If you feel like the lack of information on the freehold buildings is a dealbreaker then I strongly recommend you hold off until we have more information on how they'll function 🙂 For now I'm sorry to say this is all we know
south bridge
We already know not all skins can go on all kinds of buildings. So are they broad strokes (Gather/crafting/processing/housing) or micro (stable/mill/blacksmith/grain silo/etc). Do we even know that? No, cause I've been asking for over a year.

This is a BS answer. Cosmetics are supposed to be monthly exclusive, but there isn't enough info to make an informed purchase. It's the worst kind of FOMO. And your answer is a very "white knight" cavalier attitude towards it. You say "You'll be able to use it" Then "we don't know" followed by "then hold off" If you don't have an answer you shouldn't try to gaslight people. Just say "Yeah we don't know yet." ping your community manager saying its been asked again and move on.

I'm sorry you feel that way, unfortunately i'm just a volunteer repeating the information I've been given, I have no way to answer the question better. You CAN use the skin, if you chose not to due to your in-game descisions that's up to you, you'll still have it unlocked as an option on alts or if you ever change your mind about which buildings you want on your freehold. It's not my intention to gaslight anyone, I thought it was pretty clear that I don't have a clear answer at this time.

Yea I remember that (thanks for reminding me). Was just also speculating on what Hjerim is asking (which I think is reasonable). And as I type this, I see you posting "flavor text" which makes this moot

random question, will there be in-node animal husbandry? or will freeholds be the only way?
dark jungle
so far only freeholds have been mentioned afaik
hexed ermine
ok i was wondering because from what i understood freeholds would be a bit harder to get than an in node house. also, if your not able to get a freehold or in-node house would that make animal husbandry cut off for you?
warm onyx
There are 2 types of in-node housing. Apartments is probably what you are thinking of because the other type is more limited than freeholds
hexed ermine
true but i still wonder if animal husbandry is going to be locked behind needing a freehold because if so, i think thats a pretty big downside

Has Steven and the crew thought for some notification stuff in villages to use npcs to tell players that a boss is near or rare materials/ weapons have spawned? Like if a Field boss is near, the npcs all whisper throughout the town “The king (placeholder) is near, the king is near!” Or whatever phrase. Would be an interesting and new way for indicators to be used
Don’t really know how hard that is to program and implement efficiently and effectively so that it would run well

Whats the best place to get an AMA question in? I was wondering if they'll have support for things like the steam deck on launch.

You can use the forums, wait for the October AMA, or ask for the monthly dev discussion (they open up a forum thread a few days before the stream)
Steam deck will likely not be supported if a single button performs more than one action
burnt mist
So, random thought...Is it possible that down the road we'll be able to see some kind of teleportation network between distant nodes using ruins as a medium? I randomly remembered how the dotHack franchise utilized teleportation between zones being things like (Delta, Field, XX) and got to thinking it'd be interesting to see something akin to this in AoC, though I doubt it'll be implemented.
warm onyx
They want to limit fast travel in order to make sure the world feels vast and their risk vs reward systems aren’t undermind. The current plan for teleportation specifically is to have it as a “super power” for a scientific metropolis where you can teleport to your vassal nodes (but cannot carry materials). That’s it.

Probably been asked before but whats stopping people intent on griefing a node siege from joining during the declaration phase?

Node sieges aren't supposed to have a limit for sides...so that's gonna be hard to do.

Fair enough, I guess depending on functionality within sieges themselves I could still see some griefers try and do stupid sht like park siege vehicles to block routes/be annoying
but those people might be fewer and further between since the direct citizens of the defending node cant join and youd really have to reach out to get other people to do it on your sides behalf

They will tell us if/when they plan to take A2 off the shop so you'll have a few weeks or months to decide if you want to buy. For reference, Alpha 1 stayed up on the shop while Alpha 1 was online so you're almost certainly gonna be able to buy A2 after A2 goes live

The intention is to have groups of 8 and have one of each archetype in it, ideally.

