Phase 2 Toxicity | LoreForged Podcast | Episode 70

[@keith4776]

One thing you got wrong, this isn't an Ashes toxicity issue, it's a Vyra toxicity issue. I started phase 2 in Vyra and I got to the point where I would log off angry, so I didn't even want to play. I switched to Lyneth and completely different atmosphere. Generally people are cool and even when tension flairs up it's competitive but not toxic.

You're always a good way to start the week. Happy about Ashes and our community. Less happy about Kash's soup strainer!

[@LoreForged]

Thanks for watching!

[@Spittfyre]

Thanks for the episode boys. Extremely important to touch on things like this, glad we got to hear your thoughts

[@LoreForged]

Thanks for watching, we appreciate you!

Hello guys, its good seeing you still on the top of your game, podcast is great. Funny how I decided to check AoC again after half year or so and I find out there is this kind of drama. Crazy.

[@LoreForged]

Thanks for the kind words and for watching!

[@AurorJeffrey]

Glad you’re voicing this, Jibbs, because Intrepid is risking a lot by not ripping these bad actors out.

[@nanfoodles]

Ty for the Monday morning video, helps make Monday not so bad. I like the changes to discord. The consolidation of channels makes it easier to yack with peeps. Ty much!

[@LoreForged]

Thanks for the love and for watching!

[@Azhrei776]

So much scalp. Just missing a sweet sweet mustache. BRING BACK THE STACHE! Happy New Year!

[@michaellindsey7443]

Is your guild recruiting? as an older guy, it seems like I share a lot of your views and would be interested in joining

[@LoreForged]

We are! Visit LoreForged.com and click on the guild discord link to apply.

[@michaellindsey7443]

@ thank you!

[@willyjayb6392]

I think maybe Vyra is just a toxic mess, lynneth seems much less toxic

[@SteakSauceIceCream]

It's the resna server that's made the community toxic. Og vyra was great

[@LoreForged]

Thanks for watching!

[@Ilstad88]

P1 Vyra guilds needs to make a super alliance, where we smack down on the Resna refugees

[@LoreForged]

That'd be a big alliance! Thanks for watching!!

[@mobtek]

Did either of you get saluted by a random dwarf this week? ;)

[@LoreForged]

There's a solid chance that happened! ;)

[@Rasmanit]

I don't think they server wipe. If they do they are going to lose a ton of testers for good imo. But I also don't see any perma bans in the horizon either.

[@LoreForged]

Thanks for watching!

[@novacadian4745]

Perhaps things are toxic at a guild level. Not being in any large guild things have been smooth as silk.

[@LoreForged]

Good to hear!

[@Griffin519x]

I have started a list of people that kill low level players or steal low level player’s stuff. When I’m higher level I will avenge them 😂 They weren’t exploiting and doing things that’s perfectly okay in the game, but now they’re on my s***-list

[@LoreForged]

“In best Emperor voice” DEW IT.

[@mattmason8474]

What guild are these guys a part of? Is it called Loreforged?

[@LoreForged]

Hi Matt! Our in-game guild is called the Black Talon Trading Company.

[@knetikqt]

I honestly wish developers in all gaming genres would keep lists of guilds and players. Epherium, POLAR, Nova, Enveus have been exploiters and just filled with toxic trash in EVERY. SINGLE. MMORPG. Of course it isnt every player, but the leadership PUSHES this culture. Just stop them immediately.

[@Carimm60]

Try? THey did come in a screw over all of us from P1 Vyra

[@LoreForged]

Thanks for watching!

[@Taurynalthor]

While the toxicity can be frustrating, I believe it provides a valuable opportunity for us to address important issues. It's essential to keep in mind that, as Kash mentioned early on, this is an alpha version of the game. Our primary role is to test it rather than to simply “play.” Of course, a natural byproduct of this process is that we will, hopefully, enjoy ourselves along the way. To return to my original point, everyone participating wants to be here. This means that those of us involved are more invested than usual. Consider how the issues you've raised will impact the experience when the game is released to a wider audience. It’s crucial that we address these problems now to improve the overall experience later on.

[@LoreForged]

Great perspective! Thanks for watching!

[@nanfoodles]

Speaking to the drama and the jerks out there doing this. Im ignoring them and it takes allot of effort. I would like to see things done like leashing of mobs be under controlle. Ask for Quality of Life 1. LFG tools (not a group finder) 2. Crafting UIs are to clicky and not intuitive. 3. Speed up travel. Maybe the longer your mounted the faster your mount goes. Or add 30% speed boost to all mounts. Your killing me. Casual player and 1/2 my time playing on a work night is running to teams that dont always pan out.

[@LoreForged]

We fully expect Intrepid to make the right call with how to handle this one. Thanks for watching!

[@nanfoodles]

@@LoreForged I agree

[@mattmason8474]

The root of many issues is there is just too many people for too few resources.

[@LoreForged]

Great perspective! Thanks again for watching!

[@86Corvus]

Time to decide what other game you will try to attach yourself to.

[@KashQuests]

We like this one. Thanks. Appreciate the view and comment.
