shell vapor
Can a nodes theme change when leveling if a lot of players from a different race contribute more xp to the node?
reef osprey
@shell vapor names are predetermined out of a random pool of choices.
the first mayor can select the name of the node afaik
candid lava
so castle nodes are different type of nodes?
surreal ravine
Is there going to be a prison system like Archeage had?
reef osprey
@candid lava yeah, they are purely for castle sieges
@surreal ravine probably no, they never mentioned it
surreal ravine
ok
primal holly
I think I heared of something like "node president" can any1 explain what this is?
shell vapor
@reef osprey I meant can the architecture style of a node change
dark jungle

reef osprey
@shell vapor style does change depending on the race contributing most exps

What benefits does a divine node offer up compared to the other three? It seems there’s the least know about it and aside from rp, it doesn’t seem compelling enough to warrant a metropolis node. Has balancing between the four types been explained at all?
gilded crane
Has there been any talk of possible Lore Books written before the game is released? kinda like warcraft and Diablo

pls no human female meta

@keen grotto sadly we dont know the benefits of divine nodes yet

The map will be covered in fog until we discover new points of interest right?
dark jungle
yep
crystal beacon
Do you guys think when they made the old silhouettes for tulnars they had dragonborn,kobolds in mind?
dark jungle
seems like it

I dont think its a node, but rather a starting area
dark jungle
no, there are 4 starting gateways and 9 starting zones
correct the starting areas arent nodes

Ok so flight is really rare but is it going to be the case that people only become mayors and guild leaders for flight? cause i don't really like the idea that only special people can get it.
ivory latch

candid lava
No, They said you can get rare drops (eggs of flying mounts) which have time limit attached to them.
ivory latch
if you have high enough stats in raising your baby flying mount you can have it forever
so in time there will be more than 20
mystic notch
The mayor system is set up well that only devoted players will really become mayor as well
pliant sphinx
You can only really master 1 skill but does that include gathering skills or just the crafting/processing ones? Example could you both master blacksmithing and be able to mine the max tier ore? I assume no but I would like to double check.
ivory latch
you can master all the skills in 1 area like all in gathering
candid lava
@mystic notch that would depend on the node type, cuz each node type have their own election process for the mayors
ivory latch
is kind a strange that you can do that since there are so many professions they should limit it to 2-3
proven root
any info on what will happen to the voyager plus pre order pack once alpha 2 is over? will the price drop to compensate, will they change the contents of it?
mystic notch
Yes what I’m saying is each system of becoming mayor is set up that only devoted players will be able to get it
ivory latch
marcel most likely more skins
mystic notch
Actually I don’t know the divine node mayor election
But the other ones definitely take dedication
keen heart
Divine is whoever does the most quests/contributes the most
dapper cove
@jokery the way I understand the profession system is that you will only be able to max out 1 profession, so with gathering you could have maxxed mining but that would lock you out from maxxing lumberjack
mystic notch
@ivory latch I’m pretty sure you can only master one profession total, not one category. It wouldn’t make sense because processing only has two professions while crafting has like 7
ivory latch
thats what was told here, all in 1 category
mystic notch
I’ll check the wiki but I’m 99.9% sure that’s not how it works
dapper cove
I havent read much on here, just been listening to the dev updates on youtube

You can master any of the 3 paths

you can max out 1

"It is possible to master multiple professions within a parent artisan path, but this will be a long and labor intensive feat, requiring many resources"
mystic notch
Players must choose a path in the artisan skill tree for each character.[1] Within each of the three parent artisan paths (Gathering, Processing and Crafting) there are different professions. A character may only ever master one of these parent paths.[2][3][4][5]
Gathering is a parent artisan path, along with processing and crafting. Within each of the three parent paths lies different professions. You may only ever master one parent path. But you may spend time mastering each profession within the parent artisan path.[5] – Steven Sharif
Becoming a master Crafter or a master Processor or a master Gatherer should be a significant time investment and resource investment; and because of that it should also be something that when you achieve that status it's like people on the server know who you are.[6] – Steven Sharif
you are absoultly right @ivory latch
sorry for spreading misinformation
austere rock
Does anyone know if they have previewed what the next set of packages starting in early August will include? I want to buy my partner (and me) the packages that include Alpha 2 access, but his birthday isn't until the 16th. I won't want him to get it too early, but I also don't want to miss Alpha 2!
hexed minnow
so I can master gathering, but still can do processing just not master it?
mystic notch
yes
keen heart
correct
ivory latch
i think this isnt final, because that would be too op to have good in everything in 1 area
primal holly
"It is possible to master multiple professions within a parent artisan path, but this will be a long and labor intensive feat, requiring many resources"
@keen heart im also interested
keen heart
or you can do it on alts
reef osprey
so you will most likely end up only doing your path
mystic notch
i agree @ivory latch also because there are 10 crafting professions while there are only 2 processing professions
ivory latch
i still think mastering everything in 1 area is too much
reef osprey
as it would simply not be efficient to do a little bit of processing if someone else could do it much better
keen heart
Would make the most since, because its going to be quite the time sink
and if you cant master it, screw it, let someone else do it haha
primal holly
i still think mastering everything in 1 area is too much
@ivory latch same
reef osprey
@mystic notch that's only the one he randomly spoilers on stream
there will be more processing, like woodworking
and stuff
mystic notch
gotcha
ivory latch
processing is animal husbary which is one of the most important one if you want to have a perm flying mount
knotty dew
agreed, would be better if you could only master like shipbuilding OR siege weaponry not the whole crafting tree
mystic notch
we should all post on the forums though because its feedback like this that they are looking for
proud sorrel
Will crafting be impacted by personal skill?
ivory latch
crafting will be impacted by the materials you need to make the stuff
reef osprey
@proud sorrel mostly complexity and decision making rather than physical skill
ivory latch
because legendary ingredients drops from end game bosses
reef osprey
like reaction time or accuracy
keen heart
indirectly, it will
reef osprey
@knotty dew they say it will take forever to master them all
they also said they they might limit it depending on testing
keen heart
Id be ok with it limited to a few instead of like a full 7 in a path
rich monolith
processing is animal husbary which is one of the most important one if you want to have a perm flying mount
@ivory latch Is this true? I haven't heard about it before 😲
mystic notch
rn there is black smithing and then armor and weapon smithing so what will the difference be between black smithing and the other two?
reef osprey
@ivory latch @rich monolith no, you can't have a permanent flying mount

they said it in the stream

15-30 days decay
reef osprey
you can just increase it's length between 15 and 30 days

about flying mounts
dapper cove
I think i would prefer to have professions work in the way that i misunderstood them to be
reef osprey
yeah, they are 15-30 days max if maxed out husbandry
ivory latch
a inexperience in that skill will have 15d
keen heart
I like the idea of 3
mystic notch
i think just limited like jokery said
ivory latch
higher 30 and a max skill one will have perm
ivory latch
yes they said it in the stream not long ago
reef osprey
you are wrong

we should all post on the forums though because its feedback like this that they are looking for

