@crystal beacon the graphics in Alpha-0 are mostly placeholder graphics. The graphical fidelity will improve as we move into Alpha-1 testing
And yes, marriage will be in the game
crystal beacon
I'm asking whether it will be photo realistic.
dark jungle
Not photo-realistic, but high quality fantasy style graphics will remain the theme
smoky raft
will there be emotes
dark jungle
Yes there will
smoky raft
will i probs see emotes like a chicken dance or something
dark jungle
hahah i hope not
trail knot
bah i was reading that haha
crystal beacon
I think you should wait until computer hardware gets cheaper before you decide to make it photo realistic or anything like that.
smoky raft
yo are hang gliders gonna be a thing or can u only glide with a mount🐔
crystal beacon
When will this game be released?

open wagon
I've read that the classes seem to be set in different archetypes, with tanks, dps, etc. Will we see the option of going classless where we can pick from all trees but not be particularly good at any? For example, gain access to all skill trees but not receive passives/buffs that you would generally get if you take a specialized class (tank with resistance and/or health, assassin with dmg and evasiveness, mage with dps, dps and dps, etc)
smoky raft
can u answer my question ^ about gliding @dark jungle
smoky raft
oh ok ty
proven arrow
@open wagon you have to choose a primary class. There won't be classless roles. The class augment system may fulfill the examples you asked about however. We have very little info on class combos still.

Will there be NPC's that do stuff? like walk around etc? or will most of them be Stationary?
quaint compass
so from videos it looks like the NPC's try to blend in with the community, some will be in the markets talking with sellers and sometimes looking like they're complaining where as others might be doing their daily jobs
anything to try and fit in with the players to make the world feel busy and full of life
safe quartz
Yeah, a game like AoC, we need NPC's that do stuff

@safe quartz they have discussed NPCs that perform "idle actions" to make the world seem more alive, but they havent confirmed this will be in the game yet https://youtu.be/JH-sX1aFljM?t=3m56s

they have dice, card and other "less savory" games planned @safe quartz

Will there be racism in the game by npc's? Like the vek hate the kaelar so they charge them more or not give quests. (Everyone thinks the tulnar are a bit weird in general)

is there any info on pc stats required for the game?
dry flower
no, we only know what they are using to develop the game, and the specifications for the engine itself, so it's somewhere in between those too, problem is that the difference between those two is quite large so, we don't really know
@heady quartz the unreal engine requirements -> speculatively floor of what we may need:
https://wiki.unrealengine.com/Recommended_Hardware
What they are using to develop the game -> speculatively the roof:
copper coyote
and in some stream Steven said that "In run over 60 fps in middle of lvl 3 node with 970, and it's still very unoptimized" (or something like that)
heady quartz

They said that you cant make your character any colour to keep it kinda realistic, like you cant have blue elves. Does anyone know if green, light and dark green, is a realistic skin colour for the orks?
I ask this because to my understanding orks are similar to goblins and trolls and was wondering if I could RP as a goblin from Clash of Clans
severe bay
Anyone knows if we will be able to teleport between towns in this game? 😦
quaint compass
if the Node goes through a scientific influence, a fast travel mechanic can be implemented.
severe bay
Hmm interesting, thanks!

Fast travel withing the node's ZOI tho, if it is a metropolis Scientific node and you want to go to a small town within it's ZOI then yes it would be possible
crystal beacon
hi there. i signed the nda for the alpha 0. what do i have to do next?
spring fractal
@crystal beacon contact @glass swallow for what you need.
crystal beacon
@idle siren morning. Hope you have recovered well. Q: If guild mates are citizens of different warring nodes, will they be able to go red on each other due to the node war?
dry flower
keep in mind they said that a scientific metropolis will have fast travel, that does not only mean teleportation. It could be more along the lines of air ships, or the flight masters in wow@severe bay
old sand
Well if you have a guild in a node can someone join that guild if the belong to a different node?
wispy shoal
quess that are 2 good questions for Q&A
dark jungle
@old sand node citizenship is not tied to guild membership, but having said that, the guild leader might require all members to be citizens of a particular node, but that would be a player oriented decision not one enforced by the game
old sand
Cool and if my node and my guilds node go to war? 
dark jungle
@old sand that is a good question, and one that has been raised before. We need Steven to clarify on that
loud seal
basically if your node go in war it's only defence (from game laws) so if you want your node to not delevel you have to defend it, no ?
or i missed something ?
well, they "do" with sieges
loud seal
BTW, a "mayor" that could declare war against another node and then they appear reds to each others with no corruption system could be awesome, really ! And i dont like PVP that much i prefer to be left alone doing my business ^^
with a vote from citizens or something like that
to create competition
distant cloak
I got my 0 code signed my ND A when should I expect my ability to access a0
crystal beacon
@simple ether Read the city hall blog. They do go to war...

