Any alpha 1 tester can tell me something about the actual pvp combat gameplay?

So the skins in the pre-purchase packs change?

And the phoenix backers (highest ks packages) will be testing it first in a month or so

nah its fine just wee bit o banter that got a bit off topic

Braver of worlds = alpha 1??

what currency are the pack in the aos website? are they local country prices?
onyx knoll
@exotic hollow yes every month or so, next switch is on the 5th
@keen ice united state dollar
earnest knoll
Ty again for that link @exotic hollow
keen ice
ohh shiit welp guess that $375 ($530 AUD) pack aint happening
lilac lion
Yes braver of the world has access to alpha 1
onyx knoll
@foggy basin yes, if you have Braver of World tier of backer you should get an email when alpha 1 starts
foggy basin
Thanks guys
crystal beacon
ohh shiit welp guess that $375 ($530 AUD) pack aint happening
@keen ice Doesn’t include any tax that might apply also. 😅
keen ice
oh yeah. not even gonna bother lol initial price is waaaaaaay out of my price range
exotic hollow
@keen ice register now though, gets you a statue
vast dirge
You don't need the $375 pack
keen ice
i created an intrepid account if thats what you mean
vast dirge
The 250 has alpha two as well.
tardy elbow
$250, like its nothing
onyx knoll
(an in-game one you can put into your house, in case anyone expects to get mailled a real one lol)
steep fog
But I wanted a real one. 😦
onyx knoll
250$ isn't nothing for everyone :)
keen ice
what is in the $375 but not in $250 ($347 AUD) cuz that is more affordable for me
exotic hollow
With the USD getting weaker vs the AUD, I'm will to wait 🙂
tardy elbow
as i said, he casually says, you dont need the 375 dollar one, you can just get the $250, like its nothing
steep fog
The house skin.
low orchid
and the caravan skin
crystal beacon
I think it’s house skin, and some game time also.
onyx knoll
Also name reservation
low orchid
Oh yeah 3 months more game time and some more embers as well
vast dirge
@tardy elbow I bought the $375 pack, which I don't think is expensive. But for some it is.
crystal beacon
Might be best to just wait until the game releases and just pay $15/month for the game
onyx knoll
On phone so going off of memory
tardy elbow
i wish i could lol, im saving, just so i can buy a cheap new computer, to be even able to play it when it comes out
frigid vigil
I have purchased the 375 pack and will be playing as soon as it is out. I had a big conversation with the Wow classic community this morning in Europe and a lot of people are looking forward to the game
steep fog
Yeah like, when you break down the package to how much the game time is worth, how much the embers are worth, and then figure you're buying access to play in alpha/beta early which is who-knows-how-much game time... I actually decided it could be worth it to put the money in up front.
keen ice
im currently in a raid so cant do quick maffs but if all the missing items are converted to their value is there money saved if going for the $375? or the $125 is the worth of items difference in the packs
basically what tiskun said
exotic hollow
Reminds me: Anyone know if we can buy game time with Embers? I couldn't find anything on it
steep fog
They are comparible in price when you consider what you're getting.
vast dirge
I mean realistically, the $375 pack gets you alpha and beta + name reservation + game time. All the other stuff is just crap really.
onyx knoll
Depends how much value you personally put on cosmetics, i think the 375$ is very good value for what is in it personally
dark valve
Will you be able to apply for an alpha or beta and play the game? If so when ?
steep fog
So it really breaks down to what can you afford up front for how much of a nice package you get.
tardy elbow
yes, but then you value in game items, i can only value playing time as time is the only thing i got spare 😛
foggy basin
Id spend a lot of money to be able to play - sadly missed the kickstarter. But I agree - its up to each individual if its worth paying that much for gametjme or not.
tardy elbow
if i could have bought the life time, i would have
because i imagine playing it well out, but thats not possible anymore
crystal beacon
if i could have bought the life time, i would have
@tardy elbow Same.
keen ice
yeah the $500 kickstarter when i saw it initially i got jealous
onyx knoll
@dark valve there will not be any open beta or alpha, you can gain access by purchasing pre-order packs or by waiting until they do contests for beta keys in a year or two
low orchid
@onyx knoll yeah the costume as well. Just checked
frigid vigil
Another question I want to ask is about the loot system within a guild. Is there a plan to implement a system such as EPGP so that those who put more effort into doing raids get more effort points and priority to obtain dropped loot ?
proven arrow
@frigid vigil that's up to your guild
vast dirge
Loot council is better 😉
proven arrow
No in game dkp epgp plans
frigid vigil
Ok if there is no plan to implement this in game, will there be an API and interface available so that people can code their own system?
lilac lion
No api available
keen ice
get dem spreadsheet ready
low orchid
Steven doesn't like addons
frigid vigil
OK im going to get ready to stick spreadsheets all over my face.
onyx knoll
We don't have a lot of details on how the guilds will function and what systems will be implimented but they have mentionned wanting to add management tools so that might be part of it
keen ice
going to need to hire an accountant for large guilds lol
low orchid
Maybe the "Scribe" crafting profession can handle DKP systems :p
frigid vigil
Management tools are good for a guild. I have to run 2 guilds in wow classic and we use a lot of management systems for this. Loot Council, EPGP, Scheduling raids, class priority etc
vast dirge
Google docs are just as good.
exotic hollow
Thanks for the help people, c u all l8tr
frigid vigil
It would be nice to have something in game instead of Alt-tabbing
frigid vigil
Something in game which can log all loot received by every player in a raid vs writing down every loot received in every raid is not very efficient.
Or will there be a logging output so that a log file can be queried for information within the game and then this can be exported to a sheet - for example the warcraft logs uploader tool.
frigid vigil
Yep, if we can get this in csv format such as date,time,playername,raidID,Lootname,Value then this would be good
earnest knoll
I know this is probably obvious, but the 'persistant' alpha 2 means that alpha will be available to play all the way up to launch yea?
frigid vigil
It will go into alpha2 then beta1 then beta 2 then main release
vast dirge
Alpha all the way till launch 
earnest knoll
What does the persistant part mean then?
raw ridge
hi guys, was wondering if there is any pack I can buy to play the game now?
frigid vigil
I am not sure how the client and the server versions will work but I expect the version of the server will be upgraded to support beta clients and thus alphas clients will not be supported
keen ice
@raw ridge nope at the moment only high level kickstarter backers have access
lilac lion
Persistent alpha 2 means servers wont go down
frigid vigil
I am going for lunch. Catch you later
lilac lion
Where as alpha 1, there may be windows of playtime and server may be down several of the days
earnest knoll
ahhh ok
raw ridge
@keen ice thank you
lilac lion
Alpha 2, servers will remain up 24/7 with wipes
earnest knoll
that makes more sense
pallid horizon
They will change A2 servers to PTR servers, so they wont take them down
cedar orchid
Do you guys know if ashes of creation will be on Console as well?
lilac lion
No plans yet i dont think
earnest knoll
wait, now im getting conflicting info again
low orchid
They said that alpha servers will be persistent, so those people will continue to play on their own server as a test server. Meaning that when beta-only people get access they will play on different servers. But I am sure all that is subject to change if the devs need it to.
keen ice
is progress in alpha and beta carried on to live game?
lilac lion
No
low orchid
No Sloane
fickle abyss
Nope. But there will be a headstart.
lilac lion
Will be full wipe before launch
keen ice
ok good
dreamy temple
that’s better tbh
lilac lion
There will be a few headstart servers you can choose not to play on them
Not all servers will have people who have a headstart
tulip hatch
@cedar orchid they said there may be console support in the future, nothing concrete yet.
lilac lion
And headstart servers will have heavy restriction on exp
low orchid
Headstart is only for a few people that have bought headstart in Kickstarter
And yeah, only specific servers will allow them
earnest knoll
"Persistent" means that the Alpha-2 servers will be kept up all day and night until launch.[1] - thats on the wiki, so if thats wrong it might need to be adressed
lilac lion
^
Its right
It jus means servers wont go down
Like i said, alpha 1 will have gaps in the test phase
cedar orchid
@tulip hatch Thank you for the info much appreciate it!
earnest knoll
Yea so if you get alpha 2 access you can play all the way up to launch? with wipes ect
earnest knoll
ok sweet, thats sold the pack for me then xD
solid jay
question: i saw that there is collision between player character, will there be a option to disable it if someone is giefing?
keen ice

