Did you upgrade from a lower package to a higher tier?

minor pecan
#

I bought the Wayfarer pre-order pack thats in the store currently, gonna upgrade that to Intrepid pack when they update the store functions. The order is showing under my accounts order history but I was just a bit concerned of not having any kind of receipt of it. Gonna contact CS after the upgrade me thinks πŸ€”

abstract swift
#

Any update on the last live stream for this month or are they pushing it till next month?

dark jungle
#

No update as yet @abstract swift

native cliff
#

Is there anything that will keep one guild or an alliance of the top guilds from controlling absolutely everything in each server? Or is it just, the strongest survives type thing?

proven arrow
#

well it would have to be an honor system because there's nothing stopping people in EVE from owning everything . you just gotta hope the top guilds have enough disagreements to keep everyone wanting to fight

#

i havent checked on this game in a while so sorry if this question has been answered: will armour have specific stats for pvp and pve - ie WOW - resilience ??

bleak sinew
#

I believe that there is no difference in armour between PvE and PvP. As it is open world and PvE and PvP would shift seemlessly between each other it would be very hard to have different stats for Armour for each.

neat panther
#

Also I think WoWs resilience is no more anyway.

bright lance
#

its not but i just needed a way of explaining myself xD

Hi

#

Is there a PvP Team that focuses mainly on PvP

stable plover
#

@native cliff I'd say the big thing intended to keep one group from controlling everything is travel time

#

like a pvp specific developer?

humble spoke
#

@stable plover I agree

#

Yes

#

Have someone PvP focused questions

stable plover
#

not that we know of

humble spoke
#

Is this the place to shoot off ideas are stuff

stable plover
humble spoke
#

Thanks

stable plover
#

There are several employees working for Intrepid that we don't know the specific tasks they handle

humble spoke
#

Yeah that is probably true....just wanted to see if I could @ them certain questions

#

Such as hard crowd control abilities, cc breaks, healing, etc

stable plover
#

We know some stuff about hard CC, cc breaks, and healing depending on what the specific questions you have are

humble spoke
#

Will each class have a cc break?

stable plover
#

As of the last set of abilities we've seen Mages, Rangers, and Tanks all do, but clerics don't seem to have a cc break -- we're expecting all of the classes to end up with more abilities overall than they currently have so I'd say that doesn't neccesarily exclude the cleric from ever getting one - Rangers seem to have 2

humble spoke
#

Okay good answer.....Will I be viable in ashes to play Solo or would group play be mandatory since it has such a high pvp focus

#

Pertaining to the caravan system

stable plover
#

Caravan system will move items on much bigger scale than an individual character (an order of magnitude more)
Caravan system is not just for transfer of personal goods
Used for quests, nodes, trade routes to help build nodes
Caravans to be used to build up castle systems
I can carry enough goods to support myself, anything large then the caravan system comes into play
Solo player relatively safe, caravan system comes with risks

#

You theoretically could run a caravan as a solo player, it probally just wouldn't be very efficent / safe

humble spoke
#

Okay do we know how healing is gonna work

stable plover
#

From what we've heard it's mainly, Cleric main archetype is the only character that can heal others, cleric secondary gives self healing, check out the list of cleric class skills for specific healing spells so far

humble spoke
#

Okay because I was wondering if other classes could heal themselves a small amount

#

or like a warrior going into berserk style of healing but not healing just like a dmg reduction for a period of time

hidden smelt
#

is aoc gonna be f2p?

neat panther
#

No, no box cost, but sub only.

paper pulsar
#

15$/month is what ive heard

neat panther
#

Yes

humble spoke
#

I heard that also I think

hidden smelt
#

oh i hate subs, that was the reason i quit wow

humble spoke
#

Well I think this game will have a sub with no box cost that isn't too bad @hidden smelt have you paid into ashes at all yet because if you did you already have some game time

keen moat
#

where can i enter the weekly drawing ?

humble spoke
#

I am not too sure try asking on of the mods

copper coyote
#

@keen moat the only requirement is that you have account on the website

azure vector
#

will there be sunrise and sunset, including moon rise and moonset??

humble spoke
#

Hmmmm good question

azure vector
#

it would be very upsetting if there was a moonrise with no moonset

stable plover
keen moat
#

aaand is the the option to get kickstarter like status somehow ?

#

with access to the "extra" character options etc

stable plover
keen moat
#

so the answer is no

humble spoke
#

So how will alts work on ashes??

stable plover
#

@humble spoke There will be some kind of account management page to move account bound items between characters, There will be multiple character slots , alts can join seperate guilds, no fast transfer of resources between alts

lusty helm
#

When is alpha 1 out for ashes??

humble spoke
#

No date yet

stable plover

We're expecting A1 between Q3-Q4

empty fjord
proven arrow
#

Most people are stating A1 in Q3-Q4 as a sort of 'Worst case scenario' time frame. I think they would all enjoy it coming sooner though.

empty fjord
#

I'm just forwarding the latest word from Steven. I would like to know where the Q3-Q4 comes from other than the outdated wiki

copper coyote
#

where and how old that picture is?

Is there something wrong with the referral system? I had 7 friends clicked my link, but i cant see them under visit

#

nothing have updated since january 27

stable plover
empty fjord
#

One of the wikis listed didn't have the interview listed. But Dec 2018 or as early as Q4 for alpha 1

ruby swift
#

@crystal beacon If your friends are using an adblocker their visits most likely won't count. Same if they are using one and register using your link. They know about the issue.

raw bough
#

any updates on what us PAX package holders (2 September 2017 timeframe) will end up with? wil we lose the items for the package, be forced to change to a pre-order package? can we keep our PAX packages if we want them?

glass swallow
#

You have the option to exchange it

#

It is optional and not required

crystal beacon
#

@ruby swift Trust me. Thats not a problem with adblocker. Have made a support ticket. Something is wrong with the referral system. I am suspecting its because of the homepage upgrading.

ruby swift
#

From the forum support page. First post by Belle. Q: Help! My referral clicked my link but I can't see it. Can you help?
A: Unfortunately, our current system does not allow us to track referrals beyond what you see yourself. As a result, we also do not have a way to manually fix a referral if it did not take. Please note that we know for sure that if the referral uses an ad blocker or cookie blocker on their browser, the referral will not track. We are looking into upgrading our Referral system, however we don't currently have any details on what this will change in that regard, if anything.

