questions

[simple karma]

But you have name and surname, so I guess it will be very difficult to happen? or am I wrong¿?

[tulip hatch]

name reservations have been currently stated to be server based as well
So there can be an Oni on every single server

[oak depot]

@tulip hatch that could be an issue if they ever need to server merge....

[slow willow]

What's the max server size that's been talked about?

[thorny sequoia]

Names per server is like that on many servers mmo wide... just look at WoW...

[ruby swift]

8-10k concurrent logins with 50k accounts per server is last information given.

[slow willow]

Thats pretty healthy

I'm down for it

[fickle abyss]

@slow willow expect a lot of volatility at launch and if you care a lot about concurrent active players then you may need to move server

And by move I mean restart.

[ancient lantern]

Will ranger class get acces to crossbows ?

[full badger]

every class can use every weapon type. the list of weapons planned for Ashes is on the wiki page

!wiki weapons

[tender hearth]

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Weapons

[crystal beacon]

those weapons look bad ass

[deft dragon]

try messaging a mod currently online and with a green icon - so Xenellia or Fuppo

I deleted the messages @onyx knoll and sent you a dm

Are there any Dwarvern Dunir node architecture images out there ?

[digital yacht]

!wiki Dunir

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Dunir

[digital yacht]

If there is they’ll be in here

[crystal beacon]

What would they do if two people with name reservation wanted the same name on the same server?

[onyx knoll]

As far as we know currently, I believe there is a priority system, so Kickstarters get first pick, then Intrepid pack holders, then Voyager +. If within the same tier two people want the same name on the same server, then it's first come first serve. That's still subject to change obviously, they could end up going for something different

[crystal beacon]

Gotcha, thanks

Will there be any time on the beta is open to everyone? asking cause there are too many classes and I wanna try like 4 or 5 before actuallying getting a main and if I can´try it before game actually comes out I will be behind

[tulip hatch]

Currently there are no plans for an open test outside of the apocalypse model.
Subject to change as all things in development

[steady ocean]

@crystal beacon there will be plenty of folks streaming the upcoming testing phases so just keep an eye out for when the NDA lifts and you can follow the people that are trying out the builds you are interested in

[crystal beacon]

well yeah I will but not the same that playing the class by myself

[tawdry forum]

Are the character names going to be first and last name? (2 different fields)

[dark jungle]

yes

!wiki character naming

[tender hearth]

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Character_naming

[tawdry forum]

lol I looked up name reservation and not character naming on the wiki

[fading valley]

Oh its tomorrow

Damn. goes back to bed

[upbeat bone]

"Characters will have a first-name and an optional surname (family name)." "Families are a means to relate up to eight characters." Because there is the family mechanic, I'm a little bit worried that the last name would only be available if you officially created a family (basically like a tiny guild), and that's where the optional last name might come from. Can I create a first and last name at character creation? Or is the last name something that is optionally added during family creation, which is after character creation, during game play?

[tulip hatch]

optional surname existed before the introduction of the family system, it was part of the normal naming in char creation

[crystal spear]

Would the name Mrshumidititties be bannable ?

[analog fox]

[naive lava]

[oak depot]

I mean that's a KOS name... so why? why would you want that name?

[twilit panther]

[twilit panther]

Will UI be scale-able or movable? I don't like the heath bar in the top left especially bc its so small.

[steady ocean]

It will be highly customizable yeah

[fading valley]

So are people still working from home at Intrepid? Didn't they recently just get a new studio and everything??

[twilit panther]

yeahh I wonder

[woven vale]

They are at home.

This is why we haven't been having other devs walk right in on live streams (and you can clearly see them at home).

They also did recently get a new studio, though (grain of salt, can't fully remember) I believe it was stated that they haven't opened it.

[fading valley]

I wonder if there is any plan on returning soon?

[twilit panther]

I mean vaccines are slowly being rolled out in the US

so hopefully

[junior ore]

the area or at least many in the state are on some tight lockdowns and restrictions on working from home

[hollow tendon]

Does anyone know how villages are going to spawn into a node? Will it be a set point for each node or is it going to be more dynamic/random?

[twilit panther]

nodes are set points

and the node's level determine whether its an expedition, village, metropolis, or whatever

[hollow tendon]

Ah i found it on the wiki as well. Ty for your response

[twilit panther]

yeye np, I love this community lol

[native fiber]

Really looking forward to this experience. From what I have seen thus far a excellent community.

i shall ruin it for you

[viral phoenix]

I didn't want to make a thing of it on the last day of alpha, but I'm guessing I didn't get an automatic invite to the test because I didn't have my voyager plus bought before it started?

[crystal flax]

Voyager plus isn't A1, it's A2

[viral phoenix]

ah ok, got it, thanks!

[twilit panther]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[random moth]

When does alpha 2 access open up?

[wet kernel]

sometime after alpha 1 is finished

[simple karma]

and before beta 1

[wet kernel]

correct

they will announce it, likely in a live stream

[random moth]

👍

[brittle walrus]

A1 access is not available anymore? Because voyager plus only gives A2 access

[tulip hatch]

Alpha 1 access stopped being sold in 2018

Only way to gain it would be if you were a kickstarter/summer backer with the ability to upgrade

[oak depot]

There are still ways to get A1 keys via contests at times though, just not "buy" them.

[spiral pine]

considering a1 testing has started that would be kinda silly

[oak depot]

well, some A1 keys are for the non-NDA testing only, not all of them apply to all parts

Content Creators might have extra keys to give away starting the Mar 19 A1 testing

[gentle briar]

chat have they stated how far you can go to profressions after maxing 1

[ruby swift]

They have said you would be able to cap a couple in the same branch, not all.

So you might be able to gather the highest tier herbs and logs, but would be a shit miner and skinner as an example.

[burnt skiff]

is there a test for apoc today?

[desert ivy]

Wat

[burnt skiff]

is a test of ashes of creation apocalypse going on today?

[desert ivy]

Apoc hasn't been going on for 9 months so no

[oak depot]

why do you ask?

I'm curious where info is coming from that APOC is still around

[rain spade]

apocalypse is no longer being supported
the main game was being tested this weekend, but not right now

[burnt skiff]

[dusky pasture]

I was reading the augments wiki and was wondering if players can learn the same skill multiple times but with a different types of augments?

[oak depot]

you use "skill points" to learn a skill. Once it is learned you cannot learn it again as it already has points in it. https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Skill_points

you can reset your allocation though and try something different

[fading valley]

Yes it has.

It was 18th- 21

[warped bison]

Thought the date would be ok

Fair enough

[oak depot]

you can ask date questions; it's public knowledge

[warped bison]

Gdgd

[pallid horizon]

How long till the stream?

[tulip hatch]

The proper question would be how long does the test last and public knowledge would be responded by showing the playtest timeline

however testing changes and that information can change, asking i have X client error is the test down?would be an nda breaking question

[pallid horizon]

cool

[tulip hatch]

The bot commands have a cooldown

[warped bison]

Ok, no worries

[tulip hatch]

if you have any questions/concerns with the test/email no matter how small its best to ask a moderator privately in dms just to be on the safe side

Take care o/

[charred wraith]

live stream hype

how many people got banned due to nda violation?

[oak depot]

that's under NDA too

[surreal void]

Lol

[sour inlet]

Cosmetics skins bought via the store, will they be account-bound or locked to the character they're used on?

[dark jungle]

store cosmetics are account bound, and can be transferred to the character you wish to use them on. you can only use them on one character at a time. and they cant be sold or given to other players

[tacit orbit]

quick someone answer before mods find this message: DOES ALPHA HAVE D~

[woven vale]

Answer C is the correct answer!

Still thing if you buy pack now, you need to make a ticket wen the EU accounttransfer thing is up?

[fathom shell]

Who would I talk to about the possibility of scythe weapons ? Or the option to skin my Ember fox in a different color.

[proven arrow]

@fathom shell there were halberds in Apocalypse testing way back when

And one of animal husbandry's features planned is the ability to breed physical attribute differences between individual animals.

