Last night I made a bald, thin-faced character and spent the first ten minutes crouched on a dock in Auroria, clicking crates that still needed loading onto a schooner. The movement is slow enough that you actually feel the weight, which is what I liked.
What wore thin fast is that the same animation loop runs every time you open a crate or swing an axe, so twenty minutes in it starts to feel like you’re just pressing E on repeat.
I joined a small sea raid later and the cannons on my ship barely turned before the other boat was already past us. ArcheAge Chronicles seems to be the kind of thing you either commit whole evenings to or you don’t bother.
