Love your content man. It really is a breath of fresh air. Extremely well edited, no click baits, intelligent and based claims using actual information. No pandering to anyone. Great work and thanks for what you do.
As always, the effort you put into your videos is awesome! Digging through old dev talks to find the relevant info really made a difference. Great job!
This game is for: 1. Twitch zerg vs zerg 2. Pve can zerg too btw 3. Slaving for your city-guild-race as the main and very enforced mechanic 4. Trading, it's kinda weird,but 5. Caravan simulator is king 6. Pets breeding for stats/looks 7. Crafting This game is Not for: a. Solo b. Dumb fun c. Lofi / relax/ chill d. Theme park/quests e. Loot grind My conclusion: it's a zerg sim in the fantasy woods What am i missing, Doc?
still remember stopping in SW to look at the main tank of a very good guild while i was a kid leveling and changing classes everyday, everyday he was around the same Blacksmithing spot, we looked up to great geared players, now everyone is the same
I think I'm going to avoid the most popular nodes, and instead find a far away, low-tier node to settle down in, and build a community from the ground-up that way. I think that's one of the really beautiful things about the node system that people haven't been talking about but you touched on here: there's value in the smaller stories that aren't tied to the massive clashes of power that the top% of players are going to be drawn to. Even if they do dominate the top tier play, there's nothing forcing you to engage with it, and there's plenty of fun to be had away from it.
Amen to that “I don’t want to see your whale gear” option. Very much looking forward to all the adventures we will have around these beautiful node towns and cities with my fellow guildies in Black Talon and everyone I will meet dynamically in the world of Verra
I was under the impression that the cosmetics didn't become wearable until you had obtained that type of gear in-game, then you could apply your unique design that that type. But that might have changed over the last couple of years.
@@JonBondgsr It's based on tiers which is better than what most other MMOs do. The issue though is when everyone is max level the tiers aren't as significant. It's not a huuuge deal to me though. Thanks for your comment!
Absolute banger of a video, thanks Doc. Also, FWIW, while I might have dabbled in PvP, I used to think of myself as a PvE'er... until Ashes of Creation came along. The writing on the wall was in big neon lights, to say the least. Glad to see someone else could read it 😁
Thanks for putting this together, lots of great info and I totally agree with your cosmetics and vertical power progression opinions. Fingers crossed that end game crafted gear looks better or more unique than purchasable cosmetic gear 😭
So without spilling the beans and making so all the fav creators can be on one server, how tf will we band the copium dealer, the copium clinic, the sticybard, some nyce gamer, no1 important, and a trio of loreforging maniacs in one place?!
You can also become a mercenary without a home Node. Keep traveling around the world, selling your services to the highest bidder, circle the entire world and sell loot from your travels.
After watching this I notice that half your viewers will miss the subtle hint that we should secretly invest in pitchforks in order to corner the market when scenarios like this regarding node sieges happen.
i agree with the skins bit for sure, and also the option to turn off skins haha, but like you said intrepid needs to make money so that's where i get it and it does not bother me to much. Not long now mate and we will be in.
A really good video there good sir Dr. Burns. The geopolitics will be insane I tell you and the server news channels will be just that icing on the cake on knowing how each server is doing.
Personally I like the idea of having to progress to a certain point (visually or otherwise) before you can use the cosmetics but.. it is not my fault if the best version of a wildling princess-monoke wolf fur transmog with accompanying antler-bow is a shop cosmetic and that's just how i have to get what i want. It's not for pomp its literally just my favorite aesthetic ._. (This is an example base on diablo 4s rogue transmog. Nothing else in the game looks remotely like it and its beautiful.. just shameless gatekeeping on blizz's part.)
Wow! Finally i meet some1 with the same opinion about cosmetics (Armor Skins) as i do! noone ever understood that and always were " wow look how amazing i am looking" "yeah, but that's fake -.-) We have filters on photos but are ok on filters on our chars? 👿 Gz Man, nice vid 😊
Thanks Soul! Yeah I'm totally fine if other people want to look a certain way. I just don't see why I have to pretend along with them that their armor looks better than it actually is.
In regards to cosmetic i do agree with you there however i would like to see an option to turn other players off with the exception of in towns/freeholds so people can show off there money/flaunt i guess in there. When it comes to PvP though u kinda wanna see what there wearing visually alot of the time especialy when it comes to determining if it heavy or light armor. I realy hope nodes cities are all built in a unique terrain so node wars feel different on basicly all nodes, in cave with tunnels going to it, up platues in tabletop mountain with a rope bridge on one side across a ravine when node levels up to x level. Some cities should be more defendable with a trade off of maybe less building plots or less policies or bad location, where an open field node with little to no natural defences might get a bonus with either great location or more building space or something.
