Do you own the music that you are using in your kickstarter video and other videos? This advertisement on youtube is stealing your music if so. https://youtu.be/khpNtxguMXI?t=40s
It sounds exactly like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RK4z8tQwHU and i was curious if you owned all of the music you are using in your game ?

<@&257269635559194625> As far as the artisan progression goes. will crafters have a unique identity in this world? In example if i followed a specific artisan branch will the items i craft have a specific value where if players want that gear they would have to go to that specific crafter. & can you maybe have a logo brand you can add to the gear to stand out as your creation?

jaunty remnant
Will third party add-ons be a thing?
drifting sinew
@jaunty remnant From the QnAs:
[47:20] Will you allow addons for AoC?
Generally the answer is no.
There is a point where addons become a necessary tool for players to have
Parsers can have some nasty effects on players, if you are not the 1% the way you are treated
For your interface have you discussed how much freedom players will have to change it/install mods?
We’re leaning towards [shifty eyes] not allowing mods
There will be some options for customizations
But as far as “true” mods, not really sure they’re going to support
Don’t want a meta to appear where mods are required to be competitive
[Exception!] Superficial mods which change the aesthetic look of the UI has been implemented.

<@&257269635559194625> What you gonna do with gold sellers? Any plans for tradable game time token? (Like CREDD, WoW token, REX, PLEX, w/ex)
upper turtle
@mild bronze
Outside of the standard mmo security mechanics that involve, algorithms and flagging accounts that have nonstandard action. They plan to have a very active gm community that will be proactive in preventing RMT, botting, spamming in chat, all that kind of stuff.
And to give a bit more information on the in-game GM you get a quote from Steven:
They should be in town/cites, active. But I don't know if they would have an active hand in the actual storyline or player community activities and stuff like that, more so that you are just aware of their presence and they literally be able to land that ban hammer if they see bots and stuff like that.
Bot hunt would be nice idea, if you let people find bots and then pay them with some currency, if GM after report bans bot. (you could make this part of the game proccess,, shooting with some tagging gun potential bots)

@hexed lava They havn't really given us any details on how crops will work but if I had to make an educated guess based on what we do know about the world I would say that you won't be growing sunflowers in the underrealm and certain mushrooms wouldn't do very well in a nice open field.

<@&257269635559194625> Who is Panopticon Labs and what is their product Watchtower actually meant to do, it is vague as to what kind of cyber security they are talking about. Are they for bots and anticheat, or are they for larger scale cyber attacks like DDOS etc. They are new and no one knows anything about them, I would like to learn what Intrepid knows and why they chose them over more proven systems?
true junco
how will banks work?
trim hemlock
@true junco Storage is localized to the node you placed items in. If you wish to access the items you have in a certain node you would have to travel to that node to retrieve the items and transport them to a different node you need to use them at.
true junco
so alot like bdo
trim hemlock
yes
vernal island
@silent bone Watchtower is a pretty cool tool.
It's essentially a security analytics tool that monitors every single player online and analyses what they do until it manages to get a baseline of their habits and behaviour.
It is then able to flag behaviour or any malicious activities that it believes could be a problem for the developers to check (say you remove all of your stuff from bank and send all of your gold to another random character for nothing in return).
The more data it gets, the more it learns your behaviour and the better it will be at being able to flag malicious events that it recognises
true junco
sounds like what my bank does with my cc
vernal island
@silent bone Just to tie it in with your original query.
It will be able to learn how gold farmers and bots tend to act and use that to flag accounts for manual analysis, same with hackers that login and clear your account, etc.
true junco
here's a question how many characters will we be able to make per server? if we have alts wont that throw some of the algorithm out due to using alts to farm with and sending mats to our mains or even gold
trim hemlock
That would be a learned norm by the system.
true junco
i ask because if its 1 per server alot will make or get 2-3 accountas to do the same thing with

We don't know how many alts we can have per server just yet but it will be more than 1 for sure.

I had an idea for loot options. The ruler of that zone of influence "king, giverment,ect."

Thoughts?

@worn otter The monster coin ID is randomed, It will be impossible to select which monster you're taking.
moreover, there will be a lot of otheres, so by "doing nothing" you're maybe damaging the outcome (which is by the way, hurting yourself since you're wasting your own coin to do so) but also its very minimal:
http://i.imgur.com/ZdLn0lr.png
ON TOP OF THAT, you cannot morph into a monster coin event thats taking place in the node you are a citizen of.
Hope that clarified it.

Got another question, sorry if it has been answered. I was told that axe has been confirmed to be put into the game, but will there be warhammers, or do we have a list of weapon types that will be in the game.

@zealous ibex Warhammer has been mentioned in livestreams as a usable weapon when giving examples relating to weapons. I wouldn't call it "officially" confirmed by there is strong evidence that it will be in the game.

@true junco Its going to be very extensive:
http://i.imgur.com/x7wV3fD.png
hope that helped.
@eternal imp No. the monster coin system is an event that will not grant you corruption points.
nor will you be able to loot, or lose exp when die.
Its more of a fun event that allows you to compete vs players and earn some rare cosmetics that will be only avialable trough the monster coin system.
hope that clarified it.
ivory marlin
<@&257269635559194625> i understand that, to be a master craftsman, you have to focus solely on that craft. for example, to be a master weaponsmith, you cant spend time mining or trying out other crafts such as carpentry. My question is, does this extend to combat/exploring? If i wanted to be a master weaponsmith, will i still be able to go out and enjoy the world, go dungeon-diving, maybe raid a few caravans, or will (nearly) all my time online have to be spent towards bettering my craft?
nimble wave
@ivory marlin As with any tree you'll have to pick a certain "build" to play with in terms of your skills.
Even the basic 2ndery class, is a choice.
You'll make these choices and you'll end up with a unique character that goes trough the world.
Religion will have same effect, youll pick 1 out of 10 dieites.
everything is choices, but that what makes it beautiful.
will certain choices lock you out of doing certain dungeons? NO
will it prevent you from taking part in PvP? NO
but your node choice, might, along with the quests you're preforming.
thats what will make the world beutiful.
You wont be able to explore everything, but the things that you will explore will feel unique and special.
and that is exactly thee kind of MMO ashes aspires to be.
(Unless you create 1000 alts and literally do EVERYTHING)
Hope that answered your question ^^
ivory marlin
sooo, basically, if i want to be a master craftsman, yes, i can still go dungeoning, but i wont be as good of a, say, fighter, than if i were splitting my time, or if i focused more on PVXing
nimble wave
@ivory marlin To further elaborate on that point.
Crafting will grant you EXP, they have answered this specific question on stream,
confirming that a pure "artisian" class playstyle will be viable,
meanig you'll be able to do PvX activities while being full crafter.
Again, it will all come down to your favorite playstyle.
ivory marlin
hmmmmm. ok. i have some decisions to make, then
covert smelt
Yes. Like life itself. Your choices define you but you are the one making the choices
nimble wave
@ivory marlin I've done extra research for you, this is intrepids answer I was refring to
http://i.imgur.com/9GEz82d.png
ivory marlin
thanks, that helps. so, basically, players will focus on one or the other, or do both, but then not be as good at either
nimble wave
Precicley, that way you can still reward the players that dedicate themselves to one purpose @ivory marlin
covert smelt
@ivory marlin There's definitely a distinction between pvx oriented and artisan oriented playstyles so yes. However, I would think that full commitment is just that extra gap separating a legendary craftsman from a proficient one
nimble wave
@ivory marlin The beest example I can give you, is that if someone chooses to be a master at sword carfting, he is limiting himself, forcing himsefl to trade with others and relying on market pricees that sometimes might not be in his favour.
so he is taking a risk, Intrepid wants to reward this type of playstyle instead of punshing it.
Again, it will all go down to the choices you make,
If you want to be a jack of all trades ,you'll benefit from not relying on the market, and if you're going to limit yourself, you'll produce the best qusllity speicifc item, if the market will allow it.
Hope that was clear.
ivory marlin
@nimble wave i got that part, but i was wondering if i could also go PvX and spend some quality time raiding, etc while also trying to becoming a master craftsman
nimble wave
@ivory marlin Defintley yes.
ivory marlin
i guess, i was hoping that crafting and combat would exist separately, and one could level both up without repercussions
trim hemlock
@ivory marlin My understanding is that you can be a master crafter and a max level raider, but you can't have two different artisan classes to max. So you would be either a weapon smith or an armor smith. If you choose to master neither then you could be an expert processor, armorsmith and weapon smith that can't make best in slot gear.
ivory marlin
@trim hemlock that is what im asking, and my hope
opal fiber

Sorry if it has been answered somewhere, but have they said anything about level scaling in dungeons? I know they said some dungeons won't be instanced so you can just walk into them. However how would it be affected if a max level player walks into a beginner dungeon in a party with a level 1 player?

<@&257269635559194625> is it possible to buy 2 kickstarter packages ?

<@&257269635559194625> I would really appreciate an answer to this one: The kickstarter packages include a lot of stuff, such as keys etc etc. Now not everyone wants or needs all of the things that they will end up with. Put that together with the fact that forums are reknowned for going a little quiet between ks and launch, I was hoping that we could see if we could encourage or set up backer/community run competitions, with unwanted ks items as rewards. However this would mean that we would have to be able to 'transfer'only part of any KS package, or a specific reward to another account. So my question? Will we be able to divide up your package and transfer parts to other accounts?

