I hope Aoc is a game which is a different world. In a sense which that its identical to our real world but just fantastical. Does anyone think this is possible?
woven vale
No, games will always be limited to some point. (atleast with what we have now)
It may come close, but it won't be anywhere near perfect.
limpid parcel
It may come close, but it won't be anywhere near perfect.
@woven vale what do you think they cant replicate?
woven vale
Many things are restricted by mechanics and hardware, balancing, and gameplay for the sake of fun > realism. The list goes on.

Since this is such an open-ended and opinion-based question, I'd suggest moving it to the #aoc-discussion channel

prob not

Potentially
woven vale
Apoc may return with Siege/Monster game modes. However, we really don't know.
queen swan
We do know that it wont happen before alpha 1 though, so if it does release again, wont be until at least after may 2021 most likely

it'll be after A1 if it comes back or not.

If I buy a 75 ashes pack does the 225 one cost 150 now? Anyone knows? 🤔
full badger
When you upgrade to a higher pack you only pay the difference
torpid tangle
so if they release alpha 1 it'll be the difference ;)?

Hello! I am thinking to buy the 250 dollar package with the steed. Is there any ingame picture of the mount so I can see it before I spend money on it?

I'm afraid we only have concept art for the monthly cosmetics, sorry.

Oh, there will be new mount cosmetic every month untill april?

Any updates on whether oceana servers will be hosted from Australia instead of Singapore
full badger
@crystal beacon no information on that yet, sorry
limpid parcel
Which pack would you say has the best value?
bronze warren
imo all packs are really worth
the most you invest the better rewards you get
but all of them come with an amount of playtime / cosmetic currency in accordance to the investment
full badger
@limpid parcel I'd say the pricing is fair across the board, but only you can decide if it's really "worth it". One thing that will help is, in the shop you can click on the "view more info" button under each pack and it will give you a breakdown of what is included with some values

@full badger hmm alrighty. Shame I'm too late to unlock alpha 1
fickle abyss
@limpid parcel beta access would be my recommendation. Alpha is literally an alpha by every sense of the word and you won't like it. It's for real testing.
velvet spear
Alpha is gonna be for the guys who legit are okay w/ playing through every bug you could possibly have in a Bethesda game...at one time.
arctic swift
Alpha 2 will be playable all the way to release, while betas will go online and offline though
velvet spear
Shouldn't that be the other way around?
steady ocean
The Betas are meant to spot test very specific systems and won't be persistent like Alpha 2 will be as far as we know
thorny hearth
wil everything be reset after the alpha and beta's?
fickle wigeon
yes
arctic swift
Wonder when they will release the character creator. Not sure how far along they are on all the models
bronze warren
there was some video showing character creators if my memory isn't failing, but was an early concept
steady ocean
The dev team have mentioned that they want to release it prior to launch, so I wouldn't expect it anytime soon imo.
Maybe closer to the Betas
bronze warren
^
arctic swift
Aw, was hoping you could do it earlier
steady ocean
That's just speculation on my part. We'll need to wait for confirmed dates by the devs
hot palm
Any info on what cosmetics will show up at Nov 7th in the shop? Is it usually released before the swap, or do I have to wait till it actually swaps? I'm sold on half the current pack, but not all and not sure if I should buy or wait.
crystal beacon
Does the dungeon have ranking like c rank and like ss rank dungeon
thorny hearth
@crystal beacon good question
steady ocean
@hot palm
These are the 3 reveals we have so far. Gotta wait till the 4th for the rest.
@crystal beacon Steven has talked about having dungeons that scale based on how the group performs. However, we don't have the specific details outside of the boss fights may get harder the better your group performs.
thorny hearth
All I know is that the difficulty of bosses further in the dungeons are determined by how wel you perform on the former parts of the dungeon, but I don't know if the dungeons will have a classification on their own
I would imagine so though
silk tapir
Damn these are ugly this time
bronze warren
cosmetics? I do really like the male one
some mix between mageg and warrior that seems cool
silk tapir
And some leaves around your face as target rectangle for enemies xD
hot palm
@steady ocean Thank you, I don't like the new ones 😦
steady ocean
Can always holdout for a pack you do. No rush
hot palm
Yeah, I'm afraid that Alpha 2 access is going to be removed in the future, so there may be a bit of a rush - because i want A2 and at least an 'ok' pack 😄
steady ocean
The devs have stated that they will give us plenty of notice if they intend to remove Alpha 2 access from the store.
hot palm
That's very good to know. Thank you!
fickle abyss
@silk tapir take that back!!!

