It does look more than fine to me
I didn't see a mammoth so it's not quite there yet.

Re: Gathering Contests and CCable Greens
That's definitely a mechanic that makes a lot of sense for Ashes, really want to see atleast a similar concept implemented.

Why are you back to the topic if you gave your 2 cents on a necroed thread? Admittedly you got nothing relevant to say, as I told you.
Memeing is embarrasimg. Please make some life adjustments.....

Path to Alpha Two Phase III
📢 Alpha Two Update: Phase III will begin on August 26, 2025!
Until then, PTR stays live 24/7, and the Shol realm will continue opening Thursdays–Mondays.
We’re using this time to iterate on the Anvils, improve FTUE, test level 4 nodes, rebalance economy + stats, and more.

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.
