Im 100% playing this as soon as Alfa Phase 3 comes out, and server’s will be live 24/7… I’ve waited 9 years for this moment, I was a teenager, now I’m a grown ass man, I gotta play this lmao
was looking forward to it but it looks like a cash grab mmo and the devs have no idea wtf they are doing... it looks bad af. For 8y dev even tho its in alpha it just looks like they started a few months ago...
Yup, and the system's complexity of AOC is nothing like older MMos. Intrepid got defaults, but it's too easy to say everything is trash. some gamers are just boring with their frustrated opinion
bdo (not thats is a good game these days) made from 2010 to 2014. with no real budget. smaller team, own engine, better combat 4 years... yep they indeed made it 6 years unreal engine 5 aaaand its not looking good. big props having a baseline mmo with baseline features. wonder how long it will take to make it playable and fair. mmo's are top tier difficulty and everyone would agree, but if u make big claims u gonna make sure to deliver & thats what they failed on big time as expected though
there were a lot of wow brains on display among streamers trying this out. so many seem lost without their questie addon, "!" quest npc markers or bloody ingame GPS xD The most informative stream I found during this first weekend was Pirate Software (by a mile!) from 8:45. Really interesting watching him with his perspective as both former QA and current game dev and publisher. I also saw few others consistently reporting bugs.
It wasn't just WoW streamers who were lost, most people (including PirateSoftware btw) just gave up on questing because of how shit it was and just ended up farming mobs in groups to level. Im excited for the game and i love the game but the questing does suck and that's valid criticism from any gamer.
This is the most fun ive had in years on an MMO. This game mixes Runescape's freedom with Lineage 2's leveling, large scale pvp, and crafting. Amongst other unique mechanics and systems. I played Thrones and Liberty for a couple days and didnt have nearly as much fun as this Alpha 2 test.
It amazes me how many of these clips are moments that I've watched live on Twitch. Makes me wonder if I've been consuming too much AoC content this past weekend!
@@TheNEPTY LMAO, Wow is THE hand holdy mmo. Even classic. You're comparing classic to retail, but classic was the most casual hand holdy mmo when it came out. That's why it was popular. Classic Wow holds your hand every step of the way.
The Head Dev, Steven S it's 6 years and I've been a known whale on Archeage this whole time and I'm sitting on 10 million dollars from this promised mmo that I said could be made in record time. shoot, I'll hire some college students to throw together from crap alpha in 2 years(8yrs into development) so I can honor my obligations and release some trash to fail one day around 2033. but let's let their actions speak They are charging $120 for access to the start of alpha 2, or $110/$100 for "phase 2/phase 3. The purchase does not come with anything like game time at launch, cash shop currency, etc, just alpha access. In fact, it doesn't even include beta access, you'll presumably have to pay again for beta. In their own words, the product is still in a very early state and not really a playable game yet, so you "shouldn't buy it if you want access to a game". These actions speak for themselves
@@mokeish This is not true, It does come with game time at launch and cash shop currency. and it does include beta access... Maybe do literally any research before making a misleading comment. You are paying 120$ for AT LEAST over a year of being able to play and test an Alpha game which is cheaper than any other subscription MMO. Not saying this game is good right now but at least spread correct information.
@@Touchin-Grass and ur house of cards if really getting ddosed, you enjoy that 200$ "alpha" with those special conspirators attacking it. a sucker is born every minute, don't be part of the problem assisting a scammer who cant even admit when his test fell apart
@@mokeish Actually, the $120 package does in fact come with one month of gametime and some in game currency for cosmetics. And it also includes beta access. You have not done proper research.
Every time I stumble across one of these in my recommended it reminds me how much I have come to despise content creators the last few years and I'm someone who used to consume streams daily since the Jtv days up until like 2018 or so.
best thing about ashes sitting in a que for 4 hours during the alpha to then experience the worst alpha test ive ever been in and i waited 7 years for this lol,like the skill and combat is a mixture of tab/ real time combat so its interesting, but if your not in a party atm trying to get kills for your quest is hard as if you do not get the first hit the kill wont count towards your quest
@@hangman5918 you have no idea what you are talking about. Sure if you wanted to be 3k+ opening week ya had to pay2win but now f2p players are 3k. Just get good

I'm just here ready to hear and read people defending this while complaining about Star Citizen. If this is 9-12 years in and this is the state of the Alpha. I mean. If people complain about SC yet compliment this. We have reached peak hypocrisy. But I will stay for the memes.
@@Odyssey636 I'm not defending either. You tell me the difference between both games reaping in money both being in development 10+ and both being in an unfinished state. I would however argue that SC is in a better state now. Putting the financial aspect aside. But explain to me how AoC is any different? 10 years development and the alpha if you put your bias for MMOs aside is just bad. My point is nobody can legitimately make a solid argument complimenting AoC while hating on SC. Both have yet to actual deliver what is promised.
Random commenter says statement. Believes statement is 100% fact, too braindead to any research braindead commenter stays braindead. Just do some research and you might answer your own question, and not say something in some comments that isn’t factual information.
lmfao what is this god shiii. get this Adobe flash game outta my face hahah the fact that all these MMO weirdos out here straight up lying to themselves is actually sad.
Players have waited 8 years to play this Alpha 2 version 🤣indeed it is funny, now thy will ask players to get Alpha 3-4 preorders to get access to complete the mmo within the next ten years.
Imagine having payed to play alpha 2. Im glad NDA is lifted because now my hype is completly gone. It looks so bad, so outdated and so clunky. Yes its alpha 2 but to fix this, if they can fix it, it will take years. So glad we finally can see behind the curtain and realize that all the footage we got so far was obviously fake and not part of the actual game because this looks so much worse than everything i have seen so far.
not even star citizen, chronicles of elyria. ppl are willing to pay anything for the worst stuff. sad to see the money burn. but it is what it is. people are rich for a reason while others arent.
@Adam0193Official 8 years in development for this crap is bad news...why the hell players paying $500+ to help test the games for them? Even if its not a scam, it'll be another 8 years to be decent at this rate, but it'll prob be outdated again.
This is not an example of an early access game, this is an example of someone who spread a bunch of money out on the internet trying to change the narrative of a rip off crapfest. that charges 200 bucks, early access is many times better then this, don't let anyone conflate the narrative gamers.
Bro this is not an illuminati plant its a passion project. YOURE GETTING IT TWISTED. Not the other way around. Alot of things in the west right now are exactly what youre trying to put out. This game obviously isnt. Now if you want to convince us, convince yourself first. What about this game is conflating the narrative? What exqctly is the narrative? This undertaking takes way too much money, its a huge project. If the well is starting to run dry what should they do? Just stop developing the game at 70%? 😅 I get youre a critical thinker but your conspiracy nutt is just looking for things to latch on to. Which I completely understand though do you.

After programming for 6 years I can conclude that making an mmo is insanely hard. People forget that they aren’t in a rush like blizzard were for wow.

wasnt the character creator they showed like almost a year ago way more detailed?
