Rosethorn Carriage Fan Art

Hey everyone!
I'm excited to share this fan art I created based on a concept by Luca Nemolato for Ashes of Creation.
I hope you like it as much as I enjoyed making it!

Ladies and gentlemen !

Alpha 2 is closer than ever !
(That's quite an easy statement, I know…)

While many of us are about to set (virtual) foot on Verra for the very first time, I would like for us to send some thoughts to our (virtual and hypothetical) ancestors who fought and died on this beautiful world thousands of years ago.

Hommage to those who fell !

Since words without action carry no weight... I am proud to present to you some Non-virtual-but-still-hypothetical-fallen-Ancestor in action !

Now let's have a closer look to these relics of the past !

Warcrown of Sorcery :

"An ancient crown, forged during the desperate times of the Apocalypse.
It is said to contain a savage and ruthless power.

At least it's what the saleself said to mom."

Spaulders of the Mighty Phenix :

"Mighty Phenix ?! It looks like some random angry chicken if you ask me my opin… aouch ! Ouch ! Hey ! Leave me alone you stupid flaming-bird !"

Armor of the Faithful :

"Yeah you definitely need faith to wear this so-called armor. I guess the designer of this thing had an iron belly or something ?"

Armbands of the Fallen Glory :

"I'm not sure about glory, but they definitely fell in some mud."

Gauntlet of the Flaming Heart :

"Again, what's wrong with this designer ? Is it actually wrong to want to keep my right fingers attached to my hand ? Is it ?"

Stick Great-Grand-Archmage-Staff

"It hates being called Stick... so I had no choice but to rename it. Scary, scary staff."

"Stiiiiick !" (active ability) : Your next single-target offensive spell is a guaranted critical hit, but it has a 50% chance to hit you instead of your target.

Set effect : Blessing of the Goddess (passive skill)

"Beware if you dare to harm one of the beloved followers of the Goddess of Creation ! Her wrath might desintegrate you on the spot ! If she is not busy looking elswhere, of course."

Upon your death, you have :
- a 95% chance to summon an angry chicken attacking all nearby ennemies.
- a 5% chance to summon a mighty armored phenix, attacking all nearby ennemies.

Alright !

This is very likely the last cosplay I'll be crafting, so I hope that you enjoyed the video !

Which is quite longer than I expected, sorry about that.

Also, here are some cool pictures from the video

Re: Freehold - Aquisition, ownership and risk

The pushback is largely due to most players not being able to get a freehold.

Without a freehold there is no compelling reason (currently) to be a node citizen.

"You want to live in a city, but you can't, so you won't?"
That isn't much of an argument.

While Freeholds contain alot of content, regular player housing in cities also grant citizenship, and I am sure plenty will find this compelling.

Again, it is in the eyes of the beholder.

So, we have gone over all of this in a number of threads.

If I do not have a freehold and what I want is a freehold, then I am not going to become a citizen of a node because that may prevent me from getting a freehold.

This isn't as much in the eye of the beholder as it is just basic logic.

If becoming a citizen of a node restricts you more than not being a citizen does and I do not have a reason for becoming a citizen of a node, why would I become a citizen of a node?

Mushroom Figurine

Hi guys! I'm Lorey. I really love mmorpg games and am really looking forward to the release of Ashes of Creation. I want to share my creativity.
I'm new to sculpting, but this mushroom seemed very cute to me ❤️, and I enthusiastically began to embody it in a figurine.
I will be very happy if these works get on the stream in the #FanFriday section

Material: polymer clay, acrylic paints, varnish for polymer clay.
Height 85mm.
I also attach several photos with the process.

Re: Open Letter to Steven Sharif the Ashes Paradox

Firstly, I want to bring up the issue of cosmetic sales after the Kickstarter campaign. This has caused frustration among supporters who believed the game was already fully funded. The addition of FOMO-style sales may bring in extra revenue, but it is not a good look for a game that claims to be transparent and community-focused. It is important to remember that the community is the reason why the game is even in development, and they deserve to be treated with respect and honesty.

To be absolutely clear here, Intrepid said they were going to have monthly cosmetic packs pre-launch right from just after the kickstarter.

They said this well before they ever said the games development was fully funded. Intrepid maintaining monthly cosmetic packs is them keeping their word to those that joined early - they have a choice each month to purchase something that will not he made available again.

Intrepid doing as they have always said they do is not showing disrespect, nor dishonesty. It doesnt suggest anything other than an open, transparent development of this game. Keep in mind, Intrepid are simply maintaining the status quo that they have put in place, and that the community as a whole has bought in to. Them altering that status quo would suggest disrespect and dishonesty (it would literally be Intrepid going against what they have said).

What I do find disrespectful though, is your post.

The monthly sales of cosmetics are not an issue. Companies having limited time products is a thing that many people really like. If you do not like such things, just don't buy them - it isnt rocket science.

As to the FOMO argument associated with this - if someone suffers from FOMO, that is their problem. Rather than trying to stop companies around them from offering limited time products to those that enjoy them, these people should instead enlist actual professional help to get over that FOMO issue they have.

Dünir... computer table

Hello! It’s been a while since my first (and last) post here—I simply prefer to read, and I’m too lazy to write.

But now I have something to share with you!

Maybe you remember my dwarf-style jewelry box (which was posted here)? So I decided that I needed a proper stand for it. Also, I've wanted a new computer table for a long time, so I decided, why not combine the table and the stand? Of course, the table should be at least a bit dwarf-style to match the box. So I went through the wiki and all livestreams (anyway, I've been watching every livestream since the announcement) and used these images as a reference.

Well… I had no plans to make an exact copy, but wanted to keep the general style. I hope I was successful. Judge for yourself — here's the result.

And, of course, as you could guess, the color of the table was matched to the color of the cat

Materials: ash wood, oak, glue, a lot of time, oil, and wax.

That's it. Thanks for watching and reading. I hope I wasn't too boring.

P.S. Now I need a bookcase... but this is another long story
