Any news about the account migration from mygames.com to ashesofcreation.com ? A friend of mine is wondering because the announcement was made in August 2020

I presume that shown skill trees are incomplete as it's only A1

Why is Reddit so angry about the A1 offer? A ton of people were asking to be able to buy it again and I would much rather have over-priced cosmetics/events vs some third party corporate rat ruining the game

Are rogues going to be focused on quick, single-target disposal? Or will they be more like a fighter but with more mobility and damage? I would like to fulfill the role of the classic assassin who can generally only handle one, maybe two targets and bad against groups.
Follow-up/last question, if that’s the case will they have a higher skill cap? Such as utilizing properly timed counters/I-frames or something that could denote who is a skilled rogue and who is just average?
slim robin
i didnt see anything like i-frames in aoc and i dubt theyll add some but i totally think that rogues will have a tons of defensive/evasive/ agersive cooldowns to engage varius fighters and escape if there is too much trouble!

Is it just me or does processing lack the RNG burst of income that the other 2 artisanships have? Being for example : getting a rare gem for crafting and getting a rare recipe from a boss for crafting.
Seems like a more monotonous way of making your money

(Repost) I'm curious, after watching the most recent dev update, what kind of npc interactions there will be in hostile areas (i.e bears hunting or hibernating or tigers stalking prey as the tigress' tend to the cubs). It would be very interesting to see enemies actually doing things they would do rather than simply standing around and idling about lying in wait for the slaughter. I understand that some mobs would need to be implemented this, obviously, but it would be very interesting to see something like this being an implementation...

Will anything be done to limit the influence of MMO streamers on servers once the game comes out?

If streamers want to go to a server and you don't want to have to deal with them, then just go to a different server

Maybe a more relevant question would be wether streamer specific rules will be present across all servers like punishing people for streamsniping etc.

Might be a good livestream question. They have addressed not penalizing people for success. But that was in relation to guild activities. Maybe they just are not worried about a small niche of streamers and their impact.

What are the biggest EU MMO streamers, I only know the american ones
reef osprey
if someone broadcasts their ingame location tonthe world, than thats on them
@grizzled hatch i dont think there are many that exceed 1k viewers
just some in local languages, barely any english ones
carmine ferry
yeah but it is not that simple, game needs streamers and streamers rage when they die, especially if someone is snipes thwm.
so games will often ban or otherwise punish people if there is provable streamsniping going on.

I think I remember hearing this question asked on a Q&A, but can’t remember the answer. If 3 groups tag a boss and none of them reach the 40% or 60% of damage required to loot, how is loot determined?
dark jungle
!wiki loot tagging
tender hearthBOT
near stump
I just read that. Does it explain that answer? I didn’t see it
So if no one reaches the 40% or 60% damage, then no one gains loot?
dark jungle
there must be a winner, if everyone has <40% then the rules will default to the first tag
near stump
Even if the first tag was 1%?
dark jungle
the way i interpret the rules is you have to be 20% higher to beat the first tag
near stump
Interesting. I like either that interpretation or you need 50% more damage than the first tag if there are a large number of groups tagging it
Thank you!
Has it been stated if there is a timer for claiming loot from a mob before if either A) despawns, or B) becomes available for others to loot?

