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 ^_^

There is no release date at this time for Alpha Two!

Whether you purchase a pack, and when you may do so is totally up to you!

If you're unsure about this pack, then you can wait to see what the next pack is!

The current pack information can be found here: https://forums.ashesofcreation.com/discussion/55547/legion-of-the-rose#latest

I'll also link you to the wiki, where you can likely find the answers to some questions you may have about the game, or even about past packs! https://ashesofcreation.wiki/

Keep your eye out for a fun stream! 👁

Make sure to drop a question in the official Q&A thread as well!

How have I never seen this before 😂😂😂

Certainly some good thought-starters for RP features!

As some have suggested, in what ways would you implement this feature, or languages, in which it is an optional, RP-focused feature?

If you're curious about what other players have suggested and said regarding the Character Creator, be sure to check out these two official threads we did, around the time we revealed the Character Creator for Alpha Two!

I look forward to seeing what additional suggestions people offer in this thread! ^_^

There are some excellent answers in this thread!

Ashes of Creation will have many systems that tie in with one another, which will keep players invested, I believe.

As a side note, @Azherae I feel you would really enjoy Office Hours sessions, so I'd love to see you and your fellow forums friends join us!

You can always listen in the audience, and talking is not required (and only those who want to speak, and raise their hand to do so, are the ones who may be brought up to talk amongst each other! :) Though, we love when new folks join us up on stage ^_^

Unfortunately even recent conversations on the forums have reminded me that I do not yet have the patience/control to be having design-related conversations with most people in real-time.

I feel like I'd not only be a negative toward getting useful feedback, but also outright disruptive to the goals and community Intrepid hopes to foster.

And I'm the one who talks here because I'm the most patient. Hopefully the Office Hou...

Hello all!

I hear your concerns and wanted to provide some clarity on this subject.

The conversations happening during Office Hours aren't fundamentally different than conversations that happen here on the forums, on Discord, or even on our social media platforms! When the community team collects feedback, it isn't with the intention of "design by committee."

Office Hours is an opportunity to join player discussions with the community team on topics the community team is actively collecting feedback on, similar to discussing your opinions and feedback with people on an official feedback thread :)

With that said, we'd love your feedback on the Mage Archetype shown during the April Development Update Livestream on the official thread, here (plus a couple of bonus questions!): https://... Read more

Sometimes when I've used similar abilities in other MMORPGs, it's because I need to immediately escape a situation, in the... blink of an eye 😉

I wonder, if holding down the key and losing some of those precious moments to alter the distance of the blink could possibly be fatal in those situations 🤔 Certainly a thought-starter of an idea!

Last mention seems to be from 2020, saying that all hitboxes are the same.

Nice assist with the wiki link! :)

Plenty of helpful answers here! Thanks for the friendly and helpful advice to those who gave it! ^_^

In case you missed it, be sure to check out the Dev Discussion we did on RNG a year ago: https://forums.ashesofcreation.com/discussion/52481/dev-discussion-41-rng/p1

Quite a few interesting opinions on the topic can be found there, as well!

Yee will find me sailing the open seas 😈🦜🏴‍☠️
