burnt wraith
They've even reached the mmorpg's is no where safe
tulip hatch
battlegrounds are pretty typical its just a last man standing type of arena mode
burnt wraith
They even got Alluring. Well it's like they say if ya can't beat em join em I suppose
novel ice
Battle grounds are in pretty much every mmo lol.
Its a good idea too, to have an extra "release" for pvpers who want to fight, but dont want corruption on them. Especially if there isnt a open conflict going on atm. And more options is always better
Also @tulip hatch did Steven say how/when players would get access to A1? I'm a kickstarter backer so I would assume it would be through email this week?
tulip hatch
No that information was not provided yet, hopefully soon..tm
How itll be distributed hasnt been mentioned either though email would be the standard way
Please remember alpha 0 is still under NDA
Alpha 0 related questions must be kept inside the alpha 0 channels
glass swallow
Client files access, Login credentials etc have not yet been announced. I anticipate having more detail early next week. Typically these credentials are via email so please ensure that you add @IntrepidStudios.com as a known contact to your mail carrier.
dim mulch
Will there be multi monitor support or tabs such as inventory or world map that can unclip from the game window?
Also what is the expected amount of time a node will lvl up between each lvl? Is it going to be able to be maxed out in a days time, or will it take a few days/weeks to max out a city?
tulip hatch
this is what intrepid told us regarding the approximate growth time nodes would take
Expedition (Few hours)
Encampment (Many hours)
Village (Few days)
Town (Many days)
City (Few weeks)
Metropolis (Many weeks)
surreal elk
@dim mulch http://aocwiki.net/Nodes
surreal elk
it gave you the times on how long nodes will level has a chart and everything......... @dim mulch look harder
dim mulch
Ah my bad, I see it now
Definately glad it will take a good amount of time, feared it may be 1 and done
cold spire
so in alpha 1 everyone is gonna be able to try out the game regardless you bought one of the founders pack or not ? and if this is accurate info how do i try it out how do i download the game and stuff or is that option not available yet ?
tulip hatch
After approximately 4 months of normal alpha 1 testers access an open stress test will be available to everyone that has a registered account
there is no information regarding how or when these individuals will get this information as of yet
cold spire
thank you very much im hella excited gonna keep an eye on that
digital yacht
@cold spire keep in mind u only have access after that period of 4 months to the Phase 1 of Alpha
basically for large scale pvp stress testing
cold spire
oh so is not happening this month ?i thought for what i read that is gonna be open the 3rd week of september
digital yacht
to backers with Braver of Worlds
or better
as Alluring said after roughly 4months of Closed Alpha 1 Phase 1 testing it will be open to all Registered Users on the website
tulip hatch
The pre stress test is starting this week for alpha 1 testers only
Then the normal alpha 1 for alpha 1 testers only begins for 4 months
Then the open stress test begins for 1 month
It will return to closed testing after
cold spire
so the open alpha test will be up untill dec-jan unless i get an alpha key right ? which is unavailable rn ? like i should've buy it earlier or is there a chance that i can get into the alpha 1 test ?
digital yacht
atm there is no way to gain access to Alpha 1 Phase 1 unless u are a Kickstarter of the 500$ pack or Summer Backer or WebStore purchase
all respectively 500$
torn jolt
is there any information about class changingif you want something else? There are too many to choose, no way to know what fits you the best
bitter sparrow
Shadow, how can i know i check on which account i activated my kickstarter maybe you know?
digital yacht
UR first Class is picked at the beginning
ur secondary can be swapped numerous times(not free and not on the fly)
most likely at a npc
torn jolt
There is a source or youe specs?
torn jolt
Ty shadow
cold spire
thank you @digital yacht you've beein really helpfull really appreciate it π
digital yacht
Neko log into your and use this link
if the account u kickstarted on has this kind of info https://i.imgur.com/clPM3QM.png
ie my package
@bitter sparrow
np @cold spire that website can answer alot of questions its kept up to date after every bit of info is brought out by steven
its good to read if u got some spare time
autumn trellis
Yup, I second that AoC wiki is a great source of info. Also if you look at the discord channels under Ashes Community there is Community Sites. It contains some great links to basically all the info we have currently regarding AoC form the studios.
bitter sparrow
@digital yacht thanks a lot! may be you know how i can change my account email?
digital yacht
hmm prob have to contact support notsure if the mods can do hat stuff for you best bet is to ask @tulip hatch first and see what she says
autumn trellis
I don't believe mods can do anything regarding that (the discord ones) go ahead and give them an email instead cs@intrepidstudios.com @bitter sparrow
torn jolt
About skilltree, the points I put i skills are changeable? I can downgrade points as many times as I want?
analog bay
If you mean your email attached to the ashes website. You just go into your profile and change it. If i misunderstood the question disregard.
digital yacht
@torn jolt not sure if we have info on skill pt resets yet but im, sure it wont be clicking a minus sign and adding them else where its prob a sspend gold at this vendor type deal
torn jolt
@digital yacht I tell you what,because a lot of pvp is included 1v1,3v3,5v5
I am talking about the competetive/ladder types, a skillpoints reset is necessey to adjust yourself to your opponent
digital yacht
yea not 100% as i dont think its been 100% stated anywhere on how the skill resetting will be handled
i just thought of a good question that was prob not answered yet... as we saw inthe combat video last week(or 2 weeks ago) a ranger can crit with a headshot.. can healers crit heals and how? a chance or another algorithm?
proven arrow
@torn jolt you won't be swapping quickly or on the fly, but you can respec your augments, weapon skills and secondary class, but none of them will be quick or cheap or on the fly. You will mostly have to just live with the decisions you make.
dusk inlet
Working site ru version https://aoc.mail.ru and EU version https://aoc.my.com/en . The FAQ does not mention the payment models of the game. If you 100% know that it will be a" Subscription", it is possible to specify it?
digital yacht
@idle siren why does EU/RU get gifts why not me? I like gifts π
crystal beacon
sad feeling that it will take more than a year before I can play the game π
fast gulch
How can we expect to be communicated to if we have a Kickstarter package that gave Alpha 1? They just say we will hear by the end of september?
stone fulcrum
@digital yacht why dont i see that if i go to faq section? π€
mild bear
<@&257269635559194625> Will attack speed be the inverse of weapon damage ? Will movement speed be the inverse of armour rating ?
crystal beacon
in the game there will be a system of random objects? You go up that mountain and find a chest with things
ruby swift
@fast gulch You will receive an email with all the relevant instructions when your access becomes available. Make sure that Intrepid emails aren't automatically shuttled to your promotions or junk folders since they do batch mailings and some programs think they are spam. If you have marked the previous newsletters and emails as safe you should have no problems. You just have to wait, they haven't forgotten you, and when it is time for your access you will be notified.
