Who makes the wiki then?

#

The devs?

reef osprey

@sand swallow fanmade

proven arrow
#

Most people here can probably explain just about everything. We are all no lifers.

#

Feel free to ask anything

reef osprey
#

Fanmade but with better citations than most university thesis' kappa

sand swallow
#

Then how do we know the info is all correct?

#

Where did the fans that got the info get it from?

#

I need to see this wiki for myself

πŸ‘€ Perhaps you guys should head on over to #aoc-discussion
Seems to be expanding into a discussion πŸ˜„

reef osprey

@tulip hatch i see apex asking question while @proven arrow and me answer feelsthinkingman

sand swallow
#

Lol I see an old western show down with Alluring and Warth glaring at each other from a cross a desert town with their hands readied by the Revolvers on their waists; waiting for the chime of high noon to ring on the church clock in the center of town.

reef osprey
#

Na i love Alluring. Great mod <3 Now its discussing though

sand swallow
#

Lol kk with that said let’s keep the questions going then shall we.

Q: If I am to be a Shipwright in this game will I need the services of a Blacksmith for metal parts or a Siege Equipment master to make Ballistas or Grappling hook launchers for my ships? Will ships even be able to use Siege equipment? Can Ships Siege a port?

proven arrow
#

Yes to all of those

#

I don't feel like finding the proof rn. But I have heard all of those questions answered by the devs at one point.

reef osprey
#

yeah all of those is correct

#

Artisan classes will have a great reliance on trading between each other.

Creates a living economy

#

As far as siege equipment on boats, there's been talk of such, and they said they'd "like" to have sieges from the sea, but not 100% confirmed yet

#

Yep

#

It may end up happening if its not too OP or UP

#

And doesn't add too much dev time

reef osprey
#

Will there be boulder mounts?
I heard the pioneers rode them for miles feelsthinkingman

Are the housing property private only or can it be shared with assigned members (friend, guildmember, or a smaller group unit that is similar to family system in Archeage)?

#

does anyone happen to have a clip / link to that old stage of the game gameplay footage that they had on stream where they ended in like an open-ish field on a path, and the large mob had like an atk pattern/mechanic to it, while someone stood on a rock ?

#

it's from quite a few months ago, but trying to show my girl something, and i can't seem to find it

#

also, it's not in that march 8th live stream on the twitch, it was before that iirc

#

nor can i find it in the january 11th one, so i think it might've been before margaret joined the team ?

plucky pawn
turbid egret
#

you and i actually just found it at the same time lol

#

thanks @plucky pawn

plucky pawn
#

Woohoo! Glad we were able to dig it up πŸ˜ƒ

turbid egret
#

i happened to google "state of the game" and found it

plucky pawn
#

YouTube is typically a better catalog for the older videos than Twitch, as Twitch only saves full "past broadcasts" for 90 days max

oh didn't know that, thanks ! πŸ˜„

#

I thought the Apocolypse version of ashes was free and anyone could play? ive downloaded the launcher but am not able to play because when i try to login it gives me an "Authentication failed, beta credentials not active yet." Am i just mistaken on apocolypes being free and open for everyone?

surreal elk
#

Your not it's just been down since Feb 7. Check #news for when the servers will be back up and running. @wind cloak

tulip hatch
#

Servers were brought down while the developers rework the games infrastructure
No new ETAs have been provided

wind cloak

ah ok thanks for the info guys!

How much till stream?

scenic wave
#

Do we know what tonights stream will be about? #EU

hard marlin
#

Not yet.

empty fjord
#

Maybe the Dev Diary that is due today xD

#

they release it 2 seconds before the stream starts, and then they go. let's talk about this

coarse fiber
#

Forum related question: when you check someone's profile... for what are these points?

empty fjord
#

what points @coarse fiber

coarse fiber
#

@empty fjord for example I used nagash's profile

#

Damokles got zero points. I got 6 points

tulip hatch
#

Doing things on the forums or recieving likes provide points however the points don't do anything since the ranking function was disabled

reef prawn
#

As far as I know is the amount of "likes" you got and stuff

#

They're just for bragging rights basically

hard marlin
#

I have 0 points. get rekt

coarse fiber
#

Well there's someone who has triple the amount of likes but just half of my points πŸ˜‚