lilac lion
I dont think so? Not sure
earnest knoll
follow up question for yall, do we have any idea when the alpha 2 packs will stop being purchasable?
woeful vector
Are there some archetypes that have more fleshed out skills than others right now ?
oak depot
@earnest knoll no, but the devs will give plenty of head-up notice before Alpha 2 packs are no longer available
earnest knoll
Ahh sweet ty @oak depot
cyan coral
Can anyone tell me for what is this ambers that w get if we buy the packs ??
short compass
Hi everyone, I got a question regarding character progression. I know we can only have/master 1 class (primar and secondary archetype) per character. I understood it was the same of the artisanship (gather/rafine/craft). but are the progresison shared ? or are they separate so I can be a master paladin that is also a master in gathering plants ?
oak depot
I almost got a little disappointed when I learned Founder level and above kickstarter backers have a 2-day head-start before game release (thinking it would prevent me having the virgin experience of an undeveloped world from the get go), but I learned that the plan is to have separate headstart servers and there will be headstart limitations in place (like the node system will be deactivated). https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Head_start
cyan coral
oh ,so we trade money for that to buy the cosmetics in shop ?
oak depot
yes
cyan coral
ok ty
oak depot
Embers, not Ambers I believe
glad sleet
@short compass the first one is your combat skill, the second is your vocational skill. Yes they are separate, yes you can be master of both
short compass
great thanks !
oak depot
I thought the term was Artisan Skill instead of Vocational, no?
sorry, not trying to be nit-picky but rather get terminology straight in my head
earnest knoll
I think thats correct nostra
cyan coral
About the area of the game we know is 480 km2 ,can anyone tell me if that is bigger or small than wow azeroth ?
about gear ,in wiki Armor characteristics ,i only see for example on heavy armor it will give defense and more hp ,we will not have more stats like critical or strenght ?
earnest knoll
@cyan coral just remember that no matter how big the world is, it all depends on the players speed at which they can traverse the world
oak depot
Did some math yesterday on size
thorny summit
map is 480km^2
cyan coral
so in wow kalendor and eastern kingdoms have 200km2 ,so this game will have the more than the double ??😮
earnest knoll
That math may not account for if those water tiles around the border stay or are just placeholder until they have the barrier or whatever they put there
so it could be slight;y less overall
vast dirge
That math is all well and good, but means nothing if you don't know the player movement speed.
earnest knoll
^^^^^^
oak depot
@vast dirge sure, but they said in the AMA it will take "several" hours to travel from corner to corner
I would assume several to be 4-5 hours
cyan coral
we talking about the size ,not the time we need to travel X to X
vast dirge
Yeah I know, but big maps with fast movement speed feel really weird.
Hopefully it's a big map with slow movement.
tranquil willow
will there be a loading screen between continents
oak depot
you could assume 4, which means you travel at 8 km / h or basically 1 km in 7.5 minutes
cyan coral
this is really amasing ,damn
oak depot
the distance between gateways and starter node is about 1 km
so you get in and if you don't dilly-dally and read text do intro keybinds etc... you could be helping out within 10 minutes

@woeful vector alpha 1 is no longer available as they have the required amount of testers atm. They are planning to have 8-10k active a1 testers, however if they aren’t able to get that number they may sell them again. That being said if you have a ks package/summer package (back from like 2 years ago) you can upgrade to a1

The community on this game feels great, despite no sign of release date 😄

@granite sage to correct my answer... release servers will be virgin. Alpha server will stay and become the post-release Test Server for future patches/content. I am not sure if they will character wipe the Alpha server when it transitions to a Test server

Hello, so I sent a request at AOC support for upgrading my Braver of Worlds (Kickstarter backer) to Leader of Men as I am not able to do this through the shop. I had sent the ticket 3 days ago and haven't gotten any response. I know that the next Alpha is coming up very soon, is it possible to get in contact to a dev or someone higher then support to get this fixed and be able to sign the NDA forms? Not sure if Ill be able to make the cut off in time 😮

A1 capped at level 20.. secondary start at level 25
sage prairie
@stable plover thank you!
fair yew
@crystal beacon yes especially for military nodes economic nodes and religious nodes
stable plover
@crystal beacon Yes, it would take 'hardcore' solo play most likely though. For example, divine nodes the player who completes the most service quests for the node becomes mayor, that's the kind of thing a solo player could obsessively do, and as long as they did a good job of being mayor there's no particular reason for a guild to be super angry about that. (The same is applicable for military and economic nodes in other ways)
crystal beacon
Wouldn't a guild be able to support a player for question in the divine zone ?
Same for military.
oak depot
Military is Champion PvP based
unkempt gale
military is based on duels, so not so much
crystal beacon
Economic seems to be the only one, if you can get insanely rich
Oh it's 1-1 duels ? I thought it was a battle royale ffa last man standing lol
stable plover
@crystal beacon Sure they could, but there's only so much it makes sense to focus on supporting someone in questing -> It might make more sense for a guild to do this with a metropolis, but I wouldn't expect them to bother with the lvl 4 vassal node under the metropolis
unkempt gale

Military requires good PVP skills

Well how do we know what node its going to be before we start working?

@indigo schooner type of NPCs around it

Basically it has to level before you know but I’m certain after release there will be a player made list
stable plover
@lapis aurora There will be a vod of the stream that goes up on youtube, probably today, but possibly tomorrow.
fair yew
Yes @lapis aurora
crystal beacon
You can tell what type of node a settlement will be based on the NPC in it
That's in the wiki
indigo schooner
before there are NPCs im asking
fair yew
Right but there are 0 npc at level 0 so you have to level it
stable plover
@lapis aurora The stream will be viewable on twitch as a rerun after it's over before it's up on youtube if it's not on youtube yet.
crystal beacon
I thought it started with a few NPCs
indigo schooner
thanks @fair yew
crystal beacon
what worries me more is, what if all the metropolis on the server are economic nodes lol ?
indigo schooner
so we have to get lucky we get the node we want
lapis aurora
okay that you, i am super hyped for this game honestly i keep debating on if i want to do the highest preorder or not because for the next 6months to a year i will be extremely busy with work but i can’t help but want to impulse buy the game
fair yew
Like I said though after a bit there will be a map of node types I’m certain
indigo schooner
ok cool ill be looking for it
stable plover
@crystal beacon There are synergies between metros of the same type. At the same time it locks some other features out entirely to not have a metro of that type ;p
lapis aurora
i will keep that in mind do i need a twitch account?
crystal beacon
Can a node be downleveled ?
oak depot
@lapis aurora I don't think the game will be out in the next year or so
stable plover
@lapis aurora You don't need a twitch account to watch videos there, only to chat