Do not question Jokery

the castle and mayor mounts are not temporary technically, but they are also temporary because mayors and kings do change sometimes
cloud nymph
If you buy a pack in their store as an eu player, you can transfer that over to my.com or what its called later on?
reef osprey
ivory latch
was the question will there be more than 20 flying mounts and they said yes depending on the skill in animal husbary it can raise from 15 to 30d even make it permanent which has lower chance to happen it i can have unlimitd time
reef osprey
you are wrong jokery, feel free to send the time stamp though
ivory latch
warth thats old, what i'm telling you is from the stream they had with the other streamers
keen heart
If that was true, then everyone would have flying mounts
reef osprey
@ivory latch you mean this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AeuqaELjFg&feature=youtu.be&t=49m46s
you are still wrong
keen heart
if everyone chose animal husbandry
knotty dew
yeah Jokery I think you misunderstood something, find us a timestamp
knotty dew
okok
dapper cove
In the june dev update on youtube steven says that legendary mounts that grant flying will have a lifespan, but most ground mounts will be permanant
keen heart
yup
knotty dew
"they can be cultivated into a lifetime-specific flying mount" maybe this is where you misunderstood @ivory latch
mystic notch
someone give me a referral code
knotty dew
they didn't mean you get to keep the flyingmount for a lifetime lol
mystic notch
ill help someone out here
keen heart
idk, its like the 3rd line on the wiki haha
"Royal mounts are dropped as eggs that can be cultivated through the Animal husbandry profession for artisans with a high enough stable upgrade on their freehold.[3] The eggs themselves also have a lifetime"
seems pretty straight forward

@summer elbow as far as i know you can learn a profession that concentrates on Mount taming

and probably breeding too yes
exotic berry
A trial and error breeding system

Are any pets in the game confirmed or is it just mounts btw?
summer elbow
And the lizard we saw on YouTube can also be tamed in the wilderness?

In regards to the item shop, the mount stuff will apparently only be skins too, not actual mounts
exotic berry
Maybe
sterile fjord
@covert ember yes the shop ONLY sells Skins nothing else only cosmetics nothing that gives you advantage or easyer lvling or something like that

Hi, I wanted to ask whether or not you could hit other players with AoEs accidentally. Like could somebody stalk you and wait for you to cast an AoE so he can get hit and kill you without gaining corruption?
lucid igloo
@amber plaza not unless youre flagged for pvp im pretty sure
sterile fjord
@amber plaza they could do that but for that they would need to turn pvp on and your attack would ranked as "Defence" kinda since your not flagged

sterile fjord
@amber plaza well if you turn pvp on and another one has it on too you dont get negativ points because you both have pvp on but if someone wants to defend his farming spot and someone tryes to harras him than he has the option to turn on pvp to kill that player

which race has the inverted knees? is it the furry race?

@nimble charm the effekts aswell ass the assets and the whole designe is still not finished and will get brushed in details i think something like that will be addet aswell

@amber plaza
the flagging system only decides whethere you can attack green players or not.
You are always attackable, whether you are green, purple or red
lucid igloo
Non-forced attacks (such as AoE) will not hit non-combatant players
mystic notch
yes i love lizards too @summer elbow, they taste great
lucid igloo
Non-combatants entering an open world battleground are automatically flagged as combatant and remain flagged for a period of time after leaving that battleground.[19]
Players are flagged as combatants if they attack another player. If the attacked players fight back, they are also flagged as combatants, otherwise the attacked player will remain flagged as a non-combatant.[71]
Non-combatants who heal, buff or otherwise interact with combatants will be flagged as combatants.[73]
Non-combatants who attack a player using combat pets (or any other player-controlled entities) will be flagged as combatants.[74]
Players can kill combatants without repercussions, and are encouraged to do so, since dying while a combatant has reduced death penalties.[71]

eternal wraith
Corruption only goes to the one that did the last hit tho right?
lucid igloo
If a combatant player kills a non-combatant player, they will be flagged as corrupt.
amber plaza
okay, so if I'm a pve-player, I can not start a fight by accident but I could still get attacked and killed, in which case the person that killed me would gain corruption.
lucid igloo
@amber plaza yes exactly
eternal wraith
Oh. Ty
sterile fjord
@eternal wraith the negative points go to everyone who where attacking the person but the killer gets an extra amount yes
lucid igloo
@eternal wraith yeah so far, the system needs fleshed out though
reef osprey
@amber plaza if you don't fight back, yes
if you decide to fight back, then its consentional pvp and both would be free of corruption
@eternal wraith currently yes, this might change in the future if they feel like its abuseable
vagrant ice
has there been any footage of combat with abilities and examples of what classes abilities will be? How many abilities? Or is that for a later date?
lucid igloo
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).
sterile fjord
@vagrant ice there where some showcases in the latest stream yes but other then them no and even the once in the stream are still work in progress
reef osprey
@vagrant ice
combat at a later date
amount of abilities will be "less than 30", how many you want to put on your bar (specc into) is your choice

Do we know if there will be server wipes between the alphas/betas?
lucid igloo
@digital scarab only as a last resort
@digital scarab theyre trying to test the way the "end game" economy works so server wipes will really hurt that
reef osprey
@digital scarab if they are necessary yes
i don't think thats an argument, they can artifically alter the state of the world whenever they can @lucid igloo
Also:
lucid igloo
@reef osprey thats fair, i was citing some interview i saw a while ago where he mentioned not wanting to wipe uinless they really had to, i cant remember which but i think it was the timthetatman one
versed delta
Does anyone know anything about how the Alpha and Betas will work? For example, if I get Beta 2, can I join my friends that started in Alpha 1? Will The Alpha servers get reset before launched?
surreal elk
@digital scarab all beta and alphas will be wiped for launch.
lucid igloo
@versed delta the servers will be seperate
versed delta
Right, so I can't join my friends in Alpha if I get the Beta
lucid igloo
@versed delta ill read the wiki more but i dont think so
versed delta
That is what I thought, that makes sense to me
reef osprey
@versed delta everything will be wiped before launch.
Alpha and beta servers are the same, so yes you can join them
Alphas will be multiple months long
Beta only a couple of weeks
final oxide
I'm glad
versed delta
So, Beta players can join their Alpha friends? @reef osprey
reef osprey
yeah, its one server
that later one becomes the test server for new post launch content
versed delta
So all the beta and alpha players will be playing on a single server?
reef osprey

well, there might be regional servers
so technically not if your friends are from EU while you are NA

Ummm I know "Guild" will be a big thing for this game so most likely there will be guild buffs + perks like guild shop. I was wondering if there will be an equivalent perks/buff for a solo player like for example being a Bounty hunter for a certain node I can get an almost similar buff that I can get from a "Guild". I know it sound weird for a lot of people but some likes to play solo.
reef osprey
@rich socket
it's not a game desinged around solo play and the bounty hunter system is completely separated from the guild system. You can be within a guild and be a bounty hunter.
There is no known buffs that would encourage being a solo-player though
If that's your plan, then don't expect to be rewarded for that decision. You probably won't get anything advantagous out of staying a solo player
@rich socket however, it's not even known what kind of "guild buffs" there will be, and if they only affect guild content or the players in their every day activities
rich socket
@reef osprey I know that would be the answer for 100% of the current MMOs right now. But I was hoping that there will be in this game so it will be not just a dream MMO for 99% of the gamers but also for the 1% that wants to have a diverse system that can support/reward solo players. Base on the facts that I saw I can join Sieges as a Solo player thats already a good start from my dreams. I wanted to come and go as I like without joining a guild.
unreal zealot
for most content combat wise other than leveling i assume you will need some friends for a party at least but theres nothing stopping you making your free hold and soloing your artisan tree and becoming a solo weaponsmith for example.
amber plaza
Does anybody know more about that "overenchanting" that Steven talked about in his interview with TimTheTatman? It sounded a lot like rng but I thought there wasn't gonna be any rng in crafting.
limber girder
@rich socket My guess is that there won't be buffs for solo play, seeing as that would encourage players to stray from the multiplayer content that is the core of an MMO.
trim moon
@amber plaza I don't know about this "no rng" in crafting
Overenchanting is just like L2's system, for what i can tell
limber girder
Do we know if there will be a map of possible nodes released before launch or is steven trying to keep the theory crafting to a minimum?
reef osprey
@rich socket there will be a design, that could be interesting for you
guilds and be leveled into 2 direction (size and better buffs for its members)
You could find 5-10 other solo players to join you in one of these guilds and put a maximum points into the improvement of the guild members.
You wouldn't have to interact with them, or do content with them, you'd merely be an alliance of solo players flying under the same tag
@limber girder he wants to keep the discovery alive as much as possible for release.
So I'd imagine that we won't get detailed informations about this
limber girder
@reef osprey Realistically you will have to interact a bit with the guild to progress it for said buffs
and nice, thats refreshing
abstract panther
So they showed off flying in dungeons on stream. Was that just a GM thing or is that going to be a perk of owning a flying mount?
unreal zealot
gm thing im sure
unkempt gale
GM thing
reef osprey
@amber plaza it is RNG, we don't know to what extend.
There is no RNG in crafting, but there is RNG for enchanting as it is currently
unkempt gale
they even said it was just a GM thing @abstract panther
reef osprey
@abstract panther only 10-20 out of 50.000 players on the server will have flying mounts
unreal zealot
only like 10-15 people in a whole server will have flying mounts
abstract panther
Ahh I didn't hear that
unkempt gale
@reef osprey @unreal zealot he was asking about flying through the dungeons
you ca get a flying mount @abstract panther , but not fly through the dungeons
unreal zealot
@unkempt gale yes and im just expanding on my awnser
abstract panther
So are there instanced dungeons or just open world? If they're all open world, how's it gonna work with large amounts of players in?
unkempt gale
ah ok. sorry @unreal zealot
reef osprey
@abstract panther 80% open world, 20% instanced
well, you nicely ask them if they can leave the farm spots to you.
and bash their skull in if they say no

