I hope we can still change this my.com plan main concern im seeing is the shit customer support and account security that my.com provides. Which would be their hole job with Ashes... you ever thougt about Steam? We better do a Community Transliteration sorry but if we want a change in the Genre no hope for my.com lair Company hope we can change this as Community

Nyother, steam will be worse. They take a big portion of the money coming in and often want full creative control.

vague ermine Aug 22, 2018, 7:20 PM

#

Nah i have myself published 2 games via Steam 30% Takes Steam yea! But AoC will be free to Download pay2play so Steam takes care of Support Stuff only as my.com there are only submit coasts of 100$
If they use there cosmetic shop via Steam sure a little fee goes to Steam

#

So there only Server coasts

#

Done u are published on Steam

#

You can actually talk with them so everyone wins

glass swallow Aug 22, 2018, 7:28 PM

#

Steam has had issues with other comperable MMO's such as with TESO. You need to pick the best of a flawed world. Lets hope that the discussions Intrepid holds with my.com are productive and the end results is stellar

granite bay Aug 22, 2018, 7:55 PM

#

depends on your viewpoint really, and how much you intend to ignore the track record of my.com
personally, my main objective atm is to prevent my personal & account details being handed over to 'that' company
So, as the 'deal is done' I am relegated to either vpn and it's issues because it really doesn't matter what comes out of this Friday meeting, damage is done and contract signed

crisp onyx Aug 22, 2018, 7:58 PM

#

I know that where i live a contract has a "cooling off" period built in so that if you change your mind within x days..the contract can be declared null and void.

granite bay Aug 22, 2018, 7:59 PM

#

I don't envisage that is a likely outcome, IS have been searching and researching this issue since May

vague ermine Aug 22, 2018, 8:14 PM

#

@glass swallow thats all we can hope but my.com‘s rep is insane.. and only that does alot damage.. what happend to TravianGames thougt they "publish“ the Game in the EU?

glass swallow Aug 22, 2018, 8:26 PM

#

I wish that i had more detail I could share to help on these concerns. I hear what you are saying and for awareness, these concerns have been delivered to Steven for review in preparations for his meeting Friday.

Hello.. I bought this game at kickstarter, with alot of money.. Now I see that My.Com is publishing the game in EU.. With all this uproar about that publisher, I really don't want to spend alot of money on the game, and maybe buy it when it's been out a while, so I can actually see how it goes with that publisher..

My question is: Can I get a refund this early? Or am I fucked, cause it was through kickstarter?

granite bay Aug 22, 2018, 9:22 PM

#

I don't believe you can via kickstarter, and it was clearly stated when you "donated"
You didn't buy anything, you pledged an amount to fund the development, there's no contract, no rights... that's how kickstarter works if I am remembering correctly

wide plume Aug 22, 2018, 9:23 PM

#

So im screwed.. 😦

granite bay Aug 22, 2018, 9:24 PM

#

for the time being yes, all us EU backers are - assuming my.com remain in the picture anyhow (personal stance on that issue btw)

#

although I prefer to align with 'disappointed' and not screwed 😉

bear in mind though that you don't have any grounds for requesting that refund, assuming you're going to cite my.com as publisher

Why no my.com announcement on ANY Ashes media?

ruby swift Aug 23, 2018, 2:50 PM

#

Because the info was leaked before they had planned to announce. Still relevant details to be hashed out, they will make an announcement after Steven has locked down all the community concerns that have been brought up and they have answers so people can have informed discussions instead of the torches and pitchforks that is occurring now.

GMT is UTC in winter time. GMT is always +1 while UTC goes back and forth between +1 and +2 for CEST

umm, not correct, but I'll let u google it for why
every1 should just use UTC and be done with it anyway

UTC & GMT – Same Difference?

Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is often interchanged or confused with Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). But GMT is a time zone and UTC is a time standard.

No answer on timeline. But with Pax in the normal changeover window. And pre A1KS the week after, and A1 the week after that, you can guess they will prolly let them ride till Oct 2nd to get back on track with our Halloween cosmetics.

I'm so confused by the my.com privacy policy:

6. International Transfers

6.1. We may  transfer and maintain on our servers or databases some of your personal information outside the European Economic Area (EEA) including in Russia.

6.2. The countries to which we transfer your data may not have the same data protection laws as your jurisdiction. We take reasonable cyber security measures and/or put in place the Standartd Contractual Clauses (e.g. Model Clauses, Data Processing Agreement/Addendum) to ensure your data is adequately protected.```
🤔 😮 😦
This is dubious...

empty fjord Aug 24, 2018, 6:38 AM

#

Sooo basically, they can move our data outside of EU where GDPR is law, and do whatever the hell they wish with it

shadow rain Aug 24, 2018, 6:38 AM

#

exactly

#

that's what I'm worried about they'll do

empty fjord Aug 24, 2018, 6:39 AM

#

I want my data to stay with ashesofcreation.com

shadow rain Aug 24, 2018, 6:39 AM

#

well, at least, if it's an EU based company, it should retain the data in the EU 😮

empty fjord Aug 24, 2018, 6:39 AM

#

I'm not going to consent with my.com having any of it

shadow rain Aug 24, 2018, 6:46 AM

#

14. The exclusive right for distribution of the AFS [Additional Function Set (in-game content)] belongs to My.com, due to which neither offers of third parties on provision of rights to use the AFS shall be considered by the User as offers originated from My.com.
15. In case My.com establishes that the User obtains access to the AFS from third parties, My.com shall be entitled, at its own discretion either to suspend or to limit the right of using the AFS, or terminate the access of the User to the Game. The provisions of this clause are not applicable for the cases when AFS was obtained via My.com’s Partners.```
So everything IS will give EU players is worthless?

When you dont trust that everyone can change them self to good , than fight for it that you can purchase with paysafe, and all your data is save

mild bear Aug 24, 2018, 7:13 AM

So basically Intrepid signs a document agreeing that my.com can sell our sensitive account information to 3d parties outside of legal jurisdiction and do what the hell they want with it. Becuase the EU players contract is with my.com and not intrepid.

I´m asking cause I´m curious if I´ll have to download the full game again or if I can download that part of the game I need for alpha 1, download the part for beta, etc. and at the end I just have to download what´s left, which is maybe 30gb less cause I´ve already downloaded some stuff before 😃

Can I play this game from RU ?

eager rock Aug 24, 2018, 6:23 PM

#

@runic arrow
Steven has contracted with my.com for the time being to use thier servers to help EU and RU players connect more efficiently with less lag and ping. However because of personal conflicts with the community the NA servers hosted by Intrepid themselves will not be region locked. This may cause performance loss but that is a personal choice if you wish to connect to a NA server from RU.

mild bear Aug 24, 2018, 7:18 PM

#

@ocean forum With servers at different levels of progress and unique content, they have to be treated separately. PTS will exist along with live for instance. That means they will probably be placed in their own folder and download files from a different location. Thats the only way they can manage versioning control. The client will more than likely give you the option to download/play different package types at one point, if it does not do so already. I dont think I have ever seen a game use symbolic links to common files, because they may at some point differ and not be a common file. We dont know if my.com will have their own 'launcher' software for loading the 'ashes client' in EU (Like GOG does for the witcher as an example or steam does with many games as software within software). Yet.

<@&257269635559194625> This isn't a question per se. I just wanted to say Steven once again you and your team are awesome. You really took the Communities concerns seriously, got out in front of it and ensured that issues were addressed with no region locking and conveying my.com community issues. That they even are instilling some new policies was pretty cool too afterwards

tulip hatch Aug 24, 2018, 9:21 PM

The thing with referrals is if whoever you refer doesn't immediately sign up it may not count it and you lose that referral

also if you make an error with generating the referral link it may not count either

I don't know how I could have made a mistake there, I clicked the Generate URL button, then I copied the link, sent it to my friends and then they made their accounts :/

hey @idle siren <@&257269635559194625> i have a question for you, with all the kickstarters getting certain ingame items is it possible for everyone to be able to get them items with hard work and graft ingame ? once hit a certain mile stone or something ?

cedar talon Aug 25, 2018, 11:46 AM

KS/Monthly shop skins are one time only. You will however see skins of similar quality being available in Ashes through crafting and achievements

@idle siren <@&257269635559194625> Got 3 questions about the referal system: 1) If someone makes an account off a referal link but for some reason it doesn't register the referal , is there a way to still activate the refaral later on your account ( like in account you have a special line where you got the "You have been refered by: XXXX" (if empty complete it witht the account name that refered) ? 2) Is there a way to see the names of the accounts that you have been refered by you, or the name of the account that refered you? (for example to check if you were refered by the right person). 3) Since my.com now will most likely have its own referal system for their server, do we have to re-refer the people for their site as well, or all the accounts will be on your main site and not on my.com's website?

cedar talon Aug 25, 2018, 11:58 AM

#

Send a message to support about it. There are several reasons why a referal doesn't register
There is no way to see the accounts registered to you
Don't know about that.

<@&257269635559194625> I hear you talking in the stream about how people will influence the whole world around them, more specifically for example where the cities will be build etc. I can see how this is a very interesting new concept in the MMO world, and probably very awesome for everyone that is involved from the very beginning. However, a lot of good MMO's will gain new players over the months or even years that it has been out. Will those new players still have a chance to influence the world around them? Will there be fresh-start server regularly? Basically: how does this translate to new players over the months/years to come?

cedar talon Aug 25, 2018, 12:26 PM

#

Ok so servers will never wipe. There are however mechanics in place that can delevel a node so another node may be leveled. So new players can play in those nodes and help grow them.

undone tiger Aug 25, 2018, 12:42 PM

It would be heartbreaking having your node destroyed haha

What's the difference between the Intrepid pack that I ordered for $500 and the Voyager Plus Pack for $375 that's currently on the market

#

Voyager seems like a way better deal, unless you really wanted the intrepid skins I got.

#

Okay, no alpha 1 access

cedar talon Aug 25, 2018, 1:34 PM

#

yup no A1 access

ruby swift Aug 25, 2018, 1:35 PM

#

@steady veldt There is a common misconception that there will somehow be a "land rush" in Ashes. This is not the case. Once a node hits level 3, freeholds can be placed. A player needs to get a deed from the node city for permission to place and then can go out and stake out their claim. No one knows when a node will "pop" so they wont be able "camp" the npc since they won't even exist at that point. Various nodes(and there are many, many nodes) will rise and fall over the course of the server. Once you have the freehold, if you install an inn/tavern module you will have the option to upgrade it and also work the bar yourself or hire an npc to sell food/drink buffs you have crafted. Hope this helps.

cedar talon Aug 25, 2018, 1:38 PM

#

I used fast because there is a limit of taverns allowed within a node btw

ruby swift Aug 25, 2018, 1:41 PM

#

The only limit on taverns is actual physical placement space, just like real life. Freeholds are not instanced. Fast gives the wrong impression that they have been fighting since the beginning that there is a land rush component to housing. Bad Dog IveGotNoLife Bad Dog!

meager dragon Aug 25, 2018, 1:43 PM

#

I am with no life on this one. If there isn't limited space there will be a rush once the node flips

#

Er if there is limited space. Silly phone

crisp agate Aug 25, 2018, 10:49 PM

It may have been the “Starter Gear” for A1 they were showing off, as we have other armor sets that have been shown in the past that are less ornate.

i think i asked this a few times now, but is Intripid planning on having a system where players or guilds can hire Merc's or Bounty Hunters to hunt down players or do jobs for them? I.E. hire a Merc for a Castle Siege or players putting bounties out for Known Players that PK?

spiral mantle Aug 26, 2018, 12:13 AM

<@&257269635559194625> will low tier crafting materials lose their value in high level gameplay? IE will steel be unviable for higher levels while in comparison diamond will be mainly used. OR will each material have its own use? IE copper gives critical chance, steel gives bleeding and diamond gives durability.

merry frigate Aug 26, 2018, 12:17 AM

#

id think they'd have value as new players join. adding onto this question would you hve a Durability based gear system to make some gear more optimal to use compared to higher level gear that might break faster?