@distant cloak you will be sent credentials to access A0 when the next testing phase starts
We don't have a date or time on when that is.

zenith jackal
Any idea if Spears/ polearms will be a thing?
dark jungle
@zenith jackal yes they are in the game
to be more accurate, polearms are confirmed, one handed spears are being considered
zenith jackal
Awesome thanks!
zenith jackal
Regarding crafting, I know they said the weapons will be very customizable, did they mean the look too?
dark jungle
Yes
They have spoken about an "item creation suite" as a potential https://youtu.be/KCr9yh2Y97I?t=24m20s
not confirmed though
crystal beacon
Steven mentioned last year--think it was during a recorded stream; not sure--that he personally wanted item construction much like you see in some shooting games (i.e. The Division) where you decide the physical makeup of the item. However, it was just a wishlist feature. It may never make it into the game. I remember Jeffrey having a strong look of uncertainty.

@glass swallow About the Content Creator Requirements and Benefits, a Twitch streamer need only have 5k followers as a base requirement?
If accepted, they are invited to A0-B2?

@digital topaz 1. Yes; but is not a guarantee of acceptance 2. Yes, at least as long as they remain in the program 3.

Will epics be epic?
spring fractal

safe quartz
Nodes don't go to war, players initiate it, but what if a player in my guild initiates a Siege on a Node that I'm a Citizen of? This should be Interesting.
Also will there be anyway to know if a Guild member is a citizen of said node?
Why would a player want to Siege a node anyways?
dark jungle
There is no simple answer to that question, you can probably get more background here:
https://www.ashesofcreation.com/a-reactive-world-nodes/
https://www.ashesofcreation.com/node-series-part-one/
https://www.ashesofcreation.com/node-series-part-2-metropolis/
As far as knowing if someone is a node citizen, you could possibly ask them to say something in the node chat channel
Node governments can declare "war" on another node, but this is different to a siege. It flags the other node citizens as hostile. The question of whether this node based flagging will override guild member flagging has not been answered yet. Something to ask Steven at the next livestream 😃

So content gets locked behind class abilities like climbing for example. How much content?
If you wanted to gather for a few hours it would be better to got with a friend or pointless to go by yourself?

rain spindle
So i started watching ashes of creation the pax east panel and what i really noticed about the game was when one of the devs said that "nothing will be the same and players aren't going to log in the game and do daily quests but to notice what has changed" and that got me thinking, does that mean if a party takes down a boss will that boss be forever dead?

I wondered that too
maybe there is a lifespan on the boss
or it will come back from the ashes after a whike

clever hornet
Why will there be no RP servers? The separation of RPers from Non-RPers can be crucial to the immersion of players from both parties. Some people don't want to see RPers, others do. It has no effect on gameplay, so why not flag one or two servers as "RP"?
upper turtle
Because Steven doesn’t want to separate the community, he doesn’t want to give special treatment to rp’ers. And if he does so why shouldn’t the be pvp servers, pve servers, crafting servers. So I’m doing so he might create more harm than good
remote axle
@clever hornet this is what Steven said during an interview: http://www.aocwiki.net/Fevir_Gaming_Q%26A_2017-05-10#KingAxzel:_Will_you_consider_adding_RP_servers.2C_just_a_place_where_RPers_can_hang_out_with_each_other.3F

vale trail
On the issue of keeping rpers separate from non-rpers, I've seen what having both groups of people together can do. On WoW, there are those who dont RP, that come to MG just to troll those who do. So it honestly wont matter if they're separated or not, so long as you have those kind of people in the community. Best thing the devs and GMs can do is actively enforce griefing and harassment rules, maybe help foster some RP with server events. :shrugs: just giving my two cents.
azure vector
depends on how you define RP too. Some people may view other peoples version of RP as being 'trolly' because its different to their own
vale trail
Nah I get that. When I say trolling I mean using toys, spamming emotes, or supersizing mounts in the middle of a group
Things that are done solely to disrupt RP
Mind you I'm speaking in terms of RP on WoW

I remember watching a Q&A or maybe it was on the forums somewhere and it was said you could make inns/taverns how will this system work will it be a certain building design or will you have to convert a building into one using furniture and will it work any different to normal house as in if a player rents a room will that room be available to only that player and whoever they invite in ect. Might be taking an inch and making it a mile here but I thought I might as well ask 😃
remote axle
Its a blueprint of a tavern that you can decorate the interior/exterior of, then you can save that blueprint incase your freehold gets destroyed during a siege.. That will save all the changes you have done to the building.

