questions

[plain hemlock]

Damn, couldn't even log in last weekend cause of long que's and then the cloudfile thing going down. But hey, them's the breaks

[next schooner]

is there a way to gift someone an alpha two bundle?

[spiral pine]

Nope

[harsh raptor]

Testing

How do I get the Alpha etc roles after purchasing the game? I connected through the website. Is there anything else I'm missing?

[nimble fossil]

is alpha two down right now?

[blissful comet]

yes this upcoming friday it will open up. only weekends untill decemeber 20th

Anyone looking for a oceanic Guild msg me 😄

[worthy kite]

Where is the best place to submit feedback from this past test

[worthy olive]

can't you login their account and purchase it for them? assuming you trust each other for them to share their account information.

[spiral pine]

https://forums.ashesofcreation.com

[worthy kite]

Thank you kind sir

[merry chasm]

and what is the evasion stat do exactly because ididnt see it in game and wiki oesnt say much

[harsh raptor]

Where do I even download the game..and how do I get access to the Alpha 2 channels? I managed to get the game.

[opaque wren]

You will be coming just at a later date

[harsh raptor]

Is it usually delayed? I only got confirmation of the purchase/receipt hence why I'm so confused. That was 9hours ago.

[limber vapor]

If you just bought it, you wont get teh game before nov 8th.

[harsh raptor]

Am I not able to pre-download in advance though or?

[limber vapor]

Nope

[harsh raptor]

Oh okay 😂 That's odd

[spiral pine]

You will be able to closer to the 8th

[harsh raptor]

Ah okay. and as far as the roles/channels on here goes?

[near stump]

Evasion is a stat that allows you to evade attacks entirely. Where in game did something say “base evasion”.

[spiral pine]

https://ashesofcreation.com/account/connections

[patent marlin]

how many character slots did people get over the weekend?

[near stump]

5 per server

[merry chasm]

i dont think thats in game... everuy one of my hits , hit. Nimble has a stat of 50% base evasion

[leaden sapphire]

Anyone know what the tanking in this game is like?

[harsh raptor]

Yeah, I did that though and no changes?

[tawny pulsar]

For tanking , i just grab aggro then put up my block

it is easy and fun

[near stump]

Send a screenshot next weekend when you’re in game and ask. Hard to verify or look into it right now.

[spiral pine]

I think you'll get the role nov 8th too

[near stump]

You don’t get new roles yet. You’ll get access when your testing begins. But now that it’s linked you’ll gain access immediately when they open it up.

[limber vapor]

If it still says connect, press it again.

[near stump]

“Every one of my hits, hit”. The ability gives you the ability to evade enemy attacks. Nothing to do with your ability to hit enemies. It’s a defensive ability.

[merry chasm]

yes , you didnt get my point... if its a defensive ability then not all of my hits would hit

[harsh raptor]

Ah okay, cool! ty ty

[harsh raptor]

Oh no, It only says disconnect and to reconnect and I did that before already

I'll just leave it as is until Nov 8th

[near stump]

You’re assuming that enemy NPCs have a base evasion rating

[merry chasm]

even in pvp... ALL of my autos and skills HIT

[near stump]

Did you look through all your stats and not see any defensive stat called evasion?

[merry chasm]

i did yea, i dont recall an evasion stat nor its counterpart of accuracy

[obtuse vale]

hmm question yall i paid for alpha 2 wave one but cant download the game has wave one started??

[harsh raptor]

Yeah I'm p sure people I watched did say they have never seen their skills miss whilst grinding mobs

Idk If that also applies for any cc that they'd be able to apply but yeah

[harsh raptor]

Wave 1 starts Nov 8. The ones that were able to play were pre-testers I believe. We get to download the game when it gets closer to said date

[late jacinth]

why this happening please?

[obtuse vale]

ahh gotchu thanks

[harsh mauve]

when is phase two going to start? Just found out I wont even be able to play phase 1 because its weekends only

[tall quiver]

servers down

[verbal thicket]

@ mods, where can I leave feedback for the A2? I have an idea for how to greatly improve the starting experience. Thanks.

[wintry pivot]

20. december i think it was

ty

[wise garden]

is there a test this friday?

[spiral pine]

Phase 1 - Oct 25 - Dec 20 (Weekend tests only)
Phase 2 - Dec 20 - May 1 (5 days a week)
Phase 3 - May 1 onwards (24/7)

[harsh raptor]

This is for every weekend right? not 1 on 1 off?

[spiral pine]

Every weekend until P2 starts

[harsh raptor]

Cool cool

Ty

[wise garden]

ohh, i thought servers gonna be off til nov 8

ty ty

[vernal lichen]

can we anticipate dual swords on A2?

[wise garden]

that idk

theres gonna be dual daggers in phase 2, so maybe.

[verbal thicket]

Would be cool to wield a staff and also a wand as a mage

[vernal lichen]

oh actually do we have daggers now?

1 hand I mean

[spiral pine]

Yes

[limber terrace]

In lineage 2 players can setup a private shop and go afk, i think there is something similar in eso. I personally love this system and wonder if Intepid have plans to make this a feature and option for trading

[near stump]

Player stalls are being introduced in Phase 2

[limber terrace]

awesome to hear any idea where and when they talked about this?

ahh ok thanks

[near stump]

It's in the phase 2 picture

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Personal_shops

[limber terrace]

just like lineage 2 great

i dont like the idea of server wide auction house where everyone has information on item prices and people just undercut each other, localized and player trading is so much better for player interaction

[near stump]

Auction house listings aren't global. They're only seen regionally

And auction houses aren't a building that is guarenteed to be present in all nodes

They are only potentially present in economic nodes

Therefore, 3/4 of all nodes won't have one.

[limber terrace]

good to hear

[last shard]

anyone have details on Animal husbandry in alpha 2 yet? was gonna look into it yesterday

curious about how to get it goin

and where it is, the trainer

[stray gyro]

Im sure its been asked plenty of times. If you purchase wave one key. You able to play in wave 2-3 as well ?

[limber terrace]

more servers for November 8th?

[near stump]

It’s in the game. The cost is very high. 50 silver minimum per animal.

[near stump]

Maybe. No confirmed info rn.

[near stump]

Yes

[worthy olive]

yes and the betas as well

[stray gyro]

Sold 👍

[blissful comet]

hey just so you know it isnt a game to play as a final product, its for testing systems in the game and mostly fixing the servers when its overloaded. If you want to actually grind out the game wait another 2 years before you buy.

[stray gyro]

Im aware. Liking what i see and im not playing anything at the moment.

[ebon wagon]

or atleast 1+ years. we don't know how well the beta will be

I mean for all we know, the beta 2 itself could be so good that we don't even realise it is a beta. X)

right now the game is king, even with the bugs i had a blast playing. And if not for apparently the game getting a ddos attack. And being offline on weekdays.. i would be online right now gaming and feeling like a king.

[topaz fern]

What time on Friday does the alpha open back up?

[near stump]

It was 10am PT this week. Safe assumption is the same time until they tell us otherwise. But please don’t take time off work operating under that assumption.

[topaz fern]

I won’t take time off work to play an alpha 1 that’s mostly testing servers and grinding mobs. Dw. I’m just excited to play again

[pallid mauve]

Honestly, really enjoying the game so far. I already got my money's worth watching my friend run screaming across a field with a mimic hungrily spewing acid on his heels...

Haven't laughed that hard in game in a game forever

[near stump]

Head over to #alpha-two-general with comments

You’re in the questions help channel

[novel breach]

Hi there! I'm a kickstarter backer and this game recently came back onto my radar, is there a sort of summary anywhere of what the game's journey and current roadmap is like? I haven't checked in since 2019 and I'm curious to see what the development journey has been like and the timeline since it's been in Alpha for so long?

[tender hearth]

[near stump]

The wiki has a ton of info. If you have any specific questions let us know.

[tepid cedar]

can someone please explain me the money model? its 120 dollar for accessing the alpha I but it does not contain alpha II ?

[near stump]

It gives alpha 2 wave 1 access. Meaning you’ll get in on Nov 8th and be able to play for 18+ months.

[tepid cedar]

ah thats not clear that you get 18+ months access

atleast for me

thanks 🙂

[near stump]

You get access to all of alpha 2. The 18 months of access is from information in livestreams where they’ve said the third phase of alpha 2 will be atleast a year in duration.

[lucid shuttle]

Is there a way to retrospectively add a referral code to my account? I signed up without using it to purchase the alpha today and wanted to support who I got referred by 😅 oops

[vital thistle]

Made purchases back in 2020, any idea why it isnt allowing me to particiapte in the alpha 2?

[tulip hatch]

Servers are only open Friday 10am to Sunday 10pm

for phase 1

[vital thistle]

Thank you

[tulip hatch]

Afraid not friend

[spiral pine]

Phase 1 - Oct 25 - Dec 20 (Weekend tests only)
Phase 2 - Dec 20 - May 1 (5 days a week)
Phase 3 - May 1 onwards (24/7)

[lucid shuttle]

😢 Np! Was when the captcha wasnt working and accidently did it on a new tab instead of referral one. Ty though

[tulip hatch]

Yeah the captcha error is a common issue atm we have reported it to Intrepid
If the referral is important to you the only thing you can do is make a new account if you havent made any purchases on that on yet

[lucid shuttle]

It seems to be fine now 🙂 - np anyhow appreciate the help! Unfortunately i made the purchase as soon as i got logged in.

