Forums is generally a better place for organization, and where it's easier for people to find and read through feedback.

While you're always welcome to share your thoughts here on Discord (just not in the #questions channel. Consider #aoc-discussion), forums is better place to document suggestions, or find a previous conversation on this topic and add to it.

is there any chance to win alpha 2 key?

[desert ivy]

Once or twice a year they giveaway a few keys, most noticeably during their 24 hour extra life streams in November

[slim bolt]

Okay thanks

Also some of the Content Creators won a few keys last year and they are giving them out (or have already).

Just wondering if there is an unofficial (NA) RP server planed by the community? If so what server will it be?

There's an RP DIscord server, they'll probably all congregate onto the same server come launch

Doesnt sound like a berserker like class. Sad

[meager yarrow]

The class system will have main arch types with ability to specialize in another class at a later level making 64(?) classes total. We are still learning the main archetypes as they are built but I’d expect at least one of those combos to satisfy your request. I’d say just watch out for more info once the main classes are done

Keep in mind they are keeping most of the lore secret in order to keep the actual game launch interesting

Oh I see, it would be really cool if they would put out some small short stories about some mobs or locations to get excited about!

[spiral pine]

they do have some short stories about mobs and locations

unsure if they're in that wiki link or not

The Wreckage of Carphin

The Wreckage of Carphin is a zone in the Riverlands biome.
It was a focus of the mages and study of the Aelan Empire. Carphin was a city that had a great mage population, so it had a university there. And things went bad there in the last days of the fall. They made some desperate measures in a really awesome quest series that Scott's written up....

is there a graph somewhere stating what the most played race/ class combos will be? im super interested to find out where ill be sitting

[desert ivy]

There are a few community ran polls with like a few hundred votes but we haven't seen a single class yet so no one can say for sure what they'll run

[dense pike]

damn looking for polls on where Tulnar sit over Humans

[unreal latch]

Can I will my founders pack to my kids? 🧐

[ruby swift]

According to the TOS. No.

[fluid needle]

pathfinder*. steven plays pathfinder not dnd

[marsh sphinx]

will the rogue use dual vield or single blade like L2?

[fading latch]

You can choose between either. Weapons are universal across all classes and archetypes. However, you may be proficient in some weapons over others due to abilities and harmonization @marsh sphinx

[fluid needle]

there was a showcase of dual daggers some months ago as well

https://youtu.be/t3LydR8VssY?t=709

[marsh sphinx]

bah that sucks

[fluid needle]

a very small part sadly

[marsh sphinx]

L2 did so good with dagger classes

[fluid needle]

Ashes isn't lineage 2. Weapons and armour are not restricted by archetype.

[marsh sphinx]

armor was not bound to class in L2 either

but stewen said he draw inspiration from, L2 and i was hoping the Archers and dagger classes would be the same

[fluid needle]

If you want to continue discussing this please move to #general-discussion or #aoc-discussion

[desert ivy]

He draws inspiration from multiple games but he doesn't draw inspiration for the combat from L2

Eve Online with its regionalized economy and risk vs reward in transportation.[10]
ArcheAge with its building systems, transportation and naval combat.[10]
Star Wars Galaxies with its crafting systems.[10]
Lineage II with its risk vs reward, castle sieges, flagging, open world PvP and guild progression.[11][12][13][10]

[karmic hinge]

Question will warrior type class will be able to wield dual swords? Or maybe there be like fist type of class

Any class can wield any weapon. You can dual wield 1h swords

To my best knowledge, we haven't shared details like that on the Cooking gameplay layer. This may be an interesting question to add to the Livestream Q&A.

Intrepid replaced the first recording of the ingame footage of the tank update on both yt and twitch with better quality footage. Is there any way to access the first recording?

Best way to is to look up Ashes of Creation January 2023 Livestream Reaction on YouTube/Twitch and find someone who reacted live to the stream. Should be January 27th.

Like so: https://youtu.be/xXbV3g1Eo5k?t=10740s

[gray briar]

What is Ashes of Creation doing to tackle common MMO problems such as botting and real money trades that ruin the fun for the regular players?

[tranquil willow]

They plan on having software that detects such behavior. More importantly, they will have active game masters that monitor each server

[gray briar]

the same was for example said on flyff universe even using ai to detect and they still cant handle the situation probably need to get a bit more creative then just trying what every other game has tried and failed at

[sick night]

Most MMO's have to deal with duplication bugs and the like. Once an exploit is found, I hope AoC will be able to minimize the damage.

[arctic sky]

They won't tell us everything they are doing for obvious reasons

[tawdry stump]

Has AoC considered asking the community for help in trying to duplicate gear and such? Sort of like a bug bounty program or something like that?

[warm onyx]

During testing people are asked to report bugs. Many game breaking bugs were reported in prior testing phases and I’m sure many will be in the future, too.

As far as I’m aware, they currently aren’t paying anyone for that

what time is ashes going live?

ew why does it say 24th on friday then

i stayed up for no reason

[digital sonnet]

The next livestream is Friday, February 24 in California, 11AM our local time (PST).

When possible, we try to have Discord localize to your local time, like it does above. When we don't localize with Discord, we try to include a link to a site that will show the date/time to you in your time zone.

[dense pike]

thanks, its just annoying catching a live stream usually means wake up Very early, or dont sleep, theres no win for australians and maybe aome others idk there time zones

[digital sonnet]

Totally understood. Ashes of Creation is a global community, and we try to have posts convert to local time when possible so people can plan. I'd be frustrated too, if I stayed up late or woke up early for something, just to realize it's the next day 😓

[dense pike]

its not just ashes but at least you guys try to be inclusive to australians. im pationate about ashes and want its success so badly so ive been trying to catch every stream even started posting on the forums too recently, i have so many questions i want to ask but i dont think id ever get to sit down 1v1 with steven and ask so this os the second best place

[warm onyx]

9 out of 10 times the livestream is at 11am pacific on the last Friday of the month. They have to hold them during regular working hours and when their employees have free time between meetings.

You can post your questions on the forum thread that’s usually up a week before the stream.

Occasionally Steven also holds AMAs on places like Reddit, like he did a few months ago.

