We were only able to get boss drops all night. We killed the wolf boss at HH and the boss on top of church and those were our only proper loot drops

[near stump]

There is only 1 right now and there are no videos on them as they were just added to the game and there is a visual NDA on PTR.

are controllers supported yet in AOC or planned to be supported later ?

just found this While game controller support is not currently available during our testing phases in Ashes of Creation, it is an option that we are investigating for the future. If you would like to see controller support, please provide this feedback on the Ashes of Creation forums.

Anyone else experiencing problems with Frame Generation?
I can't activate it even though I have a 40 series RTX, it just shows this error in the in-game settings.

[dusky forge]

frame gen isnt working yet afaik.

[azure plover]

Disable "Enabled GPU Crash Debugging" in the launcher settings under "Game".

Then you should be able to do it. That is what I found on reddit. I am using 4070super and I have Frame Gen. ON.

Let me know if that helps 🙂

[limber goblet]

how is it possible for every new freehold to be sold already?

Are the same people buying multiple?

[digital sonnet]

Freeholds are limited to one per account. For someone to buy multiple, they would need to have multiple accounts

[limber goblet]

I'll be honest this is ridiculous, we pulled together money for along time to test one of these

[subtle owl]

Is there a cooldown when you leave/ join another node?

[dusky marten]

How do I allow others to use my freehold?

[humble void]

Deconstruction kits should craft as stack of 12?

[sleek sapphire]

There are limited amounts of freeholds. Its literally impossible for everyone to have one.

[limber goblet]

around 50 freeholds were sold in less than 5 minutes

[sleek sapphire]

Yes.

[limber goblet]

you're missing the point

[dusky marten]

I think there are only 12 per node, and as soon as they went live people plopped a toon with 100g on it.

[sleek sapphire]

this ^

[limber goblet]

The problem

[sleek sapphire]

Whats your solution then?

[dusky marten]

I would've bought it immediately if it was for sale then

[sleek sapphire]

1000s of players, 12 per node, do the math.

[dusky marten]

The fact that there was a delay between spawning on the map and selling them allowed big guilds to have someone at all of them

[spiral pine]

This is not the final implementation of how to get a freehold

[limber goblet]

We're in a testing environment, at a bare minimum each guild should have the oppountity to purchase one

Is there a way to purchase from another node vendor while not being its node citizen?

[digital sonnet]

There is not a date to share for changes to shields, block chance, TTK, enchants, gear, stats, etc

Balance will likely be something that we continue to work on during testing

Still can not get into the game. Simply will not let me past the character screen. Most of the time it kicks me back to launch window. Reinstalling for the billionth time. Have not got to play for almost 2 weeks b/c of this issue. If i do get to the character screen i NEVER get into the game. 😦

[jade monolith]

thank you

[winged basalt]

not gna do rogue?

[sleek sapphire]

nope. You can ask someone who IS a citizen to buy for you

Can you trade node capes?

[sleek sapphire]

I think so? I know I did to my alts.

guys does mount speed increase if it's green,blue etc?

[sleek sapphire]

nope (not yet)

You can get other mounts that are faster. Check the markets, or ask in general if there is a Mount seller online.

any idea of the prices?

prob 2 g for something faster that isnt crazy.

Are you confident?

[sleek sapphire]

Im currently wearing a cape from Joeva and Im a citizen of Winstead. Not sure if there is a diff between being the one to buy it vs buying it from someone else though? Ive bought all my capes myself.

[subtle owl]

Okay thanks

[dusky marten]

My alt character cannot use my freehold, if they're limited to one per account are they plan on allowing all toons on my account to access it or just the main owner?

Also is there a way to allow other guild members to use my bed and storage?

[sleek sapphire]

There is a "family" system that isnt in game yet, and much more to come for Freeholds. They are in a basic form right now.

[dusky marten]

Copy that, thank you!

[subtle owl]

You lied to me

[sleek sapphire]

I did not.

[subtle owl]

I can't equip the other node cape that I have aquired

I did say there may be a difference between purchasing them yourselves vs not.

Anyone else just have a black screen and cursor when they try to load their character in? Had this all last night and now tonight still

Does the black screen clear if you just wait a few minutes?

We have reports from people, that after they hit play they get a black screen (like you describe). After a few minutes they'll get the load screen

[naive scroll]

I’ve been waiting around 10mins now bro, have to ctrl alt del to get out

I don't know if this is a crash issue or something else.

For some people, they get past the black screen crash issue by Enable GPU Crash Debugging. More info on how to do this here: https://support.ashesofcreation.com/hc/en-us/articles/4402810340627-How-to-use-the-Intrepid-Launcher-Alpha-Two-Testing

what is deconstruction? is that with build orders? or does that also include sieges?

[scarlet zephyr]

When are they gonna unfreeze time on the Lynith server it's been stuck at 5 mins until dark since the live stream started?

[fallow socket]

With node sieges are people meant to be allowed to attack people who sign up for it before hand without consequence? I feel its a bug but it's happening atm.

[tranquil gate]

@digital sonnet are sieges suppose to come with a open world war? we can attack everyone who signed up and vice versa, the war isnt till sunday.

[near ermine]

^^^

[hidden basin]

@digital sonnet we can kill these folks signed up to defend a node we're the attacking seige on?

[digital sonnet]

It does NOT seem intentional. Open war shouldn't start for Node Sieges until the "prep phase" starts.

Go ahead and report this in-game as a bug using /bug

I'll also bump this on my side

[amber snow]

the download is on that page

[lime timber]

Have you purchased a key that includes alpha 2 phase 2?

[midnight knoll]

no

[lime timber]

Then that is your problem. The game currently requires a A2P2 inclusive key to download.

Keys that predate current phase should include it, but an a2p3 key won’t give you a download until the may rollout of p3.

[midnight knoll]

hmm

[silk island]

I cant even log into the website to get a key..

[midnight knoll]

when we be free for all

[summer lynx]

It won't

If you want to help with testing, you buy a key

If you don't, you wait for release

[lime timber]

The game will go out to subscription access at full release which is more than a year away.

We have to get through the rest of alpha 2 phase 2, and the entire Alpha 2 phase 3 before we hit Beta. Then at some point during beta a release date will be announced.

[north shard]

why does the file operations on my launcher take hours upon hours to finish

[scenic vapor]

Can anyone explain, how a RTX 4090 Super doesn't have enough video memory to play this game after this update? It now crashes every time I launch it.

