Sorry for the delay. This video was originally 2 hours long, with much more editing, jokes and what not, but Hard Drive fried out and I lost a bunch of stuff and had to restart the whole video and I didn't have the patience to edit it down perfectly and be able to get this out in time before A2.
probably better that way. I like content like this sometimes, especially when someone put the time in and really knows what they're talking about, but 2+ hours is such an investment when there's so many other things going on lol
I know its early days, but is there any indication in the game mechanics, that Intrepid is aiming to support hybrid playstyles like warrior priest style cleric, or battle wizard (melee + magic)?
Never really understood how people's hard drives tend to magically break when they're making a video. Over 15 years working with computers and hardware and I've rarely had a HDD fail or even come across broken HDDs unless it was dropped or liquid was spilled on it lol.. and Its totally okay to rant and have a long video IMO *shrug*
The video was VERY good. However, the thing that sealed the Subscribe... was the love you showed other Creators near the end. That's the kind of Positivity, and 'high tides raise all ships' we need in the Community.
Crix has always been good about this. The Classic WoW community, especially the Hardcore community, did an amazing job lifting each other up. Crix himself is the product of this. Love to see him paying it forward.
Kudos to you for mentioning Narc at the end. A lot of people would be afraid to mention him but I agree with you 100% one of the best CC out there. Great informative video btw. Looking forward to a lot more and playing alongside you in Verra!
@@emarskineel because to some people Narc is a bit too much and controversial to some people. Personally hes my favorite but you know how people are. Shit him and Steven have had at it sometimes.
This is a real good overview of what I've seen in verra this weekend. Much respect, this is one of the better videos I've seen you put together as a casual follower.
Damn this is the most in-depth and informative review i have seen about this game so far. Its clear you have put in the time and are very experienced with this game. Keep up the hard work.
The biggest help with videos like this is mostly reassurance of "No you don't suck, the leveling is really slow and the systems aren't tuned because its an Alpha. Yes you need to perma with 20 people or you are behind"
Glad you are tryin out this game, ive been watchin your content for a while now and i like the ways you explain stuffs. Keep up the great work :) Destro forever
Nice overview! I'm hyped for this game. Can't wait to try it out. Not sure if I'm willing to drop $100 for alpha but gonna play it for sure. Excited to try out some fun mage farms!
This video is genuinely great!! Informative, filled with subtle humour which breaks up the seriousness of absorbing that information. Even shouting out others? Overall fantastic. Looking forward to future uploads, keep it up man! 🔥💯💪
What makes me excited about the game is it feels similar to Dark Age of Camelot, which is still my favorite MMO for non-instanced content and PvP (WoW is my favorite for PvE). The Bard class in AoC actually has a few parallels in DaoC, like Skald, Minstrel, etc. So many unique classes and ways of playing that go beyond the 'tank/healer/DPS' roles that I bore of pretty quickly.
One of the best videos I've seen out there! One comment I will make is the take on Bard is half right but half off. Maybe it's a change from pre-Alpha 2, but as a Bard, it was never in my interest to join a party. Every time I joined a party or open world dungeon it slowed my EXP/hr. Bards have the second most AOE abilities, and it really shines at AOE farming solo. You never need to stop for mana or health, and you're always casting a spell or autoattack that deals AOE damage. Really great video though. I'm going to send this to friends since it's the best summary of the state of Alpha 2 I've seen! Cheers mate.
Oh, I also never lost a 1v1 despite having to fight over my AOE grinding spots. The only 1v2 I lost as Bard was vs Bard+Fighter. Despite dodging most of the Fighter's burst, the enemy Bard's sustain, even while they were corrupted, was too strong. Granted, I never fought a mage.
I played bard to level 20 and solo'd a lot of that time using melee. It is very strong on its own, contrary to popular opinion, and does a misleading amount of damage if set up right. Even without mana song and Hymn you can permanently stay topped off by yourself, which allows you to run Menacing (dps) and Cheerful (heal) songs concurrently. I ran most of that time with sword/shield or greatsword, and a wand/focus in the back pocket. You can stack permanent 30% damage buffs and a 15% crit rate buff with probably the best mobility in the game, plus you're extremely durable due to all of the self healing and shields. It really is slept on, and the new resonance changes make it pretty busted.
Really good coverage! I went corrupted to test and it took me 60 mobs to drop from Corruption level 1 to regular status. Not sure how much mobs you need to kill later on.
after the past 12 showcases they did monthly, i honestly assumed that the game was much further ahead than what was in alpha 2. i guess it will come down to how fast the game evolved and change during the next 2 years of alpha.
A lot of the content they’ve made isn’t available in phase 1 of alpha. Phase 1 is just for testing networking. Phase 2 and 3 will feature more content.
