They are essentially just using a shell. they take the core engine and are rebuilding it.
Thanks! Regards!
It's sounds good but what will be the difference between the nodes?
Within the game yo do:
-questing
-pvp
-gathering
-crafting.
-ect
So you do the same in each node zone, so the nodes(react to the "same" activity) will be the same or almost the same? The only difference is one node is a town another in a castle phase..??..
The main difference is the owner of the node, depending which guild own's the node. So if u want to attack and destroy a node you have to be part of a big guild whose defend or attack the node.
For that some points:
- you need to have big player base
- you cannot afford small IRL friendship guilds
So the node system definitely has potential, but I still don't see (maybe yet) the Uniq Selling Point on this.
btw.
i'm really interested on this game and definitely give it a try.
Good Luck for the developer team!

TLDR:
We're neither Beastmode PvP'ers or Carebears; however, we disdain a "lead by the hand" approach to either form of content. Does your game offer the freedom of open-world or not?
this FAQ is really revealing, thank you.
This game sounds so great and I feel like a little chield one month before christmas.
If it keeps what it promises this game will be a GREAT ONE.
"[W]e want to launch when we’re absolutely ready in order<strong> to give you the product you want</strong>."
With this quote I think the game and the team behind it doing a great and unerstand what the community wants.
Thank You!
In case my question is not clear, here is an example. Today is the last day of the Kick starter. Tomorrow will I be able to buy the $1000 (1k) backer pack that includes all of the rewards/perks associated with it?
My advice would be to pledge early and change if necessary as Desminith states.
Thanks for your time. Appreciate dev responses. Just want to enjoy this game.
Yes PVP will be a big part of the game, but they want it to be "meaningful conflict" so if you are out picking flowers for potions and a random rogue player starts to attack you and you don't attack but die. Than that rogue player is flagged as corrupt, you get very very minimal exp debt and a laundry list of problems happens for that rogue. A corrupt player is flagged on the map for bounty hunters (other players) when they are killed they have a heavy exp debt and potential to losing gear items they have on them. So you may once or twice here and there but if you stay passive than those bad player got something big coming to them. Their is no real meaning to attacking innocent players they cannot take your items.

As a poor university student, I can't afford the 485$ which are the lowest kickstarter backing for a life subscription ;_;

Hi Des! Thank you for the reply. So basically we can't lose our stuff if we don't attack back? What if we attempt to defend ourselves? I'd hope we would still be safe from item loss but I don't exactly wish to be flagged myself. Unrelated, but you seem knowledgeable, do you know if they will allow us to upgrade our pledges following the end of the kickstarter like some other projects, or we simply must remain with our original pledge? I've asked this in a direct message on KS as well but I'm unsure how often Intrepid responds to PMs. I'm currently backed at the Braver of Worlds tier but tbh I wouldn't mind going up to Royal if I had the time to save for it.

Okay, that's helpful. May I ask, what happens if you do defend yourself? Do you also get flagged? Or lose your items? Just making sure. I greatly appreciate your responses. I'm also still currently wondering if through large scale pvp we may lose our houses, etc.
You seem knowledgeable, so may I ask another thing? Do you know, if like some other KS projects, AoC will allow us to upgrade our pledges and pay the difference following the end of the KS, or no? I'm currently pledged at the Braver of Worlds tier. However, I wouldn't much mind pledging significantly higher given the opportunity to save a bit for it.

Hopefully this posts; the forum's been giving me a bit of trouble recently.
The goals in sieges (which is what you are kind referring to) means you will be vulnerable to attack. You will have to defend it, they cannot steal items so to speak but they may want that land should they succeed in taking over the city. if you succeed in protecting your freehold and your city than there is a lengthy Cool down before another Siege can happen
(increments 10,20,30,40 days depending on level of the node)

here is a website to help with some questions. Things are changing here and there due to being pre alpha, but the Intrepid Studios team is very open on what they are doing. the twitch TV interviews are the best place for information because they are the most up to date.
so far the word about upgrading the KS pledge package is a no, but I heard they thought about upgrading beta keys to alpha (huge maybe on that)
