  1. From Dave:
    Hey all, I wanted to clarify something that I misspoke about it in the Q&A. For many T5 named items, there is no need to upgrade them with umbral shards before the expansion. Any named items that we have updated to drop at GS625 post-expansion, will actually auto-upgrade to GS625 in your inventory. Note not all T5 named items will be updated to GS625 post-expansion, but most of the recent named T5s will.

  2. Please finally fix the Character slots ! Players who had back EU PTR accounts on the brimstone update cant transfer theire characters to the EU Servers ! those accounts take all slots ! Chracter is stuck on NA and cant transfer my account back to the EU, because it says that all slots are taken. Many people have the problem please solve that !

  3. Huge mistake locking a remade zone and mounts behind a paywall. Makes your game look as bad as Destiny 2, for removing content people already paid for; and as bad a the worst chinese mmo's for the pay2win mounts. Every single one of your customers knows this is a money scam: FOMO -pay2win Paywall – proffit.

    great buisness plan.

  4. When are you going to hire someone to fix your UI? And your maps? And your gearing? How is it 3 years into the the game and the map keeps breaking in OPR, and the UI keeps breaking in OPR? And you have to unequip and equip your jewelry for them to count in OPR?

  5. Why does everyone say P2W in regards to paying for an expansion. This is how literally every MMO has done expansions. Your old stuff that you saved isnโ€™t relevant, and you need to get new stuff at higher level. And I love that part of it, I get to purge all my old storage, and start with new things. Stop whining about paying for an expansion.

  6. I'll pay even $60 for an expansion as long as you keep pay to win out and the content in, I'll even pay a sub that isnt the battle pass, just make content (and a pvp zone)

  7. Dear Scot Lane & AGS crew.
    When can we expect a playable skirmish WAR mode just like an OPR ?
    Super hardcore elite players can have fun with territory war while casuals and even hardcore players cant!
    And please…make it solo Q for everyone so that we don't get farmed at war camp for 25 minutes by the super hardcore elite pvp players! thx thx!

  8. Iโ€™m actually pretty frustrated with this expansion if you really want to know. I have over 3000 hours in the game and all that work is going to be worthless after the expansion. All the gear I made and bought to fine tune my character in pve snd pvp is gone. You need to make it easier to get night glyphs also please. Farming them is nearly impossible when no one wants to go kill the stupid scorpion at night.

  9. Returning player here – I am about as excited for the current state of the game, with the new expansion, as I was at launch! Thanks for working hard to continually improve the game and having kept all updates free up until this time … this is unheard of in the MMO genre. $30 for an expansion is a great price. Looking forward to prepping and playing the zone!

  10. Great update canโ€™t wait to play the expansion! Just some random thoughts but I would suggest to remove the achievements related to first light since the zone is being replaced (steam achievement included) and they wonโ€™t be achievable anymore.

  11. You know why ppl usually play pvp? At least most of them, because they are competitive! What competitive ppl need? Rating! If u add some cross-server arena with ladder you will see the miracle!

  13. Have fun, experiement with different builds. Same guy: If you want to experiment and have fun with transmog; kaching kaching kaching.
    Make up your mind already…
    A small minority understand you need revenue to continue working on the game, but be smart about it huh !

  14. Someone explain what he said at the 11 min mark.. i blew 30000 umbrals to upgrade my purple 590s to 600 legendary, but hes saying two different things: upgrade them if you got them, otherwise we upgrade them for you.. he means the gearscore and not the actual quality of the item right?

  15. i hope you guys fix a problem i heard about on the PTR which mounts dont work at lvl 65 and my suggestion is that having requirements to be able to complete the mount quest shouldnt be there and the fact that lvl 25 is suspose to be the lvl that you get the mount but on the PTR it said you need the artifact questline which should not be related.. this needs to be fixed so new players dont get confused and frustrated. you shouldn't go by retail wows pathfinder flying mount style quest line cause average players like me don't understand it and try to do that but end up at a loss so i just never tried again and it is needed to play the game right so i speak for new and average players.

  16. This guys are clown. Not the ones in the video, but AGS as a whole. Selling mounts as DLC? So whoever can't buy it will have to walk on food while everyone else is faster? A feature that was supposed to be in the game day 1 and now they're selling it?
    Disgusting.

    There is more to learn.

  17. 1) When are we going to get DLSS game support? Many people with rtx old video cards will be back in that case

    2) can you fix character moving physics? It is too slow and so uncomfortable

    3) is it possible to add 1-2 more skills for each weapon instead of only 3?

    4) will we able to use mounts everywhere?

    5) please do something about storage, very uncomfortable
