questions

[deep perch]

ok thanks!

[short flint]

Alpha 2 Phase 1 is weekend only tests. This lasts until Alpha 2 phase 2 which is slated for Dec 20th release (subject to change).

[signal ibex]

Friday-sunday for now then those windows will expand as we get closer to launch

[keen grotto]

we know what time sundays it closes?

[opal wind]

I am Beta 1/Beta 2/Alpha 2 - does this mean I can only play on Nov the 9th? Or do I get to play today? I imagine I'd get to play today because Igot the email?

[signal ibex]

10PM

[keen grotto]

pst?

[proud eagle]

ye

[analog notch]

what pack/bundle did you buy?

[signal ibex]

yes

[opal wind]

$375 in 2022

[analog notch]

Today

[frosty terrace]

Then, you should have access, check the website or your email for links to download. also link your discord to your account.

[opal wind]

I am ready to go, got the launcher/download the files post launcher execution

[sick elbow]

2019

[opal wind]

It was 2019? The website says Feb 7 2022 with a 375$ amount.

[strange yew]

Level 10 in the Artisan skill to upgrade certificate from Novice to Apprentice

[analog notch]

the $375 pack was available until January this year

[short flint]

It does not mean you have access for today's launch. Can you be precise as to what your account says for Alpha 2? Does it say "Alpha Two First Wave" or just "Alpha 2"?

[full scroll]

Is "Alpha two" role issued automatically or do I need to link something?

[opal wind]

I am looking to see where it would say that

[frozen fog]

Keep getting an error when I try to launch the game "The code execution cannot proceed because XINPUT1_3.dll was not found. I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling the game and using the repair, neither of which have been successful.

[short flint]

Check your ACCOUNT INVENTORY. yours should say "Alpha Two" based on the info you gave.

[full scroll]

nvm found it

[analog notch]

regardless of your pack, if you got the email then you can play today

[frozen fog]

Where? Please and ty 🙂

[opal wind]

It just says Alpha2, Beta1, Beta2

[signal ibex]

If he has betas as well then he bought a preorder pack with alpha 2 which gives you access today

[short flint]

[frosty terrace]

you've got the launcher, you're good to go mate.

[short flint]

Then youshould be good for today!

[full scroll]

I linked it, now just need to wait till I get the role I guess

[opal wind]

guys are great, thank you

[short flint]

when you are logged in, at the top right, does it say "GET LAUNCHER" or "JOIN ALPHA" @opal wind

[lone pier]

.

[opal wind]

Got it, already installed and launched just waiting for the servers to be up at this point. Thanks for the help

[hallow ore]

should I be able to download the launcher as a first wave? I know I still have a couple weeks before I can get in

[short flint]

Oh cool - Yeah! I'd just say don't bother trying to log in until we get the thumbs up that the servers are open for logins. Otherwise you'll get all sorts of errors that might be scary 😉

[frosty terrace]

not yet.

[short flint]

No, the launcher is not available for First Wave key holders yet. we expect you all to get a pre-download closer to your Nov 8th access date.

[opal wind]

too late for that, it just says No available Realms. Code:23

[frosty terrace]

I launched my game that far, just to make sure it works, but closed now, waiting for server up announcement.

[dry temple]

Is Visual NDA still in place? or is it ok to show character creation etc?

[short flint]

lol, well it confirms that they are not up yet 🙂 we should get updates in #news and #alpha-two-news . If you can't see those, follow the steps here #read-me-first

[short flint]

The NDA's are still 100% in effect until the official launch of A2 test servers.

[frosty terrace]

the visual NDA is not removed for prior content, but content going live today will not be under NDA

[dry temple]

so character creation is not allowed?

[analog notch]

correct

[short flint]

You can not visually display the character creator

[white viper]

Anyone else getting this. Tried reinstalling still same message

[short flint]

Delete this picture - under NDA. Your solution is here:
#questions message

[frosty terrace]

install directx from the microsoft website firxed this for me.

[short flint]

To be extra clear. anything obtained about Ashes of Creation testing that has happened under NDA, is still under the NDA contract in which people agreed upon. NDA for those tests are not being "LIFTED". The only thing that is happening, is that Intrepid is officially launching their Alpha 2 Test environments in which they are not requiring people to sign NDA's for, so all of that NEW contact on and after the official launch of the servers is able to be streamed fully on those test realms.

• Just wanting to keep people and their investments as safe as possible.

[surreal merlin]

i did not install easyanticheat at start...how can i install it now? i uninstalled everything but i dont get the checkbox anymore to install it with

[sage schooner]

Hey, so those on wave bundles wont be able to download the launcher prior to the wave relase date? So no pre download to try and launch in the game at the start of alpha up time?

[short flint]

People mentioned that uninstalling the launcher and reinstalling gave them the pop-up? For me, i got the pop-up with a launcher update.

[drifting sable]

server still opening in 20min or delayed?

[frosty terrace]

you will likely get a link to preload shortly before your wave goes live.

[short flint]

We are expecting wave key holders will have a pre-download available to them, closer to their access date. No dates have been confirmed yet by IS.

[frosty terrace]

no further delays have been announced yet.

[short flint]

So far no delays. all informatioon will be posted here #news or #alpha-two-news here

[drifting sable]

so 20 more min right?