empty fjord
#

Still no word on next stream? They did say there was going to be one before end of the month right? around the time of the next A0 phase?

echo oyster
#

Yes

verbal quiver
#

@empty fjord Currently we do not have a set date for the next stream, once we know there will be a annoucement in #news and also on the forums.

keen moat
#

hey how does melee combat work ? is it tab target or action ? or more in generall, they said the make a mix, so what is action combat and what it is tab targeting ?

empty fjord
#

Black desert online has action combat, Archeage has tab target. check videos on those to get an idea of the difference

keen moat
#

i know the difference

#

i want to know which parts of aoc combat are what type

empty fjord
#

I believe during the A0 they do tab targeting, but they said that combat is only like 15% done

#

they have said it's going o be a mix hybrid between the two, but how that will work is beyond me

dark jungle
#

you bascially have a choice between tab based skills and action based skills, you can put one or the other or both types of skills on your action bar, its up to you how you want to play your character

keen moat
#

nice

#

ty

abstract swift
#

I think the third type of skills are quick-timed events for more of a high risk, high reward. Its not confirmed, but im sure steven hinted that there will be more then just action and tab target. Also, with the way the auto attack system is, it wouldn't be a surprise if he decides to put that mechanic to other skills as well.

proven arrow
#

Just don't expect them to go in the direction of revelation or black desert. Steven has stated how he doesn't like that sort of combat in a few interviews.

crystal beacon
#

Hello, I miss the starting of this exceptionnal project, and I didn't see all informations who already have...
My first question is about "tank" archetype, it's the final name or it can evolve ? I think it can be more role playing friendly if the name was change by "Pro..." oh already taken by Cleric/Ranger combinaison... so "Defender" perhaps ? it also better for future localization.
About localization, what did you planned about this ? By professionnals or players ?
Finally, faction (guild/city) are created by players, but we can do multicutural society with all races ? society based on common value like force, freedom or thievery ? a race based "faction" ?

stable plover
#

Some of the KS items like guild cloaks are specifically tradeable, most aren't

proven arrow
#

They don't want any kind of pay 2 win so no trading beyond the guild cloaks. (Cash shop and KS items)

glass swallow
#

The additional keys with some of the higher tier backers will also be tradable

ruby swift
#

And the guild cloaks aren't technically tradeable for like sale. The quote is once you assign your guild perks to a guild, they become the property of the guild.

proven arrow
#

If someone leaves the guild can I hunt them down and break their kneecaps?

ruby swift
#

Yes, but they won't be wearing your cloak or barding...they lost access to that when they left.

proven arrow
#

Damn I was hoping we could do a little uncivil forfeiture...

empty fjord
#

if the guild disbands or if the person who had the leader of men pack or something that gives guild items leave, will those items return to that person? or will they be lost?

dark jungle
#

the items "become an asset of the guild" and the original owner "no longer has access" to these items if they leave the guild. this means that they will be lost if the guild ever disbanded because by disbanding all members effectively leave the guild.

proven arrow
#

So choose your guild wisely

dark jungle
#

yes ^^

empty fjord
#

I see, will it be an active choice to hand over the tabards to the guild, or will they become the guild asset as soon as said person joins?

dark jungle
#

its an active choice to assign the items to a guild

empty fjord
#

cool

#

thanks for answers πŸ˜ƒ

dark jungle
#

best if you dont trust your guild leader 100%, either keep the items or start your own guild πŸ˜ƒ

snow yoke
#

But if they join back they regain access right?

dark jungle
#

yes they will regain access, but they will never regain ownership

snow yoke
#

Ownership as in they won't be able to have the unique items?

proven arrow
#

As in if you give a guild your cloaks leave and rejoin. You don't get to redistribute them to new people.

ruby swift
#

Only 275 people LoM KS, with upgrades and Summer, 500 is probably the max # of people they have to worry about having an issue and complaining "WHAAAT? I didn't know that."

azure vector
#

but are you also taking into account the earlybird specials. There might be more people that just got the early bird LoM

Do we know how much?

tawdry charm

no up front cost though

15 i believe

uneven loom

15/mo

#

180 for a full year

regal walrus
#

Like club penguin

tawdry charm
#

but that being said if you recruit friends with your referal code part of there sub pays for yours

crystal beacon
#

60 days Game cards?

glass swallow
#

the 15$ per month cost point is estimated. Just for clarity purposes. Intrepid has not to my knowledge stated definitivley that to be a confirmed price.

regal walrus
#

Thanks guys πŸ˜‰

tawdry charm
#

for some reason i thought they said early that it was going to be 15 but I could be wrong. Thought they said it in one of the KS streams

uneven loom
#

Yeah I calculated the 15 off of the preorder packs and how many months you got for free and what it said that would normally cost.

#

I think I may have read it somewhere else as well.

glass swallow
#

it has been an alluded to price point but never explicitly stated as a confirmed one

uneven loom
#

Unless they end up changing the pre-order packs I think it's safe to say 15/mo since they say 30 for 2 and 180 for a year

proven arrow
#

Since the game is crowd funded and no box cost I doubt there would be in store game time cards. There could be virtual ones bought directly from their store. Unconfirmed as of yet however.

wispy shoal

afaik the game is not fully crowed funded

copper coyote

private funded, the KS/summer campaigns were only to unlock extra content

Question: Will there be an option to use in-game currency to purchase sub time, or some other way to earn it in-game? Even a limited amount so as not to negate all of the sub income, but make it a little cheaper for people of lesser means?

stable plover
#

No in game currency for sub-time, the refferal program would let you take some off your subtime

How do i get to the beta?

