Re: When I craft an item, will my name be on it, forever?
I think it would be interesting for players to create their own maker’s mark to apply to items they craft. That would be visible. Then you could use some information gathering and journaling to track which marks may be more significant than others. Also, at the early stages when you are making items of lesser quality, perhaps you don’t want to mark that.
Re: What surprised you in the FireBrand fight?
If you watch closely we did not see the whole raid. It was highly edited. I don't think we saw the part they said was unique.
Made me smile that Steven needed to be made unkillable. They would have wiped otherwise. He just kept resing everyone.

Re: Consternation surrounding the 8x8 Class system and how to move forward.
How about this take, I’m pretty aware of what the design intention of the augment system is and I’m fairly certain classic and modern mmorpg players will be dissapointed if their character can’t be “unique”ly different from other same-primary, different secondary class combos. And I’m talking more than just a little difference in their charge stats, or they apply a new debuff, etc. Not every ability needs to transform in a grand way, but I’ve seen a lot of sentiment about wanting some unique class fantasies from the second archetype.
Also @Dygz you sound incredibly patronizing. The amount of people closely following ashes right now is like 1% of the players that will end up touching the game on or by launch. There will be a lot of people coming from genres that depict paladins as Holy warriors/light warriors. You’re being incredibly disingenuous about the general populace’s thought on that “class”. Could you even list 3 RPGs that a paladin does not have connections to a warrior aligned with Light or Order or Religion? Thats what that guy said.

Re: Cleric and bard - please do not turn support classes into heal/buff bots.
Yeah, especially if you could mix it up a bit, and for example gain Divine Power from melee attacks instead of just casting spells.A two handed mace swinging warrior priest looking healing class would be dope.
As well as a medium to long range heal bot.
I like both and hope they can be created.
Re: What surprised you in the FireBrand fight?
The lack of motion probably. For being such a huge fight space, very little of it was used

I enjoyed the stream and Firebrand looked pretty impressive for this stage of development and for a mid-level, open world boss. This boss and Tumok are both well done for mid-level raid bosses. However, for a high quality MMO, I would expect much more in terms of difficulty and fight drama for legendary bosses at the later stages of the game.
As far as criticism, the only big issue I saw is the fog and lighting effects are a bit out of control when facing the sun. For example:

There were pirates before pistols were invented.
