Weird questions but what’s the requirements to perform max with the best FPS
halcyon crane
visa :3
crystal beacon
@crystal beacon A bunch of super computers.
now if you're asking "what is the minimum I need to play everything on max settings while still getting a good fps" then I can only tell you that they are still optimizing everything so that is currently unknown.
It will be run on Unreal 4's engine though which is already an engine that requires decent gear so if you're going for max, I'd say you're looking at at least a 1080ti.
Here's the recommended hardware for Unreal 4: https://wiki.unrealengine.com/Recommended_Hardware

Are they done doing the livestream? I can't find it on their twitch
dreamy quarry
Can I upgrade my beta 1/2 package to A2 package?
crystal beacon
@dreamy quarry Did you get your package during the 2017 kickstart or 2017 summer crowdfunding campaign?
If so, yes you can still upgrade.
If not, no you can no longer upgrade.
crude oasis
if you buy the $250 pack, are you able to purchase the skins from the $350 pack without upgrading to that pack?
fallow adder
If you're talking about the current store on the website you can buy them individually, but only while they're still available. Once the new skins come out, the old ones are gone and can not be bought anymore.
crude oasis
thanks

Didn't they say they would showcase in the stream?

If i get the 375 dollar version do i get access to the combat test or is that rng too?

Or did they mean the charity stream

How long does the livestream last? 1 hour, 2 hours, ...?
west solstice
Depends. But I would guess max 2hrs.
But more likely to be 90minutes ish
fallow onyx
@proper bobcat Even beta testers and then even the people who just regestered for the game will get an invitation for action combat tests in time. But remember the in time part, it may not be today, it may not be this week but in time. Because it is an actual combat test to collect information for combat system of the mmo before it is a game to play. Note: it's just what I read and listen. I'm not an authorized person so things may be different
proven arrow
Usually 1 hour

Oh so people that havent even bought the game will be able to play?

If they have a registered account
ornate ember
I bought the 100euro(pioneer) kickstarter bundle, if i want to upgrade to the 150euro(Founder) is there a way to pay 50euro instead of 150 euro for it? The upgrade wants me to pay full again even though its just an upgrade
yeah, thats the one im talking about
Aye, ill look through it. Thanks mate, you a nice bloke
ruby swift
@ornate ember It is a bit confusing. The initial purchase looks like you are charged the full amount, but when you get to checkout you will see that it is just charging you the difference between the packages.

10/31/2018 Question: Will the Tanking role lean more towards damage done coverts to threat (WoW) or abilities that have taunt mechanics built into them (ESO)? I personally don't like ESO's tanking because it is almost a guarantee that my party will be attacked on larger group pulls.

hello everyone , sorry for my bad english im french i just have a lotof question :/
i discovered the game today , and i register on the official website , i saw that a lot of people got key for tsting the game , can someone tell me when are they giving key ?
gentle flame
you gotta buy it
raven flower
Quick question, any idea how are the stats going to work? I mean you lv up and they increase depending on your race/class or you get a certain amount of "stats points" and build up however you want(?) sorry if it has been asked before I just think it would be really good if you can have your own unique build. A good reference could be Ragnarok Online o TOS.
halcyon crane
certain races will have stats would better suit what some classes want but you can still do what you want how you want and i think the rest comes from gear which is not class or race locked
@raven flower https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Stats might be able to explain it better

Roughly how long does it take the support team to respond to tickets?
stable plover
@sweet magnet A week is the average response time, you may experience much shorter or longer depending on the particular issue
sweet magnet
Cool, thank you Grey! Always very helpful 😄
cinder ridge
is it still possible to upgrade our kickstarter packs?
sweet magnet
@cinder ridge i think so, but you have to put in a support ticket on the site
ruby swift
@cinder ridge @sweet magnet Incorrect. You do not need to put in a ticket to upgrade your KS package. The option is right there on https://www.ashesofcreation.com/account/general Just click on Upgrade your Kickstarter bundle. It will take you to the options you have available. As always you just pay the difference between the packs. The option will remain until they decide to remove it and they have said that plenty of notice will be given before they do.
cinder ridge
i went to that page about 3 times and immediately went to "purchases and orders" because that is where you buy summer cosmetics.... yet i missed that... thank you @ruby swift . and thank you @sweet magnet for trying to help out.
sweet magnet
I went to my account to try and upgrade the package i bought and it didn't have any options and going to the store showed the full price amount, not the difference
so I just submitted a ticket.
@cinder ridge you're welcome, i tried!
ruby swift
Sorry it didn't work for you. The upgrade process is confusing. And when you select the package it does indeed show the original price. But once you get to check out it has the adjusted price. A ticket will definitely solve the issue, but with the current backlog encouraging people to work the angles first saves everyone time and grief for later.
uneven veldt
how do i get the alpha testing tag now that i got my account a couple weeks ago?
neon lark
Can we still submit for Halloween? (Currently started viewing the stream, sorry if they answer my question there.)
uneven veldt
closed sorry
crystal beacon
Will all the beta progress be reset once the game fully releases? What about the alpha progress before the beta?
empty fjord
nothing from alphas and betas will live on to the release
progress might/will even be reset during the testing phases when needed
so don't expect anything to persist
@uneven veldt if you're talking about the Alpha Stress Tester tag I don't think those are handed out anymore since Alpha 1 is not in stress test anymore
narrow eagle
During the live stream yesterday Steven mentioned that Node #3 was already out. Was this a mistake or am I just looking in the wrong places? If it is out, where can I find it?
narrow eagle
Ah, fair enough, I didn't pick up on that, thanks!
empty fjord

