Group Finder And Matchmaking

Comment
    Vaknar on Forums - Thread - Direct
ICYMI here is a link to what has been said regarding a group finder in AoC.

In my own unbiased opinion, the idea of a bulletin board is a pretty good medium between either side of the spectrum (say, auto-grouping with a queue system vs walking up to people around you and asking them).

Freeholds and NPC

Looks like the wiki link to farmhand NPCs that can be hired was posted.

The idea of choosing specific NPCs with different stats and then assigning them to roles that you feel best befit them is an interesting conversation topic and might be worth forming as a question for the Q&A section of the next livestream! ;)

....We’ll be compiling a report for the design team on Friday, March 14 2023, so please try to get your feedback into this thread by then!....



@Vaknar You've currently got the compile-date as March 14th, instead of April 14th.

Always jealous when I'm waiting for the YouTube video to be posted, to watch the updates. I always make it for the live broadcast, when I've got the day off, though!





Nice catch! Thank you ^_^

Nice drop on that Dev Discussion! That was also my first thought when I read the OP ;)

The RP Community Must Unite or Die

While some may not see it, or agree, IMO - Roleplayers play a super important role in making a world feel alive.

Similarly to other thoughts in this thread, that might be through the storytelling of events that occur. However, it is important to us that roleplayers feel they have a home in Ashes of Creation. I believe we'll be doing a Dev Discussion on this topic in the future, and I can't wait to see what everyone has to say in addition to threads like these!

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Just because you disagree with someone's opinion, doesn't mean you're inherently right and they're inherently wrong.

You're free to disagree with the opinions of others but remember to be well unto one another! ^_^

Guild and Node Wars: White Peace and Surrendering?

Comment
    Vaknar on Forums - Thread - Direct

Hello @Vaknar , In EVE Online, we have reputable players who hold the deposit of money, and they only transfer the funds to the other party once it is established that both parties have fulfilled their promises...

I am a lover of player driven content, but there is a catch here, AoC needs a tiny system because it is not possible withdrawing money from the Node.

AoC differs from EVE in that you cannot withdraw the money from the Node and keep it for yourself. In EVE, however, it is possible to take the corporation's money and abscond with it. In fact, scamming is one of the 108 careers suggested by the developers.

I think AoC requires a system for using the Node's money to pay ransoms. To facilitate this, a window should be created where the mayor can allocate funds from the node.. Even citizens and non-citizens should be able to donate money by walking up to the Node's bulletin board, clicking the ...

pro's and cons with development updates

Comment
    Vaknar on Forums - Thread - Direct
We're just as excited to participate and play in Alpha Two as everyone here. It's challenging at times to remain patient for the game. Open development is bittersweet when you're excited, as some have already pointed out.

We try to show off content as soon as it's ready to be shown off. We know there are some specific systems that players want to learn more about. The teams that work on those systems are hard at work, and we are excited to show off as much as we can, as soon as it's ready!

@Arya_Yeshe

So, do you think this would only work if it were an integrated system? Or, do you think players could make social and verbal agreements that could accomplish such actions and goals (for the most part)?

I think when there are opportunities to make verbal agreements like this, politics, intrigue, and sabotage become more.. interesting?

Prevent Data Mining?

Comment
    Vaknar on Forums - Thread - Direct
Interesting to see an array of opinions on data mining. I could understand arguments for or against it, speaking from personal experience with other MMOs I've played.

I believe there will be some stuff that the team does not want data mined... This could make for a potential question for our next Q&A! :wink:

The Flavors of Fellaren

Post


Some seek glory by facing off against the most fearsome and ferocious beasts Verra has to offer, in barbaric and bloody battles to the death. Others seek the same monstrosities, but for very different reasons. These gastronomical gladiators risk their lives every day, not for gold or looted valuables, but for the finest tantalizing cuts of fresh monster meat. Unless you’ve experienced the intense flavor of honeyed cyclops tenderloin infused with fresh rosemary and sage, slow cooked for eight hours, it’s difficult to understand their obsession. Recipes like this are closely-guarded secrets for the Gingham Chefs, a consortium of culinary artisans who have devoted their entire lives to mastering the creation of such delectable dishes. With exceptional dedication and patience, the Gingham Chefs are famous for their unparalleled ... Read more
