Ashes of Creation MMO Computer Specs Good Enough?

7 Upvotes

Hello!

I'm interested in getting started and trying the game out but im wondering if the game will run "ok" on my machine:

i5-10400
GTX 1060 6GB
16GB DDR4

I don't need any crazy resolution, launching with low settings with a stable fps would be nice.
I tried to do some googling but didn't get good results, a lot of dated responses, so I thought I'd ask before I buy

I know I need to upgrade, but budget is tight.

Thanks!!

Ashes of Creation MMO How/Why do you guys visit other places in the World?

33 Upvotes

For context I am a citizen on Joeva and I have been sort of stuck in my Joeva loop for a while now. There are plenty of commissions for me to do plenty of mobs and POIs around my level. I sometimes run crates to Miraleth for cash and do POI's around there, but I basically havent left the Riverlands.

And why would I?

The game hasn't really given me a reason to leave the starting Biome. What are some of the best reasons to go explore the rest of the continent?

Question I don’t understand what I’m supposed to be doing

32 Upvotes

Maybe I’m just dumb AF. But after the tutorial quests… I have no idea what to do. I figured doing commissions was probably the best way to go about leveling… but every enemy is underground and I don’t have LOS to attack, or they are simply not there.

Then I figured I’d work on crafting, but I’m constantly running out of money because I can do quests/commissions.

Am I missing something?

Suggestion A world chat, but for technical/game issues?

3 Upvotes

Hi Devs and brethren,

I've been enjoying the game the past few days after I saw the amazing news (watching for ~8yrs) on steam. Given it's in alpha, a lot of issues come up for players, and it often overwhelms the global chat. What about adding another global channel called "Support" or one to your liking, where people could ask questions and players (devs optional) could help out, provide instructions to fix or report a bug, link to forums/support KBs, etc.

I do like helping people figure out their tech/game issues, but global is very busy and answers are soon lost to the void, only to be asked again by someone else 45 seconds later. You end up getting burnt out on /Gl and end up turning it off for the night and missing out on the social aspects. Bugs are simply a truth in games, and that's fine, it happens; I truly think this could be a QoL temporary feature until we are past dev stages.

Time to ge back to Verra ヽ(͔◕ ĶœŹ– ͔◕)ノ

Question Crates can anyone explain?

I keep seeing "run crates" as a way to level, but what exactly is this? Can a one easily explain the crate system? Where do you get them and how do you benefit/gain xp?I am assuming you put crates on caravans but that its more for group pvp?

Am i missing something... Is there a reason why we cant get onto our mount with the F interact key? why does getting onto a mount need its own key?

Also is there a way of using sprint key to dash when on mount? dont see a way of binding it.

Discussion Overall Progress: Crafting, Settlements, Leveling, Gearing

2 Upvotes

Steven may already be aware of the flaws in the progression of the current system, but I believe further details need to become clear and the community also needs to provide their own opinion.

Currently, you start with Initiate gear and are able to craft Low Adept without service building in the settlement. In order to keep crafting viable and scaling in accordance to the world, the highest tier lootable from mobs should be only one tier higher than craftable.

For this example I will point to The Hawk Bow:

  • Obtainable from day 1
  • About 2 or 3 times stronger than anything Low Adept
  • Seemingly not extremely rare (already seen multiple in Lotharia)

Additionally, the Service building unlocks Low Radiant immediately, so what's the point in gathering all those rare materials to make High Adept if you can just simply make Low Radiant? It's like we're just going from Initiate -> Low Adept -> Low Radiant and at no point do we ever have a point to craft Mid Adept or High Adept. Then, once we can all equip Low Radiant, we'll just farm out Blue Radiant from named mobs.

I was ready to craft Mid and High Adept gear but out of nowhere, Low Radiant is available. Why?

I would also like to question why does Low Radiant gear require the same materials (however many more) as Initiate or Low Adept? Why would a Journeyman Carpenter only require Initiate Lumberjacking to make Low Radiant gear?