#

Also has more posts and everything

tulip hatch
#

πŸ‘€ To the discussion channel with theee!

open granite
#

Quote from Know your nodes: β€œSocieties and Organizations begin to patronize the Town with ranking structures for players to participate in." What the ranking structures mean? Can I get an example?

hard marlin
#

Herbalism house, Armory, blacksmith building, Library etc. I think

fading latch
#

Correct. Every node type gets a unique building that empowers that node.

azure ermine
#

I'm still a bit confused about divine metropolis, how do you rank up and become mayor of a divine metropolis?

tulip hatch
#

The Divine type chooses its leaders through service oriented quests
Quests that directly help others and their Node, quests that prove their faith and dedication to the node

reef osprey
#

@tulip hatch will there also be negative contribution?

PKing of Node members, robing a node caravan?

Steven said long time back that there won't be an "evil" path beyond your characters own perceived actions.

I really like the lore we’ve been getting on the newer cosmetics but can we not forget about the older cosmetics I would like to get lore on those as well... example :

When will we get a chance to buy the Dec & Jan monthly items that we couldn't buy because of everything being down? I ask because we were told we would be able to buy them when everything was working.

waiting for next pay so i can upgrade from 150 to 250$ then next pay to 375 πŸ˜›

#

does 375$ inc name reservation and early access to release?

#

oh yes it does

#

πŸ˜„

#

cant wait Purchase completed successfully

#

lol

#

all good name res is worth it πŸ˜ƒ

reef osprey
#

@simple ether 375 gives headstart though, right?

regal oak
#

he said nope

#

" does not give Early Access.'

#

a 24 hour headstart would be sick lol

mild blaze
#

If you purchase a pack with alpha or beta, there will be a server wipe before the game actually goes live, correct?

regal oak
#

yup

mild blaze
#

Thanks, I feel better now

regal oak
#

πŸ˜ƒ

mild blaze
#

Also reguardig classes, do we know what choosing the same class for primary and secondary will do?

#

Or any ideas reguarding it?

reef osprey
#

@mild blaze you double down on your decision to play the role.
You get augments, the same way as any other secondary

regal oak
#

ah

#

I cant wait for detailed info

reef osprey
#

but tank secondary augments will be focused on tank-stuff

regal oak
#

hyped

mild blaze
#

I am planning on being a tank primary and secondary but I've been wondering if that would be shooting myself in the foot.

#

Lack of versatility and such

weak niche
#

I doubt it would lack versatility

#

I mean it wouldnt be dull especially tank tank

regal oak
#

welp i might go for Weapon Master or archwizard

mild blaze
#

But would it make me a more solid tank than someone whose chosen to Branch out? Like could I be more specialized?

weak niche
#

Yea thats the point

#

Main class decides the skills, secondary augments them, not sure you know that

#

So its not too different anyway

reef osprey
#

@weak niche
secondary and primary also decide Stat seefing

#

seeding

mild blaze
#

I did, I think I'm worried about my lack of understanding of how a double tank would change with their augments

weak niche
#

I didnt know that thats cool

mild blaze
#

What do you mean by stat seeding?

reef osprey
#

natural stat growth

mild blaze
#

Oh okay, that's really interesting

#

So someone who is like a double tank will be a lot healthier than someone who's only a primary tank

#

In theory

reef osprey
#

we dont know how impactful natural stats will be

weak niche
#

Thats the idea though but we dont know much either

mild blaze
#

Do we know what the Livestream today is about? Could it be about classes and races?

weak niche
#

They will tease the classes further later into the development I bet

reef osprey
#

@simple ether
Was it somewhere written that headstart is KS exclusive?

weak niche
#

I heard it might be about housing?