urban gulch
Can someone dm me about the new "ashes of creation apocalypse" my small brain still doesn't understand it yet
cinder gyro
empty fjord
not just the br, it's the castle sieges and horde mode too, bundled into apocalypse
no longer referred to as alpha 1 phase 1
waxen crypt
so the apocalypse thing is it gonna run all the way until the mmorpg launches ? and what is its availability to people without access keys?
brave vessel
People with alpha 1 access will get Apoc 1 month early before it goes public, and free to play
ruby swift
The availability has been stated to be gradual phased. Those that paid the most will get in first and others in descending order down to the free. From previous statements that may take around a month in each phase. There has been no confirmation either way of the Apocalypse stuff going away at live launch of the mmo.
silent badge
when will ashes of creation apocalypse will be playable?
ruby swift
It already is. If you are asking when will it be up and available in this first phase 24/7, then that has been stated to be in the next 2-4 weeks.
If you currently have access to A1 or A2 testing keys, you would have already been sent credentials for this weekends probable testing. Everyone else will come later.
silent badge
im not a backer haha, thats why i was asking
silent badge
yeah i have one
ruby swift
Then you are 2-4 weeks out.
silent badge
oh perf, thank you
junior ore
^^ subject to change but predicted timeframe
ruby swift
Yep, it is all subject to vagaries of testing and server stability. They may find that the backlash of hate from the community of making the arena testing free after charging people for access is more than they want to deal with. Many factors to be considered.
vivid anchor
Is there going to be a similar Christmas competition like the Halloween one?
ruby swift
They didn't do stuff last year. Could be? They pretty much billed the charity event as their Christmas thing.
digital yacht
@uneven veldt the a1 stress tag is only for a1 backers bc it gives us access to the a1 channels under nda
vital rivet
Do you know if there stress test this weekend?
digital yacht
Most likely but no word yet
vital rivet
@digital yacht thanks
glossy blade
cant wait for 24/7 testing woot
silent lantern
Hmm.. So according to the yesterday stream, players will be able to acquire combat pets without being a summoner (some tameable creatures and stuff like that). Am i right?
Also, does that mean that summoners will be able to have a summon and a combat pet out?
glossy blade
probably, i'd assume the pet system is minimal in comparison to summoners pets
damage wise i mean
silent lantern
That is my guess too. They didn't elaborate on that. Or how strong the combat pets would be, but i've said it previously that they won't be important for competitive play
glossy blade
what i think would do well is if all pets were bare min dmg hitting pets, but each pet has an effect that helps or hinders
like a undead can hit a target and they get diseas or slowed
silent lantern
Yea, i think that's the take they will go with in that regard, otherwise it wouldn't make much sense
silent lantern
A giant bat 🤔
Would be nice if they can level up and improve their skills too. Anyway, we shall see.
ruby pewter
Btw can we have 2 pets on one battlepet and one standard pet follower or if one is land pet and one flying pet or we just have one pet
digital yacht
No one knows cuz last I heard summoners can summon one strong summon or multiple weaker summons, so pets is prob up in the air as well
My guess would be one
proven arrow
Cosmetic pet for anyone, combat pets for summoner combos, summoner primary would likely have pets that stay out, secondary would get pets that appear temporarily, (partial speculation partial information of what they've said) depending on which combo you might get more than 1 pet at a time. There are also pets similar to the most recent zombie pet that supposedly attack your enemies, however we don't know whether they do any damage or if it's just a gimmick where it just looks like it's attacking but does 0-1 damage.
boreal abyss
Summoner can have
One Strong
Multiple
None (Summons non-creatures instead, like effects, not much else known atm)
tulip hatch
The zombie pet is a combat pet (is it just a skin for a combat pet? dont know its not clarified but we anticipate that it is.)
there are 2 types of pets anyone can have not just summoners
cosmetic pets which are just that creatures you can have that as far as we know dont do anything extra
then combat pets which are tamable creatures in the world
can level and be geared
theres not much more information available and of course everything is still very much a work in progress so things we know now may change later on.
dreamy quarry
Is apocalypse gonna be on steam? Do we have a date for that already?
modest sierra
tulip hatch
Apocalypse is only the phase 1 and is now considered sperate from Alpha 1
But its still a testing phase
hidden halo
<@&257269635559194625> I noticed that Gather icon on the hot bar...Is that actually something that's currently in, working or being tested?
ionic ferry
"Ashes Of Creation Splits Off Battle Royale Mode Into Its Own Free-To-Play Game" I just heard it and wanted to ask are you guys serious right now ? if so our premade already gives up on you. "It's only for test reasons" next thing we know my.com will make it p2w.
junior ore
If you watch the latest vod they explain it essentially as backers will get access early and then move on to the next stages up to the core mmo while that will be available to all on the side to continually pull data from and find bugs while also bringing in other communities and being open to more numbers mean more results and failures to fix
It’s about being transparent while also giving an engaging way to pull data that doesn’t take away from backers either
Oops tag**
digital yacht
Literally it’s for the community to play when/if they don’t have access
If it becomes its own game after who cares, becuz for one u can earn cosmetics in that game mode and they carry over to the real game upon release

does anyone know how much into demons and undead Intrepid are going to get.. with the warlock and necromancer.. are we going to have pacts with dark gods or demons etc that would fit into the popular stereotype for those classes?
delicate bone
have IS announced who will be hosting their servers in Asia/Oceania areas?
ruby swift
@delicate bone So far they have said they plan to self-publish in OCE/SEA, with the caveat that if things go horribly wrong they may have to look for a publisher. So, right now, self-publish, later, unknown.
slender shuttle
@simple ether i hope they dont have us fighting against gods.. demons yes! I say this cuz i know they have said they have religion in game and im sure they will have good deities and bad deities.. im unsure if they plan to implement an alignment for characters tho
spark sapphire
does anyone know if you buy the top pack now if you still get early access prior to game release?
vsing kicker starter $150 pack vs the website pack $350
jovial geyser
are you saying you have the $150 kickstart pack?
from what I can read the $150 pack kickstarter has teh same access as the $350 website pack
spark sapphire
i was wondering as a friend told me about the kick starter and i had already got the 350$ website pack
should i just get the kick starter since the website doesn't give you early day access
jovial geyser
*you can't get kickstarter packs anymore
if you do not already have one then you cannot upgrade it
and cannot buy it
kickstarter ended a year and some change ago
hence teh website packs
spark sapphire
so the top pack doesn't give early access vsing kick starts ouch
spark sapphire
but doesn't give day access* for game lunch
jovial geyser
oh you are talking about headstart?
spark sapphire
yeah
is there anyway to get the headstart* // summer backer ** which is still gone D:
jovial geyser
sorry yeah it does not and no as far as I know there is no way to get headstart anymore

ripe timber
It is possible to get into the beta/alpha now by preordering? if so which tier
silent lantern
@ripe timber You don't need to pre-order if you want to get into the current testing phase. Wait a few more weeks and the servers will be open for all registered users.
Of you want in on Alpha 2, the package will be up for quite some time, so you have several months to purchase it. Of you go on thr website the packages say which has access to what too.
grand niche
My friend wants to get the $500 pledge for kickstarted, is that still possible or?
tight breach
nope, the kickstarter campaign ended over a year ago @grand niche
grand niche
Ah okay, so no way to get a perm sub or any clue if that'll come out in preorder packages?
tight breach
there is one way to get the 500 Kickstarter pledge, but that is if you have a lower tier kickstarter pledge
grand niche
Ah okay rip xD thank you.
crystal beacon
Not true
You could also get it as a summer backer in 2017, which was several months after the kickstarter
But yes, if you bought any package after the summer backer event from 2017 you can no longer upgrade.
grand niche
Well he just found out about it saw the game and wanted to do a permanent sub one xD
tight breach
He can still have a lifetime subscription, it'll just be split up into small fee's every month 😃
crystal beacon
he might with a very big might have a chance in future competitions, like our previous Halloween event. Which he can keep an eye out for on the forums and in Discord announcements. But that is a long shot.
proper bobcat
Is this channel just for members helping members or can i tag intrepid

I have not yet seen them answer, but you can try. However if you want them to see your question and have a high chance of replying wait for a live twitch stream, and ask your question in #507292888321753099

You could always try to summon the Sandal God Steven, but there is no guarantee he will answer

proper bobcat
Gear, weapons count as gear?
crystal beacon
The point above states: Gear is intended to be realistic --> there will be no oversized weapons
so yes, given that quote weapons would fall under gear

Okey, its friday.
I wrote ticket to support about that I upgraded pre-order from 75 to 250 and didn't get access to alhpa 1 about 7 days ago.
Still didn't even get answer. An they will send it again tomorrow. What shoudl I do ??????

