thank you in advance

Hmm I don't believe we've been told either way. That would be a good question to ask for the next dev livestream

Will equipment have stats that augment abilities similar to Diablo(+15% ability name here damage)

Ashes of Creation Wiki

We're talking about a pantheon here, not necessarily separate religions. They're all kind of offshoots of who is the better god, or who is the god who identifies best with you.[2] – Jeffrey Bard

A combined question on Tax that I couldn't find the answers to. Will the Leaders of Organisations/Guilds/Religions/Kingdoms have the option NOT to pay taxes within their respective areas?
(If a Mayor can set tax rates then can they go full Kim Jong Un and give themselves a 0% tax rate?)

#

I would lean to expect that Mayors and Guild leaders wouldn't have this option, but the others are intriguing

full badger
#

@keen mist This is all we know about how taxes will work right now

Also just a note, there's no need to refer to real life political figures when asking your questions, thanks πŸ™‚

feral hamlet
#

in an economic node, what would stop a player with the most finances to occupy the mayoral position and essentially griefing the whole node?

full badger
#

Nothing

#

Except if they did, the players in that node would leave, and the node wouldn't get enough resources to stay at the correct level. Or it will get sieged and be destroyed

feral hamlet
#

it does seem to give the freedom for extremely rich players to go around nodes, win elections and destroy whole masses of nodes on which other players have invested a lot of time in

molten nebula
#

The players could just revoke their citizenship and go to a new node

#

Or could grief the mayor for being a tyrant

woven vale
#

Or players could work together making sure their candidate beats the other

arctic swift
#

Remember remember the fifth of november...

molten nebula
#

I wonder what happens if all citizens in a node revoke their citizenship except the mayor

arctic swift
#

he wouldnt have to spend much money on his campaign

#

So I bought in at the 250$ level, I know the roadmap exists but I just wanted a confimation here on whether that gives me access to the non nda Alpha test?

full badger
#

The $250 pack gives you access to Alpha 2, which we currently don't have a date for yet, but the NDA will be lifted before Alpha 2 starts

#

^ More info here ^

mild goblet
#

Cool cool, so will that be like an email link they send to get me in? Do I need to DL a client in preperation?

full badger
#

When it's your time to test you'll receive an email with instructions

mild goblet
#

Awesome thanks, just wanted to make sure I had all the steps done on my end. I have to say, I'm super hyped for this. I played WoW when I was 12 when it first came out and I knew I was playing something that was gonna be huge, I'm excited to get the oppurtunity to play something of a similar scale in the prime of my life. πŸ™‚

#

Oh yeah, I will be Livestreaming my gameplay is there anyone specific I should be in contact with about that?

full badger
#

Once the NDA is lifted you can stream no problem at all (following usual fair use guidelines of course). There is an Official Content Creator program for Ashes but it's not active right now while it's being revamped. Keep an eye out on more information for when they open up for applications again.

desert ivy
#

A2 isn't coming out for like a year at this rate, so there'll be plenty of people streaming before then

mild goblet
#

Awesome, is there any plans to work with charities or charitable orginizations in the future? As a disabled streamer I like knowing the games I play have a community oriented mentality.

desert ivy
#

Every November they do a charity livestream where they donate the money to charity. The one last November raised like $70k or so I think

Also can I get a link to one of those aoc d20's?

#

Just recently got interested in aoc what do I have to do to get into the alpha servers?

woven vale
desert ivy
#

Alpha 2 is currently buyable on the store, but we don't have any dates for when Alpha 2 starts. Alpha 1 pre-tests are on February 19th, March 19th, and April 6th - May 6th. Alpha 1 can no longer be bought in to, but they may bring it back in the future.

#

You can purchase A2 but we don't know when that testing will happen

How is A2 buy in?

ruby swift
#

In one go.

quaint coral
#

Oh, so the nodes deteriorate entirely if they're not maintained? Interesting.

ruby swift
#

Correct, the original plan was for them to go down a level, but that apparently caused too many issues. So they have now decided that once it reaches a certain level of atrophy....poof.

quaint coral
#

Ah, do we know what prevents/removes the atrophy? Would be unfortunate if you get enough bad neighbors that your entire home is wiped.

#

Then again, all the more reason to move shrug

ruby swift
#

Any action taken in the node generates "food" for the node. If people stop playing there, then they lose the assets in that node. It is not a fast or immediate process, people would know.

quaint coral
#

Sounds reasonable, thanks!

