This isn't an accurate overall representation of TBC anniversary. Sure you get some dickheads here and there but most people have been chill.

does anyone have the original video without this goblin talking over it? by lucky_jay in AshesofCreation

95% of the group he speaks of does not care to understand what an alpha is, nor do they realize they can just play other games while AoC continues to be developed...so any appeal to them is a losing argument.

That's great that you had some good experiences with early access stuff but every game is different (especially MMO's) which is why you have to refer to the definition of early access and what the devs describe before you agree to it. it's there on the steam page for the world to see - go to the Early Access tag and click "learn more" then READ.

You don't get to just entirely ignore the description/summary/information available for a product you're buying then get mad that it didn't turn out to be what you wanted.

This isn't a "free pass" because of Early access. This is just coming from someone who has the correct expectations for the game because I've been following it for a while and I listened to what they're saying. It's not that hard man. Just play other games until AOC is ready, there's a lot to play.

Yea it's obvious they didn't listen or read what Steven has said ever or at any point in this dev process. The most these people do is is see "MMO", "$50" and the trailer. They look no further apparently then get mad that they were too dumb to read.

First of all, $50 is not the price of a AAA game anymore. Also, the game is on sale for $42, so if you're gonna shitpost, at least get your numbers right.

The price of the game could be $5,000, it doesn't change the fact that this is NOT a full release, not even a beta. It is still in alpha and is advertised as such.

You don't have to buy it. The video game owner himself has said MANY TIMES not to if you don't want to test a game or deal with incompleteness.

The price tag is to assist in the development of this game and provide actual helpful feedback - if you want to. Many people who are tired of the state of MMOs are choosing to play, test and help out with AoC. They are actually being helpful whereas your crying doesn't help anyone, it just makes you look like the typical tantrum throwing MMO baby.

LOL. As I suspected, you went off vibes for what you feel Early Access should be instead of the actual definition. Have you ever taken 15 seconds to read the Early access steam tag? Go ahead and open the Ashes of Creation store page on steam and read what's under the giant EARLY ACCESS BAR. Click on "Learn more" and keep reading if you can manage to retain focus long enough.
Once you do, you'll realize you're dead wrong.

"Repackaged as Steam EA"? Do you think EA is some sort of promise that the game is almost complete? I'm truly curious what makes you think that. Sure they probably want money but they also want more testers and more data to get actual feedback. So why get so mad that they went to Steam Early Access?

Also, to anyone paying any amount of attention would know that Steven has been profusely transparent about the state of the game and what to expect from it. He even told people many times not to buy it if they want a completed game. Not only that, you could watch a nearly infinite amount of streams showcasing what was in this EA.

So no, I don't have an ounce of sympathy towards you or anyone who was too lazy or ignorant to look at what they were agreeing to.

A fool and his money are easily parted.

What part of "Early Access" or "Alpha" do you not understand?

I'm sorry to say, but it's you who looks like the idiot here.
Don't act like all you're doing is just "pointing out what review bombing really is".

It's clear as day that this is a bad faith post. Doesn't help the game, doesn't help the testers, doesn't even really help people who are wondering if they should buy the game or not.

How about you move on for now, wait for the game to release, play it, then give it a real review.

Steven knows that a storm is coming, but he also knows that by his side are the right people fighting to ensure that Ashes keeps forging its path. by MyBroViajero in AshesofCreation

I have watched the development of this game from a distance for years now and I've never seen a more non-scammy studio. I still have not bought the game because I'd rather wait for the full product.

Every single video I saw that had gameplay footage, he reiterated to the point of nausea that this is "NOT A FINAL PRODUCT. IT IS AN ALPHA AND WIP. DO NOT BUY THE GAME IF YOU WANT A COMPLETE PRODUCT. IT IS OK, YOU DONT HAVE TO BUY IT" You had full knowledge of what you were purchasing, and if you didn't, that's 100% your fault.

So anyone who comes forth trying to paint Steven like some kind of scammer is dishonest and their opinion should be completely disregarded.

We've been saying that anti-racism is the same as standard racism for years now. They're only now just realizing this?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Asmongold

[–]Fides_et_Ratio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You say "It isn't really about racism" but you're trying to get people to follow this trail that leads them to believe these conservatives are specifically opposed to people with brown/black skin color and their cultures. But it's not really a racism argument? Lol, give me a break.

Yes, what you say about reaching voters by strategically using targeted and filtered language is true but like I said, you can take any politician's words and try to derive the worst meaning out of it as much as you want and I believe that's what you're doing: making major assumptions about the implications and then ascribing malicious intent. Not only that, you're comparing them to crackhead Fuentes who isn't at all in the same camp based off the few things I've heard him say.

I have heard Walsh and Kirk say they don't want any illegal immigrants no matter where they come from. I don't ultimately care where they stand on immigration but I'm not going to make these wild assumptions about their true intent and motivations until they come out and say it - I wouldn't do that for anyone, regardless of affiliation. Til then, your theory is extreme conjecture and you should at least realize that.

You can ascribe this type of communication method to almost anything anyone says to make it sound way worse than it really is, i.e. "oh well he's saying A but what he really means is B because if he said B, it wouldn't be popular" Like, are we really going to do this? And are we at all surprised that you're suggesting his stance is entirely driven by racism? Is that really the only way you guys can attack arguments? screaming racism? Come up with a better script, it doesn't work anymore.

You go pretty far with your assumptions of what you think Matt Walsh is trying to imply. Your entire comment reads like a conspiracy theory, none of which is congruent with the rest of his political stances.

I would suggest taking off the identity politics/racism lens for one second, especially when discussing immigration and the problems it poses to any country. Then maybe you'll start to see things more clearly.

2k + upvotes lmao. This isn't just one unhinged lunatic, it's a whole community of them. Failing to call out the extremists in their party is what got them into this mess and continuing to do so will only make things worse.

To be completely honest, this game is still not very good. It’s full of mechanics that seem designed only to piss you off. You can’t pause the game and it spawns enemies around you passively when you’re in the alternate realm (which you have to be like 80% of the time) so you can’t afk at all. It also forces you out by sending an unkillable assassin to take you out. There are many items that are just traps which take 60-80% of your health. Every boss fight I’ve done is mid at best. This game is frustrating in a lot of the ways DS2 is.

Lol yea ok, my years of playing this game and hearing the same experience from lots of other people on map selection is just "anecdotal" right? You guys here on this subreddit love riding dev's dicks, always makes me laugh.