From what they have said, probably a long time. Steven has mentioned that when you become a master, it should be something that everyone knows about, like your name becomes known to all on the server.
Becoming a master Crafter or a master Processor or a master Gatherer should be a significant time investment and resource investment; and because of that it should also be something that when you achieve that status it's like people on the server know who you are.[57] – Steven Sharif
trail quarry
Mm
Famous ✨
Hoping it'll be a significant enough investment that it'll turn a very large majority of people away
Having half the server or more have a mastered profession means it really wouldn't be all that special
warm onyx
Top level processing will require freeholds, top level crafting with require high level nodes, the top materials come from world bosses and high level dungeons that are heavily pvp contested… I wouldn’t worry too much about it being “easy” to do

Besides they would still need to obtain the rare materials. While they are rolling gear for the BIS or item worth selling you could be making consistant money selling the rare ingredients.
They mentioned that being a master crafter negated you from other gathering lines. It won't be like new world where you could literally gather everything yourself given enough time.

Was reading abit about the pvp and came across the article about enchantments.
"It's not as though you're going to necessarily acquire these once and then you're set for your PvP enchantments, but instead you'll have to continually perform month after month in order to keep having those slotted enchantments."
I'm curious if theres any info about how impactful these enchantments will be - Will there be a significant difference in performance between 2 players of the same skill level where 1 player has a best-in-slot enchantment and 1 player without any?
And Im also curious about how much grind its gonna take? The quote i referenced from the article sort of make it sound like you have to grind tirelessly to keep them.
Interesting. And so is the PvP rank the big goal that you want to increase in order to achieve different types of bonuses -titles, gear stuff etc.?
Very interesting. Thanks for the help

Hello, i'm new and this games seems super fun, i see we need to pay to acces the alpha/beta, but when the games will come out it will be free?

okey but monthly sub is not in a good shape today, think that's a good idea?

Games only fit into so many categories of monetization. If games don't have a sub fee, they have f2p and p2w mechanics. If they have box cost and dlc costs, usually comes with a sub fee and still cosmetic shop etc

if summoner itself will also be able to heal, its gonna be op on first sieges cause no armor

the optional monthly sub is also working great for ESO.
People dont mind monthly subs as much as people think, i think
if the game is good, spending 15$ for a month of entertainment is nothing
if the game is bad, then its another story, but then the game has bigger problems anyway

i don't mind a box fee but it gives you the month or two for free with it then have the monthly sub. it helps keep it from becoming a pay to win if there isn't a cash shop for their income.
warm onyx
Box cost makes it less attractive to those who don’t want to fully commit just yet and prefer a low cost, try it approach
A monthly sub also provides long term revenue for the company so they can afford to continue to develop, pay for services, and pay GMs to be in game

Different geographical areas will have different looking seasons, the snowy mountains may not melt in summer necessarily or the desert may not have feet of snow but they will have seasons.

I think they are referring to one part of the world being summer while the other part experiencing winter. They haven’t said anything about that

It will be like that, water mounts are faster in water for example.. and u can have different stats on the mounts.. so very fast mount with low stamina might be good for chase or escape, but mount with high stamina might be perfect for traveling

From what I understand the game is being designed so that everywhere remains relevant. It's not a strict theme park where you go from point A to B to C through Z and never really need to go back to first areas. There will be reasons for people to go everywhere at all times. The nodes will always be reconfiguring, changing what content is even available. @simple ether please correct me if I'm wrong or missing anything.

did Intrepid said if there will be other ways of obtaining an alpha2 or its just available by buying the pack? because I wouldn't like to spend 250€ and then get 5 alphas for free the next month

They do give out Alpha Keys like 1-2 times a year within a Event like a special Halloween-Event...but its not like they give hundreds of keys, more like a hand full of them.
So if u wanna test the Alpha u would be safer to buy a pack. But if u r already saying u wont like to, then dont do it.

