questions

[devout glen]

was it perhaphs only the prealpha?

[upbeat elk]

I don't think the alpha 2 access is tied to discord or even email verification yet. Logging into the site unverified should still give you the download option.

[short flint]

It is recommended to see the Alpha two channels, but not needed. This is what you should see on the website if you have access to today's launch:
@cerulean wadi

[twin cloak]

is this normal ? it stopped me from downloading and when i reconnect its this

[short flint]

This is still under visual NDA. I would recommend removing this. The servers are currently brought down for maintenance.

[raw widget]

^^^ I keep getting that too

[main shadow]

Does the launcher automatically update or do I need to grab the new one from the email?

[devout glen]

ok but i havent manage 2 enter since wednesday

[short flint]

The launcher will update when the update is ready

[main shadow]

cool! so auto?

[short flint]

Oof, then yeah, you'll need to wait for support to reach out to you.

[paper onyx]

The livestream is still at in 1h15 ?

[twin cloak]

fair enough x) ty

[short flint]

It might require you to close your current launcher and re-open it, but yes.

Yes, currently

[toxic beacon]

Question, how do we get Alpha Two can type in the category so we can post in the alpha two channels? Have access to alpha two but not sure how to do it ?

[short flint]

I would recommend deleting this, this is under NDA. the launcher is currently down. The environment options might change or might not. they didnot 100% confirm if that is in effect yet.

[short flint]

Follow step #3 #read-me-first

[analog notch]

link your AoC account to discord in the webstie under account connections and browse the channels here if not visible at first

[wide peak]

had 2 buggy quest. The first, was the curse quest. Had to talk to a number of people in the first city but could not find the last one. And the other one, was the quest where you deliver some flower powder. For some reason it got stuck.. So annoying

[short flint]

Make sure to submit these while you are in the game using /bug.

[wide peak]

i did

[gilded sphinx]

will there be a different launcher option? all i see atm is pre alpha 2 spot test and pre alpha spot test ptr

[noble pagoda]

last person is in stables, took me 20 mins to find the fker

[wide peak]

really?

hmm. Didnt see anyone inside there but ill give it a try again.

I tried for 2 hours to finish that quest

[woven ruin]

wait are the servers down? If so when do they come back up?

[analog notch]

allegedly in 3 hours 11 minutes as proper A2 phase 1

[spiral pine]

[austere fern]

guessing under the "environment" dropdown we'll see the option for Alpah 2 once its up?

[short flint]

that is the goal! According to someone else, Roshen told them that it might not show "Alpha Two" or "Alpha 2" on the launcher at the very start, but it will come out shortly to say that. I couldn't find it though to verify 😦

[tawny pulsar]

Mine still says Spot test

[short flint]

Also, if the environment dropdown DOES change, it should just be a cosmetic/name change only. Your access to the server realm and your character would not be impacted by that. Unless something grossly goes wrong like the squirrels got tired and stopped providing power.

[short flint]

Yeah, servers are down right now. We got 3 more hours to go. It might still say spot test even at launch - but that won't prevent you from testing still. For you as a tester, at that point, it is just a cosmetic thing.

[tawny pulsar]

I thought the servers were coming online at 10 am pacific

[rocky yacht]

does the wayfarer pack get access today?

[desert ivy]

Wayfarer pack gets access to Beta 2 which is years away

[cinder osprey]

anyone get this?

[short flint]

No, a default wayfarer package only included BETA 2 I believe.

[shadow yarrow]

I do not have access to type in the alpha two channels, should I if I have the key for starting today ?

[signal cradle]

Installing latest Direct X fixed it for me

[short flint]

Make sure to delete any images of the launcher [still under visual NDA]. But this is a known issue with a known fix. Also, keep in mind that there might be other launcher issues as they are doing maintenance. Let me try to find the link for you for that fix.

[west meteor]

Yes - go to #read-me-first and do step 3

if i buy alpha two wave 1 do I get access to the game when it fully launches? I assume so

@short flint Are we able do download it now or do we have to wait?

[tepid terrace]

I attempt to login to the launcher and get permission denied despite having Alpha 2 in my inventory.

Safe to assume this is expected and we can't download the game ahead of opening or is there an issue with my account?

[short flint]

The upate has been pushed for the launcher - but some people are seeing timeouts/delays/permission issues when attempting to access the download. so give it a shot, if it errors out give it a few more minutes and try again.

@tepid terrace ^^^ Same for you

[steady wharf]

Do we know if the NDA be fully lifted this up coming test?

[inner orbit]

im still getting access deinded but has the A2

No change to current NDA's are happening. The only change that is happening is that the Official A2 Test servers launching today will not have any NDA attached to them. All prior NDA's are STILL IN EFFECT

[near stump]

Ya the login servers aren’t online. That’s expected

@short flint i got you just wondering i do have a denied so ill wait a few min and try again

Servers might still be under going maintenance, i'd recommend trying every 15-30 minutes.

ok so i can record it then?

@short flint its all good i believe in the game im not upset lol

[cyan prairie]

@quasi snow Kickstarter from 2018 or so?

Yea i have access today

the launcher just doesnt say so

I figured its because of the delay hopefully?

[short flint]

Yes, your roles here look good, so you are good for today's launch. Just suffering from maintenance woes today.

[cyan prairie]

Same here, mine is messed up and I had to submit a ticket. I am waiting for a reply on my ticket.

yea yea i figured

did you download the game yet gnome?

Just connected my discord, about how long does it take for roles to update?

[exotic olive]

hey i took a look at the website and im not sure where to download the launcher. Also i havent recieved any type of email regarding the alpha, even though i have access

[quasi snow]

@cyan prairie yep just when i launch it says no access

[mortal rapids]

Got an error stating Permission Denied

[tame badger]

Remember to go do the 3 "S"`s before you start playing.

[quasi snow]

just wanted to make sure it was because of maint. not something else

[cyan prairie]

oh ok, that is likely cause they delayed the launch

[near stump]

Not an error. Game isn’t live yet.

[short flint]

I'll be transparent. Intrepid is SLAMMED with support tickets right now. So there are large delays on getting responses. Personally, I would maybe set expecations that you might not a response this weekend. But that is from ME and not from intrepid 😉 don't hold intrepid against my words here.

Shit, Shave ,Shower

[cyan prairie]

@short flint true, I would hope they would do some sort of reimbursement of game time or whatever since that basically means they technically didnt give me the pack i paid for :/

[short flint]

check #news for updates friend

[crystal beacon]

they should allow mods to verify our forum roles and let them manually grant our discord roles for the people having the connection bug, it would save them a lot of tickets

[short flint]

It would - but they also need it fixed, so data of it being broken is hugely important for that

[proud sandal]

ah is that what happened to me just now? How long should it take to connect?

[wild tree]

Did you find a solution to fix this? Im having the same problem

Servers are under maintenance, that might be an issue you are having

Nope, make a support ticket and i guess we are at the mercy of how fast support can solve it. Since theyll be busy at this current stage of the game it might take a while 😜

Is Lionhold the only place that had level 1 content? or can we run right to another node and do all the same stuff there?

