I don't know either, sorry. That kind of thing is typically kept underwraps to prevent people from gaming the system. @real sleet
real sleet
Understandably so. This ominous 'world manager' is such a huge trump card for basically every problem there is, IF it is going to work as intended.

What is the char length for guilds?
onyx knoll
@crystal beacon Do you mean how long can your guild name be, or what is the max amount of players you can have in your guild?
crystal beacon
max length of guild name 🙂
full badger
I don't believe we've been told
abstract mountain
Just curious what name are you thinking about? @crystal beacon
ruby swift
So far we have no guild naming conventions as others have pointed out. For character names we have a minimum 3
crystal beacon
sorry its 18 characters long not including spaces
green rose
Actually, much more than 18.
crystal beacon
I need at least 21 characters ._. for a guild name I'm thinking of, including spaces.
ruby swift
All depends on what Intrepid ends up with. Sometimes companies limit it due to reporting functions and database management. Sure to be guidelines closer to actual guild name reservation.

When you die there is a timer during which people can rez you, if no one does by the time the timer ends then you'll be forced to go to one of the spawn points. I'm not sure if everyone can rez, I think it might only be Clerics 🤔
abstract mountain
It is a cleric skill for sure but no idea if its exclusive

just heard about this game, just a tad confused if it playable now or not?
real magnet
Thank you!

Np @real magnet
brittle ferry
My bad
real magnet
all g lol
brittle ferry
Short answer is not playable, with package purchase I think you can still get into Alpha 2, definitely make an account if you haven't yet as they come with benefits later like free cosmetics and such.
real magnet
dam, really looking for a game to start. made the account any clue when alpha 2 would be coming out?
safe mural
Hey all, i was wondering, when can i make a account and collect a key or something?
i never received a email after it was funded succefully
real magnet
i see
brittle ferry
You were a Kickstarter @safe mural ?
safe mural
yes sir
near horizon
do we already have a date for a1?
real magnet
but if i were to buy the wayfare pack when ever the alpha 2 drops i would be able to play correct
brittle ferry
onyx knoll
@near horizon Only a vague "late fall"
brittle ferry
Try that, if you had an old account you'll need to migrate, if you have issues migrating you'll need to submit a ticket via support
brittle ferry
Register and see where that takes you @safe mural
real magnet
Dam the $250 usd to much for me just gonna have to wait, Thank you Talents
red wedge
A question,is there something like a WoW token in the game too?not for selling it for gold but for using it to add subscription time rather than paying
desert ivy
No
onyx knoll
@red wedge Currently no
red wedge
Will it be a thing tho?
brittle ferry
If you have issues with getting things to populate on your account then you'll have to submit a support ticket, which takes like 3 to 5 business days @safe mural
desert ivy
I doubt it will be a thing tbh.
@safe mural Make an account on Intrepids website. There's then the "Redeem a Key" button that allows you to enter your kickstarter code
red wedge
Thats unfortunate ,thanks anyway
brittle ferry
Their only funding is subscription based model, so
desert ivy
Got 2 years to start saving.
brittle ferry
After release, of course
brittle ferry
Log into your Kickstarter
desert ivy
If it's not on your kickstarter, nor your email, your only hope is customer support
crystal flax
You should've been emailed one back when it finished
brittle ferry
I can't remember how I got mine, honestly it's been so long.
crystal flax
Like Zenmara said if you have issues, as long as you have your KS info you can submit a ticket for help
onyx knoll
@safe mural Hey there! I recommend you do as Talents said, make an Intrepid account, then contact support. Our Customer support folks will be happy to help you and link your kickstarter account with your Intrepid account so that you can redeem all your rewards ^^
onyx knoll
Just a fair warning, the current response time can be a bit slow since they've been getting a lot of requests in the last few weeks, so don't worry if you don't have an answer right away ^^
reef narwhal
I want to start this off by saying I'm very excited for this game . However I have a question that could be a deal breaker for me and my guild . How many currencies are you expecting in the game ? I hate it when games hide items behind multiple currencies to promote repeated play of that content. A perfect example of a game that I would've loved but ruined itself by doing this is blade and soul. There's a reason games have a main currency such as gold however games today have lost touch of that and have like 50+ currencies in them . I think a few is perfectly okay .
ruby swift
Good news then, because gold is the main currency. There will be however limited other currencies for special events.

@reef narwhal https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Currency hope the wiki page helps ❤️

alpine zodiac
Do we know how does the exp contribution to the nodes work in situation when you are in 2 nodes' ZOIs at the same time?
chilly hedge
That's not true, when a node grows and swallows up another node nearby you're clearly in two zones at once
Yea, I guess it'll all depend on how the vassal system works out
alpine zodiac
Oh okay, thought that's how it works
The higher lvl nodes ZOI "swallows" the lower lvl ones
chilly hedge
It does create vassal nodes, we just don't know yet how working in the vassal node influences the main node
alpine zodiac
SO the higher lvl nodes ZOI would kinda have a hole in it where the lower lvl node is?
OKay, so we'll have to wait for more details on ZOIs
Thanks anyways ^^
ruby swift
The statement that as a vassal node caps its exp that it feeds exp to the parent node would be indicative that it retains its own zoi.
alpine zodiac
Yeah that makes a lot of sense, thanks once again

Will in game advertising chats allow all languages or English only?

likely there will be language based servers as well hopefully like wow, eu servers are going to be a cluster of multiple languages otherwise if they are all just tagged as "EU"
i know im just guessing its a likely thing for a mmo company to do

I heard in one of the AMA's that there's going to be a family system where we can summon or teleport to someone in our family and that is one of the limited fast travel options. Does marriage in the game have anything to do with this system?

