Don't suppose the old artwork is around anywhere for us to enjoy? Your artists are that talented that it'd be a shame to have missed out on anything they've done.

What he said @LieutenantToast ! I mean I had noticed the changing backgrounds, but I never really thought to properly appreciate them, and now I feel sad I never did. The one from last month, that was the dunir city you also posted on twitter right? I assumed it to be, but never actually did the whole right-click and open image in new tab thing.



So we also share the high-res versions of these pics with the wiki team each month, and if you check out the recent artwork section here, you c... Read more

Someone finally noticed!!!!!!! <3 <3 <3 So we actually change our background images/cover photos on every social media platform each month (new Twitter banner, Discord background, etc.), and the forum background is also updated to match that! For the most part they are from recent concept art that we've shared :smiley:

Hope you'll enjoy them now that you've noticed them :wink:

With the okay pumpkins under the validation pumpkins for the digital template. There are two of them that look like the shadow is altered in a way to make the pumpkin look more real. I'm confused on that part.



For both of the valid pumpkins, all of the lines in the template are completely intact and unchanged from their original version. In both cases, the shadow was created by adding extra color around the base of the pumpkin, without changing the lines in any way at all (the shadow was not part of the original template - it was added by each artist as part of their creation). As you'll notice on both, the lines have not been colored on or altered in any way directly. Hope that helps clarify things a bit further! <3

Glorious Ashes community - we're excited to continue our new series called Guild Gatherings! Guild Gathering topics are a "reverse Q&A" similar to our Dev Discussions, where we ask you about your thoughts on everything related to guilds.

Our team has compiled a list of questions we'd love to get your feedback on regarding guild tools, gameplay, your previous experiences, and more. Join in on our Guild Gatherings and share how your gaming family is special to you!


Guild Gathering #7 - Ideal Members
What characteristics make an “ideal” member for your guild? How do you set and communicate those expectations, and keep track of a member’s performance against them?

Keep an eye out for our next Guild Gathering topic regarding app integrations!

Glorious Ashes community - it's time for another Dev Discussion! Dev Discussion topics are kind of like a "reverse Q&A" - rather than you asking us questions about Ashes of Creation, we want to ask YOU what your thoughts are.

Our design team has compiled a list of burning questions we'd love to get your feedback on regarding gameplay, your past MMO experiences, and more. Join in on the Dev Discussion and share what makes gaming special to you!


Dev Discussion #33 - New Player Experience
What are some of the key elements you think should be introduced to a new player, and how much “hand-holding” do you generally like to see in a game?

Keep an eye out for our next Dev Discussion topic regarding character creation!

Hi there friend! As others in this thread have helpfully noted, you can check out some of the Pre-Order Packs currently available in our Shop here, which give you access to our Alpha and Beta test phases. If you'd like to participate in our ongoing Alpha One testing, the Adventurer Pre-Order Pack includes access to that!

In addition, I would recommend keeping an eye... Read more

Hi there friend - looks like folks already got you some helpful answers above! While you won't be able to change your primary archetype at all, previously we've shared that you will be able to change your secondary archetype with some level of effort.

I've moved this thread on over to our Support & FAQ section and closed it out - but please don't hesitate to reach back out if there's anything else we can help answer in the meantime!

Hi there friend - at this time, there is no way to spend your Embers in the Ashes of Creation Shop. If you'd like to grab the cosmetic items individually in the Shop each month, you can purchase them with your local currency using Stripe or Xsolla. Embers will be used to make cosmetic purchases in the in-game shop later down the line!

I'm going to go ahead and close this thread out now, but please don't hesitate to reach back out if there's anything else we can help answer in the meantime!

As you noted as well, cosmetic items are exclusive to the time they're available in the Shop, and once they're gone, they will not be available again in the future.

Hi there friend - looks like someone else already got you a helpful answer above! The cosmetics available in our Pre-Order Packs are only available for a limited time, and once they're gone from the Shop, they're gone for good!

I'm going to go ahead and close this thread out now, but please don't hesitate to reach back out if there's anything else we can help answer in the meantime!

Hi there friend! Answering your questions in order below:

[list=1]
[*] We haven't announced any end dates for when these upgrades will be available at this time, but we plan to let you know in advance!
[*] Same answer as above!
[*] There is a separate article for "What is included with my Kickstarter/Summer package?" that might make this more clear. If you were a Kickstarter backer and upgraded from Braver of Worlds to Leader of Men, you would get the Demonic/Angelic racial skins included automatically. You should also th... Read more
