Is there a lore reason for the Mohawk/Horse Hair Helms I keep seeing in the art (huge fan of Greco/Roman stuff) My brain just went to lost god of war or some ancient hero stuff ? Or is it just convergent common fashion for fighters in the world ?

For these founder packs... Does whatever package you purchase you still have to buy the game for via $60 or whatever come launch day?
So if I dropped $75 then later on I still need to spend another $60?

No, the game doesn't have a box cost, only the sub
the packs all come with some subscription time so you could play on launch day without paying anything more

Hello everyone, I have a quick question as I keep getting conflicting information. I have read that players are only flagged as a combatant for 90 seconds, if they don't attack another player in that time they revert to a non-combatant. Is this a way around ever getting corrupted status? If combatants don't generate corruption and you just make sure to wait 90 seconds before each fight, you will just bounce back and forth between non-combatant and combatant? Or am I missing something?
full badger
I don't believe we've been given a specific number for how long someone is flagged as a combatant for, but no, that's not how corruption works. The full breakdown for it can be found at the wiki

Yeah, and I know it could very well change going forward. I was just wondering if I was thinking of it correctly or missing something.
spiral pine
Well for starters you dont lose combatant status if youre corrupted
signal inlet
Your default state is non-combatant. So every time you attack someone there is a risk you kill them and gain corruption. If they happen to be low health and you kill them in your initial attack you will gain corruption. If you are looking to fight without gaining corruption you will have to hit them once and then wait to see if they flag up as well

So my question is, down the road are there going to more diverse cosmetics that better differentiate the difference between male and female characters? Because as of right now the differences in appearance are negligible at best. there are only 3 sets that i can see where its easy to tell which is male and which is female.
its difficult because for the sake of realism, it doesn't make sense for most things to be mostly unisex. because stylistically yes they should be similar, but the general appearance should be vastly different so you can identify whos male and whos female.
im not in any sense saying to sexualize any apparel or gear. thats not what im saying at all. im saying make them DISTINCT.
in 3 sets
thats it

Question. When it comes to crafting recipes, in alpha-1 recipes were one time use. How does someone forget a recipe after it is learned? will this change in the future to be less frustrating and make more sense to players? How are craftsman supposed to make a living in game when they have to constantly purchase recipes to craft the same mid tier item, on top of purchasing the materials needed to craft?
onyx knoll
I wouldn't take any of the alpha 1 crafting content as anything representative of the final game
it was just very basic stuff put in place to test some of the possibilities

when it comes to gear durability if an item is beyond repair and breaks and there are not ample crafting recipes then the player would SOL so this seems really inefficient as well

yeah but if youre doing crafting as a profession this severely limits their capabilities, plus in A1 you didnt have a recipe book, it just consumed it and even with a crafting book its still consumed, it doesnt make sense. thats why were asking about this topic

this purely doesnt make sense since there are limited mats so you cant spam build recipes anyways.

We don't really know at this point. The APOC version of action combat let bows shoot out to draw distance basically (which was also the last time we saw bows), but I think most people assume it's going to be scaled back from that. In Alpha 0, the bows had a similar range to the A1 wands.

ruby swift
There may be various npc races that in the future could be expanded up. There is already the corrupted avian race. They have addressed adding new races in a previous livestream. Essentially it a cost/time factor during development. Any new race added means new animations, cultural node advancements added to the world manager, and the list goes on of base systems and mechanics affected. While everyone has their wants, the 9 races they have committed to are already extremely ambitious. Scope creep when they have not even delivered a playable base client for A2 is probably not going to happen. But who knows what the future may bring.

Hey guys, I know that the combat system hasn't been finalized yet and we know little about it until now.
But do you think that there will be other "commands" or macros in addition to the active skillbar that we have?
In WoW, for example, you have several bars where you can combine CTRL, ALT, Shift etc. with the numbers or use a mouse with 5-12 additional buttons for Mounts, Potions, Grenades etc.
Or will it be limited to the skills and a minimum of additional buttons?

