i noticed that in other games, like lineage2 and wow, magic dps tends to be far and away better than melee dps. is it likely to be the same here?
vapid walrus
That depends on your build I guess, also they are probably going to be tweaking around damage through the games development so its hard to say right now.
maiden rune
Considering there will also be aiming involved with some of the spells and the like it will probably depend as well on the capabilities of the player and not just a rotation.

How will fighting over nodes work if they're recently occupied? say you wanted a node but someone else has already grabbed it?
do you have to wait to siege it? can you trade for it?
Like, Fresh nodes
not towns/cities
crystal flax
That's not really how it works, any experience earned in an area automatically goes to a node
You don't "grab" nodes
tribal rune
So it effectively goes to whoever puts in the most "recent/highest" node score?
worn wagon
Sieges can be declared 21 days after a node reached level 3. So you can't Siege "fresh" nodes
crystal flax
Nothing "goes" to anyone, I'm not sure what you're referring to

You can't own a node. The closest to that would be becoming the mayor of that node

According to the wiki Monster coins will be purchasable via the cosmetic store.
...
You do not target a node. It is random. Thus no p2w.
It does not happen during siege declarations.
The rewards are purely cosmetic.
The odds that there is going to be a monster coin event, that you happen to have a coin that matches, for a node that you are prepared to drop a siege declaration on, at the time you want, that is actually successful and damages services and takes them offline (which won't affect the days long lead in time during the siege declaration) is minimal to non-existent at best.

Let’s say such a scenario happens, but you lack the appropriate coin my question is will you be able to purchase that coin on the cash shop to participate?

No, coins are based on tiers that match certain event types. Since you don't know beforehand what event is going to pop that would match what coin, how are you going to know which to buy and when for that very specific scenario. You are reaching is my opinion. It happens.

Do we have any ideas as to which buildings/Services/NPCs can be disabled by monster coin events?

Nope. Just that they will be, and then can be repaired.
Just like sieges, there will be various goals during an event to determing win/loss. For those controlling monsters, it will be various things like disabling buildings, for those defending, of course, stopping that from happening. So would be very hard to say which buildings are disabled and which are not. All depends on results.

Another question, what does the Wiki mean by "character creation throttles" when referring to managed server populations?
dark jungle
It means limiting the number of characters on a server post launch to avoid queues
crystal beacon
Can other players "use" your workstation and pay rent for example?
wait, let me elaborate
for example, have legendary level of crafting whatsoever. does that mean only you can use legendary level of workstation in order to repair legendary items?
So, if one guy needs his legendary sword to be repaired, does he need to come to a legendary crafter with legendary workstation in order to repair that said sword?
grim breach
So, if one guy needs his legendary sword to be repaired, does he need to come to...
Yes. You will need a Master Artisan (Crafter) with the appropriate level of workstation to repair your legendary sword. Being a legendary sword as well, you may need to have the legendary materials needed to repair the item which may also need Master Gatherers to obtain such materials.
ruby swift
👍
Another question, what does the Wiki mean by "character creation throttles" ...
A common tactic in mmos launches, especially when names are server independent, is to create a character on each server you want to lock that name on, just in case you might end up playing there in the future. Screws up queue times, adds server load, and on and on. So they limit how many you can create to make the load manageable, especially during those first few critical days of launch when stuff is overstressed.

Greetings fellow gamers! Question for the "merch" team, will there be any AOC computer chassis like wow have? i would totally buy one 🙂
broken shuttle
Is it likely that dwarfs could be tall as customisation
desert ivy
Races have a minimum and maximum height, so you wouldn't be able to make a 2 metre tall dwarf
hybrid parrot
@simple ether ah i see, well looking forward to get some merch. Well thank you for your answer 🙂
like your videos btw ❤️

i heard distance should really matter in this game... and that u send ur items with caravans ? so when i am farming something across the map i have to send it back trough caravans that could get raided ?
steady ocean
You could walk it back, but how much you can take with you is limited by your personal inventory space. If you max out your inventory space you would want to use a mule to carry goods. And then if you need to transport a lot of materials, you would a use a caravan, which has to START at a place that has storage, such as a freehold or node.
In the open world while gathering, you'll be using mules and/or simply just your personal inventory space.
sleek stratus
so i plan to be a assassin and a collector like collecting plants and stuff... id like to master that and collect the important stuff for the guild. would it be smart to walk that back as it could get raided ?
i saw guilds that said they plan on controlling the caravans
desert ivy
Well if you die you still lose a percentage of the gartherables
Even if you're not using a mule/caravan
So if you die/get pk'd on the way back then you'll lose some regardless
sleek stratus
but as an assassin id probably be more safe than a mule
desert ivy
You also won't be able to carry as much mats is the point tho
sleek stratus
hmmm ok just sounds rly weird to me having to hope ur loot gets back
is there punishment for raiding mules ?
desert ivy
Not really other than you dying while trying to attack one

ah i can lvl my mule and make it strong or what ?

