What's interesting is they have the Intrepid "Pre-Order Pack (Upgrade 3)" for $250. I too just bought the alpha 2 package but might have messed up due to them not labeling it as being on sale/drawing more attention too it.
copper coyote
@jade leaf you mean the KS packages?
jade leaf
No idea if its the kickstart package or not , its labeled as "Pre-Order Pack (Upgrade 3)"
copper coyote
cause that "Upgrade 3" confuses me to a point i can't answer this, lol
jade leaf
exactly
stable plover
@jade leaf I assume what your seeing is an offer to upgrade to the highest teir package by paying the difference between the package you bought and the next package up

hmmmm that might be.

i belive you are correct
I logged out and now that package isnt availible

@idle siren I know this is too super early to ask, but would AoC be interested in holding community design contests so the artists of the player-base can contribute ideas for clothing, hairstyles, etcetera?
hard smelt
So if we bought a pack at PAX does that influence our odds of getting the PAX raffle A0 keys? Mainly curious since we don't actually have the keys from the packs bought at the convention yet.
dark jungle
@hard smelt if you mean a Pre-order pack, then yes you will get increased odds of winning an A0 key

@idle siren will we see more culturally diverse pre order packs anytime soon aside from the typical euro centric Kaelar/Empyrean armor buildings, etc? It would be nice seeing some Ren'kai, Vek and Vaelune stuff in the shop, especially armor
heady pine
similarly, I heard that there was a way to enter into a drawing if you played at pax east- is that only for pve? I did the pvp yesterday asnd didn't hear about that
I mean, I preordered anyway so I dunno if the point is moot. I was just curious.
dark jungle
@heady pine there are multiple ways to get into A0 key drawings
- Register on the main site (gives you 1 entry)
- Be a Kickstarter or Summer crowdfunding backer (gives you 15 extra entries)
- Purchase a pre-order pack (gives you up to 10 extra entries)
- Be on the PAX livestream at the time of a raffle
- Been at the PAX panel event
- Be one of the 300 random key drawings during PAX
heady pine
ah- how do I get to sign up for no.6?

If any of these draw your name you will be notified and announced after PAX

So just a quick clarification, the people who were at the panel at PAX east get to be put in a raffle or does everyone who attended get one?
The panel that took place in the Dragonfly Theater?

@ivory bison no, the people at the panel who signed their name after the event will get a key, guaranteed
sorry if my response was a little ambiguous
and yes, the dragonfly theater one
ivory bison
not at all. i just didn't know when they will be sending out the codes. i have forgotten to ask. 😦
dark jungle
they will send out the codes after PAX is over, so expect probably sometime next week when they get back and get settled
and if you won a key, congratulations 😍
ivory bison
Thank you 😄 i'm so excited to play the game ❤
okay and one more question, I'm hoping i put my e-mail in correctly, is there i way i can check that i did?
dark jungle
you will need to send in a support ticket I think. just go to the main site and click on the "jewel" icon on the bottom right of the screen
ivory bison
would you suggest that i wait till next week to see if i did it correctly or do you recommend me summiting it now?
dark jungle
i'd say wait until the announcement is made
if you are not in the list then lodge a ticket

The angelic skin is concept art at this point. Who knows? Maybe the mouth will be awesome on release. Then people will come up to you all the time and say "You shure gotta purty mouth."
A more serious answer is TBD. They have stated in the past that the racial skins would be a whole appearence change costume. What has not been clarified is if there is a whole body slot on the paperdoll it goes into, or if the racials fill all the individual slots when applied.
They may not even know, since we do have a confirmed answer that cosmetics will be one of the last things worked on before release.

We are currently in Alpha 0. Those are "won" keys only. The package keys will be used "early q4" this year if you have a package that has A1 access.

Detailed drawings are low on the priority list. They'll get to them when they have time. They will probably release an in game preview of the cosmetics everyone already bought before the game comes out.