So what servers do we have? Why the Asian recruitment channel is gone?
ruby swift
There never was an Asian recruitment channel. It was all one channel, they split it into two a couple weeks ago. They did not feel there was enough of a need for an OCE/SEA channel, since there was ever only one active guild posting there.
!wiki servers
tender hearthBOT

where do you post SEA adverts then
mellow lava
it latterly says SEA= Asia
fickle wigeon
will real world events have an effect on the world like cosmetics based on halloween theme etc

The current shop cosmetics are halloween themed

Can someone give me a reply that doesn't contradict itself?
WHERES THE SEA CHANNEL?
Where did it go, then?
Who am I supposed to recruit people?

@mellow lava You're expected to post in #na-oce-guild-recruitment

Hey, does anyone know when the next alpha test will be?

We will first be allowed to stream during the testing in march?
crisp holly
Yep
steady ocean
As long as you have alpha 1 access
bronze warren
the image doe tell it. NDA means you can'tshow anything but no NDA is free to show
and as tavern said, if youve got acces jaja
upbeat lark
and the only way to gain access is to buy the packs?
full badger
Correct (with a couple of exceptions)
bronze warren
Those packs are out, you can't buy one right now.
the only way to gain acces to alpha 1 right now is participating on extra life's event thsi weekend
but you can go for an alpha 2 acces pack 🙂
upbeat lark
which is for the one in april-may?
bronze warren
I've just said it. Right now you can't buy those packs

Oh you're talking about Alpha 1? Yeah, Ragh is right, you cannot buy into it right now

mhm yeh i have been studying the class list for a bit now , i assume with how big the game is it would be possible to build it using professions and such , hopefully

for the summon class, what are we be able to summon?

We don't know exactly

Professions will not offer anything outside of gathering, processing and crafting. It wont alter your class Combatwise @somber vapor

@arctic swift tnx ^^ guess ill have to just get as close as possible and work with that , ty for the info ❤️
arctic swift
Np 💕 If you're thinking about roleplaying as a demon Hunter there are bounty hunters and a thief guild and stuff like that. Maybe rogue + cleric and Hunt evil people (demons in your eyes) 😄
Since from what i understand from small hints, some cleric augments could potentially focus more on damage/death rather than heals and blessings
west jay
When do Alpha 1 invites go out ? & Will it be sent to our emails ?
full badger
You'll be sent an email when it's your turn to test the game
west jay
So any time from now till December ?
just wondering if there was anything else i had to do in the forums or sign up for it.
full badger
If you are taking part in the Alpha previews (the ones under NDA) you'll first be sent an NDA contract to sign. Once that has been returned you'll be sent information on how to download and install the client.
Just double check the email address connected to your account with the Alpha access and you should be fine
west jay
Okay awesome! Any idea when those NDA contracts will be sent out ?
full badger
No idea, sorry

Thank you 😋 ill just wait then i know its still early
just wondering if there was an extra step i had to take or something to get set up for it
queen swan
This might be a dumb question - but as a braver of worlds backer, can i not buy the monthly cosmetics as a pack? I'm looking at the shop and all the pieces are there individually, but i dont see any kind of bundle
full badger
That is how it's intended yes
steady ocean
You already have everything included in all the pre-order packs with your braver of worlds pack. Hence why you can only get the individual cosmetics
queen swan
ah, i see, thanks.
too bad, i'm a sucker for bulk discounts ;P but not likely to buy all the pieces individually.
appreciate the answers
steady ocean
It's the same price
dark jungle
in fact if you buy the pack you will be double paying for some things, such as name reservation and keys
queen swan
oh, i guess i was assuming bundles might work like the summer add on bundle for pets. because the summer pet bundle includes the blue phoenix, the hawk, and the shadow dragon. bundled they are $35, but separately they are $55
thanks

Considering it's the Cleric point of view that we've seen most of the time in recordings. To me it makes sense that they'd showcase the classes that we've seen in the recordings first

If a new node type is added it won't be at launch rather in a future expansion or something, same as additional classes/races

Sort of related to the preorder packs - Do we know when Beta 2 will be approximately available? As far as I know Alpha 1 is upcoming

