we will all be dead before its release

it's still incredibly far from the final release. they barely released a handful of classes, and i don't think even half the map is completed, but it does look good.

@@jordicl4325 basically star citizen 2.0

@@aurum6664 nahh, this game's goals are way more realistic than star citizien's. It will take some time, but this one looks like it will actually be finished.

get good healthcare, eat well etc. if you want to see this release

He's got a whole month to milk this update! He'll talk about it.

yeah, I also realised that he didn't specifically mention it in the video besides at the end, but you could still see it in the background gameplay so it's not that big of a deal

I’m so glad they went with the the GW2 style of combat switching such a good decision this game is gonna be legendary I CANNOT WAIT

I did, infact, deliberately choose not to talk about this :) didn't wanna complicate it for people outside the loop

Advantages of playing with tab is you get to play with others, and never gave to aim. The advantage of playing true action without a lock-on is that you have to aim, and will be immediately kicked from any serious group of players for wasting their time and not taking the sure-fire shots.

hahahahahaah this!

Hahahaha. The focus on anti-Zoomerism. 😙 But the _"lack in lifeexperience"_ is already build in, into the term Zoomer. Zoomers don't know what keeps a game alive.

enjoyed the mention of your content by the developers as well as other ongoing livestreams

Dr. Fauci said that IT IS HEALTHY to wear Steven's face-printed underwear.

@@davidpare8465 cry more loser, your tears are delicious

My concern is how to defend vs bow.

This, couldn't have worded it better.

Idk why people like smashing buttons more than actually having to aim, for me thats just boring and a lazy way to play. But everyone has their own preference and thats ok.

No, this is good for carebears who can't aim and want to include friends who say they prefer action combat. Again, this isn't action combat, this is tab targetting, with auto aim, that claims to have an action combat mode as well. In pvp, this will be broken and ranged will have an even bigger advantage.

Warfighter Army This game does not aim to be 100% action combat. If you haven't accepted that at this point, it's up to you to consider whether to keep an eye on this game or give up and move on to another that is really action combat only. AoC combat system is HYBRID. As I posted elsewhere, it works perfectly in games like BnS (only real eSport MMORPG in the world due to its combat) and is way easier to balance than the randomness that comes from full-manual aim.

@@0tee5 it's an MMO, it isn't a FPS. MMO is more about positioning and decision making in combat than snappy twitch FPS bullshit. Go back to New World, that has the mechanics you like.

No this would cause the normal arrows to be obsolete in both PvE and PvP. According to the additional damge/status effect: I think this will mostly be covered by the themed enhancement of the skills/attacks through your second archetype. E.g. Ranger as first archetype -> bow abilities from the video, mage as second archetype -> makes abilities do elemental damage (or rogue second -> poison damage etc.)

Yeah armour penetrators, bleed inducers, poisons & even elemental ammo types need to a thing. Don't forget they are developing the base game though whilst we are generally comparing to established & expanded titles. Maybe the quiver item mentioned will encapsulate the modifiers needed to implement the desired ammo effects. Or it's something the team can add in a future expansion.

They're open to suggestions.... that'd be c awesome

I thought Steven said they are thinking about making quivers that house different type of arrows, although they are finite and don't recharge on their own 🤔

its one of those how real in a fantasy do you actually want to be question. At the end they need to pick the option that will help create the most fun. Getting ammo from a town or from gather materials because you forgot not only waste a players time, but it can quickly make being a ranger class a very expensive proffession to be especially if they tie rare ammo types to crafting proffessions.

Agreed, the ranger seems to have no skill shots apart from his ultimate ability sorta. Maybe they'll add skill-shot abilities down the line? They have the infrastructure from APOC.

@@iriya3227 its also not very hard programming wise

They literally said they will add skill shots that need to be aimed, and they literally talked about how you can use free aim for enemies that are too far for tab target. You can use your cursor to lead the shot on enemies that are far and running away, too far to tab target. That is action combat where it's necessary. I don't know why you losers are crying so much. If you don't like it don't play it.

2004 spamming 1 button gameplay is so fun I can't wait to press my button again and again while running away it really is a fun gameplay reminds me of the good old times 20 years ago

@@warzip1581 my genuine reaction to that information: 😐

@@warzip1581 Thats the point... distance and movement... not your type of gameplay? choose another class. don't bash at others who enjoy this type of gameplay and wish to play it, let people enjoy what they want. *P.S: reminds me of the meme: "QUIT HAVING FUN!". cope.

Yeep but i hope there's a option to reduce graphics effects, cuz there's no way to get 50-100 players on a fuckin map or camp spamming that jump shit, it'll require a good PC maybe optmize just like Lost Ark

@@warzip1581 sounds like you need other hobbies besides video games 😂

lol i want to see his real reaction to these videos it could be fun

all in good time my friends :) patience

@truely re-read

This is why you cant just have ranged be hit or miss by manual aiming and everyone else auto hitting. Generally speaking, you would have to have a hefty bonus if ranged was true action combat, and then pve encounters cant be properly made to be challenging because as a dev you have no basis to what dps players should be shelling out. Really, you would have to be all action combat around for fairness. If manual aiming got too high of a % boost, which it would need to even be viable with the realism of missing a lot and doing 0 damage, then players would cheese things and basically fight melee in their face using most likely larger missiles or say ones with 3 arrows coming out in an arc to burst pve enemies/players down instead of playing at range where more skill is needed due to higher miss chances and a loss of dps. Due to this I really dont see true manual aiming as viable. Missing is a massive disadvantage. Basically, ideally each dps class can potentially do the same dps. If you give too low a boost to manual aiming, no one will ever do it, it will just straight up be far inferior to auto hits. If you give it too high a % boost it then can just fight like melee to ensure hits, but will be far superior in damage due to the big boost. I’m just pointing out a potential issue I see with the whole thing. My only suggestion to fix would be higher damage the further your projectile flies with 3 tiers of distance with max being +30%, and min being +10%. Talents could add an extra 10% if one chose them.

i noticed this also :) I'd put it down to balance x

is basicly Pure tab

@@escarretada it's basically GW2 combat, -maybe without the auto attack on LMB not sure about that.- Yeah, it's still tab target under the hood, but being able to move the camera with a fixed reticle and being able to go from one enemy to the next without tabbing through it just makes it more fluid in my opinion Edit: actually went back and seems like your basic attack binds to your LMB after switching to the reticle

@@SoundBubble There's no auto attack in Ashes of Creation.

@@joaaocaampos I initially called it auto attack but what I meant is basic attack. Also called it that in my edit

They stated youre gonna get to decide how the numbers look a couple streams ago

PepeLaugh... thinking one piece will ever end... oh wait... AWARE

What didn't you like about the melee combat showcase? And I kinda agree with the movement, everyone having huge dashes and gapclosers may not be the best thing. Generally the slower and less mobile a game is, the more tense it is, since you have to think about range and carefully plan ahead instead of just mashing dashes without thinking.

it all depends on other classes and how balanced they are and what skills they have to counter rangers. This is topic for alpha 2, but should be pretty easy to balance this.