I think for testing you definitely want to overdo it on the corruption, because people will try really hard to get around it and it will more quickly show if you have flaws/loopholes in your system
Batman is…. Gotta be careful. youtube might ping me for that one. great video Dude. watched it all. loving the game and you Sir, just gained a subscriber. 👀
Same as "climbto1" below, love for other creators and especially Narc because watching him since Kickstarter! LOL ONE last honest suggestion, and it's in NO way meant as a slight on you, but you HAVE to slow down the speed of your speech. Of course you cram pack TONS of great knowledge into your video and as I said earlier great production, but if you slow down the speech you can not only make more videos from the vast knowledge you bring, but we (those listening) can actually catch and digest it and then apply it! Not sure if anyone ever said this to you but, your very funny and knowledgeable but everyone listening might learn MORE if they can catch all your bringing to the table! Or see if RUclips has a "half speed" button to slow the speech aspect down, just a little. ;) God bless man and keep up the good work. It's 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
So there's Goldeneye level (Geddan) bugged animations? Gotta say, that kinda jank is a little charming, as long as it doesn't chronically result in lengthy corpse runs. Regardless I'm cautiously optimistic here.
they will obviously balance the classes. Just pick a class that have the most fun skills. Dmg numbers, surviability numbers etc, will be changed to get more balanced.
Damn Dude, that's a long time, but after Alpha 2 Test, I was like.. NOPE! Nothing like the videos Dev's showed at all. I will wait for Beta 1 and Try Again, Crafting is my only wish.
The game needs to hand hold a bit for the first ten or at least for the tutorial levels. Right now as I am still trying to learn the game I get jump by higher level or groups and it would be annoying for most people that are trying to check out the games.
@@DanBryanWrites I don't mind pvp but this game punishes you for playing solo that is a problem for many people especially when you are low level and still trying to learn and get around things.
@@Cozzyhane exactly. I played an mmo a few years ago which basically put you in the desert riding these sort of sand ships (I forget the name now) but that was a great concept but the game was killed by big clans just hunting noobs for sport. Just killed the playbase and now the game has been closed down. That's the danger
@@CrixGuides and how do i get the launcher for it all on 8th because was not sure. thought maybe with buying it i wouldve got the launcher link via mail butmaybe ill get it later on do i need to activate the key myself or does it just activate on the 8th on its own ? sorry for the questions was just kinda confused how it works :) also could i join your guild on the 8th ?
Thanks for just talking about the core game and not the bugs/features that don't work yet. We knew since it's alpha that it would be a shitshow when it comes to bugs, people complaining about that stuff is so pointless
We need a 1min TL;DR of your impression. As someone who hasn't followed AoC, it would be cool to be able to hear your broad impression, before I decide to watch it for 1h+ :D
Batman is ass. I did not have the time to deep dive into the game, but this weekend we got to almost level 17 with my friends, just playing as 3. Now, you were talking about weapon mastery overlap. I am not sure how deep you guys have tested this, but for example as a Bard I have leveled up Greatsword and Spellbook, then I just dropped a wand better and swapped. My spellbook was high enough to get the extended finisher, my wand is not yet high enough to have extended finisher. Weirdly enough, when I use Greatsword+Wand, I get the spellbook "echo + perfect timing" buffs, even though I am not using a spellbook. But if I use a greatsword + spellbook I do not get these buffs. Have you guys found any pattern, or it is just a straight up bug? Also, I am not sure if I understood you wrong. But it came through to me as you saying you can stack the wand burn with greatsword auto-attacking. This is definitely not the case for me during the first A2 weekend, is it maybe specific combination? Also passive buffs like "increase finisher damage by 3%" only affects that specific weapon and not the other, at least from my testing. Also did not find any pattern about the "mana/hp/crit chance" buff, if i have mana on one and dmg on the other weapon. Sometimes I get both buffs using the same weapon, sometimes not. It all feels very inconsistent and buggy to me as of now.
Can't wait to see how you dominate the Ashes content creation scene as well! (Also, "batman is ass") Your videos are always a great blend of informative and direct, with no issues mentioning things you just don't have knowledge/experience in! Watched the entire video, and hopefully will feature some of your amazing moments on my channel too!
My horrible editing. My bad. I had to restart the video after my hard drive fried and didn't have time to like professionally edit it like my others. Won't happen again!
Story arcs for Riverlands are an Item for Phase2, so I suspect Questing with be far more lucrative when it is tied to a story arc. right now they want testers to grind so that they can get all the mobs, mob Ai and combat working.