That package doesn't give a1 access

Upgrade higher as Alpha 1 was a higher pack

But if you have pre-order with alpha 2 you have access to That BR

I wrote to them 2 times. Come on, someones get it a few hours after bought. And I am waiting 3 weeks

Also take note the br/castle/horde is no longer alpha 1

Q3 2019
fervent kiln
Will we be able to find out what games everyone is playing for this charity event, I wouldn't mind some company while staying up 24 hours.
glass swallow
WHat I will share is that often times those stating they have not received a response, are actually not receiving the emailed responses. It is important that you add support@ashesofcreation.zendesk.com as a known contact to mitigate the possibility of this occurring. Another scenario often seen is that a response is given and it will state a rough timeline and that timeline by the recipient is not noted and they think that they have been overlooked when that is not the case.
Certain issues do take longer than others to resolve.
Also note that Alpha Stress tester role is respective to Alpha 1 backers.
Alpha 2+ will not recieve this role
that has been something I have noted recently that there may have been some miss perception of
This role on the forums and the discord server are related only to the Alpha Stress test which that phase has transitioned to Alpha 1
so is no longer the current state
digital yacht
@fervent kiln I don’t believe they have a set list as Steven said in the livestream they( not Stevens pathfinder group) the others in the studio will be play a multitude of different games like smash, just fun party games
tranquil osprey
Are backers being banned for not agreeing with the devs? I'm only a founder but I'm rather concerned about this. https://www.reddit.com/r/AshesofCreation/comments/9toyvb/biased_enforcement_on_the_official_discord/?utm_source=reddit-android

No that's just Gigabear, he got banned for extreme toxicity but blames everyone else for his misfortune

He's been ranting since the day he got banned, and I don't think he's actually stopped. But then he makes alts and try's and get unbanned so its rather confusing and comical

flint thistle
Is it possible to switch a 375$ pack to a different months?
ruby swift
No, but you can purchase all future cosmetics a la carte.
flint thistle
Purchase them indefinitely or only while theyre on the store?
ruby swift
Only while on the store, once they gone, they gone for good.
flint thistle
hmm damn okay
ruby swift
If people knew they had the option to wait until just before release to buy all the previous stuff, they would, and there would have been no risk.
Those that have faith in the studio and the development can choose to support it now, and they get rewarded for that faith.
flint thistle
Not worried about that, I just like this pack better and after spending 375 Id rather have these than the previous ones
ruby swift
Sorta like being at a restaurant and you order your dinner. After it comes to the table you look over at the other guys dinner and like that better. You can order that food too, but you still gonna pay for the first dinner you ordered.
flint thistle
Dunno where youre buying your dinner for 375$ but sure If I had thousands of Dollars Id understand

How often does the store change
ruby swift
Monthly is the plan, they got behind a bit, but are back on track for the 2nd of every month maybe.
royal obsidian
Thanks. Which month was the best
ruby swift
Depends on what you personally like. Most of the months are in game race themed. This one was necromancer currently.

Lets say that im a rogue then i roll secondary spec fighter, can i use 1 handed weapons?
Oh ok sick
oh
welp if i roll fighter that should fix that
ruby swift
If you are say a ranger, your arrow skill will no work with a sword
proper bobcat
Hm but if you have 2 melee fighters you think there will still be abilities locked to weapons?
dagger in one hand one handed in the other 0.o
ruby swift
There are weapon skills and archetype skills independent of each other.
Just not two shields
proper bobcat
Emagine having a sheild in each hand
ruby swift
Confirmed multiple times now that two shield wielding will NOT be a thing.
worthy glade
this might be a dumb question but I just tried logging into the server with my alpha info to get the cosmetics and I cant seem to get logged in. Anyone know if the server is offline?
ruby swift
Servers will be offline till next weekend
worthy glade
oh crud, so i missed the cosmetics =/
dark jungle
@worthy glade purchase from here https://www.ashesofcreation.com/shop/
worthy glade
oh they were not free cosmetics then?

No, that part of the BR has not been implemented yet
Look for free stuff linked to your account after the website and account integration update goes live soon.

yes

If I bought a pack last month will I be able to just buy the cosmetics and skins that are out now? Or do I have to purchase another pack?
I see. I was wondering why I couldn’t see all of them. Thanks.
Oh cool. If I upgrade from like the 75 to a higher one will it be full price or will it do the difference and be like 75$ cheaper?
Awesome. Thanks.
cedar wagon
Hello, just joined this server, have many questions.
My first one is.
Is there gonna be a beta? is so when?
I see.
Just like all new MMO RPGs when beta is over is there gonna be stat resets?
silent lantern
@cedar wagon It's not that every MMO wipes before launch. It just doesn't make sense for a subscription based MMO to give you free progress during the alphas and betas. That would be P2W towards the people who do not purchase packages to get in the testing stages.

@glass swallow i bought a preorder pack when i could've upgraded my Kickstarter package am i able to get a refund?
ashen spear
Heya i got a question, im wondering about taking the step by buying a pack, it mentions that the items changes on a monthly basis. And it mentions that you can buy the "upcoming" items that comes out monthly? do they cost the same as an entire pack? Would like some information around this, so i can have some foresight. Thanks

Buy pack = allowed to puchase (what usually comes in that pack) separate from the new packs
So, if you buy the 75$ Pack, you can only buy the skins that come with the new 75$ pack separate (the necklace this month, 5$)
If you buy the 250$ pack, you can buy all skins that are not in the 375$ pack separate next month
So if you had bought the 250$pack last month
you could not buy the Costume, the Freehold Skin or the Ship Skin separate this month, but every other skin besides those you could have bought separate @ashen spear
The skins usually cost around what they did this month:
Accessory: 5$ (Pack: 75$)
Pet: 15$ (Pack: 150$)
Mount Skin: 20$ (Pack: 250$)
Costume: 25$ (Pack: 375$)
Freehold Skin: 25$ (Pack: 375$)
Ship Skin: 25$ (Pack: 375$)
ashen spear
Ah thank you, does the price per item per month varry? or is say the 75$ packs acceessory allways an extra 5$ per month?
fluid scroll
@daring pendant If you buy a higher tier package you will only paid the difference.
ruby swift
@ashen spear So far the pricing hasn't varied by tier. Sometimes the $5 is a cosmetic pet, sometimes it is a skin for jewelry or gear. Same with the higher tiers, we have had ships one month, then caravan skins the next. But the price point has remained static. That doesn't mean that it will always be so, just what has come before.
ashen spear
Ok thanks
plain jackal
For the freeholds how many free hold buildings can be in one free hold plot of land? in other words if i was to have a free hold plot then would i be able to put both a smelter and a forge on said plot or would i need to choose between 1 or the other?
boreal abyss
@plain jackal Unknown at this point, would depend on the building's sized as the Freehold Size if fixed I'd assume
But yes, you would most likely be able to put down both and more
plain jackal
Thank you :D

warped bison
Do we receive all that is changing in the store if we bought the Braver of Worlds pack a while a go?
stable plover
@warped bison No one automatically receives the cosmetics rotating through the pre-order store atm, but a BoW could buy desired monthly cosmetics al la carte for 5-25$ each (make sure your logged in) - they're only available until they rotate, so you couldn't say go back and buy cosmetics from last Feb
warped bison
Cheers for the answer. I was asking because I don't really want to spend any more money ($435 is a lot) that's a shame
crystal beacon
So just so I am clear. All the testing that has been going on isn't the style of gameplay that will be in the AoC MMO..it was for a standalone game that will be a battle royal? I'm good for that becuase i would really like to test the MMO version we signed up for. I'm way behind on the news for the game but I read a story confirming this?
stable plover
@crystal beacon A0 was traditional MMO testing, AoC apocalypse, formerly known as A1P1 is being spun off into a side project consisting of a Battle Royale, Castle Seige Mode (Objective based PvP with class kits), and Horde Mode (PvE waves) - Alpha 1 (formerly known as A1P2) will get back to 'normal' MMO testing again -- The stuff in the side modes helps test things for the MMO like combat, matchmaking, etc.
crystal beacon
Gotcha, I only had access to A1P1, didnt realize AO was more MMO. (So i assume basic starter quest or something were involved?)
stable plover
There were starter quests in A0, there should be footage of the devs completing some quests in A0
I'd call it 4 dungeons, but they had different levels of development
crystal beacon
Thanks for the info. Missed most of the Alpha and playing catch up
empty fjord
sadly videos of Alpha 0 is very limited to the livestreams from Intrepid. so we only have the word from A0 testers as they are allowed to talk about it, but not show anything

