[ornate nimbus]

Some ppl are playing

[tough mortar]

you've not participated in any alphas before have you?

[median fossil]

wioe it ALL AND RESTART

[junior steppe]

I'm so confused, I've waited in huge queues with server issues in literally every MMO launch ever, including expansions for old and stable games like WoW and the like. Why are people mad or surprised about this?

[sweet lintel]

ok.. reached that bs too.. after waiting in queue.. error to authenticate with web services ..

[past wave]

I mean on the upside, at least if the servesr are down people can't downvote on steam for the poor state of teh alpha?

[silent cedar]

Lots of them actually

[sonic olive]

login queue is frozen for me

[midnight bear]

First day gaming?

[deep kernel]

classic

[quaint trout]

im still downloading with 5mb/s

[muted vault]

Dude who ever is running the steam hub this is a BAD LOOK omg

[tawny remnant]

lol

[charred thorn]

cheers, not that i have another friend having exact same problem not getting a sign in button, also got rid of it and still getting blank launcher. TY tho

[clear wharf]

first time experience for some/they get mad everytime it happens

[eternal crow]

end of day its day one of steam launch so if people are having queue issues id maybe take a break come back in a couple of hours or days if want the servers to stabalize if sever keeps lagging after i log back in ill probably go on gw2 for tonight

[elfin flint]

because it's ashes and they had alrady planned to be mad is my guess.

[modern tree]

yer i saw that :S kinda crazy if true

[static spindle]

Any fix?!

[frosty dirge]

dont say what he said could easily have been some shit like steven being a scammer it is most of the time

[deep kernel]

queue is back up

[tawny remnant]

anyone able to log in?

[rotund idol]

because they decided to force us onto Steam and then didn't adequately prep for the verification server load so massive numbers of people can't get into the game they paid a box price for

[lunar elbow]

heeeey back in queue

[junior steppe]

That review is useless though. Mad they can't log into a new MMO launch within an hour of release? C'mon man.

[frail sable]

hahahaahha

[loud quiver]

it's not the long queues, it's the authentication server being down and nobody able to link accounts to download the launcher from steam that we were told we didn't need to download after initially telling us it would never be on steam

[unborn latch]

oh it does. i have 2 hours on steam already, and cant pass queue

[rustic geyser]

I have the issue where it cannot verify my account but I have synced it:

[foggy umbra]

people love to have something to complain about.....same people will complain that the game is unfinished when its literally in early access and in an alpha state lol

[junior atlas]

i called it, i said that a lot of ppl was coming to the game and no one believed that im pretty sure they will need to open 20 servers hahahah

[reef cliff]

https://tenor.com/view/michael-jackson-comendo-picoca-gif-9669437860846841235

[eternal crow]

i was able to earlier but had toi reboot the game 3 times due to random lag bugs

[ornate nimbus]

What was the original post in the hub? Like, were there threats, slurs, etc.?

[muted vault]

Bro gives it a 10/10 but went to call it a scam?

[winged gust]

queue back up

[violet flower]

Go into device manager - disk drive - and properties - togo policies tab and uncheck the cache box

[rustic schooner]

queue has returned

[tawny remnant]

queue postiong 6506

[coral venture]

? did i miss something

[main herald]

no im 6506!

[winged gust]

6302 in line

[past wave]

Yeeaaahhhhh this isn't a tightly controlled private alpha where they can moderate to their hearts content - they gotta be careful - that's a horrific look on a fresh launch

[cunning mauve]

fuck player collision in MMOs, that is all

[raw adder]

It's at least a 5/7

[plain plaza]

i think once they fix the site its all will work

[frosty dirge]

he still gave it a thumps down that is all that matters and could easily be saying 10/10 to make his complaint look more legit people like that can be real manipulative

[median fossil]

Lvl 15 players in game already

[reef cliff]

Don't worry, I'm sure the reviews will bounce back once people get a chance to really play the game for a couple hundred hours.

[eternal crow]

wait early access on steam is only £31 surely they ned to give those who bought the kickstarter packs for alpha access that were higher priced some more goodies feel little bit robbed lol

[tawny remnant]

down to 4700 already

[violet flower]

FOR ANYONE DOWNLOADING OR NETWORK SHOWING 0 EVERY FEW SECONDS DO THIS____________ Go into device manager - disk drive - and properties - togo policies tab and uncheck the cache box

[junior steppe]

I linked a few days ago and got in fine today.

[fierce bluff]

Verify your game files on steam if you got authentication issues

[quasi nacelle]

There is a stamina skill tree!?

[muted vault]

The level of cognitive dissonance in this Discord never surprises me 🤣

[sonic olive]

10/10 Best login simulator

[rotund idol]

<@&519722995778977812> would love to know what the punishment for the same guild that had people banned last phase is going to be for them exploiting and already having people at level 14

[tawny remnant]

2 minutes estimated to get in

[ornate nimbus]

at least u got your drama to farm, happy for you

[thorn marten]

That was clearly a sarcastic 10/10

[midnight bear]

The amount of people crying about log in problems on a launch day is fantastic to see.

[junior steppe]

Screenshots?

[jade orbit]

i got in booyzzzz

[eternal crow]

i dont know if this helps people but i just clicked leave queue as mine froze and clicked sing in again and my frozen queue dropped from 7 minutes to 3

[magic current]

Im in - dont start with the play button in steam

[south flare]

yeah my account is blocked for no authorized :p

[reef cliff]

If you are experienced and can't hit 14 in a couple hours...I can't help you..

[frosty dirge]

wut ??? so you believe him with no proof but anybody that questions him is a shill

[midnight bear]

Bro chill out. If you know what you are doing you can level quick. They've had 2 hours already.

[fierce bluff]

solved it for alot of others

[hexed knoll]

Where's the proof?

[wintry robin]

annoying hater, good riddance

[south flare]

when ?

[woven oriole]

lol you have to do 2 lines of queue, for the launcher to authenticate and to get into the world RIP

[mortal cobalt]

Who exploits in an alpha

[olive parcel]

https://tenor.com/view/bait-thats-bait-tom-hardy-mad-max-gif-5055384

[sweet lintel]

huh.. launching the game 🙂

[jolly raptor]

im lvl 25, trust me bro

[eternal crow]

not being rude or anyhing but i want to confirm thats not to bad most mmorpg launches for example wow you can be waiting like 6 hours to get in

[reef cliff]

It's actually early access now.

[tiny scroll]

authentication is back up and now sitting in a fun queue

[lucid tiger]

This give proof

[fallow finch]

absolutely, these queue's are nothing

[midnight bear]

When FFXIV launched ARR, my login queue had about 600k people in it

[fierce bluff]

the last 30 minutes

[bronze rock]

how many peeps getting the can't verify steam account

[full surge]

Where? I don't see them

[hoary flower]

It's in alpha.

[clear wharf]

you can tell the auth is back up when the queue pos slows down

[eternal crow]

no i swear mines froze at 7k after getting the ok messaged i clicked leave queue and sign in and its dropped to 5k and well 2 mins now as i said dont know if wil help people it may just be a bug

[civic jolt]

feeling rich

[rustic schooner]

more likely there some sync issue with the AOC servers and steam

[cobalt ginkgo]

i miss ptr

[gleaming leaf]

sooo do i have to buy the game again on steam to play?

[ornate nimbus]

can be both

[past wave]

At least the queues are giving me time to decide between summoner and cleric for support

[grand badge]

how about you open some server space omfg

[wintry arch]

If someone is exploiting, please provide whatever evidence you have and provide it to Support

Select "I would like to report a player" here: https://support.ashesofcreation.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

As a reminder, this isn't the place to accuse people/guilds of cheating. It's fine to report people to us, but please provide the best info you have so we can take action, and fix exploits

[reef cliff]

Early access is also valid, it can be both..

[pliant sparrow]

seems the launcher is in alpha too

[sonic olive]

Yeahhhh another fail login attempt

[eternal crow]

anyway WHAT is everyones favourite race and what dwarf race is best? im not sure if there is a benefit to picking either or

[frail sable]

no

[deep kernel]

I beat the first queue boss!

[rustic schooner]

anyway - am in after the steam link error

[reef cliff]

Tulnar....

[rotund idol]

you can see people are level 14/level 15 in the game, and you're aware that's not possible playing legitimately - where's the GMs?

[orchid quail]

on to compiling shader boss!

[midnight bear]

I verified game files and my linking issues went.

[pure spoke]

peeps some of us have been playing for a full two hours. What are you going on about?

[noble zodiac]

Cant launch game now lol

[gleaming leaf]

thank god guess just got to wait for website to come back to be able to attempt login

[south flare]

enabled steam account ...

[fathom urchin]

No tulnar yet 🙁

[eternal crow]

what one is tulnar again? is that the elf?

[lethal rock]

How did you get through it?

[quaint trout]

why? isnt download the problem instead of the disk cache?

[runic forge]

Any idea when the "scheduled" maintance will be done on the website?

