I

I've had a few attacks, luckily, I had someone there to help. I'm still solo, still searching for the right guild.

[teal void]

They should honestly copy silkroad online because it's really not worth running a caravan.
Remove crowbars, force people to flag from town to hunt caravans.

[ivory hearth]

Where can I find and join the federation?

[gusty current]

im debating hard about joining the alpha is finding decent guilds to play with difficult?

[upbeat elk]

I'm not in a guild, but I don't think so. Follow the links I posted above.

[ivory hearth]

I just get redirected here

[upbeat elk]

I believe you need to click one of the language buttons

[ivory hearth]

I did

[west meteor]

You can go to #read-me-first and select language roles to unlock the rest of the server. There’s other discussion channels you can use once you get your language role.

Just click English once

[ivory hearth]

I did

"Done reading click here" on every channel

[west meteor]

Do you get a confirmation message when you click the language role ?

[ivory hearth]

Yes

Check my roles lol

[west meteor]

You have it nice

[ivory hearth]

OK now it's only alpha 2 channels it redirects me here

[west meteor]

You gotta do step 3 in #read-me-first for that one - that one is normal to take a while to connect and update

[ivory hearth]

Oh thank you we goochy now

[granite fable]

are our characters getting wiped for phase 3? or beta? I heard there was a wipe between phase 1-2 which I wasnt here for but wanted to know if there will be another one?

[sterile hamlet]

Phase 3 no. Current plans afaik are to spin up new servers for phase 3, and keep the existing. As for beta, probably but I can't say for certain.

[upbeat elk]

I believe the beta servers will be fresh start only. Current Alpha servers will be turned into PTR servers.

[obsidian python]

The factor required for this to be true is open world pvp.

Is any part of the map kos?

[whole beacon]

There are lawless zones

[proper spruce]

are the realms down?

[upbeat elk]

Yes, servers are up 5 days a week. Thursdays at 10 AM PT to Mondays at 10 PM PT.

[proper spruce]

oh, alright good to know thank you

[sterile hamlet]

That's why I said current plans. Their current plan is not to wipe

[winter parrot]

How do starting stats work? How to move from str sword to dexerity bow?

[whole beacon]

Stat are distributed automatically, you can get additional stats from your equipment

[obsidian python]

Do they cover entire regions? Like a city is safe but the zone is not?

[whole beacon]

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Lawless_zones

[ivory hearth]

when does phase 2 end ?

if I buy phase 2 do I also get to play in phase 3 for free?

[little kiln]

Buying an alpha key will give you access from the start of that key till one month after full game release some 2-5+ years from now

[ivory hearth]

wtf thats awesome

[whole beacon]

Phase 2 ends the end of April, If you buy now you will have access to all phases (3, betas) and 1 month of game time when released

[ivory hearth]

are there any times where the severs will be down for exp a week or month?

[whole beacon]

For the current phase there are two days of downtime (tues,wed), 5 days of testing. Phase 3 servers are available 24/7

[ivory hearth]

ok so today and tomorrow will be down. I am down ima give this one a shot

[arctic sky]

Please please please know this is a buggy test. Most of the intended systems are not in currently. There may be more downtime than stated if something goes very wrong

[ivory hearth]

I ACTUALLY LOVE BUGS LOL reminds me of the old days of consol gaming or when I used to print out gta cheat codes lol

or like when you go under the map in sky rim

[obsidian python]

so the desert is lawless that is what I was talking about. The risk reward for trade would be much higher there.

Are the towns safe zones with guards? Like Mortals online 2 or something?

[whole beacon]

This is a PVX game, there are towns with guards, but any player can flag up for PVP and start PKing

[little kiln]

And there are ways around that

[silver bobcat]

@idle siren Hello.
Can you tell us when the game might be releasing? I know you don't want to say what day or month because things can change but like... What year.
Like 2026...? 2027...? 2030?

[ivory hearth]

do i install all of this?

by default it only has one selected

[west meteor]

The only estimation is that A2 P3 will last "at least a year"

...and we'll see how accurate that is. sadly intrepid doesn't have the best guesses when it comes to how long things take

[west meteor]

yeah youll get errors if you dont

[ivory hearth]

doesnt let me select directx12

[silver bobcat]

Sorry, what does "A2 p3" mean?

[sterile hamlet]

Alpha 2 phase 3. It's currently alpha 2 phase 2. Phase 3 is set to be in May I believe

[silver bobcat]

Is there something after an alpha 3?

[west meteor]

tbf there are ways to install those things after the fact if it does give you an error - so not that big a deal

[west meteor]

There is no alpha 3, just alpha 2 which is divided into 3 phases - talked about here https://ashesofcreation.com/news/alpha-two-roadmap-and-ama

After Alpha 2 Phase 3 is Beta 1 and after B1 is Beta 2. After Beta 2 is launch.

Phase 3's goal is to last about a year in length and start this May. However, some features they wanted to have ready for the current phase (phase 2) have been delayed to phase 3 already which points to a longer time than they previously guessed.

You can take all these guesses and come up with a guess for when launch will be, but its pointless to be thinking that far ahead when so much work is left to be done

[silver bobcat]

Is beta going to have phases?

[west meteor]

I dont think so - they will be faster paced than the alphas. Alpha is all about bringing new features online and seeing if they work and potentially doing full reworks of game design. Beta is when the game is mostly finished but needs lots of polishing and bug fixing to be ready to launch

[silver bobcat]

When did alpha phase 1 start?

[west meteor]

alpha 2 phase 1 started august 2024

october* my bad

[silver bobcat]

and when did alpha 1 start?

[west meteor]

july 2021 - the game was using unreal engine 4 back then and the world they spun up for alpha 1 wasn't anything that will be used for launch. it was solely to test some basic features and then they took that feedback and cooked up for years until a2 just started recently

[silver bobcat]

alpha 1 lasted 3 years...and alpha 2 lasts 1.5 years...if betas each last 6 months that means...
Summer 2027 minimum.

[west meteor]

actually alpha 1 only lasted 1 month lol - they took the feedback and went back to the drawing board with a lot of their stuff

its hard to judge pace off the past too - the studio was only like 60-80 employees back in A1 and now they are 250+

with more tools developed and more pipelines established

[silver bobcat]

I don't mean the game play, I mean how long did it take before alpha 2 started.

[west meteor]

id say summer 2027 is a good guess tbh - but guesses kinda get away from the purupose of this channel which is questions and solid answers

[silver bobcat]

Minimum. that's a best case scenario.

[arctic sky]

We aren't supposed to speculate in questions

[timid beacon]

Is there a way to download current game data? I had to reinstall my windows tonight

[shadow bluff]

Character etc is server held so it will be still there when you reinstall

[spice basin]

you guys think bard is RIP?

[ionic gale]

Doubt it. They might nerf the solo play, but Bard is still going to be strong in group content anyway.

[spice basin]

i don't care about group pvp i want solo

[sterile hamlet]

Ultimately it remains to be seen, but probably rip solo bard

[spice basin]

bro i just hit lvl 21

[shadow bluff]

Game is balanced on group combat ,not individual.

[spice basin]

@sterile hamlet man i'm just going ot roll cleric

broken af in solo

@shadow bluff

[sterile hamlet]

They are getting a slight nerf too. Not bard level tho

[spice basin]

yeah seriously

can't believe they nuked us that bad

at least i get this weekend off and i get to reoll

reroll*

[sterile hamlet]

They needed it. Support class shouldn't be the best dps

[ionic gale]

Bard uses... LAZER BEAM
(Verra turns to ashes)

[timid beacon]

where are the patch notes?

[spice basin]

not even close to being "best dps" it was a slow build up to sustain dps

but they also nuked mage too. i sthere a way to change your name?

i want to change my name to my new main

[ionic gale]

The PTR should have the updates 😊

[spice basin]

i don't want to delete the bard but if i can't change my name then i'm going to

[ionic gale]

Yeah, you can't change name.
And if you want the name you have already it will go on a 30 day suspension when you delete the character

[timid beacon]

Where would I locate those?

[spice basin]

wait you sure about that? i've deleted my mage that was lvl 5 and remade my name

literally the same day

[ionic gale]

Did not let me do that for "Curls"
I have to wait still

Gonna start making alts every day until this is resolved, Thanks 😔

[spice basin]

So i'm literally just fucked

either get stuck on a trash char or don't have my name

[ruby swift]

Characters will ultimately be wiped anyways. You are not keeping "your name" after testing. And depending on where you sit in the name reservation queue once it is implemented for live, you may not even get it then if it is popular. Or if you even have it in your package.

