Asmon day 1 in Verra after his first Death

We all know what's going to happen when Asmongold dies in Ashes.

The immediate response will be. "Steven will need to remove death penalties, and not drop any loot on death".

Yep, knew this since day one of him reacting to the game

People will search and travel to the Place ingame where Asmo died for the first Time - and then make Screenshots on the exact same Spot in which a legendary, bald Planeswalker fell who travelled from World to World and made People laugh left and right.

It will be great.

Do we have bets on how Asmon dies first?

PvP or PvE?

10000% pvp. Well, at least on release. I'd imagine A2 will have pvp disabled for quite a while, so he'll die to mobs there. But if he does play on release - he gets killed before he exists the first location (unless they disable pvp there as well).

I hope PvP isn't off for the launch of A2, I want to see the chaos. lol

100% Asmon is almost the opposite of the target audience, and as soon as A2 opens and he finds out about Death Penalties, PK, Caravans, Mules, Open World competition, Node sieges, Naval content etc his negative opinions will influence the masses trash on the design, a lot more than his current "game has no art style" takes, I hope @StevenSharif is ready of this,

and PvP should absolutely be enabled for A2, maybe just dont have PvP from level 1, have people finish a tutorial quest first ending with a big pop up about corruption and PvP and enable it at level 3 or smt

Asmon has been somewhat good at saying "this game is just not for me, but I'm glad it's trying to do smth others don't" lately, so I hope he manages to say the same. But I'm sure that his audience will still trash on Ashes for its design, even if he does say that.

hmm I've never seen him say that tbh, and I watch almost every react he puts out, its usually him comparing combat to BDO or Elden Ring and saying intrepid should go for a more stylized art style like WoW

Is he not a fan of PvP as a player or is it just the realities of streaming that make it an issue?

I think it is more the fact that Asmo himself said, that he is not the "Beast" of a very quick, sharp and clear thinking PvP-Gamer with Badass Moments anymore.

Aging gets to him as well. His Reflexes got slower. His Focus is not as narrow and sharp as before. He thinks about Tons of useless things in Fights while he should in fact only focussed in defeating his Opponents. He makes Mistakes and misses things he wouldn't have Ten Years ago - and so on - and so on.

He also said it bugs him - a LOT.

So it is not like Asmo has become a Wuss that doesn't " want " to fight anymore. He is just overly frustrated how much his Skill has gone down over the Years.

At least this is how i have understood him once, a few Years ago or so.

But guess what. I am same as ffffff~ ... ... .. freakishly more humble regarding my Skills than him - because i only get older as well. But i will not turn tail and run. Verra gets all of my combined Efforts together with whoever i will have the Honor to have as my Allies.

Giving up ? I give up when i am DEAD.

I watch his full streams, and I'm 90% sure I've heard him say that line a few times in the past few months. It would be near-impossible to find quotes though, cause there's fucking days-worth of streams to go through

I'll look out for it in the future.

He hates any backwards progression and highly dislikes forced pvp because he himself was a total asshole with it back in WoW, so he realizes how bad it can be. And Ashes has both of those linked to each other.

but you are wasting time playing any video game...maybe except if you are making money out of them. even if he lost progress, he would still be making money from his viewers...what he said made no sense.

Ashes does not have reversed progression -aka- deleveling.
Ashes also has very partial loot, rather than full loot.
So, I don't think Asmon will have as much of an issue with Ashes PvP as he does with Tarkov, but... we'll see.

Also, by stylized art, Asmon really means more unique than generic UE5.
So that when you look around you in the world of Verra, you instantly know that you're playing Ashes of Creation, rather than some other UE5 game.
He mentioned a few months ago that he really liked the feel of the Village the Caravan visited.

I agree with Dygz, the loot you might lose when getting PK’d is fairly inconsequential compared to other games with full loot drop on death. When you lose your gear, that’s when it becomes tiresome. Right now, the wiki says the most recent estimate is 20-30% of materials and glint, but that could go down further if testing suggests it would be good for the game.

Considering Asmon almost always has a horde of chatters with nothing better to do following him around in any MMO he plays, and considering that will actually work to his advantage in this game, I don’t see it being a problem for him very often.

I also agree with Dygz’ interpretation of his take on the graphics in the game. He’s not saying he wants it to look like BDO or any other game, he’s just saying he wants it to look different than the masses of “straight from UE5” ‘pulp-fiction’ games being churned out on a regular basis. I think the team has started to showcase their own unique visual flair a little more recently, and hopefully that continues. The game is beautiful, but baseline realistic graphics can become dated pretty quickly if it doesn’t lean into at least a slightly stylized finish.

There is still backwards progression, xp debt and stat dampening. As well as loss of materials.

Tarkov has no deleveling, or stat dampening, but full loss of gear.

Even though they're not 1 to 1. It's still a loss in progression, since you need to do more PvE to break even before progressing past the pre-death threshold.

Sorry dude, your post made no sense here.

You aren't wasting time playing a game, you are using that time for entertainment. Entertainment is not wasted time.

If you do not find having to redo progression to be entertaining, then time spent redoing progression is not time spent being entertained - thus it then becomes time wasted.

Kinda funny isn't it, in a broken logic sort've way.. that Asmon's reaction has such sway considering his actual experience is a complete anomaly in the gaming world and really has little to no reflection on the gaming experience the rest of us will have.
