I think the joy and wonder back in the gap of wow was when people sucked ass and a few people started to catch on.

smoky forum Jul 21, 2020, 1:54 PM

#

I’ve got a question during Asmongold’s livestream interview with Steven he said that there’s a friendship mechanic within a family system. Does this family system refers to encompass all social chats like friends, guild members and node citizen chat or is it something different?

#

Ok thank you for the answer

gleaming prism Jul 21, 2020, 1:55 PM

#

So I have a few questions about the Necromancer in AoC, some that seem to have been alluded to or hinted at based on previous questions, livestreams linked on the wiki, and the wiki itself, but I'd still wanted to ask if there's any more concrete info at this time regarding:

1.) How many summons will the necromancer be able to have out at once? I read on the wiki that the base summoner class is planned to be able to have ~3 at a time, is that all at once or 1-2 out at a time with a 3rd on a cooldown? Will the necromancer get an expanded summoning limit to fit with the 'Army of the Dead' theme, or stick to around that 3 minion limit?

2.) How long are the necromancer summons intended to last? 1 minute, 10, permanent until player/minion death? I'm sure I and many others would prefer permanent.

3.) Will necromancers be required/able to use corpses to raise their undead? And if so, will they be given a corpse-conjuring type of spell - say like desecrate from Path of Exile?

4.) What will the necromancer themselves be doing while their minions are piling on? Will it be more an active caster standing on the backlines, or more a support/debuff oriented role, empowering their minions and weakening enemies from afar like they should be?

patent briar Jul 21, 2020, 2:01 PM

#

did they talk about party/group xp sharing and stuff? , what's the main source of character xp? is it same old with the auto pilot questing or is it leaning to dungeons + grinding mobs in the open world and with also another factors?

quick moth Jul 21, 2020, 2:02 PM

#

can someone tell me where people respawn after they die in this game? So if I die, do i have to do a WoW meme and run back to my body as a ghost or do i spawn somewhere close by?

smoky merlin Jul 21, 2020, 2:03 PM

#

Why is everyone so hyped up and researching so much about a game they won't get to play for 2-3 years? Unless of course you're buying into the alpha tests ( OmegaLUL ). This is really confusing to me.

gleaming prism Jul 21, 2020, 2:03 PM

#

^ For me personally, necromancer is my hook. If that's good, that's a gateway to me enjoying and trying out everything else about the product

#

Aka more time, more money

azure birch Jul 21, 2020, 2:04 PM

#

@patent briar Many ways to level up your character, not just one. Questing will be a major part of it - however, not like auto pilot stuff you have in other MMOs.

#

@smoky merlin some people prefer to be part of the development process of a game and give feedback to try and "steer" the ship rather than just be quiet and wait to see if the devs can read their mind

crystal beacon Jul 21, 2020, 2:08 PM

#

will there be dps meters since addons wont be a thing

vestal pier Jul 21, 2020, 2:09 PM

#

@smoky merlin Lots of people are probably flocking over due to the Asmongold interview and Lazy Peons video on the game. Gotta spend our stimulus checks somehow 😛

humble widget Jul 21, 2020, 2:09 PM

#

@vestal pier get out of my mind

visual forge Jul 21, 2020, 2:10 PM

#

Will there be a UI personalisation option since there is no addons available ?

cosmic bluff Jul 21, 2020, 2:10 PM

#

Is the lack of addons a fixed decision / something that is still up for discussion (personally I really like this and hope it wont change, but am curious if it might be reverted)

dry flower Jul 21, 2020, 2:10 PM

#

@visual forge yes, very extensive

crystal beacon Jul 21, 2020, 2:10 PM

#

Understandable altho i would hate not having dps meters but thats on for debate

#

it has its bad sides.

visual forge Jul 21, 2020, 2:11 PM

#

@dry flower nice, thanks !

humble widget Jul 21, 2020, 2:11 PM

#

some of the classes on the list are super interesting. Like Brood Warden. I can only imagine what that will be.

quick bobcat Jul 21, 2020, 2:13 PM

#

Have there been thoughts on where servers will be / what servers or languages are being planned out after English? I'm not 100% up to date on the roadmap.

crystal beacon Jul 21, 2020, 2:14 PM

#

Do we know if combat will get polished before no nda alpha test since there will be a huge traction from big streamers, and for now its most underwhelming aspect of the game and many people might get turned off of it even tho its early in development ( obviously it will get polished before game launches i understand that )

#

Small overhaul of movement and some particles may contribute to paint better picture for alpha test

Is there an affiliate program?

#

If so how can I sign up for it?

dry flower Jul 21, 2020, 2:18 PM

#

yes, though it currently has some issues with EU accounts.
if you have yet to make an account, you could ask the eprson who referred you to give you their referral code

polar zephyr Jul 21, 2020, 2:18 PM

#

So we'll be able to costumize the way our hp bar / target hp bar looks within the game then i take it?

#

Its a pretty big deal tbh

crystal beacon Jul 21, 2020, 2:20 PM

#

is it tho, i am pretty sure they will optimise the look of UI to fit the game aesthetics and it doesn't really sound like a thing i would personally care about if it looks good originally

polar zephyr Jul 21, 2020, 2:21 PM

#

things like
-Scaling hp / power bar seperately.
-Target HP bar scaling.
-Action Bar Scale.
-Optional setting to get extra actionbars that you can set to hide invisible keys ( say you want to have 1 or 2 of your skills in the middle of the screen around the character to see the CD easier, just put it there without having to look down.

visual forge Jul 21, 2020, 2:22 PM

#

I mean if it looks good and you can personalise it even more in the way you want I'm completely up for it :)

crystal beacon Jul 21, 2020, 2:22 PM

#

oh UI scaling is fine yeah it will definitely be there

polar zephyr Jul 21, 2020, 2:22 PM

#

there isnt really a downside of having a extensive optional scaling system

keen light Jul 21, 2020, 2:22 PM

#

I might buy into Alpha 2

#

once we see more of Alpha 1

#

to answer your question Zombi3

polar zephyr Jul 21, 2020, 2:23 PM

#

thing is, im insanely used to having addons in WoW around my character so i dont look at my action bar, instead i've got things around my character model that show me if its on CD or not etc.

#

Would be nice to have that in a way.

stable plover Jul 21, 2020, 2:23 PM

#

@polar zephyr check out https://ashesofcreation.wiki/User_interface#UI_settings for the confirmed info

polar zephyr Jul 21, 2020, 2:23 PM

#

Checking

#

yeah so there isnt quite alot of optional things to the specific UI thins i asked about yet.

visual forge Jul 21, 2020, 2:27 PM

#

I mean they already spoke about that and I'm pretty agreeing on that too, the UI shouldn't give you informations that you normal have to look out yourself, for example cooldown or low life targeting etc...

polar zephyr Jul 21, 2020, 2:28 PM

#

Im not saying '' pop up when target is below 30% ''

flint lodge Jul 21, 2020, 2:28 PM

#

How do you know a skill will be back up without the cooldown?

polar zephyr Jul 21, 2020, 2:28 PM

#

more so the fact that alot of people look in the middle of their screen at their character, to avoid mechanics and see when a cast / attack is being done for example

#

so instead of just having your core abilities on the bottom of the action bar, it would be nice if you could decide to put them anywhere

flint lodge Jul 21, 2020, 2:29 PM

#

Yeah ok, and then you look down and look at your bar for the cooldowns

polar zephyr Jul 21, 2020, 2:29 PM

#

ill quickly give you a example

#

thats not really a fair answer Max.

