Ashes of Creation is an open world MMORPG set in a fantasy environment where you can choose different classes and races to adventure through with your friends. Intrepid Studios is the developer behind the game. They’re technically an indie studio, but their creative director Steven Sharif has a clear vision for his video game: Massively Multiplayer Role Playing Game. He wants to put the massive back in MMO. Exploring dungeons, griding for gear, crafting armor/weapons, learning new spells, and competing in large scale PvP battles. High end PvE such as raids will mainly occur in the open world. Bosses will spawn and roam through the land. Are YOU ready to enter the world of Verra?

As long as the GM is good at playing Discord/Community manager their in game skill is irrelevant provided they know how to delegate down the chain. I think people highly underestimate how much time goes into community management.
For us, if leadership doesn’t have the skill to carry, they don’t make those teams. We like to point players in the direction which best suits their skill level, and desired goals. Not everyone gets a trophy even leadership.
Sounds like it comes down to finding others who fit your playstyle. Shouldn't be too hard to do in Ashes of Creation.
Kash liked one of your questions a lot….that last one though, not so much.
Great questions I agreed with some of the points made but not so much with others. Guilds are a team effort a good leader will recognize people around them who are best suited to different roles and use that skill/knowledge to the best advantage of the guild. Any GM who thinks they are going to do it all is either exceptional or more likely doomed to fail IMO.
Finding a guild is no easy task and honestly, you need to do some research into the guilds before just signing up. A guild has to be the right fit as explained by the guys you asked and once you join you really do need to make an effort to become part of a guild but in saying that it is a two-way street you do need to be met halfway by the guild and made to feel welcome.
My guild has a policy of low to no drama and it has worked well but then we are somewhat older than the average MMO player plus we have a policy of ingame on Discord even if you just sit in the AFK channel or listen to music. But for most of us, it is about jumping into Discord at the end of the day and just chilling or hooking into whatever guild event we have kicked off.
Guilds are the number one reason I love MMOs, well that and crafting. 😀
I love Kash and his responses throughout this whole series, I hope I run into him in Vera
My perception of a guild leader is definitely affected by their knowledge and skill level. I will respect them the same either way if they are friendly, but I'm much more likely to provide input if I don't trust their judgement
Ryve is my guild leader. He rules with an iron fist
it s not only game skills. it s people skills too.
say the tank and the healer start dating in real life. it crashes and burns. both WILL discuss it. How do you deal with it? will it cause the guild as a whole to implode? in a guild of any size there WILL be multiple personal issues.>> I have been a guild master so i know 🙂
The GM doesn't need to know how to do everyone's job, but he must have some kind of idea, and have officers that are subject mater experts in those things that he can lean on. When looking for a guild, its important to research like minded people, and people with similar goals…..I might not be the best healer in a guild, but i WILL find my nitch, i might be the best Alchemist or fisherman that the guild needs….Guilds are important, and the leader is the flag carrier that everyone rallies on.
The music bed in these interviews is not needed. Content is good, music bed distracts and isn't adding anything.
Seriously, every video you put out is well thought out. Every question tailored. It seems like nothing in your video is just fillers or fluff and I love it! Your content is honestly the best content out there man. It was a shame that PGN went off the deep end because I missed his in-depth coverage on topics but luckily, we have content creators like you with the same capabilities to deep dive on topics. Keep up the awesome work!
While I love the content of your videos and they are well put together, I absolutely hate the AI art that you use for your thumbnails. Putting the moral and ethical issues aside, it just looks bad and uncanny at best.
Absolute gem. I learned a few things for LFG when Ashes releases, thank you.
For Ashes more than any other MMO I think finding a cooperative guild will be the most important thing. Gathers supplying processors, processors supplying crafters, crafters supplying everyone with finished goods. Guilds that work together to gear the whole guild above personal profits I think will dominate in the long run.
before watching this i think a good Gm is just someone who knows how to bring others together. it’s really who’s the best community manager. they don’t need to be a raid lead they just need to be able to bring the right people together to run the right events. They also have to be pretty sociable.
Hey Burns! Love the video and can't wait for the next episode of Bespoke lol. One thing I expected to hear about that didn't come up because it's obvious is you need a guild leader to have a presence. Once an MMO starts to age, the leader must still show up regularly. I've been in guilds where they only show up for once-a-week raids, and it's always with the same group. It rapidly turns from a guild to a social group of 10 people.
Some people are not leaders… not in life or in game. its that simple.
Ive been a guild leader off and on over the last 20 years. I think those days are over for me now but ive made some life long friends over the years.
Anyone making a guild this early is foolish among other names Youtube doesn't allow. All those paypigs who bought into those super expensive packs are going to quit in 1-6 months and either absolutely terrible players or ultra tryhard's that ruin the games overall community.
