have they posted this month’s update?

ancient egret

#

Has anyone upgraded to hero of the people in the last couple of months/years? I'm interested in doing so but i just want to make sure that the rewards are still possible. Like the unique pet, unique freehold manor, tour of the studio, etc. Or if i'd be unable to do those things so far into development.

dark jungle

#

Okay, i was just making sure the items that say "work with the devs" were still fulfilable because of how long it's been, and that we're growing closer and closer to alpha 2 launch.

#

Thank you!

dark jungle
#

no changes have been made to the rewards

bitter stone
#

holy, cant wait till alpha 2 release,, need to see the hugh scale GvG or PvP how they will handle the VFX

rancid cypress
#

We can't really speculate on that since the game isn't even out of alpha yet.

The specs on the wiki are from alpha 1 which ran on UE4 and had a much much smaller world than the planned scope for the finished product on release.

So you'd be best to come back and check when beta 2 is rolled out.

it was for A1 iirc

#

I also wonder about how far gone the graphical settings will be for alpha2 release, remains to be seen if my pc can handle it

#

Im broke at the moment but ye ill look into a new gpu and processor maybe

#

But i will wait with that till alpha2 is on

#

So i know what i got to deal with

swift tendon
#

I am sure whatever it is you'll be able to run it, I can't imagine it being too ridiculous

deft nimbus
#

Its only a 2060 but i also want to stream alpha2 when nda is lifted and dont want give game a bad look

#

Its about time i get a better pc

#

A new pc with 4060 cost around 1k USD so ye time to upgrade

ruby swift
#

@deft nimbus @swift tendon Intrepid has said in the past that they look to support a 5 year legacy on hardware and software. Meaning that if it was made in the last 5 years, Ashes will run on it. Now, whether it runs as a potato, that they have not said, just that you will be able to run it.

deft nimbus
#

I want unreal engine 5 graphics for stream anyway so here we go saving for a new pc

#

Dont think intrepid would be happy if i stream on a three year old pc

#

When alpha2 nda is lifted

ruby swift
#

Doubt they would notice. There will be thousands streaming A2

deft nimbus
#

I guess i could put low end pc in title or something but footage can be badly used

#

Yes maybe if i dont get time to save for a new pc in time i will be able to save to it before alpha2 over then people can see the difference first hand

hey i got a question that was probably asked before but i cant find a clear answer. i got the Voyager Plus pre-order pack that was in October 2020, at the time i was thinking it was my last chance to get one so i did not check what cosmetics it give only that it have Alpha 2 and the 1+2 Beta key's. so the question is, can i change this pack for one of the other ones? with cosmetics i like?

Is the livestream topic caravans? Can't find where it says the topic....

#

and its all over news my man

#

if joining into a caravan PVP event do you get the PK reputation dock for joining in on a caravan raid?

whole dawn
compact vessel
#

do we know the pros and cons for attacking or defending the caravan?

desert ivy
#

If you're attacking the caravan you're trying to get the goods that are being transported
If you're defending the caravan then you're most likely trying to escort the goods to a node to get the goods

#

Pros to both are "You get the goods"

compact vessel
#

so if we successfully defend the caravan do we get gold? Or some goods?

desert ivy
#

If you successfully defend then the caravan arrives at its destination and you unload the caravan for the goods you've been transporting

compact vessel
#

ok ty for answering, thought we can get some golds atleast

#

Do we know how many caravans a character can run or drive at the same time?

dark jungle
#

a character can drive one caravan at a time

#

but a character can participate in defending or attacking multiple caravans

spiral pine
#

you can sell your successfully transported goods for money

#

I just think those who help defend the caravan could get some real benefit like gold or node currency or something right after they successfully defend the caravan. Otherwise I think it would be better to choose attack instead of defend.

Q: regarding legendary items, the wiki says there may be some items that are unique and only 1 may be available per server. If a player with that item changes server that item will become available again. What if the player with said item just goes inactive? Stops playing..would a certain amount of time pass before the item leaves that player and becomes available again?

