Thats the major problem with so many big budget games these days. The people making it dont play or enjoy what they make. Passion always improves the product.
That is a problem. They are making features and ideas that just they think the world wants. Is nice they understand the game. But the people who will play and pay for the game are users

Then you go on to completely contradict yourself, saying that they are just making features and ideas that they think the world wants?

@@AshesofCreationPeople play moorpg, because there many people on one map. People can be thousands. It's fun to play together, in one clan. But what to do, if person only start play and don't have a friends or clan? The way is make bots-friends Learn a bots talk (from 200 phrases to few thousands phrases). Make an illusion of friend. Friend who are a girl, who like chat, who likes play together and explore the world togethe
I've had a lot of fun with AoC already in its limited state. Simply teaming up with a random person in the world, learning to pull mobs as a ranger and mage, becoming friends, etc. We later added other players to the group and eventually by random chance had a group of 8 players with all the classes covered and decided to 'raid' a dungeon. Really fun time.
I have to say that watching people have fun, or hearing about them having fun, with what is no real content, or bare-bones content, and a lot of bugs, is very very encouraging. I have a pretty good imagination, and I can't begin to imagine what it is going to be like once we get content fleshed out like story arcs, proper crafting, secondary archetypes etc., even before we get the second layer of player created content. I am due in Nov 8th; I cant wait to help test and get my hands on it.
@@TheToledoTrumpton yeah I'll admit I'm dirty casual MMO player. Have experience with old MMOs UO, EverQuest, etc. and had a long career grind, so now I have the money to 'pay to test' 😅. The fundamentals so far are fun. Mostly I wanted to comment on success for the dev team, they seem genuine.
this is the most casual sounding thing ive heard in a long time. you can literally have this same experience in runescape or even roblox. this game is bringing nothing exciting or new to the table.

It cooooould be (maybe) that they are actually crafting walking animations for the different races (like WoW) before committing to showing them... Idk tho, its a fact that the running animation is bad rn
Hey man, they did mention in previous live-streams that specifically things like running animations will be addressed later in the development. Personally I'm pleased with it but many people have same opinion as you do so something must be off. I wouldn't worry about things like that and instead I'd look at a bigger picture of this game if more important things (like system loops for example) stick to your liking. Cheers.
Walking, running, sprinting and rotating you character in place needs work, but the combat is fun af! What I love is that you rest your greatsword on your shoulder when you are idle, but when you are walking its right next to your face-Its distracting. Guild Wars 2 has nice in-combat pose while you are standing in moving. You should check it out. Are scabbard still planned for the release? That would be cool af
I love the combat and world direction of this! Everything is head in the right direction! Don’t lose the way combat feels now. It needs work but the way it is headed is golden. Being in a group feels amazing! I know there will be tweaking towards drops and things but atm drops feel almost non existent. In big groups also, in order to prevent zerging, maybe divide up the xp gained? But the drops definitely need to be upped unless they are just bugged at the moment. Keep up the amazing work! I can definitely feel the love for this project! ❤ You are all making something so special!
@@opac4515 i received 2 emails : one tours thursday morning for the pre-alpha2 playtest, one thursday afternoon for the alpha 2. On the email that i used to create the account and to buy the 375$ pack.
1:00:30 - I think it was a great idea to have the production in this episode. Really good for the community to get these insights into the coherent planning that goes into the development. Love the difficulty of the mobs. Would love it if you could get experience that makes it extra rewarding if you manage to take down something like a mob 10 levels above yours or your party's - without anyone outlevelled joining the fight. I got really hyped watching some 4-to-8 party groups farming mobs and still having to manage their health and mana.
Good thing is the camera (shaking) effect impacted by sorceries, you could add more, maybe like frost, fire, lightning, etc. on the sides of the viewport. Another good thing is the “bassy”, low freq sound effects on weapon impact, gives a feeling that the attacks have weight. Like in Lineage 2 with the use of soulshots and spiritshots, never felt that way in any other game, really liked that.
amazing!!! Watching this project come to fruition is just incredible. long way to go but its pretty cool being part of the ride.

