This also causes some odd shit to happen… at one point last night a rock on the ground was speaking korean to me… and I never quite figured out what was happening there. Right now the experience feels a little disjointed since you are supposed to be getting treated to nice cutscenes… that happen to all be in Korean.
#Archeage map tool series#
The first several levels are the same as every fantasy MMO with a series of punctuation leading you around the map and showing you the things you should do. Solid CombatĬomplaining about the character models aside, the game feels very good once you actually get into it. I feel like my choices were as good as possible with the system. I can live with it, but I am not exceptionally happy about it. The above character is as “close” to the standard Belghast appearance as I could get out of the system. So Trion if you are reading… not sure if this is something you can do but both ArcheAge and Rift for that matter need better beards for the human models. This is a little bit disappointing considering from everything I have heard there are some massive configuration options available for the female models. There was not a single “real” beard option available. They have beard options but essentially they were choices between “Five O’clock Shadow”, “Peach Fuzz” and “Well Trimmed Peach Fuzz”. I went into FFXIV with the same fears but found myself pleasantly surprised that I could create a character aligned to western ideals with a very nice beard and everything.ĪrcheAge unfortunately… this was not the case. It very difficult in these style of games to create any form of a male that is not a “pretty boy”. I had this problem with Aion, GW2, and to some extent Rift.

I generally have a problem with the Asian and specifically Korean graphical style, in trying to create a character I really liked.


I have to say at this point my hopes were a bit dashed. I didn’t get much time to play at that point, but I did manage to create a character. I came home over lunch to take a breathing treatment, and when I got there it was ready and waiting for me. As I said yesterday, a friend of mine hooked me up with access to ArcheAge alpha and throughout the day it downloaded and installed.