#

Was there not a clip of Steven mentioning insuring cargo/escrow? His answer to the question about insurance on the caravan leads me to believe there's no insurance related to caravans at all

dark jungle
#

since they have changed their stance on this, the wiki will be updated when the youtube vod is out tomorrow

#

I have so many questions about "Glint". Is it auto looted from monster corpses? Is there different types of glint that's used for different crafting or is it explicitly a hunter lodge currency? What is Corrupted Glint that was mentioned?

#

in regards to the caravan video and system - if its in the Opt-in system the Wiki talks about, how does a group of 5-10 people helping the caravan not get overwhelmed by an entire area of non grouped people who choose, like a mob, to band together and kill the caravan? system seems not well thought out from a PVX standpoint. PVE players, or more so those that dont wish to get ganked seem to be slighted. esp if this is a major money making system. and btw - every MMO thas has been PVP heavy has failed. Every single one of them. Hello New World. Eve may still exist but is in relegation.

trail sable
#

Never played it but wasn't EVE Online also pvp focused?

#

Anyway, I was wondering. Are the goods you buy for the caravan not produced by players? I mean they cost this soulbound currency if I understand it correctly

#

Which means- they're not economic, they're solo things?

desert ivy
#

Steven likes PvP in MMOs, thus Ashes has a focus on PvP much more than other bigger Western MMOs do. If you don't like PvP then you backed the wrong game

#

You ask Steven what his favourite MMO is he won't say Final Fantasy 14 or World of Warcraft, he'll say Lineage 2, ArcheAge, etc.

#

Eve is in relegation. Not relevant. Albion's peak has 200K people playing actively. those are terrible figures. Regardless of what I like or not also irrelevant. there has not been a single MMO vault be considered successful that has been pvp focussed. its a market assessment. and there are countless MMOs that started out thinking PVP would be the focus and then had to make major adjustments to its design to appeal to more PVE, which is a much bigger market

what does a caravan group do to prevent a mob from taking it over?

you are not meant to just be able to make bank of running caravan's all day

trail sable
#

Attacking a caravan should consist of counter-risk

ancient egret
#

the risk is dying and pissing of the player/guild you are trying to rob

trail sable
#

And dying is a risk the caravan runner also has, so that evens out

ancient egret

kill you anywhere any time other then your player stall and house

#

if a guild rly hated you they can kill you untill you are so far in xp debt you hit like a level 1

I must've missed it in the caravan preview, was the entire time the caravan was between nodes the "pvp event" or was it when those mobs spawned? Or is that system just not in a visible functional state?

smoky vigil
#

im genuinely trying to ask a question and understand. mainly how does the flagging system work? when you prepare the caravan are you auto flagged? do i have to flag myself to attack a caravan? if a mob attacks a caravan can the mob attack each other? how does this not turn into a very chaotic event? is that the intent?

200k daily players is not a bad figure at all for an MMO , compared to wow/runescape (both of these games have a heavy issue with botting though therefore its hard to say what the actual numbers are ) maybe but to sustain it in the long run its more than enough @smoky vigil so i don’t agree with ur takes at all

# lunar tiger any info if we can swap a frehoold building skin at any given time or is it lock...

"Each building needs the blueprint to start the process. If you have a cosmetic skin you want to use on a building, this is used after placing the blueprint. Once this has been placed, the building will be shown in a non-functional, construction state. Players will need to provide the required materials needed to complete the building construction" from https://ashesofcreation.com/news/2023-07-14-exploring-the-boundless-opportunities-of-freeholds is only reference I know of timing for freehold skins. I think the answer to your question then would vary depending on if you interpreted 'after' as 'immediately after' or 'eventually after'.

I have a question with the caravan system and the new glint system. So in the video it looks like the Salt Cured Meat only costs 2 Bright, 2 Glowing, and 5 Dim Glint, but when he buys it, on the right hand corner it looks like he loses 10 radiant, 10 illustrious, 8 Bright, 8 Glowing and gains the 1 Salt Cured Meat Shipment 8 Dull Glint and 5 Dim glint. So is the pricing wrong on the vendor? does the 50% tax rate apply to glint or only the gold when selling to that vendor? do glints stack and become something higher and thats why he got 8 dull and 5 dim in change?

