    Keep in mind that the "AMA" was limited to handpicked influencers chosen by Stephen.

    Alpha 2 on the horizon. Time will tell. tbh, and not judging game play at all yet. But the carvan system was very appealing. Something new, and honest to a large world.

    lol, have you grown tired spewing hate for this project? What is the context of your pointless comment slap? you're telling the audience here to keep in mind steven handpicked these influencers...this is correct, and what is your point? That they will ask irrelevant or easy questions or what? These are 4 content creators interested in supporting the development of this project and well respected in the ashes community.

    I played Alpha 1. The game was a mess but the instanced pvp war/siege was great. I will check out Alpha 2 when it starts. So much has changed since Alpha 1.

    After all the hype surrounding so many games and they ended up being a huge disappointment(New World, Starfield, Diablo 4 etc), I am keeping my expectations in check with AOC.

    What you mean by "the game was a mess"?

    Could you elaborate?

    Way too early for a victory lap.

    I will say "true stealth" is very difficult to balance. WoW ended up balancing it to the point the classes that had it couldn't really do the role they were designed to do namely take down high priority back row targets like healers and ranged DPS. At launch a rogue was to be feared in any PVP situation, but after a few expansions they just became an annoyance who could be CC'D, escaped, or their dps healed through.

    DAoC had a similar experience where they nerfed the opening attack so that if you duoed up with another stealth class the second opener would do a fraction of its normal damage.

    Won't surprise me if stealth classes in this game go through the same life cycle. Feared at launch but "balanced" into irrelevance after a few patches.

    It really isn't, as long as the intangible aspects are taken into account.

    What I mean is too many times balance is based upon two players going toe to toe in an open arena, which is a bad way to balance.  The better balance is based on actual game play and how the stealth is used.

    I played a warg for a couple of years in LOTRO so I've done quite a bit of stealthing.  If I tried to go toe to toe with about any opposition class I'd lose very handily.  However, you can bet I'd be the SOB cleaning up the terribly wounded trying to slink away from the battle.  

    The ability to pick and choose a fight is brutal if used well.
    As long as you're not afraid to be a total bastard, it's a great skill.

    Sure.  If you don't appreciate the fact that the people asking the questions are handpicked by the person they are asking, as well as likely having monetary benefit through the referral system, well, thats on you.

    Yeah, I'm sure these hand-picked muppets will definitely ask the hard ball, tough questions like "how awesome is Ashes of Creation?" and "is it difficult being so handsome and talented Mr Steven Shariff?"

    It's a real A2 so 2 years maybe longer won't be outside the norm. Can't wait to play A2. Wife and I upgraded our PCs.

    And neither is AoC. Kidding! 

    Meh don't mistake uninterested lethargy of any and all kickstarted MMO projects as hate. Given the piss poor track record of these types of crowdfunded games, many people have lost all faith a working MMO can be created this way.

    Yes.  He doubled his yearly post count yesterday so hopefully we can keep a productive conversation up over the next 2 years! The more the merrier.  Different perspectives make for better discussions.

    Good, lets keep a productive conversation, just give the project a fair chance, believe me the project has a number of issues but let Intrepid cook, they are making progress.

    Really guy.  No one cares about this too late to the party game.  It was going to be great, but they just can't produce it.