Nope just tune to twitch.tv/ashesofcreation
crystal beacon
Like could it go from metropolis to city ?
fair yew
Yes @crystal beacon
lapis aurora
okay thank you @stable plover
crystal beacon
So in theory, a guild could lead a war to change the metropolis to another city ?
fair yew
Yup that is the point of node wars
unkempt gale
they destroy one city to unlock the nodes nearby it @crystal beacon
stable plover
@crystal beacon @fair yew They made a design direction change to where nodes won't ever delevel without going all the way to 0, for situations where a node would have deleveled in old design, some services get disabled until node either recovers or gets entirely destroyed.
lapis aurora
does anyone know approximately a time for when voyager plus would get to start playing
solemn finch
Do they have a place to ask questions? I know they have done some qna at the end of their streams before. Just wanted to know if there was a specific place for that
fair yew
Thanks greypelt. I heard something about that but wasn’t sure it if was true
unkempt gale
when nodes get sieged they go back to level 0
crystal beacon
So in other words, to change a metropolis, you need to completely destroy it ?
unkempt gale
yes
crystal beacon
damn...
fair yew
@solemn finch there is a forum post you can put questions on for the live streams
solemn finch
Thank you
jovial olive
i have a similar question as zkl
as a solo player can u for example have a char for gathering and a char for processing and u can benefit from grinden on 2 char via for example a shared warehouse in your own stronghold ?
fair yew
Yes you can share access to storage in your freehold across your characters
You can do that too
jovial olive
@crystal beacon do much money to little gain XD
okay thanks for the clarification @everyone
fair yew
You can set permissions for friends and family to have access and even make changes to your freehold. But ownership is on your account
lapis aurora
how would you get/build a freehold and would there be rent and things such as that to pay every so often to keep your freehold running or when it’s built it’s built and there isn’t much worries from there?
unkempt gale
i think the only worry is if the node it belongs to gets Sieged @lapis aurora
fair yew
You go to a level 3 or higher node and get a freehold writ to place it down within the zoi
I don’t believe there are property taxes for freeholds only for housing
strong drum
I heard there are islands in the sea that we can potentially set up a free hold at - does anyone know what might be the benefit to that and does the water content have nodes?
crystal beacon
But freeholds are more likely to be destroyed though right ?
fair yew
They can be destroyed if a node is attacked for up to 2 hours after a successful siege
There are no water nodes mentioned as of yet
jovial olive
@fair yew so u may get lucky and dont loose anything evene tho the node is destroyed ?
strong drum
you have the option to defend your own freehold for the 2 hour window either by yourself or with friends i believe
and potentially hire npcs to fight with you
fair yew
Right. But if your freehold is not within another nodes zoi you will have 1 week to move it or it will break down

Correct on defending and hiring mercs
When a freehold is destroyed or broken down due to no zoi you will just have to get a new writ in a different level 3 or higher node and your freehold layout will be mailed to you

Is there any fully safe bank storage option or say a bank at a castle would be safest possible but still not safe from a castle siege
oak depot
Risk vs Reward is a pillar of Ashes
fair yew
There will be a lot of different storage options such as guild banks housing storage and freehold storage. The only way to really keep stuff safe would be to hold the resources on your character and log out for the duration but you won’t be able to hold much
lapis aurora
i saw in the AMA stuff about player owned taverns on their freeholds is there some special way to make it into a tavern with certain equipment or is it just automatically set up with tavern capabilities
fair yew
We don’t know too much about the customization of taverns. There are going to be games and stuff you can set so there should be some options
boreal abyss
have to build a tavern on your freehold most likely
which will most likely take up a lot more space than normal stuff
so less plot available for other buildings on your freehold will prob be the tradeoff
lapis aurora
i would be fine with that ever since hearing about the tavern i have been focused on wanting to run a “famous tavern”
fair yew
Taverns will have food and quest boards and stuff like that not sure what other equipment you would look for
tired sedge
I would think that if you are wanting to run a famous tavern on your server you will want to be a master of cooking
lapis aurora
is there anywhere it goes into more depth about taverns or is the AMA the first and only place they were mentioned
fair yew
tired sedge
I’m not sure if cooking is a crafting profession but I know the ability to provide special food and drinks to people that give buffs they need will be a big thing
boreal abyss
cooking isa crafting profession
strong drum
I wonder how the player run business will work with radius - if i set up next to my friend are we competing - do we need to price fight to attract players? Whats to stop every player from just using their own freehold
fair yew
Yes cooking is a professions and it would be best to be master at it for a world famous tavern
tired sedge
I was thinking so but couldn’t remember off the top of my head thank you @boreal abyss
boreal abyss
@strong drum the fact that some ppl might have their freehold on one side of the map, but are traveling on the other side of the map where you are
also food buffs only work within a "radius" of the tavern
so even eating at your own place and traveling across the world, will make the buff run out way faster
and you might be a master chef, while they might not, so your food gives better buffs
fair yew
Also not everyone will have a tavern on their freehold
strong drum
ok makes sense - steven thinks of everything am i right
boreal abyss
He tries 😛
fair yew
Ashes will basically be the most in depth game of dnd ever
strong drum
i havent been like not able to sleep over a game since wow came out and i was a kid
but ashes gives me that feeling lol
tired sedge
@boreal abyss I think the the buffs you are talking about are the buffs that you get from the normal stuff a tavern provides but if you are a master cook and you make a food that goes into your bag they can take on there travels they will get the full effect of the food
@boreal abyss so say like the tavern gives you a soup you can make in the tavern even if you do not have the cooking skill mastered but if you are a master cook you can make food and sell it in your tavern even tho it’s not a ability you gain from the tavern it will make a location where people know they can always come to get there buff
gritty bear
Do they have any update about SEA/OCE Server?
boreal abyss
No
@tired sedge I think steven talked about that hte food buff of food, will decay over time

can anyone send a link to the wiki professions page and classes i wanted to look more into depth about that sort of stuff
boreal abyss
because the food is decaying over time

tired sedge
@boreal abyss yeah I’m pretty sure he said that food will go bad after a amount of time or have a set time you can use it but that just means you would have to visit the tavern more often my guess would be good is good for a day or two but that number is 100% a guess
stable plover
@gritty bear Depends on what the last you heard was https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Regions - OCE servers will not be provisioned until Beta for Ashes of Creation (the MMO) and live launch for Ashes of Creation Apocalypse.
The likelihood is very high for Sydney or Melbourne based OCE servers, they might be in Singapore
lapis aurora
thank you i will save the write up and read it later when i am off lol
tired sedge
I guess my statement is more that if you want to have a famous tavern the cooking skill will go hand and hand with it in my opinion
gritty bear
@stable plover Thank you so much.
tired sedge
So you guys get the feeling or is this just me but things you do in every day life like eating etc will be important in this game and highly customizable like for example the food if you need food and you know a tavern that provides the food you want but it’s a 30 min walk from your location you will still need to go get that food for you adventures for the day
The game seems to be as realistic fantasy as you can get in a game
desert ivy
I mean there are no food or water bars that you need to keep filled if that's whay you mean

