You got Questions - We Got Answers

With four live-streams done now in the last 8 days, there is information overload out there.

Some of you may still have questions. Go ahead and put them here.

A lot of different creators are working on a lot of different projects, and we have some more interviews coming up, so load up those questions and lets see if we can't either direct you to an answer, or get your question queued up to the next CCs doing interviews.

Copying this question from another thread:

I see that we're having two cosmetics systems in place: full outfit that won't enable mix 'n match (like GW2) and per gear piece cosmetic "slot". I'd like to know how IS intends to address having too short space to "save" items whose only purpose is to transmogify/use as base to apply its skin to an actual gear slot. Have they talked about this? In GW2 there's no such thing because skins work as unlockables so the amount you can have is 100% infinite, requiring a Transmutation Charge to apply an unlocked skin onto an item. Anyone knows to it will work? Searched the wiki and only found few info at this moment, so not sure if they talked about this before.

What happens when I die in pve? Does it matter if I’m killed by a mob or I fall off a mountain? Is there a corpse to loot - to get some material back? Can another player loot my corpse? Is there a corpse run? Do I just rez somewhere nearby and the lost material is just subtracted from my pack?

Thanks in advance. Your videos are highly informative.

I tried to link a Ashed 101 section on Player death but i could not find it.
Still the site explains so much stuff.

You have a cosmetic storage wardrobe, so this won't be an issue.

Will we be able to pay a subscription with ingame currency?

Hi Jahlon,

I have a quick question about the world size. 480 square km. Is that just 21.9 km by 21.9 km? Fitting 100+ nodes in this space seems small. Riding a horse at a canter is 16-28 km/h. A large part of the world is water areas. Therefore, it takes well under an hour(15 mins) to travel any continent?

Not all the nodes can develop.

And the player move speed is 3.2 m/s sprinting is 6.4 so horses will probably not be that much.

Balrog21

@Rekkor that equates to 189 miles per side. If my calcs are right.

Will there be a name plate on houses where we can write our names ?

Hello. I know if your node fails to defend a siege and is destroyed, the items you had in storage, the gatherables and craftables, can be looted and the furniture and decor items get returned to you when you purchase the next house or apartment. And with the freeholds you get a blueprint to use for your next place.

What if I end up with a piece of loot or gear and I stash it in my storage, what happens to that item? Is it going to be considered one of those items that gets returned to me? If it is a piece of gear which can be equipped, will it be unavailable to me until I get a new place?

Loot and gear gets returned to you

How does a miner find a vein of ore? For example, does it appear on the mini-map, the world map, do I have to just find it without a radar? Does a miner have a passive / active skill to detect ore? And is a vein of ore a first come first serve or is it specific to a player?

Thanks.

Source?

Let the horse speed be 6.4 m/s.
6.4 * 60 * 60 = 23040 m/h ≈ 23km/h. Still not bad.
√480 ≈ 22, but the world map can be rectangular guys.

Roko

@Sent I think he is taking it from this quote from Steven on Discord where he said it was 6.4 m/s for the sprinting speed during apoc.

idk where the leap from sprinting to mounted speed came from though.

Will Ashes have randomly spawned NPC's with some stuff to buy or trade or maybe special quests to take?
Like night trader in BDO.
Or "Manor" in Lineage2.
Maybe an NPC with lottery game thank you can win (or lose) money.

Ryufu

@Jahlon Are people able to trade with people who are corrupted if they are not? Or do they have to be both flagged as corrupted. Thanks!

Godgear

question: are we able to customize our armor and weapons ? for example color dye armor like in final fantasy ?

I understand what you were doing now. Although the map is a rectangle, your still pretty close. The approximate dimensions are:
Length: 26km
Width: 18.4 km

Reasoning:
https://ashesofcreation.wiki/World_map
Map size: 34 x 24 squares of unknown size = 480km2
34 / 24 = 1.416666667; which means that the length is 1.416666667 of the width; or, about 142% of the width

Area of rectangle = length * width
(1.416666667width) * width = 480
width * width = 480 / 1.416666667
width² = 338.8235294
√width² = √338.8235294
width = 18.40715973

Answer:
length = 18.40715973 * 1.416666667 = 26.07680962
width = 18.40715973

To check:
length * width = area
(1.416666667 *18.40715973) * 18.40715973 = 480
480 = 480 ✓

An alternate check is to make sure that the side of each square is the same whether measured along the length or the width.
length = 26.07680962 divided by the 34 squares of the length is 26.07680962 / 34 = 0.7669649888
width = 18.40715973 divided by the 24 squares of the width is 18.40715973 / 24 = 0.7669649888 ✓
The side of each square measures precisely the same; so, the measurement is correct making the total length and width given above correct.

The following was a complete misunderstanding.
I am not sure where you came up with 21.9 km x 21.9 km. A square kilometer = 1 km x 1 km. https://mathsisfun.com/definitions/square-kilometer.html

So, 480 square km = 480 km x 480 km. (<---This is wrong. My bad.) This is a total surface area that does not have to be arranged in a square. See the next couple of posts from Sent and then myself if this does not make sense.

If you meant 480km = 21.9 miles, then no it is not.
1 kilometer = 0.621371 miles
Therefore, 480km x 0.621371 = 298.26 miles
