Will the mages, be able to use skills like telekinesis? [Suggestions Perhaps]

in Ashes Of Creation General Discussion
I've just recently played Dark and Light sandbox MMO, and I was quite surprised that with UE4, mages could really use quite powerful skills - speaking specifically for the Hailstorm in that game and the Telekinesis skill... so I wondered will there be something like that in here? If not could be considered as suggestion? I couldn't find suggestion subforum.

What does the telekinesis looks like - The player is capable to target an object in the world (for example, rock, large stone, even trees) and then lift it up in the air, the whole object (I saw some of the stones on your previous livestream 18.07.2017? Where you created the Metropolis Arena - Well speaking for such object.) And then throw it against a target in the world which does considerable amount of damage...

And for hailstorm - The mage targets certain area in front of him, or around of him, on considerable range (So he doesn't take the effect and the damage from that storm himself/herself)  and makes a shift in the sky, which force snowflakes to start falling increasing with time and becoming a real blizzard... the skill continues until the caster mana runs out... or until the caster himself/herself cancel it.


I think that those two skills are quite amazing and they are all done on UE4, just like your game... and I was thinking perhaps those could be cool skills for Ashes of Creation... So I would like it, if you take it under consideration. I am sure you can add your own twists and improvements to such skills.

    While this does not sound like a mechanic that has been considered based on the limited combat we have seen thus far, I can't rule it out either.

    Mages should be able to do anything :) Maybe except survive a paper cut.

    If Steven has his way I think Mages will do everything!   :)

    I love telekinesis so I would love to see something like that in the game but it would require the enviroment to have movable objects. That works well in games like L&D but I'm not sure if it is possible in AoC that is larger in scale.

    All they would have to do is throw a beer into the crowd and the dwarf would follow.

    Now if you really want to have fun put a keg up for the prize to a ffa match

    Being able to move things like that would be cool as a mage... problem is how to balance it