[ruby swift]

The game is in a testing state. Optimization is not planned till much later. Many people with various setups experience different issues each time they patch. You just got lucky to be one of the ones affected this time. Others may have had their issues fixed. All good data if you report it. Thank you for your service.

[lapis rock]

Its an Alpha, not optimised yet, mine runs at 90% + at all times and runs red hot which is not ideal. But it is what it is

[scenic vapor]

I'm fine with it not being optimized, far from upset with it being unoptomized. Currently I can't even log in to test anything. Every time I try to connect to a server to test my settings / performance it just crashes. Restarting, repairing. Changing settings in the menu, launcher etc does nothing. Was just curious if anyone knew a cause or fix. It's ran beautifully up until this point.

[ruby swift]

Yep, file a ticket outlining all the problems and steps and send it in. Look to previous answers other people with similar issues may have experienced. Every single patch, usually the larger ones, someone gets a kick in the face. Then they take those reports and work on it. Your pain now is a sacrifice so others later will not have the same.

[scenic vapor]

No worries, I checked some of the forum posts and saw several others with this issue towards the end of 2024 but no resolution sadly. I'll submit a ticket for it. Thanks

[desert ivy]

It's just a common issue with the optimisation. In February 2021 during early A1 testing I got the same error frequently on my 3080, which at the time was the second best graphics card behind the 3090s which were released 4 months earlier

[bold creek]

mine was doing it earlier and now its not so

[wary hull]

does the node sieges currently in A2 effect storages of the town that is sieged?

[desert ivy]

Currently no

[sterile bobcat]

how to target self or ally in action mode?

[near stump]

There is a key bind you can set. There is a pretty good search function in the settings so type in “ally” and “self” and see what comes up.

[dusk mica]

so can someone explain the difference between deadly finisher, extended finisher, and deadly extended finisher

still confusing

[ruby swift]

This was reported by someone else. Maybe this will help.

[scenic vapor]

I’ll give it a try, thanks!

[undone blade]

IS there a system where we can place Crafting orders to other players? or is this planned? Trading your materials to other player to craft some mats or items seems risky at best.

[ruby swift]

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Escrow_system

[mystic widget]

This question ... do i need to get my stuff out of a place under seige?

[near stump]

Sieges currently do not destroy anything so you will not lose any materials.

[desert ivy]

Well, eventually you won't be able to as node storage will lock when a node siege is declared

[slim jacinth]

Is there a bug with interacting with stonemasonry station? I'm on the sweat of your brow quest and there's no interact symbol showing up

Pressing F wont do anything either

Tried logging out and in too

/bug report it

And then use the other station

[slim jacinth]

Kk done, and oh shoot I didn't know there was another one lol, thx

[ruby swift]

There will be a small window where a mayor that is paying attention will know one is incoming.

You won't be able to dodge the siege by removing yourself as a citizen.

And as always, large content systems like this have been explained for years and there is plenty to study on the wiki. Remember that current A2 mechanics barely resemble what the final currently stated intent is. https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Node_sieges

if as a EU guy buy the alpha pack , can i play with friends from US ?

[dark jungle]

yes

[cyan lichen]

There is no way to scale my cursor in the game right or use system cursor?

[quaint shell]

I have gotten this report a few times. any idea what it is?

[proud elk]

There is a quest safe fast sure, what do I have to collect? I cant seem to find anything

[stark hill]

Is that the one you get from Lionhold to collect 6 lost parcels? They're little orange glowy things by the side of roads.

[tulip mortar]

Anyone getting the error when trying to open the launcher? I get an error that says “unable to open intrepid launcher, go to official website & reinstall” then it works randomly.

[proud elk]

Are they inside the lionhold or outside? I just cant seem to find anything

[sleek sapphire]

Along the road towards a node town. Off to the side a bit. Joeva is prob the closest.

[primal lion]

Has anyone gotten dlss 4 to work in the game? I think swapping the dlss gets caught by easy anti cheat unfortunately

And then nvidia profile inspection doesn't even know its a game so I don't think that works

I wish in general devs would exclude the dll for FSR and dlss so we can update them at will

Nvidia profile inspector forcing new preset might be working... idk but still seems blurry like dlss 3.7

[bold abyss]

when will be getting account wide banking?

[ruby swift]

Not a planned mechanic here. Storage will be local. While there may be a system to transfer items between alts over distance, there will not be a way to avoid the caravan system for movement of gathered or processed goods.

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Storage

[bold abyss]

how do i need a caravan to transfer my bank items from 2 characters in the same node...?

[quasi lava]

is there going to be an ID confirm situation in this game to keep botting down?

[ruby swift]

That would be the warehouse system you are looking for. No eta. https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Warehouse

[knotty moth]

if i buy alpha 2 access i will have acess to other alphas or betas aswel ye ?

[strange yew]

Yeah, access applies to future phases including betas

[hushed parcel]

Have they fixed the loot issue yet?

[halcyon fog]

Not yet.

[near stump]

If you close the launcher, it doesn’t actually close. You have to end task in task manager before it will let you reopen.

[wide wind]

When can we except the summoner class?

[halcyon fog]

Sometime during phase 3.

[sullen plank]

How do you get a horse?

[knotty moth]

do i need to pay monthly during alpha aswell already
and what are embers ?
i am considering buying but i am abit confused still

[worn wagon]

There is no monthly sub fee during the testing phases.
Embers are the premium currency for the purely cosmetic shop

[near stump]

Sweat of your brow quest

It also gives you basic gathering tools

[sullen plank]

Oh ok thank you!

[haughty portal]

cannot login due this error.. anyone know how to solve it?

[brave stag]

Hey all, pretty new here. Haven't tried the game out yet .
Was wondering , can anyone tell me what the most populated server is at the moment ? In NA

[sullen plank]

Does the lumber station not work?

[pliant fern]

Is there any problem while playing the game with amd graphics card?

[haughty portal]

anyone have login issues?

Has anyone done the Isle in the Stream treasure map? The quest marker says it's in the middle of Highwayman Hills but that doesnt really line up with the text of the quest/map.

[tardy herald]

good afternoon in action combot mode I have a constant green sight - and people in the group are selected and not the mob, how to fix this?*

people from the group are constantly selected instead of mobs in action combat mode and the sight is green

[halcyon fog]

Can we get a timeline on the fix for the item drops for mobs?

