if i get Voyager Pre-Order Package can i buy next months skins and if so can i get skins from the Voyager Plus like the player skins

There will be weapon sheathing
Weapons will be displayed on your character when not in use. Currently not in game, is quality of life issue, not critical, but planned.

if i buy a Voyager Plus Pre-Order Pack when do i receive the ingame time? on official release or does it start when i buy it? or wot?
white sequoia
it starts from when you login for the first time when servers go live.... considering it could be late 2021/2022 before the game is even ready as far as i know there is no set release date yet
@outer tree

no alpha does not count or beta

does the pre-order pack cosmetics change every month?
so if i buy the july2020 one it becomes exclusive
and only people who bought it in july 2020 can get it?
versed hollow
@outer tree unless those cosmetics come back again, yes that is the case

when did the first pack come out?
ruby swift
And of course those who are Kickstarters, or people who have purchased previous packs can buy the cosmetics individually.

what month

May 2017 was Kickstarter and the first wave of cosmetics. The complete list is on the wiki.

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Backpacks trying to understand what this refers to for the player... surely one backpack (not referring to Quality of slot amount) would allow any items in it but the article states you have different backpacks for things... does that mean I have to go back to my house to equip a certain type ?

any of the bundles that were in sell will ever be back in sale?
versed hollow
@white sequoia Backpacks are how you expand your characters inventory space, kinda like WoW does it. you will be able to hide the backpack model if you really want to as well
white sequoia
its more about what i can store not the show hide function it made it sound like i can only put x items in the gathering bag vrs a "normal" backpack etc
versed hollow
yes, so the example of gatherables Vs consumables and items. There will be a specific backpack that herb, ores, wood etc will go into, and then a different backpack for monster drops
white sequoia
so can u have both on your back at the same time.....
versed hollow
it looks like you will be able to have a backpack on one of your back slots, and another on your belt (hip) slot. so you could potentially have 2 gatherers backpacks, or 1 gatherer 1 adventurers, or 2 adventurers
white sequoia
if thats the case then that would be fine, would hate to think i need to return to x location to equip one then go back out cheers for answer

Guys I have heard that you are able to play on a combat-less class who only does professions? Firstly, is this true? Secondly, how would this work?

@random pilot for pvp, there isn't different gear or stat changes compared to PvE. it's unknown if they are going to "standardise" arenas or battlegrounds
@frank granite you can focus 100% on artisan skills if you want, however, combat may be required to defend yourself against monsters if you were, for example, gathering metal ore in a dungeon

is there a self defense system, like, if you were to get attacked first and then you hit back and kill him, will your corruption go up ?
@dreamy harbor You won't gain corruption if you kill in self-defence
versed hollow
@dreamy harbor if you're not flagged, you will not get corruption. if someone attacks you, they are flagged, and you are able to flag back to kill them. when 2 flagged players fight, there is no corruption
only if a flagged player kills a non flagged player, does corruption happen
dreamy harbor
but what if you're green and a combatant attacks you and you kill him, do you become a combatant too ? or is the system long term, as in, you have to kill more than once for it to go up?
full badger
As soon as you fight back you become a combatant
versed hollow
If a non-combatant attacks a corrupt player, the non-combatant will not flag as a combatant.
but if they're not corrupt you have to flag to attack them

Combatants arent a bad thing, if you die as one you loss less than being a non combatant
strong void
@idle siren What's your thoughts on PvE balance at skill-capped level, in terms of dps?
As in, do you think all classes should deal roughly the same dps given that they use the perfection rotation of spells?
Also, will there be a built-in dmg meter? Please say yes. A dmg meter is insanely valuable in terms of weeding out the baddies
cunning walrus
Whis Jahlon such a nice guy?
full badger
@strong void
- Pinging Steven won't do anything, he probably won't respond
- Class balance will be done based on the group, so it's unlikely that every class will do the same dps in a fight
- There will be no dps meter or addons allowed in Ashes

There will not be a dmg meter? Then how are you even supposed to min max, or tell a good player from a bad one, or know if you yourself is doing well?
And I was so hyped for this game as well. Not gonna play wihtout dmg meter
full badger
You'll have to figure that out on your own. Steven doesn't like addons of any kind, and he's the boss so there will be no addons
sinful sand
I'm not sure how I feel about this. I like dps meters to be able to get better and to feel if I'm better than the rest of my group (dps-wise), but at the same time I think dps meters are a cancer for fun
There won't be addons, but perhaps we'll have sort of an internal combat log with charts and numbers ?