#

just a thought

#

that itself would make low tier stuff have relevence then i'd think if it was used as repair materials

pulsar matrix Aug 26, 2018, 3:22 AM

#

@spiral mantle crafting materials will be used in low and high tier recipies. They've said that there should always be a market for materials. Some will be more common than others, but none should be irrellevant.

boreal abyss Aug 26, 2018, 6:39 PM

#

Yes to custom designs based on a modular system they will have in place.
No to uploads because:

It will ruin immersion (just look how that went for ArcheAge
They will literally have to hire ppl to go through all the uploads to chose which are allowed to be used and which are not because of copyright laws etcetc

#

And other laws hmm

crisp agate Aug 26, 2018, 6:40 PM

#

"J solo asks: 'Will players be able to import images into the game to put on in-game objects like sails, shields, and cloaks?' So I think our preliminary answer this is going to be no from the out of game pictures. I think we're going to have a pretty in-depth symbol creation system in the game that's going to allow for a lot of customization representing either emblems for your guild, or for your city flags—and for you know, custom armor." (From that Video)

teal nebula Aug 26, 2018, 6:41 PM

#

@boreal abyss that is correct but he dont say no to upload what means that there can be the option , and the option is like you say that someone check the foto :) from here lets discus per pm so we hold the chat clear ok?

crisp agate Aug 26, 2018, 6:43 PM

#

@teal nebula With what I linked he specifically says no to uploading images. Someone asked if they can 'make or upload' guild logos. That means that only one of them has to be true for him to say "yes" (though he could have clarified). If they said "make and upload", then if you couldn't upload he'd have to say "no".

Well my debit card is connected to my bank account and I get alerts every time it is used and if I don't confirm it gets cancelled-- not everyone's is like that though. And sometimes debit cards aren't even connected to bank accounts they just have a sum of money that is added to them. I tend to use those for online transactions.

KS will be able to purchase A1 for a longer time, website packages have lost that ability

Alright, cool. So we KS backers are pretty much guaranteed an A1 spot as long as we got the proper tier. Cool :D

Has there been a loose date set for the cutoff?

spiral mantle Aug 26, 2018, 11:27 PM

1 quick question again, but with the level cap being most likely 50, and the devs themselves saying itll take about 45 days to get there, what endgame content will be available after that? like after we hit max level, what do we do? and how will we progress? is the majority of content before or after level cap?

cedar talon Aug 26, 2018, 11:29 PM

#

Theres plenty of endgame locked behind leveling nodes and discovering areas. Raids have also been said to be hard so you wont clear them in the first 10 runs. Also seeing PvP is important, you can do a lot of that in terms of sieges, bounty hunting and caravan raiding.

How will bounties work?
Ex. Can a political leaders put a bounty on a guild that has been raiding their caravans?
Can a political leaders put a bounty on everyone in their node that is red? (Without listing every red player in their node by name)

dark jungle Aug 27, 2018, 1:56 AM

#

@timid scarab it seems that node governments can "Mark foreign citizens of other nodes as enemies of the state" which could mean a kind of bounty system, or it could just mean that they are flagged as enemies to citizens of the node.

timid scarab Aug 27, 2018, 1:58 AM

#

Can they specify other nodes, or just every foreign node?

#

Or can they all with nodes, and specify all non-allied nodes?

dark jungle Aug 27, 2018, 1:59 AM

#

Specific nodes afaik

#

Info is here https://www.ashesofcreation.com/city-hall/

Can players use like catapults for example. And defenders drop hot oil

in the latest combat video it seemed a bit that the camera is not rlly straight behind the character but a bit to the side like in warframe. will that remain like that? or can we change the camera perspective? I´d love to have mine straight behind the character like in many other mmorpgs like gw2, aion, etc.

Hi:) I'm new. I'm from Ukraine, so I would like to find out if Ukrainians are gonna be region locked to CIS (and mail.ru as a publisher)? Mail.ru is banned in our country so, if there's gonna be such thing as region lock, personally, I'd prefer if we sided with he EU and my.com.

sweet umbra Aug 27, 2018, 12:45 PM

no region lock or ip block

frosty fractal Aug 27, 2018, 12:47 PM

@sweet umbra Thanks a lot. That's great news! Sorry if my question was asked before, I just could not find the answer anywhere.

@frosty fractal it was answered very recently, in discord if I remember correctly so u woulda had a hard time finding it

coarse juniper Aug 27, 2018, 1:35 PM

#

there will be no lock on region but there is a lock on government UA servers mail.ru, and if the launcher will be from INTREPID, and the server from mail, we will have to go to the EU or even in addition to the subscription to buy a vpn //sorry for bad english

#

@coarse juniper Thanks for the info. I was more concerned about having UA IPs blocked on the EU servers. Going to the EU servers was going to be my choice, so the question is more about being able to access EU servers rather than not being able to access Russian servers.

@ruby swift Thanks

<@&257269635559194625> I know that the cities and castles will "grow" to the dominant race in the are and the design of the buildings will reflect this. My question is will the race specific structures offer unique defense benifits or simply be cosmetic differences in design? I prefer it being the latter btw.

@novel ice Race specific architectures will probably alter defense - We know that different racial architectures will have different layouts for the buildings, and just that will probably be enough to influence node defense balance in some way. - It's also supposed to open up different quests and I would be unsurprised by progress down said questlines being easier/more difficult to reach some particular defensive perk for the node

I'm sorry I'm a bit late and I'm not updated with the latest stuff... But is the game going to be subscription based and will the player end up using a lot of money for the game??

burnt wraith Aug 27, 2018, 4:11 PM

#

Yeah its subscription based. I hear roughly 15 a month but can be lowered through some means. Whether you put in more is up to the player honestly

white heart Aug 27, 2018, 4:12 PM

#

dang it

trim bloom Aug 27, 2018, 4:12 PM

But, no box price

#

Youll have to pay the sub for 4 months, and youll only pay a price of normal game by then

white heart Aug 27, 2018, 4:13 PM

OHHHH so sub for 4 months only... and we dont have to pay after that?

trim bloom Aug 27, 2018, 4:13 PM

no no no

You normaly pay 15$ per month

Im saying that if you paid for 4 months, you would only by then paid the box price of the game

Its like WoW sub, but you dont pay for the game, or any upcoming expacs

so the player can end the subscription anytime and get back into the game anytime....... seems awesome.........

yea, basicaly, same as wow as I said

or any other sub based mmo

vague arrow Aug 27, 2018, 4:23 PM

So I’m wondering, with two separate publishers technically, if I wanted to play with EU friends and US friends, would I have to buy two copies of the game, two subs etc? Or would one copy direct from Intrepid allow me access to both from one account, just choosing different servers to play on? (Apologies if this has been answered already)

@idle siren <@&257269635559194625> Can we have MENA version of AoC? If the game is translated to Arabic, it will probably have larger player base than EU. GamePower7 is the best Arabic publishers/translators at the moment. Please reply !!

