How intricate will the animal husbandry be? Are genetics involved, is there color variety, stuff like that. Love the game btw, keep up the good work <33

Will boats be involved in the siege of coastal nodes and or castles? If so will it be just for transporting people or will there be siege weapons you can put on boats?

They have said this before. You can mix and create different animals with different colors and stats. I can't say the exact details but I'm sure you'll find it on the wiki.

Will you be able to keep your character from the alpha and beta tests.

in regards to Combatant status when a Noncombatant attacks Corrupted players why do they stay non combatant that has been brought up recently and it raises a few questions also what if that NC dies to the corrupted player trying to kill them now they lose out on more bc they arent Combatants

I believe this is because the system is focused on players who are corrupted appearing as almost, "Disturbing the peace," which comes with consequences. However, someone who is choosing to be peaceful, defending themselves from someone who is corrupt, doesn't necessarily mean that player is going out and seeking combat. Which then only a player with the intent of seeking pvp, would be marked as a combatant. I could be off base here but just what I think their intentions are.

We know that Legendary items will be rly rare, witch means that most of us will run Epic items as their "BIS". Will there be any uniqueness to Epic items? Like will there be only X amount of some Epic item in the game?

What is the launch date?

I posted this on the reddit, and AlluringSecrets told me to post it here, so here it is:

What is planned to prevent a "meta" to occur regarding nodes on different servers? Let's say that node A provides beneficial resources to anyone, be that dungeons with great loot, a unique ore that is mandatory for a profession, etc. It would be in everyone's interest(across all servers that is) to have this node on a high level such that it spawns these things. What is done to prevent a situation to occur, where all servers will always level the same kind of node? Sure there might be different dungeons or items you can gather when leveling other nodes, but does that mean that the rewards you get from the other raids/dungeons is 100% on par(equal in stats provided) with the other nodes? Also, will it be the case that some of the more common ores/logs/gatherables are only obtainable in a single node(or even the more rare ones), or will this be obtainable in multiple nodes(which thus would prevent a node-meta in occuring).
If a single node becomes mandatory for progression, it would seem that the node system would have a flaw, as you would want a diverse situation to occur.

Will there be any support for addons, or will this come later on? I know addons can be quite useful but also ruin the nostalgic feeling and experience.

Hey first of all, have a nice day!

I have a few questions about religions in general

1) Everyone talks about the benefits of being a part of a religion. But are there any drawbacks? Could religion be a dividing or a unifying force in the world too, to form confederations or alliances between node cities and guilds?

2) Could religions spark conflict between cities and guilds in the form of religious wars to suppress other religions and promote their own via war or through missionaries/preachers?

3) I imagine Divine node cities likely will be mono-religious. However, is it possible for other node cities and guilds to have an official religious affiliation? Will there be incentives for non-Divine node cities to be either mono OR multireligious?

4) If node cities and guilds can be multireligious, could this, under certain circumstances, lead to internal conflict or civil war? If so, how would such internal conflicts play out?

5) Will there be any incentive to spread your religion over your node of influence? Will there be any benefits of your religion being more popular on the server?

6) Could predominantly religion X node cities/players/guilds deny resources/services from religion Z cities/players/guilds to pressure others picking up their religion? Place embargos, blockades on ports, trade restrictions, and such?

7) Related to question 5 and 6, what is stopping a religion to gain absolute dominance on the server sooner or later?

8) Is it possible to be head of a certain religion (like the pope)? Or at least being in a group of select few of the highest rank (like cardinals)? Will these high ranking priests have some influence over their followers?

Thanks for answering all these.

Super excited for this game. Been watching all I can since coming across it. I have a question about UI, sorry if this has been repeated elsewhere.

From my experience playing WoW (sorry Blizz, not sorry), the game could only be actively (sic: competitively) played with add-ons. Everything cluttered the screen to the point where you would not see the game or environment and simply rotate through your class’ perfunctory “efficient” skill rotation. However, the most necessary addon for me allowed me to customize and adapt the UI. Will the UI be customizable; and, will the game allow (or disallow) addons?

Thanks!

It was probably already stated before but when it comes to attacking other players how will AOE spells work ? will they damage the player only after they are flagged or will they not work at all ?

When we create a new creature in the Animal Husbandry profession will we be able to name it or will names be pre-chosen for us?

I know trash mobs have a chance to drop certificates (i.e. pelts, hides, teeth, etc.) that can be sold to nearby vendors but will these mobs have a chance to drop completed items as well?

Or will completed items only come from vendors, crafting and world bosses?
