Ashes of Creation: 15 Minutes of World-Spanning Gameplay

Looks really sweet, hope they gonna put in wildlife that move around so the world feels more alive.

Nice, keep up the good work.

danwest58 · January 2018

Yea this game looks VERY nice. The Combat looks smooth. All that for Pre-Alpha\Alpha 0.

Mikeha · January 2018

That annoying bar that was in the middle of the screen is gone.

Kajidourden · January 2018

Lol @ the other post about action combat. Definitely less excited after watching this.

Wellspring · January 2018

Nice to see working combat and NPC AI this early into development. If this keeps up, we may see a finished MMORPG from a KS yet!

Amathe · January 2018

This is coming along very nicely. Love the artwork.

bcbully · January 2018

No block button?

Sadly combat looks pretty ordinary and honestly disappointing.

Maybe the game systems will be better...

Cazriel · January 2018

Very nice combat, especially for pre-Alpha. A lot of attention has been paid to movement and animations, showing they know what gamers want to see. Bios look excellent.

hallucigenocide · January 2018

eeeeh i don't know =/

Octagon7711 · January 2018

Nice.

Shaigh · January 2018

At this stage the combat model looks completely generic.

Generic compared to what? What you are seeing is exactly what people have been asking for. Go look at some of the attempted deviations to MMORPG combat and you'll see lots of uproar about it. Honestly, for THIS type of game, for the INTENDED audience, a WoW clone with some tweaks for more control in the game mechanics is all that's required.

This looks really good. I like that most of the UI is out of the way. I hope it stays that way. A clean UI is so nice.

My concern. It looks beautiful. I hope my 970 can hold up to the demand while being able to render the game with that detail.

I don't game much on the PC anymore, but this certainly looks one of those games worth an upgrade. As in worth of 4k 120hz capable upgrade.

There are enough innovative systems on the design board for this game. For combat I want something fun and familiar enough that I can just go blow mobs up if I don't want to do anything else. Mob farming is a cathartic activity for most mmo gamers. Getting that right, and comfortable, is very important.

Yeah I've realized combat is the least place I want an innovation when it comes down to MMOs.

Siphaed · January 2018

It looks beautiful for the aesthetics and the world very interesting.

However it looks like a modern day World of Warcraft gameplay style. I'm not saying art or world setting (because seems to be only Humans?). It's not colorful, there are no Orcs or Trolls or anything that resembles the generic Warhammer copy that Warcraft sports [everyone knows the truth behind that one by now].

Yet....here we are with this slapped state of standing and attack enemies with a bar of abilities trained by static NPCs (8:45-8:54) in a town. Go grind monsters until you're sick of it. Doesn't seem all too spectacular. The video just piles on the disappointment. With it being 2018 and of PvE games we have Guildwars 2, Elder Scrolls Online, Secrete World Legend, and yes even have WoW. Nothing really makes this game stand out among those in such a competitive, time-constrained market. And those aren't even including the plethora of Survival games that are now entering the fantasy realms instead of sticking to post apocalyptic eras (such as Citadel: Forged with Fire). Inside the PvP market, some of those previously mentioned have a decent enough PvP system. However there's the very up and coming focused games of Camelot Unchained and Crowfall.

If they are making another WoW clone with a few tweaks they should stop now.

Fortunately i I do not believe this is their intent. Thus I hope they don’t give us WoW clone combat.

Sorry, that was a very tongue-in-cheek comment to reflect the simplicity of the argument. This would be a WoW clone the same way that Vanguard or SWG was a WoW clone.

Wait!....is this thing tab target?? If so, my interest in this game is gone.

jonp200 · January 2018

Looking forward to this one.

Which MMORPG are you current playing that isn't tab target?

XAleX360 · January 2018

It looks good for a Pre-Alpha, though I'd like combat to be more active and dynamic as well as enemy AI for NPCs.

Asm0deus · January 2018

Looks good and all but if no pve servers then no go for me, I am not interested in being content for pvpers and the like.

Get over yourself. Stop playing the victim. Get better. Hell pretend it’s an awesome AI Hunter NPC huntimg you down. Figure out how to avoid him! Lol
