Account management

Ashes of Creation web site design preview (WIP).

The account management page is used to assign or reassign cosmetics to characters within an account.

• Cosmetics can be reassigned to other characters (alts), but can only be active on one character at a time.

• There will likely be a cooldown for reassigning cosmetics between characters.

Accounts

Players are permitted to own multiple accounts, but are subject to rules relating to multi-boxing.

Account transfers from mail.ru/my.com/my.games

Account transfers from MY.GAMES (My.Com/Mail.Ru) to enable access to Ashes of Creation testing phases can be done by registering an account with Intrepid Studios and submitting a support ticket. The intention is for all purchases and achievements to be preserved.

Q: What does this mean for my Ashes of Creation account with MY.GAMES moving forward?

A: We are working with MY.GAMES (previously My.Com and Mail.Ru) to transfer purchases made in the MY.GAMES platform to the Intrepid Account system, so that you will be able to use those purchases in Ashes of Creation. Please create a support ticket using the "I need assistance with my account" and "MY.GAMES Migration" option and our support team will assist you with this transfer process.

Q: What happens if I don’t have an Intrepid Account?

A: You will need to have an Intrepid Account for the transfer to take place. If you have not already done so, please create an Intrepid Account with the same email address that is associated with your MY.GAMES account.

Q: What happens to the purchases on my MY.GAMES account moving forward?

A: Once accounts are migrated to the Intrepid Account platform, any Ashes of Creation purchases would be available on your Intrepid Account.

Q: If I don't want to transfer or migrate my MY.GAMES account, can I get a refund?

A: Any players who previously purchased their pre-order through MY.GAMES can submit a support request through MY.GAMES for a full refund.

Q: What happens to my personal information associated with my MY.GAMES account?

A: Your MY.GAMES account and all associated data will remain safely within the MY.GAMES account system. In order to facilitate the migration of your purchases, MY.GAMES will provide Intrepid Studios with the following data, ONLY if you have made a purchase related to Ashes of Creation or Ashes of Creation: Apocalypse through the MY.GAMES systems.

Character slots

There will be character limits during the Alpha and Beta testing phases. These are probably going to be more relaxed than for live launch.

• Allow testing of different builds as needed.
• Provide equipment needed to test various scenarios.

There will be a "comfortable" number of character slots on launch.

Kinézeti dolgok

All cosmetic store items will be non-tradeable.

• Kinézeti dolgok are not tradeable with other players but can be reassigned to other characters (alts) within the same account.
  • This is a reversal of the earlier statement that assignment of account-bound cosmetics to a character cannot be undone.

Skins

Cinderhorn Steer pre-order pack cosmetic mount skin.

Providing these limited options that collectors out there like when it comes to achieving and/or purchasing cosmetics. It means something I think when players make that decision to purchase or they go through the rigorous portion of achieving those things in game that it is not just everywhere around them and becomes meaningless at that point. – Steven Sharif

Accessories/armor, Buildings, Lakókocsik, Tartók, Pets, and Hajók sold in the cosmetic store are skins.

• Skins are cosmetic items that do not grant the user any benefit.

• Skins are only be able to be applied to things that have already been earned, crafted or found within Ashes of Creation.
  • Certain skins require specific items or item tiers have been achieved in-game before they can be used.

Owning cosmetics does not guarantee the acquisition of the item the cosmetic can be used on. Players must still achieve the corresponding item/building. – Steven Sharif

• The lore on store cosmetics is flavor text.

• Caravan skins change the appearance of an in-game mount and in-game caravan that are hooked up to each other.
  • The caravan and mount skin components are not able to be utilized separately.

• The best skins will be in-game achievable.

The best skins will be in-game achievable (obviously “best” is subjective, so I’d say the most ornate and detailed/unique). – Steven Sharif

Szerver létszám

Szerver népesség korlátozások lesznek minden szerveren.