Hello everyone) said that the 5 megacities
And they will not be repeated, but the development of their current 4 (military, scientific, ethnomical and religious, and what will the Megepolis be then?
obsidian fractal
@austere egret metropolis number is limited to 5 in the world, but each of tham can be any type of the 4 avilable, meaning you can end up with 5 metropolises of the same type, its only up to hte players which type of cities they develop to metropolis 😃
nimble wave
@austere egret Just as Lucie beautifly explained the type of node has nothing to do with the maximum number.
To further clarify, It is said that there will be UP TO 5 nodes that reached metropolis level (maximum)
the thing is, it will all go down to Zone of Influence,
the way it works is, once a node advances, its zone of inflence grows, "swallowing" nodes into it and denying them growth.
because of this system, there could be only 5 usch metropolises without interfiering with one another.
So there could be 4 metropolises, and not 5, based on how the map and the leading nodes are structured.

<@&257269635559194625> What does persistent alpha mean?
nimble wave
@brave jay It means it will last until release
Basiclly, it will start, and keep on going until the release in 2020
later turning into the official testing servers
"presistant" is something that is always going

@nimble wave Thats what I was thinking but wasn't sure. Thank you!

<@&257269635559194625> since the KS went well past the 3 mil and 16000 backers, by 270k and 3.5k respectively, will there be another final say backer goal added for the above and beyond point. If not No biggie, I was just curious since it did kindof blow past the 16k by a fair margin 😃

<@&257269635559194625> When will the money be drawn from my card for the KS pledge?
crystal beacon
<@&257269635559194625> Much the same question as @silent bone only instead of more rewards for backers, can we have some exlusive competition prizes.... for comunity run competitions so we can drip feed and keep the lively forums going during development time?
nimble wave
@empty fjord 24 hour period.

I wish i could have won an alpha key i really want to play this game i am so excited for it just could not afford to pay anything the kickstarter is any other way i can get into the game alpha
nimble wave
@crystal beacon There are always giveaways.
please read this thread:
https://www.ashesofcreation.com/forums/#/discussion/6085/information-regarding-weekly-key-drawings
You can either get randomly selceted for signing up, or win it via contest (like being helpful, or the meme contest we had)
crystal beacon
Yeah been participating on forums but not having any luck i guess
I have 2 post so far
nimble wave
@crystal beacon Last week (week 19) was based on referals.
This week its random drawing,
week 20 might be a contest, just stay tuned!
nimble wave
@crystal beacon Yet its the best chance we have ^^
In the end of the day, the ideal scenario is for the game to be done to completion with the best result.
As much as we selfishley want to play the game to enjoy it ourselves, the real purpose of these stages is to give the team a proper feedback and help them balance and shape the game.
Unfortunatly, right now its your only option to get into the tests, maybe there will be more ways added later on.
If you'd like to discuss this further I suggest to use #aoc-discussion so we wont flud the channel, as it's purpose is questions to Intrepid studios and direct answers only.
Hope that was helpful.

@nocturne pivot New update:

sturdy jacinth
So, <@&257269635559194625> , how does using a weapon clearly designed for use by a different class work? Do our Fighters bludgeon people with their tomes, do Mages use their swords like lightningrods? Or, do the weapons themselves actually impact how the character plays? (Minor, possibly even visual-only magic in the case of the fighter, or, mages swinging their swords in melee despite not having a fighter subtype.)
sterile dune
<@&257269635559194625> (or other people here if I missed anything in the FAQ's etc), I have a few questions I hope you might be able to answer? 
1)For close friends/couples, can you either set permissions on your freehold so you can share it and decorate/develop it together, or perhaps link two (or more) plots next to each other together? Can couples or close friends share a city apartment? A lot of people who always play together are uninterested in developing and decorating two separate homes in MMO's.
- Can you play just one character effectively, or do alts give important benefits beyond trying out a different class? If you do want alts to give benefits, will there be a legacy system?
Basically if you're not into alts, will there be systems that make your only character weaker for it? To me, it would make sense to have alts on different servers to experience different world states and minimize repetitiveness, would that be more/less beneficial?
And finally, 3) if your chosen server turns out very different from your interests (let's say there's only economy and combat metropolises but you are more into science or religion, all the cities are in frozen/underground areas but you prefer jungles etc), will it be possible to transfer to a different server? And if so will there be a time- or money barrier to it?

<@&257269635559194625> will the KS rewards still be KS exclusive, or will they be avail on your home page "KS" thingy?

@humble mica its not up just yet, soon 😃

humble mica
Lol Thaks 😃
nimble wave
@sterile dune
- The freehold is owned by one character ONLY, not many.
the door will be able to have an option to lock the door and have access list.
So yes, you can allow certain infiduals in to use your house.
2)Having a main have its uses and having an alt have its uses, as an example, it will take a long time to truley masteer one artisian class, so if someone using alts, he may avoid having to deal with the market and buying from others, BUT he will have to invest double the time if he want his main and his alt to be in the same level as your one main character. The answers we've recieved from intrepid is that they are alt friendly, BUT, they want true masters to shine, "If every one is a master, then no one is" is the sentence I always quote. - YES there will be an option to transfer yourself, but it wont be an easy process.
That is all, hope I helped.

<@&257269635559194625> I pledged to KS for the exclusive rewards and to help with funding. If you guys are going to cut/paste those exclusive reward to the website for a month that is a bit shady and I will be issuing a charge back. I really hope that is not the case and it will be something like a slacker backer though.
rose breach
@ruby sleet its only for the people who dont have the right payment option so they can buy a package.

It is open to everyone on the website and still not an excuse to offer KS exclusives.

I'm not asking if it has it now, I've seen the question but will it ever be available to Linux users without using a Windows emulator in the future? This game looks amazing though so worth it to do so but would be interesting trying to get it set up while still so new.

sudden jungle
<@&257269635559194625> Just found the discord so not sure if it's been asked. From my understanding the players will be the primary political folks, kings, queens, mayors. Is it possible to "assassinate" a political leader and have an effect? I'd assume there would be other systems in place so if you're king and die in PvE or an arena or battleground that it wouldn't cause an issue.
rose breach
@sudden jungle We have no idea if they can get assasinated, Most likely this will not happen.
rare marten
<@&257269635559194625> As someone that pledged $ 500 or any amount even I'm not happy, because I had to work double shifts and a lot of extra time to get the money ... Just to hear it will go on for another month.. it's not cool, but what's done is done. I do beleive this was for a good cause to help the other people who could not pledge contribute in some way, but I don't think the " Ability to upgrade Kickstarter Packages " was a good move on the community.
novel ice
<@&257269635559194625> in regards to the crowdsourcing of your recent News, does this effectively mean that the exclusive Rewards packages will effectively no longer be exclusive rewards? If so this is a bad move to do after the Kickstarter ended and seems very un faithful to the ones who were led to believe that their pledges would remain something unique. Some clarification on what exactly this entails would be appreciated as some of us pledged highly (of course to support the vision here and the game) but with the notion that we would have unique cosmetics as a form of thanks.
rose breach
After the end of june they will not be able to get the kickstarter exclusive things.
novel ice
@Como
Ah okay. Will they also receive the kickstarter Backer rewards as well? (just out of curiosity)
rose breach
@novel ice Steven hasn't said anything about kickstarter backer rewards as of now. They will probably not get them since it is exclusive to kickstarter but its up to steven.
sharp fractal
Just pay for both. I know i will. Gimme all the things
novel ice
As long as people can't pick and choose specific kickstarter items after this, wether from cash shop or otherwise. Then I'm sure most people will be okay with this revelation.

@sudden jungle for military nodes you can kill the king and take his place. I doubt there's an effect of doing that for other types of nodes
rose breach
@keen grove Steven decides if the community needs mods. So its unpredictable.
cedar parrot
@sudden jungle Is it killing the king at any point? Like can me and my five friends kill him at his wedding and become king of the north? Or does it have to be honorable combat? Like in an arena (I imagine military nodes will have such things)
@keen sapphire ^ meant this above question for you

<@&257269635559194625> Where is Ashes of Creation going to be "based" in NA? I am not sure if this question has already been asked and answered, but i'm curious.

@cedar parrot I'd imagine it is more of an arena event that is activated at an end of ruling cycle. Otherwise it would be a nightmare for a military node king having to watch his back all the time, or getting ganged all the time...etc but i don't have any official details.

<@&257269635559194625>
This is more of a request than a question, but I wonder if your team has a plan to prevent the "extra rewards" on your forums page from turning into Star Citizen and it's own failings. From what you've already shown it's going to disappoint people if things get delayed, I believe I speak for many when I say it's Best not to fall into that hole and just focus on what you already have laid out for goals and cosmetics. Most of us are fine with the extending of packages for those who couldn't back on kickstarter with their limited payment options, but no new cosmetics or rewards should be created or designed. Let the extra cash go to ensuring quality over quantity of items offered. I know this is your decision for your Studio and team. But we all want to ensure the game actually becomes alive, putting to much of a demand on your team to fulfill more promises is dangerous. I think a Charity funding with no rewards or promises besides maybe some Intrepid studios shirts, or cups, would be best. But please don't over task the team, Star Citizen is a dark reminiscent of what happens. Thank you for reading. And Best of luck to you and the team for an amazing game!

Is this correct? Node "type" is pre set?Ashes of Creation Kickstarter Livestream May 19, 2017
/home/leaving?target=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.twitch.tv%2Fvideos%2F145224977" class="Popup mark 34:21
STEVEN: You're going to see that when nodes develop, they're going to have a base style template that's reflective of a few things:
It's going to be reflective of the race that is the primary founders of the node, and that's going to determine the architecture design and the types of buildings you're going to see, it's going to be determined by the type of node, whether it's military, divine economic or scientific. And those types of factors are going to come into the way the node appears initially. To Be more clear, Players do not have a say on if a Node is Military, Scientific, Divine or Economic in type?