You know what would be cool if you could find some Divine Elemental treasures that you can install into your nodes or freehold like Divine water, fire, ice, earth, natural, metal, wind, lighting or etc. These Divine treasures would transform your nodes or freehold depending on what element it is and give them different types of buffs for profession, skills or can unlock special blueprints or items that need a Divine Element to be crafted. You could also have a recipe that allows players to absorb these Divine treasures and strengthen their skills or acquire new ones. Depending on the biomes some divine treasures could be more shot after and some might be more variable because it might lower the crafting level or help to improve items made.
I have been testing in Alpha 2 and even though its an alpha test it is a fun game. Thank you all for your dedication, perspiration, blood, sweat and tears towards this game.
This is probably, most definitely, a personal thing, but I really hope to see an update where there's some attention given to the music and ambience audio and how you guys bring that, and with it the world around you in game, to life. Zone music (and combat music as well for that matter) can really make or break the aesthetic feel that I get from my surroundings. Vanilla WoW for example has, in my experience, still one of the best zone music I've ever heard and that really contributed to the unique feel I got from the game. With sounddesign being what it is today I'm also very curious to hear what you guys can bring to the table when it comes to the natural ambience sounds in different areas, biomes, settlements and cities :D much love from the Netherlands! ♥
People always seem to gloss over this surprisingly.. A solid soundtrack can literally make the dullest game/movie into something truly special. But when you get combination right you get lightning in a bottle. Seriously hope they invest in am orchestra and composer to come up with some epic zone music. Every single person who played wow can hear the typical zone soundtracks and it instantly brings back memories. Fuck it get hans zimmer and watch the dollars roll in.
Just some feedback, realise it's early days but I would like to see some better preset variety for the male empyreans, it's very difficult to stray much from the older looking gentleman face on them at the moment, whereas for the females you can create better variety, and you can make them conventionally attractive. Would also like the ability to make the males a tad buffer... doesn't need to be the same as the human model, but a bit more would be nice. Also noticed the facial animations were a bit odd during emotes, but I assume those will be worked on over time when more important stuff is out the way.
These few days in ashes have been one of my favorites in gaming. How is an alpha scratching that nostalgic itch of immersion, excitement, and addiction so well.
The nicest part of this video was at the end of the Livestream after they showed love to the intrepid team, someone gave a really nice heartfelt "Thank you" during goodbyes.
we could have the possibility to have the raid interface even if we are only in a group ( it is more readable ) besides this game is really good so far even in alpha 2 phase really enjoying it
I'm your partner because I also hate jumping puzzles. I have straight up quit games when I'm 75% through the game because im a completionist and I cannot reach something.
im so jazzed about when this game goes live, my friends and i are soooooo looking forward to playing this game and starting some new memories, of fanciful awesomeness to get away from reality. I was a shaman in everquest, this game brings back alot of memories of which i would like to add to.
The zoomed-in view Steve uses isn't great for situational awareness but it actually looks so good. The fire and electric mage effects look incredibly crisp too btw (I wonder how much of this is UE5 and how much is Intrepid's work?)
Some just like to do their own thing some people just don't like to get dragged into other people's lives to get their thing done, some people just want to be left alone and progress in their own time and make their own gear and hopefully to be just as "good" as the stuff people get form huge beings or big quests.
The foundations of the game are 90% good enough for me. I hope that you allow players to send suggestions outside of the forums and directly to you, so that you can use AI to parse through all of them and compile the most common ones and then discuss internally (and I'm not talking about carebears complaining about PvP; I'm talking about suggestions to improve the movement, dodge/stamina/sprint, auto-attack, quests, mobs/materials spawns and timers, itemization, etc.). Keep it up devs and team.
I remember DAOC. I was playing UO at the time. Yes "Uber" was an actual used word and quite alot. The way the creators love to play the game will ensure its longevity and further content creation. They srsly got something here......Something..........special. The world, despite alpha blues, is very immersive and it only takes seconds to completely engulf you and give you the feeling you really are ridding across the world to meet your friends =P 2 more sleeps to next test weekend!
As someone who has been Project Manager through a few Agile projects, I would like to offer my congratulations at making it through your first weekend with the -riff-raff- customers. That went about as well as could be expected! Hope the corporate therapist isn't too overworked and your firewall suppliers are responding. Just want to give admiration and support for what you guys are doing and maybe boost morale. There are a lot of us out here who get what WE are doing and are grateful for the opportunity to help and participate. Despite the Agile naming, it is a marathon not a sprint. Keep up the good work and remember to sleep and have fun!
