ah
so like, the 'everyone can play the BR' thing =/= everyone gets to play after the BR?
from what i know so far, when NDA drops (should besome time next week) the registered players get access 1 month after NDA drops, bc when NDA drops ALpha 1 Phase 1 Officially starts
and yes they all get access for 1 moth
month
then u can play the castle siege for a month
meaning that afterwards, if we didn't buy any package, we'd be unable to play it?
after a1 backers play for a month
so far from what i know is u will only have access to each test for 1 month
its up to intrepid to leave it longer for the non backers
so like
what should I do if I want to play all the way to release xD
except for being a content creator
u cant 😦 unless u buy into Alpha 2, which will be a persistent test
meaning they server will stay open until launch later to become the PTR
wouldn't there be a Beta? 😮
yes u have to buy into a beta
so you have to buy into Alpha 2 and Beta?
we have no word on an Open beta

Servers will be open until launch with exception to patches and maint, it will morph into beta essentially
And if i recall a beta phase is non wipe?
no there will be a wipe
alright, I'm getting fragments of it which has been of great help
what's the best way possible I'd be able to play pre-release for the longest amount of time?
Buy package on site for alpha2
is the package on site for A2? :o
^^
u can wait til next month if u dont like the cosmetics and see if u like next months
aooo
Shouldn’t cosmetics have changed by now?
🤔
I thought it was like the 16th last month
ah nuts, sure is expensive to play early
not sure i wouldnt be surprised if they waited til the beginning of next month just to start the cycle off on a good day
Mhmm tbh you’re getting your money worth in time and coin
And cosmetics Your just doing it for an “un finished product”
in any case, throughout the years, it will be publicly available for testing on some occasions at the very least right?
yes
Pretty much every package is exactly what you pay your getting in sub/content/pts so worth it IMO
now that I think about it, the later releases would probably have had improved standards, although one wouldn't have the pride in contributing to testing to that standard
u will have 3 months of testing 1 month for each phase of phase 1 being the BR Castle Siege and Horde Mode
the only problem is that I'm broke

wait, are those 3 phases the only things to test before the release in 2020? O.o
3 months to save up for alpha 2 roughly before it closes, mow a lawn shovel a driveway here or there 😂
no
Those 3 phases are until early next year when a2 should start
this is just Phase 1 Quez
of ALpha 1
oh darn phase 1, real nice
be in mind that is off cuz we havent started Phase 1 we are still in stress test
Dates can change but that’s a good base line
it's still hella impressive how this much is already in place for being barely at the second phase out of many 
much thanks for entertaining the questions, learnt a good bit 
wait the REAL mmo part yet???

Are there going to be more/other pvp gamemodes other than battle royal?
thank you
Hi @crystal beacon, reply to your support ticket to bump it. Only Intrepid can help you with account related issues.
<@&257269635559194625> will AoC be optimized for sli?
@inland timber Considering the UE4 engine i image this is sort of pre built, maybe. But it most probably will be.
Though you must have some pretty old stuff to need sli
@teal hatch Also the BR is just for testing. It is not going to be in the game when it releases
Thank god, I honestly hate BR with a passion
BR = castle siege
I wouldnt mind a mini game being BR for side fun in game also i was looking for amd threadripper/ryzen which is sli
equivalent
@silent lantern
Steven said that it is not going to the live game. I'd not mind a br mode separate from the MMO, but i don't care about this genre so... let's just say i won't be playing it even if it happened.
Well lets say 10k servers really happen and game gets as much ppl as wow BR mode would happen and there would be ppl playing it
Has anyone heard anything regarding this months cosmetics?
No
Honestly that is not on their mind atm they are trying to stabilize the servers and get everything in working order so we can officially start alpha 1 phase 1 it wouldn’t surprise me if they held off on cosmetics until the beginning of next month just to start fresh at the beginning
Or to perhaps drop something extra sic for the spirt of the All Hallows eve
I think that would totally be worth it for a delay, atleast IMO
It better have a pumpkin head?
No bless already did that
A lot of them have but i want a pumpkin head
guys is the game gonna come out on the Nintendo switch?
No
im gonna marry her anyway!
Uhm just heard they would be opening the test server for all backers (an email should have been sent) Is this the case?
yep thats what Krojak said
Awesome :b

I havnt recived that mail that Krojak talked about anyone have an idea when it will come? he said it should be up all friday, now friday is gone
Don't know what email Krojak was refering to so maybe ask him.
Can I still get alpha 2 access after this announcement
is this still the arena battle royal thing?
or is phase 2 moving past that?
If I buy A2 right now can I still get an invite? ❤ @idle siren
Come onnnn email!
Does this include alpha2 purchases through the website? Or just alpha2 kickstarter backers?
with that notification, does that mean if we purchase a2 right now, we'd be able to get in this weekend ?
