Ashes of Creation Dev Tracker

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 - Respawn Times

How predictable do you like the spawn rate for general and rare mobs in open-world, dungeons, and raid settings?

Which games do you feel have done this well, and what did you feel was good about respawn times for mobs?

Hey all,

Alpha Two is about testing a product in development. For it to be a successful test, it’s important for the team to get info about what’s working and what isn’t, so we can iterate on all of our systems during this testing period.

Sometimes this may be focused feedback on certain things. If that’s the case, we’ll definitely let people know what we want feedback on. When we do this, it may be through the form of feedback requests, similar to what we do currently after livestreams. It may also be through surveys or other methods.

Even when we don’t ask for specific things to be tested, the empirical data we get from testers during Alpha Two, like logs that show how players interact with systems, items, and other player metrics, are hugely valuable to us.

We spoke a little bit about this during the Ashen Forge interview with Steven in July 2023. ... Read more

Wooo! \o/ welcome to the forums and great first post!

Like @Azherae , @Tyranthraxus and others have mentioned, Steven did chat about bows and ammo not too long ago, which can be found on that wiki link!

Don't let that stop you from discussing that, though ;)

Do you like games that have ammo? Why or why not?

What about ammo do you think would add to or diminish your experience in-game? :)

Hey we watch Lazy Peon videos a fair amount.

Do you agree with what is shared here? If not, which points do you agree and disagree with?

@Optics2134 FYI: Edited the title here, so more people understand what thread is about if they want to join the discussion.

Is this something you would like to see again?

If this is something you'd like to see again (or perhaps not), feel free to let us know here! ;)

For anyone passing by this thread, please feel free to drop your thoughts ;)

Nobody has linked to the wiki?


Here is the community-run wiki page for Zergs! Each line has a citation, often livestream quotes from Steven, on the topic! https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Zergs

Hello,

I'm a software developer reaching my 40s...

Is being in your 40s considered being an old-timer now?! Going to need @Roshen thoughts on this LOL

Controller support is a feature we would love to add at some point :) However, it will likely not be supported during Alpha Two.

We're planning on doing a Dev Discussion in the future on the topic of Accessibility Features, which I look forward to seeing all of your inputs on :)

Giving examples along with your thoughts is very hel... Read more

Hello!

This is a planned perk of being in the Content Creator Program!


You can learn more about the Content Creator Program here: https://ashesofcreation.com/news/2021-05-08-introducing-the-intrepid-studios-content-creator-program <3

Is this something you would like to see again?

It's funny this post came up. Myself and @Roshen were actually just discussing the Journey to Alpha One posts :)

If this is something you'd like to see again (or perhaps not), feel free to let us know here! ;)

Many of us at the studio play games with ultrawide monitors, myself (and Steven, IIRC) included! So, ultrawide support is something we would love to have available to our players if we're able to <3

Caww

Goes to show you that AoC has a lot of choices!

Haha, no kidding! I believe I've seen equally long lists that are totally different but equally as length and also feature all the things people would like to do in-game! It's very exciting :)

OP, as a reminder, we posted a Dev Discussion on the topic of in-game content. Maybe seeing what other people are excited to do will help you narrow it down ;)
