If they have thousands of members it might be, but they won't all be under a single banner due to guild and alliance caps.

If by conquering you mean be the mayor of every t3 or higher node
There’s enough guild members to do that

"Guilds" in game cap out at 300 players (using upgrades that could have gone towards other things) - You need more like 5,000-7,000 players to control a continent in detail, although it would matter a bit on what you mean by 'conquer', theoretically one of the continents probably only has two castles, and if you just counted capturing the castles as conquering the continent that's more doable (but might require two in game guilds, I don't know if it's theoretically possible for one guild to control more than one castle).
undone egret
@stable ploverTy was wondering if it was possible cause i wasnt seeing anything that said it could in the wiki
stable plover
Guilds also don't control the normal nodes in game (Just castle nodes) - Nodes are controlled by a Mayor which is an individual player.
summer flame
Members of a guild who control a Guild Castle become citizens of that node, and you cannot be a citizen of multiple nodes.
Actually, we don't know if its optional but I imagine it would be.
Considering the leader becomes King or Queen you would think a guild would not be able to control multiple castles.

First off, the devs here are doing an amazing job on all accounts and I am so excited about this game. However, there is something that sticks out in a negative way to me and that is how the dwarves are built more like halflings or gnomes in this fantasy setting. I have always been in love with the dwarven aesthetic and culture since playing them as a little kid in dnd campaigns to watching them in Tolkeins world of Middle Earth and even playing them in WoW. They are traditionally short yes but also stocky, wide and heavy set. I'm wondering why Intrepid has decided to take them in a different direction here and hope that they will reconsider this races anatomy. It is so visually displeasing looking at these lack luster impish beings and am baffled at Intrepids take on dwarves here. I fully intended on playing the Dunzenkell dwarves but am very disappointed in their visual aesthetics. The armor sets and node layouts look incredible for the race and are on point (In my opinion) it's just the anatomy here NEEDS to be revamped. I'm curious to know if anybody else has wondered or feels the same here.

Read the wiki. Do not rely on random people from discord

No, Tank abilities and Fighter abilities will be different. A tank will have "hate" generation and others. Fighters will have dps burst abilities. Since augments of the secondary flavor the base archetypes abilities, you will have a tank with better dps in the first part, and a fighter that may have a limited threat gen in the second. But they will not have access to the same suite of abilities.

The Cleric in Alpha 1 had no issues with solo play. We are now past Alpha 1 and do not know how the Cleric playstyle may have changed yet. We'll get to see much more once Alpha 2 is ready for us to test.

alpha 1 was a very rough test. it only had 3 archetypes (mage, cleric, and tank) that were extremely unbalanced. as gruntag says we dont have a proper idea of how they'll play on their own as theyre meant to be healers.

Concordat Case is a cosmetic accessory in a pre-order pack.

So idk
true finch
Well sometimes we get the infos on which item we can apply the accessory in the description
Sometimes we dont
Sometimes i got the info for that on the #questions channel
Overall 10/10 experience
the character here holds it in his hands. Thats why i thought it might be a weapon
slate tinsel
We know Ashes won't have a dps meter but it says there will be leaderboard for raids etc..
Does it mean there will be an ingame parsing that you can access on your character page on the website ? ( so you don't require a third party program to compare yourself to other players )
split reef
So I have a thought…
Let’s say I wanna be apart of a worrier pvp node. I put all this effort into helping level a node and cause nodes are preset, all my work goes into this leveling process or node and then it turns out to be a Religious PVE node that I have no interest in participating in. So it wastes my time.
So now what I have to trial and error and level up all these different nodes with my community to try to find the PVP node?
I initially thought you were going to be able to choose the node type but from what I’ve read it sounds like it’s prefixed… any info on this?

Node types are predetermined and will be known before launch
In betas specifically
split reef
So you’ll know where to go to level it up
short flint
Yes, it is prefixed based on the server when it gets created. Some assume you can find out pretty quickly based off the type of quests available to you at the low level nodes and NPC's that spawn?
desert ivy
You will know what node type is what when the node hits level 1 which won't take long
so you're not going to be wasting any time really
plus the only time that's a concern is on launch day
short flint
We aren't going to be 100% sure that the Beta servers are going to be the same exact servers going into launch. I would not make that assumption
tranquil willow
"Node types are predetermined and are the same across all servers."
"Node types will be definitive during the Beta testing stages.[4]
Beta testing will require that the node types be definitive; and that's because of how node types are integrated into the relating and corresponding neighboring points of interest and those quest lines. So it's not something we can swap very easily.[4] – Steven Sharif"
We are 100% sure
lusty kite
While it is true that per the wiki, we have the above statement, so that would leave us to believe that we'll know by end of beta(s) on node placement. Things could change during development.
short flint
Thanks for the clarity
But, I was also goign with the fact that if we have 100 servers at launch, beta isn't going to have 100 servers
tranquil willow
Doesn't matter. It will be the same across all servers

Unless all servers are going to be identical

We won’t see alpha 2 until Q 1-2 next year. With interment spot testing sometime this year. But that’s speculative and we’re still waiting to see some of the core features come online.

Something that i just recently thought about after playing another game that suffers from excessive cheaters, does ashes have this in mind when developing the code and integrating the assets together etc (excuse my laymans terms). It seems whenever a game is super popular there are people who develop hacks trying to profit from it and it ruins the initial hype for alot of games

Along with active GMs in game

I have some questions regarding.. taxation 🧐
So from reading the wiki:
Castles can tax entire areas of the map
Nodes can tax their own citizens
Nodes can be taxed by their parent nodes
Do these stack additively? Or how does it work exactly because this way, wouldn't that mean that the price of good would be ridiculous in a node that is for example, a vassal, of a vassal, of a vassal (+ castle tax)
dark jungle
castles tax the nodes in their region. parent nodes tax the vassal nodes in their zoi. it's up to the nodes how much tax they pass on to their citizens
long furnace
Oh so only the specific nodes' taxes are passed on directly to the citizen as a percentage?
Do the castle taxes / parent nodes taxes apply on something else like for example, the revenue the node makes from its tax on citizens?
Meaning that for example Node A is a vassal of Node B.
Node A sells a house for 1000g, with 10% tax (earns 100g)
Node B is taxing its vassals for 20%, so Node B earns 20g (20% of 100)?
Oh "Parent nodes take a cut of all taxes from the housing and any services that occur within their ZOI." so seems like yes
dark jungle
the federal tax would count against revenue to the vassal node (according to steven's latest statements in the wiki). the parent nodes may even choose to offer federal aid to their vassals.
long furnace
👍 Pretty cool thanks! I found out that there's a Wiki page for Taxes (ofc, there's a wiki page for everything, this game is more well documented than most released games) so will read more into that, thanks!
spiral pine
Bless the wiki god Lex
long furnace
Hey I have one question regarding Taxes even after reading the wiki
So both Parent nodes and Guild Castles seem to tax others' revenue.
What if Parent Node has 30% tax over a Vassal and that Vassal was also being taxed by some Tyrant Guild, 71% tax over their income
Wouldn't that just... total over 100% or does the Guild Castle tax only tax revenue post-"parent node" tax or something like that?
Or are there caps that wouldn't allow taxation over 100%
fluid needle
that's not how percentages work here
if i have 100 bucks and 30% is taxed, i have 70 bucks. that 70 is then taxed for 71% which gives me 20.3 bucks left
long furnace
Alright so it's like I said, Parent node taxes over total revenue and Castle taxes over revenue post "Parent node" tax, is it confirmed that's the order of it?
signal inlet
Tax might not just be revenue. A sales tax could be any percentage and it would never hit 0
fluid needle
im unsure of the tax hierarchy itself
long furnace
Tax might not just be revenue. A sales tax could be any percentage and it would ...
Yeah but from my understand Sales tax is only applied by the node itself onto its citizens
Meanwhile Parent Node and Castle Node tax seems to be over the Node's tax revenue.

Do we know if a node sits between two other nodes that are higher than it but at the same level who would have influence over it i.e a tier 4 sat between two T5. How is influence determined then?

