The scale of the characters are weird. It is more evident in other gameplays. But, check out 2:54 . The tallest flower in the foreground is as tall as the character's torso, who, in perspective, is ahead of the group of flowers.
up
Animations have come a long way. They are finally to a point where that isn’t concerning to me anymore. I think content is what they need to start showcasing now.
Wait.. Alpha?? Has this game not been in development for like 4-5 years already? And its still only alpha? I give up..
The main thing that gets me excited about this game is the archetype system. And more so someone who loves the Warrior/Bruiser/Fighter in MMOS, I've been gritting my teeth waiting for those Fighter skills, I know I'll probably end up maining it but I'm just dying to see their take on it when we've just seen the tank abilities which were pretty bad ass but alot of skills are very similar to what you'd find in a typical Fighter style class.
I just except offensively speaking, the Fighter has to be that much more ferocious and explosive/quick for identity purposes. They've been quoted as saying Fighters are going to include alot of closing the gap mechanics, and mobility so that's promising.
Will you be doing a Frozen Flame update? It seems like it'll be releasing, at least into EA, soon.
Wow killer I can feel it!
Kira wasn't kidding when he said the characters do not look like they belong in the world, and vice versa. I think it's because of the character art style, the environment feels like the typical eastern MMO (Archeage, Lineage2, you name it) while the character feels more westernized. It's like seeing a WOW character running around in BDO world.
10:40 – i''d recommend explaining exactly what you're talking about, perhaps devs are watching
I think they need to slow down the combat. Looks too fast and sloppy. Slowing down with longer animations to cast spells / evade / etc.
Need a new mmo to gtf away from black desert. that game is a wallet eating monster.
I don't know man. The game looks interesting but also doesn't for me. Looks a lot like ESO for me for some reason.
I'm really not sold on the combat. I was expecting they went full action combat like when they did those battle royal tests. But every time I see combat in this game I can't really get too excited. Doesn't look very fluid or dynamic and the mixture between tab targetting and action is hard to pull off.
Might be an unpopular opinion but so far I'm not seeing much charm in this game. :/
I think i know why the characters don't seem to belong. One thing it's all the model's movement on the ground. It looks like they're not in "sync" while moving. Another thing is that the models seem to be floating a little and hlthey are not rooted to the ground. Another thing about the combat is all that floating while casting some spells. It just doesn't fit. I hope they address all these things but it doesn't look like anyone told them about these issues.
Algorithm food. Video was nummy. Push to moar peeps.
idky but im more excited for new world atm
Worst case scenario for AoC is that it ends up like ESO: Big beautiful, interesting world with terrible combat… we all know combat is the core of all these games, so that'd be a bummer.
When’s this game coming out?
Will there be heteromorphic races like undead?
I hear you on the siege loot stuff, Kira. I think what you propose is still doable, within the system presently proposed by Ashes. Defenders can't loot their own holdings, after a successful siege. But, after the siege is over, there's nothing stopping the defenders from rallying, and striking at the attackers while they scurry off with the loots. Unless there's something I'm missing.
fck this game to be honest. The pay to win will be strong here.
taking too long.
still there is the issue of invisible sheathed weapons
you can attack everyone in the map ? and to not attack you need to make a party? well im a pve person, this gonna be hard ahah
I hope this game makes it to the end
the progress is just insane cant wait to play this game
looks like trash tbh
Mages look slow as tell, telegraph their casts, and no cc that i can see. Guess I'm going melee in this game.
I'm glad you noticed the weird behavior of Steven in the gameplay video. I've been noticing more and more that the guy doesn't really play like the veteran MMO player he claims to be. He then goes on to seemingly confirm that he's not the best at playing MMOs, even going as far as saying that he's more like what a "coach" is to a sports team. I feel like he's just someone that saw MMORPGs as a lucrative financial investment and figured he's toss money at one and direct people as to what he thinks would make them great. I've seen a lot of true veteran players, many of which I know personally, comment on combat and how mixing action and tab-targeting isn't a great idea. Steven would essentially just shoot the comment down saying that "he" thinks it'll work, though he has no experience in developing an MMO.
As someone that develops MMORPG technology for a living, and that has worked for many companies in the past designing MMO systems, I have to say that just playing MMORPGs isn't enough to qualify you for designing one. For example, in games like Tera Online, the game uses intranet technology to facilitate rapid data transfers for real-time combat and has to have uniquely large hitboxes and data recording to retroactively compensate for real-time hit-registration. Tab-targeting systems use a completely different architecture and trying to bounce between both of them is going to be a server infrastructure nightmare. I feel this game needs an experienced Game Director before things end up going sideways.
Might I just point out – This is perhaps the best dev team I've ever seen. They're genuinely listening to feedback and trying their best to make this a successful game. I respect this company 100%.
Edit: I also love how they interact with their community.
They should Increase Damage numbers.
Fingers cross.
People should reign in thier expectations. So many of yall in the comments are hailing this as the savior, youre all setting yourselves up here. This looks incredibly …… average. It looks like a game for sure
I really hope they keep out as much "sandbox" as possible. Most Sandbox games fail, and I don't think people in general are ready for a full sandbox game. Even if they ripped off WoW with newer content I think most people would be happy. Something even more than that would be great, but WoW sadly is the marker for the genre if your game will survive these days. You do need content like Dungeons and Raids and good PVP. That's just how it is with the current state of MMO's IMO
Those damage texts gettin on my nerves for some reason… It's looks like ripped from Runes of Magic or something lol. Besides; overall, game looks great on many aspects.
I'm so excited for ashes of creation