Hey team! What's the loading going to be like in AoC? will it load the entire Node Section once you pass from one to another or will it load everything within a proximity of your character?
safe quartz
No Loading at all
stable plover
@safe quartz There's a difference between "No Load screens" and "No Loading" - the goal with Ashes is more like trying to keep the loading from being noticeable
safe quartz
Its just what Steven Said, No Loading.
quaint compass
Thanks both of you 🙂
safe quartz
now weather its a diff form of loading i dunno, He didn't explain. He said no Loading in Regions.
quaint compass
What will the transition be like between weekly seasonal changes? like the scenery changing.
stable plover
"Is AoC truly open world? Are there any invisible walls?
When we say open world, we pretty much mean that. We’re aiming to make as much of the world traversable as possible, because exploration is something we want to incentivize and reward. There may be certain other situations where you’d see a loading screen, like cutscenes perhaps, but they’ll be few and far between." --- “An Open World Non-Faction based MMORPG set in a High Fantasy World”. Unpack. What do you mean by open world?
No loading screens. No heavy gating. There will be terrain markers that separate zones"
season changes are supposed to take place during server maintenance (aka I wouldn't expect much in the way of animation transitions) - although there are supposed to be some exceptions
quaint compass
so then there will be weekly server maintenance?

I got two questions regarding gameplay. I'm aware some of them might not be known yet :
-
What kind of direction is intrepid going with armour? I believe I've heard that no class is limited to light/medium/heavy armour?
-
This falls in line with the first question but do we expect the game to follow typical systems where light armour is most suited for mages, medium armour for rogues/rangers and heavy armour for tanks/fighters?
Similar to how eso works?
stable plover
@crystal beacon "What reason does a mage have not to use heavy physical armor?
Heavy physical armor is geared towards physical armor damage mitigation, and if that mage is up against another mage, it might not be a good idea to wear physical armor." - I assume the converse is - if a tank wants to tank magical damage they would wear light armor --- I assume medium armor hits a balance between the two
crystal beacon
I think mostly I drew the conclusion because in mmos like eso or similar games. Heavy armour tends to strongly limit mages in some way. Reduced mana regeneration being a common example.
Or simply light armour increases spell damage.

Since techically everywhere with the exception of starter zones and freeholds is pvp active, yes.

i'ts been a torture
i have refreshed my email every 10 mins for the last 3 days
Also: I sent a message to the support through the official AoC website (not forum) 2 days ago and still haven't received a reply, is it normal?
gloomy pond
Well, look at it this way. They gave out 1263 keys pretty recently. It will probably take some time to sort it all out so lets be patient ^^
swift rivet
Yeah the Twitch notification comes via "whisper" since the inbox was disabled by Twitch last month. I did that on Friday night and was placed in the "queue" to receive the e-mail on Monday. Never came so Belle suggested I open a support ticket. Did that on Monday night, still waiting for a response or even acknowledgement.
stable plover
@crystal beacon support reply times are usually about a week, so yes
swift rivet
On a related note, I submitted a ticket 11 days ago and never got a response, so I'm not sure how well they are responded to
verbal quiver
@crystal beacon normal support response time is 7 daysish
crystal beacon
oh ok thanks
swift rivet
I think it's longer than that now, per above.
verbal quiver
if it's longer than that bump the ticket by replying to the email you got sent
stable plover
yeah, they're further behind than usual because of GDC and PAX
swift rivet
Did that as well, per Belle's suggestion.
Unfortunately, she doesn't have access to zendesk, so she can't even advise me of status - can only recommend I keep bumping it
which I assume is only making the queue even longer
verbal quiver
as grey said due to pax etc they are playing catch up atm, so there may be delays
remote axle
They are manually processing all the A0 registrations, and they gave away 1200 keys during PAX, its gonna take a bit for them to get everything sorted
swift rivet
Yes, that is understandable, except I was told that all of the Pax winners were already processed and should have received their emails, which is why I was guided to submit a ticket since it was an edge case
remote axle
That could be possible, and its better to be safe than sorry
swift rivet
Agreed
In any case, I'll be in Alpha 1 via the Kickstarter pledge, and I'm more looking forward to that stage of the development cycle.
dark jungle
Yes, there will be, but they will be very limited
Only a handful of people will have them on a server. 5x metropolis mayors, 5x kings/queens of castles + a few more temporary flying mounts that drop off epic bosses. The boss dropped ones last for a few weeks.