[reef cliff]

https://tenor.com/view/smile-corner-alone-sad-gif-5204367990821503952

[full surge]

no

[hybrid mist]

Thanks for a great launch. We spent a lot time testing your game, reporting bugs, and now we can't play in group of friends because some of them can't log in.
You promised different launch.
Just screw this, thanks a lot.

[austere osprey]

Frognar. Frog headed humanoid

[amber heron]

I participated in all Alpha 2 and all of them were smooth, or at least much smoother than this one. Also by design, not only by technical issues.

[wintry robin]

w devs

[cobalt ginkgo]

verifying files worked for me, or it did nothing regardless, im in now

[strange escarp]

Ya, having to rely on player reports for this seems very redundant.

[uneven sky]

I have linked my Steam account, game is available in Library but cannot install? Do I pay again? No way lol

[pure spoke]

We are playing without you. wave

[wary iron]

still getting unable to verify account error

[ornate nimbus]

he's not saying they are not, he's saying to give them the evidence and they will look into it.

[fierce echo]

the bald man joins tomorrow is gonna be craaazy

[midnight bear]

Bro that loading screen music hits HARD.

[pliant sparrow]

2x times already...

[lethal rock]

how do you verify?

[rotund idol]

they have server-side data, forcing player reports is absolutely unnecessary

[sage raptor]

have you guys tried starting the game? worked for me

[clear wharf]

dang just missed the batch of players

[eternal crow]

ahh ok so for dwarves is it better go classic mountain or the pacific islands kind of ones

[south flare]

same here

[jade saddle]

Whatever your heart desires

[austere osprey]

Go for which sounds more fun

[midnight bear]

Right click game go to properties >> installed files and verify game cache

[near atlas]

Nice job on the map looks much better

[sonic olive]

number 4 for me

[amber heron]

They may look into it but nothing will actually happen.

[frail kelp]

same

[golden laurel]

web in maintenance

[ornate nimbus]

Yeah they will do both. He's just saying to share the evidence so it's easier for them. Like if you have the player names, the activities they were doing at what time, etc.

[eternal crow]

is the racial abilities different as in better sailing but i always go with the dunir

[golden chasm]

Y'all gotta get the site back up ASAP.

[grizzled plover]

is the main website down for everyone else?

[frosty dirge]

shit aint working anymore

[patent iron]

lol how can u connect ur steam to ur account if the website is down for maintenance. i kind of feel like u guys have chosen the WRONG time to bring down ur website.

[unkempt orchid]

Level 14+ is crazzy doe, no?

[eternal crow]

ahh there n ot out right? are they still coming?

[main herald]

IM IN??

[rotund idol]

literally impossible without exploits

[wanton ruin]

scheduled maintenance during launch? wtf?

[chilly stream]

its EA release theres expected to be some issues but wasnt expecting it to happen after a 30k person queue... 5 times in a row

[chilly kiln]

any fixes?

[midnight bear]

@vague leaf congrats bro. Your vision has lead us here. As someone who has been here from the start, it's a massive moment booting up the game and hearing that loading screen music hit.

[unborn latch]

game only has 20k players. how are the queues failing lmfao

[woven oriole]

well if we actually have 15+ already, it smlls to wipe

[grizzled plover]

unless they needed a critical update... just need more communication

[noble zodiac]

Damn, you can boot? mine just crashes now everytime.

[south flare]

unable to verify steam account rip 🙁

[patent iron]

agree.

[clear wharf]

only 3k of us still stuck in the first queue

[charred mauve]

was there a wipe in the past hour or did my character just delete itself lol

[raw adder]

Not entirely. They have more methods to handle that kind of situation now

[uneven sky]

I have linked but cannot install, do i need to pay again?

[eternal crow]

btw any uk / eu casual guilds recruiting currently onlotharia cant play every day but looking for some people to help learn and enjoy game with im scottish and autsitic

[sweet cosmos]

verified my files and it didn't fix my steam linking issues 🙁

[full surge]

restart steam

[chilly stream]

game dont like me guess ill play in a week when they work out the kinks

[jade saddle]

Restart steam

[midnight bear]

Idk maybe it works for some... I restarted steam too.

[cloud stone]

i verified twice after 2 fails, now im in

[golden chasm]

<@&519722995778977812> Y'all need to get site up ASAP or game will die. 🙁

[clever current]

people were warned to link there steam early

[acoustic harness]

23k poggg

[pliant sparrow]

If you're still having issues with Easy Anti Cheat (EAC) when launching, you can try navigating to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Ashes of Creation\Game\EasyAntiCheat (or wherever you have the game installed), double-click on Install.bat, and see if that lets you install EAC manually

[simple prism]

I pass the login queue but my game don't launch nothing happens

[tepid bay]

I linked my steam but it says not able to verify ? Anyone know how to fix?

[pale rock]

had the same problem restarted my comp and now im on my way in

[west zodiac]

want to elaborate more then just no???

[reef cliff]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-no-oh-my-cat-shocked-paw-gif-15231385

[pure spoke]

game will die... lol. Because you didn't link before last minute has no bearing on the success of the game. 10's of thousands are playing.

[torn fable]

I relogged in/out of steam and it got me past the "can't verify steam" issue

[fringe lark]

The hug of death came

[golden chasm]

I'm not saying for me. I'm lvl 5 right now.

https://tenor.com/view/yessir-4t-4tomistalt-4tomist-4tmeme-gif-14459048726828889418

[loud quiver]

By who? I got an email with the subject "Link your Steam account," but prior had been told we could use the original launcher. There was no indication that it was MANDATORY

[fallow stirrup]

yet the queue says 30k+ players. Its like they overstating the player count but forgot you can see the figures in steam

[chilly kiln]

thanks very very much

[strange escarp]

the email said it was mandatory

[abstract jungle]

level 14 in an hour is doable, no?

[pliant sparrow]

trying verifying files in steam will let you know if it worked

[autumn swallow]

any1 know how to do darkening deep

[reef cliff]

How many people are in queue with a static group waiting for them?

[pale rock]

try and restart comp

solved my problem and im in char creater now

[eternal crow]

i was told other day when i asked in here that it was mandatory for steam?

[golden chasm]

Lol I'm in the game. I meant for all the steam buyers man.

[ionic schooner]

Is there a list that shows what time zones the different US servers are in?

[ocean tangle]

this damn steam account error not linked is annoying

[ornate nimbus]

Like in a week, there will be videos of ppl enjoying parts of the game. Some with drama..

And ppl will still be able to choose to join or not. That will last for a year or two and then Beta will be announced with ppl giving it another chance because they have nothing better to do

[static spindle]

I havent played in awhile, whats the ideal group size again?

[eternal crow]

i kept getting could not verify you i rebbooted steam as per your instructions and straight in thank you all

[lethal shore]

I mean they announced it a bunch of times, sent emails, etc.

[sonic olive]

Ok close your launcher and re launch ashes it should work to beat the login

[proper gate]

Question - do I have to buy the game on Steam again or are we getting a steam key as original buyers? Sorry, haven't been following along for a while

[random notch]

verifying steam files fixed it now i can play

[spice cedar]

Guys if you are enjoying the game leave a positive review too!!! Try and balance out the long time haters!

[loud quiver]

"Prepare for December 11: Steam Linking, Harbingers, and Sport Fishing!" this is the only email I got

[ionic schooner]

I got that a little while ago, just logged in and Steam account was sorted. Might just take some time.

[chilly stream]

the prophet has arrived

[wintry arch]

I promise you, the team is very aware how rough things are when there are issues with the site

Steven and team are actively working on this. It's front of mind for us

[blissful yoke]

lol people need to take some time to breath, they can clearly read here in discord there having some heavy load issues. Step away let the devs get some fixes going and come back in a few hours. This is why I said we needed a Steam launch so servers can start being tested on a huge player load. But people only replied cynically saying the servers were ready.

[frail citrus]

when will the shop be available?

[fringe lark]

Have to link your account (website is down atm hence ppl freaking out)

[fathom urchin]

If your backed it previously they should of been sending you emails to link your steam and ashes accounts, do t need to buy again.

[magic current]

Now in the next queue.

[clear wharf]

i got throught the first queue

[ornate nimbus]

Should have seen the 4 other times it was the death of the game

[thorny goblet]

For anyone that is having issues with it showing that it isn't able to verify your steam account after the que login. Restart steam. That just worked for me.

[silver kelp]

it is a bug to stay on the same que position on the login que for more than 10 mins?

[sweet cosmos]

I did and still having issues

[strange escarp]

If only there were some way to foresee this happening.....

[tender tulip]

Havent played in 4 months this is funny AF

[chilly stream]

unironically going into properties and verifying integrity of files fixed it for me

[elfin flint]

gotta go on the AOC website, log in, and go to where you linked your discord. You can link your steam account then you will see it in your steam lib. I hear though the webserver is currently down due to it getting hammered right now.

[sweet cosmos]

restarting steam and verifying files a second time....wish me luck!

