So Ashes of Creation forumers

I am bored, forums post are slow and content is drier than the Sahara. What's got you excited about AOC recently?

-We just got animal husbandry details
-Mounts are looking cool as always
-Perhaps their optimization regarding the 250v250 siege battles we saw many months ago?
-Caravan systems seem like they have gnarly potential maybe the guild v guild v guild conflicts that are sure to arise from caravans?
-What do you think about an alliance guild helping in a siege and potentially ending up stealing the castle from their alliance member?
-Crafting and gathering looks like it might have a lot of potential has anything drawn your eye in particular?
-Combat, Tab targeting hybrid system seems ambitious, is it to ambitious? Their certainly a fine line between failure and success potential for it, what do you think?
-AOC certainly has a lot on it's plate, what are your thought regarding their ability to deliver? Seems like so far they have tried to be transparent in a world where transparency can certainly be punishing.

Load me up with AOC opinions because I want to read them all because I am way to excited for a game that is a ways away from releasing even the A2.

My AoC opinion? Reading the wiki is healthier for you and the community than listening to the community if you want to keep your enthusiasm. Just don't look at past production timelines.

@justvine The only problem is, I think I have read the entire wiki at this point (unfortunately) plus, good or bad, the community will shape this game and I am down to get to know it, especially all the diehards that are here way to early with me

Have you run Ashes101 to ground yet? Jahlon has a few hundred hours of videos out there on Ashes.

I guess I'm really hoping to see something I haven't seen before.

Not 'something I haven't seen before in a fantasy MMO' or 'something I haven't seen before in the exact way Ashes does it'.

Otherwise it's not really all that hype? Their 'marketing' of Ashes worked on me because it sounded like 'we're gonna take the best we can from everything and make the ultimate MMO' and I believe that they might do that, but that would be moreso 'a perfect polished experience at the end'. Games that 'slowly refine a genre into perfection' don't look super cool during the development stages unless they find something really special, and Ashes doesn't have 'really special' yet, so this phase is just a quiet one.

Fair enough. So far I didn't enjoy Ashes sieges more than FFXI Besieged (even considering Ashes was PvP and FFXI Besieged is more like a really good PvE one) but obviously that was Alpha. That's my point though. It's too early in development for me to say 'This is better than the game I already play!' and that's fine, they should take their time and make it really worth it.

It's just not something to be hype about yet unless you're confident that it WILL be better than the sieges in games already available. I've played '400 vs 200' (400 Players is the cap in the zone FFXI uses for its 'Siege') and while it obviously had all the technical limitations you'd expect in 2011 or whatever, it's just not new to me.

I've just been taking a break a little bit. I still check in briefly to see if something catches the eye, but other than that, been playing other games. Elden Ring, Total War: Warhammer 3. I've thought about seeing if there are any MMORPGs I haven't played yet, just as a sort of inspiration for things to do or not do in Ashes. So yeah, take a break? Ashes isn't going away.

Elden Ring.
Be back soon.

The growth and improvement of AOC and the Intrepid team.
I know that many consider that I am a White Kinght, well, I can not deny it (LMFAO), but precisely the reason why I am that, it is because I see the effort, improvement and growth of intrepid team and AOC.
Could be the white knight of NW or Blizzard, but I want to know that money does not buy greatness, effort and overcoming, the intrepid team is fighting, seeing ways to try to improve gender, be different and innovative, so I want to continue seeing the growth of Intrepid and AOC.
The effort, audacity and innovation that try to use is what catches me.

@MybroViajero I do like how they have been going about their development so far. I hope they keep it up and nothing turns out to be a lie.

Don't ever apologize Viajero, your memes keep us all moving forward.

I'm most excited for node development in Alpha 2. Really want to see some high end roads, and get a feel for just how big these cities become.

Forum burnout is a thing just take a brake from ashes and come back in a month or two

Voxtrium

@goalid I wonder if they are going to tease us by only providing up to lvl 5 nodes upon launch of A2 before releasing the metropolis in a patch several months later. Feels like what they will do. Super excited to see those high level nodes though, I hope the detail really shines and make you feel like its a true medieval/high fantasy city.

I don't even expect level 5 nodes to be ready by Alpha 2 release, I expect us to get level 5 nodes a couple of months into A2, and then get metropolis nodes in Beta 1. The amount of environmental art that has to be created for both generic node designs and environment-specific designs must be overwhelming for the staff.
