rp servers tend to have a bit more "relaxed / mature" population

silent lantern Sep 28, 2018, 11:26 PM

#

@reef dagger Run and gun doesn't really translate to me into having an opponent that fights back. We will have to see how much the 'death penalty' will be compared to the corruption received though.\

prime crag Sep 28, 2018, 11:26 PM

#

Well I mean.....every server will be different right? Some people argue it to be a Zero-Sum game where everyone on the server would have an impact.
If you are itching for a full bloodbath PvP experience and join a server that has been planned by the community to be for unofficial RPers or PvErs, you're gonna get the "YOU CAME TO THE WRONG NEIGHBOURHOOD MUTHA******" answer.

#

And possibly be blacklisted

reef dagger Sep 28, 2018, 11:28 PM

#

@silent lantern True, but I'm talking about the fact that people are specifically incentivized to fight back because if they don't they'll drop more gear and have a higher exp loss than if they didn't, so if you run by and hit someone the smartest move for them is to fight back, thus no corruption status.

silent lantern Sep 28, 2018, 11:28 PM

#

If you ruin people's fun in any server you can get blacklisted. I hope that's not a mechanic limited just to RP-ers. Killed too.

reef dagger Sep 28, 2018, 11:28 PM

#

sorry not drop gear but resources

silent lantern Sep 28, 2018, 11:28 PM

#

@reef dagger you drop some of your materials, if you even have any.

reef dagger Sep 28, 2018, 11:28 PM

#

Yeah, if you don't fight back, you lose more than if you did

silent lantern Sep 28, 2018, 11:29 PM

#

And potentially, the penalty for the pk-er will be way higher than what you might lose if he even kills you.

reef dagger Sep 28, 2018, 11:30 PM

#

Yeah potentially considering they'll be roughly 4x more penalty and the potential to drop gear, but why just let someone kill you occurring an increase of -exp and debuffs/resource drops if you can defend yourself and kill the guy who attacks you.

crystal beacon Sep 28, 2018, 11:31 PM

#

Everyone, while this is interesting, could we move it to #aoc-discussion please

silent lantern Sep 28, 2018, 11:31 PM

#

Counter point and i am off to bed: Why the hell not?

reef dagger Sep 28, 2018, 11:32 PM

#

Because it's not beneficial to yourself to just die when you can atleast hit back once and reduce the amount of penalty you'd take upon yourself.

silent lantern Sep 28, 2018, 11:33 PM

#

Question: Does the death penalty depend on the damage you deal to the opponent?

reef dagger Sep 28, 2018, 11:33 PM

#

no, just whether you fight back or not

#

a combatant dieing to another combatant will have less penalty than a non-combatant dieing to a combatant, however the latter will send the combatatant to corrupted status

vapid harbor Sep 28, 2018, 11:34 PM

So I am logged in.. Looking at character.. says NOT READY.. is it supposed to be up, down, both?

daring igloo Sep 28, 2018, 11:49 PM

#

It's a known bug. If it says not ready you're ready

#

Rather, it will say not ready but you are ready

#

Just make sure the play button or whatever says cancel

junior harness Sep 28, 2018, 11:50 PM

it isnt doing anything in any case.. just sitting there

daring igloo Sep 28, 2018, 11:51 PM

If it takes more than 10 minutes or so, restart the game and launcher

hmm, now it says cancel, so that is the queue then

for the servers just opened, is the download link the same as from the last email we got from the last stress test? We just need to delete everything and install from the same DL link from the last email right?

okay, i've downloaded it already,

isn't this the same nda that you got when you downloaded the game?

@idle siren I was rewatching the stream and I know you said that there is a chance for items you are carrying to drop if you are killed by a player. Does this include legendary items?

languid condor Sep 29, 2018, 1:14 AM

is alpha 1 still under NDA?

twilit tapir Sep 29, 2018, 1:15 AM

@languid condor yes

they plan to lift it sometime after October 5th

<@&257269635559194625> the game keeps crashing. Could it be that my name is too long? its The_Grand_Sandal

#

I was thinking maybe instead of it giving me a popup saying the name is too long maybe it just boots me

#

idk

#

Ok well i just made it Voldnight and it did the same thing

Wait i think i got it

Missing one from today

Guess I’ll just keep refreshing

livid ermine Sep 29, 2018, 2:57 AM

so, how does hit registering work in this game, you can move and shoot , so you can actively dodge projectiles (they dont lock on), is the same true for melee? you must swing and "hit" while the person is within your range?

limber dune Sep 29, 2018, 3:01 AM

Ok sweet. found the email.

Thanks for your concern @ruby swift

sooo i make sure i follow the instructions properly, to see if i can get past the lobby, and now i cannot access the game at all. deleting the apoc files screws the game up. and as i cannot say anything in the stress test section, how do i get in there now?

Am I the only one when I log into the stress testing who gets a black screen? Or who should I ask about this, does anyone know?