[twilit juniper]

During Phse 2 we are playing 5 days Steven ever said what days?????

[spiral pine]

weekdays

[light parcel]

Anybody got an email back from Intrepid yet about fixing alpha 2 keys for people who were having trouble... Been almost a week with no reply

Just about to say screw it and buy another alpha 2 key from November 8th and wait for them to fix my alpha 2 voyager later

[dusk isle]

What is the stance on Zergs? Are there any mechanics out or planned to prevent zergs from taking over the servers? Also, how about anything to promote small scale and group pvp?

[crystal beacon]

its an MMO, Zergs are part of MMORPGS

[vague thistle]

Less loot for zerg, and almost no TP so would be difficult to meet

[dusk isle]

I am aware it is an MMO. You either did not understand my question or do not know how to answer it. Are there any mechanics implimented or that will be implimented in the future to either lessen or discourage zergs?

[dusk isle]

gotcha, ty

I know zergs can ruin any MMO if they are able to. They can lock down spawns, take over majority of map, cause small group pvp to not be possible etc.

[vague thistle]

And also guilds will have to choose between different passive effects, in other words, a guild can choose to increase number of members in the guild, but it would miss the opportunity to have other cool passive effects

[crystal beacon]

they will do it dont worry

[dusk isle]

ahh wow nice!

[vague thistle]

Steven wants to prevent it as much as possible

[dusk isle]

i love it!

I appreciate your responses! When asking about mechanics for something, it surprises me when people either do not understand the question or they want to sabotage the question.

[vague thistle]

Yes same thoughts, and generaly these persons are even not well informed about the game

[dull prism]

Sorry if this question has been answered before... I have access on 11/8, I am able to download the launcher but when I login it says I don't have access to this testing phase... is this normal and will I be able to login on 11/8?

[vague thistle]

You answer is in your question dude haha, 11/8

[onyx igloo]

I know that Phase 1 of Alpha 2 is going to only be weekend uptime... how is Intrepid defining weekend uptime? Is it Friday night - Sunday night? or Saturday morning - Sunday night? Anyone know the actual times server will be up?

[dull prism]

Cool, I just wanted make sure I didn't need to open a support ticket, thanks

[vague thistle]

Friday 10am PST - Sunday 10pm PST

[onyx igloo]

Thank you! 🙂

[dull prism]

We plan to conduct Alpha Two Phase One during weekends. Realms will go live during the below date and time: (Click links to see these in your local time)
🔸 Friday, October 25, 2024 from 1:00 pm Pacific to Sunday, October 27, 2024 at 10:00 pm Pacific

[dusk isle]

That was for those who purchased much sooner in time

[dull prism]

True, I copied it just for the weekend timeframes

[dusk isle]

If you had recently purchased (since they re-opened the store), then you will start Nov 8th.

I am in the same boat as you are sir. 🙂

and am excited

[dull prism]

It's a nice boat!

[dusk isle]

yep

[dry shale]

what is the way to obtain mounts in AOC guys? are they given for fighting monsters/bosses? are they found? how arew they obtained?

[dusk isle]

much i still dont know so i like to come and ask questions. thankfully there are nice people like Nyronke to help us.

[vague thistle]

Quest and artisanship (animal husbandry)

[dry shale]

awesome ty m8

[vague thistle]

Have a look on the wiki you will get quite a lot of information about animal husbandry

[vague thistle]

With pleasure 💪🏼

[graceful gust]

Servers down yeah?

[shadow bluff]

Yup, weekend is over.

[graceful gust]

Next weekend back up?

[shadow bluff]

Tis the plan

[graceful gust]

Thanks mr Atom

[shadow bluff]

Enjoy your 5 days of touching grass until the weekend again

[graceful gust]

I do have some really nice grass textures mod in dragon age origins

but no I am about to go workout in the park.. as soon as I'm done playing dragon age origins

[modern trail]

Any word on PTR? I'm guessing we';ll hear once ddos is tackled?

[vague plover]

To make it fair for eu, are they going to be setting the servers live at 10am? So we can get the same amount of time as NA?

[desert ivy]

No, the servers go live at the same time for everyone

[near stump]

Everyone has different sleep and work schedules so it would never be “fair” for everyone. There are also people from OCE that would like the times to be different too as it ends for the early in the afternoon on Sunday.

[tranquil ferry]

• Wave bundles Start Nov 8Th

Employees also need to have sleep schedules. Doing chopped releases and server turn offs requires more manpower, money, and time. Doing it all at once allows all problems to be fixed on all servers altogether

[granite merlin]

Will Intrepid release the numbers for this weekends tests? like number of users etc?

[pale girder]

Jokes on you, its only 4 days. 😛

[clear mural]

Is there any plan for actual content to be released? I don't have as much time as other ppl it seems and spending my entire gaming time on the weekend grinding chapel to 15 does not sound appealing

[pale girder]

Has there been and discussion of them balancing the copper spawns? They are exceedingly painful to come by for being T1 req mats for so many recipies

[vernal moss]

Do the phases 1, 2, and 3 = alpha 2, beta 1, and beta 2 respectively?

[feral geyser]

nope, just alpha 2 phase 1, 2, three

[elder kestrel]

Is the repair bug known to the team? I was unable to repair a few peices of my gear for some reason even when I had the silver to do so.

[light vessel]

are all of these alpha tests weekends only?

[pale girder]

for now

[vernal moss]

Phase 1 - Oct 25 - Dec 20 (Weekend tests only)
Phase 2 - Dec 20 - May 1 (5 days a week)
Phase 3 - May 1 onwards (24/7)

So this is all alpha 2?

[pale girder]

until phase 2 in Dec

yes all alpha 2

[vague plover]

Seems silly, as NA get the longest time playing out of everyone

[lean gulch]

I got a question for mods or CM. If i want to feedback on my experience, the forum is the best place?

[vernal moss]

Hey thanks!

[hidden nymph]

the company is based in NA. doesn't seem that silly

[pale girder]

I mean everyone has the same time, just how it has to be utilized is the question

[clear mural]

should be. Most stuff has already been said, so I suppose you can go for a quick look there. Maybe they'll even read something on there

[vernal moss]

How do I open the alpha 2 chat channels?

[pale girder]

did you link your ashes account to your disc account?

[clear mural]

there's some link in read-me-first I think where you can link your account

[flat fossil]

is there going to be wipes for every phase?

[crystal beacon]

If you have the alpha 2 access for 8th november and linked your discord in the aoc website you will be able to write in alpha channels that day

[next schooner]

yeah i just don’t think my friend would actually let me buy it for him lol

[near stump]

Everyone in the world has the same 60 hour period to test the game.

[rotund fossil]

Hi, I cant find the download link for the game.

[digital sonnet]

Alpha Two is just planned to be up on Friday - Sunday. You can get more information, including download information, here: https://ashesofcreation.com/news/preparing-for-alpha-two

[ancient egret]

also make sure that if you have a alpha 2 pack that its not a wave 1 key since that is only for nov 8th not current testing

[lunar mauve]

guys do we know how summoner will work cause there is not mutch on wiki and main site ? or its still a mystery

[ancient egret]

everything we know is on the wiki about summoner

[summer ridge]

We know that we know nothing 🤣

[ancient egret]

there is a bit of info

[hallow swan]

summoner is slated for Phase III right?

[ancient egret]

yer

[hearty condor]

Is the alpha 2 going to only be on weekends?

[hallow swan]

until December 20th

[spiral pine]

Phase 1 - Oct 25 - Dec 20 (Weekend tests only)
Phase 2 - Dec 20 - May 1 (5 days a week)
Phase 3 - May 1 onwards (24/7)

[ancient egret]

Phase 2 is 5+

[hearty condor]

Are there certain hours before the 24/7 one as well?

[ancient egret]

Not that we know off yet

[spiral pine]

Weekdays

[timid hamlet]

Did anyone else randomly Ressurect after a death, it happenbed to me and and a few others i partied with. it wasn't a player resurrection, just clicking reapwn and bam, back to where you died

[ancient egret]

When did we get told that

[hearty condor]

Aight thanks I didn't get to play this one since I was busy and then when I did try I had to update my BIOS apparently with my processor being an I9

Idk if anyone else had that issue

But once that was resolved apparently they got DDOS??

[ancient egret]

they got DDOS'ed the last day yer

[oak wedge]

And the day before they figured a major issue that was also causing some lag... DDOS did not help the followed day 😅

[drifting kiln]

I love the world design and it’s beautiful as far as graphics go but did intrepid ever say anything about updating the character models they are somewhat lacking imo but also it’s alpha so I understand if that’s the last thing they polish.

[oak wedge]

It can only be better now

[ancient egret]

nearly everything you are watching is turned down a lot to keep performance so closer to beta's it will look a lot better

[glossy belfry]

Ahoy! I know servers are down but I was hoping to play with character creator offline like we could before pre-test servers were up. Is anyone able to sign in and see the squirrel? I’m getting permission denied and want to go ahead and reach out to support if it’s an account issue. Thanks 🙏

[drifting kiln]

Understandable thanks!