Yeah exactly

tough sierra
Is there ever a reset for node xp or could one person, if given enough time and undisturbed, level a node to level 6?
full badger
We don't know, but I doubt it because a single person wouldn't be able to keep up with the maintenance for a node on their own
versed hollow
@tough sierra nodes will be limited by their neighbours, getting to a lvl 6 node is going to take a loooooong time, so 1 person doing it isn't really going to happen
tough sierra
But theoretically

@tough sierra this is the current estimate for time frame

hi, will there be a [non-tradable] farmable game-time token?
i searched here and there but there were no definite answer for what i want.
it was mentioned that there will not e tradable stuff from cash shop which is i see as a good thing tbh
what i want is non-tradable and maybe even limited (1 per month for example) token, because 15$ may not seem like a lot to you but due to exchange rates in my country,its quite a sum, i would not be able to continue playing wow if it was not because of wow tokens.
(i know he mentioned lower prices for region locked servers but that wont work me because i want to play with my friends on other countries and also join bigger guilds)
full badger
@fallen jetty There won't be a WoW Token equivalent for Ashes
lost loom
Would it be possible to get someone into combatant state by simply walking into an AOE that they cast?
fallen jetty
@full badger but what i asked for is not equivalent to wow token, because it is not tradable, can even work as a good money sink
full badger
@fallen jetty I agree, but Steven doesn't want anything like that in the game, so it won't be in the game
oak depot
I'm just getting all caught up with all the AoC info, but I didn't see in any AMA or interview thus far what the plan is regarding how parties made up of largely level-divergent members would play like (or even be allowed/make-sense). I tend to play with my friends a lot but we also have different time-quantity availability so some of them tend to play a lot more than others. If after a week of playing some of our group is 10 or 20 levels higher than the rest, will we still be able to effectively play together?

@full badger sry, if i keep repeating myself, but its kinda my only hope to be able to play it continuously with my friends :)

Haven't said anything about that @oak depot
XP gained from monster are divided by the number of characters in the party, but a modifier is applied in order to help parties gain XP. Around *1.4 for a full party

I know @simple ether and a few others have said that US preorder packs should transfer to EU servers, including all the cosmetics and such. I hate that it's my.games as the EU publisher, and how they are already showing they aren't up to the task by having the preorder system be broken on their site.
My question is, any chance we can keep using the Intrepid store/account and just play on the EU servers with that? I am guessing not, but I'd be happy to even pay a little more (VAT and such) for that option.

Now I discovered that theres this special EU site: https://aocreation.com/en#home and I wondered: Why? Is it just to specifically advertise the game in eu?

@lost sentinel sure, APIs exist. But it basically makes the program "spyware". See https://wowwiki.fandom.com/wiki/Warden_(software). The concern is "if a program scans what else is running on my computer, how is my privacy protected (or violated)?"

what's the interaction of being attacked by a player while fighting NPC mobs in the world? Example: I am fighting NPCs and someone attacks me and I:
a) don't fight back but use AoE to continue killing NPCs... said combatant walks into my AoE.. do I get flagged as a combatant now or do I need to do a direct hit against the attacking player to become a combatant?
b) the attacking player attacks me and brings me down to low health but does not kill me... instead he lets the NPC mobs finish me off.. does the attacking player still get Corruption?
slow sky
A) you will become a flagged combatant as the aoe will still hit the aggressive player
B) they wont know your exact health but for scenario sakes they will not accumulate Corruption for your death.
onyx knoll
A) no, you need to flag up yourself or do direct attacks, you AoE woll not dmg other players if you are non-combatant
Risen, that is incorrect, aoe attacks do not flag you
versed hollow
@oak depot if you are a non-combatant, you will not be able to attack anyone else with the exception of corrupted players. There will be a toggle in the options for auto flagging when you attack or heal another player. https://ashesofcreation.wiki/PvP#Player_flagging
onyx knoll
B) i believe this question is still in testing, they're gona try it both way during alpha and see what feels best

Will mobs throughout the world have the usual generic mob names? For example if you see a bear in the woods will it have a floating name above it's head that says "Starved Grizzly" or something similar, or will we only see basic mob information like level?
onyx knoll
Mh, not sure about that Victis, you can check the dev footage to see what its like atm but it might still change since the UI is a work in progress
south silo
Gotcha. Thanks @onyx knoll
oak depot
Well depending on answer to B) it could become a griefing tactic... just bring players down that are fighting mobs but don't kill them... (sure it might be fuzzy to judge their health but you can estimate). Let mobs finish them off. I believe when you die even to mobs you lose some of your gathered/processed goods, no? The attacking player that got no corruption potentially can pick up your dropped goods.