If I recall correctly you can have up to 30 abilities on your bar. However they decide to do that I'm sure the keybinds will work just fine. I doubt any of the devs will wake up, go to work, and then say "I'm gonna make a crappy keybind system for all these extra skills! bwahahahaha"

Ashes uses as of last info a skill point system for archetype abilities. If you meant will you be able to bind 3 different abilities to 3 different keys like above, then yes. If you mean in the case of a heal will you have access to the level 1, level 2, and level 3 heal ability at it's various tiers, then no. Fireball for an example. At level 1 it was single target damage, at level 2 it added a dot to that damage (memory fuzzy, and these are just examples as all skills are still WIP during the combat revamp) and at level 3 it was damage, dot and aoe. So if you had placed points into tier 3 fireball, that would be what you had.

Has the team been heavily and/or looked into other recent mmo launches/ gameplay in the west and are they taking into a what they did well and also what they did… not so well. New World and Lost ark are two good examples and the goods and the bads- New world being praised for their sound design yet lacking in content area and other areas while Lost ark is praised for combat but pacing is giving people headaches. Also really bad server issues and bugs mainly on new works end plague new mmos which I hope ashes wont be as bad as new world in that sense.

This might sound dumb, but if a guild were to dominate a server, would top guilds from different servers have an arena based combat to compete in pvp? i think thatd be cool. One top guild from one server may be completely different from the next. Unless the system itself sort of ensures there arent perma dominant guilds
desert ivy
Arena is most likely going to be cross-server, but there's nothing to really stop guilds from dominating a server.
If guilds do dominate then the server needs to come together to try and stop them from dominating
fierce salmon
Thats fine with me sounds like fun, just in regards for the top dogs, it would be fun for them to compete across server too. sounds like a great system its just teh waiting thats gunna kill me now haha

Seeing the Py’rai node/buildings/environment made me a little confused on how that would fit in other settings. It’s very in tune with like a fertile/forest/grassy area. But what if a bunch of Py’rai become the majority in a node in the snowy mountains, or god forbid a desert. Will these same buildings that are made of trees and such pop out of the sand or snow?
Or will the buildings adapt to the surroundings. So Let’s say Py’rai are just in love with nature and living within nature. Instead of trees popping out of sand. They would use sandstone bc that’s molding nature to be their homes

You get your own 20 or more people and push them out. The flagging system can allow you to "puff your chest of sorts" to intimidate them out by starting combat but not killing the would-be holders of the dungeon. They can either back off, fight back or die to the boss if they choose to stay. The current system states each dungeon will be able to sustain a certain amount of groups simultaneously, so you won't just have one party controlling the entire thing.
vale cape
Well that's definitely a little better ..I'm just not a fan of open world dungeons because instead of feeling like I'm delving into a long forgotten tomb full of mystery and tension around every corner I feel like I'm following a crowd through a haunted house waving my hands in the air goin "ooOoOo" lol so I was just kinda hoping there be some way of preseving that sense of adventure with them really

So I looked around and couldn't find anything about this on the faq, maybe I just missed it though. I was wondering about what Intrepid is planning when it comes to botting and how they plan to combat it?
While having GMs and players report them when they are found is fine and periodically mass banning bot accounts is good, I believe an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure when it comes to this issue. It would be better to stop as many of them as possible before they could even take a single step in game.
I was wondering if you guys at Intrepid ever considered adding a captcha after loading into a server or something similar to help prevent mass scale botting before they even have the chance to do damage instead of just being reactionary and do damage control after the fact? Maybe IP bans as well? The more barriers and hurdles bad actors have to get through to be able to bot the less bots will end up getting through after all.
This actually is something I am concerned about because I am most interested in AoC's economy and will probably be spending the majority of my time in game just making money and hoarding it cause I'm just a goblin like that.

How is Ashes going to avoid the overarching problem with the mmo genre where players feel forced to level to max as soon as humanly possible?
spiral pine
Thats an individual mindset issue
fluid needle
ashes is emphasising the journey over the destination by having a lot of content be accessible from beginning to end. a lvl 1 and lvl 50 can both defend a node or attack a caravan but they would both perform different roles due to their difference in power.

The lvling process will be partially gated based on the speed the nodes lvl.

