People who played Archeage beta opinions

[Kergan]

Class system is awesome, that is for sure.

As for the combo things, I think its kinda neat that a well played and constructed duo or trio of people can make a difference...but in the end, its about figuring out the optimal rotation for your abilities relative to others and doing it as fast as possible. Pretty much the same situation as WoW.

The new player experience and starting areas are so cookie cutter and abyssal that I logged out after doing one or two quests. You can also pay real money for crafting materials that you can sell for in-game gold. Real money for in-game money in the drop of a hat.

Oh and they have cars..

This game does have some innovative implements, but it's all over the place with it's theme and doesn't punish you enough.

I'm definitely not going to waste my time with arche-age

Yeah feels to have a lot of the gay shit of modern mmos.

quest leveling process is painful. basically a tutorial. after a week its over and you play the normal game.

What broke the decision for me, is that there is no inverted mouse option, and theyre not guaranteeing any time frame that this will be fixed

This might help:

I'm not wasting a week or however long it takes to get to 30 just to get to the fun part. If a game isn't fun when I start playing then I move on.

This sums it up.

After about 3 or 4 hours of mindless quest following & clicking my way through dialogue I just uninstalled, didn't even bother playing the rest of the weekend beta I was so put off.

Its a Korean MMO. It wont be what you want it to be or succeed on any epic level. It will turn out "meh", just like GW2. Nothing more, maybe less.

Come join Somali Coast Guard. Pirates gonna pirate.

The graphics are prolly the best any MMO has ever had. The tradeskill system is pretty revolutionary and the naval combat is truly awesome.

It's very button mashy with some classes, and lacks the skill of EQ's pvp system. Allot of Rock, Paper, Scissor's with class balance. It's allot more balanced than WoW in the sense that there aren;t any flavor of the month op classes. But if you get two people on you within a 5 lvl range your toast. Unlike Eq where you can fight a few people, and dunk on them.

Resist system is bad, they have only physical, and magic resist, so every CC effect lands, it's absorb not resist based system like wow.

Damn