#

More or less just a node cleanser then if pop starts to be a big issue

ruby swift
#

Higher level nodes require higher "daily calorie intake" to keep their fighting figure.

rose wind
#

A successful Node Siege will also completely destroy the Node

ruby swift
#

Yep

quaint coral
#

Yeah, but that I expected.

rose wind
#

Reverting it fully back to level 0

quaint coral
#

I hadn't heard of the node feeding system (though I admit I do like the idea of having to take care of your home, adds more to the "this place has meaning" concept)

ruby swift
rose wind
#

It is as you say just a means of cleaning out Nodes that don't have a playerbase any more

#

So you don't have ghost towns littered everywhere

ruby swift
#

Yes, that is the intention. Active hubs, no "starter zones" that people abandon for "endgame zones" that sit there that no one visits.

#

There are intrinsic problems with reducing a nodes level as opposed to removing the node and it may be possible I'm just gonna say now that we don't actually atrophy nodes to delevel but rather accrue atrophy points that must be replenished over time; and if not it begins to disable services and further compound the atrophy problem; at which point when it reaches a certain atrophy point then the node would just disappear.[2] – Steven Sharif

#

And of course, testing or changes to their world manager during development may change it to another system completely. So stay tuned.

rose wind
#

Yeah the massive caveat on anything asked in here is "this is a game in early alpha testing, nothing is by any means set in stone at this stage"

#

I have a question, the pre-order pack cosmetics going to work only for 1 server or for all the server, where I am going to start my journey?

lean marlin
#

you can only have them on 1 character at a time. You'd probably have to put it back into whatever invisible inventory exists, to use on a different server.

worldly mural
#

And one more question, how the game going to handle PK in the newbie spawn. I mean after a couple month people will take mid grade gear and go for newbie locations to kill people, because for them that kind of gear will cost nothing after couple month and they can make 5-6 characters on one account. Even subscription fee will not stop PK players doing that. I know that bounty hunters going to catch them, but they will not get any benefits from killing them, because mid gear pretty much will cost nothing

digital yacht
#

with enough corruption ur stats will diminish to nothing

worldly mural
#

Yeah I know, I will just make a new character, lvl up it until mid grade and go again

quasi crystal
#

the corruption system is very unique, if you keep intentionally pking and somehow arent bounty hunted a new player could accidentally kill you, and with enough corruption, ull drop ur own loot that normally u shouldnt lose via combat

worldly mural
#

I know that, but mid gear will cost nothing at all after couple month

#

And losing it, means nothing

quasi crystal
#

If you want to stay mid ranged level with only average purchasable gear eternally then more power to you I guess? At a certain point though ur effectiveness and gear in terms of pvp will be essentially nothing

digital yacht
#

just to grief newbies?

worldly mural
#

It was the biggest problem in Lineage 2

lean marlin
#

So, you have no idea what anything will cost. You're also not going to just get to a level where "mid gear" is going to matter that quickly, this isn't a fast leveling experience and you'd just be wasting your own time in that situation. Corruption doesn't just go away, so since you'd be indefinitely deleting toons and making them, you'd be gimping yourself game/fun wise.

worldly mural
#

Where there were tons of clans

#

Who were making PK clans

#

Staying in newbie zones and killing players

quasi crystal
#

According to the wiki, corruption punishments are intended to become severe enough to prevent spawn camping

desert ivy
#

It's gonna take quite a while to level in Ashes. It's not going to be something where you get to level 25 in 2 hours. If you make a character, level it up to 25, and then start going to kill level 1s, you're gonna get deep into corruption really really quickly. So you'd basically have spent 40 hours to get to that point only to become extremely corrupted in an hour or 2.

quasi crystal
#

I mean in a sense he's right

#

at a certain point you could technically just pk eternally but said characters progress would be stunted and youd face severe pvp punishments

worldly mural
#

So basically the game will make low stats on the gear in the newbie location?

quasi crystal
#

that being said though i doubt youd get to a point where u could just pk pk because the punishments are intended to be extremely severe to prevent that

#

and the higher a player corruption the higher bounty on their heads

desert ivy
#

No, there is no scaling when it comes to gear/equipment/monster levels/zones. The only time you "scale" down is when you become corrupted.

