Let say dragon appears near the town, and so the event to slay the dragon appear too. My question is what triggering the event to be disappeared or considered that the events is "done" ?
it could be integrated right from the start of your journey: when choosing your first weapon, instead you could just get a gathering or crafting tool and start an apprenticeship. wouldn't know any big mmo that enables you to do that, would be groundbreaking!
Formerly T-Elf
Much love in these troubling times.
If i'm planning to seek for all the lore of a specific race , will my gate choose matter?
2: Will summons be up for a limited time or will they be up until they or their master are killed?
3: Will we be able to get gameplay look of every class within this year?
I think they have answered this, at least a litle. You will be able to summon dragons so Im guessing they will be somewhat big. If they get to big they will take the hole screen and in group contant it will be a nightmare.
Thinking it further, will it matter who did I ressurect? For example ressurecting a caster dps results a "risen mage", while ressurecting a melee dps results a "risen warrior"?
We'll see you at 11AM PDT tomorrow for our live stream!
The answer to this is no.
They've already sold 2+ years of cosmetics under the umbrella of "exclusive"
Regardless of what the poll reveals, the answer would be: not gonna happen
@knapper - You can read more about freeholds, inns, and taverns, as well as other player-owned business elements here: https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Freeholds#Taverns
@Pacha - You can check out more of where we've discussed potential RP elements for chat like that here: https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Chat_emoji
@Ishka - You may have already seen some of these range differences play out with the weapons in Apocalypse, which was to help test out our action combat!
@Corpier and @Wingydingy - We're all still safe & healthy, thanks for checking in! All of our handy collaborative online tools have allowed us to keep making great progress together safely from home.
@basvision - There will be a variety of animations for different class abilities, some of which you've seen previously. All are still very much a work in progress, so keep an eye out as we continue to share more!
@AntVictus - You can read more about the possibilities we've discussed for the character creator suite here: https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Character_creator#Early_access. This won't necessarily be tied together with name reservations; stay tuned for more details on both of those things as we get further into testing.
@Nagash - Verra's lore is incredibly rich & diverse, and will remain mostly a secret so you can discover it yourself in-game. You'll have to tell us if you see any inspiration or similarities once you hop into testing
@sunfrog - You can keep an eye on our careers page to see the positions we're currently hiring for here: https://intrepidstudios.com/careers. You can also read a bit more about where we've discussed our philosophy on voice acting here: https://ashesofcreation.wiki/NPCs#Voice_acting.
@leonerdo - Who's to say that node building and narrative quest lines don't go hand in hand! After all, you're helping a city and its citizens progress and grow, and watching their stories unfold while creating your own. We're excited to have you help us test that mix during upcoming Alphas and Betas!
@Staggeron - I believe I answered you on Discord recently about this; we currently have no plans to bring back any previous skins that were labeled as "exclusive" to their time period.
@Locke - You can read more about our philosophy on roles and how they relate to your archetype and augments here: https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Classes#Roles
@Quin - Apocalypse helped us test the action combat elements that will be part of the hybrid blend in the MMO, as well as testing back-end systems like network infrastructure, downloading/patching, etc. As everything is still very much a work in progress, you'll be helping us test this combat mix more in upcoming Alphas and Betas!
@andrewfr - The team is super duper busy & cranking away at getting ready for upcoming Alpha testing with you all!
@myaku - You can read more about our philosophy on instancing here: https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Instancing

@Chezshire - You can read more about how augments may impact spell colors and general FX here: https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Skills

@unknownsystemerror - As we mentioned previously, we're awaiting some additional details from the design team on this particular freehold element, so we can provide more insight on this moving forward.
@Undead Canuck - It would likely depend on the item itself, and whether you're allowed to "own" more than one or equip it on more than one character at once. You can read more about where we've discussed inventory management for items that may be shared between characters (such as cosmetics) here: https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Inventory#Account_management
@l3v3rag3 - Keep an eye out for more class blogs as we head into testing to get a feel for the types of mage abilities and elements you'll see! You can check out some of what we've talked about so far here: https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Mage#Elements
@Lord Ashborn - There are definitely a variety of cosmetic categories (as it relates to FX or otherwise) that haven't necessarily been explored/shown off yet, so stay tuned for what we may share along those lines!
@Rabbit and @Nexler - Servers may initially be open for limited hours just to start, as we get a feel for their stability and ensure that people are able to connect. Once we've made sure things are looking solid on that front, we'll expand to longer windows and then persistent testing, similar to what we did for Apocalypse.
@DougBug27 - You can read more about our philosophy on the bard's range of abilities here: https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Bard#Skills.2Fabilities

@Lyon - Our goal is to provide you with a variety of different systems and interactions so that you can play the way you want to; at the same time, we believe in true difficulty, and understand that there will be some content that is so hard only a small percentage of players will be able to complete it (more on that philosophy here: https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Bosses#Raid_bosses)
@Wembley , @skearnz , @LumiLuck , @Pinkberry , and @grumple - Keep an eye out for more crafting/artisan blogs as we head into upcoming testing, where we'll be sharing more details on these systems!

@BluBOo and @Gimlog - Nodes progress and atrophy due to player agency, meaning that WHAT story choices unfold and WHERE they unfold is entirely based on community action. YOU drive where the story goes!
@Lalli - I believe he used to be a champion of the good ol' Rainbow flip flop, though if I recall correctly the sandal days are now over!
@caedwyn - As we test out hybrid combat with you in upcoming Alphas and Betas, keep an eye out for if that's something we're looking to gather your feedback on!

To much action combat and left buttonmashing now.
rather have autoattacks than having to jam my mousebutton over and over.

Can I just say the last stream was mind blowing in regards to information and content shown thank you.
Two really quick questions:
Will there be important story missions that have cutscenes? and will there be some quests that have meaningful dialogue options that change the outcome?
