Ashes of Creation on Steam? (APOC)

Just wondering your thoughts on this decision, I didn't see much on it myself and was kind of confused when I saw APOC would be on steam. I mean I'm happy because that is my launcher of choice, and it makes things a lot easier and will bring more people to the game inevitably. I am just curious as to why they made this decision, maybe for more exposure ? I'm not sure myself but I'd be happy to hear what you guys think!

Q: When can I play Ashes of Creation Apocalypse?

A: This limited test session is from 11AM PDT to 11PM PDT on Tuesday, August 20, 2019. You may experience intermittent downtime during this window as we test or adjust network infrastructure - the best way to keep up with our current server status during the play test is to join the discussion on our official Discord!
Q: Can I level up my Adventurer’s Path during this limited test session?

A: As mentioned above, there will be a shorter “Test Compendium” during this playtest, with an Adventurer’s Path and Legendary Path that only contain XP-related rewards. This Compendium is meant to help us test the leveling and item receipt feature in an accelerated way. You will be able to continue making progress towards the items from your previous Adventurer’s Path in an upcoming playtest.

That doesn’t seem like enough time. They should keep it open longer than that. There’s people who have never heard of the game that will see it available. And will only be able to play it for a few hours.

What a shame.

It is a well known sales technique called the "Reluctant Virgin"

Does this mean apoc is no longer just a test? if its standalone at this point prepare for reive bombs

When do you think the next test will be? In a couple months? For a 12 hour period.

APOC was never going to be just a test bed. This next technique is called slow boiling a frog. If you slowly increase the temperature it just sits there till it is cooked. Too fast and it jumps out. They are going to try for some of that sweet BR money over on Steam. Somebody really pushed hard for this back at home base and they are going for it. Funny thing is, they missed the BR curve by around 6 months. Making it be its own standalone product is just going to confuse people more. They not worried about pissing us off, they got our cash for the mmo. Now it is all about padding that nest egg.

At this point the MMO better be good or Intrepid will become the new EA of mmos

I’m just pissed because this is the only MMO on my radar. Crowfall sucks, project TL will suck, last oasis is terrible, Ascent:infinite realm looks bad. Any others?
I really don’t want to go back to Aion

Oh I hope not. Have you seen the latest bullshit EA have come up with for Apex Legends? Geez it's like they are oblivious to the players feedback at all.

In all honesty though I feel really sorry for the people who actually work on some of these games. Most of these big companies are run by businessmen who only care about getting as much money as possible. So you have them on the one hand and then the players (who typically want the best deal possible) on the other. The people who actually make the games are stuck in the middle like some sick twisted tug-o-war.

I really hope Ashes doesn't turn out like that and that they can just keep their greed in check.

I have faith c: especially since this is going to be the first mmorpg I play, I don't have any expectations besides what's been shown. I think it'll be good though, even just on the surface it looks so much more appealing to so many more people graphically alone! well.. I just mean it's modernized, stylized graphics are cute cx

I HAD faith in ashes but at this point, I have more hope that star citizen will come out next year

I think it's different for me since I haven't played an mmorpg, I can wait for a really quality one. haha star citizen !! I think I saw that game.. well I heard stuff on youtube how its raised so many millions of dollars lol

Plus this is the only game I've followed before release cx all the other games I played were already out when I got a computer (rust) (csgo) (gmod)
