Age related mistakes

Nothing breaks immersion more than seeing modern items or buildings amongst medieval looking ones. Like someone with a gun fighting axe wielding berserkers.

Also meaningless quests that are unbelievably boring really ruin one experience. Sure I can do the local farmer a favor but I dont wanna spend 2 hours doing so waiting for Monster drops

Edit: On the other hand having cars, motorcycles, helicopters etc doesn't break the immersion for me when it's done well. For example in WoW where gnomes are amazing engineers and are capable of creating things like that, and the the way those things look make sense in the whole other surrounding of the game.

Not for you but especially the chopper was also a big mimimi amongst certain groups in wow ignoring exactly that, namely everything else around them in the game.
Giant metro connecting two cities, a literal machine city, autonomos robots and so on, but the moment you saw a damned chopper... the whining oohh my dear lord. (funny enough noone whined about rapid fire guns there, that came afterwards in other games, dwarfes and guns was just too perfect a match apparently)

@grisu I dont like any of it. No guns, no whirls birds, no cars, no choppers and best yet no giggling dang gnomes. Detest them, and that stupid doe eyed race in GW2...ughhh. So glad Ashes will have neither.

He said not at the beginning. It might come into play as the world of Verra develops.

I believe he’s stated no gunpowder weapons (blackpowder) I’ve personally always been more of a fan of magi-tech in fantasy but I am mostly a JRPG player and WRPG when I can find good ones

Guns and gunpowder
Gunpowder (black powder) weapons will not be present in Ashes of Creation.

Weaponry such as Potion launchers, Siege weapons and weapons used in Naval combat are based on the arcane arts.

The elements.
The use of radiance and darkness.
As we said in the past, were not really about that black powder life. Instead it's really going to be focused on the arcane arts: The elements; the use of radiance and darkness; and then those being employed in larger weaponry, such as the type of siege weaponry between ship battles as well as those and sieges. A potion launcher is an example of the arcane energies that can be mastered in order to facilitate these highly destructive alchemical blends that can be created
