Why?

full badger
#

why what?

wispy timber
#

^

full badger
#

that's the business plan the devs have decided on

spiral pine
#

Sub and cosmetics is their business plan

ruby swift
#

There is your why.

coral locust
#

Hello,
I would love to play the game, but the only way I found to buy subscription was buying the 75$ pack which included 2 months of NetEmulation.PktLag 50+ cosmetics, but I am not interested in the cosmetics. Is there a way to just buy 1 month of subscription at a time?

mystic mango
#

the game isn't out yet

ruby swift
#

Not currently as the game is still in pre-alpha testing.

mystic mango
#

so not atm

coral locust
#

Anyone know when might be that it goes to alpha? It has been in pre-alpha for quite some time now. Are we talking about weeks, months, years?

mystic mango
#

it has been in pre-alpha for 3 months

digital yacht

alpha is coming near april

?

#

i thought the first pre-alpha test was in december

ruby swift
#

As others have pointed out. We only have the current announced testing plans. There is a livestream in 2 days. More information about status of game will most likely be given then. Tune in for updates.

Thank you 🙂

#

do we know the size limit for guilds? please tell me there is at least a 100 player limit on guilds...

digital yacht
#

between 50-300

#

based on the way the guild leader specs points

#

!wiki guild

tender hearthBOT
#
Ashes of Creation Wiki

Guild size of 300 is currently the maximum cap that can be attained by leveling the guild and selecting the path of size as opposed to the path of guild skills.[1]

merry frigate
#

I personally would think having 200+ players in 1 guild doesnt seem good; promotes a zerg mentality and those massive guilds dont typically care about the individual needs of players in my experience

digital yacht
#

then join a guild that does

#

its your responsibility to find a good fitting guild for u, not just the biggest guild out there

raven glade
#

Hmm, that's going to be fun all the small guilds vs loads of 300 player guilds working in co-op for pvp large scale.

digital yacht
#

small guilds get better bonuses

raven glade
#

peeps will just align with the masses.

digital yacht
#

if ur a 300man guild u get no guild bonuses

merry frigate
#

the gvg stuff is at least a set amount. just look ing at this guild list i see a lot of 200 and 300 member guilds

digital yacht
#

if ur a 50man guild expect extra bonuses

raven glade
#

yea i know that.

mystic mango
#

the bigger guilds have too feed more mouths

merry frigate
#

big guilds typicallyu play out like a pyramid scheme from what ive seen

mystic mango
#

and they miss out on small scale content

#

1 sec i have found a good video

raven glade
#

in a sense then its better to be a small-medium scale guild

digital yacht
#

yes

and be in alliances.

watch this

merry frigate
#

the whole DKP rewarding the people with the biggest wallet or even worse; giving stuff to players they deem more valuable because they are online more often than not XD

digital yacht
#

thats on the guild not all guilds do that, but most will reward the more active players that seems fair imo

raven glade
#

this: - Guild leaders will be able to pool resources into a guild alliance bank.[3] <<

#

makes a whole lot of difference.

merry frigate
#

i remember being in a guild that gave high tier loot to a player because he is oline 16 hours a day but neglected the peopel who were online for 4-5 hours a day who actively participated in the content made me feel bad

mystic mango
#

then that is a bad guild

merry frigate
#

it was. i got taken advantage of

mystic mango
#

don't join one of those guilds in AoC

digital yacht
#

then thats on u, also this is #questions so leave the chit chat to other channels

merry frigate
#

we discussing my question 🤔

digital yacht
#

u ask questions here, u discuss questions in other channels, now that its over take it elsewhere

merry frigate
#

r u a mod?

digital yacht
#

nope but they will say the same thing

mystic mango
#

shadow you can do both in this channel

#

i don't think it really matters tbh

#

also we are still answering the question

digital yacht
#

the question was answered long ago

merry frigate
#

from what i have seen from the guild list; there is a lot to choose from; some i recognize like lagacy though it doesnt seem like there is any basic info about them in the sheet im seeing

#

is there a source where i can see these guilds main selling points?

digital yacht
#

most will have their websites linked in there

raven glade
#

something that just came to mind,whats the music like in AOC? music is just as important as how the game looks and can make or break a game

digital yacht
#

its produced by Bear McCreary

#

!wiki Music

tender hearthBOT

Ashes of Creation Wiki

Ashes of Creation's Lead Composer is Bear McCreary. His music will be unveiled in Beta-1.The Bard archetype is intended to have musical abilities.
Bards may be able to play musical instruments, such as Flutes and Bagpipes.Custom music creation (using the likes of the Music Macro Language) will not be present in the game on release.

