what do you want from ashes?

for me i want to experience the feeling of starting a new adventure again, starting off as a adventurer in a big world, walking down dark windy roads with the fear of being ambushed by something to high for you to even see its level, the first times seeing zones, getting lost and spending hours just exploring,

seeing high levels standing around in high level gear and using it as motivation to push forward and grow my character, i miss the feeling that your character is unique and is your identity on the server, all these old nostalgic feelings,

i love what they are doing wish the armor sets but i really hope it doesnt ruin the immersive feel of a new world and server

what are you guys most excited for?

The best combat in the genre and Intrepid can deliver.

A game that doesn't turn out to be a grind or a job to attempt to be relevant. And no endgame lol...

I want to ctrl alt delete > task manager my brain while playing and see higher than the 5% brain usage most modern games require. When I succeed, I want to be rewarded. When I fail, I want to be punished.

I want a game that caters to emotionally mature and stable people who can take the losses just like they can take the wins. Normal people as we used to call them. I want all of this, as opposed to the button mashing, dopamine injector simulators that we now call games.

Games are made to create addiction.
I think chances are small AoC to attract players who have not played an mmorpg before because they will not understand why AoC is better. They'll come with different expectations which other mmorpgs fulfill and exploit to lure them there.
But this would be what I would expect from AoC, to be able to retain first time mmorpg players.

I just want to play, i have been following this game for years, just release alpha 2 so i can get started, i have no finger nails left.

There's some cool ideas in there.

I'm probably wanting too much from the mmorpgs genre with the technological limits we currently have. However, before we have a quantum computer in every home, I will be satisfied with an immersive world which feels like I'm not the centre of it but still having an important role to play in my immediate environment. I want to be part of a greater whole that has a meaningful effect on the world. A world which changes. For example, old raid bosses that end up being vanquished and their homes taken up with other creatures who fill the void, maybe even by the races that once were enslaved by them and their old masters becoming the stuff of myth and legend.

Wishful thinking list despite current limitations of the genre:

A game that continues to grow, without becoming a hockey stick of never ending power, which of course is not sustainable. That's probably the hardest one. and I'm not sure if everyone is after that sort of thing from this title anyway.

I could add a heap of things here, but it's pointless. I just hope they make a good game which will last a number of years, I see a great potential.

An engaging, immersive experience I can spend most of my free time in, where I also feel I won't be left behind if I take a small break. Should be easy to make

I want alpha 2 to come out, so I can really figure out what I want.

Three things in life...

You can have it Good, Fast, or cheap... but you only get two of these.

If you want it fast and good.. its not gonna be cheap.

I mainly want a world where its just fun to be apart of, even if thats just sitting in town not doing anything. I really want a good transmog and armor system so that the way you look can really be different from everyone else. And I just want a really fleshed out necromancer class. After reading the Awaken Online books where the main character plays as a necromancer in an mmorpg vr game I've become obsessed with the idea of being a powerful necromancer, but every mmorpg game really restricts what a necromancer can do and necromancers just feel bad.

For me it's exploring and discovering things. To a certain degree I am not sure whether that is even possible anymore with all the influencers doing spoiler livestreams, people watching that and then acting ingame like they knowledgeable veterans, but still - I just want this sense of awe in a game again, where you have vast lands that you can explore, materials you can turn into new awesome gear and animals you can tame to roam those lands.

WoW Burning Crusade did a good job with the discovery portion, when they withheld flying mechanics till you were max level but showed you a ton of stuff you knew you could check out once you have a flying mount. I really liked that.

But really, with what Ashes at least tries to ultimately do, this is the first time I feel I'll enjoy the farming and production side of the game more than the fights (potentially). I really want to see what mounts I might be able to breed and what amazing armor sets I may be able to craft.

The whole premise of the game to not be the chose champion, half son of Sailor Moon Highpriestess who died after giving birth and Cthulhu to retrieve the infinity ring that you have to throw into Mount Vader and save the entire time space continuum trope is just... nah, it doesn't work when 8000 other people are told the same thing. Just let me be one of millions of people who are nothing special and had to chill through the apocalypse in an interdimensional pocket and who are now trying to help their companions carve out a new life once the dust has settled. That's epic enough. I don't need to save the world on my own, I just need to help making it a nice place again for those who don't want to or can't fight.

Loving all these answers

I look forward to being challenged, immersed, and creating my own adventures alongside others

Then early access was invented, where the developers spoil the content before the game is ready. And sell it full of bugs. Agile development might some call it.

The only thing I want is... Bag space and lots of it. Im very klepto when it comes to mmos.

I want a game I can finally call my "Main" game and really play. I mean do everything the game has to offer, at my own pace. I've done this with finite story games, but never an ever-living world. Closest I've had to this would be Destiny or ESO.

I hope all my friends who like mmo's can come together and we can all play this game.

I'd like this to be the game I finally find a reason to push out of my Uber-Introvert shell and actually join a guild/Talk to people. I've always been a solo player due to the commitment it would require to truly be in a guild. I've never found a game I've been willing to commit to on that level. Closest was Destiny (1 and 2) but 95% of content doesn't require social interaction beyond pick-up-groups. Ideally, a nice portion of content in this game would be hard enough to encourage me to group up with other players without it being practically a requirement.

In a perfect world, Ashes comes to Xbox with cross-save/cross-play so I can play on my preferred platform where the majority of my friends reside. I've never known why, but If a game was available on both pc and Xbox, I always choose Xbox. It sucked when they canceled Elite Dangerous for the console even though I have an objectively superior PC.

I want a game where player figures can be born. Like Leeroy Jenkins. Maybe some infamous mayor takes power and creates a notable event in player history.

I like the prospect of near-unique items, like flying. Maybe Some group of players clear some dungeon and earn a truly unique title or weapon skin.

Now, being realistic, I don't expect this game to live up to my dreams. I fully expect some aspects to be awesome and some to be just not right. Maybe the way it "feels" to move my character around and swing my weapon just doesn't feel right. Not enough weight or whatever. Things like this. What gives me hope is the degree of player feedback that is being taken into account by the devs. Even if/when they get things wrong, I know their hearts are in the right place. I've seen it over the years. I'm huffing the Hopium.