@idle siren ^ not for alpha 2, but will we be able to get in asap in this situation
can i still become a alpha 2 backer?
so alpha 2, and beta invites means that moving forward we are entering beta stage? or you invite everyone for arena and then back to alpha 1 main game?
you can buy it thru the website still
i wont be able to buy a copy until november
idk if they'll let you in
i'm hoping we can purchase a2 and get in for the a1p1 test so i play around now and show my friend what it's like
Wait alpha 2 testers can play from now on or just for the field testing?
just for testing
but i'm hoping i can quickly purchase alpha 2 on the website and get an email for this weekend
After that they are out till next year when alpha 2 begins then?
waiting for reply
JUST to clarify for All of u here!! This is the phase 1 of alpha 1 meaning we are still in the BR phase
yea
And yes u can still purchase a2
shadow, since you're with the wiki, do you know if they'll let us in asap if we purchase a2 atm ?
or can you ask
Hmm
since i figure the wiki might have connections
Doubtful bc imagine how many ppl they are sending that email it to
Nope
No connections here
my guess is you wont be added to the list if you buy it right now
there would be a delay
After purchasing the a2 just put in. Support ticket
@glass swallow enlighten us during ur busy day if someone buys an a2 package today would they still get an email for testing tonight
When people upgrade their KS packs to include A1 testing, they will get into the testing after following the processes mentioned in the Pinned Messages in this Discord
I do not see why it would be different for those who upgrade to A2
might be a delay tho
Wait hold up. What time zone is Steven writing from?
Pst
ok ty
thats not the issue, its more so if i buy fresh A2 today will everything process in time for A2 accounts getting access for me to get in the A1 phase theyve changed to allow us in
even if it's not tonight, would it be tomorrow or something
bad english
this weekend
Depends on how long A2 backers will have access to testing 
i'd love to just get in and start playing around to be able to show my friend. that's what i'm hoping for
You are better off waiting for Steven or someone else confirm this or not tbh
^^ a hetter question would be, if you were to buy the a2 package fron the website would you get an invite to the BR stress test and is it purely only for the BR stress test or also all other stress tests coming up such as castle sieges and horde.
Instead of buying a pack you might not want besides for the testing
Doubt you will get in right this second if you buy A2 now
Given there are still A1 upgrades that are not in
So Founder bundle from kickstarter, Which states is closed alpha phase 2. will be included in this phase?
did other alpha 2 backers get their emails yet?
I have not.
Just got confirmation if u were to upgrade today u wouldn’t get access tonight
The mail list is already generated
It has yet to be sent
okay jw ty 😃
Does this latest announcement also mean I can freely stream AoC?
yes
So ppl who bought the alpha2 package off the AoC website pre this announcement will get a key? Or is this only alpha2 kickstarter backers
Sweet 
I'm confused as to the statement Steven made. Says invite to all Alpha 2 backers. But then in his clarification says "invites will be going out shortly to all Alpha 2 backers, for the Alpha 1 Phase 1 Arena testing. Not for Alpha 2". Did he just mean not for Alpha 2 as in the Persistant world test?
He meant this isnt alpha 2
In case someone misunderstood that Alpha 2 was starting, which its not
But alpha 2 backers will get access to alpha 1 phase 1 arena testing
Who are the beta backers?
The ones that backed beta
Ok, thank you for clearing that up. I just thought it was odd that A2 backers were getting access to an A1 test.
They need more testers, so my guess is they will be testing server load more now
My sister and I bought the alpha 2 pack bundle off the website last December, but we are not kickstarter backers. Should we expect a key? Does anyone know
Yes you should be getting an invite afaik
That's kind of where my confusion is coming from as well Valkaerian. As my kickstarter bundle specifically states A2 P2 persistant alpha. I had just assumed I wasn't going to recieve an invite until then. The way it sounds though it looks like we can all expect one.
where do i download the client for the tests? i want to have it downloaded before that big tests where the servers are opened up to everyone including the people who didnt purchase the alpha packs
<@&257269635559194625>
in the email you got is a link tot the client
You will need login credentials before you can download the game files, which you get with your mail
Cant download unless servers are up either
you wait till you get it
da,m
is there a way to buy into alpha 1 still if i now actually have the funds to do so?
Only if you were a kickstarter backer
kickstarter alpha 2 - refreshes email; refresh; refresh; refresh
Unless you are a Kickstarter/Summer Backer, no

Hey wanting clarification why are alpha 2 invites going out? What was the point of buying alpha 1 access for $500 USD when alpha 2 who didn’t spend anywhere near that gets to play weeks after?
Anyone else annoyed?
So we get more people to test with because queues are slow.
I am not annoyed at this as an A1 backer because we get more games in and it's for the betterment of the game as a whole.
Yer well I’m annoyed this is crap and honestly the cost difference was huge
Anyway won’t flood this with negativity I’ll just log my own ticket this is insane
Depends on the pack
If preorder pack, you paid 500$ for more in game currency, game time, skins etc compared to the Alpha 2 Pack 
If you bought an Alpha 1 pack to be "priviledged" to test the game then 🤷
Yeah to me it was more about game time, embers and cosmetics. Earlier was just a nice perk.
Besides, they've only gotten access because too few Alpha 1 testers are actually testing
So if you want to blame someone, blame the thousands of A1 testers that are not showing up @robust marsh
Intrepid is just doing waht they are supposed to
(And just to give you an estimate here, they wanted 10k tester fpr Alpha 1, less than 10% of these testers have showed up till now, so you can see the issue)
As far as I'm aware, this is only for a weekend and its so Alpha 1 testers have better queues to test.
