Transcripts

okay well how the [ __ ] do you spell

ArcheAge

ArcheAge we play ArcheAge Unchained

Fresh Start no I'd rather wait for the

second game actually here we go hey what

up boys so our cage is a game and that's

pretty much all the research cacao did

when they took over the publishing rides

before this franchise a lot of us here

in this community are well aware of the

ups and downs of arche and many of us

are probably looking forward to Arcade

two however so

did we talk about this on the stream or

not

so whenever I did the Wrath of the Lich

King tournament with soda and Nick

soda was talking about how he was

excited for arcade 2.

and I was like yeah it's going to be pay

to win

and then Nick says well that's good for

us

[ __ ] randomly

yeah we talked about it a little bit we

did not so do a super hype though yeah

yeah he was really excited about it too

it's not the game itself I'm worried

about it's the reason ashes of creation

exists in the first place the God damn

monetization and today now that the

first trailer is out I want to discuss

cacao games as a publisher and Excel

games as developers okay before we get

into that our patrons and I would love

for you to grab yourself bugs

Cola because although I don't have a lot

of experience with arcade before it

turned into the mess that it is today I

do have a fair amount of hours exploring

the game's systems and mechanics

comparing them closely to our highly

anticipated MMORPG book okay most

importantly I know what cacao are like

as Publishers and today didn't this guy

play Black Desert

I'm pretty sure he did

hopefully I can set some expectations

for arcade too yeah before they start

dishing out their corrupted brand of

copium now with all that bugs out of the

way

let's begin

shall wait

so before we begin I think a first

impressions of the trailer is in order I

think I speak for everyone when I ditto

the standard reaction to Korean MMORPG

trailers but what about them yeah the

standard reaction is this wow it looks

great I hope it's not pay to win

monetization and don't worry about that

my friends we'll be jumping into that

soon alongside this trailer reveal we

also have some interesting information

related to The Game's direction to

accommodate it so I will of course be

discussing that as well first of all the

game looks stunning thanks to the new

Unreal Engine 5. I'm sure most of you

watching this video are already well

acquainted with the power of Unreal

Engine 5 so we won't dwell on this for

much longer other than it looks great

almost too great generic one might say

but we have a video about this

particular topic coming soon and I do

think that a lot of the design in this

game is not very stylistic

like it would be very hard for me to

look at something in this game and think

to myself oh that's because of this game

yeah it's not stylistic but it's also

very early on so it's hard to say

wait to elaborate on the details related

to Arc H2 Excel games are focusing on a

more personal storyline around the

mysteries of Forgotten civilizations in

this world fleshing out the lore as this

MMO does indeed share the same world and

story as arcade one this is a very

similar situation to Guild Wars 2 and

the premise worked very well in that MMO

considering its success creating some

interesting ties to past characters with

Nostalgia bait and familiarity although

it is worth noting the major differences

between these two MMOs is that arcade is

aiming for roughly the same time period

instead of hundreds of years into the

future like Guild Wars 2 chose to go

with additionally the content available

for this sequel is aiming to build upon

the unique aspects that made arcade so

appealing creating a rarely seen

nowadays seamless open world with

non-linear progression and although

these sound like buzzwords in the

current year I will admit that arcade 1

did a fantastic job at this particular

aspect due to its sandbox focused nature

rather than the cookie cutter theme park

formula we are all used to and whilst

we're on the topic because I'm very

curious about is like how the actual

design of the game is going to be

that's what really matters the most is

like open World sandbox theme park

MMORPG all of these are just words

you know like I I don't I don't place as

much value in them until I actually see

like what the content is that defines it

turn it down a bit yeah of sandbox XL

games are of course expanding upon the

core systems and features that made

arcade unique the housing is returning

as it was one of the most beloved

systems and is praised to be one of the

best housing systems in this genre

they're also planning to improve upon it