undone sequoia
Question? how long to level up to max level? I heard it was 4-6 hours a day for about a month?
desert ivy
@undone sequoia At launch the aim will be 4-6 hours a day for 45 days
The thing with levelling at the start in Ashes is that it will kinda be artificially slowed down due to node development.
So a few months after launch you'll probably be able to level faster due to there being higher level nodes available, but at launch you might hit level 30 and then a Town (4) level node might be required to progress any further due to no quests or mobs being near your level but the highest level node will be Village (3) so you have to wait until a node levels
undone sequoia
Thank you Talents 🙂
weary jolt
So we know there will be item sinks, since most top end gear will be crafted (needing to repair items with lower tier items perhaps of the same type) but how would this work for items that drop directly from bosses and other forms of content? Or do we know if item decay will even apply to direct drops at all?
dapper chasm
Example:
Lets say we r talking about a Mithril Armor
This can be dropped (low chance on full drops + random stats)
and also crafted (the positive side of this would be the stats on it, where a crafter has some power on changing or deciding which ones he want)
But both need to be repaired from time to time and both would require Mithril-ore - so u'll always be in need of those as long as u r wearing this armor

Will all professions be available or will players have to choose wisely what professions they want to go into
tender hearthBOT
mild reef
can have "many different professions"...just restrictions on which you can master. not really sure if there's confirmation that still be able to learn all of them, at some basic level or not
I maybe misread:
"Within each of these three artisan classes lies different professions.[3]
Characters within a single account (Alts) may have different professions.[4]"
dunno how many profs you can learn on a single character
trail quarry
It mentions you'll be able to try out and be able to level up all professions to a certain amount on the same character

shut saffron
Will you be able to use all weapons on all classes, even stuff as dumb as a mage...
Steven said a couple of years ago in a livestream, in response to a question, that some abilities will require a specific weapon. I interpret that as something like: you're a Rogue. You can use whatever weapon you like, but your Backstab skill requires a dagger.
In effect this kind of system does restrict your weapon selection if you want to use all your skills. Also said in a livestream, however is that you will have some choice in weapon through skill selection. The example given is you can spec to use a 2-hander as a tank, avoiding those skills which require a shield.
Obviously such choices would affect the role you are playing in a combat

will all classes be added during a2? i thought i read something about them purposefully not adding every class since it's not needed for testing and it would make it harder to create a meta upon release
fleet shore
yeah i get that but i thought i remembered them saying that not every feature will be actually in a2 just because they dont need to test literally everything to make sure it's working and it saves some of the surprise for release
kinda ruins the fun of launch, that's unfortunate
crystal beacon
If you don't like spoilers for content don't pay attention to them, otherwise everything is wiped for full release. Don't think it's really ruining anything.
fleet shore
that's not the issue. korean mmos for example are fully solved when they come to the West because people test on korean servers and know how to do all the dungeons, know what the best classes are, know how to play every class, etc. it literally everythign is available during alpha/beta then that means ashes is basically a korean mmo in that regard where everything is known and solved before it launches
its not about just not reading up about it or not playing it
i was hoping with ashes being a western mmo we wouldnt run into that issue

Question on How the class system works aswell, You start off with just the 1 class than train into the 2nd later creating your new class such as start as a Summoner and choose Rogue you will become the Shadowmancer? How long until you would be able to choose your secondary class

You choose your secondary archetype at level 25
You can change your secondary archetype with "some effort", but you can't change your primary
Max level is 50

Is their decent details on what each class will look like?
desert ivy
Not yet. They're currently doing a rework of the combat system so we haven't seen much of the archetypes/classes yet, however they will be showing more of them over the next few months

