*EDIT: I just want to say I greatly appreciate the overwhelming ammount of support and positivity. Last time I tried to express my feelings openly (less than 2 months ago) the comments were filled with 99% negativity which kinda made me feel like shit. I'm happy to see that you guys still support me and my passion for content creation. Thank you.* Making videos for Ashes of Creation has been a life changing experience for me, it's allowed me to realise that making entertaining videos is something that truely brings me joy. Sadly, the format of "entertaining" and "Ashes of Creation" do not seem to mix anymore, no matter how hard I try and with the direction the tests seem to be going it's going to be harder and harder for me to continue trying to make videos that genuinely bring people joy like I did in 2022. The people who still follow and lead the game do not seem to want genuine critique or entertainment, they just want overwhelming positivity. It's been 2 years since I felt like i was proud of a video and with the alpha actually out for all to see, it's become impossible for me to continue trying to make this game seem exciting, however, there are plenty of other content creators who cover the news and updates for you. I no longer want to do this, I want to get back to following my dream of making people laugh with my creative expression. I wish Intrepid the best with their development and I hope Ashes of Creation becomes the MMORPG it was advertised as. Feel free to follow the streams over at Twitch.tv/narciverse and I hope you all look forward to the returning to the old format where we can make some genuinely entertaining videos about games that actually exist.
Does this mean you'll start doing those skits again? You always seemed to have fun with making them. Plus, it was why I subbed to you in the first place and I, and I'm sure many others, have missed them. Maybe with the money you've now got from Twitch you can up the production quality if that's something you were unhappy with. While I have had you mainly as my source of Ashes of Creation news and will be sad to not have it anymore I'll try to see whatever direction you decide to take your videos and other stuff. Thanks for everything you've done. I know it's just entertainment but it's been fun.
@@brainstormsurge154 100% yes, the skits are coming back in full force and infact, we have already begun the scripting and storyboarding process for the first upcoming video :) i am looking forward to getting into them again. It's less about "money" and more about "i wish they reached more people" Hopefully though, in 2025, we'll reach an audience who actually enjoys and wants them :D Thank you for your support over the years
I've certainly missed your skits, but I will also miss your criticism of the game as well. I hope you can find a way to do both. But at the end of the day, you've got to do you. :)
thats not how the desert looks like at all, you went to the edge of the map ( out of bounds) and showed a placeholder where they would be expanding the desert further , but you didn't show the actual completed parts of it which looks nearly the same as they have shown it in the devlogs. fun fact the specific area shown in this video already has a town in its place so he is also showing an old footage
re-watch this part 5:45 desert was supposed to get "love" no? And the love they added is sand. "I hate sand". "fun fact the specific area shown in this video already has a town in its place so he is also showing an old footage" - but was it present on 20th? Or after people displayed their discontent at the current state of it? "but you didn't show the actual completed parts of it which looks nearly the same as they have shown it in the devlogs." - again was it present on the 20th or after they got some backlash? And if it's "looks nearly the same as they have shown it in the devlogs" then maybe it's actually the same and they just slapped it there as it was"? Maybe with slight changes and called it "active development". Let me explain what they did. They promised update of the desert on 20th December. Couldn't make it, so they just generated and some parts got assets that already exist and rotated them a bit. The rest is just a desert. They hoped nobody would be vocal and just high on copium, but since some people noticed they had to add assets that are not 100% done and "fill" the desert to some extent with random stuff and people gobble it up like it's candy.
@@maayu8108 na son, sounds like the game is in alpha and narc misrepresented it. he is to emotionally vested and he was upset that it didn't have everything Steven promised. Steven always said the game is still being worked on and everything that did have assets looked exactly as Steven has showed and said. i think arc just needs to step out of his head and just chill.
The baldy minion is here! The claim was the desert was suppose to be expanded a lot more, and it wasn't. that's the point. Narc could have walked around longer than the dev showing how it wasn't, and maybe he should have. Just like the dev will only show the positives and its their right, just like people can only show the negatives if they want.
@@maayu8108 You’re wrong and let me explain why. Desert was partially in P1. On December 20th they added some Nodes and other things and expanded the area a bit. Narc was disingenuous and went to the outer edge of the Desert to look at the current untextured area and used that as his argument for this video
For anyone interested, Steven made a response video to Asmon showcasing the part of the desert that's more complete (the part Narc conveniently didn't show or even mention exists)
they flew over a generic town node there is no expansion. An expansion means an interactive zone with possible dungeons quests and interactive objects Where did you see those? Land sculpting is maybe 20% of the work and even that isnt done... So what was he misleading you about? Tell me 1 thing that is complete about the desert?
Its also hilarious how you’re being a hypocrite and saying Steven is banning people for “criticism” while you yourself banned a ton of your core discord members for calling you out on your genuine bullshit(like making an alt discord account named Chloe and pretending to be a girl and then banning one of your members when they figured out it was your alt)
@@alreawon1212 What do you mean "everything Steven said"? He didnt say it, he showed it, how can you debunk something that is clearly visible. Narc claimed this wasnt in the game and they just got empty sand... It is in the game tho. So it was clear misinformation damaging the games reputation because he is angry about whatever else
@@becker1610 Everything that was in their video "Alpha 2 Desert Biome Preview" uploaded 30 July 2022 IS NOT in the game. Only Scorpions and Beetle mobs from that video are in the game. They put thousands of these in random locations.
@@becker1610 Stephen ability to manipulate people is crazy because he has been doing it his whole life. He made millions off selling false products. Do you know his past?
If you lie/misrepresent once, your entire video will be put into question, even if it has good points. Your desert argument was a complete fabrication.Everyone that watched this video in isolation got the wrong impression. This is not the game fault. It is your fault.
Of course, because most of you lack the ability to understand a nuanced discussion. Only focusing in on the "misrepresentations" rather than taking each point into consideration. It takes way less intellectual capacity to understand that there's quite a bit of good criticism in this video.
@@aje117 What do you even mean with your comment ? if someone bullshit you but then make a good points about some other topic everything it's fine and you trust them ? He should be called for his way of cherry picking to push a false view of the game. It's understandable for ppl to put his other arguments into questions since he showed that he is willing to use missleading footage. it doesn't ask for a lot of '' intellectual capacity'' to understand that missleading ppl create misstrust.