Hello Intrepid and Ashes community. I am a big fan of gaming eventhough I have a severe visual impairment. I know you guys said we will be able to customize the UI alot. I wanna know/test it out so even I can be able to play fully. I am an intrepid support so I will be able to start testing the UI for myself. But I'm not sure u will implement UI scaling/customization at alpha 1? This is very important for me so I would love to know if you will take accessability in to consideration 😃
rough gorge
@cyan lichen accessibility is always a factor to all games to include before release. With it being early Alpha it may not have all those features. I agree this is a valid point for those packages.

I've actually played some that didn't have much at all in accessability, and made it very hard for me :/

@idle siren Will enchanting be an artisan skill?
As in adding magical powers to items during crafting, and even processing?
fierce sandal
@idle siren What will the maturity of the game feel like, I'm not asking for a hyper gorey mess of a game as that isn't needed nor is it very tasteful. But I find games often go for a far too soft edge and I understand it from the business aspect of appealing to all crowds young and old. I'm simply wondering if quests NPC's will swear, if the vibe of some areas is quite gruesome.. if some dungeons are quite dark. I certainly am not asking for an 18+ game.. but something that doesn't make adults feel a bit childish sometimes is always welcome. TY I know it is early days, so if you can't answer it, no biggie.
hard smelt
So, continuing the run of A0 questions: can we have an approximate value for the total number of raffle entries after accounting for pre-order packs, kickstarter/summer shop bonuses, etc? Or, phrased another way, can we see odds per raffle entry of getting any given A0 key?

There is gunna be 300 more given out soon
U can do the odds then there is also the weekly giveaways where they give 5 I think

@digital yacht : No, you can't do the odds because they're distributing 300 keys over N entries and we don't know N, that was my question.

Is the alpha 0 curently running? So ppl with a key can constantly play or is it only on certain times? 😮

300/amount of ppl on the discord basically

They said at the panel that A1 would be focused tests against specific mechanics for the first part, so presumably A0 is as well.
spring fractal
Lex asked IS for me, and they said that backers and pre order people get more chances like the weekly drawing
hard smelt
Right, thus the question about the size of the raffle pool. We do not, as community members, have enough information to work this out.
Though I suspect they can't answer because it's not that hard to work backwards from raffle pool size to approximate sales numbers.
stable plover
@loud seal Intrepid has mentioned that there are scheduled testing times before so it's not a secret that it's not 24/7 (unless that has changed)

I assumed it isnt 24/7 due to the fact that alpha 1 wont be 24/7

Does the 7 referral need to play consisten to receive the "free" game.
spring fractal
needs to spent the 15 a month consistently
ruby swift
Actually no @simple ether. Your referrals still have to spend $15 for their sub. It is just they are gaining their $15 from Intrepid bucks. Think of it as a pancake, not a pyramid, before we start that ugly discussion that had finally been quashed.
spring fractal
Jahlon is right
Intrepid bucks dont get given in referral money I am pretty sure
If you refer someone who spends $15 to play Ashes of Creation, you are rewarded with $2.25
If they refer someone who spends $15 to play Ashes of Creation, they now only spend $12.75, which means you are now only rewarded with $1.91.
Proxy's example
ruby swift
All I would have to do is request that the referral money be sent to my bank. Then turn around and spend that money on my sub. IS is not going to know where that $15 came from.
The whole concept of a diminishing "downline" is exactly the MLM marketing crap they were trying to avoid.
The referral doesn't subtract from your owed sub balance. You can spend that money on whatever you want. The $15 sale is going to register as $15 on the account.
Yep. Preaching to the choir. The whole concept of people under you somehow being diminished by having their own referrals is what you have wrong. But then again, I am going to be a mogul, it won't be noticeable in the buckets of cash.
spring fractal
^
ruby swift
And how do you "reduce" it to 0? By spending $15 that you have gotten from your referrals. So you have still spent $15, which means the person who referred you still gets their 2 bucks

A lot of MMO's are simply a nightmare when trying to quest with your friends. You're not on the same part of the "quest chain," you're doing 2x as much gathering to meet the needs for multiple people, and sometimes you're not even able to see each other from being in different "phases" of a quest. Is there anything in particular that Intrepid plans on doing to tackle these common issues?

