Top 5 mage clip with Bard being the top Mage. As a bard main I love it.

[@Nyce-Gaming]

@@dwgautier he was the the true mage of the clip jk jk

[@dwgautier]

​@@Nyce-Gamingboth the mage and the bard played real nyce. That bard though was top tier with the call outs and healing, cc and damaging like a boss.

4:18 curious choice for 1vx. Those 2 are level 11 and 12, the group they attack is 6, 7,7, 9? At very least that means the attackers have the vendor 10 gear and weapons, which is a massive power upgrade over the trash you are forced to use before level 10 (unless you get very lucky with drops). Most people dont even bother to buy pre 10 gear. The attackers are also at max HP and mana, and I doubt the same can be said about the defenders.

[@Nyce-Gaming]

@@definitelynotadam true. Gear and level are currently huge power creeps especially before 10. However from what I’ve seen, numbers typically have the advantage and even more so with comms. Tough to say though cause you’re not wrong, but I’d still say the group of 2 were at a disadvantage and had to coordinate well to win that fight

[@yiannit20]

Exactly this. The disparity in level and gear makes a huge difference. A fighter that level could of probably killed the whole group easy.

[@8654ZuluFoxtrot]

Yeah, it's going to be a very frustrating game in that aspect. Any high level character can run up and wipe a whole group if they are engaged with a tough enemy by simply ganking from behind and taking out the support classes. It's complete cowardice and it's supported by the Devs. Although, Steven just found out that his pathetic ideas about this has already backfired with the Asmondgold debacle that happened last weekend. They have already panic mode implemented PvP rules, of which Steven tried to convince everyone was purposefully not implemented yet because it wasn't ready, but magically was ready within about 1 day of the incident. I wouldn't have a huge issue with the cowardice shown in this video if you didn't lose a good amount of the glint and gear you got during hours of grinding, only to wipe due to 1 single high level character ganking you from behind. It would be extremely easy to fix this issue by simply making it so if you are not flagged for PvP you can still be attacked but you don't lose anything when you die to PvP. The only way you get the "high risk/high reward" that Steven promises with this game is if you flag for PvP while you are grinding mobs....simply increase the percentage chance of drops and it will incentivize people to flag, or not, depending if they want the better chance of getting good drops. This stuff isn't rocket science, and many games have come up with decent solutions to curb this kind of cowardly play where they actually get rewarded for it.

@@8654ZuluFoxtrot scaling and balance are still on the way most likely and random PK on lowbies will be very rare as there is little reason to get corrupted for killing low levels.

[@Krastty]

@@8654ZuluFoxtrot or maybe just if you kill 5lvl down from your level you drop nothing from them... or if you kill someone in you level category like 1-9,10-19, 20-29 you drop something from them.. if they are not red

[@RomtimBS]

Great vid! Loved to see my lvl99 lumberjacking video there :)

[@Nyce-Gaming]

@@RomtimBS the artisan guru right here

[@mcmarkmarkson7115]

To be fair in the last fight. They were like double the level than half the team ;-)

[@ImaITman]

Just so everyone is aware - Black Crown killed and looted Divine Order. If you go frame by frame you can actually see Divine Order looting their own from a mob that killed them. I've been watching this unfold between the two groups and it's hilarious as Black Crown just got confused and now they keep fighting all the time lol

[@Nyce-Gaming]

@@ImaITman the plot thickens!!! Interesting 🤔

[@MonsDerrMan]

@ImaITman Wrong. The exact body (the green one) that was looted by the player Mylthessia from Divine Order, was Aetherius from Black Crown, our tank, who was rezzed, so the nameplate above the corpse disappeared. Pause at the start of the clip you can see the proof yourself, look at the body, the name tag and the guild tag.

[@ImaITman]

@@Nyce-Gaming I also heard that one of the divine order guys was streaming when they didn't get randomly ganked by a large group and Divine Order wiped Black Crown off the face of the map after they ganked their leveling group lol. I haven't seen that video though, but it wouldn't surpise me. Divine Orders always been friendly with me and my folks and Black Crown is ALWAYS trying to steal farming spots. Probably what they were doing if you watch the beginning of the video here. Divine Order looks like they had more people fighting this mob and Black Crown tried to steal it.

[@JonathanAllain]

@@ImaITman I wasn't streaming, but I have the video of the original gank as I was tanking in Sephillion at the time and was the first one killed as I tried to grapple a guy off of a partner that got corrupted off a bug. Was a fun night :)

[@MonsDerrMan]

@@ImaITman Ahh the classic move of ignoring being proven wrong and changing the goalposts :D No biggie though, auto flagging on stealing loot is implemented for this weekend, so they actually have to put some skin in the game now. The PvP has been fun, will only get more fun now. P.S. There's a difference between stealing farm spots and pushing people out of the farm spots you've already been in for an hour when they steal your loot.

