Ashes of Creation Dev Tracker

"If there is anything that this horrible tragedy can teach us, it's that a male model's life is a precious, precious commodity. Just because we have chiseled abs and stunning features, it doesn't mean that we too can't not die in a freak gasoline fight potion launcher accident."

I don't know what background research you did before your successful appointment (obviously enough!), but the above is some high quality educational material based on what we know so far from Steven. We accept that some things may need to change between now and release, but this is the best information that we have to date.
I hope you manage to get settled in before things get too hectic.
Best Regards, Mack.

Welcome @Roshen :D

So my question for you: What is the biggest MMO sin you've commited? Think ninja-looting, killing a low level player for fun, undercutting someone on the AH by 1 copper. Something of the likes :D

Years ago in EQ, we had a guildee fall asleep with levitate on. On the one side of the zone, there was water.

Since there was collision in the game, if a group of us stood right next to him and moved TOWARDS him, he would also move. Just a little.

This took a while, but we spent some time pushing him towards the water. When lev faded, he drowned. Since he didn't bank much XP into his level, he deleveled.

The next raid he had some pretty choice words for how we were bad friends....

Many questions. Handle it!

1. Rock, paper, or scissors?

Good old rock. Nothing beats that!

2. Any favorite memories from mmos that really stuck with you?

Geeking out here.

3. What sort of energy do you hope to bring to the table?

I'm generally a high energy guy, and likes finding ways to solve problems for members of the community.

4. What class are you looking forward to hearing about the most in future AoC development?

What are some of your favourite memories in MMOs?

My favorite MMO memories are the stories we tell, that OUR PEOPLE can relate to, regardless of what server we were on at a time.

A few examples:

EverQuest: Rallos Zek players organizing together as a server and deciding not to wake the Sleeper for several years. Expansions later, them coming together in an organized way across server to defeat the "unkillable raid boss."

World of Warcraft: Zul'Gurub corrupted blood making it into cities, and how each server reacted to the debuff spreading between players and NPCs.

Asheron's Call: The Shard of the Herald event, and players on the Thistledown server deciding to work WITH the event NPCs, instead of completing the event "as intended."

Even if we weren't playing these games on these servers when these things happened, we can ALL geek out about these things tog... Read more

Welcome to the team @Roshen !! I'm so excited to work with you! I think we'll make an awesome team together :smile:

Really good and constructive discussing happening here. I value the wide range of opinions and thoughts.

Seriously though, the move to UE5 is so awesome and exciting. I'm just as hyped as you are! It should make the development process much smoother, allowing them to more easily accomplish what Steven and everyone at Intrepid have set out to!

Dygz

Yes.
Those of us who know you from SOE/DBG are pretty stoked to see you hop aboard!!

WELCOME!!!

Appreciate it! Between already knowing members of the staff and player community from our time on other MMOs, I think we're all going to have a great time here ^_^

If I understand what you're discussing here - Guilds can always ally with one another! There is nothing stopping smaller guilds to ally with larger ones for a competitive advantage :J

Super excited to have you join us @Roshen !! Woot! 🤗

Hey all,

Hail and well met! Today is my first day with the Intrepid Studios team. I’m excited to be here in San Diego, and getting to know the Ashes of Creation community. Starting at Intrepid feels like a reunion to me as I come back together with great people I know from previous roles, working together on a variety of different games.

I’m an old school MMO player with way too many hours spent in game worlds like EverQuest and World of Warcraft. It’s games like these that are the reason I was motivated to work professionally in the gaming industry. I started my professional gaming career on the tabletop side of things, working on games like the World of Warcraft TCG. From there, I moved to Sony Online (which later became Daybreak Games) working on the EverQuest franchise and other titles. I’ve also worked at other studios, on MMOs like New World and Phantasy Star Online 2 New Genesis.

Digital worlds and the communities we build around them matter. I’m stok... Read more

I'm curious to see what the Tulnar lore is, and if this would be supported by lore or not! Tulnar are a very unique race with rich and deep lore, I wonder if something like this could make sense and work :O unique idea, for sure!

Leyline Orrery - What Freehold building does this fit onto? Is it for a Scholar building? It looks large. Will this take up most of a Freehold? When will the staff decide on which buildings go on which item? We've been waiting for years for an answer. Can you at least tell us if this will Not be able to be used as a house cosmetic? I think many might be buying cosmetics that they will not be able to use when the actual purpose is finally revealed. Love the designs, love the talented staff, but: If we are a Glorious Ashes Community, then don't we deserve some clarity? @MargaretKrohn @Vaknar

Hi there!

To clarify in regards to this specific thread, yes, the Leyline Orrery can be placed on your house as a housing cosmetic.

For the others asking about clarity on a larger-scale,

I know there have been quite a few questions regarding cosmetics over the years. As we g... Read more

We can think bigger. Maybe the Moon or Mars? I'll run it by the boss and see what he thinks.

Thank you for teaching me over the last 6 months. I wouldn't have made it this far without your help and awesome teamwork! You're amazing and you will be missed. I'm very excited for what the future has in store for you, I wish you the best and I look forward to our adventures in Verra :)

Sarah, it has been a pleasure sharing this journey with you over the last few years. I wish you all the best and you will always have a home in Verra with us <3

You know I absolutely adore you @LieutenantToast ! 😍💕

😭 So sad you're leaving, but I am excited to see what you do in your new career outside of the industry!

And... I know we'll see you on Verra in the future! 😉

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 - Griefing
What do you consider acceptable behavior in an MMO or PvP-based situation, and where do you draw the line at “griefing”?

Keep an eye out for our next Dev Discussion topic regarding RNG!

Can you please change which skin you have on offer? Have no desire to look like Santa in an online game and that may very well be the only thing holding me back from buying.

Cheers!

NFTs, and Tokens, are just two examples of using blockchain. They could have an internal blockchain, for instance, to manage all transactions. In the future, that could be leveraged for those other two.

I believe when Margaret said this about NFTs, she meant all aspects of blockchain :)