@carmine obsidian There are legendaries, although those might be special in their soulbinding (and are on average more involved than getting a single boss drop)
carmine obsidian
@stable plover Yeah I understand but I feel like a sword that anyone can use but only one person can have per server would be soooo cool.
tawdry scaffold
@carmine obsidian They have mentioned that due to progression, each server will be different. Which means some servers may have a rare boss occurance that other servers won't have. That boss may also drop a schematic quest for a super rare item that may be both unique to that server alone and the only of it's kind on that server. But, by the sounds of it they will take FOREVER to make.

During a siege on a node that i would have a home, be it apartment/house/landhold, would the things i have on that property be susceptible to looting or is my property protected until the node delevels
ruby swift
The mechanic works like this. If the siege is successful (attackers win) then there is a further 2 hour window where player housing such as freeholds are attackable. While your decorations, furnishings, and items will not be lootable, gathered/processed materials may be (they havent confirmed amounts or system on that). In the case where your freehold is removed via zoi shrinkage, then it will basically be "packed up" and you will be able to place it somewhere else without having to arrange all your stuff again. Certain levels/types of housing may become unavailable depending on the node deleveling. For example, instanced apartment require being built in a node level 4 or above. If the node delevels to 3 you would lose access to your apartment.(Stuff would still be packed up for later access). If say you bought an in node house at level 4, then that house would go poof also. However if you had bought a house at node level 3, it would have gotten bigger at node level 4. When the node delevels you would not lose that house, it just would go back to being the level 3 size. How they plan to deal with furniture and stuff when a house shrinks due to that mechanic has not been addressed fully. Hope this helps and is not too confusing.

@idle siren Will Necromancers be able to turn themselves into undeads, like in Everquest, Vanguard and possibly other previous MMO's?
rustic ledge
I dont know if this was asked, can we level from lvl 1 to max in one node?
ruby swift
@empty fjord The last stream from PAX had Steven saying that undead players would most likely be the function of a cosmetic skin similar to Fire/Ice, Anglelic/Demonic that have been released so far.
@rustic ledge You could stay in one node the entire time. Ashes will not function as a themepark where you have to travel to a different area to match your level. Will you miss out on a significant amount of Intrepid created content? Probably. We know that they plan an overarching storyline that will involve exploration and travelling all over the map. So, yes, you could stay in a single node, but up to you on whether that is limiting your personal "fun"

It's intended that Corruption is only lost through death, they've mentioned the possibility of having a perk of high end Military nodes being helping in corruption reduction - I suppose the followers of the 'dark deities' might get some assistance with that instead --- it's been said that it's expected to take multiple deaths to become uncorrupt

molten dawn
<@&257269635559194625> @community moderator
Apologies for the ping ahead of time. After giving it some thought, from a experienced crafter's perspective, will there be systems in place (in conjuncture with the node system) that allows for diversity in regards to the amount of raw resources available throughout the world and how that may affect what NPCs have in-stock? In a lot of MMOs you see people, myself included, will create crafting and gathering guides that sort of "stand the test of time" where players can use willingly at any point of time to learn how to make money.
By implementing your node system with crafting, I could envision a scenario where the generic "one guide to fit all circumstances" would be null and void, because each server is different and ever-changing. For example, if one server's (let's say) forest and coastal nodes have been leveled up extensively, then that would have an impact on those raw resources and thus create money making opportunities unique to that server. What will work for that server may not work for a server where those resources are scarce/unavailable. Just a thought, I hope this gets to anyone (and I hope the community "upvotes" it lol).

@vale trail What do you mean by "going after the town"? PvP camping it's normal player base? - There are measures for that in the corruption system / Sieging the town? - The streamers community would have to make an investment roughly equaling the investment made by the town to initiate the siege or join in on an existing one, and adhere to the games sieging schedule, but otherwise that's pretty intended behavior / Something else?

If people use adblock you lose out on those visits
merry plover
Yeah, Raven, if we can take any lessons from games like Archeage, Eve, and Albion it's that people find a way around these caps and always amass into giant 6k man blobs. Hopefully AoC discourages it a little.

