steam but 2 years late

[full badger]

Apocalypse was shut down after it fulfilled it's purpose, sorry.

[blissful walrus]

ok,thanks guy

[simple oyster]

The biggest reason for people to attack nodes will probably to unlock new content and stuff like that, don't really see how it could be static in an unhealthy way

[digital yacht]

[tender hearth]

No matching results. Try something else.

[lone magnet]

!wiki voice

will be there voice chat

[full badger]

Yes, for certain channels

[lone magnet]

so not voice vicinity :(?

ah nvm is local

wierd list

[onyx knoll]

no proximity voice chat so far

[lone magnet]

missed oppurtunity

[glad sleet]

A dodged bullet* 😄

[teal spade]

yeah fuck proximity voice

[full badger]

Feel free to discuss voice chat more in the #aoc-discussion channel 🙂

[teal spade]

its not human conversation, its hearing kids yelling behind, dog barking, heavy breathing, trolls, griefers, straight out ppl who like to insult others. proximity voice chat is a disease in every game and end up being muted

[teal spade]

yeah sry

[lone magnet]

I disagree but as mist says not here

[bold bear]

When we're told that the TTK will be at least 30 seconds, does that mean that incoming damage will be capped at 3.33% of total health per second? Or is there another interpretation?

Thanks. I thought my understanding seemed strange!

[hollow pine]

Is the game crowfall related to this company at all? It looks very familiar with websites and purchases etc..

[dark jungle]

no relationship

[hollow pine]

k never heard of that one and just saw it today. Eerily familiar websites etc

[woven vale]

Website is about to get an overhaul

[neat kiln]

Is there a more extensive read through of the classes right now? as in im interested in what secondaries provide what augments etc

[woven vale]

We know almost nothing about secondaries/augments

That'll be better known in A2

[neat kiln]

alright thanks

I had hope 😛

[native gorge]

Have they even completed all archetype abilities yet?

[dark jungle]

no

we only have a few archetypes so far, more to come

also there is a combat rework going on, so expect things to change

[native gorge]

So I guess they need to complete those before we even get a leak of secondaries and augments

[dark jungle]

yeah id agree with that

[native gorge]

So the fireball ability was said to be reworked, will this mean all basic abilities have a slightly less dramatic animation?

[dark jungle]

yeah most likely

steven already said the firework animation would be toned down

[native gorge]

Also is there any info on what they're reworking for combat?

[dark jungle]

not yet

[native gorge]

Will that come out in the letter?

[dark jungle]

he hasnt said what is in the letter to my knowledge

[median imp]

Will they or have they done more videos showing off the classes like they did the cleric. Or do they have somewhere that I can read up on class abilities

[craggy totem]

there will be more videoes for it

[craggy totem]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQo1WK0HkcI

[jaunty depot]

What other games will AoC be like when it comes to combat.

[full badger]

The closest right now is probably GW2, but that's a very loose comparison @jaunty depot

[jaunty depot]

Alright, thx

[craggy totem]

The combat rework have yet to be seen by the public eye

But they say a mix between tab and action

And roughly a 75% cap in either direction

[jaunty depot]

Roger, ty

[honest solstice]

will tames be able to evolve like wolf to greater wolf when leveled up ? if so will there be options for how you want them to evolve like if u want a faster pet you evolve it into a speedy wolf or smth

[craggy totem]

That would go inder anomal husbandery @honest solstice

[honest solstice]

thx

[craggy totem]

And yes you can breed for states

Stats

!wiki animal husbandry

[tender hearth]

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Animal_husbandry

[jaunty depot]

Do we have info on what races are most proficient with each archetype, i'm guessing that elves would mby be better at archery and magic and stuff, but as i'm interested in the tank role i was curious about which race would fit the best together with it

[civic obsidian]

Not yet

We just know race will somewhat have a bit of an effect

[jaunty depot]

Alright, understood

[craggy totem]

It has been stated there is desire to have all races viable for all classes so no need to pick a race for a class unless you want every edge possible

[crystal beacon]

guild recruitment spam shouldn't be allowed imo, only 1 per guild would be better

in all guild recruitment chats pls

[native gorge]

expanding this question above: there's 8 archetypes but only 7 races...should we expect some sort of overlap between a races bonus class proficiency?

[marble basin]

Theres 9 races

effectively

2 of each human, dwarf, elf and orc and then tulnar

[native gorge]

Oops forget one...

Question still stands but reverse it

[crystal beacon]

Do we know what the max level will be?

that is if there is a max level

[dire pond]

50

[native gorge]

Wait fr

[crystal beacon]

okay!

[dire pond]

For character lvl

[marble basin]

50 and at 25 you pick your 2nd archetype to form your class

[crystal beacon]

And 1 more thing, Will we be able to have multiple characters on 1 account? Considering oh I hit level 30, maybe I choose the wrong archetypes and would like to try something different.

[native gorge]

I have to get 50% of the level base to get the augments?

[marble basin]

i beleive steven said there will be a healthy amount of character slots

[crystal beacon]

Thanks! That sounds awesome

[dire pond]

Yeah comfortable amount

My guess is around 4-5 alts

[marble basin]

basically yes

[dire pond]

10 000 active players per server / 50 000 character per server

[native gorge]

Dayum that's gonna be a grind

[icy niche]

hey as you have banned the use of wm and multiboxing on same device to counter bots, im a person who like to multibox legit, and im woundering if i run 2 seperate pc's but use a software like synergy to allow me to extend my pc to include both devices with connection with same mouse and keyboard is this also considered not allowed?

[dire pond]

Yeah cause you using micro cheat

[icy niche]

tecnically not im using a remote connection to the other pc

[dire pond]

Maybe set up 1 pc for hands and one for feet

[icy niche]

sort of like teamviewer and parsec is using

[crystal beacon]

lol 1 one for feet!

[dire pond]

Cant say if its illegal, i know i will be using 2 joystick for my 2 accounts

[icy niche]

you see i got several monitors and want them 1 of the games on my 4th screen where i do less active stuff on

[dire pond]

If both character dont do the same movement at the same time and you dont use pre program micro, i dont see a problem

[icy niche]

ofc not, then i would be breaking the rules

just trying to find a good option to legally multibox 😛

[rose wind]

Both your PCs will have the same IP so you may be at risk of whatever anti-cheat they use looking upon you with suspicion if your char movements are too synced: it will still look like multiboxing even if it's technically different PCs

[dire pond]

Gf

[icy niche]

pritty sure they dont get same ip. and the software in question basicly workes like a second screen just seamless cursor movement between them

[dire pond]

Use a vpn for the second pc

[icy niche]

so 2nd pc is connected to monitor 2, and main is to all the other screens, and i just move cursor across to pc'2

[crystal beacon]

ok one more question, I'm looking at the pre ordering options. On the schedule I see a "Head start for crowdfunding backers at the Founder level and above"... I am having trouble finding the "Founder level" in any of the descriptions. Does anyone know if the pre order options include the Founder level?

[icy niche]

you cant get that any longer, only Alpha 2 thats purchaseable

[crystal beacon]

ok, thank you

[marble basin]

Yeah founder was back at the kickstarter

and the headstart is 1-2 days maximum

[ruby swift]

This is how the policy stands currently. Players may not use any software to automate character actions or mimic keystrokes.[1][2]

!wiki multiboxing

[tender hearth]

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Multiboxing

[icy niche]

reason is its in the greyzone but would allow me to run my current settup, but i see that that again can cause issues for antibotting

but im not mimmicing tho, iam inputting with keyboard and mouse tho

[ruby swift]

If you click on one pc and it does an action on another, that is automated character action, and you will catch a ban.

