Side note, Sanctus has no magic but Verra does, and we like being able to use magic, which is another reason to go back through the gateways

I personally think the possible political intrigue between people/guilds is almost enough lore to keep you hooked.

marsh tulip Sep 17, 2020, 10:21 PM

Ah cool, was thinking of maybe doing some writing (only have done stuff for my d&d group) and was thinking why come back.

full badger Sep 17, 2020, 10:22 PM

@marsh tulip https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Lore This has all the information we have regarding the lore right now

onyx knoll Sep 17, 2020, 10:23 PM

#

Do it!! We don't have a lot of lore so far, but feel free to fill in the blanks with what you want! Post it on the forums, too, we love reading fanfics 😄

Tulnar are humanoid animal hybrids right?

steady ocean Sep 17, 2020, 10:30 PM

depends on how you customize character. Could be a mix, could be more of one type. Reptilian/mammalian/etc

I would really enjoy a "live" dynamic group of mobs that have day/night cycles of life. When it's time for them to sleep (some it day, some at night) they goto their hovel)

delicate agate Sep 17, 2020, 10:47 PM

#

are there Q&As or AMAs on a regular schedule?

onyx knoll Sep 17, 2020, 10:52 PM

#

There are monthly live streams that are dev updates and usually include a Q&A at the end where they answer questions taken from the forums. The AMAs are not on a regular schedule, they mentioned they might do an other seeing how the 1st one was so popular tho

crystal beacon Sep 17, 2020, 10:53 PM

#

Will there be a jail system? Where you have to go to court and if you cant pay your bond you have to stay for a period of time?

onyx knoll Sep 17, 2020, 10:53 PM

#

Currently no

crystal beacon Sep 17, 2020, 10:56 PM

#

will the game have something like the great filter? (something like the balrog or smaug, basically a mechanism that will punish the player/s or guilds that gone too far in their craft, or clearing content and punish them with an unfair challenge gatekeeping the best stuff, and possibly requires a community effort to stop it causing damages to players and their property)

digital yacht Sep 17, 2020, 10:59 PM

#

No, the only gatekeeper is urself from what I know, if u can’t beat a boss go do the next lowest tier and improve ur gear

#

But yea u will need groups to do endgame content

#

So ur kinda right

crystal beacon Sep 17, 2020, 11:07 PM

#

the question was rather about interactive content like that,bc I red about storms that destroy nodes before. So there are some examples what I meant: there is a top level blacksmith making the best stuff, and he made a superrare legendary sword that has the best stats but comes to live and becomes a boss itself, or a breeder doing the same but with a mount, or some bosses only spawn when there is a progressing guild that has a lot of nodes under their control

digital yacht Sep 17, 2020, 11:11 PM

#

Anything like that is probably going to need testing before it’s finalized maybe jahlon or unknown will chime in as they know the most

desert ivy Sep 17, 2020, 11:12 PM

#

I've never heard of anything like "storms that destroy nodes". Almost certain that's not a thing.

Also the "or some bosses only spawn when there is a progressing guild that has a lot of nodes under their control" wouldn't be possible since guilds don't control nodes.

hidden urchin Sep 17, 2020, 11:13 PM

Will crouching and/or going prone be mechanics?

desert ivy Sep 17, 2020, 11:13 PM

No

#

Originally they were thinking about it but decided against it

hidden urchin Sep 17, 2020, 11:13 PM

#

Did they state a reason for that?

crystal beacon Sep 17, 2020, 11:14 PM

#

I meant nodes it will reset nodes, like destroying buildings on it

ah

Thanks

ruby swift Sep 17, 2020, 11:17 PM

@crystal beacon Currently the only two things that destroy a node are player initiated siege events and atrophy. Monster coin events may damage services which can then be repaired after the event, and not during siege declaration. If you have a quote about weather events, please link a citation so we can update that information, helps everyone out.

crystal beacon Sep 17, 2020, 11:19 PM

#

I will look for it, I probably heard it in a stream or youtube vid so its probably a not legit info or something I misunderstood

ruby swift Sep 17, 2020, 11:20 PM

#

Remember, if you want it to be "official" needs to have been an actual Intrepid employee that has said it and not some streamer. Sometimes false information is picked up and propagated with no bad intention.

dawn wyvern Sep 17, 2020, 11:57 PM

#

Do we currently know what sort of sabotage spys will be able to do in a node siege? As in with enough preparation they can blow up a wall or gate to allow attackers to flood in

digital yacht Sep 18, 2020, 12:04 AM

That's not very sabotagey ☹

hidden prairie Sep 18, 2020, 2:54 AM

so is this game gonna launch on the 24th and be available to buy/play that day for a diff price other than 15/month? subscription only? or do we have to buy a pre-order pack.

digital yacht Sep 18, 2020, 2:56 AM

where did u get teh 24th from?

#

and no this game is years awy

limber prawn Sep 18, 2020, 2:56 AM

I believe we are looking at a 2021 launch.

short flint Sep 18, 2020, 3:00 AM

@hidden prairie But to answer your question - Yes - If you want to play the game in the future you will only have to buy a single month of subscription $14.99 to get the entire game plus 1 months of play.

