Someone previously said anything purchased through KS would not be under NDA but then went on to say Alpha 0 and Beta 0 will be under NDA. When I purchased my kickstarter pack it was advertised as earliest access to Alpha has that changed?

Did they mention anything about crafting equipment? or is it all for combat oriented? Like being able to make an epic crafting hammer, instead of an epic sword from some rare unique item.
crystal beacon
@native obsidian I don't know if they've mentioned things like an epic crafting hammer, but we do know that crafters will be able to create upgrades to caravans. (speculating) probably boats too. We also know there will be alchemy and cooking. Therefore, it's at least not all weapon and armor based.

If I recall the time listed for Alpha 1 as Dec 2018 is actually a placeholder, they MAY have it sooner but the default date set for everything on KS was dec 2018
it honestly would surprise me if it was that far away seeing as how alpha 0 is this dec, i expect alpha 1 to be mid summer next year or early fall approx a year from now

@normal eagle here's the dates as much as we know them. We do know that Alpha 1 will exist in Q4 of 2018, it's doubtful to be before that.

@weak fox Shit wouldn't be the qualifier I would use for a game that is in its early iterations of combat. Personally, I think it's pretty good for this stage. Think of it this way, "If combat already looks like this in pre-alpha, how much better will it get?"
They are aware of what can be improved, and they continue to collect feedback as well.
weak fox
Call it what it is. Then maybe it will improve.
brittle crystal
has there been any word on how many pets you can use at the same time? Not summoner pets but pets like the falcon/dragon/phoenix we get from the kickstarter packs.

@weak fox yeah i don't think it looks THAT bad. already looks like some games that are already out there. Maybe also be a little bit more specific on what you would like to see improved 😃

@weak fox it's pre-pre alpha gameplay. Also, there is no auto attack so it may look different

dim monolith
@weak fox I would have to say, it very impressive that they made that build in 90 days since KS ended. For players to be able to play it at PAX and to give feedback to the dev team.

So if you contribute to a node when you gain experience in it, could a node get seiged as a city, but due to enemy attacking and killing, they cause it to become a metropolis?
devout kestrel
@native obsidian I dont believe they have said anything as of yet about gaining exp from other players in PVP
native obsidian
Well I imagine you get exp for killing guards?
crystal beacon
I think if you get experience from killing guards, you will get experience from killing mass invaders.
I'm sure there would be a city accomplishment, or maybe even city achievements.
That's a really good question by the wyay.
way*
devout kestrel
@native obsidian save that for next stream!
crystal beacon
To be honest you should ask about it in Ashes Discussion, I'm sure someone will have the answer, and it's fun to theory craft 😃
native obsidian
I can see seiges causing a node to freeze progression, but I also see it as the node coming more together due to the seiged so they should grow
crystal beacon
I think there would be a mass node experience, it'd be a huge accomplishment.
west heath
to defeat the siege you mean?
crystal beacon
Yep siege/horde, or vice versa, if you're claiming a node, you would also contribute to leveling it up.
west heath
i feel like they said before that sieging a node causes it to lose experience/rank.
its the whole purpose of sieging
but staving off a siege i think should be a huge boon
crystal beacon
One would hope so.
west heath
Remember, not every node can become really big. You have to siege to make your node next to it, better Than the besieged node

You guys should head over to #aoc-discussion 😃

I believe I am still answering a question @magic cosmos
unkempt mist
<@&257269635559194625> Based on @verbal quiver 's answer above concerning Alpha 0 vs. Alpha 1, why are you giving first access to random people who may not have backed the game, and could care less whether it succeeds or not, and not following through with the KS perk "Invite to Closed Alpha - Phase 1 (Earliest Access to Ashes!)", which is now NOT the earliest access to Ashes, and actually receive feedback from those who helped fund the game and want it to succeed?
magic cosmos
@unkempt mist Earliest public access is Alpha 1, private access is however they deem fit. Many compnaies choose to select randomly for testers. In this case they have chosen a private/invite only setting for their Alpha 0 test.
Additionally, people in Alpha 0 are subject to NDA and do not gain any additional access to other phases based on selection.
More info can be found here:
https://forums.ashesofcreation.com/discussion/6085/information-regarding-weekly-key-drawings/p1
unkempt mist
Yeah, I get Friends and Family Alphas. Those are still considered closed and internal. That's not what they're doing. It's the real Earliest Access to Ashes, not Phase 1 Alpha. In addition, Friends and Family generally want to help their friend or family member make a great game and succeed. You can't guarantee that kind of feedback from some 800 random people from the forums and Twitch.
magic cosmos
@unkempt mist I misspoke, F&F is not Alpha 0. But yes, it's random. It's like Dauntless technical alpha.
unkempt mist
Great, you changed your response. Now it takes my reply out of context. :/
Again, they choose 800 random people from the forums and Twitch for their initial feedback, instead of inviting those who actually support the game and want it to succeed. Even if they still wanted an Alpha 0, it would've been better to choose 800 from Backers instead of randoms.
magic cosmos
Let's head over to #aoc-discussion 😛
unkempt mist
Nah. The question was for <@&257269635559194625> anyway. Doubt they'll respond, but their decision makes no sense if they want great initial feedback early in the Alphas.

