My biggest issue is the grind time. Level 1-5 takes an hour. 5-6 takes an hour, 6-7 took 5 hours. I havent even gotten to 8 yet since it is so slow. And a ton of things unlock at 10. So the grind up to 10 should be faster than 20+ hours.
I was extremely hype.. Was fun in November when I first got in.. This second time around - server issues - I had a static group that i decided I wasnt going to commit to because theres a bunch of other good games out now... Leveling with the current iteration of players if you have no static is bad. The servers were fine... Ill come back to play Rogue, unfortunately - I wont be maining the game as I thought. Mostly because the class I want to play is not in game yet. But if I could have found leveling grps a little bit easier this time I wouldve stuck it out. All good - ill be back for the next fresh start servers. Going dark on this game for a few months - will check back in April and see if they have made any progress.
I'm a level 11 miner. I have gotten about 1500+ granite and basalt. Yet only 60 copper and zinc. Probably 50 ruby. If they expect metallurgy to be balanced with stonemasonry they need to change the spawn rates by alot.
im also a lv 11 miner and ive got metalworking to 10, you gotta figure out the spawns and set timers and create good routes mate, lets not forget taking advantage of daily maintainence node reset. the mining granite thing is mostly a myth
A good, fair review. Though, there are two issues you left out. One is early level gearing. It still is not there. There other is end-game raids dungeons. The organizational structure required for leveling nodes means there are a lot of heavily organized guilds, this means there are too many people for raiding dungeons at one time. While Intrepid would like this to create a PVP war in the dungeons. Realistically those raiding do not want to also do PVP while worrying about the huge boss fights. Honestly, the raid dungeons needs to be instanced.
1:30 - you and I had very different experiences. For a over 2 days, I wasn't able to use my horse or movement skill because if I did, the server would lose track of where I was and a back and forth rubberbanding effect would happen until I stood still for 20 or so seconds. It was horrible. The decision to increase the number of player per server was a massive mistake.
To be honest, who cares about 6k players in one zone if we will never experience situation like that in the future with much more starting points and zones? They will probably also make limits for starting zones when this game eventually launches. This is just pointless test simply because they don't have anything else to launch. This phase just shown that they literally have zero things done and they just release content that they do at current time (befalen forge as an example, it was expanded through month before phase 2 where they slowly added things to the map). I can't understand how over 2 months of phase 1 tests didn't give them enough time to atleast expand desert or expand western Riverlands (besides one dungeon). This is terrible look in the future where they need to make like 10x more of the size of Riverlands + implement some content in the oceans.
Regarding the questing versus grinding. I'd love to see more events in the game. I feel that's the best way for Ashes to push leveling. Just fix the issues with them (afk participation) and they could really pop.
I have kind of quit the test of AoC too, but I will rejoin when it works out its design problems. Right now you can PvP with no investment and no risk, or you can PvE with high investment and no reward. The way the game is shaping it seems impossible to increase the risk in PvP, so that much reward can be offered for PvP, and it seems impossible to offer enough reward/security to persuade people to build/PvE. The real question is how they are going to motivate players to play the game.
Lol lets not forget that on wave 2 launch day it was out for over 6 hours, the launch was pushed back.. and then after that for the next 3-4 hours had multiple crashes. Now after that day its been a lot smoother, and moving pretty well.. but there is a lot of bugs which obviously this is to be expected its an alpha.. Now I do love that they've been dropping patches left and right this team's SDLC is off thr charts and pretty impressive. But be honest with your viewers and don't just sweep the massive issues under the rug.
@ZybakTV you got into the game on wave 2 launch day at 10am PST? You can literally read the hundreds if not thousands of messages of people not getting in, they even did a second wipe.
