@plucky pawn For future forum livestream question posts, could you add a link to the wiki in your opening post with the disclaimer that looking there first might save them effort of asking already known info. It is great that Ashes is generating so much interest from new people that don't know what has come before, but the "How do I node?" meme needs to die.
plucky pawn
I would be glad to @ruby swift , but I have a feeling it won't change much ;) for example, that post has said "ONE QUESTION PER PERSON" for several months now, and...well, y'all keep posting so many!

Lol, I feel ya, but figured it might help.

Regarding dwarves: Have the reasons for the separation of the sub-races been mentioned yet?

Hye guys. Just watching the stream now (sadly was working when stream went live), and have a question about skins that i've seen.
Will we be able to move the cosmetics we buy from the shop (including those from backer packs) from one character to the other on the same account ?
They mentioned that the skins we buy we'll be able to move from account to the character, but didn't mention anything about moving the skins from one character to another on the same account. Not even worth mentioning from account to account since it will create basis for real life cash trading and would be unacceptable.
ruby swift
Most cosmetics will be account locked. Those earned in APOC, Kickstarter/Summer rewards, and anything purchased from the website store. What has been mentioned as an example in the past is that you will have an "account cosmetic bank." You want to use your SuperGlow Bear skin on a mount owned by Character 1. You apply the skin. Later you want to move that skin to Character 2. You take the skin off Character 1, put it back in the "bank" and then move it to Character 2. Todays livestream was confusing because the person was asking about character achievement skins, which from their answer will not be part of the account bank. So Character 1 reaches level 50 and earns the Cape of 50 Rainbow. You will NOT be able to move that particular cosmetic into the account bank and then put it on Character 2.
tacit kelp
@ruby swift Great to know. Just finished watching livestream and was watching Jahlon's video on youtube and he game a similar explanation.
ruby swift
Also I seem to remember that there was mention that skinned items/mounts will not be saleable/tradeable in game. You apply your molten sword skin to an iron sword, you would not be able to trade/sell that sword while it is skinned.
Which leads me to a convoluted question that requires a dev answer. @plucky pawn If someone drops skinned gear while corrupted, what happens to the skin?
tacit kelp
Don't know all the info, but I don't think a corrupted will drop skin. They will drop gear, but I think the skin will be character locked, meaning they will find it in their "character skin vault" to apply to other items, and the item dropped by the corrupted will have no skin when picked.
At least that's what i think. Because if they make it so someone lose will drop skins (even if only cash shop skins), it will be used as a form of trading, meaning they will be able to use some form of RL money trading.
ruby swift
Yep, but it is an instance that hasn't been clarified yet. There are certain skins that you can lose permanent access to in game. For example the guild barding and cloaks that some got as KS rewards. Leave that guild after assigning those rewards and you are SooL.
tacit kelp
Meaning they will have access to Guild asset vault when going to guild treasury. So while at guild treasury they can access the Guild asset vault/chest to use skins. But when they die as corrupted they will not drop the skins, they will just be restricted to use the skin again. Permanently, for limited time, or until they are not corrupted anymore. That will need to be discussed more by devs and community.
ruby swift
No, I mean that once you assign your Kickstarter reward to a guild. If you leave the guild, those rewards do not revert back to you, but are instead left with the guild you assigned them to. So if you have those rewards you had better be pretty damn sure you are staying for the long haul. We know that there are very few items that will be "bop/boe" in game. The plan was always to have things able to be freely traded back and forth in game, and even the extremely rare legendary items that may be single drops on a server can be dropped as part of the corruption mechanic was confirmed last year. I am just wondering what the mechanic for skinned items will be. I can evision some very irritated customers if skins that they paid real money for just go poof and the response is "too bad, shouldn't have let your corruption get that high"
tacit kelp
As i said, if they let the cash shop skins be dropped when killed while corrupted, this will create a gate for people with evil intentions to trade "real life money" items. Same can be said about legendary skins. If they drop and would be able to be picked by the killer or someone else, then it will give a gate for people to sell their rare, legendary/one-of-a-kind skins for cash or something else.
I do believe they should make so that the skins "drop" and are lost completely, or if they're cash shop items to be unavailable for a period of time or at least until they are no longer corrupted.
crystal beacon
Good point @tacit kelp
ruby swift
Yep, will see if we can tease a clarification out of them once they wake up, or after the weekend. It all depends on the mechanic for removing/restoring skins to the "account bank." If it is an auto strip and return thing, no biggie. If it requires you to actually do something to move that skin back into the bank, could be some issues. I am not worried at all about the molten sword being picked up by someone still being molten. It would be iron for them. I am more worried that the skin goes poof in the case of a destroyed item, since there is a chance of drop or destroyed at high enough levels of corruption.

when will this game be playable as MMO?
lean marlin
A1 sometime this year.
crystal beacon
The a1 gameplay footage will be this march
fair yew
From my understanding the skin would be a separate equipment slot. So they wouldnโt be applied like a dye or something like that
Thanks @simple ether
lean marlin
I can't remember, but are weapons also going to have abilities?
not like the "lifebringer" and it's lifesteal, but like a spear would have a combat ability just called "thrust" or something?

https://status.ashesofcreation.com/ says the patch servers are up but when i go to patch i get log error

it crashed bad on patcher last time i played so i had to do a full reinstall * i deleted all proper apoc files etc
it soudns like it may be better to just re full install and delete the apoc stuff and use a steam client ?

