@full badger about auction house, so in short you have have to be in economic node and can buy from other economic nodes only and you have to go there to get the stuff?

locallising resources can be good or bad... tedium is not a thing that should be ingame.. if transporting goods around the world would take ages... we might have a problem

You have local markets otherwise. Remote buying requires the economic node. But you can travel around and just try your luck, or know someone who knows someone.
feral cloud
player stall/shops are a thing, but there are some unknowns about it
https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Personal_shops
Really hoping that you could open a personal shop in any town, heck in any place. Imagine, opening a stall in front of a dungeon entrance, selling potions and repair kits, that would make a bank 😄

hello does anyone know if there will be an achievement system in this video game
crystal beacon
hello every1, i discovered this game about 3 weeks ago and totally hooked already. I was wondering, is there any way to get the Alpha 1 keys? if not do you know when the Alpha2 will go live? BTW is there a specific discord for content creators? thank you very much

thank you Riddix

@stark ingot https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Achievements

There is currently no way to buy into Alpha 1 right now. That may change later on if they need more testers for it, but for now the earliest you can buy into is Alpha 2, which should be happening sometime next year (no official date given on that yet though) @crystal beacon
stark ingot
@feral cloud thank you slender boy
crystal beacon
@full badger thank you 😦
what about content creators, do you guys know if there is a specific discord channel?
full badger
The official content creator program for Ashes is inactive, and will be reworked soon. @crystal beacon
crystal beacon
Will you be able to place stalls in your house with items listed for sale?
@full badger thank you
full badger
@crystal beacon Freeholds can be turned into shops and taverns to sell things to other players
feral cloud
@crystal beacon you can do it in an economic node but there is a quote that creates some uncertainty about it.
crystal beacon
Also do we have any idea on how taxes will work and how badly you can be taxed by a mayor?

@young elk Alpha 2 is slated to have secondary classes. So, yes. However, we might not see all of them at once. Secondary class augments will probably be there first, augments from social organisations might come later.
serene quarry
If a mayor set the nodes tax rate to 0% is there a way for citizens to donate directly to the public coffers of the node in order for its progression?
full badger
You can donate resources and money to certain projects in a node but I don't know if you can donate direct to the node treasury
serene quarry
^ how is that p2w? the mayor still governs ... and the citizens still fund it ?

Will all nodes have the same appearence if they have the same stage and have been built by the same race?
sly monolith
nodes envolving how much races contribute
many dwarves in a node doing stuff.. prolly a dwarf node
abstract mountain
I know, not trying to be rude, but that was not my question 🙄
sly monolith
hmm.. dont know that... but i do think the different nodes will have different layouts..
you may be seeing similair builinds tho
buildings
abstract mountain
Just found it on the wiki thx 😄
proper crown
Care to share? 😛
abstract mountain
The node appearence will change depending on the race that contributes the most but also its location, major decisions, type and other aspects, so very hard 2 nodes will ever look the same

@abstract mountain Never interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake 🤔
dire tiger
If there are a lot of nodes of the same race however they will essentially be subject to diminishing returns for progression, with other races being favored. So if there are a lot of dwarf nodes in an area and a new node has say 50% dwarf/human player population it will be a lot harder for it to rise as dwarf than human.
crystal beacon
You can't create a dwarf sized human
There are height limitations depending on your race

@dense void There are currently no way to buy into the next testing phase, the alpha 1, which will be starting later this fall. Wayfarer gives you access to the beta which will be in a while.

Magic 8-Ball, will they announce alpha 1 date this stream?

that isnt a date

they will announce a date when they are ready to
not much point in speculating when in "late fall"

Just recently noticed this amazing game, honestly can't wait. And I have to say I'm in a way lucky not to have found it before and have had to wait so long 😅
Do we roughly know when the release date will be?
Or for beta testing in late fall how long would that last?
arctic sky
It's alpha testing late fall
unreal zealot
it's alpha 1 for late fall and maybe alpha 2 some time late next year
community speculation for a release date is 2022/2023
onyx knoll
We don't have any official release date yet, nor do we know how long alpha 1 testings will last
arctic sky
They don't say dates until 100% sure because community pulled out the pitchforks for missing a single date
atomic lake
Ah I see! Thanks for the clarification, will be following closely!
crystal beacon
I remember people talked about the combat animations being over the top like when he cast a fire attack in the last alpha gameplay release. Are those animations being tweaked or worked on?
swift raft
I just heard of this game, do I need to buy one of the preorder packs to currently play?
onyx knoll
There are currently no way to buy into the next testing phase, the alpha 1, which will be starting later this fall. The earliest you can buy access to would be alpha 2 which will happen sometime after alpha 1, we don't have a date
They MIGHT re-open alpha 1 sales after it begins, but that's not guaranteed

Are guilds bound by race? I’m assuming no but wanted to confirm
kind cloud
no
onyx knoll
Only if the guild leader decides they want to make a race-exclusive guild. The game it-self isn't separated in factions or races, you can group up with players of every races and join guilds with anyone 🙂
crystal beacon
My guild is bound by the Dunir race! The best of races! but yeah no locking
though the armor has some weird race lock kind of
they said that if you are an orc wearing elven armor the aesthetic changes
ivory dust
But that's because an Orc with elven style armor would look really weird

The wiki explains it that all armors will have a general aesthetic to it that is preserved, but your race always gives it a different twist