[@KajitYT]

2vx was awsome looks very interresting

[@nevrast-1]

lvl12 + another 11+ (looking at hp) vs bunch of 6-9s the difference between lvl10 gear and lvl1 is the astronomical.

[@blueknight8709]

For some reason I feel like it would be cool if they would add spell weaving to the game, the ability to combine skills or duel cast two different types of skills at once.

[@ragedroyko]

Loving these!

[@KINGGNARfrfr]

Great vid! Ready for the grind spot fights for rights

[@MonsDerrMan]

Great videos as always ❤Never let a guildies loot be yoinked even if it means going corrupt 😄 Thankfully Steven said that in time they'll be adjusting that system so people can't just run around picking up loot without flagging. Gotta have a risk if you want the reward.

[@Nyce-Gaming]

@@MonsDerrMan 👏 THIS. I’m hoping they get this implemented soon. I’d say 3-5 minutes minimum of being purple if you loot the ash pile of someone not in your group

[@MonsDerrMan]

@@Nyce-Gaming 100%! The worst part about it at the moment is people can loot without flagging, then if you kill them to get your loot back and go corrupt, they can now attack you STILL without flagging and now you're potentially losing full items 😄 Very frustrating feeling like people can just keep messing with you without risking anything

[@protobeing3999]

good stuff

[@ivlgames8760]

Amazing 2vx 😂 if they knew what they were doing they would have one shot them in a single aoe, those players were 4-5 levels below them. About level 7-8 which means they played the game for a couple of hours only.

[@danny3120]

Can you block spells with a shield in the alpha? That is supposed to be a thing in Ashes. The wiki even states there are shields specifically made for tanking spells, called sigils.

[@Nyce-Gaming]

@@danny3120 yup you can block spells from my testing

[@ThatJakeChap]

Out of curiosity, why'd everyone freak out when their guild mate got looted?

[@Nyce-Gaming]

Its essentially just taking some of someone's materials and 'currency' that they drop on death. Some take it more serious than others. A change was implemented that makes this now auto flag you

[@moontsuki9791]

I so torn apart between tank, fighter, mage and bard :x Can't make a choice

[@Nyce-Gaming]

@@moontsuki9791 it’s reallllly tough. I fell in love with tank tho fighter and ranger were tempting

Meh last video outnumbered but overleveled them by double not that great

@@RunAwaylilGirl one aoe? Even after I thoroughly broke down everything that happened in slow motion with extreme detail, your take away was that one aoe did that? 😩 I have failed you

[@heartless_gamer]

Is there a reason for the constant jumping with the bard clip? Hopefully hopping like that does not bring any sort of advantage in combat.

[@Nyce-Gaming]

@@heartless_gamer I could be wrong, but it sometimes just feels good in between skills and gets you just a tiny bit more distance especially with some stagnant abilities of the mage. When using a ranged weapon I’m typically’S-keying’ hopping backwards as well. Good thing is everyone can jump in combat so wouldn’t be an advantage per se

[@dwgautier]

A moving target can be disorienting to people, I think that is the main goal here. Anything to put the other side on tilt.

[@8654ZuluFoxtrot]

The game uses Tab Targeting, so there is not "advantage" other than a couple skills that are currently buggy and you get a result that is not intended...such as the Mage Blink gets more range on the Blink when jumping and timing it right.

[@Nyce-Gaming]

@@dwgautier yea I imagine being melee in action cam attacking a target jumping could be that one little extra thing to worry about far as reticle placement I’d suppose

[@wackyguyoverthirty]

Jumping helps to break the tab target

[@sawmanUK]

im making a mage, k bye

[@Nyce-Gaming]

@@sawmanUK straight up bombers

[@8654ZuluFoxtrot]

The biggest problem I have with the Mage class is that it's nothing new from any other game with a Mage class. They are elemental in nature, using fire, ice, electricity, and arcane damage. Fire Bolt, Lightning Bolt, Ice Bolt, Arcane Blast....etc......BORING! There is so much they could have done with this class and made it unique to this game. Other than that, it's decently fun to play and you are a true glass cannon that can easily be overwhelmed by just a couple of lower-level players ganking you.

[@keijo4359]

the bard/mage duo wasnt that impressive tho, those guys were lower lvl and did not even have lvl 10 skills open.. its okay fight nothing special tho

[@novercalis4846]

if you're those 8 players from the last clip - uninstall, this game aint for you lol.

[@lilkhmer5]

They had a huge level advantage and gear advantage. Probably later down the line it won't matter as much but the first 10 levels, gear and levels matter alot.