[dapper lance]

Which class will allow me to slap other players the hardest?

[worn viper]

so are the servers down i was on yesterday?

[frosty terrace]

Threather somehow always manages to convey just a little more info, a little better than I do. I love it. xD

[tawny pulsar]

19 mins supposedly

[short flint]

yes - Please check #news and #alpha-two-news for server upates.

[opal wind]

Is there an anticipated crowd size for today?

[short flint]

..a lot? 😉

[viral iron]

or someone with this name

[mighty jasper]

im having technical problems downloading the launcher, i filled out a help request on the website but was told i might get faster help on discord, which channel would be able to help me with that?

[spark patrol]

ppl streaming right now are they breaking NDA???

[tawny pulsar]

yes

[analog notch]

there's no better slap than telling someone "no heals for you, now die"

[frosty terrace]

Where are you running into trouble, we can hopefully help

[short flint]

might be able to help here, but I would probably recommend #alpha-two-bugs-issues-old or #alpha-two-general

[sinful raptor]

Hi. Is the Alpha Two NDA still lifted?

[mighty jasper]

sorry, not the launcher, that part is fine, when i log into the launcher, it pulls the game up for me to login and download, but when i put my information in it comes up with an Http error and says its unable to obtain a subchannel

[short flint]

Yes - Official Alpha 2 launch has not happened. That launch is what has been conveyed as to be out of NDA. Intrepid might not do anything about those streaming it- but as of right now the only response is the official launch of A2 has no NDA. Everything else is subject to NDA.

[mighty jasper]

then it closes

[short flint]

This might be caused by servers still being down? I'd definitely reach out to the Alpha two channels I listed, people might be actively doing launcher things and has experience/info to help.

I've not been able to keep up with any of the things happening with the launcher, been devoting/volunteering my time here

[frosty terrace]

That's not one of the common errors I've seen yet. Have you already tried doing the repair?

[mighty jasper]

okay, ill try the other channel, thank you! Yeah i have tried the repair and a full reinstall a few times

[wild belfry]

can someone help me determine if i qualify for alpha 2 or not? i bought a pack at PAX east in 2019 and its so old i barely see anything in my profile on the website.

[light grove]

check your inventory on the website

[short flint]

Can you look at the https://ashesofcreation.com/account/inventory and see what keys might exist in your inventory?

[wild belfry]

i see alpha 0

[short flint]

that would 100% help us guide you

[fringe niche]

Is there a way to gift Alpha 2 ? anyone know off hand?

[vocal patio]

Send me $1k and I'll send you my loggin Tek

[short flint]

Only thing I know of, right now, is to give your friend $120 and have them purcahse the wave bundle for Nov 8th. or less money for later start times

[short flint]

Are there any other pages, or just that one page?

[wild belfry]

just thius

[fringe niche]

I figured that was the only way

[short flint]

Hmm,, I don't see Alpha 2 listed, so I would say that you don't. but I'm not familiar with that PAX purchase. <@&542059693779058748> do one of you might know what that purchase might have included. Was it just an Alpha 0 access only?

[minor iris]

Why can't i access the voice channels?

[wild belfry]

i thought it was all future test phases iirc

[frosty terrace]

#read-me-first

[pine escarp]

Any reason I would be blocked from chatting in alpha-two-general

[short flint]

I pinged moderators for you @wild belfry - they will know more than me or direct you

[analog notch]

have you linked your ashes account to discord? what pack did you buy? If it was the $120 one then you don't have access yet.

[rose token]

anyone got a link to what servers are what? pvp etc etc

[short flint]

You don't have a Alpha 2 access or your role isn't configured. follow step 3 #read-me-first , but that "Alpha Two" is not configured for Alpha Two Wave key holders.

[dull gale]

Only those who bought keys prior to 2024 get full access to those channel (And the game in general)

[blissful garden]

fix for this?

[cyan prairie]

for cold bones, again, probably the same issue that im having.

[short flint]

all servers are PvX

[light grove]

not on yet

[frosty terrace]

all servers are pvp, there are no pve only servers.

[short flint]

Servers are down - Patience is the fix.

[olive vector]

Waiting until actual release time.

[pine escarp]

trying to figure out how to link discord then

[short flint]

#read-me-first step #3

[shy flare]

Should I be waiting in the 'connecting' screen or start game up when servers go live?

[rose token]

yes but there were servrs set for the most ardcore pvpers

[short flint]

Wait for servers to go live.

[spiral coyote]

Servers are down for another 10 mintes.

[frosty terrace]

I'm waiting until servers go live, probably your better bet.

[cyan prairie]

@wild belfry since you bought it so long ago it might have got messed up by the many transitions they made since then, might want to make a support ticket.

[short flint]

Intrepid is not configuring any server for "more hardcore" players.

[shy flare]

So it won't automatically connect?

[blissful garden]

thanks, didn't know they were down

[light parcel]

interesting your says alpha 0 download

[wild belfry]

where does one make a support ticket/

[short flint]

I have no idea if it will or not.

[west mango]

!cs

[potent thunder]

[light parcel]

Mine doesn't even show an Alpha 2 download

[frosty terrace]

The voyager pre-order pack included alpha keys didn't it?