I did bay it.

copper coyote

it's not playable yet

Alpha 1, the earliest buyable point isn't expected to start until after June (possibly significantly 'after')

maybe did they mean the 26 jan 2019?

copper coyote

maybe, considering Nodes 3 was supposed to release after Pax, but which Pax πŸ€”

umbral panther

so I will not come in to the beta

I didnt know about the nodes 3 thing

@umbral panther Beta1/2 test times have yet to be announced, but be sure to check again after the Alphas have passed for more info

fun, I was crazy to play it. but have to wait months. paid 75 $

can i add money so you can get into beta 1 on my 75$

you will be able to upgrade yes

#

but only when they update the store

dark jungle
umbral panther
#

if you buy there, it will be added to their account?

dark jungle

if you purchase an upgrade from the official Ashes store then it will be added to the account you logged in with

umbral panther

I guess I'll have to wait until it comes out of Alpha 0, and it just came out?

dark jungle

the game is still in alpha 0 at the moment

no date has been given yet for when alpha 1 will be out, but the estimate is late this year

soo when wil the game come out?

no official release date yet, what has been stated is that Ashes will be lauched "before 2020"

#

if everything goes as Steven wishes, we'll see Beta 1 at the end of this year, meaning Alpha 1 to be much sooner, maybe june. but it's all very much unknown at this point

#

think Beta would mean more or less feature complete

umbral panther
#

OMG 1 year to test it πŸ˜ƒ hmm

empty fjord
#

depends on how long each phase is. there's usually some time between each phase at least in other mmo's

I received an email from AOC yesterday with a receipt for the Bonestrider, the eye and the pet at no cost. What about the 6 mo gametime, $100 embers? The Pax I bought was $225, the Voyager was $250. Will we be able to pay the $25 difference and get those items?

dark jungle
#

Hi @waxen quartz do you see your order in your dashboard?

waxen quartz
#

I see the recent free items order in my dashboard, but when I click on details, it just goes back to the main dashboard

dark jungle
#

You should be able to upgrade or exchange the packs

#

basically what @simple ether said

waxen quartz
#

Yea, that's why I was curious, why they would add the three Voyager items now, which I am grateful for for sure, but I was wondering if this is the automatic echange just without the 6 mo gametime and 100 dolars ember?

dark jungle
#

@waxen quartz there may be some kind of automatic upgrade for existing package holders. I will confrim this with Intrepid !

waxen quartz
#

Ok thank you very much

dark jungle
#

yw! i'm keen to find out myself πŸ˜ƒ

cosmic lily
#

Apologies if these where already answered, if so, could someone send me in the direction of those answers? What steps are being taken to ensure viability of all classes? For example, wouldn't a Tank/Tank be the best PvE tank class? If there are being measures taken to ensure all primary tank classes are equal in ability, why would someone roll a tank/tank instead of say....a tank/ranger or a tank/mage? Which surely have more utility do they not?

#

headed there with a copy paste now!

empty fjord
#

Will skill points be hard bound to the character's adventuring level, or will it be more like BDO where you advance the skill point pool seperately?

dapper mango
#

are there any informaiton what gaming setup will be needed to run the game smoothly?

#

i know that performance optimization might come on a later point of developement, but there also will be more player

quaint badger
dapper mango
#

okay, thank you

quaint badger
#

Yep

echo oyster
#

That’s to develop the game. The actual game requirements will be different.

quaint badger
#

@echo oyster I'm aware, but it shouldn't be not to far off kinda just a base. Atleast I assume

Again nothing been said so I'm going off with that.

echo oyster
#

You are aware. He is not

dapper mango
#

i mean...there is always a difference with 100+ players or just a few
but if someone already played it...and it was working fine for him, maybe he can state his setup?

#

What's Intrepid's Point-of-view on " Talismans " and other variations of Mysticism ? In what way would these types of Mysteries be incorporated ?

(albeit i should probably ask this question on the next LiveStream Thread on their site tbh xD )

crystal beacon
#

if I am main class cleric and secondary class mage, am I still able to use mages ability to unlock barriers

azure vector
#

We don’t know @crystal beacon

ruby swift
#

@dapper mango Wait until the NDA is dropped probably next Alpha 0 test then ask again. But what they are seeing now and what will be required at later testing may be radically different as a good guideline.

echo oyster
#

@crystal beacon the main class will use augments from the subclass. So you won’t be able to use the class skill like cleric cleanse as a warrior

serene sparrow
#

Did I read that right? The IGN review says the game will be 30x what skyrim is.

fiery cobalt
#

"It’s huge already – about the size of Skyrim, Sharif says – and once completed, what I'm seeing will amount to only around 1/30 of the total land area"

#

It will be about the size of Skyrim.

empty fjord
#

Indeed, it is skyrim size now, and it will be 30x of what it is now

fiery cobalt
#

A0 is 1/30 the size

naive trail
#

That's 429 miles

#

If it's 30 skyrims in size

cinder ridge
#

that is smaler than NYC

#

However if players move at roguhly th same pace as a human in real life it could still take several hours to walk in a straight line from one end of Verra to the other.

naive trail
#

If we go 1 mile per 10 mins it's 71 hours

sour charm
#

So what would it be riding a horse then?

naive trail
#

About 53?

#

About 53 hours if horse averages 8mph at a natural gait

azure vector
#

1 mile per 10 minutes seems pretty slow

naive trail
#

Well that's the average speed walking a human does a mile I believe and it was quick math

#

10s r easy

azure vector
#

also dont forget that space also accounts for lakes, oceans and seas

#

not gonna be one huge square landmass

naive trail
#

Oh well yeah I was just calculating a straight line distance

#

Ofc there's going to be stuff like that

serene sparrow
#

Does that account for the ocean around the world.

#

Like the part you can swim in

that size is the map size

the ocean will be inside the map so yes

@idle siren There's concern floating around the population cap. If servers only have a 10k population cap, that cause a lot of issues. In the long-run about a year after launch it should be nowhere as big an issue (for all except guilds) if there are servers to not only fit in everyone, but also their multiple characters, which will limit player space. If servers are limited to 10k characters and not 10k acoounts this will be even worse.

How will guilds get everyone from their guilds into the same servers on time when those will be filling up crazy fast at launch? How will new members of the same guild join a server that's already full, not just at launch, but a while afterwards when the server already filled up? As for your friends that just started playing, how will they join the same server as you so you can play together? It's all things that would be impossible if the server in question is full, right? From my perspective, especially for guilds, larger-than-10k servers at launch are a must, and if it's possible, why not make every server that big? If there are too many servers and one dies along the line, potential server merges would ruin all progress made by the active albeit smaller population of the server getting dumped into another one.

#

Because if it's limited to 10k characters and not accounts, you'll have most likely 5k or less unique player accounts in a server at a time

dark jungle
#

The actual population would be several times this number

#

the solution is to have castle sieges fall on different nights/times

indigo cosmos
#

@dark jungle Good, it could be much worse, but the issue still remains...