Hey does anyone know the exact directory for the ashes client that i need to delete? I can't find it anywhere and have a million appdata folders

crystal beacon Sep 29, 2018, 6:56 AM

#

\AppData\Local\APOC

lone nimbus Sep 29, 2018, 6:57 AM

#

sigh cant find APOC anywhere

#

and i my client doesnt log in

#

like appdata\local = no apoc folder :S

#

ah all good, mine was elsewhere i think

ionic crystal Sep 29, 2018, 6:58 AM

#

you should of had to select a folder when you installed it during the setup/

lone nimbus Sep 29, 2018, 6:59 AM

#

yeah so i found that folder

ionic crystal Sep 29, 2018, 6:59 AM

#

also check your hidden files

lone nimbus Sep 29, 2018, 6:59 AM

#

but nothing in my appdata directory

#

yeah everything hidden is showing

ionic crystal Sep 29, 2018, 6:59 AM

#

not sure . sorry morteferam, been away for a week working

lone nimbus Sep 29, 2018, 6:59 AM

sigh now the installer file just doesnt load or log me in, i feel like i need to delete something like local appdata but

#

there's nothing there 😦

all g, thanks for the help anyway

ionic crystal Sep 29, 2018, 6:59 AM

maybe post in bugs if there is a problem with client. and try to reproduce ^^

looks like i miss out on another weekend of playing

ionic crystal Sep 29, 2018, 7:02 AM

lol if you have ever tested alpha / beta for other games its more about tryign to break and find bugs to make the final produt better, there is actually very little playing ... discover bug ,, reproduce bug ... try something new to see if bug gets reproduced .. try again ... report alld4 findings 😛

lone nimbus Sep 29, 2018, 7:02 AM

#

yeah true but i mean

#

i would like to play?

despite it being buggy

and also there are rewards for contributing

and didn't get to do the first weekend because htey didn't email me the key

Hmm NVM. I thought you meant after you readied up

as for apoc try C:\program files\intrepid studios\apoc\binaries\win64\apoc-win64-shipping.exe or whrever you put on your drive

lone nimbus Sep 29, 2018, 7:12 AM

#

so odd, my directories are totally different

#

game is installed in program files (86)

#

with an apoc directory located under

#

ashes of creation/apoc

#

but i also have a random intrepid directory in regular program files

#

but with no apoc file inside

#

so odd xD

ionic crystal Sep 29, 2018, 7:13 AM

#

the apoc i believe is the one that will be running / recieving data for the unreal engine that you want.. .. there is alwyas a full uninstall and the 2hour upload / reinstall at 2m/s

lone nimbus Sep 29, 2018, 7:15 AM

cedar talon Sep 29, 2018, 10:42 AM

Double hit it

#

Plus you need stamina

lone nimbus Sep 29, 2018, 10:51 AM

ah thanks @cedar talon

eh stamina is the green bar right? still with full stamina double tapping left shift (the key i set it to) does nada

Rebinding doesnt really work

lone nimbus Sep 29, 2018, 11:13 AM

willow canopy Sep 29, 2018, 11:38 AM

I can log in now but the game is not ready

lone nimbus Sep 29, 2018, 11:40 AM

common glitch, often you're in queue as long as you select play, it will just say you're not ready but give it time

open elbow Sep 29, 2018, 12:59 PM

I was like halfway through downloading the game but it resets, is that normal? 😐

main pelican Sep 29, 2018, 2:23 PM

How do you get past the not ready?

nevermind, read above comments

glass swallow Sep 29, 2018, 2:25 PM

May my DMs rest in pieces for this but ..... if you find that you are in the Alpha stress testing, have followed through with click, downloading the NDA, have all things in place except for forums permissions group such as displayed below .... I need to know so i can take a look and assist. Send me a DM with a link to your ashes of creation forums profile and I will help. Thanks ❤

Could someone tell me, if the cosmetic rewards are earned through time played, or rank achieved?

silent lantern Sep 29, 2018, 5:13 PM

#

Question... Do we know whether gear will give bonuses to summons? For example, the damage of your weapon (or primary weapon if dual wielding) will amplify the damage of summons. Something along those lines.

#

@crystal beacon we dont know as it hasnt started yet

crystal beacon Sep 29, 2018, 5:24 PM

What has not started yet? I thought that during the stress test you can get cosmetics, but the stress test already started. Or what so you mean?

When you get into lobby, to avoid queue issues, make sure to only click play. You will see “not ready” above your character head, but that is a known bug.

ye for instance here it says Q3 2019 for Alpha 2 what about the launch and Beta phase?

modest sierra Sep 29, 2018, 8:11 PM

after alpha 2

proven arrow Sep 29, 2018, 8:13 PM

#

Typically alpha tests of full builds like A2 only last a month or 2. And then the betas would likely be the same.

azure birch Sep 29, 2018, 9:30 PM

#

so each beta phase would last for 1-2 months?

guys noob question here but do everyone here has a key or alpha test oermission ? or open for everyone tests begun ?

oh.. thanks. Do we know how long it will be ?

autumn trellis Sep 29, 2018, 9:34 PM

#

Depends. It seems to me like they are frontloading the testing, so A1-2 is where the the heavy duty testing/development ect.. happens. CBT 1-2 seems more like a general polish. So they may be shorter (few months in total).

proven arrow Sep 29, 2018, 9:34 PM

It could be anytime between October and December

#

And a reminder only the arena mode will be open testing

yeah seems like it.. really want to participate

and if i can buy A-2 or betas..