[dark jungle]

!wiki scythes

[tender hearth]

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Scythes

[fathom shell]

Tool? Sounds like its specifically for farming

[proven arrow]

So you could maybe breed longer tails, bigger horns, more muscularity.

[fathom shell]

And not a viable weapon

Thank you lex

[hot grove]

Is there planned controller/gamepad/analog input support?

[oak depot]

@idle siren @plucky pawn a follow-on to my "can nodes gain XP while under siege declaration" question - given that they can gain XP, if they gain enough XP to advance to next stage... do the defenses go up to next level? And if they Atrophy (either delevel or disappear)... what happens if it's a level 3 node... will we see a Level 2 node siege or potentially a level 1 node siege happen?

[obtuse current]

I have a question but im quite nervous as to who to ask it or where (forum or here)

[steady jasper]

just ask maybe a mod will help you or another member if they know the awnser

[obtuse current]

The testers which test the game frequently, are they all people who invested in kickstarter? From what i understood the packages on the website shop give limited access to the game during the testing phases (Beta One, Beta Two etc.)

[steady jasper]

yes kickstarter people

you can play beta 2 but not alpha anymore

[obtuse current]

How long are the beta 1 and 2 phases? A week?

[oak depot]

unknown currently

[stable plover]

@obtuse current Some of the testers are people who bought the 500$ Intrepid pre-order packs that stopped being sold back in 2018 (The KS was in 2017)

[obtuse current]

As a european, prices are quite above my student loan so to speak even though i really wanna help support the game and test it myself so im trying to "calculate" what i should aim for

Was there a hiring process for testers? @stable plover

[stable plover]

@obtuse current They do have in house testers that they hired at some point - You can see job listings here https://intrepidstudios.com/careers

[onyx knoll]

Just a heads up, you can still purchased a pack that includes access to alpha 2, not just the beta

only alpha 1 is no longer available

[still quartz]

Is the hole europe account migration still a thing (if you buy a pack now)

[obtuse current]

I check them frequently but im under experienced for my profession which is Software Engineer/Game developer lol but i'd love to apply for tester. Thanks @stable plover

[onyx knoll]

If you buy a pack now you'd be buying it on the official Ashes website, no matter your region

[stable plover]

There's no migration for EU accounts unless you bought from my.com and need to migrate to Intrepid (My.com and Intrepid are no longer working together apart from some stuff like transferring user data from my.com to Intrepid)

[still quartz]

Ah okj, good to known, hole my.com info tnx 🙂

[obtuse current]

All these positions are US based

When are the alpha/beta phase durations announced?

[stable plover]

@obtuse current We don't know start/end dates apart from some specific A1 testing dates, but additional possible A1 spot tests have been mentioned, Once A2 starts it will run until launch 24/7 (minus maintenance), for those with A2 they can choose to play on either the A2 or beta servers when those are available. The betas function more as a series scheduled stress testing weekends

[onyx knoll]

Keep your eyes open for EU positions 😉 they're planning to open an office in EU at some point

[obtuse current]

Omg really? @onyx knoll

Thanks for the help both of you, really appreciated :)

[onyx knoll]

They decided to self publish everywhere, so they won't have a choice. As per EU laws they need a foothold somewhere in Europe to be able to publish there

[stable plover]

@obtuse current

Honestly, in my country the peak of game development is hypercasual mobile games. And I'm aiming for something higher, news like this make me really happy... Quite off topic sorry :p

How many people will we be able to have in a guild?

depends on guild perks

30-50 in no size increases... 300 with all size increases

[digital yacht]

If u opt for size increases u lose on passive benefits

[steel imp]

Oh ok I see, thats pretty cool actually

[modern badger]

Were backers supposed to be contacted with information on Alpha 1 Pretest access?

[steel imp]

Hey so if I pick tank as my primary archetype, am I still able to play as a dps role depending on how i build my character?

[woven vale]

Depends on your tier.

[ruby swift]

Yes, if you had a package that should have had access contact a mod or @plucky pawn , or file a cs ticket.

[woven vale]

You will only have tank skills (inference) you may have more dps oriented skills, but likely your dps will be lower compared to rogue/rogue, ect

[modern badger]

I have access and didn't even get an email about it. I checked my account and my contact is all correct.

[woven vale]

But we realyl just dont' know

[woven vale]

Msg a mod via DM

[ruby swift]

Yeah, we can't help you with that. They will take a look and let you know via DMs or ticket response. Good luck.

[modern badger]

I know, I'm just asking in case anyone else knew the process lol

[dark jungle]

we cant talk about it

[woven vale]

We can't discuss stuff pertaining to the email due to NDA, please message a CM or Mod and they'll likely have it all sorted for you. @modern badger

[modern badger]

Oh I see what ya mean. kk

[ruby swift]

Yeah, they fielded a bunch of questions concerning that. The procedure is what I let you know.

[modern badger]

Like you can't even confirm or deny if the Alpha 1 even happened as per previous schedule based on the NDA?

is that what i'm getting?

pretest that is

lol

gotcha. I'll message a bod

mod

[digital yacht]

The only thing that can be talked about regarding the most recent alpha test is what was stated publicly by intrepid

[modern badger]

You bet. I'll contact a mod its all good.

[oblique scarab]

Answer a question for me. Im a Braver of Worlds pack holder, a buddy of mine only recently bought in back in like june, he says he is still able to but packs like the firefox mount and stuff and he swears I should have access to all those older cosmetics.. Im right that they are not available and I can't buy them correct? I do not see them in the shop.

[tulip hatch]

kickstarter backers see the summer crowdfunding cosmetics always available to purchase individually + the current months cosmetics

[oblique scarab]

I see the kick starter pack upgrades and current months stuff. He is saying on his account the store is showing he can purchase older cosmetic packs.

[tulip hatch]

that should not be the case

unless he has encountered a bug

[oblique scarab]

Right that's what I thought.

[tulip hatch]

as a visual example
you can see my upgrade options + the summer cosmetics and the current month cosmetics

[oblique scarab]

This is what mine shows

[digital yacht]

^ normal

Hello. I bought a 375 Usd pack for the Alpha one test several month ago. Has it started and where can i download the client?

The $375 package came with Alpha 2. You have to wait a bit more.

Package sales that included Alpha one access ended in Sep 2018.

[quiet flower]

gameplay design question, didn't see it in a few interview vids or the FAQ so asking here

[TLDR STARTS HERE]
as an MMO player one of the things I love most about a game is movement abilities. gaining new and interesting ways to move about the gameworld (not just in combat) is awesome! a game I played that felt like it did this in a way I've never seen another MMO do since was Age of Wushu. in brief, it's a chinese wuxia style MMO where players gain unique movement abilities as they progress in the game. this includes things like double and even triple jumping, air dashes, brief "sprints," wall running, and other things. all of these abilities were not just ways to navigate throughout the world, but completely applicable in combat as well. so the same skills were as helpful for trying to climb the tallest building you can find for the pure enjoyment of climbing tall shit as they were helpful in maneuvering in combat

ashes of creation obviously has a wildly different setting, and as such there are certain genre assumptions that go into making sure the game doesn't feel "weird," so I certainly don't expect to see kung fu martial artists wire-fuing across the landscape, but I am nonetheless striken by the potential for class differentiation being furthered by simple things such as how the classes are able to move. for example, I think it would be really cool if a Rogue could Prince of Persia style around certain obstacles that other classes simply couldn't, or perhaps a Ranger would have certain movement abilities in woodland like expertly climbing trees or navigating wilderness terrain in a way other classes could not

whether it's tied to the class system or is made available through unique questlines or somesuch, I don't know the specifics of how it would be done, but this is all context for my question;
[TLDR ENDS HERE]

what will Ashes of Creation do to make movement in the game world feel enjoyable and fluid in a way that other mmos such as Age of Wushu managed?

