In case you missed it, there is a helpful image on this page on the wiki, with all of the class combinations!

When did you stop playing games for fun.

So, I think I understand what you're getting at here.

For me, it was when I got into competitive gaming and eventually Esports.

I struggle to play single-player RPGs these days despite how much I love them because it's easier for me to hop on and grind competitive in multiplayer games. Sometimes, I don't even have fun but rather just a drive to win when I do so :sweat_smile:

This is one of the reasons why I love MMORPGs so much. I get the best of both worlds :)

Risk & Reward versus Corruption

Interesting discussion!

If you could integrate the potential of the Events system into your ideas, how would you do so?

Tower Challenge , Mount Races, Tavern Card Games

Comment

I'm happy to report that Parlor Games (Tavern Games) are a confirmed feature of Ashes of Creation. You can read more about them here, on the wiki! https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Parlor_games

There will be an area called The Wreckage of Carphin. While it's not quite what you're describing, I thought I would share anyway ;) https://ashesofcreation.wiki/The_Wreckage_of_Carphin

Mount races are a suggestion I could see relating to our Event system, which you can learn more about here! https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Events

Races and hitboxes

Comment
    Vaknar on Forums - Thread - Direct
The team is testing different approaches to accommodate varying hitboxes between the races. There may be a single unified hitbox with some exceptions or some special collision rules as opposed to having different-sized hitboxes.

You can read more about this here, on the wiki! https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Hitboxes

Tax system seems excellent

Love seeing a deep dive into the wiki!

We're excited to get these systems ready to not only be shown but experienced in the future during Alpha Two! :)

Question about housing system

Comment

Thank you to those who provided helpful links to the OP :)

It's ok to disagree on thoughts regarding the game, but let's not commandeer someone's thread just to be rude to one another on something that is off-topic.

Thanks! ^_^

Should Open World PvP be level restricted - to a degree?

Comment
    Vaknar on Forums - Thread - Direct
As some have pointed out, it'll be interesting to see player behaviors during Alpha Two testing! ^_^

Which class name instead of &quot;TANK&quot; ?

Comment
    Vaknar on Forums - Thread - Direct
Let's make sure we're being respectful to one another here. Not everyone will share the same opinion. With that said, this isn't the first time I've seen this idea discussed. I was surprised to see the amount of differing opinions across the board here. Some interesting suggestions, too!

Featherstone Royal Expeditions

Post


The journey matters. Fuel your wanderlust and embrace the adventure!

Founded in the early days of the Pyrian Empire by the elven noble Lord Pyrravyn, Featherstone Royal Expeditions have endured for millennia. What began as a small, specialized escort service catering to travelers who sought armed and mounted protection while braving Verra’s bandit-infested roads, grew into a full-fledged caravansery, travel agency, and adventuring firm.

Pyrravyn’s heirs fled Verra during the Harbinger Apocalypse and took the company assets with them, setting up shop anew when they arrived on Sanctus. The company survived the Sanctus Interregnum and even prospered – at least as much as any other firm run by Verran expatriates. When the Divine Gates reopened, Featherstone employees were among the first to return to Verra, ... Read more

Dev Discussion #47 - Tanking: Threat Mitigation

Post
    Vaknar on Forums - Thread - Direct

-----
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 - Tanking: Threat Mitigation
For people who prefer to play the tanking role, do you enjoy holding threat as a prevalent part of combat? Would you prefer threat mechanics to be a part of combat initiation, or throughout the entire duration of combat?

Make world roaming bosses really roaming the world

It's all fun and games while you're out gathering and questing until you turn around and see a giant world boss breathing down your neck :joy:


Free PK, corruption &amp; night in game

Comment
    Vaknar on Forums - Thread - Direct
Never hurts putting ideas or things you'd like to see out there! I think many ideas, such as this one, make for good thought starters for the event system that will be utilized in Ashes of Creation :)

Side note, the open seas sure will be a formidable place with all of you PvP-loving, corruption-hating pirates out there! 😈😅

What’s your favorite weapon in the genre?

There's something especially cool about wielding a two-handed sword, imo :)

What Abilities Do You Want To See For Your Favorite Classes?

Comment
    Vaknar on Forums - Thread - Direct
I love threads like these! This is a question we featured in a couple of our Office Hours sessions on Discord. Archetype and class fantasy is important and feeling attuned with the archetype/class you play is what makes playing it that much more special!

Alpha-2 Progression?

Comment
    Vaknar on Forums - Thread - Direct
It looks like many people have answered the question for you :) But to reiterate, it is highly unlikely that any Alpha Two progression will carry over to launch :)

"you're coming to work with us."

Is this possibly a double entendre foreshadowing of an Alpha 2 date?



It simply means that if you join in on Friday for the livestream, you'll be joining us (virtually, of course!) at our San Diego, CA studio for some interviews with a few of our developers and a small glimpse of our studio! :)