Yes, there will be SEA server(s). The game also will not have region lock.

ruby swift
yes
grim breach
And vice versa
stable plover
Which means If you are in NA you can play in SEA server?
yes, that should be possible - The only general exception are for places with harmonized pricing, paying for that server only allows you to play there (For example a potential Brazil server, someone from Brazil could still choose to play on the US servers, but they'd have to pay more)
thorn palm
I would imagine bows/magic have a greater reach than swords
spark cove
Do Quebec (french canadians) will get they own server? We are a minority in NA
steady ocean
Being a minority is not what determines if an area/region gets a server. It depends if there is a consistent player base that would be able to support the cost of a server, among other things.
That being said, if you would prefer a French speaking community, you are not limited to a NA server, and you would be able to play on a French server if one is hosted near France or other areas.
Otherwise try to build up a community and choose a local server and let it be your "unofficial" French Canadian server.

Character progression is tied to servers. A good thing since it encourages a server to do x content to unlock y.

Hello, so... I'm confused on how the store works regarding EU users.
EU Page is still linked to My.Games accounts (https://aocreation.com), which is different to the US Page and accounts (https://ashesofcreation.com).
EU Page doesn't have the cosmetic shop active / The current cosmetic shop is linked to US accounts.
Which could mean, that if I buy anything on the cosmetic shop now, it will be tied to an US account and it won't be transferred to EU servers whenever they will be available.
Has anyone from staff given any confirmation that current shop rewards will be transferable?
If I buy on the cosmetic store, play on the alpha 2, and all, whenever the game launch will I be able to choose EU or US servers ? Or because I played on alpha which is on US everything will be immediately linked to US?
Many doubts, sorry if some of them have already been answered but I couldn't find an exact answer to these.
ruby swift
Those were from when the game was still going to be published by My.Games in EU. Those plans are no longer going to happen. Instead Intrepid will self-publish in the EU. If you want to purchase a package currently, you can do so through the Intrepid site. Be aware that the prices do not reflect VAT added by your country and are added on at time of purchase. There will be an EU storefront at sometime in the future, but since there is no region locking, it does not matter where you purchase your package currently for later.
The account transfer of EU accounts from My.Games is still ongoing as far as I know. Once you see @plucky pawn come online you could probably ask her where they have detailed that process more.

Thanks @ruby swift. The account I created for EU a long time ago doesn't have anything bought, so I created a new one for US.

Hi there friend! Which particular pack did you buy about a year ago?
steady ocean
Can u only reserve one name ?
You get 1 name reservation token to use at your discretion for a particular server if you bought the appropriate pack.
Intrepid Studios is based in the PST/PDT timezone, if that is what you are asking (11:58 AM PST)
That references monthly subscription time
In your image there, that would be 2 months of subscription time. And no, not premium. In order to play the game, there is a subscription fee. This is because there is no box cost, no cost for DLCs, expanisons, etc. Everything is included in monthly the subscription fee.

They'll probably have a better idea closer to Alpha 1 or after 1. I think it depends how the first alpha goes. That's how it usually works.

turbid nacelle
i saw some quote about the different types of magic. can i actually specialise in one or do i have to be an elementalist? i really dislike fire magic and much prefer ice.
desert ivy
You can augment abilities to a specific element. For example, if you go Mage/Mage, you'll be able to put Mage augments on your abilities, for example, Fire, Ice, Lightning, Teleportation (not official augments)
So it will depend on what you go for your secondary what "type" your spells will be
turbid nacelle
does that mean i can?
desert ivy
Yeah if you want
turbid nacelle
that's good to know
desert ivy
Doesn't mean it will be a viable choice though, but you can
turbid nacelle
it could be viable though and that's what matters haha
i really hate fire. it's honestly milked so much and ice paticularly is always made the crap support element
there are a lot of class combinations which sound great but i really just want to main a frost mage that isn't completely trash
so few games actually cater to that
but just about every damn mmorpg game caters to being a fire mage

snow pike
First impressions are important.
pseudo raven
Many ppl like to ignore the work in progress tag, so if there are any major issues they want them sorted before the public sees
This is pretty early for a game to show content you know, comparatively
thorn palm
But, according to the above link, they're still gonna lift the NDA while it's in alpha....
pseudo raven
Yeah? That's why I said major issues
thorn palm
and they've shown stuff during livestreams
pseudo raven
A texture popping in or bugging is rather different to servers crashing
For example
thorn palm
both those problems sound like AAA games that launch now
pseudo raven
Yeah well, if you think about it you'd likely do the exact same in their shoes
thorn palm
I'd have thought lifting NDA and letting people talk about the game would be a good thing
snow pike
There's no need to rush that, it could be detrimental for the game if handled badly.
Not all publicity is good publicity.
vapid walrus
It can be good and bad

