Got linked up today. I laughed when apparently their server crashed right after making the link announcement. A precursor to Dec. 11th. It will be interesting.

Looking better and feeling smoother currently on PTR than last phases. I have no doubt Dec 11th will be a shitshow though. They had 10k people on one server last phase and it was chugging in some areas; there are going to be so many more people playing now due to dumb "EA launch" marketing.

Its much more ready for steam than pantheon was, gameplay and mechanics are great, PvE farming and crafting scratches old school open world itch, PLENTY of content just plenty...however, I think it will get destroyed on early reviews due to the audience being 20x bigger and generally not having the emotional sunk cost in the game as the pantheon people did and still do. Very much not ready for people that is attracting expecting a game without various little glitches, bugs, and lack of theme park hand holding.

Will be playing very very casual unlike the last 3 phases; focusing on MnM.

The fact it's being compared to Pantheon in many circles is crazy. I guess a lot of people can't tell the difference between the budgets.

Ashes mismanaged money, but it's still 300 employees vs maybe 5 people at VR. These two games should never be mentioned in the same conversation.

Comparison itself is telling of the people that write academic critiques and soliloquies without playing compared to those who talk about the games and actually play.

I think I posted this in one of the threads but pantheon is vision and money without experience, MNM is experience and vision without money, and ashes is experience and money without vision, and by that I mean a finite vision of what th game is without endless sprawl and feature creep.

If the three of them got together they could probably release a viable game.

Yeah I will try it out just to see if it is even possible to play. Want to try out the Summoner since that was the class I wanted to play. I really hope the item drop off mobs will be set similar to how Phase 1 was.

They're basically releasing this shitpile so they can recoup enough money to pay out the settlement they're on the hook for, right?
