Will they wipe the servers when phase 3 comes?
I believe it has been stated that there will most likely not be any wipe for phase 3, but new servers
When does phase 3 start?
May @quartz coral
The plan was. That alpha 2 servers. Will become the PTR servers. And phase 3 servers. Transition to the live servers at launch
awesome thanks š
one more Question : is shield fixed so when io change from main to offhand and back to main hand my shield is gone
They don't care @foggy tinsel, the entire game atm is PTR.
That is a visual bug, but I don't know if it's fixed or not as I don't use a shield.
just got on it is still not fixed š
So I have been able to use the dlss option the whole time while playing the game up until today. Checked all my system info and am good. Happening to anyone else?
What is the difference between the two US realms? Im a new Player jut downloaded the alpha
whats the point of this if we cant pull water from it???
There any sort of statistic in the past or present that shows which classes and races are played the most? That'd be neat to look at.
Rescuing little Jimmy from the well quest. Not implemented yet.
<@&542059693779058748> is there a way to get back items I've lost because my game crashed and i died and my loot despawned before I could make it back to it?
@summer lynx I'm not talking about out-competing for mobs. I'm talking about a group 20+ yards away from where the group is pathing through with what they are pulling and specifically going out of the way at a sprint to kill the group so they get the XP.
So report it with proof via

