    It's mentioned multiple times that The Seven created "The Four Parent Races", "The Four Great Races" or "The Four Divine Races". If the Toren Empire predates the Aelean Empire and Pyrian Kingdom, did the Toren Half-Elves exist before Humans and Elves?

    We know that the animal husbandry system will follow the mendelian inheritance from the Feb 2022 Livestream, could you elaborate on the number of gamete pairs the Pets, Mounts, Livestocks and Beasts of Burden will have?

    i.e. what ratios of phenotypes among offspring would results from animal husbandry. (3:1 or 9:3:3:1 etc)

    What is your approach regarding QOL updates? Inventory management, previewing and applying dyes, map / UI improvements, adding settings/options.

    Where are the runes socketed into gear obtained from and how does the enchanting system work ? (where to obtain enchanting mats to craft scrolls, how does the gear enchantment work, what does the scribe profession do except blueprints and scrolls etc..)

    As an osrs clue junkie, i saw that Treasure Maps are things in A2 and in the main game. Can you talk more about them, and how they are executed compared to other games (runescape and other games have these kind of systems).
    thanks

    Do guild castles have similar node distribution under them, ie, 4 diplomatic, 4 economic, 4 divine and 4 military with +1 here or there, or do they vary significantly from each other?
  • Are you willing to change the tank archetype name for the community if I give you $3.50?

    What are the systems for node atrophy, and will materials be required for upkeep?
  • Any design/provision for killing a bots and not becoming corrupted? e.g. reporting the bot, killing them and if report confirmed then corruption removed.

    I wonder, up to what ratios of genetics they are considering just the 3:1 or also including 9:3:3:1 or even deeper than that!

  • Will there be more Regions than the Wiki has listed in terms of Regional Pricing?
    (North America, Europe, Asia/Pacific, Oceania)
    Probably not before release but what about after?
  • PlasticLemonsPlasticLemons Member, Braver of Worlds, Kickstarter, Alpha One
    Will there be any game mechanics related to being in or out of combat, such as being able to mount up?
  • TexasTexas Member
    Will mob types and drop tables be dynamic with changes in weather; similar to how they are with day/night and the seasons?

    We have been seeing the staff (weapon) for some time now, could you tell us caster mains which phase, if any, is staff planned to be put into the game? :)
  • CrowigorCrowigor Member, Alpha One, Adventurer
    Castles/nodes sieges will be in the open world or in an instance? If in the open world, how do you plan to limit the number of participants?
  • GarrenGarren Member, Alpha One, Adventurer
    Would bosses like Firebrand provide exclusive mats to players who take the Hunting profession?
  • Is the world map found on the Verra article of the wiki the land layout we can expect to see in game, or has the apocalypse created/destroyed land regions and the map is from a pre-apoc state of the world?

    Will we be able to use the character creator even if the realm has reached the maximum number of players (CCU)?

    So flow number 1 or 2?
    1. Login into AoC > select realm > create character > select character to join realm > enter the queue > play/test
    2. Login into AoC > select realm > enter the queue > create character > select character to join realm > play/test
  • Hello there, hope you're find

    What are your human ressources to develop the game at this time and how are you confident in the next months to carry out the job to do ?

    What is intrepids plan from a design perspective on managing to keep PVE fun, exciting and hard? While also having most of its content open world leaving certain mechanics and ideas potentially off the table in fear of allowing PVP to exploit the PVE in ways that are not healthy to the game.
  • Can I also give my feedback in German in the Alpha 2 ? Because my English is not the best.
  • ChaosFactorChaosFactor Member, Alpha One, Adventurer
    Will future expansions for AOC primarily focus on expanding the scope at which we operate?
    Will there be a point that we're battling the pantheon itself?
    Or will the scope of our efforts on Verra stop at the destruction of low level Ancients?

    Please spoil lore in the process of answering this question, thank you.

  • What will the gear progression be like for dungeons? Will the Grand Dungeon require that you have grinded the pocket dungeons and artisan skills, or can a player progress to max gear in any dungeon(grand or otherwise)?

    Will there be other seasons than the classic spring, summer, autumn, winter as for example raining season, sandstorm, etc or even some events with tsunamis, thunders, cyclones, etc?
  • What is your intend with lawless zones? Are they transition "content" for filling up the empty bioms? Or is it a genuin idea u want to expand on?
  • With new races being added in after A2 launch, will there be easy ways to change race for free?
