@short flint thanks

Can someone tell me if the Headstart is true? How much it cost ? And why they do this? i dont like it at all...
onyx knoll
Headstart is no longer available for sale, it was a perk from a high backer tier from kickstarter. It is a 2 day headstart, and only on specific servers, with a lot of things disabled like the nodes won't grow for those two days etc. If you don't like the fact that some people will have a 2 day advantage over you, you can simply pick a non-headstart server 🙂
Steven explained his reasoning for headstart servers here;

When is the game coming out? And from where will i be able to get it? (steam?)
onyx knoll
We currently don't have a release date beyond "when it's ready", it'll have its own launcher which will be available on their website when the time comes, and won't be on steam
The community estimate is 2-3 years, but that's just guessworks

How do players sell things if they don't have a shop and there is no grand exchange
desert ivy
Go to an economic node and sell in the auction house or advertise your wares in chat
ashen orchid
The sell their goods on the corner. The way every honest business person does it. Right?
silver mulch
What I just heard:
Spam in chat in the most popular tavern
arctic sky
Also you can fill orders on the tavern bulletin
ashen orchid
And after you have established yourself some you are likely to have some repeat customers.
Community building 🙂
arctic sky
Basically how it was done back in the day
frank hound
also if you want to set up a stall within the node you must have some sort of license from that node. @silver mulch
i actually think it applies outside the node as well. depending on how close you set up
real sleet
@arctic sky you cannot sell items via the bulletin system. The bulletin lets you browse what is on sale in the area, but you cannot put stuff on the board neither sell it.
arctic sky
No you message the person saying hey I got this
real sleet
@frank hound stalls can only be set up around the Market or a marketplace and you need citizenship to set it up. So no stalls outside the node.
Shops on the other hand can be set up farther out, but their inventory will not be listed. So you would need to make a name for yourself beforehand.
Ah, sorry, I thought you referred to the board.
arctic sky
The game I played actually had a chat bubble appear above your head and you just said what you were buying\selling and would have people jump in to trade

does anybody know yet if the game will allow ships to transport cargo from one coastal city to another?

Yes there will be naval caravans

@hidden urchin also be wary as they are still caravans and can be attacked and looted by other players

so does that effectively mean there will be overseas piracy? i can't help but think that's the logical outcome of having the mechanic of ship cargo transportation

Considering the game is all about Risk vs Reward. What risk do Bounty hunters have when bounty hunting. It seems to me they could empty out their inventories and therefore have a chance at gaining high tier equipment for no risk. What are your plans to counter this?
spiral pine
dying is a risk
digital yacht
U take experience depreciation on death,
Or would it be better to say u Accrue negative exp on death either way same shit different wording lol
steady ocean
Experience debt
desert ivy
The point of Bounty Hunting is that you're hunting corrupted players. Corruption is supposed to have barely any upsides since it's meant to be a negative thing that isn't encouraged. There aren't any plans to make Bounty Hunters more at risk because then that'd be incentivising Corruption in a way which Intrepid don't want.
digital yacht
How so? It’s literally the plan bounty hunters will have little risk except dying
digital yacht
I mean getting xp debt is still a big risk
buoyant fable
true
arctic sky
@pure bough also corrupted players don't have a stat reduction against bounty hunters iirc
pale aspen
Wouldn't the corruption in this planned form always encourage people to NOT fight back if they know they can't win or have many valuable things on them?
If people are getting "forced" into corruption, which comes with so many downsides, because nobody wants to pvp. That would be a really bad thing :(
digital yacht
U aren’t forced into corruption
If u fight back u lose less resources when u die
If u are attacked and don’t fight back the person gets corrupted but u lose a little more resources
U only get corrupted if u kill someone and they don’t fight back
pale aspen
I'm not sure if those "little more" are insentive enough for some people. I guess we'll have to see
desert ivy
I'm confused at what you mean by people getting forced into corruption. You can't be forced into corruption.
digital yacht
Why wouldn’t u fight back? U less the person attacking was much higher level therefore u don’t fight back and they get a lot more corruption, they are doing it this way so u will fight back, u should always tbh what if u kill them cuz they suck now u get their resources
pale aspen
Yes ofc you should always fight back. I'm just talking out of experience from openworld pvp that there is a lot of people who apparantly "hate pvp" and sometimes just don't want to fight you, no matter what. And the corruption system would thereby reward that behaviour.
That's all what my concern about it would be, if corruption will really bring actual debuffs with it
digital yacht
It does, being corrupted u take a stat debuff, more corruption less stats (correct me if I’m wrong someone) its been awhile
pale aspen
Just something that should be kept in mind by the devs. Maybe should be open for changes on demand post-launch if needed.
ashen orchid
I mean I wouldn't fight back if: they jump me in an extremely unfavorable situation to me. If the odds to win are slim enough, I'd rather give them some corruption and work off that xp debt than fight an obvious loss.
pale aspen
Exactly :D
That should not be possible or at least not encouraged
desert ivy
You also lose more gatherables if you're a non-combatant, thus fighting back does have the advantage of losing less stuff if you die.
digital yacht
I’m not fully understanding what u are trying to say Duke? U just want no open world pvp then?
If people don’t like pvp this isn’t the game for them, or they need to hire ppl to protect them or stay inside their towns this game is designed around open world pvp
pale aspen
@digital yacht Nono, the opposite. Well I don't "want" anything. I'm just telling my concerns about the system being open to abuse like that
I love pvp
ashen orchid
@desert ivy Sure, definitely more downsides for dying a non-combatant, but I can farm more up if I need. People picking fights that extremely favor their side are worth the extra hassle to give them a little corruption to work off.
digital yacht
There is nothing that can be abused in this open world pvp system it protects both sides pretty evenly. If u die without fighting u lose some extra stuff, they gain corruption and lose some stats.
If u fight back u lose less resources and xp debt, and who knows maybe u kill them instead
It’s all scenario based no abuse
buoyant fable

Which bdo's is insanely complex
hidden urchin
does anyboyd know what will be the incentive for people to defend caravans? i know pirating a caravan will mean you can steal from it but why defend it?
digital yacht
@hidden urchin it could be your guides resources, ur nodes resources, their might be a monetary value from the “quest” to defend or attack idk if we have an exact quote on what u actually get for defending
Or cuz ur a nice guy
hidden urchin
ok
digital yacht
Meh if u are willing to protect ppls caravans that can lead into more money cuz ppl trust u, they will start offering u money to keep defending
lament timber
How likely do you think gold selling and rare resource selling will be and have they discussed ways to counter act that? In classic wow even though there isn't "pay to win" you can easily buy gold or accounts 3rd party to give you a huge advantage despite it not being a core feature of the game.
digital yacht
They will have extensive back end systems and active gms to track large amounts of gold being traded, and unusually large amounts of certain items being transferred between characters
tulip hatch
On top of said systems both buyers and sellers will be banned
digital yacht
The active GMs will be there to stop the spamming of go here to buy gold
So u prob won’t see much, and if u do most likely have an ingame report feature and a gm can tp and investigate
lament timber
Thanks guys ❤️ gives me a lot of hope
hard imp
How do active gm's see what people are trading to prevent those transactions?
Cuz thats what other games like ffxiv say and there's tons of online sales
Interesting. Ya, all I know is that there's tons of gil/accounts for FF online.
Perhaps there's just 3 bots for each 1 that gets banned.
If AoC ends up being as big as I hope and believe it will, then fingers crossed they don't get swamped by the same issue plaguing SE.
lament timber
I think to an extent it is impossible to keep it totally out of the game but I am confident if they have already taken as many measures as they have they will actively combat it, which is all you can ask of a dev.
hard imp
Indeed
digital yacht
O yea it’ll be there no doubt but it’s a lose for both parties when it can be tracked actively the buyer might get the items but then gets a ban within a day, not many will buy gold if it’s that extensive
lament timber
IE you can buy gold from a buddy that can play 20 hrs a day and farm and trade him something of lesser value several times it will look a lot less fishy than two players that never interact trade nothing for "exotic tier dragon scale x15, exotic tier dragon fang x3, Heart of the mountain" or whatever

