Will players or guilds have publicly available URLs that give details of their character or organization, much like WoW Armory used to give info on WoW players?
ruby swift
There is no plan to release the API into the wild for players and others to use. If there is such a system it would be provided by Intrepid.
mossy cosmos
OK
ruby swift
If you are looking for threat determination, you will know someones class, armor type worn and tier, from a mouseover that shows those regardless of cosmetics. You will not know actual gear or hp levels. Hp will be numeric when grouped with someone.
mossy cosmos
I am actually building a platform for documenting events that happen in each of the server and I am currently adding a system for referencing key players and guilds that may have been involved, so I was wondering if there was an official URL that could be referenced in case users need more info.
ruby swift
Hmmm. Don't know the answer on that one. @dark jungle is probably better to ask, he has done outside website stuff with them and knows better.
mossy cosmos
Its alright, its just metadata at this point. Thank you for your answer @ruby swift
full badger
@mossy cosmos https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Character_page this might help you out (subject to change/implementation of course)
mossy cosmos
Oh excellent! This is exactly what i was curious about! Thank you @full badger
ruby swift
These quotes may be of value.
You will have a unique homepage for each character and that homepage will be able to be customized by the user to display unique information. It will have a small out-of-game RPG component where you can construct background and traits and stuff like that.[11] – Steven Sharif
That's part of the character sheet desire for us which hopefully will be accessible in game as well by opening a browser through our UI where you can get back history of a character that that character has input themselves into journal entries that they may choose to share with others... For role play perspective we want people to be in depth with their characters.[10] – Steven Sharif
The developers believe that inspecting gear to obtain an exact equipment list or gear score may lead to "unwelcome behavior".
dire pond
Yeah, good thing, that page will surely gives titles accumulated by the player too, so you can see wich is a master artisan
mossy cosmos
I like that the page will be available. Will allow people to share the character sheets of important players and study their server or find trade partners
dire pond
Do you think the info should be accessable to all at all time, or you just get minimum important info an have to travel to that character for ghe rest?
ruby swift
The info released will be player controlled. If you don't want people to be able to see you, there will be that option too.
"Hey, who was that guy who was ganking us last week. Someone go look up his home node!"

Anyone can answer me about the server? I wanna know if the South America will receive a server, and if so, when? (beta, alpha, release)

Yer, I saw that, Idk if the ping will be good if I try the NA, at least in the beta 2 (is the package that I can buy here in brazil)

There are already many sub groups of non-English speakers signed up for Ashes. There will be regional servers added as demand is recognized. Right now you will probably want to play NA West from Korea. I play from Japan, and SEA actually has worse latency than going to the US West coast for gaming. If the game develops as intended, there will be a group of Koreans playing somewhere you can find on one of the servers.
Get enough people interested so that it is financially worth it, and they might even localize for Korean.

PVP / PK Question: What happens to a gank party of orange players that attack a green player that refuses to fight back? Does everyone that caused damage become red players. Does the party become red even though you did no damage? Example healing or just watching. Or is it just the member that deals the finishing blow?
Ah that's right thanks for the correction on the color its been awhile. Hmm that could be a loop whole for PKers. Go for the gank but one player is reserved to be red
Correct that's one of the plus's about the system. But from experience I knew some groups that would make alts just for this reason to toss away. But good to know how the detail of how to get the corruptions works. Thank you :D

On the wiki it says

Some reasons why the direction on proximity voice chat could have been made (Non-encompassing speculation) - 1. There's expected to be a lot of group vs group pvp, groups won't want their comms mixed, and you don't want to deliberately drive people into using external voice options. 2. If a party was trying to use proximity voice chat, there could be issues with volume, people unexpectedly being too far away to hear at all, etc. depending on it's implementation - consequences for which are basically bypassable design decisions. 3. The Tavern voice chats are a kind of proximity based voice chat (the proximity is other people in the tavern), designed to deliberately form in game meeting locations (A design decision that could be compared to encouraging people to meet up at say the quest objective itself). 4. I suspect proximity based voice chat could lead to some angry comms if that proximity involves pvp, and as a non-faction based game you can't easily group people into 'friendlies within proximity'

I think that you misunderstood me, I was referring to transactions only, i. e. not including income/corporate tax. Donations as transactions are not taxed, while sales as transactions are taxed.

There will also be methods of moving stat blocks around but this won't necessarily be an easy task.[15]
whole dawn
i think McConnell was talking with asmon when they watched the peon video about how certain classes require a lot more stats than others, hopefully they take that into account
like a mage might only need to spec into mana, ability power, and cooldown reductions, whereas a tank would need to get health, physical defense, magical defense, block/evade, and maybe some strength and mana

Has there been mention or information posted on the possibility of experience balancing when it comes to experience gained on a node by race? Example; A particular server has a huge deficet of Dwarves for whatever reason and there are hardly/none dwarven nodes by coorelation. So like a 'behind the scenes' system to increase dwarven experience because the dwarven population is scarce.

