4:12 You are correct! Knowing this is a true alpha test, the bones of the game feels like it has soooo much going for it. You can see the promise coming together
Despite being super scuffed around the edges, i'm extremely pleased with all the core design already in place that I got to test out this weekend. Can't wait for next weekend, hopefully with even more uptime! What a breath of fresh air to finally have a AAA company that actually cares about and plays their game.
I'm glad you had a good time. I saw you running around on the second day. It's been great to see most of the content creators, and it's wild how many of us picked the same server. It's amazing to think we will rarely see each other when there are 84 nodes. See you next weekend!
Archeage lovers know this style of grind. It’s such a solid Alpha coming from someone that has tested a bunch of MMO’s. It’s worth the wait. Let’s gooo!
@@iamisobe I played AA since I could sneak into beta. The combat system is closer than anything you can find right now albeit rough as it is an Alpha, the karma system while not like AA ( it is basically lineage’s) which imo is an improvement. When the servers weren’t being DDoS’d they were smooth for me. The classes actually have identity vs having what felt like 4 classes (even though technically they said over 100!) in AA because if you didn’t have certain skills you were basically trolling and didn’t perform like everyone else. World PvP is a little harsh on corruption for the test but is actually pretty fun and a great way to get resources. Oh and the devs aren’t trying to suck out your soul through your wallet so that’s a bonus. Not really sure what you mean by all fronts because that is basically all we are testing, but hey, I hope in time you’ll see that AA2 will most likely be vaporware or will be p2w garbage. Hopefully Intrepid continues the good work as for an early alpha, I for one am truly blown away.
@@imortulsoul No one mentioned AA2 you pepega. Ashes is trash and the combat is light years away from anything AA was. Theyre not even in the same league. Ill happily swipe for Erenor 10x, whales dont give a fuck about p2w.
Congrats on the new PC! I just rebuilt this year, sprung for the 4090. Glad I did now lol, I heard it performs excellently. I know the 4080 is right on its heels, so I'm sure you'll have no issues. Looking forward to jumping in on the 8th with y'all!
What I was happy to see was the quick response and communication from Intrepid on bugs and issues. Only reinforced my confidence that this project is going to succeed.
Got my hat, thank you so much. The DDOS was crazy. Won't stop Intrepid though. JamieKaos appointing a new mayor of Miraleth for a second time, Go Firebrand! Funny Times.
The basic attack feels good for mage imo. Having the deadly finisher combo attack that procs my deferent element debuffs, volatile, burn, chill, feels good for setting up abilities like putting chill on a target to freeze then hit a shatter combo, or volatile with the keen skill in wand tree to do a magic def debuff into a attack with 15% crit
Wow, literally opened youtube 1 minute after the upload Edit after watching the video: I agree on most of the things said Especially want to mention that for the first time when I played an online game - the game wasn't trying to hold my attention forever, wasn't trying to push me towards monetization, and it wasn't trying to get me to play it every day to do dailies and log off Instead it's a world that just... exists. It doesn't welcome you warmly, but if you choose to - you can be a part of it. Truly, the second home that many MMORPG players, myself included, can lose themselves in
Smashing it as always Vladus 🤘🏼. I really felt gutted for you in the stream. Glad it'll be sorted for you this weekend... I'll see you there on the 8th 😩
Good review. That DDOS sucked. What little I played, it was smooth. For your computer upgrade. Points of note. There have been some reports for problems with the 12 pin power connector for the graphics card. Make sure the plug is properly seated and not leaning to the side. Check to make sure the Intel Chip you got does not have the "rot" issues. The 1000w power supply should be enough for your rig. The RTX three fans graphic cards are HUGE. I got the two fan MSI 4070 and that barely fits into my full size Thor 2 Computer tower case.
I think i'll have to fix nighttime with shaders, kind of the curse of using an oled panel I suppose. Not very many games get black levels to a point where things don't look smokey.
I've seen people complain about small things missing like a LFG finder since Ashes is heavily catered to group based content so they quit because of that. Those are the same people Steven was addressing when he STRESSED MANY MANY times that this is not a completed game. And people called Steven silly for even needing to say that lol.
i expacted way worse tbh only anyoing thing was dead mobs still standing and they could maybe make those starter quests more understandable giving us little marker on ppl who we have to speak with insted of asking in chat for help everytime
it was a DDoS attack on their login service. 250million login requests in a span of 5minutes. They had to stop the playtest to fix the issue and they're still on it for this weekend.
I feel like you're being overly positive here. Yes, we can all agree on that it wasn't terrible across the board. But it wasn't "good" by any means. Still many gamebreaking issues.
@@imortulsoul nothing troll about reality. It's a barebones worthless POS and if this is what we got after 8 years dev time, there is zero reason to ever believe this will ever be a fraction of what Steven has claimed. Clown shoes everywherre yall are coping hard af it's sad to see.
I already fucking miss it.
Same!
It’s not over servers are open every weekend until December then are open 5 days a week and in may it should be everyday from what I understand
FINALLY .. a video that is not rage bait ... well done vlhad.. you're my go to for non biased aoc info

Huge weekend! Such a good test!
Tbh, the last 2 month of pre A2 have been servers….. it’s so much better now than the 1st 3 weeks. This game will be amazing at launch.

i LOVE Intrepid for been so quick for fixes. it gives me a lot of faith for the game.
Can't wait to see you stream the game!

even the ddos was valuable date xD
there is this one frame after "go give me a follow" and i cant capture it. xD
Even though you have quite a bit of hopium, you also have the best and juiciest info in regards to AoC. Keep it up!
i saw u in game it reminded of that one time i saw tom cruise walking down the street

I LOVED playing my bard over the weekend. Making new friends and working toward goals, holy hell the potential for this game is great!
Glad to hear your able to get a new PC dude
*Yuge success!!*

Don’t forget about a 4k OLED monitor with that top of the line PC. Difference is insane in terms of color and immersion.
can confirm
Cant wait to play it 5 days+ a week.

Let me back IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN I want to play :(
I do want Intrepid to give us a nice cosmetic shop. I'd love some Lost Ark style stuff.
Ddos’ing bastards ruining my playtime 😤

200million people?! How is that possible. 200mil x $250 is 50 billion dollars. Theres no way maybe 200thousand?
