Cheap ArcheAge Gold for sale - ArcheAge focuses on the sandbox elements

Graphically, Archeage is very pretty indeed. It’s powered by CryEngine 3, providing a world of beautiful characters, lush vegetation and generally delightful images all around. So far I’ve really enjoyed just walking around and taking in a lot of the environmental sights of this game, and if you’ve got a thing for lush and somewhat realistic environments, you won’t be left disappointed by what’s going on in the game graphically. Aside from the mismatched expectation-versus-reality of the fauna, the graphics in Archeage aren’t tremendously head-turning – the environments are lovely and give off an aura of ‘come explore me!’, but otherwise the graphics are best called “serviceable.”

 

The breadth of content within ArcheAge is astounding and nearly impossible to cover everything in a review. However, I aim to give you my thoughts on why it's so entertaining to play ArcheAge, in addition to spending so many hours on leveling my character and venturing across the game's various continents. Unlike other MMORPGs, ArcheAge focuses on the sandbox elements that make most single-player role-playing games such a rewarding experience. From buying plots of land for building houses to constructing ships for sailing the sea, there are numerous ways to play the game beyond the typical narrative quests. While I completed quests for the game's primary narrative, the actual stories and characters proved to be of little interest in other than completing objectives and reaping rewards.

 

I’ve been playing it for a few weeks now, and I would suggest it to anyone who likes MMO games. The graphics aren’t bad and the game looks very nice overall. The character is really in-depth. Only problem with it is that you can’t customize your body (no boob slider :( ikr), but it isn’t so bad with there being so many face and hair features to play with. Instead, I focused on acquiring every quest possible from various characters in villages and surrounding environments. It didn't take long before I became distracted with raising my own horse mount, followed by planting various crops for harvesting and selling to market.

 

However, they do manage to implement an interesting idea for quests in the form of commitment. Basically, you can complete a quest early with no bonuses or you can wait until you are more than capable for it then over-achieve in order to get the most loot and even some bonuses as well. It all depends on how much time you dedicate to the game, so only those that spend a lot of time playing ArcheAge will be able to take full advantage of that particular gameplay feature. The main story in ArcheAge is actually quite good, but it doesn’t shine since it’s filled with a lot of cliché moments. If anything the art style is a bit over the top at times, and more than once I went out to fight against what was called a ‘water buffalo’ and ended up facing down some kind of hideous, oversized dinosaur-monster that looked as much like a buffalo as Godzilla does.

 

Take crafting as another example. Nearly every MMO has a form of crafting but not nearly every MMO has 21 crafting professions. In ArcheAge, combat is only an aspect of the game - not necessarily the focus. Sure you can create weapons and armor but you can also get into farming, carpentry, and animal husbandry of all things. Twenty-one options is a ridiculous amount of options. Yes, this includes gathering but that’s a whole thing in its own. This sort of spice gives you a truly unique experience allowing you to play your character the way you view them in their fantasy setting. Oh, there are also trade routes you can establish for economic gain, need to protect, and gives your refined goods a purpose.

 

Last on this topic, the ability to choose names for your character and your possessions needs to be changed, or fixed, depending on how you view it. Currently our naming system is limited, as we can only have a single name with no spaces. Expanding the system to include spaces allows us to have surnames and gives us more freedom in naming our boats, vehicles and pets. I would like my name to be “Pingonaut Antilles,” but I am limited to just “Pingonaut.” I would like my boat’s title to be something like “Nuia International Freighter,” but I am limited to simply “Freighter.” This change would be greatly benefit a majority of the community and would increase the immersion of the game, benefiting role-players.