Created a ticket, low priority though. Ty again my lord

[proud sandal]

So I should make a ticket if my discord isn't connecting to my account properly? I assume it's because I have a reserved name since it tried to match my reserved character name with the discord name and they do not match. Or should I try disconnecting and reconnecting?

Peace has been restored, Alluring has returned.

[gusty bear]

yep, 3 different browsers 😄 it's all good though, I can login to the A2 just fine which's what really matters. ty tho

[proud sandal]

Thank you, using incognito after disconnecting allowed me to reconnect!

[tulip hatch]

Glad it worked for you!

[short flint]

I can take a break!

[tulip hatch]

Gotcha as long as you can log in! hopefully support resolves your connection issues

[fading compass]

THANK YOU Roshen!!

You solved a problem I had, though it was an answer to another person's question!

[pastel summit]

hellO, i am unable to login/authenticate to main site AND launcher. I need support.
I openned this page on the forum with more info: https://forums.ashesofcreation.com/discussion/61977/cant-log-in-main-site-just-refreshes-launcher-shows-the-error-unable-to-authenticate-to-intrepid#latest

Does someone know how to solve this problem? @tulip hatch , any clue about this ?

[steep patio]

So question, how long does it take to get the alpha-two role? o.O I can't type in chat still and I linked my account to discord

[fading compass]

It was a verification issue. using another browser did the trick for getting my Discord connected to my account. Thank you!

[torpid flame]

mine keeps saying ive been denied not sure whats going on i have A2

[fading compass]

Also thank you to Alluring, I think you might have mentioned something about that too... way back in the thread.

[spiral pine]

Servers aren't on

[tulip hatch]

what error do you see on the main site?

[midnight nebula]

Are servers is still down?

[tawny pulsar]

1pm pacific

you cna update now thohg

[gusty bear]

Oh, hey again. I think I spoke too soon. I played pre-A2 yesterday and today just fine, but now I'm getting "Permission Denied" when I login to the launcher. Should I be worried or very worried?

[tawny pulsar]

though

[pastel summit]

the site just refreshes and give no error. it also doesnt sing in.

[tawny pulsar]

Servers wont be online until 1 pm pacific, check the news section

[wary rune]

That’s the same issue I have victor. I’ve been waiting on support with a fix. If you find something out let me know.

[midnight nebula]

But what about predownload?

Why I can't predownload?

[tawny pulsar]

I was able ot download 20 mins ago

[tepid terrace]

Seems to be luck of the draw if you can log into the launcher to download ahead of time or not.

[tawny pulsar]

the updated launcher just says Alpha Two in stead of Spot test

[gilded sphinx]

ive downloaded part of it just cant log in

[gusty bear]

Interesting. "Permission Denied" though is concering to say the least lol

[topaz fern]

I also am having permission denied when I try to log in

[exotic olive]

i got that permission denied too

[tawny pulsar]

Maybe it changed after i updated

[tulip hatch]

Download Servers are down - Permission denied is normal

[topaz fern]

I have all of alpha 2, the 375 package. So I definitely should have permission

[tawny pulsar]

Will probaly haft to update again and 1pm pacific

[tepid terrace]

How large is the Alpha 2?

[exotic olive]

copy that boss

[gusty bear]

that's reassuring, thanks brother

[gilded sphinx]

thx for confirming

[gusty bear]

suggestion: change the error message to "Login servers currently down" 😄

[bleak current]

yeah, showing denied engages anxiety haha

[tulip hatch]

Im not familiar with the issue youre experiencing, will look around to see but for now support is your best course of action as youve done already

Have you already tried the usual

• cleared cache
• used different browsers/incognito modes
• tried on a mobile device

[sour ether]

how do i download the launcher and how do i get the alpha 2 role?

[gilded sphinx]

link discord on acount

[steep patio]

I also have the question regarding the alpha 2 role, I linked my intrepid account to discord

[warped marten]

hey there !! how do i download the game after purchasing the key ?

[tawny pulsar]

Shouldve got a email detialing how to download and how ot hook up your discord

[queen basin]

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll lolypop?

[sour ether]

literally haven't gotten one

i bought it long while ago

[tawny pulsar]

Then you need someone to link it to you

[queen basin]

You should have the alpha 2 roll if you purchased the package

[charred elm]

Honestly, having paid 500$ just to get the account blocked due to the launcher error is so frustrating. Nice that you guys are doin updates etc and having fun testing, fak the guys that supported the company 3 years ago, right?

[tawny pulsar]

i bought mine two years ago and got a email yesterday

[sour ether]

like

[slow fjord]

Anyone know if the prices on Animal Husbandry will be the same in A2? i heard it is expensive to train pets

[tulip hatch]

did someone remove a question was going to reply but think the comment is gone

[queen basin]

You will probably get an email later from Intrepid. First wave is Nov 8th

[wild tree]

i found a solution! DM me 🙂

[lethal spear]

hey guys, new here, and sorry for jumping in with this. But i just downloaded the launcher and trying to log in, and im getting the permission denied message. am I missing anything?

[keen harbor]

UFC

[flat lava]

did you put in a ticket to them?

[tawny pulsar]

So i look it up, log into your account on their website and you will have a option to connect your discord\

[gilded sphinx]

yea same you got to wait

[spiral pine]

Servers aren't on

[charred elm]

yes, you basicly answered it in the next post, that the people should contact support themself

[charred elm]

like 28h ago

[tawny pulsar]

https://ashesofcreation.com/account/connections

connect your discord through that link\

[abstract flicker]

Any way to get the alpha 2 discord tag linked my discord account 3 times now still nothing purchased the $120 package just curious

[pastel summit]

Yes, I tried all these options. I even tried logging in from a different PC on another internet network and got the problem.
I believe the problem has something to do with 2-step authentication on the account. I believe I didn't make this configuration on my account and the server forces this have it done and just blocks access.

[tawny pulsar]

and here is hte link to download the launcher https://forums.ashesofcreation.com/discussion/61727

[tepid terrace]

How long does it take for roles to update after linking accounts?

[tall drift]

It Keeps Telling me permission denied? is anyone else getting this?

[midnight nebula]

Good question

[tulip hatch]

Understood, hopefully support can resolve your issue

[tawny pulsar]

Servers wont be online till 1pm pacific

[steep patio]

I've linked my account and i havent gotten my role updated for a week now

[tall drift]

gotcha

[midnight nebula]

His bot is down too

[delicate epoch]

I started the download before I went to do other stuff and when I came back the webpage "thank you for using greenshot "was opened and the scrreenshot software "Greenshot" was installed on my pc. Was this part of the install process of ashes of creation?

[pastel summit]

Any idea how long on average support gets in touch to resolve the issue?

[tulip hatch]

Depends on how the bots feeling! but it should not take long
You can disconnect and relink accounts using a different browser/incognito mode and that may work

[pine echo]

Normal to be back to permission denied after testing last night?

