[near stump]

The quote from Steven includes experience.

[dark jungle]

and that part is the same on both

9 - 10 levels

[near stump]

Steven said in his most recent quote from last week that if a mob is greater than 9 levels away from anyone in the group, no one in the group gains xp. The wiki says if anyone in your group is 9-10 levels below another player in the group, that person won’t gain xp. Those two are very different from one another in multiple ways.

[dark jungle]

9 is in the range 9-10

[near stump]

Whatever man 😂

[dark jungle]

wow

[near stump]

Time to leave this channel and just enjoy the game. Thanks for your work on the wiki

[median quartz]

hope the send this email fast so i can start downlaoding for wave 1 )

[spiral pine]

You'll get an email tomorrow

[deep patio]

Just got the Alpha paid for I’m excited been waiting since the announcement a few years ago me and my son both just got the keys For the one for November 9th

[vague thistle]

8th 🙂

[spring loom]

Are there any new patch notes about what changes are going to be implemented from the first to weekends of alpha to this week?

[west meteor]

They’ll post patch notes when the build for this weekend is ready

[gentle thorn]

What craft makes Bows?

[vague thistle]

I believe it's woodworks, no?

[gentle thorn]

I thought so but the Wiki seems to lack info on it as far as I'm finding

[vague thistle]

I guess Wiki team is under so much work atm 😊 on Arioch we have T2 woodworks and I have heard we can craft bows there

[cosmic haven]

A only get error code 538 what do that mean?

[gentle thorn]

Awesome thank you! I'm a #noob looking everything up to start friday so I undestand

[west meteor]

Probably something related to the fact that the servers aren’t open currently

[pearl ivy]

are there any resources as to what stat does what? ie: agility/con, etc?

viewable during the game downtime?

[cosmic haven]

Ok thanks when do they open again?

[vague thistle]

Server? I guess it will be on Friday at 10am pacific time

[lofty pollen]

Hey there, would be very appreciated if we can pre download the game for those with a small internet connections. I think the majority goes to work or something else on Friday and it would be pitty if some of us are then sitting there and download the game for 2 hours ( I doesn’t know the client size)! Maybe you can take this into account - thanks 🙏

[pearl ivy]

how what about what "magic power" does? 😄

eventually it comes down to something like +% dmg or something right?

like 1 point is 1%?

[golden glacier]

Carpentry makes bows. Carpenty is done at the Woodshop building. 🙂

[pearl ivy]

i guess its probably some convoluted formula with Magic Power vs Magic Resist, or Magic Penetration vs Magic Evasion?

[vague thistle]

Actually I think 1 point in magic power means 1 point in the blue section of the graph

[pearl ivy]

next time im in game im going to take a bunch of screen shots from the ui

and equip/unequip items and see what happens

surprised no one has done that yet

[faint ivy]

I can start playing on Friday but do not have access to download the client - When will I be able to and or am I missing the link?

[pearl ivy]

tomrorrow

they will email it

[faint ivy]

Thank you!

[royal oak]

Could not find a link with the info, can you point me to something ?

[west meteor]

They plan on making the download available on Thursday but that depends on if the build is ready or not

[west meteor]

#alpha-two-general message

[mighty siren]

Has anyone tested/measured the range from a caravan that the UI options to attack/defend are displayed?

[wild flare]

Hey, if I have Alpha Two First Wave Bundle, can i download game now, or I have to wait till friday to download it?

[vernal aurora]

You will get an email with instructions some time tomorrow

[wild flare]

cool, thanks

[terse haven]

wow thank you!

am i wrong or we still don't have roles for wave 1 alpha 2?

[last ingot]

#questions message

[kind magnet]

is that when we'll also have permission to type in the alpha two discord channels (if our account is linked to our ashes site login)?

[vernal aurora]

yes

[kind magnet]

thanks Zahn!

[stray dagger]

What does me referring some one get me?

[neat aspen]

any update on when we can download client for next wave?

[twin holly]

Thursday for wave 1

[thorn berry]

Hey, you tagged the wrong person - I don't have access to test until the 8th.

[shut wolf]

Do we know what time the email will go out tomorrow?

I'm super excited. In the Alpha are we going to be able to use two classes when we level up or is only the primary class going to be available?

[strange yew]

only primary classes for now.
the roadmap shows tank and cleric augments planned for during phase 3

[shut wolf]

Do we have the option to create another char to try another class? I wanted to try at least 2 different classes.

[strange yew]

specifically, we have cleric, tank, mage, hunter, bard, fighter available at the moment.

rogue comes sometime during phase 2.
summoner comes sometime during phase 3.

You have multiple character slots (5?) on each server (3 US, 3 EU) currently

so lots of opportunities to make and try different classes.

[shut wolf]

Awesome, I'm glad I will be able to try more than 1 class. I want to try bard and ranger.

Do you currently have access to the game Keg?

[strange yew]

Yes - do you have other questions for this channel?
I've been a part of Alpha 1, spot testing leading up to Alpha 2... and currently the Private Test Realm and Alpha 2.

At this moment, there are not servers up (PTR comes up for brief tests here and there throughout the week). A2 is up on weekends until Dec 20 when phase 2 is planned to begin.

[shut wolf]

No other questions, just excited to play the game. Amazing that you are already in game. Very cool.

[steel sluice]

regarding trades how big is the diff between gather and craft it seems the mark-up on money would be much higher on crafting in the sense that gucci buys leather for 4 gold slaps a lable on it and sells it for 400 gold is it worth to go gathering or is it much better to start out crafting gear since the mark up would be crazy???

[round dagger]

what time do we think this fridays launch will be ? Also when will I be able to download the launcher ❤️🙏

[mystic knot]

Will this update change the tank class

[thorny wharf]

How can I download the game Friday?

[worn wagon]

Servers are planned to open at 10am PT

@thorny wharf You'll be able to download the launcher on the website. As soon as download is unlocked for you, you'll get an email - that's expected to go out on Thursday

[thorny wharf]

Alright thankyou

[gleaming parcel]

You should have email Link to download

[worn wagon]

You have the Voyager Plus pack, so you're in a different email group than the Wave One bundle owners

[honest lily]

What is everybody's opinion on weapons proc'ing passives from your secondary weapon and vice versa? Intended or Bug? Maybe some Dev Insight @coral pelican if not too busy? ❤️

[dawn spire]

Are summoner and rogue available in game now or are they greyed out on website for a reason??

[final briar]

Are there plans on improving the stats of higher tiers animals that can be gathered?

I saw someone get a heroic wolf, only to become sad when he found it was just like any other mount

[unreal helm]

When will the Launcher be aviable for the Alpha 2 Testers on November 8th?

[worn wagon]

@unreal helm See linked message

[reef socket]

I would pin that message tbh

[worn wagon]

Those 2 archetypes are not in game currently. Rogue is planned to come with phase 2, summoner in phase 3

[dawn spire]

thank you ShadonSol

[daring fox]

Hmmm... I wonder if AoC team will make a displate poster

[light sandal]

How long will the next alpha be open for?

[daring fox]

same as before friday-sunday

[light sandal]

Thanks

[dawn spire]

although the servers are not opening until friday will the DL be available on thursday so there is not a logjam on DL

[bitter trench]

Does anyone know the average player count on a server this wekend ?

[daring fox]

a lot.

[signal copper]

it is only me , or ashes website is error

[daring fox]

it doesnt say that for me.

[bitter trench]

its you

[dawn spire]

am i really blocked or is this some kind of scam?

[abstract turret]

try incognito mode

[grand oracle]

I have a question, I don't quite understand it yet, but I got the package to be able to participate in the alpha from 8 January. What about the client and download? Do I get a link or will something be activated in my account on the homepage? How exactly does this work? Unfortunately I have not found any information.

[worn wagon]

It's possible that you got flagged by DDoS mitigation systems. You can try again in a bit and if you're still seeing this message then, please submit a support ticket here: https://support.ashesofcreation.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[worn wagon]

See here: #questions message

[sleek fulcrum]

You can make up to 5 characters per server

[grand oracle]

Wow... So I also have to learn to search again. I searched for installer and client, but not for launcher or download.