[vapid veldt]

Cool idea, hard to implement and raises balance worries

It's probably low priority list, low "bang for your buck"

so I wouldnt count on it, not until they did everything else they want to do

that said nobody knows the future

[reef osprey]

@quiet flower in western games, these type of map movement abilities are usually hidden behind mounts.
In eastern MMOs these are usually utilized by the character themselves.

Sprints, dashes, leaps, gliding, scaling walls etc. might very well be part of the abilities you can breed onto your mounts

[quiet flower]

is there an official answer on it though? I am going to assume not so far

[reef osprey]

jst this:
Climbing/parkour ability is not free-form and will likely be restricted to certain quests, locations or objects

[tulip hatch]

Classes in ashes have unique utility and movement abilities
Not all of them have been listed
Two examples are climbing(not free roam)
Grappling hook

[quiet flower]

neat, thanks!

[dark jungle]

you can also tame pets in the wild in game

[onyx knoll]

^

[quasi latch]

also will i need to make alts or sub class will be changeable

[onyx knoll]

you can change your secondary archetype, not your main one

so if you wanted to try every single class in the game, you'd need 8 characters

[quasi latch]

for example main is summoner

i can change to necromancer/conjurer

all of those?

[onyx knoll]

correct

[dark jungle]

yes you can try all 8 secondary archetypes with your summoner primary

[quasi latch]

Good

as summoner is my primary i just don't know which type of summons i will prefer ^^

[onyx knoll]

it won't be as easy as clicking a button anywhere like changing spec in wow is, but you can

[quasi latch]

is there date or average date for alpha 2?

of course

[onyx knoll]

not yet, the only dates we have are for alpha 1

[quasi latch]

might cost money or need specific material

[dark jungle]

no real money costs in ashes, only in-game currency

ashes isnt pay to win

only thing you can buy with real money is cosmetics

[quasi latch]

when i am saying money

i am talking in game

can i buy with embers sub

[dark jungle]

ahh, typically money refers to real money not gold

yes you can buy cosmetics with embers

[quasi latch]

well sometimes gold is not the currency in games that is why ^^

i mean sub

not cosmetics

[dark jungle]

no

you can only pay for your sub with real money or with referral money (intrepid bucks)

[last osprey]

hello, if a guild is on a divine node and worships one of the "evil" Gods, will the quest line ll be adjusted to assist maybe the ancients and do different stuff than the other divine nodes?

[onyx knoll]

a guild can't control a node

[last osprey]

i mean if it's a town or a metropolis

[onyx knoll]

A guild still can't control it 😛 Guilds can only control castle nodes, which are a different thing

You have 1 individual every month that controls a node, not guilds

[acoustic timber]

Well a guild can indirectly control a node by enforcing their will upon the people of the node

Or have their guy in charge of that node and rigging the elections

[onyx knoll]

I suppose, tho especially in a divine node it would be easy for someone outside of the guild to gain control of the node the following month

You can't rigg divine node elections

[acoustic timber]

Like majority voting for scientific, giving cash to someone for economic and such

[onyx knoll]

True, but game-wise, the guild has nothing to do with the system.

[acoustic timber]

And yeah divine is probably gonna be the node type that is most reliable and secure, just gotta no-life it basically to get in

[last osprey]

you cant choose which deity you ll worship in a divine node?

[onyx knoll]

We don't know much about the divine node at this time

[acoustic timber]

Directly no, i just think guilds will have plenty of ways to indirectly take control of a node

[onyx knoll]

They're supposed to release a dev update on the missing node types eventually, once they've fleshed it out. So far we've only had those for scientific and economic nodes so the info on military and divine is pretty limited

[acoustic timber]

Military is gonna be interesting considering it is elected through pvp, like is it just gonna be a big tournament? What if there are a ton of candidates?

[ruby swift]

Is limited to citizens that have developed their avatar.

Is there list of gods

Nope, just a number.

hey guys love the recent 40 min alpha vid alot of things are looking good in it but i have a questoin about sound most of the attacks dont have sound,and there is no casting bar am just wondering if the sounds will be added later or is it gonna stay like it is in the vid

[steady ocean]

Many things will be added as development goes on, and I'd imagine sound effects will be one of them.

The cast bar is a possibility, but currently the spell animations serve that purpose to give players of when a spell will complete. Although I think the devs have said there may be cast bars, it all needs to be tested.

[crystal beacon]

a big turn off players might get is the combat not feeling impact full but the animations are pretty gud just the lack of sounds make it sound like everything is not hitting

[ruby swift]

Also could be that he had the game sound not in the recording so that it didn't conflict with the conversation.

[crystal beacon]

yea

[ruby onyx]

will there be first or third person aiming at ashes of creation or are the action combat abilities only gonna be things like aoe

[dark jungle]

!wiki hybrid combat

[tender hearth]

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Hybrid_combat

[woven vale]

No first person, you could zoom in but it will have no supported animations, character may clip through, ect

On the combat, it will be hybrid so it won't just be AOE action abilities

You can have a 75-25 split of either action/tab or tab/action

[warm jacinth]

Not been really paying attention to the game development. Is it still a good time to upgrade to Braver of the Worlds Package. As a Kickstarter I see that it includes a lifetime subscripton.

[onyx knoll]

upgrading to braver would grant you access to the ongoing alpha 1 🙂 As if it's worth it, that's really only something you can answer for yourself, I recommend you look at some of the more recent videos on the youtube channel to see the current state of the game before you decide if you want to invest or if you'd rather wait for the game to be further along

[sleek raptor]

mac support?

[steady ocean]

I do not believe it will be supported on Macs at this time. I'm seeing launch for Windows, with the possibility of consoles and Linux in the future https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Ashes_of_Creation#Platforms @sleek raptor

Can also check your inventory on the Ashes of Creation website

https://accounts.ashesofcreation.com/profile

[full hollow]

i can change the skins or no?

[desert ivy]

You can buy the ones that are currently on the store, but you can't exchange your ones for different ones

[full hollow]

ah ok

i just saw in a youtube video saying the alpha 1 starts in 18 dezember is a lie right?

[desert ivy]

No, the first scheduled testing for Alpha 1 was December 18th

[full hollow]

i just bought the last pack voyager plus, i saw too that in febuary have another 4 days of alpha 1

right?

voyager PLUS?

[desert ivy]

Voyager plus is A2

[full hollow]

omg i hate my life

[lean marlin]

February does have another test cycle. Then March and then April. But Voyage Plus isn't probably until next year.

[desert ivy]

A1 access was the $500 Intrepid Pre-Order Pack which ended in August 2018, or the BoW+ Kickstarter pack

[full hollow]

aaaaaaaaaah

so i bought for nothing kkkkkkkkk

[desert ivy]

Well, they may reopen sales at some point.

Not guaranteed, but they've said if they needed more testers for A1 then they might

[simple karma]

I wonder if It Will be an upgrade pack or just a key

[tulip hatch]

if you do not want your pack you can always refund as long as its within 30 days of purchase

[full hollow]

i think i gonna refund

[desert ivy]

Bit more than 30 days

[full hollow]

i bought ony thinking that i gonna get acess do alpha 1 xD

the voyager plus i bought have +- 30 min

[simple karma]

You should read what you buy :/

[desert ivy]

Then yeah, you can probably get the $125 difference refunded from Voyager plus to voyager

[full hollow]

how i ask refund?

[full hollow]

if they back sell the alpha 1 acess i probably only gonna need pay more 125 usd right?

not 250

[digital yacht]

Purchase needs to total roughly 500 to have access to A1

[desert ivy]

if you refund to the $250 pack then you'll need to pay $250

[steady ocean]

You would pay the difference if they decide to sell access to A1

[desert ivy]

If you keep your voyager plus then you can upgrade for $125

But again, there's no guarantee that they'll reopen sales

[full hollow]

hmmmmmmmm

i gonna keep the PLUS pack for the name reservation xD

tnx guys

the alpha 2 is probably 2021?