has the BOW a1 started yet>?
unreal zealot
or move deeper find a different area or leave ;3
reef osprey
@unreal zealot i prefer the skull bashing option
rich socket
@unreal zealot I know that mate however my concern is "if there is a guild buff" that can increase your combat and loot. So for example a guild can give you +10% combat strength. It would be nice if I can get a buff that can atleast give me 5 to 7% combat strength without joining a guild. @limber girder I don't think it would stray a lot of people since there will be plannings and everything when doing sieges. Big guilds around the world will flock this game for sure and I'm 100% sure of that. That's why i'm on the 1% weird gamers who wants a solo gaming in an MMO. @reef osprey their name will still be attached to me. I don't like to have sigil or anything like that.
abstract panther
Concerned they're gonna be PvP murder zones. Are there any systems in place besides the corruption system to deter this? Or is it just purely social bargaining?
grave kernel
For instanced content, how do you guys feel about there being 8, 16 and 40 as opposed to something like 5, 10 and 25?
reef osprey
@rich socket that's understandable.
I wouldn't be too worried about direct combat buffs though. Most of the perks they mentioned are desinged around guild wars and castle sieges
@grave kernel factor 8 makes sense if there are 8 base classes
unreal zealot
@rich socket well i doubt it will be somthing major like that tbh maybe like increase crit chance by 2% not 5 or 7%, and maybe things like faster gathering or you gather more from 1 mining spawn.
grave kernel
So you think it should increase when they add more classes? I don't think the expectation is to have one of each class in instanced content anyway, right?
silk steppe
Do we know what the tank augments going to be like ?
reef osprey
@abstract panther a well designed corruption system is all you need, no reason to make it overly complicated.
mostly social bargaining though (out of my experience form similar games)
@silk steppe no, we get that information with alpha 2, which is like a year away
@grave kernel that's exactly what they design it around actually
silk steppe
Year 😱, is it truth that the game only is launching in 3 years ?
reef osprey
@grave kernel preferably 1 of each base archetype per group
grave kernel
That sounds like it will be difficult to get
reef osprey
@silk steppe i'd more estimate 2 years from now
unreal zealot
@silk steppe earliest the community is guessing is q3 or q4 2022 early 2023
rich socket
another question mates. is there a website or forum where I can send suggestions?
amber plaza
I assume having rogue as your secondary archetype would not let you find hidden doors?
silk steppe
Oof , we are in a deep need of a good mmo
reef osprey
@amber plaza they are said to be primary only. However, i don't think finding a rogue will be hard. It's one of the most popular classes in all pvp games
silk steppe
Is there much missing to be 2-3 years of progress still? What else they adding ?
unreal zealot
you can preorder into the alpha 2 or beta 1 or beta 2 if you want to support it (you dont have to tho steven is funding the game to completion anyway) and help them test the game ans such
reef osprey
@silk steppe we don't know how much they have, they keep it tight. We'll get first peaks with the Alpha 1 live streams
silk steppe
Only big content creatirs are getting access to alpha 1 correct ? Where can you apply for it ?
reef osprey
@rich socket yes, the official ashes forum, just google the website.
silk steppe
So by preordering i get access to alpha 2 and betas ?
unreal zealot
$375 for that pack with extra cosmetics and game tiem and ingame currency for the cosmetic only shop
reef osprey
@silk steppe early backers, friends and family as well as content creators most likely
correct, up to Alpha 2 is purchsable currently
unreal zealot
silk steppe
Early backers you mean the 375 package ?
unreal zealot
have a look at the website and yeh 250 is alpha 2 i missed that lol
reef osprey
@silk steppe Steven hinted, that Alpha 1 access could become purchaseable in the future once more, depending on how smoothly testing proceeds with the current A1 testers
silk steppe
Wait i am hell of confused i was considering getting the 375 one that doesnt not include alpha 1? Only 2?
unreal zealot
alpha 1 sales doesnt exist anymore
onyx knoll
Alpha 1 sales are closed
unreal zealot
only if you kickstarted or bought the pack before it was closed

@silk steppe both the 250 and 375 only grant alpha 2.
Alpha 1 sales are closed currently, but might return in the future depending on their testing needs
silk steppe

but that's a big if
unreal zealot
if it doesnt interest you to buy it right now people will be streaming without ndas by the end of the year

im sure itll be worth the wait
slim forge
I May be making the most cliche question ever, but do you guys have any predictions to when the game will be lunched ? maybe mid 2021 ?
proven root
im thorn between testing it early and buying a pack or waiting till full release to not ruin the discovery
silk steppe
@proven root my worry would be the tast of wanting more
desert ivy
@slim forge Mid-Late 2022
proven root
oof, no @slim forge, at least 2 years

Aight thanks guys 🙂
desert ivy
Mid 2021 will probably be Alpha 2 or something

I know Steven talked about having hybrids, but is there info on how flexible they will be in terms of the trinity? If you want do Tank do you have to go Tank, or can you legitimately compete if you go Fighter/Tank?
desert ivy
Tank primary will always be the best tank
proven root
probably ^
desert ivy
If you go tank secondary you may be able to off-tank
winter bane
Is ashes of creation going to effectively utilize multi core multi thread cpus or is it the same ol single core with minimal offload to other cores
silk steppe
How good you guys think paladin or guardian will be ? Will defo go down thag road
proven root
doesnt matter how good it is, the important is that you enjoy it!
grave kernel
I figured, but I was hoping there may be more than one primary class for it. Although I understand that it would be very difficult to balance
proven root
see the bright side, if somehow its not good because elitists decided it wasnt S tier, less players will play your class, making it more unique 🙂

#aoc-discussion is the place to talk if your not asking anymore questions about the game.

Will there be methods of breeding mounts built for caravan travel?

