  2. Combat in it current interaction is definitely somewhere in my top 3 of all MMO's which is a good sign for something so early in development.
    With performance i agree i had 0 noticeable lag/fps drops at all while playing this game, the only time i experienced issues was server side mainly at the starting area which i left super early and didnt have server issues either except the occasionaly mob doing weird shit but that might else. As a higher ping player the game was flawlessly for me compared to say throne and liberty where i walk over uneven ground the game freaks out rubberbanding me constantly to figure out my actualy posisiton hahaha

    seeing ur name over your head atleast lets to see if you flag purple πŸ˜› but thats about it, had one situation where i randomly went purple when i was attacked and i didnt hit anyone, turns out it seems your thorns damage rangers get will flag u back cause of the reflected dmg when you are hit.

  3. I feel like there's going to be so much metagaming "exploits" with the flagging system they'll need to iron out. IE atm players standing unflagged in the middle of huge battles to die to AOE and hand out corruption. It also feels weird if you're attacked, and you try to get away by using a CC or a slow, but then you're flagged and everyone can jump you without repercussions.
    In Ultima Online, if you attacked a blue (innocent), you'd go grey (criminal) and if the person died within 2 minutes, they could give you a kill count, no matter if they fought back or not. Most importantly, they stayed blue (innocent) so no one else could jump in, kill them and take their stuff just because they fought back against the initial PK/aggressor. Guess we'll see how it pans out!

  4. I would like to see more quests to help the leveling process, but none of that "hero journey", just a bunch of random NPCs in the middle of nowhere who have quests that help you level up. The grind is fun for a while, but variety is always good, especially if the grind takes 100 or 250 hours.

  5. Imagine if they were forced to release when Crowfall did. Such a drastically better managed development. I think this will be one of those classics that we'll still be talking about/playing in 10 years.

  6. The corruption stuff sounds like karma from bdo. Shit was not good, the fact you dont get corrupt until you get the kill will lead to griefing, you would get the player low and let the pve mobs get the finishing blow resulting in a pve death.

  7. What i like is, even as non pvp andy, if you fight back against someone you lose only a third of your stuff not half. that makes me wanna engage in pvp and really learn my class to defend myself. Thats the right way to deal with pvp.

  8. You were threading water because you were taking on 6+ level packs. Not supposed to do that. It’s not even time efficient I think. But people do it for the challenge and drops. But definitely not the fastest way to level.

  9. zybak bro… can't believe i'm seeing you again! i used to watch your wotlk arena vids, many years ago. you inspired me to play feral better back then, later i eventually managed a r1 title in cata. congrats on the physical transformation too. looking forward to all the ashes fun and drama.

  10. Hy Zybak, not sure if you heard it yet but there is an option to hide the name above your character. I can't tell you exactly where it is at but I think it was somewhere where you are able to change the colors of different things that are shown.

  11. I don't get the PvP example.

    You gave "You get bullied out of the spot, or you flag up and have a normal pvp battle" as the only two options.

    But what stops me of staying in the spot, not flagging up? Then they kill me, and corrupt, or have nothing they can do.

  12. Thanks for sharing your experience. This is the kind of game I’m looking for! So much to do. WoW questing and super linear progression is boring as hell. Make your place in the space!

  13. If everything must be done in a group how will people who play the game later after release be able to level will ashes only have the player base that comes with the launch of the game because if ppl play later than the launch date and everyone leveled out of the starter zones and they cant kill mobs by themselves or complete quests that require groups