So guys į have a question ir you want to win A2 key you have to donate there is No free way to win by only watching? Talking about the Life stream

elfin crater
#

@delicate echo you can go to the website and buy a early access pack to get A2 access, that's not really donating considering you get cosmetics and ingame currency and stuff depending on the pack

elfin crater
ancient egret
#

everything is not balanced or the correct amount

elfin crater
#

yeah but shouldn't the buy/sell function be working correctly? he bought a caravan for 2 gold and lost 2 gold. bought commodities and it looked like maybe lost a full stack of every kind of glint. so that vendors isnt working, still doesn't answer if the glint stacks and converts like money copper->silver->gold. or where the tax rate gets applied ... selling/buying/both.

2 questions: there was talk about mounts having ~10x player inventory and caravans having ~10x mount inventory, i don't really see that translated into the video or being talked about either (might have missed it). Is that still a thing? Also, there was talk of a top down map/eagle eye approach to place your caravan on a secret spot to keep away from prying eyes and the ability to teleport to that location (now they are walking with their group to the edge of the caravan spawn area) Is that also still going to be a thing? I understand that mechanic might also just still be under construction

sharp bramble
manic marten
#

ah makes sense!

sharp bramble
# manic marten ah makes sense!

First question - I wouldn't take what was shown the only available choices as far as space goes. We have yet to see all the tiers/rarities etc for the caravans. Wouldn't take the numbers via the showcase too seriously as far as numbers balancing etc.

manic marten
#

fair point, ofcourse balancing is one of the last steps and not necessary in core mechanic testing. Thanks!

#

I do wonder though, if its going to be obvious to caravan hunters to see groups of caravan spawners and defenders at the spawn border and then just guard that border en masse 😄 (rogues using stealth in the treeline is what comes to mind) In that case the defenders gonna have to fight for every yard they advance right out of the gate haha

But on to the question I came to ask before that distracted me. Corruption at a certain point makes town guards attack the corrupted player right? Will the mayor be able to turn this off as to allow a “lawless” frontier feeling? Also if not can corrupted players find a way to sneak into towns past guards?

lucid cipher
dark jungle
#

no mayors cant disable corruption checks on guards

ruby swift

And it is not "corruption at a certain point" it is just corruption. Go red, get dead.

meager yarrow
dark jungle
#

that doesnt scale back corruption. it reduces your pk score

ruby swift
#

There are various mechanics to corruption. I suggest reading Lex's excellent wiki. Murder count and corruption have separate removal mechanics.

meager yarrow
ruby swift
#

I never said it didn't. You implied that there was a scale of corruption to a guards reaction. We both told you no.

meager yarrow
#

The way you replied gave me the impression it was just a yes or no to being corrupt not a scaling system negatives. Just trying to stop other from making the same mistake

ruby swift
#

Yeah, corruption will have "levels" of impact on your character. Think of it like a point system. For a guards reaction, you can have 1 point or 10k points in corruption. You red, you dead. Now, depending on your level of corruption, that death may get you back to a state of not being corrupted, or it could be just the first of many deaths needed, either way it will be a grind. And you still not sneaking into town to interact with stuff.

#

Corruption can be worked off by grinding exp also. So pick an empty corner of the map, get to grinding, and watch out for bounty hunters.

Ive been playing MMOs since Ultima Online launch. I've been very dissappointed in other game design. They've catered to casual crowd and hurt community via token/vendor based loot systems. Imo, 80% or more of all items should inocorporate crafters to support a sense of community. Does this align with AoC vision?

In the recent caravan showcase, when Steven is purchasing commodities, the commodities he purchases go into a storage window. What storage is that? I see that it’s not his backpack, is it caravansary storage or commodity storage?

west meteor
light agate
#

Ah, I see, thank you sir.