11:09 the claim in response on the desert was that you intentionally went out into a placeholder section to misrepresent the biome. At this time stamp you pan the camera, and briefly show in the distance there is an asset filled portion of map out there. Does this give away your game here a bit?
also it is convenient the mini map that would show if he is at the edge of the map is not shown in his clips. If this is true wouldn't you want to be like "here right here there is a huge void of content with no explanation"
@@Berndr I wish Narc was better at communicating his points If he just said "this video 2 years ago was a preview of what WILL be in Alpha 2 as the title says and it's basically a trailer to sell you Alpha Keys ($250), and they didn't present anything remotely close to this despite being 2 Years ago. They also didn't communicate how this will be implemented periodically throughout Alpha 2 or not at all." Then I think a lot more people would find him agreeable. But instead he uses exaggerated language like "expansion never happened" or "desert doesn't exist" or "everything is a lie" like come on man, he was clearly emotional when making the video. He should have took a break or stopped feeding into his own communities outcry
@@sultan788and that's what is also misleading using words like expansion in a game that is being still in early production and doe snot even have 10 % of map yet... the wording hew should use is they promise to finish more of the map , biomes and so on , and in reality they did just not the area Narc refers to they did the Noth part of the map ... Does Narc seriously thinks that people buying these keys now will search for some concept showcase from 2 years ago to make their decision ... lol tbh to me at least the whole thing seems like he fell out with Steven and this is him being petty and vengeful .. .
Pinned comment complaining that your comments are almost entirely negative, but gee I wonder why? Look at your own content, it's just as overwhelmingly negative. Then imagine the surprise when someone popular calls out your dishonesty and people come by to check it out and make you very glad the Dislike button no longer shows a number.
Complains and states there is poor and misleading communication comming from AoC.... proceeds to completely ignore the fleshed out desert area that was released and instead goes to the work in progress area of the desert thats completely blank. Dude stfu and grow up stop trying to farm hate and spread misinformation, you're literally doing the thing you're accusing AoC of doing.
Bro I bought a pack during their kickstarter for $500 saying I would have access to a persistent alpha and yet we have no persistent alpha and not only that but they are selling alpha access for cheaper. Get that brown stuff off of your nose.
@@user-yk6hv6hj3p Actually I didn’t because I’ve lost interest in the project. But I sure am glad there will be a persistent alpha 8 years later. Can’t wait till 2050 when I can play.
if you go to the desert now you'll see that there is plenty of stuff there. pretty sure he's just using old footage or footage of the edge of the map for some rage bait
@@omensoffate Ofc its cope I follow this game since day one and originally it wanted to be an other battle royale riding the hype, thats how old it is by now. It was a failure from the beginning and people are just coping. People are putting trust and money in projects with no research in this decade just blows my mind. This wouldn't even going to release on the state what they promised by the time we will play GTA 10. Its just a get rich scheme project from a bunch of random people who can create a pile of shit "game" like this and some fake videos about how great is it which can bait people to support them financially and retire early with no passion to create something good.

@@jerbaancap5244 I'm curious, when you see that the game is completely functional (but not complete) atm the moment, live, to thousands of customers 24/7 do you not stop for a second to think maybe you're completely missing the mark?
Worse, his camera is facing off the edge of the map to an area that isn't playable. Narc's a liar and a fraud. Good riddance. Although I feel really bad for the next community he sets his toxic followers on.
This is a great example of how we should live life. DO NOT listen to a video, article, uncle, or professor and take it as truth. YOU MUST WATCH THE SOURCE MATERIAL AND DECIDE FOR YOURSELF. Spread the word.

@@MartinaBabic-es6bz As mentioned by a lot of people, this phase goes for 5 months, content will be implemented throughout those 5 months, just because it wasn't in the game immediately when this new phase started, it doesn't mean it's not getting added. Until this ends in 5 months, then we can reassess and see what content was or wasn't added. It's like making a bowl of cereal, you don't just put your cereal in the bowl and expect the milk to show up on it's own.. You have to add it still before it's complete, why is this any different?
Can you elaborate on how you throw things around like "testers are not dropping like flies" and "this is how everyone in the community feels"-statement without presenting statistics?

You got ousted when talking with Asmon today on twitch. Then followed up with Asmon bringing Steven on to prove your video here wrong, false, inflammatory, and slanderous with possible legal issues on your side.
Literally the most disingenuous video about Ashes I've seen. I get you were a huge follower, but this seems petty. If anything, I'll go and support Ashes out of spite of this video.
Stick to trolling, you are bad at lying. You got mad because Steven called you out personally and showed how childish you are. Big L for you, I don't see you coming back from this one.
Maybe you didn't intend to, but you have to admit that showing the very edge of the map and saying the devs lied when right behind you is an area full of stuff makes it seem like you were making it look worse on purpose. And saying you assumed people watched your last video isn't a fair argument since this video has way more views, so that is obviously not true at all. I hope you reflect on all this negativity your spreading into the community.
And you wonder why you get 99% negativity in your comments. Stop feeding people misleading information and blatant flat lies and you might not get negativity. You get back what you put out.
Its crazy how disingenuous this video actually is... Dont get me wrong, The testing hasnt gone as well as everybody would like. But you really are just feeding on peoples fears and negativities with this video. Its very misleading and neglects to acknowledge how much of a rollercoaster development and testing is. Things like this are why no developer is ever remotely open with the testing and development
probably something better than ashes. it's funny you guys are going to play ashes. and it's literally nothing. but do whatever you have to do to feel good about your life.
Dude you can't be real... what are you on about??? he has a vod on his twitch channel of literally walking around on this desert and there's nothing there LMAO trees without hit boxes no content just mobs and random generated UE5 desert anyone can create within 5 min Actually do your research first and don't slander him because you want to defend scammers that charge 250$ for THAT... so pathetic... 8 years of development and that's it???

@User54366 That is not completely true; back then we didn't have the best tool to find resources, so whenever a game came out, we just played it! and we had no choice but to play and actually experience it, but now we have RUclips, Discord, Reddit, and Steam reviews, and before we can even play it or give the game a chance, it's already dead by the community.
Main takeaway is this guys coverage (and shilling) has been a complete waste of time. Openly pushed it based on faith for a year+ (constant “copium” mentions) and declares it unplayable after some slight offense. Why would I ever watch anything you put out again? Food for thought to be a better content creator.
parts of his video are complete bullshit and using early development footage saying it's what the game is today ruclips.net/user/liveV_7kEgZ9MRc?si=tXtHpTpCpYE5JKcI&t=3023 pirate softwares stream of the desert
So based off Asmongold interviews today with Steve (game dev) and Thor (PirateSoftware), it's clear that you lied in your video... the question is why? Hope the clicks were worth your incoming slander lawsuit. RIPBOZO
He lied about one aspect, but not the 1000 other things. If you think this game is ever actually releasing, you are nuts. If it ever does, its going to end up dead within 2 months. Thats very obvious at this point.
