Since the mounts will have core abilities and stats, how will the mounts gain experience or levels? We really appreciate the communication. Thank you to the whole team for an exciting game!

Hi Ashes folks;

In regards to quest, will there be cutscenes as part of the main or important quests like those scene in SWOTR ? Also will there be dialogue options that totally change the outcomes of quests depending on players choices?

Thanks for your time.

Azula

In the past Steven said that they are working on a solution for different races and their hit box-body ratio. Is there any progress regarding that?

SomeRandomName

Any updates on the Leaderboard since it was "very very soon" three months ago?

SlightlyGrim

How will scholars compare to other end game crafting classes? Will there be end game content only a scholar can create/discover?

AntVictus

I only have one question and it's more of a QoL for some players. Being an NA player I don't really have any worries for the connection and such, but I know Aussies and some other countries around the OCE region, is IS looking for a better option than a Singapore server?

Hello,
I am curious if world events, like waking up a dragon because a city leveled up, will be a one time event or if the event will repeat.
Thank you!

Pmilhous24

Will enemy A.I be reactive to our skills or just auto attack. Ex: Mage powers up strong incoming attack will A.I know to get out of the way or block the attack? Thanks!

Hi intrepid team, are you going to add character statistics?
Where each one can create his own different pg from another player ... otherwise the Italian community will not be very obsessive.

Will freeholds all be the same size or will the land come in different sizes we can purchase?

Will the buildings have working light switches?

perseus01

How is the creature taming process handling?

DougBug27

My question pertains to Bards. Is the plan to make instruments equipable items, or is the bard going to focus on dance/writing/singing? I know the icon had a quill, so I wanted to confirm. Also, when can we see some of the Bard skills?

joint

Will be daily quests different every day or they will become a routine "work" that everyone just has to accomplish in order to get some extra experience?

Damokles

Will we be able to stack items like herbs, potions etc, and if so: What is the max amount of items in a stack?

Ramsickle

If I have two or more characters in the same guild will they use multiple spaces in the guild or do they stack and use one space between them?

Disobedient

Will there be any feature in a high level Divine node that allows a corrupted player to let’s say pray at a tier 5/6 Alter, and regain their full stats?

Zackallic

No trolling me with air fishing gestures this time @Steven Sharif & @Jeffrey Bard July 28, 2017 Live Stream

Will there be bounty's for one of a kind legendary fish via Node or Near by Taverns for skilled fishers to go out and hunt or contest over? If so do you have a theory on what kind of rewards you could get for completing them?

Kuyhai

Hey, me again.
#1: Will there be a few for renting the wagon for a caravan, or do you first have to craft it yourself?
#2: Will there be GM present to seal "big deals" so major gamechangeing Trades won´t end in a scam, or will you provide a central NPC System for that term? Or are there yet any thougths about this?

Mayhem

Season 1 is supposed to be ending (again) in a few days. Are we getting season 2 or is season 1 gonna get extended again?

Roxxstar

Do you have any plans or ideas for keeping all talents/specs/builds relevant in a way that there's not going to be a "one build to rule them all" mindset? The one thing that I always worry about is having really cool talents or abilities become irrelevant because of this, and then not being able to play a preferred build because dps healing etc isn't good enough to other players.
But I do think upgradable and customized talents (like you are planning) and skills are good ways of breaking build molds I was just curious if you had any ways to further make all builds consistently special and useful.

Also I'm a Full-Stack Web Dev and just about to apply! I just saw today that you posted more positions a few weeks ago! Hope I'm not too late, this has been my dream company for almost a year now!

What will be the main focus of end game? PvE, PvP, Wealth, Fashion, or Community?

Odyssey

Can you lease out in node static housing?
For example if I owned a house that I didn't want to use for my self but I didn't want to sell could I just form a lease contract with someone and have them pay me periodically?

darkseraph

Will there be rare spawns that have a more unique loot table?

Thanks everyone for joining in and sharing your questions - submissions are now closed!

We'll see you at 11AM PST tomorrow for our live stream!

Will there be rewards for exploration? secret areas with chests or unique mobs or simply objects to collect to give stat boosts or will it simply be achievement-driven?
It would be cool if these areas were accessed through knowledge gained second hand in the world or by solving a riddle or such.

let's say that at each level I receive 10 points and that I have to distribute these 10 points in the category I want.
If I want to make a pg focused on strength then I put strength, if I want to make a balanced pg I use strength and defense, if I want to do it only in defense I will do it like this.
the characteristics should be: intelligence = magic attack.
wisdom = healing power.
strength = physical attack.
dexterity: defensive power
evasion: evasive power.
accuracy: power of precision.
ect ect.
