What do you like the most / what do you hate the most of AoC?

As a "new" adventurer here, I'm trying to catch up all the information in the forum and in youtubers' channels. I'm not playing the alpha yet, so I don't have any personal opinion based on any gameplay by my own.

As some of you do, and some would have more info about the world than me, I would like to know what's what you are liking the most and what do you hate the most / are missing on the game,

The thing that drew me to this game was the environments. The art for the environments and mobs is wonderful...the sunshafts coming through the trees is nothing short of delightful. I have loved just wandering in new areas enjoying the vistas and the sounds of the wildlife.

Positive
+Environment
+Risk vs Reward
+Open world pvp
+Criminal system
+Nodes
+Open world dungeons/raids
+Economy/politics driven
+Music and sounds in general
+Armors

This is basically for what i watch from streams and YouTube

Negative
- Melee combat
- World/raid Bosses ( no presence visually and weak mechanics in general)
- Nameplates ( i would remove in mobs, just pop when target or with the mouse)
- Dwarves ( Should be a little bigger, bulky and change that flip for a fat jump, signature racial jumps would be fun)

I have seen other things that i dislike but i think are just to early in work

Shadow Phoenix

Many of my likes/dislikes have been mentioned above, so I only have one that I can add for now that I haven't seen:

LOVE that this will NOT be cross platform. PC only

DISCLAIMER: I have not played Ashes! I have watched about 7-8 hours of stream content, read forums, the wiki, and pre-ordered the package that allows me to access Alpha 2.

After reading the thread, I think these points are a little different, but here we go ...

Positives:
+The open world. The field of vision is huge and everything feels so big (great job).
+The quests have multiple text options, though I'd suggest incorporating a toggle for insta-text/slow-read text so people can take their time or skip ahead if they'd like.
+The node system is probably the most novel MMO concept I've seen in a long time and really think it'll help the success of the game.
+The three classes we've been exposed to seem unique and versatile.
+The depth of the economy and tax systems.

Concerns:
-To be totally candid, I'm kind of nervous about the combat. I like tab-targeting and the only action-combat game I really enjoyed was Wildstar (RIP). Of course, it's alpha, but I do think they need to choose one or the other instead of this hybrid style. There are certain things they should double-down on to ensure a successful project and combat, which will count toward a majority of a player's time, is something that MUST feel good. I'm not saying this because I'm personally a fan of tab-targeting, but it's just a lot to consider when they have to balance classes in the future. Even if they did away with tab-targeting and made combat action-only, that would be a better solution to me than hybrid combat.
-As much as I don't like the notion behind "linear" quest progression (sounds very unexciting), I do think it's a necessary evil. I wasn't a huge fan of watching someone in the alpha pick up a level 3 quest and then a whopping level 15 quest from the same NPC. I think there needs to be some kind of restriction to this content so newer players aren't getting smashed by this stuff, and it just seems like a pain to run to a location to find the quest would be impossible at your level (even with a group), only to double-back because you got a new quest later on.

SUPER pumped for this game. Think it's going to be great. Just some feedback!