[timber crater]

Why do I get a no available realms code 23 when I try to log in? I can't log in.

[cyan prairie]

@light parcel you bought your pack so long ago that they migrated..... it probably got screwed up and make a ticket

[shy flare]

Is anyone looking for someone to play with? Cos I am

[gilded sphinx]

server not upo thats why

[short flint]

Because the servers are down : )

[cyan prairie]

I have the same problem

[frosty terrace]

because the realms are not up yet

[pine escarp]

They updated this link then, earlier it was pre-alpha. I'm good now, thank you all!

[gilded sphinx]

9 min

[steep granite]

?

[ancient flame]

so if everything client side is working correctly you will get code 23 atm?

[light parcel]

@cyan prairie I did they sent an automated response I believe so I wrote them back saying that my account doesn't show that I have alpha access... took them 3 days to get back... So I am expecting another 3 days

[frosty terrace]

yes

[timber crater]

I thought servers were supposed to go live at 10am pacific today?

[frosty terrace]

#news

[short flint]

Yes, because the servers are still down.

[spice bane]

delayed for patching

[short flint]

#news #alpha-two-news

[cyan prairie]

@light parcel dang, guess i will be looking forward to the same experience then >< no shot that they give a refund after 6 years i bet lol

[light parcel]

@cyan prairie if they give another automated response I will ask for a refund for sure and see what they say

I didn't pay 200+ for nothing

[opal wind]

Only if you can guess what type of steak they spent your investment on.

[regal belfry]

There were some bugs and issues that were identified during todays test that needed to be fixed

this is part of alpha testing folks.

[opal wind]

[midnight nebula]

Are you guys hyped as much as I am?

[cyan prairie]

would be hyped if our packs from pre 2020 were working XD

[gilded sphinx]

yea just notsure what eu serv to join lol

[keen grotto]

no, i'm more hyped

[proven perch]

I'm out of the loop on alpha two changes, but is there still a NDA or no?

[surreal cove]

Anyone know which EU server is coined to be the most pvp oriented?

[elder kestrel]

Does sitting on the connecting screen work for getting into queue?

[frosty terrace]

All servers (realms) are pvx

[opal wind]

hard questions for an alpha test

[short flint]

when the official A2 servers launch - those servers will not have an NDA attached. ALL PREVIOUS content still has NDA's attached as per the agreement at the time the content was consumed.

[regal belfry]

not once we get into this alpha 2 test. no NDA

[midnight nebula]

There is NDA(

[west mango]

just join one

[surreal cove]

but joining the wrong one is GG

end of life

its ogre

forever

[spice bane]

its alpha mate lol

[short flint]

We have no idea, I would not think so though. your system didn't receive server information to connect to, not sure if it automatically updates it or not. I would doubt it.

[proven perch]

By that you mean the test that started today?

[surreal cove]

even more important to choose the right server

[short flint]

#news #alpha-two-news check the start times there friend

[surreal cove]

alpha only happens (several times)

[spice bane]

[tawny pulsar]

not the aplha from this morning. once we get back into the servers it is no NDA

[toxic viper]

are the Alpha 2 channels locked until Nov 8th for those us in wave 1?

[opal wind]

able to log in as well and create char

[short flint]

Most likely, yes. Make sure you have your account linked for when that time comes though! follow step 3 here #read-me-first ahead of time

@azure reef my guess is the download link will appear near that date.

[keen grotto]

I’m ye up

[scarlet rampart]

I'm in the same predicament currently

[azure reef]

Damn it

[wraith ember]

For those having login issues, the problem has to do with the windows clock which isnt perfectly synced.

I just logged in on an apple PC and it worked without a problem!

@brazen saffron update to the latest directx

[short flint]

ALPHA 2 FIRST WAVE KEY HOLDERS
You do not have access to the test currently. Your key that you purchases granted you access on Nov 8th. Currently, you do not have access to pre-download the launcher. Continue to watch the #news and #alpha-two-news channels for updates, watch for new emails and check the website.

[charred elm]

no cap, tell the support team to ignore the fokin bugs and focus on account and log in issues ffs

[terse harbor]

Unable to authenticate intrepid cloud services. anyone else getting this on login attempt?

[charred elm]

Even fokin Blizzard at its worste times could handle a support ticket in 24h, its been over 30 now

[viral solar]

Update your input software

[short flint]

Website support team != developers. They are two different teams working on two different issues. They will each continue to work as best as they can on the objects they are responsible for.

is anyone elses game crashing every time the login?

ok updating directx- thanks for the quick reply guys

[charred elm]

am I allowed to post Ashes forum links here?

[charred elm]

do they have only 1 junior dev on support or what?=

[plucky robin]

Deep breath its alpha, things arent perfect

[lime ibex]

I wait in a long queue and the game immediately crashes when i finally log in

[elfin comet]

I'm in A2, how do I get the role?

[serene mango]

Any one have any suggestions for getting the cliente running on M1 Mac using wine/ Whiskey? The installation of the Launcher quits before attempting to install. I play other games using whiskey specifically SWTOR.

[short flint]

Understand your frustration - but I was just educating. They also have a lot of tickets to go thorugh. They ask you to be patient as they work through yours and everyone elses.