[runic forge]

You can not go on the website, it's down for "scheduled" maintenance

[magic current]

Relatively smooth compared to tha last few MMOs

[woven oriole]

same for me, it got me into a queue of 1000 ish but after 30 secs gone game launched

[slim vector]

This time is different though. Don't ask me how, it just is.

[grand badge]

Please remember - this is Alpha - once you are in, you will love the game

[reef cliff]

Did you go and dig in all your game files and delete everything if there was anything there before? could be the issue..

[ocean tangle]

This reminds me of EFT 1.0 launch absolute disaster

[elfin flint]

Yea I said it was down

[short schooner]

got the account error. validated and tried to get back in and it worked

[sweet cosmos]

I did not 🙁

[ornate nimbus]

that discord overlay will kill you xD

[midnight bear]

that screen music is sick

[pliant sparrow]

confirmed - same here - files verifying helped

[subtle roost]

23k people online and still 3 k in que ;DDD

[slim vector]

Turning Steam off and on again worked for me.

[cobalt ginkgo]

its wild, in game, its very very smooth

[woeful marlin]

How to get rid of this?!!!

[wicked charm]

Make your character quick and join me in the 2nd much longer queue

[chilly stream]

we in

[fallow stirrup]

wonder when they will add Crypto/NFT to the game

[wheat nacelle]

you got far sight, that's a buff XD

[elder vigil]

what server is pirate software on so i can avoid

[slim vector]

https://tenor.com/view/itcrowd-reboot-gif-4770974

[chilly stream]

omg theres another one???? LOL

[ornate nimbus]

yeah, NFT drops by world bosses

[woeful marlin]

ha ha

[cyan quail]

Polar apparently went to Resna, much to my disappointment in attempting to avoid rhem

[elder vigil]

ok

[ornate nimbus]

worth restarting in another one lol

[abstract jungle]

it's been 84 years and i'm still not in.

[sage parcel]

the NPC Captain Redblade is missing from 2nd Sword Outpost on Shol

[blissful yoke]

No it’s not a disaster people just feed and hype negativity to large scale’s because they’re board and frustrated or already didn’t like the game so these people are of course fanning the sparks to set everyone into a blaze of hate and negativity people are so easily manipulated.

[lost pine]

restart steam and i did pass the account issue

[plain wren]

I mean, I can't play. Clearly a disaster.

[ornate nimbus]

For those who got the linking error, just getting in after a few tries or any action taken?

[deep kernel]

my whole PC freezed while ingame lol

[magic current]

I passed it by starting from the launcher - or they fixed it.

[ocean sparrow]

Are all the realms with queues now???

[woven oriole]

no queue servers are in low

[jade orbit]

and after that you will reach a 3rd queue when killing mobs 🤣

[reef cliff]

https://tenor.com/view/steam-uninstal-halo-game-app-gif-25775026

[magic current]

Lyneth is queued - about 200

[ivory plinth]

Shol is queued

[ornate nimbus]

Queues are per Realm, per server workers. So you can try going to Anvil starting area, prbly less popular

[remote silo]

which server is NA west?

[wind silo]

This happens to online games all the time. The most famous was Diablo 3 on launch day. I am not surprised people get confused when the servers get bottlenecked like this.

[cursive tusk]

I've gotten the steam link error 15 times... should I just keep trying ?

[thorny goblet]

Sure, but every mmo launch i've ever been a part of has been just like this or worse. I understand people want to play but this happens in almost every launch to some capacity.

[deep kernel]

my character got wiped LOL

[blissful yoke]

The games servers have never been tested this heavily before there are going to be issues your crazy if you thought it was gonna be a smooth transition on an Alpha/early access launch.

[vestal crest]

So willthere still be more wipes or is this now live ?

[reef cliff]

Hell yeah! Early access hype!

[amber heron]

Check if you are in the correct realm

[quiet glen]

Can someone tell me where I can find the key bindings for toggling action combat? I am stuck in action mode and cant find to get out of it

[magic current]

There will be at least a wipe before live and probably one before Beta.

[vagrant arch]

verify files and you good to get in

[pale rock]

try and restart computer and launch again it worked for me been in char creator for 10 min now

[reef cliff]

We haven't even hit Phase 4 yet.

[wide osprey]

"." i believe, or maybe ","

[vestal crest]

cheers - i guess no rush then for me thanks 🙂

[ebon spire]

[quiet glen]

THANK YOU!

[rose plinth]

totally forgot how do you remove abilities from bar or move them?

[magic current]

No just try out the classes and chill

[dull rune]

there are waaaaaay too many high lvl mobs everywhere like wtf

[wide osprey]

i know you can do it when looking at the skill menu with "k"

[thick hemlock]

Hey guys, sorry to ask - I bought Alpha1 like many here and I haven't really been involved much due to obvious work reasons.
My question is basically, when you bought a pack back then you were granted some skins? or outfits? Do you have access to them this EA? I apologize if this has been answered before somewhere else

[wind silo]

Left side on the first ability is a lock, click on it to unlock it

[amber heron]

Just open skills (K)

[rose plinth]

ty

[ornate nimbus]

press k to show the tree and you'll be able to move them around.

[strange escarp]

Guys..... Verifying files actually worked 😮
First reply (potentially) gets their name saved by me on a server of their choosing.

[quiet mulch]

How goes the launch queue goers?

[patent igloo]

in canada is there any preference on what server i should join i forgot

[magic current]

Yeah, the mobs are low med high even at the start.

[wind silo]

Cleared up.

[haughty kiln]

omg no i cant play 🙁 theres a queue on the first 3 hours.... unbelievable.... you cowards. 🤡

[west barn]

You just need to log in to your account settings and link your account to steam. But good luck, it’s getting hammered.

[wintry robin]

just a US server is fine

[shrewd geode]

Anyone know what the servers will be this time around? Streamer server? overflow server?

[cunning mauve]

rapier or longsword for tank yall think?

[ornate nimbus]

for which problem?

[patent igloo]

Ty havent played in so long

[thick hemlock]

I have done that. I am ingame, just curious how to access them haha

[dull rune]

yeah Ive died twice to ravens and hawks following me for forever and they one shot me. Thats shit

[full surge]

longsword

[magic current]

Prob don't want to start anvils unless you have a group

[lost pine]

Can i get my icon and character pls ?

[loud quiver]

[iron aurora]

Wtf positiok 6000

[wraith plank]

[west barn]

Skins and stuff? If they have the in game models ready they will be in a mailbox for you to collect. If nothing there, it’s not complete yet.

[quiet mulch]

Nice. Happy grinding.

[cursive tusk]

Has anyone else received the steam account link error 15-20 times?

[subtle kite]

failed to join queue. try again later 25

[strange escarp]

Mobs dying too fast to everyone, do you get credit for kills if you are in a party and team mates kill the mob before you can attack it?

[magic current]

Restart steam, verify and don't start from inside steam all worked for some

[tiny badge]

how the heck is there que times to log in but once your in all servers are low population? lol

[gray relic]

imagine being stuck in queue, couldn't be me smh

[wraith plank]

same here bruv

[west barn]

If you’re in party together and the objective is just kill, you will get credit if you are in range when it dies.

[icy girder]

Do we know where servers are located?

[ornate nimbus]

what do you mean dont start from inside steam?

[idle shuttle]

The tooltip in game tells you how that works. Its be most damage done with a slight bonus to who tagged it first

[floral hemlock]

new server tech

[strange escarp]

I am STILL willing to try to reserve a name for one lucky reply, on a server of your choice.

[wintry arch]

Tried to DM you. Seems like you have them closed

[magic current]

launch from the icon - not hit play

WHO TRYNA FORM A GUILD

[sullen tendon]

can i finally play on Bazzite now?

[fast jacinth]

Where all servers wiped with EA?

[wicked charm]

Welcome brother

[main herald]

im down 180 for the queue in Shol

[spice cedar]

Is the website still down for linking?

[dire nova]

@pliant sparrow 2h

[subtle kite]

am I stuck or is the number just not updating?

[strange escarp]

OH NOOOOO. Only 10 total characters across all realms?!?!? This is duuuuuuuumb

[west barn]

Server pop does not equate to queues. Each area within the game has serverworkers and they can only support so many players at a time. As they move off the serverworkers at the area where you first arrive in the game, you will see movement in the queue.

[wooden marten]

is anyone having trouble with the quest hand eye coordination?

[pliant sparrow]

counted that getting up by 100 in queue = 10mins so im gonna play in ~1h argh!

[wicked charm]

yiiiip

[hardy basin]

Bruh nobody here can even log in

[craggy pelican]

...

[loud quiver]

website's back up but still 504'ing log in

[wraith plank]

and they wonderin why the game is getting such bad reviews already hahaha

[cunning mauve]

summoner pets are way too big for level 1 lmao jesus

[full surge]

Only that mobs dying too fast to everyone lol

[chilly kiln]

nah, even after eac reinstalled and steam verifier doesnt help me it all. any chance anyone can help me ?

