Did you have to sign up to play if you had an account already?
wasn't reading anything.
@idle siren, since there will be trade between nodes, will we be able to implement tariffs on incoming goods to avoid forced inflation of certain resources such as iron?
He most likely won't answer you here, though I guess there is a first time for everything. My answer would be no. Because trade war is a viable economic playstyle.
@south stone if you have an ashesofcreation.com account your fine for the 18th, if you currently have APOC access the emails contain instructions on test accounts
@ruby swift it is but tariffs are also part of an economic trade war and a great tool against certain issues arising
Yep, I just said no, my opinion means nothing on the issue. Could be they do, could be they don't. Guess we will just have to wait and see what the PhD in economics in charge of those systems has decided.
I still can't get into the game and now I'm getting access to path C program files * 86 Intrepid Studios Inc ashes of creation apocalypse and tight easyanticheat easyanticheat x 64. Dll is denied.
This is getting really frustrating. I'd like to actually play test this game.
i just get into the lobby again and again.. bright light than I sit on a griffon, than back to lobby for another 10 min wait happened 3 times. never get into play
@sand ether 1. go to the folder it tells you about right click the .dll files -> Properties, and uncheck the 'Read Only' box near the bottom - do this for both of the files
or if 1 didn't work
2. Go to that folder. Delete the 2 .dll files and then hit repair
I have follow up advice if neither of those work
Ty
anyone playing no laptop?
is there a way to pre-install for the apocalypse open beta on Tuesday
Just get it in your head that it will most probably, 99% will be available for you to install on the 18th
@idle siren @blazing orchid @sudden kernel @reef mulch Help! I cannot log into the Alpha portal.
-
I have the Pioneer Package from Kickstarter, which grants Closed Beta access.
-
I have an account for the Ashes of Creation website.
-
I received Ashes of Creation - Apocalypse Testing Invitation email and followed the directions.
-
Step 1 is to click on the https://alpha1test.ashesofcreation.com/ link. When I register, it says my email address has already been used.
-
When I click "Forgot Username" it gives me my Ashes website one. While this account info works on the Ashes website, it does not work on the Alpha portal.
-
In essence, it won't let me register a new account, and it won't use my Ashes account, leaving me unable to participate.
@pseudo flame File a support ticket if you havent already
@hidden crane Where at?
@hidden crane I think I found something. The Support button in the bootom right hand corner of the website?
Thank you!
@pseudo flame I'm having the same problem, if it makes you feel any better.
@pseudo flame will take a long time before you get a answer btw
sent one last friday and still no answer
I mean, I'll wait until I'm unable to get the rewards for Apocalypse. As a kickstarter participant, if I lose out on something that everyone else gets, I'll just write the game off.
@pseudo flame so is Eloalee...there might be a number of folks in this boat
I bought the beta and still didn't get an invite
I think they might only be sending invites to Alpha1 still.
no, steven said all betas (1 and 2)
Incorrect beta invites have and are still being sent out
#web-maintenance Steven said 25k invites to go out today
been trying since this discord startred still nothing 😦
Pick me for the test 😃
would mobs be just stupid NPC walking aimlessly around? Or will they be similar to BDO, where they feel like sometimes, they have a purpose, like moving stuff around, etc...
Will there be like a real endgame gear or are the weapons you use dependable on what you want to do with it?
@trim hound yes gear progression will be through raiding and crafting. And a combo of both for top tier gear
will you be able to pre download the client or w.e for the open beta?
Id suggest wait if you till you get an email or you may have to delete and reinstall
Will there be a logout timer to prevent players from switching characters to quickly player kill someone without jeopardizing the other character’s loot?
Someone suggested on reddit that they will keep a second character logged near one farming for example. Swap characters to kill someone. Then swap back to the farming character.
Its somewhat viable but when you pk someone, you lose some stats, so you cant kill many ppl at once. So it will require a lot of work to do it
is it only the people that bought the game will get keys or also the people that register? cuz I thought on December 18th its free for everyone that register?
yes, will be free on 18th
okay thank you
<@&257269635559194625> probably might want to make an "EU" and "NA" guild recruit, just an idea
The forums have segregated guild recruitment sections to use
We may add them in discord in the future but for now it'll remain as is
Will this next testing session be just for the 25k invited, or for the 25k + people who just tested the br in the previous days?
its 25k new ppl being added to the already player base playing the BR @clear obsidian so its new 25k members now joining our ranks
Is the stress testing still open
Ist still worth downloading if still open
Or should i wait for the open version
Yes soon....

My question is would have to redownload the game for the 18 when the open version comes out
I assume we all will
@blazing orchid is the correct Launcher version 1.0.102 now?
How do i get the installation?
Do we srly need to instal EVERYTHING AGAIN ?
Can anyone confirm I need to delete yesterday's install and start fresh?
k
Did invitations get sent?
i would assume so
does anyoine know how to fix that
idk im new and wanting to help test 😃
not sure @fierce sundial
seems as login servers are still not up. i still can't sign in
i see... i just cycle the log in every time
but it looks like I have to download it again
even chose same folder that it's installed in
My launcher is patching yet it's at 0% and not moving, is ther a way to fix that?
@fierce sundial think that error code might be related to ghost copies of the patcher - restarting comp or kill in task manager - code 3762504530
either its takes a few min to start or you gotta re install
oh, looks like my APOC folder has been reduced to 3GB
@clear obsidian my first time downloading it was at 0% for like 4 minutes
Do you get any error?
Patch system error
try ending task in task manager it usually worked for me
also a lot of folks got errors because they did not launch as admin try that out
Is still testing only for alpha users or even beta user now? In wednesday Steven say in server status its apocalypse available for both alpha and beta
Can confirm after updating the installer, then restarting my computer, the new download started right away. It does appear to be a complete redownload of the 17 or so gigs.
common issue is the anti cheat errors delete the 64 and 86 this seems to fix the issue
Game installer That what need 16 GB I should instal it where I have AoC ?
Where can i find the download link for the game?
ok tyvm
i just heard about this game from a friend i havent signed up for the emails or anything so i wont beable to get the download
in a match confirms servers are running
You'd need to wait for the 18th anyway then it seems
f2p
F2p
You need to sign up with an email on the beta registration website, then on the 18th you can play
Email needed
tyvm man
How do i fix the patcher system error? Same one as @fierce sundial
@floral pollenregister on the game site and ypou will be able toplay on 12/18
just did ty for the replys
Is this again about fck 16 GB downloading ?
