Re: What drew You to Ashes?

I think that what drew me was the way that the devs talked about the game. they showed passion and i loved it

Divine Flare should have some indicator of friendly vs. not

Basically title: it's impossible to visually discern if a divine flare is friendly or not, and given how impactful it is both offensively and defensively, I feel that it should have either a different color, animation, etc. to indicate that it's friendly or not.

There's an argument to be made that not knowing is interesting, but after playing with it for over a month I can tell you (at least imo) it isn't.

Re: Purify Buff Request

not only the removal of conditions, but a X seconds protection from new ones.

Definitely. The fact that many conditions can be spammed / re-applied instantly by even the most basic mobs seems to make Purify useless in a lot of situations. Especially when it comes to DoTs it feels like it's easier and cheaper to just outheal the damage rather than to remove them right now - which is not the way it should be.

Deliverance's Held Ability Behavior is BROKEN

This ability is near and dear to most clerics. To most, it is the absolute core of our class. And the held ability behavior UI settings do not work.
- The Three "Held Ability Behavior" Settings do not change the casting behavior of deliverance
- Deliverance only uses a "release to cast"
- Only using "release to cast" is far more cumbersome personally on my hands, having to constantly hold down keys feels bad
- The options are there in the UI, but they need to be applied to Deliverance

Let me flourish in the direction I am moving.

Make backwards flourish do a moonwalk animation.

Thoughts?

Re: Economy in Ashes (Solving MMORPG Inflation)

I find it somewhat baffling that we have a vocal side of the community voicing their concerns and frustrations with the backwards progression in forms of exp debt, material loss on debt and material loss during lost siege wars.

Then suddenly a post like this pops up, suggestions the game cuts away the one secure resource there is: gold, in intervals.

Honestly, for me personally, the exp debt, material loss etc is not a game breaker... But if the game starts eating away at the other resources as well (such as gold) "just because", then I very much feel like this game will be way too much of a hassle. It'll just feel like a survival game where you more or less start over and over, and that is not for me.