[desert ivy]

We don't really know. Depends how A1 goes. I'd say if A2 is next year, it won't be till like December next year, but again that's just my personal opinion

[full hollow]

okay tnx

[rugged bison]

with similar games recently out in alphas and betas, there was a problem with ranged players not being able to "tag" mobs and other players due to their party members being in the line of sight or in front of the mob / player. will this be an issue in AOC or will there not be collision?

i understand the loot tagging aspect, im more worried about actually hitting the target if another player (say a tank) is standing inbetween say an archer and the mob

there is spell collision yes

ty for information

[full hollow]

where i find the Order Number?

order history?

[warm jacinth]

So went ahead and upgraded to BoW primarily because of the "lifetime sub" but will this get me access to the next Alpha-1 test in Feb 2021?

[digital yacht]

Yes

When it comes close to the test they will email instructions

[warm jacinth]

thanks

[full hollow]

@warm jacinth what is this BoW?

[warm jacinth]

Braver of the World package

[full hollow]

hmm, this pack u bought in 2018 right?

[tulip hatch]

its a kickstarter package

[full hollow]

aaah ok

tnx

[full hollow]

how much time they took to answer a refund request?

[onyx knoll]

Well they're on holiday right now so might be a few weeks

[full hollow]

ah ok

[pale hearth]

can intrepid say how many players participate in the alpha 1 test or how many out of the total amount of players that had access?

[dark jungle]

they have not released how many players out of the 10k were in the last testing phase

[pale hearth]

ok ty lex

[pale hearth]

when did you upgrade?

[dark jungle]

yes

[full hollow]

the mean they maybe sell alpha 1 acess again?

[dark jungle]

yes

[full hollow]

omg

i hope this happen i cant wait anymore to play

[lean marlin]

be advised Alpha isn't a release stage of the game. It's testing, actual testing as is the same with beta. This isn't early access.

[full hollow]

i know this XD

[worldly rapids]

Is there any information out yet about UI customization?

fully custimizable

do we know if spells are going to proc into other spells? for example for mage their lightning attack having a lighting 2 attack that deals bonus damage if you use lightning before it

[bleak fable]

will the tulnar have bunny ear option

[trim scroll]

Has the Naval combat been in testing yet?..is it fun if so?

[dark jungle]

cant answer that soz

[trim scroll]

lol

I've seen more intrusive questions than that answered but ok

[dark jungle]

would love to answer but dont want to risk my account 😂

[woven vale]

Don't ask anything about current testing.

As no one can answer due to NDA.

I do believe it was said naval content will not be added until a2 or b1 (but i'm not 100% sure, this is just me thinking back to a very old stream)

[trim scroll]

... ok lol

[arctic sky]

@trim scroll you can also look on the wiki it's very up to date

[woven vale]

!wiki alpha 1

[tender hearth]

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Alpha_1

[woven vale]

The wiki link will likely contain all public knowledge on what is in the testing.

It does look like ships may be contained in A1 (but from the wording it looks to be just travel, and to be introduced in later alpha testing)

[arctic sky]

Unless it was mentioned in the stream the other day... They are enjoying the holiday and haven't added all that in yet

[trim scroll]

I'm just trying to decide if i want to invest in this game or not. that why i asked if it was fun... Also I've been in plenty of Alphas and I thought that that one was a pretty simple yes or no so as long as detail wasn't added It wouldn't mess with the NDA . I apologize

[arctic sky]

They are very strict on the nda

Also is not a big deal to wait a bit before buying in

It's a sub game with no box cost so if you don't want to test or the cosmetics there's not much point to buy

It's already funded

[sick mountain]

Do we know if pets have size limits? Crystalline Revenant looks like it should be pretty big to me, but I have my doubts about that.

[indigo obsidian]

if no one from 10k players in the alpha has complained or tried to leak something it most be because they are having fun just an assumption

[arctic sky]

Oorr they like their account

And spent 500 on it and don't want to lose it

[trim scroll]

The last Alpha I was in was too because the game was soooo buggy and got rushed to beta and it was not fun but still no leaks so idk about that one lol. they also still ban ppl for even talking about alpha lol that's why I just thought a yes or no would be ok lol, and game knowledge is a pretty good reason to invest being complete lost when a game comes out vs knowing how things work is why I join them. @arctic sky

[woven vale]

NDA means you can't disclose ANYTHING unless they release the verbal/video/etc parts.

[woven vale]

You can go to the Ashes youtube channel to see 38 minutes (I think) of gameplay of A1

[arctic sky]

@trim scroll that sounds like the beta anyways so you have time

[woven vale]

Granted they may have fiddled with it, but you can wait until NDA is gone in...March

[arctic sky]

The alphas are about seeing what works and what doesn't

[indigo obsidian]

well its not like they can find out which one is your account if you are talking in discord

[arctic sky]

The polish and having everything locked in mechanically is later

[woven vale]

It's smart to abide by the legal contracts

[arctic sky]

@indigo obsidian tell that to the one person that got their account banned before the alpha even came out lol

[indigo obsidian]

[trim scroll]

naa whole gameplay loops are still broken and bugs still plague that thing. and you can still say some things you got to read the whole NDA lol. can i ask if the devs listen to the community when they make suggestions or is that too much?

[indigo obsidian]

i think that isn't protected behind NDA

And yes they listen

[trim scroll]

👍 thanks, that's a good sign.

is there a NDA discord so when I buy a pack i can ask actual questions?

that's my last one for today lol

[low lantern]

If you buy a pack you would only have Alpha 2 access, and wouldn’t have access to the alpha 1 channel or wherever they talk about it

[trim scroll]

cool thanks

[arctic sky]

Also Steven has been in and out of the ashes discussion channel all day

[tame cosmos]

How do you know what Backer you are for Alpha One ?

[desert ivy]

If you only recently bought an account then you don't have access to A1

[tame cosmos]

how recent?

[desert ivy]

Before September 2018

[tame cosmos]

ok thanks

[desert ivy]

The $500 Intrepid Pre-Order Pack

or Braver of World or higher in Kickstarter

[tame cosmos]

yeh that one

Intrepid

[desert ivy]

That stopped getting sold in August 2018

[tame cosmos]

Oh

got mine one September 15th 2020

[arctic swift]

Check your inventory for what Keys you have

[noble terrace]

Hi, when the game release?

[ruby swift]

If you are talking about "live launch", community estimates a couple years.

[ruby gyro]

If the betas are happening in 2021 as they said the release cant be years away

[ruby swift]

Development is a fickle bitch. Plans change. It will be ready when it is ready. Currently according to them, it is not.

[simple karma]

alpha 1 is happening in 2021, we dont know about alpha 2 nor beta 1 and 2

[last osprey]

imo a2 will take all the rest 2021 cause it's a persistent testing phase and it's before the betas, so they d want to take as much time they need to have a stable game by the betas.

[ebon token]

imagine all the Elf mages casting fireballs in the air, and all the fighter dwarves can't reach up to hit them. Will the dwarves have a higher jump to counter this 😁

[ruby swift]

Hit boxes under the current system are all the same. Big orc, small dwarf. Everyone gets a prize.

[dire pond]

Will their be traps to ambush other players? Flagged or not

[vapid veldt]

Define trap

[dire pond]

Like bear traps or stun spells on the ground, yoy place them on the ground or road and when players or caravan pass on them, they activate and an ambush can be easely done

[ruby swift]

We have not seen the ranger class or their abilities yet. Could be something you cast. There will not be persistent player dropped items in the world confirmed by Jeffrey long ago. Does something with their systems. People were asking about dropping items on the ground or some such. So something like WoW hunter traps, maybe. Stuff you leave for a day, prolly not.