[icy niche]

it clicks inside the other pc

just trough same way teamviewer does

which can be seen as mimicing

[ruby swift]

Argue and try to split hairs all you like, just don't be raging on Reddit when you lose accounts with progression you feel you "deserve"

[rose wind]

If the second character isn't automated then you're probably going to be fine, but you know the definition of multiboxing and the anti-cheat software won't care about mental gymnastics, so just use caution

[icy niche]

it does not im aware

[rose wind]

So he's probably ok because that's not automating a second+ character

[icy niche]

yeah i imagine

[ruby swift]

I he hits one button and gets two actions at the same time, he's a bottin.

[rose wind]

Based on reading the wiki, as long as the anti-cheat is satisfied that it's two separate machines and there's no automation going on, he'll be fine. Synergy apparently doesn't automate, so you're fine there, just need to be sure the game doesn't believe you're running two clients on one machine

[icy niche]

yeah will add it 😉

[copper grove]

Question: i can see in one of the posts above that the UI is customizable. will this also inculde the HUD? in my current mmorpg ffxiv the HUD is customizable wich is a good quality of life option in game.

[full badger]

@copper grove https://ashesofcreation.wiki/User_interface The references are listed on the wiki page

[copper grove]

thx

[bold bear]

I've read the wiki on Player housing and Instancing. I understand that there will be limited Freehold housing in the node and surrounding node ZOI. I'd like to clarify Instanced Apartments saying that there will be an initial 50 apartments at node stage 3 (village). Does this mean that there will only be one apartment block with a limit of 50 instances available? Or a small number of apartment blocks with a smaller number of instances available? Or something else?
.
I'm thinking that 50,000 players all looking for accommodation will take several months to be housed (assuming that they want to be), waiting for 103 nodes to be advanced.

[dire pond]

Its 1 freehold, 1 in node housing per account not per character

And its 8 cottages at stage 3 going up per lvl if the node mayor decide to build more houses instead of other buildings

[bold bear]

I doubt I'm going to be lucky (or time committed) enough to get a freehold or static housing. When you say "cottages" does that mean "apartments" or "static housing" in node?

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Player_housing

[dire pond]

In node housing. They are called that at stage 3, stage 6 they become mansions.

Keeping a house will be the hard part, paying taxes each month and the bigger the house the bigger the taxes.

[void coral]

But would you think that there will be enough "houses" for every player? Or might they just go for "phased housing"

[dire pond]

Not for all no, maybe freehold yes but in node no, thats why you can build appartments or inn.

[void coral]

I see

I think you might as well be able to rent rooms in taverns/inns

[dire pond]

Yes exactly for temporary traveler

[bold bear]

I think the term used for "phased housing" is "instanced". One building which has the same bit of 3D space with multiple occupants in their own instance of the same apartment.

[rose wind]

It's probably not envisaged that every player will want a Player House anyway

[dire pond]

Appartements for players who want to be citizen.

[ruby swift]

Yep, since you have to "own" property to declare citizenship. As with many things, they have a stated intent, but actual development of those systems and limits have yet to be shown.

[bold bear]

I think players will hit their backpack (and saddlebag?) limit quite quickly and need somewhere to store stuff. We should probably move to a discussion channel, although I'd still like to understand instanced housing better.

[dire pond]

You dont have to own to be a citizen

[ruby swift]

Yep, you do.

[bold bear]

The answer from the community was that an apartment building will have 50 instances and starting at node level 4 the mayor will have the option of adding more apartment blocks with the same capacity. This is my current understanding of the wiki.

[ruby swift]

We had this conversation clarified months back, when they had accidentally swapped the process during one of the tests we can talk about. It caused people to think that chicken/egg fight was real. To declare citizenship in a node, you have to own property in it.

[ruby swift]

Also a measure to keep people from flooding nodes with shills to throw elections in say a scientific node. Adds a barrier to entry.

Different server.

[dire pond]

So if the node is full on the instant housing, i cannot become a citizen of it?

[ruby swift]

Correct, that is how they achieve that soft cap that has been talked about

[ruby swift]

@simple ether has this stuff on speed dial, but is probably sleeping atm. Ask him for more details if you don't like how I have explained it.

[oak depot]

I think they are backing on every player wanting a house

you kind of need a house to store goods in...

and you kind of need to defend it to not lose the goods

[ruby swift]

Also, could change during testing, as everything can be. For this one, they actually have that caveat in the wiki. "the hope is that yes citizenship will be only gained through housing; with our caveat that if that doesn't work well we'll change it.[3] – Jeffrey Bard"

[dire pond]

So not all players of the server could have a citizenship?

And if i cannot become a citizen, i cannot store goods in the node warehouse and i cannot have a chest since i dont own a house, where could i put my stuff?

[ruby swift]

people will migrate where citizenship is available. If there is a node blocking you from living where you want because those caps have been reached, excellent motivation to remove them. Choice and Consequence, the mantra has been spoken.

[dire pond]

Gotcha

[oak depot]

103 nodes... lets do some math... assume on avg every node can hit Stage 3 (which we know is impossible... but some will be 6, some 5, some 4... haven't done the algo expansion to see due to blocking what the average is... but assume 3 for now)

[native gorge]

So I can only purchase 1 apartment and 1 in-node housing. I can't buy anymore to rent out to other players?

[oak depot]

103 * (50 + 8 + 8) = 103 * 66 = 6798

50 apts, 8 static houses, 8 freeholds (at Stage 3)

per node

[ruby swift]

You can own 3, freehold, in-node, and instanced. And alts can own in-node and instanced in other locations, just can't declare citizenship there.

Freeholds are not limited by stage, only available location.

[native gorge]

But I'd have to swap through characters to manage my properties?

[haughty reef]

Wait

[oak depot]

@ruby swift I was under impression that as node Stage progress and thus ZOI increases more Freehold plots become available. Is that not the case?

[haughty reef]

Only 1 freehold may be owned per account, as far as I know.

[ruby swift]

Zoi and node borders are different

[oak depot]

true

[native gorge]

Correct just read that on wiki

[dire pond]

Alts can be on different server?

[ruby swift]

Yes, you could, if you have the no-lifer time, have characters on multiple servers. But one freehold on your "main"

[native gorge]

That's way to much effort to make a housing monopoly

I'll just stick to my public freehold with a tavern and inn

[ruby swift]

Since there is no server swapping planned, (and even down the line if implemented will be a painful, and irl costly process) won't really impact anything besides spreading your effort

[dire pond]

Yeah, cannot run a real estate buisness

[native gorge]

F

[oak depot]

well you can "flip" houses

you can't start a real-estate empire though

[native gorge]

Which I'll probably do

[ruby swift]

Yes, get in when a node is lower level, and hope someone one wants it when it is a metro.

[native gorge]

I'll just live in my inn tbh

if is becomes a metro

[ruby swift]

Any other questions I can answer? We are starting to deviate into discussion.

[oak depot]

[native gorge]

Yeah, when can I play the game?

Jk jk

[ruby swift]

Why do you think people are not playing it right now?

[native gorge]

Chill, I was kidding...

[ruby swift]

As was I, I would never mean to break NDA

[native gorge]

Hehe or would you?

