Want to thank everyone in our community for their support and patience. Each day our glorious developers work night and day to bring Ashes to life, and we do it because we love seeing your response, excitement and feedback for the home we all want to live in. Continue to give your feedback to us, and together we will make this world come alive. Much love to you all
@@BlackStarr007 that's crazy talk. Be as excited as you want. Support the projects and devs who are building things that excite you. Just don't board the hype train and begin expecting things they were never said or promised. Comparisons get made and then the hype spreads like wild fire and like GW2 it just couldn't live up to the unreasonable expectations people had. The hype doomed it to fail in people's minds. It doesn't keep GW2 from being one of the best mmos still to date. But to say never be excited for anything... what a sad existence that must be. As far as not pre-ordering, that's a given. It hasn't made sense to me ever sense games went digital. Unless you're getting some limited edition or something theres no reason not to wait for reviews you trust. Steven at intrepid has even urged people not to back the game unless they really want to support the project. They are fully funded to release.
@@BlackStarr007 If what you've seen so far doesn't get you excited, then your expectations are probably unreachable. I agree that you have no idea what you may dislike about a game until playing it, but there is so much to be excited about in just the graphics, the environment, the detail, and the ambience alone.. the list is huge.
So much love and passion into this upcoming MMO project! I absolutely love the music, the ambient sounds, weather transitions, and THE WIND! Jeez, when is A2 again?!?!!
Props to the sound design team btw, in many many many MMOs the ambiance is almost neglected, often quiet and covered up by background music. If we can hear the natural surroundings to the point we can almost feel it, then you know you're on the right track! Hoping one day I could log in and journey from node to node just listening to a menagerie of different sounds from wind-swept dunes to bird songs of a magical forest.
This looks amazing. The switch to UE5 and just the time your artists have had to bake in assets for A2 show a huge huge improvement over alpha 1. Some of those shots could be the concept art. Keep up the phenomenal work and take the time you need to deliver us a real gem.
@@SuperDFX The only cringeworthy thing around here is your apathy and lack of understanding. Perhaps it's temporary - I suggest you comment again after a nice nap
Glorious, the work the Intrepid team is putting into this game literally has made me cry. I've been following this game from its infancy and to see all these marvelous things, breath taken. We love you. Thank you for not calling things good enough.
Absolutely stunning. I can not wait for this game, this is breath taking and I am so stoked games are not only at this point, but that Ashes is incorporating so many systems to bring us the cutting edge. Your teams should be immensely proud, and this is still in Alpha haha. Amazing.
I've been extremely excited for this game since day one. I'll admit, I'm impatient and ready to play it, but as a fellow software developer, I know exactly how much time and effort this takes and I am extremely appreciative on how much love and care your devs are putting into this game. Yes, I'm ready for this game to release, but I'm more than willing to continue waiting for what looks like a potential masterpiece. It looks incredible so far, y'all are doing great work, keep it up.
@@decoraven825 The most optimistic yet thoughtful estimate I have seen is the end of this year, my estimate is mid to late 2023, others are more pessimistic/realistic. I personally am impressed by their relentless focus and avoidance of scope creep.
Absolutely stunning. I really loved the antlers changing color with the season. Very creative, and excellent execution. As always, the music is really magnificent.
This looks fantastic, I hope there will be fire and smoke "weather effect" where e.g. a town , ships or forest is burning and everything is full of red smoke and you can only look so far, and of course rain of ashes
As a Canadian I love how you guys capture the fall to winter change that occurs on the ground. A lot of people don't understand how when winter hits the ground freezes and grass doesn't just get covered or die from the cold it gets frozen from underneath. The ground literally freezes and you capture that well at the tree scene in the end, beautiful. I wonder if winter will effect gathering that effects digging or anything might be too much but a cool idea.
Just imagine this, while you are walking in a bright sunny day, a random frost king dragon flew by and the weather just shifted along with the dragon when it spawned, now that's awesome! Now think about a dimensional Dragon that destroys the fabric of the game, all weather mixed up to create an apocalypse atmosphere! Cant wait!
What a awesome presentation. Blown away each time I watch it. Kudos and hats off to everyone at Intrepid for putting their heart into this project! It DEF shows! Can't wait for Alpha 2, it can't come soon enough!!!!!!
I get butterflies and that electric wave running through my body everytime I see an update and Steven in the comments, I can not express how addictive his passion is and how it seeps into the community affecting everything he touches. It's amazing to see this game come to life and to see the devs and director himself speaking with us, this kind of communication is missing these days and I CAN NOT WAIT for alpha 2. Alpha one had so much potential. Love you and your work intrepid, please keep delivering that electric shock.
Wow. Just wow. I can’t help but get excited for this world. I’ve been disappointed so many times I fear to get my hopes up anymore. I think that the amount of time and love you pour into this world is much better then rushing and meeting a deadline. I understand your trying to stick to a schedule, but please take all the time you need to make sure your ready for every step!
This is moving and breathtaking. Only thing amiss to perfection, is to have the standing water showing raindrops. Also changing it's surface when it's windy. I hope that gets added! If going for an immersive environment, it needs to be there, or it'll be "off" in an uncanny valley way. Maybe it's already there, but not showing in the video.
Absolutely amazing work. A truly big undertaking to implement this kind of system with cross-overs to so many other aspects of the game, but the end result will bring so many ongoing interesting dynamics that will make the world feel a lot more interconnected if it works out. Looking forward to seeing more!
Omg those gentle windbreezes and those birds chirping makes me feel completely relaxed! If this game can do that to me then this is a whole new level of immersion for me! The AoC team is so talented! Much respect for all of you!
Absolutely gorgeous... it looked pretty good before UE5 but this is a whole new level of immersion. Looks like the devs have a firm grasp of the new tools!
@@AshesofCreation indeed! you have already done seriously amazing work even before UE5. Honestly. I want that feeling of my first MMO experience back and I have faith guys!!
Where can I find the song in this?? It is blowing my mind… been playing these last few days over and over, can’t express the chord it is hitting in my soul right now 😳 wow
Been following this for years and the steady progress is so nice to see. I think it's good that you're being innovative with your designs, because while people may not re-experience their first mmo, they can definitely still have that brand new experience coming into this game.
Just that stuff like this is put into existence makes me feel great. Content of this sort makes me feel appreciative of people working on projects like this. Enjoying the vibes during the streams, looking forward to the next one. I wouldn't mind if these streams would continue even while the actual game is live, honestly.
This looks so incredible I've never seen anything like it. The environment the Animals, the sounds, the lighting, the atmosphere, it is outstanding and everyone who worked on it did an amazing job! Thanks for bringing us a step closer to the game this community wants and deserves, Thank you. I am looking forward to finally step into this world and explore every single stone and water drop. I have a small question though. When, for example, some ice or snow spawns over time what happens if a player is standing on top of, or right next to it? After watching the video for some times (maybe a bit too often) I was wondering about the Dragons AI in minute 1:00 (upper right corner). I can’t quite put the finger on it, but the flying behavior looks a bit off to me... It’s crazy what unimportant and small details you notice when everything is so perfect. Love you AoC Team, please keep up the great job! :)
I seriously can't wait! This is a game I've been sharing with my previous group of guild/company members and I'm waiting for this to come out so we can reunite and play an MMO together again!
1st this is absolutely awesome and amazing to see. I am very excited for what's to come. I have not been able to find an MMO home since FF 11 Old school. 2nd some feed back for you guys. I know everything is still a work in progress but to me the only thing that stood out as a negative or Meh was the hair on the animals. Im sure this will be addressed but like i said that the only bit of detail that pulled my eyes from what ever else was going on. It was consistent from the bears to all the animals. Other than that nothing drew my eye from the great stuff you guys are making. So excited for this and cant wait.
This looks great! However, I can see at 00:44 that the rain drops doesn't create ripple effects on the pond. Probably because its early iteration. Goodluck, yall doing great so far.