Oh look another Asmon watcher who can’t think for themselves. Just like when Asmon did the D4 $80 horse pack. Everyone including Asmon screamed $80 mount what is blizzard thinking? Even though it gave you $70 worth of their currency plus the mount
@@TheNichq woah! Tell me my future too while you're at it! Do you know the winning lotto numbers? You must be a magician. Right now I'm happy to be a part of the alpha testing phase, giving critical feedback to the game devs.
Been following you for a while and respected your content, and totally believed everything in this video when I first saw it. But after watching actual gameplay and other creators, it's very clear you were being incredibly disingenuous during this whole video. Super disappointing man. Unsubbing and good luck.
He basically lied to his whole community to switch the channel for making other content while burning all the bridges to AoC by insulting Steven and all his team
So why you lying, Narc? Why are you so mad about Alpha 2, when it is playable? I saw it when Asmongold was talking to Steven and PirateSoftware. Why are you so "views" obsessed?
Funny how if you rotate your camera a little more, an entirely developed area with a city will be displayed on the screen. Might be good idea not to mislead the people.
@@eh298 13 streaming, but how many WATCHING? 18200 viewer... Don't leave out information, you doing EXACTLY the same as Narc, you only say things what makes your view favorable for you. Cherry picking information is looked down by most of the intelligent people.
Im sorry but maybe its a good thing for you to step away from pouring and spilling negativity everywhere. I have been alpha testing the game since it was made available and the last straw for me was the "desert gameplay" you are showing when anyone who does even a small bit of research can see that the desert biome is pretty much what steven showed in 2022 and the area you showed was obviously an unfinished out of bounds area of the map from before the desert patch. I honestly think that you are backing off of ashes content to keep from being labeled as a shill and it becoming easier everyday for people to see that you are spreading mis-information. I truly hope that you take a look at yourself and decide to change your behavior to that of a more positive outlook and join the rest of us in what is shaping and already feels like what will be a great game. You complain about price point in some of your videos but 110$ for almost 2 more years of testing and beta access that even if they wipe, you can play the test with another class (just like an alt), 15$ in cosmetics and a month of play time for a game without a box price and only a monthly subscripton. If selling more keys allows them to avoid having a box price then who cares how many times they sell keys . . . if the keys are selling then obviously people are interested. I play with 100s of people in my discord who are loving being part of this games development and we paid even more than the 110$ and we already feel we will get more than our money's worth by the time the game launches. So please do some soul searching and come back in a more positive light if you are going to come back . . . . unless you find another game to throw shade on and then everyone will see that this channel is just someone looking to toss mud upcoming titles . . . . i hope for the former but i guess we will see what you choose with your future videos. . . Best of luck to you and yours.
The comments here are astonishing. As someone who played phase 1 and the start of phase 2 (and has now quit), I agree with all the points Narc made INCLUDING the southern part of the desert biome, which looks absolutely baron. I went there with a group, we ran around nothingness for 1 hour looking for three star mobs to farm and then left. A lot of paid actors in the comments here that want to praise AoC.
sorry to say, but thats just a classical burn out on a game.. you went from unreasonable love to equally unreasonable hate. seen this a million time, nothing special. just sad and unreflected. maybe you will realise in a few years. until then, get well soon
Just watched Asmongold and Stephen’s videos breaking this down. I’m amazed at how deceptive and hypocritical you were in this video. I’m unsubscribing and won’t be returning. Shame on you.
is it? they flew over a generic town node there is no expansion. An expansion means an interactive zone with possible dungeons quests and interactive objects Where did you see those? Land sculpting is maybe 20% of the work and even that isnt done... So what was he misleading you about? Tell me 1 thing that is complete about the desert?
@@MartinaBabic-es6bz it’s an alpha. No part of any zone is supposed to be fully complete until the game actually releases. The team was on vacation because of the holidays when phase 2 started. Lots has been added in the week since then cuz, you know, ITS AN ALPHA IN ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT. Go watch the latest interviews Asmongold did if you want all of the current relevant info. Also, keep in mind, you’re not entitled to any kind of complete game or expansion experience, or access to any specific part of their world just because you paid for the alpha. You’re there to help them test whatever systems and whatever areas they need help with right now. That is all. If you can’t keep that criteria in mind when you log in to the alpha, then use their refund policy and stop participating.
This is disingenuous af. You literally went to the edge of what they've worked on to pretend they didn't have the desert area from their showcases. People shouldn't trust YOUR reviews or videos.
I'm in no way bias for ashes, i have my own grievances with certain things inside the game but, this video was invalid information and a slightly silly (to avoid calling it stupid) take. *This game is extremely loved by the developers, it's constantly receiving updates and fixes, steady growth week after week. *You lied a HUGE LIE, you said your community and everyone else majority thinks like you, that's a lie, even your own community is mad at you for the hate you have been dropping lately. *Steven isn't banning anyone for not liking the current state of the game, your community is breaking rules by insulting and spreading hate, there's 7 actively open forums talking sht about the game none of them are or were ever banned, you broke the rules that's why you got banned, you are being silly for spreading misinformation once again. *Desert was fixed and expanded in 1 week, if you're going to make a video talking about it, show the growth not the day 1 take on an alpha stage, you showed the edge boundry and not the actual living desert, come on dude, you know you're just being silly again. Overall your hate is coming from the fact that you asked steven to be a content creator partner for ashes, and they told you that your content doesn't align with their ideals, when you complained that you dedicate your time just for ashes they said "take a break" and you took that as an insult, people on RUclips might be ignorant to what you do and who you are, but actual ashes players EVEN YOUR OWN community knows since you got rejected by intrepid, that's when you started making these hate videos. And last but not least, the price, it takes a fortune to have the servers up all the time, open google and make a simulation how much it will take to maintain the servers online for alpha, beta, testing and then game release and come back to me saying 100$ is alot because it isnt, what you payed is fair and tbh LOW to what it will take till the game gets released, lets all be educated on stuff like this before we complain about the money you spent (of your own free will too btw.) To anyone who managed to read all of that, sorry it was long, ashes is in a wonderful stage, highly positive feedback replies, week after week fixes and updates, don't listen to this creator because he's just mad that steven doesn't want to be his "buddy" He spent the last 4 years making videos with false and outdated wiki information, and now hes surprised intrepid doesnt want to make him partner, it's just silly. I look forward to seing you come back, and be kinder to yourself and the community, and most important not tell lies that can hurt an ongoing project, i understand that you need content to make a living, and despise what i said i wish you all the best.
@JoriDiculous News at 10: a game you have access to for 3/4years that needs to pay server fees for your ass to have access to the server, 100$ pretty much free, should be 100 a year, generous developers should recive a reward, said before and ill say it again, its your money, do what you want with it, im a programmer, not even close to a dev but i know how it works, 100$ a person is not close to enough to maintain servers opened, thats why games have subs, or item shops for them to get money, alpha doesnt have that, so they cant sustain server fees without alpha keys, plz ppppplzzzz google how the world works, i beg you.
this is the dumbest rage bait i have ever seen, this is an attempt of becoming relevant because you know you dont have a foothold in the space you are so desperately trying to grow in.
