Thank you all for joining us today with our Events Update! As always, this system is a work in progress, as is our VFX and UI and reward tables. Let me know your thoughts about the event system. To reiterate, these help serve as a unique way to show players what types of progression is happening around them by pop-up events that reflect these other activities happening around the world. In bite-size and easily digestible content challenges for players to coop. Always love to hear your thoughts!

Absolutely brilliant stream, we also have our monthly livestream party's as a guild and every month they just keep getting better and better and i think everyone was more than happy with the 2024 alpha 2 and the progress you guy's are making at least we kind of know when to expect it. roll on next year keep cracking on and cant wait to see even more progress as the game develops and actually get in and test everything out.

Effects like the mages' shield could use an indication of how long it lasts from outsiders perspective. This gives more information in pvp while making it look better. Instead of just vanishing suddenly, fade it out, or make it slowly shatter or something. Just a small note.

The game has improved so much, it's incredible! The animations are much smoother, and the movement is much better. Also, can we talk about how clean that UI is !?! The world events are very well done , good job team! Feedback : I'd love for the named elite mobs to have a slightly more distinguised name plate.

@@joewickham2825why? those are reasonable points. but the game is still in development, so maybe it will be good. better give them good feedback now. combat wise i doubt that they will improve much though. especially for people who prefer action combat it will be disappointing. the majority of people prefer boring combat nowadays...look at baldurs gate3. its easier to play and easier to make. so i understand why they go the safe route. its just too difficult to make action combat fans happy, but its easy to make all the others happy. thats one of the first things you learn in gamedesign schools... "know who will play your game." horrible button smashing action combat works in games like black desert where the whole game resolves around hours of mindless grind. but a good designed action combat is too difficult to make. blade and soul had good action combat, but the rest wasnt properly build around it. neither the fans of mindless grind felt at home nor the people who enjoy good mechanics, because the combat was simply said too difficult for them. so i think ashes made the right decision to make it easy enough, but with a touch of action to feel different. not my type of combat, but most likely the right choice. i just hope it will feel decent enough to me to not drag the whole game down.

I was really happy to see the movements being more fluid, seem to have more joints and not so stiff. Event looks really fun to do especially since it turned into a quest chain.

I really like these kind of Event Systems because it brings People together! Works wonderfully in GW2.

Anyone working on the development of ashes of creation is truly talented and I admire their hard work! Wow you guys are awesome and the passion everyone has for the project makes me happy to be apart of this community. ❤

I really like the potential here. They could constantly be adding event types to sprinkle throughout the world, keeping any region evergreen, and gameplay varied.

I wish you went Guild Wars 2 way, where mounts are the best, each has a unique feeling when you ride them and a couple of abilities. Your mounts are like from World of Warcraft 20 years ago which I think is kind of a shame.

The game is shaping up to be awesome. Keep up the work looking forward to it.

As you develop story arcs, I would really love to see arcs that are truly hard to find and hidden within the world.Think GTA 5 Easter eggs but with a quest line or reward that has a benefit to keeping secret. Give us some truly unique and highly rare lines to follow through on.

For some people it might be nothing, but these world event are kind of a big things to me. If we think about the scale of your character and its environment + the POV your playing, encountering such event can actually makes your gaming experience on AoC far more dynamic, immersive, fun, and have a lot more replayability. I hope these events are not marked on the map, so we keep this kind of "surprise" when we see one. Great stream as always.

Chapeau ladies and gents. Well done, as per usual. Very excited to see the progress that keeps being accomplished.

I understand this is not the finished product and you're probably gonna do what I'm about to say anyway.....but imma still say it. That ball of lightning skill. Needs to fizzle out instead of just disappear. Just wanted to say that. It bothers me. Awesome work!

Im so in love with the direction this game is going. Please. Please for the love of all gamers, nerver be like blizzard and sell or do something where people can buy shares etc. Be true to yourself and enjoy all the love the gamers have to give. We getting milked so hard from World of Warcraft atm that all i can think about, is game-developers who really love their game and make us feel it. Love your game.

Loved the stream, loved this video. Can't wait to jump in and do my part!

every stream you guys pump it up a notch, maan I want to play this... glorious \m/

Great update as usual y'all!

World events bring new friendships. Great showcase 👏

The purple hue is astonishing

Looks great guys, gives me that GW2 feel that makes the world feel alive. Seasonal events, event quest chains etc. will really make the game feel alive as the development add more dynamic events. Having Static events get boring quickly Being able to create spawn closets and randomly mix the events throughout the biomes and nodes is great. Build a strong technical foundation from which content creators can add all kinds of random events. I really hope we get Mob variety both seasonal, regional, and biome locational. By having these events kick off is great. Have funny events where you have to find someone's pet pig that is lost for a little girl or boy in a town. Spawning side events are fun. At a bar someone sends you on a quest to find their drunken friends.

Why did killing 3 Spiders and 1 Bear trigger a Bandit Attack?

13:40 looks amazing! Will it be possible to put your team characters' names above them? I feel like I would get lost in the masses otherwise.

That's a really interesting system to create dynamic and have a breathing world, damn, I'm impressed. I know the events shown here are simple, just kill some monsters and gtg, but with that baseline, you can imagine a lot of things, world boss spawns, cool missions, or treasure hunting like events, etc.

lies SOME mmos might have that mechanic but it's not mainstream and it's not on the same level and scale@@drdestructo5509

When you jump from a certain altitude the character should kneel a little, need a landing animation ! :)

I hope the rewards scales higher for compensation of having events scale with dps since if the theory fits then all events would take around the same time no matter how strong you get, thus removing the reason of bringing in higher lvl gear

Really nice! Keep it up! Glad to see so much improvement. Looks fantàstic, and the idea of PvP being joined in that way as "world PvP" through events sounds solid. Needs to be tested and remains to be seen but I'd say it's a nice touch. Maybe some entire zones could be PvP story driven with some forts involved, etc. like endless wars.