A VERY speculative workaround for the issues with the current referral system is to give your friends your referral link in the format https://www.ashesofcreation.com/register/ref/Yourusernamehere/?campaign=YourusernamehereRefer so it looks like https://www.ashesofcreation.com/ref/Greypelt/?campaign=GreypeltRefer Please let the community know if you find this helpful.

A question posed in the PI private discord channel asked about enchanting items, the following was my response "There are two types of enchantments for items, vertical and horizontal. vertical enchantments are a power progression for a crafted item, more dmg or mitigations, added effects or bonuses. The vertical enchantments include risks. the horizontal enchantments are more situational, ie I'd like my sword to do force damage instead of holy damage because the monsters I tend to fight are incorporeal. This doesnt make the item more powerful, but instead more applicable to different situations, and less so to others. This type of enchanting assumes no risk, just time and effort."
gleaming iron
Does risk mean % of success ? Meaning i could lose my weapon +4 making it +0? In what ways could we avoid this? I'm all thinking Is Archeage and cash shop items to not ruin items on enchanting

digital yacht
@full hollow he said early q4 which is roughly oct/nov -> dec/Jan , but he said most likely before november
ruby swift
@grave stag Leader of Men had 5 beta keys you could gift. That said they do have special stuff that channel/content creators may have access too to give away. So if you want to give keys away, you either need to upgrade from BoW to LoM, or get them to recognize your awesomesauce.

Are the Mods going to make gameplay in alpha 0 and the other test phases?

Community mods have nothing to do with developing the game beyond expressing their opinions.
If you meant will they run events? TBD, but those would be from actual IS developers in any case.
grave stag
@ruby swift I'm wanting to pay for a package and give it to winners from a drawing within my gaming group. I'm aware of all of what you just said already. 😉

Nope there are only 3 mods. Belle, Lex, and Diura. I just spend an unhealthy amount of time following the game and keeping up on current info.

They are fixing it now that they are back from PAX

@fallen palm You respawn at certain points placed around the node, not specifically back at the city. If corrupted that location may be random in the node, if not corrupted it will be to nearest. There is no corpse run back. If there is someone nearby or in your party that can rez, they can do that on the spot also.
This is done to stop people from suicide traveling back to town.

@trim mauve the system was indeed experiencing a glitch that was discovered and fixed today. We will be reconciling the data from March 28th till today into the system, but that may take a few days. Atm it should be working again.

Last question I have for you Steven, will Intrepid continuously add new crafting content unlike most mmorpgs? Such as more diverse foods, weapons, or armors overtime? I see many companies adding new bosses with new loots but very few focus on adding new things players can craft.
I will post some fan made lore on the forums then!
It may not be in the game but it sure will inspire some bouts of combat in the game

Will you have stamina limitations to gathering/crafting. As this game has a massive emphasis on crafting and the progression of a city ie economy. Having stamina limitations could make specific materials or items become priceless due to limit ability to produce them.
I think although it’s a great idea the way the game is designed from what you have described it would be counter productive to have stamina limitations.

blazing fog
So as far as sieging nodes will there be certain things you can do to improve your odds of a successful siege? Such as; Taking the nodes reliquary out of the city will impede their defenses in some way? As to add a layer of spice to alliance betrayals or stealthy coordinated attacks (rogues sneaky skills could come in handy here)
ruby swift
Yes, several mechanics will be in play during the declaration period. Allowing for the defenders to boost defense, and the attackers to do the opposite. Who puts more effort in will have an advantage.
blazing fog
Lastly does anyone know if they will hold quest making competitions for quests that will be offered by npcs in game?

There has been no indication that they are looking for community submissions. Not saying they won't, just has been zero info on it.

