Are the Master level gathering tools implemented into the game?
111 que in shol because you got disconnected in the city of joeva... this shit is handicapped hard. takes over 2 hours to get back into the game, develop a system to port people away from the city when logging in, pls.
anyone know a good leveling guide for processing/ crafting? i wanna make sur eim atleast doing stuff efficently and not wasting TO much time.
does anyone know how to fix service timout code 31
another crash, this time going into the dessert, going crazy
im loading more then im playing
i changged dns, it doesnt help
i just tend to try everything then see what gives somewhat the best xp, it's all gonna wipe one day anyways it's all lost time really haha, just have fun, try different things and see whats best for you/most enjoyable/most efficient, i wouldnt worry to much tbh mate
ya but if theres a good recipe to learn or buy
hey all new here and thinking about buying the game.. but is it worth the time to put into it? Not trying to start a riot just an honest question from a consumer with limited funds
how do you get perms for alpha 2 gen chat?
tbh peeps will keep this info in guilds, or close to them, bc its so competitive. I made a spreadsheet myself and listed costs/returns/mats needed and figured out what I wanted to do. But im weird like that
not too sure tbh buddy, this is where it's good to just try trial and error. for example i just kept making the novice bags on tailoring as it was decent xp, i had the matts, and got me to lvl 10 tailoring, but i really am no min maxer so couldnt really help you sorry dude
why can't we get into the voice call?
Tons of materials, processing/crafting experience scrolls, deconstruction kits. Really all there is to it and a lot of time.
i would say the same to anyone, just lower your expectations. It's a alpha, it's in open development. There's bugs, issues, log in problems, queues, the lot, if you can go into that with the open mind, it's fine, i personally have had a blast so far, if you can not let annoying losses get in your way haha ๐
after I died it's like it won't let me sprint anymore, not sure what happened.
bc you dont have the alpha 2 role here in discord. You need to link your discord to your ashes acct like you did with steam.
if you DID that, it may have bugged out, disconnect and redo it in incognito window
try . on your keyboard
and i've deffo spent this much money on much, much, much worse things, but we won't go into that ๐
can anyone point me to a comprehensive crate running with mule?
WORKED, thank you for your reply
ya i def havent spent $50 on Uber Eats sushi >.>
deconsturction?
i just make greataxes and sell it to the trader since its not much. is that bad?
i've come to the conclusion animal husbandry is dumb AF. i love waisting vast amounts of gold to get beasts of burden no one wants to buy for even a fraction of the cost it was to produce.
You can do whatever you feel like is best, but I've heard that deconstruction kits are your best friend by at least getting some of the materials back from your crafts to keep making more.
Especially if you want to go from Apprentice to JM and beyond.
oh ok.see thats the stuff i got no idea about
what i did was crafting a bunch of novice items with the least qty of cheap materials required
and using the commission crafting scroll to get that 370xp for 5 mins
I absolutely am not crafting for my first wave, but playing with a pretty experienced guild and trying to peace together any info I can to help others.
my guild is my homies who are all knew, so thats one problem.
This is really the best way. Many guilds have hard core crafters with big experience and know all the tricks
If my boat is destroyed, do i have to build a new one?
You're also locked to like 5 professions to get apprentice and above
So I was told since you do more traveling with your main character that should all be gathering and if you're interested in crafting make an alt.
There's just no convenient way to transfer things to your alt unless it's in the same guild/guild bank.
thank you 
is 29 lvl items drop disabled?
can you guyz plz reset joeva with npc and players plz. like you do sometime when npc bugged, this is gettting out of control in lotharia
https://gyazo.com/f35a81f37f0b7d54c9bd9324729f4a4b
i dont understand guys 220 ppl is big queue i think its more than an hours
The queue is for the region , not the whole server; so best to logout in quiet spot - NOT in town.
So, in the absence of followign resources on minimap, how the f am i supposed to find limestones ? i literally spent an HOUR and couldnt find a single node. where are these ?
what mobs would i farm for flowmarked emblems?
Instead of a full wipe or rollback, could you just wipe all loot, gold, and gear? Would love to keep playing, but not sure if it is worth until the dupe stuff is resolved ;/
hi
is tin really that hard to find? i only found 2 slates in like 2 hrs
Everyone is talking about this dupe bug and wipe, what even is the bug ?
people have reported a suspected bug with crates, they've reported it and intrepid looking into it, that's literally all thats been said so far
ahhh ty
this Que time boss is insane today, everything has been great until the past 2 days have been awful ๐
Remember to logout in quiet place
why do I still have no permission to type in channels?
how is that even a thing that i have to log out in the middle of nowhere just to avoid que times.....i should be ablwe to log out anywhere i want to like every other game. how should being log out ina city punish you? is the server not just a whole? like why would it matter?
Well, as to WHY they designed it that way - who knows ? ask them ๐
But - what players find is that the queue is essentially local, not such a good idea really, no ๐
Something to do with how the zones and areas are SEAMLESS maybe (which is nice).
has intrepid figured out how to ban bots yet? lol
has any game? ๐
some have pretty good bot management and prevenetive measures i would say so. there are bot ban waves in most games but to completely wipe them out of any game i would say no..no they havent ๐
it will always be an issue unfortunately, infact, i think will only get worse in gaming over time. The botters are winning the cat and mouse game so far ๐ haha
Wipe hype
Been stuck at #1 in q for about 20 minutes
wazzuuuuuuuuuh
Unstuck is utter bullshit, when i am legitimately stuck.....like in a damn hole in the mountains i can't climb out of. Bullshit i have to lose half my shit and take an xp penalty. Not like this game has GMs to fucking help.
does anyone wanna play this game with me, my mate was meant to buy it but never did...
LOGOUT ALREADY ๐
we would love to have you
guys what is max afk time
yeah?
for sure bro, i sent you a DM
Are they going to roll back the servers?
Man, I can't do it anymore. Without fast travel i feel like i am wasting my life away walking for 20-40 mins
enjoy the game the rest of you
Well, you got a mount
is resna messed up?!
yeah i got booted
just bought early access on steam, synced my steam to my aoc account... says servers are down unless you're alpha 2 tester? are there no EA servers? or did i miss a step here?
do they not realize or care about how unacceptable it is to have people purchase a product, expect to use the product and then not be able to do so. Been in que 4 hours now, it hasn't moved... all because i crashed in Joevah . Please make a system that will port people to other parts of the map so they can log in or increase the city cap.
Small things like this will ruin the effort you all are going through to create a great game. This is the only issue I've had with he game and it should be a simple enough fix.
yall wh oare in crazy que, ua re in que cause u loging off in towns, nodes have their own sort of servers, for citys at least.. so when u log out in a city and u try to get in ofc u gona end up in a que xD its over packed. i haven't seen a single que on this game cause i always log off or close the game way outside the city
i stated plainly i crashed in joeva. i understand how it works
its why i suggested a way to fix the situation
@blissful prism can u read DM please ๐
i've spent 12h in joeva queue today, at like 20-40 ppl left. if i go do something else IRL, i risk going inside while i'm not at the pc, getting kicked again, and then probably being unable to play most of the weekend, bc of this ridiculous queue times that are also impossible to predict when you will get in. made me lose so much IRL time just to play this shit. didnt even play today, i just moved my char outside joeva and logged off. im pissed off.
Does anyone know of some decent locations for slate on the west side of the map near Mira?
where to get anvils essence?
They drop off creatures in the Anvil area.
where is anavil? they dont really show the split off on map unless i dont ahv filter
Northern regions of the map
How do you tell if you been ban'd or timedout on a server? I asked about people hunting cratee transporters and Dc'd.
Where do I find Palas cat spawns?
hallo
this queue shit is crazy, anyone know a fix? i logged into joeva no problem, played for 10 minutes logged out for 5 minutes, then when i came back 5 minutes later, i was at 204 queue... now i cant play today.
pick a different server if you can?
Is there a reason I cant chat in gereral anymore?
Server crashed?
So how bad is RPK'ing in this? Is it worth it to do small runs with the crate things?
i've not touched a crate and only had one person try to kill me.
everyone I know running crates does it in a massive group because they've started solo and lost about 5 runs and learned the hard way its a quick way to lose materials
So RPK'er more small groups right now? But I assume if they got bigger they would just go after cravans?
no-one runs caravans. it's not worth it.
Ran a few solo, been killed once. Caravans are less popular this phase as mules/crates are overtuned or caravans are undertuned... just try grab a group to do some crates or go for it solo, its only alpha anyways losing your stuff is pretty irrelevant right now, good time to have fun and play a lot more of the risk to try get some reward ๐
I have a friend who wants to get in the game but thinks being able to kill people doing crates and take your hard work is stupid for a MMO
Just not the game for him thats all ๐
I have thousands of hours on rust for example, where all you do is lose your stuff, I just really enjoy the risk vs reward
I don't mind, High risk-High reward. But he thinks crates take a lot of work for them to be steal-able. I keep telling him they are supr easy to makee.
12 Stone, 12 herb, 5 fish and a couple coupons is too much? ๐คฃ
THAT'S WHAT I TOLLD HIM!! He doesn't believe that's all it takes.
I wpuldnt bother to much trying to convince someone like that brother, just really isnt his type of game
Thinks there is some else to it and wants to look more into thee system.
Really for him the hang up is that people we normally play with ( mainly one guy) don't do subs to things. And finding someone to play with mighty be hard and AoC is not very solo'able to him.
