Today we will relax a bit and try to choose a computer game for an evening vacation. For example, consider a new product from the Mail company called Archeage. The system requirements of the project, its advantages and disadvantages are what interests us. So, let's try to figure out how good this toy is, as well as what it takes to launch it.
"Minimal"
The Archeage project has minimal system requirements that are not much different from the "minimum" of any modern games. Including other online. If your computer does not meet these requirements, then it’s better not to even try to run the toy at all - you will only spoil your overall impression, and even harm the game process. Nobody needs brakes, right?
Let's see what Archeage system requirements are. In order to be able to run, you will have to have a computer with a processor frequency of 2.5 GHz, and even at least dual-core. The video card should be quite powerful. So to speak, gaming. In addition, you must have a minimum of 4 GB of RAM. Needless to say, all modern online games are pretty "weighty"? Archeage requires a minimum of 20 GB of hard disk space to run. Now let's see what is needed for a better launch.
Norm
As you can see, Archeage has rather high system requirements. True, they are not very different from those that we need for a comfortable game at the "normal" or "maximum speed". With the exception of the processor, perhaps all the "requests" are pretty close to each other.
In order to play Archeage normally, you will need a fairly powerful, game processor on your computer. Its frequency should be about 4 GHz, and the number of cores - not less than 4. This will ensure the game without "brakes". RAM requires 4-6 GB (the more the better). The video card, of course, should be gaming. It is desirable to use the latest models, because the graphics in Archeage are pretty beautiful, well-developed and, as a result, demanding on computer resources. Regarding free space on the hard drive, one thing can be said: the more, the better. But at least 25 GB for the game and 8.5 GB for the distribution kit (installer). Now that we know what Archeage system requirements are, let's try to figure out with you how good the game is. Consider its advantages and disadvantages.
What good
Perhaps every program or toy has its pros and cons. So let's start with the fact that for the most part it attracts new users to play again and again. The game Archeage is a completely new word among online computer projects. The thing is that here the user has incredible opportunities, which so far are not anywhere else.
For example, everyone is able to build their own house, and then equip it. Yes, yes, Archeage allows everyone to do this. Enough to “pump” a bit, gain resources, buy a drawing and lay the foundation. After that, however, you will have to pay the rent of land, but for a real player this is not a problem.
In addition, each character can develop an entire farm near the house. Here, cattle breeding, and gathering, and gardening. Buy seeds and grow plants, breed animals and so on. All that your heart desires.
In addition, the Archeage game, the system requirements of which we reviewed above, allows the player to pump craft levels. For example, you can be a carpenter, seamstress, weaver, alchemist, cook and so on. For all this, it will be necessary to collect resources around the world - to chop trees to collect wood, collect fruits, pick flowers and all that sort of thing. Most online games are limited to the principle of "buy a pick - dig a mine - make an object." Here, the process is close to reality.
Minuses
Now let's see what is wrong with our game today. Since we have chosen the path of development at home, we can quickly go over all the minuses of this process, and only then decide whether you need to spend quite a lot of time to download and install Archeage.
The main problem of today's game is nothing but energy. It is consumed during any activities related to craft and construction. Roughly speaking, they don’t take energy from you for killing and dialogue with characters, but for digging mines, picking flowers, chopping trees (which are often needed to complete tasks) - easily.
Any processing of raw materials will deprive you of a huge amount of this indicator. Energy points (total of 2,000) are accumulated only when the character is "online". In 5 minutes you get 5 units of energy. If you estimate a little, then cutting 1 tree (for which you can get from 1 to 20 logs) will take about 20-25 energy points. To build the foundation of the house will have to collect 3,000 logs, and then process them into bundles of 100 pieces. One treatment minus 50 energy. And this is just the beginning. In general, as soon as the energy ends, it becomes impossible to play. You have to invest a lot of money for a comfortable game.
In addition, the game Archeage gives the opportunity to build only VIP-accounts. A monthly subscription costs 300 rubles. If you did not renew the service on time, then all your VIP buildings (including the house) will be mercilessly demolished. So decide for yourself whether to play this game or not.
