Hello and welcome to the forums

Things change, but the devs have provided enough thoughtful commentary for me to believe they have good intentions. I'll fully against p2w but I do support pay for convenience. Time is the most valuable asset we have in this life.

I really like the idea of the NPC vendors being paid a wage.. I just hope that whatever the implementation there is an API that allows us to pull data and compare without manually walking to each stall. If not, we just need some sort of information in game.. Where to find what type of items or something.

My motivation was lasting value.. I think the Immortal package is the best value to support the game. That being said, I went Governor. I wanted to give in a way that the effect is felt for as long as the game is playable. I'm looking forward to trying my hand at running a town and I'm excited to participate in this style of game play. I'm excited to test things out through alphas and in to beta.. As I've grown older, I find equal enjoyment in economic play as I do PVP.

Albion Online, it's come a very long way

Is there a dev tracker anywhere? Some forum software feature plugins to bring such functionality. @Specter

sandbox games going to sandbox

Personally, PVP will be my main intention. Trade will keep me busy though.

Thank you for sharing, interested in the direction the art is going

feliz navidad

Toxic communities, rng, overload unnecessarily grindy grinding, and micro-transactions or pay 4 power

I support pay 4 convenience, not pay 2 win through pay 4 power

@jetah said in Weapon upgrading:

i played a few asian games where you upgraded your gear and at first i loved it but then it gets to a point where you never see gear drops.

i've been more excited in games that offer different gear with better stats.

I felt like that in archeage.. upgrading and breaking were the worst. Personally I like the idea of some weapon crafting consuming an earlier tier of product. So tier 1 sword needed for tier 3.. etc etc.. By always requiring a T1 sword, the crafter will continue to steadily increase their proficiency crafting all swords. I'm a fan of diminishing returns, but just something to sink lower tier crafted products while serving a useful purpose.

Earlier on the community was smaller and less active.. Which resulted in the same people winning and getting massive bumps. I've only won three drawings and been active for over 8 month. The four months prior to me joining were critical for those in the top 100 from what I can see. Now that the community is much larger, the odds are very different and points awarded spread out over more people. Some drawings one person would win multiple times. I'm in the 130s and have no referrals or anything, just doing my part and trying to stay active. I'm 4,000 points away from top 100.. So 4 wins or a combination of ambassador and a few drawings.. Or as little as two ambassador wins. For perspective.

@sithos Much better then cookies friend

Forget Origin, we've got Discord. At the end of the day it's all going to come down to exclusives.

In the top 140.. so close.. yet so far. Glad it's fixed now.