#

'' just look down ''

flint lodge Jul 21, 2020, 2:29 PM

#

We're in the wrong channel btw ^^'

polar zephyr Jul 21, 2020, 2:30 PM

#

well its a chain reaction about a question i asked

vapid jackal Jul 21, 2020, 2:30 PM

#

Are there only specific beats one can tame, or is it nearly every beast like entity in the game?

crystal beacon Jul 21, 2020, 2:30 PM

#

You're just overly used to addons and weakauras probably i have no problem looking down in mmos that doesn't have addons its something u can get used to and memorize the more you play your character

polar zephyr Jul 21, 2020, 2:31 PM

#

Yep, is there a issue with having a optional thing to have skills show somewhere else in the screen besides the regular bottom actionbar though?

flint lodge Jul 21, 2020, 2:31 PM

#

I play FFXIV, cooldowns are big thing. I don't use addons but the UI does allow for you to see when you'll be able to use your skill again. But yeah. I look at where I put my bars with skills to see when.

stable plover Jul 21, 2020, 2:31 PM

#

@vapid jackal https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Taming -- No idea what % of creatures will be tamable, but it should be a fairly large number

vapid jackal Jul 21, 2020, 2:32 PM

#

thats sick

flint lodge Jul 21, 2020, 2:34 PM

#

@polar zephyr Maybe you'll be able to put your bar or an extra bar in a position closer to your character so you can keep track better. Depends on how much UI costumization they'll allow. My opinion, the cleaner the better. I would for example really want to get rid of the names over everyone's head. (I should probably read if that's a possibility)

polar zephyr Jul 21, 2020, 2:35 PM

#

thats what i was wondering about, yes.

#

if you could just turn on a extra actionbar

#

and hide unfilled spots

flint lodge Jul 21, 2020, 2:35 PM

#

Oh it literally says so in the link posted a little earlier

polar zephyr Jul 21, 2020, 2:35 PM

#

thats what i did in FFXIV when i played that

dapper sleet Jul 21, 2020, 2:37 PM

#

Is the word "Hate" going to be the meaning for "aggro" basically in the game?

polar zephyr Jul 21, 2020, 2:37 PM

#

https://gyazo.com/54e84fad54b5dff97478b49c2b386c68

#

kinda like that is what i mean

stable plover Jul 21, 2020, 2:38 PM

#

@dapper sleet Devs seem to have used both 'hate' and 'aggro' to describe the same thing

dapper sleet Jul 21, 2020, 2:38 PM

#

I see, well not too important just wondering coz reading some of the abilities on the wiki, cheerio!

polar zephyr Jul 21, 2020, 2:40 PM

#

@stable plover Final thing about the UI, if you have the answer, would what i just posted in the gyazo link be a possible thing to setup? the 2 skills in the middle being on a actionbar that hides empty slots and is clickthrough?

ripe crescent Jul 21, 2020, 2:41 PM

#

I think having to internally memorise when you've an used ability and being able to mechanically know when an ability is able to be used again is another level of skill for players to be able to work towards

hushed kelp Jul 21, 2020, 2:42 PM

#

ok so im looking on the wiki at the taverns for your taverns sign is it customizable or do you pick from a certain preset?

#

nice ty honestly i am really looking foward to running a tavern if i can

stable plover Jul 21, 2020, 2:45 PM

#

@polar zephyr I would personally like it if that's an appearance you can achieve for UI, Intrepid seems to want to allow that much customization, As Intrepids UI options go along, I'd recommend pointing that out to them as something you want (so it's not overlooked).

polar zephyr Jul 21, 2020, 2:45 PM

#

Yeah wasnt asking for this to be default, just something one could achieve if they so desired it.

#

ill find out where to recommend something like this and post it to them then, thanks

stable plover Jul 21, 2020, 2:47 PM

#

The forums are typically the best place to post design recommendations.

flat scaffold Jul 21, 2020, 2:47 PM

#

i want to ask two questions : - do they have a jail system ? was always fun on archeage - the monster coin option, would it be a good idea, for players actually play against other players in instance dungeon

visual forge Jul 21, 2020, 2:49 PM

#

Are theses monsters gain abilities and stats or they stay as they are?

#

Ok that can be fun xD

violet iris Jul 21, 2020, 2:51 PM

#

Has there been much shown on how the naval content will looks like?
Really like the idea of ship building and sailing things

#

aaah, good to know
will wait and see then 🙂

stable plover Jul 21, 2020, 2:52 PM

#

@violet iris I'd actually reccomend this Jahlon video https://youtu.be/MILBO85lCh0 to get an idea of what they're going for

violet iris Jul 21, 2020, 2:53 PM

#

ooh, good to know, will check that video out 😄

#

Oh, if ships are destroyed, are they recoverable or does a new one need to be built then?

main ridge Jul 21, 2020, 2:54 PM

#

Will in-node taverns be an in-node building that has to be built, or a pre-existing standalone non-instanced building?

hushed kelp Jul 21, 2020, 2:55 PM

#

i think it has to be built by someone with a certificate right?

#

at least in the towns

main ridge Jul 21, 2020, 2:56 PM

#

So all in-node taverns will be non-player taverns?

#

I see

flint lodge Jul 21, 2020, 2:56 PM

#

Do we know how resource management in combat works? As in, mana for casters and just cooldowns for fighters that sort of thing. Maybe even ammo capacity for rangers.

hushed kelp Jul 21, 2020, 2:57 PM

#

if i can put one in town i will taverns i mean

@plucky pawn

I have a player in my community who comes from Pakistan and I'm not sure if he is a member of the EU because he wants to play with us. He has unfortunately often made the experience that he is switched to Asian regions. Can you already say something about this?

polar zephyr Jul 21, 2020, 2:58 PM

#

How come when I have signed in on the official website, it sends me to the intrepid website and doesnt allow me to just go to the official website again without keeping me signed in?

hushed kelp Jul 21, 2020, 2:58 PM

#

i know it can be placed on your freehold but do you have to enable people to come and go freely on your freehold for them to access the tavern

patent hedge Jul 21, 2020, 2:58 PM

#

I know it’s probably been asked a lot and I saw where it says late fall for the first alpha test. Is there any new update on an official date or still just late fall for now?

flat scaffold Jul 21, 2020, 2:58 PM

please tell me we will have a glider system

polar zephyr Jul 21, 2020, 2:58 PM

@simple ether Is this only known from the Intrepid side or is it already certain that this would be the case with Mycom?

so i bought a package and got ember with it. can i use the ember to buy the skins in the following packages or is the ember only for the ingame shop later on?

Are theses gliding mounts permanent or decay as a flying mount?

hushed kelp Jul 21, 2020, 3:03 PM

#

ok so the two races that have Greco-Roman aesthetics what's the difference between the two aesthetics?

#

is one more roman than the other?

dry flower Jul 21, 2020, 3:04 PM

#

if you're talking about Kaelar and empyrean, one is a human subrace and the other an elven one

#

or you mean architecturally?

hushed kelp Jul 21, 2020, 3:05 PM

#

i know but it says that both have Greco roman so what differentiates them?

#

architect

round bridge Jul 21, 2020, 3:06 PM

Will there be any low level content (dungeons) not accessable to players above a certain level?
Like a dungeon that has max level of 30, not accesable to players above lvl 30.