Rather, Beta in general

Hmm.. Fair point. Trying to figure out if it makes sense for me to purchase the cheap preorder pack (although I aint financially too well off)

@meager schooner basically u on buy the pack of u like that cosmetic for the month, no need to purchase early just wait until u find something u really like

Guess that's fair. In that case I need to evaluate if I'll find the clout of having exclusive items worth the money 😄
- btw, on the topic of whether resurrection will be an in-combat skill, according to this livestream it is https://youtu.be/Trk0Tik18j8?t=6293
Ohh. Damn. I hadn't actually considered that
That's actually awesome, I must assume that the cast is easily interruptable by being struck, the cast time was also quite long so it does seem reasonably balanced

I don’t think regular dmg cancels it I think u need hard cc

Oh no you're right, in the video as well Margaret does take damage from the drake while continuing to cast

Okay so brace yourselves for my question but I'm an idiot with a square brain so I have to ask. I'm a little confused with the price for Ashes of Creation. On the pre-order pack (cheapest) it says that it includes two months of pay for play time (or something along those lines). Does it mean beta play for those two months of play time? If it doesn't, does this mean AoC will be a "pay per month to play" or is it a one-time purchase? Thanks for humouring my probably dumb question❤️
meager schooner
There is no "Box price" upon release. There is only a Subscription fee
That is to say, you will not need to pay an initial price when wanting to get into the game, only a monthly fee
The Preorder packs will allow you to play early, but also grant you two months of play time upon release
ruby swift
Testing does not consume sub time gained in package purchase is what the concern was there I got. It doesn't.

The preorder packs have access to the betas or alpha 2 depending on which is purchased ... nothing carries over to the launch of the game from progress from alpha/betas... there will be a wipe and the servers will start fresh... the game if you do not do a preorder will be just be a 15$ a month subscription with no box cost .... game time from the pre orders only apply to when the game launches not alpha or betas so it saves the 15$ a month for however long the purchased package says 🙂 @sick depot

Cosmetics are one and done, once they have cycled off the shop that variant will not appear again. Will they offer otters in the future? Could be, but they will not be that exact color or have the bamboo saddle barding, otters can also be gained in game.

Depends on preference. Some people prefer to join a community to get to know them before launch. But keep in mind the game is out for at least 2-3 years

Good afternoon. When will there be at least some information on early access kits at regional prices for the CIS?🙄

There probably won't be regional prices for the alpha/beta packs
There may be regional prices for sub prices when the game launches, but not for the alpha and betas
maiden depot
@desert ivy It's a pity if so, many of the Russian-speaking community are waiting. Is this information from the developers?
fading hollow
Is it possible for more information to be put out about the crafting side of Ashes? We know we will only be able to master one profession path, but how far will we be able to go in the other paths? What bonuses do you get from going into certain paths? What will be key differences between blacksmithing and armor/weapon smithing?
plucky pawn
@fading hollow We'll definitely be sharing more of those kinds of details with you as we get closer to having you help us test those systems, though there will still be some element of 'discovery' involved in terms of what we hold back for you to find out yourself 😉
fading hollow
I'm really into professions when I play MMORPG and id love to learn more about it and play it. sadly I won't be able to find out until alpha 2.
plucky pawn
@maiden depot we're still working to bring our Intrepid Studios offices online in Amsterdam, which will help with localization efforts for our French/German/Russian communities as well as the possibility of setting up a local shop accordingly (as we know VAT can be quite significant for folks who are purchasing outside the US!)
maiden depot
@plucky pawn Are there any approximate dates when this work will be completed? Will we have time to buy alpha 2 kits at local prices?
plucky pawn
We don't have any updated dates to share on that front quite yet, but we'll let you know as soon as we have them in our usual places like #news !

artisan classes are a separate class and skill tree from your combat classes
no worries
hidden urchin
Do you gain corruption from killing same-level (or rather, max level) players? If so, and being corrupted means you're less effective in combat, wouldn't this totally discourage pvp-centric guilds? Isn't a high probability of losing gear enough? Thanks

@manic kraken Ah ok thank you. Ashes will be my first ever MMO and I'm still learning things about what's been revealed so far about the game. 🙂
manic kraken
No worries, welcome to the MMO comunity ❤️
ruby swift
@hidden urchin More of an opinion answer than anything. Corruption is always a topic that spawns just as many answers of that type as questions. Might be best to take it to one of the discussion channels before it kicks off here. There are also multiple threads regarding corruption and its impact on the forums.
hidden urchin
Sure, but is there an answer to the original question because I do not know?
ruby swift
You gain corruption for killing anyone who does not flag back.
You gain more corruption when there is a level disparity
As you gain corruption, your combat stats are impacted, even at max level.
manic kraken