@idle siren The focus of this question is more on Camera side for people who get motion sickness...
Are there any plans to have in depth UI / Camera modifications for Users? For instance: the depth of UI modification such as EQ / EQ 2 gives the user the ability to change and move windows as their pleasing. The camera functions (especially for action/active combat) the ability to adjust sensitivity levels of camera movement for people who have motion sickness (such as my wife) who is a backer. Thank you again I.S. !
thank you Jahlon.
grim venture
So the combat on the mmorpg side will be the same found on apocalipse and battle royal modes?
sorry ive been reading all the messages and try to catch up lol
tulip hatch
the mmorpg will be a hybrid style combat
grim venture
but will it feel like those modes? My hopes are that the battle combat will be close to what BDO has which seems it is on apocalipse and battle royal
Thanks in advance guys
proven arrow
BDO is very much a fighting game style, they are going with more of a 3rd person shooter feel to the action skills, so when it goes hybrid its going closer to say ESO.
proven arrow
BDO is one of those games we likely won't see a fighting system similar to. it really played on the fighting game player style, but that style falls apart quickly in large scale pvp. the 3rd person shooter style is much better suited for massive battles
grim venture
I hate fighting style like FFXIV and WOW (Please dont get offended by that its just my personal taste xD)
proven arrow
ya it won't be that, but it will be a lot closer to ESO based one what we've seen. go watch the most recent gameplay video
proven arrow
they gave us a preview of the hybrid combat

Just a Question. Is the Battle Royale Action combat alpha test still set to be released to the public and Beta Testers soon?
boreal abyss
Yes
That's why they took it out of the Alpha all together
to avoid the confusion around it

Sick! Any estimates btw?

2-4 weeks for the BR Arena
the siege mode will follow after a month of testing and vary depending on the results from the testing sessions.
then horde mode will follow

Have you backed or bought any packs ealier? @nocturne sun
nocturne sun
no if the lowest backing price was like $5 or something then yes but its $25 or at least last i saw it wsa
boreal abyss
No, lowest pack costs 75$ atm
sadly then there is no way for you to get the skin separate

i was talking about their kickstarter but i really like necromancy stuff so it pains me that i cant even get the lowest tier on the current cosmetics shop

Testing is at points when they have worked out issues, so testing atm is announced in the channels in teh discord when the servers are ready for testing
So I'd keep an eye on the Alpha 1 channels
but Next test will be next weekend @tiny fable

Well, I wanted to know about graphics or will you change it to better and animation, and the other effects will be better or will it be a game that looks like 2008?
interesting in walk animation....that like slide show....

They will definitely improve the animations and the graphics. these kind of stuff take time.
Edit: animations and graphics, especially 3D is a very huge time-sink to get it properly done.

So here is a question, has there been any information how node progress will be shown visually? Will it be instantaneous or happen over time?
For example if a city is downgraded to a village, will all the walls just magically disappear from one second to another?

