Hey, I have a German-speaking player in my stream. Unfortunately, he has no Discord or uses and the following problem. He has 2 monitors and he is only shown 3/4 of the entire picture on the main monitor and he does not see a mouse pointer. Reinstalling and checking hard drives did nothing. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? Best Regards
mossy cave
@earnest bramble He may need to adjust the resolution. Have him try using Alt + Enter to go into windowed mode so he can adjust his settings.
earnest bramble
Ok, let me pass it on to the player. Thanks;) Hopefully it will solve his problem, since he has probably had the problem for months and Mycom probably did not give him any support there and my stream was his last hope. 😉

@earnest bramble Fingers crossed! Feel free to tag me if he needs further help 🙂

Hey, not sure if this was covered, will different archetypes have different resources? For example, will rogues/rangers have energy/focus alongside with health, will fighters have rage or something equivalent, or will every archetype have the same like mana?
small pecan
That’s a good question! I don’t think we know either way. In previous testing (alpha 0, Team Deathmatch, and Apoc), we’ve seen mana and stamina so far. But I don’t think we know if anything besides mana will make it in

Thanks for the response, I really hope they do implement something. It gives archetypes an extra flare

@vestal mica For now, the confirmed servers for initial phases are North America, Europe, Southeast Asia/Oceania, however servers for other regions will show up if there is enough demand for them. For instance, if there is enough demand for South America then Intrepid will launch that server for it. As for money correction... I’ll leave that to Intrepid or more knowledgeable mod to answer that.

They should at least translate into Portuguese, Brazil is very excited to play a decent MMO 👍

Localization and translations really depend on the demand for our game in those regional markets. I can say that it is an expensive process, but one that we are wanting to do if the demand is there. The best thing you can do to see this happen, is to help build our community in those markets.
Get enough and theyll do it :)

yeah conjurer that is what i was thinking
when they release new info they should give us info about what will be summoned for each race
as they said each summon will be different for each race
slow meadow
https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Summoner Summons are class dependent, with some appearance determined by race. I wouldn't expect a completely different summon, but characteristics of it altered (i.e a Fire Elemental would still be a fire elemental but runes or armor would change based on race) Also while there is nothing specifically mentioned about a light based summon, I think its fair to assume since there will be summon cosmetics that something like a fire elemental summon could easily get a light based cosmetic.

Thanks Margaret! I am really hoping for some more game-design and tech diaries, so nice to hear that we will get them (hopefully soon) 🙂
spiral torrent
@quasi latch you can wear a sword and shield or a two hander on your necromancer (summoner + cleric). But we don’t know that it’ll be an effective tank. Based on what they’ve discussed it doesn’t seem likely that a necromancer will be an effective tank.
You would most likely need to at least have tank as your secondary archetype for tanking, but more likely tank as primary archetype will be a requirement for challenging content. Bottom line is we don’t know exactly how the classes will play out, but this is my best speculation based on the information we have.
quasi latch
oh i see
spiral torrent
@quasi latch Brood Warden (summoner + tank) might be closer to the play style you’re looking for. It will most likely have more tank oriented summons, but still we don’t have enough information to know how effective that class will be as a tank/off-tank.
Keeper (tank + summoner) could also be an option, but it’ll probably have less of a focus on summons/minions than the Brood Warden. So it’ll just depend on what’s more important to you.
This is all we have on classes for right now: https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Classes
The class chart at the top is really cool if you haven’t seen it yet.
spiral torrent
Eventually. According to Intrepid we will have all 8 archetypes in Alpha1 so we still won’t know exactly how the combined classes work. It looks like it’ll be quite the wait until we get all that info.

abstract drift
Does anyone know if they've explained the rationale behind only allowing cosmetics on a per-character basis? ie. Mount skins only usable by one character at a time, but transferable whenever? Seems like it would just be easier to allow any character on the account to use it without the hassle of having to mail it back and forth or however they do it.
Alright, so more akin to Path of Exile's system. Easy enough, I suppose, I just don't understand the logic behind that design choice, I guess. Seems like the wardrobe should be able to be applied to any number of characters without the switching since they cannot be simultaneously logged into regardless (ala WoW's collection system). Was just seeing if there was something I wasn't aware of with it.
Alright. Thanks for the help!

Will backera be able to get 3d modeled mounts of the ones purchased to look at while the game is developing?