#

How will people join full worlds down the line?

#

Especially if they're that small

dark jungle
#

10k concurrent users is not small... its very large for a MMO... wow's servers for example have total population set at around 5-8k. the servers crash when there are more than a couple of thousand concurrent users.

#

most asian MMOs have caps around 2-3k

#

i said most, not all

#

and some mmos like FFXIV use sharding to appear to have more capacity

indigo cosmos
#

With individual server progress though?

dark jungle
indigo cosmos
#

One of my guildmates posted this just recently and I'm not the only one sharing this concern

proven arrow
#

Population issues can be complicated in a game like this. The best solution imo would be the ability for a council of a node be allowed to throw in their nodes exp into a node on the other server.

#

When the merge occurs

#

And it's gonna be in your best interests to settle in the largest servers first.

#

They tell them to join that server. Even if a server is "full" most mmos don't prevent a character beine created just you'll have to wait in queue.

I'm thinking English isn't your first language. But compared to other mmos it's definitely on par or better than Asian mmos like Black desert or Bless online. Definitely far better than mobile games. Not sure what "community" would see the latest gameplay and think the graphics were less than mobile games. Also UE4 is the newest Unreal Engine you may be confused with UE3 which is what Tera was built on. UE4 is what Fortnite is made on along with many AAA upcoming titles.

If you're asking the likelyhood of them launching another crowdfund in hopes to get a lifetime sub?.. No I HIGHLY doubt they will ever release another lifetime sub after the summer crowdfunding drama.

@pallid flare the movement system will be a lot better once the game is released. Right now they are still in alpha, very early stages of development so it is bound to get better

maybe a dumb question: Will there be a module of EQdkp once the game releases?

I bought the settler early bird on kickstarter, my question may be a bit stupid but it is my question non the less, will I get the forum badge and the other stuff on a different email address then the one I had on kickstarter?

ruby swift
#

You will get the stuff on the email attached to your Ashes account. The one that shows your package on the dashboard.

#

Some people used different emails for KS and registration on the Ashes site. They had to be individually sorted out. Also, you won't "get the forum badge and the other stuff" via an email, it will be on the dashboard of your Ashes account once they implement those options.

quaint badger

@keen hound What @ruby swift Pretty much said whatever email you used for the kickstarter check that email you should have a code. Then go to ashesofcreation.com sign in the account you're going to use and redeem the code given from the email that "Account" you redeem the code on should get the tags once the game is official launch if I am not mistaken.

Found the code don't know how to redeem it or Lost the code or never got one check out this link below

Hi guy's. Question: if i buy the Wayfarer Pre-Order Pack. will i get acces right away so i can play the alpha version? It's all rly unclear for me. Can i play the game upon the official launch if i now pay €75? Please help me πŸ˜ƒ

verbal quiver
#

@proven dust Hi there, currently the game is in A0 (pre-alpha build basicly) Alpha 1 is said to be around Q3-Q4 later this year, and when the game launches it will be sub-based with no box price (meaning you won't need a pack to play only the $15 sub fee)

#

and the wayfarer pre order pack contains access to Beta 2 (don't have a date for that) so no you won't be able to play in the alpha's when released

as like you level your character from 1 to 50 or do you mean something else?

does anyone know if the enviorment is going to be full of monsters (it currently is, if Im not wrong) or will npc placement actually make sense?

That would probably depend how the node develops in certain zones

#

Discord related question ... would it be at all possible to clean up the #aoc-guild-recruitment channel? Possibly allow a guild to only post once, so there is simply a comprehensive list of guilds recruiting. Instead of the clutter that is, 'let's see which guild can maintain the most recent post?'

#

Would only need to allow the Guild Leader role to edit their post in the channel to make adjustments to their recruiting post as needed.

dark jungle
#

The one time ever rule however is not applied, as this would diadvantage more established guilds. Effectively the active guilds cycle once a week.

crystal beacon
#

Is there an ETA on monthly store being updated?

stable plover
#

Stream said it would be about 1-2 weeks after the addons appeared

bold vale
#

@copper coyote @dark jungle yes I meant if it was a 1-50 leveling, so it depends on the node ?? And there is not a leveling scale ??

dark jungle
#

There will be regular leveling from 1-50 (vertical progression) but there will also be horizontal progression where you build out your spec through augments from your secondary archetype

#

Monsters/mobs will scale with the node(s) they are adjacent to, but no word has been said about whether they will scale to player level

Can I gift all the cosmetics on my pre order pack? Will we be given codes to activate them or something?

Seeing as we can sell our accounts surely giving cosmetics is okay.

Not sure if there will be codes. This is probably a good question for the next livestream.

tawdry scaffold
#

I thought they were all tied to the account?

ruby swift
#

"Seeing as we can sell our accounts surely giving cosmetics is okay." What? Can someone please link this extremely generous policy that IS is ground-breaking in the industry on? They have stated the intention of not allowing cosmetics to be tradeable is to stop RMT and a good way to get your account locked and invalidated is to be caught advertising it for sale. Can you do it and get away with it? Most likely. But if IS can figure it out your buyer is going to be voiding that transaction when the account is useless. So get cash.

I was told a while back that they were gonna edit the store to have the current pre-order pack bonus content (excluding the betas) as separate sales by the end of the month. Is this still gonna happen but has just been delayed? Or was that information I was told false?

it's already happened

(it's only currently available to KS/SS/PAX backers, will be available to Shop pack holders once cosmetics roll over at their teir and below)

please dont be silly

stable plover
#

@azure vector A lot of people, including me, had incorectly assumed that it was going to continue working like it previously had where you could buy the stuff forward from your buy in point at any time, but now the buy it forward only applies during the particular time that the pledge package cosmetics are for sale

azure vector
#

@stable plover ohh ok I see what you are saying, that actually does make sense

dark jungle
#

I was also under that impression until recently, but @stable plover is correct πŸ™‚

little rover
#

So, the cosmetics are available now?

dark jungle
#

The pre-order cosmetics are available to purchase from the store, or KS backers can upgrade and buy addon cosmetics. But i may have misread your question lol

ruby swift
#

I read it like this. Say next month a KS backer wants to buy the Plague Lab. The cosmetics have moved on to whatever they are for next cycle in the pack. Will KS and people who bought the new packs now still be able to buy the Plague Lab as an addon up until game launch?

dark jungle
#

The answer to that is no @ruby swift. Hopefully @idle siren will release an official quote to help clarify πŸ™

So i can buy the demon boat

thats all i care about

I want the boats

Monthly cosmetics are confined within that month. KS and Summer backers will be able to buy these cosmetics each month without needing to own a package.

