Best Of
Doodles of future character!?
Heck, I'm still super hyped about seeing what the finished character creator will be like! Please have a handful of doodles of mine in the meanwhile! ♥ (I'll probably make a dedicated gallery if I end up drawing more often in the future)
...Looking at all of these, maybe I should try my hand at full-body art instead. owO;;

Re: Open world dungeons and my concern with them
Any large group of organised people can cause the rest of the server problems. However organising a zerg takes a lot of effort. People in guilds like this tend to be the type that just want an easy ride. Get a couple of spies in the zerg guild find out the plan, organise an anti Zerg alliance/zerg and make it difficult. I guarantee the zerg will melt away as soon as it is no longer a cake walk. The problem is people have a tendency to just think there is no point in trying to supplant a zerg and this would be true if the the zerg consists of more than half the server population, any number lower gives you the chance to be part of the bigger force it just needs organising.
Realistically tho. Intrepid have said numerous times that they want to make zerging as hard as possible. Being a fan of small more personal guilds I am happy to hear this. I have never enjoyed being part of a big guild where nobody knows your name.
Re: I'm new... And here are my concerns!
Okay. Let's see if we can extract some understanding from your posts.AngryFan said:Hmmm, in my experience casual players make up the majority of players in any game. And most of them don't watch streams jump on discord or make forum post. Unless they are upset at something. I feel you are basing your opinion on a top % of players. That are willing to play beta's, and alpha's in the first place.
So, you think only top players would share their opinions about the game, basically. Alright. Fine. Question for you though: What do you mean by "top players"? The game isn't even out, what metric are you using to determine who is a top player?
If you are saying that everyone willing to play alphas and betas and be in the discord and back the game early...are all "top players" which seems like you're saying... then who TF else are we supposed to be hearing from?????
That's everyone here, including you. Are you saying we shouldn't listen to you?

PVP... Well it looks even worse to me now. I don't mean to sound like a dick or anything, but I never liked open world PVP to begin with.
And the fact it looks like you are punished harder for not fighting back. Ya I don't think this game is for me. Plus I just realized they are adding death penalties on top of it all. While the concept of the overall game sounds great. I really don't want to deal with those two things. So much so I think I will just pass on the entire game itself.
A shame really.

I can't really fathom any player who doesn't want to take part in the open world PVP. To actually like being punished for it more heavily than those who fight back. It blows my mind that a non-combatant has a heavier death penalty than a combatant does. If this stays a thing. I don't see most casual players hanging around.
AngryFan said:
I am guessing most casual players who see the PVP mechanic, and understand it. Have already written off the game. So that would be why i believe you don't see many people even talking about the PVP itself. At least that's what I think.

See here you go again.. Casual players doesn't mean PvE only, dude. There are casual PvP players too. You trying to use those concepts interchangeably. Also, while we're on the subject, how would casual players have already seen and discounted this game if you also claim only top players would know about it?
You know that doesn't make sense, right?
Look, this is going to be a PvX game whether you personally like it or not. That is the game. PvX. There will be PvE. There will be PvP. Get over that.
Now that you've gotten over that, what are your remaining problems... if any?
Re: Few idea for make the first MMO Play will pay (Goodby F2P)
@Damarus ; You totally are describing a pay to win system in which in order to advance you have to buy/pay into it in some form or another. That is not going to happen per Steven:
"Ashes of Creation will not be pay to win, that is our pledge to the community. One of the core principles we set forth with Ashes of Creation is a very strong desire to maintain the game's even playing field."
"Ashes of Creation will not be pay to win, that is our pledge to the community. One of the core principles we set forth with Ashes of Creation is a very strong desire to maintain the game's even playing field."
Inventory slots and XP potions are considered pay to win.[6]
My definition of pay to win is really anything that affects the in-game economy, the in-game action pool, your abilities and/or skills... In my opinion the inventory slots and the XP potions would be considered pay to win.[6] – Steven Sharif
Re: I'm new... And here are my concerns!
AngryFan said:Ya well I'm out. No way in hell will I play a PVP game with an added death penalty.
I'm going to call it now. That it will be even worse than wow's forums. And the forums will have someone raging about the death penalty from getting ganked daily. Just because someone didn't fully understand the PVP system before buying/getting into the game.
And there will be plenty of people trying to silence them. I really don't see this revolutionizing the genre. While it has some good concepts. And great if they can execute on them properly. But the whole open world PVP thing will just come back to bite them in the butt. And will be a huge source of debate on the forums after the game releases.
And will lead to a lot of arguments.
So you upset that a mechanic exists to help deter ganking and encourage open world PvP in a sandbox game?
I think basically you are looking for a pure PvE game, which Pantheon would be the game your looking for.
Its ok that everyone won't enjoy Ashes, Steven isn't looking to build a game for everyone.
