[@TangentsofCreation]

Almost brother!!!

[@crimelord90]

Is it November 8th yet? 😢

[@ZapatosVibes]

For real xD

[@joeshingo1]

@crimelord90 you're gonna effing love it!! Add me (if there’s a friends list by then) in game if you roll on Resna

[@alexkompare-pavlic3935]

Not yet

[@Crix_Gaming]

That Corruption bug was INSANE. So glad they fixed it.

[@Thrakedon]

I hope they extend the longbow range back closer to what it was pre alpha 2 launch.

[@TangentsofCreation]

Same, it feels so lack luster now.

[@Thrakedon]

I posted a forum post on it in the ashes of creation forums and put some of my thoughts on ranger and bows in there so hopefully we get some thoughts.

[@blueknight8709]

Hopefully you get better soon and I hope it's nothing serious like popcorn lung that I got from working in a popcorn factory.

[@Pallywagz]

You're down with the sickness. Hell yeah.

[@Kartasia6735]

Jamie, thanks for keeping up on all the content changes and game fixes Intrepid is providing us. I know doing this content can be taxing while trying to enjoy Alpha 2 as well. I just want to say thanks to you, Anie, and the other KLC officers and members trying to set us up for success. HAMMER DOWN!

[@Ludullu]

Wake me up when the Thursday ends

[@TangentsofCreation]

I feel this in my soul 🫠

[@YoshisSupport]

for the question at the end of the video; I would say biggest issue i ran into was how does the novice/journeyman/etc progression work and how to advance it is not clear (heck i still dont know how you would advance a gathering profession since the npc's only had processing+crafting) because the UI doesnt really tell you anything about them + lack of specific novice resources so i didnt think copper existed for like 10hrs of gameplay lol also the UI doesnt mention the fact that long term you cant level everything on one character but i know about that at least p:

[@rocsek_]

Yeah me... that's me... thank god for mouse axis flip. Should make things for me so much better. I felt like I couldn't truly get into playing. I did adjust slightly over the weekend, but it was like walking around with 2 left shoes on.

[@lakii1041]

I hate the fact they completely scratched UI from alpha 1 which was absolutely amazing, now everything looks like a placeholder. Also the NPCs are randomly generated, they can have pink or blue hair which, not only it looks horrible, but doesn't fit in a game like ashes. Even the main quest npc givers are AI generated, compared to A1 which I believe had some unique looking NPCs They could have at least gave us a somewhat playable starter zone and some kind of introduction to the game Most of all I hate the forced TAA graphic settings which makes everything look blurry, but its a core engine feature so I dont have a clue how or if they are gonna adress that I do enjoy the combat though, but that's pretty much it considering it's only the 1st phase of A2 I would say A1 was more enjoyable to play and A2 in some ways feels like a downgrade, but I guess we have to wait until phase 2 or 3 to see a game in a more playable state

[@ggNotSuree]

That guy in your party I bet is a pilot lol. My brother was an Air Force pilot and he always inversed his controls when he’d play a shooter 😂

[@Hat_Uncle]

Sleep, get three good nights of sleep. Always best bet for getting better. Lack of sleep is the sickness generator.

[@TangentsofCreation]

You are not wrong! 😴

[@Chuenz]

I heard that the gear enhancement system is similar to Lineage 2 where your gear can break. This should be completely removed we are not playing a P2W Korean game. Make it super hard and long to upgrade, but remove the RNG and the possibility of breaking and losing that item.

[@blackdragon971]

I completely agree. I've never liked the idea of working on an item only to have it break, which causes me to start over. If the mats need to be hard to find to craft it then sure.

[@davidsumpter4933]

They need to add a toggle for your personal nameplate. I already know who I am.

[@TangentsofCreation]

I agree!

[@Cookiesandcrumbles]

i hope they can add an option to remove the shaking screen.

[@madmarx912]

Do people who were in the pre-A2 on Thursday have PTR access?

[@Nephireal]

no

[@veil1792]

*You guys wouldn't all be getting sick, if you did this thing called Sleeping!* 😆

[@TangentsofCreation]

Not gonna happen 🤣

[@TheRealTrucido]

Group leveling as a requirement is kind of lame.

[@brimstonevalar6053]

Mindless mob grinding simulator

[@joshabernathy972]

Hard disagree. If you want to play a game you can solo PvE all the way go play one of the 1000s of those that already exist.

[@brimstonevalar6053]

@@joshabernathy972 is not about solo pve...I dislike mmorpg that don't force players to group up but mindless mob grinding over and over again? How is that fun? How is that even immersive? Better have group content of various design and content for solo players when you cant find a group...what will happen with new players after the initial wave moves and and here is you alone in the staring zone...

[@CestPasFaux-kt9zq]

@@joshabernathy972mobs have 0 spell or 1 It is just bashing hp beam monsters by spamming flashy AOE spells full kite How long it is gonna be funny until you realize how boring it is ? Come one just look the gameplay…. Bland This youtuber is a fanboy with 0 brain so he cannot understand

[@blackdragon971]

@@brimstonevalar6053 I highly doubt it will stay this way when the game is completed. Right now it's the best way to lvl, but when they release the game it'll probably be more like archeage which you can do a few different things to lvl. It would be odd if they just kept it to where people had to group up to lvl. I do want to add that I actually do like the idea of elite monsters actually being hard and requiring a group for is nice.

[@thisismychannel607]

Looks like it plays a lot like wow

[@BRADLIKESPVP]

Any way to get into the PTR testing as an A2 tester?

[@TangentsofCreation]

I believe they plan to open it up for other A2 testers in the future.

[@larsbaer3508]

isnt ptr under nda ?

[@TangentsofCreation]

Just visual

[@larsbaer3508]

Oh makes Sense, Hope they dont crunch too hard xD

[@Crash1991.]

The options for AMD users, what are those?

[@TangentsofCreation]

Screen percentage which I believe is tied to FSR.

[@andyh4747]

They need to flesh out the mobs in the northern nodes, there's not much up there to exp on, nothing in the lvl 12-15 range.

[@ZombieBrainsDev]

Isn't PTR stuff under NDA?

[@TangentsofCreation]

Only visual

[@ZombieBrainsDev]

Ahh ok.

[@That_Guy_You_Know]

What did you have to do to get in the PTR?

[@TangentsofCreation]

Test a ton in A1 👀

[@That_Guy_You_Know]

@TangentsofCreation Oh really? Wow. So you essentially played a lot, gave a lot of good feedback and then they reached out to you? I wonder if they will do that for A2 wave 1 🤔

[@TangentsofCreation]

@@That_Guy_You_Know I could see them doing that. I was also in a tank focus group with a few other testers. Been no lifing test 😅

[@MrKevlarkent]

Who has access to the PTR? 🤔 Only pre-alpha testers?

[@TangentsofCreation]

Currently it's only the Pre Alpha testers but I believe this will open up to more later down the road!

[@Auld17]

Jamie, don't forget your Vitamin C.

[@TangentsofCreation]

It's gonna be a long week 😅

[@andyh4747]

Ewww inverted mouse 😮
