Mounts only avalible to master breeders or tamers?

muted ore May 10, 2017, 3:47 AM

#

@polar blaze yes breedable mounts, and they should be tradable, I cannot however answer the aspect about the artisan stuff as that hasn't been released, https://youtu.be/9h73ABkAnOY I think you have wrong idea with the 3 point system here is video that explains it

im going to watch it now but i think i have seen this

royal spade May 10, 2017, 4:00 AM

#

<@&257269635559194625> How are you guys going to deal with private servers? Almost all MMO's have them and very few that I have seen take action. Are you guys going to pursuit them? Because in the end it just hurts the game. Also, was there any reason you guys self-published? Why did you guys not decide to go with a publisher?

crystal beacon May 10, 2017, 4:32 AM

#

They have and are working with "Google" From what I remember, they also are self Publishing.

stoic copper May 10, 2017, 4:33 AM

#

@polar blaze that video linked above should be an update to the data deathsproxy initially released under improper information

polar blaze May 10, 2017, 4:33 AM

#

yea thats what i saw in the past and now i understand more ❤

crystal beacon May 10, 2017, 4:34 AM

#

their server hosting is google

polar blaze May 10, 2017, 4:35 AM

#

running on Googles servers? thats weird lol

marble crag May 10, 2017, 4:38 AM

<@&257269635559194625> If we get the underrealm milestone: will one node include both the surface and the underrealm, or will the surface have one node system and the underrealm have another node system?

rigid monolith May 10, 2017, 5:33 AM

#

@carmine herald They haven't said, though several lists of guesses are going around. Just going to have to wait on this one.

#

@hybrid inlet with all the precautions they are taking to avoid gankboxing plus the value of a caravan, I doubt PvE only servers will exist.

#

@marble cradle I imagine fans will try to do this, though with such a dynamic world, it will be hard to document locations or know specific triggers. I can see trying to document much more than monster loot as being too tough to bother.

signal topaz May 10, 2017, 5:50 AM

#

will there be RTS style game play when it comes to sieging nodes. if so how would you implement it, if not please consider it. i think it would be epic to be fighting in a huge battle and have a elected military official commanding NPCs and players i think it would give war a more fluid and dynamic feel. another example is you have a list of people in the battle and if there in groups you could send small groups of players and/or NPCs to do thing such as cut off supply routes, kill a general or destroy siege equipment.

trim olive May 10, 2017, 6:24 AM

#

<@&257269635559194625> Well there be voice assets in-game?

astral furnace May 10, 2017, 6:24 AM

#

@<@&257269635559194625> will the expansions be included in the lifetime subscription or behind a paywall to unlock?

flint barn May 10, 2017, 6:34 AM

#

@astral furnace So far it's said that all expansions will be free.

foggy ibex May 10, 2017, 6:44 AM

#

<@&257269635559194625> is december 2018 the alpha launch or full launch?

flint barn May 10, 2017, 6:46 AM

#

@foggy ibex So far it's alpha launch. The first KS alpha. The game is set to be out before 2020, but if their KS and developing goes well, it may be before then

foggy ibex May 10, 2017, 6:54 AM

ok thank you

gaunt garnet May 10, 2017, 7:02 AM

<@&257269635559194625> Do we have the option to upgrade our kickstarter package? (After we have already purchased one)

plush vector May 10, 2017, 7:09 AM

#

<@&257269635559194625> Any chance of adding an alternative $1000 package? I think it could be selling if you changed out the two guild hall items and release party invite. Due to not everyone wanting to be a guild leader those would go to waste and not everyone will want to travel for the party. I bet you could get tons of upgrades to an alternative $1000 package with three cool substitute rewards. OR you could put up an alternativ $800? package minus the guild stuff and party invite.

crystal beacon May 10, 2017, 7:45 AM

#

Good morning People... Congratulations on the kickstarter and in the overall project. So far so good. My question turn's around of the PVE content, naming Raids, low level/high level instances and challenging PVE content overall. Thanks in advance for your time.

#

@gaunt garnet yes you can change your package on the KS website until it is over. Also KS charges after the end so you can increase or decrease your package

#

@signal topaz that's actually a cool idea if they could command groups and the groups got a UI telling them what to do, but they wouldn't have to listen.

You also should do <@&257269635559194625> within your post

#

<@&257269635559194625> How much of a factor will weapons play in terms of what abilities or skills you can use. Will abilities be tied to weapon types, or will abilities be freeform with weapons acting more as stat sticks.

keen hound May 10, 2017, 8:15 AM

#

<@&257269635559194625> will the bowstrings be drawn?

raven iris May 10, 2017, 8:15 AM

#

<@&257269635559194625> In your Stream with DocGotGame you got to the problem of friends not spawning at the same portal. Could it be a possibility to enter a friends character name to get to the same portal instead of chosing?

frosty wasp May 10, 2017, 8:15 AM

#

<@&257269635559194625> Can fighters use a wide array of weapons including spears and scythes?

flint barn May 10, 2017, 8:16 AM

#

@frosty wasp Classes will be able to wield all types of weapons, though some will be more efficient with certain weapons

frosty wasp May 10, 2017, 8:19 AM

#

@flint barn thanks. also do you know if the secondary class offers new spells, or if it justs gives addons to ur primary skills

subtle bluff May 10, 2017, 8:19 AM

#

Addons

flint barn May 10, 2017, 8:19 AM

#

@frosty wasp Only augments to current skills

frosty wasp May 10, 2017, 8:20 AM

#

So an off-spec cleric cant heal others?

subtle bluff May 10, 2017, 8:20 AM

#

Why not?

flint barn May 10, 2017, 8:20 AM

#

@frosty wasp They might be able to, but probably not as efficiently as cleric/cleric

frosty wasp May 10, 2017, 8:20 AM

#

oh so a fighter may be able to aoe heal when he uses cleave for example

subtle bluff May 10, 2017, 8:21 AM

#

We don't know specifics

flint barn May 10, 2017, 8:21 AM

#

^

subtle bluff May 10, 2017, 8:21 AM

#

We do know 3 specifics, actually

#

A tank/cleric is a paladin that will have self-sustain. A fighter/mage changes his rush ability from a charge to an instant teleportation, and fighter/rogue changes his rush ability so that he enters stealth as he starts his charge

grave stag May 10, 2017, 8:33 AM

#

@subtle bluff Wasn't Steven's example for the rush ability with the Tank class?

flint barn May 10, 2017, 8:33 AM

#

@grave stag No, that was healing

grave stag May 10, 2017, 8:34 AM

#

Just double checking 😃 thx @flint barn

hardy dove May 10, 2017, 9:08 AM

#

<@&257269635559194625> I just listened to the interview with TheLazyPeon, and at one point you mentioned a specific activity called 'treasure hunt'. I hope some of you have played runescape some time in past, and know what i'm referring to as a treasure hunt. Will there be treasure hunts like that, or treasure findable via a map like in skyrim and adventures that are hidden like an easter egg and players have to find out how to activate it?

#

Damn that's long

waxen kraken May 10, 2017, 9:26 AM

#

<@&257269635559194625> Will the streach content be released with the initial release or as addtional content further down the line?

limber kite May 10, 2017, 9:28 AM

#

@waxen kraken it will come with the planned release, read the last KS update for more information from steven himself 😉

lone nimbus May 10, 2017, 9:50 AM

#

<@&257269635559194625> Hey there Intrepid. I was wondering how common OPEN world free holds will be (the ones outside of nodes)? Will everyone have an opportunity to place one? I love non instanced housing, and it would be a real shame to miss out on an opportunity to apply my exclusive kickstarter skin as well!

lyric nebula May 10, 2017, 10:13 AM

#

<@&257269635559194625> I'm aware of the fact that classes will have different weapon options available to them. I personally love the fantasy of unarmed fighters. Are there any plans to implement this? Maybe even with a knuckle weapon workaround? I'd love to punch a dragon to death! 👌

meager latch May 10, 2017, 10:32 AM

#

Hello <@&257269635559194625> ! Will there be arrows management/crafting and quivers ? If yes, is there that same kind of mechanism for other classes/weapons ? (Like using magical stones to cast specific spells...) Thanks !

<@&257269635559194625> In the caravan system what happens to the materiels that it is carrying, say for instance I put 50lbs of iron to be transported from point a to b
the caravan gets attacked and destroyed, the bandits can loot the wreckage. Will they get my 50lbs of iron or will it be generic loot.
Will I lose all 50lbs of iron if the caravan is destoryed?

crystal beacon May 10, 2017, 11:23 AM

#

@Interpid Studios will there be an argent dawn goldshire like place and the succ in AoC?

hybrid inlet May 10, 2017, 11:23 AM

#

@rigid monolith I don't think so either. I'm asking for a confirmation so players who keep making thread about how scared they are about being killed can just stop.

remote mica May 10, 2017, 11:26 AM

#

<@&257269635559194625> will there be fishing boats and fishing at high sea like in archeage?

<@&257269635559194625> How the electoral system/political system will go? Because Kings and Queens weren't elected. And there will be another roles like in Game of Thrones (Hand of the king, advisors, royal guard, etc)? Thx feelsgoodman

<@&257269635559194625> Are the whole map, nodes, dungeons open world or instanced?

pliant lotus May 10, 2017, 12:15 PM

#

<@&257269635559194625> Could the exp / looting be elaborated? Will it be a tag table like WoW's (the first to tag the mob gets the loot and xp is given from the % damage), the classic (xp is shared between the damaged being dealt, which hurts clerics and makes people unable to help newbies and lowbies due to kill stealing) or a more coop system like GW2's (everyone gets loot and full xp as long as they participate in the battle somehow, not needing to be party members)?

near crane May 10, 2017, 12:29 PM

#

<@&257269635559194625> I know the node system is going to be dynamic and can always be influenced by the players. but lets say down the road like a year after launch someone new starts the game. whats to prevent them from being a victim of the already well established structure of the nodes and does not get to experience the story of the area like everyone else did in the begining?

rain sedge May 10, 2017, 12:34 PM

#

<@&257269635559194625> will your currency be like wow and have gold silver and copper and kept at relatively low numbers when it comes to buying goods and services (end game to hold a few tens of thousands) or more like BDO where it's really easy to just get 1 million gold and therefore have higher numbers. I personally prefer keeping numbers simple and manageable.

crystal beacon May 10, 2017, 12:36 PM

#

@near crane Think of it like a Choose your own adventure novel, that is how Steven suggests.. So you'll be able to put the puzzle bits together, and nodes de-level if nothing happens(I think() in it/wars etc

hexed mural May 10, 2017, 12:57 PM

#

@crystal beacon @near crane I believe Steven stated that you need to be active in the specific node to keep the node at its current level. Like the taxes you Take will be needed to be spent on I guess infrastructure and entertainment to keep your citizens happy. So the system is interactive and just sitting in our a node and doing nothing will work against the owners of the node. And they will be adding in new areas and new stories plus dynamic events with every update so there will be something for everyone. He said he didn't want the story to be the same even across different servers. So if you play on dragon and me on unicorn we will experience a different atmosphere and story

crystal beacon May 10, 2017, 1:02 PM

<@&257269635559194625> Server question, Will I have to Sub to EU to play in that region and Sub in NA too or can I pay one sub and switch between?