@unkempt mist there are lots of explanations here and on the forums over how people are chosen to participate in Alpha-0. Half are picked by the dev team based on that users engagement with the community; the other half are chosen at random this gives people who are less confident to take time in the community lime light a chance to e not the game or people who can't afford the cost of buying alpha access.

@cloud egret I don't believe so, at least they've never said anything about it. If you want to do it now when the packages are still there I suggest contacting support.

You would indeed need to send an email to Cs@intrepidstudios.com to do an upgrade of a PAX package :)
And after closure of the PAX sale then you would not likely be able to upgrade again. So yeah do it now if you're wanting to.

<@&257269635559194625> If people part of your guild/society decide to attack a node that you are defending, are you still not able to attack them and just "turn a blind eye" in the seige?
viscid rune
I don't know how to ask, but from reading what I have and everything I've seen, maybe I'm blind and/or mis-interpreting something. So a vein of myrthil pops and people start to farm it and what not and you build up the node around that area, would you be able to hire NPCs from that area to help and store it for whichever guild in that area? Like i said, I am probably blind and it's been answered or is already been explained when looking better than I. Thanks in advance!
regal topaz
@viscid rune Storage will be localized, meaning you will be able to store some large amount in the node you are a citizen of (assuming you can bring all that ore back home). To touch on hiring NPCs, Intrepid has not stated to what extent we will be able to hire NPCs. We know that NPCs will be hirable as guards for Caravans/Gates and that they have considered NPC-manned stalls, but nothing specific to gathering (to my knowledge). I personally doubt that NPC gathering will be that ubiquitous for players. It is more likely that NPC gathering will be limited and more geared toward Node building than personal gain. I've attached some generic info about NPC hiring and mining.
@viscid rune The above quote is referring to NPCs who will be "General Vendors"
viscid rune
Thank you so much!

Will there be a cap on guild membership?
magic cosmos
@west badge 300, so yes.
west badge
Will the number of nodes allowed be based on total server population?
magic cosmos
@west badge Nodes can develop based on zones of influence IIRC, there can only be 5 metros, meaning that nodes in their zone of influence cant develop past a specific stage.
i.e. not tied to population.
west badge
So what is the max server population?
glass swallow
10k
west badge
Okay so if all things are equal then 2000 people per city at the max end...
crystal beacon
There is an 8-10k concurrent users cap, which is probably distinct from population. Did I get that right @glass swallow ?

yep

@west badge No. It sounds like you're associating the cities with a "faction" type system, which it is not.

@stray oasis 15$/mo sub

@stray oasis BUT! there is no start up cost. just the sub. With no paid expansions in the future as the Sub will cover development and any content released in the future.
spice rampart
Interesting! Thank you for that information. I had not known that @sullen sentinel
sullen sentinel
What we are paying for currently is cosmetics, development, Alpha and beta keys
@spice rampart YW, I like to set people straight on that idea since when people hear sub they think oh no I have to buy the game then sub for it then pay for more expansions.
Nah I think it is actually a pretty nice deal.
spice rampart
Indeed!
sullen sentinel
Especially when you think if you spend atleast 15 hours a month on it you are getting your moneys worth.
And if you get busy with life for a month you simply unsub for that month. Problem solved 😃
modest sierra
so is it just going to be a month by month $15? or are they gonna make different plans for paying for 6 months/1 year kind of thing too?
sullen sentinel
<@&257269635559194625> Will guilds be able to have different guild specific armor sets such as a Tank (Heavy Armor set), DPS (Medium armor set), and Healer (Light Armor set) ?
crystal beacon
What is a chair?
sullen sentinel
I am sure like most games they will have a better deal for paying 12 months or 6 months in advance.
It is common practice to have players pay less for the more time they buy all at once. Such as in ESO where the cost is brought down more and more for the larger package you buy.
modest sierra
sounds good
sullen sentinel
@modest sierra YW 😃
modest sierra
thanks ^.^
west badge
Will Metro type affect the defensive options during siege? or will all metro types have access to the same defensive options?
sullen sentinel
@west badge To my understanding Metros will be different in structure, design, and how they react to scenarios.
So who is to say the Military node may have stronger NPCs where the Scientific node has better technology and the divines node has help from the gods?
graceful patrol
Is their a plan in place if a node in one server takes over the whole map and doesn't let any other node build? Like a end game event or wipe?
dim shuttle
@boreal abyss It was stated somewhere that each node will have it's own marketplace (auctionhouse if you prefer that term). So you will be able to take goods from one node and sell them at a different amount at each other node depending on factors like demand. Also was stated that it might happen where one of the node types is able to connect all of their marketplaces within that one node (so all the cities in that node share one market). I do not have the time right now to look up exactly where this was stated, but I believe it was in one of the first few live streams. As everything else, I'm sure this too is subject to change but I really like it personally.
boreal abyss
No I mean as in actual Auction House
as in sit down, Auctioneer holds the Auctions and players bid
No buyout, just a starting price

So different guild will control different nodes but what about players on other servers is it possible to just come to a server and zerg it and change up the entire structure of command controlling the nodes

Guilds will not control nodes
Intrepid stated that they're very anti-zerg, and they're going to make it very difficult for zerging to exist.

