Guys is not the time to give access to people that bought a 500 dollars pack? I mean I know what I paid for..and I paid long time ago..but cmon..500 bucks ..ANY game in the industry will give access to people dumping this kind of money..

#

You guys should really rethink ..I paid 500 dollars long time ago and I only have access to alpha 2...which is still a year away...so frustrating..

2000 BRL

#

it was the most expensive pack there

desert ivy Mar 2, 2021, 1:25 AM

Then you get Alpha 2 access which there is no date for yet

yup as you noted you'll be able to upgrade to a pack that has Alpha Two at the earliest! make sure you log into the shop first to see the correct options 😄

Player combat in Ashes of Creation is both vast and intimate. It spans many aspects of the game itself. From great political battles held on the fields of massive castles, to open world conflicts fought for the pride of Guild Leaders.

Corruption

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

Huh. I read through corruption but does that once red, always red until worked off or killed? Because the pvp stat dampening punishment for that seems a little tough for regular pvpers. Idk, i get the reasoning for it, but thats pretty deterring to them murdering roleplay serial killers

lean marlin Mar 2, 2021, 2:36 AM

you are corrupted until you work off the corruption, either by killing mobs or being killed.

Then there's some sort of quest you have to do to purge yourself.

The reasoning is that murder is not PvP. They want you to participate in the sanctioned, "meaningful" PvP activities and events such as Caravans, and so on.

arctic sky Mar 2, 2021, 2:38 AM

@manic elk corruption is an anti grief mechanic.. All stick no carrot

#

There is also no corruption if the other player fights back

#

And they have incentive to do so

manic elk Mar 2, 2021, 2:38 AM

#

Ahhh ok

arctic sky Mar 2, 2021, 2:39 AM

Since they drop less mats

manic elk Mar 2, 2021, 2:39 AM

Thats an important detail there

arctic sky Mar 2, 2021, 2:39 AM

So they choose.. Give you corruption and keep less gatherables or fight back and keep more

I was just watching February development update on YouTube and I have a question: Are you going to somehow rework the old used hotbars system and keybinding that is in almost every mmo the same (pressing 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9... to activate spells/items assignet there)? From 1 - 5 its fine but others I dont think are good and I am worried that after rebinding keys like Q E R T F G Y X C V into hotbars I would have to bind other important shortcuts elsewhere.
P.S.: I like that when you mount something another hotbar with SHIFT+1, SHIFT+2,... shortcuts appear with mounts skills

You can set your own keybinds

So in the new cosmetic pack there are greaves. Since there is no armor type „greaves“ how does equipping them work? Do they replace the boots? Do the cosmetics have more types?

For the last time .. i swear i ask this EVERY month .. can you guys make a darn monthly set that is "hide / dragon / leather based" for archers.. rogues or other? You guys only ever make plate armor or mage sets

ruby swift Mar 2, 2021, 9:08 PM

#

They have answered that. Hide/Leather/dragonskin all falls under medium.
Medium armor
Leather armor.[25]
Can incorporate robe, chainmail, and plate, influences.[26][30] https://ashesofcreation.wiki/images/b/b7/a1-dwarf-render.jpg

They may have answered that unknown. But im refering to the packs they release every month to purchase

#

Its always plate armor. Or a giant 1 peice robe.

I knlw i can wear either. But it wouldnt look right imo

#

Let me just stealth around in this armor set that weighs 80 pounds

We've definitely done some more leathery/rangery looks in the past, here are a few examples:
https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Harvest_Guard
https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Mantle_of_the_Radiant_Grove
https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Sentinel's_Hide

#

I know typically the team likes to alternate back and forth between what materials/style they're using each month, so perhaps we'll be up for some more leathery looks again soon! thumbsup

Thank you for the answer. My question did not refer to cosmetics being reused though. Let me rephrase it. In which slot do i equip a cosmetic that does not have it‘s own armor slot. The example here are the greaves, as there are only pants and boots slots according to the wiki.

ruby swift Mar 2, 2021, 9:29 PM

#

It will be classified as either one later down the line.

true finch Mar 2, 2021, 9:30 PM

#

So you either can see my butt or im barefoot? lol

ruby swift Mar 2, 2021, 9:30 PM

#

You do not equip cosmetics, you skin existing pieces. So that piece will have a classification it matches.

ruby swift Mar 2, 2021, 9:31 PM

#

true finch So you either can see my butt or im barefoot? lol

Could be, there are other examples on the website. Also, don't read too much into the equipment slots or stats on the wiki. Nothing is final.