Or what
It looks like it dowanloding the whole game again
it's scanning through all files to check file validity against what the files should be, any non equal files gets fixed
It doesn't look like it
So my question is. Is this game again download everything again ?
Mine said same thing but didnt download it all just patched
Why can't they just make it. IN launcher Patcing instant via installer
I am having issues installing net core runtime
I just feel like they fck up it every time.
is the unlocking the legendary path working, it seems not working for me?
it just keeps processing the request
Yea,
So that why my APOC is 150 MB large ?
Instant of 16 GB LARGE ?
And have 3 FILES
And being create 9 MINUTS AGO ?
I cant even install the launcher lol
Its not fun to every day downloading 17 GB with not very fast internet you know
why is patch doing 16GB ? 😂
Download whole 16gb, stuck at 99,99% and it started again from 0% 
k i'm out for tonight then enjoy your testing 
why it did ask me to install the entire game again
It askes you to do it but it doesn't install everything again
So what is it doing ?
Cause after cuting off internet it stop downloading, and my Folder when I instaler AoC reduced to 3 GB with 2 GB patcher
Once you've installed one of the most recent launchers and the game it shouldn't have you redownload the whole game again
Game says launching for the last 10 + mins. Are we running Launcher version 1.0.102 ?
SOUNDS RIGHT
thanks, AmazonMom. Should it be taking that long to get into the game?
is there going to be a solo que in this eventually, and i mean an actual solo que where everyones by themself not in teams
its been stuck at patching 0 % after the new launcher update
if i try to close the launcher the next time i open it it asks to install again
now i am getting PAtcher System error
Do i need to reinstal the game?
@primal harness
- close the game, Make sure everything is closed by task menager. Then run as Admin, and hope it work.
- If 1 doesn't work, try to delete easyantycheat 64 and 86
Mine said to install 16gb clicked run and it installed couple of meg and now it's running fine. At lobby screen.
it looks like reinstalling the launcher uninstalls the game entirely
I have a test user account that used to work but now it doesn't because it won't let me beyond the sign in screen. What could be the problem?
Would quiting the launcher while the game is installing, cancel or pause the installation process
should pause it
i guess i wouldnt be able to play today
Can someone be kind enought to help me install .net core 2.0 i cant find the solution anywhere
So I I logged in and went to the intrepid store to unlock the legendary path. The screen has locked up at the spinning wheel. Will it just take a while, or should I exit game and not try that at the moment?
@odd gust did the microsoft versions work for you?
https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download
locked up at Processing Request to be specific
Did not work either it always tells me something it in installing when there is nothing else
my patching is stuck at 0% complete and 0 download speed is it in a que or do i need to do something?
i hope not first time i have been able to log in
@rancid coral Same here, account was fine Monday, failing to log in today
how long does the que normally take ?
So, I was able to install successfully to completion about 30 minutes ago. I was able to play a match this morning on last nights build. Now with the re-install the lobby/hero screen shows "Not Ready". and I can't start the que. Is there something else I need to do first?
NM, displaying Ready in green now.
is there a que or is it a bug that its not downloading?
whenever i click play it just goes grey with no queue time popping up
i'm going to try relogging in
Hello, can someone tell me where i can Refund kickstar packet ?
You would need to send in a support ticket from the main website. Whether they will refund or not is up to them.
for some reason my login deatails just arent getting accepted anymore, how can i fix this?
ok thnx
Servers are broken atm. Try later.
seems everything is down cant log in
i cant log in either that must be the problem
Go hang out in ashes discussion. You will know faster when things are working than hanging out here.
Servers are being taken down to investigage issue
anyone know why i cant log into the launcher
server is currently down
U guys have plan about brazilian region price?
Getting Red Boxes, no matter what I do
Server is down
@autumn dew There wont be a box price but there will be a set monthly subscription fee, which will likely just get converted to your currency and rounded to a neat number.
You think 2h Tanking would be made a viable option in the game?
go on @radiant wave
So
how smart
You know that one song from the memes that something really intense happens and it’s the guys singing in almost like a choir
I need the name
It sounds like the Soviet anthem but it has a different melody
As I said it requires a big brain smarty pants to understand
Does anyone know if on the 18th for Apoc release We will get New Servers, Possibly in Asia or Oceania or will it just be EU Central and US West?
@small socket they haven't mentioned anything else.
I’m going to cry I can’t find it
@radiant wave sound of silence?
@radiant wave O Fortuna?
How big is the download size?
@autumn dew A better way to ask that might be "Since you have now implemented regional pricing for Intrepid Packs in EU, when will South America and it's highly volatile, unstable, multiple countries be shown some love? People in Venezuala are undergoing 1000% inflation, will Ashes offer a daily sub plan in Bolivar?"
I highly doubt that
The experience progression in the BR mode will be the same during the Beta ? (3.3 K xp for 1 lvl) Or it's just for the tests and the experience will be progressive in function of the level ?
@gaunt mortar good question. I assume it will be progressive but I think it’s unknown atm
They said battlepass will cost 10$ for 21 skins, can we see the skins?
And the skins are for the mmorpg?
you can see the skins yes, and yes they are for the MMORPG
When you login to the game, there is a button called "Adventure Path" in the top
In there you can see the skins in the Legendary Path, and click then and equip them to see how they look.
@torn jolt
That's sound more logic, leveling is pretty fast actually ^^ @cobalt zephyr
i just downloaded the launcher. can i download the client despite the server being down? cause i cant log in
Nope
then no
ok ty 
@crystal beacon #server status for those who get email. December 18 for all registered
@cobalt zephyr thanks, i got an email inviting me 4 days ago for Apocalypse but haven't had time to get online. So if server is up, that invitation should still work?
If you received an email, that means that your specific email address has been added to the list of authorized testers before the 18th. As mentioned above, keep an eye on server-status and attempt the process outlined in your email when servers are available.
@crystal beacon yes
Thanks folks
Hey guys. Will we get a new email on the 18th when apocalypse launches containing account info etc?
on the 18th it will be free to play all you need is to be registered on the ashes site
youll be using your own credentials no additional information needed
"As we march into 2018, we’ll be detailing each of the eight Base Classes, and all 64 of the combined classes with brief rundowns of their lore, skills, and mechanics" @idle siren December 15, 2017. It's been a year as of today, is there any chance we can get an update that way we have something to sit around and theory craft with 😃
"Development is fluid!" is a more recent quote.
