Hey everyone,

I played this game a lot about 6 months ago, never really got into the social side of things just knocked out quests to level up and was enjoying it. Anyway, I started a new job and haven't played in all that time, so I recently updated. I see there was a server merge, and the archeage site says I will receive XP/Items etc reimbursement via mail. However, I have no mail.

I've been sent back to the beginning and demoted to level 7 and stripped of all gear and skills. Frankly, I'm a little bit annoyed that I lost all of that progress. Am I missing something to get reset back to where I was? Or is there no way around this and I'm back to the beginning again?

EDIT: I have two chars, one is down to 7 and the other is at 9. I can't remember exactly, I believe I was in the upper 20s or maybe low 30s before. Thanks

Every time I go to open the game it plays the opening "Trion" and XLGAMES" opening animation then black screen until it closes. I have tried the settings.cfg with DX9 and Login_Movie 1/0 but that still doesn't work. This is on windows 10. Any help would be great.

In what ways can u get them ?

I'm on NA and I want the holiday snow cow costume. Looking to pay around 900g for it. List on AH please :)

only found that A tokens can be exchanged for Fake Tokens, what can we do with the others?

welcome to TW server pvp

Long-time no see, Let's not waste any time on pleasantries or any memey opening. More important things to discuss

CONVICTION

Not much to talk about here, except updating on the current power players.

<PoKeSaStEr> WORLD CUCKS have combined into one guild. Pokemon Cuckdom and DISASTER merged into the same nation in a pitiful attempt to overthrow the reigning champs on Conviction <BDOcrow> <Fakecrow> AKA <A L L C A L L>. The original purpose of this "super" nation was to defeat the pug east guild <Same TBH> and take back the castle they lost last rotation. Pokemon originally said they were going to only bring their own guild but rocked up with 70-man raid on siege day with a few bunch of DISASTER in their raid. Basically, ROFL stomping the east guild into the ground and then with high hopes driven by the ecstasy of defeating a small guild, went on to try and take the content… well, the ecstasy only lasted a short while before <A L L C A L L> smashed them into oblivion bringing them back into the real world by beating them at everything…. Well, except for one DGS… I think. Anyway, after the complete failure of that attempt they split back into their separate nations to dodge anymore embarrassment.

<B D O crow> - <A L L C A L L> moving onto greener pastures have noticed that they get more PVP from a dead game called BDO then they do from the failure of the nations here on Conviction. (they still manage to beat DISASTER at everything). Still the reigning champs on Conviction, even if they are playing a separate game… Anything else I can write so I look like I'm sucking up to them? I honestly don't get enough shit talk from DISASTER about it already, it's like they don't agree with the echo chamber that these posts have become…

There are no other relevant guilds. (TBH I was tempted to leave both of the nations off the list since one of them is mentally handicapped and the other doesn't play AA as a main game anymore… BUUT I wouldn't have anything to write about so RIP that option.)

CONTENT

Why do I have this section anymore? We all know who the real winners are at this point…. Fucking Trino…

Grats to the west pugs who took DGS a bit this week. Not sure how you pulled it off.

KYRIOS

What a time I had on Kyrios. I thought the toxic cesspool on Conviction was bad. Woooo boy.

<Pugs Amoung You> - Still the biggest joke on Kyrios. Their zerg size still rivals even the biggest foreheads on NA. Not much else to say about this nation. I'd write more childish shit about them but unfortunately I don't speak their native language, although I have started taking lessons in learning how to speak retard so I might one day be able to communicate.

<Whoops, Guild Was an Accident> - Shaikes guild has officially died. I would have never guessed that a brain was needed to run a guild, oh well I guess. Lessoned learned, never join a guild lead by a brainless cheating liar. You think I would've learnt my lesson being lead by a spineless Tatia but nope… TBH I actually enjoyed being called a n***er everytime I was in raids, being insulted over and over again for the raid wiping. Never knew it was my fault, I guess at the end of the day shitty leading is shitty and there's nothing you can do to change it. To anyone in <Happy Accidents> who's name doesn't start with S and end in E, I'd like to let you know that your so called leader kicked me during a guild meeting without saying anything and then completely blocked me and wouldn't respond to my messages. Is this guild leader material, next time you get insulted for being in raid, think about where else you could be… it goes a long way. Enjoy Reckoning!

