questions

[mortal geyser]

so whats the deal with these node wipes? and has any info been put out about what we should do with our items in storage?

[uneven musk]

Where do I go / who do I talk to for increasing the certification level of hunting and fishing?

[solar fossil]

Need to go to a cookhouse, if on Vyra there is one in Joeva

[shadow kindle]

#alpha-two-news message

[mortal geyser]

yes, that is in regard to server wipes, steven said in his vod that they are probably going to be wiping nodes soon to implement a new system.

[ruby swift]

That pertains to server wipes, which can still happen if needed. There was discussion of nodes being reset, because having them all at 3 does not test the vassal system and other things.

[neon flicker]

Is there anyway to install AoC not on my C: Drive and on another drive? I don't see any option to choose this during installation.

[desert ivy]

There should be, mines on my G: drive

[neon flicker]

odd, yeah don't see it anywhere. initially install the launcher, then install game, there's noway to change drives, maybe I missed something.

[desert ivy]

If I had decent internet I'd uninstall the game to check for you, but my internet is giga slow and it'd take me a day to redownload if I did Maybe someone else can help but I'm certain I got an option to change the install location when I installed

[neon flicker]

I'll do a full re-install and see if I missed something, thanks.

[shadow kindle]

1:50:38 on the 1/2/25 vod - Dsviceroy uploaded them onto YT thankfully

[stark pike]

Do people who buy into the alpha get access to the beta when that comes out?

Also in the future. Will there be ways to get flying mounts out of being a mayor. Like log horizon where people could do a very specific raid to get griffins

[desert ivy]

The only ways to eventually obtain a flying mount are
Being a Mayor of a Metropolis (up to 5 per server)
Be the guild leader of a guild that owns a Castle (5 per server)
Rare Egg drop from a world boss (limited lifespan of less than a month, only around 10~ or so available)

[neon flicker]

full re-install did the trick.

[stark pike]

Is this the current ways to get them or is this what will be the ways

[spiral pine]

The only currently implemented way is being a mayor

[stark pike]

Also what do you mean by only 10 or so? Like only 10 or so world bosses will be available or only 10 or so flying mounts from world bosses will be available at a time?

[desert ivy]

The latter

Flying mounts are intended to be very rare and hard to get, they don't want more than 20 or so on the server at one time

But they're not all powerful, for example you can't just mount up and fly off whenever. The plan is you need to mount up from a "Royal Stable" which are built in Nodes or are in a Castle area in order to fly. So you can't just mount up and fly off after killing people or gathering. The flight time is also limited, so youy need to remount at a Royal Stable after a while to continue flying

[arctic sky]

Also gliding mounts are not considered flying

So you have that option

[flat quiver]

Hey guys!
Can I get carphen gear by farming sewers or farming inside tower is required?

[stark pike]

How many gliding mounts are there?

Are there any currently in the game?

[marble plank]

can you make purchases with your paypal balance (no credit card linked) ?

[eager grove]

Does anyone know the cooldown period on joining a new guide after leaving one please?

[ancient egret]

i believe its 24 hrs

[onyx crag]

I keep getting service connection timeout code 32 and it keeps closing the game? help please

[main cosmos]

whats the level range a party should be?

[orchid ember]

When a caravan disappears while converting to/from a raft, is there any way to recover it or is it just gone?

[arctic sky]

9 levels is when it's unfeasible

[main cosmos]

so like 19 and 25 in a group is still good?

[kind estuary]

I think within 4-5 is where you want to be. 9 is like 'I technically get xp'

[magic ruin]

any news on release? how can i participate in alpha?

[ruby swift]

Go to the store and buy a package.

It is alpha testing, not release

If you are looking to play a game. Don't buy.

[magic ruin]

bro calm down i only asked a question

[west depot]

getting griefed out of nowhere by ppl on flying mounts all of a sudden.

is this a new thing?

[exotic pine]

Nope

[desert ivy]

Unfortunately that stuff probably won't be fixed until they implement the intended flying mount mechanics

The plan is you need to mount up from a "Royal Stable" which are built in Nodes or are in a Castle area in order to fly. So you can't just mount up and fly off after killing people or gathering. The flight time is also limited, so youy need to remount at a Royal Stable after a while to continue flying

are physical focus a thing past the start? i was looking for one as i have been using the same sanctus offhand forever, and realized that even the general merchant doesn't have a physical focus available for lvl 10

[quasi wolf]

Anyone with a i9 able to get the game to work?

[sterile hamlet]

work in what way?

[quasi wolf]

Work as in at all.

I am crashing at 5% at loading screen for the past two hours.

[tidal pier]

my i9 runs fine

[quasi wolf]

Changed settings and resolution

[sterile hamlet]

whats your other specs?

[dapper crown]

I've been having trouble logging in since December 6th, I'm going to buy an SSD to see if it improves. I have an i7 12th, rtx 3060, 16ram

[quasi wolf]

So I downloaded the intel extreme tuning utility tool and turned my active cores from 58x to 54x and it seemed to help. I was able to log in for the first time.

[dapper crown]

I don't understand much about PCs, I'm afraid to change these things and ruin my PC.

[thorn scroll]

can we not buy excavation kits from vendors? Im in Winstead and general vendor has none

[burnt nymph]

I did a super tiny search with citizen tax as key word, so sorry if it might be redundant:
I wasnt playing over the holidays and i hoped to grind some glint for citizen tax today, but life happens. My taxes would be due on the 9th of january. If the servers are down, will that period get extended according to server downtime? Does someone know that?

[shadow kindle]

I know you can buy them from the Citizen Vendor with that currency. Maybe from the Lab vendor? Apprentice one or Briarfarms area

Wheres a good place for a solo level 6 to grind xp?

What artisan skill do you think is the most worth it to level?

[vital loom]

Is it considered an exploit to bounce between safe/combat zones to trick people into corrupted?

[sterile hamlet]

idk about exploiting, but couruption bait is BM in my book

[thorn scroll]

I am 10 mining now, but it still says novice, I need a certificate apparently? Im in winstead are there npcs there that can sell this I cant find any

maybe smithing vendor?

[glad plinth]

Is it just me or does the game crash / freeze lately?
I don't know if it's the client, Unreal Engine crashing, my windows, my SSD, my PC... everything else works fine but I don't know where to start

[west depot]

changing cpu boost from aggressive to efficient enabled may also work here. there is a reg key to enable the setting in power profile editor

https://gist.github.com/ehsan18t/268fa28f581e512a0a0df66b95daab88

[arctic sky]

Pretty sure the minimum spec says it should be loaded on an ssd

[sinful schooner]

had a freeze 1h ago as well which kicked me out of the game. never had one before

a friend of mine had this too

[glad plinth]

like I have a pretty high end pc with a 4080 rtx, 120GB RAM, 2 SSDs, the game is not on the windows SSD. and I'm relatively tech savy... but I simply don't understand why the game just started freezing since like the 29th December, every 10 to 90mins... and I need to fully close the game and the launcher from Task Manager and log back in in order to not have any persistent bugs or something. Cause if I just close the game and reconnect I might see bugs like: not getting xp, not being able to pick up loot, not seeing my party although I am in one, being dead and reviving right next to my body but being unable to pick it up...

[sinful schooner]

hm, had this only once and my pc is way worse xD

[arctic sky]

Just remember nothing is optimized and they have been letting things run rampant for the last few weeks

Great data from them

Send them a cs ticket if you feel it's useful info

And can't be in to /bug

[glad plinth]

that's why I am asking asking around here, cause if it is something on their side, I'd assume I am not the only one with the same freezing issues.
Also this is wave 2, in Wave 1 I had no issues whatsoever...
now it just has a mind of it's own

[arctic sky]

Yes but they are letting the servers ride way longer

So the crashes happening are useful info

Some shit that didn't effect things with shorter uptime appears with it being up so long

[glad plinth]

but the servers are getting restarted every day at 2 in the morning, so how could that be related? @arctic sky ?

[arctic sky]

Who knows but I've mostly only noticed people complaining after the first week of it being open constantly

[glad plinth]

ok so it's not based on any technical knowledge.

thought you might know something I don't

but thanks for the reply

[west depot]

have you tried letting it resolve ? i’ve only had one crash followed by crash tool appearing, but i do get hangs that can last tens of seconds occasionally but do resolve

[glad plinth]

I've not let them resolve anymore, since for me 10 seconds of non responsiveness = it froze.

[west depot]

just saying there’s a chance it will come back if you don’t close it. freeze or hang doesn’t necessarily equate to crash

[glad plinth]

I'll try that, although that doesn't quite make sense.
Does anyone know the exact location of where crash dumps get stored? I have that setting on in my launched.

[mortal geyser]

yeah but i think im looking for 100% solid statment on what happens to storage.

[west depot]

the only other thing potentially to try is putting the game on the boot drive. not sure what your pagefile setup is like but it could be hanging on hard paging large files from the other drive

[undone coral]

hello everyone, i just recently upgraded my laptop, and everytime i try to login to the alpha 2 i get this message. please help, thank you.

[narrow river]

does anyone have a fix for the 75% bug, been getting it sicne the wipe and i cant play the game

[west depot]

if it’s on, disable gpu crash debugging in launcher settings. this can cause issues

[thorn scroll]

So to make an apprentice pickaxe so I can farm t2 nodes, I need to wait until a town has a mining tools apprentice station?

[glad plinth]

ok I'll try that, I've currently fully removed game and launcher and will reinstall it in a different location.

[atomic mulch]

Is it possible to get a refund I played it once but it’s way over 90 days.

[arctic sky]

You can try but I highly highly highly doubt it

[rose saddle]

I'm looking for a guild

[desert ivy]

Depends how long after 90 days. If it's like 110 days or so then maybe. If it's like a year then no

Is your clock time correct?

