Hunting for info - New Player

NailnScrewNailnScrew Member, Alpha Two
I want to keep it simple as I'm fresh to the forums.
I'm looking for a few things;
-Info on spells/abilities for each primary archetype.
-Armor classes and how mitigation will work
-any info on pvp zones, when are where, all open world? battlegrounds/arena?
-perhaps a list of status effects and options to clear them(potions or spells, etc)
-Global cooldowns and other CD's info
-Fast Travel options
-Faction/team rewards info regarding pvp and pve
-How hard will it be for an individual to find their way into power. (will streamers basically always end up becoming mayor?)
-How many characters can you have per account per server?

    Thanks for the link, but what about some forum discussion posts for those trying to get involved with the feedback and changes happening.
    I dont really want to stare at an archive of something that is in development, kinda feels like reading last weeks newspaper

    You're always welcome to try and start those conversations or join others. But if you don't know the super basic stuff that's on the wiki - people will boo you and send you to the wiki.

    It's in your own interest to learn everything you can about the topic you wanna discuss on the wiki and then come to the forum and make suggestions to the current design or ask deeper questions/opinions on that design.

    Yes I should have been clearer, I'm looking for people to direct me to the conversations. With some time spent watching videos and tuning in for other updates, a simple wiki link assuming I don't know the "Super Basics" isn't quite what I'm looking for. I found it overwhelming to find the topics I wanted discuss or a starting ground to get involved so I made a post.

    Literally just pick any currently ongoing thread, look into its topic on wiki and then join with your own opinion based on the OP and the info from the wiki.

    There's no "one conversation" that we're currently having. There's nothing to point to. Anyone here is simply interested in something and then either creates a thread about that topic or tries to look for other threads on it (by using the search function).

    I'll provide links soon, but some of your questions don't have answers because the development isn't far enough along yet.

    In fact...

    -Info on spells/abilities for each primary archetype.
    Technically N/A

    -Armor classes and how mitigation will work
    Guesses only, but that, you should actually check the wiki for, I guess.

    -any info on pvp zones, when are where, all open world? battlegrounds/arena?
    Open Seas are no Corruption PvP, there will be arenas

    -perhaps a list of status effects and options to clear them(potions or spells, etc)
    N/A

    -Global cooldowns and other CD's info
    Check recent posts from user 'SkylarckTheBotanist'

    -Fast Travel options
    Mostly none, but the options that do exist are unknown

    -Faction/team rewards info regarding pvp and pve
    N/A

    -How hard will it be for an individual to find their way into power. (will streamers basically always end up becoming mayor?)
    Heavily debated, but as for true information, N/A.

    -How many characters can you have per account per server?
    N/A

    Basically, your questions have not truly been answered by the devs, game isn't that far along yet.
    I hope that helped(?). Feel free to ping me for followups that I might be able to provide actual info/threads on.

    Also, if you don't want to read the wiki, here's a video version of "everything we know".

    Yeah OP my wiki link wasn't intended to be snarky. Your questions are so broad though, and are asking more for hard info than discussion. The wiki really is the place if you want to know these sorts of things.

    The forum search function is fairly precise, though the wiki is the best source of straight - accurately sourced - info.

    Next best would be to YouTube the last 4-5 monthly updates and just put them on the background.

    If you want more tailored, concierge assistance I bill $650/hr with a 3 hour min, and an overage threshold of 14 min. 😉

    you have asked a lot of things, even things we don't know yet.
    you don't wanna look at the wik, but maybe people don't wanna type the answers to a job interview. that's not a forum discussion or feedback lol

    Yeah I'm just too much of a 'carebear' to back you up on this sort of thing.

    I'm sure I'll eventually get driven away and you can more freely do/experience 'whatever it is you didn't want me to ruin'.

    (I probably shouldn't respond to you, but if not me, an angrier person will. Bear with it)

    If that's "overwhelming", then there's not really a lot more I can say......

    Regarding the wiki, the team that runs it is very good. It's updated very quickly, and contains better information than the forum here does. This is why it's being recommended to you so frequently. But yes, it does require some sort of effort on your part.



    Edit: Do bear in mind that this is a very early game-in-progress, and that lots of the stuff you're looking for info about hasn't even been coded yet.
