    Since Summons are the weapons of summoners, could they get access to Legendary summons?

    When will we see Steven on a Boat?

    Is AI voice acting over costly regular one is a thing you ever considered?
  • PlasticLemonsPlasticLemons Member, Braver of Worlds, Kickstarter, Alpha One, Alpha Two, Early Alpha Two
    Will there be a limit on the amount of world changes or events that can happen during a certain time?

    Would it be possible for a dragon, a horde of goblins, and an angry tree ent all to spawn to attack a node at the same time?

    Thanks 🍋

    When locked on in tab mode, what determines whether a projectile hits its target or not? The Wiki says "lay of the land" will have to be considered, so does this mean you can use obstacles within the world (like a high-ground or a tree) to impede projectiles and/or can you use basic movement to weave around projectiles, or is this purely based on skill usage?
  • xillinxillin Member, Alpha One, Alpha Two, Early Alpha Two
    Will there be augments, gear, set bonuses, or crafting materials that are locked behind specific levels of specific nodes? In other words, will there be any of those things available on one server that isn't on another based on which nodes got leveled on a given server? It seems this would be a strong way to limit min/max meta play, or at the very least make metas be area or server wide rather than game wide.
  • DivineDreamDivineDream Member
    is there an estimated month this game could be released? or are there simply too many tasks at hand to tell?

    Usually the cities and towns in mmos are rather stale or even dead.

    With the node system at AoC´s core, is there anything planned to make the cities feel more alive and bustling and also function more like cities with a lot of services and things to interact with? (Apart from the stuff we already know about)
  • Gaul_Gaul_ Member, Alpha Two
    When a player approaches a player caravan will they be given the character and/or guild name of the caravan owner before deciding whether to attack or defend?

    We know that player death means resurrecting with XP debt and losing materials in mechanics, the answer I and many others in the RP community are curious about is what are the negatives in lore for our characters with reviving as a roleplayer. If I die, do I lose memory, am I weaker, is there a time period it takes to revive or is it instantaneous and there are no negative in character aside from the out of character xp debt and materials drop?

    Will there be ‘proc sets’ like we’ve seen on other MMOs or will all gear bonuses have stat based bonuses like we’ve seen?
  • horendishorendis Member, Intrepid Pack, Alpha One, Alpha Two, Early Alpha Two
    Since we received an "immortal soul" (respawn) by going through the gateway from Sanctus, how are the Tulnar players able to respawn since they didn't go through the portal?
  • LueWLueW Member
    Have you thought about implementing any mechanics or equipment that would allow you to impersonate a member of another guild or alliance to do false flag attacks or something similar?
  • DvvellDvvell Member, Alpha Two
    It has been a while since we have heard about metropolis superpowers. Have they been implemented/how is development on that aspect going?
    Also, when two scientific metropolises are connected and an airship is connected, is it an actual airship or instanced travel?
  • BillzbubBillzbub Member, Alpha One, Alpha Two, Early Alpha Two
    Travel time is going to be non-trivial, dungeons will be mostly open world, and the availability of some dungeons will depend on predicates. So, how many dungeons will a party of adventurers have access to when they meet up each evening? In other words, will it be intentionally rare to find, level-appropriate dungeon content that is not already engaged by other players?
  • SolvrynSolvryn Member, Alpha One, Alpha Two, Early Alpha Two
    Has the Sandal Lord and the team already considered what the parameters will be for technology in the world of Verra and their various races? We know Steven doesn't like gun powder, but what about things like torsion tech to upgrade ballistas and alchemical mayhem laced into their munitions?

    Will there be enough skills for a mage to fill their ability bar with a single element/damage type (like using all fire spells) or a fill their ability bar of the same targeting type (like all AoE)?

    Will there be a /follow function, in which player charqcters can follow the character of another player, in case they need to go afk for a bit?
  • LeonerdoLeonerdo Member, Alpha Two
    For people intending to PvP every day, what content is going to be available 24/7, so they always have something to do (aside from ganking randos)? Caravans, guild wars, arenas, or something else?
  • vothvovovothvovo Member
    With how much content do you plan to release? I bet a lot of people would love to play the game even without something like the naval system.

    Does a caravan stop moving or slow down when it is attacked?

    Since there will be passages into the Underealm that are sometimes open and sometimes closed, will there be things that players can do in order to manually open and close said entrances and exits for the Underealm?

    We have seen broats. Can we expect cooba divin? Underwater breathing on the wiki does not specify anything at all. - Thanks
  • TyrusTyrus Member, Alpha Two
    Up to now, while watching videos and joining the livestreams, all I've seen is MOBs spawning in one place and standing there. Are there plans in the future to have MOBs follow a course of action? For example, will a pack of wolves hunt along game trails; will a village of orcs have mobile scouts and cook and hunt and move within the village as if they have a purpose?
  • RowniSciponiRowniSciponi Member, Alpha Two
    Can you give any specifics for how Intrepid will handle players engaging in in-game fraud or anticompetitive practices? What will and won't be against the ToS?

    What’s the pro's and con's of Apartments in nodes over Freehold Houses?

    Is there a perfectly safe place where you can indefinitely store you items? Like banking system in WOW. Whats going to happen to my belongings and real estate if I retire for a couple of months or a year.
  • KesthelyKesthely Member
    In the last livestream you talked about bloodmagic, Will systems that cause corruption, other then pvp be available for players?
