alpha-two-general

[solemn moss]

which is why i think it's a bug, OR stealing someone elses crates drop the price significantly

cause i stole these off someone else

[light fjord]

well mines for 3 crates

[vast juniper]

any way to reassign group members? like the sorting in group

[solemn moss]

however i've stolen different types of crates before and they don't drop this hard

[modern stump]

route to kal thorum is the most common one wym, people will do miraleth to there all the time

[solemn moss]

yeah..miraleth..i'm at aith

[modern stump]

same thing it starts either from althanhar or miraleth and goes all the way to kal thorum or vice versa

[solemn moss]

this one might actually be dr..i dont think NA was though

[buoyant helm]

Its just not scaling properly, the DR must have a minimum that is too low or the shortest route may have a baseline too high. Avens to Briar and back is by far the best

[timber pulsar]

Probably some sort of bug. Here is what the wiki says

"The gold value is based on the demand for the commodity at the destination node as well as its distance from the originating node"

they shouldnt be the exact same

[solemn moss]

yeah that i know..there's 1 more thing affecting it at new aela im not sure what

[vagrant ginkgo]

this game is sad

[solemn moss]

polar burned NA down apparently, or cause i stole them, not sure what it is

[timber pulsar]

seems like every phase that guild causes problems lol

[buoyant helm]

It should be balanced such that running trash crates is best between briar and Avens, but good crates should be worth it to take further. They aren't really, which makes good crates hardly worth it at all

[vast juniper]

any way to reassign group members? like the sorting in group

[solemn moss]

yeah i just dont know if anything they did would affect the crate sell price llo

tryna figure it out

[wicked axle]

apparently sport fishing is something the developers just cannot possible wrap their little heads around. seriously, how is this such a shitty buggy mess? just remove it and restart.

[buoyant helm]

Its a 1 to 1 copy from archeage, so i think for this initial version they gave it to the interns. Copying completely isnt that hard a task

[solemn moss]

me when i cant climb trees

[keen halo]

anyone else stutter randomly when they are playing ive dropped everything to low and it still happens it wasnt happening yesterday

[wicked axle]

critical catches just throw the fish in a random direction and you have to hunt for them, and fish randomly become "too far" to fish despite doing everything perfectly. i do not like the luck aspect of something that should be entirely skill based

[solemn moss]

i get freezes a lot crossing specific areas..some of them are from switching server workers and some arent

[livid urchin]

que rn anyone?

[light fjord]

where did u log out

[timber pulsar]

[livid urchin]

shol

[timber pulsar]

Great feedback

[wicked axle]

thanks, read down bub

[bold temple]

right clicking on scrolls consumes them, when you're in storage tab................... -50s yay

[livid urchin]

nah for real, is there a que in shol rn

[trail raptor]

Im thinking its either bots driving down prices at this point or devs nerfed crate income into the ground because it was making too much gold.

[solemn moss]

i dont think so cause aith prices were normal

[timber pulsar]

🫃

[trail raptor]

If you do buy orders in vassals areas do you get citizenship rep for your main settlement or only for the vassal?

[timber pulsar]

Too many Chinese gold selling bots doing crate runs pumping gold

[wicked axle]

idk how bots would be doing long crate runs when there is no guaranteed safe path every time

[dawn solstice]

after 3 months i finally get a successful server load and get kicked XD

[trail raptor]

My inventory window panel is stuck in top right hand corner of screen, tried changing resolution so I can drag it but still won't move. Any ideas?

[vast juniper]

lower resolution or window screen mode

[trail raptor]

Ya tried that didn't work

[night elm]

And yes, I can mount them both.

[celest vault]

cat adoption network doing it's work

[trail raptor]

Fixed it, had to spam the tabs until the UI debugged itself

[spring moon]

what a bs system

[autumn arrow]

nomnomnom

[high eagle]

Kitties!

[agile elbow]

I do this all the time. It’s not a mount feature for players who rubber-band and complete the login quest?

[night elm]

I un-summoned my mount when crossing SW boundaries, And at the same time a wolf bit me in the ass.

[vast juniper]

Hud Editor Maybe? "Reset to Defaults"?

[night elm]

Nothing to do with hud. I have to cats

[vast juniper]

Hud Editor Maybe? "Reset to Defaults"?

[timber pulsar]

im coming to getcha

[timber pulsar]

Strength in numbers and unlimited time

[trail raptor]

If you do buy orders in vassals areas do you get citizenship rep for your main settlement or only for the vassal?

[wicked axle]

you get corrupted for killing non combatants

[tall pumice]

be nice feature if mobs and mounts/pets would show in proximity on your mini map.

[solemn moss]

atleast when they're targeted

[rocky matrix]

You can collapse the bags and it will drop the window down maybe ? I’ve had this happen too.

[simple oxide]

Theyre still testing out iterations of the corruption system but atm attacking anyone who doesn't fight back will net you corruption. Personally I think that picking up a crate belonging to someone outside of your party or raid should automatically flag you. And mounts shouldn't gain you corruption like they do currently but instead flag you up for 5 minutes.

[solemn moss]

picking up someone elses crate should def hit you with a timer like crowbaring them does

and crowbaring is actually so bad and needs a buff that no one does it

[simple summit]

It is important to maintain a positive attitude when pvping!

[plucky garnet]

TROGDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR

[fleet knot]

need is greed

[rigid ledge]

imo the gathering this phase feels horrible.

[fleet knot]

let me know how to get in, it seems to be a puzzle of sorts for how it disappears when I get too close

[modern stump]

use green salad+elixir for gather. ez gains

[fleet knot]

dont forget about 180m scroll

[modern stump]

thats for exp

[fleet knot]

oh lol

[elfin latch]

still trying to solve the ultimate puzzle

[modern stump]

it seems food and elixir buff goes off while logged out. well i guess my test worked. logged on an alt and now its not on my main.

[reef pelican]

Wheres the best place to farm a radiant ranger bow?

[fleet knot]

I look forward to when the Dev Gods Bless the North with More content and Love, Like they did to the RiverLands, we need more development, everything just looks like place ment random locations, vs Riverlands designed layout that it has become

[fleet knot]

Id say anything level 20+ with a bow, humanoid of sorts

[modern stump]

ngl i got my bis recipes in north lul. uncontested level 20+ humanoid farm. not to mention your areas are stacked af with resources compared to riverlands. But yea market is bigger down in the pleblands

[dreamy sage]

How to get the caramel in the Caramilk bar?

[elfin latch]

easy. by caramelling

[fleet knot]

we got them rocks and flowers 🙂 and the mountain views lol,

[simple oxide]

Tbh this is a bit of a problem...

[tall pumice]

how longs the timer on your death ashe

[merry shale]

so i made 1250 food in cook and its 250 stacks is there any way to transfer it to bank?

[solemn moss]

heavy armor rangers are so broken lmao

why are my ashes repeatedly disappearing on death

heavy armor has literally no downside besides less mag resist thats it

just able to be tanky as shit and do max damage

[livid oasis]

yup welcome to crate system, where it's heavily catered to the attacker to the point it's carebearing.

[charred mauve]

yeah and they kill their corrupted alt right away to collect their gear lol

[glacial jacinth]

ashes shitty flagging and corruption system. cant say i miss it one bit.

[tall pumice]

its pretty bad

[glacial jacinth]

why i cant wait for star citizen to be an mmo. at least they dont have bs flagging systems and its either you suck or you dont suck.

[grand ice]

we got a long LONG road ahead

[glacial jacinth]

been waiting since high school and i now have children who are almost 10

[grand ice]

you got your own personal mining bots now

[solemn moss]

still sleeper..killing ships gives you nothing unless you physically go aboard and steal their shit and happen to be carrying cargo

[glacial jacinth]

i wish bro. they play roblox with the creeps. cant get them off that game no matter how hard i try

[solemn moss]

and arent those heavy fighters still broken af 😂

[grand ice]

teach em to fly stick, loved it as a kid and its what got me into flight sims lol

[grand ice]

some are better than others, the F8C flys like a brick but the guardian feels nice af to me. Still can lose to a decent medium pilot

[glacial jacinth]

honestly i have no clue. i got a banu merchantman and a cutlass and havent actually played the game. ive hopped on my cutlass once every couple years to fly and thats about it.

[solemn moss]

last time i played it was just everyone in vanguard wardens 1 shotting everything while being unkillable

[jagged crest]

Happy new year from Venezuela!

[solemn moss]

is there even a point to wearing armor except heavy lmao

[torn prism]

Do something about the damn lag... im 100 miles from the server with fiber internet and i have 1800000 ms ping...

[dim scarab]

go celebrate, what you all doing sitting in queue?

[wary sigil]

Keep crashing on Lotharia in the Anvils... what gives?

[dim scarab]

Happy New Year!

[bold temple]

onlycrates, funny name. pathetic strats

[fluid mesa]

async issues still a problem?

[bold temple]

i have never had it, and i did not have it today either 🙂

i got async when i disabled VPN mid login, but it just kicked me to login and all was fine.

[rich geyser]

If there is a congested peering point between you and their servers it's gunna hurt.

[spice hawk]

its fighter leap skill

[quiet bay]

amazing game design

one player get corrupted and your crates are being picked up by his friends that kill him to burn corruption and no flagging at all for picking up the crates. just amazing

[rigid escarp]

Leap Strike (it doesnt work in deep water L)

[random isle]

Hmm interesting. He’s a bard so how the heck is it on his hot bar lol

[charred mauve]

secondary class skill

[cursive tinsel]

It’s the anti grav saga

[coral crag]

Do you guys find in prime time the abilities fail a bit. Sometimes I find my character doing the backstab animation and having to click it 4 times before it actually does a backstab. Then in offtimes it all works fine.

Makes it really unplayable mobs I can normally solo, I cant when its like that. As its way harder to do combos etc. Jumps fail to move me etc.

Could be more of a problem with Aussie ping? Do US or EU people find the same?

