It's hard to answer when not being aware of the full list of options, I do enjoy a lot of the utility skills within the TTRPG genres. One that comes to mind is Pass without trace from dnd which I could see a Bard x Rogue offering as a utility within Ashes. I think anything that ultimately allows one to interact with the world around them is awesome; such as pathfinding or clearing poisonous gas. Considering that Ashes intends to be player-driven, having an arsenal to choose from would lend a hand to unique builds and use cases. I would like to see the secondary being able to offer interesting new options or augments to utility skills for the primary class.

Without a list of options, we can still brainstorm possibilities! Your response is a good example of exactly that! Examples from other games might be a good way to get the ball rolling on what is possible! ----- There are a few ideas that we've shared before, which some will already b... Read more

Nice wiki drop! A helpful link for those who may be unfamiliar with the system <3

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 - Utility Skills What utility skills do you feel are most important? Are there certain scenarios that should require specific ones?

A few days later my posts appeared, all at the same time.

It's an additional spam filter. It can be a little overzealous at times. I manually cleared your posts earlier <3

Happy New Year all!

The pre-order packages can be found here: https://ashesofcreation.com/shop

They end on January 17.

We look forward to seeing many of you in Verra later this year for some testing <3

The game is designed for you to be properly leveled in your professions. The game just isnt designed for you to be max leveled in all the professions. You have a personal view of crafting that goes wholly against the game's view. You are gonna have a real hard time to level all them to max. Near impossible. You will give up before you do so, because it is pointless.

It will however be much easier for you to walk up to a player built stall and buy gear.

Moreover, I refuse to believe you are too socially inept to type in /say "Hey, mind if I join?" and then press accept on your screen when you walk past a open world dungeon in progress.

I guess people, especially young people, have no other frame of reference for MMO gaming than live-service single player games that are MMOs only in name. Thinking that "being social" is an occupation. It's not. It's a natural state of being. The game and community will amaze you, Im sur...

This thread has been particularly fun to read through.

OP, I can tell you put a lot of thought into the names of your classes here. Very clever and well thought through. Also, wonderful presentation with the chart you made!

I noticed some other people suggestion potential archetypes and classes. Would love to see all the ideas people think of, and what a new chart with those added ideas would look like!

• Are there similar archetypes you’ve seen in other games that you like or dislike? If so, please explain!

Interesting question! Now I want to go back to all the MMORPGs I've played to see what their cursors look like before I decide lol.

As others have stated, there currently are no plans to charge a monthly subscription for Alpha Two <3

Good job on articulating your concerns about crafting! In case you haven't already, be sure to check out the official feedback thread for the November livestream on the Artisanship System! https://forums.ashesofcreation.com/discussion/56734/feedback-request-alpha-two-artisanship-preview-shown-in-november-livestream/p1

I look forward to our upcoming testing phases in which players can dive into Artisanship and see if their concerns change or adapt after playing with the system!

We'll have more detailed information to share regarding Alpha Two as we get closer to its launch date! For now, we'll share more information on it's release during the upcoming December livestream <3

Master gatherers may have the ability to "spoil" a boss' loot.[42]

If you want to be able to get those mats from the boss, they're just not going to drop for anybody. They will only drop for a master gatherer who is capable of extracting those resources from the creature itself... The reason why we say there's a lot of interdependencies between the crafters of the world and the raiders of the world and our PvPers of the world is because we don't want to house the capability to attain these things all within the adventuring class. We want there to be an influence necessary from the craftsmen's guild to come in to either come and participate and spoil the boss and gather the goods or something along those lines.[42] – Steven Sharif

Nice assist! Here's the link for those who'd like to read more: https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Platforms

I just want to make sure I'm understanding correctly. Are you saying you'd like to make your forum badges your profile picture? Or do you want them displayed differently on your profile?

How did this briefly derail into holiday cosmetics and then get back on topic 😂

So, the consensus is no cat girls, but all-in on candy cane swords? /s

Also, we don't know when the Alpha2 will start, but they're supposed to tell us the quarter of the next year during the december's stream (in 8 days).

Nice assist, @NiKr :)

Great back and forth going on in this thread, which is so fun to read through c:

Are there any other 'Why is this always the case, and could it be done differently?' ideas yall can think of?

Another interesting question that could be added is if the answer is yes to any of the OP questions; how would you enact that? Would it be a toggle, setting, something to earn, etc? :)

Correct me if I'm wrong or confused, but after reading the OP, I thought @Dripyula was referring to corrupted essence, rather than ... Read more