@spice basin Your A2 tags are not showing. You might want to go to #read-me-first and get them.

[spice basin]

right but when is part 3? it's still like months away

[ruby swift]

May 1st

And there is no wipe planned for testing till just before live launch. But many things happen here that are not planned. If they run into a snag during testing that requires a wipe, you getting a wipe.

[pure knoll]

worked fine for me

delete and remake with same name within 5 mins

[ionic gale]

Dang, someone in my guild probably trolling me then 😔

[little kiln]

You could be misremembering the name change restrictions from the discord server instead

[gaunt prism]

Is there a link to this somewhere or just going off what they’ve said in the live streams?

[ruby swift]

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Server_wipes

[pure knoll]

to be honest I think it would benefit from a wipe for p3

[ionic gale]

I think nodes should be wiped so players can experience the node leveling system with the commission board

[little kiln]

They will be

[frigid vigil]

Is it possible to highlight group members when they are top of the threat list ?

[whole beacon]

First of, i don't think there is a way to determine if a player is on top of the threat list. There is a raid frame, you can select individual party member, but not a group as far as I know

[pale python]

Anyone know why my raid frames are all green while everyone else’s has colors??

[whole beacon]

I think there's a setting under interface

options -> interface

[gritty osprey]

@shadow bluff

[shadow bluff]

hi

uno momento

[final dock]

I'm told there are node specific chanels/chats/pages, not just server specific but I can't find them. How do I find/join a channel/chat for New Aela, Lyneth?

[worn wagon]

We don't have node specific chat channels here

[crystal beacon]

is the price of acces going to be cheaper when beta comes?
Or it will be 100$ until the release?

[whole beacon]

That is probably on the Lyneth discord, which is separate from this. Ask on the lyneth channel they will give u the link

[west meteor]

Probably since beta will be for a lot shorter period of time but we won’t know for sure until we get closer - and that’s a solid year and a half away at the most optimistic guess

[little kiln]

End price will be a 15$ a month sub tho

[celest pond]

@idle siren for current node elections, do Alt votes count ? how to deal with that ?

[violet stag]

any citizen vote counts 😉 alts included

[surreal valve]

they do, it's an acknowledged issue, they intend to patch it...soon TM

[violet stag]

for the game an alt doesnt exist, the game just considers a character as an entity, so the fact that 1 player has multiple characters matters not for the mechanics in the game

[surreal valve]

apparently the design intent is to have one vote per account, and this is the only way to address that part of the issue, your zerg vote rights are safe then

[violet stag]

i don think zerg is any portion of it, more people means more alts too so its irrelevant, but from my understanding, at least on Lyneth the guilds and mayors are pretty settled and there are no plans to change it over

[obsidian python]

you can make a new character instead of killing the player count who just leveled the past month

[little kiln]

he means the nodes. the villages should be wiped. not the characters.

And the nodes definitely will be wiped at some point when they get ready for node seige release

[manic sphinx]

When do servers go back up 🙂

[little kiln]

26 and a half hours ish

[idle flower]

Are there any plans that anyone knows of to add a "created by" tag to items made by players? As well as a list of the parts that were helped in making it as well. It may get excessive in some situations but would give crafters some joy in seeing what they've made with their signature.

[ivory hearth]

No the Severs are down like even the download Severs

[proper haven]

oh i see

[upbeat elk]

You can download the launcher now, but the launcher will update when the servers are up.

[ivory hearth]

It let's you download the "launcher" and log in but that's it

[proper haven]

i cant even log in

idk why

[upbeat elk]

what error do you get?

[ivory hearth]

I ment let's me type my log in info

[native drift]

"Inability to read notices and schedules" I think is the error they're getting.

#alpha-two-news message

[upbeat elk]

Are you talking about logging into the site?

[ivory hearth]

I'm at work right now , I can't give specific details

[proper haven]

first of all i knew even before i purchased that the servers are down tuesday and wednesday but how could i know that the download servers are down too this is the first time im encountering something like this

[ivory hearth]

I was able to create an account and buy the game and download the launcher but that's it

[proper haven]

even if i cant play the game i thought id be able to download it

[upbeat elk]

That's all that is available right now.

[upbeat elk]

If you downloaded now, you'd have to re-download again tomorrow anyway.

[ivory hearth]

I actually thought the same thing

I hope they put on the buy alpha screen , Severs are down on Tuesday wendsday no download .

[proper haven]

i see

[ivory hearth]

I am not an upset customer, I'm just sharing information 🙂 lol

[idle flower]

Rad, can't believe i missed this on the wiki after looking it over but thanks man

[spiral pine]

Not implemented yet fyi

[idle flower]

Yeah I'm aware haha, I just hope it shows each creator. So even for processing the metal, and making the molds/bars

[short flint]

Good Feeback - I would recommend making a post on this in the forums. It would be neat to also see the estimated times of server uptimes and downtimes (similar to what they have postedin the #alpha-two-news channel). If you make that post, link it and i'll upvote it 🙂

[fresh storm]

Before servers went down, I was running fine.

I decided to download the PTR and get ready for siege. My internet shuts off and I am currently rebooting my router and modem.

This same thing happen to my computer upstairs and I am STILL unable to get it to download the launcher before shutting internet off.

Anyone have any idea why it’s doing that?

[crystal beacon]

what realm is best to join, or are they pretty much the same, people wise

[upbeat elk]

Too many connections? You can change the amount using the settings cog in the upper right of the launcher.

[upbeat elk]

Pretty same-ish.

You can always check out the individual server channels and see if you vibe with one over the other

[mystic mantle]

Is mend on cleric going to be able to cast from mouse over on frames in this patch? Also when in raid frames, and a party member get a debuff is it not always on frames. Also seems like a lot of debuffs don’t even show up like bleeds only in raid frames. Party frames you can see everything. But I’m a healer and would like the raid frames to be addressed.

[timber storm]

Don´t know if the info is any where but i was wondering if we have any infos about summoner releas ( just joint a week ago and .... i many play summoners in games )

[desert ivy]

Sometime early phase 3 (so May or a bit later)

If Rogue is anything to go by probably June/July/August time

[hollow robin]

any one now how to fix this

[arctic sky]

Post on the forums that's where they want feedback

[hollow robin]

[spiral pine]

Yes

[hollow robin]

[spiral pine]

You download it when the servers come up

in 21 hrs

[hollow robin]

ok thans for your help

[sterile hamlet]

It should allow you to a little bit before too

[valid schooner]

I haven’t seen any info or I haven’t looked hard enough, but have they announced when augments will be added?

[sharp merlin]

I just watched an interview posted 5 days ago and they mentioned Alpha 3.

what time do the servers open up tonight? I just got Alpha 2, excited to be a tester with you guys

[valid schooner]

Great, thank you!

[upbeat elk]

Alpha Two realms are scheduled to be online for 5+ days a week from Thursdays at 10 AM PT to Mondays at 10 PM PT

[tranquil gate]

@tight gale any chance we can get a thread or something setup with like a long slowmode and allow people to submit questions for the stream? Ik twitch chat is spammed A LOT. Could even give us the option to 👍🏻 good questions that would be worth knowing.

[tight gale]

We pull questions from Twitch, Discord, and Social. 😉

(Not just Twitch.)

[vagrant bramble]

Twitch chat spam will just be "when rogue?" Even if they answer it

[gusty current]

i think im going to buy the game. whats a good east coast pvp server that has competive guild vs guild?.

[upbeat elk]

Both US servers are in the same location. I think Vyra is slightly more populous, but that could be untrue. Both very similar.

[valid schooner]

It’s only alpha so there are two US servers. Vyra has higher pop and more pvp

[gusty current]

is vyra the server with that pirates guild?

[tough marsh]

that would be in Lyneth 🙂

[summer lynx]

That's Lyneth. There are two US servers, both of which are Central. Vyra is the ostensibly more hardcore server, but it's also hilariously poorly managed with all the towns being screwed up, and filled with exploiters and extremely toxic. Lyneth has the big Pirates zerg but it's rapidly disintegrating since Thor welched out on the game, and now the biggest guild is Feds and their alliance-that-isn't-an-alliance(It's an alliance, but only the Feds benefit) until they too eventually implode

tl;dr: Lyneth is the correct server to join if you want to enjoy the alpha and be able to test things

[gusty current]

thank you for the advice. downloading now

[narrow arch]

What exactly does 4 stacks of this do? 4x the bonus damage? Or does 1 of the stack get used per spell cast that triggers the bonus damage?

