Bunny hopping

In Sea of Thieves - i call it MONKEY jumping !!

And G~OOOOOOOOOOOOOSH is it ugly. .



I can understand your wish to limit jumping around. The Idea that it drains Stamina bit by bit every single time is not wrong. The Question is how quick it should prevent People from jumping around.

lets remove the idea that its immersion breaking or theres an rp reason or some other crap. Do you really want to be stuck in a spot like a crevasse or maybe you fell into a cluster of rocks, and you have to wait for stamina to hopefully spam jump out?

Come on, this is silly. leave spam jumping alone.

Edit: This change would also most likely make climbing feel like crap assuming jumping and traversing terrain are one and the same. instead of just climbing the terrain you get to have "fun" standing there every few seconds waiting for stamina.

Jumping is fine, great, and expected in a rpg to be able to do.
Spam jumping while swinging a heavy 2h sword is ridiculous. More so when you can, what looks to me from the video be able to change direction mid air while moving around, in combat while being hit.

I don't even care if there is just a graphically different movement displayed besides the hopping that gives the same movement bonus. this is entirely about looks and the hops are awful.

Remember they changed melee combat in A1 because of how most testers felt the lack of impact.

I did notice the bunny hopping, hopefully can be resolved if they add a dodge roll.

Hello everyone. I do not know if pvp jumping was discussed here, I stopped going to the forum a long time ago, I only watch presentations on twitch and videos on YouTube. Every time I watch a pvp video in ashes of creation on YouTube, absolutely all players click the space button. As a result, there are 10-20 people on the screen who jump endlessly, all the players just press space space space. It looks really bad((

Another moment on the schedule. I would like to see a darker fantasy, so to speak, otherwise everything is so rosy. But it's not critical. As it turned out, so it will be..

I strongly disagree with removing boss and monster drops entirely.

Ashes is aiming for a balance where crafting is essential and meaningful, but removing all gear drops would strip away a huge part of the excitement in PvE content. Looting a powerful weapon or rare item from a tough boss is part of what makes MMOs fun and memorable, it’s a reward for risk and effort, not just a gear treadmill.

Crafting in Ashes will already play a major role in best-in-slot and progression systems, especially with how augments, enchantments, and enhancements work. But forcing everyone into professions by making leveling unbearable? That would feel punishing and take away player agency. Some people enjoy crafting, others enjoy hunting bosses, the game should support both.

Balance, not restriction, is the key here.

"On a scale of 1–5, how would you rate the current quest rewards in Alpha Two? (1 = Very poor, 5 = Excellent)"
I'd give this a 2, I don't think all the quest rewards are bad, but I do feel like a lot of the quests that are available now are not completely worth doing in their current state.

"How would you describe the current quest rewards in Alpha Two? What’s working well, and what could be improved?"
I think there needs to be a deeper focus on making sure the quests are functional (I usually spend most of my time each phase reporting questing bugs) and the work vs reward from quests. Some of the early quests feel better tuned these days, but at level 10, there's no point in me running half way across the current world for 1-2 green glint and 3k XP when soloing mobs would net me way more xp and rewards in less time.

"In your opinion, what makes for engaging and fair quest rewards in a game like Ashes of Creation that features an economy-driven PvX system?"
I think that there needs to be a heavy XP incentive. The glint rewards are fine, but if you want players to commit to quests, at least make them more worth while than the alternative, which is just grinding. I WANT to quest more and care about the lore of Verra. But at bare minimum, I need the XP reward to be much fatter than it is now to get me to do that. If quests gave way more XP, players would feel better leveled/equipped to go out and defend themselves as needed when they do the crafting/gathering/life skilling to make their currency/contribute to the economy.

"Roughly what percentage of your leveling experience do you feel should come from questing compared to other activities (e.g., grinding, gathering, events)?
Less than 25%, 25–49%, 50–74%, 75% or more
Why did you choose that percentage?
What helps you feel connected to a game world, and what could Ashes of Creation do to feel more immersive and dynamic?"
I think if you really want to encourage players to do the quests and care about the questing, 50% would get the PvE players that don't mind questing to buy in and somewhere in the ballpark of 80% to get the players that don't care about questing and would rather grind. The character level XP from crafting/gathering is pretty abysmal, so I wouldn't consider that a viable method of leveling (the artisan levels are grindy enough).
I can appreciate if quests are going to send me across the world to see the sights and come across events on my travels, but the main reason I'm doing the quests is so I can level and not have to grind the same level 7 zone for 8 hours so I can go move to a level 11 zone for another 14 hours. Questing to level allows me to do the quests, unlock more of my abilities, become stronger, so then I can feel more confident joining in the immersive and dynamic events that are happening. Currently, I stick to a grind spot and if I do decide to do a quest, I purposely ignore a lot of things on my way there and back because I'm most likely alone and I know I'm just going to get killed and lose XP and items.