Hi there! I have two questions:
- Will Apocalypse have a european version/server?
- Will it be possible to migrate an Intrepid/AoC account to my.com (including the Apocalypse cosmetics and potential preorder packs) once the game goes live here in europe?
cedar pine
how come i cant post in guild recruitment
mighty kernel
You need the guild leader discord tag.
boreal abyss
Which means you need at least 10 ppl with your Guild Tag in the Discord
silent lantern
@tepid tusk
- My guess is that there will be regions for the Apocalypse thing as well, along with the MMO servers.
- You will be able to migrate from what i have heard, but there won't be any region or IP locking so i don't think it really matters that much.
odd zenith
Do we know if elves are immortal in Ashes of Creation lore?
grim venture
Does anyone have link for Legacy Imperium on discord? I got accepted but I cant find the link
stable plover
@odd zenith I don't think we know if the elves are immortal, I personally assume elves are not immortal based off Stevens PAX east comment that "You are many generations later." answering 'Are we the same people that walked in portal?' - I suppose 'many generations later' might just refer to the humans, but I assume if it was a mixture Steven would have said so - I also suppose it's possible the elves could be immortal when not cut off from the essence or something, but for now I'll just guess at no
odd zenith
Thank you @stable plover
crystal beacon
In the last stream Steven & Co. said that the Betas will be very short (maybe 2 weeks each?). That makes buying the lower packs for the Beta 1/2 access kind of underwhelming in my opinion. Do we know if there will be different kinda of packs closer to release that might include beta 1/2 access and maybe even stuff like headstart/name reservation (the usual "Founder-Pack" stuff)?
Going for alpha access is kind of steep with a 250$ Buy-in.
?
boreal abyss
Headstart was KickStarter only, not available in current pre-order packs at all (Bought the first 500$ Pre-Order pack, I haz no headstart)
crystal beacon
Yeah i know that, but what i'm asking is whether there might be different kind of packs coming out closer to release (classic founder packs) and how these will interact with the current alpha packages 😃
boreal abyss
Name Reservation is in the current Alpha 2 + pack, so going by that
i'd assume it might become available if there are new beta packs when Alpha 2 is no longer available
Unknown tho, I am just assuming by how it became available in the + Alpha 2 pack after Alpha 1 was gone
I can say this tho
crystal beacon
just if we got any information on that? I wouldn't want to drop 150$ now, just to drop another 60$ in year 😃 - from someone that doesn't live in EU/Canada/USA dropping that would be kind of unreasonable :)
that's exactly why i'm asking @boreal abyss
boreal abyss
Value wise
Beta 2 Cost 15$
And Beta 1 Access costs 5$
when you subtract all the other values in the current packs
crystal beacon
true that. but 15$ is going to a restaurant 7 days a week for some of us 😉
just to put some perspective on that
boreal abyss
Then I would just hold off on buying it and instead watch CC's trying out those phases 😛
One should not stretch oneself economically for a game 😛
crystal beacon
don't worry, luckily i'm in the upper percentiles - just asking because I'm working for small nice gaming news site in my native language
crystal beacon
one more question @boreal abyss - since you seem to be very knowledgable:
when will we always get the cosmetics/the themes for the next months packs?
This month = zombie/undead/dark
next month = ???
boreal abyss
Unknown unless Steven hints 😛
This month is more = Verra's version of Halloween 😛
December Month = Undead/Necromancer themed
crystal beacon
how you know that?
boreal abyss
I bought it
crystal beacon
you mean november, right?
boreal abyss
Cause I wanted that NECROMANCER COSTUME D:
crystal beacon
yeah, but we are in november, not december lol
crystal beacon
ohhh xD, do you have a picture of it?
boreal abyss
sec
crystal beacon
did they say whether or not these monthly cosmetics will be obtainable in the shop at one point in the future?
crystal beacon
oh that's a sweet pack you got there
boreal abyss
I NEEDED that Costume
That page also contains all other packs
if you need that info
crystal beacon
yeah i'm looking through that right now ^^
October 2018: Undead/Necro
September 2018: Desert/Nomad/Oriental
August 2018: Hunter/Nature/Nordic (i'd say)
July 2018: Dwarven
June 2018: Celestial/Star
May 2018: Elven
April 2018: Crusader/Holy
Pax East: weird / Englishman?
March: Nobleman/Aristocracy
December: Necromancer/Undead
is there a reason why there haven't been any packs in January/February?
that's interesting, thanks a lot. Still catching up on the history of the AoC development process a bit ^^
I personally followed it since the Kickstarter but more or less in an on-and-off way
well, i hope they bring an angelic/divine themed pack one day, well that or one that hails the elder lord cthulhu
crystal beacon
saw the kickstarter one, hopefull they will bring another one during the pledge packages
cedar pine
will prices ever lower?
quartz coral
Quick question.... would a lvl 1 stand a chance against a lvl 20 character?
So is headstart pay 2 win ? << this question was asked to me by a friend. (I didn’t have a answer)
boreal abyss
There is no advantage by headstart except for leveling
and that advantage vanishes fast
quartz coral
Is a higher lvl character able to contribute more effectively than a lower lvl character?
To a node
crystal beacon
One could argue that it's easier to contribute to a nodes progress while you are a lower lvl (since Quests, tasks might be easier/quicker then)
boreal abyss
Your amount of contribution doesnt change anything in game as far as I know
if you provide more contribution to a node, I dont know of anything you will get that others won't
crystal beacon
@quartz coral can't answer that yet - we have to wait until we see it implemented in the game.
quartz coral
Well if node progression is what we’re considering winning then if a higher level character contribute more effectively towards a node than a lower level wouldn’t it still be pay 2 win
Ok @crystal beacon
crystal beacon
Could be that higher LvL characters contribute worse than lower lvls as well Reckless
quartz coral
P.s. asking because friends asked me
boreal abyss
doesnt change anything as far as I know, sure they might help get a node up faster, but what does that change? Nothing expect server start topography if anything
quartz coral
Effectiveness matters though @simple ether
boreal abyss
It does not give you an advantage over others tho
others can join the same node so 🤷
so even that point is mute
quartz coral
No cap on amount of players to a node?
boreal abyss
Housing cap
crystal beacon
I'd argue that the main advantage somebody could get is the money they have to buy real estate once it becomes available in the node
boreal abyss
but your contributions does not give you an advantage in buying housing either
crystal beacon
@quartz coral there is
quartz coral
Hmm ok I’m going to leave this alone because it seems like something that can keep going in a circle
crystal beacon
I'd say the headstart overall is neglible, but we will see once beta comes around - no point right now with the lack of information
quartz coral
Yeah but for some it’s not that simple because they will have friends on headstart
boreal abyss
then your friends are pay2win players in your opinon 🤷
quartz coral
Truth
crystal beacon
still, the headstart should be mostly neglible as long as their aren't any weekly/daily lockouts that will set you behind permanently in the game
or a rush for something (like real estate rush in archeage)
boreal abyss
Which isnt possible
So, housing becomes available after a few days of work, meaning others will also have the ability to gather up funds before housing becomes available
quartz coral
I don’t mind a little pay 2 win honestly (my opinion)
As long as they don’t get carried away with it
quartz coral
True as well ...I’ll be leading the uprising of the non-headstart players to take down the nodes of the headstart players
boreal abyss
also if headstart players move away from starting areas to a furhter away node
their node will level slower
because there are waaaaaaaay fewer headstart players than non-headstart players 😛
quartz coral
It will be fun ether way 😋
crystal beacon
@boreal abyss depends on the pricing on it. If it's ludicrously high initially people with headstart will have a good advantage.
I'd even argue that it would make sense that people with more contribution towards that node should have the option to buy housing first rather than just being a rush on who clicks the fastest
boreal abyss
You can argue it, but it wont be like that Wrath
Also, every time a housing is bought, the price on the rest increases afaik
crystal beacon
i mean that's fine. It's a design choice. I'm okay with that as long as they have a good reason for their design choices.
boreal abyss
simple then, becuase headstarters would have an in-game advantage since htey can contribute faster done
Just to mention one point
crystal beacon
can't disagree with that. Was Headstart only available in the Kickstarter or also in the Summer packagesß
?*
dreamy quarry
@simple ether is there a recap video of the 24hr strem info?
boreal abyss
Both because summer packages was extension of Kickstarter
quartz coral
There is over 10k with headstart tho @simple ether
That’s a lot
Hahaha
Still a lot specific or not
crystal beacon
well they said they would close it after 10k sign ups
Main Advantage of the Headstart players: Ability to dodge the login queue and loginserver death on day 1 lol
quartz coral
Only a few headstart servers and capacity is 30k
boreal abyss
Wrath, that was Alpha 1 access, not headstart
crystal beacon
my bad
crystal beacon
@simple ether question: they always talk about 8-10k concurrent useres per server.
Does that mean 8-10k average online at any given time during a day or 8-10k Accounts active on that server? 😃
that's something that was bothering me for a while
boreal abyss
10k online at any time
quartz coral
30k per server but only 10k online
crystal beacon
thank you - love you guys
quartz coral
From my understanding
crystal beacon
love that. 8-10 total would have been a bit sad
quartz coral
Good talking with you @simple ether I think it’s just safe to say they rode a thin line with headstart
boreal abyss
well, no headstart = more likely server issues day 1 tbh 🤷
crystal beacon
well, much rather than headstart i'd be worried about their handling of exploints/gold sellers and hacks/cheats
those issues oftentimes are much more impactful
Well, I usually don't mistrust as long as there are no problems i'll give the benefit of the doubt.
It's still an important mmo issue that can't be ignored

Correct, one handed hasn't been confirmed yet
They have spoken of halberd's (which are traditionally two handed weapons) being of the same type as spears
But that doesn't mean that all spears will be two handed
raven flower
Are you going to be able to have your own unique build by investing "Stats Points" into your basis stats (Power, Dexterity, Constitution, Mentality etc. ) for example when you lv up you receive 5 stats points and you can invest those where you want, this is beside the stats you receive from your race "seeds" Primary/Secondary archetype (Class) or equipment(?) or there's nothing about it at this point? thanks for reading.
stable plover
@raven flower In May 24, 2017 livestream Intrepid said that there would be stat allocations so you could make a 'smart tank' or 'dexterous mage' - In the May 26 2017 livestream Intrepid talked about how subraces will have different base stats and stat growth - So perhaps they intend a mix of passive leveling stats and spent leveling stats, but the references are perhaps a bit old now
raven flower
@stable plover Nice thanks for the answer kinda similar ro ragnarok that I'm used to x)

Hai everyone :3
May I please know when this perfection of a gem is going in to a playable alpha phase for players?
Sorry to bother and thank you in advance for your hard work and dedication!
You guys are so so so amazing and wonderful and I love love love your work!
crystal flax
The phase renamed AoC: Apocalypse, which is A1Phase1, should be opening up to all players within a few weeks I believe
crystal beacon
A few weeks? :3 yay!
raven flower
Note that Apocalypse is focused in how the battle is going to be so it's only going to be a battle royal, and siege/horde mode later on
you could also probably get into the Alpha Phase 2 in the page by buying a package just click on details and look what it brings.
Apocalypse is free. @crystal beacon https://www.ashesofcreation.com/