Then how does player government with leaders work out and what about zerging castles
zenith heron
the corruptinon system removes corruption upon death right? and when you die you have a chance to drop things you are carrying. but what if ppl just get there friends to kill you and give back anything you drop? maby even that friend is a bounty hunter who can claim rewards for it. is there any system in place to stop this? <@&257269635559194625>
crystal beacon
@zenith heron When you respawn corrupted, you respawn randomly in order to help prevent exactly what you're talking about.
boreal abyss
@tough trout Three types, Tasks (no story), Quests (Story), Events (Dynamic ones)
@hardy fog Take Military Nodes as an example. They have said that the leader will be decided by a tournament.
Which means that even if a Guild contributes heavily to a Node, a Solo Player might win the tournament and become the Leader of that node 😛
Science node will have voting systems
Commerce nodes, you can buy the positions
Religious nodes will probably follow some sort of Hierarchy depending on your influence in the Religion it is off (Not sure about this one but the rest have been mentioned as I've stated)

@static zephyr We don't necessarely know if there will be "loot boxes" per say, but we do know that there will be a cash shop with cosmetics. (and no p2w items whatsoever) Although in my opinion, loot boxes w/ random cosmetics would be a good idea and could be very fun.

Not really because like in say elsword there were some that only looked good in sets and you could NEVER get one piece of it

loot boxes are bs IMO. unless you explicitly have drop rates revealed.

Aura damage effects that affect anyone within a good radius of the boss (making it so that healers cannot heal everyone in a Zerg)?
Dominance skills that affect a certain % of players in the vicinity? 🤔 I am curious
reef prawn
@boreal abyss The game is still in pre pre pre alpha, exact mechanics especially for this aren't their priority. Even if there were specific mechanics like this already in place, they could and would change since the game is in such an early state. All we know for now is that either in PvP or in PvE, simply Zerging won't be the best idea. For pvp for example, you will have specific objectives to complete when sieging a city, and so zerging without thinking won't get you far.
boreal abyss
Still doesn't hurt to ask 🤔
cinder gyro
so far only 2 anti zerg mechanics have been revealed
- No fast travel - meaning you can't summon your zerg willy nilly anywhere in the world when things start happening. You actually have to plan things out in advance.
http://aocwiki.net/Guilds#How_will_the_game_empower_small_guilds.3F_How_will_you_prevent_zerg_groups_overpowering_things.3F.5B10.5D - No zerging bosses without knowing their mechanics - even if you bring a zerg to a boss the players must know the mechanics in order to defeat it or they get wiped. Obviosuly having more player means more dps, but you can't kill a boss using ONLY numbers.
http://aocwiki.net/Dungeons#.5B24:00.5D_How_are_you_going_to_make_the_PvE_experience_so_that_raid_and_dungeon_bosses_be_done_with_mechanics_in_place_without_zergs_ignoring_them..5B10.5D
boreal abyss
That's why my question was related to bosses 😉 Wondering what kind of mechanics they have in place in that aspect :P
Doesn't matter if I get an answer or not, asking when I am curious is enough to get it out of my system 😄
cinder gyro
yeah, we know pretty much nothing except "you need to know boss mechanics or you get wiped" which is there in every game lol
boreal abyss
Yeah 😛 That's why I am curious if there are any mechanic ideas like those I mentioned that will instead make bosses harder the more people there are 😄
magic cosmos
Not that we know - it'd all be speculation at this point. Hop over to #aoc-discussion and we can talk about it 😃
vernal shard
I was watching a "Shadow of Wars" video and the combat style is freaking awesome anychance of doing something that where your moving all around your enemeis and or when you first meet a boss you get a cut scene of them saying something to you before the fight starts...heck even the slow motion arrow firing for rangers when they are soloing possibly. I know I know its alpha but that stuff was inspiring got you right into it. Here is a link use it for inspiriation not that you guys are not already doing a fantastic job but it great motivating video ..https://youtu.be/IZsrWuimYyc?t=24

Maybe a little early for this, but every node stage will spawn new mobs, new NPCs and new quests. What will happen with a quest progress when a node delevels and quest or NPC will become unavailable? Will it sit in your log for once the node develops again? More thinking about long epic type of quests. <@&257269635559194625>