The lvling process will be partially gated based on the speed the nodes lvl.
But this will only be the case for new servers. Once nodes get established, leveling will no longer be gated because the server will have content for all levels.

Hello all. I'll spare us all any questions about the release date or access to Alpha2, as you're probably already sick of these questions and can only be answered with a well-intentioned guess anyway. What I am interested in is if there is a detailed roadmap, like the one you know from Pantheon's Producers' Letter (another MMORPG project). I know the AoC release schedule, but perhaps smaller milestones on the way to Alpha2 have already been announced?!

The way they've explained it, doubling down on an archetype would make you very strong at what they do but a lot less versatile. So for exemple, a cleric+cleric might have the most raw healing, but they would have very little escape tools or survivability compared to a cleric+rogue or cleric+tank. It'll depend a lot on your playstyle and the kind of content you prefer. In PvE you might be able to do well with cleric+cleric, but it might end up being pretty bad in PvP since you'd be a squishy sitting duck that would get focused and instantly taken out
(those are just random exemple of what could be that i made up based on how they've explained the concept, not actual exemple they gave)

ok sounds cool i was just thinking that the classes that the same arch/subclass may not be as rewarding as mixing and matching the others

it depends on what you want to get out of your character. do you want to be a powerful but cookie cutter class or do you want extra utility that you can get from a different secondary.

ok thx
gentle oak
I really hope that we will have cross-server ranked arenas for both solo and premade Q, hopefully with two separated ladder systems (sort of similar to league of legends, where you have soloQ and flex). In fact, regarding MMOs, only WoW shows a competitive arena tournament and I really wish that Ashes of Creation will be able to do much better in terms of pvp, allowing players to participate in organized tournaments and so on
desert ivy
Well a lot of the PvP focus for Ashes will be in the open-world, not arenas (though there will be arenas with probable cross-server)
signal inlet
If there is cross class synergies like they have mentioned a solo queuing system would be terrible
desert ivy
Well 1v1 arenas are planned
Won't be balanced at all, but it'll be fun and could help people learn how to play against their counters
gentle oak
Lash i think you are wrong on this, because look at Lost Ark for example...in that game there are some class synergies but the soloQ turns this into an RnG factor, meaning that towards an infinite number of arena matches that you play, statistically it will balance itself. Plus, premade Q are also truly necessary because everyone wants to be able to play with friends and to organize team compositions and strategies (that is in fact the reason why the Lost Ark pvp died in 1 week after ranked release)
So basically what I am saying is: SoloQ will teach you how to play pvp in the most hardcore way possible and PremadeQ will be awesome in terms of team coordination

Zone of Influence - Leveling/Mobs Question:
Per this map. Will low level mobs be present closer to each node center location?
Let’s say node 6(alpha)
- center is level 1
- 100 yards - 10
- 200 yards - 20
- 300 yard - 30
- 500 yards - 50
Then we have node 5(beta)
- center is level 1
- 100 yards - 10
- 200 yards - 20
- 300 yard - 30
- 500 yards - 50
Then let’s say Node 6 alpha becomes a city and takes over the zone of influence of 5 beta.
Now you have
- center is level 1
- 100 yards - 5
- 200 yards - 10
- 300 yard - 15
- 500 yards - 20
- 1000 - 40
-2000 - 50
ancient egret
this is rly not something we can answer at all right now perhaps we will know when alpha 2 comes out
lime acorn
ah okay, I recall in Alpha 1. the center of each Node was low level. Father away from center the higher the level.
But I am not sure if that is how it will be or that was answered or not. Also how the node increasing its influence affects the area.

