Currently reading up on the origin story on the wiki, something I hadn’t thought about were the capital cities of each race. Will these be static cities with static locations in Verra? or will these be part of the node system? I would assume they would have static/set locations but I don’t want to assume anything

There are no artificial "factions" in Ashes a la Horde or Alliance. While you could start as a human in a dwarven area, the npcs have been said to offer different reactions to you based on race. There is no Underrealm starting area planned. The Tulnar were meant to have a "forward camp" on the surface that functioned as one of the portals, but that plan may be been changed to Tulnar having a small area near each of the 4 main portals that counts as that instead of a separate thing.

You can also buy later cosmetics individually after your initial purchase. These will correspond with which package you already have. Aka if it includes just accessory then you'll only be able to purchase future accessories.

Many MMORPG fail not due game play but due publisher greed and massive P2W
As well due not able to fight against all exploiter and bot in game.
That main reason why most MMORPG die so fast.
You can build perfect game play but if game will be massive P2W and full of bot, exploiter it will end same as all.
signal inlet
The main reason is that they are bad games
fading solstice
Yes they bad due publisher greed and don't have competition fight against bot and exploiter but don't blame game it self.

Will there be a giant white murder rabbit named Pooky?
topaz fern
Steven, the creative director, has prefaced Ashes, and consistently said at any point he could, that this game will not be pay to win
There’s a subscription fee to play the game
And the irl cash shop only sells cosmetics
And monster coins
As far as we know, there will be nothing else that you can buy with real money
And cosmetics don’t have any stats or relation to in game power. It’s purely just for appearance
Monster coins is a mini game essentially where you can turn into a monster and attack a node during a monster coin event. For the opportunity to win cosmetic rewards. You can also get these monster coins in game, not just from cash shop
Same for cosmetics. You get plenty of cosmetics in game. Arguably cooler cosmetics too

Hello! One more question about Housing.
Wiki says that only will be 50 apartments availabe to buy (at the stage 3 node). But after that wiki says: "Apartments are instanced and only limited in number by the increasing price"
Will be 50 apartments or will be unlimited until one has a disproportionate cost? 🥴
Thanks!
onyx knoll
Additional apartment buildings can be built at Town (stage 4) if the mayor chooses to construct them and if there is an available plot to do so.[3][4]
The number of available apartments increases as a normal part of node advancement.[4]
As the node progress, more apartment buildings can be constructed, so eventually what will limit them is their cost of construction
that's how it's understood currently, anyway
turbid terrace
the cost refers to the cost that the "node" will pay to build the apartment. not the cost of the rent that the player will pay
Something like that?
onyx knoll
afaik it's the price of the rent that'll be the bottleneck, the way they've explained it, the more units are being rented in your node, the higher the new ones will cost to rent
so at some point it won't be worth making new buildings since no one will be able to afford the rent
oh i miss-typed earlier, it's not cost of construction it's cost of rent, sorry
turbid terrace
Aaah! Understood! Thank you! 😁

obsidian river
For competitive pvp or pve, if the combat system is a hybrid why would you ever choose skillshots over tab target? Or are certain skills automatically locked as skill shots and others tab target?
desert ivy
We don't know how their new combat looks or will work, but one of the examples they've given in the past is that tab target skills won't have hard CC, only the action combat skills will be capable of hard CC
obsidian river
Ahh ok so that would make skills locked to being tab target or skillshot?
signal inlet
And from what they said and action skill will stay an action skill. Although that could change
obsidian river
np ty i just heard that all skills werent locked and you could pick between playing as action combat on everything or tab target, but that made no sense to me tbh
signal inlet
The idea is you have a plethora of skills to put points into but not enough points to buff all skills

nice like most mmos i guess

Guild wars 2 is a great example of tab targeting game that you can play in action combat mode. i was tera player and i only started playing gw2 after i saw i can play it like tera. in gw2 you can aim at enemy, click on it or tab to it. promote skill targeting in game options selects enemy that skill hits and can't be turned off with keybind. there's a keybind that lets you lock/unlock skills to an enemy. basically centers ranged skills to it. there is no tab target or freeaim only skill, you can play it however you want.

