<@&257269635559194625> when are you gonna post the list for all the 64 classes?

boreal abyss

After Alpha0 I think they said? hmm

crystal beacon
#

No they said next month most likely before alpha 0

#

Will Alpha stage be under NDA or will we be able to stream the content?

magic cosmos
#

@wary gull Alpha 0 (in december) will be under NDA, the rest wont be under NDA.

crystal beacon
#

So only 18 months or so after alpha 0 the rest of us can hear the gossip? Win!

magic cosmos
#

@crystal beacon Depends on the terms of the agreement.

obtuse linden
#

I have a question πŸ˜ƒ how will the nodes/ towns/cities look, will they look different from each other even if they are in the same lvls and will they be created with the enviroment in mind πŸ˜ƒ ?

magic cosmos
#

@obtuse linden In the most recent stream they showed some of the different assets - I believe there will be racial based assets in different towns, other than that it's pretty much speculation at this point. Come talk with us in #aoc-discussion πŸ˜ƒ this is one of my favourite topics to theorycraft about.

obtuse linden
#

okay that sounds really promising then πŸ˜ƒ ! yeah i will hop over there right away πŸ˜ƒ

crystal beacon
#

Well the question I have, I doubt anyone here can answer.... if Steven wants to create Ashes to be the

#

'game he wants to play' then will he be getting the team to build parts of the game that he won't know about

#

Because half of the fun is finding something new and unexpected πŸ˜„

willow cloud
#

@obtuse linden Indeed, the style of the different levels will be influenced by the most dominant race on the node and the type of the node as well most likely (Military,Divine, Economical,etc) as far as we know atm

@glass swallow Hey thank you for following me on twitter! #wearenowbesties on a side note, do you know who i would ask about a package question? I wanted to upgrade to the leader of men package, in the package is says that there is a launch party invite, would i be able to bring a plus one? or is it just 1 invite for the purchaser?

glass swallow
#

I can most certainly find out πŸ˜ƒ

#

Travel and lodging is not included, we may in the future allow a plus 1 but the package as it stands is only for the backers benefit.

Q: When will Ashes of Creation launch?

A: We will see several Phases of Alpha and Beta leading up to launch:
Alpha 0 is scheduled for December 15, 2017. This is the raffle only Alpha that will
also grant access to some media and influencers. This Alpha is invite only.
Alpha 1 and 2 is scheduled all throughout 2018. This is for Kickstarter backers.
Beta is targeted to begin at the end of 2018 or the beginning of 2019.
Release estimate is "before 2020".

Let's say I join the game right after release, I'll supposedly be growing and evolving with that server. If someone wants to join in like idk 2 years after release,

  1. If he wants to join the server I'm in how would he progress?
  2. Will he be able to choose the same node I'm in?
  3. How will node "spawning" (I guess) work?
  4. What happens if a node is waay to OP?
  5. Will there be servers being created periodically to solve the problem in Q1, but then he wouldn't be able to play with me if I started early on?
  6. Will a new player be able to join in a server which is way to advanced?
  7. How big can the map be for that much players wanting to own terrain?
  8. How many players can a server have :P?

Sorry for asking so many questions, I'm just really looking forward to this game. πŸ˜…
Also sorry if some of the questions are extremely obvious. πŸ˜…

magic cosmos
#

@obsidian fractal

  1. He'd progress like a normal player that joined at any other time.
  2. Yes.
  3. The same way it already did.
  4. Nodes don't get OP.
  5. No, servers will probably be stegnant from launch unless more are needed for population (speculation)
  6. Yes, theres no such thing as "too advanced" the world is dynamic.
  7. There is instanced housing for this, and freeholds can be destroied to solve this.
  8. 10k players online at a time.
obsidian fractal
#

What will the release price be? Or you don't know yet.

glass swallow
#

No box cost

#

Monthly sub estimated at around 15$ per month

Only 10k players at a time

slow trout
#

If a person buys into Alfa-2, does that also mean they can do the subsquent releases, or do you need to buy into each release? Also, if you win an Alfa-1 key does that entitle you to subsequent releases or would you have to buy into them seperately? Lastly, when would subscription fees kick in? At the regular release or before that? I'm not opposed to paying for a quality product, I'm just planning/budgeting ahead of time. Thanks!

boreal abyss
#

If I remember correctly, you get access to all testing phases after the one you bought into. @lilac oxide mind verifying if I remember right?
Regular release is when Sub fees will kick in, they won't ask you to pay to play in the testing phases.

lilac oxide
#

If you mean KS packages then yes. It was written "all previous rewards" or smth among those lines. That would mean that if you bought alpha 1 package you get access to all test phases after that as well.

crystal beacon
#

@slow trout If you win an alpha zero key though, it will only be eligible just for that phase. As far as I know πŸ˜ƒ

flint barn
#

@crystal beacon Yes, alpha 0 keys are for alpha 0 only and does not grand access to other alpha or beta tests

dapper solstice
#

Somebody knows if they will put high quality resources inside the game? like high quality stones or iron ores if we have up the gathring tree

boreal abyss
#

It is possible. They did say something when it comes to the PAX PvE demo about how hitting the combo bar that appears may make you gather more, or better quality, gatherables @dapper solstice

dapper solstice
#

ok thank you πŸ˜‰

boreal abyss
#

But we have not heard anything in specific

dapper solstice

I'm really excinting by the gathering, crafting, trading,... it's one of the most interesting thing in mmorpg

ok^^

spare umbra
#

what is " zerging " ?

flint barn
boreal abyss
#

Aka, fighting with numbers

flint barn
#

^

#

Rather than tactics

spare umbra
#

ahh so out numbering your opponent ?