crystal beacon
#

how are you going to deal with the updating node level from a town into a city in real time? @sudden kernel

plucky pawn
#

@crystal beacon he's on the stream so unlikely to see the ping here - I replied to you a few times on Twitch, I asked you to clarify your question a bit but when you didn't I patched it through anyways πŸ˜„

reef osprey
#

@crystal beacon
Everybody is teleported out, there will be a delay and after a time the new node will be there

crystal beacon
#

@plucky pawn sorry, i cant read twitch chat ^^, thank you for trying. What i meant was what will happen when a node levels up? obviously the area will change but will everyone in the node's are be taken to a singular place/hub or will it only effect the people in the town when it transitions over to a city per say.

weak niche
#

How much of a difference will there be between gear that is the easiest to get level 50 gear and the best gear?

fresh heart
#

Everyone in the node will not be taken to a singular place/hub. Only the people who might be in a bad spot for collision will be bumped to a safer location to avoid being stuck in a wall.

reef osprey
#

@weak niche no info but they said that they want put in effort be felt

weak niche
#

It is pretty important to me because, I'm more of a PvP'er and I don't wanna get hard outgeared

#

But I guess I can make money PvP'ing right

reef osprey
#

@weak niche just rob caravans, make monies

weak niche
#

@reef osprey I'mma find the best caravan robber class πŸ˜„

grave bear
#

you will almost certainly find combat when it comes to caravans

#

the more you raid the more likely support will be sent to a caravan

weak niche
#

Thing is I also like to play alone so I'm probably gonna have to find a guild

reef osprey
#

@weak niche well the caravans worth it cant be robbed solo probably

#

better find one that is good in small scale pvp 5-25 people id say

weak niche
#

@reef osprey I'd rather find it after I've learned more about my class and leveled up a bit, Do we know if leveling is harder solo?

reef osprey
#

define hard. Time intensive, grindy, difficult?

weak niche
#

All equals to time instensive πŸ˜„

reef osprey
#

its supposed to take 45 dsys to max

#

weak niche
#

Yeah but if it is easier with a group I'd rather not solo

reef osprey
#

nobody knows

#

wait 9 months

weak niche
#

Okay then thank you

reef osprey
#

Is there a class that uses a brick as a weapon? Always wanted to play sonebody that wallops people with a brick

hidden crane
#

Dont know about bricks specifically, but Steven did mention that you'd be able to wield sigils

#

For example, 1H sword in one hand and a Sigil/Orb/Rune in the other hand.

#

As for actually smacking players with it, unknown.

rigid flicker
#

Anyone know when testing will be up again?

reef osprey
#

@rigid flicker nobody does

#

not even intrepid

azure vector
#

So obviously there will be the standard biomes such as forests, plains, etc. But does anyone know if there will be a savanah biome where long necked spotted herbivores roam??

#

and will there be a mesa biome to gather terracota and such??

willow warren
#

just making sure, the packs in the store contain nothing that won't be available in-game for in-world valuables, neh?

tough briar
#

@willow warren I believe that was touched on during this last stream. Some things certainly can be obtained in game. Someone more informed should answer this.

reef osprey
#

@willow warren those exact costumes and skins won't be available ingame no

tough briar
#

Too bad that stuff looks like crap.

silent lantern
#

@azure vector nobody knows

reef osprey
#

There is better and worse ones.
Apr - May 2018 was one of the best

desert ivy
#

Hopefully they release some sick looking costumes soon. Haven't gotten any in like a year lul

steady gust
#

any news when alpha 2 is coming out?

surreal elk
#

@steady gust no dates are given, we arent even at siege, then horde mode, then A1. A2 is pretty far away

steady gust
#

darn

empty fjord
#

do we know tho if we need to wait for the third season of apoc to be over before they open A1?

#

or if they will run A1 in parallel with the second and/or third season of apoc

#

Aye, but people keep stating what Gundel said as if it's fact

#

that's why I asked, maybe I had missed something

reef osprey
#

Somebody will have to wash their head, if they start making decision for the MMORPG based on what season the BR is in.

