    Will dropped gear from corrupted players require repairs before it is usable or will it only have some durability loss?

    Will pre order cosmetics be available in game in other skin variants?

    Many of the cosmetics will be available to earn in the game with slight variations such as color. The exact pre order versions are gone if advertised as one time only sales.

    "Equitable cosmetics, both from a quantity and quality standpoint, are achievable through in-game means."

    Unknown, but good question. Probably based on the damage level they already had.

    Can each character on an account belong to a different family; and, if it is known could you provide a citation please? I couldn't find one.

    We know that node racial skin is set to the biggest race population of the node.
    So if the majority of the players in the nodes are draws, then we get dwarfen architecture.

    But what happens if the race majority changes between node upgrades?
    For example from tier 1 to tier 3, 60% of the population was dwarf.
    But they suddenly all moved on and now 60% of the population is elves.

    Will the architecture change to elven on the tier 4 upgrade or will it stay dwarf?

    The node will change to the current highest population race upon each tier that is gained. i.e. The tier 4 upgrade will be elven.

    This also means that even a completed metropolis can change the node racial skin if a successful siege de-levels the node and the population balance has shifted on relevel.

    "A node that was successfully sieged may develop differently due to the following influences:[25]
    • Different races becoming primary contributors."

    Cancel this question, I figured it out.
    Family sizes are limited to eight characters.[1]
    https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Families

    It states 8 characters. Accounts will have multiple characters so would rapidly over fill the 8 character limit. It is apparent that the current intent is for each character on the account to be able to belong to a different family.

    How long do you expect it will take to level a guild to the max?
    Any official info about this?

    Question about vassalship of nodes.

    Lets say Node 1 , Node 2 , Node 3
    Node 1 reaches level 1 first and now node 2 cant reach level 1.
    After that Node 3 reaches level 1.
    In theory both Node 1 and Node 3 have an influence radius over node 2.

    Now who does node 2 become the vassal of?

    When a node upgrades and changes, will the buildings already in place be kept or transformed to the new race who contributed more for the new stage?

    Would it not make sense for first come first serve?

    I know this isn't supposed to be a guessing thread just wondered your opinion on this one.

    No, it won't be first come first serve, because it will depend on what's going on to the North, East, West, South, of the Nodes. Nodes will follow the path of least resistance when it comes to extending their influence. So if it has to butt heads with another node, or go the other direction where there is no resistance, it will go the other direction.

    I see. I was too focused on his example and forgot that more than just those 2 nodes would be contending for influence.
