Question regarding Diversity: I notice that there possibility of same sex Marriage in AoC which is fantastic, but what else is the game dev intent to do to be as much inclusive as possible? i.e. Gender, Body type, will everyone be able to wear any type of cosmetics, etc.

You might need to clarify. Optimal and best in slot items for x y z build will exist of course
fluid needle
Will min-maxing be a thing in AOC?
min maxing is obviously going to exist as it's inherent in any system with variables. the difference in AoC is that there are so many things that you can do that minmaxing 1 thing wont suit the other.
they emphasise that a meta build can be beaten by a counter that hasnt been thought of. the system is very rock-paper-scissors.

There are rarities of gear, but there is no gear score so people can't inspect you and see "oh this person has 295 gear score/item level"

Is rarity sequential in power? For example a rare piece I got from a quest balanced to be done by a level 30, is that better than a lower rarity piece like uncommon that I got from a quest balanced for a level 50?

their philosophy is that there is no scaling so a rare lvl 30 gear is very likely to be worse than a common lvl 50 gear.

So the only way to compare gear is just the stats on the item. No item level number
Rarity doesnāt mean much either
Just gotta look at stats

When you see a player approaching you and they're wearing a transmog you know you don't know if that person is a high damage mitigation against physical damage or against magical damage and essentially the way we overcome that is through you being able to target a player at a distance and they will have a buff that's present on them that you will see, which indicates that essentially the piece set that they are wearing. It is important for players to be able to ascertain from a threat assessment standpoint you know what they're going up against if they're actively checking that and that will be available.[123] ā Steven Sharif

Apologies if this has been asked already but I have a question. In a world where AoC goes LIVE - what is the self-sustain model for this game (revenue wise)?

If the players change the seasons, does that change the rotation of the seasons for the region?
dark jungle
Players can affect seasons through various game mechanics (such as events). These are local effects, but can become global if they arent dealt with
tender hearthBOT
iron mauve
Rodger, so like I could see when fighting a World Boss, the weather might change, but the rest of the Region still stays the same weather.
Weather around the boss might change
dark jungle
yes, and if that boss is not killed the bad weather may spread to the region, or globally
iron mauve
Gotcha. So if the season for the region is then changed from say Winter to Summer, at the next weekly reset would it then move to fall I assume?
dark jungle
it would depend how long the season is locked. if its more than the 1 or 2 week rotation time it might skip seasons

Maybe it only applies to KS and not store backers tho 
spiral pine
ye that was what i was thinking
desert ivy
There's a voice clip of Steven talking about it but he doesn't say that the web store backers are in order, but that might be because the clip was from August 2018 when the only name reservation pack was the $500 Intrepid Pack and the Voyager Plus or Adventurer pack didn't exist

Intrepid isn't doing deliberate region locking so the only countries that should have a particular problem should be those prohibited from doing transactions with US companies by US law like North Korea from Intrepid's side.

I ask because i notice a lot of argument on social media regarding how long they should be
dark jungle
steven said that they would be testing the seasonal duration in upcoming tests
tulip hatch
The season length has been a debate for a long time, various season lengths will be tested through out Alpha 2 as it is planned to be the longest of the test sessions theres no need to divide the population unless necessary
You are welcome to make a suggestion on the forums of course, Intrepid does read those and take feedback to their teams regularly

cool, i just wondered if it was possible or feasible to test multiple time lengths at the same time? to compile data on just that one variable as fast as possible, might be a bit much to try to test all at once though with so many variations.

I read something about doing quests to help reduce your corruption level but Im not sure what they mean by that.
Can someone elaborate a little bit please?
tender hearthBOT

Gaining exp
There is being corrupted and there is another stat that counts up the more times you become corrupted. So it keeps getting worse the more you do it
The quests were to reduce this counter

Like someone can't simply "wait it out".

It's a lot of stick with little carrot.. good thing there are other ways you can pvp without gaining corruption
It's part of the risk vs reward that Steven loves
Won't stop you from killing someone for something but won't let you be a douche without consequences
If you don't want to take the risk, go attack caravans, take part in node sieges, take part in castle sieges, be a bounty hunter, or initiate guild wars. None of those give corruption

Because if they fight back it's now consentual and you don't get corrupted

That's it can be a huge thing - think if you ran across someone gathering rare nodes at 1:00 PM, two hours later, they are farming the same rare materials. You know those rare materials are the highest sold materials in the game. Do you risk getting their gatherables for a profit or use it for your own crafting?
storm hound
Thatās fair actually
fluid needle
the reward isnt inherent because its up to you to attribute the reward.
if a group is fighting a dungeon boss you can kill them and snipe the boss. there is 0 reward from the system itself but you have to decide if the boss loot is worth it.

