Best Of

Thought this thread was dead. Here's the wiki for anyone who hasn't seen it yet.

There WILL forms of "fast travel". Too much is still missing from the game to say if anything more than the planned systems will be needed. But even these planned systems can be tweaked to strike that right balance. The family summons should be out in P3. So that'll be fun to test.

I'm tend to lean towards no fast travel at all. Feet, mount, ships, airships, ect only. I would be for a 'training' option for your mount to teach it routes so I could afk travel from point A to B (with pvp risks of course).

Anyways I guess my point is it's a little early to worry too much about the fast travel systems being too much or too little.

That is an idea I could get behind.

I'm personally all for not having any randomness in the games reward structure outside of optional enchanting.

So, I admit I had to lookup the term gamba and as you might suspect, it is just a different expression of gamble, that said, I could see repeatable quests/missions have some form of extra chance at something better but one time only quests/missions should maintain a standard format of fixed reward (maybe adjusted for archtype).

That would be peak. It gives a node "practice" for wars and keeps things lively in the event that a server is unwilling to attack a particular node. At a point before I stopped playing TnL our guild got a bit too strong and other guild would dodge fighting us over rift and boonstones which took a bit of the fun out for me, so I can see the benefit to such content. On top of that in would be a pve loop that requires a bit more effort along with stakes. Could be a good way to get pve players more into the pvp side if that makes sense. I think If it was a guaranteed event once you're node reached a certain level that you had to experience at least once before another node could declare on you. I'm just yapping at this point tho. Great idea.

I dunno, seemed kinda jerky. I think the feel of mount-riding in Ashes would be fixed simply by making them a touch faster, and increasing the duration of Dash.

I came back to Ashes yesterday for the Pawkets quest, and the mounts felt wooden as hell. CO's horses felt alive. The active movement, the animations, the sounds and, yeah, the speed too. But just adding speed to Ashes mounts won't do shit. They'll still feel wooden.

So I just hope that the future passes on the mounts will get us much closer to an "alive" feeling.

the size too , like an actual horse not a pony

Bard has this already in a way as well. The game will highlight abilities depending on your talents and what melody you are playing.
