@sand swallow fanmade
Most people here can probably explain just about everything. We are all no lifers.
Feel free to ask anything
Fanmade but with better citations than most university thesis' 
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
citations

links to the official livestreams are below
See those [1] citations those have quotes.
π Perhaps you guys should head on over to #aoc-discussion
Seems to be expanding into a discussion π
@tulip hatch i see apex asking question while @proven arrow and me answer 
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.
Na i love Alluring. Great mod <3 Now its discussing though
Lol kk with that said letβs 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?
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.
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
Will there be boulder mounts?
I heard the pioneers rode them for miles 
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)?
@azure ermine You will be able to manage the access list for your Freehold, yes - here's an article from one of our helpful community wikis with a bit more info: https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Player_housing

dang
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 ?
@turbid egret Hey there! Is it this video, like the fighting around the 28 minute mark? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRETPXuUEJs
Woohoo! Glad we were able to dig it up π
i happened to google "state of the game" and found it
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 ! π
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?
Your not it's just been down since Feb 7. Check #news for when the servers will be back up and running. @wind cloak
Servers were brought down while the developers rework the games infrastructure
No new ETAs have been provided
ah ok thanks for the info guys!
How much till stream?
Do we know what tonights stream will be about? #EU
Not yet.
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
Forum related question: when you check someone's profile... for what are these points?
what points @coarse fiber
@empty fjord for example I used nagash's profile
Damokles got zero points. I got 6 points
Doing things on the forums or recieving likes provide points however the points don't do anything since the ranking function was disabled
As far as I know is the amount of "likes" you got and stuff
They're just for bragging rights basically
I have 0 points. get rekt
Well there's someone who has triple the amount of likes but just half of my points π

Also has more posts and everything
π To the discussion channel with theee!
Quote from Know your nodes: βSocieties 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?
Herbalism house, Armory, blacksmith building, Library etc. I think
Correct. Every node type gets a unique building that empowers that node.
I'm still a bit confused about divine metropolis, how do you rank up and become mayor of a divine metropolis?
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
@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 weβve 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.
hey, livestream in 3 hours?
and 15 mins yes
ty
waiting for next pay so i can upgrade from 150 to 250$ then next pay to 375 π
does 375$ inc name reservation and early access to release?
oh yes it does
π
cant wait Purchase completed successfully
lol
all good name res is worth it π
@simple ether 375 gives headstart though, right?
If you purchase a pack with alpha or beta, there will be a server wipe before the game actually goes live, correct?
yup
Thanks, I feel better now
π
Also reguardig classes, do we know what choosing the same class for primary and secondary will do?
Or any ideas reguarding it?
@mild blaze you double down on your decision to play the role.
You get augments, the same way as any other secondary
but tank secondary augments will be focused on tank-stuff
hyped
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
welp i might go for Weapon Master or archwizard
But would it make me a more solid tank than someone whose chosen to Branch out? Like could I be more specialized?
Yea thats the point
Main class decides the skills, secondary augments them, not sure you know that
So its not too different anyway
I did, I think I'm worried about my lack of understanding of how a double tank would change with their augments
I didnt know that thats cool
What do you mean by stat seeding?
natural stat growth
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
we dont know how impactful natural stats will be
Thats the idea though but we dont know much either
Do we know what the Livestream today is about? Could it be about classes and races?
They will tease the classes further later into the development I bet
@simple ether
Was it somewhere written that headstart is KS exclusive?
I heard it might be about housing?
Thanks
We'll see soon enough :D
It's 11am Pacific right?
It starts in about an hour
when a livestream will be on ?
@open sierra we'll be kicking off in about 20 minutes!
sup!
how are you going to deal with the updating node level from a town into a city in real time? @sudden kernel
@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 π
@crystal beacon
Everybody is teleported out, there will be a delay and after a time the new node will be there
@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.
How much of a difference will there be between gear that is the easiest to get level 50 gear and the best gear?
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.
@weak niche no info but they said that they want put in effort be felt
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
@weak niche just rob caravans, make monies
@reef osprey I'mma find the best caravan robber class π
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
Thing is I also like to play alone so I'm probably gonna have to find a guild
@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
@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?
define hard. Time intensive, grindy, difficult?
All equals to time instensive π
Yeah but if it is easier with a group I'd rather not solo
Okay then thank you
Is there a class that uses a brick as a weapon? Always wanted to play sonebody that wallops people with a brick
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.
Anyone know when testing will be up again?

