Glorious Ashes of Creation Community!

Our next livestream will be Friday, December 23, 2022 at 11AM Pacific! (Click here to convert this to your local time.)

This holiday season, we have something very different and special for you. The ghost of winter’s past will take us on a journey, looking back at all the glorious things we’ve accomplished this year. We know you all are excited to get a glimpse into our office, and we’d like to give you a peek behind the curtain! To set expectations, we don’t have all our snazzy Intrepid Studios decor up yet, but we do have a ton of wonderful folks who are excited to meet you! Because of this, we won’t have a Q&A session for this livestream, but we hope that you will enjoy getting to know more of the development team and we’ll bring back the normal Development Update Livestream in the new year! ^_^

Get your mug of hot cocoa prepped and light that cozy fireplace, you’re coming to work with us! twitch.tv/ashesofcreation

    A question about travelling and exploring:

    Node towns and cities will offer a host of services that can differ, town-to-town. Message and contract billboards, Node-specific channels, and markets for stalls are some of what we know of, thus far. Can you give us a general idea of what kind of things we can expect to see/experience when entering a new-to-us township for the first time, and how we'll know to find our way around?

    I'll ask no question. I'll just wonder :smile:

    Dual wielding question:

    Is dual wielding locked behind some talent or skill trees and can every class use dual wielding?

    Got me by habit; always happy for a chance to post questions!

    We've gotten to meet a few of the Intrepid staff thus far, but an increased focus should be some fun! I recall watching a couple of panels at some gaming conventions you guys had done. It gave us insight into some of the developers' past experience - including titles yours truly had played.

    "you're coming to work with us."

    Is this possibly a double entendre foreshadowing of an Alpha 2 date?

    Hello, I am not sure if I understand this, if someone can please kindly explain the PvP always on system.
    So Ashes of Creation will have PvP always on system, while implementing features like flagging to deter people from doing the PvP. So what is the main purpose of the PvP always on system? Wouldnt it be better to have a toggle for players that want to participate, or have specific danger zones where PvP is always enabled (like slightly better drop rate or exp or something, risk vs reward for potentially being killed).

    It simply means that if you join in on Friday for the livestream, you'll be joining us (virtually, of course!) at our San Diego, CA studio for some interviews with a few of our developers and a small glimpse of our studio! :)

    Answering your question in Discord, I am the most interested in the department which will answer easy question: "When the alpha 2?":D
  • UboonUboon Member, Alpha Two
    In the interviews, I would like to hear:
    > What aspects of AoC have been the most fun to test?
    > How do you brainstorm design options such as the recent blocking mechanic?
    > In the experience of the veteran devs what has been the most novel and challenging feature to work on?