When I was playing in the newbie area with pretty much no lag right as everyone entered, I was legit extremely impressed. In before Steven gaslights us next dev stream again that copper is everywhere we just need to trade for it xD Agreed on the 65-35 grind/quest XP split. They definitely pushed P2 out the door. So much stuff is missing, namely Artisan talent trees, Lvl 4 nodes/vassalship/sieges, Rogue, Desert POIs etc. That being said, i'm still happy we got what we got for Phase 2 right now, on top of the wipe. Can't wait to see new stuff being added over the months.
nodes level up in dessert and only thing that changed was mobs went from lvl 10 to lvl 20 anmd now cant be killed by the people leveling the desert nodes :P they probaly jump to 30 when it hits village lol quest imo in AOC outside of commisions should be longer task mainly for aquiring things like gear/recipes and things like that not realy for leveling, leave that for commisions Also steven made a big post saying desert gonna be major focus in january when there back i feel they didnt make the time for it due to Phase 1 fixes delayed it
Combine the questing with the mob grinding, make it so that quests require you to kill certain mobs that are tough to do solo, and you will still get the same synergy with player to player communication but a lot more direction for a new player on what to do actually. It feels so weird and demotivating knowing there are no quests or any direction to go to. Look at WoW Classic perfect example of a good implementation of this.
I'm getting real tired of being lost on what to do & when other Players are Grinding these group Mobs you ask them if you can Join only to hear they are Full & your going what can I do.
i was really expecting the new areas to be just dropped into the game but it still seems under development? new aela is still pretty empty and has zero events, plus some goals missed from p1 has me skeptical, also thinking about this pace of content release vs the scale of the world is daunting, lets keep the healthy criticism alive! and let them cook, good video
The launch experience of phase 2 was pretty bad imo. We don't know how many players they handled concurrently. They said they were shooting for 5k+ per server. Then they literally had 5-6 hours of login issues, crashes, and server disconnects. The only solution for this was telling players to run as fast as the could OUT of the new players zone...which is pretty important for any fresh players coming into the game. I'm sure it was valuable for them but I definitely don't think they should have stress tested this much on a day where so many new players are also introduced. Also, imo levels 1-4 or 5 should be some of the most polished content in the game imo in order to maximize new tester experience and its just really bad atm.
i might try to play it again soon. i had to quit on day 2 because everything was camped to hell. hopefully some of the lower level areas are cleared out soon. my personal cope for gathering resources is that we dont have any of the subterranean stuff at all, and thats where id expect to see a lot of mineral spawns
So far, the world of Ashes of Creation feels underwhelming and lacks cohesion. Many of the assets seem out of place, as if they were simply "dropped" into the environment rather than carefully integrated or designed with the world in mind. This creates a sense of artificiality, making the game world feel more like a patchwork of disconnected elements than a believable, living universe. A key issue is the inconsistency in visual storytelling. For example, ruined walls or structures often look pristine and untouched-essentially just standard, brand-new assets tilted into the ground. This lack of attention to detail breaks immersion and makes the environment feel less authentic. Additionally, the art and design don’t always convey the sense of a unified vision. At times, it feels like the game has relied on pre-made assets purchased online, rather than custom designs tailored to the world. This can make the environment feel generic, like a game level, rather than a vibrant, natural space. When we think about immersive game worlds, World of Warcraft: Classic serves as a prime example. Azeroth felt like a fully realized world, with every element crafted to fit the overarching aesthetic. Ancient dungeons appeared genuinely old and weathered, dense forests were mysterious and foreboding, and everything-from the textures to the architecture-fit seamlessly within the same visual style. For Ashes of Creation to truly shine, the world needs to feel alive and intentional. Assets should tell a story, their wear and tear reflecting the passage of time or the impact of events in the game. The design team has a great opportunity to create something extraordinary, but they need to focus on crafting a world that feels cohesive, immersive, and full of history Lets see If the Final Version in 2030 Looks better...
@MrKevlarkent well as long as it isn't mainly mob grinding I am fine. Mob grinding was advertised to be just one of a few possible xp sources. The other ones should be just as viable, if aoc decides to pivot from this vision I would be disappointed
@G.Giorgio well I'm sure you will be able to get a lot of your living done by doing story quests, commissions and side quests on release. ATM there's no story quests and very few side quests
How has nobody mentioned this? Your audio cuts out randomly. I've watched about 100 youtube episodes in the last 24 hours and this is the only one where it happens..
this is bs. there were tons of crashes, the servers crashed out overnight almost every night, 6 hours plus. acting like the riverlands is some feat when all they did was triple the server count for the riverlands. tank abilities still dont work half the time. theres bugs now u cant even get xp when killint mobs. the list goes on and on. the fact is were in alpha 2 with 4% of the game released to us and its still a giant buggy mess. Worse then it was in phase one, which was supposed to be the network test phase, which now thats what p2 is. Another reviewer wanna be streamer giving his opiniin 5 minutes after leaving the starting zone.
