In SWTOR me and my friend have made Anakin and Obi Wan characters to roleplay as them while we play the game, will Ashes of Creation allow me and my friend to be able to customize/dress our characters to the point of us being able to do a Aragorn and Legolas type of playthrough/Roreplay?

Len614

Will we be able to hit enemies from anywhere in the world as long as they are in range of our abilities/attacks or will their be an evade mechanic as seen in other MMORPGs like WOW, GW2,etc that resets enemies health if they cannot fight back?

Hello,

I understand that when a node is progressing through the stages it will need resources to develop its areas (housing, taverns, ect.) But can in theory the node "max out" its development once in metropolis stage and everything is built and not need these base materials. if so, will this remove the demand for low level resources for that node? eg basic wood/stone that is being farmed by low level players.

Castai

Bards will have the ability to play musical instruments, but will they be the only archetype with that ability? Not necessarily as use in combat, but for recreational and roleplaying purposes.

gvpr

What kind of hidden treasures or to what extent will there be hidden content be present in the game at launch. I like treasure hunting stuff.

Samakaze

What will be the approach on camera distance from character? Generally zooming out more from your character allows for more strategic advantage but also diminishes immersion. Some add ons in other games even try to increase max zoom from default.

Elano

What sort of things will be available for the summoner to summon? For example will a Necromancer be able to use some of those Zombie/Skeleton mobs you guys posted art and models for while a beastmaster some of the animals?

syldon

Can someone from another node come into your area to farm resources. And since there is a penalty to aggressive farming practises, would this open up a form of griefing from enemy nodes.

Ryozo

Are you guys considering the switch to UE 5.1?

Azherae

Regarding abilities such as Siege Summons that bring together 8 of the same Archetype in a siege situation, will there be level restrictions on who can participate in the activation of these abilities other than for the group leader?

Schwann36

Can abilities such as the Ranger ability Airstrike be used to navigate terrain; either for climbing cliffs that are otherwise too high, or for descending into chasms mitigating fall damage?

Goalid

The node reliquary is a building that spawns relics over time that give benefits to the node and its citizens. Is there any equivalent building for guild castles that have maintained power over a long period of time?

Sorcres

Can I expect Summoner to have some debuff spells or the ability to remove buffs from enemies??

I really enjoyed Summoner in Aion and one of the reasons was that he had a lot of debuff spells.

Claww

i think very underrated topic is the way damage numbers look. The design of the numbers are so important for the gameplay imo. To give an example World of Warcraft is a good example or maybe a unique one like Cabal Online.

If a ZOI-nation wants to drop a minor node of one type to pick up another node of another type, will it be possible to do this?

DougBug27

While playing, do you anticipate the main Points of Interest to be player made cities, or to be content created to inhabit Verra from before the fall?

Liniker

will the next upcoming spot testing be for PI only, Alpha One backers or Alpha Two as well?

linokami

Are you considering a prison system to keep griefers who are running amok in check?

I think you have some really bad understand of the Node System.

You cannot drop Nodes. They pre-exist in the world. Their type and location is static. They may or may not develop depending on player events.

You might want to take a read of this https://ashes101.com/nodes to straighten out your understanding a little bit.

Cheers!

On what has been said on augments from secondary archetypes, there will be up to 4 from the secondary archetype itself. It is also stated that augments will be locked behind levels. When I unlock augments, will I be able to see future augments that I will unlock so I can choose to abstain from choosing an augment until I hit the level for the augment I want? Or will augments automatically attach itself as soon as I unlock the first one and I have to find some trainer or item to be able to change it in the future?

MMOAddict

when will we see more about the secondary archetypes?
(more specificly the Necromancer)
When will we be able to see the summoner archetype in action?

Punkte

Are there any plans to upgrade to the newly released Unreal Engine 5.1 to take advantage of Foliage LOD + Lumen Reflections + Global Illuminations??

SunScript

The Jewel cutting page on the wiki mentions the Quarrior pet from the cosmetic pack will be able to dig up jewels on a freehold, is this part of Animal Husbandry and is it limited to the pet from the cosmetic pack that contained it?

darthaden

If we pick a crafting profession how limited will we be with gathering? If we pick a gathering profession will we at least be able to craft low quality items?

BaSkA_9x2

Will the addition of more nullsec zones occur? To balance that, will lowsec and highsec zones also be added?

Regardless of either of those questions/answers: do you think player (PvE x PvP players) segregation, like what happens in Albion/EVE/OSRS, is a good thing?

Thanks

Hi I skimmed the previous questions hopefully I'm not already asking a question that's been covered. Will Ashes of creation support Unreal Engine 5.1? Specifically Nanite Foliage and the water reflection features! I know since Ashes Of Creation is a MMO that some of these enhancements may not be applicable. I was really impressed with what it brings to the table.

For anyone who wants to check it out for themselves!

Q: Will Ashes' quest rewards be useful enough for us to actually care about them? And compelling enough to make players want to do the quests for said rewards?

Context:
I think we've all deconstructed/discarded our fair share of common items rewarded to us from quests. After having enjoyed Oldschool Runescape's questing for many years I miss getting useful and compelling rewards from quests in other MMOs. I remember being rewarded with things like access to new spells, upgrades to existing ones, XP/progression to skills, the ability to craft and/or gather new things, access to new areas, special gear, and/or enchantments/enhancements to tools/gear, stuff for freehold, etc., etc., etc... And I hope to see Ashes become the MMO that breaks this trend.

Thanks.

Backstabjoe

Can we get an estimated time for Alpha 2?

Lithion

Will all tier 1 mount cosmetics be able to apply to mules as well or will mules and mounts skins not be able to go onto each other?