Even happens in unpopulated areas like the anvils

[elfin flint]

yea I would imagine we will see more versions of this system before long.

[gray parrot]

Happy new year! Question- where does the void break pickaxe recipe drop from?

[wicked leaf]

Is the Liege storage expansion in the game yet?

[lilac gulch]

I can't believe you woild try to photoshop evidence against glop

[quiet bay]

why change such a nice system. you just camp out of town and return the stolen crate, get full amount of gold without flagging. But you flag if you use a crowbar to open it. So clever!

[dim iris]

I don't understand why people are not complaining more about the Shol Lumbermiller vendor in NA being bugged out and not selling T3 mats. It's been bugged out for over 2 days now. No fix incoming from Intrepid. ONly option for players is to downgrade the LM and rebuilt?????? what the shit is this? It's a bug that needs to be corrected by Intrepid.

[lilac gulch]

Because the loudest people are the pvpers, not the crafters

[dim iris]

Literally sitting with mats in my bag to make Glorybound and can't.

[lilac gulch]

Please- we need more ppl to bug report that in game! I bet intrepid works on kinda a triage system, we have to kick up a fuss for them to realize its important to us.

[hardy cape]

Miraleth on pelune seems to crash me rn

think that whole area is bugged

[pulsar hull]

Glop is love!

[serene olive]

welcome to ashes of creation

[rich geyser]

i love how a level 7 quest sends you to RoS

[simple oxide]

you realize the game hit KS in July of 2017... it didn't even start production until 2018...

im talking about AoC lol. i agree with you on SC

[glacial jacinth]

well i was talking about star citizen. read the convo

[simple oxide]

i guess i didn't scroll back far enough lmao

[glacial jacinth]

hope you learned a lesson

[rich geyser]

counting years in production for that one is complex due to the re-scoping, time to build a studio from scratch, and people forget they're making two games at once

[simple oxide]

whats the 2nd game?

[glacial jacinth]

yea i know and they are developing two game and dynamic server meshing was a bottleneck so they had to shift man power and it created the mess we are in today

[viral gulch]

Did they remove the bear at communion? Our servers has been missing for 5 hours now.

[glacial jacinth]

squadron 42

[rich geyser]

Squadron 42 is the single player game
Star Citizen is the MMORPG.

they share assets which makes it take less time than two completely separate games, but still much more than one game

[glacial jacinth]

this is why i say you cant compare star citizen development to ashes of creation. ashes is much more focused and smaller in scope

[simple oxide]

interesting, i stopped paying attention to SC when they started selling ships for $10,000 - $25,000 lol

[rich geyser]

also having an open alpha as early as they did was honestly a mistake. manpower into "stabilizing an alpha" => slowing things down

[rich geyser]

the funny thing about those whales is... you will be able to earn those ships in game without spending a single real world dollar above buying the base game (which used to be as low as $40 for BOTH games combined)

[glacial jacinth]

tbh people love the game how it is though. personally the game isnt my game until its an mmo but people like the alpha and will continue to poor in money cause they have a great time in it

[rich geyser]

the $25k pack is also a bunch of ships, almost every ship that was available when it was created. and apparently it was created at the request of some retired rich dude who wanted to throw money at them hah

[glacial jacinth]

yea actually insane 😂

[rich geyser]

also literally how Henry Cavill got into the cast. he's a huge gaming nerd, he got in contact with them and asked if he could play a character. naturally they were like "Absolutely!"

[edgy sandal]

found one of them fresh water deers

[dreamy sage]

"Snap Neck" would make for a cool tank finisher

[prime adder]

so its broken again? "waiting for async" on repeat...

[rich geyser]

it's mostly fixed. still repros occasionally. log out and then log into a different character. shoudl fix. then you can return to the one you're trying to get into right now

[fierce garnet]

i stubbed my toe 2026 is ruined all ready....

[bright niche]

Hey summoners and ppl who have pvped against summoners. How are they feeling mid/late game in pvp?

[simple summit]

It is important to maintain a positive attitude when pvping!

[jolly sleet]

bomfire is at peace again

Indeed

[acoustic chasm]

Happy new year!! ☀️

[tranquil nest]

Happy new years AOC gang

[final valley]

I believe that when a player wants to start PVP, they should be willing to lose their items as well.
I think the corruption penalty should start at that moment and not wait for someone to die for it to happen.
Many level 25 players are using this to kill those who are trying to level up, levels 13, 15, and 18.
It is practically impossible for a level 18 player to fight a level 25 player.
Please take a close look at this situation. I believe it will be a problem in the future.
Thank you.
@vague leaf @half pilot

[sweet lynx]

Nice army they have going there at the cookhouse and hide works near flame & formula emberspring

[slow mason]

don't flag up and they'll leave you alone

[rocky matrix]

Why are you pinging the Creative Director and Communications Director on New Year’s Eve for this ?

Feedback channel is probably better.

[floral mural]

gotta complain about the progressing system here, needs some work fr fr ppl will say find a guild blah blah blah most ppl are higher levels and doesnt want to level up a lower level man im level 16 and have been sitting at sb lfg for literrally and hour... wasnt gonna complain sure can be hard to find groups at times... but this was after leaving oak... not finding a group for an hour as a mage dps lvl 16 .. the progressing system is terrible you cant progress unless your lucky enough to get into a group man. i am in a guild so i have seen first hand that ppl do not want to go help a guy levels below them because it doesnt help them out in the moment. i think im done with the game after almost 300 hours played since steam launch i have experience this same crap since the launch.. i have 3 lvl 16 toons and have had this happen to me th whole time leveling them. please let this reach a dev and open their eyes up to this problem for a lot of players.

[plucky garnet]

If you're burnt out then take a break. Game will be here when you get back.

[dreamy sage]

I just got wrecked. Back to some AoC

[solemn moss]

yeah just make pvp more nonexistent than it already is good idea

30 minutes into 2026 and i'm already reading "remove pvp, pve only" posts in gen 😔

strafe who killed the mule bro

[dreamy sage]

That's what I just did. Played some Dragon's Dogma 2. I opened a chest and out popped a boss I was not ready for. I gave the ol college try but I got wrecked. So now back to Ashes lol

[shut gale]

They have already stated multiple times they are aware of how bad things can be for solo play and are focusing on working on it start of this year

[bright sonnet]

Ppl need to learn they can make a party instead of waiting for 1

[rich geyser]

where the heck does roughrime come from? got a novice recipe that requires both roughrime and ruby

[solemn moss]

anvils granite/basalt

[bright sonnet]

And sorry for telling u but if u have 3 characters like that u must start creating supports if u don't want to make parties u should play support

[shut gale]

Also no point just standing outside go grind things you can kill gather farm do something unless you don't have time to play properly

[rich geyser]

so this novice recipe literally requires items from both. cute.

[bright sonnet]

Pvp is the most fun part of the game and ppl wanna remove it xd they need to go back to Final Fantasy

[jolly sleet]

guild find would eb nice

[rich geyser]

i think they mean a flagged player attacking a non-flagged player. to which i can't really disagree. because flag baiting is nonsense and they should have to commit to the attack on non-combatant

[lapis hemlock]

those players could benefit from this https://discord.com/channels/256164085366915072/1456157390566068265

[solemn moss]

getting instant corruption for initiating pvp would kill the game in about 4 hrs

[native grail]

Just attking someone at a grind zone for example. If you kill their party a time or two to push them out, it shouldn't corrupt you. Stuff like this

[tired zenith]

whats the trick to launching a boat? just shows red placement when trying to place in harbor?

[rich geyser]

getting instant corruption for initiating pvp AGAINST NON COMBATANTS is appropriate. don't like it? don't pk non-combatants. go fight in lawless lands or other combatants

(But but but muh seal clubbing masquerading as pvp!!!!)

[vivid dragon]

#1418327801437884616

[native grail]

They just need to flesh out the system better so pvp can still be apart of the game.

[jolly sleet]

@vivid dragon enith nah emant to eb able to apply to ingame

[solemn moss]

it isn't appropriate at all seeing how the only open lawless area is a 5x5 box with no incentive, or open ocean (which costs 25g)..if zones had huge lawless areas i might agree

or implement a toggle combatant flag which stays on 24/7

[gaunt osprey]

The rotating pvp zone from last wipe seems to have disappeared

[native grail]

Remember when lawless zones would roll randomly? And level 25s would take over oak instead of people grinding that zone fighting each other? Ahhh, how fun

[gaunt osprey]

Rotated thru HH as well from memory

[solemn moss]

yeah that doesnt sound bad, but i still think open wpvp should be a thing for people who want it

[timber pulsar]

Pve monkeys killed dune awakening

Don’t let them kill this game too

[solemn moss]

mmos with no wpvp is super boring ngl. eso atleast had cyrodil

[native grail]

I like karma systems. In bdo you get 300k karma. If you attk someone much lower than you, you lose like 200-250k karma, but attk someone around your power and you'd lose like 40k. So you could initiate some pvp over grind spots without going red.

[gaunt osprey]

Till one of the 3 sides caved in and then went and stacked the already OP side - was fun while it lasted

[solemn moss]

cyrodil died after champion points anyway

[rich geyser]

so you're saying they need to implement some incentives to be flagged and the mechanism to stag flagged? sounds like a great idea.

seal clubbing is not pvp

[solemn moss]

no one is really seal clubbing now regardless outside of some groups cheesing corruption alts..and usually only against mules

the actual problem with corruption right now is blight

[sudden gale]

if we get too far corrupted do we get kicked out of society? sorta like archeage going pirate cause we need pirate island 😄

[solemn moss]

after 5 kills against anyone every kill after that is automatic corruption level 2 after any kill = ~6 gear pieces lost by default on death..no one is seal clubbing into corruption

[dreamy sage]

Yes except it's immediately corrupted I believe

[misty temple]

lots of consequences to high blight

[rich geyser]

they need to implement some consequences for picking up crates that don't belong to you (make you get flagged). also they need to take sanctions against accounts that delete characters routinely because they're throw away alts for targeting the mules (as other games sanction accounts for consequence-avoidance behaviors like that)

[solemn moss]

it's not high blight that's the issue, it's literally blight 5 and you're screwed

[misty temple]

well i guess i consider that high but yeah there isnt a way to reduce it meaningfully so fair

[sudden gale]

ah cool

[solemn moss]

there's also no way to remove blight atm..5 blight is only 5 kills

[misty temple]

also red pvp is horrendous

[solemn moss]

oh yeah the debuffs are insane and you basically die for free

[misty temple]

ALSO cc abilities dont work properly, targeting thru is a nightmare on players that aren't flagged, etc.

