do we know about any skills that move other creatures/players? like shoving people away or hooking them towards yourself?
@hushed sable the game will also have momentum and collision. Just by running into a player you will be able to move them to a degree. This is designed to prevent people blocking doorways for example.

@dark jungle we really should change that to say Artisan Branches instead of “skill trees”. Artisan tree has 3 branches. Each branch has professions (leaves).
jovial oar
how much storage capacity will be needed for the game or is that yet to be decided ?
quaint coral
More financial support for the awesome Devs? 😏 but in all seriousness, I assume there will be some small benefit that you would find in any other MMO? Maybe banking space? Though I would say alts probably fill that role.
But other than that, another Freehold is probably the biggest, seeing as they're likely to be fairly important.
swift condor
@desert ivy from their web page it states each sub type will have a different feel. Sounds more like 64 not 8. So is there any information on how they plan on balancing 8-64 classes where they are competive or will this be another case of Tier levels of usefulness?
steady ocean
They are balancing based on group play, not 1v1
swift condor
how does that insure balance?
steady ocean
1v1s will be imbalanced and some archetypes/classes will perform better in PVP. In PVE it will depend on the situation
quaint coral
I thought it was 8 base classes who's base abilities are augmented by the second class?
Perhaps I misunderstood though =)
steady ocean
@quaint coral Primary archetype + secondary archetype = class
swift condor
Secondary classes in our game are more than just another list of spells and skills to add to your hotbar. They’re not secondary in name only, as each one brings in unique augments that fundamentally change how the primary class skills work, what they’re called, and what they do. A Warden must feel uniquely different from a Spell Hunter, and a Beastmaster must feel unique when partnered up with a Necromancer.
straight from their web page
steady ocean
primary archetype grants skills, secondary archetype grants augments that change the primary skills in various ways
quaint coral
Aye, that's what through me off I guess. You have your base skills from the first 'half' of your class, and the second half augments the initial classes's set up. So it's less balancing a whole lot of classes, but rather balancing the altercations of each of the 8 classes
Either way, it's not balanced for 1v1
steady ocean
Not balanced for 1v1, correct.
swift condor
any mmo vet can already guess this is going to be impossible to balance for ANY circumstance. Which will lead to prefered class types for most situations. Im curious if they have spoken about this and how they plan to tackle it
quaint coral
It's balanced for group v group
swift condor
how?
steady ocean
It's less about balancing 64 classes as it is balancing 8 archetypes for group play of 8/16/40. Then they can fine tune the classes based on player feedback/testing.
swift condor
saying it doesnt make it so
steady ocean
This is probably a better topic for #aoc-discussion An interesting one for sure though.
quaint coral
^
swift condor
.. this is the quesitions channel? The question is : has there been discussion on balancing from the Devs considering there a wide berth of classes to manage and how do they plan to tackle it?
steady ocean
Yes, and we told you.
swift condor
where?
steady ocean
Anything else is open ended speculation which belongs in #aoc-discussion
swift condor
uhh so asking if there is a link to a dev discussion on class balance is now open ended...
steady ocean
Literally look at all of my answers. It answers your question. That's what the devs have said so far.
steady ocean
swift condor
or video?
steady ocean
very simple search on the wiki "balance"
swift condor
thanks!
swift condor
We have our eight base archetypes; and the trinity is a pretty strong influence with regards to the eight base classes. However the area in which we actually begin to play with that line between the trinity is in the secondary classes that you can pick. That's where we begin to blend those spaces and allow people a little bit of influence over their role and whether or not they fit perfectly within a particular category within the trinity.[7] – Steven Sharif
seems a bit of counter to there own statement if we are going to nitpik mate.

SO not that one's know out

@swift condor if ur talking PvP balance that is balanced based on an 8v8 perspective not 1v1
swift condor
So balancing 8v8 is going to be easier than 1v1....
sure
not what im getting at though
steady ocean
Please ask a specific question so we can try and help ya. Otherwise it may be better to discuss the topic in #aoc-discussion
swift condor
kinda new but Im reviewing a few things. PvX - does that mean there will be areas PvE players tackling those world bosses will be protected from PvP?
digital yacht
no
steady ocean
No
swift condor
so those guys will need protection while doing world quests? Or are those areas controled and hard to reach?
steady ocean
Yes, they will need to be able to defend themselves or hire player/NPC guards
digital yacht
i mean all they have to do is fight back, if they arent comfortable yes, they will need to hire protection
swift condor
which brings us full circle to the balance issues.
have they spoke on gear or such?
will it be the same for pve and pvp?
quaint coral
Sorta, the game is focused on community being a major factor it's not PvP hard mode WoW
digital yacht
whats the issue? saying there is an issue before the full spectrum of classes/gear/etc has been fully flushed out
quaint coral
So it premotes playing with others indirectly in this way.
swift condor
so yes the gear is the same?
digital yacht
there is no PvP specific gear
steady ocean
Yes, same for both