@full flume all I can comment on is what was done in Apocalypse when it was up. Swing speed for the most part felt universal save for spears which stabbed. The 2h sword had an ability that increased swing speed though. not sure if that ability is going to the mmo though.

Will they add a specific skin for every minions of the summoner depending of the secondary class they use? (Necromancer use skeletons/zombies, broodwarden uses spiders...)

@chilly thicket hopefully next year

stable plover Jul 21, 2020, 3:32 PM

#

@edgy mountain Note there are other examples than the 4k one, some noteable ones - The time the devs went through 'The Rain Zone', the time the devs showed off the original BR map area with mobs to fight and NPCs, and you could find A0 footage to compare progress from A0 to pre-alpha 1

lean marlin Jul 21, 2020, 3:33 PM

@visual forge there might be other things you can put over the minions skin wise, I can't remember full details atm.

im thinking about doing falconer is the falcon a pet that attacks or a way to scout using its eyes through some feature?

stable plover Jul 21, 2020, 3:35 PM

#

@visual forge They also want summoner minions to essentially be adjustable in a character customization suite, so not all skeletons look the same

visual forge Jul 21, 2020, 3:36 PM

#

That is amazing, I wonder how their gameplay will end out :)

stable plover Jul 21, 2020, 3:37 PM

#

@hushed kelp We don't have details on the falconer specifically, I'd at least expect an attacking pet falcon, and Intrepid showed off scouting with a falcon in 'The Art of War' so seeing through it wouldn't be unreasonable.

hushed kelp Jul 21, 2020, 3:38 PM

#

ty seeing through its eyes would be brilliant for scouting out the defending node siege

#

use it during night time on the server and fly above the defensives to scout would be really cool

Do we know if we'll be able to preview augments before we make a choice on a secondary? I mean eventually people will have videos and stuff out on the full 64, but until then.. if it's a heavy deal to change your secondary, then it'd be nice to be able to see what it'd change.

@deft stone not that I am aware of. But the wiki will probably have it at some point.

stable plover Jul 21, 2020, 4:15 PM

#

@deft stone changing augments just requires going to an npc in lvl 3 node or higher, which is relatively easy to switch compared to changing sub-archetype, so I'd expect them to want you to play around with the augments a bit instead of say having an outright augment training area.

@austere vault Note that's not Intrepid's music per se, that music is licensed, Intrepid is having music created by Bear McCreary that we're expecting to hear about the time of Beta 1

So for the highest level of the pre-order pack, it says access to the alphas and beta's but then says 9 months of game time, how does that work?

@untold dawn Imagine a honeycomb pattern, 2 teir 4 nodes can't be next to each other, so around the teir 5 you could have 4-3-4-3-4-3 but not 4-4-4-4-4-4

Is it possible to upgrade your kickstarter backer pack by e.g backing 350$ from Founder (150$) to Braver of Worlds (500$) ?

stable plover Jul 21, 2020, 4:24 PM

#

@tacit pier The current 'Pre-Alpha 1' is only open to Royalty backers and higher at this moment, Next month it opens up to LoM, sometime after next month it opens up to Beavers, and then it opens up to the Intrepid pack holders sometime before the end of Fall near the end of the year.

#

@austere vault Yes, by paying the difference, you can do it through the Intrepid store if your logged in and have your KS connected properly. Intrepid eventually intends to end KS upgrades but we don't have a date for that yet.

Hello good people: I am really excited about that game, but i cant wait to ask questions about many things. And the first question if someone could answer me: Will there be elemental golems and summons in general with different typing in the game as summons ?

animals, undead, spirits etc

stable plover Jul 21, 2020, 4:41 PM

@rough meadow There will at least be summoner golems - not quite sure on the elemental part, There will be different types of summons depending on secondary archetype (class), and the race of the summoner

@main ridge Your characters aren't meant to be able to be recognized as belonging to the same account by casual outside observers (if they see all your characters going to the same freehold they might get suspicious), Steven likes the idea of being able to infiltrate other player groups.

stable plover Jul 21, 2020, 4:46 PM

#

@wicked moon We havn't heard anything about the exact cost of potential future A1 sales - If they wanted to go back to the original price of 500 they'd allow voyager+ upgrades by paying the difference - if they don't open A1 sales until near the end of Alpha 1 maybe they'd reduce the cost or something (no telling ;p )

gotcha, thank you very much

stable plover Jul 21, 2020, 4:46 PM

@eternal pilot you can upgrade through the Intrepid store by paying the difference between your pack and the one you want - for now, at some point in the future they intend to close the KS upgrades

Will there be incentives to stop people from just joining the largest nodes? And how will people be able to compete with for example a full (if there is a max) node?

eternal pilot Jul 21, 2020, 4:48 PM

#

the list seems quite different, like i dont see Braver, only "voyager plus"

stable plover Jul 21, 2020, 4:50 PM

#

@cursive rover The cost of housing increases in the node with each additional owner, and you need housing to join a node as a citizen. Some people will also be drawn to smaller nodes to get in node housing or freehold spots as opposed to instanced apartment housing. Some people will just like a certain area and decide to live there regardless of node size (perhaps because it's between two large nodes that they want to travel between) - Nodes don't 'Fill' per se as long as it has apartments, just scales in price.

#

@eternal pilot Make sure your KS is connected and your logged in

@stable plover where do you link your ks account?

stable plover Jul 21, 2020, 4:52 PM

@red pendant Guilds have hard max size caps of 300 players, smaller guilds can get access to some perks that the large guilds don't have (Say reduced cost of maintaining guild hall), alliances have a cap to max number of guilds within them

@torpid tangle Guilds aren't meant to be hard to start, exact early economy info isn't super known though

@rough meadow They do reveal the cosmetics for the next month before the rotation takes place, I'd in general recommend waiting for a month you like. If you like a low tier cosmetic you can get some mix and matching by upgrading in future months (you keep the original low tier cosmetic, and get only the high tier cosmetics of the new pack)

@torpid tangle @simple ether The 50G in the test was given to everyone on every login as part of the test. It was part of the problem that led to some serious duping and shop exploits being found in the first test. Everything had a standard cost. None of them reflected values that will be present in the further testing. Just like the loot was disabled to only give essences (cept where they missed some mobs that we found). Do not think that anything seen in the video is an indicator of future costs unless directly stated by Intrepid.

Perfect, that gives me more time to selfishly riddle you with inquiries.

I'm on the Ashes101 classes/archetypes page, and i'm trying to learn about the classes. I'm wondering if clerics will have anything intrinsically to do with the churches. Would we have access to more religious quests for a node, for instance, if our primary archetype is cleric? Or would both a fighter or tank have equal opportunities there?

patent hedge Jul 21, 2020, 5:20 PM

So how long roughly do we have, to buy the said packs now, to get into the A2 testing?

I'd assume the main reason for A1's heavy limit on participation is server based. They're trying to test out very basic functions before bringing in the masses to ensure the foundation is stable.

