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 --- Edit: Follow up questions!

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

@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 :)

RIP lil ducky. Long live The Applesmith.

It's fun and interesting to see all the different ideas surrounding maps and the idea of cartography! Preferences and opinions seem to range as far and wide as Verra on how maps, minimaps, exploration, and discovery should work! ;)

I personally love this topic. Discovery and exploration, especially in a game like Ashes of Creation where the world is constantly changing, is especially cool and important!

Keep up with the fun discussion and awesome thought-starters for ideas :)

from the wiki : Gear will have appearance slots (Transmutation/Transmog/cosmetic slots) that are used to copy the appearance of an item (in some cases)

so some items - more info here : https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Appearance_slots

Awesome wiki link!

OP ( @Jindoshi ) You seem to have created a few threads with questions about the game. This is awesome to see! :) The community-run wiki is an awesome resource for learning much about the game, including the answer to your question (as @Caww kindly linked!) <3

Interesting discussion! I love seeing thought-starters like this! Some good points being brought up - I think the idea of this being a social, hand-shake kind of contract could result in some interesting relationships being developed.. and possibly broken! :)

Hiya! The wiki is a great resource for learning about Ashes of Creation!

You can learn more about classes starting here: https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Classes

Love to see interesting thought-starter ideas and discussions! This has been a fun thread to read through!

Lot's of conversations about PvP, PvX, and PvE here! Some debate about what PvX is, or what it means to some people. There is a wiki page on this, with quotes from Steven on the subject! Might be interesting to some :)

Great first post and discussion! If you haven't checked it out, be sure to take a look at the wiki: https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Summoner Also, if you have a question about Ashes of Creation, be sure to ask it here on the Q&A! https://forums.ashesofcreation.com/discussion/56152/next-livestream-q-a-submission-thursday-august-31-2023-at-11am-pacific/p1

Certain regions will have "harmonized" subscription prices that better reflect their local economies. Harmonized regions will be segregated from other regions.[5]

We'll know if your country will be included (or not) closer to launch, @elsies67 ... but at least the devs have confirmed they've thought about it.

Thank you for the helpful answer! <3

We’d also like to inform our glorious community that the unannounced September Pre-Order Packs will be our final Pre-Order Packs. More information regarding this can be found in the FAQ at the end of this article.

THE END OF PREORDER MEANS THE START OF ALPHA >:)

Just to be clear for people reading this - We did not say this. There has been no announcement on Alpha Two dates at this time <3

What you're describing reminds me of the way that some mass sieges work in games like Battlebit Remastered, or also World of Warcraft Epic Battlegrounds such as Alterac Valley, if I recall correctly. In which there is an overall resource, and deaths (and sometimes other actions) reduce it for the enemy team.

Feel free to check out the official feedback thread for the June livestream here: https://forums.ashesofcreation.com/discussion/55773/feedback-request-alpha-two-freehold-preview-shown-in-june-livestream/p1

This topic is similar to one of the questions we offered to players! You might find some conversations and opinions in there interesting to you <3

Interesting thought-starter! A twist to this idea could be each individual tavern keeper keeping track of their patron's wins/losses! May not be a good idea, but figured I'd add it to the conversation here! :)
