Players in the town gather together to slay the monster to stop it's effect on the land management score to save their node. Or a neighboring node leads a world boss to your node for it to wreak havoc on the land which forces your nodes citizens to kill it. Things like this would be amazing to experience of made possible.

Thank you very much Steven and Intrepid Studios!

Every time I see the details of the world, I just can't wait to adventure and explore.

I cannot wait to be apart of this world. I love the current MMO's that I have been playing, but I have longed for an MMO of this caliber, and a game i can pour my heart into. This was a wonderful video, having them address these topics was refreshing and wholesome.

An experience I had with griefing that stuck with me was in SWTOR. There was a PVP zone you had to pass through to get to a story zone. There were about 4 people camping that zone and killing people. I tried running past them, sneaking past invisible and they kept finding and killing me. I was frustrated so I asked for help in general chat. Next thing I know I had 15+ volunteers to escort me and they all hunted down and PK’d the players camping that zone. It turned a bad experience into a pretty cool one being able to get support from strangers to turn the tables on those griefers. Idk what the best way to implement something like this into an actual system would be. But allowing players to recruit allies or set bounties to get revenge against flagged PKers could take the sting out of it a bit.

We can't get inside each others heads and completely understand why we enjoy different aspects of the same game, but we should be able to at least understand the differences that are there. I play an MMORPG to explore, to harvest and craft, to mindlessly grind mobs for hours and sell the loot and collect everything I can. Other people are just a source of world immersion and economy to me. I love it but I understand that it would probably bore you to tears because you are playing that same game to be social, whether it be facing challenges with your friends in a PVE setting like a dungeon or challenging others in a PVP setting like in a hardcore section of the map. We just have different needs and goals that the game is meeting. That's kind of the beauty of MMORPGs, you know? The best ones know how to balance all the playstyles and have them compliment each other. Maybe I'm supplying you with your high tier meals or breeding your fast mounts while you are going into heavy PVP areas to get rare armor I can buy from you. Just because we are different doesn't mean we don't equally add value to the game's world.

Love the fact that resources are more widely available and some might say that it will over stock the market but taking into account the land management I believe it will balance because if an area is over striped then there will be a shortage or imbalance of resources. Oh and love the animations.

The Bandit Slaver model looks sick. Hope we get hoods/masks like that

time to gather round the fire lads Steven has a story to tell us.

As a gatherer/crafter in many games this looks awesome! I have a couple questions about gathering though. To start the surveying tool, would you be able to focus your search for certain resources? Like you place the tool in the world, then either there's a gui that lets you search for specific gatherables, or maybe you can give the tool a piece of whatever you're looking for, say X amount of iron ore, to scan for that specifc kind of material. EDIT: This was kinda addressed in stream (hadnt finished when posted this comment) but not exactly. Second question is a little simpler. Since there's gatherables that are only available during certain seasons, will there be any gatherables tied to weather events? Like a magma ore that can only be mined during storms/rain cause it's cooled down, or maybe crystal nodes that only show up at night cause they'll glitter in the moonlight. Side note: one thing that I've always wished a game would have that I think would be cool to consider (although might be to hard to do?) would be turning one resource into another via interacting with it with skills. Ex: Someone uses a flame spell or smacks a tree with a torch and the tree burns, then allowing you to gather charcoal instead of logs from said tree. Or maybe a warrior could use a class/weapon skill like a giant slash with a war axe or something to break/cutdown trees (although probably gathering less resources from it for not using the appropriate tool.) Has anything similar been considered? I have seen it on other games but it's usually on smaller scales. Although I can also see it conflicting with processing professions. Likewise it'd be pretty badass if there was a dragon running around in a forest burning down all the trees and turning them into something different instead of just getting rid of them.

@presedint8249

Feels like altering a resource in the wild with a player skill (Like shooting a fireball and burning a tree for charcoal or something) might be a little much for them to be thinking about this early on.

I hope its something they would be interested in adding once the game is more in a finished state.

I will be impressed if you guys manage to pull off this ecological event system for harvesting. overhunting predators, which causes more prey to flourish? Rotating crops and being mindful of your impacts on an area's resource spawn? A lot of developers talk a big game when it comes to mechanics like these, but they either don't get implemented, or the execution is downright poor. If this kind of thing makes it into the game, this could be wildly cool. All-in-all, everything spoken about in this video sounds very promising. As a farmer and a PvPer, I love what I'm hearing. Keep up the good work!

Group gathering sounds interesting! Personally I think it shouldn't necessarily be mandatory, whether the necessity for a 2-person saw could be circumvented by experience, or that it increases yield/decreases harvest time. Reason being, I like to gather materials as a kinda zoned out downtime after a hard day's raiding or PvP. It's nice to have that chilled alone time in what is otherwise a very busy game. Looking forward to seeing how it's implemented!

@@bobtower66 yeah, I agree 100%. It's all about balance - a group prerequisite adds a layer of difficulty that relies on something outside of player skill, and that's a good thing. But to lock certain elements of the game behind a group requirement will occasionally lock out the more casual players. I don't suppose that in itself is a bad thing, but if it happens regularly in various aspects of the game, it will feel gatekeepy. Obv's it's an mmo, and that's to be expected - but in something such as gathering, which i've never seen any game ever require multiplayer to gather, could potentially remove the last stronghold of single player activity. Don't get me wrong - in principle, I like the idea (and the fact that AoC is pushing the boundaries of expectation and that is setting it apart from every other game ever) but I just hope that the group gathering principle doesn't lock content from solo-play. In years gone by, I enjoyed "flower picking" as a Nelf druid scribe - it was something I could just do without hassle once I had had enough of dungeoning.

@@GavC-137 main reason it requires a group to harvest large timbers or a guild to protect a cave to extract a rare ore is because the game is trying to set up the need for cooperation amongst players and scarcity of resources. The game has a clear defined set of goals on the systems the developer's are interested in. They are going for a flavour of old school gaming I haven't seen since the 90s when I use to play mudds. To say it's gatekeeping when it's the game they want to make and the game the players who have invested in were sold on seems a bit disingenuous. They have never once advertised this as single player friendly. There are activities you can do solo but a majority of the content they have shown like sieges, dungeons and the like is going to require groups. Solo games are great but this isn't one of those.

Keep up the great work guys. We have seen amazing progress this year. At the rate you’re going I am confident that you will provide that MMORPG that I will spend thousands of hours enjoying. I have played Wow, EQ2, BDO, ESO, Eve Online, GW2, New World, Lost Ark, and many other MMORPGs. Come to think of it, I got a PHD in MMORPGs. By adding the best these games and others had to offer I feel that you will create something special. Please spend the time nailing down combat, crafting, gathering, raiding, group dinamics and the economy. I am a big fan of watching Star Citizen’s development but after 10 years I would like to have had more game loops in that game. Mounts and underwater combat like GW2 have is incredibly fun and I love the direction you are going with that to take it to the next level. Rift and GW2 random spawn events made the World come to life by bringing players together and not just having players run from theme park locations to locations all the time bypassing many thing like in other games. I cannot wait till Alpha 2 is ready to roll out. I really look forward to going back to my EQ2 days were grouping up and raiding was extreamly fun. From the looks of all the classes I just might be able to bring back those EQ2 Skirge the Dirge days in Ashes.

this reminds me to archeage gathering trees, so nice

Cant wait to see fishing as well! With the ship/boat system a really hope we will have some ocean fishing expeditions with nett and harpoon fishing and stuff like that, not just click one button to catch a shark with a 1 meter fishing pole in small river... :) maybe some scanning the ocean where the best fish is on a random like weekly basis so you have to sail and really find it

I do have a suggestion for lumbering trees. When you chop down a tree I would recommend a secondary lumbering skill with like a saw to gather lumber from a chopped tree. It doesn't make sense to get 3 or 4 lumber from 1 tree. If the tree is on the ground it would make more sense to get 3 or 4 lumber from a section of the chopped tree... so maybe have scattered lumber branches , trunks etc ( that provide different amount of wood and lumber) after the tree has been chopped so that you can gather would be my idea so there's not too many chopped trees.... the lumber would fill a lumber satchel etc that has a hard cap that would prevent deforestation... yes deforestation is good but not to an extreme... You shouldnt be able to carry all the lumber from 1 tree in your satchel or device.Yes trees grow back but this would allow you to increase the amount of time a tree takes to grow back. Overall 1 tree should have more worth than a few lumber. It should have worth of having 20 to 30 lumber in total that requires processing that requires the same amount of time that it takes to aquire 20 to 30 lumber from chopping down the same amount of trees...to finish this off I would recommend a lumbermill to process wood for different necessities that are required for it.

Also chopping down 1 tree can provide more than just lumber. Let's say you chop down a tree... if you chop this tree down not only will it provide lumber but also maybe a maple tree will drop branches that provide maple syrup and apples scattered throughout where it landed. These items are scattered about so it would provide competition by the players as you said : risk. Imagine players pvping for lumber syrup, apples, cherries, and anything 1 tree provides.

