Daaaamn, see i knew something epic was going down that day, sensei senses were kicking in. 😂😂 glad you guys had fun, and hey check that out! Remember tbat VoV episode where i said the monster coins were pretty close? Lol weve already been experiencing them, but i know they still need some polish. Grats my guy! Wish i wasnt away doing holiday vibes while everyone games but its all good. Phase two is near

[@Nyce-Gaming]

@@WildFyreAshes detective Frye was on the case!

[@coldsteel865]

The Monster Coin events are so cool. To have the opportunity to play an epic mob like this in the video would be incredible. The fun you can have changing things up like this is excellent. I'm really looking forward to delving deeper into more content like this. I love the fact that the team was able to create the Giants so fast. The mob variety in this game is going to be epic. Absolutely love the fact that the creators of the game queue up in the world to have fun. I am glad they get to see so many testers enjoying the game. Just imagine what this will be like the first time a new player joins a server when it is in beta release. I hope Steven and the team stay focused on building a solid foundation for everything critical to get right in an MMORPG. They are definitely finding the fun.

[@Nyce-Gaming]

@@coldsteel865 well said. What they’ve managed to accomplish already has been impressive. A lot of developers talk passion, with intrepid you really see the passion

[@FirestoneTales]

Its like a much better and more in-depth "Cursed Swords" system from Lineage 2. I love it!

[@jeremiahbrownlee2299]

Monster Coins sounds really cool.

[@TygerBlueEyes]

I agree

[@Nyce-Gaming]

@@jeremiahbrownlee2299 I hope I get to control one of these!

ohh shit i see dual wield daggers on that list !!!! i hope thats forshadowing the rogue !!!

[@haydend3469]

Hey Nyce I hope they address the potential issue with regions with high level content being more beneficial for higher level players to become citizens of their nodes. That could cause regions with lower level content to have nodes primarily for lower level players or players that prefer to be closer to the lower level content. They have to balance out the content throughout regions and make the guild and node systems support being a citizen of a node that’s farther from more valuable content. If they could somehow make it so the game doesn’t revolve around an endgame and higher level content and groups aren’t significantly more valuable then it may not be a problem to have regions designed for lower level content. It would be great if Stephen discussed the planned design for level progression and regional node strategy and stability

[@Nyce-Gaming]

@@haydend3469 completely agree. The pois/grinds around a New Aela vs Winstead is incredibly different in number, efficiency, and low level friendliness

[@EndlessFootball]

@@Nyce-GamingI think the vassal system could alleviate this somewhat? Vassal nodes will always be lvl capped beneath their parent node and therefore should have more lower level content

[@Nyce-Gaming]

@ correct! Only issue I could foresee is wanting varying servers cause some POIs are gonna just be better. However with more systems online later such as vassalship, more land, more POIs, and simply just a larger land mass will put the concerns to rest for sure

[@soa0086]

I hope they release the game soon. Seems very good MMORPG already

[@Nyce-Gaming]

@@soa0086 yea it’s only getting better from here so it’s cool to see the foundation is well thought out

[@olivierlafontaine9180]

Implementation of a gradual change in LOD for ground objects (grass and similar elements) as we approach them. I think it would be beneficial, especially when the object's color differs from the ground color. Currently, the grass and other objects spawn abruptly as soon as they enter the range. Another solution could be to increase the range, but I feel this might overheat GPUs. This abrupt spawning is the main immersion-breaking visual issue for me at the moment.

[@Nyce-Gaming]

@@olivierlafontaine9180 yea currently the render distance is insanely short in some server grids

[@bigolebuddeh5266]

any optimization? or fleshing out any quests? grinding for 10 days straight is cool and all, but having options would be cool too

[@brimstonevalar6053]

Not in this phase

[@Nyce-Gaming]

@@bigolebuddeh5266 not all things coming was listed in this stream, but we have a lot of cool features coming to get out of that grind loop to do something a little different or just see new things

[@brimstonevalar6053]

Dwarfs are my favourite race and can't wait to play one they look amazing I hope they make them a bit taller in the vídeos they look more like a hobbit, hope for some small buffs to tank maybe vengeance in this case since I find it very underwhelming to use in pve.

[@Nyce-Gaming]

@@brimstonevalar6053 yea vengeance needs an up in percentage

[@Grimorse]

Ancient Mordor coming to AOC, confirmed lol.

[@perfectheretic]

Quick question: Is it confirmed that there will be no per-established towns/cities in the game? Like Ironforge/Stormwind type of towns ruled by NPCs? I couldn't find straight forward answer and yeah I understand the Node system.

[@Nyce-Gaming]

@@perfectheretic there likely will be in the form of racial starting areas like we see with lionhold :) I think there will be an underrealm tulnar one too 👀 if not we’ll only have POIs but I’m sure

[@perfectheretic]

@@Nyce-Gaming Cool, I'll join the alpha once the Dunir drops. And thanks for answering my question, Nyce :D

[@patrickobrienstr]

How do you think intrepid will stop monster coins from becoming pay to win since I know you can purchase monster coins and then attack a node.

[@Nyce-Gaming]

@ will be tough to make not feel pay to win if it’s in the shop imo

[@Nyce-Gaming]

@ adding RNG helps

[@azwesjr]

Lots of EQ stuff Befallen and the bazaar! lol

[@CobaltsRealm]

how about Node advancement ( lvl 4 ) ?

[@Nyce-Gaming]

@@CobaltsRealm I think that’s scheduled for phase 3 last I remember

[@Xhotic]

looks great but side note i still wish they would turn down the damn bloom on all the spell effects/abilities xD still think they should revamp the look of abilities to look less like unreal 5 demo effects with 10x bloom attached

[@Nyce-Gaming]

@@Xhotic some are insanely vibrant lol

[@TheAverageJoee]

Game looks like world of war craft. We need a game that resembles eso pvp. By far the best pop game made, nothing comes close.

[@Humpdurious]

I appreciated the information, I learned a lot on this one! I wasn't overly familiar with content coming in phase 2, but I'm excited for it. I heard rogue is expected around 2 weeks after phase two. I'm actually gonna hold off a bit on playing much until rogue is out. But yea, great video man!

[@Nyce-Gaming]

@@Humpdurious rogues arrival will be legendary! I’m testing it as soon as it gets on the ptr Thanks!

@@Arxeon. I haven’t had this issue. Maybe one crash every other day. I hope it gets better for you cause there’s some issues I’ve had that others haven’t had. Make sure to submit your logs to intrepid

@@Uberknaller The PC is actually brand new only a smidge from the top of the line stuff. I got it recently to be ready for Ashes

[@magdalenavalentinastegaru8531]

Why would you start with 20 sec of curse? And why do players just wait for this ordeal to finish?If it is a mandatory mechanic, bad choice on developers. Yes, it is a fantasy game but who needs 20 sec of being cursed for world building?

[@Nyce-Gaming]

@@magdalenavalentinastegaru8531 what?

[@magdalenavalentinastegaru8531]

​@Nyce-Gaming I can rewrite in German and Romanian if it helps. There is a distiction between grim and dark and plain gross. This gameplay scene it is not a good advertisement for the game.