#

I really want a MENA version of the game because all regions are way too far from the countries in MENA, minimum 150ms ping is so painful and sad. I have Royalty pack, please let us enjoy the game at it utmost, too ! Best memories in an MMO can only be made with those close to one's(in my case, playing with other Arabs, with the same culture, is the best experience).

white heart Aug 27, 2018, 4:27 PM

#

would there be any options to buy multiple month subscription for a lesser price or something

novel ice Aug 27, 2018, 4:29 PM

#

@stiff pond I dont think the middle east would allow stevens game. Since he wont accept them having creative control of the ingame content. And in the game there are things that your area consider "offensive" in nature. Like gay marriage and would probably ban it if he tried to set up a server site there. Arabic nations are not generally known for tolerance of free lifestyles. (No offense meant)

neat panther Aug 27, 2018, 4:36 PM

#

Isn't the whole reason to go crowdfunded that you DON'T have a publisher? I'm sorta, mixed about this..

novel ice Aug 27, 2018, 4:37 PM

#

There wont be a publisher for NA @neat panther but in the EU its basically impossible to self publish because of the laws there

stiff pond Aug 27, 2018, 4:39 PM

#

@novel ice Things like same gender marriage can translated to something else like "soulmate", I saw in other MMOs this happened. Some publishers don't mind, but I highly recommend GamePower7, they will probably change the word marriage to "soulmate" and modify some costumes to be acceptable to our culture. That's what so good about them, and why they are #1 most successful publishers. They also have a really famous TV channel to advertise their MMO.

neat panther Aug 27, 2018, 4:39 PM

#

Well, there are a ton of other games that is self-published and they are based in US, but have servers globally, don't see it would be any reason to have a publisher in the EU despite this.

novel ice Aug 27, 2018, 4:39 PM

#

Which is why Intrepid Studios is signing with Mycom to let Mycom server host AoC over there. But there wont be any server locking or IP blocks. So you can still use Intrepid if you wish for NA servers

vague arrow Aug 27, 2018, 4:39 PM

#

But if you want to play with EU and NA friends, you have to buy 2 copies, one from Intrepid and one from Mycom?

neat panther Aug 27, 2018, 4:40 PM

#

Ye, I might just play on NA server if the ping is good enough.

novel ice Aug 27, 2018, 4:40 PM

#

@neat panther those games spent many millions in legal fees and other items to do so. Steven wants to publish the game worldwide before 2020. If he tried to self publish there EU wont get the game til 2022 likely

#

@stiff pond I thinks its sort of the principle though? I dont think any country should be able to limit others freedoms just because they dont like it.

Either way Middle East players will have access to AoC through NA servers, or through Mycom EU servers

Mail.ru (which is parenting My.com) is known as the most greedy russian publisher that have led countless once before popular games into the graveyard of oblivion as soos as it had its hands on these games. So why trust it with handling not even born game? As far as I know, many people will not even consider this game worth playing when they know who's gonna publish it.

So just read the my.com news bit and they state this: We want to make sure the game reaches our players with a business model and monetisation options that matches the expectations of the fans and backers of Ashes of Creation. So my.com have the say on business model and cash shop hmm? why say 'A business model' instead of 'The business model' ?

crystal beacon Aug 27, 2018, 5:38 PM

#

Why it is impossible to combine the servers of the CIS and the EU? If the game is so huge.

#

@bleak oracle There's likely to be minor changes regionally due to things as simple as variation in laws, so how things are handled will likely be different from region to region.

#

Combine physically, or as in having all players in the same world?

#

In one world Ashes of Creation, it will be interesting

#

jeffWUT

#

Any answer to that would be pretty complicated 😆

#

Between server size limits and language barriers it tends to be easier to have things regionally handled.

@idle siren said “Kickstarter backers and Summer backers will still have the ability to upgrade to Alpha 1 packages, but this will be the final week for Intrepid Packs with Alpha 1 access on the website.”

Just wishful thinking but that doesn’t mean I could buy a pack right now ($375 one) and upgrade to be able to play Alpha1 does it? I got here a few days late and missed the opportunity to buy the $500 alpha1 pack

IS is being strict with handling as far as I can see, so things should largely be uniform except where it isn't reasonable for that region. @bleak oracle

@dusk vapor just to further clarify, there's 3 main types of purchased access 1) Kickstarter (ended spring 2017) 2) Summer backers (ended July 22, 2017) and 3) Web store purchases. Unless you somehow bought in during 1) or 2), it is no longer possible to upgrade to Alpha-1 access.

Question: What server location(s) will alpha be in.. I.E... East USA (chicago)...West usa (California)

solid palm Aug 27, 2018, 8:12 PM

#

<@&257269635559194625> just want to know why you picked them . I mean in the last 2 years a very awesome game went from top to almost down and merging servers over and over. In the end of an statement pointing fingers over to the Asian side which is not a good thing actually.
Nothing against you but this decision wasn’t a good step in consideration the recent published Revelation online. Honestly their support is not any good and the customer management isn’t either. Of course out can change with you guys but many many people lost their faith and hopes! So why my.com there are so many publishers out there even bigger. I feel sorry for the game that I stated to get hyped for.
And this was only for <@&257269635559194625> not for the mods in here. You guys are doing a good job but the feedback is for them 😉

i don't understand the purpose of my.com in relation to ashes of creation, does anyone know? are they just a typical 49% stock holder or something?

#

why does an american company need an EU publisher? is there a legal loophole monopoly or something going on in EU and we need a publisher over there for EU people to even be allowed to play the game or something?

#

people keep telling me that my.com wont effect me since i live in america, but that just furthers the question, what's the point of them then? what are they doing for AoC?

#

If we didn't have them; would we need someone else?

So basically, too many legal issues to get into, outsourced to another company who knows these issues and what to do to cover them
(Also, my.com own no shares or anything in Intrepid, they are just a processor hired by Intrepid Stuidos to handle the publishing in the EU)

#

@pliant sparrow

pliant sparrow Aug 27, 2018, 9:36 PM

cursive hinge Aug 27, 2018, 9:51 PM

@simple ether my.com can also ignore the other games completly and just focus on AoC. So the other games have a bigger problem 😃 No one knows what happen. Maybe my.com change, maybe not. We will see!

ruby swift Aug 27, 2018, 9:52 PM

#

And another fact that seems to be thrown around a fair bit is that My.com/Mail.ru do not "own" Ashes in EU/Russia now. While we will never know the exact details of the contract, they did not have to offer stock or a percentage of the company. Steven has stated multiple times that he is the sole owner of Intrepid and since they are a private company that is as far as anyone is ever going to know about other entities and their "cut of the pie"

meager dragon Aug 27, 2018, 10:11 PM

#

I believe that Steven said in the discord Q&A that my.com agreed to put their priority on Ashes, so it's not just another game in their stable, it's the main primary game they run.