Hiya! I've asked the team to see if I can get a bit more clarity on this particular cosmetic thumbsup

true finch Mar 2, 2021, 9:33 PM

#

@plucky pawn thank you!

#

@plucky pawn the cosmetic „thicket endowment“ has a similar issue, as it also doesnt clearly match a category.
Although bare chest could work with this cosmetic.

#

Well it could be a shoulder piece but it sort of collides with the chest piece as well

plucky pawn Mar 2, 2021, 9:47 PM

#

Yup the Thicket's Endowment is likely a shoulder cosmetic as you've noted, the team let me know that these Greaves would be a leg/pants item accordingly thumbsup

Does this mean you can place a freehold in a tier 2 vassal node (as it is in the zone of influence of a tier 3 node, or do freeholds need to be placed in the actual level 3 node.

#

Disregard. According to this, you can place your Freehold in a vassal node lower than tier 3

tulip hatch Mar 2, 2021, 10:06 PM

#

All that matters is that it is in the ZOI of a T3 or higher node
Vassals are in the ZOI of a higher level node so thats what you need to pay attention to
The vassals level doesnt matter since its now in the ZOI of the higher node

That's kinda the point to a degree. Players will have to group up and contest the dungeons in order to do them. Obviously if they see it gets massively abused during testing they'll try and find a solution, but we'll have to wait and see

sacred bloom how will open world dungeons work once u have 5 people in them wil they lock

No. 500 people could go in if they want, there is no stopping people from entering as that would defeat the purpose of an open-world dungeon

sacred bloom Mar 3, 2021, 4:13 AM

#

whats to stop 20 people from doing a 5 man dungeon then

desert ivy Mar 3, 2021, 4:17 AM

#

Well there is no 5 man dungeons since the dungeons are based around 8 and 16 players with raids being 40 players. We don't know exactly what Intrepids plans are/if they have any to stop that, but there are both natural things that stop playing from doing that and developer made stops.

For the natural stops, if players get locked out of loot after a kill for a certain amount of time, then why would they want to do an 8 man dungeon with 24 people? That means that a ton of people would get loot locked from it and it wouldn't be worth it. There's also the factor of other players coming to attack you while you're doing the dungeon/raid.

For developer made, they could make it so the boss "enrages" if a certain amount of players attack it for example it gains insane damage and wipes your group. They could also add other stops to prevent this. We don't know what their plans are

#

But the entire point of an open-world dungeon is so that there is conflict inside the dungeon so the game isn't just a generic instanced PvE dungeon game

dense smelt Mar 3, 2021, 4:18 AM

#

Uhm...arent there any instanced dungeons with great PvE encounters in a controlled environment?

#

I thought there would be both

sacred bloom Mar 3, 2021, 4:18 AM

#

so then its really 8 not man dungeons

#

its more like 8+ with scaling

desert ivy Mar 3, 2021, 4:19 AM

#

There are some, 20% are instanced but 80% are open-world but the instanced dungeons/raids are not meant to be there for Best in Slot loot, more as a "story based" dungeon

dense smelt Mar 3, 2021, 4:19 AM

#

RIP

#

One would think they could do both

desert ivy Mar 3, 2021, 4:19 AM

#

"We're probably going to do instancing only in certain dungeons and in arenas. You probably won't see instancing too much anywhere else. What you see is gonna be what you get." is one quote

vapid walrus Mar 3, 2021, 4:19 AM

#

You can do dungeons with less than 8 people

desert ivy Mar 3, 2021, 4:19 AM

#

"There will be open world dungeons and raids. The aspiration is to maintain the open world feel while being able to capitalize on the benefits of instanced mechanics." is another

sacred bloom Mar 3, 2021, 4:20 AM

#

so theres not really a min or max amount of players for dungeons

desert ivy Mar 3, 2021, 4:22 AM

#

sacred bloom its more like 8+ with scaling

There is no scaling

dense smelt Mar 3, 2021, 4:22 AM

#

I liked how warhammer online did mount gundabad or what that giant cavern was called. It had a giant initial area that was open world with public quests etc and then at the deepest point there was a normal instancced dungeon tuned for 5 players. If a group controlled the initial caverns it was very difficuly for others to get access to the instanced dungeons.

vapid walrus Mar 3, 2021, 4:23 AM

There will be "difficulty scaling" in a sense that the better your performance is in a stage of a dungeon, the harder the subsequent stages will be. So if you bring 40 players in a 8 players dungeon (if the game allows you to), it will most likely detect your performance and set it to the hardest difficulty for the next stages unless your 40 players is performing even worse than an 8 players group.