@rapid torrent death while corrupted causes you to lose corruption, so dying over and over is a legit way to remove corruption
rapid torrent
People attack well known people in games without drops all the time
silk oracle
@hollow token Theres Always loot drop on death, corrupted can drop gear too

and so many people may do so corruption won't matter much when its someone different every time

@rapid torrent additionally items won't drop because you have corruption, they will drop because you have HIGH corruption

since its going to be open world PVP if a streamer is being farmed "because its funny" would it be considered griefing? or stream sniping and is it going to be against tos?

@keen ice there is durability, yea. You need crafters to repair your gear (players), and you need materials not just gold

@silk oracle raw materials yes, but not items
silk oracle
@keen ice and then they declare themselves KoS
@versed hollow raw materials are items to me but k

Besides, I'm not particularly concerned about streamers being targeted, because they will also have the benefit of their audience voting them as mayor or running around as a zerg.

The corruption system is what is used to discourage people from farming other players
rapid torrent
A good example yes @keen ice I'm worried certain people who become famous/infamous in the community could get chased out simply for being known
keen ice
@onyx knoll thanks. Hopefully the amount of durability decrease per activity is not alot. In FF14 running 3 dungeons and durability is already below 50% for all gear
rapid torrent
Imagine if zezima in runescape could have been freely pvpd back in the day
burnt island
How much is the reduction in dropped resources when you are Pked if you fight back? As I understand it, a level 50 non-combatant can attack a level 5 non-combatant who is gravid with resources, kill the lowly 5 and loot the resources. What is the difference in drop vs not fighting back?
versed hollow
@burnt island half of a normal death
lost sentinel
It won't take long for people to start referring to scientific nodes as "streamer nodes", I guarantee it.
onyx knoll
@keen ice they'll be testing the durability during alpha and try to find a good balance :)
slow sky
It’ll be fun to siege a “streamer” node
burnt island
So, if I have 1000 of a resource and am PKed. I drop 500 if I fight back and 1000 if I don't?
rapid torrent
I feel like this streamer node thing reinforces my thoughts on prolific people being chased out of the game, everyone keeps saying corruption but that won't stop anything if its different people attacking them every time.
silk oracle
@burnt island https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Player_death
keen ice
the more its discussed the more im turned off by the idea of open world PVP. I agree its going to be a good feature since there is the corruption mechanic and bounty hunters to discourage it. But being a pker in osrs ive had my fair share of griefers and being a griefer. 100% guarantee there is going to be a guild dedicated to this activity purely for the act of defying corruption mechanic
versed hollow
onyx knoll
@burnt island we dont know of it'll be 50% base or less but thats the general idea yeah
burnt island
@silk oracle That page does not specify the percentages of drop on death, which is the most important aspect
silk oracle
@burnt island if the wiki doesn't contain something; we don't know it
versed hollow
@burnt island the exact numbers are not known at this point in time
burnt island
It determines whether it will be profitable for PKers to constantly gank low level gatherers
rapid torrent
I'm not opposed to the idea of open world pvp but I think there should be if there isn't already a system that if someone get targeted too many times in a certain window of time they give more corruption each time until they die giving higher levels of it
oak depot
you will drop 50% less if you fight back, but if you fight back the attacker will not be flagged as corrupted if they kill you. So honestly... if they are much higher level, you are better off not fighting back and loosing more loot b/c when you re-spawn they can just kill you again...
onyx knoll
@keen ice there prob be will be some ppl that pk for the sake of pk, if it's something you feel will be a big problem for your own enjoyement of the game then this might not be the mmo for you, which is quite alright :) i recommend you keep an eye on the alpha and beta, since there will be no NDA, so you can see how things evolve and what the athmosphere of the game is before you decide if you wana invest
burnt island
@oak depot Yes, do they then get half of the half you had left? Is there nay diminishing returns mechanism or any sort of PK timer?
crisp holly
@oak depot youd want to fight back even against a high level if you were gathering rare material and wanted to lose less
keen ice
oh yeah nah im going to buy the $375 pack and 100% going to be PKing. in all mmos ive played the most enjoyment i get is out of pvp against players and difficult raids/dungeons/battles instead of just farming ai mobs doing professions
regal anvil
50% is a lot. corrupt players lose 4x that of normal players so i think it has to be a lower number
versed hollow
Corrupted player experience "dampening" in pvp that increases in effect as they gain more corruption, effectively making them useless in PvP if they kill too much. The exception is when corrupted players fight against bounty hunters.
oak depot
@crisp holly sure, but then they don't get corrupted. and you lose 50% less, but then they kill you again... and again.. you lose more materials each time you die. If you continue to fight back they never get corrupted
burnt island
A PK would start as non-combatant, loot a gatherer, get corrupted, sneak off to his secluded spot to work off the corruption, then rinse repeat
versed hollow
@regal anvil actual numbers are unknown, they were likely using it as an example
keen ice
bounty hunters dont get flagged when they target a corrupted player right? even if they are the first to initialise combat? Is Bounty hunter going to be a profession or some sort of toggle to identify you as such?
versed hollow
@burnt island at that point, it would be more profitable to just gather yourself
Anyway, we're getting way off topic, continue in #aoc-discussion