[real light]

When I try to log in, I either get stuck completely at 75%, or eventually get in only to disconnect within 2 mins. Anyone know how to fix this? I’ve tried repairing and it hasn’t helped

[crystal beacon]

Try loading up the char creation window and let it sit for like 10 min. Then exit then try loading your actual character.

Some have had success with this. Strangely

[ionic furnace]

Anyone else cant connect ? Keep getting kicked

[crystal beacon]

You might need someone to actually kill you. Or a mob :(. If you are stuck in terrain. I was stuck in a rock once had to get murdered 😦

[fallen lava]

Does the 5g storage at a node persist when you drop citizenship? I assume the 1g storage slots go away?

[flint citrus]

Is there a command to invite people to party if you aren't near them?

i tried the usual ones.

[ancient egret]

./invite name

if it is not working its bugged try to relog

[flint citrus]

ok, maybe I had a typo 😛 ah ok

[sturdy violet]

Cant login the website in order to download the alpha 2 client just stuck on verify human

[undone coral]

oh good call brother! thanks a million

[undone coral]

yeah i just fixed the time zone but i'm still getting the same issue

[sour leaf]

what are the shortkey for hunting?

[shrewd cargo]

If you change the citizenship from one node to another do you lose the storage and if u do what exactly would change from the picture ?

[crystal beacon]

You just pet them to death. Only the ones that have the little white circle. You pet them and then they die and you get their bodies.

Same interact as other things

[sour leaf]

okay thank you

[crystal beacon]

Try resetting your internet router

I get this message too. I press okay. Then it goes away.

But for some it hasn’t. It’s a known thing.

You can try a repair as well from the launcher.

[undone coral]

alright will do! thanks

[solemn radish]

Is the server going to be down tomorrow/Day after for patching? or is it not stated yet which days the servers will be down?

[desert ivy]

Plan for phase 2 is Wed-Sun up, Mon/Tue down

So yeah it'll be going down tomorrow

[spring umbra]

Hey if I buy the alpha 2 second wave bundle, can i give a beta key to my brother and he can play too?

[desert ivy]

No, the alpha and beta key access is automatically applied to your account, it's not a separate key you or someone else redeems

[spring umbra]

oh ok

is it late to gain access? like if i purchase how long is the server gonna be up for?

[analog cargo]

I just bought the alpha and i can't see where to download the client

[spring umbra]

im confused af

what is the difference of wave 3 and wave 2 and having 2 beta keys included in the package lol

[bold creek]

there should be a button on the top right of the website

wave 3 means u can only play during phase 3

currently we are in phase 2

[spring umbra]

but if i buy phase 2 i can play in phase 3?

[bold creek]

yes

its current phase and future phases

[spring umbra]

alright, I feel this could be explained better in the package but just me i guess

thanks!

[small lagoon]

where do you go to complete the burial quest

[desert ivy]

tl;dr

Phase 2 is currently ongoing. It's planned to be up Wed-Sun and down on Mon/Tue until May when phase 3 is planned to start.

Phase 3 is planned to be 24/7 apart from maintenance and update downtime. It runs all the way until the Betas start which is likely multiple years away but has been confirmed to last "at least a year".

The Keys on the store atm give you access all the way until launch through every upcoming testing phase and also gives 1 month of sub time at launch.

[hexed quarry]

has the testing schedule (which 2 days of the week servers are down) been released yet?

[desert ivy]

It's planned to be up Wed-Sun and down on Mon/Tue

[ashen delta]

Are the nodes going to be reset on the 6th? If so does that mean our storage will be whiped out?

[sterile hamlet]

Depends on your distro it seems. Here a guide on the forums on how to get it to work. I can't get mine to buy others have had success
https://forums.ashesofcreation.com/discussion/62094/linux-tips-tweaks-and-troubleshooting-thread

[misty pasture]

i use nixos

[sterile hamlet]

I'm on arch, and so far the last step is getting it to enter the game. I can login make a character, but as soon as I get to the loading screen to start it crashes

[misty pasture]

dows it work if we just use prothon from steam to run it have not tryed any thing linux as i did't want problem before know how linux was viewed

as i just wow to work just by installing battle.net installer as if it was a none steam game and after that i was able to just run that after and wow from there idk if it work the same for this can i get in problem if i try stuff like this as i don't know what their anticheat will see it

so if someone can confirm it save to try make work i'm willing to do some testing

[chrome lintel]

What's the best way to get started on hunting? Is it better to grind low level mobs in hope they respawn as hunting collections? Or to farm things more your level?

[waxen adder]

I submitted a support ticket and after waiting about 2 weeks, received a very kind reply that they offer a 90 day refund period.

In my opinion, the state of the game (cue the clown emoji responses), is not worth $100+ to interact with in any shape or form.

For any others seeking refunds, please do be encouraged to submit for one. The customer service team is super kind and friendly! Just takes a bit to hear back.

Bye all! Thanks for hanging!

[misty pasture]

alpha gameplay is not for all kind of players some want to play and be part of the making process and other just want a working/finish game to play thx for giving it a try though

[fallen lava]

Does that general storage blue crate setting give you more storage spaces? It's the first I am seeing that.

[shrewd cargo]

yes it does

[sonic heron]

Am I crazy or do carcasses just never drop higher rarity? i farmmed over 100 and got 8 uncommon in total( this is after making a bow and hitting level 10)

[shadow kindle]

Saw a Heroic on another discord yesterday but seem like a very low chance

[sonic heron]

i feel like this is the same heroic i've heard about

[proud pewter]

I’ve seen an epic wolf

[sonic heron]

holy shit

[strange berry]

It's entirely possible they are using quality enhancement hunting bows as well. (Bows with a higher chance for higher quality as a 'stat')

[sonic heron]

i have that

[misty pasture]

how to get better fisging poles

[strange berry]

Sounds like you best start praying to RNGesus then.

[sonic heron]

oh ive been doing that

[misty pasture]

i don't think i have enoth ram anything i can do to help with that i have 15 GB ram and i use about 92% and i have seen it affect ofther thing on my pc and i'm on laptop so i can't upgrade

[strange berry]

Probably worth doing something else for a bit too, just so you don't burn yourself out trying for mounts.

[strange berry]

Close everything but the game and launcher. See if that does anything for you.

[sonic heron]

[misty pasture]

it don't see ingame lag but twitch steam and the like being weird

why i think it ram is that i play just as well in ultra as i do low grafic

[strange berry]

Sounds like your GPU and CPU are fine then. But if you've got Chrome/OperaGX/any browser playing music, podcasts whatever in the background, that'd be drawing your RAM too.

[misty pasture]

how mutch ram does the game use for you?

[strange berry]

I've seen people say 21-23GB on start up, then consistently staying around 12 to 18 or so.

[misty pasture]

well my laptop have 15-16 GB total ram

[strange berry]

I myself can't say yay or nay to RAM not being enough, cause my CPU was dogshit.

Cause I did have the same RAM.

But no doubt twitch being up isn't helping your RAM situation.

[misty pasture]

do anyone know if it okay to try makeing the game work on linux idk what anti cheat is used if any

[crystal beacon]

Sounds like this is your problem. You could try restarting, and only having BARE min apps running, no browers, no discord, nothing.

Then load up game, watch task manager. It will show you where the load is.

Its super ram heavy for sure. I have seen it clock in 23G ram in towns and start up

[misty pasture]

the game run fine it things that not the game that show problem while the game is running like watching a twitch stream on brave

[crystal beacon]

Yes, I understand. if you can get the game up, then start 1 program at a time, see which one it starts bogging at.

Are you wireless? wired?

[misty pasture]

the stream i'm watching run better on firefox then brave while game is running tho

just been testing that for the last 5 min

[crystal beacon]

okaie : ) gluck then! sounds like you are on the case

[misty pasture]

and firefox seem to use 1GB ram while brave used 2GB ram so it might be the ram problem with was my idea

so that leave me with about 4-6% more ram free with firefox vs brave it seems

[strange berry]

[misty pasture]

but do we know if linux is allowed with the anti-cheat that used as i have not tryed so it fear of anti-cheat problems just my desktop have 32 GB ram

[wispy seal]

can anyone give me a good spot to farm lvl 10 mage / ckeric gear

[crystal beacon]

highwayman hills is good.

[misty pasture]

this game seems to more depented on crafting then mob farming but idk

[wispy seal]

isnt everything over there heavy and weapons ? @crystal beacon

[crystal beacon]

Nope, Ive gotten lots of cleric gear there, I run 5 heavy 3 Med for the set buffs. Also weapons. Maybe church for you too?

[wispy seal]

i guyessi should have clarified ... light gear xd

[misty pasture]

can someone explain the dodge work in this game as it not the same as other games

i mean i roll but it don't do anything for me so i think i missing something

[strange berry]

Timing, likely.

[exotic cosmos]

Just got the game, which US server do I join

[crystal beacon]

Try jumping when you dodge.

[crystal beacon]

Both are the same. Doesn’t matter.

Just bought alpha two. Sounds liek servers down tomorrow and maybe a wipe? Just wait until server are back next week to start?

[misty pasture]

as i understand it it gonna be more update from now on and we gonna have a 5 days server time per week and tomorrow is a new update

or that what i know from pirate softwere

and the dev have said their want to try to see if their can avoid resetting players for the rest of alpha towns might still be reset and only if something heavly break we get player reset

and yeah wait to play to after the server reboot as there talk of rogue might be added tomorrow so you might have a change to start a character with a archtype that that all new

btw none of this info i said have been confirmed so so it all a maybe and someone said a thing so don't take me words i just relay the info i got

[untold beacon]

Hey im trying to make an ashes of creation account but its telling me my first name is invalid lmao any fix for this?