torn jolt
@digital yacht headshot is only available with action combat so let's say for healers they will have targeted heal and aiming heal.
Targeted heal will be the lowest.
Aiming heal will have a range(100-200 health points) the more accurate you are the greater the amout.
Just an idea
mild bear
@crystal beacon Resources will spawn in an area until depleted and then respawn elsewhere. It may be that some resources are biome/node specific (local/regional only) and others are global. Some will be common and others rare. I dont believe we have confirmation that that principle applies specifically to chests. I would assume that it would. However most resources are random, chests have been placed in a specific spot by a specific person. So the rules for random and non-random resource distribution may well differ.
@torn jolt They could implement head/body/leg specific skills that the player chooses. Each compromised in unique ways for tab targetting. Player choice equals build variety with a limited toolbar.
arctic cradle
are there any information's about what happens when you die in game?
cedar talon
arctic cradle
thanks! 
torn jolt
2 questions
Can 1 player win a 3 vs 1?
How important is gear? If I have low gear do I even have a chance to win someone with high gear?
raven niche
I think it's safe to say that you will be able to 1vX
obtuse shale
will there be external ballistics?
teal nebula
atm there is no ballistic ( but i dont know so they implement it later )
oak plume
Will a player have to clear a trail between node hubs, or will it auto create a path for caravans? Does the player themselves need to have been at both nodes , or does it take into account that someone has already visited the other node?
teal nebula
The nodes make this automaticly and you can travel than on this , you can select than between the routes you like to go ,
oak plume
cool answers the first one what about second?
teal nebula
no other must go there bevore to can travel there , like between 2 towns in real live they build an road between the towns and we passanger can travel there without working for this road ( eventually hidden ways can be possible that someone must visit it before )
fast gulch
@ruby swift thank you!
oak warren
With the new news information about the early A1 going to the early purchasers, how will we find this out? I happen to have taken a week from work just incase it was available this week (as given in the email).
lethal pollen
you'll receive an email if you're selected
pliant urchin
Is pre-alfa 1 testing under NDA?
empty fjord
I really hope the building of road between nodes will be done by either players, or automatic gathering quests in said nodes, has any mention regarding this been made?
tulip hatch
@pliant urchin The Stress Test before Alpha 1 is still TBD we dont know if there is or isnt an NDA for it just yet
pliant urchin
Ok, tnx
dire roost
@digital yacht Where did u find that gift ?
trim bloom
@dire roost Gift is for EU players, and youll get it on launch. You get it set on your account by creating your account on aoc.my.com
empty fjord
trying to lure us to make my.com accounts with gifts eh? we don't have to do that tho if we plan on playing on NA? or are we required to do so during Alpha1/2 or beta tests tho?
novel peak
@idle siren Are Monster Tokens obtained in the Kickstarter packages "stack-able"? if the Founder's package gets 10 'Legion Tier' tokens, and the 'Warrior of Old' gets 10 Legion Tier tokens, does that mean that the 'Braver of Worlds' supporters get 20 Legion Tier tokens in addition to the 5 Elite Tier tokens? Also, I read something about the tokens being keyed to certain monsters. So, are these tokens consumable, or does a Kickstarter Supporter retain them forever and get to use them often for each monster you have a coin for?
dry peak
Hi guys! I was planing to play the game with a friend but i've just readed the wiki and the fact that the game looks realy hard if you want to chill with a friend without being a part of a bigger community. Im afraid to revive an albion online like from my pov. Do you think its possible to play as "casual"?
fair yew
from what I understand of the monster coins (I had this question the other day) they don't disappear. each coin has a monster ID# tied to it at the level (legion, elite, epic) and the continued use of the coin allows you to gain xp for that monster to improve your skills @novel peak
there can only be so many of each monster id# in an event which would be the purpose of multiple coins
novel peak
@dry peak Absolutely Possible Fokko; you could go into the game and set up a shop or just gather materials if that is all you choose to do. Lots of previous talk on this topic, and a lot of opportunity for Casual and Hardcore players, as well as everywhere in between.
@fair yew thanks Arodicus, that is what I thought I read into it; and what I was hoping for.
dry peak
Thanks @novel peak
abstract swift
@idle siren During that stress test next week, is the NDA lifted or will that be under NDA as well? Technically its alpha 1, but you may consider it Pre-Alpha 1 P 1 XD!
If so, when will the NDA on Alpha 1 be officially lifted?
trim bloom
atomic lodge
I'm pretty sure Steven said there would be no NDA in Alpha 1 testing.
tulip hatch
Alpha 1 and the Stress test are different and should be addressed separately, so until a statement is made for the Stress Test its TBD
ruby swift
Cant require NDA on a paid product that wasnt agreed to ahead of time.
oak warren
There will be no NDA on A1 testing. There was on A0, however it seems the game is only marketing through hype and word of mouth. It would be a really bad stance to put NDA on what is essentially the publics first opinion.
ruby swift
The game has not entered its "traditional" marketing phase yet. It will closer to launch which is over a year away. And the no NDA has nothing to do with public relations, they can't legally enforce a NDA on something that has been sold as a product. A1 testing access was sold as part of packages in KS and every phase after including their own website. A0 was given away so it falls under different laws.
glass swallow
Alpha Stress test is not a paid for test phase. It is a load test prior to Alpha 1. Current understanding is that it may be under NDA. We should know for sure shortly.
ruby swift
They are basing it off of packages sold. They going to walk a scary line if someone refuses and they deny them access.
trim pebble
hello, will dungeons have pvp features ?
ruby swift
All open world ones will have a pvp element in that another individual or group could attack you if they so choose. They would be subject to the same flagging mechanics that apply to the open world. If you are saying are there dungeons where flagging mechanics have been suspended, then so far they have not mentioned that.
rich cape
Hello team, I have some questions about a purchase I made and the website display
is it possible to have some time with moderators?
glass swallow
Good morning. Help with purchases is handled via the helpdesk tickets actually. The moderator team, as volunteers does not have access to accounts, website, packages etc
If it is a general question, yes perhaps the moderator team can help
rich cape
Oh ok thank you for your time
weak umbra
Hey guys is there a content creator partner program for aoc?
tulip hatch
Yes there is
weak umbra
Nice is there a list of qualifications?
tulip hatch
Here is the link which includes requirements, benefits and expectations