#

You cannot buy into Alpha 1 anymore. Purchasing access to that phase is currently shut down for the time being. The earliest thing you can buy as of today, would be an Alpha 2 package from the store. Which is an unreleased date.

hmm, i think a roadmap may help show people what is coming or when to expect things. lots of chatter on websites with speculation.

digital yacht Sep 18, 2020, 3:02 AM

#

they dont want to give roadmaps

short flint Sep 18, 2020, 3:02 AM

#

The Wiki has a great roadmap. There are a lot of ????'s because they do not know when the next phase will actually be ready.

dark jungle Sep 18, 2020, 3:03 AM

very few studios nowdays give official roadmaps and timelines until really close to release

digital yacht Sep 18, 2020, 3:03 AM

@tight gale sounds good. I totally get why you dont want to put a roadmap up right now but for people casually gaining interest all we see on the website is some pre-order stuff. Might be helpful to at least see it say somewhere some very basic date ranges, just so people hear from the source ya know.

digital yacht Sep 18, 2020, 3:07 AM

#

here ya go

#

@ruby swift i guess we know where that guy about weather heard this from

"However, you won’t be able to do everything that you want whenever you want. In the game, seasons will change, and natural disasters will occur. If your base isn’t fortified enough, a blizzard or hurricane can destroy it."

tight gale Sep 18, 2020, 3:11 AM

#

@hidden prairie We do keep our KBAs updated, and dates/timelines for upcoming milestones are usually noted in our Creative Director's Letters each quarter, so stay tuned for those.

As we get closer to the Alpha One date, we'll have a lot more articles coming to give sneak peeks of content you can expect, and when we are ready to announce the date, we'll do so through our official mediums as well. 😉

ruby swift Sep 18, 2020, 3:11 AM

Hmmm...depends on if base means node. Will put it in the "needs more clarification" category. @digital yacht

thats from an article with very off info, so its safe to safe thats wrong too @ruby swift

Okay, I've been keeping it pretty vague so far anyway so good to know

sweet saffron Sep 18, 2020, 3:45 AM

#

What are the requirements to have your own freehold?

#

the whut

sweet saffron Sep 18, 2020, 4:06 AM

#

ooo

#

ok

digital tangle Sep 18, 2020, 4:38 AM

#

so, about free holds and buildings in nodes, as I understand it you can build processing buildings in freeholds as well has having a mayor "choose" to build them in nodes. If I don't have a free hold and they node's mayor doesn't build the buildings I assume I can't process raw materials?

short flint Sep 18, 2020, 4:47 AM

#

we doint know too much about processing yet

limber canopy Sep 18, 2020, 4:53 AM

#

regarding the freehold cosmetics are they for the main building or are they for specific buildings like forges and such?

#

is there a way to tell when you pay for them like for instance this months building

#

I thought last months may have been a market

#

ah that kind of sucks hopefully they can square that away soon thanks for the help @simple ether ive creeped on almost all of your videos so far good information thank you

#

i have been thinking of making my take on some components of the game as well would you be ok with me using clips of your videos as long as i credit you if I do decide to do that?

dawn wyvern Sep 18, 2020, 4:57 AM

#

Do we know roughly how much game play it would take to be able to afford housing in this game? From cheap-mid-expensive?

short flint Sep 18, 2020, 4:58 AM

#

that granular detail probably won't be made available until at least Beta 1 if not higher.

sweet saffron Sep 18, 2020, 4:58 AM

#

probably not till release tbh

digital tangle Sep 18, 2020, 5:04 AM

#

are buildings permanent once built in a node or can a new mayor remove buildings

#

other than nodes being destoryed

limber canopy Sep 18, 2020, 5:05 AM

#

i think buildings within a city or whatever node it is are permanent until destroyed but we haven't got 100% info on that yet

digital tangle Sep 18, 2020, 5:05 AM

#

I enjoy thinking up problems

limber canopy Sep 18, 2020, 5:05 AM

#

they power of the city governing official hasnt been covered really that i have seen

#

the power not they

digital tangle Sep 18, 2020, 5:06 AM

#

it's pretty early on

limber canopy Sep 18, 2020, 5:06 AM

#

hopefully they can figure that kind of thing out in the alpha testing

#

I know there are are restrictions like @simple ether has mentioned in his videos that you cant make a town full of taverns but not sure on how the mayor of the city comes into play for how many of what structure can be present

grim breach Sep 18, 2020, 5:07 AM

#

Yes, new mayors can change the buildings in the node.

#

If the citizens doesn't like the current mayor which built useless buildings for them, the next mayor that gets elected can destroy the buildings and construct new ones.

ruby swift Sep 18, 2020, 5:10 AM

#

Conversely, elect a bad mayor and he can destroy your infrastructure.

limber canopy Sep 18, 2020, 5:10 AM

#

interesting

somber tinsel Sep 18, 2020, 5:10 AM

#

high taxes rate vs threat of destroying the building everyone need/use

#

I can see myself as a mafia boss already 🤔

digital tangle Sep 18, 2020, 5:11 AM

#

the troll potential is overwelming

ruby swift Sep 18, 2020, 5:11 AM

#

Shouldn't matter on the tax front. Node mayors can only spend taxes on node improvements. Can't raid the treasury.

limber canopy Sep 18, 2020, 5:11 AM

#

@somber tinsel i could see that happening

dawn wyvern Sep 18, 2020, 5:12 AM

#

Will there be tax avoidance as an option 🤔

wary pasture Sep 18, 2020, 5:12 AM

#

Yeah if you dont pay taxes on your home itll go back to the city

digital tangle Sep 18, 2020, 5:12 AM

#

if i work in one nodes but live in another do I have to file taxes in both nodes?

dawn wyvern Sep 18, 2020, 5:13 AM

#

So not on the home itself?

limber canopy Sep 18, 2020, 5:14 AM

#

@digital tangle taxes occur much like in real life but if you are in a different tax zone different taxes apply