with more customizations and even a

system to create the problems with your

friends and Guild members next to the

trade pack system is also being

reintroduced with a Fresh coat of paint

allowing for focus on solo group and

raid tier Caravan runs an interesting

concept and a concept that is focused on

fixing the damning flaws of the current

game no doubt a restructure of the PVP

systems and ways to combat griefing an

interesting topic considering it's

always what's hard to do is like how to

balance World PvP with griefing and it's

like you just have to have good systems

because you like open world PVP does

have a lot of value and I do think that

people do like it but the problem is

that whenever it becomes

just like this oppressive force that you

can't go out into the world without

having to deal with it constantly

discussion happening around ashes of

creation but we'll touch on this later

in the video finally I couldn't end this

segment by mentioning that the game as

you could probably tell from the trailer

is focusing highly on an action-based

combat system with high quality AAA

Graphics thanks to Unreal Engine 5.

we'll be launching on both PC and

console so we'll likely be a heavy focus

on a limited action set similar to games

like Elder Scrolls online or New World

overall the game looks very black desert

online yeah it almost looks like a

sequel to that game rather than arcade

however I think that is probably just

down to the graphic style being very

Korean focused so my first impressions

are not too interesting generally an

action-based combat system tends to lack

the massively multiplayer aspect because

it's difficult to create group focused

synergies with action combat however due

to the direction of the trader and what

did you see that happen with like new

world like tanking and like healing in

that game is like a little bit scuffed

creative director expressed it doesn't

seem like ArcheAge is aiming to be a

tight-knit group focused PVE MMORPG

anyway but I guess time will tell now

with the rose tinted glasses coming off

it's time to discuss the elephant in the

room the question on everyone's mind and

likely the reason why this MMORPG will

fail in the long run similar to Arcade

one the monetization

I don't have much knowledge when it

comes to arcade's history with pay to

win and monetization all I know is that

after one particular update the one that

involved the Thunderstruck lobs the game

pretty much solidified itself as dead

because this particular item being

available to purchase with real life

money ruined the economy permanently

this sparked the excessive amounts of

Fresh Starts manipulating the player

base into thinking the economy was reset

and therefore all progress along with it

with brand new servers however as the

history has shown us Fresh Starts are

not a fix they are just a way to

temporarily breathe life into an already

dead corpse I think Fresh Starts are

good whenever there's massive new

content like for example whenever they

made Fresh Starts for Wrath of the Lich

King server and Fresh Starts for New

World

that's good but the thing is you can't

just take the same game re-release it

again and say here you go

the Fresh Start do it all over again now

looking at you new world how about the

Insight I can offer you is my

experiences with cacao games an

Insidious plague upon the MMORPG genre

and a publisher who destroyed the

reputation and monetization of one of

the only Korean MMORPGs to have genuine

potential here in the west due to its

extremely impressive World mechanics

high quality visuals and genuinely

satisfying progression Black Desert

online I still consider that to be my

main MMO even though I haven't touched

the game for two damn years since I

started selling my soul to the mighty

algorithm BDO pretty much scratches all

the itches I specifically look for in an

MMO but because of cacao Black Desert

online is plagued by every Western

players Kryptonite yes unnecessary

amounts of cleavage but also pay to win

when BDO was being I feel like that's

not really Western players Kryptonite

anymore especially with things like wow

tokens and things like uh you know Lost

Ark

it you know let's be honest I think

people are more okay with it now but

yeah it's like especially whenever the

problem whenever there's a pay to win

game is whenever a pay to win game a

person who spends let's say fifty

dollars is less powerful than a person

who spends a thousand dollars and a

person who spends a thousand dollars is

less powerful than a person who spends

ten thousand dollars and a person who

spends ten thousand dollars is less

powerful than a person who spends 20.