#

So you can only access a caravansary if you belong to a node, and you can only belong to 1 node? Is that correct?

west meteor
#

You can use any building anywhere

ancient egret
light agate
#

So what’s stopping me from spending my glint at node A, then running to node B, summon my caravan at node B and then selling them at node B?

ancient egret
#

the fact that you cant

#

it wont let you

light agate
#

It won’t let me do what?

#

But Steven mentioned that you can summon your empty caravan anywhere

ancient egret
#

yes but you dont bring your stuff with you the stuff is in storage in the node

ancient egret
light agate
#

So, if f you successfully takeover someone else’s caravan, destroy it/loot it. I can’t spawn my caravan and put that stuff into my caravan?

ancient egret
#

? wut that is not the same thing

light agate
#

Yes it is, I’m spawning my empty caravan outside of a node

ancient egret
#

bruh you asked if you can bring your stuff to another node then summon the caravan to mess with the system and i told you that dont work

#

you can always call your caravan but it will be empty and your stuff is back at the node

light agate
#

No

ancient egret
midnight wagon
#

Your initial question asked about spending your glint to buy commodities, walking to the node you want to sell them at, then summoning/placing the caravan just outside. This is not an option as the caravan must be placed in relatively close proximity to the node it will be transferring resources from in order for it to carry said resources.

ancient egret
#

if you destroy another caravan you can call you're own caravan to put the stuff in

#

it will take extra time depending on distance

midnight wagon
#

The second part about being to summon anywhere specifically states an "empty caravan". This means no resources.
The purpose of this would be to place looted caravan resources from another caravan into your own.

light agate
#

Ok just let me rephrase it then. If I buy commodities with my glint and those commodities go into my caravansary storage. What is stopping me from accessing those commodities at another caravansary at a different node?

midnight wagon
#

This does not necessarily have to be an attacker summoning a caravan to collect the loot from the caravan they destroyed.
If the defenders are successful but one or more caravans are destroyed they can summon empty caravans to their location to pick up the resources and continue their journey.

fringe tangle
#

I don't think the inventories are linked between caravancaries

midnight wagon
ancient egret
fringe tangle
#

So caravans are used to transport trade goods for players and node building, and commodities for fat stacks of cash (and who knows what else in the future, like maintaining the node, throwing parties or who knows).

Would this mean that if I wanted to do a large fishing trip, mining excavation, or lumber hunt, I could fill my inventory, call my empty caravan, and keep going until I'm full and ready to sell to a node?

#

I apologize if that's been asked already and I can delete and hunt it down. I'm on mobile and wanted to make sure I had it right

ancient egret
#

i dont see why you would not be able to tho you would be a massive target

fleet shore
#

i thought you had to load a caravan up before you launch it

#

so you cant add stuff to it once it has launched

ancient egret
#

you can call a caravan anytime it takes a bit longer to come

desert ivy
#

i thought you could only call a caravan in the immediate area around the node

fringe tangle
#

5 am Saturday fishing trips would be the ideal time it seems

ancient egret
#

you just cant fill it with commodities

desert ivy
#

That was the point of the perimeter indicator when Steven went into the woods to call it

midnight wagon
#

I don't think that has been clearly answered yet. There may be limitations on what items can be placed in the caravan inventory.
The wiki states: "Cargo transported by caravan must be stored in crates."
I imagine for example, fish you just gathered in the wild, will not be able to be crated while still in the wild. And thus cannot be placed in a caravan.

ancient egret
midnight wagon
#

I recall it being mentioned that mounts will in most, if not all, cases increase the player's inventory capacity.
So, to extend your fishing trip you will want to ride out on a mount with a large carry capacity.

ruby swift
midnight wagon
#

That sounds accurate to what I recall was described on stream. I don't see that reflected on the wiki yet though. Maybe it's on a different page.

worn wagon
ancient egret
#

oi we are answering questions killleft kevinangry killright

midnight wagon
#

Has the process of crating items for transport been discussed?
I imagine there is an in-node vendor or station which is the only location items may be crated at.