@glass swallow why not just use bots people select their language then those language specific channels appear so its not so cluttered.
Will the 18th still be an BR mode?
yes
Any date of when we get more content?
Apocalypse is Battle Royal for now until Siege mode is tested itll be added to apocalypse for everyone and finally horde mode will be tested and join the rest
Ohh i see
the actual mmo testing is going to be further tested in alpha 2 which you will need a pass for
Hi , I had a question regarding that
I live in India so I want to play on eu server and have to access the game (when release ) from my.com will I have any problem regarding it except for the ping
Hope you understand my question
You shouldnt have any problems gaining access to the game
And one more question when the game will be released we have to pay approximately 15$ per month so when the servers will go live how will all that process take place like I guess we first have to pay then it allows us to download it then play (I am a new MMORPG player )
Sorry for making it too long
That isnt confirmed, as well as the fact that you're using my.com, but you'll probably be able to make your account and download the game, but wont be able to play until you pay the subscription
and im assuming you're referring to the official launch that is supposed to be released "before 2020"
Yeah
Yes, there is no box cost, so there is also no plan to offer a "free month with purchase" that was the industry standard in the last decade or so. You will be able to download the client and once your subscription is active...play.
Thanks for answering my questions
👍
was it mentioned what age rating ashes will have?
They have mentioned they are aiming for a Mature rating however the final decision is not up to them
I see, thanks
are the servers up for testing right now or will they come online later in the day ?
@fiery crypt The last we heard was there was a 95% chance of testing today. They will announce if the servers are up.
Anyone know if it's true that all progress and rewards from questing will be reset on the 18th?
That should all be reset on the 18th - The current accounts are 'test' accounts
Ok, thanks... Also, do you know if, on the 18th, the Embers (which are "test" Embers now) will become "real", meaning they'll be ones from packages that were purchased?
That's the goal at least
OK, good to know, thanks again.
i need help here
i cant seem to be able to install the game everytime the server are up...
why arent we able to install while server are down.... its ridiculus!!
plus i need to restart the installation everytime they come back up
same here but its only a testing phase atm, just gotta grin and bare with it
This may be offtopic (not related to the game) but does anyone know a good slick gaming keyboard? I want something low profile to give to my friend for the holidays. Any feedback will be helpful! thank you
G910 is my personal recommendation
I just use mechanical keyboards corsair has
Anyone know what the darkpact buff does for you?
Oh, ok, so that would be good to have at the end of the game, as it's closing-in?
I like
It doesnt stop the damage 100% anymore, it's just a 50% storm damage reduction
We'll be updating the BR guide on Monday right before Apocalypse goes live with all the changes
Will be there testing tonight ?
Yes
Anyone know the last day to upgrade kickstarter bundle?
Yeah, but there was a recent change to it, so you take half damage from the storm instead of none.
@queen holly yeah I noticed that tome and catfall felt a bit off when last I played. Also felt it was easier to catch people trying to jump away with catfall
Personally Im glad they balanced things out. Tome spam in last circle was so tedious with the sound and screenshaking. If you got hit first with it you were pretty much dead
And wheres my glorious tester role? : ( All that effort staying up till 3am to test it posting bugs. No love for us A2 players. 
Im not stupid I know that.
will there be any testing within the next hour?
@crystal beacon I asked the magic 8-ball. “Chances are slim” was it’s response 😂
thanks 😄
You're sure today we will test the game ?
Nobody's sure of anything
hello, so i purchased the expeditionary pack today and i try to log in on the new site and it says unregistered tester email even though its the same email of the account i bought the pack with today
i also cannot log in on the launcher
anyone know why?
Email list already made before today, meaning your email is most likely not registered yet as part of the testers
Don't know if B1 testers have all gained access yet eitehr tho tbh 
@echo spindle Contact support and send a ticket to push your access through faster
oh ok
@boreal abyss all alpha and beta have been invited to test now. Theres a Steven quote out there
ty
StevenLast Wednesday at 8:31 AM
@everyone Testing is now open for Alpha and Beta users in Apocalypse.
is the apocalypse going to be available for anyone registered or do i have to register again or download somewhere
@lament bough If you have an AoC account on the website, you're all set
They have stated multiple times that if you are already registered you have to do nothing, but then again "development is fluid" has also been stated
thanks ,im very excited
Hey guys, just downloaded the apocalypse launcher i got in my email awhile back, set up the account but my log in wont work
wait nvm I think i got it
Disregard! 😄
<@&257269635559194625> When 18 December will come you gonna update the whole game again ?
I am asking cause I don't know if updating it is worth it if in the 2 days I am gonna update it again
Hey, has anyone tried running it on wine?
I think I'll give it a shot tomorrow
i heard the battle royal is going to be a stand alone game... is this true?
and is it free?
and when?
Does anyone know if spells will progress visually when you get stronger? I think it would be weird if a level 1 and the level 50 mage both cast lighting bolt and it looks the same.
You will have more sparkles
so where do i sign up for apoc? is it different then registering on website?
I can't login. Doesn't accept my account details. This is the open test right?
i think its closed testing until the 18th
Will there be a pet class that functions like a hunter who takes beasts to help in his hunts/fights?
@gilded flame yes, it's F2P - It has some Free rewards for playing, there's also a 'legendary path' unlock where you can pay money to unlock even more rewards - December 18th
@shy ridge Summoners are a pet class
@stark pike Just need to be registered on the website to be registered for APOC (Website is currently undergoing upgrades, and may experience some outages)
okay cool i just wanted to make sure
anyone else getting "failed, network error" when trying to install the launcher from the link in the apoc channel?
@neat lotus if your using google chrome, click arrow next to dl and click resume
ahhh, had to hit it more then once but seems to be working so far... i have gotten further than before ...thank you
np
When can we download the open beta for Apocalypse? I know it starts 18th, but any chance we can download the game prior to this?
When can we download the open beta for Apocalypse? I know it starts 18th, but any chance we can download the game prior to this?
My download stopped at 94% i restarted and it went back to 94% and hangs. Has any one finished?
I have problem with unlocking legendary path stuck in it forever. Also every time I log in into the game I have pop up about receving embers from reaching lvl 6 but nothing happend at all.
