I think that includes all Alpha 0 key winners going forward as well
but its just betas
there is no beta 0
or pre beta testing
i think at least i never heard of such a thing o.O maybe its something special intrepid is planning
empty fjord
early on in the weekly key drawings there was 1 beta key among the Alpha 0 keys. I'm guessing that is for the "B0" they have planned
covert plank
well first time today that i heard something like B0, will have to go and check if that is a real thing.
ruby swift
It is, and it does NOT include alpha 0 people.
analog bay
This is just one of the posts I was looking for and referring to about it @covert plank took me a bit to find it.
ruby swift
It will be a separate giveaway that will take the place of the current random key drawing. If you go waaaaaay back you can find where they used to give 4 alpha 0 keys and one beta with mount every time.
One more thing for people to stress over. "OMG alpha 2 is coming to a close and I didnt win a beta 0 key!!! Rabble Rabble Rabble!!"
empty fjord
but Alpha 2 is persistent, or will it pause during B0?
ruby swift
No one knows... but everyone likes to add their personal view on persistent that gives them what they want, not what reality may be. Steven has said that "persistent" means the server will attempt to be up 27/4, there has never been any mention of Alpha 2 sticking around till launch. They could change it all, but why would they cause extra headaches for themselves?
Just realized I am in Questions and not Discussion.
covert plank
So 5 upcoming testing phases with 4 being open for buy in and 1 which is Beto 0 which you only get in if you win a key after a certain point which lies in the future?
ruby swift
Roger
Expect an announcement on the next round of keys once A1 gets started. No point in giving away A0 keys when its over. Got to have something to fuel the hype train.
covert plank
in that case we should get announcements soon.
ruby swift
*cough PAX *cough
covert plank
hope hope
ruby swift
Just have to remember it is all speculation besides the order in which they will go. But any other way they start to run up into time windows that won't do them any favors.
Last PAX they announced alpha 0 and gave themselves a 2.5 month window to deliver, and they hit it.
crystal beacon
@empty fjord Alpha 2 is persistent after beta, everything will be rolled over to PTR servers when it's all done.
empty fjord
can you give a source on this? it's the first I've heard of that
crystal beacon
Was during the first Alpha 0 stream I believe
echo oyster
@covert plank beta 0 is a thing. It’s gonna be a separate server I believe.
crystal beacon
But for drawings Alpha/Beta 0 will only be drawings. If you won a ticket and haven't bought Alpha 1-2 you will only be able to play during Beta 0 likewise for Beta 1-2.
empty fjord
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mD1q3aTRcPY&feature=youtu.be&t=25m22s there is no mention of A2 becoming persistent after the betas. @crystal beacon please point me to the video where you heard the contrary
I mean becoming persistent only after the betas. as far as I know it is persistent from the moment it starts
ashen orchid
Timestamp 26:20, Alpha 2 becomes public test server
Technically starts talking about it around 26:10
reef prawn
That we don't know unfortunately
It's all speculation as to what they'll do before launch
edgy condor
@covert plank yes B0 is a thing, as mentioned by several above...
We need some use for the key giveaways in the pre order packs after A0 is over.
covert plank
mhh ok guess i missed that, never heard of a pre beta thats it will be interesting to see
edgy condor
Yeah for sure. Even better if we get it before the year is over :)
copper coyote
should've linked the source instead of the quote
echo oyster
On my phone.
empty fjord
so, the big question is, will A2 run in parallel with B0, B1 and B2?
echo oyster
ruby swift
If it doesn't come from a gold name it means squat. Everyone once again is deciding to make "persistent" fit what they want it to be. Steven said that he means that the servers will attempt to be up 24/7 and people decide to run with it and say they will be around after launch. Excellent timing on the quote.
echo oyster
All these people who are trying to argue a fact that many of us have been quoting for months is so a 30second search
ruby swift
Never let facts get in the way of a good wishlist.
barren compass
Is there a master list of people who got Alpha 0 keys, I was out of the loop for like 8+ months.
echo oyster
No master list. There is the forum posts but no complete list.

@idle siren any update when Summerbackers will be able to upgrade their packs. I got a couple hundred bucks that have Intrepids name on it xD
azure vector
it may be the same for SS bakers. when you go onto your account on the website next to your profile picture it should say Summer backer, as mine says Kickstarter backer. next to that will be a link saying upgrade package
that might work, i know it works for KS backers

How many sub-classes can you have?
vernal island
So you have your main class and your subclass lets you enhance your main class.

