oh my bad !
is it seperated into sections like Atlas or are all people able to be in the same area in theory ?
actually I can see regions, and languages, but not cities. Or I can't read
it is meant to be 1 big world with no loading times
Or atleast countries they are at
that doesnt answer my question
there is no news on what citys the servers will be in
yes. Because I wasn't answering your question. Sorry mate, I don't have the answer
i was referring to ninja
oh, now I am confused xD
to 1 of your questions yes you can all be in 1 node if you can somehow get all 10k to be there at the same time the server would most likely crash but you can
ok interesting.. cuz Atlas marketed in a way where they said it would be possible to have x amount of players in the same realm but then they had zones where it was only possible for 40 people to be in each zone which actually was annoying for big clan fights
well in the alpha 1 we had a little over 5000 players in the same node
and we have seen vids of 500v500 so it is most def better then atlas
ye but its way different to have it work offline than to have it work online
if you mean the vid of them showing bots making animation for showcasing the performance of their rendering thingy
did you read what i wrote i said players in alpha 1
the 500v500 was the render thing
which video do you mean ?
i dont know if there is any vids of it perhaps some streamer have a vid or some random youtuber
the alpha 1 did not have a nda so you can just got watch some vids of it
bruh
there was some streamer that got 5000 ish in the same node
? well shit i was lied to then cuss he said they had 5000 in the same node
well you can but the server most likely would crash
Honestly they are working towards their goals of having large concurrent numbers of players in the same general area. They have shown different levels of things like the accidental too many bears spawned to the sieges and bots fighting (which honestly was a great step to showing that it could be rendered to say the least). Some things will take time but progress is shown constantly.
as long as its possible to have at least 50vs50 it should be fine

This is questions channel not discussing channel 
I was told by a very rude individual not to do discussions here and look how the tables have turned 🤣
We do want to keep this channel open for questions and answers only. There are plenty of other channels for discussions and speculations about the game 🙂
Hey i have a question,
If i buy the Expeditionary Pre-Order Pack. it is 150 EUR. If i want to buy later the Voyager Plus Pre-Order Pack. I havew only to pay 225 EUR?
You pay the difference
are u 100% sure
Yes, 100%
any news about the next testing ?
We're between alpha 1 and alpha 2 currently. So beta testing is a long way off.
Not yet.
so alpha 1 needs to come still?
No we've done alpha 1. Alpha 2 is the next test cycle.
Oké thx you
Will AOC have cat-like Animorphic races as seen in D&D "Leonin" or EQ "Vah Shir" or ESO "Khajiit" or GW2 "Charr"?
Yeah, curious how deep that customization will go" Players will have dials to adjust the reptilian, mammalian, humanoid, and other attributes of their Tulnar character in the Character creator. Mammalian Tulnar may have snout features, fur and inverted knees"
Yeah, thanks
Inverted knees for the win. Gimme
Does “inverted knees” actually refer to toe-walking, which is the normal posture for real-life tetrapods, such as in cats, dogs, birds, etc…?
Will the game be limited in some regions?
There are no region locks, so you can play it from anywhere as long as you pay the sub fee
Current planned server locations are NA, EU, OCE, and SEA
Has there been a release date for the next testing phases?
No
Will Turkish language be added?
That's currently not planned, might be something that gets added some time after release
thanks I hope it comes
Is it possible to see Spears also as One-handed weapon? Like a Paragon in Guildwars 1 with a Spear and a Shield? Would look awesome on a Warden (Ranger/Tank)
yo guys, one question... Do you know if there will be servers with language TAGS?
can you elaborate? the only image that comes to mind is how ff14 has matchmaking and channels you can opt into for different languages
Nice, thx you mate!
are the armour sets in the monthly pack equippable on all races?
"Cosmetics can be used by all races but there may be slight variations to make them work with the body builds of each race."
all cosmetics will be equipable on all races.
Cheers 👍
if i understand your question right then no the best you can do is go by where the server is located
Do we know if one will be able to pick several artisan classes ?
What about leveling other crafting professions, can you level all of them normally ? Do you have X points to allocate in them ? Or are you restricted to Y crafting professions ?
Got it, thanks!
I had order Expeditionary Pre-Order Pack Feb 3, 2022, 4:32:04 PM and it showed I should be able to try the client but I do not see it to download
Ur Pack gives access to Beta 1 and 2...But this is a long way to go there since we dont even reached Alpha 2 yet 😄
i was look at the date
guess i was wrong so when do you think we get a chance to see it again
see what?
i see i thought was getting close
the stuff i saw on youtube looked amazing
thanks for the info
any new news on alpha2? date?
Not yet
thnx
Hi, do we know if the betas will be translated into spanish? Or is it planned to be translated later?
Spanish is planned, yes
We don't know if the betas will be translated into Spanish tho
It is now
I just checked
No idea when that was added
ty
Is definitely new, wasn't planned last time I checked
@obsidian knoll since more and more people are leaving twitter and facebook. can you consider adding a different social media to your repertoire?
I would have preferred to keep chat apolitical but, the point is that most of those with the exception of discord/forums are leftist dominated organizations that have overbearing censorship and manipulation. So there are a growing number of people who put their morals above convenience and don't use them. I was just trying to ask for an alternative without instigating any political discourse. Because I think most of us would agree, we would prefer to not have that infect our gaming too.
is there a question in there somewhere?
scroll?
the original question you asked was answered then you made a long statement of some kind. just trying to parse it
It wasn't answered. Someone thought they did, but they didn't. So I gave more context.
intrepid doesnt read your suggestions here, you are best making suggestions on the forums
this channel is for questions that the community can answer
He listed all of the socials they have outside of Facebook and Twitter? I don't even think there are more than those social media 😂😂
^
Thanks. gab, parler, minds, gettr, rumble, odysee... theres a bunch more. and thank you for the link. I'll use that instead.
Sounds like you just want them to move from "leftist" based social media to right-wing based ones 
Lads.. Please move to #general-discussion or #aoc-discussion as I see you're just discussing.
It would be much appreciated as this is the area for questions and answers.
Have ashes made a schedule for alpha 2 ?
not yet
Ugh dam
Think there will be a class/archetype akin to everquest enchanter?
do we know when they're going to show anything new regarding actual game systems that isn't to do with art or characters such as combat or any of the other gameplay systems? surely it shouldn't take 5 years to get even one of these many planned systems done? i know they're "working" on doing the combat over again, but how long before they show something meaningful?
any news about the alpha2 ?
Nope
What are the artistic influence of the Ren'Kai Orcs?
Ren'Kai are a playable Kaivek Orc race in Ashes of Creation.
Honor. Power. Tranquility. Through staying centered their power only grows. The Ren'Kai believe in ultimate focus and controlling their immense power. When a Ren'Kai becomes enraged though, there aren't many men or beasts who can live and tell the tale.
!wiki leveling
Leveling won't follow a traditional linear path, although classic mechanics for leveling exist. Experience (XP) is gained through a variety of activities:
PvP.
PvE.
Exploration.
Gathering/Processing/Crafting.
Events/Quests. A character's level will be visible to other players. There will not be level boosts or auto-leveling.

question mostly to ppl who already did test the game, how does threat work on bigger groups of enemies? whether u need to generate enough of it on each single one, it sums up from each target or some other way? say u want to fight 5 human sized chickens in a 4 man party, is it enough for u to drop all your skills on the nearest one and rest of your group can cast their aoes, use for example throw weapon to hit 3 and aggro all 5 of them on yourself, or you would need to throw the weapon and hit 2 remaining?
from what we where told it would be reworked for alpha 2
thanks
Is the game out yet? Have not been here in a months
no. We're waiting for Alpha 2
ok
hey ive been away for a while, is there any alpha 2 release date or estimation peeps?
not yet
thanks lex <3
Can we reserve our character names yet?
not yet
nope that is more like beta 1 or 2 and will happen the same time as guild name reservations
thanks
Will there be achievements based on killing lvl6 nodes mayor or being mayor of a lvl6 node? And if yes, will characters gain some sort of title based on those?
we dont know
Y’all are getting emails?
will you be able to solo legendary beasts or world bosses with enough skill or is it impossible? raids and dungeons included.
😦
I just arrived, on the website it is listed alpha 2 phase there is already a date or some estimate?
They are between Alpha 1 and Alpha 2 atm, no dates.
Funny I was wondering that earlier too! Thank you for answering!
so far as i know there is no region lock currently planned
there is no region locking if you are paying the non-harmonised pricing. if you were asking if you can switch between NA and EU freely on the same character then that would be a no.
yeah, you cant even change servers in the same region with the same charactor

The world of Verra features an in-game viewable world map. This map is not randomly generated, and begins covered in a fog of war.