How do you plan to handle RMT and bots <@&257269635559194625>

I want to know how they are going to deal with gold sellers
boreal abyss
We all do, so far we've only heard them mention something about data analysing etc to discover and then handle it, but nothing more than that 😛
keen grove
@median lily @boreal abyss they also said they plan on having active GMs patrolling the game, a practice which seems to have been abandoned
median lily
while that will help with toxicity and things like that in chat
it wont really help against gold sellers
boreal abyss
Really? I haven't seen active GM's since.. the first years of WoW o_O
if will only help against bots at most yh
when it comes to Gold Sellers
median lily
It will help against bots spamming
but the real issue would be the famous websites/ traders online
that dont spam with bots.
boreal abyss
that's most likely where the analysis tools come in
if you see someone get a lot of gold and give away a lot of gold, that is a pretty clear indication that it's a seller 😛
As well as the ones who have given gold to the seller a lot will be clearly susspect of being the providers 😛
median lily
true. Glad they are onto that 😃
the perspective in this game, is to fix every issue with other mmorpgs
soo much promise, I really hope they deliver
then we will witness a WoW breaker 😃

@vernal shard I hope we just get to have a shared storage between all our alts. I also hope that housing will be shared between all our alts. Otherwise, the same guy or gal controlling multiple houses in an already limited housing market just because they want one for every alt? That's just too much.
Oh and my question here is: Can we get info on how this will work?
vernal shard
@dim shuttle That is a much better idea then what I was thinking, I played a game where you shared a storage chest with your alts and worked out good almost like having a shared bank which would work also, it could have slots for just your character and then some set aside for all alts to be able to see when they are in the bank or chest. =)

mailing would be easier for certain things though

@dim shuttle @vernal shard all houses are shared across all characters for one account. So all your characters get 1 citizenship, 1 non instanced house in town, 1 instanced apartment in town and one freehols

@compact violet Nice, do you have source on this? I think I haven't read that one yet 😄

@compact violet thank you, that was not on the wiki (at least not when I read through the housing section) so I didn't know if that was the case or not. What a relief. PS yes I know it says "May own one of each type of housing (one freehold, one static node home , and one instanced apartment" but that could easily mean per character since the words "per account" are not there. Anyways, good stuff!

@dim shuttle the issue with per character is mobopolization of node housing then

I think it would be really cool if they did the whole active live GM business. I don't know how many people though that means they have to employ to have enough covering multiple servers but. I was reading about the oldschool Matrix Online game and how they big awesome NPCs such as morphius were actually GMs
Its kind of a cool dynamic, if you had more than just NPCs to interact with and change the course of the game

@idle siren Can we get a clarification on housing. We have a quote that freehold plot will be account capped at one. Does this also apply to in city housing and instanced apartments? Since previous quotes do not mention that those are account capped specifically we have people thinking that they will be able to own those types of house per character, not account.
opal raft
@ruby swift one freehold, one city housing, and one instances housing per account. I couldn't find the official quote but it's there somewhere
Housing will be shared by all characters on your account
magic cosmos
@ruby swift @opal raft
opal raft
@magic cosmos ahh yes I knew someone would be a hero and step up. Thank you
ruby swift
Thing is....we have looked. There isn't anything official out there beyond that freeholds will be account capped, and we have some other people who have been around for a long time saying that in city and instanced apartments will be character based. So you may own up to one of each type of housing, but nothing so far saying definitively that it will be account based for those two types. So I could have one freehold, and if we say can have 8 alts, 8 in city houses if I had the gold to pay the tax on all of them.
boreal abyss
🤔 Indeed it can be interpited as only counting for Freeholds 🤔
But thinking about it logically
"You may own up to 1 of each type of housing"
That should be refering to account, because it does not make sense to let alts buy more than that if you have such a rule in place, as you could just as well have done that on your main toon instead if that was the case
tulip hatch
On stream it was said to be per character but it is subject to change.

10k per server
Size... nothing mentioned but I have heard that Alpha 0 will be 1 zone at approx 4x4 km
And also heard that there will be 28 zones final game
Assuming these are true... 16km^2 * 28 = 408 km^2 🤔

boreal abyss
I have seen people talk about that number when it comes to zones so no source or anything, hence "assuming these are true" 😛
The 4x4 km zone for Alpha I also heard 2nd hand 😛 but heard it from someone who's active in the community so I believe that one to be true (for the Alpha 0 at least)
half spindle
I heard that only Rulers can fly, but there might be the possibility that class like Summoner could just summon some dragon/griffin or whatever to ride on him and fly ?

True flying mounts are restricted to castle rulers and metropolis rulers however there will be flying mounts that have a lifespan for non rulers
normal players will have access to gliding mounts
summoner skills have not been discussed so we can not answer that question without it being purely speculation, sorry.
boreal abyss
It is doubtful however as it would give a very large bonus to people playing summoner over other classes imo
half spindle
It was just an example, and of course it won’t be easy as that.
It will require legendary skill or something to fly...

