Re: Where is the progress
I love how anytime anyone tries to have a normal discussion about anything the fan boys to a dev team that never released a game before have to come in acting like they're the dev teams white knights here to defend their honor. All the people talking shit to the OP only have assumptions and wishful thinking to go by
The part where someone said they liked ashes realism really made me laugh cause what in this game looks realistic or at least grounded in reality
What about the dragon doesn't look realistic, funny you are trying to call people fan boys in an attempt to discredit as you are also interacting on the forums.
Granted a guess your point is you need to be on the forums and crap on everything about the game to not be a fan boy. And if there is anything good the game does and you say good things you are a fan boy (which is a pretty stupid take)
usually when people want to argue a point, they argue using facts they don't come in calling people sad and putting others down. So if you're not doing some fanboy bs what are you doing?
I'd just ignore that person. I've been posting and reading the forums for several years and I don't think I've ever seen them actually post anything of value lol I have them on ignore so I don't have to waste any time scrolling past their nonsense.

Re: Where is the progress
That dragon is low to not even avarage encounter design IF one has experience of the other MMOs out there. Perhaps this is amazing for some sort of niche pvp MMO players, but for all other MMO players out there this dragon is lower than avarage. Looking nice, but pve-wise nothing we havent seen in other games - better. So I fully agree.visually it looks realistic sure, but animations are horrid, the gameplay for a 2024 world boss is not even close to being up to par, and its not really okay to use the argument '' this is an alpha '' because this world boss, was the EXACT same world boss used 3 years ago, with the exact same mechanics, that intrepid have already got feedback on, most likely the same feedback they have got again on the forums, so why not implement any of it the first time?, was all our previous feedback just scrapped too lol
Feedback: Well, if you tell the potential customers, that you will listen to them during development, you get some sort of engagement (and their money). And you can take this as long as you want to say "iteration - it's done when it's done" to avoid commitments to deadlines and timelines that are usually done in professional and seroius plans and expensive developments with money from other persons.
What they should show their audience is, how this open world encounter will be played if 2-3 groups/guilds play around it / fight against each other. It would be a wipe event consuming a lot, really a lot, of time, and this would not attract players, it would scare them of. But that's the core, that's what the promised target group is like: Fighting in front of a raid boss and wiping due to combination of pve and pvp at the same time, until one group/guild will overwhelm the other group or one group just resigns because its too time consuming and nobody wants to wipe 3h long with 0 progress. No need to add that smaller groups or solo players running around during that event will just bei terminated in seconds without any entertainment. Run around in huge raid groups all the time and you will be a winner (because in this game not everybody will be the winner, as we've heard - well, nobody but only huge groups will win, it's quite simple and trivial).

Re: Quantity of Abilities
I forgot how much fun it is to talk about this stuff.
Im realy thankfull for your imputs guys!
Im definitely warming up to the 20 abilities of AoC.
However i think the Block should be an ability and not a fixed hotkey. I dont know what a block exactly does, but i dont see a ranged dps using it very often
Im curious! If i dont reply timely, im likely sleeping. Its getting late here.
Hope you get home safely!

Yep, I guess I'll have to further explain my point later when I get home.
Even Albion Online with 9 abilities is not enough for me. It's not that it's boring, LoL isn't boring with 4 abilities, but it's something that I dislike, and I'll just have to think about it for a little bit to tell you what that exactly is.

Re: The Verran Army [Semi-RP] [PVX] [Casual to Hardcore] CLOSED
Aye, that sounds brilliant actually.
It's pretty much exactly what I was planning in my head as well. I wanted to have a Naval base in the middle of the ocea, if possible, and then have an ally guild for a land base or something to that effect. you're idea matches mine pretty much perfectly.
Yeah, I've been noticing this as well. I'm used to recruiting for games that exist haha. My FFXIV guild was like 500 strong and same with my Destiny clan and WoW guild lol. Just need to change my expectations lol

I think that our guilds could benefit each other, will you be playing in the alpha or beta?
I'll be in the Alpha and Beta. Impatiently waiting for the 25th lol..
But yeah, let me know what you were thinking. I'm up for lots. I need to find members first though XD
I wouldn't worry about growing right now. These spaces exist mostly for hardcore players to advertise their guilds, as casual players aren't really looking for that with the game so far out, and most RP minded players don't exist yet, as enough lore does not really exist yet.
I'm just waiting for the game to go live, do some person to person recruitment, actually talk to people and interact in the world so that I can get a vibe check in haha.
Basically, build it and people will come.

Re: [NA] Knights of Shadowhawk | PvX | EST | Casual/Competitive | Player Friendly | Player Focused
It's Q3 and the possibility of Alpha 2 keys becoming available was announced. Even if you've been on the fence or are just recently getting into Ashes and are in search of a guild and forever home for gaming, stop by our discord to check us out and ask about KoS!

It is basically a game for older people, it will not attract young people used to action combat. There is nothing new in this game and there is no innovation, everything is copy and paste from classic games.
Basically game made for older people. Niche game. So don't expect something modern like NW or Souls style.
It already has unlocked camera and cursor targeting, so what leads you to think it won’t keep those aspect of action combat? The feel of it in general is very ‘action-y’ even though it uses locked targeting for most abilities, which is a good thing to keep players engaged with what’s going on in the game world rather than their UI.
Also, it’s not a game made for older players with lives, because the time commitment required by its systems is tuned to an audience that can comfortably no-life it, aka teenagers and young adults, maybe retired adults which definitely exist but they’re not a large demographic playing MMOs. Even more than most MMOs Ashes will penalize you for a lack of game time.
There is nothing innovative about this game, as I said, it is a sieve of classic MMOs. The combat is hybrid according to Steven and Intrepid, but 95% is tab target, they changed the direction of the combat 2 years ago to adopt it more to classic MMO combat, something that I did not like.
I repeat, it is a niche game, for players 35+ years old, not for teenagers or young people, they will try it but they will not last even 1 week, that is most likely. Even Steven mentioned that the game will not please many, he is not making a modern game that will revolutionize the genre, NW already did it, but it failed in its content, something that many current MMOs fail at.
Modern MMOs share the action combat because that is how it is, games evolve. Steven is creating a classic MMO with more updated graphics. Nothing new.