Oh amazing! Thank you so much! So I can play it in a few weeks? @raven flower

proper bobcat
Wait so doesnt the mechanics of the game make it so only red players drop items? or is it all people if they die?
empty fjord
you always drop a portion of your resources. but corrupted players have a chance of dropping gear, with a higher risk the more corrupted they are
empty fjord
die, wait it out, possibly do quests
but it's nog going to be as easy as die once and be cleared, going to take more if you have a high corruption
proper bobcat
And its visible on the map to all players to collect the bounty?
empty fjord
yes
proper bobcat
If a guildie is corrupt can you claim it
empty fjord
most likely not
proper bobcat
So kill someone once you go purple then twice and youre corrupt?
empty fjord
you go corrupt if the player didn't flag for pvp and didn't fight back
proper bobcat
Sick
empty fjord
from first kill, any subsequent kill in the same manner will increase your corruption and decrease your pvp effectiveness
empty fjord
yeah, makes it harder for you to grief indefinitely and easier for a bounty hunter to end your spree
in my opinion if you try to cheese your way out of corruption the corruption duration should increase
proper bobcat
So like, if you step into lets say a mage's aoe, would that be labeled as attacking, then you could proceed to gank without getting corrupted?
empty fjord
nope
proper bobcat
Why
proper bobcat
Yeah, if the mage is farming animals, then i proceed to step into the aoe, flagging the mage for pvp, i attack the mage flagging me for pvp, then proceed to gank the mage
would be a combatant killing a combatant, therefore not corrupting me
right?
Oh
i see
unless you click on me and do a specific spell to hit me correct?
digital yacht
No
proper bobcat
Im so confused
digital yacht
If the other player doesn’t have pvp enabled u can’t attack them
proper bobcat
Then whats the point of the corruption system
If the person dont wanna pvp they can just disable it, and if they enable it then why become corrupted because they wanna pvp
Ok but why would you have pvp enabled if you have no chance? you would just disable pvp for the mining. Just like the system in World of Warcraft
Ok, so what shadow said is incorrect. If you dont have pvp enabled you can still be killed but the person doing the killing gets corruption.
"Fight back" meens to attack your attacker in offensively of defensively. So that meens if you get attacked you have a chance to fight back against your attacker. Giving you a combatant status. SO according to logic an aoe spell counts as damage. If they cast an aoe spell, i attack them, and then walk into that so called aoe spell than that would be damage done to me. "fighting back"
causing them to go into a combatant state, and allowing me to kill them without being labeled corrupt
crystal flax
AoEs will have different rules regarding flagging, specifically so you can't run into someone's AoE and get free reign to kill them
proper bobcat
Im not trying to cheat anything. Im just wondering because i could be out farming mushrooms and someone found a way to get through the system and i wont have any justice be done to him
crystal flax
It's been said but I can't remember details, also on mobile so can't search
proper bobcat
We are going in circles. Ill just see how the system plays out in game
crystal flax
Even if someone attacks you while you're hunting and casting AoEs, you havent turned PvP on so it won't hit them
Does that help?
proper bobcat
If you dont have pvp enabled and you get attacked, how can you fight back if you cant hit them
proper bobcat
Ok, finally some closure, thanks 😆
crystal flax
The way they always refer to it as "flagging" makes me think it'll just be a button combo, akin to BDO
proper bobcat
So like, do we have info on if the gear the corruption drops is what you are wearing or if it is any gear you have in your inventory?
proper bobcat
ok
digital yacht
We don’t know all the details
proper bobcat
How many inventory slots you got?
crystal flax
I feel like inventory was included at some point, so you can't just unequip everything and die over and over
Could be wrong though
proper bobcat
But if you have a full inventory of grey's 
crystal flax
Maybe it'll prioritize things with higher value 
we really don't know much yet
But I'm pretty sure inventory is included, can't source that though
It makes sense at least
mighty kernel
These systems are subject to change based on ongoing design cycles and testing feedback. Please take debates/discussion to more appropriate channels.
boreal abyss
Gear can drop even from your inventory just fyi
Both Equipped gear and Inventory gear get's flagged when corrupt
As far as I remember
And it makes sense this way, because otherwise, you can avoid this by just stashing your gear in your own inventory to avoid it
(Which doesnt make sense imo)
crystal flax
I had just said that above actually
proper bobcat
I will find a way around this system
crystal flax
Be sure to inform Intrepid so they can fix it

crystal beacon
oh, that's strange then. maybe being reworked or bugged right now
boreal abyss
Did you buy the 250$one or the 375$one?
native obsidian
$225 over a year ago
fallow adder
I believe you can only buy the skins that are in the same pack as you initially purchased
boreal abyss
ah so kickstarter?
native obsidian
Bought lizard mount fine last month
fallow adder
To get the skins from the higher tier you have to upgrade your pack
boreal abyss
there is no 225$in preorder so he has to have KS
fallow adder
Oh KS, nvm , I dont have any idea on that
native obsidian
Nope no Kickstarter, used to be that price
fallow adder
So from the Ashes site then?
boreal abyss
it was never 225, always been 250$ for alpha 2 pack
and first pre-order pack came out in dec, less than a year ago
crystal beacon
If you buy one of the packs off the website, are you able to buy the cosmetics from prior or just the ones that come after?
crystal beacon
Fuuuuck. Ok. Looks like I'll need to get my hands on this juicy undead shit.
boreal abyss
Costume, Ship and Freehold Skin belong to the 375$ pack
meaning you cannot buy them separate if you only have the 250$pack
fallow adder
Must upgrade to the 375 pack
boreal abyss
and if you do, you will only get the skins in that pack, not the ones in the packs below
so will be 125$ for what's exlusive in the 375$ pack
native obsidian
Limited pax exclusive alpha package for 225.
boreal abyss
I have no idea how they count in the system, or if they count at all

Gotcha, very wierd,so unless you spend $375 you can't buy new costumes for more, interesting..
boreal abyss
You can only access the skins in the pack you have or lower as single buys
fallow adder
You can, but only the ones equal to your pack and below
boreal abyss
you have spent 250$
So
375 - 250 = 125$
native obsidian
Sure I can spend 125 for a costume now
fallow adder
Thats the spirit
boreal abyss
the skins themselves total to a price of 75$ anyways
45$ extra in game time
and 25$ extra in embers
Which means a 20$ discount in total on those alone

Plus more sub time

That seems like a very odd payment method, but thanks, for answers

incentive to buy higher pack 😛
It works, I NEEDED the Necromancer Costume in the first month 500$ pack
He is not KS, he has 250$ pack
native obsidian
Yep, seems I need to purchase the $125 upgrade to get costumes. When ashes is released, is that..gonna be the plan ? Limited edition cosmetics only available for certain confirmed amounts of months subscribed?
boreal abyss
Have not heard anything about a subscription reward program
those are usually used in combination with a Free 2 Play game to incentivise players to subscribe so I dont htink so personally
native obsidian
Had no clue that cosmetic items were restricted by pre-order packs you purchase. Seems odd, to not allow someone without a pre- subscription to purchase limited monthly cosmetics. -shrug-
surreal elk
just adds exclusivity to it
boreal abyss
In my personal opinion:
- Selling them separate would devalue the skins
- It incentivies ppl to buy the packs
And, most importantly - If you could buy skins freely from start ,people would make multiple accounts, buy a skin or two per account, then sell them for money when Ashes gets close to release
It being locked behind packs limits the RMT

they advertise it as exclusive to that month. So they can't have people buy them afterwards

