Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Hunting Rarity - basically unable to use anything relating to carcasses (bones, animal fat, hide) because the rarity does not work for the hunting placeholder system

2. Teleport to Carphin while sitting in Caravan

3. Indefinetely active Caravan events (so you get killed 6-10hours after attacking the caravan because the owner of the caravan crashed/alt f4'd and didnt pick up his request beacon)

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Monster AI enabling mob trains.
2. Caravans vanishing.
3. World bosses spawn when servers restart, when meshes crash and after every maintenance.
4. Some Dunar weapons equip the wrong weapon slot.
5. Mobs get bugged into corners and never respawn or reset.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. The game gets very laggy during large scale pvp, even the bosses get all wacky.
2. Actual PVP war declaration scrolls are too expensive for how guilds are strucutred(50 members).
3. Have more GMs playing around with systems and avaliable to teleport to exploits, bugged players and so on.
4. Game closes randomly(yes I died fighting monsters).
5. FPS drops after the game being open for a while.

Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Caravans & Server Workers
2. Caravan events and their zois - Can't actually leave them and zois get exploited
3. Maps
4. Caravans being turned in & disappearing/ Disappearing cargo
5. Inventory bugs and the need to use mounts/relogging to fix?

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Cravan ZOIs should have a radius and should not be able to engage in pvp for that event x amount away from the caravan; i.e. another node/zone away
2. You should have to remain flagged to loot cargo and heal people - many people exploited this by being out of combat with the crowbar and healers were able to rez without joining the event - therefore not being able to be targeted during the caravan fights
3. Rarity in general - Having a high rarity item should mean that you get more high rarity drops; my understanding is that it is currently set? I prefer the tools/ luck determine the rarity so people aren't spawn camping a leg. material
4. The healing debuff is still currently broken and causes a lot of deaths but im glad it doesn't give xp debt
5. It feels like everything requires weeping willows and it feels like there was already a shortage in P1; with the congested servers, it has become a major blocker in all areas - crafting, buy orders, etc. This may be solved with a larger map size in the future but at the moment it feels as though servers are willow starved

Alpha Two Phase II Feedback Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:
• Server Load Combat Impacts – As the server takes more load the combat for both NPCs and players gets less responsive. Mobs chase much further when the server isn’t impaired and respond more quickly. Player action is heavily delayed.
• Map Failures - This also seems related to the inventory issue below. Map will not let you loot the chest but if you have a party member, they may be able to loot for you.
• Inventory bugs - Many inventory issues exist where you will move items and it will not appear moved in either bank nor inventory until you get on a mount. This also appears to impact maps. This is worse during times of severe server load such as when huge fights are going on.
Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:
• Freeholds break the current economy as they provide resources that cannot be gained in towns by individuals. If they are allowed to free farm willow and other resources that are extremely rare with quantities that quickly outstrip individual efforts it will create a huge economic issue. Allow players to grow trees, bluebell and other resources in cities. Farming has flax as a huge part of the progress towards level 10 yet the next tier only has foodstuffs. Farming should continue to allow the creation of all the items that someone can craft on a freehold, yet with lesser numbers.
• With the loss of gear for going red, gear should be easier to come by. The crafting of gear is difficult and takes much longer than grinding in dungeons for gear. There are bugs that cause players to go red incorrectly and they should not be punished for defending themselves.

Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

Caravan is the best way for small pvp to develop at a moments notice and the flagging system to join the event is super difficult when you roll up in a group. You have to drop group to flag on them. It seems the group leader is supposed to flag for the entire group and it doesnt work.

Mobs dropping loot. It seems the farther we get away from a server restart the less drops we get in Carphin at the top. Steelbloom works perfectly fine throughout the entire day.

Stacking all the weapon perks is the biggest fix you can make to make things feel more balanced in pvp

Inventory being bugged. i pick things up and my inventory doesnt show them in there and it just locks me out of everything while im farming.

Treasure Maps im completely locked out of. I did quite a few and they were so much fun. I click on one now and nothing happens. it does not disappear but I just cant do them on my main character

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:
Respect the time of the players that have sunk 100+ hours into the game the last couple weeks. theres been a good amount of exploits ive heard about and seen for myself. the players doing this need to be punished not the entire server I believe it would kill the test

The game is great I can not wait to keep seeing how it is developed and continue playing. The foundation is just fantastic. Thank you

Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Caravans bugging out and disappearing either from server issues or from players alt+f4-ing. It's incredibly frustrating to run one knowing that it could vanish on you at any moment, forcing you and any friends (other caravans or protectors) to quite literally wait until the recovery option shows up, if at all.

2. Gatherable materials too low underground/spawning inside of rocks and becoming impossible to gather. Weeping Willow tree spawns seem to be notorious for spawning with the base inside of rocks and cannot be gathered. Azmaran's trees outside of the node are ALL spawned too low, so I hope this is remedied quickly.

3. Bugged mob spawns. There are many instances of mobs (specifically minotaur berserkers) bugging out and being free farm locations or spawning immediately when killed, allowing players to exploit those while half-afk with no risk for extreme amounts of experience.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Increase the XP gained from processing/crafting higher tier materials similar to how gathering them does. This would partially alleviate the issues of resource bottlenecks (specifically metals such as zinc or copper for armor/weaponsmithing) by rewarding the player for using higher quality, more expensive materials rather than favoring bulk low-quality materials to grind levels in that artisan skill.

2. Players are currently able to drown themselves to get a free fast-travel to their home node with no penalties aside from gear durability loss (no loss of materials or xp debt). I'm unsure if this is intentional but it makes it far too easy to transport rare materials safely as long as a body of water is nearby and your home emberspring is where you're wanting to go. I'd suggest making materials drop normally from drowning as if dying from any other source, making the choice to do so costly but still a viable means of travel (for now).

[uneven moss]

Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. All issues where caravans are stuck in deploying state permanently and caravans disappearing mid-trip followed by becoming unrecoverable permanently
2. Treasure maps breaking and disabling character from using them permanently
3. Tank bug where you can stack up to 90%+ mitigation values
4. Bug where anti-heal from mobs such as zombies and thaumaturges cause healing abilities to damage players instead of heal them
5. Certain skills and passives in skill trees being completely non-functional (i.e. cc immunity passive in ranger tree, cc break via blink in mage tree, etc)

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1 - Treasure maps not usable
2- Caravan storage sizes not what they claim
3-** inventory tomfuckery**
4- My Neon colored gear...
5- Ranger ability scatter shot Double casting often ( low prio)

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:
1 - Resources dont all have all rarity, like corpses seem to not go very high rarity
2 - Rarity Mounts should provide stats like hp and movement speed on rarity even if only +3% speed for each rarity.
3 - Static resource locations are NOT ok.... there should be large variable spawn locations, as well as more copper/zincs
4 - **Leave servers 24/7 going forward. no reason to take them down aside from the marketing you shot yourself in the foot with... its gonna feel HELLA BAD... **
5 - TAKE ACTION AGAINST MALICIOUS EXPLOITERS! LIKE MANY ENVEUS MEMBERS WHO HAVE ABSOLUTE IMMUNITY FROM INTREPID (public perception)

[sharp latch]

======================
Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:
(no particular order)

• The Zombie Healing Debuff causing DMG instead of No-Healing
• Treasure Maps
• Exploitable stuff (mobs for exp, caravans, training etc)
• All the Caravan Bugs

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

• Exploiting, Griefing, Scripting etc really needs to be punished (I know it's in the works, but I really hope it's gonna be harsh and large scale enough, like a non-permanent ban for the rest of phase2 to finally get the message across because otherwise nothing will ever change)
• an LFG chat would really be amazing as questions etc are absolutely drowning in the LFGs rn
• Server performance has increased yet, but due to the increased number of players the POI SWs are not really comfy to be at
• Toxicity has to be addressed and worked against early on, else imho it will carry over into the released game and that was never good for any game
• Griefing players by destroying their caravans, not because of the gold but just to ruin people's fun is a flaw in the system. I think overall the caravan system is great but similar to training mobs into low level players where the high levels don't get a lot out of it other than the possibility to be toxic, there needs to be some way to not make the same possible for caravans that are just getting killed to be toxic, not to extract the cargo

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Caravan's being healed by unflagged/non-participant.
2. Sorting of the Marketplace by item and not by keywords.
3. Switching of clothing to harvest items. Don't like this but I understand it.
4. Spread us out. Can't compete over resources if there is none to begin with.
5. Harvestable materials in the deserts. They are all covered by sand.

[torpid meadow]

======================
Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Momentum off of Fighters charge when collision doesn't register will send you off flying and aggro still snaps from mobs while charging off like a slingshot pebble.

2. NPC vendors, while it is congestion it didn't feel good to not be able to use them or spam until it worked.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Hunting, I understand it's not fully implemented but it felt awful to spend over an hour running around the map not finding anything I was targeting. Not only specific to Hunting but gathering in general, its current state favors zerg groups and people funneling mats to their own clique, while that is an mmo specific trait an mmo also merits all play styles even those that don't participate in zerg economics.

2. I don't like how jarring the tiers of gear every 10 levels spikes up, its a do and fail if you don't transition, the spike can be there but not a double the values spike. Also, the white items from the vendor on the nodes did not have all base items like the physical focus, why? It punishes those that deviated from the cookie cutter build, have all base white items on the vendors. The game is far too deep into the sandbox category now, i wish it would pull back little back into traditional mmo.

3. Travel time, i understand and agree a large world is needed but right now it feels like an excuse to bottle neck resources, being a citizen of a node in Canada and the party that invited me wanting a camp in Australia did not feel good to travel 15 to 20 min for a 30 min party(obnoxious use of Canada and Australia to compare distance).

4. To piggy back off the gear topic, because the jarring spikes in power exists, gear as we level is far too uncommon when we have to hard replace it.
   ======================

[prisma pivot]

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Log in issues. It often takes myself and my partner upwards of 10minutes to log in. There is a 30% chance the game will crash and you need to attempt to re log..
2. Broken quests need to be fixed
3. Citizenship is bugging such as payments to maintain etc, including the quests to get rewards

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Removing of processing or the ability to add all items in one go not with the selected QTYs its just annoying
2. Imporved quests and or just more quests. Farming exp is honestly boaring without a purpous.
3. Fast travel is a must. I dont expect it everywhere but you should be able to use a flying mount or something of the type to get between main cities and or points of interest like doungens. I would be what i class myself as a normal player who has a family and work full time...its just to long wasted on walking around and this is only a small section of the world

I got lots more but this is the core stuff

[hushed zephyr]

Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Caravan bugging out and despawning
2. Pvp mechanics are abusable and should probs get figured out
3. Treasure maps should get fixed up
4. Monster leashing and pathing needs to be updated
5. rebalancing of artisan stats and gear farmed.
   Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:
6. Unsure on your intentions with how gatherables spawn but as of now they are predictable and able to be camped quite easily (try adding more randomness)
7. i would like armor degradation to be in sooner rather than later so lower artisans can be more needed.
8. I would like intrepid to further clarify their stances on datamining and ashes codex.
9. more class balancing. i know its in the works already though.
10. biome-specific resources so we can all spread out more.

1. Having to reset parties (and games fully) due to no exp or the party being bugged
2. Flagged status not displaying properly (Enemy will show as flagged, but when you kill them you get corrupted)
3. Mayoral quests have lots of non working quests (fish/mine/cut in region and the region doesnt count)
4. Being able to stack all weapon passives

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Pushing only the bad actor/exploiters and not all the people that have commited time to leveling and playing the game
2. Need more metrics when it comes to voting. It only shows the winners and their votes. Would like to know the rankings and where they came from if thats intended
3. Leveling is only done by grinding mobs, questing does not feel useful
4. Caravans are super hard to attack/defend when in big groups
5. No indicator on enemy vs ally abilities

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. **Everything that requires me to close the game for it to work. **
2. Caravans Breaking - Stuck Deploying, Deleting and disappearing while driving, or crossing SWs. Unrecoverable
3. Party/Raid UI - UI is buggy and unreliable - Debuffs don't always display, out of range doesn't always update
4. **Skills / Abilities - Pretty much all the Archetype abilities that don't work or are inconsistent due to performance. **
5. **Weapons Trees - Having Finisher procs for all weapons that you've leveled up. Make the weapon trees more interesting. **

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. **Caravans Attack/Defend - Be able to join as a group/raid instead of leaving group just to remake the group mid battle. **
2. **Nodes - Citizenship: Charge more to live in a node to spread citizenship out to other nodes. **
3. POIs - More valid POIs to help promote travel to other nodes
4. **Proper way to obtain Freeholds without it being a land grab, rush to get gold. **
5. **Guild Features - Officers (Declare / Surrender Wars), Member levels, last time online **

======================

[ivory bluff]

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Fix Caravan bugs. They can vanish in several different instances and sometimes be recoverable and sometimes not. As the best way to generate gold in the game they are a core system that needs to work great. They are a massive investment and losing one to a bug is absolutely tragic and demotivating.
2. Fix treasure maps. Currently if you log out with the treasure map quest it may disappear from your log and you'll never be able to use them on that character again. Also, the mound and cache interactions are supper buggy and you often times can't even take the items.
3. Fix mob aggro mechanics. Its far too easy for someone to train mobs on your group and wipe them.
4. Many crafting recipes are broken or impossible to craft due to the crafting materials being impossible to obtain or other reasons. Do a pass on all items and make sure they are actually craftable and that rarity affects them correctly.
5. Put a major focus on getting dynamic gridding online. Most POIs are unplayable during peak times because of the lag.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Don't tie citizenship with the best capes for specific classes. Whether or not a town has the best cape for your class should not be the main factor for you choosing a town to be a citizen at.
2. Fighter needs significant changes to make it viable in large scale pvp. Other classes have too much low-risk power whereas fighter has to put itself in more dangerous situations despite not being durable at all. REWORK BATTLE CRY. SUCH A SICK ABILITY BUT SO LOW IMPACT.
3. ADD MORE INCENTIVE FOR PVP. Currently there is almost no reason to PVP outside of events. Add incentive to being flagged and the risk that comes with PVP. Add rare/more resources to the pvp zone. Add bonus xp/luck to being flagged.

[next mountain]

Most Important Bugs

1. Caravan Issues
   • Caravans randomly disappear or become unrecoverable.
   • Players using ALT+F4 can cause caravans to lose their 'event' status, making them unattackable.
2. Class Abilities Not Working
   • Many abilities, especially CC cleanse abilities, are broken.
   • Refer to the bug list here: https://forums.ashesofcreation.com/discussion/63928/list-of-mage-class-bugs
3. Hunting Gear Bug
   • Rarity, speed, and XP bonuses from hunting gear don't apply when equipped.
4. Freehold Output Errors
   • Example: Planting a weeping willow but harvesting it returns oak instead.

Most Important Feedback Topics

1. Lack of Meaningful PvP Incentives
   • PvP needs better rewards and incentives. For instance:
     • High-tier resources should only exist in lawless zones, encouraging a risk-vs-reward dynamic.
     • World bosses should dynamically create temporary lawless zones around them, forcing guilds to battle for control before defeating the boss.
     • Add more controlled PvP events similar to caravans.
2. Dynamic Render Distance Scaling
   • The harsh render distance scaling during large fights ruins combat and PvP.
   • Players and abilities are barely visible beyond 10-15m in crowded scenarios, which heavily impacts gameplay.
3. Desert/Tropic Zones Incentives
   • Introduce harvestable nodes in desert and tropic zones.
   • Add increased rarity to materials found in these zones to encourage players to contest lawless areas.
4. XP & Stat Dampening at Level 25
   • This mechanic feels unnecessary and was absent for most of P1 testing.
   • Grinding XP debt (to clear Stat dampening) after hitting the level cap is frustrating and detracts from the game’s flow.
5. Player Duels
   • Add the ability to right-click and challenge players or groups to duels.
   • Include an option to normalize stats, ensuring balanced duels regardless of gear or level.

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:
#1 CARAVANS: Caravans poofing out of existence, teleporting you across the map when you cross a server worker, allowing people to combat log caravans while they are taking damage, really really bad flagging system on caravans
#2 MITIGATION: Massive mitigation exploit on tanks that have been stacking 95% damage mitigation with a bugged ability for weeks now
#3 (Personal bias) CC BREAKS: Please fix the CC breaks on mage and cleric so they work properly these classes feel very atrocious to play against chain CC classes like tank, bard, fighter etc with how long the current CCs can last with no diminishing returns

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Mob spawns desperately need to be adjusted for the higher pops on servers
2. You actually have a full function gameplay loop with endgame pvp in place already in an alpha which is actually very impressive, if you can get the caravan issues sorted youll have a very fun game ready.
3. Just wanted to say since most feedback is gonna be criticism that this is the best alpha I have played in a long time, still a ways to go for the full game, but this game completely took me by surprise with how fun it is.

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Caravan indefinite state of deploying, have not and cannot summon or start a caravan at all since & Caravan poofing while converting to ground/raft
2. Inventory/ storage bug, (items not showing when moving/ not moving at all)
3. multiple recipes not learning the correct item such as the recipe dropped from "The bloodied"
4. cannot join caravan events when you are in a party and not leader.
5. Caravans not being able to be damaged if the driver of the caravan is dead and has not yet respawned, they can also abuse emberspring protection while in a caravan event to slowly move the caravan

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Need clarity on caravan events, such as; description on whos caravan event you are approaching and the ability to join the attacker side without being directly next to the caravan itself.
2. Healers and bards dont need to join caravan events to help either side, and often someone not in the event just crowbars the loot after so the attackers dont get anything
3. I believe there should be more lawless zones and more desired resources inside of them, the pvp caused by the hunting resources in tropics and desert is some of the truest content in the game right now, also i believe there should be lower mob density in the lawless desert for more fair pvp

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Add more incentive to go into the desert nodes, currently its just not worth going near outside of leveling.
2. Mining (copper, slate etc.) needs more attention, as every mining node sharing a spawn causes high level nodes spawning at beginning at wipe. Then right about now (2ish weeks in) there is really only basalt and granite around.
3. There is really only 1 good grind area for Steelbloom (rose, bloom etc.) armor sets, in the sewer/underground of Steelboom. Seems like its only the lvl 19+ mobs drop it, which are only in the underground area. There are some (1-2 in every corner of entire POI) sergeants 19+ on the outside, but its not enough.
4. Consider making enemy ground abilities separate colors? Idk if this fits, but currently large scale is kinda hectic

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Improve/develop the desert nodes.. We could not level them up at the start of phase 2 because nothing was there. Mobs disappeared after a few days.
2. Allow us to search for actual items in the Marketplace instead of relying on the descriptions of players' storefronts.
3. Bloodrunner set for rangers is non-existent in Carphin. All classes have a chance to earn feasible sets except rangers.

1. Caravan Bugs. Caravans are disappearing.
**2. **Storage/Inventory bugs and glint looting bug.
3. Resources being un harvestable. Willow spawning through the mesh and you cant chop them.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Players should not be able to lose their PvP flag if they are taking damage from another player. A player's flag coming off during a fight while taking damage has caused the attackers to go red and lose gear/gain XP debt.
2. Mob leashing takes way too long.
3. Need a mail system to send items to each other and other characters.

4. Caravan deploy bugging out when dieing with caravan deploy item in inventory.
5. Caravan events not working so you cant flag for it and alt f4ing to make the caravan disconnect to prevent caravan loss in pvp.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Caravans are alot of fun to do and a good system. It just needs work to make it so the only danger is other players instead of bugs.
2. Flagging needs work to make sure accidental corruption doesnt happen. especially with the current harsh penalties.

4. I like that there is an attempt at a chat filter, but it is a bit heavy-handed. You can't type raccoon or spicy. Maybe give a user the option to opt-out. I blur chat on my Twitch stream.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Artisan progression is a bit too interdependent on rare items, at least for the base level. Maybe allow common-only crafts/drops/processes until tools are upgraded.
2. Proximity voice would be nice to have. Make it opt-in and give people a way to mute others. Mass reporting could lead to privilege removal, but there are some large groups and they could coordinate a mass false-report attack as well. Balance is hard to find.
3. We need a dedicated LFG chat channel. Global chat is nothing but LFG spam. Simple fix until something better and more thematic can be developed. Maybe a town upgrade for dungeons within their node.
4. Guild recruitment advertising (billboards in-game).

Please just reset Enveus and Polar and ban their leadership that was implicit in the exploiting.

They have duplicated and exploited the game to the point where Vyra's economy and server health overall is in shambles and they have all of the keys to the kingdom.

Treasure maps- I am bugged and can't use them.

[slender shoal]

======================
Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Caravans. As the primary source of gold (adding extra risk to exchange glint for a more reasonable gold rate) this should be an important focus. Without these working more consistently, the data regarding ... basically everything else, economy, scales of pvp, acceptable risk / reward ratios, everything else is tainted. Crashes causing the loss of your caravan.

2. Caravans. Losing caravans when crossing server lines.

3. Caravans. The recovery button lacks a distance/direction indicator, as well as not having the capability to recover caravans that are underground, or otherwise out of 'reach'.

4. Caravans. Not being able to join attack / defense, while in a party / raid.

5. Caravans. Attacker / Defender flags persisting after appropriate, allowing griefing of players in general, but especially in cities without the appropriate risk models being enforced.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Exploiting. I appreciate Steven's declared intent to address this issue. Individuals / Guilds blatantly abusing the war system, duping, taking caravans through Lionhold Bay / through the barrier, etc. I just hope that he has the integrity and foresight to follow through with both character deletions / resets, and for entire guild deletions and even bans for repeat / grievous offenders. I include entire guilds, because when mass exploitation occurs like we saw with the war system, entire guilds benefit, and a message needs to be sent to everyone that partaking in these exploitation methods, even indirectly such as using the glint rewards to run caravans, that this behavior isn't acceptable, especially in a testing environment, that genuine testers have paid for the privilege of participating in. If this is approached with a soft hand it will only encourage the behavior, which harms the testing environment for both the testers and the developers.

2. Resource scarcity. I'm potentially in the minority here, but I appreciate the degree of scarcity for specific necessary resources. Things like Raptor Hides only being in one spawn location, the steep rarity of copper compared to its level of need, etc. It encourages social engagement and the forced careful use of specific resources, in order to grow at the individuals, guilds, nodes, and even server wide levels.

3. Corruption. Being able to mitigate the (imo, appropriate) harsh penalties of corruption by having guildies / team mates kill you and preserve your loot, removes a huge aspect of the risk model of this system. Frankly, I don't even know how you would go about finding a balanced way of correcting this behavior, but I add it to my list because I believe it is important enough to put some serious thought into how to correct this issue.

1. As a Tank I feel like that the debt that we take on in group content especially when player are learning is a bit harsh. I might be a bit bias in this but as a tank we tend to be the first to die in a group and gives time for others to leave / leash and save there lives. Our deaths are not always faults of our own and would like to see that represented in the debt that we get because of others choices.

2. Id like to see flagging for PvP be more impactful. Someone should not be able to flag attack unflag and bait individuals into a fight that ends with the baited individual to end up RED.

3. Marketplace UI Upgrade PLEASE, worst UI and Item searching I've ever got to experience, needs to be re-done, needs to allow people to compare prices biased on items.

Feedback:

1. Levelling experience from 0-25 feels inane in test environment, quests aren't working, there is no real need to be anything but level 25 to test the actual content such as group dungeons etc. Give relevance to lower level areas and move away from grind farming mechanics so we can properly test the balance/ratio of parties to zones.
2. More functionality to smaller guild sizes, current dynamic puts pressure on guilds to maximise playercount for power in order to access the higher level testing features, and gives advantage to zerg guilds.

Fix issues with unbalanced systems so the casuals can stop saying "Meh Exploiter" for merely playing the game more than they do, playing a game to it's peak min/max isn't exploiting (And also will persist into launch no matter how much people cry about it) it's just being better than someone and using the game systems as they are there. Without communication from the team on what is/isn't an exploit it's only a matter of time before no one is actually testing and people merely play for fun ignoring that crucial portion of this alpha.

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Error 535; my character is gone and I don't know how long it would take to get it back, or any feedback on its status.
2. The caravan issues that others have mentioned pretty frequently
3. Profession equipment not providing the proper buffs to the associated profession

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Mob training is truly demotivating and a huge drawback for many players, especially ones wanting to be devoted to this game.
2. Griefing and corruption mechanics should be more severe (assuming the bugs are worked out) and caravan attackers/defenders should function more smoothly. Players have been mentioning issues with those for many weeks now so I assume you guys are aware of em, but just wanted to throw in my voice as well.
3. Freeholds were locked down pretty early and it feels pretty bad to not ever be able to claim one as a guild, unless a node dies. A lot of content was stolen by the dupers/exploiters/no-lifers and I wish they'd been more staggered so there were more opportunities to obtain them.
4. Zerging as multiple guilds and being overrun by zergs by sheer force of numbers in content, from collecting in the open world to buying freeholds to being pushed out of farm spots to being bullied and war declared on repeatedly (I know this was also an exploit partly) doesn't feel good.
5. Thank you guys for working on the game and being open about what you are trying to accomplish! I know your jobs are hard, and I appreciate your efforts to make an amazing game for years to come.

Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. CARAVANS - These are ESSENTIAL to progression. It is the ONLY reliable way to make gold in the game. Anyone who has experienced no caravan issues has a massive amount of gold compared to someone who has experienced countless issues. This allows them to buy up materials and resources, gear, etc. It also allows them to maximize crafting. It is also massively tilting to players due to the time sink in both farming the glint and running the actual caravan. It also compounds upon itself, as you can invest further into your caravan to make MORE gold, but if it glitches you lose everything. It's just a massive part of progression that is extremely frustrating to deal with currently.
2. Exploiters! People who glitched mobs to lvl 25 should be reset. Their gold should be taken away. May already be too late for this, as their gold has already been reinvested back into the market in multiple ways. IMO a massive shortfall for intrepid to release this phase and then go on vacation for 2 weeks while the playerbase ran rampant.

1. Node Taxes not working
2. Inventory bug
3. Mayoral commissions (gathering) sometimes don't work.
4. Caravans are buggy!
5. TREASURE MAPS are broke!

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Gathering/Crafting loop is broken. There are MANY threads to go over to gain insight.
2. Crafters should make the best stuff. Mobs should not drop better gear.
3. Caravans should not be the only source for good income. Small guilds/parties can't compete due to big guilds hunting caravans.
4. PLEASE make crafting worth it and take a look at the gatherable nodes (particularly mining).
5. Hunting/Husbandry - consider random spawns for rarer animals (raptors, gators, etc.) to keep botters/spawn campers down. Adjust costs to husbandry to be more inline with potential income from tames.

KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!

2. Not getting XP after a kill
3. Losing caravan for multiple reasons
4. Being silenced or sleeped by a player when not flagged for PvP

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. There needs to be away to control large guilds. Zergs have their place but when the game is controlled by a zergs it makes the game not fun and eventually people leave.
2. I look forward to the day when questing is just as viable as grinding mobs.
3. Voting of mayors is not ideal since Zerg guilds will always win. The is bad for that Node and the people that play in that node. Eventually those nodes will be empty and only have that guild playing in it. Similar to atlas. Possibly limit the number of guild members that can become a citizen of that node?

======================
Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Deadly derby scrolls. these are used currently to just gank people in nodes mostly, or as a cheaper alternative to actual war decs. but the thing is, these enable Global PVP for the participants. not just within the borders of the event. this needs to be fixed asap, or just disabled entirely till a fix is made.

2. Ghost gatherables. many times you can find gatherable items that have already been gathered. or at least are things you cant interact with. the display hasnt caught up with the status of the resource. this happens a lot in Winstead area on Vyra.

3. No coal
   Currently there is no coal available in the game. we cant do many T3 crafts which rely on coal from journeyman mining because it just doesn't exist yet. plz give us coal

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Again on the war decs and exploiters. it was sadly, a poor decision for intrepid to launch P2 then go on a two week vacation. this left various exploiters and greifers to run rampant for almost the entire holiday uptime. Anger has festered and the community calls for the permabans of multiple guilds at this point. Toxic behavior and exploiters must be delt with more harshly than just a simple slap on the wrist and character wipe at this point. they just dont care and will continue to be problems unless properly delt with, openly stating in game and on here that they will just do it all again. I hope you guys can deal with this well after checking the logs.

2. Fishing derby and war decs pt2.
   So, i mentioned this a bit in the bug section as well, but these enable pvp server wide instead of within the event borders. ontop of that, they have been abused to just gank people in nodes. what guilds would do is set up a level 20+ death squad in a node, find someone from a small guild half their level at a node service then dec them and instant gank them. there isnt any way to combat this really from the pov of the level 15 or under on day 3 of the p2 being surprised ganked. these various decs need some serious overhaul to not be just an un counterable greif button on the servers.

3. Middle tier and multi step/item processing.
   the complexity involved with this is astounding and im...overall okay with it. however, they do need a serious adjustment. currently to make a slate mold you need 3 slate, a bluebell thread, a willow board, and animal fat between 3 separate processing jobs. the issue arises when you need all of the items and the results to be the same rarity. this is just pure suffering that we cannot mix and match rarity here at all. ontop of that, if say, rarity procs when making a slate mortar and you get a tier higher than what you put in, well now your mats for the slate clay are useless and you have to start over. you cant use an epic slate mortar with Heroic slate clay. this especially hurts with the issues obtaining animal fat of anything above uncommon as there appears to be a bug with hunting rarities. a great fix for this, is to simply allow it to act as crafting does. mixing different rarities.

4. Gatherable item density.
   So, a big issue here, is in fact that you upped server capacity to half of your launch goal, but have only 15% or less of the final launch map, squishing us all together. I understand you guys want rarity and conflict of resources, and that it has gotten better after you guys adjusted resource respawns, but there are still very heavy and very painful bottlenecks that need adjustment. T1 and T2 resources should not be all that rare except for obvious things like difficult to get wood in a desert. At least for T1 resources they should be fairly abundant and easy for everyone to get and use. i mean, in the launch of P2, I shouldnt have to kill someone over a granite node man.

Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Treasure maps quest function still broken - unable to start new ones or see old one
2. Lighting in Forge can sometimes creating blinding light that sometimes is resolved by adjusting global illumination and shadow details setting sup and down. It also appears to change as day/night cycle changes between stages.
3. Moving items in and out of the inventory can sometimes lead to "stuck" moving items which will then make me unable to remove or place things in bags. This also happens sometimes in looting. Logging out and back in to resolve it.
4. Mobs stuck or bugged in place but behaving as though they are leashed, making them unkillable and keeping me in combat until I leave the area.
5. Trees often appear as adult but are not cutable/cosmetic. Example: those in large forests around Halcyon even those far from the town.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. I don't like that the costs of some crafted goods can be far more than what you get from the vendor when selling it, not just materials but the actual cost of crafting it at the bench. Carpentry sees this with things like boxes vs carriages.
2. Their is inconsistency and frustration in the aggro distance of mobs.
3. The view distance in the game makes it hard to really engage in things like Monster hunting/farming, and PvP. Not being able to see some things until you are on top of it makes it not enjoyable.
4. While not perfect, I do enjoy that the games resource and economics system encourages things like player interaction, both friendly and PVP. It really gives hope to the dynamic world and of the games future nodes and kingdoms. I hope you keep this focus on forced interaction going forward.

1. Inventory / storage bug, having to relog so many times to fix the various issues/bugs involving inventory not updating / not being able to loot etc

2. Terrain / mob ai exploits

3. There is a lot of issues with Caravans, they definitely need some TLC since they are a big investment and are a target.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. The current testing phase's economical / gear environment has been corrupted by the exploiters unnaturally fast leveling and over farming in a short space of time, flooding the market place with items that shouldn't be there and demotivating everyone who leveled legitimately, and the first step to resolving this is accepting the reality of how many players exploited and reach level 25 within the first 2 - 3 days.

2. Get rid of item/gear drops and make everything crafted. Only drop recipes or equivalent from mobs.

3. Reduce the resource upkeep costs on nodes / add some way of generating passive gold income for nodes. Dead/low traffic nodes won't be able to sustain themselves in the current environment but all nodes are needed for journeyman crafting, in fact more nodes are needed to cover all professions at journeyman level.

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Many times while running you will get stuck in a bug where you have to stop moving, sometimes backup and then you can move again.
2. The lighting in Carphin and now especially the Forge either during day/night changes or death.
3. As a bard, the fact that the melody will lock you in combat and prevent trading without turning it off, as well as the visual effect sticking around.
4. The weird healing uno reverse bug where healing hurts/kills you.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Cooper and Willow seem to be extremely rare, likely because some of those nodes get locked into levels of mining that currently are unattainable. Obviously when the game is full out this will be less of an issue cause someone/somewhere will have access to mine/cut those out but till then, the rarity of Copper/Zinc and Willow seem to be a high limit.
2. Caster gear seems to drop more rare than physical gear, and seems to have less variety. Would like to see a bit more variety in that, especially since right now it seems like Steelbloom is the only good place to get that type of gear.
3. Caravan system I think needs a little tweaking. Phase 1 it did seem like it provided more gold at the high levels that likely the economy can handle, however currently the returns are less and make it hard to justify hiring guards for even the highest level.

1. I finally levelled up and joined a node, and now I suddenly have 4 days to pay my taxes, which are 174 tax certificates. I would have waited to join if I had known that, that is IF we get more time. I understand that taxes need to be paid, but as a solo player I am not sure I can find 376 glint or so to make my taxes in time. I didn't know you could only use glint for that, or I wouldn't have sold a ton. Maybe a better guide to that.
2. Maybe a way to mute/adjust the constant sounds that you hear when you are in a town from everyone leveling up. I don't mind that people level up, but the constant sounds get a bit much after a while.
3. A better explanation of some basic mechanics /tutorial would be nice. As a person who is new to MMORPGs I love the game, but things like explaining the glint would be nice.

Item issues where items can disappear in inventory

Rubberbanding when running or riding a mount.

attacking mob issues. There were times when I would pull a Germ and he would be on me and I would take a ton of damage in a row. I'm sure I have a few recordings where it would be nothing then boom 112 150 100 and my health was nearly gone.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:
node respawn rates. ie copper. it has been hard to find. putting a leveling cap on items after a certain level might help this issue. So after level 5 you would get half experience for mining a resource then after level 10 you wouldn't get anything.
Have some mobs drop crafting items, ie shards of copper, ruby fragments.

2. caravans disappearing/yeeting for no reason.
3. the memory leak bug that overloads ram (at least 64GB) when you log out to character select, and back in. Forcing a crash.
4. the random invisible walls that stop you/your mount for traveling. You have to either dismount and re-mount, or you have to go around the invisible wall. Or else you infinitely rubber-band.

1. Guild wars are fun. However, it was annoying the the GM told us we couldn't camp ember spring. It's perfectly fine for rats and pvp'ers to camp the emberspring... but it's not okay for guildwars? Even though they have a 60 second invincibility counter? That was kinda annoying... either make put the spring in the city or make the area have guards if you don't want camping.

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Bugs with inventory. Items sometimes cannot be moved or appear to be duplicated (as in, when you try to move an item from one inventory slot to another, it acts as if it is occupying both the original slot and the new slot). The only way I have found to fix this is to close and reopen the game.
2. Bug that causes inability to pick up items. A temporary fix can sometimes be getting on and off your mount, but often it requires closing and reopening the game.
3. The bug that causes players to get stuck while moving. It happens most often when on my mount. I'll be walking forward, and then all of the sudden it's like there is an invisible wall. I have to back up and move to the side, then I am able to keep moving forward.
4. I am occasionally unable to target enemies in a fight using the tab or b keys.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. It would be nice if enemies/monsters would render in sooner, especially when it is a higher level monster in the middle of a main road that isn't always expected to be there.
2. I understand the need for scarcity, but I still think the spawn rates of copper and zinc could be just a tiny bit higher. I'm level 26 in mining and only level 9 in metalworking because of how little copper and zinc I am able to find. I have plenty of tin to process, but I cannot process it until I hit level 10 in metalworking.
3. On the topic of scarcity, I also feel like the drop rate of emblems is a bit too low considering crafting one bow requires 10. I grinded Steelbloom for about four straight hours and only got a few emblems. It makes sense to not be able to mass produce those bows, but it would be nice to be able to craft at least one.
4. This is more of a polishing thing, but I do find myself wishing there were fish and plants in the water when swimming underwater. The water looks great, but having some life would help enhance immersion.

3: people apparently can logout after launching a caravan to make it so no one can attack them, thats an issue imo.

4: caravan qol, needing to drop party or swap party lead to join events is annoying, also when there's a lot of events where there's enemies and friends its confusing to tell who's is who's without running around to make sure a specific one pops up first.

Top 1-3 Most Important Feedback Topics:

Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

For context, I am a 22 Cleric. 21 Stonemasonry, 17 mining, 15 lumberjacking.

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Sometimes your heals hurt people and you go corrupted if they die, even when not fighting zombies. I nearly killed a lowbie who was fighting a grem, and I checked for the zombie debuff beforei healing them. Today one of my guild mates went corrupted from healing someone that they were trying to help. Being afraid to heal random people is not a good feeling.

2. It appears that gatherable resources always have the same rarity. If you mine a legendary ruby, then come back 2-4 hours later you will get legendary from it again. So will other people. While out gathering I have seen people go to specific trees and skipping other adult trees of the same type, presumably they are only gathering the ones they know are better rarity. It makes it really demotivating to make a high quality gathering tool and gathering shirt/pants knowing that other people have found spots that always respawn as epic/legendary and are camping them. This needs to be fixed asap as otherwise the server will get flooded with high quality gear, similiar to how it was when people were duping items.

3. Caravans sometimes despawn mid-run, and if you have a lot of them nearby they will crash people. I did a caravan train of 14 wagons yesterday morning, and only 8 caravans made it without crashing/randomly having their caravan despawn mid-riding it. So many of our guards were crashing every few minutes.

4. There are several large guilds that abused exploits to level up way faster than the rest of the server and gather unreasonable amounts of wealth. They have already "beaten" the game after 2.5 weeks of nonstop farming the forge and are full BiS and have more gold than they need, so have turned to just griefing other players.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. I know ashes has been focused on making hype to ensure this alpha launch was big enough, but I think a lot of the problems in the community right now is from a lack of expectation management. It feels like ashes is currently "overpromising and under delivering" instead of the other way around. Its one thing to say "We are working on this" and another to say "Only discussing things that will launch on the 20th when Alpha two starts, include..."

2. I am a bit lost on what feedback we should be giving for this stage of the Alpha. I would like clear "Hey everybody, this week can you try doing this" kind of direction. Even vague things like "please explore the economy" I know general player feedback is useful, but if an area is currently a placeholder that is going to be completely removed then players shouldn't waste your team's time making hundreds of /bug reports about missing textures or incorrect spawns.

3. There only being 61 freeholds per server feels rather bad. That means at most less than 200 people can find bugs and give feedback. Making them more available would help the server test them.

4. There are several large guilds that mass abused exploits. They have already "beaten" the game after 2.5 weeks of farming the forge and are full BiS and have more gold than they need, so have turned to just griefing other players. This is killing players desire to come back and play. It is disheartening to know you can spend 70+ hours level, meanwhile the people that got 25 in like 24 hours of playtime are trying to stop others from leveling by training mobs into them at every poi/dungeon.

5. I personally dislike GMs spawning items for players. During Steven's 1/2/25 stream he spawned a pair of mounts for a married couple, however neither of those mounts can currently be achieved in game as they are both journeyman mounts and there are no journeyman AH stations on the server. Resource sarcity is something is core to AoC and spawning items for players can break that.

3. Trading loss items. During trades some times the window will lock up after accept is hit and the traded items will disappear into the ether.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. When the Caravan event pops there needs to be a name next to the Caravan event, for whose caravan it is. There was a complication when there were two opposing caravans and some idiocy happened when others joined the fight and they couldn't tell whose caravan event belonged to which caravan.

2. Annoying node bottlenecks especially with Weeping Willow and Raptors. It is a design choice, but it tends to make the game unfun for some.

3. Possibly be a bit harsh in the punishments for exploiting. The systems that are being developed are very competitive, and exploiting, especially with entire guilds doing so, harms the entire test pool especially when it comes to economies.

[Top 3 bugs] 1. NPC and harvesting nodes spawn up in the air or under ground. 2 mobs like the ashen flame warriors being permanently disabled by knockdown. 3 MOB rendering in places there not at. [top 3 feed back] 1. To many particles and spell effects in groups the entire screen gets covered will spell effects. 2. Rangers need 2 melee abilities and warriors need 2 ranged ablate. 3. Weapons need to have 2 or 3 active ability's not just passives

[sturdy yacht]

Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. 525 Unreal Engine Error - Losing main characters permanently to this
2. Caravan bugs ( Transitioning from Water to Land can permanently erase a caravan)
3. the AoE Taunt (Intimidating Aura) does not work properly on desert terrain (minotaur farming is a pain) and some other terrains.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Some crafting professions feel really bad to level due to their exceptionally high cost and no "iron dagger" or "crate" version, such as armorsmith and weaponsmith
2. Drowning to teleport to home and losing nothing. SUPER CONVENIENT, I LOVE IT, but intended?
3. Steven is W
   ======================

[wraith ice]

1 If a flagged person enters the aura of Intimidating Aura, it flags the tank.
2 Looting a dead party members corpse should not flag the party member.
3 If someone trains mobs on another group they need to either be flagged or permabanned.
4 Nodes being in terrain.
5 Map locations not showing for quests and quests not being able to be turned in.

[vast comet]

======================
Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. The bug that allows ppl to use skill tree nodes from unequipped/weapons not in use
2. The bug that makes it so that you have to convert from party to raid and then back to fix party list for some party members
3. Some mobs do not fight back or respawn instantly, this has caused them to be exploited for EXP. (Melee Minotaur’s in Aithanar as an example of not fighting back and the minataur on the hill on the island SW of Winstead for instance spawning mob both have been reported in game)

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Please add Account-wide Citizenship/voting. the use of alts to bypass citizenship cooldowns to run for mayor and to pad voting for certain candidates is concerning.
2. Would like to see more for fishing I understand it’s just a placeholder currently, but even just adding curio coins or treasure maps to the loot table based on Fisher level would help.
3. Personally would really like to see Spear soon, you guys are doing great work ❤️

[stuck hatch]

======================
Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Intense lag and rubberbanding during large-scale pvp.
2. Ranger Camouflage not working 99% of the time
3. The node buffs stack up, hiding important weapon buffs.
4. Mob-training. At the moment, it is the go-to strategy to take over a grind spot or grief other players without risking corruption. This needs to be fixed.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. More needs to be done to reduce the impact of zerg guilds. Right now, there is virtually nothing to stop them from taking over everything and making life miserable for everyone else.
2. The marketplace is pretty bad at the moment. You can't do any kind of targeted search. You just have to flip through 100+ pages or hope the store owner was merciful enough to put the item names in their store description.
3. Exploits, exploiters, and griefers need to be addressed. Two-time offenders need to be banned. First-time offenders need to be reset to level 1 and lose all their stuff.
4. Class balancing needs a bit of love.

[half seal]

Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Weapon traits carrying across all weapons (e.g., Proccing Essence Harvest while using shortbow).
2. Alt-F4ing Caravans.
3. Heals don't crit.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Respect player time and good faith gameplay by punishing bad actors who dupe/exploit with impugnity.
2. Resonance weapon makes bard feel "busy" and waste skills in the pursuit of just proccing shock stacks or mana.
3. Bard sagas outside of Return to Verra and Gravity are largely useless.

[noble tapir]

======================
Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Mob training/griefing.
2. Caravans. Disappearing, teleporting you, etc.
3. Inventory bug. At times I have to relog every 5 minutes to pickup glint.
4. Lag in super populated zones (dynamic meshing). cough Halcyon on Lyneth cough
5. Fix the buffs so I can see what are actually on me.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Crafting/resource availability. Where's all the willow and why does almost every craft require it?
2. Guild system/zerg communities. Will have to see where this goes once more systems come online but still important to get feedback as that happens.
3. Class design. Perhaps it's too early, but there just isn't enough build variety.
4. Quests/commissions. While many quests are not implemented, the current ones are quite boring. I'd rather have very few quests with a lot of content, than a lot of simplistic ones. And commissions are not rewarding.
   ======================

[undone ginkgo]

1. caster class gear drop chance 2. flagged players that, whilst in combat(being attacked) but not attacking, can drop from purple to white(unflagged) and cause the attacking player to go corrupted if they kill them. If two players are purple and in combat, neither should drop to a non-combatant flag until they are out of combat for a period of time.

[mossy niche]

One from each: 1. 250 piece lumbermilling jobs. Can cause major issues when trying to retrieve. Not enough bag space. 2. Vendors should not sell any items above crude tier. This really hurts crafters.

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. caravan infinite event

2. caravan despawning and recovery not working

3. inventory/storrage bug with items trying to move

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. we need more POI‘s with this player densety on that „small“ playable area we have right now

2. more ressource nodes in the dessert and tropics

3. nodesystem with vasals and T4 nodes (prefferable also nodes at the tropics already)
   ======================

[hot niche]

======================
Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Bugs revolving around war(spawn camping, no 5 minute countdown timers to let people in node prepare, etc.)

2. CARAVANS DISAPPEARING

3. Being able to be CCed as a non-combatant. This allows people to flag and grief gatherables

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. General skill/gear balance

2. General response times of NPCs(both friendly and enemy)

3. Gatherables spawns(i.e. 5x swiftclaws on the whole map with 30min timers each)
   ======================

[finite ridge]

======================
Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Treasures from treasure maps not able to loot/interact.
2. Caravan System: Teleport to Carphin unexpectedly. Transfer to carriage while in water. Sinks to bottom of body of water.
3. Stackable debuff/buffs dependent of however many weapons you have trained.
4. Gathering Node rarities seem bug at this time, heard players constantly farmed same node because it was always xx rarity. Expand gathering nodes (all) for an alpha to test systems, limited to those able to get to the resource first and camp it.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Would like to see more areas outside of the riverlands, maybe adding some POIs to the desert.
2. Communicate better/explain what is an exploit versus a bug versus unknown. Some things were called exploits left and right when in fact it may have been a bug or miscommunication on a specific system.
3. Addition of quest lines or working quests with rewards other than glint. Add a little more variety to the game.
   ======================

[mystic tusk]

1. Hunting Rarity Rating not working

2. Caravan bugs (getting portet to carphin, caravan randomly disappearing etc

3. Treasure Maps not working.

[rugged linden]

Feedback

1. rarity of huntable animals is severly lacking
2. cost of animal husbandry is excessive and can only be accomplished in a reasonable time with everyone feeding you money with no ask on geting actual mounts since it's a 50/50 chance of mount or BOB
3. for the cost of animal husbandry, we should be guaranteed a mount or BOB if we choose.

[jade grail]

1- Caravans Bugs especially teleporting you to carphin happens when changing from server workers especially the server workers at the entrance of the tropics near jeova (wiggly road)

2- Mob Aggro/ training

3- Currently status effects from other weapons finishers apply to all weapons ex:
you have bleeding on scepters
Wounded on maces
Staggered on sword
if you do a finisher with a great sword it will apply all those above

4- Crashes and FPS issues after long runtimes

5- War Mecanics fixed so we can get rewards legatimately

6- Fixing Caravan prices from tropics to Dessert

Feedback

1- Punishments to bad actors and griefers / exploiters even in some cases someone who has exploited massively should get a punishment with him + his guild (not the players but the guild as a whole like no wars or etc) this way guilds also look more into who they are recuirting

2- there should be a limit currently to freeholds so that we can all test the freehold systems this will just be limited until the testing phase of this system is done currently a couple of guilds control 90% of freeholds and prob 1 guy owns multiple of them

[hardy veldt]

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Fix the lighting blindness in Befallen Forge, it's physically harmful to our eyes.
2. Fix the Dunzen spell book and other items from Befallen Forge that force into off-hand and are supposed to be main hand
3. Make it more reliable to click into Storage Clerk iventory, have to try 5-10 times almost every time due to so many people in that space.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Need copper to be less insanely rare
2. Add more progression and features to fishing
3. Change how taxes are calculated -- it should be more in the Mayor's control and less influenced by population size and how early or late someone joins the node

[fallen locust]

======================
Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Caravans. Kinda all of it. While operating a caravan you can, get DC'd and not be able to recover, Get randomly teleported to a nearby emberstone as if you were falling under the map and not be able to recover, get DC'd before you launch and have your caravan be forever unable to launch and be unable to buy new caravans anywhere. You have created an environment in which the only viable way to generate revenue is caravans. Alpha or not they need to work.

2. Double Loading - In first test wave you would load in to a black scene while hearing the symphony of your character being beaten to death. For the most part you seem to have remedied this. Now. sometimes, after the first loading screen hits 100% a new loading screen will start, and as it loads you are once again serenaded by the beating of your character. The game crashes a lot, and thats understandable because it's an alpha but players shouldnt be punished with XP debt because the load back in went sideways.

3. Inventory bugs. Your inventory stops availing you of the option to right-click iems to exchange containers. Typically about the time that happens items will not record that they've moved. You will try to move something from one container to another and while the game recognizes the move the graphics don't change. For some reason mounting and dismount can fix this issue temporarily.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Remove all penalties for dying in Opt-In PvP scenarios. Deliberately flagged, Lawless zones, Wars, ETC. Some of this has been covered but there are too many PvP scenarios people want to engage in but wont because stat dampening goes crazy.
2. Overhaul on crafting system so it doesn't feel like a fruitless grind. More resources!