I mean, practicality-wise, swords are king. As someone who uses weapons IRL, and has trained with them from childhood. You really can't beat a sword's versatility and efficiency. But in fantasy, I wanna see them aaaxxxeeeesss.

polar zephyr Jul 21, 2020, 5:27 PM

#

@woven vale yeah i know you can have that equipped, but will it automaticly swap to that whenever youre at the requirement for it is more-so the question

woven vale Jul 21, 2020, 5:27 PM

#

@polar zephyr I think its like eso where you press a button to swap but idk

Greatswords are just about the coolest thing to exist

cuz there is a option to weapon swap with a CD when not hit / dealt damage for a few seconds, wondering why that would be there then

Hey all! Last time I installed the launcher was in 2018 and with all the news decided to update 2 years later. My launcher isn't working so I've uninstalled, where can I install the newest launcher?

woven vale Jul 21, 2020, 5:28 PM

#

@sleek cloud I'd argue Spears reign supreme in most cases, while maybe not 1 on 1, it takes little training to use, and is cheap to make.

sleek cloud Jul 21, 2020, 5:28 PM

#

@sacred tangle You are factually incorrect, or have never encountered a Great Axe.

woven vale Jul 21, 2020, 5:28 PM

@coarse phoenix no new launcher available

Another big question, how are daggers being held in this game

#

it better be backhand

sacred tangle Jul 21, 2020, 5:28 PM

#

I imagine it depends

sleek cloud Jul 21, 2020, 5:28 PM

#

@woven vale Spears for the Masses, Swords for the trained, and Axes for the best.

polar zephyr Jul 21, 2020, 5:29 PM

#

I hate how daggers are used as swords in lots of MMO's 😦

#

daggers are supposed to be backhand wielded

coarse phoenix Jul 21, 2020, 5:29 PM

#

So is the email I have from back when with the link to the launcher just down because they took servers down and i'll be able to use that once theyre back up @boreal abyss ?

boreal abyss Jul 21, 2020, 5:29 PM

#

@coarse phoenix most likely not as that was APOC

woven vale Jul 21, 2020, 5:29 PM

#

@sleek cloud Sounds right, though I'd say the Zweihander reigns supreme once heavy armor was made very available for the elite, even taking crossbow bolts.

#

And refined.

worthy thorn Jul 21, 2020, 5:29 PM

till when is voyager plus pack available?

boreal abyss Jul 21, 2020, 5:30 PM

@worthy thorn they will let us know if they ever plan to stop selling

Okay, tyvm for the info!

Jahlon, I would like to know the exact location of the materials for the strongest meta great axe so that I can develop the nodes at launch and get it asap. 😄

@worthy thorn however you will be amongst the last ones getting to reserve

Okay, so the metropolitan node buff for science and economy nodes was already revealed, do we have news on the divine and military ones?

Hey i was wondering how the corruption mechanic would work with really bursty/one shot classes e.g. a mage or rogue kills someone before they can even react or fight back, would that make the player corrupt?

#

Devs want TTK to take a bit

woven vale Jul 21, 2020, 5:34 PM

@wise hare so "insta kills" wont be a thing

unless a group of assassins group up on 1 guy blobshrug

wise hare Jul 21, 2020, 5:35 PM

alright

woven vale Jul 21, 2020, 5:35 PM

@boreal abyss A guild of 50 assassins all dog pile 1 guy

That would be funny, amazing, and infuriating

Yep, my bad.

sleek cloud Jul 21, 2020, 5:37 PM

#

Okay. Marriage mechanic. Has there been an announcement on how to make it happen? What node stage is it available, etc?

#

Fair enough

#

Do we know the general idea for the basic active skills of the eight primary archetypes? I'm most interested in fighter, cleric, and tank.

frank reef Jul 21, 2020, 5:39 PM

For the free covid19 statue, do you just need an account created, or need to pre order a package by sept?

worthy thorn Jul 21, 2020, 5:41 PM

#

lets say im a new late player, and id like to develop a node to metropolis. Would that mean that id have to take on a big guild that allready has one, destroy theirs and build my own on it?

#

or are the nodes that are developed just developed and no changes

sacred tangle Jul 21, 2020, 5:41 PM

#

individual players can't develop nodes, for one

sleek cloud Jul 21, 2020, 5:41 PM

#

Not just one guild. A metropolis is huge, my dude. There's gonna be dozens of guilds and alliances invested in it.

worthy thorn Jul 21, 2020, 5:42 PM

#

but there is one main guild owning it or am i wrong?

boreal abyss Jul 21, 2020, 5:42 PM

#

not nodes no

sacred tangle Jul 21, 2020, 5:42 PM

#

guilds are castles, not nodes

boreal abyss Jul 21, 2020, 5:42 PM

#

that is castles

sleek cloud Jul 21, 2020, 5:42 PM

#

Wrong, that's a Castle

worthy thorn Jul 21, 2020, 5:42 PM

#

ohhh

sleek cloud Jul 21, 2020, 5:43 PM

#

A guild/alliance might TRY to monopolize a node's control, but it will take a lot of work and dedication.

frank reef Jul 21, 2020, 5:43 PM

where is the game now? as far as alpha 1/2, beta 1/2

boreal abyss Jul 21, 2020, 5:43 PM

#

but whatabout the node development tho? i remembered a video that said if dwarfs occupied that node that it would become a dwarf style node, what if u want to change that?

woven vale Jul 21, 2020, 5:43 PM

#

@frank reef Alpha 1 no nda in fall

boreal abyss Jul 21, 2020, 5:44 PM

#

@worthy thorn architecture of a node depends on which race contributed most to its growth

sleek cloud Jul 21, 2020, 5:44 PM

#

Oni, you gotta tear the city down if you want to rebuild it

boreal abyss Jul 21, 2020, 5:44 PM

#

so it can change at every stage up

woven vale Jul 21, 2020, 5:44 PM

#

@worthy thorn Each time a node lvls up the race that put the most xp into it will be the style of the node

worthy thorn Jul 21, 2020, 5:44 PM

#

hmm okok

#

and you gotta tear it down if u wanna change that

#

thats interesting

woven vale Jul 21, 2020, 5:44 PM

#

Or lvl it up

#

Again

sacred tangle Jul 21, 2020, 5:44 PM

#

once it's built to a metropolis level yes

sleek cloud Jul 21, 2020, 5:44 PM

#

He was asking about a metropolis if i'm not mistaken

boreal abyss Jul 21, 2020, 5:45 PM

#

if its a Stage 6 node, tear down yes
if its lower, no, stage up gives a new chance

worthy thorn Jul 21, 2020, 5:45 PM

#

ah ok i understand

boreal abyss Jul 21, 2020, 5:45 PM

#

do note that

#

for every say.. Elf city that exist

young flint Jul 21, 2020, 5:45 PM

#

Hey i saw that the game derives from all sorts of sources, namely archeage. Will the fishing gathering system be heavily inspired by archeage or will there be a different system?

boreal abyss Jul 21, 2020, 5:45 PM

#

the XP required will go up

#

for another node to take elf looks

worthy thorn Jul 21, 2020, 5:45 PM

#

what about mayors tho? i remember that only a few players can have the flying mounts

wraith elbow Jul 21, 2020, 5:46 PM

So how do I get to play this?

worthy thorn Jul 21, 2020, 5:46 PM

are those the castle owners?

sacred tangle Jul 21, 2020, 5:46 PM

#

wait @wraith elbow

boreal abyss Jul 21, 2020, 5:46 PM

wait, or buy beta/alpha access and wait less

#

@worthy thorn both

#

5 mayors, 5 castle owners, total of 10

#

Right. How do I get in on the beta?

