@wide mountain i thought in one of the Q&A videos @idle siren mentioned that they were going to have a "faster" travel system (not fast travel).

rain sedge May 14, 2017, 12:05 PM

<@&257269635559194625> Will be be able to have a freehold and housing in a node?? Also is there a way to share a freehold e.g. if you were married? How easy/hard will it be to obtain a freehold and will there be a limit on how mnay can be placed in that nodes ZOI to prevent over crowding and ruining the landscape? Thanks

<@&257269635559194625> Will you localize the game to multiple languages since you are selfpublishing in the EU.

stuck tartan May 14, 2017, 12:26 PM

Im curious about the node design. If each node can look different depending on what race is most prevalent in its evolution and the node can develop into one of 4 types, does this mean each node has at least 16 possible designs (4 node types x 4 major races) for each stage? Not sure how many nodes exist, but i know it is more than 5, so thats 80 different designs for each stage. Is that 480 different designs for all stages for 5 nodes?

#

<@&257269635559194625> in the rogue video there is a summoned bow and what seems to be summoned arrows. 1. Will the bow be summoned or physical or a mix of both? 2. Will arrows be summoned or will rogues have to carry massive qty of arrows in their inventories?

Hey <@&257269635559194625> Will there be seasonal events in game, such as something like Christmas and such similar to the ways other games celebrate seasonal holidays?

noble canopy May 14, 2017, 12:56 PM

#

@hybrid forge Yes there will be seasonal events.

hybrid forge May 14, 2017, 12:57 PM

@noble canopy Cool, thanks for the heads up!

<@&257269635559194625>, wouldnt the game being monthly subscription be bad if it were to follow the months rather than the hours which WoW follows currently?

<@&257269635559194625> Will it be possible to get the angelic/demonic skins outside of the Leader of Men kickstarter package?

#

<@&257269635559194625> @idle siren Has stated that the only way to lose "Corruption" is through death, and the penalty for being Corrupt is losing worn equipment (your good stuff). THUS, doesn't that mean that Griefers will just run around murdering people, strip down and store their loot, then run naked into a mob to lose the Corruption?

plucky temple May 14, 2017, 1:23 PM

probably not since they are tagged "kickstarter exclusive" @crisp solar

void moth May 14, 2017, 1:37 PM

#

<@&257269635559194625> Will there be a way with the class system to transform your own character into something stronger/bigger? (context; say I wanna RP as a "Jötunn"/"Troll" from Norse mythology) .......(by changes I mean permanent/very long lasting alteration of character physiology, with for example sacrificing speed for size+strength)

@void moth you mean like "hulk out"?

<@&257269635559194625> @idle siren Will the sea in AoC act like a real sea ? aka waves that make you go up and down.

#

<@&257269635559194625> Will the games fortresses that are talked about in the 10k donation be perminate structers? if so will the player statues be there (I can't donate that im just curious)

quasi lion May 14, 2017, 2:17 PM

#

@crystal beacon Statues will be at the starting zone

crystal beacon May 14, 2017, 2:18 PM

thats cool too

#

@crystal beacon The fortress design will be used for guild fortresses that can be built and destroyed in game

shrewd marsh May 14, 2017, 2:25 PM

#

<@&257269635559194625> If one of your items reaches 0 durability, will it be destroyed? (If so, will there be "low durability" or "about to break" notifications?

crystal beacon May 14, 2017, 2:39 PM

#

@shrewd marsh There is a durability system, but it doesn't break permanently. You bring it to a crafter who can make your weapon (gotta make sure they can craft your weapon, otherwise they can't) and they can repair it.

versed ivy May 14, 2017, 2:39 PM

#

Since enhanced naval content is unlocked, does it mean possible seashore nodes like big ports (taking role in trading with another such ports by ships etc.)? Will it be possible for players to buy their own ships? Will the ships be split in types by purpose or will they be customizeable? Will it be possible for a ship captain to hire a crew of other players? Will there be a sailing-oriented profession branch (like navigation, carpentry, tackelage and such)?

crystal beacon May 14, 2017, 2:41 PM

#

@versed ivy There will be naval caravans and naval pvp.

unborn sable May 14, 2017, 2:42 PM

#

<@&257269635559194625> does weather seasons influence the materials you can gather in a particular region?

upbeat pilot May 14, 2017, 2:43 PM

#

@crude stream also you need that speical ressourced that the gear ir crafted, so u need a guy wo can craft it and than the right materials for it.

versed ivy May 14, 2017, 2:43 PM

#

@crystal beacon that would be cool, but didn't answer any of my questions

crystal beacon May 14, 2017, 2:45 PM

#

@unborn sable Yes season affect what's grown in that time of year and some zoness might me more valued for a type of material over another.

thank you @crystal beacon

#

<@&257269635559194625> mentioned that there will be cosmetic items in the cashshop. Will this be like FFXIV where we will be able to obtain them through limited time events in game and they be added to the cashshop when the event is finished? Or will those items only be able accesible through cashshop?

#

Also unicorn mounts? 😛 @idle siren

lucid tinsel May 14, 2017, 3:21 PM

#

<@&257269635559194625> I was curious about how looting a caravan will work. Do we get the resources that were in the caravan, need to find a buyer, and then use another caravan to transport it to the buyer or will we get a reward in the form of money when we loot it.

lofty blade May 14, 2017, 3:34 PM

#

<@&257269635559194625> Will there be a permadeath feuture for those who enjoys that on specefic servers?

rose breach May 14, 2017, 3:51 PM

@lofty blade No information atm, probably not but it depends on what steven wants

light helm May 14, 2017, 3:55 PM

#

<@&257269635559194625> will I be able to play on multiple regions with my one account? So, create a character on US as well as EU?

crystal beacon May 14, 2017, 3:58 PM

#

^ From what I understood from an answer like that was that, Yes and you don't need to sub again if you want to swap from EU to NA too.

still osprey May 14, 2017, 5:10 PM

#

<@&257269635559194625> 1: When changing sub-classes or crafts, does that mean that their previous class/craft progress get erased, or if you change back to it later, you will maintain some progress? 2: Will there be a limited amount of progress possible in mastering your class/craft to identify yourself as a single specialization, or can a craftsman master all forms of his craft "eventually"?

wise juniper May 14, 2017, 5:10 PM

#

<@&257269635559194625> How will this game be for the new player, casual player, your avarage player and pro players? How will it reward them with progression without feeling stuck/stalled/halted by the other? (Not talking about short term, but more long term)

lofty blade May 14, 2017, 5:12 PM

#

I kinda want to continue @wise juniper question on the experience for new players. How different will a new player who just joined a server experience the game compared to a vetran player who played the game for a long time and built it up to a high ranked node. Will it be more boring for the new player since they cant join the progression phase? <@&257269635559194625>

rose breach May 14, 2017, 5:23 PM

#

@still osprey You can only focus on "path" in your artisan class. like blacksmithing or alchemy etc.

upbeat pilot May 14, 2017, 5:26 PM

#

@lofty blade this is actually also a question who interests me, also think it would be a good idea starting new servers every month or so, that new players could join in a fresh area? <@&257269635559194625>

wary swift May 14, 2017, 5:28 PM

#

<@&257269635559194625> could you please give us any rough number of servers per region you guys are aiming for?

primal harbor May 14, 2017, 5:33 PM

#

<@&257269635559194625> This question has to do with servers as well, I was wondering if the servers would be labled. Say for example X server is a RP server, and Y server is a normal server so roleplayers have a easier time finding a server with other roleplayers on it.

flint barn May 14, 2017, 5:39 PM

#

@primal harbor I believe Steven has already said that he doesn't want to seperate the community like that, as (for example) roleplayers are a huge part of the immersion within the world

upbeat pilot May 14, 2017, 5:39 PM

#

@primal harbor they dont want to do pvp/pve servers, about rp i dont know, would be nice to know

queen garnet May 14, 2017, 5:39 PM

#

@primal harbor Steven mentioned in one of the streams I believe, servers will not be labeled like that. Exact motivation I don't accurately remember, something to do with not limiting who goes on which server and RP should have a place everywhere.

primal harbor May 14, 2017, 5:39 PM

#

Ah, kk and thank you!

placid leaf May 14, 2017, 5:47 PM

@hybrid forge I really hope they are in-game branded and more widespread. A month of Xmas slaughter when Hanukkah is actually a celebration of military victory makes me WTF every year.

forest pike May 14, 2017, 5:50 PM

I know it has been explained and answered multiple times but I wonder how nodes will actualy work?
When a node levels up
Who decides the location of the buildings that rise with advancement of that node?
If nodes structured honeycomb-like and player one advances one node and player two advances the neighbor node, will there be two separated nodes or they can agree on alliance with each other and merge?
If so, what happens to the village/town/city and buildings already exists in one or each of them?

Also, how quests will matter and effect on fate of the server?
How going one route will prevent other players go another?
If I get it right it is not individual driven lore but the common decision of players for example fight or flight the winter dragon.
If I want to fight and someone else decides to avoid it, which matters?
Does the dragon can be killed multiple times or once per season as an event?

As well, how looting mechanics will work?
Lets say a group slays the dragon, who gets the loot?
Will it be player bound with rng drop rate?
Crafting materials will be divided equally or related to damage done among players?

I'm sorry for being very specific but you probably understand we're eager for information since it's so exiting.
Sadly streams and podcasts questions are repetitive at this point.

I'm aware that probably those points aren't yet decided and under discussion or awaiting alpha/beta testing.
What I hope for is you to share those discussions and let us be part of those decisions as audience behind a glass watching the progress of a masterpiece being crafted.

Thanks for reading sandals

How long will crafting a quality Item take? Will you be able to finish it in a few seconds like in wow or something, or will crafting something be like in eve where building a good thing could take days?

placid leaf May 14, 2017, 6:03 PM

#

Good question! I hope there's a "game" to it (like Vanguard) so it takes a bit of doing to make each piece... rather than a loading bar and the same crap item every time.

pearl stratus May 14, 2017, 6:06 PM

#

@fringe blaze crafting will likely involve some sort of mini games (having buttons and options to turn and adjust to your liking), so there could be timers in between crafting steps, but that sounds like baking to me rather than making weapons (the latter part is speculation)

Please keep discussion to DMs or #aoc-discussion since #questions is meant only for asking the devs questions.

