What is ONE thing you dont want to see in Ashes?

I dont want to see a raid boss, instance boss or world boss just sitting there doing nothing. Have it pathing or doing something immersive.
Nothing kills ot for me more than to get to the boss and it's just sitting there like a mannequin. I feel like I have to get my quarter out and put it in its slot to start the fun.

Don't want to see all the care bears crying about world PVP get their way and ruin the game.

I don’t want to see that the best gear and looks comes only from PvP activities. Instanced raids and other only PvE activities should also be able to get the best gear and looks in the game.

I don't want to see Dev's give in to the player base, this is THEIR creation, we will play what they create and either enjoy it or not, or not play it. Please don't give welfare epics to make everyone have a trophy. Let epic be epic and we all know that someone worked their ass off to get it. a player that can only play 1 or 2 hours a week, should not be equally geared or ranked or whatever, as someone who puts in 20 hrs a week. Let this be like life, the harder you work, the more you get out of it.

pvp health bars, instances, too many safe zones for pve. Basically anything that makes everything easy, predictable and catering for carebears

Instancing doesn't really correlate to being carebear. Its way easier to code instanced mechanics than it is to code for open world mechanics, as you have a fixed variable to work with. Thus instancing allows you to finely control an encounter's difficulty level. That's why the most challenging PvE content has almost always been instanced.

Dude, what are you talking about? theres literaly no difference in coding pve mechanics for instance and open world. the only difference is instance is "safe space" for carebears to to hide away and just do PVE stuff, without any risk of being pushed out of the spot. Also when talking about PVE being hard, i dont really understand this, as unless they change the boss mechanics every week, you will know exactly what you need to do to clear the dungeon within 1st week of dungeon being available...

1. id hate to see guild monopolies, i understand its inevitable for this to happen to some degree, but i really hope we atleast get the chance to counter it strongly. game will be pretty boring if everyone decided to give certain people power and nothing changes after that. this is likely to happen as people will flock to strong big guilds whom in turn make allot of alliances to give a sense of safety to members etc. id like it to not be like WoW horde vs alliance. i love the 5 factions concept but theres a good chance 2-3 factions/castles atleast will team up against the rest.

2. 100% agree with OP it will add nicely with the rest of the immersion in Ashes if theres raid boss pathing in the world. not having this feature will kinda seem off as the rest of Ashes is so immersive

well it will all depend on guild size as there will be limited castles, limited top tier nodes, so theres not much incentive for guilds who dont own a castle or are not in control of top tier node to ally with guilds who do. theres a lot more incentive, to fight against those guild over castles, nodes etc. of course if its 300 people guilds you will have, then yeah, few guilds team up together, take all castles, nodes and they will make up more than half of servers pvp capable population, so then there's no chance for anyone else.

I would like to pick up anything and pluck anything out of the earth, obviously you cant pluck a giant tree but can we also cut them down any one, an entire interactive map. if i want to pick up a random rock and toss.

That would be really cool. But its incredibly difficult to implement that in game, that's why next to no game has this feature.

New World came pretty close to everything being a resource.

I've been wondering about this. Wouldn't you have some sort of daily quest for the progression of the node though? It is a PC's actions that contribute to the XP of the node right? So there must be some sort of daily or recurring quest to do that. Or maybe not. Like I said, I've been wondering about that.

I agree with you though. Logging in every day to do 20 daily quests would seem more like a chore than fun game play.

@maouw I so heartily agree! Make them epic!

Balrog21

@Izilion I agree! I sure as heck dont want to see any Sailor Moon toons and surfer boys out killing mobs.

Balrog21

@Marzzo yeah, to me that is nothing but a chore, and lazy game design. If we see any if that I hope it's at its bare minimum.

Balrog21

@Mygrunt I don't think we have to worry about that after hearing Steven talk about it with the Asmondgold interview. If you want it you are going to have to earn it. Plus he said he cant stand all the new participation trophies being handed out in today's MMO's .

Balrog21

@Hystorix no chance of that. No addons per Steven.

Micro-transactions...

Vyraka

I have mixed emotions about micro transactions. On one hand, I like them - I like both functional MT items (adding bag space) as well as Pay to Look Pretty MT items. The truth is it's already a reality in the game before the game has launched. Micro transactions are here to stay.

What I don't like about MT is it being tradeable with other players because at that point it really does become pay to win. In BDO, you can buy a fancy outfit, sell it on the market for several million, and then go buy high quality gear. To me that is pay to win.

And like I said, I like being able to buy extra bag space, but I can even see that being pay to win too.

Exiled King

I don't want to see any this cancel culture, diversity propaganda or anything remotely political in the game. Keep it to gaming ONLY. I would quit so fast if they even try to push any this.

Totally agree. That's a red alert for MT operations. Just make it like FFXIV, untradeable cash shop items. If you want to give options then probably a gift option and that's about it. Getting stuff and selling ingame is plain horrible.