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??
just making sure, the packs in the store contain nothing that won't be available in-game for in-world valuables, neh?
@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.
@willow warren those exact costumes and skins won't be available ingame no
Too bad that stuff looks like crap.
@azure vector nobody knows
There is better and worse ones.
Apr - May 2018 was one of the best
Hopefully they release some sick looking costumes soon. Haven't gotten any in like a year lul
any news when alpha 2 is coming out?
@steady gust no dates are given, we arent even at siege, then horde mode, then A1. A2 is pretty far away
darn
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
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.
^ Agreed but most have given up hope at this point... releasing this... and that... and the next... with no alpha 1 in sight.
@simple ether Are you going to do a recap of the stream on YouTube?
Did we get any juicy info?
@forest pike
mostly housing and freehold stuff
Yeah I heard it's bad
@forest pike housing?
na that looks pretty damn good
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
We have different opinions so that makes us dumb?
@hard marlin
na, going to bed believing the sky will be green when you wake up is
and being upset if it isn't
What does that have to do with anything
like i said before, people set completely unrealistic expectations and get upset if they aren't met.
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
I neither know your expectations, nor how you felt about the stream.
Not every discussion revolves around you though
Okay clearly you're going through something.. good talk
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
Mostly building creation, it actually looks incredibly impressive
@dusty fable
Housing/Freeholds mostly
But then again I'm just an "entitled self centered person with unrealistic expectations" so who knows
modular designing tech, to quickly build good looking, non repetitive assets for world building purposes
Which is brilliant design imo for a game that wants replayability
honestly I will be spending a lot of time laying out freeholds etc.
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
They will be doing something similar for their modular gear design
@proven arrow you mean for crafting?
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
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
oh okay
is modular
I was going through my Scene phase when I played PSHome
true that. No way we'lΓΆ see something like that from eastern mmos ever
anyways - wrong chat
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*
Interesting
Well, that's great. Good for people enjoying the fashion ingame.
Hopefully the other systems will be just as polished
Monetize that shit, I'll throw my money at it
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.
20$ for steampunk goggles? you got my money
that's something they expand post launch as well.
that way players like me can fund the further development of the game so the gameplay remains NOT p2w
Are the May items going to be up tomorrow?
π€· no info
Usually cosmetics are added around the first full week of the month
HAve they stated when the next Q&A will be. I mis read and thought today would be one.
we did have one today
oh
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.
Okay next question is, when do they put that on youtube normally?
The livestream usually goes on youtube within the next few days on their official youtube channel.
normally next day
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
Dev Diaries is like premade content shown on stream
Hello, I wanted to ask, when is the next stage? or did alpha stage 1 not get announced yet??
No dates. To be announced.
ye but since you don't know for sure, don't say that here as this is a place for questions and factual answers
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 π
They need to have something more than the BR for the testing to go well
it's still a guess nontheless and has nothing to do here
Hey I am unable to login into launcher of ashes of creation ?
apoc is currently down
launcher has no server atm to connect to
when will it be up?
not eta atm
that is unkown at this point
no*
@tight gale Weren't the May cosmetics suppose to changed already? It's past 11am pacific time.
You still have time. We have a new artist helping with those items, so there's some onboarding time that is coming into affect.
Going to try to note that in our newsletter for this month. 
@tight gale Name of the artist?
@tight gale How much time are we talking here? https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/257283936756039680/572961698269626389/unknown.png?width=1175&height=503

cool'
When can we play this game
?
there's no set dates last I check
so when its ready to be tested you can test it? unless I'm wrong what do I know
If ya want to play it now, just use imagination and the infos you got so far and dream of what you gonna do if it's ready.... I just remember the episode of spongebob squarehead... with Patrick inside a carton... doing weird stuff just with imagination. Funny episode
Always trust in Jahlon π
ashes of creation apocalypse beta credentials not active, can some1 help me what 2 do?
there is nothing you can do, sit back and relax. there is no testing going on at this point and no eta to when they start them up again
when are the apoc servers online?
last time apoc was online was feb 7
yeah i hoped i had just missed it... thanks tho
i played it and won a game
i swear it so good
i loved it
i delete all the royalbattle games
becouse of it
but now i play mordhau
its good
whatch the video on insta :iTzOpMx
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.
Itβs 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. Iβm not sure if you are going that point system route but I though it would be a cool idea for immersion
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
Is there a release date for APOC yet?
No
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.
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?
@serene sparrow Regarding the corruption system,, read through the wiki here: https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Player_death
That is were I got these questions from.
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)
I understand that but is the Negative EX only if you die from another player?
or any death
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.
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
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?
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
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.
Thank you, this helps put things together in my head.
Cheers, remember that you can discuss those systems with the other testers in #aoc-discussion
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".
You only experience reduced character stats during corruption/pvp death - we might need an updated statement by the devs on this
As non combatant you drop some raw materials and get a xp debt
@coarse fiber There's a bit more than that
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.
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.
Fair enough
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
is this game actually gonan come out?
@ripe timber roll a dice
It's a class hybrid
Where do I submit fan art?
@foggy parrot You have a few different options! You can post it here, in the #community-media channel, or you can post it in the "Community Creations" section of our forums: https://forums.ashesofcreation.com/categories/aoc-community-creations
Thanks @plucky pawn !
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.
Currently, itβs instant. People get teleported to a safe place if theyβre 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
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.
Ah, okay. My bad then.
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?
@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.
@hidden crane thank you friend
coool
if we can drive personal caravans we can go where ever we want in the open world
When will the May cosmetics become available?
Yesterday at 11 am PDT.....oh wait
Is it possible to attack/debilitate a node that is owned by another guild?
To disrupt economic flow, directly raid them, etc.
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