#

Alpha 1 should come out when it's ready and when it makes sense to being tested.
If the BR can't handle that population, then maybe its a bad project to begin with.

robust marsh
#

^ Agreed but most have given up hope at this point... releasing this... and that... and the next... with no alpha 1 in sight.

hard marlin
#

@simple ether Are you going to do a recap of the stream on YouTube?

forest pike
#

Did we get any juicy info?

reef osprey
#

@forest pike
mostly housing and freehold stuff

forest pike
#

Yeah I heard it's bad

reef osprey
#

@forest pike housing?
na that looks pretty damn good

forest pike
#

Nah ppl in aoc disccution channel saying the stream was

#

I'm about to watch it

reef osprey
#

well, better than eso/AA/FFXiV at least
not quite SWG or Wildstar LvL

stream was decent 7/10 or so. People just dumb

#

set unrealistic expectations Nd get upset when they aren't met.

entitled kiddies everywhere

hard marlin
#

We have different opinions so that makes us dumb?

reef osprey
#

@hard marlin
na, going to bed believing the sky will be green when you wake up is

#

and being upset if it isn't

hard marlin
#

What does that have to do with anything

reef osprey
#

like i said before, people set completely unrealistic expectations and get upset if they aren't met.

hard marlin
#

I don't' believe I was being too unreasonable

#

Hell I've even said I hope they take more time than they need to finish the game

reef osprey
#

I neither know your expectations, nor how you felt about the stream.
Not every discussion revolves around you though

hard marlin
#

Okay clearly you're going through something.. good talk

dusty fable
#

dang im really hate myself so the livestream for me is 2 am and i've been awake until 1:30 am so i just lie down a bit and i accidentally fall asleep

hard marlin
#

if you missed it

dusty fable
#

thanks

#

what is it about actually

#

i saw on twitch something bout technology

hard marlin
#

Mostly building creation, it actually looks incredibly impressive

reef osprey
#

@dusty fable
Housing/Freeholds mostly

hard marlin
#

But then again I'm just an "entitled self centered person with unrealistic expectations" so who knows

reef osprey
#

modular designing tech, to quickly build good looking, non repetitive assets for world building purposes

hard marlin
#

Which is brilliant design imo for a game that wants replayability

#

honestly I will be spending a lot of time laying out freeholds etc.

reef osprey
#

true that. Considering that some devs worked on EQ:N / Landmark i was hoping for a system like that

#

hopefully they use "innovative" tech like that in other aspects of the game as well apart from nodes

proven arrow
#

They will be doing something similar for their modular gear design

reef osprey
#

@proven arrow you mean for crafting?

proven arrow
#

Hate that satchel on your belt? change it out for a skull. Don't like wearing a hood? Put it down.

#

no

#

their transmog system

hard marlin
#

its not only brilliant from a creative standpoint, but also good use of dev time and saving future dev time by creating modular pieces, it was thiis way in Playstation Home and other "games" that had these types of player housing, which was good for monetization too

reef osprey
#

oh okay

proven arrow
#

is modular

fading latch
#

PlayStation Home feelsbadman

#

Loved it

hard marlin
#

I was going through my Scene phase when I played PSHome

reef osprey
#

true that. No way we'lΓΆ see something like that from eastern mmos ever

hard marlin
#

anyways - wrong chat

proven arrow
#

Talked to Matt Broume and he told me they have over 20 something modular pieces on a single player model that can be adjusted via modular parts. So you can add a bandolier or hang some potions on your belt or whatever you want really.

#

way back at pax west*

hard marlin
#

Interesting

reef osprey
#

Well, that's great. Good for people enjoying the fashion ingame.

Hopefully the other systems will be just as polished

hard marlin
#

Monetize that shit, I'll throw my money at it

proven arrow
#

He said they'd like to add even more than that by launch. a loose goal of 30+. for reference WoW, uses maybe 12 moving parts tops.

hard marlin
#

20$ for steampunk goggles? you got my money

reef osprey
#

that's something they expand post launch as well.

hard marlin
#

that way players like me can fund the further development of the game so the gameplay remains NOT p2w

Does someone know when the beta start?

we did have one today

torn surge
#

oh

hidden crane
#

They did have a QnA during the Livestream as they do in almost every livestream.

