Yes but the lore in Verra is that we'reo nly just coming back to the world after 1000s of years. Only a few waves of humans have come through the portals back to Verra

#

The interesting thing about is: those mobs didn't turn into ashes when they died
But that's likely because that animation wasn't made at the time of that video

desert ivy
#

It could also be that they don't have the blessing of the Goddess of Creation so they don't go through the process of reviving thus they don't have the Ash animation

#

Humans aren't the only ones that revive after all

What is head start?

desert ivy
#

Some tier of Kickstarter backers got a 1 or 2 day headstart. There is only 1 headstart server per region (EU, NA East/West, etc.) You can't level nodes at all durign headstart period

If you want to discuss anything related to the Office Hours voice chat, please use the proper chat channel you can find it here 😉

I'm not a mod, but I think the answer is yes, that information will help them. But there is no NDA so watching videos will help you if you dont have beta access. Also, nodes are massive collective efforts, this means that guilds wont have enough people to do it all by themselves. As for events, we dont know how things are done yet and we'll have to see through alpha 2 if we can figure out some causalities, if we do, we'll have to give feedback to avoid too much control by the players.

Yes, that's what this is showing

There will be a post on the forum for the livestream questions, it's not up yet 🙂 They'll make a post about it when it goes up in #news

sleek tangle
#

I've read the wiki and watched many of the livestreams but wanted to check in case I missed it: has anything been talked about in terms of "parental controls". Things like limiting playtime/hours for an account or limiting the type of interactions an account can have (like having voice chat off by default or hiding LFG chat).

I know we're a ways out from launch, so maybe nothing has been talked about.

I don't think that has been talked about at all.

Ashes of Creation Wiki
Group mounts

Multi-passenger group mounts were unlocked during the Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign.
These mounts will be elephant sized or larger.
Group mounts will be rarer and more difficult to obtain than regular mounts.
There will be a limit on the number of passengers (for each type of group mount).
Specific weapons systems may exist on different riding...

Whilst the above are true, one of the CMs started off by saying that they are starting to record them now for internal reasons. That being said, I don't recall whether they stated if they will or will not make the recordings public

Is there going to be a dev update this month or did they do office hours instead?

arctic sky
#

The dev steam are the last Friday of the month

#

Unless they announce otherwise

#

The q&a thread gets put up on the forums the week before

#

The office hours are a new thing to get the discord people to participate with their ideas instead of only pulling from the forums

They were run by the community managers

Is it typical for them to not announce stream until close til the end of the month? I need to hear Margaret's and Steven's sweet voices

Alpha-2

A large percentage of Ashes of Creation's game systems are expected to be in place for Alpha-2.
World
The Alpha-2 map will be approximately 220 km 2 in size. Alpha-2 is going to be probably about half of the world space available as part of the testing. I would say just over 220 square kilometers of world for players to explore, which is a pretty...

Shaking and effects like that can normally be turned off
other options for motion sickness specifically have not been addressed.

You can ask that question in the forum thread announcing the next livestream time and Q&A just keep an eye on #news for when that thread is posted.

#

Yeh I have a few friends with this problem more so with first person based games
So hopefully the fact that its 3rd person already helps out

Hope your question gets answered on stream if not they usually get around to answering the posts by responding to them in the forums as well after.

Do NPCs die during siege battles

#

And also can your node go from a city to a village if during siege it gets dammaged

spiral pine
#

if a siege is successful the node gets destroyed

smoky sapphire
#

Same for Node wars, can NPCs be attacked?

radiant trail
#

What if i dont wana destroy the node and i want to take it for myself

spiral pine
#

it doesnt work that way

desert ivy
#

Nodes never delevel, they always get fully destroyed

#

Whether through atrophy or sieges, they never delevel, always just get destroyed

#

Originally the plan was for the nodes to delevel, but it was too complex to do seeing as how nodes work. E.g. how do they delevel a node from City to Town when there's already another Town next to it.

spiral pine
#

ye my mistake

smoky sapphire
#

However, Nodes can have services disabled

desert ivy
#

Yes, reset back to stage 0. You mainly destroy them through Node sieges

Node atrophy can also occur

Ashes of Creation Wiki
Node sieges

Node sieges enable players to destroy nodes. This paves the way for new development and access to the locked content in surrounding nodes. Due to this dynamic, political strife and intrigue play an important role in the structure of the world. Sieging nodes will not be an easy task for the attackers. Cities and metropolises will have a considerab...

Node Siege is a siege. It's objective is to destroy a Node. There is also Node War, which is more akin to disrupt other nodes.

Ashes of Creation Wiki
Node wars

Node governments may declare war on another node and rally citizens to the cause.
This mutually flags the citizens of the warring nodes, including their allies, as combatants. Social organizations quests will either be cooperative or adversarial based on the war status of their parent nodes.
Vassal nodes cannot declare a node war on their parent n...

#

Anyone can become the Mayor of a Node. Depending on the type of Node it is, it may be easier or harder to replace someone as the next Mayor. So you can "takeover" a Node simply by winning an election.

#

What siege is for is to destroy the Node so you can level up your own Node instead. There can only be 5 Metropolises in a server. Plus, which Nodes gets leveled up will also determine the content that your server will get.

Alpha 2 is a persistent alpha, correct? will there be blackout dates?

Can't wait! I hope they announce dates soon.

A Mayor of a Node can always be replaced by another citizen of said Node via elections. Elections will happen monthly so there's always a chance to takeover a Node and do something different.

The world will be the same on each server, but Nodes will develop differently. Different servers will have different narratives. Things that happen on one server may not happen on another.

There's not a player count cap for Node Sieges so far

So it doesn't really matter if trolls do join and don't do anything in that regard

We don't know. A Mayor can declare some players Ennemies of the state. There is also a reputation system with nodes. Not sure how that will impact participation

Couldnt find any information on the wiki about it.

The idea is that this is a longer cast time and that you can slowly start to spawn your family members. Now you can only be ever be a member of one family so it's important if you want to coordinate kind of constant party or PvE groups that you coordinate which families you're a part of so t...

“The summon ability in current design could not be used if the member being summoned was in combat, corrupted, or in an event (caravan battle, siege, war) and they would need to have their mats, gatherables, or certs in their warehouse/storage not in their inventory. Otherwise the summon would fail. But as I said, this will all be tested.”

when u have a system and a pvp mind set on making a game u can do a lot, they have as a dev more possibility, open world contested boss at certain time, loot chest, maybe a contested pvp area when a type of mob will spawn only on certain hour, the possibility is endless for loot drop and content, then crafting will become more content driven and u have to focus doing that specific thing you need for drop what you need and crafting will be hard and fun at the same time

Cant defend yourself if you cant do damage

tranquil willow
#

Either works. They just decided to go with reduced damage

#

Either works as a punishment. That's the goal of corruption

sturdy carbon
#

The reason you reduce their attack power rather than increase damage received is to de-incentivize continual PK, and eventually being wholly unable to kill another

#

PK as in killing a Green, not consensual PvP

onyx knoll
#

the general ideas and goal are pretty set in stone, the actual way they'll be implemented will be tested and asjusted in alpha 2

tranquil willow
#

It doesn't matter. You get punished either way. That's the goal of the system. That's how they are going to do it. What exactly do you want them to do?

frank stone
#

only damage intake would allow heavy kiting builds to not care too much, whereas melee fighters would get rekt by both

#

so basicly, kiting and controll builds can still fully function and kill by just never getting hit

soft wind
#

The post mentions stat efficacy, which includes your defensive stats and through that HP. You don't take directly increased damage, but the reduction in your effective stat pool will ultimately increase incoming damage as well