ZOI's expand when a node levels up, so if a node could be in either whatever one levels up and expands to the vassal would control it

main rampart
my assumption would be that the other t5 would get it automatically but idk
I would presume it would be automatic too as if that was a T5 stuck between two 6's the 6 couldn't level again
slate tinsel
I think there is a cap to how much a node can grow if it's near a higher tier
tender hearthBOT
slate tinsel
Stage 6 is metropolis, the highest possible
" Each Node can form into towns, but are limited by their neighbors. The Nodes have different levels of advancement. There can only be so many of each level. Think of this as advanced settlements needing more elbow room. Nodes encompass more land as they grow and will require more effort to be sustained. This system is a main driver for change in the world because it creates scarcity. As Nodes advance in stages of growth they will lock out neighboring Nodes from progressing, and will absorb their zones of influence "
So you virtualy can't have two t5 " near each other " i believe

I was just trying to figure out the dynamics for our guild lore story to make sense within the world. I guess I will wait for further clarification. Our guild is running a dnd game set 85 years before the calamity and I was hoping to also flesh out some of the cultural dynamics within a lore basis more concretely without speculation.
As it stands we know the Glitterwall was a specifically Empyrean thing and was well established before the calamity. The Dwarves being the ones who broke the glitterwall like a twig upon their first battle with the Empyreans in Sanctus. Also being no magic or connection to essence in Sanctus the Py'rai most likely had to exist before entering Sanctus, because of their root antlers.
Our game so far is operating under the assumption that the Pyrian Kingdom was much like Rome with territories under it's control and the Py'rai being more located in the outskirts away from civilization.

Ok, I have a question regarding seasons and more specifically seasonal events
So let's pretend we are in the World of Verra. It is Winter across the land.
A guild of malicious sneaky bastards is well-stocked with resources from the other seasons and are looking to turn a profit, and oh how lucky for them! An event has been triggered, there is a massive winter dragon of sorts who is enjoying the winter and won't let it go away. This fits great with the guild's objectives, the longer Winter gets extended, the more scarce resources will become and the more of a profit they will turn!
Would said guild be allowed to, in someway, for example through combat, prevent other players from completing this world event and extend the winter until the resistance from the rest of the population becomes too high and too many fight against them? (or maybe sneak it during off-hours while the guild is at its weakest)
Or would the guild just be powerless to really take any advantage of this world event?
Or in a broader sense, will seasons and generally random events that affect the world in general be able to create player conflict / politics?

Btw wouldn't this also make it so a server is de-synched from the others season-wise? 🤔 So let's pretend seasons last 2 weeks and winter gets extended by 3 days due to people stopping others from killing the world boss.
That server would permanently be 3-days late regarding seasons to tthe other servers

It might, it might not
That depends on how the dragon is stopping winter
Also, this would desync all servers
long furnace
And eventually this would probably lead to chaos where it could be winter in a server, summer on another one which I find pretty fun 😄
cyan hearth
Since they wouldn't all defeat this dragon at the same time
Though, If when the dragon is defeated, seasons just snap back to where they should be, it won't de-sync anything

Something could be tracking what season it's supposed to be while the dragon stuff's happening and return it to normal after, will just have to see how they do it

Btw @delicate wolf do you have any recommendations in regards to getting more involved with the AoC community? I have been following the game since around 2017/18. I have left university, started working, bought a house and moved in with someone (funnily enough, someone that I met in Archeage) since then. I'm really hyped for this game but would like to be able to take a more active community role and also be surrounded with more people that are waiting and well-informed on this game.

Yeah, I think just delaying seasons 3 days would be a better approach but would be kind of funny if the event was delayed 2 weeks and you just ended up skipping one entire season 😂 although probably not the best idea at all.. that could cause some abusable issues (for example major guilds uniting to starve an entire player population of Spring resources for a whole in-game year..)

Question out of pure curiosity
Have Intrepid stated anything on how they will publish their game? Through a standalone launcher or steam and its likes?
Have the previous alpha been on a standalone launcher or steam?

They plan on a standalone launcher for the mmo. An earlier testing phase called APOC was on Steam.
And all other testing iterations have been standalone.