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?
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
node wars are really new! I believe we just found out about them in a recent interview. castles and nodes are very different things. castles can be sieged only. but guilds can war each other. nodes can be war'd or sieged. let me just give you some wiki links, cuz it's a lot to explain:
https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Node_sieges
https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Castle_sieges
https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Caravans
https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Guild_wars
Thanks.
My friends and...
Partners...
Are discussing how to defend ourselves and our microcosm in event of attack.
you can always bring a bunch of friends!
We're just pre-planning what nodes to "conquer" and establish economics in.
I'll continue my research henceforth. Thank you.
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
flashes back to Eve
@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?
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
@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.
So i have acces to beta 2 and 2 months free after the official release?
So i have acces to beta 2 and 2 months free after the official release? Yeah
Correct
Ohh thank you so much
@novel matrix dont expect the beta to last 2 months though
Yeah i know that
I'm excited could I possibly get game acces earlier then everyone else?
I thinked i that i could only play 2 months from the all beta
@regal oak you can get acces to alpha 2
I think
Just 250 $
I want dev access π
i have the 375$
I just wana play nowwwwwwww game is so gooood
@regal oak no one is getting to play now. π¦ Watch #news for when APOC will be back up.
π
Hey all! When are we popping the new cosmetics for May?

Does someone know when will be the next q&a?
@novel matrix around a month from now
Thank you
Any news for alpha 1?
Nope
Uff
Iβm new is the game just in closed beta cause it says I canβt play because I donβt have authorization

Thx
@trim mason
for the MMORPG, come back in ~ 6 Months.
that's hopefully when it should hit alpha 1 and you'll be able to see more about the game
also, Robert, there's no closed beta right now. that's just a misleading error message that means the test server is down. it hasn't been up for a few months now
ok thx
did i miss something about every weekend is no longer free to play for the castle battles?
The Apocalypse tests were closed and put on hold while the developers work on games infrastructure.
No ETA has been provided keep an eye on #news for future updates.
ty
im too lazy to look. are we still looking at end of 2019 for a alpha/beta release or something?
no dates have or will be given until they are sure they will meet them
so short answer unknown @split brook
:c
game release, extremely unlikely.
Alpha/beta release, likely.
How do you know it's good when it's not even in Alpha yet?
Does someone know if the username will be my character name? Because there says it will be use as my default displayed name in game
if you're talking about Apoc, you can change your ingame name.
by default it will be your account name
you know one thing i haven't heard about or seen(i could be wrong) is what are the starting areas going to be like as far as some beginner services eg.will we be starting in a very permanent basic town or encampment
@true junco https://de.ashesofcreation.wiki/Starting_areas
ahh ty @silk oracle
The servers are offline?
yes
And when is it planned to open them again?

ok
Idk if this has been answered or not but will I be able to move with the mouse (left and right click) in the mmo? It allows me to be more mobile and it makes the combat at least for me feel more intense for pvp anyway
will there going to be demonologist or something like a summoner that summon Demons
demons? I don't see that specifically. Wiki mentions:
Animals.[7]
Spirits.[7][8]
Zombies, skeletons and other undead creatures.[8]
Corpses (potentially).[7]
https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Summoner
Demons haven't been mentioned in that context
I see
@placid karma Not sure if mouse movement is a thing. Intrepid is looking for a more 'unique' combat style, so maybe it'll be in it, maybe not.
@vale turtle @placid karma I would hope so, that's what gives WoW such amazing movement feel.. if not I'll just find a way to hack it/macro it I guess
If you have one of those fancy multi-button mice, you could probably at the very least map WASD to it π
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
it feels very fluid
I can't imagine action combat working well with point and click movement, but why not
@silent lantern walk where your crosshair aims 