[misty pasture]

did you enter more then one idk if it a problem if you did

[untold beacon]

Its asking for my first and last name. I put in my first name in the right box and it just tells me it is invalid

[crystal beacon]

like your personal first name?

Try a diff brower.

[untold beacon]

Yeah, my personal first name. I'll try a new browser.

[misty pasture]

my idea was some have more then one first name or first name and middle name just in case that can end up being a problem

[dusk summit]

Did the devs fix copper spawns? It feels as bad as it was before christmas

[untold beacon]

Well now its saying, "There was a problem creating your account. Please check the information below is correct and not already in use". me sad

[crystal beacon]

Not so much needing a fix, More like theres alot of copper being horded.

I did fine 3 of them today in the last hour so I dunno, they arent as rare as they felt for me

[crystal beacon]

Either its your email or user name

[dusk summit]

I thought the spawns are random for copper/iron/etc

[misty pasture]

check if it said it did't work but made the account anyway it happen before to me on other sides

if it did you will have a email to confirm your account

[crystal beacon]

I think people have figured out timing and esp after a server reset. Need people farming the lower mats to clear the nodes for copper to spawn too.

[untold beacon]

that was it! even though it errored out it made me an account xD thank you!

[dusk summit]

ah... so because no one wants basalt and granite... it doesnt free up a space for copper??

[misty pasture]

more then half the time it get one error and it randomly say a other without i feelt i changed anything it was do to the first error did't stop them for makeing the account idk why but it happen alot

[crystal beacon]

That is part of it yes. I fyou need copper you can try looking at one of the markets, I bought some there today pretty cheapo

[misty pasture]

but happy it worked out

[untold beacon]

okay i made an account and buy a key... where is the download link exactly? lol

[bold creek]

on the webpage there should be a GET LAUNCHER in the top right corner

[untold beacon]

thank you evidently im stupid and blind lol

[bold creek]

[ornate storm]

do hidden caches always spawn on the same location ?

can i click the person i wanan whisper back or is there a quick hot key to reply?

[earnest plover]

Hello everyone, if i get this, i will be able to access alpha two right? Just making sure since i got a beta pack 3 years ago lol

[misty pasture]

idk but i used this one https://ashesofcreation.com/shop/product/alpha-two-second-wave-bundle

[earnest plover]

You didn't had a pack before right?

I think this one shows up for me, because its an "upgrade"

[desert ivy]

Yes

[misty pasture]

idk i started with this i just like on 22 or 23 so

[earnest plover]

it worked for me, so its good news

[fathom kettle]

so if a user name is taken when signing up does it always say username or email is invalid ?

[misty pasture]

well i got username invalid as i alowed my brawser to auto fill and it filled in username as email and if that not the case i think it used if it say username invalid

just saying so you don't repeat my mistake

[misty pasture]

btw with in the last hour we had someone that got a error but the account was still made so check your email to see if you have a confirm mail from a account that was made even tho a error was showen while makeing it

[fathom kettle]

I think its taken no email

[lilac tartan]

If it's taken then pick something else. It's just a username.

[minor sparrow]

Hey, i need to make room in my chest and i have ton of basalt/granit. im wondering whats more usefull to turn it into fragments or Armor Molds?

[fathom kettle]

ive tried like 5 different names so far

[misty pasture]

and the username is not gonna be the character name so only used for login and forum and not ingame character name

[fathom kettle]

screw it im smashing the keys to get a username

[misty pasture]

as long you can retype it for login it fine

[misty pasture]

and i think you can even use your email for login

[crystal beacon]

Yep you can.

[fathom kettle]

not smart but noted

[crystal beacon]

That’s a good tip I bet that happens to a few people. Nice

[fathom kettle]

ahhhhhhh

[misty pasture]

i used 5 min before i understanded why it was not working

like as it autofilled i did't see it needed a username as it just looked like the classic repeat email ones and was not able to find the username it complained about for a little while aka the 5 min

and if it can happen for me it can for other

and that is a bug in the html that do it so might be good to report

[fathom kettle]

ok so apprently everyone here uses romannurals in there names over actuall numbers

or i found a web page bug

either way account made

[misty pasture]

nice

do anyone know how to report that btw as i have done a small amount of webside makeing and from my understand it the username if worng formatted so it formatted as a email or something like that samll thing can have big effect in html and codeing 😄

i'm looking a little beween if i shall go support or tank as i don't have any freinds playing doing alpha and i play tank in wow for as i play alot of solo there but in games like LoL i main enchanters

Is there any way to drop a caravan pvp flag? It's bugged and has been stuck on me for over 12 hours.

[near stump]

It only drops on the daily server reset at 2am PST. It is a bug that affects many people that they will fix

[tepid hawk]

Are there any items or ways to increase woodcutting rarity?

[misty pasture]

well tomorrow we getting a update so that might have the fix

[fallen ocean]

Training mobs is banable? <@&542059693779058748>

[desert ivy]

Potentially. Steven said that it's categorised as griefing so it'd be an actionable offence

[fallen ocean]

Yeah but spawn camping its categorised too and people only got a warning

Never saw any warning about training tbh

So thats why i have this doubt

[misty pasture]

will there be any problem in trying to make the game work on linux just don't want to have problem with anything like anti-cheat or something like that so can someone on the staff team conform before i try anything <@&542059693779058748>

[drifting cargo]

How do I get access to type in alpha two chat channels?

[misty pasture]

you login on the webside and link discord there it will then give you the needed rank

[drifting cargo]

Ughhh gotta use desktop it seems and I’m on mobile. Ty tho I’ll get it connected later

[misty pasture]

you can do it from phone

[rigid rose]

Currently there is no support for linux.

[drifting cargo]

I should be able to, but I always forget my disc password. So I gotta use the qr. just issues created from me being dumb lol

[misty pasture]

i know there not offical support but if i get it to work with like prothon from steam or something is that alowed just i will not try if it not

i have a laptop with windows so i can play without

just do to the test phase deal make me want to check more then if it was fully out

[rigid rose]

Is not supported so can not really say. You can contact Customer service if you wish to ask more about it. https://support.ashesofcreation.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[misty pasture]

that channel you linked is marked as no access tho

okay i submit one there insted thx tho

now a submit is done let's see what the replay ending up being

[misty pasture]

the email i got say that no ingame support will be done so idk if their gonna see mine but i have submited one as you said about the linux so incase that not checked i have now inform you that one is send so it can be check by who ever need for the linux thing thx before hand

my username for my account is the same as here if that info help getting it checked 😄

[stoic rock]

When do the servers go offline?

[rigid rose]

They will reply with a answer when they get to it... no in game support is referencing things like fixing bugged characters ect.

[misty pasture]

So things happened by the game being alpha will be skipped as it take to long to fix and as mine is not like that it will be checked is that what your saying Is a way?

[spiral pine]

There are a few folks on the forums with tutorials to make it work on Linux

However since it isn't officially supported your mileage may vary

[kindred patrol]

#suggestion Would love to get the text size on the node window a little bigger - this is set at 100 at the moment, I often have to move the UI setting to maximum to exactly see how much of a material I have in the Node.

[kindred patrol]

For reference this is set to 120 for the UI

[runic wing]

is there a bug or something thats aloowing me to gte attacked in town by certan peaople

[worn pagoda]

people can attack you in town np

[runic wing]

yes but only certain people and the town gards dont kell them but others it dose

im not flagged

that im aware of

[ruby swift]

There are many bugs with the flagging system atm. They will be worked on. But as Wheryibe pointed out, it is intentional that you can be attacked anywhere. The only "safe" space is meant to be in your own house or property (also still to be added)

People can flag on you at will. You do not need to be flagged.

[runic wing]

yeha but in town when people flag thay normaly get attacked by town guards

[ruby swift]

They did add some temporary protections to the low level starting areas, but those are for testing.

[glass lotus]

Guys how long is the server up again today? I know today is the last day for a bit

[runic wing]

thought u were safe in town to sell to market and stuff

[glass lotus]

Oh fk nvm i just found it in news 😅

[ruby swift]

Yeah, like 11 more hours. #alpha-two-news message

[sinful quarry]

Market is really awful to use right now, it really over complicated to compare prices of one item across multiple sellers

[ruby swift]

Again, it is a placeholder put in as a temporary measure during testing. The actual market mechanics will not resemble that in any way. Take it as a win that you even get to sell stuff at this point.

[sinful quarry]

i do understand that, just vented about frustrations in the moment - yes it was not productive comment

some professions seems to be harder to do since materials for them are extrememely rare and/or expensive to get on market

[untold beacon]

what server is the most populated? id like to actually engage with the community and not sink hours into an emptier server.

[ruby swift]

There are no "empty" servers atm. There are only 3. Two NA and one EU. This may change as needed, but most are running near cap.

[hasty thistle]

theyre all full

[hasty thistle]

lyneth is the Streamer server, vyra is the PVP/RP focused server, the other one is the EU server.

To be clear Lyneth has pvp too as its a pvx game, just the hardcore pvp guilds mostly went to Vyra

[worn shuttle]

How do you progress the Echoes of Betrayal quest past the trace the seal of envy step? There is no marker, and none of the seals seem to progress it

[lunar fossil]

how do you get access to alpha two chats?

[lean parcel]

why servers still up?

[ruby swift]

#read-me-first message

[ruby swift]

Because they still have 9.5 hours still scheduled.

[lean parcel]

ah kk thx

[turbid kelp]

anyone got some extra willow woodchips?

[stark steeple]

can get you some, if I can call dips on that epic one 😉

[turbid kelp]

but hes my favorite 😦

[feral thistle]

Is the server going down tonight for 2 days or are we still good?

[past orbit]

#alpha-two-news message I assume it'll go down the usual time tonight and them shut down tomorrow at the time is says on their post.
for me it's 10am pst

[feral thistle]

Do the 2 days offline happen after the restart? Or are those on another day? I see that it says daily restarts but I thought it was 5 days on 2 days off?