slow meadow
They have been producing some of the mounts. The dawnbreaker (https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Dawnbreaker) is a good example, and wass actually usuable in apoc. It is likely they will continue to put some of them out over time.
https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Daystrider_mule is another one @obtuse perch
obtuse perch
Cool, but i guess i was not 100% clear. I meant like a home area that you can look at your mounts while you wait. I undertand using them would be a pain as they are working on them but more like a simple 3d modeled to look at on our personal pages or ashes main menu.
Like if am a backer or simply have a few mounts purchased, i either want to log in to my ashes account or game main menu and be able to click on them and see them if that clears things up.
stable plover
@obtuse perch For the mounts that are currently available, you could view them from the APOC pre-game menu.
obtuse perch
Jesus where have i been then? Hahaha, gotcha thanks for the response. Ill check them as soon as i get home.
slow meadow
it is also very likely that since we have seen these first models viewable/usable in APOC that we will see some in Castle Siege and more in A1 and beyond as well. And A1 in particular will be very suited for looking at them in detail since that is the MMO.
obtuse perch
Cool, cant wait for that then.
Last question
Would it have been harder to make the mounts individualized. Even if they shared the skeletons of base horse for example. I ask because it feels more rewarding to not have to put a skin on something when it comes to mounts at least.
slow meadow
The mount "skins" aren't just recolors in a lot of cases. If you watch the VOD of the most recent stream they show some examples of variations on the bear and other creatures. The skeletons and base structure might be the same but they get pretty varied (longer hair, plant growth, effects will also be different though not shown). So while there will certainly be "recolors" (some of the gryphons in apoc as example) they are also using those bases to create more unique variants as well.
The "skin" isn't exactly a skin really. Once you have a tier 1 mount or maybe a gliding mount, you can "swap" it out for a "skin" of that same tier. As example if you unlock a gryphon, which is a gliding mount, and had a Dawnbreaker "skin" you would swap the gryphon for the dawnbreaker when you summoned it.
so it's not purely a horse can have a horse skin, but any skin of that tier
wild phoenix
When are we getting the new referral page with the monthly sales, visits, conversion rate, total money owed, etc
obtuse perch
I do understand that you can put certain skins for tier 1 and such and go from there but not sure why it wasnt just all specific mounts to start with. Like i do understand your example of how it works, unlocking gryphon but then be able to add the dawnbreaker skin. My only issue is not that they will have zame skeleton, i understand they will still look unique and have different effects and such. What i still lack to understand is the need to add skin in the first place. If tha dawnbreaker uses gryphon skeleton but will look and have its own thing, then why not consider dawn a tier 1. Basically i would prefer them to individualize the mounts even though you most likely will not be able to breed those who were skins. I know it feels like im beating a dead horse but what i ask i do not think adds work to the team. I guess it might simply occupy more space in game thats all.
Sorry for long message holy cow! I guess im just sleepy. When i am sleepy i get a little mad hahaha.
Mad as in crazy not as in angry mad.
dark jungle
you cant put a horse mount skin on a gryphon mount
you can only apply skins that match that base mesh
as for looking the "same" here are some examples of how different skins can make the same mesh
obtuse perch
Yes, i understand. I do not know how to explain myself hahahaha. I do not want to have the need to put skins anywhere on mounts is my only wish. I juat want them to simply be considered individual mounts even the skins. It would only occupy more space i guess.
obtuse perch
My point, instead of having those two as skins, just keep them as their own mounts, do you kinda get my point?
And no, i do not mean make everything from scratch. All i mean is keep them as they are without having to take a skin off.
dark jungle
that is effectively the same thing
obtuse perch
Yes, it is exactly the same thing. The only thing that changes is that it feels more legit. It makes them feel like their own creature because you will not have the need to be taking out skins and putting other ones on.
dark jungle
the developers build mobs from a base skeleton, then they apply the skin to them. its how it works with other games. intrepid is allowing the user to change skins on the base mesh. so players have more agency
if you dont want to be able to change skins, then all you have to do is not apply any skins
then by your own choice you get the outcome you desire
obtuse perch
Yes, but do you understand it would feel better if you did not have to change skins? Like would it not feel better if you can just go grab that MOUNT vs SKIN? I guess im just really being a pain in the butt with adding atop a mount. Mentally, i just want to feel like im going and grabbing another mount, that is all. Even if tier one is the same skeleton across the board.
dark jungle
you dont have to change skins
if that makes you feel better
i want to change skins
everyone has their own play style
its what player agency is all about
you play the game the way you want to play it
you dont get things forced on you if you dont want to do them
obtuse perch
Lol, its not that i do not want the cool skin variant. I do, but i do not want it to be called skin i think is my base point. I simply want that other skin to be called mount so that it feels more important to me.
dark jungle
simply just dont apply skins to your mount
good for you, there is nothing stopping you from achieving that
you dont have to prohibit other players from doing the things they want to do
all you have to do is not apply skins to your mounts
if you find a nice mount in the wild or breed it to get the appearance you want then you can feel awesome about it
silent lantern
I don't understand what you mean by 'individualize the mount'
obtuse perch
Yea i dont blame you @silent lantern

obtuse perch
No thats not it either @dark jungle

and if he wants to play like that there is nothing to stop him
obtuse perch
I guess im pretty badat getting my point across yall
silent lantern
Didn't Intrepid say that you will be able to get some/most of the skins through gameplay in the MMO? @dark jungle
dark jungle
yeah you should be able to achieve equivalent mount appearances through taming and breeding
silent lantern
👌🏻
obtuse perch
Ive never been against different skins. Well ill try one more time and see if it makes sense.
Instead of adding a dawnbreaker SKIN to a Gryphon, why not simply call that dawnbreaker a mount in itself even if it cannot be bred like the gryphon can?
Get it now?
obtuse perch
Does dawnbreaker skin not go on gryphon?
obtuse perch
Well instead of dawnbreaker, i meant any other skin that goes with gryphon. Anyways, i guess ill stay with my opinion as it is impossible to get it across hahaha. It is more simple than it sounds but i guess it seems like it is a negative towards skins but it is actually not.
dark jungle
another gryphon
just like you can apply a horse skin to a horse
the skin does not change the type of mount,
or you could apply a dragon skin to a turtle
and that would be stupid
silent lantern
@obtuse perch A skin is meant to change the appearance of your mount. Making the dawnbreaker an entirely different mount means that it will have different stats than a horse for example. Plus, we don't know how many of the cosmetics skins can be bread or found as separate mounts in the MMO. So, nobody can answer your question fully because nobody knows.
dark jungle
the only way to change mount stats and traits would be through animal husbandry
still wyvern
inb4 god roll mounts will be a rarity and fought over
dark jungle
but if you do find a horse and you want it to look like another horse you can apply a horse skin to it
it will still be the same horse model with the same stats etc
anyway this is becoming more of a discussion rather than Q&A so im gonna nope out of this channel
obtuse perch
Yea.. that would be stupid hahahaha, dragon skin on turtle. But again not what i was meaning to state in the first place. Anyways thanks @silent lantern, @dark jungle and @still wyvern for replying. I have nothing against skins, they look cool. I wish i could explain better my point but i guess i am too tired to make sense. I will see yall on the flip side though. Yall have a good night, or good morning.
dark jungle
o/
still wyvern
o/ @obtuse perch it happens. maybe elaborate when you wake up more?
Might help, especially since it might be late at your spot
rough junco
@obtuse perch The reason they went with skins instead of individual mounts for everything is their stance on Pay to Win. If mounts were just mounts level 1 characters would be able to summon top tier mounts they bought in shop or kickstarter and be faster than players without, giving them an unfair advantage. Thats why you need to find a lvl5 horse like everyone else then you can apply a 'legendary' skin and will look cool, but it will still only be a lvl5 mount in its stats. So thats why it is skins instead of mounts.

