I personally think we'll see large "community grinds" that essentially time gate high level content such as Metropolis raids, and give breathing room for them to develop it after the game has released. Maybe I misheard it but if they truly are releasing unique node content, that's going to be a pretty hefty order, if each one comes with a dungeon or raid boss that presents a potential 100+ raid bosses they need to design. This part specifically worries me. Everything else though I think honestly they could do fairly easily. Also has there been any mention to fix the netcode / movement? This for me is a deal breaker.

doomisland posted:They did a battle royale to test the combat system during which they found some issues and fixed them to allow for large scale battles, if i understood correctly. So they're confident in 250v250 and now theyre next target is to try and support 500v500. I wasn't referring to the raiding of Metropolis, I was referring to Raids that are unlocked when you get a Metropolis. I don't know if anyone's doing rough numbers on quests etc, and I don't know the facts so I could be completely off base here, but if they're actually planning unique content for all the nodes, lets say there's 5 levels, and each level is 4 quests, 1 dungeon starting at level 3/4/5 and 1 raid at metropolis level, that's 5 raids at least they need at launch (but even possibly maybe 6), some absurd amount of quests- 100 nodes, lets say on average every node is level 3 in 2 months, that's like 1200 unique quests and 100 dungeons. Obviously these numbers are just guesses, but without some serious time gating they're going to have their work cut out for them. I also worry that Metropolis' will take so long to build and be basically a pushover for a good guild, basically barring people from raid content in the game (or something to that nature). All in all Intrepid have their work cut out for them.

Space Monster posted:(Dungeons and raids won't be tied to specific nodes though. They'll be points of interest scattered around the map that get 'activated' when a nearby node grows and extends it's zone of influence to where that dungeon is. So they may not need anything like one dungeon-per-node.) Stormgale posted:Also I believe each node has a zone which may overlap? This makes a little more sense actually, I probably just heard "unique dungeons / raids" and also "dungeons and raids tide to nodes" and figured it was what it meant.

LITERALLY MY FETISH posted:It’s only a debug feature if you don’t care about how finished the terrain looks from flight. This exact thing is the reason why blizzard had to redo the old world for cataclysm. You can’t hand wave it away as “lol no clip” because that’s objectively not what it is. If everyone is stuck on the ground you get to cut some corners and make certain things not actually solid, since players can’t reach them, but now suddenly you have to do all that work because you want a couple of guys to feel special? If it’s supposed to be a pvp raid thing, you can still do that with just big monsters that the guilds can capture as a group and keep around for defending sieges. It's 2020 though, technology has come far enough where you won't even have "unconnected textures" in the mountains anyhow, a computer is just going to handle all that non-sense and blend it all. Making your world look pretty from more than just what a player on the ground can see is also not just for flying mounts but allows you to add a lot more verticality in the game if you wish- I mean, I don't want flying mounts as much as the next guy, but at this point I'll take an autistic vision where 80% of the ideas are actually good and a chance to fail over whatever the gently caress people think is good in MMO's right now like ESO / FF14 (because those games are genuinely top shelf poo poo) and sacrifice 30 people on flying mounts on the server. I genuinely believe this game has as much chance as any other MMO to succeed but at least they're listening, so go to the forums and argue your case on why there should be zero flying mounts because like what's the other loving option?

What do you really expect from this type of game though? It's like- Yes it's an MMORPG but the key really is making it fun for the casual and hardcore alike. If you feel like you have no impact on the game then it's poorly designed- which goes for the hardcore also. Though, their impact should be entirely different, it's still a goal to make it satisfying for everyone. But that's like the age old unanswered game designed question "How do we get everyone to play". It also sounds like you're a little annoyed that you know you'll never be in a role that gives you a flying mount? Neither will I? I don't care though. Assuming the game is good and fun my only goal is to terrorize everyone in PvP and be in a guild that actively fights for nodes regardless of the PvE advantages. As long as I can get a bit of "notoriety" for my self, in a sense that people know who I am (I don't even need to be good at the game) I think my goal is complete.

a neurotic ai posted:Either they let the streamer overlords essentially shape and control the world as they choose, in which case it is a sweatfest, or they implement some sort of 'catch-up' or casual empowerment mechanic to bridge the gap, in which case the grogs will get mad. Okay I get what you're trying to get at, like the whole "a frigate in EVE can still tackle a battleship and be useful" kind of gameplay. Yeah well, WoW is an incredibly lovely game (these days) made by people who stopped caring about the overall feel of it and care more about money. With the exception of low level players, any MMO that does things correctly should be keeping the gap between the grognards and the casuals relatively small. The further you increase the gap the less fun it is for the majority of your playerbase. Even for me, if that gap is too big I won't like the game either but then I don't think anyone will. How they fix it is really the key, you just can't be giving people free items every 2 months to catch them up- It completely defeats the purpose of an MMO (And all the other poo poo WoW does.) Correct me if I'm wrong but I think Steven answered somewhere (Maybe Summit1g's interview) that the max difference between a geared player and a casual will be 50%. That's pretty drat good honestly, if you can 2v1 the best player on the server as some lovely geared idiots, I think you're useful. Vanguard Warden posted:This sounds plausible, but then I'm reminded of how WvW in Guild Wars 2 eventually just became two giant zergs rotating around the map in circles trading forts back and forth because that was better for XP and rewards than anything involving actual fights. Stormgale posted:I'm assuming the PVP players want to fight the bosses for loot, so sure they might fire over things but as we've seen in wow classic with the scarab lord, people will easily put PVP to the side for prestiege, also win trading. I think there are going to be more players who want access to better loot (including pvpers) who will fight the "burn em all down" types I'm not saying they don't have their work cut out for them in balancing the wants / needs for having different Metropolis, but that's Intrepid's entire goal. If they fail and everyone wants to have the same Metropolis or rotate between say 8 of them then they've really hosed up.

