How many (if any) purely cosmetic clothes will be provided for everyday town wear? Both WoW and FFXIV had some level one crafted gear that just looked like pretty clothes that could be worn for roleplay and casual appearances.
So not like armor, but like informal and formal civilian clothes for each race that they can wear about town if all they do is craft.

there are cosmetics like that
how many there will be is impossible to answer right now

Hello! i wonder, will you have toggle pvp on or is it always on? won't big guilds just run around and kill everything ? classic wow had fun solo pvp experiences but also horrible being 20 to 1. and being corrupted what's the point if you get flagged and a raid group comes and hunts you down right away. I mean, it doesn't sound too much fun, even if you've been corrupted? 🙂
short flint
Hello! i wonder, will you have toggle pvp on or is it always on? won't big guild...
Corrupted is not designed to be a "fun state" to be in. Corruption is a punishment, plain and simple. It's there to curb people's desires to murder hobo 24/7. That is why there is the PVP Flagging system and also PvP systems where flagging does not matter and there is no penalty to kill the others.
The PvP System is always on in most places (very few safe zones) meaning anyone can engage you. The PvP Flagging system you toggle on and off is your ability to attack other players so you don't accidentally flag on someone when killing mobs.

@short flint thank you, I mostly refer to classic wow as I liked to, for example, fight against the enemy faction about mobs quest etc. and how do I know if I'm purple and want to fight another purple, do you see it? I myself am always pvp toggle on. and lastly if a 40 man raid with purple ganks other purple is there any punishment in that? i mean thats the worst ganking
desert ivy
There's no punishment for attacking and killing other purples since you're both flagged as combatants

Hey @alpine whale we're not planning to have a "PvP toggle" that lets you opt out of PvP. In the open world, players can choose to attack you.
In addition to what @smoky sapphire linked above, based on your player flag status it changes what happens on player death. More info on this here: https://ashesofcreation.wiki/PvP#Player_death

In your case, your main concern is going to be deciding if it is worth while to fight back, or not. If you are green and a non-combatant and you see 40 people ganking you, you are dead anyway. Dont flag back and punish them by giving them corruption. If you are purple or red constantly, expect to get every fight whether it be fair or not, coming your way.
vale cape
Is there gonna be any use for XP after level cap?
warm onyx
Grinding off corruption xp debt
If you mean quests giving more gold since you get no xp, I don’t believe this has been neither confirmed nor denied
vale cape
Yeah I don't wanna use the term paragoning especially in the sense of vertical progession but was curious if xp from all your normal sources was still gonna be relevant some way, wich continuously seeing that precious little bar fill up towards some kinda of reward is always lovely... or xp just completely gone. Or perhaps as you said another way continuously reward even the little things still .

There will always be something to grind and bars to fill

I guess I'm asking about maybe any system like the way maybe GW2 continues their progression after cap.

Not a lot from what we've seen, in A1 the only major invisible wall was at the edge of the A1 testable area (and becomes visible when pressed against), and all the mountains in the playable area of A1 / APOC were climbable
There were also some examples of things like pits in dungeons that if you fell into you'd just die vs walking into an invisible wall that stops you from falling into pit

I'm a little concerned that I don't have time to follow the development as closely as I might, and I wonder if much through is put into how accessible the game will be to new players who have not seen it at all before, and how much of a first mover advantage people will have who have followed every step of development.
I'm also keenly following support for Steamdeck, because although I likely won't play on the deck much, I likely will want to play on my desktop with Proton.
ebon depot
I'm a little concerned that I don't have time to follow the development as close...
there are sites out there, such as https://ashes101.com/, that collate the information and present it again in a new player friendly format.
Once, or just before, the game goes live, give it a quick read over and you will be all caught up with the important stuff
fallen thistle
Not that it's necessarily a good example especially not any more, but Wow for example, has a fairly low barrier to entry, even in the early days when it was pretty brutal to reach max level... and so I do hope ashes will be similar, as an MMO is really dependent on having a good sized player base.
I apologse, I know these aren't really framed as questions, but.... thanks for taking them as such!
silk tapir
yeah that's a dead example thanks to raider.io and 10000 systems in systemlands. i hope people will try to enjoy the game as is in every stage of their characters progression as end game is not the only content
fallen thistle
I've not played wow since the end of burning crusade, IMO, they just decimated the community in favour of getting more, younger players in... and made it easy enough that no out of game community was needed... I really hope that doesn't happen here.

