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 - Camera Perspective Camera Perspective: What camera perspective do you prefer in terms of both angle and distance from your character? Do different situations call for different perspectives?

I keep my feet on the ground.

This made me laugh out loud. Well done 👏

We haven't shared any updates regarding KS package upgrades at this time, but be sure to stay tuned to our socials for any potential updates! https://support.ashesofcreation.com/hc/en-us/articles/360033777814-How-can-I-keep-up-with-the-latest-news

We will be seeing the Bard very soon ;) Just not during this month's Dev Update! There are some interesting thoughts on Bards in other MMORPGs here, though. I'd love to see more examples of Bards you all liked and didn't like in MMOs you've played, and more importantly, why that is! 👀

The team is looking for more feedback on the tree and its contents, so thank you for your contribution! Keep up the awesome work!

Proper environmental design that allows for tactical troop movements, baits, ambushes, etc. Tight corridors and small rooms are a must as well.
