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?

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.

I hope to play with you mate, very well said!

This one his hitting me right in the feels. It is really one of the best ways to describe how player legends are being born. And knowing that it has since spread beyond the gaming community makes it even better.

Starting out on the same level as everyone else, truly the same level

This is it for me right here.

But I want a new game to be passionate about, to explore a new world and cause as much chaos as humanly possible in that world.

I want a game that doesn't hand out trophies to everyone. I want my achievements to feel like real achievements. I want my difficult to obtain gear to be immediately recognizable, and when I see a higher level player walking around town I want to gawk at them and dream about the day I might be so mighty. I want to be immersed in the world with old friends and new.

-An MMORPG that has more to do than just dungeons, raid and pvp.
-A game that has variety in characters and builds, that do not become some cookie cutter platform, where everyone plays the same classes, specs.
-I want a game that promotes guild/community actually holding some weight, so there are reasons to group up and not just solo all the content... oh you want to check out this zone.. best have 4... you want to check out that zone.... best have 8. I hope zones also have variety of threats to where you need a tank, healer, melee, and ranged all grouped together to be successful (beyond just dungeons and raid content). Without ranged you will be sniped from above since melee can not reach them, without tank the baddies on the floor will wipe the cloth and leather wearers quickly. Without heals the poisonous vegetation will slowly bleed your health down before you reach your final destination no matter how many potions you bring.

These are just a few things....Obviously rich lore to make you feel connected to your race, your zone, the continents and planet are a big MUST as well.

I want my new MMO "forever home". I been hanging on to WoW in sheer desperation (well, until about a year ago) because my friends refuse to abandon the ship. I just cant get them to commit to "new" MMOs (that has been released years ago) because they dont like the feeling of starting way behind everyone else when each one of us has been around since day 1 in WoW.

Ashes gives me a chance to bring my friends and family (yes, my entire family - parents included - are MMO nerds) to a new game where they don't have to "catch up" to everyone else.

If I may be slightly delusional, then I am hoping that AoC will stay around for many years to come so that I can play it with my son (that is now 5 months old) when he grows up. c:

Other than that - I just want to soak in the fantasy feeling. Exploring, PvPing, doing stuff solo or with friends or strangers. Trying, failing, trying again and hopefully succeeding at some point.

I want an all-around enjoyable experience. I want a game that is not void of content and the sense of adventure and accomplishment is ever present and growing. Immersion is the game of the day. I want an intelligent game for intelligent players who are either casual or determined.

In other words....

I want my moneys worth!!

Ngl, i wish AOC becomes the modern lineage 2 successor.
The flagging system is there, the open world and legendary bosses are there. Basically L2 with a better combat system and a bunch of other stuff to do besides exp grind and pvp. I want to have multiple goals to look forward to, like collectables, achievements, quests, professions, etc.
If AOC doesn't become that type of game it's fine. I hope it will at least be an enjoyable new adventure and experience!

I want to be immersed in a world that the players around me help create and that I feel like I play an important but not critical role in as just another adventurer.

Relevant housing, good reasons to visit and share your home, like food buffs affected by environment and amount of family around you, a meal is best shared with friends.
Strong player interdependence, a need for others and to be needed. Crafting to be highly relevant. No party finder or cross server BS. Actual consequences. The words Epic and Legendary to mean something again, they should be hard earned. Astrology as a skill/profession or it affecting them, like brewing potions under a certain constellation. An app on the phone but only to communicate with the guild. An MMOs that I will enjoy for 20 years.

Certain beds will have rested XP benefits. Some bunk-beds will boost the rested XP if two family members are sleeping in the bed at the same time.[4]

Ashes of Creation is the place I hope to spend the next couple of decades creating friendships and memories. I just want it to be a virtual realm that acts as a catalyst to bring people together---and we, the community, take it from there.