#

Questions are fielded in different ways, sometimes via chat, sometimes via forums and other means.

torn surge
#

Okay next question is, when do they put that on youtube normally?

hidden crane
#

The livestream usually goes on youtube within the next few days on their official youtube channel.

dry flower
#

normally next day

torn surge
#

Okay

#

Ty :]

dry flower
#

you can watch the recording on their twitch though

torn surge
#

watching it now. Just threw me off that it wasnt on youtube, and the dev diaries was. :] I normally watch them via youtube, never available to make the stream sadly.

Well enjoy the stream! And let us know if you have any follow up questions :D

Hello, I wanted to ask, when is the next stage? or did alpha stage 1 not get announced yet??

rotund oar
#

No dates. To be announced.

empty fjord
#

ye but since you don't know for sure, don't say that here as this is a place for questions and factual answers

silent lantern
#

Well, since we are in Q2 and Q3 and 4 are basically the second half of the year.. That's a safe guess for anything πŸ˜‚

#

They need to have something more than the BR for the testing to go well

empty fjord
#

it's still a guess nontheless and has nothing to do here

Hey I am unable to login into launcher of ashes of creation ?

#

In a lot of games they have stats like intelligence strength, wisdom and so on. But generally gain points from combat in all of the stats. Will it be possible to gin intelligence from reading lore in game with your character and maybe answering A short questionnaire at the end.

#

It’s a cool way to get stronger without grinding and could give a real reason for library usage

#

And a real reason to look for lore and special books based off of how many intelligence or wisdom points you get. I’m not sure if you are going that point system route but I though it would be a cool idea for immersion

muted lichen
#

Would be cool to have some sort of system where you start off unable to read another races language but slowly learn the words over time

#

Similar to No Mans Skys system

#

Maybe the related races (eg mountain dwarves and forest dwarves) start off knowing some of their related races language too, kinda like how portuguese and spanish have some shared words

mossy elbow
#

Is there a release date for APOC yet?

fading latch
#

No

silent lantern
#

I would support it if it was about lore and stuff like that. Having to find and learn an ancient language and so on. But as far as it goes for generally not being to understand anything from another race.. that's dumb.

serene sparrow
#

So I have two questions. 1) How can a combatant become a non-combatant again? Is this the same as a corrupted player as they die or do religious stuff? 2) It says if you die as a non-combatant you get negative EXP, which lowers your states. I'm assuming to counteract this you get normal EXP but if you are in a dungeon or something and the party wipes its only going to get harder as you die. I feel like this is going to push people from trying difficult dungeons or tasks as you really only have 2 or 3 tries before its pointless. Am I missing something?

hidden crane
serene sparrow
#

That is were I got these questions from.

hidden crane
#

The death penalty is in the form of 'Experience debt'. Dying as a non-combatant causes you to be hit with the full experience debt.

#

However, if you attempt to fight back, you get flagged as a combatant and experience a more lenient death penalty (for example less experience debt)

serene sparrow
#

I understand that but is the Negative EX only if you die from another player?

#

or any death

hidden crane
#

Its upon any death - This might change as the game is actively in development and things require testing/feedback.

#

Additionally there's a possibility that exp debt wont exist in regular dungeons, only open world dungeons, but this is primarily an assumption based on other games. We'd have to wait for an official statement from Intrepid regarding EXP debt not applying in instanced dungeons.

reef osprey
#

i wouldnt mind neg. exp in dungeon

but skill/stat dampening might either be problematic for dungeons are not impactful enough to matter outside as long as there isn't an exception for ins. pve content

serene sparrow
#

Assuming it is for open dungeons I guess the lowering states would be the bigger problem. Like I mentioned you would only get 2 or 3 chances and then its pointless.

#

Also, about the first question. the wiki does not talk about going from combatant to non-combatant. Did I miss something or do we not have this info yet?

hidden crane
#

Regarding flagging itself, we're under the assumption that you basically enable combatant mode via a hotkey combination similar to Lineage/AA/BDO/etc. Under this assumption, after the PvP, you'd simply wait for the short cooldown and disable it via hotkey same way you enabled it. Again, this is an assumption based on the way the systems have been talked about, it hasnt been explicitly stated by the devs yet

serene sparrow
#

Ok, so you decide to fight another combatant, making you a combatant. After the fight you wait a period of time and then go back to non-combatant. Assuming what you said is correct, I understand things may change.

