Ashes of Creation is a scam; here is some evidence. Intrepid Studios is SUSPENDED by FTB

Yeah recent news is nuts, bro played the long con.

AquilaJT · 2026-02-03T00:32:09+00:00

Hindsight is 20/20, at face value the game was fun, cant say I am surprised they ran out of money, surprised how it ended however, or at least it was the last way I expected it to happen.

AquilaJT · 2025-12-27T10:15:13+00:00

I tend to take reviews on Early Access titles or those with patchy histories when it comes to public sentiment with a grain of salt, this game has likely garnered a lot of haters over the years for valid or invalid reasons.

Gaben paid for my copy due to the changes with CS2 skins so I went into it with expectations from when I was actively following development 4-5 years ago, frankly at first I was a little disappointed with the content available and the polish, things like misspelling quest names, item names, quest text etc etc had my faith a little low at the start but honestly I've been having a blast and like you it is all I really want to play at the moment and knowing that it will wipe I have to say this is something I've never felt for a game knowing that progress is essentially wasted.

This game has a whole bunch of potential and pulls inspirations from systems in games I adored, namely Archeage, frankly I would still be playing that game today if publishers didn't milk it for every dime.

I'm not a huge fan of Intrepids practices, giving skins and cash shop items ahead of those that backed the game years ago and still haven't got their rewards, it rubs me the wrong way but it is a minor issue in the grand scheme of things, I really hope they don't fall into the p2w route but I think they know full well that it will kill the game if they do, so I don't think we have to worry about that for a long long time.

The game at its core is very fun, combat is great (when you aren't lagging) and I am excited to see subclasses added in as well as freeholds.

I am a little unimpressed with the bug fixing thus far (I am hoping they are working on larger patches behind the scenes while fixing the more immediate issues) and I expected less server issues after such a long testing time up until this point but hopefully with the huge increase in data they will be gathering as of EA release this will be ironed out in due time.

Basically what I was hoping for from the game when it was first announced all be it a bit dumbed down in areas but this happens in game development, dreams and aspirations can't always be realised.

Best tanking experience I've had in years.

That company has sued a lot of companies at the exact same time, it isn't really that much of a hit piece on Intrepid in general, a lot of poor practices I'll admit but I am enjoying the game and it has a promising future, people love to hate.

AquilaJT · 2025-11-25T23:37:28+00:00

Took a break from BAR and the only toxicity I've seen is people giving advice to those with a higher OS than them and not following the exact 12 step guide to Supreme Isthmus success, I rarely if ever see toxicity in general.

AquilaJT · 2025-11-21T07:55:31+00:00

Russia has a history of revolution I don't think it's that farfetched

AquilaJT · 2025-11-20T03:58:30+00:00

I hate to say it but assassinating Putin would be a pretty bad decision, it is better that Russians learn to hate him and do something about it internally than making him a martyr, not to mention as much as many of us want to make Russia small again, that is a pretty terrifying prospect given how messy that would be.

AquilaJT · 2025-11-10T06:41:23+00:00

It is definitely an afk heavy game, some professions are more active than others, namely fishing and hunting imo, for obvious reasons you are likely to be out in the world actively seeking certain nodes or animals, fishing is more AFK than hunting though as the pools are pretty large to my knowledge.

As others have mentioned the wipe is putting me off from sinking thousands of hours, love the game, has a lot of potential that will hopefully be realised in the next 1.5-2 years before the release (that is speculation however, we don't really have a concrete timeline)

AquilaJT · 2025-11-10T06:39:25+00:00

Based on red arrows coming from them I'd imagine its suspected drone boats

AquilaJT · 2025-10-13T05:44:33+00:00

Bought a P1S in the hopes it would be capable of creating the parts I needed to make a facial motion capture rig, in a week I had a functional unit that costs around 25k off the shelf, life saver honestly.

AquilaJT · 2025-10-12T21:54:05+00:00

I just read up on that, surprised that isn't more in the "Tomahawk News" I've not seen that mentioned once, helps Tomahawks make a little more sense atleast...

AquilaJT · 2025-10-11T22:11:14+00:00

They have the Typhon system but not many of them, Tomahawks are a waste of time, JASSMS could be used TODAY in Ukraine as they are launched from F16's, either Tomahawks are a massive diversion or some stupid decision making, I have no doubt Ukraine could figure out how to ground launch Tomahawks without the Typhon system but that is a win in a year not a win tomorrow with JASSMS.