[loud quiver]

I saw one titled 'ashes of account creation' and lol'd

[wise wolf]

no

[burnt pelican]

its an ALPHA

[deep kernel]

did they disable the Steam linking? My friend cant even see Steam link below Discord link on the page

[ancient bay]

Did you guys get your skin? My mailbox is empty!

[strange escarp]

Which is exactly why they should've avoided Early Access.

[loud quiver]

website authentication servers are not alphas

[west barn]

All this is just helping them prepare for the big show.

[pliant sparrow]

try to delete that file and verify files again so it downloads it again

[burnt pelican]

you sound so stupid it hurts, thats literally what ea is for

[slate flax]

I assume name reservation is not available yet for those of us that have bought that package? =/

[mellow hinge]

😂

[craggy pelican]

Why do we have to link a steam account to a service that obviously does not work ?

[floral hemlock]

same thing happened to a friend, must be a bug lol

[tawny remnant]

anyone know where Shol server is located?

[near atlas]

They made it very clear its in Alpha/Testing/Development but ppl can't be bothered to read that stuff

[spice cedar]

Working fine for 25,000 of us 🙂

[west barn]

This is not release. So no. You can’t reserve names.

[strange escarp]

And the review button is for what It is being used for. But please, insult my intelligence more.

[frosty salmon]

Least populated US server??

[stark blade]

Copium lmao this is bad for even alpha.

[blissful yoke]

How many servers do they have up?

[acoustic harness]

Pog

[near atlas]

Jeez you managed to read my comment

[hoary flower]

Cool? Intrepid wants feedback.

[burnt pelican]

saying an alpha shouldnt be in EA is idiotic

[spice cedar]

6 I believe

[upbeat path]

review bomboing cause launch issues is a L

[iron aurora]

It tells me my steam account is not recognized wtf? After the 6k people queue now is signing in and im back at 9k people queue? Wow

[topaz dawn]

https://tenor.com/view/ragoon-linea-raccoon-racoon-trash-panda-gif-14239467786310849624

[strange escarp]

And negative feedback isn't allowed? That's adorable lol.

[deep kernel]

wtf

[ornate nimbus]

Still getting some money to show game has attraction.
Still gonna have a bigger population than previous phases to give feedback and fresh eyes on systems.
Still gonna keep updating and developping even if bad reviews or influencer drama

[hoary flower]

?? Of course it is. They want all feedback.

[languid burrow]

its my friends, he doesnt have the steam option to link

[full surge]

Same man, I'm scared to log out because of all the people having issues

[deep kernel]

same my friend too

[loud quiver]

only the right negative feedback

[west barn]

Did he buy a key prior to EA or just today through steam?

[strange escarp]

Then quit clowning the people who advocate for both sides of the review.

[blissful yoke]

Ok but what server is everyone going to is the question.

[abstract jungle]

The game remembered my key bindings. How?

[ornate nimbus]

worked without the verify

[languid burrow]

Just today on steam

[hoary flower]

When did I do that?

[blissful yoke]

If almost everyone is on 2 servers the max they said was 10,000

[cyan kiln]

Wait your guy's games are done downloading?

[tawdry stone]

Any news on when the website will be back up?

[strange escarp]

ooooohhhh you removed your emote. That's cute too.

[foggy fulcrum]

This game is cooked.

J/K J/K

[abstract jungle]

Performance is good though

[drowsy needle]

Probably a file in Appdata..

[stark blade]

Part of Steven's master plan is to tank the reputation of the login servers

[pliant sparrow]

or they made your bindings as default to everyone thinking those are neat

[burnt pelican]

oh no is the alpha state of the game not good enough for u

[tawny remnant]

downloaded mine via steam app on my phone

[full surge]

already been in for a while lol

[tawdry stone]

504 gateway since launch lol

[foggy fulcrum]

It was a joke. Read again.

[warm sleet]

I assume the website is getting hammered like an alter boy on Easter Sunday? I cant log-in...

[floral hemlock]

a 750 people queue will take about 45 mins

[frosty salmon]

6

[hoary flower]

I didn't, but thanks.

[topaz dawn]

well their claiming beta now. go figure

[foggy fulcrum]

Yep. Effectively it is being DDOS'd, just without malicious intent. Lol.

[warm sleet]

probably both actually.

[strange escarp]

Oh so then you know exactly what I'm referring to. Why are you asking then?

[dusky mica]

how can i beat this loading screen, ive got this 3 times and more after im tryin to join the server

halp

[foggy fulcrum]

Yeah, probably. Lol.

[hoary flower]

I think you're talking about someone else lol

[tawny remnant]

anyone have actual knowledge of where the US servers are located?

[strange escarp]

bruh @wintry arch literally tried to DM you.

[burnt pelican]

in the usa, hope this helps ✨

[topaz dawn]

i hear they are in states

[dusky mica]

cap, nobody tried

halp

[wary copper]

between the east and west coasts, supposedly

[tawny remnant]

dont want to waste 45 minutes logging in to a server on other side of the US

[foggy fulcrum]

West Coast. Likely California? But unsure. I can check once I connect to it.

[strange escarp]

Well.... They use Epic Game servers..... I can imagine they're not ever going to be good enough. Anyone who's played RL on a Fortnite update day knows exactly what I'm talking about.

[topaz dawn]

south of canada and north of mexico

[chilly stream]

alright locked in all my names

[chrome wasp]

game already getting review bombed on steam

[chilly kiln]

what time is my queue can keep like if i trying fix steam files?

[wary copper]

pretend ur not in queue and just talk here like the rest of us

[wintry arch]

Weird. My DMs go through to you

[brave sky]

Go leave good steam reviews boys

[burnt pelican]

people seem to think its a full release

[ionic schooner]

Wiki only provides a timezone for Shol, as US East.

[wintry arch]

DMing you

[dusky mica]

so its unavoidable thing?

[chilly stream]

now no one can take my names

im pretty sure it use to be Ohio in previous alphas, but im not certain

[wraith plank]

what linux

[pale rock]

problem to connect to lau´ncher restart you comp and try again worked for me done my char now im queing to get into game servers are full waiting to join ..

[dapper scarab]

Server queue population vs server queue once char is created needs work. 925 in queue to login with my char zzzz. Slow start I get it on servers to make sure they don;t crash but sheesh this is hours of a queue.

[shut leaf]

anyone have in game pics/video of the new mounts?

[ionic schooner]

Hoping either Resna or Lyneth are West coast.

[loud quiver]

I finally log in and get a 'website is down' page, 10/10

[raw adder]

All servers previously were based out of Ohio

[elfin flint]

verifying my steam files fixed the verification error for me. FYI. At least i'm in after doing so. Coincidence? maybe.

[graceful zenith]

someone testet linux and steam?

[strange escarp]

nah thats how i got in to reserve names.
@astral marsh Verify files. Might help

[astral marsh]

i have correctly linked 2 days ago on intrepid
why ?

[dire walrus]

literally. Tries for 20 mins, ragequits, review bomb

[ionic schooner]

Oh, so there's a chance all Early Access servers are also east.

[steep fulcrum]

all servers are in Ohio

[plain wren]

lies; every launch ever :p

[dapper scarab]

happened to me, just retry after a queue

[deep kernel]

mine is going up instead of down

[ornate flower]

Just got done with jury duty! How's the pvp in the discord?

[pale rock]

just restart your comp and try again is it so hard to do worked for me

[strange escarp]

Phenominal

[raw adder]

Get to work leveling to 10 to make the guild bro

[zenith linden]

any luck on this?

[wooden marten]

I think its bugged

[flint sage]

the reviews are funny af

[wind silo]

Yeah the good lot of the bad reviews are due to the que or bottlenecking of the servers.

[dapper scarab]

Shame the defendant wont be able to play 🤡

[astral marsh]

this isnt funny, the game i love is review bombing for good reason, this start is a mess 🙁

[zenith linden]

ok was looking in bug report didnt see it either thanks!

[hoary flower]

lol sorry had to

[flint sage]

someone complains that the game is not finished.... 😂 did they not see the big ass 'EARLY ACCESS' on the steam page?

[wooden marten]

I been killing those goblins for over an hour lol

[strange escarp]

LOL

[prisma stratus]

People dont get what early access means

[ornate flower]

ffs guys, it's not like the entire community hasn't been saying "don't expect it to be a smooth launch"

[fast depot]

it means more than Alpha

[quiet glen]

https://tenor.com/view/déguisement-balthazar-camouflage-gif-8669871535586865849

Hostile mobs in this game

[ancient bay]

Did u guys get skins? My mailbox is empty

[wooden marten]

is it really that big of a deal? its an alpha

[main herald]

how to prevent hearing loss from queue music?

[ornate flower]

Volume mixer?

[proud steeple]

which is the popular US server?

[west barn]

Not all skins are in game yet.

[rustic geyser]

Literally unplayable.

[zenith linden]

yeah lol the ones on the bridge? rip

[fast depot]

do all the white knight have "its an alpha" tattooed somewhere yet?