polar zephyr Jul 21, 2020, 5:46 PM

#

@simple ether cant seem to find any wiki page with weapon glows btw

boreal abyss Jul 21, 2020, 5:46 PM

#

buy access

#

Beta 2 - 75$
Beta 1 - 150$

worthy thorn Jul 21, 2020, 5:46 PM

#

how do u become one or the other?

sleek cloud Jul 21, 2020, 5:46 PM

#

Oni, 5 mayors, and 5 kings/queens will get flying mounts. The kings/queens rule one castle each, and the mayors are in charge of one metropolis each.

boreal abyss Jul 21, 2020, 5:47 PM

#

Castle - Guild leader whos guild has taken control

#

Metro - Be elected Mayor (4 different ways, 1 per node type)

young flint Jul 21, 2020, 5:47 PM

#

@simple ether is there more info on that or is that all you can say?

worthy thorn Jul 21, 2020, 5:47 PM

#

damn this game is in depth

i heard someone saying the preorder bonuses change frequently, is that true?

boreal abyss Jul 21, 2020, 5:48 PM

#

they change usually every month

sleek cloud Jul 21, 2020, 5:48 PM

#

Outside of those guaranteed flying mounts, you can also get drops from world bosses, but those mounts looted will have a lifespan, and die.

polar zephyr Jul 21, 2020, 5:48 PM

#

ehh i kinda ment a differrent kind of glow 😛

#

not a slight sparkle

wraith elbow Jul 21, 2020, 5:48 PM

#

I want to get in on the beta. I go to the ashes website and go to the shop, the only thing there are items. How do I get access to the game?

#

Ahh okay thank you

#

thanks for anwsering my questions :>

wraith elbow Jul 21, 2020, 5:49 PM

#

What’s the difference?

young flint Jul 21, 2020, 5:49 PM

#

ok thanks man, i know its not the most popular thing but i really enjoyed archeage fishing mechanics out of any mmo ive played so im hyped for real if ashes does the same.

sacred tangle Jul 21, 2020, 5:49 PM

How late in development

boreal abyss Jul 21, 2020, 5:49 PM

Beta 2 - last*

#

@simple ether https://gyazo.com/03f585e5b7798d0e9011be90fcbb1bb8 things like that is kinda what i ment

sleek cloud Jul 21, 2020, 5:49 PM

#

@polar zephyr The creative lead Steven has said multiple times that they're not super big on heavily glowy/flashy gaudy visual effects. There may be some, but I wouldn't expect a wide variety

sacred tangle Jul 21, 2020, 5:49 PM

#

Alpha one will be soon, alpha two is assumed to be next year, beta one will be after that and beta two will be last @wraith elbow

polar zephyr Jul 21, 2020, 5:50 PM

#

aw, unluck

wraith elbow Jul 21, 2020, 5:50 PM

#

So beta one means access sooner?

boreal abyss Jul 21, 2020, 5:50 PM

#

Yes

sacred tangle Jul 21, 2020, 5:50 PM

#

alpha two is the soonest

wraith elbow Jul 21, 2020, 5:50 PM

#

Got it

sacred tangle Jul 21, 2020, 5:50 PM

#

alpha one is currently unobtainable

polar zephyr Jul 21, 2020, 5:51 PM

#

how is the loot gonna be in this game btw? personal loot or?

sacred tangle Jul 21, 2020, 5:51 PM

#

Multiple loot systems

ruby swift Jul 21, 2020, 5:51 PM

#

No personal loot

boreal abyss Jul 21, 2020, 5:51 PM

#

Shared loot

sleek cloud Jul 21, 2020, 5:51 PM

#

Even Legendary Items were stated to be something that would be visibly impressive, but not be flashy enough to be a big distraction. They're not meant to detract from the area around them, but rather accentuate the wielder.

sacred tangle Jul 21, 2020, 5:51 PM

#

Round robin, master loot, need before greed and GDKP are all in the works

polar zephyr Jul 21, 2020, 5:51 PM

#

so pugging will be scary then

boreal abyss Jul 21, 2020, 5:52 PM

#

Depending, yes
However there is a "Bid system" they plan as one distribution method where everyone bids for an item, and the gold is split between everyone else

sacred tangle Jul 21, 2020, 5:52 PM

#

Round robin is probably your best bet for pugging

sleek cloud Jul 21, 2020, 5:52 PM

#

Or just don't Pug. 😄

boreal abyss Jul 21, 2020, 5:52 PM

#

Also remember that in a game like this, reputation matter 😛

autumn bane Jul 21, 2020, 5:52 PM

#

Will there be cosmetical/real rewards for achieving the highest lvl in a proffesion. Like it is in runescape were you get the 99 and 120 cape?
also what is it that a bard does?

sleek cloud Jul 21, 2020, 5:52 PM

#

Join the order. One of us. One of us.

boreal abyss Jul 21, 2020, 5:53 PM

#

We do not know @autumn bane
have never heard of it afaik

polar zephyr Jul 21, 2020, 5:53 PM

#

round robin would just mean if a certain boss drops something of crazy value ppl save their roll till then.

sacred tangle Jul 21, 2020, 5:53 PM

#

that's not what round robin is to my understanding

boreal abyss Jul 21, 2020, 5:53 PM

#

also @autumn bane bard is Support type

#

what they specifically do we do not know

oblique scarab Jul 21, 2020, 5:54 PM

@eager gull tarvern games already is a thing

sleek cloud Jul 21, 2020, 5:54 PM

there will be tavern games

polar zephyr Jul 21, 2020, 5:54 PM

@hushed kelp ohh thats good

i want to own a tavern honestly just to meet a ton of players and serve them booze and food ingame

eager gull Jul 21, 2020, 5:56 PM

sacred tangle Jul 21, 2020, 5:56 PM

#

you can do that @hushed kelp

eager gull Jul 21, 2020, 5:56 PM

#

Expect the player housing7

boreal abyss Jul 21, 2020, 5:56 PM

mayors dont own a thing

#

they run a city

#

they can control parts of it

#

but they dont own anything

sleek cloud Jul 21, 2020, 5:56 PM

#

@hushed kelp Completely possible with your Freehold. Just set up near a common travel road, and make a tavern for people to see as they travel down the road.

hushed kelp Jul 21, 2020, 5:57 PM

#

you can as a owner rent rooms serve food and booze and give players quest among other things

eager gull Jul 21, 2020, 5:57 PM

#

So the apartments and black smith and thw tavern are all owned by the citizens of the town?

sacred tangle Jul 21, 2020, 5:57 PM

#

ye

hushed kelp Jul 21, 2020, 5:57 PM

#

i will be making a tavern once i have the gold once its live

sleek cloud Jul 21, 2020, 5:57 PM

#

No player owns any building other than their purchased housing. Everything else is unowned, and won't ever be owned.

boreal abyss Jul 21, 2020, 5:58 PM

#

Mayor can for instance not take the tax income, but he can allocate that to different things in the city

eager gull Jul 21, 2020, 5:58 PM

#

So you buying a tavern is not a thing 😔

sleek cloud Jul 21, 2020, 5:58 PM

#

Making one on your own land is

boreal abyss Jul 21, 2020, 5:58 PM

#

you can turn you freehold to a tavern/inn

hushed kelp Jul 21, 2020, 5:58 PM

#

honestly i love the idea of owning a tavern and talking to people through my taverns public and private chat channels

eager gull Jul 21, 2020, 5:59 PM

#

Yeah if there is a system that makes you buy the apartments and taverns and blacksmith from the mayor, it would be good

sleek cloud Jul 21, 2020, 5:59 PM

#

No

If you want cosmetics from a future PO pack, will it be full price to buy them?

