questions

[deft dragon]

if dying is a way to lose a lot of corruption, what's to prevent people from letting friends kill them to get rid of corruption?

[grim canyon]

While this might seem silly, do you know guys if the game will have speech bubbles? I think speech bubbles make the socialization aspect of MMOS much more engaging, it creates interesenting interactions from the RP pov

[viral lintel]

nothing lei

[crisp holly]

@deft dragon XP debt will suck though for doing that

[deft dragon]

PK, pk pk - hey friends come kill me a bunch of times so I can go back, rinse, repeat

[tough sierra]

@deft dragon they still get the negative xp that comes from getting killed

[viral lintel]

but you dont only gain corruption, you also gain kill counts, and those dont go away when you die

[deft dragon]

if you're 50 already, does the xp even matter

[boreal abyss]

yes

[crisp holly]

Yes

[tough sierra]

It does

[boreal abyss]

you can become as weak as a lv 30 with enough XP Debt

[viral lintel]

and with every count, you gain more corruption next time

[weak sparrow]

@viral lintel there wont be many corrupted for the BH to target as the system is now, there isnt a decent reward for doing it besides being an asshole,
bring in voluntary Corruption, the BH will have more targets of people that will want to fight them and the rewards can be exactly the same, just make it so the voluntary corrupted dont have to murder greens for it and dont have to upkeep it by murdering greens repeatedly

[deft dragon]

oh you mean the stat debuff, not xp

[boreal abyss]

XP Debt is what gives the stat debuff

[tough sierra]

You dont have to 'level up' again but your power will be as if you were that lower level

[weak sparrow]

xp debt and stat debuff are seperate

[noble crater]

Voluntary corruption makes no sense, just purple if you wanna kill BH. Corruption is a punishment

[viral lintel]

im not sure man, there were always plenty of reds around in L2. you'd have to be lucky (or unlucky, depends) to find one, but lots of players are asshats

[boreal abyss]

the stat debuff depends on how much XP debt you got, so not they are not separate

[tough sierra]

Yeah a lot of people try and think about corruption like it's a state they can stay in

[viral lintel]

and BHs can actually find them easier than you could in L2

[tough sierra]

Becoming corrupt is a punishment

[onyx knoll]

@weak sparrow you get a lot of materials from greens that you kill so the reward can be pretty high if you target the right ppl

[viral lintel]

you dont get "a lot of" stuff. it's not gonna be worth it to go red.

you get "a low percentage"

[boreal abyss]

only low if killing Purple

I think Purple drops 1/2 of waht a green does, since death penalties are halved for purple

[full badger]

btw guys, friendly reminder that this channel is for questions and answers. Having extra discussion on top of that clogs up the channel and makes it harder to answer the actual questions. Please use the #aoc-discussion and #general-discussion channels for discussions

[viral lintel]

we are answering questions here

[weak sparrow]

what if i want to spend a weekend with corruption and see how many BH and purples i can kill in that time,
the way it currently is, i have to kill greens to get corruption, i have to murder greens regularly to upkeep it, because i will be killing mobs while i wait for BH to come so my Corruption will decrease, and any purples that see me will attack and i can do nothing about it

ill move it to another channel

[viral lintel]

you dont have to keep it up, if you dont die or kill mobs

corruption doesnt decay by itself

[weak sparrow]

and while im waiting for BH ill be killing mobs and getting resources, to get xp

[viral lintel]

but thats deliberately sabotaging your project yourself

[weak sparrow]

thats the problem

[boreal abyss]

as far as we know Andi
He did talk about corruption slowly decaying as you avoid getting killed in one of the latest interviews/ama iirc

[viral lintel]

i fear that within the current design scope, there's no solution for your question - maybe make a forum post (seriously, do it)

yeah, as far as we know, of course

it's also pre-alpha, right

much can change

if you just want to fight, flag and hang out outside a big town. people will come.

but it's precisely because it's still this early in development, that i'd just go and post on the forums. it's a feature idea, and it looks easy to code in (only appear corrupted to BHs and nobody else), they might just do it. it's kinda low hanging fruit

[full compass]

okay i know stuff is still changing, but i wanna live out my standard hunter mmo with my beasty

so i think id wanna be ranger primary, but it seems like id have to be summoner primary to have any pet at all

is that correct?

[full badger]

Any class can tame animals to be combat pets

[full compass]

oh baby

[slow sky]

^^

[full badger]

@full compass https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Pets

[full compass]

EVERY class can have a pet though?

oh wait i totally did read this, it sort of takes some of your power

[boreal abyss]

More like every person can have a battle pet, battle pets are not bound to the class system directly

[full badger]

You will need to spec into the taming profession to get it, and yes the trade-off is some of your character's power goes to your pet

[full compass]

ahhh

tyvm guys ❤️

[viral lintel]

i wonder how that actually plays tho

but i dont think anyone knows yet

[full compass]

i know plenty of people who wont be interested in pets at all, even if it turns out to be very slightly more dps

like they seem pretty hands on, rather than set it and forget it

[ivory ginkgo]

oh wow i didnt know about the battle pets, thats so cool

[boreal abyss]

Please keep channel to Q&A only
Discussions can be taken to #aoc-discussion and #general-discussion

[ivory ginkgo]

my first character is unlikely to use a battle pet since im going mage and i dont want my stats lowered

[mossy yew]

So you're not gonna get yourself an owl?

Some mage you are

[ivory ginkgo]

but a summoner who is already playing through their summon or a ranger who sits back

[viral lintel]

i wonder if this would make sense as cleric/cleric. your kill power is probably rather low.

[ivory ginkgo]

im a mage not a wizard harry 😛

[boreal abyss]

@viral lintel Some cleric healing abilites depends on the damage you do

[full compass]

if youre gonna go cleric/cleric you surely wont want to waste points in taming

[viral lintel]

but taming is a "gathering" skill

[trim moon]

Guys, use the #general-discussion or the #aoc-discussion chats for debating ideas

we're not discussing, we're looking for clarification

[ivory ginkgo]

mb everyone

[full badger]

Do you really want to talk back to a mod like that Andi?

[viral lintel]

yes

[stable plover]

For really speculative things, that the community doesn't know the answer to, those things make better discussions than answers that are just 'We don't know' -> Theorycrafting is a good thing for #aoc-discussion

[waxen pagoda]

Why are there two completely different combat systems? (The one that we saw in the preview video and the one in Apocalypse)

[boreal abyss]

@waxen pagoda they are planning to make a hybrid system

[humble flare]

Is there a way to see who used your referral code

[boreal abyss]

both action and tab

[full badger]

Apocalypse was designed to test the action side of the combat. the mmorpg will feature a mixture of tab and action combat

[trim moon]

@waxen pagoda They are still testing the combat systems, see how they gonna blend tab and action

[waxen pagoda]

That's cool, I'm really looking forward to this mix. Thanks for the quick answer

[full badger]

Is there a way to see who used your referral code
@humble flare Not that I'm aware of

[viral lintel]

what do you even get when someone uses your code?

[humble flare]

15% of what they spend

[ivory ginkgo]

will swimming and going under water be a thing?

[dark jungle]

yes

[chilly hedge]

Yes, there are even underwater mounts

[viral lintel]

you get paid?

[trim moon]

[Question] Will Intrepid sell founders pack again? (heard something about it in Jahlons video)

[dark jungle]

no

no kickstarter or summer packs will be sold again

[boreal abyss]

@viral lintel 15% of what they pay for their sub
and 15% of whatever they spend to buy premium currency for the cash shop

[dark jungle]

tell them to raise a ticket

[noble crater]

Can people remove the referral code from their account if they would rather all the money went to intrepid going forward?

[viral lintel]

ah cash shop currency, ok then. thanks

[autumn zodiac]

Is there an achievement / achievement point system and possibly collections?

[boreal abyss]

Yes

Collection unknown however

[chilly hedge]

@autumn zodiac https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Achievements

[desert ivy]

@viral lintel No, you also can get real life money

He meant that you get 15% of whatever they spend, whether that's through a sub fee or whether they buy stuff from the cosmetic shop

You can convert that to real life money, ingame embers, or sub time

[mossy yew]

So actual achievements, not like "congrats you killed 20 frogs, just like everyone else did for this stupid title"

[boreal abyss]

No

Achivements that are actual achievements is what they have said before

iirc

there will also be a title system

[visual forge]

with it be a bonus on the number of gear from a certain type you wear? like a bonus of leather if you have at least 4 leather on you etc... or will it be a bonus on the type of gear you have the most? (like 2 heavy, 2 cloth, 3 leather?)

[boreal abyss]

as you can lose titles if you lose the requirements for some titles @mossy yew

[dark jungle]

@visual forge yes

[winged cloak]

Does anyone know if we will be able to make wolf-like Tulnar? Think Worgen from WoW.

[boreal abyss]

We do not

[dark jungle]

@winged cloak no detailed tulnar designs are known

[winged cloak]

Thanks for the answers, guys!

[visual forge]

anyone have seen any infos about the number of gear needed for certain type of bonuses, or is it completely free of customisation as we want?

[dark jungle]

not yet

[crystal beacon]

@winged cloak that would be awesome

[dark jungle]

what we know is here @visual forge https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Gear_sets

[unreal zealot]

will pets have different skills depending on the animal/ archtype you are? so say i ma rouge and i stealth will that extend to my pet?

[visual forge]

perfect; thanks a lot @dark jungle 😄

[dark jungle]

@unreal zealot for summoner pets probably

[boreal abyss]

@unreal zealot
regular battle pets wont have many skills afaik

[fossil sand]

is the inventory going to be like in return of rekoning ?

