We had so much fun partying up to defeat Tumok, one of our first open-world raids that players will experience in the Riverlands which is intended as a low-level introduction to raiding! We hope that our Glorious Ashes of Creation community enjoyed the update, and we are very excited to read your feedback on what you enjoyed about the cyclops fight, and what mechanics you would like to see included in future Verran boss fights! Thanks for supporting our development! 🤗💕

I would love to see more mechanics like the tree trunk for world bosses, maybe something like an egg for the sea boss that spawns insane amounts of piranha if you don't destroy them within a certain time limit. Things that force you to split your teams actions and communicate while also watching out for poaching guilds. Specifically bosses designed for PvX would be incredible where you can use the boss mechanics to attack an opposing guild.

Would love for there to be evidence of the fight after the fact. Perhaps later on other folks find small craters and boulders/rubble from the cyclops smashing the ground. Maybe when the tree is shattered it scatters seeds that give unique harvesting opportunities later on that week. Things like that would be interesting. Let’s see some consequences from the fight! ;-)

Also, it would have been pretty awesome to see the cyclops get hungry and run over and snatch up one of those spiders and start devouring it while it tried to fight him off in vain…. I could see it wandering through freeholds wreaking havoc on people’s farms and livestock causing them to hire other people to take it on. Just a thought.

So pleased to hear this idea getting expanded into other fields and disciplines 😊

Combat is looking good, can't wait to test it in Alpha 2! Loved the sun peeking in and out with the clouds at the start of the Cyclops fight!

Updated spell effect on the blizzard spell looks amazing. The boss, encounter, and group combat all looked outstanding. Kudos to everyone.

You guys have done such an amazing job of making this feel like a real world with a fantasy that just makes sense. The territorial neutral monsters that aren't aggressive but will defend themselves and take threatening stances really sells the world as a place with real ecosystems that are there to be more than just "another mob zone to slay in". These little touches of detail the team has been putting in like the lightning spell interacting *around* the environment from the mage showcase, the spiders from this and the fact that Tumok will obliterate the tiny trees in his way were all things you guys didn't *have* to do, but really set you guys on another level from other development studios. I've been watching you guys for quite a while now and I just want you guys to know that you're really knocking this game out of the park.

Thanks for answering my question about travel distractions!

so excited for this

Starwars Galaxies was an amazing open world sandbox experience, even some of the wandering massive mobs felt like bosses. When they added instance dungeons to swg a large part of its soul was lost and people just stood in Tat looking for groups to get the set gear. Im really hoping that the 20% dungeon referenced in this video wont gimp the over world farming or crafters. Solid video, looking forward to trying out a tank in this game but I could not help to notice that the melee dps spent a large portion of time chasing the boss or what looked like using a dodge roll towards it. Hopefully there is actually some melee dps movement skills to help on bosses that want to use a lot of the terrain.

I was impressed with the sound effects! Really sold how big of a threat this Cyclops was.

This is looking awesome!

You guys are really doing great work with the development of this game. We are so fucking ready for it. A real fully fleshed out mmorpg. Havent seen that in over a decade

I noticed some of the GM's playing fighters and using 2h swords all rested them on their shoulder in an idle stance. It just looked odd since there is so much else to customize your character. I'd love to see some way to customize idle stances/poses and maybe even change where you sheathe your weapon (back or hip for example) or how you hold your weapon. I've seen some MMO's try this out with the stances where it costs in-game currency and I loved it.

Love the immersion touches to the game, how stuff acts is just as important as how they look. If you want a game that does mob interaction really really well, see V Rising

