How will questing be in ashes? If you accept a quest does it give you a way point or will you have to listen to the quest giver for the info to complete the quest and read quest info etc. To many waypoints makes a game feel like a honey do list rather than an adventure game. What are your thoughts?

Since processing gives xp, can you level a charracter by only processing materials or will it have a level lock behind it ?
tulip hatch
No restrictions have been mentioned
There are just many ways to gain exp to progress your character

So it may be possible, but I bet it will be really slow process

That is likely
There will be optimal exp paths and reduced ones

Most mmo's i have played make me traverse through different regions to gain experience and fight more powerful foes. in ashes if all the regions/(nodes) level up as people play in them could i potentially not need to ever leave a node to get to max level effectively?
onyx knoll
as far as it's been explained, technically yes if you're lucky enough that the node you decided to make your "main node" is the one in the region that levels up to metropolis then you would never have to leave it to get high level mobs. That being said, not all nodes will spawn the same dungeons/monsters, so it's possible you'll need to go elsewhere for some specific drops. Plus, your node might end up getting destroyed and drop back down to lvl 0, at which point you'll need to go somewhere else for high level mobs until it levels back up
young latch
Sounds like your professions will necessitate that you go to other nodes for different resources, such as the animal handling skill to get certain phenotypes for breeding.
warped lintel
I truly believe in this game and am so excited to see it come to fruition. So I bought a bundle pack to support Ashes last May, I spent $500.00. I got access to Alpha one and some cool cosmetics and embers. I want to find out all of the other things that were associated with that purchase. I logged into the Ashes website and saw my transaction history but don't know how I can see order details. Does anyone know a way to do this?

Are the old quotes from Jeffrey Bard still considered relevant when it comes to the development of the game and the systems within? Even if there hasn't been a direct quote to discredit or negate what was said? Example above regarding mariner classes.
short flint
Yes, He was their Lead Game Developer at the time he made those statements. He and Steven worked closely together to build the game so his statements also reflected Steven's creative design. Until something that comes out and says "no" it is the best information we have. However - keep in mind that is very old data (4-years almost) and it could be scrapped or moved to a later timeline. If you are interested in knowing more about it - Ask on next months live stream Q&A forum post!

For the shipyard profession, what is the number of ships that can be created if we decide to be professionals in this? And will they have accessories like cannons? Or will there be various types of ships such as trade or war that we can make? Will the ships have cabins in which we can get into and furnish? or just roll?
I plan to be a bounty hunter tunlar whose profession is ships in the purest floki style Xd and when I and my clan detect corrupt players we will sail to the lands where these are found Xd. thanks to the map you can get almost anywhere by boat Xd
sorry for the spam and for telling you about my life the game has fanaticized me a lot and it hasn't come out yet hahaha
ruby swift
- The number of ships that can be created? As many as you have the materials for. You wont be controlling more than one at a time. They have various accessories planned that affect various stats when you build the ships. There are several classes of ships. Whether ship have internal design decorations has yet to be announced. The only reference I remember to this is that you won't be living on one like a houseboat.

Well I’m definitely going to play once it’s out I have high hopes. If I don’t get cosmetic items now will I be able to get the after the game is released at some point. That’s my concern atm. Like I don’t want to really reach into my pockets until I can be in game playing.

I’m going to do my best to make this question make sense…. Now that we know the animal husbandry system will take different physical characteristics and give the user the capability to blend the looks… how will cosmetics play a part in this system? For example will I be able to put a cosmetic on parent#1 and blend it with parent#2 (non cosmetic)?

They added teleporters just for testing because the ship mechanics have not been coded in. Once the game is live there may be options similar to the "faster travel" proposed for stables between neighboring nodes, but they want people to mainly have to get places on their own and not avoid open world conflict.

Transfer of guild leadership is possible, but mechanics on transferring leadership if a guild leader has abandoned the guild have not been finalized.[14]

I read the wiki article about player death linked above. Exactly how hard would it be to recover from dying a few times, assuming you run around and get killed by another player a few times or something?
young latch
Each death would incur experience debt and loss of gatherables. You could recoup the gatherables if no one loots your ash pile but you would need to get exp to work off the exp debt.
Any player can loot your ash pile as soon as you die. You also don't lose levels like in SWG so you won't lose power when recovering from exp debt.

