It uses a lot of space to do the things. Not uncommon for games to want lots of space.
It’s the unpack space. Temp prop.
Yes, but currently the space requirements for ashes of a creation state it needs roughly 100 GB, and then errors out even if you have 150
hot damn, mine has 216 bg 😄
They need to update the space requirements, or at least for alpha modified so people know how much maximum is used
Those logs can also build up. The crash logs.
Right now if you attempt a fresh install, it will install the launcher, then reserve 50 GB, then check for 100 GB free.
@sleek sapphire I installed the game on 2 PCs, on 1 PC I don't have 190 gigs on the disk. The black screen is only fixed by repair.
It seems like they put the cart before the horse in terms of checking for space and reserving it
the patcher folder hast 117 gb
Yeah, currently it appears that they haven’t really optimized for both performance, and disc space. Which isn’t a problem as this is Alpha. However I would imagine that they should update the requirements for Alpha to specifically call out that it uses much more than they currently officially state.
Maybe post it here
https://discord.com/channels/256164085366915072/1365494991509782558
it’s a fair ask.
I wonder if it's safe to remove all the .patcher, i m assuming those are all the pathches I had since i installed the game
i did do this, still not working
There are others talking about this issue in gen chat
If it continues I would post about it in the issues channel. Give very specific info.
Read here. You are not the only one. #alpha-two-general message
Also have task manager open and watch what is spiking.
90% cpu
Post your issue. When Intrepid staff come online in 4+ hours they can check it out maybe.
It’s 5am for them right now.
managed to run the game on a old PC with a 1030 video card without any problems, but on my main PC with a 4070, the screen is black. I think this is because of the space on the SSD, 200 gigs of free
what setting - unclocked camera movemnt do ?
was targeting the attacker always automatic? can i turn this off somewhere?
press Z or X? is it the action camera thats on?
@timid crystal any news?
Still the same no resolution. I'm going to bed rn it's midnight xo I appreciate the help.
then better uninstall the game and leave it to reinstall, cuz it takes a while 😄
also, do you have more than 200gb of space?
in target mode
Does increasing your mining skills also increase probability of rarity drop rate?
Umm?
how to buy an freehold?
I bound Q and E to turn left/right, but it's not working. Is there a way to fix this?
lvl 20 and 100G, and it has to be available. There may not be any. go to well on property thats where the menu is
Not sure? Sometimes I find some keybinds it just doesnt like. Try diff buttons? to check and see if those would work.
there will be a full wipe when release phase 3 on august?
They have only confirmed a fresh start server for Aug. They have not confirmed a wipe of Shol. But with the rampant hacking and destruction of any viable economy testing, you can bet it comes, possibly even before Aug.
Is there dupes in the game?
There have been various exploits found and fixed in the game over time. Right now there is not an obvious reported one that is being talked about. Does that mean there isn't one they haven't discovered yet? No, but the speedhacking is getting most of the attention atm.
Quick question - do Pylons have one / multiple / unlimited uses? Does anyone know? XD
where is apprentice lumber/carpentry, what node?
Does the Bard buff "tragedy" apply to just the bard or does it also boost menacing melody?
This is a spreadsheet made by an awesome community member. @analog ibex Shows all the nodes and buildings. Planned and done.

Where can I farm lvl 10+ gear
One use atm
yea, learned it hard way 😐
from monsters in the range of that level
droprate is pretty low
This really might be a stupid question, is it every Tuesday and Wednesday for the full day the servers are down? My husband and I play late at night (around 10pm EST). We are really enjoying our time spent. Wondering if servers are always down those two days or sometimes. I saw that it would be down for a few hours…
It was extended this week and usually yes the dawn days are Tue/Wed.
They can be extended depending on the development need.
Oh thank you!
did you report it as a bug?
What's the cost to play currently, and will there be fresh start servers next phase?
$100 and fresh start likely
What’s the best place for tank gear to drop?
The Quest "The Shining Shield" or other similar quests where you have to obtain a quest item. Will the "game design" (20+ ppl standing like BOTS in a circle and 24/7 punching to lucky get this guys tag and the needed item) stay like this ?
If so, who the hell thought this could be a good idea ?
You have like 0 chances to get this quest done as a casual player which is going to work.
probably not. but best way to actually provide some feedback would be in the /bug report
why is every channel locked
If you connect your Discord and Intrepid/Aoc account you will have access to the Alpha 2 channels here and can post feedback or bugs in the #1365494991509782558 and #1365478519441719377 Channels.
Here is a guide showing how to do this.
https://support.ashesofcreation.com/hc/en-us/articles/34934169325971-How-do-I-connect-my-Discord-account
^^^ for you as well 🙂
@rigid rose thanks, ill do that !
When is the server expected to open
They will post updates here
#alpha-two-news message
You can link your discord to your ashes account and get the Alpha 2 roles. Link is here step 3 -=> https://discord.com/channels/256164085366915072/908174013346508870
can someone help me with an issue ? i could not find in interface ingame , nor in discord . I want to disable camera zoom out when using sprint. is it possible to disable that feature ?
I don’t believe so at the moment
You can post that as feedback in #1365494991509782558
Are there any tweeks that can be made to reduce VRAM usage on my RTX 3080? I go from 0.3 to 9.7 GB used out of 10 when the game launches in town, and still close to 9 GB out in the wild. That's with resolution on the lowest setting and everything else low as well.
With the anti cheat thing added recently, it's really bad and crashes due to 'out of VRAM' often when rolling into town.
Are servers back up
I;m not able to verify my email to log into the site to buy a key. How can I get help with that
This article should help you out!
I'm getting the email. I hit the verify account and it sends me back to the website where it tells me to verify my email before logging in. Stuck in a loop lol
Oh yes, I know what to do there
delete your cookies, etc from your browser
That helped me in the exact same case 🙂
Delete Cookie and create new account
Whyh
@runic grotto @split hemlock Got it thanks!!!
WHY CAN'T I USE COAL AS FUEL FOR CRAFTING STATIONS!? IT'S RIGHT THERE, IT'S COAL, AND I GET IT ALL THE TIME WHEN I'M MINING THESE GODSFORSAKEN ROCKS. BRUH WHY!?
Anyone else had issues with paypal when trying to pay for a key? Got a friend whos transaction is stuck in pending
Why phoenix sentinels hit us
No issues here, and i play on Linux so i'm always expecting a AC error 😛
They're very sensitive. Submit a bug report and hopefully it will get looked at. I had a skeleton attack my mount, which for some reasom triggered them to kill my mount, then me.
man this sucks im just trying to get materials to level armor smithing and some dude clearly speed hacking come flying me and mines out everything of value in front of me :/
you might not have enough vram? the min specs are only going to keep increasing.. try a forum ticket
If I'm participating in the Node Siege playtest, should I already be able to see the NDA channels?
Where can i see all the content that is going to be added to the game on august in alpha phase 3?
Minimum specs says GTX 1070, recommended is RTX 3070, both of which have 8 GB of VRAM, while I have 10 GB on the 3080
And that's for 1440p, I set my resolution to 1024x768
Plus 50% scaling with the recent updates adding DLSS support to the 3080
Doesn't seem to make any difference to VRAM usage
Yes - you can either dm a CM or raise a support ticket to see if you can get the roles necessary applied to you
I think it’s only accessible by certain backers - are you sure you should have access?
If you have access to the PTR, channels should unlock (like access to type in Alpha Two channels happens) when you have your Discord account linked
Here's info on how to link, and sometimes you have to disconnect and reconnect to get thinks to link: https://support.ashesofcreation.com/hc/en-us/articles/34934169325971-How-do-I-connect-my-Discord-account
What do I do to fix my crashing issue, click play and it just crashes after a few moments on the black screen.
i literally hunted 50 broodlings whats the % to get the mount?
There is a "Black Screen" thread in A2-bugs-issues with a couple of things you can try.
I just found it thanks @carmine wing
I followed the instructions and it said "disconnect" which means I'm connected, but I don't see any channels
Are the servers down tell Thursday?
Did you have PTR access previously? We haven't added more people to the PTR for today
Did you get the first invite email? Or did you get RSVP link from someone else?
This was from Intrepid