But once the month has passed those cosmetics will not be available.

@idle siren the last blog post said that as we march into 2018 there will be some brief run down on classes. I'm curious if there's even a lose plan (like a span of months) on when that might start up or if it's still kind of in the air?

#

I believe this was answered previously and the answer was no, that you'd need to back at a package tier. Let me do some research to confirm.

ruby swift
#

Actually you answered that before belle with that answer, $25 was the minimum to qualify for KS rewards, as that would be a code applied to your Ashes account.

stable plover
#

@stark bone It's only backers that backed enough to get a package teir

empty fjord
#

Alpha 1 would start sooner than Q4 if you interpret Stevens quote in the pax interview correctly. Beta 1 is planned to start at the end of this year or beginning of next

stable plover
#

here's a fun question I have though - could that 10$ donation be upgraded into a 25$ package?

empty fjord
#

they did say in a livestream that Alpha1 was on schedule as planned

ruby swift
#

No, because KS has actually nothing to do with it now. It is all on their internal system. But I guess they could go in and manually kick him up to a 25 dollar package if they wanted.

stark bone
#

LOOOL

#

Was this stated anywhere

#

im on about on Kickstarter itself

#

And during when it was live

#

cos if not i want my money back lmao

#

Yo @reef mulch & @idle siren this is legit a meh issue

#

Like if there is proof on KS during campaign and not after then fair game

copper coyote
#

what was the question again?

ruby swift
#

Hes angry because he donated 10 to ks, thinks he should get the backer rewards

empty fjord
#

These questions about the requirement to buy a tiered package to get stretch goals was asked and answered early on during the kickstarter livestreams, I suggest looking through those

ruby swift
#

Oh, they are looking for the quote now I'm sure, this was asked and answered here on Discord also months ago. They just have to search for it.

Not bad response time. Under an hour to find obscure reference from months back.

That's not to say @dark jungle didn't have it already handy and just finally noticed the question 5 minutes ago.

#

Lex confirmed lazy

stark bone
#

does not specify

little rover
#

it does though

stark bone
#

The kickstarter stretch goals do not specify you need to pledge a reward

little rover
#

but the thing you clicked when you checked out does.

stark bone
#

No it does not.

#

It does not specify stretch goals.

#

There is nothing saying that to claim stretch goals you must back a reward

little rover
#

Did you read what Lex posted?

stark bone
#

it states pledge

#

yes

#

i did

#

But the stretch goals

#

themselves do not specify you have to have a reward

#

it just says pledge

#

If you have an issue after this info provided, please place a support ticket

#

The CS team will further answer your questions

stark bone
#

Apreciate your time tho.

stark bone
#

After the kickstarter had been finished

#

Which means not stated before and during pledge perioud.

little rover
#

I think belle said it best. Send CS a support ticket requesting your 10 dollar refund. Have a good one!

stark bone
#

Of course, was just responding.

azure vector
#

Dont get me wrong, it just seems like you were all attacking this poor guy

proven arrow
#

I'm pretty sure the 10$ pledge literally didn't say you'd get anything.

azure vector
#

i was under the impression that you could back $1 and get the stretch goals

proven arrow
#

When I backed back when the KS started the 10# package didn't contain any rewards.

stark bone
#

Nah no one was attacking me.

#

Nothing wrong with speaking out your opinion.

#

@proven arrow Its more the stretch goals did not specify $25+ before or during, only after.

So does this mean that we will have new content to buy once a month? Or purely that these offers alone are monthly?

There will be new cosmetics each month that are only available for that month

What kind of in game storage are we getting for cosmetics? Let's just say hypothetically, I buy every monthly cosmetic item up until release. The item count will be WAY over 100! Will cosmetic storage be unlimited or limited? Will it be separate from our inventory? Because one could complicate things a lot more than the other...

I think as far as i can recall they havent sad anything about one time use.

They are not one time use, but they are one at a time on a character. If you have a mount skin, you may apply said skin to a single mount of that type on a single character. Tire of it, remove skin and put it back into your account for use on another character. Dyes however have not been confirmed as multiple use, though most likely will be.

covert plank
#

Ups sry i wasnt talking about dyes, i meant cosmetics like skins and so on

dark jungle
#

That will come down to the item in question. Cosmetic mount skins are reusable indefinitely but only on one character at a time per account. Other cosmetic items may have a set lifetime or number of uses, such as fireworks.

covert plank
#

@dark jungle Does that mean we can change the owner of the costumes ? let say i want the necro costum to go from my necro to my warlock?

I assume those skins will work like the mount skins, as in being account bound and able to be used by any character on that account but only active on one at a time, but this is just an assumption until Steven makes an official statement

Reguarding the preorder stuff, are these prices in USD only? Are you planning on adjusting the prices at some point so accommodate people who do not live in the states?

This was asked on the forums. I believe the answer was a firm no. How to "adjust" for each countries individual system? You are buying a virtual product from an American company.

And if you are a hunt and peck sort of person, a comfortable multi-button programable mouse really ups your game and response time, but you need to have one you feel comfortable with using. Just because it has the most buttons doesn't mean it will do the best job for you over hours of play.