Per month? Though it was permanent
Kinda expensive
no its a subscription not a buy once play forever game
Oh i see thank you
? how so every other mmo has a sub and you have to pay for expansions
this only got a sup
not all MMORPGS have a sub, but ashes will. ashes also wont have a box cost, so its only the monthly subscription you pay. if you dont want to play you can cancel your sub, want to play again bring your sub back up and you are good to go
okay
I was wondering about controls to be used for in game economy?

Prices of hunting certificates.

If you buy for example a 75$ pack, will you get a discount if you want to buy an expensive pack in the future?
Yes
You can purchase the higher tier pack upgrades for the difference if that's what you're asking
At the end it will cost the same?
Yes. It'll still cost the posted dollar amount of the higher tier pack you want. But you'll be paying the -75 dollars you've already spent.
Nice!!
When will the Alpha 2 be live?
A friend of mine wants to buy preorder but only when that is coming up
Ok, ty
The tulnar is going to be a selectable race right?
Yup, tulnar is a playable race
Guys, before asking if an A2 date was revealed, take that in consideration:
Before we get into A2, those things are still to be revealed to us:
1: Character Creation screen (possibly planned for this month)
2: User Interface (UI)
3: Alpha-2 footage
4: Spot tests
At the speed they reveal things, that’s mean do not expect it before a minimum of four months … and that if I do not forget anything so it can be and will be probably much longer than that…
Sweet thanks im most excited to see how they look that will be the race I pick.
You should disregard any "time frame" that gives you actual units of time as speculation, because speculation is all we have at this point until Intrepid makes something official.
I would also urge people to stop making guesses on times and passing them off as information as to when to expect things. You don't know. End of story. Saying "it will be atleast X months" is going to set people up for expectations that won't be met.
This is a channel for answering questions, not making speculations. This is how bad information is created and people rage.
Will i be able to play as a boy? like lots of mmo's have girls but not boys, its a shame. i'd love to play not as a men, but as a boy. Any info?
there is no age slider you can make him shorter and act young but thats it
So will he look like a boy or just shortened version of a men?
Character creator has not been shown yet
Ah okay, my bad
yer but steven said there would not be a age slider and there will a hight slider
Word (:
Age slider would be cool imo, but i respect it. I hope ill be able to play as a boy, as i dont really like playing as a men
But i guess if character creation will be like in BDO or better (as Steven said) then there should be no problem with that
There isn't any plans to allow "lo*i" characters, so I doubt you'll be able to make a small boy character
There are no children
hi team, so my question is, did you know i love you all? ❤️
I didnt mean kids, i meant like 15-18 yo
Still a child
They don't want any controversy if someone decides to slaughter everyone that looks young
Or ERP with them
Will AoC offer student or family discounts for subs or cosmetics?
there are currently no announced plans for anything like that no.
What about a means of purchasing game time using in game wealth via things like plex for eve/bonds for RS? Always a controversial one, I never know where I stand on it 😂
Currently only way to buy time is paying the sub price
No, there will be no PLEX or WoWToken style RMT payment method.
How do you fancy the chances of this game coming out before September 2023? Plan to have a kid around that time and would like some solid time before that to nolife this game hehe. Are there any recent developments we can draw experience from Alpha 1 to release timeframes?
I personally highly doubt it'll come out before sep 2023
Raise your kid to be a top rate MMO gamer and now you'll have a support for when AoC comes out
Have kid now and get worst sleepless nights out of the way before game arrives.
Game comes and you game at night to chill out from hyperactive toddler during day.
then as child grows include them in your hobby.
Lesson to learn: Never make a kid.
😀
when will alpha 2 start?
no dates

this will be as read as the faq channel was
The next friday (the next week) they do dev stream?
Yes, Friday the 25th. Official announcement to confirm it should be out in the #news channel by tmw.
Thank you guys for the answear ❤️
thanks ^^
It's possible that "Voyager Pre-Order Package" has the price gone up, from 220$ to 250$? or was it a dream?
has always been 250
Is it possible that there is a maximum purchase? has it a limit?
?
dont understand
Ok thanks guys!!
Will there be quests that will increase your stats like increased strength?
Unknown yet. Quests haven't really been finalized yet
if there were they would most likely be tied to the main quest of the game
Will the servers run in India?
we do not know at this time
You can play the game from anywhere, there's not planned to be any region lock.
There's not any plans for any servers to be located inside India. SEA server would probably be the closest to you.
Ooh that's really helpful
Black desert is region locked in India so I was a little worried that something similar will occur in ashes since the player bace here is a little sparse.
Do you guys know if they are going to change the fight mechanics?
That's currently not planned
Royal mounts are a tier 3 class of flying mounts available to Mayors of metropolis nodes and Kings and Queens of Guild castles. Royal mounts can also be dropped from legendary world bosses.
Royal mounts are capable of true flight when utilized by Mayors of metropolis nodes or Kings and Queens of Guild castles.
Flight capable royal mounts are also...
lol 🙂
yes combat is currently undergoing a large revamp and is constantly being iterated on
ooh yeah, didnt read properly ^^
great thanks
thank you ❤️
but... will the change in the fighting mechanics affect how the classes work? will they continue to be 64 clases in a hybrid sistem?
The class system is still planned, but it's possible of course that the archetypes will feel different from what we saw in Alpha1
This is not a question about the game but: It's possible to take some visual content of the monthly update report in order to make a video for youtube?
I'm thinking of making a "summary" of those videos and translate it to spanish since I didn't see we have no one doing this in Spanish. But I never did something like this so, I just want to be sure.
thanks 🙂
Yup, feel free to do that 

How many characters will be allowed per server? To experience different classes etc/mains/alts
So far we've been told a "comfortable" amount.
No clarification on what that amount is yet. So stay tuned.
That’s a good enough answer for me. With all the classes and archetypes available. “Comfortable” is all I need to know 🙂
I’d be comfortable with 5 but I’m sure their version of comfortable may be more than that
u asked like a week ago
😭
I know it's early for the question, but there are minimum computer requirements to play?
...Ashes of Creation alpha testing minimum system specification. These system specs have not changed for Unreal Engine 5. Operating System: Windows 10 64-Bit...
...switching secondary archetype. It may also be possible to swap between multiple specs after the cooldown period. The secondary class choice, which comes after...
...fidelity in the game (without excessive overhead). The recommended system specs for the game have not changed for Unreal Engine 5. Nanite brings us really...
thanks!!!
those requirements were for Alpha 1 & before ue5. as the game improves visually you should expect the minimum requirements to increase.
yer but it the only thing we got
yes I know!
Missing response. Try again later.
I saw on the Wiki that freeholds will have "ample" supply ... is that to say 80% or more of the player base will be able to have a freehold SOMEWHERE on the map, just maybe not the exact node you want?
the map is so big that having a freehold somewhere in world wont be a issue fighting for a good spot will
Got it ... just like irl haha location location location
Thanks
do i recall correctly, that we will have just 2 resource bars available in AoC, being mana(or however its called) and hp?
thanks
and there are no plans about adding skills consuming hp instead of mana, right?
a pitty, but thanks man
hmm....wouldnt be sooo sure about this 'no'...we may dont see 'rage'-bars but using HP for specific skills? Maybe...
Sacrifice X % of ur max HP to cast a 'last resort' healingspell with 10,15 w/e min cd... or something like this.
Please keep speculation to the discussion channels. The last information given is that there will be one pool coined "mana" that fuels all abilities atm. If that changes the updates will get linked.
A quick question about the Season and Weather system. Is it gonna be every week that the seasons change so equating 1 real time month to 1 game year or is this still subject to change? I don’t have any real problems with it just curious.
"Seasons change on a weekly basis during scheduled downtime."
Yes
So each month is a full seasonal rotation
@tranquil willow Ok thank you for the info good sir

