It is lore that Steven (creative director of intrepid studios and ashes of creation) has given us over the years through livestreams/interviews for the game. The ashes wiki has this information as well "tower of carphin" , "the calamity" , "king atrax"

No this is podracing

@@Mr_Folf Exactly this. The open world corruption system will lead to fun interactions in most cases. Not a griefing fest that prevents players from actually playing the game. I think people are scared of the possibility of getting PK’d but not realizing it will be a rare occurrence to them if they are just doing casual PvE things and not part of a top guild rushing for server firsts or very specific grinding spots

have u played it?

@@99Myr They’ve massively increased studio size over the past couple of years and kinda reset themselves when they switched to UE5. So I think we’ll see development ramp pretty quick, but this will be evident over the next few months with how quickly we see content added to the alpha. I think combat is great, some mobs are buggy and have delayed behaviors which can make some encounters clunky. But I honestly really like the combat and should feel great after more polish over the alpha

@@SergeantZong I definitely am more of a PvE mmo player, but I still think that the whole reason for grinding out 1000 hours of leveling and getting better gear is to become stronger than other players. So that eventual and sometimes unavoidable PvP is why we are progressing our characters. But I do think the idea of open world PvP is scarier to some people than how it will actually be in practice with the corruption system. If people are searching for PvE content in Ashes I think they will be able to avoid unwanted PvP pretty easy. I think the subscription model they plan to have on launch will be a lower barrier to entry to at least try the game for a lot of those people who think PvP will be a deal breaker for them. (And I think they’ll realize it’s not as much of a hinderance to their gameplay as they think it is)

@@DarkMitten I think there is a lot of truth in what you're saying. I'll try the game on launch and I hope you'll be right - I in no way want to hate and be closed to change, I , like many other MMORPG gamers just want a good, fresh title

the open world pvp is the only good thing about the game

I agree

You could invest that time into tailoring and make a sweet legendary cape

No more freebies! We need to earn our loot!

I want a player stall that can repair equipment so we don't have to run to town lmao

I also ♥ my fans

@@JohnAPrescott The more I learn about the game the more fun I have too :)

I mean alpha 2 is out, but costs a bit to get in to... We don't know when Ashes will launch, but my guess is it will be in 2027

@@DarkMitten holy shite

I play on epic or cinematic on everything, except for global illumination I keep on medium because dark areas are too dark on anything higher

i was gonna say the same

@@RmTChannel Couldn’t be me

I mean it's playable and people are playing it so...

People still got to have fun. A lot of people are rushing max level because that’s what they enjoy, and you can argue that’s testing the leveling process. Sure it may not be what they’re focused on now but they already changed commission rewards so it’s still feedback they are watching for.

@@Artur-rl6rb One I would add is to be opportunistic with pop up events. They usually offer pretty good exp and worth the short travel if you get the notification :) I appreciate it!

Yes... I am well aware its an alpha. It was still my experience. I don't believe I held bugs and glitches against ashes in any capacity. One or two quests that are already in the game, but just marked differently to allow new players to know that they are more introductory quests would still have hand holding to a minimum. I pointed out that the grindiness (that is reminiscent of old school mmos) is a point that I actually enjoy and is rewarding. Where as current mmos do not. Feel free to checkout my other videos where I point out that this is an alpha and this game is not everyone, and that there will be plenty of bugs and glitches but its an alpha, and why we can look at Ashes as a game that been in development closer to 3 years as compared to 8 years that its actually been. So we can adjust our expectations...

This was a great video sharing your experience. It's in alpha testing that we paid for and spend our valuable time on with hopes of enjoying what the game has to present at this stage. Ashes is not paying us to test their game, so the incentive IS TO ENJOY PLAYING IT. "Doesn't hold your hand" isn't what I would say to describe how much of a cluster*$% the starting quests are. I relate to what you were saying about lionhold, the first impression wasn't a good one for me either-- even as an OG MMO player.

I am slowly learning more about developer terms :) I assumed that those were more networking issues and performance issues are more related the game not running well physically/visually/crashing due to poor optimization related to pc hardware.

@@plannindorf my biggest issue is that I have to wait 4 days to play again… 😊

@@barrywhite1770 I should’ve added this, but the “Set To Motion” quest reward was a necklace with no stats. It’s just an item. But I found a scholar npc randomly close to carphin and to start that quest you need that necklace from the other quest. I thought that was really cool and I wonder how many other quest chains there are that we need to discover.

This is my biggest problem with the game. We should not be paying to test this game. And if we really have to to deter people who don't want to provide feedback and trolls. We should be getting shit for this. Every dollar of the 120 should be received in either in-game currency, uniqe skins for items or game time after the game goes live. So for 120 alpha tester status I should be playing for free once the game launches for 8 months. I am considering getting the 100 dollar phase 3 key but the game has to be stable like an almost fully developed product.

@@HalIOfFamer I know it’s a steep price to pay just to test the game and there’s fomo about it, but Steven has pushed that this is a true alpha and it is a testing environment and there’s no visual nda so the whole world can see the game in its current state. So I see no issue with Steven choosing to operate in this way with his game. Were given all the available information so it doesn’t feel scummy to me. If people want to pay that price then so be it imo

@@HalIOfFamer this is not a game. This is a new business model called. GDaaS. Game Development as a Service. It's like Star Citizen. Why stop the crowdfunding when people are so desperate for a new MMO?

I have many biggest fans

🥲

@@HunterOfKokoto2 I appreciate it :)

@@Guknowit I think this will be the case for some of the best legendary stuff. Like raidboss equipment to prevent an overproduction in them

If it proves to be dumb and players provide that feedback in testing I think that is something they would be okay in changing

@@DarkMitten The materials are already going to be hard enough to get so having a limit on how many times a player can make that thing is pretty game breaking imo. I think most of us that follow this game like the raw challenge that AOC proposes, but unnecessary mechanics like this can kill the QoL. I love grind, but I refuse to grind for repeats of a recipe card. It's just baffling, it doesn't make sense in any universe lol. Outside of that, great video, I'm glad you pointed that out because I didn't know that.

@@Guknowit I appreciate it :)

i have a solution for you that is simple. dont be a crafter. just spent the thousands of gold to obtain the item. problem solved.
