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 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.

Is it though? Honestly if I were in charge of PR at Intrepid and I saw this trailer I would tell them to not show it at all. From the comments I've seen on youtube and twitter this trailer has done more to confuse people than anything else, which is the complete opposite of what you want from a trailer.

@Nagash I guess we are seeing different, things then. The KS videos were nicely polished and definitely looked better than this one if you want to compare. Perhaps they should have taken more care to produce the video in better quality, but quite honestly I would rather see something raw than a polished advert that does not really tell me anything.

Blast

its progress ill take it lol

For an official IGN release teaser, where everyone who has not followed ashes can see it? If I was not invested in ashes, I would not have given this a second look. At least the Kickstarter videos got me to look into ashes and in the end back it, all this does it put me off even more.

Highly disappointing.
Too many white humans.
I would much rather see diversity among the characters they are highlighting than to see a bunch of highly detailed mobs.
I hate being stuck playing white people.

Why just why did they release this video and then call it a gameplay trailer? Gameplay? Oh dear...

It would have been okay to show it to the community by stream or blog. We know where those raptors, horses, dragon and so on come from. We've read the blogs and seen the videos. The video isn't impressing but it would have been fine for a summary of last weeks/months work to show to the community. But officially presenting it as a gameplay trailer during Gamescom will drive so many people away. There's absolutely nothing in this video that would make me take a look at Ashes. Such an overhasty decision to put everything of the last blogs in a video and think it would make for an appealing trailer.

Exactly, combined with the Steam reviews which were absolutely foreseeable this all leaves such a bad impression. Couldn't have worse marketing :'(

If they did that I will immediately start a petition to get refunds from the kickstarter.

Yep. That is why I said to many white Humans instead of just too many white people.
Kinda the same for Apoc. I'd like to at least see some statues of Dwarves and Orcs in addition to statues of Humans and Orcs

Well, the official title of the vid is: Ashes of Creation MMORPG Teaser
It is nice to see horse riding and the dragons look awesome. As do the environments around the buildings.
That teaser would have me more interested in playing Ashes than anything I've seen from Pantheon or CoE.
Especially, if it were my first introduction to the IP.

I'm disappointed by the lack of diversity because they should have been working on character models for 2+ years already. I expect them to be farther along on that than they are.
Especially, a year after Apoc.

The old videos are so much better

Only just realized I've only seen the IGN version of the teaser which differs from the Intrepid one.

Yeah, the new trailer is uninspired. If I had seen that and not been keeping up with Ashes for a bit I would give it a pass or at least a "meh lets see what it looks like when it comes out." and then not even looked into it more unless I saw a release date or something much more polished and interesting.

I'm also confused why they didn't have any siege footage in there if they are rehashing stuff, that would have at least caught some peoples attention, especially people coming from MMOs like DAoC.