[thick berry]

yes

[pine echo]

phew

[tulip hatch]

I am not aware of support queue times

[pine echo]

Longer than 2 days lol. Im still waiting to get my alpha 2 discord role

[pastel summit]

i guess its over for me. F

[abstract flicker]

Yeah I’ve tried that a few times today waited 24hrs tho before trying again so idk

[gusty bear]

it's normal according to some legendary mods

[warped marten]

ok , my discord is linked and everyting seems ok , but no where to download the client or game ... im sure missing something here haha

[pine echo]

Are you in the oct 25th group? If so you should have an email.

[warped marten]

alpha 2 first wave

[wanton haven]

Are the servers up?

[gusty bear]

check your email, spam and ashes front page

[pine echo]

2 hours

[tulip hatch]

another first wave with no ability to download? will try to get a follow up on that situation

[blazing stone]

first wave should not be able to download or has that changed?

[wispy sable]

Any idea how to work around the permission blocked? A2 wave 1 here. cant start up

[gusty bear]

normal atm afaik

[warped marten]

yeah i got one email that saying thx for my purchase thats it haha

🤌 🥲

[wispy sable]

backed in 2019 😦

[dull kayak]

Intrepid figured out how to monetize illiterate gamers and its amazing

[delicate epoch]

anyone else got "greenshot" automatically installed with ashes of creation?

[near stump]

Any update on the redeem key issue on the website? Did the giveaway keys get sent out?

[gusty bear]

"Alpha Two Starts Friday, October 24 at 10AM Pacific" that's the name of the email you're looking for with the launcher information

[tulip hatch]

The last information i had was 1st wave bundles were able to download however there was something bugged and intrepid was investigating
trying to get more information on that

[gusty bear]

same here, but the permission denied issue is normal atm. I played yesterday and today morning and I'm also getting that error. keep calm, i think

[blazing stone]

should they not be starting at 8.11 anymore?

[near stump]

25th?

[near stump]

They are. They can download but not play.

[gusty bear]

no, i'm talking about the email subject i got

[spiral pine]

When servers are off it's going to say permission denied

It's normal

[late jacinth]

is there a place to downloak a2?

[near stump]

Did it say the wrong date?

[gusty bear]

no, the servers were up yesterday

[summer crag]

check your emails or login on the website and go for "get launcher"

[lament violet]

Same issue

[outer sable]

Blocked email. wtf lol

[cyan prairie]

same issue here except my pack is from 2018

[near stump]

Ya but the email was talking about the alpha today, not the test yesterday. So the subject had the wrong date. The test yesterday was also at 11am pacific which confirms this.

[jagged harbor]

im a first wave key holder with no emails sent to so far

[gusty bear]

i'm confused as to what you're talking about. i was replying to someone who couldn't find the email with the launcher, therefore I shared the email subject I got to download the launcher, that's all my guy

[near stump]

I was just saying the subject line has the wrong date. Friday October 24th doesn’t exist. It’s the 25th

[short flint]

a 2nd email was also sent out shortly after with the corrected date too - not sure if you saw that in your box

[naive condor]

they sent me both a Friday the 24th and a Friday the 25th email

[gusty bear]

gotcha. it's wrong then, should've said "thursday 24th" you're right, their mistake

[cyan prairie]

can you share the launcher ? i have an alpha 2 pack

[warped marten]

sadly i dont have any email that is talking about a luncher

...

😦

[short flint]

that would be against TOS unfortunately.

[cyan prairie]

boo

[summer crag]

try to login on the website, if you have the alpha 2 access check the upper right corner

[naive condor]

it wouldn't do anything for you anyway lmao - your account needs access

[gusty bear]

https://ashesofcreation.com/ I think this is your best bet because the launcher has been updated 3+ times since yesterday

[near stump]

If you’re talking about the stress test email, it was titled “Early Alpha Two Stress Test - Thurs, October 24, 2024”

[warped marten]

like i have the email that thanks me , a reciepe

[summer crag]

https://i.imgur.com/ZLI0iNZ.png like there

[naive condor]

no there was also an erroneous Friday the 24th email (meant for today)

[jagged harbor]

it doesn't say " Get Launcher " for me it says " Join the Alpha "

[gusty bear]

no, they sent two different emails, one wrong and then the corrected version. either way, you're right bro, i give up ❤️

[tepid terrace]

Check your account inventory

[summer crag]

and youre loged in on your account? friend of mine cant login on the website for some reason

[jagged harbor]

logged in

[naive condor]

Alpha two first wave is Nov 8th not today

[crystal beacon]

wave pack starts on the 8.11 not today

[summer crag]

you dont own the big bundle

[toxic viper]

thats correct but we're being told we should be able to download the launcher

[tepid terrace]

It would just say "alpha 2" if you had access today, first wave is Nov like the rest said

[summer crag]

alpha 2 starts for the people that bought the 250+ bundles

[jagged harbor]

oh

[tepid terrace]

The launcher is having issues for everyone right now, servers are down

[crystal beacon]

it is also said there seem to be a bug and they're aware of it

[frosty terrace]

steven said patcher back up soon

[hallow apex]

lol right when i go to login the admin says patcher will be back up soon 😭

[tepid terrace]

ALERT

I just got in!

[midnight nebula]

Download servers back online

[tepid terrace]

No permission denied, it's tarting download

[warped marten]

hooooo... so if i bought the alpha 2 first wave on the web site like last week , 120$ , its normal i dont have the option to download the clients ?

[teal zephyr]

do we know what classes will be available in alpha 2? i dont have it, just curious

[midnight nebula]

Download servers back online

[naive condor]

yes - you'll get an email closer to the 8th with information

[hallow apex]

me too

[warped marten]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

[rocky scroll]

we in gang

[warped marten]

TAAADDAAAAA

[frosty terrace]

❤️

[warped marten]

ok so , its all normal no panic

[gusty bear]

you made me wet.

[minor pine]

Alpha Two access atm is only the special access right? not wave 1 access

[tame badger]

no avaliabe realms code 23

[tepid terrace]

these servers be fast, love a good pipe

[iron flare]

hello, a questions, content creator will not have the possibility to play the alpha?

[tulip hatch]

Visual is still under NDA until the servers open

[shy flare]

Where can I watch the official livestream?

[warped marten]

https://tenor.com/view/ohh-i-get-it-jack-donaghy-30rock-i-understand-gif-21961614

[midnight nebula]

I've recomend not to post it here

[desert juniper]

How do I get the alpha 2 role

[rocky scroll]

same

[minor pine]

it's not open for Wave 1 yet right?

[warped marten]

from what i understand no

[naive condor]

correct, wave 1 is nov 8th

[gusty bear]

https://ashesofcreation.com/account/connections and pray

[tulip hatch]

Wave one will not be able to get the launcher at this time correct

[minor pine]

gotcha

[lament dragon]

alpha 2 is currently only available for those who bought the preorder packages not people who bought the keys after packages have closed

[sonic yew]

update

[warped marten]

we will get the email later ...

[fallow vigil]

there's any plan for AOC to become less tabtarget and more action or nah?

[iron flare]

@tulip hatch hello, a questions, content creator will not have the possibility to play the alpha?