<@&257269635559194625> Is it possible to change your forum name somehow?

@green forge I've seen someone request it and it was done. I'm not too sure if they still do it though
trim hemlock
@small marsh Players do have a say in what kind of node develps. It is the player base that chooses what buildings are built in the node. So if the player government decided to build a marketplace then the node would go down the path of economic. If they decided to build barracks so that mercenaries could be hired then it would be a more military driven node.

hi, guys! i don't know if this has been answered yet, but there's a LOT to scroll back through, so i'll ask it again! there seems to be a lot of differing opinions on the launch of the game vs launch of alpha. the first i recall hearing was that the projected launch was around dec 2018; then folk started saying that was the intended alpha launch. can you clear this up?
crystal beacon
<@&257269635559194625> You know people wouldn't be upset over the Kickstarter if they/we had known there was an extended period? So why did you not tell us earlier, and charge us then? You seem to really be punishing us for pledging at the beggining, and not waiting. Why didn't you guys give us, credit card backers, more time too? It seems really unfair that you're taking our money then, right after extending the time I'm pretty sure all of us would have pledged higher if that was the case. I know some people that struggles getting a pledge from you guys, it seems like a big way to punish us. So do you have any explantion of why atleast charging us and not waiting after June Ends???
Edit: I also understand you never expected to be this much funded but I'm pretty sure mid way you could have told us, not exactly after it makes a lot of us feel tense since it was legit right after Kickstarter ended not even before. I feel like the problem is the fact that they made it seem like it just happended rather than say it ahead of time. kinda makes one lose trust. We personally need an answer from you guys <@&257269635559194625> because I can't really trust anyones word but yours. Settling for less seems dishonarable.
green mica
<@&257269635559194625> Will items listed as "KickStarter Exclusives" actually be kickstarter exclusives? Or will they be available on your website throughout June? As someone that pledged $1000, I find it a bit misleading if so.
thin heart
@green mica Steven said they will be for June as well.
green mica
@thin heart I understand that, but that was said after the campaign :/ as a backer, I was under the impression that a kickstarter exclusive meant it was only available through backing the kickstarter.

<@&257269635559194625> We heard there will be holiday festivals, and we also know a lot of MMO's celebrate holidays for an entire month in real time. Now with the way in-game time is implemented, will holday festivals only last 1 season (1 week) or 1 in-game year (1 month)?
acoustic hatch
<@&257269635559194625> You said before that after Kickstarter there will be no more ways to get packs or a access to Alpha\Beta.
I'm understand why you extend it till July(another payment method).
And my question is - After June, will there be more chances or this will be the last? I mean "to buy" not some "raffles".

<@&257269635559194625> I was one of the people affected by the problem with kickstarter. So i had to downgrade my pledge from a higher one because of the missing payment models in europe. My Question now: Will there be upgrades you offer to the pledge someone already did? Or do i need to pledge a second time to get the pack i want and if, can i combine two pledges on one account or gift things from one pledge to other people ? And a BIG THANKS for extending so i can finally get the pledge i wanted without kickstarters payment limits.

@EffToyz#8255 i know some section will be block off with snow and some sections open that you can't get to in other seasons , but i see what you mean think there still looking into stuff like that as underrealm has open up a whole differnt ball game as effect will be less ans can't rain or snow underground . but i see your point

green robin
yeah normaly done by e-mail .others have not got a conforation e-mail either but he should be good
zealous ibex
@crystal beacon To be fair,
A: The Kickstarter was there, it had a set date. If you paid for your package, you get that package when the 'event' on the actual kickstarter ended. They did the kickstarter on a seperate website, so it's likely they couldn't just "Oh let's pull out of kickstarter because people from other countries are having problems making payments because they don't accept paypal." And I'm pretty sure Kickstarter doesn't allow that.
B: Now it's on their own website, they extended it on their own website because of the fact that there are people from other countries wanting to get in on the kickstarter rewards, kickstarter doesn't accept Paypal, so the people from other countries don't have any way of putting money into the kickstarter.
C: It has been asked, a million and one times if you can upgrade if you went through kickstarter. YOU CAN UPGRADE FROM YOUR CURRENT PACKAGE TO A HIGHER ONE AFTER THE KICKSTARTER IS MOVED TO THE ASHES OF CREATION WEBSITE
D: If They were to drop the kickstarter because of the people who were unable to pay because they were in other countries, I'm sure there would be a lot more mistrust / 'the need for an answer' and I dunno about you, but I personally think they handled this situation excellently, and anyone who is complaining about "Losing trust" in Intrepid studios should put on their big boy pants because it doesn't really hurt them. Unless you're paying for something that you don't have the money to pay for, and the extension was "Oh, I could've waited until next paycheck!" for you. In that case, you should probably focus on supporting yourself and showing your support for the game in other ways.
crystal beacon
@zealous ibex it was already answered
By Intrepid but thanks for your opinion
And you used alot of you's like if I was the only person 🤔 that felt that way
past spindle
Yes I understand I can upgrade my package to a higher one, what I'm asking is if I do so through the website do I lose the kick starter exclusive stretch goal items, eg: backer dye's and skill fx
crystal beacon
No
zealous ibex
Nope
crystal beacon
You don't
zealous ibex
But, a safe thing to do in case something were to happen, is archive the email saying: "You did this on kickstarter!" that happened after the kickstarter ended, and take screenshots of stuff and this and that
Just in case, that way you have a way to show the devs "Hey, I'm being legit here and was a part of the kickstarter so that I could get the rewards"
crystal beacon
And @zealous ibex your argument have holes I don't want to explain why because I got the answer already but
zealous ibex
@past spindle
crystal beacon
Just that my qurstion was a majority
Of people
That ik were stressed because of this
You're standpoint was also agressive and not much facts
zealous ibex
I don't really see how it has any holes, and you misuse the term "Majority" a "Majority" implies that it is at least 51% of the population of all 18 something thousand people were upset about it. I also replied to mostly each and every concern you posted.

