In this week's episode, I aim to answer the question of "What are Monster Coins in the Ashes of Creation MMO?" & "Do these Monster Coins make Ashes of Creation pay to Win?"
In this video, I'll review - What are monster coins? How do you obtain them? What are the rewards? How does the system progress? How will it affect PvP? And will this be in Ashes of Creation Alpha 2?
Follow the series along as I dive deep into all the core gameplay systems that have been revealed leading to Alpha 2 (& the release date) and get some of the answers to your questions.

What's your opinion on the monster coin system?

from my understanding there a rare drop that then allows you to become a monster during a mob invasion event on a node or what not.
Secretly make pve players pvp cause the mob they might be fighting is a player dadadaaaa

So no clue how that would ever be pay to win at all

GrinningJack

They are not.

yeah, i would agree with the above and if you watch the video you will see me say this

but i did get a good comment on my video which made me think a lot deeper into how this system will work and how it looks to the newcomers and outside perspective which is why I really jumped into this one and give some fairly decent information and stated my opinion on it.
seems many still think it could class as pay to win but in my eyes, I think we are fairly safe that it is not.

I feel like after talking to a lot of people and seeing certain comments that yes it is not p2w (as Azrials video does explain if you watched it) but it is a bit pay to experience (due to us not yet knowing the drop rate) as people who can't get on to grind will have the fear of missing out and may feel like they need to buy them. Until we see it in action and see the drop rates though this is all speculation. Also although Jahlon has made a decent video (and makes a lot of other good videos on ashes topics) on it a lot of people who are new to the game won't want to search back through the sea of videos he and other content creators have made, and as new information comes out videos become outdated it's good for other content creators to make videos on topics as it brings attention to the game and the cool systems they have continuously through out development. You wouldn't expect with wow or FFXIV (other MMOs are available) only one content creator to make a video on a certain topic so why would ashes be any different.

appreciate the link.

yeah i feel the same way, but some guys have some valid points about it i think the more videos that come the more people learn they will be less on edge about thinking its pay to win.

They're not in my eyes the video goes through all this, but some people do have valid points about it so i made the best effort to make a video explaining it rather than jumping down their throats and kind of highlighting their misunderstanding of the system and dropping a little bit of info.

Freeholds have a serious chance to Threaten other MMO housing because of the practical in-game use.
In this video, I'll be showing gameplay and answering what are Freeholds? What can be built in them? What are the benefits of getting yourself one? And why Intrepids guild and player housing could better than other MMOs.

Lots of good information in this new video. Definetly a system I'm looking forward to!

Azrial

yeah I tried to get some good info out there this week and keep it as entertaining as possible

Freeholds and animal husbandry are the two things I cant wait for.

akabear

As nice as the idea is to have freeholds in the open territory near a node hub, I believe the result will be de-centralizing the populations and the node towns/cities/metropolises may not have the resultant player presence/activity to correspond with their importance.

Having these included within the town and reasons for freeholds users to go to and from utilities and vendors within the town would only increase the vibrance of the cities.

tautau

I thought that all freeholds would be related to the nearby node, since owning a freehold qualifies you for node citizenship. So even though you may be outside the city walls, you are still connected to the node economically (and activities in and around the freehold count towards levelling up the node).

I understand your point but if people are looking for in-node utilities there are going to be some depending on what the mayor builds such as armouries and blacksmiths and there will be a lot of other reasons to visit the node such as gaining new quests and in world events were the node will need to be defended so i don't think population within the node will be an issue. If all freeholds were built within the node it would just end up becoming cluttered and due to people having various freeholds skins it would just mess with the node aesthetic meaning it would break immersion for some people as the node will have the aesthetic of whichever race has put in the most effort to level that node up (this can change after every level up i.e during stage it could be a Py'Rai Village then it could be a stage 4 Kaelar Town).

You are correct, All freeholds do link back to their parent node which is where you get the certificate to be able to place your node, it will also have to be placed in the ZOI of the parent node you won't be able to place it randomly and therefore the activities and such you perform in and around the freehold will all link back to the nodes experience and economy as tax for you selling stuff will also link back to the node.

In this video, I'll be jumping into the taverns system and I was truly surprised by how much content they provide to the game. Hope you enjoy it and if you have any feedback would appreciate you popping it in the Youtube comment section!

So today I'm going to jump into the TOP reasons why small guilds could Succeed in Ashes of Creations PvP depending on the situation. A lot of MMOs have turned into zerg only games but I want to jump into why this isn't going to be the case and why even as a small guild of 30-50 players you can do well in sieges and open-world PvP.In this video, ill be covering what are the benefits of being a smaller guild? What have Intrepid Studios done to balance guild sizes? And what changes have been made in this MMO to stop people from just zerging and give them an equal chance to survive in PVP?
