    For freeholds, will giving permissions to guild members count towards the previously stated 9 person cap associated with families or is it a separate number?

    What kind of scoreboards will be available after castle sieges?

    I know you want to avoid DPS meters, but it would be nice to have personalized in depth metrics that I can follow for myself. Thanks!

    Will there be a system in place where a player who wants to hire other players to escort their caravan would be able to ask players or guilds who will guard the caravan for collateral which will be repaid upon completion of the escort in addition to payment for the escort service?

    Steven has said many times that Ashes of Creation is not for everyone. Who exactly are you making it for or what type of player?

    Can we expect Rogue to be at the start of A2, or perhaps see some sort of update for that?

    Will freeholds have outdoor mini games (such as miniature golf) or are all mini games relegated to taverns.

    We've heard before that there will be 20 buffer nodes that exist alongside the 5 metropolises. Can we get clarification/confirmation whether these 20 buffer nodes are outside the vassalage and/or zone of influence of the 5 metros?

    Have you planned to give us a proper showcase about playable races (except Tulnar) and their racial abilities before Alpha 2 or are we going to see only pictures of new character models in upcoming streams?

    Being that you are showcasing the Cleric, I am excited. I want to possibly make a rogue/cleric and was wondering if there is any update on the cleric secondary augmentations. I remember seeing something on the wiki about it once about it transforming the rogue into something evil looking, but that might have changed. Thank you.

    Why is Steven coughing so much?
    He should take care of his health. We need him to finish this game :(

    Will some kind of technology be utilized to delay data mining, e.g. by holding assets/data on the servers instead of clients and only streaming it to the clients on-demand?

    Can you give us an example of a skill from the Guild Skill Tree that mega guilds won't have access to because of having too many members?

    Do you plan to introduce archetype-specific resources and mechanics, or is Mana going to be the be-all end-all for everybody?

    With a Hybrid Combat System for healing, the only real option at high levels is tab targeting. Have you thought about how you could better require the use of both tab and action vs people only playing tab because they know it's always more efficient/accurate? Maybe requiring action targeting for certain spells or its impossible to cast and requiring the swap to action target button. Or having action targeting spells heal for more?

    Similar to the mendelian inheritance of animal husbandry being best in freeholds, will gatherers find the best crops to be mendelianly modified crops on their freehold?

    Leveling in Alpha 1 seems extremely limited for healers because it heavily relied on having a damage counterpart. How do you plan to balance the capabilities of a healer leveling vs the damage leveling? Are their systems implemented that require that dps needs a healer just as much as a healer need a dps? It seems like the dependency on healers is missing in large parts of the leveling process. This allows dps/tank players to bypass the goal of working as a "group" and also rewards them for solo leveling.

    Will guild banks, guild halls, or freeholds have deposited player gold vulnerable after a failed siege defense or is it strictly materials?

    How does the Clerics healing system work? Does it have AoE heals, Direct Heals or Heals Over Time effects and does it have dedicated skill line for each? For example you could become an AoE healer who can heal with less output but over a larger group of players, or you can be a direct healer who outputs large amounts of heals but at a specific player rather than multiple or a mix of both?

    talking about average players, will having a freehold be the best way to be reach? will there be other ways for people focused on pve or pvp (not being corrupt)?

    Is it possible to acquire multiple guild halls? Can a guild achieve patron status in a node to obtain a guild hall and also acquire a freehold guild hall once the guild master obtains the certificate? Furthermore, could a guild become the patrons of multiple nodes simultaneously?

    Are you open to the idea of removing the Family System if Alpha-2 feedback points that way, or is it something that is in the game for good regardless?

    My favorite mmo has a feature where you can play every single class on one character, I personally am a person who enjoys the fantasy of being able to be a master of all forms of combat. It’s also a lot easier for me to be able to get into the game when I know I can just stick to one character instead of having to make alts to play other classes. Even if it is not as easy as changing load outs, is it a possibility we would be able to swap base classes around on one character. Or something that could be considered and implemented into the game.

    Is lower tiers of animal husbandry available to everyone or is this purely a freehold profession.

    Will gathered materials have a quality, something akin to the SWG system? I thought we had heard something like this a long time ago. I liked being able to gather rare versions of regular materials to sell once there was no supply.

    One of my favorite games was Warhammer Online. In that game you could fully level up and gear from PvP. Have you considered at least granting xp to players involved in objective based PvP such as Wars, Sieges and Caravans?

    You've previously described the cleric as "a master of life and death" and gone into details of the Necromancer subclass having healing buffing spirits or hideous undead as an example of this. When will we get to see the "darker" or "death" side of the cleric?
