I mean the questions are just... how can i say it? overall, like it's either a yes or no, like "Do the summoner can summon something that deals physical damage?"
I think they already deceided if yes or no, no matter what is it ^^
ancient egret
dont think you are getting a answer to that before they either show it on stream or alpha 2
ruby swift
Questions are selected and answered during the livestreams and interviews. While you may want this specific thing answered, there are others that want something else. Sometimes there is no answer, because they haven't decided yet. But thinking that somehow yours takes a higher value and needs attention "because I want it now!" leads to a bad character arc here. Relax, enjoy, and let the development flow.
oblique ether
OH i totally get it ^^ i don't think mine is more important.
I'm already enjoying, hoping to see cool things soon !
oblique ether
Oh O.O Thanks ^-^

There are references to summoners' pets dealing various damage types based on augments: "Or... let's say your summon traditionally was some type of bear or bear cat, you could apply an elemental augment and now it could be a transparent flaming bioluminescent cat; and its damage would be fire based." It's not a big stretch that one of those types would be physical, but all we can do now is sit and wait for a summoner showcase.

January cosmetics?

oblique ether
Talking about cosmetics i'm really sorry to ask but do the skin we see in it can be used no matter the race you'll use? Like if you're a dwarf can you still wear that icey cosmetic ? same for orc etc... or if it's kinda class related and that's why sometimes we see the class of who wear the costum changes.
desert ivy
Any race can use any cosmetic
mighty gyro
Can someone explain how class combos will work like I’m 5
desert ivy
Your primary archetype determines what skills you have. So a Mage primary will always have the option to skill into Fireball.
Your secondary archetype gives you no new skills, but changes the effects of your existing ones. So a Mage + Cleric won't have "Healing Light" spell, but might be able to augment their Fireball spell to provide on hit healing
A common example Steven gives is Fighter + Mage. Thr Fighters charge skill might be able to be augmented by a Teleport augment from the Mage secondary so instead of physically travelling to the opponent they're charging to, they'll teleport to them instead
sour sand
Are shoulder armor always a pair or can you equip both seperate
hot edge
Highly doubt you can do separate
Otherwise they would probably have to make you equip 2 separate shoulder pieces also
Then can you equip 2 separate boots, 2 separate gloves?
sour sand
Would be nice
Better question would be will it allow to change shoulder coametics seperately.
icy quail
Better question would be will it allow to change shoulder coametics seperately.
I don't believe we will have "Morrowind armor mechanics" in AOC, it's too complex and has issues with clipping etc IMO
mighty gyro
@desert ivy that sounds a lot more manageable than I had anticipated. I’m glad it’s not trying to combine the abilities etc. that would take years and be wildly imbalanced.

Prime Time for Ashes to announce Alpha 2 in next 6 months. New World Keeps Tanking. Other releases have failed. Throne and Liberty is releasing this year (maybe). I normally don't talk here at all. But ASHES has a chance to shut all other games out and kill them basically if they can get Alpha 2 out and without NDA. Man I hope this game hits the mark. New World is the ONLY thing remotely close to playable (that is saying a shit ton) and Ashes has a Window right now in the next 6 months to Take the MMO world by storm and sit on top and just crush everything present and coming in 2023.

Hello and thank the gods for this excellent game coming out of a sea of bad mmos. Hail to Steven!
My one of millions of questions is, are you considering rare mounts and or racial mounts? For example with rare mounts would be the common elk and the rare being a named rare you could tame that is bigger or different in some way, larger antlers (thranduils mount) . And a racial mount would be something only one race can tame. I am extremely excited about animal husbandry in this game if you can't tell lol.
fringe junco
Racial influenced? Is that like the the dwarves starting area would have boar mounts? But any race could come and tame those exact same boars?
Thats incredible to hear about royal mounts, I cant wait
When you say True Flight , would that indicate there are types of flying mounts? Like flight but limited in some form, as in gliding, short range flight like turkeys for example,? Or is true flight just unlimited based off of height limitations? I played riders of icarus and they had a good mount mechanic but the game is almost empty and the rest of the game besides mounts is lack luster.
Ah ok, so T3 true flight is limited to 20 people, im guessing per server?
Interesting, so once the 20 are filled up, those eggs will no longer drop I would guess?