[sleek fulcrum]

They did a bunch of DDoS mitigation you might be in a range they blocked IP wise

it should get resolved tho

[bronze sable]

honestly I'm surprised it's not 8 characters per server considering there's 8 base classes

[sleek fulcrum]

It wouldnt hurt to open a support ticket

[daring vault]

Still no download ?

[bitter trench]

It took me many hours to get to level 10, i cant see many players having lots of end game alts, not to mention how long the crafting takes

[spiral pine]

You'll get an email tomorrow

[frigid holly]

oijh;kbljbhvlhgvl;jb

[somber jacinth]

^ now I have to change my password :p

was that a pet jumping on the keyboard? 😄

[lean steppe]

Where do I go if I never received an Alpha Two First Wave Bundle download link by email? Cheerrs

[frigid holly]

You won't get the e-mail until tomorrow

[lean steppe]

oooohh ok gotcha. It sucks being in the future sometimes <_<

[near stump]

If you’re talking about time zones, everything they say is pacific time.

[lean steppe]

thanks for that 🙂

[near stump]

You won't get the email any earlier than <t:1730995200:R>

That is 8am PT Thursday

[lean steppe]

I look forward to it!

[bronze sable]

some players will, other players won't

[tacit flame]

depends how hard you no life it

[coral pelican]

gonna toss this to @lyric violet to clarify!

[lyric violet]

this is a bug that we're in current progress of solving, and aiming for a fix in time for this weekend's playtest if possible. intended design is only for active weapon procs to occur.

[inland flame]

@digital sonnet what do you think to one new server per region?

for the new players to have a good first impression experience joining this weekend. Instead of getting ganked and killed over and over by high levels on existing servers

First impressions matter!

[honest lily]

Appreciate the response, thanks for clarifying!

[cloud hatch]

Does this mean that passive abilities like 3% more penetration do affect the other weapon? You only mentioned procs

[lyric violet]

yes, goes for all passives - they are only active when the associated weapon is also actively wielded.

[toxic viper]

this can happen sometimes with cloudflare when they ban IP ranges

[signal copper]

i did send ticket few min ago, still same error, probably going to check tmrw

[noble gale]

people that bought 8th of Nov access should get invite tomorrow right?

[worn wagon]

Correct, tomorrow PST time

[noble gale]

thank you good sir 🙂

[warm cove]

What time on Fridays do the servers go live and what time do they close on Sundays? I know some times have changed due to unforeseen things but do we have a time it should be?

[worn wagon]

It's planned to open the servers at 10am pt on friday and close them at 10pm pt on sunday

[whole python]

Dont know if some mod reads this, but can you give this idea forward. Maybe ashes is already planning on this, but it would be cool to have an ingame voice chat available in the game.

[cunning jasper]

Thanks for the link.

[supple sentinel]

"on monday" ? 🤨

[tacit flame]

Friday*

[worn wagon]

Sorry, typo 👀 it's friday - sunday of course

[deft glacier]

I bought A2W1 and have connected my ashes account to Discord. Is there anything further that I need to do to "unlock" the Alpha two section of discord? Or will it unlock once it actually starts?

[paper onyx]

Alpha-2 is already started, but maybe the 8 for you

[crystal beacon]

Not sure is a bug or somthing i connect the discord acc but not yet get the role

[golden cliff]

already asked on the general discussions but just wanted to make sure,

Is it possible to upgrade a Phase 2 Key into a Phase 1 key?

[worn wagon]

Upgrading is not possible for wave bundles - you'd have to refund here (https://support.ashesofcreation.com/hc/en-us/requests/new) and then purchase the Wave One bundle

@deft glacier @crystal beacon You should get the corresponding role required to type in the Alpha 2 channels as soon as your Alpha 2 access has been unlocked - for wave one bundle owners this would be on November 8

[crystal beacon]

got it thanks

[deft glacier]

That's what I thought would happen but wasn't sure. Thank you.

[slate ravine]

Which classes is the less played so far ?

[last ingot]

Probably Fighter/Tank

[twin holly]

tank would most likely be the least as usually is a shortage and in ashes atm only need 1 in the group for 90% of available levelling content

[slate ravine]

thanks for all your fast answer

[last ingot]

I just realized Rogue and Summoner are least played classes doh

[west tangle]

can you have the play client on multiple computers such as you laptop and home desktop or just one

[marble sand]

Summoner is the class I am most looking forward to trying out.

[twin holly]

can play it on multiple devices no issue

[sleek stratus]

was there ever a rogue showcase

[crisp holly]

Playing with more then one account on the same computer, no.
Playing with one account on more then one computer, no.
Playing different accounts on different computers, yes.
Play on two different devices at different times with the same account, yes.

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Multi-boxing

[tough atlas]

Not yet, probably in the next few months it's due to be released. They have a lot of bug fixing to do with server performance that is more than likely going to push things out a bit. Summoner will be next year sometime for sure. Then they can start work on the augments 👍

[pine steppe]

how long is the first wave test will last?

[tough atlas]

Until end of December

[worn wagon]

With the Wave One Bundle you get access to all Alpha 2 phases.
Phase 1 is planned to go until December 20.
During phase 1, servers open from friday 10am pt to sunday 10pm pt

[pine steppe]

thanks

[twin holly]

"Playing with one account on more then one computer," . as long as it is only you using that account you can put it on as many devices as you want, since assuming once you login it kicks the connection from the other device. not like intrepid would ban people for playing on their main pc then logging in from their laptop while at work / away from home. if the distance / location is too far it may get flagged for suspicious activity but that wouldnt be a ban

[crisp holly]

Which is why my last point says two different devices at different times.

[proud cargo]

Hi part of Phase I Continued here. When / Where do we get the information to download the client for the Nov 8 start? Is this something that goes like on the 8th or can we preload the client and I am just bad at finding info / reading instructions. So far all I have is the original receipt from purchase.

[twin holly]

wave 1 key players will be able to pre download tomorrow at some point, will get an email or can download launcher off website once it shows for wave players

[proud cargo]

Thank you.

[languid scroll]

I purchased Alpha two Phase 1 bundle a couple weeks ago and I don't have the discord roles necessary to chat in the alpha two channels. I do have the discord connection linked to my AoC account. Wondering why these rolls have not been added with the connection. My AoC account name is Fiinn

[dawn spire]

isthere going to be a wipe between phase 1 and phase 2??

[strange yew]

They have not announced one.

[unkempt ferry]

when by chance do we get access to post int he Alpha Two channels?

i'd like to be able to communicate bugs/whatnot. Friday should be my first time playing alpha two

[dawn spire]

thank you Keg i am looking forward to rogue in phase 2 but not sure who i will get attached to in phase 1

[desert ivy]

You'll get access sometime on November 8th if you have a wave 1 key

[unkempt ferry]

thank you @desert ivy

[strange yew]

Currently the only people who can post are people with current access #questions message

[desert ivy]

They want to keep the A2 channel for people that currently have access so the feedback/discussions don't get muddied

[unkempt ferry]

Thank you

[unkempt ferry]

That makes sense. Will have to wait for Friday then!

Any good realms for NA?

maybe a new one will open up I heard Theoryforge say

[strange yew]

They haven’t announced a new server, but they haven’t rejected the idea either.

You’ll be able to make characters on all of them, if you want.

[unkempt ferry]

Sounds good, thank you for taking the time out of your day to answer my questions

[digital sonnet]

Hey Kraff, the team just added functionality for this.

You should be able to upgrade your Alpha Two wave bundles. If you (or anyone) has any trouble doing this, let me know.

If you have Second or Third Wave bundles, you should see upgrade options here: https://ashesofcreation.com/shop

[gilded sand]

@digital sonnet is there a way to report a bug/exploit within discord?

for teh game

[near stump]

Hope you didn't do what I suggested on Monday. See Roshen's message above indicating you can upgrade now!

