I was sent here by DarkScarletMage. I had a couple of questions as a potential backer. I was doing some research and saw a thread on mmorpg.com that talked about intrepid saying we would get refunded if the game didn't launch but that wording was only present on kickstarter. so does it not apply yo backers after kickstarter ended

#

i found it here https://forums.mmorpg.com/discussion/474535/does-the-promise-of-a-full-refund-extend-to-backers-outside-of-kickstarter

Does the promise of a full refund extend to backers outside of Kic...

From the Kickstarter page we can see that Intrepid Studios has made a public promise to refund all backers in full if the game does not launch.

dark jungle Jun 26, 2018, 9:31 PM

#

@oblique magnet the opportunity to back the game via kickstarter or other crowdfunding ended last year. There will be no further crowdfunding for Ashes of Creation. However you can show support for the game by purchasing cosmetic pre-order packs from the cosmetic store https://ashesofcreation.com/shop/

oblique magnet Jun 26, 2018, 9:32 PM

#

so does that mean we wont get refunds for backing after kickstarter or rather for pre-order @dark jungle

#

if the game doesn't launch of course

proven arrow Jun 26, 2018, 9:37 PM

#

Pretty sure that offer was only for KS backers.

#

Since that is part of the kickstarter terms of use.

#

If you have any scepticism I suggest waiting until the game is launched as it's only $15 a month. Most backing at the moment should be treated as a donation with benefits. A lot of this game is faith that IS will deliver. Kinda like if you donate cancer research you wouldn't get a refund if they don't cure cancer.

oblique magnet Jun 26, 2018, 9:41 PM

#

ok so if i back and the game doesn't come out for some reason

#

that's that

#

@proven arrow I don't think it can be likened to cancer research

Is it determined on character creations on exotic iris colors like red for a race like elves or something? 😮

dim ruin Jun 26, 2018, 9:58 PM

#

That’s something that could be in character creation, but there hasn’t been a ton of info released about it yet

proven arrow Jun 26, 2018, 9:58 PM

#

That much isn't known except character creation will rival BDO so I expect that iris won't be race locked

We know there will be cosmetic items that can change your eye color but as to which colors that wasn't specified.

Will guilds/groups be able to send out a fast travel offer?

From what we've heard the answer is no.

stable plover Jun 27, 2018, 1:48 AM

#

Date/time isn't announced yet

fair yew Jun 27, 2018, 2:31 AM

#

The only fast travel that has been confirmed that comes to memory is that of the science based metropolis. outside of that Steven have said in recent streams that there could be a possibility of some type of flight path or caravan system to ride along on to get from one place to another but they haven't diverged many details and it seems to be something that is on the list of possible. The game is very big on the environment being a player and being able to interact with it so understandably they want to limit the walk away from keyboard to travel or the instaport avoiding everything in between @jagged laurel

jagged laurel Jun 27, 2018, 2:33 AM

#

So guildies will have to log in and walk to a dungeon an hour before raid time?

fair yew Jun 27, 2018, 2:36 AM

#

Unfortunately there hasn't been much talk about summons or things like that when it comes to raids. My guess would be due to guilds primarily being citizens of a particular node and doing most of their operations in and around that node aside from far flung trading or resource gathering or sieges of other nodes. The dungeons in AoC aren't exactly typical of other MMOs in that they will change over time and can be in different locations based on node activity

tulip hatch Jun 27, 2018, 2:38 AM

#

You will have to prepare for travel ahead of time so planning ahead is important - as arodicus said actual fast travel will be limited to scientific nodes
there will be "faster travel" and afk traveling methods
they dont want to shrink the world or make it irrelevant by implementing too much fast travel

fair yew Jun 27, 2018, 2:41 AM

Any idea on when the next blog is expected to be posted?

😦 I really like those especially the last entry. Hopefully it won't be too much longer since it has been about 4 months. I also remember Steven saying something about an upcoming blog post in one of the last two streams and being interested in it but I can't remember what he was talking about lol

stable plover Jun 27, 2018, 3:25 AM

#

@fair yew "We have accrued a few blogs that will be released on a regular schedule that have some good info." from http://www.aocwiki.net/TheoryForge_Episode_15:_A_Night_With_Steven_Sharif is probably the interesting recent quote about blogs

And a more serious question, how many official servers will most likely the year after launch.

ruby swift Jun 27, 2018, 8:24 AM

#

Concurrent population targets have been stated at 8-10k. So if there are 100k people with subs...10. A million....100. Nobody knows.

empty fjord Jun 27, 2018, 9:01 AM

#

spawning new servers on demand will probably be the least of the difficulties post launch

autumn niche Jun 27, 2018, 9:07 AM

#

does anyone know when will the info about the other classes? ThinkingStevenMan

analog bay Jun 27, 2018, 9:08 AM

#

I believe it was stated around Alpha 1 Phase 2 we will know more about the other 4 classes.

autumn niche Jun 27, 2018, 9:29 AM

#

The main thing that was not such that with epic bosses will not fall a drop of SAP classes ,as in many games

#

And another very important question, will there be protection from clickers ?because as we all know, all players are not followed

ruby swift Jun 27, 2018, 12:35 PM

#

Umm...I'm going to take a stab at this one since Google translate may have struggled. If you mean are there anti-bot measures planned, then yes, they have extensive systems in place to monitor play.

nocturne pivot Jun 27, 2018, 2:47 PM

#

@autumn niche as Unknown already said they have extensive monitoring tools. These will actually 'follow' each player and notify staff if necessary. Intrepid stated that they expect that it will be a strong system because it's being built with the game instead of added later in. They also reached out to external experts to help them implement this so long story short yes there is a system against clickers 😉

autumn niche Jun 27, 2018, 2:52 PM

@nocturne pivot if what you're saying is true, that's good.

