I did a quick search on the wiki but didn't find any specification to it so this is purely curiosity, how rare are multi-seat mounts? Are mounts going to be mostly solo-seated or two seat mounts will be somewhat easy to get?

I have a question related to combat but since it's all being reworked it'd make sense if its unknown.
Are there any plans for active skills that have additional inputs to change the effect of the skill? Like say there's a basic fireball, but then if I hit the konami code WWSSADAD during the 1sec cast time it'll turn into a slightly bigger fireball. I've always thought stuff like that was a cool way to show mastery over an ability in games.

Dragons are in the universe of Verra, the specific summons are unknown - but a dragon does sound like a siegesummon that multiple summoners could do potentially. who knows

Sounds cool. I'm really looking forward of them showing the summoner off along the other classes.

I mean I think it was said during the season reveal that some spells might change a little due to weather influence?

Has anyone confirmed if there will be any systems in place for preventing vertical progression from making pvp feel super lopsided, as happens in WoW, especially in later parts of expansions where high gear can effectively one shot a lesser geared person who's also max level?
warm onyx
- Gear accounts for 40-50% of the player’s overall power in game; they want gear to matter and reward players who took the time to get it
- There is no power equalization of any kind
- Ashes is not focused on 1v1 and doesn’t balance around it so all of this is a moot point

Alright watching the update Steven confirmed we can't looney toons a falling tree onto someone's head (unfortunately). I know it was sped up for demonstrative purposes but does anyone know if fallen trees will take physical space in the world?
Like if I see a caravan coming and manage to block the main road, would the caravan pass through the fallen tree no prob or be forced to find a different route?
or even make a tree bridge across a gorge?
ruby swift
@outer inlet They had a QTE system like you are describing in their PAX gameplay demo years ago. The feedback on it was overwhelmingly and an immediate NO from the community. The same thing with hitting a random placed, timed "sweet spot" on a cast bar for combat. Could they go with it again? Sure. But the response will most likely be the same.

Most likely no. If you watch the videos the trees go "poof" fairly soon. They may have special trees that persist longer, but that adds all sorts of load and other issues to their servers. The same reason described why people won't be able to randomly drop items on the ground for others to pick up that persist in the gameworld for any significant length of time.
Those special trees I mentioned would be the "group gather" ones where you would use a two person saw to cut them once downed.

I see it was just the regrowth that was sped up. And ya good point on the server load since it may just be 10s of trees getting hacked away in any given area simultaneously. My tree shenanigans dreams are respectively "cut down"

grim breach
There's no PvP gear and it will not be equalized/normalized
There will be PvP specific enchanment slots as you progress in PvP events
grim venture
uffff I love it
I have always thought that pvp and its gear should not be equalized since that shows skill, luck to get and achieve
besides gameplay skill too of course
is legendary gear restricted to equip? example, in destiny 2 you can only equip 1 exotic per slot type so like 1 exotic weapon and 1 exotic armor type
I know that legendary weapons are super rare in AOC but just wondering
desert ivy
No it's not restricted

NOICEEE. ok last question. Will we get Apocalypse again in the future?

At least not in the near future.

tame sparrow
Hi just wondering if I'm correct with this one and want to hear the thoughts of artisans.
One concern I had was that there were mentions of over-farming resources or killing wildlife being detrimental to the ecosystem. One of the devs mentioned that the mayor of a node might speak out and tell people to reduce the amount of farming in an area so it can replenish, but there is nothing to stop rival nodes from intentionally coming over to over farm and ruin the ecosystem in the node, making resources harder to obtain. The obvious answer to this in most MMO's is to just kill them, but with the corruption system in place, I don't know how this is preventable.
Isn't there a token or declaration needed for this and also takes 5 days to start im more worried about this becoming a meta and ruining the over all gameplay for artisans
I might be wrong i just think if it starts resources might become more grindy to get
I guess having war is a way to stop this am I wrong in thinking that if everyone starts doing this resources and the economy may potentially be in trouble due to the ecological damage
Even though people go to war to stop this is there also anyway to tell which rival node is doing this if done discreetly

Co-op gathering sounds very cool, but what will make that attractive? I mean if we get solo for example 5 Iron Ore, will we get in co-op mode 6 or 7 Iron Ore each? This would make the gathering in co-op party mode much more attractive.
Just like hunting/killing monsters, will co-op make players get a bit more exp from a monster?
I played an mmo long time ago.. there was a party "co-op" mode. If a party started killing monsters, the next monsters which respawned nearby that location were "party monsters" which was like 5x stronger than normal monsters and gave 2-3x more exp. Such things would be amazing to see in AoC.
green maple
We have to be clear that this is not new world. This could be seen as a restriction by new players who start solo or even want to play solo. Forcing to co-op might go hella wrong
spiral pine
Not everything is soloable and not everything needs a group
But the game is still an mmo which means you will have to interact and play with other people

Has it been mentioned whether the environment will play a role in hindering movement or "tripping", stumbling or making a player fall down due to low stamina or parkouring around such as falling off ledges or drowning?

