Has it been stated if we will have guild icons? Like uploadable images to represent our guilds?
manic holly
Last I heard uploadable images is something they want to stay away from with a big no, because that can cause a lot of issues such as NSFW images or things that toe the line that can cause a lot of drama with moderation.
desert ivy
The last thing they said was that it was under consideration.
manic holly
Under consideration with a lean towards the negative due to how much of an issue it caused in another MMO one of the presenters had to deal with.
desert ivy
No, if anything the last we heard was that they're leaning towards allowing it but having a GM team that monitors that stuff and if you upload anything inappropriate then you get banned
sharp hinge
Want that in regards to images on armor/ clothing? I imagine it would b able more manageable as guild icons since it'd b alot less in comparison
sharp hinge
Beautiful, thx
sharp hinge
Hmm will there be guns?
desert ivy
No. Gunpowder doesn't exist in Verra.
Closest would be potion launchers but they probably won't make it as usable weapons for our characters but will rather be the "cannons" on ships

They may be used on ships in place of cannons. But if it implemented, it won't be used as a weapon that individual characters equip/hold.

Do we know how close each freehold will be able to be placed to each other
Or whether it's possible to increase the size of your plot

Freeholds are approximately half an acre in size.
Freeholds cant be placed too close to each other, so u wont be able to create 'Player Villages'.

Is guild castle node locations static? Or will their location vary per server?
Castles are not nodes. But yes, castles are static and the same on every server. The nodes are also the same on every server, they’ll just develop differently.
In case you mean this - Castle “nodes” did exist in theory but they are changing those names to barracks or something if I recall correctly. They’ll also be in the same location, always.
late spindle
Castles are not nodes. But yes, castles are static and the same on every server....
"There will be 103 regular node locations at launch with 15 additional castle nodes (5 castles x 3 castle nodes each)[4][5][6] for a total of 118 nodes.[7][8]"
Oh okay, I was like, uhh... am i not reading this correctly haha
warm onyx
Yes those will not be called nodes anymore and they are under castles, also always in the same spot
They are always a military type and don’t really function quite like nodes. @simple ether what is their new name?
late spindle
The numbers there are a bit confusing too, cause 5 total castles should mean 5 additional "nodes" or barracks' right? not 15?
Yeah and they only got to level 3
I was just curious if their location was static, I didn't recall that the node type was the same on every server too?
warm onyx
5 castles; 3 “nodes” each; 15 total in the world

warm onyx
Might be worth asking for people’s A1 experiences in #general-discussion . Won’t be reflective of reality but the most accurate thing you can get at this point was how alpha 1 was a year ago for people in OCE and such
wispy sapphire
How are bounties, arenas, and lots of other 1v1 situations going to work well if the gane is balanced toward groups, instead of balanced for individual players then scaled up for group balance
manic holly
1v1 the time to kill is stated to be about 30 seconds to a minute with a rock-paper-scissors dynamic with the trinity of dps, support, and tank.
warm onyx
In short - it won’t be balanced
timid jewel
There will probably also be groups of bounty hunters
wispy sapphire
Yea rock paper scissors is fine, but
providing each player only has access to tools exclusively from one of those options, then it means 1v1s wont be balanced , because there will always be a hard counter, unless they are provided with tools from the counter to your classes counter (such as if you are rock, and the enemy is paper- you have some options from scissors) then if all classes are designed like that, you are at least cabable if winning 1v1s- so winning the matchup is more based on skill of using your tools rather than the class you happen to have in a given situation, while still having horizontal gameplay variety through different combinations of the rock paper scissors design
But arenas will be 1v1 as far as i know, and it would be nice to have the option to not have to group up 24/7 just to avoid being exploited by a hard counter to your class
stoic spire
i wonder if its gonna be horrible to play with high ping
Alpha 1 didn't have a local server for me, I was playing NA from Australia, usually ~240-280 ping it was quite smooth overall, you would no doubt have issues in pvp if you had high ping all the time though

manic holly
No shape shifting. No confirmed nature types either. Things like druids don't exist.
Ranger might, might, have some nature theming, but we won't know until September's reveal.
The closest we can infer is Ranger having and granting class names such as Falconer and Beastmaster with Ranger/Summoner and Summoner/Ranger respectively.
Beyond that it's purely speculation.