I cant recall what crafting tree are Caravan parts in?
slow meadow
will likely be multiple. carpentry, and blacksmithing seem like obvious areas for caravan components, but we wont know for sure until we know what all components can be used.
ashen sentinel
Ya thats understandable but i was thinking that it was mentioned on one of the recent streams and had a specific skill tree mentioned as well. Thank you
slow meadow
I should have also mentioned animal husbandry since that was mentioned somewhat recently. So you can have mounts bred through animal husbandry applied as certificates towards the construction of caravans.
royal surge
When people refer to "certificates" in the context of crafting things in this game, what does that mean exactly?
onyx knoll
Mh, I'm not sure, certificates aren't really related to crafting. They're what you get from monster kills. So for example, say you kill a wolf, then you get a "wolf pelt certificate" that notes where you got it from. It's value will change depending on where you go to sell it. If you sell that certificate to an NPC in the same node then where you killed it, then it won't sell for much, but if you take the time to travel a fair bit away then it will sell for more.
The only other instance I can think of would be related to caravans. You can make your own caravans and they'll start off as "scrolls/schematics" not quite certificates but I could see some referring to them as such.
Feel free to add to this Jahlon, if I missed anything
Right, good point
proven root
Maybe he was referring to Pharazon's last message, just slightly above
onyx knoll
🤣 when you say it like that it sounds so cruel!
royal surge
Okay, that's where my confusion is. "Certificate" is just a catch-all term then, correct?
pure vigil
Hey all, I'm just wondering if there will be a preview option for cosmetics? For example, in Path of Exile you can't preview what the cosmetics will look like on your character before you purchase it. Is this a feature that's currently being worked on or possible in the future? Thanks. 🙂
onyx knoll
@pure vigil We haven't had any sort of specific mentions of a feature like that, in either a yes or no, so I can't answer (for the launched final version of the game I mean), so it would be a good question to ask in the Q&A thread! https://discordapp.com/channels/256164085366915072/270797463907074048/746429284939333782

storm quarry
Holy smokes am I excited for this project! Totally spendt the last 3 days drooling over everything I can find, and as such I have a few questions:
1: With there being such a vast amount of cool and new classes, will there be any way to switch classes partway, or try out different classes?
I feel like I might start the game with a very specific RP in mind, but later on wish to branch out to something else.
2: When it comes to crafting, there is obviously the limitation on mastery to combat omnimastery of crafting disciplines. The question from question 1 persists, will there be a way to swap around your high profession skill if you find that you change your mind about your crafting main?
I've been a bit scared about how finite and unchangable some aspects in this ever-changing world seem, and am a bit scared that I'll lock myself into something, grow tired of it and as such burn out from the game permanently.
remote osprey
@storm quarry you will be able to change your secondary archetype, but it will take some effort
onyx knoll
@storm quarry Welcome! Happy to have you 😄 Let me go through those one at a time :P
-
You won't be able to change your starting archetype. At character creation you make one of the 8 primary archerypes, then at lvl 25 you will be able to pick a secondary to form your final class. That secondary can be switched through a quest, so you can't change on the fly mid-dungeon, but you'll have access to 8 classes on 1 character basically.
-
We don't know yet if you will be able to change your profession mastery, currently you can only become a master in 1 of the 3 branches of artisanship (gathering, processing OR crafting), and then within that branch you can master multiple paths (tho not all).
You'll be able to make alts tho if it turns out a specific archetype or profession ends up not being what you hoped 🙂
storm quarry
Ah okay, that's very good to hear, thank you! 😃
I was also just wondering another small thing;
What will be the first publicly avaliable non-NDA play testing for content creators to partake in?
A.K.A. when will streamers and such be able to show off the game from a new player's perspective?
onyx knoll
The NDA will be lifted when alpha 1 starts later this fall ^^
storm quarry
Oh, that's really soon! 😮 Nice!
Thank you so much for the replies Xen 💕

There's a literal profession solely for building ships. Steven loves naval stuff so there will be a lot of good naval stuff

Best part of Archeage, but really wanted another game than it, too pay2win
Ohh thank god
It's not gonna be like the one in BDO?
That naval sucked, hahah

Didn't dabble in BDO too much so not sure what that was like

Does anyone know which artisan branch animal husbandry will be under? Also, is animal taming a separate branch or part of the animal husbandry branch?
Thanks, last question. Does anyone know how many alts we will be able to have on one account?

Animal husbandry is in processing
Taming is part of the gathering branch, so separate

Oh snap! Thank you.

They haven't said the exact amount of alts, just that we'll be able to have " a comfortable amount"

woven moon
Right, but what's the Crafter end item.
crystal flax
Mounts or battle pets most likely

Like Armor smithing. Gatherers get the ore. Processors create the ingots. Armor smiths make the armor
@crystal flax That'd be dope
Making mount armor
woven vale
laughs in Bethesda mount armor dlc
woven moon
Sorry I don't speak failure
crystal flax
Oh, I think I misunderstood what you meant actually
You "process" and get the animals, there doesn't necessarily have to be a crafter component to it
woven moon
I feel that disrupts the supply chain element
royal surge
Can anyone recommend a good youtube explanation of the lore?
silk tapir
And you might need items from crafters to finish the mount/combat pet. Like armor, food, saddle
So it’s crafter>crafter and sometimes it’s even crafter>gatherer
Same with alchemy gather plants > process to potions. There is no 3rd step
honest solstice
@misty hemlock Earlier u mentioned boosters like in archeage i dont know anything about arch but its been stated that they wont have any pay to convience items or any pay to win items
misty hemlock
Ahh, I meant on the ships
Like nitro in need for speed, makes you go superfast in a burst, was on every small boat
@honest solstice, like the ones in this vid https://youtu.be/DkSR6dsgT5I
honest solstice
oh dur i thought u ment like xp booster lmao
misty hemlock
Hahaha, I understand that it can easily be misinterpreted
But I looooved the way that the ocean was such a huge part of Archeage, and I would absolutely love for it to be like that
It was such a good game, but it was very pay to win, so it became boring for those who didn't have the money
honest solstice
never played that but i did play alot of bdo so i understand pay to win
misty hemlock
For example, you couldn't own land without buying this "patron"-status, and neither could you do tasks such as crafting or collecting without labor-points, which basically didn't generate unless you had patron there too