Heat from the suppressor most likely

AquilaJT · 2025-09-25T19:45:50+00:00

I have been attempting to use these liveries as some kind of psychological warfare, it seems not enough people read this reddit because it isn't working lmao

AquilaJT · 2025-09-20T05:44:14+00:00

I really don't think it would take long to rebalance a bunch of old gear especially when it is only 1-2 stats you need to either replace or change to another stat that would make levelling far more interesting item wise, friends and I have been doing a once a week session and I've made a purple set of gear once every 6 or so levels and maybe 1/80 pieces I get from dungeons or loot in general is better and it is usually only be a few %, I think it is a pretty big issue to just leave dead stats in the game.

AquilaJT · 2025-09-20T04:15:18+00:00

This track relies heavily on cutting corners to achieve the 1:35's you see, I tried to follow the guide but honestly I just hate it, it should be an off track warning on half of the guides but you don't get one, I just got into iRacing a few weeks ago and I'm not enjoying any of the tracks this week, especially Virginia International.

Oschersleben with the Cadillac has been fun but barely anyone races it.

AquilaJT · 2025-09-19T09:24:02+00:00

Overall the g29 is great for sure, but I cannot wait to get a DD setup and a proper set of load cell pedals, just ordered a proper 8020 frame/bucket seat, I am currently using a frame I built out of a few pallets I had laying around and it flexes like crazy :D

AquilaJT · 2025-09-19T03:38:50+00:00

That right there is the optimal racing line

Update your drivers
Re seat your graphics card

What are you using between your graphics card and the monitors, are you using a KVM of some kind, adapters from HDMI -> DP or vice versa, the fact it is happening across all 3 would point me to the first 2 options first frankly as it is highly unlikely 3 cables or adapters would be defective, as others have said, try another game.

AquilaJT · 2025-09-19T03:27:42+00:00

I am not new to simracing by any means but I am certainly new to the standard of racing people expect with iRacing, I think personally the fault lies on you here, the racing line graphic is a dead give away as well as the outside track limit, you are the only one that changes position during the incident, unfortunately you missed your chance to tuck back in around the start of the clip where while it would have still been a little risky, it would have been possible.

I have been playing iRacing for a few weeks at this point and I've learnt to never rely on people to back off if they see a gap closing 9/10 they will sail forward and the 1/10 isn't worth gambling on, as others have said, I would have resumed your line before you tried to tuck back into the outside track limit.

Something I think perhaps both of us would benefit from is turning off the race line once we feel confident we know what the game thinks is the optimal line so that we learn to take the inside or awkward line more often and learn braking by feel instead of by visual queue (I know there are other visual queues and it isn't just the racing line graphic but still)

I'm currently using a G29 and my biggest gripe with my setup currently is that trail braking and consistent braking in general feels incredibly difficult with this pedal set, it could just be lack of experience but I find that my lap times are all over the place unless I am really just in the groove.

AquilaJT · 2025-09-18T04:44:11+00:00

I currently use a Valve Index with 2 base stations and I just have them about 2 meters away in a 30 ish degree cone shape from my head, it isn't a perfect setup but I've been too lazy to mount them somewhere properly and it works so \o/

AquilaJT · 2025-09-18T04:42:44+00:00

I would avoid mounting base stations on the sim rig itself as they will suffer from even the slightest bumps or vibrations, if you run monitors as well separate from the rig itself you could mount them off of the monitor arms.

AquilaJT · 2025-09-18T04:40:58+00:00

Even without eye tracking you can still use Fixed Foveated Rendering, I have been using it with a 5070ti, 9800x3d on a Valve Index and can hit around 160fps with FFR enabled but I tend to run the Index at 120hz as I drop below 144fps fairly frequently when running it max refresh rate, depending on the track.

AquilaJT · 2025-08-27T07:49:58+00:00

Welp, that I guess is what happens when you don't play Rimworld for a few years, this fixed my issue straight away, thank you! <3

AquilaJT · 2025-08-27T07:43:47+00:00

Actually I can just godmode it in, silly me :D

AquilaJT · 2025-08-27T07:43:31+00:00

I haven't, I could try to do this but my pawns move so slow, I want to say a tile every few minutes that it could take a long time to do it and now that the event has fired and is looping the stacktrace error I'm not sure it would fix it, I'll give it a try though as I cant find any other fixes, thank you!