Halo! Can someome answer a doubt ive got 😋
So i see if you buy the game now it comes in a pack that changes every month right?
In some of the packs I see there's flying mounts skins. Are those skins only available for people who have acces to flying mounts or does buying that skin give you access to a flying mount? Thanks!
grim breach
Only available for people who have access to flying mounts.
You will need the mounts of equivalent type and tier to apply the skins on them.
minor iron
Ah so if you buy a pack with flying mount skin ans you don't have access to it then it's equivalent to not having it at all?
grim breach
Pretty much, yes. EDIT: You do have the skins, you just need the mount to apply it on. However, there are skins that are hybrid in a way that it's usable on Tier 2 as well as Tier 3 mounts. (Tier 3 = Flying mounts)
All of the "mounts" in the shop are skins.
minor iron
Ah I see that makes sense! So these packs they offer are they gone forever once they finish or are you still able to get those skins at some other point?
grim breach
The cosmetic packs are changed every month and they are exclusive to the time period they are on sale. Which means you won't be able to get them anymore in the future once the pack is changed.
minor iron
Could you explain to me how the houses you can get in them work?
As far as i know theres 3 types of player housing right?
ruby swift
!wiki player housing
tender hearthBOT
minor iron
So are those skins for freehold housing?
grim breach
If you're referring to those Freehold cosmetics items you get in the cosmetic pack, we have no idea yet. We're still waiting for them to clarify what the Freehold cosmetics items are. (Building types, etc.)
ruby swift
Yes, they are for freeholds. Not in node housing or apartments
minor iron
Ah I see, so I am guessing I would need to first be able to build a freehold house for me to have access to the skin right?
ruby swift
Yes
minor iron
As in freehold housing will be the most expensive/hardest to achieve?
ruby swift
We have no idea on the cost of housing and how much it will take to place down a plot in a node initially.
dire pond
Metropolis mansion are the hardest
minor iron
Are there any benefits to getting the game now in contrast to getting it closer to release? Aside from cosmetics I guess
As in is there any info on the pricing for when the game comes out compared to what it is now?
minor iron
Right so if I get it now what I am basically paying for is cosmetics and access to the alphas/betas right?
ruby swift
And future cash shop currency, possible name reservation, sub time at launch, and others.
viral torrent
If you have free time and love testing and being a vital part of the game's development then I guess getting into alpha is for you.
ruby swift
It will not be a "game" that you play for several months at least.
viral torrent
That is also correct
minor iron
Is there a roadmap for when next alpha/betas are scheduled to release?
viral torrent
For people with no alpha testing experience it can be frustrating
minor iron
Yeah no it'd just treat alpha/beta as a wat to gauge how the game progresses and test new features they add
ruby swift
If you are on the fence about spending money, wait. There will be plenty of people streaming it once the NDA comes off it.
minor iron
Maybe it would be smart for phase 2 and see more about the game when NDA goes up
Yeah exactly
Is there any specific pack you would suggest getting?
viral torrent
depends on the test you want to participate in
the testing phase
And the money you want to spend
ruby swift
You choose the pack that has cosmetics that you like. Because unless you are in the grips of FOMO there is no real reason not to wait.
And realize the level of your package allows you to purchase following months at your tier or lower a la carte.
minor iron
Regarding the housing skins, will they be available in-game are is the only way to get them through pack rewards and skin shop?
Wait could you explain the following months at your tier thing?
ruby swift
The ones in the packages are one and done. Once they cycle off the store, they won't be available again.
minor iron
Ah so if you dont get the pack with the housing skin you wont be able to get house skins in the future from the skin-shop?
ruby swift
We know that various cosmetics will also be earnable in game that will be on par (subjective) to those offered in the store. Whether there are housing skins has not been specifically mentioned, though I can't see why there would not be for certain achievements and activities.
The above graphic applies to pre-launch packages. How the cosmetic store will function after "live launch" remains to be clarified.
minor iron
My guess is I won't have access to the skins I get with the pack when I start the game though right? As I will require mount/housing/pet/etc. in order to use them?
ruby swift
You gain a mount fairly early on in the starter area. Pets are usable from level 1 (the cosmetic ones). Housing requires a level 3 node and other things like the money to buy one, so not at start, but soonish.
viral torrent
You are getting the skins for them so you would need you have a mount to apply a skin
(same goes for all the items)
minor iron
Right I see, is it known how default freehold houses will look without the skins or does it vary deoending on region/node wherr you place them?
ruby swift
It has been stated but I can't remember if it is under NDA. Will defer to the Bird.
viral torrent
viral torrent
I am not quite sure either

Freehold building architecture is based on the blueprint for the building.[21]
Cosmetics can also be applied to a blueprint based on the type of building.[21]
Players are not locked into any particular race for freehold blueprints.[22]
minor iron
Will next month also have a pack with cosmetics like the one for this month or will it be different packs/more expensive when NDA is lifted?
ruby swift
They have said that any package changes will come with plenty of notice. That being said, they have announced the intention to reopen A1 access sales next month. Those details will most likely change the pricepoints and internal makeup of rewards on the packages. The base cosmetic types will remain the same.
minor iron
Is there a rough plan or roadmap for releases beyond A1?
ruby swift
No, Intrepid no longer gives long term roadmaps, because people are childish and lose their shit when dates move. So now they only give dates they are reasonably certain of hitting.
minor iron
Right, makes sense
Do they announce the new cosemtic packs for each month before the current one expires so you can decide whether to get the current one one wait for the next one?