Lastly, every once in a while he would pop until general chat and answer questions (usually during his lunch and/or dinner), like he did about a week ago.

As far as access to asking developer questions, Intrepid does a pretty good job.

Also Roshen and Vaknar (the Community Managers) are on discord every day to help answer clarifying questions.

[plush hawk]

As an australian, you seem to be awake at 5:14am asking this question so it seems like it's not a big issue that you can't at least wake up for the livestream on a weekend. In regards to missing streams, they're really good at making sure the stream is uploaded to youtube quickly, you can also rewatch the stream VOD for free directly after the live portion on twitch.

The bot does convert the time for australians btw, so don't go by the announced date on the news post but double check using the .!stream command.

[frigid fog]

Anyone know what teaser thr upcoming livestream is about?

[desert ivy]

It's a UI walkthrough

We didn't do a "teaser" this month, because we're literally telling people what the February 2023 Development Update Livestream will be about.

[grand nexus]

Ok so something I just kinda thought of out of nowhere, is what is stopping an entire guild per say from having players dedicated to ganking other innocent players, and having other guild members essentially guard the corrupted players until their corruption is grinded off? Do you get corruption for killing a bounty hunter? Or for defending a corrupted player? Or do all players in say a party get corrupted if one player does something to earn corruption?

[undone moon]

With the voyager plus pre-order package how does the name reservation work?

[worn wagon]

Once name reservation is available, you'll recieve a token which you then can use to reserve one name on one server

[undone moon]

do you know when it will be available?

[dark jungle]

No dates are known

[undone moon]

[frosty viper]

No, you do not get corruption for killing a bounty hunter if you are already corrupted. And no, you don’t get corrupted being in the same party.

Quick question relating to one topic from Steven. He said that crossbows won’t be in the game but the wiki states that it is gonna be one. Did he confuse the crossbow with a potion launcher or it is an intended design choice to remove the weapon altogether?

we will update the wiki based on that clarification

A quick question regarding the inventory topic mentioned in the livestream. Steven said that there won't be any encumbrance in the game but what will prevent players from stacking a million ores or certain weapon types that kinda makes using a caravan irrelevant? Is it gonna be where items take physical space in your bag like a staff will take more space in the bag compare to a potion where it will take 1 or 2 slots in the bag?

I heard that there would be options in the settings to configure your UI to your liking, I was curious if there was going to be a transparency opacity slider where I could have the background of most things be seen through so you could see if someone was trying to gank or if something funny happened

[cunning compass]

yeah would be a nice addition, but not really vital

its literally 5 minutes of work though

[fluid needle]

The team wants to make sure you never feel like the UI is lacking if possible so it will be extremely customisable. If you would like to offer them the idea your best bet for them seeing it would be to open a discussion about the UI features you would like in the forums as they don't really take suggestions in this channel

they show 1 type, don't forget u can have 2 archetype and different spell with that ^^ and Steve was lv 25 so he don't unlock all spell i think

your secondary archetype does not give you a new skill. it gives you augments for your primary archetypes skills

for me if u'r skill take a power up it's a new skill but u'r right ^^

[nova jewel]

hello, the developers have mentioned the plant for launching potions many times, but each time the information about it changes. at first they mentioned that it would only be an installation on ships, then they attributed them to the same type as rangers' weapon, and then again they said that this was just a installation on a ship, but with an emphasis on the magical effects of magic and potions. has the opinion about this weapon changed? Will they come to their senses and let the rangers limit their choice not only to bows and crossbows, but also to such weapons unique to the genre? please don't turn such an interesting idea into a simple tool for pvp on ships, just separate this type into a light version that can be used by rangers and a heavy version that can be installed on ships.

[young latch]

Steven is really pushing for players to find out a major of information for themselves when the game releases, so he probably isn't showing all of the skills they have so far on purpose.

This is a great opportunity to start a forum thread with this awesome feedback. Because none of the devs will see it here. https://forums.ashesofcreation.com/categories/aoc-general-discussion

[slim vault]

XL games already tried that idea in ArcheAge with Gunslinger class and Shotgun type of character weapons... I would say it didn't really go well. The initial idea and power made gunslinger shreding all sorts of armor/defenses and led to gunslingers 1 shotting tanks in melee range 😄 Since then it has been nerfed quite a few times and it really isn't that viable anymore aside from the fact that it looks different and you can choose to be underpowered but with style points 🙂

In a thematic that the game is in... shotguns/railguns does not make sense to be yielded by characters simply because that's not Eve online or Star wars.

Characters here will be running around with cloth/leather pants and t-shirts, probably only tanks will have some sort of Iron-forged plate armors with paper sheet thickness and it does not really makes sense to have an ordinary weapon of this caliber.... It just does not fit 😄

Hi guys I have 2 questions:

• After the alpha 2 starts can I still buy one of the packs that gives me acess to it? Or do I have to buy it before?
• I read that the alpha 2 server will be a persistent one, so if I buy the acess to alpha 2 I can play the game until the launch with it right?

[fluid needle]

ashes is strictly anti-firearm as they believe it doesnt coincide well with the fantasy feeling theyre going for

[fluid needle]

you will get plenty of notice before a2 packs are cut off from sale (likely months)
a2 is aiming to be persistent until launch so yes if you have access and a2 is launched you should be able to jump right in until launch

[nova jewel]

then why do they release concepts and think over a whole system of weapons based on launching potions

[fluid needle]

because concepts are just concepts. theyre ideas. also ashes of creation apocalypse isnt ashes of creation. if you want to discuss this further we can move to #aoc-discussion

[young flint]

With crossbows and potion launchers being removed, This further implicates the problem I have noticed with the current state of this civilization of people we are going to be playing. Why are a people who were taken from a high magic, fantasy world and thrown into a world with literally no magic not advancing past what seems like early stage medieval technology? They lived without magic for thousands of years. Are you telling me there was no strife, war, conflicts, or any problems that needed to be solved with the sudden lack of magic? It would be understandable if they had started out as literal cavemen or something but from what we know right now, the societies technology quite literally stagnated and no advances were made.

I really would like some more insight on this from the dev team as this has been bothering me for a long time.