[boreal abyss]

Unsure what you mean

[arctic oar]

Hey guys im new to the discord and looked around but couldnt find my answer. Theres no set date for Alpha 1 and then alpha 2 for the $350 pre order pack

[unreal zealot]

there not 100% on what the inventory system will be in terms of weight based or quantity based thats all i know

[arctic oar]

Anyone have any idea if that has been announced

[boreal abyss]

There is not
ALpha 1 will be sometime this fall

Alpha 2 date is completely unknown

[astral pivot]

they aren't sure yet, hoping alpha 1 will be october ish

[arctic oar]

Thank you @boreal abyss

[unreal zealot]

alpha one will probably be late november through december at some point

[boreal abyss]

The 375$ pack has A2 access btw

not A1

[astral pivot]

so expensive

[arctic oar]

Correct alpha 1 was only kickstarter right?

[astral pivot]

rip broke college student lol

[fossil sand]

@unreal zealot ok thx

[boreal abyss]

Alpha 1 stopped selling some months ago

[arctic oar]

Man i bought so many ships on star citizen so 375 dont seem too bad lmfao

[astral pivot]

so is it a monthly subscription or 1 time of 15 dollars

[boreal abyss]

as they had reached teh cap of 10 000 testers they wanted

monthly, 15$ each month @astral pivot

[astral pivot]

kind of confusing in the Q/A

ty

[boreal abyss]

No box cost tho, and no cost for future expansions either

[arctic oar]

Genuinely have been looking for a game to grind on since the start of this year

Looks like ill have to be patient

[astral pivot]

so its not f2p like rumors were saying. They do gotta make their money back somehow

[arctic oar]

Hey man they gotta pay employees somehow

[slow sky]

Idk why there’s rumors of f2p the game since day 1 has advertised a subscription based model

[astral pivot]

they didn't invest 30mil for nothing

he*

[slow meadow]

weird that there are rumors of F2P since its been a no box cost $15 model basically since it was announced.

[slow sky]

40*

[boreal abyss]

@astral pivot they have been pretty blunt and consitent on the cost

so someone would have to lie to get it wrong

[astral pivot]

^^

i herd 15 somewhere but wasnt sure if it was monthly, or 15 for the game

heard*

monthly would make a lot more money so, makes sense

thx for the help

[wide belfry]

so the fee monthly will be 15?

[slow sky]

Correct

No box cost or expansion cost

Just monthly fee

[lapis sonnet]

That’s amazing.

[wide belfry]

will there be season packs so it will be cheaper purchasing more months?

[slow sky]

Not confirmed but most likely

[late vale]

Probably

everything has em

[low garden]

just noticed 😮 personally find it weird that the kickstarter packages starting from leader of the men are on sale in the intrepid store. :/ Its not even on the fact that they are purchasable but they are cheaper then what was in the kickstarter backing. I had gotten braver of the world for $500 during kickstarter backing and to see leader of men package,which was a tier above Braver of the worlds, be the same price. Kind a slap to the face as I would have waited for a better tier package for the same price 😦

[late vale]

my brother showed me a vpn bundle for 5 years

lol

[slow sky]

@low garden that is because kickstarter backers can upgrade their kickstarter pack from what was purchased by paying the difference between the pack you own

[low garden]

so I can upgrade to Leader of the worlds if I backed $500 on KS?

[dark jungle]

yes

nobody else can

[slow sky]

You can upgrade to Leader of Men by paying $500 through the intrepid store not kickstarter anymore

[brittle ferry]

Can confirm, I did that exact thing @low garden

[low garden]

So what is the process to upgrade? If I may ask

[slow sky]

Considering you see the pack in the store it sounds your kickstarter is properly linked. So you’d just have to upgrade it in the store

[short coral]

^^

[rare apex]

Are there quests that contribute more exp to the node than others or equal value?

[dark jungle]

not known

[low garden]

Yes I have it linked with $500 being in the order history gotten from KS

[slow sky]

Leader of Men are currently getting NDA’s for pre-alpha testing. So if you decide to upgrade i suggest contacting a dev in dms or opening a support ticket to get situated for testing

[low garden]

Did leader of Men have access to Alpha in May 28th or was that for higher backers?

[dark jungle]

higher

[rare apex]

Second question, are quests with level requirements?

[dark jungle]

yes

[slow sky]

This is the first testing Leader of Men will participate in that wasnt open like Apoc

[low garden]

ok thanks everyone. Sorry for the trifling question. Great support, cant wait to play the post Apoc game 😄

[glossy siren]

question about the bard would you be able to make your own song and play it, in inn and out on the street

[dark jungle]

that has been spoken of but not confirmed

[slow sky]

No worries, it’s a legitimate concern if you never knew KS could still upgrade their KS packs despite the kickstarter no longer being sold

[glossy siren]

noice

[rare apex]

Last question, with the cooking skill are you able to create food with stat buffs or are you also able to create food with speed boosts or something?

[dark jungle]

you should be able to craft food with various buffs depending on your recipes and progression in the craft

[slow sky]

Food will have stat bonuses and cooking skill will influence how strong the buffs can be and last most likely

[left warren]

I see on the wiki release schedule that they intend to have a pre release for kickstarters of founder and up. Is this available from any of the packages on the current store?

[dark jungle]

not currently, they may start selling alpha-1 access again though

if you are already a kickstarter you can still upgrade

[nimble charm]

Anyone have an idea on what the community's overall feeling is about the cosmetics store? Divided? Overall okay with it? Outraged?

Has there been a straw poll?

Is there any likelihood that Intrepid would walk back on it or is it too late with the founders packs? Curious

[tepid night]

I really hope their cosmetics shop are like what dota 2 is doing.. By body parts/weapon, some with themed full costumes, special effects for higher tier, and a battlepass-like packs where we do quest or objectives to unlock more cosmetics the more you progress

[tough sierra]

People are seemingly pretty alright with it seeing as the store is cosmetic only, no paid enhancements for ingame use

[dark jungle]

probably should ask in #aoc-discussion or the forums @nimble charm

this channel really isnt about discussing opinions

[nimble charm]

thanks @dark jungle I'll c/p it

[slow meadow]

@nimble charm the cosmetic only store is not going anywhere. it is core to the business model they have laid out. as for what people think that is a forum item like lex said.

[scenic agate]

I made a post today about some of the concerns I had: https://forums.ashesofcreation.com/discussion/45128/cosmetics-should-thresholds-triggers-be-implemented-for-real-money-purchases#latest

[dark jungle]

again this is not the channel to be sharing opinions

[nimble charm]

I'm sorry for bringing it up!

[potent merlin]

The unreal engines question:
Are you guys using unreal engine 4 to make game or the unreal engine 5?
As i remember there epic tease unreal engine 5 during PlayStation stream?

[digital yacht]

4 atm

May switch to 5 if it’s “easy” to do, they are looking into it and keep updates on it

But I doubt it

[slow sky]

4 atm with heavily custom back end

[potent merlin]

So it a mystery if it possible to upgrade to 5 then

[digital yacht]

It’s possible only if they think it will be a better option

[potent merlin]

Well the PlayStation showcase of it seem promising, especially for mmo game

[dark jungle]

unreal engine 5 isnt even released yet. steven said they will look into the possibility of upgrading in the future

[short coral]

Unreal Engine 4 is forward compatible with Unreal engine 5

[digital yacht]

Looks can be deceiving I’m sure5 will have many kinks to work out before they can switch

Of they do at all

If

[potent merlin]

[humble flare]

How long are they letting people who backed in kickstarter upgrade?

till launch?

[dark jungle]

yeah prolly

they will let us know

[brazen tartan]

Do we know race stats

[slow meadow]

no

[edgy acorn]

@tight gale @plucky pawn I HAVE A MAJOR QUESTION!!!! In the AMA Steven confirmed a boob slider in character creation! I request /Demand equality!!!!! Can we get a bulge slider to compensate? Or make it that we can make buff men with big 0' bittys? Thank you for your time and consideration. Humbly your Gay necromancer prince ❤️

[turbid sphinx]

[Question]: Are the node towns/cities/etc nameable? Or will they have preset names?

[desert ivy]

You can pick the names from a pre-made list

Can't enter your own name

[brittle vector]

@edgy acorn

[topaz sequoia]

Lol took time to find? @brittle vector

[fervent ledge]

Guys are freeholds limited to a number on each ZOI ? I know it says 1 per account but is there a limit like 500 plots on each ZOI ?

[fickle hawk]

no direct limit on freehold

[slow sky]

Free holds are limited to 1 per account

[brittle vector]

yes xD

[fickle hawk]

ooh yea 1 per account

but i mean i n a zone

[slow sky]

And they can’t be too close to a bunch of stuff

[fickle hawk]

aslong as theres room

[fervent ledge]

so there is a limit

I mean Node X can only take Y freeholds

[fickle hawk]

1 freehold per account and not against hard objects

[fervent ledge]

i'm not asking that

[fickle hawk]

wel yea but no number is cited

depends on the area ur in

[fervent ledge]

ok thank you

Asking this because I come from Archeage and most of us who play/played know how land can be limited

[fickle hawk]

the whole zone of influence is possible but not on paths, nodes and hard objects such as trees mountains

[tulip ember]

Can free holds be destroyed by other players or in-game events, or do they expire eventually when not playing for periods of time

[azure birch]

Okay so Jahlon is on vacation. Now I'll answer questions for 1 hour straight. Bring it on

[fading latch]

@azure birch 😂

[fickle hawk]

node wars will reset node to 0

if won

[slow meadow]

@tulip ember if there is a successful siege of a node they freeholds are vulnerable for 2 hours after where they can be destroyed.