@idle siren Could we ever expect map merch? Like a super huge map of Verra similar to say the skyrim canvas map? I'm not sure if we know if node progression will change geography at a region map level, but I think there would be plenty of interest in a map of the world that we come to know at the beginning.

vast crescent Jun 28, 2018, 12:56 PM

I asked this in forums and also asked in live stream (which wasn't picked for answering) a few months back, but has anyone heard more on the combat side, as far as if there will be Skill chaining?

Here's the question i asked in forums: "QUESTION: Regarding primary skills that are augmented, will there be any type of Skill Chain implementation?
For example, Two class skills activated on same mob varying augments give bonus damage or cause additional elemental damage."

That doesn't describe much i know. So ill explain better. I know they have talked about "attack chains" dependent upon timing skills, to me this is similar to Skill combos from a single individual based on timing. My question is relative to 2 or more party/raid members that, lets say, completes an "attack chain" on the same mob that when the final attack of each of their chains land causes a "Skill Chain" bonus damage. Does that make sense or too confusing?

dim ruin Jun 28, 2018, 1:58 PM

#

Personally I’m not sure if they have confirmed attack chains, but the current silence form the studio is because they are grinding out most of the combat mechanics. We might see some of this in the next livestream

empty fjord Jun 28, 2018, 2:14 PM

#

Probably won't see much of that until Alpha 1 either phase 1 or 2 depending on what they want tested during sieges

ember shell Jun 28, 2018, 3:29 PM

#

Did i see somewhere that kickstarter backers or testers get access to at release servers 2 days early (but without nodes)?

tulip hatch Jun 28, 2018, 3:31 PM

Ks backers that bought certain tier pledges can have 1 or 2 days headstart the nodes will not be active until live launch

#

Will the nodes be all the same in alpha/beta and live?

#

I mean positioning for example

tulip hatch Jun 28, 2018, 3:52 PM

#

Nodes are the same however it depends on the players themselves on how they develop

stable plover Jun 28, 2018, 3:52 PM

#

@vast crescent "Can players compound skills from two different players, playing off each other?
Yes, skills from different classes will have synergy. They will also have combination effects as well. .... .... If I a ranger / mage could have a frost charge bolt - bolt might freeze for a period of time and slow speed with a debuff. If a wizard applies nuke on target and nuke is frost based nuke those two stacking elements might then either further slow or freeze the target in place. Build ups happen where two separate skills cause an ancillary effect when combined."

tulip hatch Jun 28, 2018, 3:54 PM

#

I misread-didnt see the alpha/beta live comparison somehow..since alpha and betas will change as things develop i doubt they will resemble the finished model in live. Live server node locations will be the same for other live servers however stated in this quote resource locations may vary.

stable plover Jun 29, 2018, 4:20 PM

@acoustic nest so you can upgrade from Voyager to Intrepid by paying the difference, you'd keep the cosmetics that originally came with your voyager and only get the top teir cosmetics for this month from the Intrepid pack (and have the ability to pick up others as an addon) - if you really wanted to have all cosmetics from this month (without getting addons) you'd have to try filling out a support ticket on Intrepids website (red/orange Support gem in bottom right of https://www.ashesofcreation.com/) -- but the support tickets usually have a 1-2 week wait time which could be after the next time cosmetics rotate (in 3 days) - I'm not sure how pending support tickets get handled

Will items have notes attached to them? So for instance if I have a sword that got the last hit on a world boss I’d add to the notes 'slayer of (insert world boss)' and then when I sell that sword, which is inevitable, whoever buys it can see the history of that sword

I know that Stevan hasn’t mentioned anything to suggest that the answer is yes, but it seems like it would fit into his vision

Server history being tracked has been spoken about however individual item history has not come up- perhaps you can bring it up next livestream

personally i find it an interesting concept- and to add on to your idea -since items have a limited durability i believe keeping a weapon with a significant role in the server history could perhaps later be made into a trophy to commemorate the occasion. but alas thats my personal twist

Do we need to outlay more cash on top of our subscription to get Embers.
What other methods in game could we get Embers.
Is there a cap on the number of Embers your account can hold.
Can we exchange in game gold to purchase Embers.

vestal knot Jun 30, 2018, 5:08 AM

#

I’m pretty sure it was confirmed that when someone refers you and you get 15% of all money they spend going towards your subscription, and if that exceeds your subscription then it converts to embers

fair yew Jun 30, 2018, 6:00 AM

#

With the referral system you get 15% of whatever they spend money on and this can be used in the shop, towards your own sub, or paid out as a check quarterly

#

As for embers to answer some of your questions. I am pretty sure there will not be any added monthly from your subscription these will be things you purchase. You will not be able to buy gold with them. It is unknown if you will be able to earn any through in game activity (achievements etc)