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:
1.mount speed with water creature it makes other mounts obsolete. 2. terrain smoothing, i often get caught in dimples. 3.Resource appearing to be real but not initiating collection action. 4 Lag Time at storage areas when moving items around, also 5. mayoral quest chest
Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Marketplace searching and Stall Labeling needs to be used to communicate but is very restricted. maybe checkboxes for available items or rarity of offered goods. 2.I have been hamstrung by low abundance of metal collection nodes, please moar. 3. In item description for craftables please point toward what item might be used to make. 4.Thank you I love this game so much, you have done an amazing job bring to life a game I've never dared to dream might exist someday. 5. I would like to see the wind move the water surface, for direction and intensity when there is no rain or snow.

======================
Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Caravan's disappearing, no boxes to recover
2. Loot bug
3. Flagged status not displaying properly (Enemy will show as flagged, but when you kill them you get corrupted)

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Draw distance is awful. Totally breaks immersion to see characters floating on their mounts, the draw distance of some monsters is like 1 yard longer than snipe range. It makes everything feel cheap. was not this way in phase 1.
2. The chat system can really use some love
3. please please PLEASE do something about the way mobs agro. Lvl 25s training an assload of lvl 15 3 stars onto a lvl 10-15 group with no penalty is a game killer.
   ======================

[strange kettle]

1. Mob pathing.

2. Keybinding. Need to rebind keys often and many times skills are not able to be bound.

3. Help the tank class. Not enough people are playing them but are a staple in every group. Give more incentive/ skill variety for people to want to play the class.

4. Node progression/war. More incentive to join a node.

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

• Windstead Lumbermill (even during phase 1) has a memory leak associated with it.
• Storage issues (Lag/item shrinking/not able to trade even with empty bags)
• Lack of rarity on certain harvestables
• Gathering tools aren't correctly applying bonuses

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

• Add tradeskill modifications: At the very minimum a number selector for selecting items to process
• Lack of Guild Storage HURTS

[molten depot]

======================
Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Caravans have a chance of disappearing when going through server worker
2. New Aela server border teleporting to last spawned at ember spring
3. Treasure maps being broken when bugged and not reset after the bug feels bad

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Crafting gear vs dropped gear feels horrible in the sense of there is no point to craft anything in this game till level 20 but that is locked behing nodes progressing to that stage
2. Metal items like copper since tin etc only giving a return of 1 copper ore = 1 copper scrap feels bad
3. Leveling feels like crap since there is really only slap mobs for 100 hours for 25 and quest feel worthless to do for 1-3k exp when one mob = 5k exp
   ======================

[marsh fulcrum]

Bugs: 1: Warping and rubber banding, 2: Can not loot anything without re-logging, 3: Clothing showing up all green or yellow. Feedback: need to look into exploitation, extortion and griefing

[clear roost]

======================
Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Collision against terrain rubberbanding players through server de-sync. Falling through the world has come back in some areas.

2. Inventory, storage, party, microservice issues.
   i.e. not being able to pick up glint without relogging. When interacting with storage vendor right clicking doesn't work properly. Having to constantly reform parties/raids. Parties/raids can't join caravan defense/attack unless they leave party then party up after and it still bugs out. Massive Caravan raids not being able to be grouped or have it's on UI hotkey that you can manage which caravans you are attack/defender on.

3. PvE grief mechanics such as pulling mobs through enemies to de-leash them onto others. Basically just fixing the threat generator of mobs in general.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Corruption is overtuned. I would like to be able to police my server and kill a player for griefing my party with a minor consequence that isn't dropping items when items in the world are extremely scarce.

Either make crafting more bountiful, or lessen corruption. That way "gear fear" isn't something that affects the good actors of the player base from defending themselves. Corruption level 1 should not drop items. Corruption 3-4 should be harsh.

• Blight should slowly decay over time and be expedited by quests (I know this is coming later, but re-affirming this should be implemented into the system)
• A corrupted player should be able to defend themselves because of scenarios described above.
• This will help open up room for the bounty hunter system to flourish.
• Make corruption last 15-30 minutes static, can't log out, character persists in world if disconnects. Combatants have same rules. 5-10 minute flagged as combatant, can't log out, character persists if they disconnect.
• Create a justice system that is right for Ashes of Creation (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1VDyhssWgg)
• Max level players that are corrupted should lose levels.
  i.e. For launch of game if max level is 50, then XP can be lost from levels 46-50 and capped at 45 with items breaking down/gain corruption and level 50 items get a slight boost to stats.

2. Commissions, quests, events, all need to be reconsidered in their current form with the exp being granted to mob grinding. I love grinding mobs, but this is a major frustration of the rest of the player base and would also allow more areas to be less contested for me mob grinding with others doing quests :).

3. Don't launch a highly populated phase during Holiday break on a skeleton crew with no moderation.

4. Power progression feels off. Archetypes don't come online early enough. Major gear milestones set players 2-3 levels apart at a much larger disadvantage than players 7-8 levels apart due to power-scaling being gatekept at levels 10, 20, 30, etc.
   i.e. a level 18 player is at a bigger disadvantage fighting a level 21 player than a level 13 player fighting a level 18 player.

This damages caravans, node wars, guild wars, and all other forms of consensual PvP due to gear being too big of a power gap and archetype base stats don't scale that much outside of mana and HP.

I find it weird that mana is % based as well, but understand for now.
======================

[rigid hawk]

1. Randomly inventory items arent appearing or cant move around without a relog. 2. No exp while in groups have to relog. 3. Treasure maps, go to area cant find anything or cant start the treasure map. 4. no matter the lvl mobs chase, but I dont get any loot(whats the point?) 5.merchants randomly cant sell items without a relog. 6. Random crashes. I understand its an alpha just some of the more annoying issues there.

[tacit crater]

BUGS

1. Caravans de spawning/teleporting to other nodes randomly
   2.failed to retrieve error that is causing me to have to try logging in twice
2. Blink cleansing passive is not currently working, which is very tough for mages to break CC in pvp, since this is our only way to do it
   =====================

[rich cairn]

Top 3 Most Important Bugs:

1. Lighting effects (e.g. Mage Illuminate spell) only work at night
2. City taxes are obnoxiously high the larger the population of the city. I understand this is probably intended to force players to move further out but during the alpha test I feel this effect should be scaled back a bit.
3. Inventory Desync issues and right-click to move between bags and bank. This is fixed with a relog but it's frustrating.

Top 3 feedback

1. Your character rigging and animations are fantastic. For instance, the way player characters stand on uneven ground is such an amazing level of detail at this stage of an Alpha. Please thank your animators for their attention to detail.
2. I know that there's been a lot of hate towards the game lately and it just seems completely unreasonable to me. This is an ALPHA TEST. It's a highly playable alpha test, but it's still just a test. Things not working right or not being fully textured is something that should be expected and bugged and not whined about. I think you're all doing an excellent job and are pacing updates really well.
3. The way Steven engages with the community, both in-game and outside of the game, is such a breath of fresh air. Even the way you're inviting us to deliver feedback in this forum is excellent. Thank you all for your hard work on this project.

[odd walrus]

======================
Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Hunting is a nightmare with how rarities and spawns work, getting any medium pieces of armor to Heroic or above is genuinely impossible
2. Caravans will randomly teleport you to carphin if you are on a slight incline
3. Freehold weeping willow tree's drop oak instead of the actual weeping willow

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Hunting Spawns need to be changed in some capacity, certain spawns like otters/raptors are just never going to be accessible for the majority of players. Which doesn't even get started on rarities
2. Need to add filters to player markets, navigating them is a nightmare for people who can't spend an hour going through each store
3. Need more server workers or something, large scale pvp is impossible and is not a fun experience
   ======================

[vague frigate]

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Caravan Event not ending, keeps you flagged
2. Mob Training (Leashing too far, Jump Targets too quickly)
3. Nodes that have loot below surface, glitches from being able to take
4. Treasure Maps
5. Elevation "walls" - Get stuck on random ledges that do not have much elevation change going into towns and randomly through the land

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Lower end mining nodes scarce (copper/zinc/ruby)
2. Mail system to send items
3. "War" system being exploited, needs cooldown or some other functionality

[hoary patrol]

TOP issue period, players abusing exploits, bugs, and had video proof of it yet no punishments are dealt. Example being the dupe found... they need to be perma banned for abusing.

[1] People exploiting caravan bug where you def a caravan and then have people alt F bugging out the caravan, from here you are perma flagged and cant drop as a flag combated allow grefer to go into town wait for you to take out loot then kill you in town.
[2] High Terrain bug, tank going on high ground and pulling mobs close, the mob cant attack the tank and the group is 100% safe
[3] Treasure map locations can spawn under water or under freeholds this need a hot fix.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:
[1] the desert dose exist ! 😂

[icy flicker]

Top 3 most important Bugs 1) Unresponsive Mobs allow players to exploit NPCs. (Rot Dogs) in the cemetery. They farm them as they won't be attacked back. 2) Leashing distance allows players to drag NPCs to non PVPers from long distance (Also aggro issue); 3) copper/zinc distribution (Although some resources are only available in certain areas - core resources should be more readily available on limited servers with large population. Top 3 feedback : 1) Multiple Alts allowed to Vote allows Zerg Guilds to control more than 1 node. (They exploit development and force node's development). This reduces long term balance to the economy. 2) Copper/zinc distribution needs to be more balanced to encourage early crafting. (You get more advancement and a stronger economy - even if it devalues 1 Legendary Copper for 1gold; you will be able to crafter item at higher caliber sooner and make better equipment avaialbe through the market. 3) Trade Channel: Reduce the clutter on Global by developing a trade channel. Overall: Incredible Game. It isn't even fully flushed yet : but is already an incredible experience. Thanks for all the hard work in all the areas.

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Caravans disappearing resulting in lost goods and gold invested on parts

2. People exploiting Safe spots

3. Inventory items not showing

4. Not able to loot materials like glint of the ground

5. Not gaining Xp in groups

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Non-Participants of Caravans should not be able to heal any Participant nor should they be able to open boxes the drop from broken caravans

2. Purple players should remain purple if they are attacked by other players. Unfair to turn red due to someone appearing purple and it wears off but
   Nameplate still shows purple

3. You should have to Flag Purple to attack red players. It is unfair a red player can defend himself without making corruption worse

4. Mages have too much mitigation for how much DPS they actually do

5. Power spike from enchanted level 10 gear is too high resulting in insanely low time to kill rates. Would be nice to have a more methodical approach to pvp and not just blowing people up.
   ======================

[dawn niche]

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Caravan disappears/Game Crashes as we are riding the Caravan

2. Sometimes, after recovring the caravan and summong it again, the horse spawns underneath the floor, so we can mount the caravan.

3. If we log out or crash while having a caravan beacon/item to summon the caravan, when we log back in the item disappears and the caravan is stuck on "deploying" and can no longer be used and we cant purchase a new one.

4. At some point we end up having 1112930102 buffs permanently and we dont even know what they are, but they keep duplicating themselves

5. To be able to select Defender/Attacker in a caravan even you either have to drop group, be the leader of the group, or not be in a group at all. This is clearly wrong

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Add options in chat to be able to right click a players name and invite to party/guild, ignore, whisper

2. Allow more UI customization flexibility, for example give an option to remove the health/mana/stamina text on the bars themselves.

3. Stop labeling people as "exploiters" in an alpha in which players are supposed to try and break your game to help you make a better game. Also, if you have a system that is clearly not broken by design, and you call players "exploiters" for trying to min/max such systems, you are in the wrong. Instead take the feedback and fix the systems in THE ALPHA. It is an ALPHA. Alphas help you understand the impact of your systems, learn, and fix/improve them. If you instead call people exploiters for showing you the flaws of your system, then you need to do some introspection.
   You are discouraging min/maxers from finding the flaws in your systems. If that's what you want, such flaws will exist in your full game release, and that's where the real problem begins. If you listen to the loud, casual players who dont know what they want, just like Blizzard did. You will destroy the game. Take advantage of your min/maxers and learn from your flawed systems

[agile ravine]

1. Repeat CC's by high levels over low levels to restrict harvest node access... either give players an immunity cooldown after the first one, employ a 5 level limitation so they have a hope to flag back and defend themselves, or disable it and if they want to kill me for it and take corruption they can, but I can announce who is corrupt, where they are, and what they are wearing in global, so they get my stuff... but someone else might get theirs

[faint loom]

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:
1 - Storage Bug is out of control. Constantly having to log in/out to fix display or jumping on/off of mount.
2 - Caravan bugs - Everything from being stuck in deployed state and unable to purchase new one... to falling through the map.. and teleporting. Very unstable in this build.
3 - Rarity Level drops with both Hunting and Lumberjacking
4 - Not being able to search by "Item" on Marketplace.
5 - Treasure Maps - broken... quest is not completing properly causing everyone to become bugged if they do not abandon the quest.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:
1 - Pairing of resources for donations with the requisition agent. The pairing of resources makes donations overly complicated. Most players that have copper are not going to have fish. Zinc gathers are not going to have Ash Planks. This should be listed like it is with the Construction Manager. The Construction Manager donations are very straight-forward and make perfect sense to all players. There is no guessing game on how much more is needed as there is in with the Requisition Agent. Please consider using the same format as the Construction Manager for the Requisition Agent.

[lucid tulip]

1. Mob training
2. Tanks very underwhelming.
3. Invisible weapons / shields. (Overall visual glitches)
4. Targeting system seems a bit everywhere, hard to aim at specific things. And not start hitting other thing.
5. Auto loot won rolls. I've lost too many things to not re-looting after winning a roll.

Feedback:

1. Feels great it's fun and engaging with what content is out.
   2.combat feels good even on subpar classes.
2. Love the lack of fast travel makes the game feel more alive seeing people on your travels rather then seeing loading screens.

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Hunting Rarity
2. Leather working Quality broken (shirts / pants both have high quality rating and add no additional bonus to craft. 0 bonus)
3. When processing a stack of 100 of something, it will take all of that resource in your material inventory even if you have more than 100 at that moment. Same with 250.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Please bring us artisan skill trees.
2. Please fix freeholds and bring about more functionality
3. Please give us meaningful choice in character class skills. Right now we basically take everything and there’s no meaningful choice (at least in cleric). Having more skills/spells than we can have is huge for player agency.

Thanks! You guys rock! Loving the game so far.

[lapis saffron]

Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Treasure Maps - For many, maps just straight up didn't work for folks and they couldn't see the circles on the map to go to. Me personally, I would have about 20% of the chests bug out when i excavate and the chest goes through the animation of rising out of the ground. It would raise, flicker and reset, putting me in an endless animation loop and unable to loot. I also think treasure maps desperately need to be fixed so that players can more easily find copper/zinc

2. Mage losing elemental empowerment when traveling long distances or multiple serv workers. Would need to relog after getting to a destination so that spells would change my basic attack element regularly (which is necessary to maximize combos).

3. Inventory desnync

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Questing - after level 10, its easier to just kill wolves/bears to powerlevel rather than quest or do POIs

2. Drops in raids are far more plentiful than what crafters can pump out.

3. change crafting amounts from 1-5-10-25-50 to just a slider pls

Alpha Two Phase II feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. I'm not sure if this is wanted but in my eyes it's a bug. You can vote in several nodes depending on when the election starts. Node 1 was super fast up all are in have chosen and then everyone is out of the node and have been able to vote again in Node 2 which came a few hours delayed.

2. Hunting Rarity - basically unable to use anything relating to carcasses (bones, animal fat, hide) because the rarity does not work for the hunting placeholder system

3. Teleport to Carphin while sitting in Caravan

4. Indefinetely active Caravan events (so you get killed 6-10hours after attacking the caravan because the owner of the caravan crashed/alt f4'd and didn't pick up his request beacon)

5. There is no longer any difference between Sanddesert node Commoditys and Riverland Commoditys, so I mean there is no increase in the value of the respective Commodities in the other regions.
   Tropics > Halcyon is more profit than Winstead > Sunhaven still if you need pay 50% tax in tropics and only 9% in Winstead.

[lament perch]

Top 3 Bugs

1. Looting aka not being able to pick up glint until a reset is done.
2. Mobs - aggro and also attack ranges not sure why grems sometimes have the same range as a longbow.
3. Caravans - sometimes you can't join the event at all and other times you can't get rid of the event

Feedback topics

1. I think each region needs 2 servers, 1 for proper testing and one for people who want to play at a normal profession. I would like to be able to replicate the bugs so I can provide accurate reports but not if it'll take me 4 hours of grinding to do so
2. Guilds that actively abuse bugs in an alpha setting have no place in the game ban them early.

[scarlet sable]

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Aggro mechanics / griefing
2. Caravans
3. Map bugs
4. Constant inventory bugs (can't loot glint, can't right click from materials to bank stash)
5. Not getting UI updates for status effects (i.e., not seeing FROZEN or STAGGERED, etc when fighting mobs).

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Not enough to test from Phase 1 to Phase 2 (same levelling routes, less mobs, more players)
2. Not enough to do in desert to justify its "expansion"
3. A lot of people like "agro Steven" (referring to the last 48 hours of him going on streams, talking shit against Narc, etc.), but I think it's a terrible look for a CEO (who gives af about a 60k sub andy like Narc???). It's one thing to defend your workers, but just give us better communications. That was the major failing of the start of the Dec 20th--y'all condensed all the servers, gave us the "gift" of 24/7 access with zero support. All my friends who I talked into joining up due to the success of the Wave 1 were VERY perturbed by their first experience of the game filled with racist/bigoted rants happening in global chat, the constant griefing with aggro mechanics. And then I had to contend with the fact that there was very little new items to actually test at the start of Wave 2. I wish Steven could have been more honest about what the start of phase 2 would actually be like.

[harsh nimbus]

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Server issues - From rubber banding and disconnecting repeatedly to losing caravans due to server worker crashing to inventory/storage lag issues
2. Mob leashing/Griefing + Mobs getting stuck after being leashed far enough
3. Other caravan bugs causing players to be stuck permanently as defenders/attackers until server reset
4. There seems to be an issue where gear/set pieces STOP DROPPING completely until a party/raid is reformed after a certain amount of time being active

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Wiping the entirety of Vyra due to a few bad actors is a terrible move. Deal with these actors appropriately regardless of money invested/previous relationships.
2. Communication is plentiful - But doesn't seem to hit the topics players are most concerned about. I am always happy to hear and see about future assets and aspirations, but would also like to see more focus on present projects and updates that are in the more near future.
3. When we were teleported to the desert during the server testing days to test pvp prior to phase 2, the servers never felt better. I am extremely excited to see server meshing and hope testing is going well for this feature.

Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Client instability where Loot interactions occur. I hear about a lot of things, and what affects me every few hours is a desync sort of issue between client and server. Fully closing the client and the launcher resolves issues relating to objects in my storage and inventory.
2. If people are cheating the "red lines" with caravans, please correct this and even the playfield for this portion of the game.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Improve the user interface for the markets. Give us a search that works at the item level or create a automatically categorized search tool ; hide blank stores ; give us BUY ORDERS.

2. Rework hunting. It took me days to get to level 10, and 2 hours... 38 minutes to get to level 20.

3. Create some variance in mob respawn timers, esp. dungeon bosses.

4. Give us options to make the interface clearer to interact with - e.g. lower the visual impact of magic effects; improve trackability of the cursor when playing in a typical 8-man setting. Consider a party-visualization for threat indicators. I would like to see when an AOE is pulling added mobs as a tank.

5. Please fix Forge loot to have it contribute to x/8 (heavy, other) set bonuses.

6. Improve crafting clothing drop rates - seeing a green metallurgy drop this sunday from a high end mob was a very promising bit of cross over for fighting types to be able to return cool stuff (tm) to our guild's crafters.

7. guild management: Please give us guild quests that improve the roster size of our guilds! Allow guild controls, roles for freeholds. Make guild membership matter!

[quasi junco]

Bugs:

1. Inventory sometimes not accessible or interactable after traversing server workers
2. Resources that can't be reached (spawns in the ground, inside rocks, etc)
3. Caravans unstable in numerous ways, swapping to raft and back, sometimes can't spawn (wrong node issue), the list is too long

Feedback:

1. Exploiting needs to be handled quickly and more publicly. The effects of exploits can be far reaching and hard to undo if left unattended. Additionally, without showing us that things are being done to address this issue, many I've spoken to lose faith in the direction of the game.
2. Artisan gear rarity is not impactful. Perhaps the legendary stat changes from P1 were too aggressive when it comes to how artisan gear functions?
3. Gathering nodes. The number of nodes available to harvest become fewer and fewer as we harvest them and they end up replaced with journeyman ones. Perhaps there is room for a gathering node decay system so that journeyman nodes don't clog up the works while no one on the server has the ability to harvest them yet.

Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Archetype abilities malfunctioning (ranger's "weapon mastery: Bow" and Tanks "Courage" occasionally cease to function)
2. Caravan bugs (warping, getting stuck on terrain)
3. Rarity issues when gathering wood/hunting (it's so painful to get legendary wood/skins), compared to mining.
4. Inventory issues, dragging items from storage to inventory and vice versa, items not showing up
5. Treasure map bugs, such as not being able to use them, excavation kits being used up but not getting the resources, etc..

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Leashing of mobs needs to be party specific (prevent easy training)
2. Stats need a less hidden breakdown (what does it mean for a caravan's general speed rating to be 10 points higher?)
3. Crafting should be a required component to get BIS gear. Dungeons should potentially drop materials used for BIS gear, as well as decent gear.
4. Crafting should, in some cases, allow for substitution in exchange for different stats. Such as using Oak instead of western larch for bows to get more attack speed rating, instead of power.
5. Marketplaces need to have "buy" and "trade" options. Such as trading tin ore for tin ingots, or vice versa.

[rare lance]

Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Caravans constantly bugging;
2. Mob training;
3. Boss exploiting and bugging and inconsistent respawn timers (respawning on server restarts, etc);
4. Gatherable nodes oftenly bugged inside or above terrain;
5. Freehold crops wielding the wrong materials (Weeping Willow granting Oak, etc).

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Corruption system and PvP - The game does not feel like a PvX game, as PvP feels like it's greatly discouraged due to the unbalanced Corruption System, whereas griefing, mob training and constantly CCing healers till the opposing party wipes, or simply fighting for mob tags and only PvEing, are more effective strategies. The game feels like a PvE game with Griefing.
2. Storage system not being fully implemented makes it feel really awful to gather a lot of materials,
3. Keep working on server stability, as I'm sure you are. The progress from early P1 until now is insane, and I have great hopes for this and expect many great things from the team.
4. Camera max zoom out is too close, the distance it is during caravans is perfect.
5. Node Wars should have a preparation time, same as Node Sieges are supposed to have.
6. Betterment of the raid manager. Swapping player spots inside the group without having to move members between groups, as well as creating groups inside of the raid without needing a minimum amount of players
7. Also PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE increase guild limit. 50 is too little. I understand that the system is not complete, but round it up, not down. it's a logistics nightmare and it makes wars incredibly annoying and possibly skewing (one guild opens war only against the "weaker" guild)

======================

[rough cedar]

-General mob stuff. Ie pathing, targeting , etc.
-treasure map bugs that make characters unable to do treasure maps again.
-caravan stuff.

[median crystal]

Bugs:

1. Keep action mode from breaking after opening the map (where you can't move your camera at all and it freezes up, which happens about 75% of the time and can only be fixed with a relog)

2. Allow need/greed to work in action mode, because the mouse often won't even come up when toggling between the modes. A button press to do it would suffice

3. Keep items from completely vanishing forever from cargo, even if you never even put it on a caravan

4. Rubberbanding & crashing allllll the time

Feedback:

1. Allow wider range of xp for players grinding together

2. More ways to level up solo with quests if fighting mobs isn't your #1 priority in MMOs

3. Stop letting bully players train mobs into others 😦

1. With low game processing power, I noticed that the interaction button stops working, asking to relog.
2. World boss appearing outside of normal times, normal locations and bugging phases to the point of not being able to test them normally.
3. Masterloot bugged

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:
1.
578 / 5.000
The game's PVP is not pleasant, the experience of being vulnerable at all times and being able to play with other players seems very penalizing.
2. When we relog due to a crash, the caravan button appears to click "Recover". I managed to complete the entire route I wanted and both times this happened, the game did not identify that I had arrived in the city with my caravan and my resources went to Limbo. It's annoying that the event does not give the proper reward and not knowing if spending 2 hours making a caravan will cause a bug and I will not be able to deliver.
3.The Market urgently needs filters.

[royal plover]

top bugs for me are:

1 - bag bugs. when you loot an item m and dont get any feedback from the chat box or on screen.. you look in ur bags and theres nothing. close and reopen and it may display or not after a little while.

2 - player trading. sometimes u lose items you trade to friends. We lost 3 stacks of carcases this way. Just gone.

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Party members not being visible on the map at all zoom levels.
2. Courage is often bugged on the Tank Archetype where it just stops generating and remains at zero. Logout/login currently is the only fix.
3. Inventory getting bugged out so items that are sold or moved out don't disappear. Relogging is the only fix for this currently.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Metalworking is currently extremely bottlenecked by copper, resulting in difficulty getting to and exploring downstream artisan skills.
2. So many people are abusing resource respawn locations, just afking at a spot and running a script that auto-mines the resource as it respawns. General AFK abuse is rampant.
3. Player base is incredibly toxic at times and there isn't a great/well known way to report issues.
4. Mobs are too easily trained onto others, resulting in easy griefing and a sure fire way to push someone out of a grind spot without having to actually contest the spot via expected mechanics.
5. There should be smaller/faster caravans for small groups or solo players and larger/slower caravans for larger groups.

3. Graphical glitching of characters, mainly causing armor to flash rapidly. I do not suffer from epilepsy fortunately, but this could be a considerable problem.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Resources above the servers current max should be limited on spawns (I.E. Iron should not spawn until a Journeyman mining station is available somewhere on the realm.)
2. Healers should not be able to heal people attacking caravans, without having to attack the caravan themselves.

2. Mobs not properly keeping threat or randomly switching threat to the next available person while chasing somone or getting pulled

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Scarcity of Resources and a lack of area specialization/richness in them for rocks and metal nodes
2. Tank Feels way to weak against magical attacks, and has very few mitigation spells despite being a sole tank
3. No seperate chat systems for LFG, Trade, and General
4. The combined issue of lack of resources, vendors selling great tier 1 and 2 items makes creating low level gear and items just a money sink, and the fact that you dont get more XP for how many resources you use and how rare the mats are makes it a slog to get through.

[dense viper]

Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Not getting Experience after a kill, this seems to happen when there is a surge of warfare happening.
2. Caravans getting glitched out, and sometimes making them invulnerable, or getting disconnected which then in turn makes them unable to return or bug them out entirely.
3. fixed drops in party, so that everyone has a chance to roll for it.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. CRAFTING- As it stands anything to do with mining/forging/smithing is eggregious. First there is not enough ore to go around and actually level this up past novice. Then ore nodes respawn as journeyman, which has a high chance of soft-locking regions from being able to gather the lower levels ores. Then to even craft something with the ALREADY SCARCE ORE, It takes like 10+ pieces of ore to make one thing with it. Crafting is supposed to be the crutch that players rely on to stay compettitive, but we currently cannot effectively test that system.
2. MOB DAMAGE TUNING- As certain classes, you must be in a group in order to kill any type of mobs at lower levels, while mobs can hit you for 1/4 or MORE of your health. This means you fight one monster, hope you don't catch the aggro of another monster, kill it, then rest and wait for your resources to replenish. This turns the game into a mega grind, that unfortunately will be a major detriment to the casual players. Mobs hit too hard for what little reward they give.
3. XP DISPARITY- XP as it is earned in a party currently, is broken down by the levels of the players, this does NOT equate to the weight they pulled in the fight. You can have a level 12 mage burning mana like crazy with good gear, and a level 15 tank with garbage gear, getting pocketed by the cleric (thats what they are meant to do) but all they do is pop an ability every once in awhile. This means that the lvl 15 will get more experience than the one who actually killed the monster, and that makes leveling a pain. This is a tricky system to balance effectively. But as it stands it is hard to like.
   ======================

[steel geyser]

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Multiple issues when crossing server boundaries seem to be causing major incoveniences for people that set them back significant time and cause stress. From caravans disappearing to teleportation of players.
2. The ability to train mobs onto other groups has provided an outlet for toxic gameplay for some people.
   3.Memory leak that will slowly cause significant performance drop after an hour or two is probably difficult to identify and address but would allow me to no life the alpha even more than i already do 🙂
   ======================

[unborn hollow]

1. Weapon skill trees still active when not equipped.

2. Caravans: a lot of bugs/issue that make running caravans frustrating.

3. Mobs: not spawning, getting stuck. Including but not limited to quest mobs.

4. Exploiters/griefers should be dealt with harshly.

5. Character customization/equipment customization.

[crisp badge]

-no guild bank / want to trade between characters (causing a lot of stress with my casual guild) it'd be nice to drop things off in a safety box for your friends to grab when they get to the same town. Or get online later.

Not being able to see party members without zooming in, I have some directionally impared casual teammates.

Mining nodes getting stuck as high teir nodes leaving the best time to mine directly after server resets.

Players saying they need an invite to the party but are still in the party probably spent an hour of my 200 hours reforming groups

Worst of all inventory bugs.

I write this as a guy who bought 3 friends the game and lent my laptop to a 4th. They are all casuals and we play weekly. These are the things that I hear the most disappointment in my team's voices.

3. Rubberbanding and server issues(Could be because of the increased population but there have been increased instances of rubberbanding and DCs in this phase compared to P1)

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. If players can get even a preview/highlights of some of the features being added in the next patch would help us plan things out. For example, do we get freeholds in the desert? or are the nodes going to be reset before the vassaling system is introduced. Things like that.

2. Visible/auditory issues like the illumination bug in the Forge dungeon that tend to adversely affect players' eyes(anything that can potentially cause any sort of bodily harm) should be fixed as soon as possible for mitigating potential risks to everyone.

PVP events such as caravans, if a caravan is being attacked and the player ALT F4s. sometimes it will de-spawn after a period of time locking defenders and attackers into infinite PVP until a server reset occurs, additionally, the drivers death may result in a 60 second PVP immunity for the caravan, this occurred during a node war.

3. PVP events exploit:
   Players not participating as defender or attacker but still being able to HEAL caravans or attackers without consequence.

4. Trade Bug

occasionally trading items when a server worker is stressed or too many materials at a time may result in DELETION of items, this occurred to me when a friend tried to trade me 300 droppings.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Love you all and thank you for making this awesome game

2. Family system implemented

With Freeholds being tested i think this system needs to come online ASAP. me and a few friends ensured we got one asap but cannot explore the system till this is online.

3. guild permissions
   I would love to see this system come online, being able to delegate permissions and allowing for officers of the guilds to be able to declare war is very important, the burden on a GM is high when he must be online to do such activities.

Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:
1 - inventory issue (have to get on / off mount or else log every time to fix)
2 - mob pathing / aggro/ leashing - pretty sure Steven said this was already in process, but if not, would be real cool if people had to actually PVP you to wipe you and loot you instead of just training mobs to do it for them corruption free.
3 - treasure map bugs - (either can't use treasure maps period because quest bugged and doesn't show to be cancelled so can never use another one, or the loot cache bugs and blinks in/out of existence then you have to wait for a reset before you can do more)
4 - Caravans - if server goes down/ restarts while caravan is 'launched' then it cannot be attacked or defended without someone alt-F'ing
5 - Gathering - *most noticeable during the first few days after the launch when there were no apprentice stations anywhere - once T1 nodes/ gatherables have been gathered, the nodes get locked by T2 and T3 gatherables, which greatly reduce the number of gatherables available at the exact time that the largest portion of the population will be looking for them.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:
1 - dupers/ exploiters of items - having this 'in the wild' means you can only use items you have gathered / processed yourself or from someone you trust. Can't buy from marketboards even cause it could be an exploited item.
2 - people exploiting to max out xp - either by glitching thru a wall or standing on something to animation lock the mob and prevent it from causing any damage while it can be attacked freely.
3 - please, please, please can there be a separate chat tab for all the recruitment spam (and would be awesome if the chat type filters actually worked / persisted (ie edit the chat option, "Guild" for example, click box to add party chat, but it never works)
4 - overall great job on this, thanks for letting us see behind the curtain and how it's done.

People abusing alt-f4 to save caravan from attack. Caravans dissappearing/falling through map, Broken Caravan crates falling through map when killed in water sometimes.
2. EU Restart time, This is tied to boss respawns and 1-3am (depending on location) is extremely annoying and as it's a very fast restart this should be scheduled for 10pm or 9pm etc

2. Abuse and exploiting of the war system
3. Abuse and exploiting of the caravan system
4. Fixing the rarity quality ratings on artisan tools
5. A proper /report feature

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. If resource rotation is gated behind tiers of materials you have to ensure that if those spawns are taken by T3 mats that somehow we can replinish T2 mats. Especially if spawns of T2 materials are continually bugging out.
2. I mean to be honest if you're on a certain server that has several several big exploiting guilds, getting war decked every day or hour really doesn't incentivize being in a guild unless you want to PvP only. That system is continually being exploited all day every day and punishing people just trying to play and enjoy the game in a guild with friends. (totally understand PvPing and like to do it, but not have it rammed down my throat and feel unsafe in a guild).
3. Pretty much the same thing as point 2, but this needs to be fixed overall. Either a driver should be able to targetted or they should not and it just needs to exist one way. But going from phase I to now where you can just AoE down a driver feels really bad. So does all the exploits of people making their caravan invincible, or deploying inside of town and getting people to click attack then having free reign to murder them.
4. We literally have someone on our crafting team out there with over 200 lumberjack rarity rating and he cannot hit any high tier wood except every once in a blue moon. Literally someone with a crude axe and pickaxe about 40 minutes apart hit 10 legendary larch and 5 legendary copper. The entire rarity rating system on artisan tools seems completely broken across many tools.
5. There have been numerous times that I've had to use /bug to report someone, which is fine but copying that system over and giving in an extra field for a player name to report would be incredible.

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Treasure maps bug- Can use map and kit but unable to loot chest
2. Inventory issues- Unable to loot items, losing items when moving between inventory/storage or person/person
3. Gatherables- show up but are fully ungatherable, can attempt multiple times in a row with zero loot and graphic still showing (especially NW of Carphin)

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Wars should not be forced onto all citizens of a node, there should be a sign up to accept the PVP flag
2. Do not allow people to kill others that are not flagged, we have had level 20+ players kill us for gatherables when we are not flagged nor had we looted anyones body. Allowing this breeds negativity
3. Crafting is too complicated; For example: remove set stacks when processing allow instead to do whatever quantity of items being held, reduce the need for lower tier items to craft higher
4. Mob chase distance is nuts, and allows so much griefing. It should be reduced and not allow snaps to other players unless in party.
5. Implement a LFG chat so global can be cleared for questions and other uses.

2. Questing is completely irrelevant pass lv 3. Make great quest chains with awesome rewards.

2. Mob Aggro - Current aggro system allows players to grief others by kiting mobs into them and "aggro dumping."
3. Inventory Bugs - Inventory eating items / becoming unresponsive until relogging (affects personal and storage).
4. Shrine Res Protection - Currently, the resurrection protection doesn’t always work on shrines, allowing players to be spawn-camped with no recourse.
5. Anti-Heal Debuff Deaths / Corruption Bug - The current no-healing debuff is actually a negative heal debuff. If you heal a player with the debuff, they take damage. If you heal a player with the debuff out of party, you get corruption when they die.

2. Treasure map chests & looting mobs will sometimes be impossible. the gatherable flickers and the pickup animation loops leading to lost loot.
3. Gathering rarity increase doesn't affect nodes as intended. Nodes have a set rarity and can be harvested multiple times upon respawn.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Raptors and other necessary resources for artisan leveling need to be more plentiful and spread out to limit gatekeeping by stronger players & guilds.
2. Gear grinding needs to be less efficient compared to obtaining crafted gear. Crafted items are languishing in the marketplace leading the economy to suffer while players grind gear from named mobs or buy named gear from the marketplace instead of crafted gear.
3. to make crafted gear more desirable, recipes need to be rebalanced to require fewer materials in total and gear quality needs to be less reliant on quality materials 1 legendary material should be weighted heavier compared to lesser quality materials and a legendary item shouldn't require all legendary materials. UNLESS high quality materials are easier to obtain through a Gatherer's level & Rarity Increase rating. Adjust the code to allow gear quality to be affected by the crafter's level and skill in addition to material quality.
4. Hunting & Animal Husbandry shouldn't be an exercise in Gatcha style RNG. Allow players to have agency over what they Hunt (animals or carcass) and what Tamers make (Mount v BoB)

1. Solo leveling experience, please make quests or commissions more rewarding. I really want to test out later game content but I just can't commit to joining groups all the time. Sometimes I have 30 minutes or an hour to login and play a bit and often it feels like I get nothing done during that time.
2. Potions. Or easier access to more healing when out solo. I would love to just spend my money on pots to sustain me during solo leveling, instead of having to sit down all the time. I know there are salves right now but the cooldown is too long on those. I want to be able to spend my coins if I choose on healing items so I can be out solo more.
3. Rogue. Please shift people away from other less important teams, like maybe the caravan system or something and let's get all hands on deck so that the rogue can be released for testing soon. This is my main archetype in any MMO and right now I feel like an imposter playing a ranger.

4. Personal one, my xp debt is negative anytime I log in so the first thing I have to do every time is just die to mobs

5. Resource specific node storage tabs don't offer anything of value. They have less space and don't allow those resources to stack any higher than the general storage tabs.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Gathering rarity stat is useless. Even if you managed to get 10 million somehow, your odds of getting higher rare materials stays the same. Same with the processing rarity.

2. Allow us to downgrade material for processing purposes. I don't care if I lose out on 23 uncommon materials if it means I can queue up a 250 stack. Being so close to max but like 4-5 off is so infuriating.

3. Weeping Willow is used in FAR too much. Needing those for every t2 process as well as many t2 recipes is far too much. There's no real reason a slate mold needs so much to make when the t1 molds only need the raw rock to make. The slate molds are far too hard for any one person to make with the amount of support professions needed to make them.

4. Let us craft or process from storage materials. It's far too tedious to run back every time in case we missed one material. Picking up zinc fragments when you meant to grab tin fragments happens far too often, and it wouldn't if I didn't even need to go grab it.

5. Please let us process in whatever batch size we want. 25 being a process size when the output won't even be in stacks higher than 20 is criminal.

4. Nothing legendary should drop for gathering early. The best way to solve progression in the artisan system is to make each rarity unlock the next. This is not too painful as everyone can still gather the mats, and puts a huge premium on GM gathererers who are the only ones capable of unlocking legendary quality mats, from copper to black diamonds.
5. I really, really hope there is more choice/identity in class variety that is unlocked from the secondaries. I understand that the core class is supposed to inform the core archetype, and the secondary give it style, but please go to the effort off allowing the secondaries to embody a truly unique identity. If each subclass has just 1 unique mechanic, something that could play on the primary in a SKILL EXPRESSIVE manner, that would be truly glorious.
6. The last missing piece to me is the mob behavior. I hope you experiment with very advanced AI behavior. Right now, core systems and functions - I get it. But if you can unlock truly unique behavior - and unique mob behavior where different zones / NPCs exhibit very different macro behavior. You can then turn each area into more of a puzzle to figure out the pattern of behavior.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:
1.* Exploiters* (not the guy that tried it, or accidently did it) the guilds that are constantly exploiting need to be banned. we know they are friends with steven, but if its alpha and hes going to let this happen, its encouraging this behavior.
2. Debuffs vs buffs on your UI, please let me tell EASILY whats a debuff or buff. let me MOVE my debuffs and buffs where i want to so i can tell whats what.
3. corruption killing a single person should not make you go corrupt, the system is currently too punishing, or level 1 corruption should not lead to item loss.
4. 3 sets of gear are only dropping in a single tiny room, griefing is against the rules, and the devs are 100% griefing us with this XD
5. Class balance doesnt seem great in large scale pvp, currently there's NO reason for your whole guild to not be bards / mages / clerics. Mages and bards are the worst offenders, being FAR TOO POWERFUL in large scale pvp. bards are not only IMBA in large scale, but IMBA in 1v1 scenarios as well. bards are, with no doubt in anyones mind, the most insanely overpowered class in the game.

2. Treasure maps bugging after completing a treasure map quest and then not being able to use a new map.
3. Willow not being harvestable or spawning inside of a terrain feature, along with other harvest mats, but mostly willow.
4. Movement speed getting bugged to under 100% and as low as 30% after using skills in succession as a bard.
   Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:
5. Node development being solely controlled by mayors has caused very frustrating setbacks from poor decisions. Getting bottlenecked at apprentice level due to all nodes making duplicate buildings is discouraging.
   2.Some NPC projectile attacks not being able to be dodged, E.G. fireballs from Firestarter or rocks from goblins.
6. The aggro from all NPC's. Allowing people to train mobs that they run through and run by someone who has not generated threat from that mob that then turns on them is awful.

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:
1: Inventory bug: Sometimes I would not be able to interact with my inventory unless I either logged out or hopped on my mount.
2: Loot bug: There were times I could not loot a defeated mob without either logging out or mounting.
3: Random memory leaks: Just about every play session there would be a time when the game would lock up and I would have to close it out manually from the task manager. The game would be using 50+GB of memory and just bogging the system down. It was never at a specific time or place, just randomly. Sorry I cannot reproduce it easily for you.
4: Resource nodes being present, but not interactable: Some nodes would show up on the map, but not have an action when attempting to harvest.
5: Treasure maps busted: Regardless of rarity the maps have not worked correctly for me.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:
1: Exploiters: I have watched and reported people constant war deccing for exp and resources, exploiting mobs for easy exp grind so that they are lvl 25 in less than 72 hours. I have watched them trick people into going corrupt so they could farm the unsuspecting of their gear. I have seen people use the red wall to get caravans across safely. I have seen people alt f4 caravans. I have seen people attempting to money launder.
2: Griefers: I have watched people intentionally train mobs on groups as a way to kill groups to farm groups without engaging in PVP.
3: Crafting seems to be in a weird place. My guildy and I made some ashen haunt gear. It takes multiple disciplines at apprentice as well as a multitude of common gear to make blue gear. However, the time spent getting the mats for the ashen haunt as well as the cost to produce is not as good as just buying the gear from other players or farming it. Furthermore, while it is awesome to make blue gear from common mats, the time sink does not compare to the output.
4: Processing not a net gain: Certain processing trades seem to have a better net gain than others. Is there a way for other processing disciplines to have multiple outputs than just one? It makes the bottleneck of artisanry more constrained if limited resources have limited results in some fields and not others.
5: Longbow Range: Have to throw it in here, love you guys, just miss long bows with longbow range. ❤️

Finally, love what you are all doing. Love the game. I do not have the time that I used to, but the free time I have I love digging into this game. I love testing it. I love learning the intent and design philosophy. The start of this phase has been marred for me by the actions of a small few who have taken this test phase and just tried to exploit it to bully others. It is one thing to see an error, prove it, report it, and move on; it is another to continuously exploit a system to the detriment of others for your own gain when none of this is going to be around when the game goes live and the net result is just pushing people away. What is worse, is the group that is engaging in the horrible behavior seem to feel like they are going to get away with it.

I look forward to continouing to test this amazing game. Vera is a great home to wander about it.

Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

I haven't played much but this was the majority of my problems while leveling till 14 and an other character to 12

Top Feedback:

1. Mobs are in aggro for too long, sometimes following me for a whole minute, teleporting behind me, stuning me from a huge distance away killing me in the process
   Also i was ran through by mobs a lot by other players, once looted by said player right after because the mobs didnt care about them anymore
2. Common resources are too hard to get for early levels. Why should I go craft gear for my level if I could spend that time grinding mobs for drops and xp which benefits me 10x more
3. Not enough information given on general features (I'm pretty sure this was already mentioned in previous streams and QnAs though)
4. Healing/mana salves or potions are hard to get and because of that they are super expensive on market costing almost the same as a mount per item. This makes solo play super hard for some classes.

Top Bugs:

1. Inventory bugging out, not letting me place things in storage or can't move stuff in inventory
2. Some mobs who use movement abilities bug out and slide around me for like 5-10 seconds
3. Quests not giving rewards after claiming them, then they appear in my material inventory after i relog or after a certain amount of time
   ======================

[brisk birch]

1. Caravan glitching and disappearing, causing loss of commodities and the entire caravan itself.
2. Caravan pvp requiring parties to drop group, click to defend or attack, then having to reform party.
3. Caravan defenders and attackers being able to be healed by clerics that aren't flagged up for either defense or attacker.
4. MOB TRAINING!!! Mobs are dropping aggro from griefers who pull the mobs and then start attacking the nearest players that haven't healed or attacked to cause aggro generation. Players are egregiously using this as a tool to contest grinding spots without having to flag up or legitimately contest mobs through damaging them down.
5. Treasure maps are a mess and completely bricking people's ability to do them until they are fixed. There's a whole string of steps to prevent this from happening and it's too good of a game loop to be getting locked out from completing due to multiple bugs involved.

[tribal merlin]

Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Treasure maps not working in many ways. First, sometimes characters are simply unable to start a map at all. Second, sometimes the treasure mounds appear inside or under other objects and cannot be found. Third, frequently the game tells you excavation kits not found and you have to move them in your inventory and then relog in order to continue. Fourth, sometimes the chests start to flash and your character kneels and stands repeatedly, and the treasure chest cannot be looted. Fifth, sometimes only part of the treasure chest can be looted.

2. When attacking or defending caravans in a group, only the group leader gets the choice of attack or defend, and his choice does not apply to the members of the group. So everyone has to disband and make the choice for the event(s), then try to reform whilst in PvP.

3. Inventory bugs. So many inventory bugs. You sometimes can't loot glint (green or white, never blue) off corpses. You sometimes move items into storage and a ghost copy stays in inventory, or the item moves but doesn't display in either the storage or the inventory until a relog happens. Sometimes when harvesting a resource you get XP for doing so but no notification of what you harvested until you relog. If you do two in a row like that without relogging only the first resource harvested appears - the rest are lost. Moving objects between bags in inventory sometimes displays the same problems - either a ghost is left behind or more commonly, the item doesn't appear in the new location.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Do something about the exploiters. So many 'big' guilds got to 25 by exploiting war declarations or taking advantage of stuck mobs. They got lots of gear and lots of gold and bought freeholds and used their ill-gotten levels to crush lower level folks in caravan pvp, etc. They spread their ill-gotten gains to other members of their guilds, and the whole economy is off-kilter as a result. Yes it's an alpha, but they're skewing your data.
2. The overcrowding is awful. Every grind spot is filled with groups training monsters onto other groups, or the exploiter guild groups using their higher-level and better-geared characters to take over the gear grinding spots they want. Resources are ridiculously hard to come by, and the whole game feels crowded. Your servers might be able to handle the load (not very well, given the lag and technical issues like rubber banding and ridiculously low draw-distance on mobs, caravans, and players), but the world design certainly cannot. It's a shitshow.
3. Running caravans is high-risk, high-reward. Attacking caravans is no-risk, high reward. There's a serious imbalance there. You need to fix that somehow.

1. Caravans crossing server boundaries. All kinds of glitches, had one where it just deleted itself and could not be found to be recovered.

2. When you let a caravan recover expire it deleted all my caravans everywhere

3. Mob leashing is either super short or super long. I've had some mobs that won't follow if you move more than a couple yards, and one time where a skeleton followed me for 20 minutes, and during that 20 minutes I died and it followed me beyond death.

4. There's a bug where when mobs return to their original position after leashing, they get stuck on an object and are free pickings.

5. Some mobs are easy to kill because there is an obstacle (like a fence) that you can navigate around and take no damage from them while working then down.

Top 3-5 most important feedback topics

1. A lot of boss mobs needed for quests need either faster spawn time or some kind of special contribution system for quests. Currently there tends to be quite a few people just waiting around to kill the boss for the luck they get kill credit for the quest. My suggestion is a special kill credit that's lower, that only counts for quests.

2. Targeting is weird for healers. I go solo a lot and when someone just runs by the game likes to target their full health over my critically low health. I have defensive targeting on but I accidentally clear it a lot.

3. Too many buffs hidden. I've had over 50 buffs before, all for node stuff. I can't see actually relevant buffs for fights. Relegate those node buffs to a tab in the character menu. I don't care to see them all the time.

4. A way to report players for exploiting some of these. I see people doing the above mentioned fence dance but idk if any way to report them through proper channels. If there is a proper channel idk about it.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. tutorial needed - not all systems, keybinds, et al., were intuitive and it required a lot of googling for me to figure out how to do a lot of things in the game such as processing materials, summoning my horse, fishing, and sprinting. It would be nice if things like these were taught to the player in the beginning (skippable for those who want to skip it and go blindly).
2. corruption system needs to be recalibrated - noncombatants getting mobs trained on them or flat out being assassinated by hostile players - Both parties should to consent to PVP in order for PVP to occur - not a unilateral action by one jerk/group of jerks. I'm just trying to gather and I'm not purple, leave me alone!!

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. It should be far more difficult for mobs to kill you as you run around. I’ve been killed by just a few mobs lower than my level because they killed my mount, and I’m a tank (which means next-to-no soloing potential)
2. Maps are out of date/incorrect. Makes navigating nodes far more difficult.
3. Freeholds are worthless atm. If they need to be reset, give them back to those that bought them before. To farm Willow Wood is nigh impossible due to its scarcity and demand.