@nimble sleet you too

[hollow kestrel]

Hello, where can I find the launcher download link? I already bought the $120 access but I don't know how to download the game. Thank you

[near stump]

It isn't available yet. You'll get an email sometime likely in the next 24 hours with info.

[hollow kestrel]

thanks!

[twin holly]

can also just check the website tomorrow and there will be a get launcher button if the email doesnt show up

[iron jolt]

I just bought the bundle and the top right if you go to account on their website gives you the option to get launcher now.

[hollow kestrel]

thanks!

[digital sonnet]

(since you're answering questions, early info for you)

We're rolling out the Alpha Two tags to Wave One Bundle people now. It may take a few hours for everyone to get it.

We plan email Alpha Two Wave One people on Thursday. Some people with Wave One Bundles may see "Get Launcher" and be able to type in Alpha Two channels today, as these tags roll out to all of the accounts.

[night vine]

Will we have additional new servers for people that are starting nov 8th? It'd be nice if we could get a confirmation on this so we can plan accordingly

[tardy oxide]

What’s the different servers like in the EU and which would be best to join?

[twin holly]

(#alpha-two-general message) new realm if performance goes downhill

[minor moth]

omg

will i finally be able to chat????

[arctic sky]

i mean you can chat downin the normal channels lol

[golden falcon]

Best place to give suggestions about the game. ?

[smoky juniper]

I followed the link to Get Launcher and down loaded the game but it won't let me log into the game

[naive isle]

so if buy the alpha key do i need to buy the game when its out

[tranquil ferry]

ffff 17 hours yo

[boreal tapir]

Servers are not online yet

[twin holly]

game wont have a box cost , just a monthly subscription, you get 1 month with the bundle which starts at full release

[tranquil ferry]

Forums

[green cedar]

Are you able to gift this game?

[boreal tapir]

Not that I am aware of.

[twin holly]

give someone your card details or send them the money. no gift option atm. an alternative would be to buy a digital / pre paid visa card and then give them those details

[mortal crescent]

if a guild declare a war to another, the other can accept or refuse ?

[silent inlet]

I think a safer way to do it is sign into their account and buy it and not save ur card details

[twin holly]

against ToS to do that

[silent inlet]

Ah i see

Mb

[twin holly]

yea thats why the other options are the way to go

[silent inlet]

Gotcha

[reef socket]

I see, I misinterpreted

[twin holly]

you could but i doubt youd have a good time with it

[lilac wigeon]

I just downloaded the launcher and installed it, and it also gave me an option to download and install AOC. Do we get to pre load now?

[mighty cosmos]

Once I have connected my ashes account to disc I don’t have to do anything else right? I should have all my roles?

[sick gazelle]

where do you download the launcher?

[lilac wigeon]

I think they are still rolling them out

[sick gazelle]

Nevermind, I am a blind boi

[lilac wigeon]

go to the website and login

[sick gazelle]

On the website

[lilac wigeon]

yeah

[twin holly]

#read-me-first and pick a language for the rest

[shut wolf]

Did they send out the link to the launcher yet or is that tomorrow?

[misty sluice]

go to the website

[shut wolf]

Where did you find this at?

[dawn moat]

Did you download the luncher ? Because i cant see it yet

[shut wolf]

Someone said they see the launcher on the website, I don't see it. I'm paid up.

Luffy give us a screen shot.

[lilac wigeon]

yeah they seem to be still rolling out the alpha to players

[shut wolf]

or a URL.

What is the URL to the launcher..

[misty sluice]

https://ashesofcreation.com/download URL?

[shut wolf]

We just need the URL and it should work.

[lilac wigeon]

some people get the "get launcher"

and some dont for now

wait a bit

they are still rolling them out

[shut wolf]

When you put your mouse over Get launcher in the bottom left pane what does the URL say.

[lilac wigeon]

we will also be getting emails

[digital sonnet]

@shut wolf @dawn moat (and anyone else asking), we're currently tagging Alpha Two Wave One bundle testers now. We expect this may take a few hours.

We'll email everyone Thursday, once this is confirmed to have rolled out. If we got your account, you'll see the "Get Launcher" at the top of the website if you're logged in.

[Some more info here](#alpha-two-general message)

[shadow bluff]

The url says be patient

[lilac wigeon]

the link Sominum gave you

[misty sluice]

i put ut in chat

[shut wolf]

oh wow.. interesting

I thought that was a joke LMAO

I also tried that myself before as a test...

[shadow bluff]

#read-me-first make sure to connect your account through the steps here

[lilac wigeon]

well we get our roles in discord today?

[shadow bluff]

As the rolling goes on, you’ll get access to the a2 channels.

Mhm

Exact timing depends

[shut wolf]

I guess, i Just have to wait.

[digital sonnet]

IF you've linked your Intrepid account to Discord correctly, you'll get access to type in Alpha Two channels once the roll out gets to your account.

Again, this may take some time. We're rolling this out to be ready to email everyone Thursday. Some people are getting this earlier than others.

[lilac wigeon]

oh, I have connected my discord to my Intrepid and got the roll out to my account but I still can't type. I guess I'll have to wait

[shut wolf]

Thanks

Is it wrong that I feel like an addict right now....

[native meadow]

@digital sonnet If we already had a launcher. Do we still use Get Launcher from website?

[digital sonnet]

The launcher won't change. The update there is the one from last weekend. We'll do another update Friday, before unlocking Alpha Two.

If you update now, your update Friday will be faster.

[remote zealot]

how do you update now?

[hoary jungle]

@digital sonnet Is there someone on the AoC team or a mod I could DM to ask questions about a community event I am wanting to host for the rest of P1? Apologies if this isn't the place to ask. bows

[lilac wigeon]

if you have it download the launcher

and install AOC

thats it 🙂

[digital sonnet]

You can DM any of the Community Managers. @junior ember might be the best one, as he's getting his shift started

[hoary jungle]

Thank you!

[weary pulsar]

Everytime I restart my PC, Inteprid launcher wants to download an update only to tell me I have the newest version, any fix?

Tried reinstalling launcher

[woeful seal]

@roshen @junior ember do we need to sign out and back in for the "join the alpha" option to flip to a "get launcher"? or are they still rolling out. thanks.

[storm tulip]

Nah I was just gonna wait, just paid the extra 10$ for this weekend. Thank you for messaging me I wouldn’t have seen it otherwise

[lunar violet]

Can you still purchase Alpha access? Looks like they are not in the shop. But, they are listed on the website like you can. I have it, but was thinking for a friend.

[twin holly]

while not logged in i can still see them in the shop, should be available to the 30th

[lunar violet]

That was it, if I'm logged in, they aren't available.

Logged out, they show up. Thanks!

[round glade]

but is this on your account that has access right?

[lunar violet]

This is key, Alpha Two access date dependent on Wave. Limit 1 bundle per account.

Can't gift it looks like.

[round glade]

no ne has to buy it from his account

[twin holly]

need to send them the money or give them your card details if you trust them completely. last way would be buy a digital / pre paid visa and give them those details

[lunar violet]

Thanks, guys. Yeah

[hollow kernel]

send me the card details and ill buy it for them

you seen those tiktoks that have the guys buying chips and getting something for themselves? its gonna be alot like that tho

super excited to be able to preload the game, thank you devs!

[storm tulip]

Mine took a minute to appear when I upgraded my pack just before. I can see it now on the browser but I did have to refresh and wait for about 10m

[storm tulip]

If you want to make it easier for yourself pass on the card details to me and I’ll buy it for you to then buy for this guys mate. Naturally there is a minor incentive for myself of course but happy to be of service

[woeful seal]

gotch, mine still says "join the alpha" i bought the wave 1 months ago, though.

[storm tulip]

Maybe rolling out slowly. You should be able to see your inventory on your account, just confirm the key is there and you’re logged into the right account maybe?

[twin holly]

roshen said it would take a few hours for all accounts to be tagged, worst case it would be tomorrow

[woeful seal]

lol it just updated

as i was looking at it.🍻

[storm tulip]

Lfg!