I wanna know what the shaman will be like
whether they use totems like in wow
Do all races have access to every class?
oak bridge
Will there be a firemaking skill like in runescape? Where for example -if I have the appropriate level- I can light some magical logs and they burn a vibrant color like green or purple? I think this would make the world seem more magical.
small pecan
@crystal beacon, every class can be any race or gender and can wear any weapons or armor! I don’t think expecting 1 of the 64 classes to be that divergent from all the rest is feasible, but the idea isn’t guaranteed off the table! We don’t have any particular info on Shaman (I believe)
@oak bridge, lumberjacking is a gathering profession in the game, and there are different varieties and rarities of resources, so things like different colors and magical appearances are basically guaranteed! But I don’t think we have any confirmation firestarting will be in the game. I assume they’ll instead be used in construction of housing and weapons. Here’s the lumberjacking page stub that you may find interesting to explore out from:

It says gain access to 'early access.' If i buy any pack from shop i can start playing or not yet? Is Alpha 1 out yet?
desert ivy
No
Alpha 1 is coming out some time this year
But Alpha 1 is no longer purchasable unless you backed the kickstarter and then upgrade to the alpha 1 pack
vale turtle
You gain access to the Early Access (the alpha or beta access you buy). This will be in the future
vast cove
any update about horde mode release or any release update new of anything??
small pecan
@vast cove, nay! We have an Alpha 1 demo at GDC in March—that’s our only date. We know Sieges have been in closed testing. We also know that Alpha 1 will probably come before Horde. That’s all we know rn!
Oh, and Alpha 1 is set to happen in 2020, for what that’s worth
vast cove
so one more year of painful waiting.
small pecan
Yup! Delays are sad face :(
slow meadow
@vast cove Castle Sieges were tested by the PI backers so that should be coming soonish, and Alpha 1 will be shown in some form at GDC with access coming later in the year. So its not going to be a year of waiting. Should actually be more hands on this year now that they seem to be getting back on track after the previous delays.
sly monolith
i heard that the alpha's when started are being followed up by public alpha's? it that true?
fading latch
Only apoc is public. Alphas and betas are locked behind backers and pre order pack owners @sly monolith
small pecan
But there’s no NDA on them, so you’ll be able to see them! (If that’s maybe what you heard)
sly monolith
nah.. someone told me that the alpha's were only for backers and such.. but after a a while of testing.. it would go public.
hmm.. then im prolly need to buy a pack :S
crystal beacon
itd be nice if there was a cheaper package with just the base game and maybe some embers. 112 aud is pretty steep for an entry package
vale turtle
I'd wait for footage of A2 and base your opinion off of that and see if you want to buy into the betas 🙂 @sly monolith
desert ivy
Yeah, there is no "base game" cost

Well the humans in the game won’t be totally silent, haha—assumably they’ll have grunts and yells for combat if nothing else! And I don’t think VA positions are usually listed the same as full-time engineering and director roles

🤔 to add to that question. If someone creates one for it and uses it will they get banned?

Yes
small pecan
“Addons will not be allowed, in general”—and their API might be really limited to make it hard to do such a thing! And ofc if you’re still persistent and modify the game in some way, you will get banned. I think they condone building a tool outside the game that does something like that though

Thats the long answer^

Do you have only solo play at start ?
desert ivy
Solo play in Apoc is the only mode that's enabled and will probably stay that way because of low population
short ginkgo
No reason to grind with no rewards, that's my opinion
I'm just excited to see the results of the siege and closed Alpha (I think it's mostly internal?) Testing. I know Toast mentioned they're not using Chaos yet since it's a little too experimental, but I'm hyped to see how it all plays
Siege having classes is going to be the big draw from the MMO crowd, I think. If the BR had even a limited class system like Realm Royale it would have appealed to MMO players a lot more
jagged remnant
What are the specs for a typical computer at Intrepid Studios? AMD vs Intel cpu and AMD vs NVIDIA gpu?
plucky pawn
@jagged remnant Hiya! Are you asking what our workstations are typically built with? Or are you looking for min spec/recommended specs?
jagged remnant
@plucky pawn I am, I am looking at upgrading my cpu for unreal engine 4 development but I also play a lot of games. I've heard that the newer AMDs are better for workload but not for gaming
plucky pawn
Tagging in @wispy musk who might have some thoughts to share
wispy musk
I would highly recommend one of the newer AMD processors such as the 3700X or newer, which should be able to play any game you want without issue while also providing excellent performance for work related purposes. We currently run Intel CPUs but if I personally had the choice I would choose one of the newer AMDs.
I'm personally getting bottle-necked by a 7700K on my workstation at the moment 😦
As for GPU, Nvidia without question, if you can afford it. The 2080 Ti works great!
plucky pawn
@jagged remnant hope the above helps! Kemadin is on our QA team
jagged remnant
@wispy musk I have the 2080 as my gpu but needed a cpu upgrade. Thanks for the advice!
wispy musk
No problem! A 2080 with one of the newer AMD CPUs would be an excellent combo.

hello, how long can the solo queue be ? I've tryied to play several times but I never got in 😕

Queuing randomly at this point is pointless. There are only a handful of players still interested in apoc. If you want to play go to the aoc-apoc-discussion channel and ask for a game or watch for people starting one.

hi, looking get a pack for alpha one on the site but i only see alpha 2. are they no longer available?