You got some fussy pals :p
Ser Bear doesn't like to do thing alone.
sup
Why can't I post in any of the Alpha Two channels still?
Where should the ship appear after destruction? How to restore it?
Hi! Are the servers up right now? I just barely downloaded the game
You all linked up?
Yes! I think i just figured it out right when i sent that last message, apologies.
I thought I was. I've been playing via steam for a while. I guess I missed a step somewhere?
Its in the read me first channel bud
que time 154 for like 30minutes
Im yet to experience these queues, apart from the first night
Getting an error when trying to enter the world that says "EAC Failure reason 5 {Unkown File Version (AOCClient.exe)}
ah I see what I missed now. THanks.
where do I farm at lvl 16 ?
i saw that there is a bard class in this game is it viable to play them as a dps
Absolutely. Most folks use them as "utility" in group play, but they can absolutely be dps too
@fallen shoal will i struggle or its somethign that is actually fuinctional
So what kinda armor do I want for Fighter?
crabs
fix the JOEVAS queues on SHOLM!!!!! its crazy, 2 hours in line wtf and it was bcof game crashhh
whats with this eac failure lol
On the Summoner does my pet get my (Str,Wis,Int etc) and my (Mag Speed, Power etc) ??
how do you tell what biome a town is in
Hey gang
Keen to get into the game, is it worth experiencing the alpha or wait for it to be polished?
6 hours of que time jsut for the servers to go down, what a fucking joke
I've never had a queue
login quick after the server reset and leave joeva forever
Can some help me pls??? I'm seeing that tanks get some Magic def from their phys def. And Fighter doesn't have that, but most of Mob damage is phys. So I want Plate as a solo Fighter right?
hey guys im new how can i find a guild on my server?
WTB Soulseeker (boots/leg/cloak) Lotharia--------please๐
it's great. im 117 hours in. halfway to 18. PVP is around if you like it. it usually finds you if you run crates though. the early questing was fun. after that its more mob grind/gathering/processing to level. the social aspects have been great. grouping up and guilds are essential for meaningful progress and the politics for the settlements has kept things interesting
only 2 hours , ive waited 8 hours as of a few min ago
Thanks! Appreciate it.
#1418327801437884616 or the forums guild section
If we buy a mount.. does every character get it? Is it account wide? If we make a new character, will that get the new mount too? And will it carry over into beta and etc?
not even a month and the economy/balance of the game is cooked. dupes/exploits running rampant
I know RIGHT???? Very few games have that issue, and it always thee bad ones that do. This is why you should never buy into a ALPHA. =/ Much sadage.
is there any resource for showing farm spots up in the northern area?
time for fresh start
no "3 min left" warning nothing, just boom
is mage good for pvp in this game ?
I hope they ban all this mother fuckers ruining the only mmorpg that makes me have fun currently
whats this unable to get ahold of anti cheat interface
if you buy a mount skin from the shop it's bound to your account and be persistent into the launch of 1.0 but only one character at a time will be able to use it in the future (subject to change) there'll be a cosmetic closet to move them accross characters.
Why is this maintenance being done only on these two servers?
Why can't anyone give advice on Fighter armor? LIKE NO ONE KNOWS AANYTHING ABOUT FIGHTER!!! But EVERYONE says it's a great class.
Dude I was mining for hours to get a fucking blue set of jewelry, I saw motherfuckers with enhanced weapon. They would need $100.000 to have that build.
what u mean?
guaranteed they duped the 100g glint.
the duping is wild , yall see the latest youtube vids? from zybaktv?
Honestly it was bad, I hope devs really fix this without server wipe
20 min warning while im 21 mins away from turning in crates, cool
shol in mantencionยก?
US servers went down
damn i logged in for 3 minutes andd it died i only have 1 hour to play before i have to go to bed to work my 3 jobs and raise my 11 kids tomorrow
condoms
shoulda went out for milk.
11 kids? wow
Come back in 20min~ and play for only 30min
sell a few kids
bruh i sat in que for 1 hour just to find out shol was down lol
keep pushing through and keep up the good work
Guys why ur storage differs from place to place and u can't use them all
or they do what Funcom did and marked all dupers and duped items and then poof, all of it removed from server as well as ban hammered
lets not invoke funcom, they have killed far to many mmo's
i just want them to release hunting/farming/husbandry in their real forms and wipe the servers. nothing much to ask
anyone know a dps bard build
Yet you can still play those MMO ๐ค .
i guess if you like age of conan private edition
Why did I submit all the tickets without results
umm
i do yellow/red and it's pretty good. saga is op for damage with heal gear to stay alive
Nah I play small community Anarchy Online
anarchy online was so good 20 years ago
dark age of camelot was a lot better though
Never got to play Camelot.
stfu
only thing i remember for daoc is I was leveling and i went to farm these mobs called hill people and they were legit just people ontop of a hill
LOL XD
Just want to say in case any intrepid studios employees see this, now is the time to wipe Shol and Resna. The market is not going to correct itself after the dupes. Please wipe us now instead of in a month or two when everyone leaves.
Mostly mixed on Steam , lets go guys and get Positive!!
can we fix the fucking game
im so down for this
they arent wiping anything or banning anyone LOL
i 100% just dumped 40 hours in the last 3 days into it but it seems like crap already LMAO lets start fresh reroll this track
wiping doesnt fix the problem, having people actually banned does
Alpha is to test, break, and fix core mechanics. 100% behind a wipe to restart exploited servers - if the duping/exploiting is 'actually' a thing and not just memes.
yayy im at the top
so how long is it down for?
Nahhhh Gobbos in Cornwall was like Crabs here !
Wiping and banning doesnโt fix. Having a robust game mechanics fixes it
i dont think you can really ban people for duping in an Alpha.. a beta yeah but an alpha meh.. fix the dup and wipe and if they do it AGAIN fix the dupe ban.
our grouip is 350 hours in on average. We dont mind a ban wave and wipe. Just dont want to put in another 350 hours and everyone leaves because each green radiant is 100+g. They're already almost 30g ea on average.
go watch zybaktv , vid came out 3 hours ago showing the hacks and duping
banning for things like rmt, yeah. banning for exploiting mechanics during an alpha? idk.. i mean we're here to test. people who sweat that badly should just suffer the loss of their time and go find more bugs to fix
i havent seen 30g yet lol only level 14 tho tbf
I seem to have lost the option to talk in the alpha two general channel
i hope they fix Shol que. 200+ que is like 4 or 5 hours of waiting
wait wait whats going on
how long server down for usually?
wtf
says for like 30 minutes starting about 20 ago
happened to me as well, not sure where you logged out but make sure its not in any settlement. I experimented with one toon in avens end and another in Joeva. 240 que in joeva , on instantly in avens end
someone saying theres duping going on and they may wipe the server?
from the IT world, the only time a 30min window for a reboot is trustworthy is if the reboot should only take 3 mins.
It'll be up when it's up.
Price of Legendary Granite?
yea it was joeva. accidently logged there and forgot to move before going to sleep, lesson learned! i havent been able to play my main all day because of it. literally had to make an alt
server wipe probably false lmao, duping? a shit ton. Supposed to be a slow pace community game yet we got hudrends of end game stuff popping up LOL
duping already hapend unfortenetly, were cooked :/ and cheating also was hapening and such
anything in anvils is okay though tbh lmao
would they just wipe one server or all?
is our server going to come back online & what is timeline?
resna us server is down?
no one knows anything yet
expect a wipe sometime but not soon. imagine having people who GM'd farming/husbandry/hunting on the current mechanic and they release the real mechanic. you can't not wipe for that.
hello friends
all my new found gold was illict funds. sad. no wonder joeva's market was inflated.
id probably quit if they wiped agian.. i know there gonna wipe eventually but ive put alot of time into it this time jsut to wipe before i hite 25
Where did my us realm go
i anticipate wipes eventually 100% just not sure if the gravity of duping is a multiserver issue
wipe it all
resna is down
Not wiping because people have good progress is not the metric to follow. If they cant follow the money trail far enough to remove 90% of it then everything just needs to go.
resna us server is wiped?
Its an alpha.. at some point they will add or remove something that needs character/server files reset.. it happens
resna wipe tonight. back to the grind
A wipe is good for me .. level the playing field ๐
are the us servers down for maintenance? i can only see two us realms available
can we get a cookhouse in joeva this time
There are people from some of the biggest and oldest clans with full sets of the best armour in the game that has been duped. people are also duping legendary crates and making thousands of gold and ruining the economy, making all their guild freinds wear BIS gear that cant be gone up against. basically this playtest is completely cooked on Resna and Shol
No wipes
i mean your playing on a alpha T.T
exact same happened in New World, its all happening again xD
looks like they are not even going to address the duping
how do people not understand this LOL
ebt extra big clowns lol
If the game keeps running with all these dupes and bots then im sorry guys its a typical rugpull
its backm up
us servers are back up?
Umm have you played classic wow? 400 bot mages farming daily its nothing new
Are armor Recipes in the artisan window all craftable in-game?
waht happens if the devs just remove stuff that has been duped to stop it from happening or removing it from ppl entierly
that is true lol they need to fix the duping issue and be the first mmo to not have bots.. or at LEAST something against it
WIPE HYPE. โฟโฟโฟโฟ ๐ด ๐ณ ๐ช โฟ๐ฑ ๐ฆ ๐ธ ๐น โฟ ๐ท ๐ฎ ๐ฉ ๐ช โฟโฟโฟโฟ
You cannot tolerate gold buyers and sellers. The game is just gonna die. If you care about the project at all, serious action has to be taken.
is this discord the best place to find a guild?
hello i reported this bug but my hud editor never saves it reset each time i log in same with tutorial messgaes when i open the like my bags or skill menus. anyone knwo of a way to fix this?