[supple lava]

Waiting on mine, not that it changes anything haha, keep checking like it's an itch I can't scratch, but even once I get it I won't actually have it, I'll just be chasing something that is soon to come. As long as I'm good before Friday I won't have a public freakout.

[sand cipher]

i retract my question as i logged in and saw the "get launcher button" see yall in the adventures!~"

[echo panther]

Are servers not up until the 8th? I downloaded the launder and have created a character, but I’m getting an error code 538

[twin holly]

correct , servers are up but login is disabled till friday

[ancient egret]

your key clearly says nov 8th

[quick heart]

How do I get the Alpha 2 tag in here? Will it automatically update or is there something I need to do?

[echo panther]

Thanks m8

[twin holly]

https://ashesofcreation.com/account/connections link discord

[quick heart]

Did that already

[twin holly]

try incognito to relink and if that doesnt work then just wait a bit as tags for roles are still going out

[quick heart]

[carmine hull]

so can we download the game yet?

[twin holly]

https://ashesofcreation.com/download if it shows get launcher while logged in you are good to go, since you got the discord role you should be able to

[echo panther]

Yea, if you log in on the web page, you should see “Get Launcher”

[carmine hull]

anyone know how big the game file is?

[vast walrus]

pretty sure around 50gb

[twin holly]

59.7gb download, 100gb free HD space for download prevents any issues , as some people had issues with out extra free space

[carmine hull]

ok cool ty

[polar thicket]

Do we know anything about a Guild Storage system being added? I've seen a Guild Alliance Storage on the wiki but nothing about individual guild storage.

[last leaf]

Hello, I cannot log in to the website to download the login program.

[potent sigil]

anyone having issues isntalling the launcher

[abstract dagger]

[thorn berry]

You should have access to install the launcher right now

[hazy niche]

u can do it today

[thorn berry]

https://ashesofcreation.com/

[surreal pine]

And make sure you are logged in.

[noble pine]

[minor moth]

Rn big dawg

[deep fox]

If you use AVG, turn it off. It'll try to nuke the installer and quarantine it.

[shut wolf]

It has begun.... ( Drum noises)

[proper blade]

what the F david blane

[proper blade]

oh easy fix just rerun launcher setup if someone has this happen too

[wary rune]

I thought they were gonna send out an email when it was available for Download for wave 1 people? Did this change?

[twin holly]

systems tagging all the wave accounts for discord roles and emails, the emails are still planned for tomorrow. you can get the launcher if the systems done tagging your account though

[wary rune]

Ah nice. I did. I logged in when I saw someone else say we could download and started the process. Was just wondering

[spare zodiac]

I've requested the signup email multiple times, but it has not come through. Anything special that needs to be done?

[haughty glacier]

Is the webpage sign in portal having problems ?

[twin holly]

with all the wave key players trying download the launcher it wouldnt suprise me

[hushed nimbus]

goes live Friday correct?

[fervent moat]

da

10 am pacific

[mighty raven]

goes live as soon as im done downloading

[storm sigil]

Ive pre ordered the wayfer pack when will i be able to play it says ill gain access to beta two but havent got a key ?

[iron hare]

Hello I had a quick question regarding the PvE of AoC, given that I am mainly a big PvE player in general on MMORPGs, would I have a place on AoC, from what I understood it is very PvP oriented? Everything about nodes, pvp in all zones, conquests etc. For a full PvE player it can do it? If you can tell me more please?

[winged vigil]

Beta 2 is a long way off still. We only just started alpha 2 testing 2 weekends ago.

[storm sigil]

I mean alpha 2 sorry

[twin holly]

need to upgrade to voyager pack or get the alpha 2 addon, should see them in the shop while logged in

[winged vigil]

Phase 1, 2, or 3? Phase 1 starts for the late buyer packages this weekend. Phase 2 starts Dec 20, and Phase 3 starts mid May.

[twin holly]

the best way to put it is that its a pvx game , theres gonna be a lot of pve stuff to do but you cant hide from the pvp and all the big node wars , castle sieges , caravans are all pvp oriented. you can still play fine as a pve player just be warned you can get attacked at any time. if getting ganked randomly is not your thing then this game might not be for you

[storm sigil]

Easy no problem thank you for that information

[minor moth]

You probably want vyra for now atleast

Other NA servers are either streamer filled or super guild focused

[oak wedge]

HD ????

dude we're in 2024, get at least a SSD

[near stump]

Anyone with a pack with a specific name like wayfarer or voyager aren't in the waves. They'd be able to get in as of Oct 25th.

[twin holly]

HD ssd its all storage im old im used to just typing hd

[mighty raven]

here's the direct download link

for anyone that needs it

[twin holly]

wouldnt share that link as while theres no nda you are giving out a direct link to it that doesnt require a login to get it

[oak wedge]

(HDD) Hard Disk Drive
(SSD) Solid State Drive

[mighty raven]

u right

[near stump]

He knows what they mean. He just uses HD as a general term for all storage just like some American's call all sodas "coke".

The coke one is a much greater crime to mankind imo

[oak wedge]

Here in quebec we got Pepsi

[near stump]

Is a sprite also a pepsi?

[oak wedge]

sprite is 7Up

[near stump]

Down in the southern US, all soft drinks are referred to as "coke" by many

[charred panther]

do we seclection microsoft edge web installer when selecting prerequisites to be installed?

[winged vigil]

I tend to use proper nouns in most applicable cases.

[twin holly]

best to tick all 3

[charred panther]

ty sorry if its a dumb question new to pc

[west meteor]

It’s not a dumb question

[lilac wigeon]

do you know what the Edge option does?

[agile roost]

What level do we get to pick a secondary archetype?

[twin holly]

25 but not implemented yet till phase 3

[agile roost]

Oh ok

[twin holly]

launcher uses it for something, all i know is linux users are having a big problem installing because linux doesnt like that but its definitely needed

[lilac wigeon]

mhmmm

will i be unable to play the game if i didnt have it enabled tho?

[twin holly]

wouldnt be able to tell you, if the game launches then yea you should be fine. worst case it just means reinstall the launcher

[charred panther]

we still waiting for friday to be able to launch it tho right?

[lilac wigeon]

no

I started the game and created a char some hours ago

but you cant login

[charred panther]

oh so i can launch the game after downloading the launcher?

[lilac wigeon]

and idk if the char I made actually is there

[lilac wigeon]

yeah

[twin holly]

characters made should stay there and be there friday, this week the servers are kept online but login disabled.previously they remained off after the test ended

[lilac wigeon]

I'll make a new one anyways

if they make a new server

but if there are no servers ig I have this char

and btw are the names unique?

[weak ginkgo]

probably already asked but does the game open up tomorrow at midnight?

[twin holly]

realm based unique

[twin holly]

10am pacific friday is the planned launch but could be delays

[weak ginkgo]

gotcha thanks

[lilac wigeon]

oh

so in Arioch I'm the first one to make a char named "Luffy"

[twin holly]

most likely yea

[lilac wigeon]

amazing

[modest ivy]

So, I am trying to run the installer and keep getting these two errors:
Any ideas on how to fix this?

[haughty glacier]

I didn't get an error but try to restart, it usually fixes those errors

[twin holly]

if restarting doesnt help get the visual C++ direct from microsoft, install then retry intrepid launcher

[modest ivy]

I've restarted the program and the pc, didnt fix it

and I already have the c++ thing. i can see it. though i tried uninstalling it and it also errored, same one. so I think thats the issue. gonna dig around with that

[dawn spire]

getting error 403 is there any way to correct this?

[near stump]

What action are you performing that gives this error?

[dawn spire]

trying to get the launcher

[glacial cave]

just to confirm, are you logged into the site?

[modest ivy]

Fixed this, it was the visual studio causing it. had to complete a windows update that fixed it, uninstalled it. then let the installer added it back. downloading the game now 🙂

[haughty glacier]

Great! Just to have everything set up for the launch

[dawn spire]

getting blacklist notice from norton i have shut off autoprotect and firewall but still get the message

[sand cipher]

what time tomorrow does the servers go online?