What I liked about the boss encounter: it wasn't just slam and charge, I like the idea of "calling upon spirits" - I don't know if its in the works (or if the Cyclops is intended to have a voice at all) but it would be insane if after the main weapon is destroyed, he yells out in his "native tongue" or some appropriate toned english in anger, calling for spirits to help him out. These kinds of details would be sweet and would massively improve the immersion of this kind of fight. Maybe he looses the main weapon and there are some sprinkled fallen trees along his pathing so that if you're able to destroy the tree and he is within reach of a fallen tree, he could go up to that and use that as a weapon (less powerful but some extra mechanics) with the whole idea of this being that tanks have to keep him out of range or have to taunt in the right moment when he gives a visual+audio que. So you might have a tank and an off tank, in this situation he slams the main tank away from him (or grabs him and throws him would just be incredible - out of taunt range) and the off-tank has to be on his toes taking controll of the boss. Another idea is that when he implants the tree into the ground, there is a chance that you might get stunned with roots "around your ankles" and someone has to free you out of that. On details: if its the winter season, it would be nice if there was some snow on that huge tree weapon. I'm not too hot on the ice magic effects personally, the blizzard with the clouds of overly bright "aqua" colour, don't know, maybe its just me but it doesn't seem to fit too well. The green spell effects from the rangers are way too much imo, they're more pronounced than actuall magic mage effects. The constant reaplying of that blue buff that falls down on you takes way too much of the screen way too often, I'm not sure if thats just someone reapplying buffs constantly, or if thats by design necessary - if its by design, its too much. The UI looks so clean and thats fantastic, looks like there will be alot of room for customization, its just great, I love it, fits the game really really well. On the combat, its not looking great, it doesn't look like there is too much active dodging going on to be honest, in fact it looks like you can face tank most of it. I really hope it doesn't become a rooted in place, button-rotation game because that would kill it for me.

I like many of your suggested mechanics. I was super surprised when his charge simply knocked stephen down. Especially when it didn't seem like the cyclops had any mechanics that punished players for being knocked down (they were probably there but I couldn't tell). I think something simple like rolling his tree around then charging after it is a great idea! It is somewhat telegraphed but it would be a big aoe to keep track of, plus it has the secondary charge afterward. I would especially like this if he had some sort of aoe rooting attack that he uses beforehand. In short I think I'd like fewer, but more readable and impactful attacks for a world boss.

I like Turmok's pacing. It's not too slow but enough to feel menacing.

Great, great, wonderful work! If I could, I would support you financially, but right now I can only support you mentally, and through KZread. Still great work, I can't wait to play Ashes of Creation which will undeniably be the best MMORPG when it comes out ❤

George the cat clearly stole the show....definitely the MVP of this update!

Until Alpha 2, that beautiful cat in the background is my favorite part of the game. :o So flOOfy, needs pets.

Awesome, looking forward to the next update. - would like to see the spider moving back and forth as if and maybe even firing warning web shots even entangling, what about spider younglings dropping from the trees. - like the mob size aspect on this, would like to see him using his other hand to push trees out of his path too. - encounter : seems that the location was more or less the cyclops "area" home so to speak, it would be cool for him to be a bit stronger at this location and also maybe he sets his tree totem up as he relaxes at this location and kicks back from his journey during the day. at this point he could be foraging mushrooms that his totem spawns. - at the point of actual engagement he would engage but getting his tree for a weapon is his goal to smash the party. - I assume with his general size that you would just naturally take damage if he just walks over/ on you. - Love the "Tree Stomp" and "tree swing" think the tanks should be kicked back much further. Also think he should throw the tree and letting it roll all over everyone and charge to retrieve it. - With out tree combat WWE WrestleMania , the peoples elbow! jump attack, jump kick the rock formation over onto players, grab surrounding trees & rocks and use them in fun ways. - Ice Shards aoe not sure if this is just a updated spell effect or due to level of character but liked the update on the spell. - with the spells, they all hit the same spot would like to see variance here, not everything is a perfect hit, maybe it could be set up base on % of mob height vs damage output ( critical hit = head shot, weak hit = appendages, misses = WTF are you casting at! ) - love the new armor garbs show cased TAMNT !

for terrifying and scary big mob/boss fights animation/audio reference, check out Tera. also consider having hard large elite open world mobs (2-5man group) thruout the world like classic tera has. opens up oportunities for more group quests, repeatable grinds, dangerous subzones with rare materials drops/gathering or whatever. great for random grouping and socializing, pvp drama and thrills of trying to solo farm them and such. adds lot of personality/depth to the zones

I loved this, i hope we will have more epic encounters with giant beasts, giant bears, giant king kong, or a giant smilodon hunting giant dodos and more, it would be amazing. Keep going this way

amazing idea 47:35 and I really like the non faction told it is just superb I swear

hey, a concept seldomly discussed is damage-mix... if you have a fire-mage and an ice-mage, mobs may have the "frozen"-debuff und the "on fire" debuff at the same time... kind of paradox... of course everybody should be useful, but i mean, there is potential for tactics, need for coordination, different boss-stages require different damage-types and whatnot... i am happy that your dev-team is aware of 'never seen' mechanics like environment-interaction during combat or new concepts of aggro-stages like with the spiders... so there is this elephant in the room that if a mob is burried in ice, should a spear pearce as powerful as if the mob was just staggered by a poison?! ...