Seasons change by the week, is this for every zone? and is there a way to permanently set a season? I would like to be able to match the season with the one I am currently experiencing 🙂
woven vale
Seasons will be weekly @mighty gyro
You can't control them, as they effect the world, resources, ect
crystal beacon
I am guessing seasons will change for everyone and you cannot set it to be "one" season for just yourself
mighty gyro
I did not know resources were effected by the season! Yet another mind blowing detail by this game ❤️

were still over a year away from release, right?
woven vale
2-3 years is speculated from community
They don't give out dates anymore as to not disappoint us, so when they do give a date it means they are confident they can follow it
grizzled oasis
THE slider was confirmed
mighty gyro
good point. I'd wait three years for them to do this right
grizzled oasis
guestimated release by community is like ~2022

does the lack of diversity of the races bore anyone? my friend who is interested said the races all seem too similar (a problem he had with Rift)
woven vale
The races are qutie diverse IMO
As each of the 8 are based of differing cultures
Plus Tulnar
And the differing styles of buildings,armor, ect would help that
ruby swift
Lack of diversity? There are nine playable races with distinct architectural differences. Different cultures. You have seen 3 on display.
mighty gyro
he plays wow so you have gnomes and tauren lol. I'm guessing he is talking more about the physical features of the race
desert ivy
Then he'll have Tulnar for that
mighty gyro
Don't shoot the messenger boys, I'm asking for him he's reading too
woven vale
Gnomes won't exist as a playable race though, same with Gobos (aside from monter coin system)
mighty gyro
I'm definitely excited for the architecture types
I'm eternally thakful there wont be a race smaller than dwarves
woven vale
We all are 😉
wooden cobalt
Animations also play a huge role in setting races apart
mighty gyro
agree with that!
gloomy leaf
Hey what are some good shows to what
wooden cobalt
Which is why I barely cared for my race in ESO compared to WoW
woven vale
@gloomy leaf Expand?
mighty gyro
ESO is an amazing game, but the races were so bland that I didnt realize why I was bored until I was with that
animations were bland***
woven vale
Please move this to #general-discussion. Thanks.
gloomy leaf
@woven vale is that a show are u asking like what type of shows
woven vale
@gloomy leaf I fail to understand what you are asking
ruby swift
Any game in an mmo environment is going to have those limitations. Elves-thinner humans. Dwarves-shorter humans Orcs-bigger humans. Tulnar mix of stuff. Sure they could make anthromophic blobs that sprout limbs and are free form, but the amount of resources to animate, make loot and armor production lines, graphical issue clipping and so many others are beyond the budgetary reach of a vast majority of studios to provide a cool "Ohhhhhh" moment that most won't care about or appreciate.
gloomy leaf
@woven vale oh I was just asking about good shows
woven vale
@gloomy leaf Ah, i'd ask this in #general-discussion , but Community is an alright netflix show. Space Force is also good.
ruby swift
Yeah, it is easy to get lost here.

is there a number of characters per account annouced yet?
dire tiger
Physical customization is huge. Cheek bones, noses, brows, think of something like skyrim customization and other heavily detailed games. And then some. You can adjust forso width, masculinity and femininity as a general whole, muscle tone and body fat
what is meant by lack of overall diversity is that you won't have like an orc with big pointy elf ears and stuff or be tiny and squat like a dwarf. They'll still look like an orc, but it'll be hard for one orc to ever look like another orc

how will the tab targeting vs action work, for example, if i play tab, i select a target and shot him, but if someone else get in front of that target, will my projectile will stop on first target, or it will hit the target i was locked on ?
onyx knoll
@lone magnet Currently, that is correct. They might re-open sales for alpha 1 later, but that isn't guaranteed
woven vale
@gloomy vapor You can choose between 25% tab and 75% action or vice versa
flat hearth
There was a schedule for those somewhere. i just cant find it

@flat hearth Outdated. Very

There is no schedule for anything except A1
lone magnet
can some tag me if alpha are sold again

Is there anything informationwise on A1?

@bitter tendon you don’t need to buy any box. After release you just need to pay the sub fee to play
bitter tendon
yea, that i know but i was wanting to get the beta test's that are coming, so i just got sad when i saw the conversion to BRL
desert ivy
Highly doubt they'll do conversions for the pre-order packs because people would just VPN their region and then buy the pack for way way cheaper. The subs may be harmonized in the future because you will be restricted to the region you pay for if you pay a harmonized price
woven vale
^ Better explanation
bitter tendon
yea, makes sense. ill just have to hope for a beta key coming to me by luck then.
it sucks but its not on them, brazil is just fucking its ppl again for being fucked

So one thing that was missing from the hybrid combat video was hitscan/projectile based abilities like bow skills, free-aim fireballs and stuff.

onyx knoll
@bronze eagle We don't have a date for the full release, as you saw we're only in alpha 1 (well, soon) however so there is still a ways to go 🙂
ruby swift
@bronze eagle It is in a pre-alpha stage atm. Will be alpha stage later this year. Means depending on problems that occur they have no idea.
bronze eagle
@onyx knoll @ruby swift ok thanks haha. hype is real.
mystic wyvern
After I purchase a current pre-order pack I have the option to buy the future ones as well. Will future pre-order pack purchases be the same full price?
Or are they discounted in some way since I'm only after the new items?
reef osprey
@mystic wyvern you can upgrade for the difference
or get Single cosmetics discounted
mystic vigil
Any plans to ditch xsolla as payment platform?
mystic wyvern
Ah gotcha, so after the initial purchase I have more granular options.
onyx knoll
Once you buy a pack, you'll be able to buy the cosmetics that are released later on individually, as long as they are of the same tier as the pack you purchased.
desert ivy
@mystic vigil Yes, but they've been planning to for like the past year+ and haven't yet so we're not sure when it'll happen
mystic wyvern
Perfect, thanks everyone.
mystic vigil
@desert ivy thank god, thanks