No flying mounts will destry allot of game play. I played Vanguard Saga of Heros and in that game you could fly everywhere. It was really cool for a day before it got mundane.

And I think that is estimated based on there being way more than 3 players 😛

Remember you also need to gather materials for the node to progress at some point 🤔
I think 🤔
atomic isle
yeah, but i thought bout that because i just seem to notice that getting a mansion will be so damn hard because u either need to be there the moment the node hits village (or was it even town) size, or just buy it in a metropolis
boreal abyss
That is correct. You will either have to grab it right away, or buy it from seller later.
Those around when it Tiers up will also be able to rush buy plots of land 😉

well i just hope that alphas or betas will reset so that the participants dont already own everything

@icy chasm hi there first time ever i place a question the community didn't had an answer on. I recently been reading up some more in to AoC and love the concept of the game, 1 thing i like about the game is the 3 different types of housing. from the 3 types of housing i find the freehold housing the most interesting since it looks like its your personal space to craft and gather or at least can place buildings/land that would support that! From what i read it sounds great being able to model buildings ( modular ) and land like you please! 1 thing i missed though, ... are these freehold plots upgradable, can you expand them? or can you upgrade them giving you bigger yields or better output on what ever you are crafting or gathering?
@icy chasm 1 more question regarding the freehold system. currently it says that you can place houses in the ZOI ( zone of influence ) from a node, which is great. but it looks like there will only be a limited amount of freehold space available. i wonder if there is a system in place that could allow at least each and every single player a freehold space? For example making the ZOI a terrain with phasing technology were you get multiple shards overlaying the zone when the first zone is filled! since freehold only becomes attackable during siege this should not really be a problem i recon!?

<@&257269635559194625> Do you think we'll soon be getting a perview of how summoner skills will work? Like, will it be similar to the Witchdoctor or Necromancer in Diablo 3 where the summons do most of the damage, but are supported by the caster, or will it be a "Casting 'spells that produce summons to do temporary damage to an area' type summoner"? Which I think is what I saw how FF14 did it, personally I'd prefer that the minions do most of the damage and are supported by the caster since that gives the feel of a true summoner Since I'm stuck on choosing what classes I want to play, I just want to hear a little bit before I give myself a decision
magic cosmos
@zealous ibex Probably wont have the other classes until some time next year - I know for A0 they are hard at work with content and the classes demoed at PAX.
glass swallow
@zealous ibex as Tiriboo mentioned, the focus right now is for the team to finish up the current classes in prep for Alpha 0. Once that is in the books, work will likely begin on the other classes. i would not anticipate a look at these classes ontil mid 2018

I liked the idea of combat being immersive and really enjoyed how in dragon dogma you could climb on monsters and get hit away to have to run back into a fight. The idea of combos is great. Is it solo combo or group combo. If group combo is input will it still work with lag? In pve instances I dont see that being a problem except if pve bosses are done in world fights and pvp another problem maybe?

<@&257269635559194625> is there a system where a player can create his own skill that is unique than the rest of the other skills like that player who created that skill cannot be easily copied by others unless he gives the permission to copy it?

@smoky forum Maybe there are hard to unlock skils ingame through quest lines or whatever wich you can set on your current spel for a special effect. But this is just my speculation
hollow rapids
@smoky forum Skills will not be truly unique, you will augment them, mostly with augments who are unlockable for everyone. You might have an augment that is rare, but that doesn't make a skill unique, does it?
smoky forum
@hollow rapids you got a point thanks for the answer
hollow fox
I was reading the manhwa "the legendary moonlight sculptor" and I was fascinated of the idea that there are class specific "hidden" quests (there are also hidden classes) and that you can unlock new quest with better rewards when you get a better relationship with certain persons. Is there something similar in planing for AoC?
tulip hatch
There will be hidden quests hidden classes not so sure about that.
boreal abyss

Already been mentioned about hidden quests from the devs, they also said something about how some might not even appear in your quest log.
tulip hatch
hidden augments for classes yes in a way
boreal abyss
That's confirmed? oO
tulip hatch
yes theyre not exactly hiddeeen per say

NPC relations tho, not been said anything about, and I doubt it since all NPCs are killable

Will you be able to set a public bounty on someone so that the first one who kills this player will get the reward?

we have not been informed if we the players can set bounties on individuals, when a player becomes corrupted they automatically show up on the bounty hunters map.
tropic karma
Have any of you noticed the quick time event bar that shows up during casting? So, the bar shows up and the player has to click at a specific time for optimal results. It's showed up in some of the previews and looks exactly like the reload quick time event in the gears of war games.
I'm really excited about the game, but I don't feel great about this part of the combat design. It looks more like something that could end up being distracting and just something else to micromanage without adding any real depth or skill to the game.
Of course, I don't have the game in my hands and I could be wrong, but I've played a lot of games over the years with this type of thing and I don't think I'd be the least bit put off to learn the whole quick time bar had been removed.
Am I missing something or mistaken about how it works in game?
tulip hatch
it is a QTE bar however it is very much in development; changes will happen through out the next 2 years and the developers are aware of the concerns of the community. We must wait and see how it develops and give feedback accordingly through the alpha/beta testing phases.

