    Exclamation 4 Reasons I Grew To Hate ArcheAge



    Written Form:

    Reason #1 - Gold = Power. The best gear is bought with gold, not earned through skill. The game requires as much time as a full time job to get the best gear, and even then you can end up breaking the piece during regrading.

    Reason #2 - Being Powerful = Lucky & Rich. The best gear is bought with gold, and regraded through luck and gold consumption. Without a ton of gold you cannot get the best gear, so skillful players without a lot of time to farm may get left in the dust by people who buy gold, or get extremely lucky during the regrading process.

    Reason #3 - Hacks & Exploits. From land grab hacks to teleport hacks, there's something for everyone with this very unrefined engine.

    Reason #4 - Releasing Alpha content a month + after release. Trion Worlds promoted Auroria like it was super awesome new content even though it was available in Alpha. Shows XL Games may not be producing enough content.

    Those are my main 4 reasons. Overall I think ArcheAge is a great game in theory, but lacks the polish, and execution of a truly great MMORPG. Sadly, I don't think it will improve either because Trion Worlds, being a great developer, don't have control over XL Games, thus they cannot fix anything themselves.

    Question of the Video: Have you tried out ArcheAge? If so what are your thoughts on this MMORPG? Leave your comment below!

    I got banned for apparently using a 3rd party software. I asked them what it was they just dodged the question so I still don't know what I have in my pc that is so illegal. First MMO I've ever been banned from. Kinda disappointed but oh well.
    Its completely unplayable, they were supposed to ban all the hackers and cheaters, still a shit ton running around. Meanwhile I get banned for w/e reason they found valid. A guy in my guild bought a full delphinad set for 2400 bucks, easy.

    Yeah my friend got banned during their blanket sweeps. He was able to get unbanned though, shitty you weren't, but not that surprising.

    Really disappointing to hear that ArcheAge is starting to fail so hard in the west, and I used to think Trion Worlds was one of the few GOOD publishers out there. Well... I can scratch them off my list, now...

    I still like the way they are handling Rift. They develop and publish it, but they didn't develop ArcheAge so their hands could be tied.

    I'm going to assume that sandbox games are just hard to maintain. Haven't seen one good sand box MMO published without the publisher screwing it up. I quote Good sandbox, like Wushu and now Arche.

    Archeage has already failed and its really really sad, funny how alpha/beta was HOW the game shoulda of been but they ruined it with the P2W cashshop. If someone says Archeage isnt p2w well it really is i watched my friend spend $100+ dollars on the game just to get the best weapon on the server, plus with the new cashshop box it ruined the whole economy its really really lame. Thought trion was going to be one of the better companies to handle the game but i guess not.

    no Hate here but why is it p2w since you can only buy item with GOLD in game ? i know you buy $$ for gold but if you farm like a man killing mobs or Trade pack or what ever and you can also buy patron with gold in game that is only 100 g i think ? and people are sellin best weapon in game for 15k gold is it hard to farm gold in this game ? ASKING QUESTION NO HATE haha
