So that raises the question, what do you want out of backgrounds?...Hmmm... I think you may be taking some leaps with this statement 😅, but there is still good merit to your thought starter here. <3 Here is my comment in your other thread in which I engage with follow-up questions :)
While it’s not currently possible to purchase access to Alpha Two, we plan on opening up sales in the near future. We spoke about this during the last Development Update Livestream. Here’s a timestamp to that conversation.
We also plan to do giveaways for access to testing phases. Make sure you’re following us on our social channels so you never miss a chance at a giveaway, or news about anything related to testing phases. ...
Read more@LaetitianIt might help to simplify it as much as you can. The clearer, more concise, and easier to understand, the better chance you'll have of getting the answer you're looking for from Steven (if it happens to be selected for the stream). Let me know if you'd like assistance with rewording your question or finding a new way to phrase it <3I think you have to rephrase this if you want the question to be understood. What does "minimise the more tedious methods" mean? Discourage them? Obstruct their pursuit? Reduce their relevance and thus players' requirement to pursue them?Sorry, by that I mean to not include those tedious methods in the design as much as possible, through providing sufficient information to where data acquisition efforts aren't necessary. @Vaknar Is my question too confusing?

I'm not a fan of the idea of backgrounds, either. If they provide some mechanical benefit, there will inevitably be some "best" choice for archetype x. I think it's bad design to lock players into a choice they were forced to make when they didn't understand the game.What would make you like the background system more? Perhaps besides simply less of a mechanical importance? Also, awesome thought-starter in your OP <3
Chicago;c-460429There are a few helpful responses in this thread, but to summarize, Ashes of Creation is being developed with Unreal Engine 5. We ... Read moreDygz;c-460426Because they're different locations with completely different lighting due to in-game variables? The Carphin video is in a heavily corrupted area with different environmental lighting. Overall they look like the same game. There are a few other differences like having the camera zoomed out more in the Node wars demo and they may have some graphics settings reduced because of performance issues (the game is still unoptimized), but they are clearly both footage from the same game...The Node Wars demo is just as pre-recorded as the Tower of Carphin Demo.then why do they look like completely different games?, obviously i know it was pre recorded in the fact that it wasn't live but i don't think they were recorded on the same engine