Is A1 supposed to be tested by kickstart backers? Or is it just tested by the dev team? And then A2 will be when we get to have a go at it?
Obv if we have one of the packages
desert ivy
A1 is for whoever bought a pack with A1 access
There was also an A1 pack on the Intrepid store until like a August 2018
gaunt pecan
Ahhh!! Okay
desert ivy
There is around 10k A1 testers atm
sand dust
A2 will have far more content, you won’t be missing out on much if you don’t see A1 so don’t worry.
gaunt pecan
Sounds great i was just a bit confused since the packages gave a2 and b1 and b2 testing keys but none gave a1
But i see it was a limited time thing with previous packages, thats cool
misty hemlock
If I buy the current package, do I then get access to a2 testing forever? And then play when it's finished for 4 months, or do I have to keep paying to stay in Alpha?
stable plover
@misty hemlock A2 access is permanent once it starts until A2 ends, The sub time that comes with the packs doesn't start counting until the game goes live (The A2 servers eventually become the PTR)
hybrid hamlet
How are quests going to work in this game? Are they going to be procedurally generated? Go here to kill X and collect Y?
I don’t see any other way to do this with 103 different nodes...
fair yew
Some will be quests given in towns from npcs some in taverns or towns from players and some will be generated in the wild as you are running around
wraith idol
Correct
stable plover
@hybrid hamlet For more info see https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Quests - The quests are in general hand crafted, but triggered by various conditions (some quests are just available), A main storyline quest might see you going to an ancient tower that exists regardless of what the surrounding nodes are doing, and a particular NPC for a quest might move to say the most developed node surrounding an area. Some quests like "Steal a book from the scholars academy in the opposing node" might have a procedural element of say the book spawns in the same spot in the racial architectural building for the scholars academy no matter which node it's in.
wraith idol
Also certain quest will be exclusive to which node and the level of the node

@frosty kelp no, 300 is the max with the upgrades

^ u start off at 50 and can use ur guild upgrades to either get new buffs or increase guild cap.

How do you know that we start at 50? @digital yacht
I can't find it anywhere that it says that
The maximum size for a guild that chooses all available skill options will be between 30 and 50. Nevermind found it

@cyan compass @digital yacht We haven't had any information on that with regards to perks for the guilds. All we know is that the minimum number of players you need to form a guild is 5

steady fiber
hello I have a question. Is it possible for one node to dominate the whole land of Vera? like conquering all nodes in the world?
random trench
No, world is too big.
cyan compass
@steady fiber One node can only control 1/5 of the world
full badger
@steady fiber The zone of influence of a max level node only covers 1/5th of the world, so no, a single node cannot dominate the whole world
steady fiber
Oh... does that mean you can only declare war on cities inside your zone of influence?
cyan compass
No, vassals cannot declare war on their parent node, and same goes for the parent towards their vassals
half apex
Even if it's possible, you need more then half of the whole server population and years. Also becomes boring as there are no enemy at some point @steady fiber
cyan compass
You can only attack those outside of your zone of influence
steady fiber
oh okok I see... thanks for the info... that's kinda exciting to see
steady fiber
but what happens when you win a war? Does the city just disappear an crumble waiting for another people to grow it? or does the victor have the decision of annexing it?
cyan compass
If you attack a node, and the node defenders loses, the node that got attacked will reset to level 0
steady fiber
oh I see... but what's the purpose of declaring war?
half apex
Loot
cyan compass
Right now, probably gonna be related to guilds vs guilds attacking each others nodes
But we don't know enough to say
half apex
After war declar the node storages are locked. And the winner take loot from it
sly monolith
each node is limited to progressing to connected nodes.. so if a node cant progress.. winning a node will fix this in order to progress the node
steady fiber
oh ok ok.. though I thought we would see something like annexing countries lmao or world domination... I realized it's not cool cuz the game won't be fun anymore
half apex
Also if you and the other node are both t2 lets say. To prevent him to make you a vassal you destroy it
half apex
Because after t3 (i think) you cap the progress of neighboor nodes
proper crown
Hey everyone, will housing see pets/mounts as furniture for housing? (think ESO)
half apex
So basically they can only lvl up if you also lvl up, or they destroy your node .

Will AOCs dungeons and raids be tactical like in wow, or other MMORPGs, like the need to use crowd control for example?
Is mana management a thing ?

limber tendon
How do healers get XP tags on mobs if a certain amount of damage is required to achieve that?
reef osprey
@limber tendon mob exp is shared equally among a group
limber tendon
Ok ty 👍 so no need to damage the mob
reef osprey
@lethal juniper that's very hard to evaluate by now, as we haven't seen it in the game
can only judge that when we see that ingame imo.
Mana Management is certainly a thing though
@limber tendon if you are in a group with the person killing it: no
proper crown
Didn't Steven say in an AMA that exp share would be proportional to damage? (could be this is just outside groups, anyone know the answer for sure)
ruby swift
Didn't Steven say in an AMA that exp share would be proportional to damage? (could be this is just outside groups, anyone know the answer for sure)
@proper crown That is when two groups are competing for same mob.
Group one does 60% damage. They get 60% of the exp shared among their group. Whoever "tags" first has a modifier.
cyan compass
@ruby swift That's for loot
cyan compass
Experience gained from killing mobs and bosses when in a group is divided by the number of party members based on damage done.[11] A multiplier is then applied that increases with the number of party members. The multiplier is between 1.3 and 1.4 (approximately).[12] Experience gained is not affected by looting rights
ruby swift
This is talking about when two groups compete for the same mob. Not the modifier for grouping.
cyan compass
What you were referring to is loot, not exp
reef osprey
nah, Unknown is right
cyan compass
The first to obtain a tag (on a mob or boss) will require approximately 40% or more of the total DPS to be granted looting rights. Parties who do not have the first tag will be required to do more than approximately 60% of the total DPS to quality for looting rights.
cyan compass
Where did you see that info then?
reef osprey
How much exp your group gets is defined by the % of DMG you deal.
The split within the group is even.
Lotting rights are determined by dps and will fully go to the group dealing the most Damage (considering tagging rights)
ruby swift
About the exp percentages? Would have to dig for the exact quote. Think it was AMA or post that.
toxic swan
Is there a way to see if I used a referral code when I signed up, or for someone to check their own referral code for a specific username?
cyan compass
Yeah the exp percentages, and rip, well since the both of you are saying that, I'll believe you
toxic swan
@ruby swift Thanks for quick response.
reef osprey
@toxic swan they can only see the amount of referrals currently
so if his went +1, then it worked

