ArcheAge First Impressions "Is It Worth Playing?" 

+redcardinalist I laughed so hard at that xD the way he just assumed it was a swan

+redcardinalist I had to check to make sure I wasnt the first one to mention that!

+redcardinalist I've tried being a duck. Its not easy either.

Shattered_Pulse :)

Watching this video with my girlfriend on our PCs. Both get to the bit with the "swan" and we both say (over Skype) "it's a goose you fucking idiot" then laugh. Love the video so far. :D

Grapes He had to go to work :(

TheLazyPeon Do more? I've started playing the game and would like to see more of a series.

Jack Swifty I stopped playing once I got bored tbh, I'm sure It's crazy fun if you've got a guild or a bunch of friends but I have no motivation to get to end game with thi, sorry dude

+TheLazyPeon bro its fun if you reach level 50

Don Bautista Games shit. Developers ruined it's potential.

Its not rly pay to win tbh

+christopher pedersen it is , you can never compete with paying people , if trion didn't fuck this up it would have been the one

+spooks77 Endgame gear can be bought ... And yes its a million times faster ... sooooooo much faster. It can be done though if you are decent at math, people cant list items for correctly so profit is there ... It's worth ago but don't expect to ever rank high unless you pay. Some of the Lunastones(enchantment stones) can cost 400 gold a go. Game is huge on RNG and you CAN waste months of work and be worse off. Try it though .. But go Patron .. ITS ESSENTIAL to enjoy the game.

+spooks77 Not P2W. You can buy patron status with gold and it's a huge reason why I play. I know of paying players who quit because they don't have to and can get the same status without paying.

+djay T-b Sorry but that is not true, I have played the game since it was in test phase & reached level cap on 14 characters, only one of those I put any money into & yet all of them have stood toe to toe with paying players, all you need to do is be patient, play through the game & be smart wile playing the market. It is an amazing free to play/win game if you can be patient & put the time into it.

I suggest not hyping it as much as you did WOD....if it's terrible it might destroy your soul..

did some one say Thunderfury, blessed Blade of the Windseeker?!... what it isnt a WoW video? well screw you im doing it anyway!

TheLazyPeon thank you for making this video :)

TheLazyPeon Disappointed in new WoW expansion, that is why "ArcheAge First Impressions "Is It Worth Playing?"" haha))

TheLazyPeon World of Warcraft FREAKING LEGION

Alex Anaya this game would be amazing if it didnt have the gambling style gear upgrading/crafting.

So sad. The mechanics, world, and graphics look like a lot of love was put in the game.

It really is sad! I enjoyed this game for the first like 2 hours... then I quickly realized how boring and grindy it was. Unless you have a lot of money, friends, or time to put in, you will not enjoy this game for the most part :( The combat was quite interesting, so were the animations and much of the lore, but alas... tis not to be. But is a great Dance Sim! :P

+Alex Anaya Agree Has performance issues (low fps and crashes often) Balance does not exist Its pay to win (unless you subscribe you cant rly lvl up proffesions because of the labor system ,you cant do trading because of the labor system and you cant own land) Grind non stop even after you reach max lvl PvE is non existant PvP is who ever CC's first wins unless you have a tank spec in which case you are kited to death by archers but melee cant touch you (just type ArcheAge Arenas and watch) Its basicly who has more credit cards and can grief better srsly the game tells you to grief ppl by killing even your own faction and stealing their trade packs and /or blocking paths with your own carriages

Same here...

God i wanted to love this game so much. I remember when the Kraken was the ultimate thing. My guild of easily 60+ people were dominating our server. It was the most fun I've had in an MMO, aaaaaaaand then the Pay to Win began to kick in by Trion... the labor system didn't annoy me as much as not being able to keep my property without the subscription... eventually it became "pay to keep your 8 properties" :\

you can buy with your ''award point'' (merit badge/gilda star what ever it is) for pajamas set to earning extra 50 labor point in deep sleep..

Bell Idrael "hasn't paid a single penny" has patron

Shade Thorn Yeah, people don't seem to realize that. You can buy Patron with ingame gold. I got it easily.