• Egyidejűleg 8-10.000 felhasználóra van tervezve egy szerver. Ez nagyjából 50,000 regisztrált felhasználót jelent szerverenként.
• A fejlesztők sok figyelmet fektetnek a szervernépesség kezelésére, hogy ne kelljen szervereket egyesíteni. A magas létszámú szervereken megjelenhet a belépési sorban állás, de cél az hogy ne legyen túl hosszú a sor.

Part of the equation of essentially watching to make sure that we don't over populate the server selection, but at the same time making sure that there's not a queue system in place that's so long it's detrimental to the concurrency of the player's will to play so to speak. It's a tough balancing act. – Steven Sharif

Server reservations

Server reservations allow guild members as well as unaffiliated players to reserve character slots on a server starting in the Beta testing stages of the game.

This would likely be utilized more so by guilds than that would be solo or unaffiliated players; and I believe that the solo player they may have friends that they want to play with. That's fine, they can also still with those friends do the reservation system, but the player who is just joining the game fresh and doesn't have a community that they're part of, I don't think they really mind in that regard and will not utilize that system. – Steven Sharif

Szerver váltás

Lehet, hogy ez a fordítás elavult

Szerver-váltásra eleinte nem lesz lehetőség. A fejlesztők a lakásbirtoklásra kivetett hatásokat megjelenés előtt akarják felmérni.

Name reservation

Name reservations were rewards for backing at the Pioneer level and higher and were previously available through the Voyager plus pre-order pack.

• Accounts will have name reservation tokens, that entitle its holder to reserve a name on a specific server when the reservation time comes.

Name reservation priority

Name reservations will be allocated from the highest backer tier to the lowest backer tier.

1. Kickstarter backer tiers, highest to lowest.
2. Nyári crowdfunding backer tiers, highest to lowest.
3. Pre-order packs purchased from the web store.

Within each tier, the name reservations are on a first-come-first-served basis.

Name reservation availability

Az alábbi információk némelyikét a közelmúltban nem erősítették meg a fejlesztők, és előfordulhat, hogy nem szerepelnek a jelenlegi fejlesztési ütemtervben.

Name reservations were slated to begin during Alpha-1.

Multi-boxing

The current policy on multi-boxing (multi client) is that players are allowed to own multiple accounts, but may not launch multiple game clients from the same computer. Players may not use any software to automate character actions or mimic keystrokes.

• This was previously stated to be: If a user has a legitimate account and is not botting or using complex scripting then multi-boxing will be permitted.

Multiple accounts and multi-boxing, that's a little bit difficult for me because it could be conceived as pay-to-win, because you can progress on a second character and you can then gift that progression to your primary character. In that scenario yes I can see the argument. However if the character progresses with the same amount of effort and time needed by the person who's playing and they maintain that progression on that character, then I don't consider it pay-to-win. I consider it a second account. So initially what I'm going to say is having multi-boxing capability will be allowed within Ashes of Creation. There are a few safety nets that I put in place that restrict the ability for abuses that we've seen in other games. – Steven Sharif

Felszerelés

Lehet hogy lesz felszerelés lekötözés (BoE vagy BoP) de inkább kivétel lesz mintsem általános, mivel az nem szolgálja a gazdaságot.

• Kevés felszerelés darab lesz fiókhoz kötözve, vagy soulbound (karakterhez kötözött) az Ashes of Creation-ben.
  • A gazdaság a barkácsolás és a tárgyak kopása körül mozog.
• Felszerelést lehet szerezni barkácsolással, gyűjtögetéssel és feldolgozással, továbbá Raid-ek során és Dungeon-ökben, Boss-októl.

A lot of what we experienced in games that usually come before us is that many things are account bound and they're soulbound to your character... Instead very little here is character bound. Very very little. The vast majority of gear- yes you will get quest related gear as rewards- but it won't be let's say one set in one dungeon and you must run the dungeon over and over. Instead we want to really emphasize the reliance on the economy and crafters and gatherers and processors to support a majority of the gear structure in-game, combined with that of world raid bosses and dungeon bosses; not a repetitive quest line through a single dungeon. – Steven Sharif
