haaha thanks , but im aware of it 😅 . It just seems like people have the same question most of the time when they come here so i felt like might aswell cut the middle man and instead of linking them the wiki page for it just have a channel thats just updating the currently most asked questions . But yeah ppl will be ppl either way

what's stopping a alliance of people from just forming a ton of proxy guilds and running an entire server?

desert ivy
How will you stop big mafia guilds from owning all the good dungeons and world bosses by camping them?
A: The real answer to that is going to be what traditionally happens in a non-faction-based game where politics drive player interaction... Over time you have betrayals in the mafia guild and they splinter off into two groups and join the other side or it's like weird things that can occur in that regard. So I think that's the important way that will solve itself. I don't think the developer necessarily has to step in there and say no, let's railroad this politics or let's hand hold this aspect. I think that any time you have a bully, you're going to have a counter bully and that's something that we try to encourage as part of the politics process.[1] – Steven SharifOne of the things that I think will naturally combat the risk that comes with one mega corp or one mega guild owning the server so-to-speak and killing off competition is that Ashes is constantly changing. So the way that nodes spawn and despawn and can be destroyed; and the castles exist to exert pressure; and these world events pop up. It's a massive world and it's constantly changing. Those two things naturally combat the opportunity for mega guilds to claw control over a particular server.[2] – Steven Sharif

Thank you C:
Interesting approach, relying on people's egos to break up large alliances.
desert ivy
Steven used to lead a massive guild back before he started Intrepid, so he probably knows a thing or two about it 
echo spindle
Oh yeah lol you don't need to hang around an MMO long to see massive guild drama. I'm sure this approach will work in most cases.
near stump
Oh yeah lol you don't need to hang around an MMO long to see massive guild drama...
And also, strength in numbers. So if there is a massive guild, they have the right to “own” the server. But it would require a lottttt of players to actually prevent other players on the server from gaining some control over the map.

Question about processing. Say i dont have freehold, nor in a family with someone that does have. Can a solo player use others freehold to process materials?
desert ivy
You can't just walk up to a random persons freehold and use their stuff. If you don't have anyone in your family with a freehold, then you can use people in your guilds freeholds if they set their permissions to allow it.
You can do most processing without a Freehold, just not Master and Grandmaster level processing
flint iron
Ah okey, so if I understand you correctly, gathering and crafting artisanship is more suitable for solo play than processing? In master and grandmaster level ofc

the latter. there will be also seasonal resources, and resources that can be gathered at specific times of day (day/night).
let's say if you gather some spices/herbs in the Riverlands there is a chance those resources will not be available in a mountain or desert region, but to sell your goods there you have to transfer them. this introduces increased risk, but also rewards.

Not only weak, but if you have high corruption, you will eventually get a bounty on your head and will drop your equipped gear upon death.
As for grace period, you cannot be attacked in your freehold's buildings. Also, in civilization, NPC guards will attack corrupted players on sight, if that helps.

I agree. But I don't have a key (yet), and I haven't been informed by Intrepid. So, say I would enjoy skimming over their website for vulnerabilities to report, I cannot do so because without explicit permission (such as provided by a bug bounty program), it may be considered a criminal offence.

They have an internal website team that handles all that. We don't need to worry about the website. The main feedback and testing they're looking for with the general public (with access) is the launcher and game proper

Ohlol, makes sense, thanks, guess i was overthinking it 😂
You don't get the full scope of both archetypes in a class. The primary will give you the bulk of your classes abilities, the secondary will allow you to augment or tweak the skills. For instance, if you have fighter as your primary, you have the charge skill. If you pick mage as secondary and augment the charge, it will turn into teleport instead and deal a bit of elemental damage.

Bounties, caravans, node sieges, guild wars, naval stuff are all big parts of the system. Or simply fend off people who are gathering your stuff and ruining your land management, killing your raid bosses and dungeons. There are ways and reasons for PvP.

Generally speaking, you could group together to secure resources or mobs in a certain area, maybe control a boss zone or something along those lines. In terms of pure roaming, generally speaking you'd run with others to cause a stir and see what kind of opposition you can create. If you roam around and kill a few people you might pull attention from larger guilds or close towns and end up pulling more interesting people to go up against. The in-game incentive would be glint accrual and Military nodes have the unique honor currency which has the potential to play into it as well, but currently, that's more speculation than anything else.