It being bad would be good because then it'll get buffed and you'll be the only one

Unless it doesn't get buffed
digital vessel
Will there be any sort of voice chat? Perhaps a proximity voice chat? 😉
unreal zealot
@winter bane its being made in unreal 4 so im guess whatever that engine specializes in is what they are looking at and you can get a guestamate of how the game might run from other unreal 4 games MAYBE
onyx knoll
@hushed flume yes, the animal husbandry job will be able to breed mount that fits certain needs
@digital vessel there will be group voice chat, but at the moment they are saying no to proximity voice
digital vessel
@onyx knoll Thx :)
torpid tangle
For combat did they mention anything about back attacks, or sneaking crits?
primarily in pvp*
floral iris
there will be certain skill modifiers that may apply extra damage if attacking from behind
Steven mentioned something briefly about this in his AMA
onyx knoll
I know headshots will be crits but idk about sneak/back
torpid tangle
hmmm headshots 
floral iris
so i'm guessing if you're a rogue, you'll have access to extra damage stuff if attacking from behind, you cheeky monkey :p
onyx knoll
I wouldnt be surprised if rogue had some kind of back/sneack dmg bonus
torpid tangle
if so I'll be happy
onyx knoll
Rogue will be revealed later tho so you'll have to wait a bit more for confirmation :P
naive goblet
if i bought this months 375 pack and wanted next months skins around how much would thr skins be for next month?
dull ruin
for all of them i hear its around 115-125usd
naive goblet
Ah damn okay
low lantern
@onyx knoll headshots being crits might not make it into game
crystal beacon
Headshots on a mmo doesnt seem right then its more of a fps mmp
dull ruin
you may not want all of them though so you could end up spending much less @naive goblet
naive goblet
Thats true thanks 
reef osprey
@naive goblet 125 all in all
just wait till you find skins you like
@low lantern that would be a nightmare to balance, i don't like the idea either
it was a nice idea to consider, but not something that was very likely
crystal beacon
I have a question about kiting with ranged classes is the movement combat style like eso bc in that game you dont typically kite like tab target games you shoot an arrow and you run towards your enemy with while switching to a 2 hand which is what i dont like i like pure range so will there be some type of disengage or reverse jump to help rangers kite?
reef osprey
there will be yes
bear traps, reverse jumps etc. have all been seen in the ranger set of abilities

Will there be a system to limite the actions of profession (eg : labor system in Archeage) and do we know the degree of complexity of profession compared to a game like Archeage?

dungeon layout isn't procedurally generated I guess?
sweet void
No i dont think so but location and type may vary depending on the node it is in as well as the nodes lvl. Yeaterdays development update showed a lvl 10 dungeon. It was pretty huge
woeful socket
actually speaking of dungeons, i watched the recent video and it looked like they just walked in to dungeons. is dungeon content going to be instanced at all? or will only larger raids going to be instanced?

do we know if potion launchers will be in the game yet?

they are thinking about how it will balance with the mmo

@pseudo nest a u mean like a grenade launcher but for potions?

so some may be and some might not? that would be interesting to see guilds contesting bosses and whatnot
dark jungle
the level 10 dragon boss dungeon in A1 early testing isnt instanced
woeful socket
ah ok

That lvl 10 dungeon was huge enough so it might take while for people to own rooms

Hello, im pretty new on the discord server, but, i was wondering: are some of the animations place holders? While the graphics and VFX are looking incredibly nice, i feel like the animations are looking fairly stiff in some of the footage i have watched, Sometimes lacking weight and "wham" to them
sinful mortar
yeah, alpha is like that
sweet void
Yes it is still subject to change based on alpha1 feedback
eternal glade
The game is in development remember
sweet void
It will still go thru multiple iterations until launch.
Although seeing the ild character model on 2017 vs now, i kinda like the stocky build of 2017

craggy mist
Here is a question. Can we gift alpha keys to someone? For instance in my inventory I have alpha one and an alpha two. Can I gift that Alpha two, or will it be required for me to play the Alpha 2. As in, the Alpha 1 key does not just open the door from that point to the rest. I know there is a system to gift the extra beta keys, so this was on my mind. Thanks!
stable plover
@craggy mist The individual alpha/beta keys from pre-order packs aren't giftable (Some KS packs did come with giftable beta keys)
craggy mist
Ok thank you very much 🙂
sweet void
So far no since u have to buy the pack on ur account and theres no option to gift packs

Gotcha. Been on the fence about buying in and wasn't sure if it was like the last day to do so, or if just the cosmetic bundle rotated out

Uh yeah i guess thats pretty far from na servers

Is ping going to be important in this game. ?

Well there is pvp on the open world so yeah it is kinda important

Ahhh hopefully my ping to the server isn't bad
As long as they pick west coast as the location it should be good I think lml
desert ivy
There will be both west coast and east coast US servers
Maybe a central server as well
but East and West 100%

And hopefully a streamer server
woven sand
ok so the pre order packs are marsh orc themed and if i'm understanding this right that theme changes on the 5th correct?

Why would you want a streamer server ?

Hopefully steven puts all the streamers on a single server and watch the thing implode

so are the outfits in the store like costumes from ESO? or do u need to transmog individual items in order to get the look?
sweet void
what's the reason for playing on the NA server instead of SEA from Philippines? timezone?
@sinful mortar peace of mind
desert ivy
@quasi walrus The shop costumes are 1 costume. You can't pick individual pieces
All or nothing for them
but there will be transmog for individual pieces in game
just not for the store cosmetics
stable plover
The accessory from the low tier each month is an individual piece.
quasi walrus
@desert ivy ah ok thank you
sinful mortar
I don't really follow how that can give peace of mind
my experience in playing on US servers is not being able to use skills or entire classes because they don't work right, I'd love to have SEA servers in this game for once
sweet void
I don't really follow how that can give peace of mind
@sinful mortar sea servers tend to be toxic and has a lot of griefers. I like to play when there is less population in game so NA server fits the bill

If your suggestion is to add something new to the game, then they most likely won't as they want to avoid scope creep

Steven tell me yes pls 👽

Havent see the full equipment set yet. what they are working on is to mesh rhe different types of armor tiers so u dont look like frankenstein
burnt nymph
But i want earring and ring to be visible that why i played ffxiv lol 😆 steven make it happen
sweet void
Suggestions are to be posted in the forum.
crisp holly
@burnt nymph https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Armor#Gear_slots
Currently we have been told 8 Armor, 5 Jewelry, 2 Weapons, and 1 Ranged slot
There might be earrings out of that jewelry but nothing is for sure yet
2 earrings, 2 rings, and 1 neckless seems like a likely way for them to go for Jewelry
sweet void
He asks if its visible on the character same as ff14.
crystal beacon
Do we know which 5 classes will be in A1?
crisp holly
It will likely depend on if you are wearing a skin or something but I'd bet/guess that yes that will be visible
sweet void
Do we know which 5 classes will be in A1?
@crystal beacon i think its 4, fighter, rogue, mage and cleric
crystal beacon

sweet void
They might incoporate the rest on alph2 including races and the 2nd classes
crisp holly
@crystal beacon By the end of A1 they intend to have all 8 in so that A2 can be for the full classes
If they follow the time line that we have been given
brittle vector
I cant remember where but i think i heard alpha 1 to be by the new year? Is this accurate?
wild marsh
@brittle vector It's still set for Fall 2020 last I heard.
crisp holly
A1 will be starting 'Fall 2020'
low lantern
Steven said 5 classes for A1
crisp holly
So we should be seeing A1 streams in the next few months
low lantern
And because the original plan was all 8 I’d assume we see the rest before A1 ends
wild marsh
That should be the case. @crisp holly
crisp holly
5 classes for the start of A1 but they will be doing all 8 Archetypes by the end

Has the combat been updated?
In the sense that it was really slow paced in the last gameplay

The devs have often discussed data stuff and heatmaps used for balancing and adjusting prices of certificates... Have they shown off any tools they intend to use for this?

