"Service Connection Timeout. Code 31, 32, 33, or 34"
"Connection To the Realm timed out"
These errors are all time out errors. They can be caused by a poor connection between your computer and our servers. This can also be caused by slow response from your computer.
Be sure to have Ashes of Creation installed on a Solid State drive and have a good stable connection. "
This is from there own website

im not comparing any server to any other games, so I dont care if its high or low compared to anything, I just care that 120ping is way over what I expected to get for 100€ honestly, didnt know there were only US servers

Going to slow the roll on this channel. This isn't a bug report channel Please use Alpha Two channels to report issues with Alpha Two

If you can't type in Alpha Two channels, but you have Alpha Two access, here's how you can connect your Discord to your Intrepid account: #read-me-first message

We're working through the connection issues, that are causing people to get errors 53 and 33. We'll get things fixed up as soon as we can

Thanks to everyone for their patience today flamingphoenix

Unlocking this channel. As a reminder, please have bug/issue reports in Alpha Two channels

Remind me - what is the max capacity on the server again? For how many players can be logged in and play at the same time. Because the queue says servers are full, or is it the login from character select that is full, but the gaming server still has space for many more?
ANSWER: (looked up the wiki for AOC) Apparently, 5 000s players can be logged in per server. Quite a lot for an alpha.

# tawny hemlock Phase 3. We are not in phase 3 we are still in Phase 2

Beginning May 1, 2025, we will shift to focused realm stress testing for the remainder of Phase II. A Fresh Start Realm, Shol (US East), will become available for all testers, with access expected to open around 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time. Shol will follow our normal 5+ day testing schedule. With this transition, Resna and Lotharia will be taken offline to concentrate efforts on stress testing Shol, and all users will need to create new characters. While additional realms may be added later if needed, there are currently no plans to bring others online during this period.

Anyone having issues with AMD CPU/GPU? I just got a 9800X3D/9070XT and I play for a bit and the game just hard freezes on me. Or is it the patch I am not sure. I had no issues on my previous intel machine and first time playing on AMD

Okay. then this part of phase 2 is over for me. I will be back at August 4. There is no point in continue testing for me if i have to start over from scratch only to be wiped again before phase 3. I dont mind the wipes but 2 wipes within 2 month is a bit much for my taste.

# prisma karma Big question: Is this game good yet?

its getting better with every update. I'm biased but i think its just swell. The devs at intrepid are very active and seem to be listening to our feedback in really tangible ways while also moving the game towards their unique vision. I remain excited about its potential. The testing process can be frustrating at times (like right now that I can't play) but the complexity of systems and interdependence on others is really exciting. I've made friends and had experiences that I cherish.

I believe you have to do something to link your KS and your Ashes of Creation account though.

Once those are linked, you have access. You just download the launcher and game and play when servers are open.

It depends on what you want to progress in. If you want to level up your weapon skill trees, then 100% yes. If you want to make money, then no. If you want to level up, you can do that via gathering, crafting, questing, etc.. In the games current state, a lot of mob grinding is required to level up, but that’s because it is an alpha. The quest system should be in a much better place come Aug 4.
