@idle siren hopefully all these pings are ok 🙂 will there be flavor based languages? like how the races in wow have human/orcish and then a racial language like elven

trim moon

@steady ocean Most games you just get a fish, and that's it. Just like in mining or lumberjacking

is there more info on how the threshold for corruption will be, for instance if a group of greens are in the best room in a dungeon and I get the 4 kills, am I in fear of losing gear that I worked for years to get if I die? @idle siren

What are the chances of me designing a weapon named after me, and it being in the game BlobFighter indeed

idle siren
#

@gaunt vortex fishing will be lucrative if done well

crystal beacon
#

PoE legendary buy in system huehuehue

main raptor
#

@idle siren will fishing be sort of passive like bdo/wow or will there be a pokemon style minigame like in AA or are you not sure yet/unable to say?

idle siren
#

@long eagle there are language specific lexicons in the game from a lore and immersion standpoint. They do not however have real player to player implications

winged knot
#

@idle siren will fishing be similar to AA?

tardy mortar
#

@glad oak, also, do you need any DevOps lead engineers with Ansible, Nix, k8s, and pub/sub systems engineering? Also a Sr. Software Engineer, and would you consider remote from Florida? lol (I was eyeing your careers page earlier today)

winged knot
#

mechanic wise

bold mulch
#

@idle siren would you consider the game to have 64 classes or you dont really count the augments as seperate classes ?

idle siren
#

@main raptor lake/coastal fishing will be less interactive. Deep sea fishing will have specific player mini game requirements, and equipment.

oak depot
#

@idle siren can I ask a crafting question - Does item deconstruction guarantee obtaining the recipe to reconstruct that item or is it RNG based? And can "all" items be deconstructed regardless of rarity?

@idle siren that is fantastic, thankyou so much

@idle siren is rogue going to have a perma-stealth that breaks upon entering combat?

serene valley
#

@idle siren Do you miss the white order? XD good to see you again firend

strong drum
#

guys slow down on the questions haha

idle siren
#

Ok. Sorry gotta run! ❤️

desert ivy
#

Rogues don't have true stealth

mystic notch
#

@idle siren will there be any events that affect the entire server?

mild bluff
desert ivy
#

Its more of a visible invisibility

wat

#

whats the duration on it

steady ocean
#

Alright folks, lets bring the questions back to community focused

desert ivy
#

We don't know we just know that you can still see rogues stealth

steady ocean
#

as in the community answers

limber girder
#

@idle siren In the wiki I saw that private taverns were listed under the processing artisan class. Does this mean that in order to run a tavern in your freehold you may need to master processing?

desert ivy
#

Its not supposed to be like wow where its straight up invisibility

timid snow
#

I HAVE BEEN SUMMONED

stray wyvern
#

@strong drum so even if I have rogue augmentations and decide to max out my skill points on damaging ablities and such I'll still be bullied into being a main healer?

twin basin
#

back to community speculation chat

green pagoda
#

Does anyone here know how to achieve ground mounts? Will u have to tame them with a husbandry skill? Or will it be achievable through drops?

civic rampart
#

sounds like rogue stealth will be a lot like infitraitor stealth in planetside 2, you can see them if you know what to look for, but still hard to spot

desert ivy
#

Ye pretty much

#

Like Halo camo

#

Can still see them if you know how to

past pewter
#

interesting

sick sage
#

Will you be able to build your race culture(different style)in another race nodes.

steady ocean
#

@limber girder At taverns, you make food and serve drinks, I believe that is why it is considered processing as you process raw materials to serve

tardy mortar
#

Or have a good graphics card in planetside 2's case

@stray wyvern its likely that picking a cleric will limit your DPS potential no matter how many skill points you put into it - your main class will be healer if you pick cleric - rogue archetype will likely just make your dps a bit more effective and returns heals for it or something - i would suggest going rogue main then cleric

steady ocean
#

@green pagoda Early mounts will be obtained from an early quest in the starting area

junior pagoda
#

are campfires impacted by the WEATHER

#

and do they attract orcs?

strong drum
#

@stray wyvern Also no one can bully you into doing anything but itsl likely that if you dont heal as a cleric youll find yourself struggling to find content groups or be effective at dps all together - Main a dps class if you dont like healing and pick cleric as archetype to allow yourself to potentially heal yourself more effectively

trim moon
#

@strong drum But cleric is gonna be the master of "life and death"

#

So is very very likely to have a viable spec of Death Cleric

#

not just with augments

civic rampart
#

There will most likely be cleric dps builds, but being the only healer specific class people will expect you to heal

strong drum
#

my apologies i didnt realise cleric was intended to swing both sides

#

being the only main healer class ye

desert ivy
#

Yea, clerics will be able to spec into damage if they want

stray wyvern
#

@strong drum thank you! the problem with switching them around is that the primary abilities of a cleric thematically fit the RP of an angel of death a lot more, being able to res, average HP of my party, have offensive abilities like "life bolt" and of course "staff combo" that I'm sure they're bound to make a scythe cosmetic for staves. It's a bummer that even with dps class augments and stat prioritization, I'm only useful as a main healer though. Seems like it defeats the purpose of giving me the choice to do it :/

strong drum
#

Then i suggest build how you want but dont que or advertise as a healer

Question on the Corruption System:

When mining a very valuable resource like finding a ore vein that requires long resource gathering time, it’s natural for players to be resource gatherers, who are also in a non-combative state, while mining.

It’s only natural a competing guild to try to ward people off that valuable resource to take it as their own and attack in the justification of competition and stopping other guilds from gaining a competitive advantage if that resource leads to better gear. However, if they were to attack a unsuspecting resource gatherer and potentially one shot them before they act, which is usually the case because the first person to be attacked is swarmed by a group of people ready to attack. Why is the attacking person being flagged as a corrupt, which is a system directed at griefers, when their intentions were purely based on healthy competition and the interest of their guild?

strong drum
#

@stray wyvern it seems i was wrong you can dps as cleric - just dont advertise or look for groups as a healer 🙂

desert ivy
#

Because they still attacked and killed a non combatant?

stray wyvern
#

@desert ivy may I ask how you know/able to speculate that clerics can spec dps? would love to read up on it cause I'm worried of leveling a cleric and not being able to do it 😒 thanks!

#

@strong drum thank you though!

desert ivy
#

Its been said multiple times in the past

steady ocean
#

@woeful vector If they want their guild's interests to be above another persons, then they will need to accept the consequences of killing non-combatants, aka corruption

runic crystal
#

Have all the Pantheon been announced? 5 are listed but thought there were 7 total.

strong drum
#

@stray wyvern you are welcome mate

steady ocean
runic crystal
#

@steady ocean Ah I see. I must look into it farther. Thanks!

tardy mortar
#

Is that wiki concidered a reliable source of info?