[stark steeple]

and he would be mine too

so... deal or no deal?

[turbid kelp]

gotta pass

[stark steeple]

kk

[shadow kindle]

Daily restart is pretty quick. Monday Tuesday days off were mentioned over the weekend in a stream from Steve.

[feral thistle]

Thank you. I was wondering where that info was at.

[bitter trench]

its monday today and the servers are still up, when are the servers going down ?

[fiery yoke]

hello great ppl! i have a question: the tax receipt are bugged? i had 90 to pay tax, and the tax was 90. after that i still had 82... ?? 🤔

[crystal beacon]

is there an easy way to see what nodes have what level of workstations ?

[cold dune]

Realm not ready code 35?

[slender coral]

Same for me

server reset give in 5-10mins

[slender coral]

I thought we had 8 more hours

ah yeah I forget

Does anyone else get the anti cheat “game violation detected” boot to windows issue?

[untold beacon]

thank you. guess ill go lyneth not too interested in being on a hardcore pvp server lol

[gusty lion]

hi there, when i go to / w or / whisper someone in game, and press enter, it just resets the chat....am i doing something wrong or have i unbound something i shouldn't

[untold beacon]

i am having severe performance problems in game no matter the settings. It's stuttering really bad. I'm getting 80-100FPS. I have it installed on a NVMe (PCIe), got a 4070 and a i7-1300k CPU with 64GB of RAM. Is this normal behavior or is something goofy happening on my PC?

[teal pond]

when game go down and when come back agein ?

what times ?

[manic finch]

Hi, my partner bought the game to play with me. She hits the min requirements of the game but whenever she loads in. After about 5 minutes it kicks her out and says that session timed out. She can run around but can't interact. We've tried reinstall and new character. Anyone got any ideas what could be causing it? Or know what I should do to get more info?

[craggy lagoon]

hey just curious if the alpha 2 or beta will have oce servers?

[hybrid dock]

Does this game by chance support Linux? (Debian/Ubuntu or Arch)

[spiral pine]

Only supported platform is windows

[hybrid dock]

Ok, can I at least run it through Wine/Proton?

[spiral pine]

Some have gotten it to work on Linux however

[hybrid dock]

Ill write a launcher on Lutris when I get the chance then. Does AOC use Anti cheats? And which one if any?

[spiral pine]

EAC

[hybrid dock]

Oh should work then.

[torn dust]

Question!
I created a sub character and tried to sell fish to the market, but I can't,
is it because I am lvl 6?🤔

[strange berry]

First, is the game for her installed in an SSD or m.2 drive? If it's in a HDD, see about changing it. That should help. Second, the running about and not being able to interact likely means, as far as the server is concerned, she's already gone. If the game runs fine otherwise but is on HDD, that could be the only issue.

[strange berry]

And possibly the speed of her RAM, but doubtful.

[karmic spear]

Anyone knows where Viscera Slag is?

[strange berry]

Thirdly, as a test bed, have her make a Ranger character and have her either get to lvl 3 or put a point into the 'Mark of the Bear' or the other one. As I've noticed, these can be a key indicator of if the server is responding to you or not. As if you activate the mark or camo, and you don't get the buff? You've been logged out, you just don't know it yet.

[manic finch]

I bought her an ssd only to realise its already on one. Speed of ram might be the issue. Thanks for the feedback. She can't even get out of the portal room without crashing back. Thanks again ❤️

[strange berry]

Yeah, getting out of Lionhold is hell. Hence Lionhell. Best of luck with it!

Probably worth checking what her CPU is doing too.

If it's capping out at all times and such.

And regrettably, even if she gets out of Lionhell, she may still have the same issues, just to a vastly lessened extent.

[floral epoch]

any ETA when subclasses are happening?

[strange berry]

Probably phase 3 or the betas.

[floral epoch]

thankies

[strange berry]

Probably the betas if anything.

[ocean moss]

hello, i have similar issues , i m moving it to my m2 right now, i ll keep an update here. I feel it s a HDD isse, my HDD usage is going crazy as soon as i launch the game ( i think the game is massively trying to send models to the graphic card and the bottleneck on the HDD kills it somehow (all process using the HDD are locking when the game (tries to) run))

[strange berry]

Sounds about right, honestly. I'm switching up to m.2 as well. But my input on the issue as a whole is a bit skewed cause my CPU was about 7years old and didn't help matters.

[ocean moss]

got an overclocked 12600KF to 5.4 GHz

so ...

[rigid rose]

Yes… it should be on a ssd or m.2 is not going to work well or at all on a hdd

[strange berry]

I had a 7600K up to...4.2?

[floral epoch]

the game doesn't preload shaders or precompile them, that makes an HDD unable to read everything in time.

you can see it like this:

• when you're playing, the world is getting rendered on the fly. which means, the hard drive has to read the game files. this makes it very hard for an HDD to follow along due to lack of reading speed

[ocean moss]

yeah i mean, it s an alpha, has to be expected

[floral epoch]

sure thing

[strange berry]

Good to know the actual reasoning though.

[strange berry]

Do let me/us know how it loads up and runs well on the m.2 though. That's in my near future, so I wanna know it was worthwhile beforehand if possible.

[floral epoch]

• if you having issues with freezes on your system, you can try to remove one CPU-Thread in the task manager (set affinity).

• when the game freezes, you are still able to open task manager and kill the game instead of resetting the whole system

[ocean moss]

one annoying affair though is that when you get disconnected that way from the server, the game reboots, and then you have to reload it for 5 minutes 😄

[strange berry]

^

If I have a freeze kickout/crash, it's always a start from scratch job.

Even if I catch it early.

[eager grove]

Can you carry a small oak crate (packed and sealed) on your person? Or do I need to run a caravan to carry it?

[floral epoch]

see it as an opportunity to reset the memory due to possible leaks in the game

• memory leaks are storing dozents of ram over time without releasing them, even if not needed

[ocean moss]

ahahah 😄 totally a feature 😉

[dim ember]

In bug reports, are the coordinates reported automatically or are the information via page-up required?

[rigid rose]

Auto

As long as you are in the place it is about it will be captured

[dim ember]

Thanks. I don't know how many times I restarted reporting a bug because I forgot to press that one button and I wasn't sure. ^^

[ocean moss]

so , also fun, my m2 is 250 GB, was quite used, i free 80 GB to install the 63GB game, and launch tell i don t have enough space because it create a directory and start filling it before testing i guess

[spiral pine]

They recommend atleast 100gb free

[ocean moss]

yep, i can confirm the test is exactly 100GB too ... slowly deleted all i could until it works, worked at 100GB 😄

[grim barn]

Sorry, afk currently. Is the game still accessible? We’re in a 5 day a week cycle now right?

[spiral pine]

It's up for 5 more hrs

[dim ember]

And which will be the five days that we can play?

[vague geyser]

We dont know at this time, im thinking wednsday~sunday but who knows.

[ocean moss]

hey! works like a charm on m2

[strange berry]

Hell yeah! Can't wait.

Gonna be jarring being able to play for more than 20mins. XD

[tranquil fern]

there has been a series of bugs with my caravan. i now have the "recover caravan" button, but i cannot click it because i need to be in range of the caravan. but caused by the bugs, i dont know where the lost caravan is located. how can i figure out the location of my caravan?

[paper onyx]

You don't know when and where your caravan disappear ?

[tranquil fern]

exactly - the caravan was very buggy and i got disconnected several times

[umbral tusk]

Caravan should be we where you last saw it. Many issues in game such as seeing objects, even caravans, can be resolved by resetting your login client, not just the game.
This happens to me often and is the only fix, but has for me been 100% fixable.
So far in phase 2 I have only lost 1 caravan due to a bug, vanished from the Caravan master list, but nothing in the real world yet.
In phase 1 I lost my caravan more than 50% of the time due to some bug, so it is much better.

[lavish jolt]

Hey everyone did the Summoner or Rogue class get added on P2 launch or are we waiting still?

its not working for me or the other person sadly

our over lvl tens work but under doesnt

All realms should be back online!

Note, we have disabled treasure hunts while we investigate an issue.

Reminder that testing is scheduled to run until <t:1736186400:F> with DAILY restarts scheduled to happen at:

• <t:1735120800:t> for NA Realms
• <t:1735174800:t> for EU Realms
  - Discord should show all times above in YOUR local time. During this time realms should be unavailable for up to 30 minutes. When realms auto-restart, there may be a short period of time where player characters are able to login before NPCs, mobs, and other things have spawned.

No it will keep rolling, 5 days a week until May

Then 24/7 until whenever

Why are we loot able waiting for a rez think after death think it body should be loot able after release of body?

[wispy bay]

Which 5 days of the week?

Do spellswords and spellbows still do physical damage and are merely stat sticks or can you do like a battle mage with a great spellsword?

what is the caravan exchange rate?

bc i just lost silver doing a run

[summer lion]

For food production, as fuel for manufacturing

[boreal jewel]

i dont have an upgraded caravan but i spent 25 silver and only gained 20 silver lol

[ancient egret]

never do only 1 node distance and dont do the cheapest packs

[boreal jewel]

i can only do the uncommon ones

i need to upgrade it i guess

carp levels ? what is that

carpentry

for the caravan

[ancient egret]

oh XD thought you mean the fish

[boreal jewel]

lol

[hard heath]

crafting is busted, there is no coal

[ancient egret]

there is no real fast way it would be cheaper to find somebody with the level and buying the upgrades of them

[boreal jewel]

oh i can use the upgrades just not craft

thought i neded the level to use aswell

thank yoiu

[ancient egret]

yer you dont need any levels to use the higher level caravan stuff

then why am I constantly seeing the guild with the most skilled player on my server grief in this manner? I can only assume that they should know what they are doing which then makes me question how likely they are to get sufficient punishment to discourage such actions

[mint widget]

Hello everyone, I live in Dubai UAE, what server should I play on?

