Hey all, Don't forget to drop a COMMENT on the video letting me know what do you think ? And if you Enjoy, Hit that LIKE button as it really helps the channel out. This week I'll be dipping Into why I believe small guilds in ashes of creation can do realy well! By no means is this a diss on Zergs but more to highlight to new comers and smaller guilds that there is a place for them in ashes if creation and to not be put off by any misinformation on it being a Zerg only game which it clearly is not. Hopefully we can see a nice balanced guild numbered game, but will there be Zergs! Of course but the way it will play out will benefit all guild sizes due to the systems in ashes of creation. Just need to see how ashes deals with people splitting there guild Into sects of 50 hopefully the limit of 4 man Alliance's work.

Huge, thanks for the video! I think while you are correct that the advantage foes to the ones who play often together, I would wonder what would happen if we has a party of 8 in different guilds do that family spawn and gather together 8 people each to the fight location. As you said, the initial advantage will go to the small clan who works together, but the zerg power of this magnitude is unquestionable. Plus being a larger clan allows you access to the building of the guild hall within the city that they contribute the most to. This will allow the larger guilds access to additional XP/money which will give an earlier advantage to "main clans". All things considered, it's an interesting subject and I'm interested in delving into that discussion with clan leaders at or just before launch.

Cheers mate, no problem. Yeah i do agree if the zerg are all working together in small area they will have the earlier advantage they'll gain money faster and there node due to the higher population would level faster meaning there node opens things up to them quicker, the thing is though keeping an eye on all those members to make sure there all in one spot doing what was planned is the hard part. But I agree this is something that needs to be seen and tested before it can be fully judged. And to be fair I am already starting these conversations with some of the clan leaders and its something I do plan to test in alpha 2.

MMO PVP = training your team to 1) Quickly identify enemy healers (typically by the healing spell graphic) and focus on them to kill first, 2) Kill cloth DPS casters second, 3) ranged dps next, 4) melee dps next, 5) tank classes last. The team leader doesn’t fight but avoids combat and calls out each stage to give direction to the battle. Healers keep each other up if they are attacked while healing their dps players. Tanks are expendable and are there to draw dps. Tanks that have stun and casting interrupts should focus on these attacks to slow the enemy heals and caster dps. Five players to five hundred these tactics will win. Your team may drop behind in player kills initially but as you complete each stage the battle will rapidly end in your favor. Zergs typically are unruly gangs of players that just wade in and attack the nearest enemy without any regard to a plan. When zergs of similar size fight it become a skirmish with ranged attacks with the occasional tank charging into the enemy zerg only to get swarmed and killed. A coordinated charge by an organized guild force, following the plan above, will typically cause the a zerg to break and run as the charging guild moves forward as one coordinated unit while a zerg is a disorganized mass of individual players. It will be easier to organize and train smaller guilds to use these tactics as they are usually a tighter group will some level of cohesion and loyalty to each other. Large guilds are usually made up of groups of friends who game together and single individuals . The friend groups have no loyalty to other friend groups nor do the individuals have loyalty beyond what they can get from the guild. Guilds like this form zergs and pick a zone to roll through killing everyone. No skill. Just numbers.

i think that knowing the extent of how strong the abilities are will be key - i.e. is a skill point either 2 to 5 guild slots vs 1 to 5 % buff of a skill? is it going to be more min maxy than impactful,? And assuming there is a large pvp focused guild with competent pvpers, the difference in power might be hut and miss. hardcore pvpers might gravitate to larger guilds. they also have the advantage of numbers in communication having more feet in the ground. i hope that they can find a way to balance it well but i think you have to be realistic - its possible their 15 man roaming party is very much on comms, better at pvp and will stomp the small guilds even if you have the same 8 people 😂

Yeah, I agree we definitely need to know what these buffs and augments are in the video I could only take guess they may change it throughout development. Yeah no I definitely agree if a 300 man guild comes for your 50 man guild you're totally gonna get steamrolled no matter how good you are and how well you communicate. I more mean if you have 8 people from both types of guild (a 50 man and 300 men) if they have the same skill level and the same level of communication I think it will definitely weigh more in the positive for the smaller guild. However, you are correct if the smaller guild isn't communicating or there not as skilled at PVP even with the augments and passives they probably will get smashed. There are pros and cons to the system and I definitely see there being some heavy exploiting it will be interesting to see how intrepid handles it.