Love how Steven spaces out to mock the other player who wants his loot back, and Steven misses the question being asked xD Much Love to Steven and the team, this is going to be huge!
With dual shields or using the shield as a weapon you just need to know what I called shield boxing. Basically you use the same move as you would if you are boxing, kung fu,Ta chi, Mix Martial Arts and just add a shield or two. You can also use any one handed weapon with it. I once saw a weapon master Doug Marcaida from Forge in Fire talking about a style I forgot the name of. But it was the principal of that fighting style he was describing stuck with me. That the same moves you used for a weapon can be used for unarmed combat and vice versa. Because they can use the same movement and just replace the weapon they are using. That way they don't have to learn different styles for different weapons. All you need to know is the compatibility of that weapon to the skill and does it need to be modified to better fit that weapon.
In dark souls 2 (undead crypt guardians) and later dark souls 3 (giant door shields) there are duel shield weapons. I believe if you choose tank/tank you should be able to go full defense and duel shield should be an option. If someone really wants to be a bulwark with two door sized shields protecting everyone behind them from harm they should be able to do so, why not? In my opinion a truely pure tank shield bashing and slamming is cool and deserves at least a second thought
On main game release, how much disadvantage will be between new players and the ones who had access to the game all that time? Imagine a guild that knows all the key parts needed to dominate (examples: - Take mayor spot. - Know most profitable zone spots and key monster/gear/recipe spots, which results being in demand for crafting. - Know quests that give better gear the fastest (to dominate battles vs similar lvl players who are only discovering the world)).
I'm having fun playing with others in AoC, making friends.😀 Being incentivized to play with others makes me SO happy when playing...I'm rather isolated where I live, but I'm going to be making AoC friends! Edit, I just saw Margaret's family grew! Wishing much love and support to the Krohn Family!💪💞
I'd love for a showcase on the tech stack more generally, the one you did before was pretty fascinating but obviously very specialised. I'd love to see the rest of the tools you're using in the stack.
The game looks great. Been following the game almost since the start and it's came a really long way. Really wish I could afford to get into the alpha, but I'm broke, sadly. Can't wait to see what's done next!
I love that you: stick to the concept of pushing players to group, to the concept of monthly payment, slow progression and that you are actually trying to play, even if it is only for marketing. I wish I will be play dual axe wielder arcane knight on launch!
It would be a cool idea with if you could have passive skills that interact with the different biomes and cancel out any debuffs that some biomes might have. Like Cold or ice resistance that keeps you from losing health in colder regions. Heat resistant to not pass out in the middle of the desert from heat exhaustion. Sea legs that keep your character from sliding in a ship battle or help your character from not get sea sickness. That way unless you are a certain race who gets those passive skills for free or learn the passive skill through hard work. You can't fully interact and explore different biomes safely without those skills.
Those sorts of survival mechanics aren't intended for Ashes. Rather than overheating or freezing, you'll see things like "weakness to fire" or "weakness to ice magic". If it rains the intention is to give lightning spells to chain to nearby players. Most of this isn't in game yet but that's the direction they are going, rather than survival mechanics you'll see more unique MMO combat based around the environment.
@@ZekethePhoenixthose skills I mentioned aren't really ment to survive in the game. It meant to add more depth to the game and make it a bit more real. Because you could still get equipment or a time potion that grants you the passive skill to explore with no debuffs. The passive skills are more of a detour mechanic than a survival mechanic because it can keep some players out of certain areas that aren't ready yet and add a home field advantage to those who haven't acquired those skills yet because they can wear items that don't need passive skill and can wear the strongest armor. It can make the elves more deadly in the woods or pirates more Fear at Sea. It also makes you interact with different races to help you acquire those passive skills for different areas that different races might have.
It would be great if you as a player could customize/change in settings menu the brightness, contrast and size of spell effects of party members and your own in menu so that players who dont want to be distracted by all bright disney colours produced by other players eg, still can clearly see their opponents and be able to react to their actions
@Steven YES your remarks at 28Mins about the visuals I COMPLETELY AGREE with I talk your guys game up about that all the time. But If I could ask the Development team a Question: Have any of them played a game called IdleON from steam? IF so will their be Mechanics that bring even the most seasoned player back to the beginning areas of the game like they do in IdleON and IF so how do you keep that from being too Overwhelming later on when you've released more and more expansions of the game?