@idle siren So since there will be no region lock what are your plans about desync combat?

hidden lance Aug 27, 2018, 11:22 PM

#

@idle siren Will the game be 1 server with "channels" where people will have desyncy bullshit, or will there be like a west, central, east server for NA for example?

#

sweet so i can play on an eastern time server with other players with no desync crap?

empty fjord Aug 27, 2018, 11:59 PM

#

what do you mean by desync crap? imagine WoW servers, you will have a set of servers on NA, a set of servers on EU, etc. no channels

fair yew Aug 28, 2018, 12:03 AM

#

I believe they are referring to the wow feature where zones are spliced together with various servers. so far there has been no talk about this type of feature

#

everyone on a server will be there without instancing except in certain dungeons

hidden lance Aug 28, 2018, 2:40 AM

#

bdo servers for example. its one mega server, everything is desynced because you have the server hosted on west coast with players from central/east coast, its a mess

winged sparrow Aug 28, 2018, 3:10 AM

#

I don't think thats the main issue

#

its the net code of the game

#

the publisher at some point upgraded the servers which improved it quite a bit, but i still lagged in massive fights

chrome geyser Aug 28, 2018, 3:41 AM

There will be no phasing, sharding or channels. Ashes will have servers, you make your character on a server, then login and play. That's it.

I've actually got a question about how mobs will be grouped together. One thing I've never really liked is how focused on a single level, mob locations are and how you're never back in lower level places Ever cause its all weak mobs. Has there been any info on this and how mobs will be spread throughout Ashes?

#

Simply put, will there be higher level mobs either mixed in or put near lower level mobs and/or reasons other then lifeskills, to go back to lower level area's?

warm sky Aug 28, 2018, 5:56 AM

#

I ask jeffrey a different question, i dont know if the answer ok for you... i ask will the howl world scale with the playerlvl. Or will a lvl 1 char be oneshittet by the mobs... he say around the node there will be lowlvl mobs and critters... plus soldiers to peotect us. If you go as a lvl 1 in the dark dark forest there will be mobs who kill you onehittet... also yeah there will be moblvl zones.

#

Same lvl mobs in a zone

willow forge Aug 28, 2018, 5:59 AM

Well at the very least I would like to know if they will be placed in a less linier way, so it sorta doesn't feel like you're traveling in one direction to progress.

I dont know, but i think there will be zones with monsters of the same lvl. But i dont think that there is just one zone with that monsterlvl. The world is hugh. All i know is that around the nodes are the low lvl mobs.

willow forge Aug 28, 2018, 6:05 AM

#

Alright, thanks Riddah

spring surge Aug 28, 2018, 7:38 AM

#

@willow forge Note that as a Node progresses through it's stages, so will the mob spawns in that Node change as well. I.e. a Node will have higher level mobs as it levels. But it will probably be as @warm sky mentioned that it will be safer close to the town, and more dangerous as you travel further away from it.

#

When it comes to mixing low level with high level mobs, I have not seen any information on this

warm sky Aug 28, 2018, 7:39 AM

#

Thx 4 the info :)

spring surge Aug 28, 2018, 7:39 AM

#

But point being, an area that was low level at one point can become high level at a later point as nodes develop

#

ruby swift Aug 28, 2018, 8:16 AM

@warm sky @spring surge @willow forge The original questions were about linear progression of nodes and the spawn tables. They have indeed talked about this in previous livestreams. Please realize any A0 videos you have seen of spawns and density were placeholder and will not reflect further stage testing and live launch. There will be a variety of mobs of different levels in a node. A low level node may indeed have high level mobs in it and just because you are on the road does not mean you are safe, safer maybe, but not safe. World Map
As mentioned before, leveling up your in-game character and the node you occupy changes many things, including the map structure that surrounds you.[17] Ashes of creation is implementing this by avoiding the common trend in other mmorpg’s where the theme of the world map is relatively the same and flows into a central medium point. Instead they are concentrating on making an interesting and diverse world where every zone has its own theme and focal point. The difficulty ranges for each zone and level as the monsters you encounter are unique in physique and skill and are constantly changing and adapting as you do. Along with the monsters, the map itself will also begin to expand and grow as you grow and level up the node you occupy. The higher you go; the number of events and rarity of epic monsters increases. The importance of this is so that the server as a whole is able to level up as you go and as the population amount increases. Not just so you have different zones for your specific level, such as “lvl 5, lvl 10, lvl 15, etc.” This system is the backbone of the entire game and keeps the game flowing while maintaining a new and diverse experience every time you log on.

#

Is there an estimate to how much production of the game cost so far or should cost until release?

ruby swift Aug 28, 2018, 8:28 AM

#

30 million was the number thrown around in early interviews by Steven. Intrepid is a private company and has no obligation to release numbers of subs, costs, or other expenditures. But they have been extremely transparent for most phases of development, so you never know. Steven may just release it around launch so that other indie developers look at its example and help revitalize the genre. Since part of the "mission" is to highlight bad practices by the industry as a whole, they could be convinced to do this down the line. Or they could just say, nah, none your business how much money I'm making.

heady quartz Aug 28, 2018, 8:30 AM

#

I see, so more or less as expected

ruby swift Aug 28, 2018, 8:34 AM

#

Also with taking on outside publishers like my.com in EU and such they may now fall under laws and guidelines for release of financial information when publicly traded companies are involved. If they were to release numbers and they affected stock prices of their partners, could get them into trouble they don't need just to satisfy curiosity.

ruby swift Aug 28, 2018, 9:55 AM

How much money they raised would not affect how much the game costs to produce. We have multiple statements before the Kickstarter and after that the game had been fully funded for core mechanics envisioned without those. Kickstarter and further package sales were only done to realize stretch goals that they wanted to include, but were outside the scope of the initial budget. While the latest addition of resources from the My.com/Mail.ru deal has also added an unknown amount of resources to the pool, just because they have extra scratch, doesn't mean the scope has crept. https://i.gyazo.com/15d710fcd61a57386fd89df2060bd032.png

@hidden lance Most likely yo uwill not be able to haphazardly change your profession hmm
It might be possible, but "Artisan" is its own class in Ashes, so most likely you will start that Class from scratch again if that is the case

#

A Character class is split between Adventurer Class (Regular Class) and Artisan Class (Professions)

hidden lance Aug 28, 2018, 7:49 PM

#

@boreal abyss theoretically, could i upkeep myself if i wanted to do an "ironman" type of playstyle, with multiple characters and trade items between them ?