@native osprey That's more of something for #alpha_bugcrash_reports
^
Sorry
Common issue @umbral panther See #apocalypse_test_help_faq
Hey my patcher got to 99.9% complete finished then went all the way down to 0%
should I exit out and re open
Give it a few @dusk gale
They are working on a hotfix, but that is common. Mine 99.99 then 0 every time before turning into a launch button.
o oki
@crystal beacon that's probably normal tonight
Should stick at 0 for a bit @crystal beacon
yesterday was the same 😦 moment i finish installation server went down
Then convert to launch button.
Is anyone elses' launcher stuck at 95.16%?
How is yours @dusk gale ?
See above messages @clear obsidian
Also check #apocalypse_test_help_faq
I launched
@empty girder fun part, i finish donwloading patch and it request another 16gb ))))))
Does it ever start downloading or does it just stay at 0%? @crystal beacon
stays 0 for 8 minutes now
i just gonna delete the game and do fresh install
always help
Hey guys, with the class list, Is it top row being base then down subclass or down base then across being subclass?
I delete after every test. But I have decent download speeds. Hope yours are good as well.
Base on left. Top is sub @fathom raft
already 15%
thank you
Nice. Fingers crossed @crystal beacon 🤞
Do i need an invite link to play rn?
What is this test for exactly? pvp
@crystal beacon you must have invite credentials to play until the 18th when it opens to general public
rip me then 😦
i did already
The primary purpose of testing is to test the combat system
You in Queue @tulip hatch ? I’m at 10+ minutes.
What queue should I do? or does it matter
can i still get an invite to play rn? :d
ii gave up after 20min queu
@dusk gale "The benefit of the Apocalypse testing period with the limited scope of these 3 game modes, is the ability to collect much needed data with regards to;
Server Architecture, Server Stability, Server Deployment, Large Scale Battle Optimization, Action-Combat Designs, Castle Siege Design, AI and Boss Designs, Character Asset Polish, Environment Optimization, Account Management Deployment, Launcher/Patcher Deployment
While all of these features are further tested through our Alpha and Beta schedules, the ability to deploy Apocalypse with the Battle Royale, Castle Siege and Horde modes available provided great opportunity for refinement before the Alpha and Beta periods that does not impact our development schedule of the MMORPG"
😮. @stable plover The true OG
20 min
Thank-you! Just curious I am really excited about this game
@stable plover Can i still get somehow an invite or do i have to wait until the 18th? 
tonight is probably really more about testing the servers/launcher/patcher than it is the pvp itself even
@crystal beacon do you happen to have an ASUS Aura?
I do
Nice did something, now have different error but it’s the one explained in the faq thanks
Question about nodes, imagine my node is lvl4 and we are under a zone of influence by a node lvl6 metropolis. Am I than a Citizen of that metropolis? And able to Run for mayor, Freehold etc?
I believe you choose your citizenship.
But I suppose you could choose citizenship of the metropolis and attempt to become mayor. Different types of progressions to mayor though based on the type of node.
anyone got in a game yet?
No @novel copper
Thanks, so later in game with 5 Metrópolis, each influencing 1/5 of tbe map, there Will be basicaly 5 factions
I would say yes. But don’t hold me to it.
How long do I have to get all the rewards in the path
10 weeks
Ok so i've been seeing several people streaming Ashes...so is there no NDA? If so does that mean we are allowed to stream with impunity?
NDA went away awhile ago.
basketball swish sound Ty.
I cant still the launcher because it tells me that something else is installing when there is nothing else
I’m still working my way slowly through past Live Streams @faint fjord , but the AoC Wiki has tons of information.
The only things under NDA embargo is previous A0 visuals and footage. Can discuss anything, just no images or footage from under NDA time.
May have a ghost copy running in background @odd gust Open task manager and kill everything <@&257269635559194625> and reopen.
I had to do this and restart pc a few times to kill all.
also remember to terminate xdelta in task manager
if you have problems opening launcher
How do i do that
☝🏼
I cant find xdelta
Ooh. I’m connecting.
Is there another name for it
Give the old pc and restart if it’s not there
any acchievment for falling from the castle roof?
lol
bad landing
Still having the same error 🤬
You restart pc @odd gust ?
Yes sir
I tried alt tabbing closing other things
I used the task manager and i dind find xdelta
I dont know what to do at this point
That was like the fourth time that i restared
What does your launcher say when you start it?
I cant still the launcher
If I were in your shoes. Clean install
Step 1: Close game launcher
Step 2: Open your file explorer
Step 3: In the file explorer address bar, type %programfiles% then press enter and delete Intrepid Studios folder
Step 4: Next go to %appdata% and delete Intrepid Studios Launcher and intrepid-launcher folders
Step 5: Next go to %localappdata% and delete APOC folder
Step 6: Clean directory where you installed the game
Step 7: Download the new launcher and follow the automated download process
what do you mean still?
i am in the lobby how do i start the game?
Is there a way to lock the camera behind my head? And is the gameplay only up for PvP.
I finished a match but no progress
Okay i did all of that and deleted everything and restarted the latop let see what happens
Is there a direct link to version 1.03
@serene sparrow progress/stat tracking is buggy
@sand ether Only BR PvP atm, a PvE mode won't be up until late March for A1 backers, or about 30 days after that for everyone
What does BR mean? And why are you taking so long on the non pvp? Oh and what about locking the camera? I really don't like motion sickness and the camera is not helping.
Battle Royale
Okay guys i tried everything i dont know what to do at this point 😭😭😭
This is frustrating
It's easier to develop 1 area with a couple of skills
Do I have to finish the match to get the progress of the path
What is the difference between queueing squad and queueing solo? I'm pretty sure you end up in the same session anyways
did you delete the old launcher stuff
I just uninstalled deleted everything and reinstalled then got above
So , no instruction on how to play. No idea how to get anything done and when I got killed because I was trying to watch people to figure things out the game glitched and tagged me onto the guy that killed me instead of letting me sign out of the match.
And still no response on if we will be able to lock cameras so they don't move with the mouse.
@crystal beacon try going into %appdata% and %programfiles% and delete all AOC stuff
@sand ether We do not know yet but im sure camera customization will be a thing
Still very Alpha @sand ether we all had to learn as we go, but there are a few fan-made guides I’ve been told.