wind monsoons are not disaster, they change annually or semi annually, like this time it blows from east and that time from west or vice versa

<@&257269635559194625> is there any plans in place for a tutorial system for your various game systems?

supple nova
<@&257269635559194625> can we expect more classes after release?
graceful skiff
@supple nova I know someone else in here can quote it for you, but I am 98% certain it has been explicitly said that the 8x8 (primary/secondary) class matrix is it. I think 64 possible combinations are enough, personally.
heavy steeple
@supple nova I believe it will be similar to BDO where there will be certain updates that give new classes to play as, but they will most likely be extreamly rare, since adding a class in game will add 8+newclassno combos. So, if they add something like a gunner (which may/may not happen due to them wanting to keep with the game's theme), and the gunner class is the 4th class they released after the games launch, it will be 8+4 new combinations that the player can do, and I bet that will be a lot of work. Dw tho, never said it was impossible 😄
abstract swift
@supple nova Instead of adding a new "primary" class, im sure they will buff/fix the underplayed/not-played class combinations first! Trying to make 64 class viable will be difficult, so don't hold your breath!

So the kickstarter says that Braver of Worlds package gets the earliest access, but now they've made a new earlier alpha and we are not given access to that? That's kinda not right... I was excited because I thought I was going to get access this December. Now I'm informed that the kickstater that says "Earliest access!!" is not true anymore.
tulip hatch
Alpha 0 is not an official alpha its a technical alpha the community decided on the name alpha 0. Earliest access purchasable is still alpha 1

The wording said "Earliest access." Not earliest purchasable access. But hey, whatever, just I'm not in control of these things. It's just very disappointing.

serene hedge
@idle siren So as everyone knows about your "career" in Archeage, I do not find this question to be out of line. I safely assume you and other staff intend on being players as well as creators. My concern is simple. You were never shy from using your wallet in AA to get what you wanted and frankly I do not discredit you for it as the game allowed for it. Now, as the creator of a game, how can you alleviate the concern some have in regards to how will you keep yourself in check with full access to the game? What I mean is, what is to stop you from running your own guild ( I expect you will) and utilizing info you as the creator have over the general player base or even to the point of utilizing gamign asset access to say give you and your guild a healthy bump with noone the wiser. Now before those try to bash me, I am not saying that Steven would do this for certain btu there are those with concern based on behavior from AA. Most of the ones discussing this absolutely love the shit out of what he and his team are producing, we just want some assurance that if we are on the same server, we wont be up against an unwinable odd in regards to concerns mentioned above.

I've been asked to register an AoC account using a referral link to help the referrer gain access to the pre-alpha. After reviewing the referral program FAQ though, I don't see anything being mentioned this helping them with their goal. I see that registered players have a chance to win access to a giveaway, but does referring others increase your chance of winning this access?

No registering only helps them gain a % of what you spend. There has been talk of using people with high referrals in a raffle for alpha 0 but those raffles arent very common.

In terms of the long-term sustainability of the game, eventually we will get to a point where there are players that have been playing for years from launch which will have a massive advantage over new starters (after a few years). I have seen this happen many times where the gap is so big for new players and they end up quitting thus resulting in a limited amount of new players. What strategy will there be to ensure ongoing new players joining the game regardless of the effort/time gap of legacy players? Will it be like world of warcraft where you will have the option of buying a boost pack or like Archeage which had a fresh start server after a few years.

@idle siren
This may have been discussed roughly.
Will there be one of a kind legendary weapons that only one person can have at a time?
If not. Would you be up for a suggestion? It would be cool to have a select amount of legendary weapons that random drop on epic bosses. Once found that person is the one and only soul owner of that weapon for one month. After the month the item drops from your inventoey or bank to be recycled into the system. And you are rewarded a weapon skin of that item to prove that you once owned and found that weapon.
magic cosmos
@eager rock The answer to that is yes. They have talked about unique items. Source below:
eager rock
@magic cosmos thank you. Is there any information on the idea I suggested? While is cool they are putting those in, but once found will there be 5k people running around with the "sword of Jeffrey"
magic cosmos
@eager rock Nope! They want the item to be unique and meaningful - I'm fairly certian that they said there will be a VERY limited amount of these unique / legendary items introduced to the game.

@idle siren you don’t thing there should be a penalty for leaving items in a stall? I think if you do not take your items from the stall they can be stolen or something along those lines

the point of the stalls is so that you can leave stuff on sale and go do your own thing. forcing people to be there afk would mean people would just get alts just for stalls. don't see much point in that.