quasi crystal
#

so really to accomplish that would be a minigame in itself, gl with that

worldly mural
#

Thanks for the answers guys πŸ™‚

quasi crystal
#

this might help you more than i can

worldly mural
#

Thanks πŸ™‚

quasi crystal
#

from what I understand, at a certain point you'd become so corrupted that you literally couldn't pvp anyone who wasnt a bounty hunter, as corruption penalties dont count vs them. The higher level you are the more likely you are to have some form of valuable loot, even if its not gear really. Additionally the higher level between you and the person you pk the more intense the punishments, so you could pk some just because they annoyed you for example, and then work towards removing said corruption with moderate difficultly, but doing so repeatedly isn't really worth it as the level and gear desparity between the u and the person u pk increases ur corruption gained and you'd eventually lose anything of value. You'd basically be wasting ur time unless u wanted to pk to a certain level of corruption (to keep gear id guess) and then mini game with the bounty hunter system, as corrupted persons can kill BHs without penalty

quasi crystal

thanks o.0

#

Do we know if we are able to move our characters to a different server? If I'm on a server that loses it's population, would I have to pay in game money or real currency to switch?

desert ivy
#

There's no plans for server transfers atm, especially not at launch

#

If something happens that makes it so that server transfers are necessary for particular servers, then Intrepid will look at the server impacted and see what needs to be done

#

It's called bounty hunting after all there has to be a bounty on the player

river ridge
#

So what is to stop you friend from killing you just to claim the reward? if you drop more than what you carry this could be abused. .

dark jungle
#

your friend could kill you for the bounty, but each time you get killed you suffer experience debt

#

and you respawn in a random location

river ridge
#

do you lose corruption ?

dark jungle
#

yes each time you die you loose some corruption

pseudo tangle
dark jungle
#

the basic idea is that corruption is a time sink

river ridge
#

hmmm, i can see exploits already

dark jungle
#

any way you look at it you still have to grind back your XP debt

desert ivy
#

Oh boy. It's another episode of person who has done 2 minutes of research can see exploits that people who have been here for 4 years have missed

dark jungle
#

hahah yes we have been hearing that for 4 years

river ridge
#

it sounds a lot like Lineage 2, that had a similar system

dark jungle
#

it is like l2

desert ivy
#

It's also the point of the alphas, so this stuff can be tested and Intrepid can alter stuff that needs to be changed.

dark jungle
#

it has some additions to the L2 system though

#

anyway this has gone beyond a question and answer so GL

river ridge
#

it’s prob the best system that can be done i guess.

slow fiber
#

Will there be trading or just a marketplace?

desert ivy
#

Both

slow fiber
#

Can you trade/sell cosmetics?

desert ivy
#

Not the store bought ones

#

Ones that you earn in-game you should be able to

slow fiber
#

oh ok

desert ivy
#

But if they allowed the real money cosmetic stuff to be sold, that'd be P2W

#

so they're not allowing that

slow fiber
#

yeah

clear burrow
#

Unless they added cosmetics which provide in-game bonuses, which i am very much opposed.

crystal beacon
#

Will there be unique items and will there be skills that can be learned throughout the game other than what the class has to offer?

ruby swift
#

There are social organization, racial, and other augments that can be earned. There are one of a kind items planned.

grim breach

bold bear

"All cosmetic store items will be non-tradeable" - so they are bound to the account that purchased them.

ruby swift

The monster coin only awards cosmetics. So it is still under no P2W

And you have ways to get them in game.

I've got a question. If I purchase a pre-order pack that has lets say 6 months of gameplay time. Will I be able to choose when to activate each month if I won't be able to play 6 months straight?

If you change server (to join a friend for example) will you keep your characters stats gear etc?

Ashes of Creation Wiki

Corruption in Ashes of Creation refers to:

Player corruption gained through the PvP flagging system.
The negative aspect of The Essence, spread by The Ancients during the Apocalypse (Lore).Corruption tarnishes the character’s spiritual essence. Their ability to utilize the Verra’s magic found within them is diminished. – Steven Sharif

@lofty wadi

vale osprey
#

not to be rude or anything but is it kind of a scam game? i mean i thought if u buy a pack from their website u get access to alpha phases but some dude on here said they send u a beta acess so i'm confused

onyx knoll
#

Some packs include only beta access

#

it depends which one you buy

vale osprey
#

oh okay thanks for the heads up

onyx knoll
#

anytime ^^

vale osprey
#

so if i buy the 75 pack one would i get access right away or no?

