I mean the combat doesn’t look bad – but then I’m a fan of WoW’s combat, and I don’t find an issue with Final Fantasy XIV’s combat at endgame. I can’t say with certainty what the other staff are playing, but from what I’ve gathered concerning the game, and from what is visible in the gameplay trailer, the combat is definitely tab-target and I guarantee you a lot of people are going to be highly triggered by that. There are currently 8 classes available: The Tank, Cleric, Fighter, Rogue, Ranger, Bard, Summoner and Mage. Steven, who’s perspective we’re shown in the video was playing the Mage class.
I’m not sure if you guys get a similar feel – maybe it’s just me. The environment, even the armor reminded me a lot of an Elder Scrolls game. So graphically, the game definitely has a lot going for it. Monster movement seemed to function pretty well and the special effects for abilities and spells looked fantastic. As do the flying animations – or, rather the mount animations in general. But that’s the environment – the character movements have always been an issue to me.īack in Apocalypse, the character animations were pretty bad, and while they’ve obviously improved since the early-Apocalypse look, I can say with certainty that both running and combat animations need quite a bit of work. However the environments that I saw during the video were better than pretty much any other indie developed MMO. It’s a far cry from competing with an Eastern MMO for sure, but the goal with Western MMOs has never been nor do I believe will ever be to be graphically competitive with an Eastern MMO. Graphically, the game is beginning to look pretty good. Everything – the entire game, is player-driven.Īnd that’s why the game garnered as much attention as it did and why players have been anticipating the game with bated breath.Īlright, let’s start off with the obvious, first: Graphics. Towns, cities, entire civilizations are run and ruled by players, the economy is directly influenced by us. The world lives and grows around you, there is consequence to every action. The devs claimed that the game would bring the “Massive back to Massively Multiplayer,” providing players with an incredibly detailed, large open world with endless freedom to do what you want, to play how you want, without the constraints present in MMOs in this day and age. That is probably the most money I’ve seen raised for an MMO outside of Star Citizen. The game initially rolled out onto Kickstarter in 2017, and over the course of the campaign, went on to raise almost $3.3 million dollars. One of the highest anticipated Western MMOs on the horizon, actually. So for those of you unaware of what the game is, Ashes of Creation is an indie-developed upcoming subscription based medieval MMORPG. It’s come a long way from the Apocalypse footage that I last saw of the game.

This isn’t the taken from the full Alpha, this isn’t taken from the functional version of the game that we’ll receive.Īnd you know what? Honestly.
To actually take some time to research it as opposed to taking 5 minutes and throwing my opinions based off of that.īefore we go any further though, I would like to preface this by stating that the footage you’re seeing – the footage that has been released from Intrepid Studios is Pre-Alpha footage. Now, in August 2018 I did a video where I discussed my thoughts on the game, especially after they had announced a partnership with My.com at the time to publish the game in Europe.Ī lot has changed since then and with the reveal of a brand new almost 2 hour long gameplay trailer, I thought it was the ideal time to delve a lot deeper into this. Second is due to the fact that they just really hadn’t done much nor did they have much to show for the MMO. Or to a lot of you since you guys backed the game for the MMO aspect. I’m not a fan of Battle Royale games and as such, this provided nothing of interest to me. The first is the fact that they showed an unusual obsession with their Apocalypse Battle Royale game mode. Since then I’ve pretty much left the game alone – this is due to two reasons.