ancient egret
#

item storage is linked to other nodes its only anything else that is not

ruby swift
#

They have spoken in the past of caravans being able to be launched from in town or from a freehold as wanted/needed. We have no statements of how the process of crating works. Could be as simple as click on a stack of an item and hit "form crate", or could be what you think. Needs clarification.

idk if i like that

lunar tiger
#

I recommend looking at archeage and how it plays out with trade packs, very similar system

midnight wagon
#

They did say that all components of a caravan can be damaged and destroyed. The rider gets a large damage reduction buff but should still be counted as a "component" in terms of the caravan. I expect you will be able to kill just the driver and then steal the caravan to drive away but it will be quite difficult. It was also mentioned that if the driver leaves the seat of the caravan for any reason there is a timer before other players can enter it.

fresh urchin
#

It's essentially the Owner's Mark system from Archeage, Liniker is right that if you want to see how it plays out Archeage would be the place to look

ancient egret
midnight wagon
#

Ah, I misread.
The wiki states: "The cargo on a trade ship will be similar to caravans in that the ship must be destroyed in order to capture the loot from its wreckage."
Which suggests that while the attackers could steal a caravan to drive it away they must first destroy the caravan before they can loot the items and consequently sell them.

quiet wyvern
#

Anyone can deploy a caravan anywhere I believe was said so you’d destroy the enemy caravan, drop your own, move the loot to yours and then go to a market

#

Not sure how it will calculate how far said loot has traveled via reward but we will see

fresh urchin
quiet wyvern
#

That’s not what I was talking about

#

We’re talking about a formed caravan with loot being destroyed and you deploying your own out in the wild to transport the stolen loot

fresh urchin
#

the distance calculation is identical

quiet wyvern
#

There will be nodes with identical items unless you’re suggesting every single node in the game is different from every other node in the game

#

So if node A gives commodity C but Node B also gives commodity C how will the game register which node it came from if Node B is twice as far from Node E you delivered too

fresh urchin
midnight wagon
#

Any further and we're getting into a discussion and should move channels as a result.
Whether or not it exists now commodities should have a tag that denotes their origin point(node) to determine their sell value.

ancient egret
whole dawn
quiet wyvern
#

Well if the distance and reward is tied to the commodity that makes sense but if it’s tied to the caravan and the caravan event associated it won’t work that way

fresh urchin

#

Have they said how many Nodes will be in the game?

fresh urchin
ancient egret
#

so far

quiet wyvern

#

85 nodes

That seems extremely low if there’s supposedly going to be thousands of freeholds?

fresh urchin
#

118 was the old number

whole dawn
quiet wyvern
#

If there’s just 2,000 freeholds that’s 85 free holds per node?

#

That doesn’t sound right

If the commodities/crates are not bound, is it possible for Player A to transport some Commodities/Crates through caravan from Node A to Node B and then instead of selling to a Commodities vendor, sell them to a player at Node B through a player-to-player trading system?

#

Or can the owner of a caravan unload the commodities/crates from the caravan while en route?

quiet wyvern
#

Should be able too.. like going from Town A to B they sell for 4g each but you sell them to a player for 5g because he willing to go to town C where they sell for 10g

It's not a key/code. If you win an Alpha Two giveaway during Extra Life it goes on an Intrepid account.

We know that some people already have Alpha Two access. We can award it to someone else if you already have Alpha Two, but we'll want to do it relatively quickly during the Extra Life stream.

If you think you might want to do this, have your friends Intrepid account DISPLAY name easy to share. The fastest way we've found to help people get this, is from their forums account. Example: https://forums.ashesofcreation.com/profile/discussions/Roshen

#

Keeper of the Kelp cosmetic pets will be the same way. It's not a code. We'll award it directly on to someone's Intrepid account.

If you get super lucky and get more than one, it'll be handled the same way. Have your friend's Intrepid display name to share with us if we let you know you won.