Keep up the amazing work!
steven we love you and the intrepid studio team
You’re the best!!!
Continues to excite.
This looks incredible and is seriously impressive. I've never been so excited for an MMO.
Just imagine that animals will behave differently due to seasons! It's fantastic!
Has not Cyberpunk 2077 taught you anything? ......never get excited for game till AFTER the release, oh and don't preorder either!

The music and ambience is really special. I can’t wait to get lost in this
@@pd9935 Completely agree!! its so nice and soothing to listen to! =)
Thank you for the kind words, friend! We are working hard towards our Alpha Two milestone and appreciate your patience as we do so. 🤗
The changing colour and thickness of the fauna's fur depending on the seasons is amazing

Fantastic audio is such an important part of feeling immersed in an online world! Our audio team is truly magnificent. 🥰

The way it was composed was art in itself.
This actually made me tear up a bit with how hopeful i get with this game
same tho, this game has so much potential
Same. 😭 😊
Relying on a game to fulfil your emotional needs. Cringe mate.
@@SuperDFX The only cringeworthy thing around here is your apathy and lack of understanding. Perhaps it's temporary - I suggest you comment again after a nice nap
@@wampatan9 Well said.
The ambient sounds, the wind and everything could literally solve my sleeping problems. Amazing work as always.
haha until the game comes out and we never sleep 🤣

You play MMO games to sleep?

I'm blown away! I look forward to testing in Alpha 2. Keep up the great work Intrepid!

Alpha 2, take your time but hurry up! I cannot wait to be immersed in this world!
You're right. Now I'm rethinking whether I should wait for Beta, or lay down the cash this year for Alpha 2.
Dates for alpha 2?