First great video, I have been playing for the last 4 days except yesterday because I could not get in... but I don't understand how did you get that far in the game, because in my experience every time I log in my character is gone, and I have to start all over again from scratch... and I never managed to get higher than level 6 in a single day ! What am I missing , how do you preserve character ? Thank you
Nah. Bard is definitely not broken. Early game they can keep up, but once level 10 or so, mages are pretty damn good. Also bards aren't even that good at 1v1's. Only thing I don't like about bards is when I'm almost dead and they chase me down lol. They're so damn fast 😂
@@ragedroyko nah it's worth it. I talk about it in other vids. I was going to do a video today about them showing them all, but they changed them and now there's a level requirement
I enjoyed the time i got in over the weekend. I need a guilld. I have zero friends playing in the early alphas and soloing is rough. Hows about a guild invite??
This game looks fun and in depth. However, I can't stand games that have long leveling in combination with losing XP when you die. Add in losing your items, don't think this game is for me. Ill for sure be watching people play though!
New World had that issue on launch with questing and leveling being basically running back and forth doing the same commissions or mob grinding in group and that got boring really quick. but even they added later with updates main questline that you follow and that gets you to max level and you can do it along side content like commissions, dungeons and professions. if the design intention is to make it impossible for solo levelers with the only viable way to play and level up is in a group, it will destroy the game. encouraging group play should be the goal but not by making solo leveling basically impossible
It’s annoying how people are treating this alpha test as if it’s a full game. This game is a decade away from release. Stop getting your hopes up or down trodden over basically knowing nothing about this game. These server tests are barely worth calling alphas. Every test just makes people hate the game haha.
@@MikaLoka-df8pncall of duty and sports games copy their code/engines and pump out a lifeless product every year with minimal improvements trying to charge $60-$90 cuz they know dumb people will buy it. For Ashes we have $120 price tag specifically for the games development, you get access to all alphas and betas for probably 2-4 years till the game comes out and an month of game time when it’s out, the game has no box price only sub once it’s fully released. Use your brain bud, $120 in the gaming industry for the product we’re hoping turns into a great game a few years down the line. I can’t buy shit games that get pumped out each year anymore it’s just never worth it to me personally.
Lmao sweaty gamers arguing over whether a class does good damage or not, and telling others to "get better at the game" for a game that's literally still in alpha 🤣
@ for anything. The only thing that should change is when you’re in a party if someone flags up, it gives other members a choice to leave party or flag up. Also if you heal anyone that’s flagged up, it will flag you. Why Strat to have ppl be bystanders? 1. Limits aoe (by both ppl) 2. Auto attacks will be limited (ppl more focused). It would help the hard hitting single target dps.
Mob grinding is great, if the combat is not insane APM. Like having to do a mash a bajillion buttons to kill a single mob and getting piss experience for it, especially if the buttons your pressing are mindless, meaning you're not managing any meaningful resources or have consequences for not planning into the encounter, then yeah mob grinding is awful. If every choice is a big commitment, or the Action per minute required to do optimal DPS is low, that leaves more time to hang out with your group and make 'good' decisions instead of just mashing your dps rotation at max speed. I am a 2200 arena player in TBC classic, I am not a timmy ass noob, I just don't enjoy button mashing during PvE.
This company stole $250 from me. I literally bought it years ago, they lost my account and denied me access to the alpha. Purchased Alpha access for myself as a Birthday gift 4/09/2021 and they said sorry we cant find your account.
@@CrixGuides yeah, the only receipt I have is completely vague. It was when they were in their old payment gateway. But yeah I'm totally disappointed. I was hoping to join you all in this post through but I can't justify buying it again

Hi! I don't have healing guides yet, but i'm starting a Cleric next weekend when testing begins and will have guides up!
Here for the new gameeeeeee
I played bard to level 20 and solo'd a lot of that time using melee. It is very strong on its own, contrary to popular opinion, and does a misleading amount of damage if set up right. Even without mana song and Hymn you can permanently stay topped off by yourself, which allows you to run Menacing (dps) and Cheerful (heal) songs concurrently. I ran most of that time with sword/shield or greatsword, and a wand/focus in the back pocket. You can stack permanent 30% damage buffs and a 15% crit rate buff with probably the best mobility in the game, plus you're extremely durable due to all of the self healing and shields. It really is slept on, and the new resonance changes make it pretty busted.
Really good coverage!

Ahh yes the mortal man with pseudo God like powers. Batman is cringe.
i believe the corruption values are cranked really high during a2 to discourage griefing, im hoping it wont be so oppressive for PKing in later builds
I think for testing you definitely want to overdo it on the corruption, because people will try really hard to get around it and it will more quickly show if you have flaws/loopholes in your system

Story arcs for Riverlands are an Item for Phase2, so I suspect Questing with be far more lucrative when it is tied to a story arc. right now they want testers to grind so that they can get all the mobs, mob Ai and combat working.