How does 'in/out of combat mode' work in AoC? To specify with an example: In GW2 you're in combat if you have been hit by or hit an enemy player and you then stay in combat until you move a certain distance away form them assuming neither part has a lingering effecft on the other.
Other games might have a time based combat system rather than one based on distance.>
How does it work in AoC? And is it different between fighting a player and an NPC?
tranquil willow
The Mobs in AoC will have a leash based on distance
" Leashes are relevant. There's other gameplay implications that happen when you're able to actually move populations around. We don't want to really give that to the players perspective.[6] – Steven Sharif"
autumn thicket
Hows the claiming system for AoC vs mobs and also grouping of mobs? Is it single targets that we will encounter or is it groups of enemies or a mix? I do not like some games where regardless of which mob you strike, it just groups like 12 mobs together to come fight. Linking mobs is different than having to fight a group of them every time. I enjoy hard single target mobs. Cannon fodder mobs are meh unless it's just adds for a bigger fight. Pulling would essentially become a mechanic and that's a mechanic I like very much, but not when it's groups of enemies.

We dont really know. If you take Alpha 1 as a reference point, mobs were more on the stronger side relative to other mmos. You would mostly pull single mobs to be efficient at grinding mobs at your level. But Intrepid has yet to finish their combat system. Everything related to PvE does depend on that.

this was to show us the way they will going to did it and do we are agree?

What do they intend to be the requirements to get a freehold, a quest line?
I had not heard that it will be a 'monumental task' to obtain a freehold.
It sounds like a new revelation
tall copper
might be dependent on who owns the node too
spiral meadow
Only an individual can be a mayor, so.....
tall copper
yup yup
not much other than needs a certificate
but since they have a lot of importance I can see how a mayor would have a say in it
spiral meadow
On today's stream, Steven said it's going to be a big deal to get a certificate
tall copper
probably the same with building blueprints
spiral meadow
because the only way to craft higher level items will be to develop a high level crafting station on a freehold
I do not think a mayor has any say on who gets a certificate
rough gorge
Will we have something that brings us up to speed prior to Alpha 2 and areas they want us to focus on testing?
tall copper
Its a iffy subject because it could cause favoritism, granted I would want a mayor to have some say since there is a finite amount of plots
ruby swift
Like many systems and mechanics in development, goals may shift due to tech or player concerns. They have yet to reveal most of the freehold mechanics and customization.
For example, he slipped in that Inns may have a housing option of some sort. Whether that was a misspeak or something new? Needs clarification.
spiral meadow
yeah, that would be cool
because mayor's have to make a choice to build instanced housing in a node, it's not guaranteed
ruby swift
There is guaranteed instanced housing at level 3 of a node. The mayors make a decision on whether to expand that.
spiral meadow
you mean the number of instanced apartments?
ruby swift
Yes
ruby swift
I would have to go look, but I think the base number given was 50.
spiral meadow
50 is low! lol
ruby swift
It is a level 3 node. I think the other number was only 8 houses for the in game housing in a node settlement.
spiral meadow
Well I plan to do whatever it takes to get a freehold, they are soooo cool
ruby swift
But as I said before, those numbers are fluid.
ruby swift
See, my memory still working. But yeah, changes to those numbers can always occur as development dictates
tawny egret
I want to buy the voyager package but not to exited about those cosmetics, I read that you can purchase future cosmetics what is the cost of that ideally after you have bought voyager?

They mentioned doing several more videos and since they do one a month, it will be a while
spiral meadow
When you buy into a package, after that you can buy pieces of cosmetics after that, but you can not buy stuff by 'piece' from a higher value package, like you can not buy a house skin later for buying an initial low level set package that did not include a house skin.
somber junco

Is there anyone who can confirm if, in the current build shown today, the basic attacks are done by left-clicking or if they just happen automatically in front of your enemy like in FF14? I've seen the term 'auto-attack' thrown around but really I'm unsure what it all includes.
Personally, I'd much prefer to click for each attack for a more actiony feeling.

Around 2:12 in the livestream, there is a question about equiping a weapon changing your skillset. It is said the weapon is not going to change your skillset.
From my understanding, this means if you play a cleric, you will always have your cleric skills no matter the weapon.
But in alpha 1, there was a disabled tree for weapon skills. Is it still plan for weapons to have their own skill tree? Or is that abandonned? Maybe the tree for weapons is more for small modifyers and not skills per say?