Tripping over roots or foliage, etc
No stamina?

There is a town board system planned for people to post various notices. Whether you will be able to post "contracts" up that pay X amount for getting X resources to fill the order remains to be confirmed.
Other games have had similar systems in the past that were used to money launder RMT and gold botting. Placing high payouts for 1 iron ore for example.

I’ve been trawling the wiki for a bit and can’t find any info on power scaling. Just wondering, what kind of power difference a few levels will make.

Will bonuses from items be in the +2 +4 +8 type or in the +20 +40 +80 type. Will a level 40 and 45 be somewhat similar in scale or is it a massive difference?

So a guild can go 4x 30-50 people get all combat buffs or whatever the benefits are for being a smaller guild. and just dominate, forcing smaller guilds to always have 4 alliances that are really strong
light solar
I can see domination in war taking priority into alliances but then you'd still have to get other guilds to work together with you, I see it working in large scale and open world PvP if one guild tries warring a guild with an alliance to back them up, then all 4 guilds would have to dec your guild, assuming there is any resource required for war decs I'm not entirely sure.
It's a big thing in bdo and honestly killed the large scale PvP and open world PvP but to be fair the community is extremely toxic, I'm a happy part of the toxicity for a game that should be dead, the bdo devs are terrible braindead people but that's not the sole reason it failed, it became a grief fest. Not sure how that will translate to AoC but with or without the option to form alliances, they will happen regardless and you just hope you don't friendly fire too much in wars

Imo have it’s large scale sieges being a thing u kind of need alliances in ashes. Especially if you try to coordinate your full alliance to live in one node it’ll be a lot easier to defend/attack when needed

yea im just wondering if the "system" to make smaller guilds matter, can easily be bypassed and makes it a negligible system if its just meta for 250 person guilds to go 50 people, split up into smaller guilds and get all benefits
light solar
Yeah I'm not really for or against it tbh just making sure people are aware that what happens in bad games with alliance systems is bad problems
Like the griefing was intentionally as toxic as possible and all the wars were "karma neutral" since they're alliance decs but it was never traditional PvP, your intent was to spawn kill and camp the other alliance off the game lol

I have been reading a webtoon called taming master and its really interesting. I bring this up because in this story the character is a summoner and eventually is able to tame monster and breed them (basically animal husbandry) and use those as summons. Are summoners going to be able to use those animals if they advance that skill high enough? I only read something about animal husbandry so I'm not sure how it really works too well.

Summons are separate from taming aka animal husbandry

Considering that Keeper is Tank primary and Summoner secondary, your role will be mainly Tanking and probably only have temporary summons
As for types of summons that are available to Summoners:
Animals.[16]
Spirits.[16][17]
Zombies, skeletons and other undead creatures.[6][17]
Corpses (potentially).[16]
Some summoners may summon multiple things.[16]
Other summoners may only summon one powerful thing.[16]
Certain summoners may only be able to summon effects and/or temporary energies.[16]

How much will players be travelling in the game? Will they generally settle down in an area or continuously explore new spaces?

How much will players be travelling in the game? Will they generally settle down...
It depends on the person. Some will prefer to stay in a node, become citizens of that node and stay in that area - others will likely want to travel the world either as merchants or explorers. There are many options for players to do in Ashes 🙂
If you'd like to discuss this more, I'd suggest moving down to the #aoc-discussion channel to hear what others plan to do in game

Also almost everything is tradable in the game and you rarely get complete item drops. Most things you have to craft.

It may also depend on how those stats are allocated / what budget they are allotted. You can wind up in a situation where in some instances they're better or better situationally.

U3 A2 UHS-I (+Class 10) cards are most ideal (for the Steam Deck specifically).

