    I really like the feel of master gatherers, those who live out in the wild. Master processors are farmers and land owners. Master craftsman work in the big cities where they can set up their shops. It works really well for immersion

    One thing I don’t think you mentioned, but Stephen said in the live stream drop in, is that there are various methods and requirements for obtaining freeholds. Some require advancement in other areas of the game, so just hitting level 50, completing a quest and then getting your guild to pool cash together and bid on one isn’t the only way to get a freehold and that method might be limited anyways.

    • @RitchieSH

      touched on it a little, with it depending on the node type and favor and all that, but not to great extent. I appreciate you pointing it out :D

    Really happy they are thinking about adding a node specific currency for bidding on freeholds. Requires you to put some time into the area instead of just making a lot of money.

    • @RitchieSH
      @RitchieSH  ปีที่แล้ว

      Agreed! - more than just gold sinks are good, and should help spread out the freeholds a bit

    Excellent presentation. It appears to me that you covered all the bases. However, as you said towards the end and as SS is careful to frequently state, AoC is still in early development and everything is subject to change, and, in fact, certainly will change. I have resolved to deem everything AoC related that has yet to be demonstrated through in game footage as a potential, unrealized design element, and everything that has been demonstrated as a placeholder. Many of the features you discussed have yet to be demonstrated in any form (NPC guards, processing, building placement, etc.) and I am convinced that many of them may not survive to the final version. It is often the case that a feature that sounds fantastic in a design meeting cannot be implemented due to tech limitations, subsequent discovered incompatibility with design goals, the fact that it is simply un-fun, and so on. I enjoy watching the process, so I am content to be entertained whether AoC saves the MMORPG genre as we know it or vanishes into the Halls of MMORPG infamy.

    For me, as a crafter. It's mot about "not everyone gets a trophy" as much as not being able to reach max potential in my selected play style.
    There is a quest that I assume has combat. At level 50, I may have the finances but may struggle with other requirements.
    However, time will tell. Perhaps some tweaks will happen, but until then, I stay concerned about the system as it is.

      Many people will get their freeholds looted when the siege takes down the nodes town. So dont sweat it too much. And make some friends and share a freehold, its up to 8.

    Clear up the concern for everyone and just tell them this has been a ten year tease with poorly optimized skill and spell animations that look like they belong in WoW and that you're not actually going to release the game. It'll save everyone the energy and time.

    So, only large guilds will have freeholds, got it. They will pool their money and outbid any smaller guild or small group playing the game. If you think this will not happen, you are either naïve or lying to yourself. If they do not do something about Large guild "zerging" or "money pooling" they will push out smaller teams. People quit playing when this stuff happens to servers. Archeage, New World, and many other MMOs have seen this first hand when one giant group/guild takes over a server. They push everyone else out. Then when they are forced to change servers, they are so far behind and these spots will be taken by either the same reason or other players have purchased all the freehold spots on that server. That is when people quit playing the game period.

    • @BigSteelThrill
      @BigSteelThrill ปีที่แล้ว

      Freeeholds will have multi-layered bidding, NON-TRANSFERABLE layers of currency used to bid on houses beyond gold. So if you grind the quests (or pvp or gathering or caravans or w/e) you will only be bidding against what other single players have accrued.

    • @khill1324
      @khill1324 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@BigSteelThrill literally says on their wiki and forums that only some will be with “non transferable funds”. It does say gold WILL be used for freehold auctions. Again, the only way to combat giant guild money pooling is to make freehold auctions non trade funds ONLY. I am 100% with this shouldn’t be a participation trophy. However, any freehold auction that takes place with transferable funds will be bought by Zerg guilds and unobtainable by anything other. So say they are 50/50 gold and NTF auctions. So, 70% of the players not in the dominant guild on the server are fighting for half of the possible freeholds if we are lucky. This needs to be an individual achievement only to avoid any player loss.

      @@khill1324 ALPHA... and this is something that came direct from testers on the official forums, and they immediately started adding layers. They want to remove the RMT issue from housing. (not just zerg guilds, RMT is far worse, as big guilds and their players earn it in game) Expect 'only gold used' to be the minority of biddings.

      @@BigSteelThrill Alpha, Beta, and Release . It doesn’t matter where the game is in development. If there are clear issues that are foreseeable and fixable from lessons learned in other games, they need to be addressed sooner rather than later. I really hope this game is good, I do. This will be an issue if it isn’t addressed. A account bound freehold should only be able to be earned by ONE account, end of story! Guild halls and other group activities are another thing.

    Freeholds are a cruel joke! The majority of people who will play AoC want a Freehold. The majority of players will NEVER get a Freehold. Because of their high cost, the vast majority of Freeholds will belong to large guilds. Stop hyping a gameplay system that will NOT be available to over 90% of the players.

      Alpha 1 ticket holders, such as yourself, will get to begin testing in waves that will begin to be invited starting April 13, 2024, with Alpha 2 ticket allowed to trickle in in the following six to eight months after the servers are stable with 10K concurrent players.
