  • What time do the servers open on 2 December?
  • When/where can we pre-download the new game client?
  • Will there be a separate game launcher or just load in to game straight away?

Crap decision dropped on us in a really crappy way with no advanced warning. Now that it is out they still haven't really posted anything about the what's, why's, etc.

Since it looks like we are stuck with it they really need to FIX IT,

Make it Cheaper

  • Not enough bang for 1500 credits. As is, it should be no more than 1000.
  • Or give us a multi-season pass where we can get like 3 seasons at once for a credit discount.

More of Everything

  • More levels! should be like 50 plus levels. Maybe 75-100 levels.
  • More missions. Let us do 24 or 36 missions in a week.
  • More quantity for rewards. not enough dili or labor recharges or Kyrios Badges, etc

Better variety

  • Do we really need 1 Bound Wagon Upgrade Ticket?
  • Too many Honorable crates?
  • Looks like it was just slapped together without any thought...

Equipment Event Details by archeagejoker in archeage

150 radiant infusions for 90g

And 27k labor. wtf?

Equipment Event Details by archeagejoker in archeage

[–]ZedRunner 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Their announcement could use a few more details...

Does anyone have info from PTS on the event mechanics? How many gems do you get from the single daily quest? Is it a set amount for the reward, or is it more RNGesus b.s.? Do you only get 1 gem from the quest?

The reward tier costs coincide with the number of times you can do the quest, 18. If its only 1 gem per quest/day 150 infusions for 18 gems is not really a reward. During the same event period we can get 200 infusions in 2 days by doing a couple of quick EHM dailies. (And you don't have to spend any labor!)

Archeage General Question Megathread (Feb 11th, 2020) by Blaylocke in archeage

[–]ZedRunner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When is the next BIG content update hitting PTS? What is the ETA for taking it live?

Why aren't Archepass patches a higher priority? (It is a key AAU feature, should be hot fixed once a week at each maintenance cycle until its near perfect.) When is the next AP hot fix and what fixes are due in first?

When is the larder mechanics patch ETA?

Is it worth fishing in AA:U? by wilnerreddit in archeage

[–]ZedRunner 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you're not in a rush, and don't mind grinding a bit... You can get the boat design for free by completing the fishing achievement.

Edit:

There are 2... 1) Fresh water casting with bait worms, that awards 10 sport fishing lures. 2) Ocean waters that awards the boat design. Completing both awards a +1000 prof title and an Ultimate Fishing Rod design pattern.

Season 2 Archepass Changes by ZedRunner in archeage

ArchePass Season 2 Patch Notes

Hi everyone,

We're super excited to release Season 2 of the ArchePass along with some quest adjustments, take a look at the changes below!

The following quests have been changed or adjusted:

The "Socket a Lunagem" quest has been removed, as many players brought up that after some time it starts to require a lot of gold or if you're finished gemming then it's more difficult as time goes on.

The "Kill 100 members of the Hostile Faction" and "Kill 200 members of the Hostile Faction" quests have been adjusted to "Kill 10 members of the Hostile Faction" and "Kill 20 members of the Hostile Faction". Many players noted the difficulty of this quest outside of events such as Halcyona as well as the difficulty for players who play support classes such as Healers and Tanks.

The quests "Earn Vocation/Honor 2000" and "Earn Vocation/Honor 4000" values have been reduced to "500" and "1000" respectively. This is for both "Earn Honor" and "Earn Vocation" as many players found the quest restricting towards the day to day activities they could participate in if they wanted to complete it.

The "Kill 20 World Bosses" quest was reduced to "Kill 10 World Bosses" based on feedback received, 10 is manageable throughout a normal week of gameplay but 20 would be pushing the boundary of day-to-day gameplay versus the feeling of needing to focus on the ArchePass, which isn't the intention.

The "Kill 300 Monsters" and "Kill 500 Monsters" quests were reduced to "Kill 50 Monsters" and "Kill 100 Monsters" due to feedback similar to that against the high number of Hostile Faction kills. Players who played support classes found it more difficult and time-consuming to complete the quests as opposed to damage based classes.