Yes
somber hull
I see a lot of discussion regarding multiboxing, I wonder if multibox will ruin classes like bard, example in Lineage2 noone played Prophet/Warcryer as their main account. It just sat in corner as afk buff.
tired sedge
Correct you will not die from not eating food but you also will not be performing to the best of you ability persay with out taking advantage of food buffs depending on how strong they are
desert ivy
I mean buffs from food and pots are a thing in every mmo
tired sedge
Correct but if you take classic wow for example you want the best food or water you find a mage give him one gold and then you have all the food and water you will need for the day from my understanding depending on who cooks the food and where the food is cooked will change the buffs and how strong they are so you might want a special food from one guy while I want a food from another guy due to are personal builds of our character
unkempt gale
i would like an actual cooking mechanic
that would be interesting. different ingredients, different skill levels, and different ways of cooking to make different buffs and debuffs
or an alchemy mechanic, make potions and poisons

So do all classes no matter what archetype get to have bows? or a secondary long range weapon? Or is that just my imagination

@echo dew Don't take that picture as being too set in stone, it's still ui testing as opposed to being final.
@stable plover ofc ofc no worries
tired sedge
Any class can us any wep it just might not be the best one for you
stable plover
@woeful vector Weapons, including bows, aren't class locked, but some classes like ranger might say have skills that work with bows, while others may not, or might have a greatly reduced selection when using a bow.
woeful vector
@stable plover
For example in this image,theres a bow icon. Is that for all classes or just this one?

I think weaponsa and armor with be skill restricted. Althugh there are races and classes that are more efficient on a particular weapons/armor
So plated wizards arw vialble lol

@woeful vector I think it's intended as a 'ranged' slot that any ranged weapon can go into for any class.
sullen orchid
question, if someone has an account that pledged $1 via the kickstarter period, would they still be able to upgrade at all? or did they need the minimum package / tier to be able to do this?
also, would that same person be eligible for the backer stretch goals etc
full badger
I think you had to have bought a package to be eligible to upgrade but I don't know for sure @sullen orchid
@plucky pawn any ideas?
ruby swift
@sullen orchid Nope, this has been addressed before by other people who "donated" lesser amounts during the Kickstarter. If you did not buy an actual package, you have no package to upgrade.
sullen orchid
That's fair, would the backer stretch goals still be available to them?
ruby swift
The backer stretch goals that are not specific to KS backers apply to everyone. For example everyone will be able to take part in expanded naval content. In your example those individuals would not get the "backer only dye set" as they are not seen as package holders that qualify. Toast can comment if they changed that, but I have seen them respond to those inquiries that way here before.
sullen orchid
Ah I see, cheers.

opal heart
Quick question, wiki states that alpha 2 will be available until launch but betas will not be; hows that supposed to work?
Like, are they gonna go back to the alpha when beta is over? I dont get it
oak depot
separate servers
opal heart
But why not keep the beta online then?
oak depot
alphas and betas are designed to test systems of the game and user experience... they are not intended to be "the" game
so there is specific focus of each test
ruby swift
Depends on when that statement was made. Anything concerning testing phases and timelines prior to the Creative Directors letter in March 2019 has been disavowed.
oak depot
they do need a test allowing high-level play, seems Alpha 2 will allow that by staying persistent (although it could have it's own character wipes)
latent parcel
can an arc wizard [mage, mage] use a sword and if so what benifits will being a fighter give @stable plover
opal heart
Ok I thought of beta as an early version of the game in general, that was my misunderstanding then
they do need a test allowing high-level play, seems Alpha 2 will allow that by staying persistent (although it could have it's own character wipes)
@oak depot
Its stated that there will be wipes on the alpha 2
opal heart
Fair point
ruby swift
There is a newer statement
sec...was looking something else up
Steven 😇05/02/2020
As a general rule, if the testing phase contains the word Alpha, it is safe to assume there will likely be wipes. The ultimate goal for A2 is to be persistent and the PTS, but before we get that far there's gonna be some wipes I would expect.
And there is another that is similar. Will see if I can find it.
stable plover
@latent parcel An arc wizard can use a sword, but you should look for a sword that gives caster stats instead of physical dps stats compared to the swords that most fighters would be using. Additonally, while we don't have an example yet, the arc wizard could have an ability that say requires a spellbook, orb, or staff (more likely to have caster stats) we just don't have an actual example of that being the case, like say with some ranger abilities that require a bow.

What can the class Cultist do? Are we able to create a cult?
boreal abyss
we'll know closer to Alpha 2
empty dragon
I don't know why but I feel the urge to destroy the world in the game. To become the demonlord. A cultist would be the perfect choise or maybe a necromancer. That is why I wanna know if you can create a cult.

how about a guild with a cult mentality?
unreal zealot
i mean you could just rp a guild into a cult
people are already have crusades against tulnar and going to be fanatics of their chosen religion

limber tendon
Is it true that if you get 8 classes with a similar primary in a same group they can cast a mega spell?

Planned possible mechanic. More details to come
limber tendon
because that sounds sick
i saw it briefly on the wiki 8 summoners can summon a golem
or something like that
hardy bolt
They said that about summoner, not confirmed about any other classes
limber tendon
yeah thats the one i saw
hardy bolt
but they have to be the same primary and secondary
fair yew
Just same primary and it can be less than 8
ruby swift
Same primary. And they have shown at least the mass wall for tanks.

The 8-summoner summon is only during Sieges is my understanding

How does open world pvp work during the same time as a boss fight? Friendly fire isn’t enabled right?
dusk token
So my stray aoes from won’t splash onto others and start pvp right?
hardy bolt
you have to flag to enable pvp
oak depot
there is a flag for whether you want AoE to trigger PvP or not (you have to opt into it)
last oak
Merch store later closer to conventions and later phases. Pvp can happen at all places outside safe areas open world boss would need some to protect.
oak depot
Also ... A player may not flag on members of the same party, raid, guild or alliance.[10]
The AoE statement: Players will be able to opt-in (via a checkbox) to allow their beneficial or non-beneficial AoEs to hit flagged players. If this is checked then AoE heals or damage will affect flagged players. If it is not checked then the AoE will not damage or heal any flagged players, and as such will not cause the caster to be flagged themselves (if they are not already).[11]
cyan viper
If youre green and somone atks you, you have to opt in then fight? you cant just hit them back, am i rihgt?
Its not like BDO in that fact
oak depot
my understanding is: you can just hit them back with non-AoE attacks... or AoE if you enabled flagging via AoE
hardy bolt
yes you have to flag too @cyan viper
oak depot
hitting them back will flag you
cyan viper
^ your disagreeing with eachother
craggy panther
Im pretty sure you can hit them back and youll auto flag. however they will gain corruption and you will not
oak depot
they will not gain corruption if you fight back
last oak
They can still hurt you but at a reduced rate that it can become a annoyance.
cyan viper
So..
If someone in a boos fight flags and hits ppl and becomes a combatant.. and ANYONE he hits hits him by accdient they will then ALL be autoflagged.... and its like an infection and everyone will be flagged by hitting those ppl
oak depot
you can't flag people in you party, guild, raid, alliance
cyan viper
Open world boss fight
hardy bolt
no, the player being attacked has a choice to attack back or not, they aren't auto flagged
craggy panther
https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Player_flagging @cyan viper