#

@royal ice

#

Not sure about buying embers with gold either

#

The first time i read it i thought it was canwe buy gold with embers 😅

#

My assumption though would be that embers are only attainable by purchasing them either out right or with your referral earnings

royal ice Jun 30, 2018, 6:05 AM

#

So we still dont know. My concern is we are paying a sub and expected to buy embers to purchase some cosmetic item. Are we not paying a premium already.

fair yew Jun 30, 2018, 6:08 AM

#

The servers do cost to maintain and content to be created also cost money so you are oaying for something

#

Most games have additional digital content that you pay for be it skins dyes auras mounts etc

#

AoC will be ever evolving and the additional $ for buying embers / addon skins from the shop help to pave the way for additional content (which I might add they arent charging any box prices so any expacs will be just like launch pay your sub and play)

boreal abyss Jun 30, 2018, 7:59 AM

#

@royal ice There are cosmetics that can be gotten in game
No one is forcing you to buy all the shop items as well

Then:
Q:Will we get rewarded Embers per month as part of our subscription.
A: Have not heard them say this so far, so no?
Q: Will we get Embers by completing achievements in game.
A: Have not heard them say this so far, so no?
Q: Do we need to outlay more cash on top of our subscription to get Embers.
A: From the information we have so far, yes.
With the exception if you have referals playing the game as 15% of what they spend you get to (Use on your sub)/(Convert to Ember)/(Get paid out quaterly)
Q: What other methods in game could we get Embers.
A: Only heard of buying, nothing else mentioned.
Q: Is there a cap on the number of Embers your account can hold.
A: Have heard nothing of a limit.
Q: Can we exchange in game gold to purchase Embers.
A: Doubt it

I must play the game with a subscription, in order to receive cashback rewards from the referral system. There is no requirement for an account holder to participate in the game to use our referral system.
I will immediately receive money as I gain paying referrals. There is a fulfillment period on the 15% you receive from each referral, this helps us deal with fraud and international laws. This period will usually be about 30 days.
This is a scam, a pyramid scheme! Yikes! Our referral program rewards you for bringing in customers of our product Ashes of Creation, similar to a simple affiliate program, like Amazon. Furthermore, it requires no investment on the part of the referrer to participate. Also, there is no upward flow of rewards. It is quite literally the opposite of a pyramid.

from what i know you can't buy a house until you become a citizen

pine estuary Jun 30, 2018, 11:03 AM

#

but this says otherwise

#

Players may own up to one of each type of housing.
This housing may be located in one node or multiple nodes.
Owning housing in a node grants the player the ability to claim citizenship in that node.
Players may only be citizens of one node at a time. Citizenship can be changed after a cooldown period.
Player housing can be destroyed as the result of a node siege. Housing decorations and designs will be saved and can be placed again in the future

"Your home doesn't give you citizenship; it gives you the ability to choose it as a citizenship. You could claim citizenship where you wanted citizenship or change to another apartment in another node."

pine estuary Jun 30, 2018, 11:15 AM

#

thanks a lot, I just wanted to confirm it

silent lantern Jun 30, 2018, 11:45 AM

#

So we can basically have as many apartments as we want provided that they are in different nodes.

pine estuary Jun 30, 2018, 11:56 AM

#

i think not

#

we can only have 3 types of houses but they can be in any node

manic cedar Jun 30, 2018, 11:58 AM

#

And they are also depended from yours and nodes and other players decisions

#

resources

boreal abyss Jun 30, 2018, 2:19 PM

#

Housing:
1 x Freehold per Account
1 x In Node housing Per Account
1 x Apartment per Character
I think that is how it was divided

#

Also, can only get citizenship in a Node where you have Housing.
Meaning that Node Leaders will want to build Apartment complex's to increase the number of possible Citizens of that node.

empty fjord Jun 30, 2018, 2:29 PM

#

I hope there will be really sizable, maybe even 2 story apartments in a city

subtle temple Jun 30, 2018, 2:37 PM

#

I suspect the size of the apartments may be dictated by the level of the node. That is speculation though.

ruby swift Jun 30, 2018, 2:39 PM

#

Something I posted on forums when this question came up.

#

So this needs some clarification as it seems to confuse many people. You can have one Freehold account wide. You can own multiple instanced apartments and in city node houses. Before everyone freaks out, read the examples to explain this more clearly. You have your main character Bob. Bob is a citizen of Happy Valley. At node level 3 Bob can place a freehold. He can also buy an in city house in Happy Valley. At level 4 the mayor decides to build instanced apartments. Bob can buy one of those too. Now you have your alt Totorro. Totorro can use the freehold, house, and apartment that Bob placed or purchased without restrictions. If Totorro is a citizen of Happy Valley he can also purchase an in city house (if available) and an instanced apartment (always available). Totorro cannot place another freehold (1 per account). Totorro doesn't like Happy Valley and he moves several nodes over to Shady Brook and becomes a citizen there. He can now purchase an in city house and an instanced apartment if Totorro is so inclined. He still has access to the Freehold, and Bobs other two structures if he decides to jaunt back to Happy Valley. Bob if he decides to visit Shady Brook can utilize Totorros structures. Is there a risk that Bob may not be welcome as a citizen of Happy Valley in Shady Brook? Possibly. Which will make sneaking into Totorros houses even more fun. Now multiply that times the number of alts that you are able to create, and that is how many houses you could possibly own. Realize that taxes are due on all properties and are likely to be significant, especially for the first few years of the game. Plus the nightmare of trying to decorate, maintain, and keep track of all the various stuff will lead people to have fewer houses vs more.
This is a good reference for various housing quotes and information. I will also link the Discord quotebin which also has a whole section on housing.