[twin holly]

10am pacific friday

[supple idol]

Should I have gotten an email about this yet?

[twin holly]

wave key holders accounts are getting tagged with discord role and emails are to be expected still tomorrow, can download launcher if it shows up on the website

[desert ivy]

https://ashesofcreation.com/download

[supple idol]

Ok tyvm

[viscid aurora]

Damn, i was excited to download launcher tomorrow but I could've tonight..? I'm already at work too...

[sterile oyster]

Takes like 5 minutes to install

[mighty raven]

You're gonna miss out and then be stuck in queue cause you didn't download fast enough and then not get to play

[viscid aurora]

I got that ez 13 mbps download speed

https://tenor.com/view/teah-yeah-gif-18242809

[sterile oyster]

50 hours* to install

[viscid aurora]

That sounds realistic for me, thank ya

How big is the actual install size?

[mighty raven]

Like 2tb

[glacial cave]

i see 56GB on disk for launcher and game

[viscid aurora]

So about 6 hours for me, give or take. Thank you, I appreciate it so I can plan my Install ahead of time 🤣

The game itself still isn't open until Friday tho, correct?

[lilac wigeon]

yeah

[sterile oyster]

right

[viscid aurora]

Hell yea. Ready to crash as soon as I load in due to influx of people mixed with my poor wifi.

[violet hazel]

tomorrow is gonna be the longest day ever

[mighty raven]

Is making a macro to keep clicking the play button till it let's me in against ToS?
<@&542059693779058748>

[keen notch]

Anyone know what day/time the nov 8th launches OCE?

[kindred mesa]

is the dwarf race going to be available in alpha 2 phase 2??

[twin holly]

[glacial cave]

according to road map sometime in phase 2

[kindred mesa]

ty

[keen notch]

sweet cheers nrp

bro*

[viscid aurora]

Dwarf 💪

[deep fox]

Character created. Now watch, I'll get called in to work on Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

[mighty raven]

"Hello grayfith, yes we need you to pull a 72 hour shift immediately"

[twin holly]

you need the cert and the tool to do a profession at any lvl higher than novice. the tool will probably stay , you can remove a tool to your bag im pre sure and replace it with a lower lvl would just need to remove it before downgrading

[ripe coral]

jesus christ what level of profession are you at then

Downgrading only applies to master level right

I don't think you will be able to reach it though, the tools should likely not be available to you yet for that level

[twin holly]

you can downgrade at any cert level most likely they testing downgrade from apprentice -> novice

[forest rapids]

will alpha 2 eventually be all day all week?

[ripe coral]

Oh, didn't know that. INteresting

[ripe coral]

next year may ish

[ripe coral]

in addition 20th of december we should be getting access 5 days a week

(this year)

[forest rapids]

hold on alpha 2 is lasting another 7 months?

[ripe coral]

no

more likely 2 years

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Testing_phases

[forest rapids]

so its going to be like star citizen

[ripe coral]

I like how you jump to conclusions, there is a roadmap with (estimated) timelines.

[forest rapids]

your answers are confusing

or you're not reading what im saying

[hushed nimbus]

on the launcher my file operations bar has been at 99 for 3 hours any tips

[twin holly]

phase 3 starting may is expected to go for 1 year at least, so its going to run for atleast another 19 months ( time till may + the 1 year )

[ripe coral]

Maybe you're missing some context? I'm stating facts and sent a link with all information regarding testing phases, I'd appreciate it if you point out what parts are confusing though.

[forest rapids]

so alpha 2 is lasting for a while

[twin holly]

indeed, its expected to last longer than that 1 year of Phase 3 also, could be 2 years even. this is not taking into the account the length of the beta phases either

[ripe coral]

yes we are in phase 1 now, until 20th of december, there will be phase 2, may next year phase 3, then after a while probably a year or more, we'll go into beta.

[forest rapids]

thats what i was asking and you said no

like wtf lol

[tranquil ferry]

#questions message
phase 2 is 5+ days up,
Phase 3 is full weeks up

[ripe coral]

hehe you said 7 more months, and I said no, because it lasts longer.

[forest rapids]

they are going the star citizen route

[hushed nimbus]

so phase 1 is every weekend and 2 is 5 days access then full uptime in 3

[forest rapids]

its alpha test until beta

[desert ivy]

For context, the red outline is the part of the map planned to be in the alpha testing by August/September next year, so yes A2 is gonna last a while

[ripe coral]

Right, if that's the comparison then yes. I'm not too aware of how Star Citizen is developing.

[forest rapids]

SO YOU MY FRIEND can not jump to conclusions

alright all good, thanks

[safe mulch]

Hi guys, what is the difference between an attack (Q) and an action-cam attack(mouse left click)? I am a bit confused.

[ripe coral]

Cool, I thought you implied star citizen as in "never going to finish".
I do jump to conclusions as well, but I'm happy to be corrected :-).

[hushed nimbus]

is it supposed to take hours on 99%

[ripe coral]

Theoretically the same.

[desert ivy]

They're the same thign

[ripe coral]

Should not take that long, is your disk full? otherwise I'd suggest restarting the launcher

[tranquil ferry]

no

[safe mulch]

Okay, thanks

[twin holly]

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Hybrid_combat for more info

[granite vigil]

For the ones that bought the Alpha 2 First wave keys is it tomorrow we'll be able to download the launcher?

[twin holly]

https://ashesofcreation.com/download check here you can probably get it now since you have your role

[granite vigil]

oh wow thank you, i can download it.

[green cedar]

How's the pop are the servers full or am I able to join one on nov8th also how many servers are there currently

Atleast judging off of last weekend

[twin holly]

cant say what the actual populations are but you shouldnt have any problem joining any server, the only queue you might face is the one you get when in the starter zone, thats where most of the jam is

[granite vigil]

Also what time tomorrow does it open? Like the moment it becomes the 8th ?

[twin holly]

10am pacific friday

[granite vigil]

Appreciate you.

[carmine hull]

is character creation laggy for anyone else ?

[daring jay]

According to the wiki you can have 5 apprentice professions and 4 journeyman professions does that mean I can specialize in 9 different professions or of the 5 apprentice only 4 can go to journeyman?

[twin holly]

of the 5 only 4 go to journey and 3 of those journeyman can go to master 2 of those master -> grandmaster

[daring jay]

Thanks

[signal copper]

my country is blocked, trying using vpn to download the launcher from the web, now its stuck cant login and download the game. sent the ticket yesterday still no answer

[vital jay]

Anyone know what this is about when I try to Dl the launcher?

[storm pine]

What country

[signal copper]

indonesia

there no way im going to download and playing with VPN fulltime

[twin holly]

whatever antivirus or security you got is false positive tagging it as malicious, just disable it for now.

[signal copper]

its about ddos block they implement, website was fine few days ago, i can access and login without vpn on their website, yesterday its look like this. sent the ticket yesterday as moderator suggested. check reddit and other, some ppl have similar issue (some country still get blocked to avoid ddos i think)

[storm pine]

He wasn't responding to your post

[signal copper]

oh sorry 🙂

[tiny smelt]

Is the launcher download out?

[signal copper]

yes

[storm tulip]

I’m at work and I can see it on my mobile taunting me. The last hour of work has been sooooooo slllloooowwwwwwww - can’t wait to download so I can blast this weekend.

👀😭

[vital jay]

Hmm something to do with Chrome. Download thru Edge working fine...

[lament delta]

My launcher stopped in 99%, is this common?

[broken bluff]

Its not. Not within 10 years they can get out of the miserable state its in

[twin holly]

can freeze sometimes, just close and reopen

[lament delta]

Ok

Thanks

[lyric cradle]

[twin holly]

[lilac wigeon]

[twin holly]

[clear mural]

[lilac wigeon]

[lament delta]

[unique blade]

Can someone help me real quick, probly easily answered question.
I Noticed I Can download the launcher now,
My question is about selecting prerequisites to be installed.

visual C++ ..is checked
Easy Anti-Cheat service ..is checked

Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runetime (webinstaller) .. is UNchecked.