Make them yourself on your own land

hushed kelp Jul 21, 2020, 5:59 PM

#

@eager gull you can own a tavern on a freehold plus im pretty sure if you have one you can make quite a bit of coin off it

#

due to palor games room renting and serving food and booze

eager gull Jul 21, 2020, 6:00 PM

#

@hushed kelp yes but you need to build your nodes from thw start

hushed kelp Jul 21, 2020, 6:00 PM

#

i know

#

also you can get certain food recipes to sell

eager gull Jul 21, 2020, 6:01 PM

#

I am just hoping that they will be an option for the mayor to hand the tavern as a gift or sell it to them

#

And of course there will be taxes and all pther things

#

But the servers are too small for this thing to work

hushed kelp Jul 21, 2020, 6:02 PM

#

ohhh no it will be 8-10k players per server

#

and the maps 480 square kilometers

eager gull Jul 21, 2020, 6:02 PM

Yes

#

The map and the server is too small

Will there be an incentive for gatherers to be brought to dungeons, parties, raids, etc. in order to gather rare materials from creatures/nodes?

hushed kelp Jul 21, 2020, 6:05 PM

#

it will take at least a month just doing a regular mount to reach corner to corner

boreal abyss Jul 21, 2020, 6:05 PM

#

@flat scaffold there might be a "order system" where your payment is held by the server until crafter fulfills his end of the deal

#

but specifics are unknown

torpid lance Jul 21, 2020, 6:05 PM

#

There are four spawns for Humans, Orcs, Elves, Dwarves. But what about the Underground Race. What would be thr best place to start for them?

hushed kelp Jul 21, 2020, 6:06 PM

umm it will take at least a year to fully map out then

@simple ether so i am wrong about the map but this support my request of larger server capacity

that map is 16x11

#

thats 176 sq km

boreal abyss Jul 21, 2020, 6:08 PM

#

@eager gull they will try to increase server capacity but it all depends on tech and infrastructure/code efficiency

stable plover Jul 21, 2020, 6:08 PM

#

@broken lodge The map doesn't necessarily go to the corner, but the quotes on size are on 'playable area' not 'map display area', so the squares could need to be slightly smaller or something depending

eager gull Jul 21, 2020, 6:08 PM

#

If this game turns out the way it is then its easy 1M player, so with only 10k per server, how many servers are there?

broken lodge Jul 21, 2020, 6:08 PM

#

yea, the squares are too big

split bay Jul 21, 2020, 6:08 PM

Will there be any sort of puzzle dungeons/areas where you need to find and interact with objects, dodge obstacles, avoid traps, find the right path e.t.c? (something like Guild Wars 2 jumping puzzles? )

broken lodge Jul 21, 2020, 6:08 PM

assuming it takes up the entire map, u have 176 sq km right there

there is ship building so you can do mass trade routes and take on underwater bosses

#

whats the difference between an artisan you have mastered vs one you haven't?

dark jungle Jul 21, 2020, 6:27 PM

#

probably unlocking some of their top tier talents

#

the ones that require you to have most of that talent tree filled out before you can get to them

#

that is my assumption based on what was said, no hard info on the trees yet tho

frail solar Jul 21, 2020, 6:28 PM

#

ah ok. thanks!

paper drum Jul 21, 2020, 6:29 PM

#

Artisan is the max rank of a profession and I believe you can only have 1 Profession at Artisan rank. @lavish fiber

#

Not sure how many total professions you can have though.

boreal abyss Jul 21, 2020, 6:29 PM

#

You can Master 1 section of crafting
Gathering, Processing or Crafting

#

over time, maybe all professions within one section

paper drum Jul 21, 2020, 6:29 PM

#

Oh, so you master a branch more than a sub-skill in said branch?

boreal abyss Jul 21, 2020, 6:30 PM

#

but it will take a loooooooooong time to master more than 1 profession inside one category

paper drum Jul 21, 2020, 6:30 PM

#

So Gathering Artisan = All gathers, no just "Wood"

boreal abyss Jul 21, 2020, 6:30 PM

#

that is what the yhave told us yes

#

(over time)

#

master 1 branch first

#

then can pick a 2nd one

paper drum Jul 21, 2020, 6:30 PM

#

Oh, noice. I thought it was more specialized than even that.

boreal abyss Jul 21, 2020, 6:30 PM

#

sadly not

wide garden Jul 21, 2020, 6:31 PM

#

How will the housing editor work? Wildstar offered customization on a level no other MMO has offered, working like a game editor tool (could move items in any direction) But games like FFXIV for exampe are incredibly limited and players have to resort to hours of glitching to edit their houses.

boreal abyss Jul 21, 2020, 6:31 PM

#

Unknown, not seen any of that system, but free placement afaik

dark jungle Jul 21, 2020, 6:31 PM

#

there are 3 trees, one for each artisan type: Gathering, Processing, Crafting
each of the 3 trees has branches leading to specific professions, such as lumberjacking inside gathering for example.
speculation: at the top of each tree you might have a mastery skill that you can only reach if you have invested most of your points in that tree, which is why you can only master one of the three trees

wide garden Jul 21, 2020, 6:32 PM

#

@simple ether so you will be limited to like placing items within like a grid system and not able to edit walls and doors etc?

sacred tangle Jul 21, 2020, 6:33 PM

#

We dont really have any details on the specifics

boreal abyss Jul 21, 2020, 6:33 PM

so i can max out weapon smithing and then armour smithing, but i wont be able to max out mining?

boreal abyss Jul 21, 2020, 6:35 PM

#

in essence yes

frail solar Jul 21, 2020, 6:35 PM

#

riiiight. and does maxing a profession maxed out affect what you can craft at all or the quality of it?

dark jungle Jul 21, 2020, 6:36 PM

#

yes

boreal abyss Jul 21, 2020, 6:36 PM

#

mastering a craft will give you the most options about it, but specifics are not known

dark jungle Jul 21, 2020, 6:36 PM

#

maxing out means you can get better tools to gather, better buildings to process or better recipies to craft

boreal abyss Jul 21, 2020, 6:36 PM

#

or more options when it comes to specifying stats for gear you craft

dark jungle Jul 21, 2020, 6:36 PM

#

only the maxed out professions will allow you to for example craft the best gear or gather the best resources

#

yep

#

doesnt mean you cant gather, process or craft if you arent maxed out, just means you wont be able to be a master

proper grove Jul 21, 2020, 6:37 PM

#

planning to max out scribing because it seems like one that very few people will max out

#

no clue what it does though

frail solar Jul 21, 2020, 6:38 PM

#

and im assuming that maxed gathering lets you get rarer materials and maxed out processing lets you process rarer materials?

dark jungle Jul 21, 2020, 6:38 PM

#

yes

#

that has been confirmed

#

if you are a master artisan you will be in high demand in your guild and on the server in general i would imagine, as it wont be easy to do

#

Q: and one more thing that i am a bit curious about. There are only player made nodes right? So there wont really be any important NPC's that stories can be built around?

ruby swift Jul 21, 2020, 7:01 PM

#

There are also static pois inthe world

#

and an overarching narrative that will take you all over the map

lusty shore Jul 21, 2020, 7:01 PM

#

The NPCs will show up in the city developed by the players

lapis sinew Jul 21, 2020, 7:02 PM

#

Q: What is the thought process behind a non combatant dropping raw materials even more than if he fought back. I would think if you dont fight back you are doing that because you dont want worry about losing your stuff like if you're out gathering.