[ruby jacinth]

What do you mean Thor welched out on the game?

[summer lynx]

Near total absentee, dude's been completely gone

[ruby jacinth]

Dang, figured he'd be back more since hes not playing classic.

[pale python]

Don’t think I figured it out. I’ll check again when I’m home

[spice basin]

is it true if i delete my bard bc you guys killed it, i can't have my name on my new char?

same name on my new cleric?

[worthy nacelle]

When does Rogue come out?

[spice basin]

when does paladin come out?

[sterile hamlet]

phase 3 when we get secondary archetypes

[spice basin]

LFG

that's the class i want or something more like cleric/mage hybrid

[sterile hamlet]

i dont think thats true. i had someone take my name for a bit cuz i coulnt log on when servers went up for phase 2, and he was able to delete the char and i could grab the name

[spice basin]

eah and i deleted my mage a while back and made a new bard with my name

but someone said there's a 30day lockout

[sterile hamlet]

tbc paladin is a combinate of two archetypes

[tranquil ferry]

When are the cs teams going to revert all exploit enchanted level 20 gear back to +0 from the node war scrolls that were gained?

[rocky canopy]

@idle siren all lvl20 enchanted gears are 1000% from exploits right? why havent those been deleted, and why arent the players punished for having those items/using them? - thanks

I was literally deleted, and restored (after found innocent), not the mention the amount of hate, harassment, public humiliation, and backlast I have received after falsely accused of exploiting/ fraudulent trades, yet there are people out there with fraudulent enchanted gear, and 0 actions are taken against them. It's almost unbelievable tbh. Hopefully something is done to those people.

[tranquil ferry]

This issue is causing players with this gear to have an unfair advantage over the entire ecosystem of gameplay loop currently attainable. The only punishment is reverting the gear back to +0 enchant. These people probably bought the scroll legitly or traded between players to avoid detection or deletion. Punishment is moot. Just a revert on the gear enchant level and this is solved.

We were shown Phase one all gear of a certain rarity can be deleted from a server just by a tag, where is this same action from P1 for lvl 20 gear thats more than +0

People have had all their gold deleted for selling items once or twice to dupers, your point is invalid

[rocky canopy]

buying is the same as trading lmfao

[tranquil ferry]

It's already what happened.

[rocky canopy]

well I got punished for trading with someone who used fradulent gold, whatsyour point?

[tranquil ferry]

The gear shouldn't be in the ecosystem AT ALL. Nor the scrolls in the first place

[rocky canopy]

a roll back would be good but it wont happen so they need to wipe the item regardless.

dont buy items that are unattainable in the game

[pine gyro]

I was an innocent player last phase who had all legendary mat's I personally collected and was 100% legit deleted. I was fine with it because it balanced things.

[rocky canopy]

if someone sells me a boss item the first day of wipe, i should keep it because Im innocent? no. i shouldnt of bought that weapon, and it should be deleted. im surprised you need someone to explain this to you.

[hushed rover]

I'm not saying the items should be gone. But I think suggesting that it only gets deleted is a bad way to go about it lol. Rather I think you should've said that if they were obtained trought a transaction that said transaction is rolled back

[rocky canopy]

there are better ways? sure. but the delete is BETTER than what it currently is.

[rocky canopy]

it wont happen. by your logic all the fraudulent gold trades should rollback and return the items to the seller. why havent they done it?

[tranquil ferry]

The point is, Phase 1, ALL legendary items. Legit or not got deleted. I'm suggesting a better solution than straight up deletion. Revert back to 0 enchanted level, and delete the enchanting scrolls if any left exist.

[pine gyro]

Players who gave gold so their guild/friends could have a freehold are going to get screwed out of that gold. The freehold owners will get something apparently, but what are the players who donated for that purchase going to get? Will those transactions get rolled back?

Actual help question: How does one fix their server profile discord name? It won't let me update 😦 Apparently changing name outside of the server resets the 4 week cooldown?

[gusty current]

I was checking out bard. they remind if the bards on daoc a lot. are they normally the group leads in pvp? dont know enough about the game to try that lol

[west meteor]

You can dm a moderator to ask them to help you

[dense pike]

unsure but when i was using it, it didnt look like it was working, i certainly wasnt seeing another ability go off or extra damage being added, same with aftershock, that doesnt seem to work either, or at elast theres no visual indicators

[tranquil gate]

--- LIVE STREAM QUESTION ---

Will there be changes to how caravans work in terms of attacker and defender, currently everyone has to drop group to flag. Also being able to kill the driver just makes killing caravans easier as you can gatekeep it till your team arrives to kill it faster.

Either should put it on the forums or wait for the day of livestream to post it. Cause it is not sticking around to be seen for the next two days.

[tranquil gate]

hey she said they pull from here ok, dont bully me. But prob a good idea 🤣

[ruby swift]

And they do, pull from Discord. Just on the day.

[tranquil gate]

ima be honest ima be playing the game and forget to ask 🤣

[ruby swift]

That is why forums are good. They are persistent.

[tranquil ferry]

A work around instead of dropping group is switching lead to the next person who needs to grab flag. Leader of the group can choose flag but it doesn't waterfall to the rest of the group

Save a bit of time with right clicking and selecting promote to lead than typing the whole name list

[tranquil gate]

yeah massively still annoying tho. Caravan system needs a lot of changes either way. (IMO*)

[heady orbit]

chat innocent question please don't kick me.

I just bought this Alpha cause it looks fun and I want to support. Tried logging it, but nothing.

That's because I have to wait for Discord announcement-- saying that the servers will be open for the next X amount of days. Is this right? Thanks!

[soft trench]

Yeah it opens tmrw at 1 pm est / 10 am pst

[tranquil ferry]

[heady orbit]

Thank you all! Does the developer send email remainders when it’s my timezone? Or how do you keep track?

[violet egret]

any update patch?

[round belfry]

Best to connect your intrepid account to discord. Then will have access to #alpha-two-news and other channels.

[heady orbit]

Thank you kings, queens, and in-betweens

[placid linden]

Hello there, I have a question. Is there any way to pre-download the game before the Realms are put "up"?

[little kiln]

You technically can up to an hour ish? Before main goes live.

Otherwise no

[fair mural]

New to the alpha and had a question. Are there any types of boats in the game yet? I saw gameplay of caravans, but wasn’t sure if you could use that to sail around just to explore.

[little kiln]

You can turn a caravan into the most basic of rafts to traverse water yes

[fair mural]

Aye, thank you.

[ruby plinth]

Question: is lvl 20 crafting possible already?
Ancient Dunzen Bow

10 Glittering Metal Strand (i have 2 so i know its in game)
Braidwood Plank (JM Lumber is already in Lyneth)
Recipe - this on the other hand i have not seen yet. so have they removed this from current phase?

has anybody tried crafting anything lvl 20?

[placid linden]

Thanks Aurianna

[prime basalt]

Greetings, will Servers are close from Alpha 2 to 3 or will it stay permanently open?

Wave 3 is 24/7

[dawn tulip]

Im not sure where to post this but am having trouble trying to login to the intrepid studio launcher

help plz

havnt been in the discord long enough to post in bugs and issues

[frigid vigil]

@dawn tulip you will not be able to log into the application until the realms are up. You will need to wait until 8 hours time before this will work

[dawn tulip]

oh ok thought that I could still do initial stuff while serevers were down

just got AoC today

[frigid vigil]

When the realms are down on days like today you wont be able to login using the client or connect and download the game. You can only do that when the realms are up. Check https://discordapp.com/channels/256164085366915072/1299155635220512788 for information on server and realm uptime and downtime

[rotund gate]

.

[summer lynx]

That's because you didn't link your account

[dawn tulip]

how do i do that?

[summer lynx]

https://ashesofcreation.com/

Go to the main website, log in, top right click the dropdown, Account Connections

It might take a little bit for it to register, if you don't see the role pop up on your account after a few hours ping a mod for some help

[dawn tulip]

Cool it works now, thanks!

[summer lynx]

Also play on Lyneth

[dawn tulip]

?

