Thank you everyone for tuning in! As always, this is still a work in progress towards our Alpha II starting in October. Lighting is in the middle of a significant revamp, so some areas may be too dark and VFX overexposed, we are working on that and will have more updates next month. Leave us your thoughts on what you enjoyed about the Bard Archetype for Alpha II. What would you change? We do these updates to hear your thoughts! Excited to see you all in A2 soon enough! Much Love <3
Bard looks great visually and great to play but in being a buffer IMO he needs a huge buff. For now i think another DPS would be more impactful in party than a bard but it is probably gonna be adressed with some numbers changed on some skills and a party with 2 bard could do some cool lineup options when buffed. Gonna be hard choice to pick a class.

This looks better compared to a few months ago. Good job.
Loved the live stream and thank you for this youtube upload as always. I am most interested to know how bard as a secondary archetype will affect your class. I reckon we still have a while before we get the augments stream, but in case you have some information you can share, can you give us some examples of how the secondary bard archetype might affect say a fighter's abilities? Perhaps in the AMA?
what a great show case, leaves me thinking how easy it will be to enjoy but how high the skill level could get to… very exciting
Finally. Actual mechanics with regular world mobs. Thank you. Every mmo leveling experience is a f*n droolfest. Haven't seen this since early 2000s
Really hope this is not another start citizen. That developer never released and always in alpha
24:48 Sounds a lot like Sona from LoL. Exciting 🎉
Game is looking better with every update , i have faith in you guys , keep at it and never give up , looking forward to playing bard/rogue with aoe lesser invisibility ;D
Ranger skill effects need some work. Doesn't have much power behind it
It would be nice if the marks on the mobs would go away after they have been killed.
Yeah, 25% to lifesteal 50% damage dealt will be nerfed into the dirt, especially with warrior spins and multihit attacks for PVP. I saw that and immediately know how that plays out.
The lighting looks good in the world but when you add the VFX of the spells it feels like it is layered on top of everything else which makes it hard to see what's happening instead of living in the world. It should light up dark rooms with the color of the spells.
what i need to do for a beta tester key i send like 200 emails , try to be one of the first on the webpage went they open and put my email and nothing
Clean-shaven dwarf! Blasphemy!
Will summoners be able to choose where their summons are relative to themselves or will they be trailing along like ducklings
I am generally curious why you put spikes on every fucking plate armor?
Did your concept artist got their visually library from a Saturday morning cartoons?
as somebody who had a Sword Singer main in Lineage for years, i cant wait to see what bard is going to be like.
The Blade Dancer and Sword Singer were both party bards in that game, that were so important – any part of 9 members would allmost never do any group activity without these two bards.
And to put it into perspective how important those two bards were – if the other party has 8 members +1 bard, and your party had 7 members +2 bards, the two bard party would allmost allways win the pvp 9vs9 fight, unless the enemy was way too overgeared. Both bards had a synergy with each other, like one would buff crits chance and speed, but other bard crit damage and attack speed.
57:05 damn just like GW1 Infuse health. I have not seen such ability since then. Epic stuff
Would be nice if there's a spell that make book block some of the projectiles or melee attacks. Those would be great looking animations.
i just get such LOTRO Vibes haha
but…
man…
I still hope I can be excited about this game
This whole pvp in dungeon kind of things..
I just sense soo much griefing lol
AoC x House of Dragons
Unpopular opinion here but I think some abilities look too mage-like. Understand this is maybe just my opinion again but expected instruments being more present and generally a more rogue-ish bard maybe? Don't get me wrong, loved the dance animations and the tome looks sick, is just that honestly it feels off-putting to see a bard shooting purple magic with a book as a whole.
This should be a game design decision but yeah, was expecting a more trickster-style bard fantasy.
Keep it up with the nice work though, very excited for the game.
If you want to see a really well done bard look at how Project Gorgon does it. It's *amazing*. The first time I started playing music during a boss fight and the music synced up I was like OOOOOOOOOOOH and now bard is my main.
Really, check it out. Brilliantly done.
Can you make it so that when the support select a person in the group frame, the selected person (name, health bar and mana bar at the left of the screen) is surrounded in yellow, to see in a better way who we select ?
Can you show the healthbar of our allies with another color, like idk purple, when they have a debuff which cleric can cleanse ?
Can we display ourself in the group frame ?
And can we select people in the group with hotkeys like F1, F2, F3 etc.?
Thanks
My wallet is ready
Awesome showcase! Not my cup of tea, but judging by the comments it seems most are very happy with the bard. My only concern is how well this Archetype will play solo. Guess we will have to see, and keep up the AWESOME work Intrepid. You guys are just killing it!!!!
It would be awesome if you guys had a popular wow player guest on all of your updates . They will be there flipping out about all things
My favorite thing so far about AoC is the world feel. I know this is only one biome, but the vibes are just great.
Wish the instruments were not just cosmetic for Bards
I am absolutely excited about this class! The fighter video was awesome but seeing how beautiful these abilities look, sound and considering the amount of power the bard brings to a big group of players, I might main the bard actually. 🙂
I would recommend when you introduce the toons. The should wave or something.
I’ve read that others have voiced this concern. How will the Bard function solo? If I’m out and about all by my lonesome, picking some herbs. Am I considered easy pickings?
This game is looking amazing! You guys are seriously putting in a ton of work, and it shows with each showcase. Question: will there be damage and healing trackers?
If I'm hiding behind a wall, will the spellbook clip through and give away my position?