short flint
Question regarding: https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Stat_growth (might be tied to A1 testers who experienced this already. Yes, i know this can easily change come this weekend let alone at launch)
We know that Race will seed the base states and primary Archetype determines stat growth
Do we know if the Archetype just adds a flat number to the character's base states with each level increase or is it a percentage growth?
[all numbers are examples for framing purposes - Not released information]
Fighter Stat Growth number:
Flat number growth: +2 Power and +0 mentality
Percentage growth: +20% Power and +0% mentality
| Stat | Vek | Dunir |
|---|---|---|
| Power | 20 | 15 |
| Dexterity | 10 | 5 |
| Constitution | 15 | 20 |
| Will | 15 | 10 |
| Wisdom | 10 | 15 |
| Mentality | 5 | 10 |
So in the example above using the above starting stats and fighter numbers.
flat number growth means Vek = 22 and Dunir = 17 Power and Vek = 5 and Dunir = 10 Mentality after one level up.
percentage number growth means Vek = 24 and Dunir = 18 Power and Vek = 5 and Dunir = 10 Menatlity after one level up.
reef osprey
@short flint you are talking about 20% from the base value per level?
short flint
Base value and/or current value.
reef osprey
certainly not current value, that would go ridiculous very quickly
crisp holly
@short flint We don't know anything about that right now and I do not think that has been mentioned by the devs as they will all be up in the air until they start actually balancing things in A2 or B1/B2
reef osprey
and what form you write it in %/fixed value doesn't matter if we talk about base value
short flint
Small numbers are easy to manage and can prevent ballooning. I do agree base value would make the most sense and easiest to balance game play wise. but more focused on the gains, not necessarily starting points.
reef osprey
doesn't matter whether they call it +2 or +10% for power, the result would still be +2
short flint
I can hit you up on that discussion (don't want to flood this channel with a discussion), but that is incorrect, all depends on the percentage/flat growth numbers.
reef osprey
nah it doesn't. If it effectively grows by 2 it doesn't matter whether you say its +2 or +10%
feel free to hit me up in aoc discussion
pure bough
sorry for late reply. so it does seem to me that their isn't balanced risk vs reward for playing a bounty hunter. people keep mentioning exp debt but that wouldn't matter at max level. If you kill a corrupted player you get Top Tier Items, the gold from the bounty and your not taking enough risk in my opinion. Seems like this doesn't incentives pvp at all imo or fit in with the design philosophy of the game. bounty hunters should take some more risk seeing as they get some of the highest rewards in the game. i hope i get a dev answer on this topic because its really bothering me and i run a large community of players that also share this problem since we have the same problem in the other game we play. (i.e bounty hunters could team up wearing very cheap gear with nothing in their inventories to take down corrupted players hence almost 0 risk)
desert ivy
EXP debt does matter at max level though? 
meager dragon
I don't think BHs need risk because they are part of the punishment. They are killing people who have ruined other people's fun. It's not like caravan guarding or seiges where all participants are willing. Corrupted players are red because they have killed players who didn't want to pvp.
brittle ferry
And skill deterioration matters*
desert ivy
If you're planning to play Ashes as a corrupted player you're gonna have a bad time in all honesty
It's not going to be a viable play style
brittle ferry
At least a huge potential for bad times
@pure bough don't expect a reply here from the Devs, they're hard at work on Pre Alpha and trying to get Alpha up.
You're also not considering the rewards available from the Node you take the mission/BH Quest from.
pure bough
still 0 risk for bounty hunting with the most gain
any other system that rewards full items & gold that easily?
desert ivy
I don't think you understand the purpose of corruption
meager dragon
The risk/reward ratio needs tro be present in things like caravans, where all participants are going in to have fun. But by definition, corrupted players, the prey of BHs, went in deliberately ignoring the fun of their victims. So why should the BHs going after them require the same risk/reward mechanic?
desert ivy
Actually, you seem to not understand quite a few of the mechanics
you should read the wiki
pure bough
i'm not asking for the same risk/vs reward mechanics just for the bounty hunter system to fit in with the design philosophy of some kind of risk.
desert ivy
The risk is they can die
pure bough
seems like to me everyone would want to be a bounty hunter but no one would ever want to go corrupted
desert ivy
Again, you don't seem to understand the point of corruption
brittle ferry
While the debate can rage, In all honestly the things are going to change, not even testing Alpha 1 yet 🤷 this is an endless debate.
pure bough
we have the same problem in another game i play and it ruins alot of fun for our community. people can just empty their invintorys and attack players with good gear taking 0 risk with high potential rewards.
i just hope the devs are aware of this potential problem thats all 😉
i understand corruption is a punishment but still BH system should fit in with the rest of the games philosophy or everyone will just want to do it.
short flint
You might want to move this to #aoc-discussion it's moved into a nice health discussion 🙂 I'll provide my feedback to this discussion here.
pure bough
well i didn't want a discussion i wanted an answer to a question but yeah your right. Thanks Threather. imo people shouldn't try to give half answers in this channel but yeah 😛 it just floods the channel with unnecessary debate and the original question is now lost.
tribal wharf
im down for corruption dropping full items, but getting weaker kinda is pretty counter intuitive
spiral fiber
@pure bough by emptying inventory do you mean consumables or legit emptying all armor and weapons and legit being a one shot to high level players
tribal wharf
i think, if you are a good player well organized, even being a scumbag you should still have a even chance
pale aspen
@tribal wharf Agreed
woven vale
@tribal wharf Only problem is players will attack lowbies with shite gear, so they don't have to worry about the loss, level will allow easy victory.
spiral fiber
But as a high level what reward is their for killing low levels ?
Corruptions is not worth it
desert ivy
Corrupted players can fight Bounty Hunters at full strength, it's just that they're weaker to everyone else
woven vale
@spiral fiber Idiots love to get a hard on for doing it? I dunno, I just know it happens.
spiral fiber
Well of course
tribal wharf
everyone else you mean non combatant players
spiral fiber
But those people that do that will get fucked so I imagine it wouldn’t be as commonplace as it is in other games
tribal wharf
regardless, i already know what to do with corruption, as i do plan on having a huge corrupt guild
my idea is just that, we switch around whos killing
woven vale
Please move this to #aoc-discussion folks.
tribal wharf
and the corruption never stacks high
lament timber
I am really hoping for some abilities or Boss mechanics with deep impact associated with them. IE a tail whip from a dragon sends everyone it hits flying or a fighter using a big cooldown for a powerful swing knocks people back or something. Any word of these types of abilities?
steady ocean
Bosses will have mechanics for sure, and possibly phases. We have no real specifics though. We've seen one of the early dragon bosses have a tail swipe + dragon breath, but their effects on characters may have been basic in the vid to keep it a mystery.
lament timber
and I am sure in pre alpha it isn't going to be a 10th of the polish and product of what we will get on release. I just hope it extends to certain long cooldown abilities for players. I love the impactful feel of games that utilize those types of mechanics.
languid ember
If you're planning to play Ashes as a corrupted player you're gonna have a bad time in all honesty
@desert ivy I wonder if there is a cooldown for corruption.
digital yacht
@languid ember what u mean by CD? when u are corrupted u have to work it off, there isnt a timer for it, If u just killed a low level and gain say 100 corruption points then jkust worked it all off, went back and did it again u will have corruption
languid ember
very true, very true. So corruption is more of a penalty for killing others... is there less corruption killing players your own level?
steady ocean
Yes @languid ember And specifically, corruption is killing players that did not flag to fight back. There are lots of PVP systems where you can kill players without gaining corruption.
languid ember
I see. thank you