can you tell Jeff it was fun interacting with him during the stream
tropic spruce
Where can we list ideas we have? I'm sure you're all inundated but there were a few points from the stream that Steve said he was open to feedback.
onyx knoll
The forums is probably your best bet 🙂
tropic spruce
Any post or just create a new topic? Didn't see anything pinned.
onyx knoll
You can give a quick look if any of the current posts match your idea/topic, and if it doesn't look that way then feel free to make your own

something about the AoC EU page?
tropic spruce
Ok thanks!
No just combat ideas and such.

@split crest Nothing was mentioned during the live stream concerning the EU shop, they are still transitioning after leaving their partnership with my.games so it will take some time before everything is set up and ready to go

Can you still get alpha keys without pre ordering? i signed up a while ago but i wasnt sure.
onyx knoll
Unfortunately not, the only way to get access to the alpha is by purchasing a pre-order pack that includes a key to it. Alpha 1 sales are closed, but you can still buy into alpha 2
unreal harbor
did they mention anything about the next month's cosmetics for preorder?
woeful citrus
Just saw the combat in the livestream and looks good, anyone know if they will implement basic auto attacks though?
runic ember
There won’t be auto attacks
wispy frigate
Quick question:
Will the 'Braver of Worlds' package in the shop still be available in Decemeber?
steady ocean
@wispy frigate The kickstarter closed over 2 years ago my friend. Unless you are wanting to upgrade a kickstarter/summer backer pack you already own
arctic sky
if you had a previous KS pack you can still upgrade
desert ivy
@woeful citrus No, there won't be any "right click target and auto attack forever", you'll have to manually press a button to swing your weapon
arctic sky
they will most likely warn before you cant
onyx knoll
If you are not a backer already, then you can't purchase that pack anymore. If you are a backer and are looking to upgrade, then it will probably still be available in december. If they chose to close down the kickstarter upgrades you'll receive an e-mail about it in advance
wispy frigate
perfect, ty @onyx knoll
glossy bobcat
When will ashes mmorpg be playable
grim venture
I'm in love with the action combat that was showcased today. Will we see maybe before the end of this year some gameplay showing the Pyrian Elves?
@glossy bobcat
onyx knoll
@glossy bobcat the game will be playable by a small portion of players who have access to the alpha 1 later this fall. If you wish to participate in the testing of the game before it's official launch, you can purchase a pre-order package and join us when alpha 2 starts later on. The final release date is unknown
grim venture
Can players own a castle? They look amazing 😮
grim venture
wow thats amazing
slow meadow
you don't really own the castle, you control it. like they talked about it the stream. it is controlled by NPCs when you first arrive in verra. Guilds can siege the castle against the NPCs and each other to take control. They then control the castle for a month before they will have to defend the castle themselves. This siege happens each month and each time you must fight to keep control. @grim venture
grim venture
Can you employ NPCs to assist in defending or attacking a castle?
reef osprey
Defending yes
Attacking no
grim venture
wow thats amazing, I was really expecting a no from that
reef osprey
There Will be NPC guards and bosses
grim venture
😱 WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTT
slow meadow
yes there are several things that the controlling guild will need to do for defense preparations. NPCs guards are one part of that. But even collecting your taxes from the surrounding economic region to pay for things will require you to safe guard the caravans carrying the money. so a lot of effort to keep control.
lean thicket
i just bought Voyager Plus , im very exited about the alpha and beta's testing , UberAwesome game
oak depot
@reef osprey NPC bossed in castles the first time they are taken (prior to any guild claiming it) I believe, no? After a guild claims it the guild must defend it without NPC bosses was my understanding
reef osprey
@oak depot there will be defending mini bosses and bosses supporting the Defenders
@oak depot for the quote:
Siege NPCs serve as defense points. Killing them allows the attackers to gain advantages during a siege.[44] NPCs are only killable during a siege and will respawn if the siege is unsuccessful.[45]
NPC guards are intended to be a significant presence but not the main line of defense in a siege.[46]
slow meadow
@oak depot the raid boss is switched out for the relic at the center when it switches from NPC to Player controlled. NPCs beyond that will still exist based on defense preparations by the guild
idle basin
I see the Twitch streaming, but my english id bad. If some can cofirmed this.
In the streaming says that the Alpha 2 is delayed to Next year because the change of office or only delayed the Office change
oak depot
Wasn’t challenging the NPC guard statement, just the NPC boss statement
reef osprey
@idle basin no, Alpha 1 is still this year
Alpha 2 hasn't been announced yet, neither has it been delayed
slow meadow
@reef osprey @idle basin alpha 1 is this year. we do not have a date for alpha 2 and have not had one.
rigid rose
@idle basin just them moving into the new office is delayed 🙂