[ornate flower]

no, but we do have a cape

[fading ice]

Some aren't available rn. If you are suppose to have some that are in game should be there. I already seen a screenshot of skins on something

[wooden marten]

im not a white knight at all its a mess of a game but its litterally an alpha what do you expect

[fast depot]

it to not be on steam yet

[ornate flower]

I'm installing right now lol 😄

[meager hedge]

@wintry arch @frosty thorn i dont think anvils nodes on resna are getting XP again lol

[wooden marten]

what

[fast depot]

Early access is not alpha, if steam had alpha, it would have an alpha label, which it does not

[meager hedge]

nvm my UI lagging they good now

[wind silo]

Okay.

[ornate flower]

Early Access right now is defined to be alpha because the goddamn text says it's in alpha

[fierce thicket]

Last I played they hadn't been able to fix it (months ago) but were manually applying exp was that still the case until recently?

[eternal hemlock]

the brain be smooth with this one

[cunning mauve]

go to steams early access website, it tells you everything about it

[fading ice]

erm actually

[ornate flower]

Also, my meatball sub trumps all your arguments, it means I win

[wooden marten]

I agree EA is not alpha. but they decided to release it as EA as an alpha thats there problem.

[fast depot]

that's just in an attempt to curve the flood of negative reviews. they will come anyways though

[wary copper]

sounds an awful lot like white knighting to me

[full surge]

people advertising their twitch pages on world chat is crazy cringe lmao

[hoary flower]

Spoiler: A game can be in Early Access and Alpha at the same time.

[ocean sparrow]

Just got in. Wrf is there so many peeps just standing here doing nothing at the start location. Efff

[wintry arch]

I'll have the team take a look

If you haven't already, please also do a bug report in-game

[wind silo]

No one tell Drolkoth that they have an alpha tag on here.

[white parrot]

bro i cant even get mad at not being able to get in yet because my freakin download is only at 60% for literally zero reason.

[uncut spire]

I hope all you guys leaving negative reviews uninstall and leave so I can get in when I get home.

[jolly raptor]

🤯

[autumn kayak]

its early access to the alpha

[graceful zenith]

some days ago i have written here what will happen, and now im live here to see that -.-

[meager hedge]

I think it’s good now. Seemed to be a UI issue I did bug it tho

[ornate flower]

Quote. "Early access to our alpha two allows us to..." first line, second paragraph. Learn to read.

[cobalt ginkgo]

the map is so much better than it was the other day

[noble zodiac]

Game goes back to launcher after hitting launch game /bug

[fast depot]

i'm aware i gave them $120. Thanks.

[wind silo]

Thank you for your donation.

[opaque rivet]

someone know how fix it ?

[fierce thicket]

that's an Early Access tag they've just misspelled it

[ornate flower]

We appreciate your service to the cause. ;P

[eternal hemlock]

stop ya moaning then

[deep blaze]

Anyone knows how i can get my pre-ordered items?

[jolly raptor]

no sorry thats in spnaish

[wintry arch]

Got it. Passing on to the team that this is likely a UI bug / lag

[fast depot]

i'm not allowed to disagree with the decision to go to steam like 1 to 2 years too early?

[ornate flower]

26% downloaded. I will curse your presence for awhile longer. Hashtag sorry not sorry.

[eternal hemlock]

yea you are. Your feelings are valid

[wind silo]

You can disagree, but expect people to disagree back

[burnt pelican]

people dont read whatsoever

[daring skiff]

No. Since its not your company.

[west barn]

Not all skins are in the game at this time. If the ones linked to your account are in game, they will be in your mailbox.

[fast depot]

did i say everyone had to agree with me? i was commenting on blindly loving everything they do.

[ornate flower]

you can disagree, but does it matter at this point? Ship's just sailed my man. You can't un-early access.

[deep blaze]

o ok i see thx

[wintry robin]

every decision they make has a risk reward value. its very obvious that the reward for this was higher than the risk

[fast depot]

true. i will be sad when the mostly negative shows up, because i did believe in this dream to be great. and hopefully it will be one day

[wind silo]

Just informing you how agreeing and disagreeing works. It is a two-way street.

[winter sphinx]

really wish they would just let us launch from the launcher if we've had access previously. Made the mistake of not connecting steam account previously so here i sit unable to play

[thick vapor]

my god... how hard does it have to be to link an account better yet why couldnt we do this linking a month or so in advance less than 2 days from the email is ridiculous, i just need 1 minute to link and start download so i can go off doing what i was gonna do

[fast depot]

Thank you so much!

[ornate flower]

Just get in, /bug issues, and try to have a good time. 🙂 Thrash and cry if it makes you feel better, but don't expect others to agree with you either 🙂

[golden chasm]

It's mostly people that can't login.

[loud quiver]

Right there with you. Nowhere did I get an email saying "If you don't link you can't play"

[hazy pecan]

mistake indeed

[eternal hemlock]

imo those reveiws should be invalidated and removed as they arent reviewing the game itself

[cobalt ginkgo]

room temp iq.

[strange escarp]

They couldn't keep players engaged that had spent more than 50$ to buy in, and you expect a visible negative review will help them get more players after this week?

[burnt pelican]

it was announced everywhere so many times by so many people

[rustic geyser]

Its acutally an improvement, they were mostly negative. People are figuring out that you can just validate files / re launch steam to get in

[ornate flower]

I mean, if you can't link right now, it's because the system's bombarded and that'll ease up.

[wind silo]

I haven't paid attention for months and still saw the email. They sent it everywhere.

[loud quiver]

never got an email. all I have from them is "Prepare for December 11: Steam Linking, Harbingers, and Sport Fishing!"

[golden chasm]

I agree.The issue is the website and STEAM linking.

[wintry robin]

oh noessss they got some negative reivews ohhhh myyyy. oh my god people stop playing because it doesnt have a lot of content, noooooooo this cant be...

[eternal hemlock]

you just said it....

[ornate flower]

Let me check if an email was sent out ot everyone, I should have one if they did send

[burnt pelican]

they didnt email but there were streams, videos, announcements in discord, so many of them

[loud quiver]

this does not say that it is mandatory

[west barn]

Email went out on the 6th. Says it right there.

[wind silo]

I even went on the OG KS and people were leaving comments to inform those that don't wish to join the Discord or website about this information.

[upper talon]

should i retry even though being in this same position / est sec. for an hour? XD

[strange escarp]

This email? The one that says 'All players MUST use a steam account"?

[worldly wing]

I cant even get login to the ashesofcreation website lol keeps crashing.

[eternal hemlock]

reading hard

[hazy pecan]

This was the email buddy 💔

[loud quiver]

this does not say "You need to link your steam account"

[burnt pelican]

there was an email

[rich sail]

Brother…lol

[wind silo]

User errors, user errors everywhere!

[ancient bay]

My account has skins available! Looks like after I linked my account on steam my skins gone.

[strange escarp]

Oh goodness.....

[west barn]

Holy crap dude

[wintry robin]

"steam linking" but also "i saw nothing about steam linking"

[wary copper]

the word "must" is rather ambiguous

[ornate flower]

BRO IN THE SUBJECT IT SAYS STEAM LINKING. And the first thing in the email:

[hazy pecan]

brain errors fr

[eternal hemlock]

Ashes of Creation Alpha Two is fully moving to Steam on December 11, 2025. This means that going forward, all testers will play through Steam.

[wind silo]

The best error code in the IT field, user error

[burnt pelican]

"each unique account MUST be paired with a steam account" READ MFER READ

[jade bridge]

I've never read a thing ever

[full surge]

Damn so many tanks, love to see it

[west barn]

Not in picture format. Must only be able to comprehend emojis.

[wheat nacelle]

did they improve tank? it was pretty meh in alpha 2

[dry walrus]

Fyi your Link on the How to Link page https://support.ashesofcreation.com/hc/en-us/articles/46850906706963-How-to-Link-Intrepid-Account-to-Steam is broke

[wind silo]

Went with bard, hopefully people will accept me

[cosmic cedar]

is it a must to link to steam?

[ornate flower]

You can complain, but you cannot complain that they did not communicate to you. You just failed to read your email about the project you claim to follow.

[strange escarp]

Yo for not proofreading, your grammar is on par.

[loud quiver]

I'm not going to feel bad for not reading what looks like the same standard BS they send out begging me for more money for skins and mounts

[rich sail]

Took like 2 mins to link to steam btw, ezpz

[glad wharf]

Came to see how game was playing vs the PTR, but all I see is salt. Anyone have some feedback before I get home to download and hop in?

[feral eagle]

Guys, how can my mount regen before it dies?

[dry walrus]

zeems to go to auth.ashesofcreation.com then redirets to local host

[eternal hemlock]

so now your story changes because you realise YOU are the issue

[prisma stratus]

Yes

[wheat nacelle]

maybe in DMs, ppl catchin permas on steam for doing that

[cosmic cedar]

ty

[cobalt ginkgo]

LOL, my god the brainrot, and lack of accountability is baffling

[loud quiver]

Yep

[full surge]

Bards are in demand AFAIK

[native nymph]

Ashes of Account Creation is a really fun game so far !

