We need streamer free servers

Many people don’t want to play on servers with streamers. The whole Asmongold incident is a great example of why. I think there should be some servers that ban streamers so that players who don’t like the negatives that streamers can bring to the game don’t have to deal with them. I think this is the best way to make everyone happy.

Therefore I would also really like to have a server where everyone just pays their subscription fee and plays the game because they enjoy gaming and not because they can sell something from the game to others.
I am however how many people actually share this sentiment. I would hope it would be enough for one "private" server and that Intrepid has enough understanding for this "oldschool" sentiment and capacities on the technical side to enable such a thing.
I dont think they can really stop people from moving servers og starting somewhere, npr should they. But I get your pointe.
If they make it clear that anyone who streams on the servers that don’t allow streamers on the them will have their character deleted or moved off the server. I’m sure streamers will behave and play on the servers that are for streamers.
Like, is it just 'getting popularity by creating content and getting an audience through that content' that's an issue?
This is a serious question for me because it would also apply to really good RP-ers and certain big guilds, even if they don't actually stream and sometimes even if they don't create video content.
If by some miracle a person was able to recruit an Army in Ashes purely by 'writing good Node Lore', is that ok? Is it ok if they 'didn't start out with an audience already'? And if having an audience already is a problem, how big is the audience allowed to be?
If the issue is with just streaming specifically, you can just ignore the followup questions.
As a result, streaming may become less common during pivotal moments, with players possibly limiting broadcasts to less sensitive content to preserve their competitive advantage. Therefore, we could expect fewer long-term streamers focusing on significant parts of the game, with more controlled or edited content shared after the fact, allowing players to showcase their achievements without compromising ongoing strategies.
I’d rather the community work this out instead of the devs regulating it.
In a game like Ashes, you really can't.
Just like labeling a server for RP...
Streamer Clout chasing will take care of the rest. Nobody who streams wants to miss out on being part of the new drama
At some point the population will know who streams and who doesn't.
2-to-zero- week-old discussion for context. Most of the questions have already been answered, o raddressed/discussed there. Can't really bring myself to summarise it for you, if you can't bring yourself to search it, tbh.
Point is, it's worth browsing through, and should probably have been discussed there, or at least referenced here.
Eve Online is the best example for that. You won't see much streamers for that game, and even if you do, they put at least a 30 minutes broadcast delay to avoid stream sniping (if it is worth stream sniping them).
Trust me when I say this, Ashes of Creation is just another Eve Online, except AoC is medieval fantasy themed and EO is space fantasy themed. The game base will be extremely niche, only PvP tolerating gamers will play it, the game needs serious commitment, not solo friendly, and so on.
Creating a streamer free server is a futile attempt to avoid streamer harassment. Instead, let the community figure out a way on its own to solve this.
Why do i need to do research just tag a server streamers and done.
You cant tough thats the thing just look at the server they took on US everything is controlled by streamers or guilds streamers are in.
I dont want to be a part of a realm that is managed for views.
thats what ill do i reckon it work well for marketing too and easier to police people greifing streamers too since there all in one space
cmes from someone with "lol" at the end of his name... boring...
Streamers are a fucking plague and i wish them just the bad. They ruin almost every MMO with their exploit/bug using, toxic behaviors and all the dumb and premature ppl they bring with them.
Original names taken, adding lol at the end is an old school WoW take of making an alt character
Sometimes they don’t, they add heaps of people who generally wouldn’t have looked twice at an MMO take interest in it, and give it a go and also, people can learn a thing or two off watching streamers or yet not what to do
Trying to see how streamers who literally stream where they are affects your gameplay at all when you can just avoid?
The amount of real money acquired from in game actions is incredible.
As long as its cool to snipe them -- just like it's cool to spy/inside guilds. Information is king.
They disrupt servers -- terribly so.
Exactly. Everyone on a server will be impacted. Ashes is not like other games where other players impacts don’t affect you. Every action matters especially large scale ones. I’d rather not be in the middle of two streamers fighting for dominance over a server and have all the drama that comes with it. Also, as we have seen with Asmongold they get special treatment.
I dont want to play with streamer clan, and btw dont want loose war becouse against me man with 3000 followers from twitch. its unfair such p2w) but i global meaning, its breaks world balance.
