Which features are you most excited/hyped for in Ashes of Creation?

Hi! I know that most here are extremely hyped about the game in general, but what is one specific thing you'd say is the feature you're most excited and hyped for?

Doesn't have to be one, just list your favourites.

Would love to hear, thanks!

For me personally im really looking forward to the caravan transportation system, really hyped for ganking some merchant and looting bank

I’m really looking forward to the class system and how varied the builds seem to be, to the nodes and how player actions will have real repercussions, and also to the many open world PvP opportunities.

Open world pvp

Well, I always enjoyed pvp and prefered smaller dungeons to raids, so open world dungeons where you can get both are definitely number one for me.

Hmm... feature-wise I think I am still most excited for the Husbandry system. Can't wait to see what Intrepid decide to make out of it. Hopefully it is in-depth and well thought out and has an important role to play in the world, instead of being an "afterthought" system.

However, in general what I am actually looking forwards to the most is to find a new, long term MMO home. It has been so long since I've felt at home in any game, so I hope AoC will give me that feeling again

A new game that is made by players that like playing this kind of game. That is what I am looking forward to the most. Blizzard was like that in the beginning.

Within the game itself, I am looking forward to the Node/Siege system. I really enjoyed Dark Ages of Camelot and have not seen a good siege system since then. I also love the idea of Dynamic content based on how players build in certain areas of the world. It sounds great. I just hope they can really implement it.

This last part hits close haha. I really want that feeling again too, its been so extremely long! That 'home' feeling is a good description.

Agreed! Really hyped for the sieges, but specifically just being a part of large scale battles.

Tinkering with talents and builds is one of my favourite things to do, as long as it isnt tedious! Looking forward to spending 2 hours thinking about what class subclass to choose.

Node politics. It'll just be fun to watch the drama. And hopefully we'll all be able to participate in our own small way.

For sure! They're what ties the community together.

+1, Im interested on building up a science node and forging a crafter/gatherer aliance on EU based on meritocracy with week and monthly rewards. I hope i can find people on my server interested on politics.

Clear stance of what the game aims to bring back. Outright declaration that this game might not be for everyone.

Open world PvP.

Meaningful guild gameplay:
group progress mandatory past certain lv
Open world raiding/pvevp
Help in crafting good gear
Ships
Sieges/wars.

Truly lootable caravans.

No 1 char master of all trades means real economy.

Big world that you can't safely skip on a mount. No teleports.

Curious about the future of the node gameplay and the functions/benefits of each type.

Races with good background and ID.

Promise of many activities for players to really progress, not just RP like in eso or ffxiv.

What I am not excited is the concept of the class system "play as you want" because previous games showed that it leads to a false sense of choice, while the reality is a very narrow selection of options to be viable (AA, ESO).

I am also not too excited about all weapons being used by all 8 classes or 64 combos, because this leads to reduced quality of combat animations due to the enormous work required, while still an archer/mage class won't be effective with a polearm, dual wield, two handed, shield and a fighter/roque wont be effective with a magic staff magic wand, a tank will be subpar without a shield, etc etc.

@George Black Actually agree with you on that last point. Albion has this system where ''you are what you wear'' which caused for lazy animation to happen, axes all had similar animations etc.

Im also excited for all the things you mentioned, especially sieges! Looking forward to seeing it ingame.

That feature for me is one of the best features in albion, i think the lazy animation don´t have nothing to do with that, you need to remember that you are playing a crappy mobile/pc hybrid engine... And yes you are free to use what you want but you need to specialize in one type of gear and weapon and that take months, if you played with one sword for a week and you gonna play against a player that play for 4 or 5 months with the same sword, you gonna lose because he have higher specialization

Meaningful PvP that actually affects the world and its economy. Not just battlegrounds, or catering to players who just want to sequester themselves in PvE content.

I order:

-Being a denizen in a world where politics and name recognition is important.
-Meaningful World PvP.
-Economy.
-Crafting.
-Snail Boi.
-Grinding hard.
-Watching the lore obsessed care bears quit because the corruption system will never ensure safe travels.

(Bonus) Can't wait for the "Verra Welcoming Committee' to inevitably be established...

Love me Crafting. Maybe join or make a crafting guild.

I played albion alot, as it was my main mmo and the best mmo out there for me.
Grinding a specialization doesn't take months, a single sword took me a few days. I maxed out all my swords in a little over a month which is 7 or 8 weapons. In that crappy mobile/pc hybrid engine, there were still some cool made animations, but they'd use the same animations for all the swords, its just how it is. I wish that if i used a different sword, it'd have a different attack style. But that's just me, i still love the game lol.