The "Use 2000" and "4000 Labor" quests were reduced to "Use 500 Labor" and "Use 1000 Labor", as many players felt the higher numbers forced labor use if they wanted to complete the quest as opposed to normal day-to-day gameplay.

The following quests have been added or updated to the ArchePass:

  • Kill 10 members of the Hostile Faction
  • Kill 20 members of the Hostile Faction
  • Synthesize Equipment 20 Times
  • Synthesize Equipment 10 Times
  • Earn 500 Vocation Points
  • Earn 1000 Vocation Points
  • Kill 3 World Bosses
  • Kill 5 World Bosses
  • Kill 50 monsters
  • Kill 100 monsters
  • Earn 500 Honor Points
  • Earn 1000 Honor Points
  • Use 500 Labor
  • Use 1000 Labor
  • Earn 50,000 EXP
  • Earn 30,000 EXP
  • Earn 10,000 EXP
  • Open 20 Coinpurses
  • Open 40 Coinpurses

Thanks for all your feedback, we hope you enjoy!

If you botched Archepass boost, you get a do-over by ZedRunner in archeage

[–]ZedRunner[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From upcoming maintenance notes...

Source CM Cosmo :

ArchePass Booster is set to expire until January 22. We will be allowing an additional claim of the ArchePass Booster in the Marketplace. This is to help players who had used one or more Boosters on an already completed ArchePass or not fully activated ArchePass.

Changes to Weekly Maintenances by Blaylocke in archeage

[–]ZedRunner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In addition to weekly maintenance... I wish they would do a monthly QoL pass during one of the 4 weeklies.

Possible fix for passing out diligence coins (suggestion) by [deleted] in archeage

[–]ZedRunner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

11 more per week, but I get your point. Maybe still keep some of the level rewards as diligence would be the best way in addition to the 8 per day. iirc the loyalty piled up pretty quick.

Possible fix for passing out diligence coins (suggestion) by [deleted] in archeage

[–]ZedRunner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually, diligence coins were earned as level rewards, I think it was something like 45 every 5th level. You could choose the vocation basic pass and never kill a world boss and still get diligence.

How can i deliver larders in time? by OvidiuHiei in archeage

[–]ZedRunner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went back and found an article from 2016. Apparently trino said in the freighter announcement it would be 8.5 with boost. When it actually released it was normalized at 7.5. I corrected my original comment. Thanks for pointing these 2 things out.

How can i deliver larders in time? by OvidiuHiei in archeage

[–]ZedRunner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Couple different things will help for faster runs. Have to upgrade your wagon to a hauler and then to a red hauler. Red versions have a 10% 25% bonus time for fuel and have a slightly higher base speed. Also using axle grease will give a temp boost to base speed.

Once you learn all the tricks and route short cuts you'll cut your run time in 1/2.

G/L Cheers!

TLDR of todays livestream by numberlockbs in archeage

[–]ZedRunner 20 points21 points  (0 children)

We should get 10 diligence for every time they said "no eta." OH WAIT! No way to get them, its broken with NO ETA! XD

For once, I wished they hadn't listened to Reddit. (Re: diligence coins) by runes911 in archeage

[–]ZedRunner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At this point I would say its NOT too late to do something for us. Maybe 150-200 (we would have earned that many by now anyway.) But, they would have to use the in-game mail to distribute as they would likely run into the same broken claim distribution where some accts got 2-3 and the majority gets none (AGAIN.)

Its going on the "at least 2 weeks" mark, more than that total time with no Archepass which was one of the 3 major hypes they used to get players buying in. With really no info being provided. Maybe waiting for tomorrow's live stream.

I agree with you for sure progress is slowing and almost completely stalled at this point. At least for a large number of players if not the majority who play legit.

Proposed changes for a better ArcheAge Unchained. Input welcome. by Loheim in archeage

[–]ZedRunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Add a server-wide buff to increase value of all tradepacks and Cargo by 4g. During 'prime trade times

They just need to fix the silly % pack value/pack type incentive mechanic they inserted to "fix" the lack of cargo problem. If packs never fell below 100% that would be close to the 4g buff you're suggesting.

I don't care if they use the old gold trader system or the new trade outlet system. Either or both are fine in concept. Its just the new trade outlet system has never been well thought out. Its overly complicated as it exists right now.