There will be "difficulty scaling" in a sense that the better your performance is in a stage of a dungeon, the harder the subsequent stages will be.

Difficulty is not only more HP and more armor, but also different AI behaviours.

I assume it will be hard enough. As you can see in this video, the dragon is a level 10 boss. Players are capped to level 10 but not all of them are level 10. There's about 50 of them there. They're all having a very hard time if not for the GMs helping them.

#

To be honest, if you bring 100 level 50 players to zerg a raid boss, I'm not sure what you'd expect.

crystal beacon Mar 3, 2021, 9:25 AM

#

if a boss is meant for 50 players then probably no issue but was thinking more content aimed at maybe 8 being zerged down by 30 players taking the challenge out, thats my instance to me made more sense

#

why instance*

dungeons and raids not being instance is new for me!

Combat look weird and a downgrade from what i have seen from apocalypse combat? it felt more smooth

grim breach Mar 3, 2021, 11:41 AM

#

Apocalypse's combat is only half of the whole combat system

#

The MMO is supposed to have hybrid combat. Apocalypse is action only

#

Not everything from Apocalypse will make it into the MMORPG

ashen loom Mar 3, 2021, 11:41 AM

#

Oh ok then, thanks

grim breach Mar 3, 2021, 11:41 AM

#

However, the Apocalypse is supposed to be the base for action combat

#

We should see the action combat more when the non-NDA test starts

#

Steven is not much of an action player after all. So what you're looking at is his from his own perspective so far

ashen loom Mar 3, 2021, 11:42 AM

Considering the first thing they did was a combat test (yes yes, BR with cash shop and battle pass blablabla) but it did what it's supposed to do. It's safe to say combat is definitely not a second thought.

Will players be forced to spec for either pvp or pve? Or will our characters be viable in both areas?

arctic sky Mar 3, 2021, 3:40 PM

#

The game is pvx

desert ivy Mar 3, 2021, 3:40 PM

#

That's a balance question. There'll probably be builds that are better for one or the other though

arctic sky Mar 3, 2021, 3:40 PM

#

And will be balanced on that

#

But playstyle and skills will be your choice

pale heart Mar 3, 2021, 3:41 PM

#

Hey fellow gamers. Do you know if the developers game touched the topic about handling botting?

desert ivy Mar 3, 2021, 3:41 PM

#

There'll certainly be builds that are better for PvE and some that are better for PvP. There'll probably also be PvX focused builds that aren't better than the specific PvP/PvE builds but can still do both

floral maple Mar 3, 2021, 3:42 PM

#

Ok thanks!

arctic sky Mar 3, 2021, 3:43 PM

#

@pale heart they have said they are aware of botting and will have active and passive counter measures.. No they won't tell you what those are because then people will just spend the time to find ways around them before launch

exotic nymph Mar 3, 2021, 3:43 PM

#

Also each game will have a gm

arctic sky Mar 3, 2021, 3:43 PM

#

And it's going to have anti botting and cheat baked in the game not slapped on 3rd party after

exotic nymph Mar 3, 2021, 3:43 PM

#

So the bots can be reported

pale heart Mar 3, 2021, 3:46 PM

#

@arctic sky ohh thanks. Yeah that makes sense, but considering that there will be no box cost there is a chance the realms will be overflooded in the beginning. But it sounds good that there will be a GM on each server.

arctic sky Mar 3, 2021, 3:47 PM

Uhhh... It had $15 sub

pale heart Mar 3, 2021, 3:47 PM

pale heart Mar 3, 2021, 3:47 PM

#

Cool

arctic sky Mar 3, 2021, 3:47 PM

#

And they have said no to free trials so far

pale heart Mar 3, 2021, 3:47 PM

#

Though as populare as WoW is they are dealing with hugh botting problems

arctic sky Mar 3, 2021, 3:48 PM

#

That's because they stopped caring decade ago

pale heart Mar 3, 2021, 3:48 PM

#

So was just wondering if they have said anything about the topic, but it might get further explained closer to release

arctic sky Mar 3, 2021, 3:49 PM

#

They won't explain the countermeasures

That's counter productive

They still just state its there like they have

I like the new cosmetics that were previewed, but that building... Is it a house skin? Or like a shrine? Or a fishing pond?