it doesnt matter if its a boss fight or not, the flagging rules don't change

@craggy panther mate thats was so much easier 😄 TY

Np i figured id should look at it and refresh my self as well.
cyan viper
Wiki says AOE do hit combatants
rapid torrent
Is there going to be any kind of system like treasure map or something like runescapes clue scrolls? any form of find the loot really.
cyan viper
So im right.. its going to be a shit show if 1 person flags at a world boss
ruby swift
I believe treasure maps have been confirmed.
rare apex
is there already info about how performance in quests and node contribution is calculated or no info still?
oak depot
@cyan viper no - where does it say that?
cyan viper
Non-combatants who heal, buff or otherwise interact with combatants will be flagged as combatants.[7]
Non-forced attacks (such as AoE) will not hit non-combatant players.[6] (implying that they will hit Combatants)
ruby swift
If you don't want to be in the shit, then make sure to be part of the group attacking a world boss. They will be balanced for 40 people and who gets loots is based off of dps done right now. So if you are just some rando running up on a world boss, expect a bad time. If you are part of a competing group, expect that group to flag on you.
oak depot
expect a bad time if you are combatant flagged
cyan viper
Thats my point. if 1 person flags, it'll spread through a group fast
oak depot
but the group won't hurt others in the group.. only the combatant outside the group
ruby swift
It will be turned on later, but right now for testing it is only half on. If you watch the 4k video when we are all running into the dungeon for the dragon fight there is a point where Steven stops and server messages "Please drop flag" because everyone was purple to each other of the various groups and mayhem ensued. Once everyone had died and reset, wasn't an issue.
hardy bolt
I think the wording is just bad, if you check the aoe box you will be flagged
cyan viper
ahh theres a bit extra at the bottom.. it says You have to opt in to hit anyone
hardy bolt
so checking the box is basically flagging up, same as just flagging and then attacking
amber crater
I got a question: will I be able to transfer your characters to different servers?

Do we know where the castles will be located at?

amber crater
Narrator any node
hardy bolt
there are 5 castles
ruby swift
@amber crater Not initially. After a period of time ( a couple months) it will be possible for an IRL money cost and for loss of items and such. No finding a legendary unique on one server, then going to another was the example used. Will be more details when it becomes relevant.
cyan viper
1 central?
amber crater
Unknown thanks dude
late vale
There will be 5 but the locations are known atm right?
onyx knoll
@cyan viper not necessrly there could be one in the underrealm. We don't know their exact locations at the moment, but it will be the same on every server so once we get the full map in either A2 or beta you'll know where they will always be
oak depot
Is there an achievement for one guild owning all 5 castles simultaneously? Would be probably close to impossible to achieve. Maybe for a max alliance?
ruby swift
The castles are initially populated by NPCs. Those are raid level and will take as much effort as it takes to level a node to metro is the plan for them to be cleared for the first guild trying to take the castle. Locations have not been shown. But since they have 20% of the nodes under their control that is set, you can guess.
onyx knoll
You cannot have 1 guild own more then one castle @oak depot since only a guild leader can be a castle owner and you can only have 1 guild leader per guild :p
oak depot
4 alliances is the max for a guild, right?
ruby swift
Yes, but technically they are correct. No mechanic for a single guild to own all 5 castles. No matter how mega.
cyan viper
@ruby swift Asmongold and his Olympus guilds...
oak depot
guilds are capped at 300 members
cyan viper
have 5 guilds

cyan viper
He has 10 on Wow classic

And that 300 is only if they have gimped themselves by selecting only population upgrades.
onyx knoll
Sure, but it wouldnt be an achivement for it since the system wouldnt recognise those as the same guild
cyan viper
Yea
desert ivy
I dont think he has 10 anymore since he got rid of a lot of them or they disbanded
last oak
Also keep in mind a smaller 50 person guild with max bluffs from guild system can compete with larger ones that spec'd for size

You use Guild points for size and sutff? so the Zerg guild are going to be weaker??

Yes
cyan viper

Think of it as a strategic more people more area.

make multiple smaller guilds, all run outside the game by one guy. this would be one way to get all the goody buffs that large guild wont have

Bard will be like in tabletop with song bluffs not know if applies to all or just a area
onyx knoll
@blissful heron we dont have a list of the bard skills but we know they are meant to be strong support characters.
The game is balanced around a group of 8 with one of each archetype so we can assume bards will be very useful
last oak
To get a idea of how a class will be like look to d&d pathfinder and such
ruby swift
Bards will be primarily buff support with weaker healing than a cleric. How much weaker no one knows.
rapid torrent
Did they say that was a good reference somewhere? @last oak
regal anvil
speaking of classes. is "Tank" just a placeholder name for now? it really stands out
digital pivot
I'm looking forward to trying Scryer (Cleric/Bard). I'm betting it'll have great healing and added buff potential.

The names are what they are. Steven choose them after long deliberation (his story) and after two years of constant complaint by a vocal minority, they have not changed.

I just hope solo playing as a Bard early on (before you get into a regular party/group) won't be horrible
I assume all archetypes have some basic and sufficient capability to solo quests

Is the gathering/crafting activity more click and get like in WOW or is it more involved with specific skill like in FF14 ?
last oak
taken examples from the tabletop version. And what's been seen so far is why I say look to tabletop.
oak depot
@short compass there was some more skill to it in 2017 when they showed a video of being able to "crit" on gathering items via clicking on a moving bar when it overlayed a specific area in the gathering bar, but it seems it might have been removed or altered since then
dark jungle
@oak depot
Skill-based crafting mechanics have been considered and may be a part of the final design.[20]
We did discuss that type of a feature where the skill of the crafter would grant a greater window of skill-based type crafting. So the higher master level you have of crafting a certain item, the greater your potential to impact the quality of that item might be... The concern obviously that we have when going into developing this type of system is that we don't want what is a fun - you know for lack of a better term - mini game to be something that becomes repetitive and kind of makes it monotonous... If when we start to flesh out the crafting system and we take a look at that interaction of melding crafting, the actual activity of making something, there is room in the design sheet for different iterations of that particular action; and we may see something come about that can be skill oriented, but that's something that's going to require a lot of testing and different iterations from a design standpoint.[20] – Steven Sharif
short compass
great thanks, at least they consider thinking about making the activity not just a brainless click and get

@oak depot The QTE (quick time event) mechanic displayed during PAX gameplay was universally loathed and was immediate backlash to it. It was removed.

@oak barn If you purchase from the Intrepid site you get all the things in the package. My.Games is having issues with their website and sales related to Ashes atm. If you purchase through them, many options are not available. You can always purchase on the Intrepid side as an EU customer and there will be a way to transfer everything at a later date.