[halcyon fog]

Go to character select and back, Slava.

[tardy herald]

dont help(

[halcyon fog]

Restart game/launcher.

[tame idol]

why does it seem nothing is dropping anything besides glint

[halcyon fog]

Because it's bugged for everything but Glint. Except for the mats that drop from named mobs (that seems to be working).

[tame idol]

also why is there no frogs by the big lake in joeva

If I purchase Ashes right now will I be able to play tonight?

[west mango]

just relog alpha 😉

[knotty moth]

does race selection bring stats that are important for classes ?

[shadow bluff]

Currently race doesnt bring any traits or stats

Just cosmetic at this moment in time of implementation

[winged merlin]

@Steven Lyneth seems to be having issues with Drops Hunts and various other things

[slow plover]

note - you do not purchase the game. you buy into an exclusive testing phase including and up to its release (plus some game-time). that being said, it's hella fun.

[signal schooner]

Does that mean I would have to repurchase the game after it goes live? I'm cool with a subscription, but paying twice is a nogo for me.

[slow plover]

the game has no up-front cost. it has only a subscription. you can read about it on the ashes site, I believe

[west mango]

if you get 110$ you are fine you will have the game when it is rls !

[spiral pine]

You get one month of subscription time with the pack

[edgy glen]

how do you select this hair style?

very cool

[final umbra]

Sorry for the naming I dont know what anything is called. What are the currencies I get from doing mayor (node) commisions and where do I redeem them in exchange for what?

[sleek sapphire]

The citizen bucks? You can buy things from a citizen vendor once you are a citizen of a node.

[halcyon summit]

Hi , im confused which bundle do i need to buy if i want to test the game atm ? if i bought for example the Wave II do i need to buy the Wave III May 1st ?

[final umbra]

what do they sell? ^^

[polar crow]

No, if you buy wave 2, you get wave 2, wave 3, the betas ect

[sleek sapphire]

If you buy Wave II you can play today, and it will include Wave III, and all betas.

If you buy Wave III, you will have to wait until May 1 to play

[sleek sapphire]

lots of things, gear, scrolls, cloaks, ect

[halcyon summit]

thanks a lot i will bought the bundle to support Intrepid 😄

[fervent cradle]

i redact my statements humbly then, forgive my insolence!

[sacred shuttle]

in all realness this game is fun but remember this is an actual ALPHA and has its quirks and we are here to help find the bugs while also learning how the game operates and what we want to do within the game

You need to go to #read-me-first and select a language(s) to see other channels where this is better fit.

[steel plank]

Can soeone give me some suggestions, everytime i want to log into the game i have to run the launcher installer .exe and repair, then it will let me log in, when i go to login before that it acts like the servers are down

i mean im glad i can get on at least

i might just do a complete fresh install of it, anyone know where i can find the data for my keybinds and settings so i can copy them over after fresh installation?

Is fighter good atm?

[crystal beacon]

I played with a lvl 16 fighter in HoJ he was pulling entire rooms and AoE them down and surviving with leeching

[fluid zenith]

That depends. Do you like fighting?

[boreal forge]

I wanna decide between ranger and fighter but need extra help ;-;

[fluid zenith]

why not both?

:)

[crystal beacon]

I'd say go fighter it can get tanky

Didnt try reworked ranger to give an advice

[arctic oxide]

can you build your own houses?

[boreal forge]

Ye but main wich one ok i like
Fun combat
Like pvp
Idm pve
Love big dmg muahahaha

Hard choises ;-;

[fluid zenith]

i mean you could make two characters and see which one you enjoy more, right?

and the other one just becomes an alt for when you need something different

[boreal forge]

Tru tru maybe i will do that! But in ur opinion wich one is more fun/most dmg also i think i readed somewhere people hard time finding party as fighter is it tru?

Anyways thanks guys!!:3

[fluid zenith]

Oh i haven't played this particular game yet, i'm waiting for release haha

[slow plover]

From my experience so far every class I've tried feels just great compared to pretty much any other MMO. Fun factor is very much in every class. Most damage is very hard to gauge too since it's all under iteration but I will take a stab at saying all DPS classes do good damage.

[boreal forge]

Okee thanks so much guys!

[arctic oxide]

mage

also most dps will have a harder time finding parties compared to bard cleric and tank due to their being 4 dps classes and its oversaturated

[slow plover]

For now! With dual archetypes to actually become a class things may change drastically - we don't rightly know

But if you want a free pass to doing stuff in the Alpha go Bard. Ok damage. AMAZING support. AMAZING help. AMAZING pleasebeinmypartyokay

I keep telling people I know that the Bard is one of the best support classes I've ever encountered

[dull garden]

reinstall gmae or try repairing it

[rough kite]

Ok I will try that now thanks

[timid ocean]

i know this has likely already been asked, but i have taken a few month break, is summoner out yet/ is there a planned release date yet?

[desert ivy]

No. Rogue only just released 2 days ago. Steven has commented that Summoner would probably be 3-4 months after Rogue meaning July sometime, however Steven dates are rarely accurate that far out, so add another 2 months onto it, especially because Summoner is the most complex archetype

[little hemlock]

I've gone across the map to a Journeyman Stonemason station, now i need to transport all my crafted goods back to other markets. Is there a better way to transport goods rather than just in my inventory?

[little kiln]

no

[fickle moon]

For the deconstruction kits, is it intended to give lower quality materials back? wasnt the purpose of them to get back some of the materials you used to create the item? THe amount of materials that they give back seems fair, but the quality does not. It is way better to just sell the made item to someone then try and get back some materials since those materials can no longer be used to make the same tier of item.

Hi.There are currently 5 character sections. But 8 classes will be released and 7 of them are played. Is it planned to make room for the same number of classes or more in order to learn the characters better and do PVP training with all classes?

Yes you get access instantly

Yes

[untold socket]

iv i buy alpha 2 wave 2 key now can i play to wave 3 also?

[sleek sapphire]

Yes

Thank you very much

[ruby swift]

Intrepid has only ever said that there will be a "comfortable amount" available. Now, what you consider comfortable, and what Steven thinks may be vastly different.

[trail bough]

what is the expected release date?

[summer lynx]

It varies wildly but realistically speaking it could be anywhere in the range of 2-8 years, potentially more. It's ready to release when it's ready to release.