When we can use the name reservation?
should be beta 1 or 2 so gonna be a while
Oh Thanks!
I just want to be sure that I will be the only one YoungDaddyGamer hahahah
so are we going to be able to keep our beat characters when game launches?
? not sure if i understand what you mean
No, all progress is reset
I meant beta sorry. and ok that's what i was hoping for
Howdy. How do I add "Alpha One" to my Role List on the Forums? (Right now only Member and Intrepid Pack are showing.)
should have done it on its own if you where part of alpha 1 if you bought the Voyager Plus after alpha was done then you dont get the tag cuss it was only for those that played the alpha 1
Yea I tested A1. Should I do a support ticket?
yer
cool thx
Intrepid pack holders dont get the A1 role
rly ? i seem to remember they do
They have A1 access, but we don't get a specific "Alpha One" role on Discord or the forums
we still have access to all the a1 stuff tho
Names are exclusive to the server you join. If someone in a different server used your name you can still use it in your server.
that's one of my least favorite things about the game ^ but oh well
cool names are irrelevant really unless you're on a "main server" if that's even gonna be a thing.
servers with streamers i guess idk
Hello friends, I have a question.
I know there are plans to have future languages in the game, but is there any plan to support those languages on Discord?
For example, I know that the Spanish-speaking market may not be the best, but it is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world, it would help to create a community, guild recruitment, etc. 😄
No en este momento amigo.
okay, ty 🙂
Podemos unirnos extraoficialmente y hacer algo haha
Is it going to release this year
If you mean Alpha 2 Perhaps if you mean the full game then Hell no
This summer I heard release was going to happen in autumn 2021. Was it false rumor?
no nda was in autumn, there was never a hard release date
Hello friends, I have a question. will there be benefits by race for different professions? for example... dwarves become better at forging weapons.
No, your profession is not affected by race, religion, or class
Nice
Artisan classes allow a player to specialize in one or more of the following skill trees.
Gathering
Processing
Crafting Within each of these three artisan classes lies different professions.
Characters within a single account (Alts) may have different professions.
There are profession-specific quests. A character may only master one of the three p...
Ty
Does the plan remain for Alpha2 to be persistent?
Yes
I have a QUESTION... When you join a FAMILY in AOC, is that ACCOUNT bound or just for the Character ? Just wondering because I can see ALOT of people abusing it if it is NOT account bound. I for one have already thought of a few ways to abuse it so I'm sure others have as well.
!wiki family
Families are a means to relate up to nine characters.
A character may only belong to one family at a time.
Leaving one family and joining another family will have a cooldown period in the order of days.
Family sizes are normally limited to eight characters. Marriage increases family size by one to allow player housing permissions to be shared.
Thi...
Having 10 characters all in 10 different families seems that it could lead to summoning abuse? but that's just my take on it
Plus you can't teleport when you have gatherables on your person, so it's not like you could abuse it to transport goods either 
Another QUESTION I have: I know I watched a video about FAMILY Summons and that you can't have anything in your BACKPACK, but what about the equipment your wearing?
I get that part
What I plan on doing is after myself and my MULE is 100% loaded I will got to a far of place that will pay me the most for my components than have a FAMILY MEMBER summon me back to the CITY with all the GOLD I just got
But what's the issue with that?
You still need to get the mule to the area you want to sell your stuff
which can be attacked and looted by other players
I trust myself taking the goods to another town, more than I trust a CARAVAN, seems the CARAVAN convoys ALWAYS loose. Only way I see a CARAVAN surviving is if a GUILD puts together a CARAVAN and has ALOT to loose so they send a LARGE escort with them
by the way, love watching your YOUTUBE vids Jahlon
Why the random CAPS I wonder?
I like using them for certain things, sorry I have a mental disability and using CAPS makes it easier for me to understand and express myself. So sorry if you dislike it but I can't help it.
Move to #aoc-discussion
BTW this is something for what Alphas/Testingphases are for. If the familysummon can be abused it can get fixed by increasing the cooldown massively or just by deciding not to implement this Skill. (just examples)
when do you get a mule or caravan? and are there other types that holds more/ moves faster
ok
thank you (and i know caravans are vehicles
Hey guys I was looking for a youtube/twitch channel that played in alpha 1 and shared his streaming. Is there anyone who did that cuz i want to watch how the leveling goes and all the environment.
Thank you very much i just wanted to have some long video so i can see the gameplay even tho it s gonna change
The only issue I see with family summons is being able to move entire guilds across the map. However this would only work for 2 spots on the map.
Or maybe just one spot. Guild could be set up somewhere on say one continent then have the 2nd spot set up wherever they choose
The vids Jahlon made were great, i watched all of them start to finish and answered so many questions. Very entertaining also.
Hi, I've got a few pictures I'd like to share to the Art Team, it's a tree trunk with roots that looks like a War hammer Head that could be in a medieval fantasy world.
So where should I post those ?
Thanks in advance.
how does a person get a refund after buying a pack??
should be able to find it there
hi! Do we know what topics the devstream will deal with? Or will we only know when it go live?
okay, thanks
will guns be in the game?
will crossbows be in the game?
will knifes be in the game?
Why not just look at the link he posted
will solo dungeons be a thing?
will making ur own crafting stations be thing?
will there be a limit on gathering and crafting?
how so?
will there be like a labor system like archeage for example?
will there be fast travel?
can u elaborate ?
will there be auto-pathing?
will there be mounted combat?
how will dailies work?
so will there be like hunting / gathering adventures?
can it be done solo?
how do you click links?
will gliding be in this game?
im asking general questions here whats with the toxic remarks? @desert ivy
will aoc have a auction house?
thank u sir u have been most helpful and friendly 🥰
thanks jahlon
will there be a bard like class or a buff support class in this game?
What plans do they have for end game?
Will combat feature a series of cooldowns that you cycle through.. or will cooldowns be more strategic and use them according to the situation?
And ... will there be a mix of passive, spam and cooldown abilities? If all 3, do we have any idea on the %breakdown. I ask because a click spam fight is boring and cooldown cycles also get boring. IMO there needs to be a good mix of spam attacks, situational cooldowns and passive abilitys that proc
Can't really answer anything to do with the intricacies of combat atm cause they're reworking it completely
There will be passive and active abilities
Too many cooldown options also gets frustrating and weird lol
Not options .. but readied cooldowns... like for me, I think it feels weird when in combat you have a full 8-10 toolbar icons of cooldowns.
Well the plan is that you'll be able to have up to 30 abilities if you put all your points into getting new abilities instead of strengthening your existing ones
But if you strengthen your existing ones then you'll have less abilities but more powerful ones
Ahhh .. that's interesting. Seems like that could work well for people that want to have a full arsenal of abilities but also be for folks like me that just want to master 4-5 of them
AND it seems like it would be nearly impossible to see 4735675 meta builds because people would always be tweaking them to see how to get the advantage
Is the pvp going to be whenever your outside of a town? Or something like new world where you can toggle on/off when you just want to quest and gather.
whenever outside, BUT if you are just minding your own business, if someone kills you he will get maluses / can get a bounty on his head, other players can freely attack him and stuff. There are 3 categories / colors of players
https://ashesofcreation.wiki/PvP#Player_corruption
Alright so are we losing inventory or something or equipment deterioration? Or just a hey I kicked your ass kinda thing and we both go about our business? I'll save that link and check it on my next break
you dont lose gear if you are not corrupted but you lose stuff in your inventory
"a percentage of carried gatherables and processed goods"
the reds (the ones that kill the green bois) "has a chance to drop any carried/equipped items based on their current corruption score."
also durability loss for everyone but much less for the green boiz
And Towns arnt Safezones...the only Safezone is ur Freehold, everywhere else u can pk/gank or get pked/ganked
oh yeah that s right, give the evil eye to that guy in front of the tavern ? Can go wrong lol

Are there plans for end game, something to keep people playing after they've leveled and maybe beat some bosses. I see new world had a fun leveling system but died fast because they had no end game. Lost ark has a bulky end game keeping people playing.
There are a whole lot of horizonal progression paths beyond leveling that give benefits
i had a question actually, when i saw the last video the mount animation was.. not great.. is that being improved on? and i mean for ground mounts, the flying seemed down pat
Everything you are watching will be improved upon
They are no where near last pass on things
And if it's a flying mount on the ground it's supposed to look awkward
no it was a some sort of horse i believe, the turning was more sliding, but at least i know its not the final then cant wait for finaly release
horses can strafe move, it might have been that
Such as?
Like I know of the open world pvp and node battles and I'm sure there will be raids and dungeons, just hoping it won't be like new world. Fun to level, hit a wall at max

“End Game” is whatever you want it to be. Some may want to have the most popular tavern on server and put considerable effort into the best yelp reviews. Just getting to level cap isn’t the final goal for anything. Level cap is just something you’ll ding somewhere along your journey towards being top at XYZ. It’ll be months before a metropolis on fresh servers and after a year when a metropolis is sacked and destroyed, months before another metropolis with all kinds of new experiences along the way. The “End Game” never ends. The ride doesn’t stop.
Thank you guys, just curious what end game was, been so excited about leveling I never really thought about it much
!wiki races
Ashes of Creation offers nine playable races.
Verra is a world with rich and diverse cultures. Much of its important history has been dominated by the major races. Humans of the coast and plains, Orcs within the hills and the marshes, Elves in the forest and the riverlands, and the esteemed Dwarves of the mountains. The major races have held domin...
That's cool, but you should select a language in #read-me-first so you can talk to the community.
This is a questions channel
You can find most of the info on the wiki
!wiki
Ashes of Creation Wiki aims to capture accurate confirmed knowledge about Ashes of Creation. The 1,946 articles in this wiki are kept up-to-date with the latest info from Intrepid Studios. Everyone can contribute to this wiki.
Yes, we've just had alpha 1 testing ending in august and are now heading toward alpha 2.
It draws alot of influence from aa and lineage
Yes. The game on release will be a zero box cost subscription game costing 15 dollars a month. (Except for harmonised regions)
Will each weapon have its own weapon skill tree or is the weapon skill tree a general thing ?
each weapon will have it's own skill tree

Does ashes of creation plan on having any form off ironman/group iron men system similar to RuneScape or wow mods?
there has been no talk about it but seems likely that it would happen some time after the game is out
Thanks in advance to anyone with an answer for this! I was curious about how node progression happens within the node itself in relation to where the actual encampment/crossroads first starts. Will it be in the exact same place regardless of server or will town placement of each city in relation to specific nodes be different depending on which server it develops on. How exactly is the starting point placement decided? Is it randomly generated, predetermined, or does the initial experience the players earn for the node somehow make a difference for instance if the encampment first spawns on the coast of a node vs more inland on a river ect.
the node will be the same type no matter what and you dont decide where it gets placed
the placement is predetermined
I take it then that is also true no matter which server you are on...so while on one server the node may only ever advance to the town stage on another it may be a metropolis but exact geographical location within the node will always be the same. I guess my other question then would be node type...military, scientific ect...the same node on different servers will be of the same node type as well or could there be variance there?
yer on a server a node may be the focal point of a empire on a whole other server it may never even have a town
and yes the type is the same on every server
gotcha...was just curious how all that will play out, appreciate you taking the time to answer
no pro
a small addition to this answer: they might be changing what resources spawn in what node across servers. if they go with this option we could see a less static push for the "optimal" node on each server
I like that idea ... and change it up every 3-6 months maybe?
resources arent completely static in the first place
Perhaps an interesting question for some,
Is Intrepid watching and learning from the mistakes made during the Lost Ark launch? And preparing accordingly? 😮💨
the short answer is yes
but it is not that simple
I would guess they followed recent gamelaunches. But Im guessing it is very hard when it comes to server population and queues not to upset someone, atleast during a games launch.
Things that come to mind:
- Rather providing too many servers and downscale post-launch instead of the opposite way, making people still tied to their first choice
- Already building in the necessary systems for server transfers, because if they like or not, they will be needed eventually
probably best to post suggestions on the forums. they wont be actioned here
they cant downscale since they cant server merge and server transfers are hard for them to
hard or not, they are needed. I get what you mean tho :)
when i mean hard i mean hard like most likely wont happen
!wiki server transfer
Server transfers will not be possible initially. The developers intend to assess the impact on housing and other systems closer to launch.
It's better to start with less servers. Starting with too many in a game like Ashes is dumb and will lead to people quitting when their lower population server gets merged with a higher pop server and they lose all their nodes and the mayorships and their castles
Not all MMOs are as simple as PvE Themeparks like WoW or Lost Ark or FF14 where the world is exactly the same on every server and you can just merge them if the population drops
Queues should be expected by now with MMOs at launch. I don't know how people still aren't used to them
Queues yes, 5+ hours queues every day, no. I agree with the server merge being impossible. That's why I think plain character transfer availability is even more important
im pretty sure steven said server merges would be harder then server transfers why do you think they would do a server merger
Well, I do hope you are wrong about the character transfer. But I have faith, their data will tell them that eventually 
But don't want this to become a discussion here, thanks for the answer
will there be a free phase for the early levels or do you have to pay right away?
There is no Free Trial if thats ur question...u pay 15$ and can test the game for a whole month...and if u want to continue u just have to pay for another month or u stop
alright thanks
let's keep this channel to questions please, if you want to further discuss the feasibility or pros and cons of character transfers/server merge, please bring it down to #aoc-discussion 
Is there a development Roadmap that I can read?
None with dates, but you can get an idea of the goals they want to accomplish with each text phases here https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Release_schedule
Any word on whether we will be able to chop down all trees, mine all rocks, etc, new world style?
I hope they change that from the "sparkling" thing in alpha
they want you to have to look for the resources.
Gathering is one of the artisan classes in Ashes of Creation.
Gatherable resources are discovered by trial-and-error and by learning their visuals. There will not be "sparklies" on gatherable resources in the final game.
Gathering requires the creation and use of tools.
Gathering within a node's Zone of influence (ZOI) will contribute to its exper...
basically you will have some trees in a forest you can cut with small giveaways that they're harvestable.
Sounds terrible
Ah wait
"Gatherable resources are discovered by trial-and-error and by learning their visuals.[4] There will not be "sparklies" on gatherable resources in the final game"
Ok gud
Why not just make every tree gatherable?
you also bloat the experience needed to reach a higher level in the profession
Wouldn't increasing/decreasing cost/yield fix the problem though?
There should just be a burn rate of materials for nodes
Because people live there other than players
this is becoming a discussion. i'd suggest moving to #aoc-discussion
- Will slashing damage be less effective against armored opponents, compared to blunt and piercing dmg?
- Does a sword for example inflict only slashing dmg or can it do piercing dmg. Or can spiked Warhammer do both piercing and blunt dmg?
- If node A declares war against node Z to aim to destroy it. Does node A have to conquer smaller nodes that are in a way to node Z? Like node X and node Y are in a way to node Z.
- Is a total war the only type of war? OR can A node only seize/conquer smaller border X and Y nodes of a metropolis node Z?
- Does weather/climate affect players. If it does, does it affect the races the same way?
1 and 2, all the physical damage is simply physical damage reduced by physical resistance(soory, its not kingdom come)
3 and 4 its not nodes the fight, nodes may be taken down, but theyre not actually war sides, rather guilds that run them, nodes might be objectives in the wars
5 it does affect players, changes resources, enemies and dungeons i think? spawning in the world as well as players crops, there was nothing on it affecting the character, rather world around them if i recall correctly
@random dagger @simple ether Thanks for the answer
Hey there, I have a question.
I know that the combat is being modified, but… it will continue to be a hybrid between action and target, right? It's just a revamp.
They are still aiming for a Hybrid Tab/Action combat system
They will try to do it, but if it doesn't work, tab is their fall back
Will we be seeing longcoats such as Dusters, and Highwayman Coats being an armor type we'd see?
any word on class blogs returning........... been so long since we had one
Once they develop them further, probably
sry for asking, when the game release date?
i'm so exciting about concept the game
Currently there is no announced release date… the project is currently working towards the Alpha 2
No date for that as well yet … they working hard to get it ready!
What's the chance that we see the character customiser this stream?
Perhaps
They said last stream that they would maybe show some of it off but was not a sure thing, was a maybe if they got it where they wanted it… we will see soon!
How alt friendly is the game going to be? like how is the game going to cater to alts, since alot of us would more than likely want to have alts
!wiki alt
There will be a "comfortable" number of character slots available for alts.
Progression pathways in Ashes of Creation are per-character.

Maybe this has been answered already but I haven't seen it asked... but will there be player to player trading? Or will that be locked and items/in game currency can't be freely exchanged?
Yes, there'll be player trading
Most items in the game are planned to be tradeable
Not much binding planned
awesome, thx

the cosmetics change monthly, there are no dragon mounts this month

When was there a dragon mount
Ochre Legion Wyrmling was a cosmetic mount skin in a pre-order pack.

Oh before I found the game
I think I know what you mean by "buy the game", but just to clarify, the game will be a no-box cost game. Meaning you don't need to buy it, you just pay a monthly subscription fee when it actually launches. The packages available right now should be viewed as "supporting" the on-going development of this game. Because you're essentially supporting the team and getting access to a development Alpha & Beta. Not a marketing Alpha/Beta (where the game is actually done, but the publisher labels it as a beta for people to spend more money).
@tall scaffold when i pay monthly subscription fee, there's some of it with 6 months or 9 months playin time .. is it now wit alpha or when the game comes out ?
That time will be applied when the game launches. Alpha and Beta doesn't require subscription fee's.
when the game comes out
so how can i play the game right now ? what do i need to buy or pay ?
you can't play right now.
The Intrepid team will announce when Alpha 2 will begin, eventually
so far, no info on when that is
aright when alpha 2 comes what do i need to pay ? is it gonna be monthly or once
we had alpha 1 last year we are waiting for alpha 2 you can buy the 250 dollar pack to play alpha 2 when that comes out
The alphas will not be like playing the game. Most the time there is an objective to test and all progress can be wiped anytime as needed
Any thoughts on replacing Xsolla? They had bad press even before today
all of my purchases on my order history says Xsolla is the originator. I dont remember seeing options to pay any other way. i will look into it a bit more
There's been other options for quite a while now
checkout is stripe (iirc), then u have the other options, xsolla was the sole provider if u purchased 1+ year ago
ah gotcha. cool good to know
ty. still 86 Xsolla imo but at least you have paypay
pal
nope
Actually imma start something new, every time i ask and get told no i shall impart upon thee useless knowledge
No number from 1 to 999 contains the letter A in its word form
Alright, see y’all next month
1.001
112
Word form: one point zero zero one. The other is one hundred twelve
guys lets go down to #general-discussion
I've been taught one hundred and twelve
The only time that knowledge is not true is if you are from the UK where it is proper to say and. In the US it is not considered proper. Aight im out
Has there been any more updates about merch? Last thing mentioned on the wiki is it was going to be out in 2021. Hoping for some cool Ashes clothing haha
not rly no
In Australia we also say "and" after a hundred
Australia also used to be a province of the UK
is this game going to be released in india..?
Ashes of Creation will launch with the following server regions: https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Regions
There is no region locking planned. So if you can bear with playing a PvX game with latency from your area, you can play on any region.
so if the alpha 2 is going to run after launch i'm assuming you will still have to pay a monthly fee to play on the test servers right? you'll have the 9 months or whatever from the package but after that you pay 15 even if you just wanted to play on the alpha 2 server
The alpha 2 server(s) will become the PTS after launch. Access to the PTS post launch would only be available to those who are subscribed to AOC (i.e. paying the $15/month). You would not be able to 'play' on the PTS if you are not subscribed.
The pts server and stable server will be bundled into one subscription
I hope to god they don’t do test servers. Test servers have been the pure downfall of MMO’s. No surprises for new content because everyone sees it in the PTS and has already found the best way to do things.
they dont have any content on test realms they are meant for stuff like combat updates and stuff like that
to test if those would work or do a runescape
So, I will take that in the form of a question. Since the PTS will be its own server that will experience wipes and boosts based on their need, it will not reflect the environment on your particular server. Since each server has different content and nodes that have been leveled, trying to pigeonhole "I saw this, so this is what it is going to be on mine!" will in most cases not work. Those that farm PTS for meta and exploits will not have the same success they have in themepark mmos.
Should be like alpha testers. Need to pay for entry to it.
this is no longer a question lets move down to #aoc-discussion to talk about it
Opinions and feedback are great. But please put them on the forums or in the discussion channels where it belongs.

aoc will have season like winter and summer. will the time and duration of the season be the same as in real life?
Seasons affect different zones (environments/biomes) based on their location in the world.
There will be regions of the map with seasons that are less (or more) temperate. For example: Northern, Southern and Tropical regions.
Events may radically change the current season a zone is in, or elongate it. This includes weather changes.
There will also...
If you purchase a package for access to the Alpha's and Beta's do you link something here to get access to different rooms within discord? Not sure so just asking.
There are rooms for A1 backers but A1 is no longer being sold. So no, there's no need for A2/beta backers to connect their accounts currently 
Next Alpha when?
No announced date for Alpha-Two quite yet! 🙂 Stay tuned for when the day comes!

A large percentage of Ashes of Creation's game systems are expected to be in place for Alpha-2.

I missed the stream, when will a recording of this be available? I don't see any way to rewind the twitch live lol
There will be a recording on their Youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/c/AshesofCreation

Was the alpha 2 announced or no? Only seen like 12 minutes of it
No announced date
Damn thanks
Is eating the legs of a snorse considered to be taboo?
I had to mute twitch for a work meeting, idk if my question was answered on stream of so sorry, will races have a combat advantage over others? For example a larger race having a greater weapon reach then those that may be a smaller race?

so when they referenced livestock in the stream. think there going the way of making better animals to be killed and used in better quality cooking recipes? is there going to be a cooking portion of the artisans?
Yes, cooking is a profession. We have various farming aspects as to livestock planned, including fish farms, which is why someone asked about breeding fish.
very nice. man theres alot to this game i need this alpha 2 already
The best way is to participate in the Discord and watch and wait for future update news. It will be awhile.
yea ive been more active with all of this in the past 3 weeks. everyday its just more and more and i love it.
Glad to hear it. If you have specific questions you are confused about or need more detail ask here. If you are looking for more information to fill in knowledge gaps of what has been proposed and developed so far you should study the wiki or go to Ashes101.com
thanks on the ashes101 ill check that out and have the wiki saved. appreciate it
The wiki can be intimidating to new arrivials. Ashes101 is more for those that want specific topics addressed in a visual manner.
wrong chat to ask that
The mention of the husbandry breakdown into 4 branches and specialising in 1 branch is nice but if I say breed pets would they be able to be trained as attack pets if so can more than one be active at a time up to a limit of course? Could they also say be used to scout areas or find hidden doors like a rouge? Or even hunt game or say fish for you?
As far as we know, you can only have 1 combat pet. There were no mentions of them having any uses outside of combat ones
Otter like pet fishing please
A2 - 2029!
Quick question which is somewhat of a hard one but are we the community going to determine which will be more Rp focused servers or will they be labeled as such?
Roger that, so basically just keep an eye out near launch which server will be which.
Cool, thanks so much.
Did one of the intrepid store packs have the 2 day headstart or was that strictly kickstarter
Ah feels bad, thanks man.
will flying mounts have a bathroom for long journeys like aircraft planes? and will the poop physics be the same? will the poop drop down as a frozen brick from altitude like some sort of sky god to fertilize the fields of peoples farms?.
stop
I don't think your question is relevant here.
if you own 1 of the 5 guild castles, does your guild live in the castle or do just live in the a guild hall like everyone else?
I see where could we leave a suggestion for the idea of having other functions of the pet husbandry system ie the scout or gathering type pet
on the forum, there are a few threads about it already. feel free to add another one. https://forums.ashesofcreation.com/
and here's the information on combat pets. https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Pet_progression#Combat_pets
From what I found on the wiki, it seems that you will be able to live in guild castles as well as guild halls.
Also, members of the guild that occupy the castle can be citizens of the 3 castle nodes adjacent to the castle
https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Guild_castles#Castle_nodes
https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Guild_castles#Guild_housing
will it be possible to have a sea node, where you can also contribute to a city (as an example: multiple big boats tied together to form a floating city). Where in the beginning there is nothing and the xp for the node comes from killing the aquatic creatures?
players cannot create a node
and yes killing aquatic creatures contributes to a node
the only "sea" nodes we have at the moment are coastal nodes that extent their ZOI into the sea.
ok thanks for the answer
I need a Alpha 1 key!
Why would you need an alpha 1 key if alpha 1 ended last August?
Probably for an ornament
To feel special
So I have a question about player vs player and toxic guild members. Let's say I set up a shop within the Zone of Influence of my guild's node. **Can fellow guild members attack me while I am in my shop or do I have some sort of protection against that? **
Thank you.
Has there been a discussion or confirmation if the character creator will be separated from the game ... or if you will be able to create your character before launch? I'd hate to lose precious "new server" time on creating my perfect Nikua Dwarf
Awesome 🥰 thank you
When is alpha 2 starting
can you do anything with embers now?
Nope
If I buy the 250.00 package would I be able to play now?
Just waiting for them to realesse the date. If you buy that pack now you'll have access whenever they put it out.
No real point in buying now unless you really like the cosmetics. You might as well wait until we get closer to Alpha 2 and they reveal more footage so you can see if it's something you're interested in helping to test
Also the alphas are 'playing' they are most definitely testing of systems with wipes and objectives
is there any easy spot to check what alpha is active at the moment? based on a previous comment i can see we aren't in alpha 2 yet
there are no alphas active at the moment
we dont currently have dates for when alpha 2 will begin
but where can i check?
You periodically can check here. They give pings in #news . The announcement of A2 will most likely be in one of their monthly livestreams too. So make sure to watch those.
ta
Are there any plans later on to hold community contests, to make a concept for a cosmetic or something similar? I’d love to see the community being able to make armors and weapons, because some people are so talented in making cool looking stuff.
They have had various contests in the past with different kinds of prizes, including testing access, cosmetics, and sometimes irl merch. Doubt you will see a design contest, since they have sold some "design your own ........" in the higher end KS and Summer packages years ago which still have yet to be acted upon. Also then they run into those that would try to claim "ownership" of their creations without some very clears terms of participation, thus creating a huge headache for very little return.
I do hope they find a way to do it, it’s great community feedback in what they’d want to see and it’s great interaction.
Will there be Thai language?
Currently they plan to release with English, French, German, Russian, Italian, Polish, and Spanish. But they'll likely add more. You'll have to check closer to the release date.
Thank you for answering. If there is Thai language it would be great.
Yo guys! One question.. How many employees does Intrepid Studios have?
they had 120 employees in january this year
Nice, ty.
probably more like 140 by now
Have they decided how they will mark off the edges of the map? Maybe right now an invisible wall, but is there going to be a inworld explanation as to way players cant go further. Like is there a dense fog where fighting in there is much harder with monsters strong enough to take out even the strongest guild, or is it uninhabitable with dangerous hazards every 5 steps that no spell or potion can heal with their limited knowledge?
I hope not, nothing pisses off a payer more than seeing something really cool in the distance and just not being able to get to it because dev said no.
I can even imagine “reclam territory” type server wide events to explain why the map is getting bigger. Like hordes of monsters are rushing in, hold them off. Or donations to help build some grand machine, some of which must be fought for.
I understand that, but I’m just sitting here curious as to what former mmo players who got fed up plan. There needs to be more fans making their own thing to contribute to what they love. Hearing how development is going it’s clear there’s tons of passion
There won't be anything interesting/cool to see in the distance that you can't get to, every piece of land is accessible, the edge of the map will be in the middle of the ocean
For now...
The world is flat so eventually new continents might pop up in future expansions
sees a giant sea monster swallow up a merchant ship in the distance. I’m gonna fight it
Will the world be a globe? Meaning if I travel off the the eastern map on a boat, will I appear on the western edge of the map?
No. It will have a border you can't cross
Great .. thanks. That is probably a more future proof way of doing it
No. At the moment the world is A̶ ̶g̶i̶a̶n̶t̶ ̶t̶r̶i̶a̶n̶g̶u̶l̶a̶r̶ ̶w̶e̶d̶g̶e̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶c̶h̶e̶e̶s̶e̶ square with solid edges
would be cool if you fall off the edge of the flat earth when you hit the border like in pirates of the carribean 3
Verra (the world) isn't flat. It's a globe. We can't circumnavigate it though.
no release dates yet
check out the last stream in #news and you can judge for yourself

If we all die then at least the mutants will be entertained one day.
my post was not a troll mods
This large of a MMO takes time, I’m amazed at how much they’ve done already in such a short time.
Obviously the more employees will speed up development, but having them all make similar feel things or breathtaking environment also takes time. Things take time, so be patient and wait. And in the meantime, play some other great games.

Just wondering how NODE Type is determined. Because if I'm in a NODE and see that it isn't the TYPE I want early on, I want to move on to a NODE Type that I like
Will you be able to know right of the bat what NODE Type your in, or will you have to wait till the NODE advances to level 3 to find out
thanks for the info

that is what we know about what you get
Thank you
I can't wait to see more about Secondary classes. I need to see my Shaman abilities..lol
if you gain nothing from them, whats the point of having them then?
you gain augments for your abilities
like a tank charge that teleports to target instead of rushing in
Your primary archetype dictates your abilities. Your secondary archetype dictates your augments. So a Shaman would be a Cleric + Summoner. This means you'd only have Cleric spells but those spells would be augmented by the Summoner's augments
I guess I just have to wait to see how the augments will work
@glad oracle https://youtu.be/m45n4CTfqlU?t=3947

So here's a weapon type question, will fist weapons (punching daggers, brass knuckles etc) be a thing as development continues?
Currently there is no intention to bring in fist weapons. You can check out the list of planned weapons below
Yeah I was reading up on the weapons which led me to wonder if they were starting to plan any other weapon types.
Random question: in the lore, the 4 main races (split into 2 of each), all lived on Verra before the fall, and of course Ashes takes places as the races have returned to Verra. My question is whether the racial cities will exist in Verra as described in the lore, or will they be ruins? If they do exist, how will they compare to nodes?
The return to Verra happens thousands of years after the departure, so ruins are more likely to be seen than still standing cities @strong holly
There are areas of ruins already shown in previous A1 gameplay footage. Dungeons that are built into old architecture. I am not sure if the lore in A1 hinted as to who owned them or something like that - but it DOES exists. What it means and what their stories are is probably something we won't see until launch as they probably don't want to tell the story too much before launch.
So I just looked at the lore and it appears the recordings of the races take place 25 years BEFORE the fall
So ruins seems very likely
Should be cool to stumble upon the old dwarven capital
Dünheim history
During the great calamity that befell Verra, the inhabitants of Dünheim elected to remain in their mountain keep. This didn't work out well for them. In the wake of the destruction many artifacts and treasures were left behind.[59]
Hi guys! All good?
Will the game have pt-br support at some point?
Brazilian community is looking forward to the game's release. 😁
https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Regions#Localization these are the languages that will be there when the game comes out there may be more but at least these will be there
Thanks! ❤️
Hi guys, it's been a little while since I followed dev news. I just wanna ask, is the combat and movement animations still placeholder and will be polished later right ?
Also any info on block/parry mechanics ? I know it was under consideration a while ago but idk if something was said about this since then
they are still reworking/working on combat and haven't shown anything yet
thank you
we're possibly getting some combat updates in the march or april dev updates.
From what I know most stuff like animations aren’t gonna be done til later, it’s first pass
I have a question about PLAYER HOUSING. Don't think it's been updated on AOC wiki. I recall several month to a year ago Steven doing a video and talked about it and either they were still deciding or had decided on only One STATIC HOUSE per account, instead of one per character, otherwise you could have all your characters have an a house in every level 3 and up TOWN
I know that you can only have 1 FREEHOLD per account
the information on the wiki is current
Player housing comes in the form of Static housing, Apartments and Freeholds. A player may own up to 1 of each type of housing simultaneously. Static housing and Apartments are one per server; Freeholds are one per account.
Q : Freeholds specifically are locked one per account?
A : Correct. – Steven Sharif Q : If I put an alt on a different serve...
Yes I read that already. But after recalling what I remember Steven saying in his video it seems that it might not be the case. Because I believe that he said your account can only ever be attached to one node, or that your account can only have One Static House. But I guess Well have to wait and see
When they change their plans from "might" to definite it will be reflected. But as it stands it is per-server per character for static housing and apartments.
And no, he said that your citizenship can only be attached to one node. Not your house.
In order to get citizenship in a node, you have to have player housing there first.
Housing isn't finalized. Nodes aren't even finalized. We will need to wait for a definite answer. Anything steven says is subject to change
Are the caravan skins for all races?
omg its the number 1# hero(just wanted to add that) all skins can go on each race, but if there are different themed skins for all races, i dont know
@vernal urchin 😂 One punch man, thanks for that. Thanks for the info!
Each race has there own aesthetic, the same items can be used but they will look different. There’s most likely a base caravan look, or maybe 1 look for each race. Beyond that it’s most likely unlocked
none of the skins are race-locked, you can use them on any character
Have they mentioned adding spell casting animations to different weapons? Say you're using fireball and have a staff equipped, instead of casting the spell with your hands while holding the staff or sword, you start generating the spell effects on you and the weapon then as you send it, the spell travels down in a pulse along the length of the weapon and fires off the end of the weapon
No they haven't mentioned that
Very cool idea
I think they recommend posting suggestions on the forums so they can see them
Ok cool thank you @dark jungle And I'll do that when I finish work thank you @minor ruin
The issue with having lots of different and unique animations is the budget and dev time. I remember a year or so ago someone asked a question like whether the different races would have different animations for the spells and Jeff said that while that is something they'd love to do, it would require a much bigger animation team and it just isn't feasible with their current budget
That’s the expected response. Especially when you factor in every class being able to use every weapon. The list of extra animations gets pretty long
Of course, project creep is a real thing. We can just present ideas and they can decide what to do. I feel some of features of UE5 allowing shared animations as a base that can be modified could make this possible but yeah, up to the team. We all want the game asap haha, but we also want it to be the best MMO to date which takes time and I'm glad they are doing it right
There is already a forum thread about it. https://forums.ashesofcreation.com/discussion/comment/273863 People remember them saying they wouldn't do it due to the work involved but no source for that
I have a question, I recently watched the node videos on the ashes of creation yt channel and it gives an example of gaining node xp by collecting wood and mining, so Will we have like mining and lumbering professions learned when we first start playing the game or do we complete other varieties of tasks to unlock the node to like level 1 and 2 and then learn these professions
Not planned as stated but i think theres good potential for more weapons to be added post launch in expansion's ect
Is there anything luck depended to progress currently?
Like in Lost Ark, you need to Upgrade your Equip to +?? with a % chance to success to continue with the Story/Quests etc. (I know that system doesnt exist in AoC, but maybe something similar elsewhere currently)?
There are drop chances. But no luck based upgrades afaik. Steven still has trama from Archeage early days
over enchanting is rng
yeah, they do have overenchanting, which is rng and has a chance to destroy, details need to be fleshed out still though, it seems to be an only high endgame thing, for bis, from what ive gathered, to keep high end gear from flooding the ah
im not sure though
Will AoC still go with the season changes per week in all biomes? like spring(week 1) summer(week 2) fall(week 3) winter(week 4) spring (week 5) and so on.
its not final yet
that is what we know
niice thanks!
Getting into animal husbandry, my original thought was that you could crossbreed species into a new subspecies (cat x dog = catdog). After the livestream I feel its more of a sub trait like an element or something. This reminds me of Monster Rancher 2 (firedog x icecat = firecat/icedog). Do we have any information on this specific aspect of breeding?
Animal husbandry is a profession within the processing artisan class.
Animals found through taming can be bred to discover lesser-known species variants with untold powers and abilities.
Mounts, such as horses are an early gateway into the Animal husbandry profession.
Animal husbandry will be an exploritative profession. Many animals that can be t...
all of the information we have is on there ^
Well, I think that in the last stream they mentioned that we could even cross species in to a new species if we gp deeper in the profession.
Correct, that is in the section on genetics in the above article
Info mainly based on A1 and could change: Players started with the most basic version of mining/herbalism/lumberjacking/fishing trained which allows you to harvest the resources in area around starting portal which exists outside of node system. Still had to acquire the tool to do so though, which had a quest to direct players towards it, that could be done at level 1 (after killing about 10 mobs to afford the tool). Resource tier 2 spawned around T1 nodes, resource T3 spawned around T2 nodes. Resource T4 spawned around T3 nodes. See https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Gathering
thats actually really helpfull, thanks I also feel like having the basics is not a bad idea at all becuase you wouldn`t mattter to go many places at the start at the game
Guess I should have read more. I have spent hours in the wiki. thought I knew it all lmao.
It changes constantly as we get new info
So if I choose the predator class (rogue/ranger) would I get both passives? That referring to the treasure finding and trap finding.
Or the secondary class is only for strictly skill augments and you can't get the passives?
Okay perfect thank you.
are discord roles automatically assigned? i am a backer but i only have member role
Roles affect which channels you have access to. If you are not a backer that needs access to special channels you will not have that role assigned. There are no special roles for anything A2 and beyond atm.
Roles are automatic when you link your ashes account with discord. https://discord.ashesofcreation.com/
Yeah I've linked my discord but I got nothing haha I have leader of men
You could try restarting your discord or contacting customer support
Here's a more specific question, I don't know if there's already an answer 😄
Just read the Kickstarter Texts again
It is mentioned at Races & Classes that Quote: "Our goal here is to create a system where an elven fighter feels different, but serves the same role as a dwarven fighter."
Do we already have an example for this? Or is that still in progress since they still work on the combat system?
Does anyone know what exactly that means?
That the races just have different attributes or maybe just the animations look a little different?
Or should the skills really behave differently?
skills are not affected by race is what that means
you do get different starting stats from different races but fighters from different races have the same sets of skills
Are skills affected by stats .. such as higher strength would yield more resources when mining?
no
Are server merges going to be problematic with how vastly different each server is in terms of nodes / story.
What happens when one server is really low populated for some reason
My assumption is we can server transfer at will and keep everything except guild and node.
Yes, IS will try not to have this problem arising in the first place.
Server transfers wont be that easy as u assume ( server transfers wont be a common thing and will likely just be possible if its needed because the server gets merged w/e)... U cant take Titles with u if they never existed on the other server or if someone else already owns it ( server firsts f.e.)...same with gear - uniques or even 'normal' gear cant be transfered to another server if the dungeon u got it from, never existed on the other server...Freeholdspots will be gone...etcetc
Their won't be server transfers initially. And you won't get to take anything except BOA stuff basically so as to not mess with the new servers economy.
So make sure you're picking a server you really want to be on.
They have said that they don't want people transferring on a whim. They plan to make it painful, through penalties and cost.
Even if the races equip the same armor, there will be a different look. Different engravings and such. Same with buildings and other things affected by race.