There is usually a theme leak in the week before. And they usually put the next package announcement up a day before. If you check #news the previous cosmetic announcement always has the next swapover date and time in it.

@ruby swift i really like this months but its probably wiser to wait for NDA to be lifted. Besides it makes logical sense to put out even better packs in the future as their quaity and vision for the game improves

What you can do is wait around till you see Toast on Monday here and maybe she will take pity on you and get the CS people to push you up the queue since it is financial vs some of the "How do I node?" support tickets they get.

brittle abyss
Its like, at least 3 of the previous ones i'd really want
but if i can only get 1 its kinda.. impossible to choose just 1
tulip hatch
Once cosmetics leave the shop they do not return
You can however buy future cosmetics individually that are equivalent or below the tier you own
brittle abyss
So i just purchase lowest tier and upgrade each time? 
tulip hatch
Thats an option I suppose
If you only like the accessory then you can just buy that tier if the next set you only like the pet then upgrade once again
But no once you own a package you can purchase future cosmetics by themselves as long as they are the same type as the ones you have in your current package
brittle abyss
Kinda cheaper to just upgrade package no?
tulip hatch
So if you bought the second tier package you can only purchase pet and mounts
brittle abyss
tulip hatch
You can see the price of the cosmetics on the image i posted
oak loom
@brittle abyss
advantage: spreads cost out over time.
Disadvantage: wont have a co.plete set of cosmetics unless you buy the last ones individually.
tulip hatch
you must own a package to buy future cosmetics by themselves
You can only purchase the cosmetics that are equal to your tier package or below it
brittle abyss
Ah
oak loom
When you upgrade, you only get the cosmetic for the item types not included in the lower tier.
tulip hatch
If you look at the image it has circles under the packages
those represent the types of cosmetics included in that package
so the first package which has a green dot can only purchase future accessories
if you want all cosmetics youll need the highest tier package
brittle abyss
When is alpha two "set"? Cause i don't really want to miss out on such an opportunity
tulip hatch
Alpha 2 has no ETA
We are still very early into Alpha 1 so we wont have A2 dates just yet
covert fiber
There is speculation that it will be in 2022 however only steven and the team can know for sure
tulip hatch
Alpha2 dates will be determined by how well A1 testing progresses and how smoothly development goes
We do not speculate here we can only give you the facts
There is no official ETA for Alpha 2
tulip hatch
A2 sales will remain for a long while, Intrepid will provide plenty of notice before A2 access is removed from the Shop
brittle abyss
Is there a risk of alpha 2 access can be revoked from the package tho
like A1
from newly purchases by that
tulip hatch
Like I stated, if they remove it, it will be announced with plenty of notice beforehand so folks can purchase them before access is removed
brittle abyss
Ah okay
tulip hatch
You still have plenty of time
brittle abyss
Probably was written in that news but forgot

The question is asked here often
but A2 sales will continue until we are told otherwsie

No official date.

Cosmetics are not really my go to? I just want to be part of the first boots on the ground kind of deal. As I really love the way this game looks to be turning into.
Sadly I still got to pay for all that and just can't pay for Alpha Access only.

Yeah, but they are included so you might as well pick out something you like, if that makes sense.

I understand how raids will work. IE depending on which nodes progress means that raid becomes available. I am wondering if the raids will have drops for all the classes? Or will each raid only have drops for certain classes? As in it would suck if I play an unpopular class and the raid I need doesn't ever come up because the node next to it provides a better raid for the masses.