Close your launcher and try re-opening it. IF it fails, uninstall it and download the new version using the link on the website at the top left "GET LAUNCHER" (you will need to be logged in first)

[charred elm]

I know, but you know also what I mean. It's the start, and they have alrdy posted bug fixes etc. maybe focus on the launch and fak the bugs, reposition some personal and help out if its that bad.

[short flint]

I hope you get a quick answer!

[charred elm]

there are consumer rights and laws in place for that kind of shit

[low coral]

I can't even get passed the launcher without my PC crashing 😦

[short flint]

I won't discuss legal matters, as I am not a lawyer. I would definitely speak to a professional about those matters.

Please read the section about the "Launcher" from their website. This has been made public for quite sometime:

Wave 1 starts November 8th

[short flint]

Please read the Wave key information, it is on the website and also in the description of the package you purchased. you would have needed to read it in full details to understand what you purchased: https://ashesofcreation.com/news/2024-08-20-alpha-two-wave-bundles

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.

link your discord to your ashes of creation account and it should work if you have access to the alpha todah

As listed on the website, if you purchased the first wave package, we don't get in until November 8

[ancient flame]

for today you need a captain Janeway pack or better, first wave won't do it

[fossil sluice]

ok thx

[slender eagle]

Got down to position 128, now I just jumped up to position 241...

Why does it keep doing this

[mighty jasper]

okay? Are you trying to say i dont have access to this or what? not really sure what youre trying to say

[visual frigate]

because queue is regional people are leaving and reentering Lionhold

My guess is that it is linked to the Alpha 2 discord role.

Connect your discord to your AoC account

Im in the US, should I be connecting to a EU server by default?

[marble drift]

i started out at position 19 in queue at 1:04pm and i but bumped up over position 300 and still in queue nearly a half our later. its this normal ?

[rocky palm]

i'll enjoy my 120 bucks that didn't just vanish into thin air thanks

Nothing there, just A2 explanation and a Buy button that does not work

Yes. Yesterday's test was wiped today

[ruby umbra]

Has anyone seen the queue be accurate? I've been at 1, then jump to 217, then 60, then back to 1 and just sit. Obviously people aren't going to be exiting if they can help it, but is this positioning correct or nah?

[hushed rover]

The 1st one

[near stump]

If there is no update, youll have to redownload

[honest viper]

Should just read "Alpha 2"

[near stump]

top one is old. It shouldnt say spot test

[subtle sage]

you complaining about 30 min Q in alfa 2 lol we had 24 hours Q in released version of new world )

[shrewd timber]

i thought we were going to be allowed to stream this?

[cobalt nacelle]

we are

[hushed rover]

We are

The visual NDA was lifted today

[cobalt nacelle]

but not from yesterday's content

[rocky palm]

you didn't have to pay 120 bucks for New World

[median quartz]

no but that was not alfa )

[rocky palm]

they could have invested into servers they decided to skimp down on cash and funnel it all to the big man

[marble drift]

$120 ? I paid.... $375

[median quartz]

it was only 60 dollers for 24 hours

Q there

[short flint]

To be 100% clear. The previous NDA Contracts are still in play. IT's just that the current testing phase is not under ANY NDA. We don't want people posting visuals from previous tests thinking it was lifted and getting their accounts banned.

anyone have a link to the launcher download?

[opal prism]

yes in the nda early channels

[charred bear]

is there a minmaxxing focused realm on eu aswell?

[storm flare]

Has anyone who purchased an alpha 2 first wave bundle received anything to download it yet?

[ruby umbra]

queue 1 for one hour is crazy

[hollow hatch]

im looking but noit found yet

[visual frigate]

Phase 1 starts Nov 8th

[tulip hatch]

Wave bundles do not have a download yet - they will closer to their start time on Nov 8th

[storm flare]

It said access to todays stuff when I bought it

[pearl ivy]

i was told to leave and start again, and now my position is worse lol... i mean thats expected, but still!

actually my position is all over the place

who knows?

[shrewd timber]

I'm still getting permission denied when signing into the launcher

[tulip hatch]

the queue display is a bug and is not reflecting your actual place in queue

[pearl ivy]

dang so i prolly screwed myself by leaving after sitting in it for 50m?

[visual edge]

Anyone else forever in position queue 1 ?

[quick crow]

got damit

[tulip hatch]

[cobalt nacelle]

all of us? lol

[quick crow]

Yeah

[visual frigate]

no Wave 1 always was meant to join Nov 8th today is for kickstarter backers and earlier bundles that were on sale up until Jan 2024 I think

[storm flare]

That was not clear in their ads

[orchid heron]

Yyyeeeeeppppp

[visual frigate]

it always was they even mentioned it when they announced the wave bundle

[storm flare]

No it wasn’t

[digital sonnet]

"Permission Denied" error comes up most often when someone doesn't have Alpha Two.

If you have Alpha Two access that starts today (Friday, October 25) it should work. If you have a Wave Bundle that starts on a later date for Alpha Two, you'll get "permission denied"

If you have Alpha Two and you're getting this error, you may need to contact Support: https://support.ashesofcreation.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[visual frigate]

when buying the wave bundle it says when it starts

[shrewd timber]

I paid 120 and screenshotted where it says the phase 1 access starts Octe 25

[storm flare]

Yup

[stray solstice]

ye...

