 it's time ashes of creation you have the k-lar which are the humans you've got veyloon which are like saracen imperian which are elves and then the doonier you know who this looks like look at this region of his face look at the cheekbones nose eyes forehead area and tell me it doesn't look like quinn am i crazy what about this one never mind the three classes that there are there's the cleric in such a dangerous world a cleric is never wanting for friends they can protect their allies in a number of ways and when necessary snuff the life out of others masters over the very essence of life they can sense the broken and corrupted mage in a world where the impossible happens every day the mage is an ally no one can do without masters of the arcane they bring terrible elements to bear in devastating spells if realla needs changing in some fashion ask a mage to help okay mages are going to be overpowered now into a tank's job is to control a fight to help party mitigate incoming damage and to dictate who is getting hit they can take uncun cun uncun kaka they can take uncun shin cun cun cun yeah amount of punishment and woe to those who ignore their commands again guys so here's the thing this is an alpha right it's a it's a technical alpha see they don't have a whole lot of character customization options you can't even zoom in yet so there's going to be a lot of stuff that is just not in the game yet and i like i understand that it is just three of the eight classes for now to get a typical palette and you will need to wait to choose a subclass to merge two classes together is that tank cleric or cleric tank in the actual game you'll pick a primary archetype and then level 25 pick a secondary and that will determine your actual specialization so fighters oh base class hmm i feel like this is going to be really hard to balance it's not like wow it's meant it's not meant to be an esport yeah i know i get that right but class like proper balance is still important in the game right this is what i'm going to go with i'm going to be a tank male a calar so that's the one i'm going to go with uh let's see so okay so let's talk about oh what the frick what i just do as far as the cleanliness of the ui in general goes ui feels really clean again this is a technical alpha right the whole purpose of this is one to basically see if the damn game will run right that's what's part of it but two is to get the very very early stages and and kind of like what was said in the notes is like most companies don't even do this that's one thing that a lot of people like about ashes is i feel like ashes has formed a lot of goodwill like it's kind of like the idea of it being like the people's mmo i like the map i think the map looks clean i think there should be an option to make it smaller and there probably is oh i really like that the quest log i like this i think it's time to get going let's go check out our first quest talk to sergeant landry okay sergeant landry where you at dog hello thank goodness another arrival i need to put you to work immediately what is your specialty with my sword shield and unflinching resolve i control the battlefield i'm a tank 10xp perfect this place isn't like sanctus it's dangerous the things out there are not happy about our arrival there are armor and weapons animated through some kind of magic they are strong and there's just so many of them i've got this don't worry point me in the right direction i'll make sure they regret their existence head down this whole road take a left you can't miss them i'll fight for as long as i can be well oh mg dude why are you reading a quest because i have fun and you don't that's why you can sprint how do you sprint v oh wait what was that was that was that control that i how do i do that control alt f4 beats the game wait really uh okay wait am i going the right way oh animated armor shift to run oh oh oh oh hey animated armor smack yo dumbass okay hold on yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo i'm taunting i'm taunting beat his ass evaded any evaders look i'm doing cleave cleave i'm cleaving i'm cleaving i'm cleaving i'm cleaving oh i can also left click to attack oh i press z and i go into targeting mode and then i can press left click to oh oh okay so how do i loot eat a loot give me the loot so once i press z i can't queue i have to okay okay okay you've killed three things have you not level uh this isn't retail wow what is this supposed to come out uh i've never played an mmorpg but i'd like to try this game there's no release date for this yet this is the this is the very very early stage of the alpha i mean it's alpha one so it's it's gonna be a long long time so um somebody said i have a skill point where is oh total skill points invested so i could put a skill point in on slot charge and deal damage to an opponent or last rate pierce your enemy dealing damage and causing them to bleed for an initial man of time i kind of want onslaught because it sounds cool i really like auto attacks i think it's weird not having an auto attack i just like having an auto attack that goes on while uh while i'm hitting other abilities you know because to me i i think it's a little bit redundant to just like like it's almost like cumbersome right to have to hold q for example because i it could just be an auto attack and maybe it's a little bit more engaging this way at level one because i do think that's like a that is historically a problem with mmo's is that they are not engaging at level one because you don't have any button suppress and you're like i just have to sit here and hit this thing with my hands in my lap because like you should what what should happen is you come in and you're like oh my gosh look at this huge like expansive new world that i'm in right like this is amazing and you go and you like you you you find a wolf and then you go and you click it and you're sitting there and you're auto attacking yes it is an alpha right so there's there's a whole lot of question marks you know what to what to actually expect and i think that it's really good that they did an alpha this early from the perspective of like yo what do you guys think so far give us some like legitimate feedback