flint barn
#

@spare umbra Yes. If we take WoW as an example. When zerging a boss you would be able to ignore some boss mechanics, due to your group bursting down the boss that quickly, because you're at a numbers advantage

spare umbra
#

i see thanks ^^

visual isle
#

I thought they do weekly drawings?

magic cosmos
#

@visual isle They weren't.

visual isle
#

umm

hollow rapids
#

<@&257269635559194625> Is Linux support realistic, even if not available at release?

magic cosmos
#

@hollow rapids They already said they are only developing for Windows.

visual isle
#

Tirasmu have they stopped doing weekly draws?

copper coyote
#

today should be one

magic cosmos
#

@visual isle @copper coyote They sometimes forget, the times aren't set in stone - it's really whenever they get around to doing the drawing. It'll probably come later today.

visual isle
#

Okay, just wondering! Thanks for the help

flint barn
#

@visual isle There are drawings today

copper coyote
#

And today's drawing has been confirmed by @glass swallow

teal nebula
#

Did they post the drawing only in forum or in discord too ?

magic cosmos
#

@teal nebula Read above. The drawing is posted on both Discord and the Forums when it happens.

teal nebula
#

Ok thx u in the news section i think

magic cosmos
#

@teal nebula Yep!

glass swallow
#

The Key drawing will be announced in both Discord and Forums ❀

#

I am just awaiting confirmation now for when the announcement will be

teal nebula

Thx for ur help tiramisu and belewyn

stray fiber
#

When ashes is released, will I have to pay a box cost if I have already purchased a beta key?

flint barn
#

@stray fiber There will be no box cost, however there will be a monthly subscription

#

And it depends on what ks pack you bought

#

Braver of Worlds and above got lifetime subscription

@boreal abyss did that did not get response in over month

#

i do another thou

boreal abyss
#

Yeah, just do another one, your old one might have become burried since you are far from the only one πŸ˜ƒ

#

If that does not work, you should try and directly contact one of the mods like Belewyn or Sarumonin and ask them to help get the issue to light ^^

@flint barn @boreal abyss what if you are a zerg with tactics

#

So called 10th of a legion

verbal quiver
#

@deep roost send in another support ticket using the widget on the <www.ashesofcreation.com> homepage and the support team will get back to asap if you haven't heard back from that in a reasonable time send either myself or another mod a message and we will chase it up foryou

flint barn
#

@modern comet Well you can still zerg with tactics, but usually it's used to down a boss quicker

modern comet
#

Was with my mind in pvp xD

flint barn
#

@modern comet Zerging is basically just the term for being a larger group in a scenario where a large group is not necessary. So you can also zerg as a pvp group

modern comet
#

i know πŸ˜ƒ but more is better if if they play with a stratagie, thats why my guild needds raid/group leaders during a siege, so there are many dedicated teams that play together and those leaders lisson to the target caller. XD

#

@idle siren This might be an odd question, but I'm currently enrolled in school at SCAD in savannah GA as an interactive design prospective. Have you ever considered taking any interns on?

#

Very excited about your project and it would be awesome to help in any way

tight bridge
#

I wonder if this game will support costumizations like GUI addons/mods.

hollow rapids
#

@tight bridge the current standpoint is no, but there will be plenty of UI customization built into the game. This decision might change later into the development process

keen grove
#

@tight bridge they will however offer UI skins so that you can change how it looks ❀ not sure how many at this point though

tight bridge
#

Okay. But all of those customizations and skins are from intrepid right?

keen grove
#

I would believe so, yes.

<@&257269635559194625>
I've looked and may have been answered but cannot find.

  1. "Housing and Land" what are the terms of housing and land being recycled to be available to the public to be grabbed again. Most common knowledge is city siege and being deleveled and or node wiped.

However what about a strong long lasting node. A player got lucky to get prime land or housing but ends up going inactive for months for "reasons". Will his land or house be forfeited for auction after so long of inactivity, taxes not paid, subscription not paid? Be bad for someone to buy land and quit and it not being avaliable till a siege.

jaunty remnant
#

Will certain freeholds be more valuable than others? Examples, one free hold had a mine on it while another may have a fishing pond?

modest sierra
#

it should be based off of how large it is with it's node, adding extra buildings wont do much for value

boreal abyss
#

@eager rock
If taxes are not paid for property, player will lose that property.

opaque blade
#

<@&257269635559194625> I have been wondering for some time, when you level up a node from the bottom, do you get control over it (Like being a commander or King or another rank) or do you just get a house, and will you be able to get a higher rank in society?

boreal abyss
#

@opaque blade
No, leader of a node is selected through an election, type of election vary by type of node
You will also only be able to buy houses, you won't get them

flint barn
#

@opaque blade Depending on the node type, there will be different ways to get elected as a mayor

opaque blade
#

ok, but what type of power do you have over that city then

boreal abyss
#

Chose what to build

#

Tax control

flint barn
#

@opaque blade You will be able to select certain buildings that is being build within the node, as well as taxes

boreal abyss
#

You get a Dragon Mount if you rule a Metropolis (only while you are leader of it) hmm

opaque blade
#

Now that is something i can definitly live withthumbsup πŸ‘ŒπŸΏ

willow cloud
#

Note that even though you will have tax control, besides changing the given amount taxes, you will decide only on the allocation of the money when building within a node or city, you will not receive the actual taxes yourself to be able to run away with them Blobrogue

So the closest we can get to polictical corruption is funneling all the money into the entertainment district to make tons of gambling dens? :p

novel peak
#

Is Intrepid planning on being at PAC South in San Antonio?