God I hate that fucking bot

What was the first class breakdown that we got from Intrepid?

Mage or ranger?

[vapid veldt]

Breakdown or video?

[craggy totem]

Mage i think not 100% sure

[dire pond]

Cleric?

[woven vale]

Cleric

[native gorge]

Mb Mage or cleric

[woven vale]

We never got ranger

[ruby swift]

The current class vids are cleric, then mage.

[dire pond]

Then summoner

Xd

[native gorge]

So we got cleric 3rd November then we got Mage 24 December. Can we expect another class this month?

[native gorge]

Did they already confirm that's the next one?

[woven vale]

Hes jokin

Summoner, Rogue, and Bard aren't even done yet

[full badger]

The summoner class will likely be one of the last ones discussed

[native gorge]

Oh ok

[native gorge]

Wdym "done yet" the video not done yet or the classes not developed yet

[woven vale]

Classes

[full badger]

Also we aren't usually told in advance when new videos are released, they like to keep us on our toes shrugs

[woven vale]

5/8 classes are ready and playable on A1 launch, the rest to be finished by the end of alpha 1 (i think)

The ready ones being: Ranger, Fighter, Mage, Cleric, and Tank

[native gorge]

Fighter as in Rogue?

[full badger]

No, Fighter as in Fighter

[woven vale]

Rogue, Bard, and Summoner are not done

[full badger]

!wiki classes

[tender hearth]

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Classes

[woven vale]

Currently Rogue is basically fighter (as to why it isn't out)

[native gorge]

Bruh there's a fighter class?!

Brb

[woven vale]

Yes generic warrior

[native gorge]

Ah lol, didn't even know

[oak depot]

We got Cleric first.... then it was supposed to be Tank but instead they gave us Mage and said "we did some shuffling" (all was said... no reasoning provided). Chances are Tank is next

[native gorge]

Will secondary classes and augments be done before A1 finishes?

[full badger]

Unlikely

[woven vale]

No

They are planned for A2

A1 will contain primary classes.

[craggy totem]

Tank is the only name i dont like, seems too 4th wall

[native gorge]

Ooft

[ruby swift]

Since the planned cap for A1 is 20, and secondaries don't apply till 25, look for A2 implementation.

[native gorge]

To be fair there's a shit ton of them to cover

[ruby swift]

There are multiple threads on the forums about Tank naming going back to when they were announced. So far, none of class names or archetypes have been changed, but best place to leave your feedback on it.

[copper grove]

will the game release with 7 races btw ?

[ruby swift]

8

[native gorge]

9...?

[ruby swift]

and probably 9, though the 9th is a stretch goal so is not required to be ready on "live launch"

[rose wind]

I'm looking forward to hearing about Summoner, it's the class I'm wanting to play, as I enjoy the Summoner/Beastmaster style of play

[copper grove]

i know of 7 ( 2x human, 2x dwarf, 2xelf, 2xorc, 1x mixrace ) sorry don't know the correct names in ashes

what is the 8th

[ruby swift]

You have a bit of a wait. As pointed out above Summoner will be one of the last two developed and released

[rose wind]

You've listed 9 there Coco

[woven vale]

Yeah that's nine lol

[native gorge]

Hehe

don't wanna add to the mountain i'd feel bad so another time

[dusky dew]

I was wondering, will we be able to view every guild members artisan class levels in some way like in a guild UI?

Hmm i myself want it as an option so our guild can more easily work together knowing which players are able to do what artisan class well with their experience in that class.

A hide'able option would seem best.

because i can see negatives to this if it could not be hidden

If this system wont be in place my guild and i will have to come up with an alternative to work together more efficiently

i made a google sheet already but it does not allow for individual fields of protection for individual people.
Basically i wanted each user to only be able to edit his own row of information within the field. Sadly it's an all or nothing deal, full protection or none.

I can't rely on no protection because people will troll and change info of other users or even delete things

[rose wind]

Job an officer to keep it updated

[dusky dew]

lmao

you're hired

i am looking into discord bots now to achieve what i want in a different way. Hope i can get it done

it only takes one person to mess with everything and guilds can house up to 300 players currently

[rose wind]

I'm telling you man, get an officer you trust and have them do it, they'll just get people to feed them the info anyway

[digital yacht]

just have them type what they doing in a channel and fill it out yourself and make it read only

[dusky dew]

maybe, right now a kind soul is helping me create a custom bot

if that doesn't work tho

thnx for suggestions

[woven vale]

if they choose all the people perks, remember many guilds will be 50-100 for advantages

[rose wind]

Mechanical guild and social guild won't be the same thing. You'll have one guild spread across multiple in-game guilds specifically for those perks

They'll all be in the same disc, recognise the same overall GM, etc...

hmm im sure its somewhere in the wiki if u dig around

No luck so far, but I'll keep looking. Thanks

[plucky pawn]

Some of that info is listed here: https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Crafted_items

"A crafter's name is embedded in the items they craft"

[glass sun]

That part I understand, I just wanted to know if crafters will have the ability to give a crafted item a custom name.

Thanks for the quick response though.

[digital yacht]

its been brought up before, but steven is leaning toward the side of NO bc of bad names and such same with mayors naming their nodes

u coulda add profanity filters but they would also need ppl to monitor EVERYSINGLE CRAFTED ITEM, being made, (but tbf to counter that make it so only master crafters/unlock an expensive perk) to name them to lessen the amount made.

[spark lark]

It also is just confusing for the sake of clarity. Much easier to find an item for sell that you want when it doesn't have some random custom name someone gave it

[digital yacht]

well it would still be "that item" in the search, with a custom name

like in CSGO naming skins the gun is still a Dragon Lore, but with a name

[glass sun]

Yeah, I suppose that makes sense. Would still be cool if master craftsmen were able to name a legendary-quality sword they invested a lot of resources into
Also I don't think clarity would be an issue, since you could always display the name of the actual weapon underneath the custom name with a smaller font.

[grim cradle]

Will there be any Easter Eggs/Secrets in AoC? just wondering cause I like to explore areas a lot.

Yes

Does citizenship benefices only apply on the zoi of the node or is bound to the character who has citizenship?

[rose wind]

What the exact benefits are of Citizenship aren't explained in much detail right now so it's hard to say

Things like titles might exist everywhere in the world, but if benefits include things like discounts at Node shops or access to citizen-only quests then you'd need to physically be present to enjoy those

Participating in elections may need you to be within the Node to cast your vote, buy votes, participate in the arena election, etc

Don’t forget that the Harvest’s Dawn addons will be removed on December 2, 2020 at 11:00 a.m. Pacific. Pacific when the new cosmetics swap over.

Maybe that will be a feature once they roll out the long promised website changes.

[harsh kernel]

I bought the Voyager Plus Pre-Order Pack but do not see information on how to access the game. Am I missing something or just being impatient? (this was about an hour ago)

[gloomy badge]

Voyager plus has only A2 in it, not A1

[crystal beacon]

you are just impatient

[harsh kernel]

lol ok. any ideas on when to expect it?

Thank you!

Is there any more information on classes other than what is published here? It mentions more detail will come in 2018...
https://ashesofcreation.com/news/class-list

[stable plover]

!wiki classes

[tender hearth]

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Classes

[stable plover]

The wiki should have more info, including some stuff like sample base abilities

[crystal beacon]

on the wiki there is the most information

[harsh kernel]

Oh this is much better! Thank you! I was just going off what was in the #faq channel.