ruby swift Jul 21, 2020, 7:02 PM

#

It is meant to incentivize fighting back.

lusty shore Jul 21, 2020, 7:02 PM

#

Incentivises mutual combat.

main ridge Jul 21, 2020, 7:02 PM

#

If you don't fight back it penalizes the attacker more. If you do, it penalizes the attacker less, but you also lose less.

unkempt oxide Jul 21, 2020, 7:02 PM

#

It incentivized consensual PVP

visual locust Jul 21, 2020, 7:03 PM

#

Alright, so that would mean that some NPC's can show up in different developed nodes, lets say for example, George the mighty can show up in a node, but also in a different node if another one is developed?

stable plover Jul 21, 2020, 7:03 PM

#

@visual locust There will also be the starting castles, with nodes seperate from the normal node system, populated by an npc faction at the start

ruby swift Jul 21, 2020, 7:03 PM

#

Yep, gives you a reason to travel. To find a node that poor George is hanging out in currently.

last sparrow Jul 21, 2020, 7:03 PM

#

Adding on Q: What if you get killed before you get a chance to fight back?

visual locust Jul 21, 2020, 7:04 PM

#

Alright got it, i love characters in these big games that have stories around them. Makes things feel alive and really like investegating into the little mysteries

lapis sinew Jul 21, 2020, 7:04 PM

#

Ok. But say you're clearly out geared therefore you dont see a point in retaliating but you still get penalized that seems unfair in that scenario

ruby swift Jul 21, 2020, 7:04 PM

#

They are building combat with a longer TTK. Most people will not get to one shot people. And anyone who one shots someone much lower in level than them is going to be in for a bad time.

worn elk Jul 21, 2020, 7:05 PM

I know this is super unlikey and probably not worth answering but by chance are cuttlefish in this game?

@last sparrow If you were never a combatant to begin with the other player gets corruption, you drop a portion of your raw materials that they get, you get some xp debt, they get more xp debt whenever they eventually die, they get nerfed a bit in future pvp scaling with corruption level, bounty hunters can go after them, and the corrupt player can drop actual equipped gear with chance scaling with corruption instead of just materials.

Yo dudes, im very hyped for this game, but i wanted to know, is picking one of the 6 religions mandatory in the game or can you choose to not have a belief? i have pure ocd so certain themes mess with me mentally and might have to give it a skip if thats the case sadly.

@stable plover Will the nerf affecting corrupted players apply towards bounty hunter players? Meaning, corrupted players with the nerf will also deal less damage to hunters too?

Yes, it is an overall stat nerf till worked off.

@simple ether does AoC have content creator apps or a program?

stable plover Jul 21, 2020, 7:09 PM

@main ridge I think they recently adjusted the plan to the nerf not applying against bounty hunters, GL in that cat and mouse game ;p -- Details of that in particular will prob depend on how testing goes

stable plover Jul 21, 2020, 7:12 PM

@lapis sinew Corruption is meant to fill the difference in levels (don't go deliberately attacking higher level players), higher level players get much more corruption *killing low level players

fading ice Jul 21, 2020, 7:13 PM

#

Hi, just a question. Will there be any form of evil factions and such? Or is this game largely a good guy themed one for players.

stable plover Jul 21, 2020, 7:13 PM

@fading ice There's some sort of way for corrupt players to follow the evil gods

fading ice Jul 21, 2020, 7:13 PM

Interesting, is there any more info about it?

boreal abyss Jul 21, 2020, 7:14 PM

#

No

lapis sinew Jul 21, 2020, 7:15 PM

#

Q: Ok. I understand there is no set number values but about how much would a level 20 have to die until they have a chance against a level 30 or does the corruption gain increase depending on the level discrepancy.

surreal trellis Jul 21, 2020, 7:15 PM

#

Hello, a question. Are there still more races to come?

lapis sinew Jul 21, 2020, 7:15 PM

#

Roughly just trying to understand the goal.

surreal trellis Jul 21, 2020, 7:16 PM

#

For example, races like minotaur, and the sort.

lusty shore Jul 21, 2020, 7:16 PM

#

@surreal trellis is 9 not enough? 😂

surreal trellis Jul 21, 2020, 7:16 PM

#

I do like playing minotaur races and the sort. Just asking my man.

ebon star Jul 21, 2020, 7:16 PM

#

Tulnar is probably what you are looking for with the more beastlike race. Currently 9 races will be available at launch

surreal trellis Jul 21, 2020, 7:17 PM

#

Ah, alright. Thanks for the information my dude.

#

I was trying to find all the races, and their images, so didn't see that one.

#

Understandable.

#

But, from the sillhoutes, they look nice.

manic current Jul 21, 2020, 7:20 PM

#

how long do you think it'll be until this game releases?

surreal trellis Jul 21, 2020, 7:20 PM

#

2021

#

From what I've heard

runic perch Jul 21, 2020, 7:20 PM

#

Does anyone know if your characters appearance will be altered when you choose your secondary class?

eternal palm Jul 21, 2020, 7:20 PM

#

How does the name reserve work? Do you save it for every server? Do you get to just create your character early?

stable plover Jul 21, 2020, 7:20 PM

#

@lapis sinew I'm just gonna go with we don't have the math on corruption yet, I started doing it with made up numbers and it started getting ridiculous 😛 - Players get more corruption the larger the level difference is exponentially

turbid wave Jul 21, 2020, 7:21 PM

#

when it comes to names. will you be able to have 2 word names with capitals?

ruby swift Jul 21, 2020, 7:21 PM

#

3 characters is minimum

azure birch Jul 21, 2020, 7:21 PM

#

Nope. Whoever told you 2021 was guessing. No official release date yet. Tho many of us agree on at least 2022

surreal trellis Jul 21, 2020, 7:21 PM

#

Oh, makes sense.

tulip hatch Jul 21, 2020, 7:21 PM

#

There is an optional surname

manic current Jul 21, 2020, 7:22 PM

#

when do you think beta will be?

turbid wave Jul 21, 2020, 7:22 PM

#

ohh that's nice

ruby swift Jul 21, 2020, 7:22 PM

#

After alpha

azure birch Jul 21, 2020, 7:22 PM

#

late 2021..maybe. It is pure speculation

surreal trellis Jul 21, 2020, 7:22 PM

#

With games like this

#

You never know

azure birch Jul 21, 2020, 7:22 PM

#

oui

surreal trellis Jul 21, 2020, 7:22 PM

#

It might take a bit longer, it might take a bit less

#

But all it matters is, to get it done right.

runic perch Jul 21, 2020, 7:23 PM

As long as when it comes out its good they can take as much time as is needed

viral steppe Jul 21, 2020, 7:23 PM

#

Will currency have a weight to it? And will there be any form of safe storage in a node or is everything always in possible danger?

autumn pike Jul 21, 2020, 7:23 PM

#

I purchased the voyager package, how do I get access to the game?

runic perch Jul 21, 2020, 7:23 PM

#

Currency does have a lot of weight

red pendant Jul 21, 2020, 7:24 PM

#

Regarding corruption system: if a non-combatant is attacked by another non-combatant (who then becomes combatant), but the defending non-combatant wins the fight, do they become a combatant, or do they remain non-combatant? (i.e., does defending yourself trigger the corruption system against you?)

