Re: Stat Calculations
Im fine with let’s tell 10-20% of opacity. Giving 100% of the detailed formulas is risking to have the exact same builds over and over.
So I don’t think devs should reveal everything.
Different builds shine in different places. I would not expect to find a one build performs top everywhere.
It’s clear that builds are situational we agree on that. But it doesn’t change anything to me statement.

Re: Stat Calculations
Im on the immersion side here. Give enough but not to much.
If i need all that info to beat raids its no longer a game, its a math problem.

Re: Stat Calculations
If the calculations are opaque, it's not just a question of complicated math. Even if the maths is complicated, there will always be guides to tell you what to do.
It's also because the devs themselves don't arrive at the expected results.
So leaving a margin of opacity gives devs the means to correct inconsistencies and bugs before players discover the problems and exploit them.
Devs should also be allowed to make unofficial updates and do their job as devs. Anyone who wants to know the game's code should join Intrepid.

Re: Stat Calculations
Take it from me - min/maxers are not using that information without checking it.
I've yet to see a single game where the provided information on how stats and such work is 100% accurate. What min/maxers do is check that what they are saying is what is actually happening.
Also, they only way there won't be a meta supplied by min/maxers is if all builds are basically equally viable.

My two cents is that having all of that specific information is just not very useful ... right now.
Unless those stats and systems are specifically what is being tested, there is no need to make it fully transparent. The numbers and relationships between those numbers are not just something that could change; they are something that will change. Even if there ends up being any form of transparency, I'd much rather have it in Beta.

Native Linux support may be possible in future.

i really hope the anticheat is compatible with proton. if its EAC, just tick the box please. its so difficult to find a proper answer on these forums when searching as each post is full of clueless linux haters derailing the conversation.

Re: Bard Gambit should do Mana swap not HP
I agree and I don't. I think it should be an augment that changes it from hp to mana.
Augment or skill path—I totally agree. It shouldn't be the default, and this approach would create more build diversity. Additionally, when facing a Bard in PvP, you'd need to account for the possibility of both, which would greatly increase the skill ceiling.

Re: What Would Your Dream Festival in Ashes of Creation Look Like?
Festivals should happen after successfully surviving a siege and rebuilding defenses to a certain degree. Also during rl Christmas.
Drinks should make characters feel drunk a bit longer than usually.
NPCs should celebrate too.
I really like the idea of festivals being tied to significant in-game events, like surviving a siege and rebuilding the defenses. It would give the celebrations a deeper meaning, serving as a well-earned reward for players' efforts and resilience. And having NPCs join in on the festivities would make the world feel more alive and dynamic, really driving home the idea that everyone—players and NPCs alike—is part of the community.
This would create a festival experience that’s not only fun but also rooted in the game’s lore and player achievements. Thanks for sharing such a thoughtful idea!

I had already suggested this back then at another time, right ? It should indeed be an Option if some People are so inclined to have it. Make it so that People - (who have most likely not bought any Pre-Order Cosmetics) - can decide for themself if they want to be able to "see" the Comsetics of other Players.
Then we will have most likely salty Topics like " Look here !! Dygz's/Hinotories/Aszkalons/etc.'s true Looks of their Characters " or so : when they make Screenshots of whatever Cosmetics our Characters wore at the time being deactivated.
Because i have truly the impression of these slightly bitter and salty Vibes here. No Gen-Z-pun intended. Maybe if that Option would be withheld, it should be withheld only so to increase the butthurt more of everyone who would hate to see Cosmetics on someone else.