From reading through this it sounds like there won't really be 64 flavors but essentially 128. If primary archetype is what everything based off it won't be just Spellsword it will be Mage - Spellsword and Fighter - Spellsword which will behave distinctly different. Is my understanding tracking with reality?

Also, please feel free to tell me I'm in the wrong channel. I wasn't sure if this should go in #questions or #aoc-discussion

[desert ivy]

No. Spellsword is the combination of Fighter + Mage

[rain spade]

the table isn't symmetric - so you're right, but the result is 64

fighter mage = spellsword
mage fighter = battle mage

[rose wind]

Spellsword is fighter main mage secondary. Mage main and fighter secondary is battlemage

[desert ivy]

There's 64 flavours of class combinations. Then there is potentially more "flavour" combinations when you add in augments from other sources like religions, social organisations, races, etc.

[harsh kernel]

ahhh! I was reading the table wrong. I missed the primary secondary headers 🤦‍♂️

[crystal beacon]

his is the Help Desk channel so i guess its if you need help

this *

[rose wind]

Talents is right though there's augments from sources beyond your class choice to throw in

We don't know how significant or not they are in terms of changing playstyle

[onyx knoll]

No, this is a questions channel for the community to help each other with generic questions, if you actually need help then you should contact customer support 😉

[crystal beacon]

okay

so basically its allowed to have discussion in here ?

[rose wind]

You can ask questions but longer discussions probably go to other channels

Like #aoc-discussion

[onyx knoll]

You can ask questions related to the game, but if it turns into a discussion where people are giving opinions, then we ask that it's moved to either #general-discussion or #aoc-discussion

[flat lichen]

Is the mmorpg for ashes of creation going to be free?

[gloomy badge]

No boxcost but monthly sub

[stable plover]

The MMO is subscription based (15$ a month), no initial box/DLC/expansion price

[harsh kernel]

will AoC support 32:9 out the gate? (or at all)

[dark jungle]

yes it does

[native gorge]

I've brought this up in the past but I want to clarify, the Alpha Spec Requirements....will they most likely increase or decrease upon release?

[desert ivy]

Most likely increase.

Steven has said in the past that he wants the final game to look much better

so yeah, no reason why that wouldn't equate to an increase

ofc you also have to take into account them optimising the game, but still

[native gorge]

Based On current cpus and gpus, what would you project the recommended specs be ?

[desert ivy]

I have no idea. The most we know is that they've said that they want the game to be playable on hardware that is 5 years old at the time of release.

[native gorge]

How many years estimated until release again?

2.5?

[desert ivy]

There isn't an official release date. Most people estimate 2-3 but that's entirely opinion based

[native gorge]

So perhaps a 1660 super will be the lowest recommended specs by then?

(Is that remotely plausible?)

It would be 30 months old if the game releases 2.5 years from now

[steady jasper]

From the latest 4k video the "raid" one, is that the finally combat ? not sure about you guys but i didnt like it at all, nada. seems like they tried to do it "realistic" but somehow it looks slow and clunky ? a im the only one that thinks that ??? sorry about the negativity hopes this doesnt trigger anyone

[desert ivy]

Well seeing as how there's a combat revamp coming in March, no, it's not

[plucky pawn]

Hiya friend! Not sure if you heard us mention in that video or perhaps elsewhere, but we're currently working on a combat revamp in the lead-up to our upcoming testing 😄 we've definitely heard your feedback regarding things like animation locking, the speed of certain abilities, etc

[steady jasper]

Oh nice, that was my concern, but iom glad theres a revamp thanks for the answer! sorry if this was asked before, i bet this gets kinda annoying after awhile lol

[native gorge]

Eh, that's what the admins and OG's are for

[acoustic coral]

Will AoC come out for ps5?

[gloomy badge]

Nope, no plan for console until now

[dusky dew]

Hiya i was wondering, since we're allowed to only master a limited amount of professions within an artisan class. Will we have enough character slots to accommodate room to master every single artisan profession on one account or will we instead be able too reset a professions progress to make room for leveling a new profession on a character? (So we can enjoy all the content of the Artisan Class Trees)

[full badger]

At this point in time we don't know how many professions a single character can master, or how many character slots we'll have per server/account

[dusky dew]

Okay, thank you

[grizzled solstice]

is there somewhere i can see all the abilities for each archetype and class?

[desert ivy]

We only have the abilities for Mage, Cleric, and Tank atm

And even then, they're only the abilities for level 1 - 10

https://youtu.be/7AHwGp-t27M
https://youtu.be/lQo1WK0HkcI
https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Tank#:~:text=Tank is an archetype in,those who ignore their commands.

[grizzled solstice]

well. damn. anyway I can learn more about the classes or the effects each race with have on classes?

or is that info not released yet

[desert ivy]

Not really any info on classes yet (archetype + archetype), and we don't know the effect individual races will have on classes specifically

The wiki has everything we know about the game pretty much, so I recommend checking there

or ashes101

[grizzled solstice]

sounds good, tyvm good sir

u r very helpful 👍

[crystal beacon]

1 question please : The rogue classes in segondaria will have stealth?

@plucky pawn

[desert ivy]

If you pick Rogue as your primary class, then you'll have stealth as an ability.

Stealth doesn't make you truly invisible though, it's kinda like Halo Camo where you can still see the "shimmer" of the other player

[sand nebula]

!wiki rogue

[tender hearth]

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Rogue

[crystal beacon]

@desert ivy principal furtif is ok , this question is for segondary

[desert ivy]

Secondaries don't give new skills

And we don't know anything about class augments

Toast wouldn't be able to answer you about specific secondary augments even if you ping her

[sly ore]

That stealth is useless against a trained eye that played starcraft 2 and halo too much xD

[desert ivy]

not exactly useless, can't be targetted by tab abilities if you have it

[sly ore]

That makes sence

[desert ivy]

but it'll need to be tested during alpha and stuff to see how it actually works in-game and whether it needs to be buffed

[sly ore]

yea

[grizzled solstice]

wait, secondaries dont give new skills?

[desert ivy]

No

They augment your primary skills

[sly ore]

It changes/buffs your previous skills in the direction of the secondary archtypei believe

[grizzled solstice]

ah ok ok

anyone know anything about the tulnar?

[desert ivy]

Not really. Tulnar has been kept under wraps

!wiki tulnar

[dusky dew]

How are questions from the community chosen to be answered in the development update livestreams? Is it through the chat or have they made a specific way to submit questions directly to staff.

In my case the answer to the question i stated before is one that none of Intrepid have ever given information about just yet.

[tulip hatch]

live chat for some and a week before the livestream they make a forum post to compile community questions

[dusky dew]

Ooo a forum post, alright thanks!

[tulip hatch]

For questions that have no answer at this time its best to wait for when they make the announcement for the next livestream and post your question on that thread

after that they go through them and pick 10 or so to answer on the livestream

[dusky dew]

Loud and clear! thnx

[willow obsidian]

If you're a citizen of a node that gets destroyed do you have to find citizenship in another node? what will happen to you?

[desert ivy]

Your housing will be destroyed so yes, you'll have to build/buy a house in another node and get citizenship there

or you can rebuild the node that got destroyed if you want and buy/build a house once it reaches Village stage

[arctic sky]

Your layout is saved though

[ruby swift]

And your decor. You only lose a percentage of gathered and processed goods stored. So don't lose.