My friend owns a lan center in Florida that i attend usually every night to help support him. I am super excited to start play Ashes of Creation and have purchased the $500 pack for myself.I would like to build a community here, so will you be offering any services for lan centers that want to have multiple accounts so guests can play on, trail accounts, or something as simple as promotional materials for them?

proven arrow
#

Best thing you could do is refer people there using your referral link.

zealous flint
#

Those are both true, but things like promotional materials will have people ask questions. While not having a box cost is great, trial accounts will also give access to people who want to test the game before paying for a subscription.

proven arrow
#

They said trial accounts are a big maybe since hackers and gold sellers tend to abuse them. It's a bit early to ask about stuff like that.

zealous flint
#

nah, i think its good to ask questions like this early. They may not have an answer, but getting voices heard is what is really important

wind sand
#

I don't know if this question already has been asked. But for me it's a little bit weird that a game with 15$ monthly costs will offer ingame skins for about 25$ additionally. Why can't this skin/armorset be achievable within the game? Sure GW2 and similar games also sell skins for real money, but these games are free to play. So what is the point in gabbing so much money from the players? 15$ is way more than most other mmos are getting from each player and they can finance themselfs pretty well.

crude kelp
#

QUESTION: With the Angelic/Demon skins, if you use another costume skin from the store, will it override the Angelic/Demon skins, or will it change its look to suit them?

proven arrow
#

There's no box cost so 15$ a month isn't that bad. Its the same as WoW or the premium subscriptions for other f2p mmos. Also all skins sold as addons will have variants achieveable in game supposedly.

#

and for the next question. It will be something equippable and unequippable. We also don't know whether the angel/demon/fire/frost skins will be affected by other appearances or if they will be racial replacements afaik.

echo oyster
#

@wind sand there will be lots of skins available in game. Just some are there to be paid for. It allows people who aren’t cheap to support the game more and ensure the game keeps making money

#

$15 a month is 50cents a day

#

If you play 5 hours a day you are paying 10cents an hour

#

It’s cheap.

wind sand
#

That's not the point. The point is, that I have to pay twice. Other games manage to finance themselves with just skins or just monthly abo costs. So why do I have to pay twice for one game?

echo oyster
#

You don’t have to pay twice

#

You have to pay once for the game and IF you want the skins and you have the money available you can buy skins

#

There will be skins ingame you can get without paying real money

wind sand
#

Yeah IF... but what IF I exactly want this particular skin/armorset? I think it's simply not fair to charge money for subscription AND for ingame items. And it's really not because I can't/don't want to spend the money. I'm just wondering if this is really the right thing to do for a company that insists on a non-pay-to-win (I'm not saying, that selling skins is pay to win). It just seems like double standards to me. On the one side they don't want to grab money for pay-to-win-items, but grabbing money for skins is ok.

echo oyster
#

Yes because they aren’t essential.

#

If you go out for food you can pay $15 for a meal

#

Just because you want more chips should you get them for free

#

Or should you pay extra?

#

They aren’t a nonprofit company.

hollow fiber
#

There will be cosmetics you can earn ingame, not just the cash shop.

#

but for years people have complained about P2W, and often said "id like my game just have cosmetic cash shops" and many games have shown cosmetic only cash shops usually aint enough to support a MMO's continued developement.

#

So we have a system that caters for both needs.

wind sand
#

Hmm yeah I get your point.

#

But just to exemplify:

I've played Guild Wars 2 for about 5 years now. I bought all add-ons and purchased many skins and cosmetics. I probably spend about 300€ (~367$) for all of it. Throughout this time in AoC, I would've payed 900$ just for the subscription. And additionally there would be the costs for the skins if I had purchased any.

But maybe I'm all wrong and 300€ in 5 years is just to little money for a company to run a game like AoC. In the end I'm no expert in those statistics.

echo oyster
#

Well it’s actually €730 euro

#

Because it’s €12.2 euro at exchange.

#

For 5 years of playing

#

But this isn’t a game for people who want to play free to play Asian mmorpgs

heavy steeple
#

Rather than $15 a month, I'm pretty sure there would be yearly deals as well, like instead of spending $180 per year, it could go down to $100 (which may/ may not be a bit too low...). Plus. I doubt you would need to spend $367 for cosmetics since most of the items in the cash shop in AoC would be recievable via raids, crafting, ect...

This might be an odd question, but will there be a "Friends list" and will I be able to whisper a friend even if they're across the world?

First off love you guys. Plain and simple
Question though concerning group content. I know Alpha is not the example to base off off, but open world dosen't seem suited for group content at all, or its easy for groups to rampage through them.

Will mobs or creatures scale up to your lvl? or will there be certain areas for certain lvls?

wind sand
#

Will there be dodging oder something like that to avoid taking damage?

quaint badger
#

@wind sand The game will have a mixture of Tab targeting / Free aim. Which means some spells you will be able to dodge, but if you are talking about dodging like in "Dark Souls" I don't think so

wind sand
#

Hmm ok... Yeah like Guild Wars 2, Blade 'N Soul, Black Desert and almost every other modern MMO. I think this is a very important mechanic to improve the action of combat. And with that you can develop dodging skills in combat that can keep you alive beside your armor.

echo oyster
#

@quaint badger zones scale to the node level.

quaint badger
#

@echo oyster that's a bit concerning. What if a brand new players joins ashes of creation and when he hits a node the mobs will be way overpowered

echo oyster

There will be lower zones around

#

We zone in there is starter areas

quaint badger

πŸ€”

echo oyster
#

You don’t need to worry about silly things like that

#

Of course there will be zones for all levels

#

It’s not even something to worry about.

quaint badger
#

Oh I'm not worried just curious I guess I'm pretty sure Steven will do us right πŸ˜ƒ

echo oyster
#

The game is being made by a group of mmorpg designers. They won’t miss out on basics.

midnight wolf
#

@quaint badger That question was actually already asked some time ago. It was said that there will be opportunities for new players to quest and explore in developed nodes.

wind sand
#

ohh ok I think this is great :)

ruby swift
#

Realize everything is subject to change. But the main stumbling block that newer people seem to be having is dropping pre-concieved notions about themepark mmos, and understanding what they are dubbing a themebox. Dead zones will not have to worry about population, by just being dead they will revert back to level 0 over time. There are no Stormwinds or Shattraths.

azure vector

The live stream looked awesome! I was just wondering with the nodes, what will be there before they develop? Will there be trees rocks and perhaps even wild onions or will it just be a flat open piece of land?

merry frigate

has there been a Pirate/Bandit/Faction Killing feature added into the game?

quaint badger

@merry frigate seperate factions? like AA's pirate faction? no it's a factionless game basicly, however there will be PK mechanics with the open world pvp system

ruby swift

There are social organizations planned. 3 from the KS are Thieves Guild, Scholars Academy, and Traders Company that we know of so far.

verbal quiver
#

Right, but they won't be different faction's like other game's, simply "guilds" sort of thing

ruby swift
#

Yep, but they could add a Pirates Guild down the line. Just won't be a faction based kill thing, more likely a quest/jobs based thing.

neat panther
#

@merry frigate Also the caravan system is looking to have potential bandits raiding them πŸ˜ƒ

merry frigate
#

Yea I was thinking if ppl might be making guilds with the specific goal of being bandits and stuff. This world seems it would support that kind of play

neat panther
#

I wouldn't be surprised if there were purely guilds for that. I mean question is would normal lawful guilds want their members to conduct piracy, probably not, right? Due to guild wars if they piss off the right person. So they would have to go elsewhere, and if there's enough of them, a guild will emerge for sure.

merry frigate
#

I hope so, it will bring more pvp to the game for sure

honest grail
#

I've actually thought about trying to put together a mercenary guild in the future. A guild you can pay to attack other guilds/nodes, constantly take out caravans, contribute to "node wars" for a specific side, etc. I like that AoC is trying to give players that level of customization in their in-game experience.

