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!

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 economy as long as it keeps cycling around and rarity and things fluctuate. Could be me personally, but some mmo's economies are boring because they came to a standstill and everything basically had a set price at some point. If there's a system involved (like seasons perhaps) where some items become easier or more difficult to find, it'd fluctuate the markets so you can start flipping.

What is snail boi?

Yeah i also am looking forward to just having a game to grind again, noice.

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

Hell yeah, i dont think the game allows you to avoid pvp so make sure you're prepared and maybe have some protection.

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.

Big agree, players need to be moved out of their comfort zone to have new and fresh experiences.

I think between seasons, local markets, and nodes fluctuating. The economy should stay pretty interesting.

This is snail boi:

He is perfect in every way.

1. The new MMORPG feeling
2. Caravan system (Silkroad > ArcheAge > Albion > BDO)
3. Resources and crafting
4. Speciality vs do-it-all
5. Sailing
6. Holy trinity
7. Longer time-to-kill
8. ... a lot of other things

My only real concern is how well the caravan system will be implemented. If there's way too much time/risk investment for miniscule rewards then it's pretty pointless. Fear of it not being a "fun" thing but more like another boring step in the process of doing something else type of thing.

I believe that the team will find a way to balance it after tests. The time/risk thing, the players themselves can take preparations to decrease the risk significantly such as hiring people to 'bodyguard' the caravan and imo there should be a limit to how many people can defend and attack it. All in all, i hope and believe that they'll make it work

Node evolution seems very exciting and I would love to see it work.

Finding those bodyguards alone already introduces a time investment. Plus the bodyguards need to be guaranteed a share of profits or there is no incentive for them. And just like that you've taken even more risk before you're even set to go. One probably has to collect the mats to transport, too, which is yet another "time investment", and so on. When time equals money, you'd expect even greater returns from it, given how probably complex the system will end up being and all other things considered.

I can only imagine how in fear of it being too profitable they'll just implement artificial limits to everything and render the activity into something more akin to a masochist's paradise without being able to figure out a more proper way to rectify the situation.

I'm low-key expecting it to end up being an afterthought of an aspect to the game given how much effort it would take to make it into something decent (for 0 ROI, too, unless they start pumping out more caravan/ship skins or other cash shop stuff related to this particular system).

1. Zones with dynamic content that aren't forever obsolete or irrelevant once you reach a certain level.

2. A decent range of good-looking gear to choose from.

3. An economy that's tied to interdependence and logistics.

I'm mostly looking forward to seeing how Intrepid make conflicting design decisions and features work.

The concept of a holy trinity exists for a PvE world. Intrepid have said they want the game to have a solid PvE endgame, with difficult content that gives players something to aspire to. The node system's top end is as much about unlocking PvE content as it is about anything else.

Yet the game it self is decidedly not appealing to PvE players as we currently understand it. It isn't the fact that PvP exists (most top end PvE players would love PvP to be more of a thing), it is the inability to be able to focus on that PvE content. It is the lack of access to data. It is the lack of development discussion on PvE content at all.

Then you have the fact that this game is decidedly not casual friendly, but for some reason Intrepid see fit to include a family summons for casual players.

To me, the most interesting thing about this game is seeing how they reconcile these situations.

Sometimes the most simple explanation is the truth...

The game is not for causals and will be a constant PvP bloodbath with no good PvE.

Sounds a lot like a game on the inspirations section of the design pillars page of the wiki... I just can't put my finger on which one... A game Steven has brought up in nearly every interview...

Oh, I agree, that is quite possibly how the game will end up.

Thing is, if that is how they want the game, they need to drop the notion of the trinity. it fits the game as it was described 4 years ago, but not as it is being talked about now. They need to drop the family summons, as it has never fit the game at all. They need to drop the notion that PvE generates materials with PvP redistributing them, as the game will not have PvE on par with it's PvP.

On the other hand, the interviews could just be a result of someone untrained in PR talking about the game, and unable to help but talk about it from the perspective of games he himself has played.

One thing that is for sure, the way the game is being talked about now is not the same as the way the game was being talked about in 2017, 2018 and 2019. It is also fairly obvious to me that the feature set of the game is better suited to how the game used to be talked about than how it is talked about now.

This is why I find this aspect of the development of this game to be interesting.