tulip hatch
You are very welcome
weak umbra
Very recently been getting really excited about the game definitely want to stream it
rich cape
Question, what will be the life spam of the servers / maps ?
Will you keep your store purchased skins from one map to another ?
100 players per map seems to be little players for a big world
rich cape
oh, is there a PvP map and a PvE map ?
opal isle
There are pvp battlegrounds and then there is the huge PvX map
opal isle
Actually its a PvX map, there will be pvp out there and normal pve enviroments
rich cape
So will sieges have eventually more than 100 players active ?
opal isle
I do not know that, For know all i know is that they are testing 100 player sieges for alpha 1
rich cape
oh ok ok that's what I heard on stream, I got a little scared ^^
Thank you!
Last question, the main world will have general wipes or will it be a continuous mmo like world ?
opal isle
Continuous as far as we know. But the cities/nodes can be seiged and basically ruined
rich cape
That's awsome, I know about the destruction function of the cities, I was just wondering that a major City could have the entire map claimed with a good organisation and thus it wouldn't be a fair world ^^'
cedar talon
The world of Ashes is a sandbox world with no wipes. There has been said that there will be 10k concurrent players at once on each server.
The map is also the size of a small country
upbeat yarrow
@tulip hatch hey c: how long will we be able to upgrade our packs? like will it still be available throughout the alphas/betas?
cedar talon
KS pack? Intrepid will make an annoucement well before they stop allowing it
upbeat yarrow
yeah KS
I figured but if we have a set idea like "oh it's going to end right before beta 1" then i'd like to know haha
cedar talon
Steven was asked this before and all we know is that they will let us know in time
solar marlin
Hey! Are the Pre-Order packs featuring limited edition exclusives? (Mainly referring to items in regards to housing)
empty fjord
yes they are, they are limited to this month, never to be seen again
trim bloom
Yea the items change once in a while
empty fjord
I mean this month's pack, not calendar month
ruby swift
Since they were late in August, expect them to persist through September, then beginning Oct to see the Halloween themed cosmetics. Thats my story and Im stickin to it.
hallow river
I purchased the braver of worlds Kickstarter pack last summer that included alpha 1 access. Are there any specific actions I have to take to ensure that I'm in alpha 1 or should it be an automatic inclusion based on the fact that I bought that pack?
empty fjord
you will get an email with the stuff needed for A1
supposedly we will get access to an Alpha 1 channel here on the discord aswell
novel peak
Earlier this year, Intrepid was showing a combat system which involved a sliding scale for hitting a second keystroke to make the attack do more damage, similar to the Pet Training window in Bless Online... Two questions... Are they still looking into utilizing that sort of combat interface? If they are, would that in effect kill all options on Key Binding and macro's for combat?
cosmic ledge
any word on system reqa?
teal nebula
@cosmic ledge u shoud can play aoc with an 5 year old pc ... not more π
burnt wraith
Are they planning to do anything with unarmed fighting?
olive urchin
@brisk charm Anyone know when we know who are the Lucky guys who can play next week ?
teal nebula
@olive urchin only they ho get email
digital yacht
actually he said it should start this week, and im sure we'll know when that first guy gets an email and brags or steven will send out a pm saying emails have been sent
sour valley
@novel peak i think they got rid of thag system
glass swallow
Emails have not yet been sent. That is #FakeNews
slate snow
Stupid question... If I was to buy the expenditionary pre order pack ($150), it would include 4 months of play time, but will that time be used during my time in the beta? if the beta was 5 months long and i bought the package with the long name, would I have to pay for my last month of beta and all of my play-time in the actual game?
teal nebula
Hello guys my question is , someone have an recording or text from asked questions in the hilten seatle hotel meeting ?
tulip hatch
@slate snow Sub time from packs are not counted until the live launch