So far, an amount of stuff has been worked on, but they're behind compared to what they had planned for each phase, which is still fairly reasonable

By the time October rolls around we should have a more accurate idea

[winter panther]

Thanks

[hardy cape]

GUYS .3

wops caps, any idea why i can't take items from storage with right click only ?

[brave niche]

Is the ability to deconstruct an item restricted by the artisan skill level? Is the quality currently broken or does quality of deconstruction kit made have any baring on what can be deconstructed/what goods you retain from deconstruction?

[sleek sapphire]

sometimes is buggy

[umbral urchin]

I found a game bug where I can add myself to the blacklist, but I cannot delete it. Currently, I cannot see all of my chat messages

Hi there. If you have the Pioneer starter pack with beta 1+2 access ect. And you paid 100$ for that long time ago, can you then get access to alpha 2 phase 3 cheaper than the 100$ its up for?

[white pollen]

Question, will everything wipe for tomorrow or no?

[sleek sapphire]

No. May 1 is the start of Phase 3. Fresh servers are going to be avail likely. Many will go to fresh servers.

[white pollen]

But the old servers stay and are also updated so you can choose kinda?

Forgot that it was april tomorrow not may

[sleek sapphire]

There has been no info on this yet.

When we gonna get a features trailer? Are there plans to hype things up before next alpha phase?

[covert shuttle]

Can i buy "Alpha Two Second Wave Bundle" today and start playing right away?

[sleek sapphire]

Yes. But in a month (may 1) the next phase begins. New servers will open. Maybe a wipe of current servers. So be prepared to start over in a month.

[dusky hazel]

Evening guys, just need a quick clarification. I bought into the current phase when it released but have not had much time to play in the few months since. And given that phase 3 launches in just over a month i want to make sure i wont need to purchase another key when this starts? Thanks

[sleek sapphire]

You will not.

[dusky hazel]

Thanks for the clarification 🙂

[full maple]

Hi Guys, I can't seem to buy access at either Alpha wave bundle once I log into my account. I bought the Explorer (Kickstarter Backer) bundle way back when. Any advise?

[pure nebula]

when selecting a character and trying to login i get stuck on a black screen.

i have tried to repair, turn off pc and back on and nothing it working
this last time i got a "connection to the realm timed out" message
game then closed itself

[thorn arrow]

Often, my screen will go black for a few minutes; with some patience it eventually starts to load-in. Ashes doesn’t have a graphic for loading, so it’s confusing to sit there staring at nothing

[ruby swift]

If you are a Kickstarter backer that doesn't have access to A2, your options are not to buy the current packages. If you are logged into your account that the KS is attached to, there will be an option to upgrade your account to include the A2 a la carte for $50 usd. Many people have missed this option, but it is there. Good luck.

[pure nebula]

[dusk thorn]

Any plans for Embersprings to have basic vendors for rations and such?

[ruby swift]

Not from any information given so far. Embersprings are basic respawn points scattered around the world. Nodes from level 1 have basic vendors. The current state of the alpha with every node at level 3 is just a testing mechanic atm.

[full maple]

Thats all I have

[full maple]

Yeah dont have that anywhere

[ruby swift]

Hmmm, could be that you have to upgrade your KS to a higher package from the $25 Explorer to get the addon for $50. I would contact a CM when they are on (usually west coast time US) and ask for further guidance. Or file a ticket with CS.

!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

[ruby swift]

Would make sense. Since Settler was the lowest package with any testing access.

Can't upgrade testing access, if you have no access. 😉

[full maple]

Yeah think Explorer was 50

But also cant buy testing access 😦

[ruby swift]

Settler is showing in your image for $25. Since that was the lowest offer B2 that might be where you need to go. Again, I am just some person with limited knowledge of where you might be having issues. Before spending money, get clarification from them on the exact steps you need to take.

I will bother @shadow bluff so I can make him pay for having "Support has arrived!" in his tagline.

[full maple]

lol\

[full maple]

Thanks a lot man appreciate your help!

[ruby swift]

Anytime, there are plenty here that will help you. Just realize that not even the CMs here can help you with account issues. They can escalate issues to the CS team, but they usually do that once the normal process has failed. A ticket can currently take up to a week for a response. Good luck.

how to fix black screen after pressing play

reinstalling didn't work

[ruby swift]

Some depending on their setup have found this to work. Latest patch the rumors are that 4090s are having various issues. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/257283936756039680/1355935388333506590/image.png?ex=67eabcbc&is=67e96b3c&hm=dbc96ac093153090cd688fc0f491c534a9ee86b2cc256731d6f52ad700f5833b&

[small mirage]

so performance core ratio

[ruby swift]

Like I said. Could be. The game is not optimized and every patch someone has issues based on their setup. You just got lucky this time. All good data for them if you submit a ticket. Good luck.

yup

Am I not able to set FPS limit in the game yet?

[austere goblet]

Is there anything thats goin to be done about low level greifing? Ive been harassed by a couple 25's for the past 15 minutes or so....

[ruby swift]

File a ticket with screenshots supporting your "griefing" claims. Use the dropdown menus in CS.

!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

[thorn arrow]

Are you sure you’re not flagged for PvP? Any reason you can’t move on and do something else ?

[austere goblet]

I wasnt flagged no, just trying to quest and complete commissions with a friend. I absolutely could go somewhere else, my point is that there is essentially NO penalty or incentive to stop higher level characters from just rolling through and wiping a low level questing party. Sure you get a bit of corruption, but it puts an EXRETEMELY bad taste in a players mouth and absolutely sucks the fun out of the experiance

[thorn arrow]

There is, most certainly, penalties. Have YOU been corrupted? It’s significant

[austere goblet]

I have, even still... The higher level player gets to take all my farmed resources, i get xp debt, and he gets to go on his way till "maybe" he runs into another 25 that kills him. I shouldnt have to worry about getting pvp'd by a 25 at level 14.

[sleek sapphire]

Corruption stacks, each time they kill an unflagged player, stack gets bigger, harder to work off.

[radiant topaz]

is there a confirmed server wipe at any point or is the plan to keep it going till launch?

[sleek sapphire]

There is no confirmed wipe for alpha phase 3 yet. There will be fresh servers though. Its very likely that nothing from alpha at all will carry over to beta. Most people will restart on fresh servers May 1.

[oak flame]

No, it’ll probably get worse too when corruption penalty is less harsh
Just part of an open PvP game
You can make friends to help you kill them back or go somewhere else

Some people suck 🤷🏻‍♂️

[wary arrow]

I am currently caravanning, what will happen if server goes down?

[tawdry pivot]

when will summoner be added? weeks go after weeks. releasse of it should be soon.

[desert ivy]

Steven made a comment a month or so ago that Summoner would likely be 3-4 months after Rogue which would put it at July~ time, but Steven dates aren't to be trusted, so probably September time or so

[tawdry pivot]

quick reply. thanks alot 🙏

[inland tartan]

if i buy the alpha, does it give keys for friends?

[ashen hearth]

we just got rogue why would we get summoner already?

[summer lynx]

Hard confirmation, no.
Prior dev statement that we'll have Fresh Start servers which mean that the old servers are very, VERY likely to die, leading to a situation functionally equivalent to a wipe? Yes.
Nebulous statements by Steven on Reddit outright stating that Intrepid is currently working to "make the best conditions for a wipe to provide good data"? Also yes.
Several of the changes that are absolutely key to the idea of a wipe being possible being moved up? Yes.

Take it how you want

But good odds are it's wiping either outright or functionally

[summer lynx]

No

You should not buy it unless you are interested in doing testing, submitting bug reports, and putting effort into feedback

While fun to an extent, it IS very early in alpha and things are scuffed as all hell

Summoner is the best class.

[summer lynx]

Bugs, exploits, glitches, unfinished content, content missing outright, deadlines not yet met on some things, the works

There is zero rush to buy a key and it's entirely reasonable to either wait for at least P3 or to just wait for the game to actually release

[ashen hearth]

it ain't even released yet wdym

[echo walrus]

Is there a option to auto target an enemy if u press a skill? Like in other mmos if u press a skill it will target an enemy or starts auto attacking?

[keen drum]

Are servers down? I just got the game and I can't log on. I have alpha second wave pass

#alpha-two-news

[keen drum]

i looked for server status and couldnt find it, thanks

[summer lynx]

Yeah this is usually patch time

[celest cairn]

I have a question if someone can answer.I m new to the game and i have bind LMB for weapon attack and RMB for camera.But when my target moves and i want to continue to attack i have to press the two buttons to move the camera and attack.But when i press LMB and RMB it makes me run forward.Is there an option to stop this?

[urban elm]

Sorry for posting this here, it's kind of a Discord question, but still specific to this discord.
The server is giving me massive numbers of discord pings, as almost every post in https://discord.com/channels/256164085366915072/1299155635220512788 is tagged with @ Alpha Two. I've tried everything to mute just alpha-two-news, but google tells me I can't suppress just specific roll mentions. It's either server wide ALL roll mentions suppression, or none of them.

I'd like to get pings for posts in https://discord.com/channels/256164085366915072/270797463907074048 with the @ news roll, but as far as I can tell, there is litterally no choice for me? If I don't want constant pings I have to suppress all server role mentions?
Is that correct?
Sorry, I'm old and don't know how to use these crazy new software things. O.o

[crystal beacon]

its old? where are you pachages

[crystal beacon]

i need this

[desert ivy]

You can't get those. You had to back the Kickstarter/Summer Backing in 2017 to have those options

Plus only the $125 pack there gives access to A2

[thorn arrow]

You can pick the channels you don’t want to get pings from. For instance, I only have the #questions and #alpha-two-news channels unmuted

[urban elm]

Er, so I mute everything, then just subscibe to those channels?

Hello, can I play in alpha 2 in Polish?

[thin minnow]

Hey Guys , i didnt play ashes for like a few months. and now when i try to log in the game keeps crashing. It says its running out of video ram but evrything is stil the same.

anyone can help me out with this problem?

[warped marten]

Is there a plan on making a main quest kind of to help player get into the story of this game? We are playing something engaging because right now there’s quest there’s plenty of nice things, but it feels so isolated not tied together into a big story or narrative like other MMO you knew why you have to do this thing or that dungeon was part of the story but right now it feels like nothing matter in terms of storytelling

[near stump]

Have you tried clicking the repair option on the launcher? There is also a clear cache option in the launcher settings

[wraith breach]

Whats the difference between a spellsword and a focus vs a sceptor and a focus,

[stuck minnow]

sword vs mace, they have different weapon trees

[shadow bluff]

Reset/New Servers have been mentioned.

But nothing 100% confirmed yet.

[primal lion]

Do we know what the AA setting actually are? Low doesn't tell me anything

Or are they just different strengths of taa

[crimson hollow]

Starting the game for the first time now, I’ve picked the rogue class to start with. Anyone else from Aussie want to level together? I’m still trying to figure out the best settings for the game and considering buying those 12 buttons mouse to make my life easier haha

[shadow bluff]

Head to #read-me-first and select a language. Bunch more channels suited for that and will get better coverage.

[crimson hollow]

I have connected my discord account, however I can't send any messages on the other channels somehow

[near stump]

Give it 15-30 minutes. You just bought today so it might be slow to assign your alpha-2 role in discord which allows you to speak in #alpha-two-general

If it still isn’t working at that time, disconnect and reconnect your account using an incognito tab

That works for 99.9% of ppl having issues

[crimson hollow]

I see, I actually bought it last night. No worries I will give it a bit of time, Thanks Renritar

[near stump]

I would suggest option B then, disconnect and reconnect using a incognito window.

[paper onyx]

Full MSQ is planned for the game, its Alpha... Alpha is for the gameplay mostly, quest will be added later in development

[hasty pivot]

Are dagger recipe like the Rividium dagger recipe dropping? Farmed 2 different set of mobs for 6 hours each and nothing for dagger recipes. Curious so I don't waste to much time 🙂

[short quarry]

If you've farmed for 6 hours and haven't gotten the 1 item you need from a loot table of 150+ items, clearly you should submit a bug report to have that addressed ASAP.

[wispy grove]

is there a latam/esp community here?

[silk garden]

I often encounter sudden black screen situations while playing a certain game. The system is still running, but the monitor fails to receive the signal from the graphics card. I'm using an RTX 3080TI graphics card. I once tried adjusting the in-game graphics quality to medium, but the unexpected black screen still occurred. This kind of black screen is random. Maybe it happens right when I start playing, or perhaps it suddenly appears after I've been playing for about an hour or two. When I play other 3A games, I've never encountered such a situation. This has troubled me for a long time, and I've even had to give up on this game, which has brought me an extremely poor gaming experience.