Keep in mind this is an Alpha. It's not early access to the game. You are helping Intrepid test their game to make sure it's the best it can be. The more expensive the packs were, the more goodies you got and why is it bad that more people get to test the game in it's early phases? We all want the same end goal: an amazing game at launch.
Totally wasn't scrolled down. Ignore me XD
just to clarify, the alpha 2 being able to test is just for the modes in phase 1, that was going to be opened up to everyone anyway. The proper alpha 1 which is phase 2 is alpha 1 exclusive that we know. That's what you bought to test.
Everyone will get access to the BR eventually, as IS has already stated. So A1 Pack, A2 Pack or none. Everyone will get in sooner or later
And A1 will still have their phase 2 for them alone
think of the phase 1 as a bonus thing, that's opened up to everyone, so they have something to try out, phase 2 is the proper mmo testing and that starts Q2 2019
<@&257269635559194625> For individuals who register on the website after the BR mode is released for all users, will they still be able to join in the testing? Or will they have to sign up on the website beforehand?
did all of the alpha 2 invites go out? don't see anything in my email
oh, looked like they announced 2 hours ago and it said 8 start time, just noticed PDT
where did it say emails would go out in 15 minutes? too many damn channels to check,l ol
Idk where it said 15 mins but there's a message from Steven in News.
For you guys that backed the game with 500 dollars, you get lifetime sub right? Isnt that what you actually are paying for? + the extra stuff you get with it. And isnt it better to get more testers in to get more feedback?
The $500 Interpid pack from the website did not include lifetime membership, no.
Ah ok my mistake!
@heavy meadow if it was from the Kickstarter it did, braver of worlds included lifetime
Ye and summerbackers right?
But im not going to start a hole thing here, I'm happy I get to test and give feedback 😄
Anyone know if A1 backers will get an email today too? I have yet to get an email and was hoping to get to participate this weekend 😃
yea, but A1P1. I wasn't on the email list and got that fixed...now just waiting for an email
Ah. I'm uncertain about that. I haven't received one for this testing phase just yet
Have all the email's gone out?
So far no.
ok thanks
Emails gone out yet? Panic has arrived...
yeah I haven't got anything yet either. I'm thinking it will be close to when the start time for testing is.
It's too early to be panicking.
If my friend buys the alpha 2 pack on the website now will he get into the testing?
Im guessing no one really knows. Except Intrepid
Have emails been sent out yet?
I am scared
Have the emails been sent?
I'm sure they will make an announcement when the emails are sent.
Okay Thanks
Just got an email
Emails have indeed begun arriving
Ensure that you have Community@IntrepidStudios.com as a contact to avoid any issues recieving
So with email's arriving we are going to get a second email coming as well?
you get the first one saying you were invited,
then another with the client download
So I purchased the initial kickstarter in 2017 but forgot to link the kickstarter code to my account until an hour ago. Does that mean I wont be on the receiving end of this email?
I am trying to connect. I put a name and ready...wait for 10 minutes or so then it says connecting to game session...and just gives me a thinking circle? Is this correct
If you see that connection screen for more than a few minutes, I'd reccomend a restart
now it wont even let me log back in. Was there a new installer package for this weekend?
im using the one from two weekends ago party stress test
where can we go to get the current, up-to-date, launcher
Yea, you would've had to delete everything and reinstall Trexon
@torpid fractal You'll get the second email with the download soon
thx
:patiently waiting for second email:
who am I kidding? i'm impatiently waiting...
I'm assuming everybody has the same question as me then lol Received email stating I was invited and that another will be sent with download link. I'll be patient since everyone else is having the same problem
😉
2nd email has not gone out yet. Anyone trying to enter is using the software they already have.
Hmm..I didnt get an email for the new download.
Is it suppose to be on my account page?
Please don't spam...
I'm so sorry about that. I poured water into my keyboard and it started flipping out.
You can delete messages
Thank you.

How can I force the option to choose folder again?
Delete it and redownload?

Thanks!
if u werent able to select a folder and something w ent wrong ur gunna have to manually delete all files associated with intrepid
So like if the install button is unclickable?
yea
if we didnt get an email, are we NOT getting an email?
Ensure that Community@IntrepidStudios.com is mapped as a contact in your email client
Where are the files I need to delete located? I did an uninstall on the launcher
then re download, and still the install button doesn't work
How long is it usual to have to wait after pressing "Play" ingame?
thanks!
be between 1 - 15 minutes @upbeat sky
I never got a folder selection request
thanks
when you first download the launcher it should have asked you
1080Ti on Win 10 Pro x64 and get this error message on launch.
deleted....re download launcher file....install button still not clickable 😦
This installer using any kind of bittorrent back end or is it a direct download?
Yeah, not clickable for me either
looks like a direct download 
I click ready in the lobby, is there any feedback after that? just kinda sitting here
I'm on the launcher, hit ready. Do I need to have a party to play?
Been here forever
Nevermind, got the connect
Why isn't there a tech guy in here? the email says get on discord....but why? I wanna play....the install button doesn't work. are they working on it? :/
I'm having same issue

Anyone else getting 0mbps for the downloader?
...As I say that I'm now downloading
carry on
Ya me too. Is that normal when installing from the server?
