I joke while playing that, 'I need healing too!' But that is how that game is designed. I look forward to seeing NPC behavior being addressed when the time comes. Moving along, I noticed trebuchets and catapults as siege engines, was there also siege towers? Will this mean nodes will eventually have walls and gates?

social organizations are pseudo NPC run factions

Not sure about siege towers, but trebs and such are definitely there. I mean they might get walls and stuff...might but until we actually see a metro that's just an assumption.

Some guilds recruit people who won’t play until later. Most serious guilds only recruit those with packages who have access to alpha testing. This is more of a #aoc-discussion or #aoc-guild-chat topic though
iron jolt
In my experience, there is some guild that recruit regardless of your accesses, but might be still early for some ^^

well i saw questions channel so i asked here
sleek cloud
Lol, a decent guild only needs a few people in the alphas and betas for information. Everything else can be done for free with proper management and administration. In a game with dozens to hundreds of players per guild, with 4 guilds to an alliance, you're doomed and incapable of competing if you don't have at least that decent level of administration capabilities. It's not like anyone's keeping their progress to release.

Well, your house can't just be raided, the node where your house resides has to be successfully sieged for people to ransack your house. You won't just log out 1 day and login the next to your house being gone (unless you logged out prior to a successful node siege).
The blueprints for your house also get mailed to you if its sieged

Thank you so much for the answers and help! It makes me feel better that there are nice ppl in this community
warm onyx
Tons of nice people in here. Most are likely asleep atm though haha
tough marlin
Here goes nothing.
I feel it is best to start with a disclaimer. In no way am I trying to criticize any content the devs will or will not deliver, nor the amount. Nor assume they won't deliver content. Or criticize if content will not be delivered. Having said that, let me move on.
It is a legitimate question concerning PR and player community health, retention, and relations. So I will continue and try and elaborate on my original question. I wanted to ask due to the amount of hype other planned and released MMOs initially had vs. the results after their release. ESO as an example was essentially a completed game with room for expansion. It had (and still has) its share of problems. There was a lot of criticism due to its bugs/glitches/content amount.
So I ask, are there concerns that there might be too much hype for AoC for when it is released as a 'complete' and has room to grow on its release, might receive over expectations it doesn't deserve and has plans on combatting this? People are people and people will do what they will do, But I'd like them to give things a chance and leniency for things to be fixed.
warm onyx
It’s natural for a game to launch with high numbers and have some of that population leave as they only chase the flavor of the month. If AoC delivers on 70% of what they promise, it will be a “success.” The thing is, nobody can predict for sure if they’ll launch with major, game breaking bugs that will turn away people
stuck cape
Alpha + beta should sort those bugs out imo ^
warm onyx
What’s hopeful is that Steven has mentioned many times they are a quality first studio, not timeline first. And so far they’ve been showing they are willing to delay things if they aren’t where they want them to be
Also, they plan on having Devs live in the game to help with things that come up
Vs just automated systems

when beta comes, the game should be feature complete - so beta will be smoothing out bugs and balancing gameplay
torpid quartz
I’m pretty sure Alpha 2 will be persistent through the betas up until the game launches. When the game launches it would be converted to a ptr with old characters being deleted. Betas will most likely be a ways off when alpha 2 releases most likely earliest being half a year after alpha 2.

Every invisible wall and sliding roof is a sad day. Even if it is necessary. Although being tossed into the heavens like a skyrim giant might be hilarious.
Will there be skills like athletics that might help us mountain goat up things, or is the Z axis set for everyone? Do players collide with one another? And if so, will we be able to stack like players did in Conan?
warm onyx
Such skills haven’t specifically been discussed. There is player collision. Stacking might not be an intended consequence