To work off experience debt, you have to gain experience through any of the game mechanics that gain you experience.

can we get into all the houses of the nodes without waiting for a loading screen with a simple gesture of opening the doors and being able to see everything inside? whether they are stores, blacksmiths, or businesses made by players? or their houses if they invite us?
And how soon do you get a new pack? Xd I can already afford one and I look forward to it being one with a skin with a long cape I love the effect of the layers on the ashes it's not like rn the skyrim they are rigid Xd
desert ivy
There are 3 types of housing. Freeholds and static in-node housing would be enterable without a loading screen but you may need permissuon from the owner before you can just open the door and walk in. The instanced apartments would have a loading screen.
The pack changes every month. The pack only just changed so the next change isn't until May 11th

Hello , i hope you are doing well
i have a question about cross server activities , i hear that pvp/arena might be cross-server (i really hope it will be cross-server) but what about pve , will there be any cross-server dungeons ? or like pve raids on very hard and big dungeons where players across multiple servers can create a squadron or idk and take on the dungeon ?
i am kind of a megaserver fan , i understand that mega server don't work with the gameplay of this game but i hope there will be a lot of cross-server activities in both pvp and pve
that's the only point retaining me from pre-ordering the game !
Thank you in advance for your reply
There's no plans for cross server dungeons that we know of
The large majority of dungeons (80%) in Ashes of Creation are open-world, they're not instanced, so it wouldn't be possible to do cross-server with them
crystal beacon
thank you , and what about the 20% ? or the future dlc ?
desert ivy
20% are instanced, but they're mostly planned to be for story content, not for farming
crystal beacon
so there might not be a pve cross-server activity as we know of atm ?
desert ivy
Correct
Ashes is planned to be predominantly PvX so it's hard to do cross-server PvE only events
crystal beacon
okay , thank you

they do have different size shields yes
young latch
they wont change as they are based on your primary archetype
So we are going to have a whole separate tree for the secondary then?
dark jungle
for example tower shields
dark jungle
So we are going to have a whole separate tree for the secondary then?
no. you dont get secondary abilities
you keep your primary abilities and augment these with secondary augments
silver ridge
for example tower shields
Will having a tower shield effect my defense like adding to it more then say a kite shield or buckler would?
dark jungle
every item has different stats on it, so different types of shields will likely affect a lot of different stats
iron mauve
It might be a little complicated though since although you don't get new abilities, some of the abilities radically change they way they work. Like the fighter Rush becoming a blink means that the talent points have to be pretty generic like Cooldown times, damage boost, etc.
Like it might be tricky to make the talent points also fundamentally change the way a skill operates and the secondary archetype also does that
dark jungle
augments wont change the levels of the skills themselves
iron mauve
I get that
dark jungle
so if you augment rush and turn it into a blink then you might not like the level 3 for that, so you can take off the point and add it somewhere else for example
or vice versa
iron mauve
Yeah I could see needing to reallocate a lot of points after choosing a secondary archetype
which is fine
dark jungle
yeah, so the skill descriptions will change but this wont change the skill ui
young latch
you keep your primary abilities and augment these with secondary augments
All skills augment automatically then?
young latch
So that will be a whole separate ui then?
dark jungle
yes
augments will need a different ui just for those
or it could be a drop down from the active skills ui, depends on how they want to go i guess
since you need to go to a NPC to set augments I assume there will be a separate UI
but just a guess there
young latch
Hmm and it will probably have some kind of point buy? Or is it expected you can augment all skills over time
dark jungle
likely yes
There's going to be a certain threshold at which you can no longer augment your active abilities based on the decisions you've augmented previous abilities, so you'll have to pick and choose which ones you want to apply the augments towards; and certain augments will have more expense required on the skill point side.[25] – Steven Sharif
so adding augments will either draw on your skill point total or have some other kind of augment points to spend
either way it will cap you from having too many etc
iron mauve
So I am reading this right, the secondary archetype when chosen open up 4 schools of augmentation:
dark jungle
yes, so you will get (up to) four different augments from your secondary for each primary skill
plus you get augments from race, religion, and social org
iron mauve
And you get a skill point allotment so you obviously can't augment every single skill it sounds
young latch
Okay that's cool. I'd rather have the variety and have to make good decisions on what you need
dark jungle
^ yep
iron mauve
Is there a limitation on how many augments you can choose from each school?
Like going all Fire for instance
sleek sky
did steven really showed combat today?

Ashes will have a hardcore RP community i reckon. Ashes has the mechanics and ability to cater towards Rpers. Such as taverns and tavern games, player housing and other stuff. To RP on an MMO you still have to progress like everything else but you heavily focus on a character and incoporate emotes and such for more immersion. The thing is, there wont be dedicated RP servers like wow. (As far as im aware) So you'll be mixed in with the pvx community too.
#na-oce-guild-recruitment #eu-guild-recruitment look in these channels and see if you can find a guild which has RP.