fickle abyss
That's what I saidlll
proper crown
Will we have "special" rewards such as furniture/titles/cosmetics for being alpha/beta testers? Aside from gaining access to the shop or the covid statue?
abstract mountain
Kickstarter packs came with titles for sure, and to play beta and alpha you need to purchase the packs which come with cosmetics, so...
ruby swift
Possibly but not guaranteed. If those are awarded they are at the sole discretion of Steven, and would be cosmetic only in nature to stop the screams of "If I paid to test, I gained advantage!"
reef osprey
what advantage did they get?
ruby swift
None, that is the point.
proper crown
@abstract mountain yes but I'm looking for exclusivity, if every month gets new cosmetics these shop items might be rare, but they won't show "damn he was here from day 1" (or just from the beginning)
abstract mountain
Thats what kickstarter was for
reef osprey
@proper crown were you here from day one?
then you have the kickstarter cosmetics
there you have your exclusivity
solid jay
hello, got a question... i got a corsair MMO mouse, i use a macro for my hot bar (12 laterlal buttons connected to 1 to = )that presses continuously (a single button) when i hold the button pressed, will that be allowed?
it's to not get a strain injury, i can't injure my hand because of a job i do
abstract mountain
Wow.. ive heard of that in other games, really dont know if theres any info about that
reef osprey
@solid jay can't answer your question
but may i ask which games requires you to spam one button like a madman? Seems like poor game design
except when its an ARPG of course, that's like the whole basis of gameplay for them
ruby swift
Many of the developers use macro mouses. Steven is more old school. What is exactly allowed will be spelled out in the TOS. <speculation> if they are advanced macros that give advantage, probably going to be a no.
solid jay
@solid jay can't answer your question
but may i ask which games requires you to spam one button like a madman? Seems like poor game design
@reef osprey FFXIV xD
reef osprey
so poor game design indeed
abstract mountain
Maybe a mod will be able to answer that, you could post that question for the Q&A and hope it gets answered 😊
solid jay
so poor game design indeed
@reef osprey not really, the game has a queue thing and i use the macro to time it correctly
reef osprey
that seems like a direct advantage gained through the use of macros over someone who doesn't use them.
I don't think that will be allowed, but we don't know yet
solid jay
i played the game without it just fine but i found myself spamming a button during the global cd
that seems like a direct advantage gained through the use of macros over someone who doesn't use them.
@reef osprey how so... i would spam the button anyways, instead of me it's a program doing it
reef osprey
Because at this point, whats the difference between that and macro that literally does 4 parts of your rotation with the optimal time inbetween it
press 1 -> wait exactly 2.01 seconds -> press 2 -> wait exactly 2.01 seconds -> press 3 -> wait exactly 1.51 seconds -> press 4
Yours does nothing else, just with a more boring rotation
@solid jay nah, yours does the move exactly when it comes back up
manually you can't achieve that
solid jay
only 1 button... no rotations
reef osprey
just because its a boring 1 button rotation doesn't mean its not a rotation
solid jay
when i press down it does the pressing, when i release it stops
reef osprey
yeah, so you can use the ability right when its back up
at the optimal timing
that's exactly the thing Intrepid doesn't want in the game
gameplay supporting macros
this devolves into a discussion though, feel free to join me in #aoc-discussion with your next message

if they have a queue mechanic i don't see the problem... gotta see how it will be, i will have to skip this game if i will have to spam a button...
reef osprey
nobody forces you to spam, you just have to press it once
spamming it is what you yourself want to do
solid jay
i don't have to but i do... as many people do
spam the button moments before it comes up
i don't know yet how the combat and cd will work, so we will see
reef osprey
that seems to be a valid idea.
Alpha combat might still be bare-bones, but it should give us a general idea what it will look like
solid jay
i don't want macros that gives advantages, but there is another face to the coin... many people with physical issues use them, it's not a easy thing to police, just like multiboxing... some people live toghrther and use the same ip
proper crown
@proper crown were you here from day one?
then you have the kickstarter cosmetics
@reef osprey thats why I asked if there is/will be something similar for Alpha/beta testing
reef osprey
oh my bad, not sure about that.
We only know of the exclusive cosmetics. They might award an Alpha/Beta Tester Title or something similar.
We don't know anything about that though. Maybe go to the forums and add this to question list for the QnA
random trench
Is there an in-combat mechanic (like in WoW) in this game?
ruby swift
Since you cannot swap out gear while in combat, I am going to go with yes.
forest pike
Will cosmetics be limited time offers even after launch?
jagged rapids
I'm a bit confused with two things: chat and taverns
-
can everyone own a tavern or do you need a special profession for that?
-
in the wiki it says taverns offer private chat... does that mean you usually aren't able to use private chat outside of taverns?
vapid veldt
Is the combat going to have Global CD or is the global CD replaced by something like GW2 where animations were the GCD?
full badger
@vapid veldt From what we've seen so far in testing there is a global cooldown on abilities, but that may change later on down the line
@jagged rapids As long as you get a freehold plot you can get a tavern on that freehold
dusky zodiac
@forest pike depends what ones you are talking about. the cosmetics that are currently put in sale at the shop are available by a month by month bases.
oh after lauch
vapid veldt
Follow up question then: is it like WoW GCD (1sec or less) or is it like FFXIV GCD (2.5 cd)?
forest pike
@dusky zodiac I'm talking new cosmetics that will come after launch, will they keep being monthly based?
full badger
@jagged rapids Also, private messages are available outside of taverns too
dusky zodiac
@forest pike I like to say no but I actually have no clue.
full badger
Follow up question then: is it like WoW GCD (1sec or less) or is it like FFXIV GCD (2.5 cd)?
@vapid veldt From what I saw it seemed more in line with WoW, but again this could change
vapid veldt
That's amazing. FFXIV gcd was one of the things I really didnt like about the game xD
full badger
@forest pike Another tough question, I'm trying to find a solid answer for you
dusky zodiac
@forest pike I did looking at the wiki page and found this quote.
Cash shop cosmetics will be limited in quantity, limited in time for purchase. They will be unique, but you will also have extremely difficult to gain cosmetics in game as well as unique cosmetics that look great and better... There will be a lot of cosmetics that are achievable in the game because that is a very fun aspect of MMO play.[13] – Steven Sharif
https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Cosmetic_store
I don't know if it's 100% means that the stuff will always be timed limited and only last from month to month
full badger
@forest pike It turns out the answer to both your questions is, we haven't been told yet. Feel free to add it to the questions for the dev livestream though, as I'm sure lots of people would want to know the answer 🙂
forest pike
@full badger good idea, will do
Thanks :)

Random question; is there currently an in-game rolling system, a /roll-type chat command? Or plans for such?