#

thats sucks, i am hoping to give ashes of creation mmo a try

#

to me it seems that the game kind of finish so why aren't they doing like crowfall did?

onyx knoll
#

the game is no where near finished ^^'

i mean i am trying to make my own game in ue4 and seem to be easy to get a good game up and running

reef osprey
#

lmao

dark jungle
#

HAHAHA

onyx knoll
#

they're making an MMO :/ it's a very large-scale kind of game, there are a lot of new ideas and concept that they're creating from scratch, too

dark jungle
onyx knoll
#

The whole idea of an evolving game world that constantly changes alone is something that will take years to fully flesh out. They need to create a lot of assets, landmass, creatures, gear etc, on top of coding the AI that controls the world and everything else around it

#

it's a very big-scale project

oak depot
#

World Manager will handle that

onyx knoll
#

indeed

vale osprey
#

ah i see, well i a noob at game developer so i wouldn't know

#

but yes if they creating their own assets and all that, then yes it'll take years

onyx knoll
#

The NDA on the alpha 1 will be lifted soon, so you'll be able to see for yourself what state the game is in currently and how far along they are πŸ™‚

would it be even fair to say at this point that the bones of the game are in place?

Hmm on the topic of name reservations:

Has Steven stated (or maybe he’d like to state right here πŸ˜‰) whether or not your character name will be protected for a certain period of time if you delete/remake your character? Perhaps a few months or years into the game, one might like to re-roll their original character with their favorite name but they don’t want it to be stolen or locked forever like in many games.

quasi crystal
#

Good question

#

all i know is name reservs arent avail atm

ruby swift
#

There will be more on name reservation guidelines as it gets closer to the actual process.

#

!wiki name reservation

tender hearthBOT
#
Ashes of Creation Wiki

Name reservations were rewards for backing at the Pioneer level and higher and are currently available through the Voyager plus pre-order pack.
Accounts will have name reservation tokens, that entitle its holder to reserve a name on a specific server when the reservation time comes.

@dim shuttle Give a another company example that allows you to lock a name that is not in use for perpetuity.

@ruby swift do we have any information on the amount of servers?

As many as needed. They have their metrics and will announce closer to when it is relevant.

hm

#

I somehow already know

#

with all this technological communication at my fingertips

Not like it is a complicated process to add new servers now. This isn't 20 years back when places like WoW had to wait for server farms to come online.

Well yes, but we're not just a single group. Hence the information request about server amount

#

It'll probably be fine, once we get closer to launch, it just popped into my head so i asked

Servers are capped currently at 50k accounts. If that isn't enough for your group to get on, you have done something horribly wrong.

Arent there like, 3 million registered accounts already o.0

Yep, and an already determined number of packages with guaranteed access and gametime sold. We know for sure of 40k of them, and that was two years ago before the Peon vid blew stuff up here. There will be multiple server options on launch. Just got to wait for them to list them later.

rough peak
#

does anyone know yet if one can keep a bounty hunter title once it is acquired or do we need to live in a military node forever? Or no info yet?

digital yacht
#

no info yet, if there is regular titles like in most MMOs it should be sticking with u, but if its like an Active Title over ur heading while actively Bounty Hunting i think it would only be there when doing the hunts

#

but no confirmed info

rough peak
#

thanks :)

ruby swift
#

We know that some node services are locked to citizenship, whether that applies to higher tier social organization abilities is unknown at this time.

rough peak
#

Ah okay because the Wiki said "Players can acquire the bounty hunter title through a quest available to citizens of Military Stage 4 (Town) nodes and potentially their vassals or affiliated nodes."

#

but maybe that is not the final info

ruby swift
#

Oh, good, the Prophet is active. I can dip out. Woke up in the middle of the night for me. Time to go back to sleep. Have fun.

rough peak
#

Happy to wait for the final thing, I was just curious :)

alpine zodiac
#

Is there a cap for number of attackers in node siege, since everyone can join one?

