MMO Ashes of Creation recently entered Phase 2 of its alpha. In today’s video we discuss how the launch went and what to expect for the rest of phase 2.

  1. It feels like it's still Phase 1. Same exploiters exploiting. Server performance problems that had been getting a lot better have actually been worse thanks to the population overload that actually exacerbated the known flaws in the design. Bugs seem more prevalent than before (but that's just how it feels, data may say otherwise). So Phase 2 has been very disappointing for a Phase Launch. A lot of the player population will depend on how/what they do in terms of exploiter discipline. The exploit from the start has had a very real and all encompassing (in terms of systems) effect on Vyra. A lot of guild things are waiting for the changes before moving forward, so to speak. The broken node XP stuff messed up a lot of things too. Now all that being said, we know it was the holidays, etc. So I fully expect things to get a lot of dev attention once they are back to work. Intrepid has done a lot of good things every time so far, so I'll be giving them the benefit of the doubt. The game stuff will get fixed, no doubt. The only real doubt will be the cheater discipline. If he doesn't bring the hammer down on the cheaters just because they include PI testers, it will tell us all a TON and have a massive and far reaching affect on the player base. Steven has been amazing over this holiday week, so I'm cautiously keeping the Copium on a low flow setting 🙂

  2. I am enjoying the game for what it is, but my issue is that there is so much false advertising with this game it's really frustrating, gathering is not as shown in the live streams, crafting is neither, character models are trash, weathering system is complete garbage compared to advertisement, and now they expect us to grind another 150 hours for 0 new content

    P2 delivered no new classes
    No new weapons
    No new zones
    No new races ( if you really think these new races are not just re coloured humans you are crazy ) dwarf looks meh but I guess it's okay
    I understand that all of this is suppose to be in by the end of 02 but releasing the new phase with literally nothing is wild to me, there open development is just marketing manipulation imo

  3. Not expecting it to be played as a game right now but as a true test. I enjoy it but the node system is what frightens me from day 1 of them telling us about it keeps being somewhat confirmed the more i see. I think it will be very toxic and also you can truelly be on a bad server where your nodes suck while on another server you see a lot of good shit on that specific village f.e.

  4. Deleting characters will literally do nothing. You don't think these dudes have already laundered like thousands of gold and gear sets to non exploiting accounts? Of course they have. If all they get is a delete they'll be back to 25 within a week still controlling everything with I'll gotten money and gear. They need to be perma banned and invited to play a different game. These people are disgusting. POLAR and ENVEOUS guild members should all be banned whole sale.

  5. I’ve been enjoying phase 2 despite all the current issues. Vyra did hit very high toxicity and it definitely came from the Resna guilds that migrated. Training mobs through other grind groups is not peak PvP but they seem to think it’s a flex. The silver lining for me is that it’s made getting to 25 with some decent gear even more satisfying. The new dungeon is pretty cool when Bellowsmasher isn’t bugged out and camping at the entrance area making it annoying to get past. The marketplace was a good addition too as it’s made acquiring gear and resources you might have had trouble getting a bit easier. Freeholds are a let down for now but at least a placeholder is live. It’s a bit rough but still loving being a glorious tester!

  6. As a security engineer, this is not a surprise. Corporate America does not care about security unless they get fined. Gaming companies are even worse because they just hope they get enough money coming in to keep people from quitting because of all of the cheats. They don't even have to deal with regulations. It's a cat and mouse game with exploiters considering the money involved in bots and everything else and then you have the "0-day" cheats that everyone uses to get ahead quickly in game that are fixed relatively quick. Gaming companies cringe at the myriad of cloud charges let alone the thought of having to pay an application security developer at a $150-160K starting salary for a senior level guy (because you don't hire anyone green for this type of work). Sad but true and it will never change.

  8. I haven't been able to play P2 yet, not for lack of trying. I lose connection to server every time I try to connect. No amount of repairing or reinstalling has worked. Feels bad.

  9. I think it was a mistake to release this before the holidays. Too many people could get online, while too many devs were offline, and that's a horrible combo.

    Releasing P2 in January woulda gone way smoother.