[ancient egret]

not possible

there auth servers are not online so you cant get to that step

[glossy belfry]

Gotcha, thank you!

[glad agate]

was there any fix for AoC and Discord linking together to see these secret discord links?

[keen grotto]

I hope the 5 days a week are like Wednesday-Sunday and not Monday-Friday 😅

[drifting flower]

i was thinking wednesday-sunday too. so devs have the weekend off and work on it mostly those 2 weekdays

[ancient egret]

im just gonna ask to be sure have you done what it tells you to do ?

[glad agate]

doesn't say if it is discord or aoc that needs verification

[ancient egret]

then try both XD

i have not seen that error before otherwise

[wintry pivot]

i guess it is discord

[glad agate]

I am not finding anything in discord to verify it. I get the error when i click this link

[wintry pivot]

did you put your phone number on discord?

[ancient egret]

if you cant find either discord or your ashes account missing to be verify'ed then i would send CS ticket at them tho there is likely a long que right now

!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

[inland flame]

weapon combo finisher means?

[ancient egret]

its something that you do after doing a specific amount of hits with a weapon it then does a special last attack

[inland flame]

ok thanks

can you give an example 2h sword might be like 4 auto swings? or 4 skills?

[ancient egret]

i would suggest to look in #alpha-two-general

[still storm]

is there gonna be a reset for phase 2?

[young rune]

Its probably best to assume so, and be pleasantly surprised if it isnt

[still storm]

i actually hope they are wiping

[young rune]

It would make the most sense to tbh

[still storm]

dont wanna switch on rougue and be out lvl by everyone

[velvet quest]

Will we be able to crouch like showcased in live streams?

[young rune]

That’s about why I thought that

[vague thistle]

But rogue will probably not be released at the start of P2

[dawn roost]

Did intrepid said anything about implementing more content to western Riverlands? Everything is located on the eastern part of the biom at the moment (like 90% of the craft NPC's, tons of farm spots, even much more spawn shrines)

[still storm]

oh damn

[west meteor]

Eventually more content will be added to the game - right now the focus is on performance and stability

Until phase 2 in December

[dawn roost]

I understand, just wanted to know if it is content finished in their head or not

eastern part is way more polished thats why I ask 😄

[cyan furnace]

Hello. I had an issue and wasn't able to upgrade my KS to get an Alpha2 key. I was just able to today, so all is good! Just checking - what's the schedule or where do I find it? Is it only weekends for now until Phase 2?

[coarse pivot]

this alpha phase is not possible to anyone to stream correct?

[cyan furnace]

nvm, just found the info - Phase I of testing will occur on weekends. Each weekend is scheduled to start on Fridays at 10 AM PT and end on Sundays at 10 PM PT. Find out more here.

[spiral pine]

Alpha-2 doesn't have an NDA

[candid thistle]

if i level a crafting option to the master level does anyone know if that option couts to 1 of the 4 journeyman and 1 of the 1 of the 5 apprentice certifications also?

or once you get master does that open up of of the journeyman certifications

[hasty fable]

Will there be combat pets in AoC?

[desert ivy]

Eventually yes, although a lot of people are against them

[sleek stratus]

which timeszone at 10 am

the us has multiple i guess

[desert ivy]

Pacific

[west meteor]

Western isn’t finished yet no - idk where that was stated but it was mentioned that western riverlands was only partially done

[strange yew]

I do too, but I don’t know what they need data on.

If they wipe… would they be in a place to have two biome starting areas to stress test? Or would they want all player starting in Lionhold like this time? Or a reworked Lionhold based on this weekends data? 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’m content to enjoy the ride and let them decide where to direct me for testing.

[desert ivy]

No

Because people want to help test it. Over 100,000 people had paid $250 for A2 access as of Jan 2023.

You're not "trying" the game, you're testing atm

The game is multiple years from release

95%+ of the content isn't in the game atm

[low ice]

yeah bare in mind you're taking on the role of a tester, less so actually playing the game. This is not gonna be for everyone.

[ancient egret]

thats a you issue

[desert ivy]

Then wait until release, you don't gain anything from testing it now

[strange yew]

Seems they’d rather have people willingly pay (and offset server costs for the next year or so) than have people volunteer to test

[boreal snow]

so am i right in thinking that the way the alphas are working is that they are opened every weekend from now until 20th December and then after that its will be every 5 days until May and then 24/7? 🙂

[vague thistle]

Yep

[strange yew]

says something about the state of the genre when people would rather pay for a vision than support an existing offering

[ancient egret]

what a tool

[alpine mirage]

what the issue here?

[desert ivy]

Just a guy crying about the alpha not being free

The usual

[analog notch]

His issue is other people are willing to pay for something he isn't and he can't accept his preferences being rejected by others. That's why he goes out of his way to get access to the Discord dedicated to what he doesn't like.

[low ice]

lol, the alpha being free and open to everyone would cause it to fail as a good test. The devs wouldn't get anything out of it. People seem to just not understand the purpose of an alpha test and what alpha even means.

[alpine mirage]

so his throwing a fit because people are investing into something?

[hallow swan]

Imagine his reaction to seeing something like Kickstarter

[opal fulcrum]

when does the game comeout? and will it be cheaper than the £100 packs im seeing or

[analog notch]

comes out in maybe 2-4 years and $15 a month

[low ice]

no box price, just sub from what I understand.

[opal fulcrum]

ah first time i seen a game for monthly payment interesting

[analog notch]

typical for MMOs

[hallow swan]

WoW and FFXIV do monthly payments but I know they have a limited free experience too

I dunno if AoC will be the same

[alpine mirage]

dont forgot eve online

alot so seems to be going the free to play with incentives for ingame purchases

[tulip egret]

aoc is monthly, no box price and no pay to win

[feral vector]

THey said monthly sub.

The games not out yet. So as always subject to change

[low ice]

yeah its possible they could have a limited f2p experience in the future but atm its sub

[wintry pivot]

i prefer monthly without a big cash shop

[low ice]

I'm super okay with a sub, keeps other crappy monetization approaches out of the game.

[hallow swan]

I wonder if monthly sub comes with an Ember package?

cos some games give you in-game currency with subs

[low ice]

I thiunk the embers will be separate from the sub, sub is just for access to the game and thats all.

[analog notch]

I'd like a box cost with reduced monthly payment to raise the barrier for entry of bots but it would also raise it for legit people interested in the game.

[feral vector]

no pay2win but there will likely continue to be some cosmetics. The very existence of the embers implies that you can spend them on something at some point.

[near stump]

Direct all feedback to the forums. No one here will be able to help you with your suggestions.

[iron ermine]

good glad you wont be in this game to ruin it

[keen grotto]

Their name changed lol

[grim hollow]

Can not login anymore to my account, tried to reset the pasword but i don't get the email! Any official help pls?

[merry chasm]

He sounds so upset

wth

[misty sluice]

#help ?

[keen grotto]

They left already, someone save the name to see if they are back in the future 😂

[sick elbow]

Send intepid support a email, there can help you

[hardy nebula]

can i move my game download from hard drive to ssd? or do i need to reinstall every thing?

[sick elbow]

Better reinstall. Maybe you make some corrupted files.

[hardy nebula]

i dont think i can reinstall with the ddos going on?

[sick elbow]

still ddos?

[steady jasper]

Should ping a moderator, that’s against ToS.

Can’t account share/sell

[sick elbow]

already did

[warm badge]

Will the Remnant Sympathizer Costume Cosmetic Skin be available again to purchase for those who bought the Voyager Pre-Order Pack? I can only see the mounts and the gloves on my shop right now

[arctic sky]

its exclusive and i do believe that they stopped upgrades to normal packs

so no

[sick elbow]

Sadly not

[maiden bridge]

I'm trying to purchase A2 access and it says my account isn't verified, but it won't resend the verification email, should I just remake my account or is there another way to manually send it?

[sick elbow]

You can try to make another account

[glossy vale]

For the ranger, why is it so slow to level up in the low levels? Additionally level 1 your attacks are quite weak

[arctic sky]

probably better to ask that in teh other channels.. its more of a discussion

[solar nimbus]

when does the other first wave of alpha two drop?

[patent tundra]

Nov 8

Nov 8, Dec 20, and May 1

[solar nimbus]

Dec 20 and May 1 are a first waves too?

I feel like they don't know how cardinals work

[patent tundra]

no.., that's when the waves drop

not just the first one 🙂

[short flint]

Have you opened up a support ticket (see below) to get assistance? Just an FYI - they are swamped with tickets from last weekends test, so the response times are a bit slow

!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]

The only issue I can think of though, is if you are wanting the Nov 8th Wave key, I believe it's sale is ending on Nov 1st. That's really close to coming up and i'm not sure if the support ticket will be answered/addressed by then. I don't have any advice for this scenario except reaching out to intrepid studios with the question "I meant to buy this on Oct 28th, but website access issues prevented me to doing it until Support fixed my account. Now I can't buy the First Wave key, what are my options?"