Or maybe a stable for aquatic mounts?

We are never told

south bridge Mar 3, 2021, 6:00 PM

Can Intrepid at least give us some generic ideas of the building and then when the cosmetic is sold say for this generic type of building?

One and done!

The answer is no, sadly

cedar basin Mar 3, 2021, 7:05 PM

Now, you might see the skins or variations in the game on NPCs, but they won't be purchaseable again

peak zenith Mar 3, 2021, 7:05 PM

#

Honestly I was checking the skins like every month and forgot to check like 2 months in a row. OF COURSE in them 2 months the one that I wanted came out

teal saffron Mar 3, 2021, 7:06 PM

#

n00b here. where do you purchase these skins? are you guys talking about the ones that come with the pre-order packs?

cedar basin Mar 3, 2021, 7:07 PM

Yes

#

Once you buy a pack, going forward you can pick and choose individual pieces to buy/add to your collection

so the $75 Wayfarer pack doesn't look like it comes with any character model skins. But are you saying that after buying this, you are then able to buy individual pieces monthly without buying more full packs?

No, I should have been more detailed give me amoment to type it out

arctic sky Mar 3, 2021, 7:11 PM

Color coded for your viewing pleasure

cedar basin Mar 3, 2021, 7:11 PM

#

You can buy any cosmetic within the tier of pack you purchase. If you buy the 150$ pack, then you can buy any cosmetic up to that tier going forward. you can Also upgrade your pack at anytime for the difference in cost.

arctic sky Mar 3, 2021, 7:11 PM

#

You can only buy stuff later that's included in your pack

teal saffron Mar 3, 2021, 7:13 PM

ty to you both. and suddenly im considering the top tier pack 🙄

arctic sky Mar 3, 2021, 7:14 PM

#

There will be a lot of cosmetics you can earn in game too

#

So don't feel like you have to have them from shop.. yes they will be different but just as awesome

cedar basin Mar 3, 2021, 7:15 PM

Probably more awesome tbh

Earned stuff is normally better 👍

Is the Alpha 2 going to be a constant server to play on or is it going to be on and off like playable phases a few days here and there?

stable violet Mar 3, 2021, 7:30 PM

#

Alpha 2 is supposed to be Persistent, but likely with frequent wipes

arctic sky Mar 3, 2021, 7:30 PM

#

They will have to take it down for patching etc

#

Don't expect it 100% uptime

oak sand Mar 3, 2021, 7:32 PM

#

of course. was just curious to see if it was just spurts of play or if it was consistent aside from patches or wipes.

Let me ask those who are currently playing the game think it would be worth throwing the $250 minimum down to jump on the next alpha

arctic sky Mar 3, 2021, 7:34 PM

Can always wait

#

how is the use of stables on freeholds of other players? for example family members? as different mounts can be bred in the underrealm, will you need to have a guild freehold and place a stable there for a second one? or will you be limited to what mounts you can create based on the placement of your freehold?

but youre only viewing the concept art arent you? not how it looks in game

merry acorn Mar 4, 2021, 8:25 AM

#

pretty muvfh

#

much

crystal beacon Mar 4, 2021, 8:25 AM

#

have they even made how it looks in game yet then

merry acorn Mar 4, 2021, 8:25 AM

#

they have shown some stuff but limited

crystal beacon Mar 4, 2021, 8:25 AM

#

theres like how many months of cosmetics they have to dev

tulip fjord Mar 4, 2021, 8:25 AM

#

Some of those earlier ones are so beautiful. I'm bummed I missed out

merry acorn Mar 4, 2021, 8:25 AM

#

yep.