To your first part. They have said they have a 5 year legacy on hardware and software planned. That means that if it is up to 5 years old at launch, it should play Ashes. Like anything else, bring a potato to the party, expect it to get fried. To the second part, there are several settings that can be adjusted planned, but like many things you may be able to reduce them, but not remove them completely. This was explained with an example from I think it was PUBG where people would run with foliage on and think they were in cover, while others would turn it off and be able to see those people like they were standing in the open. Expect things that would give an advantage like that to not be able to be exploited.

This tech weather guy did a great job with everything else...but with rain...

that sucks. doesnt that mean that on launch day everyone will have godly looking cosmetics instead of looking like an actual level 1

Okay so i missed a note in the Wiki. To equip a cosmetic the armor must have a cosmetic slot. It sounds like not all armor will have one so the fear of day 1 cosmetics is kinda nullified
dark jungle
costumes are mostly not godly looking though

ive definitely seen godly looking costumes before

They may look higher lvl, but as far as gear cosmetic slots go, im sure you'll only start getting that gear after a certain lvl(whatever max lvl is) theyll probably make it have the ability to have cosmetics around 10-20, but im not for sure on that
dark jungle
as i said most costumes that are equippable from day one are far from looking max level
fleet shore
looking at the costume page on the wiki i disagree
dark jungle
personal opinion, but there are far better looking in-game achievable armors, and we have only seen up to level 25 renders
fleet shore
the in-game achievable armor you won't be getting at level 1 though
dark jungle
correct
fleet shore
so that's my issue
dark jungle
if you have an issue make a forum post about it. here is for questions
fleet shore
i dont want people running around minute 1 of the game looking like they're 30 levels higher than they actually are
crystal beacon
Isn't this issue solely isolated to the literal release date of the game?
Here's how I'm looking at it; tell me if I have a skewed perspective
(1) at most probably 10% of players on release date bought a $350 cosmetic pack. So at most 10% of players would have cool cosmetics equiped at lvl 1 worst case scenario.
(2) the problem diminishes if there is one; as new players won't have had access to the presale cosmetics. So it sort of reverts itself?

violet willow
- The alpha 2 will be persistent until the release of the game. you can play when you want on alpha servers.
- We have no estimated release date, IS doesn't want to rush the game so no release date, and no alpha date.
- Way more things to do, no optional PvP, and maybe good servers to play with more than 0 fps when there is many players fighting in the same place.
Don't want to say anything wrong, so I only reply to what I know for sure.
full badger
- The Voyager Plus pack contains more monthly game time, more embers (shop currency for when the game launches) and the name reservation perk.
- Persistent server means it's up 24/7 (expected some downtime due to server crashes, bug fixes, etc that might occur during testing)
- The game is mostly financed by Steven Sherif, the CEO of Intrepid Studios and the Creative Director for Ashes. Aside from that, you have the kickstarter and money from the pre-order packs and monthly cosmetics
- No idea about expected numbers for release, we'll have to wait and see
- There is no estimated release date for any future testing phases or the fully released game. Keep an eye on the #news channel for updates on this
- The difference between Ashes and New World is a very open-ended question that is better suited to the #aoc-discussion channel

There is no flag for PvP like in New World that make you PvE only. In AoC, you can kill everyone, at any moment. (There is a corruption system to prevent free PK)

Sorry this is long, and I will post this for the next stream update, but I had a question / idea.
When it comes to RNG I was curious if there will be a "world drop" loot table that has various extremely rare items that can drop from lol 1 to cap. These items could be as simple as a recipe that is only obtained via this loot table, making it not necessarily 1 per server, but almost.
Or perhaps as complex a player kills a mob, the mob drops an item that triggers a quest for that individual. Upon completion of that quest all nodes at stage X will spawn an NPC of the same race as the item finder/ quest starter. These NPC give out quests that support the item finder in a much grander quest. Like maybe the item finder has to slay a dragon and its a raid level and a special quest requiring the item finder to land the final hit, so once the boss gets down to 1 he it is immortal until the item finder slays him with a sword he had to make along the way. Like one node is tasked with constructing a sword another node tasked with another task, and all these tasks come together on a single individual player who leads the charge.

