I would assume the season length could be adjusted over time based on player feedback as well? For example, maybe the "optimal" length is something like 10 days (hypothetical example).

Or perhaps player actions in-game could influence the seasons to change more slowly or more rapidly. For example, maybe a particular node that has been highly developed is particularly optimized for harvesting autumn resources... perhaps the citizens of that node could take part in some sort of ritual to extend autumn, but it gets more expensive the longer autumn is extended. This could also drive animosity between that node's owner and the owner of a node who was prepping to maximize the coming winter increasing opportunity for conflict.

We always want to take player feedback into account. While we hope to get most of this ironed out during testing phases, there will be things that get adjusted over time.

To your other point, yes, part of the triggers for seasonal change in Ashes of Creation won't be just time. Seasons may change more slowly or rapidly due to player action (or inaction 😎).

Crops, harvesting, gatherables, and the impact of seasons on these systems and the in-game economy are part of why we're targeting this timeframe for seasons.

We spoke a little bit about the length of seasons, and why we're exploring 1-2 weeks per season during the May Development Update (timestamp to the conversation here). This may change during testing, as we get specific feedback from players, after they get to experience the impact of seasons for themselves.

This is an old combat animation, right?

It most likely is!

mmmmm hmmmmn
The problem with this WWYD is that I would prefer to give the loot to the Goblins in a diplomatic attempt to boost faction rep, but... that's never an option in MMORPGs.

Those would certainly be some diplomatic goblins, in that case 😅

Is there any way for us to see which cosmetics are upcoming so I can plan when to purchase?

We announce the new cosmetic packs (that replace the outgoing ones) at least 1 day in advance!

OK! I guess some people ( @Talents , @PenguinPaladin , @CROW3 ) are liking that rowboat 👀

I'm curious, what is it that you guys like about it, specifically? Are you wanting to see more hot rowboat content 🥵🤔?

Are the polls just commenting on Social Media or is there a poll I am not seeing?

Good question! So, on Twitter and Instagram there is a poll. As for Facebook and LinkedIn, you can leave a comment with what you'd like to happen!

We are continuing to work with our design team to provide details regarding which buildings the freehold skins can be applied to, as well as ship and caravan skins. We will provide more information in the future. 💕