[willow obsidian]

Hmm alright, is there really any incentive to rebuild a node that got destroyed when u can just join one that is more developed?

like any benefits that come from it, not sure

[ruby swift]

Depends on whether there are types nearby build up that have what you want. If you love scientific and there are none built up, and yours was just destroyed. Could attempt to rebuild, but you would be locked by the surrounding nodes zoi which would have moved to lock and overlap yours at lower level.

Your node was level 4 for example. Had level 3s surrounding it. Blasted back to zero. Max it is going to get to is 2, without removing the blocking nodes.

[native gorge]

Worst case scenario you won't get the exact same node location as before and may need to relocate to the neighbouring level 3 node that couldn't level before because of your original level 4 node

And wait for that to build to level 4 to get the same node benefits and buildings as your original node ( though not guaranteed because the mayor chooses what buildings will be placed when a node levels up)

is this game going to come out before l2 remastered ? XD

[craggy totem]

we can only wait and see.

[karmic vapor]

Wait I thought if your node is destroyed your house does not get destroyed it's just vulnerable to destruction for x time and then it's part of the new group taking over?

Or is that info out of date / wrong

[civic obsidian]

from the wiki if its a in node house that requires an upgraded node

it will be destroyed

[karmic vapor]

Ahhhhhh ok

[civic obsidian]

for freeholds they would be vulnerable

after a successfull siege

[karmic vapor]

Oh yea that's what I meant to say was talking about freeholds

Not houses in town

Makes sense stuff in tow. Gets destroied

Tyvm

[kind fjord]

what type of in-game systems for espionage/intrigue are being considered?

[karmic vapor]

Wonder if we gonna get to eve levels of paranoia with requiring some sort of api check or screen shot before joining a guild :D

[native gorge]

Gathering info on times node-to-node caravans spawn as well as scouting player caravans as they arise is clearly player driven but there's no specific mechanic that is included to help at this point in time

[native gorge]

Hell no, at least I hope not

[karmic vapor]

Ngl I do kind of like that stuff

[kind fjord]

same, i think supported game mechanics might make it less sweaty though lmao

[native gorge]

Hey it won't stop me getting info for my guild, what would you implement to improve it? @karmic vapor

[civic obsidian]

take it to #aoc-discussion

its not questions anymore

[native gorge]

Lol was about to say it

Was jus making sure there was no active discussion in there already

[ruby swift]

There have been no plans announced to release an API into the wild. In fact, the opposite. So while people may attempt to require certain assurances, others will still be able to spoof those requirements.

[keen halo]

have they released any information on bard abilities? im really curious about how the sub classes will augment buffs/heals/debuffs

If we purchased the Voyager Plus Pre-Order Pack with access to Alpha 2, where do we find the download for the game? I'm hunting and reading and searching and so far no luck.

[tulip hatch]

Currently we're in Alpha 1
So download access is restricted to the a1 testers

When it's your turn to test you'll be provided with the necessary information
However we do not have an eta for alpha 2 at this time

[full trellis]

Spiffy, thanks 🙂

[woven forge]

Hey guys quick question about how exactly upgrading one of the pre order packs works. If I got the Wayfarer pack now for instance and then upgraded to the expeditionary pack in a future month, would i be getting the expeditionary pack cosmetic from the original month that I purchased the wayfarer pack or the month that I upgrade?

[lean marlin]

You would get the pack you have now (right now) and the rest would be for the one in whatever month you upgraded.

[woven forge]

👍 thank you

[cerulean atlas]

is the Alpha still on schedule, behind schedule, or ahead of schedule so far?

[sly ore]

So the sub-nodes reset even if its successfully defended?

[dire pond]

Castles will have royal stables

Only building you know of?

[crystal beacon]

@simple ether That's... Depressing

tbh at that point it might be more fun to lose so you can retake the castle...

Have you thought in the idea to have some items tokenized in the ethereum blockchain so it can be traded freely between users... It can be just cosmetics, so there's no ptw

@astral hinge Yup any positions still listed on our careers site are taking applicants!

[quartz trellis]

They said they may reinstate alpha one orders my question is what about the people who came in late and could only buy the 250 dollar alpha 2 preorder instead?

Or will we be told sorry man you came in too late and you came in too early

[dark jungle]

you will be able to upgrade to alpha 1

[quartz trellis]

How much where the alpha one versions I'm pretty sure they where the same price as the other packs just without alpha 1

[dark jungle]

the alpha 1 pre-order packs were $500

so if you upgrade from an alpha-2 pack, you pay the difference in price

[quartz trellis]

Ok then thank you for your answer

[dark jungle]

$500 not $550, that was a typo

yw

[dire pond]

Im combat, will aoe abilities affect all players? For exemple, in a castle siege we are the attacker and are mixed with other non related guilds, will my aoe healing spell heal them too?

the mmoprg itself of Aoc is the test on the battle royal game

or is it just the battle royal version?

[dire pond]

A1 as already started with 20-25% of the total map in it, the battle royal was just to test the action combat mecanic.

[vale osprey]

so if i buy the 75 one pack i can get into the mmorpg?

[dire pond]

No you can only have the beta pass that has no date yet.

For now if you dont have A1 pass you cannot play anything.

[flat lichen]

will this game be free eventually?

[rose wind]

No box cost but subscription

[crystal beacon]

Thanks for the Creative Director's letter; A question from that: Wouldn't it be better to open Alpha One to those who purchased Alpha Two instead of re-opening Alpha One sales? Especially if the idea is to stress test. I am sure there are quite a few of Alpha Two testers salivating at the chance to play the game 😋 (or do you want their experience to be fresh and not have to experience the bugs that might pop up in A1?)

[dire pond]

Maybe theyll make a higher pack for that.

[full badger]

@crystal beacon We don't know yet how they would do Alpha 1 sales, IF they were to reopen them. Stay tuned for more information.

So maybe the game will be released 2022 holiday season or 2023?

@obsidian knoll @plucky pawn Hello, I have a very serious request. On your website you have follow us options that link to social media. Unfortunately there are a very large number of us that actively avoid some of that social media due to their biased and censorship; whether others believe that to be true or not. I have not been on Twitter or Facebook for over 4 years and I have been actively trying to avoid Youtube as much as I can. I would like to ask that Intrepid at least take under serious consideration the usage of alternative platforms to these. I'm not suggesting not to use them or take any stance toward them at all; I'm simply asking for an alternative to the mainstream social media outlets. Please.

[ruby swift]

So if they put links to right wing parler, you would be happy, but they don't need to post there? What would be the purpose? A nod and a wink towards the red hat brigade?

[desert elm]

Can they post to MySpace too? Asking for a friend...

[ruby swift]

I have some old BBS links on my TRS-80 I can dig up.

[valid bobcat]

@ruby swift @desert elm Thank you for making my point.

[tranquil willow]

Perhaps their new website will have these options available (they said they were working on changing their website)

[desert elm]

@valid bobcat glad to oblige! Happy 2021!

The more time that goes by, where I play other MMOs doing the same thing with their game over and over, the more I look forward to a fresh MMO to play, but how is AoC going to differ from those MMOs? Example: WoW and their relentless borrowed power grindy systems.