[ornate flower]

I just sat through jury duty and you sound like the plaintiff that got whiny when they called him on not reading his pre-operative instructions. 😛

[eternal hemlock]

"i didnt get and email" and "i chose to ignore the email" are very different things

[strange escarp]

Lol first he says no one told him, then he says he refuses to read things to gain the knowledge. People like you can't be helped man, just figure it out on your own I guess.

[hazy pecan]

5 min queue with no launch issues, I'm just lucky I guess 🥀

[loud quiver]

I don't read pre-operative instructions either, so that tracks.

[fast depot]

this community is so nice!

[cobalt ginkgo]

right? im almost lvl 6

[glad wharf]

So it is possible. How’s it playing so far?

[wheat nacelle]

there's alsoa queue after you make a character now

[ornate flower]

then you are pants on head stupid, I'm sorry to inform you

[eternal hemlock]

you havent hit server queue yet

[strange escarp]

@scarlet stag Oh buddy gimme all the clown emojis, I don't mind. The statement stands.

[loud quiver]

I'm not the one that can't run a web authentication server, idk

[wary copper]

sounds like ur not in the game yet tho. so ima take that with a grain of salt

[solid lynx]

anyone figure out the Darkening Deep quest evidence?

[hazy pecan]

I shall update lets see

[ornate flower]

Can you run one that's effectively getting DDOSed? 🙂

[storm atlas]

Like glass in the game. Perfect. No hitches.

[loud quiver]

IDK, pay me and let's find out

[quasi nacelle]

Anvil starting area looks good!

[eternal hemlock]

prob why you dont have one or work in the industry idk

[cobalt ginkgo]

shockingly smooth, almost no lag, its better than the last ptr update

[smoky ocean]

@wintry arch dynamic gridding active?

[strange escarp]

Lets be real here.... The problem is that it's Epic Servers.

[ornate flower]

This is fun. 54% into the install. ❤️

[worthy urchin]

where ppl getting mayoral seal from ?

[wheat nacelle]

they have FSR now, so that helps a lot

[glad wharf]

That’s what I like to hear. The PTR was performing well last few weeks. Glad to hear it’s as good or better with all the volume.

[pliant sparrow]

well thats because 99% are in queue still 🙂

[jolly raptor]

yes queue, im in the queue 😭

[loud quiver]

I don't need one and wouldn't want to work in the industry

[cobalt ginkgo]

its pretty packed in game...

[ornate flower]

I can't wait for the slew of comments that are "There are level 25s already" with no evidence 😉

[slate flax]

I made the mistake of not linking my steam account in advance, and now the website is crashing and im unsure what to do. Been stuck on "initiating steam authorization" for quite some time

[wind silo]

The game is running pretty smooth for day one launch once you get in. There is some rubber banding to be expected on the mount and high speeds but other than that it is going pretty well.

[worldly wing]

sooooo when can I log into the website? 😄

[topaz furnace]

Iam actually possitivelly supriced

[torpid burrow]

Steven about to make out like a bandit if this is the first stages dynastic gridding working

[wary copper]

we are coming for them!

[eternal hemlock]

[storm atlas]

I dunno, there is a line at the quest gives in newb area. Hundreds, even thousands in Lion.

[glad wharf]

Down for now 🥲

[lusty oak]

i remember reading that i didnt have to use steam to play.....

[jolly raptor]

yeah and then they changed that

[ornate flower]

That changed shortly after the initial announcement, and it was emailed out on the 6th (Edit, originally said 9th, that was wrong)

[lusty oak]

cool. im out.

[glad wharf]

Originally yes, but that changed about a week before

[cobalt ginkgo]

i love summoner, the only issue im having in game, is with my own mouse lol

[topaz furnace]

they actually added quests and ! as quest marks...very nice

[ornate flower]

k bye

[rich berry]

this is probably a dumb question, but I got the quest to gather herbs, but when I go to do it, it says I am missing ther herbalism certificate

[wary copper]

seee above, 3 minutes ago for details

[cobalt ginkgo]

the whole new map is soooo good. such an improvement, i didnt expect

[dry roost]

Not sure why using Steam would be a bad thing for anyone

[glad wharf]

That leads to a bunch of salt though 🥲

[ornate flower]

Yeah. You'll need to log on to the Ashes website, and there's an option to link your account there. It is required. Yes, it was communicated 5 days prior.

[loud quiver]

I remembered that too, decided I wasn't going to pay attention until later, ended up with the day off and figured I'd check it out, not having realized that they sent out an email saying it was MANDATORY, because I don't read junk email, and the email subject did not impress upon me that it was important or anything more than another junk email about features

[wintry robin]

its not, its the best case scenario in every way except loosing 20% to gaben

[pliant sparrow]

when ingame after how long of inactivity one gets kicked please? am afraid to go even for a quick smoke

[rocky matrix]

You are trying to farm an herb you are too low for. Do daffodils and snowdrops.

[lusty oak]

its not about being "bad" its just annoying. if i can play games outside of steam i do. always have.

[winged linden]

I believe it's 20 minutes, but I am unsure.

[rich berry]

Thank you!

[ornate flower]

You didn't think an email that has in the subject line "Prepare for December 11" was important?

[pliant sparrow]

thx sir

[rocky matrix]

You are okay for like 10 min ez. Can afk fish while you smokie. wink I understand.

[wheat nacelle]

well it went to spam soooo. lol

[dry roost]

I mean, you're certainly entitled to that opinion for sure. Its by far the best gaming platform around, so I don't mind it.

[jade bridge]

Any mods have an update on the Website 504 error? im working so not in a hurry but just dont wanna spam yall is all

[sonic basin]

500 in queue...

[ornate flower]

But that's not Intrepid's fault, you see that right?

[wooden marten]

where can I learn fishing>

[loud quiver]

No, because the one before that asked me to wishlist it on steam, and the one before that was about cosmetics or something

[glad wharf]

I play on controller and do the opposite lol. I launch Rocket League through Steam. Been launching Ashes through Steam since A1. But I get where you’re coming from.

[jolly raptor]

best ragebait we had all day, love you

[ornate flower]

I'm just saying. You were communicated to. It's not Intrepid's fault you didn't check.

[dry roost]

I would argue it is far better than Interpid's launcher and web page system, so once you get it set up once you never have to mess with their janky crap again

[loud quiver]

thank you, it's been a hit so far. They go nuts when they realize I don't read

[wooden marten]

play tarkov to ease your nervs

[mortal cobalt]

Kinda dissapointing numbers all things considered. 25k? Rookie numbers

[wheat nacelle]

well it's a moot point because we're unable to be critical of anything

[ornate flower]

I'm just passing time while I install bros, if you think I'm getting worked up, I'm enjoying this thoroughly

[west barn]

I mean, there were people buying from the main ashes site less than 24 hours before steam launch and hopping in disc like wHer R servers? Like, why would you not just do some basic investigation like when does the game launch or is this game released before dropping $100.

[lusty oak]

yea arguing against what everyone is saying. sure is passing time well pal

[crimson heart]

whats new? is it worth to play?

[wary copper]

hey, your being critical about not being allowed to be critical. id like you to stop.

[ornate flower]

I see plenty of folks agreeing with me. 🙂 Die mad

[dry roost]

This update seems to actually have added meaningful changes to the game, I'm enjoying it

[topaz furnace]

its actually good, I was negative for 3 months but today I have to say they improved game alot

[worldly wing]

Scheduled Website Maintenance! How scandalous to do this at launch! D:

[loud quiver]

Everything I've seen from guildies so far is that it's a major improvement, lots of stabilization stuff, should be a chill time

[lusty oak]

die? wow...really

[wheat nacelle]

stop, there were enough casualties in the steam forums today lol

[dapper raven]

@wintry arch any news on the website being down, no news in news channel

[deep kernel]

this server queue goes down way slower than it should be

[ornate flower]

It's a joke my man, I don't actually want you to die, that would deprive me of the entertainment of enjoying your salt 🙂

[wintry robin]

the toxicity of my city of my cityyyyyyy

[strange escarp]

Isn't it just fun to sit on the fence and laugh at both sides?

[wraith plank]

does this game run good on linux

[loud grove]

good news everyone, there is a Q, ppl complaining they cant play, which means games not dead yet huzzah!!!

[lusty oak]

these are strange statements you are making....

[wheat nacelle]

Gotta run it in a windows VM like a true gamer

[dry roost]

He really doesn't appear to be salty though

[ornate flower]

Also enjoyable! 🙂

[wheat nacelle]

yeah the queue isn't moving much for my wife. she's been in there for like 20 minutes now and it's gone down 100-130

[dry roost]

400 is not 3-4 hour queue

[slate flax]

Some of us cant even merge our accounts to steam, so youre more ahead of the curve then you think.

[loud grove]

thats why you shouldve done this before today 🙂

[loud quiver]

I can't wait to get to the part of the game where I download it

[pliant sparrow]

from 750 to 280 in server queue it took me 70mins

[hushed terrace]

Had my account merged right after they announced it, on you for waiting so long

[shy igloo]

me too

[crimson heart]

can you get 2nd archetype yet ?>

[vast path]

What you think how high the number will go up for peak concurrent players?

