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.

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.

No.
In the same site you linked there's an exercise.

As you can see 10km² fit in a 5km by 2km rectangle.

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?

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.

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

That's why you need to listen to parents when they say finish your homework before playing games.

Yes, 10km², fits into the surface of the given shape because the shape is 14km² and 10km² is less than 14km². You left out the top section of the shape when you came up with your answer (perhaps you meant to do that for your point?). If not, you can double check by inputting your answer right next to the picture.

Right. The formula for the area of a rectangle is length x width. You have a length of 5km² and a width of 2km² = 5km² x 2km² = the 10km² that you pointed out.

The purpose of the exercise is to show that the total of squared kilometers can be arranged in a different shape than a square even if you divide a square km between different areas.

I guess that what your trying to get at is that the map does not have to be square to have a surface area of 480km², which is fine. I can see that is not addressed in my earlier post. I updated my post for clarity, thank you.

FYI, the world map that we have been given has a length that is about 142% of the width.

EDIT:
I went ahead and worked out the dimensions of the map to be about 26km in length and 18.4km in width. I added that with my work shown to my previous post since that was the response to the original question.

I hate to have to say it, but I misunderstood and was completely wrong.

I updated the post that you quoted to fix the info.

I'm so happy to have discovered this thread. I'm new to following AoC content and questions are constantly arising and oftentimes immediately being answered as I binge the youtube content and forums. One question I have that I haven't yet found the answer to yet is have the devs outlined exactly what kind of anti-carry mechanics will be in place (if any)? In classic WoW experience gains are based on the average level of all characters in a party, so a max level can easily boost low level characters through low level dungeons at insane xp rates by simply having multiple low levels to bring the average level down to match that of the content being farmed. How will AoC handle this? Additionally for the PvP side of things, I understand a high level will get tons of corruption for killing a low level, but what happens if you have players pvp'ing against players of equal level, but being healed by a max level healer making them near invincible? As an appendage, How does healing/buffing affect corruption in general, regardless of level differences?

FuryBladeborne

There will be a mentoring program to encourage high levels to party with and help low levels. I don't know how that will play out.

"There will be a mentorship program where upper-level players are able to benefit from partying and/or helping lower level players; and getting them situated in the game."
Source: https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Leveling#Mentor_program.2F_level_scaling

The question about healing or buffing players such as you described or even healing mobs to kill players has been argued over a lot on the forums. To my knowledge, there has not been an official statement for this. Only that it will be tested extensively when we get to that point. My personal opinion is that by the time testing concludes on this, all the players involved in healing or damaging the player that would cause corruption upon death will end up with the full corruption amount.

What has been officially stated,

Irohnic

Awesome, thanks! Ok another question for anyone that might know. Are there any mechanics to help build community among citizens of a node other than the various personal stakes you have in your node progressing/not being destroyed. For instance a citizen-specific chat, a small xp modifier for partying with node-mates, etc.?

Hey, do you guys know if the cosmetics will be tradable between players in-game?

"All cosmetic store items will be non-tradeable"

Doesn't specifically mention non-store items, though.

Anything purchased from the store is bound

Also, don't forget when you have questions I stream on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays specifically doing Ashes Q&A just to answer questions. Swing on by if you want to ask a question and get a indepth answer.

I've read through the wiki article on flagging, and understand that killing a non-combatant flags you as corrupted.

But I wonder what if the killing was done by a group? e.g. players ABC are ganking D who doesn't fight back. D dies. Who gets flagged as corrupted?

A who landed the first hit?
B who's done the most damage to D?
C who's dealt the killing blow?
Or all of ABC gets corruption?

The person who delivers the death blow is currently the one who gets corruption.

Do you know if mobs can take falling / environmental damage? For instance, if I pull 6 mobs and use a knockback on a cliff - will they die at the bottom?

There is falling damage for players, but I do not know about for mobs

and that is an awesome signature.... i sorta hate you for it

Will dropped gear from corrupted players require repairs before it is usable or will it only have some durability loss?