Cosmetics, keys, gametime and ingame currency for the future cosmetic store aswell
arctic swift
Parts of the cosmetic set might be used again in the game for both npc and players but with color modifications and such and never the full thing

I really like that idea btw.. Imagine you've bought a custom item set and then you go somewhere in the world where NPCs are dressed just like you. That'll be almost like coming home.

vapid walrus
They mentioned they might make it so you are able to create your character on the website

That would be badass.
vapid walrus
I think they did
desert ivy
My assumption is that they'll just let anyone who has a subscription before launch make a character tbh
ruby swift
Also, sliders have only been confirmed for Tulnar customization. There are options that you can select. Otherwise the extra character customization options that were sold as part of KS do not make sense.
vapid walrus
they mentions boob sliders it would be weird if that was the only slider option
thorn palm
As a person who plays primarily male characters, I would love a slider for my characters boobs. Though isn't everyone gonna make tiny characters so they have a smaller hitbox?

That doesn't mention sliders, unless I missed it. They were talking about potential addons for the website in that section, not the final in-game character creator. As far as I know the only detail that was discussed regarding the in-game character creator is when Steven mentioned he'd like it to be "like BDO's but even better", and since BDO's uses sliders it's possible Ashes' will as well if it's their inspiration but that's not really confirmed

Tab target is basically homing-missile type of spells, target someone and your abilities automatically hit them.
Action you have to actually aim your skills and people can dodge/move out of them

typically in action combat you can auto attack without target, with tab targetting you can't cause you need a target

And does tab targeting have anything to do with the tab button on your keyboard?

Multi-boxing will be difficult as there is no "Follow" option and as such, you would need to control each account manually in terms of positioning. The devs have also said you are allowed to multi-box, but you cannot use mulitple clients from the same computer

If you pay the standard $15 you are not region locked, so you could have 1 character on the server that your friend is on, and a character on a different server. This would limit you in some ways.

Make sure they are sending out recruiting messages and are active. It lets the mod/dev team see that as the SEA active player base grows then there may be need to make a channel to support it. That depends on those of you in the SEA region though.

Do all freeholds require a designated social area? I am considering purchasing the Solemn Promenade but I need to know what buildings I could use this skin on (or my husband will kill me...I kind of have spent a fair amount of money on cosmetics because they just look so good).

so quick question bout "corrupted" pvp, if a red has a flying mount and is killed, is it possible to drop that mount for others to use?
desert ivy
No, mounts aren't droppable
thorn palm
and is it only leadership that can fly them otherwise? or is it every citizen of that node?
desert ivy
5 Castle Monarchs
5 Metropolis Mayors
Then a small amount that come from eggs dropped from legendary world bosses (which also have a death timer)
Don't need to be a Castle/Metro leader to ride the ones from the legendary eggs
thorn palm
I take it the reason they're so limited in numbers is to force pvp and not be able to just fly over it?
desert ivy
That's one of the reasons
Then there's also the fact that they want some stuff in the game to be exclusive and rare, not something that everyone gets
But even the flying mounts from Metro/Castle Leaders have a limit since they can only fly for 30 minutes at once. Once the 30 mins expire, you need to go back to a Royal Stable to take flight again
near stump
They want distance to have meaning in the game. Traveling long distances will take risk but also grant good rewards as the value of a common item where you are may be much much greater in a different geographic location
That's just one example of the impact slower long distance travel will have on the game
fair dirge
Solemn Promenade，Is it furniture or architecture

are the flying mounts recharged at any royal stable or is it home base only?

was the concern about monster coin being available in cash shop already answered...
To quote Steven himself,
"We are very well aware that systems if they can be gamed they will be gamed and we're making sure to develop the monster coin system so that there is no potential for gaming there."
The system will (hopefully) be thoroughly tested during the testing phases once implemented. Any possibilities of gaming can be found during those periods.
To answer the concerns, the Monster Coin system will be implemented with the following caveats:
1. Events do not occur before or during sieges.
2. Citizens of a Node are not eligible to control monsters attacking that node.
4. Two different monster coins can not be used on the same monster player during the same event.
3. Players are not the ones who will initiate the Monster Coin events. They will be random and triggered by the system due to activities in the server.
Note that this is not a complete list of the conditions. There are more but these conditions are there to address the concerns you may have.
