Hey everyone playing ArcheAge, it's your friendly Rhoklaw reminder awaiting the moment I can say I told you so...
So, does that mean (and I'm not saying this will happen) if the game "doesn't" go pay to win (again, not saying what will happen and who knows maybe it will go pay to bling as well) you will come back, admit you were wrong and eat crow?
I wont speak for everyone who can see something like this being an obvious cash grab off of a desperate market, but I would love more than anything to be wrong,
Oh, it could be THE biggest cash grab. I hope it's not because it is a decent game. But I'm just wondering that "if" it proves to be legit if those pulling other's chains will acknowledge they were wrong.
I'm guessing no.

By the time I can get in the game will be P2W. The last two nights I have been waiting three hours + to get in. Thats all my gaming time. Good thing I can play my switch or PS4 while I wait
It'll simmer down but not until after the land grab this weekend. People are forcing themselves to play so they are ready to claim land when it opens up on Saturday.
I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.

This is partly why you haven't seen us stream it. Not much fun watching a queue.

What else do game editors and writers have to do besides sit around all day waiting to get into the game?

It has been a rough launch. I will credit Gamigo for staying in constant communication with the players. From the stories I’ve heard, Activision/Blizzard didn’t tell their players very much during launch.
How much is MMORPG getting paid to KEEP POSTING THE SAME SHIT ABOUT THE SAME GAME.
No offense, long long time lurker on the website but holy shit i have never seen this many articles about the same game with little to no new information at all just wanting attention for this game.
Probably nothing . lets just face it mmo's are in a bit of a lull at the moment so there isn't as much for them to report anymore as there has been in the past . So they are bound to repeat themselves because mmos are their bread and butter and the breads turning stale and the butters going manky after being left out in the sun :P
As of now they have 6 full servers of people who all paid at minimum 29 bucks. Assuming these people (I'm one) are willing to put time and money into a game if it remains non P2W, they have a success on their hands.
I feel like i groused so much about AA being a great game minus the monetization, I had to at least give the non P2W version a shot.
So far have spent double the time in Queue than in game but at glance there's no red flag in the cash shop, all fluff stuff. They also removed cash shop gifting at players' request.
I'll hold my cynicism

I decided to give this game a chance again after being burnt before and now i wish i would of went with my gut feeling. I sent in a ticket because Easy Anti cheat kept giving me an error so i couldn't start the client to play. I tried everything i could find and reinstalled the client twice... So i figured I'd ask them in a nice and polite way if it would be possible for a refund because i don't see myself being able to play with this error and if they couldn't give me a refund i totally understand.
Well the response i received was.. Your gametime and account has been suspended. I was shocked but at the same time it showed me the future of this game. Enjoy everyone but be careful.
I always felt the cosmetics in AA made people look like a gay anime version of whatever the costume was trying to portray. While I'm not judging, I definitely wouldn't choose to buy it.
Hey everyone playing ArcheAge, it's your friendly Rhoklaw reminder awaiting the moment I can say I told you so...
What, exactly, are you claiming you "told us"? That so many people want
to play this game that server ques are really the only major problem?
But they are not the only major problem
People who purchase packs after character creation are not getting them - this is a huge ongoing problem - players are paying money and not getting whet they paid for.
Support tickets on the above issue are not getting answered
There are issues with labor regeneration even after claiming the item to begin labor regen.
The support tickets are not getting answered people with labor regeneration problems.
Just go talk to people sitting at zero labor who have tried everything and no answer from support.
People getting kicked from the game for no reason and then getting stuck at the end of the queue... that shouldn't be happening, the entire system of saving a slot in case you DC is broken
So there are problems, the biggest issue is Gamigo lacks support staff to handle the tickets that are coming in - which means players are stuck for days or worse without answer
Yeah this is what I've encountered.
I've been playing it because I'm a sucker for Archeage and I'll play this version until it goes Pay to Win.
But everything you listed is definitely happening.
Yesterday I wasn't regenning Labor for the first hour or so, then randomly it started going up. I had a guild mate who didn't realize you were supposed to be getting labor, until he hit level 18 and realized that he didn't have any because it wasn't working and he couldn't claim the pack.
About 80% of the people I talked to in my guild yesterday couldn't go on the website to accept their packs, I got mine sent to me somehow without even going to the website, it must have just sent to the first character I made? But most people can't even see the pack on the website anymore, the only ones who could see it were the Archeum supporters from what I could tell, otherwise the packs you are supposed to be able to apply are just gone from the site.
The queues were atrocious, the fact that they had like a 20 second timeout from queue to character select (20 seconds to create a character?) and on top of that two days ago I waited 4 hours in queue just to be locked out of character creation on that server because Gamigo is randomly enabling and disabling restrictions on character creation (which by the way doesn't kick you out of queue or even warn you about).
Once I got in and everything was working I've been having quite a good time. Lots of people, lots of PvP, little to no lag in game which is nice.

Are the pack purchase and labor regen issues common, or did a few people complain? Could it be operator error? Are the tickets not getting answered because it's day 2 of launch, busy as fuck and people should know better on any game not to expect much during this time? This is why I did not buy the game right away.
Are these actually major issues or something a few people have encountered? I know I would be frustrated, especially if I bought a founder pack, but if it was just me and a handful of other people having this issue, I would assume it was something on my end.
I mean they are b2p game, they can easily project the traffic they are be getting. Because they know the exact number of sales.
FFXIV did know the number of pre-orders yet they failed on early access too hard allowing like 1k people to server only. I bought the game and never played it, because the experience of 3 days early access seeing "disconnected from the server" was enough fun for me.

It's a minority problem. They are just being very loud about it, and rightly so. There's thousands and thousands of people cruising through the game with no issues... except the random kicks and queues, that is happening to pretty much everyone, including me. At least the kicks happen after hours of gameplay and not all the time.
Being able to play off peak has been useful for me, I'm level 50 already. Man, the mass PvP carnage through those levelling zones has been brutal when 100s of each faction are all questing in other's faces.
I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.
Third day and i have no gameplay what so ever! Now they are saying that we should move to less busy servers but the funny part is that once u claim ur Founders pack or just regular pack on ur chosen server, u cannot play on any other server(well u can but ur Patron will not work) .
By the time I can get in the game will be P2W. The last two nights I have been waiting three hours + to get in. Thats all my gaming time. Good thing I can play my switch or PS4 while I wait
It'll simmer down but not until after the land grab this weekend. People are forcing themselves to play so they are ready to claim land when it opens up on Saturday.
The land grab happened in the first 4 hours, those bots are well tuned after many years of usage. The only thing to do now is to wait for a "fresh start server, here we go !
No, it didn't, because there's a land lock until Saturday. They might be extending it for another week as well..

We had problems early on in my guild. But were all fixed by yesterday afternoon. Glad I actually pay attention to Discord/forum. There is a fix and its been published.

do think bots and hackers care about simple things like land locks.
If they were claiming land, we'd see it. They aren't. What's the point in hating by talking shit?

you were not at launch the first time around I am taking it...