Question about cosmetics. I know it has been stated in the past that cosmetics are purchasable only for a limited time, and not brought back. But if there was a sizable enough mass of people who want the opportunity to purchase them again (in my case, I missed out on the protector cosmetics because I didn't have enough cash at the time), would Intrepid consider putting them on some sort of rotation?
crisp holly
@oak depot you don't respawn right where you died so yeah, if you have the bad luck of someone targeting you that much it won't be fun right then but that's also a reason to be with friends who can help you while out in this dangerous world
burnt island
@versed hollow That is my basic question. Without the real numbers, it is impossible to determine if the system will actually fundamentally discourage ganking
storm raptor
@burnt island pk players will appear in the map
onyx knoll
@gray star i wouldnt hold my breath, but maybe, who knows
burnt island
@storm raptor But only if their corruption is at a certain level, right? Or is it any corruption at all?
oak depot
@crisp holly okay, so do you respawn at a grave-yard? Is a grave-yard special zone that prevents combatants from entering and waiting there?
keen ice
To add to Blip's questions are cosmetics going to be tradeable? Ive heard mentions there is going to be trading in the game?
versed hollow
@keen ice cosmetics will NOT be tradeable
onyx knoll
@oak depot there will be respawn points throughout the world, no corpse running like in WoW
I dont think those zones will protect you from pvp but they said you would respawn at random spots so people cant farm a specific individual at a respawn point
storm raptor
@burnt island yea, when you get certain lvl but i we dont know how much corruption its needed
burnt island
@storm raptor Thanks
gray star
@onyx knoll any hope is better than no hope 🙂
And ultimately, it's win-win. Intrepid get more cash, the players get cosmetics
versed hollow
@gray star It's been confirmed that anything from the cash shop will NOT be tradeable.
"All cosmetic store items will be non-tradeable. There will be no gifting mechanism for cosmetic items."
https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Cosmetic_store

@versed hollow I made no mention of trading cosmetics

No worries 🙂

have they mentioned any system/strategy they are thinking of adopting to prevent real world trading? this always ruins a lot of mmos
warm prism
Is there a known benefit to doubling down on the same class as your archetype for Secondary classes?
chilly hedge
@burnt island unless you're ganking a caravan or sieging a city or killing a corrupted player, killing players does not gain you anything
versed hollow
@keen ice they will have active GM's in game, so if they ass anyone advertising, they will be able to quickly deal with them. General bot detection work to remove gold farmers as well
gray star
@warm prism surely it boosts the primary function of the main class?
versed hollow
@warm prism going Tank + Tank could boost your tanking abilities, but you could have less utility compared to other combinations. We will know more about this when testing happens
warm prism
@versed hollow @gray star Makes sense. Lots of choice in the game is cool.
gray star
@warm prism will be going full healer, throwing out them bandaids like candy. So Cleric/Cleric
regal anvil
when guarding a caravan, how will the hiring/payment work? will i have to ask the owner for a handout at the end, or will there be a reward at the end giving like how a quest works?
chilly hedge
I don't think there's any formality planned around guarding besides you yourself flagging yourself as a guard
So you'd have to figure your employment out with whoever is putting the caravan together
versed hollow
@regal anvil exact systems aren't in place yet, but you could recieve things like increased reputation with nodes, monetary reward from the destination node, etc
gentle rune
i think guarding will be different depending on if its a node based caravan or a personal one

Hi guys, new here. I got a question about the Enchanter class combination (Summoner/Bard).I've heard and read that the augment will make the primary class play a lot different, such as the Necromancer gaining specific summons such as skeleton, abominations and such

@dusty ferry Does "shaman" count?

I don't think so. Shaman and Scion are the only ones I could see being close

I making a close comparison to WoW/Diablo in terms and Shaman would align with Shaman to me, but probably a bad comparison.

