These guys are definitely making some good progress and I'm happy to see where they are at so far. I only backed their KS at the most basic pledge for the game and am definitely looking forward to more from them!

Snap, hedged my bet they would finish for the cheapest pledge level
The environments look pretty but that combat is the worst of both worlds with tab target/freeform use abilities.
Also, this footage is basically worthless because it shows zero proof of concept for any of the features they keep talking about. Even if they do provide good combat if they fail to deliver on all their promises of working systems then it doesn't matter.
Their whole schtick for crowdfunding has been their "revolution" of mmos....so far I see nothing.
You have to build the base MMO gameplay before you can add in the more advance features.
Sure, but when your entire basis for making a game isn't even present.....why bother?
Hell, even crowfall had some basic systems unique to the game in their alpha. There is literally nothing in this alpha gameplay that is unique to ashes.
There is. The node system levels up based on global xp accumulated.
Which is not present in this gameplay video. There's absolutely no proof of concept there. They say during the stream that it will happen but don't show it soooooo
actually, they did spawn it. that's why they crashed.
Still haven't proven that any of it matters. Again, Anet said the same thing....talk is cheap.
Maybe its just me (its not) but this game looks like just like everything else we have already been through but with better graphics?
I thought AoC was intended to be some sandbox/theme park hybrid? After watching this shit I am terribly let down.
They can say its early alpha but if this is the core game play then count me out.
When are developers going to break the mold set by games like WoW and Guild wars? Its stale its been done and its boring....make something different...something that will get gamers interested....AoC simply is not it.
Seems to me that no ones ever experienced pre-alpha or alpha zero game play. This is what pretty much all mmo's look like in alpha zero state. That's why I don't put much stock into it.
Anyone trying to bash the game off of these stream is being totally biased. Same goes for people who are praising it. It does not have any features it's claimed to have or any features that set it apart from another generic mmo.
Really all pre alpha does is to test stability of everything.
