The Pros and Cons of Archeage: Endgame gearing and Hasla
It is my goal to talk honestly about the flaws and strengths of Archeage, review it a bit, and talk about my experiences in it. I plan to release 5 articles on Crafting and Travel, Housing and PvP, Leveling and Classes, The Endgame Gear Grind (today’s), and the Trial System and Game Infrastructure.
Note that everything I say is a matter of opinion. The solutions I offer are merely the perspectives of a gamer with a scientific background in programming, but by no means am I a developer who knows what it would take to implement any of it. I simply believe in presenting problems with solutions, rather than just focusing on the negative.
Today’s topics are the endgame gear grind and the bane of my existence, Hasla.
