Archeage - Shadowbane 2.0?

Nehemia · May 17th 2011

I suggest you check this one out:
http://www.aaportal.net/en/introduction-to-archeage.html

Its faction based, yet you can just create your own faction. Territory control, cities and villages, naval warfare, not to mention politics are in. FFA PvP after x levels (Newb protection). Uses cryengine 3, and looks awesome yet doesn't require much from your PC (apart from masssive RAM consumption of 2+ gb in capital cities), not to mention the psychics allow you to cut down trees (they actually fall to the ground) blow up bridges etc. 120 classes using combinations of 3 classes with 1 primary, 2 secondaries (allowing you to have 460 different specs), you can't level up all the skills, which increases the amount of specs even further. Doesn't require botting/macroing thanks to this awesome invention of "Labor force".

Looks promising indeed !

In one of his interviews, Jake Song asked to imagine a lake, created after someone casted a meteor to hit the ground in a battle a week ago.

lol

Not to mention:

"If i don't like some player - I will kill him. If he doesn't understand the lesson, I will set fire on his house, trample his crops and eat his horse's corpse for weeks!"

thats gonna be a lot of lakes

looks really good - but I have seen so many good looking games in the past and none of them lived up to my expectations....let's wait and see

Well, its Jake Song WITHOUT NCsoft. Not to mention they've got pretty decent other developers working with them, so its looking rather bright.

Example of PvE: No tank shit required according to "Its retarded that /tank/ class can /tank/ a giant that's fist crushes the entire army with one blow".

Looks interesting! But maybe a little to much freedom? They shouldn't add everything from the beginning - otherwise it ends like Hellgate London.

Nehemia · May 26th 2011

Well, endgame (i.e. conquest and city controlling) is reserved for end-game, aka. the 3rd continent. So Shadowbane's endgame, before that, its UO. You can watch the live streams at aaportal.net, it looks awesome. Someone got ganked just before entering the city at level 15, so at least from lvl 15 onwards you're allowed to PK anyone.

me loves ganking :lib:

ja hört sich ziemlich gut an - andererseits ziemlich komplex und nicht gerade nach nem game was man "eben mal so" zocken kann

Thats exactly my thoughts. We are not able to play hard core any more

[GD]Kyle · May 27th 2011

oh forgot what part of forum I am at :mad:

I agree with spliff. Review looks promising, but my guess is that this game will be rly time consuming. I wish iIwould still have the time tho :O

Spliff · May 27th 2011

fuck zeh job, fuck zeh wife and fuck zeh germanz :mad:

**Chomsky** · May 27th 2011

Nein, supposedly it will not be time consuming, supposedly. But if it is, that is why Faxion is so appealing to me. Since the very beginning and the early days of StrayBulletGames they said they wanted to appeal to the non-hardcore gamer.

[GD]Kyle · May 28th 2011

if a guy tells me he got "lost in the woods" in an mmorpg....I think it is rather time consuming :mad:

as for faxion - you shalll be my guinea pig choms :mad:

I suggest checking some CBT3 videos.

http://www.justin.tv/fallanx?u…m_source=www.aaportal.net

Its stream, but they have recordings there as well (CBT is over).

You can just be a red PK ala UO.

No conquest, but PK PvP.

Darkwish · Jun 1st 2011

Any idea when this is gona be going into open beta or release? I think im in love if they can deliver half of what they promise :d

Sorry if I'm necro'ing this but, it seems archage will be coming to EU and NA by or before 2014! I see some guys are excited as much as me, this should hopefully satisfy my thirst for some good PvP.