@idle siren How is the referral program comming?
@wild phoenix @vale turtle are your avatars brothers?
LoL
To the matter at hand - the referral program is still under construction without ETA
πΏ
Just for clarificationβ You can own static in-node housing and a freehold, correct?
yes
How can I find out what part of Alpha we are in? Or when beta is planned and stuff? Is there a roadmap thatβs updated frequently?
There is no official roadmap available to the public only fanmade ones
Previous game modes have been closed and no ETAs have been provided while the Developers work on the infrastructure.
Keep an eye on #news for future updates!
This reddit post provides a basic understanding of where we are in development atm
https://www.reddit.com/r/AshesofCreation/comments/b33g8y/information_hub/
Nice, thanks!!
I donβt believe thereβs a comprehensive list out there? The website has a large chunk, and you can also look for Intrepid on LinkedIn

@true junco the livestream video on 5/19/17 shows the Aela starting area(unless they changed it). It's on the wiki.

I think I remember them saying they'd be at E3. But is that right? How can I make sure I don't miss them?
By being at E3
When will be E3?
π€· never once heard them say they will be at E3
They aren't going to E3.
i'm not going to E3
I'm trying to add my signature to the forums. I found the signature area. Clicked on image and added my photo link, but nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?
Signatures need to be added using BBcode.
Example: [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/fVffHbn.png[/img][/center]
The [center][/center] will center align the signature, while the [img] will embed it properly
Somebody knows if weβll be able to finish the apoc lvl quest in other test phases? 
@sour hinge Yes, you will be able to continue your apocalypse adventure path progression when the servers go back online.
@waxen quartz The signature won't show up when you paste it, you need to hit save, and then just leave and check on a regular forum post to see if it worked. That step is what threw me off to the point of almost raging.
When is our estimate guess on when we will begin testin again? weeks, a month, months?
No ETA as of yet. They are fixing some critical stuff. @rare thistle
I honestly feel a little ripped off. The page made it look like it is playable beta allready. I basically paid 80β¬ for something I can't use.
Do we know when the new cosmetics will be ready?
@torn delta True, there should a title at the top to show what Phase we are in. @plucky pawn
@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. But I think it's basically just fair to tell (potential) customers that the project is not ready. The page makes it seam like I could just start the game and play
@torn delta If you really don't want to wait, you can visit the homepage and click on the yellow support tab to submit a ticket. Our support staff is very understanding, I here...
You may get a refund
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, ....)
@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 π
@plucky pawn Any idea on when cosmetics will change?
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). 80β¬ 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 π
Hmm Development hasnt stopped, why people may be saying that is due to lack of testing and visuals.
@waxen quartz They hired a new artist and according to their last statement there is no ETA and theyre waiting for their artist to finish them.
OK Thanks!
Yeah that's what I thought too. But you guys publish some infos all the time and talk about things you do and will do π
Have you ever considered just releasing beta version and doing iterative improvements on it without much downtime? Why is it that you just put the game online for a few days sometimes?
idk what could be misleading about this
@lethal pollen Is that sarcasm? π
You fine folks can carry on that conversation in a different channel
obviously he's not following the development wouldn't you say
Oh ok thanks, didn't now that, I basically joined a few days ago @simple ether
Can I get beta access to the current game?
I made an account but I keep getting an error that I don't have access to the beta something
@crystal beacon Hey there - that error you're seeing on the Launchpad for Apocalypse just lets you know that servers aren't active for testing at the moment! You can see more details in our help article here: https://ashesofcreation.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360016195174-Error-Authentication-Failed-Beta-Credentials-Not-Active-yet
So the "Back end" referring to data connectivity?
Nevermind. I had to further educate myself or I was just going to be a nuisance. Interesting stuff it seamlessly seams....
Now I know what an API is. Hah, I thought you guys talking about a whole different interface
Looks like a good "field" to get in for the kids.
What they mean with the back end is the server architecture that didn't hold up when they tested the BR with 200 people in a small area. that is what they've been rebuilding till now and are currently testing internally @languid ocean
Hi, does someone know how to import my kickstarter advantage on my account ? I oppened my account with the same mail than kickstarter before they do the import and now it seems it's not linked
@weak glade Put in a ticket @ https://ashesofcreation.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new or ping Toast for a followup. The Intrepid team will be able to help you.
@vale turtle Thanks !