[dire pond]

So mainly to ambush people, you will gave to coordinate players skills on the ennemies. Great ty

[ruby swift]

Again, pure speculation on my part

[dire pond]

Would be cool that the siege crafting profession has traps building too

[azure birch]

Mages will no longer jump to cast the fireball ability

Steven confirmed it

[deft dragon]

https://www.reddit.com/r/AshesofCreation/comments/kiws3t/ashes_of_creation_alpha_one_preview_of_the_mage/ggu940d/

will small to medium size dragons will be tameable lets say rangers or summoners for example not talking about the dragon mounts btw something humanoid size

[lean marlin]

!wiki combat pets

[tender hearth]

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Combat_pets

[lean marlin]

We know pet taming is a thing, we don't know about taming dragons though. But maybe, just remember they're not the same as summoner summons.

[quasi latch]

hmm i see i just was hoping that one of the summoner archtype would be able to summon dragons but i doubt it

[crystal beacon]

will there be any commands in game like.. /dance or something like it?

[junior ore]

Yes

We will have an array of emotes

[azure birch]

Hello fellow guild member! There'll be dragon summons - confirmed by Steven some time ago

[lone magnet]

did margerete got fired?

[arctic sky]

Maggie is on vacation

[quasi latch]

wawit dragon summons?

[vapid sinew]

kind of wish we could have seen a bunch of mages casting fireball at the same time before they change it

i dont think ive seen such disdain for a spell animation before lol

[woven vale]

It did look over the top

Too many flying animations imo

[ruby swift]

You should have been around for the great PAX QTE kerfuffle then. That one was similar. Immediate and vocal reaction from a variety of places that it wasn't wanted. So they got rid of it.

[desert ivy]

Tbf

The QTE was absolute garbage

[lone magnet]

Talents

[brittle walrus]

Lets just embrace that long casting. It might become a unique asset for intripid. Every good thing starts from something weird right

[deft dragon]

He also confirmed buffs/gear would increase animations and casts as well

[reef osprey]

5Head Intrepid first creates that scuffed Fireball animation, with a better one in the backhand to change it out when the negative feedback is getting out of hand, so they can be praised for listening to the community #OpenDevelopment

[ruby swift]

Shhhh.....you are not supposed to point out the man behind the curtain.

[lone bear]

is that an actual thing tho or is that just speculation?

[ruby swift]

He was being facetious

[lone bear]

my b lmao

[reef osprey]

was I though?
Maybe i just pointed out the truth we all wanted to ignore

https://tenor.com/view/conspiracy-theory-gif-10587157

[shell mason]

@idle siren just one think please when you release the game I hope it won't have as many bugs as cyberpunk,2077 has

[desert ivy]

No he's gonna intentionally release it with thousands of bugs

[bold bear]

Can we have a bot to detect sarcasm?

[indigo obsidian]

no

[astral hinge]

I doubt I’ll get an answer but has the QA position at Intrepid been filled?

[digital yacht]

doubt it if its still listed, but they are on holiday til the 4th so who knows

might as well apply if its still there

[cursive silo]

hey guys new to discord, i see you can add the packs from the FAQ and takes you to ashes of creation shop. am i reading it correctly you can play the alpha and betas still if you buy the right one?

[glad vine]

You can buy into alpha 2 but not the current alpha 1

[cursive silo]

so Voyager is best option? and i assume embers will be the in game currency for the game?

[desert ivy]

Embers are used for the in-game cosmetic marketshop

[fossil shuttle]

embers is for the cosmetic store

[cursive silo]

ahh cool, hmm what are yall thoughts on voyager plus vs voyager?

[desert ivy]

If you want the current costume/freehold/caravan/boat cosmetic skins or you want to buy the future ones, get the Plus. If you don't care about cosmetics or only want the cosmetics offered in the regular Voyager pack, then get regular Voyager

[cursive silo]

where can you see what the cosmetics look like? it would depend on how they look

[fossil shuttle]

also, don't expect alpha 2 to be a complete game

[desert ivy]

The current cosmetics are shown in the picture of the packs

[fossil shuttle]

remember it's only an early testing phase

[desert ivy]

Current Voyager Plus Pack cosmetics

Current regular Voyager pack cosmetics

The 2 people represent the costume skin (weapons aren't included)
The Ox thing is a mount skin.
The Ox pulling wood is a caravan skin
The building is the freehold skin
The Ice Golem thing is a pet skin.
The Ice Gauntlet is an accessory skin.

Or if you don't like this months cosmetics, you can wait for a future month as the skins change each month

They'll give a few weeks notice before they remove the alpha 2 pack from the store, but I doubt it will happen anytime soon

No

Apoc servers got shut down in March

[cursive silo]

ahhh ok sweet, so to wait for what the new months skins look like i just have to wait to purchase? or can i purchase now and choose later?

[desert ivy]

No, if you purchase now you get this months skin, can't change them in the future

you can buy future skins separately when they release depending on the pack tier you have. So if you have the regular Voyager pack, you can only buy future Mount/Pet/Accessory skins. if you have the Voyager-Plus pack you can buy all the future skins regardless of type (Costume/Freehold/Caravan/Ship/Mount/Pet/Accessory)

They usually show the next months skins a few days before they change the skins just so people can decide if they want the current ones or next months

They havent' shown next months yet, next months skins swap on 13th January

[cursive silo]

ahhh ok so you can't buy/get previous months skins for example from August etc?

[desert ivy]

Nope

Once they're gone, they're gone

They don't come back either

[cursive silo]

March ones look cool

ice ones not bad. can't wait to see what the January look like

[ruby gyro]

what kind of pc you guys think ashes will require? i mean the graphic looks super good for alpha

Nothing crazy,even tho the full game will prob require even better

[crystal beacon]

minimum requirements are always low. for best gaming experience you generally need to have higher end pc, but you can often get an okay gaming experience with low to mid range

high end will give better gaming experience for longer, low end will need to be upgraded a lot more often
with outdated hardware there are no guarantees, even if you have a high end part that performs better than a new low end part

[lean marlin]

well yeah, that's normally how it goes.

[ruby gyro]

i was just wondering if my pc is gona be ok to run it. 32gb of ram i5 8400 and gtx 1080

i guess it should run on mid graphics settings

[lean marlin]

your only thing holding you back even slightly is the mobo. But yeah you're fine.

welcome aboard all that. poofs

[ruby gyro]

wait

is motherboard actually makes any diff for games?

[indigo obsidian]

50/50

[ruby gyro]

isnt cpu and gpu and ram is like 90%?

[indigo obsidian]

Yeah but you need a motherboard to use them you can’t just use a tablebox

[lean marlin]

it's more like a 70/30 sort of thing. you can overclock it to do stuff and such, but it's not a major problem. Unless you want to do it.

[ruby gyro]

obviously i got a motherboard

😄

[lean marlin]

yep, you should be fine. I had something similar but I upgraded earlier this year.

[ruby gyro]

what is my weakest link? both are kinda same shit right?

[indigo obsidian]

Well even though 20 and 30 series are out a 1080 is still good

[lean marlin]

probably your mobo? but idk what cpu you're running. I know in my rig both were causing a bottleneck on my end. But your gpu is good.

[ruby gyro]

I 5 8400

[digital yacht]

u have 2+years to save for a new PC 🙂

[lean marlin]

that's your motherboard, not your cpu.

wait

<.< is my brain working

it is not.

XD

you're fine.

for other questions i'll let someone else come in, I need coffee.

[ruby gyro]

lul xD

[ruby gyro]

Thank you

[dull cove]

Will i be able to breed Different species of tames to get a combination of the parent tames? Say, a wolf and a deer, or a bear and a rhino?

[steady ocean]

Yes, although it depends on several factors. https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Pets#Breeding_mechanics

[fading valley]

Will animal taming be part of a2

[desert ivy]

Well A2 is when they basically add all the content to the game, so probably eventually

but might not be in at the start

[crystal beacon]

i wonder, will alpha 2 be a persistent alpha where servers are up long term? that would make me so happy

[indigo obsidian]

4 day

[crystal flax]

That's A1

[crystal beacon]

that's not alpha 2

[crystal flax]

They said A2

[crystal beacon]

oh of course it's answered on the wiki

been so long since i read it
https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Alpha-2

[indigo obsidian]

Yeah my bad

[crystal beacon]

not a big deal 🫂

[twilit panther]

Something to look forward to would be great right now. We know when alpha 2 out or even an estimation?