[storm flare]

I get what it said on the bundle put their advertisement everywhere else was deceptive

[stray solstice]

I set time aside today when I bought the bundle

also I am linked but don't have the badge here at all

[visual frigate]

1st wave key give no role

[wide sandal]

mabe this was the confusion?

[stray solstice]

Yep

[hushed rover]

Had to be, because on the bundle itself it had the correct date

[shrewd timber]

Yep! Phase one oct 25th for 120

[cloud cairn]

If your queue keeps jumping all over the place, should I restart or that's okay @digital sonnet ?

[wide sandal]

but that pic is a roadmap update

[calm mist]

Phase 1 and Wave 1 are not the same.

[hushed rover]

That's okay

[cloud cairn]

Ty

[hushed rover]

It's a visual thing

[storm flare]

It’s deceptive

[young rune]

Can my friend upgrade from his old beta pack to the alpha 2 pack? Or is it just he needs to spend the full 120

[stray solstice]

problem is Phase 2 and Wave 2 and Phase 3 and Wave 3 match dates

[digital sonnet]

This is a known issue. It's a bug: #alpha-two-news message

[cloud cairn]

Tyty

[calm mist]

I don't disagree it can be confusing and it clearly is as evidenced by the chat. Unforunately they probably should have chose different wording

[stray solstice]

It's very confusing when
Wave 1 =/= Phase 1
Wave 2 = Phase 2
Wave 3 = Phase 3

To an extent is just kinda deceiving

[shrewd sluice]

I had the same thing. That's why I bought it today, thinking I wou9ld be able to play today, because that's what was on the purchase. Today's date. I can wait. I don't think it's that big a deal, but that's just me.

[vernal moss]

What is with these queues? Can it not stick on a certain number???

[wide sandal]

yea the wording does say everyone with access to alpha 2 in the roadmap pic i can see the confusion

[young rune]

known bug

[halcyon thorn]

im 1 in q, then 183??

[feral crystal]

i rejoined the queue bc I thought I'm bugging lol

rip

[halcyon thorn]

interesting q system

[stray solstice]

They should have made today Phase 0 and Wave 0 or smth

[shrewd timber]

phase 1 which I paid for is still for today for 120.... anyone know why permission denied?

[analog nest]

Ive been 1 in queue for about 40minutes now 😄

[visual edge]

i am 1 in queue for 30 min

[last halo]

why is the Queue Fluctuating going down to 20 then back up to 400 down to 200 up to 400 again

on reapeat

[chrome inlet]

I don't think we have access till Nov 8th it looks like Chris

[vernal lichen]

why am I always rolled back in a queue - like I am going 57 - 38 - 55 always

[stray solstice]

Make it clear Wave one doesn't start with Phase one
Make Clear there is a whole wave before wave one for alpha 2

[wide sandal]

Nov 8th for all the 120 packs

[last halo]

we are all seeing the same thing

maybe there doing it in batches? and just showing us our position in the batch

[digital sonnet]

**If you're reporting issues or want to chat about Alpha Two, please do it in those channels

Questions is NOT a channel to talk about where you are in queue**

[last halo]

so it says 20 but in reality its 23023

[halcyon thorn]

the question is why are we bouncing in q

[stray solstice]

I don't have access to message on them despite having bought Alpha Two tho

Edit: Account is Bound

[digital sonnet]

It's a bug

[halcyon thorn]

from 1 to x number

I see

[digital sonnet]

#alpha-two-news message

[halcyon thorn]

so is the real number the second one that shows?

[hushed rover]

The highest is probably the real one

[topaz kraken]

man I needed to reconnect cuz the mount quest didn't work, now I'm stuck in the queue. I was so fast at first that I didn't even have a queue

[cobalt nacelle]

In my case, it eventually fell to one and is staying here

[analog nest]

For Shol, do we have a rough guess of how long the queue should take as i've been waiting around 50 minutes since I crashed. Should I be cancelling the queue and re-trying or sit tight

[hushed rover]

It's a visual bug. Sit tight and you'll get in

[halcyon thorn]

does anyone know if the dynamic meshing is in

[digital sonnet]

If you have Alpha Two access that starts today, you should have the role if your Intrepid account is linked to your Discord account.

If you have Alpha Two access that starts later, you won't.

You should be able to message in Alpha Two channels if you have the Alpha Two role. You can get this by connecting your Intrepid account to Discord here: https://ashesofcreation.com/account/connections

If you’re having issues, sometimes disconnecting and reconnecting this will fix things.

If that doesn’t work, you’ll need to contact Support so they can look at things on your account. You can contact them by using this form: https://support.ashesofcreation.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[vernal lichen]

so technically we should just be in a queue and after an hour maybe we can get in game

[broken granite]

@digital sonnet do you know if Founder Package is down at the moment, could anyone confirm it to me?

[ornate glacier]

No matter what i do or what resolution i use, i always get this error message and the game exists after i try to log into Shol Server

[atomic night]

If you mean the shop, I get page not found when I click checkout and the popup self-deletes when I try PayPal.

Been trying to upgrade to founder plus, but alas

[broken granite]

Exactly

[heady vapor]

I'm logging in from Australia, can anyone give me some advice on choosing server?

