Glad Midsommar 😊 ha en bra dag!

I'm giving myself a rule pass since I broke the rules here 🥺 forgive me 😂😅

Are we thinking about the same dwarven race? Current model for Dunir below.

My thought exactly!
@Tharmekhul (OP), are you looking at the Dwarves shown in Alpha One? I'm curious if you've seen those but not the update (post Alpha One) versions of the Dwarves c:

As @keenow stated, there will be 'lumber yard' buildings. We'll need to stay tuned as the design and engineering teams progress further in development for any updates on this system^_^

Feel free to ask this question in the livestream Q&A if you haven't asked a question there yet, though! 😊

With every decision such as this one, there are pros and cons. I believe the current standing is that the NDA will be lifted for Alpha Two in a similar way it was for Alpha One.

With that said, these things are subject to change, so we shall see as we get closer to the release date of Alpha Two and further in the development process ^_^

What features are you excited about with Alpha Two?

I know the team here at Intrepid Studios is always looking at the latest technology to see what would make sense for our team to implement! So, we shall see ^_^

Very interesting video and obviously relevant to the genre and to this game! I certainly have fond memories of my early days of playing MMORPGs.

I also have some very fond memories of WoW from post-WoTLK when they added some of those core features that reduced the need for socialization.

I think they were correct by saying that there is a goldilocks zone of perfection when it comes to game design for MMORPGs.

Either way, I look forward to creating new memories in Verra with you fine folks 😉

Side note: The narrator brings up an interesting point about how one can struggle in the moment, but look back at overcoming adversity fondly. I'd love to hear some examples from you all on moments such as these!

I apologize if this is not the right thread, but this seems like the right people to ask.

Do you believe that the System Requirements listed in the wiki still be sufficient for Alpha 2?

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/System_requirements

For me, the cost of Alpha 2 is not just the Pledge, but a gaming PC as well.

Thank you.

There is a good chance that the system requirements change more than once between Alpha One and the full release of the game <3

There will be various different armor pieces that have some sort of revealing nature to them! One example of this is the Black Scale Imperator set. I myself hope my character is able to intimidate their enemies with epic chest hair 😈

It would be very interesting to see the difference. However, both will be at different levels of optimization between their respective testing phases. So, it might not be a holistically accurate comparison, even if you are able to find the numbers to compare the two!

Certainly a hotly debated topic in the community..

My hope is that when Alpha Two releases, players who aren't familiar with or perhaps not overly enthusiastic about true open-world PvPvE / PvX will see how it works and perhaps better understand what makes it fun. It certainly isn't for everyone. I think that some people will be surprised with how well it can work, though!

Perhaps some of you can share interesting or fun open-world PvP stories for those who are hesitant about the feature? ^_^

Hello! Currently, we are not in an open testing phase. We haven't announced a release date for our next texting phase, which will be Alpha Two. You can read more on that here: https://support.ashesofcreation.com/hc/en-us/articles/360016315013-What-are-the-Alpha-Beta-Release-dates-

If you'd like to support the game's development, you can purchase a pre-order pack (https://ashesofcreation.com/shop). Just know that if you do that, you won't be able to access Ashes of Creation immediately. You'll need to wait until we announce and then release the next testing phase!

This is a really neat idea! I personally didn't play Lineage 2. I also haven't played many truly OWPvP MMORPGs. With that said, I haven't experienced anything quite like this. It sounds like a ton of fun to play through.

It also reminds me a bit of the plot of Sword Art Online for those fellow weebs who might be familiar with it, lol.

I'd love to hear more interesting ideas added to this one! Show me what you've got 😉

You can learn more about the Tulnar and what has been said on them here, on the wiki! https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Tulnar

What features excite you all about the Tulnar?

While there are a number of reasons that make this option unlikely to happen, we hear your concern.

We will have robust systems in place to combat cheating, so rest assured that this is a top priority for us!

I've seen a few people share this sentiment across our channels! There is a chance that our artists and designers will make that model and rigging into a mount at some point! It may end up being an in-game achievable mount, but we will have to see what they decide to do :)

We certainly hear you on this, though! ^_^

No we dont need PVE servers, get baited.
...
There are risks and rewards in this game. If Frodo went to Mordor in a PVE server would that be fun?NO
...
Its like going to McDonalds and ask for Pizza because you dont like hamburgers, makes no sense.

Well, you certainly bring some compelling and thought-provoking arguments to this topic 😂

I totally hear you. Although, I thought what @Dygz said -

Dygz

If it didn't detract from development time, I would love to see one "PvE Server" just to see what it looks like.
Even just to prove to people that it won't work.

- Is also a very interesting thought. I also wonder what a PvE server would look like in the game and what decisions our design team would do to make something like that work, but remain in the ethos of Ashes of Creation!

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 - Gear Color Customization
How do you feel about dying your gear? How far would you like the system to go? Do you prefer a full-color range that allows for some odd color combinations, or a more limited one that preserves visual fidelity and realism?

Keep an eye out for our next Dev Discussio... Read more

I'm very excited to see what you have in store for us all! 🥺👀