@errant cloud also remember there will be gatherers needed in the raids to harvest materials for the crafters to use to make gear. So you can have it custom to your needs
naive sable
What games would you guys suggest to prepare for AoC?
errant cloud
Nice ^^
near stump
@naive sable That depends on what interests you the most about AoC. If it is PvP, pick a PvP game, if it's RP, pick a game with a large RP community or DnD
But no game is like AoC, so there isn't one game that fits everything
naive sable
I think PvE stuff doesn't need a lot of preparation
So what is a good PvP game with the same system as AoC
desert ivy
Same system as AoC? There isn't really one unless you want to go and play Lineage 2 
naive sable
Well doesn't WoW have the same PvP system
desert ivy
No
naive sable
how
desert ivy
Well, WoW is opt-in PvP in the open-world, Ashes is everyone is always on PvP. WoW doesn't have any open-world PvP features, Ashes has a lot. Ashes has the corruption system, WoW has nothing similar to the corruption system as it doesn't need it with opt-in PvP.
WoW is not comparable at all to Ashes
Wow is a PvE Themepark game, Ashes is a PvX Themebox/Sandpark game
naive sable
What would you suggest then
desert ivy
I mean, if you want something that's recent that Steven takes a lot of inspiration from, then ArcheAge. But ArcheAge is really really bad nowadays because of either terrible developer decisions, terrible publisher decisions, or rampant exploits
So, you're fucked if you want something relatively similar to Ashes atm
Otherwise I'd be playing it right now
naive sable
is pvp gonna be the same as apocolypse
naive sable
ok

I figured/hope it will be done by 2023 hence trying to get my fix with Alpha and Beta to carry me over till then

Do we know about sailing mechanics? Steven said they would be in depth but I want to know if they plan for wind as an example
short flint
Sailing mechanics has not yet been released.
topaz minnow
Are there going to be mechanics in place to prevent siege fail abuse?
ie. Let's say the Mayor of a Metropolis has a group of friends who will siege the Mayor's Node with full intent of failing the siege, thus forcing the Metropolis Node onto a 50-day cooldown. Rinse and repeat off cooldown and no one else has any real chance to siege that Node.
desert ivy
Anyone can register to attack or defend a node during a node siege, you don't have to get anyones permission
surreal elk
@topaz minnow this was discussed on stream a few times, we were told to declare a siege even on smaller nodes it would be a huge investment on said players. They are also opening themselves to be attacked by anyone when the siege is declared. So in regards they have done the heavy work for others to destroy. So far the devs are happy with that process further testing etc maybe required.
desert ivy
Yeah, declaring a siege isn't free, it costs a ton of resources and it costs even more resources the higher level the node that you're declaring against is
ocean rampart
Has there been a number released on how many characters you'll be able to make per account?

Does Animal Handling count as a crafting profession meaning you can only progress so far in it if you max out a different profession?
desert ivy
Animal Husbandry is a processing profession. You can only max a few professions within 1 "tree" (Tree being Gathering, Processing, and Crafting). So if you decide to master Animal Husbandry, you can't then decide to master Taming because Taming is in the Gathering tree
So if you mastered Animal Husbandry, you could also potentially master Smelting as Smelting is also a Processing profession
fathom shell
So just popping in here for a quick question that i know has prob already been asked a gazillion times. But with the Alpha being pushed back what time frame does that put it in for release? i know they said two month delay, but i was tracking the dates prior unfortunately. Please and thank for to anyone with the patience to answer me.

There is no release date, not even a potential year of release so we don't know how or if it would affect the release

Is the plan for seasons to still only be 1 week long? Why so short?
desert ivy
Because it hasn't went through testing yet 
minor iron
Regarding freehold skins, are they how your freehold houee will look or are they seperate building that you can place in your freehold estate? Cause i've noticed some of them arent houses and instead are colliseums and small bakeries, etc.
So i am a bit confused as to how exactly they work and what you get when you buy a pack that includes one
tranquil willow
Yes, there will be many different types of buildings for Freeholds. Different skins apply to different buildings

We don't know that yet, they are still working on those buildings

is there going to be any form of region locking in the game? im asking as im in the UK but plan on playing on the US servers if possible

there may be some regions that have local harmonized sub prices, in which case the region will be segregated

Hey all, I've been reading up on AoC a lot recently - and am extremely excited to see the progress. I fully acknowledge we are in development and will support the process. That said, I had a quick question:
Will the in-game shop have things like inventory upgrades (i.e. softcore pay to win, like GW2)?
This is my only real concern, otherwise the progress so far looks awesome!
desert ivy
No
Only stuff available on cash shop is Cosmetics, Steven thinks inventory upgrades and stuff fall under P2W
errant cloud
Cosmetics are not armor correct? More they change your appearance and thats it? It not a suit you put on like BDO?