Hey guys, Been playing since Friday, I've enjoyed traversing the map, I have a list of items, it would be amazing if you could include a bug report button in game that generates a ticket for a new issue or something, it would mean that the bugs are collated rather than the forums. On another note, a few mates advised that the website has low res images and video, it would be sick if you had a solid site up to show case not only the potential the handwork the team is doing inside.
Question: So, you said if your game crashes do to the server, it’ll only affect that area and not the whole server. But, does that mean if other people walk in to that area their game will crash as well? Every person that walks by that server area will be crashing?
@AshesofCreation I don't remember ever having asked such a question anywhere.: Are there plans to develop lore and the plot with the help of colorful modern plot cinematics after the release of the game, as do the "neighboring" popular mmorpg projects?
*Enjoying testing the game, response time to bugs and crashes has been great!* *No Halloween in game, or in stream is a glaring omission.* *Are you skipping ExtraLife too?*
Will we be able to rotate the camera without the mouse? FFXI Online is the only mmorpg I've played that allowed full camera control without using the mouse. Currently we can zoom in but not out using the keyboard.
So for a player to gain corruption you can't even hit them back to defend yourself? That just makes for either an easy kill or lack of a corruption mechanic depending on what the attacked player chooses to do. The corruption gain would make more sense upon the initial attack but only apply after the current combat ends. It would help against people harassing/drawing out a battle, just hitting others to get them to die to mobs on repeat, etc.
So I participated in the Kickstarter back in 2017, with the 500something dollar package and due to life circumstances I haven't been home in a few years. I remember the email I used to participate, and I did do what I think was the first alpha test with the little battle royal style combat, but this is a new computer and idk how I could get back what I paid for..... Can y'all help? I'd like to play as this moves into beta and beyond because 1. obviously I invested a bit into it, in both time and money 2. it still looks to be the most promising MMO, in my opinion If I could email y'all or have some more private communication to figure it out that would be awesome
About the graphics I think they people mean is the it looks a little bit like guild wars 2 in unreal engine 5. I remember the stream when Steven introduced UE5 for ashes and it looked great there. Somehow in the alpha too the bloom maybe too much or something is missing.
Jacob @ 1:02. Well said. That vertical slice is so important, progress in software is pretty deceiving from the outside. It's repeatable by nature so a massively disproportionate amount of the effort goes into the first real implementation ("MLP"). I'm personally very glad you decided to ditch (de-prioritise!) node types, race choices, summoner & rogue in favour of systems, stability and what looks to me like a fair bit of polish too!

Just watching this now but should I still post about crowd control on the forum? A comment of mine two updates got like 100 upvotes on RUclips, about CC.
I've been playing alpha 2, does everyone feel comfortable with the amount of crafting stations that are currently in the game? For example there is a station just for crafting a fishing rod. It feels a bit redundant, but I would like to hear some opinions on this. Speaking of crafting, every little thing requires fuel which also feels bad, I think there should be some exceptions to this. Like crafting a herb into a powder should not require fuel. Nor should it cost money, Money and fuel should be used for maybe crafting end items. speaking of end items, it seems there are quite a few required items for crafting anything with no way to know where to find these. This is just my initial feedback on it. It's A2 so everything is subject to change.
@@jakenbake8855 nah i think i was just in a bit of a mood this morning, and dealing with some game mechanics that shouldb't exist in a game in 2024 kind of annoyed me

I hope that you allow players to send suggestions outside of the forums and directly to you, so that you can use AI to parse through all of them and compile the most common ones and then discuss internally (and I'm not talking about carebears complaining about PvP; I'm talking about suggestions to improve the movement, dodge/stamina/sprint, auto-attack, quests, mobs/materials spawns and timers, itemization, etc.). Keep it up devs and team.
I remember DAOC. I was playing UO at the time. Yes "Uber" was an actual used word and quite alot.