[stray solstice]

So just making it clear, if you bought an Alpha 2 key, you won't have access to Alpha 2 discord chats at all until the wave you bought starts.

[atomic night]

Are you trying to purchase initially or upgrade an existing?

[broken granite]

Upgrade to Founder pkg

[atomic night]

Really either region is probably going to be about the same

[atomic night]

Same. Wonder if that has anything to do with it

[digital sonnet]

Resna, Lyneth, and Vyra are located in US Central

Arioch, Lotharia, and Shol are located in EU West

Not sure if one set will be better for you over the other.

[atomic night]

Honestly I would just look at your personal experience and think if you've had better connections on NA servers or EU servers on other games. Not an exact science, I know, but it's probably all you've got atm

[broken granite]

@digital sonnet could you check my question about Founder pkg when possible, may be affecting others

[atomic night]

What am I? Chop liver?

[hazy barn]

i bought pre order will i get beta key?

[celest island]

Is it normal that im not regenerating health/mana?

[atomic night]

Find cleric. love cleric. follow cleric

[upper pine]

isn't the founder pack from like 4 years ago

[digital sonnet]

We have some bugs with the shop. If you're trying to upgrade something and can't OR you're seeing things for purchase you already have, this may be one for Support.

[shy fox]

is there information about which servers are west and which are east ? in game ping for servers not showing

[cobalt nacelle]

Are you in combat? Otherwise it takes ages unless you are resting

[atomic night]

You can upgrade them if you didn't buy the ultimate tier previously

[broken granite]

[digital sonnet]

Realm Info is here #news message

[buoyant crow]

are euro servers really located in europe?

[celest island]

Outside combat it also takes ages it feels like

[shy fox]

thanks

[pearl ivy]

Are the servers actually max capacity and the queues are overflow? Or is there some throttling for testing purposes? Are there enough people in queue to warrant another server opening like was suggested during one of the streams?

[broken granite]

Yup, still available for kickstarters

[shy fox]

that just shows EU and NA unless i'm missing it. Not which ones are East cost and West Coast for NA

[digital sonnet]

Western Europe

[marsh pecan]

What is going on with the que system I get to a lower pos then get bumped to 500+?

[atomic night]

Login servers can only go so fast, so the game server might not be at capacity but the poor character creator is tapping out and begging for mercy. They also might be throttling to give the sickly goblins some breathing room

[tulip hatch]

The queue number is bugged it does not accurately reflect your place in queue

[atomic night]

There is no east or west for games anymore. most all games use centralized servers and only label them east or west for time zone purposes

[gusty bear]

My character is gone after I got timed out. should I worry or just restart the game again?

[fiery spade]

We just need to wait even if we get stuck in position "1", right?

[marsh pecan]

@tulip hatch OKay

[tulip hatch]

Yes

[shy fox]

not true at all but ok

[atomic night]

Double-check you're on the same realm as you were before. In the stress test I timed out and it swapped me to an EU server

[gusty bear]

oh yeah, tripled checked :p

restarting the game, let's see

[vocal seal]

Sit down and regeneration is fast. Eat rations.

[timber crater]

I'm trying to get on restart. It says 521 queue. I've been waiting a while and the queue number jumps around which is a known issue. Wish we could know what our actual place in queue is

[woven ruin]

What position in queue is everyone on I’m at 265 but sometimes it goes higher 😂

[tulip agate]

[barren robin]

Heya, I no longer have access to the A2 chats, is there something I need to do to regain access?

[digital sonnet]

[vital coral]

Ive purchased the Alpha Two First Wave Bundle and for some reason i cant get logged in. Help?

[stray solstice]

Alpha 2 buyers should have the role tho, so you know who is playing during it.
Not giving people the role at all until the wave starts is just lazy

[stray solstice]

Phase 1 is not Wave 1
They made phases = waves for 2 and 3 but not 1

[full scroll]

A little, but realistically all the wave players would just triple the message count and reduce the useful info count.

[stray solstice]

Just give role for wave and give access based on the wave role

and give everyone phase role

[ember elm]

Did you manage to fix it?

[full scroll]

That'll probably happen, just later. Cause rn it doesn't matter.

[stray solstice]

I does tho, because you could recruit players of later waves to AAs

[desert lynx]

hello
I do have access to Alpha Two channels but still waiting to have access to the installer as I do not have option to download it - created a ticket but haven't heard back in almost 2 days... Is support overwhelmed at the moment?

Not saying it's the best way to present it but in the bundle itself it does have the nov 8 date

[subtle gust]

100%. i've been saying the phase/waves and conflicting information is confusing and misleading but everyone likes to get defensive

Again, Phase 2 = Wave 2
Phase 3 = Wave 3
Phase 1 =/= Wave 1

deceiving and confusing? YES

I'm mislead too

I set my whole day aside because I thought I was starting today

[subtle gust]

i recommended adding the distinction to a FAQ or pinned post

[stray solstice]

My husband did the same despite being a pre-alpha tester since alpha One

[subtle gust]

but typing out the same thing over and over works too

[stray solstice]

because when he bought me the key they page had the roadmap

[dim galleon]

For total clarity, should we just completely ignore the queue number and wait? I got kicked out randomly and am now just sat at 1 - I think I should just ignore and wait?