Hey, would be nice if someone could check on my current assumptions.
There is:
64 classes
4Schools of augments+racial+node+social augments
8 armor pieces and 5 jewelry slots
Gear and weapon enchanting
Armor types and variety
Every class can yield any weapon
Crafter influence on the stats of gear
Small scale and large scale PvP and PvE
Racial stats and hitbox difference due to character size
Ability system with selection of certain abilities and points to spend
and this all wrapped into a system that has both action and tarb targeting combat?
Also did i miss anything regarding character power progression?
desert ivy
There's also religious augments
There's not planned to be a hitbox difference, the last thing Intrepid said was that there'd be a unified hitbox
true finch
Was there any discussion on how they intend to balance those layers of combinations and permutations?(Apart from the "we balance for groups" statement) What they are currently attempting is unparalleled on so many levels. Games with only a tiny fragment of that depth still struggle to find a satisfying point of balance
warm onyx
They don’t balance around 1v1 which they expect it to be more or less rock, paper, scissors. The game will be balanced around group content - groups of 8, 16, 40, etc.
coral badge
Wonder if 1v1s will get more attention with arena updates...
warm onyx
That is currently not their plan
true finch
I personally dont see any weight in the argument to balance for groups. The power gaps that people can create with those combinations are even amplified in group play, as the dimension of synergy between the players is added
warm onyx

They have made sure to mention that depending on your tulnar's influence and how heavy that influence is their stance will change. Unfortunately we have no details of what exactly that entails other than assumptions. It does sound like they're planning on making the tulnar truly bestial at least.

Since AoC will have way better graphics, does someone know what GPU is needed to play Unreal Engine 5 games at ultra settings? I've seen some people use RTX 3060 but the fps is low. Any suggestions? Talking about 1080p.
spiral pine
We don't know yet
frosty summit
Usually MMOs are CPU-heavy, rather than GPU. I can play with decent FPS (60+) StarCitizen on RTX2080. Not sure how it compares Graphic-wise with AoC, but SC has also stunning graphics.
But I believe I have it on High. Not Ultra on SC.
spiral pine
They are not comparable at all
frosty summit
Why not?
spiral pine
Well for starters they're not on the same engine
frosty summit
AH, you meant in that sense. I thought you gonna say that StarCitizen is smaller game.
It's actually much more massive, just for comparison we've made ... one big space ship (that you can own) in SC is the size of one average Call of Duty map

I have a question for those who had privilege to test the game. Does the combat feel similar to the New World combat system? I've only played WoW and GW2, a bit of NW. AoC looks like more Action combat style, which I think is similar to NW. Is that somewhat correct? I have very little experience with Action MMORPG combat style 😄

Since there is no Alpha-2 date, I was wondering based on past experience - how long before the Alpha 2 will we be able to purchase a Pack that gives us access to Alpha 2? For example, I currently have bought Expeditionary Pre-Order Pack, which does not include Alpha-2 participation. If I want to participate (therefore need to upgrade my pre-order), once it get announced, will it be too late?

Hello I have been following the game for a long time I was wondering a few things.
On the website it says Alpha 0 is the current of thr game and you need to buy a pledge to play alpha 0 but when I look ovef pledges no such pledge exist. Ehy doed it say that you can buy alpha 0 acess if you cannot? Is there any current way to buy any pledge to get acess right now? Or do I have to wait for alpha 1 or 2 or etc?
Also ehy is it so exoensive the only other gane ive seen that cost this much to play alpha/beta id pantheon (theyre also in thr thousands) usually games have all the rabge from free to 50$ for alpha/beta but here its almost 400$ thats aloooooot to pay for an unfinished game even if it gives you cool armor or not.
Lastly I wonder if any of this are/will be possible in game:
Sit on benches
Climb walls,rocks
Double jump
Glide in the air
Or any other parkoure mivements that let me traverse thr world and walk around on rooftops takeing screenshots of the enviorment?
And lastly can you mention some niche, quirky, unique stuff that only this game have/will have?
onyx knoll
Hello I have been following the game for a long time I was wondering a few thing...
We are currently in between alpha 1 and 2, there are no dates for when alpha 2 will become available so at this time there are no ways to get access since there is nothing to get access to.
The price of the packs include subscription time to the game for when it'll fully release, as well as currency to buy more cosmetic items in the future, their value takes all of that into account. If you don't have any interests in cosmetics then you can wait for the game to fully release, then it'll only be 15$/month without any additional cost 🙂
As for your last question:
Sit on benches; Probably though it hasn't been confirmed yet
Climb walls,rocks; parkour is only available during special quests
Double jump ; no
Glide in the air; yes, by using the gliding mounts
Or any other parkoure mivements that let me traverse thr world and walk around on rooftops takeing screenshots of the enviorment?; parkour is only available during special quests, though you might be able to get on top of some building with the help of gliding mounts depedning on teh surrounding terrain
I would say the most unique aspect of Ashes is probably it's node system, it's fairly unique and different then other games who have used "node" ideas