What's the current knowledge on Guild Leadership changes- specifically when your guild holds a Castle, or other objective?
golden shoal
my question is: how am i protected by beeing scamed ingame?
for example i got all materials for the gear i want and i found a player with the profession to craft the gear. so i do have to give him all the materials he needs in order to get my gear but why shouldnt he scam me right away?
shut robin
I'm abit confused about the corruption system. Will there be anything positive about PK another same level player? Like if they are griefing a rotation etc. do you become coruppted instant?
whole dawn
scamming is a part of the game, but i think theres a way to get someone to craft something for you without u giving them the materials
fickle hawk
dont forget that how the profesion system works and node system also mean if ur a master artisan ur reputation is ur price
so scammers can only excist en then are basicly done
so by the way the game works and limits proffesions it disables scammers
or atleast limits them
whole dawn
there will always be doubler scammers

@plucky pawn hi, im getting this login error since I logged off from aoc forum like 2 days ago. I never got this before... its not related to username/pass, already changed it
onyx knoll
@shut robin the game doesnt reaward you killing someone who isn't flagged, since being corrupted is pretty penalising, however you do get a portion of the materials and processed good the person was carrying when you kill them
golden shoal
@whole dawn but the thing is cant master every profession and i guess u do have to master the smithing for the best gear available and if i am not going for smithing myself i have to trust a lot of smiths out there but i do not trust other players at all so i kinda want to be protected by the game itself
shut robin
is there a guild wars system? so 1 guild can declare war on another for free PK?
ashen orchid
@golden shoal I am pretty sure that Steven has said that they won't be limiting or penalizing scammers as that is part of the gameplay. You will have to put a little trust in people, but you could also do things to mitigate that, by say doing business with crafters you know and have worked with before. If you aren't sure about them ask for some material or item of equal value to hold while they craft to compensate loses.
ashen orchid
@shut robin Yes, if you are in a guild war, or node war, you will auto flag for the opposing players.
shut robin

I know these were probably answered a million times so I'm really sorry for asking it again but
**1) **I've noticed the game has ship building crafting profession. Does it mean we'll be actually able to use ships? Perhaps have naval combat and such?
**2) **Will there actually be any meaningful story to the quests in the game? Story choices, perhaps voice acting etc?
**3) **Will there be any sort of an "outfit designer"? You know something like Transmog in wow for example 🙂

lament delta
Do we know much about plans for hidden equipment stats in Ashes?
Is it going to be same as in BDO, where actual effects of equipment are hidden and a lot of stats are vague and abstract?
I know Steven said he doesn't want people being judged by their equipment, but I really hope he meant something else, because making different peculiar stat builds and fine-tuning them with a calculator is a big fun, and hiding stats is simplifying that and leads to everyone just rushing for "rarer" stuff assuming that it will naturally be better (like in BDO...) and no real option to even try to stray away from that path.

How many character slots will we have per account? My concern is around choosing a primary and then type and being locked in to the primary. One thing I've really liked about Albion Online for example, is the "your class/role is what you wear" thing. It would be unfortunate to lvl up a character and then being locked in (name included) and not be able to change the role that character plays.

@visual heart Stats are initially set by race and your Primary class determines your stat increases.

@void pasture In that same wiki is some class stuff. Ranger currently does only have special skills for bow. Not crossbow. Subject to change though.

is it safe to assume that the wiki will contain extensive detail on the 64 class variations, their playstyles, and possibly even game play footage of each?

@atomic ridge If your node is seiged and destroyed, your freehold could be raided.

