What is Ashes of Creation?
Ashes of Creation is a unique take on the MMO experience. Our world structure is dynamic and built to react to the actions of our players. Cities will rise and fall, their populations based on the history of the world as the players create it. Quests will unlock as these populations gather, their needs grow, and secrets are unlocked. As the world’s NPC structure is established in real time, players will have the ability to destroy what they’ve created, paving the way for new development, new populations, and real change. Political strife and intrigue will play a very real role in the structure of your world. Gone are the days of static worlds, change is here to stay.
Risk Vs Reward
All across Verra, you have the opportunity to experience massive warfare, participate in epic trade caravans, and gather valuable components to craft exquisite items. Not only will your fellow players be your adversaries; the creatures of the land and the very environment itself will pose a constant and fresh challenge. Will you siege castles to become royalty, defeat other guilds to showcase your prowess, shape the marketplace by being a successful trader, or earn renown by developing your artisan crafting skills? This is your story, you tell us!

Casuals calling for permanent bans in an alpha test is WILD, Reset/Wipes have always been fine with Exploits/Dupers no one is arguing that O.o Casuals have always been the downfall of games and it's happening here, sad to see. Wait till Betas if you're not okay with a TESTING environment, Don't ruin testing and by proxy the game itself, narc needed a break and i see a lot of others that need one too. If people cared about breaking TOS so much then they should never use the Codex ever again, but they won't because that's not something people actually care about.
Not a single person was 25 on day 1 or day 2. There is so much mis information in this video that its pretty obvious you want to just bait people in for views by putting "exploiting" in the title.
Permanent bans for testing the game is wild brother.
He never bans anyone or even resets them unless a big streamer like Pirate or Asmon gets upset…then it happens within hrs. Since you don't have at least a million followers he will ignore you just like he does the rest of the players
Is it possible to level cap them at 10? I think that would be punishment for those hardcores. 🤷♂️
I completely agree. I play on lotharia and there is a guild ( Sol Deus) on this server that has abused the tank mitigation bug for weeks. They told Steven about the bug on one of his streams, but that does not justify them abusing it for so long and none of them has been banned or reset to lvl 1.
It's time for Intrepid to show that they take the exploitation and bug abuses seriously and do something about it.
EVE died cause the devs never punished their buddies ingame for exploits. Ashes will have the same fate if Steven does not act.
They should be perma banned no questions about it. And if they are not then it would kinda break my trust for Steven and his team because they did promise they will ban exploiters, gold sellers etc and if they dont well… It would set wrong precedent for future and I dont want that. And if you cheat and exploit then you should be banned permanently and loose all your shit. Its againts the rules which you agreed when you started playing the game.
So exhausting hearing everything in the game being called an exploit. It is so bad for the longevity of the game and even the future of this test.
Are there real exploits? Sure. We reported the people using the tank mitigation bug en mass (Nova Ordem on Vyra for example), nothing happened for weeks when they should've been punished in 2 days. Duping? You should be gone. Using 15 weapons in your bag to gain 5000 procs? Yeah you're cringe but the devs completely dropped the ball it was known about and reported in p1. The team's communication is ass. Spamming wars? Yeah we reported the rewards directly to the developers 2 months ago, at this point it's the intended system straight up.
Everything else?… What are we talking about lol. People leveling fast isn't an exploit, it's never called an exploit in any other mmo. This community is so "hardcore" yet ass at the game and fragile beyond belief. In every other mmo whenever someone finds some crazy farm it's always praised as new tech and then the devs note it and tune it or fix it. That's on LIVE servers btw, this is an ALPHA where we're literally here to break the game so the mob AI etc. can be fixed. Holy shit man. I didn't even use the carphin or steelbloom farm but watching this whole phase unfold so far has been nauseating, it's like nobody expected competitive players to ever touch this game.
Banning people in an alpha for hyper optimizing a game where my horse doesn't even have a walking animation half the time will ensure that nobody will report the real exploits (like the weapon bug we reported months ago btw) again.
Ban pj, no player… Alpha test?
While I mostly agree with your thoughts and how you would handle these cheaters and exploiters it's also important to consider that this is still a testing environment which makes exploiters somewhat valuable pre full release. For the time being and understanding it is more work for the devs to manage I believe resetting characters back to lv 1 and removing the items/currency from the economy is the wiser decision until 1.0.
Banning is too heavy handed.
Loosing Access to Alpha is enough
Perma Ban in a Alpha is a terrible idea. Reset their chars if u can u male them restart. The damage is done already. Or maybe make the mobs able to pull the guy down or something. Just this test already seems like a mess with the power leveling and material hording. And doesn't help so many people are Jammed in one area vs being spread out
2:40 – Yep! You see it in so many other games when it comes to cheating/exploiting/using addons… "Everyone else does it, so I have to do it to remain competitive".
It's amplified in a MMO with open PvP, because exploits completely undermine the entire spirit of the game where it's other players – not just computer NPCs – being affected.
This channel has devolved into witch hunting for content.
Point #1, exploiting in both phase 1 and phase 2 needs permaban, totally agree.
Point #2, I think using height exploit or tank invulnerability should be an immediate character reset for all involved providing no previous exploiting and permaban if a repeat offender. As such some people in a group using this exploit may get reset and serve as their one and only warning while others in that same group may be permabanned.
Im sure Steven will hear this and make you the new CEO and get your coffee for you.. psh its alpha, its not that serious.
lol perma ban cmon dude, its alpha
I would like Steven to act faster
We dont punish a bad behaviour so late
I would like Steven to publicly and give details
Everyone knows exactly what they're doing.
SOL'S EYE SEES ALL! Delete the Characters and FreeHolds, Account ban multiple offenders, and move on!
Also, if any PI's get banned go ahead and upgrade my account to PI because I'm a tester, not a cheater.
I bet reviewing logs and improving exploit detection rules is one of many things Intrepid is working on atm, and likely not that high on the priority list as some of you wish for. They clearly also don't have a team which is focused on that task alone, I bet those activities are likely "extra" work in someone's busy work schedule.
Get em' V!
Should you consider that this just testing phase. And at the rate they are building the game it won't be out for another 8 years. Why the rant for something that is not relevant, these open exploits are giving a perspective for developers what flaws to fix and remove for the final product. You are aware this is not a game but a beta test and you bought in your beta tester place for ridiculously high price and now treating it as an actual game
Warnings have bin in P1 and Pre Alpha.. not only that you agree to more then enough rules that server as a warning. Finding an exploit and at the end of the day you report and let it be is diff then using it for weeks on. Personally I care more about the griefers at this point… I want to know Stevens standpoint on that…
I would be ok with banning them until the end of phase 2 with a warning that 2nd ban is perma.