#

Well Im not them they have shown it so we will see

crystal beacon Mar 4, 2021, 8:28 AM

#

just seems like a big drain on resources having that many cosmetics a month they have to dev

merry acorn Mar 4, 2021, 8:28 AM

#

More skin more money More money more ability to hire people

#

More people to dev

rough peak Mar 4, 2021, 8:28 AM

#

Or maybe it is efficient because they get an idea what the community likes/buys/wants/gets excited over so they know what direction they should get into with all the other stuff they do

merry acorn Mar 4, 2021, 8:29 AM

#

it all circles around

rough peak Mar 4, 2021, 8:29 AM

#

See it this way - they learn a lot about their community during development already which would mean they should get really good at what they are doing because they are not just blindly adding content without feedback

merry acorn Mar 4, 2021, 8:30 AM

#

And they are all unique

crystal beacon Mar 4, 2021, 8:30 AM

#

yea but its cosmetics. the community should be more excited over the games systems and mechanics

merry acorn Mar 4, 2021, 8:31 AM

#

well... they have told us about alot of them

#

we love them

#

except the curruption system is a bit abusive but they have shown concerns with it and will get on balancing it

rough peak Mar 4, 2021, 8:31 AM

#

I am pretty sure the community is excited over everything - but people shouldn't really tell others what they should or shouldn't get excited over

merry acorn Mar 4, 2021, 8:31 AM

#

this games for a big broad playerbase

#

something for everyone

#

I like my cosmetics But i love bard

#

And i can show support for the devs

#

Saying I like the way you guys going

ruby swift Mar 4, 2021, 8:41 AM

@merry acorn @crystal beacon

crystal beacon Mar 4, 2021, 8:45 AM

#

just seems like an unecessary emphasis on cosmetics that would have to be slowing down actual development. surely theres a better way for them to make money. 90% of these skins will become useless and never used. what, fanatics of this game are gonna buy the cosmetics every single month so they can have 20 of them and end up using 1 of them?

merry acorn Mar 4, 2021, 8:47 AM

#

they can do what they want :/ and as we said it allows them to use the money for other things

rough peak Mar 4, 2021, 8:47 AM

#

You just got a really good response - they use pieces of the models and re-textures of these cosmetics to populate the entire world, which makes it really efficient.

merry acorn Mar 4, 2021, 8:47 AM

#

^

#

and that

crystal beacon Mar 4, 2021, 8:47 AM

#

yea ok so they reappropriate other skins into new skins? big woop

merry acorn Mar 4, 2021, 8:47 AM

#

thats ok

crystal beacon Mar 4, 2021, 8:47 AM

#

what mmo launches with like 100 cosmetics?

merry acorn Mar 4, 2021, 8:48 AM

#

Your not making sense yea it will launch with a bunch of skins

pulsar obsidian Mar 4, 2021, 8:48 AM

#

#aoc-discussion

upper musk Mar 4, 2021, 9:34 AM

#

I think you misunderstand, they can re-purpose cosmetics for anything. Npcs, enemies, I mean they have endless uses, and making them available to purchase for those who want them hurts practically no one. It's not like they have a gun to your head forcing you to buy

#

not to mention the cosmetics have no other effects aside from aesthetics in the game. so i'm not understanding what the issue people would have is, especially since it's better than having an under polished game

full badger Mar 4, 2021, 9:37 AM

@upper musk the conversation has moved down to #aoc-discussion by now 🙂

I was looking at the links for the previous cosmetics, and wondered if there is atlernate links to their pictures instead of the wiki? Cause the pictures there are really small and hard to see

merry acorn Mar 4, 2021, 9:58 AM

#

@rough depot https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Voyager_plus_pre-order_pack:_Oct_2020_-_Nov_2020

#

click on the month cosmetics you want to look at and theres links that have bigger pictures

#

so you can view them better

#

otherwise no

rough depot Mar 4, 2021, 9:59 AM

#

Oh it was just some of them now that im looking through them

#

a few links dont have the entire cosmetic picture

just some of the cosmetics

Its previous ones, so not a big issue

How many cosmetic accessories can you wear. Example. Can i wear the ring skin from 1 pack. Thr frost gauntlet from another. The grieves from this months pack and the fire boots from another?

rigid rose Mar 4, 2021, 12:59 PM

@crystal beacon if they are the single part and not full character skin yes

There isn't any official list. The community does have a pretty good idea of who it will be, however.

Will I lose the progress of my character in these prelaunch when the game is fully released?

#

Also. I just purchased the Voyager package. How will I be able to play in the Alpha 2 phase?

desert ivy Mar 4, 2021, 1:46 PM

You'll get an email with instructions when Alpha 2 is about to start

#

That's not happening any time soon though

crystal beacon Mar 4, 2021, 1:47 PM

I assume it will redirect me to a place where I can install AoC too right?

Because it's not in steam I believe

It's not on Steam, but all the download info will be in the email when you get it

No

0% chance

Alpha 1 doesn't end in May, that's just when the first publicly scheduled test ends. There will be more Alpha 1 tests after May.