@boreal abyss so what if I play on two different servers?

boreal abyss Jun 30, 2018, 5:59 PM

#

Unrelated to eachother, each server has its own limit

loud seal Jun 30, 2018, 6:52 PM

and will diferents servers have same AH ? i dont think since it will be already nodes restricted

boreal abyss Jun 30, 2018, 6:56 PM

No they will not
Not even regular servers will have a worldwide AH

normal loom Jun 30, 2018, 6:56 PM

You mean like an Action House? If that is what you are asking about. I think Steven had said that they wont be connected even on the same server.

boreal abyss Jun 30, 2018, 6:57 PM

#

Only when there is a Stage 6 Commerce Node, and that will only cover the nodes within its ZOI

loud seal Jun 30, 2018, 6:57 PM

for exemple Archeage AH have 3 servers on each one

#

but it's a dead game imawesome

boreal abyss Jun 30, 2018, 6:58 PM

#

Global AH is not a thing in Ashes

#

Hence server shared AH will def not be a thing 😛

tulip hatch Jun 30, 2018, 7:00 PM

#

Markets are regional in ashes - they will differ from zone to zone within its own server
no server shared AH and no server wide AH will be in game
As ziltch said in only an Economic Metropolis will have a connected marketplace however it will only be connected to the nodes/cities within its Zone of influence.

<@&257269635559194625> On a whim today i went back in time and took a peek at the original kickstarter page. There are posts from people requesting an update ON THAT PAGE.Is this something someone is looking at?

stable plover Jul 1, 2018, 1:34 AM

#

@crisp onyx Intrepid is at least aware that it's an issue - Their last update has "If you have not had an opportunity to subscribe or register to our social media, I highly advise you do so, in order to stay in touch with all of our updates and announcements!" and links to them, and people from the community keep commenting in response to ppl to tell them to come to discord -- I think the issue is some people funded AoC on KS because they fund a lot of things on KS and don't care so much about actually following the game as following their KS funding

fair yew Jul 1, 2018, 3:29 AM

#

AH is going to be pretty much the same as how it is in Albion Online. it will be a regional market. Which is awesome for a trading guild, setting up trade caravans, buying goods in one node and selling them in another

viral totem Jul 1, 2018, 11:12 AM

#

Q: Since the combat is gonna be a hybrid between action and tab targeting will we be able to hit things in front of us without targeting them using melee weapons like how it works in GW2? two players can stand in front of each other in melee range without actually targeting each other, press an attack and both deal damage? (Or will you only have the option to attack if someone is targeting first, like you can't even swing your sword without something targeted?)

ocean forum Jul 1, 2018, 11:13 AM

#

oh that´s an interesting one! I´d love to know that as well!

dusk wadi Jul 1, 2018, 11:27 AM

#

The whole combat system and how the mix of action and tab targeting will work is still a wip so I doubt anyone knows the answer to that. I guess all we can do is wait and see.

vestal knot Jul 1, 2018, 11:29 AM

#

Perhaps we'll be able to see how it works next livestream, if they’ve finished work on the prototype hybrid

dusk wadi Jul 1, 2018, 11:31 AM

#

I thought they're just working on perfecting the tab targeting rn and after that they work on the action system. And when both work perfectly they try to find the best balance between both. Or is that info out of date?

tulip hatch Jul 1, 2018, 11:40 AM

#

That is the most recent info we have on the combat they should be (if they aren't already)working on the action portion soon

#

will there be a flying mount?

vestal knot Jul 2, 2018, 8:34 AM

#

A: Only five, and they aren’t technically mounts, if you are the lord of a castle you get a flying dragon as your mount, but it can’t be bred and you lose it as soon as your castle is taken

#

So I assume that the griffin skin would be applied to a mount that can’t fly and it would remain grounded

empty fjord Jul 2, 2018, 8:40 AM

#

mounts with wings aren't necessarily grounded, but are more of a gliding type, like a glider/winged mount in archeage

vestal knot Jul 2, 2018, 8:42 AM

#

Gliding mounts would certainly add for a cool journey while not removing the scenery

ruby swift Jul 2, 2018, 10:27 AM

#

@noble locust @vestal knot Actually the number is 10 flying mounts (may not be a dragon in some cases.) 5 metropolis leaders get one if they build the Royal Stable that allows them to access that mount. The 5 pvp objective castles come with a Royal Stable built. And yes, you do not keep the mount. Once you lose control of the castle, or are removed from node office, you lose access and the next person gets access. In the case of metros, if they were deleveled to say level 5 through a siege, the Royal Stables would vanish, and access to the mount. There will also be limited life egg drops that give access to flying mounts. These are said to be extremely rare and will have a lifespan under one month. They have released quite a bit of information about flying and gliding. I will link the quotebin which has lots of good information, but is not the only source. The various interviews and livestreams also have sparkling information gems for you to find. https://forums.ashesofcreation.com/discussion/10158/quotebin-quotes-of-intrepid-team-from-discord/p1

Hello everyone! Here is something that's been bugging me about AOC. I've heard that there is going to be teddy bear mounts, cars and attack chopper mounts and whatnot in the game. The likes of which you can find in Terra for example. I was wondering how much truth there is to it? And how important it is for the devs to keep the immersion? Thanks!