Guild Question:
Guild levels up, you must decide to level guild skills or increase guild member cap.
Did we find out if we can respect guild skills. Example you think your going to be a small guild. Put all points into skills. But popularity sets in and need to add more members.
Thanks I'll add that to the next Q&A list.
surreal elk
@eager rock speculation, would be that it would be very expensive or time consuming, for respecs as it has been stated that way for Class respecs etc. They want your choices to matter. (either way good idea to add to Q&A)
fathom sky
Question:
Will ALL weapons and armor in the game be crafted by players? Or is it possible to find weapons and armor around the world? If all weapons and armor will be crafted by players, then will we find better raw materials in dungeons and raids?
Will players be able to repair their own weapon and armor? What will be spent to repair? Raw materials?
fathom sky
Nice. Thanks @dark jungle
Well, the link says "World Boss", but it also mentions raiding. Raids will be in the open world (no instance), as will most PvP content?

reef dagger
So when we choose to get passives instead of guild cap increases, do we choose the category we gain a passive in, or is it a tree where you have to spec into 3 life skill passives to gain a couple combat passives?

That level of detail of the process has never been explained and <speculation> hasn't even been developed yet.

fading latch
There is no proximity chat either
crystal beacon
anyone have a link to confirm if VC is a thing or not?
@simple ether jahlon always ready with the link. this is why i always watch your vids, Thank you!
i would like to have proximity imo
feel like it could create more friendship/story to your own player
i agree, end of the day it would be a waste. but would be interesting for an mmorpg to do it
ruby swift
No, it would be a shitshow. We had a creepy guy who used to hang out at the Auction House and sing in a real creepy French accent "OOOhhhh zank heeven, fur leetle gurls.....cause leetle gurls....." When you allow people ways to grief others that impact them or remove choice, it will not end well.
eternal imp
People who don't Rp often have these excuses ready to hand out when in reality the ignore button becomes your wasted resource
eternal imp
I complllllleeetely misread and did not scrolling up as I thought the convo was for ingame text chat - crusade hat off - a VOIP would be hard to shift through people and ignore if it was just 'anything goes', lt alone intrusive even if done in the best RP format
Blizzard completely revamped their VOIP system, and after using it once I can say it was actually good, yet it gets no use whatsoever and I don't have any plans to use it again even if asked... Discord is the King.
copper obsidian
Ooooh @eternal imp I see what youโre saying
@crystal beacon Like proximity chat, eavesdropping if others are close enough
Text version?
Somehow it would be cool if as you got close to an area, the game tells you, โYou hear some muffled speech nearby to the N/S/E/W of youโ or something like that
But yeah, I would prefer to turn off wide-aeea or global chats and just immerse

sly monolith
i dont understand couple of things: pvp wise in the open world... why would a player attack another player? there is no reward?
small pecan
Players drop a portion of their current resources upon death! And for controlling zones for farming, killing world bosses, etc!
ruby swift
Based on their flagging state. Those that fight back drop the least.
And is has been stated as being gathered resources, not processed. Got iron ore on ya, drop a %. Make swords outta that ore, not dropped.
But since everything has weight with the exception of currency, not very many people are going to be carrying 500 swords.
ruby swift
You can attack anyone
sly monolith
yes but you go corrupt
ruby swift
Just have to decide whether the penalty you may get is worth it.
Only if they die. Attack someone, they stand there. Obvious they are not going to attack back, go find someone else. Or kill them and deal with the penalties. Up to you.
sly monolith
are there any rewards then to level up as a combatent player?
as your flagged for pvp during leveling
ruby swift
There is plenty of "sanctioned" pvp out there. Caravan raiding and so on. No, you are only flagged for pvp in certain circumstances. The default is everyone is non-combatant. It is not a toggle or "opt-in" mechanic.
sly monolith
omg ๐ฆ
ruby swift
But as to player corruption, it is all stick, no carrot.
sly monolith
so there just certain zones you can pvp or "hotspots"
ruby swift
For example, think of a caravan as having a "bubble" around them. Enter the bubble you will get a message of Attack, Defend, or Ignore. Once you select that, you will be purple
Unless of course you select ignore. To trigger outside of those places or circumstances you have to target the other player with a single target ability. Hit them and you flag purple. How they flag, purple or green depends on how they react. If they attack back, you both are purple. If they don't they stay green. The wiki explains this in great detail and several people have done excellent videos on it. Jahlons is recommended. Corruption is one of the few mechanics planned that we have details on.
sly monolith
ok thx
ruby swift
Here is a nice timestamped video of Stevens thinking on it back in 2017
And Jahlons vid on corruption
sly monolith
thx... so the trick is to stay combatent

So lately they have mentioned a lot about your basic combo ability. Is it safe to assume your basic combo is going to depend on your weapon type, not class?