no A1 is set back to next year at least that is what i got out of the last livestream update
desert ivy
? No it's not
boreal quartz
The A1 isn't delayed, The office transfer is delayed. I believe.
desert ivy
Yes, the office move was delayed, not A1
boreal quartz
Steven worded it weird
desert ivy
We've known about the office move being delayed for a while though
boreal quartz
Yes but he talked about it on stream.
The way he worded it made it sound like A1 was delayed.
plucky pawn
He was providing an update that our studio move would take place next year, so that we weren't doing Alpha testing at the end of this year at the same time 😄
unreal zealot
i assume the move will take place in-between alpha 1 sessions?
desert ivy
Probably depends on how long A1 lasts along with how long covid keeps California locked down
halcyon chasm
so castle atk can be atked by several guilds or how does that work?
sullen ember
yep sorrie my bad it is in de vidio at 1.07
novel ice
He was providing an update that our studio move would take place next year, so that we weren't doing Alpha testing at the end of this year at the same time 😄
@plucky pawn I had to read that a couple times lol
slow meadow
@halcyon chasm the siege for taking the castle from NPCs will be multiple guilds attacking at the same time trying to kill the raid boss while fighting each other. Normal castle siege will be one guild that declares, and multiple guilds (or individuals)can join so its just one set of attackers and defenders.
halcyon chasm

Will all Master Crafters have access to the same dials? Or they eventually have to choose a few to unlock?
Just thought about this playing out-- new question; Will there be a "point-pool" of sorts on these dials to prevent Master Crafters from cranking everything up to 11?

slim acorn
Just caught up with the live stream. saw the part about no addons, but actonbars will be 'highly customizable'. I use addons to turn actionbars into 3x4 grids that map to the Razer Tartarus. Any word on whether 'highly customizable' includes changing bars to grids and custom keybinds?
rigid rose
@slim acorn we do not have that information yet 🙂
On the turning into grids and such.

Ok, good to know I'm not the only one in the dark 😄

They are still working on the UI.... anything you have seen in videos is placeholders.
feral mural
Feedback: it's 2020 and tab target mmorpgs have been boring for at least 10 years now
unreal zealot
good thing its a hybrid combat system then
feral mural
they even stated today that if they could go back they would make it pure tab target, but yeah, having attacks auto aim ruins immersion for me
dusty cloud
is there a petition open to remove tab target from the game yet?
lusty kite
@dusty cloud the combat system is a hybrid. Hybrid combat refers to the choice between tab targeted skills, action targeted skills, or a mix of both in the Ashes of Creation MMORPG.[7] This is achieved through choice of skills/abilities.[8][9] (from the wiki). This system will be tested in alpha1 and beyond
dusty cloud
Yea I know, but tab targeting ruin it imo
desert ivy
If they can't get the hybrid system working correctly then they've already said that they'd remove the action combat and just go with pure tab, so you better hope the hybrid works out correctly
dusty cloud
wow rip then :/
feral mural
they should just use their battle royale combat system, that actually looked pretty fun
lusty kite
wow rip then :/
@dusty cloud bye bye then
desert ivy
Nah, unless something goes really wrong then the hybrid system should be fine
desert ivy
Only bad tab target games have it like that. Good tab target systems like ArcheAge aren't that boring as they involve using the gliders, mounts, and other features in combat
novel ice
I'm glad there are no addons. To many ways for them to play the game for you

im a hybrid mouse and keyboard clicker since my typing speed sucks and i often need to look at the keyboard i use both to active abilities its actually very fun tho

Is the livestreamed macaws today a good representation of time-to-kill? they seemed pretty tanky for the level difference

Not really @urban pumice Steven only basic attacked for the most part, and his character isn't necessarily speced for effective combat

ooo understood, thanks 😄
desert ivy

oh yes, definitely
keen galleon
will there be a way of setting up a UI layout/colour etc and sharing that with others so that we can share UI design layouts etc?
onyx knoll
@keen galleon The UI is currently in the very early design stages, they have however stated that they want to offer a wide range of customization. I don't know if we'll be able to share our layout, that would be an interesting idea to share on the forums
keen galleon
cool will share it there. i'm certain that it will go down well 🙂
grizzled ingot
Are castles subject to the same prime-time based war declaration as nodes? I.e. When do guilds need to be actively defending a castle?
Or is it 24/7 operation to ensure no other guilds get too close with a bunch of siege weaponry getting ready to drop a war dec
tulip hatch
Its the same prime time window
lusty ruin
man i just got back after being gone for two years, i have so much reading to do
steel spade
how destructible is the world? Like can you chop down every tree?
grizzled ingot
^^ Interesting. I wonder how the preparation works then? I.e. can my guild bring over siege weaponry and muster everyone 200 yards outside of a castle, and then drop a war dec right at 6PM when primetime window opens?
abstract mountain
Hmmm
I think thats wrong, they've said you can allocate skill points in weapons