Roaming mobs, roaming world bosses like ArcheAge's Red Dragon. Right now enemy AI looks so uninvolved and unobtrusive. Like everyone is playing cards until you walk up into the middle of their card game.

#

Mob AI should look as good as GW2 in this game, enemies should call for help, there should be roaming bosses like ArcheAge's Red Dragon. If AA is supposed to have some influence lets some roaming world bosses. Will we see more than mobs that stand in one place, will we see mobs that call for reinforcements? Mobs that travel the map?

#

Lets see things like EQ1's Gryphons and Sand Giants!

#

Right now it seems like there isn't any surprise enemies in the overworld and for a world that is supposed to be alive that is dissappointing.

#

Lets see roving packs of dogs, brigands that travel the roads, vulture flocks (AA has flying enemies and some of us actually liked them)

#

Elite roaming enemies that wander around. Enemies that -hunt- you. Like the assassins from Skyrim

echo oyster

I can’t find what question you are asking

I think it's safe to say that Intrepid is shooting for a more "living" world, seeing as how a lot of the game's progression is centered around the nodes and how players choose to advance them.

Quick question, so I was looking at the "Pre-Order" packs on the shop on AoC website

#

And it mentions "If you have this level pack, you're able to get access to monthly - blah blah"

#

If you already have a Kickstarter backing, do youalso have access to that same thing?

dark jungle
#

yes, KS and summer backers can purchase pre-order cosmetics as addons in the month that those cosmetics are available

zealous ibex

So for the current month it's the Dracolich pet with the necromancer garb and the eyepatch?

WHEN IS THE ALPHA GOING TO BE . OR BETA OR WTV

light bear
#

Does the forum username correspond with our ingame name? Wondering if name reservation from a pack would be semi-useless now.

ruby swift
#

No, your reservation is not useless. It hasn't been implemented yet. The last information was that name reservation would be implemented closer to, but before the release of Alpha 1.

light bear
#

Ok so forum usernames don’t correspond to in game names then?

glass swallow
#

Nope

ruby swift
#

No, right now you can name your character anything for testing you want. It will not carry over from the technical testing that is happening during alpha 0 to alpha 1. If you choose NoobSmackerLeet1337 as your forum name, you can still call yourself Bob in game with no one the wiser.

light bear
#

Alright good. I’m probably gonna get a package that has a reservation so I can get alpha/beta and didn’t know if I was gonna get screwed over my name

ruby swift
#

You may still "get screwed" on your name. Reservation is not a guarantee, names are first come, first serve, and reservation will be going from highest packages to lowest in priority if they go with what they said months ago. So if a guy with a 5k KS package wants Drizzt before you do, depending on how they manage availability windows, you could still lose out.

light bear
#

Oh damn I totally forgot about the KS packages

#

That really sucks

#

For me at least

ruby swift
#

Your sample size is really small, unless you are planning on a common name, most likely wouldn't be an issue. If however, you are being unoriginal and going for something like Frodo or any other common fantasy trope name, you might be out of luck.

#

@glass swallow Was it ever answered about how name reservation will transistion from Testing phases to Live? Since servers are going to be individual based on region and have no connection, will names be Ashes account bound or server bound. Or will there be two name reservation periods, one for testing, and one before live?

#

Since people are spending money on packages for that feature, probably should be made clearer so we don't have people like the guy the other day who wanted to argue for an hour about how his $10 donation gets him all the KS stretch goals.

glass swallow
#

No sir not to my awarness

So, I'm watching the livestream of the gameplay that they did. Did Steven or Jeffrey never see the making of the dungeon or anything like that?

Just finished the Livestream, and it ooks amazing!
Though, how are Party's going to be motivated to work together? Will their be an Experience Boost for people who play in teams of 3 or more. Ex: Playing solo gives full xp, playing with a partner gives full xp, playing with a team of 3 gives Double. I think this would be a good way to motivate people to join teams.
How well is the character creation going to be? It seems that you start with a preset, chosen by Class, but will there be a Character Creator and if so how detailed will be? I understand that the world changing around you in reply to your actions is a BIG task and that each person's Character Progression defines them, but most people I know like creating their own personalized character.
Will their be any kind of Item Enchantment system? I'm pretty sure that is the main reason people are attracted to the Fantasy genera the most - I know I am!
Last thing. How are messages going to be incorporated? If someone is in another Node will you need to send a courier? Lol, just a thought I had been passing around.
Love you guys and the game, my family and I can't wait for Live!

dark jungle
#

The difficulty of the content acts as a motivator to group with people. Also the content will require a diverse range of roles to complete. Not sure if XP boost will be a thing for parties.
Character creation has been promised to be on the level of BDO, so in other words, very in-depth.
You do start with a primary archetype (Tank, Summoner, Mage, Cleric, Fighter, Ranger, Bard, Rogue). As your character progresses vertically you get to choose a secondary archetype and thus gain your class, which is a combination between the two. For each primary skill you will have many augment options to choose from the secondary tree. Your choice as to which skills and how many levels will create a build that is unique to your own preferences.
There will be an enchantment system. Not much is known at this stage, but we should gain more information as the pre-alpha stage progresses into the alpha stage later this year.
There will be a mail system. It may rely on the caravan system to carry messages between nodes or it may be something entirely different (maybe an owl network???)
Can't wait for live myself ❀

Hello Ashes friends!