[native grail]

The stat dampening for being red actually is crazy high lol

[novel flume]

Happy New Yearrrrrrrrrr!

[sudden gale]

could make it 1 character per account? would fix that issue

[gaunt osprey]

5pm - catch up already

[rich geyser]

the entire point of red is to make PKing non flagged possible but highly penalized.

they need to make more places/reasons to be a valid combatant for longer, etc

[solemn moss]

no i mean corruption debuffs, hp, dmg, and speed loss is garbo..you cant even defend yourself while corrupt

[misty temple]

10pm its not new year yet for me

[native grail]

That's what stat dampening is

[solemn moss]

stat dampening is from xp debt, corruption has its own debuffs

[native grail]

You to focused on what the game calls stat dampening instead of what the term means

Anything that lowers your stats is dampening them

[edgy sandal]

Happy New years!

[solemn moss]

i'm not..stat dampening and debuffs are 2 separate things entirely.

[native grail]

Whatever, not gonna argue about clear English

[solemn moss]

i know what you mean but they're actually 2 mechanics

[wicked axle]

corruption needs to be stronger anyway

[solemn moss]

have you ever gotten corruption?

[native grail]

I wasnt talking about the mechanics, was simply saying you lose lots of stats when red.

[wicked axle]

you mean the thing where you just have your buddy kill you and give you your drops back and that's about it?

[solemn moss]

the system to abuse that is bad yeah, corruption itself is overtuned

[wicked axle]

not really, you just die once and it's over

[solemn moss]

under 5 blight, yeah

[native grail]

Super easy to kill corrupted people at least cuz they missing 1200 hp xD

[wicked axle]

uh, yeah. and nobody is going over 5 blight lmao

[solemn moss]

the debuffs while corrupted dont even allow you to fight back, and how many kills do you think 5 blight is

[native grail]

Gotta die once per corruption level.

[wicked axle]

i had a buddy who killed a bunch of bots and got to blight 5. so a lot.

[solemn moss]

it's 5 kills

[wicked axle]

seems like a good deal of ganking bro. you get to kill 5 people for basically free. or just kill one, get corruption removed, kill again, over and over.

[solemn moss]

1 kill = 1 blight

[solemn moss]

no blight is permanent, there's no way to lower it, 5 kills total on your character = 5 blight = ~7 gear pieces lost to remove corruption per kill

[pearl gust]

I swear mount bugs makes me crashout sometimes

[wicked axle]

7 pieces your friend just hands back to you

[native grail]

You can kill mobs to get rid of it tho

[solemn moss]

i just said the way to abuse that is broken..i'm talking about corruption itself brother

[wicked axle]

okay, corruption itself doesn't matter. what matters is how it works, and it needs some time based effect instead of what we have

[solemn moss]

0.02 reduction per mob kill, you can but it might take 8 hours with a 2.5 corruption level

by that time a player will run by and kill you so it's not worth the effort

[wicked axle]

so just have your friend kill you lol

[solemn moss]

because the system is broken, now imagine if you couldnt do that..literally no one would go corrupted

[wicked axle]

there's no way to stop it from happening

[solemn moss]

wat

[wicked axle]

? what confused you

[solemn moss]

cause they haven't changed the system lmao wdym

[wicked axle]

they can't stop a friend from killing a friend, obviously

[solemn moss]

https://i.imgur.com/IgI95oB.png

[barren valve]

happy new year!!!!!!

[wicked axle]

okay? and what if the game was finished tomorrow and we could all play a finished AoC? no point in imaginary stuff

[native grail]

Talking to a literal brick wall xD

[solemn moss]

im not saying it's a good thing to have like i dont get your point..i'm saying if you couldn't bypass corruption deaths then no one would really gank anyone

[wicked axle]

and I'm saying there's no point in "what if you couldn't bypass it" because there's no way to prevent a friend from killing and removing corruption without just completely changing how corruption works. like making it time based instead of death = all good G

[solemn moss]

cause corruption is overtuned and not worth it

[wicked axle]

corruption is not overtuned because a friend can just kill you and remove it for free though?

[solemn moss]

you gotta be trolling

[native grail]

He isn't trust

[wicked axle]

what are you not getting? corruption is not overtuned because it does not matter right now. how is something that has no real affect on you overtuned?

[solemn moss]

you're just confusing corruption itself and having friends kill you to remove it ig

[wicked axle]

uh, bro, that's part of the corruption system. they could make it to where level 1 corruption makes all of your gear drop. wouldn't matter because you can still just have a friend kill you

[timber pulsar]

Have you guys seen this? I'm in a Shobek video LOL

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrAeIYKMhAw

[solemn moss]

yes i get that i'm saying they should fix that

[wicked axle]

but they can't just make friends unable to kill each other, it's simply not possible. making the downside of corruption able to be cleansed with death makes it entirely pointless. should be something like stat dampening for days or longer, lock some gear on your character but disable it, something. karma system that prevents you from entering cities or you get killed by guards. stuff like that.

[native grail]

[quick yew]

How do these crates work ? Can I use them to transfert storage from node to node ?

[solemn moss]

to be honest what they should do is remove all the bs debuffs from being corrupted, fix blight and make it easier to remove on mobs, so you can go actually grind it off..and somehow fix it removing on death, dunno

[knotty elk]

Anyone else getting lag or rubber banding in game? I'm on Resna

[wicked axle]

corruption needs to be absurdly annoying and difficult to remove, otherwise it's not a deterent

[solemn moss]

yeah difficult not impossible 🤣

[wicked axle]

waiting time for something to fall off isn't impossible, it's punishing. what you just said is basically remove corruption entirely

[solemn moss]

it should be a time investment for sure, but not impossible as it is now because you basically lose 10 levels, move like a snail, and it takes 9 million mobs to remove

[native grail]

We need a better middle state as well. Pvp for grind spots should be a thing. But currently it's better to just never flag yourself and annoy the other poeple. Not much fun in that tbh

[wicked axle]

corruption hardly exists right now

[timber trench]

no it doesnt. it took me 10 minutes to remove my corruption solo by mob grinding

[jolly sleet]

is it wierd o only like playing mages in this game all other classes dont seem much fun

[solemn moss]

no dude i'm saying you should have to put in effort to kill mobs to remove it and invest time at the risk of being killed by anyone but not hindered by bullshit debuffs and 90 million mobs to kill

[wicked axle]

but you aren't right now. you just get killed by a friend lol. level one corruption should take at least 3 hours of constant grinding to remove imo

[solemn moss]

me when i lie lmao

[native grail]

It's directly related to xp gain btw

[timber trench]

i don't need you to believe me. i'm also not stupid and didn't have a shit ton of blight built up

[solemn moss]

holy hell no shit dude i'm talking as if they fix that part of it 🤣

[native grail]

More xp = faster removal

[fierce garnet]

the point of that 10 mins is to prevent you from stealing crates which is accomplished

[solemn moss]

i know you're lying since you dont even know how blight works

[timber trench]

this guy

[fierce garnet]

🍿

[solemn moss]

blight itself doesnt affect how fast mobs reduce corruption

[timber trench]

are you intentionally being dumb?

[solemn moss]

i've literally tried it twice with 2 blight killing mobs my level and it was a 0.02 reduction of corruption per kill..which level 50 mobs you grinding to remove it in 10 minutes?

[fierce garnet]

says with a batman voice**

[wicked axle]

They cant fix it, only remove gear/corruption being dropped on death

[grand pebble]

Happy New year !

[fierce garnet]

full loot pvp fight me

[timber trench]

dunno, maybe try not sucking and running around in initiate gear pking lowbies? you might be able to farm off corruption faster then

[solemn moss]

oh ok so yeah you're clueless, makes sense

[wicked axle]

Corruption is worthless. I have a friend who corrupts on this one guild every time he sees them. He just has his friend kill to remove corruption

[solemn moss]

i also got level 25 in 1 day farming just wolves, easy to lie randomly fs

[timber trench]

i was killing 2* scorpions. they removed 0.1 per kill

[wicked axle]

Stunbot is easily a teenager

[solemn moss]

atleast you posted some data

[dreamy sage]

GG 🤣

[timber trench]

bro what data do you need. its just xp debt

[solemn moss]

???

[timber trench]

i dunno how to make this easier for your stunlocked brain to understand. you clear corruption either by dying or getting xp

[solemn moss]

Guess it scales based on the mob xp itself which means being corrupted at a low lvl still takes 9 hours to farm it off

[timber trench]

if you can use your hands you can get xp very fast

[solemn moss]

If you're killing higher level mobs

[wicked axle]

Stunbot, do you think xp debt is hard to work off? Lmao

[brave talon]

Black sails guild just turned corrupted killing us, we did not hit back.

[solemn moss]

With 20% of your stats missing at your level, slow as hell, and can die from the first lvl 25 player to walk by yes

[timber trench]

what makes corruption difficult is initially getting away when you do get corrupted, and the fact that blight is permanent currently

[latent yarrow]

where do i find this bag recipe

[solemn moss]

right

[wicked axle]

Black Sails corrupts constantly because corruption is a non issue

[timber trench]

they gonna brick their characters

[simple summit]

It is important to maintain a positive attitudw when pvping!