[desert juniper]

Damn so we are cooked

🥶

[wide spruce]

login into the AOC website and link discord

[summer crag]

just buy the access 😇

[summer crag]

like everyone else does 🙂

[tulip hatch]

Content creators can play alpha if they already have bought or won testing access

[gusty bear]

correct 😄

[sonic yew]

took 3 seconds actually

[iron flare]

usually content creators get to have the key, every other game do that

[chrome helm]

would honestly prefer not seeing alpha channel if i'm not in it

[tame badger]

no available realms code 23?

[iron flare]

a bit of a pity this one doesn't care about it

[desert juniper]

I don’t got my login on my phone so it’s over

[tulip hatch]

When did the error occur

[granite merlin]

Are Nov 8th folks able to download launcher yet?

[spiral pine]

Realms aren't live yet

[tame badger]

when logging in

[tulip hatch]

yeah no realms open yet

[summer crag]

well this game got plenty content creators that will be playing. not to be mean but, if youd be well known i guess youd have gotten a key 🤟

[nocturne stratus]

content creators arent entitled to anything many others have bought access themselves

[teal zephyr]

im so curious how rogue is going to work in this game

[iron flare]

who do you think bring the players to the game?

[fallen wing]

not you

[lament dragon]

content creators who filled out the applications for affiliate rights when they offered it would have gotten access to it to stream starting in alpha 2 but you had to have filled out the paperwork and gotten chosen

[steep patio]

I'm still not getting the Alpha-2 roles even if I disconnect and reconnect my intrepid account??

[iron flare]

we are not talking about me, we are talking about the entire category

[outer tendon]

Every other content creator 🤣

[summer crag]

honey, if youre that big of a content creator, you should easy be able to afford the game and not ask for a free key

[shy flare]

I had all the guild and other channels before but now I don't, how do I get them back? Trying to find people to play with

[tulip hatch]

Official Content Creators do get such perks with the Content Creator program but that hasnt launches yet.

[short flint]

Are you an Alpha 2 key holder or Alpha 2 Wave Key bundle holder?

[fallen wing]

we are talking about you since youre asking for a key.

[lament dragon]

@steep patio you wont get roles if you aren't eligible for the current testing phase

[steep patio]

Ahhh so it waits until first wave closer to nov?

[outer tendon]

I have one. It’s the other guy lol

[tulip hatch]

Now please take all extra comments and discussion to the #general-discussion section
If you can not see that channel go to #read-me-first and select a language

Leave this channel for questions and answers only

[fallen wing]

i know the reply thing is glitching

[dense pilot]

of the US servers do we know what regions they are in to possibly best pick the one with the least latency?

[short flint]

If you are an "Alpha two First Wave" key holder, then yes.

[short flint]

All are US -Central currently.

[iron flare]

there is no need to be rude cause you are envious, i just asked for a normal thing, like i did for Throne and any other MMO test or launch, i guess the community here is not so friendly

[nocturne stratus]

all NA are central

[clever orbit]

You guys think the key pack is worth 120?

[iron flare]

thanks for the info

[tulip hatch]

Move chit chat to the correct channels please and thank you friends c:

[amber swallow]

When is the last day we can buy the alpha 2 key

[spiral pine]

You need to apply to the content creator program to get those benefits

[naive condor]

you'll have a week to watch before it'd go active anyway~ just watch some streamers today and make that decision

[short flint]

That is subjective. It depends if you enjoy and desire to test a game that is incomplete and has bugs. For me, my purchase was worth it, but that is my opinion and should not influence yours.

[sterile root]

can you download the game yet or only when servers are up

[sour falcon]

So many channels has opened, does that mean I can test 2? alpha 2 category

[frosty terrace]

Do you want to test a game that is in Alpha with lots of bugs and missing features? if not, no it's not. But if you you do, then YES. xD

[tulip hatch]

Bot is struggling a bit today so will be a lil slow

[naive condor]

no, they've made the alpha 2 channels open to all discord users

[sour falcon]

Understood

[short flint]

You should be able to start download and updates now since you are an Alpha two key holders. Log into the website, and you'll get "GET LAUNCHER" at the top.

[tulip hatch]

Everyone can see the Alpha 2 section but only those with testing access can type in them

[polar lodge]

How do I get my alpha 2 role to post?

[amber swallow]

When is the last day to buy alpha 2 access

[short flint]

Does this require a "language" selection to be selected from #read-me-first (Step #2)?

[west meteor]

How do I fix

[fervent ridge]

hello, how can i heal as a mage or an ranger?

[waxen vector]

guys a question . is this normal at the present phase?

[frosty terrace]

Check that your graphics card supports dx12, and if it does, download it and install it.

[west meteor]

Food items - mainly Rations which are found at some vendors

[dense pilot]

I've been through this step and do not have the role yet either but I'm guessing it's because I'm a phase 1 purchaser and will not receive said role until Nov 8th

[west meteor]

That’s correct

[fervent ridge]

thx

[polar lodge]

Thank you!

[summer crag]

two of our guildmates are having the exact same issue. so far there seems to be no solution for it. i guess youre also not able to login on the ashes website? does it just keep sending you back to the main page?

[lone rose]

anyone else getting no realm codes?

[short flint]

Realms aren't up guys.

[waxen vector]

i am able to login tot he website with my account

[lone rose]

okay

[brave crater]

Where can I download the launcher? I cant see the download anywhere

[odd carbon]

what do i need to do to unlock the alpha two chat channels on here

[polar lodge]

Now, I have gotten emails about alpha 2 but my vpn and anti-virus scan them as malicious. Worried they were phishing emails

[light parcel]

So support reached out to me and said a key isn't need to play to just download and its fine but I can't log in to download the Alpha 2? It says to try again later? So I have to wait till 3pm to download correct or should I contact support again?

[lament dragon]

alpha goes live in 90 minutes

[woven breach]

Ranger is good for soloing. At level 7 I was able to take on 3 level 6/7 mobs at once. The big thing that messes rangers up right now is mana. You really need to manage your abilities properly.

[short flint]

log into the website, top right should say "GET LAUNCHER" if it doesn't, you either A) don't have access for today's launch or B) you do and you need to open a support ticket.

[odd carbon]

nvm found it

[fast pawn]

How do I merge?

[brave crater]

Yea guess I gotta open a ticket then

[frosty terrace]

first wave is nov 8

[lament dragon]

@brave crateryou do not have access till nov8

[short flint]

No, you do not have access to today's launch. You have a First Wave bundle package. that starts nov 8th. Check the shop link below for details of what you purchased

[gaunt garnet]

how do i download the launcher???

[tulip hatch]

Hi again! Can you check if the time on your PC is correct and matched up with NTP server https://time.is/ can use this to check for accurate synchronization

[floral prism]

Thank you, any news on ETA or where I am supposed to look to track the status?

[short flint]

log into the website, top right should say "GET LAUNCHER" if it doesn't, you either A) don't have access for today's launch or B) you do and you need to open a support ticket.

[golden radish]

I got an error trying to run the launcher after it updated. Just a white box that says "Launcher already running, but unable to switch to it". Anyone else get this problem

[gleaming breach]

Does anyone know if there will me any character wipes during Alpha and Beta

[short flint]

Try looking for it in Task Manager and ending it

[lament dragon]

@golden radish open task manager and end the launcher task its just a hanging process

[vast badger]

got the launcher?

