Glorious Alpha Two Testers!

We are in the Alpha Two Phase II testing which will take place 5+ days each week.

Alpha Two testing is scheduled to happen daily until January 13, 2025 at 10PM PT. We will have periods of downtime for hotfixes and daily restarts happening at 2 AM PT for NA realms, and 2 CET for EU realms.

Starting next week, Alpha Two realms are scheduled to be online for 5+ days a week from Thursdays at 10 AM PT to Mondays at 10 PM PT. Alpha Two realms are planned to be down on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and for daily restarts. Alpha Two realms will also be brought down as updates and fixes are ready.

You can download the game launcher here and we encourage you to join us on our Official Discord Server for the most up to date testing news.

How far is too far for movement abilities?

in Ashes of Creation Systems and Mechanics
Some classes are bound to have abilities which allow them to travel some distance, whether its a teleport, jump or dash. The question is, what should this distance be? Each class should have a distance reflective of the role (assuming they get one) but when does it go from utility to something that they shouldn't have access to?
For example, as of right now, the fighter has the ability charge. If the ability range is too small its not practical but if its too far it would be unbalanced.
So, for you, how far is too far?

    Difficult to answer without a clearer context of course, but nice question. I'd probably go for 20-25m max? Whatever you use for such distances, the ranged classes would need a significant raise on distance so I suppose it should modify based on their max range abilities but we don't know yet. Anyway, guessing I'd say up to 25m is fine.

    I agree it's difficult to answer :) I feel alpha and betas are good to help work out the right balance for skills like these :)