[solemn moss]

being unable to remove blight makes it impossible to corrupt solo in a group its free fs

[wicked axle]

Okay? Don't get blight

[solemn moss]

You get +1 permanent blight on every kill you can't avoid it

[wicked axle]

Where can I check my blight amount then?

[timber trench]

system is shit. i've gotten corrupted by defending newbs that don't understand pvp flags. get pulled into a fight and a mount dies gg

[solemn moss]

Misc stats

After 5 blight every kill you get after that gives you a corruption lvl 2 per kill on any level player - 2 deaths and 2 debts to remove it

I assume blight 10 is lvl 3 etc or maybe its exponential idk

[wicked axle]

Anyone have the data on what each stack of blight does to your character

[solemn moss]

yeah killing mounts is cooked you can get corrupted by killing combatant flagged mounts currently

[rough pier]

Yeah that is messed up I did not like that at all

[misty temple]

does anyone know what causes health potions to just not works ometimes? maybe jumping?

[solemn moss]

Atleast you don't get blight for killing mounts but yeah gg gear

[rough pier]

Some mobs have debuff that keeps you from healing

[timber trench]

entire pvp system is a convoluted mess. it does nothing to deter actual griefing and instead promotes it while pushing away people who do want to pvp because of all the bugs/exploits. this shit can't get changed fast enough

[wicked axle]

Like tanks getting randomly flagged, and the pvp settings not working properly, and mounts corrupting

[rich geyser]

speaking of griefers - the entire POLAR destruction of Resna is a big one

[solemn moss]

if someone attacks me while i'm corrupted do they flag purple - forgot

[wicked axle]

anyone have any information on the destruction of Resna? i don't understand what happened lol

[sweet lynx]

yes it sucks, all you need to do is flag up on a group grinding and they AOE the mobs and get flagged then your group rolls them.

Level 25's are doing this to low levels, groups i've been in have done this also to lower levels trying to grind.

[distant sapphire]

Keep these checked and it wont happen

[solemn moss]

all they gotta do is drop their mounts, there's a bug if you kill combatant mount you get corrupted anyway

not sure if it's 100% of the time but it happens

[distant sapphire]

oh thats new for me so if they off their mount i get flagged?

[rough pier]

I like the fact that corrupted players can drop bound items that they got from quests

[vernal sundial]

Currently I don't have any selections in keybinds that turn left, turn right. There's (straffe) Move left and move right though. I use my mouse so not a big deal but I think something has changed.

[solemn moss]

on their mount too it doesnt matter just don't kill mounts at all just to be safe😂

[timber trench]

bro this game needs a visio flowchart for pvp flagging and corruption rules

[lilac gulch]

it's actually supposed to be check, check, unchecked

[vapid dust]

Let's talk real a moment. AoC has never had an equitable and effective PvP system. Every iteration has included loopholes to the advantage of PKers. It has never been solved in this chat. It will not be solved tonight.

[solemn moss]

just for healers i think

if you have it unchecked, and you hit a combatant player with damage aoe, you'll flag i think

[lilac gulch]

nupe, applies to anyone with an aoe. read that it says untargeted

[solemn moss]

yeah but if you accidentally target them youll flag, my bad

that also includes melee auto attacks i'm pretty sure..it's safer to check all 3, then toggle force flag off

[distant sapphire]

If ur flagged that setting should be null and void, once flagged that person should be able to aoe anyone

[timber trench]

yes, but it becomes so difficult to help someone with those settings

[solemn moss]

right it's just to prevent flagging against combatants if you're unflagged

[lilac gulch]

no the uncheck denotes that, for example, if i flag up, that means that when i am attacking another flagged player, i wont aoe their mount for example

[vapid dust]

As a healer, I just tell folks straight up: If you flag up, I won't heal you.

[lilac gulch]

so i keep that setting off. unless i want to raze everyone in my vicinity

[timber trench]

i don't disagree, but i can't count how many times some dumbass rogue loots a body and then flags the bards

[solemn moss]

oh i see

i wonder if that also applies to melee auto attacks? if i'm autoing someone on a mount, the mount wont get hit?

[lilac gulch]

Yes, it's supposed to apply there too. now whether it works all of the time... ahahah. nope. pvp settings are notorious for being buggy.

[solemn moss]

dam good comms

guess ill test it

[bitter radish]

Just the boys fishing.

[lilac gulch]

darthcookie... join the cookieside, they have darkness.

[solemn moss]

nope, still hits the mount 🤣

[lilac gulch]

damit intrepid.

[solemn moss]

not sure if it applies to abilities or not, probably just abilities

[lilac gulch]

i swear, if they can iron out targetting to do what they say they want it to do, things will be a lot smoother after that.

[boreal widget]

Happy New Years From Greenland 🇬🇱

[vapid dust]

Like I said. pvp has always been dysfunctional. At least as long as alpha 2 has been running. You'd think they'd prioritize a functional system for better or worse, given how much pervasive emotional investment it causes. But... nope.

[solemn moss]

i thought "include untargeted combatants" referred to "include require force pvp" but with aoe

[lilac gulch]

although, now that i engage my peepers once again, it does say "abilities" on it... maybe they changed what they wanted to do with certain weapons? hmm. my info is outdated. all these dev streams...

[dreamy sage]

https://tenor.com/view/happy-new-year-new-years-eve-futurama-philip-jay-fry-foreworks-gif-15891670

[solemn moss]

guess ill leave it off anyway but yeah, auto attack cleaving mount with player seems to still kill the mount

[misty temple]

anyone know where to buy apprentice rations? i got some and dont have nay clue how

[glass niche]

Hey @half pilot the NPC ‘Sunfire Asim Aslam’ is missing and it’s bottlenecking a lot of people from doing tutorial

[fierce garnet]

Anyone playing with a 5080 on 4k and what is the average fps?

[eternal flume]

Yup, about 90-100 with FG. I have lighting turned down to medium

[fierce garnet]

thats bad lol, my 4070 ti hits 75 on all high :/

[eternal flume]

Loading into Joeva or Mira gets me at about 40 for a few minutes until everything loads

[jolly sleet]

I feel male models need more of a bulge....

[eternal flume]

I mean, everything else is on ultra or high depending on my mood

[serene dagger]

I'm late on the video but I'm tired of people trying to scam mules and station upgrade mats https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3P5l4hIb3Rg

[fierce garnet]

i guess i wait for the 6000 series, because the 5090 cost nearly 4000 euro here

[eternal flume]

I have lighting turned down specifically due to the flashbang effect that was taking place the last couple of patches. Didn't experience it with lighting set to medium

If you are thinking about upgrading your graphics card for this game specifically, I'd wait until we get past the alpha. Although the optimization has come a long way since Phase 1, it still isn't great

[solemn moss]

is there any way to transfer a crate through guild storage

[fierce garnet]

ye, i will wait, the prices for pc parts are getting out of control the last month

[sweet lynx]

people are trying to scam in all areas of the game, it is pretty normal, many gamers have 💩 personalities who always do this in games

[eternal flume]

...but that 20% increase of sPeEd

[rustic herald]

Where is the best place for a lvl 11 cleric to level up?

[cosmic fossil]

kite bears in HH

Highwaymen Hills

[limber condor]

Shol Joeva crash?

[split bluff]

always shol

[surreal bison]

Think it's a DDOS attack

[tall bridge]

yup

[surreal bison]

Saw a quick image with BOTA

[full apex]

I just got that too...

[cosmic fossil]

probably not a DDOS, it's mayor voting day so settlements will be extra crowded

[surreal bison]

But you can vote from Settlement window with N

[clever cobalt]

Its been crowded for far too long. Its time to siege Joeva! Take it out !

[past valley]

Polar is about to solve Resnas Joeva problem

[cosmic fossil]

right, maybe someone payed a bunch of people to move to joeva to vote for them? I don't understand politics

[dire obsidian]

Resna is about to solve the polar problem with a heater.

[pearl gust]

[fierce garnet]

could be this for converting to binary coding but its a long shot i give up mystery lives on

anyone on resna wanna play i think im level 5 or 6 cleric?

[fierce garnet]

try LFG chat in game likely will have better luck or maybe #alpha-two-resna-us

Has anyone gotten there mount skin from hitting 25 yet?

[final barn]

is there anyone online playing?

[upper arch]

QUESTION If i carry two mounts do they both go on cooldown if one dies

[final barn]

No mate just the one that dies

Im not sure if anyone is online at the moment, everyone i know who plays cant get passed the char selection window the last 3 days

[deft vigil]

try a game file integrity check

[vague sluice]

they dont.
that's why its interesting to have 3-4 mounts in bags when you travel in dangerous areas

[final barn]

ohh dude, ive tried everything you can humanly think of lol

[still river]

I haven't had a single issue logging in this entire phase.

[summer phoenix]

How to craft this? I see this in Artisan info, but can't find at Farming table. Do I need higher level table in a town? Or recipe?

[final barn]

ahhh so it isnt global, there are players who are able to log in

[still river]

I'm on resna. 0 issues this entire phase, been logging into 2 or 3 characters daily.

[deft vigil]

are they logged out in a super busy area?

[final barn]

I've tried different realms, different starting areas, noticed alot of people having the same issue, its only recently though like the last 3 days, ive never had this issue before

im back in work saturday i have a gaming laptop at work i farm on lol ill see if i can get online with different device

[still river]

Have you tried logging in to another server? Tried using a vpn? Made sure it's not a firewall issue with a recent windows update?

[final barn]

ive been following the bug issues tab here on discord and following steps for diagnostics but everything i have tried still the same issue, ran out of ideas mate alot of us have thrown in the towel

but yeh Seetsuma ive tried all of that mate

its like the game works perfect, the moment i select the character to enter the world, game becomes non responsive

[tired glen]

Is Jundark Essence in the game? Has anyone seen it drop?