Who are you trying to trick? You cant turn in tradepacks for 25g even if you went from penisula to hellswamp its up to 10g not higher.Idk about haranya continent prices.APEX was what,like 50g? On my server(Dahuta) one FUCKING APEX is 400g and you need two for patron...So I recommend this dont start playing his

this if you are not prepared to pay for it or put alot, I mean alot of time for grinding and getting labor(worst thing ever).I got to lvl 50 and just quit when I found out that libary is just grinding for ages to get to the next lvl(I am on a phone so I couldnt edit my comment)

SgtZox Typical person who has barely played the game but still bashes it like they know everything. Fellowship trade packs are worth by far more gold than normal trade packs. I took them fom one PvP zone to the furthest away PvP zone and yeah, they were worth 23g each. Easter Continent, and through a somewhat secret route it's a very short drive.

PoDaPowder yes please!

PoDaPowder Kinda unfair, considering the fact that every game has their positive points / negative points, along with the fact whether the game is a free to play game or a subscription based game; Examples: (WoW, Final Fantasy XIV). Or if you don't have enough time or a lot of time to spend. There's just so many sub directories you can put the game in, therefore you'd have to make a lot of lists and review a lot of more games to achieve this. What LazyPeon has done is giving his final opinion about the game at the end of the video, summing the aspects up of what the game belongs to, therefore I personally think that creating a list is kind of pointless, as watching the reviews gives enough information related to the game.

I never played archeage because it has a fuck ton of botting, so archeage is immediately a zero

Hope he never plays Dramatical Murder

Jellyfish are fucking terrifying.

+Popsicle Blues I saw my brother reading that once and I'm 110% certain he'd never do so himself just out of principle.

A. FRIGGIN'. GREED.

i wasn't amuse i was like 0.o?! i never saw someone being afraid of something till biting his own hand i was more worried about him then being amused

NonsensicalSpudz it wouldn't be a first impression

BackFlipPotato oh man so your telling me hes played wow before? what news to me!

+NonsensicalSpudz you better be being sarcastic

+Expoz3DxSpaRtaN .......

apple_ juice ....... what?

Aleksy The Pony SWTOR, maybe runescape then RIFT just to break up the trion games

TheLazyPeon Runescape 3 or the oldschool version?

***** He made it in rs3....So who's shit now?

***** Well then we're both idiots xD I watched it a long time ago so I forgot.

Just play isometric games like Diablo type .. at the very least they're still good. I'm waiting for Lineage Eternal and Lost Ark while currently playing Grim Dawn.

Scrolled down to say this if no one else had... fortunately, you had me covered. One more, kinda... "Pro loog." ......

I think i missed that. but seriously peon needs to get his words straight.

It's really not a big deal whatsoever. If you're that knit picky about a few words being said wrong... I'm sure you're the same type of person whose intelligence is easily insulted, bro.

Nah not really, couldn't care less about what people say about my intelligence bro. :)

Drew Jacob Proud Grammar Nazi on the interwebs since 1994 here, man. Just doing my job.

Idolismo I did try ArchAge early on but never got very far, but considering it is made by Trion Worlds which also gave us RIFT, I would imagine their cash shops are pretty similar. RIFT is in my opinion a completely P2W game, which is sad because it was at one point in time my favorite fantasy MMORPG. I loved RIFT at launch and only quit playing it because all of my friends quit playing it, when I found out another group of my friends were still playing it, I jumped at the chance to join them and start playing again. When SWTOR launched it got shelved again, until I heard it was going F2P, at which point I got a bit curious as to what they were doing again. I checked them out and saw that raiding was going to be free, and I was super excited. I went to GameStop and sold some games to purchase a game time card, and started playing it. My new sub over lapped the F2P launch with a 3/5 week split I think. I checked the cash shop when the F2P update launched b/c I had heard they were selling upgradable gear that you could raid with, and was shocked to see it, and also the first tier of PVP gear which was also upgradable. I consider that to be P2W. In comparison SWTOR, which often does get labeled as P2W by it's naysayers, does put raiding and unlimited loot rolls in dungeons and raids behind the pay wall, as well as unlimited PVP matches, and the ability to equip the best quality of gear. However they also allow you to purchase passes to get those unlimited PVP matches, dungeons, and to raid with their cash shop currency, which often people with extra disposable income will purchase and list on the GTN to make some extra credits. I spent about 3-4 months purchasing the Weekly Operations Passes using my in game wealth, and only raiding I still was having to spend credits on Account Wide unlocks on the GTN to keep from exceeding my credit cap as a Preferred Player (a Preferred Player is one who has spent $5 or more on the game in any manner possible on that account). The only gear that you can purchase from the SWTOR cash shop, known as the Cartel Market, are actually skins in which you place you existing armor and weapon mods, and mounts which scale based upon your mount skill level, and color crystals which are one of the mods that you place in your weapon, and off hand item. The color crystals are mostly flavor items allowing you to change the color of your lightsaber, or blaster fire, and providing a slight advantage while doing PVE content whilst leveling, during PVP the Bolster system actually puts everyone up to that same level of color crystal, so it is largely a wash in competitive play. I don't consider having those 2 mods slots out of the total 24 mods slots possible, as end game mods as too overpowered when they really don't provide that much of an advantage, and no advantage at all whilst you are playing in a competitive arena. If it was to even shave 5% off of your total leveling time I would be amazed. Granted having a sub normally grants a 25% bonus to exp gains, and currently grants ~12x exp gains temporarily to get people into the level relevant range of the new expac that they are launching in 2 months. RIFT grants a 40% exp gain bonus to subs.