The enhancement will be something along the lines of a root instead of a stun, or something liek that

One thing WoW had that admittedly was underutilized was the ability to create custom chat channels, complete with moderation and such. For example, you could do /create MyChannel /cinvite MyChannel MyFriend
It was an effective way to put a group together across guilds, clans or other systems, such as a PvP group.
What chat functionality is planned for AoC?

I seriously hope they don't draw inspiration from BDO when it comes to the chat at least

The game is currently in development, the only way to actually play the game at the moment is to win an alpha 0 key during one of the weekly key giveaways or be given one by the developers for contributing to the community:
https://forums.ashesofcreation.com/discussion/6085/information-regarding-weekly-key-drawings
When the game is released you're going to need a subscription for the game, currently Intrepid offers various game packages on their store, each package comes with a different amount of game time and access to different waves of alpha/beta testing and can be found on the store:
warm grail
Do we know if it will be one server for everyone like eve or multiple servers like wow
And what will be instanced? Dungeons/PvP/Sieges? Assume world bosses won’t.
dark jungle
@warm grail there will be multiple servers. Only a small number of dungeons will be instanced, most will be open-world. Arenas are instanced. All other PvP is open world. World bosses will not be instanced.

Is the PAX Exclusive Tea Transport Ship, a skin for a transport ship or the actual transport ship itself, and if it is the actual transport ship itself, does every player get one for free or is it something we will have to craft?

@pseudo kraken its a skin. You have to craft or otherwise obtain a transport ship in-game first before you can apply it. If you are not a crafter then you'd need to purchase one.

<@&257269635559194625> Is there a way to buy skins and gift them to other users in any way?
ruby swift
They have said no. It is to stop RMT that comes with that practice.
You want to give Aunt Jane that Christmas hat. Mail her the $5 in a card and she can buy it on her own account.
covert plank
@ruby swift thats inside the game, i am more talking about the Cosmetic Key, like for a giveaway.
ruby swift
If you have duplicate keys I would say customer service. Rumor has it that they take care of stuff like that on a case by case basis. The 5 beta keys that came with the KS will have to have a system for them to be gifted. Belle is in charge of the content creators as you know, so any giveaways from your podcast or such she can give you the skinny on those. But basically anyone being able to gift cosmetics to anyone at any time is going to be a no-no to stop the rampant abuse that has been prevalent in other titles.
covert plank
how is gifting a cosmetic outside the game rampant abuse? inside the game yeah it would be p2w. but outside the game?
ruby swift
"Hey BCG, buy me that pirate hat and gift it to me. I will give you 10,000 gold for it once it hits my account!
You can now sell pirate hats all day. Become a millionaire, buy the mayorship of an economic node. P2W
You can sell pirate hats for 10k gold for $5. Turn around and sell that gold to someone for $10. Profit
I could keep listing examples, but no need, as they have ruled it out.
echo oyster
@covert plank just do a paypal transaction
covert plank
@ruby swift This is part of the email, i got for joining the partner program.
so where is the difference between me paying with my own money for cosmetic giveaways or IS giving them to me ?
ruby swift
Yep, and that applies to those in the partner program, like I said. Not everyone will have that capability, and if they find you abusing it......Well, it won't be pretty.
covert plank
i know that.
all i am trying to find out if i can do giveaways by myself or only through IS.
ruby swift
Sorry, if I read your question wrong. Since there is a current forum topic on it live atm that has been running all day, maybe I read into it wrong. Hope it works out for you and you get to give oodles of stuff away. Once they wake up, someone will probably tell you. My info for regular plebs is good though.

rocky heart
when the game releases into alpha 1 and you guys have even more people playing AoC/ for launch itself, will there be a death penalty? ex. if you die you lose exp or your stats go down a lil or does nothing negative happen when you die?
covert plank
@rocky heart If you die while activily taking part in pvp you will lose resources, if your corrupted for pking the higher you are corrupted the higher the chance you will lose gear
there was a statement regarding exp. but i cant recall it atm
vernal island
Death Penalty
PVP death will result in negative experience
Character Penalties:
- Stat degradation
- Lowered health and mana
- Lowered gear proficiency
Combantants receive less penalty than non-combantants
Corrupted receive 3x or 4x that of Combantants
Corrupted can drop gear
rocky heart
@covert plank @vernal island thank you for the info
covert plank
@vernal island - Stat degradation
- Lowered health and mana
- Lowered gear proficiency
thats only for corrupted
need to read up on it , its been a while since i looked into the subject. But from what i remember the stat degradation only applies to corrupted players upon death and so on
so if you die from regular pvp, i think you only loose resources.
He sad some stuff on the stream with aggelos but i think he did say something not to long ago will look for it later.
vernal island
Pretty sure that's for all.
Corrupted players have the biggest penalties, then non-combatants, then combatants:

@solid silo 5g is a wireless system. It doesn't apply to servers as they are wired directly to the Internet, usually via high capacity fiber connections

I know that there is 1 guild per character limit. Will guilds be subservient to node membership in a hierarchy (which would then be subordinate to an alliance) or is guilds simply an alternative type of alliance making alliances redundant as a hierarchical system ? The concept of a Guild seems redundant or conflicting in ashes node citizen and node alliance systems unless they are subordinate to a node like a group. In which case, should 'a guild' not be limited to 'a node' ?
dark jungle
Guilds and Nodes are largely separate. Guilds can take up residence in a node via a Guild Hall (or Guild Fortress in the ZOI), in which case their "housing" is dependent on the node, but the guild itself is not dependent on the node. The same goes for player characters, who can take player housing within a node or node ZOI, but do not need to be citizens of any particular node (or members of a guild).
mild bear
I thought you had to be a citizen of a node to be entitled to housing within the node ?
dark jungle
@mild bear your citizenship requires you to have player housing in the node you seek to be a citizen of, as @simple ether said, you choose which node you become a citizen of. You could have housing in 3 different nodes, and may choose to be citizen of any one of those nodes.
mild bear
Got it thanks @dark jungle @simple ether
candid lava
How many nodes will be there per server?
digital yacht
i dont think that number has been announced yet
candid lava
Oh, but there will be only 4 nodes that can reach the Highest rank right?
digital yacht
i believe that is correct 4 metropolis nodes on any 1 server if i recall
The Metropolis is effectively the culmination of the Node system – it’s the biggest thing that players can bring into being, and the final level of civilization’s development on this forgotten world. The Metropolis requires a large amount of resources to develop and maintain, and because of how Nodes relate to one another, there can be no more than five in existence at any time.[1]
no more then 5 at any time

aye thanks

No number is likely to be confirmed until it is tested during alpha and beta
For now it's safe to go by the 8-10k estimates given by Steven

I was reading on the forums the other day regarding to large guilds controlling everything and stamping out others. While I myself only intend on existing peacefully with others, was there any insight on the devs thoughts brought to light? Thanks.
stable plover
not recently, but the devs have commented in the past they don't want large guilds to literally control everything
reef prawn
They said that as a guild levels, it will get a choice of upgrades which include either increase in guild size or other buffs, so small guilds can be compared to like spartans. Small in numbers but very efficient
That's pretty much all we know so far for that

Steven; do you think you guys will implement a mercenary system? what i thought of was a system where guilds and pay for other players to join their guild temporarily to do stuff like guild v guild, and being able to participate as if they were in the guild while being in their own guild. would mean someone could make a mercenary guild XD

thanks 😃
proven arrow
They have super expensive developer computers. Most of them are the highest end. To play the game on best graphics at great performance you're probably looking at i7+ 1080 and 8gb+ ram. Ideally dual 1080s but bitcoin mining is cancer for us gamers who want to upgrade.

@proven arrow we will not need near dual 1080s.

To run at 60+ fps in heavy player areas? Even WoW needs something near that to not drop frames in Org.

1 1080 would probably be fine. I just prefer overkill
digital yacht
1070/ti 1080/ti even a 980ti would be enough but by the time aoc comes out 10series cards will be cheap and maybe even the 20xx series will be affordable cuz mining will die eventually

Mining won't die anytime soon but the graphics card companies are releasing bitcoin mining cards to free up some stock on the high end cards so we won't be in dire straits for much longer.

as far as i heard, this game will have sort of "living world" means, what you change it's changed forever, however this game is already running in alpha, which means changes are already happening, cities already grows etc, this means, when the game goes live we will have the current world, or the game will start from total 0?