Hi there, sorry if this question has already been asked but I actually wanted to ask a question about races and lore.
Essentially I was curious to know about what races have been planned for release and whether or not there would be any sub races per faction?
I was also wondering if with regards to the lore, whether the game will give you a story of the race that you are playing (Sort of a bit like WoW starting zones) or whether it would allow you to explore the world and discover lore dynamically (Kind of like ESO). Personally, one thing I have always hoped for is a way for the history of a race to be discovered through actual exploration. There is nothing more awesome than games like God of War, or Mass effect, that allow you to stumble upon a room by accident or a cave that has detailed secrets and hidden history of the race in question.
Either way sorry for the long question, look forward to seeing more of your progress!

tulip hatch Jul 3, 2018, 10:09 PM

#

These are the races excluding the Tulnar which are the under realm race

📎 Race_Chart.png

#

a lot of the lore will be hidden behind exploration of the world
so your cave example is pretty spot on

#

I recommend checking out the #community-links channel - there are a lot of sites with information compiled regarding AoC

crisp agate Jul 3, 2018, 10:15 PM

#

It has been said that we're going to be getting some pre-release writeups on the races to sort-of give us the lore of what our characters would know coming into the world. That's said to include things such as naming conventions. But a lot of the lore will be stuff we have to discover ourselves, some of that being rediscovering the land of our ancestors — as the entire world we're coming into passed into the realm of legend because we've been away from it for thousands and thousands of years and our character's ancestors had to build up from a dark age where they lost a lot of their knowledge.

There also aren't races split up over factions. @crystal beacon

So, I'm checking back in after a few months to see if there has been any mention of RP features in the game.

As an avid RPer in WoW I've gotta say some of the most fun I have is from the atmosphere of people just being characters that live and work and walk about in the world, so what sort of features/protections will there be for RPers?

Will there be ways for RPers to be separate from the people who aren't in-character, to prevent immersion-breaking? I'm all for fun and games but it's difficult to get immersed when Pwnslayer69 is running around the place, leaping off of the mailboxes.
Will there be rules against people griefing RPers? Oftentimes it feels like RPers are ignored by devs, to the point where RP servers can end up being utterly swamped with people who make it their life's goal to ruin other people's fun just because they can.
Will there be proper speech-bubble/emote systems so people can easily see who is talking at any one time?
Will there be a bio system so people can easily pass around character descriptions? As I understand it the Intrepid team are wary of addons (not without good reason) but addons are the bread and butter of RP life, implementing many tools considered to be absolute baseline to RP that most teams never implement into the base game.

I have these and other questions about if and how RP will work in AoC, but I'm just asking the big ones to which I don't have answers to see if they've been answered yet.

<@&257269635559194625> I know combat is just placeholder right now and a little has been stated about what it will eventually maybe be like, but it’s not much to go on.
My question then is: what are the odds we will be getting a good combat system like Vindictus or BDO (yes BDO was a bad game but it had true action combat) or even like PSO2 which gives the option of playing like an action game or you can lock onto targets if you want to, but you’re still using action rather than clicking on a hot bar. I think hot bar cycling combat like you see in GW2 and WoW and most others out there is old, boring and dull. Doesn’t matter how many cool effects you put on it, I’m still having to tab a target and then press keys 1-5 repeatedly as they get off cooldown.

TLDR; I will be sad if the combat system is like GW2 or WoW or FF, etc. can we have rich and immersive action combat instead of hot barring please? 😀

reef prawn Jul 4, 2018, 3:40 PM

In fact BDO combat was far more engaging and never did you have to look at a hot bar for skills. Same with Vindictus, and PSO2 the other examples I gave. Just to clarify my thoughts XD

@dawn fog They've described the character creation as being comparable to BDO's, but say it won't be ready to show off for quite a while

boreal abyss Jul 4, 2018, 4:42 PM

#

Costume part being what shows

#

in case you like the look of one item over another

dawn fog Jul 4, 2018, 4:42 PM

#

Kinda like the Transmutation system in GW2

#

BDO's and BLESS's toon creation I enjoy they drew me in for hours. Still didn't nail it 100% on the head but is good to hear it will be comparable to BDO.

By faith it will be better. 😃

@dawn fog They have talked about server vs server arena teams, (was very speculative when they talked about it), but they talked about it as a periodic competition, teams on a server compete to represent their server, winning team from among servers gets a global buff for people on their server

No corruption makes you weaker

And you drop gear

#

If you die

#

It's bad to have any corruption

stable plover Jul 4, 2018, 5:03 PM

#

Steven's talked about how you can be a 'Villain' without being corrupt - you could for example only be interested in tearing nodes down and avoid helping nodes - or only attacking caravans - and you could still gather resources from the caravan raids as a villain without becoming corrupt

boreal abyss Jul 4, 2018, 5:03 PM

#

Indeed, as long as you dont kill Green (non-combat state) players you wont gain corruption

next hazel Jul 4, 2018, 5:03 PM

@jagged laurel you won't have to buy anything else, but you might want to if they say did something like continue the high teir pack but replace A1 with a copy of the board game or whatever (random example, I have no sign that's the case) (I then assume people with appropriate packages could buy whatever they replace A1 with in those packs as an addon) -- either way you'd already have the A1 access