willow cloud
#

@novel peak AFAIK no confirmation on any of the other PAX appearances just yet

novel peak
#

@willow cloud Thanks Drakolych, wish they would, I could actually attend that one. But would only go if they are attending.

willow cloud
#

I feel you, I think they will let us know in time. Hopefully they go and you get a feel of the game there πŸ˜ƒ

delicate wolf
#

An event near me?! I might actually go if they show!

neon schooner
#

Is it going to be possible to be the leader of multiple nodes at once? for example leader of a military and economic node

tulip hatch
#

no you have to be a citizen of that node to be the leader

neon schooner
#

oh makes sense, would be kind of weird to be a citizen of multiple nodes

zenith skiff
#

Well in real life you can be a citizen of more than one country so I dont see it weird to be a citizen of a Economic and a Military node, I actually think it would be cool to be able to be the leader of a Economic or Military node then a citizen of the other and then be able to participate in Economic and or Military node activities.

autumn trellis
#

@neon schooner There is of course the exception of nodes specifcally correlleted to Castles. So you will have your normal citizen ship for a regular node (which you can apply to be the leader of through the various method provided by the specfic type of node). Then there is also the five Castles in the world that each have (if not mistaken) 3 sub nodes attached to them. So if you were a GM and a leader of a specifc node you could have citizienship of two areas. But that's nitpicking details.

zealous ibex
#

So, I got the lifetime sub from the kickstarter, does it actually last a lifetime, or is there a time limit on it?

#

I heard 10 years was the limit that it'd last, but wanted to make sure

verbal quiver

Length of the game

Usually relates to life of the game servers

As long as the game is up u can play

#

Do the secondary classes let you progress through their tress as well? Or are they soley there to augment abilities? Like say all Warriors have charge. If you roll with a Mage, the charge becomes a blink, so there's no terrain issues. But it's still a charge, right?

Alpha 1, that's in december 2018. That's one year away right? I'm a fool >.<

delicate wolf
#

There will be a mod cast the 28th

fervent kiln
#

Quick question, one of the Kickstarter packs says Invite to Closed Alpha - Phase 1 (Earliest Access to Ashes!). Is that the same as Alpha Zero?

visual isle
#

No

delicate wolf
#

No

fervent kiln
#

So they lied on the Kickstarter?

delicate wolf
#

Alpha 0 is invite only

visual isle
#

You can only get into the alpha 0 from weekly draws and events

delicate wolf
#

^

visual isle
#

LOl

#

we were doin the same things

delicate wolf
#

lol

fervent kiln
#

Well taht feels horrible misleading

magic cosmos
#

Alpha 1 is the earliest public access to Ashes of Creation - Alpha 0 is similar to an in-house/closed test that was extended to members of the community via the means listed in the links above.

fervent kiln
#

Ya, just read through it. Sort of wish they would have said Earliest Paid Access to Ashes

#

instead of earliest access

#

Doesn't matter in the long run

#

Just a nuissance

#

Thanks for the help guys

neon schooner
#

@fervent kiln Also, alpha 0 is under NDA, alpha 1 isnt

teal nebula
#

Hello guys :) do you think there make eny guild allianz system ?

neon schooner
#

Yeah, they said there would be a guild alliance system in game I'm pretty sure

#

let me find the info for you if I can

teal nebula
#

thx :) i think it woud be nice to make alliances and eventually villants ( when it is the correkt word for an rival, or enemy alliance

median tiger
#

The people who bought the Founder - Early Bird Limited from the Kickstarter will we get access the the Alpha Zero in december?

upper turtle
#

@median tiger No, you'll get access to alpha 1 in 2018https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/257283936756039680/339971774060167168/q1z37bxpwyi1.png?width=1232&height=664

flint barn
#

@median tiger Alpha 0 keys are handed out by the devs randomly and handpicked each week

median tiger
#

So even when it said december 2017 when we pledge?

#

aight well thanks guys

upper turtle
#

@median tiger No the estimated delivery is dec 2018

median tiger
#

Yea for the full product

#

not the Alpha access. It said dec 2017

upper turtle
#

Where do you see this

median tiger
#

Guess it just my bad that I didnt take a picture of it back then, but when I pledged it said Dec 2017

#

I know they changed it to 2018 now, but still

upper turtle
#

Well it has always been publicly known that the kickstarter alpha known as alpha 1 was happening in late 2018 so much was said before they launched the kickstarter. But to sum it up no you dont get access to the closed alpha period in December 2017 - and lets stop the discussion in here, if you wish to continue this converstaion please take it to a discussion channel like #aoc-discussion :)

median tiger
#

But thanks for the replies guys

worthy hull
#

I thought the closed alpha 2 was first quarter 2018

#

the kickstarter email states closed alpha phase 2, is that just alpha 1?

verbal quiver
#

Alpha 0 the invite only closed test is december 15th 2017, Alpha 1 has been stated as december 2018 in the past by intrepid, alpha 2 and beta's don't have a date yet but steven has said that launch will be "before 2020"

worthy hull
#

that is not what i signed up for

verbal quiver
#

im sorry you feel that way this information has been avaiable since before kickstarter on the discord and the forums/ streams

worthy hull
#

well this kickstarter receipt says est deliver is december 2018 so maybe i just misread. says closed alpha phase 2, doesn't state alpha 1 or 2

#

i assumed that's when the game was coming out

#

not when the alpha was going live.