peak orchid
Is there gonna be quests like the jenafur quest from WOW for like secret mounts or items?
quaint coral
Do you mean in the sense that there are things that the Devs are intentionally keeping hidden for us to find, (if so, yes) or do you mean like a technical meta type stuff? Like the Ba'al or Unna pet, that kinda take some game breaking logic to find?
@peak orchid
peak orchid
Little of both
quaint coral
On pure speculation, I'd say it's not likely they'd implement anything too immersion breaking, as it feels like they're intending on Rp to feel very welcome. WoW is unfortunately so immersion breaking even from a non-subjective point, ( though that may even be in my own opinion) that the devs are willing to break all grounds to make stuff
But, ofc this is purely speculation on my own end and anything is possible in the time before launch and after
peak orchid
Oh ok
quaint coral
That isn't to say they won't have hard to find secrets. Just might not be as absurd as needing people to dig through code to find.
tepid harbor
Will there be a hearthstone/freehold port mechanic ?

No, Intrepid don't want lots of teleporting/fast travelling around everywhere

Do we know if there's going to be something similar to FF14's Aesthetician or WoW's barber in AoC? Post-character creation customization is a really good feature, and I'm absolutely someone that spends an inordinate amount of time going back and changing small things about my character's appearance, including things like hairstyle and such.
fading valley
i'm 45% sure it's been mentioned before
wet kernel
something like that was in Star wars galaxies as well if I recall
fading valley
here's what you can do. In the news aoc section, there is the chance to ask any question. You could ask them if they plan to release a character builder seperately, simillary to other MMOS in the past. That way you can spend as much time as you want! @buoyant sapphire
They're doing a Q and A on the 30th
buoyant sapphire
Not a bad idea. Thanks for the recommendation.
wet kernel
I know they are considering one prelaunch
crystal beacon
Okay two questions: 1) Will there be bikini armor? (I am talking like Vanilla WoW level stuff, the good stuff.)
2.) If I do my second class after max in Cleric - and I start as Rogue - will I have access to in combat healing? (Think like the Scoundrels from Star Wars the Old Republic)
desert ivy
No to the Bikini armour. Steven doesn't like that kinda stuff.
What do you mean by "If I do my second class after max in Cleric - and I start as Rogue"
Your primary archetype (the one you pick when making the character) determines all your skills. The secondary archetype (the one you pick at level 25 and can change) determines how your primary archetypes skills get augmented
So if you went Rogue + Cleric, it's possible that maybe you could have an augment for your backstab that healed you for X amount of damage
but we know next to nothing about actual augments yet so that's just guessing
round cargo
What do you mean my bikini doesn't work as armor?!

@fading valley Character builder is planned to be released separately before main launch.

Its not false. Just outdated. things change

uneven valley
Cross server grouping a thing or are we going strictly server based
desert ivy
There may be cross server for Arenas, but other than that no
buoyant sapphire
It's extremely important to keep the servers isolated from one another. Drops and resources available in one server may not be available in another; this means that even something as simple as a server transfer is likely off the table.
smoky token
It seems that sieges and pvp look real cool, and seems to be mostly consisting of players. Among that, will there be mooks or grunts also in the battles or will it be purely pvp?
Cuz I think it'd look aesthetically cool if there were mobs, but performance might take a hit
grizzled latch
Sieges will have npcs that help to at least defend. Also there will be events where monsters attack cities. The kickstarter packs included monster tokens so you can participate in such an event as a monster and are rewarded cosmetics for performing well as a monster.
smoky token
That's cool
Another question, the armor itself is already amazing and far better than any other mmo i've really seen. Are there plans to perhaps include more pieces that could perhaps look a little more true to life of real armors?
King Henry's Dolphin armor
deft cliff
I think we haven't seen many armor sets up until now, and if the scope of AoC will be similar to that of other AAA MMOs then I'm pretty sure there will be proper "knightish" armorsets
they will probably be plate or chainmail tho, so if you like those, maybe dont play a wizard lol
smoky token
idk man wizard tank in heavy armor with the goal of being the most annoying thing to pvp seems to be heaven for me 
jovial oar
Being able to have different armour for you class is very appealing as hardly any games allow you to break away from what is already set out by the devs, they have a mage and generally have one armour set as cloth for example as it’s very limited
buoyant pasture
Will there be titles ingame that people can see when they click on your character ingame?
And will there also be an option to display my total pvp kills for everyone to see, if they click on my character?
I thought that that was a cool feature in archeage 🙂

@buoyant pasture There will be titles in game, although we don't have an extensive list of different titles yet. I don't know if you'll be able to display your total pvp kills to other players.