Collision is a thing as well as momentum so you push past people with animation is the plan
the momentum system might prevent stacking to a extent
stable plover
Every invisible wall and sliding roof is a sad day. Even if it is necessary. Alt...
Players collide with each other, no particular athletics skill ever mentioned by devs, class abilities can help you get up places though.
I don't know what player stacking in Conan is like but guessing based on your other questions, there has been some limited ability to jump off other players in A0/A1 (not as much extra height as a normal jump I'd think) but it's usually not the most efficient way to get up to a place.
tough marlin
ESO does not allow players to stack. Is not exactly parkour friendly outside of player made jumping puzzles, and has many invisible walls, lack of collision in certain places, and most roofs will make you slide off them. Conan Exiles I think did and people tried doing so to reach player made fortresses. Other games I am not sure. Politely I mean to ask, Does this clarification help?

You can submit your question closer to the monthly developer stream using the forums for Steven to potentially answer.

not sure at this point
there may be specializations within that or even different professions. info is not out yet

Ok that would make sense I guess
And also, what exactly does the scribe do? Is it only storytelling ?
dark jungle
they have some role in creating scrolls that are used by other crafters to put enhantments on

Oh so you can store enchantments in a way inside of scrolls then
dark jungle
yep, certain professions can
thick owl
That's it? A whole profession just for that ?

it will be a moneymaker if enchantments are in high demand

I dont know if this is against ToS, or if Intrepid Studios have dedicated partners for this.
But is there any site that sells (resells) previous pre-order packs?

Guild Castle Sieges should have a deserter debuff, but have an option for the attacking guild leader to call for a surrender.

the flagging system is so easily abusable
you attack someone to steal their loot
a) they fight back, thus becoming a combatant, you don't get punished for killing
b) they dont fight back, you simply get them to low health and hope they panic fight back or you back off
as someone being attacked youre incentivised to fight back because you lose more if you dont, however fighting back also means the attacker wont be punished. so sure, i could go out of my way to lose more and get the attacker punished, but who cares about that? people want to keep their stuff and thats all that matters.

It's not abuse to avoid combat and/or corruption. You choose weither or not you commit.
There are plenty of other PvP events and contexts
fallow veldt
im saying, you gain nothing for not fighting back. thus making the flagging system useless
youre punished for not fighting back in fact
smoky sapphire
You gain less penalties on death if you become a combatant.

and doing so wont corrupt the attacker
meaning the system literally doesnt work

warm onyx
There is a limited number of in-node housing. Also if the mayor decides to construct apartments, those should have a limit (but may be upgradable?). Finally, out-of-node freeholds are limited by the “zone of influence” of the specific node. As the node progresses, the ZOI gets bigger
Also, it gets more and more expensive to purchase certificates and instanced apartments as others buy in, acting as a soft cap on player housing

If you're not familiar with a monthly subscription, compare it to a service like Netflix. A monthly sub gives you a month of access to the game.
You'll be required to have an active subscription to play Ashes of Creation after launch. Before launch, during testing phases players will be able to play if they have access to that testing phase.
If you want to learn more about what we've said about our plans for Ashes of Creation's subscription model, check out the wiki here: https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Subscription_model

civic obsidian
i mean u can but its probably not the best economical way to do

digital sonnet
I cant "stack up" on game time?
If you're looking to get cosmetics over different months, doing an "add on" is probably best value for you.
Based on what tier of package you have, you can add on cosmetics that are available to the package you have. We have more information about this here: https://support.ashesofcreation.com/hc/en-us/articles/4403533317651-How-do-I-make-purchases-on-the-Ashes-of-Creation-Shop-

Yeah that wouldn’t make sense to purchase the full pack each month and it’s even technically impossible
Once you purchase a pack, all you see in the store is the add on cosmetics

They reveal the next pack a day before the current one is no longer available
So you can see what’s next before you lose your chance to buy
Also, they haven’t announced removing A2 access yet so technically there is no rush if you aren’t happy with the cosmetics
Though you are also potentially risking that you wait until the last pack before they remove it and you don’t like it