we haven't heard any of the music yet, it's set to be revealed in beta

Hey, im sure this has been answered a few times but i cant find it in #faq unless im blind but will the game be on steam?

ah okay, awesome. Thanks! x)

Is there going to be a assasins guild like the dark brotherhood in Skyrim I’d love something like that

Different types of Social organizations have different objectives relating to their specific types of game play.[2]

i couldnt remember the name they were called so i had to look thru wiki

tame carbon

Ah would be cool to have assassination targets and stuff just thought it would be a cool idea 😄

mystic mango

yeah it does sound cool

i guess if the player you are targeting is corrupted a bounty hunter could do it

can human characters start in the Underrealm like the Tulnar?

well, a more apt question then, CAN Tulnar be made to look human or "close to".

Tulnar is a playable race in Ashes of Creation. The Tulnar fled to the Underrealm to escape the Corruption that befell Verra.
The Tulnar is a combination of four major races and many minor races that were left behind on Verra after the apocalypse.This was previously stated to be three different races.
Tulnar stands for "the forgotten".

cedar basin
#

You might be able to downplay a lot of the more 'exotic' features to make it more human looking. But until we get a real glimpse into them and the character creator we won't really know

junior light
#

well, legging it to the Underrealm as human from a divine gateway is plan B I guess 😛

real shoal
junior light
#

Not what I asked, but okay. If humans can start at the Tulnar starting areas, cool. If not,, legging it it is.

real shoal

Sorry, all I saw was you legging it to the Tulnar Start Zone.
And yes, any race can start anywhere.

mystic mango

is there anywhere to listen to the AoC music?

full badger
#

It's being composed by Bear McCreary and is due to be unveiled in the beta tests

mystic mango
#

oh ok

tight socket
#

music is one of the things im very excited for in this game. good music can really make it feel alive

full badger
#

the music you've heard in the aoc videos is just a bunch of pre-written songs that Intrepid have bought a licence to use in their videos. It likely won't be used in the finished game

I got q question. Will there be any important ores and herbs that can only be found inside dungeons?

vapid veldt
#

Keyword being only I don't think so. However, there will be crafting materials that drop from bosses, I know for a fact some will drop from raid / world bosses

light scarab
#

yeah i know about that too but i just tough that it would be an awesome element of the game if we had dungeon ores/herbs going on

vapid veldt
#

I mean, most of the dungeons are open world dungeons, so maybe?

#

You could find some materials

#

maybe not only inside, outside too

digital yacht
#

Loot tables of world bosses or dungeon bosses have a small RNG chance of dropping gear (completed items).[50][41]

There is a much higher chance that materials and unique recipes are dropped that can be used to craft items of equitable value.[50][51][52]
There is a small RNG chance of looting rare and legendary items or crafting materials from mobs based on the level, status and type of mob. This also applies to harvesting resources with a gathering profession.[53]

light scarab
#

im just playing wow out here doing old dungeons and im looking at all these herbs/ores inside the dungeons and i tough it was probably awesome for people to go there take the resources and craft something that feels nice

honest solstice

Any info on Slimes they are my fav fantasy mob i want to tame them alll

mystic mango

not much info on mobs atm

#

probably find out more in the pre-alpha next month

#

are the AoC staff doing an ashes pathfinder game?

tawdry forum
#

If a node is lvled to a metropolis next to a starting node will the mobs still be suitable to level up for a lvl 1-10?

mystic mango
#

there will always be the same mobs

#

but as node progress new areas in the node open up

#

these areas would contain better mobs and (i assume) items

hallow pond
#

o/ With Castle siges, node war declarations, monsters attacking nodes, guild wars, dongeons ect, isnt it going to be so much that player can feel lost? sorry if this belong to discussion, rephrasing... Is there any sort of balance reguarding timing between each content types?

crystal beacon
#

events such as Node sieges, Castle sieges, Guild wars, and Node wars will occur within a prime-time window somewhere between 3PM and 9PM server time. Castle Sieges can only occur every 3-4 weeks if I am correct

What happens when the twitch rush is over at launch and some servers will have low pop?

#

Can you elaborate abit more on that?

#

If 500.000 people play at launch, they will have to open 500 servers, right?

