From Discord:
Greetings Glorious Ashes friends,

I have asked my community team to move the December live stream from tomorrow to Thursday December 23rd, at 11am Pacific.

We have an important announcement to make regarding an integral component of the development for Ashes of Creation, and this announcement requires a little more time before presenting to the community. I look forward to seeing you all next Thursday for our December end of year live stream.

Hope you are all keep safe, and enjoying the holiday season!

Are they adding NFT and cryptocoin? Or UE5? What is it????

    Week long tease is what it is lol.

    I dunno, could be something related to combat or nodes, maybe UE5, maybe a race or class but those two don't seem like they'd warrant the announcement Steven made.

    My first thought was a new somewhat senior staff member.

    But hey, what ever.
  • NerrorNerror Member, Alpha One, Alpha Two, Early Alpha Two
    I am sure I am overthinking things :wink:

    It might simply be stuff we already know will come and they are now ready to show.

    I could be a new dev too, sure, but the wording makes me think it's some tech they want to show off.

    If we are putting our predictions out now.

    Here is mine:

    "We are dropping action combat in favor of pure tab-target. We feel like it is too complex to make both combat systems work together in a way that will make the entire community happy. We think that this makes the most sense for Ashes going forward, and we hope that all of our action combat fans will give the tab-target combat system a chance and even come to love it"-Future Steven (maybe)

    “Dwarves have been elevated to quasi-mountain kings, and all other races will be subservient to even their most trivial wants. Except, Tulnar. They will be caged and pit against each other until extinction. I have spoken.”

    Tulnar won the war, pushed the nasty snaggletoothed invaders back through the gate. So now only the Tulnar live on Verra peacefully.
    Most people never listen. They are just waiting on you to quit making noise so they can.

    Dude...

    They could just put all the racial options on Tulnar...

    Just make your Tulnar short and have a beard... Dwarfnar.

    Something about nodes...?

    Node guards auto aggro Tulnar?
    Delayed coz they're deciding how brutal the guards should be?

    As for a "serious" guess, I am assuming that orcs and tulnar needed a bit more baking to be ready. That or they are adding in the intended version of gathering as well as crafting.

    As long as this is an actual game related announcement.

    It has been a while since they have shown us something beyond a simulator, mount or objects. We still have only seen 3 base classes. This game has a lot of classes in it to still be at 3 base classes. It would also be nice to see some of the Post 15 content in a game that goes to 50th. The crafting/gathering system in place would be a sign of progress as well.

    In short, I would be a bit disappointed for the announcement to be something like "We hired more people". At this point I want to see what the people have been doing.

    I'm like 99% certain it's them upgrading to UE5. Steven said a few months ago that he assembled a "task force" to look into the viability of upgrading to UE5.

    I doubt it's combat because just last month they spoke about how they're discussing internally what to do with it and I doubt they have anything to show us after only a month.

    So yeah, I think it's them announcing the upgrade to UE5.

    I hope you are right. That's way better than my predictions.

    UE5 would make a lot of sense given the remaining development timeline (with release being years off) and the current consumer lifespan of UE4.

    I hope it’s not UE5. Then this is basically an announcement that they’re pushing release back another 2-3 years.

    The only way I’d be happy with UE5 at this stage of development is if they determined that a critical feature is either only possible with UE5, or will be implemented faster with UE5. In which case the delay is a wash. It would still be bad news though.