Walter Beverly As I said in my opinion, P2W is only then when the game let's you purchase things such as armors and weapons which can not be obtained in the game. ArchAge doesn't have it. And since it's my opinion I call the whole P2W debacle a subjective matter. Some people will already go on to P2W rage only because you can sell items off the shop for a fairly large amount of gold but if you think about it ArchAge is an sandbox-ish game and everything can be sold or bough it makes perfect sense that you'd be able to sell those items to other players. Again, all of this is MY opinion and I'm not here to start a war :)

Idolismo I understand that is your opinion, however I was attempting to explain to you that generally P2W means buying an unfair advantage over people who do not pay similarly. While I understand where you come from, it's kind of delusional to say that a game isn't P2W when you can literally purchase all the items needed to compete, regardless of if you can get the same items, items of like quality in game.

Walter Beverly Again it's *your* opinion and how *you* interpret P2W. Highly subjective - that's why I try not to get involved into discussions such as these. Thing about AA is given you've invested enough time into the game you'll have all the same weapons and armor pieces as someone who bought some shinies off the Shop and sold them on the market and then purchased the gear from the *players*. Sure it's faster that way and that's why they're called credit card warriors but it's not like everyone can have it. Also something that is worth mentioning, you do not purchase the gear off the shop, you still buy it off the players or / and the market. Hey, I'm not defending AA or Trion for that matter, I'm just saying that everyone has their own version of P2W these days. Some even call XP boosters P2W.

Actually that's not my opinion it's the opinion of the majority of people who play F2P games. If you google what makes a game P2W you will find numerous articles that state something along the lines of, "Pay-to-Win, strictly speaking, in which the more money a player spends, the more powerful they become and the more likely to succeed against players who have spent less." Which doesn't mean that I would be unable to compete with someone who spent more money than me, but that I would be less likely to.

its a goose for f u ck s s a ke

it's a duck :P guess he's never seen an Aflac commercial?

lol...

i didnot pay anything. new patch is ez u can make money so much.mate got epic bow with no wallet.

man steel is this true?

yes

+Dysfunctional Fox The labor systems and cruel rng is what kills it.

FawtBalugaWhale I notice you :)

At start you have no idea. He didn't mentioned the class system later. It's a shame, really.

Jon Marsh. E rift is terrible lol

Jon Marsh. E Neverwinter could be nice too.

Thane Krios Neverwinter and Rift are the most sellout bullshit shittiest games in our galaxy

Louisdidnothingwrong Not at all. But thank you for sharing your opinion.

Louisdidnothingwrong Neverwinter is satan

Same xD

its pay to win

Don't

it's pay to win, and you'll spend every second in level 30+ zones watching your back... literally any player in the game could attack you. Good if you subscribe and like constant world pvp, otherwise it's not worth it. I subscribed for a while and couldn't understand why everyone hated the labor system... then I unsubscribed and understood very well why, lol

+Vatrellette what is labor?