Clean install
Step 1: Close game launcher
Step 2: Open your file explorer
Step 3: In the file explorer address bar, type %programfiles% then press enter and delete Intrepid Studios folder
Step 4: Next go to %appdata% and delete Intrepid Studios Launcher and intrepid-launcher folders
Step 5: Next go to %localappdata% and delete APOC folder
Step 6: Clean directory where you installed the game
Step 7: Download the new launcher and follow the automated download process @crystal beacon
Thank you. That is actually important. Both of those things. Especially since there does not seem to be a way to talk to people in the game and ask.
Left Alt is default voice chat, but not many talking in my experience
@empty girder Will give it a shot thanks
Worked for me back on my first try. Now I uninstall after every test and ready for new launcher. Good luck @crystal beacon
My patcher has been stuck at 94.07 for a bit. Wats a reasonable time to wait before doing anything
@blazing orchid @idle siren Hey guys i was directed here to try to get an invite to apoc, i have a backer package but never got an email
@hardy bluff just leave it to run should work its self out
Do the paths start now or do they start on the 18th?
Ok
18th @serene sparrow
Ty
@grim cairn if you didn't get an email you need to wait until 18th
oh nozzz
@empty girder Thank you
Has there been any mentions on how long the servers will be up this go around?
any information life that is usually put on the server-status tab, so nothing yet so i believe
are people getting in game?
I know the patching is pauzing at 97%, but what if it has been paused at 64.72% for a while
3rd time downloading game here, this time i'm stuch at 0% on patching, did this last time but just seems a longer wait this time round
how long have you been at 64%?
A while, I restarted, now sitting at 0 as well, maybe patch servers are down?
@crystal beacon did it go through download and then back to 0, or did it never move from 0?
Yo, hasn't moved
Mine hasnt moved from 0 for 10+ minutes
so can we actually queue "solo" or it is only squads ?
Solo or squads.
Also I had to restart launcher a couple times to get my download to start @crystal beacon @rigid pecan
@rigid pecan @empty girder not sure if it was a coincidence but i restarted launcher a couple times, the second time in administrator mode and in started patching
it*
How do you either buy or earn embers?
Ha. Admin mode. Should have suggested it first actually.
So what are the mins req to play the game when it comes to graphics
I don’t think they have an official min yet @odd gust
I am back to redboxes on login. Uninstalled gmae, deleted game folder and %appdata% folders. Redownloaded launcher and still same issue with redboxes
Well once i get into the game it kinda looks shitty idk how i am trying to fix it
Like my latop can run black desert just fine
Just move resolution to lowest setting and each graphic setting down. Work your way up til you find beat your rig can do.
As a player of BDO myself, i wouldn't compare in game of AoC just now to anything. Too early and expect substantial improvement as the game progresses
is there voice chat in game?
Left Alt @woeful atlas but it hasn’t worked for me tonight.
I am saying i should be able to play in a somewhat high graphics but not even
i dont need to enable it anywhere or something?
game optimising can make a big difference, expect your computer will play higher settings as time goes on.
@empty girder not happening for me, seems i dont have the anti_cheat file. No exe in folder... i feel like i deleted it before my clean install...
is the latest launcher 1.0.103?
latest yes
how are the pve gears differ from other mmo? is it crafting? Grinding? Etc.
There’s a fix. 🙂 @crystal beacon did you check in #apocalypse_test_help_faq
If you need to replace parts of easyanticheat, download this and place it in the easy anticheat folder generated by APOC, deleting the existing contents of that folder:
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/485183380842086420/522228888664014848/EasyAntiCheat_Setup.exe
Then run it and click through the repair process.
Okay so the exe file was missing to do that solution I repaired my launcher and it brought the exe back
See if that helps.
Delete those files and use the exe I just posted.
Something else is causing it
Hmmm. I haven’t dealt with that error yet.
funny i found your link through google ^^
Lol
but repair laucher was the solution
Awesome.
to return the .exe
Hopefully see you in game soon.
hmm
not fixed yet though still as picture above. will see what else i can try, thanks for help so far!
@stable plover said something about ASUS Aura being a problem but i disabled it i feel its something to do with this
Stopped the service “lightingservice” was the solution
😃
I am still getting redboxes on login screen. Reinstalled launcher, deleted app data folder and regular folder before reinstall
Still redboxing me on login, any ideas
Have you tried pressing the repair button within the launcher?
@hushed hinge you the one getting all these killstreaks?
Yeah, it's me
@crystal beacon I cant even get past login
Couple matches now seeing you clean up.
@rigid pecan just checking you did say you got email for alpha test yeah?
Yes, I did. I actually had 0 problems first 2 days of testing
havent been able to get in since
I have unistalled game, deleted game folder, and deleted folder in %appdata% I even chaged my PW to be sure and I reinstalled the launcher via the link Steven provide in the FAQs section
Still a no go, I get redboxes at login
%appdata% flies definitely deleted before reinstall?
Correct, multiple times too
Wish I could help more
so is apocalypse open to everyone...? because im waiting for my email to confirm
Not until the 18th
oh okay
it wasn't very clear, many others told me they were invited by email already
also considering my internet speed, i wished to download the game before end, because it will take probably 30+ hours x)
thx for telling me @tulip hatch
Yes more testers were invited prior to the 18th
but 18th is when its open for everyone without invite c:
i have the problem that i cant login. what should i do? i played during previous weeks and it hasnt told me to reinstall the game in the mails
@ruby lintel what particular error is it giving you on not being able to log in?
Is the health potion supposed to heal 4 times or just once? It says 1/3 but disappears after the first sip.
@ruby lintel red boxes mean your patcher isn't communicating properly with server - maybe it's windows defender, not running as admin, an outdated patcher, a VPN program, firewall, or antivirus
@floral hazel I think 1/3 means you could stack 3 health potions into 1 inventory slot that each heal once
Gotcvha ty
@stable plover i played like a week ago and the emails didnt tell me to reinstall or anything
Steven's advice - If you are unable to login to the patcher, with valid credentials, delete the intrepid studios launcher and intrepid launcher folders in your %appdata% folder and run the installer again. - could help fix some red box situations depending on the underlying issue
@ruby lintel what patcher version are you on?
Also is the in-game chat not working for everyone? It works in the lobby, but then when you get in the game, it doesn't work.