@merry plover bit late but add also black desert on list to look on; basically big guilds used satellites as buffer on nodewars and helped satellites to claim smaller nodes (and ofc guild war was also subject of this)
(normal alliances was another way to play that though too; basically few guilds agreeing how nodes are to be shared and subsequently aiding allianced partner on war)
and ofc to add but I do foresee that competive guilds will opt to smallest size to gain largest benefit

do we know anything about the state of the combat system, how final it is at that point or if there are going to be big changes? i haven't heard anything about int in the streams, but i wasn't able to listen to them all, so maybe i missed it..
dark jungle
@worldly river the combat system in the pre-alpha (alpha-0) is currently very raw, as they have been mainly focusing on getting the server side of things working and the major pieces of the world to fit together. Leading up to alpha-1 they will be really honing the combat system, so expect to see huge advances in that area 😃
stable plover
@worldly river "What you see in pre-alpha, we have not honestly spent a lot of time on combat. Most of the time has been spent on core technical features for proprietary back-end solutions, collecting many players in a single zone, with 4000 npcs, establishing nodes, npc systems, cultural experience, getting good server fps, establishing a connection through our launcher - combat has not been at the forefront of development. We haven't really had someone specifically focus on combat yet, apart from maybe Akil has been the closet to working on combat, just making skills work. We’re looking into the action side of combat right now and building systems for that. The reason we’re doing that is tab targeting has been a staple, Action combat is popular right now, we really want to delve into that right now so we can better understand how to merge them together because they have vastly different play styles and tempos. We’re spending the time now to play with those things."

I dont know if someone would perhaps know the answer, I have looked around a few places. Gear Cosmetics. Will this game have unique appearances for gear drops? or is it going to be kinda like a tier system where all gear between levels x-y look the same y-z look the same?
barren stag
@little plover unique appearances
Many gear pieces will have various themes, including racial
stable plover
@little plover "There will be multiple sets of gear per tier." "There will be different tiers for the same set based on level." Intrepid hasn't promised all gear having unique appearances (unless I've missed it), but they have promised multiple sets of gear per tier (and theoretically sets of appearances to go with them) available at a given level

Will Intrepid allow player made quests or cosmetics in the game similar to the elder scrolls games if they're good enough?

hard smelt
Can events cause nodes to lose experience when they fail? I'm assuming not, since that would make monster coins into cash shop siege tools via increased threat from event monsters, but then why do I care about event failure? Seems weird if the motivation for defending against a dragon attack is more "catch the loot piñata," than "defend your homes." Feels like I'm missing a key piece somewhere in this system.
quaint compass
did you just answer your own question? 😄
spring fractal
You can hurt nodes through monster events
crystal beacon
@hard smelt Event nodes can cause nodes to downgrade, so it is something to worry about. As for monster coins - they can't be used to trigger an attack, only to participate in one that's already spawned. They justified it way earlier by saying that it won't be a huge advantage for the monsters to use monster coins, and that attacks are unpredictable enough that a guild can't just siege a town together at a planned time
hard smelt
I guess what I'm missing is how it's not a huge advantage to the monsters, then. Seems like for that to be true they either have to give event monsters a very strong AI or give players nerfed versions of all the skills.
@crystal beacon Is there a good discussion with the devs somewhere you can link to? The monster coin video is super lite on the details.
crystal beacon
@hard smelt this was way early on, like around the original kickstarter I think. I wanna say it was one of the Q&As that ran during or right after the Kickstarter. Though even that was pretty light - probably something to keep an eye on going forward
stable plover
hard smelt
Oh, huh, so the aoc.wiki version says you can't destroy/delevel nodes. That's a bit disappointing since there's no possibility for the whole "we delved too deep, now we'rescrewed" type endings to node progression. Does neatly prevent siege-via-cash-shop, though.
Thanks for the links.
spring fractal
the AoC wiki is wrong then
you can totally destroy and delevel nodes
@hard smelt
hard smelt
The quote from Steven disagrees
spring fractal
Where is that
hard smelt
spring fractal
oh yes, but that is just for monster coins
if a hoard of monsters attacks a node, it can delevel if it isnt protected by an active community
hard smelt
Which was the topic of discussion for my statement. Sorry, I was insufficiently precise.
spring fractal
mhm, I just read your statement and it seemed like an "in general" kind of thing, no worries
quaint compass
I think Steven’s also hinting at the fact that we are working ourselves up by being a little too concerned about how the game works when it hasn’t in fact been released past the Alpha 0 stage.
I think generating ideas are pretty awesome for everyone but don’t push for changes this early in the production.
hard smelt
Yep, I agree. But I do think it's interesting to look at the design implications of the monster coin system. Either way, this has gotten well out of scope for the questions channel. I'm going to go make a forum thread, though, as I'm curious what other peoples thought are or if people have additional pieces of information as to the developers' thoughts.

abstract swift
I think what NoNo is asking is, will classes get skills of their own? For instance, if you have to get to lvl 20 to choose a secondary class, all the skills you gain up till then will be augmented, however , skills after that will be personal to that class.
dark jungle
I read it like, you get skills with your primary archetype, then you augment with your secondary, but you need to "unlock" primary skills and augments by earning skill points as you level. So unlock rather than get new.