Weapons will have thier own skill sets, so nothing is safe to assume at this time imo. We don't know if the combo will be weaponry-based, class-based, or both.
random valley
Hello, havenโt checked in since around August or so. Going to ask same question I did then. Have there been updates on the MMO side of things? Specifically news about nodes?
grim breach
Not about nodes specifically. There have been a lot of updates regarding the MMO, but nothing too big. We should hear a lot about the MMO this month. They will show a preview of A1 during the end of March livestream. Probably will show some bits and pieces in this month.
random valley
Ah okay. Well Iโll keep hoping. My group has me atleast ask once in a blue moon
stable plover
@random valley There's been some stuff about the function of guilds in relationship to nodes, and I think there was some info on node layout, and some stuff with node building animations
We got the world map back in December which marked some initial locations which led to some theorycrafting about node placement.
random valley
Iโll be sure to check the updates out. Iโm pretty sure I got an email with the map a while back. It certainly looks cool from the layout. Thank yโall for letting me know
grim breach
I have a question. Since global events won't delevel nodes anymore will we see some damages done to the nodes due to the events? Cosmetic wise or in actual numbers? Say a dragon attacks a node. What happens after that?

yes just the currencies you buy get lost i would think but maybe that also gets into the game start?
ok cool so i get all back at start of live game start^^
jipee lets go shopping^^
ah thats what i ment^^
spent currencies are gone but what about the items you buy for that currencie they stay?
just xp boosts are then gone forever and stuff like that

As far as PvP and world exploration goes, are there going to be any restrictions to where you can go? I.e. I'm a part of a faction/node that's at war with another one thus i can't go to that node.

yes, u get ember but that is not my q
will i be able to purchase other cosmetics with ember

In order to purchase individual cosmetics you need a package that contains the type of cosmetic you want
So if you want to purchase the individual costumes you'll need the voyager plus

my friend told me that i couldnt and that freaked me out

Correct^

so if i dont get 375$ pre order i wount be able to get any mount skins in game
for my ember or whatever

Did we need a pack to buy cosmetic of the month separately? Or si it reserved for Ks backers?

Hey @mossy cave
The new player from us wanted to buy one of the MMO packages from Intrepid and unfortunately "xsolla" is blocked by his bank and therefore cannot buy it. But he would like to use the current package offer, are there other payment options?
mossy cave
@earnest bramble Unfortunately, Xsolla is our only payment processor. He may be able to ask his bank to allow an exception if he'd like to make a purchase with us.
Within Xsolla, there are many payment options available, like PayPal so that may work for him

Then it's time for new ways: D, Ok thanks. I will pass it on.

i remember it being mentiond in some form but i dont remember the context. but have they said anything about what building skins you can use on what buildings ?
obtuse perch
So if the cloack will only be a one piece cosmetic.. what else will show underneath?
I dont want to have a badass cloack and then underwear to show like in many games that give players a set undie.
Cloak
ruby swift
@sudden magnet We have asked and the current answer is that they are still waiting on the design team to let them know, then they will let us know.
@obtuse perch Cosmetics have a paperdoll system. Some as costumes take multiple slots, some take one. If your costume covers the cloak slot, then you will not be able to have both. Like many other systems, we have partial information, so specific examples are limited and subject to change.

Ok thanks

last osprey
can i ask a question to the mods?
why do you delete comments on your youtube videos that arent positive? (and basically tell facts and the truth)
dont tell me that. tell intrepid. i simply said "why are we getting only reskin videos and we get a gameplay footage literally every 7 months. (caravan system vid before 7 months, castle siege vid before 13 months)
desert ivy
Well good thing we're getting Alpha 1 gameplay this month 
last osprey
yeah, that way my 7 month formula will be correct once again
desert ivy
Why show stuff that isn't ready yet? If they show subpar footage you'll get people being like "ree the game looks shit 
" even though it's 3 years from release
like 
desert ivy
No because Star Citizen looks heavily p2w
last osprey
only that?

