Great job on this list. My favorite idea is allowing gear sets to be crafted past recipe level to make lower level POI sets still viable. To expand I'd like to see them make all POI mob levels match the highest level person in the group and the drops match the level of the person that won it. This would make all POI/mob encounters worth repeating at late stage game play. This also makes all the quests in the game have some meaning after 90% of the player base power levels to 50 ignoring any content. For example, a level 50 player farming grem skins at lionhold would have to fight grems his level making him actually have to compete for the hunted grems with the level 5's out there.

If the overland mobs matched the level of the highest person in the group, let's say that's Level 15, what happens when there's another group there contesting the mob spawns, and their highest person in that separate group is Level 14? The Grem can't be both Level 15 and Level 14.

20 days into the game without reading about the game before or watching youtubes/streams. Friend and I just started playing and this is where I am now. Games to easy imo, we need epic+ to be super rare. 1-50k rate for lego for example. Also the XP needed to level everything from players, weapons, crafts, nodes etc. Everything is at least 100x to LOW , the rates need to go up a lot. But with that said, we need more POI/PVE content to grind on to increase the rates.
Granted I did have to find crafters to make my gear, which took almost just as long as it did to farm the mats to make the gear LOL.
But I still think it should be much much much harder to create even a heroic item let alone a epic/lego item. I want OSRS rates / EQ 1 / SWG . Not WoW raid drop rates.
Just my thoughts.

Somewhat.

Hi Guys, I gathered ideas from multiple people on different classes to try and develop a list of issues we'd like to see improved. We're trying to start a discussion about some of the issues we've seen after doing a solid amount of group PVP (15+ people). Whether you agree or disagree please push the conversation forward so we can continue to make Ashes the best game through our input.

Issues with Combat:
• Change some activated abilities, pressing a button, to be active abilities where you need to try and hit a target in an area of effect. Whether it’s a cone, line, or circle, more skill-based abilities are necessary so gear is not the only factor leading to victory in fights.

• Nerf auto locking abilities across the board (Heals, Damage, Buffs, etc.) so they are less impactful due to ease of use.

• Reduce the visuals of abilities and have clean animations for identification in PVP. It is already hard to see what’s going on in a melee with a group of 8. 100 people PVPing in a small area will be seizure inducing.

• Spell identification – I need to know what’s a friendly and enemy spell.

• Diminishing Returns – Vines should not work perfectly 3 times in a row.

• Dodging I-frames should last the entire dodge roll, excluding jumping at the end to increase distance. Dodging should also be impacted on the gear worn. See gear weight below.

• Active Block needs a better place in the game so other classes will want to use shields. Give us shields with int!

• TTK is excessively quick. Legendary gear should provide a boost to damage, however the levels of gear is on an exponential curve instead of being a gradual increase.

Issues with Gear:
• Gear should have weight and provide benefits based on the pieces you use. Heavy should not be limited to physical users while still providing the same mitigation. However, there needs to be a drawback to using heavy gear as with medium and light. This could be speed or stamina reduction.

• If waterfall stats are the end all be all no one will ever go for anything else. Casting speed isn’t really good if I still only have 250 magic power and go up against a mage with 500 magic power.

• Let players change additional waterfall stats on crafted gear to fit their play style and build. If a heavy piece has con and I change the strength stat, that I would get for crafting the item as legendary, into intellect I should receive stats for mag power, casting speed, healing rating or something of this sort. Could be coming but wanted to mention it.

• Allow gear to be crafted past the recipe level cap. This would allow lower-level POI sets to remain viable at level 50.

I feel like it was a very tasteful part of WoW But Idk I guess it's an out dated taste for immersion I have

It's that it would be immersive in WoW because of what WoW is, storywise.

Whereas in Ashes it would possibly break my immersion, given the lore and background of the world.