3NGIN33R Yeah, few crappy textures

Magician12345 Yeah man, they've always freaked me out, they're basically tentacle water spiders that can kill you

TheLazyPeon This isn't the point, the problem there is that it was a MAGE jellyfish, which is the reason why it launched a something-bolt on you, haha.

Seriously, I about pissed myself and woke up my roommate.

+Jake A "prove it again" ... he didn't prove it in the video. That's my point. Link me to the timestamp where he proved the game is pay to win. My point stands. If you're going to speak *for* someone, at least make a valid point.

Jake A 1. Stop insulting me. 2. Subscription bonuses are not pay to win, they are like any other game with increased or double XP or increased or double Gold rate, i.e TERA or RIFT or any other with an optional subscription. You can sea fare without paying. You're wrong on this matter, give it up. Cheers.

Jake A Its takes a fair bit of time to build a boat with all the ingredients. He played for 5 hours. It takes days upon days to accumulate the materials or gather the gold to buy these. It has been estimated around 2 weeks to get all these materials for free yourself. But if you have a lot of Gold, you can just buy from the AH.

+Robu Plays i have played this and it is a pay to win game with a few other problems. the labor point system. even if you kept yourself logged in with some kind of movement macro it took a lot of time to refill on LPs. you could also buy pots to refill your LP that cost real money and sell on the AH or use yourself. i have built the clipper, the small cheep house, 2 large gardens, 2 small gardens, and the farm house. it takes forever to do it yourself or cost you a lot of cash/gold to buy the LP pots, and you will use a lot of them.i had a friend who had 4 toons and maxed out LP pot use's on all of them a day (they had a long cool down before next use), because all alts shared LP. now the other major problem i had with this game was pvp at the ports. unlike WoW and other games once your flagged in a non pvp area you stay flagged for a few mins. but on Archeage even if you are attacked at the enemies port they do not flag and are safe from your party from jumping in to help, even if there are 12 of them vs 1 of you, and they would wait in packs for you to show up. as a little issue. you also had trolls who would play nice as your lvlin in the area just to wait for you to get into a fight and flag just to kill you and unflag. so when you went for payback you had to flag and look like the troll, people passing by would jump in and kill you saving the one who started the fight. once more being locked into flag mode would of helped a lot. because no one wanted to be an official pirate, but they wanted to be pirate's. and yes i was in a pirate hunting guild and it was very satisfying to sink their ships. just before i walked away the unofficial pirates on both sides joined forces with the official pirates to blockade the open waters from both factions. it was safer to swim in stealth across, and that took forever.

You have done a lot my friend, keep up the good work!

Shut the fuck up bitch, that's your problem.

Haydar Sefkan Kayar wut

diamondsofsix enjoy your p2w terrible game

I am thanks :)

so WOW is also p2w? Since you have to subscribe to play it.

I was going to say that was a duck... but after looking up an image of a goose, I think you may be right. It sure as hell ain't a swam, though. Lawls.

+The War Fist He also tought a shark was a whale, and a lion being a wolf... so we can be safe to say he doesnt know sht about animals

+Robin Iversen Good thing he's not hosting a zoology channel here on YT

how popular is the private server now? o: i wanna try it cause the normal server is empty :c

A Orange Kitty I'll revisit Runescape, I used to play back in the day so I can't call it a first impressions

TheLazyPeon pls do old school runescape and not rs3 :D

Theodorus Screw RS3 old school's where It's at :D

TheLazyPeon RS3 could technically function as a first impression if you haven't played it. It's changed A LOT.

A Orange Kitty Doesn't Runescape have an awful community? I've heard that If you say that you play or have played WoW in the past, everyone there will pretty much hate you. Then again, I did hear this rumor about 3-4 years ago, I may be wrong now. XD

He had bad rng in game ;[

Vakgar Redaxe Well you can buy raid gear in Wow too !

Vakgar Redaxe Well actually, you can just buy a ton of money off the cash shop, cash shop items to the auction house, and bam, you just paid to win. Go ahead and buy your regrade materials and spend a few hundred doing that and you're a whale.

Vakgar Redaxe nope, its not "illegal gold". You buy the gold from the developers, Trion, and then you use that gold to buy the best in slot gear.

SuperSouleater16 After SWTOR, got a lot of games on this list to try, attempting to go at then based on most requested

oooh that's dirty!
