Thats great to hear, I still thought for an alpha it played well!

@@Ebbnflow ya, the action combat is not even in yet, just a few abilities for testing. I think auto attack will be automated, because a lot of ppl know how to write a Logitech macro.

@@RonixEnclave you can be as pessimistic as you want, but Intrepid has delivered on most things they have said. When people point out issues they address them pretty quick. Im not riding their dick or anything, but they don't really have a bad track record yet so i would hold off on that opinion

@@RonixEnclave that's EXACTLY why ppl are rooting for Steve and Chris Roberts. If they ARE successful at releasing a near bug free, playable game, it will change how gamers see game releases. If you don't believe me, check out Cyberpunk 2020. They lost $55 million in profits because of that fiasco, AND their next game will get squat for pre-orders.

Bingo

Ahh, see that sounds like fun. Next test I think I'll definitely jump in discord and try to play with others.

How's the situation regarding mass pvp and areas with high player count? Is there any latency issues?

@@marubinmgd6838 of course. Its alpha Better now than launch. I will tell you. It felt better and better every day

@@graftonpoland6725 in terms of visuals how far can you see players roaming around? It would be badass seeing lots of players 100 steps away

@@marubinmgd6838 I watched a guild of 40 all running away for as far as I would assume my real eyes could see

Thanks Lily, yeah Ashes seems super promising.

You could always try the final fantasy 14 free trail (each class up to lvl 60 and full base game + expansion 1 with some limtations)to get to know the basics of an mmo and switch when ashes of creation comes out

Same, I never played MMOs that much but ashes seems something like I would play for a long time.

Try lost ark

Try Guild Wars 2 !

of course!

I know right.....ive been playing burning crusades prepatch....try LOTRO that games an oldy but goodie

Hows the combat do u got swing and connect like chivalry or the battle royale or is it more auto attack? Auto attack to me gets mega boring and is very generic and old school.

@@akadopeboi pretty sure it uses a hybrid system kind of like ESO

@@ghekor No. So far it's mouch more tab-targeting based, but there are some skills that requires aim. Kinda like MOBA skillshots.

As a great man (Bo Burnham) once said: lower your expectations. The main thing that kills a game is the hype, so if you would allow me to give you any advice, it would be to wait and be happy and excited about what you see in the present, and try not to hope for things in beta or in launch, because chances are that if you are expecting something for the launch of the game, you are going to get disappointed in some way. Just wait for the game and be happy and excited about what the game is, and not about what you want/wanted it to be. You will have waay more fun with the game that way, trust me.

why does it need to be a wow killer LOLLL ... u are so delusional with ur fucking arguments about ashes of creation it's insane ... cant wait until it's out and nobody play it

@@francoisturgeon1176 lol someone is a little upset. I didn't argue anything either so idk what you're on about killer😂 also a lot of ppl will play it. Now if it's successful that's the question and how is it delusion when it's something I hope for? I never said this IS a wow killer and I never said this WILL be awesome on realesed I said hope. Just sit down and remember to take your medicine. 👋

I mean, you're setting yourself up perfectly though. If you end up liking it you'll be pleasantly surprised, if you dislike it your expectations were already low. So honestly thats the best way to view it. I do agree that the node system could be a big flop. Fingers crossed it will be a good game once finished, so far its been a decent experience!

@@Ebbnflow Exactly. I am giving my honest opinion from 20+ years of experience with MMOs as well as other competitive games. I love how , if you say anything negative, the fanboys are always like “bruh it’s called an alpha for a reason”. Not talking about your comment ebbnflow. You’ve had the only intelligent comment with regards to my criticism. If the game turns out great I’ll be happy. We need new, good, MMOs.

Yeah shaman sounds like a fun one!

Ahh, see I never fought in action mode!

@@Ebbnflow ​ @Ebbnflow Yeah, it's a little different than what I'm used to in MMORPGs. Sort've feels like swinging a weapon within an action RPG. As a cleric, I liked the traditional style better myself. The keybinding was either the Z, X, or C key? I can't remember which of those 3 it was. Worth toying around with. You can't work with your UI while within the mode, so a hotkey to swap between the two is very useful if you do use it. Left clicking is usually dedicated to clicking the UI, so this makes the keybinding open to use for swinging a weapon with an action camera. The game will automatically toggle off this mode temporarily while you loot items, but it may still present problems to support characters, as targeted abilities tend to benefit from clicking on party frames in MMORPGs.

Yeah I would like to see the auto attack changed a bit!

yeah i think there's a lot of tactical potential there for sure. Any time you have a choice rather than just mindlessly doing the obvious thing is good

I would call it attack, not "auto" attack xd

How is single button spamming skill based? With a true AUTO attack, skill based gameplay is paying attention to your swing timer, and casting spells at the right time.

