Quick, what should we do?

Hi there! If I'm understanding your issue here correctly, you don't always receive that exact same error based on entering an incorrect username or password - only in certain instances. In particular, it sounds like you tried to enter your email address (which is both too long and contains special characters, neither of which are allowed for usernames), so you received the message regarding length and complexity requirements. If you were to just enter a username and/or password that were invalid, you receive the error message "invalid username or password".

I can understand how that may be a bit confusing based on the error message it provides seeming like it may be talking about your password when it's likely referring to your username (in this case, the fact that you're trying to enter your email address vs. your username), so I'll be sure to share that feedback with the team!

I'm going to go ahead and close this thread out now, but please don't hesitate to reach b... Read more

Oooh that steed is looking extra spooky for the season now! <3 Thank you for sharing these lovely creations with us, and we can't wait to see what you come up with next!

Hiya friends and welcome to the forums OP! I think a few potential "counterarguments" to this could come from the dynamic nature of the node system, and how much effort it would be to coordinate exactly the same results on different servers. For example, if nodes were levelled up in even a slightly different order, the vassal levels would look different meaning significantly different content could be unlocked across a similar area. In addition, there's also the possibility for ... Read more

GG on the info catch, this is one I definitely remember folks asking in our Q&A threads before! The VOD is up now on YouTube, so perhaps if you remember about when it was we can find a handy timestamp:

And BIG GG to Ashes Pathfinders on their 100th episode!!!

Hiya! In the original Dev Discussion thread, we certainly didn't mean to dump folks into one of two buckets - hence why we asked "what's your view", so you all could feel free to expand on it in whichever way you'd like! That being said, we definitely appreciate seeing some of the additional follow-up here on how to reframe possibilities for overgearing, which on its own likely has some immediate negative connotations for certain folks <3

I'm a big fan of the cape/cloak life as well, especially since for the majority of the time you're likely staring at the back of your character! Here's a quick look at some of the capes/cloaks we've revealed so far, including those that players were able to unlock in Apocalypse: https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Cloaks

And yes, there has only been one instance of "wings" so far that I'm aware of, and it's very specifically for that Angelic racial appearance that transforms your whole appearance and was included with the original Kickstarter tiers alongside the Demonic one.

Honestly, one thing that has bugged me greatly, to the point of annoyance is the animations in Ashes. I love the game and the concept. But during the castle sieges and stuff they've shown I could barely see the character Steven controlled. Never-mind the other players. Never-mind recognising a cast and have a chance to react accordingly.



Hiya friend! As we mentioned both before and after the segment that highlighted recent Castle Siege footage during our live stream, and we do our best to continue to reiterate in a variety of places, all of the animations and FX you've seen so far are works in progress/placeholder that will continue to be improved upon as we continue down the testing path! You may have even noticed some recent progress on that front in between videos as well :smiley:

We also still do plan to give you a variety of options for adjusting those on your end through the UI as well, so yo... Read more

Hiya! As some other helpful folks in this thread have already mentioned, there is indeed expansive lore behind the world of Verra - some of which has already been shared, but much of which will be up to you to discover in-game while you're playing!

In terms of "common ground" as OP mentions, while there is some lore fundamental to Verra itself, the ... Read more

👀 Some great theories in here so far in terms of how the leader of a divine node might best show their dedication and devotion over time!

While this will likely be something we share further details on as we release more information on the divine node type specifically, I might also recommend bringing your original question to an upcoming live stream Q&A session so our team can dive in further in the meantime!

Hiya - if we're talking just from a pure frame rate perspective (which is what it appears the OP's question is about), there weren't any forced FPS caps/limits in place during Apocalypse testing - though some folks may recall that you could set an optional frame rate limit for yourself if you liked.

In terms of testing that performance from a client perspective as well as keeping latency in mind, that will all be something we look for your continued feedback on in our upcoming test sessions <3

Hiya! Looks like some folks in this thread have already brought up some great points around the majority of dungeons being open vs. instanced, so you all will likely be exploring quite a bit to find a good spot that works best for you and your group. Plus, you never know what loot might be hiding around that next corner! ;)

There are certainly a lot of variables to consider in terms of power balance for both dungeons and raids as well, so I'm sure we'll be asking for all of your detailed feedback on tuning those knobs as we get deeper into testing <3

Greetings and welcome friend! We do indeed have a handy dandy link on our support portal that we've been keeping updated with our latest plans for testing and release: https://ashesofcreation.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360016315013-What-are-the-Alpha-Beta-Release-dates-

As this is more of a question than a discussion, I'm going to go ahead and move it on over to our Support & FAQ section, and close it out since you've gotten an answer! I recommend checking out or searching through some of the other threads in that ca... Read more

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 #24 - Overgearing
What’s your view on overgearing (aka "twinking")? Giving high(er) level equipment to low(er) level characters?

Keep an eye out for our next Dev Discussion topic regarding boss difficulty!

Hi there - while I believe previously we may have mentioned the possibility of additional support for languages like Italian, Polish, and Spanish in the future, at the moment we're primarily focusing on localizing in English, French, German and Russian. We'll continue to update this helpful article with more information on supported languages as we have further details to share!

I'm going to go ahead and close this thread out now and move it on over to ... Read more

Hiya! Looks like some folks above already provided you with a helpful link to the community-run wiki with more details on our plans for allowing you to customize your UI, plus Varkun is also spot-on in clarifying that everything that you've seen UI-wise is placeholder so far and will only continue to be improved/refined with your feedback during testing!