#

Like an official wiki?

steady ocean
#

it's based off of direct quotes from the devs, so pretty reliable

runic crystal
#

Believe its ran by the team

tardy mortar
#

okay perfect

#

ty

woeful vector
#

@steady ocean
But these consequences were implemented as a system to prevent griefing. I feel like PvP in the sake of healthy competition is what makes PvP great in MMO’s because you are tactically trying gain the upper hand against other guilds. Is that so wrong that I need to be flagged as corrupt, which was intended for griefers?

steady ocean
#

@woeful vector and pvp for the sake of pvp is built into the world via node & castle wars and sieges. Killing a random non-combatant is NOT in the spirit of the game as in it is not something that the devs want to encourage people to do. That being said, if you want to you can and accept the consequences

pulsar anvil
#

Will there be consequences to the death by pk of a mayor ?

steady ocean
#

@pulsar anvil assassination is not a thing if that is what you are asking. A mayor's death doesn't affect their role as far as I'm aware

dawn depot
#

They could make you an enemy of the state

desert ivy
#

@runic crystal @tardy mortar the wiki isn't run by Intrepid, it's run by @dark jungle and co but it is generally very accurate and gets constantly updated whenever new info comes in

woeful vector
#

@steady ocean

In the situation I wrote above, the people are not just random people, but a guild that is competing against your guild. I feel like the corruption system needs more finesse that can identify PVP grounded on healthy competition. Anyways thank you for answering my questions 👍

dark jungle
#

its actually just being updated with steven's new info from 5 minutes ago wikilove

runic crystal
#

I see, I figured because I seen Steven say something about an hour ago and the wiki added it in like 5 min after

#

Yeah

steady ocean
#

@woeful vector Your guild can start a war on their guild, and it will flag you as combatants I believe, so there will be mechanics in place for that

tardy mortar
#

@desert ivy Okay ty. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't just some randomly run source. i found it and was skeptical at first, but most of it seems legit based on all the interviews i have seen and heard.

#

@dark jungle TY LEX 🙂

undone magnet
#

Does anyone know if we have info how on easy islands will be able to access at launch? I know boats and swimming will exist but I doubt we will get a boat immediatly and swimming might have a fatigue mechanic or sharks in the water

neon rapids
#

Hey, I saw that there's editions of pre-orders/backings sold on kickstarter which allows one or two days of early access to the game on release... Is it still possible to gain access to that perk?

desert ivy
#

No

woeful vector
#

@steady ocean but that only happens when guild leaders are present and put to a majority vote which by then your competing guild has already gathered this valuable resource that leads to better gear which potentially tips the scales of the fight to their side if the war starts. Thank you for being patient with me, I just wish AoC to be perfect 😄

steady ocean
#

@undone magnet Probably not easy as both personal caravans and normal boats take boat parts to assemble, so it will take time for us to get to that stage of a node

desert ivy
#

Kiclstarter is no longer accessible unless you already bought a pack in 2017

undone magnet
#

Yeah I was mainly wondering if we knew how viable swimming to islands would be or if the devs are going to have mechanics that prevent that.

misty pollen
#

@neon rapids also they have said that the headstart is only going to be on a couple servers not all so you can avoid the headstart people if you want

heavy pier
#

Is killing over resources considered griefing? I feel griefing is purely motivated by distaste for a guild or person, there are community driven reprocussions for killing a person repeatidly without cause.

#

I speak with a voice of curiosity and nervousness for the curroption system, as a player that likes to pvp.

woeful vector
#

No I dont think it is but the Corruption System will flag you as one in its current state

arctic sky
#

@heavy pier single time to kill a non combatant isn't going to be a huge problem.. The more you do it the worse your penalty

#

If the person you are trying to kill smacks you back even once you won't gain corruption if you kill them

#

They will lose less if their resources if they fight back

#

So the non combatant has a choice... Just die and lose more resources to you just to give you corruption or fight back and drop less if you end up killing them

heavy pier
#

So.. as an attacker I can attack someone down to critical and bully them away from resources..

#

(if they dont fight back)

woeful vector
#

But they would gain more by flagging the attacker as a corrupted. I can see this exploited by handing over your items to a friend and you go there only with a pickaxe and and not attack back

arctic sky
#

@heavy pier there will also be a lot of different ways for meaningful pvp instead of just played griefing constantly. You can go after caravans if you want resources. They are pretty much walking pinatas pvp zones you opt in to

steady ocean
#

@woeful vector If a non-combatant dies they still gain experience debt. You should read up on corruption and player death. I think it will clear some of your issues with the system up @heavy pier https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Player_death

#

Remember this is not a discussion channel, please take discussion to #aoc-discussion

heavy pier
#

@arctic sky I'd like to tread a bit away from the word "griefin" and opt into a mindset of "organic pvp generated around resources". I'll take a read. Ty.

arctic sky
#

Beat me to the link@steady ocean

dense moss
#

Sorry if this has been answered a bunch already, but is there a time limit to purchasing any of the pre-order packs? Like will I be able to see Alpha 1/2 content and then decide to purchase Beta access, or do I need to do that earlier?

steady ocean
#

The devs will give us advance notice if they plan to remove the Alpha 2/Beta access from the pre-order packs. The next pre-order packs change on Aug 5th to the new cosmetics, so if you like the current cosmetics it may be a good idea to purchase before the 5th @dense moss

dense moss
#

Does purchasing the pre-order only get the cosmetics form that pack, or all the ones after as well? @steady ocean

steady ocean
#

@dense moss It unlocks whatever tier of pack and those below it. So if you bought the voyager plus pack ($375) it would unlock all of the cosmetics that are currently available. Additionally, once you purchase a pack, you can buy individual cosmetics at that tier or lower in the next pre-order cosmetic theme instead of needing to buy the entire pack

dense moss
#

Thank you!

undone magnet
#

Will variants of the mount/caravans skins sold in the cash shop/preorder also be obtainable through regular gameplay? Or is it is just the armor cosmetics?

steady ocean
#

The devs have said reskins are possible. We don't know to what extent though

desert ivy
#

Variants may be, but the exact versions won't be

icy herald
#

Do we have a scale for the cosmetic pets?
For example how big is the Hulk thing in the current pack going to be compared to our character models?

ruby swift
#

Unknown. But you can look at previous Ashes APOC footage for an idea on the pangolin and other small pets that have already been rendered in game. The troll, zombie and others that would be larger have NOT been said to be to scale, so could be minis.

idle mirage

@dense moss It unlocks whatever tier of pack and those below it. So if you bought the voyager plus pack ($375) it would unlock all of the cosmetics that are currently available.

@steady ocean So to clarify, I wouldnt be able to go back and say get the pre-order bonuses from three months ago if I bought it now?

ruby swift
#

Correct

oak depot
#

did they ever say if the leveling progressing is linear versus logarithmic in terms of time spent against equal level mobs?

steady ocean
#

You would be able to get the bonuses such as in-game time, alpha/beta access, just not past cosmetics. @idle mirage

ruby swift
#

But not beyond what is offered in current packages. You would NOT be able to get Alpha 1 access that closed in Aug 2018 by buying a pack now. Can only move forward, not back.

idle mirage
#

Thats a bummer, I just saw the pack from March to July after discovering the game this week

ruby swift
#

IF they open it up again, sure. Because that is future.

real yew
#

Why is it that 3 years+ of ppl are asking for refunds on kickstarters lol? Some never received emails, keys, no alpha access...hmmm🤔

ruby swift
#

Maybe they were account speculators that were not able to sell those accounts. Many reasons.

mystic notch
#

Is it known if the world will be round or flat, for example if I go off the map on one side will it bring me to the opposite side of the map?

real yew
#

But can you imagine spending $1000 and not receiving or knowing anything in 3+ years

steady ocean
#

They could have reached out to customer support. In any case, your question may be better suited for #aoc-discussion

#

@mystic notch The devs are still discussing and testing whether they want a globe or flat

arctic sky
#

@mystic notch neither is confirmed

mystic notch
#

Ok thank you both

#

I really hope it’s a glove

real yew
#

I asked here to see in case someone was a backer and could confirm they actually was emailed or received a key or any access. A few ppl were saying they were backers earlier.

tardy mortar
#

Do we have an idea of size of the world map?

oak depot
#

480 km ^ 2

crystal beacon
#

The game is still in Pre-alpha why would keys be out?

tardy mortar
#

Sure it's been asked a million times just can't seem to find it

steady ocean
#

480 km sq of the overworld, 100km sq of the underrealm @tardy mortar

tardy mortar
#

ty

oak depot
tardy mortar
#

ooo is this the legit map

#

I didn't think it existed yet

oak depot
#

it's all we have so far

steady ocean
#

With community embellishments yes

tardy mortar
#

ofc

#

thats pretty big 😮

arctic sky
#

@real yew I'm a kickstarter backer... I have my key... There are lots of people that do

#

Anyone saying they don't need to talk to CS or they did something shady

crystal beacon
#

Im from Souteast asia. Can I play on NA server without using VPN?

steady ocean
#

Yes, regions are not locked @crystal beacon

crystal beacon
#

Thank you

twilit cloud
#

Get that VPN for less lag

crystal beacon
#

I have NordVPN. thanks for the info

arctic sky
#

@crystal beacon price is also same everywhere

crystal beacon
#

Thank you

strong drum
#

So to reiterate - im OCE but if my friends from other countries want to play OCE they can do so with less lag with a VPN? would they still be competetive or would this purely just enable them to play around on OCE

steady ocean
#

It may decrease the ping/latency some, but no matter what it is still traveling from their location all the way to the OCE area, so it won't be the same as playing in that local area

earnest knoll
#

@strong drum the thing with oce is that people from say NA will have less issues on OCE than OCE will have on NA as the net quality is generally higher overall, so your friends using a vpn should still be competetive if not at a small disadvantage

strong drum
#

I guess well have to test it out really until then we wont know what the servers can handle - im just curious because in atlas i have an international company and we can all play together with almost the same ping - it may be a special type of international server or soemthing though

arctic sky
#

Just test your ping and see what works for you

low lantern
#

@strong drum I don’t think they need a VPN to play, no server locks and it wouldn’t help with ping

pine patio
#

For the voyager plus pre-order pack is there any way to check if the name I want to reserve is available before I buy it?

steady ocean
#

Not until your tier becomes eligible to reserve your name (it goes in priority of kickstarter backers > summer backers > pre-order backers)

#

That being said, someone would have to reserve your specific name on every server to deny you the chance to use it

pine patio
#

Gotcha, and pre-order backers are all that is currently available now right

hardy crystal
#

That map is nice

#

But ms goes put the window with family teleports on 30min cds

frigid edge
#

When a Node levels up will the buildings that are currently there ie:blacksmith, market etc... stay and new ones become unlocked or will the node "reset" to be built again?

steady ocean
#

They will stay, and new building spots will become available to build on

frigid edge
#

Thanks!

raw gyro
#

So besides the Tulnar, is this all the playable races that will be available to players? No love for gnomes?

steady ocean
#

Just everything planned for launch, more races may be possible in future expansions

arctic sky
#

There are already a lot of races to choose from

raw gyro
#

Well we got 4 races, with two sides to each race. In the end it's 8 cultures, but 4 races.

desert ivy
#

5 races

raw gyro
#

oh yeh Tulnar i forgot

#

big mystery on that one

silver beacon
#

From the sounds of it, Tulnar is the biggest racial variety you'll get to have

raw gyro
#

I'm thinking it's just gonna be the 4 races already revealed beside the Tulnar, but they'll have some 'underground living' effects showing on them.
Course this is just a biggo guess based off wiki stuff

silver beacon
#

No, they've been stated to have humanoid, mammalian, reptilian, and more features

#

But supposedly they don't equal furry

raw gyro
#

Hrm interesting, i forget that stuff

silver beacon
#

This makes me think it's just a "not all rectangles are squares" situation, but that's just my reasoning

raw gyro
#

Hope so. A lizard people would be coo.

silver beacon
#

I'm just hoping I can be a cute fox guy

strong drum
#

wiki states 9 races including tulnar - i understand you may consider the parent races the only true races but i mean in real life we have chinese and indonesian who are different races but both asian

silver beacon
#

Yes but in terms of a game that's 5 races

strong drum
#

so i feel like its truely 9

silver beacon
#

5 races with 9 sets of customization options

raw gyro
#

^

steady ocean
#

If the developers say there are 8 + 1 races, then it is 8 + 1 races

silver beacon
#

Imo every race should share all customization options, but eh

#

Devs can get terms wrong too

steady ocean
#

You are confusing yourself @silver beacon There are two races of dwarves, two races of elves, two races of humans, two races of orcs and the Tulnar. This totals 8 + 1

strong drum
#

it depends what we consider a race - and what is considered a parent race and whats the difference - if the customisation between 2 eleves races set them marginally apart thats 2 races

silver beacon
#

On a societal level, it's 9 races. On a game level, it's 5 races

proven root
#

I feel like adding new races to this game will be ALOT of work compared to maybe some other mmos where it would be like, heres a character model, heres the lore, all armor now compatible with this race... enjoy

steady ocean
#

You don't compare a race of elves to a race of men. You compare a race of elves to other elves. Elves, dwarves, men and orcs are different species @silver beacon

Yeah that's the reason why FFXIV uses like 5 character models

raw gyro
#

Oop, perhaps move this over to AoC Discussion peeps

silver beacon
#

Yeah, tag me if you want to keep going, otherwise I'll keep considering this as 5 races

twin basin
#

how many blades of grass are gonna be in this game?

proven root
#

12 or so

ruby swift
#

Billions, possibly trillions. All the blades of grass that can fit on the head of a pin stuck in the eye of an angel.

proven root
#

thats what i said, 12 trillions

swift meadow
#

Is there a path where a character does not have to choose a religion to worship?

ruby swift
#

Yes

#

You will miss out on part of the games lore and progression, but you are not required to take a religion

arctic sky
#

You just lose out on the augments

swift meadow
#

So its just a detriment then?

ruby swift
#

Steven explained that the gods of Verra are real and in game. You don't have to believe in them, they may still smite you just the same.