Question it may have been mentioned already but I would love a clarification. Mana for casters will you have to manage your resource pool? Back in the day when I first started playing WoW you would have to make sure you kept your mana up in a fight or risk oooM running out. This was realistic and loved it. Retail WoW you never seem to run out of mana it's endless and it really turned me off to caster classes.
Awesome I am extremely happy to hear this 😁
dusk token
is your mana pool large enough such that you should theoretically not run out during an encounter if played optimally?
dark jungle
it very much depends on the encounter
some will be hugely magic or damage intensive, requiring lots more mana for spells or healing
dusk token
is it a fast mana regen system like the LoL energy regen or lost ark, or slower like LoL mana regen with large pool
dark jungle
again it varies based on your stats, gear, tattoos, and a hundred other variables
also players can work together to pool resources (mages could give +mana to healers in alpha 1 for example)

is there a limit in how fast you can turn your character to attack someone?
dark jungle
the speed of your mouse
smoky sapphire
also depends if your character is busy doing something
stuck girder
so while running away from a player who's attacking me, i have to jump, turn, attack and turn back before landing 
dark jungle
it depends on which class you play as to what escape/evasion moves you have
a mage for example can blink away, rangers can leap away etc
melee classes have different moves as well

blink wont matter if the other person also have dashes

depends on how far

junior ember
<@866827095598432256> can we apply guild cloaks (from LoM+) to costumes?
What ...
Guild cloaks will work the same way that accessory appearances from the cosmetic packs work, in that they are applied to the item and take over that appearance. They can not be applied over costumes.
The same goes for guild / mount barding. The mount skins are applied to the mount, and barding (think of it like an accessory appearance) can not be applied over the mount skin.

You may want to double-check yourself on this. For starters, mount barding is a crafted item that goes on a mount and cosmetic skins go on the crafted item to change its appearance not the appearance of the mount.
Additionally, I don't believe guild cloaks would prevent a player from using a full-body cosmetic skin. That's a terrible business model, That's telling people "sorry you bought that cosmetic but you have to be in this guild you have to wear this cloak and look like a bum"
dark jungle
He is saying that barding skins (worn over the top of in-game barding) cant be worn over the top of mount skins (worn over the top of in-game mounts). But yes worthwhile checking.
It was always stated that costumes are full body appearances that override all other gear appearances. Steven himself said that. And Margaret as well.

Can I change my alpha 2 pack to the new one that just arrived....doing it because of the stuff you get.....is this possible without a refund?

if you have a pre-order pack already you can individually pick the cosmetics from the current pack

How do I do this?

Ok thanks

How do I do this?
You have to buy them though. In your case if you bought the pack less than 90 days ago I'd just refund your current pack and then buy the new one when the refund goes through

Then you get the cosmetics that weren't included in your current pack. For example if you upgrade from Voyager to Voyager Plus then you'd get the Caravan, Costume, and Freehold skins in the new pack but not the Mount, Pet, and Accessory because your original pack included those

Hello I have two questions about the housing system; I thought that if a node was destroyed the house would be destroyed or something, how does that work for Freeholds? Do you have to rebuild everything or something? Repay? Relocate ?
Second question is: Can a freehold house have two « admins » or more ? Life if you are a family or a couple playing AOE, would you be able to share a house with the same rights over it ?
tender hearthBOT
dark jungle
the answer is complex, so i refer u to the wiki for the full picture

Second question is easy enough. No sharing of admins, but you can give permissions to who you like.

Forgive me if this is a dumb question, but I'm a bit uncertain on what the xp debt/loss of xp by death implies as a whole. Does it mean that if my character is, say, level 35, would the character just lose some of their progress on the way to level 36? Or would it go so far as to knock the character's level back down to 34?
Ahh ok thanks. I was looking at the wiki earlier but wasnt finding that exact detail.

