What You Want To AOC

As we all know, Alpha 2 is due out next year. We’ve had a lot of great showcases detailing this highly ambitious MMO. I’m personally very happy with what I’ve seen and haven’t been so excited for a game perhaps ever.
With that being said, we basically get one instance of gameplay per month with goals of showcasing specific systems, features, or archetypes. CROSS POSTED WITH REDDIT FOR MORE RESPONSES
LEADING UP TO A2 (as in recently or post A1) , what is one thing you’re wanting to see soon? Example: A specific archetype, a specific mechanic, naval content, stock market, augment/skill trees, etc etc.
I’m hoping to use this as I means if gathering data/feedback if the community and perhaps this could be used to Intrepid as well. Also, apologies for the Punny Title; I’m a dad.

Personally, I would love it if they walked back on there not being a climbing system for Ashes. I would love to be able to have the ability to climb up on top of sheer mountain cliffs and statues, just to be able to get on top of the thing. Or simple things like a keep tower, a city wall, or building. Maybe it could be an expansion. But getting on top of things is apart of exploring for me, and I like the idea of unconventional parkour.

Personally, the less invisible walls to stop me from getting on top of a thing and a place, the better.

Next, I would love to be able to make an in game player map, and for that map to have value and meaning. Maybe as a scribe I could make a living as an in game cartographer. I would love to just be paid to go to places, find things, and see places. When I get tired? Go home, relax, and tell people about what I saw.

Or that time me and my body guards almost died because we happened on a dragon nest.

Does Ashes HAVE to be about combat for everyone? I mean, it can be a dangerous world and apart of being an adventurer might be having to fight our way out of a sticky situation. But, going to places and seeing things. That's enough for me.

I didn't know they decided to not do that... That does make it feel less dimensional of a game especially for boss encounters/dungeons.

They could make it so certain surfaces are essentially more impossible to climb or deplete your climbing resource much faster so you cant go far on it. Maybe in nodes have a no climbing law to prevent stupid game breaking things from occurring.

Could also have it so a tool slot is required for it where the climbing spikes dull over time as well.

Would love to see more biomes, racial architecture, and armour sets other than those for cosmetics or humans in the Riverlands

Seeing PvP, flagging, corruption in both open world and a dungeon would be awesome.

I'd also be curious to hear, in addition to what you're looking forward to most, which livestreams this year have been your favorite, and why? c:

My favorites were system showcases with gameplay, like the node stream, caravans, freeholds, story arc, weather etc I feel like those really delivered and surpassed expectations and gave a boost of confidence in the project,

I couldn't enjoy the archetype/combat streams as much as I'd like to because they are all shown in tab-target mode perspective, ever since the first ranger stream there isn't even a mention of the hybrid mode with steven or another dev swapping between tab and action camera, this is a piece of feedback I'd like to give and hopefully when we get to the next archetypes/combat showcases we get to see both camera modes being used

Looking forward for a pvp and corruption system showcase as well,

Something I'm curious about is why we haven't seen gameplay with dunir, nikua, renkai and vaelune or gameplay in any other biome other than the riverlands in almost 3 years now, I wonder if those will be there at the start of A2 so looking forward for finding that out

Ganking and baiting people into fights, would be cool seeing what can be done if 10 people jump on 1 solo guy. Can he run? Can he deflect? What is the level difference between them that will make the fight possible?

Ganking is an extreme way of really testing pvp, controled enviroments like arena are not a true test

I'm still waiting to see some of the augment system in action

Chocometeor

I want to see the ROGUE/Assassin please i dont know why but i kinda thought thats going to be the next class that will be shown to us and now im waiting for it every month.

Underrated request here. I love the idea of voices bards even if the quest npcs aren’t voice acted. They give an immersive feel. I literally always seemed out the bards upon entering a new town in the elder scrolls online. Was about idk just 13 or so songs? But each npc sang it differently of course being different characters so it’s just like covers and a nice touch.

That's easy. Crafting. Crafting. Crafting. After that, crafting.

A glorious Man on a Blizzcon said something wise in recent Days.

" In Time, my Friend. In Time. "

arsnn

In this order
1. PvP/ action combat
2. Node experience but with all services and mechanics actually working
3. A dungeon experience
4. Crafting and life skills. Basically non combat player activities

SemperPeratus

Would like a calendar system, just like World of Warcraft. But ofcourse better

I'd definitely like to see a Bard showcase before A2 starts and would like to see a teaser showcase of underwater dungeons & Underwater treasure hunting.

My favorites were the Archetype showcases and their class kits. Freeholds would've been my favorite but i personally didn't like the changes they decided to make with limiting it to lvl 50.

Can't agree with you more on this. This is definitely something i've been waiting for. I know its still in development so i've been trying to ask questions on just getting the "Names" of the different schools of augmentations, but haven't succeeded in that yet ;P

100% the most impactful thing we need to see is the secondary archetype augment system. It could be one of the most defining aspects of AoC and will fundamentally define the depth of the game.

I mean, if we are truly getting 64 different classes, with 8 meaningfully differentiated healers (for example) and such, as opposed to getting one healer with 8 different flavors, that's going to be huge.

I personally think we're getting 64 mostly unique classes and am ready to get flamed by the naysayers (again). Steven has made very direct comments to this affect. But we need to see it to really know.

Solvryn

1) True Hybrid Combat

2) Summoner

3) Tulnar

4) Alchemy, Herbalism, Siegesmithing, Arcane Engineering, and things that go boom.

6) Boats/Siege

7) And my own Negalith Watermount

8) Also delete bows, add back cross bows and make Ranger a permanent support class.

It would be cool to see a full character build set up. Aka show me a class, with a secondary archetype, religion, social group, and race. Pick and choose between the augments and create a unique build. It would be nice to see how unique the characters will be.

Tracking ... if planned to be implemented