[dark jungle]

the developers are just coming back from 2 week vacation. all griefing reports will be addressed

[rocky raft]

when will the servers go offline?

[high yacht]

11

or 2 hours from now. Depending on your timezone

[rocky raft]

thanks!

[bronze flame]

The servers are actually going down for the next 2 days for fixes and such, today starts the 2 days down, 5 days up, but there is a EU server that's probably closer to you

[prime swift]

@grim sagein winstead they have requisitions that require fish. you can get tickets to buy NPC stuff.

[mint widget]

Thanks man, so there is no ASIA server I suppose, so its EU server for me after the fixes? Any suggestions are welcome

[bronze flame]

Correct, there's only 3 servers currently. 2 for US. 1 for EU. But they are not region locked

[elfin heron]

i havnt been paying attention. how long are servers up? is it still only weekends?

[bronze flame]

They're down Monday Tuesday. Up weds to Sunday starting today

They plan on following this up/downtime schedule. Up to phase 3 of the testing, though the days up may change per week. Due to issues. It will be up 5 days out of the 7 day week

@elfin heron

[gleaming stag]

Why do I got man tits

It's just a visual bug. Atleast your toon wasn't stripped of all body hair and turned black? Lol

[gleaming stag]

[bronze flame]

Mine was and got the boobs. Loool

It comes and goes though, you can relog a few times to fix it. But it might re appear anyways lol

Certain armor pieces cause that bug

[dawn minnow]

What chest plate is that? My Dunir needs a set of moobs!

[sullen chasm]

any way to grab a caravan that is inside a rock?

[wise sage]

is it possible to play the game primarly as an artisan?

So if i just want to get a boat and be out at se and fish i can do that?

[versed marten]

is the server coming down in less than 2 hours?

[neon stirrup]

For how long it will be down?

[boreal jewel]

are they restting the nodes?

[mossy ridge]

Do we have the specific equation for how power rating from gear turns into physical power?

[ancient egret]

possible yes viable is the better question

[worn umbra]

They are not resetting anything, they are transitioning to 5 days of up time/week

[wise sage]

Ty!

[vale garnet]

after the servers go down today how many days will they be offline?

[ancient egret]

no eta

could be 2 days could be 14 days

ok, then i have 2 days to decide if i should buy into the alpha or not 😄

[rocky raft]

people said there would be a wipe? ive been lead to believe there were no more wipes rather aidditional servers in the future

[ancient egret]

people are talking about stevens stream last night he talked about how they where gonna handle vasalisation and that could either be a node wipe as in only the nodes or that they would do it retro actively (also they never said no more wipes they said no more planned wipes they would still wipe if they felt they needed 1 `)

[stoic dock]

ive heard that they are wiping those who cheated

[ancient egret]

they have said they will be punished what that will be we have no idea

[bronze flame]

This is the start of 2 days offline, 5 days online.

[rocky raft]

thanks!

[stoic dock]

i mean no one knows right

its 5+

could be 5 6 7

[bronze flame]

Hey just a quick question I check in every couple of months but did they start sending out invites for the content creator program yet? I think I've been waiting for an email for like 2 years now lol

Nope

They hired a guy awhile back to handle the CC program but it's still ways out

[chrome flame]

UE5 will put out that warning for Gen 13 and 14 processors

[swift iris]

Are the servers uo heard they were down today and tomorrow but been told they are still up

[worn ridge]

they are going down in about 26 minuts

[fervent rampart]

Nothing for Intrepid to clear up. Intel fucked up their chips (from a Hardware perspective) which has impact on the running of games. Not just on Ashes, but all games

[swift iris]

Is there a estimated down time

[fervent rampart]

2 days

[worn ridge]

Wednesday

[flat hearth]

Servers going down today?

[languid tiger]

yup

[flat hearth]

When

[summer lynx]

Now

[languid tiger]

if they follow the schedule in 2m

[flat hearth]

No announcement

[languid tiger]

here

[summer lynx]

Your inability to read doesn't mean there wasn't an announcement

[flat hearth]

They usually spam announcements saying its goin gdown

[languid tiger]

true, but as I said, if they follow the schedule it will be going down now

[grizzled current]

[opal mountain]

taxes can be paid with glint?

[languid tiger]

I think they are paid with node currency, no?

you asking if you can trade glint for it?

[summer lynx]

They are paid with glint

[stiff hare]

can i ask a launcher question here?

[summer lynx]

Try asking the question instead of asking if you can ask

[opal mountain]

lol can tax receipts be purchased for glint?

[stiff hare]

sorry I didnt want to ask in the wrong place, I am starting alpha 2 for the first time and the launcher has been stuck at 99% File Operations for the past hour, is that normal or I will have to reset?

[summer lynx]

Kill the launcher and restart

Also the servers should be down now anyway so

Might not work for a few days?

[stiff hare]

oh they are down? Thanks for letting me know, I just had the time to test the alpha, guess i came back when it ended kinda

[summer lynx]

Nah

It's just down for like two days

Maintenance/patch time

[woeful comet]

Is there any truth behind the 2nd EU server rumour?

Looks like you can play then, Pharaoh. Excited?

[austere galleon]

Do we know which 5 days of the week the game will be up now that we are into the 5 up 2 down part of Phase 2?

[hushed cave]

Monday and Tuesday is offline days according to Stevens livestream

[austere galleon]

Thanks.

[obtuse quiver]

Awesome information, i wasnt able to tune into the livestream, and my days off are wedensdays and Thursdays

https://clips.twitch.tv/DarkCautiousGarlicANELE-pao8zo8zqEwlypY0 @idle siren what are you doing to him haha

[crystal beacon]

Is phase 2 weekends only? Where can I find the server up time schedule?

[twilit isle]

mon tues down time at the moment

[crystal beacon]

ty! is there a place I can look to find if/when the servers are up?

[stray flame]

Why can't I talk in general but I can here

[twilit isle]

when did you join

[stray flame]

Like, years ago

[twilit isle]

well that answer seems to be above my paygrade. If its any consoloation, i cant type there either. But i just rejoined the dc today sooo

[stray flame]

Yeah i been here 5 years, is there a new verification system maybe?

[hushed cave]

have you checked the read me channel?

[stray flame]

Yes but it seems the buttons do nothing for me

Lemme reconnect maybe

[languid tiger]

taking advantage of terrain to kill mobs is an exploit?

[twilit isle]

I would imagine the degree with which you are taking advantage of said terrain

[languid tiger]

jumping over fences to take advantage of mob pathing

for instance

to avoid damage

[twilit isle]

then no

if you bugged him out in the terrain i would say for sure

[undone coral]

Can anyone help with this please? it was working fine on my other laptop

[twilit isle]

servers down?

[languid tiger]

nope they are not down

[undone coral]

I havent been able to login to download the game on this laptop for the past 4 days now

[languid tiger]

it was extended till tomorrow

[languid tiger]

ty

[undone coral]

any ideas on this?

[twilit isle]

ya there was supposed to be a ? there, oops

[sterile wadi]

Are you behind a VPN?

[undone coral]

no i am not

[latent acorn]

What type of bug is a caravan issue

[mossy ridge]

Where/what does Bloodrunners gear drop from specifically?

[worn wagon]

You can try disabling IPV6 and resetting/restarting your router. Also make sure that the time on your laptop is correct

[undone coral]

ok i'll try that thanks!

[ruby swift]

Make sure to check all the various tabs. If it isn't there, others have reported that a log out, then in. Sometimes with a 5-10 min pause has restored what is missing.

Or you just may be out of luck. Happy bug reporting.

[stiff hare]

im trying to launch into a server, i created a character and everything and a few times now it crashes to desktop, i also repaired via the launched and the issue still presists, is there a workaround?

it CTD during the loading screen, at 75%

Known issue. They have literally just got back from vacation today, so there may be a fix incoming. Till then, this thread may have some hints to help you. https://forums.ashesofcreation.com/discussion/64760/stuck-at-75

Day 2 of asking: Steven, is Castus one of the Other gods?

[hasty pulsar]

Steven is at the beach. The weather is amazing today.

[random crater]

@exotic pine It might be worth trying @idle siren if you have a question for him

[tacit rose]

Shhhhhh Are you insane? We have enough humans infesting SoCal.

😉

[exotic pine]

No no, we don't bother steven directly. Castus will come when he comes

[random crater]

I am not sure i am upto date with what is going on here then lol

[orchid elm]

I’m kind of confused, is there a specific place that says what days will be online and what days will be offline? Or will it vary week to week?

[rotund sandal]

Is there anyway to get in the new alpha?

[ruby swift]

There has been no official statement on the Discord. That being said Steven in his own Twitch stream from a couple days ago said he is thinking Mon/Tue down and Wed-Sun up is his plan.

[ruby swift]

You can purchase a package with access on their main website. Realize it is not a game you are playing, but a testing client. Do your research before spending money.

[rotund sandal]

appreciate it

[ruby swift]

There are tons of streams out there and hundreds if not thousands of hours of the current state of testing.

[flat surge]

Does anyone have recommendations for a video guide on the AOC systems?

[ruby swift]

The wiki is kept up to date with all the planned systems and mechanics. There are links to all the various video and livestreams that Intrepid has put out over the years. If you are looking for a creator, just pick one you like that is currently covering it. Thor from Actual Pirates has by his count almost 500 hours in the current testing. https://ashesofcreation.wiki/

[lean timber]

Hello, my game crashes when I go afk for like 1-2 mins. Does anyone have the same problem? Or maybe even better and someone has a solution?