#

Hi my question is how NPC quest giving is going to work. Will there be a main storyline people follow with fleshed out NPCs and interesting quests, or will they mostly be based on Nodes like generic NPC joins biggest most developed node and gives quests to scout smaller nodes and make trade with them or something

tulip hatch Jul 5, 2018, 2:36 PM

#

AoC will have its quests divided into 3 categories
Event- are things that occur as a result of node developing they can be quests or large world events that can occur multiple times or only once
Tasks - node based objectived that come and go
Epic and legendary Narrative quests - different parts of the story will unlock based on where and when nodes grow
some quests may only be available to some people making them unique and very personal and different experience per player
Story Arcs - a nodes narrative can show up as; Personal,Cultural and regional quests - an example of regional quest is a node grows and a dragon shows up to attack the growing city so now all players must act and defeat the dragon to prevent the city from being destroyed.
-Your race may change what quests your receive and how some npcs interact with you

#

This is only some of the information provided to us regarding quests ~

coarse prairie Jul 5, 2018, 2:40 PM

#

yeah doesn't sound like they'll focus too much on fleshing out NPCs through that description, most interactions are presumably with other players

tulip hatch Jul 5, 2018, 2:45 PM

#

There will be plenty of npcs in all stages of node development
npcs will even react differently to individuals who contribute more to the node and will have players they dislike and like
at one point intrepid stated that some quests will be hidden behind npc dialogue so unless you pick a response that triggers the quest you wont see them
a lot of things are in development if your questions arent answered in any of the wikis feel free to ask a question in the Q&A for the livestream on the 9th

Will character customization be in-depth? For instance, mostly any skin colour (dark elf, orc, etc colours), fine tuning, sliders, etc

The character creator will be extremely in-depth, they said it will be as complex if not more than Black Desert Online's character creation

Would you be able to adjust body proportions widely compared to their defaults? Like giant heads, absurdly wide hips, etc

reef prawn Jul 5, 2018, 2:55 PM

#

Also, according to the information we got, they are currently working with skin shaders that are "next gen" and will "blow our minds"

#

They don't want anything absurd, at least that's what they've said

#

Since immersion is a major factor for the studio

hollow marsh Jul 5, 2018, 2:56 PM

@misty creek They've compared char creation to BDO's, here's a quote that mentions there will be tiny details like scaleable foot hair
"Tell us about character creation. How in depth will we be able to go. Can we have a blue skinned elf?
Elves with blue skin? No. We want there to be a lot of room for people to manifest their own identity to roleplay how they want to from even an appearance standpoint, but there will be parameters from which to customize. The culture and identity of our races will exist within a range that make them identifiable. The spectrum for elves will not involve blue skin. There will be sliding scales for Hair / facial structure / bones / height / width / body fat % / body hair on different parts of the body - hair on feet can be dialed up - female dwarven beards that will not match the male dwarven beard, not as voluminous as the males, braided, but it is some facial hair we want to identify the Dünir with, not the Niküa"

#

@dire roost The way your question is worded I'd go with no? - If you have a KS package you get whatever was included in your KS, and have the ability to order the pre-order cosmetics individually, but don't automatically receive them and can't purchase them once their month is gone

Yo all, i'm trying to find more info about combat but the only thing so far is that it'll be both action and tab targeting, depending on what you like...does anyone know what kind of combat are they aiming for? Similar to which games? Combat is the main thing for me so it can also be a deal breaker

delicate wolf Jul 6, 2018, 6:57 AM

#

So they're working on the combat right now

#

your skills from your sub class will augment your main class abilities

#

depending on class/skill tree you choose, you will be able to use action combat/tab abilities depending on how you set your skills

#

I THINK that's the system they're going for

#

could be wrong but expect to see combat real soon as we inch toward Alpha 1

granite ermine Jul 6, 2018, 7:40 AM

Awesome, thanks

pseudo kraken Jul 6, 2018, 8:20 AM

I understand that the devs are maintaining a no pay to win approach to the game, and I love that. I understand that all items are available from the ingame shop are cosmetic, so these are my questions.

Can cosmetic costumes be sold on the ingame shop, and if so, is the price limited as in BDO?
What is the stance on gold sellers selling vast amounts of gold?
Are marketplace items price limited as in BDO? If not, how does the game plan to counter gold sellers buying 1 carrot for 600,000 gold?
Is there player to player trading? If so, are the developers planning on introducing a detection system to avoid gold sellers?

Closing statement: Archeage could have been great if it kept its cash shop cosmetic, made the cosmetics bound, and rigorously banned and investigated gold sellers.

echo oyster Jul 6, 2018, 8:22 AM

#

No. Cosmetics from cash shop can not be traded

#

Gold selling is forbidden and they are building systems to track it

#

The market place isn’t going to be like bdo

#

Yes there is player to player trading and they have systems to track bad trades

Hi! First of all forgive me if I misspell because english is not my native language.. Will be any form to pay the monthly fee or any part of it with ingame currency? Like WoW for example

proven arrow Jul 6, 2018, 9:44 AM

That is not yet known but probably not as it treads the line of P2W. Might be possible with limitations....

ivory coral Jul 6, 2018, 9:46 AM

Mmmm okay thanks, I will play it even if the game doesnt have it but could be nice to buy discounts with the money earned ingame (not cash shop currency btw)

proven arrow Jul 6, 2018, 9:53 AM

there won´t be invisible walls in ashes right? I´m currently playing gw2 and I´m rlly annoyed by all of them...you always think that you can go there but there´s an invisible barrier you cannot pass