But Ashes isn't directly based off Pathfinder. Steven played a Pathfinder campaign and was inspired to make a video game based off the campaign he played. The world of Ashes, the mechanics, none of it are directly related to Pathfinder

digital sonnet
i was watching the AMA from October, and it mentions the professions list in it,...
There's not a specific "Ship Building" profession. Ships are built in adherence to a recipe. That recipe requires components. Those components adhere to different crafting professions that require a player to craft or purchase those components from the different professions and then once they have those accumulated they can do the construction process through the recipe system at a harbor.
There was a question about this in the October Q&A. Here's a timestamp to it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_P7AK22_18&t=5966s
wraith spoke
ok cool, thank you, Steven didn't specify if a profession would be needed to put the recipe together, so that part will likely be something anyone can do, and it would make sense then that say carpentry would make the wooden components of the ship
then maybe tailoring for the sails and arcane engineering for the alchemical cannons or something
grim needle
Woodcutter is required to cut wood while carpentry is required to build any with wood
Stages of Professions
For example you have a log that you want to be cut well theres different types of cuts : Wood Planks, Boards, Sheets, Blocks, etc
if you were building the sail support for the ship you would just have to cut off the branches and the bark and you are required to know how many logs you need to build it high enough.

So I'll preface by saying I know Alpha 2 hasn't been announced yet. However, I'm curious about what the testing goals for Alpha 2 are? I'm still hazy on where Alpha's are different from their Beta counterparts. As I recall it's "main systems" vs "overall playability?"
tranquil willow
A2 is essentially a content alpha
So, you're testing if game systems (like nodes for example) are working properly
desert ivy
By the time we get to Beta the game will be basically "complete". The betas purpose is basically marketing and last minute polish
tranquil willow
Betas are more polish and final bug squashing
chilly falcon
Okay got it. So the main delay on Alpha 2 is "Let's essentially get the stuff we're iffy on done so it can be tested" that way when beta comes around it's "We're pretty confident the game is done. Please break it so we can fix those things"

Hi. I saw somewhere AOC will have 500 vs 500 pvp sieges. How will this be done? Is this not too ambitious and won't these kind of battles be a lagy mess? What kind of technology are we talking that can host this scale of performance?

The goal is 500 v 500, their minimum aim is 250 v 250.

Forgive my skepticism, I just never thought this sort of mass PvP is even possible. I cant imagine the amount of effort they will have to put in just to make this kind of thing work without :

B: lagging badly

We don't know the intricacies of how they're creating their network to allow 250 v 250 - 500 v 500 battles, they obviously won't share that with us. The only thing we really know that they're doing in-regards to servers and networks is basically the map is split into separate "servers" so a fight happening in section A of the map has no impact on section b, c, d, etc. So even if there is a massive fight that causes lag in section a, the rest of the map won't be affected
They've been working on the network for a long time though. In early-mid 2021 we had alpha 1 testing and there were a few times we had 250 player fights with no lag

Something to keep in mind as well, these large scale battles have been achieved before, specifically in planetside 2, and AoC has hired some of the planetside 2 devs for that exact reason.

random question that i'm not sure if there's even an answer to - is the art style going to become less generic in AoC as the game progresses? Right now it feels like almost every survival game out there, if I were given a pic of one of the forest in AoC and several other forests from generic survival games, I'd be hard pressed to pick which one was AoC. MMOs like wildstar and WoW you can easily be like "yea that's WoW/Wildstar"
desert ivy
Ashes is going for a more realistic art style, not cartoony like Wildstar
Personally one of the reasons I'm looking forward to Ashes is because it has a realistic art style. I didn't play Wildstar solely because I thought it looked like shit art style wise

That is not entirely correct; you can purchase current + future (but not past)
Except for specific Kickstarter and Summer Crowdfunding items for people who backed in the past, once a monthly cosmetic is gone, you can never purchase it again
You can purchase individual items from packs from the same level you have purchased in the past but only for new/current packs. Not the old ones.
That’s what that picture is for. To show the pricing and tiers of each item
For example, no one can purchase the previous month’s ice pack items anymore. It’s gone forever

Up to you; we cleared it up. Just good to be aware in the future.

the question is regular mount, as in, just freestanding not hooked to a caravan- essentially the caravan mount skin does not also double as a regular mount skin?

No. The article specifically answers that
The caravan and mount components of the skin are not able to be utilized separately.

Yeah, VPN will be a thing. They anticipate many of their Chinese customers may need to do that to play.