The way the creators love to play the game will ensure its longevity and further content creation. They srsly got something here......Something..........special. The world, despite alpha blues, is very immersive and it only takes seconds to completely engulf you and give you the feeling you really are ridding across the world to meet your friends =P
2 more sleeps to next test weekend!
As someone who has been Project Manager through a few Agile projects, I would like to offer my congratulations at making it through your first weekend with the -riff-raff- customers. That went about as well as could be expected!
Hope the corporate therapist isn't too overworked and your firewall suppliers are responding. Just want to give admiration and support for what you guys are doing and maybe boost morale. There are a lot of us out here who get what WE are doing and are grateful for the opportunity to help and participate.
Despite the Agile naming, it is a marathon not a sprint. Keep up the good work and remember to sleep and have fun!
Our guild is already hooked. Bring on the weekend!
Best dev team EVAR!
Love how Steven spaces out to mock the other player who wants his loot back, and Steven misses the question being asked xD
Much Love to Steven and the team, this is going to be huge!
The lighting is looking a lot better or is it just me?
With dual shields or using the shield as a weapon you just need to know what I called shield boxing. Basically you use the same move as you would if you are boxing, kung fu,Ta chi, Mix Martial Arts and just add a shield or two. You can also use any one handed weapon with it. I once saw a weapon master Doug Marcaida from Forge in Fire talking about a style I forgot the name of. But it was the principal of that fighting style he was describing stuck with me. That the same moves you used for a weapon can be used for unarmed combat and vice versa. Because they can use the same movement and just replace the weapon they are using. That way they don't have to learn different styles for different weapons. All you need to know is the compatibility of that weapon to the skill and does it need to be modified to better fit that weapon.
In dark souls 2 (undead crypt guardians) and later dark souls 3 (giant door shields) there are duel shield weapons.
I believe if you choose tank/tank you should be able to go full defense and duel shield should be an option.
If someone really wants to be a bulwark with two door sized shields protecting everyone behind them from harm they should be able to do so, why not?
In my opinion a truely pure tank shield bashing and slamming is cool and deserves at least a second thought
I pay too much attention to everything. You guys are doing an amazing job!
On main game release, how much disadvantage will be between new players and the ones who had access to the game all that time?
Imagine a guild that knows all the key parts needed to dominate (examples: - Take mayor spot. - Know most profitable zone spots and key monster/gear/recipe spots, which results being in demand for crafting. - Know quests that give better gear the fastest (to dominate battles vs similar lvl players who are only discovering the world)).
Locations will be randomized on full release, If i remember it correctly. Entire map is made of blocks.
@@sospokemika1197that and nearly everything will be on RUclips anyways.
That discrepancy will not be much of an issue a month or two after launch, and non-existent a year later.
Keep it going guys, the game looks absolutley promising!
게임이 정말 멋지네요. 만약 출시하게 되면 제일 먼저 하고 싶을 정도네요.
한국어도 지원이 된다면 정말 몰입이 끝내줄거 같아요
I wish you make such an UI so no mods will be required to play the game and turn it into "game of numbers", especially with such great visuals.
Testing over the weekend was a lot of fun. Even for a solo
I have been very impressed considering this is the first weekend of A2! The combat feels great so far!
I started out in EQ and Asheron's Call! I would so love to work on a project like this MMO!
I'm having fun playing with others in AoC, making friends.😀 Being incentivized to play with others makes me SO happy when playing...I'm rather isolated where I live, but I'm going to be making AoC friends! Edit, I just saw Margaret's family grew! Wishing much love and support to the Krohn Family!💪💞
I'd love for a showcase on the tech stack more generally, the one you did before was pretty fascinating but obviously very specialised. I'd love to see the rest of the tools you're using in the stack.
I'm going to dig for those easter eggs right when I start playing
The game looks great. Been following the game almost since the start and it's came a really long way. Really wish I could afford to get into the alpha, but I'm broke, sadly. Can't wait to see what's done next!
Game needs a lot of work. The environments are stunning and beautiful. Very excited and hope Intrepid takes the time to get it right before launch.
I love that you: stick to the concept of pushing players to group, to the concept of monthly payment, slow progression and that you are actually trying to play, even if it is only for marketing. I wish I will be play dual axe wielder arcane knight on launch!