Is this an official aoc discord?
Are armor Recipes in the artisan window all craftable in-game?
so .. was that literally a server reboot?
yeah
yeah rmt needs to be dealt with harshly but imagine spending $50 to sell gold in an alpha... xD
The lack of response from the devs is worrying
its normal
i think the devs tryin to figure it out but its probably on the list of things to do
is anythign being built in miralath that need crates>?
no fr anyone who is buying AND selling gold in an ALPHA are completly nuts and need to get liek any sort of life outside of thinking gaming = personality
is your first mmo? LOL because.... umm this is NORMAL. Bot, duping bad players, griefers have been around since ultima online
yeah worying about basic stuff like bots afk farming on an alpha isnt too much of a big deal
Was doing a crate run on resna an all my crates are gone ๐
it is a big deal there is just alot on they plate so they have to answer things as they come up every game goes thru this some just either dont care or use it pad they stats
its a big deal but not rn... every mmo to exist has bots LOL cuz they low key help the economy LMAO sad to say but its true
Whats the currency thats under the coins in your inventory that looks like tickets?
race to the bottom via massive saturation is not 'helping' the economy
as long as bots are less then id say 8% of the population it does more good then harm
why? what is the 8% margin?
what's the benefit of citizen ship?
bigger storage is the most immediate, lower taxes at higher rep
i have no clue i just spit out a low number LMAO was thinking like if 10k ppl played and 800 were bots (mostly farming mats) it wouldnt hurt too bad, the onjly ISSUE is that the people with the bots are just in big ass guilds so they gonna be exploiting everyone anyways
Real talk though when you open inventory and click items, bottom right it shows ur gold silver copper, and below that there is some other currency that looks like tickets. You get them out of the quest chests you open. What are they?
what serve would people recommend playing on?
They're required for certificates so you can build crates to do logistics runs for gold.
they are to buy certs for crates which are a main source of gold
This is literally what I'm working on right now too, doing some town commissions to earn the tickets to build my first crate
bots do nothing but generate bloat. a player based econ needs players to base the econ or it's scewed.
Will guilds manipulate? yes, that is part of it.
Large cashmoney/rmt groups aren't playing the game though, they're skewing things for external gain.
It's my second day and I'm just in awe of the world this game has. The systems are super complex to a new player, so you have to ask questions all the time. But a lot of players are helpful in the in-game chat.
I 'want' large guilds to corner markets and control areas where resources spawn.
I do 'not' want corporations to exploit any aspect of the game for external profit.
i dont think you realize how little mats and items there would be without bots LMAO the markets would be bare other then rare mats and little of that if any... it would just be guilds making stuff for themselves and not adding anything so no solo players can really get anything, there needs to be serpluse for people to spread out actual needed items
Bans + guild disbands need to come out
Exploring and gathering is really fun, especially when you go a bit out of your comfort zone. You see players who could at any moment kill you for your loot, but choose to peacefully farm instead and it's such a vibe sometimes.
I think you overestimate the botting in an alpha and underestimate the gatherers. it doesn't take much to get a couple hundo plants...
litearlly just ban Polar and the other one lol i mean they are an albion and wow guild ofc they are doing stupid shit what yall expect
Does it make a difference as to which town's commissions you do? Are there anything to gain for a certain town even without citizenship?
Are armor Recipes in the artisan window all craftable in-game?
yeah im talking about general botting not this game... idk how crafting or gathering relaly works on here lol ive only played a week IF you can even call it that
Like lvl 3 with a alpine mount should just be insta ban
i mean we're discussing the impact on this game.. but all good.
Overall a player economy is based on players economying.
You are asking for false prices based on bot-driven availability.
That is not player driven econ.
If you want more plants on the market, go pick more plants. don't expect the bot army to give you cheap deals.
yeah or if you see 100 ppl with all copy paste gear LMAO
to be fair there's not many gear sets that don't take grinding recipes so kinda everyone is copy paste gear
i like cheap deals.. only issue rn is that the bot holders and emters and big guild are using them to ramp the prices up super high.. its ridicules, so i mean copy paste gear meaning stupidly strong gear instantly
if you think prices are ramping up, we're playing different games. this is an alpha that isn't free to play. i've blocked like 2 dozen gold spammers. it's not that widespread.
The concept though is what is really being discussed. That is one of those who only want to fight and buy wanting a cheap market vs those who want to sell on the market wanting fair prices.
i want fair prices no matter what simple as that
Does the way armor look like depends on your race ? I see all orcs wearing the same looking armor, and my dwarf armor looks different
yeah the same armor looks dif on dif races it's odd
@gritty elk Lotharia - Oakbane Keep Constantly crashing everyone in the higher area. lower area seems to be bot infested atm.
no fr whenever i go to grind xp as a solo player there is ALWAYS bots afking farming mobs... makes it hard asf
Are armor Recipes in the artisan window all craftable in-game?
what server would you recommend playing on?
that's gotta suck cause i never run into 'bots' anywhere. what server are you on? at 50 a pop a bot army isn't cheap. rmt must be sizzling
@gritty elk Please tell me that next phase will have more laweless pvp zones, right now it feel like people only pvp baiting each other or griefing noobs that have the wrong settings on, but cant fight anywhere normally other than the water. Also RED system is too harsh and no one plays RED, and xp debt stat diminishing is very harsh too.
Some more lawless zones on the land like the jungle or desert would be cool to actually make travelling with crates / going to mine high end materials a bit risky, just sucks that people only pvp bait each other or grief or just never fight cause they know no one will ever go red willingly.
Much love for the game brotha, just hope you think about us small scale pvpers / solos โค๏ธ
is it too late to buy citizenship in joeva on shol server?
im on shol, idk if they are bots but its mostly afk ppl just farming mobs
oh speaking of what Rondark said, How The Fuck do I kill an ass that griefs someone then drops pvp.
I went purple but could not hit them.
Then they decided to go purple and hey they could hit me. They died but I still don't know how the fuck to hit a non-flagged person.
dude killed my wife who never pvps, for being near the cats, but even though I was flagged i could not attack him. was annoying af.
Me being not flagged never stops anyong from hitting me though.
no clue i think pvp in this game... specailly forced would destroy a lot of the player base lol what ive seen at least is most people dont want to pvp unless they go out of their way to
they need pvp zones with boosted loot to incetivise people risking going into the area to farm
it makes no sense to me.
The only time I've seen someone go red was by accidentally hitting someone with an aoe attack while flagged, but fighting a bear.
yeah i could see that... but thats just gonna be a guild farming that with 100 ppl defending their farmers just like albion lol
red and purple is different. when youre purple you should be able to attack anyone
but my god the number of times i've tab-targetted someone who was purple when i was white...
and yes, i thought so too. i was purple, i could not attack him.
He turned purple, he could attack me. I Don't know what i was doing wrong.
gotta hit him harder
my quick wit healed him.. i was purple. it healed him.
could be an issue with quick wit
Idk what that isโฆ Iโm just a fighter I wack thatโs it
'e' did nothing. no other skills proc'd. Saga didn't even damage.
I'm sure it was me doing something wrong, but I know I was purp.
There is a PvP toggle on and off. I think you have to click the 2 cross swords to allow you to attack players. If you are near gaurds they will kill you.
yeah i was purple. ie: pvp toggled
how does one get access to type in main chats?
/s = say
hello
what is the quest in riverlands that gives you a set of green novice tools? i did it on my other char but cannot remember the name oif it
look for trade officer or something like that in the areas near the storage
in a main town or in lionshold?
lionshold, either side
is the server down
How do you get permissions to speak in the other Alpha 2 chats?
Hi everyone! So im a bit confused as to the crate system. So I know there's a few types of crates like market, settlement etc. Now the whole system confuses me but my first i think im good with settlement crates. Now I would like to learn the market commodity crates, after crafting them where or to who do i deposit.
I just made a crate and it has ruby's in it, where am i supposed to take it on resna
Go to market commodity vendor with stuff (12 wood/flower, 12 rock/gem, 5 fish) and buy a cert at the guy next to the station.
Station makes box.
Run to another place, market commodity vendor.
Profit.
*Disclaimer - people like your stuff and will take it.
When you say run to another place you mean settlement like from jeova to etc.
more distance = more monays
So what's the difference between market crates and settlement crates? They sound the same to me.
not 100% on the settlement crates. do you mean construction crates?
Con crates to bring materials to settlement construction projects.
Market crates to make cashmoneys.
Guild crates for guild skill xp.
That's all I know about. There's a citizen vendor/workstation too but idk what it does.
@carmine granite so like I mentioned above I can craft settlement crates in briarmoor but they are called settlement crates. The market crates are named different but behave the same as settlement crayes were I need to bring em anywhere. Just confused sorry
not sure on that sorry! all i've done is the con and market crates.