We have no plans of taking Ashes of Creation free-to-play.
The reason we want Ashes of Creation to be a subscription-based game once we launch, is because this method provides funding and revenue for our developers to continue creating content and future expansion rollout for the game.

You can apply any animal type skin so long as the skin is of the same tier mount.
So you can put a Fox skin ground mount on top of a horse ground mount. But you cannot put the same Fox skin ground mount on top of a Royal/flying mount.
That being said, some mount skins can apply to multiple levels of mounts. The most common example being skins that apply to both level 2 gliding mounts as well as Royal/flying mounts.
The cosmetic skin DOES NOT change the underlying stats of the mount it goes on top of though.

If that is true hopefully they plan on expanding if their game takes off... Can you imagine being the 2 support people for several hundred thousand customers 🙂
So about 2.5 to 3 more years until a full release of this? I only just found it existence recently have not played an MMO in years this looks like it has promise. The estimated timeline on the wiki is really vague at this point.
One would hope but companies in the modern day do have, many of them a record of really horrible customer service. I guess these guys have a chance to stand on top and prove it wrong. I will wait and see. Release looks to be a way off still if Alpha 1 is still in progress.

no and kind of, action camera mode is just a camera mode, the game is hybrid targeting no matter what camera mode you're in, when you're in action camera mode you'll soft target enemies that your cursor is aimed towards. Some skills are template based, so they don't involve having a target at all and could be dodged, but those skills are always template based regardless of what camera mode you're in, and the same is true for the targeted skills.
The one slight exception appears to be bow basic attacks, which apparently kind of shift between being targeted and template based depending on if you have a target when you use it. They can be dodged no matter what mode you're in though

On the wiki, it says that "The more advanced a node is, the more freeholds can be built within its ZOI." Does this mean there will be a hard cap on free holds and its gonna be a race of speed as to how many will have the opportunity to own a freehold? What then happens to ownership if you lose influence of the node but then manage to take it back later? Do you regain your freehold or have to go through the process again?

There is no hard cap. The limitation is the price of the freehold plots (which increases as the node grows) and available plots within the ZOI. In terms of what happens to your freehold after a node siege, there is a grace period where your freehold can be adopted by an adjacent node. All of this is in the wiki article

We have very little information on what's in a "completed" state or not, and that's even assuming they're doing an incremental development style over iterative. Even the showcased things may not be in a completed state, and lack of information is deliberate so that estimates aren't created, as well as Alpha 2 being the first time a lot of things are even seen, in order to give players that "new game" feeling that would be missing in such an open development ecosystem

Steven has revealed that there will be spot tests prior to A2 (similar to A1) so you’ll hear about those in advance to A2 releasing.

higher tier resources are regionalized yes
tender hearthBOT
dark jungle
no
people drop any tier resources when killed
people dont drop finished goods, which are not resources
never has it been restricted to just basic mats
you drop resources and materials
you do not drop finished goods
tender hearthBOT
dark jungle
that is an assumption. many resources and materials will be extremely valuable
we cannot tell what is balanced or unbalanced until the game is ready to test in alpha 2
the risk of gaining corruption from ganking will be offset by the value of what can be gained. this is the value of risk versus reward
these things require actual playtesting by real players in order to balance
you cannot tell what is too high or too low because we do not know the values of things yet
barren kettle
just a doubt if I don't have PK drop items too but in risk zones or in all zones
warm onyx
You have the risk of dropping incomplete items anywhere
Some zones automatically flag everyone for pvp (oceans) but for the vast majority the corruption system applies
As far as we have been told, this doesn’t change anything about the drop chances
barren kettle
so whenever someone has a farm drop a % of it
warm onyx
A non-combatant (green) drops a certain percentage of raw materials, yes.
A combatant (purple) or a person who fights back, drops half that of a green.
Corrupt players drop both raw materials (at 4 times the rate of green) and gear. The more corruption you have, the higher your chances of dropping more raw materials AND gear.

people have been also estimating "maybe this summer" but its all guess work based on how complete what we see looks

