Re: Gathering Contests and CCable Greens
What I didn’t mention earlier is that there should be a timer and a distance leash, if you wander far enough or just idle without and don't even gathering or win a duel then you lose the claim and you are locked out the resource.
Additionally, maybe people should be able to claim only one resource at a time.
Correct, that's how I envision it, a softer pvp for gatherers and if they can't fight each other under a certain amount of time then they both lose maybe.
Yes, they are tied to that resource and other people should find another resource and go claim other resource. When you are just putting people into purple then they can cover all the resources around them, but if you claim one resource you get tied to that one.
I agree on refusal prevents them from gathering.
If you spam claims but don’t win a fight or successfully gather, your timer runs out and you get locked out of the resource, just as if you had lost a duel for the claim.
So:
Additionally, maybe people should be able to claim only one resource at a time.
By "trigger a duel", do you mean "immediate pvp where only the 2 people can fight each other and there's no death penalties to the loser"?Arya_Yeshe wrote: »But if someone else comes along and tries to claim the same resource, it would trigger a duel.
Correct, that's how I envision it, a softer pvp for gatherers and if they can't fight each other under a certain amount of time then they both lose maybe.
And if that's the case, then the main problem I see with this is that the second claimant would not be able to be removed from the premises by other people, so they'd be able to bully lowbies easily, while also not flagging up at all.

If you mean "both immediately flag up purple" - that sounds abusable as fuck.
And if it's an "initial claimant gets a duel challenge and can choose whether to accept" (refusal prevents them from gathering), then I could definitely foresee groups of people spamclaiming stuff even though they won't even collect it. And if it's a highbie group in a lowbie zone - that's a complete lockout on resources with no intent on collecting them, which, to me, sounds horrible.
I agree on refusal prevents them from gathering.
If you spam claims but don’t win a fight or successfully gather, your timer runs out and you get locked out of the resource, just as if you had lost a duel for the claim.
So:
- Claim and you can claim only one resource at a time
- Keep gathering until your claim timer runs out, then the claim ends and can claim it again
- If others claim the same resource, a duel starts
- If you refuse the duel, the resource gets locked for you
- If you wander too far, it's treated like losing a duel, the resource gets locked for you
- Win a duel and a few seconds are added to your claim timer

You already have it, go download.I would love access to the download. Even if we needed to patch on the 26th with any past min updates.

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