#

so if one city node has higher taxes and your have a home there you are likely to pay higher rate than someone else with a node that is lower tax rate

digital tangle Sep 18, 2020, 5:15 AM

#

it would be interesting to skip over to the next node to do your stuff to pay lower taxes but live in the bigger node area

brittle ferry Sep 18, 2020, 5:16 AM

#

It's not likely, you will pay the rate of your citizenship, and you can only be a citizen of a single node at any given time

limber canopy Sep 18, 2020, 5:16 AM

#

the taxes could also occur differently depending on how they implement the other aspects for instance in the new world preview they had each region have its own governing official and their own tax rate. they haven't said it is going to go that way but it is a possibility

grim breach Sep 18, 2020, 5:18 AM

#

Mayors will set the tax rate of their nodes.

limber canopy Sep 18, 2020, 5:18 AM

#

if you think of taxes much like the united states where i'm from each state has its own tax rate for purchases and other things so there isn't a real solid answer until we get how taxes play into things

#

if you can go to a neighbor node to sell for more profit with less tax would be realistic

#

these mysteries are what makes me excited for the game it will hopefully have a fluid economy where you could send a caravan to a node with high resources and bring it back to a node with high sell point or something along those lines

grim breach Sep 18, 2020, 5:21 AM

#

"The level of the node and the distance of the node from the drop will determine the value of the certificate. Certificates redeemed from distant economic regions via the caravan system will provide higher returns (4 to 5 times greater in some cases) than certificates collected from the same region."

#

"The value of the certificates are also calculated (by the world manager algorithm) based on the volume of certificates being redeemed in each region."

digital tangle Sep 18, 2020, 5:25 AM

#

so depends on region and not citizenship

#

though that doesn't say anything about taxes

limber canopy Sep 18, 2020, 5:37 AM

#

it almost makes it sound like the further the distance the more value but i doubt its the case because if you were to go from one scientific node to another common sense would think that they would likely have similar products compared to going to a military focused node

dawn wyvern Sep 18, 2020, 5:39 AM

#

If I don't pay my taxes will it remove my home ownership automatically or will the mayor have to manually remove it

brittle ferry Sep 18, 2020, 6:03 AM

#

You will lose the house/apartment and you will have a cooldown to collect said goods that were in the home. But not the home itself, say similarly to when you lose a freehold to damage from a siege, or the raiding event after the siege.

#

A house inside a node has the ability to be upgraded with the node while it levels, but it's not something the player has "built" but rents from the node.

#

Not to say you won't have the ability (because you will) to sell the house later or put said house up for sale before it is taken back by the City/node.

So... while i love the entire double class setup and very variable ways of playing characters. isnt there any actual 'enchanter' playstyle? i dont mean the summoner/bard combo where you boost up your summons, im talking the tactical guy in the back who controls the battlefield, and only truly shines in group combat. im super excited for this game, but i hoped so badly i'd finally find a way to play that style out without being a healer or bard.
yes, i want to play shiroe, dont judge me kappa

So unless I've missed some info somewhere the game is still officially in one of the Alpha stages, and people who bought the supporter packs with Beta access do not have access to the game. This about right?

I do have a question. Will the mayor be able to banish you from said Village, City, Metropolis until the next mayor is appointed?
@neat tinsel There's no mechanics to revoke a player's citizenship. However, there is a system to add a player into the enemy of the state list. I'm not sure if you can add your own citizen into the list, or only a citizen of another node. I also do not know if you can add a player that is not a citizen of any node.

Will clothing be gender locked ?

Costumes aren't, so assume that most things will not be.

neat tinsel Sep 18, 2020, 9:52 AM

#

Will the mayor be able to name the city or will it be randomly generated?

lean marlin Sep 18, 2020, 9:54 AM

#

As far as I remember it's either chosen from a list, or auto named. Otherwise we'd have a lot of Dicktopias, amongst other things.

ruby swift Sep 18, 2020, 12:07 PM

Will clothing be gender locked ?
@honest solstice Yes, this was confirmed long ago. If you put a wedding dress on a male it will become a tuxedo and vice versa.

spice estuary Sep 18, 2020, 12:08 PM

Will you implement characters having a first and last name that are separate from one another? I think this would be great cause it allows people who like to use common names to still have there go to name as long as the last name is different. Or i could allow familys/friends that play together to have there last name the same.

ruby swift Sep 18, 2020, 12:09 PM

#

I do have a question. Will the mayor be able to banish you from said Village, City, Metropolis until the next mayor is appointed?
@neat tinsel Mayors cannot ban their own citizens, and the "enemy of the state" option increases in cost for each person added. At a certain point it will no longer be a viable option to just try and ban everyone without a good reason. It does not stop them from entering the node, just makes them KOS by node city guards.

will guards be killable or will they be invincible like in eso 😛

ruby swift Sep 18, 2020, 12:15 PM

#

We don't have a firm answer on that yet. They will be killable during a siege. And other npcs have been killable in the testing we can talk about. My first corruption was from killing a random npc who was just walking down a path minding her own business. I believe it is something they will look at during testing and how the community reacts. If people are constantly killing the town guards, expect them to get uber.

ashen jetty Sep 18, 2020, 12:23 PM

Cant be asked to search for it since the search function here is super weird sometimes, but when it comes to day and night cycles (if it exist) does it support ambient lightning so we can see shadows form and disappear as it turns to dusk and dawn or does it go even further with plans to support ray tracing?

ruby swift Sep 18, 2020, 12:25 PM

#

If you look at the latest "leaks" on their Instagram you can see examples of dynamic lighting and shadows on the aquatic mount and from the campfire since those screenshots were during a night cycle.

#

As to ray tracing they have said they are looking at it, but no final decision has been made.

#

There is a day/night cycle in Ashes of Creation. Different monsters will spawn at different times. NPCs and mobs may be awake at different times of the day. Different emissive effects may be more prevalent on night creatures.

Environments - Ashes of Creation Wiki

ashen jetty Sep 18, 2020, 12:28 PM

#

Very cool ^^ i'll have a look at it then. As it does improve the overall feeling of a game to actually change colors depending on the hours of the day. Yea that's fine, would be fun to know if it is planned to get added so we could estimate if we would need to upgrade the setups. But thats still far off.

I've tried for over 2 months to get my ashes account but no luck and they refused to contact ks to reset my key.

Done that for 2 months they refuse to contact ks to reset my key to my new email. It's been 3 years so I cant contact my bank for a refund so all I can do is ask for a refund to be issued to the card I bought it with

Got a question regarding classes. Lets say I pick tank and my friend picks fighter as our main class. Then, he picks tank as his sub and I pick fighter as my sub. We're both categorized under the same class, so will we have the exact same abilities..?

desert ivy Sep 18, 2020, 1:15 PM

#

No

#

Because your skills are attached to your primary archetype, your secondary doesn't give you new skills

#

A Tank/Fighter is different to a Fighter/Tank

ionic narwhal Sep 18, 2020, 1:17 PM

#

I thought so. On the chart, it categorizes them as the same class, basically. Just curious to see how that'll work.

desert ivy Sep 18, 2020, 1:17 PM

#

A Tank/Fighter is a Knight. A Fighter/Tank is a Dreadnought

#

Your primary archetype gives you your skills. So a Mage/Summoner and Mage/Fighter will both have the "Fireball" spell. A Summoner/Mage or Fighter/Mage will not have the fireball spell.

ionic narwhal Sep 18, 2020, 1:18 PM

#

Oh shoot yeah, I was thinking about it wrong. I'm a little stupid lol

lean marlin Sep 18, 2020, 1:19 PM

#

@ionic narwhal they aren't the same class. A tank/whatever is a tank. A figher/whatever is a dps.

Hi!

has an european player, i am interested in buying the The Heat and Harmony cosmetic addons.
i check the store and it seams intrepid is separating from my.com has a EU host

#

i already have both an account in intrpid studios and in my.com

digital yacht Sep 18, 2020, 7:21 PM

@hasty breach yea my.com is no more, the EU shop is not active atm, but if u buy a package on the NA store if can be transferred to EU when the time comes

#

^im assuming u were going to ask that?

@digital yacht I see thank you, yes your correct

i was worried i would not be able to get The Heat and Harmony cosmetic addons since the shop is unavaible, so i will just buy it in the Na account for now

It's possible if there are basic warehouses in the nodes at that point. It would make sense that stage 1 and 2 nodes have at least 1 warehouse, but I'm not sure if we have it confirmed.

wary pasture Sep 18, 2020, 9:48 PM

What I was thinking was what if as soon as someone gets in the game they start gathering or something and run out of bag room, what options are there in the first hour

We dont know yet

#

Housing isnt untill stage 3

#

Banks we dont know what stage yet

ruby swift Sep 18, 2020, 10:21 PM

#

Since level 1 and 2 nodes are basically indestructible (can't be sieged, only destroyed through atrophy) it would be possible to created "safe" storage in those areas, creating a loophole in their "sink" and "risk v reward" mechanics. Doubt you will see any sort of storage in "wilderness" nodes outside of the siege system.

So I've been curious as to how the interaction between people needing gear repaired and the crafters who can repair the gear will work. Do you have to give them your item to repair? If so, what's to stop them from taking the item and running?

Repairing can be done at player stalls that are setup in towns (possibly freeholds too). Take a look here:

About the siege summons, we need 8 summoners for one, does that mean 8 double summoners, 8 primary summoners, or 8 secondary summoners, or a mix between those? I mean do secondary summys count

#

And if the double summy can substitute 2 summoners?

lean marlin Sep 19, 2020, 9:04 AM

#

@frank scroll It's primary. So all primary summoners. you'll still need 8.

wintry monolith Sep 19, 2020, 9:11 AM

If it was not the case i guess you could have a siege wall and a siege summon with 8 player or 2 siege summon with 8 conjurer

lean marlin Sep 19, 2020, 9:13 AM

#

your party doesn't have to be just summoners, but it has to be one with a summoner as the leader with the other 7 summoners in it. You could party with 10 people, but you would still need 8/10 to be summoners.

wintry monolith Sep 19, 2020, 9:35 AM

@crystal flax when you gather ressources you will have a bar with a red spot like the one in this image. If you trigger the gathering while it on the red you have a chance to crit your gatheri g and may give you additional ressources, a rare one, or other "cooler secret things

reef osprey Sep 19, 2020, 9:37 AM

#

@wintry monolith that's severly outdated

#

@crystal flax a crit or ding in farming is mostly considered a lucky drop of rare materials, that can happen while farming

like a bit of silver ore (epic grade rarity) when you farm iron ore (common grade rarity)

crystal flax Sep 19, 2020, 9:39 AM

#

I know in general, I meant where Cat had seen it in Ashes for context

wintry monolith Sep 19, 2020, 9:42 AM

#

So if it severly outdated what the new metod?

crystal flax Sep 19, 2020, 9:44 AM

#

If I remember right in one of the recent videos, it's back to a more simple "click ore to mine" type of thing but they could work on and change that more, I just know that they moved away from the QTE type of gameplay a long time ago

ruby swift Sep 19, 2020, 9:48 AM

#

Yes, The QTE mechanic shown above was part of a PAX build. Feedback on it was less than favorable and that type of mechanic was removed. There are calculations going on in the background when you gather that have a very small chance of giving higher tier resources. The "hit E to gather" mechanic shown is also placeholder. There will be some of that style, along with other types of gathering that are not just "run up and hit E"

wintry monolith Sep 19, 2020, 9:50 AM

#

Interesting, is it still affected by crit?

ruby swift Sep 19, 2020, 9:52 AM

#

By a crit stat? No, more of an overall chance sort of thing was my understanding. Not based off of anything you are doing, server metrics. But that is just what they mentioned in the livestream. And as always, testing may have them go another way.

wintry monolith Sep 19, 2020, 9:53 AM

Ok thx

steady ocean Sep 19, 2020, 9:55 AM

Just RNG most likely, as Steven has mentioned previously. Although it's possible some guild/castle perks may affect the effectiveness of a node systems' citizens in various aspects, but that is speculation.

question, will your character have emotes of belching and farting ? thinking would be a tavern emote.. This is my second ground breaking idea, i think somebody need's to be on the pay roll 🙂

Will AoC have an auction house? Real money auction house? Maybe an AH where you can sell stuff for embers?
@dry harbor No Global AH, No Selling Ember Items for In-Game Gold, Only form of real money items are the cosmetics which are bound to u

Has there been info released on how guarding/blocking will work when you have a shield equipped? Is it real time such as in Tera (when playing Lancer) or ESO in that you manually press a right click (for example) and you hold your shield up to block? Or is it a passive stat on the shield with a % chance to block while having skills that garuntee blocking of certain incoming attacks?

@west bloom yes there are guild forming before the game is released. However I should point out that there are guilds that have been formed because of other games and want to pivot to AoC and that channel are for those such guilds as well as new AoC guilds

is there a system for caravan-ing goods directly to an NPC for raw gold/currency? (similar to archeage) Or is it entirely just moving goods to a large city for auction house / crafting purposes

unreal zealot Sep 19, 2020, 9:20 PM

#

you might be able to move large amounts of certificates from mobs in a caravan maybe? it would make sense since the further you travel form where you got it the more it;s worth

#

tho im not 100% sure

steady ocean Sep 19, 2020, 9:26 PM

#

You have to launch a personal caravan from a point of storage as it stands currently. May be possible to launch it from your freehold, go around gathering, then bring it all back to your freehold/node. Risk involved though. You can also use a mule mount as well for extra storage @royal summit

short flint Sep 19, 2020, 9:30 PM

#

@royal summit https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Currency - Currently the only thing an NPC sounds like they might be buying are hunting certificates (https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Loot_tables). In interviews, Steven has mentioned that large amounts of certificates [too heavy to carry on your person] can be transferred via caravan to another node that might buy those certificates for more.

@unreal zealot This isnt 100% true, its based on Supply and Demand for each node

#

like if u took 100 fish from Node 1 on the far NW corner down to another water node in the SE corner it wuld prob be the same price considering the supply there is high

short flint Sep 19, 2020, 9:42 PM

lament briar Sep 20, 2020, 10:26 AM

#

I'm curious about what is to stop Corrupted players from being immediately killed by their guildmate-alts-friends and have the stuff they dropped handed back to them. Or trading all of their possessions before getting killed, so they don't risk dropping it on death. Assuming they are max lvl and won't suffer from xp loss.

crystal flax Sep 20, 2020, 10:28 AM

#

You don't lose exp, you gain exp debt which starts making you less combat effective so being max level doesn't matter, and being corrupted puts death penalties at 400% so you'd really want to just avoid dying in general (fixed number thanks Warth)

lament briar Sep 20, 2020, 10:30 AM

#

I see, thanks.

reef osprey Sep 20, 2020, 10:37 AM

#

@crystal flax 400%

#

@lament briar you also get less loot while you have EXP debt.
so getting 20% (5% exp Debt * 400%), you'd pretty much gimp yourself for a long time.

Will Node/Castle Siege be instanced? How can you prevent those who are not registered to participate in a PvP event from getting in the way?

In a caravan, I can attack, defend or ignore. If I choose to "ignore", how will this work? Do you have an old game that can be used as an example? Will I not be able to attack any of the attackers or defenders?

If my Metropolis is going to be attacked next week, and I didn't register to defend it, is there a system that will prevent me from killing or dying during a siege?

reef osprey Sep 20, 2020, 5:23 PM

#

@fathom sky people that aren't signed up can't access the battlefield, yes
will it be an instance you port into? no

that's what ignore is meant to be yes, however
we don't know if you can retrigger that question though

Citizen are automatically registered as a defender

grim breach Sep 20, 2020, 5:24 PM

#

@fathom sky Neither are instanced.

fathom sky Sep 20, 2020, 5:24 PM

#

"can't access the battlefield" "Neither are instanced"

#

How will this work?

short flint Sep 20, 2020, 5:25 PM

#

#1 Not sure - I assume instanced as that'd be the only way to enforce a 250v250. Not sure how they'd enforce it outside of of that?

#2 - I assume that if you hit ignore, you do not actively engage in the moving PVP arena. One thought could be that you would be considered a non-combatant. If you attack, you could get corruption, and also probably not be able to participate in the rewards of the dropped items from the caravan. but i can't find any information on this yet.

#3 I believe this might be the same answer as #1

#

You asked questions on systems that haven't really been fully developed and/or released to the public yet. So keep that in mind that we have little information to go on.

grim breach Sep 20, 2020, 5:26 PM

#

@fathom sky No idea. It's weird, but they aren't instanced. You will be "kicked out" from the zone if you're not a participant. How you're going to be "kicked out" is not something we know. Maybe you become a ghost when you enter the zone. We don't know.

short flint Sep 20, 2020, 5:27 PM

#

Could be something similar to FPS games where you are going out of bounds of a map and it yells "Leaving arena, enter or die!" but pure speculation so far 😦

You might get more answers at the Dev video at the end of the month.

@reef osprey

Okay. But. If there is a siege between two Nodes. Will a third Node* be able to participate? How to prevent Node from participating?

reef osprey Sep 20, 2020, 5:27 PM

#

@fathom sky depends on your definition of "instance"
"instance", by definition entails, that it is possible to have multiple instances at the same time.
Which isn't the case.

