Man. Such a good conversation. I love your work. Your editing, your questions, your opinions, your humor. My really no 1 favorite content creator. Good work. 👍
Tanner is solid. love that guy. If anyone was going ot save dopamine, it was Tanner, guy is rock solid. Burns tho... Hes alright too I guess. :) Love the intros dude!
EPH and a ton of it's members was/were well known as cheats before Ashes (it's rampant af in TaL), a ton in pre-Phase 1, a ton in phase 1, and a ton in phase 2. It is only fair that any previous members be treated with that bias. I like a lot of the peeps there (like Doc) and Tanner at least talks a good game so far. I hope Dopamine goes the legit route and can overcome the bad history. It's goid for the game for that to happen. It'll just time. Rock on friends. Happy hunting!
I really wish they'd done this alpha and roadmap differently. At this rate the self proclaimed "big players" are going to be burnt out by the time the game actually releases leading to huge disparities on servers between who runs/owns stuff and who just plays the game until they inevitably get bored of being ran over constantly.
Yeah our Guild as well has a fantastic culture. Very accepting and chill crowd. Feels like a family. Awesome to see other guilds do that. Everyone matters!
Do you think that Steven will actually get to play his own game? Having helped on a small text-based mmo...the amount of drama even on that can be CRAZY. I honestly kinda don't see him even being able to play Ashes in the way he might want. I hope he does though i feel like we can get some awesome like Ultima-esk moments if he does
Weird, im sure I commented on this video before, huh. anyways ashes is looking and shaping up amazingly and im looking forward to seeing it once its fully ready. I wont be able to play much in the alpha unfortunately, maybe in phase 3
Before I even watch this video, I know its going to be a banger, I wish Steven would actually talk to the "little people" when developing this game. Intrepid thinks they are making the right decisions but this game will fail in less than a year after release just like the rest if they don't listen to the masses. Of course they will say, "this game isn't for everyone", and that's the issue.
Why did He / You as a member abuse the Guild Wars if you are highly against abusing a system in the game for advancement. It was obvious that was broken with the rewards etc.. to the point it was pointed out by Steven. So that is confusing to me. How do you just let that go to the side like we didn't do it. When that was the reason it was even noticed. Do you not consider that exploiting something that was abusing something obviously broken?
@@TheCopiumClinic kk good deal. I am a hardcore focused player enjoy the structure just wanted to make sure I would not find myself under the Devs bad side if I manage to play alongside you guys.
Great PR video. Love your content. If a system is in the game, some gamers are going to take advantage of the system to get ahead, and on top, that's a reality. While I'm not a fan of the, do it until daddy makes you stop mentality, I understand it's a necessary evil at this point. It is still testing Intrepid and AOC systems and I think that's extremely important at this point. It will only make Intrepid and the game better in the end.
Standard: "Excellent Video, as always. Thanks Doc!" Which brings up the question: in a metaphorical "Great Race of the Content Creators", how many times has The Copium Clinic lapped the other guys by now? #JustSaying😋 Anywho, I really hope there's a really hope there's a guild like Dopamine on the EU servers as well when I can actually get in... Sorry, I wasn't talking with my mouth full, just chomping at the bit.
I mean the small guild i am in on Vyra even we still have fun, we see all these big guilds and multiple versions and we are the "casuals" love AoC see you guys in Vyra!
Luci wouldst maketh the finest mayor, and any other choice wouldst be naught but folly and unwise, for Luci is our true savior and rightful guide to the prosperity and bounteous fortunes yet to come. Vote for Luci! aw crap wc ;D
Even a great game can be ruined by the players. As much as I love MMO's I can't stand the people sometimes. Seems completely contradictory since an MMO is only an MMO because of all the players. Yet, here I am. Loving MMO's while disliking people, lol. Especially with how guilds and PvP will go. Currently playing T&L and am in the top hardcore guild. I like being on top. We don't shit talk people and we are respectful, but...100% we gatekeep everything. Good luck ever getting a world or arch boss drop against us (when it's not a peace event). We completely dominate the server with our alliance. Casuals are essentially screwed out of content. Casuals will never win PvP events against us. Perhaps I'm part of the problem, but if I spend the time, do I not deserve to be on top? Of course the game is somewhat P2W, so I can't say those people deserve to be on top, but anyways...I see AOC having some issues like this. It will probably be great for people like me who want to be in a top guild, but what about others? Yeah, the whole "this game isn't for those people then" is an argument one can make, but an MMO cannot survive without casuals. It's a simple fact. Idk, I hope AOC is balanced. T&L numbers are doing the normal numbers drop off like most MMO's. It still has a lot of players (via steam) compared to FFXIV, ESO, New World, etc. but who knows how it will be in 6 months.
As I see it there are 3 main flaws in the vision for the game. One of them is that the more skill based, and competitive the game is, and the greater the impact the players have on each other, the smaller a game must be. A lottery can include millions, a stroke-play golf tournament a hundred or so, but an MMA contest is mostly 1v1. If you want large scale PvP it has to be low risk and/or opt out. You can wish for it like I can wish for a genie in a lamp, but it ain't going to happen.
Hey Burns!
Thanks for the interview, it was really nice talking with you. Super excited for the future of Ashes!
@@tannerthicc thanks for coming on dude! Fun talking with ya.
I'm hearing it's only possible to join the guild via referral - is this true?
Tanners a good dude. Had a few voice calls with him and it was refreshing to talk to a normal person lol.
Dopamine...more like Dopa-MEAN!
Man. Such a good conversation. I love your work. Your editing, your questions, your opinions, your humor. My really no 1 favorite content creator. Good work. 👍
Second this! 🤙🏼
Great interview, the guild booths at the start was spot on!
This was an awesome interview, gives me hope for guild leaders. He seems like a real cool dude. Thanks for the check up doc
Oh this is cool to land in my recommendations. Good stuff gamers! ❤
Tanner is solid. love that guy. If anyone was going ot save dopamine, it was Tanner, guy is rock solid.
Burns tho... Hes alright too I guess. :)
Love the intros dude!
That intro was 100% amazing content.
Interested in the same with the Polar GM? LMK
Easily best guild leader in ashes at the moment. biblically accurate guild leader.

