Question about the Marriage system, would appreciate some new info since the wiki has only a few sentences from 2017.

How authentic do you envision marriage?
By authentic I mean Marriage as a formality for ingame benefits, flavour for roleplay , or more intimate for a couple who actually likes eachother.

In Steven's interview with Asmongold last weekend (nice legwork jumping in those streams btw) He mentioned that flight paths would be in the game. Was he reffering to the Science metro Airship, or another system, like a node to node flight taxi system.

Hello,
Thanks for hosting all these live streams. I have a question on in-game management.

What guild/finance management systems are there? For instance, will there be a total count of raw material/processed goods for leaders to view? Will there be trackers for guild contributions of gold/materials?

Will there be transaction recites for sales. For instance, a caravan sells its materials for 1000 gold. Will there be evidence of the seller receiving 1000 to eliminate unknown skimming from a party or guild?

I'm currently making a database for my guild, so any information about the mechanics of trading in the game would be nice.

Thanks!

Hi there, I have 2 questions:

1. If there are 2 nodes being developed right next to each other, and one node upgrades to the next stage and grows in size and grows into the node next to it, will the node beside it get "consumed" and lose its progression? How does this work?

2. Will we be able to grind dungeons as much as we want or will there be a limitation on running certain dungeons "X" amount per day/week/month?
(Please let it be infinite, I dislike time gated content)

Thanks in advance.

1. Will Classes(architypes combinations) have their own unique passive bonuses and mechanics or only skill morphs?
2. Will there be fist weapon (any type of combat gauntlets/knuckles etc.)?

The capes from the preview footage seems very lightweight to me, are there going to be capes with different weight to them? I.e. some that are heavier so that they won't be flapping around so much?

Cheers!

Will players that follow a religion that leans towards the more ‘darker or lighter path’, receive augments on their character’s abilities that correspond towards the path that they have chosen? An example would be a mage with darker, more sinister flame abilities

Hello!

I was wondering when more detailed information on archetypes and secondary skill augments would be revealed. I love to theory-craft classes, but there are few specifics on each archetype's skills and the augments available from secondaries.

Thank you very much!

Hello team. Question regarding the runes that you can slot in gear, from interview with Tim the Tat Man.

In the interview some runes were mentioned, that can be slotted/unslotted in gear, that can increase the gears effectiveness for PvE or PvP.

Doesn't this go against the concept of PvX? If I slot in my gear some PvE runes, and some gangers jump on me while they are using their PvP runes, I am at a disadvantage.

Isn't this the reasons you decided against separate PvE and PvP gear? Wouldn't it be better if those runes excluded any PvE/PvP modifiers, but rather focused on effects like, faster MP regen, or a bit extra CC resistance or a bit better crit rate?

Now that we are approaching public alpha 1 sans NDA what are your goals as a team during that phase? What for you would represent a successful alpha 1 test of core mechanics prior to entering alpha 2?

I'm not asking for dates here I just want to know what your goals are once the NDA will be lifted and we get to see behind the curtain at what's going on through the eyes of fellow players. You won't be able to get anything past us after that!

i have a question towards the caravan system, it was stated that when you kill a monster it'll drop some kind of certificate, my question is: what will make players use the caravan system instead of travel from a city to another with small amounts of certificate, or the player will have that option?

The whole reason is for community development. If you use the caravan system then it increases relations with the place that you go to and it goes to your nodes progression AND i believe in order for the certificates to be worth more, they have to be sold from the caravan from a distant place. So if you just show up with them, I don't think their price will be increased. I could be wrong though. That is what I understood from talks about it.

SOOO Excited !! Hope most are good news

Hello from Honduras! . It is so refreshing seeing a developer with so much community interaction congrats.

My question is regarding armor and weapon slots. Will there be some kind of template on release? Some type of code I can copy and paste on the game client to recreate certain builds or something similar like that?

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.

makes sence

Would love to see some class insight and samples. As the portal between player and the AOC world its going to be a huge point of interest for the game's duration

Hello Ashes of Creation Team I'm so excited for this MMO as it seems to bring a lot of possibilities into the scene that everyone was asking for and its great to see a refreshing take and dive into that challenge.

My question for the Dev Team goes a bit into lore side, but on more general approach than specifics. Is the games story going to be driven around the "You Exist in a World" or "Story focuses around you as a player". I've seen a lot of MMO's take the latter creating a world where the events seem singular or too direct rather than a player immersing themselves in a world where multiple people exist. It be great to hear what type of direction this game is taken into that especially with your Node Systems etc.

Also was there any discussion that I might of missed in terms of factions or is it separated by race on how you choose a side?

Thank you and super excited for this game. Keep up the great work and communication.
