Ashes of Creation Dev Tracker

Depraved

THE END OF PREORDER MEANS THE START OF ALPHA >:)

Just to be clear for people reading this - We did not say this. There has been no announcement on Alpha Two dates at this time <3

What you're describing reminds me of the way that some mass sieges work in games like Battlebit Remastered, or also World of Warcraft Epic Battlegrounds such as Alterac Valley, if I recall correctly. In which there is an overall resource, and deaths (and sometimes other actions) reduce it for the enemy team.

Feel free to check out the official feedback thread for the June livestream here: https://forums.ashesofcreation.com/discussion/55773/feedback-request-alpha-two-freehold-preview-shown-in-june-livestream/p1

This topic is similar to one of the questions we offered to players! You might find some conversations and opinions in there interesting to you <3

Interesting thought-starter! A twist to this idea could be each individual tavern keeper keeping track of their patron's wins/losses! May not be a good idea, but figured I'd add it to the conversation here! :)

AoC's lore will be told to us through the story itself, so any big lore dumps would be complete spoilers rn. And any basic lore for the game is already available on the wiki
https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Lore

Steven doesn't want to give up too much lore, because he wants us to experience it in the game itself.

Nice wiki drop! And this is the truth :) We really want to keep our lore cards close to our chest, so to speak :)

While it wouldn't be impossible to give lore drops more often; that might step on the toes of the awesome work our narrative and quest designers are doing to masterfully deliver the lore of Verra to you while you're playing Ashes of Creation! :)

With that said, I'm curious @Chicago , what is your experience with open-world dungeons? My own is pretty somewhat, so it's always interesting hearing if others are similar to me in that sense, or if they have a lot of experience with open-world dungeons!

@Roshen and I talk about this often, as he has a lot of open-world dungeon/raid experience in MMORPGs! :)

Just in case anyone *does* want a refresher, here is what has been said regarding server population on the wiki ;)

hopefully September pack is something special then!

We'll do our best! <3

It's always fun to theorize and create ideas for what could be cool in a fantasy MMORPG! Love seeing creative ideas being posted on the forums <3

Some were requesting the Dev Discussion - In-Game Content image without the text!

Here ya are! :)

Glorious Ashes community - it's time for another Dev Discussion! Dev Discussion topics are kind of like a "reverse Q&A" - rather than you asking us questions about Ashes of Creation, we want to ask YOU what your thoughts are.

Our design team has compiled a list of burning questions we'd love to get your feedback on regarding gameplay, your past MMO experiences, and more. Join in on the Dev Discussion and share what makes gaming special to you!

Dev Discussion - In-Game Content
What are you looking forward to most in-game?

An example may be a game system, a fantasy you hope to carry out, or a specific activity with other players!

Keep in mind that everything we show is alpha stage footage and gameplay! The environments aren't complete, and haven't had touch-ups or finishing touches applied to them! This includes lighting, textures, etc! <3

Even still, your feedback is much appreciated! :)

This thread is generating some thoughtful feedback! Threads such as these are quite insightful. Be sure to drop your feedback on the official thread for the stream, if you haven't already!

So your concerns are mostly that of alts taking away from some experiences? From my own experience, I've usually kept most of my playtime to one or two characters on a server, just because that's what my time allows. I know friends who have had many alts, but they also generally had more time to invest!

Glad to hear that you enjoyed the showcase and this interesting mechanic! Be sure to drop your feedback in the official thread, if you haven't already! I know that this was a topic our team was especially interested in hearing thoughts on :wink:

Hello glorious community,

We’d like your feedback on the Alpha Two Cleric Archetype Updates shown during the July 2023 Development Update Livestream.

To help guide this conversation, here are a few thought starters you can choose from:

[*] Do you prefer abilities that have more single and specific uses, or abilities that have versatility with how they can be used?
[*] How many held abilities (think abilities you hold down or charge) do you prefer in an Archetype kit?
[*] How do you feel about being able to use Flash Cure during other abilities?
[*] What excites you about playing as, with, or against the Cleric Archetype?
[*] What are your favorite Cleric archetypes in other games? Please provide examples when applicable.
[*] Is there anything in particular you’re excited, or concerned about regarding what was shown with the Cleric... Read more

yep, It will be fun to see how it plays out, the spies, the treason, the backstabbing!! The Murder!!! Muhahahahaha

I like where your head is at >:)

Thanks for making this post, and calling out the information and discussions from that surprise appearance from Steven!

Hope everyone has a chance to check it out :)

Hiya! We do record Office Hours for internal use only.

In order to share the recordings with players, we'd need consent from everyone involved. This isn't easy to do, and doing so would likely change the nature of Office Hours.

For now, Office Hours is live only! We currently alternate the times between 11am PT and 4pm PT! <3