Yea the tank abilities just crapping out has been really annoying often making me log out and back in to get them to work, and that doesn't always fix it. Along with the monsters not giving xp or random "phantom" monsters that arent actually there popping up in the world.
Am i only going to be able to play this game as a group? I don't want to always have to be in a group. I just don't. I want to be able to log in at all hours of the day and progress in the game-Not have to spend 30min searching for groups to grind XP
I've been playing a lot solo recently due to IRL. There's absolutely things you can do solo or through quick "pick-up groups" of players nearby whatever you are doing.
I think it’s important to be specific about what we have now vs later in phase 2. I imagine Phase 2 will have significant updates they haven’t even announced yet.
If you buy now you can play 24/7 until January 6th. After that it’s going to be up 5 days a week until May where it will be 24/7. If you buy now you have access until the game fully releases a year and a half to 2 years where it will become a monthly sub
please keep in mind that the game is clearly much longer than 2 years away from release. I would wait at least until phase 3 and check if they can introduce meaningful updates (which until now hasnt happened at all)
@@georg1994 im perfectly content with the content as of right now. Combat is fun and the world looks amazing. Its the kind of game I can play for a month, take a break, and come back once more is added
@@michaellindsey7443thats fair - i enjoyed phase 1 because of the people i played with. I wouldnt say the world looks amazing tho ^^ Just the updates have been lackluster. Hope they are ramping after the christmas brake
You paid the money and signed up to test Ashes of Creation. So you know what you signed up for. You did NOT sign up to "Play" the game. Stop complaining that game-play does not live up to your expectations. The desert nodes are level 20-30. When you get to level 20, go to a desert node and start leveling it up. Watch it change.
Copper isn't even that rare it's just the people that have it are trying to sell it for a price that the people that need to buy it can't afford. Or they horde it
It's solo friendly but you'll still need to cooperate with other players. You don't need a massive guild but you will have to group up with people to tackle the harder things. There's absolutely things you can do by yourself though.
Not at all. Yes you can solo some content. However, the design of the crafting system and the dependency on crafted items in late game makes it completely necessary to be part of a guild. In addition, as a solo person be ready for someone to take away your loot and progress after they train you with mobs to get your loot.
the game will need quest learn from wow classic usually people dont want to grind only mobs from 1-60 in wow why would people do it here? i know there are mage aoe farming but thats not the norm people like quest because it give them a goal to aim for and it give them a reason to move around in the world
I think something like this would be a great leveling system instead of 95% mob grinding. 45% mob grind 10% story arch 15% quests meaningful rewards 20% dungeon 10% artisan skills Would give a nice blend of all aspects of the game with out being just solo mmo quest grind
Its so funny watching reddit do its thing, 4 days in Alpha during holidays, complaining about unfinished things that isnt the focus of this phase Like already we are in such a better place than Alpha1 but its not full release so i guess devs are bad? Screw off go play a game, Ashes is for testing and making something great together, name 1 game with an OPEN alpha where devs are communicating daily with community Ashes will be greater without these bad agents
I really hope they start communicating openly with us. they didnt loose a word about so many things like the state of lvl 4 nodes. I dont understand why they are so scared about actually telling us things.

I liked the way runescape did quests , you do a quest to unlock a thing , like being able to use a weapon or armor or to unlock this short cut ect ect
My biggest issue is the grind time. Level 1-5 takes an hour. 5-6 takes an hour, 6-7 took 5 hours. I havent even gotten to 8 yet since it is so slow. And a ton of things unlock at 10. So the grind up to 10 should be faster than 20+ hours.
You're getting yourself a real nice Tyler1-style dent going!

@GS-el8ll resource respawns are largely randomized. Nodes respawn in the same spots, but where there was copper there can now be iron.
A good, fair review.