Do all things need to be checked off, then hit next?

[kind granite]

Anyone know when realms will go down on Sunday?

[mighty siren]

I believe I just accepted the dwfaults.

[west mango]

sounds fine to me

[lilac wigeon]

idk about edge a lot tbh

but keep em all checked

[unique blade]

oh ok

SO check all

[lilac wigeon]

thats what I have seen people do

[unique blade]

thanks for all the responses 🙂

[alpine dune]

Mine was the same and I installed as you said yours was and it seems fine.

[lilac wigeon]

I for myself didnt check Edge option

[unique blade]

hmmmm ....

[alpine dune]

However I cant log in to the launcher, assuming thats due to us having to wait for servers to open?

[lilac wigeon]

idk about now but worked for me before

lemme check

I can login

[vernal aurora]

#alpha-two-general message

[lilac wigeon]

but I have lost ark opened so I cant open the game

[west mango]

Login Server is up els ppl cant DL the game, you can get to Char creation !

[lilac wigeon]

yeah I also made my char

[unique blade]

so just to get a final answer about the installer / launcher prerequisites, .. is it not required to check the box for Microsoft edge webview2 runetime (web installer) .. ? - I Don't want to mess anything up for the installer / launcher.

[alpine dune]

hmm Give me an error when I try to login, any advice?

[west mango]

try with out if it needs it you can always reinstall

[unique blade]

alright

[kind granite]

thank you!

[lilac wigeon]

seen some people with this error

[west mango]

try restart pc

[hollow burrow]

anyone know what time servers are live for australia on saturday ?

[kind granite]

#alpha-two-general message

[hollow burrow]

thanks

[light ember]

Guys a question😆....The PvP in this game is rewarding similar to Dark Age of Camelot?. Example: you gain realm point to spend on passive or new skill etc?

[faint snow]

When downloading the launcher, does anyone have an idea please?

[west mango]

try diffrent browser

[faint snow]

@west mango I have already tried every browser chrome firexfox opera and edge

[west mango]

i run Brave works fine on site. wierd you cant dl 🤔

[light ember]

try to restart you router

another good solution is to clear your browser cache but i think is a connection issue

[storm tulip]

where are you connecting from?

could be location being blocked by the na amazon server - try a vpn

OR if you have a vpn turned on... turn it off and refresh

[faint snow]

on the other website works but I am in France

[storm tulip]

yeah cool, wondered if mayber you were on one of the islands aws blocks

try a vpn

[tepid yew]

i keep getting error when i try to login to launcher

[faint snow]

so once I click on it on the site with my account I get

[dawn spire]

i keep getting error when i try to download launcher i have disabled nortons but still get the error

[storm tulip]

can you be more specific, kinda hard to troubleshoot ssuch a generic message. its like calling a mechanic and being like "there are error lights on my car"

[slender totem]

Maybe it is an issue on my side, but the launcher has been stuck at 100% downlaoded and file operations at 100% for a while now

I'm a lil scared to reopen it in case it resets completely lol

[storm tulip]

yes I understand your issue, what im saying is use a VPN, the hyperlink to download the launcher - see how it says ff-intrepid-launcher.s3.us-east.... that is where the download file is, basically what that error message is telling you is you are not allowed to access the s3 bucket that intrepid is hosting the download in. If you use a VPN and connect to NA it will probably let you go to that link...

[storm tulip]

its a know error, you have to start again i think

[slender totem]

Worked, thank you <3

[storm tulip]

lol the people coming in here going "i have a error" like.... give more detail and then people can help. no point making us guess

https://tenor.com/view/derp-dog-derp-derpy-people-gif-6233670

Morning all! Just a quick q, do we know if military nodes are coming out in the alpha? I can't find the info on the wiki

[severe badge]

Hey all. I just want to download aoc for tomorrow but my anti virus (kaspersky) just deleted it instant cause Trojaner Warning.. does anyone has the same problem?

[spiral pine]

Uninstall Kaspersky

[charred comet]

So I installed the launcher and all, but when I try to login now on the browser both Opera and Chrome and the Launcher I get a "Credentials have expired" error and says to retry from the application. Tried restarting all the applications with no luck. Anyone else with this issue?

[eager rover]

can I change my account username please?

[solid vapor]

Sorry, i know this info is somewhere im just to asleep to find it, what time does Nov 8th get access? was it 1 PM PT?

[lilac wigeon]

18:00 UTC

[solid vapor]

cool. thx

[lilac wigeon]

in 31 hours if i calculated right

[solid vapor]

yup. 31 h 15 min

[boreal snow]

Does anyone know if they have confirmed or denied the creation of new servers for this weekend? I just hope it doesnt get to the weekend and they realise that the queues are massive and they need new servers. Because waiting for the creation of them just to play would be a bummer.

[solid vapor]

I mean you have to keep in mind this is alpha. So don't expect a flawless system. they are also figuring it out as it goes.

[lilac wigeon]

I would say we need some new servers not just because of the queue and new playerbase coming in

[tepid yew]

how do you download old version of alpha?

[lilac wigeon]

but also to start on an equal ground

as new players

[frigid kiln]

Really hope they do actually, many more players will join tomorrow. So let's see

[lilac wigeon]

and not get ganked by level 20s

lol

[solid vapor]

not sure a lot of ganking will take place with the corruption system 😄 perhaps there will be a few but not that many

[lilac wigeon]

My mage is ready to obliterate

[lilac wigeon]

yeah true but I meant as a whole we need new servers to just start together at the same level

[boreal snow]

New server = Luffy not ready to obliterate tho 😦 lol

[lilac wigeon]

true

but then I'll just have to be fast and make a char

[boreal snow]

yeah you wont get time to make it pretty 😦

[lilac wigeon]

unlucky

or I can just reserve the name

for later

ok nvm the gif

as I was saying

I can just reserve the name for myself later

[boreal snow]

Thankfully its name per server

[lilac wigeon]

yeah yeah but I mean as soon as we get access to em i can go in and make one

if im awake

[soft glen]

if i've opened the game, not even made a character or anything, does that count as "using" the product for the purposes of a refund?

[tepid yew]

is there a way to download the older installer?

[west mango]

no point as they update the installer to ,-)

[boreal snow]

thats a good question, I don't think it counts as its not necessarily playtime. Im sure it would say on their refund policy though

[tepid yew]

i just checked as long as its within 90 days you can get refund

[boreal snow]

Under limited circumstances, Intrepid may offer refunds or credits with regard to purchases you make in connection with Game Assets and microtransactions. You may submit a refund request directly to Intrepid by contacting us via our customer support platform or the payment system. Intrepid may determine, at its sole discretion, to honor a refund under the following conditions: (1) the refund is requested within ninety (90) days from the date of purchase of the item or Game Asset in question (“Purchased Asset”); and (2) The Purchased Asset has not been consumed or used in any way, manner or form prior to the issuance of any refund. Furthermore, and by no means a limitation of the foregoing, any “Ember Packages” purchased as a Purchased Asset may not be refunded or subject to a pro-rated or partial refund if all or any portion of the Ember Package is used prior to the issuance of a refund.

[soft glen]

it says "using any part of the package" which i'd assume to be "participating in a test" which i haven't done yet, but idk

[boreal snow]

I mean you ain't created a character have you?

[soft glen]

no

[boreal snow]

then i think you'd be fine 🙂

[solid vapor]

depends also where you are from. EU has some more strict laws in favor of the consumer. you should be able to refund if you changed your mind. US i dont know.

[soft glen]

australia

[solid vapor]

ah that i dont know sorry.

[runic grotto]

Hi, I would like to buy an Alpha Key but unfortunately I can't log in to the website / shop with my account. I don't even get an error message... Does anyone know what's going on?

[unborn void]

Got a question about the world map. Will it remain the current style or will there be any changes? By the world map, I mean the one that appears when you press M. Maybe I'm asking for too much but any chance of us getting a 3D interactive world map similar to what Black Desert had?

