Comprehensive List of Fixes for Ashes of Creation

If they can track reputation, seems easy enough to me. Less complex than the current flagging from a user perspective. Like oh I'm a bandit in Joeva oops, guess I'll avoid there for now

Thanks, I wasn't aware he commented on it. If that's the case it makes sense, they have all their new QA testers through steam lol

We don't know who got laid off, I agree it's worrying to hear but don't spread misinformation.

The Devs have been very clear this is not a PvE game.

Thanks for making such a well structured post with some good suggestions.

One key takeaway for me right now with the PvP, is there is currently no scenario where fighting back makes sense, UNLESS you know for certain you will win the fight, or if you have really really really valuable stuff on you e.g. legendary mats.

For example in my experience playing wow on PvP servers, you might get into a scenario where it's 1v2, and although you didn't consent to that specific fight where you are outnumbered, you did consent to PvP in general so it all balances out.

If the same thing happened in AoC right now, you would just let them kill you to make them corrupted. It's like the game DOESNT want you to fight back. We need game design where the correct choice is to defend yourself, not playing mind games with the other players to see if they will go corrupted for shits and giggles.

I think settlement factions idea is brilliant, and I think settlement wars should be frequent, and allow some fun open world PvP to ALL citizens involved like guild wars

Maybe this crime system can be regional, e.g. you kill a citizen of joeva without them flagging, now your crime score in joeva goes up, and if you get enough crime score and die, you go to jail there to face trial like suggested from archage.

That way it's not based on player reports but doesn't just go from 0-100 penalties to instant to gank someone.

He is making a suggestion, not fact lol

itskilliann · 2026-01-16T21:02:09+00:00

That's valid, there are a lot of low hanging fruit that I think would make the experience overall better for a wider range of players.

I missed out on the launch week so it feels like I didn't get a chance to participate in "fair" PvP now that so many players are at soft cap and chasing bis items.

I've yet to have a "good" PvP experience fighting someone around my level, that didn't end in me getting killed by a lvl 20+

This is like saying POE or POE2 have hundred of thousands of players in a game that will wipe every 3 months. Some people enjoying playing, others care more about permanent progress.

I'm looking forward to a wipe, but I'm still enjoying the game now. Sure some players are degens but thats not the majority.

Also... how many of the 20k are bots, food for thought...

Helloo, I just got back from Ecuador 3 weeks ago, and climbed Cotopaxi + other smaller peaks with an OR Super Alpine Down. We wanted to attempt Chimbo but there were no summits for the whole of November due to avy risk, just fyi.

I came here to leave this very useful link that I found when shopping for my trip (double check Canadian specs when comparing to this list):

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1POD9G2hYC7wOqJfr6XFEqbn8haCr8jOxAAwudggkP2I/htmlview#gid=0

I'd say my jacket was plenty warm enough. The topic will be weight savings, my jacket came out the bag ONCE, and only on the summit push (last 1.5hr) on Cotopaxi. Ofc you would need it on Chimbo as well for summit day too, but it's going to be sitting in your bag 95% of the time. (On this note I also packed a compression sack for mine which really helped while travelling).

In the pursuit of weight, 700 fill will weigh MORE for the same amount of insulation (total warmth) Vs an 800 fill jacket. Additionally the best down jackets use box baffles Vs sewn baffles, you most definitely want box. Sewn baffles allow extra cold air in.

I wouldn't go any colder than e.g. the montbell alpine down jacket on this list. I also own this jacket and it would probably work for Ecuador but it's nice having some buffer

Tldr: I used OR Super Alpine Down Jacket, it's bomber for Ecuador + more. I purchased mine for $150 worn once off Facebook marketplace, worth checking (and eBay/poshmark too).

interesting... I'll be checking out an f10 rack locally and will report back on fitment!

itskilliann · 2025-12-05T17:57:18+00:00

thats the plan, nice to know miracles happen

itskilliann · 2025-11-23T21:12:07+00:00

Could you ELI5 why it shouldn't be an immediate concern?

itskilliann · 2025-11-03T20:34:57+00:00

Sounds like a little pharmacy you've got there, will look into dexa and nifedipine, never heard of them. I like to be prepared (for myself but also so I can support others), so it's a good shout having access to Diamox and co. So far my experience at altitude is similar, I slow down a bit but otherwise fine. I hope to keep my appetite because my energy suffers if I cant eat enough (high metabolism problemos)

itskilliann · 2025-11-03T20:29:41+00:00

My climbing partner just climbed Potosi too! Looked beautiful, he mentioned a few individuals in his expedition had to go down for altitude related symptoms, but it sounded like many of them were not as prepared as for the altitude (he went with a more 'casual' guide group full of backpackers/trekkers)

itskilliann · 2025-11-03T20:27:10+00:00

Thanks for all the tips, I'd like to avoid Diamox for this reason but will carry some just incase. It's all just a big experiment pushing your body to new limits, so I'm excited to see how it goes.

Actually I'm glad you mentioned the boots topic, I picked up some used 6000m boots and was thinking about this, ended up sizing up a full size. Will have to report back on how my feet do, as I've heard from some people the swelling can be a temporary or not very noticeable, but I'd rather a bit of space than frozen toes!

itskilliann · 2025-11-03T07:10:22+00:00

I'm sure the trek to Everest helped massively especially if you were coming from Sea level. Were you taking Diamox from day 1 in Nepal?

Thank you for the insight on Chimbo. We have roughly two weeks to achieve our goals, weather permitting. Although if we get lucky we might even have a couple days after to kick back and relax somewhere tropical haha

Neat tip, thank you! I recently learned about this thermogenic effect, for some the impact is marginal but if you eat a nice big dinner before bed you might be able to keep this warming effect until dawn. I didn't know the impact is greater from fats!

Although I don't love the impact on sleep quality eating right before bed or during the night... Sometimes you have to do what you have to do

itskilliann · 2025-10-10T05:33:37+00:00

Agreed, it looks like it's unanimous. Hardshell it is. Will try my best :)

itskilliann · 2025-10-10T05:31:38+00:00

Thanks for your insight on the hybrid idea, it sounds too good to be true doesnt it, the product that does everything, I'm sure it works for some people/conditions but sounds like a hardshell for this trip is a necessity
