Will the range weapons take "aim" or are they going to be auto-aim tab targeting style? I would love if at least a few of them had even their basic attacks "aim" based
kindred otter

Combat will be a hybrid between tab and action so anything is possible atm
teal copper
@Hurtmei Yeah, maybe they can make the mage weapons tab based while the bow and crossbow are aim based. I would selfishly want them all to be aim based but i know some people prefer tab targeting. I do think aim based is a more modern approach though. Possibly just have a couple of the class abilities be tab based but the weapon them selves take aim.

The melee combat looks pretty similar to the combat in GuildWars2 and I have few question about the visual clarity, skill design, combat speed. How do you want to handle the problem of visual clarity in bigger fights and what is there any focus on visual clarity right now? What are typical values of casting times of basic attacks for different group of weapons? What is the frame data of abilities(startup, active, recovery frames)? I'm asking about the distribution and not exact values. Would you balance the abilites by increasing/decreasing casting frames rather than balancing by decreasing/increasing damage values + special effects? What is the basic movement speed and is it depending on the weapon, being active in combat, etc? Do you plan to decrease/increase base movement speed compared to the speed showed during last presentation? What is the current stance on access to aoe abilities and duriation of them? Are you going to limit them to increase visual clarity? What do you mean exactly by player agency in the context of combat system?

I'm sure this was already discussed, but will high level players be able to complete lower level events? Such as a high level person one shotting a lvl 10 world boss or something of the sort? I know the bosses will play a big part in how the environment and nodes progress so it would be a shame if high level people could change that on their own
I am curious if Steven has shared his design philosophy around that, it sounds like an invitation for RMT boosting communities to flood the game :/

So I just discovered this game, today. Overall, it seems like a game to get excited about. I've spent the last 2 hours going over the website, the kickstarter page, the forums, and this discord and the one question that ping pongs around my brain is:
- It would appear the kickstarter started back in 2017. It is now 2022. that's 5 years of development. I see lots of interaction and activity, so that's encouraging, but, to spend 5 years working on a game without a projected start date for at least Beta, gives me pause. Do you guys have a projected start date for Beta? and Final release? Spending the next 2-5 years of my life putzing around in Alpha, does not appeal. (if you had some kind of carry over from Alpha to Release, then maybe...)

the tl;dr is Intrepid had barely any employees in 2017/18/19. When the game started proper production in 2017 they only had around 15-20 employees. Steven misjudged how quickly he'd be able to hire new employees in the beginning. He wanted 100 employees by the end of 2018 but it took him until 2021 to hire that many. They're currently around 160 employees with the goal to hit 200 by the end of the year.
There's no dates or estimates for alpha 2/beta/release.

You won't find an exact number since it'll depend on so many factors. Think of them as borders of countries IRL, they're all varied in size and shaped because of the topography on top of the wars/politics that created them, it'll be similar in Ashes. The only ones we have a rough idea of the size would be the Metropolis (the largest size a node can grow to), those will have a Zone of Influence that covers a fifth of the map

Not really a question but possible concept that would be interesting but might make people upset. Possibly world events that make nodes completely unavailable for a seasonal year. Flood, Volcano erupting completely, Magical Freeze, Meteor, some other event that could be defended against but incredibly challenging. Wining the event means you dont get completely destroyed, Losing event node is destroyed but introduces a new enemy type that lives in that destroyed/deserted city
I know they were doing it in the events when a node expands but might be a cool concept if it could destroy a node.

So, in regards to my earlier question about RMT and gold selling.. I see that there will be reports and such to make the player "hot" from a heat map. I know with my experiences with AA, there were numerous gold sellers who never got banned or suspended i believe they also made "trades" for the gold in game, where someone would trade a low tier item, lets say a rock for this instance, that rock would be exchanged for how ever much was previously discussed via a inv only discord server. Would that be caught by said heat map?
Also, another question derived whilst posting that whopper of a message.... Is there any systems or confirmation on how they are gonna deal with "mass reporting" of a player to take them out of the game for a period of time?