If you mean Twitch Drops, there's not such plan yet. If there is, they haven't announced any.
If you mean will the game be streamed and recorded once the NDA drops, yes. It can be everywhere. Twitch, YouTube, etc.

hey i bought the game for 370 so i can play the most recent alpha but i am confused as to how ill be able to acess this?
lapis sail
You cannot access until Alpha 2 begins, and there is no set date for that yet.
lean marlin
You'd get an email at some point. But you're a ways off on A2.
crystal flax
You'll get emailed when the time comes, but like Boom said the 375 pack didn't come with the next test
elfin nimbus
got ya
lapis sail
A1 doesn't end until May 6 I think. After that depending on code changes, additions, etc, and funding they will eventually set a date for the start date. Once you have access I am sure will receive an email or notification with access to DL the client.
lean marlin
@lapis sail We only have tests up to that date. A1 technically doesn't finish until we're in A2. If more tests are needed for A1 they'll just add more.
lapis sail
True, but on the current schedule the last thing on the schedule for A1 ends on May 6.
desert ivy
Yeah, A1 doesn't end on May 6th, that's just the last date they've shared publicly

The crests are shown here, but most are covered partly in text, and all are nested in other colours.

Since they will be testing many things, Alpha 1 will probably be 6 months or more. Alpha 2 will probably be a year. Think of all the things in the MMO that have to be tested still (tested, hah. still need to be created).

alpha 2 is persistent tho

not all the classes will be in for a2, just all the primary archetypes and some of the classes i believe

I'm asking is it possible to get 6 month game time activate later.

Will I be able to (via ticket or something like that) say ''can I activate my game time after 2 months.''

I don't think we know about this either currently. If there's a chance we can choose when and which month we want to use the game times bundled in the pre-order packs, you should be able to do what you're asking for as well.

Yes, people have asked various forms of how something basic to the companies function works and have not been given a straight answer. This is either an oversight, or deliberate. Until someone with a gold name chimes in,they can later decide whatever they want. Has this bit them in the ass in the past? Yes. When money is involved do they care? My answer. No. But one thing that will not work here is telling them they have to give an answer right now or else.

(Not fully understanding that statement nor question) However, in most subs, you pay for access (whether it's weekly, monthly, or yearly). Time/duration typically does not dictate said access (unless it has a cap of some sort), nor does it dictate pricing. If you don't believe you'll be available x month, you can unsub and resub the next month.

is it possible to like 'sterilize' pets/mounts or something, the reason for this is because for example when you spend alot of time and effort to make a pet/mount with really good stats and start selling them, it would kinda suck if people just started breeding those themselves when they buy them from you

they would also have to spec into animal husbandry, and if they are, theres a chance they might not ask you in the first place for your services

yeah but still, i dont think itll be easy to get really good stats on a pet/mount, and you need to spend alot of time and find out how to get really good stats, and i just hope people can't just buy 2 from you and start breeding them themselves without having to spend all that time and effort into getting those stats, you know?

Ehhhhh, sort of. Steven said all races have different base stats. Then your primary archetype gives you even further adjusted base stats. But he said he doesnt want it to be major and by high level it wont be much of a difference.
Also, races have some special augments for abilities, so an Elven fighter might perform a charge differently than a Dwarven one, etc.
More like flavor than hardcore power differences, from what I have read and heard

But the augments of the Elven charge is just a different animation rather than a completely different ability compared to Dwarven one, right?

