And now with bigger rewards in those areas Ashes is truly becoming a pvp game rather than a pvx one.

While I hate to say I told you so...

What Steven is talking about with battlegrounds is what I always assumed they would eventually do with at least some bosses.

However, doing it with entire zones is horrendous.

Since this is something Steven has previously said he absolutely does not want, all I can assume is that he is pandering to what amounts to a very small group of players.

Edit to add; anyone want to take bets on what Steven does a 180 degree flip on next?

That seems like it would be a much more productive discussion than asking what Intrepid can do to bridge a gap between two types of players of which Steven only wants one type in the game.

When the game launches (this discussion doesn't matter until then), the only required cost to play is the monthly subscription - there is no purchase price.

If Intrepid set up a means for players to be able to pay each other's subscriptions without breaking the ToS, it turns Ashes in to a pay to win game. This is also why there will not even be a means of gifting store bought cosmetics.

Hard no on this one.

I think both the buyer and the seller should be permanently banned, and their character names should be posted on some kind of wall of shame.

Then they should also block any transactions from cards with banned accounts.

None of this will "Solve" the issue, but it wont hurt.

I know it's group focused right now, but what's the solo experience like right now? Just getting into the game.

Please feel free to share your experiences with solo-play with us

Cheats have seriously affected the balance of the game. If we don't increase the crackdown on cheats. More players will receive refunds.Many games have lost a large number of players due to the problem of cheating not being dealt with in a timely manner. Game GG

From real-world creatures to fantastical ones which one are you hoping gets added to the game the most? (Mine is the Pelican)

This are just some thoughts and Ideas not really trying anything more here.

Emporium building is pretty nice, should this benefits be exclusive to citizens? Probably.

Election method of scientific node being by popular vote is boring and I feel does not reflect The antisan role play.

As for specific military building I can see a duel coliseum where people can duel without any penalties and You can reset your cooldowns right after every duel.

Specific building for Divine nodes should be Pve 8 man group can face a horde Mode (Evil creatures) and gain favor by it.

1. Personally i feel like mounted movement feels like ass because of the sidestep. If you could make it so Shift+a/d lets you sidestep and then normal a/d will let you run sideways would feel really nice.

2. How fucking awesome would it be to jump directly on your mount when calling it.
Press "call mount" --> Mount appears --> Start mounting animation in same frame as mount shows up. It would feel so fantasy like to see your character whisteling for a mount that magically appears and then grab the side and drag yourself on in the same frame, with instant forward momentum.

(You could hold Shift or Ctrl to counteract the action, or make it a keybind to jump directly on it.
A - If direct mount, it should spawn on your person. B - If only call mount, it should spawn like it does now, next to you)
People would start using it as an escape in combat and it would be amazing

3. I am a big advocate for being able to personalize your settings and keybinds as much as possible. For example ; free movement can get bothersome, but if you let players have a setting that allows free movement to be activated when holding down either RMB or LMB (LMB would actually be absolutly perfect for this!) would be really cool. Also, to allow players to double bind different keybinds. I cant think of an example right now but i know i have thought of one.

There's good information here already, but if you're curious, there is often good and up-to-date information to be found on the wiki as well! https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Controller_support