[Question] Are the nodes ZOI fixed, or it can be less than "maximum", because it would overlap with the ZOI of another node of the same level?
@trim moon it can expend thats for sure and i assume there's a limit
ruby swift
@trim moon Node Zois grow and shrink depending on node development and follow certain terrain features when being determined.
crisp holly
@trim moon They are not completely fixed as if something weird happens and 2 lvl 4s are next to each other. Their ZOIs go away from each other until one gets to lvl 5.
trim moon
Thanks guys!
oak barn
@ruby swift whats the difference between buying from either of those?
trim moon
But in that sense, if two nodes of the same level ZOIs theoretical "overlap" each other, could Node A conquer a vassal node from Node B, so that conquered node becomes part of the ZOI of Node A?
oak barn
And if i can just buy it from interpid why buy from another place at all?
ruby swift
@oak barn None as to package contents
crisp holly
Their ZOIs do not "overlap" while they are the same level. But that completely changes if one were to go to lvl 5 or 3.
ruby swift
The idea was for EU people to have their own thing. Since as it stands right now if you play on EU servers, you will be locked to My.Games in the future.
You can play on NA as EU, you just won't be able to do both on a single account.
blissful heron
I see. Thanks @onyx knoll . The reason I am asking because I am thinking of buying 2 accounts if it's gonna be that valuable

Does that mean if I buy acess to alpha 2 from intrepid i can only play on the NA server?
trim moon
Their ZOIs do not "overlap" while they are the same level. But that completely changes if one were to go to lvl 5 or 3.
@crisp holly But in this scenario, how would the ZOI of a node grow if it's cornered on the edge of the map? (like in the topmost-leftmost zone) Specially considering a Metropolis, that would create a very strange ZOI
crisp holly
Yep lol

I have a question. If we don't have snacks and drinks prepared, can we still join in on the live stream?

@blissful heron i'm not sure what the purpose would be, you won't be able to play two accounts at the same time while fighting since scripts/macros are banned and the way they described how they want bards to work it wont be hit 1 skill and stand in the back like a buff beacon for an hour, it'll be very active. So you'd be better off just finding friends to play with :P

@oak barn No, you will be able to test A2 anywhere they have servers set up regardless. This is for live launch. The servers in Germany for A1 testing that are planned are not through My.Games as far as I know and are not locked to their launcher. @plucky pawn can correct me if wrong, but she is probably a bit busy atm getting ready for stream.
slow hull
Damn pay to win livestream systems

when is the alpha?

which alpha?

coming apha

ruby swift
@onyx knoll @slow hull They have specifically said they don't want bard to be an archetype that you log on, get buffs and then remove from party. Their stuff will be active controlled and proximity based.
raw shell
do we know anything about the eu servers is there going to be some? basically the EU community
someone told me that there wont be any EU servers or something like that
onyx knoll
Uh, then that person is missinformed
oak barn
So If i buy it i will be able to play on the alpha and betas anywhere, but in the lauch will be locked to EU?
onyx knoll
EU servers are confirmed for release along with SEA and OCE
raw shell
so EU people will be able to play right?
onyx knoll
Yes
oak barn
Sad you wont be able to play with streamers and what not :" )
raw shell
what do you mean?
oak barn
Like if streamers play on NA and you are EU
digital yacht
then play on NA
dreamy latch
imagine wanting to play with streamers
raw shell
also that.
oak barn
The game you buy will be locked on reagion
raw shell
I would not want to play on a same server as a streamer.
onyx knoll
You can play on any server
oak barn
I mean There are some nice, not talking about the huge ones
ruby swift
If you choose to play EU you will be locked to My.Games. If you play NA you will not. Currently.
onyx knoll
However you will have to pay the NA price if you play on an NA server
Other servers will have some form of price harmonisation
ruby swift
This has been answered. You will not be able to play on both regions with one account.
onyx knoll
Right, sorry, I mean, you can choose to play on any server, they are not IP banning europeans from North American servers, nut once you pick a region then you have to stick to it
oak barn
yeah that was what i meant
visual forge
will it be possible to play the Tulnar at the launch or will it be some sort of allied race that you need to grind to get it? 😮
onyx knoll
Tulnar will be available at launch
jolly estuary
my recruitment thing was removed was it because it was a duplicate?
real dock
@ruby swift But how cool would it be to incentivize going to a tavern to listen to a bard play to get a buff that lasts for a longer duration
ruby swift
Tulnar are meant to be there for launch. However they were a stretch goal, and stretch goals can be pushed.
onyx knoll
I don't think you will have to unlock them in game but i'm not 100% sure
fast lichen
Also dont forget that the server locations have specific server prime times
ruby swift
Nothing has to be unlocked as to race, archetype, or gender.
oak barn
Also i cant seem to find the My.games session for the game
ruby swift
I am confused by that. What session?
oak barn
nvm found it
raw shell
what is a tulnar, I am reading the wiki about it
fast lichen
raw shell
I cant understand a think lmao
visual forge
hope that you can make some sort of satyr out of the character creation then 
ruby swift
Oh, the website, now I get it.
oak barn
on the bright side the EU version costs 40 less 😄
visual forge
i think he's talking about the year price
raw shell
Oh.
crystal beacon
https://aocreation.com/en is that a new website ?
glad sleet
on the bright side the EU version costs 40 less 😄
@oak barn on the less bright side we have my.com as our publisher. I would much rather pay extra to have stable server
crystal beacon
I'm confused
oak barn
is it that bad?
raw shell
@glad sleet you on EU?
viral lintel
i wonder tho if i can still play on an asian server if i have chars on NA
dark jungle
@crystal beacon thats my.games site
viral lintel
because singapore will likely have zero lags from japan, whereas NA will
visual forge
yeah it will suck for us @glad sleet
crystal beacon
thanks Lex
glad sleet
My experiences? Yes. Do I think we will have similar issues with ashes on EU? Yes. Do I trust Steven to sign contract that will stop them implementing P2w? Yes. Do I trust my.com to have stable and reliable servers? No
@raw shell yes
raw shell
because I am also in EU
ruby swift
@viral lintel Yes, there is only EU and everyone else atm.
raw shell
and I have no idea what they are going to do for us
glad sleet
Shall we go to #aoc-discussion to not spam up questions?
visual forge
@oak barn we don't really know yet, we hope. because my.com has a nice reputation of fucking up all their games and have pretty much average to bad servers
raw shell
sure
viral lintel
thank god
oak barn
Man im getting sad rn
visual forge
but Steven said that their contract obligate them to do all the changes on AOC EU so we're fine on that, we just need to pray for the servers to hold on @oak barn
oak barn
Hope so

@onyx knoll Ohh that's ok. Was gonna put wifey behind laptop to do the work for me 😂
plucky copper
What is the price to purchase the additional monthly cosmetic preorder packs after already purchasing one?
steady ocean
Once you purchase a certain tier pack, say the $75 pack, the next cycle you would only need to pay for the new individual cosmetics, which could be $5/10/15, etc
You only pay for an entirely new pack if you choose to upgrade
minor kettle
Will there be voice acting in the game? if so, will it be limited or fully fleshed out?
steady ocean
Just limited voice acting for key quests
mainly greetings and such, although they may add voice acting at a later date after launch
minor kettle
Okay ty :D, got a friend with dyslexia so I'm trying to figure out what we're gonna' be working with if he needs help lol
plucky copper
Oh ok. I plan on buying the Voyager+ later today after I found out you can buy future cosmetics, i just wasnt a huge fan of the caravan cosmetic. Since you specified individual, I assume you can pick and choose which cosmetic you want? Say if I want a new caravan skin, i can purchase just the caravan skin thats not tied to a package?
real dock
Do you have to be a citizen of the town, or allied with the town to use player stalls or vendor shops?
steady ocean
@plucky copper If you buy the voyager plus pack, you unlock all tiers of future cosmetics. This means you can pick and choose which individual cosmetics you want from the next cosmetic pre-order package
plucky copper
Awesome! Thank you for the response!
solemn snow
WHat is the average wait time on a support ticket?
unkempt gale
how does that work @steady ocean ?
steady ocean
@unkempt gale how does what work
unkempt gale
the choosing cosmetics from future packages?
steady ocean
I just explained it
unkempt gale
lol, i still didnt understand. do you get them all automatically? or do you get a list to choose from? i was asking about the process
steady ocean
You can pick and choose individual cosmetics from the tier of the packs you have already bought. If you have the voyager plus pack, you unlocked all the tiers. If you have the $75 pack, you only have that tier
ruby swift
Cosmetics run $5-25 depending individually
steady ocean
Once the next cosmetic pack is released, you can buy individual cosmetics from the tiers of pre-order you unlocked
steady ocean
For new individual cosmetics yes, but you will not be paying the price for the entire pack
unkempt gale
ok, thanks
i like how everyone is crowded into English 1. why does noone ever use English 2? XD

@real dock Yes you need to be a citizen to have a player stall. You can set up a personal shop from anywhere though.