@old spear

NDA need to be signed if you are going to be in any Pre Alpha 1 testing as they want a legally binding contract that you wont leak things before they are ready for the public to know if at all
graceful bane
is there any way to get into these signing contracts etc?
full badger
If you do anything that is under an NDA you will be sent a copy of the contract to sign. If you haven't been sent anything then you don't need to worry about it
As a side note, having an NDA for early testing phases is standard practice to protect industry secrets and manage public relations of the game

i havent bought anything yet

buying the one for 75 and buy for example the mount afterwards sow i dont have to buy the one for 150
dont have that much money >~>
or can i only get the mount if i buy the pack for 150?
ehh
250
sorry
hidden crane
So since you're planning on buying the 75$ pack (Wayfarer) you will be able to purchase current and future cosmetics of the same 'wayfarer' tier and below.
You will not be able to purchase a cosmetic of a tier higher

TL;DR 250$ for the mount

vital plume
Aprox how long do we have to wait for the game release? I know we’re still far off, just curious and excited ☺️
short flint
That varies @vital plume . Some think it'll be Q2 2022, some say early 2023. However, we have no official estimation from Intrepid and we most likely will not get one until it is much closer to the launch date. Keeping track of what testing phase the game is at can give you an idea of how close we are to launch. Alpha-1 with No-NDA is to launch before the end of this year. Alpha 2, Beta 1 and Beta 2 are unannounced as well and will come before game launch.
vital plume
Thanks alot for the quick answer @short flint im hoping it’ll come sooner than later.. the game looks like one of the best mmos ever made, and all the features in it seems like a perfect way to play( my personal opinion ) no instant max levels like in most of the big mmos 😂

Does anybody know with the profesions. can you master one from each type eg gathering, processing, crafting or can you master 1 period.

@sullen relic You can only master 1 profession path, but you might be able to master multiple things in that singular path. E.g. if you choose to master "Gathering" you might be able to become a master in Fishing and Tanning but not the rest (or you could master more.)

That's the low side. It could be 33~ days of 8 hours a day
14 hours a day is something like 11-20 days of playing. Any time spent crafting or dying and having to make up that lost xp will increase that time though

That was for the Battle royale: Apocalypse in 2019 I believe.

Yes a lot of people have been asking about those same date/time groups that someone thought would be funny to send out as 2020 dates for whatever reason. Sorry for the confusion!
tribal wharf
is it confirmed if restaurants are the only way to get the best food, or you can cook them from your guild, it would be pretty dope to need to go to restaurants to buy the best food in your city, and would build a hub scenario like DnD stuff
steady ocean
If you are a master cook you can cook the best food. You can sell that food in inns/taverns in a node/at a guild/on a freehold tavern
woven niche
Legit so much awesome work going into this game.
lusty kite
You could even be a traveling master cook and sell your great foods from node to node. And if you were pk'd you would not drop the foods
woven niche
More than I've seen with most games tbh

It's nice that the only disappointment I feel so far with AoC is that it's not yet here, anyone else the same?

It gets better. After a few years you won't even notice anymore.

Hi I would like to ask something.
vale locust
We at your disposal
naive citrus
I'm from SA and plan to stay on the NA server. But lets say the internet ping turn out to be too high and in the future they release a SA server. I would be able to transfer the rest of the months subbed for the other server?
vale locust
Idk.. I would guess no due to regional pricing but that's a customer support question maybe
naive citrus
Hmm... So I should contact through the support from ashes site?
vale locust
You can, it may take some time but they would have the answer more likely than the rest of us. I believe there was a command for that. Let's see here.

Is alpha 1 gonna be NDA'd, like are we gonna see people streaming it or naw
ripe dawn
Does anyone have a idea of what the best class and secondary class would be for a blacksmith? Something that could help me get materials or smt.
I was thinking full rouge for the treasure hunting bonus, but any other thoughts?
chrome vine
Alpha 1 does not have an NDA@tulip grove
long spire
@ripe dawn afaik crafting is supposed to be unrelated to your classes. So you should have no class with an advantage
tulip grove

chrome vine
People will be able to stream it
full badger
Crafting professions are separate from combat classes @ripe dawn
long spire
https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Release_schedule @tulip grove
tulip grove
Ty
ripe dawn
Yes I understand that however, there wouldn’t be any kind of passive from a combat class that could help with crafting professions?
Or could be usefull to them in ANY way shape or form?
chrome vine
That was just the projected release schedule and is subject to changes I believe
ripe dawn
Thanks though.
long spire
the only thing that would come to my mind would be the class with the highest mobility might be the best gatherer
ripe dawn
You can’t be a crafter and gatherer at the same time
chrome vine
@ripe dawn it's still far too early to know what class combos will be the best for each profession
desert ivy
You can be both at the same time, you just can't master both
ripe dawn
You start with 3 points, 1 point per gathering profession, 2 per refining, and 3 for crafting. So you won’t be able to do both
ripe dawn
You will only be able to go all in with crafting
long spire
how would classes impact your ability to craft?
ripe dawn
Idk man, that’s what I heard
chrome vine
I'm assuming he means similar to druids basically being go to herbalists in wow and shit
ripe dawn
Anyway my question is too early to answer, thanks though.
long spire
thats because the classes/races have inherent explicit buffs for different "jobs"
since they are unknown (and as far as i understand it) are not supposed to exist we cant tell
chrome vine
Yeah, so like I said, still far too early to know
ripe dawn
That's not how it works
@desert ivy go to the asmongold interview, they talk about how you start with 3 points, and you can only spend 3, every gathering profession costs 1, every refining proffesion costs 2, and every crafting costs 3, so you can only go all in with crafting
chrome vine
@ripe dawn keep in mind that it's not even in alpha 1 right now, so everything is subject to change, even that system mentioned in the asmongold interview could be restructured
desert ivy
Wasn't the Asmon interview the one where he was driving at the same time? There were multiple points in that interview where he said something that was incorrect that he had to reclarify later
full badger
Regardless it's a moot point and outside the scope of this channel
true finch
Is someone that has 2 accounts able to transfer goods freely between them?
tulip hatch
the majority of in game items will not be bound so yes
worn wagon
You can transfer goods between your alts through warehouses if these goods don't rely on the carawan system
true finch
So i read something about intrepid tracking transaction between account to prevent rmt. Won´t that collide with transfering stuff freely between alts?
tulip hatch
account items are bound
in game earned items are not
dusk nova
most games track that stuff and have triggers when high volumes are being transferred between accounts
true finch
that question popped into my head watching a stream of yours on yt @simple ether lol

