The "Go-To" phrase - "It's still in Alpha"

So when combat is criticized as bland, I personally feel it is because of the choices that were made when determining the interactions between PC and NPC. Not polish.



What part of the combat do you believe is "bland"?



Good question!

If you feel that combat is, in your opinion, "bland" - feel free to express that on the forums, as long as you do it in a constructive and helpful manner, so that we can understand why you feel the way you feel :)

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 - Training (PvP)
Training is when players pull enemy NPCs onto other players in hopes that it will kill them. Some players see this as a valid and fun combat tactic to play around, and some do not. Would you like to see mechanics that support or discourage training in Ashes of Creation?

Five Tanks, One Boss - mechanics

Comment
    Vaknar on Forums - Thread - Direct
There's so much potential when it comes to designing bosses around our group sizes, 8 different archetypes, 64 different classes, and the fact that many encounters will be a part of open-world dungeons.

Love to see creative ideas for how boss fights could interact with the different facets of these systems :)

What class fantasy will you follow?

I enjoy playing a Bard in DnD, and look forward to the different interpretations of class fantasy for the bard that we may see in Ashes of Creation! :)

Songs of the Goddess

Post


“In the Forest of Rai, among trees taller than the spires that dot the Riverlands of Old Aela, the voices of our ancestors rise up in harmony to greet the kalends of spring. As snow piles in the highest boughs, musicians gather among the roots, their woodwinds slotted with fresh reeds, as they prepare to break winter’s long silence. Suddenly, the quiet vanishes and the air is filled with music. The young ones, newly come-of-age, gather to meet and to be met, to judge and to be judged, and perhaps beyond all hope, seek to find a soul with which they can share their hearth and home. The music calls to them, and they rise with shy smiles, their eyes a-glow with the promise of new love. As it always has, and ever shall be, Spring’s endless dance goes on.”

pre order paks

hi my question is if i buy a 250usd pre order pak for example, then another month maybe there is another one i really like,
do i need to buy the whole 250usd pak or can i buy the skins in the upcoming pre order paks as addons i heared something about ?



You can buy the individual skins yeah, but only up to what is allowed in the main pack you own. You can also upgrade the pack to the $375 at any point. Here is what my store looks like for example ($375 pack). If I had the $250 pack I would not be able to buy the costume.



Thank you for providing this helpful answer! <3

Hybrid combat system?

This link may help you: https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Hybrid_combat

TLDR:
"A toggle button (default Z, but can be re-bound to another key) allows the player to switch between action and tab combat modes.[7][8][9][10]"

"The action mode camera is tied to the to the player's reticle.[11][12]"

"If you're in a massive brawl, the ability to pick and choose targets that are far in the back line that might might be more advantageous towards tab target users because they're able to click, but the reaction time to acquire a target for a cursor versus acquiring a target for a reticle is much faster and less cumbersome because it doesn't require as many actions on behalf of the user.[17] – Steven Sharif"

"Templated and targeted versions of skills will have different characteristics.[2][7][18][19...

to answer the OP question.. a booming economy that gives people free time lol and not needing 4 jobs just to survive lol. peace and love. And great gameplay of course. And a great community! :)



I agree that good in-game economies, gameplay, and community are some of the most important aspects that create a great MMORPG.

To me, this idea of

where they say that they want to capture the nostalgia of old mmos but also be innovative



"nostalgia of old MMOs" is the ability to capture or create unique player-made situations and scenarios. Memories that come from actions and decisions that players make. Roshen and I love discussing these core memories that cemented the genre in our hearts. To me, if an MMORPG can make these moments in time occur, it can be a great MMORPG. That's easily one of the most exciting factors of ... Read more

How is AoC going to incorporate all level of players in node warfare?

Comment

I noticed some quoting of the wiki, which I love to see!

Here's another quote that seems relevant to the conversation ^_^

"Lower level characters will have usefulness in mass combat that does not depend on their level, such as manning siege weapons, helping repair fortifications, bringing proximity-based buffs to key positions, using stealth or scaling walls. These types of things are relevant to the tide of battle and do not require the player to be max-level or have high combat stats." - ... Read more
