We hear ya on the importance of in-game economies! That's why we're building out our economy design team ;)

If you know anyone qualified, feel free to send them here! https://intrepidstudios.com/careers

I personally like playing the race I enjoy the most, rather than picking for statistical maximization! I know many MMORPG gamers like to min-max with racial abilities, though! :)

Anybody here have a race they're dying to play, regardless of racials?

Epic quests like this one are indeed possible in MMORPGs. There are some MMORPGs out there that have done quite well with the singleplayer questing experience!

We're working on making questing in Ashes of Creation an immersive and unique experience, full of wonder, intrigue, and adventure! ^_^

I'd love to hear more about all of your favorite quests, whether they're from MMORPGs or just RPGs! What can you share from your memories?

These are SO. COOL @Obamanizer !!

Also the death whistle... And here it had been so long since I last heard it and you had to take that away from me @Arya_Yeshe T_T

Ashes of Creation will have tooltips and tutorials ;) Also, accessibility settings are important to us!

I'm curious, for what reason do you feel a prestige system is necessary for your enjoyment of Ashes of Creation?

I highly recommend you check out the wiki to learn more about leveling and about the endgame experience of Ashes of Creation!

I'll also leave you with this quote from a former member of the team that still remains true: "Part of the whole experience with nodes is that there is no real end-game, in that the world is constantly shifting every da... Read more

As Dygz showed, Steven has said that Ashes of Creation will feature plenty of solo AND group-based content for players to enjoy. We don't want the game to be entirely one or the other! ^_^

I admire your quest to change the MMORPG player base as a whole. It's quite a lofty task.

Personally, I do my best to focus on the things I have control over, rather than a desire to control what others do. I like to take a slow approach to enjoy games. I take my time and I savor the experience. This is how I enjoy games. However, not everybody is like me and not everybody will do this. With that said, it doesn't mean that I can't still enjoy a quest, for example, even if my progress is slower than others :)

Everything is subject to testing and change, especially come Alpha Two. You can read about Intrepid Studios' current plans regarding nameplates from the wiki link Nikr provided. If we receive overwhelming feedback about nameplates and that players want them changed, then we will take another look at them! :)

Lots of interesting perspectives here from people with different experiences across the genre! Love to see these thoughts and ideas coming together! :)

Best case scenario is that depletion does trigger actual Events.
And the region or entire server has to band to together to rectify that catastrophe.

I think you may be on to something here 😉

Cool, so, a developer initiated system by which I can put my guild to use to f*ck over dozens - or even hundreds - of players.

@Vaknar as has been said, this is the kind of thing that sounds like a good idea from a top level perspective - from the perspective of the handful of players that are managing players, this is fine.

From the perspective of individual players though, its absolute g...

IKR?!

Hiya! We have plenty of AMD and Nvidia cards in our machines here in the office :wink:

Edit: Also a good mix of AMD and Intel CPUs :)

Frequent content updates/patches and an active playerbase are my prerequisites for an enjoyable playing experience in MMO's

This is all I could ask for as a humble MMO gamer 🙏