Profession certifications: Some NPC offers to promote you in a profession. When I clicked on that option nothing happen. Can't seem to figure out how it works using the wiki. Anyone can guide me?
How many tokens are needed for the node cloak? Is it different for each node?
Copper finding question: Someone in-game told me that you can sometimes gather copper from Basalt and granite farming. True or fake news?
True, but my personal experience is that it's around 2 copper per 400 basalt/granite
You must be at least level 10 for the first promotion and level 20 for the second. You must also have at least skill level 10/20 in the profession your trying to promote.
Thank you @stable plover
How can we transfer guild leadership?
For the sounds in the marketplaces, I think you recorded the sound in a real marketplace in Türkiye and uploaded it. Can you give information about the sound asset here?
Anyone else have trouble with Tracing the Seal of Revenge on Echoes of Betrayal Quest or is it just me?
Do all trees mature?
Anyone else getting nothing when the launch the game>? I gotta do it sometimes 10 times before it works
Can you post what's happening in a bit more detail over in #1365478519441719377 ?
This is true! 😄 It does take awhile, though.
Do trees mature Nyx? Or do they spawn as different maturities and stay that way?
Is physical/magic resist really work at only pve?
No, there are no PVE PVP armor/stat differences
But we got the +500 armor/magic resist necklace
Then we tested it at pvp. Nothing didn't change, before/after equip it
we got this for our tank
bug it ingame (/bug) or here: https://discord.com/channels/256164085366915072/1365478519441719377
Can we enchant yet?
Is the alpha 2 test gonna run until the 3rd test or is there no information on that
Yes, P2 will directly run into P3, which should also run into the Betas.
they're supposed to - and im pretty sure the growth factor of resources is tuned way up currently for alpha testing
i've not seen one turn to mature myself however
Let me check for you!
Yeah I'm not seeing them mature either.
Thank you.
My pleasure. Once they get back to me, I'll pass the info along in here. 🤝
When do you plan to stop the torture of low level players by level 25 players?
Is anyone else game bugging really hard rn
We definitely don't endorse torture of players at any level.
Is there a specific feature you're asking for?
@grave harbor Plz! Give DLAA back! Thanks.
They come to level 10-15 camps, slaughter us, collect our materials and leave.
Or they pull 3-star creatures into the middle of the party and become invisible, again putting the whole party to die.
I'm so tired of going through this and losing my materials all the time.
You are right, the game is difficult and requires effort, but you will lose most of the players who think like me because of such immoral players.
They are asking simple features like high level players can't kill low level players. And that you fix the mobs, the aggro range should be where the mob spawns not 500m away the threat should reset if you are not hitting the mob and the mob should reset to their spawn point and not aggro players that are not hitting them.
How can we transfer guild leadership?
Far as I can tell, no.
That doesn't really make sense. If a mob is agro it should attack you if you're in range of it, it's got nothing to do with where it spawns.
The max level players griefing low levels are assholes though.
So you think you should get aggro from a mob that are 100m away from his spawn point even if you don't hit him.
It would be stupid if an agro mob just ignored you.
is it possible to get anyones help about an item being deleted/not being in inventory after logging out?
Is there going to be fishing in the tropics soon?
You can fish anywhere can't you?
Everytime I try to fish on the coast I get a message "Looks like the fish aren't biting here"
Oh I see.
do updates need to be redownloaded if they are interrupted?
or the client always just shows the progress from "0" ? and continues where it left ;d
If your screen goes black, i find that often resets the loading bar, then it catches up quickly. May be a windows 11 thing interupting processes on screen turn off
i had the worst luck xD for past 4-5days every time i turn on laucnhe server goes off after 30 mins
What's the spawn timer for hornhexer? And are they same for all mini bosses?
There's a daily restart.
Progress is saved.
Anyone else getting killed by the Embersprings Guards for no reason? that has happen to me 5 times tonight and its getting a little old. If there a mob near the Embersprings when your in the area the guards insta kill you.
Yes, /bug it
Have they talked about developing pvp areas to have better loot? 100 dudes in steelbloom isn't fun personally
there is a luck and xp multiplier in lawless zones
Lawless Zone is a buff in Ashes of Creation.
Duration: ∞
Dispellable: No
Persists: Death
Stacks: 50
Effect description
10% Adventuring XP Multiplier and 500 Luck Rating
Anyone know if there is a way to trade commodity crates with other players in ashes?
I used my backflip skill on ranger in town and got annihilated by guards today.
why should the aggro be where the spawn is ?! thats so wrong , this is a true old school mmo feature not this care bear , there is nothing broken to fix , and its a pvp/pk game
nobody force u to play a pvp mmo , u choose urself to test it , stop trying to change a game cz it doesnt fit ur mentallity
thx xD i just went and ordered new internet :)) the was living on 350 gig's till now xD thats not sustainable with those updates
Will there be a Spell Power Shield eventually for casters?
maybe that would depend on ur 2nd archtype
I was thinking perhaps a Battle Mage or Paladin type
well paladin type for sure wouldnt be a mage archtype 😄
No no no lol. Just thinking of a way to tank or armor up the mage as well
dunno if that gonna be viable with out losing a lot of dmg , mage supposed to die easier than other classes cz of the high magic dmg , i would guess 😄
true - the glass canon
is there a reason why i cant change my resolution to something lower in fullscreen?
im currently playing in 4k but my fps is sadly way too low so im trying to reduce the resolution so its playable but it wont let me change it
That might be a bug, you can change it in windowed mode
i can only change it in windowed mode but its not fullscreen whenever i change it to something lower, i can change it on windowed fullscreen but nothing changes
Maybe change the resolution of your monitor in the windows display settings? It’s an annoying fix but could work
And make sure to bug report it, I saw someone else complaining of the same thing last week so it’s definitely an issue
@old notch whats ur fps on 4k ? and on what cpu gpu combo if its ok to ask
fps is 35 on average while settings are set to medium and dlss is on performance (changing to low doesnt change fps weirdly enough) and my specs are 3070ti - AMD ryzen 9 5900x
i see yeah that kinda makes sense tbh on 4k but indeed super low 35 fps barely playable
usually with other late gen games i can just play on high or medium settings but its rly just on ashes that i barely get fps, i had this like 8 months ago aswell
3070ti @ 4k is an interesting choice
i gey it but indeed 3070 ti is really not meant for 4k , and remember ashes is in alpha , u dont play other alpha games put there , what im saying ofc aoc is not fully optimized yet and needs a lot of work
<@&542059693779058748> hello how do i get alpha two role?
yeah so i did i clicked through every link, connected and i still dont have it
i wouldnt be mentioning if i havent already
Reconnect using a different browser/incognito mode if it didnt work ~ this workaround usually fixes it for people
anyone crashing all the time ? like 30-40 times per day crash and shuts down the game , did not have this even with all the issues before
thanks
How to obtain apprentice lumberjack bag?
First login ever and I seem to be stuck in the map geometry. Is there a /stuck or similar command to force a reposition?
There should be an unstuck option in the escape menu
Thank you. I checked there and somehow my brain decided to skip right over it.
All good! You may be able to type /unstuck also but not sure
There also a cooldown on the command now but I also don’t know what it is lol
Why mobs have a pvp flag now?
its a bug you can /bug report it in game
Ok thx
is this open 24/7 now instead of only weekends?
nope
weekends only was months ago its now 5 days a week with 2 days downtime
24/7 is some time aug
appreciate the info
Can someone explain how does Dex and Wisom exactly works?
- Does dex increas attack speed (speed of combo)?
- Does it impact physical cast times?
- Does Wisdom increase magical weapon attack speed (magical weapon combo speed)?
- Does dexterity increase attack speed of magical weapon?
Please, answer only if you know the actuall answer 😅
How long does it take to get a faster mount? The early game would be like 300% more enjoyable if my mount was like 30% faster.
Tbh, if you do the surplus coins route you should have enough to buy a mount these days
you can:
- buy a cat or a wolf off a market in a town.
- Farm a cat or wolf carcass (Pet them to death) and try and make your own
- Ask your guild if they have a mount person and ask to buy one
gather some mats, sell them, make money. can also sell your glint early on.
How do we get access to message in chat channels? I left disc and re joined but now I can't access like I did previously.
NVM just had to disconnect disc and reconnect through AOC site.
Omg your still here hey again Lex.
Also question, how do you enable yourself to heal your allies i lawless zones??
if you find a potential exploit and have video of being able to reproduce it..who can i send it to?
https://support.ashesofcreation.com/hc/en-us/requests/new or message a CM
Please report in-game via /bug and mark it as an exploit. You can also send a ticket to support with the video. ❤️