[thorny summit]

In this message it seems that it is possible to master ALL crafting professions from one parent artisan path at the same time.
Some people, along myself, thought that it was only possible to master 1 profession, eg weapon smithing, of a parent artisan path but that you can still level all other professions.
or is it that you can master 1 parent path, in that parent path you can master 1 profession and the other professions can't be levelled up to that level, and the other parent paths can't be levelled at all.
how exactly does this work?

[past umbra]

is the crafting gated behind a level? or can i just get an alt to be a master crafter on super low level?

[tulip ember]

Vulnerable, so how would one take a freehold, is it a crystal to be destroyed or channeled such as the lineage 2 castle system

[dark jungle]

there are no hard caps on the numbers of freeholds that can be in the world (there is more than enough space for everyone to own a freehold), however the price of freeholds and constant change of nodes and zois due to node sieges will pose a soft cap to people wanting to have one. not everyone will be able to afford one, and not everyone will be able to hold onto their freehold even if they can

[unreal zealot]

im sure craftng will give you xp anyway

[dark jungle]

@past umbra its likely not

[fervent ledge]

@thorny summit From what I heard on Steve interviews you will have 1 Master Profession (top of the top) and the rest you can still upgrade but not to the max

[azure birch]

it will indeed along with many other activities scarab

[thorny summit]

yeah, but this message says you can master all professions within a artisan path

[slow meadow]

@tulip ember we don't know the exact mechanic yet but it will be able to be destoryed after a successful siege.

[dark jungle]

@fervent ledge no you can master any number of professions within your chosen artisan path

[slow meadow]

you will be able to try and defend your freehold during that period as well.

[silent island]

Regarding sieges is the effort and time put into creating a node to say metropolis level equal to the effort and time required to siege it?

[dark jungle]

Gathering is a parent artisan path, along with processing and crafting. Within each of the three parent paths lies different professions. You may only ever master one parent path. But you may spend time mastering each profession within the parent artisan path.[4] – Steven Sharif

[slow sky]

Yes

[silent island]

Like the defenders are loosing a lot compared to the attackers

[dark jungle]

@silent island yes approximately

[slow sky]

It’s not gonna be easy obtaining siege scrolls

[azure birch]

nvm lex is here

[fervent ledge]

@dark jungle ohh so there are 3 main paths (artisan/processing/crafting) and gathering is part of artisan ? is that what it means?

[dark jungle]

cities and metros will have a significant defensive advantage @silent island

[azure birch]

[slow meadow]

@silent island yes it takes an increasing number of resources to attack the larger nodes. not just to declare but in what you will need in order to siege

[dark jungle]

Gathering
Processing
Crafting

^ the three artisan classes. within these are professions

[hardy bolt]

its on the wiki

currently you can, maybe they'll change it

[tulip ember]

I assume one guild/alliance can own everything in the server

[silent island]

What about lower level nodes?

[dark jungle]

@tulip ember it will likely be impossible for a single guild to control even one metro

[slow meadow]

@tulip ember that would be nearly impossible for a guild, even an alliance would be very difficult considering the numbers involved. there are 103 nodes and 5 castles. they may control one or two aspects but again the time investment will not be trivial to run and control those.

[dark jungle]

The castle system would likely be far more advantageous for a guild to try to dominate rather than nodes

[crystal beacon]

There's a max 300 players in a guild, no way 300 players can hold down a map that size lul

That is true

[silent island]

What is the difference from wow in which 1 guild owns multiple servers

[thorny summit]

its on the wiki
@hardy bolt wiki might be wrong about this

[gilded wagon]

What guild owns multiple servers?

[dark jungle]

wiki is only based on what steven says

[hardy bolt]

wrong about the professions? @thorny summit

[dark jungle]

its not

[thorny summit]

we're unsure

[hardy bolt]

agreed @dark jungle

[dark jungle]

we are sure

steven said it

so we are sure

[thorny summit]

wiki is only based on what steven says
@dark jungle steven might make mistakes though. and in the last interview he said you can only master 1 profession

[dark jungle]

if he makes mistakes thats on him not the wiki

we just record what he says

[hardy bolt]

The game literally isn't even in alpha yet they said they will look at it and decide later, so at this point its up in the air but its safe to assume you can do multiple as long as its in the same tree

[thorny summit]

yeah, i'm currently trying to get clarification from him on the subject

[dark jungle]

if you have a quote of steven contradicting himself then by all means well look into it

[hardy bolt]

and maybe they'll change it later

[slow meadow]

the wiki is currently correct. Steven has said in the pas that depending on the economy they may limit the number of professions that can be mastered within one artisan path but that will require testing and further data. so for now assuming the wiki is right, is the way to go.

[dark jungle]

everything is subject to change yes

[prisma turret]

cain you would be surprised if that was the case about holding the area with 300 people.

[void vortex]

When will we have the skills list for every class ?

[crystal beacon]

You do know the size of the map right?

lol

[slow meadow]

not until near the end of alpha 2 @void vortex

[dark jungle]

not likely until a2

[prisma turret]

185 sq miles yes i do

[void vortex]

ok thanks

[thorny summit]

guys go to #aoc-discussion or #general-discussion

[dark jungle]

here we go

hot off the press

[hardy bolt]

lol

[silent island]

Clarification

[crystal beacon]

Those channels are always going by so fast lol

[ruby swift]

Gotta love it when the new meat gets tenderized.

[silent island]

Lol

So it means we don’t even have to stick to one artisan path?

Some bits can be mastered from other paths as well?

[dark jungle]

if you want to master professions you need to master one path yes

lol @ruby swift

[slow meadow]

@undone prairie we dont even know that actually. The abilities currently in the game are just the very first iteration and there will be a much larger pool of abilities as we get further in to testing.

[ruby swift]

I stopped. They were trying to gaslight you, this is all your show.

[silent island]

What does he mean by not all in an artisan branch

[left warren]

What are the punishments for switching paths if any at all?

[undone galleon]

Will summoner hp be shared with their summons?

[late vale]

for example if u work wood

[neon rampart]

No

Heck no its

[spring warren]

that was weird to be reading a question and it get deleted

[late vale]

there are different ways of working it, and u can just go one way, or thats what I got

[neon rampart]

There will be tank/dps pets

and support

[crystal beacon]

So can we choose to be a solo player? Like for example are we aloud to travel to every region just doing quest and stuff?

[slow meadow]

@silent island if you think of the crafting artisan path as an example you may have armorsmith, weaponsmith, leatheworker, and tailor as professions in that path. You may be able to master two or three out of those but not all.

[dawn mango]

@crystal beacon I'm no expert but I think the idea is that you can but almost everything would be beneficial to have some buddies for

[slow meadow]

correct you can solo, but group play is definitely encouraged

[ruby swift]

I have played the early iterations solo. You will spend a lot of time running in terror. So if that is your thing, you will have a blast.

[crystal beacon]

@dawn mango I know but I'm just asking for RP reasons I guess but Im definitely to try to make friends

[stark badge]

Will there be skill upgrades from trainers or will skills be amplified by level + gear?

[stark matrix]

how many people can be in 1 guild

[slow sky]

300 is max with guild skill upgrades

[ruby swift]

300

[spring warren]

when a node is successfully sieged, will it have a cooldown before it can advance again

[ruby swift]

Advance, no. Be sieged again. Yes

[stark matrix]

i really wann try this game out now are there anyway i can

[nimble charm]

Would you be able to set prices of less tangeable businesses (like renting rooms for a tavern you own)? What about discounts for friends, guildies, etc?

[void mural]

how much dediditated wam should i have to my server

[slow meadow]

@spring warren not currently, but going back to 0 means it will take some time to get back to where it was especially if it was higher level

[slow sky]

69

[ruby swift]

42

[spring warren]

so say a metropolis is successfully sieged, it goes back down to a 0 progress

[slow sky]

Correct

[misty condor]

yes

[slow meadow]

@stark matrix there is not currently any package that will give you access to Alpha 1 testing in the fall. Alpha 2 is available but that is still a long time down the road from now.

[misty condor]

and vassal can grow after that

[wintry river]

Why would you siege it? Besides pride

[ruby swift]

Opps..sorry. Misread the successful siege. If sieged blasted back to 0. Depending on surrounding nodes may be locked from advancing. My earlier comment was for unsuccessful.

[slow sky]

Unlock other content somewhere else

[crystal beacon]

Hello guys, what Anti Cheat System will this game have??

[ruby swift]

It has 4 that we know of.

[slow sky]

A good one (hopefully)

[ruby swift]

And a couple they haven't mentioned. The most overt one that players see is EasyAntiCheat

[midnight goblet]

No anti cheat is truly good, just programed to fight known programs.

[slow meadow]

@crystal beacon intrepid are building in a lot of monitoring and automatic detection into the foundation of the game to help catch behavior, in addition they will have actual GMs on the servers as well. They will be able to create algorithms that notify when certain suspicious behavior is happening automatically plus there is an in game reporting function as well.

[slow sky]

Even if cheats get through the cracks, I’m usually pretty good at finding sellers for the cheats and i can report it directly to steven or someone on the team

[spring warren]

can a secondary class be changed after it is first decided upon? will this cost resources, time, or just a quick convo with the right npc

[crystal beacon]

Question for the discord are we going to have Spanish speaking channels or no? Just generally curious

[slow meadow]

@spring warren secondaries can be changed with some effort

[midnight goblet]

@crystal beacon depends if they have Spanish staff.

Id say

[slow sky]

@spring warren it can be changed with effort we dont know how kuch or what that entails

[ruby swift]

They have channels for languages that will be localized at launch currently. My.Games is not doing Spanish for launch, so no chat.

[crystal beacon]

Are Smurf Accounts allowed???

[spring warren]

will there be a world chat?

[ruby swift]

No world chat. Largest is node wide or possibly ZOI.

[onyx knoll]

@crystal beacon currently they are allowing multile accounts as long as you dont use scripts or macros or other external tools to control all those account at the same timw

[midnight goblet]

@ruby swift my actual question is will they allow that dumb bot zone chat spam. Cause that's ruined a lot of games for me.

You ever played bdo you know what I mean

[spring warren]

will there be a /follow function

[slow meadow]

@spring warren not currently no

[surreal void]

@wintry river besides unlocking new content, you can get a lot of loot that players store within the node, you can raid freehold for their loot. You can get items from the nodes reliquary.

[slow sky]

Bots will naturally have a rough time in this game

[onyx knoll]

@midnight goblet they will have active GMs that ban bots and chat gold sellers

[slow sky]

Yes

[midnight goblet]

Ok thank you

[ruby swift]

Nope, and as mentioned above there will be a reporting feature and active GMs, the $15 sub fee acts as a barrier to entry, no free trials, and many other ways to combat said spam will be used.

[vale sail]

Will the only supported regions be NA/OCE/UK/FR/DE/CIS?

[slow sky]

PI’s also can go to GM Island so we can report bots relatively easily

[surreal void]

Unsure atm @vale sail

[ruby swift]

NA and OCE are supported by Intrepid. EU/CIS are supported by My.Games

[slow meadow]

@vale sail SEA is on that list as well, and any other region that has enough interest they will consider as well.

[ruby swift]

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Regions

[mossy yew]

I have a question about corruption

[midnight goblet]

Alright I mean I've spent 700 on this game ; ill see yall around alpha testing 2.

bought me and my dad the game thanks for the answers

[mossy yew]

What's to stop a ganker that fills up on corruption from just trading all his gear to his buddy and dying 1 or 2 times to get rid of it?

[crisp holly]

See you then @midnight goblet

[midnight goblet]

Ye

[crystal beacon]

What about Voice Chat?? Can you speak to players near you??

[vale sail]

Thanks for the responses, asking from South Africa. We have quite the MMO community, but not sure if it'll be big enough to warrant a server nearby.

[slow meadow]

@mossy yew if you have that much corruption dying a couple times is not likely to remove all your corruption, plus you have a X4 death penalty so you have large XP debt which can reduce your combat effectiveness. Its a pretty detailed system with plenty of room for them to adjust the numbers as well.

[ruby swift]

I can give you an answer that would be theoretical, but then it sparks discussion and channel goes off the rails. Corruption is a hot button issue. Might be better in one of the discussion channels. There are ways to close those loopholes.

[slow meadow]

@crystal beacon no proximity voice

[mossy yew]

Sounds good

[dawn mango]

If you upgrade from Settler->Founder at this point does this buy you more than access to the alpha? There is a stipulation that some items are "kickstarter exclusive" for the Founder package. Does that mean those can't be obtained now?

[violet swan]

Do we know if there's going to be a Level difference effect in PvP? eg: Black Desert's, 1-2 levels apart and you have a 50-75% chance to miss everything you do.
In one of the recent streams Steven said that he wants to let people bat above their weigh class in pve but didnt mention in pvp.
I want to be able to have a lvl 1 kill a lvl 50 if it dodges everything, instead of a difference of 2 levels being roughly 75% chance to miss each and every hit like it was in bdo.

[ruby swift]

@dawn mango You are still under the Kickstarter umbrella, so those items would apply to you.

I have upgraded twice. Can tell you it works that way for sure.

[dawn mango]

@ruby swift oh I see I see. if you upgrade then you still get the kickstarter items. If, however, you were to just now buy the Founder package then you get the alpha access and gametime only.

[slow meadow]

@violet swan that will be tested and adjusted during the alphas. I dont think the intention is to have a level 1 be able to kill a level 50 but it sounds like Intrepid want that range to be a bit more forgiving than in other games.

[ruby swift]

@dawn mango You can't buy, just now.

Upgrades of previous KS packages only. KS closed May 2017

[dawn mango]

Understood. Thanks!

[worldly fox]

Are there addition art? concept? of the items shown in the packs available for purchase?

[dark jungle]

if there is, you can find them on the wiki

[worldly fox]

thanks @dark jungle

[violet swan]

I sure as heck hope that they never implement that, cause it just becomes a lategame grindfest to level up but and the natual competition between spots is overruled by "hey i'm 2 levels above you so you have no chance to even hit me let alone kill me and push me out of the spot" it sounds like a smll thing but it genuinely ruins the game for pve-ers and pvp-ers alike.

[dark jungle]

@violet swan they will not be implementing level based damage or skill dampening

[worldly fox]

I know that Steven mentioned in... maybe the Reddit AMA that most of the lore was being held back to be a surprise, is there any good source/youtuber that covers what we do know?

[dark jungle]

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Lore

also https://ashes101.com

[worldly fox]

Again, thanks @dark jungle

[violet swan]

@worldly fox I imagine TheLazyPeon would be good for that, he's got a large following and has bee hyped for Ashes for a while

[worldly fox]

@violet swan he's why I'm here! Thanks 🙂

[ruby swift]

All right Lex. Just popped in to answer some DMs in the middle of the night. It's all yours. Have fun.

[dark jungle]

oof, was about to get breakfast

[ruby swift]

All right, will stick around till your back

[dark jungle]

dw unk, i got this

[ruby swift]

kk...got my busy day tomorrow. Off to sleep

[copper sphinx]

@worldly fox FrostyCoffee did a cool video on some of the lore you can find it in community media channel

[worldly fox]

Thanks @copper sphinx I'll go find that

[ornate ivy]

I am considering preordering and I am unsure if I should wait to see, what the august package looks like, but I am worried that A2 access won't be included. Is it known if that is the case?

[slow meadow]

they will give plenty of notice before alpha 2 access is closed

[ornate ivy]

thanks @slow meadow ❤️

[versed delta]

Will this game have two or more weapons that are equipped at once? Something like the two bars in ESO?

[crystal beacon]

Is beta/alpha running now ? Is there a package that I can buy to "get into" the action ?

thanks 🙂

[dark jungle]

you can buy a pre-order pack to get into a2 and the betas

details on the shop

@versed delta yes

[crystal beacon]

I used to play Everquest back in 99... quite unsucessfully I might add.

[dark jungle]

you can dual wield and also have a ranged weapon equipped

[crystal beacon]

Does Ashes of Creation uses "free text chatting with NPC" like the original EQ ?

[versed delta]

So like, sword and board plus staff?

[dark jungle]

NPC interaction is dialog/window based

[crystal beacon]

awww... I miss the feeling of immersion and mystery from having to figure out what to say 🤷

[dark jungle]

@versed delta https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Gear

[crystal beacon]

it's unfortunate, with advances in NLP they could've made it really interesting 🙂

[spice dagger]

Hey guys, please feel free to check out the question and vote your opinion. https://strawpoll.com/y51c7h1xj

[lyric glade]

i think its too complicated, need more polls

[crystal beacon]

Yeah that poll is complicated, I feel I need to be more informed before I can take a position lol 😛 but interesting question

In the original Everquest each class had a unique skill to contribute. Like you needed other players to fast travel, to bind yourself to a new city, you could buy buffs from players like spirit of wolf to travel faster, etc...

[lyric glade]

tree crafting system is good idea, but need to work on it

[crystal beacon]

Does that exist in AoC as well ?

[unreal zealot]

Being able to master all professions in one tree is better and Stevens already said it will take a very long time to do that.

[dark jungle]

the artisan system is three trees, with branches of each tree being the professions

[unreal zealot]

always gives you somthin t owork on if you love gathering or crafting

[slow meadow]

@crystal beacon there are utility skills yes like cleric clearing poison clouds so you can access certain areas. fast travel will be very limited though.

[dire pond]

In the universe of AoC, in verra when a caracter dies what happen to him, meaning in the lore not in the game

[lyric glade]

i think the best would be something like u choose a branch to master
not only 1 prof

[dark jungle]

@dire pond we've been promised lore surrounding player death, hopefully we will get some of that

[crystal beacon]

@slow meadow thanks 🙂

[lyric glade]

it would be much more comfortable for casuals

[crystal beacon]

PS4 release or only PC????

[slow meadow]

@crystal beacon pc only

[dark jungle]

@lyric glade you do only choose one tree to master. within that tree you can master multiple professions

[dire pond]

So there isnt any like spirit realm or something

[dark jungle]

not revealed so far

[lyric glade]

what about to master one up to full and have some basic skill in other?

[crystal beacon]

What does Artisan mean????

[lyric glade]

https://ru.ashesofcreation.wiki/Artisan_classes

[dark jungle]

@lyric glade yes you do not need to master a profession, even if you have mastery in that tree

[lyric glade]

no i mean u can master one, but also can use all other at basic lvl

[dark jungle]

@crystal beacon Artisan means either a Gatherer, Processor or Crafter https://ru.ashesofcreation.wiki/Artisan_classes

[lyric glade]

any chance for that?

[crystal beacon]

Ok thx

[dark jungle]

@lyric glade correct thats what i meant too

[crystal beacon]

How many people can a single server support??

[dark jungle]

50,000 characters, 10,000 online at the same time

[lyric glade]

how much accounts? Same as online?

[crystal beacon]

Why not 50,000 at the same time

[lyric glade]

why not 500 000 at same time?

[dark jungle]

why not infinite?

something to do with physics

[crystal beacon]

Bad

[lyric glade]

even wow cant handle more then 100 people at once

[potent glade]

True

I think 5 people is the perfect number

[lyric glade]

too much

[crystal beacon]

any good MMORPG'S???