verbal quiver
#

@worthy hull it was mentioned on the discord and forums that it was the date for alpha 1, the first public access that can be brought into via the kickstarter

magic cosmos
#

@worthy hull 2018 Q4 is Alpha 1, Launch is before 2020

worthy hull
#

okay, so this "Closed Alpha Phase 2" = Alpha 1, then

verbal quiver
#

No alpha 2 is alpha 2

worthy hull
#

It says phase 2

magic cosmos
verbal quiver
#

yeah that's 2

keen grove
#

yes, the package you got, probably gives Alpha 2 Access. The way to get Alpha 1 access was paying $500 USD or more

worthy hull
#

follow my logic here

#

alpha 0 = phase 1

verbal quiver
#

No

worthy hull
#

alpha 1 = phase 2

verbal quiver
#

alpha 0 isn't apart of the normal testing periods

#

it's a closed testing period that you cannot buy into via the kickstarter etc, you only gain access via invite only or the weekly drawings

worthy hull
#

ok

verbal quiver
#

think friends and family sort of thing

worthy hull
#

that picture says alpha 1 is in q4 2018

#

the 3rd one is beta

#

i didnt pay for beta access

verbal quiver
#

that isn't a offical image and was made by the community

#

and if you purchased a pack that has a alpha in it you get access to the betas

worthy hull
#

i got that much lol

#

would just like to know when i can help playtest this game

#

this kickstarter receipt says dec 2018

#

so if that changed

#

then I will be sad

verbal quiver
#

it was never changed, that was always mentioned as the date for alpha 1.

worthy hull
#

im just going off of what the email tells me, so ok

#

looks like its just an est del for the game which got pushes back to 2020, so all good here

#

still got one more xpac in wow left in me until then

abstract swift
#

@worthy hull I think you are just confused b/c the picture ONLY mentioned alpha 1, and not 2.. so i would put closed alpha 2 in early 2019 i guess... @_@

worthy hull
#

feels bad

#

feels very bad

#

Does anyone have the QnA for the last stream? If there even was one.

tropic karma
#

@worthy hull

Yeah, I feel you man. I'm disappointed we'll have to wait so long to play it, but so long as it ends up being of the highest quality and the wait ends up being justified I'll be a happy camper. By the time it comes out hopefully I'll have a PC that can max it out at 4K lol.

From the gameplay that's been released (like this for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4YDvOW8qZ4 ) I figured they were further in development, but I see I was incorrect RIP.

Thanks!

#

Are we allowed to ask the developers questions in this channel? I know they're really busy, but I'd love to know what it's been like for them working in Unreal Engine 4 and how it would have compared to developing their own engine for this kind of game. I've made some pretty terrible games in Unity so that kind of thing I think is really interesting to me. Or, have they already talked about this at all?

It's a cool choice they opted for UE4 -- I know a lot of other recent MMOs are built with UE3 like Bless.

willow cloud
#

@tropic karma They have been touching on it a couple of times already in streams, I am not sure where, can't look it up atm. To summarize, they said U4 is pretty nice and to work with, because the front end of it is quite developed and it provides quite a beautiful visuality, like you can see in the environment and at the same time they can change the back end of the coding to suit a massive world that Ashes will have.
The short version of their official answer is in the FAQ on the website:
https://www.ashesofcreation.com/faq/

As for questions, if you have specifics, you can tag them as "@ Intrepid Studios" on this channel and they might pick it for the Q&A session on livestreams or they might answer in the "intrepid_answers" channel.

@willow cloud

Thanks! I'll do some looking around for the streams then. Very helpful

#

Will we be able to click our spells/abilities on the action bar using the cursor? Or can we only use keybindings or 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 ect?

delicate wolf
#

@wheat kraken Both

#

There will be 3 types of combat systems you can chose from, Tab target, Action/battle oriented and a hybrid version of the 2 if I'm not mistaken.

magic cosmos
#

You are correct, the system will allow the player to pick skills of each type, some will be tab target-able abilities and some will be action abilities, creating a hybrid system. @delicate wolf @wheat kraken

That's awesome! I was worried because I enjoy how I can target mobs and click my spells in my action bar like in WoW but in ESO you can't target enemies and can only use keybindings or numbers 1-5 (didn't like it) was worried AoC would have a similar setup, I'm very relieved!

boreal abyss
#

I dont think he meant Action vs Tab Targeting skills, I think he meant actually clikc the symbols oin the bar with the mouse hmm

@boreal abyss yup, that's what I ment. Sorry, I'm kinda old school point and click lol

@simple ether I'm not sure about guilds, but it has been said that you can get married and have shared buildings with your family. Deaths proxy has a specific youtube video on the subject

Ok thanks

#

How much will the game actually tell you about the game, and how much do you have to learn for yourself?

Almost nothing hmm

#

Will have to learn yourself for the most part

#

basic things will be explained in starting zone

deft wadi
#

Ah

#

Ok thanks

plucky temple
#

@boreal abyss In all kindness, where the hell did you get that info?

boreal abyss
#

They have mentioned on stream that the starting zone will let you do a bit of everything to get the gist of how it is/works
And they've mentioned that there will be little to no handholding, meaning you will have to figure stuff out yourself hmm

plucky temple
#

it's true the game wants you to explore things by yourself. but it doesn't say anywhere that "you will get a glimpse of everything at the starting zone" lol

boreal abyss
#

Weird, and here I thought i heard them say
"YOu will get to do a bit of everything in the starting zone, battling monsters, a bit of crafting, a bit of dungeoneering etc" hmm

#

Guess I hear illusions now hmm

plucky temple
#

Sure you will battle some monsters and craft yourself a wooden stick at/around the starting zone. But that's not called "a glimpse of everything"

#

Best example, don't expect any Naval Battles on the starting zone

Does Intrepid plan on adding a first person mode like ESO?

hollow rapids
#

@visual isle While we have no official information on it, it is highly unlikely, as it is a niche feature that only existed in ESO due to its history in the elder scrolls titles.