There will likely be an auto-run function to just run in a straight line, but no auto-pathing to objectives like you see in BDO

There's also no "teleporting", the intent is the world should feel big, and local areas should feel meaningful
round cargo
Are the nodes going to have preselected types? As in node number 1 will be economic, 2 scientific, etc. or will players be able to choose the node type?
true finch
They are preselected. You will have hints early on, in which kind of node it´s gonna develop into E.G. there is a market stall at a eco node at stage 1
celest depot
You can recognize them by npc's too right?
round cargo
Thanks

Ye npc and other stuff
full badger
The node specific NPCs show up at level 1 @celest depot
carmine estuary
Will the preselected node types vary from server to server?
dark jungle
no they are the same on every server
rain spade
I believe the plan is the map is the same for everyone, so the idea is things develop differently within the uniform map
I suspect that having different maps for different servers for the purposes of obfuscating information is one of those high effort low reward things on their end
carmine estuary
ok thx - the different development of the nodes from server to server is a cool feature - so if someone later have a restart on a fresh server it should be diffrent - this is a really interessting idea - i really hope this come that way

the preorder packs the cosmetics in them will they be available after or will they be locked forever?
rigid rose
@iron spade the cosmetics currently are exclusive to the period they are sold in the store... so ya will not be coming back later.
iron spade
so if i preorder now but i see a cooler pack later its too bad?
crisp dawn
you can keep buying cosmetics
hidden crane
You can buy the additional cosmetics as add-ons later in the future
rigid rose
You can buy cosmetics Individualy after purchasing a pack 🙂
iron spade
so i just add more cosmetic i cant like "swap" :?
iron spade
ty
dusk nova
They have said that similar items will be in the game, just not that exact cosmetic that you can buy in the shop
iron spade
uhm is there a way too see how the stuff looks in game cuz i cant find it?
crystal flax
There's no in game renders for current shop items, but they've been getting better about getting them out more quickly
celest depot
Most cosmetics are just the concept art. You can find a few that have been translated into actual models somewhere
brittle ferry
Not much has been released as actual in game skins
The best concept to in game as an idea is the "Shell of the Ancients" IMO if you'd like an example
celest depot
https://nl.ashesofcreation.wiki/Tidebreaker
This is one that has been modelled. You can use that as reference of how stuff will look in the game maybe?
With a bit of creativity
They usually translate quite well from the concept art

You can't yet
But for the embers, if you go off the store prices atm, you could maybe make a guess that for example a costume cosmetic is worth $25, which is 2500 embers. No idea if that's what it will be priced in game but that's the best guess we can make atm
digital yacht
that will be availabe starting some1 time A1
pulsar sonnet
We know that unlock of content is linked to node development, what if a raid is opened north west of the map, and you are settled south east, do you have to travel 3-4 hours there or will there be multiple copies of the same raid around the world, that if the same node type is same stage of dev?
digital yacht
from what we know you will have to travel
steady ocean
@pulsar sonnet Steven has said it will take around 2.5 hours to travel the entire map walking. So even going from 1 side of a continent to another won't be terrible, especially with mounts. But the world is supposed to feel large.
pulsar sonnet
That level 10 dungeon they showed us I mean you won’t travel hours to go and experience it
steady ocean
Nothing stopping someone from doing so 🤷
pulsar sonnet
My point is that it feels like it may be difficult to experience everything
digital yacht
There will be more than 1 dungeon they may not be identical there might be multiple dungeons that give the same items needed so i dont think u need to do every single one\
steady ocean
You won't be able to
pulsar sonnet
Nodes changing, content changing at being there at the right time for any given content
steady ocean
Yep
true finch
@pulsar sonnet you are not supposed to experience / raid everything. That creates interdepencies and trade between guilds. You will need to get to know the guilds that are raiding for certain mats and trade the stuff that you can produce in your area and specialized in.
pulsar sonnet
Ok i did not see it this way, is that a good thing to miss out on great content/raid, since I am more focused on pve
unborn yacht
what's the latest news with AOC ?
steady ocean
Next dev stream is Sept 30th, Wednesday
unborn yacht
what are they showcasing ?
crystal beacon
@pulsar sonnet I doubt you'll miss content, since there's open world pvp/raiding and pvp will happen naturally. But no one stops you from being a pure pve player. There's plenty to do for every type of player.
pulsar sonnet
Looking at the work they are putting in the design of dungeons and 100+ nodes I thought they were going to duplicate dungeons
steady ocean
They may @pulsar sonnet We don't know. There are a lot of factors that determine what dungeons/raids spawn and where. You can ask in #aoc-discussion if people think there will be or not and discuss the point, but we don't have a definitive answer here
unborn yacht
what's the time frame for release?

Alpha 1 in late fall/end of the year is all we know.

No official timeline, best community estimate is 2-3+ years

grizzled latch
@light blade so far nothing but level requirements have been set/hinted at for gear. Everyone is supposed to beable to use all the types of gear, the difference armor wise being cloth has more "magic" resistance and plate has more melee resistance. Not sure on this but I think medium would have less armor than plate but improve dodge chance, maybe have a chance to dodge spells? Just speculation on my part there, nothing to back it up.
marsh oyster
Heyo! I signed up on the website via a referral link from a friend and I have little to no idea what this game is. What I do know is I've got a fun Guild name brewing and was wondering how do I go about securing it?
ruby swift
There will be a period of time later down the line where guild names will be chosen and reserved. Since it was a paid perk at a certain tier of Kickstarter packages, you can imagine there will be a cost associated if they open it up to the masses.
marsh oyster
Ah fair. Whelp still holding on to the name an its reserves so that it doesn't get released into the wild and someone else takes it.