I have a very specific question about targeting mechanics in game. In the recent livestream, it seemed the vast majority of abilities were tab target. I remember from a previous Q/A that Steven said there would be a mix of free aim and tab target. My question, is how much free-aiming will there be? Will there be a system in place to turn it off for some sort of benefit, such as in BDO and their auto aim mechanics?

echo oyster
#

We don’t know. Seeing as the haven’t been put into the game.

#

Hopefully the combat stays away from bdo as much as possible.

Will there be proper PvP? Not instanced battlegrounds or arenas that you queue up for? World PvP without care bear hand holding?

Will alpha/beta keys ever be sold outside of a pack?

#

Just by themselves

stable plover
#

probabbly not

#

although in the past they've been winable individually and might be again

ruby swift
#

For the Alpha 0 keys, yes that are winnable. But none of the pack keys have been given away through drawings and such ever. Anyone who has that availability has purchased it. As to your question, most likely not on the individual keys for purchase as it would cause outrage from those that bought their keys at either a lower or higher perceived price point and the screams of "Unfair! Unfair!" would begin.

#

Buy just the access level upgrade?

#

Or like upgrade the package

stable plover
dark jungle
#

Those are beta0 keys i believe

#

not the KS purchased keys

ruby swift
#

Which he still needs to clarify what that means. Since Alpha 2 has been quoted as "persistent", and that means different things to different people. If they shut down the testing between Alpha 2 and Beta 1 for some arbitrary length of time to have special session for the maybe 10 people that got those keys, going to be interesting around here.

#

No, I think they will have A2 servers up, and have additional servers for the Betas, and then treat them as the PTR

dark jungle
#

Alpha 2 servers will become the PTR yes. Beta servers will come and go as needed. Much like other games

neat panther
#

Makes more sense for the betas to be the PTR, since that's the newer versions, right?

ruby swift
#

All of them will be updated to newest versions of the client as it becomes available, of that you can be sure. What would be the point in having Alpha 2 static and never changing.

dark jungle
ruby swift
#

Yes, and will experience a wipe before Live.

dark jungle
#

Correct. All test servers will be wiped prior to launch.

stable plover
#

well they plan on running Alpha 2 and Beta at the same time so neither one is neccesarily always running a 'newer' version?

light bear
#

Wait they plan on doing it at the same time?

neat panther
#

I mean people started talking about betas having NDA again, so..

dark jungle
#

Yes, alpha 2/PTR servers will likely be up at the same time as Beta tests and the same time as retail servers.

stable plover
#

(alpha 2 will continue throughout beta, not beta will start at same time as A2)

ruby swift
#

None of the KS alpha/betas have NDA

dark jungle
#

There is no NDA on any of the KS alpha or betas, meaning Alpha 1&2 and Beta 1&2.

copper coyote
#

haven't heard about the NDA beta

neat panther
#

And Beta0?

#

Some said this awhile back, and that got me confused πŸ˜›

dark jungle
#

Yes there will be a beta 0 between the alpha phase and the beta phase. This is reserved for raffle winners of beta keys.

dark jungle
#

^ correct. And now alpha/beta 1&2 are also purchasable through the cash shop pre-order packages.

ruby swift
#

Nothing about Beta NDA

dark jungle
#

Beta 1&2 are not under NDA.

neat panther
#

But he also talked about dropping NDA for Alpha0 now, so that might have changed? I mean once an NDA is dropped, there's no need for a new NDA I think πŸ˜›

copper coyote
#

"very will likely to drop the NDA"

ruby swift
#

Was talking about Beta 0 Lex. There was a question about it being under NDA.

verbal quiver
#

at this time we know very little about beta 0, beta 1 and 2 will not be under any NDA, however we cannot say for sure that that will be applied to the beta 0, we will learn more as the alpha's etc progress

neat panther
#

That's why I thought they would have Alpha 2 running, and while it is running, do the Beta with a newer version of the game but under NDA.

#

But I guess not then.

ruby swift
#

Since they are billing themselves as the paragons of transparency, they just need to finally post a timeline/calendar that spells this all out from their viewpoint so that people truly understand what they are purchasing vs trying to win.

When does AOC fully release?

copper coyote
#

"before 2020" as best as it have been told

tame hill
#

So it might be 2020+?

#

damn

copper coyote
#

maybe or not

crystal beacon
#

@tame hill should be end of 2020 if not sooner but never know pending on future events and such

heavy steeple
#

Well, it should be at the end of 2019 (which is their expected release date btw... I mean, they didnt specifically say the end of 2019... I think... but going with what info we have rn, its most likely their release date), but if any specific events that could disrupt the creation of the game, then at the end of 2020 is what we should expect. But we may be lucky and get it earlier than 2020, which is unlikely... but possible πŸ˜‰

empty fjord
#

if everything goes exceptionally well they might release mid 2019, but before 2020 (end of 2019) has been stated since the dawn of time

#

okay, so I have a game related question. I saw in the latest A0 video, beautiful grass. love the movement in the wind etc. will player movement affect the grass/bushes etc at some point?

<@&257269635559194625>
My Question: -->
Can the "core identities" be explained in how they affect the themes & interactions of the prime and augment class (listing them all would be nice) as an example - prime class of Tank with the core identity of survival & control with the theme of class that both can change or "control" the flow of battle and tough having great survivability how much will adding a Mage, Ranger or Fighter as an augment affect the prime class and what does each bring?

proven arrow
#

The abilities will mostly be the same with their effects and animations changed to match their secondary augment. So Tank's defensive bubble goes from being a general damage mitigation ability to a Tank/Mage would maybe get specialized into having that ability give magic mitigation or maybe instead if the bubble pops it stuns everything around the Tank. Just an example. They aren't ready to release new info on class info.

<@&257269635559194625> You've mentioned in streams about dungeons, can we be expecting on launch some raidable content?

stable plover
#

@wraith dove There will probabbly be some raidable open world bosses on launch, but my assumption is that for the actual raids you'll need to level up a metropolis which has been stated to take about 3 months from lvl 1 nodes

wraith dove
#

sounds like a good experience @stable plover cant wait

proven arrow
#

Also "dungeons" will be vast in comparison to dungeons we are familiar with in WoW or other mmos.

#

They may as well be mini raids.

wraith dove
#

yeah i saw some of the stream looks immense