Will the weather system affect players/mounts/npcs as well as the area it is in? I saw in the most recent livestream (amazing btw) that rocks, bushes, trees have snow on them as the snow is falling, I think it would be amazing to show the snow on your armor as snow falls on it, same with your mount, and the mobs/mobs armor that inhabit the world
dark jungle
yes it will
tender hearthBOT

aswell as the resources that can spawn. depending on weather conditions.
dark jungle
not sure if snow will accumulate on entities though, but it will on structures
cloud hinge
Same thing may be said about getting wet with rain, armor, fur. Getting wet when walking waist high in water or when raining (shiny look on certain textures) is possible?
dark jungle
all the info we have is in that article i linked
cloud hinge
ok thanks! Entities as in npcs or characters?
dark jungle
yes as in anything not part of the landscape
cloud hinge
Yes, that's what my question was more about, the landscape looks great with the climate, but for entities it would be interesting and would really sell the environment to have those entities be affected similarly to the rock next to it
spiral pine
Feel free to leave that feedback on the forums
cloud hinge
Another question, are the stats on armor/weapons that are randomly dropped by mobs in the world randomized (ala Asheron's Call) or are the armor pieces pre-made/configured and would randomly drop from mobs (ala WoW). I know @tight gale played Asheron's Call before, and one of the many things that made AC amazing was its loot system for which I have not seen in any modern MMOs, it made almost every item that dropped interesting and relevant (including it's salvaging skill where you can melt down all armor for crafting) http://acpedia.org/wiki/Items for more info on that system
spiral pine
dropped gear has random-ish stats afaik
left ginkgo
Ah, you maybe are asking something slightly different? Are you asking if they have set loot-tables on a per mob basis or are instead pulled from a shared loot table relevant to the content/mob level it dropped from? https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Loot_tables
cloud hinge
Slightly different, I am asking if the armor/weapons and stats of said armor/weapons that drop from a mob are (within that tier of mob) randomized with stats, or are they like "Longbow of the Whale" or "Longbow of the Tiger" where it's a pre made armor/weapon of different variant that may drop
left ginkgo
Right, so you're asking about random affixes essentially.
Two things to note from here:
tender hearthBOT
left ginkgo
Loot tables (drop tables) of world bosses or dungeon bosses have a small RNG chance of dropping gear (completed items).[2][3]
There is a small RNG chance of looting rare and legendary items or crafting materials from mobs based on the level, status and type of mob. This also applies to harvesting resources with a gathering profession.[8]
cloud hinge
yeah Bosses would usually drop a set type of item, this question is more focused on world mob drops with armor/weapons
left ginkgo
So, mobs can indeed drop gear items. However, it is rare that this occurs. It specifically cites gear (completed items) implying that it would be crafted gear relevant to that content/mob level.
Not entirely certain on this as I'm just going off the wiki, but that's my understanding.
cloud hinge
yeah sorry, it's a bit hard to explain the question, thank you for being patient

cloud hinge
@left ginkgo this gives more context to what I was discussing earlier, this is what Asheron's Call did for it's monster loot system, the loot stats are randomly generated at the time of the mobs death, there are no items in the game that are the same which drop from normal mobs in the world. This type of loot system makes almost all items in the world that drop somewhat relevant and not "vendor" or "grey" loot
https://darktideaccount.weebly.com/gear---suit.html to see a suit of this one would wear at end game
https://imgur.com/gallery/4nGg8 Context to what the MMO was to play to a degree
left ginkgo
Not sure you'll see all of those systems in place, but you will find many of them. Some potentially re-worked a bit and/or with different terminology used to describe those systems.
Grey items aren't really thing in general, so that extends to gear. There are "hunting certificates" for what are equivalent to grey items found in other games to be exchanged for currency via vendors in game.
Whether the looted equipment items you happen to come across end up as vendor fodder / deconstruction fodder / etc. is going to be pretty RNG though.
Gear stat budget won't allocate specific to your archetype / augments active. It will be random stat allocation.
cloud hinge
That would be great if some of these things make it into it, it makes the act of looting and looking at the stuff that was dropped just as interesting and engaging as the fight itself
left ginkgo
Generally speaking gear utilized by players will be gear crafted by players.
merry acorn
Or if gear did drop for specific archtype IT would be allocated Once its worn and then bound
left ginkgo
You may find gear outside of crafting, but its utilization will frequently pale in comparison due to the nature of the RNG stats.
cloud hinge
After playing something that has these loot systems, WoW's system (and almost 95% of modern MMOs) seem extremely boring and not engaging.
merry acorn