Is there any info on the Confetioner's Delight add-on? Can we make and sell candy with it? Or is it just a for looks? Is there seating inside the shop for RP?
ruby swift
All things sold in the shop are cosmetic skins that when applied to the relevant structure, item, character, or mount will change their appearance. They do not give stats or function. So, on your freehold there will be a bakers shop or a mill or something like that as an option to build. Once you build it on your freehold, then you can apply the Confectioners Delight skin.
stable plover
It replaces the normal Cooking artisan profession building, so if that building has customer seating / a place to sell food I would expect the presence or lack thereof to carry over to the Confectioner's Delight
ruby swift
Though we don't have confirmation yet that exterior skins will change interiors. Going to be interesting if you can apply say an Orc racial appearance to the freehold, but the interior of the buildings is Elvish or some such.
digital yacht
^that would be something I’ve never seen in a game before would be cool
ruby swift
This was brought up in an earlier discussion about in city housing appearance. We know that the architecture at each node level is influenced by the dominant race that levelling phase. So at level 3 you get orc buildings, but at level 4 you get elvish buildings. Do the orc buildings become elvish houses when they level up. And if Dwarves are level 5 for that node. Does everything become dwarven? Or is there a mix. Should be interesting if it does.
digital yacht
U have the wrong idea @ruby swift when a node levels up the architecture stays with the dominate race that contributes to it
So if ur majority of players contributing is elvish all buildings will be elvish style unless another race adds more contribution
ruby swift
lets go down to discussion for this
digital yacht
And they can change from elvish to orcish even at the same level it all depends on contributions

@dark jungle is correct. We do know that certain things cannot be looted. Furnishings and currency have been confirmed as not lootable. Whether gear, manufactured goods, recipes, unprocessed resources, and any other miscellaneous I have forgotten have not been confirmed as safe during a freehold pillaging.
gritty quarry
whats furnishings and currency?
ruby swift
Furniture. You will craft decor like beds. You will have collectibles you can display. The layout of that stuff is saved once placed. That cannot be looted. Currency is gold or whatever they decide to call their version of gold.
gritty quarry
really we cannot loot currency? it must be reall vaulble loot
ruby swift
Yep, was confirmed ages ago. The question was asked if currency stored in your freehold would be lootable during a livestream. Jeffrey answered that there is no reason to store currency at your freehold because it is not lootable. That means feel free to carry everything on you, unlike other gankbox titles that take what you are carrying or have stored.
Gathered resources are lootable during regular pvp in varying percentages depending on "flagging". Those percentages have not been released. Caravan loot is said to come as redeemable certificates for a percentage value of the caravans goods. Once again, no firm numbers have been released.
gritty quarry
so it loot from raiding houses villages castles are not worth ?
ruby swift
No one knows yet.
But one of their goals is risk vs reward.
Ganking noobs is low risk, so low reward. Taking a metropolis is epic, so epic reward.
stable plover
castles have slightly different reasons to want to attack them
gritty quarry
i know its full loot pvp but what about raiding storage like houses villages?

@gritty quarry gatherables, aka what you might think of as profession goods, are the only thing that are inherently open loot - Gear/equipment has a chance of being looted only from corrupt players (aka gankers) - "gold" isn't ever lootable

siege happens only once every month?
dark jungle
Castle sieges are monthly yes, node sieges are based on the size of the node and whether people are wanting to attack
ruby swift
Nope, there are rules, can occur more frequently in the case of nodes...Castles yes are monthly
dark jungle
reef prawn
And if they want to attack, they have to wait period of preparations and have to complete tasks to get ready for the siege. Once it happens, they have to complete other tasks to successfully lay siege
For nodes
ruby swift
If you are looking for your next target to be something along the lines of Conan Exiles, Life is Feudal, or any of the other full loot gankboxes out there where you get to destroy peoples effort once they go to bed and take their stuff, probably not going to be the title you're looking for.

gritty quarry
but why does there win condtion for siege? its instanced siege then? because normal siege dont have win condition it just we are winner if we completely destory them or partially take down some buildings and get few loots
like in games like wurm online there is no win condition and life is feudal is nothing like raiding when people are offline it full carebear game
dark jungle
@gritty quarry for node sieges, attackers will need to remove the defender's flag and raise their own to win
gritty quarry
what about other sieges?
dark jungle
we don't have many details on castle sieges or guild fortress sieges yet
I assume the victory mechanic is similar, but for castle sieges there are more steps toward victory
for example, castles have 3 defensive military nodes surrounding them and these have to be attacked in each of the 3 weeks leading up to the main siege
gritty quarry
so it instanced siege then i guess
dark jungle
no
all sieges are open world
almost everything in ashes is open world, except for a few dungeons and PvP arenas
digital yacht
Nothing is going to be instanced in this game is what Steven is trying to accomplish everything will be open world except for maybe a few dungeons but even on that note he still wants those to be open world

is this game going to be friendly for those who dislike pvp and want to avoid it as much as its possible?