[dark jungle]

the devs do not generally answer questions here. this is where community members help eachother. i suggest you post on the forums where its more likely to be seen by a dev

[young flint]

eh. oh well. its not like they post there either lol

[desert ivy]

Humans first appeared on Earth like 200,000 years ago and we only invented guns like 1000 years ago. Not crazy to think the races on Sanctus didn't invent that stuff

[young flint]

im just thinking that sanctus must be the most holy of perfect paradises for all these different cultures to be shoved into it and not have enough conflict to generate technological advances. What people dealt with for so long was just trying to survive the natural world. Our recent advances are due to internal conflict between cultures. Mainly because coming up with ways to deal with another intelligent being are more thought provoking than say hunting an elk or fighting off some wolves.

Good idea

[thick owl]

I got a question about the map and node arrangement. I'm aware that content and mob/resources evolve along with the level of the node. However, would nodes situated closer to the middle of the map have higher tier content at the same node level as those nodes near starting areas?

[dark jungle]

All nodes level based on the experience gathered by nearby player activity. Nodes near starting areas will benefit from that traffic

[thick owl]

Yeah I know that. My question Is would a, say, level 3 node located near the middle of the map have higher tier content than a level 3 node near located near the starting area?

[dark jungle]

No

As I said, nodes level purely from player activity. There are no special geographical bonuses

[thick owl]

Oh I see

Then What would be the incentive to move to a node further away from the starting area in that case?

Different biomes giving different content ?

[dark jungle]

There is no simple answer to that. Nodes will level based on where players generate the most XP. This will vary over time due to many factors. Resource locations, points of interest, trade routes.... Etc etc. It will be a dynamic world. Hard to predict

[rancid cypress]

yeah, different nodes will offer different content for people. not only will they be separated by node type, economic, military and so on. but the surrounding area of those nodes will have different animals and access to separate quests, dungeons and possible world bosses when leveled.

I see that makes sense

Eyy, I'm new here and I gots sum questions:

From what I've heard, seen, and can understand: Ashes is designing a hybrid targeting system that seamlessly and successfully toggles between an action targeting mode focused on player placed/targeted skill shots and combo based basic skills and a tab targeting mode focused on computer based targeting selection auto shots and rotation based special skills and auto attacks. Players will be able to play a style that is 75/25% ratio of either mode. Is all that right or nah? And lmk what I got wrong, glooks.

[ancient egret]

that is what we have been told or at least close cant be asked to deep dive the wiki, but everything can change so we are mostly waiting for alpha 2 to see how it will work in practise

[tender widget]

Hey, maybe a frequent question but, will we be able to respec class? if im bored to play archer for example can i spec to tank or i need to start a new char?

[spark musk]

Also, to elaborate on what I mean by the half combos half rotations thing; I'm tryna say that from what I can understand, Ashes will have both. Players who prefer and choose action targeting and combat will be able to manually select their targets and their attacks will consist of basic skills chaining into one another (sum like BDO maybe? Like up key + light attack with a punch animation=uppercut, down + light attack with a kick animation= =sweeping kick). Meanwhile, players who prefer and choose tab targeting combat will be able to select tab to target and their attacks will consist of special skills located in the hotbar being used in a rotation (like fireball special skill does stun, and force bolt does knock back so I rotate those skills to stun chain in between cooldowns?)

I saw this in the wiki article page and although it seemed intriguing; I was wondering whether it was more action based like BDO's system or tab targeting based. For example, in BDO: direction attacks were attacks created by chaining a directional key with an attack key (be it a basic skill or a special one) so by pressing the back key and chaining it into the dark explosion special skill, my Sorceress char could do a flank attack by teleporting behind the opponent and causing an AoE explosion effect around them. Will it be something like this?

Similarly, interrupts as a combat mechanic r also mentioned and it left me wondering whether it'd be like the interrupting mechanic in ESO, where u interrupt an opponent casting a skill by blocking and immediately pressing light attack to "bash" them or by quickly casting a melee or ranged spell interrupt them

[fresh urchin]

it's not like bdo at all, the system is more similar to gw2. there's 2 different things that often get mashed together, but they aren't the same.
There's the camera mode, and there's skill type.

Players can swap between action camera mode and non action camera mode, this is just a camera mode though, action camera will essentially soft tab target whatever enemy your camera is facing, and the keybind for the basic attack changes to clicking the mouse. It also lets you freefire ranged weapons like bows towards your cursor even if there's no enemy there. You are still able to hard tab target just like in non action camera mode, and this hard target will override your cursor position soft target if you choose to do that

skill types are a different thing entirely, there's targeted skills and template skills.
Targeted skills must have a target, and that target can be either a hard tab target or a soft action camera target.
Template skills are things such as aoe attacks. These do not involve a target at all and simply hit everything within their template. These skills will be aimed no matter which camera mode you're in, generally (maybe always?) simply aiming forward whichever way the camera is facing.

the 75/25 thing is related to the skill types, the idea being that players will be able to lean more towards either template skills or targeted skills if they wish.

Directional attacks is simply referring to attacks that are more or less effective based on where the user is positioned relative to the target. This is a system that's used heavily in FF14, but it's been in other games as well. Things like "if you use this attack from behind your target it deals double damage"

[fresh urchin]

we dont have much information on how interrupting will work

[storm hound]

Do we know what the next development update will be about ?

[tranquil willow]

It will be done in or outside of the Tower of Carphin. That we know
What about is still not clear

[storm hound]

Alright sweet thanks bro

[cobalt shale]

Discord question...when I've been away from a channel for a while, I get the red line that says "NEW" at the top, but when I scroll up, the line disappears. I have to scroll for pages to find the real "NEW" lines. Is there a faster way than scrolling to get to the actual new messages in a thread?

[forest heart]

Is there a new store bundle this month that will rotate out the old one?