I unfortunately didn't know about Ashes of Creation till a bit late...So rip on saving money for a higher pledge. Will there be anymore earlybird chances to back (via another method) AoC aside from the current Kickstarter going on? I don't expect the same rewards, but a nice second shot would seem great!

alpine grotto May 14, 2017, 6:50 PM

What are the requirements to build a town when it's to low everybody has an own town, but when it's to high there are only such few that you don't really got a wide choice of the towns

hard dune May 14, 2017, 6:52 PM

#

@manic ocean I don't understand this early bird thing. If you want to support this project, support it, if you want so save money, dont support. There are still some early bird options available though. Catch'em all!

manic ocean May 14, 2017, 7:14 PM

#

@hard dune What I mean is before the game launches. Like not kickstarter. Another chance to support them w/ a reward.

crystal beacon May 14, 2017, 7:20 PM

#

@manic ocean Once kickstarter is over you wont have another chance to get the cosmetic items. On buying things after Kickstarter all we have to go by is this https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/310084272281354242/313351228086288386/Store_on_website_but_wont_include_ks_exclusives.PNG Plus keep this channel for asking questions and answering only. Go to PM or to one of the channels do continue a discussion thanks.

@verbal quiver Just checking up to see if you've had any luck with my question

dreamy summit May 14, 2017, 7:38 PM

#

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

tiny grove May 14, 2017, 7:41 PM

#

<@&257269635559194625> Could you make it so that if you get corruption your crafting time and level speed wil be greatly reduced?

viral cloak May 14, 2017, 7:50 PM

#

<@&257269635559194625> This is less of a question and more of a suggestion, but please do not input autorun. Autorun sure does make things easier for people, but it gets rid of the immersive feel that an MMORPG needs. World of Warcraft had a massive world, and no autorun feature; I'm not sure if any other games are without autorun, but I certainly recommend not inputing it. Making people run from one place to another is just a part of the game, and it makes things more immersive.

wintry egret May 14, 2017, 8:44 PM

#

<@&257269635559194625> not sure if this was mentioned yet but, Will the epic world bosses be a one time event per server? Or is it possible to trigger a similar event (different named dragon, etc) later on in the world development?

rapid swallow May 14, 2017, 8:56 PM

#

@wintry egret from what i understood from their Q and A the events are random and will happen multiple times, which is why they gave away plenty of tokens to use more than once ^^

green forge May 14, 2017, 8:57 PM

<@&257269635559194625> Will it be possible to up your pledge after the kickstarter? I can not afford as much as i want to withi 1 month

#

@green forge yes please <@&257269635559194625> , also have the same problem let us upgrade the package later in your own crowdfunding shop, the ks exlusive things we dont need but the upgrade vom alpha 2 to 1 or others.

cold brook May 14, 2017, 9:11 PM

#

<@&257269635559194625> Seeing as how the Kickstarter exclusive mounts (such as the Tidesnapper Water Mount) will be delivered to backers, how easy will it be to get a water-type mount or a mount in general if one is not a backer. Will mounts be locked until a specific level so backers won't just immediately gain a mobility edge etc?

upbeat pilot May 14, 2017, 9:27 PM

#

@crystal beacon dosnt see my question be answered, question is if we can in the intrepid own store, upgrade our packages, without the ks exclusive costumes.

proud drum May 14, 2017, 9:31 PM

#

@upbeat pilot We don't know if there will be a way to upgrade your KS even after KS has ended.

west vigil May 14, 2017, 9:33 PM

#

<@&257269635559194625> A side effect of having tradeable gear is that it could make a game that favors players who gain currency through illegitimate methods such as real world trading. What sort of preventative measures will you have in place to make sure that players aren't simply buying endgame gear to gain an advantage over other players who have actually put time and effort into gearing themselves?

floral jetty May 14, 2017, 9:45 PM

<@&257269635559194625> you demonstrated climbing in one of your videos will this be available to all classes or just characters that picked rogue?

#

<@&257269635559194625> - I know that the node progression will be turned off during the headstart for kickstarter backers, but what does this mean exactly? Will players have access to crafting, gathering, and questing during this time or will you only be able to explore the world? What can a player actually do during the headstart?

<@&257269635559194625> As you said before each species and or race will have a different feel even to the point of different augments to your build and abilities. As different types of species naturally have different bodies may it be possible that the have different eyesights? I would love to see everything in a slight different colorway as an Orc as opposed to hopefully an Underling. If that eyesight might even affect things like night vision or if that would be to unfair would be up for discussion at this point but just imagine some races would naturally come to prefer certain colors because of how the perceive the spectrum of light. (yes I am hyped too)

<@&257269635559194625> What influences have Planetside 2 had on mechanics such as your node system? Every time I see your game, it reminds me of the scale and conquest like systems in planetside. I also see that you have a few devs from daybreak. How similar will the two games be, aside from the obvious differences of a classic mmorpg vs the multi genre mmofpsrpgrts that planetside is

Someone please PM or message me if this has been answered. <@&257269635559194625> Will the camera be controlled by moving the mouse or by holding down the mouse button? In hopes of having an option for both, I find holding the mouse button to move the camera very uncomfortable to use and also inconvenient as mouse buttons should be used to commonly used abilities.

@floral lance yes you will be able to lvl up and quest etc, you simply won't be able to progress in nodes so that non KS players won't have the advantage in buying houses early, everyone can have their turns

<@&257269635559194625> Based on the freeholds, will we be able to design them e.g japanese style or will it be full medieval type of theme. As well as making tourism in-game a weird thing 😄 and also will we be able to change hairstyles, cosmetics such as make up etc (if have said craftable item) as well as dying hair (craftable item or microtransaction item) without microtransaction

proud drum May 15, 2017, 9:03 AM

#

@covert ermine Most likely because people have been canceling their pledges to either upgrade/downgrade their pledge, this would cause them to have backed Twice or more, making your backer number seem off i would suppose.

<@&257269635559194625> So... Read all of this before judging it... Will there be breast sliders on female characters.

Hold the torches and pitchforks, anyone who was grabbing them, I want to mention, I think adding this as an option would promote more modestly proportioned female characters, since, every MMO I've played which does not have this as an option, if you were to add a slider to these games, the default model would, most of the time, fall in the top 75%, at least, and often the top 90. (The mage from your mage video would be at about 90, for example)

<@&257269635559194625> How do you, Intrepid Studios, view the failures of previous or current crowdfunded games? What do you take from their reviews and stories? More importantly, what is learned from successes like Star Citizen? $140 million dollars, but has been delayed numerous times and has employees leaking unfavorable details of the game's developement?

<@&257269635559194625> Would you guys be willing to implement a client, separate from the game, that the player could use to create an AoC-like object (i.e. models, animations, textures, NPCs)? Additionally, providing a feature that allows them to upload the content to the community where it can be subjected to a(n) approval/disapproval filter. Lastly, Intrepid Studios could browse popular content that (based on their discretion) could be modified and integrated into the game. Offtopic

<@&257269635559194625> The couruption penelties for for attacking none flagged players kick in at what point? Is it after the initial conflict is resolved or at the point the attack is made giving the unprepaired defender a chance to win the inital attack despite the disadvantage of being unprepaired for the gank. I personally think it would be far more of a deterent than a penelty that occurs once the attacker has already succedded in the initial attack.

You guys mentioned that each node will be pre-determined. I.e a node is destined to become economic, scientific etc. Will a player be able to know before investing time into a node which type it is?

timid relic May 15, 2017, 2:02 PM

So I've just watch the Q&A that was done with TheLazyPeon and I was thinking about the nodes and how it was said that different servers will have different narratives and such, would it ever be possible for a server to become and empire so to speak? And if so would there then be possibilities for that "Empire" to send something like negotiators to another server to make alliances or even cross-server wars? To expand the empire for example?

rigid monolith May 15, 2017, 2:03 PM

#

@timid relic No, there won't be cross-server play as you describe. Not sure what exactly "empire" means, but it's possible to gather tons of power and, if you're really far reaching, multiple high-level nodes on a single server.

<@&257269635559194625> , I understand Steven wants to keep the game lore unknown until release. My concern is that people or guilds that want to give their own rich lore a go, how are they supposed to without a general based to go off of? Nothing irks these kind of players more than making something off the top of their head only for it to have to be completely scrapped once the actual lore is discovered at release, years from now. Can we PLEASE get a base lore? What cause the first extinction? How are we now magically back in the world? What was civilization like before? Was it advanced? Was it your traditional fantasy type of civilization advancement? I and many others feel we need at least a base lore of some sort to effectively deliver a solid backstory on our guilds and characters to a degree. Mainly because I plan on starting a guild and I don't like to do that and not have anything rich in lore for my guild members to also go off of in developing their own characters.

<@&257269635559194625> I've Wanted to have this question Answered for a while, While i know you can devote your housing options within a node's influence to things such as production or something, What I would really like to know is if you build a house. Lets say its a small house but its yours. You are proud of it you crafted a Chair, Dresser, Bed, rug...etc What I want to make sure of is if this stuff we make in these player houses will they be static like a Doll house? Will I be able to Interact with say a Chair. Will I be able to sit in that chair? If So can i have multiple ways of doing that? I wouldn't want us to make like 100 poses for each object in a house but having the option of interacting with that house that you put time and effort to besides it looking nice would be the reason i decide to make furniture. I am sure we have all played an MMO where the only reason we have housing and furniture is for it to look nice.

#

<@&257269635559194625> You've mentioned that crafting will use dials to increase diversity of gear and weapons in AoE, My question is will those dials be a point based "you have X amount of points to spend and you choose where to put them using the dials", OR will it be a system where (for example) If your making a sword there will be a dial for the thickness of the sword, and the thinner you make the sword the faster it's speed but due to the thinness it has less durability and needs repair more often as well as doing less damage due to weighing less. Another dial might be for sword length which affects reach but lowers attack speed, and as you level up in sword crafting you might unlock a new dial that lets you make the core of the sword from a light, soft material (which would make the weapon hold less of an edge normally) but make the edges of a harder, heavier material so that the sword does more damage while still being lighter increasing speed.? (sorry it's not in a very questiony format.)

@edgy meadow A good example is by starting a siege war. If a player starts a siege war, they will be the cause of disabled quests, lost homes of other players, node de-levelling, routes closed, ect ect. Similar outcomes to letting a world boss loose.

Ashes really seems like a game I could play for years - which brings me to my question. How will Ashes battle the content redundancy we see in so many other MMOs? Four years and two expansions from launch, how do you plan to keep older content, crafting materials and events still relevant in the game? What is your strategy to keep the ingame economy healthy in the long run?