[dark jungle]

guys this is a questions channel

discussions etc are #aoc-discussion #general-discussion

[crystal beacon]

When will the game launch

[lyric glade]

more then 2 years

[dark jungle]

no dates given, when its ready

[crystal beacon]

Great

[dark jungle]

no official dates or times given apart from A1

[lyric glade]

any account for translator team?
Or a guy who can check spells for us?

It will make work much easier
May be you, lex? :D

[worldly fox]

What if you bought a Voyager Plus pack, but then realized that you just aren't in to swamp stuff at all. I know you can add items later, but is there any way to just wholesale swap out this pack for a later pack?

[crystal beacon]

How many people are currently developing this game??

[dark jungle]

around 60-70 fulltime + contractors

[crystal beacon]

Not enough

[dark jungle]

@worldly fox raise a ticket

[crystal beacon]

Depends on their skillsets, experience and code reuse.

[sullen bay]

Didn't they just open up like 25 more positions?

[crystal beacon]

They're not reinventing the wheel on everything.

[worldly fox]

Thanks @dark jungle

[high forge]

Hi there 🙂 How far can a solo player get roughly before having to join a guild? Or is a guild pretty much necessary ?

[slow meadow]

@high forge theoretically you can get to cap solo, but group play is encouraged.

[onyx knoll]

I'm sure you could play solo.... But i wouldnt recommend it honestly

[dark jungle]

not known for sure @high forge but they say that the game should cater for solo players too

[lyric glade]

i heard there is no raid finder like in wow, so until raids i guess

well, if you want to get all the content

[onyx knoll]

It'll probably depend on the servers. If you happen to end up on a chill server with few griefers/red players then solo would probably be nice

[crystal beacon]

I find the more easy the game becomes, the more it feels like a theme park and a job and the less it feels like roleplaying and exploration 🤷

[high forge]

Awesome, always good to know if i can get friends to play it. Do we have a rough estimate on the guild sizes? like how many players can be in one ?

[crystal beacon]

Eventually you find yourself playing a set of lists and menus more than actually enjoying the content.

[onyx knoll]

Max 300 players for guild size, if the guild uses all their guild points for size increase instead of buffs

[lyric glade]

"300 is max with guild skill upgrades"

[eager siren]

hers is the most important question of all. is there going to be a open world proximity voice chat?

[high forge]

Thank you very much all of you ☺️

[onyx knoll]

Yes, in some areas

[eager siren]

omg

[uneven lodge]

when is Alpha 2 predicted to come out?

[lyric glade]

no info

[crystal beacon]

around 60-70 fulltime + contractors
@dark jungle Needs more ManPower, this game has pretty complicated mechanics.

[onyx knoll]

Not everywhere, but there will also be group voice chat

[slow meadow]

@eager siren no there will not be proximity voice chat but there will be group voice chat in game.

[uneven lodge]

Im trying to decide if I want to drop 375$

[eager siren]

@uneven lodge we have no clue but id like to be optimistic and say early to mid 2021

[crystal beacon]

Im trying to decide if I want to drop 375$
dew it

No

lmao

[outer crystal]

Alpha 2 comes with the $250 bundle also

[onyx knoll]

@slow meadow wrong, there will be proximity chat in taverns at least

[uneven lodge]

I know but that name res tho

[undone ravine]

375 if you're 🍁

[crystal beacon]

@crystal beacon they are building stuff that most dev would struggle to wrap their minds around. you could throw hundreds of devs at these problems and fail to materialize a solution, and yet a smaller team with the vision could do it.

[slow meadow]

@onyx knoll that is a group chat specific to taverns. its stated multiple times that there is no proximity based voice.

[crystal beacon]

At the end it's not the actual implementation that's going to be hard, but coming up with an appropriate design.

Which can be hard to communicate to junior devs that don't see the vision. Faster to experiment on them yourself.

@crystal beacon they are building stuff that most dev would struggle to wrap their minds around. you could throw hundreds of devs at these problems and fail to materialize a solution, and yet a smaller team with the vision could do it.
@crystal beacon what about more people with the vision who could do it

i've been thinking

why are u ppl talking about the game so much

@crystal beacon I am sure if they're going ahead with their design and their requirements and the team they have it's because they think they can do it... and they are experienced devs...

[slow meadow]

please keep this to Q&A, and move conversations to #aoc-discussion or #general-discussion

[onyx knoll]

@slow meadow mh, alright i guess i can see the difference

[crystal beacon]

if the game is just gonna come out after 2 years from now

i really dont get it..

[steady ocean]

Many people here will be playing the Alphas and Betas

[crisp holly]

@crystal beacon because Alpha 1 will be happening in a couple months(some of these people will be playing that) and then after that Alpha 2

[crystal beacon]

--- let's take it to aoc-disc ?

how can i play the alpha then

[crisp holly]

Those in Alpha 2 will be able to play from when it start until launch

[safe canopy]

Because we want the game to come out with the best possible implementation of features and early feedback is important for that

[steady ocean]

You can play in the Alpha 2 buy buying the $275 or higher pack

[crisp holly]

https://accounts.ashesofcreation.com/shop

[crystal beacon]

ok..

thats just not happening

wtf?!

[safe canopy]

Nothingsconfirmed, but asmongold also said he was going to be asking for alpha/beta keys to give away in his stream,

[eager siren]

the problem is that you consider it playing rather than testing

[crisp holly]

^

[safe canopy]

^

[crystal beacon]

??

[deep axle]

if you buy a package can you play for the whole alpha/beta and the months you get are for post-launch?

[eager siren]

they dont want people getting keys for free that dont actually care about making the game the best it can be

[crystal beacon]

I am considering buying a "no vaseline" pack

my definition of "playing" would be testing it..

[crisp holly]

@deep axle Yes

[deep axle]

thanks

[high forge]

So with the alphas and beta is there going to be whole server wipes? and more then likely one before the games comes out?

[crisp holly]

@high forge Yes

[onyx knoll]

The packs contain a lot more then just the alpha keys

[eager siren]

yeah there is going to be multiple

it said alpha is subject to multiple wipes and the betas 1 and 2 will be wiped

[crystal beacon]

how long will the longuest alpha be ?

[crisp holly]

Alpha 2

[eager siren]

alpha to is going to be a persistent alpha

[crystal beacon]

days, weeks, months ?

[somber basalt]

As long as it needs to be

no given time

[eager siren]

almost like a ptr until launch

[crisp holly]

Will last until launch

[high forge]

I guess that means a good way to test out multiple classes, ah Okay then thanks a lot.

[eager siren]

it said alpha 2 will be until launch on the wiki

[crisp holly]

But we have no idea how long each part will be

[trail creek]

this is a place where you can ask questions yes?

[eager siren]

and alpha 2 will be up between the two betas

[crisp holly]

@trail creek yep

[crystal beacon]

Ugh... now I have to nuke 275USD on a game....

[uneven lodge]

Does any one know how the name reservation works? Is it right when i buy it or only when the game launches?

[eager siren]

i think its during alpha 2

once we get into game i believe

[crisp holly]

Maybe Alpha 1

[eager siren]

not too sure tho

[terse birch]

Quick question, can't find an answer on the faq (or anwhere) Where would I actually get the client? I hadn't been following recently, so didn't even notice the alpha 1 in March, but I know I had the braver of world's kickstarter package, which is basically access from the earliest alpha. I downloaded the apoc client a while back, but can't actually find any client downloads anywhere.

[desert ivy]

Braver of worlds isn't in yet

Leader of men get in next month

then you

then intrepid pack holders

[terse birch]

Ahh, so it'll probably be in an email I imagine?

[desert ivy]

Ye

[slow sky]

Leader of Men are just getting into Pre-Alpha QA testing

[trail creek]

I have question about ships, this is a insane question but if it works it would be very interesting, would it be possible to turn a ship into shop as well? like have a ship also function as a tavern or to that extent anyway? really interesting if that would be the case for ships being able to be ocean bound shops for those at sea

[crisp holly]

@trail creek We don't really know much about ships but that's a cool idea

[terse birch]

thanks.

[crisp holly]

@trail creek https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Ships

[trail creek]

pravchenki has did good, maybe his boat pub will be a reality...mmm...i go now

[real parrot]

So will we know the release date further down the road like I know there is no final date but I'm saying like 2 years from now will we know a date so that way people can request off from work ect plan vacation ect

[uneven lodge]

Will I be able to buy these Voyager packs after august? Are they a new cosmetic theme with the same rewards of alpha/beta access?

[versed hollow]

@real parrot they will announce a final release day when they know they can hit it

[rough meadow]

Question: Would there be sea monsters and deep sea areas to explore and some kind of underwater dungeon aswell?

[safe canopy]

@real parrot they have said the very latest will be 2024 but no sooner than 2022. It depends how many issues arise in alpha and beta

[trim moon]

@rough meadow Yes, they confirmed it

[real parrot]

Ight along as it's not like oh hey its coming out tomorrow

Lol

[trim moon]

Sea world bosses, dungeons and raids

[real parrot]

Like my job needs 2 weeks of notice

[rough meadow]

Nice, so diving will be a thing^^

[balmy vessel]

Are there information regarding visual progression of skills? Or visual progression in general of your character? I’ve heard about the archetypes, religions that affects your skills in various ways, but will visual on skills change as you get stronger? Or only through archetypes, etc?

[safe canopy]

It's pretty industry standard to announce a month or two in advance

[crisp holly]

@uneven lodge Yes

[onyx knoll]

@balmy vessel gear visual progression will probably be mostly inexistant because of skins/transmog. As for skill visuals, we don't know yet

[patent pier]

@onyx knoll I remember Steven firing shots agains BDO for exactly the same so hopefully that wot be an issue

[uneven lodge]

So i can wait, to buy when i like the cosmetics then yes? @crisp holly

[lilac lion]

yeah

the cosmetics change each month

[balmy vessel]

@onyx knoll oh okay. Thank you!

