That reply was "f*ck you". Not to me (nor from me), not the game, but specifically to the creative director.

Hi Steven,

I am hard core PvE player who loves to min/max my character and performance. I love going through my combat logs and analysis them to improve my performance. I understand there will be no in built dps meters but do you plan to log combat text to a log so that we can go through them at later time?

I come from Everquest 2 (many of your developers worked on that game) and that game does not have in built dps meters but it has detailed combat log. So you plan to do something like this please?

Thanks



Hello friend,

Yes there are combat logs :)

Hello friends! I love reading all of the comments and opinions here. There was also a very large thread on dps meters A little while back, where I felt Noaani articulated the position in favor of DPS meters very well.

My decision is not to allow DPS meters nor add-ons. I feel we have adequate measures in place to prevent a majority of potential third party trackers. I know this subject has passionate voices on both sides and I respect the various opinions and positions many of you have expressed ❤️

The summon ability in current design could not be used if the member being summoned was in combat, corrupted, or in an event (caravan battle, siege, war) and they would need to have their mats, gatherables, or certs in their warehouse/storage not in their inventory. Otherwise the summon would fail. But as I said, this will all be tested. 😁❤️

I feel the questions posed are pretty neutral. I definitely don’t agree with the hyperbolic mind control accusations. While I’ve played a mage in many games, I’ve yet to master the art of control magic in real life.

I even prescreened the poll questions on discord first to see if anyone had issues with the language! Lol

From what I've heard Steven say, they will be keeping a very close on this mechanic throughout the Alphas, Betas, and even on launch. I am sure they will find systems to put in place to prevent any abuse, just throwing some of my ideas out there.



Yup. This one will be closely watched during testing. Dual cool down is another idea I’ve had as well :)

The likelihood is very high for Sydney or Melbourne based OCE servers. A large contingency here is the size of the OCE population as we approach launch.

Hi there - as the Support & FAQ forums are more for account support and help and this appears to be a more detailed discussion on massive PvP, I'm going to go ahead and move it over to our Discussion section instead :smiley:

Greetings my glorious ashes community.

As I am human, I do make mistakes from time to time. So wanted to clarify a couple of design faux pas from today’s stream.

With regards to housing and citizenship.

It is being implemented for testing the way that was originally documented and will require housing ownership in a node before citizenship can be attained. A village will have 50 initial apartments, 8 cottages and ample space in the ZOI for freeholds. The mayor may additionally construct apartment buildings when the node hits stage 4 at one of the building plots in the node, along with cities gaining additional static housing and apartments by default as a normal part of the leveling process.

On the matter of the declaration flag/scroll for castle sieges.
Guild registration opens for the siege.

Once a guild registers for the siege a scroll creation quest is initiated that guild members may participate in, and it becomes possible to ... Read more

Dev Discussion #19 - Dungeon Scaling
Should open world dungeons scale up in difficulty significantly as you go deeper (ex. level 30-50), or should the difficulty band of a given dungeon be more narrow from top to bottom (ex. level 45-50)?