Death punishments like xp debt and gathering items dropping are a big con to dying, but so is having to respawn at whatever respawn destination is closest. If you die in a dungeon, you likely won’t just respawn right outside of the entrance, though we will see how they place their graveyards in A2 soon

In terms of targetting it's probably most similar to GW2. There are 2 main types of camera modes, tab and action. There's also the fact that some spells are tab and some are action oriented

I do know we won't have voices for our characters per se, but I do know we will have ability sounds for combat and so forth that uses a voice depending on your race and gender. Will there be a way to adjust your existing voice for abilities? Such as increasing or lowering the pitch? Or, can there be pre-existing voice options in the character creator for abilities and such?

Hey question , Seen in anime "Tensei shitara slime datta ken" kinda cool thingy so ,in middle of town colosseum which has down 100floors dungeon each floor stronger and stronger creatures that respawn real time once you kill them and in the end raidboss Dragon . Could we expect something similar in ashes?

From the information we've been given, pre-order packs will not be coming back. There haven't been any announcements for open betas either, only closed betas 1 and 2 which require invite, there were previously packs that could be bought to include access to these but they're no longer available. For betas, there's no confirmation if keys will go back on sale currently because they are a future consideration and all current focus is being placed on Alpha 2 which is launching soon, and keys have been quoted to go back on sale for Alpha 2 soon

Not sure if anyone answered, but will combat be more World of Warcraft (Tab Targeting, Shadow Bolt always hits, no skill) or more New World (Aim in the right direction or nothing will hit)? or a combination of the two?

It is planned to be a combination of the two, tab targeting and action combat. You can see some examples in abilities over the different archetype showcase streams that have been shown. The most recent cleric one (there were two) comes to mind as the first example.

it will be access to A2. Nothing said about betas.

But if A2 lasts until release, then I'm not sure how/why they'd run betas that exclude the A2 testers. Curious to see how that plays out.
quartz matrix
some of the previous packages actually included both A and B. We don't know what the new key sales will exactly entail. gonna be interesting 🙂

Right, but if "a2 will last until release" is true, then what the distinction between A2 and B1/B2 is remains to be seen. Interesting structure.

Players cannot stand on top of one another, so there will be a limited number of players in a certain area. Also, abilities have cooldowns. Therefore you can’t just spam the same AoE over and over again. AoE healing will also exist. It will all be tested and refined based on player feedback so we’ll have to wait and see how people feel and how it unravels.

For designed pvp encounters like node wars they have objectives that spread the groups up to encourage smaller group skirmishes. Additionally like Renritar said, players collide with one another. From what we’ve seen so far from pvp showcases it looks somewhat difficult to get a large group of players into a small space to AoE

If you check out this clip of Steven demonstrating gliding, you would see that it is fully capable of any height needed in the game. Skipping over everything is not the goal here. This gives the perfect amount of maneuverability, and it is far from the only type. This game is for immersion, not a passive A-->B format other games are. (Your original goal might be A-->B, but you got derailed by C,D,E,J, and Z along the way, and forgot about B completely.)
Start at 23:08 in the Mage Showcase, that is where he shows off some gliding and talks about the potential and aim for it

But my 500 bucks was. Kinda shit tbh.

each mount has specific abilties though
but i dont think we have confirmaiton of if they're slower than ground mounts, so they'll probably lack some abilities that make ground moutn sfaster than gliding (like ground moutns having sprint)

Calling it alpha 2 and EA are different things really.
EA has different perceptions to it depending on what EA games people have tried. Some EA games are teaser launches, others are decent betas, others are basically alpha tests. There’s so much variety in what EA is.
Whereas Alpha is way less ambiguous. Alpha is known to be not feature complete and buggy universally - the extent of which is up to the players perception too but everyone knows to expect bugs and lack of content etc.
EA can be an alright description but will be misleading to a significant percent of people - Alpha will be way less misleading and should be used when talking about AoC

one important aspect is you need lower level material to make higher level materials so those resources in that area will always be worth something

As far I read/seen on lives, there will be no such thing as "low level content" regarding events, as "low levels" will be able to participate in many contents on different roles where their lack of level and gear will not be an issue. ( https://ashesofcreation.wiki/End_game )
Then there will be mentoring too, where high level players will help newcomers ( https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Mentor_program )
About gathering and processing, as the game dev team has some experience on MMO scenarios there's a high chance that "low level" materials and crafts to have some important role on the economy itself, not only by beign needed to craft high level stuff but as a need to complete board quests and town sully missions/caravans.