I dunno. The P2W is the only thing I've really seen of SC, but that alone is enough to make me not care enough to look into it more.

just read in here that we're losing apoc servers on the 10th. what's the reasoning behind this? i seem to have missed it if it was put out
tulip hatch
The reason stated was to prepare for the Alpha 1 phase of the MMORPG. They have not elaborated further yet
turbid egret
kk. with that, since they mentioned they were going to show alpha 1 during that conference thing, and they cancelled those plans for health reasons, will we be receiving that alpha 1 footage during what would've been the conference time, or will it be with the normal stream at the end of the month?
since it'd be preferred to have it during conference days so i don't have to wait as long ๐
or is that unknown so far?

@modern badger If you have the Braver of Worlds package, you are able to individually purchase any of the items that you spot and like in any month moving forward! As those items are only available for a limited time, they are not rolled into any existing packages ๐

Interesting....thank you for quick reply Toast!
plucky pawn
My pleasure, let me know if there's any other questions I can help answer!
pearl oyster
Question may be too specific, might be better for a livestream...but ima ask it anyway. โit was been stated that gear is going to take on a racial theme based on the wearer (ie; an orc in the eagle set will look physically different from an elf in the same set). My question regards the crafter customization suite. Say I am making a chest plate in the suite, I assume Iโll be selecting a base model that has modular components and attachment slots and the works. How will these two features work in tandem? For example, Will the set I designed to be incredibly orcish somehow translate to an โelvishโ model once I sell it to an elf?
quartz coral
First mistake was using the word โassumeโ @pearl oyster never EVER assume with intrepid studios lol good luck finding your answer

Precisely. I wouldnโt ask a question if I could find the answer on the wiki.

If youre looking for a direct Dev response your best bet is when they are active in the discussion channels or during livestream Q&As

Will there be any changes or are the classes and class combination final? I don't want to complain .. I just want to know.. so I can plan my evil deeds!
lean marlin
EVerything is subject to change, but Primaries and Sub combos seem cemented.
sly monolith
seems a bit confusing for me.. when some tell that the sub choice only enpoweres the main skills.. or is it also giving me new skills/abilities?
tell or read
dark jungle
secondary choice augments the skills but doesnt add any new skills
sly monolith
so picking up a tank with cleric as sub.. dont allow me to heal people?
because in the stream this steven guy told differently
dark jungle
you only get the skills from your primary. you augment those skills from your secondary. what you end up with could be a mix of both, so you might get healing augments to your primary skills
lean marlin
Essentially, say you have like "raging strike* (probably not an ability just an example) as a tank primary, but you also have cleric as your secondary. It might heal you or give you a shield or something. But you won't actually get any new abilities from that secondary, just an added effect.
sly monolith
charge and buff orso... ye that's what i figured aswell
native obsidian
So if there is going to be Player Collision, will mounts be allowed in the city? Or will they 'poof' before a player and their mount enter? Otherwise I picture Very packed streets with mounts.
stable plover
@native obsidian I don't think we have this exact question answered, but the devs but an example of mounts needing to exist in cities is royal mount launch pads at royal stables require that royal mounts be able to go through cities without poofing. We also know that nodes can have non-royal stables that mounts can be aquired from and it might feel odd not to be able to mount near those.
native obsidian
Ouch okay, thanks, that seems like cities will get pretty packed pushing through mounts. If that is the case, will people be able to push big mounts, like they will players?
stable plover
We've also seen caravans leaving from / arriving in fairly central parts of the node in the preview videos I think
fair patrol
Only in cities?
stable plover
I think the details of the player collision system are particularly intended to be worked out in testing.
ruby swift
The issue was brought up early in development. They stated they have a solution and to not worry about it.
lean marlin
The main reason (at least I think) collision was made to be a thing, probably has to do with if a city comes under attack. You can't bottleneck forces if they can just run through you.
ruby swift
Various reasons. Mainly to stop zergballs like ESO stack and spam. There is also spell collision.
lean marlin
so, assuming spell collision is like Fireball+fireball = void/ explosion.
ruby swift
You pack 3 mages all spamming aoe in a small area. Instead of 3 meteor rings (example) you get the effect of one hitting the mobs as the other parts of the circle are hit by the other mages and cancelled out.
lean marlin
yeah, makes sense.
undone ravine
So should I be deleting Apocalypse from my steam?
lean marlin
i mean you can. We won't have new info on it for a while.
undone ravine
Alrighty, just making sure. I'm pretty much here for the MMO anyway ๐
ruby swift
@undone ravine From the FAQ. Q: Will I need to keep Ashes of Creation Apocalypse installed in order to participate in Alpha One testing?
A: No, Alpha One testing will be available in a separate client in the future - if you'd like to uninstall the Ashes of Creation Apocalypse client after Early Access servers close for Battle Royale testing, please follow these instructions.
fair patrol
Dang spell collision as well, this should be interesting, also, I smell a new pc incoming
That sounds like a lot of fun tbh, if ppl can cancel spells coming at them with other spells
grim breach
Can we (try to) deflect a meteor (for example) using basic attacks or combos of our equipped weapons?
ruby swift
They have yet to confirm that the spell collision mechanics made it out of development, whether they were only for friendly fire, or if equipped weapons would have any effect on magical attacks beyond blocking. Stay tuned.
crystal beacon
@quartz coral that makes sense lol ๐
viral totem
Will the monthly cosmetics that we mostly get shown concepts of be available to be purchased when Ashes is released? or will they no longer be available at that point? I'd probably be more inclined to buy them if it was something I could see in game
bleak sinew
The cosmetic items offered in the monthly packages are only available during the period they are on the website. But other cosmetic items that are of equivalent aesthetic consequence will be available through in game means.
quartz coral
I want to see the interior to this months ship cosmetic!!! Will you be able to customize the interiorsto ships (like a freehold!!?) that would be SICK โค๏ธ๐ค