Well I have my psedo-draco-lich pet and bonestrider mount already, we'll see if I can make myself purchase for those robes. Thanks all

Pets in general will be cosmetic "fairies" right ? Or will they be bred and skinned as you wish, and provide benefits? Like mounts.
boreal abyss
Cosmetic Pets, Combat Pets
You cannot breed the skins (which is what you buy, pet skins not pets themselves)
Pet skins can be attacked to a Pet, then removed from pet and moved to another Pet later (reusable Skin)

boreal abyss
Skins are purely cosmetic, no benefits
native obsidian
Indeed, but pets will provide some sort of game mechanic, or simply there to be an animated toon next to you?
boreal abyss
two different types of pets
Cosmetic pets, animated toon
Combat Pets, game mechanics
What kind tho we do not know yet
native obsidian
Mount, fairy , and combat pet then? Sounds like a farm already
tame elm
I think they said on stream that the zombie pet can attack people
boreal abyss
It's a Combat Pet Skin Which my Necromancer needed
native obsidian
And third question, before I run off. Any summed up fluff/story notes or reveals from the 24 hour verra campaign? Eager awaiting news on God's from my own cleric.
boreal abyss
native obsidian
Nice thank you, tend to only follow through you tube and some forum, when time permits, that should be useful.
ruby swift
@tame elm They said it can attack things, they never said it is a combat pet skin. Think of the Thanksgiving Turkey pet in WoW. When you had it out, and someone placed a campfire, it would run towards it and suicide and become a cooked turkey. Or when you had a skunk out and someone had a cat out, the skunk would go all Pepe LePew and chase the cat while trying to romance it. They may mean similar cosmetic animations where it chases other cosmetic pets. As others have mentioned, there are two different kinds of pets. The ones you get from the store are in general are cosmetic pets with no stats that can be summoned from level 1. The mounts need a corresponding class of mob from in game to be acquired, and only apply a skin. Since we have had multiple mount skins, but never a combat pet skin before, I believe it to be a cosmetic pet like all the others.

Question about caravans. We know that you can attack players and node caravans. But what exactly happens if you attack a nodes caravan when its trading with another node? Will the mayor or king/queen of that node be informed of who attacked it? If so can they place a bounty on your head to have bounty hunters track you down or do they simply know who you are and take matters into their own hands like telling the citizens your a thief on the road and they should avoid you. Im just curious if there is a system in place to 'punish' people who attack node caravans to their own gain. (like maybe your attacking your own nodes caravan ect) or is it up to the players to deal with the matter on their own (assuming if they are even informed of who attacked it.) yes i know a group of players attack caravans this is all just an example
dark heart
@crystal beacon not sure I understand you question fully but caravans dont have the corruption punishment system in them
crystal beacon
Yeah i know theirs no corruption for attackn caravan but your attackn a node caravan so your most likely killing npcs guarding it. So im curious if the mayor/king of that node gets informed of who attacked it and if there is any way for them to take action towards those who attacked it because they ruined a trade between nodes
Yeah

Wand should still use up mana, right?^^
boreal abyss
Don't think so, since it doesnt make sense for a Bow to use Mana like it also does now
Also, its a basica attack so doesn't make sense to limit it like that cause it will make wands unusable as a weapon when you run out of mana, making there less point in having a wand
vapid glade
fair point
bleak lark
Wands are usually created and endowed with whatever powers they have. Sometimes it is a specific number of uses, and sometimes it is a permanent use spell. It should never require management from the spell caster to use though.

Soooo, when is my $550 beta client going to tell me something other than ''User not found''
Beta 0 & 1 have been out for months. And It never lets me log in.
boreal abyss
in a year, because that's when the beta rolls out
On the serious side tho, you do not use your Ashes of Creation account login details
You use the login credentials you get by email
which is a random string of text for username, and another random string of text for password
valid oriole
And when do I get those credentials..
I got 2 invites to the Alpha 0 testing, but never any credentials or a link to accept the NDA.
And Alpha 1 is out already and I got the $550 kickstarter from last year so I have access to it.

Check #web-maintenance for availability. Your credentials were mailed to you if you were BoW weeks ago. If you failed to notice them, then you need to start that process to get them again. Good luck.

I would like to ask about the skill system. Can the skills of this game be upgraded ? I mean.. it's a bit frustrating when a lvl20 mage and a lvl50 mage use the exact same meteor. It would be nice for some skills to have better visual effects at higher lvls
boreal abyss
Yes they can be upgraded.
Another thing is that skills can have "Augments" added to them that alters the skill itself in some regards
Which you get from your Second Class, Your Race, Your Religion, to mention some
(You will have a limited amount of skill points in total at max level so you cannot max level all skills)
@terse lynx

Ok thanks for the answer

Augments // 🤤

I saw a recent video discussing about the xp system and i got a bit confused. Will we be able to lvl up with pvp ?

@terse lynx ever played toram? It has a skill tree based system that you get x points for and you can only Max’s few out as points are limited
Yes
Pvp pve crafting farming prob exploring as well

so crafting has no seperate xp bar ?

we're not 100% sure how it will work
it seems like it will all be 1 Artisan Tree

or 3 (Gathering Tree, Processing Tree, Crafting Tree)
but all of that is unsure atm

Q: How detailed will maps be?
I like the idea of knowing where vendor NPCs and the like might be, however as far as questing goes, I would prefer a system that does NOT give a dot/circle to go to. I think exploration should be key. Ex. If a quest says: "Talk to the old witch in the forest" I think the map should open up show you where the forest is but it would be the player exploring the forest and finding the NPC as part of the quest. The player could also find other things in the forest that may not have relevance to the current quest but my trigger a the player's memory of the something they found for another quest or lore. I feel truly bored when I just walk to a point in your map talk to an NPC and then I am done. Too many MMOs do this and I do not feel invested in the world they create as a whole and the story the quest is telling me about.
A quote from one of TheLazyPeon's YouTube videos (paraphrasing): A game should be fun to play at all levels and not just at max level. The entire experience should be fun.
Thanks
crystal beacon
This map is not randomly generated, and begins covered in a fog of war.[2] Players will not be able to see the world until they have explored it or gathered information about it. The world is also full of imperfect information, which will require the player to act on it for verification.[3]
For example, you may hear a rumor in a tavern that tells you the location of a cave full of weak Kobolds, but this was not accurate as the rumor was started by well-equipped bandits in order to waylay overconfident adventurers.[3]
When information is gathered, or the player has successfully explored an area, points of interest are marked on the map.[4]