<@&257269635559194625> Hello Intrepid, I have a very important question: You mentioned that you can have a main class, and choose a "2nd class" ontop of your main class later on. What if for example (in my case) you choose Tank main. And also Tank 2nd as class. WIll you be the ultimate tank with CC / taunts / stuns etc? But also: Wont this choice of the player make the character lack damage really bad? WIll i still be able to do decent damage?

subtle bluff May 16, 2017, 9:52 AM

#

@wind sail Choosing the same 2nd class will make you double down on what you're already good at. In theory, it should make you into an unmovable object

#

While choosing something else still makes you a tank, but using différent means or tools to achieve that tanking goal

wind sail May 16, 2017, 9:54 AM

#

Hmm alright, im just afraid that i'll be doing 0 damage to other players while choosing double tank :X Thats why im curious what the answer for this was haha

<@&257269635559194625> Hi, I would like to ask about the Tank class - is the name of the class final or some changes will be made? I am sorry if this question has been asked before, but if you could answer or point me to the forum discussion thread, would be nice. The thing is, a tank is more like a role name than a class for a fantasy mmorpg. Something like Guardian would sound way better and more fitting imo. Thanks.

<@&257269635559194625> So... Read all of this before judging it... Will there be breast sliders on female characters.

Hold the torches and pitchforks, anyone who was grabbing them, I want to mention, I think adding this as an option would promote more modestly proportioned female characters, since, every MMO I've played which does not have this as an option, if you were to add a slider to these games, the default model would, most of the time, fall in the top 75%, at least, and often the top 90. (The mage from your mage video would be at about 90, for example)

<@&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)

<@&257269635559194625> Can the game stay in the black on subscriptions alone or is the games survival dependant on cash shop sales ?

upbeat pilot May 16, 2017, 10:46 AM

#

@mild bear i think its difficult so say that, because its important for them where is the break-even, i mean you first need to know how many people will have that subscription, if there is maybe 1000 it wont be enough, also to pay the money back on the investments, when there will be much more, sure i think it should be possible. So i think you wont get a good answer on this topic bc its really related to player numbers and active players and stuff

mild bear May 16, 2017, 10:47 AM

#

@upbeat pilot If you know the spend/head and the system is scalable, you can easily work out if the game can sustain itself on *subscriptions alone.

pliant lotus May 16, 2017, 11:15 AM

#

<@&257269635559194625> Decay, IMHO, is loss of durability over time. It has been mentioned that items will have decay, but my question is: is the decay tied to the play time or overall server time? I mean, if I stop playing for 6 months and come back afterwards, will my gear, armor and consumables have disappeared or will they have their durability frozen over that time? As an example, I can see why an apple would have decay in my inventory, but not why an iron ore would slowly disappear within it.

wind sail May 16, 2017, 11:22 AM

#

@pliant lotus Most likely it will be tied with usage / monsters killed with that specific weapon. Armor will decay with the number of damage you took is my guess.
So weapons > how much time in contact with monsters / monsters killed
So armor > how much contact with monsters / damage taken from monsters

If you dont use your gear, why would it dissappear over a few months? 😄

marble mountain May 16, 2017, 11:32 AM

#

<@&257269635559194625> hey, i have watched some streams and have seen quite some Q/A. I joined the discord quite recently though so im not sure if this was asked before but anyway.

You menntioned that in metropolis there will be certain kind of leaders, chosen in different ways. I have played a similar kind of mmo and in the later stages the lead role of the city was kind of taken over by a big guild that had a full control over it. And even if the leader would step down it would all already be arranged for the next person to overtake. How will you prevent people from doing such thing. Another question I have is, since the game is heavily reliant on community, how will you ensure that community wont ruin the game with certain actions or abusing certain mechanics. For example you said that when it comes to metropolis siege, for a while that metropolis will be unable to be sieged again. What if two nodes make an agreement to siege eachother just for the purpose of that and make kind of unofficial alliance?.

I apologise if my english was incorrect anywhere.

upbeat pilot May 16, 2017, 11:50 AM

#

@marble mountain dont have an answer for everything but for the alliance siege for cooldown they say its so expansive and it take a lot of effort to initiate a siege that this wont happen.

#

And, for the guild and leaders, i think they said something about a democratic votes, so yeah if your guild is that big they would maybe deserve it, and would initate some intrigues maybe? But i think they should have an answer for this 😒

@woven canyon
**How is the combat going to be? **
Well, the combat is going to be a combination of targeting method and positional mechanics that will dictate and determine the ability of skills to land and the efficacy of those skills.I think really we are going for a proprietary blend of targeting and action, that might not have been seen before.

crystal beacon May 16, 2017, 12:45 PM

@remote mica I believe that the sea content currently is aimed as post launch content, as it was introduced as a stretch goal of the KS. Perhaps that question is somewhat early on to be asking about

Yeah, they've said it'll be there on launch day if they can fit it in. (Which they're confident they can.) If it doesn't end up happening within their timeline, though, they'd implement it in after.

<@&257269635559194625> I saw the gameplay and noticed the cape of the player flying wildly when starting to move. Would you consider making movement acceleration-based, work around it some other way or let the cape swing wildly when moving? Loved the tour of the town 😃

NOTICE ME SENPAI'S
<@&257269635559194625> will the game have a way to see which path in the crafting trinity the people in a specific server go to?

@gritty kernel you dont get any type of corruption from pvp in events. The corruption gain only happens from the pk flag system atm

#

<@&257269635559194625> In watching your Q&A videos, I noticed @idle siren references a number of "game systems" (such as: nodes, trade, caravans, crafting, gathering, pve progression, pvp, sieges, dual classes, free holds), how do you plan to introduce the player to all of these systems, so that they are not overwhelmed? [First impressions can be everything]

I saw somewhere that its possible to gain weight and there are some buff/debuff that comes with being fit or not does that mean players are required to eat food and not just live off potions, like a hunger system? <@&257269635559194625>

crystal beacon May 16, 2017, 3:40 PM

#

@devout remnant looking fit or fat is a cosmetic option when you create your charater(still have little detail on that). Carry weight will affect your momement speed plus wearing plate armour compared to a rogue in leather. Hope that helps

devout remnant May 16, 2017, 3:41 PM

Speaking of AH do we know for sure if there is an Auction House system like in WoW, AA, BDO or everything you can buy is via trade from the towns market place.Since i believe players rent stall that means you dont always have acces to everything.

@devout remnant @crystal beacon on the marketplaces in towns will be "billboards" where everything can be found. If you want to buy something you still have to go to the certain store

coarse geyser May 16, 2017, 4:08 PM

#

@sand crown Is this gonne encourage people to spam "WTS xyz" in chat, since there isnt a dedicated AH for people to list their items server wide?

#

I'm sure there will end up being an AH channel for that stuff

sand crown May 16, 2017, 5:22 PM

@coarse geyser I doubt that they will implement server wide chat exactly because of that reason to "force" use the caravans and so on

mystic marsh May 16, 2017, 5:45 PM

#

@fast grotto regarding freeholds, I know that the freehold won't need to be rebuilt if it's destroyed via sieges and that there's a template saved "to a player" so to speak so they can rebuild elsewhere, but if I person doesn't like the direction their node is going with regards to progression or leadership can they uproot their freehold and reestablish it in another lvl nodes zoi?

#

I mean honestly it would kind of suck if you put in all the work into a freehold and it's node is poorly managed and you're getting taxed into oblivion and you're just stuck waiting to have the node sacked and your freehold destroyed in order to move it

<@&257269635559194625> this might get a bit long. U see I have a sister who is 7yrs younger than me(teen) . I bring her every game I play and every series I watch even 13 reasons why. . See I tried MMOs 1-2 years back just because I was curious. And long story short. Every MMO out there is about either short bursts of story followed by hollow button mashing quests just to keep players............ or they are about grind getting so tough u have to pay up .. either with money or life. So here is the main point. I might never give my sister an MMO to play. Wht is going to make u so different .. cause for most MMOs design sucks and people are just assholes who want button mashing bots to help them to their next shiny item .......... be different

@muted ore how are my questions so different from all the other ones?

nova panther May 16, 2017, 7:21 PM

#

<@&257269635559194625> @idle siren Will there be a system in place to prevent PKs from exploiting loopholes to repeatedly kill and grief other players. For example... will Player A who wish to repeatedly gank and kill Player B, simply be able to exploit the guild war system by having his guild declare war on Player B's guild to repeatedly kill and grief him without penalty? Further to this, what will prevent PK guilds from simply going on a rampage and have some of their fellow guild members alts (which may not be in the guild) kill them to remove the corruption and ensure that any gear drops gets returned? Ppl who intend to grief and gank new players will surely have a coordinated / organized group capable of doing this to circumvent the penalties of being killed by a bounty hunter while corrupt.

neat thorn May 16, 2017, 7:35 PM

#

Deathpenalties? How will they be? I mean will they be different for pve and pvp, will they be harsh, will they be reasonable or will they be stupid? Will they be different if you jump someone or if you get jumped? Anyone know? :x

rustic river May 16, 2017, 7:36 PM

#

@nova panther how about any gear that drops from corrupted becomes BOP

subtle bluff May 16, 2017, 7:36 PM

#

@neat thorn Most likely identical for PvE and PvP

#

If you're corrupted, death penalties are higher

drifting glacier May 16, 2017, 7:59 PM

@neat thorn this was all covered in the last Twitch stream. You can find it in #old-community-media. Nothing 100% in stone but they have a clear direction on where they want to go.

Ok question #1 is there going to be fishing ? Question #2 will you please make fishing as good or better than the fishing in Archeage alpha ? I do apologize for bring up that game but there is nothing to compare decent in game fishing to :-( Question #3 If there is fishing will it have actual relevance in the in game world instead of being completely useless, like being used for food and crafting and bait for bigger fish ? Thank you for your answers. :-)

nimble wave May 16, 2017, 8:19 PM

@split jewel
Question 1: Yes, not only is there going to be fishing, Steven said its going to be overpowered, as a joke to tell everyone how much detail they're putting into it, since they are fishing entusiasts themselves
Question 2: Same as before.