I'm betting it's just congestion from tons of people downloading at once
Which is something they wanted to test anyhow
I am getting error user not found on login
I cant even get the loader to work tells me i dont have persmisson
ensure no spaces and ensure youre using the UN and PW in the email
it did that for a while for me
and not the one you use for the forums / website
then kicked in
one of the few times i'm not happy that gmail is telling me that i have no mail in my inbox
check to make sure that it didn't do that wonky thing where it combines the emails in the same string
@neat spindle if you cant find your email key that post guides you through how to request a resend
email key is done, im referring to access this weekend
It took me some random clicking around to get it
assuming i just missed out
i cant get the set up to work says cannot access the specified device, path, or file
still waiting on the client email...must be the delay to Australia.
Did your pre-requiste installer force you to reboot like it did me? If not, you may want to reboot
Yeah, it did
C:\Program Files\Intrepid Studios\Intrepid Studios Launcher has the prereq installer in there. Maybe try rerunning that as an admin
Thank you so much that worked
mrofni it's a resolution issue. I just put my monitor back into 1920, and button works.
Can a couple of you just confirm for me that the installation of the game made your computers restart?
I'm installing now so I'll let you know when I get to that point.
the prerequiste part did
the little pre launcher file didn't
mine wont even start to download anything
i cant seem to get the launcher to install the game... after login it goes to the download screen and the download bar is visible, but its filled green and says 0% with 0mbps... then after like say 10 minutes it crashes... cant get an error to pop up
was there a deadline as far as if you just bought alpha 2?
Yeah I bought and alpha 2 pack but I haven't got an email
you'll prob get in tomorrow? they had compiled a list earlier today.
Trying to get in ... I hit ready than what do i do 😛
I'm gonna use the restroom....I won't be doing that for quite a few hours after download is done 😛
Where should we file bug reports?
op nvm! got it workin
So is this weekend only available to the summer backers for alpha2 or is available to all alpha2 participants?
@crystal beacon you see the "News section" about new purchases? Just added info
all alpha 2 Kwivur, but if you buy today you'll get email tomorrow.
I bought it weeks ago.. Where's my e-mail!!.. lol
if you backed beta are we guaranteed an invite?
make sure you have the right email lol. log into the website, and double check.
not on this weekendd Poke
ok thanks gamer
@solar coyote I bought mine last month. I don't mind getting it tomorrow, but I'd like to make sure that I get it.
I cant get the installer to work after i click the email lol
Koy log into the website, and make sure you used the email address you think you used. (I was checking wrong one before I double checked)
Pressed play 30 minutes ago, still no game..
if you have alpha 2 or above you should get something.
now do I just press ready?
click the link on the email it pops up i click save i goto where it saved run as admin and it says no you dont have permisson
@solar coyote Yep. It's the right one.
and you have alpha 2? hmm I'd contact support from the website.
Ok
Once you've downloaded and finally got the game up, all you need to do is press play, see a green ready, and wait
If you've waited for an extended period if time, relaunch the game
@soft magnet if game DL never moves off 0% it's usually either not running the game as an administrator or your antivirus/firewall stopping DL
The leave match button not work for other ppl?
still cant get installer to work
Most of time need to alt f4 after matches and restart client
What specifically is not working Gunz?
People are saying you can use the menu on the top right to leave match instead of alt F4
oh reading what you wrote earlier - you didn't happen to try installing it say directly into like C:/ instead of putting it in a folder?
anything, I click the link i got from the email it pops to save i save it, i goto where its saved and either run it as admin or dont and it tells me that "windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropiate permissions to access the item
i cant install anything
which it saves to the downloads
you running a standard account or admin?
move the installer to your desktop and try from there
samething
and ive tried running it as both on my desk and off and i get teh samething everytime
Is their an issue with the installer sitting at 98%
hey guys i downloaded the game and when i proceed to press launch i get an error failed to start the game ; Game exited with code 3 signal : null

Give it time.
Ok it's coming down now slowly wee 😃
anyone have a link to where i can post on the site for issues related to this
L2PC
my username ?
is it email addresses or the username in the account when logged in on website? my email is too long for the username on the client and the username from account says it is not found... i am confused :S
I had no problems downloading and running it.
Neither, second email contains login credentials
Ah, it feels like windows 98 now, sitting at 100% downloaded but no launch
if you try to install it on a drive other then C then you'll have to make a folder in that drive.
Make sure you have enough space where you're downloading it.
oh lol... totally missed those random numbers 😃
@crystal flax This guy has the answers
well i cant even get the installer to work and looking through the site im not seeing anything that relates to tonites stress test
thanks @crystal flax
have you tried deleting the installer and redownloading? I would assume you have.
like 10 times
run as admin?
where are you running the installer from
If you try to reinstall, be sure to go through your Appdata folders and delete intrepid, intrepidlauncher, and APOC
im not getting that far
are you running it from somewhere in your C:\
desktop and from the download folder
is your system drive labeled C:? Also check the file size make sure its 146mb
and that you disable any virus scanner that might decide to stop it
disable your virus scanner redownload and try again.
turned anti vrus off and worked lol
😃
i wasnt even getting anything saying it was blocking
Added to exceptions
no email received = unable to play in this alpha release?
thank you a bunch
not sure they may have more invites going out...got mine around 10:48 pm CST
i got mine 05:00 CET
so does it have to stay on the C drive once its installed
how does mana work?