#

<@&257269635559194625> Okay... That may be a kinda awkward question, but I haven't found the answer for that yet and I know some people are interested in that. Will there be something like nudity, sexual acts or even places of making paid love available to be built in the cities?

oak ember May 10, 2017, 1:16 PM

@wide mountain to get some kind of epic attack power boost?

wide mountain May 10, 2017, 1:19 PM

#

@subtle bluff I thought more of an option if u are married with the other player or the NPCs in paid love.

#

@oak ember Make it a buff generator? imawesome

subtle bluff May 10, 2017, 1:20 PM

#

No

#

If you give a bonus to married people over unmarried people, it would force people to marry in order to min-max, wouldn't it? Then marriage would become not as meaningful, in my view

oak ember May 10, 2017, 1:22 PM

#

The epic attack power freehold (for female only) +200% oh ye baby!! imawesome

wide mountain May 10, 2017, 1:23 PM

U got the point. So maybe they should make it available for everyone :)

surreal shoal May 10, 2017, 1:48 PM

#

<@&257269635559194625> I asked this about a month ago, but I'm gonna try again, and split it into 2 parts. Would you be able to give us more insight into your vision of the bard? Perhaps more specific than your current descriptions? I've seen bards take on many different styles over the years and I'm very curious what you see it as in your game? The last sentence in their description sounds like possible fears and maybe mind control like abilities; is this correct? And the second part, do you plan to make support classes such as the cleric, and most likely the bard able to stand toe to toe in solo pvp through skillful play, or will they need a dps with them to get kills consistently?

grizzled wagon May 10, 2017, 1:59 PM

#

<@&257269635559194625> Will there be some kind of level scaling?

<@&257269635559194625> will housing be 'safe' ? As in, will someone be able to just walk onto my land and kill me and /or steal my crops or w/e? Will houses by destructible by other players outside of siege times?

<@&257269635559194625> Will there be a eat, drink, sleep system in AoC?

Please no

dire cave May 10, 2017, 2:43 PM

#

<@&257269635559194625> will there be other rewards for pvp other than node benefits like gear, skins, titles, pets, and/or mounts. I know there's no pvp specific gear stat, but at least earn a general upgrade.

tiny nimbus May 10, 2017, 2:44 PM

<@&257269635559194625> when can we expect to learn more about the actual applicable differences for the races, and also the classes

If you wanna eat and drink or sleep go play Sims or something lol

dire cave May 10, 2017, 2:45 PM

#

@wide mountain most popular tavern ever lol

crystal beacon May 10, 2017, 2:47 PM

#

@dire cave you can steal crafting matts from people you kill. there is also a arena system and such that they have not gone into that much detail on what it will reward. and general upgrades will be a enchanting type system (so not pvp as far as i know)

dire cave May 10, 2017, 2:54 PM

#

Thank you, I hope they add at least a point based shop for skins and goodies earned through arena and none open world pvp.

#

Also anyone hear anything on stealth classes? Rogue or ranger ambush type?

green mica May 10, 2017, 3:03 PM

#

@dire cave From what i heard in an interview, the rogue will be the only class with a stealth ability.

#

@dreamy summit The lifetime subscription will be a Kickstarter Exclusive, if that is what you're asking.

dim monolith May 10, 2017, 3:08 PM

#

@crystal beacon No they said there wasn't going be any region lock. So NA and EU players can play with each other.

dreamy summit May 10, 2017, 3:08 PM

#

@green mica tnx, thats what i was asking, cause i dont want to commit too much of ny low income before i get to play and check out if its really as amazing as it sounds and not another "no mans sky" before i go: SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY

crystal beacon May 10, 2017, 3:09 PM

#

@dim monolith but so you need to pay two subscription s

dim monolith May 10, 2017, 3:09 PM

#

@crystal beacon No, since its all in 1 account, you gotta choose the server you wanna play in.

crystal beacon May 10, 2017, 3:10 PM

#

@dim monolith so I can have my main in eu and alt on us

#

You can keep discussing the issue at #community_helpdesk 😃

dim monolith May 10, 2017, 3:10 PM

@haughty bridge They never mention that guild size will increase, they only mention guild hall/house system. that would improve with nodes

#

<@&257269635559194625> @idle siren I've got a vital question - I want to back this project and get alfa access from a package, most likely a lifetime subscription one, but... My region isn't currently amongst those, who are 100% having servers. Will similar packages be aviable for later-appearing servers? Or If i buy a package, and play on an aviable one, will I be able to transfer stuff from it to a server in my region, if it appears? Or how will a tie of the package to a server work? Or it will be tied to account, and all servers? And how can a region show its interest in having a server before launch?

crystal beacon May 10, 2017, 4:29 PM

#

<@&257269635559194625> It will be any leaderboard ? for all class or stuff like that ?

rose breach May 10, 2017, 4:29 PM

@sacred zinc if theres a lot of hype in that reigion, then yep expect servers.

brave quartz May 10, 2017, 4:30 PM

#

<@&257269635559194625>. I know there's some SWG background on the dev team. Listening to one stream about how players will be known for being leet specialty crafters of certain items made me think of SWG there was one guy on my server who had best quality geo stun pistols. And all crafted item quality was based off quality of resources which in SwG varied tremendously.... do u guys plan to give stats/quality to resources themselves like SWG?

sacred zinc May 10, 2017, 4:36 PM

#

@rose breach the region is biiig - Russia, and yes, we have enough hype, cause we aren't less hungy for good MMORPG than others. And MMO's are popular here. But I've been asking it... Not seeing an answer. Still hoping for it, thougt. And now it has come to a-nedd-to-know point 😃 And not only for me - some of my friends want to back too, but arent sure will they be able to use what the're buying. Guess I'll <@&257269635559194625> studios with this one too)

crystal beacon May 10, 2017, 4:59 PM

#

@sacred zinc I believe Russia is part of the EU region

sacred zinc May 10, 2017, 5:04 PM

@crystal beacon yeah, like 1/10 of it others will have crazy ping and won't be able to enjoy the game. All devs and publishers realize it and have a separate server for our country. + having RU on EU = having quantity of 2 EU servers in one 😃 And don't forget the language moment

frail sonnet May 10, 2017, 5:13 PM

#

@sacred zinc They said there's going to be more than one Oceanic server, so that leads me to believe they're going to cast a wide net with their server locations. I'm sure they won't forget about you guys. 😃

sacred zinc May 10, 2017, 5:24 PM

@frail sonnet Hopefully) But the question is not only for and from me, so still hoping to hear an official answer

<@&257269635559194625>. I've always been a fan of demonic looking armor and weapons, are there any plans for making demonic themed gear and spells or even ways to altar the look of spells and gear (horns, wings, black flames, dark auras, and other thing like that)?

<@&257269635559194625> will there be a marriage system in game? Also emotes that are interactive with other players such as cuddling, carrying other players etc?

<@&257269635559194625> Will there be class restrictions on which weapon types we can use?

@sinful isle They have that as one of the kickstarter rewards, i would assume they have some non-kickstarter cosmetics aswell
@fossil zinc they have confirmed there will be a marriage ssystem, not locked by gender. not sure about the emotes though

<@&257269635559194625> will the bard have dps viability at all like being able to do some melee or will it only be support Class not including the subclass added to it

#

And when I say melee I don't mean attacking with my lute but like a sword or dagger

wise mountain May 10, 2017, 6:53 PM

Will people be able to kill/exp steal or if an unpartied group is attacking the same thing will they share exp and have their own loot drop.

<@&257269635559194625> @idle siren I'm hung up on the No Scope Creep comment. Sorry, bringing my professional life into this. 🤓 It's hard to understand how Dec 2018 remains the target for the start of alpha when the scope depends on the results of the KS, which is a few weeks away still. Is Dec 2018 a SWAG or is it a target for a certain set of systems and features? ie. will every KS stretch goal be testable in Alpha 1 or is it more like a subset of the base systems + some of the stretch goals, with the other systems coming on line during the Alpha timeline?

crystal beacon May 10, 2017, 7:41 PM

#

@full iron I believe they said something about mercenary guilds in one of the streams, I'm not sure which one, I think it was this monday's.

silent bone May 10, 2017, 7:44 PM

#

@tawny turtle I am not 100% sure of this, but I believe that is why the stretch goals are so expensive. I believe it is so they can afford to hire people to handle those portions of the project, instead of pushing the project back since they wouldnt have enough developers otherwise.

full iron May 10, 2017, 7:50 PM

#

@silent bone I think on their KS page they stated that. Just confirming I read it too.

tawny turtle May 10, 2017, 7:54 PM

#

@silent bone Thanks, I read the same. It's the variables of how many resources and when they get on board + the scope they are to work on. I'd like to see some expectations set around what the target scope is for Alpha perhaps following the completion of the KS.

When does the live stream start?

green mica May 10, 2017, 7:56 PM

#

@tawny turtle It's safe to assume that they know how much money it's needed to pull off the size project they intend to create. Most of the Kickstarter stretch goals they have are things they have accounted for at the beginning of development. They already have the core of the game funded; the kickstarter in a sense was for the stretch goals.

sand rock May 10, 2017, 7:56 PM

#

In 2 hours

tawny turtle May 10, 2017, 8:05 PM

#

@green mica So, are you saying that the team has defined all of the stretch goals, which will be funded, the total # of resources needed for those goals and that all of the stretch goals hit will be in Alpha Build 1 targetted for Dec 2018...on May 10th when the KS ends June 2?

crystal beacon May 10, 2017, 8:10 PM

#

@tawny turtle We only know that these stretch goals will be available at least upon release, some might be in alpha and some may not. If you wish some more in depth information you could take this to the #community_helpdesk channel, since this one is just for questions directed to Intrepid Studios and direct answers only 😃

Hey guys, just pledged today, quick question..well two, will players be able to Host Server's to mitigate lag and build our own story with it? and will early backers get added rewards for pledging early?

proud zodiac May 10, 2017, 8:26 PM

#

@true tundra host servers? No. All backers get backer rewards from the stretch goals

crystal beacon May 10, 2017, 8:33 PM

#

I just hope Steven will implement ways to stop the item sellers on 3rd party, because a $15/month will not be enough. I would recommend a 2% RNG to base item CRAFTING stats and durability break for items. Otherwise this game will be a GW2 mirror... if you want to know more, pm me. Player run economy is a very risky move. Without destruction, there is only creation - so item sellers will start moving up and making money.

