Ya'll care too much about random neckbeards on internet. Can we all just get back to talking about "totally not a scam mmo"? The whole "nodes" system seems pretty stupid tbh. It's basically a grindy content lock system that masquerades as reactivity. I'm not sure what it actually serves to add to the game. Sure, it might be fun building poo poo up the first time around. But either A) poo poo will never get torn down and therefore will just always be at max level making it no different than a static environment. B) poo poo will constantly get torn down making a massive tedious grind to rebuild everything. Like I can see this working if the world-state got reset in some way every few months like Crowfall/PotBs/HnH or if they had constant new servers that would be merged into an existing server like China. But at this point this just looks like standard themeparking with extra steps.

Chronicles of Elyria turned out to be a massive scam. So how long until people catch on with ashes of creation? Is the name a subtle mockery of anyone who would back it?

CoE was an obvious scam because they never demonstrated that the game actually works as an MMO as they never released anything outside of pre-rendered footage and tech demoes that had nothing to do with the game. The team they had working on the project (at least during the Kickstarter announcement) literally only had one programmer on it who hasn't actually ever been credited on an MMO. AoC at least has given some "influencers" hands on experience with an accelerated progression version of what is supposed to be the final game including dungeons. And I guess their random foray into making a BR does prove they're capable of making a multiplayer game that can support more than a dozen people. I'm not saying that AoC won't turn out to be a scam, but if it does, it's going to be a significantly more competent scam than CoE.

The Lazy Peon made another video about Ashes of Creation. It looks promising at least, but so did many other MMOs. I really can't get hyped for any new mmo anymore. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1s82xJnx1EY Look at all these fun pre-order deals they have.  Yep you get to pay to alpha test the game, get game time and in game money for more then they are worth, and get a bunch of skins you probably will hate. The bundles "cheaper" then this one won't even let you reserve your name.

The interview with Shroud and Summit and the fact that it has Australian servers already confirmed has absolutely put this game on the map for me. I remember looking at this game like 1-2 years ago and not at all being that impressed but it seems like they've come pretty far. Eager to see how this one pans out- unlike NW... (I ain't preordering poo poo these days though)

I got really confused when he showed what seemed to be 2 games: A action-based third party battle royal, and a traditional Everquest-like combat system with hotbars. There was something about being able to switch between each? I'm so confused.

Asmongold is interviewing the CEO out of nowhere on his stream and he's promising a LOT of stuff and systems that interact with eachother Kinda suspicious considering all the past MMOs that also promised that stuff, some stuff sounds very over-designed

I don't think it's over designed but more the scope is too big. None of these systems are really that complex. But yeah, at this point I'm cautious about any MMO. Pre-ordering is for suckers.

Ya'll literally giving your money to a guy who worked in a MLM (XanGo), made his money in real-estate, and has absolutely no prior game-dev experience. It would be one thing if he simply funded the project, but since he's admitted that all the design decisions are made by him, I'm very skeptical if this will actually play anywhere near as good as people are making it sound. Since he basically picked up the scraps from EQ Next who didn't take a well-paying job and his budgeting does seem somewhat reasonable, I'm confident that they will finish something that technically works as an MMO. I just doubt it will be a good one. To clarify, I'm not saying that it's a scam because he was involved in a MLM at some point when he was younger. We all make bad life decisions in our youth. I'm pointing out that the guy calling the shots has no qualifications to call the shots short of "I played MMOs for a while" and by that logic your manchild of an uncle should be qualified to coach his favorite sportsball team because he watched all their games.

This game will be so well received that eventually our entire society will be structured around it, like that game from that Iain Banks book.

my first thought on finishing the video was that the flying mount thing signifies that it was made by a total grognard lead like, why bother putting flying mounts in the game if only 10 people out of 10k are gonna even have them? spend the dev time doing anything else.

LITERALLY MY FETISH posted:my first thought on finishing the video was that the flying mount thing signifies that it was made by a total grognard lead They're supposed to act as Daenaeys-esque PvP raid bosses. Where they can lay down aoe fire etc, since you can kill them. So your guild leader would be the one on this great big dragon. Whether or not it plays out like that though is another thing.

"flying" is pretty much just a debug feature. Content development to support it is what would normally take up most of the time, but that's only an issue if you actually need to make content for it.

Each node only opening certain dungeons or whatever seems....like a lot of wasted content unless they're doing regional dungeons and depending on the node which has the needed progress is how you enter or something? I'm fine with that if that changes boss orders and maybe adds another wing or something. Resources spawning down in lower levels of dungeons seems they need to figure out theres at least one spot for rare mats ha. The part where he talked about how boss mobs would drop completed gear but as well as the mats to make the gear, but also that if you die you may drop some mats, makes me wonder if people will just try and gank dudes coming out of dungeons ha. Also with the siege mechanic how much people will want to just stalemate it or something and no nodes get destroyed from a metropolis down to 0 Also the pre order packs tickle the FOMO