There is a small RNG chance of looting rare and legendary items or crafting materials from mobs based on the level, status and type of mob. This also applies to harvesting resources with a gathering profession.[8]
desert ivy
I think he means like a Universal drop table regardless of mob level. For example, in OSRS there's a "Rare Drop Table" that a lot of mobs in the game have as part of their standard drop table. If they roll on the rare drop table, the game will do another roll to see what item they receive from the rare drop table. This means a low level monster and a high level monster both can drop items from this table.
Altho in OSRS the rare drop table has like 0 good items on it

As a player you need to decide what content you want to interact with.

Making the game new player friendly is always a challenge with a game with a ton of moving parts. The best defense against it is staggering access to new content as you level and make it a seamless transition, a great example of this are crafting missions as you level that let's you interact with the crafting systems
So it comes down to implementation, timing, and ui design
Makes player feel rewarded for learning how to interact with the system via exp and quest rewards, it's along a popular leveling path so its always worth it to stop and do when leveling a new character so it makes veterans visit the area and maybe answer a question or two in general chat. Etc etc. Game design is always fun finding just the right balance of everything.

Do we know how exactly stealth will work in AoC? And I mean, if it can be a permanent buff that cancels when you use certain actions, if it will lower your movement speed when you have it up, etc. I know there will be a shimmer, and indicators to give the rogue away, tried looking on the wiki and didn't really get an answer.
Asking because gameplay wise, I really enjoy sneaking into enemy territory and keeping to the shadows, to gather information on the enemy. That's something I would personally REALLY like to be able to do.

Yes and no, I really like the idea of people being able to detect you if you're not careful. Like, seeing your shimmer, see the environment react to your movement, I think that's really interesting and adds more risk to it. BUT, if you do get close enough to unleash a attack, then you get the benefit of catching your enemy off guard, assuming there wont be a damage bonus/burst window. Maybe certain augments could make stealth entirely invisible but only last for like, I dunno 5-10 seconds, so only giving it a use in combat. Then if you want to use it all the time like in WoW, you wont have complete invisibility, and people will be able to find you if they look.
Like, you can either have a invisibility that is mostly for combat only lasts a few seconds, or a camo that people will be able to see you if they look, but lasts forever. Maybe toss a movement penalty on the perma stealth as well?

Odds are good they will start small and add servers if the demand is high enough. Most MMOs start huge and shrink after the first month so the game will almost certainly have a long queue in the first few weeks. If that is sustained they will probably add more servers

Ive got a question regarding the recent seasonal weather mechanics and how it will effect the economy and the prices which will go up and down. Did Steven said at any time something about perishable goods? I totally like the idea of keeping your ore together to sell it later when the price goes up but I hate when you can do it with perishable goods like fish and crops. That would make the seasons even more impactful. Players will put their bags full of stuff to generate profit from seasons and that’s cool, but it’s als immersion breaking of some sells tons of wintersquid during the summer. Kind of like the idea of not be able to store lots of certain goods. (Or store it and never get rid of the smell in your storage box 😄)