@daring sorrel I don't think that has been touched on. But I would hazard to guess if the node is destroyed you lose everything. But maybe @dark jungle knows better.
onyx knoll
@daring sorrel we dont have exact numbers on the drop % yet, but you will be keeping a portion
boreal abyss
You lose any resources stored in that Node yes
cause those will be looted by the enemy
dark jungle
@daring sorrel @sharp wing we dont know the exact proportions yet. they will be tuning those numbers during testing
lofty verge
I think he was just giving those numbers as an example
daring sorrel
Man, that's the only thing I'm really concerned about. I hate systems like Rust where you can lose all your materials just like that
Some, sure, gotta be risk
But everything, ouch
sharp wing
@daring sorrel If it is everything you would have ample time to move valuables out.
pale glade
Not sure if someone asked, but here it goes: Steven said that node can launch wars against other nodes. Does it mean that if me and my guildies are citizens off different nodes we would be at war between us?
fickle hawk
everything in the node
u can still store in ur house and defend that if its a freehold
mellow widget
Does anyone know if there are any posts or videos where someone talks about in-game transparency? I know that in the recent AMA Steven talked about out-of-game transparency. I made a post of the forums (https://forums.ashesofcreation.com/discussion/45155/regarding-transparency-in-and-out-of-game#latest), but no one really seemed to have any ideas about the subject.
daring sorrel
@sharp wing Nah, he specifically said once a siege is declared, warehouses are locked
boreal abyss
@crystal beacon they had a camera swap system last they mentioned it
dark jungle
@daring sorrel agreed, steven has echoed the same thing. Its not about total loss making you want to quit the game but it is about risk
daring sorrel
So you cant just withdraw everything
boreal abyss
@fickle hawk except your Freehold can also be looted after a successful raid
if enemies attack it
simple pecan
Hmm, if it says freeholds are only open to attack after a successful siege, it seems they should be safe DURING a siege?
wise steppe
@daring sorrel Fwiw the more developed the town the harder it'll be to seige. I imagine the earliest settlements will become the most hardened settlements
boreal abyss
Yes only after a successful siege
sharp wing
@daring sorrel I understand about warehouses. But other things I think you will be able to withdraw from.
fickle hawk
yea ok but u can still defend after node is destoyed
and thats only mats not completed items
simple pecan
Can't do much to defend as one versus an army.
versed hollow
@simple pecan yes, safe during the siege, but if the node falls, then can raid them
You won't lose everything, only a portion of what was there
daring sorrel
@dark jungle That's good to hear. Risk is good, but I can see myself being a material grinder, probably the first of the three stages type of player, so losing everything would really suck xD
fickle hawk
then u need to spread risk
simple pecan
Hoping more information comes out on how the market will work. Selling items in town and such. Hopefully there will be a way to sell items without being present. Adding them to a shop or something. Some AH-like system, perhaps.
azure knot
forum login still doesnt work after whole day? 
fickle hawk
and rent store
sharp wing
@pale glade Thats a good question and we haven't been given an answer. But I believe the node > guild.
fickle hawk
and economic nodes have ah system
boreal abyss
@simple pecan tehre won't
Unless you are in a Economic Metro
Then you can buy over a distance, HOWEVER, you still need to travel there to pick the stuff up
fickle hawk
@azure knot have u set a forum name
versed hollow
@fickle hawk economic nodes do indeed have auction houses, however, only a stage 6 economic node will link them all together
simple pecan
If one needs to rent a store in town, that will likely just not happen for most people since they're trying to make money and not spend as much as they might make on the store rent. Freehold profits seem unlikely since people will not wander to all freeholds looking for goods. I hope you can add items to an existing shop or system in town.
azure knot
@fickle hawk yea, still got "Something went wrong, but we will fix that soon."
boreal abyss
@simple pecan you can own shops and stalls in cities where you can sell stuff
versed hollow
@azure knot #web-maintenance they are having issues with it right now
azure knot
yeah, for past 24h 😄
fickle hawk
@versed hollow u can still build a store on freehold without economic node
silent island
Why is the aoc discussion getting toxic?
versed hollow
@fickle hawk yes, i was just expanding on the AH stuff
simple pecan
Gonna have to save up a tonne of raw mats to make renting a shop worth it. Concerning.
boreal abyss
@silent island Keep this channel relevant to Q&A about the game
DO NOTE
AH in economic nodes can buy over a distance, but you still ahve to travel to the node where it was sold to pick it up
It won't end up in the same Node you're in unless it is sold there

Alpha for the mmo
umbral kestrel
Ohh okaay

I thought Apoc was no longer a thing.

Apoc is no longer a thing. Unless they make it a thing

Any timeframe how long alpha 1 Will be
slow sky
As long as they need it to be
junior pagoda
just focus on the mmo!, screw battle royal
slow sky
Apoc comes back around for sieges
old dune
I believe the BR is to test combat for data for the main game
umbral kestrel
Well the battle royale uses the mmo models etc so no real developing needed, actually exelent place to test and balance pvp
sharp wing
APOC is not coming back unless they need it too. Along with the castle sieges.
junior pagoda
well that is if they use classes
echo dew
just focus on the mmo!, screw battle royal
@junior pagoda the battle royale is designed to improve the mmo
slow sky
Apoc IS coming back this is already confirmed
sharp wing
This is the current timeline. All the remaining tests on this list are for the MMO only.
@slow sky Link please?