<@&257269635559194625> When you put new gear on will it show on your character. I ask because in the multiple mage videos I have seen she has the same red gear on lol would like to see different gear say some purple gear 😄
valid stirrup
So, this kickstarter extension through their site is only being done for the month of June correct? I feel like if they're going to potentially extend it again they should probably state that somewhere early so people don't get confused.
blissful canyon
@valid stirrup they said this will be the last extension
valid stirrup
Ah aight, thanks for clarity.
turbid parrot
@Karrosh#2744 Yes it will show different gear, I belive they hit on this point in one of their streams. Same with certain items in your inventory such as potions and what not will show on your character if you choose. Plus if you like that base gear the mage has, it can be dyed to be purple if you so desire. There are some images of the backer gear you get like the founder set, royalty set, etc. It was shown on the kickstarter page.
dreamy cove
<@&257269635559194625> will there be an exploration profession
simple ledge
So I had a question. As a long time EQ player is this going to be easy mode like modern day MMO's or back to a Risk/Reward with exp lose and a sense of self preservasion?
sorry exp loss and group preservation
hollow crow
hello, @mortal grotto. i don't think it's going to be harsh with death penalties, though those will exist; but it's also not gonna be a roflstomp
they're trying for a happy medium between "engaging" and "challenging"
i mean, how many bosses have you fought whose only real mechanic was a bajillion hp?
simple ledge
well quite a few... you ever play EQ? There were a ton of mechanics you had to have a whole raid co-ordinate on
hollow crow
i didn't play eq, so i can't answer that aspect of your question, but i do (lovingly) remember the first time of stepping into new dungeons and raids in new games, and literally crying over trying to beat bosses
i miss that
simple ledge
I just miss the danger..... most modern MMO's you die no big deal. I want the sense of adventure and death to mean something again
I miss the 3 hour corpse run, the many guilds racing to a raid boss, and the first one to engage, gets the chance at it
the trains.... even the guild drama
covert smelt
@simple ledge I think that while bosses will be challenging, the death penalty won't be severe as stated above. If dying is so harsh then there'll be low incentive to actually participate in pve unless you're quite hardcore. So the general environment will likely be like standard mmos where it's a bit tough to go out alone but manageable if you're skilful. World bosses will be of epic proportions though
There's going to be drama
Tons of it
And guilds
hollow crow
and! @prhoot, did you see the monster coin thingie???
covert smelt
Rushing
hollow crow
@covert smelt, i think the drama will dissipate as people settle in, and others leave. just my opinion 😃
covert smelt
@hollow crow I'm talking about drama over raid and world bosses
You'll want to get there first obviously
hollow crow
oh, @covert smelt , i gotcha
simple ledge
Dying isn't that harsh if you lose exp... it builds a community and group mentality..... It get people to group up and overcome
subtle temple
<@&257269635559194625> If you pledge through the website, will you be charged immediately or will there be a delay until the end of the pledge period (like kickstarter)?
covert smelt
@simple ledge yea if you die you lose exp I'm pretty sure (or as they put it, you gain experience debt which is almost the same thing)
You lose durability too
For gear
simple ledge
Everquest is going on it's 13th year? You die, you lose exp. You group and raid and get it back... also rezes help to get that exp back.... but it's all about the community and group you play with
zealous ibex
In terms of the entire repairing ordeal, will armorsmiths / weaponsmiths be the core of repairing the equipment of other players, or will there be NPC's that do that?
covert smelt
@simple ledge I mean considering the staff at intrepid comprises of people from EQ, it's likely to feel somewhat familiar
simple ledge
I'm not trying to be a jerk.... I just want some excitement in MMo's again
And that Shuzii is what makes me have hope!
covert smelt
Haha yep
simple ledge
😃
hollow crow
@mortal grotto I don't think you're bein' a jerk, lol! i get where you're coming from 😃
simple ledge
I just miss the old days when you lived and died by what your friends do, and you all suffered together. Nothing brought a group together like all losing a level and having to play your best to avoid that
Even tho frustrating, camping a mob and having somebody train a whole zone on you just to kill you so they could get the mob..... That was fun too now that i miss it
hollow crow
@mortal grotto again, i do get that. however, a large portion of interested folk are also explorers and solo players; they don't want the game to be so challenging that those players can't also enjoy themselves
and i will never miss that in any game
simple ledge
You can solo.... just have to choose the right class? Not every class should be able to solo to a certain extent. That's what builds the community
hollow crow
that's a restriction i wouldn't be happy with. i'd prefer to be able to solo, slowly or quickly based on my character, but still solo when i want to
cuz trust me, as a gm, there are times i just really don't wanna deal with folk lol
simple ledge
but do you have your core group of friends that you play with?
crystal beacon
Guys this channel isn't meant for conversations, please ask your question and take your discussion elsewhere! 😄
hollow crow
sorry @crystal beacon , thanks for the reminder!
simple ledge
Sorry Libera, thought it was a good convo. Can't get a good conversation in the other channels cause it turns into... well something
nimble wave
@simple ledge @covert smelt @hollow crow Sorry but all 3 of you are wrong :3
If you die, you do not lose EXP.
there is an EXP dept instead, based on the condition of how you died (if you are corrupted you gain 3x debt, if you combatant that fought back you gain debt of 1x and if you didnt fight you gain a debt of 2x)
This dept will prevent you from leveling up and make you weaker, forcing you to earn it back to return to the "normal" state.
http://i.imgur.com/IirPTpt.png
So there is a heavy punihsment when you die, but you do not lose EXP, rather gain a dept you have to earn back (you cant leevel down).
Hope I helped ^^
In addition as Liberra mentioned, please keep all the discussions to #aoc-discussion and reserve this channel for questions for Intrepid and directed answers to otheer memberes
hollow crow
thank you @nimble wave 😃
simple ledge
That's cool, but is there a benefit to grouping or just go at it solo? I mean can i go out and be a loaner or would there be a benefit to making friends and joining a group.
I do really like that
I mean i do really like that mechanic.... that's pretty awesome
nimble wave
@simple ledge The way the game is being designed right now, you can play as a solo player if you want!
BUT you will miss out on some content. There will be solo dungeons, but there will be group dungeons aswell,
so like with any extreme, you're restricting yourself.
http://i.imgur.com/ABcrJfp.png
http://i.imgur.com/p0187Wx.png
Hope that clarified it.
crystal beacon
Being a solo player is do-able but there are certainly benefits to grouping up, getting a house within a node and playing with a guild, there will be more/different content that wouldn't be accesible on your own.
Now please, if you do have anymore questions @Phroot#1310 , please ask them at #community_helpdesk as that's where we'll be able to answer all those kind of questions without flooding this channel which is meant for the dev's.
little canyon
<@&257269635559194625> can a player siege another player's house? and take over the spot?
nimble wave
@little canyon After a successful siege, you can break other players freeholds.
YET, you will not be able to "loot" from it. and you will not be able to gain anything,
just break it to free the spot.
little canyon
im not talking about an all out siege on the town of a node im talking about sieging a household only
simple ledge
Thank you for the answers. I didn't know this was a dev channel? But since the game isn't out, who better to answer questions?
zealous ibex
Is there anyone who knows the answer to my previous question?

@little canyon No. You cant just siege or raid a house.

@zealous ibex Repairs will be handled by the PLAYERES, further devloping hte economy
@zealous ibex http://i.imgur.com/Fb3msfB.png
little canyon
so crafters doesn't earn anything from giving out repair service? cuz based on what steven said it seems like there will be some sort of anvil or an interactable object in smithys and other players can just drop by and repair their stuff using that
zealous ibex
Wonderful. Also, another question about the seiging / freeholds. Will freeholds be terribly difficult to obtain? And so that picture is stating about the crafter's shop is what hosts the repair through that unique UI feature I've heard about previously?
nimble wave
@little canyon In order to repair a certain piece of equipment you'll have to earn and learn the erequired skill,
So not everyone will be able to just repair your gear, you'll have to provide materials needed AND pay the fees that the craftsmen asks for repairing.
simple ledge
ok... question. Is there fast travel in the world?
nimble wave
@simple ledge No. there is not fast travel in AoC
HOWEVER, if you advance a scientific node to a metropolis, youll be able to use portals to fast travel within its ZOI

nimble wave
@zealous ibex The exact amount is still unknown but you'll have to put some resources.
Freeholds are freely placed as long as the map allows it (not on roads\ obstacles etc).
and you're not the one repairing the item, the owner of the store does. (to further develop the economy)

Steven - Today at 10:14 AM
Do not take anything on that staging area seriously, it was set up as a demonstration by Backerkit of the functionality of their software and are not indicative of the add ons that will be made available 😉 Also, We may not even be going with Backerkit. We plan to launch the June event this Monday/Tuesday and will give an anouncement when it is ready to launch
craggy panther
<@&257269635559194625> So in the email i recived Via kickstarter Steven said even though the KS is over you will be doing a 30 day period through june for more crowd sourcing for those that were unable to pledge via KS. The question is for us that did pledge via KS, (Email Quote"We will have the ability for Kickstarter pledges to be upgraded as well, if you wish"), so for example I pledged the Braver of worlds package, and want to go up to the leader of men package even though the KS is over, how do I do that, and do I recive the rewards from the Leader of men package. I looked at the website for ashes but was unable to find how to do this? Thanks in advance
trim hemlock
@craggy panther Yes you will be able to upgrade your pacakage to a higher tier and recieve all of the benefits of that higher package. The KS upgrade system wont start until after the June crowd funding has concluded.

<@&257269635559194625> Is it too late to change the combat of the game? Couldn't you potentially leave the hybrid and go straight to action combat like how Crowfall fixed their combat? I think you can always change the way combat works, as long as you get the base game done and all the systems working, comment should be worked on the most seeing as how it's a key factor for lots of MMO players.
trim hemlock
@crystal beacon They are still in pre-alpha so the combat that we have seen from the videos is only about 5% done.

I really hope the combat is good, I don't want to play a great game with poor combat
ionic oar
<@&257269635559194625> Because of the local market and no global AH and no groupfinder ingame, i think playercommunities will open their own websites with these mechanics, since it makes the game easier and players will always go the easiest/fastest way. Is it intended to make the community deal with that kind of features by themself or how is your opinion to this kind of websites that works in some way as an opposite of the gamefeatures?
zenith heron
<@&257269635559194625> i know it is now possible to upgrade ks packages. how do i do that?
nimble wave
@zenith heron In the next few days a system will go up on the website. patience is key ^^
@ionic oar The thing is, while you can "trade", you cant trade to a point where its benefitial.
Since there is no fast travel, in order to pruchase the goods in the amount which will be benefitial, you'll have to run caravans (to deliver enough goods to be worth it). The method you described of 3rd party sites will not secure the caravans arrival and if anything they will open the world to know that they posses these goods, leading the bandits straight to them (sincee anyone will be able to see who is trading what).
Hope that clarified it.
ionic oar
@nimble wave thats a good point, but that also affect just alot of ressources that are difficult to transport, what about rare equip that you want to buy from other players? Thats would be still much easier to find and get the lowest price with a global market. Also if you need to craft something that uses alot of materials, why not craft it there where you bought the materials and just transport the item that you crafted? There are still alot of options to benefit from this websites that offers global market. A global group finder on a website would split for the areas where u are and what group you are looking for, but you would no need to check the town for the group and work on other things while searching for one. Also here are still enough benefits to have a group finder.

There will be code so you can apply it to your aoc account. They will send it at some point.

Oh Alright
nimble wave
@ionic oar Without turning this into a discussion, which I love to do I just dont feel that its the right place.
This is Intrepids take on it:
http://i.imgur.com/5Gv2fWG.png
In other words, they believe that because of fast travel disabled, it will be extremly limited. with the caravan system that I mentioned.
They will not implement a global market because they are against it, and they were clear about it.
The closest thing in the game that got implemented is the bulletin board:
http://i.imgur.com/jALWO1A.png
It seems that Intrepid are confindent that the fast travel and their caravan system would be enough to handle the global 3rd party trading.
So it seems, altho your worry is legitimate, Intrerpid are not going to implement it into the game.
While not what you expected, I hope the information that I provided was atleast somewhat helpeful.
^^
halcyon fractal
I have a question on the temperature of AoC . I saw on a Q&A that the it will affect the environment but at what point? Like on of the examples i saw was with the water becoming ice, but will the temperature affect the players or even events like per example a caravan leaves a town in a sunny Day, then later on that Day ,there is a tremendous storm that hits the caravan road that Makes the caravan slower to the points it's stop until a better moment ( sorry for my english, im from the french canadian part)
nimble wave
@halcyon fractal While not specificly caravans, it has been mentioned that weather will affect more then the graphical aspect of the game.
an example of skills was given. certain skills will have benefits in certain seasons.
This is the information that was given to us:
http://i.imgur.com/hASmjjq.png
So while not specificly "stop the caravan" you can safley assume that caravans will have to takee different routes.