DX11 feature 10 needed?
you can install it on other drives
NDA is off now right?
just sometimes when you pick the drive you have to make a folder and select it
My client is downloading but stops at 96% is there a way I can fix this?
its alpha I doubt NDA is off
NDA is off rn
steven said it was off
really, cool
NDA is off? People streaming it?
cant wait to test this 😃
yea NDA is lifted for this
@plucky mauve dont think so. i have it installed to my different games drive.

No view NDA button either?
nope
Screencap the launcher, and restart it.
ok thank you
anyone else still waiting on the client email?
Me...but I just bought the Alpha 2 pack yesterday
All emails said they were sent earlier. If you haven't gotten them, and have checked spam, send in a support ticket through the support button lower right hand corner of the main AoC page.
Yeet, I'm on it, thank you
Also, only for A0/A1 and A2 personnel only atm.
yeah, have the first email but not the follow up with the client.
Which was the first?
I only have a confirmation of me buying the preorder
In order to access our game you will need assigned login credentials along with a link to download our game client. You can expect an email with this information within the next hour.
Same deal. If you bought a A0/1 and or A2 pack (not within the last day or so) you should have gotten the email, if you haven't and have checked spam, you'll need to submit a ticket.
Gotcha, sounds like it got eaten along the way then Disco.
I'm in and i clicked ready but nothing is happening
am i missing something?
wtf now it just randomly worked lol
Nope, if it doesn't queue in the next 15 minutes, close the client, and click nothing but ready next time.
alright..submitted ticket...wasn't expecting to get in this weekend anyway, but it'd be cool to test it out if I did get the chance 😃
"CLEAN" install
(1) Uninstall Intrepid studios launcher.
(2) Delete folders: COPY/PASTE for ease
%localappdata%/APOC <- for 0.0.4 or earlier
%localappdata%/Programs <- for 0.0.4 or earlier
%appdata%/intrepid-launcher <- for 0.0.5 and newer
%appdata%/Intrepid Studios Launcher <- for 0.0.5 and newer
These folders might be in both local and roaming app data
(3) Delete folder with Game Files. (the location you installed the game last time)
(4) Download and install client from the newest email.
(5) Use username and password supplied.
Thanks grey. 😉
@modern fossil my first email came straight through but the second got caught in my spam
Also submitted a ticket, we'll see xdd
@visual niche sent a ticket anyway
@uneven briar checked. not in there.
@stable plover, could you also snag and pin Bot's "contact us" guide as well, please?
Code 3 errors can be caused by a variety of issues, but seem to most often be a 'corrupt data' issue. Make sure your always running the AoC client as an administrator. Running old versions of the launcher / attempting to install with an old version of the client installed / installing with old App data can cause Code 3 errors. These might also occur if the launcher is interrupted partway through downloading or for some other reason.
Troubleshooting suggestions:
- Completely close client and launcher, restart as admin and hope for best - If this doesn't work proceed to 2
- Restart your computer / restart launcher / attempt to start client - This might trigger launcher into performing a successful repair, if this doesn't work proceed to 3
- Perform a clean uninstall of both the client and the launcher, redownload the newest version of launcher, if at some point in setup it doesn't ask you for the location to install game into your uninstall probably wasn't 'clean' - Don't install into a root directory (install into a folder) The game might prefer being installed into Program Files x86
- A separate possible fix for some people install epic game launcher and then downloaded the Unreal Engine 4 ( https://launcher-public-service-prod06.ol.epicgames.com/launcher/api/installer/download/EpicGamesLauncherInstaller.msi )
- If that doesn't work you might have a non-corruption related issue
Hi, I am trying to install the game but I the luancher is not allowing me to press the install botton. Can any one help pls?
Thanks
That's probably a resolution error, you might be able to tab to install button and press enter instead of clicking, or you can try adjusting resolution
Adjustment suggestions: Go into your display and make sure your scale and layout is set to 100 %
and your resolution is set to 1920x1080 then restart
Direct X11 level 10 is required? do I have to downgrade my graphics or
No, upgrade usually, actually. Are you running .34?
hmmm .34 of what...
Should have specified, NVIDIA or AMD?
If you are having a DirectX 11 issue, try first to update the driver (reload computer after). If that doesn't work, try rolling back your driver to previous version that worked. Known good version of the driver
https://us.download.nvidia.com/Windows/411.70/411.70-desktop-win10-64bit-international-whql.exe
The game seems to hate version 416.16 in particular
^ .34 is the update after the .16, and people are having more luck with that.
So if you’re not a backer when do normal players get to buy the game im still not sure how it all works i know there will be a $15 sub but what about the game cost when can we buy that?
When are the servers up for stress test? Are they up now?
"No connection to server" is at the moment the only message i get from launcher. I am from Germany
yo lads, anyone else getting a ETIMEDOUT Error?
Anyone else trying to install the client but it's stuck at 0?