thank you. I did report with /bug ingame...but wanted to submit the video regardless
will do that shortly
submitted...thank you
how do i fix this glitch when trying to create my character?
It’s not fixable at the moment - you can write a bug report here for that
The trees mature, as opposed to spawning in at a specific maturity and staying that way. 🍻
Are there any economic changes in store for us? Crafting requires an inadequate amount of resources, there are no caravans, and softcap is achieved by uncommon stuff
Definitely - the next patch 0.11 is supposed to focus on artisan changes
It’s also safe to assume that literally everything you see and interact with will be changed due to how early we are in alpha testing still 👍
After purchasing Voyager package, cant see the Get Launcher button, still showing me "Join the Alpha", what am I missing?
I haven't played the game for about a month and I got banned for exploiting? What the hell? How is it possible to not play and still get banned? wtf?
I understand that perfectly well, I'm just asking if there is any new information about it. Because I saw the phrase “there will be changes in the current situation”, but no specifics
wtf Intrepid Studios ?????
Maybe you exploited last month

(Post this in #alpha-two-general

does anyone know how dot damage is calculated? is it based of the hit that creates the dot or is it based of stats?
is G'Lympes NPC bugged?
Hey everyone! I'm a level 16.5 solo player mage. So far, I've done very little grinding — I've mostly leveled up by exploring, doing quests, and gathering. My gear is full but low quality. Can you recommend a good grind spot to farm level 10 gear? Should I stick around Highwaymen Hills? The drops there seem pretty decent.
Switch to steel bloom at lvl 17-18 ish

More improvements to the character creator will continue to come as we progress through Alpha and Beta 😄
how do i uninstall the game?
genuinely, you have to log in to uninstall but i dont have access anymore
You can uninstall from "add or remove programs' in your system settings 🙂
you cant, its not there
only the launcher
Where do you find G'Lympes Elite Monster NPC Mob?
You can also manually delete the game folders once the launcher is gone
Lol
Reinstall windows 😄
i did recently thats why its annoying xD
uninstalling from add or remove does nothing btw
i can still run the launcher from its files hahah
ok PSA theres an uninstaller in the files which uninstalls everything! @grave harbor
can be run seperately
anyone know which node vendor has mage cloak
Is Glop right? Shouldn't the players make the choices of their node?
Can anyone tell me how to place wheels on my caravan? I tried the same method I used for my carriage, and chassis, but it isn't taking the wheels for whatever reason.
There's already a plan on what gets upgraded in what node so that we can have all stations upgraded.
So yes, he was right and you all have taken away the ability for players to choose what happens in their node and we are all slave labor for this plan. OK he has my vote now.
You never had it. The mayor decides what gets built next in the node through use of his mandate points (intended system) if you don't like what your individual mayor makes as a decision, then you remove them (intended friction point), or if enough people decide to not give the resources to finish the project, they "vote" that way.
It's all good and well to think that way but if every node is building the same stations because they want that then there's going to be 10 of the same station and zero of the others.
Pretty please take this conversation over to #alpha-two-general or #alpha-two-shol-us; we try to keep this space oriented towards questions rather than discussion. 
why is my login stuck in a loading shaders loop
Isn’t this Alpha Footage that this mobile game is ripping off saying it’s their mobile game? Lol

To someone that already owns a ship - can ships transport cargo like caravan does?
Yes
That's Throne and Liberty
Is there a minimum level to buy storage crates? im level 9 and cant see the option to buy crates at the crate peddler in Joeva
another one, to be specific - ships implemented now in the alpha can do that? what's the cargo size?
believe it goes off of the caravans cargo size, thats how ppl bring cargo from the mainland to tropics
you know that i am talking about ships, not rafts? what determines ship size cargo?
Minimum and recommended computer specifications for Alpha-2.
Minimum Specs - 1080p
Processor: Intel i5 8400 | AMD Ryzen 5 2600
Memory: 12GB
Graphics: NVIDIA GTX 1070 or equivalent
DirectX: Version 12
Network: Broadband Internet connection
Storage: 100GB** Internal SATA/M.2 SSD Storage
Windows 10/11
Recommend Specs - 1440p
Processor: Intel i7 8700...
Question on sys req, will it increase as we progress through dev phases and eventually release? Current req looks low enough that it will run on most pc. So, just wondering if that will be the case in future as well.
The best current answer for this is from a response about storage size on forums. So basically, yes. Things will change and probably increase over time.
Guess again.
how much time the restart usually takes
Couple of minutes normally.
kk ty
@whole harbor it's up btw.
my launcher asks me to login then select install path then it wont install just sits there with login button like i never clicked it
Damnit. I’m playing too many games. You’re right 🤣
I hope this is the right channel to ask, AOC seems to commit about 27 GB of RAM while mostly using between 5-10 (at most), is there a reason for that and is the 27 GB a realistic number to hit under some cases?
It will use as much as it can but there's also several memory leaks
changing from borderless windowed to windowed (visually its exactly the same) got my RAM usage from 20+GB to 5-8
i didnt bother to verify if thats actually the setting causing that though so your mileage may vary
so you didn't even restart the game, just changed that setting?
i didnt pay too close attention. i just at some point swapped to windowed cause i had a different issue with my gpu and eventually noticed that the game was running on 5gb ram now
theres a slight possibility that it was a different graphic setting but i dont really see how those would affect RAM usage
i dont really see it on the windowed/borderless thing either but its what makes the most sense to me
yeah but if you restart the game then the memory leaks go away, that's why I was asking.
can u explain on this
Restarting the game flushes the memory
ah u mean every half an hour or something ok i get it
yeah, basically.
certain bugs prevent the game from freeing up allocated memory, and it adds up over time.
by restarting the game you free up ALL memory used by the process, so you can start from 0.
some people have to restart it every 30m-1h because they run out of memory quickly.
i see so i need to keep track of that and see for my pc and how it works
maybe that explains why i get crashes every 5-10 min LUL
ty guys
can someone explain to me why an uncommon xp scroll gives the same xp as a rare one? like 2% for both... duh fauq
probably a bug
definitely /bug report it 
might be completely unrelated unfortunately.
unless you have 16GB memory I doubt it would fill up so quickly.
although there might be situations where it can
US East is pretty close.
they want us all on 1 server for stress testing before Phase 3
august 4 eu realm 🙂
hey what was the old arrowstorm before the nerf? 🙂
i see people talking about how good it was with shortbow and how it was changed
So when are we gonna get access to the merged server again so we can go back to playing our characters
Merged server is dead and gone
can clercis do good dps?
I def did
There isn't an NDA on Alpha 2 right? Streaming is okay?
are servers down?
did they say how l0ong for?