Correct, as the game is in active development, systems and mechanics are expected to change as we progress further in development throughout the various testing phases.

#

I can say that during the Alpha 0 test back in December 2017, we did have a hotkey of sorts to enable PvP, but that was an incredibly early build and may have changed.

serene sparrow
#

Thank you, this helps put things together in my head.

hidden crane
#

Cheers, remember that you can discuss those systems with the other testers in #aoc-discussion

serene sparrow
#

So after some reading I think I found the answer to the lower states when dying. It says that " This dampening only affects PvP combat".

hidden crane
#

You only experience reduced character stats during corruption/pvp death - we might need an updated statement by the devs on this

coarse fiber
#

As non combatant you drop some raw materials and get a xp debt

hidden crane
coarse fiber
#

Yeah, but there's a limit

#

Or you won't ever get up again

serene sparrow
#

I am worried about this lowering states stuff. If this is PVP only then no worries. On the other hand if this is for any death then dungeons and the like will only allow 2 or 3 attempts before it is no longer possible. Pushing people away from trying challenging content.

hidden crane
#

We havent seen the system working in-game yet, so it's best to wait until Alpha 1 and try it out for ourselves to see what its like.

serene sparrow
#

Fair enough

hidden crane
#

The developers have a large amount of experience working on similar games and have developed such systems for past games such as Everquest/SWG/etc

When a node levels up, do the changes to buildings happen instantly or at a set time? Also, what happens to the players within a node when it levels up? I guess there could be issues with getting stuck in walls or bridges that weren't there before.

silent lantern
#

Instantly

#

your get outed of the vicinity is my guess

small pecan
#

Currently, it’s instant. People get teleported to a safe place if they’re in a bad location. Intrepid is looking at potentially making it more gradual in the future

#

Such as showing people hammering buildings for the hour leading up to it

sturdy fox
#

Thanks for the quick answers!

Will we be able to get the Night Hunter again?
From APOC?

If that is a reward from the APOC track then yes. They will be brought back when APOC comes back.

#

I tried to ask in chat but was just trolled so ill ask here. Is there any type of caravan that players can drive themselves?

empty fjord

I assume the private caravans are driven by the player

@steady knoll Caravans can be driven by players or by NPC's. Player driven caravans share their HP pool with the owner of the caravan.

lilac parrot
#

Is it possible to attack/debilitate a node that is owned by another guild?

#

To disrupt economic flow, directly raid them, etc.

small pecan
#

yes! but first: nodes are not owned by guilds. castles are. nodes are owned by a general populace. you can kill/raid a node's caravans that are trading supplies. you can also declare a node war on them (which is not the same thing as a node siege) where the winner can inflict damage on the other. ofc you can declare a node siege and win, where you completely tear down the other node

lilac parrot
#

What effect would this have, attack trade caravans? Do the raiders claim the supplies? Are the people involved in the caravan notified?
What are the implications of declaring a war on a node? Is this an attack on castles and freeholds? An attempt at forcibly claiming resources?

small pecan
#

ah, ok! nodes automatically spawn trade caravans with other nodes that the node has trade agreements with. they are patrolled by NPCs. you can kill them. they hurt the nodes economically (not sure how, specifically). I'm not sure what the reward is either. but players can also spawn caravans. you can attack the caravans spawned by citizens of the node you want to hurt. killing them and destroying the caravan causes the caravan to drop a redeemable note worth a portion of the goods on the caravan. the rest of it gets automatically sent back to the origin node

lilac parrot
#

Thanks.
My friends and...
Partners...
Are discussing how to defend ourselves and our microcosm in event of attack.

small pecan
#

you can always bring a bunch of friends!

lilac parrot
#

We're just pre-planning what nodes to "conquer" and establish economics in.
I'll continue my research henceforth. Thank you.

small pecan
#

np! just wanted to throw in that when a node is sieged and destroyed, your freehold can be destroyed for a couple hours by pillaging players. having it get destroyed makes it lose all the resources stowed inside it and some of the resources used to build it. but you still get the blueprints back and can restore it elsewhere--so basically, you CAN get hurt but not wiped out of the game, haha

lilac parrot
#

flashes back to Eve

silent lantern
#

@lilac parrot @small pecan if you consistently stop shipments of materials towards a node in large quantities that will hinder its advancement. You want to build that Library? Though luck, no stone or wood available. You want to upgrade the wall? Same problem.

