What are you most excited for?

At the risk of increase the speed of the Hype Train everybody seems to be on, what system are you guys most excited about? What class seems catches your eye the most?

For me it would have to be the rogue class and the design and aesthetic of the dungeons/raids we have seen so far.

Yes.

I am excited for finally possibly having a better mmorpg. At the moment I play classic wow.

From text base, to board, EQ, vanilla wow, classic, and now possibly ashes.

Might try alpha but kind of don’t want to spoil the future adventures I will have.

In the meantime I will be watching while playing classic and BG3. Waiting for ashes.

Besides the obvious love of seeing people enjoy our hard work, I’m most excited to see the players build different worlds across the different servers.

You need to hold an epic launch day speech!

I'm most excited about the dynamic content and the world constantly changing, including regarding PvE encounters. So seeing new dungeons pop up as nodes level, existing dungeons becoming more difficult, world bosses appearing, new monsters spawns as node levels or season change, etc. Instead of doing the same dungeons and quests day after day, week after week, we'll get different content that should help the game stay fresh and keep the player engaged.

(This dynamic content also seems to be the most difficult thing to pull off from a technical standpoint, so I have my fingers crossed that it goes as smoothly as possible.)

For me it is the way you can travel the world : very few people with temporary flying mounts, and few fast travel. Just the right amount to meet people, discover the world by foot... I love that. Flying mounts and fast travel often destroy open world PvP, fun meetings and world immersion.
I love also that there won't be any Looking For Group system.
I hope they will never add these features to their game.

I usually like talking to the random NPC's and maybe finding little ways they know each other or interact with the story. Side plots and side/secret lore are what I'm excited for. Plus being able to watch others play on different servers and seeing how different it could be.

Getting that sweet rare drop equipment for the first time.

Becoming rank #1 in the 1v1 arena. Hope the duelist class is good!

Animal husbandry: I want to just make weird mounts that are powerful and look good. I think that experimenting to find a good breed of animal is interesting and make mounts more valuable.

open world pvp !

As a person who really like the feel of a world and the players come to life, i really can't wait to see how the RP is going to be built in the community.

I also can't wait to get some gathering and crafting going. Which i normally really do enjoy and take my time with, hopefully at one point being able to help others to built/craft something amazing.

It's hard to say really, I'm excited about EVERYTHING this game has to offer! I suppose for the most part, I'm interested in crafting, which is weird because I've never cared for it in prior MMOs I've played. However, hearing that crafters will actually have a great impact in the game, and you can only master one of them, it gives me hope of being a famed Armorsmith on the server one day, or a Miner who's capable of finding the best of ores; just the possibilities have me really excited on how they'll work it.

Class wise, I've always been a Tank, so I'm more than like going to Tank/Cleric = Paladin it up. Though, the idea of having a Tank/Bard interests me for the potential buffs I can give myself and other frontliners with me. I'm really stoked to see how deep the class system can get, the only time I've seen an MMO even try to give you some flexibility with jobs was FFXI with their subjob system(kind of similar to this actually).

Also-ALSO, I can't wait to hear the stories people have to tell about their experiences out in this growing world we'll be apart of. None of that linear narrative nonsense we're all so used to by now; I want to hear how someone came across a hidden cavern and found some crazy loot to one of the legendary items on the server(or something similar I guess).

Excited about everything, maybe mostly by all the group systems such as nodes, guilds, societies, etc.

Tulnar

but really, Tulnar as well as most of the systems and how they synergize. I don't think I can pick one....besides Tulnar.

It will be so cool to finally know what they are. Since many of you guys are new here you may not know that there has been long term speculation that the Tulnar are some kind of **** furry abomination(because of this "death to all Tulnar" is kind of a meme). But I think they are just an animal race with some mutant features(which is how they have been described as). I am really excited to play as them. IMO they are the most interesting race since they are unique to ashes, sound cool and are not super vanilla fantasy like an orc or elf.

Neat list, Personally I've never been into housing since I think in most MMO housing is just cosmetic and you decorate it and dont do much else in it. But I think in ashes it is like your bank. So I'm glad it now has some functional features.

250v250 battles with no lag!!!
In Steven Shariff's latest interview he even said that they're trying to push it to 500v500 which would be mind blowing.

it will need good servers, amazing code, good internet, and good pc to play on. Even if they provide the good server and amazing code you will still need the good interent and good pc.

Luckily. Neither of those things are an issue for me. And they've stated that they are using alot of similar backend architecture to planetside 2 and that game hosted absolutely massive battles with little to no lag.

The different evolution of the world on each server,
the fiece competition for power and domination,
and all the politics and drama that comes with it,
the thrill of fighting other players or groups for a spot, caravan or resource,
the adventure of exploring the game and its mechanics for the first time
and my everlasting desire to become the strongest.
