The Twitter feed is due to a somewhat recent API change on Twitter's end, to my best understanding. If you're signed in to Twitter on your browser, the feed should appear normally. If you're not signed in, you'll see the same old tweets, as others are describing.

There are a lot of changes we'd like to make to the forums before Alpha Two, and certainly before release. As @TheDarkSorcerer mentioned, this is a template from Vanilla! We appreciate this feedback, and I'll bring this up with the team. Thanks all! <3

Really looking forward to it.

Maaybbeeeeee this could be a Q&A question :)

This could perhaps be a decent question for the Q&A ;)

I can't personally speak on the technical side of the transition. However, I assume there are resources out there for a better understanding of Unreal Engine! :)

There're no different types of servers for Ashes https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Server_types

And afaik it's industry standard to have "low/mid/high population" indicators during the server choice stage of login.

The only way for you to "pick the right server" is to get involved with the game's community before release and see what's their plan for servers is. There'll be community-designated RP servers, streamer servers "pve" servers and "pvp" servers, but Intrepid have nothing to do with that.

Nice wiki drop 😏👍

This discussion was fun to read through! We're doing some Dev Discussions on loot soon. I'd love to see some of these thoughts brought there, when that day comes :)

This is an interesting thought-starter :) In fact, there were a few discussions around this idea of both the Tank and Cleric Office Hours discussions! If you haven't joined in on those, and you enjoy discussing topics like this, then I highly recommend them :)

We're doing one next week on Nodes! https://forums.ashesofcreation.com/discussion/56269/office-hours-village-node-discussion-tues-sept-19-2023-at-11am-pdt#latest

I'm happy that after a year, my desire of walking NPCs came true looking at the Village Showcase :).

\o/ Woo!!

Nice assist, @NiKr :)

@Jedimenez There is soooooo much information on that community-run wiki. I highly recommend you dive down the rabbit hole! <3

Hi! I will leave a link for an official video by Intrepid that explains how the system works, and a link for the wiki which is updated, there is a lot more to it and its a little different from what you are asking ^^

💪♥😏👊 Nice assist, @Liniker !!

I'm fairly sure it's just this
https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Static_housing

The caravansary is right outside of the village walls, so it's obvious that the node's footprint is bigger than what the walls indicate.

😏👊 Nice

Interesting thoughts and observations here in response to OP's desire to get into the game!

We're just as excited if not more so, to hop into Verra and play with the community! We're working hard to get the game into a state we're proud of so that we can play with everyone as soon as it's ready! <3

@Vaknar could you post the image mentioned in the thread? pls

There ya go, friend! <3 ☝

As requested, here is the Dev Discussion - Dream Nodes image without the Dev Discussion text! ;)

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 - Dream Nodes
What type of environment would you like to spend most of your time in? Whether it is in a certain biome or a strategic location, what makes a node desirable to you?

Keep an eye out for our next Dev Discussion

I think this would be something to test in practice and see how it feels during alpha 2 when we can give critical feedback.

Exhausting stream.
40 minutes of talking without saying much we didn't already know. Alpha 1 compared to Alpha 2 nodes were just some visual updates. 99% of the people won't use the major menu anyway.

Thank you for the livestream feedback! Do you have any feedback for what was shown on the stream itself as well you'd like to share? <3

TheDarkSorcerer

@Vaknar Noo i missed the stream. Is it possible for your team to post in IG story the day before with a countdown timer so you can get notified in app? I keep forgetting date/time because I don't use twitter and don't always have this forum open. My IG is always open though.

Oh no! I'm sorry to hear that you missed it! We may have missed the 'We're Live' notification on our IG story this time. I apologize for that! We will be posting the VOD tomorrow, and the gameplay section is currently live right now to view on YouTube! It's posted in the OP :)