#

The economy will be a mess in very short time....

#

So @idle siren you MUST think about this before telling us - "No RNG", because without, we are gonna be playing a AoC MOBA and an overhauled mirror of Guild Wars 2.

<@&257269635559194625> I remember reading somewhere that players will be able to play different games in taverns based on geographic location and race. Will there be an option to host a fightclub outside of or in the basement of a tavern? I would enjoy such a feature and I'm sure many others would as well

but it doesnt exist yet

limber kite May 10, 2017, 9:00 PM

#

@teal cloud there is no need for special game features for everything, it is still a MMO and payer can orginaze their events. Thats how it used to be done in all MMO (used to be). make just an announcement (forum, citychat). get a fee from all players taking part, make a rank list and get prices for the best one... I believe Duals are confirmed. They cannot add every feature we like, tho. ^^

teal cloud May 10, 2017, 9:01 PM

I'm merely asking if it would be included as one of the "tavern games" they listed as a feature as part of the parlor games between players on kickstarter

@tawny turtle Anyone who knows the answer these questions and is willing to help can answer these questions, this channel isn't exclusive to administrators, I am not the only community member who answers questions and I find it's a nice way of helping the community when staff members may take their time to answer since they are busy with many other things. More complex questions that may require some technical knowledge is understandable that must be responded by an actual Intrepid Studios member. But inquiries regarding public information the community already knows don't pose any problem 😃

@crystal beacon Well if you are right then the purpose of this channel has changed. It's supposed to be an inbox with the output being the answers channel. If your question isn't answered then it has probably already been asked and you need to do some searching as the Channel Summary explains. This channel either needs more moderation or the Channel Summary should be changed.

#

<@&257269635559194625> So this game is mostly a life skill type game? Crafting, gathering, trading /economy? IF so thats going to be disappointing as I much more enjoy mmo's with deep combat, and lots of it. ALong with some good pvp and exploration and killing stuff. I could really care less about the economy market side.

<@&257269635559194625> will dungeons / raids and other pve events have a clear time so that groups and guilds could try to compete for the fastest time and such?

crystal beacon May 10, 2017, 10:55 PM

#

@zealous walrus they explicitly told us there will be NO pay 2 win items in the game, since this is a reward that comes along with a pledge that is something different entirely, i can't imagine that a donkey would dissapear once it dies seeing how theyre so openly honest and just towards the community, im sure you're question will be answered soon though 😃

@crystal beacon True that! Thanks for your help 😁

dim monolith May 10, 2017, 11:02 PM

@fallen stone This game is abot PVE/PVP but their also making it where if you wanna make money, you need to invest in mastering of of the 3 spec aka gathering,crafting, or proccessing. There going be raid dungeons, world bosses, pvp and guild pvp and etc

muted ore May 10, 2017, 11:38 PM

#

@fallen stone to add on to what Deaglerk said, the non combat stuff is there to influence PvP and PvE and impact the world, as just like you not everyone likes playing that way. It will effect noncomabt such as crafting a legendary weapon which could only be crafted from the material dropped from a certain world boss. But since you as a combat player choose not to invest much time in crafting you can't craft that item, therefore you have to find a master crafter to do it for you. (A system is in place to prevent scamming) this is how it all ties together and this is just the tip of the ice berg.

<@&257269635559194625> I am really interested in your skill system. I have heard about it on a few youtube videos for now. I really like the idea of great diversity in your skill set. My classes' base skill set * 8 different ways to change or improve my skills. My questions are: Will we be provided with information what skills we yield and how they work ( parameters like dmg, consumptions of whatever kind, additional effects etc. ) before we choose something like cleric + mage and so on? Will the skills differ considerably if I compare something like cleric + fighter and cleric + cleric?

<@&257269635559194625> I was curious about open world PvP and factions. I know the game is essentially factionless but are you guys going to experiment with each upgraded node becoming a loose faction? Like if i'm a citizen of a node, would I lose that citizenship or incur more penalties than just the karma system of that node if i become a criminal and kill or attack members of my own node? I think this would be an awesome way to hybridize the factions in the game and I'd love to hear your thoughts.

nocturne drum May 11, 2017, 12:37 AM

@crystal beacon They are going to try to implement them before the game realeses but incase they can't, it wont delay the release of the game at all and will be added later, but i assume the simple stuff (puppies kitties as pets) will be on release

<@&257269635559194625> Hi all, such a beautiful title you have in the making! I backed as soon as I heard of the Kickstarter.

I wanted to ask about the combat system. Has anyone on the staff played The Chronicles of Spellborn? It was an MMO whose short life, less than 6 months in 2009-2010, has left most everyone who played it waiting for something to compare to it 8 years later. Here's a short video on its combat system: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_tbUy1Z5lI.

In addition to what the video shows is the concept of openers and closers. The closer ability's effect was amplified by the number of landed skills between the opener and itself. However, if one were to miss any ability, the skill deck would reset back to the first row, and the player had to build again. Many blissful hours were spent creating the perfect skill decks at max level!

<@&257269635559194625> After that released video of predator I was abit confused. He was using a bow. A Ranger Primary weapon. Since you can use all weapons on any class. Do these weapons come w/ set skills that you can use or do the skills of your class manifest into a skill soley used for that weapon? I do know that you DO NOT GAIN any additional skills because of your secondary role but only a flavor. which in terms means. your skills are modified abit to your secondary. wether its elemental arrows to your bow because you have secondary mage within range primary or the infamous example steven uses w/ the rush skill. Does Predator A and B play completely differently because they weild different weapons & more importantly does Fighter w/ bow and Bard w/ Bow use different "skills" for the bow or are they the same? I mostly ask this question because the video showed rogue using Penetration shot or Charged shot which is a Ranger skill which he should not have because he is not a Ranger Primary at least what it looked like. If this is the case. im going to assume that even IF you have the same BUILD. Your 2 builds are completely different because of the WEAPON you chose. Does this mean even if there are 64 different combo's. There are actually more customizable builds depending on the Weapon you have chosen? Sorry for the wall of text but ye 😗

<@&257269635559194625> Can I freely customize my character's appearance after character creation screen? Like in black desert. Where so long as you have an appearance token, you can freely change your character's appearance for a certain amount of time.

<@&257269635559194625> Will the game be viable for a player who is on +200ms ping? I fear that if the fighting mechanics are to be half gear based/half skilled based, then for the skill based part of it, ping plays a huge factor into what a player can do, and what they can react to.

<@&257269635559194625> is there anything the pets can do other than looking nice as a decoration? Eg the dog, kitten, falcon, phoenix

#

@onyx thistle There are combat and cosmetic pets...EDIT: from DeathsProxy, "Only 2 types of pets atm AFAIk, Combat pets and Cosmetic pets." in #aoc-discussion today at 1:00pm so yes 2 types atm

onyx thistle May 11, 2017, 2:23 AM

@proud zodiac Thank you for replying. So the pets in kickstarter pledges, eg the falcon, dragon, phoenix are all cosmetics pet or still not yet released as to what pets they will be?

@onyx thistle No idea, I will assume the kitty/puppy are cosmetic though. But thats all the info we have atm. cheers

<@&257269635559194625> As far as freeholds are concerned. If a node de-levels or is destroyed are the freeholds in that zone of influence that was lost gone as in poof. Or is it more they are now defunct because the economy just went down. Perhaps the freeholds would stay intact but only give xp and progression to their current node rather than the metropolis that was before until the zone of influence of another node stretches to cover the freehold? How is that mechanic going to work?

#

<@&257269635559194625> As far as the Hybrid combat is concerned. Are enemies and or bosses going to have exploitable weakpoints? In the video of the spider demon it had a very bright red spot on its backside and then the yeti or abominal snowman had very red eyes are these depicted weakpoints?

will there be RTS style game play when it comes to sieging nodes. if so how would you implement it, if not please consider it. i think it would be epic to be fighting in a huge battle and have a elected military official commanding NPCs and players i think it would give war a more fluid and dynamic feel. another example is you have a list of people in the battle and if there in groups you could send small groups of players and/or NPCs to do thing such as cut off supply routes, kill a general or destroy siege equipment.

@merry pelican they have said on livestream that some of these backer goals are something they want added, however instead of later after game is released it'll be made now for release. Take this answer with a pinch of salt but it's loosely what was said. Cheers

So before I go and make my big in depth dive into crafting. Is there a link to where I can read up on the crafting system and what they plan on making it to be? Or has that subject not really been touched on yet? I only watched the last 2 QnA sessions.

@halcyon dome if you're talking about what the Predator snuck in to steal. Steven stated at a point near the end that it was a "relic", no definitive answer though.

noble furnace May 11, 2017, 3:56 AM

#

@near grotto The mentioned in the last QnA that is will be extra options that others won't have. Tattoo designs, hair styles, eyebrow things, face shapes. There will be a vast amount of things to choose from in a stock pool, but these extra additional will just be a cherry on top.

Hey guys! I had a question about freeholds. In one of the streams you mentioned that you could open an Inn/other shop of sorts. I was wondering if you could elaborate on this? Would we be able to hire NPCs (or people, even) To run an Inn on our freehold, while we're away?

So If I get pick a super good spot, say between two heavily populated nodes, I could potentially run the coolest inn/hangout freehold in the area?

<@&257269635559194625> in the interviews and QnAs, it seems there will not be RNG in crafting but it will be present for "over-enchanting". Does that mean there will still be a +1, +2, +3 to etc system for equipment? That's where the RNG lies? If yes, do weapons break at high +s?