[summer lynx]

In-game servers

Unless you're EU

If you're on US servers, just go with Lyneth unless you have friends on Vyra. Way better server organization, nodes are actually planned out and built well, people are generally chill

[dawn tulip]

ok cool. I have no bias towards either or them other than US is relatively closer geographically

[low vortex]

Can anyone tell me how big the dl is? Might chuck it on before i head to work tomorrow morning. Just bought it so itll be a fresh dl

[hearty summit]

What time will the servers be back on today?

Ignore that just seen the post by @frigid vigil! thanks man!

[noble moat]

is archetypes ingame now or not released yet?

[spiral pine]

We are missing Rogue and Summoner

[noble moat]

ohh i mean can i put cleric and fighter togher now and get a templar?

[round belfry]

secondary archetypes isn't in yet

[crystal beacon]

U

Is it worth paying for what it is this far and are people active?

[surreal valve]

all extended classes are probably years away at this pace

[round belfry]

As of what wave 3 has mentions some secondary archetypes (but not yet all)

[surreal valve]

that is a very subjective, I strongly advise to do you research about the game, the current state of content, performance, available game systems etc etc. Players are active, but I would expect for people to drop off as the phase 2 progresses. The sandbox doesnt have that much sand to play with, and stuff like quest lines are defo not worth it if you are into the story line aspects.

[crystal beacon]

Nah im more of a pvper i skip through the whole story anyways

But i love thw art style showncase in the videos and it def looks cool the idea behind it that its a slower pace game allowing for more tactics rather than mindless button mashing like nowadays wow

[surreal valve]

pvp content is there, if you are fine with the level of grind required to get there. If you want to speed that up, I would try to get into a larger, currently on the top guild, to speed up the gearing process, and to find it easier to group up with people, who are making alts etc. Hmm pvp isnt slow pace, especially with the current power scaling. Time to kill is really low if you are geared.

[crystal beacon]

Not what i meant when i said slow pace when it comes to killing

More about gcds and stuff like that

[surreal valve]

if you dont mind dropping the money on it now, I doubt you will regret it, as you are getting access to alpha and beta etc. A good time to get into it if you are the fence, might be the patch when they drop the rogue archetype, or start of Phase3, so you see whatever Intrepid is delivering on their roadplan.

its just my perspective, so I would talk to more people.

[subtle sleet]

are the server downtime the same in eu as the us? just bought the game and now see that the server are down until 10 am pt

[wary oxide]

#alpha-two-news displays the downtime in your local time.

[fierce flame]

it doesnt let me download the game i need to login to the server to start downloading it so i sould wait for the servers to open?

[tacit river]

You can download the launcher but you need to wait for servers to come up to get the game through it

[fierce flame]

yep

so its 5 hours plus another hour for the download

[gusty yarrow]

How big is the download?

[crystal beacon]

about 350

[gusty yarrow]

Cute

[frigid vigil]

Ill start downloading when I am back at home

[alpine depot]

What time is the game coming up today?

[frigid vigil]

Have a look in https://discordapp.com/channels/256164085366915072/1299155635220512788 it will show the time in your local zone

[alpine depot]

Hey thank you

[granite sinew]

Hey, bit of a silly question here that has likely been answered hundreds of times. From my understanding is you have to pay the 100 to 120$ fee to join the beta / alpha, just so I'm fully aware all subsequent alphas and betas will be free, right? I'm just paying for an earlier access date with the price differences? I also assume it comes with the game as it offers a month of playtime with the bundle(s).

[crystal beacon]

yes. At launch it will be sub only no base cost. So an alpha 2 key now, gives you access to all alpha testing, and beta testing until launch (TBD) and the 1 month of sub/

[granite sinew]

Awesome, I feel like it's very clear in stating that I just wanted to be double sure because of the cost haha

[toxic sinew]

server up today？when

[worn wagon]

#alpha-two-news message

[toxic sinew]

I've seen it, ty!

[tacit river]

This is what AI was built for, it should pick up these keywords and auto link the news

[west meteor]

Ok zoomer

[granite sinew]

Does anyone know if there is some sort of dual wielding class on Ashes? I was looking at them on the wiki sort of hard to pinpoint which one might be able to

[tacit river]

I wish, my knees would still work

[tough marsh]

Dual wielding not yet in the game i think @granite sinew

[granite sinew]

Ah, okay tyvm

[tough marsh]

It will come though 🙂

[leaden sapphire]

Friendly reminder if any new folks are starting this week; feel free to reach out if you need any help~

[west meteor]

All archetypes can use any weapon - so once they add dual wielding weapon skill trees they can be used by anyone

[granite sinew]

That's very neat, do you think it'll be like something that works better for martial classes though like maybe fighter, ranger, rogue?

[west meteor]

Hard to tell - would you expect a healer to prioritize using a bow as their main weapon? Because that’s how current balance works out lol

[granite sinew]

I actually wouldn't expect that at all hahaha

[west meteor]

The fact that anyone can use any weapon leads to fun choices like that - so without seeing how strong the weapons are we just won’t know

[toxic sinew]

should i check visual C++ and microsoft edge before i download the launcher guys?

[west meteor]

Yes

[toxic sinew]

I just ignored it 😦

[summer lynx]

100 gb required to be available, actual DL is somewhere around 60-70gb

[west meteor]

Once you start the client you may get errors that will tell you one of those items are missing or invalid, there’s ways to download them should that happen to you

[toxic sinew]

why it says unable to authenticate to intrepid cloud services, i was trying to login

[tough marsh]

Cause server are down right now. Thell be up in about 3 hours

[toxic sinew]

i cant download the game in advance?

[gusty yarrow]

Nope

[west meteor]

Nope - they turn servers off until they push the patch that will be used for the weeks testing

You can in a few hours

[frozen rover]

@idle siren @tight gale @grave harbor What's being done about people who have had their accounts wrongfully banned and no evidence given as to why?

As an example

[tight gale]

If you feel you have been wrongfully banned, you can submit an appeal through CS tickets, and we'll do additional investigation.

If the ban is upheld, it is because we have enough evidence to uphold the ban.

[frozen rover]

Thats the response from the appeal above

[neon stirrup]

Why a siege done 3 years ago had siege equipment but yesterday ones not? Serious question

[neon stirrup]

Exploiting, if u mean exactly what exploit u did not sure they want to reveal that XD

[west meteor]

Because the siege equipment they want to use now isn’t ready yet - simple as

They said it will be soon. They wanted to have a barebones test first to make sure basic parts of siege help up at scale

[frozen rover]

Well then how do people learn what not to do especially in this case where the person has no idea what they did wrong and no actual evidence is provided. Just $120 dollars stolen from them

[neon stirrup]

Well if u exploited 6 different ways they rather not tell u exactly which one caused the ban so u don't go and say Oh look I get caught because of this so I'm going to do the other 5 exploits XD

[spiral pine]

I suggest reading the TOS

[little kiln]

well. that sounds like an actual account Ban for exploiting. i thought they only gave out the perma bans for player harassment and racism ect. Impressive either way and my desire to know more intensifies.

[frozen rover]

To be clear i haven't exploited anything. This happened to a friend of mine. No issue with exploiters being caught and punished. The issue here is that the person has absolutely no idea what they did. No actual evidence of exploits has been provided and the companies attitude of "because i said so" is appalling. This is something someone paid alot of money for at the end of the day and the fact that it can just be taken away wrongfully with no way to appeal or evidence provided to confirm to the victim is horrendous.

I love this game so far but how can i recommend it to people if this sort of stuff can happen?

@idle siren @tight gale

[neon stirrup]

Yeah sure a perma bann for exploiting but: "I DoN't kNow WhaT I dId", barely anyone got perma for exploiting but your innocent friend did XD probably did more than 1 exploite and several times

[neon stirrup]

Then don't recommend it, this type of pysco war is pathetic and usually coming from actual offenders

[wraith breach]

Sorry if this has been asked, but iam anew player curious when the servers come back online

[west meteor]

You already got a response bro chill - it’s over

[little kiln]

when it comes to such things, the company isnt going to reveal everything. and that goes for every company. not just intrepid.

[west meteor]

#alpha-two-news has all the updates you need for patches and uptime questions

[little kiln]

2 hours ish you can download patch, 2 and 20 you can log in. ish

[frozen rover]

Ok buddy. Hope it doesn't happen to you too

[little kiln]

dont forget to do #read-me-first so you can read what lemons linked you

[west meteor]

If it happens to me then I deserve it just like your friend lol

[neon stirrup]

What u mean by they want to use? The video from 3 years ago has tebuchets and a lot of sht

[frozen rover]

@idle siren @tight gale What's being done about people who have had their accounts wrongfully banned and no evidence given as to why?
As an example the below is the appeal response.

