Visible Deities

edited June 2017 in Ashes Of Creation General Discussion
We know there are 10 Gods for the world of ashes. 5 kinda good 5 kinda not so good. In the world there is corruption and within all of us there is some form of corruption that can be tugged at. Are the Gods pulling these strings? I'm assuming the Gods created the word or migrated to the new world with us. Maybe some are old world and some are new world?
Anyway if these Gods are visible how do you all think we will see them? 
I would like to see them in a different manner rather than just fighting them in dungeons or as world bosses.
Maybe depending on who we support we see them as visual guides in our mind.
Time to speculate!

    Though I know it's not really what you mean, the only way they've mentioned that I can think of regarding how you would be able to see your God is through the shrine system.  But, I think it would be cool if there was some kind of visible spirit representation in the game as well.  Or maybe even a voice that speaks to you depending on how high your devotion level is.

    I agree about fighting them.  I would rather not see the Gods be encounter based, and am hoping it's more of a lore based part of the game.

    I like the idea that some of the gods travel the world in corporeal form, interacting in some manner or another. More than that I think it would be cool if agents and avatars are also part of divine interactions in the religions and the world.

    Instead of just seeing Gwythyr, god of justice, you might see an avatar of justice or his personal agent, Gorthor The Magnificent! There is a lot that could be explored with the pantheons.

    As long as they don't pull a Zeus and change into things just to get laid!

    Sort of a ghostly, ephemeral aspect that follows you around? So, like, if you built your character as evenly as possible (good v corrupt) would you have one on either side tryin' to pull you their way? The old "angel on the shoulder" thing?

    Ya, that's a thing I hope the devs DON'T try to emulate... :wink:

    Ask for a god and I shall appear ^^

    joking aside I think that's a great summary of the gods in this game, but I have a feeling it's going to be more like the god in D&D as the game seems to share a lot with the foundation on that. such as all good have good and bad point but it's more like a moral compass like this

    Any way they try to do it, I'm excited about the whole god system.  No other MMO that I played had anything like that except for Runescape and I always liked that idea.  I hope they really have one that appeals to me.

    I believe they might show up in different forms, sometimes in form of elements, and perhaps sometimes in some kind of humanoid form. They are deities so it is likely that they can change how they appear to us.

    Perhaps high personal investment in religion will give you ability to see them more often.

    I had been thinking one of the gods is responsible for turning murderers into corrupted.