fluid needle
We're unsure how long A2 will last and any info on how long it will last is unfounded atm
manic holly
I've heard mixed things about Alpha 2 from different people. I'm uncertain so I shall pose it as a question, but perhaps it's true that Alpha 2 is planned to go through Beta 1 and Beta 2 all the way to release to test underlying things before those changes are pushed to the betas?
warm onyx
This is all the official info we have on Alpha 2. It will not be feature complete at the start but it should be by the end. Betas will be feature complete.
Alpha 2 servers will convert into PTR after the game launches
What people need to keep in mind is that while it will be persistent, it doesn’t mean it won’t have significant periods of downtime and likely multiple wipes
violet plover
Does anyone have an idea when the alpha 2 might come out, like predictably i know there's no confirmed date
sterile herald
predictions range from 3-6 months. my hopium guess is that the next stream will give a date

The best prediction one can probably hope for is some time next year, though with how tumultuous game production can be it could even be the year after. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

" People escaped through these portals into the world of Sanctus. They had to rediscover technology, because so much of their current technology was based on magic, so they had to figure out how to interact with the world. Thousands and thousands of years go by. A long dark age passes."

slightly longer answer if nobody gathers it then the price will go up and then at some point somebody will hire pvpers to guard you to gather it since it would be profit still since the price is high
celest magnet
pvpers will have their own crafters, pvers also, you need a crafter to loot dragons for example...
from a design stand point, crafting is deeply intrenched into progression that you cannot go around it, best power is gained from crafted stuff, there will be always super hihh demand for raw materials, even if you main a processor/crafter, you will have, as a node specially, to secure those raw materials
brisk mantle
where are you getting that nobody is gathering any ressources? What I'm talking about is that there will be people gathering, processing and crafting. The latter two will not have a reason to go farm ressources because they can't really master it and are better off following their own artisan class. This would mean that only gatherers would be, well, gathering so everyone who isn't focusing on gathering is missing out on the open world pvp unless they actually do go farm there just for the sake of pvp

Keys are given to streamers. Keys cannot be bought from the shop. The only way to access A2 other than sponsored giveaways by Intrepid is to buy the pack directly from the shop. There is no way to gift a pack to other people.
When the Betas arrive, Kickstarter backers will have Beta keys that they can give to people.

Question: let's say I'm a weapon smith, would it b impossible for me to mine the ore required or process it? Or would I be able to, just at a lower efficiency? Like I'd get one ore instead of two per rock and it takes me twice as long to smelt and there's a chance for failure? Sorry for the long winded question.
lean marlin
you would be able to mine and process it up to a point. At least from how it's been described so far. Basically if you're a master blacksmith, you'll need a master processor to process the ore. So you can only master one artisan class gathering, processing, crafting but you can still do the other two to an extent. @sharp hinge

Does anyone know whether AOC will have a publicly available API for Developers to provide services to their communities?
For clarity, I play Albion Online and I have developed a Kill Bot that reports in Discord any kill/death events in game for the bot user based on how they configure the bot. The bot works by reading the Albion Online API.
Will AOC have something similar where we can pull in game event results out via the API and display them in our guild discord via a bot?
I have even gone to the extent of developing mini games based of the data. ie: My kill bot provides a kill list for the players of the guild, its a rolling list of the top killers for the guild. The mini game builds a points system based on the kills stats or your demise. This allows you to refine the leader board to ensure that some who gets 100 kills, but dies 90 time, has less points that someone who kills 100 players and dies on 20 times. A plain kill list has these two at the same level. The points system has the second guy on top.

I was wondering if the PvP in AoC will be anything like in WoW? In WoW, you are looking for a specific window of opportunity (no trinket, no defensive spells) to lock their team in CC and kill the target. So my question is whether killing someone will be so much dependent on you synergizing your abilities with your team. TBH, what has been shown so far looks more like a hack-n-slash type of game where no real brain activity is needed ;s
Also, I was wondering if there's going to be a combo points class, like rogues?

Best way to think about it is in supply logistics. Gatherers get the raw materials out in the wild then deliver them to freeholds for processing and then the processors deliver the refined material to the crafters within the node.

Will the farming system also be vulnerable to pests/infestations that we might need to use resources to prevent or possibly be exposed to vulnerability of poor yield/crop failure?