If you were arrested and tried for a crime would you accept "because we said so" as a valid excuse with no evidence presented to prove it?

[crystal beacon]

STop spamming this here. This is not the place.

[frozen rover]

Reposting the question to cut out the unrelated community comments

[little kiln]

well technically it is the place till they get booped by CM or a mod

[west meteor]

A1 was UE4. Not everything was ported over to UE5

A1 was also extremely barebones. Almost no systems from A1 exist in a2 currently because A1 was focused on testing different things.

A2 has lots of different systems implemented which can cause difficulty with bringing other systems online - like siege vehicles

[spiral pine]

You got your answer appeal again or move on

[crystal beacon]

They got their answer in the actual appeal and again right above from Margaret.

[little kiln]

yes. im just a smart ass

[neon stirrup]

Pretty sure Margaret literally answered you

[neon stirrup]

So they kinda lost a lot of their already working assets?

[eternal lily]

is anyone in game?

[little kiln]

devs maybe

servers closed for 2 hour 10

[eternal lily]

thanks, the error msg makes no sense

[west meteor]

The assets no - the functionality yes

Though I’m also just making educated guesses truthfully - but I’ve been following dev for a long time and have seen this with other features people were saying “why isn’t this in yet??”

[frozen rover]

No she said submit an appeal. An appeal was submitted to try and figure out what caused the ban so the erson who feels they did nothing wrong could know what they did and they just got a "because we said so" response with no further explanation

[little kiln]

do #read-me-first so you can get access to the alpha channels like #alpha-two-news

[spiral pine]

You do not submit an appeal to figure out what you did wrong still

[neon stirrup]

So you got an answer that you just didn't like, and now you hope that by spamming that you'll get a different one?

[eternal lily]

@little kiln thanks ill look into it later

[little kiln]

the channel i linked is the news channel which will give you discord posted patch notes, server status, and the like

[crystal beacon]

Again, this isnt the place. YOu have been directed to the correct path.

an account BAN is not a smol thing. They dont just ban accts. for OOPSIES.

Tell your "friend" to either go through the correct channels, or accept their punishment.

[frozen rover]

Dude if you honestly thought you did nothing wrong, got your entire $120 account BANNED your telling me you would just accept it?

[frozen rover]

He's tried that and got that response. If we don't drag this sort of shit in to the light it will never be properly dealt with

[west meteor]

You just don’t want to come to terms with the fact that it has been properly dealt with

[crystal beacon]

This is not the place. You were already told what to do. This channel is for player questions and player helping players.

Deal with it correctly.

[tacit river]

You aren't exposing some great truth, you are just rattling against the bars of a prison with no guard and annoying others.

[frozen rover]

If you say so buddy. Sadly it's only by annoying people that anything seems to ever be done

[neon stirrup]

Again, almost no one got a PERMA for exploiting just either character resets or alpha 2 ban. But your innocent friend got literally perma, that means he exploited a lot and for a lot of time XD

[tacit river]

Also they are still a business at the end of the day, they aren't going to be discussing one players account with anyone but that player.

[neon stirrup]

Furthermore tell your friend to write it out

Or is it you who got banned for exploiting lmao

[frozen rover]

No it was a friend, Luckily he's in the position where he just bought another account. The reason it bothers me so much is if it's an error on Intrepids side then it could happen to anyone and not all of us are in a position to be able to just fork out for another key. If its a fault on the players side then i hope it is actually explained what they did so they can understand and..... if it's a massive con by my friend then more fool me but i really don't think that's the case.

I'll go away now.

[west meteor]

We need a #ban-appeals lol

[frozen rover]

100%

[little kiln]

would be great to watch

[tacit river]

is sidestepping a perma ban an offence?

Genuine question

[little kiln]

usually ban or otherwise staff moderation evading will net you more bans yes. but i dont know if intrepid will do the same.

[tacit river]

I don't want to bother the mods but at the same time I would like a confirmation on that :p

[tight gale]

As stated previously to you (https://discordapp.com/channels/256164085366915072/257283936756039680/1334546577179807745), if the ban is upheld after an appeal, it is because we have enough evidence to uphold the ban.

We do not share specifics because we do not want folks to game the system.

[frozen rover]

That's a terrible judicial system

[tacit river]

Your friend has another account you said... sounds like you arguing here is more likely to do them harm than help at this point. Maybe drop it and just enjoy playing with them in a few hours?

[frozen rover]

Surely you would fix the exploit after discovering it so it can no longer be done?

[tawdry lintel]

misread the sentence ! true!

[frozen rover]

please read the whole setnece lol

[frozen rover]

It's just super lazy, shoot from the hip, catching innocents in the crossfire type of stuff. Pretty sure now it was caused because my friend bought some duped gear that he was unaware of. If so that's really unlucky

[tight gale]

Yes, we are fixing bugs and exploits are at the top of that list, but when folks encounter them, they are to report them and move on.

Not exploit the bug for their own personal gain.

[shy moon]

I understand not wanting to give specifics about exploits but it does feel bad when they people can’t figure out what they did because there isn’t a lot of information about what an exploit is and isn’t. For example camping tree spawns for legendary willow is that an exploit or is it designed that way. I’d like a bit more info on the grey areas :/

[crystal shoal]

they're worried they may repeatedly exploit without realizing, but if an exploit that can be repeated on accident exists, it's likely not going to be around for long, i would think, since too many ppl would do it and it would be discovered quickly

[tacit river]

I think your friend could have possibly lied to you then. Buying duped gear without knowledge isn't bannable and isn't exploiting. Sounds like they have evidence that they knew it was duped OR the friend did something to exploit themself and they aren't giving the full story.

[frozen rover]

Ok if that's what happened please let them know after removing the exploit so they at least no why and it clears up any confusion 🙂

[little kiln]

unless it was for the raft glitching through the world border glitch which many people cant even see the border displayed on their screen but even then they wouldn't Perma ban for that, then you have to be a very very special person to "accidentally" exploit hard enough to catch a perma ban. and didnt you say that you and them had no idea what they could have done by the way?

[frozen rover]

See grapplrs youtube video

[shy moon]

Right, but that’s part of the issue. We ask about it and aren’t told if it is or not. It very well could be even though we “think” it isn’t.

[frozen rover]

I just don't understand their reasoning. People "exploited" the Guild War system on verya and didn't get their entire accounts banned when they were making 1000's of gold from it but my friend hypothetically gets maybe 50 gold from a perma lootable chest and gets his entire account banned?! It's just crazy

[tight gale]

Reminder, this is a QUESTIONS channel. Please move discussion to other channels and keep this free for questions.

@frozen rover feel free to DM me and we can discuss this further if you want. ❤️

[frozen rover]

Thank you

[floral heath]

1000's of gold yeah right

[little kiln]

i just want to point out that guys story has changed from

• no idea
• Maybe buying duped gear
• I/he shouldnt be banned for Looting an infinitely respawning bugged chest.

Hey everyone, i just purchased and installed the launcher yesterday. But i cannot get the game to launch sadly. When i try to login i receive "Unable to authenticate to Intrepid Cloud Services. Please try again after a few moments." online theories i've attempted are 1) disable IPv6, make sure edge is updated, reboot computer, and even give the launcher freedom through windows firewall. Does anyone have a solution for this?

[west meteor]

Yeah the solution is easy

Wait for the servers to come online lol

[vale thistle]

[lofty fossil]

it's been happening since yesterday? have the servers been down since like 20ish hours ago?

[little kiln]

they are down from monday 11pm MST to today 11AM MST. (hour and a half from now

ah. thank you haha. i saw that they are only up 5 days a week. i am an idiot and assumed that meant weekends.

because no one plays video games on weekends T_T

Just pitching in here: That email string of the dude asking why he was banned and getting nothing in return is a super bad look. I'm not saying I want to play with cheaters but if he was doing something as allowed by the game then thats kinda on intrepid to fix, not ban clever players. I'd want my money back if it was me.

[proper river]

You play against the rules, gotta live with the consequences. You do shit irl, you end up in jail, can't blame that "but it was doable to do, so i should be allowed to do it"

[tacit river]

If somebody does something, realises it is broke and keeps doing it instead of flagging it and leaving it. I would want them gone. Yes its on intrepid to fix it, and its on you to police your own actions unless you want consequences.