I don't think the models are bad. Hell even some of the good animations are pretty good ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8M68S6DEfw ). I think it's just a combination of mismatched theme mostly (probably because the game's theme is "generic fantasy" and that basically covers everything and anything). Things look out of place because either we can't see where they're meant to exist or they're just literally not meant to exist in the universe.

It's miserable when nobody is around at all for lower level content that everyone's beaten and spamming chat begging for a healer for your lovely cavern for hours and by the time you find a healer it's past the tank's bedtime and they leave. It isn't even a time thing, I spent 12 hours on classic in a day, it was just painfully awful to experience. I don't want to get into a huge argument about WoW but WoW is an entirely different game, the game is almost designed around dungeon finder at this point. The reason it's so hard to find friends is because of poo poo like flying mounts, because there's nothing to do in the world (Just world quests every day), because questing (At least at the release of BFA) was over in 2-3 days, because everything is instanced or phased, because guilds are pointless now (outside of hardcore raiding), because all the content is so easy (elites removed from the world) because crafting is completely gutted and there's no need to trade with people anymore, etc, etc, etc. Is systemically ingrained in WoW's design and playerbase at this point. It doesn't actually need to be this way. Should feel natural to find friends in an MMO, which is literally why people are so against flying mounts and all these systems. Its so forced and it's not a community anymore. And I'm not really trying to poo poo on WoW, If that's what you want, if that's genuinely what you want, like literally no interaction with other players, you've got your small handful of friends that you play with then great, that's honestly fine.

They seem weirdly proud about the combat design, but at the same time spout things like "we're still in alpha so this will all change". But I keep asking my self "will it though? because it doesn't look like you recognize what's wrong". At a real base level, the netcoding looks off, the animations / slidey-ness of everything makes it look really weird. Furthermore, they've apparently got quests in the game but I'm yet to see anything that isn't just like: walk here and kill X or do Y- So I wonder what is actually going to keep people interested because it's unlikely they'll even do quests more fun than say WoW. In a vacuum everything looks alright so far, but everything together doesn't feel right. Like the overall aesthetic is off, as if it's just a mish-mash of designs that don't really feel like they exist in the same IP. Them also touting this 250vs250 and saying that they've had it working and they're thinking about taking it higher is really concerning to me because I genuinely do not believe it in the slightest. I'm super worried this entire game is just going to end up doing weird loving phasing because 500 players all in the same spot casting spells we all know how that's going to go, they haven't just invented new tech that can magically handle it.

Kickstarter MMOs are such a poo poo show. It's really just a race to get real funding, and then your development process actually starts because until then you're just cutting corners everywhere to try to get an investor client out there to show the game off enough.

Space Monster posted:Alpha 1 for this indicates that they at least have a game loop, and recent videos showcasing the new hybrid combat system look promising. I don't really care about the owner's personal history or how they choose to make money as long as the game comes out with most of the features they've outlined. I'm cautiously optimistic. Kickstarter MMORPGs might as well be a scam. The issue is that you can't Kickstarter for the amount you need to make the game (at least not in a reasonable situation)- So pretty much all development up until a certain threshold is just content that is built to gain more pledges / investors. They do this loop-de-loop several times over until you finally can develop the game "for real" and in an amount of time that would be considered reasonable (like for example from the start of the UE5 switch, 4 years from there- And that's assuming they hit the money on everything from this point on.) All that said though I think that Ashes is looking good but I am skeptical like the rest of us that it's going to come out in any reasonable time frame. Good news is we don't need to put any skin in the game and can wait for people to say that A2/beta/Release is fun before even jumping in. Let the spergs waste all their money on cosmetics.

Perpetually in a state of not truly finishing things, or committing. They fill their year up with these "showcases" and then time passes and you wonder how it's been 2 years since the Character creator update, and likely nobody has even worked on it since then or it's completely scrapped.

I think the issue(s) is that you need a solid framework on your company, and have secured funding on your idea before you start (And lets be real, 100mil is probably the minimum these days). Crowdfunding is not the way and is basically a hail mary into it. Even this game which can afford to pay 150 staff at this point is struggling because the company is so new (And Intrepid was basically the most lucky you could ever be). In the West you have all these startups with decent ideas, but they can't fund it, or their companies are so fresh they don't have correct pipelines in place to go at the correct speed, and in the East it's the opposite except all their mmo ideas are poo poo they lean into gacha/mtx/p2w.