@hidden urchin You toggle on your PvP state, called flagging up, your name will turn purple when this happens, if you kill another player that is also in a PvP state you will incur no corruption. If you kill a player who is not in a PvP state, their name will be green, you will gain curruption and your name will turn red. mutural PvP is fine, forced PvP gives your curruption
ruby swift
The chance of losing gear has yet to be defined what the threshold of "high enough levels of corruption to drop gear" is
hidden urchin
Great! Thank you both

oak depot
@idle siren is gear (or monsters) going to have "Holy" resistance (as part of elemental resistance from light/robe armor as I believe we won't have individual resistances) or are spell schools of magic non-resistable?
lean marlin
@oak depot I would think it would Nost, considering that that cloth mitigates magic damage. So if it's a thing then something in the cloth spectrum would surely resist it. Unless it's some kind of non mitigated dmg...
oak depot
@lean marlin I ask as I expect certain types of magic (like the rumored "Planar") might not be resistible (based on my experience with other games where there is always a "special" or "unique" element working outside the normal rules)

How hard of a learning curve is there going to be for the systems of this game? A friend of mine has never played an mmo before but really wants to try this one on release.

That'll be tough to answer. I believe the answer will really depend on how well they develop the features and explain them in-game.
for those that are new.

Really worried about combat, spell animation, etc. Is there any info about the overall spell animation rework? mb its scheduled for a2/b1/b2? I think I've heard in some video (one of more recent ones) that the dev team wants to shift from current "spectacular/firework" spell animation towards more "clean" animations. But from what is shown in cleric preview its still "firework" style spell animations.
glad sleet
@celest moat current official stance on animations is "Keep in mind this is just the first iteration, skill effects will be toned down if needed"
celest moat
Also spells like Exorcism and Hallowed Ground have levitation effect -> is it just an animation or will levitation be part of clerics spells/mechanics? Will there be some kind of levitation/slow fall for any class? What happens if I break spellcasting during levitation animation by pressing jump button? 😄 Also I can see a cleric resurrecting teammate in a mass fight -> his head is above the "crowd" -> mage/hunter can go for quick kill/interrupt 😄

I know that the grand majority if not all female armor is being designed to be more realistic/modest than other games.

They've said in the past cosmetics won't be sexual in nature. Doesn't mean there won't be some that don't show off the male/female figure, but I wouldn't expect them to be geared towards the hyper sensual/sexual side

@celest moat Some early footage of the mage featured a levitation effect, note that we havnt seem it in the recent version but more abilities are intended so maybe in the future - Animation cancelling is not intended to be a deliberate gameplay mechanic so I would expect the answer to questions about how animations interact with abilities to either go, the ability needs to wait for the previous animation to finish or the ability doesn't particularly interact with the animation (a dance emote probably gets ignored when it's time to attack for example)
deft cliff
So, in the recent lifestream they talked about the fact, that during a node siege people could potentially lose materials, both gathered and processed, that are stored in the warehouse. On the other hand the loss of completed gear would not be possible. Wouldn't that give an edge to people who chose a crafting profession instead of gathering or processing, because they never have to worry about losing stuff ?
dark jungle
Crafters will lose their mats
steady ocean
Crafters still need to buy materials in order to craft stuff
So it could be that a wealthy crafter buys a large amount of materials and before they are able to craft them the siege is declared and their materials are locked out, for example.
dark jungle
Mats could be very expensive and may need to be stored until they have the right types and quantities to craft finished goods
deft cliff
Hmm, fair point. But wouldn't high roller crafters just wait for a siege to break out to snipe some cheap mats of panicked gatherers and processors?
steady ocean
You can't buy the materials of a sieged node as far as I'm aware. The warehouses get locked down

If you have 8 of ten mithil bars needed to craft that legendary and you lose half of them you would be raging

@sharp bramble Have they said which packs will be made available or do they state when releasing a specific monthly pack that it won't be available in the future?
sharp bramble
Every month they release a new set of cosmetics with the packs available in the shop. Those same cosmetics will never be available again.
There's a notice given when they will change so you have the opportunity to get the current month's pack. You also have the ability after buying a pack, to purchase the cosmetics afterward individually for whatever tier reward you have purchased