I think the stability of the game during testing should be given top priority. Only when I can ensure continuous online play can I experience other aspects of the game content.

[ruby swift]

It is good to have "thinks", drives ambition. If you were more proficient in game development, you would understand that optimization of the client is done at the end of the process, not in the beginning or middle, because it is just doing extra work that just has to be repeated every few days. Intrepid has been clear, made these statements several times and in almost every livestream monthly as to the development cadence. If testing in it's current iteration is frustrating, take a break and come back later in the process. Or request a refund and come back in a couple years after "live launch" when your wanted optimization has occurred. While this statement was made during A1, it has been repeated over and over in other livestreams. Good luck. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/256164085366915072/840313533681893407/DoNotPurchaseA1.mp4?ex=67eaf0f6&is=67e99f76&hm=888c30af69a11daf2c490b209e2cbf691c5690e8d403acf0920e10f9a27eda03&

😂

[summer lynx]

Anywhere from 2-8 years, potentially more

[summer lynx]

At some eventual point, it'll be more than 25 and lower than 50 probably but we really just don't know yet

There's some ancient quotes of 30

[elder briar]

my friend is downloading the launcher rn and it said that a hard drive instillation was detected but he doesn't have a hard drive? any fixs???

[ruby swift]

Minimum specs are ssd. If you are trying to play on a virtual machine, good luck.

[azure plover]

Why on pc I get 165fps and usage 99% on area where there is no many people, but if I am at area where people grind or city it goes down to 70 and GPU usage is 40% and CPU 30%? So it is probably not PC issue? What can it be?

[light heart]

This is hardware issue. It might not be your gpu at all.

[light heart]

Cpu bottleneck

Even if your usage is not maxed there can still be bottleneck. Fx. Even 7800x3D in baldurs gate 3 will not give 7900 Gre 100% util

In some specific areas

Get better cpu or use more debloated OS so your windows is not hogging your cpu. If you have amd use linux dont use Windows. You will perform on average 20-30% lower

It is skill issue.

[azure plover]

Intel I9 12900K? It is CPU bottleneck?

[light heart]

Yes

If gpu is not 99%

You have cpu bottleneck

Very simple

Just because your cpu not 99, doesnt mean no bottleneck

Some games like cache from amd x3D. Its not always about core amount. If the game is not using the cores

[azure plover]

So what would be solution?

[light heart]

Get more lightweight windows, as this will use less cpu.
Get linux
Overclock cpu
Undervolt cpu
All these things will help your cpu Performance

I recommend either ghost Spectre w11 or revios

[azure plover]

Thanks.

[light heart]

Example

Stock windows 11 i had 78% cpu usage i baldurs gate 3 act 3 town

With modded ghost w11 around 42%

[azure plover]

Could it be game not being fully optimised?

[light heart]

Yes of course

This is always a thing.

In the end, there is a cpu bottleneck

Maybe it is from bad optimization

Probably your i9 should have no problem with this game

But it still does help to optimize your cpu Performance. Even on i9.
Percentage gains will still be high. A 4-5% difference on such a cpu, will translate to nice performance

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwNAa_OdP1w
Example

[azure plover]

Yeah, it makes sense. I will try turning on turbo mode on CPU. Usually I don’t do that because of higher temp, not that much fps gain. Maybe disabling E cores can help. Whatever I believe this game will get better performance in the future anyway.

[light heart]

What cpu?

Laptop i guess?

Also, did you try the usual cpu tweaks? Process lasso, islc, etc?

Some games are borderline unplayable without those programs. Like bg3 or Hogwarts

[tawny hemlock]

Do you have two monitors?

[azure plover]

No. It is PC. So there is turbo mode which is getting around 80 temps with same performance in gaming. If you turn it off you get around 50 temps, almost same performance. No I have 1 monitor 1080p

[tawny hemlock]

@silk garden I had something similar. Turned out that the DP or HDMI port of the monitor was failing. It caused the monitor to shortly go black and then after a short while work again. This has nothing to do with games. I recommend to either get a new cable or to put the cable into a different display port / hdmi port on your monitor. Or if you feel generous to yourself get a new monitor 🙂

[azure plover]

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/gaming/resources/turbo-boost.html

[light heart]

In that case there would be no audio

This is not the monitor lol. Easy way to check is just in event viewer. If you have an error in there it cannot be the cable

Only happens in one game too. So his cable only is buggy in one game? Please.. use your head before you tell people to spend money

[tawny hemlock]

I had audio when this happend because i dont use monitor audio. So i think a check at least would be a good idea. How hard is it to switch the ports. Most monitors nowadays have multiple ports

[light heart]

Then you had driver crash. Not cable issue.

[tawny hemlock]

It is strange then that since i switched the port this hasnt happend again. So no it cant have been a driver issue.

[light heart]

It can. Because some driver settings reset when you swap ports.

Like your refreshrate

It is very hard to say exactly what has happened on their pc without more info

It could be a cable. It could also be a dozen other reasons.

[tawny hemlock]

Indeed. So a little test by switching the port does not hurt. It might help and shouldnt be ruled out

[light heart]

If he is on w11 24h2 that is most likely why.

Really unstable unless you have AMD hardware

I had awful crashes on there on my 5700x3D. Only on archlinux it runs properly

[somber lynx]

And I have zero issues on 24h2 on both Intel and AMD, nvidia or amd gpus.

[cursive sparrow]

Hello all, a new player, Is it possible that there are bugs in quest lv2, The Sweat of Your Brow as the Alchemy Station isn't available to Stale Snowdrop Powder and earlier had the same issues with Getting the Zinc Fragments from the Tradesmanager Hernet... and that solved after a few attempts to get the mining station to work.. Now wondering if there is another Alchemy Station nearby that does work. Thanks in advance for the given answer. As I new player I am not allowed to all the channels here, so if I put this question at the wrong spot, my apology.

(Maybe have to add that I am on the EU server)

[ruby swift]

Last info was that Sweat of your Brow is/was as stable as it has been. There are many case instances where specific resources only work for the quest, make sure to harvest the ones closest to the table. That may or may not be the issue. If you cannot post in the A2 channels, please take the steps to link your Discord account from #read-me-first . That sometimes requires linking/unlinking/relinking a couple times for it to apply. Good luck.

[upbeat hatch]

The alchemy station near the quest wasn't intractable for me too yesterday. I just went to the table near the gate.

