If You Could Get One Thing Added to AOC...

Steven comes to you and one time only, you get to suggest a single idea to be included into Ashes. 100% it's getting in the game. What do you tell him?

Also it would be super cool if some classes recite spells so the player can hear as the caster is doing the animation. in some cases where the class has to group up to with other class they all chant while performing the spell!

I’ve never heard any classes on other games say spells out loud. I love when witches do it in cartoons and tv shows and i think it’s totally amazing!

hahah i just searched “Fus Ro Dah” on youtube because I didn’t know what or who that was. hahaha He makes a sound with his mouth while casting his lightning ability. It was funny to watch and seems very popular.

I was thinking something like that but with audible words haha.

side note: I downloaded ESO for the first time last week but stop playing because the guards kept attacking and killing me. I didn’t know I had killed an npc citizen. I thought It was someone I was suppose to kill because I could attack him.

also other things turned me away from the game lol

+ At least 1 basic class with dark/blood magic (mb warlock/dark templar-reaver etc.)
+ Friar/monk class (adaptive, agile,ascetic fighter extr. trained mentally/phisically, who prefers to use a light armor/clothes and "simple" or exotic weapon).
+ Class with illusion magic school
+ druid (animorphing, treant/animal summoning, buffs-debuffs+some healing spells etc.)
+ Trauma/curse system (not typical debuffs - req. healers/ "pray in cheurch"/ scroll with divine spell or even performing certain ritual etc.)
+ World, cross-class knowledge system - skills from books, manuscripts, collections, some teachers-masters, trials/achievements etc.
+ Proper "reaction" from gods/npc and npc organizations(cults, guilds, tribal clans etc.) on player actions
Sorry, it' not "one thing".

I'd want a @karthos to be added, since no MMORPG is complete without one.

When you kill someone you, for a moment, get to see their spirit rise from their corpse...

Cartography as a craft, where exploration and observation literally defines our understanding of the world.

Persistent bodies during combat, that is once a creature is killed in combat they do not de-spawn from the combat zone until some time after the combat has ended.

First, like the terrain in the wilderness, such as bodies of water, rocks, and large branches or the objects in a populated areas such as barrels, crates, and buildings, they become an obstacle to the on-going combat. I find a near-immediate de-spawn breaks the immersion for many MMOs; because, as soon as the creature is dead - even if the a body is still displayed - the character can walk right through it like it is a ghost.

The second immersion breaker is when the body goes poof and disappears during combat. Yes, the bodies eventually do have to de-spawn, but I think this should be postponed until some time after the combat has ended.

I actually like this idea a lot! I really hope they implement this in AoC

I would just give Steven this and he would know

Labor camps with npcs working it while you offline.
Examples are:
Mining camps
Lumber camps
Hunting camps

You get the idea,

I already made a post, but thought I'd add one more that I can't believe I forgot.

A Grappler Class or Sub-class
Since it's a "grappler", it would probably be more PVP focused, unless they made some crazy builds that allowed you to logically wrestle things more than one size category larger than you.

...would be pretty funny to choke-out a dragon.

Sounds like a monk class of sorts. Probably similar to Striker/Mystic in BDO.

Removal of Corruption system restraints so Bounty Hunters are not hunting handicapped players (where is the fun in that?). Bounty Hunters are the only players that can be given bounties and when bounties are complete (bounty is killed and transported to prison of node where crimes took place) that player will be judged by their peers of the node where the crimes took place in a trial (similar to ArcheAge) of peers with no guild affiliation to the defendant. A similar stat list detailing the prosecuted's crimes. No notes unless the defendant(s) only wish to leave one by clicking the bloodstains at the scene of the crime/death. Adjust the penalty on death for corrupt players from equipped items or items in their bag to a different system pertaining to the node (manual labor i.e. mining, lumbering, etc...) for paying your dues or the option to pay out of pocket a heftier fine (partial payment to defendant(s). Add Infamy system that will build over time (with time degrading factors) on repeat corrupt offenders to the point it will make them outlaws (similar to Pirates in AA) causing them when entering cities or nodes to be targeted by guards, chased and teleported outside the city or if a repeat offense in 60 minutes occurs, attacked and/or killed on sight resulting in normal death penalties.

Black Markets and Inns - where other players with infamy (>0 infamy players and outlaws only. No bounty hunters allowed.) may visit in certain nodes to buy certain goods or services in game and congregate. Black Inns offer an arena where players may gamble on fights or participate themselves. Having a black market can prove beneficial to the owners of the node or ... maybe not. The arena's cut goes to the node owner. Certain ranks of infamy grant access to outlaw related items which can be bought with gold or other currency(TBD):
-Cloaks that can hide names, guild association and help lower guard detection in towns/nodes.
-Personal Contracts that can be placed and taken by players and require proof on payment (ears or potential node objective destroyed or tampered with in-game that slows progression of a node). Espionage anyone?
-Normal wares found in markets.
-Black Marketplace connected to the normal market or a separate market of their own entirely. (TBD)
-Unique quests that a bartender of the Black Inn offers that still grants gold, node progression and EXP or infamy if selected. (Option if there are node dailies available but risk being killed by guards).
-Higher Infamy ranks grant access to special skills and lore not available to the goodly folk of the realm. (Poisons, designs of evil denizens of the realm, spell books and Lore that can be traded)

A quest line found in any temple or church in the game if players wish to gradually lose their infamy and corruption back to 0 and then a probation period of 14 days is put into place where they may NOT flag but only defend themselves. Taking this quest bans you from Black Markets/Inns and flagging. Grants "Repentance" buff allowing any quest completed to reduce a certain amount of infamy or corruption. This buff is permanent until the player reaches o infamy and 0 corruption. All churches/temples are Non-PvP zones enforced by the gods. Prevents guards from attacking.

I would need more info on the current corruption system to help deter players from being mindlessly killed while also not destroying the PKer's experience. Level cap based on flagger to be flagged on, Node/Zone giving safe and open pvp durations, etc... (Work in progress)

If this idea is so far left field than at least just remove the debilitating effects of corruption and the loss of potential items upon death. This is a game and not everyone is going to be nice. Words won't always win whether for a good reason or bad. That is when actions will need to speak louder than words.

More races of just add undead.