When might we hope to see a finalized list of gathering, processing, and crafting professions from the artisan system? Not asking for a specific date just a best guess that I understand is not an official announcement date; just a rough time frame. Also, are the developers on the team that had worked on star wars galaxies working on the artisan system? That game had one of the best crafting systems I had ever seen in an mmo.
Ironically I just rewatched your video on it ><
ruby swift
They have some developers that were on the SWG team, that they are specifically working on the artisan systems has not been confirmed. There are no dates on a "finalized" list of profs
There is no way to give you a window, because they don't know how long alpha testing will need to be.
glossy river
is there a way i can paly this game early?
desert ivy
By buying one of the alpha/beta packs on the store
There is no way to play the game right now though regardless of what pack you buy
fading valley
If it happens, it'll happen during the testing if they dont have enough players
crystal beacon
No to the Bikini armour. Steven doesn't like that kinda stuff.
Ah man...so no nordic warrior goddess then. Well if that is the case then it makes sense...
Your primary archetype (the one you pick when making the character) determines all your skills. The secondary archetype (the one you pick at level 25 and can change) determines how your primary archetypes skills get augmented

how do you link ur discord with ur account?
onyx knoll
Currently that isn't something we offer, if you need a special tag, like Braver of World, then you should send a ticket to support and they can manually add it once they've confirmed you have the required packs
glacial walrus
is “Warrior of Old” a title/role we can get for the discord?

okidoki, thanks @plucky pawn!
are there discussions of giving player character’s racial skins an ice/fire visual? like frost dwarves or fire orcs?
(or other elemental effects)
onyx knoll
currently the only cosmetic that would do something like that completely overwites the race of the character. They haven't mentioned if they will make some different ones that are specifically for the other races, it's something we might eventually have but it's not been confirmed https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Fire_and_frost
jovial oar
From what I've read there is fall damage but is there a set damage you take or from a higher height you will take more damage/die from too high of a height
okay, thanks for letting me know 🙂
oak depot
if you can die from falling, and they have inertia/momentum due to collision physics... do I get corruption for knocking someone off a cliff and them dying?
perhaps with the added "assuming they were non-combatant flagged"

you probably do as u pushed them off and they died as a result from that action but that's a guess
crystal beacon
Is there a limit to how many metropolises a server can have?
torpid tangle
yup
The node system prevents metropolises from appearing right next to each other so it's unlikely that there will be more than 3 or 4 from what I've seen of the map
full badger
There can be a maximum of 5 metropolis on a server @crystal beacon
torpid tangle
^
rain spade
Is the 5 metropolis limit a hard one, or are the zones going to be arranged in such a way that, with 'optimal' spacing the most you could see is 5? (Which imples most servers would only have 3-4 most of the time)
torpid tangle
nah 5 is max
optimal spacing
"Because of how nodes relate to one another, there can be no more than five metropolises in existence at any time" - from the wiki
remote axle
5 Metro's Zone of Influence will cover 20% of the map each. So its a hard cap at 5.
rain spade
maybe I'm using the terms wrong
a hard cap would be there is a limit of 5 metropolises as a rule that defines the world
a soft cap would be the world is designed in such a way that even if the server all worked together to build specific nodes, the most they could possibly attain would be 5, due to the shape of the zones of influence
jovial oar
if they expand the world then it would increase so I'm going with a soft cap as a guess, only issue I've had with an mmorpg expanding the maps is they focus too much attention on the expansion and the default areas suffers a great deal due to bugs or neglect from devs
plucky pawn
Correct, in this instance it is a hard cap based on the way that nodes vassalize each other
rain spade
so would it be possible to have a node that's level 5 and not a vassal, but prevented from ranking up by the global limit?
jovial oar
oh i see
rain spade
ahhh
the zois are dynamic
I was imagining that it would be a rough radius, and so if you have a node at the middle of a landmass, it would be less 'efficient' than having one on either end
having them butt up against each other makes sense
plucky pawn
correct, the more advanced a node is, the larger its ZOI is 😄
rain spade
that's super helpful, thank you
short flint
ZOIs are bullies
jovial oar
getting to a lvl 6 node is going to be hard with other people wanting the node they are building to 6 first,
oak depot
@jovial oar right, luckily there are PvP solutions to those problems
jovial oar
Very true
oak depot
Question - can a node Advance to a new stage while in a node siege declaration period? Or is XP gain and atrophy locked when a declaration is made?
remote axle
Skimmed through the wiki and there does not seem to be an answer I could find. Seems like certain in-node services are closed but nothing about advancement
crystal beacon
So we can get all skills of the artisan system to a basic level but only master a few in one of the three choices?

ruby swift
Question - can a node Advance to a new stage while in a node siege declaration period? Or is XP gain and atrophy locked when a declaration is made?
@oak depot Definitely a good question needing clarification. We know they can adjust different parameters. Like a level 3 not being able to be sieged for the month after "pop." (The week for the election process, and 3 weeks after that.)