I just completed Safe, Fast, secure and didnt get the armor set. Is this a known bug? Is the quest repeatable?
Fly
What days is alpha 2 currently playable? Thanks
If I'm remembering correctly its typically Thursday through Monday with Tuesday and Wednesday being downtime.
So I've been running ranger with ranger weapons and haven't been noticing much benefits to the Archetype in comparison to those I've encountered running cleric with ranger weapons. Is there anything I'm missing to the archetype that makes it beneficial? I do believe the camouflage ability would be useful for ambushes, but it doesn't seem to do anything for NPC combatants.
Just harvested 25/25 lumber for Stakes in the Ground commission, when i try press complete, it says complete quest to get reward, but it's ticked complete in my log, any ideas?
I'd guess it's bugged. I had a similar issue with grubfiddles note quest, I'd advise a bug report. Most likely a bug, but if its not it's a UI complication that could use looking into.
flame elemental not despawning intentional or a bug?
Cleric chains of restraint has me confused. It says it is supposed to be put on Target location? The ring goes up behind me??
Has there been any update on restoring the materials tabs of those who have lost their whole bank?
Are you in action mode or the one with the mouse? It's much easier if your in the mode with the mouse.
Are there answers as to why the highway hills are full of fire elementals?
Who thought it was a good idea to put 3 day expirations on all items you put up for sale in the Marketplace?
All that is going to do is move sales back into global with people spamming global to sell stuff. Itās already happening. No one is going to waste money on putting items up for sale just for them to expire so quickly. Two weeks (14 GAME days NOT calendar days since there are two days/week of down time) is a reasonable expiration time. Three calendar days is utterly ridiculous.
can i make ablities like judgement which can cast on ally and enemy only target an ally with a button?
As of now, no. You can with the bard heal/damage ability, the bard has an option to split their ability into two ability buttons... But the cleric does not have this
Unless I've been blind this whole time that is
where would i see that?
Skill tree and perhaps your skill book which is a tab at the top of your skill tree
Here is the bard example
The two skills at the bottom of the tree are one single skill, split into two
Here is the skillbook tab at the top of the skill tree window
oh wow i dont think cleric has that
Yeah unfortunately I've done quite a bit of looking in my cleric for it :/ I hope they add it tbh
ty for the help tho!
Why wont my launcher open the game ? It opens, goes to a black screen. Then fails. Is server down atm ?
Use the repair option on your launcher
You're supposed to turn it in at the box next to the mayoral commission board, but it's very much a work in progress and some work some don't. It used to be you just hit complete when standing next to the box. They added a UI interface with the last patch but it only works for some of the commissions.
there was an interface/way to interact during phase 1, but it was just as buggy as it is now. they are probably working on that
hello everyone i just got Ashes i was wondering is there a reason the game requires the download to be on a SSD and also does anyone know if this will always be the case or if they have plans to make it compatible with HDD
The SSD requirement is gonna stay
Thank you for the info
I believe you can use the F1 - F8 keys to target party members and then cast judgement
yeah the f1 keys cycle through your party
Cleric targeting needs work
some people also use the defensive targeting option so they can have an enemy and ally targeted but that may need to be off for what you want
That + hover casting with raid frames is the optional set up
yeah i heard some people do prefer the raid frames. i dont have a cleric character or anything yet to really know whats what
It's 2025, get an SSD
I have an ssd but thatās not my question my question is there a reason it requires that
Loading times and the fact it requires it
any idea what this is for? keeps dropping
has anyone tried going like legendary apprentice pickaxe? is it worth it ?
newb question lol how do you fish?
go up to the water, put the spell on ur action bar and cast it
to get the spell -> K -> Skill book -> Fishing section
Thank you!
If a party member opens a map, are we able to see the dirt mound and help them look for it? Or is it all on them to find it?
Looks like a quest item. Quest may or may not work properly.
(may not is likely)
Have they said when staves will be added?
Has anyone been having issues with logging in from the character screen since last patch? I just get a black screen for a while and it will typically not work the first few times
A friend is having issues getting the launcher to load, it appears as a blank screen. we've tried a bunch of things including running as admin, uninstalling and re-installing, updating drivers and still no luck. anyone have any recommendations?
phase 3
Whats the max lv difference to get a drop from a mob?
So has anyone noticed that all Treasure Maps are now Desert Treasure Maps
7 or 10 from memory. But generally, the greater the difference the lesser rewards.
gotcha, its just a lot of gear i wanted i outlevel now lol
ty
i assume 10 for 3star, 7 for no star?
test
did gathering rarity drops get nerfed in the last patch?
I don't believe star quality of the enemies factor in. But certainly worthy of a test to see if that's the case.
hey everyone,
just wondering if this is the channel where I ask about issues?
I have a i7-10700KF // 32gb ram // 3060TI
and everyone time I try to enter lionhold my screen goes black and I get a "Connection to the realm timed out" error message pop up and take me back to the login screen.
The game runs fine prior to this, I can run around and kill goblins without issue / use abilities etc.
Any recommendations on things to try that have worked for you?
Well first. Lionhell is Lionhell. Avoid like plague. First actual point, do you have the game and/or launcher on an SSD or m.2 drive? Second, have you ran as far as humanly possible from Lionhold and not experienced these time out problems?
Thirdly, are you at all aware if your internet has a tendency to 'hiccup' or is it always consistent?
Is there any way to tell / see which is the largest server now in terms of population?
Thanks for the reply!:
- I have it installed on my HDD, I will try and install on my M2
- Yeah I can basically go everywhere but near lionhold
- Internet always consistent and the DC happens at the exact same time every time; right on loading lionhold. I shouldāve mentioned that I get to the lionhold load in screen before it black screens and DCs.
A lot of the more PC knowledgeable in here have said in the past that HDD just don't have the reading speed necessary, so ideally, that's your only issue. Cause I know for myself that I have the game on my HDD and I'd disconnect anytime I went near Lionhell too.
Great feedback thanks mate,
Iāll try and reinstall on my M2 and hopefully that works!
Fair warning, you should be able to just move the whole files, the launcher will prompt you for a new location/path and you can just change it to where you've moved it and the launcher will figure it out.
Good luck!
Guys whats the respawn tiem of Flowers or ore?
Does anyone know where the named mob "Misbegotten" spawns?
Good day, how do I get my chat settings to save?
Besides oppacity, whenever i try to configure my settings (such as toggling specific elements to get filtered, such as loot in the guild tab), it doesn't seem to save
Talking about these
I believe this didn't work for me at the start of phase 1 as well, is this a known bug?
have you tried repairing the game?
yer i did
Iāve trained 4 wolfs trying to get a mount and every single time I get a wolf beast of burden why is that?
When crafting (say armor) do all the things you put in have to be the same quality? all blue green ect.
no
it avergaes them out kinda, so they dont have to be
Thanks
Is there a way to remove decals in the character creator?
ye you'll have to remake
you fucked them up i think, if the 3 +'s are showing you can't remove them
unless you start with the cancel on all 3 and it shows after, i don't think you can remove
i remade and he had tattoo placed already
i selected it and pressed the red remove icon and it just removed it from the slot, not from his body
you should be able to click all 3 and select the red circle thing I think
hmmm, in that case i can't remember, i had it once where it was stuck with tattoos but i remade and could remove them
ah fuck iti
try remaking and see?
remade once, im done remaking haha. thanks tho
probs have to call him Lionheart or something
Update to this post: installing it on my SSD has solved the issue! thankyou for your help
What realm should I roll on? Vyra?
Hey guys i just got the game but on my pc its trash and im looking in general to get a new pc so that i can actually enjoy this game that i am looking forward to in the future however idk much about pcs and shit so can someone recommend me like some stats in dms or w.e and an estimate cost of all together so that i can start somewhere
@digital sonnet is the firebrand hyper regen intentional?
hey pals if buy "Alpha Two Second Wave Bundle" can i play in third wave ? rr do I need to buy 3rd wave too?
Second wave š gives access to third wave, all betas, and 1 month of sub after release.
Ty for answer 
I'm trying to request a refund, it's asking for an Order number. How can I get this order number? it's not there in my mail
log into the website and go to your transaction history
There is no order number in the transaction history
I can play alfa today? Or game off-line?
Server is up
hey hey whens next wipe
So just now finding and looking into this game. Can I play most of it solo or is it heavily based on group/guild content?
you can play it entirely solo too but group is definitely more fun and easier to progress.
Nice been years since I played a PC MMO so I dont tend to have a group to run with and play just a couple hours at a time so Solo works great thanks
When does the game do down?
Right now a lot of questing and other āsoloā or small group things are not in this alpha version. They will come later. Grouping is the most efficient way to level.
The game is being designed to focus on group play overall.
With that said there are lots of players who dork around solo (Iāve done a lot). Itās just slower.
Also keep in mind that this is testing. It is not a finished game.
hi guys, how can i craft item with high roll? is there anyways to increase the roll stat?
its a breakpoint system not random. Get better materials or crafting quality bonuses.
Not my first alpha beta or EA. Thanks for the info tho i was seeing how differnt skills really play off each other with buffing group damage and such.
@wise igloo
If i purchase wave 2 this week i can immediately start playing if its not a maintenance day?
yes
hi there! is rogue already available?
Nope
If someone attacks my caravan, will it be destroyed?
Yes. You can upgrade caravans to make them tougher but, they are definitely killable.
So all the components like BoB and other upgrades are gone?
Yes, through risk comes reward
Risk is a healthy thing. Risk makes us value reward. Without risk we would not pursue certain achievements, because anybody could achieve them. Risk makes us have a sense of thrill, or have some sense of anxiety; and those are all emotional responses that get elicited when risk is present. So, risk isn't a bad thing. We like risk, not just in PvP but in PvE as well: when you can't always predict the environment or encounter you are part of, risk is something like 'Ah, I've never seen this boss do that before.' or these adds came at an ill-placed time, there's a trap here that I didn't experience before. There's a lot of elements that risk introduces that keep gameplay less stale; that keep it more dynamic; that introduce environments where the unexpected can occur. That is a good thing.[2] ā Steven Sharif
The answer to all aspects in the game š Means spending a lot of gold or resources and time for crafting is just affordable for big guilds⦠feels stupid if you canāt recover the caravan itself. Anyway we will see where this will lead to. I will definitively not spent any gold in upgrades with all those friendly people around^^ Thanks mate.
Is there a gathering system in this game? Similar to Albion?
Gathering is one of the artisan classes in Ashes of Creation.
Many of the visible resources (such as Trees and Ore) in the open world are gatherable.
This is a change from Alpha-1 where a limited number of resource locations were highlighted with "sparkles" to indicate they were gatherable.
The exact type of resource present within resource nodes...
very good
Will there be ways to farm the monthly fee?
You can have referrals
As Aryielle said, if you refer enough people or a single whale you can, but there's not any way you can pay for the sub with in-game gold like in WoW or OSRS for example
oh
sad ;/
Hei I did buy the key how to test out the game?
There should be a button in the top right of the website that says "Get Launcher" or something if you bought the $110 Second Wave key
Do both options have access to beta 2 and beta 1?
Yes, the wave 3 keys start in May. Wave 2 is now.
Direct link (if you have the purchase): https://ashesofcreation.com/download
it says join the alpha
Which bundle did ya buy?
Alpha Two Third Wave Bundle
bundle
Third wave starts on May 1st, 2025. To access the Alpha right now, you'll need the "Second Wave" bundle. You should see a $10 upgrade option for that in the shop 
damn it
I saw 2025 and did buy it
ok thanks
will upgrade the second wave
I'm on 5g lets hope it will not take all day to download
it says directX12 was not correctly installed 
Just logged in and played a few levels for the first time this phase, but the game is running worse than ever after PC upgrades.
Any ideas as to why I'm having extreme lighting fluctuations and stuttering issues all of a sudden on:
AMD Ryzen 5 9700X
RTX 3070
32gb DDR5
Low/med/high seem to all have the same visual effect. Only noticable diff is the low seems less "sharp" and more blurry
Last patch made the game run worse for a lot of people
when I start the Launcher it says DirectX12 runtime mandatory prerequisite ws not correctly installed
anyone have had same problem?
you can install dx12 directly here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35
it did help
<@&542059693779058748>
Hey I Created an Account some weeks ago and didnt recieve an E-Mail to activate this account.
I allready tried :
Resending the E-mail
Contacting the support
I also cleared my E-Mails so i dont miss it
Help would be nice I really want to play/buy the masterpiece but i cant because of the Account Problem.
Thanks in Advance
Can you create another new account using the desired email? It could have been mistyped the 1st time.
allready tried it it says its taken
and the cookies are saved so he automaticly gives me the resend message prompt
i can delete those and use a second email but would be nice to have it on the main ^^
Try using the forgot password function, that should bypass the email validation
Does anyone know how to multi box? I wonāt be using it to run any script or anything like that. Steven just recently posted that as long as youāre not using any scripts or anything like that, itās perfectly acceptable. But for some reason, even when I use sandbox or whatever I canāt seem to get it to work, does anyone know how to get it to work?
Hereās a post stating that itās perfectly acceptable as long as youāre not using it for scripts.
ohh havent trierd nthat good idea i try it right away
omg i was a moron the password reset didnt work but got around on another way (Used another browser....) XD
are there plans to address combat boiling down to standing still with 7 other people for hours doing the same button rotation / running macros?
is the current state of pve group combat intended or are there plans to overhaul combat before launch?
There are more missing skills and classes than implemented.
ah dang, I was hoping there were plans to overhaul combat itself. iām not sure how adding classes/skills can address the base issue
"overhaul combat" probably not. PvE itself isn't intended to be extraordinarily hard as PvP is also a part of it.
Combat will be improved upon, but it's unlikely it'll be overhauled as the sentiment regarding combat has been pretty positive overall
If you're looking for PvE combat like WoW Mythics or FF14 Ultimates for example you'll be disappointed. Steven has said they're not targetting that sort of content
And archetype and mob balance will keep changing
https://youtu.be/1g2uxQfAJqA?t=1777
There he talks about PvE content
Are class combinations as shown in initial trailers going to be developed way later? I'd imagine so since that mechanic sounds pretty crazy given the number of possible combos
i guess i was just expecting something other than standing still and running macros. after 60 hours it made me want to just uninstall š¦
Come back after the next big update. No reason to burn yourself out.
Damn that's surprising, I actually think the combat is pretty neat
Mobs in-game are also low-mid level. I can't think of a single MMO that has complex open-world mobs mid-way through the leveling process and I've played dozens
it was fine initially (maybe until level ~15), but dang after hitting cap and looking back, it never changed or got more engaging.
group just stands there semi-afk doing the same thing forever. tank is the only one that kind of has to push buttons differently.
this is coming from someone with thousands of hours in stuff like Anarchy Online and such, so Iām no stranger to grind or macros.
I guess I just expected something novel there and not the same old. Pet classes might do it for me ill admit.
When are the servers shutting down ? Anyone knows?
Is there any plans to rework the size of ore? currently as a journeyman miner i can't even loot all the ore i mine because i get too full (with 3 JM Bags)
Then to process all the ore i need 3 storage tabs, not even including all the fragments / clay / mortar / dust i have to store after.
Also gathering having static rarities kinda sucks because ppl just camp the legendary ones
Now try getting your bank wiped lol. The best response I can find is āpotentially next week maybe a fixā I got mine wiped last week and Iāve met other people whoāve had theirs wiped for several weeks with very little acknowledgement
where do i submit screensshots of a confirmed trade that failed to transfer everything in the trade . i cant submit it via in game report because i prntscrned the screen shot ?
Thereās a bug reporting section on the forums
Ye personally im just gonna stop gathering until they improve the system.
You don't get anything good anyway because ppl just camp teh legendary spawns.
Yeah calling something ārarityā then having specific spawn locations on timers is weak asf. I enjoy the game a lot I just canāt put time into something that doesnāt have the infrastructure to hold my collected stuff in the bank safely
Also cs works too
Yeah, working. It's not very high.
I'm personally convinced that the static-rarity nodes exist as some sort of really poorly thought-out slapdash fix for how heavy of an impact constant gathering/harvesting rolls for rarity and amount were on the servers. Otherwise, it makes very little sense
It's already been confirmed as a placeholder.
If everything is just a placeholder, then what are we testing?
Not everything is placeholder
The combat isn't placeholder for example, the networking isn't, the assets (mostly) aren't, etc. it's just that none of the systems are done so it's early iterations of them
Specific parts are placeholder so you can properly test the other parts. It's scaffolding so the thing can stand and be tested without needing the build the entire structure only to find out that one chunk needs changed which will propagate out and cause an entire rebuild.
I understand. At this point I am unable to continue enjoying my testing because the games ability to save your stored items data is apparently a placeholder. I have several guild members who are missing their first 2 tabs of bank space
The game is quite literally multiple years from release. It's not something that will release this year, next year, or even (imo) the year after. So every system is an early iteration
All my glint, legendary materials everything I need for professions all poof vanished. And they havenāt even addressed it in the waves and waves of bugs this weekend
Quick question:
Does anyone know why Weeping Willow trees are so rare?
For example there's people saying that PvE fights are too easy, but it's like, yeah, it's level 20~ fights
I don't know of a single MMO with level 25 world bosses or mobs that are threatening
Thatās nowhere near the point of priority rn if you cant even have safe bank storage
Did they give an update on the guild disband button being accessible to all members?
Are you on vyra? We don't have jmans axes yet so Braidwood can't be harvested. Which means when a Braidwood spawns its there until server reset
And the Braidwood makes takes the spawn chance from weeping willow?
Ah yes i am in vyra
That's why. Axe is why they killing people going to az
Lvl 20 Mining and lvl 19 lumberjacking
But i dont want to pay much fot simple weeping willow wood
Ah thanks
Once axe has been around a few days the willow price will crash in the exact same way being able to harvest t3 iron etc made lower rarity metal nodes more commonplace
Also there are some issues with willows grown in freeholds being common everytime instead of growing at random rarities. You can proc a +rarity increase but with no gear they come out common everytime (I hear)
To hell with axes, we need a Long-Longbow that shoots 100 yrd rng. Ranger only ofc xd
What is the difference in scaling between elite mobs and higher level mobs?
Fior example, what is the difference between a level 10*** Goblin and a level 15 Goblins.
Does this question make sense?
Health for one. You'll probably find a three star lvl10 goblin has a gap of multiple hundreds, if not thousands from other lvl10s. I imagine their damage is much higher too.
Fairly certain there's higher chances for loot too. But not sure.
I am trying to figure out why they bother with stars at all and not just higher levels
Added difficulty and better loot chances for that particular lvled area, I'd say.
Fairly certain all areas and mobs have them too.
Why bother with the star system at all? WHy not have them just be higher levels?
That is what I am trying to get to the bottom of
How do i submit video evidence of people exploiting?
Because each area right now almost feels 'zoned' for lvl grinding. If you can handle 6-10 and suddenly there's a lvl15, you're dead. Starred mobs promote cooperation and reward with more xp and loot.
the level indicates what your level is compared to mob. stars indicate how much you are going to benefit from grouping up to kill them.
The xp and loot system compares your level to enemys level. If there is too large gap (either way) you wont get optimal reward to your level.
How is this different than just the mob being a higher level?
If the system didn't work like it does with stars the best way to get gear and level would be to amass a massive zerg and tackle max level monsters.
Keep in mind, one of the major ideas of this MMO is to coordinate and cooperate with groups of other people. To arguably function as a society. Even if there are those that would see the world burn for eternity first
Starred mobs require small groups of similarly lvled people to the mob in question, promoting said major idea.
Tried this and reinstalled. No luck
journeyman axe At which node can it be made? EU
At the moment, if I play an elf, and make armor, it has an elf style but only on an elf. If I give that armor to an orc, it changes to orc style armor. Are there plans to allow styles to be interchangeable? Like an orc wearing elf armor and so on?
that'd be hilarious, an orc wearing dwarf pants like a thong
Have you played ESO?
not for fashion no
In ESO, you can make hundreds of styles for the same tier armor
Kanya is where most of my favorite coffee comes from
I went to that link, it seems presumptuous to assume a player playing an orc wouldn't want to wear another cultures armor or garb. Plus, it seems very limiting nas restrictive, no?
Question 2: are they planning to make the character creation better? At the moment it seems hard to make a good looking human or elf.
Question 3: when will deer be in game as a mount?
Just some feedback on the Ranger.. I think the āMarksā raven, tiger etc.. should just mark the target for its duration but lower the % effect.
What is also bit frustrating is once you select to Mark the target you are in auto combat . Hurting your opening move.