@untold maple No they have not... they possibly will not as they will not want people to have the info to use to exploit 🙂

I don't think alpha island would provide any info exploitable at release from that...

Ashes won't be out before shadowlands.
fickle island
Yeah no way
west ridge
mmmhm, by the time aoc is released the next expansion after shadowlands will be revealed or even in beta
slow sluice
yeah they should take their time with the best mmo
ever

i honestly think late 2021 or june 2022
is a good

west copper
honestly we have to see how alpha 1 goes and how the game plays before estimating

Well if alpha 1 Is at the end of this year and they're planning an alpha 2 and 2 betas
slow sluice
but ya never know hope they take their time, definitely support that
west ridge
yeah i dont want it to be liek full of bugs and shit
soft lance
I'd be careful calling a game that's not out yet "the best ever". Setting yourself up for disappointment.
bold storm
then i should play shadowlands to kill some time til aoc release
fickle island
I'm being optimistic that itll be a playable mmo beyond that I refuse to buy into the hype

Lot's of people promise things. And same, every mmo i've played is just the same copy paste with some new flashy character creator or combat system etc. Hopefully this one will actually be something enjoyable.
dapper jasper
How are weapon placements going to go?
For example: Dual one-handed swords. Will they be placed on the back or hip?
For a bow and arrow, will the quiver be on the upper back or lower back?
steady ocean
@dapper jasper You can scroll through the concept art we know about and get an idea https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Category:Concept_art

@soft lance i feel more comfortable than every to say that one of us is head developing this game
All we can do is sit back and hope
dapper jasper
@steady ocean Oh sweet! Thanks!
old ermine
What kinds of stats are we working with in the game that we would see on gear? Like we have the basics of strength, intellect, agility, etc. Do we also have secondary stats, or will things be kept to main stats?
soft lance
That gives me a question, will certain gear be class locked? That's something I hate.
fickle island
No
steady ocean
@old ermine
slow sluice
nope i
fickle island
No class or race locking
old ermine
Thank you!
fickle island
Or anything like that
A dwarven mage can wear the same thing as a orc fighter or tank. Will it make sense for them to probably not because of stats but they can do it.
slow sluice
its awesome you can be anything you want, obviously there will be certain advantages to whatever you want to pick because im guessing races haver certain perks, but no class or race locking
You think they will stick with the 4 races for launch or add more?
steady ocean
I doubt they will add more than the current 8 choices
inner oyster
Not locking Armor to classes will be a hell of balancing but im Hyped to play hybrid stuff
hallow venture
We get racial augments on abilities
In a similar way to second class augments
According to the wiki
soft lance
As long as I can be an elf i'm happy. Can't wait to have a nationalistic guild.
slow sluice
yeah i doubt it too @steady ocean was just wondering too be honest.
steady ocean
@slow sluice Can always ask in #aoc-discussion to get their opinion
crystal beacon
Well it’ll probably balance out with all of class customization. Won’t be surprised tho if (melee primary/magic secondary) happens to do the highest crits/damage.
fickle island
They'll be the telnar
wild marsh
@slow sluice Technically there's 9 races if you count the sub races of each race. Humans (Kaelar & Vaelune) Elves (Empyrean & Py'Rai) Orc (Ren'Kai & Vek) Dwarves (Dunir & Nikua) and then Tulnar
old ermine
I'm curious about set armor, if it's going to be a thing and how it will work. Would set bonuses just be stat bonuses, or would those be linked to certain classes/builds? I like the idea of set armor being a little more exclusive
slow sluice
@wild marsh well its just a different kind of society im sure? maybe im wrong, but its the same race
steady ocean
@old ermine https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Armor#Gear_sets
old ermine
lol looks like I need to read the wiki more
steady ocean
Oh yeah 🙂
crystal beacon
Is there an idea on what the hunter sub class will look like if there are any ideas? Was thinking about being beast master (prim summon/hunter sec) on release and was wondering.
wild marsh
I don't think so @crystal beacon There's not much on most of the classes and sub classes at the moment.
old ermine
Do we know if the UI will be modular, or how customizable it will be? No mods/addons means we gotta be happy with what we get
crystal beacon
@wild marsh thank you!
old ermine
Right, which is why I want to know if the UI can be changeable in the game options
wild marsh
@old ermine "The Ashes of Creation user interface (UI) is built with customization in mind."
red jetty
@old ermine yes I do remember steven saying something about a highly custimizable ui
yeah
wild marsh
old ermine
Oh good to know. I've been very turned off by UIs in other games before, good to hear thanks guys
How are action bars/abilities going to work? Is it like we'll have a loadout that we can't change in combat and we customize out of combat, or will we have more action bars?
wild marsh
You'll be able to build your characters active skills and place them how you want in the action bar. You'll also be able to include multiple hotbars/action bars. You must also chose the skills you want as you level up, so it seems that it will be very customizable.
However, I don't see anything about being able to change it in combat, so I'm not sure if it will only be out of combat.
old ermine
OK so we have access to everything at all times, but what we use will likely be determined by what we put skill points into
earnest hatch
Hey guys, does anyone know if there will be addon support like in WoW for example ?
wild marsh
https://youtu.be/r701cyS3w6o?t=30m45s Here's the video explaining it @old ermine
old ermine
I asked because I really liked the way Wildstar did theirs, where you have limited action bar space and you can only bring a set number of abilities to any combat. That way you changed things on the fly in order to customize for the fight
wild marsh
There will be no third party addons or mods @earnest hatch
earnest hatch
Thanks very happy about that @old ermine @wild marsh
old ermine
There seems to be a mixed reception about the no addons thing, so good to hear
wild marsh
@late vale In most games with a trinity like Magic, Range and Melee, Armor is weak against Magic but effective against range, cloth being good against magic, but not melee, etc. OSRS for example has a very similar system to that.
proven root
its a rock paper scissors thing like steven said, same with the elements, X beats Y, Y beats Z... etc
earnest hatch
@old ermine One can see how dependent you have become in game like WoW. Up to the point were you can´t play the game without it so hearing that such a thing dosen´t become part of this game is nice to hear ^^.
old ermine
@earnest hatch I think the best reasoning I heard was from Steven, when he said that the min maxing that addons and DPS meters allows for just makes things really exclusive. While people use it to help improve, it just as easily becomes a tool to exclude people from raids/dungeons. I've only played games that had DPS meters or allowed addons, so I'm interested in how the game will play at high levels without that dynamic
Sorry for not asking questions in the questions channel. I'll stop now!

