Re: Make Guards attack people during Node Wars.
Game mechanics and what has happend in other games aside - it is really weird that node guards don't fight back against people they are supposed to be at war with. Guards are not police - but even police are expected to fight back in the event of an invasion.
In my opinion, they should fight back simply because that is what makes sense. With that in mind, you build the system around this. It would mean that if you want to take a node war to the rival nodes actual town, then you need to bring a large force. If you find yourself in a node war and are not in said large force, you don't go inside the town you are at war with.

Re: How to fix the EXTREME server drop off we are experiencing.
As one of those in the "left behind" group, even I don't agree with that one, sorry.
They just need to ease party restrictions so you can still play with your friends of any level and not be punished for it.

Re: How to fix the EXTREME server drop off we are experiencing.
I don't like the idea of locking independent progression behind the progress of the server population.
I would rather have a brutal leveling curve to struggle against than 4-6k people acting like anchors that slow me down.
I personally, don't see the issue though. I have group and solo grinded hard on different characters and there are trade offs. Group is faster xp most of the time, but less drops. Solo can be slower xp, but you get all the drops.
I think if I wanted to make an alt I would not have a problem capping.

Re: Gathering Rarity
Having tried to piece together the formulas myself it is cool to see someone have better luck in deciphering the Gathering logic- specifically the intention behind the dual roll system.
Thanks for the awesome resource!

Re: Grinding Spots
I second this idea points of interest should be pvp flagged. I am so sick and tired of the only thing I can do to compete for a mob spawn is go red. Its even worse when I am trying to farm something in my node an there is a non citizen in my way that I cant do anything about but go red.
Re: Major Graphic Upgrade Needed.
Once again "graphics" is equated to "style". Those are not the same thing.1970merlin wrote: »I think is needs to be more colorful and have more style.
Indeed.
One of my pet peeves is people not knowing what it is they are complaining about.
Ashes has a specific feel to the art style. The world itself has a kind of gritty realism to it. This is the style Intrepid were aiming for, and the quality of the graphics within that style are actually really quite good.
That specific style may not be to everyones taste, but that is no different to how WoW's graphic style isn't to everyones taste, or Breath of the Wild had a graphic style that wasn't to everyones taste.

Re: Major Graphic Upgrade Needed.
Maybe upgrade your machine so you can play on better graphics settings. My game looks beautiful 
Re: Grinding Spots
Best places will be contested but I am hoping there will be plenty of locations by virtue of quite expansive lands. Want the best location, you will have to compete. Want a peaceful existence, go live in the country side or side with a strong guild!
