Thx you for helping me find one of the best Guilds on sever!

52:30 - I'm not so sure how dark fantasy the setting really is with some of the cosmetic designs and "cute" mushroom enemies designs I have seen.

I like the idea of being to expand your skills, acquire a new archetype through immersive quests etc, also making the archetypes more flexible, such as pushing the tank into the direction of being more dps oriented.

Yall are a good example of creators talking to a small tribe with a big vision. Keep doing what you do. What do you think about Ashes community management being the biggest driver for yall to be successful?

Thanks for having Jibbs. Another great Vlhadus & Loreforged interview.

LOREFORGED Appreciate the Content.

In regards to low level master artisans. You could exploit that as a shield to ganking via being worth more corruption as a low level player, as opposed to a high level player being engaged by another high level player. So I'd argue that as a negative reason why artisan profession tiers should be limited by levels, or as another suggestion, have artisan level correlate with corruption gain, so a master artisan would only give as much corruption as killing a max level player even if they're low level, as to deter the possibility of an exploit.

You should start uploading these on your main channel. It would help with the numbers.

I honestly think this 100% PvP enabled isn't going to take off. I don't think any largely popular mmo has 100% PvP enabled, a Toggle at most.

I love last epoch skill tree as well. i just dont think they were understanding how you were trying to describe it. this is how i would have described it. every skill can be customized. imagine a X. and each skill is in the middle of the X and the branching out lines are different ways that that skill can be customized and at the end of each branch was a capstone augment for that skill

Woaaahhh Kash wants it rated R. 😂🤘

🤘🔥

*@**0:09:53** Looking at the maps, there are at least 18-22 Land biomes, and another 4-7 biomes for the Oceans and Seas, and the Underrealm.*

Well done. Fair points. Earned a sub.

In 10 years time world bosses will be AI, so who cares if some voice acting is done by AI?

I think you are going to find that if enough people take a bard augment, you may be able to do without a Bard, whose strength is probably going to be in resource bar management. I think a lot of people think "Holy Trinity" MMOs are all about managing damage, healing, and dps. But you do also have to manage aggro, crowd control, movement and your resource bars. DPS is still king in that the more DPS you do the less of everything else you need. I think you are going to find that you can get away with a lot of different builds, balancing gear, group compositions, consumables and augments.

Great one love his content

I'm also a knowledgeable casual and I'm also WolfheartFPS wolfpack fan. So i'll sub. My interest is the Class matrix mixing different clases into different archtypes. Summoner X Summoner!!

Coming over from Loreforged. Great show. Subbed. Keep them coming!

Please look the pvp at eso and make something like that but better

Thanks for having Vlhadus & perhaps even more importantly, thanks for getting me hyped for Ashes again!

love these podcasts, feels great to hear such interesting topics. I'm progressively getting more hyped about AoC man

The dps bias during the healer talk is real. Why should one dps be able to always destroy a healer one on one? Why shouldn't a healer literally be able to keep one person alive? Now if we add in healers doing damage I'm all for their healing being less effective. And that should be a choice clerics can make via spec/gear. But if a cleric goes healing, and specs healing, and gears for healing... Can you really expect that someone who specs fully to do damage, and someone who specs fully to heal, shouldn't come to a stalemate? I'm not saying the Cleric should win the fight and kill the rogue... but draw it to a stalemate and the rogue goes away? Sure.

LOVE THE CONTENT CREATORS IN THIS COMMUNITY

You think you are excited for those epic bard sounds. But I will have nightmares until the day I die from my constant songs as a bard in Archeage :(

Probably probably my favorite 1v1 I've listened to so far, Kash is definitely one of my top 3 ashes of creation content creators.

Anyone saying that Alpha 2 is any shorter than 2 years are coped out the wazoo. Does it sound reasonable for Intrepid to pump out a whole biome and all its content once a month? Even if we assume that we get 7 biomes at the start of A2, (which I massively doubt) that leaves 11 biomes unaccounted for, which released once a month would still take basically a year. Releasing one biome a month sounds absurd to me. I would still think that even one biome every 3 months sounds very generous but that pushes us all the way to 3 years in A2. I don't disagree with alpha burnout arguments and that it wouldn't look good if it goes down the Star Citizen route, but given that a couple months ago Steven said they were almost asset complete (not content complete) on 7 biomes absolutely does not inspire me to think that A2 is gonna be any shorter than 3 years hard minimum.