If nodes effect mob spawn tables and the level of mobs in the node's area of influence - will starting levels end up being too difficult for fresh characters?
If you make a fresh new character or join very late, how will the scaled node difficulty impact the levelling experience?
But it would be more dangerous right? And there would be less safe areas for them to level I assume?
PvP Flags:
-
If a Non-Combatant attacks another Non-Combatant, the attacker becomes a Combatant.
-
If the other player fights back, he also becomes flagged as a Combatant.
-
If one kills the other, normal penalties apply (half of non-combatant) but no Corruption is gained.
-
BUT if the victim does not fight back and dies, the attacker gains Corruption.
-
If the attacker weakens the player and the player dies to an enemy they were fighting in the open-world, the attacker does not gain Corruption right? But the dying player still suffers death penalty and can be looted for some trade goods etc.
You could troll people by attacking people who are fighting mobs, ambushing them but not killing them, hoping for NPCs to kill them instead?

I think the great sword transition from attack 1 to 2 is the biggest issue that transition is so fast it's almost like the sword teleports to the side to start the 2nd attack.

So I don't know If this has been asked yet, Well three things.
One, has there been any information on the rogue class/....Shadow Lord class.
Second, (Ties into if there's been any information on the Shadow Lord class) Will the Shadow Lord be able to have summons period, and if so what's the limitations/aspects it'll entail?
Thirdly, Because there's animal husbandry, and if I remember correctly that ties into the summoner based classes. What kind of creatures are tamable, and will there be any kind of boss egg drops that'll give summoner's/husbandry people stronger creatures?
I know it's a lot but thanks for helping me quench my curiosity. I've always loved the idea of having a stealth/rogue based character with a summoner twist (essentially stealth based summons, for Exp: A spider creature that has invisibility/chameleon abilities)

- if crafting BIS is a monumental task (requiring many items to create the final piece) will there be enough bank storage (hopefully dedicated/separate item storage) to bank crafting materials
- will there be an upper and lower limit to the price of items on the AH. to prevent devaluing mats to the point that any high skill crafter can just buy cheap mats and churn out legendary items (the inverse is also true for gatherers collecting mats and setting ridiculously high prices causing a halt to processing and crafting)

We don't know the profession details of which will craft those things yet. Out of that list, we've only seen the wand since APOC, so I'll give some likely to be super dated answers based on APOC. Wands have very fast attack speed and shoot in a straight line, the only grimoire we've seen has a two second cast to launch a meteor in a small area, the staff we've seen had a melee attack and could instant cast out a damaging cone on as 10ish second cooldown. I vaguely think we haven't seen an orb in action yet, although they've shown us some models for them.

Im new to MMOS, that considered a slow pace compared to others?
It's fairly long compared to other MMOs. I'm going to drop out a lot of numbers I've basically gotten from google searching here without super thorough research. ESO is like 150 hours, BDO is like 8-10 hours to get to 60 (without being carried or using a ton of xp boosts) but can be like 500 hours just to go from 62-63, Wildstar was about 100 hours to level if you played sort of normally, Classic WoW would take about 10-14 days /played (so 240-336 hours) if you just go with the flow of leveling, but modern leveling guides can get it down to around 5 days /played if you want to optimize without being outright carried. For TBC your looking at about 3-4 days to go 1-70 if super efficient or more like 216 hours if you want to do it casually, WoW retail is currently about 12-24 hours to reach 50 and another 10 to max out. DDO is about 56 hours 1-30 with xp buffs following a guide solo. GW2 is about 20-30 hours. New World probably averages around 120 hours to hit max level (I see a lot of variance reported).