[lilac lion]

and theyll let you know when the last month to get a alpha package will be

[crisp holly]

@uneven lodge Yep, and they will let us know when they are taking down different shop things

[uneven lodge]

Sick, does anyone have pictures of what was previously available?

[lilac lion]

wiki has all the packs

[onyx knoll]

@patent pier yes, skins that can aquire in game without paying money and that will look very nice will be a thing :)

[lilac lion]

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Voyager_plus_pre-order_pack

@uneven lodge

every single pack should be there

[safe canopy]

@uneven lodge look up March. I am so sad I missed march

[uneven lodge]

aight thanks

[crisp holly]

@safe canopy SAME! 😦

[trim moon]

I think that skins won't be that big of a deal, as the microtransaction shop won't be the main thing for AoC,

[lilac lion]

dw, whoever missed it can come on my boat 😉

[uneven lodge]

shit march is dope...... fuck

[trim moon]

Mostly just smaller stuff for casuals who won't grind the game for transmogs

[safe canopy]

@trim moon that's untrue. He said the stuff you grind for will be on par with cosmetic shop

[flat dragon]

so there will be no "global" auction house? every market is regional and then transferring resources from one region to another will be through caravans?

[trim moon]

@safe canopy yeah, but you can still look good without paying money on skins

[lilac lion]

@flat dragon unless you have a level 6 eco node

no

[trim moon]

which is impossible in games that rely on revenue from microtransactions

[safe canopy]

Yes. But stuff in cosmetic store wont be less cool than what you grind for

[trim moon]

Sure, i get it

[lilac lion]

if you have a level 6 eco node then they will have a shared auction house within the ZOI i believe

[onyx stream]

Have they talked about pvp balancing? Is it a Rock Paper Scissors approach?

[lilac lion]

nothing in too much detail yet

[deep axle]

Have they talked about pvp balancing? Is it a Rock Paper Scissors approach?
@onyx stream as far as i know yes

[crisp holly]

@onyx stream Yes and they will be balancing for 8 people groups

[slow sky]

Pvp as well as everything in ashes will be balanced around groups

So expect 1v1s to be horribly unbalanced lol

[trim moon]

[Question] If i want to transport goods from a inland node on Continent A to another inland node on Continent B, will i have to take a caravan, then a ship, then another caravan?

[lilac lion]

yes

[onyx stream]

I wonder if class or abilities changes would be made focusing pve or pvp. Or a spell would behave differently from pvp to pve

[boreal abyss]

they will not behave differently

[versed hollow]

@onyx stream there will be no differences between PvP and PvE combat

[onyx stream]

Nice

[boreal abyss]

the augment system however might have augments that fits better for PvE and some better for PvP
But this is only an assumption, we know nothing about the augment system details

[trim moon]

Will the world progress be entirely reliant on player action, or the world itself (npcs etc.) will do stuff so that the game doesn't stall?

[boreal abyss]

only player actions

[versed hollow]

@trim moon Player actions will decide what nodes progress over others, and which nodes get torn down

[trim moon]

I worry that if the game relies entirely on large community of players that is constantly acting, the system may break or stall in less active servers

[boreal abyss]

it wont unless the population is so low they'll merge servers instead

[patent pier]

Who do I tlak with to make a Spanish section?

[midnight barn]

How long last alpha??

[slow sky]

How many siege summons can be on the battlefield at once? Would seem kinda one-sides if 20 summoners showed up and could summon like 5 of them at once

[boreal abyss]

@patent pier @plucky pawn

[versed hollow]

@trim moon servers will hold 8-10k people at a time, and they are going to opt for server queues instead of opening more to allow everyone to play, that should help keep populations high

[crisp holly]

@midnight barn we've not been told. As long as it is needed to

[boreal abyss]

@slow sky Can be only summoners as long as just summoners joins afaik

[patent pier]

@boreal abyss thanks!

[oak plume]

With utility skills will you be able to choose 2nd archtypes utility?

[trim moon]

[Question] Does the parent node give any bonus to the vassal nodes in their ZOI?

[patent pier]

@oak plume apparently the secondary archtype is only to enhance your primary archtype, so nont exactly

[trim moon]

Like a parent node being a Metropolis unlock extra content on the vassal nodes near it

[patent pier]

@trim moon not really, but vassal nodes have their own content and are gonna be allies of the parent node

Unless they are doing somethig they havent told us about it

[slow sky]

@boreal abyss that literally does not answer the question asked

[trim moon]

It would make sense for that the parent node would give some sort of bonus right? Would be an incentive to forge alliance and not just destroy everything all the time

[boreal abyss]

You asked how many

[shrewd pendant]

Is there a bank system or other system that allows you to store your items outside of your inventory and not lose them when killed?

[boreal abyss]

I forgot to answer that the group that summons the summon is incapacitated while the summon is alive, aka cannot move, a single squad of rogues = wipe

[patent pier]

@slow sky probably no limit. Its up to the attackers/defennders to balance it out

THeres probably a counter to those

@shrewd pendant yes, the housing system!

[midnight barn]

So it won't last till next phase? I mean say we test alpha1 and is Wipeout an starts alpha2 or we just test what need to be test and than its fixing time and they let us next date for alpha...

Srry for bad eng 😩

[patent pier]

@midnight barn wipe after every Stage of testing

[slate fox]

will dungeon bosses/raid bosses be scripted with mechanics for difficulty or is it gonna be "lots of hp, hit hards=hard fight so just face tank"?

[versed hollow]

@midnight barn in addition to @patent pier Alpha 1 may have wipes during it, but Alpha 2 is persistent, as well as Beta 1 and 2

[lyric glade]

what about player collision?

[midnight barn]

Thx all

[patent pier]

@versed hollow Thanks!

[trim moon]

@shrewd pendant you can store in your housing, but you loose it if the apartment/freehold is destroyed

[patent pier]

Thats why its important to defend your nonde

node*

[trim moon]

@lyric glade there will be player collision, but also an inertia system if the player sits still for too long

[patent pier]

Kind of like Tibia does it

[lyric glade]

collision in mass pvp?

[patent pier]

So no griefing

[versed hollow]

@slate fox Certain bosses will have mechanics that will change depending on certain factors, could be something like how quickly you killed a boss leading up to it, traps you set off or disabled, stuff like that

[patent pier]

yes @lyric glade , but if you keep trying to push people you will go through, so no trapping players

[lean current]

and player characters will be pretty slim, not fat

[slate fox]

THANK GOD so sick of hearing "mechanics are for cars! hur hur" ......freaking so many horrible players in mmos these days

[trim moon]

@lean current would be nice if tanks were thicc boys and just block enemies from passing through

[lean current]

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/File:5000_simulated_players.mp4

I mean, I know theres peeps but god

[slate fox]

lol everyone in AAU BDO and Aion

and really crappy people in FF14

[thorn bison]

Has there been any mention to what happens to freeholds if accounts goes inactive over a long period of time?

[trim moon]

[Question] Can the mayor of a node designate specific roles to ministers/officers or do they have to take the final decision in everything?

@thorn bison Freeholds can be destroyed in sieges, so they won't last longer than the node itself

[versed hollow]

@thorn bison Nothing as of yet, i can see them implementing them degrading over time if you don't maintain them, and if a node gets seiged and destroyed, the freehold can be destroyed as well

[sharp wing]

Freehold user pay a tax. Don't pay the tax. You lose your land

[thorn bison]

Ah great, ty 🙂

[bleak tulip]

(Question) Does the fee that it costs to post something in an auction house go towards the government of that particular city's revenue?

[unborn olive]

I didn't see the options for customizing our ui. Will we be able to have a comprehensive kit of options or use 3-party applications?

[sage plover]

As said by Stephen in the AMA, you can only have one summon (for summoner). Would it be possible that at higher levels you could have more than one summon, but much much weaker?

[amber swan]

[Question] Will there be an option to buy Lifetime Subscriptions again ?

[sharp wing]

[Question] Will there be an option to buy Lifetime Subscriptions again ?
@amber swan nope

[versed hollow]

@unborn olive https://ashesofcreation.wiki/User_interface it's designed to be very customisable

[raven thicket]

About multiboxing, is that when you have multiple accounts open at the same time playing/farming resources? My understanding is you can create multiple characters on a single account so you have the chance to play multiple different types of characters but won't be able to have the different characters open at the same exact time.

@raven thicket correct

[white sequoia]

multiboxing has been designed for one thing only to cheat/and let a player get more resouces than one player would normally...

[dim shuttle]

^

[sly monolith]

argee fck multi boxing imo... should not be allowed in ashes

[white sequoia]

the fact that there is even a discussion is kinda pathetic....

[sharp wing]

While I disagree with that lets not have a discussion here about it haha. keep it to questions

[patent pier]

If me and my GF play on the same wifi, is that multiboxing? and if its not, how would you know that its indeed my gf and ont me?

[lyric glade]

no its not

[patent pier]

@sharp wing true, sorry

[thorn bison]

Freehold user pay a tax. Don't pay the tax. You lose your land
@sharp wing So if a mayor puts the tax at 100%, it could be used to get rid of the "poor"?

[sage plover]

No, not if you have separate accounts

[short iris]

Anyone know if there will be movement acceleration in the game? Meaning, can you change direction without first slowing down and speeding back up?

[deep axle]

If me and my GF play on the same wifi, is that multiboxing? and if its not, how would you know that its indeed my gf and ont me?
@patent pier
this is the problem you can't tell the difference as far as i know

[sharp wing]

@patent pier No, you are on different computers. That is allowed

[versed hollow]

#aoc-discussion leave this channel for questions

[sly monolith]

you can tell difference between 2 pc's

[patent pier]

Yeah, but that is the discussion (that I encourage to continue on #aoc-discussion ), should we allow this?