@carmine granite no problem thanks fir your help I appreciate it. B4 I go which ones are the ones that give scripts.
i think the con crates give them. so do buy orders. i mostly do buy orders and market crates
I have a symbol on my minimap that says "Unread Mail", but i cannot click it or find a mailbox anywhere.. or is that an interface menu?
mail in any settlement and both sides of lionhold. i assume same for anvils starting area
I am currently in a settlement. What do i need to look for?
near the storage area, it's next to the construction npc close to the storage npcs
found it.. yikes it was kind of hidden in the shadow of a small hut ๐
I just want to see what mail I have without going to a mailbox.
Not retrieve, but read summary.
That way I know if I should head back to town to shower myself in gold or keep grinding.
also enter should confirm. don't make us click so many times to sell filets and fat.
Been stuck in the loading screen waiting for the async loading then restarts loading again. Ugh
what was the update on shol and resna for?
Is the entire map in the game?
So.. I cant talk in general.. but a note for devs as I send in a bug report in a moment.. item price dont seem to be updating very well, I almost (before I noticed) sold a single snowdrop for a silver because I had just moved a stack of 20 right before trying to sell the 1
no what you see like 20-30 percent of the map
anyone else experiencing lag?
On the Summoner does my pet get my (Str,Wis,Int etc) and my (Mag Speed, Power etc) ??
Hey sorry, another silly question. Where do you see your artisanships levels? Fishing level for example. I can't seem to find it under the character menu.
Press P
Legend, thanks!
On what world devs u balance pvp? People lvl 25 camping newbie at level 10? Are we joking? 2 server is literally death for this feature, and the most annoying thing, people lvl 25 killing low level saying โ welcome to alphaโ adjust your game
P
how do you create a party and can u request to join one
dwarf's needs hammers !!! hammers that look like hammers. !!!
just right-click on the other name an select invite to party.
ah u gotta right click on their health bar ui
On the Summoner does my pet get my (Str,Wis,Int etc) and my (Mag Speed, Power etc) ??
how do you roll certain rarity ore to higher version?
those game closes are so annoying really xD
Will there be an official follow up for the RMT and duplication issue on Resna?
Anyone just get kicked out of the Lyneth server
lyneth cooked?
I cant connect, error code 37
same
Lyneth just died
Same
shol and resna went down for maintenance, maybe they just forgot to tell us Lyneth was going down too?
I doubt that they are normally pretty good about that and they also normally always reset the servers the same time every 2 days. I think this was a crash
its back it think, loading in now
perma black screen after character selection nothing working
try restarting, im in and playing fine
To be honest I tried everything now I just deleted the game and download again its sad I will have to wait a hole day to download
please tell me theres a way to undo guild dispansion
Highly doubt it pal
Crashing and losing 3 valuables crates in the process... great
Oooft unlucky brother
Guys gotta remember weโre in the Alpha phase when you encounter a bug or error please get it reported so that those issues your facing can be documented for possible fix
What town do u train the rams?
Hey, just started a bard to test it out. Is there anyway to keep Quick Wit on my bars while targeting / attacking? As soon as I target an enemy it changes to Mock icon but still says Quick Wit when you hover over it.
Oh never mind, respecing and just selecting Quick Wit seems to have worked. However, the Mock icon still swaps depending if I have a target or not.
WTB my voyager+ perms back 
STEVEN FIX OAK PLS
can someone tell me lumberjacking good for gold making or mining ?
exept that
Well, it is and not. But if you like farming why not. collect all rares and sell bulk.
In two days there was only one sport fishing spot near Joeve is this a bug? Thereโs no information about it anywhere. server lotheria
What about new dupes of all, and fly cheats/ yhat shows in this night video on youtube ?
so whats best for pvp? bard or rogue?
cleric is good
for?
i have a funny idea for the exploiters/dupers when they get banned - delete their inventories and spawn them into the middle of towns as corrupted and don't allow them to fight back, don't let the guards one shot them either XD
throwback to eve online when you see super carriers in jita because the devs have found a group of botters
for? pvp?
i know, just quite a vague question really? best for what? killing, teaming, healing, etc etc etc
well i guess it would start with solo pvp and take it from there if i find a guild to hang with, i guess rogue is best for solo pvp due to the stealth part
Does anyone know anything about Lumbermill crates? I just noticed them and wondering if worth making compared to the crates everyone else is running.
yeah man, stealth is great to have. Just remember its very early on in the game, if you role your character based on whats "best", this could very quickly change in a month or so and you might be a bit let down, so bare that in mind.
hello, The server queue is not moving for couple of hours now 2nd day in a row is that normal...?
Queue is dicky. It helpse to logout in QUIET area - not in town.
how do you get perms to type in the other chats?
u need to link game account with discord
read the "read me first" bit ๐
why would you even link your accounts, free metadata for everyone ^^
besides there's people in this discord admitting to duping etc - so are they even using this information of discord account<->game account to ban them on steam/eac/aoc?
Please add option to skip queue and just spawn in random city across the map till you find better solution. That is not abusable. Staying in queues for 3 hours after you got crashed in joeva is supersadge. Oh I am staying in line for like 2 hours atm and moved from 72 to 48. I gonna login in like 4 hours or so. So unexpected crash can lead to 6hours queue. Thats cruel. I prefer to spawn in random city and just move to joeva. If I am lucky then I spawn near if I am unlucky I spawn at edge of the map.
Devs, could you put the hell a litter higher. I hate falling down for 3 minutes after logging in.
No considering Bam is still here.
Around nov 2024 nw had a similar dupe issue and the devs โmanually removed everythingโ
Plot twist, they didnโt even remove half of it and banned at least 10% of the playerbase for weeks until they โhad it sorted outโ
Wipe/rollback or itโs screwed
Itโs funny because most of the people voting/arguing against wipe/rollback have no idea how ruined the economy can become lmao.
they either lose one or two weeks of progress - or spend the rest of alpha two fighting hyperinflation
Part of alpha testing and development is Intrepid developing and adjusting their tools for these types of things. That is important for helping to ensure the integrity of actual launch. Itโs not the first time dupes/hacks/exploits have been found and patched up. The ability to tag each item, and track gold is part of it.
There have been very few โwipesโ in all of alpha testing up to date. If they were cautious to avoid it during phases with less testers and way more dupes/cheats/issues, and their detection and repair processing less advanced, then it kinda makes sense they will be more cautious now with more players and better tools but still needing to test them.
we'll see ^^ i'd be highly impressed if they can somehow trace everything, that's for sure
Holy crapoly: https://youtu.be/mAjoDP5EigE
they just don't care as long as they get away with it lol
i heard they really like Winnie the Pooh though ๐งธ
EBC is in full epic Rosarium now ... That video is wild.
Game carshes every few minutes, what an unplayable shitshow.
guys why cant find the main quest line after i finished the quest? NPC Workhand Nobles
this dupe is a good time to bring up the fact that copying archeages top heavy gear scaling should be thrown out.....that was in-game to encourage rmt and blowing up weapons enchanting, a complete FOMO mess noone liked. There's no reason this gearing system shouldn't scale lower on the top end...more akin to Albion.....
Hardware problem.
Of course...
pvp mmorpgs that have such heavy gear differentials always fail
Got exactly the same issue
Is there a setting or something I can change so I don't have to mash the auto attack / E constantly?
Settings, gameplay. You can enable auto attack after melee and range attacks.
thank you
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-14650HX, 2200 Mhz, 16 Core(s), 24 Logical Processor(s) and 4050 rtx and i still get 50 fps
is it really certain areas that if you go and farm you will constantly get dc? or is it my impression? IM GETTING SUPER FRUSTRATED
it's not constantly but around heavily occupied poi's you crash more yes
alooot of people crash around oak often
i stole it
why can i still not launch game lol gives me some stuff about EAC and a initalizing time out
how do i get access to ask questions in artisan chat?
go to the website and link your aoc account to your discord
Why I keep get kicked out of the game :/
7 people in the queue, 1 person every 20 minutes ๐
RIDICULOUS LAG
why my game keep suddenly crash
This game keeps crashing during gameplay. I troubleshoot and it still crashes. Im considering a refund
If you got more than 2 hours of gameplay you wont get refunded , steams policy. Already tried couple of times in the last few days
Has anyone tried crafting petalshard using all epic rubies, common everything else, with an epic elixer/gem gelato at around 1000 power and seeing the result? Wondering if the Codex is stilla accurate
do we have news from Intrepid studio about this insane crash and queue?
Im having trouble finding where to link accounts to open up access
thank you!
4 hours of queue passed 72->38 thanks joeva for random crash. Is this line simulator or something? Please add option to teleport to random node instead of this.
Hello! Are summoner strong class currently?
yes
how come i cant chat in any of the alpha two channels?
Did you read the bit that says read me first
Are there any devs online or are we wasting energy here?
is there any way to report bots??
use them as farm. go there, get flagged, the bot will automatic attack you if you are close, kill it and take free gold ๐
Crazy that they also got anticheat engine and from week 2 bots managed to start spamming gold sell and this lag is unbearable jesus christ
Ey there around maybe just not sure they'll respond to your random lag problem in newcomer chat, they're probably deep diving into this dupe thing that someone brought up
Its not just my problem im guessing is more or less 30-40% of players rn
Game cheating report,ID๏ผTISHECHYRKA YAPOSRAL razzledazzle ,Multi-damage Immune Control!!!!!!!!!
Where did you pluck that number from brothaaaa
From the amount of people complaining inside the server atm
I met them and said that cheating wouldn't be able to do anything to him.
