The sandbox MMO ArcheAge will receive some fresh features with the next patch: including a success system and a comparable gear score.
The sandbox MMO ArcheAge will introduce some new features with the next patch 1.7a, moving into the realm of “I am more successful than you”. The patch is expected at the end of April or early May.
Many other games feature “achievements” for certain accomplishments. This will now also be present in ArcheAge. They plan to start with 200, and right from the beginning, achievements will also be counted and credited retroactively. Achievements include building a larger house, defeating challenging opponents, or simple exploration.
There are rewards as well: such as costumes or special gliders.
Gear score is now also coming to ArcheAge
There are no rewards for those at the top of the “gear score”. The value serves, as in other games, primarily for one’s own ego and better comparability. You can see the value of other players, but not how it is composed exactly. The value is calculated based on the quality of the gear worn. There are no additional rewards tied to achieving a high gear score. However, there will be a leaderboard.
