Ashes of Creation

They always said this game was going to be niche. They are getting what they asked for I guess. The problem is, unless niche means whales, the game cannot survive long on a niche market. If they could have waited until Beta to go on Steam, they might have had better results. Everyone knows this , but as stated, clearly the funds must be drying out. Despite the recent hick-ups, the game did actually do better than I thought it was going to do on the first day.

How is it possible that they can't even manage Discord? I mean login server issues, DDOS, overloaded servers were always gonna be a problem...but Discord? They failed at just having Discord accounts that work??

Why in the world would you release a game, and within 24 hours, have a 1.9gig patch for it already... The 3 hour downtime after the servers went down (someone said 7 times) was to be expected though. A peak of ~26k players doesnt seem like it went very far with word of mouth or marketing, also.

Not sure it's marketing (although if I didn't check this thread, I wouldn't have even known it was going into EA).

It's more that I have zero faith in the team to do anything worthwhile with the game. Maybe 5 years ago I would've been onboard, but everything I've seen about this has been a disaster. And this just looks like a cash grab before they finally give up.