Hey Guys, sorry if this gets asked a lot but I did try to search for the answer before asking.
So I've lost access to my old account (Off like, last year I believe) and have given up trying to get it back (hazards of moving homes and my PC dying I guess) and was wondering if there is ever going to be the opportunity to purchase the older pre order packs again?
I'm tempted to buy back in (on a new account of course) for the current $375 package, however, I much prefer the old "DARK ALLEGIANCES" Package that was available earlier this year. Do you know if it will ever be available again? (well, the cosmetics in it) As an aspiring Ashes of Creation Necromancer, I feel that pack is just made for my character.
ruby swift
Nope, the pre-order packs are one and done. However if you know the email address you used to sign up, your account is probably recoverable.
noble flame
I'll keep trying, I lost access to pretty much most of the places where I save Emails/passwords when my PC blew up, mid move. So it may still be possible, I just thought I'd ask anyway.
Thanks for the quick response
steady ocean
@noble flame You can try removing your hard drive and putting it into a different computer if the HD is still intact. May give you access to your older stuff, or take it to a computer tech to extract the data if you think it is worth it
Or just recover your email username/password 🤷
noble flame
Yeah I'll try that out if needed, the issue is I end up having something like 10+ emails for Work, University, Gaming etc and am trying to work my way though things. I'll attempt a HD Recovery service at some point, though I'd rather have just been able to buy said items (That's just me being lazy though and doesn't fix other issues)
grand tendon
Here's a good one... Will we get combat pets of different types?
steady ocean
Since combat pets are tied into taming, most likely.
grand tendon
Nice
short flint
@grand tendon Also, owning a combat pet does not increase your performance. There was an example Steven gave i think in an interview where he stated that you as player with no pet would be at 100% combat strength. If you use a combat pet, your personal strength could become say 85%, but your pet would make up that 15% strength loss.
https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Combat_pets
hardy hamlet
Are pvp flags based on specific people or are they general based on if you hit anyone? Hypothetical example to clarify question: I am a higher level because I play a lot, my brother is low level but I quest with him anyway to help out. Someone mid level decides they want to gank him. I, a high level defend him, mid level doesn't fight back against me. Am I, in that scenario, getting full corrupt status because he didn't fight back against me specifically, or does his combat damage against my bro flag him for pvp and clear me of penalties?
steady ocean
If you want to attack someone (or heal someone that is already flagged for PVP), you have to manually flag. You don't have to be flagged to get hit.
If the mid level attacks the low lvl, the mid level becomes a combatant. You can attack the mid level and not get corruption if you kill them because you are both combatants
hardy hamlet
Thanks.
steady ocean
If however, you attack them first and kill them because they are being lippy and you become a combatant and they don't fight back, you will get corruption
hardy hamlet
I remember hearing about that much i just didn't know if i could defend my friends without worrying about gear. On the opposite end of the spectrum I can see it used the opposite way where i have my bro attack someone to bait them into becoming flagged so I can gank them without worry. (not that I would but it is a scenario that could anger the community)
steady ocean
It's their choice to attack/fight back. Most likely folks will be running in groups of 3-4, but that is a possibility.
short flint
We aren't 100% sure how flagging really works in a mass pvp type scenario. if your bro flags and they attack back, they might not be registered as a combatant to you (and be registered only to your bro as a combatant), or they might be registered as a combatant to anyone. However, being a combatant is better for that person as they lose less resources than being a non-combatant.
steady ocean
We do know that. If you attack someone you become a combatant for everyone, mass pvp or not.
short flint
Even in defense?
steady ocean
Yes
Not fighting back and dying means you stay a non-combatant. Fighting back means you become a combatant.
short flint
nod i get that piece.
steady ocean
If you have a question make sure to ask and I'll see if I/we can clarify 🙂

Hi mates, i just wanted to ask, how can i play AoC now. 75$ is way to much to buy for me in my country and i just wanted to know that there is any other options to join testing. Im really hyped for AoC
quartz coral
$2500 ?!!!!? Who would spend that much?
lone kelp
People who were truly desperate for an improvement on the genre, and had the free time to test.
quartz coral
Whoever spent that kinda money is insane
steady ocean
People who spent that much money have been helping test for 2+ years now, so they have gotten their money's worth imo
quartz coral
You’ve been testing for two years ?? @steady ocean
steady ocean
No, some of the PI testers have been testing for some time now.
quartz coral
Oh ok, what’s pi?

Although I may be mixing up my dates, as the release schedule says limited QA testing as of May 2020.

👨🦯👨🦯
hidden crane
The current test schedule, whenever it does take place, is for $1000 backers and higher (Leader of Men) as mentioned in the livestream last month.
Following that, they will probably move to Braver of Worlds backers (500$) and then based on backer pledge # they will slowly stagger rollout to all Alpha 1 backers as per what Steven said.
So if you've got A1, sit tight while the devs work on the game, you'll be able to play soon™️
If you dont have A1, the full Alpha 1 will not be under NDA, so you'll be able to watch the streams etc.
lean marlin
subject to change atm. Currently (at least going by the wiki) yes.
craggy summit
People who spent that much money have been helping test for 2+ years now, so they have gotten their money's worth imo
@steady ocean
if you put this into perspective it's kinda funny how that's roughly 14 years of continous subscription if it's $15 a month
if exactly 2500
but now I went a little off-topic ;P
hidden crane
@pulsar sonnet No. There is no EXP Debt for dying in Sieges/Guild Wars/etc.
Same as how there's no penalty for dying in duels/arena/etc.
lean marlin
that's the flagging system, not exp debt.
hidden crane
The PvP mentioned there is the flagging/corruption system.
@idle siren There is no official quote for death penalty being present in sieges/arena/GvG/wars/etc. would you be able to clarify? (Sorry for ping)
lean marlin
They do not use the pvp flagging system, you are correct on that. But currently (straight off the player death page)
hidden crane
There's vague mention of it from back in 2017, but that's it
There's only this from 2017, but with context it's pretty clear its for open world PvP/PvE:

sullen relic
Will there be any upside to pk'ing? Like They allow it and punish it with the systems in place but i wonder if there will ever be a situation where there is any reason to ever kill another player. Maybe to remove them from an area your farming in given the lack of fast travel?
meager dragon
Following that, they will probably move to Braver of Worlds backers (500$) and then based on backer pledge # they will slowly stagger rollout to all Alpha 1 backers as per what Steven said.
@hidden crane
I thought all Bravers were going to be in the alpha 1 by end of fall?
hidden crane
@sullen relic Raw materials (Resources) are droppable on death.
sullen relic
oh sick
hidden crane
@meager dragon Nowhere in my statement did I say otherwise?
lean marlin
@sullen relic It's part of the risk v reward concept. You have to make the call on whether or not it's worth it. We can't really tell you if there is an upside other than the resources as Shaze said.
hidden crane
:D
sullen relic
thanks guys
meager dragon
@hidden crane it was your 'probably' when I'd thought it was 'definitely' that caused me to panic.
hidden crane
Ah apologies, I moreso meant they could do bravers first and then alpha 1, or they could simply open it for both bravers + alpha 1 right away
We'll know more in the upcoming livestream
meager dragon
Ah gotcha gotcha. I thought they were letting alpha 1 people in by order of tier, then backer number like they did in apoc. Thank you 🙂
hidden crane
That is most likely the case
However Steven himself said "We will probably do it via back tier same as last time" so subject to change
barren bridge
Hey people question, i bought a pack for 75, yet the website tells me i can ''upgrade'' to the pack i bought.
lean marlin
The way it works is, you buy a pack then you can upgrade by paying the rest of the money needed for a higher tier.
barren bridge
thanks, i was lagging in my mind xD
Are the bigger packs worth it?
for example, the ship? i like the idea for a special ship design xD
lean marlin
That's not for us to tell you, you have to decide if it's worth it to you.
light blade
Regard pvp risk reward I think armour and weapon should be prone to dmg and could break so we must fix it and for instance when we fight in castle siege 250 v 250 anyone who die should not be respowned before battle ends,so we have a bit tactic,fear and sense of acompishment
lean marlin
@light blade #aoc-discussion

Hi, I haven't checked in, in like a month or so, is there a date for alpha 1 yet? And what about alpha 2?

Alpha 1 sometime in the fall. Nothing on A2.

You're not gonna get an A2 date until A1 is nearing it's end/has ended
latent oyster
Alpha 1 is currently scheduled for before December 21st. Alpha two and beyond dates have yet to be announced due to hinging on the progress and success of the preceding phases.

There are no dates. They stopped giving dates except for those they know they can hit. Timelines caused more REEEEEE than they were worth.

Intrepid does not provide dates unless they are sure they can meet them, so testing phases that are not next wont be announced until we are approaching their phase.
Intrepid will provide announcements and emails to those testers when their turn is approaching

If I am a green player, would I drop my raw materials or have any penalties if I killed by a red player?

So if you don't carry anything raw on you it makes more sense to just let people kill you?

The cost is greater for the attacker, right? With getting that up to x4 penalty modifyer and whatnot.

"Raw materials" include from what I recall the vast majority of mob drops as they wont be dropping gold and very rarely finished items.

@stuck nacelle Only if they go corrupt (karma). But if you are flagged and they kill you, no penalty applies.
latent oyster
For ganking non combatants, yes the risk is higher for the killer. But Steven has stated that he is a huge advocate of players being able to if they so choose, make that choice to go kill another player if they're willing to disregard or accept the consequences

Alpha 1 is scheduled for later this fall, though we don't have any specific dates. Alpha 2 will happen sometime after alpha 1 concludes, but we don't have anything timing-wise for it
woeful sinew
Ok, thanks.
woeful sinew
I'm an older player and I tend to play classes that are big, slow and tough to kill. I really dislike being "one shotted" and not much interested in being able to kill other players. Has there been any consideration given to situations like this?
near horizon
you could play tank
digital yacht
no class can 1 shot in this game, unless u are killing soem1 like 20 levels under u
tranquil willow
Tank sounds like a perfect fit for you
digital yacht
they want the TTK in this game to be somewhat longer than a 5 sec 3 hit combo insta kill lol
tranquil willow
30-60 seconds i heard
digital yacht
could be longer could be shorter based on players but yea they want a lengthy fight
woeful sinew
I always dreamed of having a character that people left alone because it was just too much work to kill. Also small groups of 2 or 3 attacking single players will that be able to happen?
digital yacht
yea u can attack any1 with any amount of players (in the open world)
woeful sinew
Is there a Wiki site for this game yet?
woeful sinew
Ok, thanks.

Will we be able to track contributions to the node advancement to see who in the guild is pulling their weight in terms of donations and such?
celest depot
Don't think anything is known about that yet. Couldn't find it anyways. But it wouldn't surprise me if there is a similar sentiment towards such a system as towards dps meters
reef osprey
@hard imp
hidden crane
@hard imp Yes, you will be able to do so.
reef osprey
@hidden crane you talking about contribution to the guilds, no?
not the nodes they reside in. Nodes aren't guild locked
hidden crane
He wants to see who has contributed to the node.
He will use this info to slap his guild mates.
Yes he will be able to do so.
reef osprey
so you'd see the EXP contribution a guild member contributed to each node on the server?
crystal beacon
I love how node architecture will be influenced by the race that contributes the most
Super cool
reef osprey
as the contribution doesn't depend on citizenship, but in which ZOI they have been playing?

iirc yes? Unless the idea has been shelved?

What is the blackmsithing class? Is it just a weapon and armor smithing combo?
ruby swift
They make the tools that people need for other artisan classes.
onyx knoll
unknown at this time as far as I remember
ruby swift
They said 1 of the main trees can be mastered. Either gathering, processing, or crafting. You may have enough points to master a couple sub disciplines under that but not all.
ripe dawn
Yeah. All I wanted to know is if I could master weaponsmithing and armor smithing, thanks for the help
tidal ermine
will there be artisan gear/stats? (not talking about gear created from crafting but gear that boosts crafting efficiency in some way via speed, increased proc chance of "elite" gatherables or craftables or something of the sort). Or is gear all combat oriented? All I've heard so far is that gathering will require specific tools that you make and higher level tools=higher level gatherables.
junior pagoda
All I've heard about, is there are potential benefits to going to a metroplis to craft. So perhaps different node levels can impact what you can make or the speed at which you make it
rain spade
They gave the example that better carpentry might make a better stove that, when used for cooking, results in better food
So it seems a system like that is coming in some form
arctic mortar
Why you think the game will release after 2y I thought it would be in middle of 2021

We still need to go through All of Alpha 1, then Alpha 2, then Beta 1 + 2

patent flare
Not sure if this has been talked about before, but as someone who enjoys leveling and playing different classes apart from my main, how friendly is the game planning to be in regards to alts?
ruby swift
You will have a "comfortable amount" of alts. There have been no announced plans to make the levelling process for multiple characters easier as some games do.
patent flare
Makes sense, don’t mind the leveling process being the same, but was just curious if you would be able to, for example, go in a player housing plot on all your characters in the server and not just the character you purchased it on. Stuff like that.
steady ocean
You can grant access to your alts to your freehold

Sweet thanks guys

Pre ALpha 1 has. Alpha 1 ramp up is soon.

sacred axle
Are we able to exchange old packs for new on the store?
rain spade
I do not think you are able to exchange - only add on
ruby swift
If you own a package, you are able to purchase future cosmetics at individual prices based on tier of package. You can also upgrade lower packages to higher, but you do no get the original pack cosmetic upgrades, just the current ones. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/257283936756039680/740203385919111259/Individual_purchase.png
lusty kite
This might help as a visual; linked at least a few times in the past. Shows the different packs and then which skins you get with each tier.
steady ocean
@sacred axle You can put in a ticket and the support team may be able to help you if you want to get rid of an old pack for a new pack. It's happened before.
No guarantees though. Just know that ticket ques are pretty long right now so it may take some time if they are able to assist.
sacred axle
Appreciate it guys TY 🙂
sour granite
for the freehold is that a skin for a structure that does something or is it just an ornamental piece you can place
and if i get different version of the freehold over time, will i be able to use them at the same time or would i have to choose which i was using.
ruby swift
You can use a single skin at a time. We don't know if you would for example be able to place two forges. If so, you would need two skins if you wanted to change their base appearance.
They have not given specifics on which skins match which freehold buildings.
azure gull
Hey guys. I'm new to the game. If everything goes as promised, I have faith that this game will be the best game ever in video gaming history. Sorry if you see this question dozens of time a day (which you probably do) but... when is the speculated/estimated release date for the full game? I know it's not announced yet but you've been here for a long time. What are your guesses?
lusty kite
most believe 2-3 years for full release
tulip hatch
There is no official eta
So cant provide a valid answer
Most I can inform is that Intrepid announces ETAs when they are certain they can meet the date
So we wont have a launch ETA until we're closer
azure gull
Is there any approximate information on how much it would take from Beta 1 to full release?
flat charm
alpha 1 should be before years end
thats all we jnow
Im guessing maybe 6 months between phases
azure gull
Thank you.

