AoC game crashes every time I am logging in to a realm even if I have a 10k$ expensive customized PC. It is impossible to play this game and the support team was totally useless in solving my problems while I can play any released game on Steam without crashing. AoC didn't want to give me free embers for having problems with their super expensive alpha keys, which I strongly not recommend to people since I cannot really play... All I can do is access the character creation.

but Narc, where is the xp/hr breakdown of each grindspot? What if I find out I wasn't playing optimally?

[@marktackman2886]

I'm getting a 4d chess vibe from this channel, all is not what it appears, I fn love it!

[@jamesh885]

Buy in or afk is a weird thing to come in a "The complete beginner's guide to ashes of creation 2024"

[@Emmetoe]

It helps weed out trolls who won't invest money into anything.

[@PigeonCrash]

I am looking forward to May 2025, apparently. Being able to do a little bit of everything sounds valuable if you're not gonna be able to play in a group all the time. Thanks forthese videoes. Cool to see you finally have a chance to report on the actual game experience, lol.

[@Rtiffany0466]

Been loving the content lately Narc! Keep up the good work!

[@NMELMNT]

Trying to grasp how the testing bundles work. About buy bundle 2 ; you play for a limited time and then what? Upgrade later for another price to get access to phase 3?

[@xerax-6344]

if you get bundle 2 you have access to phase 2 & 3 of alpha 2, access to the beta, a month of game time on release & $15 of in game currency for the shop on release

[@ijzer33]

current content is still to sparse to recommend forking money for keys, but had a great time grouping up with friends and strangers for pve and pvp content. I imagine they only do weekends because full access will quickly let you see all on offer for current available content.

[@vassiliosxenidis9661]

current content? bro its in alpha 1 what do you expect to do?

[@Erumyr]

Content isnt added, But its already created; server stability is The first real test- and then the already created content/assets will be added slowly as stability increases

[@indivestor]

​@@vassiliosxenidis9661pretty sure alpha 2 not 1

[@Rastebb]

​@@vassiliosxenidis9661 a $120 game, which is what they are charging

Haven't played an MMO since 2011, but this looks kinda cool. May have to give it a go.

[@strantheman]

KZbin please stop the shadowban on Narc! Let him get over 60k!! Nycegaming and Ritchie are growing and that's great they're legit. But what have you got against Narc! He's OG and the best!

[@GodsRightSeat]

He's not shadow banned he just ruined his reputation with his older videos becoming extremely negative and people don't wanna come back yet

[@TallTaleGael]

Yep 100%​@@GodsRightSeat

[@jinglyjones1677]

Yup ​@@GodsRightSeat it really is just this. Seems to have got a grip recently though

He ruined his own reputation. Only his own worst enemy. People will resub if he keeps normal

[@NobleRh]

I'm not trying to be negative just to be a hater, but I'm against guides cuz I'm soooo sick of meta MMO setups. The Anti meta design is a huge selling point to this MMO for me and it's been sickening to see the damn videos like BEST MAGE GUIDE. 🤮

[@nickchivers9029]

Why are you that worried about how other people like to play?

[@luenaquazarios3920]

@@nickchivers9029 because if 90% of the playerbase uses spacific setups you will adjust yours too it so you can either doo more damage, live longer, heal more, yada yada yada right? like, if the vast majority of people are using heavy armor for whatever reason you will obviusly be looking into getting some penatration/armor reducing effects in your kit, even if it is not anything near what you were initially going for. but if only 20% of the comunity is wearing heavy armor you will feal less inclind and feal more happy runing what you want. as somone who makes my own builds in many games i have to pay atention to "meta" stuff because of this. after all if i spend a hundred hours of my life doing somthing i want it to work.

[@JINORU_]

Maybe try harder lol. This is a video for beginners not meta stuff

I am waiting to see if Narcs mental health has improved. If so we will be re subbing but the last few months have been trying....

[@jaredh923]

I thought races had different base stats? What are secondary classes? You dont get the spells from your secondary class? is that true?

[@Jk-mz7vq]

Once you purchase one bundle are you invited to all waves after?

[@Mozrael7]

Yes

[@NMELMNT]

That’s what I’m wondering. There’s 3 phases currently so wondering what’s the one to purchase and what are the play times ? Limited on what ?

[@peacejimi4630]

So if I buy one of these phases do I own the game? I’m so confused

[@Mozrael7]

@ you get access to everything Starting with your phase including 1 month of play time when the full game releases. After that, it’s a subscription just like WoW.

[@SoraiaLMotta]

Thank you.

i have a feeling, Hunter Rogue will be the most toxic combination for PVP and the most used for solo pvp, if you already have the potential of ganking and oneshoting ppl atm with hunter, let alone with rogue specs and skills

[@NMELMNT]

Was just thinking a ranger / rogue (scout) sniper might be nasty. Or rogue / ranger (predator) perhaps worse. 😬

[@AimNothyngg]

Perfect beginners guide! Great Vidya Narc!

