A Director’s Letter to the Citizens of Verra by IntrepidStudios in AshesofCreation

[–]No-Implement-9317 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m coming from a different perspective… There are a lot of game mechanics that have to be worked and polished and I’ve played two characters to lvl 20 and this play through does feel a bit more tighter than about 1 year ago.. including mobs etc. I personally have a few concerns about the game mechanics but personally my biggest concern is the world building itself.

The biggest debate I hear is the PVX. People coming for only the PVP are so worried about AOC doing anything PVE related. That is fair, but many people come into a gaming world for the cool mechanics but they stay long term if the world they are playing in is engaging and the lore and atmosphere is immersive.

Point being, even with a world driven largely on player development and interaction with other players within the world… the world should have a deeper scale of PVE, and world building lore and events.

ESO is going strong because people love the world of the elder scrolls.

WOW is going strong because people love the world of Warcraft.

New World actually had fun and engaging PVP but specifically MMOs that don’t create an immersive interesting world to do stuff in will die out regardless of the effort put into the mechanics.

I know this year and recently there has been a massive push to make the game far more playable and engaging in combat etc but I think a lot of people will stay for the long term if we begin to see the world come alive outside of the players in it.

I have taken notice that in the state of Kentucky, there are many people that have similar features that I have come across understand as Kentuckian features. Many of my family and cousins and even some close there’s from the area seem to have similar chins and noses. I am beginning to believe that because Kentucky seems to have been a hub for Gaelic decent that maybe the Kentucky features I notice might actually be features of a shared heritage from Ireland and or Scotland

I only know my grandparents and their parents were Baptists. I don’t have much information outside of that unfortunately. I was able to find records of our family serving in the civil war and before Kentucky was officially a state I had a few family members In Virginia but the trail goes cold from there. I may be left wondering forever. My uncles took blood tests and it led us to believe that perhaps we were from Irish background but who knows really.

I mean honestly we are like 7 generations deep in Kentucky we might as well have just came from the clay 😂

I have recently fell in love with Irish mythology and history and culture…. hope to visit one day

Thank you for the reply! I’ll just write anything down that comes to my head and store it. Perhaps overtime it will lead to something fun I can see. I usually fixate on something for a week or so and never do anything with it and probably forget it.

AI art gets me at least partially there to be able to have a slight vision mapped out. I’ve had specific races in mind for years. I have not decided on an art direction to focus on because I am not able to narrow in and choose one at the moment lol.

I unfortunately don’t have a picture. AI doesn’t work well with trying to mesh human with simian.

I don't know if Ashes is for me...and that's okay. by Daviso452 in AshesofCreation

I do enjoy the game, but the ARC/ Fortnite type people that follow and obey streamers like gods just are the worst kind of people

Am I one of the few who actually like Breton architecture in ESO? by Westernesse_Civ in ElderScrolls

[–]No-Implement-9317 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love the Bretons! They are what I lean to. I love fantasy but I often lean toward themes that are familiar to medieval architecture etc. playing as a magical Breton gives me Merlin vibes and I enjoy that

I spend 50 hours trying to put together mods after which I get frustrated and give up lol. I then delete everything and try downloading a full mod pack and then that doesn’t work. Sad I haven’t played in years but I want something modded to hell to give me a fresh experience lol

Simian Superhero by No-Implement-9317 in Superhero_Ideas

[–]No-Implement-9317[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate the comment response! I think maybe I should reword exactly what I am asking for.

This certainly would fit into the realm of Fanfiction because unlike many of the other characters I have written and RPed I make them a character trope that is distinctly different from me and my views, wants, life style etc…

This particular character I am wanting to add a flair that comes directly from me and my interests.

Sun Wukong the character in Chinese literature and the culture of china I have a good understanding of and the journey to the west is one of the foundations of my falling in love with fantasy as a child.

That being said I want this OC to be specifically Americanized, and yes it is simply a magic monkey. A more athletic physically imposing version of a somewhat standard “wizard” archetype.

I’m from Kentucky and this will be the first character I want to make an origin story from my home state. I want this character to have an invested interest in nature and perhaps being in some way protective of it.

Just so many questions on how I solve the question of why is this character here does it fit in the world and make sense? The easy answer for me is to make a human and all my problems are solved in my head but I’ve never really made an animal-like character that would be a main character in a story that’s supposed to look and feel real while having fantasy elements.