Correct.
You can get A1 is you upgrade your kickstarter though...if i'm not mistaken. @simple ether should be able to confirm on that one.
@civic maple Also if you pay attention to #aoc-apoc-discussion you'll see when people are playing.

@umbral warren @lean marlin That is correct. Currently the only way of gaining access to A1 is upgrading existing KS packages.

are these monthly cosmetics from purchasing the game going to be able to be dyed to change color?

Why exactly did they announce the new cosmetics the same day the remove the other ones? It has always given time to make your final purchases for that month? I've always used this as a reminder to buy things I was interested in so I guess now I just miss out on this round of cosmetics... is this going to be the norm going forward?
tulip hatch
When they announce the new cosmetics they aalso provide a date for when they will be removed
This was announced with last months cosmetics
The Realm of the Wakeless cosmetic addons will be available in the Ashes of Creation shop until February 5, 2020 at 11:00 a.m. Pacific.

hidden comet
i have have a question regarding alpha access and whether i have access.
long story short i got an invite to the alpha 0 test from being at the panel from pax east 2018, do i/will i get access to the alpha 1 testing when that comes out? or was the alpha zero access a one time thing?
stable plover
@hidden comet A0 access was just for A0 - to have A1 and forward access you have to have it from some other source.
hidden comet
ok, thanks for the quick response
robust marsh
Yep had the shell out the huge $$$.
ruby swift
@hidden comet To clarify it further. You can participate in what is known as APOC (eventually a BR, Siege testing, and Horde mode testing) for free. Any of the Alpha and Betas require a package bought from them. Packages containing A1 access are currently unavailable. A2 to B2 access ranges from $375 to $75 with cosmetics, embers, and sub-time (only credited after live launch).
hidden comet
i already got to lvl 50 on apoc and had a lot of fun playing. unfortunatly im a broke college student so spending a few hundred to get early access isnt something i can do rn
maybe if the game is still in developement when i graduate lol
ruby swift
Siege is most likely the next iteration of testing released. That will be free also.
reef prawn
It's not early access, it's an Alpha Test destined to testing the systems and features they're tweaking for the final product.

How can I buy the skins on my.com if I have already buyed the most expansive pack of the 2 months ago?

Mycom hasn't delivered anything for months. One can only hope that we will get a better partner in the EU.
Then clarity should be created here after a good 2 months. Currently, people who have a Mycom account and want to have something from the current packages are at a disadvantage and players with problems with the MyCom Launcher also currently have the problem that they are not being helped.

lean current
Do the months of ingame time from the preorder packages run already during the alphas and betas when you play?
Okay, thanks. I just looked at all the number of months given for each package, and the number of months sounded reasonable as time for the packages access phase. So 2 months for beta, 6-9 months for Alpha 2.
stable plover
@lean current We don't know how long each of the testing phases are expected to be. Note that only A2 has 24/7 server uptime (apart from maintenance; A2 continues during B1/B2), while A1/B1/B2 are scheduled sessions (with A1 heading towards higher uptime as A2 approaches)

"not years" can technically mean over a year but under 2 years, so they could theoretically delay it for 23 months until like late 2021 and still be correct

empty flint
why not show opponent health bars? when attacking multiple people it would be good to know how much damage i would need to deal and whether or not i should use certain CDs.
silent lantern
@empty flint Healthbars won't be directly visible in the MMO as well. There will be an indication of how low a person's HP is via their name plate, but no health bars. This will play a role in PK trolling as well. It's a design decision.
empty flint
yeah I was referring to the MMO. The information around healthbars (cd management, dmg control etc) is important aswell as convenient especially in PvP
small pecan
I guess to sort of answer your question, Nugs, I don’t think we’ve gotten a really in-depth answer on why. I think one reason that Steven would answer is that it makes it harder to exploit the corruption system, since you’re more likely to accidentally kill a player you’re attacking if you can’t see their exact health/%. Thus, you won’t be as risky about it when trying to “troll” or harass people without going red
He made a comment like that on the most recent livestream when responding to a question!
serene sparrow
Would this feature stay the same after you are flagged for combat or in a party with said person?
small pecan
If you’re in a party/raid, you will see exact! I’m not sure what flagged means. You definitely won’t see someone’s exact hp if you conceivably want to fight against them basically
serene sparrow
By flagging I mean that you have committed to attacking said person.

Yea! Nah, you won’t see exact then
Only if you’re “hard” allies. And the only confirmed things for that atm are in a party or raid

What is a Scintillarium?
small pecan
I don't think it's an officially defined word? Scintilla means "spark" from Latin, and "-o/arium" is a suffix meaning a place, like an Observatorium! So it's literally a "place of sparks."
I think the idea might be that since it's in the Valentine's-themed cosmetic pack about marriage, you go to the place of spark to kindle your marriage!

atomic violet
Is there any chance for single items in shop? For example: Basic Package(with no cosmetics at all--just a copy and some free description, embers and the chapter) + early access(single items of Alpha 2, Beta1-2). A customizable package tool is also a good idea.
stable plover
@atomic violet There are options to buy individual cosmetics for people who already have packages, and you can somewhat customize the cosmetics that come with a package by say upgrading over the course of time to get mix-matched cosmetics. I would expect the current package tiers to remain as they are for quite a while, but they'll probably change eventually (The following is wild speculation) for example the package that gives B1 access might have something happen to it like getting a price cut and no longer giving B1 access after B1 has ended during B2 similar to what happened to the top tier after Intrepid stopped selling A1
wraith blaze
Can I select individual cosmetics if I buy a $75 package
stable plover
@wraith blaze Only the monthly 5$ accessory cosmetics
wraith blaze
Would I have to purchase higher level packages to widen the selection?
So it’s not mutually exclusive to $5 ones?
stable plover
@wraith blaze Owning the tier that a particular cosmetic comes from unlocks the ability to buy that cosmetic individually.