I like the idea of choosing sides in event's and wonder if story arcs (in some capacity) would work similar. With some title rewards to highlight player activity/choices.

This project is taking forever!

Nice. Keep it going. Amazing work.

I can't wait to get hands-on. Also, I hope everyone at Intrepid is doing well. :)

i like the idea of moving AOE spells like that orb, where skilled tanks could kite a pack of mobs along side the spell multiplying it's effect duration. Encouraging party communication and tactics

Years ago I heard you guys planning on seperating the world in instances. Is this still the plan or do you now go for an seamless open world?

Can't wait to play this in the old age home xD

Are there any magic bags or storage rings that allow you to live in if you want. That allows you to have a personal farm, a forge, a library, an alchemy lab, warehouse, freezer, a armory or anything you want.

Enjoyed this one more than any others.

Question. Would you still automatically join event raid groups if you were corrupted? It seems like an easy way for a group of corrupted players working together to infultrate an event group of players so when the event is over, they can perform a PvP ambush.

Looking pretty impressive so far - gimme the alpha already ;)

Defo I will play this game! looks amazing!!

Looks awsome

yall are loving the word predicate rn

Re: Raid Group vs Original Group (just a thought) A specific PvP group might join an event, but benefit from joining or leaving the larger event party as a group. Having to leave the event group individually and then reform the original group takes time, which is "of the essence", especially in PvP. It might even discourage joining the event group (it would certainly give me pause). Perhaps an optional toggle when the original smaller group is formed? Great update, TY !

NICE, improving improving

does anybody know if we get a free trial when this game releases? maybe up to lv 10 or whatever feels reasonable. the game looks fine, but i am not sure about the combat. so i would like to see if it feels better than it looks before i spent my money.

Espero que tenha opções de cajados para a classe mago ou feiticeiro eu não achei legal a varinha 😅

Perfect update as always. I would suggest to put some items and loots with very low probability that can be surprising once you get it so that you are not like always getting only materials. Such rewards can make people to these events more.

Those ice effects need to be less blue/glowy, and more white/translucent. Would really help with visual noise.

I see the archeage vibes in the skills and animations, will be curious how it goes, definetly interested

i just hope the event has a conclusion most games it'd be like oh we saved em then you come back and they stand there and stuffs still on fire like they dont put fire out or fix up there thing or clean up would be awesome if that ends up being a thing to see more evolved status from events like you coem back and you see em have a lil shop or they moved etc

This game has great potential.this will be the best game of the next decade. It will be the spiritual successor of Star Citizen.

I love to see the progression, are there any plans to move away from the boring tab target system?

Looks great!

I'm slightly confused... these streams are labeled "Alpha Two", but as far as I can see Alpha 2 isn't active.... and the release schedule says spot testing TBA, and 2024 for full Alpha 2. It's been a long time and I can't be fully engaged for 5-6 years in following everything, but I am keen to start getting more involved, as I believe I should have Alpha 2 access, whatever that ends up being. Can anyone clarify?

To be honest, it's looking better and better.

Will you adapt this game for SteamDeck or is it too much for resources?

Can't wait to play it in 2031

Man the game is coming a long and looking great

Games looking good glad to see tab targeting. 😊

most anticipated feature for MMO game.

"Thank you!" +1 Wool

so cool

Come on Ashes!! Hoping to get in A2 test :)

I've always thought that the spell effects are a bit too opaque, you should make them slightly more transparent and have less volume (clarification: I don't mean the size and detail of them) cause 1. They look a bit cartoony and 2. It's going to be hard to see mechanic indicators if you do a raid and so on, or if there's a lot of people. Take notice of how the effects look in Black Desert for example and apply something similar.

The UI is looking pretty cool in my opinion! Can't wait to see the project move from alpha to beta.

Finally MMO that is multi player that is not only a name... finally game where you can enjoy playing together. Can't wait , looks better each video you upload :)

I keep saying it... Quality over quantity.. Increase those animations to make combat more strategic and involved and you will have a winner. Content pacing is extremely important!

Real MMORPG open world events that encourage group mechanics & rewards love it!!

Love how the event difficulty increases based on how many people are participating. Nothing broke my immersion in ESO more than when a supposed world ending Dragon gets stomped in under 1 minute by 100 people.

This whole system looks amazing, i was wondering if the group/raid leader be able to "mark" targets for the dps to focus on?

What's going on with mobs at a distance stuttering as they run, is that a recording artifact or something going on in the game?

How the reward structure going to look like for failed events esp in those two faction events? Do you still get more/better things if it's scaled up? Given player nature most of them going to join for easy rewards rather than fun (pvp).

I'm looking forward to play this game in 2050 when it releases.

They do like no damage against seemingly simple enemies.

As much as I am frustrated with how slow this game is comming up, this looked amazing.

Love it, can't wait to finally play it. If the event is over will the burning caravan at some point go away or will it burn there forever? What is going on with the animations? The horse is moving into itself while breathing. The metal plate chest is made out of rubber? I am not someone to pay attention to something like that, but even I noticed it...

Those spider movements look janky AF, hopefully gets sorted before release as it was kind of immersion breaking
