This is Hands down THE. BEST. thing i have seen in the last +6 Weeks or so, in this Forum. No Trashtalk towards the Community Members or dear Intrepid Members.
I have seen SOOO. MANY. Topics and Comments in the last +6 Weeks or so in this Forum and they were all like :
- I want this
- I want that
- This is good
- This is annoying
- This would make the Game better
- This would make the Game worse
- Please do this
- Please do that
- Omg this Problem is SOOO ANNOYING
- Blablabla the Character Creator Models
- Oh my God the Lag (lol)
- The Anvils are cool, buuut ... ...
- Mi mi mi, the Guilds
- Mi mi mi, the PvP
- Mi mi mi, the Lawless Zones
- Mi mi mi, the Game will come out in 2032 or later!!!!!
F~xXing H~eeeeell on dear Verra
- this short Presentation is with no exaggeration MY. HIGHLIGHT. that kept filling me finally up with positive Energy AND EVEN FOOTAGE(!!!) again,
and finally my constant Headache is being relieved again somewhat. The waiting Time is an absolute Killer and i can understand why some People just give up and leave.
We need these Life- and Essence-giving Injections from time to time. These nice bits of positive Mercy that keeps up being excited and look forward for what is still to come in the Alpha Two. ; -)
While i don't know a single thing right now how well Sir Steven and his mighty Crew tackle for Example right now the Stability Issues regarding Server-Lag and so on,
i know that "Performance" is one of the things they want to tackle significantly until or at least after November - and i am looking forward of the final Archetype and my dear Class being patched into the Alpha 2 which i would love to play since around September 17th of 2023.
Plus i slowly evolved over the Year into "a Sucker for Fishing" ( ) and i am looking forward with Excitement how the Fishing- and Naval-Combat will get improved and completed more and more, bit by bit.

this sentiment really indicates how many people feel....
Hahahah, Du Sack voll Scheisse
Damn that is funny. You always know how to make me grin.
It's just such a horrible Drag between "i don't know" if i should i should call it boring,
or if i have the Feeling of a MAAAAAASSIVE Rock or so in the way and the Players are desperately trying to push this Rock forward - so that they can move onwards and continue testing all the Content that Intrepid has not yet patched into the Alpha 2.
It started when Phase 3 began and People began testing the Anvils and started complaining about the Anvils apparently (harder than the Riverlands?) being very unforgiving and so - to the Extent that testing their would be one hell of a drag compared to the other Starting Zone.
All valuable Feedback of Course - but first i heard People complaining hard about some things and then staying dead silent on other things - and next thing i get to witness is at least Two Content Creators stopping to make Videos about Ashes of Creation on YouTube - and apparently i heard some Testers left as well.
So Intrepid is barely following behind with coding new Stuff into the Alpha 2, apparently.
Jepp.
The tough Phase of Development in which most Companies "STILL" wouldn't even have announced their Game to the World yet. I understand why some People say "Open Development" was a Mistake - but it is also very refreshing in it's own way to see the Struggle for a good MMO firsthand.
Some People only ever "keep themselves busy" with the Game, when they write once every few Weeks or Months a Comment on YouTube in a Video addressing Ashes of Creation, like :
" Huh. This Game will come out in 2038 at this pace. "
" I can't wait for my Grandchildren to play this Game one Day. "
And other Variants of the same, hackneyed, chewed Line - which doesn't get funnier no matter how often they write it.
But " i " - am closer to it.
And i slowly see the many Changes work better and better -> ESPECIALLY when comparing the current Alpha 2 to what it's State was around February to March far earlier this Year.