I have question regarding the Archetypes and races.
Will the same archetypes but in different race, have the same skills?
For example is a orc mage using the same „Magic“ as an human mage?
I heard that only the stats of the races would be different. I would find it a bit weird because each race is differently „socialized“.
Anyone has any information about that?
steady ocean
Yes, Archetypes as far as we know are not affected by the race. Races just affect the starting base stats distributions and the racial augment (which could change the archetype active skills in some way).
woeful belfry
how many pre launch packs have released to date?
summer wagon
This also regards the skills before level 25? @steady ocean
steady ocean
Yes, you don't get new skills from your class (e.g. secondary archetype).
desert ivy
@woeful belfry 28

summer wagon
That would be interesting if there would be a difference in skills of race, but same archetype. Then the variation would be bigger.
desert ivy
Would also be 9x the work
They haven't even completed all 8 of the base archetypes yet
So unless you wanted the game to release in 2030 then 
steady ocean
May be better being continued in #aoc-discussion
summer wagon
That is true, but wouldn’t it be weird if a dwarf and human use the same magic if they even come from different „parents“ and environments
desert ivy
None of them knew magic before arriving on Verra anyway, so they learn all their magic in the same place technically, so not really

For casters, the most recent videos seem to show that there will be significant cast animations and cast times. Will auto attack / weapon attack damage play a vital role in caster classes as well? Similar to other games that rely on a cast, animation cancel, auto attack sequence to do optimal dps?

Casters will also have weapons, though as to what degree they are used in combat I cannot say

The august-september one was a dwarf race one

jo guys i have a question regarding mounts/pets and their skins, i could not find any answear anywhere. so i hope anyone of you knows it. if i buy 2 or more pet/mount skins can i have 2 or more pets/mounts with all the different skins or can i only have them with 1 type of skin ? or is it even possible to have 2 or more mounts/pets ? and how will i be able to euqip the skins ? so per example the drake skin vor november 2020, do i need to have a drake mount to equip this skin ? or can i have a normal mount horse and equid it with this skin and then it looks like that drake ?

Hi, just curious about buying a pack on the shop, is there an EU shop or does the currency just auto convert when you checkout?

@simple ether ye but im thinking like i have 3 pets running around, can i equip every one of them with another skin ? or will they have all the same ? am i even able to have multiple pets/mounts and how will i be able to get normal pets/mounts anyways haha ? i would feel kinda stupid having many skins for pets and mounts but in the end they are really hard to get and you can only have 1 mount and 1 pet ? and what do you mean with the tiers ? you mind explain that please ?
so what can a normal cosmetic pet do ? does is just sit in the house or can it walk with you?

Does all mounts have some kind of timer like you get them and when activated you can use them for 7 days then after that time they disapear or is it 4ever until sell it or something

So definitely makes sense to want to wait, but if there is something you think you'll really really love, might be worth considering. So far they've had a good track record i think in terms of turning the concept art into great in-game models.

With news that blizzard has chosen to ban multi boxing, so we think AoC will follow suit? My understanding was that they will allow it?
desert ivy
Ashes multiboxing is only allowed if each character is on separate computers and being controlled individually.
Doubt Intrepid would change their stance because WoW changed something
Ashes isn't exactly a game that's copying WoW
vale pilot
What you described isn’t multi-boxing? My understanding was multi-boxing is multiples accounts tied to the same keystrokes of one keyboard?
desert ivy
Well Ashes has never allowed that
plucky pawn
From what I just read, the change in WoW's stance is to disallow you using software to mimic keystrokes across multiple characters. It was always our stance that that wasn't allowed; here's what we've stated previously:
"Players are allowed to own multiple accounts, but may not launch multiple game clients from the same computer. Players may not use any software to automate character actions or mimic keystrokes."