@stable plover 1.0.75.0
@ruby lintel If you are not running the Launcher version 1.0.103 (bottom right corner of the screen):
- Reinstall the launcher from https://intrepid-patch2.azureedge.net/intrepid-launcher/InstallIntrepidLauncher.exe. You do not need to remove old versions
thanks ill try that!
#apocalypse_test_help_faq new troubleshooting advice channel from devs
So question to anyone making the game, will there be something that'll help prevent teaming in solo matches? or a way to report people once the game is done like in PUBG or fortnite...?
How long does the unpacking usually take? Been on it for >5 mins now
@stable plover you asleep?
is the game still at alpha 0 phase ?
Yes
no
?
Alpha 1 isn't live yet
I played the game when the testing began and for some reason
as I open the launcher today, it's reinstalling/downloading everything
?
does anyone know how i can get the stress test login info again? deleted my email by mistake and when i log into the site from same email i had to register again and its just a profile screen with nothing else?
that is how the profile page is right now.
when will you be able to download the game?
anyone know if solos will be available when the game goes open for everyone on the 18th?
Hey, I'm having an issue with the Alpha on my Desktop: Error 30007 (Easy Anti-Cheat cannot run if Driver Signature Enforcement has been disabled)
I've rebooted twice and checked thrice, disabled-the-disable explicitly: nointegritychecks No
Did you try all the easyanticheat solutions in #apocalypse_test_help_faq ? @fluid knot
the faq didn't mention my errorcode so I didn't see it...
but I've run the repair now and it still gives me the same error. 
I have one more thing to try: maybe they mix "driver signing" with "test signing" even though the error message doesn't mention test signing...
reboot, brb.
ah, indeed. not driver signing, test signing.
👍🏼
Hey, im beta 2 participant, and email says that we will have legendary path unlocked for more rewards
but the exodus "unlock this chapter" button doesnt seem to work
Wait, is Apocalypse staying Free-To-Play after the 18th? (as in, it starts on the 18th, and continues)
whens the next beta? gonna pick up the game next few days and the "2moth subscription" is that from purchase or when the game releases?
@west heath Yes, 18th Dec and onwards it will be open for everyone to play for free
@sand cedar if you are refering to the Pre-Order pack beta, it is in Q4 2019, so in a year
i thought it was always gonna be sub
cool just checking i been tricked b4 lol
You are refering to the pre-order pack yes? 
i bought 6 month subscription that i played 10 days when the servers was live... but 6 months gone was pissed
yes
Intrepid isn't counting testing periods as actual game time 😛
The servers will be live 24/7 (minus eventual issues that needs to be fixed) after the 18th
This is for Apocalypse, not Ashes of Creation itself tho 😛
i thought i had done alot of reserch aparently not lol
they have, it's alpha 0 apocalipse
so whats apocalpyse then? lol
Apocalypse is a game mode that was designed to test some of the systems that are used in the MMO
Like the networking backend for the servers etc
like a heavy stress pvp battleground or something?
It contains 3 modes, Battle Royale (which it has now), Castle Sieges (which will be in the MMO, not available yet) and Horde Mode (PvE Sieges, which will be in the MMO, not available yet)
Yes, basically 😛
Castle Sieges and Horde Mode as I mentioned 😛
so for the time being "apoc mode" will be f2p to all players, then closed later and opened to subscribers with full game?
always f2p
hmmmm so the pvp side will always be free and subs get the full game?
personally I think this is a great way to let ppl tests some of the MMO aspects a bit, without giving them like a trial period (Less bots \o/)
im subbing anyway just wanna know lol
oh, i just heard it was subscription, figured it would just be a pay or fuck off kinda deal lol
so they making a limited for f2p then? or sub more of a "VIP"?
As I said, you can only play the MMO if you subscribe 😛
f2p is teh Apocalypse standalone part 😛
sry i missed the "you just cant play without a sub" lol thats why i was confused
so you can download just locked without a sub, but the apoc mode always availble to all xD i think i got it
Basically, yes 😛
sounds interesting, so the toxic f2p pvpers wont be in the main game with us yay lol
they still have to deal with the Corruption and Flagging systems tho
cool, i mean i will be buying the preorder and subbing, even when its a VIP bonus thing i always get it to support the devs
but good to know i can still try out the pvp and see if i wanna bother with that lol i used to LOVE pvp but p2w and cash botters really ruined it for me
There is no P2W in Ashes tho 😉 @sand cedar
yer i mean other games
Just making sure you know 😂
still a few ppl who think ashes will be p2w out there so 
i LOVED pvp in hero online (korean mmo for like 15 yrs ago) till they ruined it, then neverwinter was awesome .... till they ruined it lol
well to be honest were all skeptical coz many say they wont be but p2w is different in peoples minds
IE, to me p2w is can you buy anything in game to give advantage.... IE faster xp, mats to build ya weapon faster, better mounts, even gold bots to buy tons of in game gold
p2w is not always a devolpers fault
alot think of it more like no you cant buy any awesome weapons from cash store so its not p2w, or you CAN get all that in game with afew hundred hours of grinding in suicidal grinding lol
Thats why ppl got Steven to clarify that "XP boost is pay to win" 😉
yea i heard him talking on steam i was cheering him on lol
i mean i dont mind too much if its like 10% xp boost on VIP, coz thats a nice boost but not game breaking, but all the buy max char, or pay to unlock all perks shit is too far
yh I know, but if we're gonna discuss the game more lets take it to #aoc-discussion 😉
i tend to get really bored of mmos these days coz there all fun till you hit max lvl then you just have grind the game 6 dungeons over and over to increase item level for no reason lol
yer good idea
Hey guys, sorry to bother you. This question has already be asked but I'm still in doubt.. The embers that we have now are from what I understand, embers from the packs we purchased. Though will they be added / discounted in the MMo or will it be another currency system?
Also, since by leveling we can earn Embers, does that mean someone who for example finishes the level cap and recieves all the ember rewards, will they be transfered to their mmo subscription account even though they did not purchase a pack?
@rich cape Yes embers you earn will be usable in the MMO aswell
The embers right now are not the ones you already own, the Embers that will be in the store in Apoc will be what you already own on the 18th
So the 200 embers avaliable now are not the ones I have previsously purchased from the store for the mmo game is that it ?
Indeed they are not
they are just there for testing purposes atm
everyone has them 😛
wait wat u have 200? ... i only got 100
server are up for the next 12 hours
i got 0
Hmmm interesting that not everyone has the same amount
What are those "embers i can see in the client"? You see i'm simply concerned that I already backed this game nearly 2 years ago paying about 40$, hoping it would be a full game with no content locked behind pay walls
@white granite @haughty linden did you purchased any packs ?