[still river]

I'd have to log in and double check, but I'm 99% sure I have some

[tired glen]

I've killed hundreds of mobs in Jundark and I haven't seen a single drop.

[tiny tusk]

yes it is in the game but funnily i got most of my jundark essence from mobs outside of jundark

[solemn moss]

https://i.imgur.com/iHhNR8i.png this never stacks to 2, because every deadly finisher consumes it lol

[still river]

I'm pretty sure I got my jundark essence from tropics iirc.

[vague sluice]

it is in the game, you just have to kill mobs in jundark regions

[vague sluice]

kill mobs in the dark jungle regions (south west of the map)

[tired glen]

I've done that a great deal and haven't seen any. It's listed as a 'common' item as well.

[topaz torrent]

Guaranteed in. Got 4 last night and had 13 in my bank before I logged off for the night.

[tired glen]

Can you tell me which mobs specifically you got them from?

guys what if u die in ur ship is still in the middle of sea, is it lost forrever?

[untold matrix]

depends. your ship is probably still there but people can break it. if they break it its destroyed. you can try to go back to it and see if its still there

[solemn moss]

players dont flag combatant vs corrupt players? lol

so if you go corrupted and players attack you you cant even defend yourself without gaining more corruption levels? LOL

[worthy grove]

It's January now, where is the roadmap at?

no thats been a thing lol

QUESTION: Whats the difference between a beast of burdon and everything else

[undone dawn]

This is abysmally funny to me considering you need to have level 20 tanning and XP is giga useless right now xD

[upper charm]

why is the water tied to global illumination? for example you turn global illumination to low, water goes poof. medium and up the water is there

[vague sluice]

but its EPIC ! 😂

[stone laurel]

im more mad that my "exclusive skin'' that i bought 3ish years ago could just be bought ingame....

[untold matrix]

What is everything else?

In animal husbandry when you're processing say a pallas cat/protector pride lion/ - you have a 50/50 of getting 2 things: a mount you can ride or a Beast of Burden - an animal that you equip to the front of a caravan that pulls the caravan. Some are faster/tankier than others. Some don't have the 50/50 gamble ( shoalskippers ) and you just get the mount

[upper arch]

Do ridiing mounts say something different>

[deft elbow]

Have a dev responded to the top Reddit post on the ashes subreddit yet? Literally a beyond critical game ruining exploit that’s been abused for multiple phases apparently

[untold matrix]

yes, the icon in your inventory looks different ( it shows the whole body vs just the face ) and mounts show "ground speed" and BoB's show something completely different like speed and health or something

[strong reef]

guys is this gathering salad bugged or no

[upper arch]

Thank u i noticed beast of burden in materials not itemffs too

[cyan flame]

Do you get the apprentice bag recipes for tailoring out at a vendor or from mob drops?

[harsh basin]

Clerics, when you guys are grpd up grinding, should I put bless on tank for the mana regen?

[civic jolt]

yeah while level cap is like this and no skill tree atleast

[livid oasis]

bro why is this game so CPU bound? When I try other games that are a lot simpler, like almost cartoon graphics, my GPU is utilized at 90+% even though it's simple graphics

[civic jolt]

no optimsation atm

[livid oasis]

I can't even play the game. It crashes after trying to connecting to a server

[vague sluice]

we need john carmack to help with the optimization

[civic jolt]

tis very ram/cpu heavy atm

not much point ooptimising system when there not locked in stone yet so it can be rough till close to beta

[livid oasis]

I mean what kinda monster CPU do you need to run this game?

[fresh orbit]

lower some settings some of them dont make a big difference

[livid oasis]

they are at the lowest...

[civic jolt]

sits at 60-75% along with ram

[bold temple]

they ought to do something to make tank more fun to play, there is such a desperate lack of them, despite them only being 1/8, not 1/5 like in wow.

[civic jolt]

class reworks happening next major patch probaly feb/march

[livid oasis]

I've AMD Ryzen 5 5600x 6 core

[fresh orbit]

beg steve for optimisation ig

[civic jolt]

shrugs i dont have an issue with the 3600 i know graphic card driver fixed issues a month or 2 back, one of the patches made the game stuttery till i updated graphics card drivers to latest

[livid oasis]

so how come your CPU that's less powerful than mine runs the game lol

[timber pulsar]

Yeah my performance been pretty great, but I have pretty high end stuff

[civic jolt]

got memory? game seem to take 24 gig of my memory constantly

[livid oasis]

steam requirements are lying then cuz they say 16GB ram

[civic jolt]

medium setting tend to run better too than low

[tiny tusk]

where the HELL are the 20+ mobs in anvil

[civic jolt]

i dont think there many most of them are close to tropic boarder

[livid oasis]

that makes no sense

[fresh orbit]

no it does because it utilizes more of your specs

[civic jolt]

it does to a degree no optimisation and everything they do is based on medium setting atm so low and high are not realy been optimised for

[livid oasis]

if the game was more optimized it would still utilize the GPU even if the settings are low

[civic jolt]

A game uses more CPU than GPU when it requires intense calculations for logic, AI, physics, and asset management, rather than just rendering pixels, often seen in strategy or simulation games, or when playing at lower resolutions or with background tasks taxing the CPU, creating a CPU bottleneck that limits the GPU. Games with many NPCs, complex pathfinding, or intricate world systems push the CPU, making it the limiting factor, even with a powerful graphics card.

apprently this is why a game might be more CPU heavy than GPU

[livid oasis]

yes but terrain rendering is all GPU

[civic jolt]

terrains kinda meh atm tbh alpha 1 looked better graphicly tbh

[livid oasis]

the advantage of GPU is that you can run many more mini tasks at the same time than a CPU can

[novel bobcat]

Servers down?

[timber basalt]

@devs the update last time broke somthing on the game i cant stop crashing!! and the verify files did not work!!

anyone else suddenly get disconected?

waaaaa

[harsh basin]

Cleric bros, who am I putting Bless on when grinding in a grp?

[vague sluice]

you can melee 1H + focus and wand 1H + focus

[naive wedge]

Who ever is having a bigger mana problem. You can put it on the Tank to help with threat if you have good mana regen or bard giving mana.

[harsh basin]

But if I want mana, keep it on me?

[naive wedge]

yep, with your range attacks get mana back

[rigid zephyr]

Idk if anyone else saw this but on my Reddit page a thing came up of someone saying a guild called POLAR got rid of all the crafting tables in anvil cause they got all the settlements before anyone else could in the Resna server

[pliant prism]

I read that last night too.

[rigid zephyr]

Seems like something should happen to POLAR if they keep doing this and if they banned a mayor shouldn’t the same apply here? I mean you made it near impossible to play in that region

I mean sure the guild if there truly are hundreds can form 20 people teams and attack 1 target at a time or something but idk still ganna be casualties if they aren’t fast enough

[wind sun]

I'm really enjoying this game as a casual gamer I don't mind the grind, it feels rewarding when you finally finish the grind you set out to do.

I just hope it doesn't turn into wow or other games were you have to constantly be on 24/7 in order to keep up

[rigid zephyr]

Ya but they can’t grind. They can’t defeat any of the enemies their level since they are under geared they were relying on their tailor and armor smith to make weapons for their guild. But without crafting benches……

Atleast that’s how I read it

[blissful mist]

So how did we get to max lvl without any crafted gear

[barren galleon]

killing mobs

[rigid zephyr]

How many hour you put in per day?

[blissful mist]

It doesnt change the answer

[rigid zephyr]

I see no job then. Well people with a job can’t spend all day on the game

[timber pulsar]

Polar are known exploiters and abusers, done it in multiple phases. But no bans yet lol

[blissful mist]

So you think the gear that rquires u 500 zinc for 1 piece you can craft it in 1 day?

[pliant prism]

Yeah, not sure why Steven allows them to continue this way. They were miserable in past phases.

[bold temple]

does anything hapopen if i heal a corrupted person? can corruption spread?

[blissful mist]

Noobs will always call the players that gap them exploiters

[rigid zephyr]

No but for people with jobs it is easier. You can set it to craft and be done with it.

[barren galleon]

why ban the people that expose all the exploits to you so you can fix them

[timber pulsar]

exposing exploits is one thing, abusing them after being found is another

[blissful mist]

No need for clown emojis no one will get banned cuz we dont exploit

[rigid zephyr]

I figured you were polar

[blissful mist]

Just massive knowledge gap

[barren galleon]

its alpha

[pliant prism]

ilp, plenty of us have jobs and cannot play all day. I just do my thing, I am not all the way leveled up, I do not have good gear, but I play and have fun with other really good people who also play when they can. I have been in AoC for over a year now. Its still fun despite the zerg guilds that want to kill the game.

[barren galleon]

this is a testing phase its not the final game

[blissful mist]

Idk why u even say u cant craft gear. The stations that polar had didnt make any gear

[barren galleon]

when the final release happens and these exploits still exist then you can complain

[jolly raptor]

despite the zerg guilds that want to kill the game.
what an unhinged sentence 👁️ 👄 👁️

[harsh basin]

For pug grinding parties, whats the culture on loot rule setup?

[pliant prism]

Greed unless you absolutely, definitely NEED something, then and only then Need.

[timber pulsar]

Only need on stuff you are going to equip

[timber basalt]

i verify files and update my drivers its working now!!

[harsh basin]

I get that, I mean I am in grps and they change all the loot "rules"

[rigid zephyr]

Ya but how much of your armor was crafted so that you could get that little bit of an edges. I’m sure you crafted atleast 1 peices. Yes it may not be needed for some but others don’t have the time or want to grind in 1 area for a week just to progress when some crafted armor would work just as well

[elder prawn]

hot take- there should be thunderstruck trees that are guaranteed heroic logs

[jolly raptor]

put need or greed rules on everything, if somebody needs on stuff they don't actually need just kick them

[timber pulsar]

Usually its to make it so that you dont have to roll on white items, they just get looted to whoever loots that body. But its not always good because a lot of gear is white as well

[blissful mist]

Have you looked at materials required to craft ur armor?

