    Will there be any dungeons where corruption won’t apply to PvP fights inside them? Corruption seems to mainly be to stop PKing, and fighting over a dungeon seems to be expected gameplay.

    What type of information do you feel an Auction House/Marketplace should give players directly?
  • CrizzLeeCrizzLee Member, Alpha Two, Early Alpha Two
    Regarding the Alpha 2 content at release and through the end of testing, what percentage of the game would you say is going to be playable/visible to players compared to the planned full release of the game? I think there is a concern amongst the followers of the game that too much content will be revealed during the testing phases.

    With vassalized nodes not able to declare war on each other and with a small A2 map at the start, will there only be a few nodes that can even declare war on each other at the start of A2?

    on node wars. To what extent will logistics and supply lines be integrated into node wars? It would be cool if attackers had to run caravans of supplies to the surrounding area prior to the start of the siege to encourage little skirmishes before the actual battle takes place.

    Hello Steven, is there any intention for there to be extremely high tier materials that can be gathered in the open world? The idea of gathering a super rare ore/wood/plant/etc that is required for special crafts, in a game that allows PvP with loot dropping, is really exciting to me.

    Ashes of Creation is no stranger to the topic of risk vs. reward. So how much risk can we expect in dungeons - namely when it comes to traps and other environmental hazards such as pitfalls, spikes, or other clever traps? Adventurous minds are yearning to know.

    Can players choose their starting weapon or does every archetype have their own predetermined starting weapon?

    We have seen from the updated Fighter showcase that some of the abilities could miss if they weren't in range of the opponent. How will this be balanced for Ranged classes?
