LEts go ahead and just straight up debunk your argument. you have no idea how much "free playtime" you will get. it changes all the time, and persistent isnt for a long time and who knows how much longer it will run after persistent hits. Also, acting like that playtime in which you are literally performing a job for the company is the same value as a completed game time sub is just straight up ludicrous and stupid.
I do agree that paying $120 is worth it because you’ll have a lot of playtime. but having people pay that much to only allow them to play the weekend at first is ridiculous. They should’ve started at five days a week from the get go .
people pay 120 to play alpha 2 you haven't played alpha2 because it is yet to be released
wait ashes will be a sub game? are you joking? hahahah well. that changes everything
this just became the lamest game ever
btw sick hairline brother
I work full time and play other games so I wont really play this enough to justify the price tag or help much with actual testing during Alpha2 and beyond.
Their monthly sub model is a big turn off especially since it is very slow progression and I wont be able to get my money's worth each month.
The game still has a long way to go from what I have seen so far. Its a pass for me
Game looks nice, but I m prefering GW2 (no monthly fee) – its nice, you can group with other players in the world and achive bigger goals rather than be scared of pvp ambush all time.
I did played WoW Classic in first release on PvP server and it was pain.
I want the game for chilling without stress, do collect herbs, killing few mobs 1 hour for 1 rare item …like, in my job I have a lot of stress, no need more it in another world.
Even WoW PvP retail servers have option, to turn off PvP (you cant attack to other players and be attacked out of nowhere) – to my honest opinion, its future of AoC, maybe not in alpha or beta, but on release, when world will be flooded by new players.
I want to play it but too expensive.
As an Archage player, I really want to play this, but paying 120$ for an alpha I have to think twice 🙂
Great vid 🙂 I agree it is worth it to buy it.
No game is worth 120 bucks. Fuck that!!! 😆
120 dollars for a super unfinished game with maybe 10% of the things it will have once it actually comes out is insane to me. The idea that you are saving money as this is going to be a sub to play game does not make sense as you aren't getting that much content. Don't waste your money, guys
Dude, of course is not worth it, what are you even talking about
I stopped when he said worth 120$
Liar
2 years of testing someone else s game for 120$. dont fall for this shit guys
$120 that crazy
man its so nice to listen to you speak about a game like this def not game for me tho but really good video maybe look at KCD2 as czech i have to recommend <3
I thought it was only access on the weekends.
man your voice is so soothing thanks i cant wait to get into the world and help give my feedback to make the game the best it can be. Great job on the video ❤
Hey Grapplr, these dedicated YouTube videos are really good. Would love to see more of this side of you where you are not constantly multitasking playing a game while interacting with and reacting to the chat.
Slower progression all the way. The mental milestones you make for yourself is an experience not just like older MMO's, but life too.
I don't know about "worth it" since it's all subjective but for me it is possibly. however, I'm starved for an MMO so maybe I may mostly because I'm indecisive and I've never played an old-school MMO like this before besides old WoW and ffxi, so I'd like to try out everything the game has to offer class wise and all of that prior to launch so I know what I want to do because I tend to become indecisive and do very little and redo things in the early parts of an MMO and then I burn myself out. I didn't with WoW classic when playing 3-4 characters at once and other games the same, but with alpha and beta I have tons of time. I think getting into just the beta is probably the "best" however I'm interested in playing probably a year before beta and it comes with a month sub and $15 store credit so I'm a bit more ok with it. They would probably charge $80 for beta anyways. I still feel like it should be a tad cheaper. Around the $90 range with the 1 month sub and store credit.
Absolutely amazing game, finally something to look forward to. Every single aspect in it appeals to me, and at last, the nostalgia for Lineage 2 will be fulfilled. Aoc will be best game ever weeee.
don't care about the mechanical gameplay, I want to hear about the sociopolitical tools. Can I hold meaningful titles? Represent and be accountable to other players? Teach a school of philosophy or religion? Hold involved custom community games? Organise and celebrate festivals? Incite a rebellion in a neighbouring power? These are the parts of an MMO <Role Playing> game that matter.
Haha 😄 nice to see Tams did a good job
Hi grapp, It’s rlly nice to see that ur replying to every single comment and all within a fast time as well, shows a lot of dedication and engagement with your fans. I started watching you a few years ago on lor, what’s ur plan going forward with the channel? Since lor pvp is pretty much dead
Bruh this game has been in development for over 8 years. You’re dumb af to pay for this failure being shilled by corny creators
"This answer is pretty straight forward"
Procceeds to respond with the most branched answer
Lineage players will play this till end of time
I’m shocked I haven’t heard more people making EQ and FFXI comparisons for ashes. It’s a slow burn social game. Some people love slow burns (like me – been playing classic FFXI forever at this point).
I've backed it in like 2019 or something, which got me this alpha key, a key to a game i forgot about after seeing the turtle pace. I've downloaded and launched it yesterday. It looks like a f*cking 2013 game, with 2013 animations. This is on an upgraded engine to Unreal 5. It took me back to my younger years, very nostalgic. Had to ALT + F4 tf out of it after using my ability twice. If this is what people are hyped about after playing/seeing the footage, god bless you all. I could find at least a hundred of other ways to better spend my time playing video games. I am convinced it'll either come out in 2030, or never. Don't know which scenario is more probable.
no quiver on archer ajajajai :/
looks like i will play it once released 🙂 sounds great
Great video! I just watched two of your vids and love them! Great work, do not let the Toxicnubs hinder you. rofl
As someone who has not put any money into this I thought this was a really good, even overview. I don't feel this game is for me but I didn't feel like you were selling anything. I think anyone who likes this game is within their rights to do so.
Ashes apologists are the poster children for copium addiction.
Where's the Developer log/Showcase that covers and details their progress on PvP and the systems designed to deter griefing???
Will alpha and beta run constantly until release or is it limited to certain dates?
LOL is it worth it review for an Alpha
$120 for 1.5-2 years free game time? That doesn't sound free. Value for money is the basis, not how long you can play something for. Because your theory would mean the cheapest game is the best value. If you want a real audience maybe provide some real perspective because you lost me 50 seconds in
Just to clarify the "rumor" about Intrepid Studios being bankrupt or having their franchise license suspended. Someone named GigaBear found some info regarding Intrepid Studios not making payments. Guess when this was? Back in 2020 and 2021 during COVID. The fact Intrepid Studios may have a lien against them didn't necessarily mean anything. Turns out, it didn't. Since the lien was put in place because of a loan, which is basically collateral. Anyways, the total amount of unpaid services by Intrepid Studios back then came to about $50,000. Yeah, that definitely crippled Steven, which is why he kept making the game and moving to UE5, lol.
GrappLr doing an AoC video? Unexpected. But maybe since LoR went the way it did, he moved content. I been out of touch when it comes to LoR creators for a while now since IO lost interest in what LoR became.
Except for the PvP, this sounds a LOT like Final Fantasy 11 back in the day and I gotta admit I'm curious.
When you say low drop rates on gear, that does kinda worry me. I don't mind having to work for great gear, provided we aren't talking sub-1% rates (something that drove me INSANE back then and still does, I hate when games disrespect my time) but I also need to know if this game does vertical or horizontal progression.
One of the biggest turn offs for me with modern MMOs is vertical progression, where gear is just a number for stats going up. Again, that's a huge part of why I played FFXI for a decade straight, because even some of the level 1 stuff was still valuable at level cap due to unique effects and there was a lot of fun trying to collect all the really busted items – something 14 has sworn off since 2.0 (and to this day my biggest gripe with it and Yoshida)
Two concerns I have … Add a mouse sensitivity setting and Mark the damn vendors .
This is answer is pretty straightforward and it really depends on 2 different fatcors….the first question is:blablabla Very much straightforward i see.
I was shocked when I read the Video Title, did a quick google and was relieved that the 120$ is for playtesters only.
Honestly speaking Grapp, I miss the time where every gamer has the name "Kirito" as their gamertags. That's how goated the concept of MMO SAO had, at least in the anime.