[sharp wing]

@thorn bison They haven't really explained how it will work exactly. All I know is freeholds will pay a tax

[raven thicket]

Didn't mean to open a discussion sorry, just needed an explanation before answering the survey they put out.

[sage plover]

A big question of mine when it comes to AoC that was somewhat answered in the AMA, how will titles work outside of guild/node wars?

[patent pier]

@sage plover they will play a big role into the actual development of a tow/city

Choosing what buildings to build, setting taxes, etc

[sage plover]

Yes but I mean as in like titles granted from farming mobs or even getting enough efficiency on a certain artisanship?

[patent pier]

It depends on the type of node, warmongering, trading, science and religion

[sage plover]

Ok thanks

[patent pier]

Science: voting, Tradinng: bidding, Warmongering: Champio fights, Religion: Religion system ot yet revealed

[versed hollow]

@sage plover we don't have a lot of info about how titles work, they will likely be rewards for certain achievements within the game. there might be common titles, and rare titles, and title that only one person can have at a time for example

[brave star]

Q:there will be same sex marriages ingame? ill play as girl and i do not want to be married to dude >.<

[steady ocean]

Religion will be "service based" tied in with questing @patent pier and probably other things

[sharp wing]

Q:there will be same sex marriages ingame? ill play as girl and i do not want to be married to dude >.<
@brave star yes

[brave star]

sweet

[patent pier]

@steady ocean Thanks ❤️

[lyric glade]

there will be marriages?

[versed hollow]

yes

[sage plover]

Yes

[brave star]

and families @lyric glade

[versed hollow]

you will be able to have gay marrages too

[brave star]

8 man strong as far as i know

[tough acorn]

I know there will be boob sliders, but will there be butt, and bulge sliders?

[sage plover]

Could be

[brave star]

bulge

[patent pier]

Most likely

[lyric glade]

what are families? Like a little kind of guild?

[brave star]

@lyric glade https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Families

[patent pier]

@lyric glade families have little perks like teleporting to each other

[sage plover]

@lyric glade family’s can be considered like mafias

[steady ocean]

Character customization will be on par or better than BDO, so check out BDO customization to get an idea @tough acorn

[lyric glade]

ty

[tough acorn]

Pog

[fallow bridge]

I'm hearing alot about the combat system having action tageting and tab targeting systems. Will there be two variantions of each ability respectively one action and one tab tagetting?

[worldly copper]

Always been a fan of necromancy in games, I’ve watched the AMA and have a question about this class, and classes in general, will there be specs within classes? To make several player of the same class play differently or will they be mostly the same? And will I as a necromancer be able to have loads of small minions as opposed to one with a specific role as mentioned in the ama

[brave star]

@steady ocean can you play as trap in BDO tho?

[steady ocean]

@fallow bridge no, some are tab and some are action targeting

[warm rune]

what is release date? it will be 2022 correct?

[lyric glade]

in bdo? No

[stark knoll]

Is this game being developed on its own engine or Unreal? It looks like Unreal to me. Curious about scalability since the game has been in development for so long.

[brave star]

@warm rune TBA

[versed hollow]

@lyric glade A family in the game is up to 8 people, you will have a cooldown between leaving one family and joining another, more info at https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Families

[trim moon]

[Question for the Mods] I feel like my previous question wasn't answered. Is there a problem in asking the same question again?

[slow sky]

Estimated fan release date is 2-3years

[patent pier]

@worldly copper So according to Steve, in AoC Necros are masters of life and death, you be a "good" necro and a "evil" necro. That means that one gives lifes and buffs through spirits and the other summon skeletons,zomies and other goodies

[sharp wing]

@stark knoll Unreal 4 with heavy modifications

[versed hollow]

@stark knoll Unreal 4

[steady ocean]

@warm rune https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Release_schedule

[sage plover]

@fallow bridge there will be either 75% tab or an option for 75% action combat

[brave star]

@lyric glade so AoC have space to grow, time to suggest it :>

[fallow bridge]

Thank you for the answers @sage plover @steady ocean

[sage plover]

Np

[lyric glade]

so if i want to create a bearded female dwarf mafia clan it would be better for me to use guild? 8 isn't enough

[patent pier]

@lyric glade precisely

[versed hollow]

@lyric glade yes, use a guild

[warm rune]

thanks everyone who answer to me ˆ^

[patent pier]

Also @worldly copper , Im pretty sure is only onne minion

[stark badge]

Will taunting abilities actually do something in PvP? such as lock their focus onto you to for a period of time?

[worldly copper]

Ah alright, was about to ask that. Thanks!

[lament dagger]

Can't seem to log into the forums. Is there a bug atm?

[brave star]

works for me

[patent pier]

@stark badge not yet known, but other mmos makes the target take a little bit more dmg from the taunter

[steady ocean]

forums are fine for me

[sinful sand]

@lament dagger you have to get a forum Display name before that

[patent pier]

@lament dagger happened to me aswell, just try it again

[lament dagger]

@sinful sand How do i do that?

[patent pier]

@worldly copper np, fellow necro!

@lament dagger on your user page on the main page

[lament dagger]

found it

thank you!

[stark badge]

@patent pier fair enough., thank you would be great to see it useful in PvP situations

[rotund edge]

Is it only me that is unable to log in to forum?

oh

i see - others have the issue

[hearty sky]

will the game have a feature to follow other players ? if there's not, that could limit the use of multi-accounts

[steady ocean]

No

[slow meadow]

no in game follow, no in game macro system

[patent pier]

@rotund edge you have your display name, right? If yes, then just try again in a moment

[bleak tulip]

(Question) Are node types predetermined in respects to their location, or do the founding players for the development of that node have jurisdiction in deciding the purpose for it's specific type? (i.e. the node on the upper coast near the mountains is a scientific node, and was created that way)

[patent pier]

@hearty sky probably not

[uneven lodge]

So no macros at all?

[lament dagger]

hmm i setup the display name but i'm still getting the same problem. "Something went wrong, but we will fix that soon."

[trim moon]

[Question] Can the mayor of a node designate specific functions to officers/ministers, as to help the administration of larger cities?

[patent pier]

@bleak tulip probably pre defined

[crystal beacon]

this might be a question that may have no easy answer but hardware requirements for ashes anyone know them?

[slow meadow]

@uneven lodge

[steady ocean]

Only in combat I believe @trim moon

[hearty sky]

@uneven lodge no macro, no addons, nothing that's not directly done by the game

[patent pier]

@trim moon for now they have only kinda of revealed the combat use

[uneven lodge]

good that shit is lame and cheap

[plush cedar]

(Question) will this game ever be available to everyone or just people who are backing it right now

[versed hollow]

@bleak tulip nodes are set in their position and type, what nodes are where we won't know at the beginning. A scientific node will always be a scientific node, even if it gets destroyed

[steady ocean]

@crystal beacon https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Performance system recommendations for the alpha at least

[patent pier]

@plush cedar fan estimated release is 2022

[brave star]

@slow meadow Do I miss something or there is no problem with ingame macros in WOW?

[rotund edge]

@patent pier hey, yeah I have a display name - I will just try again sometime 🙂

[sinful sand]

@lament dagger I guess @patent pier is right then, servers might be overloading because of the multi boxing stuff

[digital yacht]

@brave star macros are cheats why would u need one press the keys urself

[steady ocean]

Multi-boxers are generally a very small minority

[bleak tulip]

@versed hollow Thank you!

[supple yarrow]

what are the implications of completely disallowing multiboxing?

[digital yacht]

Ur just lazy or u don’t know how to play the game

[patent pier]

@plush cedar so yes, its a sub based game. 15.99 a month

[digital yacht]

14.99$

[lyric glade]

regional prices?

[digital yacht]

Maybe

[crystal beacon]

I knew it lol I need an upgrade on memory thanks tavernside

[patent pier]

@lyric glade we dont know yet

[lyric glade]

k

[brave star]

@digital yacht in wow commands are limited so there no spot for cheat like macros

[versed hollow]

@lyric glade yes, there will be price harmonization

[patent pier]

@versed hollow aah, nice to know

[kind crypt]

So I've been reading the wiki article on taxes and I'm a bit confused. Is it just for housing and auctions? Does it just affect citizens of the node? Does it affect quest and gathering rewards too? Will the rate be displayed anywhere either when I enter the nodes zone or if I initiate a transaction in that node or would it be possible to just get 50% of your money taken without being informed before it happens?

[neat stream]

how much does it cost to upgrade a voyager plus bundle to include a future months stuff?

[slow meadow]

@supple yarrow you cannot stop multiboxing entirely. there is a discussion up on the forums, I put a video up discussing it, but as of right now it is allowed.

[digital yacht]

@versed hollow pls don’t state things that aren’t 100% known Steven never said there would be he said they would look into it

[versed hollow]

@digital yacht except he said it on the recent AMA

[slow meadow]

@brave star intrepid want one button press to equate to one action. with macro systems like wow, you can push one button and have a sequence of things happen (automation) which gets in to botting territory, hence the quote I linked earlier

[steady ocean]

@neat stream You cannot upgrade past the voyager plus. Future packs you will be able to pick and choose what items from that pack you want instead of needing to buy full packs.

[supple yarrow]

@slow meadow i know , im just interested in implications like can ppl from the same home/ip still play at the same time

[patent pier]

@supple yarrow that is one of the reasons they are allowing it with no macros whatsoever

[neat stream]

how much would that cost to buy augusts cosmetics?