[slate flax]

Its 100% my fault, my wife has had the flu and ive been full time dad/business owner.

[past lagoon]

MY SKINS ARE NOT IN THE MAILBOX WHAT DO I DO

[loud grove]

it took 2 seconds btw

[ornate flower]

I don' texpect the concurrency numbers to go insane at this stage

[dry roost]

Well you're in Polar so I would say find an exploit

[hushed terrace]

sucks

[pliant sparrow]

refund

[past lagoon]

https://tenor.com/view/tv-comedy-nbc-parks-and-rec-parks-and-recreation-gif-4407980

[wary copper]

yeah, ive gone down about... 300 spots in 30 minutes

[deep kernel]

yeah it takes like 5 minutes to go down one number

[ornate flower]

Hey, I'm not saying it doesn't suck if you didn't link earlier. It absolutely does, and I hope you can link soon (if you want to, I don't understand y'all who absolutely refuse to touch Steam at all, but that's your perogative)

[slate flax]

How long has it been available?

[winter sphinx]

Vaiden adamantly defending not even being able to download the game let alone get in que in a game that we've been playing for years because of a change in policy they announced like 5 days ago.

[pliant sparrow]

lucker -_-

[hushed terrace]

couple weeks

[spice hawk]

Any trick to getting on the website to link steam?

[near yacht]

anyone elses mail box cosmetics working?

[slate flax]

OOF yeah I goofed.

[ornate flower]

https://tenor.com/view/yup-dale-doback-step-brothers-yes-i-agree-gif-1579811350903017250

[loud grove]

i think once it was announced or like a couple days after announce but yeah it took 2 seconds, i did it like yesterday so lucky for me i guess XD

[wary copper]

117 left so... 11 more minutes? let goo

[vast path]

I guess most of players are stuck in the launcher

[crude wyvern]

so is darkening deep just broken

[ornate flower]

I did it when they said we could in this discord, which was like, what, over a week ago now?

[pliant sparrow]

oh maan i moved from 284 to 280 in last 10mins 😄

[torpid burrow]

Is it too late to start or should I wait till fresh start?

[burnt pelican]

for those whove started in the anvils, how good is the leveling in that zone?

[strong bramble]

https://tenor.com/view/neil-patrick-harriss-barney-stinson-himym-loser-bye-gif-12414519

[ornate flower]

because I do this thing called reading. It's kind of a superpower, I know. Behold my powers of observation. They truly are impressive, are they not?

[loud grove]

i mean the only time it matters is 1.0 launch so...

[crude wyvern]

well one of the story quests is bugged so lol

[pliant sparrow]

to late im afraid...all at top lvl and gear - wait for beta wipe

[torpid burrow]

https://tenor.com/view/kamala-harris-do-not-come-gif-25102112

[hushed terrace]

crate one?

[knotty jetty]

How dfuk this dude have a mule?

[hazy pecan]

Server queue def longer but the client queue was easy

[lusty oak]

immediatley mad lol you people are odd

[burnt pelican]

yeah a buddy and i started here and it seems pretty baron, not much around

[crude wyvern]

nah the one at veinbreaker

[wary copper]

crazy. prolly different servers. im on Shol

[lost drift]

Hey all, we’re aware of issues with the website and Steam connection. We’re working on it, and getting this fixed up is our #1 priority right now.

https://discord.com/channels/256164085366915072/502926268967157770

[pliant sparrow]

aah ok..Lotharia here

[strong bramble]

saying im mad because the gif says loser is odd

[hazy pecan]

Chose lyneth

[full surge]

ngl this party UI is clean

[crude wyvern]

want you to get evidence of corruption but there's nothing

[wary copper]

sounds like i picked right >:D

[winter sphinx]

Well you see i do this thing called actually having a life and sometimes that means not able to stay right up to date with discord notifications for games that I already have access to

[lusty oak]

why would you call someone else a loser if you werent emotionally faultered?

[empty shell]

website still down?

[strong bramble]

because youre a loser

[dusky mica]

how can I recompile shaders
somebody knows?

[young hawk]

I wouldn't have paid the 250 had i know. They were going to being it back twice and then . Move the game over to steam . Na now i don't even have the 250 preorder package

[ornate flower]

Just bought Ashes for a friend. I'm doing my part!

[tranquil bison]

so before u found the game today, this guy was playing the game for over a year, welcome

[cobalt ginkgo]

how is the game going for you guys? still complaining back and forth>?

[lusty oak]

lol ok. weirdo

[plain wren]

awww we're back to the maintenance website instead of account settings

[strong bramble]

i thought you were leaving?

[pliant sparrow]

To compile shaders by hand, you typically use a specific command-line compiler provided by the graphics API (OpenGL, DirectX, Vulkan) or a game engine, not standard C++ compilers. The process involves writing shader source code (e.g., GLSL, HLSL) and using the compiler to generate an intermediate bytecode or final machine code that the GPU driver can use.

[ornate flower]

Yeah he did say bye and is still lingering like a ghost LOL

[paper smelt]

Not long now.........

[lusty oak]

i never said i was leaving the discord...

[tacit beacon]

The last 100 go pretty quick tbh

[grim egret]

performance feels really good

[plain wren]

I just want to link my account T_T

[wary copper]

yeah, kinda awkward, ngl. we were like talking about him and everything

[deep kernel]

i dont understand hows the server queue so slow lol.. like 10 people every 5 minutes

[strong bramble]

true gotta stick around to complain, i forgot

[strange escarp]

Ey to be fair I said I was outties when i got my names reserved but now I'm just sittin here watching the jargon.

[lusty oak]

you gotta come in to post angry kid gifs, sry i forgot

[strong bramble]

https://tenor.com/view/toby-cry-phone-spider-man-cry-phone-spider-man-phone-toby-phone-gif-12875606672124040541

[plain wren]

Will the game still work through the old launcher?

[solar kestrel]

Butchered launch unfortunately. Stream reviews are brutal

[strong bramble]

old launcher doesnt exist anymore buddy

[dusky mica]

so i go do nvidia and drop somewhere here?

[empty shell]

so the the actual fuck do we link account

[sonic basin]

@lost drift the Second sword commander is bugged. completely dissapeared on SHOL server

[plain wren]

Sure it does

[turbid wigeon]

Has anyone from Intrepid commented on this or given any kind of ETA for a fix? It’s unusually quiet from them.

[torpid burrow]

All you all had to do was link your account before today - congratulations you played yourself

[junior steppe]

If only they sent out multiple emails over the course of a week or two explaining the launcher situation and what to do. Oh wait, they did!

[modern tree]

love it when a game thats bene using the same graphics for the past 12 months wont run the game

[solar kestrel]

Login to website & in settings link to steam . But websites are down lolllll

[neon maple]

OI WHERE'S ME BLOODY ARMS

[upper harness]

the queue position failed to connect me i have to do again a queue went for 497 to 1192 ....

[plain wren]

I do have a life outside of AOC

[strong bramble]

doesnt work tho, you HAVE to play through steam

[cobalt ginkgo]

arms are a crutch

[zealous comet]

Yo which sever is the biggest pvp? Or like best server

[raven kettle]

Real dwarves don't need arms to use weapons

[upper harness]

crashed on in queue hope u don't get what happened to me xD

[plain wren]

Lol, it let me select the release branch and is downloading it

[neon maple]

can i get a peg-leg style axe arms?

[lusty oak]

most of us told them a steam launch in EA would be a failure. here we are

[rugged pollen]

ahahaaha its ok no important. we have time we can play later

[strange escarp]

Wasting your time dude

[raven kettle]

lmao, you're in for a treat

[strong bramble]

https://tenor.com/view/baby-cry-crying-gif-4252788

[plain wren]

It's not like I can connect my Steam account right now.

[sweet cosmos]

I am wondering the same...I am sure they are all hands on deck trying to solve the issue

[lusty oak]

youre still on my nuts lol only replying to me now

[raven kettle]

you can have mine

[dry roost]

I don't know why this is a "failure" seems to be fine

[nocturne wave]

any fix for this yet?

[torpid burrow]

Might want to have that checked out

[strong bramble]

cause youre still bitching

[lusty oak]

my guy its not fine...dont pretend lol

[fathom urchin]

I thought people said they had success with completely closing steam and reopening it not sure

[raven kettle]

anyone who complains about server/login issues or queues has never played an MMO on launch or update day

[dry roost]

I played fine earlier, just in queue now. Game seems good. Much more playable than before. And as far as MMO launches go, this is pretty smooth

[tranquil bison]

they cant even move beyond 25k players, what a fail

[zinc furnace]

Did they reduce the amount of experience needed per level by a little bit ?

[strange escarp]

That..... is true..... @ me when its done, i wanna know what happens lol.

[strong bramble]

25k players for EA alpha mmo is good wtf are you talking about LMFAO

[fathom urchin]

I don't know how popular it is, but a large majority of people are at work....