[lean marlin]

@toxic copper might want to ask that in #aoc-discussion

[lusty kite]

@toxic copper check out the wiki as well, read and learn a bit about this new adventure known as Ashes of Creation https://www.ashesofcreation.wiki/

[rugged dock]

Has Steven offered any insight as to what they're looking to accomplish with the combat revamp coming this spring?

[dark jungle]

yes, to make it more fun and improve the feeling and mechanics (my own words)

[desert ivy]

Not publicly, no

Well apart from that

but the specifics about what they're changing, no

[dark jungle]

they take user feedback from testing and make changes, so its based on what the testers have reported so far

[hoary monolith]

The world of Verra will have a 'living world' feeling. Over the months, locations of cities will change and grow, and with them, the available quests and monsters. Rivalries and wars between nodes will occur making your priorities change over time. So one month you may spend most of your time doing tasks and gathering resources in abundance and the next month, you may have to watch your back as players from another node may try to suffocate you and your node of its resources in an attempt in zone control.

The more this happens, the more pvp experience you'll have. I have no doubt that people come to the game with only PvE experiences will come out with a thirst for PvP

[dire pond]

In the caravan combat pvp (defending the caravan), is there any way the defenders can heal/repair the caravan? I know we can upgrade it and custom its stats.

[dire pond]

Alright thanks

[crystal beacon]

when will we know this months cosmetics?

ok but... when? XD

thank you

[tulip hatch]

All cosmetic announcements provide the duration of that cosmetics time in the shop before it cycles
You can find the post in #news

[real shoal]

I've got a friend with wrist damage, so dexterity is limited. Will there be a setting to click skills or to move?

[real shoal]

Cool, hopefully she'll be able to set it up for max comfort. Thank you.

[crystal beacon]

Do you think they will have Asian inspired cosmetics? I want to live out my weeb dreams.

[digital yacht]

not like anime style

[crystal beacon]

No I mean like traditional Japanese or Chinese.

[quartz haven]

how will alt chars work?

[desert ivy]

Same as regular characters. They don't get any special bonuses for having a high level main character except you could transfer money/items over from your main to alt

[digital yacht]

think of it as just a second acc

[quartz haven]

limit to how many we can have on a server?

[desert ivy]

"a comfortable amount"

[quartz haven]

ah

[desert ivy]

we don't know the exact number

[quartz haven]

8 makes sense

haha

do they get access to your land?

freeholds too?

[woven vale]

1 freehold per account

So it is shared

[quartz coral]

@simple ether can you go inside the ships in archeage or only on top?

Ok 👌 thanks

[errant zenith]

Quick question... I was browsing the shop after i bought Shade's Retreat (cosmetic for freeholds). I also noticed the summer backer freehold appearance tiers and wondered if they were different from the skins by changing the actual physical structure of the freehold? So for example, if I used summer freehold appearance tier 3 and applied the Shade's Retreat cosmetic skin for freeholds, will this just put an icy look over my summer backer freehold? Or is this considered a skin as well... ? I only ask because there wasn't any verbiage or parenthetical statement on the summer freehold appearance tier explaining otherwise. Thanks!

[desert ivy]

The summer freehold is a skin and so is any freehold cosmetic in the shop, so they would overwrite each other

[quartz coral]

What talents said ^^

[jovial vapor]

Even if I buy the pre order pack from the shop right now I still can’t get in Alpha one test yet. Is that right?

[desert ivy]

Correct

[jovial vapor]

Alright. Thank you

[limber prawn]

Will there be a specific server for roleplaying?

[desert ivy]

Not officially. Player's will probably decide on an unofficial one tho

[lone wadi]

On the current caravan cosmetic , will it always be carrying logs

[fiery anchor]

maybe this has been asked before but can you see what a type a node is before you start leveling it?

[tranquil willow]

You will know when the Node reaches level 1

So you level up a node from wilderness to crossroads and you will see npcs appear. The type of npcs depends on the type of node

[pulsar lodge]

Why is #faq full of links xD

[tulip hatch]

To direct you to where you can find that information since there is a dedicated knowledge base that provides a lot of answers to commonly asked questions c:

[bold lion]

hi someone know if the loot after a boss kill will be a kind of component to craft a weapon (like horm or tooth) for exemple or directly a weapon like in wow for example?

[steady ocean]

Can be either

higher chance for crafting components

[jaunty depot]

If you are in a group, can you somehow see what drops your teammates get off of monsters

[upper egret]

Does anyone know if there was any speak about adding random loot distribution? I mean need before greed is sort of random, but since there is almost no gear/resources/whatever binding, I assume almost everybody will be needing in random groups (to trade it later, exchange, etc.) and I think there is nothing wrong about it and need before greed kinda loses sense in this scenario. Also, if you group up to exp on just regular mobs, it might get pretty annoying rolling the dice after every (or every 2-3) mob you kill

[steady ocean]

There will be similar looting mechanics found in other MMOs. Need/Greed/round robin/master looter, maybe a few more. Just not individual

[silk swallow]

4 loot mechanics, Master looter, Round robin, Need before greed, Bidding system. We don't really have that much info in depth on "trash" or "resource" items. Remember that you can use all types of weapons/armor, And with 64 specs there will be a lot of overlap.

I'm like any sane person expecting Round robin or bidding system for "random" groups. With Master loot, Need before greed being more community driven.

Bidding system is my favorite one. But can become toxic with wealthy premades.

[craggy totem]

GDKP is very strange

[woven vale]

I'd be happy, worst case I gain some cash

Best case I either get the item or raise the total bid for more cash!

Though the rest of the group will recoup some cash, gold is gold

[silk swallow]

My worries are people bidding on items to sell on AH :D, But yeah. Bidding system during launch seems the most fair.

Only becomes a problem if it abused, but again. Reputation is everything

[steady ocean]

May be better to continue the discussion in #aoc-discussion

[woven vale]

I see that as a good thing because say x item didn't drop but other good ones dropped, your now loaded on some gold, spend that gold from multiple items to that one item that didn't drop in a trade (move to #aoc-discussion now if you want to continue)

[dire pond]

Will there be a private setting on a node billboard? Like adding a question where only guild or alliance members can participate instead of making it public at the node?

[native gorge]

^can someone ping me when this has an answer? Tank got me intrigued...

[steady ocean]

You'll be able to have guild freeholds, so I'd imagine you'd just use that instead of a public billboard. Not sure though if it has been answered.

[full badger]

That sounds like a good question for the next dev livestream

[dire pond]

Yeah i dont doubt Intrepids team works hard on this project.

Im going to put it on then.

[prime acorn]

I actually have a question about nodes...will each servers node location be randomized? Kind of like when you make a game of catan? Or will they be static?

Also saw you could settle in the wilderness with your own house im assuming this is similar to SWG when it came out?

[full badger]

I never played SWG so can't comment on it. But here's all we know about freeholds (open world housing)

!wiki freehold

[tender hearth]

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Freeholds

[prime acorn]

An you can have that AND a house in the city right?

[full badger]

In theory yes

[vale locust]

I believe I heard you can have an apartment, a freehold, and a house in a node.

its recommended you spread them out though since you'll likely need to go to other nodes for different services anyway

[prime acorn]

Very cool thank you

Also more just a curiosity/suggestion what if the rogues could drop one of the mana draining crystals without breaking stealth? Was just thinking if it was passively draining mana then if casters on the lines didn't notice it it could really suck haha

[native gorge]

Ok, I've heard in multiple videos now that Steven is encouraging spies and espionage...is this merely player based? Like a guilds spymasters?

