Official Livestream - July 9th @ 3 PM PST - Q&A thread

Will the game have specific animations for player characters that players can be trigger with a chatbox command?

For instance, if I type "/cheer" will my character clap and shout triumphantly?

If so, how extensive will these commands be? Will there be different "Personality" sets containing slightly different Idle animations and facial expressions that I can either equip as a cosmetic, or activate with a command?

Such as "/injured" causing my character to move as though he is in pain, "/drunk" allowing me to stumble around in an inebriated manner, or "/angry" causing my character's face to grimace and/or scowl instead of using the default facial expression animations.

Hello cast magic spell system will be same like we see?

I mean this system "press hotkey to push fireball" and wait 5 second is rly boring

More atmosphere to the game maybe will give system like this from Arx Fatalis

Feeling is like we rly cast something and give nice atmosphere to the game.

When someone go melee with us we still can cast everything this is hmm strange

If I am to make 2 alts so I can Mine, Process and craft one particular type of end-item. can my processor and end-crafter be lowbies? would it be enough for my main to be the miner since theoretically he would be the one running around in the world?

Will it be possible to switch running animations ingame? I have experience of looking hours onto a character with a weird way of running leading me to switch race/gender/class. In real life different people also run in slightly different ways and especially in this game where you can focus on exploring running is a huge part.

Any information on the estimated duration of Alpha 1 and its time frame(s)?
e.g 2 months each phase, two times a week the servers will be available for XX hrs

Please confirm that the only way for a player to rid themselves of corruption is by dying or going through a long holy quest line.  #NoMindlessGankersHere please!

Will primary "support" classes such as Bards have enough benefit for multiple characters' abilities to overlap in a raid setting and still remain effective? Or will a typical raid only want 1 Bard per raid rather than potentially as many as 1 per group?

Hello friends at Intrepid,

(The only Devs in history who actually feel like friends)

 

     Games such as BDO and GW2 have done large scale PVP in a way that has created extreme expectations for ashes’ node wars. The world versus world in Guild wars is unbelievably smooth and has created amazing memories for many in the MMO community. People have invested thousands of hours into these PVP systems because of how diverse and polished the battles are.

 

Question: Do you think that AoC’s Large scale PVP in Ue4 can live up to these ultra-high standards? Or even better, surpass them? If so, what are some big steps you have/are taking to accomplish this goal?

Thanks for all you have done so far!

You mentioned a while back that you might lift the NDA for Alpha 0. Is that still something you might do before A1 or no? #PrayingToTheSandalGodForGoblinPowers

Here are a few questions i had.

-Can we expect to see talent trees and how will they be presented. Will they be like vanilla wow format or something more linear?

- Can we expect a shapeshifting class?

-Will the system be tab target or more action? Is there a way that a player can choose which they would prefer to use?

- How will mob respawn times be handled? In the case of questing in large populated areas. 

- Will their be attunments to enter raids?

-Will their be special items we can get for having high reputation with certain factions?

-How will loot drops be handled for dungeons and raids? Will their be several options to chose from or will it be personal loot? 

-Will the interface be changeable? Will we be able to modify and move the acions bars, name plates etc?

- How will bag slots work. Will their be a fixed amount or can we find and or craft bags to increase the space?

-Will their be an ingame quest gps or will people have to figure it out on ther own?

- Will we have built in threat meters?

Will there be nature and earth magic, or perhaps deities that clerics choose which will modify their skills/heals?

The class table looks great but the absence of ‘Druid’ when there are 64 classes is disappointing.

I have a question about religions Nodes.  If you select a evil/corrupt God and level your Node with that focus, at some node level will that effect neighboring nodes and players?  Also i assume it would unlock new PVE changes int hat area of the world.  And would it decrease the corruption received from PVP on non combatants.?

Hi,

For EUROPE, I hope IntrepidStudio will be the official distributor and not a patnership with a kind of EA or other distributor...

Which languages will be available at realease in add of English ?

Has the AoC team had to step back and pivot in an entirely new direction? If so, what was it and why?

For Class customization, when combining two classes together will it just alter the skills from the originally picked Class? Or will the Skills become completely different? For example a player chooses Tank for their first Class, then Summoner and becomes a Brood Warden. Will the Tanks skill "Bulwark" just change aesthetically (E.G. Summons undead bodies rising to make the wall and knock down enemies) Or will the skill change mechanically (E.G. Summons 5 armored undead which block X amount of damage taken and pull up to 3 enemies in when attacked at range). Thanks for your great work and keeping the community up to speed! Loving the progress made so far.

Will it be possible for tavern owners to create quests for food materials offline? That way I can still provide players with food for sale while I'm at work through my NPC?