#

Isn't that a bit unfair since theoretically there could be a lot more attackers than defenders

#

Fair enough, makes alliances with other nodes more important and i like it

quaint coral
#

Same could be said in reverse, win over the favor or buy out said favor from neighboring nodes and have them all sign up to defend. Friends are good.

alpine zodiac
#

Thanks for quick answer ^^

quaint coral
#

The only big plot hole there, and something I wonder about is node siege times. Kinda makes it hard to recruit other nodes, if everyone is open to being sieged at the same time in the month. Though idk if we have information on how that specific mechanic works or not.

digital yacht
#

and u will have advance notification so u can prepare, i think metros have a week of prep time

quaint coral
#

I guess I meant more, if all nodes are seigable at 4pm (actual time is irrelevant) and Metro A and B are allied knowing Metro C is going to attack Metro A so both defend said Metro, then Metro D waits until let's say the last 3 minutes of time of enlistment to decide they're going to besige metro B, meaning at best only some of Metro B will be left to defend, (assuming they even respond or realize in time) then the only person really winning there is Metro D.

desert ivy
#

You have to declare the sieges in advance. Can't just walk up to a node during prime time and siege it

quaint coral
#

Oh, so you mean it will happen during this time, but the decision to lay sieges happens way sooner?

desert ivy
#

Yes

#

The prime time of a server may be 6 - 10pm for example, this means all sieges will take place within this time. But for a siege to happen, it needs to be declared by someone days in advance

quaint coral
#

That makes sense, cool. Thank ye Talents and others whom responded prior.

#

How are the cosmetic accessories going to be transmogged? Can you use multiple at the same time on your char (for ex. a hat and boots) or will you be stuck to just one? Knowing the costumes in the last bundle are only transmogged as a full set, not individual pieces.

crystal flax
#

You will probably be able to use multiple that are single items

plucky pawn
#

The costume cosmetics (that are labeled with that tag each month) will go over everything as a full piece! The accessories are able to be mixed and matched on your character at the same time.

Oo nice

raven glade
#

The game is looking good so far from the few video's I have watched, something I would like to know is related to the class based system what real benefit is there to go away from the standard choice of like Rogue > Rogue into assassin? compared to let's say Rogue > Ranger into predator?

desert ivy
#

Double downing on your archetype (Mage/Mage, Cleric/Cleric, Rogue/Rogue etc.) is going to mean your original archetype is more potent, so a Mage/Mage will be the best at doing "Mage" stuff, a Rogue/Rogue will be the best at "Rogue" stuff. Going a mixture like Rogue/Ranger, Mage/Fighter, means you'll get extra versatility that the people that double downed won't. So while you might not be as potent as a Rogue/Rogue, you'll have versatility that they won't.

#

We don't exactly know what that involves since we don't know much about classes yet since we won't be seeing them until A2

raven glade
#

A2? Alpha 2?

desert ivy
#

Yeah

raven glade
#

So let's say I do not like the class I chose initially is there any option to try out the other classes or have to make a new character?

desert ivy
#

You can change the secondary archetype, so if you're Rogue/Mage, you can change the Mage archetype, but you can't change your primary so you wouldn't be able to change the Rogue part

#

You'd need to make a new character to be a new primary archetype

raven glade
#

Is the character naming system limited to one name?

#

or first name surname ?

desert ivy
#

It's optional. You can have just 1 name, or you can have a first name and surname

raven glade
#

for example

tulip fjord
#

Do we know yet if we are able to change our character's physical appearance? Like hair or height?

desert ivy
#

Other than when you initially create you character, there is going to be an in-game place (like a barbershop or whatever) where you can change your appearance

Question, will the server nodes be reset after a certain amount of time?

#

I’m assuming no, since they’re ever-changing due to how the system itself works, but I thought I’d ask

desert ivy
#

No. Nodes won't be reset by the devs

#

Only way to reset them is either by atrophy or by sieging them

lets just say i enjoyed cyberpunk 2077, a beta key for this game cant be any worse, i mostly wanna test it out

Well the beta will be basically the finished product

The alpha is where the testing happens

limber yew

*test it out for myself, i dont think any of my friends are gonna pull the trigger so i might as well try it before them to see if its any good

but anyway, thats a future thing, gonna keep an eye on the game while they develop

Yea just don't judge anything based on alpha testing because anything could change. You could get an idea of what the game is trying to do I guess from alpha.

#

The main ideas of the game shouldn't change much but the combat and things like that should improve a lot after alpha.

#

Or during alpha even

Hey there. Will team duals be available in the open world? As in two teams of, let's say, 5 or 8 meeting in the guild hall or some field, clicking on one of the opposing team and pressing the prompt to fight a duel.