True, but we have no idea of when it will be or even if there will be, before the December preview alpha one .
grim breach
You can do any of the jobs in any of the artisan classes, but you can only master jobs from one artisan class.
So you can craft, gather, process all you want. But if you want to master something, it can be from only one of the 3 classes.
So once you have mastered, say, Fishing from the Gathering artisan class, you will be locked to mastering only professions from Gathering class from here onwards.
(I assume this is how the locking into only one class for mastering works. They have yet to reveal how the locking mechanism work, I believe.)
You know what, this page should do a better job of explaining it. https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Artisan_mastery

Hello just a question asking for one of my friends interested in the new AOC pack available at the moment. He is a backer from kickstarter that already has a lot of the offered values of the pack excluding the cosmetics. Is there a de valued price available to backers at all? Paying full price of the pack so make the cosmetics available for singular purchase for the future packs is extremely expensive.

Actually scratch that he's x2 an idiot sorry. He bought the $45 backer pack. It isn't de valued, he didnt scroll over and thought the 250 was the 375 pack de valued.

The month packs are same price. The Kickstarter upgrades are the cheaper
And he can buy cosmetics based on the kickstarter pack tier
rancid plume
$45 one he cant purchase anything individually
silk tapir
Well can still upgrade to higher Kickstarter packs then to get access. No other way to get there unfortunately
crystal flax
KS should be able to purchase pieces individually, and I don't think there was ever a $45 package, the two lowest were 25 and 50, maybe have him double check the name of which package he got to be sure?

There was a 45 pack (50 with limited amount) afaik

You right, the page shifts around the order of all the early bird stuff

Yeah, a while
crystal flax
A while back they updated some things on it so his account might just need to migrate over to the newer system still if it's been long enough, I'd say give it a day or two and if he still doesn't see the individual pieces to put in a CS ticket
rancid plume
Sure, I'll pass that on. Thanks guys
hidden crane
and if he wants to upgrade his access, he should upgrade his KS pack, not purchase a store pack
crystal flax
I thought the original question was about having access to individual cosmetics unless I misunderstood
rancid plume
Yeah he's just looking for access to the individual cosmetics without having to flip out a further $600 for the pack here in Aus dollars.

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Artisan_classes Wiki explains it
TLDR: Pick your class (Tank/Mage/Cleric etc) - > You can also choose a profession (Artisan class - Gathering, Processing, Crafting)
native crystal
Yeah but it doesnt say how the profession progression works. It says you will be able to master better tools but not how you go to that stage. Is it with character level?
fading valley
Have you ever played a mmo before?
Its like all then others. The more you do something the better you get
The more crafting you do, the better you get, the better tools you can use
balmy juniper
as a gatherer you are actually self sufficient with tools
no need for crafters to do it for you
native crystal
Have you ever played a mmo before?
@fading valley no xd. Well im playing a different kind which involves skillplan where u develop yourself
fickle grotto
Thats fair, lets say you were fishing. When you catch a fish - you gain profession XP. Eventually enough to progress through the skill. When you dont catch a fish you dont get the profession xp.
remote axle
@native crystal like Naylor said, actively using the Artisan Class will progress your character in the Artisan Skill tree. So the more you gather/process or craft, the more you level said Artisan Class.

Why is there no SEA-guild-recruitment chat channel?
ruby swift
Because the size of the community doesn't warrant it currently. There is something like a single SEA guild recruiting regularly atm.
They will revisit that decision closer to launch based on interest.
thorn pecan
I see, thanks.
ruby swift
They are able to put their recruitment in one of the others if needed. Can't remember which. @ a red named mob and they can tell you if you need that answer.

Why is there a specific german/french community in stead of a general EU?