Feedback is better on forums this is a questions channel
Their character creation is not even close to done
Might want to ask in the server channel below
I forget are the servers open on tuesdays?
same game wont launch
Open for another 5 and a half hours unless they say otherwise
You can do ur opening move, then right before it finish casting or halfway in casting, cast the mark... it wont cancel your opening
Can you RP walk in this game?
Like walk instead of run, for the purposes of looking cool
Yes there is a button, iirc it's .
Perfect, thanks!
Just wanted to know if it's in, button can be figured out later š
š«”
That's great news
I keep crashing out after about 5 minutes, is this common? this last patch really did a number for me. š«
when rogue
Some time this month at the earliest
to buy or not to buy? That is the question.
Great when it works š
That's entirely up to you. It's your money. Look up gameplay and form your own opinions on it. I wouldn't trust other people with a $100 decision.
There's a 90-day refund policy, right?
Not saying that you should focus just on that - but if you buy it, and figure out later that it's not for you (yet), you can refund I think.
I'm curious if it's a "no questions asked" type of policy? Like, can one play for like 70 days and then refund?
Or does the dev team ask you why you wanna refund, and then they have to approve it? And in some cases, they can deny it?
What happens if I drop my Artisan cert from Apprentice back down to Novice? Do i lose the levels beyond 10? or just no longer have access to the tools/materials?
I crashed after I dug up my treasure chest and when I came back it was back buried and I can no longer dig it up, anyone had this issue?
lose access, lose lvls past 10, and in some cases cause bugs relating to artisanship cert upgrading again
after digging you have a less than 30 second timer
bugs relating to upgrading again? just in reference to that specific Artisan class right? it wont affect my others?
So since I lost connection before I looted the chest itās unattainable now?
basically
Unsure of specifics, happened to a guildy
ok, thanks
Best thing to remember is this is an alpha and that means a buggy mess with things disappearing, your characters getting bricked, unexpected downtime, and systems not being fully implemented so they seem to be broken. Is this does not bother you then go for it. If it does waiting never hurt.
It's a terrible buggy mess and already N to the Nth power better than anything else in the genre right now
Anyone know how to fix this error?
can rogue use 2h instead of dagger?
Rogue is still under development, not yet released. So information is not 100%
Can't ppl play it on the PTR?
PTR is currently testing node sieges, nothing about rogue yet
rogue is on ptr tomorrow
Umm what happens to caravan if you haven't reached your destination during server down time XD
?
Most likely a recover caravan option in under the mini map, possibility of cargo being deleted tho, and also possibility of the varavan being 10-100 feet behind or in-front of last known spot.
Anyone knows where is the sergeant of the grove named location ?
1
when servers start ?
For combat, does it matter what race you are?
no
sadge
./
I mean hunter can use magic wand instead of bow
and still be able to use abilities
so I think 2h rogue sounds possible
yeah and im look forward to use dagger as a fighter lol
Im a lvl 22 Tank and in found tanking Funny and challenging. Intrepid changed something with the last Patch. Now, i can only tank half of the mobs then before and die more often. Iām grinding BiS Gear right now for becoming more tanky and doing more dmg, cause soloing is more efficient for me and makes more fun. Really sad. @obsidian knoll
Maybe you can change something back ^^
when can play the race Tulmar ?
Agreed, tanking felt much better before last patch. Hopefully something can be fixed.
I agree @Exodus this past week seems like as a tank I tank more damage and do less.
If you read the patch notes you'd know they changed a bunch of things on the tanks skills
Y, im in a big Guild and have contact to many Tanks and Healers, everyone is feeling the same. You cannot tank the Same amount of mobs like before. Maybe they changes the mobs too (better stats, better dmg)
The Tulnar race is expected sometime in Phase 3.
is the rogue out yet?
Not in alpha yet
okie
Sometime soon though probably
Hello. I was wondering where could i get technical help with ashes?
Here is the first place you can try. If we canāt help you, customer support, but they may take 3+ days to get back to you depending on their current ticket queue.
in reference to my question yesterday about downgrading Artisian ranks. what happens if you have an apprentice tool equipped? does it revert to your Novice/Crude depending on what you had? or you just need to go get a new tool?
good question
I know you lose the xp but not sure on the tools
My wife accidently hit downgrade instead of upgrade on hunting lol.. no warning poof from lvl 20 to 10
Obviously cant test it atm lol, but I've been uprgading all my gathering without realizing i was capped at 5 apprentice +. So I guess I'm going to be finding out on Thursday.
Before server was shut down i was trying to launch ashes on my wife's pc and i failed so miserably. 3 days i was strugling and can't find the issue. I reinstalled fresh win 11. Installed latest rtx video driver. Downloaded the game everything is ok. Logging to the game. Everything is ok. Since loading is done and character in game the screen freezes. Ok i reinstall game, reinstall drivers. Start launching still at beggining game freezes. Ok so i had reinstalled windows again checked if card is ok on benchmark, downloaded throne and liberty (Runing no problems). Then start Ashes same problem again. Ok i lover resolution to lovest same problem. Fix dll files, same problem. Im in dark alley and have no idea what else to do? pls help someone
Cannot type in other channels like Alpha-two-archetype, artisan, bugs etc.. I have been on this server for over 2 months now.
i think you need to bind discord to ashes on website
does a person lose all his gear after he dies in pvp?
@crystal beacon - I have it bound and I still cannot type in those chats
No. Players only lose gear if they are corrupt, which means they killed a player in PvP outside of a PvP event where the killed player did not fight back.
Current design is that there are tiers of corruption that you get depending on how many targets you killed that didnāt fight back. At first tier of corruption, if you die then you drop 1 piece of gear. The amount of gear dropped increases with the higher tiers.
You can read the wiki article Iāll link next to understand it more
Corruption in Ashes of Creation refers to:
Player corruption gained through the PvP flagging system.
Corruption tarnishes the characterās spiritual essence. Their ability to utilize the Verraās magic found within them is diminished. ā Steven Sharif
Corrupted Essence is the negative aspect of The Essence, spread by The Ancients during the Apocalyp...
oh i see, i have seen guild vs guild clips in pvp, do they lose items when other guild player kills them
It depends on if the players are flagged for PvP combat or not which is indicated by their nameplates being purple
Corruption is meant to deter killing players who donāt want to be killed, so gvg fights wouldnāt typically involve corruption at all
aight i seem to understand, ty
So any suggestions?
Sometimes clearing shader cache can fix driver issues.
Not sure how to do that on an Nvidia.
Can't I download because the game is closed?
yeah you wont be able to connect
:/
New to the discord and looking to purchase game access. Should I wait to get the may 1 one or is the game available to play/test now? Also does that include future key access
The game is currently available to playtest Thursday morning - Monday night PST. Purchasing a current test access will get you access to all future tests. The game will be $15/month upon release with no box cost. Purchasing in now is up to you. Weāve been told there wonāt be character wipes for phase 3.
So servers are down for 60 hours/week (2.5 days)
The plan is for them to be up 100% of the time excluding any maintenance starting May 1st.
Thank you for that information
they said they dont plan on wiping, not that there wont be any wipes. and know that it is an alpha, and it is shakey and there are problems. everything is subject to change, and nothing is truly safe. including your inventory, or things like caravans. bugs can cause you some serious hurt and you have to be prepared for that if you're gonna play an alpha test hehe
Oh I'm aware I have played multiple alpha beta tests i don't mind at all
i thought the same thing then my bank got wiped rofl. it hurts brother.... it hurts hahaha
Im sure haha
im here for it. i just wanted to help prepare you lol ā¤ļø

