Yeah. That's skeezy as fuck.
BAD WOLF
oh they're back, what a surprise, lmao!
Also, the forums are gone. So you can't check out the fanboys there anymore. The team is gone, I can't see who's working on this ''game'' right now. And their discord is (I assume) private? I don't dare to try and join it. I would feel ashamed too much, but on the other hand I miss out on a lot of lols.
AND the best part... THE MAP IS BACK!

I think they had this as a mouse pad a while ago. Good stuff, we're back!
Wait...Trials of Ascension AND Ashes of Creation are 2 different games?
There is some drama with Ashes of Creation also its becoming a Battle Royale instead of a MMO.
Im confused by this 2 games.
I'd suggest everyone take another look at Day of Dragons. It looked bad in the beginning but the developer hasn't run off with the money, big names have been hired (Jia Hao for models, Simon Chylinski for sounds, Rey Fernandez jr for music). The "truth about dod" video purposely misrepresented a lot of things, for example when he states that most dragons are planned to be paid dlc, he pulls from two different quotes that say the opposite. That was never the plan. The two years in development wasn't two years of coding, it was conceptualizing with some friends who later left, and switching engines twice.
Even if DoD flops it won't be because Jao, the dev, is a scammer, it will have because he's too ambitious. but at least he knows how to code. lmao.

And the wheel turns once more.
Oh brother. Just reading this quote "the initial founders of the project turning over the IP to me with heavy hearts and feeling as though they had failed to accomplish the dreams of not only their backers and supporters but themselves as well." made me roll my eyes so hard they almost popped out of my head and rolled under my desk. Yeah the initial founders that couldn't code, had a make believe studio 10+ years ago refused to compromise to supposed interested game companies, blah blah blah sad story. So they come back to scam people out of their money and when that fails they scratch together more money to release a shitty demo.
Why exactly would anyone want this IP and try to do something with it is beyond me. I'll enjoy watching this continue to burn.
I never condoned the banning of IGP or icy. I actually disagree with it completely. But, as far as I knew Jao was in the right. I tried to argue in good faith. You did a good job clearing that up though. I really don’t know what this guy is thinking. I hope he reverses his tos breaks asap.
This game really does need to be taken off steam if they are pulling all of this shady shit. Either way this Jao guy is laughing all the way to the bank as he's ripped off countless people already.
Oh my. Here we go again!
That was a very good video. How can Jao defend any of this is beyond me.

Back to your bridge, you evil Troll!
I really don't understand how anyone can, with a straight face, offer the "it's just one guy" excuse when addressing why something that has been offered to the public is fundamentally shitty and/or broken. Either hire more help or scale back your wish list of features until you can reasonably accommodate them in the product; anything less is a tacit expression of sheer incompetence.
