It's a niche thing, but I agree! I remember having a BEAUTIFUL braided hairstyle on my Mara in swtor and... it clipped when not running, so it was f**ked.

Also disappointed now with my new armor in BDO. Clipped. (And also the horse riding sucks it's always the same pose and most games have the capes or clothes clip through horses).

I don't want ultra realism, but I do like "visual details" that make it better.

This would be great feedback to share with us regarding character creation as well, since it sounds like getting a preview of what your character's hair looks like in different types of armor and different animations would be helpful!

I would love to have giants in Ashes. Dragons are cool and all, but giants would diversify the game for bossfights.

How giant should these giants be? πŸ€”

So far we've seen some bigger boys like our spooky friend Jermaine, Sorrow's Hunger, and a few different versions of ...

Thanks! The character is being used for my webcomic Antics of Creation, and action poses are more fun to draw, even for mages who might not need them. So, I wanted to make her kind of lunge and power up (maybe influenced by Dragonball Z "kamehameha" kind of pose, not intentionally, but quite possible).

This particular animation isn't planned for a panel in the comic, but I'd love to experiment with overlaying animated characters into the panels.

This must be why it's so important to stretch and warm up before you take to the battlefield! ;)

Amazing job on the animation, and we can't wait to see what you create next!

Thank you all so so SO much for taking the time to share all your kind, heartfelt words with us <3 it means the world to our team to see all of the passion around Ashes of Creation!

We love the doodles too! So far our team's favorites seem to be "sizzling good" and "flip floppin' awesome" - but we also have a soft spot for Roger the Rock ;)

Depends on the depth of the options. I recall spending about an hour on BDO per character, but I can easily pick a "good enough" option on games like WoW that have much simpler systems.

What are the tools you like to have available when you’re building your character?

This might be a hot take for the MMORPG community, but I don't really care what "tools" I have, as long as my tools feel fair. I feel more pressured to make the "right" character in complex systems, and I'll honestly spend more time on these systems out of obligation to have a respectable-looking character than I will out of the passion of creating something unique. I am totally fine with "good enough" systems; I'll be more invested in my armor than my face, anyway.

Do you focus on race/class synergy, looking good, or something else entirely?

This was an interesting tangent that came up elsewhere as well! Some folks noted that if they like to get heavily detailed in the character creator, they also tend to like to have their helmet toggled off to show off their hard work - whereas others preferred for their armor to look coolest, so they seemed to care less about their face.

Sounds like you're more on team armor vs. team face?

I think powerful monster patrols are an easy way to make questing more dynamic. Old MMOs used to do this. If you accidentally aggro'd a patrol while fighting something, it could mean certain death.

On that topic, I just really hope they make the open world dangerous in general. It seems like every game now is a total face roll, where it is impossible to lose. I played the New World beta recently, and that game had the same problem. Not once was I challenged during solo PvE. Quite boring.

What are some of your other favorite ways to feel "danger" in the open world? Whether it be mobs, other players, environmental factors, or something else entirely?

you got a source for that last statement?

While it doesn't look like augments have been mentioned in regards to boss drops specifically, we've noted plans for augments that would come from progression within religious or social organizations - so these might include quests/rep in a sense!