On the wiki it says "Stolen commodities yield a lesser value than the original commodities and can only be exchanged at nodes that have opted to construct a black market service building"
Is the black market service building in the game currently?
Tried searching but didn't see any answers here or on the webpage. have applications to the Content Creator program been closed? I realize i'm kind of late to that particular party.
Thank you! Appreciate it!
Sure! I gotchu.
Sometimes DMing a mod or CM that's online is the fastest way to get attention on something like this. Questions is more a channel for Ashes of Creation game questions, not really a place to ask for things like name changes or other support
Understood 
Why canāt I chat in other chats?
Was it my name? I updated it now. Edit: nope I cant change my name here
Is it intended for the starting zone wood mill to not process anything aside from the tutorial logs and not give any XP?
You need the alpha 2 tag, to get it you gotta link your intrepid account to discord
Ty!
The tutorial wood stone and snowdrops are not intended to get xp
There is a lumber mill just northeast of Samiaās Hope that will process oak, ash, western larch, and eastern hemlock. Look for a small point of interest marker on the map called the woodshop. It is east of the Briarmoor farm emberspring.
I figured, it's just not clear or explicit.
Has there been any info about Rogue and Summoner recently?
Earliest estimate (from players not devs) for rogue is late this month, summoner tbd.
Iirc rouge is being play tested on the ptr currently.
The game doesn't hold your hand at all. It might a bit more in the future, but not in the Alpha phase.
Ashescodex website has the talent tree data mined
For Rogue
do we have a timeframe when rogue / summoner will be added?
What's the deal with ptr? Is that public with all of us who own keys to the Alpha?
It has kickstarter backers, no way to currently get in.
yeah it's alpha, so not knowing if it's bugged or intended was what brought me here š«
Ya, there's a lot of things we're all wondering if theyre bugs or intended. I usually air on the side of bug and report it in game if I can't figure it out in relatively short amount of time. Potentially makes them realize things aren't very clear if a lot of people report it.
pro tip š yeah I'll just start filing tickets so they can at least query it, maybe help surface some minor UI annoyances
I've reported a typo like 3 times now dating back to November and it hasn't been fixed. I don't think "tincreases" is a word haha.
But do we have a timeframe for when Rogue and Summoner will be added.
The Rogue archetype is scheduled for release sometime during Alpha-2 phase-2. The current estimate is PTR release in early February, and A2 release at the end of February 2025.
The Rogue is currently out of design's hands and into the VFX pipeline and the sound effects pipeline. Animation and design work has been relatively completed. There might...
rogue ^ summoner will be in phase 3, after May
Question is regard to buying Alpha 2 of Ashes. it seems like you dont get Alpha 3 if you choose to do so. is this correct?
purchasing alpha 2 phase 2 includes alpha 2 phase 3, beta-1, beta-2, and 1 month of sub time when the game launches
thanks for the quick answer š
Is it still possible to use a referral of a friend, after creating an account ? If so, what is the timespan?
No, theyād have to make another account if they wanted to use someoneās code
What would be the playtime limit for a refund ? like steam, 2 Hours ?
https://support.ashesofcreation.com/hc/en-us/articles/360018517854-What-is-the-refund-policy
Just contact CS, I haven't seen any issues.
How long before the actual game comes out
Not this year, not next year...
2030 maybe
probably will still get AOC before GTA VI
I want the dragon race bro so bad
Does anyone know what new things you can harvest after level 10 herbalism?
Thank you!
Hey guy's, just wondering what server is best for australians, ping and latency wise?
OCE goes US usually
The guild recruitment is even grouped https://discord.com/channels/256164085366915072/763503621052563456
Thank you, i didnt even see that channel.
The time commitment to do all this ain't worth the 15%
are there any good guides for starting out in AoC? just started playing this weekend and i feel im a bit in over my head
Yo, we ALL kinda new. wouldn't sweat it too much. What realm are you in?
EU one i think its called Lotharia??
Oh okay. Was hoping you were on NA. I would've played with you.
haha no sorry !
"Starter Guides" may not be a good source of info though... So much could change until launch, just play the game with no goal in mind. Explore and experience the game in its early stages. Personally i just get high and explore.... lol
Pretty damn good mechanics so far.
will do, maybe not the getting high part xD
i love the combat so far tho but im only lvl 8
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVJI7kazbQw I clicked through a few and this one seemed like it broke it down a bit better without rushing through some obvious thing that usually are over looked.
thanks!
If capes have armor weights like, Light, Medium, Heavy do these count for the Weight Class bonus?