So if a server is dying you pay a price :c
Server dying probably not
A server merge is different than a voluntary transfer. They have yet to give clarification on their plan for server merges after launch in the case of low pop. They have just said they have a plan, it is a good plan, and they are sticking to it.
Most likely it’ll be a free transfer, but you’ll lose some of your stuff. Unless it gets soul bound so you can’t sell it.
(Only for dying servers and other specific cases)
They originally said they would be able to throttle the rates at which nodes lvl/develop if a server has lower population. Not sure if that’s still in the cards but it is a possibility.
Well massive pvp in lower pop servers wont be as memorable since not as many people as a large pop server. So I see them moving people so they’ll keep playing
I'm still waiting for an explanation on how to do local pricing for countries that won't have servers, eg Turkey.
They're not planning to
If a region doesn't have a server then they'll have to play on the nearest server to that region, e.g. Europe for Turkey
Which means you'll need to pay the standard fee
Good Day My name is Vyacheslav, I'm from Ukraine, we have a war. . Can I play a little before they kill me
if the war lasts until alpha 2 then sure
I've been waiting for this game for 4 years
best case we will have alpha 2 by dec this year but most likely will first be next year some time
That would be awful, there are a lot of countries that will be connected to the EU server that can't pay $15 per month.
True, but how do they fix that without allowing people to VPN and get a cheaper sub price that way?
if they do make it harmonized then they will have there own server they won be able to play with the normal servers
The only solution I can think of is to play through Steam and use the country's own card.
but the game will not be released on Steam.
they wont do steam no reason to give them 30%
I don't think they can open a server for every country, at best only Russia will have one. (Of course, I don't know if they want it under current conditions)
Please move discussions down to a discussion channel 
Stay safe, and inside. And they won’t kill you. Make sure you pay attention to government announcements warnings. And you’ll play soon
Anyone know if @idle siren has played Elden Ring and if so, has taken a look at the character creator for it? It's really nice...
I actually found it incredibly difficult to make a decent looking character with. The feature that was nice was the one that showed you a collection of faces similar to the one you made but tweeked slightly.
i actually agree with that
i used a base template and just tweaked a few settings and then looked at "similar" faces
that said..i have some seen some very talented ppl make amazing characters using their creator
Can devs consider renaming Empyrean to Empyrian as their ancestors were Pyrian? triggers my OCD
when we getting the game
When it is ready
how do I transfer my discord alpha roles to a new account? or do I need to contact some mods
You can unlink and re-link your Discord account here: https://discord.ashesofcreation.com 
tysm
will my 1080TI will be able to run this game in 4k?
if alpha 2 is out there will be available alpha 2 packs if i decide to take it ?
or must do it now ?
As Alpha 2 is expected to be ongoing for a long time after its announced you will most likely be able t buy alpha 2 keys while alpha 2 is active. but if you want the current cosmetic to go with, then you need to buy now
im so temped to buy alpha 2 pack... but no rush
Idk if you guys know but do Intrepid Studios have an internship program?
Thanks 😊 love your contents @simple ether
You should be able to run it fine.
Any word on the alpha 2?
Frognar when?
never
Thanks for destroying my dreams
How long on avg does a support ticket take?
I don't think its that big a rush, just was curious if i was going to miss out on the dwarf cosmetics.
unfortunate, but alas is my own fault
March 9th is the change over date, you have till then if you want these dwarf cosmetics
Support was very quick. got the cosmetics 🙂
Oh, thanks
Does anyone know what the next cosmetics are?
No
We'll generally get a news post about them the day before they're due to swap out.
Will you be able to obtain racial skins in game or was the angel/demon racial skins the only ones that will come out?
Thanks for letting me know 😄
That was a teaser for the reveal of the female Py'rai 
ahh!
how much would it cost to get into beta?
The devs have mentioned the possibility of future racial skins, as speculative non-confirmed plans in the future. Undead and Werewolf skins were mentioned.
For the packages that include the betas they are 75$ Beta 2, 150$ Beta 1 - There will also be opportunities to win beta keys in the future.
will there be a wipe after the game fully launch?
No progress carries over to the live servers at least. There's the possibility that the alphas/betas might have some cosmetics that can be earned that carry over (Apocalypse testing did for example). The Alpha 2 server becomes the public test server at launch.
aight got it, thanks btw!
Keep in mind, you aren’t paying 75 for just a alpha/beta key. But to give serious feedback to help them improve the game. If you are a hardcore player, tell them what you think from that perspective. Things say may affect the final game, so that’s why the price is steep. To make sure people that are serious about making an amazing game are there.
is there an asia server for aoc?
There's planned to be a South East Asia server
Is there a person who streamed AoC and has VOD on his channel? i really want to watch some vods
Well the last streamable test was 7 months ago so I doubt it
Might as well just search for Alpha 1 footage on YouTube, there'll be plenty there but it's basically all pointless to watch because almost everything is getting changed in some way
Yes i know it will change, just wanted to watch because im too excited for the game to do nothing lmao xD
Can always read the wiki
There is a person named Asmongold that played one of the alphas.
I did that already
I watched all his aoc videos :D
I don’t think we can keep up lmao
Don't think you've read everything
You can go to the sources at the bottom and waste more fun
is there any asian guild requirment chat or something like that
Jahlon has 3 8 hour videos that were recorded through Alpha play. It’s not just gameplay it’s answering about a million questions too
any news on when alpha 2 is?
no
Thanks, i bought alpha 2 like 2 years ago thought i may have missed it
Plenty of time left before it starts
yo, Alpha is coming ?
Hey guys, hope you're having a great day! I've got a question, and I thought maybe someone here could help me with that.
When aoc?
No dates best Guess for Alpha 2 is Dec this yer
Hello, I have a question, will we have only one server for Europe or will we have more than one for each region ? Thanks
There will be multiple servers per region; in A1 we had 2 EU servers
There'll be more than one for each region
Ok, so for example, if one server will be called "Stars", and another called "sky". Do you plan to put one TAG for languages for the server?
In order to help communities to join and play together.
For example;
(German + english) Stars
(Spanish + english) Sky
At the moment there's no plan for that, as the game language is mostly written there's no need to filter down the playerbase that way. So people will be able to join whichever they want and it'll be upto players if they wish to keep to their native language community or branch out.
Okay, thanks :)
I have a question please, If I buy a bundle 75$, will I be able then to buy an individual item, Like buy only a mount or just a skin of any bundle
You'll be able to buy future accessorise cosmetics, not the other ones as they are part of higher tier packs
No, you'll only be able to buy the accessory of that tier
You need the voyager plus package to buy from any tier
I got it, Thanks
is there going to be custom guild cloaks for all guilds or is only for the people who bought the Leaders of men kickstarter package?
as far as we know its only for the the leader of men and above
this is all we know about them
i hope all guilds will be able. it would be really cool to see it on the battlefield of sieges
What about guild tabards?
There will be tabards in game. As to guild cloaks, there may be custom ones available, just not guild themed. Since the ones in the LoM tier are marked as KS exclusive. Further clarification and guidance needed.
Could there be an option to make say a guild cloak with a yellow duck on it, and your guild is called the Duck Cluckers that matches it, so you could say it is "guild themed?" Possibly.
Is there any way, other than promoting, sharing, donating money, and being a Alpha2/Beta tester, for me to help you guys? 100% Disabled vet with a lot of free time and an old school, pro gamer.
Have you pressed that subscribe and like on all their monetized social media. That is free.
The last we heard in 2018, Intrepid was talking about not locking the servers to a particular language but separating the EU region by language type (which sounds like tagging the servers by language but not strictly enforcing it) see https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Servers#Localization @rancid cypress
The devs do find people participating in their dev discussions where they ask the community a question helpful. Their currently asking for feedback on the appearance of the races https://forums.ashesofcreation.com/categories/aoc-general-discussion for example https://forums.ashesofcreation.com/discussion/51841/player-feedback-request-ren-kai-race-feb-2022#latest https://forums.ashesofcreation.com/discussion/51988/player-feedback-request-kaelar-female-feb-2022#latest It's also nice for you to just hang out with the community, show up for a livestream watch party, post some dank memes in general discussion, or bring up some theorycraft.
been thinking about it but when the game comes out do you have to buy it first and if your sub ends can you really not enter the game at all?
There is no box cost for the game, only a subscription. And yes, like any other subscription-based game, you can only log on if your sub is active.
Stupid question here and almost guaranteed to have been asked before. If I buy the pre order pack. Does it give access straight away to the beta or would I need to wait for a phase? I can't wait any longer 😂
You have to wait for the beta 1 or 2 phase depending which you purchased. Right now we're waiting for the alpha 2 phase to begin.
No, only voyager packs give access to alpha 2
And guessing all 4 give beta?
More details here :
https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Pre-order_packs
https://ashesofcreation.com/shop
Ahh yes I see it now Ty!
Yes. All 4 give beta 2 access. Beta 1 access is for expeditionary and higher.
Yea that's a good way of doing it tbh. 🔥
Hello, how is the latency for SEA/OCE players? Do you have use VPN forAoC to be playable?
There were no OCE/SEA servers for Alpha1, so we can't say anything about the ping yet; but there will be OCE/SEA servers available closer to launch
(AoC is currently still in development)
!wiki servers
The world will be the same on each server, but Nodes will develop differently. Different servers will have different narratives. Things that happen on one server may not happen on another.
Servers will be named after the champions of the great battles that led up to the fall of Verra. There will be a multitude of servers located throughout the var...
What did the quests look in alpha 1? Were they just fetch/kill quests or somate else
i thought they changed it for a au server?
Final determination of OCE/SEA server location has not been announced.
will there be multiple servers in the oce region? :0
Servers will have a limit on the number of players. - yes there will be several
oh nice
**More details here : **
https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Server_population
https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Regions
Server number and availability will be determined closer to launch. Intrepid has internal numbers that will shift and move over the course of development. They can't tell you how many in each region, cause they don't even know yet.
I just checked on ExitLag and AoC is on the list. I might have to use it if ever I play on the next phase.
Can the skins gained from packs be applied right away or are they earned in game?