Thursday = 1
Friday = 2
Saturday = 3
Sunday = 4

It's 106 hours up and 60 hours down

So like 4 and a half up and 2 and a half down

[torpid apex]

5 days = 120 hours. Servers are only open 108 hours.

[west meteor]

They must mean 5 days instead of 120 hours then

[pliant kindle]

5 calendar days?

[tidal pier]

.-. It's open during 5 days but not for 5 days. Semantic difference

Why would they say 108 hours when they can just say 5 days lol

A 7 day week is 168 hours the servers are generally up for 108 hours and down for 60. 108 is not 5 days lmao it's 4 and a half

[west meteor]

Sorry you feel that way

[tidal pier]

? Must be a fed with that response

[north spear]

if i buy the wave 2 does this mean i can play till wave 3?

[tidal pier]

Yeah it's all access

[west meteor]

Honestly I am

I get MLK day off - do YOU???

[tidal pier]

Please we all know the feds mentally check out all the time unless it's to cause problems

Not just on mlk day

Now, peanut gallery, are we talking about the government or the guild? 😉 you decide

[worn pagoda]

Still no download

[tidal pier]

where can we check if the servers are back up?

Every other week they gave us a DL about an hour early

I see

[upper panther]

They were just having a slow morning, no biggie 😕 let them grab there coffee ☕ and cook!

[ocean wagon]

Quit being pedantic, Friday morning, Saturday morning, Sunday morning, Monday morning, and Tuesday morning, sounds like 5 days to me, and sounds like we actually get 6 when it's up on time.

[crystal beacon]

OMg are we really arguing about using the word days ?

[vagrant bramble]

we could go back to arguing if its a game

[crystal beacon]

This question is for question.

go ask https://discord.com/channels/256164085366915072/1299155791609069659 about this.

[worn wagon]

@serene monolith This is not a discussion channel. Severs will come up when the team is ready The uptime schedule for the 2nd phase of A2 has been shared here: https://ashesofcreation.com/news/-alpha-two-phase-ii-testing-schedule

A day consists of 24 hours, what you're thinking of sounds like daytime. If you wanna discuss definitions of what a "day" is, please move to a discussion channels

[jovial elbow]

ok guys don't break your brain over this, tis a minor thing...:P

[sharp merlin]

When do servers open up?

excited to test

[spice basin]

can someone @ me when the servers are up, i'm trying toget stuff done during lunch

[serene sedge]

I also wondered when they are opening…?

[sharp merlin]

anyone new like me that wanna get some stuff done? havnt made a character yet

same

check the alpha-two-news, they will probably announce when servers are live there

[cunning inlet]

It’s supposed to be in about an hour

[sharp merlin]

ohhh delayed

sounds good

@ me if anyone else knew that want to team up

[hasty sonnet]

As most have already said, they have pushed it back about an hour today. It should be live in about an hour but there is room for error. Your best bet, instead of asking that question would be to either scroll up to previous discussions or check the channel for it.

[sharp merlin]

asking in here worked just fine, thanks

[pseudo mural]

Hat server you starting on?

What*

[sharp merlin]

what server you recommend?

[past lagoon]

EU theres only 1

[pseudo mural]

Vyra is most popular and lyneth is the pirate software server pretty much

[pseudo mural]

It depends really

[sharp merlin]

what are most new players on?

[pseudo mural]

Vyra

[sharp merlin]

yeah im down

[ancient sail]

People here feel the need to POWER TRIP, and it makes you feel stupid for asking a question. I see it happen all the time. These must be miserable people to act like that.

[sharp merlin]

that tab says #questions so i asked a question xD

[pure hedge]

Hi all, i just bought the game to play it, are the servers down?

[pseudo mural]

Bet when servers up I’m down to game bro

[sharp merlin]

sick lets get it!!

[flint dagger]

yes for 1 hour

[pure hedge]

Thank you very much

[tacit river]

when you click https://discord.com/channels/256164085366915072/1299155635220512788 it shows times in your local timezone so it should always be relevant

[sharp merlin]

if you play vyra lets rip, i also own a Type R bro!

[pure hedge]

It's on bricks now in a heated garage 🙂

[sharp merlin]

just swapped a new trans on mine, been a nightmare lol

[pure hedge]

Awesome car, not many cars left we can drive as all automatic "YUK" lol

[foggy ocean]

I just upgraded my expeditionary to voyager, about how long does that take to apply?

[tawdry goblet]

how to fix the authentication error when loging in for the first time? i just got the game a few min ago

[flint dagger]

servers are down till 40 minutes

[neon stirrup]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAh-S2Kbj6w Is this BS or what? Because it even seems steven said this would be coming the 30th

[strange meteor]

Yeah I just got the game myself and excited to start playing but I'll be on NA speaking of, is there a good NA server to start on or one to just avoid?

[tawdry goblet]

Cool i thought i was missing something

[shadow pagoda]

Is Alpha two is down rn?

[flint dagger]

yes

[strange yew]

It’s BS until it’s in game. Recent PTR build had some Guild improvements (rank permissions, last online, etc)

[tawdry goblet]

38min to go i believe

[summer lynx]

Don't worry, it will be delayed again

[neon stirrup]

I know but the weird thing is that there's a clip of steven saying it would be coming the 30th XD

[strange yew]

But we don’t know if those will go in today (as Steven had hoped) or not until it happens.

[inner juniper]

Is there a source where we can see like a timer or something of server down time or something? besides discord maybe like a website or something?

[strange yew]

Like with most mmo developers, take dates with a grain of salt. Shit happens and things get delayed

[tawdry goblet]

@summer lynxsheeeesh

[neon stirrup]

That I know, but I feel it's weird no more info was released prior to today

[summer lynx]

No, #alpha-two-news

[strange yew]

I was on PTR last night and saw that there had been some enhancements to guild stuff there, at least. But they don’t show us everything, and sometimes what we see doesn’t make it in.

[tranquil ferry]

^

[neon stirrup]

I know u can't say much about PTR, but enchancements as guild passive skills or the administration of the guild?

[strange yew]

And Steven has been wrong about dates tons of times

I can say lots of things, I just can’t share images

What I saw was guild rank, editable rank titles, and permissions. There was also a guild vendor that had a guild commodity to transport and an item that could be purchased with glint to earn guild xp

But I didn’t see any UI indicating how much guild xp I had, nor what the perks were for earning it. Nor did I have the time to run a caravan or the glint to purchase the item.

[crystal beacon]

are there guild recruitment websites? i don't know anyone that is playing this game.

[teal void]

#na-oce-guild-recruitment #eu-guild-recruitment

[crystal beacon]

i have no access

[pseudo mural]

Yeah there’s multiple guilds with discords setup

But try and find one that isn’t hardcore fyi

[west meteor]

You can go to #read-me-first and select language roles to unlock the rest of the server. There’s other discussion channels you can use once you get your language role.

[crystal beacon]

i'm not looking for a hardcore guild.

[crystal beacon]

thank you

i probably should've read me first

[west meteor]

That’s easily the #1 problem answered in this channel so don’t beat yourself up lmao

[worn pagoda]

updating

[west meteor]

I have a macro to respond with what I sent

[gusty yarrow]

What’s wrong with hardcore guild

[pseudo mural]

Most of them you haft to play at least 15-25 hours a week and at that point it becomes a second job and your guild leader is your boss lol

[crystal beacon]

i also think "hardcore" puts too much emphasis on production rather than enjoyment

[flint dagger]

Login server up to down load updates

[tawdry goblet]

authentication error fixed, game is downloading and now i just gotta wait for the servers to be up. im so excited lol

[pseudo mural]

Noice

[crystal beacon]

If you are new, and do not have access to the other Alpha 2 channels, you should link your discord account to your ashes account to get the Alpha 2 discord role.

Then you can chat in the general chat and other channels.>

[rigid isle]

this update is sooooo slow to install

[obtuse quiver]

very big update

[flint dagger]

Reminds me of when i used my Commador 64

[strange yew]

Have you played with the patcher settings to try to speed it up? (click the gear)

[tawdry goblet]

75%

[strange yew]

You can tweak up the parallel patching operations if it's set low. If you set it too high, it might overuse your PC resources.

[rigid isle]

does that affect the Download speed or the actual install/patch speed. I downloaded really fast but the update to the files is slow

[strange yew]

My understanding is it's the install/patch speed. But someone else might know better.

[limber iris]

nvme are faster

[rigid isle]

my drive is NVME

[limber iris]

Yeah, mine too. Glad we aren't using platter drives.

