Love seeing all the in-depth follow-up questions and ideas the lore from the Extra Life stream has already generated <3 while I know that much of this is being kept close to Steven's heart prior to launch so that you have a chance to discover it for yourself in-game, perhaps you'd like to drop one of these in an upcoming live stream Q&A thread to see if you can pick his brain further in the meantime ;)

Tyty as always for your quick work on getting the AMAZING community wiki updated with all the latest info! <3

Long live The Ancients and may their reign of terror never end! 😈

Hiya folks! Wandering Mist's info above is indeed correct, in terms of node types and locations being pre-determined (not at random) and in parity across all servers!

To @insomnia's point, it has always been described this way as far as I know as well. You can check out more on where we've discussed this previously in our ... Read more

Oh my gosh <3 this seriously gave me chills to listen to, you did a phenomenal job! The lyrics are simply wonderful as well!

Just had to share this with our team too so they could appreciate it - gg and we eagerly await your next creation!

Tyty for grabbing this and timestamping it for folks who wanna jump straight to the lore @"Wandering Mist" ! <3 and ty @Damokles for the highlight summary!

Guess I'll have to wait another couple of years for some more...le sigh

I think these lore reveals have become a bit of a tradition now with Extra Life, so we'll just have to see about that ;)

Hi there - the Alpha One perk included with the Braver of Worlds Kickstarter/Summer packs (and above) was listed as an "invite to Alpha One" rather than a key, so it's most likely meant to be yours and tied to your account specifically. That being said, your Hero of the People pack also includes 10 additional Beta Two keys you will be able to give away to whomever you like, so feel free to spread the love there accordingly once we share instructions with you for how to do so! <3

I could be down with this. Wine from grapes for elves, mead from honey for humans, beer from barley for dwarves, and spirits from corn for orcs - something like that.

What are the Tulnar? Chopped liver???

Maybe this is where our friend Damokles can help...

I only know fermented mushrooms, yes-yes!

Mmm, delicious fermented mushrooms.

For reference, here's the handy dandy section of our Terms of Service that covers this accordingly:

"You agree that you will not buy, sell or trade, or offer to buy, ... Read more

Hi there - you can check out a bit more on where we've discussed the possibility for regional pricing (and how those regions may then be separated from the others) in the helpful community-run wiki here: https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Subscription_model

Amended my post accordingly to make it more clear :smiley: this does indeed refer to Embers, the currency that would be used in the in-game Shop - NOT direct in-game currency like gold per se.

Speaking personally, I've always wanted the superpower of flight - so I love seeing how some of these spells appear to be filling you with so much power that they pick you up off the ground with a flourish! That being said, we definitely appreciate seeing the variety of feedback you've shared here on the animations we've highlighted so far <3

Also uh...apologies if I blew out anyone's eardrums in the first video Thodric linked >>

Hiya! As some helpful folks in this thread have already mentioned and linked, Ashes of Creation will be a subscription-based game with no box cost after launch, where the only items available in the Shop will be cosmetic ones (no P2W).

The packs currently available in our Shop get you some bonus perks like guaranteed early access to testing, Embe... Read more

Ooooh these are some fun brainstormy ideas so far, and I'm loving the creative names you all are picking for them as well! Keep 'em coming <3

Maybe if enough folks turnip to support this idea during testing... 👀

*cough cough* https://intrepidstudios.com/careers *cough cough* there may just be some Environment Artist positions up your alley...

In all seriousness, thank you for sharing your very detailed thoughts in this post - I particularly loved your concepts for the different shapes each racial variant may manifest in their node layout, to give them more visual variety!

While we don't have any plans to adjust the terminology for your 8 archetypes leading to 64 classes at this time, we'll be sharing more info on what those unique augments would provide as we lead up to future testing, to give you a better idea of what to expect in terms of variety on that front <3

I think Jeff's description in the recent live stream shared above may help clarify that a bit further as well, in terms of setting expectations - though he does tweak the phrasing a bit 😄