Monster Coins are the things that let you turn into a monster in sieges?
desert ivy
!wiki monster coins
tender hearthBOT
steady ocean
They are not sieges in the sense that they can destroy a node (they can't). They can disable some buildings/services if not dealt with but not much long lasting impact.
errant cloud
Hmm I can see that going 2 ways. People buy op monsters, or not. I think its should be in game money if need be or maybe participating in the event as a defender gives you the coin if you succeed to become the monster next round
stone prawn
Agreed, I hope they aren't on the shop. If they are, maybe they could only be used during an event (which requires in game activity to spawn)
So the NDA drops in May? Can't wait to learn more!!!! :)

for the otter mount, i see there's otters in the game too so wont someone with animal husbandry be able to convert one in to a pet?
so does that mean that if i got this months frog mount it'd be a bit of a waste as i could be able to get it in the game for free as an animal husbander or even buy it from one?
Right, wont they be pretty much identical though. As in what can change? colour and size?
plucky tendon
Just a cosmetic difference then, which is great to see. People aren't paying for a faster mount or one that can jump higher and all that jazz, is that right?
desert ivy
There has been horse skins sold in the store before, doesn't mean there won't be horses in game

have they shown any images of any freehold skins in games?
ive only been able to see the basic one
right
errant cloud
Thank you for the video Jahlon, I only have 1 question now.
I understand how upgrading works so that's no an issue. What I am wondering is, it looked like when you upgraded or bought a cosmetic. If you already had that cosmetic item you wouldn't get it. Say I had a mount cosmetic from 3 months ago but wanted this months one. I tried to get it and it would cancel out? Or do it come down to me choosing which one I want to keep. As I understand if you can only have 1 of each pre-order cosmetic to keep them unique.
Good, I was afraid of that as at 5:40 it made it sound like I wouldn't get that item but now that makes sense. Thank you now I don't have to worry about not getting a pack I want.

If I'm level 20 and i open a chest/loot box/drop loot will i randomly get a level 50 item for no reason or are the areas chest/loot box/drops i open be around the level i am, I've noticed a few mmorpgs will give u very high level item/gear that take up storage space and it's not usable for a very long time and sometimes turns out to be kinda useless low tier high level item worth very little

I do not think that their design decision is to give level 20 areas the chance to drop level 50 loot.
The level 20 area though can be a spawn point for materials to craft level 50 loot.

BDO combat dont exactly exist, its first come first serve on stun. And thats for 1v1s, group is pure mass, and spamming 2 specific classes.
I really hope they don't follow that example for pvp... there is room for improvement and making it better.

I enjoyed bdo combat

I did not mean PvP of bdo in meaning stuns/controls and ofc desyncs.. rather I had in mind combat = feeling of combos with shortcuts, precise animations (flows), good effects 🙂 .

at the point there are more than one server to choose from, will the servers announce their "prime time" for node siege events and/or other public events... or will it be determined by peak play time, etc?

heavy silo
The houses and establishments that we can rent, will they be housed or will they be in x plots of the open world?
pseudo vapor
@heavy silo https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Player_housing
It depends on which type of housing you are referring to. Apartments are able to be made by the mayor and are instanced in node housing. Houses can be purchased by citizens of a node and exist in certain levels of the node in predetermined locations. Freeholds are placed in custom locations by the player a certain distance away from the PoI.
heavy silo
I mean that if, for example, I want to dedicate myself to the blacksmithing of armor, the other players could visit me at my house directly at its door to talk about business, are the places and the place that these houses occupy are unique and cannot have another in this?
onyx knoll
For the freehold and in-node housing yes, for apartments you could have multiple at the same spot
pseudo vapor
Xenellia hit the nail on the head. If you are looking to have a spot to be a realm renowned blacksmith you'll want in node housing or the freehold. I would recommend looking into the freehold info from the wiki link above. I think it will be exactly what you are looking for.
marsh mist
In-node houses can be used for "professionnal activities" ? Like we can put crafting stations etc in the house ? I though it had to be in a freehold.
pseudo vapor
There will be furniture with certain functions that you can have for use in the in-node housing. I'm not sure if the extent of which has been really expanded upon too much. The Freeholds however have been confirmed for use with crafting.
marsh mist
Ok so if you want to be a blacksmith with all the forge etc, you need a freehold
Thanks 🙂
pseudo vapor
The Freehold would be the best option for a player owned solution. There will likely be non-player owned crafting stations in other places for use. So you could theoretically you could go to a crafting area of a city instead.