Thank you π
stark pike
when will the Server Stress test happen?
the free one
where they give our free access for a few days to all sign uped memembers
whats happening this week?
ah
so alpha is starting soon?
regal comet
so what if a person wants to start a YouTube channel for ashes but doesn't have a large follow to be a content creator, how would said person get their audiance
stark pike
do it yourself
placid karma
I posted this on the forums but Do specific nodes affect what you can receive in drops? Ex:Economy nodes more money or rare valuable items scientific for resources religious armor or trinkets and military for weapons from both player and mob?
stark pike
work hard like everyone does and not leach off of others

my affiliate link shows 1 visit, but no sign up... and i know for a fact they signed up
they're 5 states away, but i know for a fact they signed up
they're a cousin
cedar talon
Message support
placid karma
Well I think it's a pretty interesting and different concept if they see it I hope it happens help influence which nodes to choose in areas since you may only be able to get certain thing with a specific node leveled up maybe encourage more reasons for siege
pliant sparrow
my issue was solved, they needed to verify their email
mild wadi
<@&257269635559194625> What do you predict the system requirements will be for Ashes of creation. How can you optimize your games performance so that anyone who can pay 15$ a month can play and not just those who pay 2, 3, 4 grand for a rig.
river vault
Is there an official timeline for the upcoming events surrounding alpha one, stress test, modes, etc? I've heard so many versions I'm rather confused.
pliant sparrow
will AoC be available for linux
rose breach
@mild wadi hello, just a quick tip since ashes is being run on the unreal4 engine go and check what the minimum requirements are for that. Thatβs usually how youβd find out the minimum specs
tulip hatch
@river vault @pliant sparrow Linux support wont be available at launch however it may occur in the future according to intrepid
forest tendon
Hey all I'm a little confused about what was announced on september first and wanted to know where i can go to get some clarification
forest tendon
I'm confused about the post in the news channel about us getting access in order of purchase what exactly does that mean?
I know that there is going to be limited testers but how would i know if im choosen?
or even eligible
tulip hatch
You will be informed via email typically unless intrepid decides another method
You are chosen from a high to low tier order
KS first highest packs first to lowest then summer same order then store
forest tendon
Braver of worlds and above right?
nocturne moss
Yes braver of worlds and above
pliant sparrow
does anyone know if monster coins would let me take over a monster, and just stand still so my friends can kill it without damaging any of their buildings?
meager dragon
I'm pretty sure they are including that in their comments about working to make sure the monster coin system can't be gamed
pliant sparrow
if i was to suggest a simple solution; rage meter; if you're not being effective enough it purges you from it's system
this mixed with the other system they have in place would make it flawless i think
burnt wraith
I mean you could probably just run around attack a building here and there and then just get merc'd
pliant sparrow
maybe not absolutely flawless
but better than not
the rage meter would have to be super fucking tight to avoid what you mentioned
the only alternative to a rage meter would be making it autoattack and stuff, and try to push you towards attacking things, leaving the player mostly attempting to guide it without having full control
oak warren
Hey community people! From what I am seeing it looks like us bravest of worlds shall enter, within the week or next few months. What is the thing you are looking forward to most? Mine will be the RP of a resource gather and homeowner. I am excited to see how interactions with you shall shape my destiny!

Hello Belle! I have a question as to permission on usage of the videos posted by the Ashes of Creation YouTube Channel, as in, is it okay to use them in creating an Alpha 1 Launch/Guild Recruitment Video?

velvet narwhal
<@&257269635559194625> What are your plans for giving people with Color Vision Deficiency (aka Color Blindness) options to adjust color schemes and UI elements in the game? I have played other games before that offer colorblind options that completely fail at providing people with easily differentiated colors.
crystal beacon
why did they pick my.com as publisher for eu when steven said they would be self publishing
silent lantern
@crystal beacon Because they can. They have only mentioned self-publishing when in regards to NA.
tulip hatch
There have been many statements made by intrepid regarding the choice in publisher
You can see these statements in #news and in pinned messages in #aoc-discussion
dreamy olive
@silent lantern actual over the last two years Steven has made several statement about publishing. First made no distinction between NA and EU, EU statements started to change in 2018.
crystal beacon
@silent lantern because they can is a pretty shitty explaination that might aswell shouldnt have been written out, if the thought process of changing their mind on things they have said is"cuz they can" then it has really bad implications on that nothing they ever said matters
dreamy olive
@crystal beacon exactly saying you will do one thing then doing another does not build trust nor confidence
crystal beacon
all i wanted to know about was the thought process behind it since i couldnt find anything about it other as to why they chose my.com and not other publishers, not why they changed their mind about self publishing in the first place
tulip hatch
Back in April steven informed us that intrepid may not be able to self publish in EU due to publishing law hurdles
Once again I direct you to the pinned messages in #aoc-discussion and the statement in #news
dreamy olive
@crystal beacon Steven said they talked to multiple publishers but only my.com would agree to his terms
crystal beacon
yes like i said, that was the only thing i gathered
dreamy vale
But it doesn't change anything at least
tulip hatch
Remember this is a questions and answers channel keep additional comments/opinions/ discussions to the appropriate channels
dreamy vale
I know it was just for "confirm"
Cause i wasn't sure x)
dreamy olive
@tulip hatch in April said "legal" hurdles but then for example in the VC after the My.com annoucemrnt he only mentioned costs and time issues. Making this statement for the completeness of answers.
tulip hatch
Publishing laws are the legal hurdles, and require additional costs to meet many of these laws to self publish as they differ a great deal from NA publishing laws
crystal beacon
wouldnt some of these hurdles, such as gdpr, still apply if they let eu players on na servers? since eu citizens cant give away rights and eu laws apply to the physical location of the person rather than virtual?
tulip hatch
Im not entirely sure how that works unfortunately, I'd save that for a live stream Q&A for the devs to answer
dreamy olive
@crystal beacon not really, these laws cannot really be enforced oitside the region that creates them.
You could try taking civil action against a none EU country in an EU court but there isn't a way really to enforce judgment
dark jungle
Some yes
ruby swift
@pliant sparrow About your question earlier about the monster coin system. The events are random and you will not be able to participate in a node that you are a citizen of. Your character does not turn into a monster, more that you are teleported out of body to the site of the battle. Once the event is finished then you are teleported back. Your concerns that you would be able to game the system by just standing there and allowing your friends to hit you would be an extremely small chance and would not happen twice. While you may have friends in another node that is under attack, the odds of you all being on at the same time and the chance of you getting into their event has been looked at, and systems are in place to prevent it.
pliant sparrow
"Your character does not turn into a monster, more that you are teleported out of body to the site of the battle." do you have a source for this
so i can show my friend
ruby swift
Yes, look at the video where they turn into rabbits. Then find the livestream where they address your concerns and clearly explain the system. @dark jungle has sources for all this too.
pliant sparrow
i couldnt possibly watch every single live stream but i can search for a rabbit video...
ruby swift
Early video from last year, dungeon crawl where they become monsters at the end. Aocwiki.net will have the relevant source tags on their monster coin page probably too.
jovial charm
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1At83ext_b8 might have your answer
unfortunately at work, so no sound π’ to check what is being said
silent lantern
@pliant sparrow I mean, yea. There are 3 streams in total that are about 50-60 minutes tops. I can't find 50 minutes out of my 8 hour free time to do that π
pliant sparrow
if it's pulling away players from far away places, who couldn't possibly or very unlikely have any ties, that would be a good way to avoid predispositions
ruby swift
Yep, you dont use the coin and become a monster where you are positioned...you are moved to the event.
pliant sparrow
glad you're up to the task @silent lantern
this what you're talking about or no? @ruby swift
video will start at a preset time
silent lantern
@pliant sparrow Was being sarcastic, but yes. You can also find the streams on twitch on their channel.
pliant sparrow
@silent lantern so was i
torn jolt
Steven talked about character page and some unique roleplay staff, though I wondered if people want their name to be hidden from others unless they are in party with them, guild etc
Will this be an option in the game?
pliant sparrow
@torn jolt i don't know for sure, but i've been following their questions/answers pretty hard and i've not seen them mention hiding your own name, i will say that you'll likely be able to hide names that you personally see, client sided, considering they are using unreal engine as the platform
"Founder was a backer package in the Kickstarter and Summer crowdfunding campaigns." @ whoever deleted their message
and that package is gone, so yes it's too late
torn jolt
@pliant sparrow thanks for the answer
If I want to make a suggestion about it what would be the best way?
pliant sparrow
@torn jolt stay a member of this discord, and they will eventually ping you about a news update the next time they do a live Q/A(questions and answers) feed on twitch, you would then go there and post your question and hope it gets picked
the creator also randomly enters this chat and answers people's questions, but you wont receive a message ping when that happens...
so your best bet would be waiting for the live stream and hoping they acknowledge your answer
all of which seems like a hassle for a simple question like that though, if i was you i'd just wait until later days and your question will eventually be answered when the game is launched
hiding your own name in a way that disallows other players from seeing it would be highly controversial
you could also work arround that issue by simply being a rogue, because when you're invisible your name is gone
cedar talon
Intrepid doesnβt use this chat. Your best bet is to be in #aoc-discussion when Steven appears and give him a subtle @. You can also make a suggestion on the forums or make it a question for the livestream
pliant sparrow
excuse my choice of word
speaking of the devil, he just logged on @torn jolt
the creator is named steven, type @ before typing his name and ask the question here or in #ashes, he'll see your ping either way