Alright

Because those are the languages that were going to be supported under the MY.Games deal.
They may rethink those once the EU publishing arm is set up by Intrepid.

once the new CMs are brought in the discord formatting will undergo changes
Along with the addition of mods that fall under those supported languages

Yes. All node types are pre-determined and the same across all the servers @crystal beacon

so i was looking at the packs.. and didnt see one to get into a alpha one testing or pre alpha testing? is there one, and also, will you be able to keep your characters stats in alpha or will you have to do a hard restart
full badger
@misty path Hi there. Unfortunately there is no way to buy into Alpha 1 right now. The most you can do is buy into Alpha 2 by purchasing either the $250 or $375 packs. Server resets are planned throughout the various testing phases
digital yacht
^ which means everything is wiped u will start at the very bottom on server launch
misty path
I mean i like that... everyone starts on equal footing... there was a time when characters where server locked.. which is no longer the case.. but you could always enter a new server and be on the same foot... i play BDO alot now... and without server locked characters im so far behind everyone else it is ridiculous
digital yacht
Characters will be server locked

With most likely no server transfers, Atleast not in the beginning

@full badger > Yes. All node types are pre-determined and the same across all the servers @crystal beacon
@full badger
When you say the nodes are predetermined in regards to type, are you meaning that if a group of friends and I go to a new, wild node and level it up, it will be predeterminded as, let's say, an economic node? Or will the founders be able to decide the node's type once it reaches the appropriate node level?
Gotcha, didn't realize that, thanks 👌🏼

Once guild perks are listed and Alliances are fully defined you'll need to weigh up your options on guildsize vs alliances
grizzled latch
I'm pretty sure 50 is the number steven said for minimum full guild, granted its all still highly subject to change. No perks have been announced so in the end it might turn out to be minimal enough that the perks are just a bonus for small guilds and fairly irrelevant to larger ones.

Are there any plans to make AoC available via Amazon Luna? Possibly setting up an "Intrepid channel" (like Ubisoft will do) which covers your subscription costs? EDIT: The benefit that I see from that is I don't have to buy a gaming PC every 3-5 years.
remote axle
Not that has been planned no. But things can change in the future.

IDK anything about Luna, why wouldn't you need to upgrade your PC?
grim breach
Probably something similar like Microsoft xCloud or any other cloud gaming services.
full badger
There are currently no plans to release Ashes of Creation on any third party platfirm or streaming service @bold bear
fickle abyss
Stadia should be possible with almost no work from Intrepid but yeah officially nothing.
@bold bear if you buy smart you can upgrade a subset of components every 3 years. GPU every 6, cpu, mobo, ram every 6. You will have to obviously drop settings in time but if you buy the right stuff then yeah the costing isn't that bad. Technically works out cheaper than game streaming services in the long run.
People tend to overspend outside of their plausible budget when it's not necessary. Getting x570 or z490 chipset, i7s or Ryzen 7s and up is generally only for people with a lot of disposable income.
Or content creators of course.

In regards to content in dungeons that is gated by the presence of one class (mage can teleport to that place, noone else can etc)is there going to be adicional bosses (and loot) there? there might be a problem with BiS

@velvet spear I don't have an up to date PC. My work's PC (which I have at home due to COVID) is reasonable (Intel 4 core 3.7GHz, 24Gb RAM), but installing games on it isn't a good idea! I guess I'm going to need to familiarize myself with gaming PC hardware performance vs. costs.

@vapid veldt They have previously said that while certain classes may have abilities or augments that allow for "shortcuts" to an area, that there will be no areas that will be inaccessible due to a single class being or not being in a group. Example given was the poison gas that could be dispelled at the entrance to a particular dungeon. While the cleric would make it easier, there are other ways to get past it without a cleric. Or a secret door detected by a mage or rogue, there would be an alternate path to where those lead, just might take much longer to get the same result.

are mounts shared between characters on the same account?

Yeah mounts will be character bound
quaint coral
Part in due, I speculate, to the taming system/husbandry system

this whole multiple characters still confuses me slightly for some reason XD
quaint coral
Elaborate, what's confusing?
small pecan
Mounts are both vertical and horizontal progression, so saving them across an entire account would give new characters power for free
woeful notch
idk just feel confused when i think about it. like is each character completely independent from each other? join seperate guilds, be in different parties, etc
small pecan
Cosmetically no, power-wise and social-wise, yes? Think that’s the general idea
quaint coral
Sorta? Like Fil said cosmetics will cross characters
But the game heavily inspires and even premotes community relationships, and interaction

I believe the only things shared account wise are cosmetics + player housing is account bound, not character