[stable plover]

Are you alt tabbing when afk?

[lean timber]

Nope

[stable plover]

I'd recommend starting off by monitoring your system resources and seeing if something like hitting 100% RAM/GPU/CPU use is happening before the crashes happen.

[lean timber]

Yeah that is the crush problem but why the usage become 100% when I afk I have no idea

[turbid zodiac]

anyone know what to do if you cant remember your one time code?

[latent goblet]

Is there somewhere that lists min spec to play? I understand its under development but I really dont want to buy into something I can't run 😛

Also if you buy the second wave bundle will you need to buy the third way bundle in may?

[ruby swift]

No, any package you buy gives you the next testing, all the way to live launch, plus a month of sub. https://ashesofcreation.wiki/System_requirements

[stable viper]

No, you get access to everything up until the game

[latent goblet]

Thanks!

[winged basalt]

If i buy the alpha for phase 3, how long would i be able to participate in it? how long does a phase normally last? How many days of availability for playing?

[ruby swift]

If you've forgotten your two-factor authentication (2FA) code for Ashes of Creation, you can use your recovery code to regain access to your account:
Go to the 2FA prompt and click Try another way
Select Send a Two-Factor verification code to your email
Open your email and find the code
Enter the code in the SECURITY CODE field
You should have received a recovery code when you enabled 2FA on your account. If you don't have a recovery code, you can contact the site's support to disable 2FA on your account.

[ruby swift]

P3 doesn't start until May and is predicted to last for at least a year. That phase is meant to be up 27/7 with regular server downtime for updates and such like any mmo or live game. We are currently in P2.

[ivory verge]

Still nothing concrete on summoner?

[outer fog]

@here All Clan Soul Deus (EU server) use glitch with red wall on water. ther are RN do caravans fron New Aela to Desert . is it normal?

[ruby swift]

Summoner is not planned to release till sometime in P3.

[fleet flame]

If I were to buy alpha 2 phase 2 right now, how big is the download and can I play tonight?

And, how often / are their scheduled wipes?

[ruby swift]

Nah, bro, I was joking. They only apply on account creation. I have enough. Thanks though.

[ruby swift]

60g ish. And servers were meant to go down earlier today, but their uptime has been extended for an unknown amount of time. So your answer is maybe, or maybe not.

[worthy gulch]

no planned wipes at this point, but alpha, expect a wipe

[fleet flame]

How long are servers down usually when a patch happens?

[worthy gulch]

15 min to 2 hours

could be longer depending on issues

[ruby swift]

But this is meant to be a longer downtime when it comes. The latest plan till May is for servers to be up 5 days a week with Mon/Tue (US) down and Wed-Sun up. (last mention 2 days ago on Steven's Twitch)

[marble loom]

oh my god freak out level hitting all time highs. foe rage lots of rage. now crying in corner

server is down. im better now though

[fleet flame]

So even tho the servers are expected to be down mon / tues, that's only for patch window which is usually a couple hours?

[worthy gulch]

servers will be down 2 days a week (expected). but hotfixes can come at any time. bigger patches are expected every 3-6 weeks.

[umbral blaze]

um so I just checked my mail lol since forever and says i was among the 100 winners selected from AoC alpha two gleam giveaway , and its from their email so is legit . Is this rare ? and can I still get access even though too late ?

[fleet flame]

Is that meaning down for the 2 full days, or down just here and there during the 2 days ?

[ruby swift]

"even though too late ?" pretty much answered yourself.

[ruby swift]

Full two. But like anything else, stuff can change. Like today, it was meant to go down two and half hours ago, and then they decided they wanted it up to see certain things, so it will stay up until they don't want it to be up.

It is a testing phase, all time windows stated are goals. You are owed nothing if they don't hit those goals or they change. Sometimes the gods are in your favor, and they do something like they just did and leave the servers up for 2.5 weeks while on vacation. Sometimes there are game breaking issues that occur that may require a longer than 2 day downtime. Go with the flow brother.

[fleet flame]

I 100% understand and completely agree, I get it. Just trying to understand the "default".

[vague geyser]

Question, does anyone know what / is used to change chat to global? iv figured out for guild/party/say chats but cant seem to figure out for global chat.

[pliant hemlock]

wow now I fell dumb, oh all the ways I tested it never would have thought just typing the name would have done it but makes since as /g changes to guild xD

[drifting oriole]

dose anyone know how to refund?

[desert ivy]

https://support.ashesofcreation.com/hc/en-us/articles/360018517854-What-is-the-refund-policy

Contact cs there

[exotic pine]

Anyone have any decent fixes for character list errors?

[ancient egret]

if its been more then 90 days since you bought the pack or that you have played more then a few hrs you likely wont get a refund just so you dont waste your time if any of these apply

[sterile hamlet]

how long is the test expected to continue for today?

[vague geyser]

As far as we know tell the cut off time in the early morning for whatever time it is for you.

[rare oriole]

From the wording, I would assume it'll be up for the rest of today (ie. next 11 hours) US Pacific Time.

[strange tendon]

@idle siren Will slime mobs ever be added into the game? possibly even as a tameable pet?

[ancient egret]

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Edulis there was in alpha 1 and the ability to tame battle pets is a feature down the line

[molten plaza]

anyone know how to return items to the "mayoral commission depot"?

[strange tendon]

i remember reading about the battle pets, i know its a sub action of animal husbandry, was not aware slimes already made it in though, thats exciting, they are a huge staple i feel like in traditional mmos

[unreal lion]

When rogue

[primal talon]

so from my understanding by a previous stream. trolling groups by just pulling mobs onto them is a punishable offense right? if so how do we report that? we have a player named Kayn who is trolling everyone in steel bloom for the last few hours training mobs onto groups

[ancient egret]

record it and send a ticket to there CS

right now we have people screen shotting it. i think some sent in recordings

yall know if there are any lag fix or performance boost for ashes? feels like its not smooth at all for me even with low settigns

[ancient egret]

recordings are the only real way screenshots show to little context

[ancient egret]

its fully random some rly low level setups run the game perfectly and some people with a 4090 and a i9 cant even boot the game

[nimble talon]

i herd it was easy to get a invite key
where do i go about looking for one

[sterile briar]

Anyone mind dm'ing me like a guide lol cause bro I legit am lost. I just need to know what to actually do to level efficiently. I am going to be starting a new char to make it easy,

[crystal beacon]

You buy one from the ashes website

[nimble talon]

good one

so no giveaways

[crystal beacon]

Maybe some streamers have had them I don’t know. 🤷

[ancient egret]

nope

not at the current moment

[crystal beacon]

Doing commissions and killing mobs around your level will get you to lvl 10 pretty easily.

If you find a group great but don’t stress it before lvl 10 imo if you can’t fine one. Just. Keep. Killing.

Keep an eye on general chat and around where you are killing mobs for groups if they are there join them.

[sterile briar]

Okasy

[crystal beacon]

Here is a rough map of level areas to kill mobs in.

[formal swift]

I have e heard rumors about nodes being reset and potential loss of storage items. Is there any truth to this and is there anything intrepid plans to do to accommodate everyone losing their entire storages?

[crystal beacon]

It was mentioned vaguely in a stream.

There is nothing official. If and when that would happen there would be a post about it giving notice in https://discord.com/channels/256164085366915072/1299155635220512788

[south sigil]

I have a question i'm sorry if it's stupid but can anyone let me know what does this mean do I have to pay after the first month?

[polar escarp]

hi is there any option to change camera speed?

[strange tendon]

eventually yes on full release

[south sigil]

So if I bought it now I don't have to pay anything other than the alpha key ?

[strange tendon]

For the moment yes, on full release you will need to pay a monthly sub

[south sigil]

OK thank you for the help👍

[molten plaza]

having trouble completeing a mayoral commission, where is the depot to return materials?

[old oyster]

ill like to report someone who is lvl 25 grieving 15+ players at steelbloom hes been doing it for 4 hours str8 just brings mobs in and loots our body i am beyond pssd off where do i go to report!

[digital sonnet]

If you're reporting a player, at this time we do this through Support tickets. Here's the form to report a player: https://support.ashesofcreation.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=360001431573

[primal talon]

thank you. that guy has been trolling everyone in steel bloom for hours

[grim narwhal]

This is a planned in-game mechanic with node siege wars. In the future, nodes will be able to be destroyed (after a successful siege). The attackers (of the other node) can wipe out buildings or the entire node infrastructure. If the node is destroyed a % of items in the node warehouse will be able to be looted by the attackers and the rest will be destroyed.

Think of it as incentive to defend your home

[ruby swift]

He is talking about a developer reset of the nodes which will be incoming to test things like the vassal system as nodes level (since they were all artificially boosted to level 3 instead of letting occur naturally early in this test). The other point on that is you are owed nothing if they do so. Just like any potential server wipe. If Intrepid needs to take that action, at any time, for development reasons, you will not be getting "accommodation"

[grim narwhal]

Ah, my mistake.

[thorn scroll]

can we get freeholds right now? dont you need to do a level 50 quest or something?

[ruby swift]

Yes, level 20, 100g, and available (not already owned). Freeholds are in a very first iteration state and just like many systems the level requirements and mechanics for "live" are not being followed for testing purposes.

[stable plover]

Also, if you don't already have a freehold you might need to wait for a freehold to open up as most have already been purchased.

[latent sluice]

Quick question, trying to log in on the website but it keeps telling me I need to verify my email. I've gotten the email, and when I copy/paste the link, or click the button it asks me to, it takes me to the same screen stating "Please verify your email before logging in". Is there any fix to this? Or am I screwed?

[tardy citrus]

Trying to start a treasure map but nothing is happening, have they been disabled or something?