2. Lag/server stability- great improvement on lag and DCs but still a lot going on..especially by Steel Bloom.
3. Money disappears or is miscalculated...really it seems that what you are using money for is not what it says the cost is. For instance, vendor says it costs 30 silver to repair gear and you have 35 silver...it says you dont have enough. You buy something from vendor or do crafting and it shows how much it costs but it takes more than what it says. I didnt realize this was happening until I saw a large amount suddenly gone.
4. Fix Cleric Wings of Salvation so it breaks disabling spells as described. This is not working.
5. Fix raid frame colors for when member is within range vs not. You cannot tell with most color schemes.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Guilds should not be able to declare war on another one instantaneously. The guild initiating the war has a huge advantage...they can spend hours to prepare, know when the majority of their people can get online, find the other guild members and be near them when the war declaration goes off. The other guild has no ability to prepare, no ability to bring in their people, etc.
2. exploiting players and guilds - getting so far ahead of the rest and then we are out-leveled, out-geared, and less ability to even build wealth because your caravans are destroyed, you are glint farmed because the higher players are training mobs on you, wait for you to die, then loot your corpse constantly.
3. more quests to get xp, glint and other rewards to break up the redundant grinding.
4. Concerned with what I see already with toxic game play. Lots of trolls already and these are supposed to be alpha testers! It makes me wonder how bad the game will be as far as toxicity

[mystic briar]

======================
Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Movement speed bug. A tank used Grapple on me the exact same moment that I used my mounts Dash ability. This resulted in me being stuck in a state of hyperspeed and appeared that the movement speed from my mount + dash + the movement speed that Grapple pulls a target at all stacked together. As I was also holding my right mouse button and strafing at the same time I was stuck moving in a diagonal. Relogging for 15 seconds seemed to fix the movement speed issue but this seems easy enough to abuse. (See attached video)

2. Hunting rarity. It appears as though the rarity with hunting animals is bugged at the moment. I did several multi hour testing runs with a standard common apprentice hunting bow, and then crafted an epic apprentice hunting bow and there was absolutely no difference, if anything my results saw me acquire less rare carcasses. Have only ever come across 1 heroic carcass since the very beginning of Phase 1/2, and epic/legendary just don't seem to exist.

3. Trade bug. I have come across this bug once. I traded another player 2 rare western larch logs to process into woodchips for me. On my screen it shows 2 logs being removed from my inventory, but on his screen it only showed 1 log being recieved. Both of us logged out, relogged and he did not have a second log in his inventory. This could be a major issue with larger quantities/legendary quality materials. (See pictures provided)

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. A full and proper explanation on where the line of exploit stands. The term exploit gets thrown around an unhealthy amount now for every little thing in the alpha currently and there is no clear description/boundary.

2. Marketplace design and structure. Currently it is a nightmare to search through the marketplace for items and materials I am looking for. I understand this is the bare and basic design for now but a further deep dive and showcase up updates coming to the marketplace system would be great.

3. A look into the crafting system, especially apprentice/journeyman stations with multiple crafts at a time. Having the ability to craft two animals into mounts for example but the timers are consecutive instead of concurrent makes the system almost pointless to have. The only benefit is if I am logging off for the night, I can look forward to two crafts finished at once.

1. Desert Commodities do not have gold values.

2. Hunting Creatures does not yield higher rarity carcasses yet these matts are required to craft higher rarity gear/gathering tools.

3. Treasure Maps do not work.

4. Caravans can be lost forever upon arrival and are unrecoverable. (Happened upon arrival to New Aela)

5. Visual inventory/storage bugs when in a crowded node that require mounting and unmounting to refresh what's in your inventory

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Apprentice Crafting recipes are not worth the effort to craft. (It is easier to level by just continuing to crafting novice gear). Processing has too many bottlenecks (Willow Boards, Raptor Hides, etc...)

2. The POI placement in the Riverlands is not uniform and yields an unfair XP advantage to certain nodes when it comes to node leveling. This means you can expect the same nodes to hit level 3 first due to Highwayman hills or Steelbloom or Carphin.

3. More Adventuring XP gained for gathering/crafting/commissions. Grinding mobs is the only avenue to level currently.

4. Add incentives for players to stay PVP flagged in the world. (Increased XP when flagged, increased drop-rate, etc...) Doesn't need to be a big buff. 5% would be enough for players to choose to stay flagged. Adds more interest & complexity to grinding in popular POIs (See Albion Online's flagging system)

[knotty nacelle]

the exp penalty should be only pvp wise if even that.. dying cause of new players in groups and in dungeons kinda makes the dungeons too annoying and the group selection too specific and people not getting group cause their names are "flagged" and people recognize them. ive seen that happen in my own group, letting people not join cause of stuff like that..

i would hope to reduce or fix the stuff you drop on death, maybe even drop loot in pvp stuff and not pve, and reduce or remove the exp penalty completely.. its just an annoying thing and not any productive or motivating stuff, i get that dying is bad and it should be some sort of punishment but i think punishments should be pvp related and not people just trying to enjoy endlessly farming mobs to lvl up and then have to deal with loosing stuff and exp penalty ontop of that on every death cause you do die alot and thats fine but yeah.. just an honest opinion and take on those mechanics, i fucking love this game but stuff like that makes me burn out alot..

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Make anyone who interacts with another flagged player, also have to flag. Ex: Clerics can heal with flagging.
2. Fix Mob aggro ASAP, to keep people from griefing and training other groups just by running by.
3. Find a fix for there being little to no resource nodes such as Willow or Copper either because of unobtainable resources taking the spot or over farming.
4. Increase loot drops, and either give a chance at higher rarity loot or another way to aquire said gear. It feels bad to not see anything drop, and when it does its a green piece you cant use. Or getting to level 15+ and still be missing an entire armor slot because one has never dropped and you dont have access to the market or the funds to buy a basic white.

1. Inventory bugs relating to moving items around
2. Steven only causes hilarious chaos sometimes; I assume the chaos is intended to be more consistent and this is a bug

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Resource spawning - essentially the issue of low level resources being quickly snapped up while high level ones persist because no one harvests them, until all the nodes are full of high-level resources.
2. The pass parade, where you can lead difficult monsters past another player to get them to attack that player, allowing a sort of pvp-by-proxy without flagging. Related to the mob train issue.
3. Specialty bag sizes - right now the mining bag is better for holding herbs than the herb bag, so this could probably use some work.
4. When auto targeting with Tab, skip pvp players unless you're actively in pvp already, to avoid unintended pvp interactions.

Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Rarities in general, try to get oak/ash/larch/hemlock anything ABOVE uncommon, and compare that with equal amount of willows. its wayyy lopsided. this also would include the fact right now the "weight" given a nodes spawn is HUGE compared to what is given to the gatherers tools/clothes/bags rarity.

2. Rarities in respawning gatherables (somewhat stated above with weight). currently a node stays static for a set period of time, e.g. 24 hours, wouldnt it make more sense to have a resource node "roll" if its a mining resource? turn into 1-3 rank for anything from novice - apprentice - journeyman, then within that bracket it can roll again to see which resource it will spawn next in X hours (4 for copper, 8 for tin, 12 for limestone for examples)

3. Freeholds, most things are not functioning properly. have input a few bug reports already, and im sure others have too. primarily, the only trees that work is Oak and Eastern Hemlock.

4. Caravans... quite a few issues with them bugging out, teleporting people, disappearing, etc.

2. Weapon Skill tree - inconsistency in providing chosen buffs abilities, mainly combo abilities. in p1 you could level many weapon tree and when you switch a weapon, you kept all buffs from previous tree. i think this is fixed, but im pretty sure you can select many different passives in the tree, save, and get all benefits from your tree and not only 1/3.
3. **Skills **- lots of skills have bugs and inconsistency, scatter shot either consumes all chargers when charge, or you being able to shoot many scattered shots (3+ in a row, when server lagging)
4. Guild wars - ability to freely attack in cities, and guards not doing anything

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Corruption System - 200% negative effects, 0 positive, to a degree that even if you want to kill a player you contest with, it's not remotely close to being worth it.
   the fact everyone can attack you, and you can't fight back (they are not flagged) is really bad. if you kill them, your corruption only grows.
2. Free holds on Spawn spots - in P1, I tried to test solo leveling, I found good spots to level solo. in P2 all those free hold blocked 90% of the good spots I had + many other good farming spots. this made everyone go to POI, and everything was fully packed, lagging, and not plesent experience trying to level. EU got triplled in population, and farming spots got cut down in half
3. **Griefing ** - Luring mobs into towns - there are people that lure mobs into town, and it kills many people without them getting corruption
4. **Griefing ** - stunning people and let mobs kill players doesn't get them corrupted
5. Quests - Completely useless, no rewards, no experience. (Quest that take you 5-15min to complete = 3 (1star) mobs at the same level)

• Gatherables respawning at the same rarity at the same spot enabling people to camp the respawn of high rarity materials
• Caravan bugs (disappearing, teleporting, stuck in terrain etc..)
• A very annoying exploit some guilds use where you can be a defender of a caravan but you show up green to the attackers, making you able to attack them, but they can't attack you. Some shameless people are already abusing this
• Do something about the caravan rafts able to cross the south ocean out of the map bounds from Miraleth to New Aela allowing some shameless guilds exploiting this to make free uncontested caravan runs and money printing

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

• Most important feature missing right now is guild storage at nodes it's very hard to do logistics currently needing to store guild mats in individial players storages
• Please make material rarity be determined randomly on gathering and not a fixed rarity campable respawn
• Similarly Do something about the world bosses respawning at server restart, the strongest guild on every server is just getting stronger rallying large numbers to do the world bosses on spawn every time the server resets making themselves even stronger
• Crafting and profession systems are very awkward right now, they would need a better review, especially processing and crafting
• Since corruption is so severe, please make world bosses and deepest parts of POIs pvp zones like the lawless zones, and please stop with the world bosses spawning on server reset. on EU it's 2am CET and people are working during the week, it enables guilds that no life increasingly low contested 3am gear at least once a day

4. Looting bug where things aren't able to be picked up and relogs are needed. This happens frequently
5. Dying to drowing does not make you lose anything from your material bag, easy free teleport exploit

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Need active GMs to check frequent exploiting spots and provide immediate remediation. Exploiting has been rampant, safe spotting mobs, farming broken mobs forever, macroing, spawn camping, war dec abuse (i.e. mayors flying into Nodes to war dec 1 person at their storage or crafting, kill them and fly away with no risk). These problems are spiraling out of control and driving a lot of players to drop the game and won't continue to test until these are better managed. Not addressing this early is enabling people to continue to ramp up their exploiting until they get stopped. A common phrase I've heard in this game now is "exploit early, exploit often". Hopefully that phrase can die in this game.

2. Gatherable spawns for Mining/Lumberjacking/Herbalism should not be static. They are currently static for set periods of time and then change. This makes them able to be timed and farmed repeatedly by people who know this information. ALL gatherables should be rolling on a rarity table every time they are gathered and then taking into account your character's rarity+ stat

3. Caravan drivers can be targeted and die before the caravan itself, what is the point of having armor/health stats and actual armor upgrades for caravans when drivers can be sniped off the caravan? This is especially true on rafts.

4. Players should always have 2 spawn options, regardless of them already being at their Home Emberspring. Better yet, move the Emberspring spawn inside the City confines and enable Guards to attack hostile players again, they are pretty bugged currently. IMO Guards should be hostile to all Purple players, even during guild wars. Node Wars/Sieges they should be hostile to enemies of the Node. This would make enemy combatants discouraged from entering the City itself to pvp or risk fighting guards. Spawn camping can still happen, as 60 seconds of pvp protection does not save you from someone, or a group of people, waiting at the Emberspring on their mounts. There is no where safe for you to go within 60 seconds.

3. The (infrequent so not super major, but it is extremely inconvenient when it does happen) different caravan bugs that happen when crossing server worker border that can cause the caravan to stop rendering until you realize that it’s on the other side of the border, potential relation to getting teleported to carphin while driving the caravan (only happened to me once, but I’ve heard at least two other people mention the same thing before it happened to me) and the general clicking noises whenever you cross the borders, which could probably be intentional for the sake of knowing where they are, but they also screw with you if you’re in action mode, as it sometimes pulls your cursor back out

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:
(not entirely sure what would go as constructive feedback considering most of it is somewhat related to the as of yet unfinished desert, which I know you all are still working on adding to, so nothing as far as that)

1. This one might be more of a bug related feedback than actual feedback, but it does seem like people are able to (currently) abuse things like the caravan recovery to avoid having their caravan destroyed, which makes sense, but also kind of sucks for attackers if not only can the driver log off while being attacked, their caravan will despawn as well to save it from being destroyed, if there was a way to potentially make that feel less exploitable or fair without also screwing with people who legitimately crash while driving caravans that’d be cool 👍

[obsidian tangle]

I've personally tried and reported all the bugs below and 100% appreciate y'all wanting to be thorough with this feedback.

TOP BUGS:

• tank mitigation stat boost: I tried messing with this while leveling for a bit and my word leveling was so boring and unengaging, andI'm not even level 20 yet! I can't imagine the frustration people have with tanks using this at level 25 or in pvp. Please fix this even if it's the only thing you get to.
• pathing bugs: really great improvements have been made to pathing so far since p1 launch, but seems like there are still some places where players can travel to, but NPCs can't identify as a viable location to teleport. I don't think it's too big a deal, but again it's just unengaging. I know there's no "quick fix" but I hope y'all can either force mobs to unleash if they don't attempt any attacks for 30 seconds or allow them to teleport inside players' locations.
• some low level quest mobs werent ever respawning (like Goblin Dunkers) or werent properly dropping quest items (like Goblin Diggers dropping Cargo Manifests)

TOP FEEDBACK:

• While leveling, the grind would feel more tolerable to new players (I personally love it as is, don't get me wrong) if gear drops are more common and diverse, even common quality. With a perceived increased chance at gear upgrades, players can feel like they get micro achievements while leveling every time a white item drops. Right now you only get a handful of possible items at a given XP farm, and the rarity range is such that you end up seeing the exact same green necklace or white shoulders again and again over hours.
• while Artisan-ing, I really can't stand the number of clicks it takes to complete a simple craft like processing wood into timber; I'd start with removing the confirmation window after hitting "claim". Make a toggle allowing you to prioritize the crafts going to your bags vs bank. If one is full, it goes to the other, else will say inventories are full.
• while pvp-ing: I really like the concept of hidden enemy health bars, but the 1/4 updates can be pretty confusing. I honestly wonder what the impact would be if you just removed the health ##s and had a regular following bar. Even a bar every 10% would be better. 76% just shouldn't display 100% to your opponent imo.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. currently there is no risk to attacking a caravan or reason for a player to not attack, the risk to launch should be as risky as to attack (perhaps a sort of consumable item needed to declare an attack on a caravan so that the attackers must be smart and selective on what and when to strike)
2. instead of needing to beacon to move your caravan to a new node, allow us to just transfer via the caravan manager and charge us the cost of the beacon to do so
3. some of the treasure maps are very hard to find and not because of multiple circles or higher rarity just the placement of the circles is over very uneven ground and places with alot of bushes, or if not removing these spots add in a sort of pulse or pinging sound like a metal detector would have when we are nearby the dig site (could be a craftable for blacksmithing)
4. let us get some sort of drops for the desert world boss, having it in and double our max level doesn't make sense to me if you want players to fight it and interact with it at least temporarily lower the level or enable drops on it like the other world bosses
5. temporarily remove firebrand from spawning near steelbloom, as currently the behaviour of the NPC makes it get stuck or freak out far too much whenever its near steelbloom and we dont want to have to fight it stuck inside a wall because it decided to fire breath into the wall.

5. Inventory bugs that require you to mount and demount to resolve.

Top 3-5 Feedback:

1. Only 5 Raptor spawns is extremely annoying when they are required to support multiple tradeskills
2. Tailors are the only class not able to buy apprentice shirts and skivvies from vendors, this seems odd.
3. Real pvp happens very rarely. Instead people just train groups and loot their corpses instead of flagging up and fighting. If you fight back it is you who goes Red.
4. Lack of Marketplace search makes the tool very hard to use.
5. I'm greatly enjoying the game, but if enforcement doesn't happen against exploiters you will alienate all but the most hardcore pvp players.

[maiden heart]

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Mob AI, aggro, pathing and training. The latter especially.
2. All the inventory issues like in the bank, or when gathering, nothing goes into the inventory. And crucially the disappearing items when trading.
3. The various caravan issues and exploits, like taking the rafts through the barrier walls.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Ban the serial exploiters, who keep doing it over and over. An actual ban. Don't just reset them to level 1 and/or delete their gold/items. Full ban on accounts. Please do not play any favorites when it comes to banning, including people in guilds that are friendly with devs. This is the single biggest issue going forward if you want the player base to keep trust in the company. You will lose way more people than you ban if you don't hammer these people hard. Overall they are not a net positive to have in the alpha, in any capacity.
2. Seriously, full perma-bans.
3. I am overall happy with the rate of progress in the game, considering it looks like you sorta started over after the shift to UE5. I would like some better expectation management from you guys though. Phase 2 start wasn't handled well I think. Way too many people on the EU server for sure, without any sort of information from Intrepid about why you did that and what players should expect. The proclamation that you were merging all the servers came way too late as well. Great job on the server tech, don't get me wrong, just please give us all a better and earlier heads-up next time please.

Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Most Important Bugs:

1. Movement glitching/freezing when using Ranger abilities like Disengage, or anything that causes the Ranger to move quickly, which often ends up with the character stopping in midair, and taking random falling damage instead of completing the movement.
2. Inventory not properly showing that items have been moved to storage, and instead displays them as still in the inventory slot they occupied.
3. Enemies teleporting through terrain to the player instead of trying to path to them like normal.
4. Some helm items are not showing on certain races (like Growler's Helm on an Empyrean)
5. Camouflage doesn't appear to work all that often, or at least it shows to the user that their character is still fully visible.

Feedback:

1. Please open up most if not all currently blocked/closed interiors so that those of us who want to explore and RP will have more interior locations to do so. Having been inside one such closed interior in Halcyon after experiencing a bug with dismounting too close to the building, I can see that there are already mostly finished interiors that just need to be completed and opened to the players.
2. Need a better system for reporting toxic players in-game.
3. Dedicated LFG and Market channels would cut down the spam in General and Citizen chat.
4. Please create a better way to hide the player nameplate UI for screenshots so that I don't have to keep spamming PgDn every time someone walks into frame because their nameplate shows up. That would be far easier than having to turn off nameplates before every screenshot and then turning them back on afterward.
5. Thank you for taking the time to address our concerns.

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Enemy LOD distance is way too short, even on max render settings. This enables you to wander into mob agro w/o realizing
2. Sever/client enemy Desync, melee enemies effectively have ranged attacks because the enemies can use melee abilities while looking like you are out of range. (especially Bears)
3. Too much high rank gatherables and not enough low rank, seems like high rank material nodes are replacing low rank ones effectively locking that node out until a higher rank gatherer comes along
4. World bosses cannot be done with high amount of players because the boss does not take priority when rendering characters on screen, this leads to instant deaths because you couldn't see the attack

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Tanks are NOT TANKY in early levels forcing you into groups, you all designed agro mechanics excellently, the sustain/temp hp skills of tanks need a second pass because your vision was that all classes are somewhat effective solo and tanks cant do that right now, I had an easier time soloing as a bard.
2. Guild max player count is extremely small forcing guilds to split up into multiple guilds. This effectively makes guild chat a dead feature
3. The tax system is unclear to the player and is inconsistent across players, some paying 2 tax receipts at level 25 and others paying 162 at level 10 for no discernable reason. Needs a total overhaul.
4. I am Proud of Steven for standing up for his employees and for the game we love on Asmongolds stream. Good job, all but a vocal minority loved that.

4. More clear on what's allowed and what is not, will I get banned for using croc mount? Passing a world barrier = level 1, weapon proqs too many = ban etc

Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:***

1. Flagging Bugs. People going in and out of lawless zones bug flagged and if killed cause others to go red, while looking purple.
2. **Render Pop In **- Node becomes overloaded and people render in 10ft infront of you, same as mobs. Makes the game unplayable.
   3.Slow Bug. Randomly not sure why but you will permanently lose 30% or so MS and can be seen in base stats. Need to relog to fix.
3. Constantly relogging. You need to log to flush a multiple of things. Memory leak, Inventory not working properly, not being able to loot etc. It makes playtesting very tedious and it should be a priority to reduce how much we have to restart the game.
4. **Cannot hit Caravan while Driver is away or Logged out **- The driver can simply run away from the caravan, log out and make the caravan untargetable. Removing the risk from the equation.
   Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:
5. Flagging should last longer and be reworked. - Flagging right now makes a guessing game of when someone will turn innocent and give a murder count, instead of generating pvp. Flagging (purple) should last 3-5 minutes, and be refreshed upon being hit by another player.
   **2. Crafting Quantities **- Crafting is a massive slog because you have to craft 1 at a time, and select the ingredients each time, instead of a batch like everything else. Also, batches shouldn't be static amounts. Its annoying to always have leftovers or less than needed.
   **3. Weapon Finishers are Boring and I think are Bugged - **As it stands right now, you can level up every single weapon line and when you do a finisher, it applies all of them, from every weapon line. If this is intentional, I'm confused. I think the weapons in general need a lot of love, it doesn't feel great using any over any other and they don't over a ton of different playstyles. Just AoE or Single target and thats it. The classes feel much better comparatively.
   4. Need a LFG Board or Chat - Global is legit just people spamming for groups. Would be better if that was elsewhere.
   **5. Horizontal Content - **While I LOVE what Ashes is doing and I very much look forward to its future, My main concern is right now (and foreseeable future) we do not have enough systems to get the attention of a very wide base of MMORPG gamer. Systems I'm referring to would be something like, plant breeding, being able to make unique plant decorations for peoples houses. Or trophies from hunting to be put in houses for small buffs or wtf ever u get it. We need more for people to get absorbed in other than PvX Politics and Mob Grinding.

======================
Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Caravans: Lots of people are losing caravans to the map, or when they change from boat to land, or land to boat if someone slightly touches the dock with their boat. ALso allowing changing from land to water, if you dont do it in the right area you can lose your whole caravan. ( i am not sure if it is a bug but being able to be target and easily killed on the raft is a bit of a problem. people are just getting killed on the water and have their caravan float off the map)

2. Storage/ inventory system: I have list 6 heroic cargo from random game bugs. I went from Miraleth to Jungle. I moved my Cargo from my caravan into storage, and it was just gone. Then later i bought a new heroic cargo, the glint was removed but the cargo didnt appear in my storage. Another time i had 4 heroic cargos sitting in my storage and they just vanished. All of this happened like week 1 of phase 2, so i was incredibly broke due to it not working. Sometimes i cannot lot items from the monsters especially glint, And invisible inventory items

3. Maps: Not being able to do maps when it is a good way to get resourced due to the scarcity. I am bricked on my character, i gave my friend my map to complete it, we worked together to find the mound there wasnt any problem. Then on the second map the rare map, we finally found the mound went to loot it but the chest was bugged.

4. Resources. There are some willows that are inside stones or cliffs that i cannot harvest. There are also some trees that are out in the open and cannot be harvested. There are other trees that are behind invisible walls. Wit hthe lack of willows on the server and 20+ of them being bugged it is tough to find ones that can be harvested

5. Mages spell bugs, The skill for blink that says to break Disability effects does not work. The upgrade for cone of cold that says it knocks back does not knock back.

Inredibly green(New) player here, having only played for 6 days now..

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Heal Killing. Around level 10 I healed someone dying at the first 'dungeon', and killed them with the hot I applied due to zombie status, and got corruption flagged for it. I had no clue what that even was, honestly, and got killed while trying to figure out what it was/what happened.
2. The crashes. I don't need to explain this much more.
3. Monsters AI breaking. Anything from the monster got tripped to just, nothing. A ton of mobs bug and move back into walls (Carph warmages for example) or such.
4. Monsters leash range jank. (They chase you way, way to far - some never give up it feels)
5. Bugs with interacting with things. Looting, talking to npcs or whatever.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Pvp is not my favorite thing, which is gonna make the game really odd for me, but something has to be done about the rampant training. Accidents are one thing. Intentionally dragging stuff through a parties camp's aoe is another. Or pulling mob with AoE into the party. (HH's pyro's, golems in cerph, ext)
2. Spell tuning. Some mobs (Mainly larger or magic/casters) spells are ridiculous. Someone trained an Occulus(Spelling?) in cerph sewers and all at once got hit by 6k. Did not even see it happen until 3 people died!
3. Some resources seem extremely rare/hard to get, especially starting out, due to the nodes having a chance to spawn as whatever. Copper/zinc felt especially rare.
4. Magic gear feels especially rare, but that in lies point #2 mainly. Can't kill magey mobs that reliably until later levels, so anything that wants magic power gear is struggle bussing for a long time. (Again, this is greenhorn PoV, might be wrong)

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. I think the GvG war system is a bit broken at the moment, some guilds are abusing it to declare wars on other guilds that are doing open world bosses without getting flagged therefore the other players that are not in that guild can not participate without getting flagged/corrupted.
2. Resource nodes like Zinc/Copper/Weaping Willow are very scattered please increase the spawn rate or number of resource nodes on the map.
3. Would like to see the questing system be more impactful on leveling, currently you dont get to much XP/rewards from them and its not worth it doing them
4. Frustrating to scroll through the Market Place's pages up and down when changing a page
5. Node buffs show next to player/party buffs unde HP bar, making it a high amount of buffs and the UI is prioritizing the node buffs. Please separate them somehow, some classes need to keep track of their buffs.

Top 3-5 Most Important feedback:

Mine are more class specific.

1. i know tanks are not supposed to be DPS but man! The combination of lower gear drop and low damage made it more difficult to lvl up solo. Not to mention finding a good party that didn't make me go into crazy debt was even harder. After a rough session like that, I want to farm alone. But if I aggro something while just riding, as a tank it's really difficult to survive.
   So I ask that you either make better gear drops or increase the tanks ability to do damage a bit more.
   As a tank main that would be great 🙏🏽

2. mobs for some reason would appear out of thing air, start attacking, and sometimes dissappear just of nowhere just as quickly. This makes it hard to farm when u have a party planning well and all of a sudden, a random monster glitches in and kills everyone.

3. where is all the copper 😭 some lower lvl resources where way harder to get your hands on then higher tier, that was kind of frustrating.

   Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:
4. The combat and healing in this game is awesome. I cannot wait to see how the content/quests will enhance it. Would love some events in the higher dungeon areas (Church, Highwayman Hills, Carphin). Like the level 3-6 goblin area just north of the Divine Gate.
5. Crafting can be a little annoying. By time you can make the gear you have out leveled it in your adventuring level. Feels like it needs to be more like the adventure leveling where it goes very fast in novice then slows a little at each promotion.
6. Apprentice vendors selling what we can make for cheaper. I’m doing carpentry right now. In order for me to make a caravan wheel from log to finished product it cost more silver in production costs (I think it was 18 silver) than the 11 silver the vendor sells it for. I would rather the vendor not sell those type of items at all. I know this is Alpha and that might no be planned for launch, but how can we test the economy if the vendor can sell it cheaper.
7. Resource spawns, they desperately need to be adjusted so that we can actually craft what we want. I.e. Copper and Willow.

Thank you all for the hard work on this game. I am really enjoying myself.

Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Caravans disappearing randomly. The idea that I can randomly just lose 6g+ investment without getting it back, really hurts my desire to participate in Caravans. I haven't done a single caravan since it happened to me, and have just been selling my Glint instead to make money. I'd love to trust that these don't disappear and start making routes!

2. Enemy AI that allows training onto other parties so easily. The enemies can follow from SUCH a long distance, and the amount of training going on in POI's makes for a dangerous experience. I'm perfectly fine with PvP-ing in POI's to claim areas, but the 'training mobs onto other parties to kill them without corruption' really hurts to play with.

3. Treasure Maps not working. Even after the recent 'fix', I did a Treasure Map... And the chest was unlootable. And, that ate my excavation tools. So it's another bug that results in a loss of 1-2g+ (depending on rarity) that I really want to do, but don't want to keep risking losing my investment.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. I think it is incredibly important to note that the bones of this game are so incredibly enticing. I want to play the final version of this game so bad, and I think it's important that you all see how much we love this game.

2. There are some areas that may need more 'server workers' or more dedicated resources, because often times I can tell when I'm in a populated area or not, just by the latency in my combat. When I'm isolated, enemy cast bars are accurate, and feel good to play around. In populated areas, I sometimes get hit by casts when the bar is barely 20% full (Ursine Cave Choppers using Cleave are especially bad).

3. Low-tier resources are far too scarce at the moment. It feels like I mostly see 30-40 basalt/granites per other low-tier node. I would like to see some way to balance this out. It should be telling that the lowest tier metals are by a wide margin the most expensive materials at the moment. It feels like I don't have a chance to learn any metalworking / jewelry trades when Copper is usually 20s+ per ore, and recipes are taking several of these to make.

[teal hedge]

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Performance and rendering distance, since this game will feature PvP as part of it's core experience, this is paramount to getting right for large scale conflicts. The large scale PvP is definitely far and away from being in a good spot.

2. Server issues, my home node is Miraleth and with it sharing the same SW as Carphin it lags a lot. The entire area is very laggy most of the time.

3. Node turn in systems can be a bit buggy and maps. I tried my first map without knowing how it works, found the spot and had no tools. Never got the tools until the next day and my character was already bugged forever to maps at that point.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. As a primarily solo player a lot of this might not be intended and this could be a zerg or get zerged kinda game only, but usually there are ways and systems that make it so it's not always beneficial to just zerg out all the content. I would like to see more individual systems that one can interact with and still participate in a meaningful way.

2. Crafting and the accumulation of resources. How you balance the game to keep the rich from getting richer and the economic gap widen because a few individuals or guilds find easier ways to advance than others and then use that to gatekeep content from others. I personally really don't like that. I understand the power of numbers and it's really hard to fight that. I am not asking for that. I am just hoping we can find more ways for solo and/or casual players to feel like they are part of this world and can contribute in their own way. The node system is really great for this. I want to see more things expanding on this.

3. Please continue to keep an open dialog with the community and don't be afraid to say things. If you truly believe in your game and vision, then fuck what anyone else thinks, including me and just continue with your passion an work. In the end your game will speak for itself.

2. Inventory issues such as items not transferring and/or moving until you mount. Also stacking issues and sometimes not being able to transfer with right clicking
3. Invisible walls. Often times while running, I will run into an item that I cannot see and cannot progress until I back up and run around that object.
4. Bugged mobs that cannot be attacked or cannot be targeted. Also the training issues.
5. As a cleric, I am often alternating between healing and damaging. Quite often, when I give my defensive target a heal, I stop auto-attacking my offensive target.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. A more intuitive search feature in the market stalls or being able to filter by armor weight, weapon type, included stats etc etc.
2. Not sure if it is a bug or the system, but the node taxes seem ridiculously high. Upon becoming a citizen in Winstead, I was expected to pay over 150 tax receipts, which doesn't seem feasible for a level 10 character.
3. Some sort of reward for caravan defenders. A mercenary type system might work well here where the defenders are hired at a small percentage by the caravan owner upon successful delivery
   ======================

[molten dragon]

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

• Treasure maps: become unlootable due to inventory desyncing, do not complete when chest is looted, can't start a map if you logged off with a map active, and it expires

• Inventory and looting desyncing such that you can't loot items like glint without mounting/dismounting and having to relog

• scrolls stop working when relogging, compounded issue with having to relog due to inventory

• unreachable nodes especially with such resource scarcity

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

• General player toxicity is beyond the bounds of typical pvp hostilities. Having level 25s sitting in POIs, especially lower level, and wiping groups hour after hour is just one example. Ideally there should be a GM in game during peak hours that can be reached and/or invisibly lurking, and also take a harsh stance on these things. The community would be better for it. As it stands, my community had 50+ people in p1, and we are down to 7. #1 reason cited is player griefing.

• Crafting professions have a lot of friction, so much so that it should be more rewarding from a player leveling perspective. Given the hours upon hours it takes to level up professions, it should give a little bit more player exp so that crafters don't get left behind, while also making crafting relevant during the leveling process

• more POIs and interactive content in the world. There seems to be less than p1, as freeholds took some key farming spots. I can ride for 20minutes without engaging an NPC, and npc render distance is seemingly much shorter now making it feel even emptier. Also freehold farms are such an eyesore 😦 can we hide player farms?

• players still work around the corruption system. Gear should either get perma-deleted on death or they shouldn't be able to log off so that their friends can come and kill them, loot their gear, and give it back.

• consider finding ways to feature players and guilds for doing positive things for the gaming community; War is harsh but that doesn't mean there can't be some code of ethics. Right now too many bad actors get the attention.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Fewer items or number restrictions for items planted in freeholds (it's an eye-sore to see 40 trees overlapping each other, although the fields of flowers are quite lovely). I also worry about freeholds imbalancing revenue to the single adventurer. How is a single player who randomly finds a rare tree able to compete with the wal-mart production of a freehold.

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Mobs running into scenery so they cant be hit or they die within set dressing and are unable to be looted

2. Inventory not working causing relog or remounting to reset, also caravan disappearances are difficult to handle and a bit disheartening I’ve heard

3. Tank not being able to see shield is irksome but sometimes I have to press the mount / call mount button like 14 times for it to work so that would be cool to fix

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Decreasing the length that monsters hold aggro for or decreasing the time it takes to leash as this would help with mob training and also its ridiculous sometimes I’m halfway across the node and they’re still on my trail.

2. I was really looking forward to having a house but its nearly impossible for a solo or small group player to get that much gold before the big guilds can buy them all up, so I’m pretty sad about that and would really like some way that casual/semi-casual players could have a homestead or house

3. I think reporting characters should be a built in feature to the game eventually. I understand that a certain amount of trolling comes with the territory, but some of the gender based comments are difficult to see even when they’re not directed at myself.

4. I think the exploiters and exploit apologizers should be held accountable but I’m hoping that whole nodes don’t get regressed for the actions of guilds because I am a citizen of a node but specifically not a part of a major guild so I’m hoping punitive action will separate guild and node from one another.

Okay that’s all, this has been so much fun so far and I am excited for how this game will continue to grow, thank you so much!

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Inventory Issues. Including, Looting, Selling and storing items.

2. Aggro Issues on certain mobs (i.e like some mobs in steel citadel).

3. Caravan System in general has major issues. Including: Despawns, Teleports, unable to interact or attack certain caravans, caravans straight up disappearing, event not ending, getting stuck as attackers or defenders or being able to join a caravan dispute without being put on a side.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Ease of use for Artisan Skills. Specifically the UI kind of makes it hard to tell what things you really want to craft. The UI's/Hotkeys are also a bit unintuitive. I'd also love to see or discuss how artisan skills can be a little bit more intuitive in itself, so that you know what things you need for the recipes you are trying to make, such as tracking recipes or just simply highlighting recipes you are able to make and desaturating ones you aren't able to create. Fuel system is fine, but is a bit weird in how it sorts and chooses which thing I want to use as fuel. I shouldn't be able to choose the log I'm cutting into planks as well for the fuel.

2. Taking another look into mouseover casting. Some abilities do not function properly in the mouseover casting, and it is also hard to tell though mouseover if a player is in range of your ability. There are a few other things I'd like to see here for MO Casting to be a bit more intuitive, such as range indication, and click casting. I also have a few issues with raiding frames sometimes swapping back to party frames during combat or adding/dropping players. Along with that I feel the current raid frames could be too small and don't provide enough control over being able to see buffs/debuffs.

3. This is entirely personal to me and is not necessarily the experience of others, and could potentially come later into the game, but I LOVE playing Melee based magic users. There are some options currently for mage but they are not very good and can be a bit finnicky. I would love to see more ways to expand current skill trees and add some more niche skills for both flavor and different playstyles. I understand to some degree that some of this will be coming with Secondary Archetypes but if I am playing a Mage/Fighter I'd hope these things come with more build defining playstyles, such as Spellblade getting extra damage close range or while using melee, or being able to weave in and out of melee, or changing some skills to be instant cast or buffing your next combo when choosing the secondary archetype.

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

3. Working quests; there are still many quests that either don’t work or only work partially; need these more fleshed out and worth doing (experience/rewards)
4. Treasure maps bugged. Nothing in quests logs and unable to start any new treasure map quests, despite having many maps in inventory and storage. I'd really like to further test this system, but can't due to the bugs.
5. Mounts unable to pass same terrain we can as players/ on foot. Many many times mounts get stuck on nothing visible, or a slight elevation. Solution is to dismount and walk over and then summon mount again...this is very inefficient.

1. Constant CTD when entering or walking around cities, I have a high end machine with 64 gbs of RAM and i still get "not enough memory"
2. Caravan events and many things to do with them
3. Inventory bugs and things not showing some time then showing again randomly
4. Movement (both characters and mobs) is very jaggedy and teleporty and mounts sometimes move sideways when just walking forward.
5. Lots of NPCs have missions markers on them even though the missions were completed

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Please make the game clear to understand, you dont need to hold player's hands or anything, but the game is extremely confusing when i first started. Many of my friends quit as they didnt feel like looking up guides.
2. General animations feel clunky and not smooth, which makes the rather beautifully designed mobs seem very unnatural and look like they dont belong in the world.
3. Economy is very confusing to understand, alongside the whole gleam to silver situation. Not everyone coming into the game has an MMO background.
4. Mounts, no explanation until i looked up a guide. A quick mount guide (after getting the horse) would have helped, maybe even a quest that makes you tame a deer or a wolf and go turn it into a mount to show how its done.
5. XP gain is very slow, sure we dont want a very fast XP gain like in FF14 or WOW, but its excruciatingly slow. Crafting feels tedious and not rewarding XP wise or money wise as well. For example, an oak log (10 fuel) is the same price as crafting it to oak timber (8 fuel) after using 11 total oak logs, that makes no sense.

2. Ashen warriors not attacking back

Top 3 feedback

1. I don’t believe there is too little copper/zinc but instead, leveling anything that requires metal just takes too much of it. 50% reduction would be a start. I’m level 20 before I can make level 10 gear and I’ve spent most of my time gathering.

2. No one likes the current WoW group finder but it would still be nice to have an in game group finder like a LFG bulletin board or something like that. Could be a tab next to your friends list when you can view everyone who is LFG.

3. I like the concept of magic power or physical power but all I want to do is play a sword and board cleric and this system completely restricts my ability to do so because my healing is based on my magic power. I feel like cleric should have the option to do either caster or melee.

[whole lodge]

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Implement crafting based on rarirty or quanitity of materials used. Kinda like how Runescape does it where if an Oak Create takes 5 Oak Timber and Oak Carriage uses 10 Oak Timber, the carriage gives 2x the amount of xp instead of the same.
2. Resources in the world should be heavily impacted by what the world can produce. For example, if the world can only make apprentice level mining pickaxes, maybe like 75-90% of the mining nodes in the world are T2 or lower.
3. Very super reaching here - but have the ability to put your mount on a "follow the road" feature (Similar to Assassins Creed Odyssey) where the mount will least follow the road they are on automatically without the user having to spam run or geet turning for curves. Would help make traveling easier while still living up to the need to travel

2. Monster AI enabling mob trains
3. Various caravan bugs everyone has noted, including the inability to have more than a few together without crashing the server

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Lack of guild bank makes current economy testing challenging, as it's harder to share gathered/processed mats with guildies if they're not available to trade due to being across the map, busy grinding, or offline.
2. Target of Target window is too small and can't be made larger, and also needs to show the target enemies cast bar. Also we need the ability to set a Focus Target. For healers that don't want to use hover casting or the offensive/defensive targeting, target of target and focus target windows are standard tab target MMO options to enable healer/supports the UI functions they need.
3. Gatherable resource and gear drop scarcity - I know some of this may be intended, but the systems needed to make that scarcity work aren't where they need to be. GvGs are buggy and corruption is too punishing, so nobody fights over spots. The lack of gatherables needed to both level and make crafted items as well as also build and support node projects means one or both of those systems aren't seeing much progress.
4. Level ranges for grouping - Current xp and drop rates make players feel the need to only grind xp and gear in small level ranges, making it harder to find groups or help others. This is exacerbated by players feeling the need to have specific archetype makeups in groups for successful grinding because a lot of players aren't that great and struggle with the increased mob difficulty in Phase 2.

Exploiting lvl with no consecuences.. can we expect cheaters will not break the game in release?

[quaint rain]

The top bugs I have encountered:

• Caravan related bugs where the caravan will fall through the world, never to be recovered again, or where it is delivered successfully but the caravan and all of its cargo are absent from the node.

• Treasure maps bugging. These need to be accessible to everyone, and reliably so. Some cannot even activate the quest. Those who can have issues sometimes after unearthing the chest.

• Inventory issues. Sometimes glint cannot be looted, and objects cannot be moved around. The fix right now requires people to relog, or to use their mounts which somehow resets it. It is a persistent and distracting issue.

• Several resources throughout the riverlands are consistently bugged and cannot be mined or chopped. These often are stuck as highly desired mats.

That's all I can think of rn! Otherwise, I love the way the game is progressing and look forward to getting to nitpick smaller, less critical things, like character appearance and such. 😉 Welcome back, Intrepid team!

[waxen trout]

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Freeholds: Weeping Willow planted on freeholds is returning Oak.
2. Treasure Maps: Cannot use treasure maps anymore after getting bugged once. Suspicion is that I did not properly abandon a bugged map quest and now it is not in quest list but I cannot start another.
3. **Looting/ inventory/ storage issues: **Very often I cannot pick up glint. Have to get on my mount and back off to loot it. Also inventory not logging changes, similarly have to get on my mount and back off constantly to get it to update accurately when moving things or making space.
4. **Caravan instability: **People are getting randomly kicked off their caravan and load up in carphin for some reason. Caravans also disappear sometimes, especially on server worker lines, and have to be recovered later.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:
1.** Gathering rarity: **People were noticing that single nodes in a given time frame were always returning legendgary, epic, etc resources. This led to players marking and time stamping specific spawns and camping them to get high rarity mats consistently. Rarity seems like something that should be completely randomized, with a set percent chance every time you harvest, with your artisan gear boosting that chance.
2. **Travel **really needs to feel better. You spend so much time just getting from A to B constantly with no auto pathing so making it feel more polished would go a long way. Mounts getting stuck on barely visible stones, not having as good of a jump clearance as your character, getting locked in animation, randomly slowing down and having to be unsummoned to fix, all just adds up.

1. I personally think the pvp system needs work. Punishment for pvp is far too severe and it rarely seems worth the risk to engage with. I understand it’s a fine balance though to prevent heavy griefing…
2. Map improvements. It feels very janky in its current state. (Finding your group, quest locations, zooming in and out on map, etc.)

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Willow is too rare. It is the only wood harvest able at apprentice level and is used in most crafts. I would suggest more spawns for it as well as fix the bug where some trees don't provide the prompt to harvest.
2. Inventory bug. At random times your inventory will stop updating until you interact with a mount. This makes harvesting gatherables extremely slow and very annoying.
3. Caravans are still super buggy especially if you have a large group of caravans going at the same time.
4. Some mobs have way too long of a leash range and will follow you halfway across the map

Top Important feedback

1. Not everyone doing caravans want to pvp, I believe there should be some way to make the same type of money that you can make from caravans without having to pvp.
2. Having a server without streamer guilds would also make the game much more enjoyable for me (not that I think yall can control that much)

2. Inventory issues are really frustrating. Unable to loot, unable to open storage, items vanishing.
3. Exploits, nuff said.
4. The negative healing is really cool, I like it. Leverage this, please and just update the tooltips to reflect the proper effect. Keeps people on their toes. Please fix the delayed removal though. It doesn't drop until about 8 seconds after the icon is gone.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Harvestable quantities. Given the sheer # of players on the servers, the rarity of certain harvestables is insane. You can go for days looking specifically for a copper node and find zero. Willow, Braidwood. There may be others.
2. Caravan risk vs reward. There is no risk for attackers at present and no incentive to defend. This places the system in a bad place presently. It functions but is buggy as well. I believe the payoffs are good, but you really have to be in a strong guild to pull off any serious caravaning. I think there is a ton of improvement to be had in this area to make it a really cool and fun system. It's currenly only really fun for guilds. Rarely will any passer-by defend a solo's caravan, there's just no reason to do it. The driver gets all the rewards and assumes all the risk. The attacker and defenders assume no risk but the incentive is heavily weighted towards attacking. This is a very realistic system, but that does not mean it's a fun system for a game. D&D is realistic to a point, but enjoyment takes priority.
3. Server mergers boosted population, but it feels VERY crowded. This has an effect on resource scarcity as well as mob availability. Towns are often so crowded, you can't go there without crashing.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Animal Husbandry is way too expensive, and the output from it is not even worth the silver investment since all mounts and caravan components at the novice level become instantly unimportant when the apprentice mounts can be made. I have seen people trying to sell the mounts for at cost or just below, and the caravan components for 20 silver. Animal Husbandry is my favorite, but I have yet to make a single mount or beast due to the cost.
2. Failing caravans hurt too much for the poor, lol. It costs 20 silver for each failed basic caravan. 10 to buy and 10 to launch. When you have no money, it is really hard to get this up and going when you are needing to use money to repair broken gear from dying by caravan and hunting to gather the glint. I have to sell two blue glints to get the caravan going, and this is only just now becoming slightly less of an issue now that I am level 12, but it took me three weeks to get here.
3. My most important topic - the map. I love hunting the creatures throughout Verra, and I would love to be able to mark them on the in game map.

2. Some parts of the map where node corks meet the general map are misaligned, and sections of road are missing here and there
3. The party system bugs out when disconnecting soemtimes, also the social menu has some issues as well. Sometimes I cannot add people, or they cannot add me.
4. Sometimes server lag causes latency issues and gets my model temporarily stuck inside terrain. Caravans are worst with this issue although it happens on mounts sometimes too

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Enemies respawning right on top of me, this is super annoying when trying to grind through some enemy spawns that may be on or slightly above level from me. If I take a ton of time to clear out a camp, I died a lot to random mobs respawning while I was talking to my friend about a plan of attack for the boss.
2. Entity render distance, I wish I could adjust this so that I can see enemies and players further away. Seeing them pop in and out of existence is pretty immersion breaking, also they float when riding mounts.
3. Some quests either dont work as intended, or the clues are too vague to understand.

Bugs

1. Inventory/storage bugs
2. Pathing/spawning issues regarding mobs dropping below ground and out of sight then “popping” on a player. Players not being able to move and stuck behind a “wall”. Similarly those paths are likely where gathering nodes may be spawning reducing harvestable materials.
3. Mob leashing and ago management with the added bonus of xp sniping by people.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. The climbing system and vertical terrain makes me want to fight from high vantage points where I can avoid AoE and have better sight as a healer, but when an NPC targets me and dashes around on the ground, it feels like a bug/exploit, so I just don't utilize vertical terrain anymore. I would rather see all enemies (that it makes sense for) have a ranged attack/pull/leap to strike units that they cannot path to.
2. Please add a "sell cart" the same as the "buy cart" that I can right click items into and then confirm my sale. Individually selling items it tedious.
3. Please add bulk crafting options. i.e. 100 Ash Timber for 10 Carriages.
4. Processing times are 1 item/minute. Please just let me add a set quantity and have to provide the required materials in any value. Having 3-4 of an item feels bad because you either have to babysit the station, let it sit until you get more, or buy to the next cap.
5. Western Larch Adult grow time is too long. I've been in areas for 30-45 minute gathering loops, leaving specific trees, not seeing another soul, and they don't age up. It feels like the only viable way to gather Western Larch is to chop younger trees..

Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. CARAVANS. Caravan System for Attacking/Defending as well as being able to launch caravans into the sea which is naturally walled off. Either open up the center for trade routing or close it off indefinitely. Additionally, it appears that you cannot choose attack or defend if you are in a party.

2. DE-SYNC. There seems to be some sort of De-Sync that happens with the server causing you to need to Re-log in order to use chat, get xp, drops etc. Im not sure if this is an issue with the server meshing or what but it becomes very frustrating after having to make the entire party relog over and over.

3. EXPLOITS. Guild Wars, Fishing Derbies etc+ The exp exploiting is getting out of hand. Its not fair to everyone testing the game as intended, gets trounced by cheaters.

4. MOB AGGRO. Being able to drag a train of enemies across another group just because you dont like them or want their grinding spot is malicious and should not be a thing.

5. TREASURE MAPS. I know you guys have tried to fix this, but if they are not going to be fixed in the foreseeable future they need to be flat out disabled so that we arent wasting them.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. GLINT. Drop rates are atrocious. It appears that the higher level you become the less glint you receive. Which is frustrating for those of us that like to run Caravans or just looking for an additional income source in general. The drop rate should be incrimental and not plateau.

2. MARKETPLACE SEARCH FUNCTION. Most people do not look past the first few or last few pages when searching the Marketplace. Adding a search function will give it more life and create an actual economic system for the game.

3. RESOURCES. Resource nodes need to be spread out more methodically and not just a bag of skittles all over the map. Ores and Metals should be more abundant in the desert and taking up less real-estate in the riverlands. OR make it to where only certain resources spawn as the node levels up. Having a shit ton Rividium or Limestone everywhere is not helping anyone when the Requisitions or the T1 crafts we're doing are Copper and Zinc centric.

[wet lily]

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Resource nodes having static rarities within them still. Known legendary rarity spots have been located and are farmed indefinitely. Its pointless to mine 10 nodes if you know 1 node sells for as much as your next 5 trips would go for.
2. Caravans bugging out and/or disappearing sometimes out of nowhere. Even after I finally recovered one mid run the commodities on the caravan disappeared.
3. Non-Ash tree’s spawning in the desert node corks cannot be interacted with.
4. Drowning a char allows people to bypass corruption and travel mechanics. It incurs no xp debt nor do you drop any items when your drowned. Have watched people run caravans out to the desert and then drown themselves in the river to portal back to their caravan starting point. Drowning is a get out of jail free card in the current corruption system.
5. Treasure Maps
   Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:
6. The caravan system has felt actively worst the longer that the server has progressed. This is probably due to the fact that people have better and better gear while crafting is held back by node cooperation. The 25’s also do not have as much content to explore so they seem to just be waiting around for caravans.
7. The smallest possible guild sizes feels bad.
8. People need a reason to live in the desert. The delay to node progression has really doomed these nodes in comparison to others. Even if some POI’s get added to the game it is a hard sell to get people to come out to Azmaran or Sunhaven even though there are some of the best hunting spots in the game in those regions, and they are a destination for Caravan routes. I feel like you would have to go heavy handed with over providing resources to that area to actual get foot traffic to hold up in those areas over the established zones.