with a release before 2020, presumably close to new year, and betas being short and sweet as Jeff said, expect them just a few weeks before release. so November~December 2019
unless ofc the release is delayed
crystal beacon
So I guess I got a kinda heavy question directed towards <@&257269635559194625> And I'm sorry if this has been answered already. It's a lengthy one, hold fast.
So particularly in the mmo genre I've noticed a lot of games will do things to try and attract new players. Examples may be a deal at a certain time, new gear, levelling bonus, even as far as making the game free. However very rarely in this day and age do I see MMOs rewarding their existing players for supporting them. In some ways I understand, you want new players to keep a game alive. And that's fine. But in other ways I always feel it's a shame as it kinda feels like a slap in the face for those who always support a game.
A good example of a game that thanks players ever so often is league of legends, who give out free cosmetic skins every so often to kind players and have a reward system for people who have been honourable and non toxic.
In this game, and I hope this doesn't come out the wrong way, do you plan to do things to "reward/thank" as such long term players and supporters ? What is your view on what I've said above?
Sorry for the long question, I think the reason I ask this is because in recent times certain game companies feel like they are taking our support as gamers for granted and basically slapping us around. I won't name names but it is happening a lot around us. And I guess I am hoping that this company doesn't fall into the same gang as these game companies whom have forgotten their roots and insulted their player base. (Not that you have done anything to suggest that st all! In fact I think I'm very hopeful because this company seems to really care about us as players and seems to genuinely be in touch with it's community, I am just hoping that never changes!)
empty fjord
they would never go free to play because it would require other monetization schemes if they want the server to keep running.
costumes/cosmetics is highly likely if they indeed want to reward long term players
eternal plover
That's actually a pretty interesting question. I'd also like to know if there will be a loyalty system in place. 😄
empty fjord
I believe this has been asked before, and there was an answer that there will be no login calendar or anything like that
the motivation being that you should not feel incentivized by rewards, but rather having fun playing
eternal plover
That's a valid point. Though does that mean there also won't be daily quests/activities?
tulip hatch
Not in the typical sense but there will be new tasks prompted by events in the world and nearby nodes
empty fjord
they don't want pointless quests to clutter up your experience, nor grind
daily quests are repetative and boring in the long run
crystal beacon
I agree dailies are pretty boring but AoC seems to be steering away from that. I'd like a few large scale actually-epic quests, like a campaign, with the many dynamic quests that are based on node size and location as planned by intrepid
But to answer the core question, I wouldn't put it past intrepid to introduce a loyalty program or veterans only cosmetics
This is just speculation of course. Your early supporter bonuses are a badge of honor, but long term I'm not sure
eternal plover
Hmm. Maybe an anniversary based item.
crystal beacon
Speaking of quests, here's a question: What happens to a metropolis that stands for a very long time (1 year+)? I'd assume that the dynamically generated quests would be exhausted as far as content goes and there would no doubt be repeats, but what about the possibility for a cataclysm or a quest so large that the entire node is at risk? Monster hoards seem too "daily" to be put into the category I'm thinking of and the whole "you awaken a dragon" idea can only be done so many times per node before you start to think you're playing a game in maintenance mode. This obviously assumes sieges have failed many times. Would Intrepid possibly consider that node to be a themepark city in a themebox game? Or would something eventually reduce it to Ashes?
empty fjord
the repeatable quests you would see that might be the closest thing to daily quests would be node quests to get resources for a growing node. I would assume there would be dynamic quests to go to a dungeon that just opened up due to a change in the local node. all these are speculations based upon what Steven has said during the livestreams
crystal beacon
Well at Metropolis level, there is nothing left to grow and likely nothing unexplored. That's where the stagnation could possibly happen. Granted, it takes a LONG time to make a Metropolis, but I'm still wondering if a Phoenix could show up and burn it down
long geyser
I have been looking for the answer to this question and coming up short so I will ask it here. If I bought the wayfarer pack but want to upgrade to the expeditionary pack do I pay the difference between the two? Or do I have to pay the full price for the latter and just have 2 packs with some duplicate items?
frank isle
difference only. e.g pack A = $150, back B = $250. upgrading between the 2 you only pay $100.
long geyser
So just add the pack I want to upgrade to my cart and during payment it totals the difference? Or is there an upgrade pack link I have overlooked?
tulip hatch
No if you scroll down you should see merchandise and individual cosmetics equal to your current package
There youll see the upgrade options
Make sure youre logged in
long geyser
Ok I see them now. Thank you so much for the help guys.
tulip hatch
silent lantern
@crystal beacon From what i understand, if the activity of players in that node drops, then the node starts to decay.
There will undoubtfully be wars and sieges tontrash the metropolis. If by some chance it stands strong then that means that the players like it.
From what i have read there won't be any repeatable quests, so if intrepid sees thst the quests start to run out or get old, they will surely write more stories and have massive events to determine the fate of the node.
Honestly i wouldn't worry about that. If it gets boring players can abandon the node and let it decay to the point where they can advance another one to a metropolis to uncover its hidden stories.
Granted you have enough people hired for the task, you can create stories and wuests and events in large quantities woth no problem.
Granted these people are the right kind of people woth creative mind, the quests will be fun and engaging.
Plus leveling a node and maxing it out, and that's my impression, will be a 'server effort', not a guild one. So it will take a hell of a long time to level it and do everything that is to do with the node itself.
crystal beacon
I suppose apathy would definitely make a node decay as we've heard before, but the empirical leading guild on the server might not be so quick to let their captial fall into ruin. And by leading guild I mean a guild well beyond the max guild member limit (~2000).
silent lantern
@crystal beacon That would mean maxing guilds for guild member count, which might be sub optimal. And managing that many people IMO would be almost impossible.
Even if you manage to have so many people under one flag in a single node, it would be more of an anomaly than anything else, so don't expect for it to happen.
crystal beacon
Well, that's how much of society is. You have a few metropolis and just one Tokyo/Shanghai/Mumbai/NYC. If a large guild (obviously managed outside of the in-game guild system via discord/website) really takes interest in the game, I can see it happening easily
silent lantern
Eh... Interest is one thing, managing that many prople is entirely different. It can be done but as i said, such big guilds with thiusands of players won't be a thing.
It's more like metropolises attract people, so they won't be that easily swayes into lesving it due to having taverns or other types of businesses or even apartments, guild halls and such.
It can happen, but i am ready to dispute the 'easily' part.
crystal beacon
@simple ether what if we have discovered a spot with a village stage node. Haven't been there in let's say 2 weeks but the village has been upgraded to a town. Will we see the upgrade on the map or do we have to discover it again in order for the map to be updated?
aka. will the map live-update changes in the world or do you have to revisit the places for the changes to be marked on the map?
@crystal beacon what do you mean with ~2000? Last news i heard (from steven, here on discord)was the max guild member cap to be 250-300
@crystal beacon As I said, guilds managed outside of the built-in guild system. As in, guilds that have their own website and a large member base well before Intrepid Studios was even founded
ah that's what you mean. I can see those split their guilds into divisions, a pure crafters guild for example
looking forward to see how impactful the guild-skilltree is to discourage guilds from maxing out the member cap and go for something else instead
silent lantern
@crystal beacon That's a hard question - the one towards Jahlon. Both are viable options. Now, which one makes more sense? Auto updating the map when something changes? Or having to go there again so it is updated for the individual.
Given that there will be fog of war initially i'd say the second option is more viable and makes more sense. BUT we will have to ask IS to have that information for sure.
crystal beacon
I see that happening, but i guess individual guilds of zergs being targeted for wars will be a thing either way. Especially with the alliance cap a thing, zergs might not have as good a time as in other games. Now we just have to see how the guild skilltree is to further discourage zerging.
I'd prefer it to only update when you revisit it. A dungeon opens due to a node upgrading? -> Go there again and rediscover it. Keeps exploration a thing while the map is in constant change.
I just hope that the skilltree actually makes going for a lower guild size a viable decision instead of just a "consolation price"
boreal abyss
limited Guild Skill Points, increaseing member cap = consumers Guild Skill Points = 1 less skill that guild can get
proper bobcat
is it known if we will be able to reset our skilltree?

I think they mentioned something the lines of
"A time sink quest to get it done so that you cannot change it on the fly"