@obtuse perch That doesn't mean they will do it. They have a lot in their backlog already. Perhaps sometime in the future. Or maybe there already is a royal polar bear mount. I don't know much about the cosmetics but you can look around the wiki. It should have a list of every cosmetics and mounts that are already confirmed. https://ashesofcreation.wiki
obtuse perch
I mean I never said they were going to do it. Of course i would like to know a little bit about it since they did seem intrested. So, if coming from them its a no it will not be a big deal for me. It its still a maybe then it will still intrest me to wait and see what they will offer. Since they already have a template for the bear, i doubt that they have to work it out a lot more to get a polar bear done. So it is not far fetched at all if they are now working on one. They have a big team so even if it shows a set amount of mounts, it by no means states it is all they will offer.
But i apreciate your response.
desert ivy
I'd hardly call the size of Intrepids current team "big"
At least not for an MMORPG team
dark jungle
agreed. intrepid has around 50 total employees, compared to a AAA project with thousands
slow meadow
AAA games have "hundreds" (200 - 800) not thousands of people, but Intrepid is still very much smaller than that. But there are examples of smaller teams working smart to create great games that feel AAA. the style of game and reusable systems will play a large part in that for Intrepid

They said when they finally "fixed" the referral system that info would be added later down the line. Since you won't see any of that money till release, they are in no rush.
cedar citrus
English is not my native language, I did not understand the answer. You can answer in more detail, for example, write a date.

There is no date. That info will be available at a future, undetermined date. Right now, all you get to see is the total number of referrals, not the dollar amounts associated with them. Cut and paste Google translate.

Ok , thanks
ruby swift
Don't worry, there are plenty of people that know exactly how many referrals they have, how much money was spent, and how much they should be getting. Those that have only friends and family referred, and know exactly what packages and how much was spent. If something dodgy goes on down the line, expect people to point out those discrepancies.

Hi. I was almost certain i purchased a Kickstarter pack about a week prior to Apocalypse releasing. My friend and I always hunting that next best MMO feeling together, it's our passion. Turns out after looking/browsing and discussing together. I forgot to purchase one and continued on to play the Apocalypse release completely forgetting thinking i'd done it haha. Is there any possible chance to still get myself a backers package or has that ship completely sailed for me now.

You can buy a backers package on their website to get access to Alpha 2, Beta 1, or Beta 2, but you cant get access to Alpha 1 anymore

You can buy cosmetics depending on what pack you buy
Cant get cosmeticsnthat aren't sold anymore though

They aren't the same but yeah
The current ones are so very expensive too. For so much less compared. I was only wondering if it was at all possible still.
desert ivy
You cant buy kickstarter packs anymore if that's what you're asking
rancid plume
Not with that attitude
ruby swift
Sadly the backer packages change monthly and are not offered again. That you forgot is regrettable, but you need to wait till there is a package that you like then. Also you can always buy future cosmetics at your level or lower a la carte. Those packages also are not Kickstarter, but Intrepids website ones. The terminology might help if you ever have to file a ticket.

Removed all the files from appdata etc. Tried different drives. It always gets hung up at that point from fresh installs.
earnest bramble
The problem only comes with the Intrepid Launcher. Got that z. B. After each patch.
@potent osprey Download it on Steam, that has fixed this problem for everyone so far. ;]
hardy eagle
I had the same problem, last week. Deinstall and download with steam
potent osprey
Well shit. Do we Europeans have to play Apoc Steam via My.Games?
Pain.
Mmh. I've had it open for hours.
earnest bramble
No I have an Intrepid account and only play on Steam.
earnest bramble
Yes
earnest bramble
Steam is just mycom launcher. My account is from Intrepid and I've been playing games since Apoc.
mossy cave
Yes Steam has been working for others, our team has been looking into an issue with the installer from our site (sorry for the late reply!)

I am sorry I haven't been able to keep up to date with the game, is there a calendar anywhere I can reference dates, for example the first time to be able to play will be?

No dates for the first time you’ll be able to play the MMO. @sullen crow
sullen crow
ok

@sullen crow only things we know are that castle siege is coming next, the first look at alpha 1 will be at GDC in march with alpha 1 sometime this year. This was all specified in the last creative directors letter.

What is up with the negative reviews on Ashes of Creation Apocalypse on steam?
I am a newcomer and don't know much about the game.
ruby swift
People were upset that a BR mode was used for testing instead of a traditional mmo setting. They felt that Intrepid was abandoning the mmo in favor of a Fortnite style cash grab. So they expressed their displeasure through the new cultural memes of cancel culture and review bombing.
pine glen
Ok I read the reviews. I mean they have a point. Why add a cash shop
ruby swift
Development is expensive and does not occur in a vacumn. The costs associated with hosting those "free" servers were hopefully going to be offset by cash shop purchases. That did not happen. The BR served its purpose and is effectively dead. Around 10 people play it currently on a daily basis for shits and giggles and it hasn't had an update since Nov. People like to whinge and moan about the latest thing. Upcoming is Siege mode next which will hopefully be more popular as a free testing bed. You can expect the same path and cash shop option to appear.
pine glen
Thanks for clearing my thoughts. From reading the reviews it clearly felt like the MMO was a scam or something, no offense.
earnest bramble
There are more than 10 people, in my community alone there are more than Ashes. ;)
And there was the last patch in December;)
@pine glen If you want to play the BR with people and 8pm CET is a good time for you. Then feel free to write me a PM here.
ruby swift
Yep, but it keeps plugging along. They are behind by a number of months, but stuff slowly keeps coming. The next big "reveal" is scheduled for GDC in third week of March where A1 footage will be featured. Stay tuned.
pine glen
Oh I was just downloading it to see what the people were up about from reading the reviews.
ruby swift
You may want to check out #aoc-apoc-discussion to find out when people are playing. It takes 5 people to trigger a match currently. There are a couple groups out there that schedule times rather than just sitting in queue all day.
earnest bramble
You just won't find enough players now, unfortunately. There are currently 3 core times where there are always people online.
pine glen
Oh thanks a lot
earnest bramble
At least 4 people per match, but that will probably be determined by whether 5 are currently online or in the lobby.
ruby swift
@earnest bramble There has been an update since the cloak cosmetic gifting?
Sorry, you are right, not Nov, was Dec 17th.
earnest bramble
No, the patch had fixed the sound back then, and other bugs and the interface has been changed slightly and weapons.
ruby swift
Cool, I had logged on back then to get mah free shiny. And when I logged on last week there was no update to my files, so was wondering.
eager rock
Any word if Intrepid Studios will be returning to a PAX again this year?
Would love to see another gameplay demo set up again.
tulip hatch
The only game demonstration they have announced is the GDC alpha 1 in march no word on PAX
fading latch
There has been no plans for PAX
white sequoia
when can we expect Class blogs/skills ?
small pecan
no ETA! with the upcoming Alpha 1 preview next month, we will probably get more info then! and then maybe Intrepid will make the blogs a bit later
tender wren
probably wont be class blogs and stuff until close to release, when the classes are finished
thats just speculation though