Okay thanks

#

So far we have had a lot of information on freeholds, but will be be able to create these during the alpha? I would assume they would be there during the Beta.

boreal abyss
#

We do not know for sure, but it is a possibility

#

THey did mention that one of the nodes available in the A0 will be levelable to Stage 3, which is hte needed Stage for Freeholds
So going by that, in the regular Alpha, it is probable, but we do not know for sure

#

@serene sparrow

crystal beacon
#

Hey can someone better explain to me the situation I have here? I bought the alpha 2 package on the site for like 240 or something, then someone tells me that everyone gets alpha just not alpha zero. I'm confused on whether or not that's true and what exactly that money is paying for.

verbal quiver
#

@crystal beacon who ever said that everyone get's alpha, is wrong. lol only people who brought access get into the alphas/betas, except for alpha 0 witch people win access to in giveaways/ and the weekly drawings

crystal beacon
#

@verbal quiver Thank you!

crystal beacon
#

@simple ether, @crystal beacon : Great answer, however Friends and family alpha was getting involved and playing in PaX I believe so that's come and gone

#

Yes. However your answer, being potentially wrong, I was just aiming to clear up any confusion

#

"Friends and Family (Technically Pre-Alpha) will be this year."

#

You presented a formal response that was incorrect. Given that this is a formal questions channel, it is important that ALL of the information given out is as correct as we can make it.

#

Yes. But when was that written? I'm not aiming to start an arguement, what I mentioned was not challenging you, but gently pointing out an error. Please take it with the graceful correction that it is intended

I apologise for any involvement with the question community, as it appears that arguments arise.

Q: When will Ashes of Creation launch?

A: We will see several Phases of Alpha and Beta leading up to launch:
Alpha 0 is scheduled for December 15, 2017. This is the raffle only Alpha that will
also grant access to some media and influencers. This Alpha is invite only.
Alpha 1 and 2 is scheduled all throughout 2018. This is for Kickstarter backers.
Beta is targeted to begin at the end of 2018 or the beginning of 2019.
Release estimate is "before 2020".

Friends and Family Alpha was estimated for Nov 2017

will will alpha 0 testers be shifted to beta 0 and still give out beta 0 keys OR they'll start all over with beta key giveaway 0 to get fresh meat?

Alpha 0 keys are specific to that Phase. Beta Keys in turn are as well. KS / SS backers have tiered access as described in the respective description

hi! in animal husbandry, will there be a type of taming that would be similar to beekeeping?

Speaking of Animal husbandry, will we see something similar or better than BDO for mounts?

slate geyser
#

k ive watched ALOT of videos, i have been pushing for guild memebers from several other games to all come together when this releases. WoW, Gw2,Eq2, BDO, RidersofIcuras ect.. we posted a forum on our guild page discusing the game and several guild meme-bers have the same basic concerns and agree mutually that they would like to see in the game.

#

one of the concerns is Guild structures UI ect... Will there be a guild ranking structure, friendly guild window (simular to eq2 maybe a few more features). Some Features Many want to see in the game is a Guild Hall for Trophies decorating ect..and if we build in the frontier is it going to be restricted zone building like in Fail archeage or will it be more like the Landmark Land Claiming system that everyone seemed to like more.

boreal abyss
#
  1. There will be a Guild Alliance/Enemy system so an UI will be there for that
  2. There are Guild Halls, they can probably be customized to some extent (There will also be Fortresses, that Guilds can capture in the world, or others can try and take from you)
  3. There are also Castles that Guilds can try and take (that also gives Guilds 3 Sub-Nodes of the Castle for them to control)
  4. As of now, it seems like Guild Halls can only be built in Cities (with the exception of Fortresses that are out in the world)
    (Nr. 4 is not confirmed directly, it's my own assumption based on dev's saying "Guildhalls will unlock certain actions a guild can perform within a city and node like the Shareholder system")
#

@slate geyser

#

Could just as well be that they meant that as long as the Guild Hall is within a Node's Zone of Influence it will unlock those things

slate geyser
#

im hoping they do a good job with the Guild system , take their time and do it right, to us are a core part of any community especially with no defined territorial factions system, the way its sounds is its all player AI generated so there has to be some sort of static system for the community to create stability.

boreal abyss
#

For me it sounds like they will, but we can only wait and see. I have hope tho as Steven was a big Guild's leader himself.
And yeah, stability will all depend on the players themselves as players are the one who will be driving all conflict and advancement.
But if you want to discuss it more, let's take it to #aoc-discussion πŸ˜ƒ

i see small choice of skills in pre-alpha videos. Will u make this choice more various? I pray for your game, cause it can be like second ArcheAge. And I also would be equiped with huge count of abilities like in Archeage. As example.. Items from Kraken, dragon, gliders with useful abilities and etc. I really hope u will understand my bad english. Thank u.

boreal abyss
#

@timid epoch
The skills for Alpha 0 is a small amount of the total of skills
I believe they mentioned something like 30++ skills in the skill tree in the end
However, you will only have a single Skill Tab, which means you can only use so and so many skills at a time (think it was 10)
So you won't be having it like multiple skill bars like in ArcheAge

Q: Has there been any defining of guild size constraints or constraints on # of players in a given node? [I did find a reference to 300 guild member cap in #answers but it was from a community member and confirmed by Mod Sarumonin as the current cap. Curious if any updates.]

modest sierra
#

yea it's solid that 300 will be guild cap

Is Alpha 0 going to run right up until (or close to) Alpha 1 release, or just for a little while?

tulip hatch
#

Alpha 0 does not have a solid time frame yet however it is not intended to be a year long the longest we have heard is 3 months.