Do we know anything about gear? Will there be items specifically for class, or anyone can wear anything? Fixed stats or random generated with way to adjust them?
pine forge
ok here is a thing that kinda bothers me : as i read on Asches101 there will be no racial languages so would intrepid actually mind if(cause i set my eyes on the tulnar as my main race) if the players would come up with a Racial Language?
hmm well you are kinda right
maybe in my freetime
stable plover
@pine forge I think that Intrepid is just not planning on having the racial languages in game as a mechanical thing, but Intrepid does seem to have racial languages in the lore - Some examples are โBrโah, intella nuโum, muun maโalmaโ from the 2nd pathfinder story, Steven mentioning 'Verra' has other words for it in various languages, and the mention of another language in Dilla's Diary.

@stable plover thank you for your wisdom. i will look forward to it.

Hey, is the FOV in the game fixed? Meaning can I make the camera closer to my character than what I've seen in Livestreams? I know that in Sieges and what not it is, just wondering if that's for the whole game.
I'm referring to the MMO camera, I would prefer it if I could have the camera closer up like it is in APOC

Serious Question: If there are gods that are capable of our worship in-game, will there be a God of Sandals present?
plucky pawn
@wraith blaze Serious answer - I believe Jeff and others have covered before that we'd like to keep the number of meta/jokes/silliness (that isn't tied to the dark fantasy feel) to a minimum ๐ that's not to say you won't see things like fun interactions with GMs and the like!
wraith blaze
I understand ๐
stable plover
Less serious answer - Of the 7 good deities, we know that 5 of them are the God/Goddess of Love, Creation, Hope, Fate, and Truth which does not sound like 'Sandals' would be the thing missing from the list. "from: Steven#8582 sandal" might suggest that Sandals could be a religious symbol as opposed to a portfolio element.

โGoodโ deities, are there any plans to add their inverses/opposites?

There are three gods on the corrupt side, so I wouldn't expect exact parallels. https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Religions

Riding in on the Corruption~, will Corruption as an in-game mechanic be reflected the same as it is in Lore? (Corrupted players, corrupted animals, corrupted Verra all possibly linked to an element being corruption)
ruby swift
They have said that there will be a corrupted effect on certain mobs. My last info seen is that they had not given firm confirmation on players having the same effect when corrupted through flagging mechanics. We saw a small example of this in A0 and the PAX demo with the corrupted avians.

I'm confident in this game because the team is actively staying connected with the community, showing us the progress of the game step by step and keeping us in the loop of things. May have been a bumpy start but i'm glad things are all in place now and going strong ever since the start of this year. I'm happy to be following this game and after I see a bit more on Alpha one, I am strongly thinking of backing this game.
soft mica
I would like to know if there will be special set of animations just for tanks. like proper shield holding (front, pretty much like a roman legionary in the phalanx), special one handed weapon animations for fighting with a shield (again looking at the roman legionary who used sword and shield to attack). Maybe even a proper taunt animation with sound. like a shout and weapon on shield clanging. In many mmo's tank animation is pretty much neglected or improvable. Any input?

my feelings still stand, major issues are one thing but redistribution of resources to a full game released on steam. minimal updates, lack of kickstarter promises fullfilled. idk how you can fault me for wanting my money back after 3 years jahlon
dark jungle
if you want to request a refund, you will need to raise a customer service ticket. you will not get any assistance just posting here on discord
fallow lintel
thank you that's why i asked in here
so i would know
how to do that
thank you @dark jungle
quartz coral
@fallow lintel you should watch my video on YouTube I just went to intrepid studios last weekend
fallow lintel
@dark jungle would you happen to know what it means when it says order number? i have my confirmation number from kickstarter. and i cant seem to find my order number on the accounts page of my ashes of creation
dark jungle
im not sure what that is, just enter in what you have, they will follow up if they need more

o.O if I cover Ornayda's 1000$ could I count as having backed the game 3 years ago?
Seems kind of silly to bail on an investment months before it starts kicking off...

