jamie, 50 is not boomer crowd…its gen x LOL
There are definitely going to be more younger people than most would expect, pretty much everyone wants a game with the level of social interaction ashes of creation has. Can't imagine there will be as many young people in testing phases though
I'm a tab for inventory because I like to adhd spam my inventory to see what i have in there after every kill. kthxformytedtalkbai
it would be nice get the choice to alter tab target into a skill shot on most spells and get rewarded for it

Hello! Another excellent video. You work great with Jamie and Anie.
Some comments about the action/tab topic.
I really like Ashes, I'm pretty invested into the game and pro-hybrid combat.
I'm lucky enough to enjoy everything from tab like uo, l2 or wow to action like helbreath, darkfall, bdo, or new world and I must say I'm in general pretty happy about the current state of the combat.
It looks fluid, fast paced and fun. Melee action combat looks absolutely fenomenal, but I have my doubts about ranged combat.
I agree with what you say, we need to test it extensively, see how it evolves, what works and what feels good.
There are some types of skills, classes and play styles like targeted heals, buffs, debuffs or having to control another character with pets classes that just work better with tab and that's reason enough to have hybrid.
That being said, for the rest of the combat system give me action free-target gameplay anyday. It's more engaging, more fun, adds a layer of complexity, gameplay possibilities and skill ceiling that tab just can't imitate.
You can take cover behind objects or another players (hope they emulate this part well with their tab), you can dodge, you can distract the enemy, etc. In general you need much better spatial awareness to track the movements of both your enemies and yourself, because you need to follow your target and aim.
Aiming and hitting shots with your bow or thrown weapon, playing with the physics of your projectiles just feels great, same with well-placed spells. It's much harder, but it's rewarding as hell, more fun and changes the game a lot.
You can add a lot of fun mechanics to PVE with targeting, like differentiated hit zones on bosses and structures beyond cycling between different body parts by just hitting tab and hitting your rotation (1-2-3-4-5-6 repeat) until it breaks. You can use it to create vulnerable zones on bosses, puzzles, hidden mechanics and interactions…
It also changes a lot about PVP, both in small skirmishes and massive battles.
I'm not a fan at all about tab target ranged mode and how everything non-templated seems to follow people around. Some skills? Sure, tracking arrows or spells are cool. And I imagine that you need to make tab target skills track to some degree. But as default? Nope. If I manage to get out of the way of a projectile or take cover I should be able to avoid it, If I jump between an ally and a enemy arrow I should be able to take the hit for him. I hope they at least limit the angles and speeds at which projectiles can follow you and check for obstacles mid-fly including other characters.
Also, I think it's very reasonable for people to expect action combat in AOC for two reasons.
First, we have been told many times since they decided to go the hybrid route that combat will have a 50-50 split of action and tab, and that most skills would have both options through talent points and augments.
Second, we did a pretty cool test called apocalypse to test the action part of the combat and it worked.
So yeah, I can see where people is coming from and they are right, Intrepid put themselves in that spot.

I think younger folks will come if the game gets popular and yeah combat is good. I dont think theyre as inclined to invest time into a game that isnt out yet
Tossed up between joining Black Talon TC and the Cartel. So many great options for guilds out there.
Great video. Good conversation points. Thanks Nyce & Tangets.