#

they have said that console version is not an immediate plan @novel ice

dull juniper May 16, 2017, 8:52 PM

#

@tribal grotto The nodes themselves seem to revolve around PVE content. For example the dragon that is unleashed when a certain node progresses, they have stated that the dragon will be a world boss or raid that will take a large server effort to overcome. Almost all node advancement appears to be PVE centric (conversely, all node destruction appears to be PVP centric)

muted ore May 16, 2017, 8:58 PM

#

@tribal grotto @dull juniper that dragon you spoke of just recently also has the ability to attack the node as stated in the video, so node destruction can also be PvE centric

tribal grotto May 16, 2017, 8:59 PM

#

@dull juniper thats not the PvE content that i mean, i know they have said that they dont like the word "endgame", but thats what im looking forward to, the real challenges, i expect the "world bosses" to be a huge HP sponge that just needs tons of ppl to take it down

cool. was hoping on node citys would have uniqe looks

#

@muted ore do you also know what happens whit freeholds in a node that get destroyed

muted ore May 16, 2017, 9:09 PM

#

@ember egret Freeholds with a Nodes Area of Influence will be open to attack by other players if a node is successfully sieged, it doesn't mean it will be destroyed but it's open for destruction

If you have more questions I can help in #community_helpdesk or #aoc-discussion

dull juniper May 16, 2017, 9:10 PM

#

@tribal grotto They addressed that in one of the Q&A sessions. They are focusing on mechanics to take down the boss, not hp sponges. They are aware that system doesn't work (i.e. GW2 if you get enough people you can defeat it). They indicated that more people will not help (may make it harder because coordinating more people on mechanics)

tribal grotto May 16, 2017, 9:14 PM

#

@dull juniper and then what you gonna get from it, i mean i care about a pve content as well as i get anything from it, i yeah, i know defending the nodes is important cause the nodes unlock most of the content. What i mean if there is gonna be some progression PvE which doesnt fall off every 3 months and all the items that we got from previous raids/dungeons will be nothing thanks to item level (which we still dont know if will exist in AoC)

torpid rover May 16, 2017, 9:37 PM

#

<@&257269635559194625> Will there be any static dungeons / raids? As level/ skill progresses will enemies scale? Underwater adventure- will players have a special device for breathing? How will combat differ in the water? Can i place a Freehold underwater? Is loot personal or is it all rolled for? And if so how will this work with multiple groups attacking the same world boss? If i am flagged for PvP and i go into a Raid will there be friendly fire?

#

It was stated in a previous stream that a player loses "power" if attacking the same player over and over. So how does respawning going to work return to corpse or rez at a shrine? if rez at shrine option is taken is there a penalty? Of course if this is even an option. If I place a Freehold at one node and decide to go to a differebt node for exploration and end up gathering there how is this handled? How often do I have to return to my Freehold or home? Bag space limit based on weight what of gathering professions how accessable are the off load places to deliver the goods to? Will this hamper exploration? If I am gathering and i run into an event my bags are almost full do i have to dump them if i want loot? Are events a one time shot or are there cooldowns if i missed an event but really wanted to do it?

<@&257269635559194625> One of the biggest issues I have had with trying to get into a couple of games (Black Desert Online in particular, as well as a card game I can't fully recall) is that the UI, with its scale, constant changing, and tons of information to juggle, give me a massive headache before I can even really try and enjoy the actual games' mechanics. How do you intend to manage the complexity of information presented in UI? Are you going to be prioritizing dynamic, changing elements, or one set of elements that provide the information needed? Minimalist UI, balance, or displaying as much as possible for optimal play?

You've stated that stealing from players won't be implemented, are there current mmos with thieving mechancis that you're grabbing inspiration from? Does having a thieves guild also come with having other players potentially becoming guards to fight and arrest thieves? Will there be heists, smuggling, a stealth mechanic beyond just the invisible active ability from the rogue?

any news on endgame? Me along with a large chunk of the player base of other games are pretty tired of being forced to log on at a set time to raid in order to participate in the end game. Edit: Just to clarify, by "end game" I mean paths to obtain the best gear in the game. Such as difficult world bosses that don't need a schedualed raid or the like.

<@&257269635559194625> How will you keep the commodities market constantly flowing/changing? Will high level crafting still need low level resources so low level commodites do not become redundant?

<@&257269635559194625> can you have citizenship of more then one node at a time? And can I become a citizenship of one node, while my guild controls another node?

nimble wave May 17, 2017, 6:29 AM

#

@umbral snow You can be a citizen of only ONE node.
http://i.imgur.com/RTjiYgo.png
however, you may own facillities in diffrent nodes

Imgur

#

@umbral snow To further elaborate on your 2nd point,
a guild cant "own" a node, if the question is, weather you can becomee a citizen if all your guildies are citizens in diffrent node, then yes, ofcourse.
there is no limitaion on where you could be a citizen of, if there are room for you to house, and you pay the tax.

#

<@&257269635559194625> How do you plan to make dungeons/raids competitive without having a dps meter implemented? I understand that toxicity and drama is created from dps meters, however the blame game could also start without it, not only that but it would be hard to self progress on rotation optimization etc

glacial nimbus May 17, 2017, 8:53 AM

#

@valid sierra I asked this question before and i got an answer that there would an active system through the dungeon or raid to compare ppl performance while the event is going on , can any one confirm this please ?? Or did you change your mind about it ?? I don't mean ladder board to make things clear what i mean is an active system monitoring the ppl dps while they are doing the dungeon or the raid

<@&257269635559194625> does the game is only for western audiences? is there no IP block like other mmo? cause im from eastern side..

No IP block

obsidian fractal May 17, 2017, 9:16 AM

@naive vector for now EU/NA/OCE servers are confirmed, and no IP block on any servers, since Intrepid as the Dev will publish the game themselves as well

queen garnet May 17, 2017, 9:16 AM

#

@glacial nimbus they have outspoken against dps meters on stream. They didn't neccesarily hate it in other games, but they want to take out the 'you need to be this pro to join us and we measure it by this one measurement' (not an actual quote from them). As a top performer on dps meters for games I played, I think this makes sense seeing as the emphasis on alot of util cannot be measured in dps.

upbeat pilot May 17, 2017, 9:21 AM

#

@queen garnet Also most modern Actiom Combat systems or also thix mixture with tab targeting, dosnt need a DPS meter, its not all about DPS, i think your utility skills, your smart usage of your Class and avoiding dmg and good movement will matter, and not who has the most DPS and skilled as PURE DPS and just hits the buttons 1-10.

<@&257269635559194625> Whats the currency for kickstarter?

lament wing May 17, 2017, 9:35 AM

#

If some stretch goals are not reached from the kickstarter, will they be added on later?

valid sierra May 17, 2017, 9:37 AM

#

The way I see dps meters is the first main requirement when it comes to being in the top end guilds yes there are always people who do good dps however can't do utility or movement. For example not being able to see the amount of healing output or the interrupts in a fight to see who isn't doing there job in a raid.

upbeat pilot May 17, 2017, 9:44 AM

#

@valid sierra Not the best channel to discuss maybe we should move when talking more about it. I think in top tier guilds a one person DPS will not really matter, the movement as A team in HUGE GvG and Sieges will matter, the right zerging technique and group composition etc. In most modern MMO like ESO, BDO and all that thing its not really that important if u do 10'000 or 12'000 DPS or something, since WoW i havent played a mmo, also gw2 and stuff that the DPS is that important for the people.Also for small dungeons it maybe make a bigger diffrence, and maybe in small battleground but not in Huge GVG, and all the stuff AoC offers

@lament wing all KS achieved goals will be implemented. They will not allow the KS goals reached hinder the release date. They feel as though they will be able to achieve those goals by launch, but if not they will be released after launch.

#

@eager badge I'm correcting myself. As I am in the US, I see the currency as USD, you will know by the currency symbol next to the objective KS goal, if it is a $ then most likely USD, if a £ etc..

upbeat pilot May 17, 2017, 9:54 AM

#

@eager badge Its alway in $ i think. im in switzerland we got special currency, but usually it shows Euro, but it shows on KS $ and i didnt see any menue to change that. but im happy bc USD are cheap 😛

@upbeat pilot Good to know for future questions, thanks!

crystal beacon May 17, 2017, 11:15 AM

#

How will the support/healer role will be made interesting? I am often interested in playing such but the fact that I spend more time looking at the UI to check my teams health bars to heal the right person than anything else has made the role quite dull.

worthy shard May 17, 2017, 11:40 AM

#

Will there be a function where a Metropolis can have their own currency?

upbeat pilot May 17, 2017, 11:41 AM

#

@crystal beacon Yes would be nice if you can manage the UI like you could make the Lifebar over the head of the chars u need to heal, bc just pressing und the left icons of healthbars of the group is not that funny. Would be really nice to know how this is gonna to be, you have an idea how you imagine that?

graceful basalt May 17, 2017, 11:56 AM

I was jsut wondering how character progression will work in this game, Ive watched the videos on nodes and stuff but I haven't seen anything about character levels, character stats and gear progression?

dark maple May 17, 2017, 11:59 AM

#

<@&257269635559194625> Will there be a lot of copy/paste? To ellaborate will we see the same 5 cities on nodes pop up to look and be the same (even if one is destoryed will it be recreated to look the same as the last one that was destoryed) or have the same buildings copy pasted everywhere, same goes with things like scenery and props, although I know your game is pre-alpha I did notice in one of the Q&As you said the main first city you've been working on has got most of it's core complete, although seeing the videos there looked to be A LOT of the same plants, every building symetrical etc.
Thanks! 😃

#

Also, what are the Monster tokens for on the kickstarter? only thing I can think of it gives rare loots, haven't seen anything of these appear on Q&As or Forums

oak ember May 17, 2017, 12:08 PM

@Stanley the monster tokens can make you a monter during event where a node is attacked by monster npcs

<@&257269635559194625> @hollow fiber If I'm a resident of town A and my town activates a siege against town B on another node, will the players from town A automatically become combatants within the area of town B's node from the time of the siege declaration, or will it be when the actual siege starts hours later?

upbeat pilot May 17, 2017, 12:20 PM

#

@dark maple Intrepid mentioned about what all matters the design of the Node: The Race will have an Impact so when the most people that worked on the node are orcs it will have a orc design, also you have science nodes, war nodes etc, there all also different. Also they spoken about the leader of A node who can build House structure, like saying we are going to build that now, so i think there will be different looks. If its really like, not symetrical and random i thinks thats not going to happy but a statement about that would be nice 😄

hallow harness May 17, 2017, 12:21 PM

#

@solid crescent There is a time in between the declaration and the actual start of the siege. So the Beseiged node and the siegers have time to prepare.

novel ice May 17, 2017, 12:23 PM

#

<@&257269635559194625> This may have already been asked but...Will the cities and areas that are being built be Influenced by the different races and possibly have Race-based architecture?