I figure if someone intends to have their friends kill them to get rid of corruption and save their loot, I'd just remove the ability for friends to remove corruption by killing you and not allow them to take your loot. If you unfriend someone to circumvent this, I'd put in a 7 day hold that will still prevent you from killing them to remove corruption and take their gear. Can do the same prevention with guild buddies. There are ways to prevent abuse, it's gonna take time to figure it out is all.

You can not friend them at all, remove the corruption and then friend them
Devs have no way of knowing if you are friends with someone or not unless you specifically friend that person or something
You can just take all your stuff off and run at people naked so that you lose corruption for all we know
acoustic oxide
You can not friend them at all, remove the corruption and then friend them
I was referring to specifically "friending" someone in the game as most people do in MMOs, and preventing abuse
true, they'd have to think about how to handle that situation (if they haven't already)
fresh isle
Yeah but. Game just started, your friend irl gets corrupted to the max, you kill him a bunch of times and its gone
How do the devs know you are irl friends
acoustic oxide
You don't. Or you can put a timer in to prevent the same person from killing you to lose corruption
fresh isle
then you get your guild (that hasnt been established yet), allies or other friends to do that
coral badge
Still makes it harder at least
Perhaps you can’t lose all corruption by killing, but it could reduce a certain percentage capping out with a moderate timer that must simply be waited on?
acoustic oxide
Even then, put corruption loss on a timer so there's no quick way to avoid punishment
I wouldn't let killing the person have corruption loss
fresh isle
I can see preventing the same person from killing you multiple times to remove corruption making sense
coral badge
I wouldn't let killing the person have corruption loss
Should decrease it though. If for example you get bounty Hunted

Anything else? Easily avoidable

If someone is notorious for killing loads of people, I can see preventing corruption loss at all after killing

Should decrease pay for targeting same player
Maybe exp loss on death while corrupted?
If you take a hit to your level progress by corruption farming, it’ll only be worth becoming corrupted if you live. Killing a player could cause the corrupted to lose some exp, varying by level gap. It just wouldn’t be worth it, so each player would have to find a balance between death with exp loss (and possibly armor if not a friend), and corruption timer decrease. As for alt accounts that can stay corrupted, bounty decreases for killing the same person too often should help make it not worth it for most. (Just an idea)

They'll have localised pricing depending on the server you choose. For example, if you go on the NA or EU server then you'll have to pay the full $15 regardless of where you live in the world. If they decide to make a SA server then if you play on that server you'll get a localised price.
warm onyx
And those with harmonized pricing are locked into that region with the same harmonized price if that wasn’t entirely clear from talents’ comment

I wonder if I have freehold and don't build house can I still be citizen of a node?
@simple ether Thanks
warm onyx
You need housing to become a citizen (freehold, apartment, in-node static home), but you don’t need to become a citizen even if you do have housing. You can have one of each type per server (expect freeholds which are one per account). You can only have one citizenship per server and it’s shared for all your characters.
dry pelican
I think the houses you buy are just cosmetic skins for freeholds
warm onyx
Freehold is the plot of land. You can choose what to build on it. The cosmetics they sell go on top of already existing buildings in your freehold. They aren’t buildings themselves.