[timber pulsar]

So its up to you, I like rolling on whites so you dont skip rolling on gear

[pliant prism]

I have a couple crafted jewelry pieces that were given to me by another player. The rest are just common drops. I am a squishy marshmellow. I cannot stand up to the PKers. I totally understand the frustration of the Reddit poster. I have also played in the same realm as Polar before so I know how they are.

[rigid zephyr]

I’m not appart of that guild. I barely play and I don’t play on Resna. And if you say the tables you got rid of doesn’t make armor why get rid of them? Also it doesn’t matter how much mats they need. If you have 50 people searching for mats it’s ganna be faster than the weeks needed to level.

[timber pulsar]

When there are over 10,000 messages about that guild in this discord alone, and none of them positive. That should say something lol

[fallow pebble]

Are crates bugged? I packed up some common mats last night and this morning when I go to unpack them they are empty.

[blissful mist]

With this message u sent i can tell you have no clue how the game works

[rigid zephyr]

Agreed

[livid oasis]

do all crates cost glint?

[bold temple]

you can get some beginner ones that ghive 24s reward, at starter crafting areas

[livid oasis]

like Avens end?

[bold temple]

ye

[livid oasis]

Rip all my stuff is in Joeva

[bold temple]

joeva is next door, great place to have your stuff as a beginner

[rapid surge]

:( fishing exploit getting out of control, it's existing too long

[jagged dirge]

What exploit

[rapid surge]

not sharing it on the discord but it's getting really annoying that it's not fixed

[open ice]

Share it and it'd get fixed faster /shrug

[rapid surge]

it's shared with hector and steven

[serene zephyr]

it's already in #1365478519441719377 , basically ti prints money and fucks up the economy a lot, I won't go into detail but do know people got reset over it already (but it's not fixing the economy)

[open ice]

Economy is already messed from mules, Mules broke everything.

[rapid surge]

fishing is over 3x mule money, close to 5x I think (and that's counting the 120% speed mule)

[serene zephyr]

fishing with the glitch is ~60 gold per hour

[rapid surge]

yeah sounds about right

[glad lichen]

have anyone kown why i have study recipe:corrupted chili flakes and recipe:ironclad spicy sausage roll and recipe:tanner's jerky sticks..2 hour later when i want cook them ,it say i haven't study the recipe.

[barren galleon]

so camp the harpor areas and kill people with fish

[open ice]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[barren galleon]

every issue can be fixed with some pvp

[rapid surge]

Kill the people who casually buy every item like this for 300g

[serene zephyr]

it's been public knowledge for most of the fishing community since 13th of december

[naive wedge]

Cookhouse high enough level?

[open ice]

Got enough crit?

[harsh basin]

how the hell do ppl have even 50g

[rapid surge]

60g/hour with exploit
that bow is 5 hours fishing

[cinder stone]

😭

[rapid surge]

and if you refuse to join the exploiting then you're insanely behind

[glad lichen]

@naive wedge yeah ,The current problem is that when I open P, it shows that I haven't learned the formula.

[open ice]

Stop logging out in miraleth or joeva NOOB

[harsh basin]

ah, didn't see there was an exploit. Aren't bans and stuff not uncommon if you exploit in ashes?

[rapid surge]

ban the broken economy that's being fed thousands of gold an hour from exploiters

[naive wedge]

Might have to log, if not that /bug

[cinder stone]

game DC im not log out

[open ice]

I think they should fix bug then wipe servers then if its printing money like that, Vhal to Halcyon every hour is like 12G

[rapid surge]

We could've avoided this if it got fixed as soon as people reported it, now I am getting wipe in 6 weeks vibes

[glad lichen]

relog twice , but it dont work

[serene zephyr]

even if only a handful of people exploit, the economy gets fucked a lot, prices inflate and most players will get that exploited gold from marketplace/trading

[rapid surge]

great, gonna be my 6th wipe in a year, I can't wait for it

[open ice]

Maybe this time they don't start people in Anvil XD

Desert way better start zone

[blissful mist]

You can sense when there is dupe or exploit when gold prices drop from 3$ to 50 cents

[serene zephyr]

Fax

[rapid surge]

it's fine, it's an alpha, we're here to test these things. it's just a shame when they were known and reported in time to save the wipe

[barren galleon]

it will be the first wipe of the year

[open ice]

I still remember when on launch it was like 11$ per gold lmao

[serene zephyr]

• to cut them some slack, it's in the middle of the most holiday heavy time of year

[blissful mist]

Thats because u cant print money on start

[open ice]

To be honest though, They shouldn't of opened stuff over xmas

Every company does it, Awful time to do stuff.

[rapid surge]

I can't have much pity if you decide to release your game on steam and then go on holidays for 2 weeks, that's your decision

[dusky bison]

hmu ashes women

[blissful mist]

The main point of this launch was harbinger and sport fishing both of which dont work correctly rn

[rapid surge]

yep

[flint sage]

haha glad to see you still use em :p

[barren galleon]

the main point of this launch is to get people hooked on the game and also have some testing done

[naive wedge]

The only other thing I can think of if you tried using the recipes in town after looking in the storage, the lag will put them into the storage again when you go to use them. Happens with scrolls before I start a craft. annoying.

[open ice]

Boat inventories dont work, Caravans cant be modified, Lotta items for settle build are not in-game, Sport fishing dont work, Harbinger nobody is running it enmasse it's being gatekept, Mules ruined economy so caravans are rare, Aquatic mounts meme Ships so nobody use ships.

[rapid surge]

the main point of this launch was grabbing money for the project, there is no other reason to rush it ontop steam before christmas

[lapis vault]

i enjoy having a relaxed attitude to this

[flint sage]

Did pelune just die?

[rapid surge]

It's all cool until you get oneshot in pvp by people exploiting to get infinite money. Then the entire pvp component of the game is gone and what's left is press F on tree and run pack from A to B

[flint sage]

Whats even the problem?

[open ice]

Archers are overtuned atm, So are rogues.

The PvP is a joke atm

[flint sage]

Archers overtuned? WHAT XD

[rapid surge]

Almost like the people who said ttk is way too fast and gear overtuned were right when we did PTR testing

[serene zephyr]

rogues deserve to be OP in PVP since they suck massive sweaty balls in PvE

[open ice]

By that logic Summoner should be Rank 1 pvp

[flint sage]

Dont want to die in 1 hit? play tank. problem solved

[serene garnet]

Idk those backstabs in pve seem OP

[serene zephyr]

Summoner is just the new class and not balanced at all (in a bad way)

[barren galleon]

be ranger

[open ice]

The people saying rogue ain't strong haven't played summoner or cleric.

Rogue is busted, Ranger is busted.

Both can kill you before you get time to react.

[serene zephyr]

also bard with shortbow in PvP that shit is busted

[barren galleon]

rogue and ranger are dps class

[ivory parrot]

weeee async loading back for anyone else?

[open ice]

Wasn't last ASYNC from epic server going down?

[bold temple]

can we make a color-change
BLUE = party
GREEN = Guild
YELLOW = citizen
?

[glad lichen]

@naive wedge At that time, I got the recipe from a friend at Joeva's door and started to study it. Then I went to City M. When I arrived in City M, the recipe was still there because I was calculating the materials needed and kept looking at it. When I returned to Joeva, I encountered a server crash. I suspected that this was the problem that occurred at that time, although at that time I didn't pay much attention because I'm in a hurry to prepare the food.

[grim egret]

you can change that in the settings to whatever you want

[static merlin]

Thank you Steven and all dew team for provided us with wonderful time in holidays i wish you all god health lot of progress in development next year much happiness and cool ideas Happy new year Intrepid

[bold temple]

sure, but default. it's nice for there to be a sensible default for when we loot at streams and videos too

[glad lichen]

It took my friend two days to prepare this food recipe. so bad, That food can Increase the upper hp limit 3700

[cosmic sky]

So peopel reported fish exploit 2 weeks ago and nothing been done, and now yesterday some guy explained it everyone. Sad i thoguth Steam release woudl change reaction time for such big exploits

[slim zinc]

Sht game

Archeage was way better

This game is nothing like it

[serene zephyr]

i reported the bug since 13th of december

[cosmic sky]

yes and it was surprise for me that steam release didnt change reaction time on such bugs

[ashen summit]

you can change it in options

[glad lichen]

So did Smith go on vacation?

[slim zinc]

This game is @stevens new grift

[serene zephyr]

sport fishing came out on the 11th... and game was barely playable on 11th and 12th

[slim zinc]

You’re all getting scammed

[empty geyser]

wah

[timber pulsar]

Youve been here a year and a half, tf you doing lol

[river pebble]

do you have to renounce citizen before going to a new one

[timber pulsar]

yes

[cosmic sky]

this is so sad tbh, i was happy that we got 63% positive on steam, but after this become known to all gamers we are fuked.

[civic jolt]

wtb ability to chainpull and knock back afk macro farming bots out of camps -.-

[timber pulsar]

people expecting major updates during christmas are crazy lol

[barren galleon]

used a anvilhorn ram

[civic jolt]

dont even think there back at the office yet

[empty geyser]

used to be able to flag up and use CC on other players, but it became too controversial when contesting gathering nodes

[timber pulsar]

they arent, not until monday

[civic jolt]

gonna hit him and see if he hit me back and goes purple :p

[cosmic sky]

well maybe wait with such big thing as steam release until holidays are ended? because this shit should be monitored closely on start to prevent SUCH cases

[bold temple]

some snow on these mountains would probably make the horizon look a lot better

[civic jolt]

bot dead he went purple tabbing to me :p

[coarse hull]

You acting like this game fully released

[humble scarab]

This is some fine craftmanship

[fickle ermine]

which wep would u go for as mage

[tiny tusk]

anyone stutter everytime u get on and off ur mount?

[coarse hull]

Focus + weapon personally but the difference is so small it doesnt really matter

[lost scaffold]

question about phys speed, is that just skill speed or attack speed as well?

[spring plinth]

Attack speed as well

[lost scaffold]

thats awesome

[spring plinth]

Big for tank with sword/board and a phys book. Volatile for mages goes brrrrrt.

[fickle ermine]

so basically either or? but the sword has like mage speed and stuff idk

[lost scaffold]

I run solo with a fighter, so the speed helps me proct all my sustain. its been working well so far, that and some bread to boost my health.

[serene zephyr]

Tbh with these amount of exploits, cheaters, bots and issues at this moment my will to play is gone

[fickle ermine]

what cheats are they using? i didnt see anything like that

[elder prawn]

when i want to do something always have to be at hte will of other players... bots holding e on spawns, signficantly higher levels holding spots man.. so boring

[young brook]

And what type of botting do u see?

[serene zephyr]

speed/fly/teleport

[serene zephyr]

Fishing, farming where high level characters stand afk and spawn 2-3 abilities non-stop in lower level areas on a timer, more advanced cheats for gathering/hunting that i've seen online, and quite a few more

[fickle ermine]

hot take its good that the bots are here so they can get banned and buy new accs and fund our game

[spring plinth]

Havent seen speed/teleport but the flying is a bug. Happened to me a couple weeks ago. Ran off a mountain and never fell - can’t get down without relogging.

[young brook]

Afk fishing is a feature tho, not an exploit. I sometimes watch netflix while afk fishing haha

[serene zephyr]

you get kicked after 30 mins of afk time, plus these bots go sell fish to vendor on a timer + repair rod

[serene zephyr]

i saw only one speed hacker, i assume it's harder to bypass or they get banned fast, but if you stealth camp distant harbors, there's a shit ton of lvl 10-12 accounts just teleporting in with fish

[trail raptor]

Thought I was far enough away from Joeva town, obviously not 🙁 Went to reload character coz skills were bugged.

[timber pulsar]

Ive been fishing for ~8 hours a day for 2-3 days now haha

[vague sluice]

The night is dark and full of terrors

[fickle ermine]

is it good money? is it worth it

[cinder frigate]

i want mouse scroll up and down keybinds so bad

[timber pulsar]

Mainly just doing it as afk level while I do stuff around the house or do work. All my quality fish still in bank

Ill probably just cook them for exp though haha

[young brook]

Are you sure they do it on a timer? I mean if my char logs out after 30 mins of no movement i just move my mouse, hit my inv tab or recast the rod and the timer resets. And when i have full inv of fish or a broken rod ofc i go to repair

[frail urchin]

question, my i just watched my boat despawn, docked, jumped out, boat disappeared. anyone else have this happen?

[boreal widget]

Lol i said i give a flairunner in trade chat for new years without push more the troll

oof only 40min ago.

Probably locked out from playing that character for rest of day now. 😭 😭 😭

Yep que not going down

[muted jolt]

Guys, how exactly do the crafting milestones work in this game? For example, from rare to heroic the qualities are 16 to 31, right? But if I craft a 31.9 item, is it still rare? Does heroic only start at 32 and above?

[empty geyser]

It rounds down. 31.9 = 31

[outer relic]

i've glitched into the wall in HoJ... I want out without dying... help meee

I need help, I'm a level 8 tank here. Does anyone have a good guide or build for a leveling tank? I'm mainly concerned about skills, which ones should I take at which level?

[gloomy lodge]

Not much out there besides YouTube, maybe metabattle or something

[sharp cloak]

Theres no wrong choices to be honest, it depends what tools you want. I'd recommend improved Grit for the magic resistance and the single target bellowing roar for the trip

[tawny harness]

i have party to play with, my maim focus is to hold aggro/threat on mobs

[sharp cloak]

That is the tank's purpose, you'll likely want a few AoE skills that applies threat to tank groups. I have the shield bash as single target and pulverise or whatever the sword attack one is as AoE

[tawny harness]

can i PM you?

[sharp cloak]

Certainly can, be glad to help

[cedar grail]

How am I suppose to breed horses if they are all female? (this is satire)

[raw arrow]

life finds a way

[trail raptor]

As tank in a group when pulling mob packs ALWAYS USE INTIMIDATING AURA. Is massive threat generation based on your health. You can pretty much get away with not running any other taunt aslong as you have that AOE taunt.

It literally means more health = more threat/agro. It stacks really well with your abilities/skills that give more hp.

Also means all enemies will jump on you at same times so you better have your defenses up and ready to go on courage and heals if u need to. Good news is all the mobs will move to your location.

If you line of sight behind a wall or pillar you can even drag the ranged mobs towards you. Now your group can AOE nuke the pack down ez.

[dreamy sage]

Move to California then it can be whatever

[sharp cloak]

I'd caution about thinking aura is the only thing you'd need, in parties people will often nuke individual targets so throwing out high threat AoE will be heavily needed

[trail raptor]

I really hope they fix nak nak spawn soon. Been broken for aaaggggessss.

[spring plinth]

HAIL NAK NAK

[tawny harness]

which one is AOE taunt?
"Taunt" skill is single target ithink

[trail raptor]

And cause your HP will be higher than everyone elses since you are tank the agro is nuts. More HP more agro.

[spring plinth]

Constant stagger is also great for your group’s combos

[sharp cloak]

Most skills that allow you to choose give you a single target or area effect. Press T over the skills to read the tooltips

[tawny harness]

why on yours cost is 67 mana and on mine is less?

[trail raptor]

As tank you also want to use your kick ability to knockdown/interrupt large attacks for group. Anything that trips/knockdowns shud be good. Some elites are harder to CC or intterupt which is where disable power comes in as tank I think.

One example is an ability an enemy has called I think Plague Breath, if you don't interrupt it and allies are right next to boss, they all insta die as DPS. 😄

[trail raptor]

Probably level difference. Also I pulled that of the skillbook and have not actually got that skill selected at the moment, im on my solo build.

[tawny harness]

so taking this one is pointless?

[trail raptor]

No that one is a must for when attacking elites and bosses for your group. It means they do less damage to entire group if you hover over humilated it will tell you. Press T to lock windows when hovering over them. It is also good for when your AOE taunt is down and some trigger happy DPS running away needs you to pull one single mob off them. Is a single target taunt.

can i play the ashes without steam?

[spring plinth]

It’s the only ability that will pull aggro for one mob in a group.

If you have 5 dudes hugging a boss, it’s the safest way to grab the boss without also pulling the 5 dudes.

just more stuff in general. the chance of it being copper or basalt is still the same probably

anything I can do about long ques that I only have but none of my friends

[slate egret]

Have to be careful with making Tanking brain dead and lowering skill expression. Having to manage grit/courage uptime isn't asking much yet some tanks still fail at it and can forget.

[trail raptor]

Please let it be Dark/Death Knight or Paladin. 😄 or both.

Hope they keep a phyical tank but magic tanks are cool.

Then release a Grim Reaper cosmetic in the store. 💀

[hushed ivy]

I agree a report button is good overall, but you posted an example of when to use ignore.

You're grown ass man and just pinged the GM of a MMO because some dude roasted you. lmao

[sharp cloak]

I mean hitting a button every 20 seconds isn't exactly skilful or interesting, its just a bit of busy work

[cold shuttle]

Has nothing to do with "be an adult". This is exactly what doesn't need to be cultivated in this community.

[limpid shale]

Paladin will be able to make once they add the secondary archetype system, it won't be it's own thing

[cold shuttle]

He was ignored. Being called a name is a roast? lul Good day to you, bud.

[hushed ivy]

Yeah he roasted you, because you're in the discord crying about it rn lmao

[burnt pelican]

if you right click their name you can ignore them. hope this helps ✨

[soft cliff]

Ngl, people put way too much value on what a stranger says nowadays lol. Just brush it off and move on.

[grave canyon]

If you ignore this shit it won't bother you as much 💯
You replied, you opened the conversation

[slate egret]

Having busy work is called micromanagement and a key part of skillful expression in a tab target game. Standing still and pressing a button.. not a big deal. Having to spin multiple plates and not dropping one is a different story. If it wasn't part of skill, people wouldnt forget to press the button and eat big damage. Sure, not insane, but more skillful than just being tanky while asleep at the keyboard

[cold shuttle]

I did.

[burnt pelican]

problem solved then dont ping the owner of the game lmao

[junior atlas]

resna is dead!

[sharp cloak]

Tanking is one of the most involved classes to play, you literally cannot be asleep at the keyboard since you're managing threat, pulling in new mobs and keeping an eye on telegraphed attacks. Pushing one button on a timer is not engaging nor skilful, its glancing at the top of your bar every so often

[unborn socket]

I can see a reason to report if it is harassment. But been called a name on a 1 encounter with the person is just how video games work. Ignore is there and as long as ignore is there and this person is not going around harassing people, I doubt you will get that report option because some dude with from another part of the world said a digital word that upset you or could be seen as upsetting.

[halcyon pendant]

I don't think making abusive behaviour normalised as "just how it works", should be the attitude taken

[unborn socket]

I dont think getting trash talk 1 time should warrant a report to get banned

[dim scarab]

"trash talk" = ban , its like saying you shouldn't go to jail for first time robbery or stealing.

[slate egret]

By that reasoning, managing threat isn't skillful. Intimidating aura solves 99% of the aggro issues. Just make it like WoW where AoE taunting doesnt even really matter most expacs because it's passively high.

[timber pulsar]

What? They have already said they are adding an ingame report option lol. Why wouldnt they be

[cedar grail]

ok how can you have real PVP if your dance emote is not working? How else do you show dominance?