They do not.
Yea someone explained that it doesn't have the weight bonus so they don't count and that made sense.
Is there a way to transfer gear to alts
Only way I know how at the moment is to trust someone
hopefully we get shared stash before rogue update
i am having funn but i just feel stuck, and i know i cannot be the only one feeling this way
I started playing on Sunday so Iām wondering will I have to download an update before playing on Thursday or is there anything else special to get back in after the 2 days off they take each week?
It is a testing client. They push multiple updates. Usually at least one a week, and depending how broken, maybe multiple hotfixes during that week. Sudden down times, a whole host of issues. If you are looking for a "one and done" play experience from an established "live release game" this is going to be frustrating for you.
anyone know why this is happening? iāve tried all the other troubleshooting methods around and nothing helps change this. also getting a message when i try to clear game cache that says ācannot delete game settings while patchingā but donāt see anything updating or installing
Servers are down.
this has been happening for two days when the servers were up too
Well, it is definitely going to happen right now.
so possibly should could be resolved by thursday when servers goes back up?
Try a different browser. Intrepid defaults to Edge and for many people this may cause issues, especially if they have disabled it. People occasionally get the authenticate error, but if it persists constant after trying normal internet troubleshooting, then file a ticket. **A "trying to authenticate" error typically means that a system is attempting to verify your identity (like your username and password) but is unable to do so due to incorrect credentials, network issues, or problems with the authentication server itself; essentially, it's saying that you're not recognized as a valid user trying to access a service. **
As in try after servers are up. Cause right now you are not going to get authorization.
gotcha, yea i see i downloaded from a browser of my own liking so ill try this as well and hope that was it. thank you šš½ @ruby swift
can i download the game files while the server is down? i downloaded the launcher but it only gives me the information that the servers are down once i logged in.
You cannot download the current build while servers are down. There is usually a new build when the servers come up, so usually you have to download more anyway.
okay thank you š
Why not release the game in a playable state as is to early acess and continue development?
Can you elaborate on that idea so I can more thoroughly explain why that won't happen
This is what is being done. The game is in a certain playable state. But as development is still ongoing, there is still a lot of bugs and changes happening, as new content is being added, problems are being constantly found and resolved etc.
This is what an alpha is for. Unusually, this game is developed in an open accessible alpha. Often all this is done in a closed environment
see you in 10 years guys
we will be there to tell u what u have missed š
any idea when the severs come back?
Because if they do that, it will be more expensive, people are already complaining about the game being 100$ to play for minimum 2 years.
So imagine people if they need to pay 360$USD to play 2 years.
Rogue coming?
On test server today
Do we know when test servers come up?
Man...
As in the NDA server
Here
The PTR ? You need to go on channel that linked to PTR
It is visual NDA only
Not confirmed today but rumored to be*
Steven changed his date to āearly Februaryā - he did say Feb 4 or 5 in an interview but
So....I remember AoC having a kickstarter way back when....however the kickstarter account I had back in 2017 no longer exists..is there a way to see if I had backed without having the original kickstarter account anymore?
Youād need to have access to your KS account to be able to have any way of verifying/redeeming.
Yea, my KS and email from back then are both long deleted...had some Identity issues come up back in 2018 that everything from before that was lost
Without the email thereās likely nothing they can do for you, but feel free to submit a ticket

Question: What are the points of crates? 1) Can you pack with them with commodity vendor items and load them on the daystrider to make money? 2) Or how do you use them to make additional gold? 3) Is there another mechanic outside of caravans you can deliver commodities between nodes to earn gold?
You Can pack them with actual ressources allowing you to transport huge amounts of materials from one town to another, for buy orders for example
How do you get access to the Alpha two discussions they all say I dont have persm to post
This is a scam, the servers are down for 84 hours or 3 1/2 days.
Bye. Can I haz ur stuffz
No, but steven can send you some glint for being his fanboy
It is 2.5 days. Get your math right if you want people to pay attention to you.
Is there a way to change the username associated with my intrepid account for like forums and other things like that Iāve been plugging around their website and canāt seem to find it
When do the servers come back up?
Your math's bad
It goes down 10pm PST on a Monday and comes back up 10am PST on Thursday. That's 60 hours not 84
https://ashesofcreation.com/account/details under Forum Information
This doesnāt let me edit the username though it just shows me what it it the display name can be changed but not the user
could be that i am wrong but the 24 hours from Monday to Tuesday, was not a permanent change
Why do you think i want attention?
Yeah, there's no way to change the 'username', but that should only be visible to you and not anyone else. You can login with email too.
Gotcha
what do you get for getting a referral? š
currency for purchasing cosmetics after launch

guys if I get alpha wave 2 access and want to upgrade for wave to
question. a few years ago i saw a video of this game with a BR mode. hopefully that doesnt come back, but the combat looked wildly different, like action combat, as opposed to what's in the game now. what was the point of that? will that combat still be in the game?
Ashes of Creation Apocalypse, a different and now no longer game.
No, that combat isn't planned for the MMO
not a waste of time at all.. its all the process of development.. it allowed real time testing of the combat code in real time within a limited functional scope of what was available to them at the time
its what allowed you to have what you have now
many game studios do this for interal QA teams to test features.. you just normally don't see it publicly
Is there a set respawn timer on named mobs?
Believe so - though I wish there wasnāt.
How do I get perms to post in the AlphaTWO Channels?
You have to have an alpha key, then follow this: https://discord.com/channels/256164085366915072/908174013346508870
Thanks, I bought in this past Sunday.
can i send my alts gear i find or do i have to mule it through friends?
thanks, second question and possible bug. i traded a friend a bunch of gear and he said some of it was greyed out when he got it and couldnt trade it to my other character. Is there any sort of "binding" system that would prevent gear trading?
no, the only thing is that it'd be greyed out if they can't wear it. If they aren't able to trade it is a bug. If you couldn't trade then you couldn't off gave it to them in the first place
There is a binding system on quest items and glint but as far as i am aware that is it
thanks for the info! if its still greyed out on his trade window tomorrow we'll for sure send a bug report .
what time do the servers go up tomorrow?
#alpha-two-news has an approx time for when servers come up. It auto converts to your local time.
rip, was hoping the servers would be up 10PM PT tonight >.< im off to bed! glhf all
Unfortunately we have another 13 hours so I can't play untill after work tomorrow. Truly a sad time.
Can servers come up now? I'm bored.
How do I get permission to send messages in alpha 2 channels?
I have done it already. Does it take some time to process?
Got it solved.
any ptr patchnotes this week ?
yes but they are small and were just some tweaks to class skills.
should disappear when you quit the launcher; at least from what I observed (it most likely lives in your tray)
but to answer your question, #alpha-two-bugs-issues-old might be a good place to start; possibly the support site itself
Being able to see the launcher in game like its a far removed but visible admin box was not something I expected today.
is there a channel for guilds which are recruiting?
"No Access"
You'll need to select the English language tag in #read-me-first 
best moderator thanks ā¤ļø
Salutations Everyone,
When rogue?
2026
Any idea what the lore behind the name ashes of creation is lol
i have a stupid question. Do i need to be a citizen of a node to list stuff in the marketplace there?
Nope just lvl 10.
i see. so i just need to grind levels
hello guys, do u kbow if its a fresh start or na ?
no fresh start planned soon(tm)
The next fresh start servers that are confirmed are at P3 launch in May.
are they bringing back up servers today?
Yes, 2 hours from now
okay cooooo
How long does it take support to get back with someone? Generally speaking. It's been 3 days and I haven't had any update yet.
Longer than 3 days
It takes as long as it takes
Rogue coming today?
@hexed geyser go https://discord.com/channels/256164085366915072/908174013346508870 š
Patcher is UP now š
I canāt find a solid answer anywhere so Iāll ask here, are there staffs (staves?) for mages in the current alpha? If so, how would I acquire one?
nope, NO STAFFs planed as stated by Steven some weeks back
Bummer, thank you.
you re welcome, i use as mage atm a mace with focus and second a short spellbow
Whatās like the difference between a wand, book, staff, and like the upcoming orb?
Would it just be different traits in the weapon tree?
Where can i reach technical support guys?
for sure there will be different set ups then for the Orb

Shouldn't we play 5+ day a week during phase 2? To me, it seems a 4-
what time can i start playing today?
Yeah these 5 days are fake
There was never a + said and it's an alpha everything is subject to delays and changes.
very true @arctic skyvery true
Pops i think you're popped...
Lol just ignore that I said everything is subject to change and delays k
Sounds smart
ummmm what?...lol
So we're going to have a 3+ days alpha
They keep repeating the same thing over and over, but never once, we played 5+ days
Yes we have. Over Christmas
so the 24/7 could became 24/5
yes, that's correct
Just ignore them. This "Its not 5 days" is so tiring. Its semantics.
Open on 5 days. Various times
No where is it promised that 5 X 24 hours is the up time.
but if you open 7 pm and close 7 am it's a 4,5 days
Its open on 5 days. Thurs. Fri Sat Sun Mon
various times
so? it is what it is . lol
so they can also open 4 days and 1 hour to get 5 days for you?
pls show me where they promised 5X24 hours
ill wait
in what universe is a day not 24h
GREAT GOCHU
When you say "Open 5 days a week, mon - fri, 9 AM to 5PM"
If you didn't promise anything, then don't type 5+ days test. It's misleading
truth is that everyone can say it's stupid thought while we wait they open
How many days a week do you work?
Hey, this conversation seem to stray away from the channel topic
Hey. Go debate the meaning of 5 days in the other channel
none, i am in retirement age š
my comment was a question
why? we did a question...
The question was answered
Hey guy? how many days the game will be open? (is a new question)
I mean if you want a mod ban, keep going?
Hmm, how many minutes is a 'few' minutes for the realms to come up? 11min past the hour now.
12
I love you Velkin
servers up or what?
yes
still on standby š
i'm on
still connecting...
well i'm actualy mining ores right now
im now on aswell, servers are up here š
no patch at this week, nothing
everytime there is an update the friends list resets?
my launcher was patching the game o.O
Where can you read the patch notes for this week
When does rogue come out? It says early February, has there been any more info on this
Early feb is the plan for it to be on PTR, not live servers
If it does get added early feb to PTR then likely late Feb or March for live
are Lyneth, and Vyra US servers both Central?
Anyone know if they ever plan for the mouseover healing to work for Mend when playing cleric or is it just designed to force you to target friendly before using it?
Yes
Oh gotcha gotcha, thank you
No theyāre never going to fix cleric. Itās in a finalized state and is ready for launch just like caravans and the market stalls
/s I thought this was general
They will fix it - bugs take time to squish
Report it and have ever cleric you know report it. Maybe if we complain enough though /bug it will change
I probably should do that ;P until then it will remain my last resort heal.
When does rogue come out?
When can we expect the rogue?
āEarly Februaryā on PTR
āEnd of Februaryā for A2
But who knows for real
did anyone get the error 5
can i get a mod to deal with this guy harassing and griefing players and then using slurs on them
Can report them in the meantime: https://support.ashesofcreation.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
There are no in-game mods. Kill him yourself.
It resumes
thank you ā¤ļø
Why is the game constantly taking space from my C drive while running? My C drive is pretty small and no other game does this lol
Probably the logs. They are safe to delete.
If I buy the alpha and don't like it at all would I be able to get a refund ?
Within 90 days, yes
could you help me where is that located? every few minutes it eats like 3-400MB space (When I exit the game I get back all the space) is that the same for you too?
it's in %Localappdata%\AOC\Saved\Crashes.
You'll want to make sure these are disabled in the launcher (unless you're submitting a crash report): #alpha-two-news message
This is interesting, but nothing takes space in that folder, there are no "crashes" folder btw, only "Saved"
If anyone will have the same problem in the future, and found this comment, just look up your %localappdata% folder, and delete everything that you dont use anymore, I found files like f*kin pubg holding 600+mb files and baldurs gate 3 save files over 7gb, not talking other random old files that are not on the computer anymore taking up ~10gb file, it should be enough.
may i ask how to make a guild war?
Kind of a fucking joke they added "Bard" before Rogue either way.
The game had more of a need for a support archetype than another melee dps
Order doesnāt matter much anyways - itās an alpha. 
is there any menu that shows friends list and guild members?
Friends list is buggy, usually disappears. I think its O
Guild is U I think?
Oh really? Let me see how many melee damage archetypes there are.... ONE. Fighter. That's all there is for melee DPS and you say there's enough. Clearly unbiased. 
Hey why don't we add a 4th ranged DPS archetype while we're at it in place of a core class to the MMO genre?