<@&257269635559194625>
Has your team thought of plague special events? Such as something like vulture poxs. Where a plague is set loose upon a node and the local doctors have found a cure but do not have enough resources. Players must go out and collect the resources for the node to cure the plague. While the event is going on players can catch the plague and get debuffs
visual isle
That would be super cool, and then other people from different nodes wouldn't trade or talk or go to that node to get infected
<@&257269635559194625>
oops
<@&257269635559194625> What's your idea/plans for respawn and death? Are you going to make it so you loose the items on your person, or get a debuff, or have only respawns at nodes so you have to travel ways back? Do you plan to make death just one of those things that's pretty non-chalant or make it so people really have to be careful because death has severe negatives? Just curious on your ideas about how you guys feel death should work in the game! Thanks 😄

@visual isle Here's information about open world PVP death: http://aocwiki.net/PvP#Open_World
There, however, isn't much about PvE death IIRC.

magic cosmos
@teal nebula not sure if this is what you're asking, but the mount concept art can be found here: http://aocwiki.net/Mounts. All we have right now is concept art and not much is finalized.

visual isle
Thanks @magic cosmos
<@&257269635559194625> What are the plans for changing your second Archtype? Will it be possible to change it, will it be like World of Warcraft's Specilization system to easily change or will you have it more like you have to go to a certain ranked node maybe to change it? Or will the second archtype be more set to add more diversity so you're not the same as all other mages since they could be able to switch any time(if changing it easily was available)? Thanks in advance!

<@&257269635559194625> Did you close Crowdfunding Packages?
magic cosmos
@crystal beacon Yes.
crystal beacon
Thank you @magic cosmos

@visual isle They have said multiple times that their viewpoint on this matter will be subject to change throughout testing. However, the last time they were asked about being able to change your secondary Archetype, they implyed that you would be able to change it. Jeff did say that they did not want you to be able to easily change it in the middle of a dungeon, so it is unlikely that you could switch at any time. It is more likely that you will have to visit a "trainer" in a node to change your secondary Archetype or even something more indepth (like a quest line).
crystal beacon
when will the game get released
crystal beacon
thanks 😃

question about houses. will there be basements?
spare umbra
hey <@&257269635559194625> 😃 since your world already do feel really dynamic just a thoguht what about creating a skill tree that evoles based on the players actions 😃 everyone could start the same or chose to start with a prefixed set but the more the use one genre of spells the better they become at useing that and eventurly they evole new spells ? 😃
crystal beacon
<@&257269635559194625> about the halloween stuff, I know that we can take part in as many catagories as we'd like, but can we make multiple entries under the same category, only I've so many more stories I could write. (though possibly better edited next time )
boreal abyss
We can make multiple entries, but not the same entry twice
asked Belewyn yesterday 😃
crystal beacon
Yay!
Awesome, the housework is going to have to wait a bit longer. Kicks ironing under the bed
spare umbra
<@&257269635559194625> will there be a chance you will make an other kickstarter?? 😃 i first reasonly heard of your game and i wanna help as much as posible ^^ gonna start save up just in case you are gonna 😉 but please do let me/us know
magic cosmos
@spare umbra Nope! They are done with crowd funding. However, there will be packages in the future.

What did I miss from the last twitch live stream, I missed it and doesn't look like they uploaded it to youtube
spare umbra
last stream:

spare umbra
<@&257269635559194625> at launch players will start at thoes " portals " however after the game have been out for a while and the nodes have been progressed to some level, then what about haveing new players start at thoes places? like when a node reach level 5-10?? then they get a spawning point where new players can start and have a home evolving around them as well as meet new people and experianced people.
etc guild could maybe create a spawning place for people with an " invite link " to the guild? so they don't have to go to the other end of the map just to get their friend
<@&257269635559194625> talking about buildings could it be posible to have a " blueprint system " have some sort of workshop where people can create there own buildings at the cost of materials. if so what about war machines? costum build war machines that can be created by highly skilled craftsmen. and so blueprints could be a valued thing on the market
<@&257269635559194625> haveing a " liveing world " will there be voice communication? if so haveing so you speak from your charecter everyone around you can hear you unless you speak with " telepatich " or something to create closed coms. cool fieture: the sound of your voice will react to the place you are, standing in a big hall will make your voice echo
magic cosmos
@spare umbra They dont want any fast travel, so your first question's answer is probably no. I don't believe the second question has been answered yet, and the third question, I know they are pushing for discord integration. Remember that this channel is no longer "ask intrepid" and is a community driven Q&A. The questions for intrepid are best asked durring live stream. For most questions you might get an answer faster in #aoc-discussion. Hope this helps! 😃
spare umbra
ohh thanks a lot! i thought this was quistions for the developers that would be answeared doing stream xD sorry for spaming
magic cosmos
@spare umbra Don't worry about it my dude, youre still more than welcome to ask questions in here - the livestream questions are asked in a seperate channel that is created for the stream, and from a forum thread as well.
spare umbra
@magic cosmos great 😄 any set time the next stream will be set?