Finally. I a game I will be able to quit WoW for. Thank you Ashes of Creation. And please keep up the good work. The world needs and MMORPG like this one.

This is a damn alpha...This is absolutely fantastic. The theory behind the character paired with themed abilities and the little enrage at the end. Personally i really love dragon fights in general but tbh i think that as long as you make a "boss" that fits in with the enviroment, theres no way you will fail. Open world fights, either if they are in an open field or in a cave are just so cool. Also the tarantula posture is such a clean touch to the immersion. The coolest thing for me so far however is the numbers of your dmg output. I'm aware this can change quick but i really don't like hitting for those 6 digit numbers. So thanks for that! Keep up this masterpiece for the love of mmorpg.

Looking cool haha 🎉

:: feedback template :: pros: cons: what I would love to see:

Giving personality to enemies and not making it that you find the same type of enemy everywhere makes a cool player environment bond, the more diversity the better.

Cyclop, Feedback.(This is in no way me upset or not liking what i seen here, just the thoughts i had as i watched) I like the idea of a huge guy, I like that he has very large sounds with him. The monster him self feels very static. What i mean is when he walks his embellishments are stuck to him his skulls on the tree dont move or animate. He has no snow leaking off of him. He is a guy that roams in the snow it seems to me he would be blanketed in some snow. Not covered but seems like there should be some. I couldn't tell if he was blowing steam out of his mouth. Tumok over all animations are very nice and fluent. It makes sense what he is doing what hes about to do and while he is casting hitting and in combat in general.His sprites dont appear to be playing, Like when he stomps there is no snow powder lifting off the ground. when he is hit he does not bleed. When he fell down when he died no snow moved? I guess that is part of the ambiance i am looking for. When he stomps by or charges it seems to me there should be snow blowing from his movements. There is a Rock and nature sprite played, When moving. But not snow. Also the Weapon is a Living Tree? I think? It seems to me it has a mouth that should be animating and screaming in pain as its hit. Also should be maybe calling to its master for help or defense.Maybe its not what this game was designed for. But as the monsters/monster weapon takes dmg there is no indication of it taking dmg or display of damage taken other then a HP bar. This would be a huge immersion breaking thing to me. Just my opinion. A Player should not be forced to have to have HP bars on as well as The hole ui for that matter seems that there should be visual ques in the game as well as UI elements. Player combat : I know in time a player will understand who is casting specific spells, and what it sounds like, and what it looks like. How ever i seen in this video when you all were fighting i had a hard time trying to figure out who was casting what and when specific openers and chain attacks were available.

Looks good to me

I'd also incorporate more of the idea that the "Enemy knows what he's doing". He's not just going to randomly smash willy nilly, he's going to actively try to take out the tank or the mage or the healer. Is he taking large chunks of blunt force damage? target the tank! Is he taking a lot of spell damage? Go for the mage! Enemy healing too quick? Charge that healer! Some of my favorite bosses in any game are those that change tactics on you mid-raid, and keep you on your toes!

Another thing I like, specifically about the book series "Viridian Gate Online" is a little more dynamic work within the class system - a player can be a cleric, oooooor they can be a plague doctor. They can be a firebrand spell caster, oooor a shadowmancer! Being able to combine your "daily" skills like alchemy, cooking, herbalism, animal husbandry, etc into your Class to create an offshoot is a VERY powerful thing that I have never seen within a game system, and would LOVE to see with Ashes of Creation. A Cleric cross-classed with a Ranger (Protector) might also unite their alchemy skills into their abilities for some... flavor. Visual effects at the lowest levels - a glowing sword here, pretty fire effect there - to actual effects at the higher - added bleed damage to an enemy hit by Castigation (What is death to you is health to me), or an extended range/time on Hallowed Ground (oh, were you meaning to keep living here? no.). Someone who doubles up on a Tank to be a Guardian might be the toughest badass in the crew, but also loves to cook, and their food boosts specific defensive abilities of the eater by a certain percentage (Timmie might hit like a plow and think like an ox, but his chimichangas made my last Rush knock EVERYONE down!).