For world bosses it is definitely balanced as the group that does the most damage gets the loot so even if they jump you at the end and they kill it, due to you doing the most damage you'll still get the loot. They have just changed the caravan system so you can make pit stops so if you are getting chased or feel like you are going to get in trouble you can stop at a node along the way. Some places will be more populated you are right but the world is now 2.5x larger meaning nodes and points of intrest are more spread apart meaning so that the population will also be spread apart but we will have to see how it works in game.

I really like direction of this game, I think that RPG games have to serve their purpose, same like horror movies or comedy movies and I think that no one can complain about anything that is immersive gameplay. I see PvE players that complained about New World PvP or any MMO really as whiners and spoiled brags of this gaming mmo era, they are the problem in this genre, no matter how you try to make me tolerant I would not be because they complain about immersive content and they want convenience on top of everything to satisfy their needs which is treating games as business model and playing for progress only. We should strike them hard and not let them lead mmo industry, try to change their way of mmo gameplay and try to be reasonable. This era of mmo complaining has to stop, because you don't complain in horror movies because they are scary and seriously, while every business strives on improving itself and feeding on customer's opinion, do you go out and complain about stuff all the time in coffee pubs or MC donald for example? It is really weird age in my opinion, especially when you disagree with PVE players, then they want you to be more ''tolerant'' as you approach them directly like I did now.

I do like the direction that Ashes of Creation is going and I do like that they are sticking to there guns with the direction they had planned to go in. As PvP player myself I really did like this months livestream when they announced the open waters were going to be an open world free for all were you don't have to flag for PvP and you won't gain corruption from it. I discussed this a bit in my newest video and its something i really want to get into during alpha 2. I think some people really love the PVE in this game but they are straight up PVErs and I think they do cling to hopes they can get complain enough to get the PvP systems diminished or reduced in the game to a high degree but from what I am seeing from intrepid this isn't going to happen and its something there going to have to learn to live with if they want to play the game but on the other side of the PvE coin (especially in my guild) they are really accepting of it and they accept that while they may not be the best at it, its in the game, its something to get involved in even if they aren't good at it. So it just depends on the person. I'm sure there are some PvP players out there also lobbying for the PvE to be reduced in the game. I feel like it is just the mindset we have gotten ourselves into, if its not perfect and 100% what we want then people will complain rather than experience it and have fun.

@@Azrial if PvP player complains about PvE then he should ''learn'' how to play MMOs, there should not be PvPer or PvE player in first place, we should all treat MMOs as a complete game, you do quests, adventuring, learning about lore through PvE content, professions and gathering and on top of that PvP, now I don't mean you have to PvP everyone you meet, but from time to time when you want some action. I think Ashes of Creation is a great start to learn accepting other's peoples playstyle and of course to start trying out new stuff. I remember when I started PvE in WoW legion, before that I would never enter raids or dungeons at all and I admit I was playing game wrong, same goes for players for example that don't do crafting/gathering in MMOs, we should all see it as content, every little bit of content there is, it adds more hours to the game, for example if you really started liking crafting, you could put 500 hours into game easily, 500 for PvP and another 500 to PvE, maybe few hundreds into adventuring and questing too?

The ability of a leader to pick and pull apart groups by making people chase, and they always chase will be a major factor in small v large battles. However I would imagine that at a certain group size the numbers will just carry, there is realistically no way to balance this but I am very optimistic about this system as we are a 20 man/woman group who are very selective about who joins.

Massive guilds are a cancer on MMO's. There's always going to be a way to circumnavigate limitations, off the top of my head you could have an alliance type deal where you break up the guild into smaller guilds to take advantage of the apparent benefits and coordinate your attacks. I don't wanna be negative because I really want this game to succeed but unless they actively work against cesspool guilds it's going to be a shitshow. OCE is already dominated by one guild and it's made recruitment impossible because any new members looking just instantly go to the big guild. At the end of the day numbers will always win, communication and buff/debuffs only do so much but when you're up against on overwhelming force you have no chance really.