smoky raft
wait wats stopping a craftier from stealing ur item ? is there anything to stop it from happening
spring fractal
Well how and why would they steal an item
Like in what situation would that happeh
stable plover
A situation like that could be something like, you give the crafter the mats to create a sword for you, the crafter logs out and you never get a sword - or you give a crafter your sword and whatever it takes to upgrade the sword and you never get any of it back - I don't know that Intrepid has actually answered if they'll have shady crafter protections
spring fractal
I think you will either just find a personal crafter for all your gear, or make him give you some sort of collateral, or if they log out, you can collect your stuff after a time
Or maybe no protections, as that is life
honest dagger
So earlier on @verbal quiver had answered this Question *** "-are the items available through the kickstarter going to be account wide or one character only?
🍆4
+You will be able to assign the item to a character on your account. And reassign if you wish" *** So I would just like some clarification on this, as It sounds like it's going to be similar to the way GGG(Grinding Gear Games) did it in Path of Exile, where you assign the cosmetic for use on the character your playing, then if you switch to another and want to use it, you re-assign it for use on that avatar instead. Am I correct in my understanding of this? If I am, I am happy to see it done that way 😃 I think it is a very good system for cosmetics.
dark jungle
You are 100% correct @honest dagger
There will be an account page where you assign or re-assign cosmetic items to your characters
Most of the skins and items will only be able to be used by one character at a time, but will be reusable indefinitely
honest dagger
Hmm so I will have to go to a separate page to assign the items? It won't be like an alternate tab or slot that I just click on to choose the cosmetic? If that so, it Sounds like having a separate page might be more of a hassle then just a cosmetics [Tab] or extra slots next to your portrait to help assign the cosmetics.
dark jungle
The account page will be on the website I believe @honest dagger
honest dagger
Well I guess I will have to wait to see how it turns out, but that does sound like a bit of a hassle then just adding some way in-game for us to be able to choose them.
Thank you though @dark jungle for the responses 😃
zinc cave
Is there still going to be a "persistent" alpha starting with alpha 1 up to launch?
wind saffron
If i click on the affiliates link does i get rewards myself?
honest dagger
@wind saffron From what I can tell, you get discount on all store purchases as well for using the link. And I believe whichever affiliates link that you choose to use, gets a portion of anything you spend in credit.
old sand
Is the alpha 1 going to be lots of testing the game so lots of wipes and random events to test different parts of the game and lots of feed back wanted
honest dagger
@old sand They have stated there will be a wipe after Alpha 0, and Alpha 1. And Alpha 2 up to release will be Persistent/
remote axle
@old sand A1 is gonna be similar to A0, planned testing phases with wipes. A2 is the first test with a persistent server.
old sand
Cool well i give lots of feed back to someone. Probably just my dog but he always listens to me
honest dagger
Are wonderful for that reason 😃 And your feedback is always needed & wanted.
cosmic shell
Will ashes of creation be graphically demanding at medium/low graphics?, and anyone know overall if its going to be more graphically demanding then say BDO
remote axle
@cosmic shell the UE4 engine is pretty good for optimization, so I think you should be fine on low/medium settings. Based on the footage we have seen from A0, it looks to be similar to BDO in foliage density and graphical quality.
cosmic shell
Thanks 😃
old sand
What dos persistent mean?
digital topaz
Means it won't be in waves like A1 will be
Up one week then down the next
It'll be up 24/7 until release.
old sand
Cool
wind saffron
So what i understand if you use a affiliates link, he gets the 15% of what i spend. But i do get discounts on the store because i used the link?
remote axle
@wind saffron https://www.ashesofcreation.com/referral-program/
wind saffron
It doesn't say anything that i get rewards myself
analog bay
You do not get rewards for clicking someone else's link as far as I have seen or heard. It is only if someone clicks on yours.
remote axle
@wind saffron Katie is correct, it does not say what rewards you get, because there is no rewards for being referred.