[@Thelos90]

The map for grinding zones in this video. Thats a chef's kiss

[@outdoorsnevada4138]

servers are not stable. intrepid needs to do a better job in regards to server stability. ddos issue, errors so you can't log in. Down time for 2+ hours minimum to handle "bugs". Servers are down so much yet the issues we see as a community are still there. So what bugs are you actually fixing that continues to take you 2-4 hours? Same old circle... log in at 10:00 oh wait you can't. Get to about 1:00pm... servers about to be down 2-4 hours. Get closer to 8:00pm.... servers going to come down again. Might as well just have it open 5 hours a day and leave it open for those 5 hours. Then people at least know they can log in for a block of time without being booted and losing progress on their quests, caravans, etc. Server shutdowns are very messy for ashes...

[@jakenbake8855]

dude that was like 2 weeks ago. Last two weeks they have been defending ddos attacks and there are "bugs" in the alpha. It's an alpha. Do us all a favor and stop playing the alpha and spreading garbage demotivating others. Shoo go on get.

[@APM298]

Sounds like someone doesn't know what an alpha is

[@Jester-86]

Why are you not playing on EU servers?

[@kylecapperauld7442]

[@Chill_Out_Panda]

Narc is unhinged for releasing a "Complete Beginner's Guide" for a game doing 2-day alpha testing on first phase lmao. That would be like making a complete beginner's guide to world war 3 before January 6th. Can't even take you seriously man.

[@Chill_Out_Panda]

"First things first, downloading the game" I can't 😂😆

[@marktackman2886]

These guides are so shallow that in my heart of hearts I think your trolling. I honestly think Steven is trying to document any of your infractions in order to build a case to push you out of the community. Even if I'm wrong the story line I posited makes me want to continue to watch your videos. Your undercover right now, I understand.

[@darkflux]

you didn't explain the difference between the 3 waves. i'm sure it's obvious if you already know, but for a noob...

[@AlexJulian88]

The game is available for a certain period? or until release-lunch?

[@Misosykkuno]

if you buy a key you can pretty much play every Friday till sun and on December 20th when it changes to 5 times a week then in may 1st 2025 its up 24/7 till it comes out that's if comes out

I know you said that nodes are capped at level 3 but I'm curious if every node will be able to at least get to level 3 and it's at level 4 where nodes start controlling and capping other nodes.

[@asd123543666]

no thanks.

my current issue is there is a fuzziness around the head models of all PC characters that I don't see on other peoples videos of the game. So I dunno wtf that's about . Once I figure it out I'll play the game lol

secondly I realllllllyyyyyy fuckin hope they change the name of Tank to something else , like I get it... its a tank archetype but jesus lets make a name.

Would really like to see mouse character movement improved. Turning as it is is way too sluggish. One thing that would help is a mouse sensitivity setting you can increase to your preference.

[@blackhorde22]

Crafting in this game better get good, because it's worse then World of Warcraft Crafting.. seriously.

[@mojojojo11811]

WOW is a finished product. Did you forget the scope of this current phase of testing? It seems like you did because nowhere is crafting mentioned in it.

The "Node" verbiage is actually a business tactic to entice the EVE Online whales.

[@siilentvalkry]

Narc is so knowledgeable about ASHES OF CREATION in fact he gets very little credit for his hard work, i feel like due to the state of the game he comes in clutch explaining the systems which the game dev's would usually pay someone from there company to actually do what he does, which says a lot about what would stop people from playing in the future is not explaining this NEW MMO... It is critical for these systems to be broken down and explained properly..

[@bluntman3180]

The point of being a beginner and exploring a new world and what it has to offer is to not watch guides like these. You’re ruining the game at a quicker pace for a few extra clicks. You need to do better

[@mojojojo11811]

You need to realise your opinion doesn't matter 🤣🤣🤣

[@everlonggaming1966]

While i agree with the concept of the comment. The player has the choice not to engage with video guides like this. Blaming the person making the guide and not the people who would use it seems very uneducated.

Then don't craft, it's literally that simple. Alternatively get in a good guild with crafters who can help you out for a bit of gold (or silver)

[@jamesharoldsen1907]

I will say the way they're doing gear is a little.. weird. I assume it'll get better in the future. But for now it just whitewashes character building. There should be pros and cons to each armor and weapon type, and having them all fit every build makes them feel less unique or interesting rather than more 'creative'

[@mojojojo11811]

You're 100% correct. Please let me know when you are releasing your own game so we can all play it. 🤣

[@jamesharoldsen1907]

@mojojojo11811 Lol, don't get your panties in a bunch. It's just my opinion 😂

I know this game will never release and is still in Alpha. HOWEVER I've decided to give it a go anyway...

[@GrimJRS]

Asmon footage of the game would make me not even try it. His video will honestly turn away thousands of players it looks absolutely pathetic. PvP server of no players being able to atack and kill you from the start is moronic, also not enough guidance.

[@rx769]

yet grief is very punitive. asmon login in to the game was like an event for many players and players make fun of it. If asmon wanted to test the game, he should turn off is garbage stream and log at a common person.