The real answer to your question is that, rewards of their gatherables will absolutely be a good reward
Could be worth great moneh
And itās not too hard to avoid the corruption
If they are fighting a mob
Hit them with an ability
Annoy them
I assume attacking will interrupt gathering. So maybe u could even interrupt gathering
Or use stuns and such
Eventually they will get pissed and just attack u back, and boom u kill them and get their gatherables
If they donāt. Then annoy them till u get bored or truly think theyāll never fight back
U could also leash mobs into them and get them killed that way
Pull a bunch of mobs, and try to aggro them on to the player u want to kill
Thereās a lot of skill in goading someone to attack you
Most peopleās first instinct when getting attacked in the world is to fight back (if they are a pvper) or run away (if they are bad at pvp). U will find plenty of people who fight back
So the answer to your question is, the reward is money. Sell the loot you get from killing them
And the risk of corruption, isnāt that high, bc there are a PLETHORA of ways to abuse the āif they fight back, you donāt get corruptionā

Hi. I have a question regarding Cosmetic Packs. I bought a cosmetic pack back in November of last year, because I wanted the Alpha 2 key and wanted to support the project. Since then different Cosmetic Packs have come out which I like more than the one I purchased. Would it be possible to/is there any plan to, allow people to change Cosmetic Packs from an older one, to a newer one?
fluid needle
it is not possible. if you wish to acquire a new cosmetic from a future pack you have to spend money on the individual item you want. depending on which pack you bought you might not have access to all cosmetic choices.
ruby swift
@delicate plank
delicate plank
Ahh okay. I thought buying the cosmetic pack gave you those cosmetics in-game. So these are specialty cosmetics that buying the pack, allow you to buy later on, that other people won't have access to?
We still get the Alpha 2 key though, right? haha
spiral pine
you still get the cosmetics in the pack you bought
tranquil willow

Hello friends if you are getting DMs from users called Hype Apply please do not click any links/media and block/report them to discord. We are doing everything on our end.
Thank you for your patience.
So my question is about server caps... currently its set at 10,000 per server for AoC, which is 4x to 5x of the server caps that were on.. lets just call it "Game A". Over time Game A's servers had less and less population to the point where server transfers had to be a thing to consolidate player base. Will movement between servers exist by in game mechanics such as Guild Wars 2's transfer mechanic for WvW, or will it be like Game A's system where a Transfer Token is given out by devs, or neither?

10k is for online at the same time goal is for 50k per server overall

sharp forum
Has anything been stated on how maps or game world map knowledge will be gleaned? I think I heard the plan was for every server to start in a default configuration but the node system will cause variants? Will world maps be as easy as putting a server name into an online map maker? I just think exploration and a sense of the unknown is important but I'm sure that's hard to do in a mmo where quests givers/locations etc. must be standardized
tender hearthBOT
dark jungle
also every server will develop differently, since nodes/quests/POIs etc will be different on different servers it wont be possible to have a global map
sharp forum
Ah ok I see. Outside of node development will players have any ability to physically shape the world? I'm assuming all castles and ports and stuff will just be autogenerated by the node system, I just didn't know if each server's port at these coordinates get the same name or if players name cities or can build structures
dark jungle
the geography will stay the same, and castles are static, but outside of those things the world adapts and changes due to player influence
sharp forum
Makes sense. They probably haven't locked it in for sure yet, but I'm curious if everyone will start in the same location and spread out, or if it's random. I just imagine people would want to group up for faster node stuff, but I kind of like the idea of living in like a small coastal town, where you probably know players/mayors/guilds by name

So, about the Tulnar...
Are they only gonna be customizable from the major races plus reptilian or mammalian/beastlike, or is that still bound to change?
ruby swift
The smart answer on that is that anything and everything is bound to change as development needs. Some things over the years have changed, but the core pillars of what they have proposed have not deviated. Tulnar were a stretch goal, and if they need to change how they are modeled, animated, or fit into their production pipelines to make them work, you can bet they will make those adjustments.

@digital tartan If you want to get a bunch of information from a video this would be my absolute best recommendation, covers all the core aspects of the game in a decent amount of detail for the duration of the video. If you want to see more on those systems that are mentioned in the video then definitely look them up on the wiki or check out the answered questions in the forums. This video is also from 2020 so there have been some changes since but I still think it's a great video for new comers š https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1s82xJnx1EY

Question, on this stream I asked my question at 1:18:50 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_1q7Djv-Lw&t=1129s&ab_channel=AshesofCreation
and Steven said that the racial cities were going to be ruins essentially. That it had been thousands of years since they were inhabited
then, on the most recent stream, they showed a picture of an incredible looking human city concept art. So, which is it?
tight socket
the cities in concept art will be ones we build through generating xp and levelling nodes

No, the city that was shown last stream was the "starter zone" for the Kaelar Humans, but in-game it will be ruins

There are no premade cities (at least not functioning cities). There will be no Stormwind or anything like that
it's all player nodes

@desert ivy so do you think that concept art is showing what the city used to look like?
before we enter in game?

Only castle sieges are on the 1 month timer
Node sieges could happen any time assuming one did not just happen on a specific node
opaque birch
there are also pvp seasons, end level difficulty dungeons and boss that you need to gather groups for, and once you complete that if you want more you have to win sieges and level up new areas to unlock more new content. there will be a lot to do if you are willing to work for it. @sleek cipher

You might have gotten the best gear without having done particular dungeons and want to clear the dungeon for funsies, make some decent gold off it / It would probably be pretty hard to actually collect your best possible gear in anything resembling a short time frame, since you'd need to wait for most raids to cycle through various combinations of nodes being max level. The over enchanting and repair systems will both have you wanting more drops from high end gameplay after you have your initial base best in slot gear. You might want to collect a rare combat pet and gear for your combat pets. There are various in game cosmetics to collect. You might still need to unlock various augments. You can max out your social orginazation rep. You could get involved in node governance. You could run a business or invest in sharemarkets. You could look for nicer freehold real-estate than what you currently have / decorate it up. There are a lot of organized pvp options other than sieges. You could get into some exploration gameplay or try to discover a new legendary. Etc.