Including housing, and Guild halls. Will we have an option to dictate it’s racial design. I.E.- More elvish or Orcish instead of a linear Human based design.

subtle bluff May 17, 2017, 12:24 PM

#

@novel ice Read two comments above yourself

novel ice May 17, 2017, 12:28 PM

#

@Fitintent
I see but it doesn't really answer my question regarding players own housing and guild halls. Also the cities comment seems vague. Is there a link to the deva comment regarding the structures?

#

sorry @subtle bluff

subtle bluff May 17, 2017, 12:30 PM

#

The node architecture comment is accurate and comes directly from Steven. I believe it was said in the 2nd node overview video on youtube, but not sure. As far as the rest goes, we just don't have the information, unless it's somewhere inside this https://docs.google.com/document/d/14luppZ3Ub8jmcw_aK65QWxYY4xa8qAo9zRfpYWBxOXE/edit @novel ice

<@&257269635559194625> Will the demonic artwork Skin be shown as was promised for this week at some point?

upbeat pilot May 17, 2017, 1:30 PM

#

@novel ice Dont worry id watched and looked every podcast livestream etc. and they mentioned somewhere that House skins where Different, also for Cashshop and as usual + they will have racial design on a lot of things, so housing im pretty sure they will be racial skins but guild halls, who knows but i think they must do that otherwise its strange of lore aspects and RP, so Steve loves RP so i think that should be no problem

nocturne void May 17, 2017, 2:06 PM

#

@novel ice yes it'll be shown this week as they've stated. We still have time 😃

#

<@&257269635559194625> I'm a "armor set" collector. I know you've mentioned there will be dungeons going across the board. Will we see numerous armor sets for players to obtain? If so, one of my pet peeves with another MMO, is for example, three different tiers of armor would be just rehash with different colors and no originality/creativity.

nimble wave May 17, 2017, 2:48 PM

#

@nocturne void They've stated multiple times that the items in game will be very diffrent, moreso, also dyeble (if you're into dyes).
it has also been said that the legendary items in game will have the feel of a legendary item, aquiring them will be extremly rare, which will turn this whole experience into a unique one of a kind scenario.
In other words, there will be lots of interactive items, with a lot of "rare" unique ones for you to "collect". it defintley wont feel like a no creativity design ^^

@nimble wave armorsets should be unique not rehashed previous stuff 😃

@nimble wave that's what I was referring to along with having many armor sets to choose from at early stages, middle and beyond

<@&257269635559194625> It would definitely lend to the sense of community if players couldn't change their names post-creation. It would allow people to become (in)famous without being able to just pay ten bucks and lose any notoriety they've gained. What are your plans for this?

vale linden May 17, 2017, 4:45 PM

#

I think the general idea is that each class will have different utilities. Although does that mean a character would have access to their secondary classes' respective utility? Perhaps not able to preform it as well/ fast/ effective as if it were their primary. I mean that would make any one enjoy a single character more right?

I am bothered by this stock market, i have 2 concerns, 1 is that with in a few months the pvp will sky rocket once guilds get big enough to hoard resources and 2. I believe it will stop new people form joining the game, they will be behind in the market and figure why bother.

#

i really see this as the only negative in the game and why bother with it

hushed haven May 17, 2017, 5:35 PM

Will all major cities have the same artwork and flavor? Or will they vary based on location on type of city? EX) medieval castle city vs middle-eastern

crystal beacon May 17, 2017, 5:48 PM

#

They will be based on the majority of the community who work on it IE: If a big chunk of the inhabitants are orcs it will be an orc city

#

Plus community side decisions influence the structural design

nimble pivot May 17, 2017, 5:50 PM

#

<@&257269635559194625> Will certain monsters have specfic elemental weakness or resistances. For example will a water spell do as much damage to a fire elemental as a fire spell? Will fire spells heal fire bases enemies?

#

<@&257269635559194625> will there be any sort of synergy being skills cast by party members forming combo skills with additional effects or bonuses damage like skillchains from FFXI or GW2 combo skills.

<@&257269635559194625> So as far as the guild themed cloaks and barding go in the 1K pledge, let's say I pass those out and keep a set for myself, if someone I gave a set too leaves guild do they keep that cloak / barding (which I assume they would but would like clarification on it) and if they do retain it would it go to show a new guilds emblem if they joined a new guild or will those be static on first appearance?

<@&257269635559194625> I was wondering, since it beeing mentioned in a Q&A. if there is now a more definite answer for the coming of a standalone character creator.

<@&257269635559194625> So, I have issues with this 'stock exchange' - I think a lot of work will need to go in to making sure this is not immersion breaking. Keeping track of stocks and who owned those stocks was a complex, highly detailed process in the 1500s which is when they started to come into existence, will anything be done to emulate that? Do stocks have to be delivered (such as by caravans)? Or is everything going to be automated?

At first I was annoyed with that stretch goal, but then I began to realize you were talking about the actual exchanging of stock, the buying of equity, and the formation of trusts and such. So, good luck with it.

<@&257269635559194625> One major concern I've had is in regards to world design. Some MMO's do a great job of presenting an open world with minimal loading screens, flowing from one area to the next. Games that come to mind are BDO and WoW when it comes to this. However, many MMOs dont do this effectively. How seemless will the players experience be traversing the world? Will land viewed on the horizon be land that actually is explorable, or will it be more of a backdrop like tera?

<@&257269635559194625> Will be there challenging max level content? Will be there Item level? Will be there more roles than just Tank/Healer/Dps, more like Bard being a super buffer/debuffer? Will classes change their name when you add the subclass to it? Like the predator is supposed to be Rogue+Ranger , will the classes change their name once you mix them?

@vestal spruce Intrepid is not responsible for the payment system on KS. KS does not support paypal, however, you can purchase a Visa Gift card at your local supermarked (or gasstation) or maybe online (not sure about that). There are also prepaid creditcards.

@tender silo Voice chat is confirmed for party and raid groups and maybe guilds (that one is not sure yet)

@pale hound They mentioned groups will need to coordinate to encounter certain mechanics. It will be impossible to zerg down bosses through only dmg by large group. Sounds like what you like. No detailed information yet, tho.

<@&257269635559194625> Can weather be affected by players? For example can a really high levelled mage specialising in ice magic create a localised snowstorm or something similar? Or during a siege you could have like twenty mages creating a massive torrent that can restrain enemy movement, fog to obscure vision, winds that can upheave terrain etc? It'd be pretty cool if that were so

As an avid roleplayer myself, it would be really cool to see fully customizable character profiles in-game. Something akin to the popular World of Warcraft addon Total Roleplay 3. Final Fantasy XIV also has an awesome emote system that would be really cool to see in Ashes too.

<@&257269635559194625> I have 2 questions

Will the Sea/OCE server come after NA/EU or at the same time?
What kind of Summoner class? Like, can I summon a group of minions or just have one until the end of the game?

@vestal spruce So far the only really flying mount is a dragon which is only awarded to Mayors and Kings

@mint orchid ok thanks mate would be great to have sth like that in the game though imo

sand crown May 18, 2017, 7:11 AM

<@&257269635559194625> just wonder, if like doing dungeons or other group play like world Bosses, who do I avoid friendly fire, when anyone can fight everyone?

vocal elk May 18, 2017, 7:31 AM

#

I did not see a suggesstion section in this discord channel so forgive me for posting it up here, but i had an idea as far as weapons go in this game. Basically I have yet to see a game where a player can actually create a "Custom" weapon especially in the mmo world. Given the very nature of this game, and how heavy a focus you guys want to make crafting in this game (ty btw for that) I think this is a very natural progression for it. How it could work would be a blacksmith or weaponsmith could have a selection of weapon looks to choose from, and according to his crafting lvl, could be able to imbue that said weapon with a certain number of abilities/skills. Then also hve access ot a special dye system where they can change the color of said weapon. And of course be able to give it a cool name. A good skill for a Master craftsman would be somethign like giving a weapon the ability to transform into a different weapon at the users command. For example say u have a sword and give it the ability to also transform into a bow or warhammer and have it's ability set change according to what the craftsmen set for it. It should def take a ton of mats for this, but it def gives this particualr type of craftsmen a high demand in your game. This idea would def furthr make your MMO the best ever seen and experienced to this day.

How many players can you currently and do you hope to fit on a screen while maintaining at least 30 FPS?

#

In what ways will you maintain the economy of Ashes? How will you avoid the inflation caused by the creation of in-game currency by players just playing (killing mobs etc)? ~~How will you maintain demand for equipment and materials, if, for example, gear lasts forever?~~ The question of economy is very complex and I hope you treat it as such as you design it further.

<@&257269635559194625> the 'Mage' looks more like an 'Arcane Mage' instead of choosing a specific element or something that (not good with english) > defines his specialty from other mages. Boring to know how most mages will be in combat, but if we had different subcatagory type of Mages in the game, it would suprise you more to find out the first hit he deals on you is a fireball > then he's probably a fire mage.

<@&257269635559194625> Will animations in Ashes of Creation have a good amount of flare / dynamic poses / over the top feel for them?

I personally find it enjoyable for the fantasy environment. I suppose I find the majority of western mmorpg animations to be lackluster and I'm hoping Ashes of Creation can break away from that trend. While most Eastern mmorpgs, like black desert, tera, aion, lineage etc all felt really well animated for the dates the games came out. Just wondering what you're aiming for in respect to animations.

<@&257269635559194625> I would like to ask about the diversity and uniqueness of certain NPCs and creatures.. That's something I've seen quite a bit in MMOs... A lot of copy and pasted mobs with no originality... Just different names and sometimes different colors. Would AoC be willing to combat that tediousness in mob generation?

Examples: WoW had a lot of the same models for a lot of the same type of mobs with different names. ElderScrollsOnline does the same thing, but with daedra and it gets really boring to fight the same creatures over and over again when traveling to completely different areas.

<@&257269635559194625> Will gear and costumes be gender specific or can any gender wear any clothing? Realistically it'd make sense for some clothes to be designed for males or females but perhaps there is room for crossplay with a little tinkering from in-game tailors?

<@&257269635559194625> So the server host for NA, EU, and SEA are going to be in those specific regions only right, so that people get better latency/ping? Also will we be able to check the ping on the server before joining them instead of joining them and regretting it later?

Will you implement some sort of bug reporting system in the alphas and betas to help facilitate this? What about a log of recent game data that comes along to facilitate finding out what the problems are?

