I don't expect launch ready. I backed at kickstarter. 8 Years wait, for a half fleshed out biome, missing classes and so much content. It's been 8 years. You say is it fun? half the systems for crafting, gathering, nodes are not present, Is the leveling fun? you have to grind mobs as the other systems / quests aren't ready. It's going to be in alpha for another 5+ more and even then its not guaranteed to release with all the promised content if at all. Don't wana be a doomer, just being realistic, all out of copium.

Then weapon leveling and artisan leveling on top of that. And different types of weapons can be viable for different archetypes with their planned crafting and recipe variation system so there will probably be incentive to grind out a couple of different weapon types. So there’s at least clear cut content to grind for hopefully several months before the true end game grind. Yes, fingers crossed

Processing tends to be more about creating middle ground resources for crafting, rather than crafting themselves. Cooking may be the main exception. I see Alchemy is MOSTLY being about making compounds for acid etchings for weaponsmithing or components for arcane engineering. This you can have stations like distilling alembics and mortars and pestles. That said, I'd be surprised if consumable potions need another tier beyond Alchemy.

@@DoubleDrastik The idea I had was that they want every server to have a unique story different from others. Which is why it crossed my mind that it could be a possibility and it would give new content to explore after destruction and construction of different nodes for a few years.

SWG had truly unique crafting, and it was really worth it to know the best crafters on your server. As a dedicated prospector I had long lasting fruitful relationship with them, providing them with unique materials, and getting excellent gear in return. It doesn't seem that Ashes will come anywhere close to that as it is all very standardized.
@malismo2 ай бұрын
It would be really innovative in the long run if there is content we won't see/have seen until each node has been maxxed out. The cool thing is, this way there will always be "new" content on a server which can be unlocked by the player population on that server, which in turn reduces the pressure on Intrepid to have to constantly add new content. If that is the intent, I'd say that is pretty darn smart. Thanks for the very instructive video, nicely done.
@DarkMittenАй бұрын
@@malismo yeah it would give an insane amount of depth because a metropolis takes some amount of months to advance and sieges to destroy nodes take some time as well.

I like to think that there is content that is only accesable from leveling a node to the max level. If we think about it we have the ability to level all nodes to max level. With 5 to top level at a time. If a server is smart and work well together you could progressivly move max llevel nodes over time to unlock and experience all content by being selective of the nodes you wish to level and move...this would mean a server wide apprach to the game that will prob never happen but it is possible........Or a solution to this could be that each month a different section of content is unlock and relocked in a node area...this means we gain access to most to all content over time while still limiting access at any given time.....Or a 3rd option could be that the main content is like a wow raid where as secondary is mythic level 3rd level heroic and 4th level normal dougen. this would give incentives to move max level nodes but also keep contect accessable even if at a reduced level....just some quick thoughts of mine.
@DarkMitten4 ай бұрын
Yea I think each individual node having some sort of content locked behind being a metropolis would be really cool and would make every server have a unique story (until all nodes eventually level to metropolises at one point). But, I think more realistically metropolis level content is probably region locked. So if there’s 6 riverland nodes then any one of those 6 nodes will unlock the same content for the entirety of the river lands… only time will tell

Yeah some of the tools that’s equipped weren’t in the same slot compared to the other tool sets if they were the “basic” form of gathering for that profession. I develop theories and as I research more professions I find contradicting information. I think the most likely explanation may be that there’s the apprentice through journeyman gathering tool. Master to grandmaster gathering tool. Then group based gather tool which may just go up to journeyman but gathers bulk resources.
