Songs of the Sea

Post


Sun, salt, and ocean waves are the hallmarks of the Niküa, the island-dwelling sub-race of dwarves. The Niküa have the same thirst for riches as their mountain-dwelling cousins, but rather than mining underground for precious gems and metals, pearl-diving is their preferred method of acquiring wealth.


Due to the sweltering heat of the tropics, tattoos are much more common adornments among them than the heavy jewelry and finely wrought armor favored by the mountain dwarves. Niküan tattoos are also remarkable examples of fine art that gives the dwarves a unique way of displaying their achievements, history, and lineage on their bodies proudly for all to see.


For Niküa, the untamed wilds of Verra are her open seas. It is there, beyond the horizon, that riches are secreted within the briny mouths o... Read more

Love the shoutout to the Dev Discussion, and the thought-starter threads that you've been creating! I dropped a link to this thread in the official Dev Discussion and I look forward to seeing more of what people have to say!

Question about Alternate Characters

Guild membership and alts

A character may only be a member of a single guild.[13]

Alts on the same account can join different guilds.[13]
Intrigue, espionage and intelligence gathering is a legitimate aspect of the game.[13]



Perfect use of the wiki!

A first-time poster already referencing the Ashes Wiki. It brings a tear of joy to my eye :)



You and me both 🥺😭 My gut reaction was to pull up the wiki for a link, but as I kept reading I saw I wouldn't need to.

Brings a tear to my eye, haha!

Will there be philosophy or philosophical/moral thoughts in AoC?

Intriguing thought-starter.

Curious, when playing single-player games, do you feel guilty when killing innocent NPCs, whether by accident or on purpose?

I do 🥺 ... usually 😈

OP, you created this mega-thread for mount suggestions, so I moved your separate mount suggestion post into this one.

Carry on with the cute and cool mount and pet discussions! ^_^

Great discussion around the answer Steven gave on this question during the livestream!

It's an evocative topic! Threads like this are very helpful for the team, so appreciate all the feedback here!

I encourage everyone to discuss questions and answers from the monthly Q&A on the forums like this, so we can gauge feedback on them ^_^

Guild Loot Distribution

Comment

I think I've experienced most loot distribution methods with the different guilds I've run with in the past. Personally, not sure if I myself have a preference. Usually, if the group I'm with is cool and we're doing well together, the loot rules seem to just work no matter which method is used!

Though, I know most people have preferences on which they prefer, which has made this thread interesting to go through!

Kalmos

do you have an automated group search system? so that solo players can participate and guilds can complete their raids?



There will not be an automated group gathering system. Instead, there will be things such as the Bulletin Boards, which allow players to find other players to form groups for the content they're wanting to do!

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 - Boss Mechanics
What are your favorite and least favorite boss mechanics for small and large group content in MMORPGs? Do you have any memorable fights, and if so, what made them special?

Spot testing happening already?

Chicago;d-55621

it was stated several months ago by steven that spot testing would be starting within the next several months, we are now several months past this date and not a word has been said about this, even though i have seen multiple questions for the monthly live streams about this, this leads me to believe that spot testing is currently already happening probably under an NDA or it just wont happen at all given A2 is only 6 months off, my concerns are, if this has not started yet, will this be offered to everyone that purchased a 500$ + bundle to support the game or will it be offered to streamers only wich is what i would guess is happening, i think that when this starts everyone should have a equal chance of jumping into testing the game weather you bought the bundle or not



I want to provide some clarity and perhaps assist with some misconceptions ^_^

I can assure you that we are often testing th... Read more

I appreciate the post!

This is certainly a topic that has come up before and we know it is important! :)

We want to make the Tank Archetype and Tank Classes feel impactful and fun to play in both PvE and PvP. We're excited to show off more of the Tank kit, and the Tank in PvP action as soon as it's ready! ^_^

For the time being, seeing your thoughts and opinions on this subject certainly helps the team! ;)

What does everyone want to see in the upcoming live stream?

Who's hyped?

I think "hype" is the wrong feeling to have at this point. I want to reserve my hype for the lead-up to the actual launch. Now I'm just enjoying the dev process and thinking about all the different potential and possibilities.

I work in design IRL and use Blender, Unreal Engine and Adobe for Architectural and Interior Design renders. The idea of being able to sit down and create a sandbox world in which people can play is super captivating. I think many of us who are following along share a similar... Wouldn't it be cool if? type of thought process. It's creative and fun at the end of the day.

Also. Designing for real life is boring, haha, Nobody wants to build cool castles or fantasy houses. :D



It's always nice and reassuring to see those who appreciate and enjoy our open-development approach ^_^

I can totally relate to that feeling of thinking to yourself "Wouldn't i... Read more

As some have pointed out here, the game is very much so still a work in progress, and has not had any polishing done to the final appearance, especially with some aspects you mention, OP!

With that said, we still appreciate the feedback, and the team is working very hard to make the best game we possibly can ^_^
