I am upset that people belittle voices asking for attractive and distinct female outfits, male copy paste. Valid feedback. Once again the monthly design it's just a copy paste. Nothing to do with realistic. Nothing to do with the whole "no to bikini armor".
Dont try to twist my words.
I didn't twist your words... what are you even talking about at this point? It's a discussion people have back and forths and will express different opinions. Period.
I could do without your last 2 posts and nothing would change. You added nothing. You stated the obvious, and managed to contradict yourself.
I'm not here to appease you. I've been consistant with my statements however you've added absolutely zero to this discussion and just devolved into complaining about others opinions.
So, please continue to complain and add nothing of value, I'm done with this "conversation".

Re: Shortbows, really
I find it pretty annoying in general you simply cannot find specific physical / magic weapons in the starting area. It has been like that for basically 3 Alpha phases.
Gathering Contests and CCable Greens
This topic has been brought up again by some people in some places, so I wanted to lay out my alternative suggestion in a full thread.
I've suggested it in a few other places now, but I think the issue with "CCable greens to contest gathering" is easily solvable by just having an interrupt mechanic in the active process of gathering. You see someone gathering a rare mat? You can run up to it, start gathering it yourself and you'll have an option to stop the other gatherer's process.
This action
And now the initial gatherer has a choice:
CD on the interrupt ability itself would need to be tested of course, but I think that matching it to the average CD of CCs across all archetypes would be fine, cause that'd be the reality of "CCable greens" approach.
To me, that sounds like a competitive PvX interaction w/o all the bs that would 100% come with a return to CCable greens.
Obviously this doesn't change the PvE mob grind side of contests, but that's a whooooole separate question of "when in the hell are we getting proper PvE in Ashes?".

This action
- flags you up for pvp
- puts a cd on the other gatherer's ability to gather this particular resource vein (could be just a few seconds)
- prevents you from gathering the resource in that same interaction
- you still gotta restart your own gathering process after this
And now the initial gatherer has a choice:
- they can do the same to you and flag up
- they can CC you and initiate full pvp
- they can move on
- they can call for someone to come and remove you through pvp if they see that you plan on interrupting them more

Shortbows, really
Little digging why its not in the starting area. IS wants them to feel special and earned doen the line. I dont agree.
This is the best weapon for Bards and to play mana battery its the best option. Its really sad that...
I can't start with the weapon of choice, so when I get one latter my effectiveness will be lower then the classes that get to start with their optimal weapon.
IMO it just a frustration. It can have a scalled down version for the starting area just like every other weapon.

Re: Female Expression In AoC
My wife keeps saying her mage is frumpy and wants to be more like in the wheel of time Asidie. Flowing dress as she blinks her way through the battle field as she rains down distraction.
I have to say as a male, the male avatars and armor is just meh.

Re: No EU server for phase 3...
There will now be both a US and EU server for the start of Phase III. From Steven:
Happy Saturday Glorious Testers,
As an update, we will be starting P3 off with two 24/7 realms, Shol (US East) and Lotharia (EU West). We will monitor queue times and server populations to determine if more are necessary and keep you informed through our normal communication channels. During the first few weeks of P3 start, we expect to conduct significant testing with the dynamic gridding systems in order to further harden the technology. This may result in scheduled tests where populations from both servers are asked to assist by creating characters on the opposite realms, as well as further scheduled testing in the PTR environment. With the very large update that P3 brings to Ashes, the team will be reacting quickly to issues that may be discovered in the first few weeks of P3. Please make sure to report any bugs, exploits or bad behavior so our team can identify and respond.
Updates regarding advanced download times will be given on Monday morning Pacific time.
Your help with the PTR testing over the past few months for P3 has been instrumental in addressing issues before they have a chance to reach the live testing environment. ❤️
See you Tuesday!

Re: Woodchips can't be made
Wood chips are made when you make timber. 1 log --> 1 timber + some wood chips (i don't remember how many). I made some yesterday, of both heroic and rare varieties

like as soon as all of that BS started failing and stuff started getting back to normal Overwatch for example the game thats been putting out BS for years changed to save themselves , heck as soon as rivals came out they started releasing hot characters and showering them with skins and lately released a statement that they will focus on putting out well in short "hot characters" and basically cut the well as they put it "quirky" stuff they been putting out and killing their game with.
eitherway no wonder you are deluded thinking your type of ideas are the popular one lmfao
You sure about that?

You aint foolling me, i saw what you up to from the start, you guys are very obvious to catch plus your gaslight doesnt work on me at all btw sorry to tell you that.
Overwatch? Oh yes a game i havent heard about in ages sure...
Concord? Yeaaah...futuristic themed and cartoonish shooter games arent my type of game. (again your attempt failed miserably)
I also love to hear people like you talking about "the modern audience" 🤣 flash news for you and the ones alike you, females/trans/homos (oh yes and people who have a different shade/tone of color than you...), we been playing games since ever, since we were kids, so there isnt much of a "modern audience" (i mean in the distorted way you want to put it...) since we already existed. Also your nuances of mansplaining aka Misogyny been showing.