devout mountain
Sorry I'm very new here (just passed the 10 mins server acceptance), I've been thinking about buying one of the EA packages and from what you've said (that I can gather), you can buy individual cosmetics after purchasing a pack. My question is- Is there a difference in pricing between each months cosmetics? I have a friend who owns a pack and was telling me that he could see different cosmetics listed at different prices (so I am assuming that quality holds value which I understand), however does this also apply to the different monthly rotating limited skins? For instance if I bought the spooky Halloween skin pack, would they cost more/less than the autumn skin cosmetics?
alpine basin
Dumb question how do i get the new skins and what not if i preordered the 350 pack 2 months ago
digital yacht
log in and u should see them for sale individually
mystic sorrel
Just log in and go to shop. Each item will be available individually for much cheaper then a whole package. That answer blankets you two at the same time i think.
that's just if you have purchased a package previously.
devout mountain
I'm afraid I can't log in to see packages as I don't own any yet, so I was more asking out of curiosity
mystic sorrel
Ok well the pets are $15 small skins tend to be $5 mounts $20 as an example
devout mountain
Hence I was wondering if the monthly rotating skins have a static cost per skin item e.g. if last months pet skin will cost the same as the upcoming months pet skin (as in the shop ive been told there are pet skins of varying price)
ah okay, and the monthly rotations should have the same items, but different models, so the same pricing? (if so, thank you)

yeah...i dont have the option to individually buy them it is packages only

@jagged laurel I'm not sure about the Leaf Costume, but Costumes can have their hoods/helmets toggled on or off. I'm not sure if that would include the leaf Halo on the current costume tho
slim drift
I'm sure this question has been asked, but I can't find it on the forums. I saw a post about Creator Program opportunities, is there a link to apply for that, or at least with more information on it?
👍 thank you!

Hii, not sure if this has been answered but im trying to convince friends to check out AOC but they are super anti subscription. Will there be an option to use in game currency to fund the subscription? ((Similar to the wow token))
torpid tangle
No in game subscription funding but if they refer enough people they could technically fund their subscription if those people actively spend money on the game
woven vale
@burnt cliff Honestly, I find the best way is to explain why subscription is good is because it allows devs to continue to making good and high quality content
WoW Token will not exist.
steady ocean
@burnt cliff There is no box cost and no cost for future DLCs/expansions. $15 is an incredible deal that lets you test the game for a month to see if you want to continue playing. If you don't, fair play and you can quit without spending the $60+ like you do with WoW and other large name MMOs

Are there any better views of the cosmetics offered in pre-order packs? It is hard to see from the thumbnails.

Is the dragon cosmetic is for any gliding mounts or only dragon types?
queen swan
the current leaf drake cosmetic you mean?
rustic silo
yeah

Gliding and Royal
dark jungle
flying mounts or gliding mounts

it works for gliding and royal

Question I have a buddy that's a streamers and I have alpha-1 during the non NDA alpha would he be allowed to stream off of my account.
woven vale
I mean he could record footage and donate it
Or livestream himself just going on his friend's account (this one is a maybe)
But you can't give your account to your friend
Atleast not openly as that is against TOS
soft oar
I wouldn't give my account just let him play it for a stream
woven vale
Yes, that would be account sharing
Not allowed
You could however donate footage yourself
Or stream in his place with him talking with you
steady ocean
You can just screen share on discord and he could stream that as long as it is part of the non-NDA testing @soft oar
Pretty simple work around

Is the world gonna be sphere shaped
Like, go off the map one way, appear on the opposite side of the world

Lore wise yes
In-game wise no

Shoot
What about spaying and neutering animals like pets and mounts
That way you can sell stuff from your animal husbandry artisan class without worry that someone else will just breed them and sell their own
desert ivy
We dunno
sonic echo
Do you think that would be a good idea/mechanic @desert ivy ?
tender wedge
It would definitely boost the economic route for animal husbandry

@sonic echo They could do it like BDO, horses could only be bred a couple times, but atm they haven’t said much on the system

480 square kilometers; which is pretty large comparatively to other MMORPGs out there. Now that does not include the lapped spaces: So that is the Underrealm and the portion of the world that it encompasses, which could probably easily take up an additional hundredish square kilometers I would imagine.[4] – Steven Sharif

10.000 player per world, does that mean server will be able to serve 10.000 player at once or only 10.000 player can play on that server

That's about the size Andorra

The number given so far is 8-10k concurrent with 50k accounts registered per server. (those numbers may change) @fickle wigeon