Given that GW2 is a themepark MMO and AoC will be more like a Sandbox. I assume you will have a lot of freedom

stable plover Jul 6, 2018, 12:16 PM

I don't think we've specifically been promised no invisible walls (I'd sort of expect at least a few to exist in regards to flying mounts), but we've seen things like dungeon paths that will let you walk off them and fall to your death instead of being blocked by an invisible wall

No Custom Icons

stable plover Jul 6, 2018, 10:09 PM

No, from the out of game pictures. Intend to have an in depth in game symbol editor that will allow lots of customization. (reasons given) Copyright issues. Breaks immersion.

fair yew Jul 6, 2018, 11:20 PM

#

Did they say 300 was max initial size or max after perks? I remember them saying that you could increase guild size through perks or that was the intention

boreal abyss Jul 6, 2018, 11:25 PM

#

@still wyvern ^ Remove plz

ruby swift Jul 6, 2018, 11:25 PM

#

@fair yew That is correct. The example given was that a guild will have a set amount of points that they can earn. Those points can be spent on various perks. So it you decide to spend points in increasing guild size, you will not have access to the same perks that smaller guilds who focus on other benefits will have.

boreal abyss Jul 6, 2018, 11:25 PM

#

@fair yew Yes, not sure about the specific number but lets say 300 is max size, you can only get max number of members when you have increaed the Guild Size with perks

ruby swift Jul 6, 2018, 11:27 PM

#

We are getting more and more new people daily that dont know that, so posting stuff like that only leads to angst and people possibly not following the game because they see your stuff, dont get the joke, and then wander off to tell others that "ahh, yeah, that game will be just like the rest"

Can we do spearfishing in AOC? I'd love to hunt and sell rare/large fish for a profit.

I'm not entirely sure if they've announced anything about spearfishing, but fishing will be in the game, but I do not believe that they've announced how that will work

Collected fish can be used for potions and food, and maybe unique components. We don’t know the UI for it yet, but we’re gonna try to do something different. It’ll be relaxing, slow-ride, and interesting, but not AFK-able

west solstice Jul 8, 2018, 7:47 PM

#

for example EA games are not allowed to be pre-download/pre-order

ruby swift Jul 8, 2018, 9:41 PM

#

This comes up every couple months. They have mentioned multiple times that it won't ever go to Steam. Last one was someone saying "We will see......." This was the response.

Will purchasable cosmetics be appropriate for the setting of the game?

stable plover Jul 8, 2018, 10:29 PM

#

@river flicker opinions on that vary, you could look at past purchasable cosmetics for an idea; stufferton's is probably the thing most people consider the most controversial cosmetic they've done (They did give a lore explanation that only some are satisfied with) - The PAX cosmetics of colonial clothing stood out to me as being a bit unusual compared to the other art we've seen for the game, but it at least makes sense as a style of clothing that could theoretically exist in universe

Hello, how are the developers going to balance 64 classes in this game?

proven arrow Jul 8, 2018, 10:53 PM

#

they are balancing 8 with 8 flavors

west solstice Jul 8, 2018, 10:53 PM

#

You will select two classes, one as your main and one as your "flavor"

quick question i'm a kickstarter 150 backer that gets me into alpha 2. how do i get into alpha1? full price or upgrade?

west solstice Jul 8, 2018, 10:54 PM

#

You technically can upgrade your pack to the 500$ one, thats 350$ extra

#

Braver of Worlds

eager verge Jul 8, 2018, 10:56 PM

#

yeah makes sense.

proven arrow Jul 8, 2018, 10:58 PM

#

it probably will only last a week or so

#

per phase

eager verge Jul 8, 2018, 10:59 PM

#

well it would be 150+100 so 250

Will there be the "Holy Trinity" in this game?

river flicker Jul 8, 2018, 11:53 PM

#

@stable plover yeah, I like cosmetics, but it is much better when those cosmetics are appropriate for the time period and even better if they can be explained by lore. My biggest thing is when you have like 20th century clothing in a fantasy game and so on. It just breaks the immersion in my opinion

like the old school mmos that had areas you go in to grind mobs, there's bosses that spawn ever so often. Basicly areas with heavily condensed mobs that have higher damage and hp, which you really need a group to farm, or uber gear

Hello, i have a question regarding when we will be able to see new updates on your YouTube channel have not seen any answer to this question 😄 I am pretty hyped for this game that's why i am asking! Have a nice one!

crystal beacon Jul 9, 2018, 1:01 AM

Essentially you go with a group, setup camp and farm

tulip hatch Jul 9, 2018, 1:02 AM

I cant say for certain Dionysius why dont you ask that question for tomorrow's live stream Q&A

#

uh i got a question, is anyone in the chat atm

#

I was wondering if we get corruption for trying to assault a caravan

surreal elk Jul 9, 2018, 1:50 AM

#

U do not @sonic oyster

tulip hatch Jul 9, 2018, 1:51 AM

#

No caravans are designated pvp zones

sonic oyster Jul 9, 2018, 1:51 AM

#

so if im

#

gonna take like

#

some fish from one node to another

#

id do it via a caravan

#

and I could potentially lose that stuff, but at the same time i can also attack someone else who's bringing their caravan near my node

#

yeah?

tulip hatch Jul 9, 2018, 1:51 AM

#

Yes

sonic oyster Jul 9, 2018, 1:51 AM

#

without being at risk of losing my gear or stuff currently in my inventory?