@frozen tartan I dont think so btw, making a huge engine takes a lot of work. It would probably set the game back 1 year atleast

true sand
i have a question regarding the referral program, i saw you can redeem intrepid bucks for cash, is this real cash or like in game currency
versed hollow
@true sand Intrepid bucks will be used to buy game time, or embers (the premium currency)
steady ocean
How it was before is that you could redeem for real cash or embers (in store currency for cosmetics) but I believe the referral system is being revamped.
steady ocean
Everything at this point is outdated and subject to change the day after it is said, until launch.
true sand
ok
desert ivy
No, it's not outdated
true sand
they just said its being revamped though
dark jungle
if info is outdated it will be removed from the wiki, but it requires steven to say its outdated first
true sand
ok so you can still trade in intrepidbucks for real actual USD?
dark jungle
not until after launch
true sand
holy crap
west turtle
Will shorter races have an advantage regarding height and hitboxes?
steady ocean
Yes
true sand
bruh
dark jungle
true sand
that is insane
dark jungle
@west turtle yes they will, but it may be offset by something else, like lower health pool or lower defensive stats
dark jungle
some things will never be truly balanced, but that's kind of more realistic in a lot of ways
true sand
so i could actually make a living by using intrepid bucks to turn them into real usd?
west turtle
well yes but its a game
true sand
holy crapioli
dark jungle
if you gained enough referrals yes, but remember you earn less if your referrals refer others
true sand
that is sort of confusing

hi i was wondering about the phases talked about in the $150 pack
dark jungle
@whole sandal what would you like to know?
steady ocean
@whole sandal Can you specifiy what your question is?
whole sandal
@dark jungle i was curious about the difference between the two
the beta one testt phase and beta 2
steady ocean
Beta one will come first, and then beta two will follow later. It's a matter of release date
whole sandal
okay that's what i figured
steady ocean
It just means you have access to both phases
boreal abyss
they have their internal goals with the different betas, we do not know what htey are
whole sandal
when does beta 1 start?
dark jungle
no dates yet
whole sandal
ah okay
dark jungle
we only know about alpha 1 so far

@tough sierra no
whole sandal
and one last question would i be able to upgrade my pre-order pack like if i got the 75 now would i be able to buy the 150 later for cheaper and so on or would i just have to buy the one i'd want at the start?
ruby swift
You can upgrade by paying the difference.
Realize you only get the cosmetic upgrades from the month you upgrade to.
So while you have the accessory from this pack. You would get the pet from the month you upgrade in. And would need to purchase the accessory for $5 separate. Also the gametime and such does not stack.
whole sandal
so if i were to buy the 150 now then later pay the difference for the 375 would i keep the stuff from the 375 pack and have the 9 months?
steady ocean
You would get everything in the 375 pack, yes
whole sandal
okay cool thanks
steady ocean
Although your game time would go from 4 months to 9 months, not 13 months
unreal zealot
what if u bought one set of cosmetics then upgraded to the 375 bundle do you lose the last set of cosmetics on thr 150
round belfry
no
steady ocean
You never lose cosmetics that you have bought, you just unlock new cosmetics
echo dew
anybody knows if there'll be region blocks anywhere for the european server? (specifically israel is what i need to know)
steady ocean
@echo dew As in will certain regions not be allowed to play?
steady ocean
None that I am aware of, unless the game gets banned in a specific country
echo dew
alright, thanks
whole sandal
and there's no cap on the upgrades between packs?
crystal beacon
have they fixed the forums yet?
whole sandal
like i can get the 75 now then build up to the 375?
misty condor
how node guards will act in a case of two guilds fighting within the node ZOI
steady ocean
That is correct @whole sandal Although remember if you buy the $75 pack for the current cosmetic theme, and the theme changes, you can no longer get the old them cosmetics. You can only upgrade to the new theme cosmetics
@misty condor Guards only attack corrupted I believe within the node, I do not believe they interact with players that are outside the node in the ZOI
whole sandal
ooooh okay so they plan to change like the turtle and stuff
steady ocean
The themes change every so often yes
ruby swift
Next cosmetics change Aug 5th

trim moon
Will a mayor be able to ban certain players/guilds from entering the city or maybe remove the citizenship from a toxic player?
steady ocean
@trim moon I believe mayors generally only control tax rates and which buildings are constructed within a node. They also have a role in the defense of a node. You can read more at https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Mayors
trim moon
So the mayors/citizens decisions cannot influence the city guards actions, right?
ruby swift
Remove citizenship no. Put players who are not wanted on an enemy of the state list yes. However it costs increasing amounts of gold for each person they add.
Citizens cannot be targeted for the list
mossy yew
There a lists?
steady ocean
I do not believe they can specifically control the guards, just determine the level of defences
mossy yew
If so, rip streamers
trim moon
Thanks @ruby swift @steady ocean
Another question: can mayors designate roles and/or functions to officers within their cities to help in administering a node?
I think that, specially in a Metropolis, the mayoral duties can become overwhelming for a single person
fair yew
There will be officers to assist yes
steady ocean
I know officers will be able to have special functions during node sieges, I'm not certain if they are able to affect a node's management systems.

