will we have premade blueprints we can craft or will we be able to mix and match parts?
like for example
if i make a sword will i be able to craft it like
x-blade
y-handle
z-pommel
and maybe material?
or will they work like entire recipies?
Keep up the good work, love you Steven and all guys at Intrepid!
Is it possible to use weapons or shields with a cosmetic skin on them as a decoration in your house?
This has totally nothing to do with the new beautiful Halcyon Spire shield skin.
Excited for the next updates, keep up the amazing work!
so, the wiki says 'Players will have a first-name and an optional surname (last name)'.
What about when you form a family, will that create a family name? Applied to all, who are part of it.
Are there any visible indications, that tie family members together? Seen by others.

Could we get an official answer if A1 testing ends after the month long test or if there will be more A1 testing after that.
An example of this would be if you engaged a hard world boss, and you would slowly gain corruption while fighting it. Since corruption reduces stats such as health and damage, increases drop rate of gear the more corruption you have it would incentivize PvPers to attempt to gank the players attempting the boss (corruptionless death won't do that since people won't be bringing gatherables to raids), while it would incentivize the players attempting the boss to bring some PvPers along for defence. It would be a race against time for the PvErs since if the defending PvPers were wiped, they would be easily overrun due to having corruption – especially if it was towards the end of the encounter – building tension as the fight dragged on.
Thanks
First of, are there any plans for extremely rare, and powerful spells to be found within the game that only a handful of players (on a server) can get? e.G, a very high aoe spell with lower damage that has a very high cd and/or cast-cost.
Second, what is your approach to 1. Cheater and 2. Botter. Will there be an AC in place? If so, is it going to be a standalone program?
And last, how easy will it be to change abilities withing your Archetypes. And will it be possible to change your Archetype at all? Maybe with a powerful item.
I'm sorry if you've already answered those questions. Keep up the good work and see you on the server!
Once the super-rare mounts expire, will we get any in-game mementos by which to remember them?
(I.e. - A plushie decoration, or like a skull to put over our houses' mantles)
Maybe class balance doesnt have to meet the criteria for this corner of the game, but rather absolute power should decide the winner.
A tag along question to this players; will Ashes be Implementing Nvidia's Ray Tracing? Have there been conversations already between Ashes and Nvidia or AMD?