[modern tree]

i dunno was playing fine on ptr and other servers. moves to steam... my pc isnt good enough apparently and im running a 7800 xt

[raven kettle]

from what I know lvl 1-10 are fast/easy and then it slowly declines and there are no quests

[dusky mica]

i want to recompile shaders because of this , maybe it helps, but i have no idea how . _ .

right now it doesnt look like mmo for me

[primal ocean]

Any idea on how long the website maintenance will be? Can't link my steam.

[plain wren]

It just gave me the launcher again but with this added

[ornate flower]

Finished installing, I'll see how it's goin with my own eyes. 🙂

[tranquil bison]

yeah and another 50k in queues between the 6 na/eu realms

prolly another 10k who cant even link accounts or make 1

[loud quiver]

been a few hours already now

[strange escarp]

[modern tree]

wouldnt hold my breath

[green haven]

so now that i have my steam account linked, how do i get the game added to my library

[raven kettle]

I got on the website by refreshing, but I already linked my steam account a few days ago

[fathom urchin]

Yeah.... They got a get that fixed

[manic musk]

Love how when I'm trying to link my account to steam the website gets denied because intrepid has trackers on their website now? wtf

[strong bramble]

people seem to be forgetting the 50k people in queues rn to even launch the game LOL

[signal plank]

Someone doesn't remember new world failing with 2k servers and having queues upwards of 20 hours

[sudden prairie]

can you enable action mode somewhere?

[dry roost]

Should just show up, restart Steam

[nocturne wave]

that worked, thanks

[dusky mica]

👉 👈

[loud quiver]

I can get to the part where I login, but I always end up getting a 504 before it lets me link

[green haven]

ty ill try it now

[wheat nacelle]

did they ever overhaul the crafting/gathering system? i know it took them a while to address the node spawn issues.

[tranquil bison]

i definitely dont. but they hit near 900k ccu's so... theres that. what? 5 years ago?

[steep finch]

cant even get it to link cause of thier maintaince

[wary copper]

https://tenor.com/view/wind-fight-gif-23866569

[signal plank]

And probably had one of the hardest player drops from 900k users. XD

[dusk shoal]

how many more hours

[dry roost]

This is also early access Phase 2 release, not 1.0

[plain wren]

I'm in the same boat. I gave up on A2 because the crafting & gathering were so bad I couldn't stand it.

[wary copper]

ahh good times

[zealous comet]

Biggest pvp server?

[lunar elbow]

...and now you can go deep sea fishing with friends XD

[tranquil bison]

this sheets a wrap. 2-4k players before the new year. see u every wipe until 1.0 then they charge u a sub ✅

wow is the best game ever made

[signal plank]

I think its still Resna from phase 1

[plain wren]

login server is the biggest PVP battle right now I think

[raven kettle]

I got past the queue

[wheat nacelle]

my observation was that the economy became very top heavy without a meaningful sink for the 100s of swords you had to make. it got harder and harder to make money from anything other than selling rare mats.

[strong bramble]

https://tenor.com/view/baby-cry-crying-gif-4252788

[dry roost]

Lol good troll

[autumn kayak]

what graphics settings stops all the blurry looking stuff?

[zealous comet]

Okay sweet I don’t know if it changed or not. I ain’t falling for someone telling me shol is new pvp 💀

[dry roost]

I also have a wow account, play it off and on, its a good game. Doesn't mean this can't be good too

[plain wren]

lovely....couldn't even find a copper node in the beginning

[wheat nacelle]

that's probably upscaling and the defauly resolution being 760p

[junior steppe]

That's it guys, some dude in discord said after the game has been released for 3 hours that it's already dead, pack it up and go home, it's over. It was fun while it lasted lads.

[signal plank]

Now ive only been lurking and didn't participate in phase 2 so take it with a grain of salt but it sounded like Resna was the pvp hub again.

[dry roost]

Dang guess I'll drop out of the queue then 🙁

[wheat nacelle]

they have upscaling worded as "Super Resolution Sampling"

[lunar elbow]

just wants to the front of the queue 🤣

[autumn kayak]

so we dont want super resolution right

[zealous comet]

Idk I haven’t rlly been on in a couple months but axioms on shol now and eph disbanded lol 😬

[onyx sun]

RESNA SW#3 IS UNPLAYABLE @wintry arch

[nocturne wave]

ok now, how tf do i fix this

[wheat nacelle]

depends, the game doesn't seem to run great with native resolution still.

[golden chasm]

Validate game files.

[jade plinth]

Theyve done such a good job 🙏 Im impressed

[sage cosmos]

i dont get it the login page says LOW server pop but the Q is not moving

[tranquil bison]

i mean, i got a lifetime sub. been here since 2017. but ive also played hundreds of multiplayer games and know how to use a computer so i know whats down the road 🔮 lmk if u log in, resna, add tygoro, so i can pk u

[fathom urchin]

Is ...there no more queue? I logged out like over two hours ago, was just logging back in now to sit in queue for when I get off work but it loaded right in....

[plain wren]

I give up. I'll just try again when the wife is asleep

[wheat nacelle]

the queue is when you click on your charaqcter and try to get on now, not the login server queue

[dry roost]

Didn't ask

[west barn]

Server pop does not equate to queues. Each area within the game has serverworkers and they can only support so many players at a time. As they move off the serverworkers at the area where you first arrive in the game, you will see movement in the queue.

[fathom urchin]

Yeah... There was none... It just loaded right in

[empty shell]

any indication how long this shit website maintenance is going to take?

[lunar elbow]

they're bracing for when they get their website back up and people can actually link their accounts to get in 🤣

[sonic basin]

Can we remove inactive players from spawn?

[sage cosmos]

thanks Modesty

[neon maple]

im bummed, i was like 2 or 3 months too late for lifetime. rip.

[fair inlet]

i wasn't going to play this phase, because the previous one was a real stinker for me, didn't even get to 25, BOY am i happy i played tonight. game imporved a LOT

[tranquil bison]

who da fook is this guy, buy rope

[jolly raptor]

cringe

[dry roost]

Yeah I'm enjoying it, looking forward to playing more. Good stuff so far

[neon maple]

dope, that makes me wanna wait even longer tbh. i havent played since the start of alpha 1

[fair inlet]

there's a good argument to say you're missing out

[cobalt ginkgo]

honestly thats the key, is to take breaks, if you dont, you almost dont notice how much Intrepid has done.

[atomic bane]

Website is still down. Rough.

[neon maple]

yeah it was very barebones, like 4 classes? i had a bit of fun, but i didnt wanna ruin too much. i think even now i might grind until tomorrow when poe2 league starts. then wait another chunk of time to see what else improves

[tranquil bison]

druid drop is litty, gonna see an easy 120k ccu's for the weekend in poe2

[cobalt ginkgo]

me 2, im in a holding pattern with this waiting for PoE2

[neon maple]

im a huge "druid as a class" fan, so im really excited. i hope its not trash to play.

[cobalt ginkgo]

bear looks amazing. Ziggy D Showed it yesterday, it was slappin

[blazing oak]

only 24k in game? because most ppl cant link their steam account xd

[neon maple]

im gonna try it all, but werewolf is looking to be my starter.

[unborn socket]

the vid today was pretty good too

[cobalt ginkgo]

i think the vines and lightning storm would be super good, his gear was bad for it, same with his supports

[west barn]

Chat slowing down. People getting in?

[blazing oak]

504 gateway burning my eyesd

[neon maple]

im also excited to play "druid" with other classes. since wildshapes are linked to weapon, seems like such a huge amount of possibilities

[unborn socket]

i think he is on point with poison and pin

[hazy pecan]

sameeeeeeee, cant wait for dragon form

[neon maple]

here we go, loading screen after queue lfg, only 3k shaders

[dry roost]

Shaders goes pretty fast you'll be playing in a minute, have fun

[hazy pecan]

For US ppl that can actually make it into the server queue's Resna seems to be the fastest queue 🙂 skol the highest and the third one in between

[cerulean cypress]

it seems pretty stupid tbh to have a queue at the launcher then another queue to login to a realm

[unborn socket]

it is but they are trying to handle the load and this is their bandage

[timber pulsar]

I just logged in, 0 q

[celest ermine]

So where did my kickstarter cosmetics go?!

[next glen]

Might want to ask the Intrepid's customer support if your KS cosmetics vanished

[timber pulsar]

Says 0 q for all three US, can confirm Lyneth 0 q

[fair inlet]

i kind of expected the game to get review bombed on steam, but still sad

[tacit beacon]

Destinies are pretty dope.. help with the leveling experience quite a bit

[lunar elbow]

Lyneth queue?

[smoky ocean]

cash shop cosmetic was more important

[dry roost]

Yeah really like that addition. Helps people get acquianted with the game and speeds up the early slog

[lunar elbow]

it was over 300

[celest ermine]

They are on the website. They aren't in game, in mail, or on my character. Don't see them on Steam either.

[golden chasm]

Site is back up yet?

[unborn socket]

no