As an rp guild leader I have to say, we play the game many times just as hardcore as any of the top tier raiding or pvp guilds. The difference is we also have story and from time to time we use game mechanics to act out an rp. Could be raiding a dungeon as a mission, or maybe we're patrolling an area around our area of influence taking out bandits or in the case of ashes fighting pkers for dominance of an area.

Would love to see the nodes changeable after a siege but I can see the programming issues with that

if nodes progress and grow so in 50 years of this game we gonna have skyscrapers and stuff
opaque birch
like wow but you know 2020+ software
stable plover
do we know how many concurrent players a single node will be able to hold?
A Node is meant to be able to hold about 1000 in combat players, it could presumably go over that if a lot of people were just standing around in town, and anyone in their apartment wouldn't count towards the number.
In terms of how many players can a node house the answer is trickier, There have to be at least 15000 apartments available on a developed server theoretically, lvl 3 nodes only have 50 apartments with number available ramping up at lvl 4 nodes, Wild speculation assumes lvl 4 has 200, lvl 5 has 800, and lvl 6 has 3200 to reach that 15000 number.
If roughly 10% of the land goes to freeholds we'd be looking at about 185 freeholds per node (not counting ZOI expansion and I assume you don't want that). For in node housing it starts off at 8 plots at lvl 3, I'll assume it gains 8 more per node level for 32 at metro stage, so 3200+185+32=3,417 max players housed within a node - I think there's a wide margin of error in how off this number could be.
young latch
Was there any particular reason nodes are rigid in what type they are?
dark jungle
yes its so the developers can achieve the game balance they want
if there were 10 economic nodes in a small area that would throw things off
if there was a perfect distribution of node types then that would probably stagnate
young latch
My understanding originally was that you could only have one node of each type
dark jungle
that has never been the case
young latch
Wondering why it wouldn't just be first come first server whoever sets up the node
dark jungle
the current design relating to node types has not changed since 2017
young latch
Just seems odd
dark jungle
because of the reasons stated above
stable plover
Another reason is probably the dungeons below divine nodes that would probably be impractical to have beneath every node.
young latch
That makes more sense tbh

it'd be sweet to have AoC in those M1/M2 Apple machines, would bring tons of players as well!

Okay so, hear me out, a friend just got me interested in the game, and told me about the genetics system, right? So theoretically, are there eugenics?
marble basin
Basically yes, I believe they talked about animal husbandry recently in one of the latest development updates. The breeding system is going to be quite intricate. Ill see if I can dig up which video it was.
Uhm I'm not sure what he told you now
The genetics and breeding mechanics are for animals only, Im fairly certain

If i remember correctly, skins will change regarding the race you're playing, but i'm pretty sure it's only concerning armour skin, not weapon skin

Speaking of races there’s no racial passives or is that further to be released?
mystic mango
If i remember correctly they said they wanted to make it so any race could play any class without a disadvantage, but i may have just made that up
sullen galleon
That’s fair, implementing things like racial passives make people want to race change in the future if they don’t like what they’ve chosen leading to micro transactions
It’s an added layer of balancing and whatnot if there’s a ‘meta’
It’s crazy that I’m going to be waiting like 2 years or more for this games full release ngl

Not like nearly every other mmo is a buggy mess
Even the guild channels are popping already

Are refund of beta keys possible?

quick question. and apologies if I missed it on the forums. has a timeframe been given for alpha 2 release yet? Thank you.

Not yet, sorry @uncut notch

Most of those things are dynamic and change as nodes progress
Pretty much everything will be different depending on how the world develops

The 4 starter zones will be the same but pretty much everything else will change

hey all, will character names be server-bound or game-bound? as in: can a character in EU server 1 have the same name as someone in US server 3 or is it more like in New World and Lost Ark?

Will AoC have a focus on instanced PvP (competitive PvP) or open world PvP?
fluid needle
Instanced PvP such as arenas will be added but it won't be the focus. A lot of the focus is on PvP such as caravans, sieges, and open world PvP.

Sucks. Wonder why people love to just zerg in mmos.

There are anti zerg mechanics thought out but will need to be thoroughly tested.

Like in many other open world/mmo game
We know secret areas in dungeons will change on a regular basis and may require specific classes to access them. Also many things will change each time the node changes so you will probably find many new unexplored areas and secret spots each time they do.

Don't hope for it in 2022, better be pessimist and be happy to see it happens sooner