A1 ends in like 3 months so altleast 4 months prob but

[woven vale]

A2 will be persistent, in fact it is the only persistent testing phase.

[woven vale]

A2 will not be out in 4 months, this is almost a certainty

Secondly, scheduled A1 ends in 3 months

A1 may have more parts to it

[twilit panther]

What do you mean by persistent?

[woven vale]

Currently testing phases are clock in clock out.

(and same with Beta)

Persistent is 24/7 (aside from updates, going down for maintenance, ect).

[twilit panther]

Cool cool

I’ve thought that this recent alpha test would show them how much longer they have in development whithin a timeframe they are predicting. I’m hopeful that them saying that this Alpha test went phenomenal means that release may be towards the beginning of that time frame. Or at the very least A2

I mean they have be in Development  for 5 years nearly. MMOS that had to do major reworks took around 7. Im not saying they should release it unfinished, I’m just curious.

Does anyone know how bad the issues they found from apoc. Were?

[ruby swift]

Just what they have shared a few times in livestreams when explaining why stuff has been delayed. It revealed some underlying structural problems with the architecture that everything else gets put on top of. If they had not found it when they did, development would have continued along oblivious, they would have built systems on that flawed model. And then at some unspecified time down the line, the problems would have started and snowballed. Losing them an even greater amount of time and work, since not just the backend and network functions would have to be redone, but all those systems they had placed on top. I am not a tech, but that is how I have put their explanations into my mindset.

[woven vale]

They had to redo 1 year of work due to a failure in some core system (discovered during Apoc testing)

[woven vale]

Also note, they didn't have a full team, and they have been rapidly expanding since 2019, meaning they couldn't get as much work done as other already established studios.

[twilit panther]

Ahhh

[vague peak]

I know there will be aquatic mounts and stuff but will there be aquatic monsters that are player controlled with a monster token? Maybe use it to attack a ship or something but they are hard to make?

[crystal flax]

The monster coins are only for specific events(monster attacks on towns), you can't just randomly use them

[vague peak]

indeed I was asking if there were going to be water based events like that. I wasn't saying randomly using them.

[ruby swift]

Since the monster coin events have so far been restricted to node events, and there are no water nodes, probably not. Could they expand on the system down the line and add that? Sure. But so far no plans have been revealed for that.

[fast lichen]

Are the EU jobs for intrepid been filled in? Cant find them on the website anymore? Sounds like a good thing

[digital yacht]

nah they need to get a studio open there first lol

[humble trout]

Didnt they open one in amsterdam?

[steady ocean]

They announced it would be headquartered there. Not sure if the studio was set up or not.

[pseudo vale]

As far as I know they took them down from the website to prepare for holidays and alpha tests. They'll get back to that soon probably https://ashes-of-creation.de/news/eu-jobs-doch-noch-nicht-weg?tp=1 (sorry that it's just a German website)

[crystal beacon]

When will sieges be coming?

Played a ton of the BR. I understand people were upset with it so did Intrepid throw away the sieges and horde mode?

[indigo obsidian]

sieges are not battle royale lol

[crystal beacon]

Sieges were apart of the apoc which the BR was in @indigo obsidian

[onyx knoll]

Sieges are still a very big part of the game, they never planned to throw it away. They've mentioned they might bring back APOC in a different format if they need it to test specific things, but that's not guaranteed

[crystal beacon]

@lean marlin Thank you

@onyx knoll I know it will be in the main game. I was more asking about the testing.
When you say they mentioned bring back apoc how exactly do you mean?
If not set for testing just for fun or what exactly would they bring apoc back with?

[onyx knoll]

I believe Steven mentioned they were thinking of bringing it back to test the large scale battles and sieges, not for the BR anymore. They might end up just using the alpha 2 servers for it, tho

[crystal beacon]

@simple ether Appreciated

Do we have any idea how the creature taming is gonna look like?(is it gonna be a press of button or there will be a mini game) or so far all the info on taming and crafting is what we got on wiki? Also is there gonna be a climbing mechanic of sorts?

^ utility covers your climbing question.
As for how taming works, I personally don't know more past what the wiki has on it.

[flint meteor]

Oh wow okey totally missed that part in regards of climbing, didn't think it would be as an utility ability. Thanks for both answers.

[frail void]

Will we be able to move our health hot bars and all sort of stuff? HUD moving

[onyx knoll]

Their plan is to have a highly customizable UI

[frail void]

Awesome

[bronze stream]

Related to this, ability cooldown timers shown on the icon, but possibly optional separate UI window as well?

[stark matrix]

how can i play ?

[humble trout]

so the apocalypse stuff on the website isnt just outdated and its worth signing up?

if they make it free could be sick pr

if its fun that is

[desert ivy]

It was up for quite a while, but it received tons of negative reviews and literally had <10 players so they removed it and took the servers offline

The Castle Siege/Horde mode probably won't get as negative reviews now, but I doubt it could sustain a decent playerbase for long

[dark jungle]

as someone lucky enough to have playtested castle siege mode, it was lots of fun. far far more fun than the BR mode

[heady ocean]

Will EU Shop have alpha packs?

[woven vale]

Alpha 2 is the only purchasable package, alpha 1 is no longer available.

EU pack holders who have migrated from My.com will get a chance to get cosmetics they were unable to obtain

[heady ocean]

I mean alpha 2 packs will there be a shop in EU for them

or will we get one after beta/release

[woven vale]

There is...just use the Ashes store.

[heady ocean]

the thing is conversion

otherwise i would

[woven vale]

Unfortunately VAT and everything is as it is

[heady ocean]

for now, my question is for the future

[woven vale]

For the foreseeable future it will remain this way (as nothing has been announced I believe)

[heady ocean]

well I kow for sure there will be an EU shop I just want to know in which fase(alpha, beta, release)

[hearty olive]

I was charged twice for the same item from the shop, how can I get my money back?

[tulip hatch]

submit a support ticket

[hearty olive]

Thank you :>

Is the tracking number the same as the order number?

Oh jk, I figured it out

[simple oyster]

hey quick question, does anyone know what classes were used in the most recent boss fight video? Should this be a question for a different channel?

[steady ocean]

It appears as if it was a Tank, a Mage, and a Cleric at a minimum

[sharp vapor]

Ah thanks

[ruby swift]

And ranger will be in A1. But you only saw 3 of those in the video. Cleric, mage, and tanks.

Rogue is meant to be sixth with no timeline given on release so far. Followed by either summoner or bard to finish up.

[sharp vapor]

So probably 3 clerics, 1 tank, 3 mages in the vid

[ruby swift]

Yes, but don't look at any of it as typical party composition. It is just for fun and to give people their addiction fix for news. Many things are still being worked on, and the gameplay will change radically between now and even further testing.

[sharp vapor]

Yep

[lone kelp]

Is there a video of the devs saying how the stress test went last weekend?

[ruby swift]

Any information about the testing would have been in the latest livestream

[midnight wolf]

There is a video in the "news-aoc" that would be latest video.

General question in regards to the nodes, it was mentioned in the latest video that the node system has had some changes made to it. I was just wondering what affects these changes would have on us as players and if the mayoral/political systems have adapted because of it?

[steady ocean]

We won't know until they tell us the details of the changes. Do you remember them specifying what the changes were?

[midnight wolf]

It sounded like it revolved around the production side of generating and making the nodes.

[ruby swift]

Yes, they were hard templates before, now they are procedural based on factors in the node.

Jeffrey has talked about this, not in detail, but a few lines in previous livestreams.

[midnight wolf]

Ok, so would you know if they have made changes to mayoral system because of it?

[ruby swift]

Mainly relates to layouts of node settlements on spawn. Location, and how they follow terrain.

If they didn't talk about it in the last livestream, no one else can.