@solar marlin yes
in fact, there is even going to be "stock investments for guilds" no further details on that yet, but if you know what stocks are that's awesome
there will also be guild castles and guild territories
and guild vs guilds
and the guild leaders of the guilds that obtain castles get flying dragon mounts, very few mounts in the game can fly

no idea
but most likely, i'd be surprised if they didn't, i just can't say "yes i know for sure"
@ancient forge , also, even though it's too late to get into alpha, the last test before launch will be a final stress test and all players are welcome to jump in

They have never guaranteed EU servers for testing, they have said that there would be at least 2-3 world servers, but they have never specifically said that there would be EU for testing. We know that you are 35 percent of the playerbase, but whether that number is that high for number of packs bought with testing access or just free accounts made overall was also not clarified. So wait and see, and be happy with whatever you get. It isn't like they are sitting there twirling mustachios and saying "Fuck them Euro peoples" in their lair.

You can see these statements in #news and in pinned messages in the #aoc-discussion channel
hoary timber
Not too sure if this is the right place for this, but is there a reason we can't purchase buildings stand-alone?
tulip hatch
To clear that up, the "buildings" in the cash shop are only skins for in game buildings-
You can only purchase the stand alone items of the equivalent tier you have
Since buildings are in the highest tier package you would need the highest tier package to purchase any additional building skins as stand alones
hoary timber
I understand the "skins", I should have clarified that. Thanks! I must have missed that last part of being able to purchase items as stand-alone/ala cart. Looks like I need to find another $250 to buy up into the $500 tier, haha.
Thanks for the quick reply!
tulip hatch
The price of the highest tier package has been dropped to 375 since alpha 1 access was removed
Youre welcome
hoary timber
Oh snap. Didn't even notice that. Thats much easier to budget for. I would have liked to have had a system like Behaviour did with WH40k: EC. Buy-in as a point based system and then used those points to select what you wanted. I bought-in at a package I wasn't really excited for but knew I wouldn't have had the money later for it. Of course, this is in terms of skins/mounts/cosmetics.

<@&257269635559194625> we, the european people that are here since the kikstarter, are worried about what my.com could do to Ashes of Creation. We all know they have a pay-to-win model on free-to-play mmos and I know you ensure us this will not happen with Ashes under no circumstances but this is my question: will you accept refunds or free server changes (From EU to NA, for example) if my.com makes this game pay-to-win? I trust you, but not them. Thanks.

@crystal beacon Refunds are only given withing 30 days of purchase which is more than EU law requires. Plus server changes are not a thing yet and will hopefully not be a thing at all for swapping from EU to NA

Under EU there will be seperated servers or only channels?

@torn jolt
4. Will there be one server for the whole European community or separate server for each country (Germany, Spain, France and so on)?
There will be separate servers [For each country?] Thereβs localization that will be present in the German/French/Russian languages to start, and then we tend to localize also in Italian, Polish and Spanish, so servers will be allocated within the region as being one of those language type servers, so itβs not gonna be per country per se as it might be per language.

Will there be legendary items that are super unique?
Imagine seeing a knight with a Medusa helmet that has animated snakes and having the ability to do a CC cone every couple minutes, or a tank with a badass dragon shield that can spray fire out of it.
Basically I'm just asking if the super rare items will actually be worth getting it unlike some games where legendaries are just for stats.
tulip hatch
Legendaries in ashes will be truly legendaries they will take a lot of time and effort to find/craft
you may not even see one for years
light elm
@shy cobalt a lot of the gear /weapons you find will have customisable options so that you can be unique from day one
That is visually. Not sure about the individual skills at this stage
uncut reef
If they can be player crafted, good. Otherwise i think devs need to be careful about unique high stat items that can be owned. It can be divisive if not implemented properly.
shy cobalt
Yeah I see what your talking about, but for when I kill a boss and get a super rare drop I want it to be worth the time I put in and actually have some sort of unique effect/ability that makes it stand out from other normal gear drops. Not necessarily have insane stats, for me it more visual, and ability based, with slightly increased stats.
proven arrow
They definitely won't be legendary items that drop like candy in wow
Jeff told me at the party, think Jedi unlocking quest from swg.
uncut reef
looting mechanisms? I cant remember reading anything yet (and may have missed it). Please... please say there's no Need or Greed mechanisms...
shy cobalt
Yeah that's what I want to hear Zeke, games like wow make the "rare items" drop so frequently they don't even feel unique or special.
proven arrow
Need greed is in the game, as well as all traditional forms of party loot
uncut reef
sorry to hear it. but what do you mean by "traditional forms of part loot"?
proven arrow
There will even be a auction loot mode where you bid in party with money to buy the item, but all forms of party loot are chosen by the party leader.
Master looter, round robin, need greed. Those are traditional

ah ok, thanks for the straight answer Zeke, it is appreciated, even if i dont like the answer. I'm actually gutted.