Are there going to be Secret Doors, Traps & Loot that only the Rogue class can find?
How are Summoners going to work? They could almost be a one man army if they're alowed to fight with their minions. Seems a little unbalanced. Will they be forced to control their minions while they are summoned, leaving the Summoner unable to attack and open for attack?
Will there be Gods to choose from for the Cleric class? For instance: if I am a Rogue/Cleric, will I be able to choose a God of Thievery, Darkness or Death and get bonuses from that?
Can anyone Duel Wield or will that be a specific Class feature?
abstract swift
ok
full hollow

Secret doors? yes utility skills are available and different for every class.
Summoner will rely a lot on their pet but won't be summoning armies. They will have utility based on their secondary augment but won't be completely self sufficient. (partial speculation partial based on things said)
We don't know much on Gods only that gods can affect what elements you control as a cleric.
As for Dual wield we have been told anyone can use any weapon, however some weapons are more useful for certain classes. Dual wielding I'm fairly certain hasn't been specified as something specific to any one class so it likely sticks with the same rules as the weapon skills.

Dear Intrepid studios, is the combat in the preview from the alpha the finished form factor (so the basic idea) or is it still heavily in development. I just feel like it lacks behind some of the more recent MMOs such as Black Desert Online, Tera and Blade and Soul all of which had quite good combat. also, are there any ideas to tease the main story before release (like in the form of manga or some trailers) just to get everyone more invested and involved in the world? Many thanks for you time, DJ Levis.

then why does their facebook tag on the website point to the ashes of creation one
echo oyster
Because it does.
glass swallow
The Ashes of Creation fb page is like a celebrity page. Intrepid gaming is like a user account and has messaging capabilities
echo oyster
Btw belle celeb pages can message too
verbal quiver
More curious to why they are reaching out on a fb page that doesn't have the right name, with only 2 status changes and no real information in the about section....

@verbal quivertge main page is an event page. Intrepid gaming is a normal page with messaging.

Greetings friends. If you are amongst the 300 winners chosen from the PAX East giveaways on social media, you can expect to be contacted on that platform to coordinate confirming your key. If you won via Twitch, please look for a DM from me there. If you won via Facebook, look for a DM from this account - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100009606770963. If you won via twitter look for a DM from the Official Twitter page. Please note that they will not ask for personal info via these methods. Thank you for time and the multiple inquires ❤

I recently upgraded my voyager pre-order pack to an intrepid one, but i noticed that the upgrade 3 doesn't include a name reservation. Is this intentional, and if so what's the reason for it?

No. They are discord and social media’s

stable plover
@azure vector It seems like A0 will always be under NDA, Officially approved Content Creators will likely have a separate NDA which includes "The ability to record Alpha Zero Footage which can be submitted to Intrepid for review and approval for early release, and permission potentially for streaming with Devs riding along." More information on the Content Creator program is available at https://sites.google.com/view/AshesofCreationContentCreators

jaunty remnant
Will there be or can you do a zone/area that functions similiarly the the way the wilderness functioned in runescape? The most fun and heart pumping moment ive ever felt in an MMO was when you went into the wilderness to go after rare resources/treasures but that feeling that at any time a player could come up and kill you and take a piece of your gear or gold or you could kill some one else was amazing. High risk high reward zone. Thanks!

