Re: What drew You to Ashes?
The devs passion and attitude reminds me of time when the industry was more independent, and the dev landscape was like the wild west. They were better times full of better games. I've played too many hours of MMOs to count and have lost what I once enjoyed in them.
Ashes has signs of being a game led by a team actually passionate about their product and is poised to deliver (even if it's in 5 or 6 more years) a game that I could once again enjoy with friends and family the way I used to. Or it may not be the game for me. For now, there are many features that excite or interest me, even if there are opposing features I don't agree with. I hope there can be room for more than one type of player in an "MMO"

Re: Make Guards attack people during Node Wars.
Why are you crafting during a node war when a node war is only prime time hours?
Re: Repeated Griefing
While I don't agree with training mobs onto other players repeatedly without provocation, this mechanic does have a place. Imagine you're soloing and get killed and/or pushed off your camp by a group. I'd definitely bring them a few new friends to play with

No, WOTLK did not have LFG, and you couldn’t turn off PvP either.AirborneBerserker wrote: »The reason my point remains in tact even if I was wrong about LFG being in place or not is because even on PvP servers WoW allowed you to turn off PvP and still play the bulk of the game.
No on PvP servers you are not able to unflag. You are always able to be attacked. PvE servers your able to unflag but it takes a bit and if you are attacked or attack someone else it stops the process.
If you re-read my two posts on this matter, you will (hopefully) see that I am talking about entering instances.
Yeah I misunderstood you. I thought you were saying you can turn off PvP on PvP servers. but you you were saying you could play the majority of the game without PvPing.
Indeed.
I may not have worded it as well as I could have, but that is exactly what I was saying.
To me, that is the major difference between WoW PvP servers and Ashes.

Re: Exploit punishments happening?
They are not setting the example they think they are by not dealing with these people quickly.

Re: Bard Flourish wish...
I just dislike how flourish drops you like a rock at the end of the effect. Like, hello? Momentum? Inertia?

Re: [Cosmetic Pet Idea] Potsworth, A Witch’s Little Cauldron
I would love this
Something similar like this minus the shoes and hat. But I like the branches for feet. And maybe the little side bag could be filled with ingredients and potion bottles