It'll seem random to us, but i can almost guarantee that Intrepid Studios has a "Goal" in mind that they are going to meet before they will release to us their first alpha 2 build. They have kept close to their chat what that actual goal is though.

They will announce the date for A2 once they know for sure they can hit it. Intrepid made some early mistakes in development by setting dates that were missed, and the community punished them for it. So now they only give dates when they are sure.

real wolf
please don't make any one and done content. i really want to be hyped for this game and live this game when it's out. but i will not play it at all if there is one and done content that creates FOMO. there's nothing worse that a game can make. literally the worst thing most multiplayer games have.
as a collector and completionist this is a death sentence for a game. the game looks so promising, but one and done content will just make it unplayable for me and many others.
dawn roost
If you are completinist you should be happy for fomo since it makes ppl who have done it more unique
And it has to be some fomo content as a thanks from devs to players who plays regularly, but it shouldnt be that big (small achievement or title is enough)
real wolf
lol, i completely disagree. more unique? by missing it? make things challenging to get. there you have your prestige. no need to ruin millions of players experience just because they missed something, maybe because they couldn't play at that specific time or because they started the game at a later time, and so on. and it's a pain to be forced to know at all time what is going on with the content in the game, like checking every promotion and every little event and things in the game. fomo is literally the worst thing that exists in modern gaming.
fomo = ruins the experience for the most hardcore players that missed 1 thing. and that WILL happen to everyone at some point. and so those players don't care much anymore
no fomo = completionists will grind the game to the last bit of content. so that is way more healthy for the game to "thank the devs for players who play a lot".

I have a question about the economy of the game. What systems are in place in the game to keep the inflation of the currency down. One thing that I loved about Eve online back in the day is that war between guilds not only came from a skill of the players but the backing of the industrial base the clan set up. Are guild wars going to be expensive are towns going to need a certain value of currency shoved into its gaping maw to keep it functional.

guilds operate independent of towns but i believe there is a natural market force of supply and demand from player interaction. a node with a high ore spawn rate will have cheaper ores than a node with a lower ore spawn rate for example.

I remember a few months back they were asking our feedback about enemy indicators, was anything said from their end after this ? Like seeing enemies' hp, levels, classes, gearscore, being able to mark them with signs for the whole raid to see ..?

I have a technical question about the foliage system in UE5. In the latest video (Ashes of Creation Alpha Two Basic Melee Weapon Attack Update), i see that the ray traced foliage shadows disappear at a certain distance. Is this something that you wittingly didn't touch because of the optimization for the alpha or something that you have issues with? Ever since i started to use UE5 i'm having a lot of issues with the foliage system. Just out of curiosity, i'm interested about how hard is/was the implementation of the foliage objects comparing to UE4. Not sure where else could i ask this, sorry if this isn't the right channel for it.

alright, thanks for the info

watching the video for development update, and there was a question about wind effecting the ships speed on the open ocean. Id like to follow up the answer given with a question about creating your own wind through magic. or if technology will effect ships

Wind magic is a no go, technology yes as the science node offers high level crafting. You’ll be able to craft ship parts as well as caravan parts like better off road wheels etc.

When buying a pre-order pack that includes months of game time, is this activated post release? Or is it game time during alpha and beta?
grim breach
At launch. IIRC they mentioned the possibility of having it activated manually after launch but haven't confirmed yet?

So are ships supposed to be destroyable like in Atlas?
The ships will become disabled, may have damage done to components that needs to be repaired. But not completely destroyed a la Atlas. Also, you cannot launch ships on the sea, only from the coast.
And yes, they will be a part of pvp

Yes and apart of pvp and economy when running trade routes

None as of yet.
In the past, have they done so? Or has it always been an immediate replacement of the current one?

They usually do a teaser on stream or in the discord. Probably we’re too busy with the combat to work that in for this stream.
They also announce the new pack a few days before the last one goes down.
So new pack shown on the 5th but unavailable until the 13th

Ah I see, thank you so much :).

will the devs let us play with the character creator when they are done with it
