What do you think of this type of video, answering common questions, whether from YT comments, or Twitch chat? Something you'd like to see more of, or not something you're interested in?

The Game snapshots the gear you had on, when you did your kill that made you corrupted. Even if you unequip it afterwards, it can still be lost upon death.
Regardless of the current mechanics, they are really wanting to combat non consensual PK, especially after what happened to asmongold so I would expect any loopholes to be fixed and for corruption to be really punishing.
@GrappLr Did you ever play Guild Wars 1? I remember it having very creative cross class builds. Like Thumper Ranger; a Ranger/Warrior who mainly used Warrior hammer skills for CCs and their Ranger stances for speed/evasion/kiting. I've always found stuff like this interesting, flipping the class fantasy on its head. I hope AoC has a bit of this.
With there not being many wipes, im looking forward to playing many classes. Rather indecisive and i love many classes/combos. Not gonna lie, part of me, since its a alpha, wishes we could change archetypes or secondary archetypes at least for testing.
09:48 Yes, Tank/Cleric is Paladin, but if you want something akin to Retribution Paladin from WoW you should be Highsword and if you want to be Holy Paladin you should role Templar.
One thing I've been wondering about is how well the whole "melting pot" idea with regards to the 9 races & the Node system is going to play out lorewise. Steven has said that he doesn't want race to dictate a person's allegiance so much as Background, Religion, etc., and it's kind of explained with the Divine Gateways & the idea that you're all survivors looking to re-colonize Verra...but IMO it would still feel kind of weird to me playing through the Human starting area (the only one available atm) as say for instance a Vek. I also kind of worry that the Node system could ultimately lead to a situation where the 3 or 4 most popular races control like 90% of the Nodes, and the rest of the races can barely even get a foothold in Verra outside of their starting cities.
About pvping against ranged classes, they need to add skills that interrupt casting spells or actual ccs, roots and slows dont really work on mages that have the same range as an archer
I don't have a question but One of my worries is mega corporation like guilds completely dominating. Like the whole map being controlled by Same Guild 1 and Same Guild2, 3 and so on. I wonder how newer guilds will be able to stand up to older guilds. How much of guild wars will be strategy and how much will be just getting stat checked
World is way too big to be dominated like that. You'd have to have a guild with thousands of people online at once. Maybe a few servers might have a mega guild like this, but even then, there is a lot that can be done as a smaller guild in terms of trade.
There will always be large guilds. Join one, or learn to live in a world where most people like joining a group. My large guild tries hard to be a blessing to the players around them. That play style is the most rewarding imo.
@@GrappLr If it the size of the world was the only obstacle in the way of "mega corporation guilds" then I would point you to Eve Online, I have not personally played it, but they can take up such huge amounts of space and have huge guild numbers. I think the primary obstacle though will not be size, but something Pirate Software said, just under a different context and talking about how it relates to something else, and its how "Sov" would work. Apparently in Eve Online, if you want to play within a specific region, but a guild has control over it, and you are not part of that guild, then you cannot play within that region. "Sov" in Ashes is not tied to Guilds, but Nodes and the Mayors, which means someone doesn't have to be a part of the guilds to be involved within that area. Since they are not incentivized to be a part of one very specific guild, there is no need for the mega-corp guilds to form. A lot of the political structure tied to the Nodes and surrounding the nodes will be what prevents these mega-corpo guilds from emerging. One other way this shows itself is in how Artisanship works, you need a group of people dedicated to it to truly make use of it, with different roles, this promotes Artisan Guilds, but it also means that people who prioritize Artisanship will be focused on finding those guilds and will be unlikely to join another type of guild. As you said before too, there will be guilds which may be more like mercenaries or bodyguards, which focus on PvP, but in this case they are likely to not have much artisans, and they also will likely be less focused on more PvE focused content and the stuff you gain from it. The politics between the Mayor and all these other guilds, should prevent specific guilds from taking over, and if they do, then there is always the risk of those other guilds doing a node war or pulling some other political stunt to overthrow them. I do also think while not the primary obstacle, I think the a smaller but additional obstacle will be the player cap within guilds, and the benefits a "small guild" are supposed to get over a "large guild"(and however Intrepid intends to impliment that).
Corrupt can't unequip, trade, store, or drop anything once they go corrupt. They WILL lose 1-3 pieces they had on the character at the time of corruption. PLUS if they pick anything up after Corruption, it stays on them as well and can be lost.
I talked about it I think during a special ranger panel, and it complicated balance by a ton of spells are individually affected on range by different weapons
@@GrappLr fair enough. I'm guessing they are referring to the imbued arrows primarily. Hopefully they find a way around it but I guess we'll see. I like weapons being vastly different from each other rather than being just a slightly different flavor.
So there will be battle pets made in Animal Husbandry and all classes will be able to use a battle pet but it will be at a cost of stats to your character.
If you die and drop some, anyone can take it. That’s only for gatherables, not gear. But if you have corruption from killing people you can drop gear. You can store loot in storage in any node
Owning a plot of land is going to be quite difficult and many people will be competing for them. Not impossible, but it'll take quite a lot of work to get a freehold.
@@Delphinad7 You might not be entirely out of luck though. There will still be a ton of freeholds, and IDK what the math is, but if you put in the work and play decent hours, if it's really your goal, you could get one.
It was always very buggy in tests, so it'll take some time until they refine it and fix those issues. Too early to tell how strong it is, what's intended, what's a bug.
Any idea if we will have a druid, and if so will he be able to shape-shift into another animal and if so will the name of player be removed, I hated it in other MMOs when the shape-shift form of the player had the name above him literary announce to everyone that this is not an NPC animal but a player, the whole idea of shapeshifting for me was to disguise myself in the group of the animals I have taken the form and use it to my advantage as surprise ambush attack... rather than just for the powers that come from taking that animal form! Or the name should not be revealed till you enter the combat at least ! Sorry for the bad grammar English is my 2nd language!
Instead of wipes they can just pause servers temporarily and host fresh servers for a day or two for testing launch conditions. Then just reopen the old servers after.
You absolutely can. You still suffer the big exp debt (corrupted gets a lot more than normal death), which sucks at higher levels. Also, I know when you die, items you drop don't all get dropped, some get destroyed (talking materials). This may be true for equipable items as well?
da fak ...so now girlyman put names grapler ??? buahahaahha, one hit and i let this one without his girly hair BUAAAAAAHa ..yeah many think if they look at fight they know to fight and thiose girlyman longhair that shave their asss think are hard if they put a grape name