that's where the real problems come in

with pay to win like if there's just

some sort of like uh crystalline aura or

like you know some small amount of

battle pass type thing it's not really

that big of a deal but whenever you just

have to continuously spend more and more

money that's whenever it sucks

published here in the west by cacao

games they're representative assured us

that the game would not launch with pay

to win and had various interviews to

assure us no that I don't think they're

going to watch it with pay to win either

because see you want to get like

whenever you are fishing

you don't start with the hook

I mean there's a hook in the [ __ ] in

the ocean the fish is gonna be like oh

[ __ ] that

I don't want that that's a [ __ ] hook

I don't want to eat the hook

but if you put a worm on it

and they're like oh [ __ ] it's a worm I'm

hungry I'm gonna just go eat the worm

and then after they start eating on the

worm

then comes the hook

and that's what they're gonna try to do

you see they they get you into the game

and then after a while they change the

monetization so I I feel like that

that's what happened with Black Desert

like a Black Desert on its U.S release

was not pay to win it it had different

things it had micro transactions that

you could buy that would make your

character more effective in certain

situations however it was not even

remotely as pay to win as something like

Lost Ark is

so yeah I I and that's what they did

with lost star or sorry that's what they

did with uh with Black Desert so I would

assume and also it seems like that's

what they did with ArcheAge one

that the game was not originally pay to

win and then some sort of update came

out that made it pay to win

so like if this is two games that are

effectively the exact same genre that

they were both involved with you can

pretty much assume that that's what's

going to happen again

pets and costume Buffs are the most

Advantage you can get I think uh yeah

yeah

was the plan

created a huge boss of excitement for

this next Generation open world MMORPG

releasing here in the west back in 2014

but that's the tactic you see my friends

cacao games are liars and cheats

outright deceiving players publicly

without even acknowledging their deceit

as long as they got the bag people you

never want to say that they lied I mean

that's like I mean you can't [ __ ] go

and say oh yeah we just bullshitted you

guys but that's what happens

released here in the west it launched

with very minor pay-to-win aspects that

were supplemented with in-game earnable

items but with the very first patch they

immediately went back on their word and

begun injecting all the Pay to Win trash

that we see today ruining the game's

potential to compete with the top spot

due to its well-designed long-term

progression and that's what the problem

is is that you have I don't think that

bike deserts progression is well

designed by the way I think it's dog

[ __ ] but um either way uh it's certainly

better than pay to win I'll tell you

that so yeah I mean of course that's

what they're going to do because like

also the game might not be making enough

money and so they add this stuff in to

make money back up for it

option that is now spoiled with pay to

win shortcuts and garbage RNG systems

that favor players who pay cacao games

are trash and even now 10 years later

they are still fully looking to profit

like parasites as they rebooted arcade

one the moment they acquired it assuring

everyone they had removed the pay to win

they just replaced it with something

even worse complete incompetence once

again ruining the reputation of arcade's

fresh start for the 10th time now I've

honestly lost count at this point but it

doesn't kind of want to try one of the

Fresh Start servers just to see what

they're like

matter the point is arcade 2 may be a

well-made game bringing back that

seamless open World gameplay utilizing

trade systems housing and ocean combat

but sadly the game will be pay to win no

matter how much cacao games try to

deceive you this I will take their word

that it is not pay to win because I lose

nothing for assuming that they will tell

you the truth but keep in mind they said

that it will not be paid to win on

launch

okay as somebody who is an expert in

adding qualifying statements to

otherwise

um agreeable things in order to create a

window for you to get out of them at the

11th Hour

this is exactly what they're doing

is not a prediction this is a warning do

not let cacao blind you with Nostalgia

and fake promises for they have a

reputation of Lies deceit and

incompetence even as recent as last year

it's pretty early anyway enough Doom and

Gloom cacao really get under my skin and

I'd rather talk about something far more

relevant a game that quite literally

doesn't exist

actions of creation versus let's get one

thing straight arcade this is like

[ __ ] this is like would Goku win

against Superman

neither of them are [ __ ] real

yeah it's like this like imaginary

[ __ ] battle you know

a Sandbox MMORPG is top tier even in its

modern Unchained State the game is well

worth a try if you're rocking in the

corner of your room desperately waiting

for any kind of Ashes of creation news

Excel games have proven themselves

capable of Designing a compelling world