@stable plover thanks its working now 😀
mine stayed at 0 for a bit
define: bit
10 minutes or so
For the most part, if the launcher gets "stuck" the solution is to just stare at it as hard as you can
Meaning just wait
This alpha installer is rough
this jumpy creap so you dont get hit is bull
i hope they dont plan to leave it like this
@west thunder I assume a no connection to server message atm is either antivirus/firewall blocking traffic or not running as administrator
Bunny hopping is common in BRs, but no this game won't be a BR
it's possible it could be a port issue, but that's much trickier to deal with
anyone stuck on 0% when installing?
I start it as administrator definitly but i will check firewall
i can whitelist server. adress is ?
was so excited for this and it's an installer problem....sigh
@crystal beacon took me about 5 mins before it started downloading
oh ok
it's moving!!! 😄
Staring intently works
Nice @cerulean lake roll the dice for your error next!
This is my 3. invite and I've still yet to play the game, after pressing Play and becoming READY nothing happens, ever
some are as helpful as code 3!
Failure was Firewall. Thank you. download at 0% but i will wait^^ Thank you
oh let me look up my code book, ah 3. yes, I'll take action right away on the 3.
@upbeat sky A green ready should mean you're in queue, if you've messed with any settings restart
Oh god, not an 11!!
Are servers up?
Yes
@delicate dagger . they have a server-status channel now
Did someone her have the Code3 fix?
anyone know why i can't click install?
@leaden warren check pins
Thanks @crystal flax ❤
I just noticed on the website some of the packages you get in game ember, do we know how many embers a Warrior of Old package will get?
Referring to the original KS package WoO right?
yeah
If it didn't say it came with any, doesn't come with any
RIP thanks
So is it arena all weekend?
Yep
@teal hatch I don't think we know yet. It hasn't been stated what the economy will be for the in-game store as of yet
New modes 
Seems really cool so far, just can't wait to see what it'll be like as an MMO
*MMORPG before someone tries to get me on a technicality
Many are waiting for the actual MMO parts. You're not alone there
BR mode, or arena, is being used as the Stress Test mode for this weekend, and into the Beta invites later.
As for implementation, since they gave it an actual name, it might stay as a submode, or a... minigame(?) but I wouldn't hold my breath. As a test environment though, sublime.
Many don't want it to stay, and I personally feel like it's leaning towards not, but it's still up in the air
I wouldn't mind seeing it a kind of "queue up game mode". but that wouldn't really sit well with the overall world view I think
As for a general timeline of mode testing: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/391999211073437713/487971845891424257/AshesRoadmap.png?width=541&height=649
So which are we on right now?
I think the BR mode has its place as a submode/minigame, but, it is NOT a thing that I would want any kind of dev team spending any amount of time on for anything other than testing prior to launch. Maybe after a year or more.
Technically A0/1 Stress Test.
Stress Testing is being joked as Alpha 0.
There was an actual A0 though
Next up, likely after the beta invites/all registered user invites (maybe, I don't speak for the dev team), the Alpha testers will move on to Phase 1 proper with Battlegrounds as they want it and sieges.
i've installed the client but i cant seem to click the install button, to install the game. Anyone know what i can do?
yea it is
Just won't "click"?
yea wont click
i can click patch notes
and other buttons
cant click region tho
Try ye olde restart the system. If that doesn't work, double check antivirus, run as admin, and reinstall fresh if none of the above work.
ok ill try anti virus
tried the others 👌
completely closed my anti-virus, restarted, and fresh install.
but can't click the install button
do i need a different version of directx? i think i saw that somewhere in the pins. i have v12
DX10 should be fine
Can you send me a screenshot of what you mean by not clicking the button?
make ur launcher smaller
Hey, I'm a bit confused, because:
- I'm an aplha 1 backer. Why did I receive an A2 e mail?
- What's the difference between the weekend credentials and the credentials e mail? 😄
ok ill try resizing ty
it same
thanks for the help, it was the size of the client
Nah, groups will auto fill
There's only one server with a set amount of people needed to start.
If you're there for more than about 15 minutes, try to restart. Also, don't change anything while you're waiting or before you try to queue.
Still no start
If you've changed any settings around, try giving it a quick restart
I have restarted the game once already I can do so agina
But when I restarrted I also had to restart my character.
Changing your armor is okay too
You got it. Give it 15 minutes, and hopefully you'll get in there.
o.OO
(15 max) Queue will likely be shorter, depending on how many people are trying to queue right now.
Is there any way to join your friends in the current build?
Yes get their IDs and invite them
Yes, in the hamburger menu is a code you can share amongst yourselves.
omg its loading!
😉
Remember to try to leave this channel for direct questions and answers only. Many new people starting to test who may need assistance
Unable to select launch, I have tried resizing the launcher and nothing. Any other recommendation?
I've read past messages and I can't find the fix for when it gets stuck at 0% downloading, I run the launcher as Administrator https://i.imgur.com/Dpsryjk.png
It didn't work on the other screen either, but I did get it between both screens for whatever reason. I am in now, thanks.
Hello, is it usual to get stuck on 99% of the download? Been here for about 8 mins now
It's probably patching. this might take a bit
OK, thanks
@rancid forge mine got stuck there so i just restarted the launcher
@hollow fiber on a team wiht Proxy 😃
Soo ehh I am in the Lobby, but how can I actually play ? Nothings happening
If you have a green ready, all you need to do is wait
If you've changed any settings though, give it a restart
Hey guys I've watched this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsJ19HWTpVE and looked at 1:10
If you want to try Ashes of Creation, and you want to know when you'll be able to, then this video is for you. We've been given more details about the Alpha ...