Any info on how dodge/ rolling works?
pseudo nimbus
when is Ashes of creation releasing ?
pseudo nimbus
how can you get into the alpha?
neon halo
Have you guys thought of bringing back Apocalypse with all primary and secondary professions? I'm sure many of us would love to give hours and hours of data and testing before launch.
onyx knoll
You currently cannot get into alpha 1 anymore, you can however buy into alpha 2 by purchasing the 250 or 375 pre-order packs on the shop https://accounts.ashesofcreation.com/shop?IntrepidSession=1597695218525.49378
@neon halo Steven has mentioned wanting to re-open APOC after alpha 1 for further testing of some game mechanics
I'm not sure if it will have all the complete classes however, might just be primary archetypes
pseudo nimbus
how will the game be priced after release?
arctic sky
no box cost
blissful heron
are you going to be able to see opponents lvl in pvp?
dusk gulch
when can i play this, and wut version of the game would let me play the game asap?
pseudo nimbus
the 350$ one
dusk gulch
and wuts the closest date that i can play it?
pseudo nimbus
this fall
dusk gulch
refunds available if the game isnt what i expected?
cuz i wanna see which game to invest in new world, or AOC since they are pretty similar in a way. which is casual oriented?
onyx knoll
The game is still in testing phase, it probably will not be what you expect. If you're uncertain, I'd recommend you wait until the NDA lifts in late fall and you can see the streams and videos that the content creators release and get a better idea of if the game is in a state you want to experience yourself
slim dagger
tbh, from what i've seen between New World and AoC...I'd 100% back AoC, and New World is in beta. AoC looks waay better than NW in both of their current states.
slow meadow
@dusk gulch no need to invest. the alphas aren't under NDA so you can see it streamed and get a feel for it that way. the game is sub only with no box cost on launch so you can always just experience it that way as well.
onyx knoll
@pseudo nimbus The 350$ does NOT give you access to the tests that begin this fall, the 350 has alpha 2 access, for which we have no date yet 🙂
pseudo nimbus
Oh yea
dusk gulch
the only way to make a judgement is to play it, but since 350$ doesnt give access i guess ill wait and try it out once it releases, ty.
frank elk
Does the pre-order package change every month? Am I understanding that correctly
onyx knoll
@frank elk Only the cosmetics change, the next cosmetic switch is on september 2nd
vapid sinew
alpha 2 probably wont be til end of year/early next
unless alpha 1 goes really well i'd assume
frank elk
Ya all just speculation
stray current
Alpha 1 starts end of this fall. So almost 2021
dusk gulch
so the game is planned for late 2021?
hallow torrent
Any info on how long the 2 packs granting alpha 2 access will be available? I know it’s way early for this question but do you think there will be some sort of announcement in case Alpha 2 registration throught those packs won.t no longer be available?
slow meadow
@dusk gulch there are no dates for the game past alpha 1 testing in late fall this year.
onyx knoll
@dusk gulch No, we have no release date for the full launch
stray current
The game does not have a release date yet. It is all speculation, but don't be surprised at a 2022 launch.
dusk gulch
or planned?
slow meadow
@hallow torrent yes they did that when the alpha 1 packs were going away. they will announce it in #news
hallow torrent
Sweet, ty!
onyx knoll
Nope, they'll only announce a release date when they know for sure they can meet it
slow meadow
@dusk gulch "when its ready" is what steven has said on multiple occasions.
dusk gulch
do they know at which stage the game currently is like percentage wise
onyx knoll
They don't have a board of directors pushing them to release earlier then they'd like so the game will take the time it'll take to get to a point Steven is happy with it
They haven't given us a road map, so it's hard to say what % they're at
stray current
onyx knoll
You can look at some of the dev footage to get an idea yourself, but I can't give you anything specific, sorry 😦
dusk gulch
are all the features they want in game implemented? or like what are they currently workin on? in conclusion
just a summary
a lil sentence or 2
hallow torrent
Judging by the massive involvement of the community and the dedication to release a great alpha 1 stage ready for testing on multiple fronts I wouldn’t be surprised if progress will be faster than we expect. That being said I hope they will take their time testing every game mechanic extensively
slow meadow
@dusk gulch the first pass of most of the main systems will be in alpha 1 but not all of them. Many of those will go through several iterations throughout testing. There is no way to really get a sense of where in development the game is relative where they need to be for release because some of the design is going to be figured out in testing.
dusk gulch
and will there be NDA after/during testing?
slow meadow
once alpha 1 begins there will be no NDA so those of us with access will be streaming it.
dusk gulch
which month/date?
slow meadow
@dusk gulch all we know right now is late fall. As we get closer it will get more specific.
dusk gulch
so delayed from august? or still possible?
slow meadow
the testing in August is for LoM and is pre-alpha testing. nothing has been delayed
digital yacht
^ if only u knew
dusk gulch
i see, ty.

@digital yacht would love to know but am not LoM (and even then NDA), so I have to stick with what's publicly available

is it posible or if not is it too late to have player businesses for crafting, in all these mmo anime i watch i want to replicate being a swordsmith or blacksmith the server knows about.

I mean, you can be a blacksmith/weaponsmith/armoursmith and set up an in-game stall or shop
So kinda?