My friend put in a support ticket earlier this week because his installer wouldn't show even after a bunch of trouble-shooting from forum threads, how soon can he expect his ticket to be answered? I wanted to play the game with them today but it's been 4½ days since the ticket was made and no response yet
Is it more of a bi-weekly thing?
I know that there's a lot of tickets, this isn't a complaint just more of a query
There are two people that answer tickets last I heard. They had that huge influx from Christmas and who knows how that is still effecting times
my caravan floated out of bounds, how do i get it back?
Mend doesnt seem to work with MO as far as I have been able to tell. Idk if that's intended or not. I hope they add it š I'll report it today!
I am a lvl 12, a lvl 24 killed me when i was moving a caravan, I did not fight back. I died, and he went corrupted. Is this intended, or was the corruption being applied a bug? I didn't fight back, but he killed me when I was defending a caravan.
Probably didn't opt in
ah ok, that would make sense
Just got the game, but it's not opening up properly.
Installed the game, hit "Launch Game" on the Launcher. Game client opens... but stays black (for about 5 seconds), then auto-closes.
Anyone else experience this, or know the fix to it?
Does your computer meet the minimum specs?

Yeah, it does
I created a Support Ticket for it already. I was just curious if anyone else has experienced this, and knows how to fix it, seems very common
Check this out. Helped me back then and fixed the issue
Ohhh shi!
Try it, might work for you as well. worked for everyone I know who ran into this bug š
Lol you beat me to it
I did the steps. Installed this x64 (cause my Windows 10 PC is 64-bit), and then restarted my computer.
After the restart, clicked "Repair" on the AoC Launcher.
After the Repair process finished, I hit Launch Game, didn't work.
Or maybe I need another restart?
Looks like you did it correctly.
This helped last week for some: #alpha-two-bugs-issues-old message
Damn, turning on those 2 checkboxes, then I clicked "Launch Game", and it worked.
Didn't have to Repair, or even restart my PC after those checkboxes.
Thanks, man! I appreciate it :)

Any place you can find some mobs you can kill by yourself.
I just sent a bug report about attempting to craft my journeyman hunter hunters bow, I have all of the resources i have more than enough golds to cover the crafting fee, and yet... when I try to craft it i get thie message : insufficient resources.
i however am not a citizen of the node i m trying to craft in. is that something I need to do???
There's some lvl 6 undead north of the mines above samia's hope. Then the bandits further up.
I tend to kite one mob at a time useing my axe throw skill as a tank
Were you playing around with mats? Seeing how they impacted quality?
If so, consider exiting the station, loading the mats in, then hitting craft.
(If not, no clue. Citizenship shouldnāt matter.)
the recipie requires common mats so that is what I used
you can craft when you re not at the station??
i wi ll try that
hmm if i back away just abit the crafting screen goes away
i ve got the 20 common willow planks, the one common bluebell thread and the one common tin ingot
it costd 25 silver, i ve got 2 golds...
I can t figure out what i m not doing right...
I am a level 20 journeyman hunter, withth a cerificate..
i m befuddled
i guess i need to wait on the devs oh well
guess it s time for an alt!!!!
Is it me or thereās some quests that are bugged
it is alpha, not a complete game. So the likelihood of bugged out quests is high so report them if you think they are bugged.

Hi, is saw on the wiki https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Helmets
that theres an option to hide/show helmets. Is this info wrong, or can i just not find the option?
It is a planned option for later.
ok thank you. Maybe someone should change the wiki ;D
The wiki has all relevant quotes concerning development. That they have not implemented the option yet during testing does not mean that it isn't coming.
how do you report someone?

The current five day test is scheduled to go through Tuesday, February 11, 2025 1:00 AM (Discord should show this as YOUR local time). As a reminder, during Alpha Two Phase II realms are scheduled to be up for five days a week. More information about Alpha Two Phase II testing schedules can be found here.
We also plan to have DAILY restarts scheduled to happen at:
5:00 AM for NA Realms
8:00 PM for EU Realms
trying to get some quick time in before work
well this is an awkward time to find out im illiterate, literally just looked at the news. ty for the help though
no problem i missed it the first time a few weeks back
Worry not. You find yourself among a veritable tide of the illiterate here.
why cant i type on the alpha 2 channels i have access is there something i need to do to get a role?
Gotta link your Discord to your Ashes account first
I found that out today the hard way 
ohh ok thank you
ssoo does the delta merge keep filling up and then again and again and again for anyone else? do i just wait is this common?
It is normal, just let it do its thing.
I have a question I saw 2 key. Wave 2 and wawe 3 if ı buy wave 2 Can I join wave 3 Or do I need to get both keys ?
You only need the one key, it will allow subsequent access to future testing phases including beta access. Your key also has 1 month of free gametime included as well as other goodies
the only difference between the keys is WHEN you have access, either now or on May
Thank you for your answer. My English is not very good, but as far as I understand, if I get the Wave 2 key, I will also have access to Wave 3. The only difference between the two keys is that if I want to access it now, I have to pay $10 more. Did I understand it correctly?
Also Beta, Yes
Thank you! Then I'm ready to start. As a 3D artist, I will give a lot of feedback on the visuals,
Great to have you on board, remember it is an Alpha and lots of things are not finished, broken and buggy. Enjoy your time!
I know I'm working on an MMORPG game. I decided to support the project because I liked the work being done Thanks !
does anyone know if any nodes havea good metalworking buff going currently? is there a way for me to check? the map doesn't seem to work
Will be the Summoner online, when the next Alpha Starts on 01 May.?
It's unlikely it will be added at the start of Phase-3
any idea which node gives bandit pacification bonus? +100% gather xp etc
is the realm down now? i wanted to download it. i have alpha two
Did you buy wave 2 or wave 3
wave 2
Server is online
why it says in the launcher that its not online now?
ok i found a bug... if i use my username to login it doesnt work
if i use my email - it works
i think there is some mix up... if i use my username and pw i can login but i see another username when i click on account
I just cant get into the game at all, game just instatly closes as soon as i launch it. Considering tryna refund.
When will we have a city in Windasea?

@shadow bluff @onyx knoll (tagging you just cause you were active recently) not sure this is the place for this type of question, but i wanted to ask permission first, am i allowed to post a gofundme link to a community channel? :)
Unfortunately that would be above our pay grade. I would speak to a CM about something like that. We would remove it based on our SOPās
So talk to big chief

