Hi there! While we don't currently have an estimate for what you can expect for filesize at launch, we've been keeping our helpful support article here updated with our recommended specs for Alpha testing! We'll be continuing to update our support articles throughout testing and launch with the latest details on requirements and recommendations as we have them.

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 assist you with in the meantime!

Hi there! As others have noted above, the forum badges were included as Kickstarter perks originally, so those backers are reflected here accordingly with badges and roles. In addition, since Intrepid Pack holders are currently joining us for Alpha One preview testing, you may see them flagged accordingly as well!

While at the moment we don't have roles or badges set up for the current pre-order packs, we may look to add those in down the line <3

I'm going to go ahead and move this thread on over to our Support & FAQ section and close it out, but please don't hesitate to reach back out if there's anything else we can help answer for you in the meantime!

I'd say it depends on how much you like to have extensive button options on your mouse, so you can split your movements vs. abilities accordingly! I personally rock Razer's Naga Trinity for MMOs, which has easily swappable plates on the side for 2 buttons, 6 buttons, or 12 buttons. Typically I leave the 12 button option on so I can get a full hotbar on one hand :smiley: just my preference though!

My regular ol' work mouse is a Logitech though, since it's nice and light - so I'd say decide what matters to you in terms of features, weight, shape, etc., and go from there! There are definitely a lot of excellent options out there, but it really all comes down to your own personal preference <3

Hiya! We mentioned in our most recent Creative Director's Letter that we plan to launch the new website around the end of February. We also plan to share an article this month that will dive into more of the features we'll be continuing to update the website with after its launch!

Hi there! While not a direct cash balance on your account, our profile system does already have a section for you to view your Ember balance on the right-hand side, and you can choose the "Buy Embers" option to have some on hand if you so desire! Please keep in mind that these Embers will be used for in-game purchases (as they were in Apocalypse in the past), and any pre-order purchases in our shop currently only support IRL currencies.

Be sure to keep an eye out for an upcoming article that will be going into more detail as to the new features you can expect from the website, though most of the early updates will likely just be changes to improve the informational pages we currently have :smiley:

Hi there! Looks like some folks above already got you some helpful answers, in regards to both the banking/storage options available and their safety in the event of a siege. You can check out more on where we've discussed these systems on the community-run wiki here!

@Vhaeyne Heh - after I saw this kind of stuff in clips of Lineage 2, I started asking in the monthly Q&A's whether we'll see skimpy outfits. Steven was a big L2 player, but we still don't know his feelings about thongs and bikini bottoms in in AoC. I'm personally hoping it won't be in, as it subtracts from immersion, for yours truly.



We do indeed know his feelings on that front, and I believe I shared a ... Read more

Hi there! As some others have noted above in this thread, our plan is to provide you a rather in-depth character creator, and the options you have seen so far are just an early preview of presets for Alpha One! I would definitely recommend staying tuned for more detailed looks at the character creator as we get closer to having you help us test that out :smiley:

Hi there friend! Our moderation team received a multitude of reports throughout the weekend that there were identical messages being posted in the Q&A thread, and the exact duplicates were removed accordingly :smiley: as much as possible we like to encourage that folks share their unique questions in the thread, so we can get the chance to answer a variety of them! If you like a particular question and would like to see us answer it, please feel free to use that lovely "Like" button under any post!

Please keep in mind that we choose the questions for the stream randomly each month, rather than being based on how many likes or different iterations of the same question there are - that way more folks feel like they have an opportunity to get their questions answered, and it's more fair to everyone in the community! <3

Some folks have made some interesting points here already on different sides of this discussion - in terms of balancing what would help you get more familiar with a character so you made a more informed decision, vs. that being a tradeoff on immersion and your "choices mattering".

One of our planned Dev Discussion topics for this year is in regards to new player experience, so I'm excited to see more of what you all share here and in that upcoming thread!

whatever the hell a flanggler is



A flanggler is a beautiful and rare treasure to behold <3

As for our spiderbros here, who's to say it's not a prehensile tail? 🤔

The creatures of Verra are often a unique spin on IRL equivalents (even just the colors alone in the pic OP shared are likely a bit of a deviation from nature), so maybe it's to spin webs, poison you, or just to wave hi :tongue:

They may not respond to every suggestion on the forums, but they seem to be looking at them.



Oooooh you better bet we're looking at them 👀

I think a system like OP mentioned could certainly have some interesting potential depending on how it was implemented, and for certain games it does seem to have impacted community and developer relations in a positive manner. Would love to hear more examples from folks on how similar concepts have been implemented in other games you've played, and what worked well/didn't work well :smiley:

@Vhaeyne The costume cosmetics that are included in each month's pre-order set are indeed a full piece, and when you put it on it will cover your entire appearance. You will not be able to mix and match/toggle those pieces individually (other than your helmet) when you're wearing the entire costume.

This is partially why there is a separate category for accessories - those are able to be worn/equipped on a more individualized basis, so you can mix and match to your liking!

In terms of applying dye to cosmetic items, previously we've stated that they would affect certain tagged portions, and the "dyeability" would depend on the costume specifically.

Hopefully that helps clear things up a bit further! <3

Hiya! As I can't seem to find a solid reference at the moment for where we've discussed previously how visible "death" messaging would be to others in your area, I might recommend asking this in an upcoming live stream Q&A thread! <3

In the meantime, loving the thoughts folks are sharing here on what death messages/info you've found helpful in other games :smiley:

Hi there! Looks like a few folks above already got you some helpful answers on this topic, in regards to where we've shared information previously on these limited-time cosmetics, and the fact that there may be similar variations you can achieve through in-game means (even though it won't be the exact same item). There's also definitely the possibility of another Niküa-themed set in future months!

I'm going to go ahead and move this on over to our Support & FAQ section and close it out since it's been answered, but please don't hesitate to reach back out if there's anything else we can assist you with in the meantime!

Hiya! As a few folks above have noted, some of your early feedback on skills you're seeing (such as those in the Mage video) have led to direct changes from our team. For example, here's a quote from Steven on Discord from shortly before the holiday break:
