Ye, I just read about it. Which is kinda sad at the same time. I have a friend that lives in Canada and some others that live in Brasil, we wanted to play together but if that is true, I guess it will be necessary to pay in dolar or have them play on SA exclusive server not on a middle way server.
But nothing is perfect. We just have to accept and work around it

It's sad but I'd rather play the game at a reasonable price than not at all.

what we know of the naming can be found here: https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Character_naming

Will you add climbing to the game? Like Conan Exiles style climbing or similar games where you can climb walls and the like. Would make PvP and raiding super awesome

!wiki parkour
tender hearthBOT
desert ivy
Certain classes are able to climb/parkour in certain areas.[8][9]
Climbing/parkour ability is not free-form and will likely be restricted to certain quests, locations or objects.[10][11]
mint quail
That's sorta lame. It should 100% be freeform. Gives the game so much depth. Hopefully the game makes up for that in other areas though.
tranquil willow
Parkour is simply too little bang for buck
desert ivy
The problem is, people seemingly want Ashes to have absolutely everything but it doesn't have the budget to add everything everyone wants
Like it won't have much voice acting cause they don't have the money for it
Ashes has less money than most AAA MMOs do, yet it's trying to be more ambitious then most of them
mint quail
Do we know how many people have Ashes of Creation?
fringe imp
no one does I think

desert ivy
We don't know how many people have packs, but we know there have been over 3 million accounts created (last we heard)

Well, Ashes got 3.2 mil on Kickstarter. Add the amount of people that bought the packages, and it might have funding comparable to some AA or AAA companies for some of their games. I'm hoping it's good, but I really hope they add freeform climbing to the game. It adds so much depth to any game for my friends and I

The 375$ pack would cost I assume cost less in euros, right? around 322. Not 375 Euros right?
onyx knoll
That price doesn't include taxes/VAT, so if you convert it directly it is 322 Euros, but then you need to add what ever your VAT tax is in your country (in france for example that would be an added 20%, so the total would be around 386 euros)

can you talk trash in game?
can there bve some sort of mute implement between players who report people for trahs talking?
new world is banning people for talking trash in pvp
which is a lot of words
yeah and to an extent that should be okay, if someone is just nonstop spamming slurs or being overly aggressive.
but instead of a ban for certain things, a world mute to the player would be best imo.
I don't really ever get banned, but I don't believe just banning people for what they type is a great model.
that type of thinking doesn't make the banning right. even though I never get banned, I can still see what is okay, let the game be a game. so if someone wins an exchange and talks trash about winning and gets banned is too much. it's more forgiving and probably a better correction to mute someone and let them continue the game without communication vs banning them from playing.
their tos also pretty much gives lee way to ban someone if they don't agree with their IRL views if needed

There is a line. We are aware that trash talk can sometime devolve into harassments or worst. New World is being pretty sensitive about their in-game chat, which honestly isn't that shocking to me considering they are backed by a large company that might be hyper aware of the issues that can come out of online harassments, and it's their choice. Ashes will also have a line, and if you go over it you risk a ban. There is a limit to what you can say without consequences. I doubt you'll get banned for some pvp trash talking as long as you keep it to in-game achievement and not try to harass people for out of game things like race or gender
tall nova
Yeah. New World is getting out of control with their ban policies. And they refuse to provide people with evidence of what they said that allegedly violated their TOS. It seems like they're banning people for debating particular political ideologies, too. Even when the debate is civil.
Some people are being banned for no reason because the system is mostly automated. Only takes 12 reports for you to be banned automatically. Apparently, people were abusing this in order to get people on the opposing faction banned.
I understand they can ban people for no reason or can change their definition of what constitutes "abusive behavior" or "hateful ideology", even when it might not actually be abusive or hateful, reasonably speaking. And I am aware of what I agreed to with regard to TOS. That doesn't mean it is right. And it doesn't mean I can't speak out against it. Spankedyaa is asking questions to get an idea of how the Intrepid Studios company leadership defines these things and to get an idea of how reasonable they are with their TOS.

I know this might sound crazy, but if I put that in front of court, they wouldn't be able to defend that TOS. Need a clear line for all customers, not a:'I can ban you causs I don't like your face' policy. Period.
in the states maybe, not over here.
Since they offer their services elsewhere, they'll also have to adjust to local regulations. Valve had to change their TOS a few years ago as well in multiple European countries due to judges not agreeing with their vague terms๐ค
Nothing wrong with that, however, that was just a couple of services within games. They would never fully pull back out of Europe if the demands are reasonable. Since it's still a massive gaming market
Same happened with valve btw. The Netherlands, Belgium (and some other countries within the EU) banned lootboxes to due them causing gambling addictions (which had been known for years...). Now they allow online gambling, which in my opinion is just as dumb๐คฆโโ๏ธ

Most likely not, they want people to discover, not use rote guides for progression. But since any and all previous statements by them can change during development, put it in the unknown category.

Last info given is that there will not be an indication that way for completionists.

in a way some of the charm in a mmo is not experiencing content especially content you didn't know about. in my opinion it adds a sense of scale to a world when there are events in cities that are happening and you aren't involved because youre across the map. the world moving with or without you adds a lot to the feel of not being "the saviour of the planet"

So this is a question on Sanctus, when we start the game do we begin on Sanctus itself as we pass through the portals, or do we just begin on Verra in the different starting zones of the races? Additionally what is the topography of Sanctus like? I'm trying to write the history of my character's family but with so little available about Sanctus right now I'm having a bit of trouble.
desert ivy
We know basically nothing about Sanctus other than there's no magic there and each race were sent to their own areas of Sanctus when they were transported there. I also don't think we know whether we'll instantly spawn in Verra or we'll travel through a portal in Sanctus before ending in Verra when we start the game
Steven is keeping a large amount of the lore, especially in regards to Sanctus, under wraps as he doesn't want to spoil too much

So, I've been thinking about moving over to Linux (work reasons), but I know that Wine has some issues with Easy Anti Cheat, which is what Ashes uses/is going to use. Is there any way to bypass those issues or should I simply dual boot to play ashes on windows? If anyone has some insight on this I'd appreciate
stray crypt
as far as I understand the anticheat systems there is currently no work around for Linux ( I just did a dual boot myself) the research i did i found a lot of not possibles as my answer.

Hm, alright thanks. If anyone has found/finds anything about the issue I'd appreciate a heads up
Windows just kinda limits programming as a whole so that's an issue I'm having xd

desert ivy
Problem with them is it's fun and interesting the first few times, then when you've done it for 1000 times it begins to get straight annoying
woeful notch
i mean yeah but i think ff balanced it well where once you craft it once you can speed craft it and then you only need to use the crafting when youโre trying to make the high end gear or expert crafts
institute some level of skill to crafting
lofty maple
Idk I like how OSRS did it. Plenty of skills but lots of skills had multiple mini games you could do, not all were great for xp but gave cool rewards if you grinded it enough. I feel like no matter what a skill is going to feel like youโve done it a ton, but mini game skills break it up
woeful notch
of the 3 mmos iโve played ffxiv, gw2 and new world, ff is the best imo for both gathering and crafting and itโs because of the โmini gamesโ thatโs makes it so
along with needing crafting gear it made it feel like a unique class and something special to level and not just as simple as buying the mats off the market place and getting to max in 10minutes
lofty maple
Haha thatโs fair enough, as there were buyable skills in osrs through the GE
woeful notch
I donโt mind buyable like materials but i never really liked the mechanic, say what NW has where you can just spend a couple k gold and level crafter max and then be able to craft anything makes being a crafter less special

About the corruption system. If i am correct you start of as a non combatant (green) and when you get attacked and fight back you become a combatant (blue). Is there a way to get back to being a non combatant (green)? Or do you need to roll a new character? Because maybe you fight back while not meant to. Or if you decide to become a combatant but don't want to be anymore after a while (after getting ganked a lot for instance).

HOW does the DEV team plan to deal with MEGA guilds that just roll over everyone and everything and end up being the only guild on a server?
dire pond
By doing other server
They can not stop players from communicating to each other and zerging in the server, but that server will be known quickly for thay and people wont go on it, then the server may die with time and people mau try to remake it once the small members of the mega guild leave
lean current
design the game such that mega guilds are not worth it
dire pond
How would you do that?
300 is the max for a guild, nothing stop them from gathering 6 guild of 300 members each.
deep pawn
300x6 is 1800 people. Each server will have around 10k players
lean current
give great incentives to each of these 300 member guilds to start fighting against their former allys
dire pond
The incentive will be to acquier the patron position in a node. If the main guild of the mega guild has it, it will prevent the smaller guild of having, but those players may not be happy from that decision. So they may start a mutiny or something. We may see mega guilds in the first 6 months of launch, but that aint a strategy that can last long.
spiral pine
Guilds would probably rush for the castles first where they can have more control
dapper chasm
Jealousy and envy will do the trick.
AoC is limiting the mega guilds by limiting certain things like just 1 Guild out of ur mega guild/alliance will get the castle and its benefits...just 1 guild will be patreon...
by reducing the other benefits of the guild-skill tree by spending a lot of points into size than other good things. etc
dire pond
Its even more satisfying to see a mega guild lose vs the rest of the server

Through the various political and mechanical systems in our game, we believe that there will be many different systems in place that will prevent a mega guild from owning a server.
Various core systems such as how nodes spawn, despawn, and can be destroyed combined with other factors such as world events will naturally combat mega guilds from controlling a server.

opal vale
Also, One thing I have Noticed. I have seen Lots of Talk about a "Corruption" system, but, Not a Lot of Talk about What gives said corruption other than "Killing lower level PCs.", So, If I Understand correctly there is not a system in Place to Immediately Punish nor Discourage "Ganking" Players that are learning the Game or Those that Zerg rush areas and kill everyone that is Lower than themselves. (Again, I'm sure this has been discussed, but, I Missed it.) Will there be a Way to "Opt-Out" of Open World PvP for any amount of time?
fluid needle
killing any green player grants corruption. the amount gained is dependent on level disparage however.
killing someone of your level might give +3, killing a player 5 levels below will grant say +10. the threshold to become corrupt might be 9. so killing 3 players on your level will cause corruption as opposed to the 1 kill on a player 5 levels lower.
opal vale
Ahh, See, most of the PvPers that I have Run into Don't CARE about corruption, Bounties, nor even Censur from the Community. They Use it as a Badge of Pride. (Think Sword art online Guild "Laughing Coffin")
fluid needle
and there will be systems in place to stop people who do. the point of corruption is to make unfair ganking or excessive ganking risky but not outright stop the act.
if people think getting a high corruption is 'cool' then they will be struck down by the systems at play.

Sounds like someone was watching Jahlon's stream earlier ๐คฃ
crystal beacon
you think who asked those questions?
fickle copper
you think who asked those questions?
It's a good question! It's just all I heard on the stream for the last hour haha
crystal beacon
It all started from a simple question, and then cascaded down to a discussion of the definition of the word "procedural"
fickle copper
Yeah, it definitely got a bit too crazy
crystal beacon
It baffles me that he didn't even consider my arguments
fickle copper
I enjoy his streams as I learn a lot about AoC from them but sometimes he can come across a bit rude
He's going through some irl stuff atm so it's not personal to you at all

dense shoal
So any idea if the 15usd sub will be the same in all the regions? Will there be any other publishers?
desert ivy
Some regions will be harmonised like South America if they get a server so they'll pay less to play on their server but they won't be able to play on NA/EU/OCE without paying the regular $15 amount.
There's no other publishers planned atm
Originally EU/CIS was going to be published by my.games but that deal was stopped last August/September
So now Intrepid is self-publishing everywhere
dense shoal
I would just expect Russian communities to be a pretty big chunk of players, looking at comments and talk about it in Russian forums. The 15$ is a bit much for a country where the average pay is like 300$
desert ivy
Then if CIS gets their own servers then they'll probably get harmonised pricing
Otherwise they'll need to play on EU and pay the regular $15
dense shoal
Makes sense, how likely is that they will pass it to a publisher in those regions?
desert ivy
Again, they originally had a partnership with my.games to publish in EU/CIS, but that deal was cancelled last year for whatever reasons
But I don't think Intrepid would be able to self-publish in Russia or whatever so they would probably have to get a Russian publisher to do it for them
But atm only EU/NA/OCE/SEA servers are planned
dense shoal
I understand, I just like the direction and concerpts intrepid are putting in, and knowing Russian publishers they will absolutely destroy a game like this with p2w connect and such
desert ivy
The original deal with my.games was that Intrepid handles everything to do with the game, the only thing my.games did was customer support and giving Intrepid the legal ability to publish the game in EU/CIS
Steven made sure they had no power when it came to monetisation in the original deal
dense shoal
Probably that's why it failed kek
Learning from lineage where they basically used the event mechanics to award paying players, I just hope I could get the same experience as any other player
fluid needle
if you don't play the game during an event you won't get it's rewards but you will never be pressured to spend more money on mechanical benefits as intrepid is purely against p2w.
they might have a cosmetic you can buy with cash but it would only be a cosmetic.

Is there an AOC stream where they talk about other MMOs, New World, WoW, FF etc and talk about what they can learn from those?
desert ivy
Not really. They don't usually drop names when talking about other MMOs because it's seen as bad manners. People in the MMO community cried when Steven had his statement about NWs cash shop a few months ago because they saw it as "unprofessional".
tight gale
Monthly live stream not on youtube??
Stream crashed so we had to do some editing. It'll be posted on Monday.
midnight barn
Thx Margaret, missing see you that why i ask =]
desert ivy
There's examples of what they think other MMOs did well that they want to copy
For example, Steven wants to use the following as a base for Ashes combat.
Mobility of GW2
Skill synergy and tab target pace of combat of ArcheAge
Visual and sound cues of BDO
weak osprey
Not really. They don't usually drop names when talking about other MMOs because ...
Fair enough, but I would personally be very interested in some reassurance a launch will go smooth or the meta gaming to be addressed. Just these two examples are very prevalent in MMOs and they could use examples without pointing fingers
agreed but merely a plan of attack can go a long way
midnight barn
only thing from New World he need is get positive achievement feeling for every thing you do
and much less bugs/coding true chat =]
srry for spelling
weak osprey
ofcourse they do. They probably have many plans to combat issues we have seen across the MMO community. I do hope to see all those plans neatly stacked in a stream or some other content video.
weak osprey
hmm I have to disagree. 1: It is getting old to point fingers to a player base. 2: FF14 is one of the greatest examples where honestly and open cards is met with gratitude.
finally we are back to where it all started. They answer these questions with "what", which is awesome and provide details along the way (refer back to the "Intrepid has already told us the 50,000 (total) to 10,000) concurrent ratio wont' be there at launch, but it will eventually grow to that." Only a pity it hasn't been given a tight nit format. Couldn't you just have said that at the start :D?

Are they gonna do anything to prevent larger groups from being able to steam roll normal party sizes in caravans and such or are a group of 20 scrubs gonna be able to wash groups of 8 good players cuz they have numbers
desert ivy
Theyre not gonna do anything to "prevent" larger amounts of players from having an advantage. If you're better geared than them and outplay them you could probably win
night fossil
Hire mercs
It's economy driven right so hiring other players who want a good caravan record righy
crystal beacon
Doesnt matter when a streamer with 80+ drones come with their favorite streamer
lol
night fossil
What about choosing a server where streamers aren't?
crystal beacon
That means you'll have to go stream snipe minimum 10 streamers that are gonna play this game to find out where they'll end up at
night fossil
Well that would spark an open world battle others would gather for a fight so choose another route
Send a decoy caravan and go the other way
Endless possibilities
vernal urchin
yeah cuz if someone places a decoy and then goes to the other side of the map would be unfun
vernal urchin
i really cant when they have tab targeting
night fossil
Sometimes good sometimes maybe shit
Depending on how it plays out a decoy ain't that bad
vernal urchin
then you should be able to buy the decoy after you have leveled up like shipping and stuff
and after you reach a high enough lvl you can get decoys
crystal beacon
they just need to make it to where there isnt one way of entering certain nodes
To prevent people from just camping the only lane that people can enter through
night fossil
But it ain't effective unless you really sell it have a few people actually try and protect it the aim is for it to last so your actual caravan survives the other route

When cosmetic skins are applied to buildings, is the internal layout of the building impacted? Lack of immersion if it's not
ruby swift
Most likely not since it is an external skin and imagine the headache and issues having internal layouts for 100s of skins, because some of us already have a plethora. And it isn't a one time application, you can swap them as you like. Your interior layouts going crazy every time someone decided to have a "look at my skins" party.
For immersion you can just tell everyone your freehold is a recycled tardis. Bigger on the inside and all that.