So im a very recent backer (like this past week) and ive been lurking in some of the forums/here on disc but i havent really seen anyone address persistence, whats the plan on wiping servers/db/everything? can anyone link me to an official statement of any kind?
lean marlin
Someone can link it to you, but if I am correct, A1 gets wiped for A2. A2 becomes static as a testing area for stuff later. B1 and B2 both get wiped, then you have blank on release. Let me see if I can find something concrete for you.
granite heart
Ok that sounds reasonable
Does that also mean though that you have the entire A2/B1/B2 phases to just... do stuff? and if you spend embers/currency/anything/ you get what you bought with IRL money back on reset right?
lean marlin
So like, the outfits, building skins, etc are tied to your account. I'm not even sure if they will be there during testing, but if they are I would assume they stay with your account.
however @simple ether might have something to add to that.
granite heart
so don't spend embers till 1.0?
vast cove
will stream happen end of month?

How long will the packages be available for?
tulip hatch
the packages will be there until close to launch or right up till launch
cosmetics are cycled monthly
testing access may change as we approach specific testing milestones
for example alpha 1 is no longer sold and the package price was adjusted due to that change
low lantern
I assume at some point they might remove the Alpha 2 packages just like they did Alpha 1, but they will let us know ahead of time if that's the case.
And as Alluring said cosmetics change every month with this months being removed on April 4th
ruby swift
And after launch the store will still be there. Whether they continue with monthly themes has not been announced. But if you are worried that there won't be cosmetics for you to buy for the entire run of the game for years to come, don't worry.
stray current
@tight gale Well, you could always have everybody join from home and just record the virtual conference... ๐
Then nobody is at risk!
tight gale
We have a quality element we are aiming for @stray current .
But we appreciate the suggestion!
@low lantern , I will aim to let you know in advance if the packages change in a drastic manner regarding what they offer outside of the monthly cosmetic swaps.
white sequoia
Morning, Quick question Regarding Cosmetics, Take this months Cosmetics, if we look at the Costume Cosmetics (which is Phenomenal BTW !!!!), Given a character panel will have Helmet, Shoulders, Chest, Gloves Legs and so on, are the Costumes "Parts" as well so you can choose to add the Gauntlets/gloves, helm etc or just one complete item which covers all ?
ruby swift
There are both types in game. Costumes will take up several slots on the paperdoll for an overall appearance. You will also be able to skin individual pieces. It has been asked repeatedly for them to clarify which the cosmetics in the store are and the stock answer has always been "We are still waiting on an answer from the design team, we will let you know as soon as they tell us." So the answer to your question is: Maybe?
MargaretKrohn01/09/2020
The costume cosmetic does not come in pieces. It will cover your entire set.
The accessory cosmetic will only cover a specific slot.
MargaretKrohn03/05/2020
Costumes are full sets so it takes over everything not sections of your outfit.
We do have a hide helm option though. (Just not sure how it will interact with costumes)
MargaretKrohn12/07/2019
No. Cosmetics are one thing. They don't split up. Similar to the costumes.
white sequoia
ok ty very much for the information ๐ @ruby swift
quartz coral
Good job ๐ @ruby swift
oak warren
Are the cosmetics offered via the promotions discontinued items in-game? Meaning, will they be earnable when the game launches or are they only purchasable while the promotion is live?
Hmm, the current one is really making me want it

When is Release? This year yes?
full badger
@wanton bay We don't have a date on release yet, but given that we haven't even gone into public alpha testing yet it's unlikely to be fully released this year
Most mmorpgs of this size take 5-6 years to complete. Ashes began development in January 2016 so I'm anticipating a 2022 release (assuming no more major setbacks).
thorny nest
Sorry if this has already been asked, but when is the mmo reveal that was intended for GDC? I know Steven said they were going to do a live stream to show us the content since GDC is canceled, but I didn't catch when that will be? I just really don't want to miss it! ๐
ruby swift
They have said that they plan to show A1 content with this months livestream. It is usually the last Fri of a month. They are also under COVID lockdown atm and working from home. The last info given is that they still plan to do what they can, but that the situation is being evaluated constantly.

@jaunty apex I'd think this would likely depend on the eventual number of servers & regions - if there were so many that it might get long and unwieldy for folks to sift through, maybe they'd be categorized more largely ๐

