hey guys this is matuscha. i have recently been trying out games today to see what kinda new games there are since i recently got a better graphics card from a friend.

the game in question is archeage.
archeage is a f2p and a pay to win based game. the game is very heavy sandboxed and is open world game play. there are currently 3 factions Nuian, haranyan, and pirates.

you can only get pirate faction if you are constantly pvping your own faction or stealing trade packs and other things from other players. the game is very heavy gear score based which is a pain in the ass. if someone has a gear score under 3800 your pretty much screwed. this game is very enjoyable for those that just like a farming but make sure that if your f2p make sure to just try and log in here and there to get your labor points. this game revolves around labor points. sadly this game feels to heavy pay to win based due to that labor system. f2p only gets 5 labor points every 5 minutes. while a player who is paying for a patron subscription gets 10 labor for every 5 minutes, and recieves 5 labor for every 5 minutes not logged in. so here are my pros and cons.

pros:
-very fun and very open world
-has great class selection over 120 different and unique classes to play
- very fun raiding and dungeon system.
-has great open world pvp and has a bounty hunter system.
-great customization on character selection with lots of sliders and effects.

Cons:
-this game is seriously to heavy pay to win
-someone with a higher gear score you wont put a dent in
-to have a farm or house,mansion, you need to have patron status.
-to make money you have to be patron and on constantly
-majority of the items in this game require you to regrade and you need the gods of rng to get a good upgrade, failing an upgrade can demote your upgrade to a lower tier, and failing can break it making you waist all that money to make a new item.
-trying to dodge abilities is like trying to dodge a swarm of angry bees.

now should you play this game. NO this game should only be played unless you have real life money like a stable job to play this. this game is quite fun but it just costs to much time and effort to play and spending $15 a month and is very and i mean very rng rolling to get the gear you want to the teir you need to be OP as fuck. there are constantly to many updates and archers have been nerfed to the ground making it useless in pvp.

overall this game is a major waist of time and consumes to much to play and leveling when not a patron is like not even worth it. leveling 1 toon is to much but the game has alot of elements that are worth the time.
thats my review of this game peice for now.
