I stopped caring about this game when they said it was forced PvP at every zone. I want to do what I want at any time not when the "group" is all good to go so we can deal with PKs
No one from FF will transit for AoC , they target two different demographics .
With the no fast travel argument, I think ppl will heavily not like it for a slightly different reason. It sucks for the obvious reason, but the more subtle reason is that there will be very limited knowledge about the WHOLE game because one of the main designs is that the world is "evolving" based on who controls the nearby regions.
Long story short: the game will be too complicated for ppl to enjoy without serious investment.
Did Peon get lip surgery or something? Looks like an AI video recording.
not a scam, im having a blast. Wait till it comes out if you want to give it a try, its still definitely an alpha.
Its a mmo which have pve mix pvp map, this kind of niche model which going to fail hard like the rest of mmo has this system
Its medieval tarkov. Pass….
Mmo or sub base mmo these days must be really hard to make imo, when stuff like Fortnite can have so much contents without you paying anything
It’s looks cool but I think a lot of the outdated systems are going to hinder the game too much.
Been playing the Alpha II since Oct 20. It's legit fun, combat is very good.
This game feels like a chore honestly…
When this got first announced it sounded a bit too ambitious. It's been so long now I just don't care lol. I enjoy WoW and FF14 too much, idk if I even wanna try getting into another MMO.
Ashes is an old school Sandbox MMO, modelled after Runescape/Everquest. It's not catering to the themepark crowd that 14 attracts.
It DOES however, very much speak to fans of 11 such as myself because 11 is pretty much the last standing MMO of that style that is still making bank.
It even has subclasses ! I hope they can eventually port this to console but even if they don't I'd like to get a new PC to try it eventually.
It's certainly an ambitious game, but this one actually stands a decent chance of coming out and being a success (unlike Star Citizen).
They might be overshooting with the world size though it is insanely large.
Evercraft Online seems more promising, and they are going with minecraft type graphics, but the gameplay is good.
You might not know what no fast travel means. There's still two classes that teleport people around the world.
I honestly don't get how people constantly praise all the games trying to do things so different from a properly proven and established formula.
It's like they don't understand WHY ff14 ARR destroyed its competition or something. How does a game embrace everything about fundamental western MMO's 10 years ago, despite its original 1.0 version being 100% different, and win a majority share of the playerbase, only for people to go "NAH WE DON'T WANT ANOTHER WOW CLONE"?
It’s grown to the point that it WILL fail due to expectations inflated by hype.
It is too obvious.
It doesnt matter how detrimental chosing to PK is, people are gonna do it. Thats their fun is literally PK'ing
If I want to play old style MMOs i'll resub to Tibia. There are already many great MMOs like this but that have 10 times better even with worse graphics.
My main gripe is that they're making it accessible to many. Another fucking game where there won't be this effect of everyone jumping in and figuring out a game at the same time. It's what you think of when you think of "the good ol days." Now is basically release. If the game has a lot of knowledge-based power, which these sandbox world content type MMOs do (like ArcheAge), you better get in and start learning now. Cause when you'll start at "launch" with players that have been playing it for 3-4 years, everyone knows the builds, the golden path for leveling, how and when you unlock important stuff, how to plan a path to get up there quick and dominate world PVP.
is this game basically wow + eve online ?
The Node System is what will separate the game from the rest. Not only will it control the content, but it will also provide friction between guilds and nodes. There are tons of systems to learn.
It's PvX Open World combat with a Corruption System. The game is paid for by the creator and donations, so a total fail won't happen to launch but it is a niche game for sure.
I agree
Its the smaller star citizen haha
That UI is just Phantasy Star Online from 2000
Also the buff system in this game feels a lot like GW2. Not as IMPACTFUL as GW2 either, which isn't great.
literally for how long this thing has been in the making, despite it being in alpha. youre right bald man, it looks like shit
The Tyson vs Paul fight is the perfect analogy for AoC.. it lives on the hype but there will never be any release that has any substance.
Oh and it's a scam.
i actually forgot that this game is still a thing, i rather play guildwars with the nostalgic graphics from 10 years ago then a new game that doesn't do and doesn't look much better to me
Im following the game a long time now and with the systems they want in the game its destined to flop.
Allot of these stuff worked in the Stone age, its 2020+ now 99% of people don't want this time wasting and griefing trolling crap when they play games, life is stressfull as it is, people want to relax when they play NOT have a gameplay loop that feels like second or hell a third job.
The WHOLE game is designed to be a Guild Leader Asslicking contest. Did you know only the guild/town leaders are allowed to have flying mounts ? yes you heard it right…
But the reality is that all "modern MMOs"… don't have any success at all, maybe at launch but a lot lose 90% of the players in the first year, so I think that making an MMO that has nothing to do with a new MMO makes it a better idea. Let's not forget that it was WoW Classic what bringed more new players to Blizzard, not WoW.
Also, the video is from a year or more ago… And I don't mean the video itself, but some of the footage, the dragon thing I saw it a year or so… So yeah. Everyone who is playing the game says it's so fun, but maybe not for everyone, like all games xD
Watching Piratesoftware play it is a better indicator of what the game is like right now as of weekend play.
It isn't a scam, I'm playing the Alpha and it's the most fun I've had in an MMO since a long time, that's saying something considering it's barely a game.
Fighting over world bosses was really fun in Archeage. It should be one of the best parts in Ashes.