No NDA on Alpha 2. There is a visual NDA on PTR I believe.
I didn't even know there was a PTR for Alpha 2.
Sadge, i just started and servers go down haha
I would do it everytime you notice the game being too laggy or something changes from your initial plays [ignore the obvious high traffic area being slightly laggy for sure]
yes i get it maybe should try that ty
very new and elarning but how do you get access to recuipes for crafting is it jsut quests and drops?
Seems like it
@idle siren can we do another wipe before august and try without monster/boss item drops? I would love to see how the game plays out when people actually need to buff out nodes and professions in order to efficiently level up and empower their characters. The golden path right now renders the professions pretty obsolete.
Grinding to max level in novice gear should be such a slog that it is more efficient to stop at some point, spend time on professions, nodes, get gear and THEN continue grinding. That being said, since max level is 25 at the moment, it is easier to grind it in BIS novice (sanctus) gear.
Bosses/monsters should still drop some form of crafting mats, so there is still good reason to fight over them (which is hella fun). Also would be nice to see some more mini purple regions in each node with some high value mats or something worth fighting over so that there are some good local PVP spots sprinkled around the map. It sucks to have to spend 30m (or more) just to get a group to travel the map to a purple region to "look for" PVP.
thanks @summer lynx I guess im not the only one that feels this way
but ppl do xp to amx 25 in 10 days or so right soooo we dont want it to be in 4-5 days xd
? people were maxing the first weekend man
max in 2-3 days?
yes
damn ok thats crazy indeed
there are guilds with data miners that can see every item, quest, monster drop, everything as soon as patch drops
yeah im new in aoc but i already see some people dont treat this really as an alpha test
hardcore guilds are vs hardcore guilds, the game is just the place where it happens
alpha test or no
no its ok to be hardcore , pvp needs testing too
but mining or selling gold etc etc or buying gold its just crazy to me
He was saying different type of hardcore. Like across games ego an sh
Anyone know at what level a character can no longer grab the dropped mounts (bonestrider and daystrider) from the named mobs (Honored Sacrifice and The Protector)? They’re 3 ⭐️ level 15 named.
its because they are in here for the competition, to be better than others by any means available. ego driven
some guilds will kick users if they arent a certain level or character power by a certain date or time
@pearl ivy i see well , while i dont like that its fine if they wanna do it that way but minig infos and shi is wild xd
its where Ashes Codex gets info from... not Intrepid giving it, but data miners sharing with community
they dont share everything though, they keep some secrets
Until when is the 3rd wave of the alpha two?
Until it's ready to transition to the Betas. There's no set time for it. Steven said that it would be AT LEAST a year, meaning likely much longer
is there only 1 realm now? been having a break.
Yep, everyone in one realm until Aug 4th
thanks for the info, it's US so i hope ping is fine
Most people I've seen have been saying it's fine or at least not too bad. An adjustment if anything
How often does zinc drop from basalt? 1%-3%? Have any figures been published here? What about other types of stones? Do they also have the potential to drop metal, and if so, which one?
a lvl 24 killed my lvl 17 char, and 1 min later, his debuff was gone, and he didnt die... so does killing players, on not pvp ground and non marked players not get punished at all?
Did you see his name turn red from killing you? You weren’t involved in any PvP forcing events such as a caravan? There are also zones around the map that are open to PvP at all times.
i didnt check if his name turned red to be honest... but location sure was pve, no events, the only thing that i did (try) was attacking back... without success, obviously...
so i was farming, he flagged himself for pvp, attacked me, i attacked back, i died, and 1min late,r when i rode back from nearest ember, he was white, non marked...normally it should last, right?
Due to you attacking back, you will have both been purple(combatants) which means there is no Corruption punishment for the survivor because it was "consensual" pvp and they will loose the purple tag of PvP in 90 seconds. Going back to being a non-combatant/green and no punishments.
If you did not fight back and they killed you, they would have been killing a non-combatant and they would have turned red/Corrupted.
so fighting back did not only punish me, but rewarded him, the bullie?` well thats a crappy system... but thank you very much for the info!
If you fought back and went purple you would have went into less XP debt and dropped less materials compared to if you hadn't have fought back
well, thats even more concerning...
so the bullies will get away way easier...
but thanks anyway.

The point is
If you don't fight back, you lose more, but the killer goes corrupted
If you fight back, you lose less, but it's a consensual PvP fight so the killer doesn't go corrupted
So you decide whether you want to fuck over the attacker by not fighting back, leading to them going corrupted, or if you fight back to maybe win, or lose less stuff if you die
its not bully its the game and how it is , what im saying tis part of the game , now if u attack back and u lose u then lose less xp and less meterial drops, its not about him but about saving ur own progress as much as possible
questions / lf opinions cz im kinda new : i ahve the idea of mixing medium and heavy armro sets like 5 medium pieces and 3 heavy , is that a good or a bad idea?
Question, is this going to be fixed!! Im not the only one in my guild this is happening too.
When I log in, I can reach character creation. Once I select my character and press play. I usually get a blackscreen for a few min, crashes after.
This has been happening since the big patch last week, after a few tries I usually manage to log in but today have tried multiple times and cannot log in.
Guess im not playing for now.
Hey MistyMoon, we've been actively trying to tackle issues with the black screen crash between the character lobby and logging into the game, that's impacting some testers
If you continue to have more crashes, here are things you can do
- **"Enable GPU Crash Debugging" **- This will take up more room on your PC, but we'll get better info when you crash. Info on how to do this in the launcher here: https://support.ashesofcreation.com/hc/en-us/articles/4402810340627-How-to-use-the-Intrepid-Launcher-Alpha-Two-Testing
- **Send game logs to Support. ** Game log files will have info on crashes. Our Support team can take a look at these. Info on how to do this here: https://support.ashesofcreation.com/hc/en-us/articles/32162037612435-How-do-I-submit-game-logs-and-diagnostic-files
For those of you on Linux... I successfully launch the game and make a character. However when clicking play after character creation my PC just is a black screen.. No cursor or sound. Any advice?
Happening to some Windows users as well (Roshen above you is speaking about it), but here's a general Linux thread (GL)
https://forums.ashesofcreation.com/discussion/62094/linux-tips-tweaks-and-troubleshooting-thread
im on windows it happened to me for like 2 times the 3rd time i close the game and open it worked so dunno , but i do get crashes all the time so i dont think its user issue more like client issue , best bet w8 for them to sort it out
You have to be a citizen of the node
Anyone has experience the bug where you constantly stop running?
not really but currently im getting crashes every 5 min so hard to play
My friend left to download the game for a day and he came back to error that he was disconnected, when he launched the launcher it starts from the beginning, but the folder is like 112 GB
Anyone know anything about this?
is someone out of party helping you tank/kill mobs/heal in PvE allowed?
Can’t imagine why it wouldn’t be
i'm just new to mmos and haven't encountered this before and want to be sure 🙂
After there's an update, no matter how small, I have to wait quite a while for my launcher to finish updating. So I think is normal.
no it seemed like it was redownloading the game
If Im a Bard and use a spellsword - does my auto atk damage do magic dmg?
Ironic now can't even load up the login menu .. seems like it's getting worse by the hour. Also seems to be happening to anyone outside of America.. internationally
Im OCE and im in with no probs
Why does your game take 30 minutes to launch and longer to even play? I'm getting more playtime in black screens than I have staring at a TV turned off. I know it's an alpha, but we're trying to play the alpha and we can't.... Is there any plans to actually optimize the game for actual use during the alpha? My CPU memory is at 95+ all from this game. It's tanking my PC to sit and stare at black screens... This was a waste of my two days off.
i mean its kinda bad to pay all that money and cant even get in to test aswell. 🤔
Yes
if they are lvl 15 you can get them to drop up until lvl 24, once 25 no more drop
Hi all, not sure where to go with this: I'm trying to login to my Ashes of Creation account on the Intrepid's website to get the Alpha2 bundle - but it keeps looping me back to the pop up asking me to verify in email first... even after clicking the link they send me to said email... How to fix this?

Can I wear Cloaks from other nodes?
I also ahve black screen when i try to logg in and there is an exclamation mark on the play icon if i place my cursor on it it says : Unable to play, waiting for the server...
then black screen appears
Just a thought to fix the crafting loop. Make all finished item drops broken in such a way so they require a crafter of the relevant skill and level.
as of rn; you can only equip cloak from the node you are a citizen from, the workaround that people use is they become citizen of the node they want the cloak from, equip it and never unequip it again, after that as long as you keep it equipped the cloak stay on you no matter your citizenship

Anyone know if there will be gear sets/ swappable gear mechanic in game later?
Yes, gear sets are a planned thing. Actually part of design, they want you to have different sets for different situations.
gotcha ty
weapon mastery of your offhand weapon matter much?
i heard something about synergistic proccing?
ppl any news about when they fix option to turn off screenshake?
Offhand weapons give you their stats but you don’t get to use the weapon skill tree from a weapon unless you have it out
thank you!
it doesnt work ? 😮
didnt even notice
This used to be a very strong bug but they fixed it already 😉 you could proc like every status affect possible just by auto attacking
what about penetration in pve? and does giving mobs -25% crit avoidance effectively give you +25% crit?
yea on my fighter it's unrealistic to farm with shaking for 30 minutes and I feel sick
weird im playing fighter and i dont have this issue cz i thought shaking was off for me lol , need to take a look into it again
Good afternoon, has anyone encountered this issue? The game takes a very long time to load, usually getting stuck at 100% for a while.
Here are my PC specs:
Ryzen 7 9800X3D
Kingston Fury Beast DDR5 6000MHz EXPO 32 GB
RTX 3090
At 100% it also says in the text "Holding Loadingscreen for [x] seconds"
Its common, i also am waiting at 100% for sometimes 10seconds, with similar specs
depending on what "very long" means
im getting crashes after being 1 min in game 😄 unplayable dunno if anyone else has same issue ?
repair / reinstall / lowered settings nothing changes
I usually try to be in a game for more than 1 minute and it works. I don't know what to tell you.
You probably need to look help with support
Anyone know which town citizen vendor sells bows and medium amour
bows is new aela
Ty
try disabling your anti virus or make an exception for Ashes. My guess would be that thats it
did it i tried , crashex are very random , one time i play for 20 min other time i play only 1 minute, should prolly try support indeed
does the website still have maintenance? It’s telling me to reset my password and when I go into send email for reset it says “we had a problem sending the email, please try again later” after an hour
can u actually use these preorder pack skins RN in game?
Steven said they are planning to have most of them ready for Phase 3.
None of them are in game right now.
do we know for what mount will Fox of the Pyre skin apply?

#read-me-first step 3 @twin barn
is there a gearing guide for new players?
Are you looking for VC perms in our Alpha Two section? If so, check out #read-me-first and connect your account to gain access.
Hi there! While we don’t have official guides at this time, we’re fortunate to have a passionate community of content creators who regularly share videos, walkthroughs, and helpful tips for Ashes of Creation. We recommend checking YouTube, Reddit, and our Community Forums for player-made guides, as well as following your favorite creators who are covering Alpha Two content. 😊
Not yet, but we're working on getting them functional in game. 
If you drop a report in #1365478519441719377, that would be fantastic! You can also contact CS, who will work to troubleshoot with you. If you are close to the min specs for the game, sometimes you can run into things like frequent crashes.
are there any more packs planned for people that want to support ashes progress?
i mena pack is active stil no ?
if I go to the shop on the site, it's empty
nah its high end pc beyond maximum specs , ty will look into reporting it with some more infos

i tried killed him again still nothing
they are i updated them 3 days ago
@grave harbor i was doing fine and playing normally before an update a week ago or so
This may be a silly question but this doesn’t mean the servers are going down from may 28th until August right?
a
and have 1 more question
scorpion broodlink hunt is the item drop chance disabled?
i dont log in game....
name is LaughingCoffin
create new character 1 level. thats log in game...
@grave harbor
@junior ember
Servers are down for two days and up for 5 until August 4 - this testing session has been extended twice now
Thanks a lot!
most likely it means that it will be down 28 & 29 and be up for the next cycle then
we did not go down in our usual schedule, so we got the extension, but commonly that means it goes down and then it pops back up on the usual time (for EU its Thursdays 19:00 CET or so)
No idea what changed but I cannot keep the game up for more than 5-10 min. I have reinstalled everything.
Anybody got any tips for bugged carvans? Just trying my first one. When I spawned the ship it appeared with the rudder in a rock. Now I cannot access it anymore
Can you share details of your report in #1365478519441719377 ?
You'll want to also make sure that all of your drivers are up to date, that has been causing some folks to crash quite a bit recently
i'm trying to do this comission quest called recover stolen supplies and it's supposed to be in highwayman hills but i cannot find anything
Yes I started a new thread. My drivers are fully updated but I’m gonna try going back to April nvidia drivers because this isn’t just an issue with one game of mine.
Let us know if it works?
if nobody replied you gotta do a lot of wiggling around and slight adjustments it will fix
I am stuck in a bridge near Seph and can not unstuck, maneuver out, relog out or any other trick. I am good an stuck. I submitted a bug report. How do I get out?
Been stuck for 15 minutes now and am starting to become the bridge
Logout, stay out for 15 mins or more and login again. This sometimes resolves being stuck.
Ok, will try
That worked. I was mounted and that's what was keeping me from using the unstuck. When I logged in after 15 minutes, my mount was dismissed and I was able to use the unstuck feature. Thanks for the help!
are there any offical links where I can apply as a content creator? I know there was a round not long ago - just wondering if anything has since emerged. To note I did email the team a few months ago but never heard back 😦
thank you for that logout for 15 min fix. I was stuck and thought my character was doomed until an admin can punt me out of the spot lol
They hired someone ages ago who has been said at least twice to be working on going through the backlog of applications and implementing Intrepids plans for official content creators and the other things related to it. There has been no update as to their progress, and since literally thousands of people who think that a Reddit comment one time in 2012 means they created content and are entitled to whatever benefits would come from that title, they have a huge workload to go through.
sheesh. guess ill justr wait and keep doing my thing 😛
thanks for getting back to me @ruby swift

Good day, is there any way to change the size or color of the cursor in the game? It’s quite small and yellow, so it’s hard to see.
Also, is it possible to change the color of the AOE ability field?
Hey everyone ^_^
I have a few questions...
I was interested in this game since like 4 years ago and I've been checking it's development every now and then.
Idk if these questions are asked often, I was looking through FAQ and Reddit but I couldn't get any concrete answers.
- Is there a server that doesn't get wiped? If no, how often do servers wipe?
- I know this game has a massive time sink so for someone that doesn't play a lot, maybe a few hours in the evening every day, can I still progress and help the development even though I don't test all the features
- I am a very casual player and I mostly like doing crafting, gathering and anything chill and laid back. Would I still be a good game tester ? Or is this just not for me right now and I should maybe wait for the release.
I do really want to contribute to this game's development but I am just worried that I may be not a good person for it, are most people here hardcore MMORPG players ? Or are there also some casual players just chilling in game?
Sorry if these questions are often asked, I just didn't get my answers from other sources.
Thanks to anyone who can answer either or all of these questions. (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)
currently i would not say this testing is casual friendly and there will be a fresh start for phase 3 in aug. in general i would suggest if you are on the fence to wait for beta at least if not release
can they play yes will it be fun most i know says not very much most of the fun is in the pvp
The game crashes every 15–30 minutes — is there any solution to this issue?
Hello,
I would like to request a return, but it is asking me for the order number. Where can I find it?
Can any bards out there explain the differences between wand and shortbow. Not sure if it’s feels over reals, but it seems like the shortbow hits harder. For context I’m mostly fighting 3 star mobs, so the fights are extended. I also hear book is endgame, but not many switch to it until they get the BiS version. I’m lvl 18, my wand is lvl 22. Thanks!
is there a way to mute the siege notifications? It pops up on my screen every 60 seconds and is annoying AF
I'm curious for more details on the high priest skills and stuff - potential early joiner 🙂
There isnt alot of detail about secondary types since they are not out yet.
whens the wipe? i dont wanna play for it to wipe soon lol
Not yet, but if you put in a post here others can comment and Intrepid will see it. It shouldn be so frequent for sure, that is annoying.
https://discord.com/channels/256164085366915072/1365478519441719377
Nothing is confirmed, but it is likely at min, a fresh start server for Aug 4.
Ok do you need a rare mystic lens to restore map . Or just rare ink and the rare map
Restore a rare map
- wipe is coming 4th of august as we know with eu servers going back live
- ofc u can do tjay casually
- this is hard question to answer , for me i bought into the game cz i felt there doing and really good job and wanted to suplort them , plus i get to play casually anf enjpy the world of verra.
many wipes will happen going forward
Ty all for answering, I am still thinking but I am leaning towards just buying the key, even though I may not play much at first, at least I will support the project. ૮꒰ ˶• ༝ •˶꒱ა ♡
same i just bought it 😄
Yep cya in Verra ^_^

hi! any know how i can repair this error: " An unexpected Error has occured while attempting to authenticate with Intrepid Cloud Services. Please try again later".
What's wrong with the realm that you are referring to?
@tight gale you know why we have this error??? " An unexpected Error has occured while attempting to authenticate with Intrepid Cloud Services. Please try again later".
This error occurs when your connection to the login servers is interrupted.
- Please ensure that your internet is working properly and if you have any antivirus or security software, that software is configured to allow the Launcher access to the internet
- The login process uses the Edge, which is built in to Windows. If you have uninstalled Edge or used any 3rd party software to remove Windows features, you will need to fix those issues before you will be able to sign in.
@tight gale I was playing a little while ago without any problems, I don't understand it.