So is the "Sky's Vengeance Mount" a flying mount?
marsh hazel
Hello! I have received an alpha key from the Pax Panel (Freaking awesome!) I was wondering when I will be given a login/ can make a login? also when the next time the servers will be open for us to dabble in?
remote axle
@marsh hazel Have you received and signed your NDA? Once its signed, it will take a while for it to be processed by Intrepid. Then you'll get forum access to the A0 test and further information from there.
marsh hazel
I have signed yes, So now I just wait? cool good to know
spring fractal
Yep
digital yacht
@cosmic shell no the only way to get a true flying mount is to be a king/queen of a castle (so guild leader) or mayor of a metropolis also there u can get a temporary flying mount from elite world bosses but those only last a certain Amt of time
stable plover
@cosmic shell We don't know what kind of mount Sky's Vengeance is
stable plover
(It might be a hovering mount)
digital yacht
Yes mounts will still hover above the ground but no free flight
Did they say this game was high fantasy? So maybe we will see inanimate objects as mounts as well? Like flying carpets etc?
stable plover
@digital yacht "You can get different types of royal mounts, don’t have to be dragons, can be a different type of legendary mythical creature." - I think that's a decent sign that they might intend to sell some royal mount skins - I sort of doubt that this one is though, or it would have really needed a 'you won't be able to use this' warning
@digital yacht The game is high fantasy, there's already one animated object mount 🐻
digital yacht
Yea lol? Which one?
stable plover
Stuffertons is an animated object

open sierra
there will be a option in future to pay for monthly subscription like in wow or archeage with gold or with an ingame item?
remote axle
@open sierra Not that we know of so far , no.. We do have the referral program which if you use your referral link to get a few friends into the game you get 15% of all their purchases which can be used to pay for your monthly sub
stable plover
@open sierra Intrepid has specifically said there won't be, they consider it a form of P2W
open sierra
it is not p2w
someone buy a month sub for gold exchange that you have collected
not evryone can afford to pay monthly
i remember this when i was young with wow
remote axle
@open sierra Its a divisive topic but Intrepid has made it clear, at least for now, that they don't want players able to purchase Sub with Gold
open sierra
sadly 😦
for me its ok now but
there are so many peoplle who cant afford it
every month
but its ok only mature players will play the game 😄

Its their decision in the end. This channel is not meant to discuss Intrepids choices. You can always head over to #aoc-discussion and debate the topic there if you want.

Not even near that part in development my friend
@heady quartz you should see combat and PVP testing in alpha-1 Q4 this year
tawdry scaffold
not so much with enchanting. But they have described legendaries.
https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Weapons
A legendary weapon is easily distinguished by its visual appearance.
It will be a very ornate and detailed weapon, more so than any other weapon or piece of equipment in the game. It will also include some, some awesome looking effects that won't too gaudy, you know they won't be too bright and shiny so that it doesn't look good, but they will be subtle and people will notice it and know wow that guy has this weapon.

heady current
Hi guys! I just found out about Ashes the day before they did the panel at PAX EAST - in which I was able to attend 😁. I feel like I am so behind and not sure where to start to uncover what’s going on so far into the creation of this game. I was able to meet Steven Sharif in person and play the game with one of the devs at EAST which really cemented this game for me. Coming off of an 8ish year love affair with WoW I’ve been looking for something to fill the hole left behind almost 2 years ago after quitting and I think I found it - but I feel like I’m missing a chunk of info since I wasn’t here when this started. What I know - I just joined Discord today (and not sure where to start here 😱) and have been listening to From the Ashes Podcast and attended the PAX EAST panel. That’s the extent of my knowledge 😭. Where is a good beginning point to start from to fully understand where this game started and how it’s evolved up until now? Im sorry this post is so long but I’m so excited I found this game that I cried during the panel hearing how passionate Steven and the other devs were and seeing something come to life that I feel I lost 2 years ago. I want to fully understand the very 1st day up until right now and don’t want to miss anything! Any links, suggestions etc would be great! Again sorry for such a long post 😖
dark jungle
@heady current check out the info in #faq and also #community-links. There are a lot of helpful resources there. Also don't be afraid to join #aoc-discussion and get some info there.