[fossil sluice]

when i try to log in Lotharia EU i have error code 538

[west mango]

To morrow server will be up 😉

[runic grotto]

Can you log in on the website or in the store?

[tepid yew]

i cant even log into launcher fails to authenticate every time

[west mango]

login works fine here, web site

[spiral pine]

Yes

[charred comet]

Yeah I cant login to the site or the launcher, keep getting "The credentials has expired."

[eager rover]

I live in UK
What time can start to join tmr?🥹🙏

6 PM UK time

[nimble heath]

Hi 🙂 wondering when the launcher will be available to download for people who purchased alpha 1 access?:)will it be emailed?

[tepid yew]

u can do it now

people are saying it cause the servers are down but i cant either

[spiral pine]

Only those who had Alpha-1 access has access to the PTR right now

PTR has a visual NDA

[nimble heath]

Awesome thanks mate, sorry a bit slow to all this, do I go to the website to download?:) not sure why I was expecting an email!

[nimble heath]

Thanks mate!

[mortal lodge]

anyone knows why Frame Rate Limit is greyed out here? I already changed the Max Frame Rate in "Manage 3D settings" in the NVIDIA Control Panel. Or should I not worry about this being greyed out?

[tepid yew]

so was i but idk if youll be able to access the character creator seems alot of people are having probles but GL!

[runic grotto]

Can you try adding something to the shopping cart? I'm always asked to log in again and somehow that doesn't work.

[west mango]

try diffrebt browser i use Brave works

ps can add in shop works fine

[west mango]

when you do it in NV panel you hardcode it = lock 😉
Also we are in Aplha not a finish game !

[mortal lodge]

sure, but is it supposed to be greyed out? just want to understand, that's all 🙂

[potent sigil]

I have a friend in this Wave1 when he tries to login ti says cannot authneticate - thats bad news

[west mango]

if its gray out it gray out HAHA

[west mango]

if you pick PTR you get error if you pick Alpha Two you can make a char for to morrow

[slender cipher]

107k members online discord 😱

[hollow quiver]

Do you get to keep all your progress thru the Alphas?

[ancient egret]

full launch will be a full wipe but other then that only confirmed wipe is when alpha 2 turns into beta

[west mango]

yes BUT wipe needet it will be lost but Steven dont aim for wipes

[ancient egret]

other then that they will wipe if needed

[hollow quiver]

is there a projected release date?

for retail game?

[spiral pine]

Nope

[dawn moat]

Do you know which time will servers open in friday ?

[hollow quiver]

Darn!! Well this game looks promising.

[wispy flint]

[worn wagon]

At 10am pt

[hollow quiver]

How long does this weekend beta last for?

[wispy flint]

til sunday 10 pm pst

[hollow quiver]

Sorry Im so used to saying Beta in test games

[wispy flint]

oh until dec 20th then it goes to 5+ days

[hollow quiver]

[wispy flint]

instead of only being up on weekends it'll be up for a number of days at a time

[west mango]

atm we get weekeeds to play/test from 20dec we get 5 days online time !

[hollow quiver]

[wispy flint]

[crisp holly]

[boreal snow]

Change your Global illumantion setting and it will unlock the frames from being fixed

[tepid yew]

im clicking alpha 2 not ptr this is happening

[boreal snow]

the web servers might be down at this current moment in time

[tepid yew]

my friend is getting on

[tepid yew]

on and off with ease but ive been trying for hours same message

[boreal snow]

have you linked your discord with the website?

[tepid yew]

no

[boreal snow]

that would be why then

[tepid yew]

i didnt know i had to do that thanks ill try that

[runic grotto]

I have been trying to log in to the store for several days (with different browsers and devices)... It just won't let me in... I have no idea why

[mortal lodge]

Hmm, how do I do that, please? Is that a NVIDIA setting?

[tepid yew]

would i have to reinstall? cause that didnt help

[spiral pine]

No

[boreal snow]

5th setting down in yellow @mortal lodge

[boreal snow]

have you bought a key for this weekend?

[tepid yew]

yes

[tepid yew]

and when i click log in after i download the launcher it gives me the error

[mortal lodge]

I see, i changed it but frame rate limit and frame generation are still grayed out. But if that’s normal that’s fine. Just not sure whether it is normal or not, you know?

[boreal snow]

it will always be greyed out 🙂

[mortal lodge]

oh ok, thank you!

[eager rover]

How many characters can create?❤️❤️

[boreal snow]

Yeah because you dont appear to have the alpha two discord group, which allows you to enter the game

[boreal snow]

5 🙂

[tepid yew]

oooh how do i do that?

[spiral pine]

I can see the Alpha-2 role on you

[boreal snow]

Try reloading the launcher 🙂

[boreal snow]

Hmmm i didnt see it before you said that lol

[tepid yew]

still doing the same thing

[spiral pine]

Try disabling IPV6

It has fixed it for others

[inland carbon]

Is there a time for when we can play

[mighty apex]

have wave 1 players got their keys yet? I aint got nothing so far

[boreal snow]

[boreal snow]

one last thing to try, try unlink your account with the discord and then link again using incognito mode with your browser 🙂

[tepid yew]

ok no vpn or anything?

[boreal snow]

nope

[west mango]

well if ip is block he needs vpn 🤔

[boreal snow]

why would his IP be blocked?

[tepid yew]

some people were saying cause of attack

[west mango]

as hes use vpn i figure hes in range of ip's that are block

[boreal snow]

Ah okay makes sense

[trim shard]

anyone else experiencing AoC launcher gobbling up all your internet speed?

[upbeat hatch]

will alpha 2 emails be sent out today?

[trim shard]

i never struggle when downloading a game but AoC has made my PC unusable

[west mango]

if it is DL makes sence els try restart it

[stable viper]

Yeah, it did the same for me and my mates, it is standard

[runic grotto]

I have been trying to log in to the store for several days (with different browsers and devices)... It just won't let me in... I have no idea why... Can someone please check if he can log into the store ?

[radiant bramble]

I cant seem to be able to download the launcher, it just goes to a failed page 😦

[viral storm]

thanks guys, appreciate it.

[west mango]

try diffrent browser

[radiant bramble]

oh i think firewall was blocking it, if anyone else has the same issue )

[viral storm]

incognito/different browser always a good first step to try excluding local issues

[west mango]

[next summit]

Anyone get a option to download for tomorrow yet?

[west mango]

Go to web site login an DL

[next summit]

[gusty timber]

Wonderful thank you.

[upbeat hatch]

[subtle lodge]

At work currently does installer download to account or pc

[boreal snow]

to PC

[weak goblet]

to pc

[burnt sierra]

should I select off boxes¿

[near stump]

You should check them all

You need them all. Only question is if you already have them

[abstract turret]

my folder is 56gb

[boreal turtle]

Can i play on the PTR servers? I have the Voyager PreOrder package. I see the option on the launcher but get a error message trying to join it.

[dire goblet]

Has anyone had any success playing on a Lenovo Legion Go? I'm getting xinput1_3 and 0xc000007b error messages.

I've reinstalled directX and C++, installed legacy files, updated .NET framework, manually downloaded system32 & syswow64 .dll files... Still not working 😭

[still thunder]

my launcher has been stuck on 59% for like 30 mins now, any one else have the same problem ?

[upbeat hatch]

let it do its thing

[boreal tapir]

Mine was stuck so I restarted and it continued.

[boreal snow]

I thought it was only people with the Phoenix Intiative tag that can play on the PTR :/ not sure tho

[median quartz]

game installed ) know we just wait to play and hope we can relive everquest )

[upbeat hatch]

i think it detects what you already have. for me only the center one didn't have a check mark

[tepid yew]

any fixes for this yet?

[signal copper]

]

[echo grove]

anyone elses fileoperations just spinning endlessly?

[spiral pine]

Just close and reopen the launcher

[somber jacinth]

Installed and ready for tomorrow's bug hunting!

[daring vault]

i still didnt get a link to download ?

[somber jacinth]

check webpage and login

[boreal tapir]

Check the website?