Does the pre order max tier package always come with Mount, Pet, Character Skins, caravan Skin and the house skin? or do some seasons have some things left out or added in?
onyx knoll
the only thing that can change is some months the caravan skin is a ship skin
desert ivy
If you haven't bought a previous tier before then yes, it will come with every cosmetic from that month. If you have bought a pack before then you will receive everything that wasn't included in the pack you originally bought (e.g. if you bought last months Voyager Pack and then upgraded to the Voyager Plus Pack this month you would only receive the Costume, Freehold Skin, Caravan/Ship skin since the regular Voyager Pack included an Accessory, Mount, and Pet).

I have two different caravan skins. Can I change my caravan skins as often as I want to? (One for daytime and one for nighttime) Also, can I use one caravan skin on my main and have one of my alt characters use a different one?
Also, how do the freehold cosmetic house skins impact the inside of your freehold? I have four different house skins and am wondering if the interior will change when I change my freehold house skin?
....the interior of my house...like bedrooms kitchen..etc.

This is all we know about freeholds https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Freeholds
We don't really know which freehold skin apply to what exactly and which can be entered for placing furniture and such. At least not that I remember.
I would think some buildings with skin can be entered and will keep the same layouts as the base buildings... but that's speculation we can share in #aoc-discussion

@idle siren Steven, would you be able to shed some light on my question? Will my residence skin on my home in my freehold's interior change based on the skin itself? I ask because I have purchased numerous house skins like the (HIghhearth, KIckstarter Freehold Appearance Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3, Leyline Orrery, ect.) This is a very important question for me because I need to know what happens when I change out a freehold residence skin so I can determine if I want to continue to purchase more residence skins as they become available. So, how does a residence skin impact the interior or has that consideration not been sorted out by the dev team yet?

Hey, been looking the project for a while, but every time i check the shop the cosmetics change, is there a place to look the future packs that are gonna be? so i can decide to buy it now or later, thx
ashen vault
Soy, the cosmetics change each month and then they are gone forever...so once you see something that resonates with you, I recommend you snatch it up. Sometimes during the monthly livestream or soon after, they give us a hint of the new cosmetic and let us know when it will swap over. Once it swaps over, the old one is perma retired.
That is a way of ensuring there is diversity in the looks of the game.

I'm not sure if there is a better place to suggest this, but here goes:
I saw on the wiki that there intends to be a listing fee for listing items on the marketplace. I would strongly recommend to swap this into a listing deposit: paid if it gets sold, returned if unsold.
Two examples: New World had a listing fee which would be lost if the item was unsold. This resulted in many players intentionally not listing items, especially more niche/rarer/more expensive ones, as there is a HUGE penalty in having it not be sold. This lowers the liquidity of the marketplaces, which is detrimental to the player base at large. Plus, it inevitably leads to people spamming regular chat channels with items they want to sell to avoid the listing fee. Anyone comparing the New World to Lost Ark global/area chats will notice the difference. Walls of text that people spam every minute which just forces people to block the player.
Lost Ark has a deposit system, which allows people to list their items without worry, but the deposit still prevents some degree of clutter (combined with a maximum number of listing). I find this to be much more comfortable as a player.
To prevent people from simply removing the listing and relisting it to undercut people continuously, the deposit would be lost if you cancel the listing prematurely.

There are no official A2 giveaways I’m aware of. @vagrant pike has his own giveaway but that’s not ran by intrepid.