@simple ether did we get a quote from steven of que times etc, if server pop was at capacity etc?
Im just wondering if they should learn from Classic. In the shit show that was that.
Yes wondering if there is a quote regaurding any of this?
Roger
little bit worrying during the buzz for release, but understandable
small pecan
Steven mentioned he was looking into something like sharding just for release at one point, I thought? Or a similar system with smaller โshardsโ
surreal elk
would be something we should ask for stream
small pecan
Near when Classic released. Because he saw some success there and wanted to avoid the initial queue stuff
Yes, he doesnโt want sharding exactly
surreal elk
hmm.
slow meadow
I think the conversation around WoW Classic was more acknowledgement that they may have to implement some form of shards at least temporarily to help with spike in concurrent players at launch, more so than an actual statement that they had changed their stance on not wanting to create shards.
Here is the section I was able to find related to it.
I think most people assumed the "unique ideas" was some form of sharding the server, but just not traditionally. i.e. Only sharding the beginning area out to X distance to cover the ability for players to get started and do something to not be staring at a countdown with the "queue" being later when moving away from the starter area. So you could still do a bit of questing/duel/etc while waiting
small pecan
I think I jumped the gun a bit there because he said that right when Classic was releasing, but I must have assumed--yea, eactly!
placid vessel
Hm, interesting.
slow meadow
to be clear everything is speculation beyond Steven acknowledging that queues are a problem they are very aware of and will try to be proactive to address. So Jahlon's point about their current stance is the more concrete information at this time.
small pecan
other small quote he said right after:
so yea, he "has ideas" to "combat" and "address" the queue, however that means!

With all the new hype around DirectX 12 U and Ray Tracing, are we gonna see any of that in ashes?

Just wondering cause I hope ashes pushes my computer to it's limit with how amazing I can make it look.
(at least on max graphics mode...)
desert ivy
There's no raytracing and they don't have any plans to implement it
rustic relic
this is info from the wiki or something? How do you know?
ruby swift
They answered it in a livestream.
silk oracle
What about DLSS tho @ruby swift
rustic relic
It dosn't have to specifically be RTX. The dynamic mesh loading or really any of the improvements they'd get from using Dx12U is what I was hoping to hear about.
ruby swift
Basically every new tech that rears its head that people want to see they have said that while it is cool, they will not be implementing it for launch. That they may revisit it sometime in the future since the engine and their coders give them flexibility.
rustic relic
Ahh. duh. that makes total sense. Maybe they will do something like what FFXIV did for heavensward.

do we know when / if they'll do the livestream with the alpha stuff?
unborn sonnet
Wouldnโt put my hand in the fire for that - previously they did an announcement a week before the stream...would be bad marketing if there is neither an announcement nor any other marketing to catch peopleโs attention for the next big preview
lean current
I would also guess that it will be later, since they are planning to show the first preview of the actual alpha one, which people wait for for three years. They probably won't announce that just 2 days before.

Just crazy how it was mid march for preview, then end march for preview. You wonder now when itโll happen. I do agree with @unborn sonnet

devout socket
I saw the question about the guild being 300 character limit, not player. How is that helpful for guilds like mine who are in a different game and are bringing the majority of the guild over. We have 450 characters total currently and about 200 active members. All of us have at least 3 alts, with the majority averaging 7 alts each. Is there a way we can all still stay together and progress together?
hidden crane
Yes, just make separate guilds for your alts
devout socket
Does that mean we have to literally keep up with 2-3 guilds because that isn't really something anyone is going to do. That seems like a silly suggestion.
surreal elk
alt guild, and main guild. only way you can do it in Ashes
hidden crane
Your alternative is to have a multi-cluster guild
devout socket
Can you explain what that means please?
surreal elk
you cant go above a 300 Member count in 1 guild, and thats char based no account based @devout socket
devout socket
Yes I know that, I was asking if there's any way to keep all of us together in the same guild since the majority of us are altoholics and love playing all the different class/races.
hidden crane
That means you have about 10 guilds of 50-players each, with your respect alts.
Same guild, nope.
surreal elk
so like above, u either have a main guild (meaning ur mains) and have alt guilds
and if u have above 300 active members have 2 guilds running that are allied with each other is the only way any sorta system could be used. Most guilds with 300 member counts plan on this while using Disc as their source of guild chat etc
devout socket
Where can I read up on Alliances? That would potentially solve the problem ๐
surreal elk
ashes wiki
devout socket
@surreal elk Our guild is established already, discord is used daily (we main WoW at the moment but play a variety of other games as a group), so having them connected in some way would be a big plus to convince more of the guild to join us. Thank you, I'll go look into that!
Thanks!

I wanna see a dwarf using a great axe lol
ruby swift
The last info given is that weapons scale. There were threads similar over a year ago where people said they would just strap a Vek greatsword on a dwarf and they clarified that while the weapon may be massive on a "big" race, that it would be a toothpick on a "small" one. Works similar to you picking up elven armor as a dwarf, put it on and it becomes dwarven armor.
deft wadi
i was just looking in faq about the price of the game, and it says there is no "box cost" what does that mean?
ruby swift
That means you pay the $15 subscription monthly only.
No charge for the base game or dlc, ever.
While you are researching, also check out the referral system. You can actually play the game for no cost to you if you refer the right people.