Yes
Kind of
Just don’t fight back when ppl try to pvp u cuz it’s open world and they will get penalized
proven arrow
You get less penalized for fighting back actually
The attacker just gets more penalized for killing someone who doesn't fight back
stable plover
@warm glen Depends a bit on what you mean by 'friendly' and 'avoid' - TL:DR probably not - You'd probably die less to random people attacking you than on say a WoW PvP server, but it'd be more annoying when you did die because than can loot profession supplies off of you - they get punished for doing so to disincentivize it - on 'avoiding' pvp you'd also be avoiding a lot of PvE systems in the game, like you probably wouldn't be doing much towards actively building / destroying nodes, or things like deciding which raids/dungeons are open - but you could casually play the game for it's PvE and let other people sort that stuff out

quartz coral
can intrepid post what the costumes in the cash shop will look like for the different racial skins [I might not like it and therefore would be wasting my money buying it]
plz
?
dark jungle
The racial skins (that came with KS and Summer crowdfunding) already have concept art. What skins do you mean ?
quartz coral
for example will Harmony Attire (Costume) look the same on the angle racial skin as it would on the orc?
dark jungle
Costumes are different to racial skins. The racial skins change your character's racial appearance to the skin model. Costumes, armor and cosmetics are able to be worn alongside your racial skin
The Harmony Attire is just a costume so yes you may be able to wear that along with your racial skin
quartz coral
understood but will it look different because of my racial skin?
dark jungle
Nothing has been said so far about racial skins affecting costume appearances to my knowledge
barren stag
@dark jungle wasn't that spoken about in the character creation video?
@quartz coral if you are familiar with teso I think its going to be like that

@quartz coral
Same type, racial look

something just tilted my brain, when they say game will be only english, it's about voices right ? not texts? cause if they dont tranlate texts, they can say bye bye to 75+ % of french community ^^
btw i would be glad to help translate if needed, my english is not perfect by my french is 😃
stable plover
They do have a goal of translating the game into other languages, based on demand - They don't plan on voicing the game - It's language based servers that they don't plan on having --- Ils ont l'objectif de traduire le jeu dans d'autres langues, en fonction de la demande-ils ne prévoient pas de faire le jeu-c'est la langue des serveurs basés qu'ils ne prévoient pas d'avoir

language based server ?
because tbh i dont care about both texts and voice translations but thoses days it's very important for lot of people, not a must have, especially for lazy french kidos 😉
at least texts

have they given any detail on how their auction house system will function? I believe they mentioned that there will be no world AH, but will they have guild trading posts like ESO, or regional AHs?
stable plover
Economic Metropolises will have regional AH's -- Most trading will probably go through player stalls - nodes have a set, upgradeable amount of these that people seem to bid over for an amount of time, people seem to also be able to sell things out of their player housing depending on how it's built out. For instance, if you built a tavern on your freehold you can sell food and drinks, while if you have a Smithy you can sell armor repairs. Nodes are supposed to have a board listing of which stalls have which things for sale, but you still have to go to the individual stall to make a purchase.

Maybe add ones like in eso where u could find the sky shards and lore books kinda add ons
sharp garnet
but even ESO has add-ons that shouldn't work the way they do, like the harvest map making detection skills useless.
should make sure they only allow add ons that don't detract anything from the game

The quote is basically they are going to keep as much of the API and stuff restricted to keep people from being able to get "unintended consequences"

I think I've been told something false. Did the devs say whether A2 was persistent all the way to launch or just the typical month or two and then off until launch, while the betas start at later times?
dark jungle
Alpha 2 is persistent all the way to launch. This doesn't mean it won't be wiped from time to time, but the Alpha 2 servers will be up 24/7. Then after launch it will become the public testing server.
The betas will begin after the alphas, but they will not be persistent. Meaning they will not always be online 24/7.
stable plover
"So persistent for us means that we're going to keep those servers up all day and night until launch. A2 persistence doesn't mean that there will not be character wipes, that there will not be testing wipes that are done. Will betas have persistence? I don't know yet. Probably not, I would say that they will have periods of access points and then that period will close. Another aspect to A2 was our promise that past launch the A2 servers will be the public test servers. Those are what we will spool up again when we want to implement patches, updates, and we will allow people to go there for testing and stuff like that."
stable plover
There will be maintenance downtime
dark jungle
^ This is probably correct, unless they go for a high availability server architecture

I know Ashes have Naval Warfare but do they have under water combat too like Guild War 2? That's your character can go under water and fight your enemy and other.