@mild yacht it is only for BR 😄
wraith blaze
Any information on fist to fist combat, Instead of standard weaponry?
slow meadow
@wraith blaze I don't believe Intrepid have ever mentioned unarmed combat as an option, though I believe they mentioned the possibility of "fist weapons" (cosmetic of daggers) but that hasn't been confirmed. So for now I would assume a weapon will always be needed. Though if Intrepid are looking for more "Tavern Games" I could get behind a "Tavern Fight Club" mini game 😉
wraith blaze
I agree with that last statement 😂, maybe it’s still in their thought process
crystal beacon
Are OCE servers still happening for the mmorpg?
I was worried for a second that, because they didn't perform well on the BR, IS would drop them
They are one of the main reasons I'm excited for ashes
Do we know if they will be brought online for castle sieges, even just on release?
That's odd. In my experience, I usually get around 100 ping to singapore servers. Do they plan to keep the servers in Singapore, or do we not know at this stage?
crystal beacon
Hi :) Will it be possible to hide your characteristics from other players? I think it would be good to create some kind of object or spell that would hide your characteristics, but for a decent fee!
ruby swift
If you are talking about health, level and so on then the answer is yes. There will be visual cues such as a health bar that becomes more damaged looking when fighting others outside of your group. Those in your friends, party, or raid will be able to see actual numbers. Those outside of it will not.
crystal beacon
Ty:)
fair yew
Steven also stated that he doesn’t like inspection features where people can look at your gear so we should expect that won’t be in game
small pecan
If you’re talking about the actual MMO, it’s not playable yet for anyone!
Otherwise Apoc BR is available to play right now, and Apoc Castle Sieges are in very limited testing
grave lichen
ok i thought with early access its already playable
so when i buy the 75$ pack i get access to beta for 2 months, but when can i actually play it?
stable plover
There was an A0 testing period that tested just mmo stuff but that was almost 2 years ago, you could check for some footage of that on YouTube if interested - next month we are getting a preview of a1 at gdc
grave lichen
i dont know what a1 gdc and AO means
stable plover
alpha one at the game developer conference and alpha 0
grave lichen
ah okay thx
spiral torrent
I forget if I remember this correctly or not, but has Intrepid stated that Castle sieges (not nose sieges) will be much smaller scale? That they will have a hard player numbers cap?
Ok. I thought it was confirmed that there will be a much lower cap for castle sieges.
There is however no cap at all for node sieges aside from what the server can handle, right?
stable plover
That's correct as far as we know.
ruby swift
@grave lichen Also a clarification. The sub time that is part of the packages is not consumed until the game "live launches" its retail version that requires a sub fee.
stable plover
Oh and the siege testing coming up is supposed to be 100v100
grave lichen
thank you guys
ionic arch
Are wands going to be a thing in the mmo
I love it, it's something different than the staff 90% of games use for mage classes
dark jungle
wraith blaze
Will various weapons and armor that are capable of looking like a specific element such as a sword with an ice attribute resemble a sword of ice? Without the use of various skins/cosmetics?
crystal beacon
^^wands, tomes and orbs. lots of unique weapons for mages
unborn sonnet
Will Siege just be presented in March or will it also be released ?
ruby swift
There has been no information concerning dates, either release or showcase, beyond something with A1 during GDC time in March.
tender wren
any class can use any weapon, but not all classes are good at every weapon
crystal beacon
does any1 know how to fix cursor allignment i only have this problem with apoc still havent been able to even test out game..
lean marlin
ionic arch
Did they rethink their take on the combat in the mmo? As far as I know they wanted to implement tab target instead of action combat 🤔
fading latch
That was never the case. A Hybrid combat system was always their end goal. However, they said that if it doesnt work, they will settle for a tab system
gray patrol
Hey guys, when we play the mmo side of this game? I didn't opt in for another battle royale. I wanted my mmo alpha test.
rich spear
Why did I just watch a video on New World’s gameplay and get the feeling that their recent changes straight ripped off AOC’s ideas?
Pretty blatantly
gray patrol
they made a battle royale, too?
ruby swift
@ionic arch
ionic arch
~Yawn
Nothing against AoC but tab target even if done right like archeage or BnS is just dull. I find this especially irritating if you look at the pure masses of players that enjoy action combat/fps style games and don't play mmos because it has tab target combat.
Idk if I'm getting the wrong picture here, but the combat in apoc is action combat, right?.. Any reason behind not pursuing that?
dark jungle
they are pursing action combat
ionic arch
Do I need to understand the reasoning behind that
Hm.. I hope they make the smartest decision here. There are lots of games that are memorable about their action combat - not so much about tab target
violet pine
The smartest decision is completely an individual opinion boss. I don't understand how tab vs action is such a big turn off. The game looks beautiful and full of things to do, it's so early in the process to be worried about such trivial things.
ionic arch
?
The game can be as beautiful as you want, but if I'm bored because I can only press one button every 3 seconds because of global cooldowns that's not what I define as fun
Especially since in PvP reaction time and the control of your character are really important
- action combat allows for MUCH more impact and feeling..
crystal beacon
Pretty sure they already said they're not going with a global cooldown for the tab side of things
dark jungle
they made it so that you decide what kind of skills you have on your bar. do you like action? use action skills, do you like tab, use tab
your choice
choice isnt forced on you, its called player agency
they are planning a combo type system for tab
ionic arch
if they give the choice then it is. There will always be a meta and I hardly doubt using only action combat skills would work together nearly as good as a mix of both
dark jungle
meta has nothing to do with it
ionic arch
I personally feel like any tab target game doesn't make me feel like I control my character, it's more like I'm watching someone else. Especially if you don't move your camera with your mouse
dark jungle
some people are better at action targeting than others
there is no meta that can take that into account
ionic arch
? The way you described it just means certain skills are action and other are tab
yea but a meta will ALWAYS come out of that @dark jungle
dark jungle
no
ionic arch
lol
dark jungle
people who cant action target will never use action skills
thats not a meta its a fact of life
ionic arch
it literally isn't, people play what's meta. If there is a combination of action+tab that's stronger or more efficient people will use it.
That's a fact, as Jahlon said
dark jungle
ashes is not a simple game, there is no one right way to do anything
ionic arch
That doesn't change my statement
then there are multiple ways that are better then others
dark jungle
when there is one way to do something of course you can have a meta
ionic arch
that's still a meta
dark jungle
when there are multiple possible ways to do it there can be several best ways, depending on the skill of the player for example
thats right
its not a simple game
simple games get boring
crystal beacon
So from what I understand, the action combat in APOC won't be in the mmorpg?
Okay, so can we still aim with our mouse and melee with left-click or whatever?
Do any other games employ a similar system I could use for a visual frame of reference?
lean marlin
correct, BDO is the only current one that remotely resembles it.
winter zinc
Are we ever gonna get development updates every week instead of monthly, maybe it's just me but it seems to be too long at this point of the games stage
dark jungle
id prefer the focus on doing the development work rather than talking about doing it 😄
winter zinc
That's not it, people want to see progress
Not necessarily live streams either
Just something each week posted with what they have been up too
Working on
placid vessel
No, they aren't likely to do weekly reports at this point
Intrepid remains tight-lipped, which is a good thing imo
ruby swift
The whole transparency thing was a nice dream. But since people are idiots, this is why we can't have nice things. They need to go full No Man's Cry and just stop telling people anything and just announce dates when firm with no lead in. Having a PI Siege test in Dec made people antsy for stuff, and when it hasn't come they start to chew on their own paws to get them outta the hype trap.
oops, just realized this is questions and not discussion. Damn you multiple channels!
placid vessel
^Actually, I agree
lean marlin
Honestly, I would agree that it needs to be more shh and things need to just be worked on. This coming from all of the Bannerlord crap that happened, where the devs on that game kept releasing Dev dairies....with no new info and about sally, the lady that made the grass this specific green. Updates are ok, but we don't need a constant stream of info.

