Ibarumarky's Question Collection

Hello peasants, brave warriors, glorious tamer, humble servants and beautiful maids! (To cut it short!)

I started to post on daily basis on twitter tweets for Ashes of Creation... but so far I got no reaction... so I change the battlefield to the forum and will try to list my meek questions here!

Hello @MediaAoC
I have questions about the node system. Technically about the freeholds.... so while I work at my freehold & level it up, additionally xp is generated and added to the node or how does it work?

The freehold nodes are separated from the nodes to avoid collision?

@MediaAoC and how far will metropolis spread? Will there be problems for existing freehold nodes?


@MediaAoC will there be the possibility to interact with npc?

For example 2 groups. One gets attacked by the other, and the player can decide to help the attacked or support the attackers?


@MediaAoC animal husbandry... do we just breed and create new mounts? It would be cool if they were able to fight alongside their owners?! Battle mounts... so what are your 2 cents about it?


@MediaAoC okay, I read there will be pets, mounts and livestock... but no mention of an animal that's both... mount and "battle" pet. Any informations regarding this point?


@MediaAoC good day! My daily question for you!
When you own a freehold, being a mayor or queen/king, is it possible to decide how the guards looks? For example.. for the feeling as a necromancer... undead or skeleton guards?

@MediaAoC Hello Again! A wonderful day for another question.
Guilds alliances. What's about nodes? Could there be a huge metropolis with several guilds who all are involved in the political affairs? Is it possible to rule one city with more than two guilds?


@MediaAoC just before it's late.... a new daily question. 😎

Do you have any new infos regarding the guild system? Cap is 300, yeah but they get less perks compared to a guild that's staying low.

What are the perks & benefits?


@MediaAoC Hello! Being stuffed thanks to cake.. well, it was tasty but I don't feel well 😂 it's enough...

....so cake.. we have cooking as a profession.. do you intend to do some events like a in-game coking event or fishing event?


I copied all my questions even so if by time there may have been an answer

Best regards

Going through the questions in order.

Everything that is done in the Zone of Influence to a city or above node (since freeholds only exist after the city stage) will contribute to the city node.

Freeholds can not be placed everywhere, there will be predetermined zones to place them, mostly likely to avoid collision with nodes, dungeon entrances, gathering spots.

My last information stand is that freeholds can only be attacked during a siege of the respective city that the freehold belongs to. I think you can hire Npcs tho, not sure on that.

I don't think there are any plans for more than passive buff battlepets.

Pets are little critters while mounts are beings that you can ride on, it is in it's very natur two different things.

No idea on customizing appearance of guards.

Even cities are to big for a single guild to rule, that has been mentined time and time again, it's a collective endeavour just to maintain it so upscaling this to a Metropolis, it will take a whole lot more than 2 guilds to "control" a metropolis. (pure exegeration on my part here)You would probably need an alliance of a dozen max sized guilds to "control" it. It is intended to not be ab le to do this.

Wait for the Blogpost for more specifics, we are all eager and waiting for it

That's too specific to answer at this point of time. They did say they want to do events of all kinds and maybe even game master lead events. The future will tell.

@Grisu thanks for reply! It was ncie to read but yeah let me pick up one point!

Regarding guards: So far some people like the idea it would be really cool nut I think they will handle it like with the most xp contributed vy one race, the buildings and the guards will take on the racial look.

but nevermind i will still hope to get my undead guards!

New Question for all:

When you think about Ashes of Creation, lore wise.. what's important and what would you change of all know facts so far so that you are complety happy with the class you wanna play?