It also takes at least 48 hours for your account to update if this is your first time logging in since the migration. @weak glade
What migration?
It reproduces asexually
I'm looking in the shop at https://accounts.ashesofcreation.com/store/aoc but only see bundles. Where are the curent cosmetics? Why are images missing from some of the items after I login?
considering the fact that the images have been missing for months, its probably a feature
Practically part of the game now
A lot of items don't have images, yes.
This month's cosmetics should be under 'add-ons'
@crystal beacon I've got this under the 'add-ons' tab. However, I have not got a KS backing, just the highest website package.
Hey
Why does the hippogryph move it's limbs as if it were trying to run when it's in the air
Idk if that's how it would move y'know
Have you ever seen a pegasus move it's legs while flying
Also, why do we move out arms while running
Help maintain balance! And momentum to take work off our legs
And maybe itβs the same for a hippogryph! π€·π»ββοΈ
They should have called the first hippogryph shown, AIR STRIDER. 
some kind of "running in thr air" thing
Its a common thing for flying horse-like creatures in mythology to run while flying.
but it's no horse, it's a bird
@astral cave a pegasus is a horse even though it has wings like a bird.
Mash ups are always the animal the head looks like
all the other things are just extra, like cosmetics
What kind of mount can we expect from ashes and is there any specific mount that are unique to a certain races
@dusty fable mount or mount skins?
afaik, there won't be race locked mounts
So you're saying the legs should just dangle as it's flying @reef osprey
Both @reef osprey and thats good to know that there's no race locked mounts
we don't know much about mounts yet, we'll probably have to wait quite a bit for that.
in terms of skins there is all kinds of stuff
@dusty fable those are some of the mount skins shown so far. So i assume it won't lack in creativity
however, that's all just concept art. gonna have to wait how it will be ingame
Regarding mounts, the only thing we know is that flying mounts won't be a common things.
We know that there will be sea/land based mounts
We know that animal husbanrdy mount stuff (we don't know what though)
is the store paypal yet, or still xsolla?
2 months later still xsolla
Takes a bit to switch providers and make sure web integration is correct... prolly at least another month or more before it switches.
With the KS packages that were purchasable, was the Alpha 1 access only in the $250 and above tier?
I can't remember what level Alpha 1 was a perk for
Here's a direct link to the KS: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1791529601/ashes-of-creation-new-mmorpg-by-intrepid-studios
Alpha 1 perk started at 400$
If you didnt get early bird, it was 500$ for A1 + Lifetime sub
Are you able to view the forum badges?
Yes, clicking on a users profile shows their badges:
Hey guys, new user here - I KSed back in 2017 but completely forgot to follow up on the project. Where can I claim my KS rewards? Do I send an email through the website?
Done, thank you
Idk it feels like the hippogryph just runs too much
when flying y'know
Also, are hippogryphs just gliding mounts?
Because y'know flying isn't a thing unless you a rich or powerful boi
@hidden crane guess itβs not updated on the mobile site yet.
when will ashes of creation apocalypse be live again?
i thought siege was suppose to be out before the start of this year... 5 MONTHS ago
is that why apocalypse went down?
any ideas till it comes back?
still not sure why they diddnt just keep the version that was working up and fix the problems in the background and then do a big update on the that version when they did what they wanted, they got the money from people and then shut people out lel and 100% i heard from a dev that the siege will be out before the end of year but whatever thanks for the info π
u mean the money they got from running the "testing"
i know 10 people that got it and no one who got it for free
if it were all about money, they would have left it up to grab as much money as possible.
That they've left it down for 4 months instead of grabbing more money while it's broken should be better for community trust.
hola es que tengo una duda con el juego asher of creation

good grands for helping me in the doubts
I have a question about the game store, will there be loot crates?
Thank you @simple ether it was a big worry for me
is there any test going on?
BOI
@granite siren No, but keep your eyes on the announcements in the #news channel, or on the forums/twitter/reddit or any other social media platform. They will surely announce it there π
I have a question about apoc, I've seen the trailer for castle siege ages ago. But is there any news on a release date?
So that list looks like alphas in 2019 but is game release set for 2019 or something else?
Original release was set before 2020, they have now said that they are anticipating a delay but they'll announce actual dates once they're sure they can meet the date.

