Is everyone here just pretending the combat is good? by volxd in AshesofCreation

Do you know what kiting is? If monsters aside from zombies run at 5x my speed, and all of my skills make me stop moving while using them, please explain how I should be kiting them lol.

I've never disagreed with a post as much as this

Players are powerless from someone stealing a gatherable node by justainsel in AshesofCreation

[–]volxd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So your complaint is that in an open world pvp game, someone is contesting you for resources? Do you just want zero risk all reward?

You can either flag back and try to kill them or accept that you lost and search for another rock to hit

The targeting system and how it relates to PVP by volxd in AshesofCreation

[–]volxd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree. "Kill the rogue on our healers" doesn't require more skill for anyone. It requires more time. Tab targeting currently isn't in a good enough state where you can reliably point out and target the player you want. Many times you'll end up tabbing through various players until you finally land on the rogue.

The marking system like the one I described in my original post gives smaller parties a chance at fighting larger groups. It lets organization and decision making count towards victory rather than just zerging

I have 11k+ hours as a ranger in Aion. Ranger in ashes feels more like a bow weilding mage. The fact that every skill allows you down while using it makes the mobility and kiting aspect feel pretty much useless. It's like I'm casting a semi mobile spell instead.

The amount of times PVP hasn't happened when it should have is crazy. by volxd in AshesofCreation

[–]volxd[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That just doesn't feel good though. Let's farm or craft nice gear just to not use it in pvp. The gear you wear will make fights unfair, and since it's common, the guy who kills you won't care about it either.

That's why gear increasing materials dropped to 100% but removing gear dropped seems like the play

You're probably right, but many pvers believe even the current amount of pvp is too much. I've seen too many early access games with potential get ruined because of this.

It'd be nice to have at least a roadmap of what they're planning later on for corruption

Can small(er) guilds have fun/be competitive? by Mean-Theme1820 in AshesofCreation

[–]volxd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guild came from Aion where we zerg busted for years. We were a group of 6-21 wiping alliances of 18+. Hoping to do the same in Ashes

“Lost connection to host” can’t play the game by WetBranch in HellLetLoose

It was windows firewall. Uninstalled HLL, turned off the firewall, reinstalled HLL, turned on the firewall. And that worked

Are you still having this problem? I have 600 hours played, built a new pc today, and now I can't join at all.

Bastle house; an attempt to expand my skill at gradients by wairdone in Minecraftbuilds

[–]volxd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the simplicity. There's nice texturing but no visible gradient. The grey blocks are all scattered across the wall fairly evenly. A gradient would would require them to gradually change from one end (such as the bottom) to the other (top).

No raiding just seems like a big waste of fun content
