the costume appearance covers all slots

high fox
#

right.. so the glove from the set and the other glove is for accessory slot

dark jungle
#

there is only one glove and it is an accessory

high fox
#

oh wait. but the set will have the gloves no?

dark jungle
#

no

#

everything in pre-order packs are cosmetics

#

there are no in-game items like gloves

#

you must obtain the ingame items to use the accessory appearance on them

high fox
#

hmmm.. I probably missing some information here as I have the assumption about Remnant Sympathizer to be a whole set (with gloves) and that's the reason am thinking why there's another accessory glove

no the remnant sympathiser is a costume

Remnant Sympathizer

Remnant Sympathizer was a costume cosmetic skin in a pre-order pack.

For members of The Unseen Order that have not yet claimed a Collector’s Touch, there are other roles to fill. One such role is that of a Remnant Sympathizer. It is the duty of these armored servants to protect and guard the Sacrificial Remnants while they obediently follow the o...

costumes are not gear sets. they cover all of your gear slots to give the costume appearance but they do not have gloves or boots or any in-game item in them

Its 12gb so its enough

and some card have 12 gb on some of the 30 series

oh yeah thats what i mean

but remember the cores help too. so if your not getting the full 120 FPS then bumping down to some med settingworks

and this might change they could optimize it vary good

# plucky venture Will this game launch with a custom client and function on Linux? / steam deck

If it runs on Linux (natively) then nothing would make me happier. The ONLY reason I have a drive with Windows is for gaming as going through an interpreter sucks for performance. While the Linux desktop is only about 3% of the installed base out there, that's still a lot of people. And I know Intrepid would pick up quite a few subscriptions from Linux fans if they made it happen.

Please keep this to questions and answers only.

teal junco
#

do we know what the capacity of a guild is upon its creation?

ruby swift
#

30 to 50 from the wiki.

#

Guild size can be traded off for guild progression.[9][10]
The higher the guild's member cap, the fewer available skill options will be available to that guild.[7]
The maximum size for a guild that chooses all available skill options will be between 30 and 50.[11]

#

<speculation> will be at least 40, since we know that there is 40 man content, and would be extremely weird to cap it at 30, when you have stuff that is built for 40.

teal junco
#

this is just starting cap though, not the max

#

right? 👀

ruby swift
#

Correct. You need 5 people to start a guild with the gold and quest cost. And depending on how you allocated points in the "guild skill trees" will determine what you max cap is. But that minimum cap with choosing all "power" options over population increases is at 30 to 50 (TBD) from last official statements made. That is why I put the speculation tag on what I added.

#

Cap is 300 if you choose all population increases.

Good to know - thanks

#

Another question, do you have to choose between profession? Meaning you can be everything like new world?

#

Cant*

whole dawn
#

you can respec which ones you max out

desert ivy
#

You can be a Novice in everything which is the lowest level of profession. There are 5 tiers of professions though.

#

So you can be a Novice in everything, Apprentice in 5 of them, Journeyman in 4 of them, Master in 3, Grandmaster in 2.

#

But if you're a Grandmaster in Animal Husbandry and Mining, then you're technically also a Master in them too so you only have 1 other profession that's Master

steel dragon
#

Hmm so I need to think hard about what two to be grandmaster in because being a novice in something when max lvl won’t mean a whole lot , you agree?

desert ivy
#

E.g.

Novice - All
Apprentice - Mining, Lumberjacking, Animal Husbandry, Arcane Engineering, Herbalism
Journeyman - Mining, Lumberjacking, Animal Husbandry, Arcane Engineering
Master - Mining, Lumberjacking, Animal Husbandry
Grandmaster - Mining, Lumberjacking

#

Yeah novice will probably be for the low level stuff

Although you'll probably still need some low level mats at high level

As far as mob pathing goes, will there be ways to sort of cheese the pathing of a monster? Or will it have something like wow has, the mob is across a small gap to another platform but the pathing will take too long to get to you and you just wont be able to damage it so it will be immune and just not move. Or will it have some sort of pathing to prevent that?

silk tapir
reef lark
#

that isn't really what I'm asking but ok thanks

#

it's not possible to fake what badges you have on the forum or account details or things like that

#

it's also why I'd love to have an API

silk tapir
#

I really hope there will never be an API or that there will be privacy options to turn off all access on my or my characters data

reef lark
#

why are you so against it?

silk tapir
#

I just prefer my privacy.

reef lark
#

if it's data people can find out about you in game without having to visit you then having it in an API does nothing but make it easier to have access to that information without having to open the game

#

the thing I care about here though is just being able to verify someone's identity which doesn't have any impact on privacy

ancient egret

yeah I don't mean to have a discussion - my question still stands if anyone knows any information on when/if we will be able to verify account ownership/alpha 2 status?

digital sonnet
# reef lark yeah I don't mean to have a discussion - my question still stands if anyone know...

