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 :)

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! :)

Some neat ideas in this thread! 😄

It's fun reading through threads that generate ideas, especially threads around systems that we don't know much about! ^_^

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

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

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

Very interesting poll results. I'll check back again and hopefully see some more entries! I was especially surprised by the results of the Boss TTK poll!

Very fun and interesting thread to read through. I can tell you put a lot of time and thought into your post, @Ace1234 :)

I loved the visual examples you provided!

Intrepid and the community has already been doing a pretty good job at smacking out any really bad vibes (which is good!). No one can get rid of all the toxicity but as long as the really bad ones don't make camp here that's a win in my opinion B) This thread is also making me have PTSD flashbacks to the many years in LoL and WoW arenas haha :D :'(

I like to think so too!

I was surprised to see all these differing opinions! Some helpful anecdotes too :)

ICYMI, here is an example of a mount gliding https://twitter.com/AshesofCreation/status/1433414502926766082

Agree with what Nerror said. But also, you'll still be able to build up a node from 0 to 6, it'll just take more work. The world is supposed to be ever-changing and not just on a first come first serve basis. Metropoli will fall sooner or later and some 5lvl node will be able to rise up. And if you play hard and smart enough, you might even be able to raise a lvl1 node to lvl6 through political intrigue and hardcore pvp.

Well said! <3

Interesting thoughts and ideas happening here! Keep up the fun discussion <3

It'll be fun to see all the discussions around augments come Alpha Two!

Keep up the civil discussions all <3 love to see it!

Some fun and interesting suggestions on which interpretations of fishing people like most! I'd love to hear more examples of the best fishing you've seen in games, and why that is ;)