I'm a lil bit confused on the Referral Rewards Program so when you refer a friend or someone the only rewards you get is if they buy stuff from the store you get 15% value of currency they buy. And this is what it says on the wiki. "Players who refer and invite new players can receive 15% of their account purchases back as Intrepid Bucks". So is that all you get is there anything else you get like a ladder of rewards after inviting so many players to get cosmetics or something?

How many freeholds will there be to a node?
We don't have an exact number - we could math up a guesstimate though. The game world is 480sqkm Which is 118610 Acres, freeholds are 1/2 an acre, There are 103 normal nodes, 15 castle nodes, 5 castles, and 5 starting zones (lets assume those are all about the same size) for 128 subdivisions of the world (accidentally hit enter too soon)
errant cloud
So there will be a good amount and not a be a race for them?
stable plover
118610 Acres / 128 = 926.6 lets round to 926.5 / .5 = 1853 freeholds per node if 100% of the land was taken up by perfectly placed freeholds - Then it's a wild guess as to what % of the land can be freeholds say 10% and we get about 185 freeholds per node - Not counting if the node ZOI has taken over another potential nodes area.
stable plover
So there will be a good amount and not a be a race for them?
There will probably be a race for them, but it's not a winner take all race since more freehold plots will open over time / they can be sold (if someone is speculating a node will be destroyed say)

Got yah, was just worried I might get a skin but never have chance to use it xD

did you guys decided where the asian server will be yet?
crystal beacon
I come by every now qnd then talking about the monthly cosmetic sets. I have another question for the mods here/ intrepid studio members.
You guys have these incredible monthly packages that qre really bad a looking. Was wondering if you guys have or are planning to do more RP related packages..?
Like a tavern bartender pack .. or a pirate set ( not sure if this exists yet ) maybe a blacksmith style monthly package. Or something casual like a farmers set. These are just random thoughts i had. Not sure if these have been done or not.
I know its not incredibly hype but would be cool
dire pond
Shouldnt those be acquierd by mastering that profession in the game and receive unique cosmetic for lets say a forge cosmetic for a master blacksmith?
crystal beacon
There could definitely be cosmetics for mastering your trade yes .. just like how you level up you unlock high tier armor that might look better than the cosmetic package you bought .. i see no difference be it a blacksmith cosmetic vs a battle cosmetic
fair dirge

errant cloud
There may be a pirate cosmetic montly set as it seems each one has a theme. Though it be hard to narrow it down to just 'Black smith' 'Bartender' etc. As I imagine those will be gained in both crafting and probably in game cosmetics. As try to imagine a bartender pet or such its kinda hard for that narrow point. Outfit yet but not much else if that makes sense? Meanwhile pirate theme is a broad one. Hust be hopeful and frankly, I love the artistic variety and freedoms the cosmetics have.
@crystal beacon

dire pond
No, cosmetic are like a closet that you equip amd unequip your cosmetic at ease
grim breach
They're account bound and available for you to equip on any one of your characters. To equip on another character, you have to unequip it on the current character. If you delete all your characters, it's safe to assume it will be automatically unequipped and be put back into your account inventory (the closet that Friendlyneighbour talked about).