[maiden bridge]

I just opened a CS ticket a few minutes ago, if I don't hear back by then I'll just make a new account

[summer lynx]

Tickets are taking a long time to turn around

!verify

I thought there was a command for that bug wasn't there

[short flint]

You could try reaching out to one of the CM's at Intrepid with my question example I provided above. See if they might have an answer for you.

[keen notch]

Is first wave package only for the first phase?

And for the betas?

[lapis granite]

launcher is telling me permission denied now

[alpine forum]

Hi Rogue will be available in December ?

[plush patio]

Servers are down until Friday. Phase 1 testing is Fri-Sun

[lapis granite]

that'll do it

lol

[ornate bison]

ashes Withdrawal symptoms...

its bad

[plush patio]

Yeah, this is rough 😆

[keen notch]

Nvm it isn't

[near stump]

Not likely. They said it’ll be released part way into Phase 2

[digital walrus]

I'm trying to login to my account but everytime I click sign up or login it just refreshes the page and does nothing. Sometimes it does work and I can get to the login page and put in my info but after clicking sign in it just goes back to the home page of ashes of creation without me being signes in. I've tried 3 different browsers aswell as my phone and I want to get the November 8th access key so I have to buy it before November 1st and am worried I'll miss out anyone know a fix to this problem?

[wintry pivot]

did you try to delete your cookies

[digital walrus]

I tried it on my phone and had same result so I feel as tho that's not the problem has anyone else had this same problem?

[junior shell]

I would suggest you contact support
https://support.ashesofcreation.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[echo grove]

Are you sure you're not signed in? Check top right corner of webpage for your username, it litertally defaults to homepage even after sign in..

[junior shell]

also .. you can only see the logged in account, when you're scrolled all the way to the top

[digital walrus]

I've put in a support ticket 2+ days ago and Ik it said they've got alot traffic rn with support tickets so I'm coming here for help now in hopes to fix it

[junior shell]

what if you go to
https://ashesofcreation.com/account

[digital walrus]

gives me this PAGE NOT AVAILABLE

We’re currently facing a technical issue, and this page cannot be displayed. Please try again later. If the problem continues, contact customer support.

[junior shell]

Well that's weird .. seems like you're half logged in .. otherwise it would redirect you to a login page

Maybe blocked by cfloudflare due to the DDOS .. anyway for you to access from a different IP? .. were you on mobile data or wifi when accessing from your mobile?

[digital walrus]

wifi maybe I should try data that's an idea

[ornate bison]

if i only have the alpha 2 key , i wont be able to log in to the nda server?

[junior shell]

correct

[iron ermine]

they go by phases. November 8th is the 1st phase. dec 20th is 2nd and so on

[paper lynx]

i played a bit of ranger and its much faster than melee tbh. The game is just a slow lvl game like back in the day. Rangers actually lvl fast compared to other classes by being able to kite more damage. The speed of leveling is greatly slowed by having to sit to recover hp and mana. at least these were my findings playing solo

for reference i played fighter as well

[digital walrus]

sigh it's still happening even with data

[junior shell]

I guess your account may be locked somehow 😐

[paper lynx]

i wouldnt worry about it. We were all getting permision errors etc. Their servers took a pounding

[junior shell]

well he's trying to buy alpha before the sale closes 😐

[glossy vale]

@paper lynx when in doubt, range as melee ends up being slaughtered as THERE IS NO BALANCING yet. I am wondering what class as the second to play as

[paper lynx]

i just wanna play conjurer tbh

i like playing fill roll

[paper lynx]

ah i see

@digital walrus try clearing the cache and cookies /stored data on your browser and then close browser and try again, or try using an incognito browser window

when you go to the site it will likely have a capcha to make sure you are human, if that isnt populating it could be antivirus, firewall or pop up blocker as well.

[digital walrus]

hhhmmm

[paper lynx]

try a different browser as well

firefox is my go to when shit is being weird

No captcha unless you are trying to sign in, if the webpage isn't even being found, that's an issue on your end with something.. site is working properly atm

[cobalt cipher]

hi all, is alpha 2 still available to purchase and play? just want to triple check haha

[paper lynx]

https://ashesofcreation.com/shop looks like it

[cobalt cipher]

oh access from november 8

and with purchase of wave1, do you access the full alpha until beta?

[echo grove]

Each bundle has listed end date for purchase or until packs alst

[echo grove]

yes

[near stump]

It contains the full alpha, plus the betas

[cobalt cipher]

thanks @echo grove ! 🙂

also thanks @near stump

[visual trout]

what is the game time - 1 months about?

[cobalt cipher]

im assuming thats the subscription when its fully released

?

[paper lynx]

the current keys dont come with game time for launch i dont think

those were the kick starter packs

if i remember correctlyt

[cobalt cipher]

first wave bundle has 1month gametime

all do actually

[paper lynx]

oh interesting

[near stump]

Everyone who has purchased access to alpha 2 at any point has obtained some amount of game time for when the game launches.

[chrome cedar]

What phase of Alpha 2 is the $125 pack? Shop just says Alpha 2 not phase of Alpha 2.

[silent crescent]

11/8/24

[near stump]

There is not and has never been an $125 pack. Do you see something for $125 in your shop as an upgrade?

[wintry pivot]

the most expensive i saw was 120

[near stump]

Those who have purchased access a long time ago and are logged in may see other options

[chrome cedar]

Ahh researching for a guildy. I have a long ago pack. Got to play Friday last week.

[near stump]

Yes so that’s an upgrade. You spent $250 in the past and already have alpha 2 access which started on 10/25/2024

You can play the game this weekend

There should be a download button in the top right corner for you on the website. Follow #alpha-two-news for server uptime info

[chrome cedar]

Crap went back and looked. looks like I fat fingered. he got the 120 pack

[near stump]

The $120 pack has access on 11/8 lol

[chrome cedar]

Cool. Okay. Thanks hoss. Getting old sucks.

[hollow sphinx]

is there a seperate discord for PTR?

[tawdry swallow]

Can we get a list of chat commands please?>

I only know /dance

[near stump]

Link your discord to gain access to what you should have access to. #read-me-first explains how

[fluid jewel]

Obligatory "sorry if its already been asked" but, any idea when summoner will be available to play?

[near stump]

Phase 3 (May 2025 or later)

[fluid jewel]

so long D:

[near stump]

Rogue is next

Jan - Feb 2025 ish

[fluid jewel]

summoner > rogue 😡

side question, does that mean choosing those options as subclasses or secondary classes are also unavailable?

[near stump]

Subclasses won’t be in the game until phase 3

[fluid jewel]

thanks

[near stump]

Lvl cap is 25 right now

[fluid jewel]

i had no idea lol

my pickaxe broke, wiki says i need a player run shop to repair it. Is that true? am i just done mining until a node advances lol

[vague thistle]

Go to any vendors, at bottom left of the windows there is an icon that is dedicated to repair ur stuff

[fluid jewel]

life saver

[idle wing]

how to join the Alpha?

[gusty bear]

😮

[queen hound]

Buy a key https://ashesofcreation.com/shop

[queen hound]

See also https://ashesofcreation.com/news/alpha-two-wave-bundles

[half mulch]

Does that key only last one month?

[queen hound]

You will have access until release. See also https://ashesofcreation.com/news/alpha-two-wave-bundles

[half mulch]

Ah thank you

[fossil pine]

if you bought the first wave will there be an email nov 8 to download/get into the game?

[wild eagle]

yes. thats how they say it will be.

[weak abyss]

once i buy a key, where do i get the launcher to install game?

i dont see it

[upbeat elk]

The 'join the alpha' button with change to something like download launcher

[weak abyss]

ok

maybe it just takes time

still says join

[weak abyss]

oooooohh

[slender jacinth]

can i upgrade from the phase 2 pack to the phase 1?

[plush patio]

I don't believe so. You could email support and ask if they'll refund your Phase 2 key after you buy the Phase 1 key. If you bought it recently they might do it.

[idle wing]

this isnt assciatted with a NDA correct? we are free to stream it till beta?

[arctic sky]

the normal a2 is not under NDA

[polar thicket]

Is the shop working?

We have someone that is trying to buy the p2 key and the shop shows up empty if he is logged in but stuff shows up if he logs out which isn't helpful lol

[mighty raven]

tell him to clear his cookies/cache maybe

[polar thicket]

i will pass this along. thanks

[echo grove]

JUST GO TO JOIN THE ALPHA AND SCROLL TO BOTTOM OF PAGE TO PURCHASE BUNDLES THERE, SHOP IS EMPTY FOR ME TOO BUT CAN SEE BUNDLE/PURCHASE OUT OF SHOP

caps

[polar thicket]

Thx

[leaden zephyr]

@idle siren Like Jeopardy and keeping with the channel. Will you add me to the internal test group?:)

[distant cypress]

Has anyone else’s pc getting blue screen of death after alpha two phase 1 ? I don’t wanna blame AOC but it’s literally the only new software that’s been on my computer I’ve had now for several years

[quick crow]

whats the message on the bkue screen >

blue'

[distant cypress]

It won’t boot rn but I’ll take a picture when it does

It went into automatic repair I’ll keep giving updates

[ancient egret]

you are the first person that i have seen report anything like this so not likely but its not impossible

[distant cypress]

I looked it up seems there are very few people having this issue

[ancient egret]

looks like its a issue then lets hope that its fixed bye next weekend and there should be no damage to your pc if it was just a kernel security failure you would have to be rly rly rly unlucky to have that do any damage

[distant cypress]

Hopefully so, thanks

[misty garnet]

So does anyone know if the build we are currently playing is an older one? It seems intentionally bare for the phase one tests.