I'd urge caution for anyone asking for specific details about other people's accounts. Sharing specific details of your own account with others isn't the best thing to do if you care about account security. We don't allow accounts to be shared, and if you can log in to your own account there's a pretty good chance you own it NikDealWithIt

For your own account, you can see what you have access to by checking your account inventory (like others recommended above). You should be able to see testing phases you have access to, by checking your account inventory here: https://ashesofcreation.com/settings/inventory

Does anyone know if the Tales of the Homecoming described in https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Sanctus is the result of fan fiction or a canon release? Their citation only links back to a YouTube channel where they hosted the voice actress.

I'm playing catch up at the moment, so forgive me if this is common knowledge and I just haven't heard. 😅

ruby swift
#

Hmm, someone will correct me if I am wrong, but those were part of an ExtraLife goal and were voice acted by Margaret Krohn here. So while they have said that all lore is subject to change and may be misdirection in some cases to keep it fresh for launch, could be canon. The Youtube links from the wiki have their official splash screen, so not fan fiction, and @dark jungle is not known for populating the wiki with unofficial sources.

As it stands currently, no, no one would know that. A2 will drop sometime in Q3 this year and they MAY re-open the ability to purchase access depending on whether they require more participants beforehand or during. Alternatively, you can seek out any events that they host and participate in those for a chance in acquiring a key for use later this year, keep an eye on the news section for more info on those.

I'm wondering about corruption & wpvp.
Getting the jump / using environmental advantages is a big part of wpvp. Might people (getting jumped) decide they're already at such a disadvantage in the fight anyway, that they'll not bother fighting back and basically dare the attacker to take corruption penalties?

#

Another related scenario; the caravan example the other day where a group waited to ambush and started by focusing one enemy (sensible strat). Outside of caravans they would all take corruption then? As the enemy had no time to respond, despite being a willing PVPer?

ancient egret
#

to the first question yes that is a valid strat to the second i am not sure what your question is

summer furnace
#

The second is about accidentally punishing fair pvp. As far as I understand, dropping someone quickly as a group would trigger corruption outside of a caravan scenario (because the enemy hasn't had a chance to flag/fight back)?

ancient egret
#

yes

#

tho the whole group would get corruption

summer furnace
#

Hopefully I'm wrong, because these both seem like awkward meta mechanics to work around and might slightly ruin wpvp

ancient egret
#

that is not accidentally punishing fair pvp

#

if you want to utterly remove a player so fast he cant fight back it was never fair and you then get corruption

summer furnace
#

I'd argue it's fair in a group setting. Valid group v group strategy

ancient egret
thick fjord
#

That vid specifically was caravan pvp and afaik there's no corruption penalty for caravan pvp

#

Oh you mentioned that

#

Nvm

summer furnace
#

High skill ceiling group PvP is about exactly this, control & focused damage

ancient egret
summer furnace
#

I think whether you've got two groups of willing pvpers, or even two individuals.. there's a chance that the corruption system actually punishes the "jump" a bit

You can remap the keys in-game and also usually this kind of hardware have software where you key configure for different keybinds, so it should work without a problem.

Even for controllers you could remap keys using many softwares to try to make it work

I have a question that is not really AoC related. I'm a writer, writing dark fantasy, and I started a youtube channel where I'll be uploading short stories as audiobooks. I uploaded my very first video and am thinking of ways to spread it to the right fantasy interested communities.

Hello, I have a question about housing, coz i didnt find answer on wiki. Easly said ... Village level 1 > 8 houses = only 8 players can buy housing in this village per server?

desert ivy
#

In terms of the non-instanced housing inside that node, yes (although I believe those were old numbers). More players than that can buy instanced apartments though if the mayor chooses to build them

dreamy pagoda
#

ye i dont mean instanced, because the number seems rly low ... on the other side i have no idea how many nodes will be on map so maybe its ok? 😄

shell void
#

@dreamy pagoda This is the static housing, of which players can only own one per account. That number, 8, per node, is what the starting number of static housing will be subject to change. (Stage 3 - 8 static housing plots, stage 4 will have more than that, same with stages 5 and 6.) however, those first 8 will be the best static housing in the node as the node levels up, with each additional tier's additional housing being further from the center and a step below in elegance per tier.

(A stage 6 node would have:
Static housing from stage 3 as the best,
Static housing additions from stage 4 as second best,
Static housing additions from stage 5 as third best,
Static housing additions from stage 6 as fourth best)

However, players will be able to choose if they want their static housing to be upgraded when the node advances.

@modern scaffold Any class can tame creatures because taming is a gathering craft skill, and animal husbandry is how you turn it into a combat pet (that any class can use), mount, or vanity pet.

There are other options as well within the classes for having things fight alongside you, mostly surrounding the Summoner archetype. What that will look like, especially for the specific classes like 'Beastmaster,' we do not yet know.

We do know that all these things will be highly customizable due to the incorporation of the character creator elements with customizing animal husbandry creations and summoner summons.

@paper onyx I actually use that keypad now. With the razer software you would rebind WASD to the d-pad directions that sit under the joystick. I obviously have not tried it in ashes- but I have used that configuration for other WASD games like call of duty. Ultimately it worked fine, but if you do that you’re either duplicating keys on the main part or rebinding a lot of keys which is kind of a pain. I decided to keep the default layout mostly and then put 1-4 as the d pad under the joystick. Don’t forget with some gaming software it enables you to add in the equivalent of shift + key or ctrl + key. For razer it’s called hyper shift which allows the joystick to be 1-4 or 5-8 if you are holding down the assigned button. ( I put the hyper shift button on my mouse)

I use the Razer Tartarus Pro for all my gaming, in addition to a 12 key mouse. I rebound all of the joystick functions to the CTRL key because it's hard for me to press it with my pinkie. I don't think I have ever tried using it as an actual joystick.

