Office Hours: Freehold Discussion - Weds, July 19, 2023 at 11AM PDT

Comment
Thank you all for the Freehold system feedback!

I moved some discussions regarding feedback for the Freehold system into the official feedback thread on Freeholds here: https://forums.ashesofcreation.com/discussion/55773/feedback-request-alpha-two-freehold-preview-shown-in-june-livestream#latest

As a reminder, this thread is for feedback regarding the Office Hours program! <3

The office hours discussion

Hiya! We do record Office Hours for internal use only.

In order to share the recordings with players, we'd need consent from everyone involved. This isn't easy to do, and doing so would likely change the nature of Office Hours.

For now, Office Hours is live only! We currently alternate the times between 11am PT and 4pm PT! <3

Charms and Good Fortune

Post


There is a legend among the Vaelune people of a lovely young fallaḥa, or “female commoner,” who went by the name of Samia. According to tradition, Samia fell deeply in love with the devilishly handsome and impossibly ancient djinn spirit Nuahaibu, whom she called “Aibu.”

With no wealth to speak of, and little else of value to proffer as an offering, Samia went off in search of a treasure of great value that might make her more appealing as a potential mate. The search took her all across Verra, until eventually, by sword, by guile, and by good fortune, she found just the gift. Samia discovered five rings of gold, so dazzling to behold that the djinn recognized their great value and unequaled beauty the moment he set eyes upon them, and knew that they must be his. Thus, the djinn and the fallaha haggled back and for... Read more

(POLL) What size guild would you like to join?

I'm a medium guild-size enjoyer personally! I like something in which there are always people online, but not so many that you start to feel like you don't know anyone ^_^

Presumably there will be a communal plot inside a node's settlement? Or maybe you'll get some planting-tubs in your apartment that you can put your seeds in.

Would removing gifting and direct sales eliminate all kinds of RMT?

Comment

Unfortunately, there are many ways people will use and abuse systems for RMT. We don't want to discuss how we plan to combat this, for the sake of security - but we take this issue very seriously ^_^


Freeholds: A Worthwhile Investment?

It has been made very clear that freeholds and nodes are designed to be temporary so anyone getting into them should be prepared for that and accept that.



The rise-and-fall nature of nodes, and the sieges players can hold on freeholds will see to this ^_^

Idea: $20 per month &quot;Competitive&quot; Servers

Comment
    Vaknar on Forums - Thread - Direct
In theory, there won't be a need for a specific server with a different set of standards. Our goal is to combat all of your concerns on all servers.

It's also worth noting that the monthly subscription fee won't be the only source of revenue for the game. ... Read more

It's interesting seeing which MMOs people recommend... But also a bit sad to see the lack of confidence in most of them :( As Liniker said, it's perhaps a not-awesome time for MMOs with good PvP features :(

I've enjoyed reading through this thread, though!

The freehold mechanic that will ruin the game

Just to make sure I understand, OP - Your concern is that other players may rush through the leveling experience during testing?

Casual vs. hardcore players as seen by Steven

Comment
    Vaknar on Forums - Thread - Direct
Rest assured that casual players are very important to us! Just as hardcore players are. Casual players and their contributions will still matter plenty on a server. For example, simply participating in many activities in a Node's ZoI, such as questing, gathering, or participating in an event, can contribute to a Node's success. Hardcore players may have an incentive then to support their casual counterparts, as it could benefit everyone! <3

Hi all.

Just a reminder to keep these discussions civil. Everyone has their own opinion and your opinion might differ from someone else's, but that doesn't mean you should resort to personal insults (towards individuals OR groups of players).

Attack the argument, NOT the person.

Thanks.



+1 to this.

Also, be sure to leave your constructive criticism on the official thread, here: https://forums.ashesofcreation.com/discussion/55773/feedback-request-alpha-two-freehold-preview-shown-in-june-livestream/p1

About the AoC Community , Jahlon and Narc.

Liniker

We are a small community, and we all just want a good game. While I do disagree with jahlon not only in his views but also in his behavior, I don't like cancel culture.

lets stop with the drama and be nice, we had enough on the discord already, steven addressed this, apparently jahlon is removing the copy strike, and he is getting the consequences of his actions, I think that's enough. I'd like to ask if @Vaknar or @Roshen can please lock this thread so we don't go down this rabbit whole.




Well said, @Liniker. We all just want a good game!

Let's keep conversations civil. I'd love to go back to focusing on all the information dropped during this last stream, and focus less on content creator drama, personally <3