How will Dmg work
Will it be on hit or will hit no matter what?
zenith jackal
as you will be able to choose between certain tab target abilities and certain action combat abilitiesi imagine certain things can miss
proven arrow
There will be standard dodge, hit, and miss mechanics. Like in every mmo.
digital topaz
Uh missing in WoW is highly different than missing in BDO.
proven arrow
Not really
digital topaz
???
proven arrow
There's evasion builds in bdo where even if you take a direct hit you can get an evasion roll.
There will be the same in aoc.
If you're dodge chance is high, you can avoid an attack that was aimed at you. Tab target or action it still rolls hit chance vs your evade chance.
Nearly all mmos do it that way including bdo and other action combat games.
empty fjord
If I'm not mistaken there will be collision. You can put up walls to block off attacks.
proven arrow
Sure that's different but That's not much different from gw2. But if you throw an ability at someone whether it hits them or not regardless of it being a skill shot or tab target it's going to roll for your dodge chance vs their hit chance.
crystal beacon
Sorry if has been asked before, my question is about nodes: as they level up and goes down, are they always the same? I mean: the node "alpha" reach tier 5 and unlock certain content, than he get sieged and destroyed and go back to Tier 1. Once the node level up again to tier 5 the content it unlock is the same as before, or does it change? Thankyou
covert plank
QUESTION: How will a Warlock be different visual and game mechanic wise compared to the other mage classes.
remote axle
@crystal beacon It can change depending on various factors, such as the seasons, if its winter, underwater caves might be frozen etc. Also, Intrepid has said they will continue adding new questlines after launch and tie it to certain Node Levels, so if you have leveled a Node from 1 to 5 and it gets sieged back to Level 1, you might see brand new quests at certain levels.
cosmic shell
Will there be a limit to referral code benefits?, i could see it get a little rediculas if a streamer gets a crap ton of people with thier referral code. I know nothing is P2W or anything like that so it shouldnt really matter just wondering is all
dry flower
no limit afaik, he would just be able to buy everything in the cash shop for free, which is all untradeable/ungiftable anyway so no benefit beyond getting to play for free and a ton of free cosmetics
cosmic shell
I guess i would have liked to see it cap off when it pays for your subscription but as i said it really doesnt matter to much because no P2W
stable plover
@crystal beacon A node that has leveled, deleveled, and then releveled can change if a different race invested most of the xp going into the node the second time around, I don't think we know if the node type (religious/economic/etc) can change after being brought down all the way, things like the mobs populating the dungeons around the node could change - those are also effected by nearby nodes, and you could have a situation where say there are different city nodes attached to your releveled metropolis than before, the player government could also make different decisions the second time around like having a temple to a different deity
rain spindle
Will smithy be a subclass i just want to confirm
deft axle
Still a lot we don't know about the crafting skills. I believe Blacksmith would be the overall, but you can then specialize in Weaponsmithing or Armorsmithing

@rain spindle We will have Weaponsmiths and Armorsmiths as subclasses of the Crafting Artisan Tree

What about ships creation ? I want this to be a real profession 🙄
remote axle
@loud seal It might, Steven has said since the game has ships and Naval content, he wants there to be some Ship stuff within the Artisan Classes
dark jungle
Yep ship crafting has been confirmed
loud seal
Ok ty, since you seems to know more about ships than me, do we know if they will be sumoneable from everywhere like AA or we need to go to a stable and if we get rekt 1 time it's over we have to swing to harbour and them wait 30m before go again ?
That would be ruining naval combats if we fail once and then it's over

Will there be content creation competitions? Such as player submitted quests, creatures, items, or npcs that then will be chosen by the developement team to be added to the game? And the creator gets a prize?

@blazing fog Nothing has been mentioned yet from Intrepid. But it is something that is perfectly doable from the Devs side, so maybe if more people show interest to Steven and his crew they might be more inclined to have such a competition in the future

@abstract oxide This section of Discord is more for questions about the game. If you have cool features and feedback, I think it would be better to make a forum thread on the official forum and see if you can get others on board.