If you would find it better to address this on a more grand scale that would be good to. But if a Date in itself could not be given a ballpark figure would also be nice aswell. Thank you for the hard work as always.
halcyon fractal
I asked the question just a bit earlier my freind so you can have an answer quick
crystal beacon
and that is?
ionic oar
@nimble wave Thanks for pointing these things out. But my question is NOT, if they will add a global trading system or a group finder into the game. My question is, what is their opinion on these websites, that works in opposite way of how the game wants to run. For example, will they tolerate them and say if communities want to spend time and effort on that, fine for us. Or will they try to eliminate the benefits of this external websites with patches/change of gamemechanics, so their ingame local market system and no group finder is still the only way for players to go, with his own pro and cons of course.
halcyon fractal
@crystal beacon from Sardini : There will be code so you can apply it to your aoc account. They will send it at some point.
rocky roost
@ionic oar I'm not sure how these websites would accomplish what you are asking. Local markets (auction houses) allow trade but are fundamentally limited by the resources surrounding the node. This is the point of the caravan system. Traders will move resources to areas that lack them to make profit. Websites won't have access to auction data, as doing so would allow addons to scrape the auction house and min/max profiteering. This creates a mandatory addon to be a successful trader. With regard to group finding, there are meeting points for groups to sign up for specific challenges/dungeons but there isn't a group finder tool. A website has no ability to pull data from this, so yes you could sign up to a site and look for a group, but is that easier than using the meeting sign/node chat/guild chat/discord? All of these will be more effective and reach a larger audience, quicker. So no websites like you mention won't be a thing.

<@&257269635559194625> There is tax from nodes and controling guild get tax from nodes, but is it gonna be fair and stop possible abuse from guild leader so tax system is gonna work in that way that tax is split between members of guild who control that node? There is so many cases where guild leader give only some members higher amount of "gold" and to others small amount of "gold".
ionic oar
@rocky roost if the websites are made well, fast access and easy to use, then yes. They can be alot easier to use than scrolling in chats, running to the townboard and look out for ppl who write something u are looking for, even more the bigger the community is. It would be alot easier for the websites by having access to API, but even without that, its a big advantage just to have an extra website to announce about your goods for all players on the whole server and where players can go to, to get these ressources/items. It doesnt prevent you from doing it ingame and on the website on same time and just delete your sign on the website/townboard if u have found what you were looking for. Its a good topic for a discussion, but i have no intention to start a discussion for this topic here, maybe the forum would be a better place for that. I just want to know from <@&257269635559194625> what is their opinion to these websites and how they want to deal with them.
olive kraken
@opaque cradle actually the Guild leaders won't be able to cash it out or similiar instead theyre will be functions or possibilities for the guild leaders to directly invest the taxes in perhaps guards, or a new building etc.
torpid rover
<@&257269635559194625> When it comes to participating in open dungeons will there be friendly fire? Is loot personal if not in the same group while killing a boss or other creature in the open world?
rocky roost
@ionic oar If someone makes a website that has exposure to a larger proportion of the playerbase than in-game mechanisms then potentially it could be useful. I am skeptical such a site would exist, when a sub-forum on the official site would achieve these criteria. From what Intrepid have previously discussed, do not expect API access to market places. The main issue will be the actual transport of goods, so these websites would just act as an advertisement pool to introduce buyers/sellers. I personally see chat channels, node advertising boards, discord and the forums being more than enough to achieve this. To specifically answer your question though there would be no issue that I can see in Intrepid allowing you to use third-party websites to advertise as buyers and sellers as you suggest.
nimble wave
@torpid rover The "open world" dungeons are free for anyone to enter, the loot distribution is yet to be unkown.
but if you're worrying about people PKing others just to gain more loot, they have stated previously that they are tending to be anti murder-box.
NOW, regarding "friendly fire" there will be no such thing as friendly fire, you will be able to target people that arent within your party\group.
So if you want to kill someone within those dungeons, you'll have to be able to flag them for attack first.
Hope that answered your question.
torpid rover
@nimble wave A misunderstanding on friendly fire if player A mage is coming into an open area and is flagged for pvp Players B C D are tackling a boss and Player A wants to hit the boss before it dies and uses AoE does this hit all the melee ranged players attacking the boss that are not flagged PvP This is not targeting any player but just the boss and its minions if it has any
nimble wave
@torpid rover This will be true, if he is not part of their party, yes.
he will hit everyone.
torpid rover
@nimble wave this also plays into caravan fights and node attacks as well there may be no "friendly fire" per-se but is there residual damage from a player using AoE or multitarget spells and/or abilities(cleaves) that would effect surrounding players that may or may not be in the same group
nimble wave
You will hit ANY player that isnt in your party\guild\alliance based on your flagging settings. yes.
torpid rover
@nimble wave so this is a deterrant to participating in open world raids and such
nimble wave
@torpid rover This is how the flagging system works:
http://i.imgur.com/RZbZ0B1.png
and they mentioned, as I stated before, they dont want a murder box:

Hope that answered the question regarding friendly fire ^^

Thank you ^^
@frozen palm Regarding the question you had, you'll still need to a) have the materials to build that freehold (10x fold what a regular player would, since you own 10 alts) and B) which is the biggest problem, you'll have to pay taxes to the Goveernment (node) that controls the ZOI you're freehold is located, so again, 10x times the taxes, or your house will get decayed.

<@&257269635559194625> I'm sure the map will be very large, but in terms of freeholds / stalls, how do you plan to account for the amount of people who might end up playing and the possibility of plotable land becoming scarce or being filled up?
rose aspen
So you guys said cities will have aritecture that makes sense for the race that has contributed the most what happens if a city's contribution is switched from human to say orc does the city change at that point or does future buildings take from the orcs or is it entirely who contributed most until it became a village
nimble wave
@rose aspen First of all, as you stated, race will have an affect on the Architecture.
the way the system works is, whenever the node develops (levels up, or a strucutre is raised) there is a contribution marker based on race, whoever has the most contribution at THAT time (could be understood from the sentencee "...the predominant racial marker WAS...").
http://i.imgur.com/OxwVNTw.png
However, note that "development" also include the advancment of the node, which will be most likley the highest form of change. Hope that clarified it ^^

<@&257269635559194625> I was curious if any of the staff would be interested in helping me moderate the AOC_Roleplaying subreddit? I know that the main AOC sub took all employees down as mods for a sense of impartiality, but I have less concern for that in the roleplaying section. I plan to be aggressive in building an RP community as more lore is revealed and have used my writing skills in the past to help foster others creative sparks during past MMOs. I don't have a ton of experience messing with reddit from the mod side though, and I don't want a poor user interface to discourage the community.
glad stratus
<@&257269635559194625> @hollow fiber Deathsproxy is unanimously voted the best interview you had during the KS campaign. In one of his videos he stated he KS'd the game at the 500 dollar level, however if he could have afforded it he really wanted the 1,000 dollar leader of men package (Since he wants the Guild leader perks). Considering he probably brought in at least 10x the amount it would cost him to get the 1k package (He was the reason I backed at the 150 mark) I think giving him a 1k package would be a great gesture to the community. + who wouldn't want him to be a Guild Leader. 😃

- will there be somewhat non lore friendly costumes (i guess things like cute costumes and not just a set of plate armour)
- will there be any vehicles
timber isle
I pray to all the 10 gods of this game that the answer is no
They do mention that they want to put a focus into PvE, PvP and RP.
All of what you mentioned will break immersion and ruin RP

What's your plan / timing to work on the UI of the game? Who is lead UI designer? It's a very important aspect of an MMO. Bad UI = Bad experience.
ocean forum
<@&257269635559194625> if I remember correctly you said that you still can´t say anything about the system requirements. But can you already make a rough guess on what we´ll need to play it with higher settings? Just like "gtx 1070" or higher and "16GB ram" or higher? That´d help very much 😃
nimble wave
@rapid gate Regrding the question,
- I've not played arch age so I have no clue what exactly are you talking about, youll have to wait for someone who is Intrepid staff to reply to that (or maybe someone with more knowldge on AA)

The final question was regarding cars, the game many mounts to choose from a car, again, would completly brake immersion. That being said, maybe scientific nodes will be able to have machinery and inventions, but no confirmed answer regarding machinary in the game yet.
Hope that was helpful
@high whale They said the UI will be very adaptble to your playstyle:
http://i.imgur.com/29eXMCm.png
Now with that being said, they also mentioned that they wont allow ADD-ONs to the game, with the promise, that the way the game is being designed, most of the needed ones will be included.
No information regarding who in particular is working on UI.

rough oasis
Hi there a question:). i see a lot of people that are talking purely about pvp, can you just confirm that in the game there will be plenty of pve content as well, just like dungeions, raids, and world bosses . thanks
vernal island
@rough oasis There will be plenty of non-PvP activities for players to level with and support their node with.
rough oasis
ok thanks, so am i right in saying that the game will be a complete mix of pvp and pve ?
vernal island
@rough oasis Yup, there will be the usual dungeons, raids and monsters to kill for PvE alongside the various professions like mining, fishing and smithing too.
For PvP so far we've seen the usual WPvP and also caravan raids which are essentially like moving PvP zones that can be attacked/defended to try and steal the shipments.
It's a world where PvP is always going to be a risk but it's not going to be something that you're going to be forced into and there are plenty of ways to contribute to guilds and nodes (collecting resources, making gear, etc.) without actually fighting.

frozen palm
<@&257269635559194625> Since we will become a Citizen of a particular Node, will all of our XP gains go towards that Node, or the Node we're adventuring in? I ask because Dungeons, for example, will be spread through-out the world. Thus, be travelling to experience other content, I could potentially be helping "enemy" Nodes.

