Roshen

Nerror

I think we had an amazing community on Thistledown back in the day (year 2000). We even had to have the developers intervene in a live event, because the community banded together to protect the Shard of the Herald, that other servers killed, but we elected to level up and save instead. I forget now if it was @Roshen or @Vaknar that experienced this as well? :)



I don't think @Vaknar is old enough to remember peak Asheron's Call 🙃



My 'old-school' MMORPG is OSRS lol. I'm old enough to remember dial-up internet but that's about it 🙃

The future is NOW old man!!!!

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 - RNG
Which systems do you feel utilize RNG the best? Where do you feel RNG does not belong? What RNG-based systems or features have you enjoyed the most?

Keep an eye out for our next Dev Discussion topic regarding Time Dedication!

Discussion about grinds

Comment
    Vaknar on Forums - Thread - Direct
For me personally (and I'm not sure why) when I think of grinding, my immediate thought goes to harvesting for crafting. Going out and 'grinding' for herbs, pelts, ore, etc.

I'm not sure if I can think of another MMO that I felt did this aspect of grinding resources perfectly... I feel each that I've played has done well and not well with this.

For me, I think open-world PvP will create an element to grinding resources that makes it more engaging :)

Ships and hijacking them

My thoughts on hijacking ships ARRR 🏴‍☠️ as follows 😜:

Y'all better watch your backs out there because I'll be hunting for booty and I'll hijack whoever I need to for it 😈

How does PvP work in Ashes

I'm excited to see people who love PvP experience open-world PvP for the first time when Ashes of Creation releases!

Do you all have any fun or interesting open-world PvP stories to share?

Let’s Talk Enchanting!

Post
    Vaknar on Forums - Thread - Direct
Hello glorious community,

Let’s start a discussion on the Enchanting system! If you haven’t heard of it yet, feel free to read more about the mechanics we’ve shared so far here: https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Enchanting

In a nutshell, Enchanting in Ashes of Creation allows for the vertical and horizontal progression of items. Vertical progression is an increase in power like more damage or increased mitigation for example. Horizontal progression is your situational advantage for instance doing force damage instead of holy damage because the monsters you're fighting are weaker to one over the other. Enchanting is one of the services that a player can provide at a player stall. One final thing to note is t... Read more

Windswept Wonders

Comment
Hello!

Some folks in Discord were wondering whether the mount in this cosmetic add-on can fly or glide. The answer is no! Because of its broken wing, it can no longer fly and cannot glide.

Just wanted to clarify here as well in case people were wondering ^_^

Windswept Wonders

Post


When the mortal races fled Verra, they brought with them what they could carry to start fresh in the world of Sanctus. Sadly, many of the crafts and creations they left behind fell to ruin, or were ground down to their component parts and carried off by wind and rain. Fortunately, enough of their traditional crafting methods were enhanced by magic, and perfected by many generations of master artisans, and consequently, some fine pieces still endure. Many artifacts survived the ravages of time and still await rediscovery for those willing to brave the dangers of the crumbling ruins in which they were entombed.

The Windswept Wonders cosmetic add-ons will be available in the ... Read more

Nothing beats finding good treasure or a hidden path where you least expect it (or perhaps in this case, where you expect it most 🤔😊

In addition to secret waterfall passages, what else do you hope to find and where would you hope to find it in Verra? ^_^

Boat/Ship Name Inscriptions Would be a Nice Touch

Comment

Very neat idea! I especially liked some of the examples you provided!

This is a feature I had always hoped to see in Sea of Thieves :sweat_smile:

What ship names can you all think of for your ships in Verra?

Hands/fist weapons.

Yeah, in Everquest 2 I used Monk. Loved Monk. It would be nice for both versions especially while combat revamp is underway (no pressure IS lol).



I'm generally a monk player in MMOs that offer it, as well!

Seeing martial arts in Ashes of Creation would certainly be cool! However, I can assure you that nothing in that image, between my exposed armpits or Margaret's fistful of fingers, has any hints or confirmations for Ashes of Creation 😅

PVP - Ganking/PKing Accountability.

The corruption system and designing a system around player intent certainly poses quite the challenge for our design team.

This thread has been a great deep dive into an interesting interpretation of how this system could work! Great conversation, everyone 😃

De-Forestation Mechanics and Tragedy of Commons Fixes

Comment
    Vaknar on Forums - Thread - Direct
I like where your head is at with this idea! We know immersion is important to our players but I wonder how this would work! I'm no game designer, but I wonder if this would go too far in the direction of anti-"game-y" gameplay 🤔

It's so cool to think about persistence and making long-lasting impacts on the world of Verra. It's something I look forward to when placing my freehold :) I wonder what other unique and immersive gameplay ideas you can think of!