Thanks, I have one more question: In the live stream they said you can adjust your Armor and weapons to whatever you like to fit your style , but can you make your physical weapons into magical damage weapons? For example, if I play a mage that wanted to use sword and bow can I make them that deal magical damage instead of physical damage like turn it into magical sword or something?

molten nymph
Will armour be identical for both genders? Or will it suffer from scarcely clad armour that plagues most fantasy games?
dry flower
molten nymph
Now that doesn't really answer my entire question of identical armours. Somewhat satisfied, but under the news tab with the excusive cosmetics there is a settler themed outfit, standard coat, cravat, tricorne hat etc and then a dress with a bonnet. Will a male be able to wear the dress and the female the coat garb?
dark jungle
@molten nymph there is a gender agnostic theme in Ashes so I assume so yes
molten nymph
I only ask that because Cosmetic shop outfits usually dominate game's future in terms of released armours like in previous games. I certainly you're right, that's why I quit Guild Wars 2 outside of the lore.
dark jungle
Ashes is very gender fluid friendly from all I have seen.
molten nymph
I'm not trying to be toxic or anything, thanks for answering! I just want to look badass
dark jungle
I didnt assume you were 😃
But consider asking for clarification at the next livestream
abstract swift
@dark jungle so are you saying that if my character is a "male", i would be able to wear "female" clothing?
dark jungle
That hasn't been explicitly stated yet, but they have said no gender locking, which is sort of the same thing. So that's why I suggested a livestream clarification
stable plover
s'what I expect at least
abstract swift
I thought they meant no gender lock in terms of races/classes like tera
dark jungle
^ The character creator screen will be flexible enough to make feminine features on male characters, which has been confirmed, so there is a sort of answer to your question 🙂
but yeah, a livestream question of that sort will be great
abstract swift
true...
molten nymph

Hi guys, I’m sure this question has been answered elsewhere, but I wasn’t able to find it: Is the date (or time range) of beta testing a known thing?
dry flower
All we know is they hope to be able to start the betas at the very end of 2018, or early 2019. As for how long they are going to last, well normally betas last until very close to release which is "before 2020" so I would venture to say all through 2019. Though not explicitly said by the devs
floral spear
I have a question: I arrived late and did not quite understand the gender issue of the characters, are they thinking of putting something that goes beyond just male and female?
ruby swift
No, they just plan on no gender locking of classes. Some games, mainly asian market lock certain classes to certain genders. For example, only men can be tanks. That is not happening here. What the community is asking about is since we will have same sex marriage and they are selling what is considered gender specific clothing (wedding dresses) will my male orc be able to wear the princess dress and a tiara is the other concern.
sand lotus
So if this was asked already im sorry, but i couldnt find any info on this....So if you get into the Alpha via the KS bundles will you also be in the beta 0? I assume you would but i wanted to make sure.
ruby swift
No. they are separate
Most likely the A0 key drawings will become B0 key drawings after the conclusion of A0 and the time period that A1 and A2 are running.
sand lotus
so that when the alpha ends we would need to get another key for beta most likely?
ruby swift
If you were around in the very beginning of the drawings they used to give away 4 alpha keys and a single beta key with mount skin each time. That became just A0 keys after maybe 8 drawings.
There are sure to be chances to win B0 keys. The stress for those with alpha packages is not there. But realize that unless it is a promotion where they just throw away keys your chances around 1/500000 at this point.
sand lotus
ahhh i see thanks for the info
ruby swift
A2 is meant to be persistent, so if you are in Alpha already, you will still be testing during B0, you just may not have access to that particular server.
sand lotus
ah i see that answered my question( i have braver KS)
spice ember
@sand lotus as BoW you get all previous Alpha/Beta offered accesses at lower tiers https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1791529601/ashes-of-creation-new-mmorpg-by-intrepid-studios
ruby swift
Then dont worry about the B0, it is more to let the people who won't buy a package have a limited time experience. With BoW youre golden.
sand lotus
ok cool thanks for the help guys 😃
ruby swift
Yes @spice ember but not B0, which was his concern.
spice ember
Ok, so B0 is the raffle beta then? http://www.aocwiki.net/Release_Phases
ruby swift
Yes, it will replace A0 once that is concluded.
spice ember
you would think A0 or A1/A2 would get you into the B0, but I guess they are keeping it separate to get more peeps in
ruby swift
Actually you will still have access as an A1/A2 participant during that time, just not the B0 server most likely. With their current # of packages sold there will be several testing servers. A2 is meant to stay up 24/7 (besides patches and maintenance) till just before launch. Will experience wipes and will get a final wipe just before live launch. Will then become the single PTS after.
proven arrow
They will want to test multiple servers being up at a time anyway to make sure things work how they want them to.
spice ember
Yes I get that, I'm just saying you would think you could also get into the B0 if you have any of the As already.
ruby swift
Unknown at this time. They haven't said either way