Ah okay, thanks

Quick question, if I have the KS braver of worlds pack, will I have access to this upcoming beta?

Hey Intrepid, will there be any way the players can use API keys in order to see information about players before there recruited? This is mainly to prevent spies from infiltrating guilds if such thing is even possible like it is in Eve Online.

#

Alpha stages if I remember correctly are all going to be server wipes and huge updates. @haughty wharf So you and I have access to all alphas and betas

#

Also you don’t pay for subscription, if you didn’t know

@crystal beacon There is a subscription per month, when the game launches

Can we buy alpha 1-2 accesses in the future ?

Mounted combat yes no maybe?

Ok that's flying mounts for a handful of people, but what about the rest of us?

We know mounts will have abilities and some might be useful in combat http://aocwiki.net/Mounts

Well some people can get "gliding" mounts like the ones from kickstarter, but only a few people will have the true flying mounts

remember the "mounts" from the kickstarter are 'mount skins' not the mounts themselves

#

Umm question , when do Alpha keys get delivered? Also where does one read the (N.D.A.)?

tulip hatch
#

Alpha keys will be applied directly to the account closer to the alpha. NDA will be sent via email that will come in the near future

brave tide
#

How will we be installing the game (steam, emailed installer?)

glass swallow
#

Not steam

#

If in alpha 0 after NDA is cleared, instructions will be emailed

calm depot
#

Should we receive and email soon if we won a key in the ExtraLife event?

cloud flare
#

@calm depot There's no official ETA on the emails regarding the keys. I imagine they'll come out the same time regardless of how you got them. I imagine they'll be a post on the forums when it does eventually happen.

You can find most answered questions on <www.aocwiki.net> they have the transcripts of the streams and questions asked

ruby pewter
#

@reef mulch how will the spawn system work say for example if me and my freinds want to form a guild straight away if we picked different races will be spawned if different locations

#

in different locations*

#

or is there way to spawn in the same place?

#

so we can go to same node as each other

ruby pewter
#

I have another question what government type is divine? is it king/queen

tulip hatch
#

Divine- the Religious node is based on the most religious member in the node they mentioned something about quests; not a whole lot of information has been given regarding this specific government type.
King and Queens only refer to castle owners

cloud flare
#

@ruby pewter AoC Wiki says the leaders of divine nodes are selected by Service quests. Their source of that info is listed as the Nodes part 2 video.

ruby pewter
#

@cloud flare thanks for that oh okay rng so im guessing is this to with religion ranks or separate scale?

tulip hatch
#

Yes there will be a religion ranking type system

cloud flare
#

@ruby pewter Sadly I'm not sure any of that has been officially stated, so my next comment would be speculation. But I'd imagine since its a divine node, likely it'd be quests related to giving back to the religion and community. So likely a separate scale that is based on the individuals status. I'd recommend bringing this up in the Ashes Discussion channel though, as some others might have ideas on what it could be.

tulip hatch
#

A religion ranking system was stated on a stream before along with the religious quests.

ruby pewter
#

yh it was stated but does faith increase the rank of your religion? and are they interlink

#

for divine nodes

tulip hatch
#

From the information we were given yes, but again there is very little info about the mechanics for this at this time

#

An example given is the more a player prays at their nodes temple the higher they would be and the more benefits they would recieve than someone who does not pray as often or at all.

ruby pewter
#

@tulip hatch thanks so I will have to see if the relgions give huge buffs to either crafting/advance class enchantments or primary classes

#

huge may be the wrong word but buffs would be okay i.e any perks

tulip hatch
#

Religions are confirmed to give you additional augmentations for your skills

wary root
#

Will there be incentives to play as certain races or religions depending on what type of character you want to be? Eg. would it be stronger to play a dwarf tank than an elven tank?

chrome coyote
#

For the religion part read up 2 comments

tulip hatch
#

We know that each race has different base stats for sure but wont be so impactful that you can only play that race for x class to be useful.

crystal beacon
#

so i'm not positive on the wording. do kickstarter backers earn all the summer backer stretch goals also?

autumn trellis
#

@crystal beacon Games for tavern, group mounts, Added Ship, underrealm node, social org, underrealm race (tulnar), stock exhange. Those will all be included.

crystal beacon
#

ik i mean the ones on intrepids website for the summer one

autumn trellis
#

Can you link so i can see exactly what you're talking about? @crystal beacon

autumn trellis
#

if tha's the question then i'll need to kick that up @kind vapor or @hollow fiber

zealous harbor
#

@crystal beacon Easy answer is no. If you want the summer package or individual items within it, you need to purchase those.

#

Thats including if you backed on KS. They are purchased in addition to your original package, not included with it.

crystal beacon
#

yeah the wording threw me off

ruby swift
#

@crystal beacon you will recieve the stretch goals from the summer funding for free as a Kickstarter backer. The dance, the furniture set, and the Wand of many things from Summer will be credited to all KS backers. Anything else that you want is ala carte as mentioned above. It has been stated a couple times that those options will remain available to either upgrade your current KS or add ala carte items from the summer campaign until the artwork for the rewards is released.

what about open world pvp in AoC?

boreal abyss
#

What about it?

empty fjord
#

So, I have a housing question. when placing a freehold, will possible mob spawns stop a good distance from the plot, or would I need to place the freehold where there are no frequent mob spawns/roams?

serene sparrow
#

I have a question to add to that. If mobs do come by your freehold, can they damage it or cause an issue?

ruby pewter
#

A quick question what days do they twich stream and what time

stable plover
#

the next stream is in 9 days 7 hours - it's about twice a month, but there's no pattern I can see - I reccomend AoC wiki for their countdown to next stream (only visible after stream times have been announced) http://aocwiki.net/Main_Page

#

For the last two freehold questions - I don't think we have that info on freehold placement rules, and unknown about mobs damageing freeholds - I would expect them to be safe from normal mobs, but they might have trouble with event mobs? Freeholds have hireable guards that the devs mentioned will help protect them during node seiges. Perhaps freehold guards would also help with monster events?

How many guilds per node?

verbal quiver
#

@crystal beacon nodes arn't owned by guilds πŸ˜‰

crystal beacon
#

no no i mean number 5 guilds per node likevise

verbal quiver
#

yeah there's no cap for guilds in nodes, you may be thinking of a castle?

crystal beacon
#

tell me difference between castle and node ?

#

node is like city isn't it?

verbal quiver
#

Castles are owned by a guild, where nodes are like towns anyone can use/ vist etc

#

there's some links that might help explain it πŸ˜ƒ

ruby pewter
#

@glass swallow said on dudgeon crawler network that guild size will be 300 and guilds can have 2 other allied guilds per node but i think that if the node the is owns the node

#

if the node is owned by the guild

verbal quiver
#

Guilds don't own the nodes.

ruby pewter
#

but were disccusing something that not made yet so wait to aplha 2 or beta

verbal quiver
#

There's elections for who "leads" the node but that is a individual not a whole guild

hi belewyn

if guild dont own node then why guild need to protect node?

Morning. Shu is right.

coz maybe guild wants to keep that node militarian or religious

coz perks

verbal quiver
#

The players protect their node for trade etc

ruby pewter
#

@glass swallow can you form guilds from level one or do you need at least a level 3 node to unlock the option to

crystal beacon
#

in that case there will have unbeatable node which has number of guild supports

Unsure what level guilds can be created

#

even the 300 members is still not 100% set in stone

ruby pewter
#

tbh 300 members is it bit small should be at least 500-1000 players per guild

#

to increase the size of the community

thats what alliances are for

@ruby pewter i don't think the exact combination has been revealed yet, we are getting the list of combo's soonβ„’

crystal beacon
#

ahh another question. happen when trade node clash with military node? do they have power to defend?

#

*what

ruby pewter
#

there no trade node but economic they will have the same defense if there same level it just different government type

#

or different way to get into government

crystal beacon
#

holy ...... then where can I get information about this government thing

ruby pewter
#

economic the riches people rule the military one is the last person standing

verbal quiver
ruby pewter
#

scientific is voting ie a republic and divine a rng quest about who has the most faith

#

I think you have more pvp quest or killing more trash mobs etc that what I feel

#

with militarily nodes sort of like clients states in civ

#

each one does different quests

#

yh that chat is going way of topic XD

half spindle
#

What intrepid’s gonna do to prevent the top 5 guilds for example to form an alliance and control a whole node and even the server with enough influence, they’re gonna do something to prevent things like that ?

half spindle
#

I hope you’re right, btw talking about castles
Is the number of castles limited ?
And just how big the map will be that you’re saying the distance will be a factor in the game

autumn trellis
#

Also, what if the top five guilds do "own" a node, there are another 4-5 nodes you can go to. Also those guilds wont be really focused on the "node" in the ZOI as much as their focus will be on the 5 or so castles in the game.

#

@half spindle Yes castles will be limited, currently there are only thinking of having 5 castles in the game. The size of hte map will be substantial, distance will matter seeing as they're pretty adament about the carriage system, and the fact that there is no "fast travel".

half spindle
#

Ok , but how big the map will be?
can they compare it to other games ?

tulip hatch
#

They have previously stated that it will be much larger than any game out there currently.

glass swallow
#

Speculation but I get the feeling it will be comperable to the full map of BDO

autumn trellis
#

it's gonna be yuge!

We can not answer that at this time without it being purely speculation.

Thats 13123.4 Ft X 13123.4ft

humble talon

But we have no idea what 4x4 means really.

#

KM isn't really a standard computer game measurment

#

Would be nice to get a measument of how long it takes to run from one end to the other in a straight line or something

boreal abyss
#

it is in UE4
1 unit in length there is 1m so they most likely did mean that the zone in A0 will be approx 16 km in areal

stable plover
#

by my math 3,136 square kilometers is the absolute smallest the AoC world map could be, with it likely being significantly larger

humble talon
#

Including water?

stable plover
#

including a very small, relatively speaking, ammount of water

humble talon
#

Meaning sea and stuff. Cuz there was gonna be that as well right

#

So, the size of Samoa xD

strong talon
#

I just noticed that pax alpha packages and wandering if alpha 1 members also have access to alpha two as well?

verbal quiver

@strong talon if you purchased alpha 1 in the kickstarter or summer backing you get access to alpha 2 and the betas

if u purchased the $500 pledge that contained the alpha 1 you get everything that was in the lesser packs πŸ˜ƒ

Could we get some informations / stories about the gods of vera? I m writing a novel and would include them Q_Q

@grave dock As far as we know the clothing options wont be skimpy by default in the game if I remember correctly

@digital sequoia they're (Steven is) keeping their lore under lock and key until the game is released ((I think they meant beta but i'm unsure)). So you wont be getting much about the gods out of them just yet... I've tried, multiple times.

loud seal
#

@merry frigate are you ironic dude ?

ruby pewter
#

@tulip hatch so will there be any downgrades items like in BDO or just upgrading items sort of like the monster hunter system if you got the items needed for the upgrade it upgrades with no cost @idle siren

tulip hatch
#

I am sorry S'lade as far as I know that information has not been released.

autumn trellis
#

@ruby pewter As in like blackstones/sharps/hards for upgrading?

