This looks gorgeous! I love the extra touch you added of the skull stopper, and our snakey friend definitely looks like he's ready to slither his way into our hearts <3

Thank you for sharing this with us, and excited to see what 3D model you take on next! :smiley:

That's great, however, not so good considering these are timed sale items never to be repeated!



We totally understand.

You don't have to buy them. Feel free to wait for further information to come out as we release it for all the systems - like the Freeholds. We'll have other awesome stuff for you to attain in-game. Don't worry! ;) <3

Of course we'll have more fire-themed items in-game! (They won't look like these specifically, as these are EXCLUSIVE to this month's packages, but you can guarantee we'll have even more badass stuff in-game for you to attain. ;) )

I've been thinking about this since I saw it. What's the gate supposed to be a skin for as a freehold building? I can't tell for the life of me :D



We'll have more details on Freeholds and the different buildings you can put these skins on in the future. <3

I just don't want to make claims on something like that when it might not be the case in the future. hehe. Not that I am implying it won't be this October. (Also, "darker-themed" to one person might not be the same to another. It's all relative to an individual. =P)

Wow, thanks for actually addressing this so transparently! This is the kind of stuff the community really needs to see, people are used to getting stung by devs so it means a lot. Ty Margaret.

No problem. <3

The top prices are the addon prices after you've purchased the package that includes the level of item that you'd like.

Thanks for answering that for me. ;)

Hi friends!

I’d like to reiterate and address some comments.

These skins are part of our pre-order packages. The skins cycle monthly and are never available again for purchase. The packages include a nice amount of subscription time, embers (virtual currency for future cosmetics when the game is live), perks (name reservation), ability to purchase future pack skins as add-ons, and finally access to different alphas and betas.

Ashes, and Intrepid, will never provide gameplay benefits through purchasable items in our marketplace. We are 100% non-p2w.

I also do not agree with box-prices or charging for expansions/DLC. We are very transparent in the business model of subscription with cosmetic only marketplace.

I’ve also made clear that the cosmetics achievable in-game will be on par, and in the case of legendary skins, more elaborate than the shop items.

I respect and understand the opinion of rather having a box price in-place of ...

Once I start playing and I see someone go by on that snail mount and know that I can’t ever get it, I might quit. Maybe it’s only fair, truly, I get that. But I can’t change the way this will make me feel.

There will be other cool things in game for you to get, don't worry! <3

Don't have an answer yet on that front yet. We understand that it's a high cost for the time being, but rest assured, we're working out a solution. <3

I couldn't find costs for the different tiers, it might be cos I'm on mobile. Does anyone have the numbers?

When you go to the shop site, you don't see the cost? https://accounts.ashesofcreation.com/shop

That's PERFECTLY fine. =)

You do you! These are for folks interested in helping support the development of the game, but no one has to. <3

So how does this work with the releases? Do you have to buy a $375 pack each time you want the skins? I don't see any option to just buy the skins in the shop.



If you have already purchased a pre-order package, you can purchase the items individually as add ons going forward. (Make sure you're logged in. If you are still not seeing them and you have already purchased a package, please reach out to our Support team and they will assist you.)