[patent pier]

@neat stream we dont know yet

[digital yacht]

He never said hey guys u are getting regional pricing! He said they would have to look into bc the way it works is not the same

[slow meadow]

@supple yarrow if they tried to IP limit, multiboxers would just use VPNs and you would be preventing families or mulit person households from playing. So no real impact too mulitboxing by trying to limit on IP

[digital yacht]

@neat stream cosmetics are the same each month

[brave star]

@slow meadow no? 1 press = 1 skill. unless you make something like macro that makes character use skill + say eg. "using xxx on %target"

[lament dagger]

@slow meadow i know , im just interested in implications like can ppl from the same home/ip still play at the same time
@supple yarrow

Same, as there's 3 people in my household who all plan on playing.

[steady ocean]

@neat stream If you have the voyager plus pack, you can pick and choose which cosmetics you want, so it will depend on the price of the individual cosmetics you like

[slow meadow]

@lament dagger they are not currently planning to IP limit. The only limit they have stated is no more than one instance of the game running on a single computer at a time.

[bleak tulip]

[Last Question(s)] Does the fee that a player must pay to post an item to a city's auction house go towards that respective city's governmental revenue? If it does, then my follow up question would be, is the fee for posting items to the auction based on a market price percentage, or is it a flat rate?

[steady ocean]

It's a flat rate determined by the town's mayor @bleak tulip

a flat % that is

[patent pier]

@bleak tulip So yes, it would go to the goverment treasury. The tax amount is determined by the mayor of the node

[bleak tulip]

@patent pier @steady ocean Thanks!

[neat stream]

well i am a bit confused. i can understand most of what u gguys say but, i wanted to buy the 375$ this month but i was worried a future month stuff would be nice (for example, lets say i literally bought julys full bundle for 375$ how much would it cost in august to buy literally all of the cosmetics they release)?

[lament dagger]

@slow meadow Ya i cant imagine they'd do IP limits since it would create that problem.

[patent pier]

@neat stream They havent released the prices for sinngular skins that might come in the next months

[neat stream]

what has it been in the past?

[patent pier]

Its not yet implemented

[neat stream]

like how much was july's cosmetics for someone who bought junes

[patent pier]

So you cant do it yet

[neat stream]

really?

[patent pier]

Yes

Sadly

[slow sky]

Xetnal thats false info

[neat stream]

thats a really shitty way to do it imo

[versed hollow]

@digital yacht I've literally gona back and he says "this is something we are going to do for ashes of creation" he gives the example that a brazilian player would only be paying the harmonized price if they are playing on a brazilian server

[valid steeple]

@steady ocean does it mean that level 1 players will be running the same level cosmetics as the end game ones?

[patent pier]

Oh no!

[slow meadow]

@neat stream here is the price of the current cosmetics individually after already having a package. next months should be similar

[patent pier]

Thanks guys and sry @neat stream !

[steady ocean]

@neat stream Once you buy a pack, that means that all future packs at that pack tier and lower you can buy the individual cosmetics without needing to buy the entire pack. Since voyager plus is the highest tier, you won't have to buy full packs in the future that may include things like game time, shop currency, etc. Instead, you can simply buy the individual cosmetcs you like. Does that make sense?

[patent pier]

I understood it wrong

[neat stream]

ohhh ty

[slow sky]

After you purchase a pre-order pack you can buy the cosmetics of the next months pack that is equal to the pack you bought

[neat stream]

no worries @patent pier ty for trying

this is much better i appreciate the answers all

[lament dagger]

ya they're lucky they have such a good community to help everyone figure stuff out like the shop XD

[serene dock]

How punishing will the game be if you stop playing for say a month?

[steady ocean]

@valid steeple Only cosmetics that are bought via the website shop. There are plenty of looks in game that will come from legendary weapons/armor

[umbral laurel]

are you allowed to buy cosmetics from a higher tier package once you have purchased one? IE the $250 pack purchased, but you want the caravan/house cosmetic, can you just buy that?

[slow meadow]

no only at your tier

[lament dagger]

@serene dock probably will depend on a lot of things...

[neat stream]

if alpha 2 is out could i buy a voyager plus bundle while alpha 2 is out and stil lget access or is access for alpha 2 locked to people who bought the bundle before the launch of alpha 2 (i prob worded this wrong sorry)

[patent pier]

@serene dock if you dont pay taxes for your freehold, you lose the freehold for example

[serene dock]

I mean assume the worst

[sinful sand]

@serene dock I'm not sure, I'd say that on a pure character progression, probably not very punishing, but if you're aiming to be the #1 artisan of the server, probably not good

[serene dock]

Oh i see okat

[steady ocean]

@serene dock It will be punishing in that each server will develop independently, so if you leave for a month you will miss out on the developing story of your server. Nodes will develop, people will be accruing wealth and prestige. You will be able to catch up though

[lament dagger]

I mean, the world around you might not be the same when you come back hehe

[vast cove]

any other have issues loging in on homepage?

[valid steeple]

@steady ocean I know, but assuming a lot of people buy cosmetics in the shop, the visual progression of MMORPG will be gone, right?

[lament dagger]

I'm having issues signing into forums, not homepage.

[unreal zealot]

will taxes increase with the more buildings and or high quality blue prints for buildings you use?

[slow meadow]

@neat stream if a pack is available that advertises alpha 2 access you will get that access. they will give plenty of notice before pulling alpha 2 access as well.

[onyx sentinel]

is there a way to up which preorder i get? i am currently getting into alpha 2 but didnt know if there was a way to pay difference into alpha 1? Thanks in advance!

[slow meadow]

@onyx sentinel no current way to get access to alpha 1

[steady ocean]

@valid steeple No, visual progression isn't tied to shop cosmetics. If everyone wears the same cosmetic from the shop, I would consider that a base tier cosmetic compared with a legendary weapon skin from a raid boss.

[patent pier]

@lament dagger the forums are probably overloaded with the recent poll

[neat stream]

ok so i could wait to buy voyager plus till they either announce pulling or until i see some skins im super excited for

[onyx sentinel]

ok thanks sk much @slow meadow

[neat stream]

is there anyway to see if a name is reserved already or not ive been heavily considering trying to reservemy name but im nervous of spending 375$ and not getting it

[steady ocean]

Names have not been reserved yet as far as I am aware.

[sinful sand]

@neat stream I don't think name reservation are opened yet

[slow meadow]

@neat stream name reservations haven't happened. they will occur closer to launch

[neat stream]

i was under the impressions alpha 11 feature name reserves?

i coulda sworn i read that

[high ledge]

is there an inventory weight system where each item has a weight value and you've got a strength stat that determines your max carry weight before getting movement debuffs? im hoping not for trash items from grinding / gathering

[steady ocean]

Also remember, name reservations are character & server specific. So if someone gets your name on server 1, on server 2 you could still get that name. According to what we know currently.

[lament dagger]

@neat stream if so, i think alpha hasnt officially started. not entirely sure.

[steady ocean]

Name reservations will begin during Alpha-1

[patent pier]

Alpha 1 hasnt started

[cinder shadow]

will there be player made caravans that can travel between nodes, and if there are, can they be automated, and can they be attacked?

[neat stream]

ahh

[patent pier]

Yes @cinder shadow

[neat stream]

i dont have access to alpha 1 sadly

[patent pier]

You can attack them

[steady ocean]

There will be @cinder shadow and they can be attacked. You cannot automate player caravans

[neat stream]

is against server rules to ask to negotiate with someone to pay them to reserve my name for me?

[rancid sigil]

not that i particularly care or anything, but does anyone know why the comment i just posted on the multiboxing thread may have been deleted?

[slow meadow]

@high ledge inventory will be limited, see here for specifics https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Inventory

[trim moon]

[Question] I know they wont allow any sort of RMT, but will this apply to any sort of payment or funding for in-game services?
I imagine that many guild leaders that manage Metropolis' and Castles will need to no-life play the game. So like, could the guild raise funds from their members to sustain the leaders that are just playing 24/7?

[jagged shard]

Unable to login to forums at present is there a fault or something wrong with my account?

[steady ocean]

@neat stream Names are tied to a person's character & account, so it wouldn't do anything for you as it would be their character and not yours

[quasi atlas]

Is the game going to be demanding on my graphics card and memory?

[cinder shadow]

ok, i knew about the ability to "join" a public event where a caravan is attaacked and you can choose to be an attacker or a defender but i didn't know if the caravans in question are player made

[neat stream]

but they could hold the name for me

[patent pier]

@jagged shard forums are probably overloaded by the recent poll

[neat stream]

and delete character once im in

[jagged shard]

@patent pier ok m8 thanks 🙂

[steady ocean]

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Performance @quasi atlas current system recommendations for alpha testers, could change for the actual release

[patent pier]

@quasi atlas We dont know exactly, but there are some Planetside 2 devs working on Ashes and PS2 had amazing performance even with massive battles

[neat stream]

is there anyone here with alpha 1 access whod be willing to hold a name for me i could pay u

[torpid musk]

What am i doing wrong? When I click login in the forum It ask me to make an account, but when I click register, it put me into my ashesofcreation.com profile?

[steady ocean]

@neat stream Real world trading for in game services is generally not allowed in games

[tawny sonnet]

is the chance to get alpha 1 access completely done or is there still a way to get it? and will there be another opportunity to play apoc because i completely missed that because i didnt knew about the game at that point

[trim moon]

@neat stream why tf would you pay money for a name?

[quasi atlas]

Looks like it's time to upgrade my PC. Thanks!

[high ledge]

@slow meadow thanks 🙂 seems like inventory space will be a little similar to wow with bags and stuff

[steady ocean]

@tawny sonnet Not currently able to get Alpha 1 access, and they may release APOC again to test out castle sieges, but not confirmed yet

[rancid sigil]

thats kinda a dumb question el ngl