[lament violet]

@tulip hatch so, when i try to login to the website it sends me back to the mainpage and wont let me login. i bought the 250€ bundle. is there a way to fix this? i've tried to login with different browsers, restarted my computer, deleted the cache, and even reinstalled two of the browsers. so i basically can't login on the mainpage or on the launcher. if i try to login through the launcher i get the following error:

[short flint]

"Alpha Two First Wave" key holders do not start today, they start on Nov 8th. so you won't have access to the launcher yet.

[frosty terrace]

Keep an eye on #news for any updates in that regard

[outer sable]

Had that issue yesterday, had to use diff browser

[gaunt garnet]

its says oct 25th wave 1 last time i read it i thought but okay,

[pastel summit]

That’s the same issue I have @waxen vector . I’ve been waiting on support with a fix. If you find something out let me know.

[short flint]

Take a look at the Shop item in the shop, or you can look at the link below to what the bundle included/includes.

[jagged harbor]

if there's a wave of players who get to play before the " First wave " people, then why is it called " first wave "

[west meteor]

First wave of the new bundles

[jagged harbor]

shouldn't the nov 8 bundle be the one called 2nd wave ?

[gaunt garnet]

prolly kickstarter backers

[tulip hatch]

Im not aware of a workaround for this at this time
Ill make a note for Intrepid and see if i can get any more information
Can you also check if youre able to log into the site via a mobile device?

[twin holly]

cos its the first wave of people getting in with the new bundle

[pastel summit]

That’s the same issue I have @summer crag . I’ve been waiting on support with a fix. If you find something out let me know.

[light parcel]

So nervous about 3pm and support being right. The message seemed like such an automated response and I really don't want to have to write them again. I know their busy but damn.

[tame badger]

Realms still down?

[odd carbon]

what brwoser did u use bc firefox AND edge dont work for me

[twin holly]

realms are not up, correct. still 80 minutes to go

[short flint]

Try not to open multiple ticket sfor the same issue. If you got an email thread, stick to it directly. Opening multiple tickets for the same issue will just slow everything down. Not saying you ARE doing this, just a pre-emptive warning 🙂

[lament dragon]

@odd carbontry chrome both those browsers suck!

[short pier]

no available realm, code 23. anyone else got this?

[quick crow]

YES

SERVER DOWN

[gleaming breach]

sorry for the repete question, but will there be character wipes during Alpha and Beta

[frosty terrace]

Realms are not up yet.

[short flint]

Everyone is. The realms are down.

[short pier]

thanks x

[polar cedar]

I’m assuming tickets are taking some time to respond?

[lament dragon]

@short pieralpha starts at 1pst

[short flint]

Yes, the team is swamped with tickets right now.

[quick crow]

@gleaming breach Yes

[nocturne stratus]

check the https://discord.com/channels/256164085366915072/270797463907074048 channel for time

[polar cedar]

Well as long as I get my refund I’m good

[light parcel]

@short flint I did reply to them. Just confirming I can play because my account doesn't say I have alpha 2 access anywere. Discord or the website. We shall see what they say back.

[short flint]

If you submitted your request within the refund policy time frame and meet the criteria, i don't see why you wouldn't.

[lament dragon]

@polar cedarya they are swamped with people who can't read making tickets to learn that they dont have access yet because they bought a key not a bundle! lol

[crystal beacon]

I bought a pack long time ago with alpha 2 entry, but they never send me any email how and where to enter

[gleaming breach]

Thanks

[tame badger]

ty it shows 4pm cst

[frosty terrace]

double check email, and log in on the website, you'll see links to follow

[short flint]

All key purchases through the shop are automatically assigned to your account, you do not have to redeem it. log into your account and click on ACCOUNT INVENTORY and see what you have there.

[cyan prairie]

how long ago did you buy it?

[lament violet]

didnt work on mobile 😩

[tame badger]

well since there is still 2h19m to wait i can head over to a few church`s and sell some bulletproof curtains.

[cyan slate]

1 hour

[gleaming breach]

TO akk thatm are answering questions;;;;;;;;;;;; A HUGE THANKS

[tulip hatch]

Okay thank you for trying

[craggy valley]

Do we uninstall the old installer and load this new one?

[short flint]

Launch your current installer, it'll patch.

[crystal beacon]

I bought it back when it was to be published by my.com or however that shit was called

[long breach]

my launcher is running but invisible?

[lament dragon]

@craggy valley when you open the launcher it should update

[cyan prairie]

Mine was back in 2018 and they did a migration in 2019 which I'm assuming caused some of the packs not to be applied correctly and so I made a support ticket. if your case is ismilar that might not be a bad idea.

[twin holly]

does that sometimes , just task manager and kill it

[short flint]

Oh man, That was forever ago. I have no idea how to help with that. Did you check your ACCOUNT INVENTORY to see if you have an ALPHA 2 key listed there?

[long breach]

it does that every single time tho :)

[crystal beacon]

What is the site for it?

[cyan prairie]

he has the same issue that i have i think @short flint

[short flint]

Reboot? Uninstall and reinstall?

[cyan slate]

just delete it and reinstall it

[fast pawn]

Are servers still down?

[lament dragon]

@long breachdo you have it set to open minimized to the tray?

#news

[long breach]

aye tried it all, i'll wait for a better patch i guess

[odd carbon]

that worked thanks

[short flint]

Uninstall - reboot your machine. Fresh download from the page - same issue? do you see it in your task bar at the bottom but it never pops up?

[bitter trench]

ive been playing the game for about 2 hours today, the one problem which has really annoyed me the most. (ive looked round for about 30 mins looking for tools to chop & gather) anyone give me a clue, i guess i have to pick up a quest ? but where ?

[light parcel]

my inventory does show a Voyager pre-order pack so maybe that is enough to get me in. At least thats the hope. Only an hour and 15 minutes and I will find out.

[twin holly]

the beginner tools are given to you in the first little town when you run down the hill and are auto equipped as you get them, from the sweat of the brow questline

[winter prawn]

Can we get some kind of official NDA countdown, a lot of content creators I am watching are confused about the exact timing for when the NDA gets lifted

[light parcel]

Just want to download and play been waiting for six year

[lament dragon]

@bitter trench look for a book icon on the map near the crafting area

[short flint]

I'm not sure what your question is. I'm assuming its problems with gathering. If you do the "Sweat of a brow" quest, it walks you throuh basica gathering and gives you tools to do it, plus a free mount.

[long breach]

yes best case i get an error msg

[warm solstice]

anyone know how one can get the alpha 2 role on discord?

[west meteor]

#read-me-first part 3

[short flint]

the NDA is NOT being lifted. All NDA's are still in effect and will remain in effect! The Official A2 testing servers will NOT be under an NDA, so it can be streamed freely. Once again, ALL CONTACT PREVIOUSLY under NDA is still under NDA. This might seem "silly" to split hairs on this, but these are contractual agreements people agreed to, and understanding this clearly is important to adide by your contracts.

[twin holly]

cant use any old content but any footage recorded once A2 is live is not nda

[light parcel]

@warm solstice Connect your account (discord) to your ashes account

[lament dragon]

@warm solsticelink your AOC account and if you have access to the current Phase you will get access

[remote ore]

.