<@&257269635559194625> Roughly how many players do you feel like you will have realistically? 10k? 100k? 1mil? I know of MMOs in the past that have been very successful for years and years with 10k players (like Anarchy Online), yet others that have aimed for 1mil, over projected, and ended up with like 100k and just collapsed due to the huge gap between budget and reality (like The Secret World and Tabula Rasa).

tardy frost May 11, 2017, 9:13 AM

@fading tide the servers they will have are supposed to hold 10k players if that helps any

visual quarry May 11, 2017, 9:36 AM

#

@tardy frost <@&257269635559194625> Sorry, I'm just trying to find the difference between RNG elements in the crafting between this game and other MMORPGs. Steven said that crafting a weapon in this Ashes will not be RNG based and that RNG will be in over-enchanting instead, something like ++ levels. How is this any different from other MMORPGs? Is this not the case for most MMOs as well? Just curious why there was such an deep emphasis on this topic in the interview with DocGotGame.

upper pebble May 11, 2017, 9:44 AM

#

<@&257269635559194625> Guild question here: You guys said in one of your podcasts last week that guild sizes would be roughly limited to 300 members. Given that each character can have a seperate guild and this will probably be an Alt heavy game, will that be 300 Players Characters or 300 accounts? My concern here is that if I want to have a full guild run of a 40man raid, and the guild is very Alt heavy, we may have 300 members, but only 75 accounts. My experience in other MMO's is that on average you'll have around 30% to 40% of your members online in prime time, and am a little concerned about the numbers we'll have available if we leave the guild open to all Alts.

grave stag May 11, 2017, 9:47 AM

#

Great question @upper pebble!

heavy steeple May 11, 2017, 9:48 AM

#

@upper pebble I believe that they stated it would be Player Characters in a guild. To fix a problem like that, the guild leader can freely kick out alts in order to let people in.

west sundial May 11, 2017, 10:11 AM

i am considering to pledge on kickstarter but i have a few worries as i can't find any info on this.

is the ingame items you get purely cosmetic?
is the mount only a skin, like weapon skins, or is it like a regular mount.
if it is like a regular mount, is there any difference in speed or abilities and/or do you get it faster then the other players?

upper turtle May 11, 2017, 10:17 AM

#

@west sundial Hi welcome to the community here's your answers

Yes all ingame items currently in the kickstarter and whatever items that'll ever get added to the cash shop will be stictly cosmetics. (no p2w)
We dont know yet (to my knowledge at least) but my guess would be that it would either be a skin you could equip to your mount once you unlock it in game or just a basic mount you would get eventually as others would get their mount (people who havent pledged) so instead of maybe getting a dunkey you'll get a cool looking horse.
I kind of answer it above^

@west sundial The only mounts in the KS with special abilities would be the moonstrider, which can carry items, like a mule but it's faster (and looks amazing). And the Dawnbreaker, which can glide. The other KS mounts are ordinary horses stat wise

does the pets in the game have any other function than being cool/cute?

#

there are combat and cosmetic pets and they are debating on if they will auto loot @west sundial

west sundial May 11, 2017, 11:13 AM

#

then again is the plan for pets to be a cash shop item? as they have stated there would be no vanity items and auto looting would make pets so. or are they tameable for everyone? which then again would not make much of a difference in gameplay if you can both buy and catch one

tardy frost May 11, 2017, 11:15 AM

#

@west sundial there are supposed to be epic mounts that you get from bosses and things like that, there will probably be cosmetic pets in the shop, but i wouldn't guess that combat pets would be.

#

@west sundial Steven mentioned in the last interview that there might be an epic mount that starts off as an egg you get from a monster and then you have to raise the egg into the mount.

west sundial May 11, 2017, 11:21 AM

So if the majority is dwarves will all the buildings be small to accompany the drawf's size or will dwarves have to suffer in there own node and have buildings be everyone else's size

echo badge May 11, 2017, 12:57 PM

#

@long spear hyperinflation typicaly stems from the ing term persistence of items in a game wherein eventually everyone has access to the "best" stuffs. In AoC however everything eventually breaks gear wise or is increasingly difficult to keep up perhaps requiring a large portion of the original materials to repair. Again however, nothing in AoC is permanent from an item standpoint so the market and economy and player actions will always be driven towards acquisition. If that makes sense

tardy frost May 11, 2017, 1:11 PM

#

@mild bear what would be the point of doing that? you would have to level up to the point that you could kill a player and then after about 3 or 4 pk's you would have to delete your character and restart which then would make it so you have to level and regear higher because there would be higher level people out for not much of gain if any.

<@&257269635559194625> Can you get an in-game mount with the same gliding ability as the DawnBreaker even if it's an entirely different Skin? Or will only those that support the Kickstarter be able to glide?

<@&257269635559194625> Will we be able to make social activity rooms or even buildings inside your guildhall like for example a Bath house or even living quarters for those guild members unable to purchase a home of their own, or that want to Role play?

would love to see something like that and more in depth.
for example someone can be a fisherman - sells fishes to npc's or use them in special crafting recipe and use his special skills to help his friends out in the sea.
or a maid you can work in bars for npc's and players to get some money or craft special food to give some buffs in combat something like that sandals

<@&257269635559194625> I understand we will not lose the items stored in our freehold/house in case it is destroyed during a siege, but, if the node is totally obliterated to the point where is doesn't have a bank anymore or doesn't even exist (back to lvl 0) what happens to the items in your bank. is it the same?

#

<@&257269635559194625> Will we be able to have some sort of insurance for the destroyable stuff we own in our node, so that if it is destroyed we get some, if not all the resources we invested in it?

#

<@&257269635559194625> Will there be Natural Disasters like Earthquakes, tsunamis, Blizzards, volcano eruptions, or even meteors able to de-level or destroy a node?

@manic compass there are a few jobs that steven has such as inn keeper, tavern owner, you can cook food for people that offer buffs for some things and fishing is great cause fish can be used in different forms of crafting. idk if this helps

flint barn May 11, 2017, 2:24 PM

@dry flower There will be different events caused by how a node is developed. We don't have any specifics yet, but Steven used an example of how a dragon boss may appear during winter, and if it is not killed the winter will persist until it is defeated

<@&257269635559194625> I got a question.
since you are using Unreal Engine 4 for the game, would you allow the Community to make assets, like, Skins, Mounts, Weapons, or maybe even whole areas/zones, by using Unreal Engine 4. There are some really talented people in the gaming Community. It would definitelyd help you guys with making the game.

hard dune May 11, 2017, 2:40 PM

@broken vessel Steven said that there are different servers for NA, EU and OCE + that characters cannot switch servers as each server will have a different story. I guess you'll have to use 1 character for NA and 1 for EU.

west garnet May 11, 2017, 2:57 PM

@hard dune he didn't say that we wouldn't be able to play in other region's servers. @broken vessel could just connect across the atllantic for 6 months out of the year.

broken vessel May 11, 2017, 2:59 PM

#

@west garnet I guess the question is more that I have contacts on both sides, and timezone wise that would be difficult. Basically, can I have one account in two different regions. two different characters are fine, but I don't want to be region locked

#

as an example, World or Warcraft was region locked as the region you play in is connected to the billing region and you have to cancel your account to switch

<@&257269635559194625> in one of the recent interviews was said, that stealing from other people is not in the game. Would the Thieves Guild implement such a mechanic after all or does it serve a completely different purpose? Thx 😉

@broken vessel You will be able to play with your account in both regions, characters may be another story. PD: I used to play in both EU and NA servers when I played WoW and had no problem 😮

cool, thanks

@limber kite No information atm, But (Puts tin foil hat on) expect something around stealing to come in with the thieves guild if its inplimented

<@&257269635559194625> So I watched the QnA you did with TheLazyPeon and I heard Paladin as you were describing some of the class arctypes. Now i have played a lot of MMORPG's and it seems like everytime there is a Paladin or even a Tank that can heal themselves it becomes a super class. In WoW you can do raids with nothing but Paladins, do you guys have something in place to make sure a super class doesn't form

vast condor May 11, 2017, 4:43 PM

@mental bloom You need someone to heal the party. Also depending on how strong the dungeon is compared to your gear you might need more than one healer on that tank.

<@&257269635559194625> As I understand it the plan for AoC is that the game is going /w a traditional subscription payment plan, How would you respond to critics who feel that having a shop with purchasable cosmetics and other non power related items is unethical as these should be included or accessable for the cost of the game + subscription? Because it feels like having on Disc DLC only in an MMO application?

Thank you for your consideration.

dim monolith May 11, 2017, 5:03 PM

#

@errant monolith I believe they said in one of the stream that, everything that will be on the shop will able to obtain in-game probably just a bit take longer compare to people who are buying it from the shop. I hope someone else can confirm with me about this.

nimble wave May 11, 2017, 5:08 PM

#

@dim monolith
"There will be a balance. Players will have a wide range of cosmetics available through in-game accomplishment and progression, as well as a wide variety of purchasable cosmetics for players who are more casual and would prefer to support the game through the cash shop. Either way, player customization will be achievable from a cosmetic standpoint readily throughout the game."
so there is a diffrence betwen the two.
@errant monolith Thus, it can be understood you are UNABLE to sell the cosmetics you aquire trough cashshop

tardy frost May 11, 2017, 5:10 PM

#

to add on to needletail's last part, cash shop items will not be tradeable because it can lead to a p2w situation.

errant monolith May 11, 2017, 5:11 PM

#

@nimble wave The crux of my question revolves around a much simpler one. Outside backer exclusive rewards from crowd funded ventures will there be any items in AoC that strictly obtainable in cash shop that cannot be earned playing the game?

median hearth May 11, 2017, 5:11 PM

#

<@&257269635559194625> will there be a Mentoring mechanic in Ashes of Creation?

nimble wave May 11, 2017, 5:12 PM

#

Oh there is a simlliar question answered in the answers:
-cash shops are going to be only cosmetics. But is there going to be a big catalog of cool gear for us that don't want or can't to do that? Sometimes 15 a month is all hat can be given. I want to look cool in the end and then maybe at the end when i am tired of what I am wearing but like that stats I will do cosmetics. Is there going to be a lot of gear to keep me playing? Like if i want a fire sword I must be a mage or have some sort of spell ability. Thanks.

+Absoutely
@errant monolith does it answer your question? ^^

dim monolith May 11, 2017, 5:12 PM

Yeah they did say there will be transmog

<@&257269635559194625> Will NPC interaction (specifically questing and the like) involve mostly voice acting or will it be the old school UI window with quest text?

grizzled kite May 11, 2017, 5:16 PM

#

@idle siren <@&257269635559194625> being able to modify and customize a merchant tent or building like your home would be pretty amazing. Maybe a kickstarter goal?

nimble wave May 11, 2017, 5:17 PM

#

@grizzled kite It is a thing, without the Kickstarter!
to add further, the houses will be aviable to personally customized. the kick starter just adds another unique "skin"
similliar question:
-Q: Do the designs of the freehold houses change depending on the region your building it in? Or is it mainly all up to the player (If you know)

+A: Building designs will be diverse and have many skins that are both unique and limited

tardy frost May 11, 2017, 5:18 PM

#

@grizzled kite they brought that up in the stream. he said that he feels that depending what the main item will be it should have a static display on the stalls and that they might do more.

blissful thicket May 11, 2017, 5:20 PM

Do we know anything yet about exactly how extensive character customization will be? Specifically, will I be able to make my female mage so sexy that it doesn't make sense?