You can affect your alts, by affecting and interacting with the community

hmmm okay i somewhat get it now

Will you be able to claim a character name and a guild name in Alpha 2 and will the names be whipped if you have purchased the Voyager Plus Pack?
fickle grotto
(In bold)
desert ivy
Guild name reservations are exclusive to Kickstarter backers who backed Braver of Worlds
fickle grotto
Stuff in Alpha-2 May carry over to Beta but at launch its wiped. Reservations will happen at launch
frigid ridge
@simple ether that's what I meant I bought the most expensive one I would have bought the previous packs before they left the market if I would have found out about Ashes of Creation sooner.
But does the name get whipped after Alpha 2 phase?
onyx knoll
If you have a name reservation, you will get an email with all the details when they start the process
As far as I know, it will reserve your name on one server of your choice, for all testing phases and obviously for release
frigid ridge
Kk cool I have the email with the receipt for my purchase but other than that there has been no email of any additional information about the pack itself or any of its credentials.
cosmic vale
How do castles work?
frigid ridge
Kk I will just wait for the email to be sent for further information. Thank you for your time patience and information.
ruby swift
Stuff in Alpha-2 May carry over to Beta but at launch its wiped. Reservations will happen at launch
@fickle grotto Name reservations are meant to happen before launch. They are part of your account and have nothing to do with the testing servers. Whether names can or will be reserved during the testing phases is still being looked at. Wipes of testing phases will occur as needed, and yes, they have repeatedly stated that nothing from testing to launch will carry over.
fickle grotto
What I was referring to is character names and characters in general during Alpha-2 may still be preserved into the Beta-1 and Beta-2. The name Reservation is meant for launch as in not the development environment
Sorry My english wasn't clear enough on the matter
ruby swift
Ahh, yes, it is a small difference. The process to reserve your name (which will be for a single live server) is meant to happen before launch. It would not matter till then. There is however an ongoing discussion on whether names will persist from testing phase to testing phase on those servers. So if you are Naylor in the April/May testing next year, you would continue to be Naylor as an option in further tests. Since there has already been some confusion when testers have selected a name that someone has already used in testing. "I remember that guy Naylor from last month, he is on my kill-on-sight list, get em boys!" and it turns out to be someone totally different.
Name reservations will begin during Alpha-1.[6]
!wiki name reservations
tender hearthBOT
fickle grotto
Yep. Sure I can agree with that. Since Alpha-2 is persistent until launch, wiping of characters may happen, I expect people can just create a new character when new content is out too.

Have they said if they will offer servers with different prime time windows even if their servers are in the same time zone? Say two servers GMT-4, one has prime time 4-7 pm, the other 7-10pm?

Is trading/selling only availeble in therefor forseen structures in a node or will it also be possible to do direct player to player trading without taxes?

I haven't specifically seen a direct comment if node advancements will be in an announcement channel but I think its pretty likely that there will be some ingame world wide announcement when a node reaches 4+.
Thats a significant enough event that it wouldn't be spammy, and im sure the wiki will be nearly instantly updated with the info too. Im sure someone will make a bot to record and update node levels across all servers.

@crystal beacon they have talked about there being a record of the server kept in some kind of libary building in the game.

Alpha 2 will be a persistent alpha so if you are worried about dates for it and if you can participate then be at ease. It will be live most of the time at that point. Only going down for maintenance and updates/ crashes.

Will caste and node sieges be instanced?
So a passerby and see the epic battle but not interact with the players?
bronze warren
non registered combatants are not permitted on the siege field or node field
not instanced, but you won't be able to get super close to the fight most probably
quaint coral
Actually that answers in a sense a concern if mine-dealing with one group of attackers only to be seiged right afterwards by another group. Do we know win conditions for defenders? Or if there is a limit to who may participate/ a grace period between sieges? I don't recall seeing answers and this is probably more questions than one, but wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything.
bronze warren
sieges are scheduled for prime time so, that won't really happen
the main problem is that castle siege and node siege could happen at same time and that would be a problem in the case that the same guild as to participate on both xD
quaint coral
Awesome thank to both of you. =)
Sounds more like a strategy to divide and conquer @bronze warren and assuming the castle is next to or near said node, it adds an interesting RP element of this region is literally being invaded.
But, I agree since Nodes appears higher on the totem pole than guilds, it does create a weird conflt
Conflict*
bronze warren
Right now we know that there's 5 castles per server and every castle has 3 nodes submitted. So the castle will be quite afar from a "Normal Node"
so, yup, a whole region could be in peril XD
quaint coral
But the castle is owned by guilds no? It gives value to the guild, but if the two nodes in question happen to be one or both of the guild members "home" (which is worse case scenario) then it really becomes kinda messy
bronze warren
yeah that's what i mean, the case that a castle is on siege and the home node of that guild is on peril too
quaint coral
All I gotta say to you future town creators is: allies are important. Actually, that brings up a question, can a neighboring (non connected node) defend another node. For clarification I will use an analogy: If town A and Town B are allied and town C attacks Town B, but town B is currently fighting town D, can town A defend town B?
I imagine this is still being worked out. But just in case there is an answer
bronze warren
you have to register on a siege to participate so If town A wants to help town B, suppose they'll have to register before the siege
but sieges are scheduled and the register will close some time before the battle so, it will have to be a premetitated pact i do suppose
silent wagon
Can a guild that owns a node hire another guild to attack their node and make them lose the siege so that the node can't be attacked for some time?
rain spade
Nodes are made up of individuals
Those individuals might have a guild association, but there's no hard connection
whereas Castles are owned by guilds, regardless of who comes and goes in the guild

