Do you think the game will live up to it's hype?

Me and a couple of my friends and probably most of you as well are hyped for the game but there were so many other promising games (not in this genre specifically) that didn't live up to the player's expectations (ignore the unrealistic expectations).

What do you think?

Though, @Nerror will get some 10 min rifts.

Ignore my words wanting to promote casual and normal folks to be happy with playing megalodon's xD

I'm glad your getting my prehistoric vibes about ow pvp but I just want to be clear, I really care for people, I don't want a one track game and I want everyone playing to their strengths. An mmo doesn't just have to be about high octane PvP or PvE and for me games like Archeage and Ultima Online inspired and gave me hope.

Atm I just hope people don't obsess with how gear should be because focusing on that and the typical vertical path just leads ultimately to too much division that I don't like, it pisses me off but there still needs to be a reason and a hunger for the economy, which is so important!
I hope this game will hype people up in all sorts of ways from improving their gold gain in their own enjoyable way, farmer, shop keeper, hunter, battle pet chicken fighter experts, guild thieves, treasure map explorers, caravan trader, tame seller, crafters and more that all ties in with world function.

I hope it will. We have got a plenty of eye candy but still most of the mechanics and systems are missing and therefore, it might still take years.

Depends on what you interpret as hype...

For me, I am very hyped about an MMO that has OWPVP where players pay attention to their surroundings and are more immmersed when they notice a stealthed rogue in the distance and other players moving in groups and solo farmers and such.

It is definitely not a carebear game which I can't wait to see happen, since I myself play MMO's purely for some challenging PVP action.

I think the game will be above mediocre on release and great when it gets tuned from years of balancing updates. Similar to Albion online.

The difference is Albion is a low cost game, it's not too expensive for them to maintain (plus they only have NA servers, no EU/SEA/OCE/etc. so even less cost from a server standpoint).

If Ashes is just mediocre at launch then I dunno if they'll be able to sustain development until they can patch the game to a good point.

lol I know I know. I'm just trolling. Someone had to be cast for the role though. It was either you or George Black

No. The game has great ideas but I don't see a strong enough foundation to hit the mark, plus, the themepark aspects heavily detract from the product. I'd like to be surprised, though.

All I need is open world PvP and no p2w. It will live up to that.

The self-imposed hype is manageable and have a high chance of success.

For a very long time, I have been looking for a western MMO set in a high fantasy setting, with a subscription-based model without P2W, good graphics, a holy trinity (tank, healer and dps), player housing, crafting skills and a wide class selection.

The fact that the game is being developed by a former MMO-player, with an ambition of building the best gameplay experience, no publisher to cut back on content or features - or rush a release, a slow and dynamic growth of developers with a keen interest for MMO's, bolster my belief in the project so much so that I actively advertise it's near guaranteed success among friends and family.

This is a passion project built by people that love the genre, and want to see the game become as good as it can be. They are utilizing the most up to date and best supported game engine, have built proprietary tech to improve network code, and consider mounts an untapped potential.

This game not only checks all the must-haves, it checks nearly all the nice-to-haves as well.