add guns let me have some good feedback right there wait is requesting a trade fox of the pyre mount wait so you can just give this to me so is it not like soulbound okay trade successful okay see i know this is realistic uh it looks so good like turning like this and like seeing your mount like it's good but i don't like it for gameplay do you're gonna make me throw little little little okay thanks dj okay so let's go to the next quest i've taken out as many of those horrible creatures as i can anything else i can do to help thanks for the help go talk to lieutenant griory if you want to make yourself useful all right i'll do that speak to lieutenant griory there he is okay so i just click it and it shows me where he is hey where you got dog there he is greetings you're one of the new arrivals right you're already helping us out thanks i think we're good on the front lines for now we've built up a buffer of new arrivals and we can cycle you out for now uh are you sure i don't mind continuing the fight send me on to the front lines i'm looking for more combat showing some initiative there i like it we've gotten reports that some of the native denizens are harassing folks trying to get to our north camp hunt chargers take them out right away sir head northwest and eliminate five chargers craft an axe and a copper pickaxe okay uh where do you guys want to go do you guys want to go to reya or do you guys want to kill five chargers do the supply quest i want to find reya i want to explore supply question leads the question direction that you're going in i don't care i don't know that metagaming for weird scholar reya oh god i have to do her voice hi sorry no time to talk uh headmaster vera sent me what's the matter could you give me a hand with these pesky scale runners uh i can lend a hand is this game like wow where you should always just be running around like just killing things in between your quest oh look at these chargers i need for another quest okay so i need eight more how do you like it so far uh it's fine so far it's hard to have a real opinion on it it's in the earliest stages of alpha right i bet even in this current alpha i'm probably not going to be able to have like a legitimate honest review of the combat system but in the graphics i think the graphics are fine as far as art style goes i feel like graphics are more about art style than about like does it does it have a lot of pixels they kind of dislike that i'm using wow so much as a comparison but one of you look at a lot of mmo's back like 20 years ago a lot of those mmo's looked very very similar they had a very very similar style if you load up dark age of camelot now you're like you're god put it next to vanilla wow and you're like jesus mary and joseph this this this looks god awful so this is kind of what i'm talking about here so tell me what game is this all the scrolls online everquest dayock runescape okay so this is dark age of camelot what game is this who can tell me what game this is okay it's not club penguin lord of the rings online runescape runescape 2 city of heroes arc lord wizards shadowbane it's shadowbane what game is this this is everquest yeah this is everquest what is this one ashron's call night's online this is guild wars alpha now i want you to go and then compare that to something like this right wow had it it's cartoony and look these are all like more like realistic looking right but despite the fact that like wow is more cartoony it had this definitive art style that sticks in people's minds you know what other game has a definitive art style i in my opinion is this one i i think final fantasy 14 is is kind of a a mix between cartoony and realistic you see what i'm saying like it looks like final fantasy i'm going to be honest i thought these graphics are better than i thought they'd be for uh pre-alpha hello again i'm glad to see you return successfully we can always use your help around here are you interested in some new directives sure thing what do you need while we are mainly focused on the area surrounding the port we have gotten reports of large smoke plumes sighted off to the northeast we could use someone to check it out and see if it's any cause for alarm i'll head out right away uh do you think you should try to transition their graphics to a more distinct art style like he would have got going that's actually a really good question um i don't think i've played enough of the game to have an opinion like to have like a proper opinion on that you know maybe it does like like come to feel a little bit more distinct eventually search the area for lumber search the area for ore you can't harvest any tree okay maybe i should go up there looting needs work it doesn't feel rewarding it should probably give like a little bit of like a chaching chaching sound whenever you loot stuff and there needs to be an animation uh which i'm sure there's going to be it's just not in the game yet i actually i don't like the sprint lines either i think they're a little bit uh it's a little much oh i'm chopping i'm chopping i'm chopping i'm chopping successfully harvested redwood lumber cool so i only need 33 more of these according to my quest log to craft the sword i need 33 more okay this quest is is stupid 33 redwood lumber for this like really so i'm not gonna do this quest wait here's some big-ass croutons look at this here's some big-ass croutons what the hell that's not even croutons that's just bread tree oh my gosh dude these spiders are terrifying they're too scary i think the spiders are too scary how do i see if somebody has a question on is it a green name is a quest i think there needs to be a more uh like something that you can see it a little bit better hello my shop isn't open for business yet however if there's something you see that you'd like i'm sure we can work out a deal i'm gonna leave uh yes what event uh don't just lurk speak uh i'm gonna leave yeah interstellar music it is kind of like interstellar isn't it lovely the story i haven't done much questing uh i kind of slowed down on the questing and started doing some more exploring ready for first town experience okay so this is the town right it's a little bit laggy as it loads in but