B0 would be more of a scheduled playtest rather than a persistent 24/7 uptime sort of thing

ruby swift
No other events have been announced so far, but there are sure to be appearances at what they have time for and deem important towards the marketing of the game.
Most of the larger shows like E3 and Gamescom charge a premium for event space, so the balance needs to be having something that will put punters in the seats at release vs cost and disruption of putting on a dog and pony show.
strong fjord
Due to the wide variety of ways that the servers can develop is there a way to switch characters from one server to another server?
ruby swift
They said it will be the exception rather than the rule. They don't want to create an environment where people are swapping servers on a regular basis to take advantage of possible node mechanics. Changing server will be a long, painful process that should only be undertaken for extreme reasons. Most likely easier to reroll on a new server. Also, remember, freeholds and cosmetics are account locked, not server locked. So while you may have your freehold on server A, it will not be available on server B. It would need to be completely packed up and placed once again in the new server, and no guarantee that your settings would transfer.
TL:DR Yes, but prohibitively expensive.

1 Can an alchemist make poison? 2 Can a player have 2 artisan professions ?
dry flower
the artisan skill tree, will allow you to allocate your points however you want, so you can have points spread across many professions. But that means you won't have enough points to specialize in anything. Basically what this means you can be average at a bunch of professions or choose one and become a master of that one profession
crystal beacon
hmm thx 😃

are they getting lazy on streams? wasn't it like 2 / month?

With PAX so close, they're probably saving up for a bunch of info releases.

barren stag
This is specifically about cooking. Will cooking specifically require gatherers, processors and cooks?
empty fjord
Most likely farmers/butchers, crops and meat, each needs processing. like making flour etc.
strong fjord
In AoC what type of crafting is classified as what?
crystal beacon
dunno but i will just breed horses ^^
ruby swift
@strong fjord We know that crafting professions will fall into 3 "trees", gathering, processing , and crafting. You will have a set amount of crafting "points" that can be used to go up those trees. You will not have enough points to go up all 3 trees in a crafting profession to master them all. So to gather the highest tier materials, you will need to specialize in that. Which means you may have a stack of unicorn meat to make the best buffsteak, but that character will have no way to turn it into filets. Or the processor who turns it into filets, will not have the required skill to turn it into the final cooked product. Each of the crafting professions will be locked this way. Very little specific information on crafting otherwise has been given. Like most things, they probably have a vague idea of how they want it to work, but haven't even started on that part of the development phase yet.
strong fjord
Ok, so theoretically if I wanted to put all of my points into blacksmithing I would need someone else to mine the ore and someone to turn it into ingots?
ruby swift
You got it.
native oxide
Did anyone else order pax tickets?
strong fjord
Ok, thanks.
ruby swift
Also, your freehold will have a limited number of spots that can support crafting structures you choose to build on it. So while you may be able to make everything on 3 different alts, you may not have the required crafting building to do everything yourself. Say you need a smelter for processing ore, that takes one of 6 upgradeable patches (# is unconfirmed). With the amount of crafting professions known, no one person is going to be able to "corner the market" through just alt crafting. You will have to work with others.
strong fjord
Ok, that makes sense.
Have they released anything about how legendary weapons will work in this game?

<@&257269635559194625> U said that arena's have 1v1 could it become competetiv?
ruby swift
Well, if by competitive do you mean there will be a loser and a winner. Sure. If you mean to ask "Will they balance every class for 1v1?" then no. They have said in the past that rather than chasing the pvp rainbow of every class being equal that they will concentrate on balancing game breaking abilities and those that are overpowered in group play.
Timestamp 34:58 about arena equalizing.
modest sparrow
One thing that gives flare to MMO's is the variability in the weapon animations. I know you're in pre-alpha or alpha phase right now, but will we be seeing unique weapon transitions or animations or should we be expecting relatively the same ani's for let's say a 1h sword and a 1h mace. Also will there be things such as more variability for spears, halberds, pikes, or glaives other than the usual slash, stab, slash stab ani's? Like maybe spins, flips, or something to make it visually more aesthetic.
dark jungle
@modest sparrow every weapon type will have its own animations

They have not addressed esports beyond saying that if it fit their systems they would be for it. Problem with mmo esports is your traditional twitchers don't want to have to do the background grunt work to level and gear their toons to get them to that level. They want pre-made teams ported into arenas, which works fine in an Overwatch or other fps style game, not so much mmos.

What justifies selling monthly exclusives for a game that doesn't come out for 2 years? This seems incredibly scummy/greedy and if any established studio did this they would be crucified. Do you not think just leaving a founders pack up till release is enough? Why go the extra mile with monthly releases?
dry flower
I would guess, because they are not a stablished studio with tons of money to throw at the game when things go wrong. They are a new studio with a very limited budget for a huge game, and they need all the financial help they can get until they are "established"
it's not scummy, it's called trying to survive in todays gaming environment

It was in one of the latest streams..I want to say either dec or jan..they were talking about utility skills...might be the one where they were talking about dropbears and climbing every tree not being a thing. It is out there...happy hunting.
@ocean forum Each archetype will have an utility skill. For mages from what we have seen on videos it a reveal hidden skill. Think of PAX when they had the mage cast the ability to show the "shortcut" of invisible islands.

If rangers can climb walls
mages better get a damn bubble

PVP will be meaningful. There are protections that prevent the game being a gankfest. You can't turn off PVP but you can choose to not fight back and punish your attackers for ganking you. Most of the biggest features revolve around PVP events causing PVE events to become available or unavailable depending on the outcome.

I suppose I should get my big question out of the way:
There was mention early on about a distinction between tab target and free-aiming, but it was pretty nebulous. After having played WoW and other tab targetting systems for years, and playing BDO now, I can tell that free aim is definitely something I personally prefer. My question is how are free aim mechanics going to fit in with the gameplay loop in AoC?
proven arrow
There won't be free aiming as you know it in BDO. You will have tab targeting as your baseline, and there will be skill shots you can put into your build. Steven used the word action combat abilities but that wording is misleading. Think cone of cold from wow. The cool part is being able to build your character to be more skill shot oriented or more lock on tab target skills. The abilities will have pros and cons to using either. It's up to you on how you build your skill set.
ruby swift
@proven arrow Actually there is a small clarification point there. No need to buy dlc is the quote. They have never confirmed that "expansions" will be free. If you want an example of how this works look at ESO. They profess free access to dlc with their sub, but the last two have been wordsmithed and called expansions and they do indeed charge for them. Until we have a statement from Intrepid that leaves no wiggle room down the line, there is indeed a chance that they will charge more down the line. There have been several argument on why this would be a bad decision for them to do, but companies make bad decisions all the time.
proven arrow
Ah ya I meant dlc

quartz kestrel
While the Node System and the promise of No P2W are the selling points of Ashes has anything been said on UI customization. As a Hardcore Raider in MMOs past it has always been incredibly nice to have things such as live DPS and HPS graphs as well as Strategic HP MP Displays for every Raid/Dungeon member?
Combat can make or break a game even if it isn't the focus of the game.
Yes I know we are in Alpha (proof of concept stage) and almost nothing will remain the same by launch, but that is exactly why I think its important to bring things like this up. Combat is very shallow from what they have shown us and I would hate for the game to flop because someone didn't mention something simply because it is "in ALPHA".
dark jungle
Users will have the ability to customize the UI https://youtu.be/UnQ1Cve-bXE?t=1269
The issue of DPS and HPS meters is still under consideration by the devs.
quartz kestrel
that sufficiently answers my guilds question, thank you.
proven arrow
They said they want the UI to be as customizable as possible. They did say they might allow addons but addon support can sometimes open the system to hacking and exploiting so if there is to be addons they would be limited.
Also once they start showing us what abilities each class gets as options for a build we'll have a greater understanding of how deep combat will be. Until then we are left with the equivalent to level 10 gw2 limited action bar.