From the gameplay it looked like they will have visual effects on them automatically

The game will be featured a martial artist class? Like a monk? I cannot find the classes combination to see if has anything like that

what do u get for pking someone
do u get their stuff
mellow jolt
@wild marsh 😭 thanks tho
rain robin
@mellow jolt Aplha 1 is this Fall more or less (around October, November) Alpha 2 does not have a date yet but based on the development and the progress they are making I would say that it will be around April - July
wild marsh
Depends on their corruption level @crystal beacon if they have corruption they have a higher chance of dropping stuff. If you have none, then it will be just a chance for gathered items
mellow jolt
@rain robin soooo next year, rip. Thanks
crystal beacon
is it suppose to be hard to just pk everyone since ur stats will get worse? like they dont want people to go on rampages basically
rain robin
@rain robin soooo next year, rip. Thanks
@mellow jolt yup, I am waiting for stage 2 as well 🙂 so we are in the same boat 😄

dual universe is kinda similar to ashes of creation, but its more sandbox than a MMORPG
star citizen i saw they just put first person shooter elements in it

is there gameplay of the skill shots, like is it actually aiming in 3rd person or is it like WoW where its just an aoe looking thing

@zealous atlas what cap ? amount of people in an family ? or summons per family ?
stuck minnow
he's referring to the cap on the amount of people that can be summoned with the family summon ability @hardy crystal
hardy crystal
so whats the cap
stuck minnow
Of people in a family?
steady ocean
8 people per summon, 8 people per family
real sleet
@crystal beacon there will be taptargeted skills and 'skillshots' as well. I'll see if I find an example for the latter.
steady ocean
@hardy crystal scroll up to the image i linked, there are some limits to summoning. It's not so bad
hardy crystal
still shit, the world was supposed to matter. now clans are just gona organize their families or even demand you being in an clan family just for summons
steady ocean
Share your opinion/reasoning on the official forum with some constructive criticism and perhaps your ideas can gain some support
real sleet
@crystal beacon : this is from the Wiki: 'Crowd control
Crowd control (CC/mezzing) abilities include root, snare, stun, sleep and slow.[95][93]
There will be diminishing returns on stuns, sleep and slows so as to avoid stun locking.[93][96]
Crowd control won't likely be tab-targeted skills. This is to avoid imbalanced combos with skill shot (action targeted) abilities.[97]
Summoner's summons will be able to use crowd control.[98]
Hard CC's are stuns, knock downs, sleeps, paralysis, some roots, some silences.[99]
Hard CCs may be housed in action oriented skills because they are skill shots that are more difficult to land.[100][97]'
hardy crystal
@steady ocean well, better not say theres almsot 0 fast travel, or 0 P2W and then impelemt teleport systems and headstart
steady ocean
They have always said there is "limited fast travel", and it is. There are teleporters scientific nodes can build that lets you teleport to the nodes under its control; and there there are family summons. Two forms of fast travel
hardy crystal
teleportation from nodes that are maintained and actualy progressed to that stage are WAY difrent than free all access family teleportation.
what if you just log alt account to towns and teleport gooods from town to town ?
steady ocean
You can only hold a limited amount of goods in your inventory, but this is better suited for #aoc-discussion
hardy crystal
@steady ocean yes, but its totaly risk free
steady ocean
gathering the materials isn't, last I'll say on it.
hardy crystal
and ?
slow iris
One of your family members is still going to have to travel where they summon you and traveling alone makes you an easy target. You also cant switch families willy nilly believe it a couple day cool down switching
peak plover
will high ping au/nz affect my gameplay much, especially in pvp?
stuck minnow
@peak plover I imagine that it would depend on your class, if it uses mostly tab targeted abilities you should be fine. I think it would also be hard to dodge enemy skill shots
crystal beacon
nz will be okay if its california server
errant chasm
they're gona have an oce server i think and a good part of skills will be aimed so idk how that'll play with ping
crystal beacon
particularly auckland NZ
silk fractal
what were the classes available so far for the pre alpha 1 testing phase that happened
slow sky
pre-alpha 1 has not happened for the August testing yet, not sure what classes were available in prior tests i wasn't really able to participate but they've said 5/8 primary classes should be in the alpha 1 so i would assume those 5 classes
plucky ivy
Do we happen to know if there will be unique quests in the world that may only be unlocked through certain conditions and once completed, will dissappear permanently? Would be really interesting to have to players randomly stumble upon a unique quest, or once they complete certain conditions like slaying X amount of some mobs, it gets unlocked for them and they can be the first to do it and get some special title or item in regards to that quest.
little lance
when you choose your secondary class at 25 does your look begin to merge the styles of those 2 classes together? so that you look like youre an X + X rather than just looking like a fighter but actually having 2 things.
uneven folio
How much can you will be able to downgrade grafics and resolution, because expecting that many players with those spells (saw your last video) people with not a super pc is going to have a bad time. Cheers waiting for more news 
dull ruin
steven is
crystal beacon
Oh i see.Then..who does the dope art for the game
abstract panther
Any lore released thus far? I know Steven's touched on it a bit.
zinc lava
Maybe someone knows all quest going to be sounded ? i mean dialogues
reef osprey
@zinc lava no, don't expect much voice acting in the game,
that was willingly skipped
@abstract panther lore is something that intrepid doesn't want to share until the launch itself
sour hinge
Is there some class information available if there’s gonna be like some kind of shapeshifter?
mystic notch
Will we be able to have a freehold house I believe it’s called, and a static house at the same time?
little lance
@sour hinge https://ashesofcreation.fandom.com/wiki/Classes maybe this
wild marsh
@sour hinge
little lance
no specifics on class details tho
exotic berry
Is there some class information available if there’s gonna be like some kind of shapeshifter?
@sour hinge some people think shadowmancer will be abke to disgiuse as his summons
little lance
do you guys know if when you choose your secondary class at 25 does your look begin to merge the styles of those 2 classes together? so that you look like youre an X + X rather than just looking like a fighter but actually having 2 things
exotic berry
Nit confirmed tho
wild marsh
@little lance I'd say yes. Steven used an example earlier in a livestream explaining the dramatic differences from Summoner to Necromancer would be. And with the RP and everything else that's being harped on I don't see why they wouldn't do that.
little lance
@wild marsh yeah I would really hope its in not only bc it sounds so insanely cool but also for pvp purposes you prob need to know what the person likely could do at first glance
scarlet flower
Will there be a class that is close to what "Titan" was/is in Lineage II?
wild marsh
@scarlet flower Look at the class list above. See if one of those seems like it would match that
little lance
as far as I can tell theres a class for anything you could imagine in the game
reef osprey
@scarlet flower titan was that berserkish type class, right?
I'd look at Dreadnought for that
maybe weapon master
scarlet flower
Reading the titles and what they actually do will be very difficult to predict.
Yes, the orc berserk/zealot destroyer of worlds 😄
Yes, it does look like, Dreadnought is the closest to what this could be
earnest knoll
Hey team, question about the artisan classes, I know you can only master one of the three trees, but does that mean with enough time you could master multiple professions in those trees?
reef osprey
yes, with enough time you could master all the professions within one of the 3 trees
That is supposed to take a long long (long) time.
earnest knoll
Ok cool just double checking ty!
reef osprey
at first you'll probably focus on 1, once you are done you'll go for the next etc.
with ever increasing costs of progressing them
little lance
is a tree considered like "all types of crafting" or what
reef osprey
@little lance there is 3 trees
- gathering
- processing
- crafting
little lance
oooo 
reef osprey
you can master one of them with lots of time investment
little lance
if you go into one can you do 0 of the others, or only the basics of others
im afraid that everyone is gonna be doing animal husbandry and its gonna be oversaturated or something
earnest knoll
That will also make it the least profitable though, they will need things from the other classes so the supply/demand in the game will encourage people to do different professions
