Wife and I bought into the Alpha 2 package. We are OG backers. So it only cost $50 to upgrade. Looking forward to seeing what's done so far.
Big deciding factor has been the design I'm looking for in a MMO. Old school roots with modern systems. It's not just the trinity but what I love is they are shooting for EQ roots. Tank, DPS, Healers and SUPPORT. Classes like The Bard have this in the wiki description.
"The idea here again, pointing back to a more old-school trinity design is that no party is complete without the non-healing support class, which is the Bard in Ashes of Creation."
"This is a more old school idea of the Holy Trinity and where non-healing support classes fall into that mix. Generally you see in my experience most non-healing support classes fall into between the hybrid of support to tank or support to DPS, so they tend to fill a hybrid role."
I'm looking forward to seeing if they can deliver this. Ashes last few team based videos show a mythoacal team based combat that is tactical in nature. Where taking a min to plan how to take on a group of mobs over just plowing forward with AoE skills by all players and self heals that just carry you through.
This type of game play is more then what I miss but leave me in a place I'm worn out by action combat MMOs. Like many here I'm done with this carbon copy of MOBA style MMOs.