[worn wagon]

It will swap over on March 8th, so in about 2 days, depending on where you live

[manic drum]

I have a question, I’ve seen some of the gameplay and videos about the game and it seems fully fleshed out, what do the devs still have to do until it’s ready? I know they still have a lot to do, just curious what specifically

[civic obsidian]

An area being done visually doesnt mean the game is fully fleshed out by no means. Theres a ton of system to implement

Everything from gathering to crafting to the combat system itself (weve only had a preview of a few spells)

@manic drum

[manic drum]

Ok thanks Arc

[spark musk]

Btw, will Ashes have minor combat mechanics like juggling or cover? For example of what I mean: juggling would be done thru using an attack that launches an enemy or enemies up in the air and then continously using other attacks to juggling them in the air. Like stun chaining, kinda. As for cover, I mean sum like an FPS cover mechanic. Say I'm playing a Ranger out in the open, and it's a pvp zone and there's a guy in front of me but I use surrounding objects like say a stone for cover by hiding behind it, crouching etc.

[daring warren]

Today I bought elder scroll obivlion, I never played a ES in my life. I like that you need to aim the spells to attack enemies. Do you have any idea if the action system is going to be like this in aoc?

[digital sonnet]

Hey there! "Juggling" sounds a bit like crowd control or stun locking. We plan to have diminishing returns on things like this, to avoid stun locking. You can learn more about what we've said on this topic in the wiki here: https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Crowd_control

Regarding things moving in the way of projectiles, this answer from a previous Q&A may explain better how we're approaching this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjEP4P5vDZI&t=2892s

[digital sonnet]

Players in Ashes of Creation will have a choice between tab and action (aiming things to hit enemies) combat. Here's some more info about what we've shared regarding both tab and action combat: https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Hybrid_combat

[covert mulch]

@manic drum there not only trying to make this game the best mmo ever but there trying to make the most complete alpha there ever was .

[manic drum]

yeah

but I was just wondering what specifically they still had to work on

[spark musk]

Yeah, u could say that. And I see, I'm pretty mixed on that decision ngl bc although I appreciate the combat team paying attention to pvp power creep such as stun locks and other hard CC locks; I'd also like to abuse them for myself lmao 🤣 😅

As for the link that u sent me, it doesn't quite answer my question, if at all. See, what I was asking was whether a cover system would be in play; similar to the ones present in most FPS games, which r basically the ability to hide behind obstacles as a damage mitigation method as well as peak through obstacles to attack from cover. Is such a system present, and if not: is it planned to be implemented or not? Y or y not? That's all for now.

[lean marlin]

Line of Sight will probably exist.

[spark musk]

What's that and how does it relate to my question? Also, how is it significant to the combat, if if all?

[lean marlin]

Line of sight is you being able to see/attack something with an ability. If I hid behind a tree, and im not in your line of sight, you might not hit me. Currently we've seen that there is collision with some things. So LoS/cover is something that will probably remain. Anyway, collision exists.

[spark musk]

I see. That sounds great then, I dig it fs; keep on keeping on y'all, we believe in u fr 💯 🙏 💪

Mb, I have just a few more questions: will this LoS/cover system work through movement/mobility controls like crouching or a prone mechanic which blur enemy sight or sum?

Like crouching to get behind a rock and use it as cover, which blur my enemy's LoS or going prone to fit under flat obstacles and narrow spaces maybe.

[ruby swift]

There are different mechanics planned for los and cover planned. There is information on the wiki and a few livestreams where it has been mentioned. There will not be prone.

[spark musk]

Could be great for environmental and stealth combat which btw, I was also curious abt: will stealth be an actual in-depth mechanic and option for all players or will it be restricted to stealth archetypes like Rogues and even then limited to only a few obvious skills like invisibility, disguises, climbing etc.?

[ruby swift]

True steath exists as part of the rogue archetype and possible augments as a secondary. There is no "full invisibility" as of last stated plans. Think of Predator invisi, sort a blur will still be seen.

[spark musk]

I see, ty I'll check them out if and when I can then. Also, y won't there be a prone mechanic?

[ruby swift]

This link may help you more narrowly define your questions. Happy researching. https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Combat

[spark musk]

I see, got you; that's fine, although some additional info on the true stealth mechanics planned for the Rogue archetype would be nice and appreciated. Also, does this mean that stealth is a completely unavailable option to non Rogue archetypes? Maybe some small stealth elements could be available to all players, in the form of universal skills similar to how active blocking, dodging, and interrupting r. Rogue class augments could allow this as well. And I see, I'm down for the camouflage mechanic/visual aesthetic for the Rogue skills ngl

[high lion]

So I have a question that I have not seen asked but might be wrong.

When the persistent Alpha 2 is opened up, will people no long be able to buy access on the Ashes shop or can people continue to join over its duration?

[worn wagon]

Intrepid hasn't shared yet when they will discontinue to sell A2 packs but there will be ample notice before they'll remove them from the shop. As comparison, you were able to buy A1 packs even after A1 started

[high lion]

Thank you good to know 🙂

[teal warren]

hi all. ive scoured the forums and tried to figure it out, but to no avail.... i have reached out to support but no answer yet, so i will try my luck here. please dont come after me with pitchforks and torches if it is a stupid question.... i bought the 375 $ pack yesterday and i have the receipts and all, but i cant find a client nor did i recieve any code or similar in the mail.... do i need new glasses and/or a brain or have i totally overlooked something

[spiral pine]

well you see

your key is applied to your account already

you dont have to redeem anything

[teal warren]

so... i cant play yet?

[spiral pine]

correct

[teal warren]

and as far as i can see there are no dates yet for when i can play?

[spiral pine]

correct

[teal warren]

well thats.... disappointing but my own fault i suppose

[spiral pine]

you can always request a refund

you have 90 days

[teal warren]

ok i will consider that... thank you so much for your time and answers

[high lion]

I had to delete the recruitment message in EU guild as I had sent it without some needed additions but am now unable to re post it as the auto mod has me timed out. Is it possible for someone to allow the post/overrule the bot on this one occasion please?

Sorry, rules are rules. You're going to have to wait until the cooldown period is over to post your recruitment message again.

Oh 😕 ok well my bad I guess 🤪

fixed it 🙂

[echo otter]

long time lurker here! I have a question about the weapons/armor for the class system. will there be items specific to say mage/bard that cant be used for mage/tank? or will items just be categorized by "all mages can wear this, all bards can wear this, etc"?

[worn wagon]

There won't be class locking for weapons or gear, so you can equip everything with every class!