#

There is no "I am an unbeliever" benefit planned or announced so far.

swift meadow
#

Be kind of unfortunate to get railroaded into following a religion though. Or otherwise be less than.

arctic sky
#

The gods in game saved your race...

#

But this is a discussion now

twin basin
#

how did the gods in game save your race

#

now its a question

proven root
#

smart. noice

ruby swift
#

The divine portals they opened to Sanctus that allowed the parent races to escape the incoming wave of corruption that destroy Verra. If you are looking for a reason to play as an unbeliever, look to the Tulnar, because they were the ones who showed up late for the ark sailing.

arctic sky
#

@twin basin ^

steady ocean
#

"Long ago, the world of Verra was besieged by a great calamity brought about by the primary antagonists of the world: The Ancients, and The Others. A corruption befell the land, twisting and perverting every facet of nature, spawning hideous beings of every description; from troll-like creatures to towering behemoths. Nothing escaped its touch.

Granted by divine intervention from the Goddess of Creation, much of the population fled Verra through towering gateways, seeking refuge in a world void of magic. The world of Sanctus."

arctic sky
#

But the gods created the under realm for the tulnar to survive

steady ocean
raw gyro
#

it's been revealed bout cooking and how if you use a special oven you can really mark up the effects and benefits of the food created. BUT, does the food with special benefits need an oven? Like could I just cook the food over a campfire out in wilderness? Sorta like BOTW

ruby swift
#

You could, but the benfits would be lower. The oven system augments the food to higher values.

#

Better oven, better food, longer buff or better values.

raw gyro
#

ah i see. well it's good to know it's not cutoff just cuz i won't have an oven

ruby swift
#

Though there are no survival game mechanics in Ashes like hunger and thirst, you can look to them for examples. Eat raw meat, no benefit or minimal, cooked meat better, savory meat pie, even better.

#

There may be public use ovens as part of the nodes progression, too early to tell.

unkempt depot
#

Will there be any crafts like skate boards or kick scooters that you can perform grinds on dungeon environments as a bard class to perform for your friends?

ruby swift
#

They are going for a high fantasy feel, so doubt, but if they can fit it into their theme, sure.

raw gyro
#

^Bard Rogue = Bard Skater. Cuz u know, the need for high dexterity 😄

crystal beacon
#

Pro Skating is a Pyr'Ai thing

summer elbow
#

I didn't really notice anything in the gameplay footage we've been given, but... there's gonna be hair physics.... Right? notawesome

ruby swift
#

Yep

steady ocean
#

There should be yes

ruby swift
#

The character creator when finished should have all the stuffz.

summer elbow
#

I hope we get a lot of decent hairstyle options... And some reaaaally long ones, at least for elves

crystal beacon
#

Do we have any information on how large the game will be? As in download size. I know plenty of my friends were turned off ESO because the game just took so long to download, and took up so much space.

steady ocean
#

The isn't fully developed, so I doubt even the devs know that @crystal beacon

dull ruin
#

that has to be the strangest reason to be turned away from a game

arctic sky
#

MMOs normally take up large spaces

ruby swift
#

<speculation> probably 80-100 Gig.

crystal beacon
#

I guess the question is if compression will be a priority before launch. The destiny 2 devs say they have the capability to get the game from 98gb down to 50-60. But everyone playing the game would have to redownload it from scratch. So they arent gonna ship it.
Im asking because if its not a priority before launch it prob will never be considered.

steady ocean
#

You can always try to make a forum post directed to the devs and see if you can get an official answers

crystal beacon
#

Yeah I should try, on reddit or is there official forums?

steady ocean
crystal beacon
#

thankyou

silk fractal
#

Usually big games like this let's you get all your files downloaded a few days before launch @crystal beacon

#

So it shouldn't be an issue unless they are still on dial up

ruby swift
#

Start polishing those tin cans and buy new string.

Its not about getting into the game fast on day one. Its just an issue alot of devs willingly ignore. Game companies often admit to just not caring about game compression.
Because the "real gamers" have good internet and good PC's, when the majority of a player base is usually made up of more casual players who dont have those things.

Am I to understand that they won't allow scripting or single source inputs for quads, but they'll allow kvm, style inputs to swtch between different accounts?

For instance sextuplets running around 1 shoting? like they did in wow?

Probably closer to Q4 for Beta 1. Unless their testing in the Alpha stages goes incredibly well.

I'm interested in possibly getting in to the beta, but I got no clue when it's to even hit the download screens and I got no clue where I will be when it does happen

pliant ocean
#

If you don't mind the price, Alpha 2 is where you want to be. They will be persistent servers. So once it is out you can play a year ahead and all the way up until the full release.

#

Great time to test out the different classes so that come full release, you know what you want to play.

250 is a bit steep to play an unfinished game, that's the way I look at it. I was thinking maybe get beta 1, but I quite want to know when can I assume it'll happen

@wise olive yes

last name is optional

wise olive
#

@reef osprey Appreciate it!

@full scroll you don't play an unfinished game
you help them test it

that steep price was exactly made to discourage people who "just want to play" the new shiny game
that's what the launch is for

full scroll
#

Yeah, and I'm all up for testing stuff

#

I really love giving feedback

reef osprey
#

@full scroll that's great to hear, engaged testers are always nice to have.
Just to put the $ 250 pack into perspective:
You get 90$ worth of ingame time
You get 100$ worth of embers (future shop currency)
which leaves you with $ 60 you pay for the cosmetics + the alpha access

it's still a steep price, but if you are convinced that you'll play on release, then the value is there

I'm following some of the discussions kind of closely, lately it's the DPS meter discussion that is getting kind of heated. I found the development update from 30 April, 1h06m in where Steven discuss his views on it (can't link it because of new account cooldown). I would love some pointers to where else he discuss this even if he just reiterates the same points.

@crystal beacon i don't think we have heard much from Steven's front apart from that.