# humble trout any reason for that?

Server transfers would break the economy system ashes is implementing. Also, one server may have a rare world event that another server doesn’t have that produces rare drops. Transferring those rare drops to another server that hasn’t had that world event wouldn’t be fair and would be considered P2W

Hi! Question here, and I'm NOT insisting on an alpha key or anything like that. But I was in twitch chat both for the pre-stream yesterday and during the extra life charity stream. I won a key at approx 1:52pm est, replied in chat and never got a whisper on twitch. My DMs have been open, and its possible that being on the app/mobile data affected me answering even though i had been active and in chat. I'm not sure exactly what I'm asking for but it just felt unfair and if it happened to anyone else I was wondering if anything could be done? The handling of the keys doesn't feel great. Once again I want to be clear, I'm excited to support the game. I think I just hope next time the live giveaway events are handled better.

I thought I replied by 1:53 but it could also be an issue with mobile. I think my issue was that the chat messages said that we would get a whisper, not that we needed to reply in chat to get a whisper. A few minutes after that I had to leave chat and friends informed me just now that the chat message they sent to selected winners had changed. Sorry about the delay I'll try to grab a screenshot of the current message. I'm a little upset about the key but I mostly want it to be fair for everyone.

What is the big difference between Alpha 2 and the betas? Obviously Alpha 2 is persistent where the betas are not, but is there a specific testing purpose to one or the other. If Alpha 2 is persistent and going to be up to date for testing then what is the purpose of the betas? Is Alpha testing going to be more confined to specific systems with each stage while the betas are going to be more of an open and full game experience to test?

#

I’m mostly curious if we know if there is a difference between the way it is presented. If Alpha 2 is fully up to date with development when the beta comes online then what is the difference going to be between Alpha 2 and the beta during the run time of said beta?

peak dragon
#

beta will most likely have more players and will be stres test i assume

eternal juniper
#

Alpha 2 will be testing mechanics, and key systems for the game while making changes to them for us to retest them over time. Betas are usually stress testing servers and making optimization changes to the game rather than mechanic changes of the systems.

#

Yes alpha 2 will be a long term testing while betas will probably be shorter and towards the release of the game.

Also regarding this question, IF you are already playing the alpha 2, you may not want for example go to Beta servers once they open (content wise) because you will be "up to date"...
BUT if you want a new "fresh start" experience the beta 1 and then beta 2 could be new opportunity for that, with all updated and fixes already done, and everyone going from 0.

Also for (After) release of the game, the alpha 2 servers will became their Test Realm

As mentioned by Arc above, yes you can attack other players mules and steal its content. (After death)

As mentioned in wiki:

"If a player dies there will be a period of time before their mule despawns. Other players must kill the mule to be able to loot it" ¹

"If a player's mule dies its corpse will contain the same percentage of lootable items as the player (based on their flagging status)." ¹

I know Intrepid was looking into freezing over lakes and such during winter seasons. Do we know where they stand with that at the moment? Will I be able to take my caravan over lakes of ice in the winter? Will I be locked from fishing, save for in things like rivers that maybe aren't frozen?

was there supposed to be leaks during the extra life stream? didn’t see anyone talking about it, had to work during the stream

sterile kestrel
# faint delta I know Intrepid was looking into freezing over lakes and such during winter seas...

What they mentioned in one of the streams regarding seasons, was that indeed depending on the season rivers/lakes could be frozen creating path, and other paths could be blocked by snow basically changing all routes for players.

"Different seasons may affect access to various roads.[8][9][4]
Pathways that are open during summer may be closed during winter.[4]
Seasonal affects may cause obstacles or blockages to the transit of goods via caravan.[8][9][12]
Water turning to ice in winter, enabling players to walk over the water but blocking access to what is underneath.[4]
Ice will make roads bumpy and slippery.[13]
Seasonal flooding is something the developers are talking about internally, but will not be present in Alpha-2.[14]"

Servers

The world will be the same on each server, but Nodes will develop differently. Different servers will have different narratives. Things that happen on one server may not happen on another.

If someone uses your reference link before they make their account then you get 15% of their monetary purchases over the life of their account attributed to you as intrepid bucks. You can use these for cosmetics in the future or cash them out. (Subject to change)

There's no-where to currently view how many intrepid bucks you have, we've just been told they're still being tracked.