You all probably hear this a lot, but how far along is the development? I'm not very well versed in the meaning of like alpha and beta and stuff, all I know about it is that it's a testing period for the game
Note this isn't me asking for a release date, I'd just like some help understanding what's going on I guess? 😭
I'll give this a read, thank you 😄
smoky sapphire
The alpha 2 is going to be incomplete as it starts. Mostly tests for barebone systems and as it evolves it will slowly get more and more features until it is closer to feature complete. Then there will be two beta test for catching bugs. Then there will be release

As for how far away the development is going, we don't have all the information but I highly recommend looking at the livestreams of 2022.

Qustion regarding exp. debpt as mentioned in the death penalty article on the wiki
quote: "Experience debt will scale to approximately 2 or 3 percent of the total XP for a max level player. These numbers are subject to change based on testing.[23]"
Question: How can you suffer exp debt if you are max lvl already? Will you be able to de-level if you die enough times?
warm onyx
Can’t de-level. That’s why it’s xp debt and not xp loss
Your stats will suffer even if you don’t lose a level so you will want to work it off

stable plover

There are story arcs and a meta narrative. There will be places where you would die if you tried to explore at a low level solo, but I suppose if you had high level players guarding you as a level one it might be possible to sneak through most areas. I don't think we've heard if instanced areas will have a level requirement.
warm onyx
Also there will likely be areas that require items of sorts (like the amulet so you don’t die from the constant fire damage in order to fight the final boss in A1). Think of it as attunement.

If for example a server had been open for a month or two, would a new player joining be put into a world where they cannot progress the storyline from the beginning due to other people completing those "world events" already whilst doing their first playthroughs?
I struggle to understand how new players would join into a world already pushed into the highest level world events, or will they simply not be affecting the starting area's/story until your character reaches a certain point?

There will still be low level events. The starting areas (directly around the divine gateways) exist outside of the node system/are static across servers. Servers track their history for new/existing players to view at in game libraries. New players won't change what's already happened on a server, but can affect what happens once their playing.

The initial cosmetic pack is one per account.. if you are looking at the store... after you buy a pack then you can purchase the cosmetics of the same tier as the pack you get but it is individual cosmetics... you can get the lower tier packs as well and then will have option to upgrade to the higher tier pack with just paying the cost difference
You can have more than one account but do not believe there would be a way to have more than one initial pack at the highest tiers items applied to the same account more than one time.
@cosmic fjord so in short... can only have one pack applied to a account at a time and there is no option to buy a pack multiple times for the same account so no 😦

Hello there! Total newbie here with a couple of questions:
-
Is there a system for hiring "Bodyguards" or something? Maybe a Blackboard to hire people to protect Karawans and stuff like that?
-
Can you "freely" interact with furniture? Like sit on every chair instead of certain chairs?
-
From what I have seen, all the clothes look very immersive and beautiful! Fitting for the World. Was there any Statement if this will consequently stay that way? Or will players be able to buy immersion-breaking clothing?
tranquil willow
Hey
- Yes, you can hire NPCs for multiple things, including bodyguards for certain objectives: https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Mercenary_NPCs
- Not sure if they stated "every" chair, but they want a lot of RP to be present, so expect to be able to interact with most furniture: https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Furniture#Housing_decorations
- Yes. They don't want immersion breaking cosmetics: https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Cosmetics#Armor_appearance
Specifically for the statement:
"Armor will not be overly sexual in appearance.[94]
I'm more of the mind that it wouldn't really serve a purpose to have bikini plate armor, just in like reality, if you're going to have armor, it should be protective. I think from a fashion statement is enjoyable for some people, but it's a kind of an immersive issue.[93] – Steven Sharif"

Any idea how long Alpha 2 will last? Wondering if it is worth buying the voyager pack or if beta 1 would likely come just a couple months after
onyx knoll
Alpha 2 is planned to be a persistent test phase, it'll be available until the game's launch then convert to the PTR servers
we don't know when it'll start tho
grim basin
Gotcha, yea I guess my question is if there are any estimates for how long alpha 2 will last because the beta 1 package is $100 cheaper so if alpha 1 were only going to last a month or two id probably view it as worth it to just wait
But if we’re talking like +4 months of alpha spending the extra $100 is probably worth it to me
Sorry meant alpha 2*
onyx knoll
Hard to say for sure, the alpha 2 will last as long as they need it to to test what needs testing

Good question from Asgerr, on the AoC forums. I'm paraphrasing: Once a mount is killed is it gone for good? The wiki seems to indicate that a mount that is killed can be resurrected.