@blissful thicket extensive from what he said in the streams

have a question there according to dungens and rading , let say agrp of 20 playes or so in a dungen or in a raid killing a boss , how do ppl know how good they perform in participating killing thos monster , what i mean is how do i know if player A is better than player b during this event if both player are dps and who get the max out of his output dps and who is fail dps ? am talking as agrp leader piont of view in this dungen , so i may replace some ppl if there dps was quit low , hope you get my question here

@Interpid studios one more question here does the EU servers support middle east rejoinal countries like Eygpt , UAE ( Dubai) ? for other games like wow ppl frome middle east can join EU severs with agood in game latency with no lag issues, but for AOC does that work , cause lots of fans are there

terse birch May 11, 2017, 6:46 PM

#

<@&257269635559194625> Will pets or summons count as PVP flagging if they auto defend? For example. I am a summoner, I have a summoned... whatever. I go afk. Someone tries to kill me. My summon fights back by default (usual setting in most games) Am I now flagged for PVP or am I still considered a non-combatant? And if I am a non-combatant, in that vein of questioning, if I only attack with my summon by telling him to on purpose, would I potentially still be a non-combatant or would me directing the summon make a difference?

shut orchid May 11, 2017, 6:50 PM

#

Will my secondary class affect how strong I am with my weapon: For example: Fighter is profficient with all weapons but a Fighter/cleric is stronger with 2 handed Hammers, because cleric is strong with hammers. Or Fighter/rogue is stronger with dual wielding 1 handed Swords, because rogue is strong with 1 handed dual wield? (I hope not... just sayin')

coarse stirrup May 11, 2017, 7:08 PM

Maybe Sword and hand crossbow for rouges/explorers?

<@&257269635559194625> Hello! Thanks for helping develop such a fascinating new experience, I had a question maybe you can help me with; If I'm not mistaken I think I remember one of the devs talk about the need for people who would scout etc. how will that work exactly? I find this is one of the most interesting aspects of the game if implemented correctly, and got a little confused with what we saw at the "Ashes of Creation - The Art of War" vid.

appreciate you taking your time to go over this.

Is there a possibility that bards can play music around in different taverns across the land, and perhaps earn a bit of gold?

green mica May 11, 2017, 7:14 PM

#

<@&257269635559194625> Will there be an in-game system to create your own music as a bard, similar to LOTRO?

rocky stone May 11, 2017, 7:22 PM

#

<@&257269635559194625> So we know that there will be cosmetic armors, but will there be a system in place to wear those armors/accessories as vanity while still having the benifits of real armor?

green mica May 11, 2017, 7:27 PM

#

@rocky stone Yes, all cosmetic gear will be transmog. So you can use the looks of it while using real gear.

<@&257269635559194625> Something wasn't 100% clear to me with crafting from yesterday's stream - is it meant to be modular like SWG where procedural material attributes drive the quality of the product, or do you just put low/normal/high grade steel in the steel slot and adjust attributes with plus/minus arrows?

rocky stone May 11, 2017, 7:28 PM

#

very cool, will it work something like having a dedicated vanity slot to put the armors in, or will it be something more akin to final fantasy xiv's "glamour" system?

green mica May 11, 2017, 7:28 PM

#

@rocky stone Not sure. All we know so far is that there will be transmog.

<@&257269635559194625> So I plan to do a fighter/bard character, and when I use skills I want my character to "/yell" parts of a song like for example "manowar - swords in the wind" will I be able to use yell macros with skills?

lucid oasis May 11, 2017, 8:35 PM

<@&257269635559194625> If you are playing a Summoner as your primary, does your secondary change the look of your pets? For example: Summoner/Cleric the pets begin to look like raised undead or Summoner/Mage the pets become a representation of one of the elements (Fire, Water, Air, Earth) or Summoner/Ranger brings animal pets.

<@&257269635559194625> I really like the high fantasy look of your game, the medieval aesthetic is my favorite world to play in. In your first combat video, I saw the following spell being cast and it really seemed out of place with the rest of the game. It appears that you are mixing futuristic (hexagon) with high fantasy, was this intentional and is that the direction you are headed?

<@&257269635559194625> im more interested in the crafting, will it be a run of the mill where everyone can do it as in like an off time thing and still get high mastery in it or will it be somewhat time consuming cause that could also mean wether or not someone should just main in crafting or not "as in no one would need to hire a crafter for guild weapons, armor, ect." would just feel off for it to not feel very important like most games do

nimble wave May 11, 2017, 11:01 PM

@pale hound They confirmed that they want the game to feel that if you are a "master" of certain craft, you've earned it. the exact quote was "if every one is a master, then noone is"

@pale hound both, there will be weapons that can be gained from things such dungeons, but then also remember that you can get legendary/rare mats, and can craft legendary weapons via master crafter, so both will be viable as the "best" end game gear.

<@&257269635559194625> I am really excited about the Orc race. I love orcs, but i feel like it's tough to get them "just right" as far as aesthetics go. So, will they be more "beastly" hunched over and what not, or more human like? And, what colors are their skin going to be? we usually see green/grey, but i noticed there is a piece of art showing red orcs. Thank yoU!!

cursive thorn May 12, 2017, 3:51 AM

@coral remnant there are limitations in place so that only a certain amount of nodes can reach metropolis stage at any given moment (like 6 once max.) Basically the whole map will never become 'fully developed'. I'd say it's safe to assume there will always be nodes that are either completely undeveloped or in the very basic stages of development.

#

<@&257269635559194625> What is the likelihood of diverse gender options been introduced? (Maybe similar to current Sims 4 way of doing things) As a member of the LGBT community I would love to see some diversity in a mmorpg. Just for once.

<@&257269635559194625> Hello, new to the community, and certainly excited for the game, being new, I want to know, is there any lore which has been released as of now? And if so, where would one go about reading it?

<@&257269635559194625> I'm really interested in an MMO whos combat will reward a fast reaction time and an ability to manage more then just ability cooldowns, how will AOS differ from the standard "out dps the heals" that we constantly see in the MMO scene today?

vocal birch May 12, 2017, 4:41 AM

#

@cursive thorn I think you would need to explain a bit more of what you are looking for. Just judging off of your question, it sounds more like something the player would have to create within their character. Unless you mean will we see a diversity where same sex NPCs interact with each other on an openly romantic level, or give your character to do the same thing with an in game marriage system/social system like we saw in the Mass Effect series or later in Dragon Age Inquisition.

cursive thorn May 12, 2017, 4:44 AM

#

@vocal birch Well obviously same-sex romances and what not would be nice.
I was more along the line sod being able to choose whether your character prefers feminine or masculine clothing, if there is voice, then same thing there. So essentially like, you would have male, female, and custom. Where you wouldn't necessarily be limited by regular gender restriction in character appearance and what not.

#

So similar to these options from Sims 4

I understand that the Holy Trinity of Tank, DPS, and Healer are prevelant, but is there a chance we can see the Divine Quad with Tank, Dps, Healer, and SUPPORT (hopefully a role for the Bard)

#

@cursive thorn Well, marriage is already confirmed and isn't gender or race locked. I certainly don't see any reason why a sims 4 like approach for gender would not work for AoC. Nothing has been confirmed yet as far as I know. Hopefully @idle siren might weigh in. I'd like such a system too.

cursive thorn May 12, 2017, 4:48 AM

#

@livid kite Yea I know it's not confirmed or anything. But it would be nice to see it considered at least.

vocal birch May 12, 2017, 4:49 AM

#

@cursive thorn ahh okay I see what you are saying. A little clarification goes a long way. So what I would ask <@&257269635559194625> would be: "Will gender play a role in what style clothing your character wears? For example, will a male character be able to wear more feminized clothing, i.e. makeup, wigs, dresses, etc. or has that not been discussed yet?"

cursive thorn May 12, 2017, 4:51 AM

#

@vocal birch Basically yes. I just would like some form of androgynous (gender ambiguous) option. Or some way to create that yea.

Good morning! I have 2 serious questions. First one is, I'm in the middle of an upgrade and I'm considering both Intel and AMD. Will AoC support multy core or will it be more single core oriented? And the 2nd, since AoC will be my next MMORPG I'm considered backing towards lifetime free game. I have to do it until the Kickstarter ends or I can do it later on? 450-500$ is a lot of money etc and I need time to gather them. Thx in advance!

Will there be any kind of UI / Addon customization? For e.g. LUA Support or other UI moddable? i've created and edited alot of addons for teso back in that days, and i'm missing it very much in bdo for e.g. - so i hope there will be a system for it (doesn't have to be lua, just any)
also talking about api's - is it planned that you can export your current char / etc over an ingame -> webapi or export for e.g. to fan/guildsites? that would be awesome/helpful

(2) Although there's no box price planned for the game at this stage, will there ever be a possibility of a collector's edition for the game? I am so willing to buy a collector's edition with an artbook, little phoenix figurine, and a cool display case 😄 Will be a great sentimental piece to have after possibly playing the game for years. To this day, I regret missing the early WoW collector's editions. Don't want to miss it again!

<@&257269635559194625> TLDR: Will all mobs scale in level with the player or will there be zones with lvl 1- lvl 10 mobs etc?
I was considering how this would work and it has a HUGE impact on which nodes will be developed fastest. When the game launches the starting nodes will get exp at a very fast rate and that rate will not slow down for some time. If the zones are sectioned off by level it would create a natural progression and possibly stimulate early "Meaningful Conflict" ie: "We don't want this starting zone metropolis pls giv island node city." But this does limit the nodes we can develop early game. So this question also begs whether or not the node system is level locked or will it give us free reign to choose which nodes to develop from launch?

<@&257269635559194625> in one of the interviews with doc you guys mentioned a system that punishes griefing and ganking. Will there be a system in place that encourages open world PvP ? Maybe alliances that are at war are flagged red and can kill each other with no punishment. To me some sort of open world PvP aspects need to be encouraged to give players like myself that risk vs reward feeling if I need to cross enemy nodes for travel etc. I agree it can't ruin an experience and you would have to limit spawn camping in some way but I really enjoy random PvP. In certain game's we used to raid quest areas as a guild to create conflict until opposing faction's banded together to force us back. Is anything like this possible outside of the siege system?

<@&257269635559194625> How will multiplue chacters work. lets say i have 5 in the same area on same the server. would i be able to trade between them and be selfseficent if i wished like one being smelter one crafter etc. (i expect it to be very difficult to somewhat difficult to do this but it would be nice if it was still possible).

<@&257269635559194625> - So i'm a heavy fan of World of Warcraft because of the armor and weapons. They're heavily fantasy inspired such as dragonheads that breathes fire as shoulders and the healm is a dragonhead etc. You know, real armor that looks like armor

<@&257269635559194625> Will the two racial skins be something that can be used at all times(Mounted, combat etc) or is it going to be essentially a 'fun' item that can only be used outside of combat etc, similar to how GW2 or WoW does a lot of their items?

Many MMOs out there have expansion packs that are released every year or two and it makes the game feel like all of your progress up to that point was meaningless, since the expansion is like a hard reset on the world. How will Ashes of Creation handle this?