How much are the cosmetics in the pre-order pack after you've purchased the pre-order pack?
crystal flax
Between $5 and $25 depending on which piece
soft lance
So how much if you want to purchase the entire cosmetic pack for the month?
if that's the individual prices
crystal flax
soft lance
Thnx
crystal flax
$125 total for all pieces if I added that right
soft lance
That's kind of a bummer, I was hoping 30-50 for the pack, since the pre-req is already so high
Oh well
warm onyx
Their pricing is in line with industry standards honestly
$20 for a mount, $25 for armor, $5 for accessories
Also the game has no box cost
soft lance
Except these cosmetics are not for an actual game at the moment, and the ability to purchase them is locked behind buying a $375 pre-order pack for a game that hasn't even hit alpha 2.
They're limited edition sets for those who chose to support and test in alpha 2.
So it doesn't make sense for cosmetics, which are for those who chose to support the game's development, to be "in line with industry standards".
If you buy the pack and intend to purchase the following months' cosmetics, you are paying $125 a month for something that isn't even tangible.
That price point would make more sense if it wasn't locked behind an already large pay wall.
warm onyx
None of it is tangible. You are paying exorbitant amounts of money for a few pixels on a server that are easily reproducible. If you don’t like it, don’t buy it. It gives you 0 advantage in the game. You can come back in a few years when the game is out and just pay the monthly sub.
karmic coral
6 mo of game time, $100 in game currency so right there $190 bucks of value
then the skins for the pack another 25-35 bucks
sure it's not tangible but there is enough seen that it will at least be decent
warm onyx
That’s all subjective. Let people believe what they want to believe. If they don’t like the pricing, nobody is forcing them. They can go complain in #aoc-discussion or just come back in a few years
soft lance
You seem to have taken that personally. I was just pointing out that the price point doesn't make sense to me.
soft lance
Also the argument of "if you don't like it, don't buy it", is a bit strange. Half the reason for me wanting to purchase the pack is to get the cosmetics.
To "you" its fine
That's all i'll say here, i'll just make a forum discussion
warm onyx
This is a questions channel. That’s why I said you can discuss it in #aoc-discussion
You asked your question, it was answered, you just didn’t like the answer and that’s fine

My friend, someone else answered my question. You just decided to add your opinion to it, and I was responding to you. It's all good haha

One thing, that came just to my mind is a question regarding the caravan system. So you can’t carry all the goods by your self and creating a caravan and hire some protection. If you get raided, you lose all your carried goods right? My question is, if you can’t carry the goods by yourself, the raiders can’t either. Do the raiders will capture the caravan or just loot a fraction of the goods and the left over is lost?

The loot drops in the form of certificates that have to be cashed in at the node of origin. This stops people from creating caravans, killing it themselves, and then picking up the certs to go along their merry way to the distant node they want to sell the goods at. It also makes the perpetrators of the caravan kill go to the node it came from. All sorts of fun.

The betas are separate from alpha 2

There are no guarantees that this is the case. It's likely true with some, but they never said you would be able to get variants on every mount cosmetics.

But then what would you apply those cosmetics to?

The cosmetics apply to every mounts of the same tier
so a tier 1 cosmetic can be applied to any tier 1 mount (ground-walking)
it doesn't have to be the same race of animal

That will be strange, considering they're all built differently and function apart from each other

I just want a snail mount like the wisp whelk. As long as I have one of my own I'm happy, regardless of how different it looks from the wisp version.
It's also why I was confused by the "this tier of cosmetic can go on any mount of its tier" since wisp whelks seem to have a unique ability to swap modes of locomotion, so how would that apply to other mounts or would it be something that's just visual despite the increased height of the mount itself?

im sad that i only just recently discovered this game and cant get any of the older stuff from packs that have passed but its still a really cool feature you guys are offering!

The snail mount is a tier 1 mount, it's a ground mount. Whether it's walking on 4 legs or snailling along, it's still a ground mount

When will bard gameplay be released
desert ivy
When will bard gameplay be released
We don't know. They've said they'll be revealing class kits in the next few months
They plan to reveal the Ranger archetype in September
warm onyx
Bard is a class we’ve seen very little of so don’t expect it to be amongst the first

Bard will likely be second to last with summoner being the final archetype revealed
Are tank, mage, and cleric staying the same from Alpha 1 for the most part?
Will they have their own reveal then, or is their identity already well-known enough to not need it?