Hey WaywardWolf22, I have had a similar issue! I just followed the pinned messages in the #apocalypse_test_bugcrash-reports , I made sure to delete all the correct files, folders and then reinstall the game entirely. Then it was fixed!

However, I don't think you'll be able to see this channel due to the fact that you don't yet have the Alpha tester rank on discord. Please check if you have the forum designation as "Alpha Stress Tester" (you can see this when you log in, go to your profile and it should say this next to your name). If you have this, you should be able to see a section on the forums called "Alpha 1 Stress Test Board". There you can find a thread named " How to obtain your NDA Discord channel rank" Just follow the simple instructions and you will be able to see all the correct sections! 😄

"CLEAN" install
(1) Uninstall Intrepid studios launcher.
(2) Delete folders: COPY/PASTE for ease
%localappdata%/APOC <- for 0.0.4 or earlier
%localappdata%/Programs <- for 0.0.4 or earlier
%appdata%/intrepid-launcher <- for 0.0.5 and newer
%appdata%/Intrepid Studios Launcher <- for 0.0.5 and newer
(3) Delete folder with Game Files. (the location you installed the game last time)
(4) Download and install client from the NEW email

#

Error Code 3 in particular you might need to reinstall the launcher

#

Sometimes error Code 3 is fixable just restarting client and launcher, but I assume you already tried that

For the monster coins, will you be a monster attacking your own node or will you be able to select a node to attack, because the former seems kind of counterproductive.

Whats the reasoning behind people who backed via kickstarter getting to play later than people who won a key in a key drawing?

modest sierra Sep 30, 2018, 7:52 PM

if you didnt back high enough for kickstarter ie the one that says alpha 1, then you can't play alpha 1 stress test/alpha 1

key drawing are beta0, i am beta2

For the city system, regarding guards i was woundering if there would be a system where the player could have a guard job or knight job, so that the leader of the city or more like the city it self could have a military which the players could participate in? i would hardly play this my self, just standing around ofcause, however this could also be affecting players work as caravan guards, perhaps a player guard would increase " comfort " for npc?

Will the character creation for humans be extensive/diverse? Like, I usually see they have choices for darker skin and whatnot in many games, but whenever I try to make a character in another game, they end up looking like a 'dark skinned caucasian' with broccoli on their head or something similar. It'd be nice to be able to make different characters and add storylines to them without them all looking fairly similar in the face, you know?

Active skills

Players can build their characters with the active skills they want.
Players are not given skills as they level up, they must choose what skills they take.
The number of skills on the action bar will be contained (fewer than 30).
For example: One Fighter will be different fro...

@crystal beacon They said that character creation will be similar to BDO so probably you will be able to feel quite unique. In fact if you are talented enough you could just create yourself in the game

I'm saying if I wanted my character to look asian or something, would I be able to?

Character creator

The character creator (or character customization screen) allows players to define the look of their character in Ashes of Creation.
We're gonna have a wide array of character customization out of the box.

Skills

Primary skills (class abilities) are based on a player's archetype.[3] Players can personalize their primary skills with augmentation from a secondary archetype (secondary class).[3][4]

Is there any statement about speedrunning in the game or they didnt say anything bout it yet, like dung leaderboards n stuff

dark heart Sep 30, 2018, 10:42 PM

#

speed run like a skill or press shift to sprint?

half pond Sep 30, 2018, 10:43 PM

No, clearing dungeons/raids in the shortest period of time

they have leader bords but i cant see any info on doing dungeons fast

So I'm an alpha 1 tester and I'm trying to get into the game through the email. After clicking the launcher and logging in, I can't click the NDA button to progress and log in.. any help?

azure birch Sep 30, 2018, 10:47 PM

#

yep AoC really focuses on PvE content not from the point of levelling up and earning money but the experience and the 'feel' of it. Most importantly they want it to be fun as much as possible so i dont think that there will be speedrunning

topaz ledge Sep 30, 2018, 11:33 PM

This is from the wiki: "The primary archetype (of a class) cannot be changed.
When players choose their primary class, it’s not just dictating how the next several hundred hours of gameplay will go... It’s only the primary class that cannot be changed. And hey, that’s what alts are for!" Is this talking about alternate characters, or alternate accounts? Does this mean we will be able to start over fresh on the same server by deleting the character, or will we be able to have multiple characters on one server?