# trail lodge i was wondering about this too good question

As an example, you can use a bow as any archetype. If you are a Ranger, having a bow will allow you to use Snipe (archetype skill with effects) If you are a Fighter, you won't have Snipe, but you will have your weapon passives from Bow if you levelled it. Same thing could be said for a shield. If your archetype has skills that interact/require a shield, you will be using it "better" than someone who doesn't have those archetype skills.

I feel like this would be an unfullfilling half measure. If active class abilities support melee (like the fighters currently does) then the obvious thing to do is use melee weapons. You would never see a fighter use bows, because at that point you won't be taking advantage of the fighter-abilities you have access too. No passives would (or should) outshine class abilities, they should be supporting those class abilities.

How will dual wielding work with a fighter class, Would dual-wielding two one-handed swords be possible and not two daggers?

In terms of combat strategy, how do dual-wielding one-handed swords differ from using a single two-handed sword or a sword and shield combination?

For example, let's consider the ability 'Brutal Cleave.' Instead of a single wide sweeping attack typically associated with a two-handed sword or a sword and shield combination, would dual-wielding fighters executing 'Brutal Cleave' perform two simultaneous strikes with each sword?

That’s not something intrepid has gone into detail on. This channel is for community members to answer questions with information already given by intrepid staff in livestreams and through other means.

And I take it some attacks might not even work if you are not using the right weapon type like most of the rangers kit involves the bow so if you use a sword or daggers you basically can't use most of if not any of your skill save for basic attacks

# hexed thunder From what I gather any archetype can wear any armour type so is there any point ...

Any archetype can wear any armor type. Some archetypes may have skills they can put points into that make a certain armor type more effective - but there won't be any negative effects for an archetype trying out different armor types. It's also important to note that any armor piece can have any stat combo, but those stats can be hard to put onto the gear depending on what combo you are trying to do. For example - putting spell power on cloth may be extremely easy when crafting but putting it on plate may take some effort

We've seen clerics in streams wearing plate - there's definitely no negative side effects given

Not sure if anyone has asked this question But its a performance related question for people using I9's.

Errors such as "Out of Video Memory" Will appear even if your PC has plenty. is there any action being taken to making sure Both Ryzen and Intel are able to access Ashes?

The mouse pointer is only used to mark targets and move the camera?
Are there attacks bind to the left and right buttons? Or all skills will be in the keyboard?

Hi all! 👋
Guys, does anyone know if there will be a damage counter and a healing counter in the game interface❓
Like some MMORPGs. For those who don't know, this is the part of the interface that shows who in the group dealt more damage to the target or total damage/healing. If there is no information about this from the developers yet, please tell me in which section of the forum it is better to leave a review about this interface option.

Directed harassment is a actionable offense and this will be something that would need to be investigated and resolved. They have stated that Harassment of this sort is not something that will be allowed. If a player or group of players is attempting to keep a other player from being able to play the game through different ways this is something that might fall under this and will be something that they will look at by a case to case basis.

Will have to wait until closer to launch for more details or if they decide to delve into this topic in the mean time.

#

Is Ashes of Creation mostly intended for people who already have experience playing mmos? I'm someone who has been interested in this project for a few years now, however most mmos I've played haven't fully 'grabbed' me perse. I believe it is because of how overwhelming everything is as well as how the core combat and gameplay feels lackluster compared to what I am used to in other games. I am wondering if this game intends to attract people who haven't even really played mmos (such as myself) or if it is mainly for those that have already had some or lots of experience with the genre.

desert ivy
#

A mixture of both. A lot of the problems with getting into MMOs (such as BDO for example) is they throw too much at you all at once with no real help. Ashes is planning to have a relatively in-depth "new player experience" guide to help new people to the genre/game ease into it

But it's hard to say. For example, depending on what you mean by "combat feels lackluster compared to other games", Ashes may also be lackluster to you. Don't know till you try

i've followed the game for a long time because of its really interesting systems and design philosophy, however what I've noticed is that I tend to gravitate towards games where the moment to moment gameplay is just extremely satisfying and spot on.

I guess to reply to your concern however, you can get banned from AoC too if you repeatedly target an individual preventing them from playing the game. That will be evaluated on a case by case basis.

I see...I guess in that case what is considered the threshold for "repeatedly?" I know a lot of people in past MMOs would go around a zone killing people under the principle of "red is dead." Eventually this would spark hours of PvP in a zone via a call to arms in world and guild chats.

I don’t know a whole lot about streaming games but I’m almost certain that most of those services only allow you to play games that are pre-installed on the machine you’re streaming from. Since Ashes will be in alpha the machines certainly won’t have the game preinstalled so I would expect to not be able to play Ashes using one of those streaming services until the game officially launches.