Probably a question that have been asked multiple time before but I can't find any similar threads.
Is the only way to pass items from between characters from the same account is via a third party toon?
Or is there a possibility through a owned house or something like that?
I just got the game, made my character, and when I hit play I get a black screen for a couple minutes and can still hear the music, then the loading screen flashes and the game crashes. any ideas?
Uno questionne - strange for me, my game now runs smooth after i got a new pc, but every time it stutters ? like every 5-6 secs i have a small freeze, and during that freeze, GPU load drops to 0 and CPU increases to 100% - is that normal ?
Is there anyway to check Mayorial Comissions of Nodes before joining to see which node may have some repeatable ones running?
whats odd to me is my system memory is running at 20k for this game yet its only using 14g like maybe 10% of my Vram and it likes to keep my cpu at like 35%
is Shol the only server atm? for some reason its the only one i can see
Yes.
They are gathering stress test data to help improve their server workers (or something like that)
Does node destruction mechanics exist yet? If New Aela loses the siege are warehouse material stores lootable for a couple days like the wiki implies follows node destruction? I'm assuming not yet but wanted to confirm

just a quick question
does anyone else or has anyone else gotten the crash to desktop with the unreal engin crash report
AOC_win64_shipping
Kernel32
rundll
?
Yes, people have. Click the button that sends it to Unreal and Intrepid will get a notice of the logs too.
ok thanks. i have sent 30 of them crash reports off. had the game 12 hours. 30 crashes now im even doing a memory test that will take a few hours as all the otther steps online havent worked. even put graphics to low on a 4090 still get the crash. sometimes one after the other. other times i can play for 40 min ish
any GMs on that could take a look at what im going through rigght now, bug has happened several times today and it'd be useful for u guys to see it?
It is 730ish on a Sat night for them. GMs at this point are just devs that happen to be in the prod client working. While they have some on call to be sure for emergencies, your chances of getting one in game right now is probably minimal at best.
Updating bios has worked for some. Others recommended a mix of settings, not just all low, all medium or all high. The game is in no way optimized for the various setups people are trying to run, so you gotta play with the settings and such. Stay at it. Literally thousands of other people have gotten it to run and hundreds to thousands are playing right now. Persistence in a testing environment is key.
understood
Is there a way to increase chat Font size?
submitted a bug report each time so they'll get to it in their own time :))
If there isn't currently in the options, there eventually will be.
Thanks, hopefully it comes soon. Reading it really hurts my eyes. I'm old and blind though so not all their fault lol
They have various UI optimizations for a host of different ailments people may suffer from planned. Just takes time.
I just upgraded my PC and I am getting the same issue.
Just upgraded my PC.
I used to have an i7-7700K processor, Asus A170-A motherboard, and 32GB of DDR4 Ram.
I just upgrade to an i9-12900K processor, Asus Z790 Motherboard, and 32GB of DDR5 Ram, and the game will not work/load. I go to the character selection screen, hit PLAY and I just get a black screen until the game just crashes.
Anyone have a fix or anything of the sort? I am really getting to my wits end.
There's no fix. Devs didn't make a playable alpha and charged ppl $100 to chug their PCs.

later down the road nodes with stage of wilderness will be invisible to the map as at the beggining of the development of the game was said? Anybody knows? So the players don't know where exactly have nodes on the map?
Nodes and their type and position are fixed regardless of level. You will always be able to see the "cork"
If one is blasted back to zero in a siege loss, it will appear (if it gets advanced again) in exactly the same spot. This is a change from earlier plans that they wanted to have a few locations per "node zone" that would be determined by the world manager. Apparently it was too complex of a step to throw onto their world manager. Similar how nodes no longer delevel from a siege loss, but are blasted back to zero, because to the down ballot impact on vassalization and other factors.
What porf do we need to make bags?
It depends
want to make apprentice mining bags
Look the one you want up on Ashescodex.com
Easiest option

There are a several different ones for it that provide different stats
Spent the last hour restarting my pc, freeing up memory using 3rd party programs, ending any process that takes even a sliver of memory and I still keep crashing at launch after character select, anybody having similair issues as of the latest update?
Why does it take 8 weeping willow wood to create a rooting ball that will only generate 5 weeping willow wood? Let alone the need for droppings of the same rarity.
This results in -3 wood per rooting ball so I doubt that was the intention
Someone had this type of problems?

what error do you have?
No error
just black screen > exits program to desktop
sometimes i get an error saying out of video memory
I have a 3070
i ve seen lots of ppl complining about this
What are the different colors for peoples names.. Notice some are blue and some are white
Yeah I mean it just gets progressively worse after every patch
blue: the same citizen. white: just a player (I think) lol
if you have a good connection, I would recommend uninstalling the game and just do a clean install
Awww, thank you
also, maybe send them some logs
I feel like this starts to look like an issue with the nvidia gpus
Where to find a hunter? I have wolf carcass
hmmm , im lvl 7 with no equipment? Am I suppose to have it through quests or i have to craft it myself?
you can buy some starter gear from shops or get them from drops (although its quite rare to get)
crafting it is gonna be a pain lol
ok ok
might be worth to look into the Surplus Equipment Tokens btw, they are rewarded by some quests
https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Surplus_Equipment_Token is the community wiki link

You can do the “find 6 parcels” quest out of lionhold. They are sparkely orange star piles along the road to any main town. Turn in is to a dude in front of a tent usually outside of towns a bit.

