Re: DPS Meter Megathread
I mean, all of this is why I said the reason for not having trackers was simply bullshit.
@Xeeg
It sucks man. The worst part is, as far as you and Intrepid know, there is no means for you to prove you are a good enough player to come along. You were rejected based on a number that has little to do with your ability to play the game.
Well to be fair, i probably suck too. Haven't had a ton of pvp experience yet due to a variety of factors. Part of the reason i keep bitching is because i could do pvp all day and for a pvx game im def spending the vast majority of my time on the pve thing.

Camera look speed is SLOW
Hey,
Can we please get a setting to increase camera look speed? If you compare to other mmo's the difference is very high

EDIT: Temporary fixed this by lower win sens and increase dpi. But it would be good to have a setting for this ingame.

Re: guard system sucks
Yeah, and then 10% of your players would find a way to turn it to shit while complaining all the way that it wasn't even worse.
That's just how it is for the PvP MMO genre, not because 'most PvP enjoyers want the game to be shit', but because the 10% that do want that are relentless just like the extreme carebears.
The difference (or what used to be one) is that those relentless people can almost always find someone to sneak the shit into the game in the name of 'competition'. Sound familiar?
Don't go burning money on garbage.

Save weapon
They could make it so the weapon could be stored on the back, it would give it a nicer touch.

Re: SPEAR/WEAPON LEVELING
I wonder from time to time if we will be possible to play with a shield and a spear or maybe even a second one handed weapon in the off hand , not from the beggining ofcourse but at least when you start out with the spear or 1h sword as you level up the weapon you would be able to get the spear 1 handed and use a shield with it and also with the 1 h sword to dual wield 1h swords?
Yeah, at the moment dual wielding is confirmed but limited. For Alpha Two, it's mainly focused on Rogues with daggers. Intrepid has said they want to expand weapon combinations later, but there’s no official confirmation yet for spear and shield or dual 1H swords. It’s something they might explore as development continues.

Re: The logic behind Tank’s name
Yes noaanni I’ve only seen healer as the generic term, thanks for your reply
Re: Why Exclusive Flying Mounts Will Destroy a PvP-Driven Game Long Term
"it negatively affects immersion, the thrill of exploring, and the feeling of moving independently through the world."
Spot on, I've ALWAYS enjoyed this and throughout all of the MMO's I've played over the years I prefer to explore thoroughly with my feet on the ground no matter how long it takes

Re: Character Names
I would love this kind of potential for immersion. I also believe names should not be unique, as they are not in real life, but Ashes won't be able to do that because of name reservations. Too bad.
Still, I would love the ability to have a first and last name, as well as an optional nickname. That would be awesome.

Re: More rpg elements pls.
I would love so much to work for a game company like Intrepid, to shape and bring the world of Verra to life with all kinds of unique places. I truly hope this is planned.
Imagine inns styled like Stormwind, placed in remote corners of the map to offer shelter and rest to traveling adventurers. Mansions, towers filled with monsters and trinkets, chests spawning randomly with various rewards... The game already provides amazing atmospheres, so creating places filled with charm and history would be truly fantastic.
Currently, there's mostly bestiary and humanoids scattered everywhere, but I already really enjoy the points of interest. However, what I would truly love to see in the coming years are RPG elements taking over Verra.
Being able to sit at a tavern table, enjoying a cozy atmosphere... I know many features are being prepared, but bringing back the importance of "RPG" is essential, and it's something that has been lost a lot in recent years.
So yeah, a world shaped with charming places, exploration, ancient ruined cities like the ones we already have, but with furniture and lore. And I would love to be able to create them myself.
I would just love to help them make maps and all the little details. I love modding for games and adding beautiful landscapes and getting all the little details and easter eggs right. I had made a mod in skyrim adding an entire city for forsworn for me and my friends with a cave system for the witches. Gosh I miss doing that
