I dont see a topic about it so here goes then.
Archeage, big sandbox lawless MMO with nothing but PVP.
Launch was troublesome, servers were delayed, queue's were pretty bad, and the quests were terrible when you had to collect 10x something from monsters, when you can only loot the ones you hit first, and there's 300 people in the same spot trying to hit something the second it spawns.
I like the game so far, it's pretty damn ugly (strangely enough), but the near-endless seemless world and the boats sort of intrigue me. Couple levels in i got a glider for flying, a rowboat for water and a horse mount. Weapons are interesting and there's 120 diffirent "classes" to choose from, which you can customize with skills as you please.
Here's the things i dont like about it:
- I know i probably say this on every MMO released, but the community is just... wow. I have not ever seen a community worse than this, ever, in my life. It's what you get from having a Free to Play (*cough*Pay-to-win*cough*) game, that appeals to teenage gankers who get to enjoy their anonimity and can attack anyone at any time they like without any real reprecussions.
- RMT spammers everywhere. Bots rampant even though they said they would keep it in check.
- PVP is just out of controll. I am not a huge fan of it to start with, but having someone jump you (that only do it when they are waaaaay higher in level, and get rewarded for doing so) when you're crafting, walking to another town or just generally want to do something is more than just mildly anoying. This combined with there only being a viable 2-3 cookie-cutter builds out of the 120 classes is pretty damn anoying. I'm being stuborn and i'm just leveling my Executioner (sort of FF Dark Knight-ish), but if i were to run into a PVP player, my "poor" choice of class would mean that i have no chance at all.
Have you guys tried it? How do you feel about it?