west ibex Sep 30, 2018, 11:57 PM

#

multiple characters same server

azure birch Oct 1, 2018, 12:00 AM

#

no, i think what he means by alts is your second archetype. When he says there is no dictation that gameplay will be the same just because you picked that first archetype. So by choosing a second archtype you are able to experience something new. There are 64 different class combinations.

topaz ledge Oct 1, 2018, 12:00 AM

oh maybe

west ibex Oct 1, 2018, 12:54 AM

#

So when you pick your core class, you can play as 8 different characters with that 1 core class, so to be able to play all combinations you'd need 8 different characters. but as far as if you can KEEP your progress for each selection i dont know yet.

digital yacht Oct 1, 2018, 12:58 AM

#

u pick ur core class out of 8, then u can select one of the 8 secondary classes. You can switch between them, not instantaneously but htere is a way to switch, u dotn need to make new characters

What is the difference between the discord ranks "Alpha 0 member" and "Alpha Stress Tester" ?

tight rain Oct 1, 2018, 11:43 AM

#

Alpha Zero was level 10, node progression, cultural nod eprogression. More mmo aspects. Alpha stress test is pre A1 and BR only.

crystal beacon Oct 1, 2018, 11:44 AM

Could you further explain that?

Which part?

All of it, please 😄

tight rain Oct 1, 2018, 11:46 AM

Not much info is released for A0 so we don't have details. That is the info we got. And it came before Stress test. Stress test is just for testing server capcity and loads.

crystal beacon Oct 1, 2018, 11:46 AM

Ah, so A0 came before the stress test?

cedar talon Oct 1, 2018, 11:47 AM

Yes

crystal beacon Oct 1, 2018, 11:47 AM

And with level 10, I assume that's related to the package they bought?

A0 was the first test they did and is fully disclosed behind nda

Pretty sure you went wrong somewhere. But you should have notified the devs a bit sooner about this. Can’t do anything about it now

Ur secondary choice is an augmentation to ur first pick meaning it changes ur spells in a certain way, it can be changed however not on the fly they have said it will not be so easy to swap ur secondary choices

they will have to bring servers down for patching regardless

proven arrow Oct 1, 2018, 2:55 PM

There will be a 24/7 test for a short time with the arena modes when they unlock for all registered users, they intend there to be a semi-persistent test for a1p2 but isn't guaranteed, and yes A2 will be 24/7 for as long as the A2 lasts.

digital yacht Oct 1, 2018, 3:48 PM

Can you earn XP for a node if you are not a citizen of it (like if you are doing a dungeon in a neighboring node, where does the XP go)?

reef dagger Oct 1, 2018, 5:08 PM

Yes

#

Whatever is being done within a nodes zone of influence will gain experience for that node, even if a larger node has hindered the growth of a smaller neighboring node the exp will go to the larger node

native obsidian Oct 1, 2018, 6:30 PM

Will nodes automatically become a specific type if node, (military/economic/...) Depending on where they are located, or do people contributing to the node get a say somehow?

teal nebula Oct 1, 2018, 6:31 PM

@native obsidian when there are more fighting the node get militarry , when there get more quests solved the town get religion ect ect . the town go in this way the most exp incomming

I'm not sure that is accurate

That all depends on the levels of the nodes

Quote from Steven in the #news "Alpha 1 testers will test each arena mode a full month before that mode is granted to registered users." this sounds like we will get into each arena mode one month after testers gain access, however we will not be in A1 phase 2 at all.

robust marsh Oct 1, 2018, 9:27 PM

registered users?

#

So meaning people who didn't spend money to access?

Like personally... I wouldn't of spent $750 on alpha 1.

#

If I knew I could of played for free

uneven veldt Oct 1, 2018, 9:37 PM

#

on the site store, you do get more than just alpha 1. you get heaps of sub time and in game money too. so i guess it would be offset a bit.

twilit tapir Oct 1, 2018, 9:37 PM

#

Its not free, they are letting registered users into the BR environment, not the mmo test in phase 2 of alpha 1. Not just that, the "open" aspect of the test is greatly diminished from the closed testing. If you bought braver of worlds or higher you did it to get the lifetime sub and access to the closed content.

stable plover Oct 1, 2018, 9:38 PM

#

It does provide an extra benefit to the people who purchased A1 access as well in the form of improved queue times for the arena modes

I get all that - which I'm fine with and happy I did buy it.

But I mean the MAIN reason - was the play aoc (any aspect of it)

#

Which is why I'm a little put off I guess that's just my personal stance.

#

Sorry I think I'm confused even more now @twilit tapir

#

You said registered users.