with unique MMORPG mechanics and the

fact that ashes of creation is taking

the core premise of their game and

building upon them brings me a lot of

hopium it's even implementing some

vastly praised systems in a few of our

older MMOs back before the genre became

a corporate mess games like Eve Lineage

2 and Star Wars Galaxies are the spices

Stephen and the team have chosen to cook

with and I for one am really looking

forward to tasting the results but will

arcade 2 really compete with ashes of

creation it does not fill me with a lot

of confidence whenever

you know there's a list of games

and they're all dead and it's like hey

we're taken from these games it's like

oh I don't know about that

oh I don't know about that man

it's hard to say so I I I guess it

really just depends on like what it's

actually like like we've talked so much

about like what ashes of creation could

be but who knows what it's really gonna

be you have no idea

or will it just be another fart in the

wind like bless online and lost art a

difficult question indeed there's two

core differences I would not say Lost

Ark is a fart in the wind I feel like

Lost Ark does have a very large

community and a lot of people play the

game

like there's a lot of people that

consume Lost Art content now I think

that's because a lot of people play it

copium oh I don't know about I'm just

looking at the numbers

like I'm just saying like you look at

like Lost Ark on Twitch lost dark on

YouTube the videos get a good amount of

views Etc I I mean yeah I don't I don't

think it's crazy to say that lost ark is

popular

between ashes and arcade too firstly

arcade is of course being designed with

very Korean based systems and gameplay

this will likely involve terrible

balance based on monetization daily

gated systems based on monetization

progression designed for monetization

and very anime slash sexually appealing

characters

ashes of creation are aiming to steer

clear from the second core difference is

the obvious Direction in design

philosophy Intrepid are fully focused on

carefully designing a game that is

Catered specifically to Steven's design

pillars but are open to making

reasonable changes that continue to

improve the game without compromising

any of them core philosophies so I think

that's a smart thing to do I mean you

can never really I think it's always bad

to be so attached to an idea that the

idea takes precedence over anything else

like just because the idea is good or

that there's some kind of great thing

like oh yeah we'll get this idea like

yeah well we want it to be like this

what if the players don't like it yeah

the vision can be a uh

instead of being like a guiding

principal it can be effectively uh

chains it can hold the game back

I'll get the feeling EXO games will be

focused on systems that can be monetized

uh labor RNG and all four daily gated

systems to push retention in the most

brain dead awful ways possible I think

we'll end up seeing a repeat of all cage

one here in the current year hurt even

further due to their reputation already

doing some fatal damage to the game's

launch we'll need some copium-powered

rose-tinted goggles to make it through

the launch of this one I fear and hey

maybe I'll be selling them as much

within ashes of Creations Alpha 2 draws

near do I think arcade 2 will be an

improvement to the original of course I

do Unreal Engine 5 alone is offering

some insane perks that are tailored

specifically for MMORPGs but it's the

core of what makes arcade special that

I'm worried about sure the housing

systems and trade are being improved

however because of the combat system

completely changing to an action-focused

one making this trailer feel all very

BDO like I feel this game will do

something similar to Guild Wars 2 where

the game reflects its predecessor in

name and law only arcade 2 will likely

feel like a completely new game rather

than a sequel to the much beloved MMORPG

people fell in love with all them years

ago I think having soft tab targeting is

probably a good idea without having

every single attack be directly locked

on through tab targeting

I I do think it's like soft tab

targeting is probably better because I

remember like I mean playing new world

for example I wish I could just tab

Target and if I could like I I don't

like for example aiming every single

Auto attack like that's not fun for me

it's [ __ ] annoying

but as usual I am just one nerd

desperate for a good MMO and my opinion

means nothing without yours in the

comments below and hey with only one

week left until the actress of creation

live stream why not come join our

Discord as we'll be ramping up some

interesting discussion going into it

this month yeah interestingly there's

very little information related to what

will be revealed but I'm sure it'll be

another banger

right oh my but knock my glorious Master

according to my readings your audience

have quit watching your videos in prose

perhaps your subject matter lady is

considered

um how do you put it in human terms

um complete dog [ __ ] this is most

concerning if you do not regain a

sizable audience using dangerous amounts

of copia my fear your channel will be

lost

I know the Channel's dying again I can

see the bloody analytics but that's

perfectly normal ashes of creation is

just in a lull whilst It prepares to
