How will LOD work with our characters. I noticed in a lot of games the character creator will be extremely detailed texture and lighting wise but when in game the detail drops.

The game engine is capable of it, but they still have to add it to it when designing everything to use it. But yeah game engine and game at launch.
Its a module you have to enable.

correct

And then make sure the textures can actually work with it. It's why I mentioned the game engine, since they would have to apply it there first before it shows up in the game.

I suppose it depends on if things like trees will move with the wind or not I guess. Just reading a bit about it, lumen works great for stationary objects, but anything that moves not so much.
There is the option to turn on the ability for it to use hardware rt cores for acceleration but there is a performance hit at the cost of accuracy that way. Just depends on what works best I suppose.

The dog is a cosmetic pet. It may have certain emotes and actions that it performs, but it affect nothing in power progression or combat.
Cosmetic pets are not skins. They are can be summoned from level 1 and having a base animal is not required to "skin" the pet.

In the grand scheme of the gaming industry Intrepid are actually very efficiently communicative about their development process. Have a look at how other studios communicate updates and the language they use when talking to their community for further explanation on what I mean there. Intrepid are still very early on in this games development despite how long they have been working so the updates and info that everyone is looking for is likely a way off at the mo. What I’ve taken away from what I’ve seen so far is that intrepid are making steady progress towards their goals in a mindful way and that is good to see 😊
!pets
Ok that didn’t work 😂 Gotta admit I can’t see how to work the bots in the discord 😊
tender hearthBOT
glad vine
There’s a quote on the pet page, just down a little, that says there will only be one slot for each pet type. This sounds like pets are part of your character sheet so to speak.
The intention is to make each pet slot unique, so having 1 cosmetic slot, 1 item pet and 1 class skill pet.[8] – Steven Sharif
So from that info, possibly the answer is no. However, I get that you asking about your freehold and you imagine having a pack of pets running around your garden 😆 I’m sure I would like that too lol.
The freehold system has plots. One of these is the animal husbandry plot (the stable) for breeding. It’s feasible that a plot could be created by intrepid to house cosmetic pets such as a garden or something similar or that they could be allowed to free roam but that’s pure speculation on my part. From what I can see from the wiki there’s no mention of cosmetic pets and freeholds but there may be something on the forums if you have time to check there. If there isn’t you could always add your request for consideration 🥰

Will there be a video clarifying the PvP system?
After reading some wiki pages I've come to the conclusion that it does seem quite complicated and it might be daunting for those interested that it is possible to get stabby stabbed at any moment in the game. Some of my friends have raised concerns about going afk for a toilet break or whatever and to potentially come back to a dead character. Also how do you factor in people who might not care about corruption and decide to farm players anyway potentially even using multiple characters?
My friends are interested in the game but seem put off because they're not sure the flagging system will work and they're worried our adventures might suffer because of it.

Preface
In past forum discussions regarding corruption, a few of us have found, through the wiki, that making a class level 1 character with a potentially max artisan skill level is possible, allowing for players to potentially avoid PVP with these types of alts(via increased corruption penalty for killing a low level player), and coincidentally also allow for bots/gold sellers to take advantage of it in a similar fashion. We have thought to make artisan level correlate to corruption penalties, thus allowing for these characters to be dealt with properly and not result in a possible exploit, the exploit being a means to better avoid the PvP mechanic in a PvX game while still allowing to obtain high tier items through artisan skill.
Question
So this begs the question. Is it intended to allow low level characters to progress to high tier/even mastered artisan or to at the very least test it in regards to the aforementioned scenarios?
dark jungle
what we do know is in the wiki, but its not enough to make any calls about what races and classes will work well together

There's no full loot. You drop a portion of your gatherables (e.g. ore, herbs, wood) on death. The only way it's possible to drop gear is if you become corrupted (killing a player who has not flagged for PvP) and even then it's a small percentage chance that increases the more non-combatant players you kill.

