The store items are indeed account bound and not character bound. Specter answered this question for us quite a while back, cause we were very curious about it as well.

We have just added a Character Planner to the mix of free tools. It's still being flushed out in some places (ie, the ability kp and memory costs, along with the newest abilities that were added the last 3 day weekend event that are not on the Wiki) however it should be mostly functional and accurate at present. Let me know what you think, suggestions for easier use, and corrections that need it. Also, the public version is setup for a final screenshot of the character profile at the end. It can not be saved.

Enjoy!

at from buying a pack with lots of DynaTokens or the Foundation rewards,

Thats from the pack, I don't think we have gotten any of the dyna token rewards from the foundation yet.

@Gammatv said in Let's talk cosmetics and mounts for fun :

m hoping to get other opinions on ideas for mounts and cosmetics. I'm obviously strongly against P2W, but I'm not against pay to look great or ride in style

I got all the pets and the Dragon and Lion statues

Saving my other Dyna Tokens for the new stuff they will hopefully be adding later!

Well currently, there literally is only the human race. You make a valid argument and since the portal system has not been implemented yet, they may very well change it... however, their design is to keep the planets apart as much as possible to keep up the exoticness and value of the other planet's resources which will most likely be needed for the high tier cities. Their whole game design has been to make traveling worthwhile and not easily accomplished, hence why they make fast travel so hard and costly even for same-map travel.

Also, the reason each account starts with 2 alternative character slots is so that we are able to have a character on each planet if we so choose. This way, you can be a beastman and play as one, but still have a demon to play with your demon friends and enjoy all three playstyles.

Like we said on Discord, you will not be able to do this at the beginning of the game. Traveling between Arboreus and Syndesia must be done through a Gateway (Portal) which are very costly to do and temporary in duration. Travel between planets is not a daily thing, but a strategized and looked-for event like Christmas is for many countries.

So..... the run down of the things we discussed:

Arboreus is 100% PvE (Jacobo says PvP does not exist on Arboreus)
They are going to try to get Arboreus in the game by the last alpha test or the start of the Beta.
Governors can turn city PvP on/off
Players have to apply for a Crafting Role to use the city assets which have to be accepted by the governor.
Governors can set taxes on the city asset uses.
Resource Mines will be City controlled. However, there will be many single repositories added around the territory that have no permission control.
City assets use the City Tech Tree, non-city housing can only do up to "good" quality.
Cities can join together to make Nations. The more cities allied together, the higher the tech tree can go.
City picking on the Map will now be "Select the city you want to govern, the first governors with 20 people signed up will get that city"

Leap Slam is a thing, and will be implemented. This ability gives any person not-wielding a staff the ability to jump a certain distance regardless of the armor they are wearing.

@Jignutz said in Winter Alpha Spotlight – City Overhaul:

ild control more than 1 city, or would a shell guild b

guilds do not control cities, Governors do. And governors can be a part of whatever guild they choose to be. So, yes... multiple governors of multiple cities may all be in the same guild.

EE I... EE I... OOOOhhhhhh.... damn it! still the same darn corpse! (throws the shovel away)

Notwithstanding

@Specter

Awesome! That's great to know. thanks!

@Mirgannel12

Actually, many of the higher tier Kickstarter packages are still available, If you do a search on the forums, a few months back @Spector stated that the packages starting at $1,500 and above still have available slots to be filled and they will accept them.

@Xzait

Supposedly it will be up until close to release and they are also suppose to be adding more awards that go to 400.

@SirDiddle said in How hyped are you?:

atively new to mmorpgs, but isn't this game not very close to true horizontal? The talent tree + knowledge system seems to give a decent amount of room to grow

That is actually what I was trying to say.... I believe it was at the start of this thread that I had stated that the developers had actually lied when they said it was going to be horizontal where a newbie could take on a veteran.

The only way to have a "horizontal" game is to not have any growth which is exactly what Overwatch and those battle royal games are. An MMORPG by nature, has to have vertical growth.