Quick question about nodes.
What's stopping a large group of organized players from flocking to a single node making its population substantially larger than its neighbors, thereby dominating all node warfare in the future?
Wouldn't that create a big imbalance issue?
dark jungle
that will just enable them to affect that node. it wont allow them to dominate all node warfare
thick owl
They can get more players to raise their node level by destroying zerging the other nodes though right?
Since a node level is limited by it neighbors
dark jungle
if you can coordinate thousands of players you could manipulate the game yes
thick owl
Well there's only like 8-10 k players per server, and about 100 nodes per server right
dark jungle
but there is very little reward in doing so
thick owl
You'd only need a few hundred and it's very doable from what I've seen
dark jungle
no you will need around 20% of the server population to level a metropolis

It would be an impressive feat if a guild is able to do it on an entire map scale with no teleporting, large map, nodes not benefitting guilds and other factors
arctic sky
And guild member limits
smoky sapphire
And being citizen of a node will put you in conflict with other nodes. If one guild owns a lot, members of the same guild might end up having to fight eachother for their own properties and such. It would be a remarkable feat of leadership to maintain a group big enough to own everything.

hi, i have a small but strange question, on the wiki (taming) it's said that you can use combat pets. is it possible to use those pets as dps while you go for a support class and help them plus with animal husbandry you can probably create a few nice things. (i know it doesn't work in some places like dungeons but you'll still be a support class)

Probably, just depends on what archetypes you choose. You'd most likely get combat pets from the primary...but we really don't have info for that.

This section might help https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Pets - Any archetype can have a combat pet (aka universal combat pet), Summoners can have a summon and a combat pet. Combat pets come in tank/healer/dps. Using a combat pet isn't meant to be a personal power increase (say if your dps pet can do 10% of your normal max dps, you only do 90% of normal dps while it's out).

Could players access their cosmetic mounts they had already paid for when Alpha 1 was up? I seem to recall I saw a video of a guy riding "Shell of the Ancients" - And from my understanding that was a pre-order cosmetic from June-July 2018.

On the wiki regarding Divine nodes - It says they are focused on Faith, linking to the religion section on the wiki, does focusing on faith mean they will generate some type of faith points for certain gods (whichever you choose i believe) or does it simply refer to the fact that you can select the one of six gods?

"Combat pets will incorporate some of their owner's power in a way that keeps the power progression horizontal"
"Combat pets will be levelable and will have gear available to them"
I don't get these two statements from the wiki. Aren't they counterintuitive.
If your accounts power is horizontal off or on the mount, what's the point of levelling and gearing the mount?
if you level and gear the mount, will your characters power be stronger as well even if you're not on the amount? That would be the only way it makes sense but that concept feels a bit weird. Please correct me if I got something wrong
spiral pine
Well combat pets arent mounts
vivid gyro
oh mb, but regardless, the question still stands. if you have ur combat pet out or not

Wiki said summoner pets will work differently than combat pets
stuck cape
I think it's saying that combat pets will share some of their power (But not enough to tip the balance scales of PVE content in favour of being OP) whereas those who don't want pets or haven't got any wouldn't necessarily feel the difference should they not have one, still being able to complete content. Seems like a covering their bases statement

Oh nvmi see what you mean

wary laurel
new to reading about this game but I'd hope that the line "A grace period will occur before the housing becomes available for auction" for when a node advances more means that houses will be introduces spaced out
instead one all at once
dark jungle
I hope so too. Will be interesting to test this in a2
wary laurel
Also haven't read much but I'd wonder about if you quit the game for an extended period of time
what happens to items kept in a house
because it would seem like a big detractor to trying to restart playing when it means you've lost a ton of stuff you've previously had
dark jungle
If you fail to pay your node taxes after a certain grace period the land is reclaimed and your items and blueprints get mailed to you
wary laurel
ah ok that sounds reasonable
dark jungle
If you're planning on being afk for a while you could always sell off your housing before you go
wary laurel
I mean that's true
this one also has me slightly worried
as it seems like a tool specifically designed for a mayor to be an ass to a player he doesn't like
dark jungle
Yep that's pretty much it
wary laurel
I mean at least is foreign citizens, because if you could do it to your own..
thick owl
I could see big guilds using that as leverage on others by lobbying the mayor lol
The economic node will surely be an interesting climate
wary laurel
tbh a massive issue I see with mayors and elctions
is the relationship between them and guilds
thick owl
True. Especially since the economic node mayor is decided by whoever pays the most haha
So I guess the biggest guild can control any economic node they want
wary laurel
also idk if its been talked about but mayor just seem to have dictatorial level of power and control for a month
past pivot
The system is meant for intrigue and drama, not to be stable.