<@&257269635559194625> With mounts having their own stats and traits, how will Kickstarter Backer mounts and Summer Crowdfunding mounts fit into it, will they be generally better/worse/ average or totally unique in their stats and traits to "normal" in game mounts. Same question with the pets.
magic cosmos
@ember shell the mounts in the packages are just skins.
ember shell
ahh, so you will need to capture a mount that each skin is able to be used on then, or can any of the skins be used on any mount?
magic cosmos
@ember shell skins are used on specific mounts.
ember shell
that makes sense with the one that can glide and things, thanks a lot ^_^

@fleet portal talk about the economy system?

<@&257269635559194625> I am a bit confused on item decay will items break eventually or once I get my +5 sward of leetness can I keep it forever?
tulip hatch
In response to items breaking the only thing we have heard is Over enchanting comes with a risk..but they have not confirmed or denied that items break during enchanting itself however durability wise there is potential for destroying gear.
Item decay itself does not break the item forever it just becomes more costly to repair.
civic rampart
Bit hard to have viable Crafters without some form of item sink
tulip hatch
Repairing items requires materials from the crafted item not only money.
civic rampart
That makes gathering work better....still sucks for the crafter unless you need to be able to make it to fix it
tulip hatch
There will be opportunities for you to give feedback during the testing phases so there is room for improvement!

<@&257269635559194625> if i was to be a blacksmith do i need a freehold to make blacksmithing iteams
tulip hatch
There will be work stations in the City and in Freeholds.
Please keep in mind this is not ask intrepid this is an open Q&A for the community members to ask and answer to the best of their ability
If you wish to directly ask intrepid something your best chance is to wait for the next livestream.
visual isle
Anyone know if it's going to be only the three things, Gatherer, Refiner/manufacturer(I can't remember this one, and the producer or whatever
Or will we have things like blacksmith, scribe, woodworker, tailor, leatherworker, etc
tulip hatch
Gathering processing and crafting are the 3 categories it will branch out into paths such as cooks blacksmiths..ect

With this, is it the kickstarted alpha access, or the key winner/friends&family? (sorry if i cant post screenshots here). I contributed to the kickstarter and got alpha access but i'm unsure about the phases and got all excited with this facebook post.
magic cosmos
@violet swan That's Alpha 0, Kickstarter Alpha is in one year.

Alpha 0 key from random and hand picked drawings
violet swan
alright, thank you 😃
visual isle
@tulip hatch Thanks for getting back to me, good to know!
Have the keys for Alpha 0 all been given or are there still a few draws to go?
tulip hatch
There will be weekly drawings on fridays
hollow rapids
@visual isle There are several ways of earning them still going on, most notably the halloween events and weekly key drawings on fridays
verbal quiver
visual isle
Okay, I see. So they plan to keep increasing the amount of people in Alpha 0. Do they plan to stop giving away keys at some point or not really?
tulip hatch
As far as i have heard there is no end date but perhaps a mod can better answer that question.
verbal quiver
no end date just yet, but my assumption is that once alpha 0 hits they will start doing weekly drawings for the beta 0 that we saw keys for at the start of the year
visual isle
Okay, thanks for all the help 😄

Are OCE servers planned or is it set in stone?

Intrepid stated that they would like to make servers anywhere that there is a decent playerbase
but nothing is set in stone yet

@tulip hatch @jaunty sluice OCE servers are planned as of now.

Has anything been said about rogues having the abilities to steal? or have they not disclosed that
crystal beacon
What progress would you hope to have made by alpha 2?
willow cloud
@oak knot They mentioned that they don't plan to implement stealing from other players in general. They might add something in between the the social organizations (Thieves guild vs Trader's company), but at this point this is at most a concept.
@crystal beacon I think that is a really broad question and it is impossible to answer unless you specify in what areas you are interested in the progress.
daring glade
Hi all, im still waiting for my key from the kickstarter 😦
velvet tinsel
@daring glade You do have a email associated with you kickstarter account correct? if so you should check your spam filter and go to your kickstarter account to check for messages / mails
daring glade
@velvet tinsel yes, i check it all days, but nothing, i think could be lost in someway, i dont know 😦
velvet tinsel
@daring glade and you dont have anything in your spam folder?
daring glade
nope
i have send the support request to get my key again, so i think its time to wait again, 😦
velvet tinsel
@daring glade id honestly say to write a fomerly email to their customer support 😃
hollow rapids
@velvet tinsel the request through the website ends in the exact same results as a direct email.
verbal quiver
@hollow rapids the cs@intrepid email address is actually being retired hence why we are now sending people to the widget on the website, same results but soon the email won't be in use and everything will go through the website