But yeah, it's a decent question
dark jungle
maybe, but its worth asking imo
toxic smelt
I mean if they’re bots then wouldn’t they be handled the same as any other bot

It doesn't necessarily just apply to bots though. Players can make a low level, get its artisan level up, and use its low level as a deterrent to getting pk'd while gathering max level artisan goods
limber girder

urban needle
they sound the most interesting so far
dark jungle
even if they are not bots, the question is regarding level disparity acting as a deterrent. in other words, the risk versus reward balance is off, because the level 1 players who reach artisan mastery have a disproportionate amount of reward compared to the risks, because most of the risk is mitigated by the risk of corruption

Before the real game release, we are going to get the character creation as a standalone. Are we going to get a standalone character creation before alpha 2? Character creation testing is a thing in itself so it would make sense to not test it at the same time as other systems

hi everyone, i know that there some boss and dungeon will be difficult, but what about the open world .
Will it be like wow classic or gw1 where you can't pull too many mobs or you will get rekt ,
or will it be more like agro 5-10 mobs and aoe fest ( a bit like it the last combat video ) ? thx 🙂

Steven uses God Mode during those vids

but how was it in alpha 1 for exemple ?
to see what direction are they taking for now
okok
and did steven sharif talked about it ? because i looked almost all his interview , and i don't have the answer to my question for now
smoky sapphire
Alpha 1 best grind for exp other than quests were to pull multiple but as they say, it was not a content test.
drifting plover
and i know almost all the game design is already on paper, so he might have an idea of the difficulty he want in the open world
hope they go for a difficult approach
smoky sapphire
In alpha 1, you had different densities in different zones too.

Well, they are supposed to be cosmetics going on top of existing items (applying a mount skin to a mount you already have). In A1 they were just selling them as items themselves just for testing purposes.

There are no mounts that you can purchase with irl money.
smoky sapphire
All cosmetics require an equivalent item in game to use. Cosmetics are cosmetics
fleet marlin
You can achieve mounts only in game and apply relevant cosmetic skins to them
smoky sapphire
you find a bear for exemple, then you can apply a fat quadruped skin (I think it's like equivalent tier but not sure what tiers are and how it works with gliding, flying, walking). I think that's something like that. A cool full plate cosmetic will only be for a heavy armor

I hope this question doesn't offend anyone. I didn't ever know about the kickstarter or summer crowdfunding campaigns, and I instead learned about them very recently along the existence of the game. Is there any way for a newly interested person like me to be able to buy any of the packages included in those campaigns, or am I forced to miss on them because I didn't know about them in the past? Providing funding while actually recieving the exclusive kickstarter rewards like Founder's title etc. sounds alot more interesting than the current lackluster preorder packages they are offerering in the main site now. I'm sure some people would understand where I'm coming from, please be kind with me, and thanks in advance.

It's a shame, I really loved most of the inclusions of the kickstarter/summer campaigns instead, and would have happily pledged one of the last tiers if possible. But it is not the case, so oh well. I might as well just wait till the game eventually releases, unless they change the store packages to actually include some of the enticing benefits included in the original founding campaigns.

So alpha 2 is going to be a persistent alpha, does that mean I will be able to get access to the alpha after it starts, or do I have to buy one of the voyager packs before the second alpha starts. I'm asking because I would like to see people fully playing it before spending $250+
desert ivy
While they haven't announced what their plan is regarding alpha 2 packs once A2 starts, it's a safe assumption to say that the packs will still be available once Alpha 2 starts. The alpha 1 packs were available after Alpha 1 started and it wouldn't make much sense from a money standpoint for them to remove the pack once the phase starts
so 99.999% sure you're fine in waiting until A2 starts before buying a pack

regarding the top package that comes with name reservation, is there a list of already reserved names because based on that it would dictate the purchase or not for many.
desert ivy
Names haven't begun to be reserved yet. We don't have a date for when name reservations will start. When they do start they will go from highest tier backers > lowest tier backers. It will start with Kickstarter backers > summer backers > store backers
Name reservations also happen on a per server basis. So you can reserve the name "Bob" on one server and another person can reserve the name "Bob" on another
elfin stream
From my understanding AoC is going to be a subscription game. As a guild leader - one of my biggest concerns is for the community to be able to group up long term. How is Ashes planning on handling this issue. We have people who work and have families who play 15-20 hours a week. While others play 40 plus hours a week.
dark jungle
subscription is $14.99 per month, there are no weekly or hourly rates planned
desert ivy
It's up to the guilds to decide how they schedule group ups
Usually the hardcore grinders who play 80 hours a week wouldn't be grouping with the people who play 5 hours a week

elfin stream
A ton of the better players in our community don't have the option to play 40-80 hours a week. Nothing wrong with a game going that direction, just makes it hard to get the people to play together long term. @smoky sapphire thanks for the link. I will watch this ASAP.