I dont think arrows will be needed to buy/craft since its an unfair mechanic compared to other classes.

Citizenship and freeeholds are single use per account.
But I would like to know if alts have right of usage in the freehold of your own main character...?

citizenships more specifically are account/server bound since you cant really be the same citizen of a node on a different server if it doesn't even exist

@simple ether Scenario:
You pull a caravan full of resources halfway across the continent to a node where they are very rare and sell for a better price.
- How do you unload the caravan? Does it move directly into the local warehouse or do you have to drive up to the local warehouse to unload it?
- How would you go about selling those Resources? You can't rent a stall if you aren't a node citizen, is your only choice to Shout in trade chat for it?
assuming its not economic node
and player shops aren't accessible
- interesting ty
- auction house makes sense.
Just saying, that the incentive to move these good across the world is kinda diminished if you don't have an effective way of selling your goods.
Specific buyers would probably lowball you knowing that you don't have a good way of selling them.
Would be a cool thing, if there was a moving trade feature, that allows players to sell stuff out of their caravan in a stall-like fashion. (only materials and goods they have shipped with that exact caravan of course)
like a moving trader would.
fleet oracle
apoc will be open again?
reef osprey
@fleet oracle Apoc is said to come back sometime during Alpha 1 with Castle Sieges (and monster coin events?) to test those systems.
Might take a while till that actually happens though

The latest news we have on APOC can be found here https://ashesofcreation.com/news/2020-03-06-early-access-for-ashes-of-creation-apocalypse-battle-royale-testing-ends
In the FAQ at the bottom, they say the following:
Q: What does this mean for Battle Royale moving forward?
A: Once the modes have undergone individual testing over the course of our MMORPG’s development, Apocalypse will be made available again with all modes for players to enjoy. You can expect these testing phases to pick up again after our Alpha One for the MMORPG has been released.
Hope this answers your question 🙂
patent flint
why would i use a caravan? more space for resources?
onyx knoll
@patent flint Yes, the caravans can carry 100 times what you player can
patent flint
oh
reef osprey
@patent flint
Caravans carry like a 100+ times your inventory weight
patent flint
but it will be slower and players can steal the itens, right?
reef osprey
@onyx knoll was 100x exactly confirmed or a ballpark number?
They said you could adjust the properties of your caravan, so there might be storage space through Crafted Caravan items, no?
@patent flint correct
onyx knoll
I think the 100x was confirmed, we just don't know what the base weight will be. Let me double check
patent flint
very risky, thanks guys
onyx knoll
reef osprey
roughly
unreal zealot
alot of things in aoc will be risk vs reward in terms of pvp at least
reef osprey
@patent flint risk vs reward.
You could run 100x times for 15 min roundway
or run once for 30min under the risk of getting robbed
unreal zealot
im pretty sure your builds for caravans can probably increase carrying ammount for trade off of speed or armour
reef osprey
thats the examples they brought, yes
desert ivy
Basically mules are 100 times more than you, caravans are 1000x morew

APOC (Apocalypse) is a special mode that was created to test the combat and the backend they planned to use for the MMO. It's like a separate smaller game

polar nymph
OK because my.games says it is, but I couldn't figure out how to get there through the new page. Thanks for the clarification and extra date info 🙂
tulip hamlet
To piggyback from my earlier questions - Do we know/have a comparison of heights between the races based on current assets and art?
onyx knoll
Dwarves and Humans are currently the only races that we've seen in game, and I don't think we have concept that compares the height between all the races. You can see the difference between human and dwarf in most of the dev footage as Toast plays a dwarf in them
tulip hamlet
Gotcha. Thank you!
unreal zealot
i think the races have a minimum height and a maximum height that you can set probably with a slider of some kind by looking at some concept art as they are different heights
this is the renkai concept art but it could all change as we haven't really seen much from other races anyway
whole dawn
Will we be able to name mounts/pets/carriage pullers (my minds pulling a blank)?
unreal zealot
@whole dawn
whole dawn
what about caravan pullers
polar nymph
They need to stick to the NDA but there is a new youtube video commenting on the various options that are available in the character creator as of now and it does say that there is a slider with limitations. Now how valid this information is I cannot say.
tulip hamlet
Just to clarify in full, will there be anything similar to Guild Wars 2's wardrobe system, where an item's appearance will be unlocked and can be applied to future items?
unreal zealot
doesn't say so probably not but looking at alpha gameplay showed off from steven atm im guessing maybe if you dont use a skin for a caravan and use a default one it will use what ver mount skin your using currently
brittle shale
I'm reading a conversation on reddit, and a guy is claiming that each ability will have 2 togglable versions. One action based, and one tab target. It would be the same ability but you get to choose how to aim it.
The guy keeps linking quote from Steven, but seems to be heavily misinterpretting what they mean.
Can someone weigh in on this?
unreal zealot
its a pretty old thing mentioned in a podcast in 2018 so we dont know if its changed or not
desert ivy
No, each ability is either tab or action.
It's not "you can make each ability either action or tab", it's "each ability is either action or tab"
unreal zealot
i mean it say on wiki there is a toggle for it so it confuses things if its wrong and outdated maybe we can ask @idle siren to confirm?
valid sluice
Hi guys, a quick question which I can't seem to find the answer to (apologies if I've missed it). I live in the UK and am interested in pre-ordering to be part of the alpha two test phases. I read that the Intrepid store at the moment includes additional tax and will just be for the US servers? Where should I pre-order or am I best to wait?
desert ivy
@valid sluice Intrepid store is for everyone
tropic sandal
I'm that guy who posted that comment
desert ivy
People in EU have to pay additional tax though, eventually there will be a store without the tax when they get everything set up in EU correctly, but we don't know when that'll be
tropic sandal
I've watched tons of livestreams and interviews with steven and read the wikis and this is the conclusion I've found
I've also been very careful to state all my opinions are based on the information we have
I'm referring to @brittle shale btw
valid sluice
People in EU have to pay additional tax though, eventually there will be a store without the tax when they get everything set up in EU correctly, but we don't know when that'll be

out in the open world are there areas of the open world that have multi pvp availability or 1v1 pvp restrictions

