I've always loved utility spells, especially those that require skill to use effectively. As long as no one class is completely overloaded with CC and they're balanced as well as possible.

What's an example of a utility spell you've always wanted to see in an MMO?

If you're talking about the guild name being shown where your character name is, then I don't remember a way to toggle that. There are a lot of settings and things missing though because it was only alpha 1. It may be a thing further into development.

Nope, there wasn't a way to toggle or adjust this during recent Alpha One testing - but as noted, the UI was very much placeholder and there will be more adjustments and settings to come in the future!

My only negative thought about season , it s how fast they go โ€ฆ. 1 week for each nahhhh should be a full month at least

Previously we've also noted that events may elongate or radically change seasons for a zone - so not necessarily always a week!

I prefer a minimal and immersive* UI by default but the option to expand the UI significantly in the settings. This way hopefully you solve for most use cases without sacrificing immersion or complexity.

*Here I mean a UI that feels like it fits within the universe, rather than just strictly a flat, minimal UI. Kingdom Come: Deliverance is a great example of this, and uses subtle effects like cracked monastic paint and gilt to make it feel like a piece of medieval art.

What info do you consider essential for your most minimal approach?

Yeah, that's definitely one of the features Intrepid should pick up from FF14. Just having some good emotes and animations can add hundreds of hours of player interaction, which is obviously great for an mmo.

What's an emote you've always wanted to see in a game? ๐Ÿค”

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 - User Interface
Do you prefer to set up your UI very minimally, cover your screen with as much information as you possibly can, or something in between? What UI information is absolutely essential to you?

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

Complain anyways, all of them should have glorious beaded beards >:(

At least the base models of the pre-order cosmetic mounts are part of the game world in some way (An evil villain's mount, mobs to fight against, pulling an NPC caravan, etc.). For say the Dawnbreaker whose color / wing pattern / eye shape /etc can be set, there's no guarantee that all the combinations of that will be represented by the mobs in game.

Indeed! These are all variants of monsters you may come across in your adventures on Verra; for example, you may have noticed some variations of the Cursed Charger and Scalerunner as mobs that players fought during Alpha One!

In addition, each mount that gets shared has a corresponding lore piece that goes along with it, which gives you more flavor and insight into the world of Verra. You can see these both in our news posts and on the items themselves!

Yup, these pieces were recorded by the lovely Margaret to add a little special flair to the lore reveals this year! As she noted a few times during the stream, these are more a labor of love for charity, rather than something that was professionally recorded ๐Ÿงก that being said, we've definitely noted the feedback on things you'd like to see and hear in future lore reveals!