I purchased the $375 pack
same here
thats a LOT of money
@digital briar It will be, the embers are purely for cosmetics purpuses
embers are their cash shop currency
so no content is locked behind paywalls
only skins
there no games i like playing and this on interested me a lot so i payed to play it as soon as possible lol
@digital briar It's an investement yes, but it's my choice of support for the devs
@digital briar
refresh the queue after 10m.. it like to put u in a back log and forget about u
everytime i stop it and refresh the searching after 10m i find a match within 1-2m
i've seen some level up rewards being locked behind embers
For the Apocalypse content maybe
oh
Keep in mind that the Apocalypse is free to play ^^
If you hover over it one of the for instance say "50% Exp in Solo"
Nothing to be sorry about
btw is anyone else mission item in the shop.. yesterday there was like 10 pages of items and the black griffin was in there but right now i only have like 3 pages of items and the black griffin is no longer there?!
missiong*
omg!
u get wat im saying!
oh okay my guess is that the store is probably bugged then.. especially when considering that i see the white griffin able to be bought when i thought that was suppose to be a battle pass item only
Remember theres alot of placeholder stuff to test systems ready for the 18th.
Alot wont make sense at this present time
How to toggle cursor
Is anyone able to get embers or buy anything in the shop?
How long are the servers up and running still?=
about 8 hours left i think 😄
I was waiting 20 minutes for solo on EU, trying squads now
i gave up on only EU queue at 15 mins, added US, queue popped just now on 8 mins. dont know if its EU or US, ill check ping...
lol i was waiting less then 5 minutes
16ms ping, likely EU server I joined
I'm gonna queue on both aswell then, cuz just wanna try it!
were the hell do i download the apoc client lol keeps asking me to log in but im already logged in
kinda weird being it sunday morning in EU
but yeah 45min in solo queue EU
looks more like the solo queue server crashed ?
guess they have issues with the matchmaker atm, or maybe there are less ppl playing than originally thought
So my download went from 99 % to 0%.. hmm.. and now it does not move.. did any1 else encounter this?
you would expect that with 10 people or so you already would be put in the waiting world. So yeah guessing match making server problems or the gameserver for solo itself
@toxic bear restart the launcher
what wich the abilty suddenly getting all dark
Miasma bow
Who are sitting in queue right now?
it should get nerfet no fun when screen its to dark
60m in solo eu queue but i'm guessing that one is busted :p
Check both, I got on EU in 8 minutes
Are all game modes live?
i got in 2 min
😦 think my queue is busted then
anyone one want to team up
Dat name tho
why do everyone like thits name
I have updated the launcher and game, I can login, I can choose a server, I can select as game mode but I never get into it, I just watch the timer counter ticking ....
oy
😃
may i ask where i can find info about open beta at 18 december?
if i have registered i iwll be able to play at that date or they will choose people?
every registered person will be allowed to play after it opens
cool. one last question. download link will be available at 18 december or i can download it already from somewhere?
Download information should be emailed to you on or before that date
is the unlock chapter button in game supposed to do anything or?
well then it seems i have to wait more cause i dont have any link on my email yet
i believe it is not functional at this time, but im not 100%
kk
@raw grove this period of testing is for A1-B2 testers
all registered users will receive an email in due time, but if you installed now you most likely would have to delete and reinstall for launc
oh i understand. thank you very much
hi, is it possible to pre-dl the apocalypse game? if it'sn where can i find it? tjx a lot 😃
Since its almost 18, whats the game size as of now?
Unsure if there will be a massive patch on the 18th, but as of people playing right now in the testing, the files are 18ish gb total for the BR Apoc
Oh
Seems that i might play the game atleast a day later thanks to my slow internet
Does the game lag sensitive?
All multiplayer games are effected by latency, the worse your latency the worse the experience
I received the email email @cobalt zephyr I'm b2 but I can't login from the Launcher. The boxes where I am to put my username and password get red lines instead
Check your firewall
Aside from clearing the programdata folder they suggest, I got the same thing whilst the launcher was being blocked by my firewall
We need <@&257269635559194625> to post an IP and port range used so we can configure our firewalls properly!
Does XP work at all? How do I finish the quests?
auto finish at the end of a game
ello 😃 Does anyone know if I need a group to play in the Apocalypse Alpha (16 Dec)? Everytime I press Ready, I drop out of the queue after 10secs
just to make sure, I don't think I've connected my testing account to my ashes of creation kickstarter account. I registered it with the email I used for my original account, but when I log into the site, it shows no record of me having a testing account, nor ingame is there any indication that I have kickstarter benefits.
I understanbd that names from the testing dont carry over to beta
Are bows going to have an effective range put on them? Currently you can be halfway across the map and kill people with them
Are there any ppl qing up for EU? Can't find a match
well I know but I dont want to play with 400ms delay, at least once 😄
what why?
im in for eu....
my launcher patched only to 94,07% and stopped then doing anything, anyone knows what i could do, uninstall and a new try?
was playing the past 3 weekends on US and it was super delayed
no just wait, its noraml
@crystal beacon just wait it is an indication error
i got this too
ok, danke, i will wait
ahh auch deutsch? 😄
ahaa ja wenn du so heftigen ping hast, was haste denn für eine internetleitung mal so zum vergleich ?
hmm ne das sollte reichen
gut ich hab 100k aber gut ;D
ich kann heute aber keine erfahrung und quest abschließen , hat da noch einer Probleme?
ging die letzten 3 wochenende auch nicht^^
i just came from work and wanna try the game first time^^
doch bei mir ging das aber die letzten 3 test immer
@crystal beacon wollen wir sonst zusammen nach einem eu server gucken
gl euch
Alisha doesn't wanna join for EU squads?
still on 97,07
i mean 94.07^^
I just posted something on the forums, but I can't find where it went
Do I have to wait for it to be reviewed and approved?
Are keybinds still bugged or can you change them?
@crystal beacon did you check alpha bugcrash report channel?
@muted lichen sometimes posts get flagged due to frequent editing or some other reason. You will need to wait for a mod to approve it, yes. If you ask nicely Lex may take the time :)
i think i just need wait, it went to 94,07% pretty fast, if in 30 min it doesnt move then i go to all the bugcrash stuff 😃
kk
Maybe because I tried to edit it to add a tag, thanks!