Hello, I had a question about purchasing the $375 pre-order bundle. I just recently stumbled across ashes and think it looks amazing for what it is so far. I want to purchase the pre-order bundle but wait until alpha-1 comes out so that I have more of an idea of what gameplay looks like at that point. Do you think the pre-order bundle will be for sale when alpha-1 comes out?

reef osprey
#

@low whale welcome :)
Yes, they will be.
If the bundle ever was to disappear, then Intrepid will provide us with a notice a couple of weeks before that would happen.

low whale
#

@reef osprey Thank you very much for the answer! Super excited for this game to come out. Going to play it so much if it does 🙂

crystal beacon
#

@reef osprey Cool, thanks!

Steven seems adamant on keeping dps meters, logs and even dps dummys out, Since it's such a sensitive point for many mmo players I feel it would relieve some tension being overly clear of why this is the case. On the wiki it just states they won't exists, having the thoughts behind the design surely would remove a lot of "unnecessary" discussion in between potential and decided players. Like what he mentions on the development update from April.

reef osprey
#

@crystal beacon there has been quite a lot of discussion about it on the discord as well.
I guess he will eventually address their stance towards them once more officially, but right now it doesn't seem to be on top of his priority list.

Feel free to join us in #aoc-discussion though, we are happy to discuss the stance on DPS meters for you (there are valid arguments in both factions after all).
Then we can keep this channel for questions 🙂

that was the old way
the new way (well, half a year old ++) is that node vanishes if successful siege

As from experience from other games where it is bannable and counts as "account sharing / rmt"

Also if you buy an account, the legitimate owner may send i ticket after a year or two when you have maxed chars and lots of money and basically take the account back, you wont be able to do a thing about it since " But i bought it from another guy for real money" wont cut it for devs 😄

Hello ! I have friends from multiple countries in EU, will there be an global european server for us to gather on and play all together please ? Or will we have to regroup on a specific national one ?

crystal beacon
#

Probably one EU with multiple servers to choose from, like WoW.
But that reminds me that there are some issues with that, like people refusing to speak/write English. So you get this whole group of people talking Spanish and then a bunch German...
So i hope there are some DE / IT / RU / etc only servers

haughty turret
#

I mean I assume there will be a server for each language so people refusing to speak english can just play on their national server whereras the european one will be for people that acknowledge english being the only language to speak with

When they say things drops at 11 am does it mean east or west time?

upbeat jolt

I doubt it Syphens, Cagli

rocky vapor
#

Does the tank have taunt abilities, and does taunting work in PvP if so?

junior sky
#

there will be RU only servers, they said that much on twitter. If there is RU servers there will most likely be DE / EN servers too. Maybe even SP / IT / FR.
Nobody will be locked out of any servers tho so russians can join the EN servers or the DE servers if they like

sharp hare
#

Im pretty sure they have data of which countries have bought how many packages so they can prepare for bare minimum of servers per country/continent etc

junior sky
#

there is no information on the specific classes and archtypes yet. We will have to wait till after the alpha 1 and 2 @rocky vapor

rocky vapor
#

Ouf okay

crystal beacon
#

@rocky vapor Taunt wouldn't work in PvP, unless the (only) option would be that the target your enemy selected would be appointed to you, when you taunt him/her.

sinful lagoon
#

Im the past, taunt forced targeting in PvP.

rocky vapor
#

Does that mean there's no auto attacking in the game?

#

But also, why not just have a player just lose control and cast random spells at the target upon PvP taunt? Ideas for the devs perhaps. 🤔

ebon star
#

No auto attacking with the hybrid system

sharp hare
#

PvP is flag/toggle type, if you dont want it cant be forced on you

ebon star
#

You gotta swing your weapon

rocky vapor
#

@sharp hare Well, PvP will be force on you in the world anyway, right?

sharp hare
#

Nope, if you dont want to you dont have to do it, youll be killed but you dont have to fight back 🙂

rocky vapor
#

Yeah, so you can be killed whether you like it or not.

ebon star
#

It's open world pvp but fighting back reduces how much can be stolen from you

sharp hare
#

If you are not in spesific activity that allow uncorrupted pvp, ppl who kill you get corruption if you dont fight back

#

Yes, they can kill you as many times as they want, like someone mentioned earlier in general section : " Just go into dungeon kill the mobs and players and roll over them" well if you do that in the end of the day youll be corrupted with a million negative exp if no one fights back

ebon star
#

^

rocky vapor
#

So what's the difference if you add taunt to PvP? Sounds like a fun mechanic.

sharp hare
#

Exeptions will most likely be guild war dec etc, i think there will be some kind of mechanic like this : If you are in a war with a spesific guild, you wont be needed to flag to kill them, they will be considered as mobs" because if you are in a war with a guild, you meet enemy on grinding spot, you activate flag to attack enemy guild and he runs to another player that is not war with you, you end up killing both leaving you corrupted

ebon star
#

Tanks taunts abilities as for what we have tested is just aggro building for NPCs have not seen a taunt for pvp yet, but there is a charge and pull.

rocky vapor
#

^ That's pretty cool still.

crystal beacon
#

if i buy Wayfarer pack now, will i be able also to upgrade it to ie. Voyager pack before game launch?

ebon star
#

Tanks have cc as well

sharp hare
#

Mac there might be a possibility of spesific packages to be removed IF they fill spesific quota like 10 000 players for A2 or something like that

#

Just a hunch no certainty

ebon star
#

They will announce when upgrades to certain testing levels go away

#

You can slowly upgrade or even wait for the cosmetics you want just watch along with development.

Question: Will there ever be another backer round in the near future? I really want to back the project, but i missed a lot so, if there is any hint in future last chance grabs, im all waiting:)

stuck girder
#

For how much longer will the Voyager Plus pack be in the shop?

sharp hare
#

If you want to enter the game Alpha 2 is your only choice atm, i doubt they will add any new things for A1, i think they have enought testers for that 😄

coral raven
#

Lmao can you imagine a Rogue/Tank hitting an enemy with aggro in PvP and they can be attacked by their allies and take your appearance xD

#

Obviously that would need a high cool down

strong drum
#

I have a question, not really gameplay related but something that came to mind. A particular country nont naming any names has a history of unapoligetically stealing and copying ideas from other developers/countries. Will AoC have anyway to prevent that?

sharp hare
#

Lick like earlier mentioned they will announce when they will remove spesific packages IF they will do it

fading latch
#

@rough meadow Kickstarter wont be coming back around. The pre order packs is all thats available to support the game

ebon star
#

@rough meadow unlikely to see something like the ks or summer backer packages again but who knows what the devs decide to change with how they market

stuck girder
#

alright, thank you

ebon star
#

@strong drum no real way to prevent that but get publishers to also buy license to have your game on their servers for play too

sly tangle
#

Question: Are the cosmetics from previous preorder packages unobtainable or likely to make a return at some point?

peak kindle
#

Is there any information on system requirements the game is gonna have?

ebon star
#

Once cosmetics leave the store they are gone

strong drum
#

Yeah its a shame - this particular country doesnt seem to abide by any international laws and will exploit any opportunity arisen - hopefully AoC isnt cloned too

fading latch
#

Its definitely accessible for lower end PC players. Just dont expect the best graphics. Even then, i had decent visuals and could see detail with everything turned off

young wind
#

Do you think someone could steal my account if they have access to my kickstarter?

