Chapters

0:00 Intro
3:02 What kind of feedback are you guys looking for from players in the A2 and will you be giving players direction in what you guys are wanting feedback on?
7:30 When it comes to feedback, which systems in Ashes of Creation that will NEVER change due to feedback?
12:44 Will we get to test every single zone before Alpha 2 ends?
13:20 When it comes to the Alpha 2 testing, will the testers get to test all of the systems in the game before launch or will certain systems only be tested by private professional testers?
14:47 Will you give players tools in the Alpha 2 to level more quickly, have vendors with all profession recipes, gatherables, etc depending on what they want to test?
16:47 Has the size of the Metropolis increased given that world size expanded and node count decreased?
18:21 When is the Rogue Showcase?
19:57 Are there more superpowers to choose from for Node type tier 6 or is one superpower all there is?
22:49 SUMMON THE GODS!
23:31 Will starting areas be safe spaces similar to nodes for new players? Will there be plenty of safeguards in Nodes to protect players?
25:51 Can there be more than one metro in a castle’s ZOI?
27:48 Will Intrepid utilize sharding or maybe using the dynamic gridding to make sure the starting experience is as seamless as possible?
32:32 Has the Bounty Hunter system undergone any internal changes that we don’t know of?
34:24 Is there any way to work off death penalties or are they just timers that wear off?
36:50 Why do you hate PvERs?
40:24 When it comes to the 20% instanced PvE content, how much of that will be repeatable? Will the team give more instanced content if the players want it?
44:09 When it comes to complete classes, will the augment system provide just “flavor” or will we get transformed abilities into something new?
47:01 When it comes to attunements, are they still on the table as far as activating World Bosses like Firebrand like the way it was in A1?
48:29 What is the gameplay of religion in Ashes of Creation?
50:36 How fast or slow will the leveling experience be? Has that changed?
53:36 Most other gaming companies just suspend players for breaking ToS when buying 3rd party gold, exploit the game in some way knowingly, or bot farm endlessly. Will Intrepid take the heavy handed approach and permanently ban those offenders instead of just suspending them?
57:40 What do you do to chill and relax when your not working on Ashes of Creation?
58:58 The Team being in crunch and how it affects the team.

1:08:23 Conclusion - Thank you Steven!


What is Ashes of Creation?

Ashes of Creation is a unique take on the MMO experience. Our world structure is dynamic and built to react to the actions of our players. Cities will rise and fall, their populations based on the history of the world as the players create it. Quests will unlock as these populations gather, their needs grow, and secrets are unlocked. As the world’s NPC structure is established in real time, players will have the ability to destroy what they’ve created, paving the way for new development, new populations, and real change. Political strife and intrigue will play a very real role in the structure of your world. Gone are the days of static worlds, change is here to stay.