This made me cry 😭 so beautiful and the music has so much emotion!
This is so beautiful, I want to be on Verra now, experiencing all these seasons.
Yas so many seasons to enjoy Pizza in!
During the Kickstarter I had fairly low expectation, but what I'm seeing now is very impressive. Nice work!
Damn, the music, the graphics. It's majestic.
Looks incredible, the soundtrack here......gave me chills and really tied everything together. Fantastic Ambience.
Absolutely stunning. I really loved the antlers changing color with the season. Very creative, and excellent execution. As always, the music is really magnificent.
it is okay to cry boys. One day we will explore this world together
Pog
Shout out to all the devs working on this, I honestly think this is a masterpiece in motion
The environment and weather look incredible! The amount of work going into this game is mind boggling.
*This made me so happy!*
*Thank you Steven!*
I haven't owned a pc for quite a few years. This is bringing me back to pc gaming - thankyou.
It's just incredible what you've got going on. Thank you for your great work ❤
I'm blown away how beautiful that is. Not just from a pure technical side of view but also the composition, colors, objects.. really really good!
Top notch! I hope the lore and Quest scene walks right next to how beautiful this world looks!
Keep up the good work!
This looks fantastic, I hope there will be fire and smoke "weather effect" where e.g. a town , ships or forest is burning and everything is full of red smoke and you can only look so far, and of course rain of ashes
This is gorgeous. And loving the fantasy creatures. Amazing work.
this is breath-taking. all thats left are insects and birds flying in the distance. then you have it.
I still just can't get over how beautiful the music is...
🎵💕
Chills. Incredible stuff. Give your music person a raise.
As a Canadian I love how you guys capture the fall to winter change that occurs on the ground.

It truly is the minor details that make the largest of differences. Seasons will affect the availability of gatherables. 👨🌾 🧺
Just one world : AWESOME !
Thank you for putting so much passion into your project, what a wonderful world this will be!
My heart is pounding on my chest. This game brings me so much excitement ❤️❤️
00:50 eyyy that looks like my heavily modded Skyrim! I can't wait for the next public public beta of AoC. Outstanding work, guys!
Just imagine this, while you are walking in a bright sunny day, a random frost king dragon flew by and the weather just shifted along with the dragon when it spawned, now that's awesome! Now think about a dimensional Dragon that destroys the fabric of the game, all weather mixed up to create an apocalypse atmosphere! Cant wait!
This was a great stream, some wonderfully talented people at the studio and their work shows it!

I absolutely love this, this looks astonishing, the world looks so alive and gorgeous!

STUNNING
This will be the greatest MMO of all time.
Truly next gen! Not just changes in the weather and nature but on the animals and creatures too. Amazing.
This is dream come true.
Gorgeous!!! cant wait to play
2:38 looks so good in 4k the best thing ive seen
OMG The amazing things you are doing! I am so looking forward to this game.
I have never seen such good aestethics since the GW2 release, whoever was inspired by that, good job!
My jaw legit hit the floor. The transitions are absolutely chef's kiss. Bravo.
Did you saw guys on stream ... what beautiful skills that troll had , that teleports...shheeeeesh!
Where can I find the song in this?? It is blowing my mind… been playing these last few days over and over, can’t express the chord it is hitting in my soul right now 😳 wow
Every time I lose the hype about the game, they upload something that hypes me up again. Holy shit, this looks gorgeous!
3 of the 4 seasons look fantastic and truly next gen. I think the snow textures on the ground need some improvements.
The music/effects and the landscapes are BEAUTIFUL. I love it.

Wow, this is a heck of a tech showcase! Absolutely beautiful!
Thanks Levi!
@@AshesofCreation Hey, thanks to your team, they did amazing work!
Looks amazing ! love the polar bears eyes at 1:22 when it is looking down. Reminds me of the beasts from Five nights at freddie's :P
I'm crying so much it's beautiful !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Soundtrack just amazing. Hope u will succeed with this game and it's become a masterpiece for years.
I can't stop watching this. It's absolutely beautiful!
I seriously can't wait! This is a game I've been sharing with my previous group of guild/company members and I'm waiting for this to come out so we can reunite and play an MMO together again!
🤗💕 Friends who slay together stay together.
When I heard the sound of the birds, at first I thought it was coming from my yard. But then I was like, oh its coming from a video:)
Impressive!
Looks AMAZING.
Looks incredible guys. Can't wait to hear about the game from my grandkids in 30years time.
Thank you so much Steven and team!
THIS IS WHAT AN MMO SOUNDS LIKE BABY!
please do not make this game to fail !!! i love this game so much ,can't w8 for it to come live
I wanted to call attention to the music, which is phenomenal.
🤗💕
Looks amazing, thanks intrepid
I like the rain and this reminded me of when I use to workout in it or how the water flows when I run on top of it
Phenomenal work!
Exactly the type of seasonal change I've been looking for since Asheron's Call.
I'm so excited for this!!!
1st this is absolutely awesome and amazing to see. I am very excited for what's to come. I have not been able to find an MMO home since FF 11 Old school. 2nd some feed back for you guys. I know everything is still a work in progress but to me the only thing that stood out as a negative or Meh was the hair on the animals. Im sure this will be addressed but like i said that the only bit of detail that pulled my eyes from what ever else was going on. It was consistent from the bears to all the animals. Other than that nothing drew my eye from the great stuff you guys are making. So excited for this and cant wait.
AMAZING! Chills for 3 minutes and 26 seconds!
This looks great! However, I can see at 00:44 that the rain drops doesn't create ripple effects on the pond. Probably because its early iteration. Goodluck, yall doing great so far.
Finally an MMO i can, will and want to spent my time and effort into it. Looks Amazing Guys! ❤️🔥