#

I can't get into my original kickstarter account and it scares me now lol

sharp hare
#

Contact the support and most likely via various verifications youll be able to get it back if you have forgotten your login etc

#

Person who steals an account by using password generators etc willnever be able to get your account permanently to himself IF you have purchace info / receipt info + verification of yourself etc there are many ways.

#

But that is how its done in other games with reasonable and active support, not sure how its done with ashes just assumptions ^_^

young wind
#

I think ashes uses the original key they sent out after kickstarter finished but that was years ago. I should do better record keeping fuuu

fading latch
#

Yes keys were sent out almost 2 years ago

sharp hare
#

There are always ways, try to contact official support and figure it out, if you are entitled to something and you havent claimed it yet

fading latch
#

Check your spam folder too. Sometimes it will be there

#

Also go through the process of recovery via Kickstarter

young wind
#

I claimed it I'm just afraid someone will steal my account because my kickstarter might be compromised

#

yeah I did that sent them a support email but they have no phone number

#

I also sent a support ticket to ashes that someone may have my original kickstarter code

fading latch
#

Have you tried applying it to your Intrepid account?

stray dome
#

I heard the Alpha One comes this month, is this true?

young wind
#

I did a while ago.

fading latch
#

And did it say used? Or is it on there?

#

@stray dome supposedly

young wind
#

I used it a while ago thats what I'm saying

fading latch
#

Then your fine

young wind
#

nack in 2018 december

fading latch
#

Yeah ur fine then

#

Its applied now and cant be taken off

#

Nor can someone else put ur key into their account

#

As its a unique key

young wind
#

Yeah but when you try to recover your account they ask for that key as a means of proving it was your original account and that is long gone.

#

or it was on the kickstarter account which I do not have access to anymore.

fading latch
#

If youre still concerned. Change ur email and passwords on both Kickstarter and Intrepid

#

And go through recovery if u cant access

#

Thats all the advice we can give you

young wind
#

I'm probably just paranoid. Well when my ticket goes through I will ask them to put a note in or something.

#

Having an old Braver of Worlds account will do that I guess. God I can't wait for Alpha1!

solemn finch
#

I saw somewhere that alpha 2 isn’t going to end? That it’ll keep going till launch. Does anyone know anything about this?

verbal shard
#

Is there any indication on who is gonna publish the game for Europe? Is it gonna be the same company or some other? If yes than which one?

tulip hatch
#

Alpha 2 is persistent testing, once the game launches A2 will become the testing server according to previous statements by the developers

#

My.games is the publisher for EU
Intrepid plans on self publishing in OCE and NA

onyx knoll
#

@verbal shard my.games are the ones publishing in the EU currently

verbal shard
#

oh no....

onyx knoll
#

They have 0 freedom with the game

gusty fable
#

Anyone played Age of Conan? Is the combat system similar to that game?

tulip hatch
#

Intrepid has ensured that Intrepid controls all creative control, the game will be identical to NA both cash shop and server quality per their contract

steady ocean
#

Much more in depth @gusty fable

upbeat yarrow
#

(Only if you know) Why is Intrepid not publishing it itself in EU? :3

crystal beacon
#

Aren't they reconsidering my.games as the publisher?

verbal shard
#

Well ok

#

That's actually good

#

We won't see the same crap as with Revelation then

tulip hatch
#

If Intrepid were to self publish due to the EU laws they would have to delay launch for the EU this contract ensures EU launches with NA

onyx knoll
#

We don't know that for sure. We have a vague mention of Steven saying he's going to be givig a statement concerning the state of the shop in EU not working, but nothing that says they are changing provider. Maybe but i wouldnt spread rumors about it

tulip hatch
#

Intrepid has not stated reconsidering my.games as a publisher they have addressed that they are investigating the issues purchasing from their store and will provide an update on that.

upbeat yarrow

That is nice to know. Thank you 🙂 @tulip hatch

I know that the cosmetics in the shop swap over on the 5th of August, but I haven’t been able to find any information on what they’ll be swapping to.

Has there been any information distributed about what will be available in the shop past the 5th?

There will be an announcement today

we did get some leaks however a pet, caravan and mount skins

That is the mount yes

undone wadi
#

Do you know if the skins from previous packages can be bought? I would like to know before I make a purchase

tulip hatch
#

No you can only purchase future cosmetics once you have a pack, once the cosmetics are gone they dont return

undone wadi
#

Aww, that's too bad. Some of those skins were great!

#

No reason to wait any further then

tulip hatch

You may prefer future cosmetics over the current ones so theres no rush either c:

Is it known wether family summoning has any requirements to perform other than just being in the same family; lets say I have a second account with 7 (if that many are possible) level 1 Characters on there and position them all relevant places while being in the same family, Would people be able to such "alt" accounts just as a way of fast-travel.

steady ocean
#

Gives a nice overview of what the expected requirements/limits are

oak depot
#

to be fair, they shouldn't allow character to summon if they are level 1 (not sure if they will). Note, I said "summon" not "be summoned". Perhaps level 10 at the earliest?

wispy musk
#

Thanks but I've already read this, I don't really see anything in there that would make what I said impossible

oak depot
#

@wispy musk I mean what you suggest is theoretically possible with what we know

steady ocean
#

You can't summon your own alts, you would need someone else to summon them @wispy musk

oak depot
#

@steady ocean he said separate account with multiple alts

#

the alts just keep summoning the main other accoutn to various locations

wispy musk
#

I feel this would just become a norm for the less casual player if this would exist, just as it is currently in Classic WoW.

steady ocean
#

Then in that scenario that is probably possible, but remember that you need to level all of those alts up for them to be effective at gathering the higher level resources. You can ask over in #aoc-discussion what others think as this is more of a discussion. One last thing I'll say though is that you will want to be a part of a family that is more useful for dungeons/raiding/guild activities and using your spot for alts will really dampen your ability to be effective @wispy musk

onyx knoll
#

This system will need a lot of testing in alpha so we can figure out how to make it difficult to abuse. For now yes you could use multiple accounts as fast travel anchors

oak depot
#

*gateways 😉

tulip hatch
#

Thats a good question for a forum post or a livestream Q&A
The family summon was a new concept not mentioned before so we have little information regarding its restrictions and capabilities

oak depot
#

I mean, it only works if multi-boxing is allowed

#

otherwise, your 2nd account is technically in violation

onyx knoll
tulip hatch
#

This is not a channel for speculation or discussion so please continue that in #general-discussion or #aoc-discussion
It is a valid concern and would make for a good discussion!