[upbeat elk]

Try clicking the sign in button

[south sigil]

I wanted to create an account in ashes of creation and there is a referral code option is there a place to find this like someone who is playing and get the referral code so that they benefits and I benefit

[brave stirrup]

should have mob levels as an overlay on the main map to see where to go to exp at

[latent sluice]

I did that, it just prompts me to verify my email before signing in. Even the email it sends for verification gives me the same page/popup.

[upbeat elk]

Just made a new account with no verification issues. Is this a new account or an old one you're logging into after a while?

[latent sluice]

Old one I haven't logged into I guess. I don't remember making one but i might have a long time ago when I first showed interest in the game.

[upbeat elk]

Then it probably needs a customer support ticket
https://support.ashesofcreation.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
There have been issues with older accounts logging in.

[ruby swift]

There was a website "revamp" done a few years ago that kinda reset all accounts for that. Some people have experienced issues after returning after a long time. If you are certain that is the email that you signed up with and are having no relief, customer service ticket is your best option. Realize they got back from winter vacation today and have thousands of tickets during the testing period backlogged, so it may take a while for a response.

[latent sluice]

Yeah I even tried just hitting create a new account and it prompts me with the same issue of "verify your email before signing in" so I can't even make one with a new email. But I did just create a support ticket.

Going to try a different web browser, maybe it will be different.

[little yoke]

hi guys i have a question, today i checked the videos and compared alpha 1 and 2 and i recognized, that the scaling and character model was bigger before. Is it just the camera view or the scaling of the entire world?

For example in Apocalypse and the beginning, it looked more big. Do they keep it like current status?

[crystal beacon]

i have a quest for a buy order and wanting to fill the 2 fragments and 2 planks orders... I see that some ppl have done this some 52/300 or what ever. How does this work not sure where to go to fill. The container on the ground is not opening. Thanks

[waxen rampart]

When crafting items can you choose what stat they roll with or are they set to a specific stat?

[hazy night]

Bought into the Alpha today and I keep getting kicked out saying ‘Connection to the Realm timed out’. I have lowered all my video settings and have tried different realms. Turned off my Firewalls as well to no avail. I’m guessing the internet up here in ND is not strong enough.

[south quest]

what does it mean when it says quantity rating on the mining shirt?

[near stump]

Chance for more quantity of resources when mining, but the stat currently doesn’t work as you never get more than 5 for a large node.

[surreal plover]

do we know if it is a bug or feature to sometimes catch two fish on one cast with the apprentice fishing rod?

[south quest]

aw man i wasted my linen. ty though

[near stump]

There are a lot of profession stats that seemingly don’t work.

[south quest]

which ones do

[near stump]

I don’t have an extensive list, and most are my speculation so test it out and make the assessment. Hopefully they’re all working as intended soon.

[south quest]

ok ty

[safe mango]

Is there a point to take my mining past journeyman minus the next two picks mine quicker??

[thorn scroll]

can we level farming without a freehold?

where are there plots if thats the case

[strange tendon]

all bought from my understanding, there were only 61

[thorn scroll]

huh?

ohh so the answer is yes you need a freehold

[strange tendon]

all freeholds have been purchased

you can level to a point without it

[thorn scroll]

gotcha...thats lame, it should be instanced so we all get a chance , not everyone is in a mega guild racing for the 100g lol

[valid condor]

Not yet, but you need journeyman tools to mine journeyman resources ect for the higher levels

[surreal plover]

awww owning a house was what i was looking forward too most so i guess ill have to grind on full release! but the farming tables in the nodes will have to do for alpha haha

[strange tendon]

same, unfortunately, the best way for the average person to make gold was caravans, and i think the mega guilds farmed those a bit too hard for the average player to be able to make the 100g

[supple spoke]

currently trying to play on apple m1 on with a windows on arm vm (parallels). Looks like i should be able to launch the game, but EaC blocks executions because it doens't support arm cpu. Is there way to disable EaC for alpha testing or does it need to be strictily enabled?

[astral mortar]

This seems ridiculous though. Farming being made easier with a freehold makes sense, but surely there's a way to grind it without

[surreal plover]

there are tables in the nodes, but do you mean beyond what that gives us? i just started so the only way I know is in the nodes but im interested in an answer as well if there are more options!

[valid condor]

Open world housing is planned on being rare, even on release, but instanced housing should be available to all.

[subtle heart]

whats a good archtype for a solo player? i know its more of a group MMO but just want to play a chill solo toon every now and then

[timid ocean]

ive had some fun times with combat cleric, fights are a bit slow but at least up till lvl ~11 i really didnt have many issues in fights, especially after getting enchant weapon

good sustain, solid hp, below average damage until you get enchant weapon tho

[strange tendon]

With the rumors of nodes being reset, will caravans be destroyed at those nodes?

[near stump]

I’m not sure what that other person thought you asked, but yes, you can level farming at the farming station inside any node. Find the icon on the map in town or ask a person to walk you to it. You can lvl to 50 by making basic items. No need for a freehold.

[thorn scroll]

yeah but cant grow anything, and thats really the point I would think, but good to know I can make fertilizer until I am blue in the face

[worthy gulch]

not sure that's accurate, some of my crafting crew has grown a ton of cotton/flax at those same stations

[thorn scroll]

wait what, you CAN grow at the table?

[south quest]

would the metalworking quantity increase. increase how many copper shards you get?

[worthy gulch]

the thing you might be thinking of re freeholds is that you can PLANT harvestable nodes there (like larch or willow)

[crystal beacon]

Yes. You need to make mulch for some. Or use droppings. Who would have known poop would be so valuable 🙂

[fleet flame]

Where there be a wipe for phase 3?

Also, if I bought phase 2, would that price also give me phase 3 included?

[upbeat elk]

No planned wipe, and buying an alpha key includes all alpha and beta phases.

[buoyant falcon]

And one month game time at launch

[maiden mason]

Are servers down now?

[buoyant falcon]

No taht i can tell.

[fleet flame]

Will phase 3 come with fresh start servers or will it only be existing servers?

[round gorge]

only wipe will happen is at launch

[chrome flame]

Phase 3 i think will launch fresh servers and the existing three will continue to operate as normal

[upbeat elk]

#alpha-two-news message there will be fresh start servers

[buoyant falcon]

Anyone know where Scribe Monroe is located?

[proven jewel]

This is not true, as I have received 6 from large nodes, and 3 from smalls. The amount alone on your tool is probably not enough to do it consistently, but with node buffs in addition, it happens regularly.

[jolly trail]

Are there daggers? If so are there dual daggers or 1h dagger in ruins of aela at the start? running around but I cant find them

[desert ivy]

Daggers aren't in yet

will most likely be added next month when Rogue is planned to be added

[waxen rampart]

Cleric uses academus set for PvP change my mind

[jolly trail]

google lied to me. thank you

[buoyant falcon]

I would guess daggers will come with Rogues.

[buoyant falcon]

Have not seen that set. I am 14 cleric have three pieces of Ashen Haunt gear and other stuff. Solo and duo with the wife a lot so the ashen haunt helps me be more hardy.

We dont go out of our way to PVP

[dense escarp]

Where do I go to find the server schedules?

[desert ivy]

Current plan according to Steven on his livestream a few days back was Wed-Sun up, Mon/Tue down

[digital sonnet]

We post Alpha Two schedules in #alpha-two-news

We've extended testing, as we work to hunt down bugs from reports we've had over the last couple of weeks. Post here about this: #alpha-two-news message

Expect another post from us there tomorrow. During Alpha Two Phase II we plan to be up at least 5+ days in a week, and we'll have more info soon about what testers can expect this month.

[dense escarp]

@desert ivy Thanks

@digital sonnet Thanks

[waxen rampart]

Yeah 5 x bloom and 3 x academus seems to be the go for the extra damage mit

[bronze kelp]

confused how to connect crafting station to storage?

[prisma plinth]

anyone else not being able to connect rn?

Code 32 service request timeout when I open game

i just let it go, didnt hit close and eventually it worked

[thorn scroll]

Are treasure maps bugged right now? I ate a greeen one and it did nothing, no quest, relogged, nothing still

[sudden swift]

they re bugged i would wait till they patch it

ive been staking them

[thorn scroll]

damn didnt know

[buoyant falcon]

Some have worked others didnt I am also waiting for more

[hard heath]

is there a way to expand the buffs? like if it says +17 buffs, is it expandable?

[near stump]

That’s a node commission benefit, not tool quantity

[potent glen]

If i kick someone from a guild, can they rejoin the guild immediately, or will the cooldown prevent me from reinviting them back?

[stone otter]

Hey folks! Anyone know if I need an Excavation Kit with the same rarity as the treasure map i am hunting?

[sterile hamlet]

yes i believe so

[ruby swift]

ummm, the cooldown, cause that is what it does.

[nova vessel]

anyone know why i cant change resolution quality or turn off dlss?

running a 3080 and ryzen 5 3600

[thorn scroll]

will game be shutdown tomorrow?

[ruby swift]

There has been no post about what their plans are beyond extending today while they gather data they want from it being up. If they need it to be up, it will be up. Till they post in #alpha-two-news something different, cherish every second.

[thorn scroll]

lol yeah

[tough plover]

When is rogue plan to be release into Phase 2?

[ruby swift]

Last information given is that they think it will hit the PTR for testing late Jan and possible A2 client release mid/late Feb.

[lapis yacht]

My mouse speed is like 1/4 of what it should be. This seemed to happen on its own. Has this happened to anyone else?

[granite lodge]

Logitech? Some logitechs have a 'Precision' button

[lapis yacht]

Oh right I’ll check that

[lapis yacht]

💯 thanks bud you are a genius funny thing is I knew about that button just didn’t think of it. The not so funny for me is I was humiliated as it started happening in PvP 😂 I couldn’t turn

[south mirage]

Any Ashes Developers in chat? Had some questions about working at Intrepid.