are all the mounts offered through the monthly packs achievable in-game? Or well not the exact same but a variant (similar model, different colours, etc.)
steady ocean
are all the mounts offered through the monthly packs achievable in-game? Or well...
Monthly packs give cosmetics, not actual mounts
They are skins you put on mounts that you can get in game
minor iron
Ah so if I get this months frog mount I would still need to get the frog mount in-game to apply it?
I though you just needed a basic mount, say a horse and then you could apply any skin to it (a frog, a fox, etc.)
steady ocean
You would need to get any tier 1 (ground) mount if the skin is for a tier 1
steady ocean
I though you just needed a basic mount, say a horse and then you could apply any...
correct
minor iron
right what I mean though is say the tidebreaker mount, from what I hear you'll be able to tame and get mounts through the animal husbandry job right?
So wont you be able to get the tidebreaker mount in-game also and not just from the monthly pack where it was offered?
steady ocean
You will most likely be able to get an otter mount, but it won't look the same as the tidebreaker skin
It'll be its own thing (although the base otter model will be there)
minor iron
right thats what i thought, and will it be the same for all other mounts in the packs, where youll be able to get them in-game but not the specific skin offered for the pack? Or is that only the case for the otter?
steady ocean
Should be the general rule for any cosmetic skin you see. You'll likely be able to see a base model in the game.
Just don't expect it to look as fancy, as a lot of the fancy mounts will come from breeding/taming unique creatures (speculation on my part)
minor iron
Cool, cool. I love the idea of not being able to get skins through the shop but merely colour variants of skins you already have. That's one thing I was afraid of, making it so cosmetics have no value as they can be simply bought with real money
steady ocean
Cool, cool. I love the idea of not being able to get skins through the shop but ...
The creatures that you can tame in game will be actual mounts, not cosmetics. Although, there may be ways to earn in-game mount cosmetics (possibly through the monster coin system).
Also, Steven has mentioned that the things you can achieve in game will be on par or (subjectively) better than any of the cash shop cosmetics.
minor iron
What do you mean on par to the cosmetic shop. Wont the cosmetic shop only sell recolours of mounts you already have? So how could shop skins be (subjectively) better if they only alter colour, its not like you can get a basic level 1 mount (horse for example) and then buy a skin for the mount that turns it into a frog right?
steady ocean
What do you mean on par to the cosmetic shop. Wont the cosmetic shop only sell r...
The cosmetics are not recolours. They are entirely unique skins. And re-read my comment. I said the "in-game achieveable" stuff is subjectively better than the cash cosmetics.
And yes, you can get purchase a tier 1 mount from someone in game, and apply a frog skin to it and it acts as if it is an actual frog mount with its animations and such, if that was your question.
minor iron
Ah right I see, so you will be able to get unique skins from the cash-shop then
steady ocean
Ah right I see, so you will be able to get unique skins from the cash-shop then
Right. There may be "unique" creatures you can find in-game also that are rare that can be just as "cool" as well. They will just not be a cosmetic but an actual mount
minor iron
right, so can you just achieve the basic horse mount in-game and then buy a skin that turns it into a dragon for example?
as long as the dragon is also a level 1 mount (land) i guess?
steady ocean
The idea is right, but skins go with the tier they are in. So tier 1 = ground mounts, tier 2 = gliding/jumping mounts, tier 3 = flying mounts
So tier 1 cosmetics go with tier 1 ground mounts, etc
minor iron
I see, that makes it so that cool mounts are not so unique and a symbol of you achieving something cool in-game to get it, as someone who just pays cash can get an equally cool mount doing nothing in-game
steady ocean
@minor iron I continued the discussion in #aoc-discussion if you would like to talk more as I think your question was answered
sinful panther
Is there system requirements available for the game rn?
steady ocean
minor iron
They said the system reqs will be similar to other games that use unreal engine 4
steady ocean
That will show you the recommend/basic requirements for Alpha testing @sinful panther
hasty apex
@minor iron only if you subjectively view it that way. But since there's going to be a ton of tamable mounts in the game, I think it would be way cooler to see someone with a tamable mount that's hard to tame than a cash shop mount
steady ocean
That will change as to what is required for the full game, but it gives you a look at what current testers are being recommended.
sinful panther
Thank you