#

I thought you can be registered not having to spend a cent?

reef dagger Oct 1, 2018, 9:39 PM

#

We don't know that it will be open the entire time after we're let in, only that each phase will open to all users to push the servers to breaking point one month after the testers play it

wow...lol.

reef dagger Oct 1, 2018, 9:40 PM

So BR mode opens to A1 only for 1 month, All registered users allowed for a time, Castle sieges open to A1 for a month, all registered users allowed for a time, etc until A1P2 when it will only be A1 Testers

twilit tapir Oct 1, 2018, 9:40 PM

#

Yes. They are going to let registered users, meaning anyone who signed up on the site, jump in on a limited access to the stress testing. All these closed tests are all paid users.

robust marsh Oct 1, 2018, 9:41 PM

#

Right - so you can physically play without spending a cent. That's all I was getting at. Bit of a joke really who paid for (alpha 1). I think if we were told prior about this many people wouldn't of spent money.

#

All good though I get it.

reef dagger Oct 1, 2018, 9:42 PM

#

Yeah, that may be slightly true, however A1 P2 is when the game becomes an actual MMO so that's the one people will REALLY want to be in for sure

robust marsh Oct 1, 2018, 9:42 PM

#

Oh 100% @reef dagger

twilit tapir Oct 1, 2018, 9:43 PM

#

So this phase 1 will have a few weeks of open participation, during a limited time period, its nothing to worry about and it will help them make the game better. All the paid users still get a ton of exclusive access that those people wont. This BR mode isnt the game, its just a combat engine test. Thats it. The more testing gets done the smoother the combat will be. Thats all.

robust marsh Oct 1, 2018, 9:43 PM

#

But I was just saying me personally just wanted to "log into" the game BR or MMO. Hence the payment.

#

Yep cool

#

Happy with that @twilit tapir

#

Thanks for the explaination all

reef dagger Oct 1, 2018, 9:44 PM

#

I see what you're saying Lukums and you're not wrong I'm sure there are people who are a tad upset that they paid to get exclusive access to something that is given freely to people

im sure the "open" access will be broken as hell when 20k people all try to access at the same time lol

robust marsh Oct 1, 2018, 9:45 PM

#

Yep pretty much. - Without sounding rude or a "child" I was excited streaming content which would be "exclusive" to find that won't be the case.

#

I have no doubt they will not be prepared for that intake.

Hi as a long time runescape fan ive come to love the quality over quantity aspect of runescapes quests where quest rewards tend to have an impact on your account and the items you receive neccesary for meaningful progression in the game unlike games like wow that tend to be kill and collect with no quest log making most of the quests optional and was therefore wondering what the quest model for ashes of creation would be like (quest log or not)(items which reward players who do them with better game play or not) thanks for your time and i hope your plans for this game work out regardless of your answer

vapid kindle Oct 2, 2018, 3:38 AM

#

@barren cargo Quests will only include important quests for the narrative. The usual "filler" quests will be called "tasks" and those will be optional. Unsure if there is any requirement to do the story quests either to advance, but I believe there will be. One such quest is said to award your first mount early on.

inland nexus Oct 2, 2018, 3:46 AM

#

A lot of the quests and system will also be dedicated to building the social and node system of the game. I do believe that mayors, who are players, will be able to create quests for their node and get players to help with tasks

Hy big question here but when we have our obligatory "Eldritch Horror Raid" could you make them acctualy insane fights? Like srewing with realty, a.E. making a small box with an Interior bigger than the acctual box? Screwing with perseption a.E. mixing player characters and monsters and so many more options. Monster moving in way to unreal ways. Using their legs not to stand but to drag them around and weird movement in general.

The corrupted creatures give off an eldritch horror vibe, but as far as raid design goes I wouldn't worry, Jeffrey Bard has his hands on the raid design and he made a lot of raids in EQ2 that were known to make people hate themselves.

No, because flying mounts are also dropped during raids and will be owned on a timer, so saying only king and queens/mayors will own them is incorrect.

Kinda lame if anyone gets a flying mount while others have no way to get it

crystal beacon Oct 3, 2018, 5:16 AM

#

Basically, Flying mounts are things everybody could get. However they are (in my words) an ultimate status symbol. It's reserved for a top few people, but if you work hard enough you could get one.

quasi walrus Oct 3, 2018, 5:16 AM

Its only mayors and kings/queens

crystal beacon Oct 3, 2018, 5:17 AM

It gives the most passionate something to work towards! 😃

empty fjord Oct 3, 2018, 5:17 AM

And very rare raid drop

#

But comes with a lifetime

crystal beacon Oct 3, 2018, 5:18 AM

#

Exactly. It's a thing that can be attained by anybody, as long as you put enough time and passion in

quasi walrus Oct 3, 2018, 5:18 AM

#

Are all raid dropped flying mounts limited if so how do they get the non limited?

#

Can you breed them as well?

empty fjord Oct 3, 2018, 5:19 AM

#

The ones from mayor and king/queen lasts during the mandate. All others are limited to a few weeks or so

#

And the will be a limit to the flight. Can't take your dragon and go terrorize caravans etc.