I have bought the Wayfarer Pre-Order Pack (75$ for Beta test). However I have not received an email regarding the invite. I'm in Australia so not sure if that might be why, but I'm happy to play in US or EU servers. (had to play with US for years before MoP in WoW)
Recently only the A2 testers had gotten in, then every registered user at random after that, all you have to do is wait but I could be wrong on the order of that
how long does it usually take to get from the lobby into the game?
Do you mean waiting on connecting?
im in a lobby i think and ive pressed ready
Did you mess with any settings?
no
I see so many questions regarding errors when launching, but I haven’t seen anyone come back with what worked for them. Thought I’d share. Downloaded and installed launcher. Download stuck at 98% for a short while but I let it power through. Clicked Launch button and received an error CODE 3 upon crash. Read Pinned post here in #questions and saw the steps to take if such an error occurred. Currently playing the game after uninstalling launcher, disabling Firewall and Antivirus, deleting all the %localappdata% and %appdata% flies recommenced in the pinned post, and reinstalling. Did this twice. Game running smoothly on my system now.
If the green ready is above your head and you havent messed with any settings, just wait a bit longer
ok thanks
If it lasts too long just give it a quick restart
Is it safe/allowed to give away your login credentials ? I don't have much time to enjoy this awesome game in this weekend
Its not allowed no 
Alright, I guessed as much but wanted to make sure 😉
So what am I supposed to do if the username and password that were emailed to me aren't working?
contact either a Mod, or make a support ticket
i am DL andit hasnt moved from 1% for about an hour,shouldi retry?
Make sure you have enough space for it
if download gets "stuck", just close the launcher and relaunch it
that has worked for me in the past
apparently sometimes you have to just wait a bit though
Same question here - I clicked on Lobby, that button is now green but nothing else is happening
is that correct?
yes
ty
just wait a bit
Anyone received this error?
yh
Correct, if you've changed any options give it a restart
I can't get it to start, always get the unreal engine 4 crash error
The Stresstest ist a battleroyal mode? I feel very disappointed
is there a way to move the installe location for the Launcher?
gunna have to fuilly delete and redownload
first time i installed it, it didn't give me a choice
it's given me choice to install the game but not the launcher
@digital yacht for the unreal engine launch error?
ah, ok 😃
Hi everybody, got invite mail for the current testing but the Launcher say me: "Login failed: User not found"
Missed I something to set or just known issue?
@untold jacinth you need the username and password from the second email, not your own
@digital yacht where would i get the choice to install the launcher location?
@last elm ❤ thanks 😄
probably
k
Question for anyone who's online I fundit the kickstarter has any of the rewards did they start rolling out the rewards for that yet or not
Not yet, but there is a cosmetic tab so it could maybe be soon?
Bloody hell can't wait for this 
is it only contect creators that are allowed to stream or can all stream? if you have access ofc
i still cant launch the game after 5 hours sweet
Shit launch the game i haven't even gotten the first email lol
@blissful field NDA is lifted going forward, everyone can stream
@blissful field all are allowed to stream no miore NDA
Hi, is there a link here on discord to download the launcher ? I don't click links in emails :/
well
You'd trust strangers but not the company? 
I would send you the exact same link you find in your email
There is not a link in discord, only in email. Unless theres something im not aware of
so why would it matter lol its an actual company
I get about 3 to 4 fake email s a day for every game I signed up for 😃
Take it or leave it
We can tell you what the real one is
they all look like the real company
😃
If the link says IntrepidSetup-0.0.14.exe at the end then you are good
This is the first time I got a link sent. Haven;t done it before. No worries though 😃 If they have no link on their official sources, websites or discord then I just skip it for now.
Wouldn't the official email be an official source?
@crystal flax only if you put them as an official source in the first place
i really dont understoud why you trust people you really dont know, but not this company you paid for the game, set them on whitelist in email and check the link before you click it ... but its your decision
Moderators or Intrepid have listed which email the one containing the download comes from
I'm on mobile so excuse the poor screenshot, but this message pinned in this channel by an official moderator assigned by Intrepid lists the email you would receive from
If that's not official, then I can't help you
well my download stoped when my internet died for 1 min and now my login does not work any more
I am having issues with error code 3. I have read the pinned posts about it, and have uninstalled the game and deleted any subsequent folders created. I realized that it must've not been a clean uninstall because it didn't ask me where to install, not sure how to fix this. I also read that is says to uninstall both the client and the launcher, but there is only a launcher to uninstall under Programs and Files. Halp ;o;
so where do we report issues?
Forum and/or #apocalypse_test_bugcrash-reports
he doesnt have acces
then nowhere you can make them as of now, I'd assume they will make a general bug report thread on the forums soon though
What you can do is find someone with Alpha 1 Access to post the report on the forums for you 
anyone else having bad FPS on low settings? I have a decent setup. clean install of windows and all drivers updated...
like 9-15 fps
dont use low settings if u can
i tried on med/high, and it was worse. tried lowering resolution too
hmm
no Sound in lobby is correct?
also looks like Fullscreen doesn't lock mouse ot the screen, anyone know how to do that?
also how long does waiting in the lobby typically take?