@steady ocean I'll rephrase. Can Lone wolves, players without citizenships, purchase goods and services from player stalls?
unkempt gale
i would imagine so
steady ocean
I'd assume so
unkempt gale
would be weird if you couldnt
real dock
@steady ocean Just crossed my mind and wanted to be sure. Sorry for my lack of clarity originally!
ruby swift
Yes, non citizens have access to some services, but not all.
unkempt gale
1:30 til stream starts. ho boy
real dock
Any examples of a service not available @ruby swift ?
ruby swift
Think it was something related to social organizations or built structures. Would have to go looking and stream about to start.

@ruby swift No worries, thanks for the info
crystal beacon
I have been unable to log into the official forums for about a week. Are thy aware of the issue and is there a work around or plan to fix it?

one thing id like to know is with all the ambition and promises of what you all are trying to put in this game, where do you draw the line of what is considered too much content?
winter moat
Great, thanks!

Hey I was wondering if anyone can tell me how the necromancer archetype works or more specifically how many undead you can have at one time I really want a small hoard of undead for the necromancer the thought is really exciting for me as a role player and player.
quasi trench
If I receive a beta key from a kickstarter can use a referal code for that person?

@quasi trench If you haven't created your account yet yes
@ancient charm I believe 3 was the max stated so far, but much is not known about summoners at this point

I see a lot (/all) of the career position listed are for animation/technical. Will the studio be considering any economist positions in the future as the game matures?
hollow plume
@ancient charm Watch the AMA video on YouTube, Steven answered that question in that video
ancient charm
I really hope we can get more undead or at least that we can evolve or make those 3 undead even stronger
like maybe turn them into ghouls etc
steady ocean
@surreal palm You may be able to ping a dev, most of us are just normal players helping out by answering questions
ancient charm
@hollow plume And okay thanks for letting me know about that!
umbral crater
Does anyone know if there is any plans for an 'Iron Man Mode' in AOC? The lead dev mentioned the topic in one of his interviews.
crisp holly
@umbral crater Ooo good question
surreal palm
@tight gale I see a lot (/all) of the career position listed are for animation/technical. Will the studio be considering any economist positions in the future as the game matures?
steady ocean
Not currently, the devs are focused on the MMO aspect of the game. The majority of the world requires many people to function @umbral crater
covert otter
Thanks for saving Genre guys stay positive!
hollow plume
Iron Man Mode? there is no single player
wise steppe
How can you ask a question to be answered on stream?
Forum posts or can you '@' them?
steady ocean
You can try asking in the stream chat and hope your question gets noticed. They are not taking questions from the forum at the moment. @wise steppe
wise steppe
Gotcha
umbral crater
@hollow plume Iron Man Mode does not specifically refer to a Single Player Game. Its a broad term to define the lack of player to player interactability in a world with many players. Take OSRS (Old School Runescape) for example. 'Iron Men' are able to complete content with other players, the defining element is the lack of trading / help between players.
steady ocean
@umbral crater Due to not being able to master all professions, AoC isn't Ironman friendly. If you want solo play, just ignore others.
umbral crater
Thats a good point, however it can be averted by having several characters on one accout can it not?
tacit veldt
Isn't Iron Man Mode just making the game harder?
steady ocean
You don't need an entire game mode just to play solo @umbral crater But this would be better discussed over in #aoc-discussion
umbral crater
@tacit veldt Yes in a sense, it comes with inate rules.
hollow plume
I think Steven was asked this in one of the interviews, maybe the timthetatman one.

i would say if you have a 970 above your probably fine
hollow plume
It's Unreal Engine so just look at some of the other high end games out and it will be similar
steady ocean
Skills can be augmented based on your secondary archetype, and also how you utilize your skill points @empty dragon
rain hull
Will Taverns be the only Freehold building to give buffs? Or will Shrines also be a freehold building that players can pay into to get buffs?
hollow plume
Yes, I highly recommend watching some of the recent interviews with Asmongold, Summit etc. and the video from LazyPeon, most of these questions are answered there
In detail
empty dragon
so what would be the best secondary archetype for rogue?
steady ocean
@empty dragon You can probably get some ideas from #aoc-discussion
@rain hull freehold shrines will offer some benefits, but not the same benefits that a temple offers https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Shrines
pastel stratus
i just wanna make sure ive got a understanding on this. i made a account on intrepid and i have yet to get the alpha or anything am i able to get the statue? or do i have to have the alpha or something because i have a hard time understanding thing even tho it very simple. T-T
vagrant raptor
will there be a dual sword option?
little star
Question- class(Nightspell)example have aoe silence(JUDGMENT)does the skill change as I lvl it up change?(lvl1-(silence for 1 mint),lvl 5 -( enemy below 10% percent health instant death etc)
steady ocean
@pastel stratus If you bought the correct pack that grants alpha 2 access, then you will be emailed instructions when alpha two is close to release. You will receive the statue for your player owned house once the game launches
@little star Skills can be augmented based on your secondary archetype and skill point allocation
pastel stratus
kk thx
steady ocean
@vagrant raptor Yes, you can dual wield one handed swords
uneven lodge
Are they allowing In node pvp?
uncut drift
Does anyone know if character names will allow spaces?
little star
@steady ocean so it will be different for everyone skill set no one will be the same right?
steady ocean
@uncut drift we don't have specifics, but you can have an optional last name which could act as a space
@little star The game will have a lot of variety yes
@uneven lodge I believe pvp is only allowed in a node during a node siege/war. I'll ask for a clarification though
sinful nebula
What if you tag someone and they die from a mob , do you get corrupt ?
uneven lodge
If they have collision enabled in node, pvp should be an option for the people standing doorways
little star
@steady ocean Thanks for the info 👍 after the stream I will do theories for my class
steady ocean
@sinful nebula As I understand it, you won't become corrupted but you will be flagged for pvp
steady ocean
The combat system is still in development and subject to change, especially the corruption specifics
sinful nebula

is there an active playtest going on?
vital flume
How will healer contribution work for loot drops?
steady ocean
@pseudo plaza not for the general public. Alpha-1 testing (for those eligible) will become available in late fall
timid dew
Loot rights depends on dps ? What about healers and tanks ? Im confused.
pseudo plaza
@steady ocean is registering on the website enough?
fast kite
So I noticed that when you get off a mount you hop off and fall inside. Is there a possibility that you could hop off to like the left or the right?
steady ocean
Group loot is different than personal looting rules @vital flume Group loots rules would come into play at that point
@pseudo plaza No, in order to get Alpha/Beta access you need to purchase a pre-order pack on the intrepid website https://accounts.ashesofcreation.com/shop
@fast kite Those animations should be fixed by the time release comes. It's still in a testing phase so many of those issues will be worked out
fast kite
aight i figured but i was just asking
pseudo plaza
isn't that for the "beta 2" phase that was last year and not running anymore? @steady ocean
glossy siren
will pets help you at all
hearty thunder
are there glowing effects on enchanted weapons like in lineage 2 ?
glossy siren
cause i saw you can have pets
steady ocean
@pseudo plaza No, the beta that was open a few years ago was for Apocalypse, which was a test beta for the combat system. The MMO Beta is for the actual game
@glossy siren there will be combat pets and cosmetic pets https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Pets
glossy siren
nice

any know what the general turn around time is for a help desk ticket to be answered?
steady ocean
@hearty thunder Yes, there will be animations. You can check out some concept art here https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Weapons