Thanks for the intrest in the question guys, And granted you'd need a second PC or laptop lying around for this to work.

But I just wanted to bring it up to see if it was something that was already talked about. I'll move over to the discussion channel ❤️

#

Oh snal

tulip hatch
#

blobheart Thank you

#

Now we may continue with Questions and Answers c:
Take comments/discussions to the appropriate channels

delicate idol
#

My question is about the % damage dealt = % exp given to seperate groups. I know Steven talked about this in the latest developer update. But what about healers? Will their heal work the same as damage? (Might've been asked, but still wanting to know)

azure knot
#

its party based dmg, so if u are healer in party, u get same % like whole pt

steady ocean
#

Only damage counts towards the %dmg done by a group. The experience a group earns is then split amongst the group members.

delicate idol
#

Alright, thank you!

azure knot
#

u can do solo dmg too, but you will fight with other potential groups, so it will be tiny fraction

oblique scarab
#

So would that mean a small 2 man group would l faster because more exp potential trial between the 2 or is the amount of exp greater in a group? Like how some mmos have increased exp based on party size.

steady ocean
#

@oblique scarab try asking in #aoc-discussion to get a more in depth response/discussion

grizzled latch
#

Up to 40% bonus exp in group i think

oblique scarab
#

But this is the questions tab

#

And it's a question..

grizzled latch
#

So 140% in 8 man group, split 8 ways 17.5% per person

oblique scarab
#

I dont make the rules I just yeet em out a window. Also ty @grizzled latch

azure knot
#

example: its 100 exp from killing mob at 100%, with full party its 40% boost so 140exp / current party size

errant chasm
#

so the wiki says alpha 2 is estimated to be 10k players what if 100k people buy into alpha 2? will they open more slots or like a lottery?

slender axle
#

Im coooooming im cooooooooooming

oblique scarab
#

Right but there is an additional bonus exp % depending on group sozw.

azure knot
#

yes

grizzled latch
#

It caps at 40%, lower for smaller groups

stable plover
#

@errant chasm I'm thinking that wording on wiki is wrong since 10k is the A1 number

steady ocean
#

@oblique scarab I don't think it is known, you can try asking on the official forums on the question megathread and see if you can get an official response. https://forums.ashesofcreation.com/

cedar thicket
#

What's the difference between the 2 "types" of a particular race?

azure knot
#

its prolly not final anyway, as they still balance exp amounts and progression

slender axle
#

@cedar thicket left and right

oblique scarab
#

Racial passives/abilities, lore and looks @cedar thicket

cedar thicket
#

Wow, thanks. Now I know everything i wanted

crystal flax
#

Most things other than the base racial features
Their cultures are different, there's racial augments, they'll look different

cedar thicket
#

When are we going to get the info about racials?

onyx knoll
#

The architecture is different too

crystal flax
#

If you mean augments, probably not a while still

grizzled latch
#

Racials will probably come after classes

fair yew
#

we may get some racial stuff in alpha 1 but that isn't confirmed

oblique scarab
#

The racial abilities and in depth info will come as testing is made. No eta on those.

cedar thicket
#

Ok, thanks

oblique scarab
#

I just wish they would show us some Summoner and Bard info.

Have we learned anything about (open)world bosses? Will they just be zergable or will you need a brain?

Would love to see racials that are node based. I.e Dwarves getting increased X in mountain ranges etc.

How often do the devs visit the forums?

fair yew

all the time

light glen
#

Discord?

steady wharf
#

In regards to nodes, is node type going to be randomized per server? Like on one server a node is scientific and one a different server that same node is economic.

fair yew
#

also all the time

crystal beacon
#

@light glen form what I understand they have a PR team that goes on the forums and produces reports for the devs which are discussed in meetings

grizzled latch
#

Nodes are static types

oblique scarab
#

@crystal beacon the banned L word is user has been banned

crystal beacon
#

@light glen and I have no doubts some devs/designers go directly there.

light glen
#

Will cash shop cosmetics be on par with raid gear?

steady ocean
#

@steady wharf I believe all the nodes are static and the same per server. However, player choice will be different across the servers

fair yew
#

all nodes will be the same layout on every server but it will depend on how people level them up that will change the economy

fleet rock
#

since races arn't getting race specfic city advantages and disadvantages, would that mean each level of a city is the same layout but different models?

oak depot
#

Can someone please tell me how many Skill Points we get by the time we hit max level cap of 50? Is it 50? Is it < 50? Is it more than 50?

ebon star
#

Unknown amount as of right now for skill points

grizzled latch
#

@light glen yes

steady ocean
#

@fleet rock A city's layout is determined by the mayor and the choices that mayor takes in regarding to which buildings they want

tulip hatch
#

@oak depot Only the developers can answer that one sorry friend c: save it for a livestream Q&A

oak depot
#

but I see one lurking around

fair yew
#

you get multiple skill points per level so far in testing but that could very well change

fleet rock
#

yeah but a plot of land is allocated to be whatever, it's not really like a layout

#

you don't choose where the building goes

fair yew
#

some buildings in villages and higher are chosen by the mayor

steady ocean
#

The mayor can choose which buildings are what @fleet rock

@fair yew I The nodes would be static, but i wasn’t sure if it be a different node per server.

that is where the tulnar come in mostly. they are a mixed race of different lesser races so you could make a gnomelike character or a troll like character

crystal beacon
#

@fair yew could I make a dark elf ?

#

I thought tulnars were always man-animal hybrids

fair yew
#

we don't really know how extensive the character creation for tulnar is going to be except it will be extensive

Is there a stamina system ala Skyrim ontop of "Mana"?