That would fall under advertising which is not allowed under rule 3
i figured there would be some kind of rule, thats why i didnt want to jump the gun and just post :)
But yeah you can try DMing a CM and talking with them about your situation, they might allow it
i will do that thank you both
I'm kinda curious what kinda gofundme you would have posted in a discord for an early access game lol. Not dissing I've just never seen someone successfully post those in an official discord.
its a personal reason, not a business one, trying to fund moving my long distance wife to live with me š
It's okay i managed to get in, i updated my drivers and repaired the game. It's very laggy tho, fps going up and down like crazy
<@&542059693779058748> their doing it again!
someone clicked things they should not. Bad users
Anyone know how to return goods to mayoral commission depot? I see the box on the floor but when I click add it doesnt do anything.
Not sure if this is a bug so I wanted to ask before reporting, but the Burnt Ends quest seems to hang on this step.
Anyone know if its me or the game?
I think I had the same issue a few weeks ago. Def report it
Second question Does anyone know how to complete this i was at the church for 3 hours yesterday. My buddy grabbed the quest same time as me and got his done already.
The drops you are missing come from the sighted mob and the enthralled echo mobs. The great evil is referring to cursed ankhs etc, and the ancient items are called "ancient x". The drop rates are wild though. first time I did it it took me 6 full wipes of the church to complete, I just did it the other day in like 5 minutes...
Thank you!!!!
np... I am a quest/story nerd in these games so I have been messing with those systems the most lol
I feel it! Do you know how to turn in goods to commission box?
i hope they will change some details
if you are asking about the resource collection commissions, I havent really done any of those ones. But normally with commission board quests I just click to complete in my quest journal.
Same but this one is saying i need to drop off what i gathered but it wont let me drop anything off
maybe to the NPC next to the board?
If its a "turn in" sometimes you can complete them in journal. But sometimes you have to go stand beside the box (up by the mayors office) and then do it
i clicked everything and talked to everyone and it still doesnt do anything
can you not click the add button on the window top left?
iv clicked both adds 100 times and nothing happens
that might be a bug. you could also try relogging but if you can click the add button and add resources to it there might be something wrong
did you have this quest prior to the server reset? Sometimes they bug out on resets.
I picked this up yesterday after reset
reset was also this morning (They are daily) so that might be it. You may have to abandon and redo : (
We also plan to have DAILY restarts scheduled to happen at:
5:00 AM for NA Realms
8:00 PM for EU Realms
oh i did not know that
Do i post suggestions for changes in this text channel https://discord.com/channels/256164085366915072/1299156202764107880 ?
Whelp I abandoned and redid it and im still getting the same error of it not letting me complete it lol
then /bug a report for it. I have it ready to complete too! oh noes
are you sure you are at the right box? There are floor boxes by a few diff quest boards. (totally just spitballing here)
yeah i was next to the mayor commission board where i grabbed the quest.
Can someone tell me why when I fill a large crate with ore I can't seal it but when i put in one stack it will seal?
why u need fuel for professions, and you can just take any gathering material for it? or does it have benefits for different professions?
naw anything can be fuel, flowers, wood, fish. They do have diff fuel amounts tho. Flowers =1, wood diff values, ect.
The caravan was still there haha
is there any benefit of being a master fisher if your server only has an apprentice fishing vendor
ofc not
Has anyone had an issue where leveling up processing has then dropped you down a whole stage? was leveling weaving to 20, when i grabbed resources out of the weaving station and it dropped me to a lvl 10
Anyone know how long a refund ticket can take for a response?
More quality drops. But nothing else.
Any idea why? since 2 hours after relog
Wait on the error without dismissing it. After a few minutes you should get in.
thx will try
So are they ever planning on fixing the fact that all guild members can disband guilds and cant leave without being kicked?
It's an alpha give them time
seems like any guild member being able to disband a guild should be a priority
Yes they are planning to fix bugs

So what am I supposed to do here?
which quest is it, some of them are bugged
the one in the picture, "suddendly sawdust" is the name.
I wanna say that one's bugged
):
I spent so much time on it too ):
btw why is copper and zinc, so hard to find
I feel like I have to sell my sould to find the nodes
Best way to get tons of copper and zinc is treasure maps. But for getting them through mining, mine all the granite and basalt, they have a chance to get you some of those when mining them. They also need cleared out so more copper and zinc and other higher materials can spawn
asking for a friend, is it bannable to aggro mobs into a group to kill them and loot their corpses?
seems to be rampant though, like in every single grind spot
5 more years
I can't seem to enchant my gear with the novice enchanting scroll. Most of it is rare quality ashen haunt's gear, but some of it is green, and i cant enchant any of it. Anyone know why?
Becuase novice scrolls are for 0 lvl gear you need apprentice scrolls.
makes sense, ty
since weeks i didnt got ANY usable wood , and now i get this š , i guess the RNG gods was merciful ?
Are character server transfers possible?
Just wondering because my friend made a new character on a different server from mine
Currently, no.
Ill double check but even disabled it and still blocking
No
Just roll another
It's a testing phase anyway and they will get another chance to find bugs
any guidance on best places to find copper and cotton or thread?
Did they remove hip sculpting in character creation? My dude is flat :(
do you need rare excavation kit to do rare treasure map?\
how do I report players?

Alpha two get the Rogue in there yet?
No, "A2" does not get the rogue next week. The PTR gets an extremely basic version missing many parts next week.
is there a way to turn off movement when holding both mouse buttons?
guys, a question regarding performance. just logged onto A2 for the first time today, the graphic settings were pre-set to all ultra, the game is running smooth, apart from frame freeze/stutters every so often which seems consistent. no setting change seem to fully help. the system is an i9-14900K, 32GB 6000mhz OC'd RAM with a GTX4090. bios and drivers are up-to-date. I totally and totally understand its an A2 and optimization isn't the focus here, but I just want to make sure there isn't anything left that I can try to make the gameplay smoother for the time being, and just wanna know if this is normal for everyone. anyone having similar problems or is there an optimized settings majority uses? anything helps.
video setting "super resolution" to Performance
let me try and maybe restart game
it's so tough to explain. like the game is silky smooth when not moving and then while moving around starts stuttering.
just odd.
think maybe ill have to go low everything and turn em on 1 by 1 to optimize.
to make apprentice enchanting scrolls, do I need to be an apprentice weaver? if not, how do I make apprentice enchanting scrolls?
Scribe
https://ashescodex.com/db/item/Scribe_T2_EnchantingScroll
https://ashescodex.com/db/item/ArcaneEngineering_T2_Charm_Success
Scribe for the scrolls and Arcane Engineering for the charms
Realistically you ignore that entirely and you just buy the scrolls from the vendor unless you have a guild funneling you mats because you also need Herbalism to gather materials for Magic Powder, Apprentice Metalworking to smith Tin, Apprentice Stonemasonry to cut Emeralds, and Apprentice Alchemy to make Green Ink
And also Apprentice Mining to get Emeralds in the first place
And you also need the charms to make the charms which you can only get from doing maps or buying them
You need the charms to make the charms
I just think it's funny.
Any news on when questing will be added? Or whenever leveling will get changed a bit?
Questing already exists
Only thing missing in your giga line up. Is the game and launcher on an M.2 or SSD? If not, that won't help matters.
my caravan drop in watch and i can't get in again
can't type unstuck
what shoud i do
Log out away from it (out of render distance) for a 15 minutes. Go back to the caravan and you should have a recovery option. Recover it, and place it on land close by. That should do it.
t4t ill try it
Itās on SSD yeah.
is there any stupid hotkeys i should know about? i pressed something and now i can't use A and D to strafe, and now my left click is moving me with my camera while i autorun
I think you removed the camera lock
its in the option, but not sure if it has a hotkey
ty king that might have fixed it
Future reference, hotkey by default is Z.
I have a question regarding auto attack, every since the big update my auto attack gets interrupted. LoS is not broken. I dont get stunned or any type of debuff. Is this a bug that others have issues with as well?
Think its a bug but based on the way it feels and no specific evidence.
Are the archetype class gonna be the same as archeage were u can use the skills of the different type of class
Nope
Ashes of Creation hosts a wide array of progression paths that offer augments to a character's active skills.
Secondary archetypes.
Social organization augments.
Religious augments.
Racial augments.
Q: There are 32 augment schools, not including racial/social/religious augments, meaning a total of 8960 (280 spells * 32 augment schools) different...
Thanks its very interesting hope it works out
QUESTION :
do more people see a reduction in T2 / T3 Tree spawns ?
Any idea if maps got fixed on reset
is there any way to check specific taxes as a normal citizen?
Is there a way to split glint up back into the smaller tiers?
Buy a tax receipt or commodity
is this legal
Do someone turn off all bosess on Lyneth server?