1. Inventory. I keep having to restart over and over because of these bugs.
2. Caravan crashes, this is a critical piece of the economic gameplay, and testing it is very high risk for players, just becsuse they keep bugging.
3. Mob leashing and aggro on players encountered far from their spawn point. It's enabling group PVP attacks without the Initiator flagging first. But even when players are just running away from mobs they can't or don't want to deal with it's creating unintended gameplay challenges.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Penalizing exploiters. Banning repeat offenders.
   They aren't helping the cause if they are using it for gains. Need people finding them for sure, but not abusing them. Bug bounties is a common practice to thwart this behavior.

2. Player to Node density:
   If nodes are to be developed to handle as many people as we have in 1 area, changes are needed. Not enough mob density/locations available to handle this type of congestions. Increasing spawn rates help a bit but was a band-aid to the root cause.

3. Economy:
   Caravans are the main source of income generation into the economy. Selling of glint is not a major player here. Currently there is very little risk to attacking a caravans and it has drastically cut income into the economy as well as the reduction of the transporting of goods by multitudes.
   Income generation needs an ally besides caravans. If glint prices to remain, could increase glint drops rates/numbers, or another system. Reduction in loses to caravan might help increase willingness to try caravans, complete destruction is detrimental, allow repairing of a caravan for a fraction of the cost to build a new one, add time to that recovery so you can't just throw money at it. But a full replacement is too big of a penalty atm imo.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Node improvements. Currently keeping node up and running requires extreme ammount of effort unless there is big traffic of players. Current amount of players barely can keep up with upkeep of nodes. When the world opens up more to planed state player numbers might not be enough to keep world evolving. (Depending on target numbers per server)

2. Material Bottlenecks on crafting. On Tier 2 crafting all is bottlenecked behind some rarer materials. Biggest offender here is Weeping willow currently. Woodchips for tanning 1 Wilow ber woodchip, Boards for stonemasonry and tailoring 1 Willow each. Think adjusting how many of those things you can get from 1 process. Cooking has similar situation with cows. to get 1 glasss of milk to make butter you need to grow a cow and harvest milk destroying cow in process.

3. Swapping artisan equipment is unncessary tediousness players should be able to equip set of clothes for each proffession aslong as they meet requirements. (Remove combat stats or make them only count for highest)

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Higher tier gatherables appearing in a world where no one can gather them yet, resulting in them choking out supply of Tier 1 and slowing node development. Copper being the major example. Flax is another.

2. A knock-on issue related to the T1 scarcity are issues gathering materials to even make the higher tier buildings and tools. Copper would be having supply issues even without a gatherable shortfall, since everyone needs copper for their tools. And lack of facilities for making ingots blocks the next tiers.

3. On a completely different note, can something be done to make higher level Grem look more dangerous? I think they are neat unique wildlife, but something about them being a deadly threat at higher levels feels ridiculous since they look like you could drop kick into a shallow body of water and be done with them. Maybe larger or crackling with strange energies, or like put several together as a single 'swarm' mob.

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Hunting: corpse rarity is too low compared to other gathering skills
2. Treasure Maps are too easy to bug, either with the quest not even starting, or the claiming bugging out.
3. Having to force flag in lawless zones to heal/be healed is very annoying and can lead to avoidable deaths in pvp
4. Inventory refresh bug requiring mount/dismount to force an update is extremely annoying

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Crafting recipes are too concentrated on the same rare resources, for example grem skins and raptor skins both take willow chips to tan. The bottleneck is too intense for the purpose. It would be nice if t1 tanning (grem/wolves/bears) took t1 wood to process
2. Please give plenty of warning on any potential node resets, especially if it's going to wipe/make unavailable node warehouses.
3. A hideable LFG chat would be nice so global isn't spammed constantly.

[tribal merlin]

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Treasure maps not working in many ways. First, sometimes characters are simply unable to start a map at all. Second, sometimes the treasure mounds appear inside or under other objects and cannot be found. Third, frequently the game tells you excavation kits not found and you have to move them in your inventory and then relog in order to continue. Fourth, sometimes the chests start to flash and your character kneels and stands repeatedly, and the treasure chest cannot be looted. Fifth, sometimes only part of the treasure chest can be looted. Sixth, you cannot complete the quest even after finding the treasure and have to abandon the quest.

2. When attacking or defending caravans in a group, only the group leader gets the choice of attack or defend, and his choice does not apply to the members of the group. So everyone has to disband and make the choice for the event(s), then try to reform whilst in PvP.

3. Inventory bugs. So many inventory bugs. You sometimes can't loot glint (green or white, never blue) off corpses. You sometimes move items into storage and a ghost copy stays in inventory, or the item moves but doesn't display in either the storage or the inventory until a relog happens. Sometimes when harvesting a resource you get XP for doing so but no notification of what you harvested until you relog. If you do two in a row like that without relogging only the first resource harvested appears - the rest are lost. Moving objects between bags in inventory sometimes displays the same problems - either a ghost is left behind or more commonly, the item doesn't appear in the new location.

Top 5 bug / quality of life

1-Dont tell me this is a mechanic. If you are pvping against a purple player cause he stole or anything, If he doesnt attack and the purple timer expires, he can go white you can kill it and go red.. think this have been the most frustration so far going red by that 😄
2- Please make the raidframe always working showing people in range or not and debuffs, cause currently there is no way to track debuffs on the raid frame
3-Caravans - All about caravans seems lil buggy and its a great waste when you lost one or anything
4-Not sure if everyone knows this one, but when i usualy queue 250 (or 100 some times) when the inventory seems to update slowly(mount dismount to update positions and see them on their real inventory place) if i have any quantity over that get insta deleted. Havent reproduce it yet cause it isnt always , trying to remember to catch it on a video , but you may have an easier time checking it 🙂
5- And this is a suggestion : It would be nice to have a small area where you dont loss exp or anything and you can train your pvp skills with anyone who wants to join, just a very small area in the map where everyone can joins without fear of risking anything and have fun. I think there is none atm ( started on dec 20) and not sure if it may make some undesired bugs, but i think that would make many people stay hours there pvping and chatting about diff strats etc 🙂

And i wont include this in the list cause im realistic, but keep in mind you have to do smthing with the visibility of melee classes when theres ton of shits and particles going on , also sure you are aware of, like the new dungeon ilumination i literaly dont want to go there because of that, when i die there my eyes literaly hurt rofl.

Thanks for everything you doing hope you a good come back to the work wish you all the best posible vibes! Happy new year

Feedback

1. Crafting professions don't feel great rn as it is so difficult to find resources and the amount of interconnectivity of the professions exasturbates this greatly. For just apprentice cooking I need apprentice hunting, herbalism, logging, lumberworking, fishing and farming to make all the recipes. Which as a mostly solo player feels rough but worse because trying to find someone willing to make you what you need and be able to pay them for it is difficult as well.

Hello Devs!

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1.FPS Drops After the Game Has Been Open for a While

• FPS performance significantly degrades after playing for an extended period of time.

2.Treasure-Related Issues

• Bugged Quests: Some treasure quests are impossible to complete due to bugs.
• Flickering Chests: When you find a treasure, the chest keeps flickering, making it impossible to open.

3.Frozen Inventory

• Occasionally, the inventory stops refreshing. While walking or riding, an annoying sound plays as if items are being shuffled within the inventory. This sound typically indicates that the inventory is bugged.

4.Laggy Areas and FPS Drops in Crowded Locations

• The game lags and experiences severe FPS drops in areas with many players or mobs.

5.Dead Mobs Not Despawning

• Defeated mobs don’t despawn, which heavily impacts FPS performance.

6.Exploitable Issues

• There are exploitable mechanics involving mobs for experience, caravans, potions, and wars, leading to imbalances the world of Verra.

===========================================
Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1.Caravans Need Improvement

• Frequent Glitches: Caravans often glitch and fail to summon.
• Underwhelming Rewards: Especially in PvP maps, caravan rewards need to be more attractive.

2.Crafting System Needs Rework

• In scribing, items must be crafted one by one, which is very time-consuming. Allowing a batch crafting, like in processing, would be a significant improvement.

3.Class Balance Adjustments

• Currently, mages, clerics, and bards dominate the game, while other classes feel neglected.
  Suggestion: Introduce a new stat like healing power (specific for healing abilities) and separate it from magic power (focused on attacks).
  To promote other classes, mobs could have magical defense attributes, making fighters and rangers more relevant in party / raid.

4.Low-Level Mobs Should Not Drop Glint or Valuable Items for High-Level Players

• Mobs with a 5+ level difference from the player should not drop Glint or other valuable items.

5.Stronger Punishments for Exploiters

• Simply rolling back characters isn’t enough to deter exploiters.
  Implement stricter penalties, such as account bans or loss of access to the current phase of the game.
  Exploits demotivate honest players, especially when some achieve vastly superior gear unfairly.

6.Marketing

• It is currently impossible to efficiently find an item on the market in the game. There should be a feature to write down the specific item you're looking for or filter by item type, allowing you to view only relevant items instead of manually browsing through each player's store. Filter by level is usefull as well.

[tribal merlin]

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Do something about the exploiters. So many 'big' guilds got to 25 by exploiting war declarations or taking advantage of stuck mobs. They got lots of gear and lots of gold and bought freeholds and used their ill-gotten levels to crush lower level folks in caravan pvp, etc. They spread their ill-gotten gains to other members of their guilds, and the whole economy is off-kilter as a result. Yes it's an alpha, but they're skewing your data.
2. The overcrowding is awful. Every grind spot is filled with groups training monsters onto other groups, or the exploiter guild groups using their higher-level and better-geared characters to take over the gear grinding spots they want. Resources are ridiculously hard to come by, and the whole game feels crowded. Your servers might be able to handle the load (not very well, given the lag and technical issues like rubber banding and ridiculously low draw-distance on mobs, caravans, and players), but the world design certainly cannot. It's a shitshow.
3. Running caravans is high-risk, high-reward. Attacking caravans is no-risk, high reward. There's a serious imbalance there. You need to fix that somehow.

1. There should be a timer when unflagging for pvp if you engaged. You should not be able to immediately be able to be free of pvp flag for maybe 30 seconds after unflagging. Too much corruption baiting going on.
2. I think there should be some sort of caravan debuff after you go into attack mode on a caravan. Too many small guilds losing caravans to Overlord, Actual Pirates, The Federation, and Nexus from continuous caravan farming. Either that or they are being extorted into giving up what they would make for the entire run. Not good for the economy. Only good for the big guilds and bad for the smaller guilds.
3. Please make freeholds able to be shared with guildies.
4. Might want to do this on a Google form next time. You can export to a spreadsheet and you can also make it to where we can see the answers i think.

Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Caravan system is buggy throughout, with crashes, loot not being accessible at the destination node, stuck caravans that disappear into the void and aren't accessible to restart or pull the caravan back out.
2. Auto attack gets "stuck" a lot on a Fighter, where it wants you to use your ranged weapon in melee range and won't let you swap it back out - requires a relog most times to fix.
3. Inventory and storage bugs GALORE - oddly enough, it appears a fix is to summon mount, get on mount, get off mount and dismiss the mount. Relogging also fixes. This is when storing into the node storage, or even picking up materials from harvestable nodes - it appears to be an entirely visual bug, as the two fixes above make them visible. A lot of times, the bug comes back right away.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. The world needs more NPCs to fight OUTSIDE of POIs, especially with how many people have been crammed into a single server. More 1 and 2 star mobs in open areas to grind on would be hugely beneficial, as most of the POIs are incredibly overpopulated (this was true even in phase 1 where there were far less people on a server).
2. There needs to be an easier way to pass items to alt characters - suggestion would be via the node storage (as long as you are in the node you are intending to pull items from). Mail is rough and passing to others is very time consuming.
3. Finally - crafting is very tedious in its current state while having to constantly cart items from the node storage. Recommend adding direct use (i.e. craft from the storage directly) as a citizen perk (not sure if I dreamt this up, but I believe this has been stated as a potential perk). In addition, the "fuel" system for each craft is redundant to the monetary cost to craft and adds nothing to the immersion. Remove the "fuel" portion entirely.
4. Not sure if this is intended, but It seems the node system is interacting with the harvestables in the ZOI - the fact that every phase so far has allowed the node to progress almost instantly to level 3 seems to screw up all the resources. There is a plethorea of T2/3 harvestables when everyone needs T1. Really feel that the node needs to level MUCH slower, otherwise its impossible to test everything tied into the system.
5. Loot needs to be separated from solely humanoid NPCs. No real reason for this in the first place. Big problem trying to get into places (POIs) to farm specific loot. Also feels really bad considering how many of the NPCs to farm are something other than humanoids. Makes it feel as if farming them is useless and actually sets you back.

Alpha Two Phase 2 Feedback

1. Network stability. Phase 2 doesn't feel much better than Phase 1 many times. Attacks and abilities often don't register at all despite completing the cast/animation, or are heavily desynced.

2. Mob behavior is also often really laggy/desynced. It generally doesn't feel very smooth at all when kiting a mob around or trying to dodge attacks. This is a huge deal for a combat focused game.

3. Inventory bugs. This happens SO frequently, where my material inventory won't update to reflect the actual state of the inventory. Items can't be moved around, and I can't see what I looted. Related to this, I lost 5 legendary copper moving it out of my warehouse storage into my inventory. Completely disappeared from both, even after relogging multiple times. This is game breaking.

4. Buff bar. The max number of buffs displayed is too low, so we often can't see exactly when we have certain temp buffs up. Also, the duplicate node buffs that add +20 buffs to our bar is really annoying.

I feel like guild wars 2 locked in with specific currencies

3. Hunting absolutely sucks; if I kill something, I should be able to have % chance to recover a carcass off my kill to skin. Hunting needs to be changed to "Taming" with a higher possibility for players to try and "tame" any creature. This is dumb to have "white" tamables that's used for skinning AND taming.

2. Caravans vanishing are a huge issue for most.

3. Issue where group members within your group become bugged and heals kill the player vs healing them. Can wipe a group easily.

4. Harvesting nodes need to despawn and reload if not harvested in x amount of time. This would hopefully help with entire areas being saturated by higher nodes that the area can't even harvest. It's painful finding anything other than wood.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Game is great keep up the good work.

2. The market is a good start, I love the stalls and how it feels like each player has a spot in city market. The issue is finding anything is made so difficult because the item search is based on the description and not the actual item names being sold. Games like FF14 provide a filter/search on the item names and it makes it much easier to buy and sell gear. They also allow searching by a gear type, tier, slot, etc and then providing a list of items fitting those filters (maybe that's not MVP), but st least allow us to search on item name OR the stalls description. Having to search through 6 cities and each one having 60+ sellers and trying to find specific gear is impossible. Can only imagine how this would feel with a full server.

3. Need LFG and Trade tabs added to chat window ui, as 90% of global is for those two things and it just mucks up chat and impossible to communicate with others about the world.

3. I think enemy player health percentages should be displayed 0-100% and not 25% hp increments, it's very difficult to tell who is worth hitting and who isn't.

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Certain players are exploiting war mechanics to gain undeserved advantages, undermining the intended competitive spirit. It's frustrating to see "freaks" employing such underhanded tactics—#Frauds. Addressing these exploits is vital to maintain fairness and player confidence in the system.

2. Players who aren't flagged or otherwise part of the engagement are interfering in caravan combat by healing or resurrecting participants. If this is intended behavior, it seems highly questionable, but fingers crossed it’s just an oversight.

3. WHY DOES MY WIFEY LOAD IN AS A NEW MODEL EVERYTIME I SEE HER? WHY DO I GO BALD RANDOMLY? MY IMMERSION #IMMERSIVEGAMERZ

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics: TIME TO LOCK IN. THIS IS THE WAY. #CAWKNITROSTYLE

1. The current design for caravan PvP feels deeply flawed. Eight players were able to defeat 15-20 opponents, but because of the current implementation, the bigger group "zombie swarmed" constantly until the caravan got to its end destination. This "zombie swarm" strategy reduces meaningful combat to a mana-draining grind for defenders. Furthermore, destroying a caravan with a 5-10 person group feels excessively tedious when attackers can continually respawn and rush the objective. Implementing cooldowns, penalties, or capped respawns could balance these encounters and make them more engaging.

2. Flagging for PvP currently lacks meaningful rewards, which leads to avoidance of open-world PvP in contested areas. Instead, players resort to griefing tactics, like training elite mobs onto others, especially in locations like Highwayman Hills. Adding rewards, such as a 10-20% experience bonus for flagged players, would provide a strong incentive and promote healthy PvP engagement in the open world.

3. The new areas, such as the desert and tropics, appear heavily skewed toward endgame players. This imbalance limits the sense of exploration and freedom, especially in a game that aims to foster a social MMO experience. Players should have the option to choose these regions early and enjoy low-to-mid level content. Over-focusing on high-level areas due to the alpha-testing rush could alienate future new players.

4. Crafting gives hardly any experience toward your adventurer level, making it feel entirely unrewarding for low-level players trying to progress. Why invest in crafting at all when it contributes nothing to your character’s overall growth? I fear players will be "forced" to grind their adventurer level to max before crafting. On top of that, grinding mobs seems to be the only effective way to level up adventurer XP. If this game is truly meant to be a social sandbox MMO, why can’t players level up by engaging in the activities they actually enjoy—whether it’s crafting, gathering, exploring, or socializing? This one-dimensional approach undermines the very essence of a sandbox MMO.

5. The marketplace system is overly restrictive and unintuitive. It’s frustrating that you can only browse storefronts by name or description instead of being able to search for specific items or materials directly. This makes finding what you need unnecessarily tedious and discourages efficient trading. A general listing system where players can search for items or materials directly would drastically improve usability and promote a healthier in-game economy.

4.) Crafting, resources and benefits of taking up a profession needs major balancing. Right now this system just benefits the huge zerg guilds with legions of farmers that wipe the map clean of copper, willow etc.
5.) Hunting System, balance of carcass vs trainable needs to be completely revamped. For example you get rarely get a bear carcass, almost always trainable bear. This, along with the scarcity of willow and other resources, makes level 10 crafting for tanner/leatherworker basically a waste of time with no benefit. Crafters should have a higher chance to get better quality materials to make better gear.

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Resources spawning in the ground, preventing collection (Willow Trees you can't chop in the ground but oak/ash you can? some mining resources can't gather b/c stuck in ground as well)
2. Caravan bugs - permanent disappearing, falling through the world and spawning at Carphin, collision bugging, losing caravans on a run for no rhyme or reason
3. PvP bug x 2 (purple) flagging shown when the player isn't actually PvP flagged, allowing a player to flag up and kill them, resulting in that player becoming corrupted. The "rules" of pvp should allow for a player to be killed when purple without corruption. Secondly, caravan defense/attack "buff" staying after caravans are turned in allowing for no penalty when killing. No purple flag occurs.
4. Higher tier gathering tools, perhaps the purple axe in particular, do not yield a noticable different in higher quality resources. Resources appear to be spawn bound not player quality tool bound
5. Heals do not Crit but there is a Healing Crit Power attribute

1. Leveling multiple weapon skill tress and keeping them in your bag to gain the benefits of all procs and pen/crit/damage from all of them at all times after unequipping, giving you a massive unfair advantage over others.
2. Melee desync in high player count pvp battles to the point that fighter abilities entirely stop registering on targets in guild wars.
3. Tanks abusing a mitigation bug to become immortal in combat or take nearly 0 damage from 5+ players hitting them.

5. Memory Leak. This is not something I want the team to copy from ArcheAge. 🙂

1. Increase the maximum guild size to at least 100 without node buffs, this is an MMORPG and even in this early alpha state you are crippling the "MMO" part of the game.
2. Make the combatant state unable to drop while being hit by a player, resulting in corruption from someone that engages you but plays a class that can run away for 30 seconds after nearly losing or runs into a stack to bait attackers as their combatant status falls.
3. Remove the gear drop from level 1 corruption so players have reasonable recourse when a hostile group engages them in the various emergent behavior that isn't flagging and refuses to do so, thus baiting corruption or pushing you entirely out of the game space. (Or entirely cut the corruption system in favor of a criminal/jail/bounty hunter system wink wink)

2. Caravan issues. Many have explained in depth.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. XP Debt and loot loss needs to be looked at for tanks. I would recommend letting the party cleric's rez restore all to that player. Tanks cannot play as intended or they will simply always be at a loss.
2. Corruption/Flagging needs to last WAY longer. Someone can steal your loot and by the time you get back they are unflagged. Even chasing people for barely any time they just ride away until unflagged. This should last a good bit longer to be in line with the size of the world.
3. Corruption should stack like a penalty system if you really want it to be punishing.
4. Need an easier way to flag that isn't just having it always able to attack other players. Just a simply UI button to press would be sufficient.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:
1: Lack of gear variety. It's not really clear what constitutes gear for what roles other than a somewhat clear delineation between caster and physical gear.
2: Caravans should inherently favor the defenders, not the attackers. If there isn't some 'oomph' to give defenders some mild edge, people wont bother running them.
3: The game needs some sort of dueling / skirmishing system so that people can practice PVP absent any PVP penalties for dying.
4: More attention should be paid to getting solo players introduced to a community that suits them.

1. Agro tables - constant trains with no ability to defend yourself against a hostile action
2. Search of marketplace only pics up on store description not items
3. Loot bugs - not sure origin, but after deaths or maybe when two people try to loot an item, looting becomes bugged and you arent able to loot your own corpse
4. Group loot appears to become bugged also and drops stop happening, ive heard this may be due to level range - the level range should also be expanded to 5ish levels, most people shoot for a 3 lvl range atm
5. Corruption happening while healing someone with the zombie debuff

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Corruption/PVP system needs work - too many loopholes to be hostile without flaggingg at all - pvp should not be a penalty, this will discourage people from fighting - i think the corruption system should be paired back to just stat debuff, larger xp debt, and main inventory drops not worn gear - current drop rates make corruption 100% avoided in your primary gear, and people just troll in troll gear. Another idea is a lvl Tier system like EQ2 - any hostile pvp in tier is no corruption, swinging down a tier is always corruption.
2. Resource inventory - even harvesting just mining nodes, even just as an apprentice, if you hit all t1/t2 nodes the various nodes and rarities quickly fill current bag sizes before having to delete stuff
3. Open loot timeout and need/greed timer - currently if you dont loot mid fight on chain pulling, loot opens to free loot in group and things get taken regularly
4. Death penalty deleting resources - everything should be on corpse lootable, stuff should not dissappear into the ether not recoverable.
5. The game is amazing. Keep crushing it. Stay involved in the community, keep your candor. **I forgot my biggest feedback - we need VOIP. Non debatable. It makes the game a world.

3. weeping willow hitbox is too small, several of them spawn under the terrain and are ungatherable

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. the caravan flagging system is awful, please let the party lead flag the whole group or something, its terrible to contest a carvan while also dropping group to flag attacker/defender
2. the lack of resources available for lumberjacks in particular and how the spawning system works, ive pretty much given up on the best part of the game for me as a carpenter as its just not worth spending 3 hours to find 4 willow trees, on top of that the fact that resources respawn at the same spot same rarity at every reset is a terrible mechanic, as people are just setting a 4 hour timer and coming back to immediately cut the high rarity trees
3. the healing debuff applied by mobs, its a terrible mechanic even without the bug that causes it to damage instead of not heal, theres a reason even wow doesn't do 100% heal cut and only does 50% in 99% of scenarios

[spice oak]

======================
Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Heroic+ hunting carcasses are extremely rare. This has rendered a lot of the early game crafting for gear to be completely obsolete compared to accessible gear drops.

2. Enemy NPCs getting stuck. This is too easily exploitable and should be fixed asap. A similar side effect is that enemy NPCs can be dragged away and don't leash back to their original location which makes target farming certain enemy NPCs difficult.

3. Caravans going out of bounds or despawning/not registering the correct location. Since this is a big part of the game caravans should be made stable.

4. Treasure maps bugging out so that player are completely bricked and cannot accept more treasure map quests.

5. Inventory sync issue. Sometimes inventory does not update properly for example when putting the items in material storage even though the game registers the item was transferred it still shows it in the material bag and requires either relogging or mount/dismounting to update.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Effective aggro tables that minimize griefing. Player 'training' enemy NPCs into other players is extremely aggravating system.

2. Auto-weapon swapping. It's frustrating that after auto-swapping triggered by melee ability, it then auto-swaps back to range. Please add options to prevent idle auto-swapping.

3. Add alternatives to getting high quality mats to address scarcity. Perhaps expand the capabilities of processing profession for means of guaranteeing quality upgrade procs.

4. Carphin is extremely laggy.

5. Hunting placeholder needs to have the actual system implemented asap. At this rate a lot of the early hunting balance with the actual system won't get tested since people will already have upgraded their hunting to high levels in the existing system.

1. Hold EVERY single cheater and exploiter accountable(as Steven said he would) and permanently ban everyone who is a repeat offender!
2. Caravan system needs some way to recover or repair a lost caravan. loosing the cargo, every piece of your caravan, your beast of burden, the time invested in the run, and likely earning xp debt when the aggressors blow it up and kill you, is just punishment on top of punishment, on top of punishment. the carts are way too slow and way to easy to kill, and there is nothing in place to disuade aggressors from screwing over other players(especially the ones that spend the gold/resources to craft their caravans). Maybe a system like ArcheAge had where your cart goes on a long cooldown if blown up would work. Or maybe there could be a way to recover the base materials of the caravan components, that you could then take back to town and craft into a new caravan.
3. resource node dispertion throughtout the world, and chance at rarity are way off. some areas are choked with t1 resources and that's all you see, and others with t3 that nobody can gather, with t2 being almost completely non-existant.

[half drum]

1.) Fix your Ue5 Memory Leak Issue, which forces players to restart the game/client every hour or change the engine. FPS drops every time to nothing making the game unplayable with 10fps... on the same note.. give us the option to TURN OFF ALL EFFECTS ETC... this just creates even more lag. Performance is horrible throughout the game.. Just walk into any town and Carphin for that matter..
2.) XP Loss and the deletion of 25% of all resources upon death is pure trolling and simply a triple waste of time, xp loss, item loss, way time.
3.) PVP Mechanics favor the zerg and can be abused, as in players Flagging in order to CrowdConrol , attacking and nearly kill and make it so the players dies from monsters. Which wouldnt be the worst part. The worst part is that you are flagging for everyone just to kill this one CRIMINAL or MURDERER.. What logic is there to be criminal when attacking a Murderer, just so you get killed without a penalty.. Defeats the whole purpose of being red. If i can just have 10 blue healers behind me while i slaughter everyone. You wonder why 90% of the reports are about griefing? That is why... DR OBV. You like competition do you ?
4.) Grouping System not existant, Ignore list fits 100 players, General CHAT ONLY!
5.) Monsters leash, lag warp around and are getting pulled all over the dungeons then end up being stuck somewhere. Resulting in no spawn for a day. The PVE is more griefing than the PVP in this game

It appeared to increase my tax rate by 1 receipt for the level, but instead of asking for 1, it asked for the entire amount again for same period of time already paid.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Exploits and being subjected to watching individual players and entire guilds gain advantages from doing this. Seeing that only the most severe ‘might’ get penalized while all those that only cheated a moderate or small amount are allowed to keep the unfair advantage is a slap in the face to those that refrained from this behavior. When you take action, remove the gold and items from their alts and players they feed to for storage.

2. Fix corruption. Specifically gaining corruption for hitting a mount during pvp (players use them intentionally) and corruption that results from a player turning off pvp and going to non-combat status mid fight where someone that was mid cast ends up killing them and going red. A timer is great, just make sure the timer stays on ‘x’ amount of time 'after combat stops’ and cannot be taken off during a fight. Even 30 seconds without contact would suffice. More open world PVP would take place if these two things are fixed.

3. Market place QOL improvements. Marketplace is a big part of this phase so please make it more user friendly by providing the ability to search for items by name (not just those listed in shop title) and provide the ability to manually put in a page number rather than having to scroll through a hundred pages to get to something.

4. View distance rendering needs to be greater.

5. Rollback on server reset. Lost a really nice boss weapon drop I won and had equipped. Server crashed and rolled back, resulting in the loss of the weapon. People will be livid if this happens after launch.

4. Add more freeholds. Only 8 freeholds on something that should be decently tested is low in my opinion and makes it hard for lots of players to get the freehold benefits.
5. Guild storage, with lots of crafting and resources in the world. and wanting the game to have a social aspect to it, guild storage needs to be a phase two things, even if a basic chest or stash that can be upgraded at storage clerk.

Top Bugs:

1. Caravan issues
2. Inventory bugs
3. Bugged mobs, especially mobs that don't leash and/or mission or unique mobs.

Top Feedback topics:

1. Activities other than killing mobs/grinding board missions need to be in place for players to gain class experience. Doubly so because of the mob issues and respawn times. Triply so because even participating in events you aren't guaranteed xp if you don't get tags on mobs. Tagging system could literally be it's own feedback topic.
2. Talent synergy for classes mostly feels good, there's comboing/cycling across classes at the very least. Weapon talents and movement talents feel boring and stale.
3. Equipment is difficult to come by in the early game, especially for the impact it has on gameplay and self-sustainability.
4. Combine these top 3 and it highlights new player enjoyability of the gameplay loop is going to be difficult to retain. Engagement is going to be key and these things are not fleshed out enough in the current state.

#1: Resource distribution in the world needs to be cranked up substantially. There’s no way a guild of 50 people should be opting to enchant gear because not even 10 people can get crafted gear due to lack of resources.

#2: Disable the ability to unflag for PVP while in combat, since corruption baiting is a big issue.

#3: Fix freeholds, but limit the number of X harvestable allowed in one. Shouldn’t be able to plant entirely willow trees etc.

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Treasure map quests not being completed or abandoned before they "time out" causing a character to be permablocked from using maps (yes I'm one of them that can't use maps)
2. Server Worker rubber banding and general database lag (inventory issues of moving things from backpack to town etc)
3. Higher Quality gathering tool buffs don't seem to do much. Specific example I have a blue quality apprentice axe that has a buff to quantity gathered and a speed buff. It appears as I still take 5 hits to chop adolescent trees and ~10 for adult trees I still get 2 per adolescent and 5 per adult.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Hunting is by far one of the worst I've tried to level 1-10 either make gatherable mobs spawn more often or increase XP gain for gathering critters to make the levelling speed similar to other harvesting skills
2. I'd recommend looking at Rift or Wildstar for how to make housing work
3. Increase the spawn rate/node count of absolutely needed resources ie. copper, zinc, willow, keeping the rarity chances lower is fine but just the basic white nodes should be more plentiful

1. The party XP bug. It made it really hard to want to keep playing when we had to keep logging in and out of the game.
2. Named mobs not spawning? It seemed like some of the commission board blue & green commissions were not spawning.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Beware of making Freeholds like FF14's system. Player housing is finally coming to WoW too. Ashes should be aware of the different systems out there and make sure that every player has at least basic access (maybe limit how many plots of land they can use for planting etc). This has been a huge feature that the wow community has been waiting for. I want ashes to thrive and be competitive. For example - Garrisons in WoW sucked in my experience.. especially since they just left it. They could have built upon that. Star Wars Galaxies had a fun housing system and guild leaders could create towns.
2. Player pvp opt in - Please keep it. I want to PVP but getting my stuff looted when I'm grinding level 3 Goblins is old. I am looking forward to world pvp eventually.
3. Mobs and players dumping mobs on my head. Report player feature will hopefully be added at some point or a hit list for in game bounties.
4. I did not play Alpha 1, but I am here to see Ashes until the end. It was hard to figure out where to turn in my quests or where to find some of the quest items. Consider the good ol ? or making a npc glow please.
5. LFG channel would be nice. I love the main chat but I cannot read the actual convos that make a community .. a community.. because spam of lfg haha.

*note I have not tested Caravans at all due to people reporting how broken they are. That would make me nerd rage a bit and I know my limits. 🙂

   -At the moment it is low risk high reward for attackers as they have no cost to attack other than time. Yet the driver stands to lose the whole caravan and all their goods.
   -Penalty for destruction should be less, maybe be able to repair the caravan, and there should be some penalty for the attacker if they fail.

Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Without a Doubt this has to be the Attainability of Certain Resources like Raptor Hides for example, some thing's just have an absolutely miniscule amount of Attainability and its seriously crazy difficult to progress along with some things let alone try to get these resources for some Crafted Items etc.

2. Caravans ... There is a crazy amount of work that could be worked on in Caravans but particularily the worst are the ability to participate in Caravans without actually joining the Defense or Attack ... What do i mean by this ?, as a Cleric I can have my team attack a Caravan and if I Do Not Join the Attacking Team, I can heal all Attackers without Repercussions this works both ways ... this happens ALOT when teams are defending or attacking caravans, Also some QOL Fix for Joining the Attack or Defense on Caravans such as if I'm the leader of the group and i press Attack it should pull all my Team Mates into the Attacking Team.

3. One of the Key Factors in this Game and alot of MMO's alike is just Killing Monsters and finding nice little niche spots to enjoy with your team and get a good vibe down etc, I come across so many Bugged Monster Spawns its absolutely crazy ... there is some locations where everything will be fine then an hour later there is maybe one third of the monsters left in these locations and they do not respawn correctly if at all ... this happens alot in Steel Bloom and other very Intensive Spots when it comes to the amount of Monsters within certain locations atleast off of my personal experience.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Some Clarity on Level Brackets would be Greatly Appreciated, for example ... what does it mean when a Monster has a Orange Name, Red Name, Blue Name, Baby Blue Name etc ... How does it Affect Loot, How Does it Affect Exp, Is there Specific Level Disparity's that you must be within to get Loot, if there is then is it based off the Specific Players Level or the Average of the Group etc etc ... alot of these would add so many layers of Information to better inform everyone so we can better understand the loot systems and experience systems in this game.

2. Im Aware that we do not necessarily want to be carrying materials across the map especially with the future scale of the game etc and that the Caravans true use will be to also move large amount of resources, however Please oh god Please consider some sort of Home Recall System of sorts or Citizen Recall to a Town with a Substantial Cooldown of course (without any materials in the bags for example), it just adds such a massive Quality of Life to Players Time and Decisions.

3. Consider the Use of the Ocean in the center of the map to be More Widely Considered than just a massive Invisible Wall, its extremely fun to find caravans as rafts trying to do efficient routes and you catch them in unusual spots the PvP that comes from it is insanely fun, possibly consider some really terrifying monsters in the Ocean Parts to detour solo rafts of sorts without escorts, or something of the sorts, thanks Kindly for going through my Little Essay Above.

1. Tanning takes 5x as many materials to level than other processing professions due to the 1-5 ratio of processing. This makes it considerably difficult to level up, blocking access to materials for armor crafters.

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Non-harvestable Weeping Willows (or other trees)
2. Storage bugs
3. Caravan bugs

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Spending an hour to find zero copper, weeping willow, or other harvestables is not fun and really makes one feel defeated. For copper specifically, having to clear an entire area of gratine/basalt and waiting around for respawns is just not a good design. It requires spending hours in the same general area waiting for node respawns and hoping copper or zinc respawns. If you leave early all of your effort goes to people wandering into your area after you leave. It's just not good gameplay.
2. Seeing a world filled with T2 and T3 resources for days/weeks until the tools needed to harvest those resources finally become available and within an hour all of those resources are rarely seen again.
3. Armor itemization should be more class specific. I really dislike light armor being the magic defense armor, medium being balance defense, and heavy being physical defense. I'm a dwarf, I want to wear heavy armor as all good dwarves should but the difference between fighting a physical mob vs a magical mob is pretty darn huge, and this isn't even touching on PVP. I want there to be "cleric" gear that drops that everyone in the party says, "Yup, that is cleric gear....no reason for a ranger to roll on it!". Right now basically every single piece of gear that drops can be worn by everyone.
4. Attributes need to be reworked. As a cleric I should focus on WIS gear but WIS is basically worthless. INT directly affects my healing power whereas WIS directly affects how often I crit. I cannot be a good healer hoping that I get large critical heals. It is far better to have higher average healing. Total mana is simply not an issue right now so who cares about Mentalilty. So redo attributes. Int for casters, Wis for healers, Mentality...well just redo mentality.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Market Stalls lack all but the most basic functionality. I very much like the idea behind not having an auction house, but not being able to search for even an item type makes selling or buying on the marketplace frustrating. Perhaps if the auction house in economic nodes were already available it would be better, and maybe more trades are happening than expected and its lack of functionality is a feature. In its current state it is frustrating to have to sift through 5 pages of stores that do not sell what they are advertising.
2. Nodes spawn resources that nobody can possibly gather. I believe if gatherables were tied to node level we would have a far more manageable pile of spawns
3. looking for group chat, trade chat, or matchmaker for open world dungeons would be most excellent, at the moment its dificult to have a conversation because of LFG and sale posts in global.

My computer is RIGHT at minimum required specs, and phase 1 I had zero issues logging in. Sure, sometimes lots of lag while playing, but didn't have trouble getting or staying connected. The current connection issues have meant that I have only played about 1/4 of the time I would have played otherwise. I just kinda do housework and click connect over and over until I finally get in. I realize this is likely due to my maching just being too old and crust, but I also dont understand how I can have had such a different experience between Phase 1 and Phase 2.

2. Loot/inventroy issues. I kept having to relog to fix inventory bugs so that I could move items and materials. I became bugged quite a few times

3. Monsters resetting mid-fight. Specificially, some of the goblin shamans in and around oakenbane keep kept resetting.

5. Holding active defense and switching weapons bugs outgoing damage.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. World bosses and war declarations being exploited by large guilds.
2. Server lag during massive pvp or during massive concentration of players.
3. Corruption is too punitive. Had more fun grinding and fighting for spots on the first weekends of testing in Phase 1.
4. Tank Archetype needs revision. Skills like Vengeance, Shield Assault, Tomahawk and Tremoring Bellow are underperforming.
5. Hunting profession needs more work on the gameplay loop.

Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Resource spawning into terrain features making them unable to be gathered
2. Caravans. People have talked about this enough. I would prioritize getting the base working first and then add on to it. (Fix the main bugs with running a caravan first then fix the PvP system.
3. It seems that gathering resource rarity upgrades seem to be broken. Legendary axe, Legendary shirt and Pants and still barely getting anything above UC.
4. Server Stability issues. Crossing Server Workers still seems to be extremely rough and causes all sorts of problems.
   Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:
5. Make the processing and crafting system more variable. Only being able to choose 1, 5, 10,25, 50, 100, 250 is annoying. This could just be a variable you type in if you want. I know the crafting system is not fully online but this should be "easy" to fix.
6. Having exploiters either reset or otherwise dealt with quickly. It sets a bad precedent if you leave them alone for to long.
7. Prioritize finishing systems over bug fixes. I think it was said before but its better to test ONE system that is full of bugs and glitches then trying to test FIVE systems that are full of bugs and glitches. If I was to pick the priority of the systems I would focus on I would choose 1.) Resource Spawning. 2.) Caravans 3.) Corruption System 4.) Node development. TL;DR Pick a system and squash all of the bugs that are in that system before moving onto / releasing the next system.

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Many gatherable items are bugged inside rocks or don't work at all, i.e. Willow trees buried deep inside rocks and cannot be cut. They are already a rare spawn, Copper nodes need to be more plentiful to get out of first tier crafting and gathering. Having so few makes them even more rare and causes a severe shortage of materials and bottleneck that prevents progression.

Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Corruption baiting - if you're currently in combat with someone you should not be able to exit combat until atleast being out of combat for a few seconds.
2. Healing outside of wars / caravan events. you should not be able to heal another player in a war / caravan event you're not involved in while you're unable to be killed without the attacker going corrupt.
3. Gatherables being in areas you can't access, under the ground, inside trees / rocks.
4. Ranger camoflage not working / you can't see your nameplate while stealthed but other players can.
5. damage mitigation on tanks, not sure what part of their kits bugged, but their magic mitigation is a lot higher than the 25%.
6. market is messy. scrolling through 100 pages and unlabelled descriptions to find items is no good.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Devs giving awy top tier items - lower tier sure. but the best or unobtainable items is not fair.
2. Letting exploiters get away with crap way too long instead of addressing it as soon as possible to reduce the impact on rest of server.
3. implement a /report feature ingame similar to the /bug system.

• 1. Inventory not updating and stopping pickup of items, having to remount horse to fix or relog
• 2. Game lockups/freeze
• 3. Mob aggro mechanics leading to trains

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

• 1. Rarity of hunting creatures (animal fat and carcass rarity for high tier crafting)
• 2. Gathering tools getting replaced when updated, so you can't select the best tool (high rarity tool variant from previous tier just lost, so you lose the ability to benefit from that difficult to craft item for lower tier gathering). You have to update to start working on new tier. But I don't want to due to effort I put in to make the previous tool. When replaced put into inventory? Let us swap?
• 3. Quest items need to go until quest inventory
     ‐ 4. Rarity bonus for crafting does so little. Need to be reviewed.
• 5. Mob aggro mechanics. Something to make training move onto groups risky for the trainer. Less easy to drop aggro on others who haven't interacted.

   ======================

[trim drum]

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

**1. **Healing bug - clerics and bards are going corrupt whilst healing teammates that have the debuff applied by thaumaturges etc. It seems to turn the heals into damage. Somehow it also inverts other various stats like xp debt occasionally.

**2. **Mobs getting bugged inside buildings/terrain causing areas to lagg and be unplayable. Most critically, this seems to be really bad in Carphen tower. A 2nd part of this issue is that mobs from the bottom floor will teleport up to the top floor chasing you, allowing bards to pull them into groups of players, then drop their aggro and grief an entire party.

**3. **Weapon perks are proccing when they shouldn't. People are getting every weapon and training it up so that when they use a shortbow, for example, they will get perks activating from weapons they don't even have equipped. This is a major problem and causes huge inequities in pvx, as well as skewing the data/statistics for progression rates in every way.

**4. **Players can log out when their caravan is being attacked and it will disappear after about 10 - 15 mins.

**5. **Some artisan gear e.g., leatherworking shirts, seem to make rarity/quality of the collected resources worse, or simply do not improve the quality of processed/crafted items/equipment/tools as intended.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

**1. **War rewards being farmed and exploited - guilds hosting false wars to farm rewards etc. This has caused a massive disparity in levels, gear, and money. It has also caused inflation on the value of basic resources - so the economy on Vyra is FUBAR right now.

**2. **Guild size limits are too small.

**3. **Loot distribution isn't fun. It's causing more drama than joy. Classes need more stat-specific item drops that make them the clear beneficiary of an item, as opposed to all casters and all phys bickering over drops. As it is, casters see healing power rating and go "So what?"

[sweet valley]

1. Inventory bug (items being invisible and you can't interact with the items without relogging or mounting. crafting benches can't even see them)
2. Caravan exploits (especially unflagged healers healing caravan pvp enabled players)
3. Gatherables (especially willow) spawning inside rocks, or just as not harvestable (even outside the desert)

[stoic remnant]

Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Constantly having to relog to pick up items, move items in bags, or put things in storage.
2. Trees growing out of rocks or under the ground making them unchoppable and floating mining nodes
3. Rubberbanding

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. There is no real way for smaller groups to hold their own. Numbers wins every time.
2. Crafting is very unrewarding for the amount of time and effort it takes. Leveling a crafting artisan almost requires dedicated gatherers to funnel you resources, and by the time a craftsman finds the recipes, collects the raw materials, and makes a piece of gear, everyone out-levels it and gets better gear from grinding mobs. Processing artisans like lumbermilling and stonemasonry are significantly easier due to the abundance of wood and stone resources compared to metalworking or animal husbandry not to mention the massive gold investment animal husbandry requires. The only way to get the money for it is caravans which is a whole other mess of problems.
3. It makes absolutely no sense for an adolescent tree to cause more durability loss on an axe than an adult tree. It's a smaller tree that takes less swings to fell and yields less wood, so why does it do more damage to my axe? If the point is to incentivize chopping adult trees, I think capping the rarity of wood gathered from adolescent trees would be more appropriate.

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Lag. Mobs will pop right in your face or be nowhere near you. Bam. U ded.
2. Spells not working (hitting mobs or players) as intended or at all on occasion.
3. Having login issues still. Usually takes 2 times after game closes by itself to work.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Lag is the main issue for Oce players. I'd love to play and test without the rubber banding. Apart from that it's holding up well considering.
2. Perhaps hire some more talent to speed up workflow?
3. You guys have done an amazing job so far, keep up the good work and godspeed

Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. SWs lagging and causing issues in open world dungeons (ToC, CotSB, BF, CotSS, etc)
2. Caravans as a whole. Many others have listed the numerous bugs already.
3. Fix Dunir Shields please lol

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. The toxicity and griefing issues are large and widespread. I know you've said that corruption is 'scaled up for testing' but i believe the way it is should be the norm. perhaps even made more harsh.
2. The questing system really needs some love.. if quests were reliable and working in a testable state it would spread people out a little more, we wouldn't be basically forced to mob grind our levels. It feels very everquest right now, which isn't inherintly a bad thing but the quests need attention. i know story arcs are coming later but i seperate those from the typical quests we'll encounter.
3. Mob leashing and aggro mechanics for sure. the fact we can get trained on and slaughtered and nothing is done about it so far is disheartening.

[remote zealot]

Bugs

1. Caravans. Despawns, teleporting, visuals of guarding or attacking staying on. Multiple crashes (memory leaks?)
2. Clerics gaining corruption on resurrections (they die after rez)
3. Inventory/Looting. Body shines, can't loot. Change loot from bag to storage visually doesn't move
4. Losing HP over time from certain mobs

Feedback
1 : Better spawns for tier 1 metals (Copper most and Zinc)
1.a : More animal spawns for tanning/leatherworking
basically the only thing I didn't have a problem finding were Trees and Basalt
2. Incentives to Guard caravans (besides the quest)
3. less time on crafting. When I want to craft I don't just want to mass gather to wait a couple of hours then do my process. the more I have to wait on every step of the process except for the final product I feel less motivated to craft (I am just not a fan of crafting in general WoW crafting is my speed)

[lucid frigate]

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Game randomly crashing, particularly on lower spec PCs
2. Correctly working node vassal system
3. Mobs being able to be trained on to other parties to cause griefing

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Too many people for the server size. Either we need more servers or a bigger world
2. Make crafting more worthwhile - begin by removing craftable items from vendors, or drastically increase their price
3. Significantly increase quest/commission rewards to make them worthwhile and make solo play viable
4. Artisan skill trees/specialization
5. Different gatherables in different biomes that contribute to specific recipes or buy orders. This would encourage a lot of trade and specialization and is my number one feature I'm looking forward to in the game.

[cyan bane]

Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

1. World Boss Bugs:
   Currently, there is a critical issue where World Bosses respawn automatically upon server restarts or mesh crashes. This allows guilds to farm them multiple times a day, leading to severe imbalances in server conflicts. We suggest adjusting the respawn system to preserve the unique and strategic impact of World Boss encounters.

2. Overly Punitive Corruption System:
   The corruption mechanic is overly harsh, which incentivizes griefing behavior. A proposed solution would be to place World Boss habitats in PvP zones, fostering real and healthy competition for the game’s best rewards. This would create a fair and strategic environment for players.

3. Sterile and Lifeless Areas:
   There are vast portions of the map that feel barren and underutilized. Adding NPC tribes, wild beasts, or even zombies to these areas would encourage small groups or solo players to explore more. This would add purpose and excitement to the immense world.

We are excited to see the continued progress in development and look forward to contributing further to make Ashes of Creation a truly legendary experience!

[torn bear]

1. Bug where you stop getting xp.

2. Memory leaks

3. Caravan bugs

4. Tools not being items and being overwritten. Can still be nontradeable, but let me pick my which tool fits situation best.

5. Hunting rarity

6. Chat system QoL, IE click on party tab puts you in party chat.

[round gazelle]

1- Can't use Treasure Map anymore after using one in first day, and not doing it, no quest left but still can't use them

2- Inventory frozen / stops updating, need a restart every time

3- I'm not sure how, but someone passed me while I was gathering (non corrupted) casted a song or spell, and immediately gave me corruption. (exploit?)

4- Lots of broken quests. Also quests should spew their items in the quest inventory tab, not fill my regular bag up. (Namely the church of the nine quest) this happens when I have met the objective and the items continue to drop on mobs.

Feedback

Need more spawns of copper/ruby/zinc. I pass miles of T2 and granite/basalt nodes. Also more spawns of flax and possibly introduce wild cotton?

Mobs teleport around when pulling them and appear far away but really they are on top of you. Upon death the loot piles transport to where the were rendered to vs where they actually were killed.

Some gatherables and some mounts spawn at unreachable points on the map. Either under ground, hovering, or on mountains that have no access. (Pallas Cat)

How much is citizenship tax supposed to be? Level 14 and my tax is 153 tax docs? Is that right?

Town items should be universal. I should not have to "deal" with the items for a town my guild has chosen as home.

Add ability to right click names in chat to: invite to guild/group/friend-ignore list.

Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. High rarity hunting seems to be impossible
2. Zombie healing debuff causes people to take damage from healing, this can also cause corruption if the heal kills
3. Mobs teleport after you and leash heavily then don't return to their spawns
4. Arsonist style mobs ignore aggro and oneshot backline.
5. Teleport to carphin bug during caravans

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. The exp rewarded for certain styles of crafting I.E. Weaponsmithing is not commensurate with the rarity and the volume of material needed for the craft. (1200 copper for weaponsmithing vs 600 zinc armorsmithing)
2. The current corruption system is too punishing and prevents fighting over spawns, this rewards zergs and incentivises mob training (Early corruption should not cause you to drop equipment)
3. The guild wars system is overly expensive and only viably accessible to large zerg guilds. Coupled with the punishing corruption system our guild has only been able to engage in PvP a couple of times in several weeks.
4. There aren't enough of certain hunting spawns (Raptors) making it very easy for the few spawns there are to be controlled by a handful of players.
5. Upcrafting is too difficult to achieve
   ======================

[prisma cairn]

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

• 1. Caravans disappearing, wasting player gold. Disappearing from caravan master list. Player getting teleported to carphin on SW change and not being able to recover it. Caravan disappearing between raft / wagon and not be recoverable.
• 2. Being able to log out and making your under attack caravan disappear.
• 3. Not being able to join caravan attack / defense while in a party - forcing players to re-organize a party as they get pvp flagged.
• 4. Healing a target with a curse debuff kills the healing target and makes you corrupt. You should not be going corrupt in this instance. Just disable healing outside raid or party when cursed to prevent griefing.
• 5. Variety of states and systems stop updating. Can't pick up loot off the ground and have to relog. Can't move things in your inventory and have to relog. Not getting exp and have to relog. Can't see or leave party and raid so have to kick someone, or change between party and raid. Party and raid memebers not showing up on the map, have to toggle icons in the legend to briefly see them. ETC.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

• 1. Crafting is too expensive and / or material quantities in the world need to be adjusted based on population. Currently it is way too expensive to buy high tier mats and craft even level 10 gear at heroic+
• 2. More server workers need to be added to POIs until dynamic gridding is added.
• 3. Players that are exploiting need to be punished and reset. It's undermining the testing environment when guilds exploiting wars have bought up the majority of freeholds, got to 25 the fastest and we're able to freely grind gear way ahead of the curve. Now they can freely run caravans, snowballing those undue advantages.

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. 525 error. our guilds metalsmith and tank can't log into character on lyneth.
2. bag /inventory issues with items not showing until relog
3. weapons and shields becoming invisible

[graceful tapir]

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Caravan stuck deploying and unable to buy any new caravan. This means that you can no longer do caravans on that character permanently till this is fixed.
2. Hunting rarity. Legendary and epic doesn’t exist compared to any other gathering
3. Weapon skill trees being active even without equipping the weapon. You can be getting daze effect from a mace and not have a mace equipped. And some weapon skills don’t work even with points placed into them. You have to respect your weapon to enable things to work properly.
4. Exploiting pvp flagging to bait people into corruption. There is a way to down flag from pvp right before you die to cause a person to go corrupt. There is also a way to kill people without getting corruption
5. Being teleported to a random location off of your caravan on occasion. This has happened to some people dozens of times and continues to happen every couple caravans.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. There is no risk to attackers on caravans. People can suicide over and over at a caravan with no penalty and no loss. Defenders stand to lose everything with the risk of having the caravan, but the attackers have everything to gain. They can grief a caravan by just auto attacking to slow the caravan the whole way without even trying to destroy it.
2. Players are able to heal flagged players in pvp events like caravans, guild wars, and node wars without being flagged themselves. This can lead to an impossible to win fight without forcing someone to go corrupt to kill the healers that don’t go pvp flag for the event.
3. This is a social game, but the friends list resets and guilds are absolute bare bones. For a social game these 2 things needs to be more developed.
4. Corruption is overly punishing with no way to get rid of it without just dying. There is no need to have reduced stats, because it should be on the group hunting the corrupt target to band together to kill them. Being marked on the map just for one kill causes everyone to target you immediately and have no time to even try to clear the corruption without being killed. This leads to finding a hidden place to kill yourself to mobs or log out and wait for someone you know to come kill you to save your gear. No one kills mobs to clear corruption! There should be more options for a corrupt person to open this up to a potential gameplay route someone might want to pursue like being a pirate/bandit. You can’t do this if you are instantly marked on the map for doing a single bad thing and having reduced stats.
5. Having rarer resources in lawless zones to contest over would add risk/reward and content to those areas. Right now there is next to no reason to ever go to lawless areas.

Top bugs:

1. caravans, caravans, caravans. I’ve not had a single run where my caravan has not disappeared, or dipped into the ground, or just straight up poofed. For a caravan run where speed is important, I feel this puts a lot of people in danger

2. Unsure if considered a bug, but mobs in a lot of the contested POIs are very glitchy, citadel they’ll come through the walls, Forge, theyre not respawning properly, named mobs in Gravepeak are pulled and leashed to random locations only the leasher knows and let’s not talk about Carphin Tower.

3. Also unsure if bug, I am a cook, and the change to cows/chickens being items in inventory as compared to stacked materials in Phase I really fucks us. We cannot queue more than 50 cows at a time on the workbench because it’s simply not possible to have 250 cows in your inventory at the same time.

4. Treasures straight up not working makes it quite difficult to level up artisans.

Feedback topics

1. Exploits/Toxicity/Griefing in this game is quite rampant, either from lack of moderation over the weekend, or if the game is designed as such. Many players are quite tired of watching slurs and racially charged narrative in global chat. There’s also cases of people justifying Emberspring camping, do we have any response regarding this?

2. Caravans is probably most people’s bread and butter. Especially after caravans are nerfed gold-wise, this is probably something a lot of people are running. I ran a 12 caravan train and we didn’t get any PvP but lost 4 to bugs alone.

3. Freehold development. A lot of people spent a lot of money on Freeholds, wondering if it’ll get any love soon!

Top 3 bugs

1. Shield randomly is not present on my character even tho the inventory UI shows that it is. Visually on the character it is not, and also even though the arm is raised in a blocking stance, there is no shield there.
2. Wand is a 1 handed weapon, I would really like the ability to wield a wand and have a shield, I think it's a cool weapon design that is not seen often.
3. We should test more classes, or have mutli classing. Please focus on this........I know the balancing will be rough for it but, if you get this part right. This game will not die. Build diversity keeps player retention IMO.
4. XP needed to level for each level seems exponentially higher with each level. You go from I.E 10k needed at level 5 to 22K or something ridiculous. What im trying to say is, the leveling is a little TOO slow. I love grinding for hours and i like that type of slog but, this is a super slog sometimes. You might want to take a look into that....

Overall I love the game and am nervously excited as to what the future holds.

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Ranged Melee attacks on mobs that can hit you from afar this way. (really a problem for melee, makes moving virtually useless)
2. Mobs chasing you for very big distances, it allows people to pull almost entire location and then, if they manage to flee or die, mobs might just agro on a random player after, makes a mess. Let them reset.
3. Also, mobs teleporting mid some dash attacks or a chase is really unfair and doesn't seem like intended mechanic to me.
4. Caravan PvP flags terrible functionality in group.
5. Friendlist erasing people and showing just a few. Also, not really good update of statuses within.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. I think exploiters should be punished. All of those guys. Especially toxic (newbie killers on spawn, for example) and "competitive" ones. They are poisoning the community.
2. Azmaran isn't balanced as a node, cause there is no valuable points of interest and the worst is the fact that it functionally has two difficulties. 8-10 level mobs (eg. starting) and all the rest, like Scorpions with 21+ levels. No mid range there. which makes little to no sense.
3. Drops for equipment and spawn of resources make environment tough to test. Too much efforts and time are needed to test artisanship in particular.

1. Storage bugs resulting in relogging being necessary to either loot or see your items
2. Connection issues - time outs, rubber banding, lag deaths/fights
3. Mob training - using mobs to do your PvP for you so you can avoid corruption is a bug in my book

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Please please please accelerate the work on account wide storage - related, storage access at crafting stations
2. Resource node distribution to favor beginning resources in beginner areas.
3. Please allow mixing rarities on all recipes
4. Extend the time your loot remains after death. Related: Allow party members to pick up your loot without flagging PvP - perhaps as a toggled ability
5. Mob trains need to go away somehow

Rubberband when running / mounted (Steven said something about movement speed, but we don't have god mode speed.)
Can you make logs color coded for players? (Red for death, yellow for block, etc) This would help us a lot in finding combat related issues/bugs
Could we see a shield passive? I feel like this would help a lot with tank's mitigation problems.
People who loot bodies then get engaged on with pvp should be locked into pvp, I shouldn't go corrupt for my 20 silver worth of glint when their flag drops

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Server Worker Transition
2. Inventory and Looting
3. Caravans;

Party or raid leader should trigger for entire group attack or defend functions,

or

Players should be able to hit the button without dropping group.

Currently only the party leader can select attack or defend for themself and no one else is affected or has the option to opt in.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Remove random targeting of other parties not on the threat table.

Example: If a player grabs all the pyromancers at HH and runs out the Pyromancers should not stop and wipe a random party on their way out the door, they should only attack that player and their party/raid members or reset to their original location and full health. Pulling a train is the most common form of griefing seen in the game. Players deliberately do this to wipe parties, loot the corpses, and run away, when they should be the only one dead for their actions.

2. Sorting of the Marketplace by items and not player descriptions. Lump items more like an auction house.

3. More copper, zinc, and T2 mining nodes less basalt and granite

4. Fix rarity issues in the hunting profession.

2. Caravans being invincible during respawn protection timer
3. Can't make a new caravan cause its stuck deploying forever. ( i know of 3 people with this in our guild).
4. Party lead can't sign whole party / raid up to attack or defend a caravan.
5. Can't mix resource rarity tiers to do processing. + variable amount of inputs for rarity processing. Like processing 167 lumber instead of 100 or 250 flat numbers.

======================
Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Caravans (teleport to Carphin leaving caravan exposed to be attacked without defense, unrecoverable caravans when placed on SW borders, the caravan driver buff to reduce incoming damage is not being applied to auto-attacks, only abilities)
2. Scarce resource nodes spawning underground and in rocks making already scarce resources, non-harvestable.
3. Inventory and loot bugs where items cannot be looted from mobs or harvests or when interacting with storage, inventory items don't display properly.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Griefing. Training mobs or level 20+ attacking level 10 caravans runners seems too unbalanced. While this may be fine for release, PVP and griefing needs heavy penalties so that more things can be tested. It makes it difficult to test the systems in place as they cannot be explored because of the amount of griefing. PVP testing should come closer to release, not now.
2. Crafting and the materials needed to level crafting should be revisited. For example: creating fish filets could create a by product of cooking oil. I should be able to use fish fillets or other meats/foods as a compost to reduce the amount of droppings needed for farming. The interdependency between crafting professions seems okay, but the choice for materials on how each skill is leveled seems random and inconsistent. Lumberjacking and fishing are the easiest to level with an abundance of items to harvest. While herbalism and farming are rather difficult because of the single items that can be used to increase those skills.
3. Leveling pace from adventuring vs crafting/processing/gathering should be more balanced. Right now, adventures rush to max level while dedicated artisans crawl along.
   ======================

[dusk yew]

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

• 1. Inventory bugs, be it inability to loot, inability to transfer to storages, and all the rest. Relogging sometimes fixes, sometimes it continues immediately after, it just causes for constant restarting
• 2. Caravan issues, such as them disappearing and unable to recall them with beacons, dumping randomly in the mesh and teleporting you away, or running caravans in groups unable to defend other caravans as the events are caravans specific
• 3. Treasure maps bug out similarly to vendors in high density nodes, flickering in and out of existence which makes them impossible to be attained, and the quest should automatically finish when you pull the last of the inventory from the chest. I've also had treasure chests I've dug up, but we're unable to loot which I then tried relogging and it then turned back in to a mound which I was unable to interact with at all.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

• 1. The idea of mining nodes just being rocks with the chance to attain metals with them is by far a favorite idea. You could separate them by tiers, which then still has the scarcity of metals, but gives purpose to rocks other than for exp grinding to apprentice. Also incorporating rocks in to a use other than the few uses they have would be nice, especially some sort of consumable item so there isn't an excessive overabundance of rocks
• 2. As it stands mounts are only desirable for their base speeds, I think this is already an intention, but having a use for every mount should be considered, such as the skinwalker; it is such a beautiful mount but so slow it's never seeing use. Some should be tanky, some fast, the raptor is currently slower, but it does have a decent jump height which may be unintentional, but things like that bring purpose to other mounts.
• 3. Give respawn timers on all things more variability so you can't camp on something on a fixed timer as efficiently. Bosses, resource nodes, everything.

[steel gyro]

Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Weapon finishers bonues from skill trees stack across all leveled weapons, even when not active or even equipped. This imbalances and brings too much power to weapons than it should.

2. Inventory/Storage does not update upon item transfer or moving them around either's space. This can also have a follow up effect of items overriding and being deleted without a prompt if game crashes during an item movement in this state. We need to constantly relog, or fully restart game to remedy this.

3. Mob leash/reset. There are a lot of creatures in the world (and large portions of spawned enemies in indoor dungeons) that can get stuck in walls while people run to reset them. If you run with the same speed of the mob it resets normally, however, on the way back it can get stuck on walls. Another interesting bug which also gets mobs stuck is when players run too far from the creature in an area where the server meshing is active due to large amount of players. The mobs then appear to lose their target as the player may be on a server shard that is not connected with the one the creature is on (my understanding of it).

4. Gathering tools - this one might be an misunderstanding on the majority of the player base how it works, but right now rarity appears to get divided by large number meaning any rarity stat you get you're actually lowering your chances of getting anything.

• Proof: 1000 chopped trees with blue axe with rarity and without rarity of axe. Not a single log of above uncommon type chopped with rarity increase axe and quite a few (100+) logs of rare/heroic/epic/leg with the no rarity stat axe. This appears to be the case for all gathering tools.

5. Follow up on my 4th most important bug - Hunting stats appear to do absolutely nothing and most a carcass can drop is of rare quality (extremely rare). Having no rarity on the hunting bow does nothing so appears that Hunting does not function like the rest of the gathering skills.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. This is probably semi-bug reporting, but stability of the client can sometimes be lack luster and crashes being less frequent would be greatly appreciated.

2. I understand that holidays have kept most of the company from doing much work on the game and that's completely understandable. However, now that you're all back to cooking great stuff for us, it would be amazing if some actions are taken regarding mob griefing and communities/players abusing instead of reporting exploits. Most things that have been found out are reported, I am sure, as I have done quite a few, but people need to understand that exploits are meant to be found -> reported -> not used and there is no other cycle.

3. Caravan system in it's current state has absolutely no benefit for defenders. I understand that getting bodyguards should be something think about, since this system is not designed to purely put money in people pockets without risk, but the defender status should be revised.

4. Crafting/processing XP gains using higher rarity materials should yield more XP, same as how it works when higher rarity mats drop when gathering.

5. Rework the anti-heal debuff from mobs to apply a 99.9% reduction instead since inverting the healing into damage can cause corruption for people even in your own party. This is a bug/feedback in this case.

6. I fail to understand the need for XP dampening still working after max level (I am guessing since 25 is not maxed you get this and you shouldn't when at lvl50).
   ======================

I also would like to thank you for making such an amazing product so far and cannot wait to test/see what you got in store for us for Alpha 2 P2 and beyond.

======================
Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

• 1. Not being able to get drops from lower level mobs ie droppings, armour, weapons and glint
• 2. Mobs training onto other players
• 3. World bosses spawning after server reset

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

• 1. Not doing anything about the players that exploited guild wars to get gold and purchase majority of freeholds.
• 2. There Is not enough gatherables to level and still be enjoyable. Ie 5 copper nodes an hour and hardly any willows spawning ect. I'd rather more access to teir and 2 resources and more xp needed to level. I feel like runescape has a better levelling experience than ashes ATM.
• 3. Being able to sleep or stun players that are not flagged to get their group killed ect

[fleet depot]

======================
Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Some quests that have been in for a bit are still broken. There's one in Lionhold that involves talking to many NPCs and some of the NPCs just don't do anything when you interact with them.
2. Twice I've picked up gear that has triggered -999/-300 healing, so if I heal myself, I just die. I have to relog to fix it.
3. Mob pathing. Some mobs can hit you when they're no where near you.
4. I wasn't able to finish a Mayer commission and I'm not sure if it was because it's just bugged or it's level locked (i was level 9 but it's a lvl 10 quest). If it's level locked (EX: you have to be lvl 10 to turn in a lvl 10 quest), please indicate this.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Low level resources need to be more plentiful. The market place is a good idea, but when everyone is buying up copper, you're just right back to where you're starting from: wandering around in the wild, looking for copper.
2. We need gear for somewhere between levels 1-9, either dropped, made or bought. I get commissions that are around my level that are "go kill this thing" only for it to be my level, but two stars, so more powerful (which is understandable for a commission I feel) but I know with my low level gear, I won't be able to kill it, so it's back to grinding to level 10.
3. The EXP given for quests/mobs just doesn't feel like it makes much of a dent in leveling up after the early levels. It's a very bad grind.
4. The mounts you can level up to (like the wolf and bear) don't seem that much faster than the starting horse.
5. I'm hoping we get more skills when we can pick up our second archtype. I've seen the skill trees for some of the archtypes and they seem to stop gaining skills fairly early on.

[hollow sigil]

My top 3 issues with Alpha 2

1. Caravanning: A lot of bugs with unable to deploy, sell or just straight up disappearing caravans when travelling between Server Workers. Bugs with caravan riders or caravans randomly teleporting across the entire available map. Storage and cargo issues when trying to sell or move items. When trying to run a big caravan group with a lot of people, it starts resembling a circus, because there is always some person within the group at any moment fighting with a bug.
   My character is also permanently bugged for caravanning. No commodity vendor wants to buy ANYTHING from me, after I made a trip from Azmaran to Windandsea, which was reported both in discord and in-game
2. Resource scarcity. There is not enough resource deposits on the map. For example, Weeping willow and raptor hauntable feels very limited. It makes thing worse when resource spawn buried in terrain or underground and can not be gathered. Moreover, there is no way to get Coal resource currently, which is needed in crafting of Befallen Forge items, and some Journeyman item crafting.
   Some resources after being gathered can spawn as any other resource deposit. We a re seeing a lot of minable deposits that can not be possibly gathered until there is a journeyman mining building on the map.
   Same being reported for a Braidwood trees, spawning on a spots of Willow trees.
   The only saving grace for this testing was and is that Intrepid restarts the servers every day and it randomizes resource deposits. We gatherers are able to gather resources only because of server resets, otherwise it would in theory become impossible to gather most of deposits due to all of them having higher requirements. This is not healthy and should be addressed.
3. Treasure maps permanent bug. I am yet to complete any treasure map as it is permanently bugged for me and I can not use them, which was reported.

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

• 1. Inventory, storage, and moving items around in general. I know this is a backend connection issue that can currently be resolved by logging out and waiting around 15 seconds but it is kind of annoying
• 2. Tons of lag issues with open world dungeons it seems.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

• 1. Maybe add a “notebook” or something of the sort where all professions are kept track of and where they are being done at. Many times I have logged off and forgotten what I was doing the day before only to find out a couple days later that I had 50x ash timber waiting for me (defintely not a true story)
• 2. Some gathering nodes are INCREDIBLY sparse. I think I’ve seen about 5 weeping willow. Maybe a bit more balance based on overall player gathering level
• 3. Remove the player collision stuff, its unnecessary.

1. Mounts speeds more equalized and possibly better/faster based on training rarity. to have more variety of mounts instead of everyone just on the fastest.
2. Forge Armor sets having the set type bonuses like all other gear.
3. PVP Flag not dropping off once hit so people cant corruption bait as easily.
   ======================

[edgy surge]

======================
Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Client hard lockup. The game client seems to be losing Focus. Locks up hard but an Alt Tab that cycles back to it will clear the issue. Often you have to do this alt-tab cycle a few times for the Z key (attack) to start working again. Obviously this is a cruicial bug as it usually happens during combat.

2. Inventory bags. They stop showing what's there correctly, moves do not update the bags, only exiting the client and restarting will make them work again for a while.

3. The mining resource spawns. Even though your database queries show there is plenty of Copper/Zinc/Tin, if one can run around for 4 to 5 HOURS without finding a single spawn of the above, it's not useable. Too much depends on at least a small amount of metal available, not the tiny trickle that the current system provides.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. The Marketplace sorely needs the ability to search the ITEM names, not the User and Store Description names (those are fairly worthless) Let us search the Active Items by name (a Rarity filter would be a bonus!)

2. Warning notices with a Tradeguild promoter that lets you know you ALREADY have five Apprenticeships so you cannot take another. A side note on this. PLEASE DO NOT COUNT GATHERING SKILLS IN THE 5 Apprenticeships! There will still be plenty of inter-dependancy if you did this, right now it's extremely limited and is just going to cause people to use multiple Alts to round out what they need.

3. Caravans at ServerWork borders need a lot of work. I had a total of 5 fail at borders, could recover 3 of them eventualy but it is a huge financial hit to take to completely lose a Caravan and contents at low levels.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. It would be really cool to see more freehold content
2. the marketplace could be improved, it would be nice to at least be able to search for items instead of just descriptions

[bleak jetty]

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Not sure if this counts as a bug, but insane rubber banding and very low render distance in populated areas or wars
2. Weapon finishers of unequipped weapons are procking
3. Scrolls and food sometimes doesnt work, and sometimes after relog you can end up with negative stats
4. You are sometimes visible on ranger camo
5. I think some weapon perks, maybe some skills, maybe even some stats around physical penetration doesnt work well. Maybe some only vs players, some only vs specific mobs. I dont have specific data, so there is something to look into. But i can tell you that having hunt of a raven on and off didnt change my damage vs tanks in pvp, not even 1 damage difference. And in pve vs shardlings when i removed the perks that increased penetration on weapon combos i gained damage.
6. As 6 i will put something less important but relevant to me. Characters often look different to other player than to you, thats expecially pronounced with hair, where my character has different hair than what other sees. But also for me other ppl change thier look every now and then.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Griding mobs for 100h straight is the most tedious way to level up ever. If game would release now, i doubt many ppl would play it.
2. I think ppl who are not participants of the war should not be able to heal and buff ppl that are in the war. cuz now you can have unflagged healers and enemy cant really do anything about it without going corrupt
3. Market place is unbearable
4. Balancing seems off, mages deal isnane damage compared to ranger even though mage has 2k health shield and ranger has no such defence. And bard single target damage is out of this world either.
5. Node buffs and effects are getting priority over more important buffs which makes it hard to determine if you have a buff you want or not
6. I will use 6 for something less burning, but important to me. Character models are not good, and armor seems.. dull, not something i would expect from fantasy mmo, but its only lv20 armor, so maybe you cook something for higher levels.

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Maps not allowing you to accept the quest to run more maps
2. Hunting carcasses rarity drop rate
3. Bloodrunner drop rate compared to bloom, and other endgame sets
4. Inventory bugging out. there is a lot of ways it happens but i feel like it also effects a lot of the game play too.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. i think allowing carcasses to drop from killing the mob not just from hunting would be a good change
2. I enjoy the way that gathering herbs and wood feels but gathering gems and ores feel really underwhelming and extremely tedious.
3. the search function in the marketplace is frankly exhausting to try and find anything and is taking a lot of the joys of crafting and playing the economy out of the game.
4. please add separated chats for trade and looking for group. would frankly be a huge quality of life upgrade and remove a lot of constant text scrolling.

[sand halo]

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Caravans are super buggy and get stuck a lot/ issues with flagging in groups for or against them
2. Weapon passives are either not working or stack unintuitively and I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feedback topic but it's going under bug for the testing I've done so far.
3. Anti-healing from monsters is causing healers is a party to kill people instead of just not healing

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. The crafting system I understand is placeholder but it really needs a full passthrough even for an alpha state. The current system requires so much time investment from such a large amount of players to craft even the most basic artisan items.
   Gathering is really rough for certain materials (I don't need to say it but copper) and processing being so barebones and time gated while having not only the material cost, but a monetary cost on top with weird restrictions on crafting numbers makes the entire system feel awful to interact with from start to finish.

2. I would really like to see some form of revamp to the exp rates/questing system so that going and killing the same 10 mobs for 20-50 hours is not the way to get to a level where we can test the systems that you want us to test without it being a fulltime job to get there. Exp rates for MMOs are important for longevity I understand but we're in a testing phase to test, let us test.

3. The marketplace system is really nice, but it would be great if we had a search function for specific items.

[remote seal]

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

• 1. Caravans (all known issues)
• 2. Treasure map quests
• 3. Weeping Willow Spawns becoming scarcer and scarcer. And braidwood taking over all the willow spawns and not being harvestable due to lack of node progression.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

• 1. Solo Leveling - I get that you want to encourage group play and socialization which I like but the gap between the exp you can get in a grind group and the exp you can get solo questing is astronomical. Buff quest exp and make it worth someone’s while to cut down 20 trees for a board quest.
• 2. Allow processing of any number of materials rather than the current options of 1-5-10-25-50. Things stack in 20. At least change 25 to 20 and 50 to 40 or 60 but allowing me to process 9 of an item at a time would be a huge QOL improvement.
• 3. Make chat more user friendly. Instead of having to type /tell (name) (insert text here) allow me to just click on a name in the chat box and send the player a message.

2. View distance - on 2nd alfa was nerfed greatly (i understand that this is for some reason, but want to see old view distance asap))
3. Missing stats/skills on riding mounts (Its great to see diversity of mounts, but this diversity only at visual and main speed stat)

[dark apex]

1. Caravans so many bugs. Usually causes DCs or disappeared caravan/ cargo.

2. Too many bugs in the quest system. Please test the quests before including them to the player population. Named people for quest are wrong on the maps when tracking the quest.

3. Lag overall in cities, carp./other locations is awful. Plus, usually camped 24/7 by guilds whom no longer need the gear. They're selling it, but will not allow others to experience that aspect of the game.

1.****The crafting gear takes so long to get to due to node leveling requirements that the gear becomes irrelevant for the leveling because by time the crafting is leveled/are able to train to the next level at the node you can get better drops in locations or if you can afford it you can buy the dropped gear at the marketplace

2 ***crafting can be improved by being able to type on the exact amount of an item you want to craft.
3. Cleric become red for heal random people whom appear non pvp identity in their tags. Guilds whom exploit this bug are not punished.
4. Most of the aspects of the heavy armor and weapon crafting are way harder than that of the other crafting at the beginning levels. Leveling hunting... so. Limited on the huntable mobs. So, tanning is at a crawl. At artisan I have seen a whole field of deer to hunt.

2. Attacks from invisible enemies. Typically happens while mounted, enemies will get aggroed and not seem like they're attacking and then suddenly they do.
3. Journeyman materials prevent the spawn of lower rank materials. So until nodes unlock journeyman stations, there's no way to harvest those nodes. So they eventually push out lower rank materials.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Low rank materials act as a bottleneck for progression. Since everyone can farm the lowest rank materials and can use them, it makes it difficult to find them early in node/server development.
2. Copper and Iron look fairly similar to eachother, especially in the dark. Stopping for what you think is copper only to find something two ranks higher is frustrating. A few of the stones are fairly similar to eachother, but not as bad.
3. UI is damn near unreadable on 1080p resolution at default settings. I can make the windows bigger, but I can't make just the text bigger.

1. Allowing job size slider or box to type in number you want to craft.

4. Mob stealing is terrible. If me or my party tag a mob we should get credit for the kill not some level 25 who one shots it after we tag it. It makes doing quests and commissions difficult.

Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Great job to the entire team at Intrepid for putting on a great alpha experience. I and many others have made some great friendships, have had great experiences, and I appreciate the effort on your side to engage with the community.

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Mobs teleporting, getting stuck, pulled through walls, etc.
2. Caravans (teleporting, recovering, container size, etc.)
3. Inventory and UI bugs that require a log out/log in
4. Friends list, guild info tab, increase/decrease quantity slider, and other UI bugs.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Player griefing and training mobs. Can you make it so mobs are the problem of the person who aggroed them until the mob goes back to its spawn and resets. If that is not possible we should have a way to report players and accounts should be banned. Getting rid of these players now sends a clear message that your behavior in game matters to the integrity of the game community.

2. loot drop rates seem to decrease after about 45min to 1 hour in parties and raids. Can you make this more consistent? Farming for 6+ hours and only seeing a small handful of drops or specific nodes(zinc, copper) feels like the games is not respecting our time. Yes it's alpha, but getting gear or materials and moving on to test other systems and end game content seems like a better use of our time with this short time frame in phase 2. Maybe save the rarity and economy testing for beta when the crafting, processing, and level grinding will reflect more of the finished product?

3. Citizen and tax system. Is it broken or just intentionally convoluted? paying 39 receipts at level 10, then being forced to pay 100+ each time I leveled is WILD! The due date changes (for instance: next date was Jan 9th. I leveled and was notified I owed 136 receipts and now this would only last until that Jan 4th.) Doing Mayoral commissions did nothing to reduce this. Penalizing citizens for signing up later than others is inappropriate.

1. Allied enemies. (Monsters show up as green. you can't have fun fighting what you can't kill.)
2. Non-recoverable caravans. (While it hasn't happened to me losing a caravan because of a crash or bug would suck.)
3. Incompletable commissions. (When you pick up a commission whether mayoral or not, not being able to turn it in for the reward feels bad.)
4. Inventory bug. (Having to relog because I can't pick up items or move anything in my inventory is annoying.)

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. As a newer player it can be difficult for me to understand how I can utilize the debuffs other classes are applying to increase my damage and vice versa.
2. Rarity of novice level crafting materials (namely copper) makes it very difficult to pick up a profession unless you have tons of gold saved up.
3. Add more incentive for being pvp flagged as of now I haven't flagged up a single time as it brings much risk with very little if any reward.

Three cheers to the mates working on this fantastic game over the holidays.

2. Caravans (on behalf of everyone else, I didnt do any)
3. Treasure Maps (on behalf of everyone else, I didnt do any)
4. Mob threat/leashing really needs some polish (y'all should copy what AA did LOL)

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. RESOURCE SPAWNING ALGORITHMS. When everyone is hunting/picking clean t1 or t2 it eventually forces most respawns into t3 and bottlenecks everything at the lower tier. Perhaps some sort of cap on higher tier resources based on population skill level percent?
2. Also having basic rare resources needed for skilling professions AND be consumed by Buy Orders is rough. I can either process my metals for skill progression OR contribute them to the node. Why can't the node accept processed materials perhaps?
3. Some resource points are 100% predictable rarity results; hit this rock here, and it ALWAYS gives the same rarity. There is some reset to this when servers reset in terms of material and rarity produced, but once set the results are 100% consistent.
4. Would love to be able to customize chat colors; looks like there's placeholders for this, hope it gets some love. #QoL

All in all, GREAT first run of P2! Thank you team for letting this roll for over two WEEKS! Hope the team had a good, restful holiday and is recharged and ready to go for 2025! ❤️ to all!

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Improving crafting capabilities by allowing us to set any number of processes, or at least add the ability of 20 to match most stack limits.
2. As a citizen, it's unclear what is actually contributing to the creation of buildings etc in our town. I'd like to know what I can focus on to assist the best way possible, or at least have it be more transparent.
3. A clearer way to see the debuffs on you and your party members. Currently battle buffs are hidden due to the number of buffs from node benefits.
4. An improvement to the marketplace UI. It would be great to be able to search by item and compare prices, but also keep the individuality of personalised shops. A larger description box for more personalisation.

Thank you for all the work and improvements we've seen in the last month alone. I'm loving my experience with this game and can't wait to see what's to come.

[fallen mauve]

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

• Crafting shirts and pants no longer work. We cannot craft gear anymore of specific rarity, because since Phase 1 when there was a "bug" found for crafting, it completely broke the crafting system. Rarity on shirts do not do anything.
• Caravans getting bugged and getting stuck in deployment.

• Toxic individuals on the Vyra server. I know we have reported them, but doing personal attacks, stealing names, impersonating people on said names, and calling someone a "fat post menopause bitch" in global/making fun of trans people/ making fun of people for bullying people for reasons similar as that should have gotten them banned a while ago.

2. Floating mobs in the air (especially huntable mobs).
3. Invisible walls while running on a mount forcing rubber banding on a position until you come to a full stop, and then start moving again.
4. Inventories not updating on trade or storage transfer in a busy node until you mount / dismount.
5. Queueing up 250 items for processing and occasionally having all remaining quantities of the material in your materials bag consumed above and beyond the 250 (materials disappear). Note, this was reported by a guildmate to me.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Artisan system updates (Talent trees?)
2. Spawning gathering materials potentially being tied to the tier of gathering building in nodes + adjacent nodes .
3. Reducing the gulf between artisan crafts and PvE levelling to make crafted gear at all rarities more relevant to the player base as a whole.
4. Possibly wanting to see a "quality bar" when crafting gear to see how close a piece of gear is to ranking up to the next rarity from using a mixture of rarity materials to make the craft.
5. Making cities safe from all forms of PvP combat (possibly add a 1-5 minute cooldown on a player crossing into a city before they are "immune").
6. Storefront UI improvements - show me the cheapest items posted rather than manually sifting through pages of stores which may no longer have the items listed.

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Error 525 character bug. Seems to be locking characters out of the game completely for multiple days at a time (unsure if anyone has ever gotten it to clear up.

2. Something involving passive_lifesteal_reaction causing low level mobs to completely destroy you out of nowhere.

3. Inventory not updating unless you mount and dismount stacked with some other bugs its difficult to move storage around when you have to do so after each item. Relogging sometimes fixes but always comes back.

4. Bard specific Discordance notes going above and beyond to chase far away mobs not engaged in any combat. Pretty in theme id say but is to risky to spec into with a group most times despite being a very strong ability.

5. Party frames disappearing. Fixable by cobverting to a raid for opening the HuD editor but will generally need to be done multiple times every couple of minutes sometimes because it will affect one member after another.

[main fox]

Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. NPC aggro transfer - Mobs aggro'd by players switch targets to other players incredibly easily, even when other players are out of the way.
2. Mob bugs in general. Anything that causes a mob to not fight back or remain attackable when stuck. I feel like caster mob damage is also a little over-tuned.
3. non-combat money earners - treasure maps and caravans are plagued with issues.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. I think in PvP, when fighting another player, the player who did the most damage or some algo for contribution should have loot priority on a killed player. Player A wins damage on Player B, Player C should not be able to loot or loot lock player B's body. Losing equipment from becoming corrupt should not be circumventable just by having another player like cleric with you.
2. I think in PvP, while players are purple, being attacked by another purple player should reset the cooldown on my flag timer. This would ensure players are committing to their decisions in PvP, and not relying on automated game functions to pre-maturely end encounters
3. Resource node spawning algos - What's in place is not working. Players are spending time clearing mining nodes and not seeing any reward from it because there's no way to find a node that might have spawned as an ore they actually need. Everyone being a novice gatherer is also part of the problem.

[atomic marsh]

Bugs:

1. Unreal 525 Bug - Players losing the ability to access entire characters.
2. Various caravan bugs: glitches when going from land to water and vice versa, random teleports to Carphin
3. Treasure maps, so many lost riches due to bugs.

Feedback:

1. Higher rarity crafts should reward more crafting xp. I have a LOT of uncommon and rare red ink I should be using to level scribe, but it literally provides no additional reward than common.
2. Higher rarity enchanting scrolls should have either reduced chances at failure or downgrade, or some other positive effect. From testing, we found that a green vs a white enchanting scroll produces no discernable difference.
3. Improve questing as a way to level. I think this would encourage more players to produce alts and test other systems/classes. Right now mob grinding seems to be the only feasible way to level and I can't stand the thought of having to do that on more than one character.

3. Have more sets of gear droppable from mobs specific to them. sets with a set bonus from them to us the players to use against them. lowering the Exp gain or making it take longer to level would actually make the artisans be useful in that sense.

[dawn mauve]

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. FOV/aspect ratio. I am running 32:9 but am playing in 16:9 due to losing screen space to "zoom in".

2. Inventory not moving properly, including loss of items. Mostly with storage, but also with an open loot menu.

3. Bard knockback functioning improperly.

4. Taxes being due day after day, even when paid.

5. Some settings resetting to default when restarting game. Including Low Latency mode and chat settings.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Bard melody canceling with escape.

2. Bard Sagas generally being weak/useless. They take 90 seconds to set up, and remove buffs. They need to be worth the setup and cost.

3. Bards Resonant Weapon needs to be looked at some more. Menacing weapon's resonant effect, while strong, basically requires a shortbow or wand while playing solo to be effective. Cheerful Melody's resonant effect requires you to not attack until someone needs healing, to be effective and not wasted.
   A lot of bards power lays in resonant weapon, with their other forms of damage, healing, and mana regen, falling far behind. This feels very bad pre level 10 or so, as you don't have enough abilities to reliably generate stacks, and lack the weapon skills to reliably execute finishers to spend said stacks. Perhaps more importantly though, this feels especially bad when healing. As I said, the healing from Cheerful resonant is not reliable, and coupling this with it being so much of our healing throughput, makes healing as a bard really bad. I suggest making it a HoT.

4. Scarcity of resources still feels bad. It doesn't necessarily feel like something we are fighting over, but rather a bottleneck that those with enough time, and luck, can profit off of. If you were to provide a way for us to gain these resources another way, via a event or dungeon, we could keep these resources rare yet accessible.

[crisp cliff]

======================
Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Caravans causing crashes for the people riding them, nonstop, several times in a single caravan run. Caravans getting so bugged you're permanently locked out of doing them.

2. Rarity on resources, some spawns are legendary most of the time, others just don't work or something. Chop 500 "novice" trees with apprentice gear (high rarity) and you get 11 rare wood at best. Especially Hunting!

3. Aggro on monsters is just bugged or wrong, or just doesn't work. Anyone can aggro monsters and run past you, and suddenly you have the aggro because you were closer or something.

4. Mob respawns just disappear, or the monster gets bugged in some corner and doesn't return until a server restart.

5. Storage/Inventory bugs. Same stuff as in p1 but way more often, relog sometimes fixes, sometimes doesn't. Can downright delete caravan goods. There's just so many bugs under this category I don't know where to start.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Finisher bug is NOT fixed, at all. People still abuse the heck out of them.

2. Healing debuff doesn't reduce healing anymore, but applies damage when you heal them, great way to get corrupted.

3. People exploiting drowning, unstuck and glitching caravans from New Aela to desert, or the other way around.

4. Too MILD punishments for people griefing and exploiting constantly. Ban them permanently or at least for a month or so. This is making people just not willing to spend the time to TEST stuff for you, because certain guilds are just an overwhelming user of all the exploits and abuse possible.

5. Stuff is being added, to the alpha test but doesn't work at all, isn't explained at all. No LFG / Trade channels. There's too many things to even begin to write down. If it was 25-50 most important topics to discuss there still wouldn't be enough points to discuss everything.

I am always broke and only level 12 despite being level 20 or almost on 3 gathering skills. Some commissions (salmon) are worth more turning into the vendor than the commission pays.

3. Server restart should NEVER respawn bosses or gathering, this create scenario where people can farm bosses way faster than what it should be. Instead it should just continue the respawn timer from where it stopped before.

1.Impossible to have large scale wars, the servers just cant handle big guild wards currently, damage dont count.
2. Lack of chat moderation, players being racist, xenophobic, and even many cases of DOXING and no action being done. (Against game rules under "Community Rules and Restrictions)
3. Repetitive exploiters not being punished and even making fun that most likely nothing will happen.
4. Currently the corruption penalties are way to big, creating scenarios where griefing others for example in or during grinding almost impossible to deal(luring/mob training), because getting corruption to stop it is insanity.
5. World bosses should have an giant area around it similar to deserts enabling PvP for everyone, I've seen many world bosses where it was purely PvE since nobody wanted to get corruption just to get a boss.

2. Ore/trees spawning above or under the map or inside terrain so it cant be collected
3. Maps are still 50/50 on whether they work properly

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:
1.Crafting Bottlenecks, rarity, and interlinking: For example, copper is needed for all the apprentice tools, and desperately needed for weapon crafting, arcane engineering and jewelcrafting, but then is also needed to make all the brass and bronze at apprentice, and so is constantly in need (each weapon needs 8-12 shards EACH) and then once you get to apprentice, everything needs weeping willow, which is rare, limited and hard to find. In addition, by the time someone has gotten the ability to do crafting (and the nodes are leveled up enough with the correct stations to do the crafting, you are for past the point that the crafts are useful gear wise.
2. Processing Materials at 1-1 makes no sense and is attrocius. Conversion rates I believe should be adjusted to a 1 ore/wood/stone/gems etc. to 3-5 shards/planks/fragments/dust etc., similar to how grem carcasses become 5 skins from one carcass
3. Ores are still extremely rare, and i believe it should be possible to get an extra ore or 2 maybe from hitting the stone nodes as like a 5-10 percent chance (say a 5 percent chance to get a copper ore when you harvest basalt, and a 5% chance to get zinc when you harvest granite, or 2.5 percent from either.
4. Please change the player markets. Searching doesn;t search for gear, just store names and hand written invnetory tags, and figuruing out prices is significantly harder. Region/node based Auction houses would provide for a better economy in my opinion.

1. Inverted Healing bug - Heals dealing damage instead of healing, can kill target accidentaly and even result in corruption. Seems to be caused by the zombie anti-heal debuff.
2. The rubberbanding in place bug - Causes your characher to be stuck in place while moving, as if surrounded by invisible walls. Requires the player to stop moving for several seconds before they can move normally again
3. The Disco bug - Causes mobs to glow like the actual sun in random flashing colors, seems to sometimes get fixed by toggling around the global illumination settings but does not always work, so sometimes you just need to disco disco.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. War pvp systems - You cannot give rewards for something like this and not have any loss on the other side, otherwise win trading will always go crazy. If there was some sort of "Rating" or ladder system in place, and defeating guilds lost rating, you could scale rewards based on how highly rated each guild was and effectively mitigate the worst of it, but I think having rewards here at all is asking for it to be gamed and exploited. Just let wars be for the sake of war and let guilds fight.
2. Caravan PVP - The Caravan system is very frustrating because you have separate events for separate caravans but you don't easily know which caravan is which, you also cannot sign up to the events as a party so you need to constantly drop in and out of groups to make it work. I really wish I could see easily whose caravan I am fighting.
3. The areas around world bosses and POIs are often contested ingame yet the game doesnt always facilitate this well. If these areas had some built in option to fight for dominance it would be great. War declaration scrolls only work if dealing with full guild groups, fighting for the tag feels weird when you cant clearly see on the UI whether or not you have tag, or how much contribution you have currently. This does not matter if you overwhelm the boss etc but in evenly matched engagements with unguilded players, it feels bad.

Important Bugs (3-5)

1. Freehold Plantings
   Having items dropping properly from their origins would help testing, also would encourage more people to utilize their freehold and stress the limits of plantings.

2. Teleporting Monsters
   Carphin is the biggest place to test this. If a creature cannot see you, they just teleport to you. This is abused in two ways, to mob spam a exp party and to drag mobs to their own party to farm. Line of sight should make creatures return back to their pathing.

3. Caravan's disappearance
   Just would be nice to be worked on. Sometimes Caravan's think they are launched and get stuck in that cycle. You are unable to buy more caravans if you get this bug, because it thinks your caravan is still spawned. Trying to use a recall doesn't fix either. Totally breaking a persons chance at using caravans completely.

4. Drowning
   Drowning before a player can kill you gives a free teleport! If you take damage from a player this shouldn't occur. Also is it suppose to be impossible to resurrect. an ally in water? Currently it is unless you stand on a boat.

5. Zombie vomit turning heals into death
   Would really like a fix for this sooner then later. Purify may remove the curse but there is still a period after it is removed where you can still kill them via healing.

Important Feedback Topics

1. Guild Wars and Guilds
   Knowing a patch is coming out for this; this is still something that needs a lot of love for PvPers to add to the additional stress. Having Title Announcing, cool downs timers, and blocking multiple challenges would stabilize it enough to use in the live server.

Also please add, even if just one officer role, so we can manage invites to our guilds.

2. Train Hate Leashing
   With AI and Alpha, I don't expect this to go far. But having leashing breaking with Line of Sight and narrowing the distance, would stop a lot of mob griefing. No one likes MPK, except those using it to win. Also it's a bug people abuse to train mobs to teleporting after themselves to their party from a far away location.

3. Crowbar Timing
   Since we can't pick up cargo like other games.ᵃʳᶜʰᵉᵃᵍᵉ A timed event in opening cargo could help develop more content for PvP as you can pretty much just rip any cargo open even if you were not part of the event itself open and flee with the goods. Timer could allow the attackers and defenders to summon a caravan to recover the goods vs taking the time to open.

4. Some Hardware Completability
   I have struggled in Phase 2. It takes me 20 minutes to log in if I crash or log out normally. I have my launcher to send in feedback crashes etc. But the log in has become almost unbearable. I have reinstalled, did a complete clean install, Repaired, launched as admin, changed packets, turned off firewall, windows defender. It seems absolutely nothing works. Once I am in the game runs great on High. Phase 1 I did not have this issue. I have no issue being contacted about this and giving specs btw. It's not a bad PC.

5. Log out Timer
   Unless a Crash is detected, logout timers would be great for those who alt+F4 to escape punishment for corrupting!

Hope you all had a great Christmas and New year! Keep up the great development and thanks you for giving us the players a chance to test this game as a True Alpha. It's been years since I got to do this and it reminds me how much I enjoy breaking things in the game and reporting my findings.

1. Weapon trees working on weapons that are not equipped
2. Caravan bugs
3. Mobs swapping aggro while not attacking them
4. Unyielding blink does not work
   5, Bard / wand finisher interaction, being able to apply 39 stacks of shocked only with a single weapon from a single class does not make sense, applying 10 stacks as a mage is strong, 39 as a bard is absolutely crazy and needs fixing.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Please only hand out punishments to the bad actor/exploiters and not all the people that have committed time to leveling and playing the game, a full wipe would be way over the top. For anyone exploiting leveling from 2 weeks ago should of been reset, caught on video and still no punishment. For duping please find those items and delete them, the character and their alt characters, because most of these people that know they will have characters reset are already leveling alts and trading items to them. (Please look at the trade logs)
2. Joining Caravan events in a group really needs some work, the caravan system can be so fun but very annoying to get into the actually events currently. Add a button to join event as raid.
3. Some of the larger war decs guild v guild feel like they last too long, or at least towards the end just starts being less of a war and more of a man hunt for a couple people. A designated prime time for wars would also be nice. but at least for now lower the max time of the longer wars. Currently the ends of the wars are not that engaging.

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Citizenship Dues UI Reset on Level Up - While it only charges a player the difference between the two payments, it does not allow a player to make a new payment unless they have the new full total in hand.
2. Treasure Maps Getting Bricked - Multiple situations can cause a player to be unable to start new maps, likely due to a ghost map being attached to their quest journal. Consider removing the limit on how many maps a player is allowed to have active at once to fix this for now.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Guild membership capacity is too low, just make it unlimited but cost some kind of 'guild dues' based on total membership size.
2. Caravan Flag Radius is too narrow. Triple the radius to make it more straight forward to flag up for attackers against an organized defense group.
3. Cluttered General Chat - Replace Global General chat with Node-locked LFG, Trade, and Local channels. For example "Halcyon-Trade", "Sunhaven-LFG" or "Lionhold-Local".

2. Declaring War spamming for gold/resources.
3. Exp Exploits

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Towns should be entirely safe spots. No pvp at all in towns.
2. EXP curve is too high for grinding/killing. I think there Needs to be an increase for EXP gained from gathering and missions boards. that way instead of grinding monsters for adventure levels we can also craft/gather and/or support our node's development while gaining adventure levels. POI grinding should be for resources not EXP.
3. Defending a caravan should award those who participate an amount of node currency based on distance from origin node (or metric of choice). It's actually a lot of fun to join in with a random caravan and escort/talk/make new friends. With no reward of any kind for defenders its mostly just a waist of time. I think adding a small reward for helping defend a caravan is a great way to recruit for guilds, and also a great way to add a RP/Mercenary aspect to this unique pvp system.

Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Memory leaks/spikes leading to random crashes. Game however freezes and can continue to attempt accessing more and more memory.
2. Many quests are completely broken and cannot be done. This makes the early stages of the game very frustrating.
3. Rarity with hunting makes attempting to craft high-tier gear very difficult.
4. Less important, but XP scrolls for crafting (at least for Metalworking specifically) do not do anything.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Lots of focus needs to be put on fixing and improving the quest system. Testers would benefit greatly from having tangible feedback-focus systems, rather than flailing about doing whatever in order to test servers. The quest system provides a tangible focus for testers which gives them direction, provides meaningful gameplay which helps retain more testers, and can also allow developers to create quests that can help guide/railroad players into future testing-focused scenarios.
2. Classes need some tuning (mostly tanks). Tanks specifically need help in that early on they aren't actually tanky, they're just good at holding aggro. Other classes just need tweaks so that abilities that are outliers in performance are brought up/down.
3. Accessories/jewellery is very underpowered. They offer far less raw stats than most armour pieces (equal stats with smaller armour pieces if you ignore mitigation stats, which are very important). They also gain very small (%-wise) stat increases with increasing rarity. These combine in such a way that attempting to get good accessories is pointless because it is not worth the investment.