Yeah, was definitely looking at the different ranger subclasses

960 and a i7

@@Ebbnflow Alright! I'm rocking a 970 and Ryze 5 1500x. I should be able to play on low to medium! Thanks for answering I'll subscribe and follow the development through your channel

Not sure yet :(

yeah, the perfect action imo is TERA. It's not demanding and it just feels great. Came out 10 years, it still blows my mind no one copied the style

@@StarRavage laughs in bdo

Right now, mass pvp (especially sieges) are still not optimized, and can be very bad for people with lower spec systems! It will be optimized, and it is adjusted to future systems!

I believe that because of the comunity as a whole, meeting all the expectations will be very hard. People that are expecting a life changing, world stunning and universe overhauling node mechanics are going to be very disappointed lol, as one great man with the name of Bo Burnham once said: just lower your expectations.

I know this is old but ranger was supposed to be in but there was a bug that broke the client when u equip a bow and couldnt fix it by the time alpha was out so thats sad

Yes, I agree 100% with you, even in this comment section there are a lot of people saying what they need the game to be/want it to be, and not really being happy with how things are now, which in my opinion, the game already looks great even for an alpha. Its sad but the frase “What kills a game is its own hype” is really true, and I hope that people can come to their senses and ignore the hype buzz and accept the game for what it will be and not for what it could be in their heads, and also don’t be mad when the delays in the schedule come (which more than likely they will) and understand that the delays are good things, that means the devs don’t want to realease a unintended, unplanned and unfinished version of the game.

Maybe it will work similar to archeage (The autoattack is the first ability in every base class and is spammable, but it's always worth to prioritize other abilities with cooldowns over it. Basically works like a filler ability)

Fairly certain the game will have a colorblind mode for accessibility. Don't know of a single popular game that doesn't. They have said they wanted to go for a more immersive approach and encourage players to go around explore and talk to NPC's, not to follow a line of arrows.

​@@kooken58 Well to be honest the colorblind mode does not work.. It works only for some type of colorblindes(depends on color spectrum) but usualy it sux and never help. The mark above head dont need to have color. I can see "!" = oh i can get quest here or "?" = I can finish quest by talking to this one. Just dont like the idea that this should be determined by nameplate color. But ty for answer. Didnt know about this approach.

Steven himself is some type of colorblind, so I'm pretty sure they'll work out that aspect.

To some extent, with an alpha, you can determine what they prioritize, vs what's going to be an afterthought. So far, I have some concerns about the game based on that. The movements of the characters are stiff and unnatural.. ..Couple that with an incompetent "Steven" who runs into rocks and trees all the time, and it just doesn't look very engaging. The environments look like 'Generic Good Graphic Assets' -the game. Your avatar should be priority #1. Everything you do extends from that avatar. The environment your character exists in should be priority#2. If you can't get those two things to be better than 'Generic Good Graphics Game', then there's no point in worry about quests, boss fight mechanics, or Siege Strategy.

100%

It'll take a while before they will release the summoner

It is not as obvious and will encourage players to pay more attention to detail to the surrounding area. Like in classic wow, stuff you had to collect didnt "sparkle" like in later expansion. You knew you need mushrooms and had to look around and explore to find them, not just look for a sparkle and a marker on the map. It keeps your mind engaged to the world

It might change but for me it is just less disruptive. Instead of chasing "exclamation" marks you go up to various NPC's and talk to them. Also many of the NPC's don't just throw quests at you right when you talk to them. It is sort of like more traditional RPG's where you go through a dialogue prompt and then they offer a quest.

@@kooken58 Yes exactly, it encourages players to a sense of exploration, which is missing in a lot of modern mmorpgs. I'd love to see these aspects in the game. They can still give you a proper hint in your questtext as of "you find the zombies northwest of x village", to avoid players being frustated by running around hours not finding the desired location.

There will be challenging high-end PvE Content like in WoW. Difficulty of encounters will vary depending on how fast you killed the prior boss in a raid / dungeon. Maybe comparable to Ulduar hardmodes, if you played back then (Being better and killing a boss faster will lead to harder bosses and that will lead to better loot)

@@Dangerous1939 Nice though sounds a bit odd with the idea lets say you have bosses 1-3 on farm and need to prog boss 4. Wont this make it harder to then progress boss 4 if you smash the stuff you already know like the back of your hand? e.g when I did progress last expansion we would clear most of the raid in an hour and then spend 2 hours wiping on last boss Nzoth for the progression. Still kind of like the idea kind of speed running mentality re-enforcing though might be gamed by intentionally making the boss easier by intentionally waiting longer as to not raise the difficulty. Thanks you for the info :)

@@jacekkulinski4414 In your case: You can control the difficulty of boss 4 yourself. Just kill Boss 3 a bit slower on purpose to give Boss 4 an easier AI table It's like: Kill Boss 1 in under 2 minutes => Boss 2 will have 10% more hp and 1 additional mechanic Kill Boss 1 in under 1:30minutes => Boss 2 will have 20% more hp and 2 additional mechanics. If you're not ready for Boss 2 with these values, kill Boss 1 slower on purpose and then kill the easier Boss 2 and get some gear first, before you attempt Boss 2 on the highest difficulty. This is a simplified concept but that's currently how they plan to design dungeons and raids. Additionally, the further you dive into them, the stronger mobs and bosses will get anyways Speedrunning is basically impossible if this is made properly, as it will challenge every raid group to their maximum capabilities and reward them accordingly