Rather than kill mobs id be there building weapons and stuff

Anyone know the average wait time for a help ticket reply?
desert ivy
They're a bit backed up right now so it may be quite a while. Not sure on the exact wait
slow meadow
@granite siren you can dabble in all professions but can only master a couple from within a single artisan path so once that choice is made it seems locked in. Also progression within gathering/processing/crafting is separate than your class level so you will need to participate in normal leveling if you want to be able to do certain things within the game.
desert ivy
Some people have reported 1-2 weeks
severe apex
Ok i'm at a week so I guess I'll give it one more
desert ivy
It may be better now though since that was a week or so ago I last heard that
worldly zodiac
How do classes work? Do you pick one at character creation and then youre locked to it?
slow meadow
@worldly zodiac you pick your base archetype at character creation, later you will select your second archetype which combined with your first makes your class. You can change your secondary but not your base. Your base determines your abilities and role in the game, your secondary effects your augments.
hallow torrent
2 questions: Can a guild of players ”own“ a castle or is it equally owned by every player thats a citizen in a node governed by the castle? Im trying to figure how combat between zones will be organised. If a node is attacked by guilds from a different castle region will it be beneficial for neighbouring nodes to come to aid the node thats being attacked? So that they support a member node of their castle region?
slow meadow
castles and nodes aren't really tied together in that way. I would recommend either hitting up the wiki to read a bit more on both, or maybe hitting up Jahlons site over at ashes101.com. Its a lot to try and cover here.
worldly zodiac
Okay so I could start as a fighter then go dreadnaught and later change to hunter and if I wanted to change back to dreadnaught
onyx knoll
@random crater they were leaked on discord by Steven a few days ago
hallow torrent
So is it possible for nodes developing under the same castle region to attack eachother? Wouldnt this be detrimental to the overall economy of that castle region?
slow meadow
@worldly zodiac yes fighter is the base that you can't change but your secondary would be able to letting you switch from dreadnaught to hunter. but keep in mind that process is not meant to be trivial.
wary steppe
Yep, there will be in game system that you’ll have to follow to change secondaries, but that’s pretty much the jest of it. @worldly zodiac
worldly zodiac
Okay cool. I think with all the different possibilities I would find it difficult to pick one thing early on and never be able to change it. Thats good to know. Thanks
autumn sapphire
Quick question, are all mounts just reskins?
slow meadow
no there have been many types of mounts already shown.
worldly zodiac
Speaking of mounts. Do we know much about animal husbandry? Will it kind of be like ark where offspring can mutate and get higher stats? Like a 10th generation horse might be faster and have more hp than the original parent
slow meadow
not a ton is known at this point, but you can breed for different stats and abilities.
onyx knoll
This has everything we know currently : https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Animal_husbandry

oh what! flying mounts die?
desert ivy
The ones you get from world boss drops do
The monarch/mayor ones you keep until you're no longer in that position
autumn sapphire
oof
aight time to be a mayor then
Also, question about the alpha and beta, is there currently an alpha/beta going on? How do I get into it? Is there a schedule for these things?
onyx knoll
@autumn sapphire We are curently in pre-alpha, alpha 1 is scheduled to start sometimes later this fall. Currently, you cannot buy into alpha 1 anymore tho they have said they might re-open the sales. You can purchase a pack that includes keys to either the alpha 2 or the beta on the shop https://accounts.ashesofcreation.com/shop?IntrepidSession=1597695218525.49378
We don't have a date for alpha 2 or the betas yet
gusty siren
@autumn sapphire bro did rinzor tell you aboutthis
onyx knoll
This is as close to a "schedule" as you can find: https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Release_schedule
autumn sapphire
@onyx knoll Do you have any idea when the full release might be? like in years
placid vessel
@autumn sapphire 2-3 years.
onyx knoll
@autumn sapphire Anything I tell you would be just me guessing in the dark, 2-3 years is what most people tend to agree upon based on the progress we've been shown so far
autumn sapphire
hmm ok
raw gyro
Is the timing for sword attacks the same regardless if in tab target OR hybrid focus?
worldly zodiac
Will ranged only be tab target or can you aim? And will that completely gimp you vs tab target aimbot
In regards to flagging and open world pvp. If you kill a non flagged person do they drop anything. If youre flagged or corrupt do you drop anything? What is gained or lost on death if anything
slow meadow
they drop raw and processed goods. if you are flagged for pvp you drop half as much. if you are corrupt you have a chance to drop your items as well at certain levels of corruption
worldly zodiac
Nice
I played New world alpha when it was pvp focused and I am no longer interested in the game after playing the preview. Im glad pvp will have risk and reward in this game

glossy nacelle
question : will classes have different combat pools they draw from for their abilites? for example wars rage, casters mana, rogues focus, and if so will hybrid classes have both? A paladin with both rage and mana pools?
unreal zealot
we dont know yet as atm everything they released has mana but it is all pre alpha and as they release more archetypes to test hopfully we will see their resources evolve to suit the rpg theme of said archtype
slow meadow
only mana pools.
yes you could move up to voyager plus, if they were to bring back an alpha 1 pack you should be able to upgrade to that as well.

@karmic wyvern they would like to support controllers but it has not been stated as in scope yet. they will look in to it closer to launch.

question on mount skins. can you only apply certain skins to certain mount types? say i buy a flying mount skin...does that require a flying mount in-game, or can you apply it to a ground mount and it just won't fly, but will have that skin
slow meadow
@lofty stirrup let me clarify. if you buy package you get whatever is in that package at the time. you will then have the option to upgrade and get the higher level cosmetics from the pack during the month you upgraded.
wraith idol
Not been stated to how all skins will work but I’d assume a skin will be mount specific
thick lagoon
hmm. feel like that should be emphasized in the shop when looking at a mount like pridestalker for example
slow meadow
@thick lagoon there are a few tiers of mounts, lets use just ground and gliding as examples. if you have a gliding mount skin you need to obtain a gliding mount in the game as it cannot be applied to a ground mount.
thick lagoon
you're buying a skin that...99% of players will never be able to use if you can only use it with a flying mount
slow meadow
@thick lagoon I don't think there has ever been a flying mount skin in the shop. they are either ground or gliding skins.
thick lagoon
well im looking at pridestalker right now. wiki says it's for flying
i'm just saying the shop should probably specify that as well
slow meadow
from the wiki
thick lagoon
it says epic mount, so i guess epic might imply that
but it could be clearer
i know. i'm a kickstarter. i have access to all ks rewards, all summer rewards
slow meadow
it only acts as a flying mount if you are a king/queen. otherwise its just a gliding mount skin.
thick lagoon
if that's true, great. that's why i asked the question
slow meadow
also from the wiki, to backup my statement 🙂
slow meadow
the first link backed up the gliding mount claim the second link backed up the king/queen portion.
thick lagoon
oh i didn't notice the first link.
i wonder if that means all flying mounts act as gliding if you don't have access to flying (which the majority never will). it makes sense. otherwise...seems like a lot of wasted skins
slow meadow
I'm pretty sure all the skins in the shop have been gliding tier and only the KS have the added bonus of flight for Kings/Queens/Mayors @simple ether do you know if that is accurate?
oh good point forgot about that one.
thick lagoon
good to know. i was just making sure that flying skins can be put on lower tier mounts. gliding is fine since i assume it'll be...realistically attainable

