Guild and Node Wars: White Peace and Surrendering?

Comment

Hello @Vaknar , In EVE Online, we have reputable players who hold the deposit of money, and they only transfer the funds to the other party once it is established that both parties have fulfilled their promises...

I am a lover of player driven content, but there is a catch here, AoC needs a tiny system because it is not possible withdrawing money from the Node.

AoC differs from EVE in that you cannot withdraw the money from the Node and keep it for yourself. In EVE, however, it is possible to take the corporation's money and abscond with it. In fact, scamming is one of the 108 careers suggested by the developers.

I think AoC requires a system for using the Node's money to pay ransoms. To facilitate this, a window should be created where the mayor can allocate funds from the node.. Even citizens and non-citizens should be able to donate money by walking up to the Node's bulletin board, clicking the ...

pro's and cons with development updates

We're just as excited to participate and play in Alpha Two as everyone here. It's challenging at times to remain patient for the game. Open development is bittersweet when you're excited, as some have already pointed out.

We try to show off content as soon as it's ready to be shown off. We know there are some specific systems that players want to learn more about. The teams that work on those systems are hard at work, and we are excited to show off as much as we can, as soon as it's ready!

So, do you think this would only work if it were an integrated system? Or, do you think players could make social and verbal agreements that could accomplish such actions and goals (for the most part)?

I think when there are opportunities to make verbal agreements like this, politics, intrigue, and sabotage become more.. interesting?

Prevent Data Mining?

Comment
    Vaknar on Forums - Thread - Direct
Interesting to see an array of opinions on data mining. I could understand arguments for or against it, speaking from personal experience with other MMOs I've played.

I believe there will be some stuff that the team does not want data mined... This could make for a potential question for our next Q&A! :wink:

The Flavors of Fellaren

Post


Some seek glory by facing off against the most fearsome and ferocious beasts Verra has to offer, in barbaric and bloody battles to the death. Others seek the same monstrosities, but for very different reasons. These gastronomical gladiators risk their lives every day, not for gold or looted valuables, but for the finest tantalizing cuts of fresh monster meat. Unless you’ve experienced the intense flavor of honeyed cyclops tenderloin infused with fresh rosemary and sage, slow cooked for eight hours, it’s difficult to understand their obsession. Recipes like this are closely-guarded secrets for the Gingham Chefs, a consortium of culinary artisans who have devoted their entire lives to mastering the creation of such delectable dishes. With exceptional dedication and patience, the Gingham Chefs are famous for their unparalleled ... Read more

Will Ashes really be a revolution?

Comment
    Vaknar on Forums - Thread - Direct
We certainly aim to make a game that stands out from the crowd and is different. Some things that lessen the experiences for players are in the hands of the players themselves, while some things can be controlled more easily by the game's developers.

Let's look at your example of min-maxing characters. With all the different customization possibilities for your character, such as augments, weapons, archetypes, classes, etc. There will be many different flavors if gameplay to create. With systems ranging from Node sieges to raids, there will be many different activities to apply those customizations of your character to. This, coupled with no DPS meters and no add-ons, should provide players with the means to create what they want, and not necessarily be wrong for doing so :)

The &quot;Go-To&quot; phrase - &quot;It's still in Alpha&quot;

So when combat is criticized as bland, I personally feel it is because of the choices that were made when determining the interactions between PC and NPC. Not polish.



What part of the combat do you believe is "bland"?



Good question!

If you feel that combat is, in your opinion, "bland" - feel free to express that on the forums, as long as you do it in a constructive and helpful manner, so that we can understand why you feel the way you feel :)

Dev Discussion - Training (PvP)
Training is when players pull enemy NPCs onto other players in hopes that it will kill them. Some players see this as a valid and fun combat tactic to play around, and some do not. Would you like to see mechanics that support or discourage training in Ashes of Creation?

Five Tanks, One Boss - mechanics

Comment
    Vaknar on Forums - Thread - Direct
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 :)