long waiting time?

There won't be any steampunk apart from the potion launcher although that's more magic than anything else

Hey guys! is there any complete guide for installing this game?
I am stuck on 0%. I followed the uninstall steps
@simple ether thanks!
stable plover
@spiral dust You might have a better time installing with the steam version atm
lean marlin
@quasi latch any of them honestly. Any class can use any weapon, meaning any summoner class can fight beside their winions.
surreal horizon
@tight gale Can you give us any indication of whether we will hear about alpha 1 this livestream or if there's something big coming?
desert ivy
No way we'll hear anything about A1 this live stream, earliest will be GDC in March. Might hear about Castle Siege though next stream
tight gale
We'll be showing progress towards A1 as per usual. We're always working towards the next milestone here! 
Now complete A1 footage, you'll have to wait until after GDC as we have some plans to roll out content afterwards. 
placid vessel
@tight gale Yaaaas.
ionic arch
@spiral dust it worked for me by downloading it with the launcher located in "C:\Program Files\Intrepid Studios, Inc\Apocalypse\APOC\Binaries\Win64", if you're still looking for a way, other than steam, to download it.
copper obsidian
Not that it’s important, but just curious if all the forum badges update automatically based on activity and pledges, or if you all have your own badge faerie that updates some of them from time to time?
tulip hatch
Its mostly automated now thankfully!
silent lantern
@quasi latch The only true summoner class is the main summoner class. If summoner is your secondary then it might offer some augment to one of your main class skills to give you some sort of a summon, but i bet that depending on your build you can fight alongside your summon with a Summoner main.
That being said, we don't know anything about the Summoner class or skill augments from secondary classes
ionic arch
Are the different areas just going to differentiate in their biomes [so (plant) life, general temperature, grass/sand] or also in their city structure? I'd love to see massive differences as example one elven-like city that uses old magic and a completely technical city with steampunk or something.. was this confirmed or denied yet?
so it was neither confirmed nor denied and depends on the races building style? Is there any information/concept art released on the style of the races? Or is that coming in the next live stream?
I think i might have heard that in the last live stream I am not sure though*
stable plover
The wiki should have concept art for most of the racial styles
ionic arch