Funny thing is i thought ashes was a scam this whole time, so initially I believed your lies. Now i actually have some respect for ashes, and I know that you're a liar and a scammer. I don't think ashes is a game for me, but it might end up looking better in a few years.
Its alpha. You dont develop yet make wild claims about technology. This is some serious cope man. You dont even need a horse in the game to realize you need to step back. This isnt a normal way to think... You think there arnt about 10 builds at any given time? You havent worked in large scale development..... cause this is fact.
I love how the comment section just skipping right over where they keep drip feeding alpha phases for $100's of dollars over and over again. I remember backing this game way back in like 2012-2015 here we are not even in a beta nor close to one. Not sure what yall are missing.
Except you are an uninformed content creator. You aren't on the development team. You have just as much information as everyone else on the consumer-side of the game does. Maybe take some time out and reflect on your mental health and life priorities. Come back later as the game develops.
when i came on this channels a few years back Narc overglorified AoC and at the same time spread hate against other titles, called Pantheon a scam and so on.. and tbh you can see that Narc has also hate against himself with all the coke and pizza.,. so this channel was a big turn off ... and now Pantheon is in Alpha and Narcs AoC dream comes to crumble .. lol, Narc is sucha laughable sad troll
You seem to be mad at the developers because you chose to over-invest your time and energy into following the progress of their game. To be honest, this is just a sign that you're not mature. This game doesn't appear to be a scam, it's probably just not a good game and probably never will be. Many games are not very good, but that doesn't make them scams. If I was you, I would come to terms with making rational vs. emotional choices and learn not to be sold on items that aren't ready for market.
This is the most reasonable response. It is an inexperienced team with big concepts. Idk why people think those who have never worked on an mmo could have the slightest idea of making a good mmo. At the end of the day, the devs and community overhyped a sh*tty game. That's all.
I am so incredibly disappointed in this video..Making a video on a crashout that is seemingly fueled by the majority of your fanbase is such a shame Narc. This was in poor taste, and I hope you eventually see that after taking a step back.
@@snugglebadger3727 He did respond, Asmon interviewed him. But all his points were debunked by Steven, and I'd rather believe the dude who funded the project and can clearly show what's currently in the game, than a dude who ragebaited everyone by showing the edge of a map and calling an alpha a scam.
This vid is full of it: cherry picking, being ingenuine, and at best misrepresenting how a game is developed. I know AAA games have altered the perception of what an alpha means, but let me make it simple. Alpha = rough Beta = needs polish (post beta) Early Access = final tweeks
You can be mad at the game, or even upset it's not meeting expectations, especially for an Alpha. but you're blatantly being disingenuous when it comes to the desert, and how it looks now in it's current iteration. But it's the internet, and of course lying to make that $$$ is what someone who lacks actual self-respect would do.
Narc, this is an honest comment. You don’t get a ton of subscribers even though you have had huge RUclipsrs review your videos and give you attention. You can’t grow as a creator, because you do stuff like this. You are so disingenuous and in your own head about things, create a negativity spiral in which you refuse to hear anyone else. Nobody likes that kind of negativity. It’s not productive and it’s toxic to be around. There are people who can be negative but are genuine and productive with their criticisms and are fully fair with their assessments. You are not that. You’re always pessimistic and nihilistic. You’re leaving AOC because people don’t conform to your world view, not because the devs did anything wrong. You are unforgiving and toxic.
newsflash narc not everyone of your subscribers is going to watch every single video that you post so no I haven't seen the last desert video and in that regard this video to me ended up being nothing but rage bait. The development looks fine. You've been playing the game for ages do you even remember that the content is supposed to come as the nodes develop?? I get the purpose of this video still is just you moving on which is fine, and great, but sheeeeeeesh did you overreact emotionally.
Narc as soon as I watched your video, I knew you were not telling the truth because I have been living in the desert since Alpha 2 phase 2 was released. I am glad Steven went on Asmondgold stream to talk about this and show what the area looks like. Here is a tip when doing a hate content video of a game make sure you dont lie that can be easily verifiable.
@@malborboss I have played since Alpha 1, so yes I have seen every step of the progression. Second, Alpha 2 phase 2 brought in a lot of new content despite the entire office being on Christmas break. Desert nodes, dwarf race, a new dungeon, start of freehold system, upgrades to town nodes. Plus the Devs never said that on day 1 of Alpha 2 phase 2 that everything will be in they said over the course of the phase they will be adding those things as they come online. So I expect them to continue to patch and for steady improvements to be made. If anyone thought what was in the showcase was what was finished just isn't bright.
@@malborboss They expanded the nodes? You think expansion like the way Burning Crusade was an expansion for wow but that's not what was meant. You don't understand the language being used clearly. I've been in Alpha 2 since October and I've been having a great time.
I appreciate this video getting some traction and putting the game on my radar. After watching this and then the follow up videos from creators and the team itself, I decided to hop in and try the alpha myself. Having a great time. Thanks!
so you lied, yes straight up lied about the desert area because that isnt what it looks like at all. its ok to be mad and/or disappointed in the game for whatever reason but being INTENTIONALLY dishonest about it is not only pathetic and disgusting, but it kills any and all credibility on your opinion of the game.
It's VERY clear this child has no idea what an Alpha is, or anything to do with technology, appdev, networking, etc. Weirdo wanted a complete game in an Alpha, and this is frankly sad and pathetic. He put in HOURS, made money, etc.... and only paid ... $250? Are you freaking kidding me? I can't even take my girlfriend out to dinner for less than $200 these days! Please - I'd pay 10x what I have to play this game for as many hours as I have.
I have never heard of you but I'm just gonna hit you with this. Cherry picking arguments to try and make your point when you know you don't have one is the most Brainrot generation move you could pull. Create outrage because you need the attention since your youtube channel is stagnate.
Content creators have ruined games / gaming altogether. I've watched the dev updates every month and Steven constantly tells people not to buy in and to wait and to not overhype the game. He also constantly says it's an alpha and there will be bugs and everything you see is a work in progress. Then all these content creators go and do is create clickbait hype videos and then piss and moan when the Alpha they were told not to buy into that will contain a lot of WIP and bugs is not a complete, playable game.
@Narc I love you man. Ive watched all your videos and the official Ashes ones. But I simply dont agree with your guilt. I purchased my 250 dollar pack about a year ago KNOWING what I was buying into. I knew those videos were concepts of mechanics that would be there. I KNEW those would not be available until they were near their completion. I understand you feel robbed. But anyone who spent the money either does know or should know, they did it of their own free will. It was not mismarketed.