#

@fathom sky everybody on the whole server can sign up as attacker or defender if they like

So ... somehow, none of the warriors will be teleported to a separate battlefield? At the same time, only those who are registered can participate. Got it. But it is still confusing.

reef osprey Sep 20, 2020, 5:31 PM

#

@fathom sky the sieges themselves will probably run a separate shard, so you can utilize the maximum server capacity for that event.
People that aren't part of that shard will probably just not be able to access the battlefield or possibily won't even see what is happening on the battlefield, as they are on another server shard

@ruby swift All the servers are going to follow the same criteria when talking about Player corruption, right? Wondering if there are going to be more PVP related servers that are less penalty based and PVE servers that do not joke around with the penalties? Or are the servers on the same page; the rules are not distributed by servers
?

My latest analogy I am working on is imagine open-world pvp as the coronavirus. It is worldwide and a very small percentage will actually die from it. But if the governments in Ashes were to shut down all pvp the economy of the servers would be wrecked and there would be all sorts of tertiary effects that would happen.

atomic imp Sep 20, 2020, 5:55 PM

Can high-end players with "political" value influence penalties? OR can someone give some pardons to corrupted titled players?

If players had some kind of influence power, in a sense, people are just going to explode that inner-circle dude. I hope the players have no power to influence penalties, but the mechanics of the game register and determine the penalties rightly.

I don't know enough, so that is why I'm asking.

steady ocean Sep 20, 2020, 5:55 PM

No, military node citizens will be able to work off corruption faster (tm), but it's a personal penalty

You can pay for protection from your guild/node/mercs, but no other player can work off the corruption or decrease it for

ruby swift Sep 20, 2020, 5:58 PM

#

The corruption system is a work in progress and it keeps getting refined. For example, two years ago there was no mention of being able to grind away corruption through normal mob killing. There was not a separate "kill count" that doesn't decrease except through a quest mechanic. All that is known is that if you choose that murderhobo life as a regular part of your gameplay, you will experience significant penalties to your play in timesinks and risk.

steady ocean Sep 20, 2020, 6:16 PM

Guild Wars 2 and ESO are thrown around a lot as having inspired AoC combat, or at a minimum being quite similar in theory.

harsh moon Sep 20, 2020, 6:27 PM

#

will there be a true way to make your goods a 100% safe in AoC? or will your stored items always be at risk because of sieges and stuff?

steady ocean Sep 20, 2020, 6:29 PM

#

raw materials and craftables (think iron bars) are always at risk whether in your inventory or in storage. Completed items, such as a fully completed weapon or piece of armor (and things like potions) are not at risk even if your node is destroyed or you get killed. This only changes if you get killed while corrupted, then you stand a chance of dropping a completed item in your inventory/on your character @harsh moon

#

That being said, things are always subject to change during testing.

harsh moon Sep 20, 2020, 6:33 PM

#

thats kind of annoying, especially if you can't play much and your materials are valuable to you. To me that's off putting.
lets say you lose 5% of the wood you gathered but instead of you losing that 5% yourself the wood is generated for the enemy to loot instead of you just losing it?

#

@steady ocean what do you think?

desert ivy Sep 20, 2020, 6:33 PM

#

No

steady ocean Sep 20, 2020, 6:34 PM

That would basically be duping items, so not going to happen. The game is designed around relying on your community for defense and offense. It's risk vs reward

harsh moon Sep 20, 2020, 6:34 PM

@steady ocean i didnt think about that

#

it just sucks losing a few hours of farming

steady ocean Sep 20, 2020, 6:35 PM

You can always try to be a member of a smaller node that is less likely to be attacked if you want to be more secure. There is still a risk, but may be less likely.

Hello all! This has probably been answered before and I'm sorry for that, but I could not find this information when searching for it. The question is if the freeholds will be freely placed down like in archeage or if there are predetermined "slots" for them on the map? I myself though it was quite annoying when people for example, where allowed to turn their buildings in corners and make it so that others couldn't fit.

@south shadow Freeholds are sizable player housing plots that can be situated within the Zone of influence (ZOI) of a Village (stage 3 node) or higher.

This includes resources and materials that are stored in Warehouses, Chests within player housing, storage containers within guild halls, or within processing buildings on freeholds."

Does this mean that you risk losing your valuables that you had stored in the node? What if a siege is declared over night while you were sleeping and well, oops, there goes the thing you had.

#

Unless I misunderstand the system.

You will have a few days to prepare. A siege does not happen immediately after declaration. A siege also happens during server prime times, so no ninja sieges.

lusty grove Sep 21, 2020, 12:30 PM

#

Do we have like a centralized bank of some sort? You know for gold storage and important stuff?

lean current Sep 21, 2020, 12:47 PM

#

No, not at all. You won't be able to access your important stuff from all over the world, you will have to travel to the storage location, e.g. a bank in a node, or your freehold.

lusty grove Sep 21, 2020, 12:49 PM

#

I see, quick question, if the node that has my storage is attacked? Would the items in it be part of the attackers loot as well?

steady ocean Sep 21, 2020, 12:49 PM

#

Storage comes in the form of warehouses in a node, or storage chests in player owned housing (freeholds/static housing/instanced apartments), as well as guild storage in guild owned castles (5 max)

#

Yes @lusty grove

grim breach Sep 21, 2020, 12:49 PM

#

"Once a siege is declared, players are prohibited from moving goods out of depositories within the node. This includes resources and materials that are stored in Warehouses, Chests within player housing, storage containers within guild halls, or within processing buildings on freeholds."

lusty grove Sep 21, 2020, 12:53 PM

#

Thanks for making things crystal clear guys.

harsh moon Sep 21, 2020, 12:54 PM

#

thats why its probably a good idea to use the resources once you get them so they arent at risk

#

or sell the resources to someone else and let them worry about storing it XD

delicate agate Sep 21, 2020, 1:12 PM

#

noticed how all descriptions avoid using the term currency, does this mean currency is under different mechanics? All I remember is that it won't take up storage space, like quest items, but no mentions about dropping any of those on death or storage, if it can be stored at all.

digital yacht Sep 21, 2020, 1:15 PM

#

U don’t drop money on sweat death

delicate agate Sep 21, 2020, 1:18 PM

#

so only stored in nodes, if that's even possible to do

digital yacht Sep 21, 2020, 1:18 PM

Spears are in the game, I don't believe we have lances. I also believe it is possible to wield a spear and shield (but not 100% sure on that one)

#

So i had a loot at the wiki and didnt find anything about cosmetic slots. Am i right to assume the cosmetic slots coincide with the armor slots? Is there infos on how cloaks will work with shoulder pads? I can see there being an issue with clipping and distortions especially with belts pads cloaks wrists gloves when there is the possibility to mix and match any kind of cosmetic

spiral pine Sep 21, 2020, 5:47 PM

#

they are making sure things dont clip

true finch Sep 21, 2020, 5:53 PM

#

hm i personally dont see how they are gonna do that. But im confident they work out a decent solution. Im asking bc i dont want to buy cosmetics that may end up locking each other out since clipping could ruin it

digital yacht Sep 21, 2020, 5:54 PM

#

Right now the cosmetics being sold are full body I believe so there wouldn’t be issues with them

true finch Sep 21, 2020, 6:01 PM

#

@digital yacht there are individual cosmetics being sold like https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Thicket's_Endowment and https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Fathomveil. Im not talking about those https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Face_of_Sorrow. I can see it being a headache to properly implement 8 assets for characters with 8 races, gender and so on each having different character models

digital yacht Sep 21, 2020, 6:06 PM

#

their on track for a normal mmo dev time being around 6 years

#

They gave way too much credit to their team in the beginning (not bad, just small) then the huge backend issue they discovered during APOC, which helped or alpha woulda just been delayed as soon as they found it when a1 came out so it woulda been the same

harsh moon Sep 21, 2020, 6:09 PM

#

This game can take another 6 years if thats what it takes - im so tired of bad mmorpgs and this is the last hope for a lot of people

woven vale Sep 21, 2020, 6:10 PM

#

6 Years IMO would lead to me losing hope, and calling this Star Citizen 2 electric boogaloo.

scenic nebula Sep 21, 2020, 6:38 PM

I appreciate their desire to make sure this game works as intended. We have played enough unfinished and unpolished games over the past decade.

dusk nova Sep 21, 2020, 6:40 PM

#

i think thats one of the disadvantages of being so transparent with your game development and having the community involved

#

if you didn't know that the game was coming out or have a lot of details about it you would care if it was delayed for 2years lol

pliant kelp Sep 21, 2020, 6:42 PM

But not being transparent and hyping up the game, then it will probably not have a good start or future.

Could someone link me to where Steven talks about never selling out Ashes? I have skeptical friends who would like to hear this. I know he's said it many times but if you know of an instance where he provides his most in-depth reasoning that would be great.

What do you mean by selling out? Providing P2W mechanics, staying true to the core concept, using other investors/publishers, other stuff?

hidden urchin Sep 21, 2020, 8:35 PM

Not selling Intrepid or more than 50% to another company, which would take away creative control.

#

Ah ok.

short flint Sep 22, 2020, 3:53 PM

#

Do we know if Rare Spawns in the world that are available due to node progression are set spawns/static spawns or share a spawn chance with normal mobs but at a much lower rate?
Example 1: Bandit Leader spawns in Bandit camp every 18-24 hours after being killed.
Example 2: Bandit Leader has a .01% chance to spawn at the Bandit camp when a Bandit Lieutenant has been slain and is forced to respawn.

Also, I know legendary bosses can drop legendary loot and/or recipes/crafting reagents. Does this apply to rare spawns too. Using above Example, say the Bandit Leader spawns with a unique skin and/or more powerful sword. Would that sword option be available as a crafting recipe drop and/or drop or is that reserved for the big bosses only?

sullen bay Sep 22, 2020, 3:59 PM

Will players be able to create some kind of temporary shelter out in the open world sort of like a hunting camp while they are out farming materials or fighting mobs?

#

Wait really jahlon? Wtf I want my 1000$ back 😂

short flint Sep 22, 2020, 4:01 PM

I wasn't actually looking for boss drops and the quality of the boss drops. I was using them as a framing reference. More interested if loot drops of rare spawns had been discussed. But I know I am most likely asking questions of features not implemented yet as it is still early in development.

sullen bay Sep 22, 2020, 4:01 PM

New world and ashes are totally separate games, ashes requires crafting stations and stuff new world has a fire that u drop for some currency to craft basic tools and weapons ashes will be nothing like new world

short flint Sep 22, 2020, 4:06 PM

#

New World has crafting stations as well - just a correction there. The Mayor of the city has to upgrade those as well. (although every city has every crafting station, just the levels can vary)

sullen bay Sep 22, 2020, 4:07 PM

#

I understand I was just curious if it had some sort of mechanic like that

true finch Sep 22, 2020, 4:07 PM

#

So temporary bases such as campfires are not necessary a survival game thing. Many old school mmos had similar stuff and pantheon also has those. Depends how its implemented in the game. But yes ashes doesnt have them from the infos we have now and they dont make a lot of sense with their game design

short flint Sep 22, 2020, 4:09 PM

#

If you want to discuss this further and throw out ideas, i'd recommend #aoc-discussion @sullen bay - One cool thing could be - taverns give huge AOE buffs when farming near the freehold that has that tavern. a campfire could be a small personal AOE buff if you were to use that to cook/eat a meal at the campfire but it would slightly better than "raw" food and much worse than a tavern. I think that is something that he might be looking at as an option.