[midnight wolf]

Thanks for the info guys, I was just wanting to gain more information about it now that's being implemented and developed. Cheers

[dark jungle]

there are too many unknowns to make any kind of prediction 😏

[ruby swift]

Baaa Dumm Tschisssss 🥁 . I got the joke Lex.

[midnight wolf]

[twilit panther]

U are unable to buy multiple packs

I pretty sure

(On one account)

No, Once you buy a pack you are able to buy cosmetics standalone for all future pre order cosmetics released past the one you got.

Yeah np

[woven vale]

Note: you can only buy individual cosmetics within your pack tier

Once you buy a pack you can then upgrade

[quasi latch]

will i be able for example if i pick tulnar to have draconic tail for example only like specific things and still look human?

[south pier]

Also i really used to love bringing up sunken treasures in archeage made me feel rewarded really hope something like that is gonna be a feature aswell

Is the battle royal still running for AoC?

[ruby swift]

It is currently down and is not scheduled or planned to come back at this time. It served it's testing purpose.

[lilac blade]

Ty, I was trying to work out what on my pc I could delete to reinstall it, but if the BR isn't running I won't worry about it

[ruby swift]

Yes, and you might want to look for the uninstall instructions for APOC. As it is an unfinished product, there are some files that an uninstaller misses, that may cause you issues with an mmo Ashes install at a later date

How ready is intripid in terms of people who hack and exploit the game? How strong will its anti-cheat will be?

Most games are ruined by cheaters too

[woven vale]

Intrepid will be including a standard anticheat (in part of the core game) and an active gm team

[arctic sky]

There are also unannounced things that work against cheaters.. They have it baked in their game not slapped on at the end

[rain orchid]

Hi guys, what is Aoc battle Royale?

[woven vale]

It was called Apoc and a testing phase

The BR was the first phase (which resulted in them fixing a year worth of work)

The second phase would be Castle Siege, and the 3rd Monster Coin

Due to A1 being moved back, we do not know if Apoc will return

It may, or may not

[rain orchid]

Ok cool, thanks!

[quaint coral]

Do we know if the "Tank" Archtype is a placeholder name or not? Seems.. interesting for a mideval-esq period to have a occupation/class/study of combat style to be named after a comparitive description. Though I have seen another game do it before. (Unless there is some older origin for the term I'm unaware of)

Alrighty, thanks Jahlon 👍

[bronze whale]

Hey, what about the healers?

'Cause you have healers like in FF being mostly dps and focusing on damage

[short flint]

Healers have DPS spec's. Healers also have attacks they do to restore HP/Mana.

[misty raptor]

What game should I play to get ready for aoc’s combat? I’ve never played a tab target, only really bdo’s action.

[digital yacht]

we dont know, there will be a combat overhaul in march so good question 🙂

[lean marlin]

Ffxiv is a good place to start.

[woven vale]

I'd say Guild War 2

Would be the most similar to Ashes combat (from what we've seen without overhaul)

Note: I barely played GW2 so I can't comment too much on it, this is just other people's consensus

[mighty rampart]

Saw the new Mage preview I love the Prismatic laser ability it's more unique than other staff seen if you could do things kind of more unique with the other classes to kind of make it stand out that would be awesome

Also do you plan on implementing a possibility of making unique summons that you can only obtained in the node world or unique animals for Tamers that can be combined with them Mage system where you can actually take on certain abilities or passives similar to that of the player character build?

[woven vale]

I don't believe we've been told anything about this, so leaning on no.

Looks dope im glad i invested in the early system to bad i had to sell my pc to pay rent cause of corona economy well mabie ill have one by the time u bring it out hoping to see good things looking like its taking a cool turn thus far just hoping ur sole focus doesnt stay with the pvp like to see more unique dungeons to each node and unique or developming stores to each new node linked with each faction influnced by both the mass players and individual s that would be epic

Got it just swinging ideas

[woven vale]

If you want to throw in some ideas and concepts with a chance of the dev team reading and considering it, I do recommend posting it on the forums.

[mighty rampart]

Hmmn ok sounds good

[pallid cobalt]

Do we know how many skills you can run at one time?

[civic obsidian]

do we know how many skillpoints vs how many skill will be available ?

alrighty

[simple oyster]

question about roles: are roles dependent on the primary class you pick? i.e. cleric primary + x secondary = healer? or it it more nuanced than that? Or will this be sorted out in later testing?

[woven vale]

Primary class determines skills

Secondary class can augment those skills but never adds any skills

[simple oyster]

So for example: Tank = Tank, Cleric/Bard = Healer, everything else = dps?

[woven vale]

Summoner is a jack of all trade, so it could build into anything

[simple oyster]

ah so similar to WoW sort of in that regard

So you could probably do Fighter spec tank for Fighter spec dps

makes sense

Anyone know what the group composition will be with 8 players? 2 tanks 2 healers 4 dps maybe?

[civic obsidian]

probly missing support there, but yeah they said they will balance combat around 8 man groups not sure about the compositions tho

[simple oyster]

healer/support

[pale aspen]

small scale best scale

[teal ibex]

I'm not sure if this has been asked yet, but in AoC will we be able to create and customize our own NPCs?

[empty night]

Since most of the dungeon and raiding content will be open world. If I rock up with my group and someone else rocks up with their group, what happens if we both just decide to smack the boss. Is there any anti-zerg information right now?

[crystal beacon]

:(

[daring prawn]

given that this game is made on the unreal engine (i think tell me if i am whrong) do you think that this game could be posible that this game could be ported to mac a i am asking 100% out of cerosity as i don't think that there is a good resion to to try to coax this on to mac

unreal has been done on mac before but from a technical stand point it wood moast likely come down to what API is being ussed

hmm kinda weird given the ps5 and xbox series x/s are powerfull enufgh

honistly though i am more interstied to see how demanding it will be when all the full relase comes out

[karmic vapor]

All about economics. If the demand isnt there for mac they wont pay developers to make it

[spiral pine]

mac as a gaming platform is very dead

[indigo obsidian]

mac overall = joke

[proven crystal]

Any news on rogue?

[dark jungle]

not as yet

[proven crystal]

Ok

[dusk sorrel]

so i heard that the animal husbandry system affects combat stats does that mean there will be mounted combat

[steady ocean]

Mounts will have various combat abilities. However, your character cannot cast abilities while mounted, only your mount can.

[dusk sorrel]

ok still cool

[crystal beacon]

Will Rogues get full stealth capabilities like in WOW?

[desert ivy]

That's not the current plan. Current plan is you can see a shimmer of them through their invisibility/stealth, kinda like Camo in Halo

[crystal beacon]

Oh. So then it's pointless since you can be seen. What's the point in stealth then?
I only want to play as a Rogue, if I can't fully stealth i probably won't play

[desert ivy]

Can't be hit by tab spells

Plus in the chaos of large scale PvP, it will be hard to see Rogues

[sturdy orbit]

do we have a bard skills already? sorry missing out a lot

going full support bard/bard here minstrel

[desert ivy]

Nope. We know pretty much nothing about Bard. The only skills we have are for the level 1-10 skills for Cleric, Tank, and Mage

!wiki bard

[tender hearth]

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Bard

[desert ivy]

that's all we know about Bard

Bard will be one the last classes that will be unveiled, along with Summoner

[crystal beacon]

True. But world pvp it's useless. If it was made so you would be invisible while not moving id be okay with that. But if you 're still seen I don't think I'll play the game. I only want to play as a Rogue.

[sturdy orbit]

ohh.. pretty exciting :D! specially for full supports like myself

[crystal beacon]

Rogue with no stealth is pointless

[sturdy orbit]

i think thats a basic skills for agility type.. it's like the blink for rouges

althou that is the one spell that is very hard to balance..

[lean marlin]

@crystal beacon you have stealth as a rogue. It's just not straight invis. I'd also look up the pvp variants for the game. I think you're more concentrated on ganks than actual pvp.

[steady ocean]

@crystal beacon You should probably wait and see what the rogue plays like before choosing either way. In the battle royale, even with the shimmer it was very difficult to see someone stealthed.

