Thoughts on the new gameplay teaser?

Just want to know what you guys think about the teaser, it was alright to me seeing it wasn't a cinematic at least ! Would have liked to see maybe some different armors or weapons than the ones in apoc.

I appreciated it but because they posted it on IGN, I wish it was a better. Kind of feels like they rushed it out for gamescom. It's sad because I thought some parts looked really good but others brought it down.

I'm going to be a little critical here.

For the first part: The raptor models looked really good but it felt weird that raptors were attacking the city. If they really wanted to show them off, i wish they had the adventurers go into the wilderness and be attacked there. Maybe tack on a scene where a large, boss type monster shows up at the end to give it that epic PVE feel.

For the second part. I wish they had people manning the walls, shooting arrows and spells, instead of a small group run out on horses. I think it would have been better if they showed people charging the castle on horses with the griffons. I felt like they needed a little more time with the dragon. They body and texture looks really good but it wings looked too pointy which made it look awkward when it was flying. Flying animation probably could have been cleaned up too.

I showed this to a friend who was interested in ashes and he said and I quote "you just saved me a lot of money" and I have to agree if this is the MMORPG teaser then we are boned

@mcstackerson Yea I felt the same way, I thought it looked great but to me the raptors felt out of place. I imagine them in some kind of deep tropical forest or something. Maybe that's just me, I also felt it seemed a bit rushed too. I still appreciate it though ! It looked great, I just thought that the raptors randomly attacking the city was pretty odd.. along with the sharp angled wings of the dragon, it didn't feel like it had much flow flying. I loved the animation though where it landed atop the gate, that was great!

I'm hoping it was just another gameplay / insight trailer for fun. The game isn't going to even be out until around 2021 I thought right? So I'm hoping this was just a little thing to show off the new dragon and raptors. All the armors and stuff looked like the ones from APOC so I wasn't thrilled about that. I do have to agree with you though haha! I'm sure this isn't a trailer for the game though or anything, hopefully more just to show off new stuff they've made.

this is a public teaser to sell the game and look at the like to dislikes the game is in trouble. I wish I could get a refund for this tragedy at this point

Yea I haven't invested into it or anything but I was very hopeful. I can't understand why they're putting stuff like this together. They should just work on the game, everything shown in the trailer was seen already to my knowledge. It just looks like a bunch of player models from apoc around in a town with players adorning the armor we've seen in apoc already, along with the horses we've seen and the raptors annd the dragon. It's definitely making me lose some hope to see this, even with the improvements on backend on apoc.

Agreed.

Just watched it... It was "alright", it was def for gamescon..

Look and Feel: Something felt/feels "off" to me.. Can't quite place my finger on it.. Scaling, animations, something.. They look good, but there is something going on that's weird or not quite right. I use to be able to chalk it up to being in early development, but we are pretty deep now.

The game use to look a lot better, now if feels more mud'ed (my opinion)? To me the game looked better back when they did that first playtest, the mini group adventure.. Up and around the hill, fought some stuff, back down, crossed the river and into the cave.. Did the game design switch from "high fantasy saturated" world to "high fantasy grunge" look?

We see these designs and models of stunning armor and weapons, Fantastic work in 3d (coming from an ex-animator, myself)... But playing Apoc last night, the armor graphics looked "meh" in the world. Maybe because I wasn't set to God graphics setting or something. They also looked "meh" in this trailer... So designed that way Im going to assume? Why ruin such beautiful assets.. :-/

The dragon was cool.. Love dragons.. But why animate a traditional four legged dragon like a two legged wyvern or terradactyl (ie leaning on it's wings for support)? it has four legs after-all.. I know this is nit-picky.. But go watch the first dragonheat movie.. massive difference. /rant

Anyway.. Just my opinions.. There is still tons of time left.. So it will be interesting to see where this all ends up..

Yea I could say a lot about the teaser.. I mean it just wasn't needed... they've rushed something and if you're trying to show this off at gamescom.. no one will really care with the state it's in now. At least compared to everything else. I would have just kept working, especially with the recent test I don't think there's a need to go to gamescom. When the time comes, and there's a finished or close to finished MMORPG product to show then it's time to present it.

I still have hope and believe the game will go in the right direction, I can see they want the promotion and publicity but when you have something this unfinished and unclear presenting it won't do much. You can just check the comments on the youtube video itself, it's a very confusing move to me. Either way there's nothing I can do besides point out the obvious. The animations are way off, nothing new was shown really and that's a blow for a gameplay teaser ..

I... may.... be a bit influenced, but... I would have liked to see some crafting or gathering. XD

Or races, nodes, classes or anything that makes a MMORPG

The game is still far from finished and polished. You people do realize that this is pre alpha footage you don't normally even get to see. I would rather see all the development stages than be left wondering in the shadows for a couple of years whats happening. I really appreciate the fact that they are allowing us to see how these games are made from a scratch. That trailer was made just to show us what kind of progress they have made. It was just a couple weeks ago when that wyvern was 3D-modeled 😅

The video was fine but there was one thing that bothered me so incredibly, that I haven't been able to think about anything else since I saw it.

Why would the gryphon riders dismount to face a charge of light calvary? This makes no sense to me tactically as an airborne unit has a superior advantage. Calvary excels at smashing foot soldiers, so why would a flying mounted unit land, turning themselves into foot soldiers to then engage light calvary?

Wandering Mist

Ok, I've just seen the teaser trailer for the first time and it seems......unfocused. It's looks like someone at Intrepid said "we've done all these animations for random things, let's slam them all together into a trailer and call it a day."

I'm just scrolling down the comments of that video and a lot of people are confused about it. Honestly they would have been better off just showing the Quarrior video than this.

Come on Intrepid, I know you can do better than this.

EDIT: I've just seen the tweet they put out to accompany the teaser:

"Ashes of Creation is an MMORPG set on a fallen world untouched by civilizations for thousands of years. Rebuild, repopulate and rediscover the world of Verra."

Now anyone reading that will probably think "WoW, that sounds amazing" and yet the teaser doesn't reflect that at all. If I had to put a caption to the teaser it would probably be along the lines of:

"Defend your town against the marauding invaders who seek to destroy it. Tame legendary beasts to fight by your side to protect your home."

where in the video did it say alpha? I just looked at it again and nowhere did it say alpha build. This is why people are hating on it

I think everyones expectations are a little too high.

The game is still in Alpha remind yourself of that when you watch a video like this. Its a good start, its more than we have had for many months. What Intrepid need to do is keep this going, improve and keep improving.

why is it a good start? compare this video to the old Kickstarter videos and all I see is a huge steep back