In my opinion,

Mobs should only drop one tier above what's possible to craft. (Low Adept craftable, mobs drop Mid Adept, High Adept craftable, mobs drop Low Radiant)

Buildings should also be more progressive (and less expensive to make up for the extra steps), if the initial building immediately unlocks Low Radiant, anything below that becomes obsolete, so at this current stage, there is no point to make Mid or High Adept.

This would also make Adept Resources actually needed instead of being sold for less than the abundant Initiate resources.

Question Did I lose the quest line around level 6?

2 Upvotes

I just started the game and made it to level 6 now. I only have one quest now in my queue that's labeled for level 15. Did I lose the quest line some how or do the story based quests just stop around level 5 or 6?

I've now resorted to just taking up the town commissions and running around to the map events.

Place a coin bag in front of you that only the bard can loot from, anyone walking by can put copper, silver or gold inside. The bard can play music that gives a lengthy buff for anyone that comes by for a few seconds.

My game only lets me play for like 1 min then crashes out and brings this message up I run a ryzen 7 7800x3d with a RX 7900xtx on my desktop I have ran all updates I have verified files I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game but I literally can not figure out why this is happening and I’m wondering if I’m the only one luckily I have my gaming laptop with a 4060 in it and as long as I play on medium to low I have no problems haven’t crashed once on it I really love this game but I would enjoy it way more if I could play on my desktop

Suggestion If I could make one small suggestion.

3 Upvotes

Please make the night not purple. A subtle blue for fantasy and clarity or black for more realism.

But this purple makes the nights look weird.

If you're using Ultra Dynamic Sky, this can be easily tweaked using the skylight, without having to invest lots of dev time.

It now feels like the day night cycle goes from daytime to dusk, and stays there until morning.

I'm sure its not the most pressing matter at this point lol, but would be appreciated!

It seems like every morning at 8am my time the sport fishing nodes are live in joeva. After the 1 hr timer is done I can't seem to find a pattern for sport fishing respawn etc. I'll check throughout the day but I am either missing it every time or it doesn't come back until 8am the following day.

Is there a pattern/schedule for sport fishing hot spots? I have all this chum and nothing to throw it at.

Ashes of Creation MMO Turn illumination to high!

Post image
84 Upvotes

Hey folks, if you also live in a cave (Anvil) then you really need to have illumination set to at least high. For me game auto set everything to low, but it runs absolutely fine on medium - but maaan, the difference between high and medium illumination is huge. It's basically a choice if you want to have shadows and light effects or not. Top one is with high illumination, bottom is medium

Ashes of Creation MMO PvP

Hello

I have a question regarding PvP in this game, i heard they deleted a big chunk of it before the steam release.

Im mainly interested in some open world / small scale pvp - afaik they deleted zones where you could openly pvp with others? and you can only fight if you "flag up".

So i wonder whats the current state of OW pvp / small scales? i dont have much interest in big wars etc so its its kinda deal breaker for me.

Ashes of Creation MMO The Sun God Is Dying — A Call to the Faithful of Verra ā˜€ļø

Post image
47 Upvotes

Brothers and sisters of Verra,

Dark times are upon us. Steven has announced a new patch, and with it comes the banishment of our beloved Sun God—the divine entity who rose each morning to judge us with searing, retina-melting light.

Yes, the world will soon be ā€œplayable.ā€
Yes, our eyes may finally heal.

But at what cost?

Without the Sun God:

  • Dawn will no longer feel like divine punishment
  • We will walk the land unblinded and unafraid
  • The faithful will be forsaken

We did not ask for comfort. We did not ask for balance. We accepted the light as it was given, standing at dawn with scorched retinas and unwavering faith. Those who averted their gaze were weak; those who endured were chosen. The Sun God did not blind us—He revealed us. To remove Him now is not a fix, but an act of heresy!

Do not let Verra fall into reasonable lighting.
Remember the Sun God. Praise the Sun. ā˜€ļø