So alpha 1 ended in august 2021 and here we are in 2023 with not even an estimate for alpha 2? Meanwhile 250$ packages with alpha 2 as the selling point were marketed and sold in 2020? Meanwhile there’s a steady stream of seasonal cosmetics readily sold the entire time?
You can see how this may be frustrating for some, especially if they had bought said package in 2020, right?
white wraith
yeah i can totally get frustration on that, but they did decide to completely rebuild thier combat

frosty viper
"but as a system, it is core to introducing risk vs reward in ashes." I got lost there. i definitely understand the risk part. But, is there wealth to be gained by PK outside of an event?
warm onyx
You can kill someone who you saw gathering in hopes of looting some of the raw materials they drop
The philosophy of the game is that they want to disincentivize senseless killing without outright removing the option from the game
So they heavily penalize it
frosty viper
are materials really that rare?
desert ivy
Depends on the material. Some will be, some won't be
frosty viper
what about events, like sieges, or caravans? is loot dropped at those?
desert ivy
Yes
rancid cypress
what about events, like sieges, or caravans? is loot dropped at those?
materials and items in an "unfinished" state
desert ivy
If you successfully siege a node then 2 things will happen. 1. The node becomes a PvP zone where loot can be found and 2. players Freeholds in the surrounding area will be able to be looted
warm onyx
Keep in mind that there are events where corruption doesn’t apply
desert ivy
Caravans ofc can be looted if they're successfully defeated
warm onyx
Corruption is for any pvp outside of the ones “sanctioned” by the game
frosty viper
but the sanctioned pvp events sound like they are only viable in groups
warm onyx
There are pvp zones and 1v1 arenas
Steven is trying to bring the massive multiplayer back into mmorpgs so they have systems that incentivize group play
frosty viper
and seems like such a heavy price to pay to maybe have a chance at material to be dropped that you saw a dude pick up. thats what meant by stevens comment. Usually high risk is rewarded pretty large. Ive seen alot of what this guy is trying to stop. But, these mechanics also hinder people from enjoying the game when they have more pure intentions than just senseless killing
warm onyx
I guess you are expecting them to reward such behavior but their goal seems to be the opposite - funnel most pvp into their pvp events and disincentive multiple killings outside of those
frosty viper
no. thats not what im trying to promote here

no. thats not what im trying to promote here
Most people will be flagged for combat, I think it might be rare to see people out of citys as "green" , the reward has to be higher drop rate or something if you keep combat flag on , corruption will only come into play when you see some nerds with no flag on , and that might be more rare then you think, is how im picturing it

When you attack a player you turn purple

A non-combatant (green) who heals/buffs/etc. gets flagged as combatant (purple)
There is a toggle where your aoe abilities won’t apply to combatants if you so choose
So you won’t accidentally flag yourself
fluid comet
But you can be in a party with the griefer, stay near him, do nothing and remain green?

If you are 🟢, and 🔴 attacks you, there is no way you can become🟣 and lose less stuff, correct?
warm onyx
You will not get flagged as combatant and become purple. That being said, not sure if they treat the % drop as a separate thing. @dark jungle ?

Waht do you think about the idea, to use something like www.menti.com . This could be implemented for Q&A so people could also vote up Qs that are important form the Community and selected from the community also they can be more part of the LiveStream in an interactive way #welcometo2023
dapper chasm
They do let the community 'decide' which questions get asked in the Q&A Section of the monthly stream. U can raise ur question in the forum and people can vote for them.
If they stick to the rules and IS has an answer for it or it wasnt already answered a couple times before it gets picked eventually.
Btw this channel isnt for questions like these. If u want a discussion or opinions better use the forum or the general chats here on discord.

Not sure if I interpreted info right, but can you cross breed species as well as just breeds? Or just breeds of the same species?

Ok, so the animals take on even the look of both animals mixed, right?

I think their point is that as green you can’t flag up by attacking the red

So it sounds like becoming a mayor is pretty much limited to content creators and alike, because why would the community vote for some random loser who wants to be mayor? Because he says he’ll make the best of the town? lol the mayor system is definitely cool, and being able to vote is also really cool. but only really well known people on YouTube and twitch will be mayors, at least, that’s my bet.
frosty viper
Ah, ok just one of this is vote. Thanks for the clarity
mint citrus
Wait I thought that hitting reds you remain green Nvm I see you clarified.

no if u kill a red player u stay red only purple can kill red player and stay purple ^^

Is there an answer yet to how many characters you can have on one account? Also while we have estimates for how long it will take to get to max adventurer level do we know how long it will take to get to master artisan in a profession?
desert ivy
No to both
warm onyx
“Comfortable amount” of character slots is the most definitive answer we’ve gotten so far (likely because they haven’t determined the final number either)