[desert ivy]

Our build will always be behind the dev branch build, but no I don't think it's really "old"

The current build has almost everything from the Phase 1 slide for example

[oblique robin]

At this time, do we know if the DDoS issue has been fully addressed? I guess what I'm trying to ask is, is the start time for this upcoming playtest tentative?

[gentle narwhal]

Hello, is there any customer support in here? I accidentally setup 2FA to what I thought would go to my gmail, but I'm not getting any code and am basically locked out of my account now. Didn't realize it needed to be a specific app, the camera app just let it go through and now I cant find a code anywhere

[near agate]

didn't get it on ur Google Autenticator?

[gentle narwhal]

I thought the code they showed was a one time password, not something we needed to keep. I can't setup google auth retroactively now

[ancient egret]

your best shot tho the wait is likely pretty long

[gentle narwhal]

TY!

[sharp ibex]

Can i have my name change timeout reset please? Looking to put my guild name in the server profile

[tepid peak]

It was explained it would be bare. They removed lots of components so they could test the core and get it locked in. Are they fix the base stuff, they will introduce more. It would probably be too overwhelming to work on if they gave us 100% of the stuff up front

[ancient egret]

you would have to dm a mod to ask this is a place to ask the community and we sadly dont have mod powers XD

Just DM a mod and they will help you. They tend to change names to add guild tags. The 30 day timer was put in because people were impersonating others and making offensive names and then swapping them back out to avoid consequences after their conversations meant to incite were over.

[marble river]

Hi all - stupid question. I do not see the download option for the Launcher on the ashes page, I have the first wave package. Assuming the download option will come back "live" prior to Nov 8? Sorry if this question has already been asked.

[ancient egret]

yes you get to download the 8th

[crystal beacon]

I read somewhere that those that had access to the Pre-Alpha 2 from Thursday have access to the PTR. Is this true?

[eternal stirrup]

Is the Alpha going to be available during the week after November 8th or just in the weekend? I took an entire week off to test and heard it's only weekends.

[pliant fern]

Only weekends buddy that is unfortunate lol

Until December then it goes into 5 days

[eternal stirrup]

Well fuck me

[stable plover]

A private test realm that's under visual NDA exists. Access to it is more limited than the pre-alpha 2 test from Thursday.

[crystal beacon]

yeah, only goes to 5 days on December 20th

[eternal stirrup]

I played myself

[mighty raven]

Can I get some of that sweet ptr access? pwetty pwease

[desert ivy]

Phase 1 - Oct 25 - Dec 20 (Weekend tests only)
Phase 2 - Dec 20 - May 1 (5 days a week)
Phase 3 - May 1 onwards (24/7)

[stable plover]

I can't grant access to that.

[fiery kayak]

Quick question: will the world of Verra feature a Capital City ruled by a king or queen?

[ancient egret]

other then a player decided Capital City no there wont there are castels that can be taken over that gives owner the title of king or queen

[grim breach]

Did you delete the entry from your 2FA app? Also @grave harbor can you let the team know that it's probably a good idea to have a recovery code after setting up the 2FA? Most platforms do this in case the user need to recover their account.

[sleek sky]

Which realm was most populated?

[near stump]

We don’t know. All NA ones seemed similar while EU was much less populated based on queue times.

[hidden wolf]

For the Tulnar race is there only the 3 main race hybrids (ape, wolf, lizard??) or are there more/what are they?

[stable plover]

We only expect the three. There have been what are probably just jokes about others over the years. Checking back in May might get you a firmer answer.

[languid cipher]

Any idea if the PTR will go live for Alpha 2 testers in the near future?

[glossy reef]

I have heard that if you prove to be a very good tester, apparently Steven has been willing to boost people to higher tiers, but it's unlikely for that to happen on a large scale

[royal arrow]

so servers down only to play on the weekend?

[ancient egret]

yes

[somber summit]

do we need to do anything other than connect our discord to the site to get our roles here for Alpha?

[ancient egret]

not that i know of but sometimes it wont work tho not sure how to fix it when it does not

[stable plover]

Well the other thing you would need than just connecting discord to site would be the role on the site side. If you've tried connecting and should have the role, make sure you have the correct discord linked, manually unlink and the reconnect. Wave 1 packs don't currently get a role on the discord (Wave 1 packs get access Nov 8th).

[misty garnet]

It's odd because I'm a wave one and see all the channels

[stable plover]

Everyone in the discord can see the channels in the Alpha Two category, but only people currently in testing can post there.

[misty garnet]

Aaaaah

My bad

[mint mountain]

what are the rules about cheating/client tampering? since its an alpha, am I authorized to find exploits and report them or will I get flagged and banned?

[storm pine]

They can likely tell if you find and report, test 2-3 times to verify steps of exploit and report, vs using exploit 100 times.

I suspect they'd handle each scenario differently.

[stable plover]

Finding bugs and reporting them is heavily encouraged. Finding a bug that's exploitable, not reporting it, and using it a bunch can get you in trouble. Intrepid doesn't mind if you change your config files. Intrepid does mind if you make changes to other game files. I'll post a picture in a moment. There are a lot of things Intrepid does not really need help with (Intrepid doesn't really need you to DDOS the servers to help with their preparation for that, Intrepid doesn't need you to use the server crash bug more often than it takes you to figure out what happened to report it). If your some kind of semi-professional hacker, talk about it to a CM instead of me.

[tranquil ferry]

Can you as a bard use your melody skills while on horseback?

Or mounted?

[stable plover]

Ongoing buffs on you should keep going while your on horseback. New ones are not castable while on horseback. Mounts have their own abilities to use separate from player class abilities that are the only ones that can be used while mounted.

[tranquil ferry]

Lore wise, being able to play music while riding my mount would make sense. But thank you for the quick answer.

[stable plover]

Intrepid have talked about having emotes associated with mounts/pets (petting, hugging, or playing are the given examples) so maybe someday mounted emotes could expand into any emote that could work on a mount and maybe some kind of music emote could show up, but that's a lot of maybes that say not happening anytime soon.

[misty garnet]

Greypelt since the verbal nda for the ptr is released could you clarify the differences between the alpha and the ptr? Is there a difference?

I'm asking in terms of content, stability, graphical fidelity, etc. etc.

[lavish jolt]

Good morning, I saw on the website that the Rogue and Summoner class are planned. Has there been any indication which test they are hoping to release them for?

[stable plover]

There were differences is all I'm personally going to say atm.

[misty garnet]

I think Phase 2

[misty garnet]

No worries, I appreciate it.

[random trench]

Hi, I'm in the november 8th wave. Can I download the client now?

[misty garnet]

No, you're gonna have to wait sadly

[random trench]

I'll wait sadly then

[misty garnet]

possibly the 7th is my guess

You should see it on the main page of the website so just keep and eye out

[stable plover]

Rogue phase 2 , Summoner phase 3 - Phase 2 starts Dec. 20th, Wave 3 starts May 1st 2025. Not all of the listed content will come out at the begining of the phases (So Rogue may not come out Dec 20th, but should be available before May 1st), Updates are approximately minor every 3 weeks and major every 6.

[desert ivy]

Steven said during one of the recent CC interviews that Rogue would probably be a January or February release

[bronze sable]

Did we ever get mentioned if we're going to get racial influenced node names together with racial influenced designs, or are nodes going to always be called the same?

[lavish jolt]

Thank you

[warped meteor]

I have a question, do the stats of the weapons/off-hands, equiped in the 4 slots available, influence your power, regardless of which weapon is actively being used?
Does anyone know this?

[golden glacier]

Both sets affect your character's stats, regardless of which is currently active.

[warped meteor]

Thank you!

[manic heart]

wondering if theres something else i need to do to gain access to sending messages in alpha 2 channels? can view them but cant post anything
nvm i connected discord lol

[stable plover]

A very long time ago it was mentioned that maybe mayors could pick node names from a pre-determined list, but Intrepid might have moved away from that.

[latent saffron]

whens the alpha back up? i didnt get a chance tplay this weekend

[ancient egret]

its every weekend

from friday to sunday

[latent saffron]

oh right, thanks !

[bronze sable]

Would be cool and add a bunch more uniqueness to each server

[half zealot]

where can I find a caravn if I get the quest to defend/attack them?

[bronze sable]

Caravans are ran by other players

So hard to answer

[half zealot]

yes i know, but how to defend them if I dont know where they are

are they staring at the node at the moment i get the quest?

[summer lynx]

Yes, https://ashesofcreation.com/news/alpha-two-roadmap-and-ama

[half zealot]

i am totaly clueless how to find the caravan

[half summit]

Is someone able to explain to me how exactly I can make money from caravans? Do I have to farm up resources and transport them or...