This guy seems to be a great leader, also his voice is calming af, bet they rarely fight when he is involved
Enjoyed hearing this perspective of the guild, since all my in game interactions with dopamine have been very toxic.
Cause they are toxic, they was EPH
glad you said this, because absolutely that has also been my experience with every dopamine member.
I really wish they'd done this alpha and roadmap differently.

the game is shaping up so nicely though, its going to be sick once everything is ready and falls in place.
Yeah our Guild as well has a fantastic culture. Very accepting and chill crowd. Feels like a family.
Awesome to see other guilds do that. Everyone matters!

Dang that’s a throwback. Playing on Ys in New World
Don't let the camera angle fool you, I heard this Tanner dude is jacked

As Rust player with 2000 hours I’ll say axiom PVP’s constantly. We just don’t actively start stuff with everyone and anyone.

Wait, what is "Down Time" ?.?
I don't understand O.o
Sleep, Work, Ashes.

Each dopamine guild did 3 wars 24 hrs before steven made the announcement not to do them. After he said that, we stopped.

This game has had potential for over 10 years when are they gonna do something with their "potential"
@@PaulSmith-fd2gy true
So the add before this video was for Star Citizen 🤣😂😆🙃🤣

Which server are either of your guilds on?
Vyra!
Sweet man good interview.
Are people still making gold from the exploits ?

Posting on Doctors hours now.. or gamer hours depending on if youre waking up or going to bed. 😂😂😂😂
Haha funny you say that. When I get on the game in the morning I usually group up with the guys who have been up all night.
@@TheCopiumClinic I am both depending on the day. 😂😂😂
mage in my opinion is kinda broke, like im tank main dealing with mages is annoying