Wow that says a lot, thank you so much.

which you can pick up again

spiral pine
however you only drop unprocessed stuff
desert ivy
You go into xp debt if you die which you have to earn back to continue levelling. You only lose % of your gatherables on death unless you're corrupted in which case you have a chacne to lose gear
desert ivy
You don't lose gear if you're a non-combatant or combatant, you only lose gear if you become corrupted, and in that case it's a small % chance which increases the more corrupt you becom

It's possible but unlikely to lose gear on death and only if you're corrupted

There's no date for those yet. An announcement of the release servers will be a good indicator

That won’t happen until release?
So really it’s just a race to create your character faster than everyone else?
I was under the impression that Alpha one package that has name reservation allowed you to reserve your name during Alpha one character creation
But I guess that is not the case
worn wagon
You'll be able to reserve 1 name on 1 server, so in order to do that, the release servers will have to be somewhat set in stone. As a note, higher tier packs will have priority, starting with Kickstarter packs and ending with the Voyager+ pack
crystal beacon
I guess the higher tier packs would be allowed to create their character earlier than everyone else is how it would work otherwise I don’t know how that would happen
worn wagon
You're reserving just a name, not a character. You can create you char at a later date
dusk token
can you fix your stats if you die, like repairing gear?
short flint
can you fix your stats if you die, like repairing gear?
Your stat loss from dying is tied to the XP Debt you have accumulated. So fixing your stat loss requires you to grind out XP to remove your XP Debt.
delicate wolf
I guess the higher tier packs would be allowed to create their character earlier...
Name reservation is based on package tier. Higher tiers will get to reserve before lowers. 10k KS > 5k > 2.5k > 1k > $500 KS/summer backers > 500 store packs > 350 etc.
spark cove

Am I right with my observation that if you go through the Kickstarter route and upgrade you pledge you don't get any Embers? I am not calling foul here. Nowhere it says that you get any but essentially if you buy into the game later you get embers but as a kickstarter you essentially cannot get any embers because the packages that would contain them are locked off since you have already bought into the game.

Kickstarters got way more extra perks, so to try and make up for it a bit Intrepid gave the store packs Embers ijnstead
Kickstarters can still buy Embers separately

Is it just me or seeing a mini game in the game like the card game Gwent in the Witcher 3. The players and collect cards from side missions, card packs from vendors in the player hub cities, trade cards wit other players and duel each other. That game was so popular they made a stand alone. Probably something not important but would be so cool tooo see its like a game with in a game

is this still relevant in terms of armor?

As far as we know

I would imagine so, as it wouldn't make too much sense for a tank to wield a bow or a mage wielding a spear, but they could still use them if they wanted to.

one is owned by guild, one is owned by player

which means me as a guild leader can have both?
dark jungle
that would be a fair assumption

You have your personal freehold which you can place virtually anywhere in the world, and you have your guild freehold. Separate things, but yeah
Your personal freehold will also be a minimum distance away from any other freehold so that everywhere isn’t polluted with freeholds, and so that players can’t make towns with their freeholds.

The entire guild would use the guild Freehold, which I assume the GM would set permissions, so everyone would potentially have two. Their guild and their personal.
I just saw Loreds response.

How will dark guilds operate? Little bit of a broad question, but I'm just curious how the mechanics will change.

Dark guilds? I don’t believe those exist. Maybe you mean patron guilds?

Ik I had to be more specific, I mean like player guilds made up of players how are pvp or hunt down caravans I forgot the exact terms for it, but I remember hearing something about it on the wiki.
fleet marlin
Uh I mean, the wiki for guilds is here but other than that, there will probably be guilds that have groups of players focused on pvp and caravans, in fact, that will probably be every guild to some extent.

Hmmm... alr, I wonder of they're will be a rep system attached to guilds or not though.
Like if it's a pvp or mercenary guild how that'll effect their development in nodes etc.

@gusty shoal honestly there is a lot to read regarding pvp activities and how that might affect your reputation as a player and as a guild

Hey guys, I was already looking in the Wiki but couldnt find anything.
Do we have any information about our Quest Log/How many Quests we can accept?
Is there a limit or can you accept as many as you want?

I don't remember having a max number of quests able to accept but there was a quest log in alpha
also the quests in most cases quest marks marked only the approximate area of the quest not the exact spot