[echo patio]

Hello can anyone guide me here.
I have bought the first wave package. Linked my account to discord.
I do not get a download option after following everything. Please help 😅

[half zealot]

I think if your DC is linked you should see the alpha two channels with the download link of the launcher

[torn dagger]

Wait, you find legendary items already ? 👀

[echo patio]

Yes i do and I click the link but still nothing

It says "Join Alpha" even though I definitly have the package

[summer lynx]

Yes, because you bought the first wave package, which starts on November 8th.

[echo patio]

Ohhhhhhh righttt

My bad then

Apologies thankyou!

[keen copper]

Will there be a wipe in December or May?

[vague thistle]

Hey, do we know if that's supposed to work in this way or if that's a bug actually ?

[sleek stratus]

Right now u cant make money with caravans i guess as there is no rare ressource.

[golden glacier]

I believe it's intended that way.

[vague thistle]

Ty

[tulip lark]

they said wipes can accure in alpha whenever needed

[sudden nebula]

Was wondering if there was any thoughts about giving the tank and cleric some hevey synergies since the tank adn cleric should be buddies like more damge if they do an ablity and the other uses the mark?

[bronze sable]

Well players create them and run them to move resources. There isn't really a way for us to tell you where to find one.

There will be a popup when a caravan starts and you can join as a defender or an attacker

[half zealot]

yes, and when the popup comes, the caran is basicly starting at the town I am at the moment?

[visual crystal]

Hi everyone, this might be a obvious question but I want to ask anyway. Is there a way to get key other than paying 120$ ? for some regions this is way to much

[keen copper]

be lucky in giveaways

[visual crystal]

Does the ashes of creation make those giveaway themself ?

I'm trying to understand where to look 😄

to their website or streams ?

[keen copper]

here was one

[mystic knot]

[stable plover]

Intrepid does giveaways themselves, occasionally people in the community will give stuff away out of their own pocket, occasionally Intrepid gives keys to people in the community to giveaway. Some twitch streamer (can't remember who atm) gave out 5 this past weekend.

[abstract swift]

I played alpha 2 on my old computer, but once I got my new computer, I downloaded it the launcher on that one. It keeps giving me a permission error. Is it because I downloaded it on a different computer or the installer is down?

[stable plover]

I currently expect it to be the installer server being down, especially if it's the 'try again later' version of the permission error.

[spiral pine]

Phase 1 - Oct 25 - Dec 20 (Weekend tests only)
Phase 2 - Dec 20 - May 1 (5 days a week)
Phase 3 - May 1 onwards (24/7)

[stable plover]

(There are other reasons that error occurs though)

[summer lynx]

Pretty likely yes

[stable plover]

Intrepid has announced that wipes will happen as needed for testing. Could they happen every weekend? Could they happen between test phases? Could they not happen until launch? Maybe.

[summer lynx]

I'm like 95% sure there was a quote that a wipe is happening before P2

[stable plover]

If there was, I'd assume it's in a CC interview I missed. If you can source one let me know because a quote hasn't made it to the wiki yet.

[civic blade]

Everyone at Intrepid getting some rest after all that crunch? Remember, it's a marathon, not a sprint. Get that good sleep and take care of your health.

[main shadow]

I forgot to report an Ai pathong bug on the weekend. Where can I report it now?

[hallow torrent]

Is it possible to get grand master certification in 2 professions from 2 different artisan branches?

[vague thistle]

ATM yes, subject to change

[lean hinge]

Hello, does anyone know when the Ashes released??

[latent orbit]

Ohhh no, is Alpha closed? :<

[summer lynx]

It's only available Fri/Sat/Sun during phase 1

[summer lynx]

Minimum 2 years, likely 3-4, could be longer. No real hard data.

[bronze sable]

Alpha 2 is going to go on for 1-1.5 years alone probably

[harsh raptor]

Hopefully by then beta won't need too much more and will last another year or so

27?! 28?!

[bronze sable]

2027 is a reasonable guess, but like 2 years ago I though 2025 was a reasonable guess 😂

[summer lynx]

It runs for a minimum of 1 year after the start of phase 3, which doesn't start until May 2025

Then Beta 1 and Beta 2

[harsh raptor]

Tbh I think times have changed though

[summer lynx]

Plus whatever time they need after those

[harsh raptor]

I didn't realize but apparently they kickstarted with a small team of 12 back in 2017 😂 like..that's wild

[bronze sable]

Was ut specified that phase 3 would run a year or alpha 2 would run a year, cuz I don't remember tbh

[summer lynx]

Phase 3

[harsh raptor]

them being up in the 200s now(potentially more). means we might be able to expect the game sooner rather than later

[bronze sable]

Kk that case 1.5 - 2 years

[summer lynx]

Steven specifically said that A2 runs for one year after the start of phase 3 at a minimum, plus the betas, plus whatever time they need, so even assuming no major delays happen, absolute minimum that's even vaguely reasonable is 2 years

[harsh raptor]

but tbh. I don't see why they need to rush it. graphics definitely won't be outdated with UE5. They're already putting in systems inplace you don't really see in other MMO's and It's not like there's other MMO's on the horizon in the west anyways so 🙃

[summer lynx]

But delays WILL happen, and the betas are likely not being sprinted through in 6 months

[harsh raptor]

I'd rather have them take the time. come with a polished product that's legit no p2w and you can actually have fun in

[summer lynx]

So really, do not be surprised if it takes 3-4 years, and be aware that it may well take longer than that

[harsh raptor]

Yeeeah that's definitely fair

[summer lynx]

We'll have a far better idea of how long this is going to take once A2 has been going for a while

[latent orbit]

Thanks for info!

[harsh raptor]

Also think P3 will be a good showcasing since servers will be running 24/7 then in 25

[crude cairn]

It's not that uncommon for games to be in development for so long tho

Look at Path of Exile 2 for instance

[valid copper]

If i bought the wayfarer pack for beta 2 for 75$ can i upgrade it now for 25$ and get alpha access?

[crude cairn]

I upgraded for $50 @valid copper

Where did you see a price of $25?

[summer lynx]

If you upgrade to the appropriate pack that has A2 access

[valid copper]

How can i do it?

[limber pond]

Is the information on server population public yet? Anyone know?

[harsh raptor]

Last I heard was 10k

[limber pond]

preciate it homie

[valid copper]

How to upgrade?

[summer lynx]

Are you logged into your account on the website and on the store page

[harsh raptor]

np

are the keys gone?

[valid copper]

Yes

[summer lynx]

Do you see anything in the store

[robust kraken]

is this game playable in solo mode? like no guild no party?

[summer lynx]

Technically yes but you are going to be a lot slower than groups/guilds and there is going to be content that you just will not be able to participate in solo

[atomic night]

I will answer your question with another question: Are you a cleric?

Because clerics are BEASTS

[robust kraken]

just planning to be summoner

[atomic night]

And can fight forever

Hard to say since they do not exist yet

If you're planning on being solo it will likely come down to class combo and build as to how viable it is

Also your personal efficiency at grinding

[west mango]

if alot stuff get behind pvp = you can't solo it

[summer lynx]

It's not even about being behind PVP

It's about the mobs will fuck you up and there is a strong emphasis on group play

[crystal beacon]

Is the game possible to play now?found tons of vids of gameplay from the last 24 hours but the site store only shows that the first wave will start in November

[summer lynx]

It IS possible to solo SOME of the content in the game, but it is not possible to solo everything or nearly everything

[summer lynx]

Kickstarter backers and pack buyers were in on the 25th, wave bundles are nov 8th

[crystal beacon]

Oh so ig its impossible to buy it now?

[robust kraken]

alright, thanks for the inputs guys.. 🙏

[summer lynx]

To buy packs, yes

To buy wave keys, no

[atomic night]

Hopefully we will see summoner soon as I'm curious on their take on the archetype

[summer lynx]

You can buy wave 1 up until like 10AM PST on Nov 1st

Or somewhere near that

[rigid quiver]

Are you able to access the game? My game won't start at all. Getting some network socket error, host rejected connection something that I can't copy because the launcher freezes

[summer lynx]

Phase 1 is Fri/Sat/Sun only

[spiral pine]

Phase 1 - Oct 25 - Dec 20 (Weekend tests only)
Phase 2 - Dec 20 - May 1 (5 days a week)
Phase 3 - May 1 onwards (24/7)

[rigid quiver]

Oh I completely missed that so won't be able to access it until 20/12?

[spiral pine]

Next time is Nov 1st

It's every weekend until Dec 20th

[coarse wasp]

8 nov tho for people who bought 120 dollar pack

[rigid quiver]

Good to know thanks!

[sleek cove]

I'd recommend reading the Alpha Access description to save yourself a headache later when you find out you have no access yet 😉

[summer lynx]

https://ashesofcreation.com/news/alpha-two-roadmap-and-ama

[rigid quiver]

Meh im not too bothered, bought one of the supporter packs way back. 😄

[frail vapor]

have some guild have bug with war guild??

have

[copper token]

I changed GPU and probably need new shaders. Should I delete game or I can just delete shaders and Ashes Of Creation will create them again on 1st login?

[frail vapor]

how we call modo pls?

we

im french sorry 😛

have more modorator here 😛

so its for result prob maybe

[spiral pine]

Yes there are bugs with guild wars

[frail vapor]

ty:P

[modern trail]

Shame we can't get in to test ptr

[frail vapor]

i dont need modo anymore^^

[hallow swan]

So level cap is 25 now right? does that mean augments are accessible, or have they not been implemented yet?