I played it often back in the day. I just miss it and figured I'd ask.
I never saw anything that gave the the idea that it was.
warm onyx
Ok thanks for the info
dry spoke
There is something that is not clear to me,
If the underworld has its own territories , roads , etc then it means that the world of AoC is bigger than it seems , right ?
Within the 1200km is not considering the size of the underworld , right ?
warm onyx
We are not sure if the 1200km includes the underworld

I’ve been reading up on artisan classes and I’m confused by the term “master”. Per the wiki, a character can master one artisan class and two skills there in do they mean that you can ONLY learn two of the skills (eg farming and lumberjacking) or that you can only take two to max level?
warm onyx
You can only take 2 from the same kind to the max
The idea is to force interaction between different players and rely on them
So you can’t be a master of everything
(This is all subject to change and testing)
So let’s say you master 2 crafting professions. You can’t then master a processing one.
You may be able to do very basic things though
3 buckets - gathering, processing, crafting
You can master only one of those
And within that, you can get 2 professions from that same kind to max
unreal thicket
Right and that’s where I’m confused. If I chose to try and master smelting and animal husbandry, does that mean I can’t weave at all or any of the other processing options. It could be that it just needs more specificity
warm onyx
The current understanding is that you can do very basic levels of the other professions
But how much or how little is unclear
unreal thicket
Gotcha! Okay and again, still subject to change. Thanks so much for the clarification!
warm onyx
They say tier 3 or 4 for others but they haven’t revealed how the tiers work
If we were to speculate, it could be tier 3 = level 30, tier 4 = 40. But we don’t know that
stray canyon
You can only take 2 from the same kind to the max
that is not true... u can max 2 at start from one artisan class... wiki is wrong with that info ... if u watch steven video... he said 2 master at start... so there is possibility to master more later in game (if concept didnt change)
dark jungle
that is not true... u can max 2 at start from one artisan class... wiki is wrong...
sorry thats not correct
you can only master two artisan professions within one artisan class
the rest you can dabble in
warm onyx
This is the clip in question
At the end of the answer he repeats 2-3 professions subject to testing
dark jungle
that does not contradict the wiki
crisp onyx
say you are on a ship. and for whatever reason you dis connect. WHEN YOU LOG BACK IN ARE YOU STILL ON THE SHIP OR DO YOU LOG BACK INTO THE LOCATION YOU WERE AT WHEN YOU DISCONNECTED??
stray canyon
i mean u can master 2 artisan professions within one artisan class at start... so looks like u can master more than 2 in one artisan class later in game
dark jungle
the verbatim quote from steven is 1:14:53 and we're talking about masteries like ultimate masteries uh living within only 1:14:58 two of those to start for any one individual character so there's a uh that doesn't mean that 1:15:04 that you can't achieve like tier three and tier four um intermediate proficiency within those 1:15:10 systems
steven is saying you can master 2 professions, but you can go on to achieve intermediate proficiency in others
warm onyx
say you are on a ship. and for whatever reason you dis connect. WHEN YOU LOG BAC...
They haven’t cleared that up yet
dark jungle
yes you can have two professions mastered but then you can go on to become proficient in other professions (but not master them)

so i did go to page in wiki... i did click on reference {1} and at development upgrade from 30 april 2022 Steven said from 1:14:58 to 1:15:01 master 2 at start not just only 2 ... but 2 at start ... so we may have the way to get more than 2
dark jungle
actually after a complete re-read (for the 5th time) i do notice he said 2 or 3. will edit the article accordingly. thanks 
it now reads
A character may only ever master one of these parent paths and up to two or three professions (subject to testing).
from verbatim transcript here:
1:15:17 really kind of identifying around two or three right now but that's something that gets play tested something gets iterated upon

With open seas being discussed today is there any information on Dragons and their capacity to traverse the skies above the seas? Given the limited life-span & scarcity of the egg drop in current design this could be interesting.

I have a question, that also doubles as a suggestion for the team (if there’s a place for suggestions as well I’d love for someone to point me in that direction too) will there be hair growth in the game? In RDR2 this was one of the most immersive elements I’ve seen in a game. And especially with the amount of customization that’s available in the creation area of the game it would be so cool to see your hair whether facial or other grow through out your journey as you play and see your hair style and beard style get more exaggerated as it changes in length. Whether you could trim yourself using a knife or have a npc that does it for (and further adding a moneys sink) I would find this so beloved and immersive.

i recall asmon hitting a wall in the alpha so i guess it will be added, though an indication of why its there such as in warframe would be cool. rather than just being there for the map ending.
maybe a storm [which will kill u in seconds] or.. should be around the edge rather than a wall

Sounds like attacking caravans won’t really have much of a down side. Is this to incentivize people to attack caravans and try to keep resources more localized?
manic holly
People have the option to be guards for caravans, so if guards are present it becomes a much more risky endeavor to attack them.

You'll drop resources you're carrying as well, and there's a resource cost to repairing durability. It's not just gold you're spending like in other games.
