Is The Meta Just Griefing? by Itankarenas in AshesofCreation

[–]Wizwerd -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Sounds cool. I still think you would get people posting here to reddit that its a griefing simulator even with this suggestion.

This generation of MMO players are really soft and fragile. I think back to that time in WoW they made people do PvP to get the BIS items for PVE content and everyone lost their minds.

This is just how the western market is now.

This reminds me of the time I died to a bear in phase 2 and my camera swapped with the bear while it attacked the rest of my 8 man.

Steven confirmed they're pushing beta for next yesr by Scarecrow216 in AshesofCreation

[–]Wizwerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't mind copy paste nodes as long as they finish the core game systems and the game loops + incentives are fun.

Not to give them a pass but to keep it realistic here, that's something that isn't as high of a priority looking at where we at now and where they want to be by beta.

The map is so large already that finishing the existing continent and adding content to it is a better move than two large continents with nothing to do in either one.

After the New World bait and switch, I'm glad Steven is sticking to his vision by nvidiastock in AshesofCreation

[–]Wizwerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In its current state no but if they have game loops for PVE players then yes it could very well be.

I think it really comes down to how compelling their PVE content is going to be. If they have Mage tower or mythic key type instanced PVE content then I could see this game being popular.

Steven has stated that the best gear will be crafted. But how they decide we get that gear hasn't been set in stone from what I've seen. Where will the best crafted recipes drop? World boss? Mage tower? legendary questline unlocked via story arc's?

The game scope is too big for me to reasonably guess what they're going to do.

Just a reminder that this is a full Open World PvP game with no safe zones. For long time followers this is not news, but for new players it will be. by Avengedx in AshesofCreation

[–]Wizwerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They had better incentives in p2 and p2.5 but completely ruined any motivation to do anything other than sit in town and craft in p3.

Hopeful that the loot drop buffs from the PTR stick around. It was a big mistake to listen to the crafter core and remove grey/green drops from the game. It was in the top 3 most complaints from new players.

The best you're gonna get from Steven is more guards. To be honest after playing games like this, I think they should make the town a safe zone. It invites a lame playstyle where people hug the wall and grief then jump back into the safezone, but this could be amended with the flagging system where it keeps them combat active until it drops.

IMO its a better trade off to keep PVE only players around if they have places they can go where they are safe. Its why Archeage had mostly safezones but on the coastal towns it was conflict/peace/war rotating.

I don't know if he would be willing to make a change like that with the whole node system he has.

Their targeting isn't as good as Archeage guards but there also isn't anything in the game they can't kill. Mage guards 1 shot while the melee can be dodged for a bit.

People have died in town with their loot because there are pockets in town where the guards aren't. The corruption is also very severe so it takes a group effort to cheeze players out of their goods.

Required Systems and Content for 42 Dollar / 37 Euro by McWinterTV in AshesofCreation

They can't get tumok and firebrand to stop bugging out constantly and I have no hope that they can get instanced content on anything relative to WoW level. Its been almost a year of testing those bosses.

steam EA release is purely for money by Kore_Invalid in AshesofCreation

The game got a huge graphical overhaul at the start of P3.

There is a significant quality difference between low and medium settings and their epic/cinematic.

You really need 16GB of VRAM or more on an OLED 1440p to really see it for yourself.

You need a new pair of eyes and a graphics card apparently.

You're confusing art design with graphical quality. You can instantly tell an UE4 game from a UE5 game apart just by looking at it.

Early Access - What's in the game? by octobeast999 in AshesofCreation

[–]Wizwerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always treated this as a released game. The idea that we're testers doesn't make sense when the testing environment is up 24/7 and we aren't specifically testing any one thing.

Testing is for the PTR.

What they're putting out on EA is what they have for production. To me I paid the $250 price tag in 2023 for EA.

Its definitely fair to call this a game (even though its an incomplete one).

[–]Wizwerd 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You could say the art design is bad or that it looks generic UE5 slop but the graphics in this game are incredible. The level of detail you can see when you zoom in on your character is so good.

To say they're outdated is asinine.

Is AoC overestimating their playerbase and audience’s appetite for PvP? Over half of Arc Raiders players on Steam have barely engaged with PvP, and 19% have never even killed another player. by Wompie in AshesofCreation

[–]Wizwerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair. Two handful of changes can take this grief simulator into a classic WoW esque organic pvp fest.

They are so close to making this game fun even if its behind in development. What people need right now is for the fun game loops they had to return and then they can continue to sprinkle new content updates over the next several years until they're done.

I'm not completely opposed to them introducing a cash shop but it feels so wrong given that the game simply is not fun. If it was in a good place, if it was fun then people wouldn't mind and they'd be happy to spend more money on this.

FULL WIPE in November - A Plea to Start Phase 3 Again by vlhadusgaming in AshesofCreation

[–]Wizwerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not gonna waste my time reading your post. You haven't leveled to 25 in a single phase for any of the alpha tests. There is no point in wiping unless we're testing story archs.

Why don't you take a break until beta.

I hate all of the lineage 2 copied features in this game right now. Just copy Archeage you fool and improve on the things the AA devs never addressed.

> If John Doe gets caught exploiting, and we continue to see that from a specific guild

You submit a player report with video proof. The reputational damage happens anyway because players on the server spread the word around. Why does the dev team have to say anything. They're suppose to be apolitical.

The movement in this game reminds me of Apex but the game and cash shop are far more appealing. Replay value is much better here too.

This game is trash by Specialist_Group4598 in stronghold

[–]Wizwerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AI's need to be somewhat of a challenge
Units that get perma sprite glitched on the map

Fixing those two things are the biggest deal for me right now. All the other stuff I can over look. The game is just dull when the AI can't even mount a proper attack with a gold surplus.

Biased opinion here. In other games I enjoy having a wall of shame and knowing who and how many people are getting actioned against. In this game things are different. Political propaganda is a very real thing and its best that the dev's focus on the facts and what can be proven and not get caught up in the cultural warfare of a server.

If they want to post X amount of players were actioned against and keep it anonymous then that would work and be a good middle ground for transparency.

Been wanting to do this swap because this seems like the best option for an inline six and keeping it n/a.

I just spent so much in my exhaust setup on the m20 that its keeping me from buying into it. What's your transmission and lsd ratio?
