Seeing people jankily climbing trees for real made me excited. They should lean harder into the traversal and movement. Ranger should have a rope line it can shoot across gaps, better animations for climbing trees. Just basic physics-based traversal shenanigans. Playing around with boats and harpoons in archage was fun as hell.

Damn, Ranger kit is sooooo gooooood. AoC is introducing some mechanics I've never known before in other MMOs. The only thing I'm really concern of with live service games like this is latency and potential rubberbanding. Hope the game will be well-optimized and they don't skimp on server infra.

is there a feature of something that when casting a spell or anything you can stand still or either run but when standing still you have faster casts and slows casting when moving? and if the player has higher mastery over the spell or the class it can negates that slow cast when moving or maybe have higher cast speed? because this would be a cool feature to add for spellcasters

I prefer to play a game of timing my mitigation abilities to prevent dying in rough situations while still dealing meaningful dps and keeping up buffs/debuffs, even if it's less than a proper damage dealer. It is also not fun for damage dealers if they are capped and deemed to afk because the Tank is a weaker player or learning the game and constantly struggles with keeping the mobs

i see archeage and bdo in this combat The archer/ranged auto attack is the same in archeage animation too looks really similar. I do live this

This whole showcase was a step closer to archeages combat and thats really good to see considering how heavily archeage has inspired ashes. Disengage and omnidirectional disengage is just backdrop with the ancestral version of backdrop that makes it go forward instead of backward. Leaning into enabling more of a kiting playstyle is also very reminiscent of that game and its exactly what i hoped to see them do. Even having to flip your camera to use the skill aggressively was something people did before the ancestral was introduced and still did since it was a menu option that just made you pick one. In this way their approach is more intuitive and thats really good to see. However, snipe in archeage did pierce/do AOE raid dmg and id prefer that here as well

from a previous stream, I saw that the wind power was a slider that they cranked up. I think they believe that lots of wind is cool because it shows all the cape physics and whatnot. I do understand that some people would find that offputting but I think that would be very easily adjustable since they even have a slider for it.

I don’t get the hate for this game. You can tell they are putting everything they have into making a great mmo

Its endgame plan will fail. Despite the fact that other MMOs in the past have fallen into similar traps, they wish to fall in the same pitfall. So yeah, too bad all that hard work will get wasted since people will abandon it in less than a month.

A lot of "brand loyalists" afraid that it is going to take away their favorite dead mmo's audience. Tale as old as time.

I think its better if they take the time to create a good game rather than rush it. It sucks waiting, but I would rather wait and have a masterpiece (or something well put together) instead of dog water gameplay and half ass game systems.

Imagine bosses has roaring mechanics that pralayze players in similar fashion to monster hunter. but as a tank you roar skill to taunt the monster, and if you time it just right when the monster roars you can cancel his roar and debuff (like he got scared or something).

Those skill trees remind me of Turf Battles skills

The weapon combos, and a seperate skill tree for weapons only, is exactly like DCUO. That game was WAY ahead of its time.

Well people building this games are old mmorpg players so they are bringing some spicy elements that got lost in time

Is there something for Asmon with Ashes of Creation? Any kind of deal? because he's constantly advertising it and the game is average at best....I don't understand the enthusiasm

Average is generous. I would bet money that this game either never releases or is Mixed/Mostly Negative within a few months of launch.

It looks terrible, but then all the fan boys say "ITS JUST ALPHA" I mean yeah it is just alpha... and maybe in 5-10 years it will actually look good. But everything we have actually seen is terrible. I have no reason to believe a bunch of hopes and dreams of greatness we need to actually see it.

It’s an mmo made by a very passionate group and is made in a style that appeals to asmon and he looks forward to playing. I don’t see how it’s that odd.

The more videos I see about this game, the less I wanna play it. Is that weird? Or is that just the effect of over a decade of garbage games being tossed at us with nonstop monetization ?

Ranger is reminding me a lot of archer from black desert, which is a good thing because that is by far the best ranger/archer class I've played in any mmo.

I have to say that a lot of the skill icons for ranger look suspiciously similar to the ranger skill icons from the original Guild Wars.

My dream game is this, with the option of single player world or party play, and a multiplayer overworld. It would be like Valheim, but with a storytelling like BG3, and hopefully a great crafting system that's like New World, with the feel of Runescape.

52:13 Best moment ever! even my cat fell off while watching me dying on flor xD

Reminds me a lot of Guild Wars 2, in a good way.

Listening to steven talk in this update really sounds like he believes in the same type of game development philosophy that larian studios believes in

the ability complexity looks like it could be reminiscent of guild wars 1. Which i have not seen a game like that since.

I wonder if you can cast a trap while in the air like that

The lighting defiantly needs some work. @14:00 it's hard to discern the player sprite from the color in the snowy rock in the mid foreground. It, as a whole looks amazing! I'm LOVING the Dragon Age Inquisition vibes! That game had me rolling along for a couple hundred hours!

The movement animations still look a bit stiff and sped up. I hope that gets some more polish too, like the combat animations have

I remember Cabal Online with the combo mechanic..

Asmon you need to react to the last months and the one before it too. The last month's one was quite good

Wondering if alpha 2 will be the final before beta.. considering that it will be HUGE jump compared to alpha 1.

Ive never really played MMORPG games before but hearing about this game and looking into it has made me SUPER excited to try this game, ANNNNDDDDDD i hope the people i end up playing it with can eventually be a BUNCH of shadowmancers so we can en mass summon a BUNCH of shadow creatures all at once lolol

I'm surprised they're still at it and actually show proof of game play. However, I still wonder about it becoming a MMO with those taxing systems on the UE system. There has to be a solution that kinda sucks for players. But still, I was sceptic day 1 and kept that way until I delved into it again. It gives a sliver of hope.

the speculars and the lighting its need improvment for sure

Crossing fingers that this one works out. 👍. Ty.

The first scenery shot reminded me of Ghost of Tsushima. That's an immediate plus.

I wasn't super interested in this game, I'd seen some negative press from some youtubers regarding it, but this showcase and Asmon's enthusiasm has me tentatively excited for it. I hope the showcases only get better going forward.

I agree they are headed in an enjoyable game play direction.

Damn, Ranger looks awesome. Combat is really shaping up man.

at 1:15:15 ngl, i hope intrepid studio becomes the next larian studio in that they turn out bangers that does not scam the playerbase, but we'll see

Did anyone else take notice when he was talking about marks he didn't jump onto the terrain. He climbed onto it... climbing and vaulting might be a thing. Love climbing on things I'm not supposed to in game.

I made the pre-order the 23/12/18 and up till now they only offered things to buy and I have had enough.... when will be the game ready to play? It starts to be a bit obsolete already!

NGL the way the rocks are spread out kinda bother me cause there is a lack there of

Imagine how badass it would be if a Snipe is 4 sec channel, but during those 4 sec you're still popping buffs and debuffs.

Im excited for this but worry that by the time its ready itll feel "old"

This looks like it feels like GW1, so I'm tentatively interested.

Asmondbald's stream lmao that has me dying