[desert ivy]

Game isn't balanced around 1v1s

[crystal beacon]

I'm not a fan of ganking, prefer pvp

But still Its not stealth if you can be seen is it.

[steady ocean]

Yes, it is.

[desert ivy]

It is?

[steady ocean]

Stealth is not invisibility

[sturdy orbit]

well there will be variants of stealth correct?

[desert ivy]

Plus, we don't know what the augments are. Maybe going Rogue/Rogue allows you to augment your stealth to full invis.

[sturdy orbit]

like if it is rouge rouge then I think that would be invis

[lean marlin]

If you guys want to discuss stealth we can do it in #aoc-discussion

[steady ocean]

This may be better continued in #aoc-discussion though

[crystal beacon]

Well if stationary and my stealth was invis I'd be okay with. But being seen at all times just breaks the rogue class.

[crystal beacon]

No, but the devs have stated they will give us plenty of advance notice before they remove them

ok excelent

ty

[real parrot]

So like

I bought the 375 pack back in the day I think it was the swamp themed one how can I see what it came with bc Idr if alpha 2 access was a one of them

[woven vale]

You have A2 not A1

To check what you have

Go to your account and inventory

[real parrot]

[quasi latch]

why are they not selling A1 access anymore 😭

[lean marlin]

Because they don't need to right now.

[full badger]

They hit the limit on the amount of testers they needed for Alpha 1, so they stopped selling it. There is a possibility they will open up sales again if they need more testers for it, but not otherwise.

Is there any estimation when the Ashes will be launched? Sorry if I doubled the question, but i couldnt find the answer :)

there is no date for launch as yet

[woven vale]

The community guesstimation is 2-3 years

[elder mountain]

Ouch :/

So, L2 still over my schedule in next 2-3 years 😂

[woven vale]

Yeah it ranges, some expect late 2022 (if everything goes perfect), or Early - Mid 2023 (With some delays accounted for)

The general consensus though its that it's late 2022 at the absolute earliest

[elder mountain]

Lets hope it will be as soon as possible :)

Thabks for kind answers 😊

[magic bridge]

Alright so i'm in a bind. I just tried logging in today and I'm getting "Username or password do not match the length or complexity requirements" with possible solutions including things i've already done.

on a second computer. Account is already migrated from the old system, and I was able to log in and change settings on my original computer up until 5 minutes ago, when it just started doing the same thing.

[dark jungle]

you need to send in a ticket

[clear sedge]

Have they shown the character creator or not yet ?

[onyx knoll]

no, they plan to have a fairly extensive one so it'll most likely not be ready for quite some time still

Steven has mentioned he would like something similar to BDO but even better so you could look at that to get an idea of what they have in mind

[sharp vapor]

Do we know if there are other ways to get beta access other than through store packages

[woven vale]

Giveaways and packages...that is about it.

Streamers will be giving out Beta keys though.

[sharp vapor]

Is that guaranteed the only way or are those just the ways announced

Ah ok

[woven vale]

Im leaning on the former very heavily

[sharp vapor]

Through twitch like Valorant?

[woven vale]

Yes.

[sharp vapor]

Lol

Ok great thanks

[woven vale]

Note: Beta keys may not be a widespread as Valorant though where everyone and their mother could likely get one.

[sharp vapor]

Ya makes sense

My dad got one in like 2 hours over the minimum after I waited 20 more

It was funny cause he barely played

[crystal beacon]

When Will th cosmetic shop change?

[steady ocean]

Jan 13th

[copper token]

Will it be possible to purchase or obtain past cosmetics? Just found out about this game and though about buying a bundle but I’ve seen past cosmetics I like and was wondering if there’s a way to obtain those.

[sharp vapor]

“Unfortunately”

[copper token]

Ah ok that’s unfortunate there’s a few I really liked but guess that’s on me for finding this game this late 😂

[tropic forge]

I am thinking late 2022 for official release. but i just to play a polished game. Tired of game companies releasing broken games.

[woven vale]

Community estimate is late 2022 (generally moreso early to mid 2023) release at the earliest with everything going right. Generally we predict it'll be out in 2-3 years

[crystal beacon]

I´ve seen a few saying it will be 3 more years :p

[reef osprey]

i've seen a few saying, that the earth is flat

[ruby gyro]

I would say 2 years as well,the company is growing

[woven vale]

2-3 years is the general estimate

[sharp vapor]

When do you think the betas will be released

I assume there will be a time between alpha 2 and beta 1 so that they can implement changes

[crystal beacon]

The betas? Pfffffft we don't even have a date for Alpha 2!

[sharp vapor]

Tru

It was more of a ask what the community thinks for other opinions

[crystal beacon]

Tbh the guesses would be more accurate once we find out the date for Alpha 2

Then we can expect how long it will take for each phase to start

[sharp vapor]

Fair thanks

[crystal beacon]

If I buy the Voyager Plus Pre-Order Pack would I be able to purchase previous cosmetics from the same pack tier or only future cosmetics?

[sharp vapor]

From what I know if you buy a cheaper pack you can upgrade with no extra cost getting the cosmetics that are in the shop at that time. So to answer your question no I don’t think so

But you can upgrade with the new cosmetics

[crystal beacon]

Thank you!

[sharp vapor]

Np

[desert ivy]

Yeah you can't buy past cosmetics, only future ones of the tier you have

[winter hazel]

Does anyone know how payment with amazon works? When you go to checkout it says you can pay with amazon. Will it use your amazon balance?

[dark jungle]

they will advertise for GM positions when the time is right, yep

Where can we watch streams

[steady ocean]

Twitch & Youtube and perhaps the other streaming platforms. They usually upload to their YT official channel their streams https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfbi2EvzQmIJ55TJvZumNZw

[low lantern]

You can find all the old streams on a wiki as well

[west snow]

I have 3 questions,

1. can rogues wear swords ? if yes, can they wield 2 one handed swords to dual wield?
2. is it worth using a sword for rogues ? or just use fighter that specialize in sword combat instead ?
3. are there ranks for gears ? Like for some typical rpgs where there's
   Normal>rare>unique>legendary grade gears or something ? im checking the wiki and i cant seem to find the info that i wanted to look for or im just bad at finding them.. sorry and thanks to whoever's going to answer this.

[lean marlin]

1. any class can use any weapon, so yes.
2. Don't have info on that really, but just do it.
3. Yes.

[west snow]

well.. i dont have the alpha account one so... i really wanna try it but i'll just wait for beta or something >.<

[west snow]

i found the answer right after you answered as well for the 3rd one haha

[steady ocean]

You can watch streamers & other content creators test out various builds when the NDA lifts in March and April @west snow

[west snow]

definitely watching that ❤️

[woven vale]

They can't answer anything in Alpha

Due to NDA

I can state however that Rogues aren't in Alpha yet

Only 5/8 classes are currently in it

[west snow]

well, im looking forward to the game as i've been checking this out or blue protocol, i kinda prefer a game like this because of how many rpg games that i played. i kinda asked myself if im going to invest in bp or this, im kinda leaning onto this one tbh

and people + streams are quite attractive then here's this active community to boot, so yeah.. this is going to be my main mmo once its released

i just hope that the sea/asian server of this game would be released at the same date when the global is released

i saw that on the wiki too. dunno tho if sea/oce is released at the same time when na servers are up

i really do hope so XD

in which category on the aoc forums can i post a suggestion or ask them if they have the idea already in plan or if they'll implement it ? im kinda lost to whether post it on the community creations or just in the general discussion

[lean marlin]

just post it in general.

[digital yacht]

Where’d u get this info from?

[woven vale]

It was public info on a stream

I'm not in A1 so I can't leak

[digital yacht]

Well it’s wrong 😂

[woven vale]

They stated only fighter, ranger, mage, tank, cleric will be initially in A1

[digital yacht]

5/8 are planned for alpha not in yet

[woven vale]

Taking it to dms

[digital yacht]

Not NDA it’s public knowledge..