There are a few factors to that @frozen palm and it's important to note that as a citizen of a node you can indeed contribute to the development of other nodes.

Gotcha, thanks.
wheat kraken
I'm not sure if this has been asked before and I apologize if it has, will there be any dungeon/raid frames that we can use for healing (like healbot) not an addon but integrated into AoC, Thanks
vernal island
@wheat kraken They've told us already that they won't be supporting addons.
Since they aren't supporting add-ons though they have promised that all the usual popular addon functionality that people need to download add-ons for in other games will be built into the default toolset that we get.
They believe that we shouldn't have to download third-party add-ons to work around a UI that doesn't work very well.

@vernal island thanks very much, so much to read through that I haven't been able to get through it all.

Quick question will there be more meme contests in the future?
zealous jolt
I'm not sure if this is asked already, but is how does the timing of when the siege takes place work in terms of rl life time? Would it be possible for a guild to time a siege so that it hits another guild in the dead of night (or during work hours)on their timezone? Or is there some choice involved on both sides regarding the timing on when a siege takes place?
trim hemlock
@zealous jolt Sieges have a long ramp up time so that the city that is being attacked has time to prepare for the siege. So if the siege is going to start at 2am then it is part of preperation for the defenders to either hire defense or make sure that people will be online to defend.
vernal island
@zealous jolt once a siege is initiated there is a preperation time before the siege actually takes place.
Stage 3: Village - 2 days
Stage 4: Town - 3 days
Stage 5: City - 4 days
Stage 6: Metropolis - 5 days
This means defenders will have time to prepare a defence and they won't be left completely blindsided by all the magical siege weapons that appear out of nowhere.
zealous jolt
And how long does a seige take once it is underway?(assuming, no instant win conditions are done)
pure timber
<@&257269635559194625> We know there will be a limit of 5 Metroplis in the game, how far can other nodes progress as far as Expedition / Encampment / Village / Town / City?
wanton gust
<@&257269635559194625> island nodes?
pure timber
@zealous jolt during one Q&A they used a number of 2 hours for a siege. I am sure this is still in discussion though.
vernal island
@zealous jolt It takes until either the attackers or defenders complete their objective, they've talked about a time limit too but they've not settled on one yet.
Attackers must fight their way into the city centre, remove the defender flag and hold the area for a certain length of time whilst raising their own.
Defenders must fight their way into the siege camp, kill the NPC siege commanders and burn the siege weapons/tents over another certain amount of time (5mins or so channeled)
green robin
@Poison😘#9299 depends on map of world and balance on the node
@pure timber if you have a city and metroplis are maxed you will have you attack a metroplis to delevel it
strong talon
<@&257269635559194625> @loud pinerey will thirdparty addons be allowed for AoC?
vernal island
@strong talon No
They don't want players to be in a position where they are forced to use third-party addons to be able to complete.
They plan on adding all of the functionality that usually comes with the popular addons from other games and making it highly customisable so we can arrange everything in a way that we like.
strong talon
Do the majority of the community want to ability to write scripts?
vernal island
That's not something that they've asked so they wouldn't be able to know - they've already made their stance clear when it comes to add-ons though.
They will support the functionality that many of the 'necessary' add-ons have and built them into the game itself but they want to avoid a situation in which players are forced to download external add-ons to compete which is why they aren't allowing add-ons and scripting as a whole.
They've said it's not completely off the table but it's not something that they are looking to do at the moment as they hope that their default UI and setup will provide the correct tools for players and offer enough customisation that add-ons won't be needed.
olive kraken
@strong talon player written scripts and bibliothecs will definitly be a thing!
zealous ibex
<@&257269635559194625> I also wanted to ask about and expand on @bold walrus 's question about healing, will healers in Ashes of Creation be your typical firehose healers or will they be a hybrid of damage / healing? Will there be the trinity of roles or will it be similar to everyone has to bring their own potions / self healing? Will cooldowns for heals be drastic enough to warrant having to use healing abilities with caution?
nimble wave
@wanton gust Yes. Island nodes, yes.
http://i.imgur.com/5hXYdha.png
BUT, as mentioned, players will have to develop them.
So you'll pretty much will have to have a pretty determined group of people ^^
wanton gust
@nimble wave coming 2 my rescue 😮
nimble wave
@pure timber The answer to your question lies within your understand of ZOI (Zone of Influence)
Each node has a ZOI around it, any action that is preformed in this nodes ZOI will allow the node to gain EXP towards growth.
Now, lets take a scneario of 2 nodes, both level 4 nodes, once one of the nodes levels up, its ZOI grows and its "swallows" the other node within its ZOI. and now, all the actions that are prefromed in the swallowed node, will go towards thee bigger, now stage 5 node.
So in othere words, the reason they said "up to 5 metropolises" is because that these 5 will most likley swallow the whole entire map with their ZOI, denying other nodes from leveling up or gaining any EXP and growing.
If that is understood, the last thing that is left to do is answer your question.
If we will only able to produce 5 metropolises, how many of the other types would we be able to produce?
Well, if we follow the same "swallow" ZOI rule, the higher the level of the node the more scarce it is. because low level nodes will be common (theey will usually will get denied development from another big node ZOI so they will "forever" (until the big nodee is sieged and deleveled, thus releasing its ZOI from somee nodes) remain small.
So, the rule of logic would be, the higher the level of the node, the more rare it is.
AGAIN, it will all come down to how the map plays out with the players, so you may expect these number vary alot from server to server.
for more questions on ZOI and nodes I highly advise PMing me.
Hope I was atleaset somewhat clear and helpful.
barren stag
@crystal beacon I want to become part of leadership for a Divine node, how do I go about finding that type of node day one?
I don't want to waste my time building up a node I'm not interested in
nimble wave
@barren stag So your question have two parts,
The first part is: How does one becomee a leader of a divine node?
The answer is: he has most contribution to the specific divine node he is trying to become the leader of.
In other words, do quests that are given by that node, thus raising his contribution.
The second question you asked is:
How the heck can I know if Im helping a divine node?
the answer is simple: It will be very noticable from the start

turbid crater
@crystal beacon There will be a built in voice chat for parties and raids and they have states maybe even on for guilds but they aren't going to do a proxy based voice chat at all, reason being they don't want to break the immersion factor, not to mention since it's a open world based game a general chat for be so annoy and loud in the major cities/nodes because everyone would be talking in voice chat instead of typing so I for one don't want a proxy based voice chat but having one for guilds would be awesome, but all they have confirmed is party/raid voice chat in game
crystal beacon
@turbid crater That could be solved by allowing players to turn on/off proxy chat. You could literally create a settings menu for it that allows a player to customize what they hear; when they hear it; and where they hear it.

Nobody has an answer to the healer question?
crystal beacon
@zealous ibex We don't know much about healing right now. Yes, there is going to be a trinity of roles with Intrepid's own variations on it. If you look at the mage videos, one of the questions is, "I noticed there was a lot of instant cast or moving spells, and that there was not a lot of standing still." The devs shared that they think standing still is boring.
One of the frequent feedback from the community healers has been, "Please don't make us play the UI. Clicking on profiles and healing whack-a-mole style is not fun." I think this has been acknowledged by the devs.
I have not seen anything on potions, but there is cooking buffs.

<@&257269635559194625> Will you guys be releasing a single player demo like Everquest did before its live release? I'm only asking because you said you guys have people who worked on Everquest working with you, and I feel that a single player demo released after the invite only Alpha this year, would allow people to get a feel for the game, and in turn, hype it even more.
trim hemlock
@crude kelp I believe I heard Steven mention open Beta in the final livestream, could have been a slip of the tongue, but if they have an open Beta then people will definetly have a chance to test out the game before release.
crude kelp
No no, so I musn't have explained properly, before Everquest had it's beta.. They released a single player tutorial like area that you could do a few quests, kill a few mobs and level up to level 10 as one of the 3 main classes at the time.. It was downloadable and took about 45 mins to an hour to complete (if you did everything) but you could then restart it and do it all over again.
true junco
@crude kelp if there is a open beta where everyone will have the chance to log in and try what would tyhe point of releasing a single player mode be ?
crude kelp
Open beta will be years from now, a single player demo would allow us to play it earlier in a single player status, and be able to show and hype the demo to others who can then download and try it out and get on board.

open beta will be around the end of this year

In Ashes how do you plan to keep melee dps classes competitive in 1v1 or small scale combat vs ranged classes with predominantly instant cast spells, fire on-the-go, and collision mechanics. Are melee dps and tank classes going to be a severe disadvantage in said combat without choosing a ranged subclass? Just concerned about infinite kiting from ranged classes.

