How did this briefly derail into holiday cosmetics and then get back on topic 😂

So, the consensus is no cat girls, but all-in on candy cane swords? /s

Also, we don't know when the Alpha2 will start, but they're supposed to tell us the quarter of the next year during the december's stream (in 8 days).

Nice assist, @NiKr :)

Great back and forth going on in this thread, which is so fun to read through c:

Are there any other 'Why is this always the case, and could it be done differently?' ideas yall can think of?

Another interesting question that could be added is if the answer is yes to any of the OP questions; how would you enact that? Would it be a toggle, setting, something to earn, etc? :)

Correct me if I'm wrong or confused, but after reading the OP, I thought @Dripyula was referring to corrupted essence, rather than ... Read more

Nice catch and ty for sharing that over here on the forums!

The team is hard at work on Alpha Two and is excited to launch it next year! I know a lot of us want to get as much as possible into its launch, but some things won't come until after :)

Very well put together thread :) You did a great job of using visual examples to supplement your points!

As always, we appreciate your feedback and understanding that everything we show is Alpha gameplay, and a work in progress! <3

The Winter Harvest Bowl sounds juuuuuust like chili. I love me some chili. Also, Py'Rai, so there's that. Scoop me up a bowl please!

It's more like a salad ;)

But a bowl of Moonblossom is the perfect way to bring in the new year! What better way to give thanks to the moon that has guided our long nights?!

Ope! Moonblossom is the name of the drink ;) The Winter Harvest Bowl is a savory and healthy dish :D

They're all separated so the dish is first, and the beverage is second <3

Ice AND Fire?
I dont know what this is, but i am very interested.

Instead of this dish being 1 large dish, it's two smaller dishes! Think of it like street food :)

I'm hoping the brew is warm, feeling sick on the holidays is no fun.

It is warm indeed ;)

Dev Discussion - Drop Rarity

How do you feel when it comes to rare loot? Do you prefer when rare mobs and boss mobs drop something interesting often or less often?

Something that I've been wondering for a while is if we really need the three tiers of the primary currency that we have seen so far in AoC. It appears that Ashes of Creation has a system similar to World of Warcraft where 100 copper is equal to 1 silver, and 100 silver is equal to 1 gold. If we have these three currencies then I should expect to see items with values of a silver or less, otherwise copper serves no real purpose. Based on what I've seen so far, even low level players will be acquiring silver and gold as rewards far more than simple copper.

I feel that if players are always going have enough money in their bags to ignore the existence of copper, then keeping it in the game just becomes information bloat. Lets look at it with USD. Would having a coin that is 1/100 of a penny make your life any easier? People already complain about having to deal with change now that almost everything costs more than a dollar. Addi...

The wind and its effects are adjustable ;) There are different reasons why the weather might change. The team might have wind "turned up high" during most livestreams, but there will likely be variance in weather depending on different variables <3