#

There is currently no word regarding an item (like black stones) for upgrading ones gear/weapons/ect.. What we do know is that crafting/upgrading will be recipe based, with little RNG. That you can deconstruct epic gear to learn how to make it yourself, and that there may be some RNG when upgrading/over enchanting items. (Ex given: Comes with a risk of enchanting lets sa a +10 sword there may be some RNG regarding that) but whether that's a straight success/failur or if that includes downgrading they have not stated yet.

#

Is summoner the only class that will have pets?

chrome coyote
#

No all classes wil.l tamer is a artisan class @worn steeple

stable plover
#

@worn steeple I also assume that several archetypes could give pets when paired with summoner as the secondary archetype - we don't really know the details yet

chrome coyote
#

I am hoping for that but nothing has been said on it

crystal beacon
#

they have pointed out that beast summoning is limited to summoner primary only. take that as you will

stable plover
#

okay yeah what Oak said, sounds like no combat summons for anyones besides summoner primary archetype

crystal beacon
#

is tamer artisan class? then do we need to buy pets mount instead of taming them?

#

Yeah. Based on the info we have if you are not a tamer you will have to buy mounts/pets from player tamers/breeders

#

or beg for one

#

how many artisan class then? I thought only crafting,cooking and gathering

#

Unknown but i would guess upwards of 5.

#

Each class also has a gathering, processing, and crafting skill path

#

oh sorry, Steven actually stated there will be over a dozen crafting professions

Well it is all there in the kickstarter Glass, although not very well presented or explained well in the Glass. The FAQs state alpha-1/2 start 2018. Glass state alpha0 is separate from Alpha-1. They state Key draws are for alpha0 (the weekend alpha) and that its will take place in 2017. So they do state alpha 0, 1 and 2 are separate enterties, with different timelines. And that alpha zero entry is via key draws.

i want to ask, will there be character wipes when its alpha 0 to alpha 1 or when its alpha to beta, or when its beta to release or none at all

Will there possibly be a 1v1 arena?

humble talon
#

You could just duel challenge I guess.

#

@ancient lintel No 1v1 arenas

#

Balancing 64 classes for 1v1 is impssoible.

@ancient lintel Here is the information we have on arenas thus far. http://aocwiki.net/PvP#Arenas

Do we have information about how long alpha 0 is going to last?

crystal beacon
#

I believe I saw somewhere -- a week? Don't quote me on that though...

empty fjord
#

Sooo. Alpha 1 and 2 will start earlier than Dec 2018?

#

@glass swallow when you say Alpha 1 and 2 will run all throughout 2018. and beta at end or 2018/beginning of 2019, when roughly could we expect alpha 1 to start? mid 2018?

glass swallow
#

This is taken as a direct quote from an interview given by Steven. At this time there are no definitive dates provided

empty fjord
#

well definitively sounds like much earlier than Dec 2018 if they plan betas for end of 2018/beginning of 2019. unless alpha 1 and 2 are a few weeks long

#

I shall hold out for more info, thanks for the answer πŸ˜ƒ

How does the month of game time for backers work? Do we get the game a month before everyone else? same with 2, 3, 4, and 6?

I took it to mean that you get a month of subscription

#

So play a month before it comes out?

#

Oh I feel you

no current indications on an ETA for closure of that upgrade pathway

#

The servers are gonna be permanent, right? They won't wipe or reset after a certain length of time?

boreal abyss

They will only wipe while in testing before the game releases

#

are there any weapon skill lines than class skills?

crystal beacon
#

If I purchased the pax thing - can I upgrade to the Braver of Worlds option or is separate? Can I refund the pax key in favor of the Braver of Worlds?

tulip hatch
#

they are seperate packages

#

the only packages that can be upgraded currently are the kickstater packages

glass swallow
#

The PAX packages if purchased may not be upgraded to KS / SS backer packages. Additionally the PAX packages may not be upgraded from lets say a Beta to an Alpha.

crystal beacon
#

Thanks

glass swallow

Anytime πŸ˜ƒ

If I did not participate in the original kickstarter, am I able to participate in the upgrade campaign?

I do believe that all SS add-on options are discontinued, unless you are a KS backer then those should still be present for you.

How does upgrading a kickstarter package work?

Plus is the kickstarter package just a pledge or what

#

<@&257269635559194625> Will pvp gear be seperate from pve gear? If there is a way to balance it, I think it'd be much more appealing to use 1 set of gear for everything - not have to farm pvp gear just to be relevant

tulip hatch
#

They have said no to that question on stream.

calm depot
#

thanks πŸ˜ƒ

stable plover
#

@tame hill To upgrade a kickstarter package you must have a kickstarter package to upgrade, go to the store on the website, click access kickstarter upgrades, you pay the difference in the non-early bird price of your kickstarter package and the upgraded package you select - You pay the money immediately if that's what you mean by 'is it just a pledge'.

I have a question my whole guild wants the answer to (Enmity): How long are you flagged red? And is the time different depending on the level of hate you have? Or is a flag indefinite no matter what until you're killed.

While there be outposts within the world or guilds, smaller guilds, or alliance to fight over. Sort of like an ever changing battle frontage, that can affect seiges?

crystal beacon
#

Lol, yeah. I understand you want it. But I'm telling you that you should not count on it. I've done many alphas/betas, and nothing from Intrepid leads me to believe they'll allow any streaming whatsover. The alpha rules are so strict by themselves.

#

As with many others, my buddy and I are both Alpha 0, and the rules say we can't even discuss Alpha 0 with Each Other.
