HUGE Update! Bards, Quests, and More! - Ashes of Creation

[@justinwhite2725]

3:19 jest and mock being separate buttons is huge. Quick wit has a hot for allied and throws a tomato at enemies. If you have defensive targeting turned on (and every bard should ) it prioritizes the tomato meaning you have to deselect the target in order to quick wit an ally. This is a major qol for bards. This skill is our legel 1 default ability that every bard has.

[@ArmatisReviews]

Great overview. Excited to see how AoC continues to progress.

[@justinwhite2725]

Marionette change is good, allows it to be more useful in grinds. Casting marionette usually breaks nearly immediately, but humiliated is -30% danage to targets other than the caster (its the status Tank Taunt applies)

[@Roarrior]

@@justinwhite2725 love humiliation debuff!

[@justinwhite2725]

Lovely serenade change makes a ton of sense. Single target version is when you sre using it to support a main tank so the shield is a huge bonus. Glee (a HoT) on the area version is nice, because it's usually an 'oh shit' button when everyone takes a lot of damage.

MASSIVE buff for bards omg, can't wait to play next week

[@BlathnaidAOC]

These are huge updates! Can't wait for the 6 week update! The 10/20 update is looking like it'll be massive!!

[@rienvermeulen5051]

This is the first 3rd week (Minor patch) as announced in the roadmap, i wonder how massive the 6 week (major patch) is going to be.

[@Roarrior]

@@rienvermeulen5051 YUGE!!!

[@kfarbarata]

Its just me or the tank wall 6:05 should be on mage? It looks like a magic wall, or at least made it smaller in tanker and with colision the income damage will not hit either. If u make tanker + mage the wall becomes what it is right now (amazing stuning visual effect that looks like a magic wall).

[@MrNutzorg]

That has to be a typo for the mage accelerate blink. Bc it was not insta casting how its supposed to

[@Roarrior]

@@MrNutzorg oh?

[@MarkusMidori]

I’m scouring the Discord and I can’t find these patch notes. This is from today?

[@Roarrior]

@@MarkusMidori they posted them in the forums, they wouldn't fit on discord haha. They are from the ptr so unless you have ptr access you won't see them.

[@MarkusMidori]

@ thank you

[@ProfAzire]

@@Roarrior I thought these notes are still under NDA? Double check and be safe brother

[@Roarrior]

@@ProfAzire I asked before I posted 😉. The NDA is visual ptr gameplay only.

[@ProfAzire]

@@Roarrior Thats awesome! Loved the breakdown, and looking forward to more!

[@Thrakedon]

I as really sad to see ranger didn't see any significant changes with this patch. Hopefully it receives some love soon.

[@Roarrior]

@@Thrakedon all in due time.

[@ericgibbs3579]

The fixed my dialog box scroll bar yes!! Now hopefully no one else will run around for 2 hours when all you had to do was scroll down in a dialog box.

[@Pallywagz]

Hopefully the visual fix for the cleric ability also makes the chains appear at the target location, it seems to be random right now. Lol

[@Roarrior]

As long as it no longer blinds me I'm happy

[@justinwhite2725]

Ugh. The changes to Resonsnt Weapon are a massive debuffs. We can no longer stand there and auto attack, we now need to use more abilities to trigger it. Your bard wont be able to sustain your mana as well as they used to. Edit: okay the changes to other things grancing resonance stacks makes it okay. I use shielding dance a lot anyway so resonance stacks are in the cards. Also retrospectively, attack speed no longer matters as much on bards. I was using a short bow to proc resonant weapon more often, but inorefer to use a greatsword in combat. Now im not actually bound to using short bow.

[@alexisconnect2970]

They have ai voicing for npc but they have fully voiced lines for updates logs smh

[@Roarrior]

@@alexisconnect2970 I have already offered my services for voicing npcs! I have not heard back 😂

[@thezikaz]

TAKE. CARE. OUT. THERE

[@TheHollowGloom]

Mage blink upgrades don’t work and the wording for the bug fix makes no sense, soooo hopefully they fix 1 out of the 2 blink upgrades. You can’t insta cast after a blink, tested it this past weekend and never worked.

[@mykonpt8890]

the tooltip on that upgrade makes it sound like you automatically insta cast

[@TheSpinalator]

Where do you see this page, cause I cannot find it anywhere.

[@Roarrior]

@@TheSpinalator patch notes were listed in the forums under ptr. If you do not have access to the ptr you won't see them.

[@Spot-0n]

I'd love them to fix the fucking aggro. They stay on us forever and even if on a mount...

[@Roarrior]

@@Spot-0n the mob leashing is very loooong atm haha

[@Cimarb]

First! (did I do that right?... I get a cookie or something for that, I assume?)

[@Grux_ASG]

Yes, I’m sending 1 your way.

[@Pallywagz]

Automatic guild invite. 🎉😂😂

[@Roarrior]

I effing love you guys 🤣🤣

[@Cimarb]

@@Grux_ASG WOOOOOO awesome!

[@rienvermeulen5051]

I'll send milk, so you can have some proper milk and cookies!

[@justinwhite2725]

Spelled 'moar cowbell' wrong. Much dissapoint.

[@SeniorMoostacho]

I don't know If I would spend $180 a year @ $15 a month to play this. Seriously. I tend to play a game for Years and at that set price you buy it. Two years of play its already $360!!! Aahhhh. What??!! EQ, still the Original MMORPG is Free once purchase, unless you Want the play by yourself with the added in-game helper bot. GW2 is free, then a $25 price to upgrade, then still free monthly until you purchase an expansion, another $25. There's Literally a ton of fun free games. I still say Steven is a Goofball. Start will be Hot and Heavy, then the population will drop off to probably a few servers per continent. So, play for 3 years for $540.....it just goes on and on for a single game. 🤔 It's literally just a game and an ok one at that. Merp. And, it's Still not playable by the Masses. Steven continues to boost his Ego and play games. I won't be Surprised if it goes under or sold off to an Asian $$$ p2w company. Is it ready for Launch June 2025??!!

[@Roarrior]

@@SeniorMoostacho to each their own man. Wow and FFXIV. The 2 most popular MMORPGs around are still a monthly sub. Plus you have to purchase the game and expacs. At least you won't need to do that for ashes. It's like a daily visit to Starbucks for a 10$ coffee. Or subbing to Netflix or Disney. If it's your chosen route for entertainment then who cares. Pick your poison.

[@bloodcum4071]

I didn't see anything about making it so the 'Esc' key stops cancelling my god damn Bard songs. Annoying as hell.

[@Roarrior]

@@bloodcum4071 oof! /Bug it

[@bloodcum4071]

@Roarrior I did a few times. :P Just gotta wait and see. Love your vids, btw.