1. Caravans disappearing/bugging out
2. Monsters never resetting/spawning again
3. Multiple quests impossible to hand in/complete and not worth doing
4. Tax receipt payment requirements break when leveling up as a citizen. It’s like your taxes reset, but when you go to pay, you only pay the difference even though you need the whole amount of receipts for the payment to go through.
5. Loot bug/gatherable bug: unable to pick up loot randomly or breaking a tree/ore node and not receiving any item while having the node still break and requiring a 15 second log out to fix

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. There should be a way to link items and their tool tip boxes in chat like in every MMO
2. I absolutely love the fishing system as it is, (almost GM fishing now) but I’ve heard a lot of people don’t. I think there should be an optional active component to fishing that’ll give more fish or higher rarity for example, so that the afk-ability that I like doesn’t get touched, but the others wanting more also get the option of getting more out of fishing.
3. Mob training is currently ruining very popular spots to farm and have made them extremely dangerous, and I know this is considered greifing and not allowed, but that won’t stop bad actors from doing so anyway.
4. I think quests should be a more viable exp source, provided they work properly, such as certain side quests where you kill a named mob or find a crate to return somewhere. This would help out solo levelers like myself a lot more.
5. I think Steven and the rest of the team are doing a phenomenal job with the game and I am ready, willing, and able to make this my main game for the foreseeable future. Fantastic work guys ❤️

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

• 1. Implement proper caps / restrictions for gear so level 10 gear enchanted is not better than a full set from carph or steel bloom because of the heavy stats weight and boosting . E.g :full thorn and 20 equips and blues bis is 270-280 magic power . Full 10 with enchants can reach 400 magic power making it obsolete ( the stats of the set pieces or the extra properties wouldn’t change if we can enchant 20 gear - it would still be lower value ) Making the set bonus have higher value would be better !
• 2. Mount swimming / clipping / getting stuck in no animation
• 3. Treasure maps bug

[primal pecan]

Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Aggro of mobs to targets nearby players not in party, who haven't attacked. This is associated with the griefing of training mobs over other other players.
2. Treasure maps are still broken.
3. Server performance, which you all are aware of and working towards.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. This might be in the works, but providing more of an adventure/quest/context feel to the primary points of interest, which have become players level and gear grind locations (Steel Bloom/Serph/Ceph/etc). Current state breaks an emersion into the adventure feel. Area changes as mobs are killed, or secret quest/findings in the area that results by clearing a path.
2. I am not a fan of the theme park MMO style, which AoC does not do (yay!) but I feel there are probably more quests discovery quest/exploration xp/or dynamic zones responding to player interaction/behaviors would be great for questing for emersion.
3. I like the sets specific to certain areas for farm/drops, as it provides planned focus for content. I feel like in the xp grind that people do or for drops there are specific areas/mobs that are more "friendly" based on their mechanics to low level, solo/duo grinding that really doesn't feel like a balanced method and creates a competition of griefing and prioritization of players using what is for all intensive purposes an exploit method to grind xp.
4. Gear staging - need to have more than break points of 1 - 10 - 20 level gear points. Reason why is that mobs that drop the 10 lvl gear are camped by higher level players, making questing and gear relevance harder for lower level players.
5. More work towards world emersion. You all have created for me a fantastic game so far that has drawn me in to a world that I've missed across the past 10+ years of mmos. I can't wait to see how this goes forward, keep up the great work!

Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. NPC AI and aggro mechanics enabling both leash ranges that stretch for 5x a PoIs entire length, and mob training/dumping.
2. When trading in areas of high latency, it is possible for all traded items to be deleted outright with no way to recover them.
3. When landing a caravan to the shore from water, if the caravan landing is initiated too far from shore, any form of bug happening can cause the caravan to be completely unrecoverable.
4. When driving a caravan, it is possible for a bug to occur that will force you into a loading screen and teleport you back to the origin point of the caravan. Just you, not the caravan. You can recover, but it's rough.
5. If you crash or have any issue during caravan deploying, that character is bricked and can never launch a caravan again and there is no fix that I'm aware of.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Processing amounts NEED to become flexible and not be hardcoded.
2. Artisan skills require a massive amount of materials to level for the actual crafting skills, and currently the gatherable resources are just way too low to realistically make it possible to do those skills unless you are part of a zerg guild funneling mats into you.
3. The effect of rarity on low-level gear is currently so small as to be almost nonexistant for many items, specifically for 1-9 level gear.
4. The damage values on Pyromancers and Arsonists is obscenely high. Even in a mix of green and blue level 10 cloth gear on a level 15 character, I've been flat out oneshotted by Pyromancers, and I've had Arsonists chunk me for nearly a full third to half of my HP in a single spell. They can also do this in AoE. It needs some tuning.

[spark dove]

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:( as a still noob player)

1. Inventory freezing when trying to put in storage
2. Mounts freezing in animations
3. Mob AI, dumping is not cool they should reset outside a certain range unless hit.
4. rooted gets bypassed sometimes as ranger

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Some quests could use more in-game detail as to goals or location.
2. Marketplace needs a better system maybe something more like (New World) also the crowding of npc vendors make them hard to access if just one.
3. Chat is messy and my custom channel gets removed. Also citizen chat cant be turned off. A LFG channel maybe per area might help.

my suggestions but im a slow player at level 15 and haven't even got to caravans or helping with city building yet, mainly solo.

[torn sapphire]

Bugs:

1. Invisible NPCs attacking, but unable to be targeted even through tab targeting.
2. NPCs not reacting to attack and suddenly teleporting to the player and dealing a lot of damage.
3. Even with a really good machine, sometimes close objects or NPCs don't render in and takes a bit to show up.

Feedback:

1. Training mobs onto other players is out of hand. NPCs should return to their origin point once they hit their max leash point even if there are other players along that path. If a player on the path attacks the NPC, then the NPC engages.
2. More complex pvp flagging system. Players should not be punished for defending themselves.
3. Marketplace needs to be sorted by item, not by storefront. More functional filters, sorting by pricing, sorting by item name/description.

[bright bone]

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Mob teleporting. I've seen mobs not react to being attacked, only to teleport to a player and deal massive damage, or do damage far from melee range.
2. Rendering distance. Terrain/people etc. Even on a high end machine the game does not render well.
3. Character/weapon/mounts not rendering correctly. The body morph heavily when equiping armor. Shields do not show. Weapons dissapear. As an rper, this matters to me! 🙂

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Player Training and trolling - Not a lot, but some guilds/players have taken into training mobs onto lower levels, leading to them getting killed. This may just be a pvp issue, but it creates an unpleasant environment. Something should be addressed regarding it.
2. Guilds are abusing pvp war. We've seen time and time again where large end guilds go to war with absolutely everyone and anyone. Scores often showing 250 to 0 etc. There should be a cooldown on war declaration use.
3. I know this is a pvp oriented game, but people will always have the mentality if they can do something, they will. Its not easy to breed a positive pvp enviorment, but something needs to be addressed otherwise the game with be too toxic to enjoy.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Mob training is lame
2. Non-stop xp debt is lame
3. Glint drop on every death when pve mobs 1-shot you is very lame. Lose too much value constantly that is too hard to recoup. Banking glint takes too much time to travel to/from towns to do so. Makes dying more painful as you lose hours of progress.
4. Crafting seems completely disjointed from the levelling process and lags behind in progress and producing gear for players in conjunction with levelling speed (even as molasses slow as levelling is, crafting still lags significantly behind and is not-viable).
5. Endless mob grinding is not fun. Would like to see communication about the direction of the game and what we should expect related specifically to what the intended character progression is from 1 to max level heading towards A2.3, as well as solo play levelling intended options (not everyone wants to sit all day in groups killing damage sponge trash mobs w/extremely high TTK ad nauseum).

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Gatherable Nodes not working properly
   2.Memory Leaks and crashes are concerning
   3.Storage and bags not working properly

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Mob training needs to be done away with and repeat offenders need to be dealt with on the subject. Exploiting in general has been a major concern for this phase.
2. Loot drops wasn't supposed to be the way I envisioned gearing up. Crafting was supposed to be the go to way for gearing. Hopefully that can become the way of things for the future. More early crafting gear utilizing under appreciated resources would be nice.
3. Class balance certainly needs to be fleshed out, Mages and Bards are far too OP as of now. Fighters and Rangers need to see a bump in the damage. Tanks certainly don't feel all that tanky in a fight being 1-2 punched out. Plenty of balancing to be had.

[loud turret]

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Caravans - system is very unreliable and should be worth more for the time/risk investment. They should be more rewarding for the person running it, and also for individuals attacking them (crow bars are basically useless except for people trying to ninja crates from attackers)
2. Inventory and storage bugs. Also, changing storage slots to specific resource types is useless since the resources do not stack to higher numbers, but the storage space is greatly reduced (maybe I'm missing something here...)
3. Treasure maps
4. Render Distance especially for PvP content.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. The PvP flagging and corruption system needs reworked. PvP is way too clunky for being a "PvP or PvX MMO". Griefers have already mastered the "corruption baiting" tactics to force corruption by toggling flags and exploiting zombie debuffs by training them onto parties. The current flagging system incentivizes much more grief and abuse. Why does killing another player who is contesting your content or harassing you require consent? I'd rather die to a ganker than get corruption baited by an equal level only to be jumped by a party of 25s.
2. Don't tie citizenship with the best capes for specific classes. Whether or not a town has the best cape for your class should not be the main factor for you choosing citizenship.
3. ADD MORE INCENTIVE FOR PVP. Currently there is almost no reason to PVP outside of events - and when you do you have to deal with players logging out or "corruption baiting". Add incentive to being flagged and the risk that comes with PVP. Add rare/more resources to the pvp zone. Add bonus xp/luck to being flagged. Corruption baiting is not a skill, its an exploit.

3. Mounts stop animating and get stuck on very small elevation changes/can't jump over terrain

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Quests/commissions need a lot of work, some quests can't be completed, others have no text/description, and just in general there needs to be more variety and better rewards.
2. It would be really helpful to have a way of knowing what an item is used for in crafting. I can't tell you how many items I regretting vendoring because I fond out later I needed them for some higher tier crafting recipe.
3. I'm not sure if this is intentional, so I didn't add it to the bugs, but mobs should not agro onto other players when they are following another player. This is used to grief other players without entering PVP and just in general causes high traffic areas to be more dangerous for lower lever and solo characters.

[cinder dove]

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Crafting Modifiers

A lot of shirts and XP scrolls and artisan tools are busted and dont actually work for leveling your professions.

2. Node Imbalance

There needs to be a despawn timer on nodes. There are nodes that spawn in unreachable places or when all the low quality is farmed and respawns as high quality and no-one can remove them to repopulate lower nodes... I.E Copper & Zinc.

3. Quests

Still a good number of broken or misleading quests which lead to new players having to level off grinding mobs which becomes brainrot. Quests arent a joy in the park but having the option to choose between wuesting and grinding would be nice.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Server stability is still a large

Just lost a whole trade window worth of stuff to a bugged out trade that would finish processing. I have ahunch this ties into all the caravan issues etc were having too.

2. Toxicity within game mechanics like training mobs into groups.

This has gotten even more toxic as of late with peopel especially doing it to wipe people on bosses they want which is frustrating.

3. Caravan Event zones are too large.

Having unlimited range on a caravan event can be abused. It shouldnt be a small range but it shouldnt be the whole map.

4. Freeholds

I think there should be a wipe on these. Most Vyra freeholds were bought with duped items/gold. Also feel like there should be more of them in the desert to allow more of an economic impact for testing. Not as big of an issue though.

5. Mayorship

There are quite a few mayoral commissions that are bugged such as the fishing one. THe mining one also only allows basalt. As a first time mayor I can tell you the whole system was very confusing but I did manage to figure it out. There needs to be a system in place that allows players to not grief the node. For example, A guild that lost mayorship and just wants to ensure no-one makes progress instead of working with the node. Citizens cant coordinate if their are rotten apples. Having a way for the mayor to war on specific citizens and blacklisting them from the node amenities would be awesome. I could see how it would be abused but I think pros outway the cons.

3. Getting stuck either attacking or defending a caravan even after abandoning the event.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Either leveling to 10 or the level required to be a citizen needs to change. For the people who would like to be crafters in the game, we can't trade anything or focus on crafting as a viable option till we reach level 10.
2. More solo mobs areas without one star or two star mobs amongst the packs. I'd like a few more lower level place to go and farm some mobs that are my level. Specifically around 7 - 12.
3. Separation of the chat system to include a trade chat, lfg chat, general chat, with the ability to filter out stuff that is not needed and to easily find the stuff you do need.

Bugs:

1. No Loot / No XP / Gear Stat Bug - After a while of grinding, glint stops dropping and gear (like Artisan xp bonus) stops applying its bonus. The only way to fix this is to notice that you're not getting harvest/glint/xp and then relog. Happens a lot more often in grinding groups.

2. **Crashing for minimum spec computers already on Low settings when loading server workers and in high traffic areas. **Game crashes "randomly" when it has to load a lot of people and polys. Consider hiding mounts inside towns when not at war? Preload server workers in places like Caraphin near zone borders. Etc.

3. **Harvestable nodes under the world and untargetable, or unharvestable. ** The bushy trees look cool, but the copper and other nodes under the world mesh are not so cool.

4. **Caravans bugging out. ** Caravans are constantly locking for various reasons and then are unable to be resummoned. The causes are myriad, but lots of players are suffering an inability to use caravans at all because one of their caravans decided to bug out.

Feedback Topics:
1.** Craft progression curves -**It's a joke right now and the resource gating (willow, copper, other metals) is nightmarish. Crafting should not be an afterthought for the team. It's a core system. Alongside the economy. Getting Star Wars Galaxies vibes here with systems that should be tested early and often not being given any forethought.

2.** Honestly, I want a way to turn off PvP. **I don't want to see those players, I don't want to interact with those players, I don't want to smell a whiff of trolls who spend their entire online time trying to make other people miserable while "just playing the game the way it was intended." Trolls aren't fun. They're not cute. I don't need care bears and rainbows, but I want the trolls walled off where they can only hurt each other so the rest of us can enjoy a MMO again. I have limited online time each day. I don't want to waste my time with trolls.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:
Caravans - Its disheartening to grind for the glint, grind for the gathering materials to have a good caravan, buy your commodities, and travel 2.5 hours from Azmaran to Joeva, just to have the caravan either disappear, the commodities disappear, or be worth nothing. That was enough to almost quit the game.

We need more freeholds. becuase of the above caravan situation, we had to wait until a server refresh to get a new caravan and restock up on glint and things.. which pushed us 2 days behind, leaving us unable to get a freehold because half the folks here did not have this issue. by the time we had the 100g all 61 freeholds were gone and 52 of them had no activity on them. It should be more difficult to obtain or make more of them so more can participate. RIght now the zerg guilds own them and basically the entire server... thats not an enjoyable time. at all.

2. Treasure maps. These are litterally non-functional most of the times.
3. Caravan related bugs, such as converting to raft or converting back to caravan. It pushes you off over and over and its impossible to get back in, so you gotta exit the game, wait a few mins, and relog again to recover it at a better spot.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. CARAVAN EVENT DESIGN SYSTEM.

• We need to see at least the nickname<guildname> onto the caravan event popup to see who the owner is, in order to avoid participating in unwanted caravans.
• I'd suggest to design a caravan convoy event system, where you can launch multiple ally caravans from different people in a single event. That would make it much cleaner and faster from a UI/UX standpoint.
• Dont let ANY PLAYER to interact with the caravan event unless they choose to attack or defend. That means no one should be able to heal or do dmg from the "outside".

2. MISSIONS AND COMISSIONS

• Please make missions and comissions more engaging and profitable. I'm not saying this should be more profitable than mob grinding for hours, but they're too simple, bugged and poorly rewarded so far. I guess this is all in the works, but I'm just pointing it out.

3. GUILD WAR REWARDS AND PENALIZATIONS

• In order to avoid big exploits, guild wars should also penalize the defeated guild, maybe by retrieving a percentage of every players economy, instead of just giving gold/silver by default to the winners.

1. Caravans sometimes disappearing.
2. NPC routing. Can let them fall through the floor and then teleport right next to you or sometimes ignore the terrain you are trying to use to your advantage. This is not trying to glitch out an enemy, its jumping over a wall and a goblin phasing through it to attack you.
3. Towards the end of the day for a server restart some characters will have overlapping node buffs on them, making it impossible to see what is actually been applied to the character.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. The crafting, or more specifically the refining, having only one queue while also taking only certain numbers of items is rather frustrating. I would love to see more queues to use, being able to use whatever number of crafting materials and maybe being able to place a large number of items for fuel to use in the tables themselves.
2. Having some sort of display, or effect that is a bit more obvious when a finisher, extended finisher and a deadly finisher is happening. An effect of even a small orb or weapon glow would be super helpful when you have the lowering cooldown buff, or the extra damage buff on yourself. Not having this makes me look away from the beautiful game and stare at my buff string.
3. A small indicator for when you get the attention of a mob, or something selects you as a target. The game has great ground effects, but when it comes to whether something is targeting the tank or me, i would love to have a little more indication of threat transfer.
4. Having a small indicator or flag as to when you or your group has tagged something and will get credit for the kill. Many times not knowing if you are the one that has first hit, or done the most damage is an annoying part of the multiplayer systems.

2: Group invite: Players can no longer be invited into the group even though it is clearly stated in the chat that they are being invited, several relogs are necessary.

3: Materials/mining bug: Many materials spawn incorrectly so that they cannot be mined T2 Weeping Willow, or have already been replaced by T3 trees so that they are hardly or not at all findable. (Also the case with copper)

• From Heroic Axe onwards there is a noticeable decrease in coloured materials or only green and blue ones.

1. Griefing. Training mobs or level 20+ attacking level 10 caravans runners seems too unbalanced.

1. Caravans are a biggie. Lots of feedback on that, so only going to thumbs up that as a major bug.
2. Training mobs.
3. TAXES. Something in the taxes calculation buggers up, and lets say you join as a citizen, you owe 140 tax receipts because you're level 12 and it's been some days. You buy, and pay the 140 tax receipts, and then the moment you level that number goes to 153 when you hit level 13. You cannot just pay for 13, you need to buy 153, and then it will only take 13 from your massive stack that you've had to buy. This is a quality of life, for sure, but having hundreds of tax receipts that just stay locked in your inventory is frustrating. Because none of those receipts can be used until that Tax Receipts Owed goes down to 0, and then starts accruing again. But it doesn't. Every level just adds +level to it. So if you got to level 14, you'd then owe 167, but it will only take 14.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. If it doesn't BREAK ANYTHING, however I suspect it might as the tax receipt owed backend may be interconnected with how Quest Turn-Ins are done, if you could alter the Tax Receipt Payment system to allow SINGLE RECEIPTS that would be lifechanging for those stuck with this bug. IE, change it so that lets say the node menu says you owe 150, you buy 50 receipts and pay, and it takes 50 - it does not require you to buy 150 receipts like a quest turn in trigger would. What makes me think it IS a quest backend system, is because it won't take any receipts unless you have the number shown in your inventory, even if that number is not what you're ACTUALLY owing the node. Allowing us to pay in singular Tax Receipts, should address the tax receipt hoarding issue many are facing.

1. Bard heals feel a little lack luster, thankfully the utility makes up for it; but i have had tanks die because the cleric was AFK and all my heals just dont keep them up; not sure if it matters to much right now, but definitely feels like you HAVE to have a cleric to do anything, especially since they have the only rez.

2. Feels like bards are relied on heavily for their mana regen, most of the time when im in a group; my song choice is mana, or mana. I dont have the ability to run 2 songs yet, but even google/reddit/discord conversations seem to be more centered around running the modifier to improve the mana song by 50% rather than running 2 songs.

3. Dying feels awful, as my group was farming, we had an accidental double pull and we wiped; many left and as i was making my way back to my corpse, the leader of the party got back first and looted everyones stuff, and when asked about it simply kicked. An appropriate timer to get back to your body to actually have the ability to get your stuff before your own party simply yoinks it would be nice; 5 minutes should suffice, im fine with dropping stuff but frankly i should have a due chance to get MY stuff before the first person that died gets back and takes it all.

   Important Feedback:
6. Guild Storage / Mailing system. There needs to be a way for a group of players to share resources easier as soon as possible. This feels like a crucial element for the current gameplay systems.
7. A AFK World Travel system that requires Glint and in which you cannot have materials in your bag while using. It feels like having some form of AFK Travel in the world would fit in well with some of the game loops. Everyone needs a minute sometimes to dive into chat or other social elements in the game while still making some form of travel progress in world.
8. Auto-Flag for PvP When entering a lawless zone. It's awkward to have to flag if you're already forcibly made a combatant.
9. Hitting a caravan needs to have more consequences, currently there's is no reason to run a caravan when you can just hit someone's directly outside of a node and get their exact turn in.
10. I know it was the holidays and I truly have loved my time playing this alpha and I can't wait to see what comes next, but I can't help to feel like the player base was a little abandoned by a presents of GM's or authority on the server during the Phase 2 Launch.

After hitting level 25 I found it difficult (and not worth the effort) to pursue artisan skills past apprentice due to lack of resources or the time needed to level the skills. Tanning is next to impossible to level to journeyman... let alone pursuing master/grandmaster. This also left content at level 25 to grow stagnant.
6. Spawns, Spawns, Spawns. The systems in place only favor larger guilds. Smaller guilds (those that stick to less than 30 members) have no hold on resources and cannot compete with the thousands of players online.

8. The desert needs more content. At launch of phase 2 there were lacking POI's in the desert, the nodes were not worth progressing or traveling to, and the desert served as just an exp grinding location. This hindered the node progression and harmony between the other nodes in the Riverlands because the mayoral candidates and those that planned a system to have all nodes reach journeyman/T4 included the desert nodes that could not (or would not) be progressed.

1. Resources need fixed. Increased spawns or higher yields or both. Tree yields are probably fine with the exception of Willow and Braidwood as they are just too rare. I feel a nice solution would be if a node sits in the world for a specified time, it rerolls itself. This way you aren’t stuck with an overabundance of Braidwood trees that can’t be chopped, similar to all the Iron nodes and other tier 3 nodes that can’t be harvested.
2. The Corruption system isn’t enough. We’ve already seen the huge issues when people hit 25. They bully everyone. A bunch of level 10s aren’t going to be able to touch a 25 who just wants to be a jerk. If Corruption was on attack instead of death, people would absolutely think twice. I’m not sure if this type of corruption would be very temporary or what but there needs to be a better way to dissuade people from being jerks, unless that is the intention all along? 25 is the cap and it’s really bad; imagine at 50?
3. All wars need an actual countdown. There needs to be time to react. Guild wars, node wars, and (I suspect) Node sieges. You need to give people time to realize what is happening so there isn’t always a massacre in town when a war is declared and a guild is unaware. When node sieges come, there should absolutely be time for people to try to get their stuff out of storage. In real history, it’s not like a city wakes up one day and is surrounded. Word travels. People can still be screwed even with the countdown if things don’t line up in real life but you can’t always make the defenders of any war/siege immediately put behind the curve.
4. Be way more harsh with those who are exploiting.
5. Wall of crazy here… but the combat log needs some updates. Need to see active buffs and debuffs, entering and exiting combat, etc. Anything you can send out in the world or receive, I want to see it.

1.Quality rating not affecting crafting professions anymore. You said it was bugged and providing too much, now it does nothing.. and we're just holding materials so we dont waste them for when it gets fixed "soon" /copium

2.Existing half-implemented or broken drops - i.e. Forsaken Blade Fragment is only rare drop material that drops as common, the recipe REQUIRES it be rare regardless of output rarity. Disproportionally disheartening for these small things to be major road blocks for farming fun and exciting gear

3.Severe lack of experience from quests/boards. A quest to go kill 30 goblins rewards the experience equivalent to killing 3 goblins. Bumping these numbers up, potentially even overtuned, would ad some variety and excitement to early leveling a bit.. helps keep people engaged longer.

4.Bags or general UI breaking - at least implement like a /reload command to reduce need to relog (assuming reloading the ui would fix?)

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1.Need some kind of clarity on feature implementation in a smaller window than per phase (which is months long) - really tired of Narc situations that happen with other players thinking/saying feature X will be implemented "next patch" or what was "start of p2". We're all begging for more features.. artisan skill trees

2.People's ability to CC players for gather nodes should be corruptable in some manner.. full PvP over a node is great, but one sided CC is very lame

3.XP rating on gathering should affect player XP as well, making it more viable leveling source; additionally higher artisan level required gatherables should reward more adventure xp than novice gatherables.

2. named mobs not being available/not spawning/taking way too long to spawn

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. i would like to see resource nodes go all the way to the edge of the map (seems once you get out "past" the cities there arent many spawns (except around POIs like Carph)
2. tank can be a little unfun to play right now. it punishes me that i always die first if im doing my job and having the worst repair bills, biggest xp debt, etc.
3. i think people dont like pvp or being forced to pvp because there is not much incentive for it right now.

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

• Healing modifiers becoming negative and damaging players. (Especially when killing blow on non-party member will give corruption)
• Storage Inventory totally deleting itself when Lionshold or Samia's Hope is clicked. (Any crates stored within storage inventory will instantly be deleted)
• Inventory bugging out when transferring items. UI not showing the transfer having occurred. While relog does fix the issue, it happens a LOT and breaks flow of gaming.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

• Enemy respawns. I believe there should be an indicator of enemies spawning. Some effect should indicate enemies are about to show up at this location to give a bit of time for players to respond. (It may not be an issue once the population is less dense and respawns are slowed back down, but would help anyway)
• Node quality being tied to fixed locations. This leads to horrible 'camp this location until this legendary node respawns play that is not fun. Hopefully the current system is a placeholder and a more dynamic system that prevents "camping one node for this location's respawn" from being a viable max/min strategy.
• Quality of materials in general. Having 6 grades of qualities clogs up inventory. Later on, I expect all goods will end up being very binary (Legendary or junk) WoW recently implemented a 3 star system for its goods and it quickly became 1 grade too many. I'd love to see some % based value (I think I remember SWG doing something like that). Not sure how it would be implemented...but I believe in you.
• Improved visual indicators for valid targets when in PVP. When pvp enabled, non-flagged players should have a clearly indicated lifebar color (Ex: White/Red/White/Red barbershop pole stripes) to prevent accidental corruption when in the fray of large battles.

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Inventory/Storage bugs causing constant relog to clear: unable to transfer between the two; unable to loot from monsters or gatherables, and my latest one is unable to select Send to Warehouse when finishing a processing job (250 hunts with skins/bones/fat doesn't fit in apprentice bags) even though there is space for it in the storage of that node.
2. Monster behavior around pathing, teleporting, or opening hit not registering damage and having to get closer and getting proximity agro before you can damage it. Respawns not happening or glitching in the terrain and not visible. Include the random agro to non-party members here (train griefing, etc)
3. Exploits on grinding monsters, dupping boss loot, glitching weapon finishers to proc when they aren't the used weapon, etc, giving groups a serious advantage in pvp.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Attacking caravans: it should have a cost of either a scroll to prepare like war decs, and/or a cooldown between selecting attacker repeatedly and/or some other throttle to prevent groups from halting all caravans. Also the additional armor/health on caravan parts should translate to the driver somehow. Having a million health caravan doesn't help when they can kill the driver in 5 seconds then take their time with the caravan itself.
2. Need gathering node balancing as high demand resources are limited in spawns (raptors, only 1 apprentice tree the willow when there's 4 novice, mean while for hunts the possibilities expand not collapse at apprentice), and expanded crafting recipes as well since there are processed goods that are dead ends, not used for anything.
3. Flagging for PvP should have a 5 minute minimum duration (including looting ashes), and a 1 minute persistence when unflagging, which is reset back to the full minute if they attack or take pvp damage. Show the person who looted your ashes on the minimap similar to corrupted players.

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:
• 1. Taxes bug – Logged off early on the last night of the servers being up because I didn’t want to accidently ding and then have to buy another 230 tax receipts to pay the extra 20 or whatnot
• 2. Inventory/looting breaking – The most common bug I experienced, it only takes the 15s relog to fix, but it’s really annoying as a secondary healer in group play. It puts the group in danger so I can get my loot.
• 3. Bard Song Visual Effect sticking – sometimes the rings around my bard wouldn’t go away when I changed songs. This made it difficult to know if my songs were working properly when using the multiple song skill. Early on when I was playing a bard it also made it hard to know if the song was working since their buff effect would sometimes be hidden in the “+x” section.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:
• 1. Visible buff count & order – As a bard, and with the node buff bug, I have a lot of buffs that change how I need to play. Sometimes the node buffs would push the more relevant bard buffs into the “+x” section making it difficult to actually play my class. This is especially noticeable when trying to run the ability that lets you run two songs at once since you can’t see the remaining time on the first song. Additionally, the songs visual effect sometimes sticking means you can’t trust the rings around your bard to know if affects are running.
• 2. T1 Resource availability – I’m of the opinion that getting artisan skills to level 10 should be very easy, as an introduction to how the systems work. I think copper should be far more common in particular for metalworkers & smiths in to ease themselves into the systems. I also think the same applies to tanners, though to a lesser extent since targeted farming is doable (maybe increase chance for a mob to come back as huntable based on having hunting gear equipped?). This would apply to flax if farming didn’t let you get around it.
• 3. Tank EXP debt (and repairs?) – Please throw tanks a bone, we really need them and I don’t enjoy playing them. I think a well flavored & balanced way to do this would be to give clerics a buff that they can only apply to one party member that reduces EXP debt / durability damage(maybe give bards this one?) on their next death. This way tanks and supports don’t have an advantage in solo content, but when they’re grouped up the Tanks aren’t being punished as harshly for a death that may not be their fault.

3. Weapon Tree passives working on weapons that are not active/equiped
4. Monster Leashing and Pathing as well as training exploits
5. Inventory not updating/desyncing with UI movements from bank or from picking up from mobs

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Punishment for Known and proven exploitation.
2. More risk for caravan attackers: crowbars being consumables via glint or being lost on death, max deaths per caravan event or cooldown on rejoining event
   Along with this giving some sort of benefit for defenders on killing an attacker or being in ZOI on completion. Possibly adding a payment mechanic for caravan driver
3. Willow is used in too many ingredients more options for tier 2 gatherables or allow combination of teir 1 into a tier 2 like metalworking of copper and zinc to brass or bronze

1. Inventory/ storage bug, (items not showing when moving/ not moving at all)
2. Citizenship is bugging such as payments to maintain etc, including the quests to get rewards
3. Bugged mob spawns. There are many instances of mobs (specifically minotaur berserkers) bugging out and being free farm locations or spawning immediately when killed, allowing players to exploit those while half-afk with no risk for extreme amounts of experience.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Facilitate crafting. Right now recipes require a lot of materials that are often rare with low spawn rates (copper, ruby, willow, etc.). Use other materials, decrease the amount of rare materials used, or increase the spawn rate of those materials to make crafting enjoyable.
2. Allow to process any number of items instead of set values like 1, 5, 10, or 25 at processing stations.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:
1.** Add Mules.** Doing Caravans is becoming annoying since players who don't have anything to do just like to keep tolling people around. So me with my only **10 Gold of commodities **caravan can't really be paying 5 gold fee to some random dude with a team.
So I concur with the caravan system when the caravan is already upgraded and we doing 500 GOLD+ per caravan runs.
But that little Mule which won't trigger event pvp and only flagging pvp and still doing maybe 1-3 gold each run is fine for me as a solo player which out of 1 run of caravan and earning 10+ gold i would need to do 5-10 mule runes to earn that 10 gold and I am ok with that less risk less reward.

• 3. Gatherable spawning inside terrain (I.E. stone/metal veins. Unable to harvest)

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

• 1. Balancing the cost of crafting vs gear drops from mobs. Heroic+ mats are too desirable/expensive, which makes it impractical to use for crafting. Gear drops flood the market, making crafting lvl0-19 gear pointless other than leveling crafting skill.
• 2. More Freeholds per node, or higher ratio of nodes:player count
• 3. Automated travel from major points of interest for a cost. Similar to DAoC. I love that there's no fast travel, but having to manually control my character when moving between nodes is tedious.

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

**1.)**Caravan disappearing/falling through the floor/becoming unable to be interacted with. Just all around caravan bugs that are stated elsewhere

**2.)**Gatherable nodes - spawning underground shared spawns with ungatherable materials everything. Imo nodes that currently cant be gathered by the servers progression (ie Journeymen and at the start apprentice shouldnt spawn until the server has unlocked it) Also Quality imo should be RNG not a specific node assigned at restart loot rng might not be fully working atm but yea.

**3.)**UI/UX bugs causing inventory to not display properly/loot to not appear picked up. Honestly feels like the UI is an overlay and not part of the game. i understand its likely a placeholder at this time but yea.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1.) Mob AI: I dont think that the current leashing issues/mob training is a bug I think its how the mob AI is currently designed. When they reach the end of their leash make them evade all attacks and run back to where their patrol is. This would solve mob training/teleporting/other wierd behavior.

2.) Mob tagging: currently mob tagging feels rough. Having mobs be seemingly un-tagable when a group of level 10s is working on a mob that a 25 runs by and 1 shots at 30% hp and the group gets no xp is a misplay don't know if mob tagging just isn't in the game currently.

3.) Hit tracking: Combat system currently has inconsistent hit tracking. In a game with blocking/dodge rolling hit tracking form the enemy to the player should be consistent with the animation or at least consistent enough that there can be a snapshot so to speak.

4.) Freeholds: Adding a tax to freeholds similar to citizen tax. Can be minimal like 1 tax receipt/week essentially an auto relinquish for long term inactivity. This is less of an alpha suggestion and more of a full launch suggestion. Preventing freeholds being owned by people who no longer play the game.

MOST Annoying Clunky Thing:
Revert Toggle Basic Attacks to what it was in Phase 1 - The current version of it turns off basic auto attacks on keybind press after engaging or target swtiching after a kill. This makes the game extremely clunky. Only current ways to deal with this is to press and hold basic attacks on action mode or tab target mode(both of which feels bad).

Caravan events if someone DC's or Alt+F4 (they continue to last and make you marked for pvp). 3. Gathering nodes spawning in trees, in the air, or in the ground. Important Feedback: 1. Punishment for exploitation (to include nodes and freeholds being downgraded or removed ownership). Citadel mobs need to have more areas that drop lvl 20 gear, with the only real farming place being in the sewers its camped by zergs 24/7. (Even if mobs lvl 16-18 have a small chance to drop lvl 20 gear would be amazing).

4. Inventory bugs (inventory not updating properly causing you to get on/off mount to update it and not being able to right click stuff into storage)

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. A way to transfer items between alts without relying on a friend or stranger. Maybe a shared storage you can purchase in town that's half the size for 5g or 10g or something idk.
2. Reduce the penalties of being a tank. Tank dies a lot due to random crits or the healer not paying attention or someone aggroing a bunch of stuff and the rest of the group lives. Add a res for clerics with a 10 minute cooldown or something that gives most of the exp back or reduces repair bill or something.
3. Seeds for nodes (trees etc) shouldn't be set on server start, locking in a specific quality for a specific spawn, it should either be random on spawn of the resource node, or random when you harvest it.

[cursive ember]

1. Crashing to windows/client freezing.
2. Inventory/harvest loot not showing up when harvesting(have to relog and that comes with issues too)
3. Node buffs not keeping their benefit after re loging(due to harvest not showing in inventory or such).
   The icon persist up top by nameplate but once you re log back in the benefits essentially gone, no longer applying the boost/benefit. And that goes with ALL buff scrolls.

Alpha Two Phase II Feedback Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:
• 1. Visual stretching and glitches with character models e.g. facial hair, the vekk model, capes, offhand/weapons not showing unless re-equipped.
• 2. Lighting glitches in carphin & forge; sometimes when a mobs hit you with a spell, it completely changes the lighting in the dungeon e.g. pitch black, or bright white. So, you’d be fighting a mob and suddenly you can’t see anything.
• 3. Inventory – Storage bugs, where you put an item in and its dupped (but only visually) until you relog.
• 4. The launcher downloading takes a huge toll on PC’s – not sure why this is.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:
• 1. Class, artisan, weapon and mount designs; very cool skill trees and options, excited to see augments later.
• 2. Griefing; mob training from high level players is a huge issue as it locks out low level players from levelling in certain areas without the ability to fight back. In EU the guild Sol Deus have been utilising this and perpetuating the narrative that if there is no system to stop it, they will continue doing it. There was even a guild made now which recruits’ people who want to explicitly grief in EU recruitment. This adds a huge amount of toxicity to the game.
• 3. Would be great to have a way to send mail to your alts and other players directly. Either through the mailing system, a storage shared for your alts, or a guild bank.

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:
1. Loot Bugs - Having to relog and missing loot over the inability to loot it is demoralizing. Anytime there is a loot window, i clam up and hope that it goes through without a relog.
2.Trade Bug - loosing items to the ether when a trade confirms with one person but leaves the other stuck in a window until they relog... So Many precious materials Lost to nothingness (and testers too).
3. Inventory/Storage Bugs - not being able to rearrange inventory or bank without relogging is demoralizing after a long grind fest or poi grind. It's rough. I experience most of these issues in heavily populated server workers, so likely a correlation.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:
1. Node leveling versus artisan leveling versus adventure levels - We have a huge disconnect between the speed at which a Player can level their archetype level, versus being able to craft something actually useful for them. The current Loop Feels like you should ignore artisan's until you hit 25, because the node's still won't be caught up to you anyway. Therefore you're better off hitting poi's for loot. Either starting zones need to have up to apprentice tables, or node's need to be able to hit apprentice in roughly the same amount of time a player can level to 10. Having two tier's of dead levels of artisan feels awful. (Optimizing lvl 10 gear at legendary because node's won't be able to hit journey fast enough... feels like a Band-Aid; not gameplay as intended, you can do better).
2. Tanks feel like wet sheets of paper, swinging wet noodles - I'm no stranger to tanks not being a super powerful archetype. But man we are at such a disadvantage in the game, first one into the fray last one to leave. Because of that constantly in red bar, needing to repair, and heavy gear costing the most to repair sets a tank up for a pretty vicious cycle of suck if they are unlucky enough to get one bad group after the other. Tanks need more ways to regenerate stamina for dodge tanks... or more mitigation for soak tanks... currently we can build full strength and be a discount fighter in pvp and hit fairly decently... but we have to give up all our tankiness which is fair... However there's not enough defensive stats to make us feel sufficiently tanky in PVE alone.
3. Tell @slate mica he's awesome and his vision is shared by many nerds out there, and That we appreciate the double edged sword he deals with for us being able to have a voice in the creation of his game.

[thorn seal]

Top 5 Critical Bugs:

1. Caravan Teleportation Bug: When selecting "Let’s go to Carphin," the caravan instantly teleports players across the map to Carphin, disrupting gameplay.

2. Glint Looting Issue: The Glint system is bugged, preventing players from interacting with or looting items, which negatively impacts progression.

3. Lag-Induced System Failures: During periods of lag, critical systems such as the XP system, market functionality, and chat often stop working, significantly hindering the experience.

4. Caravan System Problems:
   Boat-to-Caravan Conversion: Caravan boats in water sometimes convert to normal caravans, causing them to drown the player.
   Teleportation Glitch: Caravans can unexpectedly teleport players to Carphin, disrupting travel.
   Underground Glitch: Caravans occasionally sink into the ground, preventing players from mounting them and forcing a lengthy wait for respawn.
   Erratic Movement: Caravans sometimes enter "Tokyo Drift" mode, where they can only drift in place, making control impossible.
   Lag-related Issues: Caravans may provide elastic band-like behavior, teleporting players back 5–10 minutes after they’ve already traveled, likely due to lag.
   Disappearing Caravans: Occasionally, caravans will vanish without explanation.
   Caravan Transformation: Caravans sometimes turn into basic boxes, rendering them unusable.

5. Lighting and Visual Issues: Some Points of Interest (POIs) experience extreme lighting inconsistencies, going from blindingly bright to nearly pitch black. Additionally, the “Disco Bug” causes targeted mobs to become unnaturally bright, affecting visibility and gameplay.

Top 5 Key Feedback Points:

1. Mob AI Issues:
   Aggro and AI Behavior: Mobs sometimes follow the player indefinitely, or fail to react entirely, creating frustrating and unpredictable encounters.
   Scarabs in the Desert: Non-3-star scarabs exhibit no AI behavior, making them feel lifeless and unengaging.
   Aggro Bugs in Groups: Mobs often fail to shift aggro properly, even when taunted or targeted. This delay in aggro management can cause frustration, especially in group settings.
   Mob Training: Some players exploit mob AI by intentionally training mobs onto other players, causing wipes in group content. This is a frustrating mechanic that needs improvement.

2. Questing & Progression: The quest system feels like an endless grind, primarily requiring players to kill the same mobs repeatedly. This lack of variety in quest objectives makes progression feel repetitive and tiresome.

3. Lack of Narrative Direction: Currently, the game lacks a clear narrative or purpose. While players may enter the world via a portal, there’s little sense of who or what they’re fighting against, and no clear overarching goal or story to drive motivation.

4. Resource Gathering & Economy: Gathering resources, especially tier 2 materials like copper, can be unnecessarily challenging, as these resources are scarce and often overlap with higher-tier resources. This scarcity, paired with their importance for progression, makes gathering feel tedious and unbalanced.

5. PvP Balance Issues: PvP combat currently feels too reliant on who attacks first. Some classes, like bards, can easily 1-shot others, making PvP feel more about speed than skill. A more balanced and tactical approach to combat is needed to ensure that players have more room to counterplay and strategize.

1. I wanted to make this a post on its own, because I love this game thus far and what is to come. I believe having guides, like ashes codex should be a discouraged, guides in general. At the end of the day the game is built on its community and knowledge is power, finding out which mobs spawn where, where certain ore spawn, or where to find certain things you look for should be a learning experience, and gaining that knowledge through others. Like if there were ever secrets put into the game for us to find, like hidden dungeons, imagine being the player to find it, getting gear, or items people have never seen before, the amount of interest that could spark. I think there just something players themselves need to figure out on their own, having loot tables ruins some aspect. Just my feedback, I’d love to talk more into this if there were any ideas I could pitch or share. Thank you for taking the time to read this if you do.

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. mob training onto people
2. inventory freezing / lack of updating until relog
3. taxes seem buggy as the amount I owe keeps changing - I had dropped it a lot and then the number suddenly boosted again even though I hadn't leveled. And what activities are supposed to drop the amount don't seem to work reliably.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Lag in high pop areas is getting very frustrating .. but I expect this is a longer-term fix. Lately I've been crashing a lot more in cities.

2. Quest issues (can't complete, lacking info where to go on some, quest items not on the quest tab, trouble finding the turn-in, inconsistent quest icons on the map) are another big thing that needs attention, but that may be a longer-scope issue as it's likely a lot of little things that need to be fixed and tweaked. A more overall things I've noticed with quests -- the list of tracked quests tends to randomly put stuff on it after I log out (doesn't save what I had showing). Not the end of the world but irksome.

3. Getting notice level metals is a right pain. I often just mine out stone when I see it, but odds are I won't be around when the node respawns, so I kinda feel like it's all for naught for me. Largely I want to get metal to donate to the town, but I so rarely get metal that I feel like I'm hamstringed in being a good citizen. While scarcity does need to be a factor, slightly boosted the chance of metals like copper would be good. It just feels like too big a bottleneck right now. (though as the map expands I imagine this will need to be looked at again)

4. Hunting is very frustrating right now. Hard to find hunting spawns. Could app+ hunters have some other way to hunt creatures? Have a skill from a hunting item (net?) that lets us stalk up and trap appropriate critters. Maybe some sort of contested event with the creature. Petting to death is weird (esp with horses.. that bothers me on a personal level).

Overall, amazing work, but there is def more road to go. Thank you!

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1 - World bosses spawn when servers restart, when meshes crash and after every maintenance.
2 - Monster AI enabling mob trains.
3 - Caravans vanishing, sometimes you end up losing it entirely.
4 - Mobs getting bugged into corners and never respawning or resetting.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1 - Corruption is extremely punitive which encourages "griefing". A temporary solution would be to at least make World Boss fight a PvP zone while fixing corruption, because currently it is completely unfeasible to open PK with this state of corruption.
2 - The game gets very laggy during large scale PVP.
3 - Actual PVP war declaration scrolls are too expensive for how guilds are structured (50 members).
4 - Have more GMs playing around with systems and available to teleport to exploits, bugged players and so on.
5 - FPS drops after the game being open for a while.

Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs/Feedback:

1. Inventory bug. Items are not showing as picked up, or put into storage. Sometimes unable to loot glint unless relog;

2. Mobs leash too early / deagro too early. Mobs need to not leash so easily so as to not encourage people running through areas and dropping threat easily. Mobs should stay aggroed on someone who aggroes throught the node.

3. Named respawns too fast, and general respawns too fast. Named mobs respawning every 20ish min is way too fast, 40min was much better. Mobs spawning every 3-5min is wayyyy to fast - let people deal with the scarcity of mobs, having them respawn too fast when you are clearing or even fighting a named mob that has trash mobs next to it is a nightmare.

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Inventory storage not moving when clicked. Must relog to see the changes.
2. Glint pickup bug. Same as above. Must relog to fix.
3. Party members not being able to see each other. Party members experiencing the problem either change the group to raid and back again or must relog to fix.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Mob Training. Such an annoying situation. They train mobs into crowds that get overwhelmed, which wipes the group, then loot all of the piles. If you attack someone that looted your pile, you turn purple and get attacked by some random that kills you for purples tagging and loot you again.
2. Red tagging timers. Usually a problem during defending yourself against looters. If I attack someone and their purpled timer runs out during the attack, I red tag, get killed and lose gear.

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Treasure Maps, currently treasure maps are bugged in a away that when collecting if you don't rapidly collect them you can not collect loot, You also have to delete the quest after you pick up treasure and after x amount of deletions your character is unable to open another map for a quest.
2. Caravans (teleport to Carphin leaving caravan exposed to be attacked without defense, unrecoverable caravans when placed on SW borders, the caravan driver buff to reduce incoming damage is not being applied to auto-attacks, only abilities)
3. Scarce resource nodes spawning underground and in rocks making already scarce resources, non-harvestable.
   Inventory and loot bugs where items cannot be looted from mobs or harvests or when interacting with storage, inventory items don't display properly.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Griefing. Training mobs or level 20+ attacking level 10 caravans runners seems too unbalanced. While this may be fine for release, PVP and grieving needs heavy penalties so that more things can be tested. It makes it difficult to test the systems in place as they cannot be explored because of the amount of grieving.
2. Crafting and the materials needed to level crafting should be revisited. The interdependency between crafting professions seems okay, but the choice for materials on how each skill is leveled seems random and inconsistent.
3. Leveling pace from adventuring vs crafting/processing/gathering should be more balanced. Right now, adventures rush to max level while dedicated artisans crawl along.

Top 3-5 Feedback Items:

1. Keep doing what you're doing... haters gonna hate! You made fair warning what we were purchasing and the team has delivered.

2. Thank you for keeping the servers up for that stretch of time. I hope the team had a restful break and we played the game in the state that it was in.

3. I would appreciate if your team could look into the exploiting players, as it is demoralizing putting in 200 hrs of grind to get to levels attained in the first day. I feel confident that the exploiters will get bored and move on and the players with integrity will ban together and keep a fun community going. Castus was a much healthier environment with a much better vibe and guild cooperation.

3. Chat choices not persisting after logout

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Gathering needs some love. 10% of the time it feels great, 90% of the time it is just frustrating and feels like a waste of time. Either need to change the respawn timers, or add more randomness, or increase amounts. It is incredibly frustrating running around trying to find a particular resource. Right now it just really does not feel like the gathering in its current form respects the time and effort of the players so I hope you all have planned changes for it.
2. Guilds need to have the ability to be much much larger. Let it cost more money to increase the size of the guild with a tax on the guild for its size or something. I love the idea that it takes a team to really reach the best in crafting, but with the small guild size it just feels so painful/cumbersome to make that happen.
3. Guild bank. Please for the love of god add a guild bank of some sort.
4. Marketplace is very frustrating to use in its current format, please add a search by type ability.

Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:
1.There is a tank immunity bug where they dont take dmg
2.There is a way to stay disconected and invincible and non aggro to mobs but you can still move nova has done this
3.Mage among other snare or immo cleanses dont work
4. Freehold Willow Trees among other items in the game giving the correct items
5. FireBrand boss fight will automatically almost always bug it self out by it self and you have no control over it.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Maybe having a review on the profession recipie requirements, some of them shouldnt require too many other professions just to get the level up; maybe keep the big recipies to have to require those mixes togehter but at least having some self profficiency so you are able to focus on your craft as a true professional of that profession.
2. I do believe that wardecks need to be adjusted for the amount that you have have up on a single guild among the DR the guild should get to be immune unless they chose to wardeck themselves. at least to a resoanable amount so they can recover themselves and play the game.
3. I do believe that the end-game dungeons and raids should be instaced so that people are still able to farm at max without having a single guild controling entire continents and holding all the resources. I believe it would be fun to inclusde certain endgame dungeons only openworld but nothing that is required to farm as a "pre-raid bis". This will still have the fun element of pvp but wont restrict people to farming good items to compete in fun events like the wars and caravans themselves to enjoy the game fully to the extent that you worked on those fun systems. To be able to have a good level playing field and having a good fight feels incredible.
4. I believe the treasure map can be more fun than it currently is. You could include hints to where it is near describing locations as areas becomes troublesome to even complete.
5. I believe some resource-node variance is nice like Willows spawning everywhere, but I believe you should still include some couple of set spawns so players are able to at least work with other professions that require those logs; or at least increase the amount of spawns

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:
1.Quests should give some more XP. I've done a good amount of quests/commissions and the leveling has been super slow
2.Commissions should stay around the selected town/area. Some of them send you across the map to complete and it gets annoying when you want to stay in one area
3. Gear is super hard to find when you are questing around in the early game. Im close to level 10 and i still have a lot of my starter gear. Not sure if buying the gear is the way to go ----- Been Having a blast overall Can't wait for this months updates! Thanks team!