<@&257269635559194625> How big of a role will the cash shop have in the game? Safe to say you won't sell a competitive boost, but how about vanity items?
Looking at what the kickstarter provides and considers 
, it seems like most the things you'd 'show off' in town (cool looking pets / mounts / your own appearance) can just be bought. Will you always be able to buy asthetic upgrades?
frozen palm
They've made it clear that Cash Shop items will just be for aesthetics and the like. Absolutely NO power-up type items.
Even the mounts and stuff on the Kickstarter are just skins, not actual mounts.
We'll actually have to acquire a mount in the game just like everyone else, and then apply our skin.
worn otter
Yeah, I did say that. It's the aesthetic stuff I'm addressing.
frozen palm
Maybe I'm not understanding the question.
crystal beacon
I read it like Rabbit answered it as well
frozen palm
The Cash Shop is specifically for aesthetic type stuff. So... yes, you'll be able to buy skins and such.
worn otter
More specifically as an example, is there any point in hunting for 'epic' looking mounts, over just min-maxing stats on some ordinary looking one and applying a skin.
frozen palm
Yes.
worn otter
Will the most eye catching characters be ones who wear artisan gear & find rare items, or ones using shop racial skins?
frozen palm
You can apply the Skin to any qualifying Mount. Thus, when you get your beginning Mount you can apply the skin to it. Then, when you find a better mount, put the skin on it instead.
That's a question no-one can answer. It's too subjective. What you think looks badass might look silly as fuck to me.
rose breach
@worn otter @frozen palm please keep this to questions and answers only, if you want to discuss further please do so in #aoc-discussion #general-discussion or #280894494591942656 (sorry i sound like a dick)

Or dungeons that change after the first group completes it

@desert bough They will have systems in place to prevent someone from saying they will make an item for you and running off with the materials as an example. So if someone goes outside of the safety net then it is kind of their own fault for losing the items.
@worn otter There will be some cosmetic items that only come form the cash shop and some that only come as rare drops from boss fights or monster token events. Depending on your personal taste will dictate if the rare boss skin is better looking to you compared to the cash shop skin or the monster coin skin. I will personally be out gathering every skin I can because I am a completionist who must have all the shiny things.

Awesome. Cheers

That is two players so far with the same answer. Have to believe it! 😦 Thx

@small marsh node type is predetermined, you will notice it since first stages (military has many soldiers, economic has more merchants, divine has priests, and scientific idk what it has)
small marsh
Any idea why take that from the player's hands?
tacit kelp
@small marsh node type predetermined because there are many nodes to begin with...you choose which one you want to develop and start doing stuff in it's zone of influence. Now, the type/race of the node is predetermined by the predominating race in number of that node. The buildings will look different depending on race, but it will still be military or scientific or divine or economic, that will not change.

Like, I will be fine if there are specific costumes that are designed to be more "eye-catching", but plain honest to practice armor and actual combat equipment won't look like a slutty cosplay, right?
zealous ibex
@mellow yoke Steve has mentioned that they're planning on designing their armor and whatnot with the idea of sticking with the settings, so I believe they do not want anything along the idea of "Things that break immersion" so I'm sure the metal underwear is one of those things that breaks immersion

<@&257269635559194625> Question: Does the order of Primary/Secondary class change the combination? IE. Mage/Fighter = Spellsword VS Fighter/Mage = Battlemage ?

@gloomy socket the Primary class is what gives you your abilities and the secondary class modifies those abilities. So it would most definitely change the combination. A Mage/Fighter would have mage abilities with fighter modifications and a fighter/mage would have fighter abilities with mage modifications.

wind silo
Guys, small question. Since to what I understood, Ashes of Creation is going to have Lineage2/Black Desert karam system in place, which discurages PVP, how do you see something like contesting for farming zones being a thing? Like for example Lineage 2 has on going guild wars, but thats imo is not sufficient when there is a group of randoms in your farming zone at which point those karma points rack up pretty quickly.
nimble wave
@wind silo The game will not have "farm zones" simply because it is being designed against it.
There will be no grind, thus, no need to contest these "mob farm" areas:
http://i.imgur.com/eMpFEwK.png
http://i.imgur.com/dFMVcYq.png
moreover, they dont want to adress this as this isnt an issue. they will reward players for teaming up.
If you dont want to share, you are welcome to contest the area, BUT,
you'll have to pay for doing so. This encouraging cooperation rather then an upfront bully attitude.
hope that explained Intrepids view on contesting areas.
crystal beacon
Though, @wind silo , @nimble wave , As I understand it, they have forseen guilds trying to 'own' areas and 'mines' etc
wind silo
Ok, but what about "trade runs"
nimble wave
@crystal beacon This is the 2nd part of my answer. They said, you can, but youll have to deal with the consequences
wind silo
if PVP is discuraged, then there is no reason to hire guards, no reason to protect the caravans
nimble wave
@wind silo Caravans will not have the flagging system in place.
crystal beacon
Sorry @nimble wave I didn't see that
nimble wave
@wind silo To fruther clarify, and wihout turning this into a discussion:
http://i.imgur.com/eWqeHDq.png
Trade runs, AKA, caravans will not have ANY penalties. as they are considered PVP zones.
naive obsidian
Has anything been said about equipment specifically for crafting? Such as gear that increase success chance of making something or chance of getting rare materials from gathering?
proper tusk
@nimble wave Yes I have seen their concerns with preventing zergs but I feel they are too focused on guilds and are overlooking the alliance system. The ability to add another guild to an alliance and make them unflaggable is an open doorway to zergs. Personally I feel that if guilds are estimated a 300 max not even guild members should be unflaggable. I think time would be better spent closing this open door than patching tiny holes. This is why I asked how they plan on preventing this from happening.
nimble wave
@naive obsidian If the question is, weather any iformation on gear that boosts your artisian classes has been released.
I can confirm that no. HOWEVER, it could be a great question on its own, so just tag Intrepid and ask about it, rather if it was asked ^^

BDO horse mechanics may be a good reference as to what I'm talking about. It is immersive and fun.

The community is somewhat confused about which stage the raffle tickets for the alpha will give access to. If they are ment to give access to the Friend's and Family stage which is earlier than the Braver of Worlds package or if they are for a different date. It seems that the BoW package was advertised as the earliest access to the game so it wouldn't be quite fair for someone to gain earlier access than that.
lilac yew
Right but will the raffle tickets for the F&F continue to give access to all alpha stages after?

F&F is a different stage to the invite only keywinners stage

Will we get refunded if something happens mid development and the project is canceled?
After initial release are you planning to keep the game updated for years to come?
How certain are you that you can fulfill all the promises you made about Ashes content?
What are your plans if development takes longer then expected?

@shell fox to answer some of the questions you've asked: yes Steven is going to refund every little penny you have spent on the ashes crowd funding. Steven and intrepid stuideos are going to keep the game updated and fresh, you have to remember this is like a baby to Steven, his idea of a perfect mmo.
tacit kelp
@shell fox from what i heard from @Steven from the videos he did answering questions i can say this:
He promised to return every penny we donated throught kickstarter (and i think this applies to webside backing that is gonna start in 2-3 weeks as well) if something happens and they can't release the game anymore.
Yes, they are going to keep the game updated (every week or 2 weeks feom what i heard in last video, with small and ocasional big updates), this is why the game is subscription based, so that they make sure they don't run out of money after some time and are able to release high quality updates/stuff.
They said it will not take longer than expected, but this one is subject to change, and only the developers can ansqer that. All they said was that the game will be out before 2020, so it can come out in last week of December 2020, or even sooner....or it can take longer, nobody knows, depends how smoothly things go, and how helpful the guys with access to closed alphas are at finding bugs and errors.

Will there be an expansive exploration system in AoC with rewards in place for venturing further into them nooks and crannies of the maps or hard to get places? - For example I know in a lot of current MMO's people typically venture into a cave to get items to finish a quest. Typically people get what they need and head out. Might there be rewards tucked away in AoC for venturing into the depths and really exploring the area? Or going through the little jump puzzle to get into areas and really exploring the land. Often MMO's say they have exploration but when you spend all that time working your way around the map and into the areas and you finally get there very seldom is there a form of reward or incentive where you feel it was worth your time to venture further then the average player. By the sounds of things AoC could really knock the explanation system out of the park with the surface world, underworld, and underwater areas. Please make this system worth the explorers efforts.

<@&257269635559194625> The reason for limiting artisans to either gathering, processing, or crafting is to create a need for reliance on one another, but won't people just create an alt for each? Any plans to address that?
nimble wave
@teal rain It has been adressed.
Artisian classes will take longer to master, and a true "master" will require lots of work to achieve.
my favorite quote is "if everyone is a master then noone is"
While you can create alts for all 3, they wont master all the branches in the artisian classes.
moreover, the time itself will take 3 folds.
So basiclly, you can open alts, but itll be a hell go trough if you want 3 masters alts.

<@&257269635559194625> so, I've read two conflicting information sources regarding alpha, beta and final release plans. on the forum I read mentions of the closed friends, family, and raffle keys alpha for december this year, closed alpha 1 for kickstarter december next year. and release sometime before 2020. on the Zam article it says october for friends,family and raffle key winners, alpha 1 will follow, beta later next year and final release planned for Dec 2018. which of these is closer to what you have planned? I know these can't be hard promises as we will have to see how development plays out and such. but there is a 2 year difference between the different stories 😃

@rose breach "Intrepid Studios is planning on hosting their friends and family closed alpha this October. Another closed alpha will follow. The beta is tentatively planned for later next year, with a stress test open beta directly before launch. " is what Zam says, Alpha 1 must come much earlier than betas as Alpha 2 will be a persistent alpha for a longer period of time?
how can that be if alpha 1 is planned for late 2018?

