    All of my friends are degenerate gamers who have been burned over and over by the likes of SWTOR, ESO, NMS, and the list goes on. They are all waiting for me to come back with feedback from alpha and beta, and will wait till launch. I might be able to get one to come in for beta depending on when they offer testing packages, but right now they all are waiting to LOL at me when I get burned and they don't for taking another chance on a hype train.

    PAX will really help sway a lot of people's opinion since many - like my partner- refuses to be interested until he sees "proper" combat. The pve and pvp player experiences at PAX will give many a wee sample of what to expect with Ashes which is so exciting :3 
    Will be interesting to hear lots of player feedback :D
    I hope to see many many new face during and after PAX xD

    My friends were burned by several games in the past few years and refuse to take a chance. All I get from them is "if it is good when it comes out I will join."

    Of course that is a good argument and probably the most rational way to approach any game. I mean Mass Effect 3 and then 4...

    IS will do their best and I will likely enjoy Ashes anyways. If they happen to nail it my friends will come in droves.

    Wait untill PAX, then start talking about it to your buddies. Because atm its a "like what you see or not". After PAX it will be easier to show some stuff to your friends than just the trailer where they will just say; "well the graphics are nice but will the game be good"

    PAX is going to make or break the hype for this game. I have some friends who are on the fence so I hope AoC kills it with awesome gameplay...also, I don't want to think that I made a poor decision funding this game haha...

    Yeah I also hope my 50$ is not for nothing. If so, guess I'll keep playing guild wars 1 and 2 @Aguasatori

    I wonder if it would have been better to sample short vids of individual skills and animations as they progress.
    1. It keeps the playerbase upto date, informed and happy as a consequence.
    2. Intrepid gets lots of snippets of feedback to help steer future skills as they work on them.
    3. There is no nuke effect.

    I see the PAX release as an all of nothing way for garnering feedback and that has the potential to be explosively good ....or bad. The fact its Pre Alpha, specific to PAX and subject to change and is essential a test to gain combat feedback will be lost on many. All they will see is what AoC combat will/would/should be in the devs eyes.

    Step 1: Kidnap them.
    Step 2: lock them in a room with only a computer and ashes of creation access on it.