The cheating issue cannot be resolved. This game is doomed.
jesus these lags. dear god
Daym, I'm sure it'll be addressed in due course. Like I say this dupe thing is probs taking prio atm
just saw a wyrmling fly by, was kinda cool. Wonder where they got that at.
is there a good way to report people for advertising 3rd party player trading?
settlement mayors get flying mounts
Game cheating report,ID๏ผTISHECHYRKA YAPOSRAL razzledazzle ,Multi-damage Immune Control!!!!!!!!! The hawk bow Boss ,Verdance Ruins,they are there now!
@open vale first one I've ever seen
Hey any reason why I do not have a quest after making my rucksack? i'm kinda just lost now tbh...
is there a way to fix queue in the city?
Well, this is one of the parts of the game that make this game great. The world is your landscape. Explore, adventure, and do what you will. While running around youll find other quests to do.
This game is doomed...? XD Is an Alpha
Better they do things like that now, then in the release it will be fixed, let the devs work and stop chinaboting
Stop cry, dont need to play if u want
ๅซๅญไบ๏ผไฝ ่ฟไธชๅ็่็ไธญๅฝๆทท่ใ
Bro theres no need to dress up shit as some prize lol. The game is in alpha I understand that. Just say there isnt a real questline and it's up to me to explore the world at this point lol. But a broken onboarding system does not "make a game great" lmao.*
Instead of making complaints about the game, why dont we do what we should be doing in an alpha game, and make suggestions, and report issues, ect...
Issues have been reported days now but no major changes yet thats the thing
@high gate ้ฆ่ไบบไธๅพๅฅฝๆญป
Hahahahahahahhaah
ๅ็่็ไบบๅฐ้ขไธดๆฟไธดๆญปไบก็ๅขๅฐ
I didnt dress anything up. I explained exactly what it is. What makes the game great is there is a lot to explore, alot to do, and you dont need to follow a quest line any way. But thank you for your opinion on how I should speak dad.
Are you mad because cant you botfarming ??
bro 50 USD, why not 30?
Cheating is you, right? I've harmed your worthless interests, haven't I?ใ
Translate with DeepL pls
Nah im not cheater but im killing your farmers on goblin zone a lot of times chinerino farmerino, go to work IRL
As I am not a DEV I can not explain to you why. However the best thing I can say is everyones gotta eat while they work on the game for us. To make an effort on anything costs money.
Then in that case you plainly just didnt answer my question... either way son, you didnt really add value...
I blocked several non-human accounts.
Sorry Dad. My best advice to you is not to play the game if you cant understand what I said to you.
how you know what is human and what not is human bro?
What weapons does PVE ranger use?
At this point I feel its best to avoid any advice from you till you learn proper comprehension, son. I still have no real answer to my question. "Is there a questline past making my rucksack?" the game is in alpha I have no idea if this is a bug, unfinished, or intentional.
It will be impossible to stop or ban them all; they move their money through auctions or other secondary functions. The devs absolutely must shut everything down now!
i pay 50 usd for have 124 queue 
u paid 50 bucks to test a game, that will get wipe, and have monthly sub.
I have already explained there isnt a quest line in a very simple way. Did you need me to expand on my response to you to understand that? Im not sure where youre confused, or possibly youre having acceptance issues with the fact that this game is still in the process of being developed. Its really not that difficult of a concept. Hence, my advice remains the same... Dont play the game, as there are concepts in the game I am sure you wont be able to comprehend, considering your backlash to a simplistic response to your question.
too many problems with pvp too, the system is broken it's not really fun
steven please halp lotharia miraleth, we need that new year power channeled into the rubberbanding issues
any way to prevent falling through merelith when logging in?
Walk outside of town. You wont lose anything, but it will respawn you back inside of the town, or just outside of town.
BAN EBC
Hey all. Does anyone know an easier spot to figure out which Sport Fishing spot is up and rolling? Is there a discord where people ping the sport fishing spot or anything?
didnt work damn
Youll see on the map there is a line in the world where the "city ends". Keep walking past that.
i got all the way to oakenbane. should i go further?
the creators no want reset server lotharia?, Miraleth is unplayable all time dc
You sound like youre probably a child so i'll gracefully bow out of this fruitless conversation with you sir.
on lyneth there are bot farms fishing and a load of lvl 14's on those 5g crate mules
i dont think a server reload will solve the problem
It literally took you 5 minutes to come up with that? I saw you typing this whole time and thought you were writing an apology letter for allowing your ego to be broken, and lashing out at me for responding to you, but this is what took you so long to write?
You really ought to use chatgpt for a better response than that.
is there a caluiclator to tell u when a chest will be up or down a tier depending on certification and rarity of resourcews?
took him a while to spell everything probs ๐
helllo why cant i talk in the aplha 2 chat
did you read the channel that says "read me first"
why can i not get in the gameee
yea, Pelune Miraleth is dead as well, waited 1 hour in queue, not 20 minutes loading screen xd
If you having problem with storage especially with gathering characters found this 1 yr old video regarding packing your items into storage crates to take up your crate storage instead of your actual material storage. Wish I knew about this sooner. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rMXhr-Qs7s
miraleth in lotharia is cooked ๐ญ
WHat tool do i need to get the skins from a creature?
this is huge wtf lol
need asia server . dev consider to make asia server?
I know right. Would of saved ALOT of wasted common materials and frustration for early crafters and gatherers if this was common knowledge. ๐
i mean if you want to gather and at least save the greens for crates later while you look for rare mats. huge.
i wonder what the benefits of an epic large crate are
Yep also means if you end up with crap loads of common ore/wood/flowers/fish and run out of space you can crate them into crate storage using crafted crates and save them for town buy orders to farm citizen rep later, construction crates for buildings in town, mayor comissions or for making crates for muling. Like you said its huge and wish more new players knew about it, would saved me ALOT of frustration at the start.
Honestly they should add it as part of crafting tutorial. A lot of new player frustration comes from having to micromanage inventory and storage very early on especially if you gathering.
it really suck traveling across the map only to have your journey screwed because you get stuck in a rock and have to unstuck. transportation suck man ๐ญ
have anyone ever got a mystic lense recipe drop? been killing monsters that should drop it for ages but never got it
ive played bdo for 5 years and never touched the story line
Someone support the game by gifting me it lolol
i have been in queue for 2 hours and with this rate ill be here for 3 more
Is there a benefit to going full 2h versus 1h/focus in terms of phys weapons. Is it typically the 2h will just hit harder on average or can you sort of achieve better speeds and similar power with a 1h/focus combo?
Does Ashes have a Tank shortage for general content in the endgame ?
Where in the world is slate. Does anyone else have issues finding it?
cant find the crate peddler in miraleth. Also i made a small crate. wont let me pack it. F
someone know how i can write on the general channel?
Damn maybe video outdated then, someone else said they lost all the items they put inside a crafted crate for storage. Might be bugged anyway. You can make them in carpentry.
i dont have the game yet but was curious how the pvp portion of the game is. Do i lose everything i have worked for and that person gets the spoils or do i lose my crafting materials i have grinded so hard for and some durability?
its kinda unique for an MMO to have open world pvp though (which is dumb) but is that actually how that is or is it sections of the map that have better loot and higher concentration of materials?
you drop a portion of your mats inventory and take gear damage
yikesssss is it area specific or can someone just kill me right out of a safe zone?
you have pvp protection for the most part
ima save you time. There is no PVP areas in the game. The only pvp avalible are people griefing OR you're ganking them in the ocean where everyone is flagged. pvp atm is just ganks and griefs
Ashes of the Unemployed
i see and griefers are my problem because I ALWAYS come across them in every game and never get a break from them which kills my motivation on any game with pvp in it
if they had other ways for people to pvp there would be less griefing but as it stands. no pvp zones work so people find their own pvp and its usually grief
There's no PvP, just get your settings right and noone will kill you not worth going corrupted its a pack running fishing simulator currently
7 hours of queue after crash in joeva moved from 72 to 26. STEVEN PLEASE FIX THIS ADD ABILITY TO JUMP TO RANDOM NODE INSTEAD OF 10H QUEUE
noted ty ty for the response i think i will hold off on this game until they make it like New World PvP or something similar where its all optional no matter the zone or area your in with some bonuses to PvP (hopefully a dev is watching this chat lmfao)
i mean im having a ton of fun killing people and taking their crates. They arent. just how it is atm lol. i hope they are watching. i dont hate the game. its just the only pvp i got
yeah i cant play an MMO with forced PvP myself i dont have the time to waste like that unfortunately
noone is stealing crates unless you are teaming with a level 5 alt to mount kill stop lying
I do believe i just fell through the center of the world.
tell that to the pople crossing the water flagged for 2 mins
ops xD
tisk tisk
thats all supersimple make part of zones with pve only with bad rewards, part of zones with flag system with average to good rewards and part of zones with autoflag like islands now with best rewards and all those who cry now about forced PVP will stop crying that they cant play and finally start PVPing in autoflag zones for their progression not being as slow as it is in PVE only zones or overcrowded flag-only PVP zones
guys any ideas how to fix this black screen after character selection because i tried everything at this point
how do i fix the falling through the floor of the town bug?
duper
how can I talk in the alpha two general chat?
Hey. So Im considering buying the game. I know its an alpha / ea and I have no problem with that, but there are some things that stoping me right now. Would ask you all - even with wipes, how are u all enjoying game-test? I hope game wouldnt end like a scam or in foreverEA like some others (Im super disapointed with Pantheon for example).