Not currently available! I think both the summoner and ranger seem really fun. The idea of being a hybrid of both also seems cool! Definitely will try it out when its available

Yeah wildstar was pretty fun with how they did combat

@@Ebbnflow i just feel like going hard on the tab target combat is a risky play in a world where wow exists. In addition to the fact that with how the 'auto' attack functions seems like it was intended to be played in a action combat mode

I hope they won't show quest areas on the large map but rather give a proper hint in the questtext. if there is "you usually find those zombies in the southwestern area of village x" and you can find village x on the map, you should have no troubles to find stuff.

dude its in alpha

Solid 6. With friends/guild that would definitely increase the enjoyment as I played all alone

@@Ebbnflow for a super early alpha in the early levels (that are usually kinda boring in MMOs) that's pretty good

@@EB-bl6cc A 6 for someone who paid that much to play this game is like a 2 for normal people ngl

@@3dge7 How is the amount of money you spent boosting your enjoyment though? lol

@@3dge7 Flawless logic

I did hear about that. Im really sad the game died out so fast. I thought it was extremely fun early on.

@@Ebbnflow oh it was extremely fun! If private servers become available I will play again

Yeah, I think with more abilities it might weave in nicely with other spells. Hopefully!

@@Ebbnflow Not. Not at all like ESO

eso combat is horrible, hopefully its closer to gw2 in smoothness

@@crowigor thank god. ESO combat is unbearable

Steven said he liked Archeage and a lot of their systems. If he liked the combat and wants to achieve similar fluidity, we are super fine. Archeage combat feels very nice

Which is excellent, because it already feels pretty good!

All MMOs that are out suck ass. WOW and Eve online are good but old af and not worth getting into.

FFXIV. Sometimes I dabble with DCUO and TESO. Not really optimistic about New World. More interested in Swords of Legends and Lost Ark NA. The latter I played to endgame on RU and loved.

I agree with you, sadly a lot of it is dreaming of the next fun mmo to play. Lots to pick from at the moment but none of them really have pulled me in recently :(

New world has killed itself before it’s even out. There’s no passion behind it, only algorithms and data. Look at how they’re considering boosts before the game has even released.

New World is Dead On Arrival. Ashes is the only hope in MMOs a lot of us have. I play Valheim, AoE2, Dota 2 and Apex Legends atm. Last year I also finished Dragon Age Origins for the fifth time.

I am that way too, I really like the tab target playstyle

For me it depends on how they use action, I am fine with some form of hybrid combat like GW2, Wildstar, or DCUO... if it's purely tab targeted, then there has to be more strategy involved in how you approach the fight, and if it's purely action it can't just be explosive and excessive like say the Devil May Cry or Bayonetta games, and prefer it to be more deliberate like say the newest God of War or Dark Souls

Tab target is great. For me, the best tab target MMO I’ve played was AION. The combat was so fluid that it felt like action combat at times. The best actual action combat MMO I’ve played was Tera. Again it has a very nice fluidity. Both games use somewhat of a skill chain system which is naturally gonna make combat smooth.

Big true. Combat in WoW and Archeage is perfect for MMORPGs. Tab-Target with some aim abilities like lines, cones or ground areas

There is going to be an action combat option as well

Like the choices we make as a tribe,l. tribal councils, sieges, and the morality we will portray as we play. bsinwisnwosbw im getting excited just thinking about it again

Never mind, 13:52 was where my answer was found. That's good news! 😊

They have told people publicly many times to NOT pay to play in the testing.

You are dumb. If so many people want to play it in alpha they have to make in pay to play, that way they can eliminate those that don't care about the game as much, and have future players test it.

@@User-td2wg No, you're the dumb one. Testing a game is a job with responsibilities, and it used to be a paying job. When you have someone pay to test, they don't have a sense of responsibility, they have a sense of entitlement to get their money's worth. Paid testers are consumers. All they're doing is skipping an important development stage, and bringing the product to market early.

@@VegetoStevieD you are right but this game is also partially crowd funded game it had a kickstart and all

@@21berkyx That's a fair point, but it's still a perversion of tried and true developmental cycle. 🤷‍♂️

Well if it gets better thats great news. Already felt pretty decent to me!

NW is DOA

This game isnt doing a whole lot new that hasnt been done before besides its node system. NW is going to be ok but its definately not the next major MMO its too barebones it will probably be fun to play for a few months at least when there isnt really any mmos releasing anytime soon. AoC has probably a min 2 years before release, everything else is japanese and korean style mmos that rarely go anywhere, there is corepunk but thats going to have a farely nieche community.

@@jesperburns just because of cash shop ? so stupid .

@@jordenrisley6761 No. Not just because of the cash shop. Because they do have not enough content, their combat system is shit for MMOs, and it's made by AGS. Plus, what I've seen of their content; that's shit too.