Look up Ritchie SH in YouTube. He has a video on the Surplus Coins that will help you get a bunch and gear/weapons. highly recommend
Whats a good resource to learn builds? I was looking at one on a site i've never heard of called mettabattle. Are those accurate?
Ashes codex has some. Icy veins as well. But keep in mind everything changes. All the time.
Yeah, I had assumed as such. With it being alpha still and all. Just wanted a good baseline to compare between.
Hello everyone, I heard that you can somehow take things apart into their components, is this true or not? If so, how do you do it?
I have problems, launcher says i need 98 gb memory, but i have 150...
what is the problem? i'm trying to reinstall 5 time in araw
Make sure to get everything when you uninstall. Use this as a guide. Realize that Intrepid has said that 100gb memory is the minimum, but it is higher than that during install. During the install process a bunch of processes are unpacked in memory, so it can use a larger, variable amount. If it sees that it doesn't have enough for that process it either hangs or aborts. You are not the first person to have the "But I have enough, just barely, so it should work!" experience. Give it another shot, if that doesn't work, then upgrade your SSD, or it that is not an option, then request a refund. Good luck. https://support.ashesofcreation.com/hc/en-us/articles/4402749120787-How-to-uninstall-and-remove-all-files-for-Ashes-of-Creation-Alpha
uhm help?!
Grapical glitches in the CC are not a new thing. Unless it impacts your ability to get into the game, just report it and move on.
okay ty
I bought a portable ssd 250gig off Amazon for 30 bucks
They recommend an internal SSD, an external and you are going to get communication errors with them.
Please where an who do I see to promote stonemasonry
Halcyon I think
There should be a guy where the Stonework building is @lapis willow
Thanks
@silk topaz He needs more wiggle.
Yeah I never used it. Wound up getting a new pc
i have 160+ free space, sadly idk whats problem
trying to reinstall 6th time XD
this time it looks better, maybe problem will disappere
Well, it is the weekend. You can file a CS ticket, but CS only works M-F west coast US business hours. They are just going to tell you the same. But make sure to give them all the details on your system and maybe you get lucky. But this is going to be a continuing issue for you going forward. It is going to get worse, not better.
This game is definitely stimulating the economy
Oh, and it is a holiday weekend in the US
I get it to work sometimes 15 minutes other times maybe 40 minutes and sometimes it’s 2-3 crashes in a row. Is there a section on this discord that people have posted what settings or solutions worked for them?
I would check the #1365478519441719377 and do a search on forums for "crashes" "out of memory" "black screen" and so on, if you want more info on what others have found works for them.
Will check on here in that section. Nothing else on line tried all them steps on line. Thank you
I upgraded my PC this week and I am getting the same error. Try to load up the game, go to the character screen, hit play, and I just get a black screen until the game crashes
....
Bought alpha key 3 days ago, tried everything you said. It's a known issue. I made a ticket, got a response, tried everything they said, nothing worked.
wtf
But i found the solution : a refund
Does this really have to pop up every minute for the next 12 hours?
Yep, that will work too. Realize that takes a couple days to process also. Hopefully by the time Ashes does release they have the optimizations in place that make it playable for you.
Why can't it start like an hour before?
It is like anything else new Intrepid tries. It is a setting they will fix or play with once they notice it is there. The point of that is to give people notice (granted, not so often) because sieges change the world and are important. They would rather people know, than say "I never knew a siege was incoming, I lost all my stuff cause I was offline, and now I am sad. I want to leave!"
Every 30 minutes would be fine all so
it looks like launcher try to install 2 games instead of 1
i have 170gb free on disc, it still writes *i need 90gb after 100% upload
wtf
Yep, not the first person to have that happen to them. File a ticket, maybe they can help. Or maybe they can't. This channel is just people who play the game trying to help others.
@analog oasis I upgraded my PC this past week (cpu/motherboard/ram) and I can’t run the game at all
Sorry
-_-
Sadly af
me trying to join friends for 11 hours...
My pc is not that bad, we played project TL and i had no problems
same in bdo, horza5, NW
thats why i think problem in launcher, not in computer
@analog oasis yeah I had no problem launching/playing the game before I upgraded.
Now that I upgraded, the game will not launch, and just goes to a black screen and crashes
I had this problem when game wasnt on ssd
im trying to upload it on ssd
now i cant
-_-
Yep, the game wont work on HDD, there is not enough transfer rate to Intrepid's servers. You get timed out. The game requires an internal SSD. Anytime you are marginal with a testing product, you are going to run into issues. It sucks, but it is what it is. Now if EVERYONE could not get into the game, then they would have an issue on their side. If a few fallen soldiers are sacrificed along the way? Well, you are a good data point.
Actually players here want to find help, they dont want to be solders-testers for 100$
Hello, I'm thinking of buying the alpha access to test the game right now, but I'm still on the fence. Is there a possibility to refund?
I think there is a 90 day refund policy
But beware, they still can decide to not refund it, incase you want to play 200 hours in those 90 days and then refund it 😂
Thanks for the link
Nah, just wanted to have that "safty blanket"
if you are interested in helping the devs financially, bug hunting and player testing go for it but if you are expecting a well balanced game that has no bugs then dont even bother lol
How can I find water for fuel?
vendor
Now the game already take 140gb my storage
and asks about 90gb more
what is happening omb, i want to play.......
did you ever clear the install folder / deinstall the launcher in between trying?
Same to me, i deinstalled more Games 🫣
swear god, im not solo with this
Its been a while but helped to me, maybe it is worth a try
i have only windows and aoc on my C-disc
and it asks abbt 200+ gb
idk why
if folder is 90gb
Doh ><
i assume the installer needs some extra space to merge data / move installed files.. maybe it helps to defragment and optimize your drive due to not enough space in series being available?
im just thinking and working on assumptions tho
yep i think so
actually i have space for it
this penetrate my brain
only thing i can think of would be a fragmented drive so defragmenting it might work
hows your cpu doing? xD
18%
18-15%
i played mpvp in ThroneLib, like +-1000players at one time on mid-settings and had 40-60fps
computer can do this, i trust
Did you try repair?
I tried everything
is your disk actively writing / reading data? u can check in taskmanager > performance
repair, uninstall, reinstall, reinstall on D, on C, remove, clear disc
i did it from 6am - 8pm in my time
very weird...
Thats so f
i bet launcher has problems
there is a program to optimize and defragment drives, can try that i guess
dunno how its called in Cyrillic tho
but it seems like thius
dfrgui.exe
i bet boys this try maybe i can get in
last tries 70% file op was sending error
its me rn
try using win+r dfrgui to analyse and optimize the drive, might work.. its the only thing i can think of rn
its possible to have blocks of storage seperated by data and the installer expecting a single large block for file operations
thx, i did, maybe help
How can we change guild name?
Currently you can not change the guild names
I wanted add my country shortname at the our guild name
anyway to put a delay on the tool-tip descriptor when you hover or press spells/CA's?
not currently (this is a pet peeve of mine as well would be good to be able to change it to pop up in a spot you want or disable it)
Put feedback bout it in the #1365494991509782558 channel ❤️
<@&542059693779058748>
Sus
indeed
yeh or even just a 1 or 2 sec delay would be nice, so you can click spells while in battle without it popping up then can view no probs when out of combat
what the hell does this mean
i accidentally unbound my Ability Cancel key how can i rebind it back?
i NEED MOD
it's nowhere to be seen in settings
death in this game has 3 peneltys right? xp loss/ resource drop/ resorce delation ]\
yep. pretty much.
well that sucks big time wow
1 ok but 3 dam
groggy do you know why the list item is greyed out on market
you have to be lvl 10 to list items
thank you it could have just told me that in game been here a hour lol
Keep in mine this is a true alpha testing environment. Things are not complete, some quests dont work, sometimes mobs fly away?, or you get stuck in rocks, things crash.
yeah i get that
This whole weekend has been a waste of time for me. Trying to play, I get stuck in a combat situation performing the same skill Uber and Uber, unable to tab out or anything to cancel. I have to go to task manager. Cancel the client and restart it consistently happens. The quests do not update properly. To spell augmentations, and it
Weapon skills such as volatility, don't apply properly due to unsynchronized workers.
I was hoping for at least sometime to refine what I like to play. And simply unplayable
Probably a good place to put that feedback is here -=> https://discord.com/channels/256164085366915072/1365494991509782558
That way others can also comment, and its clear and easy for Intrepid to read and respond to
It really doesn't matter. I've put in multiple bug tickets. It's been more than three weeks, and it's gotten worse
It's just like the hacking I put in tickets on people hacking. They said they would check into things. Two months later, they start banning players that they covered
What's your question?
What's the deal with the stabilizing server? And synchronizing workers
Game is unplayable
Quite honestly, I'm appalled at the state. They leave the game in on a holiday weekend
They knew this was the issue, and you can see it because they decided to extend the playtime
Because the staff are on holiday, for the holiday weekend as you said 
So there's no one to tend to the servers atm
Server meshing is an ongoing project that is not complete. Please give your feedback in the feedback channel.
Simply, the observer status is unacceptable. And they knew the shape it was in which really angers me
This isn't the place to express your anger. This is a question and answers channel.
It is since they're doing a hide in peak.
I would like other people to understand what's going on. So this seems to be the appropriate