Or will there be quests and skills needed for such a thing?

[vale locust]

player based

[native gorge]

Epic, guess I do need 2 characters after all...

[vale locust]

there may or may not end up being added in-game things for that, no idea

[full badger]

I like to think of families like very small guilds.

[native gorge]

I'm just gonna put my spymaster squad in as my family

Are you able to have multiple titles but only display one?

Or just one title overall?

[full badger]

I don't know

Is there a place I can submit questions for the next Q&A

[rain spade]

there will be a thread that opens up a week or so in advance of the stream I believe

[rose wind]

Just gotta make sure families aren't viewable in-game :P or that your informants aren't making themselves suspicious by being part of a family that has nothing to do with their guild/alliance

[granite moon]

Question: are there a way up upgrade from Alpha 2 access to 1 , aiming for that 19th feb 🙂 seeing its my birthday it would be awsome to be able to play that day

[lean marlin]

not unless you're a ks backer.

[granite moon]

that I am but Alpha 2 acces

[bleak fable]

?

[rose wind]

There is currently no way to buy alpha 1 though it has been hinted that in Feb there may be ways to get alpha 1 again

Not confirmed though

[arctic sky]

You can upgrade Kickstarter packs

Need to buy braver of worlds

[lean marlin]

If you backed the game on kickstarter you can upgrade. IF YOU BOUGHT AN INTREPID PACK OFF THE STORE SITE you cannot.

[bleak fable]

jahlon pog

[rose wind]

Ah right didn't know KS packs could still be upgraded, thought that was all shut. Only shut to new buyers I guess then?

[lean marlin]

ks packs are closed to new buyers, yes.

[cobalt zephyr]

Yes only summer & kickstart can upgrade

[granite moon]

where do I go to upgrade? dont see a way on doing that on their website

[arctic sky]

You need to log in with you account that's linked to your ks pack

[granite moon]

see the warrior of old and ,avatar,braver and I guess the last one is the cheapest to get to Alpha 1

alright thanks

[native cargo]

How does buying an alpha 2 package one month + buying another pack another month for the cosmetics work? Do you pay a discounted rate or does it cost the same amount again?

[woven vale]

You can upgrade your pack

Also once you buy a pack

You can get individual cosmetics

Within your pack tiers, as seen in the color coded image above

[native cargo]

Thank you both

[native gorge]

Does this mean an Expeditionary Pack will only always have pet skins and accessory skins? Or do they vary per month?

[grim breach]

That's correct.

The cosmetics themselves change each month, but the type of items in each pack remains the same.

[native gorge]

F

It's like they want me to spend the majority of my weekly salary or something...

Am I able to buy individual cosmetics at release though?

[grim breach]

These monthly exclusives are exclusives while the game is still in development. Once the game launches, you should be able to purchase whatever is in the cosmetics store individually.

[native gorge]

Phew

Was about to cry...

[grim breach]

We offer cosmetics for players who wish to support the project early. The exclusive nature of the limited availability is something I think collectors value. If you buy cosmetics as an MMO player, I know I enjoyed if the cosmetic is rare and not every girl at the party is wearing the same dress. In addition, these cosmetics are used to populate the world through NPC variants and color/texture changes so their offering aligns with our production schedule. The good thing about these packs is they contain no P2W advantages and there is no box cost, so from a mechanics standpoint you do not need to buy them to excel in the game on launch. And also, there are comparable and subjectively more grand cosmetics achievable in game as well.[25] – Steven Sharif

From https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Cosmetics#Pre-order_packs

[rigid rose]

The cosmetics being sold before release are exclusive though and will not be coming back up for sale after launch.

[sly ore]

Wait.. you can have a pet and a mount?

[native gorge]

Yes

[grim breach]

They're two different things, yes.

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Pets
https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Mounts

[native gorge]

Well let's hope I don't really like a costume skin before launch then...

So we know that nodes will have certain roles/titles like Spymaster and Chief Bounty Hunter. Will castles have the same roles?

Ping me if/when this has an answer please 😄

[digital yacht]

idk what u mean

do u have a link to this info

[grim breach]

I believe what you are referring to are Social Organizations. Other mechanics such as Bounty Hunting that is provided by Military nodes, is not categorised as a Social Organization I believe. Other things that work similarly like Bounty Hunting (that's specific to only a certain type of nodes) have not been disclosed yet or perhaps none at all.

[native gorge]

No I'm talking about every node having node roles/titles

Lemme see if I can find it on the wiki

!wiki node governments

[tender hearth]

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Node_governments

[molten nebula]

Have they talked at all about new player experience? This seems like an MMO that has the ability to pull in new people, but most MMOs assume a certain level of video game literacy that new players may be lacking.

[native gorge]

The learning curve isn't gonna be too hard, if that's what you're asking. Of course having some general knowledge about MMO mechanics will make the curve less frustrating. There will be mentorship programs in game that let veteran players mentor a new player through quests. For those who have never even seen the word MMO before it's going to be very difficult to progress without a guild or a tight group of friends

[molten nebula]

thanks for the quick answer!

[full badger]

When you first start the game you will be placed in one of the starting areas via one of the 4 divine gateways (you can choose which one you go to if you want to group up with your friends). This starting area will serve as the tutorial, allowing you to get to grips with how the game works before going out into the wider world.

[grim breach]

The only role that I know of that has been confirmed for Castles is King/Queen.

[pulsar lodge]

Cool but it's like go to this link go to that link there aren't many questions there

"Howling Ridge Ox is a cosmetic flying or gliding mount skin in a pre-order pack." is this a mistake or is the Howling riding ox really a flying/ gliding mount skin?

[steady ocean]

Do you have something against flying oxen?

[crystal flax]

@fallen forge Where is that stated? All I can see on the main Ashes site about it is referring to it as just a mount skin

[fallen forge]

Im just confused this is in the references of the wiki, but i dont see any wings. or maybe im just going blind.

[fallen forge]

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Howling_Ridge_Ox

[crystal flax]

That's just an error then, the quote there is referring to the previous cosmetic pack which had the leafy dragon, the quote itself being from back in November

I'm very excited about the published letter! I live near Amsterdam and work in IT Support, is there a way to keep up to date about progress being made on the Amsterdam office? I would love to know if there is any way to be a part of this amazing movement 😉

[full badger]

@mellow lance Any big updates like that will be posted on here ( #news ) and on their social media

[native gorge]

I suppose the best way to enquire about careers in the Amsterdam office is to contact a community manager to see if they can provide an email for your enquiry (I looked around and could not find an Intrepid Email, only social media)

[full badger]

[mellow lance]

Thank you!

[native gorge]

Well, obviously didn't look hard enough 😅

[sly monolith]

nicknames ingame have first and surname?

[full badger]

They can do yes, first names are mandatory, surnames are optional @sly monolith

[sly ore]

Can you change your surname later for rp purposes and so on?

[tame anchor]

Is it confirmed that we can reset skill points after hitting level cap?

[worn venture]

If I'm not mistaken, you will be able to change your skill points in your secundary class...

[tame anchor]

But not your class ONLY archtype? So if i spend 5 points in Fireball i can't reset and just out 2 in?

[fierce hull]

I imagine they will implement a system where you can re-spec your main skill points. But I feel it should be tied to a quest or other cost

[tame anchor]

Or pay gold i dont mean to change your class ONLY respec just to be clear. To swap second Archtype should defenetly be a more lenghty process.