Alpha 2 when
Said to be in Q3 this year, so could be July 
, August or September, but nothing fully confirmed yet. What is confirmed is that we will hear more about the A2 release date in this months livestreams, which is usually the last Friday of the month.

I read this as, there’s no progression in the game. You don’t get like better gear to fight harder enemy’s?

I have a technical question: in the Wiki it says that Verra isn't a "flat planet", but a spherical one. Even, it will not be able to be circumnavigated.
Didn't the tech team think to shape the world as a spherical structure passive to be circumnavigated, where the "edge servers" would communicate with each other the same way the inner continent servers does to position players on it's frontiers?

Totally agree with that, as there would be not more space to create land (unless with oceans being replaced in some way), but revamping lands would be a possibility, also. But the possibility to make an open sea content where you could really to travel all over the world would be damn cool.

the known surface area of verra sis 1200 square kilometers. a planet with similar gravity to Earth would have a surface area of at least 1000 times that
this likely means there is a lot more of Verra that hasnt been discovered

But is there any information regarding the balancing of 1000+ member guilds that all would go to one server, make a main guild and a bunch of sister guilds, and take over a decent portion of the map?
Will there anything done against it?

short version: the node system will help that somewhat but also politics and human elements (such as making allies, espionage, internal conflict, drama, etc) will also do some work.
long version that requires more time: that's a lot of questions and can't really give a proper answer without typing out a novel (and ultimately turning this into a discussion). it might be best if you are going through the wiki page for Guilds https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Guilds

The map is big enough to not be anywhere near this 1,000 person guild if you don’t want to be. However, nodes play a larger role in the game than guilds. So if you’re a citizen of the node that this guild is, even if you’re in a rival guild, you’re more their ally than their enemy
ancient egret
A massive source of information indeed
I shall look for some answers here
Steven has also said that if a guild took over a server then that was intended design and that if it could stay alive thru all the guild drama and other things plaguing massive guilds

That is quite fair
I have no experience with massive guilds myself, so I am unaware myself of the things that could go wrong

On the New World Server where i was playing a huge guild took over the Server and intentionally ruined the fun for everyone else with ridicolous fees and taxes. So i am a bit wary when it comes to "Oh just let the players take over".....
There should be at least some regulatory measures for the case when a Guild totally abuses the system and ruins the game for everyone else on that Server.
spiral pine
The thing with NW is that you only need a 100 or so players to control it all
In AoC you'd need thousands
tawny hemlock
Thats why i am giving it a go. Still i am wary of such a system. 🙂
quick lion
spiral pine
And they cannot touch the gold the node taxes produce which you can in NW afaik
desert ivy
Yeah. One of the major issues with NW was the controlling guild got the money from the Town. So if a guild owned Everfall at the start of the server, they were set for gold forever. Could just buy everything that appeared on the trading post
thick fjord

Is there not a similar system in Ashes with castles and taxes? Only difference being that "the money can be stolen" but in the case of a Zerg, that's not really feasible?
desert ivy
Castles yea. Part of the amount they secure can be used for whatever
thick fjord
Castles yea. Part of the amount they secure can be used for whatever
So considering castles get taxes from a much larger area than a single NW city, and part of those taxes are free to be used to purchase whatever they want, is there anything other than the X amount of time the taxes are en route that is going to stop a situation similar to NW happening, where that first month with the insanely inflated player base generated so much tax money that the guilds who owns castles just snowball from that?
desert ivy
Guess that's something that will be tested and adjusted during A2

I'll let the question here to @dark jungle to read, as the DMing isn't possible:
I was at the AoC wiki reading about the game and something come up to: the portuguese wiki translations are absent. Is there any team already working on it (and, maybe, in the client-side translations to this same language)? If not, there's any chance to join to help you guys to translate that?

Iirc castles are endgame content, that will require coordinated and geared combatants to conquer them as they were quoted to potentially have lvl 55, or over lvl cap, mobs. As such, a rush in a month to hit this stage of content and reap benefits of it like tax windfalls seems unlikely. As Talents said though, A2 should help iron out the creases