#

but i will lose my caravan content of course right?

tulip hatch Jul 9, 2018, 1:52 AM

#

Correct there is no risk of corruption

sonic oyster Jul 9, 2018, 1:52 AM

#

right on thanks

#

im a pretty pvp focused player

#

so my pvp has to be centered around resources then

#

specifically when they're travelling to my town

#

or when im travelling somewhere else

surreal elk Jul 9, 2018, 1:54 AM

#

Yes, as a pvp player your main source of pvp will be caravan pvp, arena. With a mix of castle siege and node sieges sprinkled in @sonic oyster

sonic oyster Jul 9, 2018, 1:54 AM

#

thanks @surreal elk/ @tulip hatch

Trade runs in this game are gonna be hard unless accompanied

#

Actually I wonder what are going to be the ways to make gold in this game, caravans will be a gankbang <.< Lol

proven arrow Jul 9, 2018, 2:02 AM

#

caravans won't be something you see on the map so pvpers will have to spot them first

fresh pilot Jul 9, 2018, 2:06 AM

#

Are races going to have different zones?

sonic oyster Jul 9, 2018, 2:07 AM

#

Wait so if my caravan is attacked i immediately spawn outside of my caravan to engage in combat right?

#

or do they get the first attack on me

tulip hatch Jul 9, 2018, 2:11 AM

#

Races will not have different starting zones you will have 4 starting portals to choose from thoughi

#

Tulnar will work a bit differently since they never left verra

fast shoal Jul 9, 2018, 2:12 AM

#

I recall a quote about being deployed from different portals, with a natural city of that races culture forming at that portal.

#

Mayhaps I'm remembering erroneously

tulip hatch Jul 9, 2018, 2:14 AM

#

Races were originally going to gave specific portals however since friends were concerned about having to find each other on the maps the devs amended that

fast shoal Jul 9, 2018, 2:15 AM

#

Makes sense, although you might end up with the problem of some races not having a single node being of their culture, which is what it was intended to inhibit. (Elf masterrace don't care kek )

fresh pilot Jul 9, 2018, 2:21 AM

#

So races won't be enemies? Like AA that there were factions?

crisp agate Jul 9, 2018, 2:31 AM

#

No, there aren't races divided up into factions! @fresh pilot

They have said (at least in the past) that certain divine gateways and the areas around them will be themed after the races—even if people can hop over to other ones. For instance, one has been called the "Kaelar" starting area in concept art, while another has been called the "Empyrean" starting area. (You can read up about it a bit here: https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Starting_areas )

Ty

surreal elk Jul 9, 2018, 4:57 AM

#

@sonic oyster no you will have to escort it or run the risk of it being raided.

sonic oyster Jul 9, 2018, 5:09 AM

#

so i cant engage in pvp with someone if im just transporting the goods in the caravan?

#

@surreal elk

#

or are you saying they'll get the first attack

#

but i can disembark from it fight, and then resume my journey after the fight

surreal elk Jul 9, 2018, 5:10 AM

#

@sonic oyster they would enter the zone flagged as attackers, since people have to sign up as defenders first.

sonic oyster Jul 9, 2018, 5:10 AM

#

oh

#

so if i wanna pvp, i should focus on protecting trade runners or attacking them instead of being a trade runner myself

#

is that right?

surreal elk Jul 9, 2018, 5:11 AM

#

@sonic oyster You can disembark from the caravan, it will move on its own( from my knowledge) to the selected area/node. You can do both to have pvp

sonic oyster Jul 9, 2018, 5:11 AM

#

oooh

#

so i can escort my own caravan

surreal elk Jul 9, 2018, 5:12 AM

#

just when your not defending, it runs the risk of getting destroyed, So I wouldnt recommend it being unguarded, correct you can escort and defend your own caravan etc

autumn niche Jul 9, 2018, 7:14 AM

#

I have a question about resources,is there a possibility that mineral resources can be extracted only in the mountains?

#

Or will be other places

#

if so I think there will be some imbalance

ruby swift Jul 9, 2018, 7:36 AM

#

@sonic oyster When you enter the "bubble" surrounding a caravan you have 3 options that will pop up Attack Defend or Ignore. That is how what team you're playing for is determined.

#

@autumn niche They have said that resources will become depleted and spawn in random locations all over the map. So you may very well find a silver node or mine in the mountains, but once it is tapped out it will respawn elsewhere. Not 5 meters away, but maybe several nodes over. This was last information given on that, whether that plan makes it to live is a different question.

what I´ve always wanted to ask is: is there any specific reason why all the livestreams are on monday night? it´s not always very easy for me to watch them live cause I need to work the next day and for me they start on midnight which is pretty late 😦 the time is okay but why aren´t they on saturdays for example where everyone can sleep longer the next day? just curious :3

obsidian fractal Jul 9, 2018, 7:53 AM

#

Because the company is located in USA, and they do livestreams on their work hours (in afternoon) so for EU ppl it will not be friendly, can just rewatch them later on 😃 Best for some EU ppl might be if they streamed on friday afternoons, but then again, you will never fit in every time zone and every person needs
