Interesting system, though I worry with today's gamer mentality everyone will just flock under a single note, avoiding conflicts. Hopefully there's some kind of limited resource mechanic to prevent this.
Nodes remind me of Ultima Online (from years and years ago). There were several different servers and each main city area would be decorated differently by that server's GMs and when they had server wide events not all servers would succeed at completing them. It was really cool.
Should make a really dynamic world. My hopes are that maybe smaller nodes and guilds will band together, to take out larger nodes. And the fact quests and possibly world bosses and such are affected by nodes would mean that to get the rare high end crafting materials or an epic loot drop that is in control of a node that you would have to take over or reduce the size of would really motivate players to attack these larger nodes as well. This would also make for alliances and even a form politics on a server for a true feel of a community.
I remember this area back when it was still a dirt road and tree's draped over it, now its all strip malls with nail salons and tanning booths every 5 miles…
I can already see how this plays out. 1. Some of the players are going to support just 1 node because this minimize the risk of losing their in-game investment. 2. Most of the players will just stick with pre-created cities and not bother with the node system at all.
What I am really interested in is the crafting system. Steven is said to be going hard on that, crafting will be very important in Ashes of Creation. There will likely be a lot of freedom with crafting which means the possibilities of what you can craft in terms of weapons and armor could be limitless. Of course, there will be some limits to not make too crazy but it will interesting because maybe you can make custom orders for crafters for how you want your armor or weapons to look along with what kind of stats you want. Steven said they are still doing testing on this but an 'item creation suite' has been discussed as a future possibility, which means essentially a character creation suite for crafters to really determine the look and aesthetic of what they craft.
Good luck with your poor 5 members Guild when 400 members of a German and Brit community will join the same server and will rush the game and will Gank you every sec Remember it's an Open World PvP without any restriction !

Let’s go!
This is super interesting
Howdy Wolf. Be interesting to see if this pans out.
Do game mechanics like this really work for anyone not able to play 24/7?
Wolfy, it's going to be more complicated than the DAI's war table LOL
Best out-tro so far, Wolf. 😎

Loving your content wolf. You have a great narration voice and do a good job of explaining things
I feel like this game sounds amazing until bots ruin it. There system is ripe for bots F ing everything, for everyone.
Funny to see the node upgrade to `Tent` status. From living in a tree I suppose?
I read this as noodles somehow, maybe it is lunch time.
As a metal singer, you must have some experience with nodes

God stuff man! Thanks! You are the best by far on Youtube with lorevideos.. Can you please consider to do some more for Bg3? Please? 🙏
Thank you for keeping us updated, great video as always!
This game looks so much fun but unfortunately I don't play PC and not about to start now I'm just hope they come out for counsel I know I know
This dude is awesome, love your content man!
9:30 deleveling is dangerous mechanic which will push people to "no-life" behaviours…
gaming should still be for fun not for duty.
Love your videos mate, keep it up.

Military node reduces curruption time? Well this is something new for me. I wonder for how long.

Man, your Videos about this game are the best! Keep it up! Will you create a guild if the game starts? Would join it!

2. Most of the players will just stick with pre-created cities and not bother with the node system at all.
If there will be workers also this is slowly turning into BDO. And you do realize that a guild can control this entire game if they play it smart !

Node and Housing
will ruin this game for sure :
– Cities ruler
– Lame Farmer
– First arrive , best place

Just moved to to the PC master race community from the xbox and this was one of the games I'm most excited for cant wait to be able to play this game.