Hey, so, back in the day, I bought the 500$ pack to be an alpha tester, but I don't have any sort of alpha anything for my account
How do I fix?
spiral pine
have you logged into your account on https://ashesofcreation.com and checked your inventory
astral swift
There's stuff in there, yes
warm onyx
Do you mean you don’t see it on discord?
Did you connect your accounts
Keep in mind there are currently no discord roles for A2. Just A1 testers or earlier.
astral swift
I did forget to relink my accounts, but no I thought there was a thing for your profile on the AOC website for alpha
warm onyx
The only thing you’ll see on the account would be in your inventory and roles on the forums
astral swift
Hmmm, ok

So what mechanics in game make people want to have citizenship in a particular node?
Rather than just be a nomad

Access to upper tier crafting benches and organizations/religions seem big to me
frosty viper
Access to upper tier crafting benches and organizations/religions seem big to me
I ask out of curiosity for those who would play that way, I’m excited about the node system personally. So, in order to become better at a skill, you need a home in a node?
And is this the only reason? Because becoming a citizen requires a lot of loyalty to a node

Housing and access to other benefits from a node.

Hey, any informations about the Alpha 2 Phase?

^ all we have been told so far is recorded there

Do guild castles fall into territory that is ruled by a metropolis?
Or should I say, does a mayor, and king/queen rule on the same territory?
And if so, can a mayor rule over the monarchs? And if the monarchs pose a problem or anything the mayor dislikes, can he make that guild an enemy of the state, and eventually drive them out of the territory?
mint citrus
Castle regions and node ZOI can overlap. Guild castles tax revenue on nodes within its region.
There are certain things mayors can do and certain things monarchs can do, I wouldn't really say they "rule" over anything or each other. More info on that on the wiki. Not sure on the Enemy of State question, I would assume not.
warm onyx
Only known restriction for Enemy Of the State we know of publicly is not being able to select citizens of the node.

will i able to place pet skin on summoner pets? like i have the frost golem will i be able to use it on my pets?
or is it for normal pets? and if they are combat pet idk?
are the cosmetic pets are also combat?
or just to follow around
bit of a waste of having menacing ice golem as cosmetic pet xD
or you meant its cosmetic to the combat pet
as i might misunderstood you
mint citrus
Cosmetic pets are non-functional.

Something a friend of mine brought up that I couldn't answer, she's into RP and shit, will there be casual clothes for characters to wear for walking around town ECT ECT ECT?
Good, better chance of fresh blood to the cause.
graceful lion
this is a dumb question - if you buy the alpha key, can you only buy certain skins?
warm onyx
The graphic showcases each pack, plus what future skins you can buy individually depending on the level of pack you backed (you can always upgrade to a higher level pack in the future but you won’t get the cosmetics from the old one)
Only the Voyager and Voyager plus have the A2 access

Is the hot bar really going to be limited to 7 abilities and a weapon swap, similar to ESO?
rigid inlet
do we know when the next test are?
proven yoke
@desert ivy Oh thank god! Ty for the reply.
covert fiber
he only has 7 things equipped on the bar
AOC twitch account* says if we want acess to more items then people need to say that in the forums.
desert ivy
The plan is to have multiple hot bars. The reason you can only see 7 things on the hotbar is because the UI doesn't show empty hotbar slots
https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Action_bar
The maximum number of skills a player can have on their action bar will be around 15-20.[5][6]
Each archetype will have roughly 35-40 skills to choose from on average.[7]
There will be an option to include multiple hotbars.[2][4]

Will there be a significant gap between Alpha and Beta testing? I've been sitting on a Beta key for a while and I'm itching to play

Yes, you can

How do I contact the connector bot for PI channel access? Support on AoC’s website just directed me to the discord and told me what bot to talk to but not how.
desert ivy
Unless they've changed it, you needed to contact support to get given PI access. Here's the Discord connector bot though https://discord.ashesofcreation.com/
severe spade
Yea did that first part. Thank you for the bot info.
Weird. Accounts connected but still no PI access
desert ivy
First make sure it's the correct account. The Discord bot used to be really weird where it'd connect a "shadow account" instead of your actual one.
Next relog
If that doesn't work then Vaknar might help
ruby swift
PI access is manually granted after you fulfill their requirements.
severe spade
I did the support ticket stuff. The last step was connecting via the connector bot per the email
