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.

One thing that i don't want to see, hmm...

Well if I have to pick one it will have to be: I do not want to see Intrepid bending their knee to the vocal minority, especially when it comes to changing core game systems completely.

There seems to be a number (minority) of individuals in the community who seem to think they know the ins and outs of what Intrepid studios is designing and exactly how everything is going to play out in this game already and why it will not work. I find this very interesting considering the game isn't even in the Alpha phase just yet. I also believe it is kind of disrespectful at times how some individuals think that with all the talent and experience from so many different backgrounds that the Intrepid studios has accumulated this far are completely unable to find solutions to potential problems. We haven't even seen what they are planning to do... Especially when the game is not even if Alpha state and most core game systems have not been tried/testsed yet.

Please do not confuse this with Intrepid not taking in feedback. They most definitely should do, but this should be agreed by a considerable amount of the community AND should still fit in with the overarching design ideas/systems of what this game is being built on. This game has some strong core ideas and I would personally hate seeing these being changed into systems which would create another WoW clone.

That's just my opinion, if others disagree then they're perfectly free to do so.

1. Want a name plate on the houses ...the name Plate should be editable, so that we can write our name on our house. 2. Builds of classes should be hidden so that none can spectate it without wish of owner of class.It should be hidden totally.

I don't want to see people, who spend money in the cash-shop, looking better than players that have invested several hours into the game. Alas, it looks like this is going to be a problem in AoC.

It's fine bro

Is this projected or confirmed? If I can't at least flag my character as a non-combatant for PVP my interest in this game just hit zero.

Ashes has always advertised as a PvX game. It’s been confirmed since day one.

Thanks. I'm rather new to this game and I was not aware. That's too bad my sons and I were looking for a new MMO to play together and this game sounded very interesting. I think this game would have had a fairly wide appeal if that were not the case. My experience in PVP games is that it brings out the worst examples of the gaming community.

Hope the game works out for you.

Change your keybinds.......I mean with sons it's good too ...u will have a house to protect....by becoming stronger u will show your son's u r capable of protecting them , this will give u a wonderful feeling and sons will look happy, that my dad actually doing something for us in game rather than just money grinding in real life.

I know this is probably inevitable, as it happens in every community, but I definitely don't want there to be toxicity in the zone chat of the game. There is nothing more immersion shattering than having people chatting about the woes of the real world and angrily debating politics when I'm trying to escape that very thing by logging into a video game. I don't like muting or hiding zone chat because it can be really helpful, especially in this game - I would think Z.C. would be where grouping and coordinating, selling of goods, etc will take place.

Instead, its very refreshing to see players answering questions for newer players and helping them with quests, coordinating parties and such. Problem is, its too difficult for a company to monitor on a daily basis. It happens in every game and I know its a long shot to not see toxicity, but this community has been really cool to watch in my short time here - I definitely think this community is capable of being amazing to each other. Just my $0.02

I agree 100%, I want the boss the be actively trying to take out large groups and pumping out mechanics in areas for players to face off against on the fly while they handle rival guilds and players at the same time. If they aren't going to have DPS meters I hope its because I need to hybrid my build so while it may not be optimal, it can handle boss mechanics and counter player tactics. Make tanking matter in more than a traditional manner so we have to protect our allies from multiple points of interest, if they make this work it would be highly active and require a "think on your feet" style of play that I can absolutely get behind.

@Xenotex to further your point, this also applies while we are fighting the boss adds(plenty of info on the wiki about boss/raid fights) have the boss doing something, supporting his generals, or his baby goons, be it buffing, rallying, healing etc.
To take this a step further, instead of us players training the boss to certain area how about the boss trains us across the world, within reason of course.

Meaningless PVP

Griefing-Archeage suffers greatly as nations when you allow people of that same nation to steal, destroy, obstruct the goals of the nation by a few. If you are trying to build up nations it is tough to do when people can be jerks with no way to really combat their behavior.

Zergs-Good RVR is not huge guilds or combinations of guilds rolling through the rest of the people in the game. RVR if a part of the game should be limited to similar numbers for each side.

Huge empty cities that seem to have nothing going on inside them.

Excuse my ignorance, I am completely new to the game, but how do you PvE while someone is attacking you?

I’d appreciate it if anyone could explain better how the system is supposed to function or point me in a direction when I can read up a little more about it.

You dont. Its why this game is in serious trouble.

Dont think this game is in any trouble, i think this game in very good position to offer something no other modern game can offer. If you get attacked while raiding, means you need better tactics to get the raid killed. Scout area, be prepared to disengage, fight off potential attackers, reengage the boss and kill it. Keep in mind, that people wont be able to just tp right back to the raid once killed. So if you win pvp, you have window of oportunity to take down the raid, so raiding will be much more interesting than just plain PVE WOW type of raids.

This isn't a RvR game like DAoC, ESO, GW2, and Warhammer were. Any factions will be created by players and there are no limitations to who you can kill, besides of course the corruption system. This game seemingly will have good viability for zerg busting through guild buffs and group synergy, but we just need to wait and see.

I don't think there's much meaningless PvP besides low level ganking in ashes, which will be heavily punished through corruption. All the PvP is tied to controlling nodes, resources, areas, and more. It all seems to have a purpose to me.

My concern is that there will be a desire for new servers every month to allow those who are not part of a group that owns something to go off and try again on another server. Archeage has done this and it seems to work for them in re creating a revenue stream as you have to start over and buy everything again. What eventually happens is you end up with servers with not enough people and constant heavy churn or turnover.

BDO has a node system that allowed smaller guilds to take smaller nodes and their node combat was pretty fun and required strategy and allowed you to buy certain items for defense etc. I was part of the secondary guild of one of the largest guilds. The secondary guild was newer players or players that were not as committed to being the best having the best gear, or could not play as much as others. It worked and it didn't. BDO required working heavily with other guilds to attempt to take castles and that made the game interesting. Sometimes guilds would all vie for the same node and never fight just to give it to one of the guilds.

It will be interesting to see how they do it here.

Right, because the majority of people want to fight off griefers while raiding. Its why its such a successful and used system in MMO's....oh wait.

Griefers?

Its one of the core concept of the game, that you need to fight off other people to kill any raid or to have a good exp/drop spot

what are you doing here at all?:D

I've been pondering this question and thread, for some time. I finally figured on something that would bother me, for AoC

When Star Wars Galaxies was in development. They were open to the community and their desires for their MMORPG.

There were some fantastic suggestions, and most were implemented.

Unfortunately, they implemented so many player suggestions, the game deviated from it's core design; faction pvp.

Instead, it became a Crafting and Cantina Dance Party. Don't get me wrong. I love both, and these were great features. But, that's not why I joined, I was expecting faction pvp. Instead, I found myself dancing and monitoring my factories.

As much as I wanted to train a Rancor, everyone had one. They weren't rare, rats were less common.

So, my point being? I don't want Intrepid to cater to the players. I hope they stay with their core design and features, and only add where nessisary. So far, I am pleased with Intrepids decisions, but that can always change.

Ninja Looting Raid Boss. Just spent 4 hours to down a boss, just for some invisible rogue to come in and snatch it, or it's harvest and teleport away.

Loot goes to the group that did the most damage to the boss from what I understand.

Yeah, my pessimism is rising rapidly.
