If Ashes of Creation pulls off what they are planning I’m going to go ham on this game.
Hoping they can accomplish their goals and keep developing this thing to where they want it.

Sounds like the dark brotherhood
Hey Thor, you mentioned you used to play EVE Online. Is there a reason you stopped playing? What's the story there.
Damn, seems like a crazy and fun idea. Hopefully it works out as it sounds like it'd be fun to watch. Though i'd be worried for smaller groups just having the server taken over and leaving depending on what the size of the server's will be and being unable to do anything. After all if the entire server just turns into one guild pretty much what's the point of a spy part of it if there's no one to spy against.
You have too much people for this game. Guild size is by design, they want to give small guilds a chance to be impactful and have things to do.
I have Alpha 2 access so I will see you there.
Ex Goonswarm here, I see that you've got those who weren't around for EVE :p. Not to knock on the enthusiasm but I don't see it ever happening, we (who played it then) should know why the most ;]. For what it's worth, looking forward to enjoying this with you lot
Dont think Steven is going to budge off the 300. Especially since its only 10k online at a time, but there is limit of 50k per server assigned.
I’m hoping to main ashes and everything they show seems amazing in theory, so hopefully it works out when in players hands. Your guild sounds like one I would like to be in but also guilds of this size seem problematic for server life, to where it becomes just a pve game
I hate games with small guilds, just let people do what they want. Being part of a big guild allows for people to join and still play "solo" if they want. In a big guild there is always something going on, people are going out looking for fights, doing trade runs, dungeons, treasure hunting, fishing, events, world bosses, spontaneous battles with rivals, etc. You can just join whatever you want when you want or not. There's no pressure for you to be somewhere because the guild is big enough, the arbitrary caps to guilds ALWAYS kill sandbox mmos imo.
On this day, the Third day of August in the Year of Our Lord 2024, a new nation was born, one to rule all others.
This all sounds fun, but if youre constantly on the losing side (for whatever reasons, e.g. chosen a weaker guild). I fear this will end up like WoW PVP Servers. 99% Horde and 1% Alliance. I know its a bit more complex than that, but the thing is, you wont have fun if you never win. I wonder how the devs will regulate this, so it doesnt turn out this way, but thats the main reason I am not considering to buy this game right now.
If guilds are anywhere remotely the size of EVE's , I won't be playing .
Guilds of up to 15… THOUSAND?!?! What in the ACTUAL F***? I’ve heard of a couple hundred ppl before but that’s just in-SANE!!
Really curious to see your take on Pax Dei
Bro a Thor vs Asmongold clan war would be legendary
Cool. So i DEFINITELY wont be playing this game.
What if you overly centralize a guild structure? Consider a scenario where in one game, a guild is an expansive entity with a vast player cap. However, in Ashes of Creation, a guild operates more like a confederation of smaller guilds. In this context, a nationwide guild would function as a coalition composed of multiple smaller guilds.
I miss dust 514 for the horrible mess it was. You know you know.
Thor you might be European. you should promote the European citizens imitative to stop killing games. Accursed films already did a video about it, same goes for anyone seeing this comment please look into it
Ashes will never launch. Its like star citizens younger brother.
He makes a good point, why limit guild sizes in any MMO? If they make guilds have like a soft cap (perhaps some minor penalties for MASSIVE groups, like upwards of 10000 players, and just scale it) I don't see there being any issues.
LMFAO I do the same stuff in a few other games, its vertical integration combined with horizontal expansion, it is shockingly effective and fun to do
In other words, you made an adventurers guild.
Also, to solve the guild size problem you can just make more guilds.
WIND AND WEALTH
Love this, please talk more AoC as you learn / play it. I will 100% be on the Pirate server even if I don't play in the guild. Community drive like this is what actually makes mmos fun. Thank you Thor!
Fantasy Star Citizen. Take that statement as you wish.
As someone that's always been super keen on crafting, I'm very keen for AoC. Don't get me wrong I've loved playing combat in games, but I fully anticipate spending a lot of time relaxing but putting work into developing and creating sick gear at the highest level (assuming that's still going to be a doable way of getting top tier stuff)
no no no no no no no, as an Arena player, if me and my buddy can kick you and your buddies ass the town is OURS, having 5000000000 players with you is LAAAAME. The game better focus on small scale combat and good dueling or its trash on release. its about me slicing through you the same way I do in WOW, I'm going to destroy you and make pvp miserable the SAME exact way I do in WOW every time you try and quit its cause I beat your ass. Ill be in Ashes making sure the same thing happens.
yeah this is why nobody can make an mmo anymore
I wanna be part of your guild, for sure you are a smart leader, and considering in this game you will need a lot of good decision making to stand up in a ONE REALM server, i think your idea is great. Hopefully you will allow your twitch and yt followers to join 😀
Seems you want to make multiple guilds for each section so you can get the most of the Guild Tree for those players
I love it. I am willing to play this game with organizations like yours in play. I am not a pvp person. For some reason I could never get the proficiencies to be good. Twitch based FPS I am decent but mmorpgs I am a horrid player. I prefer to be a craft/farmer player.
Here i thought I was gonna log in on day 1 of launch. Create my Guild in Ashes of Creation, and Rise to the top. This MFer made his entire guild, a system for the guild, government for the guild, and players for his guild years before release. I humbly tap out.
Waaaaaaaaaa amazing.
I think ashes of creation is cooking too much. I fear it will be a New World and everyone will drop out soon because of everyone focusing on late game content.
I was hyped for the game until I saw their combat system. Was hoping for an action based combat system rather than wow styled
@Pirate Software
What is your opinion on the subscription model for games?
You simply cannot sustain a guild of this size in Ashes without turning your server into a PvE server.
I disagree with the increase in guild sizes for the same reasons a lot of others disagree in the comments. Also imo as soon as devs start catering towards streamers/content creators the game will spiral towards the garbage can and I think mostly streamers will have these huge amount of people wanting to be in their guild and to take over whole servers with their numbers ruining the server influence of "normal" players/guilds or just simply devouring them. I love to see that Thor is so enthusiastic about AOC but I think his suggestion about guild sizes is over the top and will cause harm to the game if implemented.
just gotta have sister guilds then
there are already a few things i am worried about with ashes, but if mega guilds become a thing i am definitely just going to pass on it, massive zergs just ruin the fun for me.