Hi! Guys Just creatted an Un-Official Spanish AoC Reddit so that all of the spanish community can talk about the game on their own language. Where can I promote it?
(I mean it's not strictly a community creation so don't know where could I put it on the forums or in here)
Same question about a webpage I'll be soon launching (on spanish too)
ruby swift
Hmmm...that would be a @still wyvern Guidance. Don't know where they want that stuff.
bronze warren
oh thx unknown 🙂
still wyvern
Best to ask @plucky pawn or @tight gale about that one
ruby swift
All right! You are moving up the mountain. Keep pushing that boulder. Don't let it slip and crush us all!
bronze warren
Hahahah I'm just trying to settle a good base so that spanish community grows around the game. AoC is awesome and I really want to share it!
ruby swift
Well, it is 3am their time, could be a fair few hours till either of them are available. Just keep an eye out for regular NA business time. You could DM them, but could take a long time, since they get many, many in a day.
bronze warren
Yeah, asked in here cause Margaret told yestarday that she's like 3k DM
Got discord running all day long so I'll try tagging them again when they're up 🙂

The website can be added to #community-links once it's ready
If theres multiple ashes language subreddits i could add a spot for them on our reddit, i also believe it can be added to community links
I might have to reformat that channel for all the different language based communities coming up
crystal beacon
Dzongkha ashes reddit when?
tulip hatch
Well that would be something for that community to create
reef osprey
how will Ashes decide a tie in mayoral elections? 
crystal beacon
@reef osprey that should be up to the town itself
Trial by combat maybe
Or quizzes
reef osprey
Trial by combat sounds good
but a livestreamed quizshow i'd support as well
crystal beacon
Like I said that should be up to the town itself, creates a lot of RP opportunities
tulip hatch
Well since theres no official answer at the time you guys can continue this speculation in a discussion channel
Please and thank you

@tulip hatch that's cool! I've got Spanish Reddit ready and I've made some post myself, today I'm gonna start sharing it on my own channels and so 🙂

Just DM me once you have the website sorted out so i can add it in the community links section

@shut shoal I hope that's not lots of just empty spaces with nothing special to do rather than finding resources and killing mobs.
@tawny vale I guess that is where the node system will come in and guide us. So around nodes that have progressed it will be more focused with activity and grow the more the node grows
There should be empty spaces aswell imo. New possibilities for people to try and grow new nodes and create new areas of interest

is there a place to see what the past cosmetic packs were other than on the aoc instagram? i know they’re not buyable anymore, just curious about what has been available in the past

paper lynx
Hello! Might be a dumb Q but I haven't been able to figure it out own my own yet. I haven't been keeping tabs on AOC in a while, but the alpha announcements had me diving back into the news and such.
I'm trying to figure out what my alpha/beta access level is based on what sort of pack I bought in the past. I can see how much money I spent when I log into the website via the purchase history page, but I can't find a spot saying "you have such and such access"
Is there a page that shows this info when logged in? Or some place that shows the old crowdfunding/preorder packs so I can cross reference it with the purchase amount?
full badger
@paper lynx Hi there. On your ashes of Creation profile (https://accounts.ashesofcreation.com/profile) there is a button on the right hand side called "View Inventory". Click that and it should give you a rundown of everything on your account including testing access
full badger
No worries

Will there be an energy system in the game to do stuff, like farming mining ect. to prevent botting?

There is no energy/labor system no
there will be other measures in place to prevent botting without limiting systems

We were told that you will have a comfortable amount of alts
But honestly, I could get behind that
lean burrow
it really gives you that your living a second virtual life so you have to think carefully with what you choose to do
mossy scaffold
i just wanna check if understand correctly about the preorder packs, if you want to buy a later lets say armor individually you would need to have bought one of the highest tiers packs, correct?
onyx knoll
more specifically you would have to have purchased THE highest one for the costume
mossy scaffold
qi see
well im not spending 375 bucks to be able to get some armor, hopefully the game have some good designs left when it launches
lean burrow
thats what im worried about
they should use these sets are raid items
or challenge unlocks
woven vale
These items are exclusive, reskins may appear, but the exact item will be unobtainable; also please take this to #aoc-discussion
mossy scaffold
just a random example then, so could for example, another version of lets say this months armor appear but green then? am i understanding right?
woven vale
Yes, it could just have a huge color change
mossy scaffold
i see,
woven vale
This was originally a no go, but Steven has reconsidered due to complaint
mossy scaffold
aight ty
one last question though, when we come back to november next year will it be the same outfit/cosmetic packs as now or will it be some thing completely different, aka, will it be 12 rotating packs or will it be a different one each month until the release of the game
onyx knoll
this was last november's pack, so we can assume next year's will be different as well
seeing as they've said multiple times that once a pre-order skin is gone, it's gone forever, it wouldn't be very exclusive if it came back the next year :3
woven vale
Once a skin is gone it's gone forever.
New cosmetics will come next year, different to this year @mossy scaffold
mossy scaffold