I see on the map there are islands from small to large. Any idea if a guild is able to take over an island and focus on their navy to stop people from invading?
swift raft
Is there a max amount of people in a guild?
undone magnet
An in game guild probably wouldn't be able to control an island but say you have a alliance of guilds has like 1000 people total you could control an island then.
300 is the current max for a guild (but that is with all the guild upgrades focused on capacity insisted of other buffs).
Starting capacity is projected to be 30-50atm
silver mulch
How many does it take to control a guild stronghold?
Woah
So a 50 member guild won't stand a chance
The price you pay I suppose
I guess a 250 member guild would be jealous of the buffs a small guild will have so it balances out
thick lagoon
30-50 starting seems kinda small
desert ivy
That's why you have to choose between size or extra perks
thick lagoon
i'm picturing launch and you can only have that many in a guild. there's a lot of guilds that will have much much more than that. so they'll just have to wait and be guildless until the guild upgrades a bunch?
silver mulch
Probably^

Any information about that gigantic skeletons from the latest live stream? Those were shown around 19:10 - 19:30 mins

@celest moat They're most likely remnants from the old times after it was destroyed by the Corruption. Perhaps Bacon or anyone who designed the area can tell us more, lore-wise.

Will players from a curtain node get a general message when caravans will depart from their node or how would you stay informed on that? * Example like in yesterday's stream where caravans with taxes will travel towards a castle and its surroundings castle nodes. You would want to protect that caravan. Is it a free fo all to protect or is it a quest/mission
grim breach
It has been stated that local node events such as Caravans will not be announced and will rely on word of mouth. However, I am not sure of Mayoral Caravans.
Previously, they have shown that Mayoral Caravan when launched had a notification popped up. I can't confirm if that's only for testing or debugging purposes.
Or maybe that's a GM message/announcement...

Personal caravans are not announced, mayoral caravans are by the node I believe

Started looking into dev updates and footage for the first time in quite a long time - question for you guys.
I noticed that on-screen action bar space is relatively limited in the footage from last month's development update (11? spaces) - will this game support additional hud space for customisation of player action bars?

@plucky walrus this game is still really far from being complete and they've said a bunch of times that they have the goal of having full ui customization

The main question I was hoping to find info on, which I'm still struggling with.. is what regions will be supported during the Alpha and Beta? I can see their regions for launch, but nothing on whether there'll be an Oce/SEA Alpha or Beta server

When we were testing Apocalypse previously, we had SEA server as well, for a brief moment because there isn't a lot of SEA players. The server was in Singapore. There's a chance a SEA server might open up for Alpha-1, but I highly doubt it.
It's in the wiki. https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Alpha-1#Alpha-1_servers

If you're hesitant, I would suggest you to wait. The current packs only allows access up to Alpha-2 and that is still a long way out. Just letting you know in case if you thought the current pre-order packs give access to Alpha-1 as well.

There will be group summoning as well. And previously in Alpha-0, the game allows Tanks to create a massive wall or something like that. I have no experience with it though.

@idle siren I dont think this is a topic that has been discussed before. BUUUUUUUUUUT, I'm a sloot for gathering and I wanted to ask if the player will be able to make notes on their maps such as if I know there is a area that has a lot of X node, so i can come back for more later? Even if I have to level cartography to do this, I am down. I just really want a notation system! I am currently playing the New World preview and I am learning things that I like and don't like :3

I think that note on the map idea would be kind of neat if it was built into the games systems. Being able to mark on your map like LoZ: Phantom Hourglass lol. Would be cool for immersion, especially if you could share with with other players. Could even encourage a sort of "cartographer" playstyle where you make note of points-of-interest, nodes, etc, and sell it to gatherers/adventurers

lone halo
Sorry if this was already asked, but does anyone know what type of transition will happen when a node progresses to the next stage in regards to the props and overall appearance of the node?
heavy cradle
The node will develop based on the contribution of players and the races. Yesterday in the AoC stream they showed some examples of things like lamps going from small braziers, to tall statues etc.
So a village, will slowly develop into a city, and then a metropolis.
Or do you mean the visual transition as it's happening?
If so - I know there's building transitions when they're being built, but I don't think I've seen what happens from Stage 1 to Stage 2 for example (as it's changing).
lone halo
So as the level 2 node gains more exp towards a level 3 node the assets will slowly begin to change towards the level 3 style?
gusty lichen
Will the nodes look the same as another node on your server?
lone halo
It wont be one big change at once?
heavy cradle
No, it depends on the races that contribute towards the node. So there's Dwarven ones, Elvish ones etc. @gusty lichen
And @lone halo I'm unsure as to what the change will look like when it happens.
full badger
@lone halo they showed off the transition in a previous livestream. Yes it happens instantly from one level to the next
lone halo
Will it be a loading screen kinda thing or just poof everything changes?
full badger
Just poof
heavy cradle
Assets will change, I doubt there will be a loading screen. I think it will just be a case of seeing the world around you evolving.
You hit X (requirement to go from level 2 - 3), everything around you changes to 3.
It won't steadily change starting from level 2 - 3.
lone halo
Ah ok. Thanks
gusty lichen
@heavy cradle ok, but would the nodes look the same if a certain race dominates a server?
heavy cradle
If for example everyone rolled dwarf, then yes there'd be dwarven villages everywhere.
gusty lichen
Would the layouts be the same/predetermined?
heavy cradle
Yes
gusty lichen
That server would be boring, there needs to be a way to prevent that imo
heavy cradle
I'm pretty sure there won't be a full server of one race. Player behaviour in previous MMO's has shown that's not to be a concern. 🙂
But could be a good topic for #aoc-discussion