Really impressed how you have caught up to the vision and progress of AoC so fast. Your first content was a little rough, but this was excellent! I don't think I will be involved into Alpha/Beta Key, so I hope, you can keep me up to date through testing. Things like the procedural drawing tool is why I am so optimistic for a 2025 release. Once they have the game working functionally, content will be easier to generate than a theme-park MMO. My strategy is going to be to create a religious node, and create a religion that has desirable augments, then convert the entire server to that religion. If anyone toasts the node they weaken everyone on the entire server and shoot themself in the foot or the knee 🤭.
Actually, Albion Online has a built-in function to turn off the cosmetics while out of town, or at all! It is critical to see, what the opponents are wearing =) So, hope AoC will have the same option =)
Option to turn off people’s cosmetics is genius. It sucks that gear progression gets hidden visibly by cosmetics. Used to be a badge of honor to have certain gear equipped and people would flaunt that over some random cosmetic
Can't be looking like a dream board outfit either though as you have 34 different sets going on at one time as you progress. That just looks shitty. Compromise: Dyes so at least it's somewhat coordinated.
Interesting point on the masses of disgruntled players rising up to over-throw an oppressive Node via the Node Siege, essentially zerging it down. However with the talk of these "big guilds", e.g. Pirate Software has 12k members in their discord, yikes! What is to stop those mega-guilds from absolutely steamrolling the entire realm? (A realm is a collection of servers that make up the entire map/world of Vera)
You know, without the failings of New World, I probably wouldn't appreciate the direction Intrepid is planning to take Ashes with their node and war systems nearly as much. So I guess I can give them credit for something, right? Lol.
I once made a reddit post saying tmog was ruining games because it makes gear less impactfull and I recieved like 27 down votes on reddit which is by a large margin more than any other post. But I fully believe tmog is ruining mmos. Even in trash gear I was happy with how I looked compared to noobs. Than when I had bis I felt like a god. Now with tmog I can't tell if someone is a noob or a god and it feels way worse to earn gear when tmog looks better. I am also in your boat but I feel our boat is sinking since everyone wants instant gratification now.
I couldn’t find you in the Ashes discord. You can find me by going to “community media” and scrolling up to one of the videos I’ve posted. I have a Mr Burns avatar.
I got a fever! And the only prescription, is more copium! By the by, I fully agree with you about cosmetics. Visual progression is, in my opinion, one of the most important aspects of MMOs. But I get that with gaming being what it is these days, somethings gotta give to keep the lights on.
@@TheCopiumClinic I will be for A2 because of no OCE servers for it might be able run some late night caravans for you ;) . but I go where my guild goes (Project Anvil) might luck out and land on the same server.
I'll I hope for is that casuals can be competitive. I know that makes people mad for some weird reason but it will decide the fate of the game in the end.
Based on the type of vertical progression we know of, I think a skilled casual will still be able to beat an unskilled hardcore. I agree though and that'll likely be a big point of my feedback in A2.
I understand youre cosmetic point but remember how good gear looked once and now they offer complete dog ass so u need to use transmog :D other than that all good fam
I dont agree with your "i would pay extra to turn off cosmetics". I think the cat is out the bag now, if a game launches with cosmetics and they add a feature to turn them off for a monetary transaction, you are effectively get a pay 2 win advantage over others by being able to scout enemies at range and give possible build information before ingaging in combat based on possible gear combinations and then act accordingly, other players without this cant do it so its pay 2 win, thats before we get into the ethical dilemma of selling a product on a premise then undermining that premise by selling an option to turn it off, some people buy things to 'flex' and you are essentially taking their reason for purchasing previously away, i personally think thats grounds for a refund of any cosmetics. This will create a huge problem not solve a small one.
To my knowledge aoc cosmetics are on a per piece basis. Meaning you can't transmog your lvl 1 gear into the sets you bought for 250$. The same way only the people who have their own freehold can use a freehold cosmetic. So you technically keep the visual progression, hopefully. But honestly I agree on the cosmetics, they are a cancer of modern gaming.
Not the instanced dungeon crowd 😭. I don’t know how the hiding all cosmetics would work lol, is every cosmetic now just a dunce cap? Always using node 1 footage 🤣 super vindicated. Massive 5Head Dr
Hate to break it to you, but people who don't pvp will never pvp. I dont like it. it's boring to do, and a waste of my time. I dont play pvp in any games that have it. Someone can be good at pvp but suck at a raid boss or mechanics ill pick the person who can do mechanics every single time bc a boss is not a player, dgaf what your pvp rank is if you cant down a boss your wasting my time and everyone elses time.

This game is for:
1. Twitch zerg vs zerg
2. Pve can zerg too btw
3. Slaving for your city-guild-race as the main and very enforced mechanic
4. Trading, it's kinda weird,but
5. Caravan simulator is king
6. Pets breeding for stats/looks
7. Crafting

a. Solo
b. Dumb fun
c. Lofi / relax/ chill
d. Theme park/quests
e. Loot grind
My conclusion: it's a zerg sim in the fantasy woods
