Its not the questing that is the focus. The focus is that most people will not look at the sandbox side of the game or even realize it is there because so many just get caught up in questing.

Quests are the bane of the sandbox. The Examples i have listed are where the same thing happens - on player AND DEV side of the coin. New player are introduced in questing, and DEVs are focused on making those quests "entertaining". this spirals up to the point, where one side forgets the Sandbox - or both.

whats even worse - those quests probably will never ask you to shoot down another player, or to defend something against other players. (PvP games)

Dont forget in Archeage Quests are all PVE yes but once you get to lvl30 the quests will lead you into the PVP areas. Im not entirely sure people will "miss" the sandbox elements of the game.
People are exposed to farming very early on (45mins after you first start playing).

Re: Archeage (Don't)

I like it. There are issues such as long queues and 2-3 DCs per day and some lag every now and then, but which game didn't have issues on launch.

I've been in jail already for chopping down someone else's trees and did my first intercontinental trade run yesterday. It's been a while since my heart raced so hard and it's been in Darkfall years ago. Risk/reward seems to work here.

The criminal system is fun. Whenever you commit crime (murdering/stealing/uprooting), you leave bloodstain or footsteps behind. Other players can then interact with these and report you. Once you get over 50 crime points, your next pvp death will send you to jail. There you can select to either go to trial or directly to jail and serve full sentence.
During your trial, a jury is summoned which consists of 4 players and they decide your faith.

The game was boring as *** until the mid 20s as you just grind *** generic quests, but once you get into pvp area or go out to sea, it's completely different game.

I'm on EU Kyprosa server. Name is obvious. Add me if you want, or not. yarr

Are you able to stun people there?

I believe pvp could be very exciting and the game has what it takes. But this is game is ruined and we all know  by who, it´s by corps like CiR, -77- and PHM. - by Fu ManChu

Re: Archeage (Don't)

Been playing it since the release. I wouldn't say it's a sandbox MMO if you compare it to EVE or Perpetuum, but it has some nice elements.

Good parts:
- Class system. Lots of interesting combinations and easy enough to swap.
- Vehicles.
- Pirating with ships.
- A lot of content after hitting lvl 50.

Bad parts:
- Progress is either through questing(fast) or crafting(slow).
- Only 3 different types of armors: cloth, leather, plate.
- Typically grindy.
- No full or even part loot PVP. Only trade packs are huntable.
- You need patron(subscription) to experience the game to the fullest.. and skip the *** queues.

Re: Archeage (Don't)

Flavour of the month MMO. ?

Re: Archeage (Don't)

Just saying, EU Melisara server is where to be. smile

Re: Archeage (Don't)

If only we could get the folks in this games queue into perp.

I spend more time in queue or waiting on server to come back, then i do in game.  Thats also the only time I open the minimized perp windows too, though I think I am playing perp more because on QueueAge.