torpid iron
How does race selection affect guilds as a whole?
slow meadow
@torpid iron doesn't particularly effect a guild. If the guild makes up the majority of a node then their race composition and how much they contribute will influence the look of the node, but I don't believe there are any direct impacts of race on guild.
torpid iron
Okay so I can play an elf no issue regardless of what the majority of whatever guild I may join is made up of?
fathom ocean
It does not affect the guild directly, but a node's appearance will be based on which race contributes the most, so if a particular guild wants a certain race to decide the appearance, they might look for members who play that specific race.
slow meadow
yes that should not be a problem mechanically in the game. as gaeleath pointed out guilds could have a "no Tulnar" policy but that is outside the actual mechanics of the game
torpid iron
Okay so unless a guild specifies in their posting. Thanks!
fathom ocean
Also, contributing to a node is open for everybody. So theres not really that much in the way of control. So your race shouldnt be an issue for any guild.
Maybe some RP guild who has a tiny node in the corner of the map.
robust spade
Will there be dungeons in a non-euclidian style? I recently came across this and I find it could make things very interesting.
uneven wave
With the collapse of Soul bound Studios and the closing of Chronicles of Elyria, has intrepid taken anything out of this for their own development?
Wait are you Jahlon from YouTube? Love your stuff. Anyways how long can it be fully funded by Steven? To be honest and Frank I also got burnt on COE, it leaves me a little worried about ashes. It might be an unfounded worry but I worry all the same
This is very reassuring thank you very much!
slow meadow
so from a funding standpoint they should be good for about 4-5 years, by the time you factor salaries, licensing, other overhead etc. Maybe 3-4 years if you want to be aggressive on costs
For me, personally, the other big difference between SBS and Intrepid is stuff like this. Not having producers was a huge risk. Owning that mistake and correcting it openly rather than hiding everything away shows growth and maturity in leadership that SBS and Caspian never really showed.
rustic relic
I honestly love Steven and the whole team he has hired so far. Everyone is great to talk to / hear from and they all seem to love their job and team.
Really excited to see ashes launch in a year or two here. I have very high hopes for Intrepid!
I'm glad they shifted focus over the last year cause it was a bit rocky for a bit there, but comments like the one above are why I don't lose the hype.
Waiting sucks, but all good things take time.

There have also been opportunities to win/earn cosmetics through APOC when it was up as well as giveaway opportunities. I would imagine there will be more of those throughout development as well.
castle siege testing is likely to have them as well I would think

Not realy a question to the dev team but more so a question to the community. To me the animations are clunky ish looking and almost kinda stiff when i compare it with most other games ( in its current state ) im curious. Whats your guys opinions. To me animations are everything. ( not bashing on it btw i know its not even in a1 atm just curious )
dark jungle
this is early look first pass animations
they will iterate several times and improve things as we get closer to release
crude beacon
I think it looks fine, but i have been told i have a really low bar
placid vessel
I agree, it looked very stiff and rushed.
Also, the missing legs on the lady riding the horse
crude beacon
I believe they should have time, even during alpha and beta, to fix any issues which come up, the most important thing is to get it out
placid vessel
How do they miss something like that?
dark jungle
We know there are still improvements to be made though. Again, this is early Alpha One, so keep that in mind.
ruby swift
@crimson bane Please remember that by release they mean the game after testing. You most likely will not see a dedicated OCE/SEA server for A1/A2/B1/B2, so temper your expectations accordingly.
candid lava
Do they have NPC just for quests and stuff or can you interact with NPCs to give them tasks like have them join you in battle etc...
ruby swift
There will be several questlines and npcs populating the world. They have not given details of what kind of quests and whether npcs will accompany you beyond saying they would like to stay away from the bog standard kill these 10 wolves and bring me their pelts. Escort quests might be part of the caravan system. Again, no details.
crude beacon
Hmm, will there be a "questline" with planned questgiving? Or will you be dumped into the world?
slow meadow
The questline will not be purely linear. There is a lot of content like what you would see in a traditional theme park mmo, but because of the node system and player actions effecting the world some aspects of the content will be locked/unlocked depending. So from server to server, dungeons, world bosses, questlines etc can be different, and will change over time.

Hmm. How are you guys preventing scope creep these days? I feel like that's part of the reason COE failed, they were trying to do too much

They have answered various questions on how they reduce scopecreep and staying on task. That being said they still have a huge amount of creation to do.
"When you say, what if I'm an Orc but want to look like an Elf and I want my Eagle set to be the Elf representation? Well the issue becomes there that you know Orcs have a different organic model. You know, their body is different than that of the Elf. So, from a scope-creep standpoint, it's one thing to add different influences that represent the cultures that are donning the armor; it's another thing to adapt each influence as a matrix that can be worn pretty much by everything. From a scope perspective, that's a very difficult task for the character artists to kind of tackle. So instead what we've done is, in order to facilitate a variety of cultural representation between the races but allow for the sharing of assets like different armor sets, we give different representations of those armor sets to each race.[60] โ Steven Sharif"
