I would like to ask whether they will make the world even more beautiful and authentic or whether it will remain as it is right now in the scheme.
Or how you plan to make the world different from other worlds and how it will stand out from them.

Hello all, big question here.
Castle sieges and node sieges will both happen during the server prime time. Since the castle sieges happen on a monthly basis after the first successful siege against the Raid boss defending it. Will castle siege and node siege happen at the same time in the world and if yes, will it be possible to time a node siege approximately at the same time then its region castle siege?

Thank you and have a nice day.

Simple question;

As a former EverQuest 2 player of 7 years... Will there be Heritage quests as in EQ?

Thanks and greetings from Spain.

When are you going to open up cosmetic sales to those of us who can't afford the hit of a full package in one go?

There have been plenty of cosmetics that I'd have bought if I'd had access to them, but can't since I can't afford the full package price. Just seems a shame to only allow the richer players to contribute.

Will we receive any mementos from the rare or flying mounts, once they have died or expired?

I.e. Mini-plushies for house decoration, skulls to hang over the fireplace, etc.

Will there be limited-use crafting schematics we can obtain / re-obtain through tasks, or will anything we learn to craft be permanent?

I.e. - Let's say Scribes end up being able to make maps for alts or players who don't like exploration, by visiting different points of interest. Would learning such a thing be permanent, or would more visits be needed, in order to keep making so many more maps?

NOTE TO PLAYERS: This is NOT a present mechanic, it's just an example!

I will make a note, at this point: unlike the monthly Q&A's, this thread does not limit us to 1 question, each. If that's the intention, an edit should be made to the OP!

Will bag space be adequate so as not to hinder game play in any way?

Heya friends! Please make sure to visit the reddit thread directly and ask your questions there, as all questions are being pulled from that thread and not here on the forums!

The pinned post in the reddit thread where submissions are being accepted clears this up for you!

Thank you! Aye, I figured that out late.

Yours truly *hates* Reddit, an I can only *think* I've posted a question on Reddit, for it; I can't tell if it went to the AoC sub-Reddit, or if it's free-floating somewhere on /rMMORPG somewhere, since it's not ordered. Reddit's a lot of guess-work.

It would be great if there were also questions accepted from the normal forums, but I *think* I've posted a single question on Reddit.

Flokii

Will Parkour be present in the game?
I think in AoC it would be great to have Parkour incorporated into a % of the many world events or have them secretly dotted through Nodes as world quests!
(In GW2 the Vistas where you frequently had to climb and parkour to high places or in FF14 where there are climbing challenges at the Gold Saucer).

Tacualeon

What do I have to do for you to consider making bonus damage from the back a thing for every other melee class and not a specific thing for rogues?

Why does only rogues get enjoy positional gameplay?

Asraiel

Will there be a more realistic terrain behavior like the regroth of ressources like trees will it be a step by step progress or suddenly apearing and will Mobs also be fixed to their spawn and suddenly reapear after some time or will they move around and reapear in a spawn area unnoticed by players (visual)?

Ahhh Reddit, my least favorite time sink. VLDL got Reddit bang to rights.

If I'm not back in 24 hours, please send out a search party.

I'm back. 1h15m .. New personal best for me on Reddit!

When i want to sell a mount or different mounts to a player (trade) or an action house (AH) or a kiosk/marketplace, Can the person who want to buy the mount see how it looks before buying them?
Would not be fun to buy a mount if u dont know how it looks 😛
In WoW u can see how the mount look and how it looks when u sit on it before u buy it 😛 Will it be similar in ashes ?

Ahhhh, hadn't realised the "Ask your question in the AMA thread here" was a link. Don't think I've ever even looked at reddit.

Any chance you can get us the answers, pretty please?! You'd be the bestest bread product ever...

I'm not sure if it's been asked yet but just in case it hasn't.
How customisable will the final UI be? As in if there wont be any addons unlike other mmo's (WoW springs to mind as the one i play anyway) that im sure myself and many others would love a highly customisable UI in both sizing and positioning.
I personally like to give myself a lot of information on screen at all times but making it small and unobtrusive as possible but i know others care more for a minimalist look and others again preferring maybe large icons/action bars and mini map etc.

I personally love a lot of the addons i use for WoW and would hate to have to play without them (nothing game breaking but quality of life stuff) so I'm just interested to see what ashes has planned in terms of the built in options and customisation there will be.
