QOTD:How serious do YOU plan on taking this game when it launches?

i'm not sure if ill be able to get on tomorrow so ill be posting it now
self explanatory tittle, do you plan on sinking thousands of hours in the first year or two after launch, play the game as a casual player or sink 10000 hours into the game in the first 2 years of launch like me?
tell me why you made the choice YOU made!

If the game is as good as I think it'll be then it might be the last MMO I play assuming it doesn't die. I'm just glad to try a game in the old MMO style again because WoW kind of reshaped the genre when that came out. It didn't do so in the best way after they changed it drastically in cataclysm. The classes feel boring now and want to play a game that actually cares about how unique the classes are.

Balance is important but when you use what I call the WC2 balancing strategy of everything essentially being the same on both sides it leads to just having the same play style no matter what class you choose. Which sucks. xD

As such I'll probably convert my WoW time to Ashes time and that would be about 6-8 hours a day. I'm disabled so it's essentially all my free time.

Planning on no-lifing the first 3-4 months and after that play as much as possible according to Real Life work and stuff. but the first 3-4 months? Live and Breathe AoC!

Like tops 4 hours a day. Maybe 6 hours if I have some free time? Not a chance that I'm putting my life aside for a game.

That being said, I love doing guild managerial stuff so I'd probably spend extended periods of time outside the game managing that.

I do NOT want my experience to take less than 4-6 months. This is just about non post-game content. Ofc this will be several alts, and a long amount of time doing artisan skills and not just levelling, but still.

I am going to join when it launches in May (fingers crossed). I have a lot going on next year so going to level slow and work on crafting. I am in it for the long haul if it pans out to be what we all hope. Mainly weekend play the first year with 4-6 hours during the week.

10000 hours in the first 2 years would mean 14 hours a day

launches on may? i think your talking about the 1month long alpha 1 test for alpha 1 test users and above
thats not a launch
launch isnt set but most people are saying it could be up to 2-3 years from now lol

If it launches among AAA titles, then perhaps it will need to shine harder to get a hook on the player base, or perhaps if launched during a quieter period, maybe it has a chance to let players get sufficiently engrossed and committed such that other titles become less appealing.

So for me, how serious this is played will largely depend on the timing of the release and the status of the market it is entering and perhaps also how much content and polish it has achieved to keep me from wandering..

Chime

Have a full time job and being a parent, plus interests outside of gaming so maybe 2-3 hours a day during the work week. Weekends very I'll either play 5+ hours or just when I can get on. It just really depends, but I'm really looking forward to the game.

OK I just glanced really quick and looked but thought maybe get a quick answer here..At what stage of testing is AOC in right now ? 2nd question What are the chances of what ever stage of testing its in of me paying what ever to get in or what would be the earlist time to get in ? I was keeping up awhile back but got tired of waiting and went back to playing another game I dont think I am allowed to say..Anyways I am just looking for something new and that is deceit and that does not have a release date of 2024 for these few here and ok yeah these few here, oh but wait you guys over here have to wait for like 6 months..I have been out of MMOs for awhile and back into them about 8 months ago and I am starting to see a pattern with these games coming out..I dont mind paying, but it sux paying $375. to play a game six months later or longer..

Alpha one testing starts next week. You cant get onto that now. For $250 you can get into alpha 2 testing but we don't know when that will be. Full release is probably at least 2 years away, but again we don't know, this is just speculation.

I no-lifed wow classic pretty hard. Depending on if the game comes out in the next couple years or not I may or may not be in a position to leave my job for two weeks when the game launches, try and find another and then get back into the work force. I do intend on no-lifing at launch though. Got no responsibilities and no kids!

Play as much as I can without having negative impact on the rest of life.
I'm just hoping the game will have absolute zero time gated quests like daily and weeklies, I despise those quests with all my heart.

If Ashes of Creation is the game I believe it will be....

It will be my “final game” (mmo). I doubt i will play much of anything else from here on out. I plan to commit fully to it.

I am building a PC just for this game. I've been a console player my whole life. It really looks like a game I can sink 8+ hours a day into.

I intend on building a new PC for Ashes as well.