[stray pendant]

HDD's ahhhh f that

[rigid isle]

back in the day when I had a 56k modem a guild mate burned a cd and mailed me a patch because it was faster.

[flint dagger]

lol the good ole days

[shadow pagoda]

I just installed a client and getting code 23, same for everyone?

[hard breach]

Yes

Server is down at the momen

Expected to be up in 5-10 mins

[teal perch]

Does anyone know how to stop or limit these gpu crashes? I have a 3090, I’m crashing like every 2-10 minutes. Only game that does it so I assume it’s not the gpu

[prisma dock]

any other fighters having this issue? I am missing 2 skills points... says im 16/18 when I havent spent anything. looks like both forms are still taking our skill points away

[teal perch]

I’m only level 7 but the top two abilities on the right of your menu may be what’s costing you those extra two

Or the passive and single target ability underneath those may be what’s counting for that

[short junco]

I just downloaded the game, but every time I launch, it crashes. Anyone know what is causing it?

[teal perch]

Do you have a 30 series gpu?

[limber goblet]

game crashes during launch with new update. Anyone know why?

[west meteor]

Could be a new error - could try to repair client or reinstall and see if that helps

[limber goblet]

i've tried both

[west meteor]

If it’s a new error then post in #alpha-two-bugs-issues-old

Devs check that channel and can provide updates should they have any

More likely to get an update if multiple complaints happen

[neon stirrup]

What's obisdian used for see a lot now so I guess is not highly valuable

[teal perch]

I have tried everything, I’ve ran it on all graphical settings, tried setting my gpus fans to manual… the only thing that appears to make some difference is turning off a setting call super resolution I believe. I haven’t played in a few weeks because it crashes so frequently for me.. forums and Reddit haven’t been helpful either as it appears to be an unfixable problem based off of the lack of feedback I’ve received.

A great feature AOC offers is its refund policy. So if it is unplayable and it’s within 90 days of purchase regardless of playtime you will get a full refund if you attempt to refund

[summer zenith]

What is fortissimo for bard….

[teal perch]

I have my purchase marked on my calendar in case it’s still crashing consistently in a month from now to the point like it is currently where it’s impossible to play the game. It’s a true Alpha so this is to be expected

is it just me or is the whirlwind way worse xd

[neon stirrup]

I think the uptime is way lower becausw they probably messed up something with the frame thing. Now I’ve to say for pvp I’d prefer a whirlwind with this duration but old dmg

Like i feel it wastes like 0.2 seconds at the start

[toxic widget]

Quick question for me guys.

Does anyone know why Easy Anti-Cheat Service isn't downloading for me?

[daring sand]

There is no way this is intentional

I had a caravan fly past me

Literally not possible to catch up

[upbeat elk]

Are you sure it's not downloading (versus not installing?)
Navigate to C:\Program Files\IntrepiStudios\AshesOfCreation\PROD\EasyAntiCheat (or wherever you have the game installed), double-click on Install.bat, and see if that lets you install EAC manually.

It's called the Launcher. What problems are you having?

[timid crystal]

MY launcher is not updating get to aroound 5% and stopes...... ive tried re installing launcher ect ect.

[upbeat elk]

The installation takes a while. You can try clicking the cog in the top right and try clearing the cache or adjusting the download speeds.

[timid crystal]

@upbeat elk soirry bad english its early here,

@upbeat elk ive had the updater going for over 2 hours now, its gotten to 70% and i have gained 2 % in the last 20 min.

my download speed on the right will freeze and at that point it will stop updating.

download speed is set and fine, i can update a game on steam no problem.

[slender yarrow]

I have the same problem

[upbeat elk]

Installation problems? Can you post a picture of the launcher and where it's freezing? Also how much free space in total do you have and are you installing to a HDD or SSD?

[ruby swift]

DO NOT install to a HDD.

If I am crafting something - do i need to wear the apprentice clothes the entire time the item is being made, or do i only need to equip them when i go to collect the recipe?

[daring sand]

This is quite critical - can we please get confirmation that caravan speeds are intentional?

People are very confused right now, afraid of running them in fear of getting deleted

[tulip oar]

So the caravan speeds are fine as far as we have tested. The super increase in speed is only in nodes that have a trade bureau (which is now giving the proper caravan speed buff)

Once you move out of the node with a bureau and into a node without, the speeds drop drastically

Will mention that the trade bureau speed buff is working, but the reduce in commodities cost is still not ... As far as we can tell.

Try an incognito window and make sure it's the right discord account.

[timid crystal]

any ideas?

[round scroll]

If someone destroys your caravan, can you resuse it when you get back to town, or do you have to make a new one?

[north zealot]

anyone else getting barely any frames and lagging like crazy or is that js me

[hasty pulsar]

Can our map have an option to cloud undiscovered areas?

[hasty pulsar]

Gotta make a new one.

[ruby swift]

When looking at the reasoning behind why some of those old systems existed, a lot of it was centralized around the idea of risk versus reward. I mean, let's take a look at the three that you name, XP debt, minimal fast travel, and open world raiding. Experience debt is a cost of failure. Experience debt is the bite of not achieving success. If I die to a monster because my strategy was bad, because my performance was bad, because my planning was bad: all of that means that debt is the cost I pay for the bad choice... Minimal fast travel: My location matters; and the time it travels there is the cost I pay. Open world raiding: I'm not the only person interested in completing this objective. I have competition. That competition represents pressure. That pressure represents a desire to succeed and perform. All of those are touch points on player emotional connectivity. There is a reason why I want to succeed: Part of that reason can be incentivization through reward; part of that reason can be distance; it can be incentivization through failure. So that I think are one of the core fundamental philosophies as to how you design some of the more old-school systems.[58] – Steven Sharif

Do we know when the servers will be back up?

[sleek sapphire]

they are up now. Check alpha news for status : ) #alpha-two-news message

[steep canopy]

wont let me log on??

[whole beacon]

you need to provide more information than that, what error? screenshot

[steep canopy]

NVm all good.

[eager sky]

anyone else haveing lag issues on lyneth?

[silk elk]

How if ever would someone reach out to investigate vanished storage? they insist that its being investigated but with characters being unplayable its unlikely for them to message just as you play. This seems like a flaw as now i just am not playing and want to know how if ever i will play or if i should wait to wipe as it doesnt seem like this problem is being commented on besides write a bug of which i will submit 500 reports but i dont think thats what they want me to do.

[jade aspen]

any chance there's a way we can hide the mirage effect in the desert? making me feel ill

[sleek sapphire]

They want you to be patient, since they are aware of it. You are not alone, there are many many people with similar issues. Continuing to report the same thing over and over, isnt going to help.

[pseudo mural]

Do I do anything with granite or basalt or should I just sell them after mining

[silk elk]

Waited 7 years to play played Apoc and that was such a tease to wait for this. I have been Patient could you answer my question instead of telling me what they want from me?

[sleek sapphire]

!cs

^try Customer Support ticket?

[silk elk]

so why pray tell dont you say that instead of "they want you to be patient" "one doesn't speak unless one knows" answer the question

[sleek sapphire]

I sell mine but you can refine it and craft things as well.

[pseudo mural]

Thank you

[sleek sapphire]

I assumed you already did since I saw you have been here for so long

[pseudo mural]

Why get so offended boohoo you had to wait

[crisp halo]

its hard to bug test and report such things if they continue to ghost buff and nerf things . there are changes to the bard that are not in the notes. things i would have otherwise reported

[silk elk]

glad to know the edge lord are here

[pseudo mural]

Does it sell for more if you refine it first?

[sleek sapphire]

ahhhh Im not sure, I think so? some things do? some dont? also refining costs money. so its a ROI thing

[pseudo mural]

Thank you I’ll check it out 🙏

[silk elk]

@digital sonnet What is more info about the issue what it comes to storage maybe post questions you would like answered??????? this is why it doesnt even seem like someone is looking into it

[toxic moss]

Was Health regen on mobs changed dramatically?

didnt see anything in the patch notes

[crisp halo]

this is what im talking about . changed being made. i dont know if to report or not . any changes to the game right now need to be listed . all of them

[digital sonnet]

Some bugs are harder for us to track down than others. We're working on it.