[cyan prairie]

if it makes you feel better, there are some of us that bought the kickstarter packs and are waiting in Support queue for our tickets to get our packs recognized despite us being in alpha 1 tests XD

[tulip hatch]

Yes the queue display is a bug and does not reflect your place in queue at this time

[ripe timber]

Thx anyway to play before?

[fair swallow]

So if I haven’t received my download email who should I get in touch with? The website isn’t exactly helpful

[hushed rover]

Not right now

The fastest I know atm is the First Wave Bundle

[glacial onyx]

Started at 19, and it got down to 15 and then it started swapping with 1 until it jumped to 520.

Where do I send cash to get back to 15.

[stray solstice]

As fast as they get to it at some point xD

[drifting sable]

are they adding new servers?

Anybody know how to get around this?

Is Vyra server letting anyone in. Chat suggests not.

[tulip hatch]

I too am in queue for Vyra - if players do not move away from the starting area queue will not move

[proven jolt]

anybody in here from Intrepid, any ideas on the Code:18 error?

[cursive peak]

can someone guide me to the deleting cerash logs post

[wind sentinel]

meow

[drifting sable]

Can a gm clarify new servers? or keep attempting to connect to the old servers?

[wind sentinel]

woof

[glacial onyx]

I understand the display of 1 is a bug. However the fact it jumps all over at higher numbers makes me question how the queue is managed more than how the position is calculated. The former is complicated, the latter rather simple.

[near stump]

Does starting area include lionhold?

[untold garnet]

whats this mean?

[wind sentinel]

oink

[twilit karma]

I’m queing for Resna and my position keeps moving up and down. Is that because ppl keep coming back to the starting area?

[tulip hatch]

Yes

[vast badger]

my lv 2 crashed on vyna and been stuck at 1 yeah

[hushed rover]

Alluring how much is included in "the starting area"?

[tulip hatch]

Not aware of the specifics - id say yell at people to scatter to the other nodes to make space!

[hushed rover]

Fair enough, thanks

[halcyon wind]

When Revive in spawn, i get DCD

[gray igloo]

what do you do when people are trying to do that but unable to?

[tulip hatch]

Not sure on that - will make a note for Intrepid

[outer rivet]

An exception access violation error occurs when you try to access protected memory, such as memory that is not allocated or is not owned by a process.

I would just click submit so the logs are sent in a crash report and try restarting pc / reinstall if that doesn't work.

[mental pelican]

Alluring working overtime in here

[tulip hatch]

What do you mean are unable to

[glossy vale]

I cannot type in alpha-2-general also have this bug

[zealous condor]

where do i download the game? i got the key but i cant see download button

[mental pelican]

if you cant type in alpha-2-general it's because you dont have access to alpha-2 right now

[gray igloo]

theres a lot of people stuck in place or that are unable to move much because of lag

[woven ruin]

How do you get a horse?

[mental pelican]

they said its viewable for anyone, but only people taking part in tests can type

[vast badger]

quest in lionhold

[outer rivet]

Look like your install failed and a .dll is missing (this links files in the compile process). I'd probably do what it says and try a reinstall if a system restart doesn't work first.

[urban herald]

Hi, there is a main quest? During my few jours testing i don't see. I just find crafting or killing quest

[civic obsidian]

there isnt during alpha

[pliant pumice]

Is the que really over 600 ??

[zealous condor]

how do i download the game if i got the alpha two first wave bundle

[opal wind]

How does the queue start at 150+ and goes to down to 1 and just sits at one for ever?

[tulip hatch]

Downloading this from Microsoft might fix this problem:|| https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35||

Also, please try linking your IS and Discord accounts here, to get access to the Alpha 2 Test channels: https://ashesofcreation.com/account/connections

[gray igloo]

that said its quite common to see people crowding around certain areas in mmo's so could say these crowds are the real spot test

[mental pelican]

if you got the bundle, you won't have access to the game until nov 8th. but you can download the launcher from the website https://ashesofcreation.com

[glossy vale]

@tulip hatch Thank you

That did it, thank you!!!

[bleak dune]

the queue is bugged atm you will be let in as people move out of the starting area

[tulip hatch]

The queue number is bugged and does not show your actual place in queue and servers may be at capacity

[copper aurora]

10 minutes as number 1, some guildies have already been booted and got back in

maybe more like 20 minutes

[glossy vale]

@young flare you are welcome.

[short quarry]

On the live stream just now Margaret said that there are bundles available in the online shop, but the shop is currently showing that there is nothing available. Is this a feature or a bug?

Queue management is bugged as well.

[spring quest]

That’s crazy. I paid for it last year and I’ve been playing since yesterday

[bitter furnace]

Got error 12 while trying to get to character screen. Anyone else getting error 12?

[glacial onyx]

Why? I believe any bundle you bought 3 years ago gets you all waves of A2 and the Betas.

[proud eagle]

yeah i bought mine around that time and have access

[storm tide]

ok thanks just was not sure cuzs it cost me like 500 bucks 3 years ago

[spice bane]

yea 3 days for reports, 5 days for fixes, rinse repeat until alpha is in a stable spot

2 1/2 here

[fierce flicker]

2.5hours?

[wanton haven]

Yup

[fair swallow]

Swear half of you have never played an alpha before let alone a new mmo with new servers, actually thought you were gonna get in easy? lol

[fierce flicker]

so you have yet to get in?

