What do you want and not want in Ashes?

Hey guys back with another post to keep community together and hyped.
Simple put in 1 system or really anything that you want in Ashes and same for one you don't want to see!
What I want to see is good class design meaning all classes feel unique and not like others .
What I don't want to see is poor raids. I want them to be hard feel epic and more than a handful of bosses.
Love you guys can't wait to hear what y'all have to say!

Want: Action Combat. Hardcore PvP.
Not want: Tab Target

I dont want apoc action combat! I want a tab target system! Or more in a style of black desert combat. Agree on the Hardcore pvp.

torkel56

Want:

[*] Want a good tab target system.
[*] I would take Black desert action combat
[*] Great crafting system were you have to do different thing in the world to get the mats you need.
[*] I would like a system more like the wave surival system they got in lost ark were you can challenge yourself solo or in groups and see how far you can go.
[*] Good PvP and bounty system.
[*] I would like a good Summoner build were you can make your summons different from other summoners, can teach your summons different skills and spells. ( this will also vary on what you pick as a secondary class )
[*] I loved the idea they had about a world that lives, and that it could come a big angry dragon or monster to fight a town.
[*] Some great exploring and hidden items and puzzles that can spawn randomly in the world so its more special and people cant just go on google and find the hidden spots.
[*] Balanced game.

Dont want:
[*] Apoc in any way. I dont want the action combat that's there either.
[*] Lies
[*] Bad hybrid combat system

Do you like the action combat in Apoc?

Is there any other games that have a good action combat that fits an mmorpg ? I think the combat in bdo is fluid and fast. It has flaws. I dont like all the insane "teleport" abilities that bdo have. Still think its miles ahead of what apoc have atm. Apoc combat seems to fit a BR game. But I wouldn't like to have that type of combat in an mmorpg.

@vorch21
The problem with a necro archetype, is that they make the summoner then pretty useless... they have the same gameplay idea behind it after all xD

One of my wants is an active way to prevent Node improvement. The articles on destroying an improved node have already been published, but for me this leaves one important element out - that of preventing, slowing, or reversing the improvement of a node. This is aimed at those who see "civilization" and the advancement of nodes from wilderness to village to town to city as something to be avoided and prevented and want to do all that is in their power to hinder the nodes progression.

Currently their is a way to destroy improved nodes, but no mechanism to prevent, slow, or reverse improvement.

Want: many viable gear options at max level instead of everyone going for that 1 'BIS' item

If people are gathering resources, which contributes to node development, you could attack their caravans transporting those materials and discourage further gathering. If an area becomes known for caravan harassment, future settlers may try to avoid it.

I can' really think of other options aside from PK'ing people in the area.

If you kill someone, you gain experience.

If you gain experience, the local node gains experience.

There is no way that we know of to remove experience from a node other than via siege.

You can also prevent a node from expanding by expanding the node next door to overtake the node in question.

Since basically the whole game is tied to nodes, it is highly unlikely that Intrepid would put in a mechanic to slow the leveling of them.

Dayuhan

@noaani
Yes, I agree with you that adding the ability to slow the leveling of nodes is unlikely, but since this thread was for "wishes" I was adding mine.

So, will have to work with what we got - The Wild Hunt it is!

I was thinking the same, distracting gathering and trading activities is one way to slow down the progression of nabours. However, I guess this needs to be quite systematic and have a lot of players involved to actually get some results. If few individuals tries to slow down the progression, that will most likely have almost negligible effect. Still I see this is totally doable together with other guilds for example.

I heard there will be NO STUNS IN AOC I am concerned. I think we all hate long stuns but 3 second and under stuns should be a thing.

There will be stuns, but there will be no long stuns.

I want more than six or eight people to be able to get flying mounts. A flying mount should be obtainable after max level and with considerable amounts of time and effort through different paths. For example, there should be one for top tier raids, pvp rankings, and tradeskilling. Perhaps three different mounts, but at least different skins. Vanguard: Saga of Heroes did this very well.

I most definitely want a freeform tab-target combat. NW ranged aiming is plain awful, I hope I have an option for tab-target because the aiming is horribly unforgiving with that tiny, messy reticle. /facepalm

Agreed, yep

1. I dont want to be forced to do raid content to get pvp related gear. Please don't do this.
2. I dont want to be the main savior of the world. I want to be a part of it not its sole savior.
3. Plenty of explorable areas with meaningful quests.

Honestly... I don't want micro-transactions as they break the immersion for me... But I guess it's gonna happen anyway, since people want to pay for it...

Not want: Tab Target

I'm torn on this one. Tab target has its moments. I don't want an mmorpg that feels like a shooting game. With 500 people on screen, sometimes tab targeting is the only way to play the game with all sorts of lag for some people. I definitely don't want full on tab target but as a tank, I was to be able to tab target, harpoon/pull the right mob or player and then skillfully destroy them. there can be a harmony between both.

To answer the OP. I want AoC to come out and impress millions. I don't want to have to wait forever for this haha.

Kneczhevo

What I want to see in AoC? A great community and fun things to do.

What I don't want in AoC? Is a bunch off noobs telling me how their FPS arena battles are better than MMORPG adventuring.