Remember it's an mmo, there's not a lot they can really do outside the box in that regard.

there actually is, and its already been done. Need or Greed (and the variants) are completely unnecessary
GW1 and 2 and City of Heroes and multiple other games have used different mechanisms for this

That isn't good for the economy

Remember this isn't some casual handholdy mmo
But anyway this is a question's channel
Discuss in #aoc-discussion
shy cobalt
I hope they get the way loot should feel getting right, you know you and your party just slayed a bunch of beasts and killed some terrible boss/monster. You should be excited to get an awesome price of gear, unlike WOW, where you kill a raid boss and your just like nice some level 340 boots, I want it to be some cool unique items that actually get you hyped up from getting it

it doesn't have to be, its actually unhelpful to start with those terms, given that "casual" vs "hardcore" doesn't really consistently mean anything

@idle siren do you plan to add mini games/fair like area. Ex. WoW's dark moon fair. Revelation online's fairy island (giant game board). GW2's 8-bit retro world. Something separate from the actual game that is fun to just do? I've always wanted to see a maze world, a difficult maze for sure. Carnival type games are always fun.

silent lantern
@gentle briar The question is If the gear will alter your class skills. I don't think wearing a sword while being a ranger with arrow skills will change the arrow skills.
gentle briar
@silent lantern well depends. He can equip a 1 handed Sword with 1 handed X Bow if that is a possibility but im talking about the general concept of skills that CAN be used with those weapons that doesn't need extra materials like arrows to use. will they be altered to assist that weapon even further? Best example i can give is Sword Mage. The skills are built to assist the sword even further rather than just only cast skills like fireball even though that is still an option depending on the spec.
Will certain skills further augment because the TYPE of skill it is or only be restricted?
I ask this because if we were thinking in black n white. Then Sword Mage would have never been a thing at all or even half of these classes.
silent lantern
@gentle briar I would think of it more as a Spell Blade/Knight. Meaning.. Whatever weapon you pick for melee will be able to utilize the skills for melee. For example setting your blade on fire to deal fire/burning damage...
Of couse they can make it so that the same skill gives different bonuses to different melee weapons as well. We will have to wait and see i guess
gentle briar
@silent lantern yep. Hopefully they see it and answer accordingly w/ the mindset of how they are willing to use the unrestricted weapons to all classes. Just hope its not ; Hey you can use this weapon but just be restricted on what skills you can use and how basic attacks look.. It would be a big missed opportunity imo.
mild sage
So whatβs the deal with the company which will be publishing AoC in Europe?

@gentle briar I doubt you will be restricred to a single weapon type for any skill. They want the game to be highly customizable im terms of builds soo

Will certain skills further augment because the TYPE of skill it is or only be restricted?
pliant sparrow
@gentle briar The mage will likely not have skills specific to the sword.
gentle briar
Pretty much what im trying to say is. 2 Players end up with the same Main/Sub class result but chose different weapons and armor. Are their play styles gnna be very different via augmentation from weapon if that IS implimented like how Subs effect main skills or is it just gnna be what skills are usable compared to expected weapon to use
well why would that be? it's not RESTRICTED To use it? so what are the options to not adapt skills towards that? since we do not get MORE skills depending on sub or wep choices. they just ALTER skills
pliant sparrow
@gentle briar Having different weapons will change your play style.
gentle briar
the question is to figure that out @pliant sparrow
is it via augmentation, skills boosted via DPS / Utlity or just what is available to use from the deck of cards
pliant sparrow
@gentle briar To know; "in what way" different weapons will change your play style, you would need to know the abilities of each weapon in the game... A game which has not been released...
@gentle briar From a developers perspective your question cannot be answered at this point in time.
gentle briar
i will wait for that statement from them
pliant sparrow
@gentle briar you don't need to wait xD it's just how it is
gentle briar
You don't know that . _ .
pliant sparrow
it's going to be that way until the game is released
gentle briar
you aren't a dev
silent lantern
@gentle briar yea, since gear gives you some abilities too.. the play style of bow vs sword will be vastly different.. but let's say you switch from sword to polearm? You will have a different dynamic for sure, but not as different as bow vs sword.
pliant sparrow
i know that it will be that way until the game is released...
gentle briar
questions like this will not wait for release because it would have been worked on already way before release. wym.
wether its late alpha 1 or 2 when it was fully updated of what they were able to do or finalized how they want to use the weapons

Bwst thing to do is wait and see what happens. These are details that have not been fleshed out yet

@silent lantern i wonder if that will be the case 2. will the gear or weapon have skills attached aside from A1 that is test all skills out
silent lantern
And it eos be interesting to discover to be honest
gentle briar
there's alot of possibilties w/ unlocked wep restrictions
silent lantern
Heavy metal summoner with a shield and battle hammer.... I sense a lot of death π
gentle briar
you can have 1 skill have already 8 potentially different versions of itself due to the sub class then more different versions on top of the wep you choose
would be crazy 
silent lantern
@gentle briar From what i have read the sub class will alter the class skills, not the gear skills.
silent lantern
Doubtful

it is a ton of work but even if it aided in some way would be nice

@junior flint They have stated that they plan to self-publish in SEA/OCE with the caveat that if they run into significant difficulty that would prevent the timely release of Ashes they could go with a publisher. As of right now we know that OCE servers are confirmed, and since there is no overarching legislation that covers that region of the world that would affect publishing they just need to find a datacenter option, cloud or otherwise, that works for them. Since we know from latest statement that 50% of accounts are NA, 35% are EU, and the last 15% are "other" do not expect to be the highest priority when it comes to answers.

If you want to use the #aoc-guild-recruitment channels you need to get 10 people to use that tag and verified by the powers that be who will then give you access to post in that channel.

Any new info on summoner?