boreal abyss Aug 28, 2018, 7:50 PM

#

You could...
But if you want to personally craft the best in every single profession..
You will need a tooooon of characters

#

Specialization in Artisan Class will count A LOT in Ashes, if you dont specialize, you will make worse gear than a person who specializes in that gear

hidden lance Aug 28, 2018, 8:08 PM

would be kinda cool to see an "ironman system" put in place for people who wanted to

crystal beacon Aug 28, 2018, 8:13 PM

people who want to, can just not trade with anyone. a special system doesn't need to be put in

hidden lance Aug 28, 2018, 8:14 PM

IDK, the way they do it in OSRS is pretty cool/fun. Stands you out from normal players, and being self sufficient. Unable to trade others, having to gather all your own supplies, ect ect

burnt wraith Aug 28, 2018, 8:16 PM

#

The game is pretty centered on a player made economy so it's essentially gonna influence you to engage with other players to get items that you alone won't necessarily have access to based on your artisan role

spiral mantle Aug 28, 2018, 8:16 PM

yo quick question but will we be able to craft different arrows and potions for our bows and potion launchers?

burnt wraith Aug 28, 2018, 8:18 PM

There was a mention of different potions being used for the launcher but whether those can be player made or if they're just preset wasn't necessarily delved into nor was weapon crafting in general too that extent

So it's probable but nothing confirmed tmk

Monster coin events are triggered by activity in the world, such as node advancement, defeating a boss or constructing certain types of buildings within a node.[5]

@willow forge I'm not sure if this answers your question, and you probably already know this, but as a node develops new dungeons can 'appear" where they weren't before. I would classify this as randomly popping up out of nowhere.

Hello everyone. I have a question about Alpha 1. Iam from Czech Republic (EU) so iam little bit confused with situation around my.com. what i want to know Is who will release servers for Alpha1 in EU. IT will be already my.com or directly Interpid? Sorry for bad english (Still learning) .

empty fjord Aug 29, 2018, 8:33 AM

Intrepid for A1, think we won't have to deal with my.com until release

trim bloom Aug 29, 2018, 8:35 AM

That doesnt really make sense Azurl

Im personaly not sure who will host them, but I doubt IS will, I only know that they will be launched later than NA ones

Oh well, guess Im missing newer info shrugs

empty fjord Aug 29, 2018, 8:53 AM

Well I haven't heard anything other than the testing phases being under IS

#

my.com will be the publisher for EU, but the game is not to be published until released, so IS for A1 is my logic

trim bloom Aug 29, 2018, 8:54 AM

#

If they could take care of the servers they could publish it as well

#

They are using my.com for servers in EU, so they dont have to worry about them

empty fjord Aug 29, 2018, 8:55 AM

was a bit more complicated than just hosting

trim bloom Aug 29, 2018, 8:56 AM

#

The logical way would be that the servers would be in NA, but set for EU

empty fjord Aug 29, 2018, 8:56 AM

#

they would have to set up a company in EU to manage the hosting themselves, guess it just made more sense to use an established publisher in EU than doing it themselves, anywho this is beyond the questions channel.

ruby swift Aug 29, 2018, 1:04 PM

#

The have stated that later in A1 that the 10k population will be split into two different server 5k populations. The only reason to do that would be if the servers were in different regions. So unless they are testing say west coast US and east coast US, the other one will be in EU. If it is in EU, it will be my.com. My.com statement says that they are starting CS for Ashes sept 1st and are working with them on development for their areas of resposibility. SO....if EU gets the server...it will be my.com

empty fjord Aug 29, 2018, 1:17 PM

#

thanks @ruby swift I was unaware of this. I had assumed the split was merely to balance population into a smaller world, not split into EU/NA.

pulsar matrix Aug 29, 2018, 1:22 PM

#

@ruby swift Jeff mentioned in a recent stream that the primary reason for 2-5k servers was to start small and scale up to 10k as time passes. Not arguing that they may split the regions up as well, but that's not the 'only' reason.

will this game have some form of lfg feature? i think these things kind of hurt server cultures and social interactions

tulip hatch Aug 30, 2018, 1:39 AM

#

There will not be the standard lfg systems
there will be bulletin boards in taverns and cities for people to view people searching for groups for dungeons/quests/gathering or other miscellaneous tasks

#

this way cities and taverns become a point of interest for players to gather

How do I get my money back from Kick Starter? I will not play a game associated with My.com. Their service and support is beyond horrible. Did anyone bother checking their BBB rating in the US before going with them? It’s a D-. I’m really disappointed because I had high hopes for this game. They were just crushed after reading the My.com announcement. Now I’m after a refund.

Pretty sure Kickstarter has a nice agreement you sign off on saying no refunds are available.

But as Ivegotnolife stated chances of a refund are slim as kickstarters are more of an investment to help a project rather than simply buying a game.

Hmm.. I couldn't find anything, soo... Will there be seasonal migration of monsters (or at least some of them)? Meaning, when autumn/winter comes some animals leave their spawns and for example start populating other warmer zones..

I don't know about that, all I can find is that there will be different monsters during night and day. But nothing about variations during seasons.

A lot of games made promises they didn't keep and were ruined for it cough**coughnomansskycough**cough. p2w, while a concern, is a minor one. Server stability and security are more important. But to be honest, I just want the game out so I can play it 😉 I'll take the chances and hope the risk goes away later.

dreamy olive Aug 30, 2018, 4:59 PM

@warm shale my main concern is account and credit card security, having lost both at the hands of my.com. and after the email from my.com say my account had been compromised the support team denied that anyone else had accessed my account, even though I have never been to Russia.

dreamy frost Aug 30, 2018, 5:09 PM

Heavensent is right, bad customer service or server stability is one thing, but security of private data is the point thats counts.

That's why I never purchase directly with a credit card. Use a prepaid or go through paypal. best rule of thumb. that way never any direct access to your stuff.

Not the best of logic to use. As the statement is saying you have no choice but to use the company that helped steal from you by packaging Malware in its launcher.

And then refused to admit there was an issue.

Hold on I will get the customer service response.

So after getting an email saying my account has been accesed in Russia, after I have found I can no longer log in, after I submit a support ticket this is the response from My.com.