@heavy cradle is it wrth waiting for eu portal to come up ? will it work out any cheaper to buy through eu ? im guessing price will be the same in total apart from only difference is through eu portal you will see that full price on shop page . if that's the case i may as well buy it now .
heavy cradle
There's a bit of conversation around tax being different dependant on the country you purchase it from, the price will be in the same region if you buy through EU or through IS, but there'll likely be a difference with the currency exchanges and tax. People think it'll be hundreds of dollars different, people think it'll be next to nothing. If you really want the pack, I'd say just buy it, if it's a case of just wanting to buy Alpha 2 - they will announce before it's being taken away - so you could always wait to the last minute and see if the EU portal is up before they remove the Alpha 2 access from the packs.

that and your friends wont be the only ones looking for you
bounty hunters will as well

@woeful citrus keep in mind the penalties are 4x higher for a corrupted player and enough xp debt reduces your effectiveness in combat. so working corruption off through xp gain would be a much more desirable way to do it.

If a player is a rogue in stealth will random directional and AoE attacks remove the stealth or will stealth remain until the stealthed player initiates an action?
steady ocean
Based off the stealth in Apoc, damage can break the stealth
desert ivy
Also note that stealth isn't like other MMORPGs, you aren't actually invisible. Think of it like the Camo in Halo if you ever played that, other people can see a "shimmer" around you so people with a decent eye can see you in stealth
slender hinge
Yeah, I watched all of the livestreams over the past two weeks, so I seen the "Predator" effect of stealth. Thank you for the answers!
Is there any mechanic to balance activity times for sieges and such for multi-time zoned player groups. For instance If I am eastern but play with friends who are pacific.
steady ocean
Sieges can only occur during prime time for that server, for example for a west coast NA server, it may be 4 PM-8 PM PST. This means you will have to be aware of that servers prime time.
slender hinge
Yeah 3 to 7 right? But would there maybe be a server that has rotating times for seiges?
steady ocean
No, only prime times
slender hinge
Thank you for correcting on the times.
steady ocean
Those times were just for example
slender hinge
I foresee a heavy load on US Central and Mountain servers 😛
steady ocean
You have to make the conscious decision to play on a server outside of your normal timezone to play with friends, as the consequence is the weird hours for prime time. That being said, it's still yours/that players choice to do so
slender hinge
Yeah, we will make due, I play with a group that is all over the US, and possibly would have some EU players too.
Can groups get stackable benefits? For instance, if you have two rogues in a group and they are near a spot in a dungeon with treasure finding will they get their skill checks combined?
Sounds like maybe I should post for the livestream, it would be a neat mechanic for some rare content finds.
Kind of along the lines of 8 summoners for a siege golem, maybe 8 rogues / rangers / etc. can band up to discover some rare things.
Will the combat mounts like dragons be able to take out a caravan or are they limited to siege functionality only?
steady ocean
Monarchs will be able to use them to patrol their areas and defend their castle/nodes. I do not believe we know if there will be a cooldown period or not that limits their use.
crystal beacon
The wiki says: "Dodge rolling type skills will be housed in the action skill sets of agile classes such as Rogues or Fighters". But Steven showed dodging in during the last stream. So will dodging be a universal thing for all classes or does the tank have a dodge skill?
slender hinge
I think they are still working out if that will be action based, blocking is something they would like but not confirmed (it is in Apoc).
So dodge would be the same.
But some characters have moments. Like rangers move in and out.
So it would be hard to target them with action skills.
ashen sentinel
Is there a chance that we will see previous Shop Cosmetics up for purchase again?
slender hinge
If they were a pack no.
But there will be similar items.
Like the Turtle in the most recent stream is exclusive to the offer at that time. But there will be other turtles to get.
Any there is also a good amount promised to be in game, not the cash shop, through achievements. That is for all cosmetic type things / mounts.
Will there be a macro system in the game to allow you to stack a sequence of events or button presses with just one button? I know there will not be add-ons, but I was wondering about something more controllable.
Are summoner pets / summons going to have their combat effectiveness scaled off the build / gear of the summoner or will they just be a base summon that has static, non-growth combat effectiveness?

Can mounts be used in battle, also do they level up? After watching new video about combat, gotta say those particles during basic attacks do not look good imo, too flashy, no particles at all during attacking would look much better. Tnx 🙂

Hi, I've been watching the dev update video from yesterday, and there's several mentions of past videos showcasing castle destruction. I don't think I've seen any videos showcasing actual process of castle destruction before, and I am very curious. Could someone point me in the direction of these?
(not the theoretical ideas, but actual physical castle wall being hit by something with visible effects)

Will action based combat be rewarded with higher damage, healing, threat, etc since it will have a higher skill ceiling compared to tab targeting.

@half shell the only differences we know of so far is that hard cc will be mostly action-based