hope they reopen that you can upgrade from the highest/second highest
lapis sail
If they re-open A1 Access I will buy in.
balmy shuttle
same
slim garden
so even if i buy Wayfarer Pre-Order Pack i could play when they reopen
desert ivy
No. Wayfarer gives access to Beta 2, that is years away
Beta 2 is the last stage before release
We're currently in pre-alpha 1
Alpha 1 > Alpha 2 > Beta 1 > Beta 2
Alphas are the long phases, betas are very quick in comparison
slim garden
so which one let me play pre alpha
lapis sail
Oppai, you would be able to if you upgrade to that package. Otherwise you have to wait until the part of Alpha or Beta that applies to your package.
slim garden
Oh
balmy shuttle
thou i wonder if it'll be an incremental price for upgrading, say wayfarer would have to pay enough to cover up till the highest pack + the price of upgrading on top, or if you have to have the highest pack to be eligible to upgrade 🤔
crystal flax
Currently you just pay the difference in the packs, there's no sort of "upgrade fee"
ruby swift
Upgrading in the past has worked that you just pay the difference
balmy shuttle
ohh im talking about if they reopened that you could get into alpha 1 😉
but it still answers my question 😂
robust marsh
ofttt still no emails down the wire again 😛
humble berry
Would be nice I don't like investing money in something that I cannot try for another 6 months to an year out
robust marsh
We invested 2 yrs ago... to just now play Alpha :p
humble berry
And yeah I know it will be pretty rough 🙂
ruby swift
If you consider it "investing" you should probably hold off. It is a true alpha, in that it is in no way even close to being done. You are there to test, not play. If you have concerns, you should wait until later phases as recommended by them.
humble berry
I work in game dev, I know what to expect and what's expect of me 🙂
I use the word invest as the entry point is not cheap 🙂
balmy shuttle
i've done a few stress tests & beta testing to find bugs/glitches/etc so i also know a fair amount
lapis sail
I've done a ton of Pre-alpha, alpha and beta testing as well. I feel their package costs are fairly reasonable especially if you want the title to succeed based off of the vision that they've laid out. Im currently in a Pre-alpha for another title and paid $1000 for that access, knowing in advance that it would be actual testing and not just a preview.
humble berry
Yeah would rather a cheaper entry point to be honest but I can understand that front the server costs to host more than one server is not optimal for Alpha's and Beta's
Just do open stress tests 3-6 months before release for that much more interesting cost wise

keen cliff
Will we be able to name our ships and paint it on the sides of the ship?
stable plover
@keen cliff Ships are supposed to be nameable - I don't think we know if the names will be anything or selectable from a list, which was a thing that was mentioned as something the devs where thinking about for building names at one point. Ships are also supposed to be able to be decorated with emblems, which I imagine could fit the name of the ship if there's not an inherent way of putting the name on the ship visually.

Hi all, i am sure this has been asked in the past, but when and how do i get access if i have an alfa 2 package please

iron breach

oak sand
Hey, I am looking at getting one of the supporter packs to play aoc. Curious to know if any of the current packs allow me to jump into the current test and play or if i will have to wait till later this year? after the current alpha 1 is done
crystal flax
Alpha 1 might be sold later this month but currently nothing gives access to that, and we don't have any other dates
oak sand
Ohh, So there is a chance that A1 will be sold later this month? I assume this will be a full package like the current ones on the shop? so i should wait and see if they could out before buying a current pack
crystal flax
Previously the Alpha 1 package was sold for $500 so it'll probably be for that amount again
lean marlin
But yes, if you want to wait and seem then wait and see. We're supposed to have some sort of answer later this month. Also remember these are actual testing phases, not Early Access.
oak sand
$500 wow lol. Will prob do that see if its going to be the same price for current alpha.

crystal beacon
Is there 1 character limit per account?
And if not, how do the pre-order rewards affect having multiple characters? Do you only get 1 name reservation for 1 character for 1 server, or multiple? Do you only get the cosmetic rewards on the first character you create or on every character you make, and if the prior can you trade cosmetics between different characters you've made?
crystal flax
They've previously said you will be able to have "a comfortable amount" of alts, nothing specific but people tend to guess 8
You get a single name reservation, and the cosmetics can only be used one at a time, but can be traded between your characters, think of it like a closet if you take an outfit out on one character, you have to put it back in before another can get it

wild thorn
Question. Player actions can cause "dungeons" to spawn, correct?
ruby swift
The world manager looks at node "pops" to determine content. Since players make nodes "pop" then yes, player action.
cedar basin
That reminds me of a question I've been meaning to asks. Once a dungeon pops up, is it permanent or can it disappear if a node is destroyed/regresses
wild thorn
Does that mean dungeons are non permanent? Like, they spawn, and then after either a time period or a number of clears, or some other criteria, do they disappear?
ruby swift
It can be destroyed if the node that was the reason for its spawning is reduced back to zero.
Nothing is permanent beyond the initial starting areas and some world POIs
wild thorn
Is that the only way they vanish?
ruby swift
So far, yes. But they have talked in the past about large resource deposits like mines being "tapped out" and despawning without destruction of the node. Could be they do the same with conditional dungeons. They just have not talked about that.

What type of gear system will there be? I haven't played too many mmos, but from what I've seen, most systems fall into two different categories. One is where the player gets better gear through some complex "upgrade" system where the "reagents" required for upgrades is attained through grinding. The other would be something like world of warcraft classic, where the best gear often has low drop chances, making the item itself (enchanted or not) very valuable and the upgrade system itself isn't too complex.