[summer lynx]

You actually are allowed in those channels

#read-me-first

At the bottom of that channel, go connect your account to discord on the website

[rare oxide]

"If I press 'Play' in the launcher, this error message appears. Why is this happening?"

?

[cursive sparrow]

Ty all for the replies, will connect my discord account. A friend of mine explained the command /bug to report a bug in game chat right away. 😉

[rare oxide]

감사합니다

[cursive sparrow]

That worked, tyvm!

[wispy grove]

Same happened to me, ended up using amother alchemy station near the other gate of the town

[cursive sparrow]

I found the other alchemy station, tyvm too (as Dovahcat said it a bit earlier, still much appreciate the help)

[stiff cloak]

Hello, I would like to know if strength increases damage that much? I have the choice between two weapons with the same attack power, but one gives me a lot of health and the other 12 strength. Is the difference in damage big?

[near stump]

If you hover your strength stat in your character sheet it will tell you what 1 point of strength gives you. You can look at your abilities to see how much they multiply you physical power by which is the primary benefit of strength. It typically comes down to preference, but 12 strength would usually be taken over 100 health and 100 health is only part of the benefit that 10 constitution would give you.

At the moment, primary stats such as strength and dexterity are far superior to other stats

[sour bobcat]

my friend is having some issues with the targetting when using bard, is there any suggested settings for switching between mobs and allys? Specific skill is quick wit the one dual purpose.

[sleek sapphire]

My advice is to use the option to split the spell into two seperate ones and put each one on the action bar. I found that alot easier.

[sour bobcat]

Wow @sleek sapphire

that is sound

thank you

[light heart]

I am happy for you. 🙂

You should not be on 24h2 or any w11 iso with intel though. Losing some efficiency cause of the scheduler on w10 is better if you dont have a Ryzen cpu

[sleek sapphire]

did you find the option? its in the spellbook bottom right

[sour bobcat]

Yes, got it! lifesaver

[low moon]

So I havent been reading up on the game for a couple of years now. At what point is the game available to me? Without buying the bigger bundles?

[light heart]

No stock Microsoft iso "works fine"
It all depends on use case and skill of the user. For power users and people that care about consistency windows is not usable for gaming.
Power users should always use linux unless they have Nvidia gpu older than 2xxx

This is objective fact not my opinion

Windows frametimes very inconsistent even on fast pc with tailored iso

Funny enough people that disagree are always older folks. Are you sure you know how computers work? My dad will often believe alot of stuff which was true 20 years ago. Times change.

[thorn arrow]

FFS , really ?

[light heart]

Guy stating 24h2 works fine when dozens of new games doesnt even boot on it 😛 pretty crazy thing to say. 🙂 ofc i will jab a bit

[sleek sapphire]

There is no confirmed launch date, and it is likely a few years away. The next alpha phase is starting May 1 and the key is $100> This gives you access to Alpha 2 Phase 3 (prob a year long), all beta tests (no idea how long but shorter than P3) and 1 month sub when the game launches.

Right now its still very much in alpha testing.

[low moon]

Thanks for the reply. I think 100 USD is too heft of a price for me without knowing what Im getting. Can't let the hype get to me 🙂

[sleek sapphire]

There is a ton of media out there, streamers, videos, ect ect. If you wanted just search Ashes on youtube/twitch.

But yes, its an alpha test. Buggy and missing content still. So best to wait if thats not your thing.

[low moon]

Oh its my thing alright. I like playing things that arent polished. Oftentimes I find the polish (balance patches) removes the reward of getting to know a game.

I wont be watching too much content I think. It makes my mouth water yknow.

[sleek sapphire]

If you consider $100 gets you about 2 years of game play (buggy or not) and 1 month of $15 sub. Thats 85/24 months = $3.54 per month cost to play the game test for the next two years. (If you lke testing)

Thats my justification anyway : ) Way cheaper and more fun than "Other games that cost a sub" or full releases that only keep me entertained for 4 weeks.

[low moon]

Hm. The only way to figure out if its worth the risk is by watching content creators I guess.

Is there a content creator that aims to show the less good sides of the game?

[sleek sapphire]

Id suggest poking around youtube. Theres a ton of content on it with catchy bait titles that you might find interesting.

[low moon]

Thats a bit backwards 😄

But I get your point

[sleek sapphire]

If you are worried about risk, they have a 90 day refund policy as well.

But if you are really just not sure, then I would wait. It is not complete there isnt alot of content yet. This next year will see a lot more added. It sounds like you are looking for something more polished.

[low moon]

Oh. That is very generous. I might just look into it.

[low moon]

I cant tell since Im not aware of how much content there is

Seems they've gotten quite far

I know the map is only a small fraction of the planned size

[sleek sapphire]

Here is a very detailed write up on Alpha 2 and the different phases and content (We are just about to start Phase 3 May 1)

[frigid bolt]

Quick question, might have been answered before. I understand its in alpha state but graphics are pretty bad.. Running the game in high settings ( tried ultra even) and characters look VERY blurry. Landscape and light effects are all right, but my char is blurry af. Im using AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT, any chance i can improve the experince?

[upbeat elk]

Blurriness is an issue of upscaling and/or TAA. I know there are workarounds for disabling TAA with nvidia cards. Unfortunately the only in-game option is to run at higher resolutions for now.

[light heart]

Disable TAA. Then use SMAA with reshade.

You dont use Linux. Lets not kid ourselves.

Haha. My dad is not a linux user.
At least you dont use grub. Maybe there is still hope for you.

If you are referring to the one in Lionhold for the quest "Sweat of your Brow" yes the close one seems bugged. There is another one if you go south towards the gate, on your left hand side.

hi~,
I just bought an alpha key ... least i think i did. I paid with paypal and the site redirected me to the account/inventory site, but I don't have a key or any buy notification from paypal. Can't see any transactions either on the website or paypal.

idk if i missclicked or anything, but on the off chance, that some experienced something similar and its just payment precessing or smth. thought asking here is smarter than trying to buy another and accidentally buying 2 ^^'

How do you acquire a mount? I have a horse in my inventory, but how do I obtain and ride it?

i cant spend any point

everything is grey

[sleek sapphire]

drag the horse icon from your bags, to your action bars, then, you press it to summon, and press it again to unsummon

try reloading the game. IF that doesnt work, put in a /bug report in game

It’s not working. Why is that?

did you complete the starter quest in Lionhold called "The Sweat of your Brow" its from the tradesmanager

Where did you get that horse?