[warm solstice]

ah found it, thanks!

[steady ermine]

Just checking, the Wayfarer Alpha 2 Addon is listed under "Monthly Addons" is it like a subscription, or is is just a permenant access upgrade?

[analog notch]

it's really not that hard, the NDA is lifted when the A2 servers come online

[twin holly]

permanent , just worded weirdly

[bitter trench]

thanks, i havnt pick up the quest, "Sweat of the brow " ive been searching everywhere. must have ran straight passed

[remote ore]

Saw alpha two channels but I don't have role?

[light parcel]

@warm solstice my account is bugged so I still dont have access to alpha 2 stuff on discord haha. If it doesnt work some have had success trying on another browser

[twin holly]

its southwest of the commisions board once you run down that first hill

[feral crystal]

patchnotes said NDA removed.

If you now download for the first time, you never sign a NDA

[tulip hatch]

For the folks having Cloud Services error are you all also not able to sign into the website?

If you are able to sign into the website please make sure you have the current launcher installed

[west meteor]

It’s read only for everyone and talkable when you have the A2 role

[bitter trench]

thankyou 🙂

[short flint]

Not 100% accurate. NDA is not being lifted. The new testing phase will not have NDA attached ot it.

[rotund hearth]

Anyone else getting Realms not available Code 23?

[twin holly]

Realms arent up yet

[tulip hatch]

Realms are not open Realms are also known as Servers

[short flint]

"NDA removed" means that, in the launcher, they removed the NDA from showing up for agreement. that was a technical patch note, not a legal patch note 😉 Sorry, this wasn't mean to come across as correcting you. I was just tryin to add to it.

[sharp tree]

Why does Epic Web Helper need wi-fi and location information ? I dont share that information with apps in Windows ( it's turned off ). Is that going to be an issue ?

[feral crystal]

Are you bound to a NDA if you never agree?

so.. You can't break a NDA you didn't agree to

[west meteor]

Your account can be actioned if you share NDA’d information even if you never signed it

[short flint]

Correct, you must agree to an NDA. If you do not agree to an NDA and you access it, you are breaking other terms and are accountable for those actions. No "workarounds" for that.

[frosty terrace]

To play the spot testing you would have had to sign one. That content remains under NDA.

[mossy pollen]

In some announcement for the "official" Alpha 2, that there would be no NDA.

[short flint]

Correct, Official A2 launch contains no NDA.

[feral crystal]

I know I agreed to it, I'm speaking of people who download for the first time now

[karmic snow]

But people only downloading now couldn't have accessed the NDA'd content any way, so it is a moot point.

[frosty terrace]

^

[modern geode]

The best part in things like this, is the activity on Discord until servers come up. The contrast is just something you don't get that often in life.

[feral crystal]

Question is if people can stream the character creator now

[surreal cove]

I saw people running around with purple names and fancy armor at low levels in the prelaunch. What provides those?

[short flint]

Only moot to those who access it now, tens of thousands of people are under NDA, so not moot for them.

[warped marten]

This is what’s on the web site

[short flint]

No, they cannot.

[short flint]

Nice find - just people need to know the test that this snippet applies to has not started yet.

[feral crystal]

because they would break a NDA they did not sign? That was my point.
But doesn't matter, idk really

[exotic prism]

Any Wave 1s able to download the launcher yet, or it still bugged?

[feral crystal]

I'm not streaming anyways

[regal belfry]

check in your desktop tray and click on it in there

[karmic snow]

What torquan was talking about was people who are downloading the game for the first time right now. Hence, never signed an NDA, and never had access to the stuff covered by said NDA. Thus, moot point.

[modern geode]

Kaelar vs Empyrean though.

[warped marten]

That’s true tho

[short flint]

I would be interested in how they got in with the servers being down 😉

[feral crystal]

click the squirrel

[dense pilot]

I believe Wave 1s will get in Nov 8th, not today

[short flint]

Exploiting a bug - yikes.

[twin holly]

Remember people this is a questions channel not a discussion so if ya question / answer / question goes further should move it to general

[feral crystal]

acknowledged by steven, he said it won't be sanctioned

[naive condor]

the launcher was covered by said NDA, so they technically do have access to stuff.. earlier Alluring said not to post screenshots in here until the test begins, so I'd lean towards not showing anything A2 related until the servers come online

[exotic prism]

Yes, I know--but we were supposed to be able to get the launcher, that's why I specifically asked about that

[keen iris]

It seems to be put intentionally @short flint

[short flint]

Oh nice, can you link me that so I can help pass that on?

[west meteor]

1. It’s really fun to see gameplay questions starting to show up in #questions

2. Purple nameplate means that player is a Combatant, which means they forced combat on someone by toggling forced combat using alt+f and casting an ability or basic attacking another player

Gear comes from crafting or mob drops - you probably saw some characters who were from previous tests and were already geared out

[surreal cove]

Thanks

[short flint]

Many thanks 🙂

[west meteor]

I make one troll comment in 3 weeks and Steven responds with that quote immediately lol

[dense pilot]

"If you are a Wave Bundle owner, please return on the corresponding date that your access begins in order to see the download option." from https://ashesofcreation.com/news/preparing-for-alpha-two we won't see it until Nov 8th

[short flint]

Haven't had time to keep up with all the channels, so I miss some of their posts.

[west meteor]

I told everyone the squirrel was an exploit

|| it’s not I was joking ||

[short flint]

You were right, steven admitted it, but is saying people are okay to do it 🙂

[exotic prism]

@dense pilot see here

[naive condor]

yeah there's a difference between malicious exploiting and something fun you find, good to check though

[exotic prism]

Not sure how that reconciles with what that article says though

[short flint]

Which article?

[exotic prism]

The one Bertlor just sent

[naive condor]

https://ashesofcreation.com/news/preparing-for-alpha-two

[exotic prism]

That

[dense pilot]

Thanks for that link, I didn't see their message but it seems like their message and the website are conflicting... behavior-wise I'm going to lean on we won't see it until Nov 8th

[light parcel]

So legit question... if I get access to the game but I don't have access to chat in the alpha 2 discord servers is their somewhere in the game to put in tickets

[naive condor]

!cs

[potent thunder]

Include more keywords after this command to search for answers to some of our FAQ (ex. !cs password reset), or open a Customer Support ticket directly here if you are having account or technical issues: https://support.ashesofcreation.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[short flint]

looks like Okay helped you locate the necessary information

[exotic prism]

Yea, guess so

[analog notch]

did you link your ashes account to your discord account? Have you checked on Browse channels to make sure they aren't just hidden?

[exotic prism]

I'm just confused as to if that article is correct or the mod messages and discussion that happened here yesterday as to if we should have the launcher or not are

[slender eagle]

The game is down for another hour right?

[light parcel]

@analog notch yeah my account is bugged. Support wrote me and said that if Voyager bundle is in my inventory I will have access as that is the "Key" So to speak. So I should have access but they didn't fix my ashes account. It still doesn't even show download alpha

[frosty terrace]

correct

[light parcel]

though support sent me a link to download it

[slender eagle]

Thanks, you rock! 👌

[crystal beacon]

I logged in into my account now and have some stuff in my inventory yes

[keen grotto]

The current download on launcher is for regular alpha 2 correct and not spot test?