Hello, I would like to know if the game would be available in the Spanish language
ruby swift
@civic jewel Not at release, they have said that they will look at localization for any market that has a large enough playerbase for them to justify the expense after launch. We do have some active Spanish speakers here and on the forums, just need to turn those people into a large group of subscribers, and then you will get your habla.
@open sierra The livestream draws are usually done from the twitch chat channel and are done live, so if you want to take a chance, make sure to be on when they broadcast next.
open sierra
so the drawing is trough chat too ?
civic jewel
It's sad, because the game is fantastic and I think it would be a unique experience to be able to enjoy it from the beginning and not have to wait for a translation, in case someday they do it.
Being Spanish one of the 3 most spoken languages in the world, they close the doors to a large part of the market.

but how they will send the key where i must type my email for example
how they will contact me in 2 words i am curious sorry but i am new in this things and sorry for english its not my native language

@zenith jackal yes, There are currently 64 classes with subtly different skills, Each Main class, like a Tank for instance, can Augment his Primary skills with 4 different choices. A Secondary Class, Religious Augments, Racial Augments and Social Augments from a Thieves Guild or similar.
So you can essentially have a multitude of choices when it comes down to the difference in your skill set
hasty moss
I remember hearing in a live stream during KS month that there would be a finite number of freeholds depending on the city level. Has it been said how ownership of these freeholds will be given out?
remote axle
@hasty moss I think its mostly first come first serve.. As soon as a Node hits Level 3, you can place a Freehold within the Nodes Zone of Influence... This Zone will increase at level 4 and level 5, giving players more room for additional Freeholds.
hasty moss
Ok, thank you, that being said...i assume almost everyone will want to have a place to do their work, whether it be a forge or a farm, how is that going to work with the finite number of freeholds?

@hasty moss This has not been confirmed, but I will assume that there will be crafting stations within a Node that players can opt to use. The Freehold just gives players their own space where they are closer to their bank.
hasty moss
Thank you! Figured it hadn't been talked about yet and I would assume they just have a big community area in the city like most MMOs for that sort of stuff
And I would imagine it would be pretty hard to be the first person to get a freehold down out of potentially thousands of other people wanting to do the same in a tier 3 node haha

Its gonna be a race for the best spots, but remember, the world is huge and Steven has said there will be plenty of room for lots of Freeholds even at Level 3

Salutations all, I noticed that the Pre-Order Packs will rotate (monthly?). Would April 30 be the last day (midnight?) be the final moment to pull the trigger on that beautiful mount? Also, I'm not sure if I used someone else's referral link properly. Can I go somewhere to make sure it's working before I make the purchase? Thanks so much for your time ❤
hexed sluice
Nice find on the factoid. I must have glossed over that specific since there's just so many emojis. Scrolling up even more I also got a glimpse of the former bundles so that's a nice comparison to have. Sad to hear that the referral function doesn't exist. I was actually attempting to get your link to work 'ref/jahlon' heh.

How will politics work
oblique ledge
And will there be navel battles
And will there be town's with more houses than others?
spring fractal
Amount of housing depends on the level of the node. Naval battles are a strong possibility because there will be ships and boats that you can have, so I dont see why not
azure vector
@oblique ledge each node type will have a different system for politics and government types. Economic node = highest bidder for mayor. Religious node = some form of questing not much is known. Scientific node = democratic voting. Military node = best fighter, a series of arena battles I guess. I hope this kinda answers your question :p
crystal beacon
@brittle ferry I don’t think unarmed will be a thing.
It’d ruin the point of finding weapons
brittle ferry
@crystal beacon fighter is a very broad term, I expect it would have been done like that on purpose. And to the ruin the point in finding weapons, is a little weak. I could look for swords all day, and find nothing but daggers and bows.
UA itself doesn't have to be a thing but UA weapons would be awesomeness

All "alliances" will be player formed and not predetermined by the game.
Unless the node that you have claimed citizenship to is under siege. Then you will automatically be allied with the other citizens of the same node to defend it.