Node development will inevitably slow down those on the cutting edge but over time it’s expected that those who put in more work, get more out of it.
spiral pine
thats just how it works out in most mmos, more time=more progress
fading latch
Or any game for that matter
warm onyx
Well, in AoC you even have certain equalizers. Since it’s mass PvP and such, individual skill gets de-prioritized and organization reigns supreme
So you may have the most geared 5 players but if the other group is more organized, you still might lose despite the gear advantage
smoky sapphire
The video I linked mentioned the fact that class Rock paper scissors has impact. That lower geared player can proc different status on ennemies which will combo for others. It says that gear overhead should be around 50%. Also the game is not gonna be balanced for 1v1 so gear cannot be "be all, end all". This is in comparison to other game where gear is everything (for exemple BDO gear gap is very oppressive for pvp)
elfin stream
IIMHO - most MMO have some mechanic to keep people close. IE dailies that give a large percent of experience, catch-up mechanics, p2w mechanics, etc... Not saying those are better options, btw. Just investigating.

Hi guys, this is my first post. I found out that Ashes of Creation will not have a version translated into my language the Brazilian Portuguese, I am very sorry to have discovered this through the forum, sad news for me and thousands Brazilian players.
I'm very sorry Ashes of Creation didn't pay attention to our Brazilian community, which is currently the sixth country with the highest average daily game time, and 67% of Brazilians play video games.
Not looking closely at our community makes me a little sad Ashes of Creation. @idle siren

The issue with certian countries is even though they have a high population of gamers, they're not willing to pay the price that is required for Ashes. Ashes has a $15 a month subscription fee which a large majority of SAs aren't willing to play. You'll probably eventually get a SA server, but it's not a priority atm

Gotta ask i have 1 thing that i find concerning about the corrupted system in ashes and that is the same thing that plagued BDO namely the Karma-bombing that often occur. For context its where a player continuously fuck up your grinding spot/ rotation by either taking mobs or the resources in the area to annoy you so much that you either: A, leave the spot for him or B, kill him to stop it for a period of time but as a penalty you get negative karma or corruption in this situation.
My concern lies if there will be a system that actually combat this sort of behaviour or if there will not be one.
desert ivy
Nothing. You don't really "own" a grind spot. If someone else wants to contest you or annoy you to get it then that's fair game

Hi, I have a big question for the upcoming stream. So, people are really wondering about the cosmetics, and are not happy. Are the cosmetics able to be instantly obtained, or not. I was wondering, say, you have a saddle. And that saddle is in a cosmetic, will you be able, to. Gain that saddle in game even if you don't have the cosmetics? People are concerned and confused I have noticed, that, that saddle is an only a cosmetic option, and you gain it instantly, with out any work or effort, and that you can't get it anywhere else besides the store on AoC website. Also, you won't be able to gain said saddle in game, because it's only a cosmetic. And, are we, as players, able to get the saddle even if we have no cosmetics? Are the saddle cosmetics a skin, ((say, that skin, (cosmetic look you bought) is a Minecraft skin, that you would use on your character to change the look of the player. And it be that a special skin that you can't get anywhere else?)) And that you just click a button, if you have said saddle in game. And change the appearance of it to the cosmetic that you bought? I know this is along question, but people are repeatedly asking this, I just wanted to put it in context for you to understand.
ancient egret
no you cant you have to have the item to put the cosmetic on tho there is something called costumes that you can put on that dont need the gear but it has no stats
plush hawk
You need to have the mount or object in game that the cosmetic can be placed on.
The cosmetics dont give any P2W advantages
We don't know how to change cosmetics in game yet
but im sure it wont be difficult.

So, if I am to understand, that I will be able to get any item, creature, clothes, etc. In game, example. A robe, I will need to get it in game, but not need to buy it on the store to have it. But, if I want to have it look like the cosmetics that you can buy. I have to buy it on store. Would I be able to have different colours of that robe without cosmetics from said store.

lots of information in the Ashes Wiki
lucid cipher
I want an answer to the question
The costume cosmetics that are included in each month's pre-order set are indeed a full piece, and when you put it on it will cover your entire appearance. You will not be able to mix and match/toggle those pieces individually (other than your helmet) when you're wearing the entire costume. This is partially why there is a separate category for accessories - those are able to be worn/equipped on a more individualized basis, so you can mix and match to your liking
slender lagoon
Thank-you everyone for your information. I was very unsure of what they ment on streams