How is the population? How many players from EU? Are there EU servers, worth to play on EU or just join some more populated USA server? If so, how is the ping?
"/global"
100% not a scam. I love this game, over 100h atm. EU and NA servers have alot of players! Ping for both servers are good. Germany here, EU Server 17ms, NA Server 40ms
Hundreds even thousands on at all times and wipes are more fun then youโd think lol itโs fun tonrestart with everyone and see everyone leveling and building nodes again
I have no problem with wipes, I understand its test.
BUT, price is high, even for supporting the game at this point, like AAA game price, and u know how it is - even with 2h steam return policy - 2h is not enought to test MMORPG if its worth.
i just hit 20 anyone know and good sets for a tank?
The reason I personally don't think its some big scam is because Steven has his face infront of this business, he's on every monthly update on their twitch. Its his business and he's putting his money where his mouth is. Its not owned by some massive corporation shouting and screaming orders. If you can deal with alpha / open development, queues, crashes, glitches bugs etc ide say go for it. I could be completely wrong, its my risk with my money no ones forced me to buy the game. But thats why ide rather pay for ea here rather then other games, a very personal opinion but something that definitely won me over a couple years back when finding the game
I find itโs worth it, itโs up
To you. The population is good, few glitches, itโs a decent game right now and itโs pricey cuz your testing a game. Up to you if you value that trade off lol
Personally I disagree, I've spent more on a dinner for example thats lasted an hour hahaha. You're paying to be part of the open development not so much to play a game, ide say if money is tight or don't want to take a risk just wait for release when there's no box price and just monthly sub ๐ remember no ones forcing anyone to do anything
How I know if there is value, if opinions are all over the place righ now, and entry-price is pretty high.
If itโs that big of a deal then donโt buy it ๐ง I donโt even see it being expensive for owning it forever lol for such a massive game but if you do then just wait
Well, there is no good deal in owning something Im not gonna like and will not play, so there is the risk. Thats why Im asking how are you all enjoying the game.
lyneth avens end bugged out
Good game ๐ lol thatโs all I can say
Cant even get in the game to begin with lol
But if Eu servers are ok, thats a good thing.
Is there a how crates work guide somewhere? Itโs so complex, not sure where to start. I just want to get some to put on my mule and sell for a profit
If you donโt wanna play a game where your gonna grind for 100 hours then donโt play it lol itโs super grindy. All servers are okay lol
YouTube?
Bah. Most is crap or outdated
Idk abt that https://youtu.be/XrC190-SVRs?si=QsNkbaTgnDasMct3
Thanks! Iโll check it out.
Earn tickets by doing the buy orders at node - purchase certificate from commodity vendor (get the certificate grade you want e.g rare, common etc - fill crate at commodity station (5 fish - 12 herb or tree - 12 rock or gem) - get truckin'
Yerp
you need to get a certificate to create a crate. You can get this certificates from the marketplace vendor for another currency (tickets). These tickets you get from npc's close to any storage place. They will ask materials that you deliver and with that you get a currency. With this currency you can buy certificates from any of the marketplace cargo places. With that certificate you can craft a specialty box of that region. Thats it
reccomended places to lvl up at lvl 9
Why you telling me this idc about crates
Which EU server have polish community?
Highwayman hills, Church of the Seven Stars, or just general town commissions
Go solo oak
missclick
To be blunt its a bit of an empty grind at its core and the PvP is rather aimless, just people jumping at each other mostly or tricking each other to fight. The classes have good bones though are in need of tweaks, the mechanics are promising but the corruption system is deeply flawed and crafting is tedium given form.
Base line, if you like games with some kind of direction you'll be rather lost in this one
oakenbane keep?
Yurp
yo anyone know wtf is going on with the easy anti cheat stuff
wont let me load the game since yesterday validated files restarted computer and internet keep getting different errors all related to Easy anti cheat
there a mouse look setting ? have to move mouse 12 inches to do a full rotation lol
Sounds like a low dpi issue on your mouse
@neon ledge manually deleted the folder, check the files - pray )) Steam\steamapps\common\Ashes of Creation\Game\EasyAntiCheat
still sport fishing nodes bugged?
@outer ruin ty . i have a g600 so i uped dpi on mouse and it worked ty..
card Gtx 1660 8gb super > amd ryzen 5 4600 > ram 16 good for game low ?
anti cheat has been an issue with many games..btw give the Ds a break making a game is Hard work..pleasing everybody..ya right..lay ooff
error 37 anyone?
ye
Hey guys do i need to wait until they fixes their bugs and issues
this has to do with mira vs joeva war in lyneth server
bad anti cheat has killed a lot of games, when players can't play, and bots are free to hack, your game and hardwork means nothing.
we should all be concerned about this main issue
lyneth dead
I saw a allot oh bots fishing just sayin
Is there a Bard Discord for Ashes of Creation?
whats the best solo class?
I donโt think bots afk fishing is a bad thing because it doesnโt take anything away from anyone. And they are using built in mechanics
Till they sell for RMT ๐
I mean honestly is afk fishing even that profitable??? Bigger issue is the DUPING not afk fishing bots
using server resources is the bottom line IMO
Mmmm, lotsa reports of duping ๐
Ok that is a valid point I didnโt think of that. If the server is unstable due to FISHING BOTS then that is an issue. But is that actually the case?
no , it is part of it,so many people trying to get along ..I hope, any Massive game has issue of boundries ok?
What are the other parts? Iโm truly curious I am new to this game
what even is that screenshot from
China - Do you think no-one else knows ?
pretty normal for a MMORPG
I SAID yestarday there will be wipe just u wait
oh shush, alpha 2 remember?
im pretty sure wipe is not real, maybe rollback
Brother they cant keep a track on materials be realistic pls rollback is imposibble so many players its not like phases only wipe can solve wipe and ban cheater and fix dupe
There will be wipe in some point
I was in line for 9 freaking hours to see CODE 16
wipe = daed game till complete release cuz game is oldschool and progression is slow, noone is going to play wipe after wipe after each dupe
my brother they have full legandary rosarฤฑum set with 2 legendary weapons on their hands slow progression what u mean ? they fucked up the game
i mine for 4 hours max ฤฑ get 1 legendary stone meanwhile this fuckers duping them
Lvl 10 and the only mainquest i have is lending a hand no clue where to go for main quest progression anything i should be doing specifically?
how do I make items that require jungle certs? Arent there just encampments out there?
LF 1 Cleric for ROS msg me for invite in game Liqua
fair progression(not dupe one) is slow and if they wipe online numbers will be cut by 40-50% if you dupe legendary mats sure progression is fast
What adept set should I be aiming to get for my tank from 10-20.. i find my tank has much less health than the average even though im full adept so im thinking i might be in the wrong set?
A lot of people myself included love afk fishing.
Dad of 3 so it feels good to cast the line and come back with fish and skill gain as well as overall level contribution.
My game time is limited to maybe 4 to 6 hours over two weeks. Making progress that I do feels great. Always something to look forward to do. Just hit level 10 last night so now when and if I get time to log back in I can focus on progressing the profession skills I want to.
People need to remember if your expecting WoW or FFXIV type of game this is not that. This is a actual sandbox mmo, blended and kin to archeage and Everquest. The reason is slow is on purpose. The point is the adventures you have with others ( why heavy focus in group play / social interaction ) . When endgame finally comes yes there will be raids and the like but too those interactions you made along your journey and what story will you make for you and the server your on.
going to make an alt (summoner main), thinking rogue. mostly pve and maybe some pvp later. are daggers the way to go, is there anything to be said about a 2h sword or axe or spear?
Bought the game. Gonna take a risk. So any guides for newcomer? Should I know something before I start?
refund game easy tip
WELCOME
first thing that comes to mind to me is the starting area has all the starter weapons, so pick what you want from them, they're kinda spread out around on the floor etc
secondly dont log off in major town - this is the big tip to stop them pesky queues
Balz - villages and towns develop from users, so each server is slightly different - be careful asking WHERE a certain NPC is - it will DEPEND.
BTW - anyone know for sure where The Undying skeleton NPC is ? still can't find him, near HJ I think ?
is the que bugged been at the same spot for 10 min
The queueue is dicky - helps to logout from quiet place, not busy town
How do I view the item stats from a recipe? It looks like a link but I can't figure it out.
just found the lock button
Never logout inside a city they have limited character slots will have to wait for 100 people to leave the block best of luck
So how far of city I should logout?
if you press page up when in game, youll have something under SW like a number, this corresponds to the server worker you're in. I believe (please correct me if im wrong people) Joeva is 36? so make sure you run out of SW 36 and into another server worker, before logging
dont play much, there will be probobly wipe becose of the dupe
whats the server to be playing on?
and they are selling duped items for real money
never seen that in video game
is it even worth playing if they are going to wipe when will the wipe be.
idk but maybe rolback but its does not looks good
Hello
legit bought the game and have been wanting to play but got on yesterday and everyone was calling for a wipe just dont wanna time sink for it to go away
I wait a bit to, i want to try out this game but seeing all those bugs and dupes i dont want to touch this
any good place lvl 20-21 mobs for solo ?
Hoy much time /played to reach max level, give or take for a necomer?
What do you do with a crate once you pack it at a station?
What kind of crate?