It would be a cool idea with if you could have passive skills that interact with the different biomes and cancel out any debuffs that some biomes might have. Like Cold or ice resistance that keeps you from losing health in colder regions. Heat resistant to not pass out in the middle of the desert from heat exhaustion. Sea legs that keep your character from sliding in a ship battle or help your character from not get sea sickness. That way unless you are a certain race who gets those passive skills for free or learn the passive skill through hard work. You can't fully interact and explore different biomes safely without those skills.
Those sorts of survival mechanics aren't intended for Ashes. Rather than overheating or freezing, you'll see things like "weakness to fire" or "weakness to ice magic". If it rains the intention is to give lightning spells to chain to nearby players. Most of this isn't in game yet but that's the direction they are going, rather than survival mechanics you'll see more unique MMO combat based around the environment.
@@ZekethePhoenixthose skills I mentioned aren't really ment to survive in the game. It meant to add more depth to the game and make it a bit more real. Because you could still get equipment or a time potion that grants you the passive skill to explore with no debuffs. The passive skills are more of a detour mechanic than a survival mechanic because it can keep some players out of certain areas that aren't ready yet and add a home field advantage to those who haven't acquired those skills yet because they can wear items that don't need passive skill and can wear the strongest armor. It can make the elves more deadly in the woods or pirates more Fear at Sea. It also makes you interact with different races to help you acquire those passive skills for different areas that different races might have.
Congrats Margaret we got a future MMOplayer his perfect we all thank you good job
I think following the development has hyped my anticipation for the game to come out
Looking forward to see where you are in 5 years, hopefully ready for 1.0 launch.
the animations look really good. i havent seen recent updates, so maybe the animations are old, but for me its new.
King of the mmorpg for next decades ❤
Can't wait for this game!
It would be great if you as a player could customize/change in settings menu the brightness, contrast and size of spell effects of party members and your own in menu so that players who dont want to be distracted by all bright disney colours produced by other players eg, still can clearly see their opponents and be able to react to their actions
Ashes of Creation is shaping up to be more true to Archeage than Archeage chronicles.
@Steven YES your remarks at 28Mins about the visuals I COMPLETELY AGREE with I talk your guys game up about that all the time.
But If I could ask the Development team a Question: Have any of them played a game called IdleON from steam? IF so will their be Mechanics that bring even the most seasoned player back to the beginning areas of the game like they do in IdleON and IF so how do you keep that from being too Overwhelming later on when you've released more and more expansions of the game?
Im so excited
Hey guys,
Been playing since Friday, I've enjoyed traversing the map, I have a list of items, it would be amazing if you could include a bug report button in game that generates a ticket for a new issue or something, it would mean that the bugs are collated rather than the forums.
On another note, a few mates advised that the website has low res images and video, it would be sick if you had a solid site up to show case not only the potential the handwork the team is doing inside.
You mean the /bug feature?
Hold Up. Margaret Krohn? As in Layla,The Vampire Slayer !?J4D3? I didn't know if she was still around. Glad to see you doing well for yourself
29:57 So LOS isn't a thing thus far?
Love that flame tree artwork behind Bryan. Is that a wall paper we might see available on the site some day?
Question:
So, you said if your game crashes do to the server, it’ll only affect that area and not the whole server. But, does that mean if other people walk in to that area their game will crash as well? Every person that walks by that server area will be crashing?
@AshesofCreation
I don't remember ever having asked such a question anywhere.:
Are there plans to develop lore and the plot with the help of colorful modern plot cinematics after the release of the game, as do the "neighboring" popular mmorpg projects?
yes 10 years later they will get to that and u can pay to test it
*Enjoying testing the game, response time to bugs and crashes has been great!*
*No Halloween in game, or in stream is a glaring omission.*
*Are you skipping ExtraLife too?*
8 november , lest go baby
Will we be able to rotate the camera without the mouse? FFXI Online is the only mmorpg I've played that allowed full camera control without using the mouse. Currently we can zoom in but not out using the keyboard.
God I can't wait for official release. This will be my main mmo!
Please fix the floatyness. The characters don’t feel connected to the ground. It’s Tokyo drift out here 😂
Plz add Mouse sensitivity settings. Trying to move with a mouse the way it is feels very sluggish.