@tropic sandal you need to click into the wiki and click the little 4 to view the actual video source
You can hear Steven's actual words explaining it
And hes talking about multiple abilities
tropic sandal
I've watched it many times
Oh, do you think my argument is that you can use the same fireball spell as tab or action? I've been saying you choose beforehand which one it uses
brittle shale
Ok. Then at which part does he say you can swap an ability from tab to action? Or that you get to choose optionally for a specific ability?
unreal zealot
best to take this to #aoc-discussion guys as its clogging up question channel
reef osprey
abilties are predefined action or tab
augments might change it though
tropic sandal
@brittle shale at 1:09:50 he begins describing the specific example using a power shot ability that is either chosen to be a tab target or an action-based ability

@tulip hamlet as far as im aware i havnt seen or heard much of a wardrobe system best to ask in the next q&a next month
tulip hamlet
Alas. I missed the deadline for that Ack.
desert ivy
What do you mean by a wardrobe system? There's going to be a separate bag and stuff for costumes so it won't take up inventory space if that's what you mean
unreal zealot
@desert ivy imagine it like the wow transmog system where al lthe appearance's are stored for you to choose from
tulip hamlet
Ooo! That is useful info, for sure. Mainly, given the description of how many slots and customization pieces there already are, I was wondering if those could be reskinned/transmogrified to go for a certain aesthetic.
desert ivy
Store costume cosmetics are all or nothing. You can't take pieces of each costume and apply them individually, you either have the whole costume or nothing.
Transmogs on the other hand you can pick and choose individually

Question: Tying into the lore and combat mechanics, are the players skills primarily fueled by magic, by natural prowess (strength, speed, practice), or by some other force? Would the different classes/archetype approach those skills differently with the lore and mechanics?
Expounding/Example/Explanation: In pen and paper games, most of the martial classes (fighter, rogue) don't utilize magic but claim physical prowess or ages of practice allow them to do what they do and to do it well. In Guild Wars 2, the martial classes were all imbued with magic and, even though their resource was named differently (stamina, endurance, etc.), the flavor text, animations, and lore behind most of the actions/skills suggested that magic was in everything and that there were no real non-magic types involved. In some games, there is a bit more of a breakdown where standard maneuvers (shield bash, knockdown) are purely non-magical and other, more complex ones utilize magic to bolster the abilities of the character.
woven vale
No.
stable plover
@young elk Probably depends on what you'd consider a 'complete' change - like it could probably change a healing skill to a dps one, it's less likely to change a movement skill into an incombat rez
@young elk Augments can change damage types, animations/FX, and some mechanics (like switching between a short stun and long slow)

At what stage will the type of Note be decided?
desert ivy
Node types are pre-determined. You will find out what type the node is at Stage 1
weak lynx
Ahh, is it random or planned well? Will we be surrounded my all types if standing in-between 3-4 nodes
desert ivy
Nodes are the same types across all servers
real sleet
@weak lynx unclear, but the A1 and A2 will help develop a distribution that will be workable.
I hope we will see more eco nodes than divine for example. So you probably will not have an even number of every node type.
lusty verge
have any big cooldowns been introduced yet?
chilly hedge
I believe at some point the number "102 nodes" was floating around. I can't find any confirmation, but if that's true, there are for sure more of some types of nodes, since 102 is not divisible by 4.
Cooldowns of what kind? There are plenty of long cooldowns in the game.

Like combat cooldowns

like 2 or 3 minutes

Apparently there will be a tax. Damn

@tidal stone im pretty sure its more of a node specific auction house but they can link in some way o nthe economic i think if its two metro's that are economic they link
but if you buy fro mthe other node you have to travel to it to pick the items up
ashen sentinel
Yes, Taxes will be set by the leaders of the Nodes and such.
tidal stone
I hope it's generally pretty low
onyx knoll
RMT will be closely watched, so probably fairly quickly. I wouldn't recommend it.
unreal zealot
@young elk is it really necessary to ask that kind of question?
tidal stone
Most games I've played have at least a 10% player to player trade tax which really cuts down on merching profit
Lmao ur gonna be ip banned before the game even comes out
But at least the tax is for the node I guess? I really enjoy merching so taxes kinda bum me out but hey
unreal zealot
taxes are a "necessary" evil to make sure the gold in the world is removed so inflation isnt excessive unless that ah tax goes into node coffers for defense and building i gues that would be cool. i know normal tax of nodes does
tidal stone
Yeah I understand but if I'm making a 13% profit average on trades and 10% goes to taxes it feels bad
It's a theoretical number
unreal harbor
do we have the numbers though? at least something in proximity. I wanna know if it is worth it trading
reef osprey
we don't wait 1+ years and come back when we are mid alpha 2

Does active PvP give XP to a node?
ruby swift
The node tracks many things, they have not given us a list of all things that give it. I can say in the tests that I participated in I saw no exp gain from pvp kills. Others may have a different experience. I wasn't really looking for that.
slow meadow
Node advancement happens through citizen and non-citizen activity. The examples given so far have been questing, gathering and raiding. The assumption was that anything that granted XP would contribute but that hasn't been confirmed afaik. There was a very old interview that seemed to indicate that you would gain XP from PvP but as Unknown said the early testing hasn't shown that so that may not be the case.
TLDR: We don't have confirmation one way or the other
primal bolt
Is there an intrepid studios business email any where?

do we have confirmation that PvP will grant XP?