[spiral pine]

Not in yet

[hallow swan]

Damn, any ETA on when they are?

[spiral pine]

During Phase-3

[frail vapor]

ok excuse me 😛

[worn compass]

I can't type in Alpha 2 general

[spiral pine]

https://ashesofcreation.com/account/connections

[slim fractal]

Probably a dumb question that's been answered already. Are the download servers down? I'd like to get the game installed before heading out for work today (I'm a truck driver) I'd rather not have to burn thru my mobile hotspot data if possible.

[near stump]

Looks like a potential broken role for you. You have pre alpha 2, but not alpha 2. Id disconnect and reconnect your discord using an incognito window and see if that fixes it.

[spiral pine]

They're off

Servers are coming back online on Friday

[near stump]

You can still download though Arc, right?

[spiral pine]

I'll check

[slim fractal]

I know the game servers are down. But last week we were able to preinstall on Wednesday. So that's why I was asking specifically about the download servers.

[worn compass]

I did that again but didn't help

[worn compass]

How do I go incognito? I'm on mobile

[near stump]

On chrome, you click the tabs button at the bottom and it’s the top left button

[worn compass]

That's because they ran a stress test

[fallen thistle]

No, game streaming is a pretty standard tool, it's not interfering with the game, simply redirecting the video output and keyboard/mouse input to another device is not with things like EAC are looking for...

[spiral pine]

Doesn't let me download right now

[mossy nova]

Hello guys, i want to ask if I get the Alpha Phase 2 second wave, how many and which days will I actually have the opportunity to test the game and report a bug accordingly. Because the package says 5+ days, what does that mean from Monday to Friday? or friday to tuesday? And, realistically, how long will the testing last. Thank you, preemptively!

[west meteor]

I don’t think the specific days have been mentioned but M-F is most likely

[near stump]

I remember F-Tu being mention. But ya nothing confirmed either way

[slim fractal]

Welp time to just move the files from my desktop to my laptop then, and do a file repair on friday. Thanks!

[slim fractal]

I'd think that's a bit counter intuitive. I'd assume its Wednesday thru Monday or Thursday thru Tuesday To give people the weekend. More people available for it.

[lavish jolt]

Hey I know this question is kinda out there. Yesterday there was a gentleman on Twitch streaming under Ashes of Creation as a basic Q&A stream. I was watching but forgot to follow. Does anyone know who he may have been since he was pretty informative and reasonable with his discussion.

[wise lion]

It says 5+, so it could very well be as many as 7 days a week too

But at the very minimum it's 5 days

[near stump]

A lot of people have been streaming AoC recently. You could get a dozen different names

[fallen thistle]

I'm afraid I didn't see your message in context, but if you're referring to whether the game will work with Proton, rather than if there will be a native Linux build... at this point I think it depends if Intrepid want to permit this... since when using EAC it relies on the vendor ticking the box to allow include the Linux EAC support.

I looked at the Alpha 2 platform, and as usual the launcher will be harder to make work with Proton than the game, as they appear to have used Microsoft Webview2, and historically Microsoft have always made tools like this extremely hard to run with Wine/Proton... far be it from me to say that this is deliberate... but it /is/ true that Pax Dei runs fine on Linux with Proton and that game also uses UE5 and EAC.

[lavish jolt]

Yeah, Im trying to browse through the yesterdays videos, I think I may have actually just found his channel

[summer lynx]

It was vaguely said that the off days are likely two days out of Tues/Wed/Thursday

But it may change and it's not a guarantee

[mossy nova]

Right

[worn compass]

That worked, thanks!

[mossy nova]

Thanks, anyway @summer lynx

[spice pollen]

Quick question: Does Ashes have any plans for you to play multiple classes on the same character? I understand you can use each sub-class. Will I be able start as a tank and level to 10 and then switch to Bard at level 1? Similar to FF14 system

[fallen thistle]

@rain imp I think it would be a shame at this point if Intrepid did not allow the game to run via Proton once the final version is released, after all by then there will likely be a "Steam Deck 2" etc... but for now it's probably a low priority.

[rain imp]

wholeheartedly agree. considering the direction of the market that things seem to be going for the platform at large.

[near stump]

No

[near stump]

You can make multiple characters to do this

[spice pollen]

I think there is an opportunity to adapt that system, for numerous reasons I won't post here.. where is the best place to provide suggestions? General Discussion forums?

[dark jungle]

yes the forums is probably the best place

[cobalt ferry]

anybody who knows the exact online Times of the servers this weekend?

[cobalt ferry]

thx

[rough wing]

I know this has been asked 1000 times but what’s the deal? I’m paying $120 to support and play test the alpha for only 7 days?..

[spiral pine]

Phase 1 - Oct 25 - Dec 20 (Weekend tests only)
Phase 2 - Dec 20 - May 1 (5 days a week)
Phase 3 - May 1 onwards (24/7)

[rough wing]

Ok so I purchase today and then I can only play on the weekends up until Dec 20? Got it

[spiral pine]

You'll be part of every phase

[rough wing]

Ya but when I purchase today if I understand you correctly. I can’t log on till this Friday, yes?

[hushed rover]

Yes. You and everybody else

[spiral pine]

Next Friday

[rough wing]

Ok cool. Thank you guys! Appreciate your time

[spiral pine]

Since Nov 8th is next Friday

[rough wing]

Yes sorry. Long days at work I’m surprised I know my own name sometimes.

And the general consensus is we are about 2-3 years out from a “release”? Or are we considering May 1st (24/7 servers) release. Guess it depends on what type of gamer you are ? Lol

[spice pollen]

We are years away from release. May 1st is still Alpha

This isn't early access... It's alpha testing

[rough wing]

Understood thank you

[spice pollen]

They expect Alpha 2 Phase 3 to last at least a year

[digital walrus]

bought the access key for November 8th can you install the launcher now and preload the game or nah? I'm not seeing anywhere on the site to do that

[spiral pine]

You'll be able to closer to the 8th

[digital walrus]

o ok

also is there oce servers up yet anyone know like actual oce sydney or melbourne I don't want 200 ping japan servers like with throne and liberty

[spare brook]

Currently only US and EU servers

[spiral pine]

Only NA central and EU west at the moment

[digital walrus]

damn what would be best to pick or does it auto?

[crystal beacon]

In case theyll close alpha 2 and open another alpha would u need to purchase a pack again?let alone a 100$+ pack

You can use these commands in any channel. Please reserve this channel for questions. I don’t think anyone in the community has an answer to your questions without being in game and being able to test it.

[merry chasm]

yea and i used it in this channel, whats the problem? are you the discord police?

https://tenor.com/view/bad-boys-bad-boys-what-you-gonna-do-cops-singing-cruising-gif-15028098

[strange yew]

Hey Yianni! Keep in mind we only have skills through lvl 25 at the moment.

Who knows what gets changed in what we have and what new stuff gets added with more levels (and classes)

[merry chasm]

there's a question up there too

[merry chasm]

yea but i dont see other skills that apply demoralizes

[crystal beacon]

is access to the game down?

[merry chasm]

arent all skills even past 25 in ythe wiki and in game?

[near stump]

Servers are only up on weekends

[near stump]

Friday 10am PT - Sunday 10pm PT

[merry chasm]

so youre a wannabe mod here? <---- notice this is a question

[spiral pine]

They are not

[digital walrus]

max level is 25 rn right when will they increase it? I know it takes a fair while to even get to 25 but I plan the play the heck out of this game

[near stump]

Max level will be 50

Eventually you'll get your secondary archtype at lvl 25

But that's not in the game yet

[digital walrus]

yea I heard that aswell but will they only increase level cap to 50 upon full game release? or no news on that yet?

[near stump]

All features will be added to the game in Alpha 2 at some point when those features are ready.

[digital walrus]

oo so that's how you get secondary archetype just hitting 25? can you do that if you hit 25 currently in alpha?

[near stump]

No, secondary archtypes are not in the game yet

[crystal beacon]

@near stump that was extremely helpful, thank you

[digital walrus]

these are the times when I rlly wish I had a time machine

they vanished but I saw them briefly are they on their website?

[near stump]

I guess I can't post a msg with 4 images...

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Alpha-2

That's the current plan for when different features will be added

[digital walrus]

nice cheers also ik it's currently only up on weekends but do you know what time zone and time they start up each week?

[near stump]

Friday 10am PT - Sunday 10pm PT

And yes, every weekend

[digital walrus]

thanks man you know everything I need lol

[near stump]

Not the winning lottery numbers

[digital walrus]

I also wish I had them XD

[keen grotto]

I have legendary snowdrops so yes you can

[torn dagger]

Do we know if serveur meshing already in guys ?

[somber jacinth]

I'm unable to type in the Alpha Two channels. Is that because I'm not active yet as I'm only Wave 1 coming in Nov.

[exotic stump]

is there a launcher to download? bc even after getting akey, ive gotten no email with anything outside of my purchase order

[brisk wharf]

Correct

[near stump]

Correct. You also will need to link your discord to your ashes account if you haven’t yet.