Ashes of Creation Wiki
Racial benefits

Character benefits in Ashes of Creation are tied to that character's background rather than their race.

We want players to have the freedom to choose the race they want to play because they're excited about it, and avoid situations where players feel forced to play a specific race because of gameplay benefits.
Races are not gender or class locked...

Act is against, but if you’ll have any hardcore players they’ll use ACT, not to mention the argument where if you put in enrage timers you can’t expect your players not to use ACT, so unless you actively shame people for their dps on ingame chat you’ll be fine

Spot testing will begin with Phoenix Initiative members only, then roll out to alpha 1 holders, then roll out to alpha 2 holders. If you have an alpha 2 pack, you'll get access to spot testing at some point

Ashes of Creation Wiki
Economy

Markets in Ashes of Creation are regional, which means that each market has its own character. Because resources will shift locations as they’re exhausted, this will keep people moving about the world, seeking out the best resources for their crafting builds, and the best markets for their goods.

There will be no central auction house or warehous...

quesion regarding always on PvP: you are defending a caravan and a random person not in your party comes to help out the defense. will your skills do damage to them even though they are technically trying to help you out?

I think thy can choose if they want to join and if they choose to join they will become your party member ( i think thats how this work)

frank bridge

near stump
thick fjord
#

They can't be an "attacker" in the technical sense. As far as we know, there's is nothing forcing a defender to actually defend, nor does it mean that a defender cannot be on the attackers "side" by providing information, etc. As everything, there's a risk involved

There are mmos on Steam that allow you to pay your sub through them. It is a non-issue here because there have been multiple statements spread over the entire development that Intrepid has NO plans to put the mmos Ashes of Creation on Steam.

Guys any more major systems in aoc ? Node , Caravan , Corruption , Free hold , class ?

I am not sure what you are asking there. Any major systems proposed or shown for Ashes would be on the wiki. If in doubt as to what Ashes may or may not have, consult it.

#

For example, if you are a content creator and are planning to feature the possible regional harmonization to your audience, being familiar with their actual plan vs stating "we poors here will get the game cheaper" would probably be better than blanket statements of intent.

Do items in Ashes have a weight associated with them?

sharp bramble
#

Ashes is not going with an inventory weight system

near stump
#

So inventory management will solely be based on the size and shape as we’ve seen in the recent livestreams?

#

Or are there other limitations?

sharp bramble
#

At least for materials/gatherables. Not sure about regular inventory if there's a limit to that or how much. Can't recall that specific portion

rigid rose
#

Backpacks vs resource bags.

#

"Inventory is split into two separate management systems. The first is your non-material, non-gatherable slots. Those are your standard single slot, not-space-constrained system that's a standard inventory: you just have a single slot, and you can pull completed items and/or consumables and quest items or whatever into that slot. And then, when you're talking about materials, specifically processed goods and gatherables: those exist within the Tetris type uh inventory system." – Steven Sharif

It'll come -after- A2 starts. TBH, based on what I have read, summoners look awesome on paper. I originally played a cleric in A1, so I'll likely play another cleric then make my second class summoner when it releases during A2 (assuming the various teams and projects are still on track). What really got me excited was the customization of summons, read "bioluminescent kitty" lol from the wiki. Speaking of the wiki, who is in charge of discord bots for this server?

Alpha-2 will last until launch and will run in parallel with Beta-1 and Beta-2.

is that true?

#

i mean, when they launch Alpha 2, the server will never close until launch?

yes

#

even after launch, alpha 2 will be used as a test server

#

however, alpha 2 will still have wipes, and there might be times it needs to go down for maintanence

and in future alpha 2 will be free to play? or just for people who bought or won access?

You mean whether in alpha 2 or later? Well, I'd mean alpha 2. It's basically not difficult to implement (modders do it in less than 24h from a title's release) unless it's an actual engine hard-cap where if you go to that aspect ratio it simply breaks the engine

my guess would be since nothing that they do is done sloppy, maybe not at the start but probably at lounch