Just to clarify: are all individuals on all servers automatically "pvp-tagged"?

How do you know what type of node a node will be?
onyx knoll
The nodes are predetermined, you won't know initially what type they are until they increase to at least rank1, at which point the NPCs that spawn there will be an indication. For example, a religious node might have a lot of cleric npcs

do we know if they plan to swap the nodes around for launch from what they will be in beta or are they going to let guilds and friends plan their specific nodes?
@unreal zealot i dont think alpha and beta maps will be actual game maps, so that kinda answers the question. I coudl be wrong.
ruby swift
They are keeping that info close. Could be what is seen in the testing is changed, could be the same. The world map used in later testing will be the world map, but they could choose to change node type locations at their whim. They have a plan, they just are not telling us yet or ever.

Hi lads, I've heard extra cosmetics can be purchased once we have already bought a pack. A few questions:
- Is this a currently active feature?
- Is a certain ''pack'' level required to have access to purchasing more extra cosmetics?
- Which cosmetics would be available? Past, future only skins or all included?
THANK YOU to anyone who knows.
ruby swift
- Testing of cosmetics and their application will take place during testing.
ancient pivot
Not my question
ruby swift
ancient pivot
Please read my question properly
unreal zealot
what do you mean by active feature?
ancient pivot
available as of right now
ruby swift
- future skins. Past skins once removed from store are no longer available except in very specific instances that require a customer service ticket and matching criteria.
ancient pivot
or is it a projected feature
unreal zealot
well no they cant be avaliable right now because the game isnt out
ancient pivot
- future skins. Past skins once removed from store are no longer available except in very specific instances that require a customer service ticket and matching criteria.
@ruby swift thank you
unreal zealot
and everything they show is concept art so you buy on faith you will like it
slow meadow
@ancient pivot 1. yes you can buy new monthly cosmetics after you have made a pack purchase.
-
look at unknowns image to see how the different levels give you access to which ones.
-
only future cosmetics will be available. you cannot buy previous cosmetics.
ancient pivot
and everything they show is concept art so you buy on faith you will like it
@unreal zealot what i mean is, can you buy them now
ruby swift
@ancient pivot Can you go into a character creator and apply skins? Currently no.

Yes, you can buy a package right now on the store site.

which classes will have combat pets?
unreal zealot
everyone can have a combat pet
slow meadow
check here: https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Pets#Combat_pets there are combat pets separate from summoner type summons and don't have class limitations.
ancient pivot
sacrifice? =(.... Otherwise its awesome that all classes will have access
unreal zealot
we dont know what shape the sacrifice might be, maybe it takes 10% of your outgoing dps or somthing we just dont know yet
slow meadow
@ancient pivot think of it this way. if you add a combat pet you sacrifice 10% damage, but the combat pet does 10% damage. its meant to balance out so that your relative power level ends up the same its just in a different form with the pet versus someone who didn't use one.
ancient pivot
it better not be significant?!
unreal zealot
the pet can easilly have other skills tho that will also probably make them more viable for certain classes
like for melee an pet that can attack at range will be more valuable maybe
slow meadow
correct, my example is just for illustration purposes we don't know what the sacrifice vs benefit will be, just that its meant to be roughly balanced and not be a straight power gain by having one.
ancient pivot
thanks!

in terms of animal husbandry i know we can sell mounts we breed but will we be able to sell pets?
ruby swift
As in the small cosmetic pets? No info on those yet or if they are part of the crafting system. We know they can be gained in game, just not the mechanic, whether it is under taming, or other system.
Combat pets and cosmetic pets use different slots. And may have different mechanics.
crystal beacon
silly, but can you marry an npc
worthy radish
I'm so excited about animal husbandry. I'm assuming you'd need help from a max tamer though, right?
That is going to be interesting. Will there be a "gathering" skill involved in animal husbandry too?
Ohhh
And then for crafting?
unique blade
Hello !
tropic sandal
yea i always though it was just taming -> husbandry and that's where that line ends
worthy radish
Have you heard of a game called Dofus?
tropic sandal
Yes, I played Dofus before it was Dofus lol
unique blade
sorry if this has been asked a 1,000 times before, are there key give away events happening often? ( for the current Alpha )
worthy radish
Dofus has a mount breeding feature too
onyx knoll
@unique blade There are no giveaways for alpha keys currently. The only mention of giveaways have been concerning the future Beta tests, which won't be for a while still.
unique blade
ok thanks

Dofus has a lot of things similar to AoC, in the politics and evolving world side of things
but not in the same ways
oh you're right I thought this was my bad