[shadow kindle]

I think its 9pm PT. Might have more luck during PT business hours

[south mirage]

@shadow kindle Why you think they sleep? 😂 Smart thinking. I'll shoot again tomorrow.

[blazing panther]

Is there a bard specific discord

[grizzled furnace]

May be a dumb question but If you purchase the alpha do you have to purchase the game again at launch?

[minor ruin]

No, afaik there is no box cost 🙂 @grizzled furnace

Monthly sub and cosmetic shop. I believe even expacs are planned to be free but I don’t remember

[crystal beacon]

Is the crate system bugged or something? I’ve tried to put things into a crate for my inventory from the warehouse. I hit seal and nothing happens. They just go back to where I originally moved it from. Am I doing something wrong?

[wispy seal]

I'm having a lot of inventory issues and I understand its an alpha and its cool but does anyone have a fix for this?

Can't Right click items in to my bank
Can't Right click to stack glint
Can't Move items around in my inventory

The only "fix" I've come across is mounting and dismounting but it doesn't actually fix it just forces my items to actually do what i tired to do with them essentially making me mount every time i try to move an item in my inventory or combine a glint...

Anyone have any helpful tips to get around this issue?

[shadow kindle]

Relog will fix it for a while but it always comes back. I'm hoping it will be in one of the first couple of patches as it is painful at times.

[wispy seal]

i dont know if its something with my pcv or settings but relog fixe it for me for like one inventory worth of moving stuff around and then it breaks its tough xd

[bronze kelp]

how do I access town commission chest in town clicking does nothing ( after relog )

[open crag]

What skill are the droppings used for?

[crude narwhal]

Is there currently only one fish for apprentice level fishing

[storm tinsel]

i guess farming

[lapis yacht]

Is the afk fishing thing an exploit or is that intended?

[crude narwhal]

How else do you fish

[lapis yacht]

Never played a game that allows you to go afk and get xp

[languid summit]

I bought the game yesterday and played a few hours before realizing the game gave me a headache. I think it's mostly because the font is grainy/roily. Any way to change this? Is there a setting I glossed over?

[lapis yacht]

Also most games with fishing require interaction

They haven’t released any chat font settings yet MrT

[languid summit]

It's not just the chat. All text in tooltips is unfocussed for me. Most screenshots I see are way clearer than mine

[crude narwhal]

You will get auto disconnected after 15 mins if you don’t interact, and it’s 37 exp once you get over level 2 it barely budges your exp bar. As for fishing experience it’s about 1% for every fish caught and every cast doesn’t get a fish. It’s not very exploitive

[lapis yacht]

I appreciate the information but “not very exploitive” is still exploitive I don’t want to be banned for something so little as fishing lol

[crude narwhal]

Sorry, there’s no other way to fish but to sit and wait. You won’t be banned don’t worry

[wispy seal]

its designed to be something you do afk ... setting up a macro or something to keep you from logging out afk would be an exploit i wouldnt suggest doing that

but afk fishing is by design at least in the current iteration of the game

[tulip hollow]

Questions about taxes:

1. what benefits do they give? (do they help the node in some way like 1 tax receipt gives the node 1s or something, do they allow you to use the benefits of the node like extra XP/ crafting speed and when you don't pay you don't get them)
2. how long before you get kicked out for not paying your taxes and do you get a warning of some kind that you are going to be kicked and your items in storage are going to be mailed to you or is that not implemented yet?
3. I think one big question for me is does the node benefits like extra XP and crafting experience take effect if you still need to pay taxes. I have not found any answer to this anywhere 😊
4. if there is anywhere that any of the answers are online please feel free to send me a location and I'll be happy to go read up on it.

5 is there any downside other than getting kicked from the city and loosing your extra storage slot. forgot to ask that one

[crude narwhal]

Just pay your taxes man

[drifting canopy]

are their any racial stat or ability differences in this?

[lapis yacht]

There will be

I’m not sure if they are fully implemented yet

[drifting canopy]

would there likley be a wipe before they are implemented or they will jsut appear at some point?

[crude narwhal]

Something that big being implemented I think they’d def wipe beforehand

[drifting canopy]

cheers 🙂

[ripe phoenix]

when i try to use caravan, it says "item is currently locked" any1 know what to do? tried to relog but safe thing so far

[storm scarab]

@languid summit You are likely describing resolution not matching the screen width/height or window the game is in.

[tulip hollow]

Do you work for the Verra IRS? 😓 (I did pay my taxes. Just trying to find out what I get in return for being a good citizen 😄 )

[flat quiver]

Can someone give recommendations what to do at 22 lvl ?
I have blue forsaken weapons and green rosethron set.
Should I grind till blue steel bloom set or start grind carph/forge for weapons ?

[languid summit]

I've got the right resolution. When I put all graphics on highest values it looks less grainy but my FPS then tank to below 30.

I'm reinstalling NVidia drivers. Hopefully it helps.

[wispy seal]

ive heard there is a big with doing treasure maps can someone explain it to me i dont want to brick my character

[tepid hawk]

Any idea why I can't write to Feedback channel? I get error:

[shadow bluff]

Discord having a slight meltdown, give it an hour or so.

[rigid rose]

got reports from a few others about this.. am passing it on to the CM to review and take a look at. Please hold on to the feedback if possible and try after a time.

[ruby swift]

This is more AFK-oriented fishing, but may incorporate interactive elements in future.[6] The previous design intention was that there would not be AFK fishing.[5] From the wiki. This version of fishing is meant to be "more afk" that what the actual mechanics later will be.

[sterile hamlet]

get treasure map, get excavation kit of same rarity, find mound in quest circle, excavate mound, look in chest, abandon quest, then get loot

[lapis yacht]

It would be a nice way to end one’s adventure for the day. Set up and
Fish for 15 minutes and let the system log you out. Seems like a unique wind down logout feature to me.

[ruby swift]

Except that afking anywhere except inside your freehold house or player housing is a bad idea. Especially is someone decides your fish is worth going corrupt for them.

[bronze mango]

when do the servers close?

[ruby swift]

They have not announced a time yet when they plan to take them down. Just that the teams came back from vacation and wanted to see things still while the servers were up. When they are done with what they want to see, they will let everyone know. #alpha-two-news message

[storm scarab]

There is more to 'resolution' than XXXX/YYYY aspect ratio and OS compressing image to fit within a window can cause loss of graphical data which is very obvious in the display of text.

That is not to say your issue could be something completely different of course. Just would not be certain to exclude image size in this matter. Try to play in windowed mode in a smaller resolution than native. If that fixes the issue it indicates image size issues. If it does not fix the issue my suggestion is wrong and something else is troubling your image quality.

[peak maple]

When is rogue coming out?

[silk dragon]

if you buy a alpha 2 wave 2 key will you be able to get access to the waves after or will it end on may 1 when wave 3 comes?

[short kestrel]

You will have access to all future waves and one month free game play when the game is release. Pretty sure it says all this when you buy the key. FYI servers are only up 5 days a week till May 1

[broken charm]

Kalihunter - just to clarify even further...you will have full access to Alpha, Beta, and 1 month free upon official release. 100% content going forward 🙂

[random walrus]

In theory.. could someone just be a master of their trade and basically do little to no "combat" even in pve? Like, just be a town's carpenter or blacksmith for examples

(Sorry if wrong channel.)

[crystal beacon]

Are crates bugged or something? I've tried moving stuff into the crate from storage but it never seals..... what am I doing wrong lol

[glass lotus]

anyone knows when servers will shut down now?

[crystal beacon]

I would think sometime later today.

[limber zinc]

do we know what days will be up? since i think weekends must likely will be up since almost everyone can play those days so we are left with 3 days of the work days to fill

or are we going to have like a schedule every week?

[short kestrel]

Likely down Mondays and Tuesdays up Wednesday through Sunday. If I had to guess. I don’t know for sure. but tuesdays historically are days when people game less and that is why most companies take servers down tuesdays to update.

[vital hollow]

Where can I receive the coin made from selling on the auction?

[little kiln]

mailbox. nearby the guy that does the buy orders/node storage. you can pick up the mail at any mailbox

you can see if you have unread mail at the top right of your minimap

[vital hollow]

Thank you

[quaint shell]

why am i not able to post in the new channel for feedback?

Your message could not be delivered. This is usually because you don't share a server with the recipient or the recipient is only accepting direct messages from friends.

[little kiln]

its a limitation with discord threads. only 1000 participants at a time.

[peak maple]

I heard rogue is releasing today on thors stream is this true?

[little kiln]

no

[plush hawk]

he got one guyed. So no, no current confirmation on the rogue releasing any time soon. They havent even added it to the PTR yet.

[old notch]

hey guys can anyone help me with this please? so i've been trying to play the game but i literally cannot get above 50 fps while everything is set on medium, is this normal for the alpha two or is this just a me issue?
my specs are 3070ti - AMD ryzen 9 5900x (i also play in 4k tho)

[spiral pine]

your 3070ti isn't exactly a 4k card

especially not in a game that isn't optimized

[old notch]

got it

can i like disable the 4k function on my monitor tho?

im not rly an expert in this :P

[timber lance]

just lower the res to 1440p

[spiral pine]

should be able to change the resolution in the game already

[timber lance]

something like 2160 by 1440 I think

[spiral pine]

2560x1440

[spice pumice]

Are the servers staying up today as well?

[old notch]

but when i change res to 2560x1440 everything's so blurry, is that normal?

[timber lance]

Aye my bad.

[west depot]

use dynamic resolution option ingame instead of changing res

[old notch]

where do i find this option?

i don't see it in video settings

[west depot]

video settings has a drop down for it near the top

it’s where the dlss options are

[old notch]

ah VSR you mean