lime acorn
Yea I read that. Wasn’t clear enough or I just don’t grasp it with my pea brain.
But if it is what I’m thinking and hoping that would be cool!!
- Closer your are to center of the node that is the highest level node in the zone of influence. The lower the mobs
- Farther away from center of the highest level node in that influence the higher the mobs.
- Existing dungeons: depending on the area. In a more developed node might become a higher level farther you go down. Or closed or become a new dungeon. Example: level 20 dungeon next to the node… once that node levels up it stays a level 20 dungeon but a new tunnel opens up to level 40 mobs etc.
lime acorn
Ssomething like the visual representation. If this isn't how it is; if anyone else has better clarity on it. That would be awesome. Thanks. They might have not covered this much detail into the system yet. So maybe Alpha 2 will be more of a reveal.
tender hearthBOT
lusty kite
Sounds like a great question for the next live stream
dark jungle
the goal at least is to have a spread of mob levels over the zoi
We don’t have a strictly level 25 zone. Instead, that zone might have some level 10 creatures near the road, some level 20 creatures deep in the forest, and some level 30 creatures up the mountain. These ratios will change based on the Nodes that inform them, becoming generally more dangerous as the Node grows. All this civilization attracts the attention of Things-That-Should-Not-Be. This does not mean that wilderness areas are safe, by any means. Some may be safe-er, but all will have dangers that even the most experienced traveler needs to watch out for.[4] – Steven Sharif

For the cosmetic packages every month i have many questions. Are these costumes for every race? applicable in every instance that "could" accommodate a skin?
Are these one piece applications(pants/shirt/cape) or a "set" meaning you cant mix cosmetics together
as for the mounts, every acquired mount can use a skin? meaning yu can buy a selected mount or so and apply a cosmetic skin to it?

costumes are for every race
only the costumes are 1 piece. the other cosmetic accessories are per slot

All gear skins can be applied on any character regardless of race and gender. The "one piece" cosmetics are mix and match, you can use them on the appropriate armor slot to overwrite the appearance of the piece you have equipped. Full costumes work differently and can't be modified they overwrite your full gear appearance.
Mount skins can be equipped on any mount of the same tier, there are 4 mount tier; tier 1 (ground mount), tier 2 (gliding), tier 3 (flying) and tier A (aquatic). This month's skin is for tier 1 mounts.

It's possible but probably way too early to say. Try hards will definitely figure it out in beta and alpha and abuse it if so, then intrepid will probably balance it.

Mount skins can be applied to the appearance of mounts that were earned in game.[25][26][46][66] These are applicable to specific classes (tiers) of mounts.[5]
For example, the Ramstrider skin will only be applicable to the class of land mounts (tier 1), and the Nighthunter Gryphon skin is only applicable to the class of royal mounts (tier 3).

Do we know if pvp balancing will be different than pve balancing. For example, some games have X ability do 15 damage to PVE mobs but think it’s too OP in PvP so they make that same ability do 10 against a player. Considering PvE encounters value completely different things than PvP encounters value, I know some games take this approach. For example, instant cast spells that u can use while kiting are for more valuable in PvP. So classes that have those abilities doing lots of damage might be favored. Or abilities that have a secondary effect like a slow or snare

No, PvE and PvP balance aren't separate

They haven’t done a lot of the big content stuff yet like classes, and the combat revamp. They want to test all that in alpha 2. They are still working on that. Still need to flesh out many of the professions too. Like alpha 2 is a long ways away. Check the wiki of alpha 2 to see all the stuff they plan on testing. They haven’t finished any of that stuff.
It is smart to release it during a long break like summer. Or winter break. But since it’s a persistent alpha that doesn’t end, it’s release timing isn’t super important. If you want a good estimation. Expect some time next year. Early or mid 2023?
Thought I’d give you a more detailed answer. 👍🏾

I know after release they've stated monthly cosmetic during pre-release are not available for purchase, but has there been any mention about a time frame pre-release that the previous months cosmetics would be available to purchase from, like how Kickstarters have a short window after the KS closes to get last minute KS exclusives?
desert ivy
No, the cosmetics from the monthly packs were one and done, they won't be coming back for sale
tranquil willow
golden sparrow
In order to own a Pre-Order Pack’s cosmetics, you must either purchase the Pre-Order Pack during the month that the cosmetic is featured or have purchased that level pack or higher in a previous month in order to buy the cosmetic as an add-on
So i hope i understood this well and that i will be able to buy any pack released after i did my pledge and that at any point in time. 🤞

No
If you don't buy the cosmetics while they're happening during the month that they're released then they'll never be available again. For example, this is the months pack