@analog hazel Steven hasn't really revealed anything about fighter/summoner, I want to make a fighter/summoner too. I dont think you're going to change into an animal though. All steven has said is this, but still he was just thinking, its not 100%

@rose breach That is certainly interesting. Well hopefully they'll go into more depth with the class cross-overs soon. I'd really like a class that turns into creatures, always loved those xD

<@&257269635559194625> do you need to craft arrows for ranger classes or would you have infinite arrows.is there any special arrows you can craft with modified tips(broadhead,blunt... etc) that hurt specific enemies more than others, and will hunting be a big part of the game as a resource and will killing animals in specific ways will change the quality of the meat/pelt

@idle siren will we have to find raid entrances or will there be certain quests that end with the "raid mission" also, when it comes to raiding is it going to be like scaled dungeon bosses or actually difficult encounters to which it will be a struggle for lets say Hard mode and hopefully nightmare instances?

<@&257269635559194625>
What is required to build a ship is it just materials and such or also a certain progression of a node or else?
What happens if your ship gets destroyed? And does the corruption system also apply to ship fights?

<@&257269635559194625> Do you send any responses to resumes? I assume mine was turned down (which I kinda expected) but was just curious of its status.

#

<@&257269635559194625> My question is related to the artifacts, as we saw players could steal the artifact from another node. Are you planning to implement some flagging (marking) machanics on the thieves? Is there in game any mechanics which will help players to take their artifact back? How far does a thief have to run away to become safe, must he reach his node or maybe just leave the robbed node?

grizzled temple May 18, 2017, 4:55 PM

#

<@&257269635559194625> I would like to know how the level of difficulty of monsters is determined. Are they spawned when a player enters an area? Will a geared character bring his new friend into the server and be able to powerlevel him? Spawn rates? Pretty much any general info for how my experience will be from moving around the map at various levels(new player or not) in combination with various stages of nodes, and the interaction of differences of player power grouped together.

#

<@&257269635559194625> I am unsure if this has been asked or not but will the mounts be two seater, like in archeage almost all the mounts are two seater so I was wondering if I got a horse would someone be able to ride horse back with me, or will it have to be a special/rare horse like in BDO.

grizzled temple May 18, 2017, 5:07 PM

#

<@&257269635559194625> Also, I'm interested on the depth of content in terms of adventuring across the map; as far as unique content to find and how much of the playerbase on a particular server can spread out throughout the map. Is it likely for me to see tons of people everywhere I go to the farthest corners of the map? Will I see every single player in the areas around me, or is there a limit? This includes highly populated areas around city spaces, and what about player collision there? What do the edges of the map look like where you cannot go any further? Is there going to be a minimap for me to view? I'd be interested in a Hunter X Hunter style map from Greed Island where it was an item; particularly how he could edit his blank map as he wanted vs the already populated map of basic info that was also an option.

<@&257269635559194625> Will there be Raids a group of players will take on without random players interferring? (instanced raid or claiming system, or something like that)

grave stag May 18, 2017, 5:30 PM

#

@vast crescent I don't believe they would do that with T-Shirts and multiple accessories prior to launch, due to not wanting to be a cash grab company like another game out there that has raised lots of money and have yet to launch a quality product

#

@late pewter I believe the video card GTX 970 was mentioned on stream when they were doing the most recent gameplay

@grizzled temple Here's a bit on monster levels and all that. From what we've been told the primary means of gaining EXP is through questing.

📎 0dedd565dbbe96a65b69755429856b77.png

#

@grizzled temple As for the depth of content in terms of adventuring across the map. They've said there should be a lot of secrets and easter eggs out there to explore. The other stuff is more specific and I don't think we have much on those elements. The map should be large enough that you won't be wading through crowds everywhere you go.

#

@vernal salmon Some are instanced, so yes.

#

@primal harbor We did hit a goal (kinda) related to that! Not sure if most will allow multiple people on a mount or not, though.

grizzled temple May 18, 2017, 5:47 PM

#

@crisp agate Is there any release for how long it takes to traverse the map at walking speed/mount speed etc. in order to give a good idea of size? Also, say everyone is logged in and the area of the map is divided evenly which each player in the center of their own respective area. How much space between people are we talking? That would be a generally good indicator of how often you might run into someone distributed across the area and maybe some lesser regions. As you can tell, I am interested in exploring and would like to be able to go so far I'll never see anyone as a possibility, meaning the things to find would be rarely touched if at all by a few people or parties who happened to go that far.

#

As for my example, I mean can i see the other person? Would I feel crowded if that were done? Or would they be way far away and the area would still feel decently large in proportion to population?

crisp agate May 18, 2017, 5:50 PM

#

@grizzled temple It's been said that for instance a guild won't be able to hear of a caravan across the map and be able to zerg and raid it, so I'd say it sounds pretty sizeable. The metropolises are also .5km in radius, which speaks to the kind of scale they're going for.

I don't think the specifics of how large we're talking have been elaborated on—but the size is certainly decent. As for not running into other players when out exploring, I'm sure some areas might be less frequented due to not having a developed node there and so-on.

grizzled temple May 18, 2017, 5:51 PM

#

But in that case (since its not developed), wouldnt that also mean that being more geared and going out there would almost be meaningless?

#

Since content is sort of tied to the level of the node?

brisk pumice May 18, 2017, 6:03 PM

#

Hi <@&257269635559194625> , will we be able to select what stats we want to add as another way of player progression? A system like Ragnarok Online makes it that players need to plan ahead of how they want to build their character from day 1. It also shapes how a player lvls up. For example a full Vit(Vitality/HP) player wont exert much dmg but will be able to tank more monsters and enourage Parties. I like punishing mechanics where Pure builds suffer in lvling and maybe Shines in late game with items to compensate their weakneses.

<@&257269635559194625> If the monster tokens allow a player to become an "Epic/Elite" Monster for a fight, I'm presuming only one player would be in control of that monster. If that is the case, would it mean that it's first come first serve when using the token, and all other players would be locked out of using their tokens? Maybe someone could explain the Monster Tokens a bit more or share which feed video it was discussed in. Thanks!

<@&257269635559194625> Question about Pay2Win. Yes, i heard that you h8 it, and do what you can to avoid this selling only Costumes and some other visuals in 'InGame shop', but thats what players use in Russian Black Desert servers. Buying costumes, and selling them for gold, big amount of gold. Whould buyed costumes\etc be tradable\soulbind\accountbind?

silver vigil May 18, 2017, 7:08 PM

@open girder considering their stance against p2w i think its safe to assume that if you buy it with cash, its soulbound to at the very least your account

#

<@&257269635559194625> Q: concerning nodes and the world portals. Naturally, even without players hanging around the portals, the nodes near each of the portals will develop faster simply due to it being a starting zone. are you in planning on doing something to control that, or are you in fact encouraging it?

tame reef May 18, 2017, 7:40 PM

@open girder I believe in a Q&A they addressed this in saying they'd prevent player selling of cash shop items. Not sure exactly how though

upbeat pilot May 18, 2017, 7:44 PM

#

<@&257269635559194625> Again a question about that cash shop. In fact to avoid p2w, i there will not be cash shop items that increase luck, or xp gained (like if you waer that u gain more xp and things like that)?

crystal beacon May 18, 2017, 7:46 PM

@upbeat pilot cash shop items will be cosmetic only from what ive heard so far.

rose breach May 18, 2017, 7:47 PM

#

@crystal beacon correct.

limber kite May 18, 2017, 7:57 PM

#

@silver vigil Its true that the node in the starting area will be the first developed, however, a player spends usually only a couple of hours there and than move forward. Since it takes few weeks to build up a City, it does not necessary mean that those nodes will be the first metropolis, as long as the community don't develop those on purpose. Poeple will move quite fast to less crowded areas. Moreover i believe the amount of lowlevel nodes such a villages is not restrict, thus the place of futher metropolis should not be restrict to the starting zones (it takes many weeks to develop those).

twin horizon May 18, 2017, 8:13 PM

#

<@&257269635559194625> hello ! 😃 My question is about crafting and economy of the game/ As you progress in leveling up your profession will there be unique/rare recipes for professions? / If there is none is there anyway to stand out in professions besides being proficient in it? / For shops inside the town/city will it become yours after purchase or is it rental/ Will the pricing for the shops inside the town/city be different depending on location?

rustic river May 18, 2017, 8:44 PM

#

@silver vigil The studio has said that the starting portals will be significant distances from one another; meaning they likely would want to encourage the development of metropolises at these starting zones as it would make the travel time between them more meaningful.

supple nova May 18, 2017, 9:51 PM

#

<@&257269635559194625> @idle siren Have you thought about combining the different nodes, like Military, Science.. etc into one? If every node is a market in itself and can't interact with others right away it will be hard to convince friends to play a single one so we all are together. How can we keep lets say a group of 10 people that want to play together in the same place even tho they don't all need the same benefits that the city provides?

crystal beacon May 18, 2017, 10:08 PM

#

@supple nova That would kill the variety of choices and decisions that can be taken, part of the fun about nodes is trying to develop the type of node you like, and decisions have consequences. If you just made one type of node that would basically kill part of the game's essence.

worn leaf May 18, 2017, 10:10 PM

<@&257269635559194625> Will you show Demonic skin and Guild skins

supple nova May 18, 2017, 10:10 PM

#

@crystal beacon perhaps, but I was just thinking about how to keep the people i'm going to play the game in the same place. Like to be part of the same node etc... so that bonuses are not too tempting for them to leave. Maybe they make the game in a way where that wont matter and we can be in the same place, too early to say

gentle juniper May 18, 2017, 10:38 PM

#

@supple nova this has to be about exploration/transport/moving so there is no point to stay in one place.

#

<@&257269635559194625> @idle siren Nod system and how it can be created/destroyed seems legit if driven by players. What about natural occurring events like? flood/volcano/meteorite/enormous boss level mobs. For example; player triggers an epic quest where in 30 days, something needs to be completed and if not, there will be a raid of dragons or something similar. Having only players to influence nodes takes away the mystery of RPG genre.

<@&257269635559194625> This might be considered flavor, but do you plan on having multiple weapons for each class (weapon skills)? Will a fighter for example be able to dual wield swords/axes/maces (variation of the three?) as well as perhaps use two-handed weaponry? Will a mage be able to wield a sphere/scepter/tome/dagger in one hand while waving his staff/wand/catalyst in the other?

crisp agate May 19, 2017, 12:40 AM

#

@north condor Weapons/armor aren't restricted to class, but classes are more effective with certain weapons/armor. Every class will have multiple options to use, though. (First one is a response to "will all weapons be open to all classes? same with armor?")