[sharp sentinel]

Is there any information regarding the cosmetics in game? Like transmogs and dye system?

Oh Hey! Is Alpha 1 testing available for all regions or just for NA and EU? After reading Steven's letter, Im planning to buy the Alpha 1 pack but Im in OCE/SEA server.

[finite bloom]

hello. It's been long time since last time I login to my AoC account and it seems that my.com isn't our platform anymore . Should I do something about it or i will be transfered automaticly back to Ashes site ??

[grim breach]

A1 confirmed regions are EU and NA. OCE and SEA servers are not announced for A1.

[faint plover]

When will be next devolpment update? Any news?

[sour junco]

@faint plover most likely end of january.

[native gorge]

Should ask a mod this question, I assume your account is already linked to the AoC site though

[grim breach]

You will be able to migrate your account. I'm not sure if migration is already available right now. That's a question for @plucky pawn and @tight gale . I think they're still on holiday break?

[steady ocean]

They're back, they just need to submit a ticket

[grim breach]

In that case...

[tulip hatch]

You do not have to do any thing at this time
Intrepid had not announced migration as of yet

Keep an eye on announcements for any update regarding the My.games accounts

For any questions regarding the My.games accounts please check out the first article here

[digital yacht]

U can still play on their servers from anywhere tho

[rose wind]

Just means latency will be a bit higher

[sudden cradle]

I wanted to buy a preorder package for 350$ but the tax added on top of it afterwards is ridiculous, why isn’t that stated before or included in the price??

[onyx knoll]

In America, the tax price is very very rarely included in the displayed price

[mild tendon]

Because it depends on your country

[onyx knoll]

Also that

[sudden cradle]

But 70+ $ tax on top is pretty over the top

[onyx knoll]

If you're in EU, there is a fairly large tax added to the price that is totally out of Intrepid's control

[sudden cradle]

Do they give any kind of compensation for that like extra ingame currency?

[onyx knoll]

No, taxes are something that your country is in charge of, it's not a company's duty to provide compensation for it :/

The packs already include a pretty big chunk of in-game currency (embers)

[sudden cradle]

Seems pretty unfair to forgoe Eu customers by not giving them the same worth for the money paid, it wouldn’t cost them anything to just give some of that in ember back I think

[onyx knoll]

You seem to be under the impression that Americans just pay 350$... that's not the case, they also have to pay additional taxes 😛

[sudden cradle]

70$ in taxes as well?

[arctic swift]

I got 90 in taxes

I feel ur pain

[onyx knoll]

As a candian, the 375$ pack costs me close to 500$

[arctic swift]

Yea swedes have it as bad 😩

[sudden cradle]

Just seems like a lost chance for customer satisfaction to not provide compensation in form of additional virtual goods. It’s not like anything physical is traded that would impose further costs for the company

[bold bear]

I've looked into UK taxes on google play items before. Everybody at each stage in the process rounds up and you end up paying ~30% more than the US. There is a small discount for subscriptions, but I think that is just Google's policy.
.
The problem isn't the devs, it's UK government and any middle men.

[onyx knoll]

Taxes and currency value change a lot all the time, it's unfortunate when you have a product that can be accessed worldwide that it's value isn't exactly the same everywhere but it would be a pretty insane amount of micro-managing to try and offer compensation to bring every single country's price in line with the US's

[teal spade]

*pack provides bunch of embers too * yeah but what if i would 100% trade embers to not pay 500$ xD

i already paid for it imma deal with it. but given the choice, i wouldnt have taken the embers

[dapper chasm]

I dont get this convo since we as europeans r just used to have the tax included in the price...
The only difference is the price shown first but in the end its the same.
In America f.e lets say its 100$ shown...americans know its 120$ in the end when the tax would be 20%
In Europe the price would say 120€...but its still 100€ + 20% tax...

[sudden cradle]

@onyx knoll I doubt the usd/euro trades to significantly to not just offer a lowered price/more digital benefits for eu costumers and offering seperate bundles for major regions shouldn’t take more than 1-2days of Setup

[full badger]

Hi guys, since the initial question has been answered and this is now a discussion, please move it down to #general-discussion channel, thanks

[quiet quiver]

Will the game be free eventually?

[rose wind]

Unknown. It will have a subscription cost model at launch

No plans published suggesting they'll make it free to play

[quiet quiver]

Ok cool I was just wondering

[keen mist]

If it were free then there would be no revenue for the game to survive. Having no box cost and being a fixed subscription with no p2w is the best case scenario!

[cloud wigeon]

will the combat be more stationary(wow) or fluid(bdo) or a combo(gw2)?

[native gorge]

Combo good sir, I think we've been using the word "hybrid" combat system to make it sound fancy

It actually kind of depends what abilities you're using

[cloud wigeon]

ye well most of the vids i see whenever they are casting they are stuck in place and i thought with a "hybrid" system this mean its just limited movement

[rose wind]

There's a major combat rework being done so there may be significant changes

[native gorge]

Hence why I said what ability, because a lot of martial classes have quite fluid movement abilities, such as a tanks charge

But the arcane classes seem to be stuck in place a lot more frequently

@rose wind is correct though, MASSIVE combat rework coming in march so a lot can be subject to change

[cloud wigeon]

nice

ty all

[lusty kite]

Perhaps we should take this to the #general-discussion as you are no longer asking a question, but voicing your opinion.
Assuming your country is a Democracy, why don't you complain to your government through the proper channels? Taxes are all up to YOUR country and has nothing to do with Intrepid. We are all paying taxes; no need to compensate us for taxes paid; this is not controlled by Intrepid.

[digital yacht]

When ppl chime in 2 hours later and say the same thing as the other 3 ppl.. so unnecessary

[north pagoda]

@idle siren i recently watched your interview with Asmongold, and loved it! And there is just one question for me to ask! Will you guys make it so that u cant see another players Lvl, HP, MP ect. outside of a party? (Like it was on lineage 2 - you could only see the Lvl HP and MP SP of the players when they was in your party). Ill hope you keep this also like it was on L2 😄

[digital yacht]

Yea that is like that

They will have certain distinctions for level discrepancies (if I recall ) kinda like mob borders being flashier if they are elites etc) but no health number just a bar

@north pagoda

I have a question related to Classes, what is the purpose of adding a secondary class at level 25 if you get no additional skills, or is there something i am missing?

Ahh nvm, i see now that we can augment skills by having the secondary archetype.

you can also find the info on sieges in the wiki as well

[vapid veldt]

Node A is parent of Node B, but not from Node C. If a player from Node C sieges Node A, can players from Node B join the attack, or is the maximum they can do not participate?

Note that the declaration of siege (usage of siege scroll) was done with an outsider from Node C

[digital yacht]

They can only defend

Node B residents can’t even declare the attack, they can only Defend

[plucky pawn]

Correct, citizens of the node and its vassal nodes are automatically registered as defenders. https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Node_sieges#Declaring_a_node_siege

We don't know aside from current combat is considered unfun by testers

So lots of changes are gonna happen to fix it

[dark jungle]

yep, maybe they will go into more detail about it on the coming stream

not sure if they have had time to put together a playthrough yet tho

[errant venture]

Besides the current pre-alpha testing feedback - Steven said to already be focussing on combat improvements, right? Is this different from what was told in an earlier stream?

[dark jungle]

its all part of the same thing

they listen to feedback from all sources (internal and external) and make changes
