What Node Are You Drawn To?

ShadowCrept

Based on all Current Info that we have, which is scarce, what type of node are you as an individual or as a group/guild going to be focusing on?

With the "fast travel" effect of Science nodes it does seem highly sought after, but im guessing the Religious Nodes will be a big influence for Healers!

At this point the only node that has been fully flushed out is Scientific. We've been given piecemeal information on the other nodes over the last couple years but there isn't enough information to make a good comparison to what we know about scientific. I'd say from a server perspective we're going to likely want one of each type. From a crafting standpoint a scientific node would be ideal and then use the caravan system to move crafted goods to an economic node for sale.

ShadowCrept

Good point, ofc not having 90% of the info on all the nodes is a bummer just trying to see what some thoughts are in the community.

This is a hard question to answer at this point scientific does sound very appealing but we do not have this level of insight into the other 3 node types yet. The gatherer/crafter in me is drawn to scientific at this point but what will a trade node offer on the money-making side of things. Equipment augments from divine nodes may offer some very tempting alternatives to its citizens and as for military nodes, we do not know all that much.
I fully expect there to be many compelling reasons to be a citizen of each type of node but you can only choose one. It will be no easy choice for many to make and that is a good thing IMO.

As for my guild that will be a choice we make as a group and as most of them see AOC as nothing more than something I link into discord every once in a while will be much closer to launch before that choice is made.

I can dig it, yes so little is known it eats at me every time, i just wanna know and play and feel this game on my fingertips

I was considering scientific nodes long before they were discussed in greater detail. The faster world travel via airships and teleportation is nice to have access too, but the main reason I chose the scientific node is the quest paths and specialisation unlockables for Artisans and Crafters including access to recipes, qualifications and certificates.

Ahh good point i tend to forget about that it heavily helps the crafters in the long run

As do we all but the flow of information has picked up and that should continue from now on with luck until Alpha1. If you listen to Steven there is a good deal of information he wants to keep a secret for as long as possible so there are some true surprises when AOC launches and that IMO is a good thing.

Divine nodes sounds like a lot of fun. Either that or economic, maybe scientific

Damokles

Economic nodes sound nice!

lunarsky

Divine
Scientific
Economic
Military

For me. I am more a PvE/Explorer type so I am leaning more towards the nodes that appear to give me more lore and travel benefits.

persian

Scientific, Military or Economic tbh, will have to wait and see what the guild thinks though

Ceivent

I'm Drawn to Divine & Economic. Both seem neat.

Nagash

Can't start a religion if you don't have god on your side so its got to be divine for me

ShadowCrept

Hmmmm interesting..

Zara

The mother node

ShadowCrept

Haha nice

Desseus

Any but economic really, though leaning towards scientific or divine.

Hexcat

It's going to be the military one, since I have read that that's the one you have to be part of to become a Bounty Hunter

Morashtak

As a miner/smelter the economic node seems to be the correct fit but as the other nodes are fully finished we may find that there are some hidden benefits for crafters in the others (rare recipes to be discovered in the scientific node, forges and such imbued with the power of the divine nodes, etc).

ShadowCrept

👍

Whatever node sends the fewest guards out with their caravans. I'd like to call a divine node home just out of curiosity, definitely not a fan of military nodes, because I refuse to make pvp the sole focus of my character.

Ferryman

Because I will focus on combat and crafting related stuff, I will most likely go with military- or scientific node.

I was sure you were going to go divine

Godbrithil

I don't know or we don't know yet. We need more information and this we get probably only in the Alpha 1. Until then: wait and see and drink tea! :P - Is a German idiom.

Okay, nice. xD At this point it is hard to say for sure, but atm that divine node appeals least to me.

This is actually hard question, because I can imagine that people are not even sure what classes they will play or what artisan skills they will choose. Also the guild you play with can affect your choise. All these factors can have huge impact to final choise.

Damokles

My favourite type will most likely be the scientific node.
Why? Because I want to make a huge fkn jewel and for that I will have to raise my mastery in jewel crafting as fast as possible. And for that I will need a scientific node. I will find an island and beg the gods, that there will be a scientific parentnode

Volgaire

Most likely Military or Divine. Military because pvp and Divine because being god is hard and needs followers.

I really hope you can make cults in ashes

I just want to spectate how it all plays out.

Hmm Economic on my crafter and military on my bounty hunter I better get and Alt or I will be very sad indeed.
