Thanks to @VlhadusGaming for the voiceover in the beginning.
Check out @YaBoiWilly for NW shoutcasts.
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?

Great video, man. Really hope AGS wake up and fix the war mode. Hopefully Ashes takes from NW's failure and adds an instanced cross-server GvG mode for their wars. Frequency and Accessibility has to be #1 priority, IMO.
Brought back some of my old war memories with the footage too. Being in the discord with all the homies after a win is one of the best feelings in any game.
Im not sure I like this idea honestly. I think I'd rather them not be instanced. Makes them really mean something and are something you really have to work towards.
Great vid as always and welcome to the 701!
It's hard to say what will become of the project in the future. But it's looking like a failure so far
It might be healthier for the game to call it a "Practice Mode" so people don't expect rewards, and then it doesn't pull people away from the open world.
The negative loop where only people who have done several castle sieges before can be competitive in a castle siege could be easily broken with your suggestion, and will definitely make the game much better long term for everyone.
It might be a separate good idea for this to be a specialty of max level combat nodes. This means that when unlocked, even a level 1 player can go there, but they have to physically travel there. This also brings a similar level of reward as the academic node's teleportation. (And in game lore for why they are powerful enough to open portals to temporary dimensions – they just use portal technology for fighting, not the convenience of transportation).
excelent video mate 10/10
Great vid! Do you think we will get a big reveal today? I'm hoping so….who knows….
You're confusing Battlegrounds and Arenas, with Castle Sieges.
Castles Sieges are GUILD CONTENT. Node Sieges are General Population content.
I like the idea of instanced castle sieges in the game. Constantly available instanced PvP as you propose WOULD kill the game. Nobody would do anything else. Once 50 and geared then guilds wont feel the need to be involved in the actual game, just like pure arena and outpost players in NW.
LAMASSSSSSS!!!!
I think this a really solid solution to what I think could be a real problem for Ashes, the time gating. People decide in hours let alone weeks/days/months if they like something, and I get Ashes isn't going to be for everyone but waiting real time days for your reward from successfully completing a caravan run is pretty rough. City buildings taking days makes more sense but is another time gate, there are many more.
Great video, I hope it blows up and a lot of people cover this. We'll figure a lot of things out in the Alpha 2, hopefully this is one of them.
Excellent video, as always. Thank you.
I trust/hope there will be an EU server as well. That's usually the best option for playing from South Africa.
I’m against instancing any kind of content besides the story bits Intrepid pointed at. Open world is a core pilar of the game, and content gating is a part of it, just like a merchant is gated from caravans by the risk factor PVPers will be gated out of castle sieges unless they own a castle or are part of a mercenary guild
Besides, wanting instanced stuff is kinda wow brain.
Great video, good info, thank you ! . But if talking about mmo sieges, best i ever know is Lineage2 castle sieges, anyone can join, get fun, no limits and so on for many many years . Yes New L2 is p2w bots game, but "Classic L2" h5 still very alive on private servers, just look at numbers 😉
I love your Content! You have always smart Ideas and you fulfill the need of future Players like me to get to know about the Details and because of you I get and will get a better understanding about the small Systems and Tricks. The only Thing I don´t like is that i will not be able to play with you because I live in the EU 🙂 but well maybe for the good so I can´t get wrecked by your future Guild?! LoL
Keep on going brother! Much Love.
Very nice vid 💯