For me the necromancer is someone who can control an army of undead and by an army I mean at least 20 minions not 3 or 5. permanent minions Following you where ever you go . The necromancer must control many types of undead at low level zombies, ghouls, Skeletons , evil spirits and at a middle level he can control some skeleton warrior, skeleton mages , skeleton Archer , skeleton horse can ride it and in high level he can use death Knight, lich (can summon 5 minnons) ,hight level spirit , skeleton dragon,flesh golem. As necromancer I hope I can give my minnons orders like to Attack, defend, stay in one place, guard a specific place and person, walk in formation . I hope ashes of creation don't disappoints me like many games did

I know only a few kingdoms will be on the map (i think it was 5), just dont know if they are pre determined locations or if its just the first 5 that get to that high level node that achieve the title of kingdom/metropolis ?
desert ivy
Metropolis is a level of node. You alone (or with a group of friends) aren't going to be able to build a node up.
Nodes are predetermined. The node type becomes known once a node hits level 1
Castles after they are initially taken off the NPCs when the server goes live will be fought over in 250 v 250 man PvP fights each month. The location of the Castles are predetermined
long knoll
ok so castles are the games version of a kind of battle ground. got it
desert ivy
Not exactly. Castles are owned by Guilds.
crystal beacon
when alpha two comes out how long will it be avl if we buy the key for it
desert ivy
I guess you could kind of think of Castle Sieges as a big battleground fight. Defenders v Attackers.
desert ivy
when alpha two comes out how long will it be avl if we buy the key for it
They haven't said. All we know is that they'll give ample notice before they remove the A2 pack off the store. A1 packs were still purchasable while A1 was ongoing so it stands to reason that you'll be able to buy A2 while A2 is ongoing
Unless you're asking how long the testing phase will go on for
In that case, we still don't know. Alpha 2 servers are planned to run until the game goes live, even while Beta 1 and Beta 2 goes on
crystal beacon
that would make sense because i will buy one but only when it gets close to coming out because i don't wanna drop 150 dollars on something that will only last 4 months.
long knoll
do we know if there is any sort of protection against streamer hordes? this is a big fear of mine in games like this where 3/4 nodes will be just handed to streamers. combat towns will have viewers defending the streamer and then just hand them the win at the end. the towns where you vote will just have viewers vote for the streamer. viewers will just stockpile all there money into the streamer so they can win the bid for mayor...this could cause a huge balance issue with normal players...so im curious if there is anything to protect against something like this?
desert ivy
Nope. If players want to funnel their votes or gold onto a streamer, then the streamer will be able to become the mayor of those nodes.
The divine and military nodes most likely won't be that easy for a streamer to become mayor of though (depending on the type of PvP required for military)
long knoll
i just have to hope then that there is a mayor limit. so the same player cant become mayor of more than 1 town/node
desert ivy
There is. You need to be a Node citizen to run for mayor
And you can only be a citizen of one node per server
long knoll
ah yes i recall this information now. this is a relief to hear

Running multiple servers just to have two separate builds (Alpha and Beta) costs more money, and no company in the history of ever has kept a server running with an old build for exactly that reason

Running multiple servers just to have two separate builds (Alpha and Beta) costs...
- alphas and betas aren't products
they are there for the devs to have stuff tested and you don't really wanna waste time and money testing something that's obsolete
crisp meadow
Exactly. Alpha will just morph into Beta. Whether Intrepid decides to shut off access to Beta or not is up to them. But since a BIG part of the beta testing is stress testing, it would run counter to their objectives.
It is a safe bet that those A2 key winners will also get into Beta.
tender hearthBOT
dark jungle
you can speculate whatever you want, but according to Intrepid alpha 2 is running until launch (in parallel with the betas)
and there is valid reason why you run two different testing builds. you do not want betas to be the "hot patch" release. you want them to be stable for testing polish. alpha 2 will be less stable as fixes will be pushed there first and will only be pushed to betas when there is a stable build

why would there be a rule that says you cant do that the whole point of this is charity. why would you not be able to donate your self
strong cloak
I don't think you get what I mean

i do and if you did not get it then tldr there is no such rule
strong cloak

ancient egret

I won a key during the stream and it hasn’t shown up yet, so they just might not have gotten to it yet. I wasn’t too worried about it since we don’t even know when Alpha 2 will start

spiral pine
That's a bug fyi

Oh I figured that video was a bug, but even so you can make a huge world seem very small by making movement way too fast or having too many fast travel points