#

And no @quasi walrus no breeding of flying mounts. That would break the game as they envisioned it

mossy badge Oct 3, 2018, 8:18 AM

#

I know values aren't really in at all, but given both the want for action and tab target. I'm curious what they are looking for in Time to Kill. Will mobs be a chore to grind down or quick blasts will end the fight? What about PvP?

@oak bridge there will be gliding. there was a skin for a gliding mouint in the shop some time ago

silent lantern Oct 3, 2018, 10:49 AM

#

@mossy badge My impression is that they are aiming for something in the middle. Combat to be tactical and not a turtle race at the same time. Hence the combo of tab and action combat as well.

#

To make the combat itself less or more dymanic depending on what and how you use skills.

what's the difference between guild halls and guild fortresses

boreal abyss Oct 3, 2018, 1:09 PM

#

There is a limited amount (think it was 5) of (Guild) Fortresses in the world. They are static and can be conquered by other guilds, so they will be competed about.
A Guild Fortress is a Guild Hall, just static and can be taken by enemy guilds.
Guild Halls can also be built inside of Nodes, these cannot be taken by other Guilds in a Siege. @lethal pollen

#

(Note: A Fortress is not a Castle (which there are also 5 of), hence the clarification here)

empty fjord Oct 3, 2018, 1:25 PM

#

will the in-node guild halls be instanced?

boreal abyss Oct 3, 2018, 1:28 PM

#

Considering the fact that we have Guild Hall Skins, I would assume it will be "Static", meaning it will not be sharing location with other Guild Halls, meaning it will not be instanced.
So, based on us having Guild Hall Skins, I will guess No.

#

But nothing has been said about it as far as I know.

empty fjord Oct 3, 2018, 1:33 PM

#

true true. didn't think about the skins

boreal abyss Oct 3, 2018, 1:34 PM

#

Took me a few seconds to think about them myself when I thought about the question, cause at first I was "That's a good question" 😛

lethal pollen Oct 3, 2018, 1:35 PM

where'd you hear about fortresses being 5 in number

#

Well they aren't necessarily helping design all of them

native obsidian Oct 3, 2018, 1:40 PM

#

There is a stream they did that mentioned 5 as well

lethal pollen Oct 3, 2018, 1:40 PM

#

but i see what you're saying

boreal abyss Oct 3, 2018, 1:40 PM

#

So as I said, "I think" because nothing has been stated about the actual number

#

so 5 is what I have to go on 😛

lethal pollen Oct 3, 2018, 1:40 PM

@native obsidian fairly certain that was castles

Fortress - In world Static Guild Hall
Castle - In world Static Guild Castle with 3 military Nodes connected to it

lethal pollen Oct 3, 2018, 1:45 PM

#

fortresses are like mini castles i guess

#

i have a feeling they are tied to guild war mechanics but idk

boreal abyss Oct 3, 2018, 1:45 PM

The only thing Castles and Fortresses have in common:
They can be sieged

native obsidian Oct 3, 2018, 1:47 PM

Can't say I've ever heard a reference for guild fortresses aside from 5 "castles" that can be conquered. Guild Hall's yep in cities.

no

castles have their own associated nodes

that are military

silent lantern Oct 3, 2018, 2:34 PM

#

@lethal pollen Yea, that's what i've heard too 😁

lethal pollen Oct 3, 2018, 2:34 PM

#

they're part of the sieging mechanics involved with the castles

silent lantern Oct 3, 2018, 2:36 PM

#

so there are castled associated with a node and additionally a guild can build a fortress? or is the fortress another word for a guild hall? this is getting confusing now..

lethal pollen Oct 3, 2018, 2:38 PM

#

guild fortresses seem to be open world guild halls that can be sieged

#

i don't know if they replace guild halls or are an additional thing

#

if i had to guess i would say they are going to be involved with the guild war mechanics

silent lantern Oct 3, 2018, 2:42 PM

#

Hmmm, in the context of a guild war.. It would be interesting if 2 guilds can slaughter each other inside a town.

still dagger Oct 3, 2018, 2:46 PM

#

Guilds can have castles (fortress and guild hall ), which will own 3 sub nodes which are always military nodes.
During siege period, enemy's must defeat the 3 sub nodes and the castle to achieve victory.

#

I don't know much abt fortresses and guild halls, I am just assuming they are the same as castles here.. But the above statements are true for castles

silent lantern Oct 3, 2018, 2:52 PM

Doesn't really answer my question, but i guess we don't know that yet.

Will we be taught how the game mechanics work once we are in the game other than the tutorial at the beggining. I would like to be taught how each feature works e.g. crafting, combat, weapon and armor upgrades and so on as i and many other people are not very experienced in MMOs

digital yacht Oct 3, 2018, 3:35 PM

0 tutorials 0 quest markers no guidance u do everything yourself and you learn everything yourself.. jk I’m not sure about tutorials for crafting, etc but I’m sure their will be, would be a good question on next livestream someone correct me if I’m wrong.