[glossy void]

Will cosmetic skins be dyeable ?

[dark jungle]

yes some will

[spark musk]

Thas perfect

[digital sonnet]

We have a two channel dye system. That means individual dyes won't apply to individual pieces of armor/cosmetics, but it will work on cosmetic skins on the dye channel parts of the skin.

You can learn more about what we've shared regarding this, in the wiki here: https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Dyes

[glossy void]

Thanks for the answer !

[spark musk]

Will Ashes have combat or weapon stances, or both? Something like Nioh ideally, maybe?:

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjLy8qk5cr9AhUekokEHcneA2wQFnoECA8QAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.polygon.com%2Fplatform%2Famp%2Fnioh-guide%2F2017%2F2%2F3%2F14501140%2Fstances&usg=AOvVaw3QMyCYRXMV1GQx3eAA3XZS

I ask bc not only would it be cool, but also bc I recall weapon stances being considered "likely" in the wiki.

[dark jungle]

they are considering weapons stances

[warped dome]

How will you customer service work? Will you have good old customer service? Will you have in game GMs? Will we able to call for support? Or will you have currently bad customer support, like having to email and wait days for help?

[digital sonnet]

It's important for us to do Support the right way.

We do plan on having server GMs. You can learn more about what we've shared on this topic here: https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Game_masters

We try to get to Support tickets quickly, but our response time varies based on how many people reach out to Support at any specific period of time.

[spark musk]

That's cool, but how do they imagije/propose they'd look like and work? What's their significance in both combat and RP?

[spark musk]

Also, I've read and heard that collision mechanics will be a thing; both player and spell collision. In regards to spell collision, will it only affect player movement (like me and my friend are 2v1ing a mage and he casts a fireball at my friend and I run into the fireball, blocking it and preventing it from hitting and damaging my friend). Or will you be able to actually counter a spell with a spell (fireball x firrball=void/explosion, fireball x frostball=melted frost/frozen fire?), if so I think it could be rly cool and add a lot of depth and complexity to combat.

[ancient egret]

im am not trying to be rude but a lot of what you are asking is just whats planned and we rly have no way in hell to know how it rly will work before alpha 2

[spark musk]

All good but if my questions have already been answered/my ideas planned? Where can I see the evidence that backs that claim? Which comments, articles, or video times answer that those collision mechanics r planned?

[ancient egret]

all that we know is in the wiki with links to where it was stated bye devs

[spark musk]

That's fine, but I'd like to discuss these ideas for combat mechanics; which I'd I'd if it weren't for there being no discussion channel in my screen?

[ancient egret]

go to #read-me-first and click on the EN emote

to see the rest of the discord

and dont click it on and off quickly that will fuck it

do it 1s then wait a few seconds

[oak knot]

I think ashes has insane potential to do servers with altered variables… has there been any mention of this? Like on this server races are locked to certain sections of the map to guarantee racial architecture near an area, on another server settlements could progress twice as fast etc etc.

[spark musk]

Alr done, thx.

[crystal beacon]

So there is a guy who uses this discord to find people and send fishing links. Should I report it or is it not mods problem?

[rotund sky]

yeah just report it to a mod or something so they can alert

[crystal beacon]

I looked for a chat room here but didn't find one

[ancient egret]

you just dm a mod red name with a screenshot and a name of the account

[crystal beacon]

Alright, thanks

[rancid cypress]

there won't be alternate rule sets. the way it's planned now is servers will differ only from players' own actions.

current plan is no RP server limitations or alternate PVP rules.

[crystal beacon]

Hello, im french but i cant access to french chan i have only EN when in click on FR it dosen't do anything, sorry for m'y english and thanks 😁

you have the french tags so you should be able to view the channels. just click the language tag once and wait a little bit for the channels to show.

[lyric hollow]

can I upgrade a pre-order pack? example: if I buy the 75€ pack today and can I upgrade it to the 150€ in 20 days? will I receive the bonus items of the current date or future dates?

[worn wagon]

Yes, you can upgrade your pack. You'll always recieve the cosmetics that are currently displayed in the shop and only the tiers you don't already own

[lyric hollow]

So if I got the basic pack today I could get a Deepwood Syrinx but when I upgrade it in 20 days I wouldn't get Marinien's Herb Pouch but would get a Sage Plumph Companion?

[worn wagon]

Correct

It's worth noting tho, that after purchasing a pack, you'll be able to buy the cosmetic tiers you already own separately in the future

[blazing shale]

Still in Alpha 1? How far away is Alpha 2? I know I want this game to be great and be able to actually enjoy a game for years again but damn I swear it’s been in Alpha 1 for two years now. Lol

I guess I’ll come back next March, hopefully it will be in Alpha 2 then smh 🤦‍♂️

[bronze bear]

Did they dont say its will be done on 2023 ? or they say same every year ? 😄

[spiral pine]

Alpha-1 has been over since August 15 2021

[fresh haven]

? Above says Alpha 2 hasn’t even started what do you mean

[spiral pine]

Alpha 1 ended

and theyre working towards Alpha 2

[fresh haven]

Wtf does that even mean

[desert ivy]

[fresh haven]

Alpha 1.5?

[bronze bear]

its means soon will be alpa 2 ?

[fresh haven]

If Alpha 1 ended in 2021 wth is the current title lmao 🤣

[worn wagon]

Alpha1 has ended - right now, there is no testing online. Next up will be closed spot tests leading up to the Alpha2 test. Keep an eye on #news !

[fresh haven]

It’s 2023 lol 😂

[worn wagon]

If you want to discuss this further, please move to a discussion channel

[fresh haven]

So full release confirmed 2030?

[worn wagon]

There is no release date

[fresh haven]

It’s a joke

[onyx knoll]

Let's keep things civil please. The game is in active development, MMOs take a while to make and you can check the progress through the monthly livestream. They will share a date when they are ready to 🙂

[fresh haven]

Serious question: is it lack of employees that’s making it take longer and/or is it to make sure it’s 100% ready or as close to 100% ready for the next level. Sorry for the impatience but most everything out right now it’s so boring and dull. I can’t find a thing that doesn’t bore me to death anymore.