<@&257269635559194625> What can we expect from the node system in the early game? I would think that the four starting nodes would be the most developed. How can the players best manage where to produce a Metropolis, and prevent the starting areas from taking up 4 of the 5 Metropolises?

<@&257269635559194625> Name reservation is part of some of the Kickstarter Pledge rankings. What are your thoughts on how naming conventions will be handled? Will we be able to have full (first and last) names? Will we have any information about in-game race language and name samples?

<@&257269635559194625> if voice over is a thing you would like but know cost too much then why not ask the community to help... like release some texts you want voices and let people send there sound file for you to pick and choose from then you dont have to pay voice actors and you only have to spend some time on it to get free voice over 😃

nimble wave May 12, 2017, 11:17 PM

#

@quasi lion The short answer is NO.
the node system is a benfit system, meaning as you level up and do actions, your action help the node advance. thus enhancing those actions and allowing you to gain an advantage.
However, as diffrent nodes will have diffrent types and diffrent focuses, youll probably want to "join" a node that moves your own play-style, so it will be easier to "level up" and advance in the game.
the options of migration is there, but defintley is not necessery and I think it is safe to assume that it will defintley not limit your leveling.

<@&257269635559194625> Roleplaying. I know you're not going to create roleplaying servers, per se, but roleplaying and encouraging people to live and breathe their roles is still an important factor of things. How do you plan to encourage people to live the roles they've carved out for themselves, if at all?

Also, how much 'immersion breaking' will be allowed? If the top guild of the server are the "<xXx 420 KILLAZ xXx>, will you just turn a blind eye?

crystal beacon May 13, 2017, 12:23 AM

I think role players on a server will migrate to a node thats out of the way forming there own country so to speak. @modest lion

<@&257269635559194625> another big question. If those of us who will have access to the kikstarter alpha use the rewards there, will we be able to redeem the rewards again in the beta's and on launch. Or is it going to be a one time thing?

Hey guys!
Is it possible that we get more info on the Phoenix Initiative?

We know already that the GMs will be there and that "it will simply offer what the world does in a more personal space."
But does this mean we can go here and grind,quest etc etc. Will this just be an upside down world?

<@&257269635559194625> @idle siren For the angelic/demonic racial skin, can you elaborate a lil bit further? Say I have a Santa seasonal costume equipped on my character and I toggle on the angelic racial skin, what will I look like? Does it overwrite my santa suit with the default golden chestplate or does it augment my santa outfit with bling(by that I mean you guys will slightly augment every outfit in the game) and give me wings?

@open hawk Nodes are spread around the map.
by completing certain task you "chip in" into the specific node, that controls that action via its Zone of influence

Hey I'm very hyped for this game and wish the best for it ! I currently want to pledge to help the project and get the benefits. If so how would I be notified and able to redeem the package when time comes? Also what caught my eye was a lifetime subscription perk.

<@&257269635559194625> During character creation & while you are leveling up, will you be able to dictate your ability scores / attributes / stats, or will those be static & tied to your level / race / class? I have always enjoyed the freedom systems like D&D, Vanguard, & Anarchy Online gave the player while designing their custom build.

nimble wave May 13, 2017, 5:23 AM

#

@west zodiac Yes. correct. the life time sub, literally means, you'll be able to play forever for free.
And you'll recieve information via mail on the 2nd of June when the kick-starter is over.
the safest bet would be that they will intredouce the code system, in other words, youll recieve a code, which youll be able to redeem on system they'll intredouce later on.

<@&257269635559194625> I've seen a thing on your Q&A and idk if it was properly presented. About multiboxing, you guys said that it was fine to have alts to play and stuff, and that it was ok. For me it seemed you guys didnt understand the kind of multiboxing it was asked. The way i see multiboxing is one guy with a strong pc (or several) that with some sort of program can with one key/command control x number of characters toghether, meaning u can see 10-20 mages all packed up toghether and casting fireball at you, which it isnt fun to experience. So presented like this, can you guys not permit such a thing, is not good for the game to have ppl with better computer skills to have an army at his control instead of one character like everyone else.

multiboxing 10-20 is feasible in any game just need the effort money and pc strengh but it shouldnt be allowed. Being possible or not just the idea of an army of ppl casting the same spell at u at the same time and u have no way to react is not the way any rpg should go.

#

@wintry sequoia#684
Difficult question, so early in development, 2 years away from live launch. System requirements will change over time. Something that has been build in the last 4-6 years should be able to run the game.
UE4 gives a lot of graphic options to the client. Players should have the ability to scale things all the way up, or all the way down and performance orientated. UE4 should give them a lot of options in this regard.

this is their most recent response to that question

<@&257269635559194625> Hello, as you said in the last two gameplays they are in game the powerful artifacts which players could store in special buildings (e.g Temple). As we saw in „The Art. Of War” gameplay, another players could steal the artifact. Are you planning to implement something similar to „bounty hunting” mechanics to the thief of the artifact ? When the local artifact will be stolen, could the citizens do anything to get it back. Are you going to implement to the game any mechanics which helps the deffenders to succsessfully take back the artifact?
I’m very curios how did you react on my proposal, so let’s go.
The artifacts could emit a strong aura, which allows the citizens to track the thief, kill them and get back the artifact. The succsessfully retrievable of the stolen „anty-siege” artifact will save the node. The tracking of thiefs mechanics, can make the sieges more dynamic, and may cause a solo-infiltration scenarios nearly impossible to achive, but so epic.
Much love to your project !

<@&257269635559194625> What happens to our belongings when our node gets sacked. I recall a statement about not being able to carry everything. Do we have a bank? If so can the bank get robbed, burned down, etc. I cant enjoy the fact that I may have to leave for a week for work and come back to absolutely everything getting destroyed and all efforts lost due to my home being destroyed.

@minor schooner If you would have watched the yesterday's stream you would know that there is no limit to how many people can get the citizenship buy purchasing a house in that node, however prices for purchasing a house in that particular node increase with each purchase that was made. Because of price increasing each time it forces you to consider a possibility to get a citizenship in another node.

Thanks Needle, just wanted to make sure

torpid rover May 13, 2017, 10:18 AM

#

Are there any static instances/ dungeons / raids. Or do they only appear 1 time and once completed they are gone? How does looting actualy work everyone get to loot , yes there will be the trinity NEED GREED PASS but what of events if not in a group does everyone benefit or is it just 1 person? Bag space will there be seperate crafting bag or will there be a weight limit stack limit or...?

Hey, super interested in this game as it pretty much sums up everything I've ever wanted in an MMO, my question is though, if I pledge the $500 tier for example, will I be able to stream or create content about the alpha I'll get invited to? I couldn't find any explicit details regarding this, so thought I'd ask to be sure. 😃

nimble wave May 13, 2017, 10:29 AM

#

@sick basin The Alpha on KS will be wihotut NDA.
so the answer is yes.

#

let me get you the quote,

<@&257269635559194625> Does Kickstarter accepts debit cards? because i'm afraid that sure they said that they confirmed my booking for the pledge, but when it's paytime my card gets declined because they don't support debit cards.

<@&257269635559194625> About angelic/demonic skins, is it something that will be dealt to each character of a Leader of men account, or would this work only for a single character?

devout pebble May 13, 2017, 11:00 AM

#

<@&257269635559194625> In regards to freeholds, if conditions permit would it be possible to own a freehold in the middle of nowhere/far from any village or town? Or must it be in a certain range?

gloomy valve May 13, 2017, 11:01 AM

#

@ancient meteor They've said for other rewards it'll be limited to 1 character, but you can send them to other characters on the account. Not sure if it'll apply to the demon/angel skins but id assume so

ancient meteor May 13, 2017, 11:02 AM

#

Thanks, friend.

rose breach May 13, 2017, 11:02 AM

@devout pebble it has to be in the nodes ZoI (zone of influence), if its a large ZoI then yes, you can have it in the middle of nowhere

lone nimbus May 13, 2017, 11:02 AM

#

@devout pebble Yes! There are three types of housing. In regards to open world freeholds you can place them anywhere. All areas of the map fall under a nodes juristriction

<@&257269635559194625> Will this game limit players flexibility with Skill Points or only through investing time to meet the requirements for certain skills/augments?

#

@devout pebble Steven hasn't said much about it other than large

lone nimbus May 13, 2017, 11:07 AM

#

@devout pebble Yeah there will be few restrcitons apparently, open world freeholds can be placed anywhere as long as there's no rivers and big stones etc. Trees will get removed when you place one :p

one of the later alphas*

@rich granite that is the KS alpha so no nda there

rich granite May 13, 2017, 11:11 AM

Okay thanks ! 😉

lone nimbus May 13, 2017, 11:11 AM

#

I think it's a pretty standard model now, like the whole archeage persistent alpha

#

close to being a complete game rly

#

sort of an opportunity to get more sales as well haha

devout pebble May 13, 2017, 11:12 AM

#

Is there a limit as to how many freeholds can be placed in an area or can you essentially create a village of freeholds? For example, a guild placing 30 freeholds in an area.

hollow surge May 13, 2017, 11:13 AM

#

What if Tatoos where kind of minor magic enchat that every one culd have

lone nimbus May 13, 2017, 11:13 AM

#

@devout pebble Well it's one open freehold per account. Not sure on placement distance, I don't think anything has been said :p

#

@devout pebble coming from a guy that;s literally read every forum post and Q&A unless there's something I missed in intrepid_answers :p

devout pebble May 13, 2017, 11:14 AM

#

Haha, I havent seen anything about it either. I'm picturing a guild creating an entire city of them.

lone nimbus May 13, 2017, 11:14 AM

#

there's a crazy post on the forums where someone screenshotted like a 100 comments even made here, some really cool facts, it's on the site somewhere

#

@devout pebble that would be great haha, i mean despite whatever the placement distance is i'm sure guilds will still try and stick together, even if means building a tad further away from each other than they would like :p

#

ultima online was awesome with open world housing (except for busy servers where there's little land) so many awesome guild communities :p

Will players be able to more than one house at the time? Like town house, apartment and land plot?

shut orchid May 13, 2017, 11:26 AM

#

@prime salmon yes you can own more houses, but you can only be citizen of 1 node

flint barn May 13, 2017, 11:27 AM

#

@prime salmon I believe Steven said you'll be able to own 3 houses at a time

prime salmon May 13, 2017, 11:28 AM

#

So beta and hs people get that advantage?

lone nimbus May 13, 2017, 11:30 AM

#

@prime salmon @shut orchid You'll be able to own one house of each type (i think) So one node house, one intanced node house as well (but maybe not because why even bother if you have a rare non instanced node house) and one open world freehold

verbal quiver May 13, 2017, 11:30 AM

#

@prime salmon during the HS node progress will be turned off. so no one will get a advatage when it comes to housing, and the housing also requires a node to be at a certain level - that takes time

flint barn May 13, 2017, 11:30 AM

#

@prime salmon The node system will be deactivated during the headstart, so no

prime salmon May 13, 2017, 11:30 AM

#

Will there be some kind of housing for everyone? I mean, will there be enough?

flint barn May 13, 2017, 11:32 AM

#

@prime salmon Yes, instanced appartments within nodes will be a thing. They may not be as big or cool as static housing, but they will offer a home, if you are a citizen of that node

lone nimbus May 13, 2017, 11:32 AM

#

@prime salmon Yeah so no limits to instanced housing, the rest will be finite. I wish Steven would tell us if most of us would get an opportunity for open world freeholds but so far he's just said that "open world freeholds will be limited by the amount of space". The non instanced in node housing will be very very rare though

Can a player government impose indirect taxes on certain goods or types of goods that are sold within its zoi?

nimble wave May 13, 2017, 12:16 PM

@pearl stratus Players rent stalls to sell goods, these stalls price is set by the government, meaning that there will taxing on the stall itself,

The information was taken from confirmed sources in the game’s community discord, the official forums, official interviews, and scheduled and unscheduled Q&As. Some ...