Reason is a soft cap gives people who have all the time to play a huge advantage
hushed haven
yeah, people who play should progress faster
im guessing thats not the reason though
echo oyster
I mean. There reason they do it is so they can Balance the game around level cap strength. Have you played bdo?
crystal beacon
<@&257269635559194625> Maybe you already answered this but.... How will you make sure that guild don't make agreements and preserve certain nodes from being destroyed? creating a monopoly? I heard that there are rewards for destroying nodes, but this won't help if the strongest guilds in the game are defending
proven arrow
The longer a node stays in power the better the rewards get for sieging. Also the longer the node is in power the more hidden events will unlock. Maybe if node A stays up for 1 year. A giant walks out of the sea and levels the city if you can't figure out how to beat him... just a random idea but that's kinda what they are going for in terms of incentivising the deleveling of an existing node.
crystal beacon
still... if they do realise and work together it could be a huge issue. Any way to address this? it could make the game stale
zenith jackal
Since guilds will have a cap, and anyone can join in on a siege I don't see it being the impossible task to siege you are making it out to be. As well wouldn't another rival guild want in on part of the spoils
crystal beacon
there wouldn't be rival guilds powerful enough, i'm just making up a scenario that could actually happen
zenith jackal
I dont want this discussion to get too long as its in questions, but what i am saying is multiple guilds can siege at the same time, so lets say 300 v 100, the 100 will most likely lose
proven arrow
except there's gonna be caps on attackers and defenders for sieges
zenith jackal
yea but my point was just that it will be able to siege a strong metropolis
fresh heart
I don't really see there being a guild that everyone else on the server could not defeat.
If the server is stale or stagnant, there will be a large enough rally of people not in the guild to de-level the node.
I haven't heard about caps on attackers for sieges.
If you have a quote for that, please share.
spring fractal
Im sure at one point, people might just fight eachother for benefits, fun, and change
digital yacht
Yea steven stated the longer a Metro(or any node) is active the greater the rewards u get from asuccesfully attacknig it
zenith jackal
and besides if there is a really strong guild, gives a challenge to sieging it
proven arrow
Idk where the source is but steven said there will be caps on the amount of people who can attend a siege on both attacking and defending. The cap will be the same regardless of attacking or defending. There will also be a cap on lives per attacking team/defending team.
So likely 150-300 per team. Imo
old sand
So if i want the sige to fail i can just join the attacking team and die on purpose? Useing the lives up
digital topaz
^ Also guild caps were estimated to be at around 250-300 so having a cap like that for a siege wouldn't make sense.

The defending guild or attacking guild has to approve you to join

Anyone can join a node siege. Castle siege mechanics are different. Steven went into who can join in as attackers and defenders in the latest Aggelos stream from the other day.

They will most likely not do anything against a group of guilds protecting a specific node.

What are the penalties for death in ashes?
edgy condor
When corrupt you get experience debt, but never de-leveling.
dry flower
negative experience happens upon death to all players, corrupt or not
corrupt players just accrue 3 to 4 times more than those that are not corrupt
zenith heron
That says that if a combatant dies they suffer the same penalties but at half the rate as a non combatant. So if im a non combatant in the world and die to a random mob im penalized for not being a combatant? @dry flower
dry flower
yes
it's to encourage everyone to participate in open world pvp
without forcing their hand
tender flare
Its not really encouraging people to pvp
its preventing pvpers who might get killed more from taking negative losses more than say a non pvper
spring fractal
It encourages pvp by making people who dont want to lose a lot of stuff pvp
tender flare
but if that were the case it would have to be like 3 times the penalty. because if i never pvp, it should be unlikely for me to just randomly die in the world

It is 4 times the penalty, unless that info changed

half = 2 times...

@loud seal A warship skin should fit any "Warship" but that doesn't mean it would fit a "Battleship", "Galleon", "Corsair" etc - in talking about the mount skins Steven has mentioned that the skin will use the stats for whatever mount you apply it to, so all say "White Runic Steed" (skins) may not go the same speed (depending on what it's applied to) - the same might apply to the ships

cold birch
<@&257269635559194625> I'm not sure you see these or not, but after watching the dev panel at PAX I wished I could have queued up to ask a question regarding the proposed class system. You have suggested that all classes can be all roles, which is nice and interesting. One concern I have which I have seen a plethora of other MMOs fall in to is class homogony. All roles end up seeming like reskinned versions of each other and you lose a sense in which someone becomes specialised at doing certain things. How will that be avoided?

@dapper solstice Steven has confirmed they are looking at implementing a Mentor program that will do something of the same effect you are looking for.

proven arrow
@cold birch every class can't be every role. The 64 class combinations are more like 64 possible flavors of an archetype. There are 8 classes with 8 alternatives as options. You can either double down or get a few additional effects added to some skills. So a Tank/Tank would be like a Protection Warrior archetype, where a Tank/Cleric would be closer to a Protection Paladin archetype from WoW as an example. Additionally a Rogue/Cleric wouldn't really be a Rogue that can be completely self sufficient it would be more like a Rogue that has a couple abilities that heal itself and abilities that might leech or deal a divine damage type.