22:23 I agree and I actually think it’s better if it’s not. Everything that doesn’t make it from the kickstarter should come as free updates. And we use the Alpha to get a great core game out. 25:35 the problem is that everything will be out and on YT so the younger you take the more opinions will be made up along the way. It will be last epoch complete figured out and beat not long after launch. Everybody is over estimating the casuals attention spans. Only reason I’m not team 1 year is because combat is far off for that. 40:11 bad take 🤣

enjoy the content. the click bait is getting out of hand

I would think they would be included the bard during the node war .. we will see

Im really excited to see how they handle the bard. A true force multiplier like they were in EQ would mean you get a guaranteed spot in every group. I could really care less about their personal damage because that's what my team is for. As long as the buffs make up for whats lacking in dps ill be in love. From what Steven has described the bard in the past, it seems like you will be really engaged in combat to maintain short terms buffs so you won't be afk buff botting. Dark and darker also had a phenomenal bard in my opinion. A mixture of many types of buffs from move speed to damage and tankiness but you couldn't take them all so you had to customize based on your squad. They also had really cool utility from songs to open locks, invis your party or even speed up spell or hp recovery during rests.

Highly suggest Divine Order for anyone looking to get into a bit of everything in ashes. Bunch of cool people from every sort of background and hold weekly events, game nights, movie nights, etc to keep you occupied until we finally get this game. Neo is a really chill GM and the expectation is you get shit done and you participate, but not overbearing like some hardcore guilds I've been a part of. You will definitely enjoy your time here.

Because official wow is banned in China. If you look at Turtle wow (which isnt banned because its not official) it has 2 servers an oceanic server and rest of the world. The turtle wow oceanic server is packed! I will bet hard money if AOC is not banned in the big eastern countries the largest population in ashes will be Asian. Prove me Wrong...

I fear there will be a small amount of Divine Nodes. Most will be Scientific or Economic.

Cleric (primary)-summoner is shaman, where as summoner (Primary) is necro. Summoners can only have minions, and I wonder what utility a summoner could bring to the cleric. Like dnd cleric summmon pixies and have a party of Rex's.

The longer the seasons, the more they matter and it adds another layer of game play across multiple systems. It’s free content really. You will have an advantage if your first no matter how much we want it not to be 😂 That advantage is dependent on if it matters or not to you. Everybody will catch up eventually. So it’s not worth messing up your launch to keep up.

Vlahdus gaming 👍

What kind of guild are you running Vlhadus?

good node war discussion.

Haha! It's a full 3 years since Alpha One started. I think Alpha One ended in August 2021.

I tend to leave MMORPGs that have too much forced grouping. It's an MMORPG; not an MMO Grouping Game. There are should be lots of ways to be social in an MMORPG without being in a group. Which was part of what Fantm was saying about Nightingale. Ghostcrawler alluded to this as well in Episode 7 of Word On The Street: asynchronus social play. The example being like in Valheim where one player might Gather Resources for their offline buddies, who then use those Resources to Craft or Build when they finally come online. One thing I love about LEGO Fortnite and Nightingale is Cooking food that will provide survival stats for specific Biomes. Like a Spicy Burger that provides protection from freezing in the Arctic or a Snowberry Shake that provides protection from overheating in the Desert. I would love to RP as the Tavern Owner who Cooks and provides meals to Adventurers as they explore specific Biomes - even if I'm not grouping with them. Being Social and contributing significantly to the welfare of other players on the server should not be restricted to Grouping. And, then, finding other players should be easier if you can travel to their Open World home. In Ashes, you should know where the players who are online when you're online live. You also should not have to formally join a Group in order to protect your Village or Town from a natural disaster, like an earthquake, or from a Goblin Raid. In Ashes, everything you do in the vicinity of a Node contributes to the progression of the Node. Even when you're not in a group. Unless you're supporting a Siege in one fashion or another. MMORPG should not mean that you have to be in a Group. You can't progress a Node by yourself.