Putting bets on that duel would be cool as well

desert ivy
#

They don't know. There will be 1v1 duels, and multiple people vs multiple people is something they're interested in, but they haven't confirmed it in the open world

Well you could RP fights or create your own guild war between 2 small guild

I would love to have that kind of system and use it to practice pvp tactics and what not with my guild mates

raven glade
#

The Artisan system I would assume that system is seperate from the crafting system in that you can master one of these and master one of the crafting professions?

civic obsidian

and u can master 1 of said branch

ya thats what i said

So like I could master Gathering only?

civic obsidian

yeah

raven glade

Ok thats bad.

civic obsidian

u are still able to to others up to a level

desert ivy
#

And even then you can't master everything in one branch

civic obsidian
#

but not master them

raven glade
#

So essentially if some high level craft requires a master material from gathering, I have to find a master in gathering to complete said craft?

desert ivy

Yep

raven glade

Once you master I assume there is no system in place to change mastery? even if its a limited change of mastery eg like once every 6 months

Hi, question about corruption system. On the chart, it says that when you attack corrupted player as non-combatant, your status doesn't change. So when you fight back against a corrupted player but still get killed, which death penalty will apply to you at that situation if you die as non-combatant? Any info about that?

crystal beacon
#

We ain’t even in the first alpha bruv πŸ˜‚

#

I’m pretty sure u don’t suffer a penalty if you’re a non combatant and fight back when someone initiates on u

desert ivy
#

You'll still get the same death penalties that a non combatant would

#

Since your status doesn't change from non combatant

empty pelican
#

And was this specific situation mentioned somewhere? I figured that from the info I found but it doesn't really make sense to me. At that point, you should really be getting same penalty as when you fight back against combatant. Anyway, thx for the answer.

Im following the development quite a while now and noticed the team is ambitious and with the right mind set. However, after couple of years of dev footage, Im still wondering one thing: Are we able to move while casting or is this planned? Clips I saw show that when casting, you’re rooted. Is this going to stay the case? Cheers

velvet spear
#

We're expecting a big combat overhaul around March. The A1 is still very much under NDA but I'd imagine that's a huge focus of the testing so that the team can begin finalizing things.

crystal beacon
#

I also hope there will be some kind of interrupt system to cancel out enemies who began to cast a spell.

grim breach

supple viper

I certainly agree that big cast DPS skills should root you for x time, giving someone the chance to interrupt.
But I sincerely hope that 2021 and onwards gameplay will adapt to move while like some decent MMO’s (BDO, GW2, BnS, ..) Couldn’t live without it any longer.
Edit: thanks for the link @grim breach, does show they intend to have a mix πŸ™‚ As long auto attacks are not rooted, a mix is good

if anyone hasn't submitted a question for the livestream yet... "Will there be a guild perk or augment that allows a character to appear unaffiliated to a guild for espionage purposes?"

civic obsidian

tbh i doubt, they have state that u can use alt characters for that somewhere in the wiki

#

since alt arent automaticly part of your guild

molten nebula
#

true. that's a good point

#

It'll be interesting to see what the guild affiliation system looks like. If you can rank up or earn perks for being a part of a guild for X amount of time, it might feel bad. but i guess if its an alt you may not care that much

bleak fable
#

will they add more classes later on like samurai or ninja [just really wanted to play samurai]

velvet spear
#

It's likely they might add some new archetypes down the line. However something like Samurai might be possible through Fighter and some clever cosmetics

bleak fable
#

thx

tender wren
#

im sure theres probably going to be some renkai themed armor set that looks like a samuri

desert ivy
#

While they probably will eventually add new archetypes (even though they've said they probably won't), these probably won't be for years. It's pretty difficult to add new archetypes in Ashes as you need to account for the hundreds (pontentially thousands) of new augments you'd need to add

velvet spear
#

Fair enough. I guess I'll wait till the March combat revamp where we can hopefully get a better idea of what the augments will look like and if that'll change

velvet spear
#

We might not see them in action but that doesn't mean we can't have a more fleshed out idea of what they'll be. Either way, the result is still wait and see

yes, in terms of whether there are any in game mechanics to support a personal bounty hasnt been revealed

For moderation of the forums: Where is the line drawn? I mean Jahlon's post got copy-pasted and was "counted" as spam. Fine. But the post directly under his is a quote from somewhere not on that thread; which by definition is a cross-post, and is not allowed by the "Forum Rules & Code of Conduct" under rule 3. The same rule that deals with Spam. Just curious why the subjective was acted on but the objective was not?