[daring vault]

dafuq

Thanks :)=

[boreal tapir]

There we go.

[reef socket]

hmm my roles in discord haven't updated

[paper onyx]

<@&542059693779058748> I did a mistake in my recruitment message in the https://discord.com/channels/256164085366915072/763503621052563456 and I deleted it without thinking, now I can't send another recruitment message, is it possible to reset that? Modbot blocking me =/

[boreal tapir]

It gets rolled out bit by bit you will get there.

[torpid shore]

Is there a way to visually see your Reputation score against a Node?

[reef socket]

Not that it matters such as long as the alpha 2 hasn't started. But I'm seeing people getting the role and they've been here for a couple of minutes. Oh well, I guess I'll wait.

[worn wagon]

We can't reset your cooldown, but feel free to let someone else from your guild post the recruitment

[reef socket]

oh wait a second, I was using a different account... derp.

now I have the role

[paper onyx]

Make sense, thank you ShadonSol !

[keen siren]

server say online but im guessing that's just a visual bug

also when is it expected to go online like is there a time widget

[tepid yew]

where does the windows installer download to?

[near stump]

<t:1731088800:f>

[near stump]

On the website when you're logged in. Top right corner

[trim shard]

i didnt check them all, downloaded now. is there a way i can download th rest?

[wide wind]

Is sub classing available during the alpha? As in combining two classes?

[summer lynx]

Is the download ready

[echo grove]

yes

[trim shard]

ye

[summer lynx]

Dope

Thank you

[crisp holly]

Not at the moment. The first we will see of them is in phase 3

[wide wind]

👍🏼

[echo grove]

launched the game to character creation and pumping almost 300fps with frame gen, had to turn that off lmao

[near stump]

Uninstall and reinstall

[echo grove]

I didn't do the middle one and it launches fine, you don't need it?

[wide wind]

What time does the phase 1 release tomorrow? If anyone knows

[near stump]

1. It might cause issues getting into game, or in game
2. You might've already had it downloaded from something else

[crisp holly]

Currently max lvl is 25(which is when we'll get the second Archetype in the future) but I've been seeing that takes 60+ hours of grinding right now on the low end.

[pale jewel]

Can't download launcher from site. I get this site can't be reached. Do they currently have problems with their webbsite?

[near stump]

Per Steven, time to get to max level upon the game's completion will be 4-6 hours for 45 days

[near stump]

Try incognito or try again in an hour. The website has issues when thousands of ppl try to go to it at the same time

[crisp holly]

Currently it is planned to start Friday 10am PST/1pm EST.

[true veldt]

You still getting this error?

[crisp holly]

And this assuming there's not any extra bottle necks with node, mob and/or gear level which I expect there will be

[pale jewel]

might be my anti virus acting up, cus i'm getting notifications that something from intrepid has been blocked

[tepid yew]

i got the launcher but it fails to authenticate when i try to log in

[pale jewel]

yup was the anti virus web shield blocking it for some reason

[near stump]

I mean, if there is endless gear available for cheap on a server, and if you're not competing for grind spots, I'm sure leveling will go much faster.

[solar glade]

Anyone knows when the client download link will be available?

[timber lance]

came online this orning

[boreal tapir]

Check the website after you login.

Look for the download launcher where the join alpha on the top right should be.

[solar glade]

Thank you so much 🙂

[crisp holly]

I'd also expect that if that is the case but I doubt it with how complicated and expensive the crafting is/going to be.
I was more meaning if there wasn't enough crafters available as even just right now if your gear is behind your level too much you can really feel it and I expect that to be even more important at higher levels.

[amber lion]

so as long as I installed the game and launched it then I have access to the game and it's working properly, right?

[boreal tapir]

Sure but remember it can be patched before servers open.

[little yoke]

Hi,

is it also possible to be a part of the alpha 2, without buying a key? Or any possibility to invite a friend?

[amber lion]

for sure, just making sure I don't have to do anything else. Appreciate it

[boreal tapir]

No Problem champ

[near stump]

Nope, access requires purchase (or winning a rare giveaway)

[proud elm]

hello, i've downloaded the launcher for tomorrows entry but Kaspersky keeps saying that it has trojan and deletes it instantly. What we gonna do about it ?

[fresh urchin]

You would need to report that to Kaspersky

And then probably add an exception because that wont get handled in a day

[proud elm]

so its the false report thingy right ?

[boreal tapir]

yes

[spiral pine]

It's a false positive

[brave niche]

Have they sent out the keys to the Nov 8th wave? I haven't seen an email yet

[boreal tapir]

If there is no way to allow an exception before it gets del you would need to disable it to continue.

[fresh urchin]

The key is on your account, there isnt a key you redeem

[boreal tapir]

Go to the wbsite after you log in check for download launcher.

[granite merlin]

I havn't gotten an emial but I've downloaded it from website and gotten access to a2 channels

[fresh urchin]

You can add an exception in Kaspersky's settings

[brave niche]

Oh thank you all for the clarification

[boreal tapir]

That should work.

[tepid yew]

any1 else with this?

[untold ruin]

hi, i have a question : Is the game any good so far? i didn't follow very closely but the promises sounded great 🤭

[spiral pine]

It's still very much in an alpha state

[granite merlin]

general consensus: bug ridden, unbalanced, little content; but fun

[hybrid vortex]

yes got it, just tried again and it worked

[boreal tapir]

I don't know about this have you tried a diffrent browser?

[tepid yew]

yes ive used edge and chrome

[torn dagger]

the only thing that work for me was using a vpn

[tepid yew]

ive used a vpn as well

proton

[torn dagger]

do you have a static ip option ?

do you run free version or payed one ?

[tepid yew]

i dont think so its free

free

[spiral pine]

@true veldt Any way you could help @tepid yew ?

[torn dagger]

most public ips are "banned" due to ddos mitigation system, from what i heard

[tepid yew]

so id need a paid version of a vpn?

[steady trench]

is it reccommendeto be on an SSD?

[torn dagger]

so you need to payed for a good vpn. i took nordvpn and i was able to connect the second after

[tepid yew]

ok

[torn dagger]

i hope it will fixe this issue for you. I don't encouraging you paying for something that might no work

[west meteor]

Id more say required than recommended

[tepid yew]

oh imma def use the trial lol

[steady trench]

10-4

[tepid yew]

but what options should i turn on to make the vpn work?

[steady trench]

and were talking about using a VPN when downloading?

[tepid yew]

no i think just to log on

[torn dagger]

nordvpn work well without option changed but if more people need to use it you may have to activated static ip (that you need to pay more for)

[tall coral]

when we can start playing as 8th nov key owners?

[steady trench]

got it

[boreal tapir]

10 am pst time friday

[steady trench]

i heard the servers open at an odd time

[boreal tapir]

if nothing changes

[steady trench]

oh nvm that would be sick

[fiery frigate]

if i have alpha two access do i have the ptr access as well? if yes, is it open now ?

[true veldt]

What's the issue?

[tulip hatch]

No, currently the PTR folks are Alpha 1 testers

with a handful of A2 folks

[steady trench]

any way to request ptr access?

[granite merlin]

politely

[fiery frigate]

thank you for your response. is there a way to get ptr access ?

[tulip hatch]

They are not looking to expand PTR testers yet ~ if this changes its most likely to be announced

[steady trench]

Thanks, looking forward to this weekend either way!

[tulip hatch]

Youre welcome
-# tiny note previously individuals with high test and bug report activity were brought in first for NDA testing wink wonk

[subtle lodge]

Due to current 3 day windows. If we try A quild an don't like can leave an go right to another.

[tulip hatch]

Well yes theres nothing saying you cant

[tepid yew]

do i need to reinstall? vpn didnt work

[torn dagger]

can"t help you more buddy, it works for me :/

[tulip hatch]

Lets not use this channel as a recruitment place

You can carry non-questions/answers over to the discussion channels #general-discussion or #aoc-discussion

[boreal tapir]

I would try to open up a ticket maybe?