@@pm98115 This game literally has all kinds of animal mounts, of course we are here; are you surprised? In either case though, it's becoming hard to avoid us online. But most of us are pretty cool!
@@ProfessionalTrafficplayer No, he is deliberately showing out-of-bounds and unfinished footage from months ago. These are not the current versions of the game.
*EDIT: I just want to say I greatly appreciate the overwhelming ammount of support and positivity. Last time I tried to express my feelings openly (less than 2 months ago) the comments were filled with 99% negativity which kinda made me feel like shit. I'm happy to see that you guys still support me and my passion for content creation. Thank you.*
Making videos for Ashes of Creation has been a life changing experience for me, it's allowed me to realise that making entertaining videos is something that truely brings me joy.
Sadly, the format of "entertaining" and "Ashes of Creation" do not seem to mix anymore, no matter how hard I try and with the direction the tests seem to be going it's going to be harder and harder for me to continue trying to make videos that genuinely bring people joy like I did in 2022.
The people who still follow and lead the game do not seem to want genuine critique or entertainment, they just want overwhelming positivity.
It's been 2 years since I felt like i was proud of a video and with the alpha actually out for all to see, it's become impossible for me to continue trying to make this game seem exciting, however, there are plenty of other content creators who cover the news and updates for you. I no longer want to do this, I want to get back to following my dream of making people laugh with my creative expression.
I wish Intrepid the best with their development and I hope Ashes of Creation becomes the MMORPG it was advertised as.
Feel free to follow the streams over at Twitch.tv/narciverse and I hope you all look forward to the returning to the old format where we can make some genuinely entertaining videos about games that actually exist.
Does this mean you'll start doing those skits again? You always seemed to have fun with making them. Plus, it was why I subbed to you in the first place and I, and I'm sure many others, have missed them.
Maybe with the money you've now got from Twitch you can up the production quality if that's something you were unhappy with.
While I have had you mainly as my source of Ashes of Creation news and will be sad to not have it anymore I'll try to see whatever direction you decide to take your videos and other stuff.
Thanks for everything you've done. I know it's just entertainment but it's been fun.
@@brainstormsurge154 100% yes, the skits are coming back in full force and infact, we have already begun the scripting and storyboarding process for the first upcoming video :) i am looking forward to getting into them again. It's less about "money" and more about "i wish they reached more people"
Hopefully though, in 2025, we'll reach an audience who actually enjoys and wants them :D Thank you for your support over the years
Skits ate back yay! Thnx ashes 😂
Happy new year 🎉🎉🎉!
I've certainly missed your skits, but I will also miss your criticism of the game as well. I hope you can find a way to do both. But at the end of the day, you've got to do you. :)

thats not how the desert looks like at all, you went to the edge of the map ( out of bounds) and showed a placeholder where they would be expanding the desert further , but you didn't show the actual completed parts of it which looks nearly the same as they have shown it in the devlogs.
fun fact the specific area shown in this video already has a town in its place so he is also showing an old footage
re-watch this part 5:45
desert was supposed to get "love" no? And the love they added is sand. "I hate sand".
"fun fact the specific area shown in this video already has a town in its place so he is also showing an old footage" - but was it present on 20th? Or after people displayed their discontent at the current state of it?
"but you didn't show the actual completed parts of it which looks nearly the same as they have shown it in the devlogs." - again was it present on the 20th or after they got some backlash? And if it's "looks nearly the same as they have shown it in the devlogs" then maybe it's actually the same and they just slapped it there as it was"? Maybe with slight changes and called it "active development".
Let me explain what they did. They promised update of the desert on 20th December. Couldn't make it, so they just generated and some parts got assets that already exist and rotated them a bit. The rest is just a desert. They hoped nobody would be vocal and just high on copium, but since some people noticed they had to add assets that are not 100% done and "fill" the desert to some extent with random stuff and people gobble it up like it's candy.
@@maayu8108
na son, sounds like the game is in alpha and narc misrepresented it. he is to emotionally vested and he was upset that it didn't have everything Steven promised. Steven always said the game is still being worked on and everything that did have assets looked exactly as Steven has showed and said. i think arc just needs to step out of his head and just chill.
The baldy minion is here! The claim was the desert was suppose to be expanded a lot more, and it wasn't. that's the point. Narc could have walked around longer than the dev showing how it wasn't, and maybe he should have. Just like the dev will only show the positives and its their right, just like people can only show the negatives if they want.
@@nawab256 9 years dev time and still in alpha? see you in 2050.
@@maayu8108 You’re wrong and let me explain why.
Desert was partially in P1. On December 20th they added some Nodes and other things and expanded the area a bit. Narc was disingenuous and went to the outer edge of the Desert to look at the current untextured area and used that as his argument for this video
It's dishonest to go to the edge of the desert and claim all the assets behind you aren't real
I havent been yet to the desert, and was starting to get worried for a second. Is there actually more content there then this dude presents?
I will admit that, that's very dirty because Steven is showing a ton of stuff in the desert zone.
@@arjunaleri2569 Yes there's a ton more stuff in the desert then a literal sandbox
For anyone interested, Steven made a response video to Asmon showcasing the part of the desert that's more complete (the part Narc conveniently didn't show or even mention exists)
makes for better drama farming. super bad faith video

Chef’s kiss comment.
Of course, because most of you lack the ability to understand a nuanced discussion. Only focusing in on the "misrepresentations" rather than taking each point into consideration. It takes way less intellectual capacity to understand that there's quite a bit of good criticism in this video.
1000%
@@aje117 What do you even mean with your comment ? if someone bullshit you but then make a good points about some other topic everything it's fine and you trust them ?
He should be called for his way of cherry picking to push a false view of the game. It's understandable for ppl to put his other arguments into questions since he showed that he is willing to use missleading footage.
it doesn't ask for a lot of '' intellectual capacity'' to understand that missleading ppl create misstrust.
11:09 the claim in response on the desert was that you intentionally went out into a placeholder section to misrepresent the biome. At this time stamp you pan the camera, and briefly show in the distance there is an asset filled portion of map out there. Does this give away your game here a bit?
also it is convenient the mini map that would show if he is at the edge of the map is not shown in his clips. If this is true wouldn't you want to be like "here right here there is a huge void of content with no explanation"
Phase 2 doesn't end until Phase 3 starts. Therefore anything in the roadmap that states Phase 2 can be implemented at any time prior to Phase 3.
This video is a career sewage slide speed run.
on the dead homies
I don't care about ashes but I saw the drama on Asmon's channel and I gotta say the whole desert thing was misleading as fuck bro
Also Narc on purpose refers to an alpha's showcase video as the advert for the final product, and that is misleading as fuck too!