Predominantly console player but looking at getting a new pc to play games like ...
I believe Steven uses a 1080Ti and manages to play in 4k
sinful panther
How would changing engine work like this far into development?
1080ti a bit old at this point so that’s good.
I think that was like 4 years ago
hasty apex
Sent it unreal engine to unreal engine I'm sure a lot of the core components are easily translatable, the only thing might just be polish and netcode stuff
minor iron
How will you know the difference though? @hasty apex if you see someone running around with a cool mount you dont know if they achieved it by working hard for it or simply by paying for it, makes it so that everyone who worked hard to earn it feels like it is less rewarding
steady ocean
How will you know the difference though? <@745537224828911629> if you see someon...
We have a full list of all shop cosmetics
Mount collectors will probably know, the average player may not.
sinful panther
Alright
minor iron
right thats the thing though, when you see someone with a cool mount and the only way for you to get one is through hard work it feels rewarding, if you can just go oh wow such a cool mount, but wait, you can also get one by paying money... idk, it makes it feel like less of an achievement, like it loses its value
hasty apex
@minor iron because the in-game tamable mounts are obviously not going to be available in the cash shop, so a mount that "looks cooler" might be in the cash shop, but you see someone on a mount that isn't in the cash shop, ask them where they got it, and find out it takes max taming to get, will be way cooler in my opinion
For example, in Archeage, you can buy tons of different mounts in the cash shop. That's the mount themselves with special abilities, not just skins, and even then it's wicked cool to see someone on a dragon from killing red dragon, or a hero dragon, or the mount that's faster than any cash shop mount you know they earned.
Now I think selling the mounts themselves, and not just skins, is a horrible idea
But the same principle exists
steady ocean
No, mounts will have a speed stat which can be influenced by breeding
hasty apex
It sounds like mounts are being tiered by their capabilities, ground only/gliding/flying for example, not based on speed. I would assume certain animals that you tame in the wild would have different speed stats, and I believe there was something about a breeding system for better stats as well
steady ocean
Cosmetics do not affect the speed of a mount, only the mount itself does.
Skins are purely superficial
hasty apex
Skins are just skins, cosmetic only
You could if you wanted to, or if you wanted to show off that you are a high-level breeder, and have amount that can only be obtained through high level breeding or something like that, you could do that
Personally I think it would be cooler to see someone with a high leveled horse that I knew that it took a bunch of breeding to get the stats right, rather than seeing a fast amount with a cosmetic over it and not knowing what the base mount was
steady ocean
probably a good topic for #aoc-discussion unless you have more questions 🙂
hasty apex
True, we just don't have enough info on tamable mounts yet to know if high proficiency tamable mounts will have comparable stats to high proficiency bred mounts
@steady ocean it's really just expanding on the question asked for more clarification. Doesn't make sense to break up the question and response to multiple channels

I don't think i ever got fully answered on this, but i wondered if players gave each other quests, like made quests for others and had to supply the rewards. Or is it just the mayors
dire pond
They are RP quests. But Guild Leaders can give reward to members.
minor iron
Regarding the free months that you get with the packs, are they auto used during the first say 6 months of when the game comes out or can you use them whenever you want/whenever you play. So use two, then take a break for a month and then use one and use the rest whenever
Or are they just autoredeemed and so used for first 6 months?
Right thats cool :)
Are the 250v250 battles only for guild v guild or are they also for when a node is attacked and everyone living on that node will act as a defender?
lost lantern
Im pretty sure its everyone who is part of the initial node and yeh theyre trying to reach 500v500 i believe
minor iron
When you say castles what do you mean?
As in i know nodes can go up to metropolis right?
So where do we get castles?
Is it like theres 3 castles around the world and guilds can take control of them?
And are they controled by guilds or by any group of players?
Right, so to participate in 250v250 id have to be part of a guild then right?
Will the battles take place in instances or are they taking place in the open world?
As in can someone walking around see the fight going on or does it occur in an instanced server where only those fighting can see each other
Right i see, and then theres node attacks right? Where if a node is attacked everyone in it will be a defender? But who is it that makes the decision to attack? One single person or the mayor of a nearby node or how does it work exactly?
lost lantern
I think i heard both parties have to declare
minor iron
Also is the attack on a node also similar to casttle siege as in theres a notice and attack can only accur during prime hours? So someone attacks and then next day they battle?
How do they attack then?
Would it not be laggy as hell though if there isnt a limit and 1000 ppl are fighting?
Will there be like open world bosses where everyone in the server needs to go fight it?
Like a 2000person fight against mobs and bosses or smthng
Thatd be epic if it were in the game
After all they said they wanna put massive back into mmo right?