[Question] I was curious about the inability of vassal nodes to declare war against the parent node. If the advancement of a vassal node is being blocked by the "progression lock" from the parent node, what can they do about it?
I thought node wars were meant for this kind of conflict. Like, you are blocking my progression, so i will destroy you.
@heavy chasm ashes101 would be my go-to website for learning the mechanics
steady ocean
perhaps @dark jungle can answer that one, I'll be sure to ask for a clarification if I get the chance though @trim moon

@sudden bolt Feel free to ask
vocal swan
@idle siren Great chat with Time this morning!
crisp holly

sudden bolt
Okay, this question is probably really benign but I have been thinking about it a lot since I started playing GW2 again. One thing I love about the game is how they do mounts. Every mount has a movement ability and a combat ability, to jump really fair, to glide or barrel role, and the mounts move around like they have weight. They slide to a stop from a run, turn in a radius instead of on a dime, wobble around when they land from a jump, etc. I was wondering if AoC had any plans to impliment some of these ideas? I personally dislike it when mounts in MMO's just become shiny % speed boosts.
spice dagger
Hey Steven, good luck with your phoenix meeting. Proximity based voice chat please. :v
vocal swan
About the only thing GW2 does right nowadays :p
sudden bolt
Honestly true, but they really nailed mounts.
steady ocean
Mounts will certainly have more depth than a simple speed boost, you can read a lot about them here https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Mounts

lost loom
How does respawning work? Do you just revive at a node or do you have like a revive on the spot where you died type of thing?
sudden bolt
Thanks for the link! This looks promising. Glad to see they are more than a speed buff, I just hope they nail the feeling of them as well!
steady ocean
@lost loom You review at a nearby node as long as you are not corrupted. If you are corrupted, you revive at a random node throughout the zone.
trim moon
[Question] Regarding the node wars, the wiki states that "vassal nodes cannot declare a node war on their parent node or any of their vassals". Does this mean that a nodes vassal to the same parent node cannot declare war on each other?
lost loom
steady ocean
Supposedly, respawning is tied into the lore of the game, so we will have to wait and see how that aspect develops for more detail and specifics.

@idle siren are you able to tell us if we will be getting an update on the EU publisher issue before the cosmetics change on the 5th of August?

Has there been any discussion on in-game damage/healing meters (etc) much like mods in WoW, I understand it breaks the emergence a bit, however, many like the competitive nature of knowing that type of information. (including myself)

@trim moon They can't declare war on each other -> They could declare war on an opposing parents vassal though
@dusty ferry The devs don't want in game dps/healing meters/addons/mods/external tools/very limited api
teal tusk
[Question] How detailed will the craftig System be.. Like can i choose/Customize how my sword looks while craftig or am i given a blueprint as in every other mmo.. A Mix would be realy cool..
Will there be Features like in botw with the crock forest.. Would be cool if i can hide my stuff in a specific way only i can know or ppl can find out with way to much effort
Puzzles to be solved and giving great rewards for the first one's and some rewards for the the followers
Customazble skill effects.. The sfx effects.. Like let the fireball be like an ordinary fireball and i can choose the change in it like adding lightning around it or smoke.. Or like in the example Steven gave with the mage/fighter blink rush attack.. Would be willing to pay for the looks like the whole blink movement process looks like i lightningstrike to the enemy..
For me its a Real cool design and Option to Customize Ur character and Support the devs by putting some of those in to the Shop and achivebla throug gameplay if they create New cool looking sfx effects for me to Personalize my character
Not heard of an mmo yet which had skill customization of this caliber
And i think we can trust Steven to not just give US some shady skill sfx to choose from gameplay and Super fuckn awesome ones from the Cash Shop..
Let us get awesome ones from gameplay and other awesome ones from Cash Shop
spring fractal
Do we know if guilds in this game will be able to have a customizable cap? for example have a color slider/design for it? Possibly be able to put their own guild image on the back of it? An example like this would be a game back in the day called Knight Online where you have your own guild and can put your guild emblem on the back and change color and design of that cap.