Very excited about what was briefly mentioned about rangers being able to use melee weapons and have some skills. I hope that you are able to allow rangers to be like the rangers from lord of the rings. And being a class that can use bows and also melee just like Aragorn a Ranger of the North. That would be sweet. Keep up the good work!

Spiders usally adapt to the environment they live/hunt in, meaning color changes or other changes to their anatomy to better survive. For the winter spiders, wouldn't white or even a greyish white be more realistic. Also maybe add invisible or very hard to see webs randomly connecting froma tree to another tree or obstacles and walking through them garners thr agro from all spiders within an X amount of range. And some good counter play to that would be to bring a rogue with trap detection along with your group to help point them out. Also for spiders to make the forest an even more dangerous place, to allow them to not only roam the ground but also up in the trees, so when traveling through the forest you will need to keep an eye on ALL of your surroundings making it feel very immersive and even scary to venture off the main path, as it should be.

It would by cool to have a chanse where the spiders attack immediately. One system I always liked is the overwhelming of small low health enemies. Just stomping around and spilling blod seems realy cool.

I noticed that the cyclops took a while to get back on target after doing it's ramming charge attack. I think it would be cool and more engaging if you gave him the ability to leap or otherwise rush back to attacking the tank instead of fast-walking over.

YAAASSSSS Fishing Updates!!!!!! Lets go AOC! ooo questions... makeshift aquariums or mounted fish plaque's for bragging rights??!?!??!

Damn the combat looks really clean here, maybe it's just because it's magic. I've always thought the effects have been a bit over-the-top relative to the actual impact. This video looks like clean, satisfying classical fantasy gameplay.

Questions for the next stream: Have you all decided on the naming structure for player characters? I know in Alpha 1 it was individual. Will they be individually named or be more of a modern system that is based off of the account display name? Other question would be what will it look like when selecting your second archetype to make your class? Will you be locked into that permanently or will that be something we can change using a trainer or something to that effect? Thanks!

For weapons and gear i would like them to have awesome things on them like hp drain etc

first of all, thank you for showing how the game is coming and how you want to come up with fights. I know is early in the game development and I'am a nobody but i would like to point out some things that in my personal opinion might be nice to have and stuff that i did not like about the fight , i feel like you need that real friend to tell you stuff how it really is. - leaving steps on the snow when you walk over it would be great - tree falling can do dmg to nearby creatures and players - the boss fight is 2 basic ( i know is early in development | first raid boss ) but maybe the stomp ability can interrupt casters for a period of time if they are hit while casting, maybe spawn some adds that target certains specs while you are fighting the boss to not make the fight so static, spawn pools of buff or debuff that spawn after killing different types of spores/mushrooms . - the dmg recieved is really low - i don't know if it is your equipment or did you unbalance the fight on purpose but it felt like there was no wipe potential in the whole fight. You guys are a group of lvl 15 taking down a lvl 30 world boss and it feels like just an elite mob fight. - mdps don't seem to have much 2 do on this fight (coming here to the spawn add mechanics above to give them something to do) since they are almost uncapable of doing dmg to the boss since he is moving trying to charge into range members

Are you planning on adding battle-music? A fitting soundtrack to an epic fight would definitely help with immersion.

Thanks for sharing the new boss fight. It seems as if the melee will have a very hard time keeping up with the mobs and the boss. I only saw a couple of melee fighters and it did not seem like they were able to do much to the boss. Also, some mechanics like that ground slam seem very punishing to them compared to the range players. Hopefully they are sufficiently tanky. Another thing, it's hard to look at the raid party and idently what roles people are playing except the mages and tank look distinguishable. Maybe there could be better silluette or color pallet to help us identify them better? Overall, there's a lot of good stuff here.

I mean he's a Mage in full plate. I'm not sure the class system is going to be anything but a complete mess. You can't identify anything. PvP having no idea what you're playing against sounds awful. You need consistency to formulate strategy. There's no consistency so strategy is out the window. Not a fan.

Cyclops like this boy and others should have a petrifying gaze ability that turns players in a cone who are facing him into stone until it's dispelled or they/the cyclops dies.
