Joseph Bradford, the author of the material, was interested in questions about the new continent, as well as what players could expect before the end of 2022 and further. Our portal translated this interview. Enjoy reading.
Joseph Bradford, mmorpg.com: Update Great Prairies of the West. Could you talk a little about the knowledge underlying the renewal of content, especially for returning players who may want to explore the new zone? Will it only touch on Archeage, or will Unchained players also be able to explore new content?
Ham Yong Jin, producer of XL Games: The Great Prairies of the West, located east of the Hiram mountains, is the region that the Firrants consider to be their land and the house for those who lead a nomadic lifestyle.
In the center of the prairie is a mountain of an equal eye. Silently to Firran chroniclers, a mountain-this is a place where the Sun father gave them the right to live in the Great Prairia. It is also a place where the Firran hero Tahyang gathered the people in an era when the world was covered by a war against Cyrios.
They considered the Mountain of the sacred and therefore built a altar who can still be found there to give praise to his father-sun. The ruins found in the Great Prairia in the West are the remnants of the Efer forces, which once occupied this territory.
Once it was a place where the kingdom of Eferum used Firran to subordinate after the return of Teren. Now there are ruins-the base was destroyed by the windhole, which was led by Tahyang in the battle for Teren.
The blood of the fallen firranes in the battle of Teren continues to impregnate the entire great prairie in a strange phenomenon to this day, since it has connected with the mysterious energies, dormant underground.
The content mentioned above will be available for both Archeage and Archeage: Unchained. Thus, players from both games can explore new content.
mmorpg.com: What served as a source of inspiration for guardians in the upcoming guardian scramble competition in the update of The Great Prairie?
Jin: The desires and aspirations of the Firran heroes who fell during the war for Teren manifested themselves through the god of the wind in order to create the keepers of the great prairies of the West. These are perfumes that use the strength of nature and divided by a set of skills into Damager, healer and buffer.
There are 3 guards who are called:
- Buchok-with the body of the bear and the head of the owl. It applies a lot of damage, uses the ability of light.
- Snocrum-a protective healer in the form of a snake with wings. Uses ice abilities.
- Randalus-a buffer in the form of a translucent wolf. Uses the abilities of the wind.
mmorpg.com: How does this new content fit into the global PVP AA?
Jin: Guardian Scramble allows you to use various tactics to earn fractions and ultimately win. The longing altar will become the main strategic point for your guard, which allows you to quickly type fraction glasses. The seizure and protection of the altar will be the key to the successful protection of his own guard and the victory over the enemy’s guardian.
Each adventurer must select desires from hunting for monsters or gathering and transferring them to the totem in order to call the guard of his fraction. The drafted guard can be ordered to go straight to the altar of longing or evolved in a higher form, depending on the situation on the battlefield.
mmorpg.com: proceeding to the new PVP content, how do you guarantee that it will be at the same time with something attractive for players and will not distract attention from current PVP actuasants that AA is famous for?
Jin: Guardian Scramble is a complex competition of fractions that rotates around the guards in the great prairies of the West. This will give you a different experience than the one that the existing PVP-attractions offer, since it relies on the existence of guards, and not on direct battles, and allows you to play a variety of roles.
mmorpg.com: Since Kakao Games recently took control of Archeage, how did the transition go? How did the players react that the game became the property of Kakao Games, and what do you plan to do to return the players who may have left the game when Gamigo worked on MMO?
Jin: Since the game is served by Kakao Games, many players returned to Archeage. There were also many new players who first joined Archeage, which surpassed all our expectations. However, during the merger of the existing NA/EU assembly with a global assembly, unforeseen problems arose, and it was not easy to solve these problems to quickly solve. At the moment, they are resolved, and we are doing everything possible to improve the game in different ways, for example, working on updating this summer and reflecting the reviews and wishes of our players in the game.
A large-scale Back-to-Arche promotion will be held both for those who first started playing Archeage with the update of Great Prairie of the West, and for those who have not entered it for a long time. Players who have not yet postponed their Gamigo account data will also be able to enjoy updated content and an advertising action this summer. Players will receive various items that will help them develop their characters and give 10,000 equipment points. If you have not yet transferred your data or it was difficult for you to develop characters, you will have a great opportunity to enjoy Archeage again.
mmorpg.com: We know that in the future a new race will appear in Archeage. Can you give us an idea of the development of the race, as well as give players a hint that they are looking forward to?
Jin: In the future we plan to release a new race, but since Archeage is characterized by its system in which you can choose various classes with one character, we still carefully study this plan and its direction. We will inform you as soon as the exact schedule of updates is determined.
mmorpg.com: What does the future look like for Archeage and updates Archeage Unchained Beond the Great Prairie? What to expect to players at the end of this year and in 2023?
Gene: We plan to introduce a new guild PVE and high-quality equipment in the second half of the year. We are also working to ensure constant support for the growth of characters/equipment for players who are slowly growing. It is also expected to expand the set of skills and calling, so wait for our upcoming updates.