No @eternal palm

eternal palm

yey

crystal beacon
#

Yeah I spend about 3 hours a day on the wiki lol 🙂 thank you 🙂

fair yew
#

The tulnar don't have to be animal hybrids they are just the most prominently shown from my understanding

crystal beacon
#

This changes everything lol

#

Will tulnars all have the same base stats no matter what ?

fair yew
#

yes they don't have sub races

steady ocean
#

Base stats are determined by their race and not features, so I'd imagine yes

eternal palm
#

Will summoners just have 1 powerful summon? Or could you go for a swarm build

fair yew
#

but it may vary between archetype primaries i don't remember if that changed

crystal beacon
#

Would be crazy if the sliders actually changed the stats...

eternal palm
#

yea that would be, like if you are part werewolf you have more strenght/stamina but less int/wis type thing

onyx knoll
#

@eternal palm it'll depend on your 2nd archetype

fair yew
#

that would create the meta for everyone to be tulnar

eternal palm
#

well it would still be in line with other racial stats

#

ideally

onyx knoll
#

@eternal palm but i believe the max amount of summons is 3, so you wouldn't have like 50 swarming around

crystal beacon
#

Anyways, this is becoming a discussion 😛

full scroll
#

What would be a decent average in terms of players per node?

fair yew
#

your summons will likely vary based on the augments you pick for your skills

full scroll
#

In let's say, stage 3

onyx knoll
#

@full scroll a stage 3 will probably have around 60 citizens

1x 50 person apartment, 8x in-node houses, and freeholds

There's 2 on each major island, unless they mentioned adding another

yes in the tree

#

Cool

onyx knoll
oak depot
#

1 starting underrealm I believe

Yea there is 4 gateways and tulnar are able to select a gateway to start at but they also have a starting area without a gateway

so 5 starting areas not 5 gateways

Most of south America balk at the $15 month sub price

does anyone know if spells or moves with have animation cancelling?

arctic sky

No regional pricing

#

They have stated as being against animation cancelling on one of the stream

humble flare
#

@slender quarry no animation cancelling mechanics are planned

#

steven has talked about harmonizing sub price to match currencys but its not 100% set in stone i dont think

shell wing
#

@arctic sky I personally don't care about the price but a lot of people live in much poorer countries though , 15$ can be a lot for them.

steady ocean
#

@shell wing I'd recommend posting on the official forum and getting your friends to post in your thread (or find a thread that is already created) if you would like to see your language considered. The more interest the devs see the more likely it will happen https://forums.ashesofcreation.com/

@shell wing it's been stated that people VPN for cheaper sub cost can be an issue

shell wing
#

Yeah you are right about that

On the topic of the sea, are we going to see different types of ships? Like fishing, trading, war. Are there going to be any different sizes or styles of each of those? I think it would be cool to have ships of the same class, but different layouts on them, to give people some trade-offs on what one to run.

arctic sky
#

From what we know about ships they can be upgraded and modded

#

do we know exactly what the map will look like?

slate fox
#

I hope SA wont be on NA aervers they should be on EU

#

or their own

ruby swift
#

Actually this has changed as of the AMA. Price harmonization for certain economically depressed areas like SA will be considered. Those regions they decide to offer a discounted subscription on will be locked to play on servers in that region to stop customers from VPNing into that region to buy and then playing in their preferred region. As of right now they have not confirmed any region after launch, it is just a plan.

@arctic sky its already been stated that you pay for the server you connect to so you cant go to brazzilian server pay the cheapest price and expect to go to us server it wouldnt work if yor in brazil and you want to go on us server you pay the $15 flat out

arctic sky
#

So it's being considered now thanks

#

It is ok, I was saying the same thing as Aryielle up until last week. Information moves quick during active development.

undone snow
#

anyone know how much % of all systems Steven want in game is done? 20% world if i remember correctly, but how about all those amazing systems our God introduced to us?

tight path
#

that makes no sense, are they gonna open a server for every country they accept payment in?

steady ocean
#

@undone snow I'd imagine he would want all the systems in the game at launch

#

@tight path Regions, not countries

unreal zealot
#

it makes sense for poorer reigons to get harmonized pricing,

crystal beacon
#

hey guys! will eu get the same cosmetic packs as the us?

#

i really want that snail mount

steady ocean
#

@crystal beacon Yes, the next cosmetic pack is available on Aug 5th

tight path
#

so it will be more like south america rather than a brazil server then

crystal beacon
#

will we get it later

#

since the shop is frozen

#

apparently

light glen
#

Whats the deal with prealpha cosmetic sales?

steady ocean
unreal zealot
#

we hopfully will get info on that "soon"

ruby swift
#

Not every country, every region. For example, at this time South America is not a supported region. If they decide to offer Ashes for play on say an AWS server out of Bogata, people in that region would have access to a harmonized rate for SA. If they took that deal, they would be locked to playing on the server based out of Bogata. If they tried to play on NA West, their subscription would be invalid.

steady ocean
#

@light glen Can you rephrase your question? They are items included in the pre-order backer packs

errant chasm
#

@slate fox they said 0 region locking so alot of sa will be on na

light glen
#

@steady ocean i may be wrong but there is already cosmetic shop online for backers of course

lyric dust
#

How long will the Voyager pack be available? I want to purchase it, but need to wait a few weeks. I'm really wanting to get in on A2.

steady ocean
#

Those are the only available cosmetics currently @light glen

crystal flax
#

A2 isn't for a long time so you'll be fine @lyric dust

lyric dust
#

For sure, I figured. But wanted to double check! Thank you.

light glen
#

@crystal flax Alpha 1 this year, alpha 2 q3 perhabs if there arent any foundational issues

crystal beacon
#

do these mounts in the founders pack all have the same quality

ruby swift
#

@errant chasm No region locking only applies to those that pay the regular sub cost.

crystal beacon
#

i know they are skins

ruby swift
#

@crystal beacon Then what do you mean by quality. Graphically?

errant chasm
#

Oh didnt hear that part yet @ruby swift thanks

crystal beacon
#

like, will the snail be endgame mount

winter parrot
#

What are the limits for in-game Social Organizations such as a mages guild? One per character?

crystal beacon
#

or just mid level

onyx knoll
#

@crystal beacon Some can be applied to royal mounts, some can't. If it look like it can't fly then you wouldn't be able to use it on a flying/gliding mount 😛

#

@crystal beacon The skins will be able to be applied on any mount that matches their type

#

So you could use the snail skin on your 1st horse

crystal beacon
#

wait

#

what

onyx knoll
#

they're skins!

errant chasm
#

@crystal beacon they arent skins themselves u need a mount to apply the skin

onyx knoll
#

you apply them to a mount of your choice haha

crystal beacon
#

yeah but

#

dont they have to be snails

#

lol

onyx knoll
#

nope

somber basalt
#

@onyx knoll Are you sure about that? I thought you needed to have the same type

crystal beacon
#

so i can put it on a horse

onyx knoll
#

really?

crystal beacon
#

that is canon?

somber basalt
#

Let me check wiki

onyx knoll
#

Mhh, I might have misunderstood

ruby swift
#

@errant chasm Yes, if you are in SA and don't care about the money, you can pay a regular sub and play on whatever server you want, with the exception of EU, you would need to have an account with MY.Games for that.

Mounts come in tiers. A tier 1 mount skin cannot be applied to a tier 2 mount. A tier 2 skin cannot be applied to a tier 3 mount (royal mount) etc. It is based on the tier that the mount & skin is in