[plucky rain]

I’m sure they’re trying their best dude

Can’t ask for more, just play something else in the meantime

[onyx knoll]

There are a lot of core mechanics that need to be built for Alpha 2, there's no point opening the game to testing if there is nothing important to test. Intrepid studios currently has around 100 employees, which for a project of that size isn't that many, so that does impact the development speed, but they're also figuring out a lot of the core features around combat, which is quite the big task considering how many archetypes they have.
They're actively recruiting more people to join the project, but there's still a limit to how quickly a game of this size can realistically be made.

I understand the frustration at having to wait, it's one of the big problems with open development, since we're able to keep a closer eye on the project it's harder to just distance ourselves from it and forget about it until it's done, but Intrepid really wants to focus on quality instead of being pressured into releasing buggy unfinished games like some other studios I won't name. So unfortunately that means more waiting for us, but hopefully it'll pay out in the end 😉

[cobalt shale]

Another way to look at it is like this. Imagine there are 50 core systems (like guilds, quests, combat, etc), and each one takes 20 months for 10 people to build. They can't have 100 developers work on one system for 2 month and finish it so they can show it to us. All of these systems are in development at the same time by small teams. So, while internally their percent complete is going from 50% to 55% complete over some time period, they can't show us anything until a system is pretty much done. These numbers are obviously just made up. I'm just trying to describe why we aren't getting a string of systems being shown to us each month. Once we are closer to alpha 2, my guess is that we'll see a deluge of systems coming out of their pipelines in quick succession.

[fresh haven]

Yea and it’s probably hard for them to get employees without a big publisher behind them because they probably can’t pay what the big crap companies can pay so people go else where which is unfortunate. I wish the big boys would care more but they don’t and that’s why 99% of games get boring so quick. Last game I was actually able to play for years was ESO since then there’s been nothing, for me personally.

I am following this game since a year and excited about it

there will be just 5 castles in all the world, so we have to assume the middle one on the image is the castle, and the other 3 are normal/civilian nodes

[dark jungle]

correct. there are 5 castles. each with 3 castle nodes

the nodes pictured are castle nodes not normal nodes

[arctic isle]

Don't really understand what is the utility of the castle nodes x) just have some advantage for the guild ?

this one give the royal mount too no?

[dark jungle]

it's all described in the article linked above #questions message

TLDR The guild must develop those nodes to enhance the defenses of the castle.[2] It will be possible, but very difficult for a single guild to fully develop these nodes. They will likely need assistance from the broader community.[6]

[fluid saffron]

For dual wielding weapon sets is there hammers ,axes , exe.

The wiki states there is limited dual sets in the game 😞

[dark jungle]

we don't know all the weapon types that will be dual wieldable. they have shown daggers so far

Hope there is the usual dual weapon sets that would normally be present. Would love dual hammers for dwarves esthetic

Are there gonna be giant tameable rats?

[ruby swift]

The original stated plans were that all mobs with the exception of world bosses and certain named mobs would be tameable. Whether that makes it to live remains to be seen. Since Intrepid has spent literal years now selling skins for mobs with the tagline of "help support the game development by buying these skins that are mobs that populate the world" and we have seen a huge range of mob diversity shown in those cosmetics. Could be rats?

[lyric hollow]

Has any systems been mentioned on how to manage the pvp, So one identity doesn't overtake the server?

Name reservations haven't started yet and there is no date for when they'll start

GeForce Now currently primarily connects with digital game stores (Steam, etc). We plan to self-publish, and Ashes of Creation MMORPG won't be on Steam.

[hexed spear]

thank you 🙂

is there a way to join the alpha 2 test or the betas other than purchasing the packs?

[civic obsidian]

There some rare giveaways but its only a real small number

[coarse bronze]

thanks

[sick elbow]

so happy to hear this.

[glad pulsar]

How long has ashes been in development?

[tranquil willow]

Since 2016/17

[sage niche]

Has there been any hint at when we may get alpha 2? or is there still a lot on the plate to get ready for alpha 2?

[glad pulsar]

Thanks

[blissful oasis]

is there a list of all the animals in breeding so far
They posted a question asking what we would like to see but I don't know what is already being implemented

[desert ivy]

We haven't seen anything regarding animal breeding really so no

As far as we know it's not yet implemented at all

[spark musk]

Y'all think we'll be able to breed our pets w eachother to get a new per w specific combat talents?

[fluid needle]

yes.

If anyone has an answer to this please let me know. I got a new phone recently and when I restored my backup to it my authenticator apps got wiped for some reason so ashes is no longer tied to my app. Now I can't log in because I don't have an authenticator code thats accessible. Is there a way to reset it?

I don't see any "dont have access" buttons, and didn't see anything in support unless I missed it

[ancient egret]

you have to open a all around support ticket and tell them your problem

not much else to do

[grim breach]

!cs

[potent thunder]

Include more keywords after this command to search for answers to some of our FAQ (ex. !cs password reset), or open a Customer Support ticket directly here if you are having account or technical issues: https://support.ashesofcreation.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[spiral cape]

ok thanks I'll try it

[tawdry forum]

Pretty sure in most cases authenticators are reset on the backend

[full badger]

When you set up 2FA on your Ashes account, you should have received a secret key (very long string of numbers and letters). If you still have that, you can use that to set up the authenticator on your new phone.

If you haven't got the secret key, you'll need to send in a ticket using the link above.

[spiral cape]

I do have it but I wasnt sure where to use it. I have two authenticator apps and forget which one ashes was on. Should I use google auth or microsoft auth? Or does it not matter?

[full badger]

In google auth, there is an option to add a new authentication using a setup key, use the ashes secret key in that

[spiral cape]

Nvm, Got it now thanks to that, Thanks!

[full badger]

[onyx notch]

keep attention on this, its not for some reason, you simply cannot backup autentificator, atleast the google one, so every time you will renew phone or buy new one make sure you migrated the authentificator app, there is button for that in google authentificator

[spiral cape]

ok good to know

[hallow scroll]

.

[thick owl]

Is there going to be an area in the dwarf region resembling the Lonely Mountain front LOTR?

[spark cove]

Snowy mountain if my memory is correct.