[gusty bear]

Can we all agree this first weekend of A2 should last until Sunday, 10 PM, November 3rd?

[cunning jasper]

Hopefully, lol.

[short flint]

Alpha 2 First Wave key holders have never been allowed access to the launcher nor has it been planned to. If you had Mod Messages stating it, that would be nice to be linked. But since the inception of the Wave keys, there was going to be a delay for Wave keys.

[exotic prism]

I literally did just link it

[frosty terrace]

Only if we all get off work until then too.

[analog notch]

If by get access to the game you meant buying the game but you can't actually get the launcher then yeah bugged, good luck with support

[gusty bear]

Wait you need to get off work to play? Sheeeeeeesh

[tulip hatch]

This has been changed - Wave bundles will not be able to get the launcher at this time

[short flint]

Apologies if I missed it, managing a lot right now, i'll scroll to check.

Looks like @tulip hatch came in with a correction at least

[west meteor]

Current plan is A2 servers are up Friday - Sunday and then the A2 PTR servers are up for some length of time during the week and will be available to A1 players

[exotic prism]

Thank you! Appreciate it.

[crystal beacon]

I see this and some exp stuff, strange

[tulip hatch]

appreciate you all as well! thanks for helping out

[jovial juniper]

When I click launch I get an error saying I need DX12 I deff have dx12. Is this just because the game isn’t live yet? I know launch is in about an hour but wanted to make sure I was good to go.

[west meteor]

That’s from Apocalypse!

[short flint]

You don't see anything that says "Alpha 2" or similar? If not, you would need to open a support ticket here: https://support.ashesofcreation.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[short flint]

He mentioned he bought a key through the my.com days.

[crystal beacon]

ok thanks, will do then, I did once already and they told me to wait, I think that was years ago

[short flint]

I'm not totally familiar with that process.

[west meteor]

Ah I missed the prior - yea CS has to verify my.com keys

[short flint]

Try to find that, and maybe attach it to the new one.

[frosty terrace]

I had issues with directx, I downloaded and installed it fresh and now it works

[wispy sable]

Still Code 23?

[frosty terrace]

Yes, servers wont' be up for another hour

[short flint]

I'd not try launching into any servers until Intrepid says they are up.

[wispy sable]

Sounds good

[jovial juniper]

@frosty terrace you mean the launcher or dx12?

[frosty terrace]

I mean directx software

[tawdry light]

alpha means there wont be any player gameplay streams? 🥸

[keen grotto]

livestream pushed back an hour

[crude blaze]

what is Status= WC-On-Hold

[nova cloak]

Is the date on this graphic just wrong and I can play today? Or is this alpha 2 testing for a different group of people?

I’m sure there’s a million different questions going around so apologies if this has already been asked.

[keen grotto]

you can stream alpha 2 i believe

[frosty terrace]

first wave has access nov 8th

[naive condor]

today is the founder pack start date (pre wave system) wave 1 is november 8th

[short flint]

FYI - this is under NDA still, i'd recommend a delete of this. If you are trying to "login" just now the servers are down still. watch #news or #alpha-two-news for updates.

[lone frost]

What do I need to do to verify that I have bought Alpha 2 to obtain the role in discord ?

[faint compass]

Yep, youre right completely forgot launcher still counts🤦‍♂️

[naive condor]

connect your ashes account to your discord account on the ashes website

[west meteor]

Go to #read-me-first and do step 3

[frosty terrace]

#read-me-first

[short flint]

This is a good graphic someone grabbed earlier:

[nova cloak]

Got it! Thank y’all! And is it just sporatic times or is it playable on a consistent basis?

[naive condor]

sporatic - with more consistency later

[twin holly]

weekends for phase 1 , 5 days a week Phase 2

[keen grotto]

I connected my account to discord, and i know this has been asked a ton, but is there anything else i need to do to get the a2 tag?

[west meteor]

Phase 1 is Friday - Sunday
Phase 2 is 5 days a week
Phase 3 is 24/7

[nova cloak]

Understood!!

[twin holly]

unlink and relink in incognito

[naive condor]

which alpha 2 access do you have in your ashes inventory?

[short flint]

To follow-up here. Alpha Two [X] Wave key holders do not have any Alpha 2 roles yet for the discord. So nothing will be added to your profile yet.

[keen grotto]

alpha 2, i got the 250 one from before

[naive condor]

ahh yea, then try the incognito trick - it can be finnicky

[short flint]

If the incognito trick doesn't work, some others had luck with logging out of their discord apps (Phone, Browser and/or Desktop app, then using incognito mode to disconnect/reconnect).

[lucid sail]

why am I not allowed to post bug issues in alpha two bug issues?

[short flint]

but incognito trick is the magic button for most.

[naive condor]

I wonder if you need to be accepting messages from strangers on discord or w/e that setting is, since the discord bot messages you when you link

[short flint]

because you don't have the role on your discord profile. Follow #read-me-first to get access.

[keen grotto]

nice ty

[pearl ivy]

Does anyone know if they fixed the bug that you have to make a new characters to enter the realm or else wait in a non existant queue with an existing character? Yesterday I kept getting booted when i went afk and then had to make new characters just to play.

[short flint]

Interesting - I didn't get a message by the BOT. It does not love me 😦

[frosty terrace]

I also did not recieve a message from the bot so I don't think that's an issue.

[short flint]

From patch notes - it sounds like they made some changes to the environment to help combat this:
Fixed an error which was preventing players from leaving the queue and joining another realm
Fixed an error which was causing the queue to increment when players left it

[eager rover]

Waiting 8th November

[pearl ivy]

u the man dood thanks!

[eager rover]

Anyone playing? Is fun?!

[frosty terrace]

Not yet, servers will be up in 45

[short flint]

Not right now- servers are down for maintenance 😦 #news

[eager rover]

😭

[surreal cove]

spent 20 minutes looking for the town hall in the spawn area before realising it doesnt exist because it's not a node

[eager rover]

Jealous

[pearl ivy]

Also, does anyone know if it is possible to just run to another node at level 1? or do we need to level up in lionhold and do mount quest type stuff first?

[lone pier]

i just connected my discord account, what now?

[pearl ivy]

id hate to run to a fresh node at level 1 and all the monsters are level 5 or something

[frosty terrace]

your tags are showing TrevyChase

[analog notch]

from now on you shall be called a wavie and people already playing can laugh at you

[lone pier]

nice

[short flint]

it is "possible" but welcome to getting one shot by random elites or killer mobs that are 7 levels higher than you 😉 Also, might be hard to get XP because mobs are normally higher level.

[pearl ivy]

exactly what i wanted to know, thanks

[waxen vector]

may i ask if the names we give to the characters will be kept or deleted after this weekend since it s alpha ?

[short flint]

I'd recommend, if you wantd this, get the horse mount quest done, grind a few levels and then make the run. Levels are huge power level increases early.

[pearl ivy]

nod

[lone pier]

do i have to redownload launcher or just update my original one?

