Man, "this" Forum is kinda dead ... ...

... ... ... or am i kinda imagining things ?

I mean, i miss these monthly Presentations, too.

When everything looked still dandy and cool. When everything still seemed like everything is gonna be amazing and awesome. And to be honest,

it STILL is amazing and awesome. But now there is this nasty, annoying, looming Shadow over everything -> there is Bugs everywhere -> the Classes take the same Eternity to come as we waited from from the likes of Summer 2023 to actual Start of Alpha Two in late October of 2024,

and the only thing we see now monthly is next to nothing and maybe a few things like a veeeeryyyyyy naked, bone-bare Footage of new Dungeons and a while ago the Informatio that new Enemies like "The GIANTS" take apparently only like 2 Days to design or so and/or patch into the Game.

The only thing i see since the likes of December in this Forum : are Topics about either things we can not change anyway : or nothing new. Maybe i sound too harsh - but the "Action" and "Excitement" from before December 2024 is gone.

2030, anyone ?
2028 ?
2029 ?

I hear these Dates for Release again and again. People won't shut about it. It is the new "AoE is dead/a Scam"-kind of trope. I am thankful already that this Forum didn't turn out completely like that, too.

I miss the monthly Presentations from the likes of Summer 2023 to the likes of March 2024 or so. Whatever this now is, can just not keep up. It is not up the task. (lol)

We've had some spammers lately, so Intrepid most likely implemented some modding tools to slow down post frequency.

I post when I can't play. My guess most are just playing

The fact that I don't feel the need to constantly post "I told you so", and so have been posting much less probably has an effect on the over all activity on these forums.

The people who enjoy playing Ashes the most give their feedback in other places, and don't have a lot to discuss in long form, right now.

Posting takes away precious bug-hunting time.

In the period until A2 launched, we had monthly streams about the same things, with the same questions and little content. Now we have a real project that is in development. So it's normal that there are no people here, everyone is playing or took a pause or left a project. There are still people, and quite a few of them, who are disappointed in Steven's vision for the game. But I’m surprised to be honest, because it was always clear what this game would be about.

Well this might be part of the reason? FYI my post included factual questions regarding some PC spec, screen resolution, driver version etc. Welcome to camp freedom.

Since the start of alpha 2 there hasn't been much for an outsider to comment. Most dev updates have presented new locations, which can be interesting, but doesn't give a lot of relevant perspectives if you can't access it first hand.

No new races, unless you count the Dunir being back in game. Rogue was barely glimpse in the January update, not enough to say anything about it. Has there been new mechanics or game loops introduced since October? Maybe, but none really caught my fancy, might be a me thing, I don't know.

Most forums topics are about things has they are within the alpha, so if you're not in there isn't much constructive comments. It can give us on the outside a idea of how things are, but everything is biased by whom it was posted by, their playing experiences, preferences and expectations. So, meh.

There's been spammers lately. This is a countermeasure.

this is normal. the alpha opens and people get excited, you could call it the honeymoon phase. there's lots of new content being placed in as these new biomes and nodes are added. testing the new stuff is locked behind a pretty massive grind through broken, buggy, hyper competitive, incomplete systems.

It is. There is no cake that is better than the best pies.

Yeah, I think they're trying to wind it down so they have less places to maintain.