If I'm looking at the same post you are, it looks like someone took a question that was asked more generally in another thread and was hoping to bring it to our attention directly for an answer during the live stream thumbsup that's perfectly allowed, and I often encourage it if someone posts a thread with a question we haven't answered before!

Typically they don't quote text it in such a manner, but we do often encourage folks to bring their questions that aren't answered in other threads to our attention for the stream πŸ˜„ hope that makes sense!

@plucky pawn But that is the very definition of a cross post. I'm sure you can see how I am having difficulty with the rules if they are subjective and not objective. If they are subjective I think maybe re-titling "Forum Rules & Code of Conduct" to "Forum Guidelines & Recommendations of Conduct"

All the details are not known @burnt mist but they have said they want some effort put into changing the secondary class... maybe a quest of something ... is not known for sure yet what it will be. πŸ™‚

full badger
ruby swift
#

@burnt mist There maybe was some confusion between changing augments and skill points, and changing secondary class. Primary archetype (first class) can never be changed. The secondary class that is chosen at 25 can be, with effort (still tbd, most likely time and gold sink). Augments and skill points related to those classes will have a mechanic to be changed in "rest" areas like freeholds, inns, and possible other locations. "on-the fly" means that you won't be miles away from a node settlement in the third sub level of a public dungeon and decide you would rather be throwing fireballs, instead of blinking, and re-allocating points.

Is there anything you can do that will not be located in a zone of influence so you won't level a node?

I suppose that depends on, for example:

The physics of Verra are complex. There may indeed be other means of combustion. Just no black powder has been confirmed. Also, whiteboard development ideas from 2017 in some cases were brought more into line with reality of game design and marketing. So answer is: Maybe?

Just remember that some skills will require certain weapons. For example, a melee ability will require melee weapons. So while a rogue can use a bow, it may limit the number of skills available to you.

#

The pvp flagging system makes it to where if you fight back, the death penalties are less impactful.

What if I’m fighting mobs out in the world (unflagged) and get really low and get one-shot by another player?

#

Do I still experience the unflagged death penalties?

grim breach
#

Yes. Death is death. Death penalty occurs whether or not you are flagged as combatant or not.

#

Death penalties also do not differ between PvP and PvE.

molten nebula
#

There are different levels of penalties aren’t there?

grim breach
#

Basically:

Green (non-combatant) = 100% penalty rate
Purple (combatant) = Half of Green's rate
Red (corrupted) = 4x of Green's rate

molten nebula
#

If I’m out grinding mobs and don’t want a fight, I’ll probably not flag myself for pvp. My point is that it would be nice to have a grace period where an encounter has to last a certain amount of time in an open world PvP to get the unflagged penalties

grim breach
#

And since you mentioned you're unflagged, which means you're Green, the player who killed you would gain Corruption. Depends on their PK count + level gap between the two of you, they may get a lot of Corruption.

grim breach
molten nebula
#

I think y’all are missing the point lol

#

I understand how player death works

#

I guess since player death is such a big deal (due to the penalties) that will probably incentivize me to not pull big groups

Bc of the risk to die from the mobs or from a ganker

#

Very adversarial way to put that but okay πŸ™ƒ

solemn sun
#

Yeah he didn't ask about whether or not you think solo farming is fun Jahlon

To answer your question @molten nebula , yeah pulling large PvE mobs also makes you susceptible to be opportunistically ks'ed by a player, we haven't heard anything to my knowledge about there being any safeties for PvE players in that regard

Small question regarding the packages in the shop.

Hello everyone! I have a question that may be hard to answer because maybe the developing team hasn't considered it. We already know that there is a distinction between one-handed and two-handed weapons but my question is if our characters could adopt a fighting style for one-handed weapons so it would appear that we use two hands (where it would make sense i.e. a sword). My reasoning is that sometimes a sword could be considered both one-handed and two-handed depending on how the user would like to use it and I think that the immersion would be cool! Thank you.

question on the pre-order packs, if I get lets say the $250 one but later want to upgrade (within the timeframe of the same items) does the price adjust?

you only pay the difference between the old and new pack, you dont get duplicates