<Main Pirate Guild Now?> - <Bear Force One>/<Mishaikes Were Made>/<Whatever they call themselves now with the 50$ name change> is the last pirate guild so that means, by default they are now the main pirate guild. You guys happy? You won? I wouldn't call it a victory though. More like a speed bump. (Bonus points if you follow Shaike to Reckoning and rub salt in the wound)

Content

Last I checked <G_G> is still winning. Not that it matters. No other server is relevant except for Conviction

Community Notices

This is just your friendly reminder that this game is dying, Conviction is the so called "PVP" server and even people here are bored and leaving the game. Thanks to Trino this game is on a downhill descent with no breaks into the abyss of forgotten games… oh wait, you can't forget this game. I will always remember how much Trino fucked this game over. Crowfall is coming out soon, it's a much better game :^ )

This weeks news is rushed again because I am getting busy IRL and this will probably be my last post for a while till when things pick up again (if the frail nerds from Omen ever decide to show up). I do have another meme video in the works but who knows when I'll have the time to sit down and do it.

Tl;dr I am a salty east guy who lost a castle and venting my frustration in the News is the only way I know how to cope with my own frailness. You got me. Please direct any complaints and downvotes to the go fuck yourself department. I'm done shitposting till Omen gets here. You fuckers better get here soon...

I was always a PVP-FOCUSED player. And Archeage used to be my home when it comes to open world pvp, but nowadays the game is dead, no matter what you say. Always the same people, never new blood upcoming. Just same stuff. I would like to know if there is any MMORPG availabe now or coming in the next month with such a good open world pvp stuff since early game as Archeage is...

it is said in the new patch that there will be an The Ahnimar Founder's Festival can somebody explain me what is this? i am VERY new to the game.

So, I've always kinda wished it was possible to immigrate to the other faction without joining a player nation. Back during beta and initial release, and for the first ~3 years of my playing, I played a Harani. I love the layout of Haranya to death, but I just love playing Dwarf so much more.

If it were implemented I feel like it would be a good idea to set the requirements a little high to keep people from willy-nilly faction hopping or using alts. Maybe require 10k language proficiency for a questline? Enforce a 30 day cooldown between swapping? Whatever the case, you'd really have to want it and make the effort.

But that's just me. I really want to live in Sunbite Wilds, man. I kinda wish there were more player nations that treatied with both sides to offer a similar option.

Are there any fresh start servers in the making? I used to play a lot in alpha but life took a turn and i had to calm down in the mmo department. I'm interested in starting up again but i'd like to start on a fresh start server if possible.

what can i do to at least survive for more than 1 second? without swiping.

Hello fellow players,returning player here. Today i experienced very serious problems. First DX11 is limited to 60 fps no matter what i do. Second: There is a insane amount of stutter/vibrate in ocean it doesnt look smooth at all. DX9 fix Fps lock issue but didnt do anything for sea texture My rig is very good. Win 10 16GB 3000mhz Ram 1080 Ti 6700k

I've recently quit playing RIFT due to lack of new content. I was interested in playing Archeage since I've never played any of the content. Are server populations high enough for me to queue as Tank for dungeons and raids? (In a reasonable queue time)

is there a formula to calculate total damage reduction when you account for defense, toughness, and damage reduction?

seems like there could be to me. Trions games are in competition with all other games ie AA - technically anyway. and dont Trion actually have their own mmos? so it kinda is a conflict of interest imo. thoughts?

Welcome to /r/ArcheAge's Trion plz Mondays scheduled sticky discussion thread!

I've been told to play Ebonsong, but looking for some advice and help with the build. I run into trouble when I'm alone 1 v 1 l. Should I be running a different class when solo? Also looking for build advice as far as skills and gear. Thanks

Hello,

got a short question about the lib paintings. I once read that the scraps respawn after a reset. What do they mean with it? So at what time/day would it be best to look for them. Need all 3 floors still. Thank you for answering.