viral steppe
@simple ether looking forward to more of your streams, they keep me company on my long drives! I had a question about mounts, you mentioned tier 3 water mounts, do you mean ships for pvp or is there sea monsters on the table
worthy radish
I saw a map of the world and it seems to look like WOW where you got 2 continents. Does that mean you are kinda trapped on a continent until you can sail over to other side?
viral steppe
:O
worthy radish
Any type of boat will do?
I would potentially do that as long as monsters don't kill me doing it lol
😬 risky
viral steppe
@simple ether thank for the info, so a coastal node will have access to the water mounts? Is that the same timer and concept as a dragon mount, and will there be chances for a non mayorial tier three water mount?
worthy radish
There's gonna be water mounts!?!?
novel ice
Yes
novel ice
Boats will have different functions like combat and supply inventories. Doubt the mounts will
tidal stone
All mounts are temporary in ashes of creation right?
worthy radish
Could onboard boats and ships easier on a mount 🤔 interesting gameplay
tidal stone
Oh ok
viral steppe
@simple ether rgr that, will wait for more info
worthy radish
What does T3 mean?
worthy radish
Ohhh
near horizon
gliding mounts are permanent?
novel ice
@simple ether Most mounts are certain tiers right? And special mounts are "skins" to apply to them? Or am I remembering that wrong
woven vale
@near horizon I believe so as they are T2 mounts
viral steppe
Ive also seen that mounts can have abilities, what sort of abilities would t1 and t2 mounts have if they arent usable for pvp?
tidal stone
What exactly is animal husbandry if it isn't breeding or taming? I looked up the word and it said "caring for and breeding animals"
novel ice
Got it. So the skin for mounts will only be applicable if you have aquired or animal husbandries the right "tier" for a mount. And mounts have different stats within those tiers that you would then have to take off, and reapply to that mount @simple ether
novel ice
so get a ditto and breed all the things 
tropic sandal
Ranchers in real life practice animal husbandry
novel ice
cool so stats arent special to specific mounts. Just the right tier.
tropic sandal
Stats are tier and mount-type based
worthy radish
Can you breed any combo of mounts? Can T3 mounts be bred?
tropic sandal
based on your husbandry skill, etc.
tidal stone
Also it sounds relatively low effort compared to running around the map looking for ore or herbs all the time
tidal stone
Oh I assumed I'd need to buy the tamed mounts
novel ice
I dont think every aspect needs to be high effort or complex anyways. Dont see the value in that
worthy radish
I'm assuming you could buy tamed mounts but I'm sure they will be costly
tidal stone
Also do they die? What's to stop me from making the same animals breed over and over and selling it's babies
worthy radish
They will probably become sterile after X amounts of breeding like in other games
tropic sandal
Tamers supply the animals for Animal Husbandry, like herbalism supplies ingrediants for alchemy
tidal stone
Huh
worthy radish
Can mounts have twins?
tropic sandal
We have very little information on the artisan trees

@errant chasm that's true but I like merching which means a significant portion of my funds will likely be in item form most of the time

I don't think the tavern games gonna have a gambling structure. Since it's illegal for game companies to encourage gambling in many countries, it'll be designed in some other fashion.

dire quarry
I was having some trouble finding info on this. Is there any word on the benefits to using action combat skills > tab targeting skills?
I was curious if there was a benefit (other than preference) to using action skills since I'd imagine the tab target abilities would land more consistently, which would provide higher damage output
dusky zodiac
Action skills would be used for aoe, movement and even some cc. some examples are mage's teleport, Tank's Shield might
summer flame
Probably too situational to really say either would be more beneficial.
digital yacht
@dire quarry Yes
Action Combat = Hard CC's
Tab Target = Soft CC's
@dire quarry
Action Combat = Crits in form of Headshots
Tab Target = Crits in form of % Chance
Action also might have Higher dmg all together or higher heals as they are harder to hit
this is all to be tested so nothing is 100% set in stone
but that is the direction they were leading
dusky zodiac
also you will still need to have at least 25% of the skills to be either action or tab targeting too it seems
dire quarry
I saw that it was still changing
Thanks for the info
I like that setup
digital yacht
yes there will always be both the most u can have is 75% of one and 25% of the other
crystal flax
@digital yacht I thought headshots were confirmed to not be in the MMO

quick question regarding the matter of bot farms and how you will deal with them as they have been kind of intrusive to my enjoyment in past mmos.\
clever quartz
Where is the question tho 
steady ocean
@nova sigil There will be security systems in place to detect botting, we don't know the specifics
errant chasm
they mentioned a full time gm staff in game along with systems running to track accounts and flag them getting items they shouldent or trading with known botters / rmt people so assume they'll have systems in place to review botting flagged accounts
manual review for anything their system flags from what the wiki says
full badger
@nova sigil https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Security_systems This is all we know about it right now
errant chasm
thanks mist i was too lazy to look it up
clever quartz
Oh yeah, will there actually be active GMs in the game? Also, in alot of games, you see quests that require you to kill 100 mobs, but when you finally find the mobs you need to kill, other people are there, and it takes forever to get the quest done. Also with repeatable quest, it can take forever. Will there be any mechanics in place, to boost spawn rate of mobs or locations then?
full badger
That will likely fall under the world management system, which we know very little about. I'm sure it will be something that will be looked at during the testing phases @clever quartz
nova sigil
yea sorry coulda worded that better just had awful experiences with Korean mmos

errant chasm
isnt that instanced content in general not specifically dungeons 80% of the game will be open world and 20% will be instanced
clever quartz
So assholes with no life and job, who spends 10 hours each day in the game, will come and 'take' my dungeon, cause they have the better gear?
That sounds nice
sly monolith
get rekt!!
grim breach
@errant chasm It's referring to dungeons. There may be other instanced content such as arenas, but dungeons will be 80/20.
errant chasm
got the source for that? pretty sure last time he mentioned it in the tim interview he included apartments in that 20%
grim breach
nova sigil
i mean theres gonna have to be some protection ya cant have etheral chinese hackers yeeting everyone suff
grim breach
Regarding Apartments, yes they will be instanced. But that is referring to the housing system.
errant chasm
thanks i didnt know that was specified to dungeons
grim breach

@nova sigil the only protection is other ppl u can be attacked almsot anywhere in the world, there is no safe zones maye other then the starting area
grim breach
Almost everything in the game will be open world, including sieges.
errant chasm
or avoiding pvp in general so ur name stays green as a possible deterrent to make people not want the corruption from killing you
nova sigil
yea I suppose the corruption gonna be the main deterrent anyways
digital yacht
@errant chasm u get more resources for killing Greens so there will always be those ppl out there that take the risk for the reward
errant chasm
true but to answer @clever quartz yea people that invest more time into the game likely will come in and take ur spot if they want it
nova sigil
true survival of the fittest I'm just worried about my shit getting stolen
errant chasm
if its completed gear / potions u cant lose it unless ur a corrupted player just raw materials can be dropped
dire quarry
My understanding is that you'll be able to stay unflagged for PVP and it won't really be worth it to kill you for your farm spot if you're unflagged. That being said, you probably won't get the same benefits you'd get while flagged (this second part is speculation on my part)
clever quartz
To be honest, it should only be 'red players', who got a chance to drop their shit
errant chasm
red players can drop equipped gear they said
clever quartz
Ah
digital yacht
@dire quarry tif they dont flag back and theyve been there awhile its def worth to kill them u will get a lot of resources