And Nikuas are polynesians dwarves

[plush hawk]

There will be snowy biomes so theres no stopping players to create dunir dwarves and live in the snowy biomes. If you're asking about living inside mountains, i don't think thats possible as nodes will be placed around in the open (unless its an underrealm biome)

[spark musk]

Mountain nodes never even came to mind ngl

Would be dope tho ig

[tacit oyster]

Hey, has there been an estimated release date? Also is there anyway you guys are "preparing" for the game, something that might give you an advantage when it launches or making the playing experience more fun (besides the passes and beta tester packages, which I think are no longer up for sale, correct me if I’m wrong)

[worn wagon]

There is no announced release date yet There are still packages for Alpha2, Beta1 and Beta2 in the shop. Right now, we're waiting for A2 to start, but we don't have a date for that either yet

[tacit oyster]

Oh alright, apologies for my mistake, thanks a lot

Follow up question, will the B1, B2 & A2 players have any in-game advantage when the official launch takes place, besides playing experience?

[worn wagon]

Nope! Besides the testing access, the packs only contain cosmetics, embers (currency for the cosmetic shop) and some "free" gametime, which starts after release

[tacit oyster]

Ah so the embers can be used after the official release? And could you elaborate on the "free" game time?

[worn wagon]

Correct, embers can be used after release in the cosmetic shop.

The packs also contain gametime, which allows you to play AoC after release without having to pay the monthly sub of $15. But since you pay for the pre-order pack, it isn't completely "free" gametime

For example, the cheapest pack grants you 2 months of gametime

[tacit oyster]

Oh damn I didn’t know about the monthly sub lmao, aight so besides cosmetics and experience it seems alright, thanks a lot!

[fluid saffron]

why do we not get crossbows ? for the dwarves obviously in the 2000 years the dwarves were in the mountains they didnt make a crossbow ? we have large versions of a cross bow in all the castle sieges already

[spiral pine]

#aoc-discussion message

^

[meager yarrow]

Reading your questions I got the sense your looking for a paid boost or something. Everything in the store for this game is cosmetic and won’t give you the item. You still have to find the item in game to apply your bought skin for it. They plan to have no pay to win mechanics in this game. Sorry if I read into it

[meager yarrow]

You can logic it by saying their understanding is no one can figure out how to make it smaller. Just think how big the first computers were compared to your cellphone

[steep oasis]

i just watched a video for the first time for this game and im hyped. My question is, is there gonna be guilds to form a community bond with people?

[fluid saffron]

i agree its out of control that we just meta an entire weapon varient out of the game because we dont feel like making it is awful. you,ve gone so far with all the other creations and indepth bullshit why not a simple cross bow

[meager yarrow]

I do believe so. I do know the game is designed to be played by a 8 class party rather than one player so playing with friends is very helpful

[fluid saffron]

@steep oasis go to Ashes of creation wiki

[steep oasis]

cool thanks

[steep oasis]

its better to get insight from those who actually test the game in my opinion

[fluid saffron]

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/

there is simply TOO much to go over honestly

the MOSR indepth social game ive ever seen ! WHICH IS WHY IT NEEDS A CROSSBOW DAMIT

[steep oasis]

im sure they will add one later on

[fluid saffron]

can you honestly see a dwarf using a bow.... its terribly out of touch

[tacit oyster]

OH no dw at all, u read into to the perfect depth, thanks a lot for clearing it out.

(I'm just looking forward to the game a lot, and wonder if they're gonna do some hidden quests and items that very few players will be able to obtain and stuff, maybe i'm just reading too many webtoons lmao)

[fluid saffron]

next they'll be jumping through the trees like those dirty knife ears

[tranquil willow]

Need to go to #read-me-first and take language options

[meager yarrow]

The rarest thing in game will be the ability to fly on a mount. I believe it was only 10-20 people a server will have that status to do so. You have to either rule one of 5(?) castles, be a mayor of a metropolis(only 5 in a server), or get a temporary access from a boss drop.

Sorry

[tacit oyster]

noted. time to take over castles lmao

[storm mortar]

I also found my secret key I had the same issue as CiRcS, and it activated the auth, but won't take the 6 digit code online

[full badger]

Hmm, that's odd. If you're sure you put the secret key in correctly to the authenticator and it doesn't work, you'll need to submit a ticket I'm afraid

[storm mortar]

(I also put in a support ticket), ofc the one time I don't back up some MFA (I got like 20 for work so it got missed)

[storm mortar]

and I also emailed myself the code and directly pasted it so the code is technically right, whether or not there's another issue though

might be that then - sucks though i've moved like 4 times since then, and I don't think I still have that credit card anymore so i'm in a real crappy spot

[hexed minnow]

Yeah, they helped me a while back. Didn't take too long

[thick owl]

Would we be able to teleport between starting zones in case we don't like the starting zone we picked?

[spark cove]

Unknown at the moment.

Not in the moment. They will probably add them at a later time with an update. That's not confirmed though. But I am sure if people really want them, Intrepid will give it to them.

[stoic dune]

they talked about them in an update about them being a thing in the past but they removed them even though they sold skins

How are dungeons going to be formatted? Will it be a "roadblock" where you need to create a lobby and be teleported into the dungeon? Or will it be integrated into the actual landscape (walks into a cave only to find it's a massive labrinth-style maze)? I'm curious to see your interpretation of dungeons!

[desert ivy]

80% of dungeons/raids are open-world. 20% are instanced. The instanced ones are planned to be more of a narrative experience and won't drop bis loot/mats

[echo otter]

Great! I just imagine a raid group going to fight a boss passing a group of people just farming some ore lol

I mean you get to the dungeon entrance but it's walled off by a lobby creator/loading screen to actually get in. New World for example. you cant just "walk" into the dungeon.

[spiral pine]

you cant walk in because theyre instanced

[plush hawk]

The opened world dungeons wont have that instance barrier/lobby cause they're open, anyone can walk into an open world dungeon and pvp/pve. the 20% instanced are planned to be for story and narrative purposes

[cobalt shale]

Corruption rules apply in dungeons, right?

[plush hawk]

yes

[echo otter]

Good! I much prefer interactive dungeons than a linear path rinse and repeat one!