Depends on queue
Thank you @crystal flax that helps 😃
equipping armor was abit weird
took me a while to figure it out
also i lost my mouse anyone know how to bring it back
Clicking should bring it back
i don't know if i tried but i will try next time that happens
also is voice chat working at the moment in game, i tried communicating but got no responses
Nobody's said whether or not it does, email says the default key is now alt
yeah i didn't get any responses from pressing alt
also useful to know, that you can repair armor, but i assume there is a condition
All armor can be repaired up to 50
yeah looks like 100 was the max
50 for chest, 50 for legs
then I did something wrong
and it's a 1:1 damage reduction right?
Not even reduction really, just acts as an extra health bar
does the armor get destroyed when it reaches 0?
No
No, you still have it equipped
it can be repaired and you still have the skills
That's what Discord is for I guess
what does togglign stance do?
It's a weird way to say it uses your weapon's ability
agh right of course
also another note, armour can only be repaired up to what it provides maximum
Right, each piece being a max of 50
Regardless of rarity, every piece can get to 50 unless that changed this patch
Havent been able to play today so I can't speak for any changes in the most recent patch
Do I need a premade group to play or do I have to wait for 15-20 min?
Premade will make it faster, but you will get auto filled if solo
You wait as long as it takes for a match to fill
Sad to say itsbeen 3hours and i still cant leave the lobby, any ideas
I am quite out of the loop of the progress of this game. Is there some summary to read up?
altf4 @slender urchin
Summery: The game is currently underoing Alpha 1 Phase 1 (of 2) stress testing. This stress test is available, however, to Alpha 2 key holders though.
The game's development is right on schedule. They're currently testing action combat.
Where do we report bugs?
Hey guys - i see alot Of ppl stating that The The br Will be up for testing this weekend for all. Will this include me if only Got The Wayfarer Pre-Order pack ?
No 😦
no
Nice, Thanks
Founder pack +
Cool thanks 😊👍🏻
but you can watch it on twitch @gusty torrent
If i was allowed i would give you my login rock, but sadly im not 😐
I Will bro 😄
Check #web-maintenance to make sure you're not reporting bugs they already know about.
I just have to wait Søren 😉
am I supposed to be sitting here at Ready?
Is anyone else having this issue?
yes
when i pick up armor, do i have to equip it or leave it on my hot bar?
is there a in game voice chat =
?
i tought i saw it somewhere but i cant find it anymore
Left Alt I think is default
got error code 3 : signal = null;
done sticky advices several times, no chance to launch the game without error
any new advices to fix it?
anyone else cant fix this problem?
@cloud steeple @clever forge What Graphic driver version are you using
and what gpu
1080 gpu and 416.16
Update to the latest one, 416.34
Allo! Is there a delay for the download server to download the game, or should it start as soon as I hit install?
If that does not work, use this one https://us.download.nvidia.com/Windows/411.70/411.70-desktop-win10-64bit-international-whql.exe
14.10.1006-140417a-171099C
its the newest for my win 8
Depends, Garnett. Shouldn't take too long. Are you stuck at 0%?
Only for about two minutes, so figured to ask-oh there it goes!
You could try to restart the launcher or wait a bit more
let me see
It started now so looks like restarting as admin worked
if I remember correctly
If no error message pops up then everything should be okay, just takes a bit
I have a 1080ti with the most recent drivers
what is the driver number
Restart your PC first before you try again
I have the same driver as the other gentleman
no chance that anyone have an advice for me? 😳
#community_helpdesk Njak
thx, as i said above 😉 i did them several times, but it didnt help
is there only battle royal? as i am not so in to that ...
i expected a 20min mission compaign or so
Nope. Only BG. It won't be until Quarter 3 of next year that we'll get our hands on the more mmo-y side of Ashes
Thanks man, well i will uninstall it then 😃 it's not a great experience atm i don't want to screw up my game experience with this
hi guys, anyone know why it keeps saying "connecting" in lobby screen??
restart the launcher Jose
Thanks FlooDnl
anyone else getting a user not found error even after launching?
Make sure you are using the right login information.
😄
Copy paste can be hard, you could accidently paste spaces
nah im typing ti manually
Are you using the login info from the email you have received?
and according to the account informaion on the website its correct
BSpence it's not your account log in
You don't use the information from the website
A1 is separate from that, check your email
thanx guys
It's the very first thing you see before you actually click the download link
i derped hard its early am and am just about to go to bed b4 work when i saw my email
all good
I did the same thing so don't feel bad
Download restarts for the third time :/
im on my 5th and still havent even made it to make my avatar
And what about dl speed? Mines so slow
@frosty anchor You don't make an avatar, there's one character and you can pick his armor
Grim you've been very helpful in this discord. discreetly slides cookie towards that means something these days
Heya I have a pledge that gives me access to alpha 2 but I didn't receive the key ? What can I do about it ?
Check spam folder
If after today you dont get one, support ticket or contact a mod
👀
servers must be queued as all get out I can't even begin the DL... Waits patiently while negleting sleep ...
my client is crashing every single time due too some unreal engine stuff