Will I be able to keep my name and what my character looks like or will I lose everything?

desert ivy Mar 4, 2021, 2:02 PM

#

Name reservation is included in the Voyager-Plus pack which allows you to reserve 1 name at launch. They're planning to release the character creator before the game launches so you can create your character before hand

We don't really have much info on the summoner archetype. They said you can have up to 3 combat pets, so with different skills you could have one, but stronger

Hello, I'm beginning to get excited about Ashes. I played the New World Beta but... Well I'm excited about Ashes now!

I was hoping there might be somewhere I can find information about bards and freeholds. I have thoughts of being a tavern owning bard.

Bard/summoner tavern owner is very intriguing to me but I am curious to know more about the role combos.

desert ivy Mar 4, 2021, 2:40 PM

#

There is next to no real information about Bard or Summoner. They will be the last 2 Archetypes to be revealed. Everything we know is on the Wiki https://ashesofcreation.wiki/

*They haven't decided yet if the early character creation is going to be for everyone or just people with a pack. I think its important to bring that up because imo thats on the fence to p2w or at least p2convinence

desert ivy Mar 4, 2021, 2:56 PM

#

Even though they haven't confirmed either way, they'll probably just end up making it so that anyone with a subscription before launch can make a character

brittle ferry Mar 4, 2021, 2:57 PM

#

That would be the best outcome @desert ivy IMO

vapid veldt Mar 4, 2021, 2:58 PM

Time is money friend

unless you're fine with more people with head-starts

that's where you're wrong kiddo

vapid veldt Mar 4, 2021, 3:01 PM

#

There's really no way around this. Not having to spend time creating your character at launch IS an advantage. You can argue how much of an advantage it is or how serious it is, but it is one. You can also argue it be p2w or pay to convinence, but it's Pay to something

@calm jewel P OMEGALUL R

desert ivy Mar 4, 2021, 6:25 PM

Since you need the Voyager-Plus pack to get costumes, but the packs come with the cosmetics for that month if you don't already have a pack

calm jewel Mar 4, 2021, 6:25 PM

#

Ah. Ok. thanks for the clarification.

peak zenith Mar 4, 2021, 6:27 PM

#

If you don't have the money to spend it all at once, you can buy each tier and upgrade, I think

ruby swift Mar 4, 2021, 6:27 PM

#

Correct, but you do not get cosmetics retroactively.

#

You would only get the armor from the month your final upgrade falls in.

#

Say you buy the $75 pack, you would get that months featured accessory. Then the next month you upgrade to the $150. You would get that months pet and have the option to purchase the accessory for $5 a la carte. And so on up the line. Also, since people seem to be confused on this, the sub time and embers are not additive. You get the total of your highest package.

ruby swift Mar 4, 2021, 8:35 PM

#

The nodes and where they "pop" are based off of player actions. While you may have some familiarity with starter zones quests and mechanics from your time and testing, you have no real advantage over someone who say watches a streamer do the same stuff. All progress will be wiped before live launch, and how masses of people who did not buy into testing interact with the world will lead to different results from testing servers.

As far as we've been told you obtain water mounts the same way as land mounts, by taming underwater creatures. There's been nothing said about fishing them up.

@plucky pawn i think that is a misunderstanding unless @idle siren needs to clearify. what i remember him saying is he was not ready to commit to offering Alpha 1 keys with how the last testing period went. that to me means in the next couple week and following the 1 week test there could be a possibility of keys being available for the A1 1 month testing

not a yes but not a no

for the citizens of nodes under higher-tier nodes, are the taxes higher or do the nodes get a smaller cut of the taxes?

So mayors can choose between taxing systems?

Currently from what has been shown the mayor will be able to set the tax percentage rate @feral hamlet

Is it know if the mayors of metropolises tax the citizens of nodes under them or the nodes themselves?

tranquil willow Mar 5, 2021, 2:27 PM

From the Wiki:
Vassals are subject to the government, alliances, wars, taxes, and trade of their parent node, and are able to receive federal aid from them

#

so the answer is yes

void vortex Mar 5, 2021, 2:31 PM

but if no one dicides to live in this node and just come and go...no taxes at all ?

No one to pay taxes means no funding for the node ye

So I'm asking this mainly to clarify for myself but to also perhaps put an idea into the dev's minds for further down the road. From my understanding you can wear any armor type and use any weapon you want (much like in ESO), so the question on my mind atm is will there be an outfitting system put in place at some point that will allow you to change the appearance of your armor? Additionally, will there be a system to learn new armor appearances that aren't just outright bought as a cosmetic skin from the store?

