With Ashes of Creation in Full Steam Ahead mode A few concerns have been raised when it comes to their development.
Where is the Gameplay? Why is there such a heavy focus on Graphics and why do they only show off Artwork based updates!?
Well… In today’s video we’ll be addressing these questions as well as touching on Unreal Engine 5’s potential for the game’s long term development.

Hey what up bois. So I want to make a kind of announcement here about my upload schedule… Some great things have changed for me in real life recently and I want to take some time to relax a bit before the Alpha 2 comes and consumes my life. I will be reducing my usual upload scedule from every 3 days to every 4 and I hope you guys don’t mind. Your support has completely and utterly changed my life and I cannot thank you all enough. This change should result in higher quality topics and editting as well as not burning me out because I am quite litterally… out of content (any help steven?)
Anyway, Come join the discord ’cause I’m active there 24/7: https://discord.gg/muwNp8NhbB

  2. Hmm…. still not enough gameplay shown. Game design, theory, principles and art can only go so far. It is a bit weird that more game isn't shown. I don't call videos on seasonal weather changes and biomes, gameplay. They are obviously stalling for one reason or another

  3. When it come to graphics, its not just about how impressive they are. The style needs to be original to avoid becoming generic, it's not enough to just crank everything to eleven visual wise.
    I think AoC is hitting their mark on the style, i don't think i would mistake this game for anything else. Not something you can say about half of the games out there.

  14. I have a huge problem with the BDO has the best looking graphics point. Yes, BDO does look great on remastered. Yet, to remain competitive, you have to basically turn the game into a classic Runescape visually looking game, given how the FPS ties into animation speed. This basically forces everyone to play a hideous looking game in order to be efficient. I seriously pray this isn't the case for Ashes, as it is my main gripe with BDO, even more than the p2w. In BDO, the p2w is there even before you open the cash shop, putting everyone in a rat race to see which 3090ti can render more frames of a complete abomination. Please, Ashes, just please.

  15. I don't think Graphics make people interested, there's games such as Mount and Blade: Warband that literally looks like ass yet had an insanely consistently high playerbase.

  19. What I liked about WoW spell effects is that you could tell what was being cast such as a shadowbolt or mage aoe. It gave you information on what other players were doing and you could see who was in your party without even looking at the interface.
    The spell effects for AoC look neat but they do need to tone them down significantly; powerful long cooldown abilities can have an exception to this.

  24. Lmao, Ashes is going to be a huge shit show. "Art we can show" "The systems you have to play to experience". So that means they have jack shit on those systems to show. They can easily showcase the systems by playing themselves instead of saying "Well uh, you gotta play these systems to experience it but here's some more graphical art for you." And the fact it's still in alpha. At this point it makes me wonder if these "systems" are going to be anywhere near what they initially said they were going to be.

    Just another Star Citizen at this point.

  32. Gameplay systems and whatnot are what everybody wants to see. Graphics aside if a game doesn't play well, it doesn't matter if the game looks great. Steven said that the mechanics, the combat, etc spread like wildfire among the community. Them showing systems way before they are ready would potentially be bad for their business since people will look at this first stage combat system and think 'god this looks like shit. I'm not playing this trash game', and click off never to watch videos about it again. First impressions are everything. And they won't look further into it down the line when the system is fully fleshed out, because that's just how people are. So I am of the opinion that they need to just show stuff when it's ready, not before. Everybody is waiting on the edge of their seat for more combat showcasing, and we'll get that next tid bit of info with the next livestream. I can't wait to see it.

  33. All wows problems are lazy development. Lack of talent and lack of inspiration to take it further. The servers are old. The game is old. The devs are clueless. The game needs work from the ground up. I'm so pleased I've recently unsubbed and stopped playing.

  35. My biggest issue is that we have no idea what the lore of the world is. It's fine and dandy to have a sandbox style world, but there needs to be some form of setup lore that makes the world at least believable. Otherwise the player is just wandering out across a void desert with no motivation other than survive. Some may like this concept, but they are the minority.

  37. man the production quality of your videos are all so good, you literally greenscreen just to make a funny intro. great job, it is really impressive that you can make a successful channel off of a game that doesn't even exist yet

  39. Content/mechanics etc. will always trump graphics
    it makes sense for nice graphics in the modern day, but I'd never deny a good game because of it's visuals. A lot of people miss out on good games because of this type of ignorance, but they're most likely the type who've never gotten to experience a truly great game, unfortunately.. zoomers are in the category of missing out on a lot of good games. They were born too early to be part of the era of making a good game for the sake of making a good game, vs making a game with the aim of profits alone.

    Look at terraria is a good modern day example.. the graphics aren't really anything special, but the playability with friends is pretty damn good I'd say.
    The same could even be seen with LOTR (not the game), compare the original trilogy to the current POS tv series that's come out.. the visuals are essentially the same, but the story behind it is dog crap, hence Amazon blocking reviews for it

    WoW classic is imo still an awesome game too, but it requires a community.. it can't just stagnate either forever like Blizz let it.. it needs at least annual server resets & other things injected into it for people to have new things to aim for, such as world records after restarts on the fresh realms.
    I see a lot of people cry about the levelling grind in WoW classic, but I personally think WoW classic on a fresh server is still one of the best gaming experiences available (if only it was still available)

    I can't imagine an MMO ever having the same kind of excitement and hype behind it as WoW did before WoW came out, the previews for it prior to launch were exciting AF & when it came out & the excitement of being able to see the world unspoiled prior was an unbeatable moment in time.
    Any MMO that comes out today will be spoiled, everything is already detailed and documented on "how" to play & that kind of crap sucks.

    I miss when gaming was skill based to a higher degree, guides ruin games in that regard.. a stupid person can be on par with someone with common sense

    Graphics are for sure an awesome component to games though & impressive graphics will always be impressive.. but a boring game is a boring game, that's ultimately what it comes down to.

  42. this has been my concerned since people first started hyping this game. the animations always looked janky as hell, like a modern version of lotro. everyone walking like they have full diapers. low framerate combat animations.

  45. I just want to explore games by myself and with my friends because of that i enjoyed newworld for the time till level 35~ after that it got a bit to boring .
    the same is true for dark souls , it is fun if you play "blind" but if you watch boss-guides its gonna loose its flare 😀 .

    I personally would love if games arent shown to an extend where you already see so much of the games content ^^(i know it is also kinda risky in terms of scams xD).