Posted just a little bit ago here: #alpha-two-news message

[silk elk]

Yes. clap clap you made a post. but what info do they need wait someone would have to be investigating to tell you so it doesnt seem like they are or you simply dont know what they need which is a interface issue

[steady mason]

has anyone went to their bank and found that their material bank has been wiped for a node or 2 because joeva and miraleth have both been reset to the point that i hade to select between general storage and specalty storage. i also lost everything i hade in both

[silk elk]

wow thats just what we are talking about all our hard work disappearing

[arctic sky]

It's an alpha... And send the bug report like they ask . The more people that do the more likely they will find the common cause with what's sent

[silk elk]

hmm you just pointed why we need what info they are looking at thank you for supporting what i am saying

[arctic sky]

The info is sent with /bug

[silk elk]

otherwise they will have abunch of random data without correlation

yes but what info you give them is based off what you know they need

[arctic sky]

You fill out what steps you did to have it created in the text part

[silk elk]

you simply go to the bank and its gone

so what info are they looking for

[arctic sky]

Which bank? What is missing? Just give them a huge info dump if you can

[silk elk]

thats not what they are asking for so what do they need I have been asking

everyones info dump will be different at the end of the day

[arctic sky]

It's what you would be doing with all you bug reports

[wraith venture]

ashes of boot loop. gg

[silk elk]

if they could tell us what they are looking for it cuts down on how much random crap we type to them

[arctic sky]

You seem to think they know exactly what causes the bugs and can ask for it

Hell it could be that you walked across a specific sw

Give them all the info and they will figure out what they can

[silk elk]

you are insane leaving this now

[sleek sapphire]

Just putting in the bug report, thus giving them specific info on toons, towns, position, character, ect ect, other info we dont even know.....

Be specific? I opened my bags, it was gone, Or,, I just logged in and it was gone, or, it disappeared after I was doing X. Are all your storages gone? only one town? Only one bag? Total wipe? Is it the main bag? Or one you bought? or one you just bought?

They also get a ton of info directly from your bug report that isnt even typed by you.

You asked for a response, a CM responded, they made a post about it, and you are still behaving rudely.

Its just a game? Chill out.

[azure nimbus]

im stuck in a looping loading screen

[arctic sky]

Close the client

[azure nimbus]

have couple of times and full restart

[arctic sky]

Is it on all characters?

Sometimes logging into a different one and moving around before logging off fixes it

[azure nimbus]

will try just only had 1

[arctic sky]

Should send a cs ticket in anyway since that is close to the black screen mess

[azure nimbus]

got in on another will retry

[sleek sapphire]

change servers, make a new toon, sit in the char creation window for a bit even.

[pseudo mural]

Can I not just cook and eat fish I haft to add a whole bunch of ingredients first?

[azure nimbus]

yah did that got onto other server fine or same one fine another but my main still looping

[wraith venture]

missing storage is one thing (top two slots of my halcyon storage were wiped on Thursday -made a ticket) but now im stuck in a loading loop as I try to enter the world. Game is completely unplayable. Should I make another ticket? The first one hasn't been replied to yet.

[pseudo mural]

Where do I get lettuce and Aelan Spice?

[pseudo mural]

Uninstall Reinstall

[sleek sapphire]

you grow lettuce and make spice

[pseudo mural]

Did you try?

Ohhh boy I have no idea how to farm on this game

There’s really not to many tutorials yet

You haft to discover everything kinda cool but frustrating

[olive hearth]

so im getting the black screen while loading bug, do i just close the game and itll log what was happening or do i need to wait for it to crash out completely?

[ashen osprey]

my 2 characters in winstead are also on infinite loaading screens but my character in miraleth can log in fine

Think the infinite loading screens are related to the winstead WS

[olive hearth]

my character is in Halcyon tho, i dont think itd be the server worker specifically

[wraith venture]

confirm, was at winstead when fatal timeout occured. Made a second toon that worked fine.

[sour pasture]

Is wand passive bugged? u cant seem to save the passive after upgrading it

[wraith venture]

reinstalling just in case, will report back in 5629626970 hours

[olive hearth]

all skill trees are bugged rn, they know about it and are currently trying to fix it

[spice basin]

any possibility that winstead node is going to recover today/

[ruby swift]

The first day after a large change patch is always rough. Give them a day to stabilize and it should get better for many. Or maybe it won't. That is the beauty of testing.

[sour pasture]

before this ur melee nad range trigger like snare and etc proc each other.. now when im using wand it doesnt proc my GS finisher, is it because of this bugged of was it a bugged before and they fix it?

[low vigil]

does anyone know how to fix this issue

[normal knot]

is there a way to reduce screen shake from auto attacks?
(or just attacks in general on melee)

[ruby swift]

Hit no and move on. Make sure you upload your crashes to them. There should be options in menu to check for that.

[low vigil]

game doesnt start even if i press no

its not playable anymore

[sour pasture]

why not try click yes and check how to fix it?

[low vigil]

thats what it gives lol

this aint epic games

[upbeat elk]

Epic makes the engine which is what is having the issue.

[low vigil]

i see , i even tried to download unreal engine and see if anything would make this game start... its not , ive tried everything even updating the pc and nothing works

[upbeat elk]

Yeah, that page won't help. It's telling you to force dx11 mode, but ashes is dx12 only. Your crash may be a different issue.

[nova cargo]

Hello, my caravan is stuck into the ground and I cannot get into it anymore, is there anyway to unstuck it?

[whole beacon]

Its a hardware issue unfotunately

[low vigil]

was working fine for me last update now this one its not

[wraith venture]

Reinstall did not fix my issue. Infinite load loop sadness. Oh well.

[upbeat elk]

They're actively looking at fixing it

[wraith venture]

I'm confident that things will be worked out.

[long ocean]

@nova cargo you can try logging out for 15 mins and turning it into crates

[verbal slate]

Wondering if anyone can help me out my game seems pretty blurry and regardless of what resolutioin i set it to it doesnt change i can set it to 768 all the way to 1440 and there is no change in resolution for better or worse

[obsidian charm]

I think there is a render resolution somewhere in the graphics settings. Might have to play with that and see if it makes it less blury. Not sure if it requires a restart.

[upbeat elk]

You can try adjusting the DLSS settings, but it's going to be blurry until they start the optimization process which won't be for a while.

[twilit orchid]

i was having same issue, updated geforce drivers and now its working. hopefully this helps

[verbal slate]

appreciate it. just seemed odd that nothing changes regardless of what resolution i set it to thought maybe it was something on my end.

[frank pewter]

Anyone else run into the following system message?

Im Win 11 and just patched the game. This has never popped up before on my desktop and my laptop.

[proven escarp]

any update on them fixing the skill tree issue?

[wraith venture]

This solution worked for me! thanks a ton <3

[digital sonnet]

We're aware of the issue, and working towards a fix.

Once the fix is ready, we'll roll out an update. There's no specific ETA to share right now. Team needs a few hours until this is ready.

[nova cargo]

@long ocean thanks it worked !

[unborn void]

anyone know if there are plans for weapons skill trees to have skills in the future or will they just be passive only?

[dark jungle]

jusst passives

[thick star]

have they released any info about how you gain experience to level your guild?

[neon breach]

Is there a way to mouse over target for heals?

[rigid laurel]

Dose excavation kit and treasure map have to be on the same rarely to excavate?

[sleek sapphire]

Yes for cleric, its a setting. Just not mend

[celest cedar]

is it worth the 100 to try out the game in its current state?

[neon breach]

Do you know where to find the setting? Thanks in advance!

[little storm]

Anyone dealing with repeated freezes/crashes tonight?

[little storm]

Probably.

[manic finch]

I think its under Targeting. I use it with the Raid window. You can also enable Defensive target so you can fight whilst maintaining heals on the tank as defaut.,

[tropic rose]

is there a way to make it when u switch weapons to not swap to your secoundary?

[slender sand]

Any way to move the Q to the action bar? I don't want to keybind it I want "auto attack" to be 1 on the action bar. Razr naga user

[valid condor]

What do you mean? You can only swap between melee and ranged.

[noble oyster]

Good thing we got the update so we can see where our caravan disappeared.

[valid condor]

It's waiting for you when they unlock new content 👌

[desert ivy]

That's in the Badlands area. Gonna be waiting like another year till that area gets added

[round estuary]

If I like to play aggressive, what class works right now to start with?

[remote mural]

I have a ticket in for a refund, how long does it usually take for a response?

[summer lynx]

As long as it does

[remote mural]

Ok thanks 👍

[median condor]

Fairly silly question but, what does pst stand for? See it a lot in global.