Right, so 50 servers

#

what happens when playerbase drops to 150.000?

Listen, its naive thinking its not going to happen. Its a no box cost in an age with twitch

quaint coral

To clarify their responses: its hard to say for sure what will happen when the doors haven't even been open yet, in the given situation you're asking about. To that end, there are potential solutions, but theres a chance we may never see it anyway.

thorny veldt

Is it planned for castle sieges or / and node sieges to include npcs on top of the player count? Like 250v250 players and let's say for example 250npcs on each side too. Or is it just purely players vs players with no npcs on the battle field?

#

Thanks a lot. I guess the answer is yes then. Ty Jahlon

#

My question Is- as i creating my “nick name” do i also create a “surname” for the character. As the game has family / marriage systems. And as you merry the other character you could choose yours or the others surname. Is it possible in the game? And to add to the family question as some players will play together with their brothers/sisters could have same surname?

where should we check to see if any alpha 1 keys will be released?

Node type question:

I understand that the node type (scientific, military, divine, economic) is determined by the type of NPCs (merchant, guard, priests, scholars) the level 1 Expidition node contains.

Is the type of NPCs that spawn random? Or is it certain activities within the immediate area dictate what the level 0 node will become?

grim breach

Node types are predetermined

desert ivy

Node types are the same across every server

On all servers

The "improved" system is due in March. But it's not an actual revamp, it's just going to be a slight tweak (1 of many) to the current system

hi i would like to ask,what are the countermeasures for world event abuse?for example,if a server discover how to trigger the dragon world event(the one shown in the node series),wont this event be duplicate in other servers to give them advantages?

tacit orbit
#

I believe that is completely allowed, because of the amount of people needed to cooperate to make that happen

#

And others could take advantage of this!

because i afraid of the server having the same event and making it the same

for me if the server having the same world event but the journey or how that trigger is different for other server then im okay with it

Hello I have a question for you guys in regards to the castles that guilds can take. I am not sure what the inside of the castle will look like but if it is a bigger open area have you thought of making the guilds able to make"shops" . basically like divid it up into plots of land and give the guilds the option to place what they want there? Weird question I know lol

That'll be what augments are for

If you go Mage/Mage, maybe the Mage augments are Fire, Lightning, Teleportation, Ice, for example. If you want you can apply the Fire augment to loads of your spells

Will there be chat-based local grouping?

Explanation/example:

someone in town is looking to quickly make a party/group for a nearby dungeon. Being lazy, they don't wanna manually click onto anyone that is interested. To get around this issue they go onto a grouping tab, set the requirements for the group they want to make, set the "invite string" that interested parties should input into chat, then submit the party invite to the local chat. Interested parties may respond to the chat with the chosen invite string, receiving an invite automatically if they the previously set parameters by the party leader are met. This could also be done via chat links or something, so the interested parties could inspect the party requirements before joining and then decide.
ruby swift
#

Don't think that has been asked or answered before. If it functions as an automated process as opposed to a more social aspect, probably not, since they want people to interact when forming groups and local/server reputation to matter.

@split berry yeah sorry I wasn't very clear. To be eligible for the current set of tests you needed to have backed the project through kickstarter in 2017 when the alpha one packs were available.

I have a question regarding the caravan system.
Looking into the wiki what I see is that you need to make a quest in order to be able to have the caravan with the set of items you want to put, so lets say that a guild/group of players or a player want to move goods from node A to node B or be part of the profit from moving those resources.

My first question is,

  • Does only 1 player need to make the quest and then others can allocate resources of the same type that you picked, into it? Example I pick lumber+ raw iron / copper and the rest of the group can fill the caravan with those resources or do we need to transfer all into one player in order to make that transition?

My second question is,

  • will there be a system where we can set the raw materials we farmed on node A into a storage and then another group/guild can secure those resources being moved to node B giving us a part of the profit? Lets say that I farm 100 iron ore = 10 gold and Guild/group/alliance gets 60%-70% of those 10 gold (6 gold-7 gold for the ones moving the resources and 3 gold-4 gold for myself), will there be a system like that? Basically making you the supplier and then the middle man does the rest kinda system?
    Players supplies storage A on node A --> Group/guild/alliance takes supplies from storage A to node B ---> % of the profit goes to the suppliers?

If that isn't possible how will the gold generated be inside the game then? Beside hand to hand trades, quests and traveling yourself with monsters hunting certificates(ex: pelts from wolf) from node A to B what other systems will there be to generate gold?