Closed Alpha 1 from kickstarter, Friends and family one before that. which is planned for october

<@&257269635559194625> @idle siren @sudden kernel @reef mulch Will there be an expansive exploration system in AoC with rewards in place for venturing further into them nooks and crannies of the maps or hard to get places? - For example I know in a lot of current MMO's people typically venture into a cave to get items to finish a quest. When people get what they need normally they just head out instead of searching the depths or seeing just how far that cave system goes. Will there be rewards tucked away in AoC for venturing into the depths and really exploring the area? Or going through the little jump puzzle to get into areas and really exploring the land. Often MMO's say they have exploration but when you spend all that time working your way around the map and getting into areas you finally get there and very seldom is there a form of reward or incentive where you feel it was worth your time to venture further then the average player. By the sounds of things AoC could really knock the explanation system out of the park with the surface world, underworld, and underwater areas. Please make this system worth the explorers efforts.

@proper tusk @lean sable Just to correct the answer:
Yes there will be nodes on islands, if the people would develop it.
ANY node can develop into a metropolis, so it is possible, if you have enough people that will keep developing it.
http://i.imgur.com/k4tONMS.png
Yes there will be trade routes.
http://i.imgur.com/FTguY1B.png
No, you cant attack a node via ships (they said that they dont want a node to be in a disadvantage compared to other land nodes).
Hope that helped.
@red tulip @eager rock There is something very importnat about estimating a developing process, this early on.
The way it works is, you predict an estimated time which it will take to develop, and then you add a "failure" window, incase you need some spare time.
Predicting that the game will launch within 1.5 years, is ambitious, altho, this is what Steven said, the key words are "caution" and "technicly"
http://i.imgur.com/uNzDrdP.png
It is not set in stone. The moment the game is ready to go and satisfies them, they will release it, they wont stall.
but then again, what happens if you promise something to a crowd and then there are complications? people would be outragious.
Thats why, the "set" date of release is planned for 2020
http://i.imgur.com/sPN2WWr.png
Again, predicting an abstact process such as developing a game, is really impossible.
Hope that cleared it up.

<@&257269635559194625> when a node gets successfully sieged, is the node deleveled completely or just dropped one level? so would it take multiple delevelings to drop a node a long way down in stages, or can it be possible to "scorched earth" a location if a seige group chooses?
soft mica
<@&257269635559194625> I would like to know if you want the community on a server to actively choose to destroy a node. Like having talks between the nodes, and let not A attack node B in a war, where over some weeks of sieges node B will be destroyed ( and they would be ok with that) to create a new node C somewhere else so that new content can be started. In addition to that node C will then attack node A to destroy it and have node D be build. Like a staged war. Of course their could be more nodes or teams working on that, just to boil it down to a easier example I used two nodes.
Like a circle of war between the nodes so that everybody can see every possible or most of the possible content.
eager rock
@nimble wave thank you Needletail. I do understand that it is a estimate and does not extend the first estimate launch I was just shocked to see a technical planned for Dec 2018. I thought they most of did a typo and wanted to make sure

@tulip thistle Hey!
The node will de-level (1 level bellow) and there will be a "cooldown" placed. also, based on the siege results and kills (such as NPC and buildings) some services may be destroyed aswell:

@rose breach if guild/node A declares a siege on node B, then the siege is "open" for all to join. So a foreign guild can't intentionally fail a siege as others might take the opportunity and go for an "actual" siege.

Guys this channel is for questions towards Intrepids staff and directed answers only.
Please move to #aoc-discussion for discussions about AoC and for the general talk #general-discussion, instead.
Thank you for understanding
rose aspen
<@&257269635559194625> so for traveling how much time you guys estimate it will take to go between developed nodes. To little and caravans don't need escorts to much and ppl will not explore. Additionally will developed nodes contain lower stage nodes inside their zoi and if so how will xp splitting go?
nimble wave
@rose aspen The world map size is yet to be discussed, however the 2nd question I can answer.
The way it works is, every node has Zone of Influence (will be refered to as ZOI from now on)
In this Zone, all actions preformed, are gaining exp for the node that controls it.
once a node advances in level, its ZOI grows, swallowing all the nodes around it.
Now, every node within this ZOI, no longer have its own (since its been swallowed) thus, giving all the EXP earned to the one centric node.
This is the reason, why it was said that only up to 5 metropolosis may exist, because otherwise, they would swallow each other (a swallon node cant gain EXP, thus cant advance to a metropolis).
If that is understood we can get back to your question.
Can a big node contain smaller nodes? Yes, it will happeen. And the level of the nodes will stall on the same level they were, when the ZOI of the bigger node took over.
Will they split EXP? No. the ZOI will be controlled by the larger node, so all the EXP will go towards it.
Hope that helped.

naive obsidian
<@&257269635559194625> We know there is a limit to the number of tier 6 nodes, but is there any limit to the other node tiers? Or is it that its possible for every node to be tier 5 with 4 tier 6 in the entire game world?
nimble wave
@naive obsidian Please rerfer to my previous explanation on ZOI:
The way it works is, every node has Zone of Influence (will be refered to as ZOI from now on)
In this Zone, all actions preformed, are gaining exp for the node that controls it.
once a node advances in level, its ZOI grows, swallowing all the nodes around it.
Now, every node within this ZOI, no longer have its own (since its been swallowed) thus, giving all the EXP earned to the one centric node.
This is the reason, why it was said that only up to 5 metropolosis may exist, because otherwise, they would swallow each other (a swallon node cant gain EXP, thus cant advance to a metropolis).
If you understand how ZOI works,
you can now understand, that the higher tier the node the more rare it will be.
We will have:
Tier 5<tier 4<... and so on.
Again, ofcourse the map will limit the number of possible tier 4 and 3 and so on, but I dont see how that number will affect anything.
So to answer your question, YES nodes will be limited, and the higher tier of the node the more rare it will be (basic logic if you understand ZOI)
Hope that helped.

<@&257269635559194625> I asked a question and I can't get a answer????
cedar parrot
<@&257269635559194625> I know Intrepid won't let players directly make a name for a Node (to avoid "City mcCityface"). But do you plan to have fixed names for the towns/metropolises that develop at every Node? Or will a name be assigned to the Node based on some RNG or Algorithm? I think the latter allows players to feel that their server has a unique story, while the former adds greater simplicity to referencing where things are in the world. Is there an official decision on this?
serene sparrow
@cedar parrot They mentioned that the names will be race specific. But a little RNG out of a list. (this is what I remember)
tight wind
<@&257269635559194625> hello, can two player's go into business with one another? Like I want to open a ranch with a friend on a freehold is that possible? @idle siren @sudden kernel
serene sparrow
@tight wind They talked about this but no answer has been given as far as i'm aware of. They are also not sure if they will allow players to occupy the same freehold.
tight wind
Thank you
cedar parrot
@serene sparrow So will the Node Name similarly be decided based on the Race that contributes the most to its development? What if there are multiple Tul'nar nodes for example? Will they all have the same name? Probably not. But then how would the names be decided? At random? Or maybe there is an order based on which Node is developed first.
serene sparrow
I see Needletail typing and I'm sure he knows more than me so i will let him/her answer.

@tight wind Intrepid studios are working on developing the game, this channel exists for them to help whenever they can.
Also, please note that marketing or answering our questions shouldnt be a priority at this point.
When the game is ready, all your questions will be answered.
They already laid out a pretty well drawn idea of what the game is supposed to be.
So please dont feel so entitled.
Now that being said, regarding your question, I'll try to answer for the best of my knowldge,
You will be able to "hire" people, so if you meant "buisness" as in contracts betwen players, they will exist to a certain degree:
http://i.imgur.com/wNqa5fP.png
But this system is yet to be detailed, so we'll ahve to wait and see.
Now, regarding the "question" itself, can you share freehold activity betwen you and other players
and the answer is yes, sort of:
http://i.imgur.com/iJSM34p.png
This is the answer that was given.
The last part specificly adresses your question.
HOWEVER, it has been confirmed that you will be able to hire NPC's to take care of crops and other tasks for example.
http://i.imgur.com/jMfRDSD.png
Also, just to add to @serene sparrow point:
Players wont be able to share freeholds. It has been confirmed in this quote:

@little canyon Node type will be very vividly distuinquished in the very early stages
(so you'll know exactly what kind of node you're developing)
Let me see if I can get the exact quote.
little canyon
@nimble wave I know that I was thinking of actually them changing this mechanic to something of a choice... of what majority of players in a node want in that node rather than... fixed and preplaced nodes kinda meh atm this mechanic for me
abstract swift
i like that no choice node system... it forces guilds compete for certain key areas :)... if you can choice, there would be less competition
nimble wave
@little canyon Nodes will be scattered around the world, so it is VERY VERY likley that if you're looking to a specific type of node, you'll find it very near to a rivaling node type, again, this will all go down to the players.
The answer given to us was that node have predetermined type (not based on contribution)
http://i.imgur.com/9IR74uu.png
What will have a choice, is which direction this node is going, you can have the same type of node, with very many different "tech" trees and benefits, based on the decisions made by the government.
http://i.imgur.com/qsiHGmt.png
So you can end up having 2, lets say, economic nodes, that feel different.

<@&257269635559194625> Would it be possible to slightly change the corruption system? Changing the combat penalties for killing to a (possibly stacking) debuff for attacking and killing lower levels, and making attacking equal and higher level players only give the XP penalty? The current system as I understand it seems to punish you for staying alive too long if you're good at being a bandit/pirate.

<@&257269635559194625> @verbal quiver mods? Uis etc?

@crystal beacon The thing is, you lose combat effectiveness the more corruption you have.
So after some murders of lower levels, you're effectivness will drop to a point, where you deal and take as much damage as they do.

Not to mention the gear drop chance.
crystal beacon
@nimble wave Yes, I know that's how the system works. I'm asking if they'd be open to changing it a little. Sorry if I didn't make myself clear.