@timid dew That is group DPS not just yours
glossy siren
will the combat pets be needed, or will it just be there hitting people for like 1 damage
muted mortar
Hi one question. Have the normal mounts a lifespan like the flying mounts too
abstract panther
Is there a suggestion area at all?
steady ocean
@glossy siren They will probably serve more of a utility function, but we won't know for sure until the Alpha's come out and we see them in action
glossy siren
k
steady ocean
@muted mortar normal ground mounts are permanent
muted mortar
@steady ocean thx
timid dew
So as a healer, if i do an amazing job i'll be punished if my group pull mediocre dps ? I don't quite get it sorry.
vital flume
@steady ocean I'm pretty confused about how that's going to work, regarding the looting system. If there is a clear description written somewhere for healer and tank contributions on both group and personal looting please point me in that direction! If there isn't one yet then I guess we'll just have to wait. ><;
steady ocean
@abstract panther You can post suggestions to the official forum https://forums.ashesofcreation.com/ or the AoC reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/AshesofCreation/
@timid dew If you group's loot rules are set to group loot, you will take turns getting to loot. If it is set to master loot, then the master looter determines who gets what loot. https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Looting @vital flume
exotic night
Is there region "auction houses" or anything? or do we really need to get to every single stall looking for something
steady ocean
@vital flume It literally works the same way most other MMOs do group loot
timid ruin
So if there are two groups fighting for a mob, healing has no bearing on who gets the loot?
vital flume

steady ocean
@exotic night Economic nodes at a certain tier will have an Auction House if the mayor decides to build it https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Auction_house
hollow plume
@timid dew Read the loot tagging section on the link Tavern posted
vast hamlet
is aoc apocalypse the same combat as aoc
steady ocean
@timid ruin @vital flume Whichever group does the most damage to the mob will get the loot
vital flume
So healers are essentially a detriment to looting?
steady ocean
@vast hamlet Apoc was the framework for the combat in AoC MMO. It has been developed further though
@vital flume Not if the NPC can kill your group
exotic night
Gah I wish they did the markets and stuff like eve. can buy remotely and stuff but have to travel to actually get it
static thistle
Will the militaristic BR be like a gladiator arena where people can spectate or how will that work?
steady ocean
@exotic night If you think about it, it's the same as going somewhere and buying it there. Both require travel. You can also buy from player stalls in any node that has them or player owned shops outside of economic nodes
exotic night
It sounds like a good idea but in reality usually sucks. It just pushes 3rd party websites to browse and find it all. Look at ESO, that was just plain annoying and that has way fewer places to look
steady ocean
@static thistle This is what we know about the military nodes. They are still under development https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Military_nodes#Government
proud sorrel
If I'm in NA but my friends are in EU can I still play with them if go to the EU server?

Worried this will just turn into path of exile with 3rd party website and whispering that way
static thistle
okay ty
thin ether
Would the bard have the ability to play instruments as in FF14? or anyone can play any instruments
steady ocean
@proud sorrel Yes, just be aware that all node/castle sieges will happen at their server prime times, which could be in the middle of the night for you
pastel notch
@tight gale Do you have any idea yet how robust the API is going to be (if you guys plan on having a public API) for developers to create third party sites/trackers for different systems? Specifically thinking at this second in terms of goods available for sale at different cities per server and if the level of detail on the API would allow for third party cataloging of that or if it's not going to be that specific.
proud sorrel
Ah ok thx
slow sky
they are of the mindset of no public API
steady ocean
@exotic night The devs are heavily restricting api access, so not sure if that will happen
pastel notch
really? that seems unfortunate to have no API at all public
green pagoda
Is there any info about how difficult will the game be while leveling? A lot of MMOs are braindead easy before you reach the endgame content. Will Ashes of Creation strive to be a more difficult leveling journey or will it be more casual oriented? Not talking about the time it takes but rather about the difficulty.
pastel notch
I mean, i get it for sure
craggy panther
Nor will they allow third party addons
pastel notch
yea i saw the addon part
steady ocean
@green pagoda It's hard to say for sure this early in the development phase
pastel notch
I was more thinking about API's for use on blogs/news as well. Maybe allowing people to tap into specific activities that occur and be able to create 'news' for each server
since each server is so different
proud sorrel
My best friends live in Denmark and Norway so I just wanted to be sure that I can play with them.
steady ocean
They can do that manually through research @pastel notch
exotic night
Unfortunately people will find a way. Didnt that 3rd party website for ESO (that really sucked for awhile) not use API at first? honestly cant remember exactly that far back haha
craggy panther
@green pagoda They mentined that leveling to max level should take 30 to 45 days playing 5 to 6 hours a day
flat wave
@green pagoda given how long they said the process of leveling will be, it'll probably not be a cakewalk like most games
green pagoda
I understand but what is the philosophy behind the difficulty. That usually sets the bar.
pastel notch
@steady ocean that's very true, but really hard to have daily news in that case
slow sky
the more accessible the API is the more bad actors can access it to and do things the devs don't want at all, so while it sucks it's more preventative
steady ocean
@proud sorrel You will be able to, just understand the challenges
green pagoda
Length doesn't really tell anything about the difficulty though :/
proud sorrel
I understand the challenges
pastel notch
@slow sky very true. I don't disagree fundamentally on a limited API, I'm just hoping it's not fully prevented
steady ocean
You can discuss the API issue more in #aoc-discussion It's an interesting topic for sure
flat wave
@green pagoda true that.. They showed a lvl 10ish dungeon on stream minutes ago tho, and a 3 men group of lvl 10 chars stood no chance (by steve's words)
again, it doesn't say much, but we can hope
slow sky
dungeons are balanced around 8 player groups to be fair
steady ocean
@flat wave @green pagoda The dungeons start with easy mobs, and get significantly harder the further you go in the dungeon
hollow plume
@flat wave They wouldn't stand a chance because group content is tuned for an 8 man group
quasi karma
Fireball castable under water?
steady ocean
You can ask other people opinion's on game difficulty in #aoc-discussion Please keep the this chat to specific questions.
flat wave
yeah i know about 8 man group, but if a 5 men dungeon can be done "easily" in some mmos by a solo player this gives some hope for more difficuly? maybe? 😛
slow sky
Please keep this channel to Questions and Answers only. If you’re passionate about further discussion feel free to move to the lovely discussion channels #general-discussion or #aoc-discussion Thank you. 
green pagoda
@flat wave @steady ocean Good to hear 🙂 At least that's better than it being a cakewalk. But I'm still more interested about the solo content. What you do outside the world. Killing mobs doing quests. I hope you cannot simply spam one button to melt everything.