Construction
Walk to a construction site and click it
Hi, Iโm new to AoC. Planning to make a tank. Is there any tank guides?
why is the queue so long? I'm 200th in line and have been waiting for 6 hours. Lotharia
Sorry for dumb question, how do you find a construction site?
Are you doing the quest or just made one randomly?
One randomly, came across a packing station
Same for me, started at 180 6 hours ago and im at 62 now...
Ah just drop it till you get to a town then. They are for progressing towns
im 88 now((
Gotcha, and if I get close to a town? How/where do I deliver it?
for what i understand its zone based, and i logged out on my "main" inside a city last night. My other character thats "out in the wild" i got in without a que.
If the town is building something then you find a site and deliver it . The mayor will advertise it
but my friend gets in without waiting in line, for some reason
Still too early for much in terms of guides I'm afraid but Tanks are mercifully simple and their skill choices are either cone or single attack for the most part
don't log out anywhere near towns, queues are server worker based
yeeee i wish i had know that last night x)
if you hit PGUP key you can see where you are and server worker corresponding to it.
Would it be a bad idea to use 2hand sword instead of shield?
this crashing in oak is gotta stop man holy
Just bought the game and about to make a new account, anyone have a referral code they want me to use?
Not at all, its quite common in fact especially if you're playing solo. You do give up some stats and damage reduction from the active blocking however, you can always switch if you find it doesn't work out for you too since weapon skills are independent of character level
Would rather not make the account without at least doing someones referral code
Not sure what the benefits are but here you go, one code: 2101eb27
Gotcha, I will use it. Thanks!
Ok, used. Thanks again
No worries, hope you have a good time. I'd recommend going to the riverlands when given the choice by the way, the Anvils are still being worked on and are a tad empty
Appreciate the info, will do. Hopefully you get something out of it!
No idea, either way its all good
man I wish this game was more like Archeage
wym by this?
everyone around is just disappearing xD then we all reconnect and drop again weee..
So my GF and I packed up, renounced our citizenship in Vhalgadim and moved to Miraleth, went to the sheriff to become citizens, and neither of us can access our storage now. Did I do something wrong?
lets just make this clear. stop making games advertising big battles when you can't handle a halo 2 big team battle worth of people ya feel me.
man i was over by NA hitting trees and server crashes cmon lol
Yes. Storage in towns is tied to citizenship, and each town has their own storage...if you renounce citizenship you get locked out of the storage for that town.
yo
Have they announced first reset?
Is there any group finding discords?
why does it keep crashing
Can someone answer a question for me! How does Phy Power and Power contribute to STATS / RAW DAMAGE? Which one is better and how does this work?
same question here, so confused
I believe phy power increases your raw damage by a certain percentage, auto attacks and skills mentioning physical damage in particular. Power I'm not certain on, likely a blanket stat increasing all forms of damage?
Raw stats on the other hand are far broader effects, mouse overing them should describe what each contributes to
Anyone else keep crashing near Oak??
It helps if you think raw stats effect more but do so at lesser amounts while specific things like Phys power are specialised increases.
For example 20 Con might give 100 HP and .1 regen but 300 Health will give 300 HP
We are citizens of Miraleth now. Neither of us can access the storage though.
near the top level??
yes
which starting area is better? for gathering and general experience?
Riverlands is more completed than Anvils. Anvils is still a WIP and can be more challenging for new players. But dwarfs..... soooo... its up to you.
bottom, Im just reinstalling cause I couldnt find any crash folder anywhere in the AOC folder location (I searched everywhere in every folder for that game)
Doing the Q for 2 hour (235 -> 203) for nothing, getting disconnected saying that there an update, no update is on. Intrepid you need to do something !
hi im noob, im in samias hope trying to kill some spiders lvl 2 , but its ppl lvl 15 / 20 / 25 killing all the pulls with 1 basic... why ? where can i go im lvl 4
They will be back to work on Monday I assume
Logout in QUIET place, not busy town.
go north west of lionhold there is a lot of gobelin lvl 2-3 you pull a lot and kill them until lvl 5, then go to the event angry harvest u can get good exp out of the arcane flower
ofc, just got disconnected next to joeva o/
Thanks admin, tped people out of jeova is a killer move i can finally connect !
anyone else getting terrible rubber banding?
I was, living in the south east US and the routing is actually laughable. Use exitlag or something to route better
it's actually like playing an entirely different game after i started using exit lag
What is the optimal way to upgrade crafting proffession from apprentice to jm? crafting novice items or apprentice items?
when are these crashes going to stop at oak? im over it
is there a way to fix the falling through map when logging in joeva bug?... every toon falls for like 2 mins... and for some reason I've been falling for 5 mins
spamming cheapest mat cost item, imo, and use XP scroll
Sometimes I can press auto run, and move my arrow on the mini map around, i keep doing that for a bit, then wait, maybe jump a few times, possibly toss in a roll or two. If you can move a bit, and just wait, it might resolve.
hi, just bought ashes of creation today and have not been able to play the game due to the game crashing in the starting area, then my pc just started power cycling and giving me a motherboard code of C5 which has to due with ram but my computer was working just fine now it seems bricked?? any help would be appriciated
tried moving, not roll though gonnatry and hope it resolves
Is there any use for animal bones from skinning atm?
is the instant random crashes consolidated to only oak area right now?
devs fix ur lag holy man
you gotta get a vpn it seems'
i ahve exit lag but that shoudl improve it
best xp locatin for lv 19?
game is fucking full of cheaters, and ppl abusing bugs
probaly desert
thats the reason why its a alpha
(TO ALL NEW PLAYERS) Don't go on Server [US Resna] Server is Ruined, dupers everywhere and the economy is broken. just FYI
so what they gonna do?! wipe everytime some group-guild start to bug abusing ?! thats a fucking joke
cheats and lag.
its good to wipe
- Its not a game 2. It IS an alpha test build 3. This isnt the first time, or last time, there will be dupes/exploits. 4. Thats the purpose of alpha testing. To find these things and develop systems to prevent them and track them so it doesnt happen in launch.
i want to change classes,
Probably the dev noticed this kind of problem and is doing her best to fix it
so its not a game?!, ok great, im so dumb for pay 40eu for a stupid alpha test then
There is a ton of info on the Steam Page about what to expect, and a video, i think it was like 5 min?
This is not a released game no. This is an unfinished game, still in development.
Sounds like you are dumb you paid to be a tester lol
As we say on our side of the pond "in for a penny, in for a pound" you may as well just crack on now pal ๐
the game still in alpha but it's a good game, give a chance, salary need to be paid, for a good game, i dont mind paying that, look aion 2 it's a disaster
He gonna go back to playing Final Fantasy or WOW probably
im not saying that the game is a shit or dont worth to play, what im saying is that the game is fully of bug abusers and ppl flying around, why ppl is not getting a ban?!
or just switch servers?
Ofc, but, it's an alpha, play your game, this will be patched, abuser get banned too
If i compare it to other things like smoking cigarettes and pay for that, it was more worth yes๐
I've been looking ppl doing this shit for more than a week
Get off that server. Until bans, itโs bad.
did you report ? film it or report the abuse
have a screnshot of one guy flying in the middle of the sea
!cs Thats exactly what Intrepid wants, pics of the baddies. You can submit that with the link below. These reports will help them.
Include more keywords after this command to search for answers to some of our FAQ (ex. !cs password reset), or open a Customer Support ticket directly here if you are having account or technical issues: https://support.ashesofcreation.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
as i said, it's an alpha, abuser will come by with, maybe we will get a wipe if nobody report that so that's our duty to do it
This is the Creative Director, this morning. Give it some time and let them cook up their fixes.
The tank with the fortitude buff and 3 heavies for Fighter stats is the most OP and enjoyable build I ever had, beating people 4 levels higher than me even
great question
I wonder when people will realise how broken the class is, lol
oak was cursed af but nowhere else had the drops for me all day
i keep getting error code 37 when trying to load character
Hi all. Question: most groups need a tank + cleric + bard right?
Every group
saga is god
Do cleric and or bards struggle doing solo content?
that is optimal. it can be played without this, but not as well
bard can solo fine if you can dodge and use your stuns.
o/ The server I just made a character on is gone. How do I get back on it?
Resna?
Yeah resna is poofed was haveing connection issues then when i loged back in it was gone
bard struggles less than cleric, but i think they do better than other classes solo
any one know if there going to add the Tulnar Race ?
How do we get access to server specific channels?
resna is rebooting. will be up in a few
i hope this fixes the lag..
I donโt understand why theyโre only restarting resna
more than anything else i want to see master crafting lol. papa needs a new fishing pole.
and the Oak crashing
i think oak crashing was them restarting the server
Resna was very very bad for me a couple hours ago. Laggy AF and textures were being a punk. I would imagine other servers were too
I mean thatโs happening because the server is too populated and the game canโt handle it. Restarting is not a fix for that.
Thanks for the answers, y'all!
Restarting still helps. It reduces the amount of polution on the RAM and drives. Just not a fix
Resna been bad all day
I guess better than nothing for now.
That is my thought ๐
anyone else getting bad lag/ rubberbanding? server select only showed 13 ms latency, and my system is well over recommended specs so i dont get it
Servers are smoking
im already on resna, what makes resna the worst. Is there a duping glitch specific to resna?
they just need to ban EBC
where do i check server status for resna
same im super new but resna has been fine for me
They said 30 mins like 10 mins ago
Resna has been mostly fine for me. It has moments in areas where it has a HUGE amount of people in that area
Will the wars still be going on when Resna comes back? Was kinda lame imo
I think it would depends whether they stop the time or if it goes to a sandbox to implement whatever
yeah the kill count was not working.