Thanks for taking the time to answer in advance

Quest type caravans are different from normal player caravans
A normal player caravan can be launched from any storage point
You can take multiple items/resources but specifics have not been stated - caravans have varying sizes and capacities

was thinking on a system almost like archeage where you crafted packs and someone else took them to another place to get 80% of the profit and the crafter got the 20% cut. But the mayor will also need resources to develop the city right? So will those come in as donations?
So basically its good old Lineage 2 Shop system saying "selling x amount of stuff" and hopping someone buys it and then they take the risk to move them to another node. Got it and thanks

desert ivy
#

The Mayor sets a tax rate for the node. Then any purchases that are made are increased by whatever the tax rate is, and the taxes go to the node.

crystal beacon
#

Will there be a system that stops a group of 5 people zerging a caravan with only one person escorting it or are they all free game?

Thanks...one would think that they could make sure to filter stuff like that out. I was really hoping to be able to name a city. I have a name picked out that is half real world, and half lore friendly. Would be nice to be able to use it...perhaps there should be a way to be able petition a server admin for a name change that comes on their end. That way they can make sure to avoid anything obscene or profane.

#

I get their rationale and respect it, however it is really irritating that if that is the route that they go the end result will be that everyone else has to essentially 'suffer' due to the lowest common denominator among us.

tribal torrent
#

During the most recent livestream yesterday, when Steven was showing the quest givers, it was nice that they won't have giant Exclamation/question marks on their head to break immersion and are instead using colors. However, are there any plans to have any colorblind features (in later builds/for release)? For this specific case, an easy-ish idea to implement could be instead of only changing the text color on relevance, maybe they include some small shape next to the name like: a triangle for vendor, or a square for possible quest giver?

desert ivy

Yes there will be colour blind features since Steven himself is colour blind

reef prawn
#

Will there be a "Follow Player" option like in WoW?

lean marlin
#

no.

lofty wadi
#

Not much of a question, more so a suggestion/discussion:

Combat resets, could you make it so combat resets are based on enemy to player range instead of the current location to player range? Maybe even giving different values of range to different monsters. E.g. slow trolls combat reset at 3 meters from enemy players and fast raptors after 5 meters. After all, a slow troll would give up chasing you sooner than a raptor.

Also, is passive health/mana regeneration going to be a thing? I would love to see it thrown overboard so it really becomes essential to use consumables and play with healers.Also I think it'd smooth out transition between fights.

Your thoughts?

@lofty wadi since this is a very open-ended question I'm going to move this down to the #general-discussion channel

In regards to skills, from what I understand weapons will have their separate skill trees, I was wondering if we had examples of them? I'm mainly wondering how would the ranger active skill tree be different from the bow one, or tank sword skills from the actual sword skillset.

Some Ranger skills might require a bow, where as bow weapon skills will 100% require one.

ello its been a while since if poked into here. whats the current news for Alpha 1 and 2? Or purchases for A1?

Current schedule for A1

No dates for Alpha 2. And Alpha 1 is not back on sale. It's still a big if.

mhm mhm, and did they have those two previews already? they go alright?

they happened, we can't talk about them though

You missed the fact that Alpha 1 will not be on sale for now

And your 1 week vacation is wasted

yea if the march is gonna be greek themed im looking forward to it. the fact u remembered that creeped me lol

Its not but Its important for me to have some roadmap to know what is expected and if I want to preorder. Customization and personal feeling of my character is very important for me

The devs have said they want the character creator to be on par with BDO, but we likely won't see the finished models until beta testing

You dont have to pre order anything

#

Thank you

merry echo
#

Will there be activities, like fishing, that won't need you to have points in a specific skill tree?

ruby swift
#

Fishing would fall under gathering

merry echo
#

so no

ruby swift
#

We know that there are fish farms for your freehold that may be part of processing, and of course the use of the fish products in crafting.

full badger
#

you'll be able to do basic gathering without investing too much into it, but to do more than the basics you'll need to train it up

merry echo
#

You can tame just about every creature in the game right? Except enemy mobs and bosses.

#

If you invest on the taming skill tree.

#

Like the Kirin they showed on the livestream

#

When is a tame creature, a resourse, a pet or a mount, a finished product so that it doesn't drop when you die?

ruby swift
#

That was the original intent, whether that actually makes it to live release remains to be seen. Some things when found to be unworkable or game breaking have changed over the years. Nodes deleveling is one example.