@@Berndr Yeah Alpha Showcase is just a "This is what we're thinking of" concept show
That was on his livestream recently?
@@Berndr I wish Narc was better at communicating his points
If he just said "this video 2 years ago was a preview of what WILL be in Alpha 2 as the title says and it's basically a trailer to sell you Alpha Keys ($250), and they didn't present anything remotely close to this despite being 2 Years ago. They also didn't communicate how this will be implemented periodically throughout Alpha 2 or not at all."
Then I think a lot more people would find him agreeable.
But instead he uses exaggerated language like "expansion never happened" or "desert doesn't exist" or "everything is a lie" like come on man, he was clearly emotional when making the video. He should have took a break or stopped feeding into his own communities outcry
@@sultan788and that's what is also misleading using words like expansion in a game that is being still in early production and doe snot even have 10 % of map yet... the wording hew should use is they promise to finish more of the map , biomes and so on , and in reality they did just not the area Narc refers to they did the Noth part of the map
... Does Narc seriously thinks that people buying these keys now will search for some concept showcase from 2 years ago to make their decision ... lol

And faced his camera off the edge of the map too, lol.

So cherry picking is showing the desert “expansion” that Steven talked about. He’s showing you what was promised to them to pay $110…
So is Steven luring people into Alpha 2 access under false promises.
Complains and states there is poor and misleading communication comming from AoC.... proceeds to completely ignore the fleshed out desert area that was released and instead goes to the work in progress area of the desert thats completely blank.

you know how many fully finished games I can buy for that amount instead of being alpha tester for scammers? I'm good bro
I checked vod on his twitch channel how he "explores" this new exciting content of nothingness out of curiosity and this is honestly embarassing... it boggles me people like you defend poor milionaire steven that milks you dry
play some actual good games instead of being pay piggy for a milionaire to access whatever the fuck it is... I recommend POE 2 early access only 30$ and it has far more content than this lol

@User54366 That is not completely true; back then we didn't have the best tool to find resources, so whenever a game came out, we just played it! and we had no choice but to play and actually experience it, but now we have RUclips, Discord, Reddit, and Steam reviews, and before we can even play it or give the game a chance, it's already dead by the community.
I already forgot about this game 4 years ago. I'll come back in another 4.
Main takeaway is this guys coverage (and shilling) has been a complete waste of time. Openly pushed it based on faith for a year+ (constant “copium” mentions) and declares it unplayable after some slight offense. Why would I ever watch anything you put out again? Food for thought to be a better content creator.
Finally, someone said it. He quit the game cause Steve didn't give a fuck about him. lol
Doing the community a favor.. see ya.
parts of his video are complete bullshit and using early development footage saying it's what the game is today ruclips.net/user/liveV_7kEgZ9MRc?si=tXtHpTpCpYE5JKcI&t=3023 pirate softwares stream of the desert
So based off Asmongold interviews today with Steve (game dev) and Thor (PirateSoftware), it's clear that you lied in your video... the question is why? Hope the clicks were worth your incoming slander lawsuit.
RIPBOZO
He lied about one aspect, but not the 1000 other things. If you think this game is ever actually releasing, you are nuts. If it ever does, its going to end up dead within 2 months. Thats very obvious at this point.
Corpo bootlicker. failed Nepo baby, richbaldy, and corpo dev team up!

Oh look another Asmon watcher who can’t think for themselves. Just like when Asmon did the D4 $80 horse pack. Everyone including Asmon screamed $80 mount what is blizzard thinking? Even though it gave you $70 worth of their currency plus the mount
@@TheNichq woah! Tell me my future too while you're at it! Do you know the winning lotto numbers? You must be a magician. Right now I'm happy to be a part of the alpha testing phase, giving critical feedback to the game devs.

Ripbozo - You let your ego get in the way.
Been following you for a while and respected your content, and totally believed everything in this video when I first saw it. But after watching actual gameplay and other creators, it's very clear you were being incredibly disingenuous during this whole video. Super disappointing man. Unsubbing and good luck.
He basically lied to his whole community to switch the channel for making other content while burning all the bridges to AoC by insulting Steven and all his team
Narc L, Steve W
cope
Keep paying daddy steven with your benefits money bucko
Just another of many brainless consumer and blind follower!
@markomejac8172 absolutely!
lmfao cope harder
So why you lying, Narc? Why are you so mad about Alpha 2, when it is playable? I saw it when Asmongold was talking to Steven and PirateSoftware. Why are you so "views" obsessed?
you totally tricked me into your lies, gg frakker
The lava dungeon exists
Just watched what it really looks like on Thor's channel. And you are completely manipulating people for your own agenda. You don't deserve views.
Shalom, 5 shekels has been transfered to your account.
Funny how if you rotate your camera a little more, an entirely developed area with a city will be displayed on the screen. Might be good idea not to mislead the people.
He's doing literal 360's lol what. The vast majority of the desert is exactly as he has shown it.
lol cope
@Eldrek- it already isn't, for more than a month. Go find a streamer who currently is in the desert and see for yourself
Funny how it's such an interesting alpha that only 13 people are streaming it on Twitch right now.
@@eh298 13 streaming, but how many WATCHING? 18200 viewer... Don't leave out information, you doing EXACTLY the same as Narc, you only say things what makes your view favorable for you. Cherry picking information is looked down by most of the intelligent people.
Intrepid just announced massive additions to the desert in the latest PTR. Actions speak louder than words. Narc was right.
Im sorry but maybe its a good thing for you to step away from pouring and spilling negativity everywhere. I have been alpha testing the game since it was made available and the last straw for me was the "desert gameplay" you are showing when anyone who does even a small bit of research can see that the desert biome is pretty much what steven showed in 2022 and the area you showed was obviously an unfinished out of bounds area of the map from before the desert patch. I honestly think that you are backing off of ashes content to keep from being labeled as a shill and it becoming easier everyday for people to see that you are spreading mis-information. I truly hope that you take a look at yourself and decide to change your behavior to that of a more positive outlook and join the rest of us in what is shaping and already feels like what will be a great game. You complain about price point in some of your videos but 110$ for almost 2 more years of testing and beta access that even if they wipe, you can play the test with another class (just like an alt), 15$ in cosmetics and a month of play time for a game without a box price and only a monthly subscripton. If selling more keys allows them to avoid having a box price then who cares how many times they sell keys . . . if the keys are selling then obviously people are interested. I play with 100s of people in my discord who are loving being part of this games development and we paid even more than the 110$ and we already feel we will get more than our money's worth by the time the game launches. So please do some soul searching and come back in a more positive light if you are going to come back . . . . unless you find another game to throw shade on and then everyone will see that this channel is just someone looking to toss mud upcoming titles . . . . i hope for the former but i guess we will see what you choose with your future videos. . . Best of luck to you and yours.