So to avoid highlevel players killing noobs, they should make it so your level differance = stacks of corruption.

Well said! And yeah this game is def not for everyone and that's okay! I just hope that they buff the exp rates from Quests/Comms.
It’s about the journey and not the destination in these type of games. I love it.
I like how this guy is trying to talk like he is pro or something while he is backpaddeling in game :D
@Marmelaaada Oof.... you didn't notice that it wasn't me in the footage did you bud. And the guy in all that footage is Steven. 🤣🤣
Marmelaaada, you dropped this:

New World had that issue on launch with questing and leveling being basically running back and forth doing the same commissions or mob grinding in group and that got boring really quick.
but even they added later with updates main questline that you follow and that gets you to max level and you can do it along side content like commissions, dungeons and professions.
if the design intention is to make it impossible for solo levelers with the only viable way to play and level up is in a group, it will destroy the game. encouraging group play should be the goal but not by making solo leveling basically impossible
Dude what are you doing... I thought this game was garbage, now i have to buy alpha key.
SUCCUMB TO THE POWER OF THE DARK SIDE.
15:01 I guess Mages are just twice as good in 1v1s
Just sounds like Mages are incredibly overpowered compared to others classes at current. Nerf bat incoming?
I think they should buff the others, rather than nerf Mages.
It’s annoying how people are treating this alpha test as if it’s a full game. This game is a decade away from release. Stop getting your hopes up or down trodden over basically knowing nothing about this game.
These server tests are barely worth calling alphas. Every test just makes people hate the game haha.
AAAAAANNND still AOC have the nervs to ask 120USD for this
@@MikaLoka-df8pncall of duty and sports games copy their code/engines and pump out a lifeless product every year with minimal improvements trying to charge $60-$90 cuz they know dumb people will buy it.
For Ashes we have $120 price tag specifically for the games development, you get access to all alphas and betas for probably 2-4 years till the game comes out and an month of game time when it’s out, the game has no box price only sub once it’s fully released.
Use your brain bud, $120 in the gaming industry for the product we’re hoping turns into a great game a few years down the line. I can’t buy shit games that get pumped out each year anymore it’s just never worth it to me personally.
Are staves in the game? Do you need to use a wand to cast spells?
You don’t need to use a wand to cast spells but no I don’t think there are staves at Least not yet
Nice video bro, batman is assssss 😂
Thank you!
Yea i always think the journey is what matters then the destination
batman is asmongold, everyone thinks its wanye but .... appreciate the vid
Lmao sweaty gamers arguing over whether a class does good damage or not, and telling others to "get better at the game" for a game that's literally still in alpha 🤣
Batman sucks! But this video doesn't! Wow what an incredible and detailed overview. Thank you!!
Comment for the algo.
Batman is ass :) great video, very informative
YAP YAP YAP, thanks brother! I can't wait to play it! I thought this was a cash grab scam LOLOLOLOL
It’s a good strat to have ppl that are civilians in your battles.
Why?
1. Aoe nope
2. Auto attacks nope
It lets small numbers have a chance.
Do you mean for pvp?
@ for anything.
The only thing that should change is when you’re in a party if someone flags up, it gives other members a choice to leave party or flag up.
Also if you heal anyone that’s flagged up, it will flag you.
Why Strat to have ppl be bystanders?
1. Limits aoe (by both ppl)
2. Auto attacks will be limited (ppl more focused).
It would help the hard hitting single target dps.
14:33 why is your script in the video? 😂

Mob grinding is great, if the combat is not insane APM. Like having to do a mash a bajillion buttons to kill a single mob and getting piss experience for it, especially if the buttons your pressing are mindless, meaning you're not managing any meaningful resources or have consequences for not planning into the encounter, then yeah mob grinding is awful. If every choice is a big commitment, or the Action per minute required to do optimal DPS is low, that leaves more time to hang out with your group and make 'good' decisions instead of just mashing your dps rotation at max speed.
I am a 2200 arena player in TBC classic, I am not a timmy ass noob, I just don't enjoy button mashing during PvE.
This company stole $250 from me. I literally bought it years ago, they lost my account and denied me access to the alpha. Purchased Alpha access for myself as a Birthday gift 4/09/2021 and they said sorry we cant find your account.
@kingbirdIII wtf thats scuffed. You should be able send a receipt or something and fight that. That sucks, I'm sorry brotha
@@CrixGuides yeah, the only receipt I have is completely vague. It was when they were in their old payment gateway. But yeah I'm totally disappointed. I was hoping to join you all in this post through but I can't justify buying it again
Oh man. That sucks so hard. I really hope you can get it worked out @kingbirdIII
Corruption is great for RMT🎉
This is true!