little lance
right that makes sense
eternal kite
it is highly possible that proffesions will be oversaturated. You should expect that. People will take either easy ones or cooler ones like Animal H. That's why guild diversity will be important. You might only need a couple master crafters in the guild that you will invest in, a couple of processing too
but they will be valuable
reef osprey
you can dabble into the other professions in a basic way
but you won't make anything valueable out of it
since everybody can just do that himself
wild marsh
Let's move non question/answer discussions to #aoc-discussion 🙂
earnest knoll
I would consider what they were talking about discussion based on my question so i dont see the problem there
Plus the talking in there has nothing to do with the game at all
humble pasture
I am aware about the statement "a PC built within the last 4 years is going to be enough", but has it ever been stated exactly what the maximum amount of CPU cores or threads AoC will be able to utilize? For my next PC I'd like to buy the best CPU available with that amount of cores, in order to maximise performance (buying one with more cores than needed but subsequently lower per-core juice would undermine overall performance)
wild marsh
For alpha testing minimum is
Processor: Intel Core i3-2125 3.3GHz / AMD Phenom II X4 3.3GHz
Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 460 or AMD Radeon 6870 HD with 1GB and DirectX 12
Memory: 6 GB RAM
Network: Broadband Internet connection
Storage: 15 GB of available space
Sound Card: DirectX Compatible Sound Card```
Recommended is:
```Operating System: Windows 10 64-Bit
Processor: Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz / AMD FX-9590 4.7GHz
Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 or AMD Radeon R9 Fury with 4GB and DirectX 12
Memory: 16 GB RAM
Network: Broadband Internet connection
Storage: 15 GB of available space
Sound Card: DirectX Compatible Sound Card```Is there a "Skill-tree" for the classes somewhere?
To look at the skills and what they do etc...
wild marsh
There's some skills posted on the wiki, but it's not all of them by any means.
reef osprey
@scarlet flower not yet, wait till alpha/alpha 2 for more information on that
reef osprey
@humble pasture a MMO without multi threading in this day and age is pretty much suicide
especially if you want to 250 v 250 battles
so i'd assume so, yes
sterile fjord
an i7-6700k is not a low model tbh
humble pasture
I know, will definitely use at least 4 cores (also taking into account their recommended hardware pointing at a 4 cores 8 threads CPU), I'd just like to know the maximum amount of cores the game will be able to take advantage of... 8? 10? 12? 16? Depending on this number, the best CPU you can possibly buy for it changes.
upbeat jolt
@humble pasture a MMO without multi threading in this day and age is pretty much suicide
@reef osprey bless
reef osprey
@upbeat jolt bless used a non-customized version of UE3
it was a 2011 game after all
sly monolith
i run rdr2 in ultra in 4k with 80 fpss.. im fine i guess 😄
radiant oxide
is the upcoming test later in the year an alpha 1 or alpha 2?
sly monolith
alpha 1 this year 2 is next year
radiant oxide
ok so the packs in the shop selling alpha 2 access not 1 i assume is attributed to already hitting an ideal alpha 1 testing population
sly monolith
pop for alpha 1... basicly they have enough people for it
i think they actually had to close to the kickstarter packages @ some point
the packages might change..in time... so i am waiting aswell till i buy alpha 2 access
mystic notch
Will we be able to have a freehold house I believe it’s called, and a static house at the same time?
reef osprey
@mystic notch yes
mystic notch
Yay
Thanks
Will they be limiting the amount of people that can buy access to alpha-2? And if so are we approaching the cap yet?
wild marsh
I do not see anything anywhere about it, but I thought I heard or read that it did somewhere. I'll keep looking for you though unless someone else has the information on hand.
reef osprey
@mystic notch they will give us a heads-up soon enough if that is supposed to happen
mystic notch
Ight, thank you both
mystic notch
Oh ok thank you
little lance
post beta 2 will all progress be reset for launch?
wild marsh
Everything will be reset upon launch besides the head start
errant chasm
so have they said if "mastering gathering" would just lead to procs for more items to be gathered / rarer items to spawn or is it gona be needed to get some materials like they wont be possible without master?
reef osprey
@mystic notch Steven mentioned, that they are open to opening A1 access once more if the testing during the A1 phase proceeds smoothly
it's a big if though
@errant chasm both
errant chasm
so we can assume to make top end boats it's atleast going to be a 3 part process between lumberjack / mining / boat crafting all needing master?
reef osprey
@little lance
The launch servers will be different from the Alpha/Beta server.
The Alpha/Beta server will remain as a test-server.
Whether we lose temporary access to it or its wiped, we don't know
wild marsh
idk if you can master all three of those. Steven mentioned that you won't be able to master everything, so you will have to pick and chose what you want to do.
reef osprey
@errant chasm you can be both a master lumberjack and miner as both are gathering professions
little lance
ohhh its like an early access test realm for the future
silk fractal
What is their stance on multiboxing, I know they will adress it in details in their next vod but are they against it and ban it?
errant chasm
i know 1 player cant but im saying it'd take 3 people basically?
reef osprey
you will need professions from all 3 trees to make a boat for example @errant chasm
wild marsh
@plush zenith https://ashesqa.com/question/what-are-the-min-specs/ That's for Alpha 1 though, they haven't released anything for upcoming ones
reef osprey
@plush zenith we don't know yet, Alpha 2 will give us more information about it.
but i think a bare minimum shouldn't be hard to reach, as you won't really do raids or sieges with your second/third/fourth pc
@silk fractal right now you are allowed to it as long you play from seperate pcs
limpid gull
Do we know if dungeons will have more than just one boss? And not like, raid dungeons, but basic dungeons.
silk fractal
I hope they ban that option, unless you can prove with ID that you have several people playing the game in that same ip connection @reef osprey
reef osprey
@limpid gull no information yet, but you can assume so, as the game that inspires AoC also has those
empty dragon
can you guys tell me how the augmention works?
what does the second class do to the main class?
limpid gull
Cool, cool
crystal beacon
Will all 8 archetypes be in alpha 1?
wild marsh
@empty dragon They will change your class and add new stuff to it. From more unique skills, to altered gameplay all together depending on the combination. Summoner to Necromancer for example will change your spells to undead summons. Here is a class list of them so you can get a better understanding.
reef osprey
@silk fractal i agree
doesn't even have to be through an ID. You can easily read out of the logs if someone isn't a real player. (No interaction with others, sole purpose is to farm for another account, transfers all his obtained stuff to another account, always logs in at the same time as the other account etc.)
@silk fractal allowing it is the wrong decision imo
limpid gull
Because I keep look at some of the older dungeon livestreams, and I'd be sad if we just had one dungeon at the very end of it. It'd be awesome if there's some that are like gatekeepers, and players would need to kill it before accessing the latter areas of the dungeon
wild marsh
Rip to me and my GF getting banned then @reef osprey
empty dragon
so if i choose rogue and the second class a ranger, what happens to my main class?
reef osprey
@wild marsh how? Will your girlfriend be your slave? only finding stuff so you can progress?
wild marsh
@empty dragon Check out that class list to see. There's not much info on them at the moment but you can see the wiki for more information.
empty dragon
there is no information at all
silk fractal
exactly, honestly I really hope steven keeps the human gm to monitor all that type of stuff + rmt'ing logs. Like for instance I as a player see this guy multiboxing(or the legit way of doing it with multi-pc with 10 char on follow), I report him. I want a human gm to check what I reported. This would be an instant ban for all those 10 accounts(150$ right down the drain for that person and this would not make it worth for him to do this). Same thing with RMT. With the proper human infrastructure, when you make something not worth doing, the ratio of people attempting to do it will significantly drop.
@reef osprey
tranquil willow
Steven did explain what happens to abilities when you add secondary class auguments
wild marsh
@tranquil willow He didn't explain each one though, which is what he's asking. He wants to know more information for Predator
reef osprey
@silk fractal he already said there will be human gms
silk fractal