wary laurel
especially considering once you get elected, there's no real checks and balances outside of people leaving
past pivot
with the node you choose
wary laurel
so just govern alright for a little while, and yoink before leaving
well if you dont care about reputation
thick owl
Could the mayor withdraw funds from the tax treasury?
I couldn't find that in the wiki
thick owl
Ah I see
past pivot
I'm looking forward to the storyline these systems can create.
Makes for memorable moments
wary laurel
I mean yeah it'll be interesting to see
as its a more dynamic world
but that can also come with some strong downsides if people choose and greed over long term growth and stability in their nodes
it just seems like the system needs counterbalances such as vote of no confidence or something to be able to remove a corrupt mayor (as tbh it sounds realistic that instead of a whole city just moving away, you could just remove the crappy person at the top).
past pivot
You're talking about these things as if you want them to be changed. Elections are held once a month and if someone sucks people will move on. Thats life

because tbh it seems really easy for a node thats been built up over months and months to just collapse from one bad actor.

Will players' ability to dye their clothes help with their stealth and camouflage or will how the UI set up works make hiding in this manner pointless?

Wearing dark clothes won't make your nameplate invisible
tough marlin
With this knowledge in mind, will dying clothing to blend into the environment (not just simply dying it black or dark blue but actually dying it natural colors) for say a wizard or ranger gathering on a hill side help or will the distance you can see someone's nameplate be essentially what you can see rendered?

From what we have been told. Nameplates will be visible from a distance

Players will have a buff on their nameplate that indicates the gear set they are wearing. Other players will be able to see this buff by targeting that player at a distance.[6][7][8]

knotty bluff
Hey Intrepid Studios, I have a question which I am not entirely sure has been answered and if it has, please direct me to the answer. So with a small group we are deciding to get a founder pack for the head start option. However not our entire group will have this pack and we still want to play together regardless. We still want a headstart but also want our friends to end up meeting with us when the initial launch happens. Has there been a certain thought process for this and if so, what is it? TL:DR (Can our friends join the same server as us headstarters?)
tranquil willow
Your friends can join the same server, but they won't be able to join during the 2 days of Headstart
They can join when the full game launches
knotty bluff
But what if the server is full because of the head start?
tranquil willow
If the server is full, no one is able to join. However, don't expect HS servers to be full. A lot of people will want to avoid them due to the advantage that HS people get
knotty bluff
I think that is your opinion, however I do want some official knowledge on the matter. Thank you for your answer though.
uneven prairie
i dont think people will avoid them cause, like us, people want to join their friends that already started
knotty bluff
Let's say there are 7k HS on one server, and all of them have their friends that will want to join them later. Not all of their friends would be able to join in this matter
uneven prairie
but if there is a good chance headstarter servers will be full we will not be buying the pre order packs cause we wont be able to play with our full group

so shouldn't be an issue to get in

Does the founder pack disappear or can I wait for alpha2 to buy the pack ?

The Founder pack is only available for people who already pledged during Kickstarter or Summer Crowdfunding, which ended a long time ago

Oops. xD Reposting.
Will NPCs try to help players or are they more or less simply reactionary? Helping via things like healing and buffing a friendly player, and attacking and debuffing a player's enemy etc. Thoughts?

In what context?
tough marlin
From village/town/city guards to caravans. I suppose this would also be asking if there are NPC factions players can align to to supplement this behavior. An example of a game that halfway does this is ESO's Cyrodiil where blue NPCs will attack yellow or red players... However blue NPCs will not bother to help blue players.

Guard's will act like guards. That's really about all I can tell you about that. Have no idea how NPC's in combat areas will work right now, don't think we tested that.