That information has not been given to us
sharp bramble
Any info on pvp within node cities? Any safe area;s?
The only safe zones are within housing & player stalls
undone sequoia
I appreciate the responses ^.^
shut saffron
The only safe zones are within housing & player stalls
based on the wiki, I don't see that on-the-map housing is pvp-protected.
unless it's in a freehold
so if you own a house on the map in a city, you are not safe there?
I suppose given that houses have a permission system, you effectively have a lockpick-proof lock on your house, so you should be safe from pvp there.
warm onyx
How many Freeholds per node? if anyone knows? 🙂
The higher the level of the node (0-6), the higher the zone of influence of a specific node, the more freeholds you can have within its vicinity.
There are 85 nodes within roughly 450-480 squared kilometers of land mass and each freehold is roughly half an acre. Freeholds cannot be near a point of interest, roads, etc. so the actual land mass they can potentially cover is smaller.
warm onyx
It's been mentioned that around 20% of dungeons will be instanced, and iirc also...
Keep in mind that the 20% of instanced content is mostly for story-related quests and such. But yes, some of it will be because the devs want a certain number of players to be the max for an encounter.
Most of the top end bosses and the best loot/materials for the best gear will be found in the open world in heavily pvp contested areas where that’s part of the challenge.
kindred needle
Keep in mind that the 20% of instanced content is mostly for story-related quest...
Other than crafted gear that is
warm onyx
Crafted gear requires material from those bosses
kindred needle
Indeed, but when you have those materials crafting the gear will have better outcome than the gear the boss drops itself
warm onyx
Yes, the best gear in the game is crafted
Or as Steven put it: “Crafters make the best shit”

Which is quite exciting as I myself am either a tamer or crafter in most MMOs

Ofc it's very wise to have commitment to quality over meeting times. Times cause rushing and rushing creates flaws thus leading to distasteful results.

hollow sleet
Someone know if let’s say there is a t6 metropolis and it has a t5 city as a vassal. When the t6 gets down leveled by a siege or something els will the t5 get leveled down too? And in this case can the t5 node become now independent and can become maybe the next metropolis?
warm onyx
The down-leveling was an old concept from 2018/2019. Now a node just gets destroyed if they lose a siege. Only nodes from 1-2 get destroyed if they are vassal nodes. So a level 5 would stay the same and the ZOI will be restructured
Steven talked about this a bit in a recent livestream. Let me try to find it
He discusses the 20 buffer nodes that are outside the ZOI as well and how they come into play if a t6 is destroyed
hollow sleet
Thanks for fast answer. So the only thing that maybe can cap the t5 node from getting a t6 is when the new ZOI from the t5 when it becomes a t6 will overlap with the ZOI from the nearest t6 node right?
warm onyx
Theoretically speaking, yes. There may be other mechanics at play they haven’t revealed to us
Also another t5 may level faster and cap the max number of t6 nodes

General Question, do you think it would be possible to have an option to turn off store cosmetics for myself alone - as in I can't see them in game, and just replace them with some generic simple transmog maybe suitable for their level/achievements ?

I understand the need to generate revenue with cosmetics and mounts, but man oh man do I understand where you're coming from with the immersion issue. We have a Snow-White-going-to-the-ball coach skin for a caravan. We have so many different, outlandish mounts and cosmetics that there's no way a society like the one depicted would generate all these radically different aesthetic, cultural motifs. The whole panoply says "this world isn't a place; it's a game." But if you want an mmo that is exactly as you like it in every way, you better have Steven Sharif money. So we'll just have to live with those few things that dissatisfy us.

does anyone know if there'll be designated shops that players buy the land for in nodes
spring dagger
"Once the economic node has reached metropolis stage, personal shops may be placed anywhere in the world.[3][5]"
does this refer to anywhere in the nodes ZOI
or is it actually anywhere in the world

but thats discussion not question
thanks for the help

does anyone know if merchant ships will go down rivers and nodes near them will have ports like that
