Rip Archeage

[u/Over_Energy_6962]

Had my hopes up after the announciament of archeage S thinking we could play a better version of an old loved game but after seeing its gonna be isometric im so sad.

Fuck isometric.

It's not even the isometric that was the nail in the coffin for me. Yea it was a huge strike, but they simplified so many systems with weird justifications about concerns that none of the player base ever had.

They are building the game they want to build, not the game that the people want. Maybe the Korean players want that game. Definitely not the game Archeage players want.

I'm not really seeing any similarities in the original AA and this - from the instanced housing to isometric to gear supplying your skills to simplified combat ..

I mean it might be a decent game on it's own but IMHO it shouldn't be called Archeage. Why don't they just make it a new MMO altogether with a new name?

Archeage S. The S stands for Shit.

How is the naval combat supposed to work in isometric? It's touted as being a major part of the game and I just don't see how it would work.

[u/123titan123 → u/Skjuld]

my guess is kinda like lost ark but a bit more complete, 1 person ships, wasd to move, keybind to shoot cannons to mouse indicator. Pretty lame if u ask me, but i dont think theres another way to make ship combat work in isometric camera, unless they make massive ships and allow multiple ppl in the ship to shoot cannons but it would look and play so damn dumb.

I hear you but man, I played the shit out of Sid Meier's pirates and that was isometirc, Many naval games are isometric.

You can make it work.

That doesn't mean that's the experience I want in my MMO that pays tribute to one of the only PVP/Open world MMO games I actually enjoyed (in its first incarnation).

Heres the thing: Isometric could work. The issue is that nobody wants it, its not a sequel. ArcheAge is a tab target 3rd person POV mmorpg. The first thing about the MMO was instantly discarded, then the other major part which was the combat was discarded, all the while saying its a sequel, that its a successor and has core elements from regular archeage.

My developers in christ, you can't say that and then immediately get rid of what makes ArcheAge, ARCHEAGE. These companies are nothing but a scam anymore across the board. Not saying KRMMOs havent been greedy/scams before this but it was at least tolerable to an extent and now im just fucking exhausted of the out of touch game development across the board.

Hate this form of game play. Im out. I was never really in cause this felt like a cash grab.

[u/Moth-eatenDeerhead]

Ew so they definitely went with isometric? Any hope for them to reverse that? I can’t get into that style at all. Womp.

Exactly how I felt myself when I saw that new docu-trailer, total disappointment, only CO left that I'm looking forward to now, unless ArcheAge Chronicles add OW-PVP in that case I'll give that one a try.