#

If i buy the 75$ pack i will be able to play only 2 moths in beta 2?

coarse fiber
#

Nope. It's meant for the full game that you buy with the package 2 months of play time. The beta access gives you access to the beta which is noted

hidden crane
#

@novel matrix The game time included in all pre-order packs is for release/launch. We dont know how long the Alpha/Beta phases will last, that is completely up to Intrepid Studios. However they have mentioned that they dont want players to experience all content before release as they'd like launch to be a unique and fresh experience.

when you're swapping between hotkeys on the mouse then some on the keyboard, its nice to be able to switch to holding mouse buttons to move then back to WASD mid fight so you dont stop moving sometimes

@waxen quartz yeah and a status which tells us that servers are down and will be for a certain amount of time. I am a dev myself so I don't blaim them, epic projects like this take some time.

Well I am not sure if I want a refund. It looks really great and I would love to play it. But I am worried it will take a year or so before I could play. Is there really no estimation at all? Like not even exact month, but more a timespan (i.e. in 2-4 months, 6-8 months, ....)

plucky pawn

@waxen quartz I know the my.com site has some handy text next to the "download now" button for Apocalypse that lets you know that testing times may be limited due to Beta, so we're hoping to get that added to our site as well to make that more clear πŸ˜ƒ

waxen quartz

@plucky pawn Any idea on when cosmetics will change?

torn delta
#

Well I will just wait, I was a little worried because I read some posts stating that developement stopped pretty much, but you guys seam to be actively thinking about it (as far as I saw here and on your page). 80€ isn't much for a game studio but if more people buy it you guys have better chances of finishing this really awesome looking game πŸ˜ƒ

The economic/military/divine node articles are all part of the roadmap, as are in-depth looks at various systems. We'll just have to be patient and wait for them to release them when they're ready.

do we have any eta on showing off some progress, like the other four archtypes, skill trees, other race models etc ? I love concept art and screenshots as much as the next guy but there is soooo much we still have no idea of the stages you are at with, and considering the original release was to be in 7 months time I had hoped we would atleast have seen something, are you waiting to off load alot of progress at the one time or is there something we should worry about ?

hidden crane
#

There is no current ETA on the topics you've mentioned. However Intrepid has planned a content roadmap which consists of blog posts, video developer diaries and more which contain information on the game and its various systems (Such as the scientific node blog released last month)

Regarding being worried about the game - In my personal opinion, the game's state would be worrying if the studio was constantly losing developers with no gain. However this is not the case with Intrepid, in the past few months they have acquired over 20+ new developers, most of which are well known in the industry for nearly 10 years such as Margaret Krohn, Lieutenant Toast and Babbletr0n.

#

As such, there's not much to be concerned about, the devs are hard at work. Check back in occasionally to keep up with the game's progress.

If I unlock a legendary power or I find something one of a kind in game will my name become legendary on the battlefield? For example if I'm a mage and I unlock the secret powers of a religion will I be overwhelmingly powerful and will people talk about me? The mage of light or something like that

Would AoC devs consider adding a text channel on this discord for progress pictures? Like a sneak peak compilation throughout development.

We do already have some videos on youtube that delve deeper into the development.

Right, I’ve seen, I’m talking more like random photos that devs may want to showcase of their work from day to day or whenever they simply feel like showing off their work

No commitment, share at their own will style of channel, I think it’d be great to see things as they’re being sculpted an etc

I just purchased a pre-order pack that is supposed to give me access to the "persistent" server. Still saying beta credentials are not active. I was under the impression that the servers would be on until release. Is this not correct?