I got it by clicking on it in the field.

I didn't do the quest.

Who do you receive the quest from?

any fix for this?

[rare oxide]

Could you please tell me where to get the quest?

[sleek sapphire]

that is not a mount, its a horse dead body. That can be turned into a mount by a profession.

Go to Lionhold, and find the Trademanager. The quest is called "Sweat of Your Brow" At the end, it will give you a mount you can use.

[rare oxide]

Thank you.

[arctic sky]

Are you on the correct server list?

[latent ibex]

Having an issue with my mouse locked to a square on screen, anyone know a fix? Also seems to dissapear constantly when moved.

[latent ibex]

Did you find a solution?

[trail sequoia]

No

[latent ibex]

What mouse are you using? im razer Naga

[trail sequoia]

My solution was to just not play the game and hope it’s a known issue that gets fixed eventually

I’m using a Utech Venus

[latent ibex]

So not same at all, but same behavior

[upbeat elk]

you guys have controllers or any other input devices plugged in?

[latent ibex]

I do actually Yeah

Fyi, the mouse issue on video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SvWIzK0ZzA

[latent ibex]

❤️ Controller was the issue, awesome thank you!

[proper river]

probably doesnt work but worth a shot, have you tried alt + enter ingame? had that in a different game and it fixed it for me, that was an fps game though

[latent ibex]

Was a controller plugged inn from playing FF7, and it works now 🙂

[jolly finch]

Yes Im on the same server i was on last night

it was weird the game froze and then i reset and my characters were gone

[latent ibex]

Just a note incase you didn't catch it, unplugging a controller worked for me.

[thorn arrow]

Mine has been disappearing too, lately. … /bug time

If you go ahead and contact CS, they might be able to look into this one a bit more closely for you!

[sick canyon]

Feels bad man, cant even open the launcher

[grave harbor]

Have you tried closing your launcher down from task manager? Give it a try, wait around 3-5 mins, and try relaunching. If that doesnt work, close it out from task manager, restart your PC, and see if that helps. If you are still stuck at that point, I'd recommend sending your game logs to CS to dig into

[sick canyon]

It's strange, i have never encountered this problem. Thanks tho

[upbeat elk]

You sure you have the latest launcher downloaded? Not seeing that error if I try to open multiple clients anymore. ashesofcreation.com/download

[sick canyon]

Yeah i uninstalled and reinstalled twice, same result

[rigid rose]

Do a complete system shut down and power cycle your router and modem as well.

(not restart.. full power off to PC and leave it for like 3-5 min)

[sharp ibex]

Bro 35 would get me hard asf

[opal nymph]

Is someone could please tell me how to fuel a tanning station

I am searching everywhere for an answer and nothing

[summer lynx]

The same as any other station

Wood

Charcoal

Herbs

Items when you hover over them that list a Fuel Value

Fish

Oak/Ash wood is going to be what most people use, Charcoal is good for bulk because it's smaller and gives more fuel

[open bolt]

Do Pylons work yet? I tried the fishing one and i'm not sure if the buff is invisible, or if it is not operating as expected. Should I see it on my character sheet under the buffs?

[devout yarrow]

is there still a gold cap?

[echo iris]

could an admin help me with a purchase mistake by chance?

[umbral gust]

Its above the 2k previous limit.

Did you mean to post that in general where the convo was

[ruby swift]

As Moss linked for you. No one in here can help you with account issues. The mods (red names) and the CMs (community managers) are walled off from account viewing for privacy reasons. You gotta go through CS (customer service) ticketing.

[jolly finch]

Thank you

[fast pulsar]

For a new player looking to play solo in the UK, what server would you recommend?

[spiral pine]

Lotharia is the only EU server

[fast pulsar]

Ah, that solves that issue! Thank you!

[jolly finch]

Never mind i got them back XD i repaired my game

[slow garden]

in the tropics... many iguana places (mobs) guess they might have random spwans maybe similar to grems after beeein killed, not sure

Question: since i wanna do my solo-crafting (and playing) and i have no 2nd PC for second Account, and with Marketplace no more viable for me to sell stuff to my own chars.... is there i list i can inlist to, for 2nd account. to show that i wont cheat with it or something? i guess Taverns and or affordable ways to use accountwide chest isnt coming the next 2-3 months at least?

ONE account wide Bank slot..... maaany ppl would like that ... realy. maybe just in starting area or anything

[slow garden]

or beeing able to hide own marketplace from none-account searches or something...

[paper onyx]

[sleek sapphire]

Same :(. but I think I might feel a bit sick tomorrow. It’s been going around ya know 🥶😉

[serene orchid]

Do devs have any feed back channel for cool ideas?

[sleek sapphire]

The forums on their website are probably the best place.

[sleek sapphire]

You should link your discord acct to your intrepid one so you can get access to the alpha 2 channels here.

[ruby swift]

[violet stag]

[near stump]

No wipe has been announced.

[violet stag]

ah m bad, its a voluntairy wipe, as fresh starts are essentially a wipe as well, by choice 😉

[wispy ruin]

hey all!

i've tried to find any information about "unique" weapons or "named" weapons. Does anyone know if there have been anything said about unique weapons or named weapons, like legendary weapons in wow for ex.?

Ashes of Creation Wiki

Artifact

Artifact rarity is assigned to one-per-server-realm items.

Artifact items are (currently) timed items that may be downgraded to non-artifact status after a time period expires. This may be changed based on testing during the late stages of Alpha-2.
Q: If a player collects a one-per-server item but stops paying their subscription, or quits playing...

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Artifact

[dark jungle]

we have been told a little about artifact rarity items ^

this isnt the same as unique (one per character) though

[wispy ruin]

[true arch]

[dark jungle]

[olive hearth]

whats the new cost of the caravels?

[subtle dew]

Is storage in Winstead safe during the Node Siege test?

[sleek sapphire]

for now yes. But the design plan is that if the defenders lose, the entire town is trashed into the ground and you will lose it.

That part isnt in game yet.

[crystal beacon]

where april's fool

[errant terrace]

in phase 3, will 2 archetypes be available? as well as summoner?

[upbeat elk]

There are 7 base archetypes now. In phase 3 one more base will be added and all 8 will be able to gain the 2 secondary archetypes of Cleric and Tank.

[errant terrace]

so what i understand is that necromancer is playable next phase?