The comments here are astonishing. As someone who played phase 1 and the start of phase 2 (and has now quit), I agree with all the points Narc made INCLUDING the southern part of the desert biome, which looks absolutely baron. I went there with a group, we ran around nothingness for 1 hour looking for three star mobs to farm and then left. A lot of paid actors in the comments here that want to praise AoC.
haha
Totally agree they are coping hard.
sorry to say, but thats just a classical burn out on a game.. you went from unreasonable love to equally unreasonable hate. seen this a million time, nothing special. just sad and unreflected. maybe you will realise in a few years. until then, get well soon
Yeah this is what obsession looks like.
Just watched Asmongold and Stephen’s videos breaking this down. I’m amazed at how deceptive and hypocritical you were in this video. I’m unsubscribing and won’t be returning. Shame on you.
is it?
they flew over a generic town node there is no expansion.
An expansion means an interactive zone with possible dungeons quests and interactive objects
Where did you see those?
Land sculpting is maybe 20% of the work and even that isnt done...
So what was he misleading you about? Tell me 1 thing that is complete about the desert?
@@MartinaBabic-es6bz it’s an alpha. No part of any zone is supposed to be fully complete until the game actually releases. The team was on vacation because of the holidays when phase 2 started. Lots has been added in the week since then cuz, you know, ITS AN ALPHA IN ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT. Go watch the latest interviews Asmongold did if you want all of the current relevant info. Also, keep in mind, you’re not entitled to any kind of complete game or expansion experience, or access to any specific part of their world just because you paid for the alpha. You’re there to help them test whatever systems and whatever areas they need help with right now. That is all. If you can’t keep that criteria in mind when you log in to the alpha, then use their refund policy and stop participating.
This is disingenuous af. You literally went to the edge of what they've worked on to pretend they didn't have the desert area from their showcases. People shouldn't trust YOUR reviews or videos.
I'm in no way bias for ashes, i have my own grievances with certain things inside the game but, this video was invalid information and a slightly silly (to avoid calling it stupid) take.
*This game is extremely loved by the developers, it's constantly receiving updates and fixes, steady growth week after week.
*You lied a HUGE LIE, you said your community and everyone else majority thinks like you, that's a lie, even your own community is mad at you for the hate you have been dropping lately.
*Steven isn't banning anyone for not liking the current state of the game, your community is breaking rules by insulting and spreading hate, there's 7 actively open forums talking sht about the game none of them are or were ever banned, you broke the rules that's why you got banned, you are being silly for spreading misinformation once again.
*Desert was fixed and expanded in 1 week, if you're going to make a video talking about it, show the growth not the day 1 take on an alpha stage, you showed the edge boundry and not the actual living desert, come on dude, you know you're just being silly again.
Overall your hate is coming from the fact that you asked steven to be a content creator partner for ashes, and they told you that your content doesn't align with their ideals, when you complained that you dedicate your time just for ashes they said "take a break" and you took that as an insult, people on RUclips might be ignorant to what you do and who you are, but actual ashes players EVEN YOUR OWN community knows since you got rejected by intrepid, that's when you started making these hate videos.
And last but not least, the price, it takes a fortune to have the servers up all the time, open google and make a simulation how much it will take to maintain the servers online for alpha, beta, testing and then game release and come back to me saying 100$ is alot because it isnt, what you payed is fair and tbh LOW to what it will take till the game gets released, lets all be educated on stuff like this before we complain about the money you spent (of your own free will too btw.)
To anyone who managed to read all of that, sorry it was long, ashes is in a wonderful stage, highly positive feedback replies, week after week fixes and updates, don't listen to this creator because he's just mad that steven doesn't want to be his "buddy"
He spent the last 4 years making videos with false and outdated wiki information, and now hes surprised intrepid doesnt want to make him partner, it's just silly.
I look forward to seing you come back, and be kinder to yourself and the community, and most important not tell lies that can hurt an ongoing project, i understand that you need content to make a living, and despise what i said i wish you all the best.
News at at 11: A game under development receives updates and fixes on regular basis, all this for only $100
@JoriDiculous News at 10: a game you have access to for 3/4years that needs to pay server fees for your ass to have access to the server, 100$ pretty much free, should be 100 a year, generous developers should recive a reward, said before and ill say it again, its your money, do what you want with it, im a programmer, not even close to a dev but i know how it works, 100$ a person is not close to enough to maintain servers opened, thats why games have subs, or item shops for them to get money, alpha doesnt have that, so they cant sustain server fees without alpha keys, plz ppppplzzzz google how the world works, i beg you.
@@TarkYellow you really should lay off the copium for a while
@@JoriDiculous Sorry i forgot facts dont mean much when hate train is on max speed. I shall leave you to whatever you want to think, GL and HF
this is the dumbest rage bait i have ever seen, this is an attempt of becoming relevant because you know you dont have a foothold in the space you are so desperately trying to grow in.
Funny thing is i thought ashes was a scam this whole time, so initially I believed your lies.
Now i actually have some respect for ashes, and I know that you're a liar and a scammer.
I don't think ashes is a game for me, but it might end up looking better in a few years.
CAUGHT LMAO
Its alpha. You dont develop yet make wild claims about technology. This is some serious cope man. You dont even need a horse in the game to realize you need to step back. This isnt a normal way to think... You think there arnt about 10 builds at any given time? You havent worked in large scale development..... cause this is fact.
I love how the comment section just skipping right over where they keep drip feeding alpha phases for $100's of dollars over and over again. I remember backing this game way back in like 2012-2015 here we are not even in a beta nor close to one. Not sure what yall are missing.
Except you are an uninformed content creator. You aren't on the development team. You have just as much information as everyone else on the consumer-side of the game does.
Maybe take some time out and reflect on your mental health and life priorities. Come back later as the game develops.
when i came on this channels a few years back Narc overglorified AoC and at the same time spread hate against other titles, called Pantheon a scam and so on.. and tbh you can see that Narc has also hate against himself with all the coke and pizza.,. so this channel was a big turn off ... and now Pantheon is in Alpha and Narcs AoC dream comes to crumble .. lol, Narc is sucha laughable sad troll
It would make sense for him make vids glazing the scam & keep making the YT money
You seem to be mad at the developers because you chose to over-invest your time and energy into following the progress of their game. To be honest, this is just a sign that you're not mature. This game doesn't appear to be a scam, it's probably just not a good game and probably never will be. Many games are not very good, but that doesn't make them scams. If I was you, I would come to terms with making rational vs. emotional choices and learn not to be sold on items that aren't ready for market.