@burnt wraith
oh you said "new"
didn't see
is the Alpha 1 date has been announced?
ruby swift
Random is not the case. There is a definite progression plan based off of tier and backer number as to who gains access credentials when. Lets not start the rabble going "How do I know when I will get access?"

If someone chose a name in the Alpha 1 his name is saved for him "for ever"?
dark jungle
If you have name reservation from kickstarter, summer or the pre-order packs, this will allow you to reserve your name starting alpha-1 phase 2
torn jolt
so all names will be deleted before launch except the ones who got name reservations
cedar talon
yup
torn jolt
some people gonna get their names stolen after the testing phases lol
dark jungle
either don't use your final name or purchase name reservation in the voyager+ pre-order pack
meager dragon
So wait. If yoiu have a name reservation, the name you choose in the alphja is what is reserved? There won't be a specific place to put in the name you want reserved?

We will recieve a message on how name reservation will work don't worry

At PAX 2018 they talked about character customization, people are saying BDO customization is the best but if we actually look at it you can't choose your character body type which is really important in my opinion
Do we have any information about body types customization?
A lot of people choosing female character because she looks more agile and small, the males usually have wide shoulders and seems sluggish
meager dragon
They have said there will be some body customization but not crazy amounts because they need to design the costumes that will fit without stretching
proven arrow
There will be more customization than any other mmo you've seen. Straight from the mouth of Matt Broume(spelling?) At the meet and greet.

Will your chosen race affect the aesthetic of your spells and the animation of your attacks?
ruby swift
Yes and yes
Racials will also affect summons
To what extent is pure speculation atm, but they have said they will be different. Also racial mounts
vapid harbor
So like if I'm a, dwarf and I use that tentacle Cuthulu spell will it looks different to a humans version?
ruby swift
Spell effects will vary based on cosmetic package applied, augments from secondary, and a slew of other factors. Lots of customization. Since we know there are racial augments to certain skills, then your answer is yes, if you apply the relevant augment
vapid harbor
Very cool
Will there be a language dictionary for the races for those that would be interested in learning the words of the racial language?
ruby swift
Not everyone will have the same color fireball. There will be cosmetic spell effects that were earned in Kickstarter for those backers, ones earned in game, and ones for purchase in the store. Cosmetic is just that, will not affect stats. Racial augments are not cosmetics, they may affect stats. On the language note they have not said if they are going that in depth on language. There will of course be lore specific jargon that the masses use over time, but a "I have to learn Orcish to understand this guys chat!" has not been discussed.

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Ashes_of_Creation_Wiki/de
from reading all that stuff, I got a question. On launch notes are said to be level 1. But then how would I go about exploring the world? There are no towns I could place my loot in/restock stuff from. I would not be able to place my house in the open world either, because thats only possible in a tier 3 node (same as buying a house in the node -village).
tulip hatch
Nodes will be level 0
there is a small starter zone
you explore the wild initially
nodes will begin developing as players start killing and gathering materials
fast radish
but that means I can not store my loot in these level 0/1/2 nodes, right?
tulip hatch
well we dont have exact details on storage besides housing storage
proven arrow
You probably won't really need to at those tiers
tulip hatch
So until we have the answer to when storage in the city is available its unknown

It'll be all garbage gear anyway

it wont be (all-) garbage
there are things you will only get in lowlevel nodes, like iron ore

**Welcome to the Ashes of Creation Community** β€I am curious.. Will cities and villages develop only in specific spots predefined in a nkde or will they spawn in a region where the acticity is big?
teal nebula
There are more predifent points in an node and there where are more aktivitty the nera predifnet point evolve @silent lantern
crisp agate
The node itself is the city/village/etc. and is what evolves. Theyβre in predefined spots that theyβll appear and grow based on activity within the associated Zone of Influence (ZOI).
silent lantern
@crisp agate Okay. Let's say players pick a coastal area to do their thing.. So if the predifined point is not there (near the coast) a city wont pop out there but somewhere else? Like, the city will come out inland and not somewhere around the coast and have a dock for ships for example?
crisp agate
If the predefined node associated with the ZOI theyβre working in isnβt on the coast then no, it wonβt show up on the coast. On the plus side, though, T1 pops up fairly quickly and once you see that little camp youβll know where the node will be developing. It doesnβt just pop up as a village so you do have some time to figure out where to invest your efforts/what you want to help level
silent lantern
Hmm. That is certainly limiting in some ways, but it is good. I guess implementing it based purely on the activity would be really really hard. Thanks.
empty fjord
Does a level 0 node have a ZOI? or does you xp you generate just get sucked up by the nearest node?
silent lantern
@empty fjord In that sense my guess would be the nearest predefined node.
sweet umbra
@empty fjord There is no place in the World (maybe on the open sea) that doesn't belong to a zone of influence. no matter what you do, some node will gain XP. Level 0 node just means that there hasn't been enough activity (xp gained within the ZOI) to create a Expedition (smallest camp). check: http://aocwiki.net/Nodes
so the whole world is divided into ZOIs, over 100 confirmed.
silent lantern
@sweet umbra over 9000 ππ
lone nimbus

silent lantern
When summoning a siege ... summon like a golem or something.. Will the summon depend on the prelevant race in the circle? Or will they be the same no matter what? π
pliant sparrow
@silent lantern "Summoners will be able to change appearance of summons and identities with items that can change appearance, which are both earnable in game and through the cosmetic shop."
considering the above quote, there will likely be a base skin, then that base skin would be further modified; so considering the system it would be unlikely for them to have multiple base skins because then they would be indirectly limiting the amount of potential optional skins

@lone nimbus @sweet umbra the moment they visit your referral link, a cookie is stored on their browser, so even if they get navigated away from your original linking page; you will still get credit