yes on the wiki they explain it with the fighter and mage, if your primary is a fighter you have rush/charge ability, by going with mage, the charge/rush becomes instant and blinks on the target(augments the charge with the blink part). @wild marsh
tranquil willow
right, but you can get some ideas from his examples
silk fractal
yeah @reef osprey I know, I'm saying I hope he goes ham on it with multiboxing too
upbeat jolt
Steven did explain what happens to abilities when you add secondary class auguments
@tranquil willow lots of misinformation flying around because of speculation
silk fractal
so you don't gain more skills @wild marsh it morphs your own primary abilities based on your secondary, which means all the different fighters abilities will be different to an extent based on which secondary you took
upbeat jolt
Some say no extra skill when you get second class
Some say one extra skill.
mystic notch
Steven said each class will have 4 augment paths for every base ability
void vortex
Thanks you. I can't wait to ruin the game for other players
@plush zenith what a lovely ambition...

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Classes read this @wild marsh
primal holly
heyy
wild marsh
Yeah, it just changes your spells to meet the bridge between the two classes. I just watched the interview that explains it better. https://youtu.be/8AeuqaELjFg?t=1h05m04s here you go if you'd like to watch it.
primal holly
how long will the Beta Two test phase be available??
reef osprey
@primal holly couple of weeks at most
most likely just a few weeks
same with Beta 1
wild marsh
@primal holly Apparently Beta 1 and Beta 2 will be short. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIuaDIgsQlg&feature=youtu.be&t=57m22s This is the original video for that. "Short and Sweet" is the exact quote
primal holly
are they now planning for alpha 2 ? or is the beta soon?
primal holly
wait when is the game releasing?
wild marsh
I think that's still TBA
reef osprey
its mostly an assumption currently
@primal holly
but the popular estimates is Q3 2022
so in about 2 years
+/- 6months depending on the testing progress
gaunt chasm
Hold on I thought alpha 1 was this month? Not December
reef osprey
@gaunt chasm alpha 1 for braver of worlds + backers
so just a few people to prepare for the real alpha 1
glad sleet
Full alpha towards end of fall
gaunt chasm
Ah ok, so is the alpha 1 thats this month still under no NDA?
main raptor
Will AoC have an AA-inspired fishing system? Will guilds be doing guild runs to find and hold fishing hot spots? Will I be able to catch my fish, load my boat up with them, and pray I don't get ganked coming into port?
reef osprey
real alpha 1 can be expected to start in NOV/DEZ of this year
wild marsh
I believe all Alpha 1 and up are non NDA
silk fractal
do we know what are the 5 classes that will be available in alpha 1?
little lance
@main raptor as far as i know on the contesting front, yes, dont know about boat stuff
gaunt chasm
Great, so we’ll be able to view streamers in the next couple weeks. That’s awesome, I need more content 🙏🙏
reef osprey
@silk fractal Mage, Ranger, Fighter, Tank and Cleric
main raptor
@little lance not worried about boat stuff more broadly, worried about fishing. its the most important aspect hands down, all aa players know this
earnest knoll
There will also be monthly dev streams to look forward to Karlos 🙂
molten abyss
is alpha out?
empty fjord
alpha is in
reef osprey
@molten abyss no, come back in 3-4 months for that
gaunt chasm
@earnest knoll yeh I’ve been really enjoying them so far! Love the openness
silk fractal
do we know if secondaries and augment skills combinations for those 5 so a total of 25 classes will be available? @reef osprey
earnest knoll
Yea the open development is super good for community building
little lance
@main raptor the wiki says that fishing will be an active thing (no afk fishing) and it has been stated in other things that mob spawns as well as resources can be monopolized/contested so id assume same goes for fishing
reef osprey
@silk fractal secondary classes will only be implemented into alpha 2
so, no - just the base classes
silk fractal
well based on what I know they seem to take the @main raptor AA path for a lot of pvp aspects so I'd assume fishing would be similar and you could kill and steal their fishes but someone who knows more about it would be able to say
@reef osprey well that's perfect because I will only have access to alpha 2 haha
main raptor
Mm I just havn't seen anything about it anywhere or in any streams and I went dark on this game for 18 months due to irl reasons so there is alot of catch up to do
silk fractal
I'm curious to see how they will change the skills with augments, I hope there is different animations/vfx/possibly sound but doing all that for 64 classes would be a lot of work. any info? @reef osprey
reef osprey
@main raptor they keep life skills well hidden for now.
you will probably more information by the same time next year
main raptor
I'm hoping steven is taking inspiration from aa sports fishing before they ruined it. It was basically like fighting a pokemon battle for every fish and fish could make lots of money and thus prompted alot of player conflict and community content
reef osprey
@silk fractal we don't know exactly how extensive that will be
@main raptor AA fishing was amazing, i'd totally support them adapting a similar system
I'm gonna come for your blue marlin mate
silk fractal
yeah I remember ganking the fishing spot in AA so much money to be made, but then we had the fisher's rule where we don't gank other fishermans and I had my boat week 2 so money was decent(merchant ship week 1 lol) @main raptor
earnest knoll
@silk fractal they did release some vfx footage of some skills last dev stream
silk fractal
yeah I'm talking about augments tho that's just a primary skills(they look awsome tho) @earnest knoll
earnest knoll
Ahh right sorry
reef osprey
@silk fractal i'd assume there will be changed spell effects for certain augments that change the skill significantly.
Those that just add a dot, or a debuff will probably be the same
visual clarity is important though
main raptor
@silk fractal wow lucky, we had no fishers rule on my server. I would go so far as to say the battles over marlin spots were bigger/more frantic than fighting for that island turn-in that guilds always went to
cyan coral
After we see the stream from friday ,they shows us that massive dungeon,but is seems that only have one boss at the end.what u ppl think about it ?
main raptor
@cyan coral I wouldn't read too much into that
empty fjord
I think that's very unfinished, and will not reflect said dungeon when game is releaed
reef osprey
@cyan coral it's an open world dungeon,
also i think we have seen another minor boss or 2 in the pre-alpha footage of the same dungeon
silk fractal
@main raptor well tbf it was an unwritten rule but I was in Forestcrow and we were very hated for killing both our own faction and theirs on freedich to steal all their packs so we kinda made that rule so we'd be able to fish in peace and for some reason our faction followed it
reef osprey
can't quite recall though
uneven leaf
ignore that wrong chat
reef osprey
we'll see in alpha i suppose
sonic igloo
imagine thinking seeing a dungeon in pre alpha is a finished product
silk fractal
@reef osprey yeah I'm curious to see how it'll be, I kinda wish a significant amount of animations/vfx would change tho since like it would make the 64 classes more unique(obviously doesn't have to be all or it could be even just a colour reskin)
but again AA didn't do any changes and the game was pretty fun despite it, it's just wishful thinking at this point
main raptor
@sonic igloo to be fair there is an obscene number of people complaining about combat, fx, and the world being empty... not realising the game isn't even in alpha 1
reef osprey
@sonic igloo the raidboss literally had 2 different attacks, that kinda shows at what stage the dungeon was in development
silk fractal
yeah complaining about that stuff is dumb
rigid crow
@blazing orchid @idle siren I would love to know how you intend to balance the difference in power between turn based and action combat? The logical choice would be to use a risk/reward system where action combat more risky but more powerful to compensate if you have perfect targeting, but this causes the high end metagame to highly favor action combat.
Generally the project looks amazing, but as a long time MMO player and fellow game designer i can understand the scope of the ecosystem you are building ❤️
sonic igloo
^
silk fractal
the only thing that scares me from a point of view of graphics is that I hope they don't keep the same textures but again we're so far away from release there's good chances they make it look a loooot better. So I'm just waiting to see how it changes.
and just looking at the game from 1 year ago to now, it has already improved tremendously so if we see the same leap in another year
it'll look amazing
sonic igloo
i mean they talk about that very topic multiple times on friday's stream
i dont even
earnest knoll
@rigid crow I assume by turn based you mean tab target?
rigid crow
Yes
silk fractal
yeah they said it like 20 times haha @sonic igloo

did y'all skip the waterfall demos?

I just started following the game do you have a link?