Will there be a class combination that would be close to a monk who fights with his bare hands in martial arts?
So for a player to gain corruption you can't even hit them back to defend yourself? That just makes for either an easy kill or lack of a corruption mechanic depending on what the attacked player chooses to do. The corruption gain would make more sense upon the initial attack but only apply after the current combat ends. It would help against people harassing/drawing out a battle, just hitting others to get them to die to mobs on repeat, etc.
So I participated in the Kickstarter back in 2017, with the 500something dollar package and due to life circumstances I haven't been home in a few years. I remember the email I used to participate, and I did do what I think was the first alpha test with the little battle royal style combat, but this is a new computer and idk how I could get back what I paid for..... Can y'all help? I'd like to play as this moves into beta and beyond because
1. obviously I invested a bit into it, in both time and money
2. it still looks to be the most promising MMO, in my opinion
If I could email y'all or have some more private communication to figure it out that would be awesome
About the graphics I think they people mean is the it looks a little bit like guild wars 2 in unreal engine 5. I remember the stream when Steven introduced UE5 for ashes and it looked great there. Somehow in the alpha too the bloom maybe too much or something is missing.
Mana break.. have fond memories or this in DAOC :)
Jacob @ 1:02. Well said. That vertical slice is so important, progress in software is pretty deceiving from the outside. It's repeatable by nature so a massively disproportionate amount of the effort goes into the first real implementation ("MLP").
I'm personally very glad you decided to ditch (de-prioritise!) node types, race choices, summoner & rogue in favour of systems, stability and what looks to me like a fair bit of polish too!
Ce que je trouve bien c'est la barre de mana qui peut etre lente a se régénérer sa donne parfois un côté plus dur pour les cbt que dans certain jeu ta l'impression d'avoir une infinité de mana
Quite seriously, you should get Margaret to narrate the official trailer(s) 01:23
Just watching this now but should I still post about crowd control on the forum? A comment of mine two updates got like 100 upvotes on RUclips, about CC.
Yes Pleas we need the second movie of alpha pleas❤❤❤ from ilze South Africa
When your holding a greatsword, you run like you need to poop. Other than that im content with what is available so far :D
Wait you get what he had in the inventory? Not bad :D
I’ve just heard about this game, how can I gain access to the alpha or future betas?
Looks really beautiful but tap target feels antique
Will it ever released?
This game ever going to be released?
Release when'd ?
Those new cleric effects are niceee compared to the effects in the cleric reveal video
I just wanna know where is the content from Alpha 1? is it scrapped or in a different map?
Please help fixing out of video memory issue, really wanna play this game smoothly instead of crashing out randomly
Hey, I have a question. will you give a discount to those of us who live in ASEAN after the global release because 15 dollars is too expensive for us.
Need to see cleric get a simple melee ability bruh
“He’s chasing me! He’s chasing me! He’s chasing me!” Ingrained in my mind forever. One of the crap-all funniest moments right there…
I've been playing alpha 2, does everyone feel comfortable with the amount of crafting stations that are currently in the game? For example there is a station just for crafting a fishing rod. It feels a bit redundant, but I would like to hear some opinions on this.
Speaking of crafting, every little thing requires fuel which also feels bad, I think there should be some exceptions to this. Like crafting a herb into a powder should not require fuel. Nor should it cost money, Money and fuel should be used for maybe crafting end items. speaking of end items, it seems there are quite a few required items for crafting anything with no way to know where to find these. This is just my initial feedback on it. It's A2 so everything is subject to change.
when the game released?
i had to stop playing alpha 2, and it isn't a lack of content or anything, its the mechanics that got me right now, ill try again later maybe idk
Understandable, not everyone has the endurance to be a play tester and deal with issues.
@@jakenbake8855 nah i think i was just in a bit of a mood this morning, and dealing with some game mechanics that shouldb't exist in a game in 2024 kind of annoyed me
@@perry.padgettAoC doesn’t want to be a 2024 mmorpg. That’s what the whole game is about. And I think that’s good.
@@SpiDey1500 im talking about the monster tagging system, kind of outdated to have a bunch of people standing around waiting for a mob to spawn.
when rouge release?
How do I go about buying Jacob's hoodie? Take my money!
I can't get in. Error: 22