Lot of good stuff. I specially like ability to offencively use gathering. In addition, I think surveying or max experience could provide ability to select the correct stones to mine, thus skipping the useless ones. However, I think the system should not create situation where you don't want your friend with you to gather resources or you need them to max out the profession first. That could happen, if there is limited set of nodes and person would get different amount of results from a single node, i.e., only experienced gatherer can join, because otherwise materials are lost. Instead, I would suggest that experienced player would create benefits for others, but every additional gatherer would always be beneficial. Even in a single case, the experienced player could tell which nodes you need to mine and the novice miner would mine what is told, but would provide the same amount of materials per node (but probably would be slower, thus worse alone than experienced player).

Hope they line up the axe chops with where the tree actually breaks, and that the falling tree interacts with still standing trees, here it just passed right on through... would be very cool to have the axe chops actually take chunks out of the tree as a bit of a progress indicator and a nice indicator of which direction it will fall. Falling trees should probably also have the chance to break into multiple parts, make them seem more weighty and less bouncy

I love this flagging system, and it's great to see Steven arguing and holding his opinion about it. Seems like the ppl babycrying about it have never played something similar to a late point of the game where no one cares about griefing a random guy farming monsters and it's everything around clan wars.

GREAT reveals and new info on gathering. A question for your next update: It's been mentioned we won't necessarily know what we're mining/chopping ahead of time, without surveying. However, will there be rocks/trees, etc that DO stand out as irregular, as to indicate higher value?

Like in Valheim, when you chop down trees; if the tree chopped down falls into other trees, will it also cause damage to those other trees and potentially knock them down as well? similar with any gatherables on the ground or even monsters/players - will they take damage as well if the tree falls on them?

Amazing update. They are great to get but are also bitter sweet. I am sure y'all know exactly what I am talking about. My question about the gathering mechanics: Have the team considered altering the resource respawn rates of plants (and flowers etc...) depending on the season? What I mean by this is...can living plants respawn slower in the winter than they would in the spring or summer?

if an amateur (or low lvl proficiency) gatherer group up to do duo gather like chopping down trees with a profesional gatherer , wich degree of proficiency will be considered for the resource? in regards to the resources that tree or vein will drop?, will that sort of interaction affect negative the resource or will the profesional gatherer suffer some kind of penalizacion for say an exotic resource ?

Hello Ashes of Creation team and everyone else! I'm wondering if the position of the Trees, bushes, and Rocks that you can gather if they will spawn randomly in the world or they are fixed locations and will always respawn the same thing at same spot?

i am pretty sure its the same location and same thing (when it comes to trees anyway) and just a slow spawn time, but i get the feeling mining rocks will change, that's my take of it anyway.

He said in the video that new resources will spawn randomly within certain parameters so the same resource wont be in the exact same spot every time.

Everything wrong with current and past MMOs is being addressed in a smart manner with the player experience in-mind. This game seems to be on track to become the greatest gift to the MMO community the world has ever seen. It's so amazing that the leaders in developing this game are MMO afficianados themselves, and not just suits behind a spreadhseet, figuring out how to best fleece their customers. An MMO by MMOers! I am absolutely stunned by the scope of this world that's being created.

the trees need more crunch when they impact the ground/fall imo

you amazing!

With the confirmation that open sea will be fill with riches, will there be something to slow down the "progression" of the few first boats that go the sea and may snowball with does riches?

Something I'm wondering is does it matter where around one of those trees one stands to chop at it, and what happens if it falls at mobs?

Hello, have you thought anything about how the anti-griefing (corruption) will be end? Will it be a senario where once the character is corrupt it will stay corrupt until death or will it be a timed ”debuff” that presists through death? Or will there be some kind of attunement system where you will have to make good deeds to drop your corruption? Looking forward to the game, keep up the good work!

Gathering of any resourse kind of goes before crafting things . Like you craft swords? Now if you could craft higher qualities of swords by using a higher grade of ore. So maybe the grade of ore being found in certain area could be in the info you get back from your survey. So would the quality of the sword be decided by the quality of the ore ? Or the skill level of the crafter?

I can see wardens being a thing, keeping an eye on how much people are harvesting materials.

If the perks of being a small guild are supposed to even the odds to a certain extent against big guilds - whats stopping the huge guilds from doing 5xsmall guilds with all the buffs? and basically making the perks mandatory by meta?

the bigger the tree does that mean more resources? will a tree damage a mob/player if landed on them? can you break down those big rocks?