Does Intrepid allow trading accounts with other users? Like selling an account to an user cause he like some old skins but you dont really care at all and you just want the acces to the game. (i wan t to know if they have a policity abut that in case the account get blocked)

no

ur not allowed its againt TOS

young linden

sad, i will get stuck with that ugly pick lama forever

whyd u buy it then?

The rest of the pack is fine, the armor is gorgeus, but the lama... just that lama every time i look her on the eyes i just ear "sorry for being ugly". I thought it was going to be like star citizen where you got divided pledges and can trade with outer backers things that you dont like. But Nope. Its fine anyway what matters is the game on the end.

You don't get any keys to redeem. You'll get an email when it's your turn to test, but Alpha 2 is a long way out so dont' expect anything anytime soon

lucid olive

okay thanks! Just wasn't sure how it worked.

signal relic

How long will the current packages be available for? I want to wait til I see the results of the game from the Alpha 1 non-NDA before buying in, but will they disable the packages for Alpha 2 access before then?

they will be avilable for a long time, and whn they decide to take em down, they will give ample notice

when will the shop be updated for another pack? is it 1 month after last pack was released? I.E february 9th? - purely skin wise

yeah just wondered if there was any given set time, thx for the quick response

calm mason

i mean like a i5 with a 1050 on 16 gigs of ddr3

full badger

these are the system requirements for alpha testing, but like I said, the full release is still a long way away

calm mason
#

alpha seems a little expenisve but the beta seems more realistic, I mean if that isnt tooo missleading ima deff jump into that beta

full badger
#

There's plenty of time, so no need to rush into anything. Wait for a set of cosmetics that really interest you and be sure to check what each pack contains (They have a lot more than just testing access)

calm mason
#

a games cosmetics dont really make or break anything for me its core gameplay and community, If its just another clone then its not intresting, But by the way the devs talk about the game its 100% not a clone. Just has to run good and be intresting, Like valhiem.

this game could bring a new level to MMORPGs if they do it right

sacred bloom
#

@calm mason with the alphas your not really paying for the sake of playing the game, at it's current state it is very bare bones and is really only for people who are super enthusiastic to making the game as good as it can be. The beta's will be much more of a finished game with the goal to play the game in a semi finished state

midnight nest
#

I have a question about the cosmetic skins. Say I buy a pack and the armor skins are on a human character, but I plan on playing a dwarf will I still be able to use these armor packs or do I need to wait?

lean marlin

You would need to throw your armor skin back into your "closet" and then throw it onto the dwarf. Same with every skin. @midnight nest

midnight nest
#

Ok awesome so it will “work” then

lean marlin

Yeah, but it can only be with one character at a time. So just remember that.

topaz steeple

hi there! i was getting quite curious, is there literally nothing to go on, regarding alpha 2? like could it take even a year after alpha 1, to get alpha 2 across? or is there a chance for assumptions to be made, based on the duration length of past test phases, to almost make sure it wont be another year to wait for alpha 2?

full badger
#

Alpha 2 starting relies entirely on how alpha 1 goes, and right now we don't know how long alpha 1 is going to last. Games testing and development is quite unpredictable I'm afraid.

topaz steeple

so it could even take a decade?

or would it be realistic to say it could at maximum take a year or two/three?

Ashes of Creation Wiki

We don't have deleveling, instead what we have is experience debt. Now the more experience debt you accrue, the greater the detriment to your character; not to the point where you can not get out of the debt. There will always be a way forward to remove your debt.[2] – Steven Sharif

and no, the cash shop will never sell anything like a ways to get rid of exp debt. cosmetics only.

It's still paying real money for gear which would fall under Steven's definition of P2W

There will be no way to buy in-game items (aside from cosmetics) with real money, and no way to convert real money into in-game currency

When you don't use the weapons, will they appear clad in your character like in BDO? I have only seen that they materialize out of nowhere in the videos and I think that the first would be a form of role and immersion favorable to the game

@umbral cargo It varies, I think occasionally the wiki gets higher quality versions than the stream versions, other potential sources of higher quality images than the stream ones are youtube 4k uploads, posts from staff into the discord, occasionally the reddit will get something in higher quality (As a source that'll usually only apply if it's the banner), and the official AoC website will usually post in higher quality than the streams for the stuff that ends up there.