Though, there are two issues you left out. One is early level gearing. It still is not there.
There other is end-game raids dungeons. The organizational structure required for leveling nodes means there are a lot of heavily organized guilds, this means there are too many people for raiding dungeons at one time.
While Intrepid would like this to create a PVP war in the dungeons. Realistically those raiding do not want to also do PVP while worrying about the huge boss fights.
Honestly, the raid dungeons needs to be instanced.
i just want to add that i have not started playing in phase 2 because early level gearing was not addressed at all with the release of phase 2
Balancing is the LAST thing it comes do a game. How its supposed to be any balanced if mobs and other classes aren't even done yet
1:30 - you and I had very different experiences. For a over 2 days, I wasn't able to use my horse or movement skill because if I did, the server would lose track of where I was and a back and forth rubberbanding effect would happen until I stood still for 20 or so seconds. It was horrible. The decision to increase the number of player per server was a massive mistake.
I haven’t heard of anyone else having that issue. I have had rubber banding due to connection issues but it’s maybe happened a handful of times.
When it happens to me I literally just stop moving and then immediately move again.
To be honest, who cares about 6k players in one zone if we will never experience situation like that in the future with much more starting points and zones? They will probably also make limits for starting zones when this game eventually launches. This is just pointless test simply because they don't have anything else to launch.

This is terrible look in the future where they need to make like 10x more of the size of Riverlands + implement some content in the oceans.
They could make some cool dynamic events like in gw2 maybe with some pvp elements. This was my favorite event in gw2
Bro….. you’re lying. There was massive disconnect issues. The launcher died. They had to wipe the servers 2 hours in. MASSIVE tech issues.
@@Hamsterdome I wasn’t at home right as the servers came up. Once that got straightened out there were very little serious issues.
Regarding the questing versus grinding. I'd love to see more events in the game. I feel that's the best way for Ashes to push leveling. Just fix the issues with them (afk participation) and they could really pop.
i reckon a large portion of quests should be very hard to solo and many group required basically turning them into mini open world dungeon experiences
I have kind of quit the test of AoC too, but I will rejoin when it works out its design problems. Right now you can PvP with no investment and no risk, or you can PvE with high investment and no reward.

I’m really enjoying the game even though it is disappointing in multiple ways. I really hope they can make this work and that this will be successful.
Honestly, it’s going to probably be another year before Ashes feels like the game we have been waiting for. 2026 will be 🔥
If mob grinding is a major avenue of progression I am not playing the game. I would be fine with caravan protection or other pvp activities.
you definitely wont be able to lvl 1-50 doing only quests on release

people like quest because it give them a goal to aim for and it give them a reason to move around in the world
I think something like this would be a great leveling system instead of 95% mob grinding.
45% mob grind
10% story arch
15% quests meaningful rewards
20% dungeon
10% artisan skills
Would give a nice blend of all aspects of the game with out being just solo mmo quest grind
Have you seen new drama from asmon.
I think we played deffrent games at launch.
why am ı watching a bald guy yapping about a game instead of actual gameplay background?????
@@SatisfyingHumour Didn’t have time to edit in any gameplay before I had to be away for a few days. 😅
@ seems reasonable 😂
Will we ever get news on the rogue delay?
@@JELKEK we should be getting it in late January. A few skills have already been datamined.
@ PLEASE set me towards the direction of the datamine, I’ll owe you in game!
@ ashesofcreation.wiki/Rogue a few skills are posted there. Not complete obviously.
are we seriously reviewing alpha phases now? FFS
Why not? People are curious where the game is at in development.
Its so funny watching reddit do its thing, 4 days in Alpha during holidays, complaining about unfinished things that isnt the focus of this phase
Like already we are in such a better place than Alpha1 but its not full release so i guess devs are bad? Screw off go play a game, Ashes is for testing and making something great together, name 1 game with an OPEN alpha where devs are communicating daily with community
Ashes will be greater without these bad agents
I really hope they start communicating openly with us. they didnt loose a word about so many things like the state of lvl 4 nodes.
I dont understand why they are so scared about actually telling us things.
Game looks like absolute arse.
Ya I've been trying to play with my laptop and it's not ready.😅