grim surge Sep 22, 2020, 8:35 PM

#

there will be further testing though, since they're planning on using APOC to test castle sieges

@glacial walrus "Immersion" was our topic for our recent Dev Discussion on the forums, and even though we're gathering up your feedback now, you're welcome to continue to share more! Our monthly development live streams typically mention our recent/upcoming topics just to give you a heads up, but other than that they focus on what our team is currently working on, not necessarily related to that topic 😄

@plucky pawn i see... so the discussion on the forums was more of a “let’s gather info from our community with regards to immersion” more than it was a “here’s what we’re working on in relation to the aspects of immersion we’ve established for our players”. is that correct?

@minor condor Yeeaaaaah, thought I might have gotten that wrong :p

Exactly @glacial walrus ! Here's how we describe these topics on the forums for ya:

"Dev Discussion topics are kind of like a "reverse Q&A" - rather than you asking us questions about Ashes of Creation, we want to ask YOU what your thoughts are.

Our design team has compiled a list of burning questions we'd love to get your feedback on regarding gameplay, your past MMO experiences, and more. Join in on the Dev Discussion and share what makes gaming special to you!"

My pleasure! I'm reading through all your immersion makers/immersion breakers right now and really enjoying the feedback y'all provided this time 😄

I had one guy agree with my post so that was good enough for me.

#

At least one person read my rambling

drifting path Sep 22, 2020, 10:51 PM

Not sure if this has been asked and answered already so Srry if it has but I have an alpha 2 key and I read today that someone from the game made a post somewhere bout alpha 1 keys being sold again . Is this true ?

true finch Sep 22, 2020, 10:52 PM

#

there is the possibility intrepid might sell them again if they deem it necessary and feasible for the alpha 1 phase

#

but this will be far after the alpha 1 was initiated

digital yacht Sep 22, 2020, 10:53 PM

#

I’m going to assume ur going to ask a follow up in regards of upgrading to A1, yes that will be possible @drifting path

drifting path Sep 22, 2020, 10:54 PM

#

Ty ..........and you were right lol Srry , any word on when that would be possible to upgrade to ?

digital yacht Sep 22, 2020, 10:54 PM

#

Not until they are confirmed to be sold Again

Are summoners summons stats reflective of the summoners? For example if i want my summon to be strong do i have to be strong?

#

have they talked at all about Mule mechanics yet?

#

as in, you spawn the mule out of your bag out in the forest, put all your gathered materials into the mule

#

are you then able to de-summon it, or do you have to let it follow you around because there are items in the inventory

late wagon Sep 23, 2020, 12:40 AM

#

Are we going to see npc citizens/kids?

hard turtle Sep 23, 2020, 12:43 AM

#

@late wagon Yes to the citizens. Don't know about kids.

late wagon Sep 23, 2020, 12:45 AM

#

Cool thanks

crisp holly Sep 23, 2020, 12:49 AM

@zenith heron We do not really know much about summoners but the answer to that question is no. You will be able to summon different mobs to control(tank, support, dps, maybe more) and depending on the way you go for skills, weapon(s), and second archetype. You might only have one out at a time or might be able to have 2-3(maybe more but that sounds unlikely from what we have been told)

@royal summit https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Mules
The mule will likely need to stay around when loaded with stuff and I believe be 'killed' to drop some of what it is holding. It will drop some of what it is carrying when you die though

With someone who will be in Alpha One, which is said to be up and running 2020 Q3, does this mean it'll be out by October 1st? or was there some delay i missed?

grim breach Sep 23, 2020, 7:31 AM

It's in Fall 2020.

#

When in Fall 2020? No one knows, but we're expecting it to be at the end of Fall 2020. Which is December 21, 2020.

icy relic Sep 23, 2020, 7:32 AM

#

agreed

grim breach Sep 23, 2020, 7:33 AM

#

Also, Steven has said that NDA for A1 will drop at the end of Fall. That's another indicator, since A1 will not have NDA.

frank hound Sep 23, 2020, 9:36 AM

So, i know that alpha 1 has a sever cap of 10,000 players i was wondering if alpha 2 and the betas has a similar player cap. Also i was wondering if alpha 1 has been released yet.

crystal beacon Sep 23, 2020, 10:01 AM

#

Sorry, this prolly been asked 1000 times. If i bought the cheapest package for game. And thrn decided i wanted to upgrade packages to the most expensive. Would i be charged for both or would it just upgrade at the cost dofference?

full badger Sep 23, 2020, 10:01 AM

#

@crystal beacon You'd only be charged the difference to upgrade

full badger Sep 23, 2020, 10:02 AM

frank hound Sep 23, 2020, 10:07 AM

#

what about my question?

full badger Sep 23, 2020, 10:09 AM

#

@frank hound Sorry, only just saw your question. The server cap they are looking for across the board is 8,000-10,000 concurrent players so it really comes down to how many different servers they are going to put up for the testing phases. We don't have an answer for that right now, sorry.

frank hound Sep 23, 2020, 10:11 AM

#

has alpha 1 been released yet?

full badger Sep 23, 2020, 10:11 AM

#

Not yet

lament timber Sep 23, 2020, 10:13 AM

#

will ashes feature a ranked arena pvp system where solo players or a group can compete for ranking and renown?

#

maybe as a military node feature or something?

full badger Sep 23, 2020, 10:14 AM

#

Yes there will be instanced arena PvP.