You may not like them but the massive guilds will also be instrumental in MMOs to keep the player base up and to form the larger nodes but if you are not into them you can just keep an eye on what server they plan to go to and avoid that server especially if there's just one that has formed in your region. It's like avoiding the streamer servers so you don't have to wait in queues haha. From the way steven has talked they are actively trying to limit the amount of damage these zerg type guilds can do by removing fast travel as that's one of the main mechanics for zerg play. "Alliance type deal where you break up the guild into smaller guilds to take advantage of the apparent benefits and coordinate your attacks" The one thing that should hopefully limit this is you can only be in an alliance of 4 guilds (so your guild and 3) and in a PVP situation were you'd expect everyone to be flagged it means if they aren't allied as they've broke down into too many groups there's gonna be a decent amount of friendly fire from the AOE attacks.

@@Azrial I don't have the luxury of avoiding said servers because we're only getting one (AFAIK) I can't name a single positive of having cesspool guilds though so the claim that they're good for population is somewhat bogus imo, there's no sense of community despite what they claim, all the benefits go right to the top in a pyramid scheme type thing, it disincentivizes people to join smaller guilds because they get crushed. As for node development it's my understanding that the guild that contributes the most to said node get's to "rule" in a sense which means that automatically goes to cesspool guilds, Those of us in smaller guilds will be stuck to small towns or live under another guild city, I personally don't think that's good for the games longevity.

*The 300 man guilds will be all recruitment, they'll seed the smaller specialized guilds with their appropriate members.*

I'm not sure what you mean here mate? if the 300 man guilds put all points into recruitment they can't split that guild down once they have seen who they will like to keep as of now you cant change or adjust your augments for size points or vice versa. You may have some massive guilds that may have one group of 50 that has their best PvPers in and have them choose to go and passives and buffs but I think this will be the minority. It all depends on what these buffs are.

The Alpha 1 testing phase has ended we currently have no dates on the Alpha 2 testing phase just that it will be a persistent Alpha, I presume it will drop in November/December time. If you buy in your get sub time for when the game launchs, access to A2, and embers for there in game cosmetics store not just that earlie hands on with the systems in AOC.

They can do that but they can only ally with three other guild so they would end up hitting each other with aoe. It will happen though there is no doubt about that.

you cant fully toggle PVP off so people cant attack you but you can make it so you don't flag for PVP meaning the guy who attacks you gains corruption but you will drop more resources if you are not flagged on PVP.

im expecting a gank fest and im avoiding this game until it proves me wrong.

I don't think it'll be a Gank fest at all unless people are willing to lose levels, and access to certain parts of the game going fully corrupted, aswell and gear drops, it really doesn't insentivise just going out ganking. Add in the politics you will want to protect people in your area and allow folk to feel secure, don't get me wrong head out in to the world and maybe folk will attack for certain resources for sure. Best thing you can do is watch the Alpha 2 footage and see how you find it I'll be fully covering all if it 👌 Cheers for the comment

Small guilds always kill mmos, zergs are always better than small guilds and its more fun. This is another case of players not knowing what makes a game fun.

Totally disagree mate Zergs play for sure can be good and has its place but if you think guilds of 50 to 100 kills MMOs you going to have to get use to seeing this a LOT in ashes of creation and being disappointed. As for players not knowing what makes games fun I've personally ran a guild and had multiple servers locked down for years and had great fun but where we the biggest numbered,No...but most successful for sure or we would not of mained them for years. Trying to keep a node alive for months maybe years will take organisation of the likes not many current MMO guilds are use to, good strong and TRUSTED Alliance's and players, if you have a zerg of players some you can't keep a track of could for sure set your downfall on course. Smaller guilds will find the game of thrones ellements/poltics to this warfare much easier. That being said there's a place for both.

man we heard the same hype about guild wars 2 and resource camps etc, in the end the zerg will always be the meta. quit riding the hype train.

You can not compare resource camps in GW2 WvW to the node system in Ashes of Creation its on a totally different level which is one of the base system in Ashes. Zergs will have a lot of power but if you actually look at some of the systems put in place (like no fast travel stopping zergs from easily forming and a limited family system) you will understand there is balance to be had here for smaller guilds (due to the augments and skills you get from being in a smaller guild). To you, I would say stop riding the negativity train.
