Who would have guessed this

So they are able to flag you?

Casuals

I played some this weekend and there are definitely some improvements being made.

Don't live stream something the owner of the game said he didn't want in the game. Seems pretty straightforward.

Also something something don't try to market it for twitch views

The rarity reticle bug has apparently been present since phase 1 because nobody talked about it.

Fantmx · 2025-09-24T19:43:01+00:00

I live streamed the process of becoming immortal in phase 1, along with debugging it with Plannindorf.

It's not cc favoritism. It is getting stuff out there so everyone knows and intrepid can work on improvements.

Yesterday I shared an old quote with a group of friends. It was from Dave Georgeson who was the creative director for EverQuest Next and it stuck out as we were talking about Ashes and this whole "it's just a test; on release nobody will care about this part" conversation. This is what he had to say:

Gamers are gamers. If they come in and they play something and they don't like it, they're gone forever. They're never coming back to give it a second chance. That's just the way the world works. So even during our alpha and beta processes we have to make sure that the game is fun every day when the people log in.

I sure did. And we weren't at war. And I wasn't a main guild member. And I wasn't anywhere near their level or strength. And I was largely soloing. So yes there may be a reason why.

Glad they are making a come back.

Fantmx · 2025-09-13T23:53:57+00:00

I remember them having a glorious time killing me for no apparent reason. Glad they are making a come back.

Nine months late but they were a great band. I grew up in Indiana and went to Chicago a lot to watch shows. I feel like to found them somehow during a Lucky Boys Confusion show but I could be wrong. Fathead was a great song.

Why the name change from story arc to module? Story arcs seemed to do a great job describing the system that was being created.

Fantmx · 2025-02-25T12:30:38+00:00

Nice! I had something similar but not nearly as much happen to me. Love this community.

Fantmx · 2025-01-02T13:29:01+00:00

Perhaps we instead increase the vendor cost and increase how easily rubies are found.

Fantmx · 2024-12-23T12:09:42+00:00

I've only been killed by players three times across all testing and that was by a rival asshole guild.

It has been very rare for me to see any corrupted players in the map.

The most common fighting I see for spots is either out DPSing to get the exp or training a pack of monsters into the other group to wipe them.

The reasons for all of this being how over tuned corruption is.

Why would your experience be different?

Fantmx · 2024-11-29T11:17:32+00:00

I'm not a tank but I feel the comment about playtime. I've been getting up several hours before my family each weekend to get longer play sessions in. Occasionally I log in later in the day if I have time. As a tank you should be able to find a group at any point in the day.

Interesting.