[inland sand]

======================
Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Caravan issues - stuck deploying, disappearing, teleporting across the map, etc. I think caravans are going to make or break this game so the system has to be flawless.
2. Inventory/loot desync problems - seems like server lag causing a lot of desync between client and item management functionality. monsters are dropping loot as expected, but having to relog or remount to have loot show up in inventory is a struggle.
3. Mobs Pathing/Aggro - the issues we're seeing with mobs getting stuck on terrain or other geometry as well as them aggroing players outside of your immediate party are enabling players to play outside of the intended design, including griefing. Fix this stuff and I'd bet you stop hearing a lot of other negative feedback.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. The game looks INCREDIBLE on Ultra settings! I'm playing at 40fps most of the time just because of how good everything looks. Lighting, shadows, the special effects in certain places... keep up the fantastic work on this front y'all!
2. Add more POIs and events to the world. Doesn't matter if it's the desert, tropics, riverlands, or a new biome. Players need a reason to get off of the currently beaten path and I imagine being able to spread out will end a lot of the whining about the competition for mobs/grind spots/resource nodes.
3. Archetype skill trees need a bit of a rework or we need secondaries added. I'm sure this is coming, but it currently feels like my last 4-5 skill points are unimportant and I suspect that's the case for others as well. Specifically on Ranger, the top of the tree feels completely useless so it's basically take everything in the first two tiers.

Caravans not working as intended. 3. Items not showing up in your material spots in game after playing for 20 minutes or going through several zones. 4. Broken quests. Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics: 1. To many players at launch in too small of an area resulted in few gatherable or playable zones. Also to many players just grinding for 24 hours or so to get to lvl 25. 2. To many players at lvl 25 then deciding to play another alt. 3. The economy on the servers is better but still not great just look at how high node taxes are!!! Need more nodes to give us more crafting especially Journeyman levels and above. The whole system needs to be tested. Also many lvl25 players were going to starting zones to get common gatherables to make buildings in their nodes resulting in new players having problems with learning crafting etc. To easy to get top end mounts which means to much money in the game. On the first week of this launch cycle no one believed most of the quests were working or giving good drops so all they did was fight. Many quests I bet have yet to be fully tested.

[craggy grove]

Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. The XP grind only hurts the game's test at this point. There's no point in taking so long to level up and to test the game's systems since our progress will get wiped and most of other features aren't implemented yet (e.g, quests and events). Right now it takes a significant amount of time to be able to go to high level places or to dedicate itself to professions and farms, which ends up burning people out of the game, since the only real way to level up is to grind same monsters in the same spot hours at end.
2. Melee classes are in a very bad spot. Tanks are a pain to level up alone, having no skills that really represent the class until later on and are basically useless alone. Fighters suffers from similar problems, being really hard to level up alone, since, like tanks, you have to expose yourself to melee range while others can just kite away mobs. Both classes are usually the first to perish and end up being punished by xp, loot and durability losses, in the current state of the game, where several mobs can one-shot you.
3. Since Tanks and Fighter have their skills are tied to melee weapons, different from mages and clerics that can use whatever they want, those classes could use some buff/rework. I'd like to see some kind of skill tree that enables a tank to trade some toughness for some damage, and for the fighter to be able to act as a off-tank of sorts, since he's already in melee range.
4. Some sort of fast travel. Having to walk 10+ min to get somewhere and find out that the party is disbanded and you have to walk back, isn't a good use of our time. At least between cities or to our home city, even if we have a timer, like once every 10 minutes that would be awesome
5. Gear status. Rn, upgrading your gear and going from 1 str to 2str is just too frustrating. Changing rarities/tiers and getting a marginal upgrade make this process kinda pointless
   ======================

[neat blaze]

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Monsters getting glitched on walls/stairs over the course of the day, leaving less mobs to grind over time
2. Caravans being unreliable and vanishing, being able to stop an attack with logging off.
3. Some resources respawn in the same place, allowing alts to camp them.
4. World bosses must be on a random timer and not on server restart
5. Inventory and stats glitch and we have to relog to fix, same for party invites, looting, etc.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Cleric and bard are extremely overtuned for pvp conflicts, bard one shots and a single cleric can survive 3 people attacking him.
2. Allow world bosses to be more competitive by not having them on a set timer
3. Keep up the good work, it's been a blast.

Feedback:

1. Either remove AFK fishing or make other skills AFKable

[iron meteor]

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Server Load Combat/Rubber Banding
2. PVP flagging/griefing w/certain abilities or training mobs
3. Limited or unreachable nodes limit crafting exploration - for example Copper is rare - It would be nice if this was more available to allow more people to delve into crafting

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. No audible feedback for whispers/tells - Noises also make chat more accessible for those with vision impariments & rely more on sounds
2. Slash to chat - typing /tell or /party should automatically start typing in the chat window, versus requiring me to physically click the chat frame. No idea if I'm doing something wrong, but trying to engaged in text chat feels different/not intuitive when compared to other MMOs like WoW/EQ/DAOC
3. Accessibility options like increased cursor size or colors could be a big help to visually impaired players. The cursor blends in very easily with particle effects, and even with them turned all the way off/down its still difficult to see the small brown/gold cursor on brown/gold dirt ground backgrounds. Accessibility is usually a beta priority vs alpha, but could be useful in Alpha for both players and feedback on whats working for ACA compliance and what isn't, and lets more players experience the game earlier/longer. thank you for all you guys do on this! been fun! ❤️

Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Mount bug: Mounts stop moving if you click or do anything (like checking inventory) while running unless you engage auto-run.
2. Inventory bug: Inventory not updating when moving something to/from one bag to another, or to/from storage until you close and reopen the inventory.
3. **Hitching bug: ** regularly hitching and feeling like I'm rubber banding in place, necessitating I stop moving for a few seconds, sometimes even have to jump once, before being able to walk forward. Primarily happens when changing server workers.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. PVP Flagging: People do not stay purple long enough. The current 1 minute timer encourages theft, since you can't return fast enough to identify who stole it. A level 25 attacking a low level when gathering a node to scare them off since they can't fight back or risk losing shit sucks. Players should at least have to stay purple for a long enough time to risk being attacked by a different level 25 and lose their shit.
2. Copper: Copper supply/demand scarcity actually kind of feels good on the market, but it's not fun running around for hours being unable to find a single node when you're trying to mainly play as a miner. The prevalence of copper as an ingredient in level 1 and level 10 crafting recipes, compared to it's spawn rate makes it far too much of a bottleneck for for the current crafting recipes.
3. Crafting Rarity: Too easy to craft high rarity stuff. Should require more than the mats being a higher rarity.
4. Crafting Gear: It is very tedious swapping crafting/gathering shirts every time you change stations. Even just swapping between two shirts.
5. Grinding Low Level: Grinding lower level mobs is far too efficient. The spawn rate around the Aela ruins, and drop rate of glint and gear, makes grinding it even at level 10 feel way too efficient compared to similar level mobs.
   ==============

[subtle canopy]

Top 3-5 most important bugs:

1. Corruption baiting
2. Cleric corruption on healing issues
3. Dropping gear from consensual pvp due to corruption issues

It takes hours, days, or longer to find and create the perfect gear sets and the flaws with pvp can take that away in an instant. Caravan fights feel good although if you’re in a caravan zone after a certain amount of time it should allow the caravan runner to mark you as an attacker. Still further some kind of pvp zone to allow fights without corruption would be nice.

[fickle vault]

Bugs
1 - Inventory bugs are rampant.

• Unable to loot glint, but able to loot other items, what? UE5 is object oriented based, ie use a base object that handles all the lootable objects, and make children of that object for things like glint, swords, maps, etc? Seems like your codebase is spread out trying to keep different implementations of looting across various loot items.
• Loot/gather something, it not showing up in inventory.
• Same with moving items too/from storage.

2 - Some players able to use maps and others not, seems strange that.

3 - Cleric heal bug of healing someone with a certain poison causing damage instead. I actually like this unintended bug - just remove the killing causing corruption and it'd be a nice feature that clerics have to work around - IE curing with purify their target. Though, there could be a grief component of enemy healers purposefully healing poisoned players, so watch out for that.

Feedback
1 - Basically the game favors big guilds.

• They get to own and take anything they want
• They get mayor w/ flying mounts and nobody else does
• Mayors decide how a node gets developed. IE if you want more bank space, and they don't, or they turn it into one big factory without artisan upgrades - tough luck.

2 - One person can prevent the enjoyment of a spawn area via training mobs, loot bodies of the people that die, and nothing can be done to prevent it. I've heard Steven say that mobs will have a mechanism to prevent this, but that's a joke. The trained mobs will be AoE'd by the group trained upon, they'll take agro, not because they want them, but because of mechanics and be overwhelmed.

3 - Crafting (specifically Gathering) sucks. Crafting is supposed to be central to AoC, yet nobody can make anything for their current level of advancement. Even then, without an entire huge guild backing them up with gathered supplies and money its entirely impossible.

• suggestions, lionhold and samias should have novice benches right from the start. Materials for comparable gear should be readily available in the newbie farming areas. Nodes should start with apprentice benches and materials need to be more available, such that even those in non-big guilds can compete.

4 - Flagging system needs work.

• If a person loots a body they should stay flagged to the player, party, guild and/or those that'd been nearby, and remail killable for some time afterwards, or if killed by them the killers shouldn't be marked as corrupted simply because of a mechanic of the flag disappearing.
• removing your flagged status, but you're in combat or have been within the last 5 minutes or so, shouldn't remove the flag until that time has passed.
• PvP only areas, those there should be actually flagged and not require those within to flag up to heal the 'flagged' and to attack. As it stands, it's a mess.

5 - Clerics need a group purify and/or be able to cast purify on self even while silenced.

6 - res scrolls need to be added such that other non-clerics can res members. Basically, a party that loses their healers is stuck and must run/train out to get back to their healers. A res scroll in the hands of one person could get a healer back on their feet. I've seen res scrolls in other games help with this. Put a long CD on the use if need be. Enough people in group / raid can keep the party from collapsing in a sticky situation.

7 - Node buffs should be separate from combat buffs under a character's party frame. Also, don't do the +5 or whatever for buffs without any means of seeing what they are. Similar buffs should stack, like the mining ones and then show total advancement.

8 - The map needs names of locations placed on it.

[vernal beacon]

Good afternoon to the glorious AoC developers!
I have an interesting bug. If I died from a mob and was picked up by a party healer, very often I started sticking to the mob (I was drawn to it like rubber), which I started attacking. It was fixed by changing the attack mode.
What I would like to draw your attention to in the context of 3-5 points.

1. Think about increasing the chance of colored carcasses above green. This applies to all hunting goals. For example, it is almost impossible to get a GREM blue carcasses and higher.
2. Think about increasing the number of veins for mining. Starting with Apprentice grade minerals, it takes a very, very, very long time to collect the right amount of minerals to level up craft, even if you only do this. And in the guild, few people quickly level up their craft to Apprentice grade and above.
3. Increase the number of professions that can be pumped to the maximum in Gathering and Processing.
4. Give the tank more Solo damage to mobs. Currently, even Healer can deal more damage than a tank. This leads to the fact that tanks almost (except for bugged mobs :)) cannot pump in Solo where other classes can, which is not fair.
5. Slightly reduce the aggro from Healer.
   The first 3 points lead to the fact that craft lags far behind lvling due to grind on mobs, which in turn raises the question of the relevance of craft in intermediate development.

[rough vector]

Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Resource Spawn Mechanics
   Resource collection and crafting end up being a central focus for everyone. The current setup leads to heavy spawn-camping of broken resource nodes. Please switch to a chance-based resource spawn with proper rarity scaling and remove “campable” broken spawns.

2. Hunting Drops Placeholder
   Make legendary resources obtainable through hunting. Mobs (like gremlins, crows, spiders, boars) should respawn randomly in the same area with a chance-based timer, rather than having fixed spawn locations.

3. Drop Rate Rework
   Crafting suffers from inconsistent drop rates. For instance, it should be possible to obtain legendary spider silk from spiders.

4. Resource Gathering in Freeholds
   Gathering certain materials requires excessively large amounts. Freeholds currently offer a quick solution, but this drastically affects prices (especially wood and herbs). The sheer volume of wood needed for almost everything is too time-consuming, which feels unbalanced even for an alpha phase.

5. Enchanting System Balance & Server Stability

Enchanting: Please nerf this as soon as possible. For example, a level 10 earring upgraded to +9 granting 20 stat points is overpowered.

Server Stability & Rendering: Some players have minimal issues, while others experience extremely short render distance (even on high-end hardware and ultra settings). This inconsistency needs urgent attention.

[wanton verge]

======================
Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Resource spawns being bricked (willlows specifically since a vast majority of the lvl 10 crafting requires them). Also inventory bugs in cities is mind-numbing.

2. Hunting rarity, over 400 animals harvested not a single heroic+ not counting countless other guildies.

3. Caravans being bugged from existence even with the reset button and no way to cancel them from the vendor. Caravan events should be tied to the party or raid leader picking on and names should be applied to the events so you don't accidentally defend or attack someone you're trying to help.

4. PvP Flags dropping mid combat should never be a thing and would almost prefer a system similar to WoW where you're either flagged 100% or you're not and the timer is longer than an minute to drop.

5. Can't see buffs on characters because we all have 38 node buffs, have a way to condense specific buffs or allow us to click off node buffs if we want.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Better POIs to level since the questing system isn't in the game really would alleviate a ton of the drag that is lower levels outside a good group farming church/oaken/HH/estates (feels like half the ppl don't know this place exists).
2. Crafting rarity MUST give more xp than default crafts otherwise there is almost no point to higher rarity crafts outside BIS gear.
3. Resources should be tied to the nodes level and available work benches in the world. It would feel way more immersive if t3 nodes didn't exist/we couldn't "discover/identify" them till somewhere in the entire world a bench was built. This would help make sure not just the top players have anything of quality but also make it feel like getting anything under heroic when you chop a willow or mine copper doesn't feel terrible. Might see 3 willows a day and when i get white wood from it then it feels awful.
4. Each POI should have it's own server worker, at least for right now and maybe if you guys learn how to spin them up better during alpha then during launch areas that are high congestion inside POIs can have adjusted server workers to compensate. Carphin/Steelbloom are slideshows at times even on my pc which normally runs the remainder of the game at highest settings 1440p/120fps minimum. No reason to have cities like Winstead on the same SW as the best gear farm in the game (steelbloom pools).
5. Speaking of loot, there should be more viable ways to farm gear than 2-3 specific rooms in the entire node. I'm not saying nerf said 3 locations like Steelbloom pool area but killing 10 mobs there and netting 8 items vs killing 300 mobs inother areas at Steelbloom/Seph/Carphin and maybe seeing 2-3 drops doesn't feel very good.

[jolly mirage]

Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Too small render distance in PVP conflicts - even if it's just two full raids fighting each other, the render distance becomes so small that it's extremely difficult to coordinate the fight
2. Issues with rendering raid/party members on the world map - needing to zoom in/out or toggle player visibility on/off for a moment to figure out where people are is very painful
3. Getting corrupted when killing PVP flagged targets - I don't know if this is because the flag sometimes expires a moment before the killing blow, or for some other reason, but it happens very often
4. Logged out players/caravans still despawn from the game, even if they are pulled into combat

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Caravans are currently the #1 source of endgame PVP content, but organizing as defenders/attacker is extremely painful, especially when both sides have caravans up. It should be quick and easy to group caravans together, and to join entire raids as attackers or defenders to a whole group of caravans.
2. Becoming a caravan attacker could really use some kind of investment, so it's not low risk/high reward gameplay anymore. For example, a glint cost, a gold cost, some kind of attacker scroll sold at nodes, etc.
3. Processing improvements: a slider for selecting amounts + being able to combine different rarities when processing would make the system way better

[sleek stirrup]

======================
Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Monsters aggro'ing on groups by other players purposely training them over. Monsters should remain aggro'd on initial player or at least a player who damages them. Healers seem to be targeted by mobs first often, when healing/threat shouldn't have built up for the trained mob

2. Lag during large scale events or PVP is unplayable. It's mashing buttons and hoping that your skills are counted, with no strategy or counter play possible

3. Unable to loot - nothing sadder than a legendary item sitting on the ground with an inactive "F" key 😦 😦

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Some crafts are prohibitively expensive. ie. Scribing needing 5 rubies to make 1 scroll. Perhaps some qualities of materials should process into more mats like 1 ruby makes 5 ruby powder, or reduce the cost of the scroll to 1 ink

2. Node Wars - There should be a toggle in settings to be a non-combatant. Some of us have jobs and kids and can't sit and focus on an unplanned event - we have some time to craft or gather and that's it for the night

3. Reduce glare from friendly effects, the skill effects are too much visually. Allow people to dull them down or turn them off please

Honestly the game is a lot of fun and the bugs will be fixed in time

1. Gatherables not correctly detecting the terrain and ending up floating up out of reach or embedded in the ground or rocks. this is particularly frustrating with willow trees. It might be partially mitigatable by expanding the harvest detection bounding/collision box vertically.

2. Desert nodes need their commodities repaired for trade.

3. Inventory update failures. Yes logging out for 15 seconds then back in usually fixes it but this can also result in item loss.

4. Caravans vanishing if you attempt to convert between carriage/raft or vice versa at server worker handoff points, in particular if part of the caravan crosses the line at the time of conversion.

5. Player characters regularly develop a flicker effect as either skin flips back and forth between a preset and the intended look, or garments/armor flashes on/off or invisible/visible. This is a potential seizure or migraine trigger.

1. Bug inconveniences and frustrations aside, For an Alpha the game is in an incredibly functional and beautiful state. I am thoroughly enjoying multiple aspects of it. Well done.

2. I'd love to see an earlier than "close to launch" integration of controller support. I am occasionally using a Steam interface to do it when my hands aren't working, but minimal support so I can just remap keys from within game would be amazing for accessibility.

2. The trading and storage bugs that delete items.
3. CCs on non-combatants. According to the wiki this is not intended, but it is widespread in contesting harvestables. Fix it so I can stop listening to people whine and debate about it being griefing. Also used to wipe parties (CCing tanks or healers during pulls)
4. Mob aggro behavior to make Mob Training behave as intended. Just like the CC stuff, this is rampant as a 'method of contesting mobs', and I am tired of people calling out for bans for exploiting over it.
5. Deadly Healing bug. I have seen healers go corrupt for this, party members killed, etc.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Mega Guilds. Whatever you plan to combat them, get it in. My guild is bigger than 100 and we still feel impotently small most of the time.
2. Low critical resource availability with the high contention makes crafting miserable to even begin. 6 raptors in a single spawn location to supply the entire world? Why aren't Otters the main t2 leather instead? Also, no heroic+ hunting mats why?
3. Markets NEED an actual search by item. As 'fun' as it is to find a deal by sifting thru 120 pages...
4. Coordinating the multiple steps for crafting is such a pain, that only becomes somewhat manageable thru heavy use of the (flawed) market, or by iron-fisted crafting dictatorships. Without having job boards, or actual guild banks, or any other systems to help coordinate crafts makes crafting far past 'difficult' and over into the massive PITA
5. No one like Zombies, even in hugely contested mob situations they will barely be pulled. The 100% no-heal debuff, re-applied from a persistent ground effect is overkill. Make it 90% or ANYTHING else

3. We need well-defined visual discrepancy between abilities that are used by players and NPCs in the combat (as they are the same the visuals are also the same)

2. Caravans (teleport to Carphin leaving caravan exposed to be attacked without defense, unrecoverable caravans when placed on SW borders, the caravan driver buff to reduce incoming damage is not being applied to auto-attacks, only abilities)
3. Scarce resource nodes spawning underground and in rocks making already scarce resources, non-harvestable.
   Inventory and loot bugs where items cannot be looted from mobs or harvests or when interacting with storage, inventory items don't display properly.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Griefing. Training mobs or level 20+ attacking level 10 caravans runners seems too unbalanced. While this may be fine for release, PVP and grieving needs heavy penalties so that more things can be tested. It makes it difficult to test the systems in place as they cannot be explored because of the amount of grieving.
2. Crafting and the materials needed to level crafting should be revisited. The interdependency between crafting professions seems okay, but the choice for materials on how each skill is leveled seems random and inconsistent.
3. Leveling pace from adventuring vs crafting/processing/gathering should be more balanced. Right now, adventures rush to max level while dedicated artisans crawl along.

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. I disliked the bug where I would go to loot glint off a mob, only to not be able to get it and then would have to relog. But relogging would take away all my buffs from towns, scrolls and foods :(.
2. It made me very angry to run on a road when one of the elitist guilds were out terrorizing the lowbies trying to run caravans. Its not cool and i hope there are stiff penalties for those individuals. If i had spent all day getting supplies, glint, mats around to run a caravan then have a bunch of level 25's roll through and wipe out everyone's caravan, I personally would rethink if i wanted to test this game anymore. It was NOT ok to see 20 caravans outside lionhold with all their drivers piles on the ground.
3. As a healing cleric i would love to help protect caravans but where is the incentive for me to do so. I have grinded my buns clean off and still am only level 20. I still could not hold my own against 25's. So no point to this system in its current state.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Crafting- I'm playing a healing cleric and where is the cloth gear? I cannot possibly get enough mats in time before i out level the beginning range gear. I'm now level 20 and my tailoring is only rank 8. This gear is useless now and makes it harder for me to level. Trying to compete over very scarce resources isn't fun. What's the point of becoming a tailor if i can't utilize the gear as i level?
2. Finding appropriate level mobs was sometimes very difficult. Killing like a 1000 bears was super boring and not something i am willing to do again if you should wipe this now. The poi's were noting but lag and mob training fests. Who wants to play in that situation? I opted out completely. Locations, density and respawns need to be addressed.

1 - General interactions between walls.environment and abilities
2- Monster Training/Passive Aggroing
3- Corruption Baiting (When flagging a player can engage in pvp and unflag during this pvp to cause the attacker to gain corruption)
4- Lighting issues (sometimes blinded or pitch black most prominent fixes needed)

1. Make it easier to work the chat UI and send whispers and needs to be a way to click names instead of / command every time.
2. Give us a way to resize UI windows like the wear house UI window.
3. Make it were people cant just pull 5 mobs on top of you out of now where while you are farming and they are just running by on a mount.
4. make guild size bigger
5. when you are processing change it so you can do other amounts other than values of 5s (1,5,10,15...etc)

Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Caravans in general, but more specifically the flagging for defenders and attackers. Defender flags can get stuck on for days and attackers can kill them during this time without corruption.

2.Inventory bugs, I feel like everyone has touched on this, but with crafting being so important this game, you open your inventory so often it needs to feel clean

3.Maps: chests sometimes flashing, not completing the quest, excavation kits disappearing w/o being able to loot, and not being able to use maps if a restart occurs during a quest.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1.Exploiters need to go. Not only do they not give good data, they took your warnings as license to do whatever they wanted, which was to grief the rest of the population while we waited for GM response. Even now they are using their higher levels to push lower level characters out of areas much lower level so they can save drops in case their characters are deleted by trading them to clean characters. They have no intention of helping the alpha and every intention of going back to whatever they were doing at the earliest opportunity. They are simply put bad for the game as a whole.

2.While open world dungeons are a fun concept, with the level of participation in the alpha they are getting flooded at all times of the day. instead of actually experiencing any of the dungeons groups are just jammed into corners and fighting to pull mobs back to their groups. I don't mind a little grinding at all, just feel like this probably isn't what you guys had in mind regarding the dungeons.

3.While I understand parties are encouraged in the game, could we get something like an antidote/balm from alchemy to mitigate poison/burning damage for when there isn't a cleric available? It doesn't need to be on par with the spells, just something so that being diligent with consumables can allow your group to take on challenges without a full ensemble.

4:This is just a suggestion for something you may have already considered: allowing a high level player to temporarily reduce their level to play with a lower ally without the lower player losing exp. so just stat nerfs essentially.

5:Despite the above this game is looking AMAZING! Far exceeding my expectations coming in, I haven't been this hooked in years. looking forward to whatever you guys have planned down the road!

2. Storage Bugs loosing items stored in town storage , multiple legendary and rare ores , trees have disappeared from storage and this happens with many people

3. Draw Distance For pvp this is absolute must as you cant really see enemy team before you engage for pve you cant even see half of your raid because of very low draw distance if this can be address it would be huge for overall experience

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Heals hurting people and going corrupt over it.
2. Caravans and/or flagging attacker/defender for caravans never goes away
3. Node buffs doesn't apply on you sometimes and you need to relog on another SW within the node to have the buff apply

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. I know that the hunting system right now is a place holder, but please make it where you can activity spawn/hunt animals. The rarity of spawns is fine as long as you can actively encourage spawning them yourself.
2. Please have it where gathering tools can be unequipped and interchangeable. Sometimes I would prefer speed over rarity if I want to mass farm tree for example. Deleting old tools when making a new one is silly.
3. Please have the rarity of mounts effect it's speed. I have no idea why this isn't already a thing.

1. When on the caravan randomly teleported to carphin 3 times. It might be home? not sure what my home ember spring is. I changed to Miralyth to see, it hasn't triggered yet again.
2. Make a limit on how many people can attack a caravan. 3 or 10 or50 how can you defend? I don't mind pvp but if you cant defend what is the point?
3. Server meshing using caravans to raft and back it can lose your caravan, just gone. also entering some servers it crashes, one spot near lionhold has 2 servers 10 and 26 i think it was 11 pops in randomly if walking in a circle was testing it.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Make a limit on how many people can attack a caravan. I was attacked by a streamer Thor and we could have defended but due to him streaming and using that to gather 40 plus randoms on his alt and not in a guild we lost. 3 vs 40. He was on a level 7 account. No level 7 account could ever really do that in the game itself.
2. Server stability in Steel bloom has been bad since reset and update prior to Christmas. Server messing. Caraphin is really rough also for lag or server. I freeze twice in the same spot always going to the front door on the left side of the building.
3. Crashing out of the game in a fight to desktop, also inventory gotta relog or reset game to fix. mount is a workaround but need to use it every time if you dont reset your game.

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Caravans disappearing, I've personally seen several (mine included) geared out Caravans completely disappear, as well as the ability to assist a caravan without flagging as a defender.

2. Infinite Mitigation Tanks (nova ordem) exploit abusers

Crashes during large scale content, needs testing, happens frequently with 80+ people / 10+ Caravans for me

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. I'd like to see the combatant flag status refresh/reset upon taking or dealing damage, this would prevent people from unflagging mid fight/projectile travel time and corruption baiting.

2. I'd like to see a more active GM presence, typing in global etc, helping out the community with bugged Caravans, stuck players, etc.

3. make gathering, crafting, processing give more exp, by the time you're able to craft a level 10 weapon you could have already gotten one off of just killing things that would be better.

3. Caravans need to be reliable.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Exploiters need to be dealt with swiftly and severely.
2. Crafted items need to be more relevant to gameplay (both in terms of function as well as earlier in the progression of Artisanship.)
3. There needs to be more efforts to discourage "training mobs" on players in lieu of PvPing to avoid corruption result. Also corruption should be less severe in situations where natural PvP should be encouraged.

[mortal geyser]

Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs

1. Treasure Maps

2. Items transfer from inventory to storage - requires a relog to see the transfer reflected most times

3. Caravan Bugs - You should not have to drop party/raid to individually join a caravan event and then reform group. Allow picking attack/defend while in group. Caravans have also just disapeared out from under people.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics

1. Resource scarcity - Copper remains too difficult to farm. Treasure maps should not be used as bandaid fix for this. Willow trees are too scarce. Apprentice nodes should not respawn as journeyman nodes when no gatherers are journeyman capable. Getting high quality hides is damn near impossible. Ive also heard that certain nodes are fixed at a certain rarity, including legendary. This should never happen.

2. Flagging system - People can choose not to join a caravan event but still heal people within the event. This makes healers unkillable for defenders. People can unflag, starting the unflag timer, and then enter combat. At some point during the fight they will drop flagged status and die causing unfair corrupt status. Make doing anything at all related to pvp (take dmg, deal dmg, heal, buff etc) add 30 seconds to the unflag timer.

3. Lawless zones - More of them and bigger. Put juicy mega dungeons in lawless zones. Give us equal effort in designing lawless zones that safe zones receive.

4. Guild Bank - this is maybe the most important one, please give guild bank. Allow customizable ranks within guilds to have varying levels of access.

• 3. Treasure Maps
• 4. Glint/Loot-bug
• 5. Corruption Baiting (When flagging a player can engage in pvp and unflag during this pvp to cause the attacker to gain corruption)

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

• 1. Disabling aggro toward players who are not actively engaged in combat to prevent training (punish harsher penalties on users for unfair methods
• 2. Guilds are abusing pvp war. There should be a cooldown on war declaration use or much expensiv
• 3. Caravans are currently highly unattractive to operate. The high-risk/high-reward principle is only present on one side. Attackers face no risk compared to the high rewards they can gain. Meanwhile, defenders must invest Glint, silver, and significant time—none of which attackers are required to contribute, yet they still reap the full reward. Introducing scrolls, preparatory measures, or even cooldowns would make the system more balanced and encourage thoughtful decision-making about whether engaging in a caravan raid is truly worth it
• 4. Need more punishment for looting corpses or flagged PvP, going purple for a few seconds isn't enough. Du can deactivate PvP during the fight. That isn't acceptable for some reason
• 5. The current disparity between farmed gear and crafted gear is minimal. At present, players can essentially craft the same armor as farmed gear, just at a higher quality tier. While the crafting process itself is enjoyable, taking time and providing a sense of accomplishment, the range of unique items available through crafting pales in comparison to the variety of items obtainable through grinding. Crafting needs to be more rewarding. Steven initially stated that crafting would represent the ultimate endgame when it comes to obtaining the best gear. Was this always intended to apply solely to the highest quality tier of existing gear? If so, it feels deeply unsatisfying. Crafting should stand on its own with unique gear, exclusive set bonuses, and significantly higher stat evaluations—independent of quality tiers. To balance this, crafting could be made even more time-intensive and grind-heavy than it is now. Additionally, the drop rate for gear from farming seems excessively high and should be reduced accordingly

3. Player to Player Trading Resulting in Lost Items

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Player Exploiting. Players who extensively exploit break the game and the systems. This behavior wastes the time of the rest of the testers since more resets of the game will be needed, to test an accurate game environment.
2. Leveling crafting professions involving gear feels underwhelming since better items can be found in NPC farming areas. No one wants your green or grey crafted gear, which is the primary quality of the items you craft to level up.
3. Players should only be able to vote for a mayor once per account, per election. There are already many players who are leveling up numerous alts up to level 10, to be able to have multiple votes in the same election.

[carmine bloom]

Important Bugs:

1. Desync with inventory - must log out entirely of the game client to allow for looting (anything at all) or moving inventory around.

2. Some spells are interrupted when being hit. EX: Fighter - Whirlwind states "The caster is immune to hard disabling effects while spinning" - yet the channel is interrupted despite not hitting the button again and is just interrupted.

3. Some NPCs - GREM especially will hit FAR beyond their supposed hitbox. EX: FREEZE does NOT freeze Grem at all so they continue to hit beyond 20 meters. they should not especially due to their lack of size and big jaws.

FEEDBACK:

1. Steven should grant me a title "Brick Breaker" because i won a staring contest against him... thusly I effectively stared at a brick wall for an hour and half AND WON!

2. Better placement for early game resource nodes. Hunting / mining to be somewhat specific. Metal nodes like Zinc / Copper are exceptionally hard to find.

3. Separate chats for LFG / General / Trade - Audible DM / guild member login sounds.

4. No Zerg guilds method to crack down on mass zergging. It's definitely an issue. Sorry Actual Pirates 1 - 75+

• 3. Crafting system and its interconnectedness is very cool, but with drops as they are crafting seems weak to work on. That might be intended but it would be nice if heroic and up items had a more significant boost to give incentive for crafting beyond filling slots/pulling up low levels gear level.
• 4. Crafting/Processing has some very weird numbers on the recipes. Needs a hard balance pass, beyond just the output. Example, rings/necklaces etc being as much/more metal than armor pieces.

[tired shuttle]

Number 2 most important bugs are gathering bugs - bugged spawns, and hunting rarity. hunting bags don't increase the amount of carcasses you can store. 3: the Party bug where sometimes you just stop getting loot. The ui/party bugs in general 4: inventory and storage bugs, including not being able to loot sometimes after moving or throwing things out. Maps being bugged. 5: Mob pathing and aggro bugs. Not resetting, going into walls/floor, aggroing onto unrelated people. Most important feedback issues: 1: Crafting: Crafts need a repeat button or number slider for bulk crafting. Adventuring xp gained should be somewhat higher. Remove randomness of hunting and animal husbandry. I I should be able to choose live capture/train mount, or kill/train a BoB. Maybe add a skill to kill Live tamable. Not getting increased crafting xp processing or crafting with higher rarity materials seems weird.

[somber lagoon]

Alpha 2 Phase 2 -- Most Important Bugs:

1. Treasure maps are extremely broken.
2. Mobs aggro tables and other groups training them on others.
3. Loot bugs (not being able to pick up items, having to relog to fix it constantly). Also, rolling on items in groups not just automatically going into your inventory. It should.
4. Inventory issues (right clicking on an item won't always auto transfer to/from storage, sometimes it desyncs and even if I drag the item to storage it won't show it moved, so I have to relog to fix it).

Alpha 2 Phase 2 -- Feedback:

1. Fix copper and T1 resource generation. It feels painfully uncommon to find copper right now. Perhaps T2 resources are also an issue, but for a starting area copper feels like it should be much more common than it is.
2. I've had several random freezing in game and the game completely closing. It's acceptable since it's alpha 2 but it really needs to get fixed. In groups it's annoying when 1-2 people get DCed/crash, which ultimately affects the whole group.
3. I think it's been addressed by Stephen at some point recently, but please make an easier way of transferring items/loot to alts. If I have to pay for a centralized shared bank, that's fine. But having a way of doing it without relying on other players is essential for the game being more alt-friendly.
4. Please make it so I can see all the buffs that are present on me. When node buffs are active sometimes it's impossible to see all of the buffs currently on myself. I'm not able to see what is actually applied (XP multipliers, group buffs, etc)
5. Marketplace really needs some advanced filtering with categorization of items so it's easier to find specifically what you are looking for. A text based search is not sufficient. Sorting by item and price would be helpful.

Treasure Maps, currently treasure maps are bugged in a away that when collecting if you don't rapidly collect them you can not collect loot, You also have to delete the quest after you pick up treasure and after x amount of deletions your character is unable to open another map for a quest.

Caravans (teleport to Carphin leaving caravan exposed to be attacked without defense, unrecoverable caravans when placed on SW borders, the caravan driver buff to reduce incoming damage is not being applied to auto-attacks, only abilities)

Scarce resource nodes spawning underground and in rocks making already scarce resources, non-harvestable.
Inventory and loot bugs where items cannot be looted from mobs or harvests or when interacting with storage, inventory items don't display properly.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:
Griefing. Training mobs or level 20+ attacking level 10 caravans runners seems too unbalanced. While this may be fine for release, PVP and grieving needs heavy penalties so that more things can be tested. It makes it difficult to test the systems in place as they cannot be explored because of the amount of grieving.

Crafting and the materials needed to level crafting should be revisited. The interdependency between crafting professions seems okay, but the choice for materials on how each skill is leveled seems random and inconsistent.

Leveling pace from adventuring vs crafting/processing/gathering should be more balanced. Right now, adventures rush to max level while dedicated artisans crawl along.

1. Rubber banding - running around and char get stuck and pulled back in the spot until i stop and stand still for 2 seconds and then I can move again. It has caused many deaths and is very much not fun

Started caravan
Server restarted
Logged in and used the recall caravan button to get caravan back
Completed the caravan (from Halcyon to New Aela)
Started a new caravan (from New Aela to Halcyon)
Noticed the recall caravan button was still top right but ignored it (My guess is the fix is to always log out if you still see the recall caravan button after you complete a caravan journey.)
When arriving back at Halcyon the countdown happened to complete it and caravan disappeared as normal
Check the Caravan master... My caravan is gone and all the cargo and all the upgrades I added. Its all gone. My first caravan and my wifes with 10G+ worth of upgrades... I did try to log out and back in but nothing changed. Still nothing at caravan master
3. Monster AI enabling mob trains. (Monsters attacking me after someone else pull them past and they start running back to the starting location they came from. They will attack anything on the way to the location they on on the way to without being agro)
4. Treasure maps bug
5. Grems attacking from outside Melee range.
6. Small one - Cleric - Chains of restraint does not show a circular indicator where you are casting the spell

7. Taxes are very high for late joiners to nodes. This makes the insentive really bad to join any town if you are a new player and you dont know what you are going to be paying. Maybe add something to let you know that you are going to pay X because you number X of the node or change how they work somehow so players dont join a node and have to leave it because they have to grind a long time to be able to pay taxed or leave the node and get a cooldown.
8. Another small one. Would be great to have a LFG chat tab for anyone looking for a group
9. Commodity Vendor showing anything you try to sell for 0. It happens sometimes when you talk to him then anything you try to sell will just show as 0. Logging out and back in does resolve this but its been around since the start of Alpha 2 so thought I would mention it.

[idle ginkgo]

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:
Gatherable resources being stuck inside other terrain, especially rare ones (feels really bad)
Being able to stun noncombatants off of resources (feels even worse)
Inventory Bug (which is currently 'fixed' by mounting and dismounting
Being corrupted not going away over time or killing mobs

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Rarity and how all stats apply to everything else should be public for everyone to know. Hearing 10 different theories is not fun especially when the current theory is some stats barely do anything at all, ppl who bleieve that lose all motivation for the 'reward' of better artisan gear
2. Having to fill my inventory with clothing of all my artisan skills and change them is not fun at all. There is only a bad feeling of forgetting to put them on, and never a good feeling of having them.
3. Mob training onto other ppl
4. Mobs going directly for mounts is annoying and doesn't make sense as a player in terms of threat

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Rubber banding
2. Inventory not adjusting and desyncing while trying to bank, loot, gather etc.
3. Treasure map bug -- opening a treasure map and not getting the quest and then being locked out

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. static drops for gathering, i.e. raptors allows the spawns to be camped 24/7. Can we randomize where the spawns happen in larger areas to make it harder for larger guilds to camp.
2. Mounts need differentiating stats. Its too easy for one to be the meta and none of the water mounts are actually fast in water. It would be nice if they utilized different accelerations for sprints, static speeds, climbing, jumping, etc
3. I love the realism of mobs chasing and their aggro. Would love to see wandering mobs/warbands added.
4. Can you please make the markets more search friendly?
5. COst vs. Reward needs to be adjusted... I.e. Hunting a croc in a PVP zone should be worth signifigantly more than something in a safe zone. The same goes for training... why does am apprentice mount only give a little more xp than a novice but costs 4x to make?

[last kestrel]

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Looting/inventory bugs. A lot of other bugs are ignorable, but the looting/inventory ones are quite consistent and feel like they break the flow. I've also probably heard that complaint the most from players.
2. The treasure map bugs. It's a whole branch of content, debatably a whole style of playing the game solo, that seems completely unusable right now. Would love to see it in action!
3. The friends list
4. login issues. Takes a very long time to get into the game from Character select to loading screen and will crash most of the time when attempting to log in

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. More content. I know that's a bit of an annoying feedback note but...  This doesn't even have to be full dungeons or questlines. More Points of Interest in the Tropics/Desert node, some places with interesting loot/interactable objects that start a quest rather than be a part of it? Test out different created assets even, they don't have to be permanent, but helps get players busy doing other things out in the world. Maybe even put 1 unique new enemy type to test out in one spot. Basically stuff to do that's reward from exploration rather than crafting/pvp/pve grinds. Something to take players away from the grind
2. Adding some skills to the mage, and cleric. I play mage, and love it. I feel like by lvl 25 the builds not that unique compared to another lvl 25. I know that lvl 50 will be the cap and it will change things, and perhaps you plan to add more skills to all, but the more skills and variety is really awesome for customization and individuality. I do recognize that makes balancing harder with every skill added, so maybe just adding a little bit? It also keeps it engaging to return to that class and try out different builds through testing.
3. Getting the nodes to level 4.

3. We need rewards for defenders of caravans so there is no incentive for others to want to help protect those caravans against attackers.

Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Hunting Rarity - basically unable to use anything relating to carcasses (bones, animal fat, hide) because the rarity does not work for the hunting placeholder system
   2. Resources in and under the world unable to gather them and the rairty of certain resources like copper and certain other resources with the size of the zones and availability with everyone shoved onto small servers with too few gathering zones is too punishing. Getting to be not worth testing anymore.
2. Indefinetely active Caravan events (so you get killed 6-10hours after attacking the caravan because the owner of the caravan crashed/alt f4'd and didnt pick up his request beacon)Other caravan bugs constantly disappearing and just not working at again after or having to wait for server restarts for them to work again. 4. Mob training I avoid all dungeons and popular places to get dropped loot because I do not want to participate in the hell that has been created with mob training in everyone one of them. I go out of my way to find the most obscure places to level to be away from the general population and have at least made it to 20. 5. Most quests just not working and or not worth the time to do at all.

Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:
-Mob AI: Training needs to be addressed. It's too easy for someone to sabotage you. Mobs will not reset correctly and bug out.
-Inventory bug: Sometimes my inventory will break and then I can no longer drag items and can not pickup glint from bodies. It seems exiting game/closing launcher has worked to fix this for me so far.
-Friends Caravan is broken and cannot be deployed. They used a Caravan Retrieval Beacon, then cancelled out of it without launching the caravan. There caravan is now stuck in 'Deploying' from the Beacon menu, and they cannot launch it from the Caravan Manager, as it says it is not stabled.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:
-Chat functionality: Right click on a name in chat to get option like invite or whisper. It's a pain to reply to a whisper so anything else to make it easier. Add /roll. Add a timestamp option. When you press forward slash (/), it should automatically open up the text chat and start with a forward slash. Add ability to link items. And other stuff I am sure I am forgetting.
-Marketplace searching improvements. Better search functionality and filters.
-LFG channel or tool.
-Quest xp/rewards needs to be reviewed. Grinding being the only viable option to level is not fun.
-[Low Priority] Pressing escape should remove open windows before stopping a cast that's in progress.
-[Low Priority] Tab targeting needs work. It will often target mobs that I am not looking at or further behind the target I'm looking at.
-[Low Priority] Rez should spawn the person at the rezzer. So they don't rez on top of a mob.

[tired shuttle]

most important feedback continued 2: Mob aggro- It's not anywhere near sticky enough. it's easy to train/grief others. Casters that lose sight of people in different parties than yours often just stop and start casting at you. They also sometimes seem to aggro through walls. Mobs teleporting when they lose sight of you. If they lose sight they should need to run, if they cant find then reset. 3: Loot drop in PvE. I feel if someone wants to loot your corpse they should have done at least some of the damage (or healed someone that did etc) to kill you. People training mobs onto other parties and then loot them with no flag (until after and everyone is dead or there aren't enough left to retaliate), with no penalty feels horrible. The xp debt is ok and could even be a little more harsh if the penalties really need to exist. I am against harsh death penalties though. They make it hard to sell the game to my friends. negative progress turns many off. Especially when many or even majority of deaths are no fault of ones own. PvP should be loot drop no debt, PvE no loot drop but xp debt IMHO. 4:Less xp=more loot. It's far more lucrative to kill mobs that are much lower than you and pose little to no threat. Not just because you kill more but the drop rates are noticeably higher. Seems to go against the risk vs reward touted as one of the games corner stones.

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Mobs disappearing and reappearing in the middle of combat while also still doing damage (seems similar to what Steven mentioned regarding replication issues with Firebrand).
2. Assets not loading and/or visible to players such as mobs, players, NPCs, mounts, node corks, shields, players' character model etc
3. Social party issues: Group loot and group UI stops functioning (usually fixed by disbanding then rejoining the party).
4. Personal inventory and warehouse inventory sometimes doesn't allow for moving items around and sometimes makes duplicates of the items (visually - not tangible). Sometimes can't interact with loot to add to bag.
5. Some named mob commission quests are broken. Killing the mob does not complete the quest.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Looking at the road map and trying to read through the update notes and the wiki, it's hard to tell what state the systems are in. It would be helpful to get more frequent updates (via email or dev updates) on how things are changing in the road map as systems get pushed back or implemented.
2. It would be nice to have a compass HUD with indicators with quests, party members, and way points (persistent) along with the other major indicators.
3. It feels like certain mobs are respawning too frequently.
4. Marketplace feels unusable as users have to scroll through many pages of shops. Would like to be able to search for items.
5. It would be nice if the quests gave more detailed instructions on where to go.

We appreciate all the hard work and we're enjoying the open development process,
@tropic token & @wise abyss

[blissful wigeon]

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Mob training

2. Inconsistent Server Ticks with Abilities e.g., Fighter Whirlwind sometimes hits 6 times (with full momentum) and sometimes you lag and it hits 14 times (this was the highest i recorded)

3. Mobs not moving but hiting me from an actual eternity away (looking at you grems)

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Resource dearth stunting progression of crafters without coordinated people camping / pvping for the few nodes that do exist (namely copper / willow wood)

IMO this should be handled by a weighted curve, e.g. tier 1 resources should have priority in starting zones vs tier 2 (t3+ probably shouldn't spawn in starting zones) and the weights in a zone should vary, while maintaining a weight within their own category of resource - e.g., in a starting zone say 70% tier 1 and 30% tier 2 resources (with small variances based on an RNG system) should be up at a given time, but within the tier 1 resources another weight should be added to try to strive for resource balance (an example being we should strive to aim for 30% copper, 20% zinc, 20% granite, 20% basalt within the t1 category). Weights are all hypothetical, but ideally this fixes the "i've never seen copper before," problem.

2. Dungeons are great. I would love to feel like I can progress through them and there's a point to it instead of camping 2-3 spawns. Both ideas are fine imo, but it would be cool if more dungeons were like the Forge where spawns were slow enough that progressing through it felt like the optimal way to do the dungeon, while still somehow short enough in some spots that posting up a camp on a spawn or 4 is still okay.

3. This is nitpicky, but it's MY list so I will say that I absolutely abhor the fact that several of the towns look exactly the same. This probably is set to be fixed later, but I would really like to see polish and what nodes are there. Most of the game is already very pretty, why not home?

2. Enemies randomly agro'ing nearby enemies
3. Parties needing to be reformed by relogging - tied to xp distribution issue

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Crafting is an ultra end game thing currently. Early game crafting needs to be improved starting with more availability of mats. Make apprentice buildings default in lvl 3 nodes so when you can acquire citizenship you can progress your crafts (both level 10)
2. Areas are too congested, too many players for the current game world size
3. Attacking caravans needs more risk, currently it's far too profitable to raid a caravan vs running one. Consider making goods "stolen" selling for far less if you raid a caravan (but more than crowbar).

Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 5 Most Important Bugs:

• 1. Healing can deal damage, unintentionally killing player characters you're trying to save, and causing the healer to become corrupted and killed, resulting in loss of equipment and XP.
• 2. Caravans including their cargo disappearing.
• 3. Players pulling mobs that then switch aggro to the nearest target once the original player who pulled them is out of range.
• 4. Occasionally unable to pick up loot like glint, especially when part of a party or raid. Returning to Character Selection may temporarily fix it for a few minutes, but sometimes it doesn’t help.
• 5. Occasional rubberbanding especially on Mounts, especially in high-traffic areas near villages such as Miraleth on Lotharia EU.

Top 5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

• 1. There are a lot of players exploiting the system to get unfair advantages in PvP or farm mobs more efficiently. They’ll run mobs into lower-level players at contested POIs, flag for PvP, crowd control the victims to keep them from escaping, and let the mobs they leashed do the killing. This bypasses the corruption system since they’re not directly killing anyone themselves. These players expect to be reset to level 1 instead of getting banned, and then they plan to be powerleveled back to 25 by their accomplices, who are sometimes the same players they boosted with their exploited power. They keep all the benefits with no real consequences, while lower-level players suffer and can’t fight back effectively. - As someone who really wants to see this project succeed and contribute to making it better, it’s frustrating to see these kinds of exploits mess with the testing environment. I’m here to help, but things like this make it hard for this process to be anything but frustrating.
• 2. Since Caravans are rather important to the ecconomy and to properly finance some artisan jobs, them not working properly at the moment doesn't feel good.
• 3. I've noticed many resource nodes, especially mineable ones, are placed inside rocks and walls, making them unlikely to be discovered or mined by players who phase through those objects.
• 4. The XP gained from Animal Husbandry seems low compared to the high currency investment required, especially when other professions can make significant progress with less investment and easily turn a profit.
• 5. I experienced that it is considerably more difficult to obtain light armor than medium or heavy armor at lower levels.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Harvest items needed to craft ,such as mining, lumberjack, herbalist ... etc, make them move places preventing them being camped and timed.
2. besides the holds for those desiring a personal place can a guild have there own.
3. the mobs being trained on players and a more harsh punishment for griefing.

[bronze adder]

1. Griefing with corruption. Too many people are training mobs on others and there is nothing those people can do about it because if they actually stop the griefers by killing them then they get corruption and all of the negative side effects that go with it.
2. Caravans bugging out. I'd love to participate in caravans but don't have any interest in doing wo while they are constantly disappearing.
3. Rendering distance - cannot see enemies, live or npc - often until it is too later.

Issues to address - scarcity of gathering resources. Some resources should be more scarce, but things like willows sharing respawn timers with braidwood, when nobody can harvest braidwood, is a big oversight. This is compounded when the resources do spawn but bug out and cannot be gathered.

Also, the crafting system is too confusing. It shouldn't take a PhD to get started.

2. Equal opportunities within safe zones and lawless zones allowing for more pvp engagement. (Ex: POI's within lawless zones that "mirror" safe zones for difficulty/rewards, areas with abundant resources for more risk/reward (ex: An abundant copper mine filled with high tier mobs, full pvp, depth deepens as node level increases providing higher tier resources/new mobs to keep relevancy))

Just basic things like / opening the chat box and putting the / there when I need to change channels. /r or other letter to reply to whispers and maybe being able to link items to chat.