#

@pearl stratus Also, note that they do plan the government to tax its citizens, to futher develop the node.
the tax itself doesnt go to the person governing, but rather into the "node bank" to use to futher develop the node.
it is also importnat that the governemnt maintain a certain balance, too high and poeple may leave, too low and it wont thrive.
hope I helped ❤

pearl stratus May 13, 2017, 12:24 PM

#

@nimble wave thank you for the information and the document, but I don't think you directly answered my question. All of the options for taxation mentioned so far seem to be direct taxation (taxes on profit, income or wealth). I was wondering if the government could decide to add a tax onto the price of a specific good when it is sold in the ZOI. This could be useful to disincentivise the consumption of goods the government does not like.

<@&257269635559194625> We have examples of the martial classes using a magical class as a secondary, but could we have an example of what a skill created by taking a magical main class with a martial secondary class would look like? (So, a Mage/Fighter, modifying their firebolt skill or some such with some skill from the Fighter, for example)

pearl stratus May 13, 2017, 12:27 PM

#

If all classes can use all weapons, does that mean I can fire arrows from my lute strings?

#

or do I just whack people with a lute if I'm not a bard?

#

@sturdy jacinth this is speculation, but maybe you would get something like the option to throw your sword in an arc while it is on fire to deal some physical damage as well

hollow rapids May 13, 2017, 12:54 PM

#

@pearl stratus (there are 2 people with that name on here) we don't know whether a lute is an actual weapon. Bow&Arrow will most likely just be a 2h weapon, so firing arrows with a lute would not be possible. Some abilities are only usable with certain weapons.

pearl stratus May 13, 2017, 12:54 PM

Will arrows be consumables?

For the Kickstarter Exclusive - $1,000 pledge - Demonic / Angelic Racial Skin... Is that a one time use thing..? And can you only choose one or the other? Or will you get both/be able to use both?

@earnest lily you can toggle it on and off 😃

<@&257269635559194625> Ok, here's a suggestion for selling more 2.5k Pledges. During the migration back to this world, someone had to go ahead and clear the way for all the people heading to the portal. (Make it a safe journey.) You could add a Lore Quest for researching those heroes (The backer Statues). Since those Backers are then almost guaranteed to get notice by the community, it's a more worthwhile reward.

crystal beacon May 13, 2017, 2:56 PM

Adds to much fame for people who (as far as I'm concerned) don't particularly deserve recognition just for backing the game.

@idle siren <@&257269635559194625> Hey guys, is it possible to get a full list of perks for the various kickstarter reward levels? Its a bit confusing trying to figure out what the "and all previous rewards" means. Does that make sense?

#

@crystal beacon scroll down to the bottom of the ks page 😃

upper turtle May 13, 2017, 2:57 PM

#

@crystal beacon All previous rewards means all the rewards from the cheaper packages so if you brough the $100 pack you get all the rewards included in the $50 and all the rewards included in the $25 pack

crystal beacon May 13, 2017, 2:59 PM

Roger that...that was my interpretation too...I just wish I had a full list of what that was...as opposed to having to look back at all the previous packages.

<@&257269635559194625> Will a node instantly level or will it begin a timer to level , when the node government controller decides to do so? if it is a timer how will people know the time it levels? This applies to housing issue of who will get first chance at a house early on.

crystal beacon May 13, 2017, 3:41 PM

#

@wispy sundial the nodes have a progression bar that fills up when people do activties in the ZOI of the node from watching the videos but if we see that ingame is unknown. The first acouple of stages can take hours to progress so i think will see the change ingame when it happens without the need for a server started.

I'm curious what your plan is for Mana. As a combat resource, is it something that will have to always be managed and watched. I.E choosing to use one spell over another unless needed. Or will it be a sort of "timer" where you have x amount of time of combat before running out.

<@&257269635559194625> Will we be able to rename the node once if becomes a village/city/metropolis, or is it predetermined?

#

<@&257269635559194625> @idle siren Earlier in one of KS Steven mentioned that a depleted ore vein doesn't neccessarily have to appear on the same location. So I wanted to ask if that location is within the ZoI of that node in which it originally appeared or can it appear anywhere in the world?

Will you guys have an energy system that limits gathering or will we be able to gather all day if we wanted? will we have the ability to see server ranks to see who is the best of the best? or a system to look up crafters to find some one to make our sword of jeff?

@idle siren <@&257269635559194625> Are your game designers keeping some of the content from you so that you can play your own game and enjoy it?

upper trench May 13, 2017, 10:59 PM

#

<@&257269635559194625> With the Underrealm being funded will we be able to make unground city's? will the underrealm node effect the regular node in that same area? If you can build a underrealm city can you build a city on top of the underground one?

crystal beacon May 13, 2017, 11:01 PM

#

@upper trench underground nodes will act like any other node and they dont share the same ZOI as surface nodes.

upper trench May 13, 2017, 11:04 PM

#

@crystal beacon so we should be able to build hidden citys's and strike back at the surface dewllers

crystal beacon May 13, 2017, 11:06 PM

#

@upper trench well dont think they will hidden but yes if everything goes to plan. I think they talked about it on the weds stream if you want to look it up for maybe more details

junior quarry May 13, 2017, 11:06 PM

@upper trench its in the stream on wednesday i think they answer your question and explain it

<@&257269635559194625> Any chance you guys will offer a reseller for pledges much like how Crowfall does it? So that those of us that might've not hit the tier we wanted can get a second chance at obtaining the package we want?

<@&257269635559194625> What about cross regions? I live in California so I will mostly be playing on NA. But I have a lot of friends in Europe. Can you change regions on the same account but separate characters for that region. Or have to buy a completely new account for it? Then what about backer statuses affecting cross regions?

crystal beacon May 14, 2017, 12:00 AM

@grim rover There will be no region locks

<@&257269635559194625> Thanks for the Info! I'm also curious about the Caravan system. I can't help but think of how players might get around it. How much can a person really carry. To ferry 1000 iron ore to another node. You would buy a caravan....or could you just hire 10 trusted friends to help carry it. This eliminating the "everyone knows about it" event that takes place.

ornate ember May 14, 2017, 12:08 AM

#

<@&257269635559194625> How "hard" have you decided to go for the tab target combat system?
As a long time MMORPGer that currently plays BDO which is all about the combat an tab target system feels outdated and fits into the late 90s. Would you be willing to change the combat system depending on what the community wants?

crystal beacon May 14, 2017, 12:11 AM

<@&257269635559194625> hello sirs, the pheonix intitave area is grind ? or sit talk GM? i curious, thx sirs

#

<@&257269635559194625> will the 1k KS items stack? Me and a guildee both want to get this package, but it is pointless if we can't use 20 guild capes etc..

<@&257269635559194625>
Hey Steven! Is it possible that we get more info on the Phoenix Initiative? On the stream you said the Phoenix initiative is where we can find the GMs doing their daily activities and on the kick starter it says it offers everything the real world does But does this mean we can go here and grind,quest etc etc. Will this just be an upside down world or merely a place where we can have tea parties?

heavy steeple May 14, 2017, 12:22 AM

#

@ornate ember It isnt going to be True tab target. Its going to be a mix between Tab target and action combat. Dont see it as a Tab target game, rather, look at it as a Action combat with tab target stuff in it.

ornate ember May 14, 2017, 12:25 AM

#

@heavy steeple Thanks alot for the answer. Do we have any example of what they are going for? or is it to early in the game development to say? Like is it compareable to any other game that is currently out there or are they going for a new invention?
Combat maketh the game for me. 😉

heavy steeple May 14, 2017, 12:31 AM

#

@ornate ember The developers have done some streams for the game, which you could check out on their twitch;https://m.twitch.tv/ashesofcreation?desktop-redirect=true but if the videos of combat aren't there, just ask people of the community if there are some videos of the gameplay. Anyways, if the combat doesnt seem to be your style, the devs are thinking of implementing true tab target and true action combat as a combat style you could play as, as an option.

lucid tinsel May 14, 2017, 12:55 AM

#

<@&257269635559194625> after watching the new predator trailer I was wondering if the falcon in the beginning was just for cinematic effect or if it was a pet for the predator with some sort of role wether it be utility or combat. If so I was wondering if this meant that those with the ranger class or ranger secondary class would have the ability to have pets with a role in combat. Thanks.

<@&257269635559194625> Could it be possible for you guys to make a 3D modeling client for the players to use to make custom armor and weapons, and to also make custom special effects for custom spells and magic weapons? It would be similar to how Planetside2 has their “Player Studio”.

#

<@&257269635559194625> I know that you guys are going to have Proximity Voice chat, but will you have a mystical radio/comms system for raids? it would be similar to what Planetside2 has.

<@&257269635559194625> hello Kazykilla here, im so very glad to have found your game before beta and alphas hit and proudly backed your game. i even got it for my bestfriend and we are very excite for alpha phase 2! but i have a huge question that worries me a tad bit. so when you begin the game and everything is new just formed a barren land ready to be built upon. how do i sell scrap items before a node levels, like items from junk mobs that have no meaning but to sell? Also how is your banking system or warhouse going to work as well before node progression? and if you simply cannot bank until node progression then i can live with that but for how long? in witch case will i not be able to sell or bank for the first month???? because this would cause me to smash my face into my monitor many times as i cry for the lost sword that i couldn't bank and wanted to sell for outragous prices for no reason?

