[2023] Office Hours: Village Node Discussion - Tues, Sept 19, 2023 at 11AM PDT

Office Hours is an opportunity to join the player discussion on topics we're actively collecting feedback on. Join @Roshen and @Vaknar over in the Ashes of Creation Discord for a voice chat during our next Community Office Hours on Tuesday, September 19, 2023 at 11AM PDT (convert to your local time). This event should last about one hour.

This is not a Q&A session. For this session, we will be using Discord Stage. Every 8 minutes, we’ll be bringing up small groups of players to participate in one of the discussion prompts on this topic.

DISCUSSION TOPIC

The Node system, based on what we shared during the August 2023 Development Update Livestream, will be our main focus this time. The forum feedback thread for this topic is here.

In this session, we’ll break each of the 8 minute segments up to focus on one of these conversations:

[list]
[*] General Node Discussion - How do you feel about the Village Node Update so far? Is there anything in particular you’re excited or concerned about regarding what was shown with the Village Node Update?
[*] Village Node Visuals - What are your thoughts about the visual fidelity of what was shown with the Village Node Update?
[*] Mayoral Activities - How do you feel about the responsibilities of a Node’s mayor? Examples include setting up Buy Orders, responsibility for Service Building Expansions, and setting taxes.
[*] Service Building Progression - How do you feel about Nodes choosing which Service Buildings to have, and the building skill tree to specialize and expansion buildings? How do you feel about the process for constructing these buildings?
[*] Dream Nodes - When it comes to choosing a Node for where you’ll become a citizen in the world of Verra, what makes Node locations desirable to you?
[/list]
If you’d like to contribute to this discussion, we recommend you watch the Ashes of Creation Alpha Two Village Nodes Update video, and review the slides that are in the Development Update with Village Node article before this Community Office Hours session.

Thanks again! We look forward to chatting with you all soon!