📎 2ae2493144871e2824b5ad1f47d6e489.png

#

@north condor All classes can use all weapons, but certain classes are more efficient with certain weapons. For instance, if you want to use a shield bash type skill—You'd need a shield.

Dual wielding has been confirmed as well, though we don't know the lengths that it goes in terms of effectiveness.

#

@karmic sage There are a lot of ways that players can compete with one another. If you mean directly in PvP—There are Arenas with rankings and ladders, that have fights such as 1v1,3v3,5v5, and potentially a FFA with 20 combatants. There are also Open-world PvP systems, castle sieges, guild wars, caravan raids, and so-on.

@thin raft Yes on dual wielding, not sure about wielding a two-handed weapon with one hand.

@gentle juniper That sort of stuff is what happens in nodes, yes. They work in a "choose your own adventure" sort of sense. They'll trigger various events by leveling, and a lot of the content hidden behind them is curated (meaning pre-made, but hidden until we unlock it/trigger it).

#

@supple nova You aren't locked to which node you primarily invest in. If you don't agree on which place to stay in, you can just as easily still all hang out with one another. Being involved a node doesn't mean you can't play with others outside of the node.

@drifting aurora We have seen examples of them running around with a few characters, if that's what you mean. Check out their youtube channel and the A Mage's Life pre-alpha footage!

<@&257269635559194625> More of a basic question here. For the economy, what type of money system will be implemented? Something like gold is the only currency or a tiered system where you have the 100 copper -> Silver / 100 Silver -> Gold? Asking because using one type of money vs using tiers of money changes the perspective of how much cheap items cost vs expensive items.

<@&257269635559194625> So... Read all of this before judging it... Will there be breast sliders on female characters.

Hold the torches and pitchforks, anyone who was grabbing them, I want to mention, I think adding this as an option would promote more modestly proportioned female characters, since, every MMO I've played which does not have this as an option, if you were to add a slider to these games, the default model would, most of the time, fall in the top 75%, at least, and often the top 90. (The mage from your mage video would be at about 90, for example)

quaint badger May 19, 2017, 7:20 AM

#

@sturdy jacinth 95% sure there will be breast sliders for female

sturdy jacinth May 19, 2017, 7:22 AM

#

That's good @quaint badger . Now we just need to hope that the big end isn't too big, and the small end actually gets down into small.

#

(Because, BDO, for example, just lets you pick between Large, Huge or... let's not talk about the top end of their sliders... just no.)

quaint badger May 19, 2017, 7:25 AM

#

@sturdy jacinth Steven said that the character customization will be huge will many options if they don't add a breast slider I will be shocked!

#

@flat lava you will be able to have multiple characters on a server and to go with transfer a character to another server I don't see why that cant be a possibility later on

<@&257269635559194625> hello, Could you tell us what API will be used for AoC ? DX11 DX 12 or Vulcan. I know it's a long time before release but looking what is there on the market in next 2 years it would be based on either DX12 or Vulcan (both). Thanks

#

<@&257269635559194625> @idle siren hello. Would there be weapons with skills embedded into them? For example; Unique Sword of The Phoenix used in the siege, after killing the foe would have 1% chance to delay resurrection of the foe by time in seconds. Or something like Flame Sword of Burning - 1% to inflict burn (time-based dmg/s). Unique Armor Sets with 100%activable skill to nullify magic attack with global c/d (hrs/days ) or 1% to do it without global c/d. Thanks

covert smelt May 19, 2017, 8:13 AM

#

@gentle juniper ooh sounds interesting. 1% would kinda suck but maybe legendary drops could be enchanted into gear to have bonus effects like magic reflect on shields. Of course it'd be pretty pricey to afford one of these reflective shields and probably only guild leaders would end up with them for those large scale raids

@Steven You've said that "Upon reaching a certain participation score, the Node will develop into its first of six stages."
Are the scores for each node and each level going to be the same? Will these required scores be made public by <@&257269635559194625> at some point? Will the scores change based on certain factors such as "how many times the node has been destroyed, etc." Will there be a type of Node "XP" bar that players can see when entering into a Node's zone?

winged fulcrum May 19, 2017, 8:39 AM

#

Just curious as to whether there are those working on the node system that where from the open world PVE department of EveryQuest Next. It seems roughly similier the localised development of certain areas shown in early EQN presentations and I know Intrepid is made of of former SOE members.

verbal fractal May 19, 2017, 8:54 AM

#

@elecore It's highly likely that those who had experience in the game you mentioned invested their knowledge when developing this game. You're sure to see aspects of many past games as the developers have stated that they wanted to use things that worked well along with their own new ideas (incorporating new technologies) to make the best possible MMORPG. Given that the development team consists of those who've played multiple games, we're likely to see bits and pieces that remind each of us of a game we've played before.

<@&257269635559194625> @idle siren Hello, has it been said specifically whether Ashes of Creation will have instanced raids and dungeons in a controlled group format? If so, have any specifics been given on the number of players dungeons and raids will be for? In addition, will there be different difficulty levels for instanced dungeons and raids or perhaps some other design like activating a more difficult version of a boss encounter while fighting it's normal mode version?

dapper river May 19, 2017, 9:13 AM

#

<@&257269635559194625> Will your artisan class have any leveling limitations tied directly to the adventuring class? If I wanted to make a crafter alt, would they be able to work on crafting and eventually become some kind of 'master crafter' without having to level the adventuring class as well? In some games you wouldn't be able to get past lvl X crafting without first achieving lvl Y in the primary class.

<@&257269635559194625> Wanted to ask about the UI. I'm partially sighted and have struggled with some MMOs in the past that failed to give options to change font sizes, or move things around / set opaque backgrounds on controls etc. Any chance you could look into getting these features in on the games UI (at least the font change)

<@&257269635559194625> How unique will the Demonic and Angelic Character racial skin be and how common will other racial skins be if they are available either through the cash shop or obtainable in game. One of the reasons I was planning on upgrading to the Leader of Men pledge on Kickstarter was for the Kickstarter exclusive skins. If racial skins can be easily obtainable after launch then the Leader of Men pledge loses allot of its appeal for me.

@wraith ember they've already stated that if able they'll use money to complete the game early, but it depends on how fast they can develop the features. Throwing more money at it doesn't always make it quicker.

obtuse lark May 19, 2017, 1:29 PM

#

<@&257269635559194625> Perhaps a stupid question, but on Kickstarter, when you say all previous rewards, does that mean pets and mounts stack, or do they get replaced? So, for example, I REALLY want the Falcon pet, but if I back at a higher level, will that be replaced by the psuedo dragon?

I have a few questions first how big is your world can we see a map of it so far
Second will there be an assassins type guild in the social guilds aspect
And third how is your crafting going to be please say it s not going to be like black desert onlines system

crystal beacon May 19, 2017, 2:32 PM

#

Another question will there be a assassin class combination

rose breach May 19, 2017, 2:33 PM

#

@crystal beacon Rogue+ranger= predator (basically assasin)

crystal beacon May 19, 2017, 2:34 PM

#

Ok cool what about my other questions

rose breach May 19, 2017, 2:35 PM

#

and the assasin guilds? Right, there will be no "assasin" guilds, but there will be social organisations.

📎 unknown.png

crystal beacon May 19, 2017, 2:36 PM

Yeah i saw those was just wondering if they were gonna add an assassins type guild

rose breach May 19, 2017, 2:38 PM

#

Thieves guild will be the closest to that, sorry buddy 😄

crystal beacon May 19, 2017, 2:38 PM

Ok no prob i can live with that

#

I am just really excited for this game

proper temple May 19, 2017, 2:39 PM

#

The community can always start their own assassins guild.

@crystal beacon we haven't really gotten that much information on those two topics. sorry buddy 😛 also @proper temple keep #intrepid_answers to questions and answers please 😄

Please say crafting will not be like black desert online

@crystal beacon yea social organizations we dont know how many we can join.

<@&257269635559194625> You mentioned a bit of what you are trying to accomplish with the character creator.
And I'm pretty sure you might allow is to make the characters look older, but will we be able to make younger looking ones? I'm not asking about just baby face, rather shorter/more petite characters. I don't mean full-on lolitas either...😅

turbid crater May 19, 2017, 3:26 PM

@crystal beacon Steven said in the most recent stream i believe that you can join one social organization, you'll be able to change to another if you'd like later on (maybe your not a fan of that organization or just wanna switch) you can but at the expense of the rank and prestige you've gained in your current social organization, so it'll be similar to being in a guild in the aspect that you can join one and change later on it you want too. The social organizations are just another way to be a part of a Community in Ashes of Creation as well as deliver a unique experience per individual.

crystal beacon May 19, 2017, 3:28 PM

Cool thanks

#

Still need more info on game as a whole have so many questions

turbid crater May 19, 2017, 3:32 PM

#

@crystal beacon I agree with you there, but to be honest with the game still being in Pre-Alpha though we have got a lot of information. Have you watched all the streams on thier twitch channel? You might also check out @hollow fiber youtube channel becuase he's made quite a few detailed videos of Ashes of Creation that are worth the watch.

With hybrid of that clas ut would be epic tamer job

sand rock May 19, 2017, 4:10 PM

@crystal beacon I'm pretty sure that the rogue rogue will be the assassin class (just speculation but it only makes sense since they said if you choose primary and secondary as the same you will double down on your primary choice and rogue rogue kinda would be assassin right?)

@idle siren So as far as the guild themed cloaks and barding go in the 1K pledge, let's say I pass those out and keep a set for myself, if someone I gave a set too leaves guild do they keep that cloak / barding (which I assume they would but would like clarification on it) and if they do retain it would it go to show a new guilds emblem if they joined a new guild or will those be static on first appearance?

idle siren May 19, 2017, 4:45 PM

Guild Rewards are assigned to a guild by the owner of the reward. Once assigned to a guild it becomes an assett pf the guild. Guild members that leave a guild no longer have access to the unique items of that guild.

<@&257269635559194625> You mentioned once, that you want to do gathering, not boring and simple as usual, so i would have a question/idea for Hunting or gathering "HIDE", What about you need to purchase a special BOW to hunt, and only with that weapon u can after a death of a monster that has hide, you can gather that hide. So if you kill it with normal weapons or skilles the hide is damaged and u cant take the hide of that monster. So it would be like a minigame to gather hide and would be more intresting and challanging, also though that mini game should be bow hunting in First person and a headshot maybe also gives more hide (like 5 hide pieces) than 2 shots on the body or something. Also questions are you thinking about other mini games for the other gatherjobs?