hard maybe on that, could be longer

I was searching the website for the races but I couldn't find the appearances of them. Do we have any in-depth info on playable races? What I could find is only this: https://ashesofcreation.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360049122614-What-playable-races-will-there-be-in-Ashes-of-Creation-

is it known how many dungeons there will be?
digital yacht
no
placid vessel
Nope, we know nothing about the number of dungeons, only nodes.
tawdry stump
Dungeons will be available or unavailable based off the development of the nodes around them. Not all dungeons can be availabe at once. The dungeon boss mechanics will change based on how "farmed" the boss is. (this may be wrong, somebody else chime in if so).

covid lockdown and not very busy here... does interpid have any weapons/armors fan art page they consider taking ideas into the game from?

You could always share it on the forums. From what we know, Steven always browses them 🙂

quick wind
Will the game be launched in all regions in the same time? (Us,eu, aus) ?
lean marlin
I believe so? Can't fully remember at this moment.
digital yacht
Yes
full badger
Will the game be launched in all regions in the same time? (Us,eu, aus) ?
@quick wind the testing phases will only be available in EU and NA servers. OCE servers are planned for launch
quick wind
I meant like the actual launch after beta.
Sub-question: is pre-order of the game is locked to a certain region?
The reason i’m asking bc i’d rather not wait in EU while NA has alrdy started
full badger
@quick wind yes they are all planned to launch at the same time. There is no ip or region locking for pre-orders or the game itself
ruby swift
OCE servers may not be provisioned until Beta for Ashes of Creation (the MMO) and live launch for Ashes of Creation Apocalypse.[7]
grizzled latch
Just to clear up any confusion that might bring up from Unknown's comment, Ashes of Creation Apocalypse probably won't be releasing again
ruby swift
Suspended, not dead.
grizzled latch
All it was was a testing tool, I suppose it might come back but that statement makes the suspension seem indefinite.
Maybe it will come back, but don't want anyone to get their hopes up for it
spiral pine
theyve said its comming back
spring dagger
They’ve said it might I think if they need to test more systems
odd charm
grizzled latch
Alot of heat was generated from apoc, people were not happy that it appeared that the company we were trusting to make an mmo was making a battle Royale game instead. From their perspective its a good way to test, but a few other games released things like that, a hollow shell of the product and never went any further. That made people very very suspicious about apoc.

nocturne fiber
has there been any news on the alpha 1 release date as on the wiki it stats fall 2020 which is where we are now. all be it early fall
desert ivy
Late/end of fall
nocturne fiber
ok so that would put alpha 2 around early winter then or January
nocturne fiber
well heres hoping seeing as alpha 1 isn't for sale
full badger
Alpha 1 will most likely take months
nocturne fiber
it does say alpha 2 is permanent which I took as alpha 1 is more of a stress test for a couple weeks
desert ivy
nocturne fiber
welp heres hoping alpha one goes up for sale again
quaint pawn
It won't.
south shadow
Well they said that it might actually 😉
rain spade
Alpha 1 access sales were suspended because they reached a number they were comfortable with without the server being too big/unmanageable for early testing
If Alpha 1 proves stable and productive, the possibility exists that it could go back on sale for the purposes of scaling up the test
quaint pawn
I wouldn't get their hopes up though

will there be some sort of crowd-source option that lets me contribute to another person's campaign to buy the mayor position of an economic node, or will I just have to give the person money directly and hope they give it back if they don't win?

silk swallow
Another question, don't know if you lads have an answer
If i buy a cheap version with the current theme
And i have the "option" to upgrade in the future
does it upgrade to new theme or old theme?
or mix even?
crystal flax
You keep your pieces from the old theme, and get whatever's new in the upgrade
plucky pawn
you'll get the upgraded bits from the new set, and keep your current bits from the set you already purchased
crystal flax
Example: If you buy the lowest tier this month, you get those hot boots, if you upgrade to the $150 next month, you just get next month's pet
silk swallow
👍 💯
sour granite
so if you wanted the replacement for the boots as well you'd have to upgrade AND purchase the other part?
crystal flax
@calm hawk Yes, usually a few days prior to the change so probably October 4th-5th
sour granite
i mean in that instance described where they are upgrading
crystal flax
You can't replace anything
Only buy new things
You would be able to buy next month's accessory slot (the boots equivalent)
@calm hawk Right, keep an eye on the discussion channels since Steven likes to leak them sometimes
sour granite
so you'd pay to upgrade AND pay for whatever replaces the boots next month if you wanted everything that next tier had
crystal flax
But the piecemeal cosmetics are only like, $5-$25 depending
You're not paying full price again
sour granite
just trying to iron out in my head how it all works
is the freehold one an ornamental piece you can put in the freehold or is it a skin for a particular structure?
or is it like an overall theme for the property
crystal flax
Skin for a building
arctic mortar
How i can play the alpha when they release it
short flint
The only Alpha you can buy right now @arctic mortar is Alpha 2. There might be an option to pay for Alpha 1 if Intrepid opens up more slots for purchase. At this time, Alpha 1 sales are closed.