<@&257269635559194625> The racial skin changes your visual race to a herald of light or darkness. The demonic and angelic beings you become, will have their own cosmetics and armor appearances. This could be read one of two ways, does it mean that for example the 'angelic being' is the same skin no matter the race you picked or will each race have a variation of the skin?

idle siren May 14, 2017, 3:40 AM

@winged lava Same skin, no matter the race

<@&257269635559194625> Is it possible that we'll see sort of "Server journalists" that could keep a track of the story of the server
Another thing, if the above is a yes, would there be server news companys, such as a group of journalists that keep a track of the servers sieges and advertise for something like a siege that will happen the next week. Or another group that keeps a track of prices for something such as rare crafting materials that could vary from one node to another?

idle siren May 14, 2017, 3:43 AM

#

@thick lagoon the statues are placed in the starting areas. For all to see. Permanent in the world. The custom freehold does not come with land (nopay2win) it is a custom design you will need to build, but will be your unique design 😃

@wet lodge Yes

@timber dove Yes. And yes

@stark spindle They will be open world

@ashen solar Existing staff and we made sure to only include stretch goals that we can achieve within our delivery date. And just in case we don't (which we will) we won't delay the release of the game.

I'd like to play with my friends from the get-go but I don't want to try and shoehorn the same races into all of our choices, especially if it will affect our stats. Maybe some kind of system like a default portal for a race, but an option to select a different one?

junior flint May 14, 2017, 8:04 AM

#

@idle siren & <@&257269635559194625> . @wraith ember asked a very important and interesting question. How many guilds will we able to join per character? Or will it be possible that guild I joined will be applicable to all my characters in the account ? I come from GW2 , and I believe their guild system are not too shabby.

quaint badger May 14, 2017, 8:08 AM

#

@junior flint 1 guild per character theirs no multiple guilds on one character

junior flint May 14, 2017, 8:09 AM

#

@quaint badger oh thanks. Kinda weird thou. What if let's say I want to join a guild that specialised in PvE & another in PvP. That would be a problem there..

junior quarry May 14, 2017, 8:24 AM

#

<@&257269635559194625> Access to monthly Live Q&A sessions with the Devs what this entail on the 2500$ pledge ? can u go into detail pls ?:) thank you very much

wraith ember May 14, 2017, 8:35 AM

#

@junior flint @quaint badger the reason i asked for multiple guilds is indeed for different content, PVE/PVP/economy. Unless they design the game in such a way that it is not needed to join multiple guilds for each interest. In elder scrolls online we had 5 guild slots, and 8 char slots, every char was in those 5 guilds. Maybe thats a better system then joining a guild with every character, makes it too complicated?

crystal beacon May 14, 2017, 8:37 AM

#

<@&257269635559194625> The game will be located in Europe? If yes : How many server will be open ? They will be fully translated ?

quaint badger May 14, 2017, 8:39 AM

#

@junior flint @wraith ember their wont be just pvp gear so all guilds will be pretty much doing some pvp stuff especially with the caravan system

#

@wraith ember @junior flint check out the #aoc-guild-recruitment text chat

wraith ember May 14, 2017, 8:49 AM

#

@quaint badger what should i see in guild recruitment chat about this? I see only announcements of guilds 😃

quaint badger May 14, 2017, 8:58 AM

#

@wraith ember some of the guilds will post if their pvp/pve or both really

junior flint May 14, 2017, 8:59 AM

#

@wraith ember agree. @quaint badger , you don't get our point here. What if we want to join this so awesome guild in pvp but also need a pve guild to do those pve things.

quaint badger May 14, 2017, 9:02 AM

#

I guess your kinda screwed lol , however guilds can team up with other guilds like make an alliance. I don't know if they put like a guild chat to communitcate with each other

junior flint May 14, 2017, 9:03 AM

#

I know we can just join a PvX guild for this but it's like specialisation. Since this game say their guild upgrades will be different according to the direction of the guild. That's why I believe we should have an option . I.E: this guild upgrades are for pve buffs and events etc, but the pvp guild might upgrade for large scale combats , or additional defends while being sieged.

#

@quaint badger I don't think we're screwed as why we are asking <@&257269635559194625> . I believe since their making their guild system that way, there must be a solution for this

#

Like you said alliance. Maybe a pve guild can support a pvp guild as both of them want to defend the nodes. Etc..

quaint badger May 14, 2017, 9:06 AM

@wraith ember @junior flint They mentioned this in a live stream with Doc Got Game, youu can only join 1 guild because being able to join multiple guilds will cause people to be unactive in those other guilds, like they joined them for specific bonuses and that's it, which is why they went for 1 guild only, however different characters can join different guilds, its not account locked

unless it's an @question/answer

junior flint May 14, 2017, 9:10 AM

#

@lone nimbus it's a question + follow discussion while waiting an answer.

lone nimbus May 14, 2017, 9:10 AM

#

ah my bad, your conversation is pretty much that, ignore me xD

#

ya true, i was sort of asked not to do that for pretty much the same thing though :p

#

but anyway you do you :p

heavy steeple May 14, 2017, 9:13 AM

#

No convos here, thanksssss 😄

junior flint May 14, 2017, 9:14 AM

#

@rapid swallow I know they mention that but there hasn't be a clear answer. Because they make their guild upgrades so diverse on how their guild aims to be. It's hard to pve & pvp at the same time. I backed this kickstarter because Me and my guild love siege wars and this game looks promising. But I would need to know in depth how is this gonna be played out. I'm also a Steven. Literally... guild play a large role for how are we gonna progress in the game.

#

@junior flint Players can join one server each character.

#

@crystal beacon There will be EU servers, but the amount of servers in EU has not been confirmed yet xP 😃

rapid swallow May 14, 2017, 9:16 AM

#

@junior flint basically from what i understood, any guild will be able to specialize in PvX because of how much the server needs both PvP and PvE, so im thinking they will all be required to do both one way or the other

heavy steeple May 14, 2017, 9:18 AM

#

@junior flint you can play on a PvE guild on one character while your other character can be in a PvP guild.

junior flint May 14, 2017, 9:19 AM

#

@heavy steeple what if I only want to focus gearing 1 char and pvp with it. ?

heavy steeple May 14, 2017, 9:20 AM

#

@junior flint Then join a PvP guild. If you want to do PvP and PvE join a PvX guild

junior flint May 14, 2017, 9:21 AM

#

@heavy steeple .... 😓

#

You don't read...

rapid swallow May 14, 2017, 9:22 AM

#

@junior flint Plus joining multiple guilds could cause problems if it is not node locked, because what if ur pvp guild attacks your other guild that is based in a different node, you will lose all your progress in that node

heavy steeple May 14, 2017, 9:22 AM

#

I dont understand the question

#

Anyways, move this to #280894494591942656 . This place is for questions and answers only

crystal beacon May 14, 2017, 9:23 AM

#

@heavy steeple Thank you for your answer. And the localisation (translate) on EU ?

heavy steeple May 14, 2017, 9:24 AM

#

@crystal beacon Sadly not sure about that. Soz

junior flint May 14, 2017, 9:24 AM

#

I.E - What if @idle siren making a super strong PvP guild and all the upgrades go for PvP only. And his guild is top in AoC. I would want to be in it of course right ? But they only pvp ? , and you @heavy steeple have a decent pve guild which upgrades go for pve cool stuff. I would like to join you for my pve life. What should I do then ?

rapid swallow May 14, 2017, 9:26 AM

#

@junior flint Watch the stream carefully they said exactly why they don't want to allow multiple guilds

junior flint May 14, 2017, 9:26 AM

#

@rapid swallow I guess I go rewatch it then <

heavy steeple May 14, 2017, 9:27 AM

#

@junior flint Then your screwed xD you cant join 2 guilds. #confirmed You just have to join one of them. (I suggest the PvP one, because PvP guilds sometimes do raids on mobs, but are really strong in PvP)

junior flint May 14, 2017, 9:29 AM

#

That's why .. rather then everyone saying I'm screwed. I hope for some answer from <@&257269635559194625> or @idle siren . Not just some rough answer that is not clear enough. 😜😜😜

#

I only ask this question because <@&257269635559194625> mention in their stream their guild upgrades are diverse. So I would like to know how to work around it.

heavy steeple May 14, 2017, 9:31 AM

#

@junior flint The full answer is NO. You cannot join 2 guilds with one character. That is pretty clear imo

junior flint May 14, 2017, 9:32 AM

#

Then @heavy steeple , I would like to know how to work around my desires. What they have in plan. Maybe like you said earlier. Choose 1 pvp guild. And to archive those pvp upgrades you need to pve also etc.

heavy steeple May 14, 2017, 9:34 AM

#

@junior flint That is up to the guild you join. Join a guild and they will be the ones to work around it.

junior flint May 14, 2017, 9:36 AM

#

Then I think. We shall make our own guild 🤔. Quote @idle siren - "if you want things done, do it yourself"

heavy steeple May 14, 2017, 9:36 AM

#

👌👌

rapid swallow May 14, 2017, 9:50 AM

#

<@&257269635559194625> Are you planning on adding a looting mechanic? Since you mentioned that you might have your pets be able to pick up items for you, will i be able to filter what kind of items the pet picks up? Because i think that would be nice ^^

lone nimbus May 14, 2017, 9:52 AM

#

@rapid swallow This doesn't answer your question really :p but a point to make is that Steven mentioned that you won't encounter crummy trash items like most mmorpgs!

heavy steeple May 14, 2017, 9:55 AM

#

All items should be something that is actually in need of importance

balmy wigeon May 14, 2017, 10:23 AM

#

Can we have multiple characters on the same server and if so can they share buildings?

junior quarry May 14, 2017, 10:26 AM

#

i think they are

rapid swallow May 14, 2017, 10:28 AM

#

@balmy wigeon you can have multiple characters in the same server, i'm not sure about the buildings part but i think they will otherwise it will be broken.

dreamy summit May 14, 2017, 10:39 AM

#

Asking again since no answer:
<@&257269635559194625> will the game have a way to see which path in the crafting trinity the people in a specific server go to? I dont want to start in production only to find out theres no one to gather or process the resources i need/too many weapon makers fighting for a small amount of processed goods or the other way around

uneven briar May 14, 2017, 11:07 AM

#

<@&257269635559194625> Question about faster travel between nodes or waypoints etc. If you have a transport system between point A and point B, will you be able to jump off of the mount at any point in the travel rather than having to wait to get to the final destination?

#

<@&257269635559194625> can you add a setting in game options to disable emojis showing up in chat

wide mountain May 14, 2017, 11:41 AM

#

@uneven briar I can't tell for sure, but developers said that there won't be any fast travel/transport system in the game. Only the flying dragons for the nodes' officials.

<@&257269635559194625> will there be a hard lvl cap like for example wow or is there a soft lvl cap like in black desert?
