    In a previous stream from 2017 Stephen mentioned that professions will not influence stats. For instance, having a high lumberjacking level will not influence your ability to fight with an axe. Is this still true or will there be some professions that can influence weapons/abilities/skills?

    From a PvE perspective, how do you foresee to engage less competitive guilds in the PvE environment? Limited timeslots will for most casuals be available to do raiding or dungeons. These places will most likely be cleared and killed on spawn by the competitive guilds.

    On average how many abilities will each class have? I'm assuming its more than what's been shown in the previews.

    Are mounts and the animal husbandry profession intended to have the same scarcity that other in game items and professions have?

    According to the wiki there are no listed mount sinks and normal mounts never die, instead they are revived with items from other professions like Alchemy. The Mendelian style of genetics this game is using can slow down the amount of high tier mounts coming into in the game, but as time progresses these mounts will be increasingly common.

    Will your own professions have any effect (besides a social one) on which tradable recipes and blueprints you obtain?

    I like playing alts mainly for professions. If one alt focuses on gathering will there be a storage system like a bank or chests in a Freehold to transfer those mats to an alt focusing on processing

    Given Ashes of Creation is a group based game at it's core do you think new players should bear all of the responsibility of finding other people to play with or do the game systems share some of this responsibility? This is not referencing a group finder.

    Some MMOs do not punish scammers and some do, will Intrepid punish people who for example, take materials from people to craft and not return to materials or the product that is crafted. Some games see this as a form of role-playing while other see this as simply cheating or scamming. Additionally, what counter-measures are in place to protect someone who is upgrading another players items and the upgrade fails and it is destroyed.

    Will the corruption system be account wide, or would it be possible to have one "clean" character and one character for the dirty work?

    Since relics and policies share benefits to the entire vassal network - what benefits are there to be a citizen of the master node of a vassal network aside from elections, tax breaks, and crafting station access? If I don’t care about crafting, being in the metro doesn’t sound important.

    Will there be quick swap key binds for another weapon. For example, using the Wand for single target and swapping to a staff for AoE situations with a quick swap. Will it display both on character, because that would be cool.

  • Nate28Nate28 Member, Alpha Two
    Will there be overworld bosses that will need to be competed over? Will there be "lockout" timers on instanced raid encounters?

    I don't know if I've ever commented on anything here, I mostly pipe up during the streams, but I was watching SticQeno's video yesterday and he mentioned you were going do a lighting stream. I put my wife's money where my mouth is and bought a 2 key (thank you Mrs Farbik), so I obviously care and believe in this project.
    I just thought that I'd hop in and copy/paste my comment from his video, cause I think it may be an outlook the devs might appreciate hearing:
    I used to stream DayZ (horrible game, don't buy it), and that game is dark dark at night. I can only make my room so dark and I have to stream during the day so it made creating content on the fly really hard. It taught/forced me to learn how to entertain an audience via +ing charm and intellect, but it made it near impossible to showcase the actual game and gameplay for good chunks of time when I was holed up in a shed cause I couldn't see anything and if I ran around with a torch I would most definitely die. Lighting is incredibly important.

    Thanks for the entertaining streams, I've really enjoyed them, and best of luck with the next one.
    Love,
    Infinity Fabrik aka Farbik The Olden <3
    Me like games. Me like fun.

    will classes be able to combo skills together with other players in any way
  • ZetheZethe Member, Alpha Two
    Are Clerics the only dedicated main healers? Also, can you share a little on itemization please. What kinds of stats can we expect to see on gear? Will there be a fair degree of stat customization options with gear?

    Thank you.

    When we enchant items will we suddenly be informed that we have over-enchanted and causing the weapon to be temporarily damaged or permanently destroyed, or is there a progress bar or a notification that warns us that if we fail the next enchantment or repeat the enchantment a few more times and it will lead to over-enchantment and destroyed or damaged ur item?

    Thank you.

    Hello,
    Greetings from Germany :smile:
    My first post regarding Ashes of Creation since I bought it on Kickstarter 2017.

    As we are about to start Alpha2, when will we know the exact launch date?
    I think I speak for many adventurers who would love to take a vacation for the release to play as much as possible. Unfortunately, vacation usually has to be submitted to the company early.

    So please Steven, help us :blush:
