Hey u/SoulSherpa,

You're not the only one to see it that way, and to clarify, what was shown on stream was not a full demo of combat. 😅⚔

What we shared during the June 2022 Development Update was intended to be a demonstration of basic melee attacks with a few melee weapons. Ashes of Creation will feature abilities that are both tab target and action combat.

For more info, check out this clarification post from Vaknar on our forums.

It certainly helps to have a team that of people that love MMORPGs, and people that have experience working on MMOs at other companies. 😎

What's your stance on "BBB Sliders?" 🤔

(let your imagination explore what the three B's might stand for...)

Hey u/Zeshio,

Thanks for posting this! Shared this at the office, and a bunch of the team got a kick out it o/

Also good guy Narc sending people to our forums, with a link to the correct thread, for people to give their feedback is pretty awesome.

Hello glorious community,

We’d like your feedback on the Alpha Two Basic Melee Weapon Attack Update discussed during the June 2022 Development Update Livestream.

To help guide this conversation, here are a few thought starters:

• What aspects of basic melee weapon attacks are important to you?
• Do you feel anything is missing from the basic melee weapon attacks we’ve shared so far?
• Are there types of basic melee weapon attacks in other games that you feel are done well? If so, in what ways?
• Is there anything in particular you’re excited or concerned about regarding what was shown with basic melee weapon attacks?

Please don’t feel limited by the thought starters above. Feel free to share anything you’d like about Ashes of Creation’s basic melee weapon attacks.

We’ll be compiling a report for the design team on Friday, July 15, 2022, so please try t...

If you're interested in naval gameplay, Ashes of Creation might be for you. 😎

For example, here's the size of one of our aquatic raid bosses, we're planning to have available during Alpha Two.

To get an idea regarding what we've shared so far on our Naval systems, check out the wiki entry here.

u/Hannelore300 to save you a Google search, here are the Development Update replays, for the videos mentioned here.

If these are the things at the top of your list, you're probably going to be pretty happy with the direction of Ashes of Creation. 😎

Our team feels the same way you do. We believe that things like "automatic group finders," and instances where people spend a majority of their time, are the types of things that erode the sense of community.

In the wiki, you can get an idea of the things we've said previously on this topic here.

"Wipe them out. All of them."

The appearance of head gear equipped by Py'rai will be accommodating if their antlers.

We also plan to let players hide their helmet visual, if they'd like to.

We always want to take player feedback into account. While we hope to get most of this ironed out during testing phases, there will be things that get adjusted over time.

To your other point, yes, part of the triggers for seasonal change in Ashes of Creation won't be just time. Seasons may change more slowly or rapidly due to player action (or inaction 😎).

Timestamp to this part of the conversation, from the May 2022 Development Update.

Crops, harvesting, gatherables, and the impact of seasons on these systems and the in-game economy are part of why we're targeting this timeframe for seasons.

We spoke a little bit about the length of seasons, and why we're exploring 1-2 weeks per season during the May Development Update (timestamp to the conversation here). This may change during testing, as we get specific feedback from players, after they get to experience the impact of seasons for themselves.