velvet spear
I dunno how I feel about that. I kinda like the chaos something like Planetside had where you never really knew when a massive group would come and destroy you. What if I wanted to do a Riders of Rohan during the siege?
ruby swift
You could always register as an attacker and wait till the second hour of the siege to come in. But this is more theorycrafting than answers based on actual information given.
hushed sable
did the team address how they would deal with one faction having more players than the other? in terms of pvp
because in other games the zerg is real
velvet spear
Build bigger alliances. Use spies and subterfuge to break up existing ones.
I'm pretty sure they want to be fairly hands off when it comes to player politics.
hushed sable
so if a 300 person guild wants to kill some world boss, nobody except for another 300 person guild could really contest it
quaint coral
I mean. A 300 person guild won't receive the buff of a 50 man guild and if that 50 man guild is far more geared.... It's theoretically plausible they could ruin the day of those 300
Just not likely
velvet spear
Or multiple smaller guilds. Alliances will be a big part of your success in end game.
hushed sable
I won't completely disparage alliances, I've just never seen them work in any game. pretty sure 300 people guilds will have fairly good control over most of the world when it comes to pvp, but I guess I'll just accept that
the rest of the game seems really good and the devs have good will
quaint coral
It depends. We don't entirely know what perks will be given to smaller guilds (unless I missed that) they may very well benefit a guild enough to tip the scale.

@ruby swift the terminology is a bit confusing, I can totally see that 😅 there was a previous pre-order pack available at the highest level that still included Alpha One Access, which was technically called the "Intrepid Pre-Order Pack".

The likelihood is very high for Sydney or Melbourne based OCE servers. OCE servers may not be provisioned until Beta for Ashes of Creation (the MMO) and live launch for Ashes of Creation Apocalypse.
Other server regions will be considered based on interest. South America is under consideration due to traffic from that region.

Anyone know how loot dropping will work? I remember something along the lines of world resources gathered throughout the world can drop from your inventory if you die even if you are not flagged?
full badger
That is correct. When you die, a percentage of your gathered and processed items will drop. The amount depends on your flagged status. Non-combatants drop a "normal" amount. Combatants drop half the amount as non-combatants, and corrupted players drop 4 times as much as non-combatants. @fickle abyss

Thanks thanks! Thought as much.

Another question that is almost impossible to answer right now. The devs have said they want to put in "challenging" PvE content but that is entirely subjective. We won't get a good sense of exactly how hard the game will be until much later on in development.

Heyo! Could someone please explain to me this part of the pre-order packs?
'In addition to the cosmetic items granted with the Voyager Plus Pre-Order Pack at the time of purchase, you will also be entitled to purchase future monthly cosmetics as add-ons for the Voyager Plus Level Pre-Order Pack and below.'
Is this in Beta? or after launch? Do you use embers to purchase the items or real money? And for how long will you be able to buy these? only the months they are released or also after that?
full badger
@sharp bronze That is referring to the cosmetics included in the pre-order packs, which change every month. Simply put, once you have bought a pack you can purchase the cosmetics from future months as individual items
sharp bronze
Okay so you buy them separate with money, not with embers, correct?
full badger
Correct. Embers will only be used once the game fully launches
sharp bronze
Alright. and let's say, I would wanna buy separately the armour. is the armour, 1 full skin, or multiple pieces like, Helmet, gloves, pants etc.
full badger
Looking at that picture, the "Accessory" is a single piece that goes with a specific armour slot on your character. You can mix and max these as much as you want. The "Costume" is a one-piece cosmetic that covers your entire character model
remote axle
The armors usually comes in sets
sharp bronze
Yea in set, but like. can you put on the helmet only, or the gloves only, instead of it always only being a full skin you put on.
Hmm alright
Thank you!

nah, its like Misty said, its one cosmetic slot for the entire armor

Like I said, the "costume" is a single piece that covers your entire character model

Would it be allowed to have multiple guilds in an alliance with you or one of your close friends alts leading the multiple guilds? Or would this not be allowed by the games mechanics? And if it is will there be any serious losses as far as benefits go if done?
velvet spear
Every guild has it's own skill tree. So if you put skill points in guild size you can grow to a maximum of 300, but if you don't put any points in you can only have 60 people.
There's a few large communities already thinking of min-maxing the trees by running multiple smaller guilds that all ally under one banner.
As far as just being friends w/ other guild leaders, there shouldn't be any problems w/ that.
Intrepid seems to be happy being hands off when it comes to player politics...within reason of course.