5. Quest items don't go to their own proper tabs. Quest items do not delete after the quest is complete.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Glint is not a player-to-player tradeable currency, and it IS a currency. It deserves it's own tab at minimum or to be treated as a currency that is accounted in the way that gold/silver/copper is accounted.
2. There is a harsh tax on leveling Animal Husbandry and Metalworking compared to all other processing trades. Is this intentionally imbalanced?
3. We need Towns, we need Towns, we need Towns, we need Towns.
4. Adjustments to design for PvP interactions are needed. Players dancing in and out of PvP (lawless) zones, forced-flag necessary to flag inside a PvP zone, healers not flagged while supporting PvP events, abuse of fishing/hunting events to permit PvP for griefing others.

**Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:**
1. Caravans in their entirety. - Large caravan groups seem to cause more disconnects. While the recovery process has gotten better, it's still not where it needs to be. Driver losing damage protection making them sitting ducks trying to move the caravan in any capacity while being attacked. Enemies flagging as protectors so they can loot your corpses without repercussions. Healers not flagging as attackers, but being able to heal without penalty (If you tried to kill them for aiding your enemy, you'd go red since they haven't attacked back)

**2. **Inventory Bugs - Not being able to click to transfer items to storage. Dragging and dropping items into bank, but they either disappear or don't appear to transfer and require relog to have the items show up in their appropriate location.

**3. **Resources/mobs spawning below ground. The trees around New Aela while still harvestable somehow are spawning 75% below ground. Some resource nodes are spawning up through rocks making them unable to be harvested.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:
1. Some of the mob attacks still need some fine tuning. The most noteable one I think is the Grem who can bite at what feels like an infinite range. I feel like this was done to get around the exploit of people using circular kiting to never get hit, but It's gotta be dialed back a bit.

**2. **The big POIs and open world dungeons are amazing. Church of Stars, Ruins of Sephilion, Steelbloom, Tower of Carphin, and Befallen Forge all have felt super cool through my leveling experience. Befallen Forge takes me back to Blackrock Depths from World of Warcraft, but the updated graphics give me shivers looking forward to the potential of this game and it's dungeons. I can't wait to see more of what you have planned.

**3. **The grinding has been fun whether it's solo or group, but absolutely gets repetitive. I would really like to see quests play a larger role in experience gains. I know a lot of the quests are still bugged with mobs not spawning, but I think we really need a way to break up the monotony of picking a spot and killing the same mobs thousands of times to level.

**4.**With the further expansion of the desert area, I'd love to see the waterway just south of the starting area opened up a bit more so that we could have caravans travelling over water and potentially have water battles to test

5. Don't let the haters get to you. Keep true to your visions. I haven't followed the project from the very beginning, but I can see it's potential. There is a lot of good about this game. The look, the feel, the sounds. I put a fully charged Lighting strike Shatter up there with hitting the sweet spot on a wooden bat or the snap of a net on a perfect swish. Keep true to your word and be swift and harsh with blatant exploiters. Every time they openly get away with something repeatedly without punishment is going to tarnish your reputation.

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1 Copper spawns.

2 Pathing issues while mounted. Sometimes mounts get “stuck” on the smallest variances in terrain, a good example is the middle of the road near the Halcyon-Winstead transition.

3 Taxing Tax receipts. Buying them individually they are as priced, but once you buy them in bulk, the price goes up 22% (at least in Halcyon on Lyneth). If this isn’t a bug then see it in the feedback section.

4 Spawn bugs. A couple of times mobs have spawned right on top of me out of nowhere, and in one instance even though I managed to run a quite a distance before dying, the mob got stuck on my ashes as if it were camping them. I know it’s an Alpha and I know it’ll be fixed but its a big one.

5 Graphics settings are inconsistent and sometimes change on their own. Optimize shadows is a good example of this. I have to enable it every time I log in. Sometimes I can set my max frameratre, sometimes I can’t. It’s a peace of mind issue to some, knowing that they can check one thing off a list of “Is this me or is this a bug?”

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1 Sapphire are Rubies. Can we mine them with the same level/equipment please? They are essentially the same stone (its trace elements that cause the color, but they’re both Corundum!) Whether Rubies are made harder to mine or Sapphire is made easier to mine doesn’t matter, I’d just really love to see them at the same mining skill/level (I 100% understand that this probably only bothers me, and as such isn’t important haha)

2 Ashes. I see so many people joining groups, just so they can watch a party die, or worse train mobs into people/groups so they can steal from their ashes and then mount off into the sunset with little to no apparent consequences. There are even people camping out by spots they know deaths happen due to the area just so they can steal ashes. I feel like Corruption should also apply to these scenarios in the same way PvP kills of non engaged characters does. Also Ashes despawn time. I feel like in a lot of cases there is just no time to get back to your ashes (if they haven't been robbed) to try and collect things. In many instances there absolutely is, but sometimes strange issues arise with Ember springs and you end up a lot farther away than you should.

3 Why do we pay taxes on tax receipts? Buying them in bulk (which we essentially have to do, because of how many are needed) I pay an EXTRA 22% in glint. For example 160 tax receipts (8 stacks of 20) at 3 dull glint each is 480 glint if you buy them individually. The actual price paid is 586 dull glint. (5 glowing 8 dim 6 dull). That’s 106 glint added on top, or 22%. That 22% is the cost of 35 tax receipts. Luckily we can’t buy more than 160 in one transaction because it actually incrementally creeps up from 22% the more you would buy. If this is a bug, then see the bug section.

4 Water. The water is so damned pretty in this game right now (except when mounts enter haha) and I want to make sure you know it’s appreciated. Seriously, it’s amazing. LOVE THE WATER, the way it moves, the way it carries you along, the way there are variations in flow visible from the surface... WONDERFUL WATER.

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Caravan PvP: Specifically there are multiple ways for people to be invulnerable to attacks. Healers can just not choose Attack or Defend and can heal the Defenders without getting flagged. Likewise, if there are multiple caravans, they can choose Attack on one and Defend on the other and the Defenders can not attack them. Both of these scenarios are being abused.
2. Unharvestable items: There are so many gathering items that are just unharvestable. Many of them rare resources like Willow.
3. Inventory Issues: Many issues related to inventory such as inability to pick up items or glint. Inability to transfer items in or out of storage.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:
1.Flagging needs a longer timer. You should also not be able to unflag while in combat. The current time is way too short that leads to corruption bating. The instigator of a fight can often unflag in time to make someone go corrupt and often intentionally
2. Leatherworking is nearly pointless. There is no way to equip a guild full of people with medium armor. Gathered resources are both harder to get than other trades, but also quality is lower due to hunter quality problems. Resources are tight for all the trade skills, but 5 raptors is not enough to outfit the entire server in Raptor Hides.
3. Hunting is still the lowest rarity of any gathering skill by a HUGE amount. Not only are resources more scarce, but they also are of much lower quality than every other gathering skill. Rare+ items drop like candy for other skills comparatively speaking.

[sinful ocean]

Important Bugs:

1. Inventory Bug: Players cant loot while the bug exists without rearranging their bags with multiple log outs in between.

2. PVP Flagged Bug: Some players appear to be flagged for PVP and once killed, result in corruption.

3. Missed Game Ticks: When lag occurs it disrupts the tick rate; allowing attacks/heals to be nullified.

4. Explots: Tank mitigation, Bard saga & dance exploit. There are more which I am less familiar with.

5. Caravans: People losing their caravans by a glitch which are unable to be recovered.

FEEDBACK:

1. Mob training should not be as easy as it is. I believe the aggro system needs a rework around this.

2. The crafting system does not feel impactful due to time constraints on gaining the necessary node buildings and also the time it takes to level processing/crafting. Crafting feels left in the dust compared to our own player levels and gear which we can acquire via drops. With only having 25 levels currently, I foresee this becoming an even bigger issue once higher levels can be acquired at this given pace.

3. If someone loots a player body their PVP flag is on a set timer. Damage or being in combat does not extend this timer, and there is no indication the time left on the flag. Many players have gotten corruption due to this drop-off happening just as they are getting the kill. Additionally, if a player has a debuff from the zombies which cause healing to do damage, and another player not in their party heals and kills them, the healer gets corruption. This happened to me and it was beyond a bad feeling since the intentions were still good. If the debuffed player is a low level and their is an aoe heal which goes out unintentionally that is three deaths of corruption unjustly.

4. The auction house should have timeouts on items, and the listing fee should be returned if an item times out.

5. Implement a trade craft feature for more incentive for gatherers use their own mats and not be scammed.

4. Enemies animation is terrible, janking and running in one place in the air, especially golems
5. Looting does not work, cannot pick up stuff

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Spawn rates are WAY too fast. This greatly reduces the enjoyability of playing in an area. What happens is that you just keep killing the same guy over and over and that is very boring. There is no feeling of progress through the area or achievement of clearing an area. Add more enemies to the world instead of making the spawn rates faster.
2. Enemies spawn on you. They should spawn in a deeper location and move to their position. Enemies should never spawn right on top of you, especially if you are busy fighting.
3. Cannot harvest some resources because enemies will spawn on you.

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. inventory bugs: looting out in the world (bodies and gatherables), and town storage, both can be temporarily fixed by relogging. but relogging removes any scroll buffs, and the bugs often return shortly anyway.

2. Gatherables in rocks or too low in the ground, making them ungatherable

3. Caravan issues. getting bugged. being healed by someone that is not attackable. transfer between water/land bugs.

4. mobs spawn in ground and/or are green to us but still attack

5. Red barrier can be crossed if you are in a caravan

[rapid goblet]

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Spawn rates of nodes being completely unreasonable, as players find niche spots and abuse them for high end resources and the majority of players are stuck without the ability to compete without that specific knowledge even if they grind harder.
2. Caravans breaking pretty frequently, although we find ways around most of the issues they still take considerable time to circumvent.
3. Players exploiting caravan events to corrupt each other or gain an advantage during the initial flagging, as well as dropping event to crowbar loot without repercussions.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. The overall crafting of the game is terrific in theory, but terrible in practice. Inventory is extremely tedious, items/inventory bugs out and forces relogs. Resources are incredibly hard to obtain for things such as raptor hide, weeping willow, etc.
2. The content that we have so far is practically the same as phase 1, which I hope changes soon. (Ofc with the addition of befallen forge and a strongly underdeveloped desert not being considered in this)
3. More systems like treasure maps for alternatives to gaining resources (I'm hoping freeholds provide this but with such large groups buying them in bulk it just leaves the smaller guys behind evenmoreso)

NOBODY can get Medium (level 10) armor made.. meanwhile.. light and heavy armor is FLOODING the markets in every city.

2. Caravan commodity loosing gold values
3. People falling through the world at start. When the server starts it's silly that people fall through the world. Just put them in a box or on a platform and move them once the world is loaded properly or something. It may seem less critical but it's giving a peak behind the curtains and letting people see the undercarriage.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Bards still cant use the saga feature. Most will ignore it because of the consumption, but because of the broken animation on the Dragon, if your auto attacking or have most of the quality of life features on OR ARE PLAYING A SONG, it will just interrupt. If a Mage couldn't jetstream fire because auto attacking canceled prismatic beam it would feel just as bad.
2. Item permanence/refund in crafting not only makes sense it also would open up new branches. You shouldn't spend a chicken to make an egg. Equally so if there were anvils/crafting mallets/cookware or whatever the derivative stats could be a new interesting dimension to the game. It will also make way more sense and stop people from getting frustrated over cooking prices.
3. I'd really like to be able to add items to crafting windows that I may not have yet so that I can prospect items without gathering 10 of every items. I'd rather not be forces to use out of game services (such as ashes codex) to prospect item creation when I can keep it in game. If I'm making the decision of do I use the 10 heroics I have or go aquire epics or legendaries, I'd like to make that choice without having to alt tab and search around on someone elses website.

[orchid marsh]

Bugs:

1. Inconsistent gatherable rarity behavior. Hunts, trees, and fish are almost never above rare, but mining and herbalism nodes frequently are.

2. Inventory bug.

3. Tank mitigation bug.

4. Training mobs griefing.

5. The bizarre node buff problems. Buffs stack and don’t behave like they should (including negatives), scrolls and food have problems on logout, etc.

Feedback:

1. You need to ban exploiters. The hammer needs to be brought down. It doesn’t matter that it’s a test. Clearly, prior consequences were too soft. Exploiting and anti-social behavior in a PvX game will kill the game on launch. There is not another reasonable choice. Fair players are very tired and frustrated of attempting to test and getting constantly hit by griefing mob trains, PvP’ed by players who exploited to 25 promptly and farmed gear via exploiting, etc. Those players DETRACT value from the test and will continue to detract from the game at launch. This is about the people behind the keyboards.

2. Tweak caravan attacking to disincentivize the no-risk high-reward gameplay of attacking a caravan. Running a caravan is high-risk high-reward. Please find a way to make attacking a caravan feature some amount of risk for the attacker. It’s weird and results in unfun situations.

3. Quality and rarity rating on gear needs to be revised promptly.

4. Enchanting is going to need a bandaid fix once people figure out how powerful it currently is with base stats. Level 20 gear is substantially worse than a mix of level 0 and 10 gear with base stats that is enchanted. I think not enough people have caught on to this yet.

5. Please just replace the marketplace with a node-specific auction house searchable by item names and so on. There’s no need to be different just to be different.

1. Storage/Looting Issues, your Inventory is not updating, unless you jump on a Mount and back or you cannot loot bright glint anymore. Its not an Issue of if but when that Bug appears.
2. Mob Trains in dungeons. We have several Players/Guilds on the Server that abuse that to kill off Groups and loot their corpses.
3. Sometimes the gathering Process takes an extra second to complete. Minor, but annoying.

Top 3 Feedback:

1. Ressource Scarcity, especially Weeping Willow, to a lesser Degree Tin and Raptors. Weeping Willow is used in practically every Apprentice Recipe and the odds of finding a non-bugged Willowtree are very low(known Spawn points are frequented every couple Minutes by the more hardcore guilds). Maybe fix the Freehold Oak Issue to alleviate that?
2. We had a highly organized hardcore pvp guild push to 25 fast and now attack any Caravans not from the biggest Guilds. The odds of getting a Caravan through even with an own Guildgroup in Support is practically 0 (They got more/better geared players on average). Paying Protection money for each Trip is possible but destroys any profit. Leading to a lot less Caravans Overall (less testing too). Sounds like whining, i know😅 but not everyone plays hardcore.
3. Releasing P2 and immediately going on Holiday(fully deserved, not disputing that) actually killed a lot of game enjoyment, as quite a few more Bugs were discovered and not adressed. A delayed Release might have been better. Again i saw some people at Intrepid working over the holidays, but the Adressing of Bugs slowed markedly.

• 2. Lack of incentive to be the good guy/defender of caravans etc. There is a lot to gain for attacking a caravan, but unless you are the caravan owner/guild aligned there isn't much incentive to defend caravans. Much better to join in on ganking than trying to help. No exp, no money, no node currency etc. The game heavily favors offensive pvp activity by the lack of reward for being on the defending side.
• 3. Expected server size of 10k seems incredibly inadequate for the size of map and the interest.

You dont have to tune it yet, just keep it all flat how it is now, but when there are wild shifts in server population, you want this in place beforehand.

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Stat Calculations - Whatever the math is for calculating stats sometimes goes errant. Somethings to note is the mitigation on caravans will cause you to go negative in mitigation. We managed to force a guy into -800% mitigation thus one shotting him with DoT's. Other things such as bards damage multipliers going negative when dying (specifically in caravan PvP)
2. AI Graphics / Pathing - AI tends to bug out on terrain or inside walls or places where they shouldnt be.
3. Caravans (boats) - Boats hit box tends to dysnc from the actual model itself. This either makes it horrifically stuttery to stand on or causes range attacks to never "Hit" because the hit box itself is somewhere in the void.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Resource locations - Ores feel like that can and will spawn anywhere. Having actual spawn location that make sense in some degree would be helpfull. IE copper/granite/gems spawning in higher up mountains or in the hills instead of seemingly random spawns in fields. Tree's like willow or western larch spawning in "groves" that more or less should be protected or fought over to prevent over gathering ect.
2. Zombies Anti-heal - While admittedly a difficulty mechanic that could be fun to play around, is currently too strong. With how much clerics heal, they are a button/crit press away from just killing the tank out right if they are not paying super attention to every debuff each party member has.
3. Buffs 'tab' - While amusing to see 46+ buff on my character due to node buffs, this can get extremely annoying. I personally like to see every buff a character has just for information and being limited to 12(?) is quite annoying.

5. Some mobs get bugged and never respawn or reset - especially often in Tower of Carphin

Most important feedback:

1. The game sometimes closes randomly, causing testers to crash in sometimes very bad situations.
2. A lot of griefers are there on Lotharia EU. Have more GMs checking on them and punish them finally please for harassing low level players or mass pulling into other groups in order to loot corpses. The first week during holidays was a nightmare.
3. Freeholds feel off. Not only are they way too limited (imagine they could be used) but why don't you make them an instance so players could buy them still for better testing of mechanics and less fight over who is fastest with finishing Caravans?
4. Party UI is very clunky but basic option in general. Can you please allow us Clerics to manually have always raid UI? It would be such a blessing as you can click and see HP bars so much better.
5. Materials are grinded as often that at the very end they are locked in non-gatherable T3 gatherables or bad T1 materials. The fact that materials share a single spawn and are randomly selected is very bad in that small world that is too small for so many players as you barely get any resources at Prime Time.

2. Healing someone who is attacking a caravan should automatically flag them as attacker (and defender vice-versa). There was a lot of exploiting of that issue where clerics and bards would not flag but still heal/support people attacking/defending.
3. It feels like the only way to make real money right now is caravans, however it is super risky to go with caravan alone. And hiring guards is not really cost effective as at that point selling glint to vendor would net You similar outcome. I like that the caravans can be attacked but for now its way easier and risk free to just attack/ambush caravans. Also killing a driver is way too easy.

1. CCing noncombatants (I am as shocked as you are that I am saying this) though it could make training even more annoying
2. Mob Training (not necessarily a bug but it is a system that needs fixed to deter it)
3. Mass trading items erasing enchantments.
4. Not being able to access vendors when the server number of players using it is high
5. Berserk not working right and just being bad in general

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Condensed overpopulation feels like garbage and doesnt allow for accurate feedback regarding gathering and player conflict. Its great for stressing servers but thatd would be better to have a single server where everyone log ins iwth full gear to PvP for a day
   2.Encouraging player conflict is one thing, making it where only the largest guilds or fastest players get to a resource, grind spot, or mob and then have a massive advantage to continue to keep that thing on farm indefinitely because of that does not feel great. There should always be another option to catch up (even if it is far more inefficient) so there can be real competition and not just a slaughter because one side has massive numbers or farmed a spot first. And rare resource spawns should spawn randomly throughout the world, not in 1 area to be put on farm.
2. Your gear scaling sucks. Level 10s and 20s with legendary gear (mainly weapons) just results in a massive power imbalance between similar level players, and even at max level with max quality gear it just becomes a quickdraw competition where whoever hits faster wins. There should be nothing legendary about being low level, it feels stupid.
3. Make party/raid member icons on the map and minimap easier to spot, and make them actually work in towns and high population areas.
4. Make effects on my character pop up in scrolling text, and easy to see what type of CC it is. Every time I get CCed I have no idea what the hell it is that is affecting me.

2. Issue with the inventory when you move any item from it to the bank and the item keep there on the inventory needing relog to fix it.

3. FIX the freeholds specially the Wippow Willow when you plan it you get OAK instead of Wippow Willow.

Bugs with inventory. Items sometimes cannot be moved or appear to be duplicated (as in, when you try to move an item from one inventory slot to another, it acts as if it is occupying both the original slot and the new slot). The only way I have found to fix this is to close and reopen the game.
Bug that causes inability to pick up items. A temporary fix can sometimes be getting on and off your mount, but often it requires closing and reopening the game.
The bug that causes players to get stuck while moving. It happens most often when on my mount. I'll be walking forward, and then all of the sudden it's like there is an invisible wall. I have to back up and move to the side, then I am able to keep moving forward.

Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. NPC quest/introduction markers and associated proximity text never go away, even after accepting or completing the quest. This causes a great deal of unecessary confusion.
2. Frequent inventory glitches that occur randomly and prohibit movement of items. A relaunch of the game usually fixes the problem.
3. Various quests are unable to be completed even after criteria has been met. There have also been instances of quest items randomly deleting themselves, which is possibly related to the aforementioned inventory bugs.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Either get rid of tab targeting or active combat mode and build further upon whichever remains. Players utilizing the latter will always be disadvantaged despite active combat mode requiring (and providing) a greater level of engagement/difficulty. These two targeting systems are just not cohesive, and it does not make sense to give the option for greater immersion/engagement at the expense of competitive edge.
2. MORE LOOT! There just isn't enough loot dropping to keep players hooked while farming/grinding. I find one piece of equipment every 200 enemies or so. Even then, it is rarely an upgrade. Additionally, in large groups, the chance of winning a roll is slim. We need that dopamine fix!
3. Leveling takes too long. The grind is immense, to say the least. And that's fine. But, as a shift worker and a father with very little free time, I need to have a sense of progress beyond watching my XP bar advance at a rate that can't even be observed in real time. It's worse than watching a pot of water boil, and causes everything I do in the game to feel tedious beyond any point of appeal. I suggest adding additional levels and more points/perks/traits/skills so that players can enjoy a better sense of agency and development/growth.

1. Major issues where mobs will be dragged for miles and never return to starting point. There are times when elites are completely MIA because too many people come through the area and glitch it on an object nearby.

2. Some recipes are nearly impossible to come across or locate (Howling Wolf Recipe) By the time I was able to locate 5-6 of them we've already moved passed the armor set entirely. I've been farming a variety of mobs and elites to no avail for the last two I need. What few mobs are said to drop it are also bugged and either don't respawn or are showing drop tables not equal to their levels.

3. Medium is in a extremely nerfed place right now. A novice miner can go out with a novice pick and get a full legendary set of T1 gear with just a little bit of effort, whereas a hunter could dump legendary bow, epic bags x2, blue pants and shirt. and only come back with rare -heroic grade mats at best on a blue moon with 400+ quality rate. Its unbalanced as can be. Almost nobody is crafting medium due to it. Also why is it that cotton seeds are not available in town but flax seeds are?

I'm overall happy with the phase just hope that we can get more updates to freehold and caravans become more stable. (I'm sure this has been mentioned a lot.)

Bug prio - personal.

1. Caravan despawn/ vanishing

2. Taxes not showing paid, I understand this is most likely underway, really just would rather not have people losing everything in warehouses due to bugs.

3. Caravan Health replenishment on server crash or restart, while hilarious really defeats the effort attackers had put in during the event.

4.Loot pickup, having to logout and log back in in the middle of fights or just after clearing but still in hostile territory really spooks ya.

5. Speed / ability rubberbanding, happens way too frequently and may not be a game buster for most it infuriates me. especially when trying to clear out of incoming mobs.

Feedback

1. Having a more diverse skill tree would make it more appetizing to find new ways to play a class or incorporate weapon mechanics. So far a few of the abilities seem to really fall short of the basic starting ones.

2. Having a more intricate Player-to-Player market would really make it easier for solo players to reach out to specific specialists, instead of just searching an auction house.

3. Please allow for item searches as well instead of whatever people list on their store, as some still don't add any description.

4.Minus the holidays and what not(y'all deserve the time off) please interact or have more GM players come and play with the world.

5. When non-pvp flagged in nodes, there needs to be someway of moving through other players these stalls and warehouses are swamped and having to jump through them is annoying. Nothing to swanky though.

2. Bard songs act very weird. Songs randomly fall off or stay on forever making it very hard to tell if im buffing the party or not. Sometimes the aura is showing but the buff isnt working etc.

3. Party UI. It really sucks if you log out in a party your party frames just disappear. Also the party map markers don't even work correctly, There is a work around this that works for a split second but its such a hassle to use.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Caravans. The loop needs a lot of work. Would love to see more implemented into it. The reward for attacking is far to great and far to punishing if you are the one running the caravan. I think you should get corruption for attacking caravans, in the current state stealing from a dead person gets you at least purple flagged cant see why robbing active caravans is just "oh well". Would love to see surrender options so that you can surrender your cargo and keep your caravan. Caravan insurance, It's bad enough to lose your glint to players 10+ levels higher then you but in the current system you lose all the progress on the caravan components you've made.

2. Alt friendlyness. As it stands the game is 0 out of 10 for Alt friendliness would love to see ways to share gold, items and materials more easily across my account sooner then later.

3. Gathering tools. I really dislike the fact that if you make a gathering tool it just slots itself to the bar and thats your tool now. I would love for it to be a physical item that I can swap around.

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Weapon swap bugs. You quite often cannot change ranged weapon to melee and also shoot
2. Mobs getting stuck. This is a quite known issue and people have been exploiting it. Mobs either stop attacking or get stuck in places for you to freely shoot from afar
3. Not sure if it is a bug but render distance goes down significantly as number of players increase. In prime time, even if it not too crowded in my area, I see mobs rendering almost 1m away from me and then they immediately attack me
4. Storage system still gets bugged out. I cannot right click to unload my items. Sometimes they go to wrong tab in my storage(not the one that is open)

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Caravan cargo should be tradable/transferable. I do not enjoy riding caravan myself and the only way to convert your own glint into meaningful gold is by caravan. I wish we could load our friends/guilds caravan with our own cargo
2. Crafting does not make much sense now. You can start crafting level from Journeyman because no one crafts anything meaningful for low levels. Everyone uses their dropped equipment from monsters. Crafting to journeyman is just a waste of bunch of materials at the moment without any meaning.
3. Ashes is a community based game but that should not mean it is not playable when you do not have a party. You cannot find any good spots to farm monsters as a solo player. Even if you do so, it is simply not worth your time to do it because it is extremely inefficient compared to group play. Balancing is required.
4. Weapons and armors every 10 level seems to stretched. Maybe every 5 levels is better
5. In general, life skilling and adventure levelling are completely separate at the moment. People just rush to max level without any need of gathering or crafting stuff because monster drops are just enough. I would like to see a more connected system where life skilling goes parallel to adventure level

3. Commisions are generally unplayable early game except a few that work ocassionally. Main issue is where the boss/creature isnt spawning at all despite waiting hours.

1. love the speed of leveling I feel like despite being level 10 I impact fights( granted to a lesser degree) where normally a level 10 is one shot useless.
2. I know its an alpha but intro experience could be a bit better for players not so committed. (Early commisions functioning properly would help that). As well as maybe a question or chat line explaining that you need to go help build up nodes/grind up commisions/ or become stronger individually
3. Really love the profession system especially that I can be useful maxing that out but be useless in other regards is an amazing feeling/missing from other games. Reminds me of eve online where I am useless fighting but great in industry. Those are choices made spending hours in industry so I am useless there but a sacrifice in my combat ability feels very rewarding. Also without youtube videos I have 0 idea how to make any copper let alone sliver.

Top 3 Bugs

1. Tank chain works maybe 1/10 times correctly. I feel severely gimped in PvP when one of my core utilities fails to pull opponents to me. There has been issues with this ability since pre-alpha. Its time to focus on this.

2. Caravan issues - Teleporting to Carphin still, people exploiting the world edge barrier to travel with impunity, frequent disconnects causing issues with recovering the caravan, and issues with invisible terrain.

3. Inventory issues - "Frozen" inventory requiring a relog or mount/dismount to apply an update

Phase has been great so far but the blatant exploiting needs to be handled with a heavy hand. People hitting 25 during the first weekend cant possibly be intended. Multiply that by abuse of guild wars to farm glint and exp for other characters and you have a broken economy where the exploiters are able to reach power levels MUCH faster than the entire server. This causes obvious problems with them collecting the best gear/materials uncontested

[regal edge]

======================
Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Various Quest items clog up your Inventory rather easily. Prime example is the Items you need for "Seven Save us!" Quest. The various items dropped from the ghosts do not stop dropping once you have the requisite amount.
2. Various NPCs do not fight back. Example: The Minotauren dual-wielding Warriors stop their auto-attacks after a random interval of attacks (usually 4-7 attacks) and just stand there.
3. Threat. I am not fully certain this isn't intended, but when someone moves past you, if the enemy NPC has a ranged attack, they will try to hit you, and then aggro onto you, evne if you have done nothing to generate threat. This leads to a massive amount of spite amongst players, as people trying to leave places of grinding can lead large blobs of enemies to arriving players (called "training").

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. More low-level ore. This is of low importance, but the respawn-rate or respawn-chance for a minig node to contain copper seems a little on the low side. Granite and Basalt are incredibly abundant. This makes getting to higher crafting levels difficult, thus preventing testing of those.
   2.Attacking/Targeting - please remove the dropdown menu when selecting enemy targets in the game world via right-click. Either allow us to assign marks like Sun, Shield, etc. via a hotkey (the F1-8 keys are pretty good for that), or via right click on the healthbar in the top, when the target is selected.
2. I would also recommend making the health bars of entities in the game world stack and not overlap. Overlapping makes targeting things incredibly annoying for newer players. This also compounds with the issue that, once you change your keybindings, finding a specific key just to initiate auto-attack seems unnecessary when you could fix both visibility and accessibility with a simple change to health bars

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Caravan Issues, Caravans not placing or bugging in deployment. Rework moving caravans to new nodes into the Caravanner so we can call and store rather than summoning to world.

2. Mayor Turn in box doesnt work. Additionally some way to vote inactive mayors out. perhaps allowing for secretaries that can take on some of the mayor duties as well so there can be multiple players able to interact with the system at all times.

3. Fix War decs not going away and consider making towns safe zones. People train mobs into the storage area, Kill war deced lowbies in town over and over again, and some other crappy behavior. Why am I getting killed when looking at market stalls? What If I just bought an expensive item and then get killed or war deced on with no notice?

4. Players drown themselves and dont take xp debt or drop items but take durability. some players say they have dropped items as well. so one way or another this isnt working. on this note unstuck is used as a hearthstone by players and should not be, maybe rework the unstuck system to avoid this, as well as consider making an expensive scroll of teleport that binds to your citizen node with a long cooldown, another reason to pay your taxes (which should lock you out from citizenship longer if you dont pay).

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Dont ignore QOL features when implementing systems. People are overcritical and dont understand how Alphas are, but that wont help perception. Stuff as simple as reordering characters on the select screen (which we should have more slots available), Better search functions in the marketplace, A separate LFG and Trading chat channels, and optional profanity filtering.

2. In game GMs that can be ticketed and respond in game to issues. So players can describe issues to GMs as well as make players feel better about their testing. (My caravan was locked out for 3 weeks last test and didnt fix at all) Additionally multiple screenshots and even videos could be submitted online to help with bug squishing. As well as handling Harassment and overwhelming toxicity that is driving away testers, I have had multiple friends quit testing over how toxic people are in chat and in game.

3. Alternative money making options. Currently you need to run caravans or sell items in a placeholder market system. Selling glint feels bad but there really isnt other ways to generate currency in the game. Even something like an ear system in diablo where people could have a pvp prize that could also sell for silver could help, Hell make a crafting system that turns ears into scrolls that reduce experience debt or even 100 ears to reduce 1 level of corruption, allowing for tactical kills when needed.

4. Make some nodes Lawless, when I first heard about the desert It thought they would be lawless zones with pvp turned off in the cities allowing a place for people that want a constant pvp battle to have an area of the map to call home, this would also shift some of the more unwanted behavior like training mobs by providing a better outlet for people who might just want to pvp to an area they can enjoy similar to 0.0 or Nullsec, Hell Albion does this, it shouldnt be reserved for just the ocean.

5. Look into reworking the afk/autokick system this will only benefit when player shops come into the game I get kicked often when fishing even when interacting with the client consistently. More recipes for fish, Ex: fish meal allowing fish to be made into a dropping substitute will make farming/cooking more affordable and fishing able to actually generate an income outside selling to the vendor.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. The launch of wave 2 and running serverse for 3 weeks without proper oversight and support was a very bad move. If this came from some misguided belif in quantity over quality it badly missed the mark, Intrepid should promise not to commit future episodes of 'asentee' server administration and espesially never to have another defacto launch without maintence and monitoring.
2. Constant implelementation of half-ass 'placeholder' systems full of OBVIOUS explois combined with total lack of punishments for a large clearly unproffessional 'testings' crowd is ruining game community and reputation as exploiters learn to abuse early, abuse often and everyone else feels like a sucker for not also abusing, unless seriours ban hammer comes down soon on guilds which rocketed to the top by abuse then Steven will lose any credibility as someone who cares about preventing abuse.
3. Most agregiouse have been the node votes failing to have basic protection from alt ballot stuffing, virtually all elections were tainted, second has been guild and node wars which both of which operate on a horrible gank-count system and how allowed bottomfeeding of the worst sort on afks in town, the nature of the games NPC menus and tedious processing and storage preclude ANY worthwhile pvp in town and this needs to be corrected immediatly by disabling pvp flagging in town for all senarios other then possible Node Sieges.

1. When you fall behind, like with the holidays and you’re 5 lvls behind your party it’s impossible to close the gap cause it’s currently 3 lvls. Multiple people have quit over this and to group with pugs makes it even harder to catch up.
2. The overall test is in a bad spot right now, the quest rewards sucks, event quest not matter on high level. So what is left next to grinding is gathering or processing which not give enough experience compared to grinding. Grinding should not be the only viable way to get experience.

2. Freeholds free planting things everywhere seems to be very overpowered. Thankfully they are bugged but the slots to plant scarce resources like willow trees should be limited even for a freehold owner.
3. Events should last longer and get even harder as more people participate, zerging should not make events last only a few minutes. Also events should not be on a timer for the same reasons as #1
4. Quests and Commissions should have more interesting rewards. I'd say they should help spawn events instead of events being on timers, encouraging people to engage. (like Mayoral commissions are engaging with their buffs)
5. Having strong mobs randomly placed around the world creates exciting content. Right now they are most likely trained there but I believe this is one of the most exciting part of exploring the map and I believe high level mobs should be roaming around in lower level areas.

Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Caravan system doesnt work for some players (Caravans disappear, Caravns get stuck, wont spawn, etc)
2. Inventory getting stuck, won´t work anymore, shows wrong items.
3. Mob Training and Corruption baiting (turning on/off PvP to bait another playre into attacking and hoping they do it while u arent flagged so he gets corrupted.) Especially corruption is a problem. Sometime people just log off after they got corrupted and wait for their friends/guildmates let them kill them, to get rid of the corruption and get their gear back.

4. Weapon skills from different weapons working on every weapon. Makes some Weapon/class combos extremly strong > 5. Exploiting of the Unstuck button and the drowning of ur character to "fast travel" > 6. (Wrong tooltips for Spellweapons)

====================== Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:
1.Crafting is imbalanced, while u need copper thats rather scarce for the first 10 levels of Weaponsmithing, getting to lvl 10 carpentry is easy, which leads to many people running around with bows, bc they are easier to access. Ofc it makes sense that there are more trees than Ores, but maybe tune down the Ore requierements for the Items to counter balance it. (doesnt need to be a lot, 20% should suffice)
2.PvP Interactions are wanky in some way. Sometimes u flag wont flag urself and u get harrased by someone with a bow or an ability that damages/cc´s you and you know if u fight back now u have an significant disadvantage. I know its somehow intended but people are using this actively to avoid getting corrupted. U can heal someone infight without flagging for PvP sometimes. If one of a group flags up the whole group should be flagged up, to avoid corruption baiting. Right now if one of a group flags up, and you try to attack him and kill one of his "unflagged" mates, u´ll get corrupted even tough they maybe part of the fight with heals/buffs/auras etc
3. Render distance of Characters and Mobs should be adjusted. Its fine that u cant see nameplates on a distance, but u should be able to spot targets/threats. > 4. Bandits attacking caravans, should stay PvP Flagged for the whole durationof the caravan event so you instantly see if someone if stealing stuff that they transport. > 5. Not beeing able to farm emblems above a certain level may be intended, but after a while its really difficult to aquire those items if there arent enough low level players that sell them on the marketplace. I understand its probably to prevent high level players to farm in zones for lower level players, but at least let them drop more often, or make little pockets on the map with High level variants of the Mobs (Bandits for example).(( and not just threestar elites that oneshot you if u just look in their direction :D)

Apprentice leatherworking not possible till tanning also at apprentice due not skins - but tanned. So much leatherworking is wasted trying to raise processing.
3. Hunting system needs overhauled. Stage one - a carcass or animal is created. From there the carcass is further divided by various professions - Leather worker and Cooking come to mind. This leads to many shortages in both professions.

Top Bugs

1. CARAVANS - specifically turn in bugs. The recover system is a good direction but there are soooo many bugs with converting to raft and back and disappearing caravans.
2. Combat Finishers. You can apply finisher affects off of all leveled weapons. Should not be the case
3. Inventory and Storage. People are still losing stuff in cities or having to constantly relog while gathering
4. Party bugs. Exp and loot disappearing, unable to invite or leave parties.
5. New Gear. New gear from forge does not apply any set bonuses, unique or generic

Top feedback

1. Deal with exploits and the people abusing them.
2. Economy, materials, availability. To test these things they need to be available. Journeyman is not too far away as we grind away at apprentice. Will it be ready? It isn't atm
3. The desert. Make it interesting, see if the player base spreads out. There's nothing to do there atm
4. Combat balancing. Unsure where the balance is meant to land. Bards can Top dps due to design and bugs. Penetration is a useless Stat. Crits feel very overtuned.
5. Some information on t4 nodes and how they may impact the servers. I'm looking forward to testing these things, but when in alpha 2 are we going to get the new features? Holiday split felt more like phase 1.5.

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

• 1. Fix Treasure maps, i understand resources were made limited by design however without the ability to complete maps it become really difficult to make any progress. Plus i don't like spending 45m looking for treasure for it to bug out and cant loot it, or even worst have a character that can't even start a map quest.
• 2. Caravans need to stop disappearing while on a run.
• 3. Make the Verdant Voyager slower on land, its a crocodile, no reason it should be faster than a Raptor or horse lol

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

• 1. Mount Speeds dont make much sense, Raptors which are apex preditors of their time is slower than a horse? My vision of the raptor mount would be hunting down players in lawless zone on a cool looking raptor, not eating dust cuz i decided to rock my raptor mount cuz it look cool.
• 2. Make weaponsmithing a little less resourse heavy. Copper is already limited as it is, without guild funneling or Treasuremaps its near impossible for anyone to do weaponsmithing
• 3. You guy are killing it, people are gunna hate and people are gunna cry, ultimately this is a alpha, and you guys are being near completely transparent along the entire process which we greatly appreciate!

• 2. Bard melodies cancelling when hitting Esc (makes it difficult to change settings in the middle of battle.)
• 3. Mobs creating new leash points (when trained too far, mobs will create a new leashed point that's different from their starting point.)
• 4. Too many buffs on bar (Node buffs visually remain, drowning out new buffs including scrolls and from other players.)

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

• 1. Chat settings remaining (Removing/adding categories for the different chat tabs does not remain after logging out)
• 2. Add PvP flagging cooldown (currently, you can unflag at the last moment to force corruption on the other player)
• 3. Mounts are forever (as much as I love mounts, they need to be finite or the market will become stagnant.)
• 4. More Party Interactions (being able to mark the ground or points on the map that all party members can see would be helpful for quick communication.)
• 5. Bard needs a bar (currently, the Bard's sagas are hard to see on buff bar. Would be useful if they made use of the class resource bar instead.)

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Mobs slingshotting like crazy, having motion issues that make it difficult to determine whether they are moving, where they are moving, whether they are going to get stuck, etc.
2. Moving items around in inventory and from inventory to storage can often result in the item looking like it didnt move, or dissapeared. and then a relog (or some many minutes later) it appears as if it moved as intended.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Mobs can be agroed onto groups a little too easily. when they get outrun out of range, maybe it would be best for them to reset closer to their point of origin before any aggro can be created.
2. The economy will benefit from sortability by item and price within the node marketplaces. Prices stabilize based on what competitors set their prices to, and if a customer can't sort by price for a searched item, prices may be highly unstable. I also can't tell why a certain character's shop appears on page 1 vs page 4, and this could create wierd economic biases and innefficiencies.

1. Nodes leveling does not work. GM interaction has been required to progress them

2. Inventory Bug

3.No experience received

4.Killing NPCs from immune spots

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Top

1. Death is to punishing with exp debt and loss of items. Resource drops need to be reduced and glint should not drop at all.

2. The is TOO much risk in running caravans and NOT enough risk to attackers. Its punishing to lose all your work/time spent while the attacker has no equal loss. Attackers routinely respawn and return if killed. Caravan defenders should receive some compensation automatically and it should be deducted from the caravan profit when sold. Compensation dependant on distance traveled or other factors to be determined

3. Consider this, remove the corruption system, flagging system and make PvP only occur during pvp sanctioned events such as caravans, node wars, etc. As well as having certain areas be lawless with open pvp. Add dueling and arena for the sweats that just kill players for sport. This would cut down on the bloodthirst and griefing in the open world. The biggest number of MMO players just dont PvP.

Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Caravans disappearing and recover caravan button not usable (no boxes/caravans to use it on)
2. Treasure maps become unusable if logged out with an active treasure map quest
3. Inventory unresponsive and glint can't be looted frequently, requiring a client restart/cache clearing
4. Weapon skill trees tend to break often requiring full respeccing in order to get finisher bonuses to apply correctly.
5. Memory leaks are a lot more common since the start of Phase 2. Crashes/freezes are a lot more common.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Not enough T2 gatherables to make looking for them not tedious.
2. Caravan attackers should have some cost for attacking so it's not all reward with no risk (maybe require glint to buy crowbars in order to declare as attacker, for example. Those crowbars could be dropped/destroyed/lootable by defenders if killed as an attacker).
3. Artisan activities should give more base experience so that players can take a break from the mob grinding while still making some progress on their overall level. It shouldn't be equivalent to mob grinding, but it should be 3-5x the current amount imo.
4. The current marketplace system is an improvement over the nothing we previously had, but desperately needs proper sorting functionality and the ability to look for specific items rather than having to look through pages of shops based on minimal keywords that players may or may not use, and having to sort through countless unrelated items.
5. Tanks need some major love. The poor guys need exp debt immunity or something, and I'd like to see them have more interrupts and CC to be more impactful in groups and have a bit of an easier time when soloing. Shorter cooldowns and more mitigation abilities would also be nice.

2. Inventory bugs (Missing items, vanishing items, broken transfers, broken trading, broken loot pick ups, etc.)
3. Mob/Environement Spawn bugs (Broken spawns, mobs running off into the sunset, trees halfway in the ground, mobs blinking in and out of existence, green mobs you can’t hit but they can hit you, wild aggro rules, no leash, janky mobs speeds, etc)
4. Infected debuff causing healing received to kill you even after the buff has vanished. I don’t know if this was intended or not but it seems like a problem. If a random is just trying to be helpful and heals me unknowingly only to kill me and then they become corrupted and flagged…just sounds like a headache.
5. Spell cast freezes Sometimes when casting spells, especially magma field as a mage, I’ll just get locked in the animation and nothing happens but I can’t cast anything else while locked in place and it’ll stay like that for 1-2 minutes.

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. Exploitation – With seemingly no real consequences in sight its just encouraging more people to do it and a ridiculous amount of guilds have been making good use of any exploits they can find. Its definitely having a noticeably negative impact on servers.
2. Gatherables – Something just doesn’t feel good about everyone on a server waiting for a building and then within an hour of that building going up, all the resources related to it have been gathered out of existence. The static spawns, the bottleneck in profession advancements, the limited amount of gatherables currently available and their respawn rates, it just all feels off. I always feel there is never enough to go around.
3. Crafting/Processing – Sitting in the UI playing click simulator. Since every piece of gear has to be made 1 by 1 its very tedious and boring. Also, the processing numbers/limits are just unnecessary and feel bad. Having 44 of an item and having to process it in a batch of 25 then 10 then 5 and then 4 individual sets of 1 is crazy.
4. PVP Flagging Rules – These are just weird. If I’m in a lawless zone just auto flag me, I shouldn’t have to remember to force pvp in a lawless zone of all places. The flag rules/healing rules in parties, raids, and carvans are also weird. Overall I just think the flagging rules and situations need work.
5. Performance – Memory leaks, rubberbanding, crashes, stuttering, freezes. First it was the server workers crashing then exp and chat messages being delayed or never appearing, now it just lags my whole pc daily. Its really from one thing to the next lately.

Alpha Two Phase II Feedback

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

• 1. Caravans system
• 2. Storage system in any village
• 3. After a relog in a party the entire party frame glitches

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

• 1. Use the bann hammer… people have been exploiting, grieving, gatekeeping and overall been acting toxic and vile. There should be a difference between causing friction and actively being able to work against people having a good time.

Leaving the game unsupervised for 2 weeks and giving people warnings or a setback to lvl 1 is a to low punishment. Imo….

• 2. Animal husbandry needs more love! It is an unfair advantage how everybody can start doing their professions and animal husbandrists need 10G on their name just to get it to lvl 2 or 3… i understand that its a game and a money sink. But you are always lacking behind in a sense because you are constantly fighting against your own wallet where other players have the free momentum due to no costs. Also are the mounts and rarities out of balance… a green wolf is just as important as a grey one and the crocodile is the best out of every other mounts?

T1 mount should have same speed
T2 same speed

And rarity should make a difference.

Also the rarity should somewhat increase as its impossible to get anything higher then blue (but not too much as this would mean high crafting gear loses value due to carcasses being in high stock)

• 3. Hunting is not where it should be… right now hunting is not in a good place. Everybody is saying copper is a rare resource yet it spawns in every node in many different locations same as woodcutting. But for hunting you have a few animals (raptors, oathbear, runic steed, crocodile) which have overall about 5 spawn points on the same exact location for all 6000 current players. It is impossible to get our resources due to simply groups spawn camping materials because its the only location in the game…

Alpha 2 Feedback:

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Render distance when PvPing between raids for Guild wars. Very hard to see til they are right on top of you. Rubber banding happens often as well.

2. Map UI, Marks from group/raid members consistently going in and out, cannot track where everyone is.

3. Caravan Bugs, periodically disappearing at random times while going from point A to B.

4. Treasure maps do not work and should have a time limit displayed instead of just randomly disappearing.

Top 3-5 Important Feedback topics:

1. Flagging should have a longer time limit, current time limit is too short and leading to Corruption baiting.

2. Crafting materials should have a way to input specific amount instead of pre-sets.

3. Quests overall feel like they aren't worth doing, nothing to really incentivize it.

4. Chat window for selling/buying items.

4. Monster AI enabling mob trains. (Monster pull on me by someone else on purpose to force me out from grinding spot )
5. Rubber banding

Top 3 Most Important Feedback:

1. To little resources for the amount of players (of to slow respawn)
2. Attacking 8 - 12lvl player caravans by max lvl players.
3. Stealing flowers, wood, ore or hunting animals by CC while you already collecting your resources by high lvl players
4. No other possibility to earn gold (caravans are to risky on my server)
5. Guild storage. Crafting is great but while I'm a tailor and tanner it's difficult to aquire mats from weaver or hunter

Top 3-5 Most Important Bugs:

1. Sometimes being able to Heal Enemies (Could not figure out why it happens)
2. Damaging allies with healing if the healing negation debuff from undead is on them
3. Copper spawn to rear wich results in gate keeping all the gathering professions

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. The Player Storefront System feels realy bad. There are not enough characters to "tag" everything. The findability of items is practically non-existent and has the same problem as any system that is based on community-assigned tags. It is impractical for people with dyslexia because the smallest spelling mistake means that you cannot be found or cannot find anything.
2. There should be a queue for the mayor's tasks so that there are tasks for the citizens for a longer period of time. I often had the problem that I couldn't do any mayor's tasks because there were no more available due to the sheer number of players and the mayor should not be expected to set new tasks every 4-6 hours.

2. Non-functioning treasure maps
3. Tier 2 trees that spawn within the rock textures of mountain plateaus are impossible to harvest
4. Tier 2 trees planted on freeholds are harvested like oak trees

Top 3-5 Most Important Feedback Topics:

1. The caravan raiding system is completely unbalanced. The attacking side gains everything without losing anything. This system should be tied to karma accumulation, with players becoming PK after reaching a certain threshold. Alternatively, to avoid penalties, attackers could use a war scroll, making it a deliberate action rather than just a circus of freaks
2. Implement the ability to insure caravans. You reduced profits after the first wave without offering anything in return. People are simply losing their expensive wagons without any options to preserve them. If you don't want to see tools in caravans (such as weapons or gathering tools, which for some reason don't disappear when destroyed) that can be repaired, at least provide an option for compensation if a person doesn't want to lose everything
3. Do not include resource gathering professions in the limit of chosen professions. Since you don't want to reduce the respawn time for resources, a 2-hour respawn time for ore and wood is far too long for a single server with such a large number of players

1. Corruption and death penalties
   There is far too much punishment for dying. (With point 2 it’s even worse) losing xp, time, durability resources (glint being gold is awful) xp debt and stats.
   2:Monster AI - leash range and monsters randomly changing targets while resetting or monster training makes the game unfun.
   3: xp and loot penalties for grouping with lower level friends is bad. Don’t punish people for grouping while grouping being the only way to level
   4: monster balance - why are pyros etc using 1 shot skills in aoe grind gameplay? Add in point 2 makes its bad
   5: gathering/crafting - the resource bags are unnecessary. The amount of resources that are need for crafts. The time to process them is too long.

3. crafting lags far behind the gear you need, by the time you get the materials needed your already to high lvl or have found something better.
4. Open Dungeons are cool, but not having a boss to push towards at all makes grinding very repetitive. Sure there are bosses but its different then making your way deeper into a dungeon and into an epic boss room.