Will there be fast travel
old pulsar
No
mystic sorrel
no except within the magic node
vapid harbor
None at all, or between major cities
teal nebula
@vapid harbor no only in sintific nodes and only in the room of this own noad
mystic sorrel
no like a slow caravan that can be killed
vapid harbor
And in swtor
old pulsar
Very slow
vapid harbor
So, what would be the point of using that if people can just easily kill you?
mystic sorrel
People will probably just kill you if they think you are worth the kill. risk/reward PK system
vapid harbor
But if I'm on a fast horse it would be much harder for them to so that
old pulsar
Exactly
vapid harbor
What do you drop when you die?
vapid harbor
So again I wonder, what would be the point of using those carriages? What sorta gatherables like crafting stuff?
mystic sorrel
So the PK may be corrupt. If he attacks you and you win you get some of his gear
higher risk for him/her
old pulsar
The carriages are mostly for transporting goods
mystic sorrel
I would imagine that most of those taxi caravans will make it to the destinations unharmed.
vapid harbor
In comparison to skyrim, how big will the playable area be
pliant sparrow
@vapid harbor they have not compared the game to any other game, they have been asked that question multiple times
vapid harbor
What are they doing to prevent the terrain and scenery from getting stale?
mystic sorrel
now keep in mind travel speeds will make that 480 KM feel even bigger
they are hand crafting the map
pliant sparrow
@vapid harbor the terrain and scenery changes over time due to player interaction and for the seasons of weather
vapid harbor
With that much area are they going to keep it detailed
pliant sparrow
@vapid harbor they are using unreal engine, which allows for outsourcing, making it easy for them to get quality concepts without investing to much time from the developers
proven arrow
13.5x bigger

"purchases "
west solstice
Did you pay 500$+?
paper girder
i dont think so..
west solstice
Then you won't be playing for some time
teal nebula
@pliant sparrow no one asked for purchease the question is Play and all can play a speciffic time alpha one in battle royal mode
pliant sparrow
you keep asking the same question that's already been answered
nocturne moss
I believe he is talking about everyone being able to join phase 1 towards the end. In which case I believe steven just said everyone registered on the site
cedar talon
Register accounts wonβt be playing for a few months. Backers get to test first , once that is done, it is open to the public
You just have to register for it, no certain account age is needed
pliant sparrow
@teal nebula if he didn't know he could play, then how could he know it's too late to purchase, you answered his direct question, but you were misleading him
he cannot join in anymore
and that was likely the purpose of his question
as you can see...
from his follow up questions
paper girder
someone told me in like ahpla one people will get "test the game for time and the account will get like closed till the game will open"
and you telling if ididnt bought a pack
pliant sparrow
yes i did
pliant sparrow
there is a short period where they will let everyone stress test right before launch
that's the best you can do at this time
cedar talon
I just explained to you how it works
pliant sparrow
@paper girder
paper girder
so when this " stress test " is going to happen?
west solstice
There will be a short testing phase of probably a few weeks for everyone. Other than that, you won't be able to play without paying until launch
cedar talon
In the next 3 weeks
paper girder
@west solstice thx
@cedar talon thx
@tulip hatch so.. if i played in that time and the game will be opened. my stuff will still be there?
or i need to open a new account?
tulip hatch
No, no progress will be kept
paper girder
uh? no progress will be kept?
pliant sparrow
@paper girder there will be some cosmetic stuff you can earn that will carry over, but alluring is still correct
tulip hatch
cosmetics you earn in game however will transfer over
tulip hatch
Correct
paper girder
bcs ididnt buy the pack?
tulip hatch
the only people keeping progress would be the headstart people
no, no progress is kept in regards to level/gear
paper girder
so i'll stll have my account like max lvl and my gear there.
but like gold
cosmetics
are all gone?
tulip hatch
You do not keep anything besides cosmetics earned in the alphas-betas
and i dont know if this applies to free testers
paper girder
hm so you telling me i'll lose my lvl and gear but cosmetics i earn in the ahpla
only stayed?
tulip hatch
correct
paper girder
i'll tell you that not rude thats sum bullshit but you do you.
means i'll grind the shit of hell one account but in the end i'll lose all excpet. my cos
sound intesrting
west solstice
Thats why it is an ALPHA
tulip hatch
The purpose of alphas and betas is not to play
it is to test
west solstice
for testing purpose, not for actually playing the game
pliant sparrow
@paper girder have a good day
west solstice
You do not play the game, you test the game.
paper girder
so everyone will lost thier progress?
tulip hatch
so if youre playing the alphas to play then naturally youre not going to enjoy your progress being erased.
paper girder
even if you pay?
tulip hatch
yes
paper girder
ah i thought only who didnt pay
nocturne moss
Everyone loses progress when the game launches
paper girder
so i wont feel that bad
tulip hatch
everyone participating is only testing
paper girder
i dont mind then.
least i'll have the ahpla cos
if i'll play
ok thx for the info @tulip hatch π
tulip hatch
ππ» Take care
bold tusk
although, by "testing" you can learn things about the game prior to others who don't get early access. so you get a mental headstart but not a phsyical
paper girder
you to π
wait question you gonna delete the ahpla account thats have?
if yes how i'll keep my cos?
it will tranter to other account ?
bold tusk
the account doesn't get deleted. just your characters within. your account is always yours
so when you make a character for alpha/beta. they will be deleted. but the account is still the same. same login, same everything
paper girder
i didnt mean my email and password id i meant in gameself they siad " you will get ahpla one cos"
but if they gonna delete the account
how i'll get it?
prob some code stuff. why im even trying
paper girder
ah
silent lantern
When have you seen a game in alpha/beta that deleted the accounts after the testing is done? That would be moronic and would create a mess.
bold tusk
cosmetics are bound to your website account. so when you login to the website to buy skins and access, its the same login to get into the game
digital yacht
U will prob get ur costmetics they ingame mail system
tulip hatch
the account is not deleted the character is theyre not the same thing
silent lantern
@paper girder Don't listen to them
paper girder
@bold tusk cool
so bascily everything excpet your account and cos
wont be deleted
digital yacht
Yes
digital yacht
Yes
paper girder
gotcha
digital yacht
Also another that Steven said might carry over is arena ranking but idk if that will fly til launch
paper girder
i jsut want to test mmo dude
i dont have nothing to play
π’
many of the mmos
are blocked for me
bold tusk
and the skins you get, its not like you get free in game items. they are only skins. so if you have say the raptor mount skin like i do, you have to tame a raptor first, and then apply the skin to it. you don't get a free mount.
paper girder
ididint say i'll get it free mybe gm or something will do a event or i'll buy it in gold shop
and i'll have it.
lets hope ashes wont block my cuntroy