[brisk wharf]

I think

[near stump]

What key did you get? Giveaway, $120 key, or something else?

[somber jacinth]

thx

[maiden bridge]

i just got my a2 access set up, am i able to install the launcher prior to next friday when it opens?

[near stump]

Most likely, but it’s not available yet.

You should get an email

If you don’t see anything by next Thursday, check spam

[exotic stump]

Website , bought the $120 package

[near stump]

You dont have access until Nov 8th

Download will be available around Nov 7th

you should get an email around then

[exotic stump]

Ok cool, I think your answer to wolf also answers mine too

[maiden bridge]

yes it does, i was just AFK

[exotic stump]

But I’ll look out for that email, when the time comes, I have several characters with back story lined up for rp

[somber jacinth]

Completed that, thanks.

[hasty fable]

When is beta 1 going to occur? Or has that not been announced yet?

[exotic stump]

I think it’s December if I remember correctly

[near stump]

Not announced. Sometime after May 2026

[exotic stump]

Oh

I’m way off

[near stump]

December is Alpha 2 Phase 2

[exotic stump]

That’s wat it was

[hasty fable]

Beautiful picture

Love it

[bitter trench]

Roll on May

[next summit]

can you pre download the game if you purchased the pack that lets you play november 8th?

[crystal beacon]

Theres any way to get access to the game now if i havent bought it or earliest next access is on 8/11?

[near stump]

You will be able to, but not until next week sometime. Keep an eye on your email (and spam)

[next summit]

ok thanks!

[near stump]

Correct. Nov 8th is the soonest you can get in. You have until Nov 1st to purchase that option.

[crystal beacon]

Thx

[warm salmon]

Hello I bought a beta key somewhere in 2017 I think. Someone told me it was possible to upgrade my beta key to get access to Alpha2, is that correct?

[spiral pine]

Yes

However it's possible that upgrades aren't working properly at the moment

[severe dawn]

I just did the same, can check the web store. After purchase it takes a few minutes and you can download the client (Alpha 2 button will change to Download Client).

However, it's not possible to log into the client (for me) right now. Getting some debug exception error.

[spiral pine]

Weekend tests until Dec 20th

[noble pine]

So what kind of access to the game do I get for the time being if I pick up the $120 version of the alpha 2?
Is it gonna count for the actual key when the game is officially released or am I mistaken?

[tacit cedar]

I'm having trouble logging into the website to purchase an Alpha pack. I literally cannot move to sign in screen. Is this related to the DDOS attack?

[upbeat elk]

What happens if you click sign in?

[tacit cedar]

@upbeat elk I get redirected back to the home page again without logging in

[upbeat elk]

No message to verify your email or anything?

[tacit cedar]

@upbeat elk No nothing. I've tried different browsers and also my phone browser with the same thing happening

[upbeat elk]

Hmm, I'd open a CS ticket

[wild ermine]

curious how long of a wait timer for a CS ticket to get a response?

i'm sure they busy with tons of tickets, just curious

[grim breach]

On the phone, did you try with your mobile data? The DDOS attack had them increase their general security a lot higher than usual and some IP ranges may have been blocked due to the bots used for the DDOS attack.

[true veldt]

Seems to be okay now without cloudflare?

[tacit cedar]

@grim breach Yes i did try on my phone network

[full scroll]

Did farming work in last weekends playtest? If so, how does it work? There's not a lot of info regarding it on the wiki

[grim breach]

After clicking "Create an account" or "Sign in", you should see a Cloudflare "Verifying you are a human" page. Did you see that?

[marsh hollow]

was not really present

[tidal gull]

i just purchased one but when i click my inventory doesn’t give me my beta key.

[tacit cedar]

@grim breach Yes i did and it verifies me, then kicks me back to home page

[near stump]

Scroll down or look at page 2

[tidal gull]

let me try

[fresh urchin]

The game will be subscription only at release so there's no such thing as a key for release. The 120 pack has access to all the alpha 2 phases (starting november 8th) and betas, and 1 month of subscription time when the game releases

[grim breach]

That's weird. And this is your first time with the website? Tried clearing cookies and such?

[near stump]

It should look like this

[noble pine]

Nice! Thanks!

[tacit cedar]

@grim breach I created my log in like 2017, but only visited it once every so often up until this year

[tidal gull]

yes but i don’t see the key

this is all i see

[grim breach]

Try clearing your cookies if you haven't. They have a new login page and it might have broken some stuff when transferring the session from the SSO to the website.

[spiral pine]

The keys are right there though?

[tidal gull]

i click nothing happens

[marsh hollow]

Halberd was confirmed as a weapon, way long ago, has anyone seen anything more recent than the 2017 stream source cited on the wiki?

[tacit cedar]

@grim breach Just did that and still having same thing

[spiral pine]

You don't need to redeem anything

Access gets applied on purchase

[grim breach]

It's an access key. You don't have to type or copy anything. You will login with your account on the launcher and that's it.

[grim breach]

If nothing else works, try contacting CS so they might be able to figure out if they broke something.

I submitted a CS ticket @grim breach thank you

[tidal gull]

do i have to wait till november 8?

[grim breach]

Yes

[tidal gull]

okay thank you. last question how do i download game and can i download now?

[grim breach]

They'll sen you an email with the download link later. Probably around 1st November since that's when the First Wave sale ends

[true veldt]

@tacit cedar mind if I dm you so I can diagnose the issue? I can try fixing it on my side. 🙂

[near stump]

I'd expect closer to Nov 7th as they've historically sent emails the day before for downloading

[tidal gull]

Thank you and you’ve been so helpful.

For beta testing do we get any special something when the game releases. Since we contributed.

[near stump]

No

Not that they’ve said atleast

[left nimbus]

can anyone help with this ??? You do not have permission to send messages in this channel

[near stump]

You can only type in Alpha 2 channels if you have access to test the game as of 10/25/2024

[left pasture]

I participated in tons of alphas and betas for the last 25 years, there were a very few instances that you got some kind title. You test a game and "play" it before anyone else. You get a reward for shaping a game.and having inner knowledge of systems that are in game. Most of them.were not paid for though, so I do not know what the expectations are there.

[left nimbus]

hmm, I should I have the leader of men package

[near stump]

Then you need to go to #read-me-first and link your discord to your account

[left nimbus]

ok ty

[wary rune]

Just a suggestion but it sounds like you had the same issue I had about a week ago. Go into the website permissions for ashesofcreation through your browser and reset them. Might clear that issue.

[thick gulch]

Halberd was confirmed as a weapon, way long ago, has anyone seen anything more recent than the 2017 stream source cited on the wiki?

[south fog]

will i get the patcher/intrepid downloader days before the release? Should i have that already?

[flat topaz]

Why is enveus always involved in exploits?

[strange yew]

My understanding is that not all the skills are in game (there are more levels + augments + classes for them to figure out) nor are they all listed online. I think online just lists the ones that are in game now.

ie There may be other skills added or modified to apply demoralize.

[west meteor]

You’d be surprised to see how many people were exploiting and finding bugs this weekend, it’s disgusting

Finding bugs and writing reproducible steps for devs? Inexcusable behavior for alpha testers

[flat topaz]

Don't you think discovering bugs and reporting them is different from USING those bugs?

[west meteor]

I wish I could report bugs without experiencing them - I’d be the best tester of all time

[flat topaz]

and I am grateful to those who discovered and reported it

[flat topaz]

oh bro dont do that

-50 QI

[tranquil ferry]

Yes, I can taste this delicious cake that I haven't even taken a bite from.

[hybrid dragon]

I can confirm there are currently skills to apply Demoralized debuff (and upgrade it to Humiliated). Used them the whole weekend in A2 on a bard.

[flat topaz]

I don't need to spend 20 hours in the same place abusing a bug to report it, be honest for the love of God

[merry chasm]

from the wiki only quick wit applies demoralize

[thin fox]

After you have eaten the first piece of cake, and you realize that it is made of human feces, would you continue to eat the entire cake to be absolutely sure that it is all made of feces?

Hey some people are into that

[hybrid dragon]

Yup, that was it, it's a bard skill you start with 😄 And turn Demoralized into Humiliated with Clever Retort.

yeah but if you look at the dance its an ae, when quick wit is single target. if you were solo by the time you can recast quick wit its fallen off. so my point is that the maddening dance is little pointless

now if quick wit had a bounce like the book auto and demoralized more than one target itd be great

The launcher says I don’t have access this morning. Did they shut down access until this weekend or is something wrong on my end?

[merry chasm]

really?

maybe they banned your account, were all in here playing

[hybrid dragon]

Phase 1 is only for weekends.

Hello all! Just bought access to Alpha2 and looking forward to playing Nov8 ! Had a question though : where is the best place to find information on the game, the classes, the functionality, etc. The main website appears to have very limited information. Any suggestions?

its hidden behind join the alpha, doesnt match the email they sent showing "download"

[marsh hollow]

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/

[coarse bough]

[marsh hollow]

interesting, it was there before the weekend

once you sign in it switches to get launcher

[south fog]

hmm i guess i need to wait until nov 6th to even get the launcher

was trying to get ahead of it

[coarse bough]

But did you already have access to AoC or you got Nov8 access?

[south fog]