Ashes of Creation Wiki

Transmog

We want to be realistic with the application of particular types of armor, such as plate armor. In this regard for the different sexes there's a fine line that has to be drawn between accentuating the form of the sex as well as making it somewhat realistic and actually applicable to the environment.[3] – Steven Sharif

tranquil willow Mar 5, 2021, 2:33 PM

Yes there will be. It's called transmog

burnt mist Mar 5, 2021, 2:35 PM

More so meant it as say I'm a Ren'kai Orc, since armor appearance is supposedly locked to your race I'm wondering if there will be a way to say learn the armor style of the Vek Orcs or the Py'rai Elves?

#

Think of the ESO motif system for reference.

You can listen here where Steven explains the way gear changes to accommodate for the different races.https://youtu.be/IXIpLC__7fA?t=3271

burnt mist Mar 5, 2021, 2:44 PM

#

So in short; not likely. as each set's look will be influenced by your race.

tulip hatch Mar 5, 2021, 2:45 PM

Correct, since races have different builds that the gear must accommodate for but it will still stick to that gear sets designed theme

burnt mist Mar 5, 2021, 2:50 PM

#

Okay new question...For a back item appearance will we be able to pick a rucksack instead of having alike a cloak or cape? You know to get that true adventurer feel of constantly being on the road?

tulip hatch Mar 5, 2021, 2:50 PM

#

yes backpacks are one of the back item options

burnt mist Mar 5, 2021, 2:51 PM

It's a one or the other not both right? Because clipping issues.

tulip hatch Mar 5, 2021, 2:51 PM

your inventory storage is a backpack normally, you can craft different types to hold more resources/potions and things of that nature - you can choose to display it if you so wish

yes as it is the back slot

dense shard Mar 5, 2021, 3:00 PM

I’m just curious because I and so many others I know feel the same. Why have a cashop in an already subscription based game. It feels like it’s going away from the whole philosophy that I have heard from the early streams to recent that you don’t want to put content behind a pay wall. From my understanding even skins are content that have lore behind it and only seems to take away from immersion.

desert ivy Mar 5, 2021, 3:02 PM

#

Because it was either have Box Cost + Sub or Sub + Cosmetic Cash shop and they felt that the cash shop gave a lower barrier to entry

#

Since players only need to spend $15 to try the game out instead of the $75 of the box cost + sub

#

thought the statement was about launch

ruby swift Mar 5, 2021, 3:35 PM

Since it was phrased as a question, here goes. No, they have promised parity, they have not talked about changing how cosmetics, or their volume, or availability are released. I will link a nice long post after this from the guy in charge on how they think of this and why.

fickle island Mar 5, 2021, 3:43 PM

#

The one thing that the devs have been doing right in my opinion is making you want to play. The fact that they'll be more cosmetics for grinding than cash shop. People will want to play more.

There are a lot of complications with server transfers with how some of Ashes' core mechanics are set up

#

If they do allow server transfer, you wouldn't be able to take anything valuable with you, it would be a pretty much naked toon with just your level. Perhaps once we get closer to final release we'll get more details on it, but right now their stance has been "unlikely"

Yeah I was hoping that players could lend money (or nodes) for creating that "bank" system by themselves. I mean there will be nodes that have a lot more money than others, so I would like to see players develop that node so, others can be like "Hey we heard that this node has a lot of money and they are willing to lend it if you need" and from that, this specific node would develop more towards to be kinda "bank"

¥1,625.4 / months 🙄

#

full badger Not sure tbh, not that it really matters. That number is useless without knowing...

@drowsy moth The 480 sqkm number refers to both land and ocean, it does not include the estimated 100 sqkm of Underrealm.

#

@fierce light it is the answer to an earlier question, does not refer to your yen per month answer.

#

And while the answer of what regions will be harmonized for pricing is accurate in that they have not announced which regions, it is traditionally done in places where the regular sub fee would be an economic hardship. Which is not Japan.

ruby swift Mar 6, 2021, 10:02 AM

Nope, just that they are hiring for the staff needed to run that side of operations.

If you siege node, lets say it was a military node. Now new group have that node and starts to "build new node" from scratch right? Will that node be the same type of node that it was previously (in this case military node)?