Just curious if you are going to add controller support in Ashes of Creation?

From the Official support page... There are currently no plans to include controller support in Ashes of Creation at launch. While this is something we would like to make available to our players, a good implementation can be difficult. Support for game controllers is something that we may revisit at a later date. posted on May 2021

What happens when a tree falls, if no player is around to hear it? What if they have music playing?

Ik this is kinda odd but century age of ashes has an amazing way their dragons work. Like not talking the boost n stuff. But their animations etc feel like these dragons are realistic and powerful. So what I’m saying is their animations are great for their dragons and for the future I hope you take inspiration from them. Also rdr2 horse as most know are the best in video games to date and for horse like mounts that have similar movement I hope animation and controls is handled similar to that aswell. Last thing is century is a very fast paced game so I hope borrowing from that while not making dragons so fast paced could be cool

How would you combat someone "PVE griefing" your area? For example, you are grinding a rotation in a camp and someone comes in and starts over-grinding you and splitting the camp making it inefficient to grind. You kill them because it is your spot and they keep coming back and just not flagging to death grief you. So in that instance, the person that dies to the flag has zero penalties? I understand the penalties for the one making the killing but if they have no benefit then it is still griefing by the PVEr. Are there going to respawn timers? Ways to grind up your Karma and is there a way to protect your grind spot or do you give it up? Do we expect people to wait in line for a spot?

One of the things brought up in this gathering update that seems pretty critical to economic balance and gathering speed was land management. As more resources are harvested quickly within a period, they will regenerate slower. If that is the case, will the Mayors of nodes be able to set limits on gathering within their node for specific resources to make land management more efficient? If a player chooses not to follow the land management rules set by the elected mayors (through the various node election processes) would they possibly build corruption and receive a bounty?

I would love to see a crime and punishment system much like AA. Having your crimes displayed or being apart of a jury to condemn or release possible criminals had so many great impacts in the community and social aspects of the game, it was also a fun way to prevent or mitigate griefing.

What is there to prevent some one deliberately walking into aoe effects/spells to make the other player gain corruption

@jasonlicht6763

in order to hurt other players you have to 'flip a switch' or they have to have 'flipped a switch'. So either they're flagged as an enemy and you don't gain corruption, or you're already flagged for pvp and wouldn't 'accidentally' be hitting them with aoe.

Will there be a possibility of a server with a more laxed approach on corruption (hence a PvP server)? i.e. a different ruleset.

I am pretty sure that's a no, at least so far, from what i know all servers will be the same, the only differences is they will grow differently depending on the players actions on that server.

If you mess with the corruption system, you have to mess with every system that interacts with it. It isn’t feasible to make two separate corruption systems for the game because of the fact every system is very entwined with each other. Paradox gaming network did a amazing video explaining this which you can find

Steven coughing is a staple in every video

will we be able to use the environment to our advantage in combat? for example can we drop a tree on a pack of trashmobs and either kill them or make them scatter

Please add the sound when stepping on snow :D

I mean this team this game this company seems amazing...just making those videos bringing up issues like pvp griefing etc, its reassuring me that they care and they are doing all they can to makea great MMO. Am just seating in the back and let Steven and the rest of Devs drive, not sure how much more I can hold this excitement though :D haha

If I like the corruption system, I can definitely see it a big dampener on griefing in the game. When it comes to the gathering system, it looks good and being able to harvest more is almost always a better thing. The only complaint I have about the gathering system is I would like to see axe indents in the trees as they are being chopped same goes for mining it would be cool to see cracks in the stone before the shatter. Not sure what could be done to show more detail on plants as they are being harvested.

You know what would be awesome is if they had tamable mounts that were breed-able and that also were able to attack enemies when you’re riding them as well as being able to set as passive, set to follow, set to attack target. They can die and you can lose them. (Kind of like ark)

How would I be able to contest a dungeon if the person I’m trying to contest against never flags for PVP and just walks right past me into the dungeon?

Can players use caravans or wagons in the open world without a caravan event? So in essence just to roleplay traveling?

Doesn't sound like it but who knows, they could add some rp stuff like that to the game. Would be cool if they had trader wagons people could sell their crafted items from or resources they have gathered. Would be neat to see players setting up make shift trade stalls near dungeons.

I think this would be cool if it had no functionality outside of looks... but I don't think they will do it because it would be very cluttered... a way to grief people by parking your caravan on top of them, also makes running "decoy" caravans in the pvp side of things free.