how do people get gear with out doing the surplus token quests? you dont get curency from quests and it seams the only way to get gear is to buy on the market? you cant sell on the market till lvl 10 so it seams you have to sell resourses to vendors for pennys till you are lvl 10 and even then you are doing this in starter clothes. just curious how people got some gear or cash to buy some
Simple answer, drops and vendor.
thank you. havent seen any gear drop. but will look for the vendor i was told they removed gear from vendors
Feel free to discuss it further in #alpha-two-general #alpha-two-artisan-chat etc etc.
Would highky recommend the tokens for ease of gearing up to then mke more money. You can technically buy all the gear for silver but ita not optimal. The quests give glint, and 'early game' selling glint is the only money making option
ok thanks havent seen a vendor that sells cleric gear for silver or any gear yet
how well does ashes run on linux ?
The general vendor near the auction house who is near the surplus token vendor does sell some gear but please doublecheck the value of getting something for surplus token vs silver, most low level starter gear doesnt typically have a lot of stats, BIS gear is legendary because an increase in rarity means more tertiary stats on the weapons or armor. Please get the surplus token gear, supplement it from the nearby vendor who sells for silver and get sanctus gear first. Then, once you hit 10-19 youll be SCROUNGING for any relevant lvl 10 or lvl 20 gear. Everyone is going to level, depending on pace and if theyre keeping alts at a specific lvl to farm drops but i digress, so because we assume lvl is 25 flat, the only differentiating factors are gear, and skill. Gear is SO important but do not fret over it too much at a relatively low level, pick up what you can but focus more on the gameplay and learning your class(es)
Also, if youve looked up builds, many are outdated and none apply to lower leveling, GEAR specifically, so go out f stuff up and heal ya bois and gals
Hey. I fell into a depression/hole in the ground outside of Shorefoot. I am stuck and can't get out! Using 'Unstuck' is also not working.
logout of the game and wait a minute or two then login and try unstuck again
Thx Lex will try that.
Will reinstalling the game wipe my keybinds and settings?
Don't know if this has been brought up before, but during character creation I can see the lights flashing around the character, anyone experienced this?
No longer stuck actually. Unstuck worked this time. Thanks.
Anybody have any fix for black screen/out of video memory error after character select screen? I tried : reinstalling, updating GPU driver, changing page file drive, exiting all programs other than ashes.. been happening for the past 2 days
I have a 3070 8GB vram
zero did you ever figure this out?
anyone know how to fix the problem with caravan with the item saying " Item currently Locked"
you cant delete the item
tulnar is scheduled for phase 3
fr?
Fr, but phase 3 lasts a long, long time
So saying something is Phase 3 is like saying "within the next few years"
oh wow nice!
I was at a party in church and i couldn't loot lots of mobs even it shines? why is that?
Why does the crate peddler not have any crates available for me? only crowbar
can any mod reset my quest progress? i bricked a questchain 😦
Any idea why I keep getting error 32?
I followed the Intrepid support document on how to remove all game files and my keybinds persisted through the reinstall process
Did they say anything about increasing harvesting or spawns in the last couple updates? I just feel like I’m getting way more copper and rubys now from granite and actually finding copper spawns
yes, they increased it last update #alpha-two-news message
hello everyone,
Why do we get character xp while gathering ressources?
It's really easy and fast to gain xp with just gathering and crafting.
Please remove this xp, it's really too easy to lvl up without any fight.
Fight = xp
Craft = craft xp
Thank you for the huge work you do, it's a really nice game.
Btw, do not increase copper/ruby/zinc... drop. It is really easy to get those.
Don't answer to the impatient players.
This game deserve real good players, not kids who just want everything in an instant.
^ has a financial investment in crafted goods
T_T I would die if they removed it, I mostly don't engage in combat if I don't have to and I spend most of my time gathering and crafting ( •̯́ ₃ •̯̀)
i understand but it's not logical... you don't fight and you earn xp. illogical.
i do not fight very often and it's really too easy to lvl up with crafting. The game loose it interest .
Just my opinion, it is too easy.
Or at least decrese 90% of xp gained
The intrepid launcher is not opening but shows up in task manager. I end proccess and try again but its still not opening, any fixes?
The games don't have to be challenging, just fun, not everything has to be optimezed for logic and efficiency.
For me it is challenging enough as it is T_T
But I am very casual
Did you try changing compatibility or running as admin ?
I'd recommend #1365494991509782558 and the forums if you haven't already spoken there.
can someone please advise how this works:
so I stack "echo" with every 5 autoattacks and then after casting any spell - it gets extra damage from this passive - so the creator of this wants you to cast a "massive nuke" skill every 4 times 5 autoattacks?
is there a dummy where I can test damage?
Hi guys! I have a problem launching the game. I've played for 2 weeks in a row- no problems whatsoever. Today I've launched the game and just drops me out after loading screen (can't see character screen). Any ideas?
yeah pls normalize more hardcore implements pls not snow whitefall bullshit
oh hell no. If they would do that, Im out. lol
chill out satan
ive heard various exploits and cheats have more or less devistated the economy right now. is that true?
yep
but the earlier they address this kind of stuff the better.
i'm glad that hackers attacked the game in this filler phase instead of waiting for Phase 3.
hopefully this will allow Intrepid to set up the appropriate defenses to at least catch the most obnoxious hacks like speed/teleport 
yeah true. definitely needs to have some priority on anti-cheat work. if only more games followed valorant's lead with kernal level injections 😦
Easy Anti Cheat is using kernel level
those are not fool proof either.
at the end of the day server-side detection is the best. (which they are trying to do right now) 
tried to upgrade my mining asked person to promote my mining and nothing happens?
You need to be level 10 to upgrade your certification to apprentice
level 10 in mining
@hollow crane
what does "We're extending this Alpha Two test to now go through Tuesday, May 27, 2025 10:00 PM " mean? are servers going to be down until Aug 4 after that?
is there some time when the summoner class should come out? or the dual class ?
No, servers are online until may 27th. Then they are offline for 2 days and after that online for 5 days again. That rythm will stay
tyty
We only know so far, that it is being worked on. 🙂
Technically they are still scheduled to come back up Thursday, as usual. We just get 1 fewer downtime day this week.
when does the server start today ? I am new :O),
I keep getting this, anyone know how to fix? https://i.imgur.com/fb6h3e3.png
Yes, not a fix, but just try it over and over again.
My longest was 6 times in a row. lol
My game starts > Black screen -> Beautifully painted picture with loading bar and then -> Back to desktop
i repair on the launcher, everyday this happens to me
do you guys get that 5min black screen after selecting character? then loading screen
When will we see new and different mobs? When i go anywhere im seeing same mobs like Pyro, Archer, Guardian.
It's same at everywhere. I was seeing bears at Winstead but when i go SB i see them again. Why all mob looks same? I know it's alpha and it's okay. I just want to be sure > is mobs will replace?
Yes, diff mobs will come with diff zones. There are diff ones in the desert and tropics for example
hi. Does anyone know about the problem when the game drops after selecting a character? I've already reinstalled it, and I'm meeting the minimum requirements, but the problem persists..(
update graphics drivers have fixed it for others
are there any cool Ashes of Creation themed wallpapers floating around?
need a degree in cs to work this damn launcher
Anyone have a 5090 that can say how the performance in the game is? 😇 in the planning on buying a new card very soon!
Will the pre order pack mount skins be obtainable by people who have not bought the packs? Considering you can get the Ebon Omen mount now which was a Voyager pre order pack from a few years back?
No, things like the Ebon Omen mount are only in-game as kind of "placeholders". They'll eventually be removed and be unobtainable unless you purchased the skins when they were sold
There may be similar looking things to what were sold, for example they sold a Fire Fox at one point, maybe they'll instead have an in-game earnable ice fox or lightning fox
@desert ivy Alright, that makes sense. Got kinda confused for a moment, thank you.
When willl this months livestream occur?
last message in #news
Oh ok ty
Hey quick question I use the spell book a lot and recently got to the point where I maxed out my deadly finisher chance to trigger perfect timing but I’ve never seen it proc once in all my fights is it currently just not working?
Good evening, I logged into the game without any problems until today. Today I come, launch the launcher, then select a character, click enter the game world, and my screen becomes slightly dark and the screen saver is slightly visible, I have already reinstalled the game, it didn't help, what should I do?
try updating your graphics drivers
All the latest updates are installed.
writes the error Connection to the Realm timed out and does not go further, how can I fix this?
Trying over and over again.
There is currently no fix
My longest was 6 restarts until it worked. 🙂
@pulsar elbow
The game doesn't work for me either, everything was fine, why did it suddenly stop logging in, can someone help?
This game block my country IP?
There’s no region locking so you should be fine. I’ve heard there are issues with VPNs however
was fine yesterday, day before had issues, seems like everyday never know if ill be able to log in or not, been trying for hours today and once again time out msg...
Anyone done the ways of the past quest line?
did you find this out?
No, I haven't found out, I still can't log in.
My friends from my country are fine, they're dying, I can't get in
It's not likely, I've got it. I had to create 2 characters, log in to the 1st, then log out and log in to the main character, although I did the same thing yesterday and it didn't help me. It seems to be working now
it is a known bug btw... its under bug issues
someone know what happend, I press "play" on character selection and the screen goes black and min laters the game just close