What im planning to do is, if my guild becomes full but is still in need. It would branch out into sort of “guild divisions” that perform certain functions. I was saying that perhaps another person could manage said guilds if there was some restriction that my alts couldn’t which i didn’t really expect to be, but just making sure.
velvet spear
The only restriction in regards to alts and guilds is that they will count as an individual character so you don't want to have a guild just full of alts. There's nothing against having a friend run a "division" as it's functionally identical to a large community having officers running different guilds which is a common mindset for any group that's well over 100 players.
dark thorn
Alright, thanks for the help man.
oak depot
Do either of these accurately depict the family system?
It will be like Scenario 2.
It’s a closed system for Family. Think of it more as another type of guild which has a max size of 8. You can belong to only 1 such guild.

ok, and what is your source? I think I've watched all the vids, but I could have missed something

joke er sorta
patent valve
yeah i am getting all of my friends hyped
frank gust
Yeah there is a big issue here because two kinda-dead servers in this game cant just be merged like in other games
what do you do with those nodes?
I would guess they will allow mass transfers off a server that is that "dead", but we dont know at this point
woven vale
@frank gust Merging will be a last precaution but is a tool that will be used if needed, the bigger pop server will be maintained
frank gust
Well if in one server one node is level 6, and the other has adjacent node tier 6, what do you do to merge them? 0_0
frank gust
Ah. That would make sense. Probably better to offer the one moving a chance to move anywhere, but its up to the devs
Hopefully that doesnt happen, because of the open world map, if a server has say half the pop of others, big guilds will move there to exert dominance
no real reason to do that in WoW etc
patent valve
yeah, that would be preferred. the larger server's map will be preserved and the smaller server's population will move
but I hope that would not happen and most servers will have a similar population
woven vale
@simple ether Didn't Steven state in a stream that population size would impact the "main server" in a merge (Then again you prob know more then me)
remote axle
Steven mentioned it briefly in the interview he had with Summit and Shroud.
He said if they had to merge, the server with the largest population would take priority. Parent server vs sub-server according to him.
frank gust
yeah this company with the on-world GMs and everything is much different than, say, blizzard. they will likely take each of these on a case-by-case basis
remote axle
yep, server mergers are a band-aid solution to preserve population. Its never perfect.
ruby swift
do we know what the cooldown is for switching between guilds?
There is a 2 week cooldown on swapping citizenship. The idea of people being able to cheese the guild system by swapping in and out of guilds has been discussed, and while there has been no developer information on exactly how long the cooldown will be, expect it to be similar to or mirror the citizenship requirements.
wet kernel
I could see the players needing to be moved complaining about going into an already established server...would moving both to a new server work better?
More ppl would be upset, but all those players would start off on equal footing.

We know that there are damage types, and it has been mentioned a few times that you can enchant gear to have resistances. It would make sense that mobs also are more resistant to some damage than others

@crystal beacon Well, Shin Megami Tensei: Imagine is the only MMORPG that has mobs with 100% dmg resistance, that can Repel the attacks back to the attacker, etcetera.
I have never seen another MMORPG using such a complex combat system like that, so that's why I asked.
So it's not "obviously" ...
Probably the game will have some mob resisntance & weaknesses, but not on the Shin Megami Tensei: Imagine complex level.

To note, most beginner streamers are likely best streaming at 720p60fps over trying to push 1080 anyways since it's less about your rig and more about your bitrate and Twitch tends to prioritize larger streamers when it comes to handing out the resources needed for transcoding at higher resolutions.

Maybe something cool to look forward a long time down the road is some type of custom wagering. Race to here, tavern games, duels.
Will players eventually be able to give out quests? Lets say someone wants the mayor dead or ruined... You give out a quest to a guild which rewards them if the mayor is not reelected or steps down some how. "Resign as Mayor or we will raid your node, and we will win"
ruby swift
There will be "job boards" posted in taverns, and the mayor also will have the ability to post specific resource related "quests" to some mechanic. As far as node mayors "stepping down" or being forcibly removed from office, they have said there is no plan for such a mechanic. Once you have a mayor you are stuck with them for that election cycle.
Of course, destruction of a node would remove that as an issue.