So, how do you think someone that wants to remain independent (i.e. no guild) will do?

dry flower Oct 3, 2018, 3:55 PM

#

that someone will need to make friends with people in order to experience all of the content. There will be soloable content, but there will be some that's not soloable.

crystal beacon Oct 3, 2018, 3:55 PM

#

That was a recent discussion, though not much is known in that direction yet. It was just conjecture and personal preferences that we talked about, Tearl.

winter flame Oct 3, 2018, 3:57 PM

#

It would be great to make it viable, but ungodly hard, for making a 100% solo end content. Kirito comes to mind lol

hidden halo Oct 3, 2018, 3:58 PM

#

Yeah, I'm just curious if being an a freelancer type (mostly in crafting) is viable. My wife and I have done guild...small to large...casual to hard core. We're thinking about doing this freelance or independent thing as RP

#

We'd still want to have alliances (friends) of course. Just thinking of it as a "way of life"

crystal beacon Oct 3, 2018, 3:59 PM

#

Well if there will be no official support, I did see a bunch of players are thinking of calling one out of all the servers an 'unofficial' RP server for them

winter flame Oct 3, 2018, 3:59 PM

#

This game is going to be so great. Ive been waiting for this game for many years

crystal beacon Oct 3, 2018, 4:00 PM

Well, I would say definitely stick around Tearl! In time all your questions shall be answered, but for now I'll stick with an 'Uncertain' 😄

winter flame Oct 3, 2018, 4:00 PM

That would be great, to see the community just mark one out for the RPs

hidden halo Oct 3, 2018, 4:01 PM

We've played several MMO's...really looking forward to this and hoping it delivers! I use "RP" as in RP-lite. No "how does't though fair?" stuff...just trying to find a different way to (try to) play.

crystal beacon Oct 3, 2018, 4:02 PM

well you are certainly not the only player looking forward to some RP elements, so there's definitely going to plenty of like-minded players, no matter if it gets officially supported!

hidden halo Oct 3, 2018, 4:02 PM

#

Finding the right server might be the hard part, lol

winter flame Oct 3, 2018, 4:02 PM

#

Now they have said you can earn experience to max out your character through just crafting and things of that nature

crystal beacon Oct 3, 2018, 4:03 PM

#

Tearl I am sure that if you hop back on discord when things are starting up with actual servers, that there will be many players to direct you to a server they designated as the (un)official RP server

winter flame Oct 3, 2018, 4:03 PM

Im definitely going to be RPing, im going to be playing as a characters daughter from a book series

On the technical end of thing: Has IS said how they work with UE4? Do they use blueprints or code everything?

Speaking of servers is there any estimate as to number of servers or population caps. I’ve kinda looked thorough and didn’t see any info on this obviously things change but the direction they’re looking to go would be nice

vapid kindle Oct 3, 2018, 4:30 PM

#

10,000 concurrent players is what I recall being the target per server

junior ore Oct 3, 2018, 4:30 PM

#

Is that per server or was that their base line player base i know i hear that in a recent clip

vapid kindle Oct 3, 2018, 4:31 PM

#

It's per server

#

we have 10,000 just in alpha 1

cedar talon Oct 3, 2018, 4:31 PM

#

10k players online per server, server total accounts will be above that

junior ore Oct 3, 2018, 4:35 PM

#

Only reason i questioned is the 10k hard cap on alpha one i assume you never have everyone on at once but if that’s how they’re anticipating it then i guess number of servers will be based off anticipated population nearing launch. But it’s nice to hear a big number like that per server not including offline accounts 😍

spice ember Oct 3, 2018, 4:37 PM

vapid kindle Oct 3, 2018, 4:37 PM

Indeed. Concurrent players is all players actively connected. It will be a great thing to have such a large community all tied to ONE server and not sharded like other games

It means reputation has consequence as well.

Hey I may have already asked somethings about the Eldritch Horror Raid content, and here are things i would love to include. Traversing a room that bends around itself but won't let you fall to death, making your movment unpredictable, running forwards makes you jump running backwards playes the animation of backwards movement but it actually lets you run forward. Stuff that srews with your mind, soul and everything inbetween.

i have a Question

digital yacht Oct 3, 2018, 7:12 PM

#

It’ll prob be like one main spawn in the center of ur castle/base then if u push forwards say the siege just started and they start at ur wall. Ur closest spawn would be say in a building near the wall or on top but if they get thru ur wall they get the spawn point near wall now and u resort to spawning inside castle something like that is what I believe it will be

#

I probably have an answer @languid wave

Spit it out Man U been typing for ages

If you're asking about big guilds targeting low level players there are mechanics that making ganking very punishing, called the corruption system.

Steven said they want to make hundreds of people wars, battles
but no game has ever done it, even a 100people is too much for stable fps and performance and I am talking about Fortnite and PUBG which is a closed area "instanced" and not even an open world. How in the hell the team is planning on making a huge battles?
I'm totally supporting ashes of creation but I don't think the technology is there yet.