Are all of these people still with the company?
@cloud raft Idk about all of them, but based on the recent livestream, there's a high possibility that Steven is still with the company. /s
Are you suuuure?
pretty sure
You can cross check with the team listing they have on the official intrepid site: https://intrepidstudios.com/
@cloud raft On a more serious note:
- Jennifer Bridges left the company a long time ago.
- Besides her, Matt Reynolds and David Thornfield are the only ones from that image that arent currently listed on the new site.
Everyone else seems to be accounted for with a bunch of additional people.
thanks
@cloud raft you do realize that Steven is the CEo of Intrepid
no one can fire him
Yes... 
You do realize I am PI and have been following the game and company since it's inception
private investigator? you stalking them?
@cloud raft you don't need to be a PI to follow the game , anyone is free to follow any game!
Yes, they are. Just silly to assume someone who is in PI does not know steven :p
clearly you didnt know since you thought that a CEO of a company would just quit or get layed off from his own company.
That is a image from the original kickstarter. The question was if anyone from the original development team has left the company. Common sense would let you know I was not asking about Steven lol
and yet according to your common sense , you have his picture with the rest of them
I did not make the image lol
but you did post it
Yes, from the original kickstarter XD
You are a fool, I am done talking with you lol
me too
Lets keep this channel to the topic of questions please and thanks π
It has been over a month now since the last "Know Your Nodes" article, are we going to see something about economic nodes this month or
?
I think when they got some new people it slowed them down a bit from what i gather
but why would that have an effect on the know your nodes articles?
i just wonder why intrepid has replaced them with lore articles in the last month, and if the nodes articles are coming back any time soon?
Hey there, Intrepid prepared a Content Roadmap which they adhere to as they release articles/videos.
We obviously dont know what exact article/video is due until its announced. However rest assured that they are sticking to their roadmap.
i really hope so
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.
Yep, I am just going to rely on other players to figure what the heck I am doing when the time comes, hahahahaha
When AOC will open??

@cloud raft Stephen is the ceo and founder im pretty sure he is still doing this its his baby
@rare thunder . No ETA as of yet in when more testing is going on. The MMO will be live when it's done and ready. Keep an eye out for #news and #web-maintenance for more info from Intrepid.
Tfw you canβt use your native language alphabet cuz itβs not engrish

Is the beta testing now open for everybody? I mean when the servers open or do i need to have bought something to be able to play?
There is MMO testing that is buy-in but hasnβt happened yet. Apocalypse testing is free but hasnβt happened in a while!

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 ?
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
Then get ganked. It would be interesting and terrifying if the player kill outside of PvP events lost a random item
Anyone know dates that are relative when beta 2 for ashes of creation will start?
No ETAs
They are in alpha 1 or 2 right?
Still in alpha 0?
Ah I remember people in alpha 0 and people who posted content of the game... did they go backwards?
Ah ok but nothing for the closed alpha I see now @simple ether thank you
I want to know... Can i play aoc??
No. No estimated time on when it will be back either.
Not yet! Game is not in alpha yet. Apoc (a test bed for the game) is currently unavailable!

Ok...thx
Do we know if their is a difference in slashing or blunt damage? Or just physical and Magical?
They've talked loosely about those but not much 100% confirmed.
Okay, Just curious on which way they were leaning.
@rare thunder you literally asked that yesterday
Might notβve realized the
was for him, since he doesnβt speak English well ;-;
That's why we repeated it π
Will we be able to pick whatever name we want for pets and mounts? Or will it be from a predetermined list like the city names?
yeah i know, but like anything I want? or a set list of pre approved names
wait we can name our mounts?! hmm neat wonder what filters will be on it
will embers be the same price when game released or more expensive? Also NA server location on release where? Thank you
@plucky pawn are we able to change our names yet?
@tight gale i saw the post in news, does this mean the Referral Program is now fixed as well via the website?
@white sequoia ref system not yet. For now only the kickstarter/promotion keys
@fluid scroll No, they stated they would give us a 24 hours heads up before the option to do so became available.
anyone know if gatherable resources will also appear inside dungeon?
@steady summit They have confirmed that there will be certain resources that can be acquired only within dungeons, with examples such as requiring a master gatherer in your party to salvage the materials from the boss etc.
do we already have any further information about the gliding mounts that I mightΒ΄ve missed? the last thing I remember was steven saying in a livestream that theyΒ΄ll be able to like hover over the ground?! (hope I repeat that correctly). but whatΒ΄s the purpose of using these mounts then? why donΒ΄t I use a normal mount instead? Or will they have any advantages over the normal mounts like the skimmer in gw2 that can hover over quicksand or anything like that?
They are going to be able to glide, like if you jump of a cliff with it you will glide forward and descend slowly
thatΒ΄s great!! ty a lot for your response! π
π
Has there been any known issues reported with kickstarter key redemption?
In the final release, there should be an EU server yes
Will this game be playable on mac os?
idk
@naive moat MAC is not currently in scope for launch. Though at a later date it maybe considered

