    Ashes of Creation

    Yeah, there are two problems with the dev cycle taking forever: 1. There's a window and you can miss it. The UE5 upgrade was to give them cutting edge graphics. If they take another 2 (more?) years it wont be. All the 15 and 20 year old zoomers who watch Asmongold and had this put on their...

    Ashes of Creation

    To give an idea of how long this game is going to be in development, FF14 started development in 2005. It released in 2010, was a disaster, then shut down in 2012 while it was being remade into a game that didn't suck shit. That game (ARR), basically a complete remake aside from the engine and...

    Ashes of Creation

    This biggest concern is theyve stalled in progress for two years. The MLM scam guy making a game tailored specifically for his interests with zero people who can tell him no is a problem for sure but not necessarily game destroying. At the least, everyone's known this going in for years now...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    Simple solution: You dont let the current devs do it. I'm not into this Hardcore shit but it's the perfect example. Outsource it to community members who actually care and are actually talented. The Liquid general manager for MMOs brought this up - just give people the client and let them...

    Ashes of Creation

    Asmongold went over basically all the recent PVP and PVE arguments while watching a LazyPeon video and I still find the PVE argument wanting. Comes back to my point - game is designed a certain way and you want to tear it up and make it something different. World bosses are not hard, in fact...

    Ashes of Creation

    There are 1mil+ people who think they want it. What you're suggesting is there aren't 1mil+ people who will hang around after they find out theyre the losers. And youre probably right there You're not turning Ashes of Creation into a game that it isnt at this stage, though. It's already...

    Ashes of Creation

    This game is built on the archetype of a Lineage/Archeage kMMO PK grinder with a side appeal to western DAOC/Guild Wars RvR types. It's not going to be a game for pure PvErs in the dynamic that we think of them. There are some PvE types who really enjoy crafting and being the person behind...

    Respect for Cavill to peace out after they destroyed his show I'm kind of surprised they didnt replaced him with a black guy

    Ashes of Creation

    Warhammers engine was a pile of shit but it was still a lot of fun for about 2 months. If I can get that out of this game it'll be a win for me and that might be the best hope if they keep putting off showing combat

    Ashes of Creation

    It needed a lot, A LOT of work coming out of A1. It wasnt impossible that could occur but we've all seen this happen a hundred times where something looks subpar early in development and then never gets better. This...actually seems to be getting better? One thing I felt a year ago was they...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I actually cant get over how much the drannies look like EQ2 models to me. Where they were just ugly and super uncanny valley contrasted to what Blizzard was releasing back then. They've fully transitioned into the out of touch, ossified husk they once replaced.

    Lost Ark Online

    Just from tuning in to streams there's definitely a UI designer or art guy from Aion who worked on this. Way too many things that look similar
