What is ONE thing you dont want to see in Ashes?

I dont want to see a raid boss, instance boss or world boss just sitting there doing nothing. Have it pathing or doing something immersive.
Nothing kills ot for me more than to get to the boss and it's just sitting there like a mannequin. I feel like I have to get my quarter out and put it in its slot to start the fun.

Assassin's Creed Odyssey: Giving into pandering

It’s really hard to believe you’re after “realism” if you really think Greece wasn’t full of gay sex happening xD

Ummm, I never said realism. I'm gonna assume that you never completed english class, your context clue skills are severely lacking.

Maybe take a look at your own words before you start talking the basics conversation.

Call of Duty WW2 & V : Women did not serve on the front lines in those days. Historical context
Mass Effect Andromeda: Pushing Ryder to have gay intercourse
Assassin's Creed Odyssey: Giving into pandering

Three fairly obvious ones where you assume it should have been more “realistic”. Odyssey didn’t pander to anyone.

In Mass Effect, you certainly didn’t mention having any issue with straight intercourse “being pushed”.

And CoD, where you claim historical accuracy means there’s shouldn’t have been women NPCs? Why would that bother you if realism doesn’t matter to you?

Are you going to complain that AoC dwarves all can have facial hair? It’s a fantasy race where both sexes can grow facial hair. Is that pandering somehow, in your mind?

My biggest worry about AoC is the pseudo action combat. In my experience action combat, especially around "basic attacks" feels clunky. It doesn't really feel like your skill as a player is expressed as instead of it being about how you use your abilities and how quickly it becomes far more about "did you happen to click at the right time while running around frantically trying to face in the correct direction." This tends to devolve very quickly into two players running around each waving their weapons and hitting 1 in 10 attacks. This then leads to the longest ranged weapons having the larger arch and therefore being easier to hit with making them far stronger than anything shorter range like a dagger (practically impossible to hit with) or a sword (refer to the running around hitting 1 in 10 comment above). Just watching the dev videos we can see archers already having to resort to massive AoE abilities in conjunction with their bows to have even a chance of hitting the broad side of a barn, and even then its 50/50 whether the player hasn't dashed out of the way with one of the many mobility abilities in the game already.

DPS meters.
It's fairly hard when playing a tank or healer to see what the other players are doing.
If you play a dps and your trying the same raid with the same people and you keep failing to kill the boss due to lack of dps; It's very easy to see who's scratching there nut's (fannies) while watching netflix.

DPS meters = Flexing your ego (causes so many arguments)

Iv'e played mmo's before and after the dps metres were introduced, there's some think about them which brings out the toxicity in players.

Teleportation

Either distance matters, or it doesn't - no exceptions.

What do u mean by teleportation? Do u mean like fast traveling between two different cities?
Do u mean abilities that move u in a certain direction like a charge / blink ability?

Those are both forms of teleportation but affect the game very differently. Also how do u view summoning other players? That's also a form of teleportation which has been confirmed to be part of the game (at least for now) while still being limited.

Apologies, I wasn't explicit in my reply.

I define teleportation as fast travel between not-near each other locations & summoning by other players/methods.

In my humble opinion, the reasons given for implementing the family member summoning are poorly justified excuses, made in an effort to please as many people as possible.
I don't understand how it can be claimed that "distance matters" and wanting players to experience the world in depth, and then throw in some restricted teleportation functionality if you meet certain criteria (eg: family member).
If family members can teleport each other, why can't anybody teleport anybody?
How is that worked into the lore?
Maybe I am missing some key information or something, but for now it just doesn't sit right with me.

An empty world.... specifically, no point in having a large landmass if when you go to explore every corner of it the only thing you find is.... more landmass. I want to randomly run into hidden bosses/treasures/secret locatrions. When I find a way to climb that rocky mountain (instead of going around it on the road) I want to be rewarded by my creativity by finding something fun somewhere along the way (even if that only ends up being some super rare resource to which maybe I keep the location secret to me or sell it off etc...).

Totally agree. 👍

I don't want to see empty cities or zones. I want to see cities and towns flourishing with a believable population.

...And I don't want an art style that sacrifices quality for performance. Just sayin' is all.

The best solution for performance is just to let the players have plenty of options to optimize their experience if they want. Personally if my rig chugs like it's running a 100+ mod skyrim session while I play a gorgeous-looking Ashes, I'm fine with it.

Oh yeah! Aside from PvE, I don't want to see these stupid nerdy kid cosmetics either, I hate this trend, it destroys all possibility of immersion and makes the game just for ****.

I don't want to see lack luster character/class progression. I'm tired of being Paladin #5443958, I hope that the progression system is flexible enough that with all the classes we have to pick, that everyone will be able to adjust to their own playstyle and still be useful in PvE or PvP.

Not being able to see everything just because you arn't in a big guild,

This is a horrible idea. You want to experience everything in a group driven game but don't want to be part of a group? I think the issue may be that you have never been a part of a "good" large guild. Proper leadership is very hard to come by in mmorpgs and most people are greedy for virtual loot. Private message me if you want to hear about how I run things and you will be able to experience the entire game without worry.

Did you actually read that 1 sentence m8? I said not in a BIG guild , not solo, lone wolfing, on your jack or however you deem being alone.

Just why should all content not be accessible simply because your guild has 50 members and not say 200?

Hellfar

I do not want to see the following:

-- Flying mounts become mainstream and everyone has one.

-- Cross-server interaction where you see players from other servers on yours, competing for the same resources and mobs.

-- Looking For Group mechanics that has ruined the server communities of other MMOs.

-- Content intentionally made for groups eventually becoming soloable.

-- A large amount of cookie cutter and repetitive quest design.

-- Un-cannon storylines in the Lore.

For all its flaws, I loved that BDO cities / towns felt populated. My favorite implementation of towns remains Ultima VII where NPCs had homes, jobs, attitude and a schedule.

I remember back in the B/C WoW days I would tag an elite on my Hunter, and drag it all the way to Orgrimmar, and watch it kill everyone. Little thing's like that in a game make a world feel alive, and dangerous, and anything can happen at any moment. I hope Ashes allows that.

I don't want to be forced to pvp. Have at least a few servers that are PVE either exclusively or with limited PVP areas.

I don't want crafting to be useless at end game. Crafted gear should be as good as any gear dropped from end game raids. And don't gate end game crafting mats in raid either. Basically don't force me to play content I don't want.

Don't make things that were valuable content suddenly valueless in expansions. I'm not talking about gear being replaced I mean like say you have to collect crystal shards to purchase something in-game and after the expansion the crystal shards are worthless. Once you add them to the game leave them in the game.

Don't make achievements character specific but rather make them account-wide.

Don't race lock classes.

Group finders should be server-specific.