Is there any Intrepid Studios Merch available to support AoC?
Maybe some otter plushies? Asking for a friend 😋
onyx knoll
Currently no, at the moment the only way you can support the game is through the pre-order packs and cosmetic items
turbid basalt
do we know the next pack a little bit in advance or we just gotta pray its one we'll like?
late pewter
they usually show it a day or two before available for purchase
crystal flax
@echo venture There used to be merch and they've mentioned wanting to do some again, just none available currently
grizzled latch
Sometimes its holiday themed, like February was very pink for valentines day, but not sure of any others that have been. So you have a non zero chance of it being spooky scary skeletons. Then again the one before the previous one was kinda scary themed so they might not take that route :/
Considering how many months that are left before the packs end and how varied they are im sure there will be both more you like and more that you aren't so fond of
simple karma
Is It planned to release comics/books or any other type lore related?
grizzled latch
I think not lore related, definitely not before release due to steven keeping that close to his chest. It might come awhile after release once players have had a chance to discover the lore ingame first.
turbid basalt
@late pewter ty brotha
late pewter
@turbid basalt np. The new cosmetics will probably be shown next monday or tuesday (5th or 6th, since the current cosmetics are available through midday the 7th) and then you have a day or two to decide if you want to grab this pack quick before it's gone.
sour granite
anyone here ever play shroud of the avatar? hopefully this game doesn't suffer the same problem of people losing interest before they get to play it, even though they already shelled out money for it
with it so far away for most, i think it's not an unreasonable fear.
guess the question is, "is the monthly items people can buy enough to keep people engaged till they get to play? is anything being planned to keep people interested? "
lean marlin
Interest is a funny thing. the Ashes community though is pretty set on playing. So regardless of cosmetic stuff and things, I am fairly certain that people will still want to play the game, whether during their testing phase or at launch.
muted timber
So this is probably something that can't be answered before alpha but I was wondering about Quest design and 'breadcrumbing'.
So as a fresh character If i strike out to a distant node immediately would I be missing key breadcrumbs from the starter area for example that would limit further quest progression?
lean marlin
@muted timber atm, that's a yes and no. Have you checked the wiki for quests?
sour granite
well the quests advance that node, right? so any quests you do before getting to the node you want to get to will advance those node
muted timber
Yeah I understand the distinction between tasks, events etc. But I'm thinking specifically for the narrative quests, dealing with lore etc.
sour granite
maybe i've missed something then, i was under the impression that we define the lore via what we do
muted timber
There is still in game lore and history regarding the religions etc
desert ivy
Yeah there's still actual lore that everyone experiences
sour granite
are you saying we won't know anything about the history unless we do quests?
lean marlin
Lore is the same across every server. The difference is what Nodes develop and who does what.
steady ocean
There will be several ways to unlock lore, quests are going to be the main driver. Keep in mind that quests will be gated by node development, node type, location of your character, etc
sour granite
i thought it was like a clean slate. we know what happened before, we know we were carried to a safe place and now we are returning... now we define the history of the world moving forward.
muted timber
Yeah my main query is whether there's any breadcrumbs related to them from leaving the gateway or if they can be accessed from any node sufficiently progressed
sour granite
the lore is what we did after returning. the story of what happened before that is on the web site. not much to it. now we are returning, it's a clean slate.
steady ocean
It's not though. There is A LOT of lore that has not been released
muted timber
That lore will be discovered in-game. It has been stated. Hence the question on breadcrumbs.
steady ocean
The game will have an overarching storyline that showcases the lore of Ashes of Creation. The "history" of a server is simply the decisions players make on their respective servers that affect nodes as they rise & fall, as well as which raids & dungeons are spawned.
That's why the game is a mix of theme park + sand box.
lean marlin
Lore is divided into 2 categories. Static Lore that is unchanging (these are narratives and such), and Server Lore which deals with "On day 22 Guild XYZ leveled their node to a tier 4 science Node." Which isn't really static, and is the player driven section.
As for the breadcrumbs, you might miss something if you go to another node, you also might not. It just depends on how the system works.
muted timber
Yep, was just wondering if it had been mentioned before tyty
sour granite
guess i just misunderstood then
south shadow
So I have a question regarding gliding mounts. From what I can see, they will be hovering above the ground, infinite and not so much gliding. When I think about gliding I think about how it worked in Archeage. So the question is really if we know what it will be like, gliding or hovering?
short flint
Not 100% sure - i assume you would see winged beasts flapping their wings to stay slightly above ground when moving. instead of galloping/running mounts, possibly beasts that "long jump" as movement. Maybe mystical creatures that hover because of magical ability over physical movement options. Just for the illusion of flight without actually giving it.
south shadow
Yea no I don't think that I have seen the gliding/hovering in a video yet. So this is a little unclear as of yet it seems.
south shadow
Okey, thats really what I was hoping for when I heard gliding anyways.
calm narwhal
say i bout the expeditionary pack then after alpha 2 is done i wanted to upgrade to the voyager pack to get the mount skin would that be possible or is it unknown
arctic sky
They give warning before changing packs normally
So we currently don't know but it shouldn't be a surprise
ruby swift
Gliding and hovering are two different things, so I'd stick with gliding for now (you glide as long as your mount has elevation + momentum to propel you forward)
@steady ocean @south shadow
The angel/demon cosmetic skins are said to have a "hover effect" also.
grizzled latch
Oh i didn't know the skin part, I hope you can land and walk normally instead of hovering the whole time though.
south shadow
@ruby swift Yes I did read that myself but I do hope that there Will be actual gliding regarding the mount.
near horizon
it's probably just cosmetic hovering @grizzled latch
grizzled latch
I want to see the demon skin walk, otherwise I might not use it
dapper chasm
For the gliding mounts, i guess u r thinking about the archeage,bdo-pegasus-type-slowly sinking while moving foward thing?
I guess this will be the case for the gliding mounts in AoC aswell since just hovering over the floor would be useless if they r moving the same as the normal Tier 1 mounts without any advance in movement.
grim breach
That is what gliding is.
sharp slate
That is what gliding is in most games. However, gliders can achieve lift from wind currents and thermals. Would be cool if they implemented a system like that as skill based flight with limitations.
lean marlin
they might be able to glide through the air. if you jump them off a high place. dunno.
south shadow
If nobody knows for sure, then this might be a question for the developers?
dry harbor
Does anybody know if characters themselves will be locked to a server? For example, could I play the same character on an EU server 1 day, and a US server the next?
placid vessel
Yes, you will be server-locked.
dry harbor
😦
hexed stratus
Good
dry harbor
I mean, i could see people exploiting it, so makes sense.
I'm just stuck between playing with EU friends or US friends.
grizzled latch
Server transfers are not something that they want to really be an option at all, due to the individualistic nature of the game. One server could have killed boss xyz and they dont want those resources going to another server who hasn't completed that feat.
dry harbor
I agree with that
it'd just be cool if each character could choose 1 EU and 1 US server
and play whichever they want
but not a 2nd EU or US server
dapper chasm
u can just create 2 characters one for EU and one for NA
dry harbor
Yea, that's true. I just like the idea of working on 1 main character. Splitting the effort on 2 just sounds draining.
Having 1 character at level 50, doing raids and stuff and the other is level 12 with a few sticks and rocks in his bags. Hard to do it all over again lol
dry harbor
Has there been any mention of a debuff limit for npcs or raid bosses at all?
dry harbor
gm armor?
drifting pulsar
yeah they entered a 40 player raid
but because you know...they're 4 people they used gm armor
basically no dmg and a bunch of op buffs
drifting pulsar
yeah so we couldnt really see any of the actual raid combat for players
dry harbor
aw ok. But no mention of it by any other means?
Nothing on the wiki that i could find
drifting pulsar
yeah no leaks on it so far
theres a dev stream on the 30th though
so we might get some info
dry harbor
hope so!
fading latch
Those kinds of numbers will be crunched during A2 with the finalisation of the combat system. We will get a glimpse during Alpha 1 however@dry harbor
full badger
@dry harbor We haven't been told about any kind of debuff limit on mobs. That will definitely be something to test during Alpha, etc.
long spire
will there be any kind of instanced (competetive) pve content? Kinda like Mythic+ in WoW. For the competetive non PvP focused folks out there?

Some dungeons will be instanced but it’s like 20%
For story content
But no mythic+ type stuff atm
drifting pulsar
80% open world 20% instanced i believe
check out the 2hours of footage they released

Alot of the dungeons and even raids will be open world. Only a small portion is instanced
