Ashes Of Creation is, as of making this video just a few months away from releasing in its Alpha 2 state, in fact this may be the final progress update video I release before we’re able to play the game.
This means that by playing or watching content about Alpha 2 you should have a pretty decent idea of if Ashes of Creation is an MMO for you or not.
With that said in this video I’m here to do the usual livestream recap summarizing the past 3 months of Livestreams to keep the casual follows of the game up to date with the latest developments.
What do you think of the latest Ashes Of Creation development livestream showing off their server meshing tech? are you excited to play Alpha 2 in 2024? let me know in the comments below!

-Ashes Of Creation MMO Description-
Ashes Of Creation is a colossal MMORPG attempting to provide fans of PVP, PVE and Roleplay an everchanging world and the ultimate MMO experience, the game will have the following:
9 different playable races both with male and female options.
1200 square kilometer world size at launch, 85 Nodes in the world, EVERY Resource you see is gatherable just like in New World.
Fully open world game where you can go from one size of the map to the other no loading screens.
Dungeons, Raids, World Bosses, Open World PVP with a criminal system, Caravan PVP, castle sieges, node sieges, arenas, duels, guild wars, crafting and artisan system, monster coin events, political system, citizenship, player run shops, taverns with parlor games, top tier character customization, transmog cosmetic collection, 64 different class combinations, 3 different forms of player housing both open world and instanced, achievements, leaderboards, gathering, questing, hybrid combat system, player driven economy with localized storage, pets, massive guild system with guild halls, both land and water mounts and 18 different biomes in the world.
Ashes started development back in 2016 in Unreal Engine 4 however at the end of 2021 upgraded its engine to Unreal 5 to make use of the latest advancements in gaming tech such as nanite, lumen and a more efficient development pipeline, In terms of funding the game was successfully kickstarted in 2017 however the vast majority of the games funding comes from creative director Steven Sharif, a successful entrepreneur who like most of us has been a lifelong MMO fan that was unhappy with the current state of the MMORPG genre, Ashes Of Creation is fully funded to completion and despite offering paid access to Alpha and Beta tests is not reliant on these funds to finish development.
This game will have zero pay to win, a cosmetic only cash shop with no convenience items and a $15 per month subscription fee business model with no box cost.
A sand park MMO is basically a hybrid of theme park and sandbox, there’s a lot of player driven content however there’s also developer curated scripted encounters such as raids and dungeons…This is the category of MMO that Ashes Of Creation falls into and personally It’s my favorite type of MMORPG.

Just a heads up, Ashes of Creation will not be feature complete by the launch of Alpha 2. It will be feature complete towards the mid-end of it due to the alpha 2 running parallel with beta 1 and 2 that will come closer to release. Just wanted to put this out there so people don't expect the game to be feature complete the moment the alpha launches and then ends up being disappointed.

This is the last alpha and it's going to be persistent all the way up until launch and then it will become the test server post launch, it has been stated that Beta 1 & 2 will be considerably closer together when compared to alpha 1 & 2 , very short and close to launch, as the game will be essentially finished at that point, just in it's final polish stage. I can understand why they want to be vigilant with the testing, they want the perfect launch, which as we all know is very important, mess up the launch and it can be devestating.

I enjoy taking a back seat and getting to watch others make big break throughs!

@hoofhearted4 28 дней назад

The thing people need to remember (and this is true for most games), is end game is called end game for a reason. it comes at the end of the game. People forget about the game itself. The leveling and exploring and everything that comes with it. Because so many people have played MMOs, we know the grind and we know the Raids, and everyone just wants to get to the Raids as quickly as possible ignoring the game. This is exacerbated by YT and Twitch streamers who game as a job. They need to get to the end as fast as possible for content, and all of that skews peoples perception of games. Dont look at a game by seeing if its "everything" you want, but does it have "something" you want. I look at this and just want some fun moment to moment gameplay, fun progression and fun skills. idc if this is the WoW killer, or brings back that feeling of 2008 MMOs or what the end game is. but i digress.

Hopefully Star Citizen and AOC can solve dynamic gridding. It will most likely change the gaming landscape in terms of massive multiplayer.

@r.daneel.90 26 дней назад

AOC want to use "dynamic gridding", mean, X/Y location can be split in different servers to allocate more players. SC's "dynamic server meshing" on the other hand is different, due to the scales involved. They aim to support large player counts by putting servers on "moving locations", like big space ships. Its a problem a lot more difficult to solve.

There’s no way to see it all, and for whatever reason, a lot of people like upvoting the kind of BS react video fodder I mentioned before in his Reddit where he finds stuff to react to every day, so that’s the stuff he ends up picking to make content with. I think he either saw the original video (and the runtime) and decided to react to a 20 minute narc video instead, or he just straight up didn’t have the time or energy to care about looking up the real video after seeing the narc one pop up. Brain dead chatters and Redditors would rather see him react to why men are lonely for the 50th time, or hear him say the same shit everyone else does in response to another semi-famous person no one should really care about “maybe” being a pedo. It’s either that, or playing shitty P2W games like 85% of the time.

Exciting times when MMORPGs are working towards Server population solutions! I'm a big fan of Guild Wars 2 WvW but back then the servers would slow down during massive 3 way fights. I am curious how well AoC server meshing works when pushed to Alpha 2 servers, hopefully it will be soon and not be delayed. Last year when Star Citizen announced and demo'ed their working "Server Meshing", it also worked but once it was being tested with players they had to make numerous of updates to unforeseen gameplay issues. It's to be expected though considering Server Meshing is in its infant state.

Steven Sharif wanted to build a game his way and had no interest in letting the kids tears change anything. That's why I respect him. I'm a 58 year old gamer and will play til I'm dead. I can wait a couple of years more for Steven's vision and his alone. People try to show how cynical they are by doubting it which is a really weird flex. You don't have to like it.

It looks like you're oblivious to whats been going on in the gaming industry for the past couple of years. People are cynical because the industry has made them that way, with half a decade worth of scams from singleplayer games to mmos. To this date there still hasn't been another major succesful release that people have been happy about, and until that happens you're gone see alot more of that "cynicism" as you put it. which isn't cynical, to correct you, it's frustration.

It feels like you've played one or two MMOs and decided that their version of "fireball" (an absolutely run-of-the-mill, generic spell name) was the only version that existed. It's just a name for a spell, mate. What matters is just how it feels when we play, not what name it has. It could be named "Fire Spell #33" and it still wouldn't matter.

It may allert the servers of several layers, and once all the layers are correct (100 players or more in the same square), then the sarvice takes the situation on his hands, pulls a cascade of countermeasures to redirect the overwhelming demand on process and hardware that can deal with that problem, untill all the layers starting by the allert status start going off being this player spreading or being defeated and getting out from the frame, then that service would start giving back to the original disposal to handle the situation as it was describe in the video. To design a single hardware specially focused on handling such high demand might be possible if they manage to find how to transform and move the high demanding of processing.
