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.

Plus you will want to use the caravan system because they have given examples of carrying loads will be vastly different. A person could carry 100 units, your pack mule can carry 1000 units, but the caravan can carry 10000. So, yes you "could" run from town A to town B with your goods 1000 times or you could just do 1 caravan.

I do have a fear that using family teleport to other cities will be fast tracking trading through inventory rather than using the transit system. If i can travel halfway across the world why journey for 2 hours with risk?

Nitpick

Hello, AoC team. Amazing video, as always! Thank you very much for sharing so many amazing things with us, all the progress in content is unbeliveable.

And as always, I have a few questions on my mind. Starting off with the weapon holding. I can see in the gameplay footage, that the characters are holding their weapons 100% of the time. Will this get worked on so that the characters will have their swords/wands/bows etc. sheathed? It kind of looks funny, as you show the swimming in game, that the character is actually swiming while waving the sword around like it's nobody's business... underwater.

I know that making the sheath NOT dissapear when the sword is being used is probably not that easy, but still... Would be amazing.
Also, if there is going to be fighting underwater, will their be a breath status and underwater debuff for less power and such? It would make sense, so that is why I am asking. Especially if there is going to be dungeons, guild ship battles and so on. Another thing is, I cannot imagine playing as a mage and firing a fire based spell underwater and not feeling wierd about it. I always did in other games. It looks unbeliveably stupid, as if other games didn't even think about that and neglected the fact that it makes no sense. There should be something like "No effect underwater" on the fire type spells" and something like "+ 25%< damage/effect/duration underwater" on water or wind based spells, if there will be any. Also, warrior type characters should probably have different auto attack animations, something like heavier, slower swings that pack almost the same power. Rogues should be agile enough to be on the same efficiency underwater just as on land. And last, archer type characters should be reminded that basic attacking (firing a normal arrow) DOES NOT WORK underwater and they should be able to fire only magic-imbued arrows or special skills that pack a bigger punch. Which would absolutely make ALL the sea battles more thought-through, because there will HAVE to be some strategic element involved, if that was the case. It would just feel amazingly natural (especially the archer part), and way better done than in other games, which is what we are pretty much expecting from AoC -> to be made 100x better than other games

All the monsters look absolutely amazing! Can't wait to play a Necromancer and tame my own neon-glowing spider and use it as a mount. If that doesn't work, I'm not playin'! :P Jk, but still. They look amazing!

I'm just spitting out ideas, feel free to ignore... :'D

Love the GameDev streams!<3

This is one of the first times I've seen any game play. Love the stunning visuals with the particle effects, keep up the good work guys!

How will AOE spells work in terms of PvP(is, dropping aoe on a mob and another player runs into it). Perhaps you can’t start pvp with an AOE spell?
Have you given thought or played through the event a popular streamer joins a server and if that will throw off the balance in that world?

When can we see all the assets in high fidelity of every race, base/primary archetypes, & combined primary/secondary archetype?

We've seen some of the combinations and they looked fantastic. We've also seen some lower quality assets of the racial emblems. But can we just get all of them! Would be awesome. Maybe even a live stream of a designer going through creating of them if they aren't finished. So far the UI ability icons, racial emblems, and combination archetype emblems look absolutely incredible by the way.

Thanks!

I have two questions.
1) If your Freehold is destroyed during the 2 hours after a successful siege, what do you lose specifically? (Example: 20% of raw goods, 15% of crafted goods, 20% of tamed mounts in your stable, etc.)

2) If you are moving your goods on a Caravan and it is successfully attacked by raiders, what do you lose specifically?
(Example: 20% of raw goods, 15% of crafted goods like armor and weapons you were delivering to be sold, etc.)

Thank you so very much for giving us the opportunity to ask our questions.
