Sorry about the audio mix guys! The music wasn't that noticeable through my speakers 🥲 If you want to see the full interview, you can find it here! ua-cam.com/users/livezA7K6DL26DI?feature=share
I have waited so long, been through so much and yet never missed anything intrepid or anyone else uploaded on AoC since 2017. Watching it all back today is so wholesome and i cannot wait for a2 we are so close!! It will be the best birthday present ever for me 👯
I’d like to see a battle mechanic that changes the way you move and your action bar depending on which mouse key you press. So if you have no mouse key pressed then your general abilities are on the action bar like eating food, call mount and all your buffs,. When your character moves it’s just normal walking and when you press shift it toggles to sprint. When you press the right button, attack button, your player attacks and attacking actions come onto your action bar, you move with purpose and when you press the shift button you attack with aggression. When you press the left button, defence button, your player takes defensive stance and your defensive actions go on the action bar, you move with caution and when you press shift you get the F@#$ outa there. This would be so much better than pressing shift to change from primary to secondary action bar. Plus it would be high lag friendly.
Sounds like the project is led by the passion that Blizzard had during its inception and early days. There are loads of skilled developers out there, but having passion and skill in developers isn't enough, the leadership needs that as well and they need the project planning to focus and get it done and done well within scope. Make MMO's Great Again! Woot!
I am cautiously optimistic. The biggest worry for me has been the state of combat and animations. I think the combat and animations are very similar to Neverwinter which did not turn out to be winning formula. It seems like all western mmos in general suffer from a lack of imaginations when it comes to this area. I wish they went with a similar style to BDO combat albeit not as flashy.
Hahaha I didn't know Steven put a food truck outside blizzard, that is hilarious, what a gem. Great interview, stoked to hear more from PI gamers who have been under NDA. So damn epic haha
can you pls don't play metal music , can't focus on what you guys saying with metal in the background , we come here to listen to what you guys says not to hear music , thanks
Compared to what? All the other decades old MMO's? Please tell me any MMO in the last 5 years that people even give a shit about. Literally the most popular MMOs out right now are over 20 years old 🤣 Thrown in Liberty was made on ue4, Lost Ark was made with ue3, lumber yard is trash but apparently games being developed in UE 5 are somehow going to be outdated, okay buddy 🤣
@@TangentsofCreation Why are all the Ashes Content Creators always getting so defensive so quickly? Nobody is attacking you personally mate. I‘m obviously talking about fatigue due to people getting to know every little bit of content before release in a non-NDA alpha and not the technical side of things when I‘m saying that it‘s going to feel old. People consume content at a rapid pace these days and if they don‘t manage to release 1.0 within a reasonable timeframe, the hypelevels will slowly die down over time, which is the obvious trade-off when deciding for open development. It’s not a secret that a big part of the interest in new MMOs is the premise of an unsolved game, which is what this game is just not going to be able to offer. Will this hurt Ashes in a major way? We‘ll have to see, but historically it always did for other games.
If it was that obvious, my response would have been different, lol. Some of your concerns are valid but only to a certain extent. Ashes of Creation, despite having a dedicated community of MMO enthusiasts, remains largely unknown to the broader gaming audience. This can be evidenced by examining search trends and overall visibility. It's true that people may lose some interest during the Alpha phase, especially if they can't participate. However, this isn't necessarily a bad thing. Many players will return to see new updates and check in on the game's progress. This cycle of interest waning and resurging is pretty common in long-term game development. Moreover, the general public, who haven't backed the game, won't have early access, which can actually be beneficial. It should help to maintain a level of anticipation and excitement for when the game finally releases. Historically though, yes, games that manage to keep certain aspects under wraps tend to generate a significant amount of hype at launch. It should also be stated though that there are still planned NDA tests even during the A2 process. The open development approach does have its trade-offs. Some content might feel less fresh to those who have followed every update. However, Ashes of Creation is designed to offer a dynamic and evolving world, which can continuously engage players in new and unexpected ways. The unsolved game aspect isn't entirely lost, as the complexities and interactions within the game world will still provide plenty of mysteries and challenges. The success of this approach will really only be something we fully understand post-launch.
Sandbox MMOs survive off content that players make. Intrepid's job is to provide an engaging system. The rest is up to the players. I apologize that your generation didn't have any good sandbox games. I don't follow your outdated logic, as people still play an MMO that came out in 2004, and there are indie games made by ten people that look better than it.

It's been a long ride but we're almost to the most important phase of development and testing 🥹
Love to see Jamie gushing....hell, that's all of us!! Was a great stream!

ty for all the videos i am so hapy aoc is doing so good everyone got just positiv feedback
That's really the biggest take away, everyone who talked about it did it was fun and loved it and that things are in good hands.
some skills are very flashy and shiny. I just could not like that red block box wall
@@The-Dark-Tower the wall is a place holder animation.

Under our Tangents of Creation playlists we have four different interviews with PI!
I’m pumped
Main question is that how many more years do thy need? we are getting older, it is around +9 years of development already :D
It's been 7 so far. Most likely looking at another 2-3.
Nyce!
Why is this music backing the conversation the whole time? Its super distracting.
Thanks for watching! What platform are you watching on? TV, mobile, PC?
can you pls don't play metal music , can't focus on what you guys saying with metal in the background , we come here to listen to what you guys says not to hear music , thanks

@TangentsofCreation personally I enjoyed the music 🤘
I got the kickstarter braver of worlds... and thinking about puting the trigger on leader of men package... that's my last hope for mmo lol
Dude I'm with you, if Ashes fails I'm done with this genre lol
Man, AoC just really looks like WoW 2.0. Not fucking with the formula, just a nice classic MMO made by people who love the genre.
As it should be!
Compared to GW2 the PVP looks clunky. It seems to be missing that nebulous weight. Hopping should be punished and limited dodging rewarded.
Smite actually does this thing where you can't attack while hopping and that could be a nice counter to it.
Ashes is going to feel old and outdated by the time it finally releases, especially with a non-NDA Alpha that runs multiple years.
