Ashes of Creation Dev Tracker

I'm a medium guild-size enjoyer personally! I like something in which there are always people online, but not so many that you start to feel like you don't know anyone ^_^

Presumably there will be a communal plot inside a node's settlement? Or maybe you'll get some planting-tubs in your apartment that you can put your seeds in.

Unfortunately, there are many ways people will use and abuse systems for RMT. We don't want to discuss how we plan to combat this, for the sake of security - but we take this issue very seriously ^_^

It has been made very clear that freeholds and nodes are designed to be temporary so anyone getting into them should be prepared for that and accept that.

The rise-and-fall nature of nodes, and the sieges players can hold on freeholds will see to this ^_^

In theory, there won't be a need for a specific server with a different set of standards. Our goal is to combat all of your concerns on all servers.

It's also worth noting that the monthly subscription fee won't be the only source of revenue for the game. ... Read more

It's interesting seeing which MMOs people recommend... But also a bit sad to see the lack of confidence in most of them :( As Liniker said, it's perhaps a not-awesome time for MMOs with good PvP features :(

I've enjoyed reading through this thread, though!

Just to make sure I understand, OP - Your concern is that other players may rush through the leveling experience during testing?

Rest assured that casual players are very important to us! Just as hardcore players are. Casual players and their contributions will still matter plenty on a server. For example, simply participating in many activities in a Node's ZoI, such as questing, gathering, or participating in an event, can contribute to a Node's success. Hardcore players may have an incentive then to support their casual counterparts, as it could benefit everyone! <3

Hi all.

Just a reminder to keep these discussions civil. Everyone has their own opinion and your opinion might differ from someone else's, but that doesn't mean you should resort to personal insults (towards individuals OR groups of players).

Attack the argument, NOT the person.

Thanks.

+1 to this.

We are a small community, and we all just want a good game. While I do disagree with jahlon not only in his views but also in his behavior, I don't like cancel culture.

lets stop with the drama and be nice, we had enough on the discord already, steven addressed this, apparently jahlon is removing the copy strike, and he is getting the consequences of his actions, I think that's enough. I'd like to ask if @Vaknar or @Roshen can please lock this thread so we don't go down this rabbit whole.

Well said, @Liniker. We all just want a good game!

Let's keep conversations civil. I'd love to go back to focusing on all the information dropped during this last stream, and focus less on content creator drama, personally <3

Hello glorious community,

Congrats to Bill Trost for the job and Intrepid for the hire! I hope he has a long and good career at intrepid and takes good care of the project we all care so much about

🙌🙌🙌

The packs are being designed with buildings / mobs / NPCs that will populate the world in mind! This is often reflected in the lore that is released with each pack <3

With that said, as Steven announced during the last livestream, we will be making some changes to how pre-order packs and cosmetic packs are delivered in the future <3 Stay tuned for more info on this!
