    Have you decided if Races will have racial abilities or will we choose from backgrounds?
  • DawmeryDawmery Member, Leader of Men, Kickstarter, Alpha One, Alpha Two, Early Alpha Two
    Any chance of crossbows returning to the game later in development?

    As it stands, the same armour set looks different for each race. How do you plan to have large varieties of in-game achievable gear for each race if you have to make 9 different looks for a single set?

    Will each archetype be equally efficient with archetype agnostic mechanics like dodging and active blocking, or will they have their own versions/flavours of them? If so, could you give some examples for both?

    Do you plan to have more than just the Kaelar node aesthetic at the launch of Alpha 2 and if so which racial nodes will we see?
  • LinikerLiniker Member, Alpha One, Alpha Two, Early Alpha Two
    we know that the best processing is done in freeholds, and best crafting is done in nodes, which is great, but is that restricted to an academic node only? what benefits or restrictions do node types have in regards to crafting?

    Any chance of augments being shown too during ranger showcase?
    Degree of how much augments change the skill is literally the only thing that will determine if I should give this game a chance or not.
  • Raven016Raven016 Member
    How many grand-master level crafting stations can a Node Tier 5 (City) have?

    Would you consider adding a movement speed debuff for raids of more than 20 people, as part of a set of measures to counter zerging playstyle, and favour smaller groups?
    Large armies move slower, special units are faster kinda thing.

    Is there a chance we can see the hybrid targeting / action camera utilized more often?

    I know it’s Steven’s preference of course and this makes for better gameplay, but I’ve recently skimmed through every stream post melee and ranged weapon showcases and this targeting has been seldom been shown since (if at all). A lot of new viewers aren’t aware this exist.
  • Gaul_Gaul_ Member, Alpha Two
    Is it correct that Intrepid is building the western continent first and then the eastern continent is coming afterwards, or is that not the right way to think about the game's direction of development?
  • VrDynastyVrDynasty Member, Alpha Two

    With the map being as large as it is and recipes being potentially earned anywhere - Are there region specific recipes that would be very hard, if not impossible to earn on the other side of Verra? Thank you!!

    Is there a chance that we will see different types of basic attacks?
    If yes, will those have different type of combos? Will there be different charging/ delayed attack based on weight of a weapon? Using Sword shouldn't feel the same as warhammer.

    How do you feel about adding more telegraphed abilities present in MOBAs?
  • TrUSivrajTrUSivraj Member, Alpha One, Alpha Two, Early Alpha Two
    Are there any plans for a combat Chicken and/or chicken mount, and will there possibly be an (optional?) distance meter near the hp bar of your opponents?

    To what degree will augments be done on the release of a2?
  • SkinnyBruceSkinnyBruce Member, Alpha Two

    Please list the races that will be playable at the start of Alpha 2.
  • Frost01Frost01 Member, Alpha Two
    How will the appearance and type of summon be determined for summoners? (Example desired: beastmaster summons)
  • LeonerdoLeonerdo Member, Alpha Two

    I'm wondering how the map will change as expansions are released. Will there be large new landmasses added, or just new POIs and story arcs addwd within the original map? Or perhaps a mix?
  • TenguruTenguru Member, Alpha One, Alpha Two, Early Alpha Two
    I know Steven wants to keep a lot of lore under wraps but I figure it can't hurt to ask, why did Steven refer to the destroyed moon as the Harbinger Moon in the previous stream?

    Did a Harbinger crash into the moon on it's way to Verra? Are Harbingers pieces of that moon falling to the surface?

    Will there be objects in the environment that you can interact with that do not give items / experience and are not quest or profession related? For example, plant pods that can be clicked to release a toxic spore cloud.
  • AzheraeAzherae Member, Alpha One, Alpha Two, Early Alpha Two
    Can the individual 'buttons' in the hotbar be moved around as separate UI elements, for example to put one specific button on a different part of the screen away from the others?
    Y'all know how Jamberry Roll.
  • Undead CanuckUndead Canuck Member, Braver of Worlds, Kickstarter, Alpha One, Alpha Two, Early Alpha Two
    When will Steven leak the Alpha 2 start date? o:)
  • GrandSerpentGrandSerpent Member, Alpha One, Alpha Two, Early Alpha Two
    Will enemy NPC groups have the ability to actually temporarily capture or attempt to ransom important Node NPCs?
  • SongRuneSongRune Member, Alpha One, Alpha Two, Early Alpha Two
    Has the team considered weather-dependent procs in the Bow skill trees or Ranger Augments?
  • LudulluLudullu Member, Alpha Two
    Once again, I'm asking for an updated/finalized spec requirements list for Alpha2 :)
  • TyranthraxusTyranthraxus Member, Alpha Two
    While groups are standing around for any reason, it's can be kind of cool to have different players showing off different abilities, out-of-combat.

    Will the Ranger have any just-for-fun abilities with no real effects, such as shooting a flaming beacon-arrow directly into the air?
  • GrilledCheeseMojitoGrilledCheeseMojito Member, Alpha One, Alpha Two, Early Alpha Two
    Is the Tank's positional protection skill intended to also protect from aerial attacks like the Ranger's Air Strike?
    Grilled cheese always tastes better when you eat it together!

    Is the impact of an AOE (offensive or defensive) limited to a number of target?
    Or limited by an area?

    For example, is an area attack limited to impact 5 targets or limited to impact an area of 3 m2?

    More of a fun question: Does Steven or anyone at Intrepid ever feel sad that their dream mmorpg will be "spoiled" since they had to make it and know most of the content?
  • CadacCadac Member, Alpha Two, Early Alpha Two
    If another player is gathering a tree, and I come in for the final chop, do I get the tree?