[solemn cedar]

Happy New year gamers, God bless you all. Success and Health for all of you. Cheers

[dim scarab]

huh? I have been dancing for days

[cedar grail]

all my /emotes stopped working weird

[unborn socket]

That is a huge leap that you took there. I get the example and I do think he was a jerk. But this is more like a drunk man slapped you and now he gets 10 years in jail.

[rigid escarp]

tanking while underleveled or undergeared sure but when you’re stacked you can just facetank and hold block if you have competent bards/clerics

[unborn socket]

I can see people been a holes and when they get insulted for it, the a hole reports and he wins the encounter. That is why I don't believe it should had been a thing. Ignore should had been fine unless it is actual harassment

[grave canyon]

Nah it's like a drunk man calls you a bundle of sticks, 10 years in jail. Slap is physical

[burnt pelican]

so if i trash talk i should be banned

i am sitting for 3 hours now in a waiting queue, this is not normal wth

[timber pulsar]

Ingame reports arent just for saying naughty words. Ingame reports are also for reporting botters, hackers, and exploiters without having to go to the website to create a ticket

[hushed ivy]

Yeah remember metaphorically no contact is made - only words here

[grim geyser]

if you are here chating close the game thx

[sharp cloak]

Thats simply dishonest and reductive reasoning, you choose when and where to use those skills, they are situational. Grit is mandatory. Theres no time it shouldn't be up since its integral, at the very least it should be a toggle like iron will

[cedar grail]

figured it out. you cant emote while sprint is enabled

[burnt pelican]

cant im fishing

[grim geyser]

fu

[burnt pelican]

why does me playing the game make you upset

[grim geyser]

queue makes me upset

[timber pulsar]

yeah im fishing too lol

[unborn socket]

My point. The reports should be for that. If harassment is happening, you should take it to the website with proof

[sharp cloak]

If you believe auto attacks can keep aggro on a full party nuking something then you can be my guest to attempt it

[blissful trench]

yea they really need to get a handle on the que stuff.. but honestly they REALLY REALLY need to work on the performance in settlements and not being able to get into storage and stuff... THAT is super frustrating when its literally every time you go into town lol XD kindve bummed they havent done anything about the craet pridces not refreshing either, woudlnt think thats too hard of a fix and its kinda detrimental to running crates

[grim geyser]

just destroy joeva, send a nuke every hour

[unborn socket]

Some people can't handle just the ignore option. They want to make the other suffer even if ignore solves and prevents future bad words been exchanged

[dim scarab]

In my opinion, trash is trash and trash talking could be more toxic to community/society than someone stealing two schnitzels from the gas station cause they got no money. I guess the degree of the crime matters yet given the example, poor man took schnitzels to cure his hunger and the trash talking is nothing ,but meant to cause harm, no matter what kind. = Not only that I would ban ,but put in Jail for couple days.

[grim geyser]

they dont think on our holiday breaks 😢

[blissful trench]

well thats good, honestly the que dosent really effect me personalyl cuz i just log out in no mans land, but crashing in joeva or logging oout in joeva your striaght up shit out of luck XD

[grave canyon]

Sheesh glad you ain't a cop

[cold shuttle]

That seems to be the problem everywhere, "just ignore it". Lets ignore everything instead of addressing it.

[dim scarab]

how do you know?

[grave canyon]

Lol strong assumption

[unborn socket]

But that is my point. If he is harassing, then proof should be giving that this is happening even after been put in ignore and the player could be muted or as you say, jail. Not just get punished because you trash talk 1 player over the 3 years of playing and get labeled toxic

[hushed ivy]

They should add 2 report options when they add the button - "Unskilled player" (league had this) and "Crybaby, doesn't belong here" (new one i'd like to have) I'd immediately report Vanir with both options

[blissful trench]

yea people would rather just ignore it, let it fester and let other people deal with it, as long as its not bothering them thats all people care about

[trail raptor]

So sick of this BS, so I can't login to my gathering character coz never ending ques, so I switch to my tank to do some muling and game crashes, I log back in and my 3 crates are luckily still there but the crates are showing as not mine anymore, I pick them up anyway and carry on with my mule, then 2 gankers come along and soon as they engage me in combat, CRASHED again.

I log back in and all my crates are gone and the game has spawned 5 mules around me of my own mule, then game crashes again. 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁

[dim scarab]

or give them a schnitzel and make them promise they won't do it again right?

[slate egret]

Aura is situational? Regardless if it's a single mob or multiple, Aura could go up to stabilize threat. It even helps debuffs mobs and kill, ever so slightly, faster. It's hardly this tactical choice unless your group has bad aggro pullers so it could also be passive. There's no reason to just sit on the button.. When you start stripping away the busy work, you quite literally lower skill expression in a tab target game.

[simple summit]

It is important to maintain a positive attitude when pvping!

[cold shuttle]

That's the whole point of a report option, you think a person with responses like that hasn't done it to other people/groups? With enough reports it can be handled.

[trail raptor]

Literally can't do anything in AOC today 🙁 🙁 🙁 Waste hours on those crates.

[unborn socket]

How about you use an example that fits dialog since that is what is happening and not physical interaction?

[dim scarab]

You said this before and I replied: It is important to maintain a positive attitude when sitting in queue all day trying to PVP

[grave canyon]

TROGDOR!

[blissful trench]

yea man, had someone jump me yeterday, he ended up getting curropted and ying and losing prob half his gear, some random person grabbed the packs while the fight was happening, so the dude literally got nothign out of it and lost half his gear and i lost my packs, all for nothing XD at this point with so many gankers and only one route being worth doing, its WAAYY better to just get mats and sell them on the auction in joeva, i made 4 gold in 20 minutes yerstday doing that

[dim scarab]

how about relax ,because I have been trolling for the past 15 mins.

[lean cradle]

@vague leaf @half pilot so in alpha i could make my characters arms huge now in this version i can not why was this setting taken away

[simple summit]

One day there will be no queue issue so we can all look forward to that!

[unborn socket]

I agree to that. Just see it as a possible exploit by people.

[trail raptor]

Whats even more annoying is they probably got to steal all 3 crates and didn't get corrupted because my game crashed for a second time soon as I was in combat. Starting to wonder if gankers are exploiting something to force people to crash.

[dim scarab]

indeed, just hope its within days not months .

[unborn socket]

Thanks. You changed my life 🙂

[sharp cloak]

Just because something is useful doesn't make it any less situational, you don't need it on single targets and its a waste of mana if you're comfortably keeping threat. Its not mindlessly riding the button, which is what Grit essentially demands and why it offers nothing to the experience

[blissful trench]

yea thats some for real bs, i say fuck running crates at the moment tbh, after seeing how fast and how expensive some of those materials are, absolutley fuck running crates lol

[slate egret]

Wait you could make the arms bigger in sculpt before?

[trail raptor]

I can't even play AOC at the moment, game just keeps crashing over and over. Other character is stuck in never ending ques.

[lean cradle]

yes the charcter customization was wayyy better you could make your character ridiculous it was fun

[blissful trench]

if its just crashing without an error, mine was doing that and i had to set all my graphics settings super low and hasnt done it since, my game looks like an early 2000s mmo now but atleast i can play it lmfao

[empty helm]

Wtf is ur pfp

[lean cradle]

slash spit

[dim scarab]

player f u kin g player

[trail raptor]

I was just moving the last of my stuff from ANVILS to Riverlands and had 3 crates in bank so thought I would do both at the same time since its been stable for me all day and no crashes. Now suddenly as soon as I try to mule anything I get 4 crashes in 1 hour and lose everything plus due to crashes gankers get free crates with no consequences...

[timber pulsar]

oof

[blissful trench]

yea thats fucking brutal man

[blissful trench]

graphics quality- medium
global illumination- low
view distance - low
anti-aliasing - medium
post processing - medium
shadows - low
textures- medium
effects - low
foliage - low

and for super resolution sampling im using TSR at 80

^^^^those settings fixed the constant crashing without any error for me maybe itll help for someone else idk might have to adjust it depending on your system, i have a 1080ti with 11GB VRAM, ryzen 9 3950X and 32 gbs of RAM... i do think its something related to graphics settings/the system your using with how changing mine fixed it for me, could be different for other people tho obviously

[trail raptor]

No error game just shuts down and closes/crashes on its own to desktop. Instantly.

[zinc bear]

@terse stag the guild recruitment channel is 3 below this one

[blissful trench]

yup thats EXACTLY what mine was doing, those ettings i posted fixed it for me, hasnt done it in a fe days, it was doing it every 5 minutes i couldnt even play

[trail raptor]

Not had any crashes today until now. Can't even play on other character coz thats stuck in que.

[blissful trench]

yea first few days it wasnt doing it, then all of the sudden it was doing it constantly out of no where

[tardy jungle]

for the level 25 mount skin, when are we supposed to recieve it?

[blissful trench]

straight up couldnt play the game, sometimes it would last laess than a minute and id be staring at my desktop with no error XD if i couldnt fix it i was honestly just gonna take a break until they fixed it cuz cant play with it doing that

[trail raptor]

Think I lost about 10+ gold in crashes today now. Literally can't do anything but start new characters in AOC today. Everything I try to do turns to crap. Literally set stuff up over hours and then lose it all.

[blissful trench]

yea id try fucking with your graphics like i did, not sure what else you can do to fix it, thats the only thing thats worked for me, those constant crashes with no error were driving me UP THE WALL lmfao

[bold temple]

is it possible to sport fish without pvp flagging?

[timber pulsar]

No

[bold temple]

ok so it's pointless for me as a lvl 12 to try solo sport fishing in populated areas right

[trail raptor]

I am starting to think their is an exploit gankers are using to force game crashes on people soon as they are in combat. Seems to happen way too often to be a coincidence.

[spring plinth]

Yes, in fresh water. Not in the ocean.

[bold temple]

oh nice

[trail raptor]

Think its time to sell all my mules, between crashes, crap gold return, gankers and the amount of time it takes to farm the glint and make the crates I think im done with the entire muling system. 😄 oh and farm the tickets...