This is the most reasonable response. It is an inexperienced team with big concepts. Idk why people think those who have never worked on an mmo could have the slightest idea of making a good mmo.
At the end of the day, the devs and community overhyped a sh*tty game. That's all.
I'll never watch your content again... have fun getting a real job.
I am so incredibly disappointed in this video..Making a video on a crashout that is seemingly fueled by the majority of your fanbase is such a shame Narc. This was in poor taste, and I hope you eventually see that after taking a step back.
Just saw stevens response to this and gotta say, this is pretty scummy.
This was the most predicable outcome anyone could have possibly imagined...
This video is not accurate and a joke. Someone seems hurt by Steven and the team.
agreed
Eh good riddance.
The dude was so high on copium that he let himself down.
Can't wait for your response to the allegations
He's a coward, he won't make a response. Dude should start looking for a job since he killed his own youtube career.
@@snugglebadger3727 He did respond, Asmon interviewed him. But all his points were debunked by Steven, and I'd rather believe the dude who funded the project and can clearly show what's currently in the game, than a dude who ragebaited everyone by showing the edge of a map and calling an alpha a scam.
@@snugglebadger3727 But he did respond.... lol
CAUGHT 4K
I saw the lava dungeon in 4K
This vid is full of it: cherry picking, being ingenuine, and at best misrepresenting how a game is developed.
I know AAA games have altered the perception of what an alpha means, but let me make it simple.
Alpha = rough
Beta = needs polish
(post beta) Early Access = final tweeks
The worst part is he being at the edge of the map saying stuff doesn’t exist. The underground lava dungeon exists that is all.
You can be mad at the game, or even upset it's not meeting expectations, especially for an Alpha. but you're blatantly being disingenuous when it comes to the desert, and how it looks now in it's current iteration. But it's the internet, and of course lying to make that $$$ is what someone who lacks actual self-respect would do.
After some new information it seems that this video is kind of misleading.
It's not new information, but yes ... this video is full of lies.
Narc, this is an honest comment. You don’t get a ton of subscribers even though you have had huge RUclipsrs review your videos and give you attention. You can’t grow as a creator, because you do stuff like this. You are so disingenuous and in your own head about things, create a negativity spiral in which you refuse to hear anyone else. Nobody likes that kind of negativity. It’s not productive and it’s toxic to be around. There are people who can be negative but are genuine and productive with their criticisms and are fully fair with their assessments. You are not that. You’re always pessimistic and nihilistic. You’re leaving AOC because people don’t conform to your world view, not because the devs did anything wrong. You are unforgiving and toxic.
Yeah I remember when he made a long video talking about how a close friend "betrayed" him. Looking back seems like Narc is just an unhinged weirdo.
newsflash narc not everyone of your subscribers is going to watch every single video that you post so no I haven't seen the last desert video and in that regard this video to me ended up being nothing but rage bait.
The development looks fine. You've been playing the game for ages do you even remember that the content is supposed to come as the nodes develop?? I get the purpose of this video still is just you moving on which is fine, and great, but sheeeeeeesh did you overreact emotionally.
Showing the state of desert while he was talking about it. 🤣
Narc as soon as I watched your video, I knew you were not telling the truth because I have been living in the desert since Alpha 2 phase 2 was released. I am glad Steven went on Asmondgold stream to talk about this and show what the area looks like. Here is a tip when doing a hate content video of a game make sure you dont lie that can be easily verifiable.
Get help dude.
Did you play phase 1 then? Then you would see how "phase 2" expansion in turn was a couple of copy pasted nodes. Is that an "expansion" to you?
@@malborboss I have played since Alpha 1, so yes I have seen every step of the progression. Second, Alpha 2 phase 2 brought in a lot of new content despite the entire office being on Christmas break. Desert nodes, dwarf race, a new dungeon, start of freehold system, upgrades to town nodes. Plus the Devs never said that on day 1 of Alpha 2 phase 2 that everything will be in they said over the course of the phase they will be adding those things as they come online. So I expect them to continue to patch and for steady improvements to be made. If anyone thought what was in the showcase was what was finished just isn't bright.
@@malborboss They expanded the nodes? You think expansion like the way Burning Crusade was an expansion for wow but that's not what was meant. You don't understand the language being used clearly. I've been in Alpha 2 since October and I've been having a great time.
The only liar and scammer here is Narc. I hope he gets a perma ban from ever playing the game.
I appreciate this video getting some traction and putting the game on my radar. After watching this and then the follow up videos from creators and the team itself, I decided to hop in and try the alpha myself. Having a great time. Thanks!
so you lied, yes straight up lied about the desert area because that isnt what it looks like at all. its ok to be mad and/or disappointed in the game for whatever reason but being INTENTIONALLY dishonest about it is not only pathetic and disgusting, but it kills any and all credibility on your opinion of the game.
this is a rage bait vid the desert does not look like this
copium
piratesoftware just did a stream on twitch showing the desert yesterday go watch it at the 49 minute mark on Jan 5 you will see the current state
Woo, no more farming manufactured controversy from ashes! Glad for this one
It's VERY clear this child has no idea what an Alpha is, or anything to do with technology, appdev, networking, etc.
Weirdo wanted a complete game in an Alpha, and this is frankly sad and pathetic.
He put in HOURS, made money, etc.... and only paid ... $250? Are you freaking kidding me? I can't even take my girlfriend out to dinner for less than $200 these days! Please - I'd pay 10x what I have to play this game for as many hours as I have.
I have never heard of you but I'm just gonna hit you with this. Cherry picking arguments to try and make your point when you know you don't have one is the most Brainrot generation move you could pull. Create outrage because you need the attention since your youtube channel is stagnate.
Content creators have ruined games / gaming altogether. I've watched the dev updates every month and Steven constantly tells people not to buy in and to wait and to not overhype the game. He also constantly says it's an alpha and there will be bugs and everything you see is a work in progress.
Then all these content creators go and do is create clickbait hype videos and then piss and moan when the Alpha they were told not to buy into that will contain a lot of WIP and bugs is not a complete, playable game.
@Narc I love you man. Ive watched all your videos and the official Ashes ones. But I simply dont agree with your guilt. I purchased my 250 dollar pack about a year ago KNOWING what I was buying into. I knew those videos were concepts of mechanics that would be there. I KNEW those would not be available until they were near their completion. I understand you feel robbed. But anyone who spent the money either does know or should know, they did it of their own free will. It was not mismarketed.
No need to lie because you're angry, mate. This is not what the desert looks like.
Even furry's play this? tf
Asmon could have shown alot of the world, but the dogshit community kept killing him the second you he logged in.
