Oh god, I don't think I will make it due to an exams test.

What kind of resource pools do you plan on different archetypes having?

I.e. is everyone going to use mana/magicka (MP) as their primary offensive resource, or will less magic oriented archetypes such as rogues or fighters use "energy"/"stamina" or something similar?

And if so, how does that function with the secondary archetypes?

Nothing is being pushed down your throat and Intrepid is very open with development.

I mentioned this in a previous Q&A but wanted to see if there was further though and/or discussion.  We know there will be different professions but I was interested in knowing if there was going to be a Scribe "profession" or something like it.  Just some thoughts on it as it could be used to create scrolls, books, ledgers, etc.

How will you prevent the sale or any form of agreement for the sovereignty of the castles among the bigger guilds? 

ArchivedUser

Would you be able to Private message me an alpha 0 key? Please  ^_^

We've heard little to nothing about the Fighter archetype. How do you plan to make the Fighter an interesting and compelling archetype, and with what differences (if any) will there be from the traditional 'warrior' class from other games (besides not being a tank)?

ArchivedUser

Since you mentioned that nodes will be able to ally and wage war, would it be possible for there to be a world war?

ArchivedUser

How expandable is the plot of land in the freehold for the farm?

ArchivedUser

When a node progresses from one stage to the next, will that be a gradual process by having additional houses show up over the course of several hours/days, or will it happen instantaneous?

ArchivedUser

Will currency have weight in the game? Example: A player being able to hold millions to billions of gold on their body at one time, or will we have limits to how much we can carry? Also, part two of this question, will the Caravan system transport currency between town nodes?

Crafting Question:

Is crafted gear actually worth wearing or will PVE drops be the go to if you want to be good?

I want to make a name for myself as a artisan of some sort.

ArchivedUser

With the implementation of the stock market in-game, will we be able to have a phone app to follow the market while we're offline? (Or online and actively playing, too?)

ArchivedUser

How extensive will the tavern, shops, LIBRARIE?!? Customization be? And will we be able to make shops like libraries, art shops(make a paint engine kek), information shops, map shops, etc? And will the character creation be like ESO or more like world of Warcraft and wizard101?

Non Ashes related question:  Do you guys have any comments about what recently occurred with Gazillion Entertainment and the Marvel Heroes game?  I know it's a different kind of MMO from this, but it just seems like kind of a disappointing incident for the industry that things went down the way they did.

Ashes related question:  Will I be able to have a massive Mohawk and head tattoos for my dwarf?  Please?

I posted about it, and I feel it was wrong on many levels. I just hope they all found new jobs right away. To the question about Mohawks, it would be wrong not to include them in the game. I am looking forward to seeing many Mohawk cut Dwarf types. lol

Is there a chance for half races? like Half Elf and such?

Will there be any "annoying" mechanics?

Example 1: you got disease on you that hurts you for 1 damage each second, and lasts 30 minutes, and you can't open your freehold door or use market because you're getting interrupted.

Example 2: You got damaged by a trap in dungeon, and got slowed 80%, but you have no medication and trap lasts forever, so you gotta run 200km to the city with only 20% of normal speed.

Ha  I'm just trying to imagine a scenario where they say yes to this. 

Yeah of course we're gonna implement some annoying mechanics, who doesn't want to play an annoying game.

Can players expect to see the standard forms of crowd control in abilities? Meaning stuns, roots, snares, and silences? And will these crowd controls have a reduced effect in pvp?