There is a punishment system somewhat
tawdry scaffold
the few safe zones will be housing and towns i believe

People can make Bounty kills and i think there's a system of corruption

AOC - in future will have options to lock free camera mode in combat like GW2 and ESO ?
dark jungle
limber siren
Sorry if this has been answered somewhere else before, but will players be able to equip all the skills of their current class and secondary class at once, or is it a system where the player has a certain number of skill slots that can be filled with skills from a pool, the pool being much larger than the number of skill slots?
WoW and GW1 being examples of the respective systems in this order.
dark jungle
@limber siren players will only have a certain number of active skills at one time. The exact number isn't known yet, but it will probably be more than 10 and less than 30 from memory.
open sierra
i mean about free targeting mode
limber siren
In that case, do we know under what conditions we will be able to replace our active skills? ooc? In towns?
dark jungle
@open sierra you basically hold right mouse and you can free target. There will probably also be toggle buttons so you can do this without holding the mouse.
open sierra
y like i said in gw2 a crosshair and you can choose freely targets
it will help for a mass pvp if you are a ranged or melle class 😃
dark jungle
@limber siren that isn't known yet. It has been shown on alpha-0 livestream that your active skills can be chosen on the fly by dragging from your skill tree to your action bar. I'm not sure though if this will be the way going forward into later test phases.
open sierra
but not for healers 😛
limber siren
Very knowledgeable answer. Thank you.
lusty helm
Will there be easter eggs in the game
dark jungle
@lusty helm yes! There are already several easter eggs in Alpha-0, and I expect more to be added by those zany environmental artists as we get closer to release 😃
This was all discussed on livestream at PAX East btw, so #baconconfirmed but not under NDA

@limber siren Your secondary does not give you the skills of that archetype. It augments your primary's skills. So you will not be getting new skills when you choose your secondary; only augments to your already existing skills

Will there be a family system like in Archeage? I feel like that's a cools system for a small group of friends swho would rather not join a large guild
stable plover
@blazing fog Steven: " I want to make sure tone for community is not overly strict." At some point - https://i.imgur.com/30CQgPV.png mention of possible filtering in regards to node names - I think they mentioned a general chat filter at some point, but I can't find it (feel free to help me find it so I can get it to a more reference-able spot)
@hardy bluff There at least isn't something called a Family System in AoC, but looking at the AA wiki perhaps you could get similar effects from AoC - "Family members may share property rights, giving members full access to houses and farms." Freeholds will have an access list that you can allow certain players different permissions. Co-ownership is planned but will need more work -- "Families have their own chat channel. Families also gain a buff depending on their level (from 1 to 3). Family is similar to a Guild, but designed for smaller groups of players ranging from 2 to 12 people." ---- You might possibly be able to replicate something like that in Ashes but with the steps being Guild and Alliance instead of Family and Guild

will there be chickens in AoC if yes can i make a chicken farm on my very own plot of land

Latest quote from last week
Not very much in VO. It's a fun thing to have luxury of putting into a game, but in a game like an MMO when you have expansions updates/ ideally need to use the same Voice actors or your going to have sustainability issues. Harder to translate when accommodating voice acting - fun luxury to have, but costly and takes a lot of logistics
Possible we may have voiced npc greetings
crystal beacon
Yeah too bad. I think that voice acting is really important even in an mmo. Adds a lot of immersion and makes the characters and story come to life :(
Voice acting in eso for example was incredible
Almost everything voice acted
I mean I agree that mechanics and a good gameplay are more important
But there are also players that like to do RP and for whom game immersion is really important
remote axle
VO is an expensive polish that usually do not pay for itself.. For a small studio its just not feasible to spend a huge amount of the budget on VO work when that money could be better spent on other more important features.

<@&257269635559194625> Is a Mac version in the works and will it be available upon release?
glass swallow
@digital topaz Q: What platforms / OS will Ashes of Creation be launched on? Will additional platforms / OS be added in the future?
A: At launch, AoC will be available on Windows. Intrepid is open to the idea in the future for expansion of scope. That said, they are specifically writing code to be cross-platform capable, with Windows specific functionality being modularly loaded at compile time. That way if they do decide to build of other OS / Platforms that UE4 supports, they will have significantly less code that needs to be refactored to support building for the new target OS / platform.
Thank you.

They haven't announced when the upgrades will be removed, but they will be removed at some point in the future. I would guess that they will give sufficient warning to people before they do so.