Hola guys. I have some questions about the Lore.
This information is needed for translation, so it is best if you will be sure what you are saying correct ) Thx.
There are a string in eng wiki: "The Riverlands biome was the ancestral home of the Aela and is the present day home of the Kaelar."
From what I know, at the start of the game Verra is completely empty of races and functioning cities, cause Apocalypse and Ancients are destroyed and corrupted everything on Verra.
So what does it mean by "present day home"?
And I suppose, "The Riverlands biome was the ancestral home of the Aela" means that BEFORE the Fall Aela people were mainly living in Riverlands?
dark jungle
the aela is an ancient race that no longer exists in the present day
the kaelar are the descendants of that race who decided to live in the ruins of their ancestral city
remember you are not the first to arrive on verra. many have been there before

I have a few questions regarding Enermy AI, Animal husbandry and necromancy
Regarding the Enermy AI system, is there going to be a system where players can befriend Enermy npc's and trigger some world events and work along side them, and if thats the case to what extent?
As for animal husbandry and necromancy, how many battle pets/mounts can one individual have.. As in can I have an army of pocket buffalo's or any abomination I create, and is there a possibility that if in any case your battle mount/pet dies can I resurrect it using my necro abilities as an undead battle pet with the same level..and that does apply to seige beats and dragons? Don't worry guys I'm just a humble py'rai seeking to wipe out every race for the sake of mother nature to recover, nothing personal
topaz fern
That would be so cool to like befriend the local goblin tribe, integrate them into your node. Omg. Won’t be able to do that.
Unfortunately nope.
Summoners summon their pets. So necromancers (summoner primary, cleric secondary) will most likely just have like a zombie pet or an “abomination”. We have no info whether these summons have to do with actual dead bodies. I believe it’s mostly for flavour. Although maybe u will have abilities that interact with dead bodies. But again they haven’t released any such information. As for battle pets, they are separate and you won’t be able to ressurect them as undead. As for siege beasts and dragons. Again, we don’t know what the summoner/cleric class called necromancer can do. But think of necromancer as a flavor, as opposed to a whole new class. At the end of the day ur still a summoner with summoner abilities. There aren’t 64 classes. There are 8 classes each with 8 variants.
The limit of summons is 3 btw. So u can’t just raise an army of the undead
If you wanna do what u wanna do… I’d recommend dungeons and dragons haha. Or any table top roleplayint game where the only limit is your imagination and your DM’s leniency
I find it incredibly unlikely you will be able to raise like an undead dragon after killing it. But we don’t know. We do know summons are just spells you have. You might be able to get an augment to turn your summon into a dracolich. Who knows. Prob not a huge dragon tho
But getting ur summon from killing a monster is unlikely

The more good aligned or civilization building aligned tasks that you complete, you get higher positive reputation.

I pushed English still can’t see NA English guild recruitment. When I first logged in I was able to see them. Now for some reason I can’t now. I wanted to read all the details.
My next question is I bought the 250.00 package and I can’t remember what it included.

English tag is not on your profile, click it once and wait - the bot may be having a hiccup
you can log into the site and view inventory to see what you have
if youre asking for the cosmetics specifically then cross reference the names of the cosmetics and find them on the wiki to see a visual of them

did you collapse the section
if the only english channel you couldn't see was the recruitment one then you probably had the section collapsed to only show channels with unread messages. Click the 
tag once more to regain the access, looks like you removed it

Check your inventory online on your account. It should list the items that were purchased in your pack you bought, including any testing keys.

but i doubt they will
solemn ravine
thank you for posting me that link , sad that no game studio realize what kind of a market they are losing just because the lack of TR language support, but hope is the key, I wish they can investigate the TR mmorpg player base and the possible market oppurtunities and reconsider it.

we need Turkish language 🙂 , Do you know the number of Turkish mmorpg players?

The issue is that Turkey isn't planned to get their own server which means they'll need to play on EU. The issue with that is it means the Turkish audience would be required to pay the $15 a month sub fee which drastically reduces the number of Turkish players willing to pay

civic obsidian

Those cosmetics are also non-tradeable as well. So once you buy them, they are bound to that single account forever.
agile coyote

steep jasper
There are no dates for release, or the alphas/betas, sadly. We just have to wait and watch.