[pearl ivy]

like level 3 or 4?

[frosty terrace]

just update

[short flint]

There is no PLAN to wipe after this weekend. doesn't mean one won't happen.

[near stump]

depends on the launcher you have. A1 launcher is no good. One from yesterday just needs update

[short flint]

yea, i'd say 3-5 before you decide to get gutsy and run 🙂 Don't forget to attune to a respawn point when you get to your destination so you don't get yeeted back to the portal 🙂

[hollow sedge]

I’m an alpha two key holder but can’t chat in the chat ?

[frosty terrace]

^that's actually an important distinction.

[lone pier]

ok cool, mines from yesterday im all good over here boys

[short flint]

you don't have the role:

[thick matrix]

Howdy Folks!

[ebon spire]

Is the Tulnar race in A2?

[short flint]

follow #read-me-first to get the fole

[hollow sedge]

How do I achieve it I spent the 120

[short flint]

Phase 3

[lone pier]

not phase 1

[ebon spire]

ok ty

[short flint]

The $120 package does not grant the "Alpha Two" role at this time.

[dense pilot]

What if any restrictions are there when selecting the 2nd archetype? IE; primary Bard secondary Cleric... does the Bard gain some Cleric abilities but cannot go as deep into skills as a primary Cleric could? This mechanic gives me good vibes from TQ back in the day and very excited to mix and match classes

[analog notch]

you'll get an email a day or two before November 8

[short flint]

Secondary Archetypes aren't in the testing phases yet, they will start coming online in Phase 3. The only restriction is being level 25

[naive condor]

Wave 1 is November 8th, today is the founder packs date (from before waves were an option)

[tame badger]

i seen with the cleric class there is not a mana skill just a stamna

[rocky scroll]

how long is this phase of the alpha going to be up?

[short flint]

Clerics consume mana. all classes do.

[analog notch]

2months

[proud eagle]

every weekend

[crystal beacon]

I sent a ticket now, I hope I can get my voyager pack to the ashes account, thanks for your help guys 🙂

[waxen vector]

ty for the reply !

[rocky scroll]

ok so only weekends

[short flint]

Depends which phase. This is when the phases are slated to release currently (subject to change)

[vast badger]

can someone type out the names of the classes currently in the game?

[tame badger]

i mean there is no a regenerative skill for mana. unless you sit or in town

[karmic snow]

Fighter, Ranger, Tank, Mage, Cleric, Bard.

[short flint]

Bard, Cleric, Fighter, Mage, Ranger, Tank - these are the 6 archetypes currently available for testing. Rogue and summoner will be coming online sometime during Phase 2. then Secondary archetype selections come online sometime during Phase 3.

[gusty crater]

How do I get the launcher?

[short flint]

If you are an A2 key holder, just log into the website and click "GET LAUNCHER" at the top right. If you bought one of the $100 wave key packs, you do not have access to it yet.

[naive condor]

if you have A2 access, check your email, if you bought wave 1,2 or 3 you'll get it closer to your start date (wave 1 starts nov 8th)

[gusty crater]

I bought the $120 one... is that no good?

[strange yew]

Nov 8

[gusty crater]

Okay thanks y'all

[frosty terrace]

It's good, it's just not time yet. xD

[solid stag]

Nov8

[short flint]

That is good for Nov 8th release. They have not allowed the people who bought that package access to the launcher yet. I would expect it before and closer to your Nov 8th start date.

[toxic cradle]

I wanna get to that point in life where I spend $120 and have no clue what it was on lol

[gusty crater]

I'll trade someone my date on Nov 8th for today's...

[summer lynx]

Did the visual NDA already get lifted?

[timber siren]

no

[slender basalt]

i spent 375usd

[crystal beacon]

I spent 250 back then, but I knew exactly for what, for a hopefully good future game

[slender basalt]

im guessing the realms arent out yet?

[short flint]

Just continue to strive to be the best version of yourself every day. You'll get there.

[opal wind]

No available realms?

[thick matrix]

same here $375

[naive condor]

when the servers come online and the test starts it'll be

[keen grotto]

250$ for hope

thats enough fo rme

[dark locust]

Me too I think

[short flint]

Nope, not yet. Keep an eye out here #news and #alpha-two-news here

[opal wind]

I don't remember what I spent but it was over 300$ back in 2017-2020

[gusty crater]

I knew what it was on, but the dates don't show up on the website now and I saw streamers downloading it so I assumed the date changed... Not my problem the dev removed the dates from the site

[ancient flame]

I'm trying to launch and it is saying Easy Anti-Cheat isn't installed, how best to resolve this issue?

[timber siren]

Theyre expected to be up in 1.5 hours ish

[short flint]

They are still there. Check the information below

[spiral pine]

Reinstall the launcher

[potent thunder]

Get access to Alpha Two from the shop. The Alpha Two Wave bundles in the shop grant access to Alpha Two starting on different dates, after this testing phase has begun.

Find out more here: https://ashesofcreation.com/news/2024-08-20-alpha-two-wave-bundles

[keen grotto]

thought game was up in 40 mins? stream is 1.5 hours

[inner oyster]

37min

[crystal beacon]

its on the site

[opal wind]

Thanks, thought it was 10 AM PST but must of missed a deferral announcement.

[frosty terrace]

I don't think any of us were trying to give you a hard time. Hope to see you on nov 8.

[short flint]

Yep, you can find it #news and #alpha-two-news. It looks like you didn't follow the instructions #read-me-first to gain access to the channels.

[naive condor]

ye #news

[timber siren]

typical launch 🤣

[inner oyster]

servers are up in 37min. livestream is in 1h37min

[thick matrix]

yeppers

[keen grotto]

i mean, its expected

[timber siren]

absolutly

[spring quest]

So once the alpha opens today, will my character be wiped moving forward (I understand they will wipe if absolutely necessary) just didn’t know if it would wipe after every weekend play

It is not planned to wipe every weekend. The only planned wipe is at the end of Phase 1, to start fresh on Phase 2.

I'm betting we take everything down twice today after it goes live

[naive condor]

yes, with wipes becoming less common as the test goes on

[spring quest]

Got it. Thanks guys

[keen grotto]

I figure they will wipe before the Nov 8th Gen Ad people get in

[spring quest]

Guess this is the time to try out all the classes

[short flint]

Not currently planned. I think getting a wave of new people on an established server is data they would actually want.

[frosty terrace]

try out literally everything and find every bug you can.

[short flint]

Absolutely. Try them all out, try out all of the artisan. find all the quests, do all the jump puzzles.

[keen grotto]

hopefully we can level artisans normal

Getting your computer to stop working entirely may also be valuable data :^)

My guild mates were hitting level 3 artisan on yesterdays test. Not sure what that meant/gave them exactly, but my character got bugged at level 2 and was hard stuck at XP. so i just ran around and found quests 😉 so i couldn't test much

[keen grotto]

i couldnt upgrade my permit, i got stopped everytime, maybe it was my bad

[deep perch]

I have the alpha II first wave bundle but i am a little confused on how to get the launcher. HALP!

[opal wind]

So Alpha 2 players will be able to play from today until?

[analog notch]