So, after some reading, I got another question:
Freehold houses are out in the open, right? And every player can only have one of those per account.
Wouldn't that fill the landscape with loads and loads of freeholds?
onyx knoll
Their size is restricted, and there is a loooot of room on the map. Plus, you can only place a freehold in a rank 3+ node, so many areas won't have any freeholds
dapper cove
Freeholds are very expensive to build, so not everybody will have a freehold. And the locations for freeholds is also limited, they can't be put down just anywhere you like
deft cliff
okay, nice! I was a little afraid to not find any more proper landscape without houses 😅
Are there limitations where you can put freeholds?
apart from the rank 3+ node?
onyx knoll
!wiki freeholds
tender hearthBOT
dapper cove
Level 3+ nodes, and the terrain has to be able to accomodate it
deft cliff
awesome, thanks once more for the help!
onyx knoll
"Freeholds may be placed anywhere within the ZOI of a stage 3 node (or higher) so long as they are not in close proximity to any of the following:[11]
Pathing routes (Roadways).[11]
Dungeons and other points of interest (POIs) regardless of advancement.[11][12][13]
Spawn areas.[11]
Other freehold plots.[11]
Hard terrain features, such as mountainsides or cliffs.[14]"
crystal beacon
Nice ;p
dapper cove
Freeholds, as with housing, can be shared with "family". So if you and a group of friends combine resources you can all share a freehold, but one person will be the registered owner
At least thats how I understood it from one of the dev updates
visual stone
will quests be voice acted?
full badger
There are currently no plans to have voice acted quests @visual stone

wild trellis
Question:
Lots of MMO got expensive items that players can buy that works as gold sink. Like uber expensive mounts and what not. With that in mind, aside bidding to become mayor, what is the purpose of gold in AoC? What can you actually buy with it that makes it worth or interesting to become rich?
full badger
Gold pieces will typically be a lot less common in Ashes than in other mmorpgs (wolves won't drop sacks of gold for example). But to answer your question, gear will need to be regularly repaired, housing will probably cost a lot and there are taxes to be paid to the nodes to stop them from delevelling. @wild trellis
bronze warren
and remember that you can change your secondary arquetipe, so if you need different gear, you'll need even farming for a drop piece or being able to buy different sets on your own
(in the case you're not crafter)
crystal beacon
@full badger so we are going to be thrown into extreme poverty
tender wedge
I am no sure if this has been asked but if a player refuses to pay their taxes(or worse causes a revolt and a large majority don't pay) how will the mayor have to deal with this rebellion?
crystal beacon
@tender wedge suppress the rebels
desert ivy
You can't refuse to pay your freehold taxes
If you don't pay, your freehold automatically gets destroyed
hidden urchin
Invisible repo goblins eat your house
tender wedge
OK awesome! Didn't know if it was a system like the tavern where you can't kick or ban players and have to forcefully remove them or not
woven vale
Not paying taxes means you lose your house, or whatever you're paying taxes for.
The mayor doesn't need to enforce this as the game does it for him.
sinful nebula
If i buy one of the pack on the website , can i swap the cosmetic from the pack to a later released pack if i prefer it ?
sinful nebula
Can you use the currency gained from buying your pack to get the cosmetics or do you have to spend more money ?
woven vale
No, Embers will only be usable on game release
sinful nebula
Alright thanks
stray hinge
Is there any way to buy the pack without the Embers, I really want access to the Betas but I don't really want the ig currency
woven vale
No, packs are bundled with all the items, I personally see embers/game time as a bonus @stray hinge
woven vale
No open beta will ocur
desert ivy
There aren't any plans for open beta

Will there be a transmogrification system for character appearance, and if so, what sort of limitations would be put on them? Could a wizard wear full plate if they so chose to use that appearance?

yes
@limber prawn no limits as any class can wear any gear, transmog applies this rule, however the team said they may have a buff be a indicator of true gear being cloth etc.
but a mage could be wear plate transmog as per your question

Do mount models scale up or down to better suit your character's race? Like if youre a big orc on the tidebreaker otter...isnt that gonna look a little ridiculous?