[rocky carbon]

But if 2-3 group want to fight same dragon who take the loot ?

Also I think instances dung / raid is good for team play open world is good but it’s MMO some time ppl need to do pve content without pvp

If it’s just open world gonna be like BDO and it’s end up solo play at some point

[worn wagon]

The group that deals the most damage. There is a bonus of ~5-10% for the group that has the first hit

[rocky carbon]

Oh no that’s gonna be toxic who ever have low dps not gonna find group 😂

And for the dung how many player can be in same team ( instance ) dungeon

[worn wagon]

That's why DPS meters won't be allowed

[worn wagon]

We have very little information on instanced dungeons, but we know that group sizes can be up to 8, up to 16 and up to 40 (raid) people

[rocky carbon]

Ok that’s dungeon coool dung scale based on party numbers 🤩

No dps meters that’s perfect because I did play a lot of games and the group end up being toxic if one of the party dps not enough end up leaving for my friends or because toxic people

Let’s hope they add enough dungeons instances because it’s MMO xD

[thick owl]

If I were to gank a player as a pvp flagged (purple) player, would he be able to fight back as a non pvp flagged (green) player? Or does he HAVE to flag (purple) in order to fight back?

I would land the first hit in this scenario

[modest vigil]

Players are flagged as combatants if they attack another (non-corrupted) player when carrying out a forced attack. If the attacked player fights back, they are also flagged as combatants, otherwise the attacked player will remain flagged as a non-combatant.[49][51][28]

[grand heron]

I have been biting my lip on this question for some time.
I've done pre - ordering thinking I was going to be able to get in on some of the alpha testing per say. That has not happeneded. That was 6 months ago.
I check in on what state the game is in and what is being shown and reported. My thoughts keep going to the Chronicles of Elyria. What was shown and what was developed was two different things and finally the project as a whole basicly collapsed and a lot of money was recieved by that development team.
What assurances can you give that won't happen here? When are we going to see what the official release date is going to be?

[desert ivy]

The official release date is years away

[thick fjord]

If all the existing information isn't enough to make you confident in where you spent your money, I'd recommend reconsidering the purchase

[glossy cove]

I never played a game in Chronicles of Elyria. We actually had an Alpha 1 play-test in AoC.

[cobalt shale]

Didn't they just finish upgrading from UE4 to UE5.something?

[desert ivy]

They finished upgrading to UE5 in like January last year

[digital sonnet]

We spoke about the move to 5.1.1 during the last livestream.

Here's a timestamp, if you missed this conversation (or want to watch it again): https://youtu.be/3FxHjg0YgiM?t=4487

Is there any news on a 'when' we will be able to play? 😄

[arctic sky]

Nope

[heady flare]

Use that command check on status. You'll probably see announcement before you get to discord though with youtube and articles etc. Everyone will be talking about it

[quasi estuary]

So....Is this discord a meme discord? How do people even discuss stuff, all I see is meme's everywhere

[desert ivy]

#aoc-discussion is used to discuss Ashes, but can be used for off-topic talk if there is no Ashes talk going on. If you want to talk about Ashes, bring up a topic. The issue is that there is nothing to really discuss regarding Ashes atm so most people here just shit talk

[silk gulch]

Is the game ashes of creation out

I'm trying to download the game but I'm having trouble

[stone geyser]

There is no game to download

[soft oar]

its really easy just invent a time machine and travel a year or two into the future.

[silk gulch]

How do I play the game

[soft oar]

you cant its not out yet

[silk gulch]

When is the release date for it

[soft oar]

they have not released an estimated release date yet. Right now we are still waiting on Alpha test #2. Alpha test #1 was up last year and only lasted a week.

[silk gulch]

Is it going to be free when it comes out

[ancient egret]

no

its 15 dollars for a months sub

and if you want into the alpha or beta you need to buy a pack

[silk gulch]

Why does it say pre-order

[ancient egret]

im not sure what your question is do you not know what a pre order is ?

[urban mason]

Any knowledge yet on this month’s livestream topic?

[desert ivy]

They're going to show off the area surrounding the Tower of Carphin

a dungeon, but they won't do a deep dive into the dungeon itself

[urban mason]

i see thx

[covert mulch]

I know it’s definitely been mentioned before , but if me and my friend want to duel without going corrupted we just have to flag up right ?

[desert ivy]

There's also planned to be a duel option

[dawn hatch]

how does the corruption gets reset after the pvp?

over time ?

or by death?

[covert mulch]

@desert ivy awesome thank you

[desert ivy]

@dawn hatch Dying removes a portion of corruption, so does gaining xp

[covert mulch]

Is there a dueling tourney discord yet ? @desert ivy

[desert ivy]

Not that I know of

[dawn hatch]

ok got it tx

[steady egret]

is there a ball park timeline for alpha 2, anyone know?

No

They don't give dates

wow just realized its been almost two year since alpha one concluded. I didn't get in as I was traveling for work, but watched vids and pre-ordered it after it.

2 years inded. But we're closing to Alpha 2 whenever that is. You'll likely have more chances to get in when that comes out.

yeah we slowly move towards alpha 2. Got my purchase and all with the key so i'll be able to enjoy the game when it eventually hits.

If I decide to buy this back now with the current cosmetic. Will I then get another option to buy cosmetics from another pack later on for a cheaper price?

will we be able to apply any skin to any race and any mount skin to any mount?

You can apply any of the costumes sold on the store to any race yes.

You apply mount skins based on the Tier. For example, you can't apply a Tier 1 Horse skin to a Tier 3 flying mount

[stable plover]

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Official_Content_Creator_program - Steven mentioned that there's going to be an NDA on some pre-A2 testing, but actual full A2/B1/B2 testing phases won't have NDA

[sleek stratus]

did steven ever said something about how long they want to run the consistent alpha ?

[fluid needle]

They want to run it until it's got everything it needs for launch. The betas aren't going to make massive changes but are instead used for polish and rounding out edges. It's not following typical beta development e.g. tarkov

Have they ever prec8sed if someone can just be an artisan Class? of course would miss out on alot but i wouldnt mind the role of a support Artisant for a guild or something 😝