tulip hatch Jul 21, 2020, 7:24 PM

#

Game currency does not have weight

ruby swift Jul 21, 2020, 7:24 PM

#

Currency has NO weight. Confirmed long ago.

lapis sinew Jul 21, 2020, 7:24 PM

#

Q. Ok thank you last question sorry for so many. Is there a set percentage of the amount a non combatant loses raw materials. And from what I understand it would be hard to camp someone cause you dont respawn on top of your body its just close by is that correct?

runic perch Jul 21, 2020, 7:24 PM

#

Also you have a storage at your home in a node but a portion of those items can be lost if the place is sieged

ruby swift Jul 21, 2020, 7:25 PM

#

There are set respawn points in the node. If you die you respawn at the closest one. If you die corrupted your respawn is random

runic perch Jul 21, 2020, 7:25 PM

#

@simple ether thanks

tulip hatch Jul 21, 2020, 7:25 PM

#

@autumn pike Voyager provides Alpha 2 access which is not available yet, when your time to test comes youll receive an email with additional information.

stable plover Jul 21, 2020, 7:25 PM

#

@red pendant If the defending non-combatant wins the fight, it means they fought back and became a combatant

true halo Jul 21, 2020, 7:25 PM

#

Always the same questions or not at all since LazyPeon video ?

viral steppe Jul 21, 2020, 7:26 PM

#

Thank you all for answrring, one more for you. Does gathering give character exp? Could i potentially level a character with only gathering?

true halo Jul 21, 2020, 7:26 PM

#

And your a god for it

stable plover Jul 21, 2020, 7:26 PM

#

@true halo Only Economic metropolises will have an AH, which is only accessible within it's zone of influence (about 20% of the world for a metro), Economic nodes have other things before metro that makes buying and selling goods easier compared to other node types, but stuff can be sold from player stalls/businesses in any node

tulip hatch Jul 21, 2020, 7:27 PM

#

@autumn pike No ETA at this time

ruby swift Jul 21, 2020, 7:27 PM

#

Everything gives exp to the node. Not everything gives experience to you.

autumn pike Jul 21, 2020, 7:27 PM

#

Sounds good, thanks!

true halo Jul 21, 2020, 7:27 PM

#

Oh that actually makes sense, dope

#

@simple ether awesome thank you

lapis sinew Jul 21, 2020, 7:28 PM

#

Q: if there is set respawn points in the node is there anything stopping a group to just camp a respawn other than the corruption and bounty hunters which is a clear deterrent just curious

stable plover Jul 21, 2020, 7:29 PM

#

@lapis sinew Node guards would also help in that case

gritty kernel Jul 21, 2020, 7:30 PM

#

I don't know if this has already been asked in the past but I couldn't find anything about it. Q: how much will we be able to customize the UI? Will we be able to move elements of the UI to a second monitor? Like for example the inventory or the character panel.

low lantern Jul 21, 2020, 7:30 PM

#

@red pendant if a non combatant attacks a non combatant and he fights back and wins he will not gain corruption

brave pecan Jul 21, 2020, 7:30 PM

#

Is this game going to be released on steam?

stable plover Jul 21, 2020, 7:31 PM

#

@gritty kernel probably not a second monitor unless you had the game running across 2 monitors

true halo Jul 21, 2020, 7:31 PM

#

It’s own launcher?

ruby swift Jul 21, 2020, 7:31 PM

#

Yep

red pendant Jul 21, 2020, 7:31 PM

#

@gritty kernel I hope so. I loved skinning my UI in Dark Age of Camelot.

karmic wave Jul 21, 2020, 7:31 PM

#

Q: Can you master only 1 profession, period, or an entire profession branch?

stable plover Jul 21, 2020, 7:31 PM

#

@gritty kernel They do intend to have the UI elements be moveable though

lapis sinew Jul 21, 2020, 7:32 PM

#

That's true but that's if they die. I have little faith of people coming to help other people off of my experience in other games. But this is a new game and the first one I would have played that has a pvp system like this so I will just see.

sacred tangle Jul 21, 2020, 7:32 PM

#

Can Embers be spent on game time?

karmic wave Jul 21, 2020, 7:32 PM

#

oh, ok, earlier I got the impression that you can pick only 1 profession to master

gritty kernel Jul 21, 2020, 7:32 PM

#

@simple ether Hmm that is a shame. I know that in bdo you can pop out the ui and move it to a monitor even if the game is not stretched to bot monitors. I think this would be amazing. But thanks for the answer.

true halo Jul 21, 2020, 7:32 PM

#

So I can master all of crafting or just one thing, like blacksmithing?

autumn pike Jul 21, 2020, 7:32 PM

If I donate on kickstarter after I donated on the ashesofcreation webiste, can I just donate the difference or do I have to donate the full $500?

About the corruption system: How will corruption gained be affected when contesting world bosses? are there gonna be free to flag areas around world bosses? if not, can people chees contesting groups by getting a lvl 1 player in the group so the contesting players will receive a larger penalty for contesting?

autumn pike Jul 21, 2020, 7:35 PM

#

Where can I reserve my name? Or is that after alpha 2 comes out?

karmic wave Jul 21, 2020, 7:36 PM

Do we know whether in game locations have some names, or will it be just "Node #36"

autumn pike Jul 21, 2020, 7:36 PM

Okay cool, im assuming an email will be sent when it is available?

austere pike Jul 21, 2020, 7:36 PM

Is there any information on how hard it will be to respec talentpoints? (assuming that you can respec those points)

stable plover Jul 21, 2020, 7:37 PM

#

@true halo You could at least dabble in gathering if you master crafting -> don't know if that means you could only gather t1 materials, or if you get less materials or what

true halo Jul 21, 2020, 7:37 PM

#

Oh ok, thanks Grey

tulip hatch Jul 21, 2020, 7:37 PM

@frail solar We know that once a node develops into a city you can choose a name from a preselected list

ruby swift Jul 21, 2020, 7:37 PM

#

@frail solar You will be able to change the name of your node possibly from an approved list.

so if i go high priest i will go hard in healing but not much other than that?

stable plover Jul 21, 2020, 7:40 PM

#

@lapis sinew For extremely overcrowded areas it sounds like Intrepid might throw up a wall to block players out if say everyone on the server tried to go to a particular node at once

lapis sinew Jul 21, 2020, 7:41 PM

#

ok so in my example there could be 300 coming to the same place to start a slaughter.

#

Ok.

Ty.

@flat scaffold like Metin 2 LOL

will you be able to name your city as a mayor, will the whole city vote for a name, or are there only premade names for cities?

@eternal palm They've mentioned wanting to have character creation be a saveable thing ready to go on launch day, but I don't think that's tied to the name reservation

will the mayor choose then?

how much customization will the various nodes have? will they be mostly premade, or can people customise the cities/villages as they wish?

In the interview he said that spawning in the area at the divine gate for the specific race would be preferred even though you can spawn at any of the four gates thats why i was wondering where would the underrealm race preferred spawn be

@surreal trellis No racial skills afaik
However, Race also gives some "augments" you can use to change how skills work

Do you drop loot when getting killed by creatures?
would it be similar to non-combatant, combatant or corrupted status?
Can anyone loot the items from a killed player, or only the people who attacked the player?
If you are in combat with a player and gets killed by a monster, will it still count as the player kill or as the creature kill?
