Welcome to a preview of Ashes of Creation
An upcomming game ( MMORPG ) for 2018
This is my first big post and Game review so please be gentle with me :)
I have been playing the big MMORPGS since the late 90's and the kid in me had a blast in most of them.
The Dev team seems to be veterans and younger game developpers.
Some games they worked on:
Starwars Galaxy, Everquest 1 and 2, Vanquard, Bioshack, Call of duty and the list goes on.
The game is made with Unreal Engine 4.
So it looks pretty impressive and could be very promising :) (I hope)
Below is their gametrailer.
The game
This game has a dynamic open world which reacts to what players do.
Cities can be built but also destroyed depending on the history the players create.
Quests will unfold and secrets will be unlocked over time.
Since cities can be destroyed players should bond together to defend their homes.
Players can build anywhere in the world and grow crops on the land.
On your land you can farm, keep animals or your own smithy.
That will involve more risk as to living in a village.
Together the villagers can start building a city.
Questing has many options.
Area quests, public quest and quest chains that dynamicly change.
So every server might have different quests and may look diferent.
Server quests allow enemies to compete over the fate of the world.
Player Vs Enviroment takes place in a stunning graphics world full of fantasy creatures.
Some peacefull, others will fight you.
There are dungeons, demons andddd ........
These creatures are very unpredictable which makes it more exciting.
You can participate in massive sieges or conquer castles.
This is not easy and there will be great rewards for it.
Player Vs Player can be massive battles on the field or guild Vs guild fights.
You can choose if you want to participate in these battles.
PvP has a flagging system and has static zones.
For example fighting over a city, castle, caravan or hunting ground.
The game has a caravan system which transfers goods.
You will have to defend your caravan on your way to your destination.
Caravans can be destroyed and looted.
If you want to trade you will have to go out and gather or make your own goods for trade.
There will be regional economies that can vary from region to region.
You can set up a shop in other regions and sell goods there that they dont have in their region.( Maybe some Bitcoins that you mined or Steem, just kidding)
Crafting and Gathering is very important in this game and its very very indepth.
What you want to do is up to you though.
Have a farm and grow stuff or go into the wild and gather there what you need.
You will be able to craft unique items that reflect your strengths and weaknesses.
Professions known sofar: Herbalist, Miner, Lumberjack, Farmer, Fishing, Cooking, Breeding/Taming, Armorsmith, Weaponsmith, Blacksmith,Alchemist.....
Not much is known yet about the 8 races and classes that will be availlable.
There will 8 classes and at some point a sub class that interacts with your main class choice.
They also say there will be pets and mounts and that is allways cool :)
Nothing better than to face your death on the best looking mount in game and your loyal pet beside you.
Below as a dessert is their kickstarter video:
I hope you enjoyed this review, I did :)
It looks to me to be a game well worth giving a try when it comes out.
It's not an indept review otherwise the post would become to long.
Youtube has tons more info if your interested.
Have a nice day and happy gaming !
Looks great and everything but new MMOs are made every day so we will see how much this game will be popular. :)
Thanks for looking at my post @eirik and your right about many games comming :)
I have my fingers crossed for this one though, not too much since I don't want to be dissapointed.