I hope most people will use their own critical thinking to decide whether they want to play a game, rather than just sheepishly hop on or off of a hype train. I stopped playing WoW after Cataclysm because I got tired of reaching the end of Questing in 6 weeks and then waiting 18 months for the next expansion. Once I was able to make this avatar I have for my UA-cam pic in Landmark in 2014 - I pretty much will only play RPGs that allow me to make a character who looks like me. Which is another reason I would not play WoW until Shadowlands. The Shadowlands story was different enough to entice me to continue playing. And... I love the Dragonflight gameplay. Doesn't matter to me how many people complain about WoW. I either enjoy it or I don't. I'll try stuff I'm pretty sure I won't like just to play with Fantm or Neuro. But... if I don't like it, I'll be done with it in a few weeks. Neuro and the DOP Crew love playing Destiny 2 and Star Citizen. That's not enticing me to play. I think I can say that Fantm seemed to enjoy Bitcraft for a while - didn't look enticing enough for me to enjoy playing it... yet. Hopefully most people are not sheep or lemmings.

I don't think it can be as simple as, "If the world is beautiful, people will keep playing." All UE5 games have beautiful worlds. That does not mean that the game will have the gameplay an individual is hoping for. I don't play RPGs for the combat. I'm typically wanting to use my character skills to avoid combat as much as possible because I'm a Carebear. So, most likely any MMORPG I play will have to have other compelling activities for my character to do besides just great combat. That being said... Even though I'm typically a Carebear, the garotting animations in KOA: Reckoning for the Rogue/Thief was so over the top graphic - I truly felt like a Stealthy Rogue/Thief and loved Sneaking up on stuff and slitting throats. And it's definitely fascinating to me when a game can signifcantly change my Carebear playstyle. The main challenge I see for Ashes is that there will be many other UE5 games competing with Ashes by the time Ashes releases. When Ashes was planned to release before 2020, those of us who typically play on PvE-Only servers thought we might have to compromise with "PvX" in order to play the next great MMORPG. But, now there will be other UE5 MMORPGs available with good combat where we don't have to compromise as much with the PvP. Plus, WoW as added options since 2022 that has me back to playing WoW after a hiatus of 10 years. And I enjoy playing New World - especially via the Battlepass. And I enjoy playing LEGO Fortnite - especially via the Battlepass and Seasonal Chapters. And I enjoy playing the Nightingale Early Access. And I love, love, love the design for Ghost - with no hint yet of a need to compromise by tolerating non-consensual PvP of any kind. My expectation is that Ashes will be very niche because it's designed very specifically for Steven's playstyle, rather than having a broader target audience. I think Casual-Challenge players and Casual-Time players will be playing other MMOs. And those other MMOs will also have beautiful environments and good combat.

Fantm was a little off when it comes to my Ultimate Carebear Challenge at launch: Not just no PvP... 0 Kills 0 Gathering And minimal progression - just whatever xp comes from exploring. The primary goal being to explore the entire map with the lowest possible Level and 0 Kills. But, I will be testing everything during the Alphas and Betas. I hope most content creators are able to give feedback like, "This does not suit my playstyle, but it should be great for gamers with a different playstyle." Just because I don't like drinking coffee doesn't mean that I have to advise others to avoid drinking coffee.

But, in Ashes, you aren't stuck in the Starting Zones until you reach a specific Level. The entire world is at Starting zone in terms of available content, until Nodes begin to progress. You can immediately leave the Starting Zones at Level 1 - you are not going to end up running into a Level 20 Zone until some Nodes reach Stage 2 or Stage 3. At that point, there will be Nodes locked at Stage 0, Stage 1 and Stage 2. And newbie players can travel to those Nodes instead of adventuring in the Starting Areas. Also, we can freely choose the Starting Area we enter from Character Create, so we can plan which Stage 0 or Stage 1 Node we want to travel to once we enter the world.

Because it’s a thing and there isn’t anything to stop them. Big guilds are 100% going destroy environments. And force the issue

I think ppl miss describe their opinion about the graphics about AOC In my opinion, they dont really talk about "graphic outdated" but they more don't like the graphic artistic direction that they don't like and feel old not unique and recognisable immediately

"How will the fighter x cleric look like?" - Imagine it like a fighter with life absorption like vampiric and other restoration abilities on impact like splashing small heals on the battle front

I would think a Node war being declared by the Mayor is a Policy that the Citizens of the node get to vote on. Of course there's that ability to bypass the vote with enough Mayoral Points (I forget the term). Either way, without the points you're not enacting a Node War Policy, so that you can do it "At Any Time" is a true but has parameters. You must have enough points for the policy and your citizens must agree to the policy (Unless you're willing to spend to bypass the vote (If you have enough points to do so)). So it's not like you can just declare war on a new node every week, you're going to destroy your node's progress, cause you're going to run out of points to spend on other policies.