Will you intend to translate it in Spanish or give some support in this language? Thank you!
What @simple ether said
Ty!
when will aoc have figurines and such to buy ? π
i want like a big statue of the pheonix
When will those who purchased the traveler's package on the kickstarter be able to access AoC and what date will that be?
@cunning trail If by travelers package you mean Settler ($40) you will get into closed beta, you mean Pioneer ($80) It is still closed Beta . There is no set ETA on any game stage release times, we are just currently waiting or APOC to come back online.
So I tried logging into the launcher and i just get beta credentials not yet active
what gives?

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, Iβve seen, Iβm 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 itβd be great to see things as theyβre 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?
nope as alpha 1 is not on yet
Just keep your eyes on #news and the social media for any news about anything actually π hope that helped
Ahhh I see. understood. Thanks!
when is the game coming online as i still cant play it.
Is there anyway to refund kickstater pack?
No
Glad they pulled such a fraudulent scheme. Cant even handle a BR what makes anyone think they can handle a large scale mmo
@indigo forge they currently working on the backend. No dates given
@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
Lol they couldnt even handle 50 people at start and they wanted to jump to above 100 people so quickly
It's called progress
It's called over selling
As i said. Its getting reworked
No the ability to have 100s of thousands of ppl on 1 server
Noone ever talked about 100s of thousands
Obviously you've never seen early stages of MMO development before
No I have but this has been a joke
Let's not have this discussion in this channel
will they get 100 people to play after all this time waiting for it to come online
Feel free to carry it in general discussion
There's already been 100 people playing the BR
BR isn't up lol

If you want to contact Intrepid directly regarding your purchase, you can submit a customer support directly with Intrepid.
@hidden crane thanks, much better answer than the 1 who says no
!cs
Search for answers to some of our FAQ, or put in a Customer Service ticket if you are having Account or Technical issues:
Yeah good job Shaze
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.
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
Since then they have identified core architecture issues which they have openly discussed and have been working on the new backend etc. since. then.
@hidden crane I thought the game crashed alot during the 200 spot play test that I was in
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.
Well at least they stopped giving dates. That was the 1st red flag I got when they started this
If you'd like to discuss progress or in-depth information as to what has been going on, we can continue this discussion in #aoc-discussion
^
how long aoc have been developed as of now
Since 2016
so rn 3 years or 2 years something month
February 2016
ou so 3 years and 3 month
where can i see official system requirements for AoC?
are those for the BR or the MMO?
I would too, like to know
I would believe that would be for the MMO, Intrepid have mentioned something like a 970 before
dam 32gb, here I though gettin 16gb would be enough for a few years 
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?
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
in the launcher
Is aoc ever going to be on steam
Not from what they've said, the client will be downloadable from their website.
Ok
@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!
@crystal beacon, as a supplement to what Zara said, Apocalypse MIGHT be on Steam in the future. But yea, not AoC
The scope thus far is that Ashes will not be on steam
more or likely on epic games launcher
What about the EU release?
Will that be on the my.com launcher, on Intrepid launcher or on both?
Intrepid will release on NA, the other regions will be under the care of mycom
i thought only the customer care is by my.com and the launcher will be the same 
@plucky pawn could you clarify that ?
@simple ether @crystal beacon Okay, thanks 
I'll be on NA, so it won't affect me much. But it's good to have the info