@delicate bone tulnar are the only one so far and no other in planning atm. butz you can use some cosmetics to look like an monster, from the monster coin system you can earn special outfits that you look special or eventually like an monster ( and by the way so you get more and more skills with your favorit monstercoin monster

Yea, I wanted to ask if the official AoC Stream can be restreamed by the community in twitch while providing additional commenting and stuff. It is normally very beneficial for both parties, since it provides a bigger viewer base for both and the additional commenting can be very useful.
For instance I watched Liriks restream of the Nvidia RTX reveal Livestream, since he and his community provided additional information.

@ionic magnet They havent had a draw in a fair number of weeks and have made no announcement about the program going forward. If anything were to occur it would most likely be a draw for a possible B0 that was mentioned in the beginning and something like a total of 5 keys were awarded for, but then quietly was never mentioned again. With the pace of development breaking their own timeline plans in the positive, they may scrap any non-paid testing or "experiences" down the line. Stay tuned.

On the stream they said that not every Alpha 1 access people will be available during stress test. It's just randomly selected. I have understand this test last for 7 mounth (until Alpha 1 Phase 2). So during 7 month we have possibly not access for Alpha 1 . If I understand correctly, it is not very fair.

versed cloak Sep 1, 2018, 6:50 PM

I could be wrong but I thought his words were to bring in all alpha one people but to later stress test with any accounts that are signed up

tulip hatch Sep 1, 2018, 6:52 PM

There are 2 stress tests during alpha 1 phase 1
First before alpha 1 which is randomly selected among those who have packs with alpha1 access
then the normal alpha 1 begins after the initial stress test
Second stress test is approximately 4 months after normal testing and it will be open to everyone with an account registered

blazing bison Sep 1, 2018, 6:52 PM

#

May be I have not understood. I understand that during 7 mounth most of Alpha 1 will not have access

tulip hatch Sep 1, 2018, 6:52 PM

#

you misunderstood friend

#

we dont know how long but it wont be long at all

#

Alpha 1 testers have most access not the other way around

blazing bison Sep 1, 2018, 6:54 PM

#

So all Alpha 1 have access but for some stress tests (low duration) just some guys will be invited

#

Is it correct ?

stable plover Sep 1, 2018, 6:54 PM

#

correct

blazing bison Sep 1, 2018, 6:54 PM

#

Ok, thanks for your help 😃

tulip hatch Sep 1, 2018, 6:54 PM

#

The first stress test is random among fellow alpha 1 pack holders and will be a short duration then the normal alpha 1 begins

#

glad we could clear that up for you 👋🏻

versed cloak Sep 1, 2018, 6:56 PM

#

there's no posted date for alpha one is there?

celest willow Sep 1, 2018, 6:59 PM

#

So, a random sample of A1 gets access this week... is the rest of A1 joining later this month? I didn’t notice any mention of open world battlegrounds in the pax talk - is that mode only for the “random sample”?

stable plover Sep 1, 2018, 6:59 PM

#

Steven has previously stated A1 is likely to start in the 3rd week of Sept - that's not an official date yet though - A1 Stress test is supposed to start this week

So i backed the 50 or 60 package. We havent been advised to link anything with discord or the website yet? Besides the kickstarter?

burnt wraith Sep 1, 2018, 7:00 PM

#

So the test to overload the servers is that just for alpha key holders or everyone even those who haven't put money into the game

stable plover Sep 1, 2018, 7:00 PM

Open world Battleground is for all of the A1 backers when A1 officially starts

has the confirmed A1-1 classes that will be out changed? or is it still tank, mage, cleric, rogue

austere compass Sep 1, 2018, 7:09 PM

#

How are we supposed to get information on Alpha 1? Should I just wait for an email? Or is there somewhere specific I should be checking? Apologies since I imagine this has been asked a million times. 😦

#

Okay, thank you kindly.

merry frigate Sep 1, 2018, 7:16 PM

#

there is no more Alpha 1 keys is there? 😦

cedar talon Sep 1, 2018, 7:17 PM

Nope, stopped selling a while back

merry frigate Sep 1, 2018, 7:27 PM

#

ahh... welp. dont think i would get anything worth from alpha 2; so i might just hop in at the Beta Stage

#

oh here is a good question (that might have been answered); is there a limit to how many players can be in 1 guild?

tulip hatch Sep 1, 2018, 7:38 PM

#

Currently the planned max guild limit is around 250-300

stable plover Sep 1, 2018, 7:40 PM

#

(Guild size is upgradeable, and if you pick the guild size upgrades it locks out other upgrades)

grim venture Sep 1, 2018, 7:41 PM

#

Will the game have gamepad support?

cosmic shell Sep 1, 2018, 7:43 PM

#

Just so I fully understand will people be getting the entire Alpha for free or just P1 of alpha 1 for free?

grim venture Sep 1, 2018, 7:43 PM

#

With what?

cedar talon Sep 1, 2018, 7:47 PM

#

There is software that lets you rebind to a controller

stable plover Sep 1, 2018, 7:48 PM

#

Thanks. @simple ether said not at first, does that mean they will implement it later on?

stable plover Sep 1, 2018, 7:50 PM

#

Here's their last quote on it "Controller support?
Steven: We’re looking into controller support. UE4 natively has a pretty easy system for converting the UI into controller support. We’ll likely work on it closer to launch."

grim venture Sep 1, 2018, 7:52 PM

#

Thanks a lot Greypelt. I actually wanted to Know if Steven ever said anything about it. I'm thinking of buying the $375 pack because I want to get the feel of the game and invest in it. Good to know I'll be able to use my gamepad eventually 😍

fluid scroll Sep 1, 2018, 7:56 PM

Will Alpha 1 Phase 2 ONLY be $10,000 backers? or will others be able to come in shortly after?

nocturne jolt Sep 1, 2018, 8:10 PM

#

well, he said "select few" for Alpha 1. I bought braver of worlds along with a lot of other people for guaranteed Alpha 1 access. If that doesn't include me, I'd be rather unhappy about it.

tulip hatch Sep 1, 2018, 8:11 PM

#

Alpha 1 access is guaranteed for you
its the Stress Test that is not

#

they are not one in the same

frosty fractal Sep 1, 2018, 8:12 PM

#

@nocturne jolt I think you slightly misunderstood him. He said that there will be an "alpha 0.75" starting before "alpha 1 p1". That "alpha 0.75" will only be accessible by "select few" from the alpha 1 backers. And "alpha 0.75" will be a stress-test only.

nocturne jolt Sep 1, 2018, 8:13 PM

#

um, I just listened to the pax discussion panel and he said that about Alpha 1 Phase 1. don't recall him saying 0.75 at all during that discussion board.

tulip hatch Sep 1, 2018, 8:14 PM

#

Its a stress test prior to the start of alpha 1

frosty fractal Sep 1, 2018, 8:21 PM

#

@nocturne jolt perhaps I made up the "0.75" there. But he meant that therewill be a stress test before the alpha 1, that test will start this week an it won't take long. It's just to make sure that the servers are ready for alpha 1.

nocturne jolt Sep 1, 2018, 8:21 PM

#

"we will begin testing for phase 1 starting with a select number of alpha 1 backers....." at no point did he say "alpha 0.75" he said multiple times "alpha 1 testing". If it's not alpha 1, then he shouldn't keep calling it alpha 1, even if it is alpha 1 testing.