lucid kraken
ah okay, was a worth the try:D
brazen fable
Are there turtles?
quasi latch
my question is will summoner able to augment his summon to be lightning elementals for example ?
is i will go full Conj
desert ivy
I'm pretty sure you ask these summoner questions every few days and every time we tell you that we don't have info yet
ionic arch
A lot of games just give mages 3 second cast times where they have to stand still and not do anything. Since I dislike this turret playstyle, are mages going to be as fluid as other classes (probably fighter/rogue)? Or is it just going to be awkward running, the occasional teleport and bunny hopping away from people that are trying to kill you?
Didn't find anything about this in the wiki - did they mention anything about this somewhere else?
lean marlin
You'd probably have to get someone that was part of A0 to answer that.
@desert ivy and yeah seems so.
tulip hatch
@ionic arch it was mentioned that only few abilities will require a player to remain stationary during combat
youll be able to opt out of having those types of skills on your build if you so wish it
ionic arch
Do you have any info on how mobility and spells will be tied together? Will it be kinda like bdo does it (sorcerers iframe, archer movement skills..)
Ah I guess that's too much of a specific thing to ask
Thanks though
ionic arch
the wiki doesn't specify about class specific abilities, I think that'll have to wait a long time. But still a great first insight, thank you!
ionic arch
I mean, stuff like certain skills from warrior moving you forward and you can then chain these together to get a mobility loop.
dark jungle
we dont have info on the fighter archetype yet
tulip hatch
Skills arent fully fleshed out yet either though plus we dont know the full extent of all the augments so we cant really provide a complete look into that yet
dark jungle
we only have the info from alpha-0 and from apoc
tulip hatch
definitely a question you can provide for the livestream maybe theyll give you a more in depth answer
ionic arch
yea fighter was just an example of how bdo does its mobility. That's what I was referring to earlier
That's a good idea
ionic arch
Aight postet the question, this is what I meant by weaving in skills (if you didn't play bdo).. https://imgur.com/a/DX9hQ1G
eager rock
Is there any information on "Patron Guilds"?
I ran across this in the AOC Wiki and dont recall this but there is very limited info. Just there are a limited amount per node depending on level and it depends on how much your guild contributes to the node.
Was there a stream with a little more information on what this is?
dark jungle
what is in the wiki is all the information we have been given
if you want to see the sources of the info, click on the references [1] [2] etc

Evening! Longtime supporter who backed Ashes of Creation when it was still on Kickstarter, and a survivor of the old forums here! I've been checking the Discord channel periodically, and have just now begun to recover my profile and try to get things in order.
I'm noticing that my badges I had from the old forums have been lost, and that all of my posts have been lost to time and filed away as a "ArchivedUser". Is there anyway to get that stuff recovered and my new forums profile to reflect it?
Additionally, is there any code I'd need to enter to link things up with my migrated profile from my Kickstarter backing, or is that tracked via email? Sorry for the questions! @plucky pawn

Hiya @sharp pewter - the FAQs here from our relaunched forums should be able to help you out! Forum FAQ: https://ashesofcreation.com/news/2019-04-04-forum-launch-and-faq
If you are able to log into your Intrepid profile and see your package level and all your items in your inventory, then you are already good to go and migrated! If you never initially redeemed your Kickstarter code on your account, you may need to do so now 😄

prisma ore
what is Ashes of Creation
dark jungle
its a better version of new world
prisma ore
? but neither is out yet ?
lean marlin
how to explain this.
Ashes of Creation is an MMORPG being developed by Intrepid Studios, not Apocalypse with was basically a testing situation etc "insert old conversation here". It's using a lot of elements that should make it at least moderately entertaining, including the player driven development of nodes, which turns into cities etc.
prisma ore
so it's competeing with New World??
lean marlin
I wouldn't say it is. NW is however borrowing ideas apparently.
desert ivy
Won't need to compete with New World, New World is gonna kill itself
stable plover
@prisma ore Sort of in the way that any games compete, but they're not really quite the same genre.
prisma ore
@desert ivy think I'm getting both, everyone said FO76 was bad but I enjoyed it, had glitches tho, but very enjoyable
I just feel like since it's Amazon game, it's gana be big, Amazon is a major company
ruby swift
New World would be a good taster to find out if the mmo here is something you might like. Sadly NW is Ashes light. One race, no classes, 50v50 "node battles" and other functions that are several factors greater in what Ashes has promised. Then again, you will most likely be able to play NW in April/May, while the A1 for this mmo is still delayed with no date.

It's literally the same question, for the most part, every time. We don't know to what extent that will happen.

I would post this in a development channel if there were one. What graphics API is AoC using?
@simple ether ROFLMAO download more RAM hilarious stuff bruh
stable plover
@strong talon I think early on the devs were using DX11 and have since upgraded to DX12.
civic terrace
so, is AoC at PAX east? 
I see, hopefully something good to be shown tomorrow then. Since they said they would show alpha1 at PAX East, did not they?
alright, could not remember, thanks

@prisma ore but they have already made bigg mistakes and firings, its their first project and so far they keep exemplifying they have no idea what they are doing an getting in the way of the developers.

@jade rover They havn’t made 1 mistake yet, everything online is just guessing that they’re messing up, ok so they fired ppl, or those ppl quit, how’s that a mistake already? seems like they’re adjusting and planning to me,.... like name 1 mistake that’s not speculation.
jade rover
they fired the lead designer, this was his brain child and now no one knows what they are doing so they are going off what the fans 'want'. Look i am very against "the money" being able to make comments or edits to what the dev/design team want to do, this ruins EVERY game. Firing programmers has also proven to mess up games as programmers have their own typing 'accent', this ruins release dates and lauches(remember when CoD launched and everyone was complaining about the spawning system? this programmer was fired like 2months b4 launch).
They are going to beta in april and no one watching has any ideas about how the game works...don't you feel that this is an issue!?
quartz coral
Nope @jade rover
They have always had more than one programmer working so they have people that know what they are doing
Hope you have a productive day bye bye 👋

I guess no1 will really know until it comes out. I think I'll reserve my opinion on the game until I've tried it.

there are target or non-target combat system?
lean marlin
I think he means, "Are there non tab target, and tab target combat system?" The answer to that is yes.
grave gazelle
Like in tera/BDO where you just physically face and chase targets instead of clicking on the@ or tabbing