[glacial onyx]

I think someone forgot the lessons from Data Structures and Algorithms

[wanton haven]

I have not

[glad solstice]

the only question i have is whether or not to restart queue periodically or just stay in position 1 for hours without stopping

[glacial onyx]

Without an accurate accounting of your position, restarting is a gamble

How come I cant type in Alpha 2 channel? i am in the game

[tulip hatch]

Hello friends - some of you dont have roles
If you cant see #general-discussion please go to #read-me-first for language roles

If you have Alpha 2 access today and cant type in #alpha-two-general you need to link your discord to your Intrepid account
https://ashesofcreation.com/account/connections

If you dont get the roles within a few mins please unlink and relink using a different browser/incognito mode

[glacial onyx]

When I first created a character, I got in right away. But then it crashed after 5 minutes. It’s been almost two hours since.

[bright orbit]

more servers coming when? XD

[feral crystal]

they'll try to avoid adding new servers IMO

player numbers will drop, and they can't merge them

[fair nexus]

why i cant write on alpha-two-arioch-eu

[feral crystal]

empty servers in this game will be super boring

[brave smelt]

Hello. If a quest has just confused me because I cannot seem to find what it wants me to find, where is the right place to report that? I'm not sure if the 'optional' steps are no longer possible or if I'm just looking in the wrong place, or something else

[sick cradle]

The alpha two chat is spicy, came here to comment. Everyone in there, just please be patient, these guys are gonna fix everything, theyve workedo nthis game for like 3 years, itll get ironed out, justy calm down.

[lime escarp]

Any solution for those of us who enter the game, see people floating and after a short time it takes us off the server???

[gusty ermine]

about 3 hours no LIE

[tidal patio]

I have still yet to receive an email and ive paid 120USD for this, ive written to support and nothing has happened

[broken granite]

that looks like a cool feature

[brittle patio]

Keep trying to get in and play so that they can record what they need to for the testing.

[desert lynx]

dont have access though I am a kickstarter founder... anyone else with same situation? I did raise a support ticket but havent got a reply since they requested additional info almost 2 days ago

[mighty flame]

you dont get access to the launcher until you've purchased access

[frail temple]

@digital sonnet hey! just curious if you guys have a number of how many players are trying to login? im really curious what kind of numbers were pulled on day 1 🙂

[tidal patio]

oh it was alpha 2

[mighty flame]

probably not. early alpha testing will have issues like this unfortunately especially with how many players are trying to join and play.

[lone pier]

how do i get my bard book back?

Has any smarty pants in the discord figured how to get the launcher to work on steam deck yet??

[forest sandal]

No but someone is working on it

[tepid peak]

i think its for if you bought the wave 1 key early. i am not a founder with alpha 1 access. but i bought the key the first time it came around, and at the time, it gave me access for oct 25th

[forest sandal]

same, but shhhhh dont let them know or they will kick us out

[mighty flame]

i believe i heard on their twitch live stream that there was about 3000+ players in queue so expect some wait times lol

[solid geyser]

I cant download launcher

Is what hes saying as well

[tepid peak]

did you link your AoC account to discord?

[mighty flame]

if you bought alpha 2 wave 1 today then you get access on nov 8.

[solid geyser]

I bought mine october13

Same thing?

[mighty flame]

you must be logged in and discord connected i believe and the DOWNLOAD button will be on the home page of their website

[tepid peak]

did you follow the email sent out, about preapring for alpha. and make sure to link your discord to AoC account?

[solid geyser]

Ah

Did not link discord, thanks

[tepid peak]

np!

[mighty flame]

Is there a plan to fix the queue situation or open more layers for people that have been sitting in queue for a hot minute?

[naive goblet]

Why is character creation so bad? My characters skin, eyes and everything else looks like a dropped meat pie will this be fixed in the future? Or is this the aesthetic that's being aimed for 🙃

[thorny obsidian]

In queue for over 3 hours now. Wish I had any idea where I actually am in line, but the numbers are still up and down.

[tepid peak]

theyre clearly aware of the ques and working on it

[broken granite]

so any good streaming going on?

[tepid peak]

be patient. we have thousands of players trying to force their way in

[undone mountain]

Everyone streaming Queue simulator

[tepid peak]

you could watch narc sit in que for hours. kinda makes me happy. but yea theres other streamers in game playing right now

[desert juniper]

how do you get the launcher

[vernal ruin]

So I was able to create a character earlier but that was before the servers launched. Now I just get a maintenence message and to try again later. That's normal for now or should I at least be at like 10000 in the queue?

[forest sandal]

Some of us are playing the rogue like version where your queue position changes randomly and some of us are playing an old school JRPG style 40 hour journey

[tepid peak]

not sure, ive been in que for 2 hours after getting dc'd, i dont want to leave it lol

[lime tusk]

is there way to purchase an alpha 2 and get access to the queue simulator for today? Or are those packages sold out

theyre gone

after 3 hours get in and crashed in 2 secs

[tepid peak]

you can buy for nov 8th tho

[heady vapor]

[lime tusk]

if you buy for nov 8th can you play on the alpha tests following htaT?

[tepid peak]

yes, all tests after nov 8th you can play