#

yes, you probably did make it up. 😉

brazen pagoda Sep 1, 2018, 8:24 PM

I did the kickstarter and tried several times to create/connect my account. Now when I go in it says I dont have kickstarter payments on record even though it charged me $120. I got the early bird almost a year ago. What should I do?

Open a support ticket

@teal nebula Thank you for info!

I'm dumb didnt even need to open a support ticket. Ignore me.

meager dragon Sep 1, 2018, 8:29 PM

#

HE said the alpha 1 starts 3rd eweek of sep[tember. This week they will start pulling random people from alpha 1 to get in early for stress test

brazen pagoda Sep 1, 2018, 8:31 PM

#

When does alpha 2 start. If they have announced it yet I mean.

frosty fractal Sep 1, 2018, 8:32 PM

#

@brazen pagoda approximately, the beginning of Q3 2019, according to the timeline that was at PAX today.

Okey :p thanks

i was backer 242 so im really hoping this includes me

wheat ether Sep 1, 2018, 8:38 PM

#

You can’t promise A1 access for backing the game and then make that A1 access a random selection.

hardy bear Sep 1, 2018, 8:38 PM

#

i dont think it is randong

#

random

wheat ether Sep 1, 2018, 8:39 PM

#

They said part of it was in the stream from PAX

hardy bear Sep 1, 2018, 8:40 PM

#

yeah but in the news they said it would be order of purchase

nocturne jolt Sep 1, 2018, 8:40 PM

#

well, it's a somewhat lengthy annoyance with the alpha zero testing that occurred where some of us backed being told "earliest players of the game" that were pushed off further because an alpha zero was created that went from family and friends to hundreds of weekly code winners getting to jump in and play.

wheat ether Sep 1, 2018, 8:42 PM

#

Order of purchase shouldn’t matter. If A1 is open all who have bought into that should have access.

tulip hatch Sep 1, 2018, 8:45 PM

#

Alpha 1 is not random

frosty fractal Sep 1, 2018, 8:45 PM

#

@wheat ether All A1 backers will get to play the game starting 3rd week of September. A1 access is not random. Random selection was only for the stress test period, which should take about 2 weeks starting from the 1st week of September.

tulip hatch Sep 1, 2018, 8:45 PM

#

The stress test prior is

#

The stress test is before alpha 1 they are not the same thing

so wait wait wait... if i make a free account on the AoC website, do i get to play Alpha 1??

tulip hatch Sep 1, 2018, 8:49 PM

#

you will get to play during the stress test approximately 4 months after normal testers

#

for 1 month

nocturne jolt Sep 1, 2018, 8:50 PM

#

since you're getting all lawyery on me: Invite to Closed Alpha - Phase 1 (Earliest Access to Ashes!) That's from the website. all this pre-alpha 1 stuff is earlier access than earliest access. like I said, it is a lengthy annoyance of tweaking terms.

ah ok... thanks @tulip hatch

sweet gulch Sep 1, 2018, 9:48 PM

I wanted clarification on the portion where he mentioned bringing everyone into alpha at some point.

#

some took it as, registered accounts would all be able to participate in alpha, and i cant see that being the case lol

so non alpha 1 testers get into phase 1?

big big stress test

sweet gulch Sep 1, 2018, 9:50 PM

makes sense

#

i will assume thats gonna occur towards the end of a1p1

some gonna take offense to that, since they believe alpha should be relegated to those who paid for it

250-300 but you will have to put skills in the guild perk system, and you lose other perks for increasing your memebers over getting other perks

cedar talon Sep 1, 2018, 10:17 PM

300 total cap. But you will have to choose between perks and member slots

Kalithana depends on the KS pack

not the archetypes.

The stress test that is happening this week is roughly 2-3 weeks long so sometime after that
no concrete date yet

does anyone know if they've said how many servers there will be?

#

and does anyone know if there will be an option to switch servers?

tulip hatch Sep 2, 2018, 12:05 AM

how many servers for the alpha test or how many servers during live launch

pliant sparrow Sep 2, 2018, 12:05 AM

#

and does anyone know if houses will be physical constructs or instanced?

#

live launch

tulip hatch Sep 2, 2018, 12:06 AM

#

there are 3 types of housing 1 is instanced and 2 are physical constructs

#

live launch no exact number yet due to it being too early to tell how many are necessary

pliant sparrow Sep 2, 2018, 12:06 AM

#

player owned houses will be the instanced one, correct?

tulip hatch Sep 2, 2018, 12:06 AM

#

but there will be 2 at least

stable plover Sep 2, 2018, 12:12 AM

#

@pliant sparrow There are freeholds, which are a plot of land you can own out in the world and construct buildings / farms /etc. on - There's in node housing, which are non-instanced housing plots in nodes, Nodes gain more of these as they level and the ones the node already had grow larger - and then there's instanced apartments with access from apartment buildings that nodes can choose to develop

vapid harbor Sep 2, 2018, 12:16 AM

When is the stress test for everyone for free?

proven arrow Sep 2, 2018, 12:27 AM

They said A1 testers would have access for a few weeks before they open up the Battle Royale mode up to anyone with a registered account.

So probably some time in October

I can ask Steven to specify at the meet and greet tonight.

If you weren’t around when the Kickstarter happened, is there another way/package that one can buy in order to get access to a beta or alpha along with the tier 3 cosmetics for character creation?

#

I looked at the webpage. I know about the pre-order packs but do they give access to the tier 3 customization? Because I didn’t see that in their descriptions.

#

Aww that kinda sucks, will there be any way to get it in the future? Because I’m just thinking about those of us that weren’t here when the Kickstarter happened.

Dang, okay, it was worth asking. Still hyped for the game though. Thanks for the help @simple ether