Yoooooooo
well if you have been on it for a while then my comment dose not apply to you would it
Whats the best melee weapon for Cleric? I can't decide what to use
the one with the most healing power/crit and aesthetic you like
lol Pussies Runing from resna = Winsted b4 server went down lol and you have been playing this game for so long yet you guys so bad lol
i believe he asked you a question dude no need to be snarky
EBC, Polar, and the bots on Resna are insane. The amount of duping, exploiting, and bots should concern anyone... on any server.
ok im tardy to the party, what happened to resna?
I have a desert spear on my healbard for the healcrit but it's just stats. Book of stealing your mana is life.
beats me
my question to you was what seperates resna from every other server? just chance that there are more dupers on there or is there something that supports\ people duping on resna?
I dont get the point in doing that stuff in alpha..
Anyone know where i can find good slate Spawns in the riverlands?
Winsted was at war b4 the server went down bunch of noobs wining against vets GG lol
Where do I turn in stolen goods lol
Up by the griffons I see slate sometimes
you just vend it like usual
war....... war never changes.........
I mean do people steal people stuff and go stealth until the combat/flagged is turned off ?
Alpha is for testing if you don't test everything your donkey
IMPOSSIBLE MAKE A WAR WITH THIS LAGGGGG!
my god can they hurry up and bring resna back up
lol there should not be war in an alpha test....when should they test it then lol
every time someone says resna they add 3 mins to the downtime
ok and when they are found and proven Report and move to a new server that simple no one wants to grind for hours just to find out a whole guild duped end game Armor and weapons and get one shot.
LAG OF LAG OF LAG FULL LAG!
bro i need it
Please @gritty elk add a report options when you right click a player name in game lol
they cant "just " add a report button they need some one to read the reports
Vets blame lag because of them not been able to keep up with noobs funny
respectfully maddawg i dont think you understand what im saying, by recommending new players dont play resna (specifically) you imply that resna is the only server with dupers or the most dupers. again my question is why are ONLY recommending players not to play on resna? do all of the other servers not have duping?
When are they going to fix this shitty fucking game with log in ques. Dont make the mistake of logging out in a city. Itโs a fucking 5 hour Que.l for 3 days in a row. Causal players are not welcome apparently
TBH Resna should just be wiped.
they all should be wiped, as soon as hunting/farming/husbandry is released
just...stop dude
This guy spams this shit in game also lol
Where resna?
Great game for loving cock
my rogue does
being wiped xD
Yeah we got dozens and dozenz of cheated legendary kits on the field... yes i think thats a wipe.
Dude saying he loves cock wild
You must be the mayor you love cock that much
Steven ๐
AoC
โ 5:16 PMSaturday, January 3, 2026 5:16 PM
Resna will remain under maintenance for an additional 15 minutes.
Where Resna Steven?
Aditional 15 mins
I bet it has something to do with the 4 wars that are explotiong the mayor vote. crazzzzzyy Mid day shut down vs the late night. sus lol
well for one i understand what your saying. two its the only server to be reported so i cant speak on other servers i just know i spent a lot of hours on Resna and got a char to lvl25 just to find out there's no point to pvp when you can get one shot by everyone in one guild.
Bruh fighting 1v50 and still expects to have a chance and not get oneshot
lol
Yep, they found a way to also not take damage or to re heal which is awesome " sarcassm". Or to attack others that arent in pvp and kill them lol
thank you, that makes more sense to me, i was unaware as ive only been playing for around a week, it is unfortunate that people are abusing this. Although im not surprised as this is a test wipe correct?
alpha is here to discover these issues and resolve them before release. imagine duping leggo gear in prod..
no there's not going to be a wipe not that i have heard or seen.
Every single aspect of the game obligates you to group yet i see some people thinking its a casual thing to play by them selves go pick on someone then get ganked by his group/guild and then complains. where is the common sense
there are three placeholder skills. they damn well better wipe when they are released or it's just going ruin the concept of testing.
Yes this is a test wipe. Alpha 2
correct
AND - we get to PAY for it too ๐
anyone on resna got any of the rosethorn set ?
add staves
resna still down rip
I've seen someone shouting lol
let me correct myself there will be a wipe eventually just not anytime soon
They said extra 16mins 10mins ago
BAD WAR SYSTEM, VERY BAD!
is it any good for bard, im new so trying to figure out gear and stats and stuff. i know alot of people are just running heavy
@unkempt mortar there lol stop shouting shit in game now
Top notch feedback there
something to keep in mind with the whole 'everyone's gonna run heavy by endgame' thing.
Magic weapons exist for melee too. Go all phys, watch that magebreaker squad rip you apart.
First Server Maintence this evening. Where can you find when its back up and running
I'll do what I want. It's strange that you want to protect all them cheated assets, whats your in game name?
Another 30 minutes rip
@gritty elk s Devs wanan tell us what this emergency patch was? thats taking so long in the middle of town wars or nah That keeps getting extended lol. Are they fans of polar ? lol
Probably item database cleanup
sql slow
not protecting shit lol but just because you got ganked while red lost gear does not mean server reset lol
If we were more transparent with Resna's downtime I could of had my night off be tomorrow, but I already committed. There is always next weekend!
is resna still down?
Does anyone know what kind of gear a summoner should wear?
they've been very transparent lol just look in the news chat. devs don't come to newcomer chat to chat
Go to #alpha-two-news check 4 your self
Hows the Vyra server?
If my weaponsmith lvl is 10, i can up to Apprentice?
hello how goes it
Only Resna down is what i understood
Yes
Yes becuase of town wars lol
How come no response after i clicked the option from the foreman
Is it because this server has the most people?
Guys whats best spot for lvl13+?
You need to go to apprentice station, like Joeva
I hope it has less to do with the town wars and more to do with the fact that Polar, EBC, and the bots are ruining the server and eventually the game.
Well there was one guy on a dragon that that was up to like 50 kills while joeva the biggest town could only get like 5 kills it was weird
what channel do we need to go to to get the updates on the servers?
Crab event by the coast.
Yes Bots, POLAR ASs kissers and EBC acting like the IRS lol
So not all foreman can do the job?
Where is it? Can you send me a photo by map?
There was a lot of talk about dupping crates as well as duped or glitched gear as well
we were killing them though, just wasn't registering.
Yea something was super broken or off there
thank you @mild vigil
Not really i think it was more of a point added point taking situation depending on the kills
also for the record the guards hit like a flipping truck. i took 210k by accident..
whats the maintenance on resna for?
If that's the case it's not what the In game updates and score board was showing
I think vets cried out because they were getting shitted on by noobs
all kills are counted for war, it's a get to x first. nothing is removed.
๐ป
i'm going to hazard a guess that it's to deal with the rampant legendary item duping.
i'm dreaming of a resna where I can log out in joeva and not expect 30 mins to get back in.
More towns are currently getting their buildings destroyed.......
Did lyneth crash?
servers are going down for maint
People been screaming for restarts all night so guess they'll finally be happy lol
yay for being the guinea pig
pelase fix resna lag man
Think they're a bit busy prioritising these duping shenanigans
just had our first territory control war...
Really...really bad idea to have that enabled when you know the servers cant handle it. U wanna lose players? Well thats how you lose players.
whoever thought it was a good idea to leave that system enabled... Not smart honestly. Good way to chase away players that steam has brought over.
worst expereince of a PAID monthly sub beta ive expereicned
Can you level 1-25 with purely gathering?
Yes in theory but no in practicality
Dagrim yes,, yes you can but will take forever, i have gotten half a lvl of 24 just from gathering/processing
Some people gather the market for a living
would it make me rich af though?
Dude it was a total crapfest... rubberbanding all over the place, enemies spawning INSIDE your town... ppl going corrupted despite killing properly flagged war combatants...
We dont have to worry about our settlement being overpopulated now tho, with how many ppl are logging off, and are likely not gonna come back
Not really
Hd
When is wipe ๐
not before 1 year and half or 2 years.. its before the release
Lot of people in server saying a wipe is happening in the next week
if the shit wipes im not restarting ngl lol
Well it's for sure going to wipe atleast once, probably a couple of times though tbh. I just don't think it's happening next week.
930 on a saturday is a wild time to bring the servers down
Frail mental honestly. If this shit wipes I'm doing it all again but better
is there any post about why servers are coming down?
Yes, check #alpha-two-news
long overdue mainenace
Hopefully to fix the inability to get into storage that has been PMO
There's been reports and speculation of people duping. Now they're taking servers down. Steven has said he will fill everyone in asap. Keep your eyes on the news channel n such
Use caravan masters. They open storage too with no delay
its down the server?
no we just all decided to chat here instead
Good to know thx, I am only level 9 tho so can't quite do that yet
I swear if people keep giving away the secret and the caravans storage becomes bugged to ill be a unhappy bunny haha ๐คฃ๐คฃ
I get you man but at the same time I'm not going to gatekeep storage access.
Hey, anyone knows how to get permission to write in alpha-two-general chat?
RNG to get into storage has gotta be top 3 PMO things at the moment. Like one time I legit tried 100+ times
how long has this been going on
heyo
Nooo definitely im just messing bro, ide rather people played and got in then rage quit haha