more content
Love it !
Very nice
You’re getting good viewership on these ashes videos man.
It's still too early to tell, but we'll see how YT treats us in the coming weeks! Thanks for being part of the viewership
I like the Q&A, and nice to see people are interested in this
I love talking Ashes, this was a great way to bring it to YT as well
The Game snapshots the gear you had on, when you did your kill that made you corrupted. Even if you unequip it afterwards, it can still be lost upon death.
What if you store it?
How does mob feeding work to avoid corruption?
Interesting. So that’s why you can’t store stuff when corrupt?
Regardless of the current mechanics, they are really wanting to combat non consensual PK, especially after what happened to asmongold so I would expect any loopholes to be fixed and for corruption to be really punishing.
Best content for Ashes I've seen yet, very informative!

I never got into GW1. I was mostly a runescape player back in the day.
Gw1 also had great pvp
With there not being many wipes, im looking forward to playing many classes. Rather indecisive and i love many classes/combos. Not gonna lie, part of me, since its a alpha, wishes we could change archetypes or secondary archetypes at least for testing.
If you’re super undecided, can’t hurt to check out my previous video on class choosing guide. Maybe it’ll make your choice a little easier.
09:48 Yes, Tank/Cleric is Paladin, but if you want something akin to Retribution Paladin from WoW you should be Highsword and if you want to be Holy Paladin you should role Templar.

It will probably be like reverse runescape where it will literally take your 3 most valuable pieces of gear
Corrupted drop their inventory as well. Removing gear would mean you’d drop more gear.
About pvping against ranged classes, they need to add skills that interrupt casting spells or actual ccs, roots and slows dont really work on mages that have the same range as an archer
excited to try this on the 8th!
Consider joining Resna, it's the server I'll be playing on.
Sounds fun except the grind. I will be watching
Cheers
I don't have a question but

I wonder how newer guilds will be able to stand up to older guilds. How much of guild wars will be strategy and how much will be just getting stat checked
unless they have like 100 guilds, thats not possible because the map is too big, player base on one server is too big and guilds are too small

I'm hoping the longbows range gets increased as if feels too similar in playstyle to the shortbow.

Thanks danial, glad you liked it
So there will be battle pets made in Animal Husbandry and all classes will be able to use a battle pet but it will be at a cost of stats to your character.
So I remember some talk of this. Should be interesting
Apparently they added a new starting area on PTR, any chance we get it on friday?
I have a question where is your loot stored and can other players steal it
If you die and drop some, anyone can take it. That’s only for gatherables, not gear. But if you have corruption from killing people you can drop gear.
You can store loot in storage in any node
@GrappLr what i mean is can people attack the node and take it?
A proposition: check the upcoming Drakantos - pixel art MMO RPG made by Brasilian studio :)
I saw Stelphen the developer millionaire riding a flying mount and doing pvp on Twitch . Game looks boss thanks Grapplr
With the game he’s making and the risk he’s taking, he deserves it.
I just want to be able to farm on my land and put work towards skills etc
Owning a plot of land is going to be quite difficult and many people will be competing for them. Not impossible, but it'll take quite a lot of work to get a freehold.
@@GrappLryeah that’s what I’ve kinda seen. Kinda sucks for a casual like me that loves to lifeskill.
@@Delphinad7 You might not be entirely out of luck though. There will still be a ton of freeholds, and IDK what the math is, but if you put in the work and play decent hours, if it's really your goal, you could get one.
maybe the camouflage its good in shadows too
It was always very buggy in tests, so it'll take some time until they refine it and fix those issues. Too early to tell how strong it is, what's intended, what's a bug.
I watched your video, and video about endgame, and this game reminds me of albion online so much.
Have some similarities for sure! I played Albion quite a bit
Think some1 said that getting flagged when attacking red players is a bug
Based on some previous statements, it should be a bug, but then again, Intrepid has gone back and forth on stuff, so we can't know.
Any idea if we will have a druid, and if so will he be able to shape-shift into another animal and if so will the name of player be removed, I hated it in other MMOs when the shape-shift form of the player had the name above him literary announce to everyone that this is not an NPC animal but a player, the whole idea of shapeshifting for me was to disguise myself in the group of the animals I have taken the form and use it to my advantage as surprise ambush attack... rather than just for the powers that come from taking that animal form!

yo, Im just commenting for algo to help you as I enjoy your content.

Nothing to do with ashes but i can hear a noticeable pitch whenever you talk
anyone else getting the itch to play again?? its only been a few days and i want to play again so badly

Only time will tell.
Can't you justask a friend to PK you back to remove the corrumption ? So he can give your stuff back ?