If one were to slice each of the game's systems into three phases - tutorial, leveling and end-game, how much socialization does each phase require? Do the social requirements ramp up over time, with increasing amount of content being only designed with groups in mind?

I'm afraid of the game being yet another "single-player MMO".

idle bloom Oct 4, 2018, 12:42 AM

#

The game is heavily tilted toward PVP. It's not just PVP. Consider, however, that we hope for a living breathing world with changing landscapes and events that will be pushed by the PVP. Cities may rise and fall, etc.

#

It shouldn't feel like a single player game. Players should have a lot to do with how the world looks and how it changes. Not sure if that answer helps you.

cedar talon Oct 4, 2018, 12:44 AM

#

A lot of mechanics in the game require you to team up. For example the way raids work and the caravan system. You won’t be able to solo those. Also crafting is easier to have others help you, you can only specialize in a certain skill, so you would need alts if you rather do it solo. Ofcourse its always up to the player too to play it as a mmo, not a solo game

jolly bluff Oct 4, 2018, 12:46 AM

#

What I'm specifically interested in is - will guild/community forming be extremely incentivized through game mechanics, to the point where playing a significant amount of the content of the game as a "single player MMO" will be basically impossible? This also implies lack of easy mode dungeon/raid queueing and teleporting to places.

cedar talon Oct 4, 2018, 12:48 AM

#

Well for example, nodes only grow if there is a community active. A node needs player generated xp to grow.

jolly bluff Oct 4, 2018, 12:48 AM

#

Of course, large scale PvP and PvE will require groups, but what I'm also including here is plenty of group quests or other world and leveling content that can't be done solo.

cedar talon Oct 4, 2018, 12:49 AM

#

As for raids, you should read the wiki on those. Since they will not be easy, not fully instanced and teleports almost non existent

idle bloom Oct 4, 2018, 12:53 AM

#

Fast travel in the game is very limited, economies will be regional and there will be basically no flying around the map. Lastly, there won't be multi-server dungeon ques. Based on this, it may appear to have a lack of 'easy mode' as you put it.

jolly bluff Oct 4, 2018, 12:55 AM

After visiting the wiki, I can see that my conception of some game systems wasn't entirely accurate and you've mostly managed to answer my concerns. Thanks, both of you.

I hope battles will be large, Camelot Unchained can get 1000+ people fighting on screen, though AoC is giving them a run for their money in terms of who's going to launch first.

misty crane Oct 4, 2018, 2:12 AM

@tidal stirrup after you upgrade contact support and they should add you to the mailing list. You'd then recieve the next test email with the rest of us.

@tidal stirrup I would fire off an email ticket if you want to guarantee you are on the list for next round of invites. The KS upgrade from lower tiers to one that is currently in testing seems to be a bit problematic on their end for reporting from others exeperiences.

any idea about how combat system will be? like Tera or FFXIV or Guild War 2 or WoW?

don't mind me. but if this game can do combat system like in BDO, that will make any MMO out there look like an indie mess

crystal beacon Oct 4, 2018, 6:08 AM

#

Stanard, that is what they are currently focusing on. Finding a balance between action combat and tab combat.

#

So once we get out of this testing period we might know more about where their focus is going to go. For now, it is still being tested so we can't be sure!

bitter imp Oct 4, 2018, 6:16 AM

full action is cool but for a game like ashes i dont think it fits too well. definitely need some lock on spells that aren't too op but can atleast help for when you miss skillshots

mild bear Oct 4, 2018, 7:40 AM

#

@torn jolt On 100+ battles. A bad craftsman always blames their tools. A tool can only ever do what it is crafted to do and the existing tools havent been crafted properly. Time dilation and lag is a result of sequential data access. No point having massively parallel processing if you have to queue for data while battling ping.

@hard dawn when i understand the question correct than is the answer we get an extern possibility to create our charackter and implement it later when we start the game bevore it is released ( eventually since alpha phase 2

Character creation will be released before the official release of the game.

@full bison on the stabiluty note.. TESOs engine is trash and probably custom built which is the reason IS is writing their own server side software - cuz UE in general is trash for massive games.

Q: What OS will Ashes of Creation release on?
The focus at this time has been on the Windows OS. Intrepid has stated there maybe expansion work to include additional OS support down the road but not something targeted for launch.

When Alpha One, Phase 2 is released, will crafting be fully implemented? I ask because I am a crafting whore, and that system will be one that I fully and thoroughly test, if it's available when I get my invite for Phase 2. Kickstarter donator here. 😃

To clarify, Alpha One Phase 1 testing will commence starting this week with limited testers selected by order of purchase, and will include all alpha testers before the end of September. This is 1 quarter ahead of schedule :heart:️:ok_hand::skin-tone-1:. Alpha 1 testers will test each arena mode a full month before that mode is granted to registered users. This phase is a bonus phase of development and we will run the arena during development and post launch as a matchmaking mode of Ashes.

dark jungle Oct 4, 2018, 5:43 PM