@dim mulch You should have read before buying

@dim mulchthe br itself is not the problem. Its the backend netcode wich is getting reworked for the whole mmo

#

To handle massive amounts of players

dim mulch
#

Lol they couldnt even handle 50 people at start and they wanted to jump to above 100 people so quickly

woeful zephyr

It's called progress

It's called over selling

As i said. Its getting reworked

The above link should help you file a support ticket with whatever concerns you may have

#

Additionally, the BR was successfully scaled up to a 200-player full match during the February 7th spot test.

dim mulch
#

The guys question was because of this delay and poor representation of what was promised, when br reopens will there even be 100 ppl interested in playing

hidden crane
#

Since then they have identified core architecture issues which they have openly discussed and have been working on the new backend etc. since. then.

dim mulch
#

@hidden crane I thought the game crashed alot during the 200 spot play test that I was in

hidden crane
#

They managed to do a full 200 player test from start to finish.

#

As of the April 30th livestream, the developers stated that they are nearly 90% done with the rework with the last 10% remaining. We have no ETA currently on any dates.

I have a question about the AoC apocalypse launcher and the old apocalypse app it self.

Should we keep it installed or is it useless now to have it, as the new apocalypse will be totally different and wont use the old data? Or will it update on the old version and therefore worth keeping it?

west solstice
#

At least we'll get a new launcher, that has been confirmed. But whether we'll have to do a complete uninstall of the game or not is unclear

@west solstice i hope the game will also be included

Is aoc ever going to be on steam

woeful zephyr
#

Not from what they've said, the client will be downloadable from their website.

crystal beacon
#

Ok

west solstice
#

@crystal beacon Hey! Thanks for that great question. My guess would be that the launcher purely focuses on a wide range of concept art and lore!

small pecan

@crystal beacon, as a supplement to what Zara said, Apocalypse MIGHT be on Steam in the future. But yea, not AoC

scarlet moth
#

@vale turtle Here's my thoughts on protecting caravans and merchant marines. The node deputizes 'highwayman'. It gives them some authority to protect and deal justice. Like shady bounty hunters. Just a thought. So if we have a merchant focused guild, the PVP arm of our diverse membership can protect caravans and dole out justice?

#

sorry off topic

#

a quasey question.

vale turtle
#

Yeah, imo caravans should not get free way from A to B

#

And there should be option to either protect it yourself or with NPCs, from a merchant's guild member's standpoint

oak plume
#

i believe that the town /city needs to know of the location of another before a connection is there

vale turtle
#

That'd be cool. Though the conditions of one settlement 'knowing' where another one is needs to be fletched out clearly.

scarlet moth
#

Has Steven considered this for merchant or other nodes? That is, deputizing PVP players to do the nodes bidding (like hired guns)? Particularly when it comes to so called 'free trade' lanes. Thinking out of the box here?

#

In my humble opinion - this will make caravans and sea faring interesting?

tulip hatch
#

You can hire npc guards as well as players have the option to defend or attack the caravan
So yes this has been considered

vale turtle
scarlet moth
#

I'm getting in hot water now.... A simple non answer.

#

The question is .... can the mayor of a node deputize PVPers to defend their trade routes? I think it's TBD?

@scarlet moth As Alluring said, players can hire other players for certain activities. This is confirmed.
However whether a mayor can do so is unknown at this time.

I believe the last test was in feburary then they closed the servers to work on the games infrastructure

Thanks for the info, I am really hoping that the process goes smooth, and they launch the amazing game they promised even if it is delayed. And it would be also good if they open apocalypse again for some time so I can get some game time again and it it will also make the wait time less frustrating. πŸ˜›

they will open apoc asap when they have tested it internally. they want the BR done and tested so they can move on to castle sieges

Yea, Maggie said races and classes were high priority today! And that she wants to make a video showcasing each race’s development from start to finish. When I asked her if she’s going to do them before more nodes stuff, she said β€œthings can go in parallel.” No guarantees in that, but seems like she’s focused on it currently along with nodes

None of the trade shows are a given. If there has been no resolution to their current problems by the date in summer where they have to make that decision why would they go. Can't really go to PAX to promote and demo your game if you have nothing to show.
