Could you elaborate on how the world's lore influences the magical systems, such as a mage's abilities and the enchantments on armor and ingredients?
I'll try it again.

Are one handed daggers a planned weapon (not referring to dual daggers), and furthermore, as a long time pathfinder/3.5e fan, I wonder if Ashes will involve Dex penalties of some sort for wielding a shield.

Will the waiting period for changing Node Citizenship be shortened or removed during Phases 1 and 2 of Alpha-2?

Server Reset Question, I understand there are intended resets throughout the Alpha 2 Phases
If Guilds / Friend Groups are able to get onto the same server, and if servers reach Pop Cap. How will resets impact getting back on the same servers people were on before. Will there be a rush to try and get your spot or will server accounts be persistent in some way?

Re: Instanced PVP (Arena and/or Battlegrounds)
I did one back in February
https://forums.ashesofcreation.com/discussion/58885/the-arena-thread/p1
Then E-Sports got brought up
And people got confused between the 2.
Was a back and fourth nightmare 😂
What I tried to do from the start of that Arena Thread was compromise with the Ashes direction of the game as-well as keeping an end game high skill competitive level with fewer numbers than the original 8v8 design to offer something different yet more noticeable on individual talents & skills (ie 3v3 & 5v5) - already confirmed
The compromise I tried to get with was having reasons, upgrades to still go out into the OW and experience the other modes such as dungeons & raids to stay relevant, experience the entirety of the game but also was a choice of weather you wanted these slight upgrades to give you an advantage to climb the leaderboard of the Arena, so that way was a win/win, and everyone gets to pick how they want to play their story, makes it easier with Seasons too

Re: Ashes of Creation must dodge this bullet
In a game with 16 gear slots and new potential items for those slots every 5-8 levels, even if you do what I like and have the very conservative 'player does something for 60 minutes and gets 1 reward', you still 'need' to give out twice as many gear pieces as you give out levels, to keep pace. If this seems irrelevant, gimme a moment.
I disagree on that. I will not waste time to find gear with such a fast levelling. I'll wear the strict minimum shit stuff till max level. By minimum I mean enough to resist in PvE only. Low level PvP will exist only at the launch of the servers, then no one will PvP before max level so no need to find PvP gear.
And if you have the skill for this, that's fine. As long as this isn't the response of the average-skill player.
There just doesn't need to be any outcome where the player with only a basic understanding of builds and gear is successful without working to gain that understanding. There's nothing wrong with 'you being able to skip some gear levels'.
Your skill (or the people carrying you, if you lacked skill) would be the thing making up for the fact that you were wearing the bare minimum to go through leveling.

Re: Next Livestream + Q&A Submission - Friday, September 27, 2024 at 11am Pacific
Can you please set the timezone of one of the US servers to an Australia/East Asian timezone? That would help us to co-ordinate and make sure we don't miss out on prime time node wars etc.
