Ashes of Creation Dev Tracker

Do we know for sure that processing will be safe?

Sure, maybe you can turn iron ore into ingots in your freehold. But if you are turning a giant's tusk into diresteel, then you need to do that in the heart of a volcano where firedrakes repeatedly spawn and try to burn you to ash. Or perhaps when you process wightstone from gathered ectoplasm, there is a chance that a vengeful spirit will appear and must be defeated to finish the process.

Yes, that is all crap I made up, but who's to say that Intrepid might not turn the processing part of crafting into just as much of an adventure as it is for the gatherers who have to roam the wilderness and dive into monster lairs?

An important thing to note is that raw resources will often need to make it to a freehold to be processed and then those processed resources need to make it from freeholds to a node for trade and crafting. Processors have their o... Read more

It's all fun and games while you're out gathering and questing until you turn around and see a giant world boss breathing down your neck :joy:

Never hurts putting ideas or things you'd like to see out there! I think many ideas, such as this one, make for good thought starters for the event system that will be utilized in Ashes of Creation :)

Side note, the open seas sure will be a formidable place with all of you PvP-loving, corruption-hating pirates out there! 😈😅

There's something especially cool about wielding a two-handed sword, imo :)

I love threads like these! This is a question we featured in a couple of our Office Hours sessions on Discord. Archetype and class fantasy is important and feeling attuned with the archetype/class you play is what makes playing it that much more special!

It looks like many people have answered the question for you :) But to reiterate, it is highly unlikely that any Alpha Two progression will carry over to launch :)

Hello Players

Your top 5 races across the Tolkien Inspired Multiverse?

1) Tiefling
2) Dragonborn
3) Tumerok
4) Moon Elves
5) Half Orc Half Giant

Your turn

Hmmm
1) Dwarves
2) Wood elves (lots of varients here)
3) Khajit from TES
4) Halflings/Hobbits
5) Celestial-esque, like Aasimar in D&D


I had to really think about these! :)

I'm curious, how long does it take to come up with and do the math for a post such as this one? It's quite impressive and interesting reading through posts with such meticulous thought put into them!

Man I sure would love to intern at IS ;)

They have so much fun :smile:

Work hard, play hard :wink:

Neat post going over different healing options and playstyles across notable titles in the genre! I enjoyed the videos you included. It's very cool that you have such depth with your healing resume ;)

I look forward to reading more experiences and stories in this thread! :D

Quite an interesting topic and an intriguing video. I would love to sit in on those design meetings to hear about the thought process behind a system that works that way.

Makes me very glad that I work for a studio that has a fervent appreciation for player feedback :) I'm also thankful that this community is such a passionate and diverse one! <3

Wish I had drip like this irl 😩

The tattoos look dope af imo

Totally agree! Also the way the eyes appear through the mask. Equally creepy and cool. :sweat_smile:

Love to see all the positive comments here!

This past year has certainly been eventful with updates and progress toward Alpha Two which has been so exciting to see with you all <3

Expanding the thread topic slightly...

Over the last few months and even moreso recently, I have noticed and increased richness and activity in the wiki. A year or so ago I would see additions based on only the content of the monthly updates. Now I see not only that but also a lot of additional information added to the wiki beyond what is in the updates. I get the impression (correct me if I am wrong) that quite a bit of info is going straight into the wiki that is not being revealed elsewhere. Several times I have looked at a 'non-updated' page and found it full of new things, or at least things I didn't remember being there.

I take this as a subtle hint of development progress.

All the info on the wiki is from public sources - you can click the little number next to a statement to see exactly where it comes from! :)

Well done on this articulated post, @Liniker :) Awesome job assembling your own and your communities thoughts on this subject!

I see what you and your community are communicating here. The team at Intrepid is still working on active blocking as it is not finished yet. We hope to show off the mechanic in more depth in a future livestream :)

I would love to see more posts like this giving feedback and suggestions on other topics in addition to this one!

Love seeing ideas and theory-crafting :) I look forward to when we're all able to test out the combat, especially in circumstances similar to the ones shown on this past livestream :)

Interesting thoughts happening here. The constellations were certainly a neat topic coming out of this last livestream! I look forward to learning more about the system as the team continues to work on it! ^_^

I'd love to hear more about your thoughts on how the constellation system should or could work in addition to what we know at this time :)

Interesting seeing the variety of opinions on group/solo content and the amount of which either should be present in a play session.

Keep up the great conversations, as I'm curious to see more people's opinions on this topic! :)

Loot boxes feel bad for this very reason. Sorry to hear about your experience :(