No it isnβt, server status is for the apoc battle royale and those servers are down
@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.
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
i believe that the town /city needs to know of the location of another before a connection is there
That'd be cool. Though the conditions of one settlement 'knowing' where another one is needs to be fletched out clearly.
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?
You can hire npc guards as well as players have the option to defend or attack the caravan
So yes this has been considered
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.
This is why I give input.
No offense
One question .... Why do moderators feel they should be invisible in discord and then 'pop' in with questions? Isn't this unethical?
It's a question.
Don't question a question?
Online Status doesn't really matter
We pop in and out
See you in Vagas in person whenever it happens?
Then it's a whole different deal.
Talk is cheap.
Sitting hind the puter.
Fluffy rabit slippers and a frap.
not sure what you're getting at
But if you're not asking questions about ashes then take it to a conversation channel 
That's not really a ashes question but we have no date yet so i can't say for certain if I'll be there or not
My family lives in Reno. Yay.
The question is I'd like to shake your hand?
In Vegas.
Hello, I played for the first few weeks when apocalypse was first launched until they took a break and said that it will be open for testing each weekend, and a few months have past, I was wondering if this is still the case?
unfortunately atm we are in a lull between testing cycles
More news should come available soon in regards to when will be the next test
Were there any tests open for public from that time?
apoc will be open for all
Yea, i know but from that time till today, were there any days where aoc apocalypse was playable?
yep
I cannot state the dates off hand, but there have been test cycles since APOC BR first launched up till now
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. π
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
I would like to know when the launch is so I can come to Vegas and meet the SOCAL crowd?
Be nice. Mean people suck!
stop sucking mean people. unfortunately skaff we don't have an answer yet π¦
You seemingly correct me with answers?
Give us answers!
Belle. Please stop. You are invisible as a modertor. STOP!
Eavesdropper. Plain and simple.
Be nice.
Skaff theres nothing that says she or anyone else cant have their status on invisible.
Would be great if you could move these comments to #general-discussion
@scarlet moth make me pumpkin
This is not necessary. I want to play AOC, and not walk around in bunny slippers and drink frapps? β
what?
This sounds like a Google Translate adventure 
Hello guys. I am new to the discord but have a question. I am a youtuber and have been wanting to try this game out badly for the channel but after months of waiting still no invite. Is there any way i can speed up the process?
Currently there is no testing as the developers are reworking the games infrastructure
The Apocalypse model is free to play so when it returns you can simply download and play
Keep an eye on #news and #web-maintenance for updates
is the livestream next week?
It is supposed to be the last Friday of the month I believe. So it would be the 31st unless they announce otherwise.
okay thanks i thought its the 25th
Yup @dusty fable , @light flax is correct!
What was the problem with the last infrastructure?
Wait I am confused, is the livestream next week OR the 31st? It can't be both.
31st
Is there a way to play it already?
@novel matrix, performance was bad for dense player populations! Basically, they could barely support 200 concurrent players on the relatively small Apocalypse map. They want the numbers to be much higher!
they are "currently" working on it
Oh
thats the reason for apoc not being online
Hello! I havenβt been able to keep track of the games status due to work issues, has anything like name reservations taken place yet?
Oh cool thanks! Mind if I ask whatβs already happened for Kickstarter backers?
Ah, I see. Thank you so much for your help. π
When in the HEll is the economic nodes info drop?
Also KS holders have received their unique forum badges and titles.
@untold schooner, Maggie said earlier today more Know Your Nodes is still coming! And she also wants class/race info to trickle in parallel with KYN
Ofc, no ETA though
this month?
No ETA! No one knows, except Maggie. And Steven or Toast or someone!
ok, thanks anyways. but i knew the info was coming π ..question was when?
I gave you the best answer available! Do as you will with this important information
but the class/race stuff might be a long time from now, hope that doesn't delay economic nodes.
I think I remember them saying in the last livestream that yes they do want to show of races and classes etc, but it is quite a ways off. So don't expect it soon. I could be remembering it wrong tho.
Yea, Maggie said races and classes were high priority today! And that she wants to make a video showcasing each raceβs development from start to finish. When I asked her if sheβs going to do them before more nodes stuff, she said βthings can go in parallel.β No guarantees in that, but seems like sheβs focused on it currently along with nodes
when will Intrepid announce whether they will/will not go to PAX west?
pretty sure that was a given
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.
I was wondering if there will be any new skins this month
@meager fiber Hey there, they've recently onboarded a new artist who is doing the cosmetics for this month. (Hence the delay)
@hidden crane Thatβs fine was just wondering thanks for the answer
Really looking forward to AoC. It's going to become my main game. As A content Creator is there anything I can do or get involved in before Final Release?
When APOC or any other release is up, you could involve yourself with it. You also have Alpha2 and the Betas which you can buy into via the website.
There is currently no ETA on anything game-related since they are fixing stuffs.
Can we log on right now?
no
The servers are currently down. Keep an eye on #news for the next test.
For more information on how to join the Beta: https://ashesofcreation.com/blog/open-beta-2-for-ashes-of-creation-apocalypse
sad :c
they really should change that beta credentials message in the launcher to server inaccessible or something like that
We must be strong until its return! Yes, they should :(
but then again, the server is offline messages have been funky since the start
Have their been any information releases this week?
Nope
Would be nice if the game was Linux compatible out of the box
When will he the next pre alpha gameplay?
No ETAs on anything right now
How many servers are there going to be
@crystal beacon don't you think that will depend on how many players will play the game?
Ok thanks
my magic 8 ball is saying 17.2 though