#

<@&257269635559194625> And it would be nice if you had an ideaboard or somethin in this discord, what do you think about it?

#

<@&257269635559194625> i believe it would be very interesting if the nodes cratered to the xp the players received under the nodes influence..... so let's say a guild of miners and Smiths move to a mountain node. If most the xp the players are making in the zone the nodes monitors. Will the nodes as it levels cater to those Smiths and will the city forge Grant bonuses to these smiths and miners? I believe it would be very interesting if everyone knew you had to go to this one node to get the best arms and armor. So much so that the whole node is a mining smithing merchant town..... just a small dream as a PvE/Smith player

<@&257269635559194625> @Steven Are there any plans for publishing a book on the Ashes of Creation Lore? It would really give us a chance to understand the back story and understand what we will be jumping in to once the game launches (gosh, I sound like a new kid grabbing his fresh pencils and magic lunchbox as I rush out the door for my first day of school!)

hexed ore May 19, 2017, 7:43 PM

to go along with that. a book with concept art mixed with lore would easily be a buy from me

@verbal fractal in the last libestream and in other they talked about their franchise. They will do it, but the priority number one is the game and all other things will follow when they finished. Backstory they will release in video format and more than after with they franchise thing etc. hope i could answer you

<@&257269635559194625> @idle siren imagine that this game is a huge succes that the servers are always full, and the resources on the map dry out, will it ever happen that every resources is dried out and theres nothing left to gather? If yes what are the possible scenarios?

the question what happens when a Guild Member who uses a Kickstarer Guild Reward (Cloak/Barding) leaves the Guild was already answerd;

But, what happens when i get kicked/removed from a Guild (-for whatever reason-) that uses my Guild Rewards?
Do i lose all my Guild Rewards?
That would terrible. i would be too scared to use my Guild Rewards, i dont wanna lose them. very concerned
Thank you.

<@&257269635559194625> I did not see a suggesstion section in this discord channel so forgive me for posting it up here, but i had an idea as far as weapons go in this game. Basically I have yet to see a game where a player can actually create a "Custom" weapon especially in the mmo world. Given the very nature of this game, and how heavy a focus you guys want to make crafting in this game (ty btw for that) I think this is a very natural progression for it. How it could work would be a blacksmith or weaponsmith could have a selection of weapon looks to choose from, and according to his crafting lvl, could be able to imbue that said weapon with a certain number of abilities/skills. Then also hve access ot a special dye system where they can change the color of said weapon. And of course be able to give it a cool name. A good skill for a Master craftsman would be somethign like giving a weapon the ability to transform into a different weapon at the users command. For example say u have a sword and give it the ability to also transform into a bow or warhammer and have it's ability set change according to what the craftsmen set for it. It should def take a ton of mats for this, but it def gives this particualr type of craftsmen a high demand in your game. This idea would def furthr make your MMO the best ever seen and experienced to this day.

#

It would def provide a additional unique set of weapons totally designed and created by players. i have seen a few animes utilize this to great success but not really an mmo to this degree

<@&257269635559194625> You mentioned some stealth mechanics info regarding the rogue class in the latest livestream, here permanent stealth was discussed and it was said stealth might have a duration instead, as a person who has always loved the rogue class this bugs me a little bit. I wonder if people who choose to double down on the class (picking rogue/rogue instead of lets say rogue/ranger, rogue/X) will have the opportunity for permanent stealth while the hybrids might not?

<@&257269635559194625> Assuming two players of equal skill, do you have an idea for how easily a higher-leveled player should be able to defeat a lower-leveled player?

I ask, because one of the more frustrating elements of MMOs is the idea that low-level players are almost useless in any form of PVP because they die to one shot. Will this be the case for Ashes?

<@&257269635559194625> Question regarding gathering, specifically mining. Can you go into more detail regarding the comment that resources will be finite. Will there be visible nodes, so anyone running by will see the "ore vein", or will there be a system in place so that you can "discover" an area of great mining, and keep it secret until it's depleted? I remember in UO there were no visible nodes for resources, you just clicked on your mining pick and randomly clicked on the mountain sides, which lead to discovering great veins that you would keep secret. 😄

<@&257269635559194625> Hey i have some conserns after hearing u are building the system around restricting how many "something" people can own. Will this not encourage folk to have multiple accounts and get a benefit. (which everyone cant do cause time/money). isnt that P2W?
Im a formed archeage player and the richest people i knew wasnt even playing the game, just hopping between 5 accounts making huge cash impossible to make normally.

supple nova May 19, 2017, 11:36 PM

#

@carmine prawn how do you think multiple accounts will make you rich when they said you will need to go out and do stuff. You won't benefit enought from multiple accounts while standing in one place. Also if there is a way to invest couple of months in multiple accounts and gain huge benefits why would you care? He's only ruining his exp by doing that, won't change anything for you. People in wow had multiple accounts for ages and nobody cared

@crystal beacon care to elaborate on that? OH! got it no probably going stay at 1000

yep

crystal flax May 20, 2017, 12:12 AM

If it was going to have an early bird by now I'm sure it would've

quaint badger May 20, 2017, 12:13 AM

#

@crystal flax @crystal beacon indeed thinking they are staying at 1000

#

@fiery token you can pay for extra guards and more likely you wont be alone when escorting caravans because other players got stuff to transport as well

#

@loud wyvern They said it wont be like random if you find a vein more likely it will be a huge amount of vein. It wont be like WOW where theirs theses veins that spawn then once depleted they respawn in the same spot

#

@small veldt The colors on the racial skins can be customized.

#

@hybrid forge Like a Dps Chart like recount in World of warcraft if this is what your asking the answer is no they said

#

@crystal beacon It takes time to set war on node. They didnt say how long it will take but once you set war to another node their will be a timer displayed like 3 days or something to give people a chance to get ready etc...

#

@hallow ravine I assume so considering the hair bounces everytime you run walk etc...

#

@crystal beacon I can't say for sure , but I assume so thats a question you should ask on the forums here https://www.ashesofcreation.com/forums/topic/official-livestream-qa-question-thread-may-22-2017/

Ashes of Creation

Home › Forums › Announcements & Headlines › Official Livestream Q&A Question Thread – May …

#

Personally I would say yes to that answer, but again don't quote me on it but ill be really susprise if its not like that

#

example you start a siege on 528pm today 3 days later it should start on 528pm because thats when you originally started it

#

@crystal beacon I believe your good mate 😃 it will blow my mind if its not like that planning sieges takes effort and work into it you can't siege alone lol so setting a time base where u can get most people out of it is the only way. pretty sure your good

#

@crystal beacon you can't choose when someone is going to attack if everyone knew what date/time they attack alot of wars throughout history would of changed

@primal dome about 90% you be able to reset your professions and switch to another one example their is 3 professions (gathering,processing,crafting.) I have zero doubt in my mind you can't pay X gold to reset your skill choice and choose another one ( but you will have to more likely restart your progress from scratch )

#

@wraith ember Don't believe that will play out tbh There will always be resources to gather somewhere it may be far away from its original spot but as the world changes from nodes lvling up etc... new things will pop out and that includes Veins of ore, Resources. ( Now it may be possible for a few days you don't find certain materials Especially when the season changes and that will more likely Higher the price for thoses items on the market )

#

@crystal beacon The "UI" (HUD/Action bars etc.. ) that you see on gameplay videos etc.. is just something for them to test out the ability something simple that works for them. They said in their previous live streams the UI will have alot of customisation

<@&257269635559194625> Is there any talk of having submarines as part of the enhanced naval content to be used for under water exploration and treasure hunting/pirating?

quaint badger May 20, 2017, 1:38 AM

#

@trim hemlock 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. It is not a costume, since it's clothing and armor will be different among players.

2nd question
Submarines probably not Reason why is they are have like a Medieval theme game so the most of ships you can expect is Old wooden pirate ships 😃 hope this helps

<@&257269635559194625> Hey guys good to see a high level of passion for what you do. And its very genuine and not a forced enthusiasm. I think that’s also a thing that resonates well with the community. I have seen it before with the developers of path of exile from grinding gear gaming. But for intrepid it’s a whole new level of transparency awesomeness!
First question: how would a siege unfold or a city? Do we make our own trebuchet’s then transport them to the node we are attacking via a caravan system? If so is there potential for a attack and defend PVP element that could stop the siege in its tracks before it begins? I think this would be pretty cool as there are elements like this in Rust… so you go to raid a base you spend the time to craft the rockets then there is a risk involved in getting to the place you are hoping to raid.
Second question: So what happens when a company like blizzard decides to steal all your awesome ideas and tie it into their next expansion? Im using blizzard as an example because stealing ideas is something they are very good at.
Third question: I have played world of Warcraft for a very long time and I have seen a trend of dumbing down content to provide a better experience for casual gamers. As much as this annoys myself it makes sense financially. Also I have seen the skill cap of people in the wow community drop significantly as well. I understand your game looks to have amazing complex systems which appeals to myself but will this be a turn off for people that may find it all too challenging?
Keep up the incredible work. I already paid for the alpha testing and eagerly await to sink my teeth into it!

<@&257269635559194625> I've been trying to stay on top of all the information regarding freeholds, so forgive me if this has already been covered. I understand that freehold placement becomes available on level 3 nodes or higher and that there's to be some space between freehold placement, but will there be enough 'space' or land for everyone in the game? Or are we going to see a lot of 'land grabbing' when a node levels and people missing out on those chances? I'm just idly concerned about missing out on freehold 'space' when they seem important to crafting in the game.

#

@desert dune Yes, the demonic/angels skins are like own species and they will look the same and have their own set of armor and things, dosnt matter witch race or gender you will have

#

@brisk pumice I don' think it will be like Albion online or similar games, they mentioned with the corruption system and that open world PVP, you can attack every player everywhere, even in Nodes and stuff, but for sure the penalty is pretty huge, and they mentioned the penalty will be per Kill. Also maybe the do a safe zone in the starting area, but i think their aim is to make it as Open PVP as possible.

<@&257269635559194625> My question is related to the artifacts, as we saw players could steal the artifact from another node. Are you planning to implement some flagging (marking) machanics on the thieves? Is there in game any mechanics which will help players to take their artifact back? How far does a thief have to run away to become safe, must he reach his node or maybe just leave the robbed node?