Hey, I can't register to the apocalypse beta, could anyone help?
It doesn't let me login because my email isn't verified even though I verified it
When I try to re resend the verification email it tells me it's already veryfied
Anyone else stuck at patching 0% complete, states starting patching the just says patching on bottom I am running launcher 1.0.103
so my launcher keeps stopping at 94% which is this i believe but it's been there a few hours and im wondering if there is somthing i can do to speed it up?
@woeful root Try running launcher as administrator and give it few minutes
ok ty
how do i get embers ?
@magic magnet that worked now just waiting for the last 4 % to load TY
@gray burrow I had the same problem, after just closing it about 6 times or so it finally went all the way to 100%
kk
@magic magnet did you close launcher and tried to get past the 94.07 percent
whats the fastest mode for Q times?
So. my launcher doesnt get any further than "Not Installed and Idle" It doesnt even get to "Patching". So basically, my game wont install and whenever it finishes, it just starts again...
restart
@ebon pond did you try running it as admin?
I've restarted several times, yes i've runned it as admin
hmm, thats all Ive got, last weekend I wasn't able to get the game to DL either
Does anybody know the adress of the NA servers (for ping purposes)
@crystal beacon still stuck?
are we able to download the open beta yet? I have the launcher but no DL. Looks like the account signin is for alpha only?
@cunning jewel not able to DL the open beta if you don't already have play access atm
thx, any idea when we can? Was hoping to preload it
Hey so how long does it take to find a game ? just downloaded the test and been waiting for 10 mmin
around 11 for my first match
how long are server up
sounds like 1PM CST
How do I get into the Apocalypse stress test chat?
if you upgrade to the A1 tier packs you gain access to the NDA channels
rip :\
this is just BR, im guessing they gonna realease the proper game which is the GUILD mode right ?
The proper game is the MMORPG
What is A1 tier pack? And how do you upgrade to it (I am Settler)
so when is the release date of the proper game
@tulip hatch I know that one but what is A1 tier Pack?
Alpha 1 testing is in Q2 of 2019
Full Launch is currently planned for before 2020
Trow Braver of Worlds
Ahh Alpha 1😩
when does the apcolypse thing start for everyone?
Got confused. Thought A1 had something to do with Apo 😳
Anyone managed to get in on EU?
I just wanna know how long i am supposed to sit in a queue
someone remind me when apo is starting for everyone?
@abstract stirrup Trying EU or NA?
Both?
Yeah just check both. If it takes to long try and restart. Only took me like 7 min last time to get in on NA
Apocalypse is open for all registered users on the 18th
18? ty
Jesus, seven minutes better be good.
Never go onto EU. Max wait I did was 84 min, now I have waited 21 on EU
Think it is a myth
They just smacked it up there
to make fun of us
oh shit something happening Connecting.
😃
is there anyway i can change the games resolution because it wont fit on my screen? also how do i search for a game if i can invite people i must be able to search for a game?
Where can I find a link to the launcher to download apocalypse for the 18th? ty
ok thanks will give it a try
Heya, I'
I'm a kickstarter backer and think i am supposed to have legendary path access - anyoneknow how to unloc kthat
thanks mate, appreciate that
is it normal for the launcher to only download less than 5MBPS?
Why wouldn't it be? @lucid plover
I've just had some internet connection issues in general recently, just wondering
how do you get one of the orange/fire griffons in alpha vs. the bland brown one
@lucid plover that's a pretty average speed from the launcher, some people have gotten much higher/lower
Yea, i downloaded the game with 8mbps, but not everyone has the same internet connection.
Is it just me or does the ember shop not exist?
I don' think it's active yet
because when i want to unlock the legendary path it just says it cant find the ember shop
For the new legendary path can I unlock it if I buy the $375 bundle today?
Yea, i don't think it works properly yet. Better wait for the open beta to start first. @grave tinsel
@umbral stratus I think they mentioned giving the path for free to Alpha 1 backers but you will have to check that with the second last stream.
because I was planning on buying the bundle
Otherwiae you can buy it regardless of your account
No, its free for some of the backers. If you are not a backer of Alpha 1 i think or above you will have to purchase ot
oh so is the legendary path purchasable on release?
even if you don't have alpha 2+ acess?
access
It is purchaseable for everyone who wants to have more unlockable skins
regardless of backing
oh okay
check the last stream because i am not sure which grade they gave it for free to
you just get it for free if you purchase the bundles or if your a backer?
oh okay
A1 its free for life the rest a2-b2 get 1 month free
@umbral stratus what AmazonMom said 😊
awesome thanks guys!
anyone playing atm? Queue seems to be taking longer than normal
my q is 3-5min
@terse holly us is just waking up so that's normal i guess
i guess i m a bit blind , but where i can download apocalypse client ? didn t find it
From email you recieved, worked for me.
Is XP bugged currently? I got XP from one match and have stopped receiving XP
i think so my grandma has not been geting exp and i bought a pack and am still waiting on a email so i can start playing.
so its odd, i have bad frame rate when playing, but perfect framerate when specatating. anybody experience this?
@pearl oyster i think that is relatively normal. Like watching a movie compared to playing a game. While spectating it shouldn't really have issues with performance.
anyone playing?
either way my gpu is handling alot
anyone else not having their stats updated after a game?
just entered a game in full screen instead of windowed and it runs alot smoother actually
Relatively lower resolution.
@terse holly could be a bug or temporarily disabled.. post it in the bugs channel just in case
I did
@idle siren Will there be a public test realm after release for testing new changes before they go to love servers?
I assume that tmrw we will get a email about how to setup the beta acc? and will there be a preload?
@sturdy jackal Your beta account is your intrepid Ashes account. Not sure if you will need to setup anything. If there is an email it will probably go out on the 18th prior or on launch.
As to preload, can you elaborate?
Just this was abit curious i got this on the 9th but yea thats fine just got some friends who are curious
if it's alpha 0 atm, and there's alpha 2 in the $350 package now a beta test in dec 18, didn't the testing phase skip ??

Which was originally not part of Alpha, added for free, people complained, and now taken out of Alpha and named Apocalypse
so no, not in Alpha atm 
@west pilot beta for Apocalypse, not Ashes of Creation

My mans @hidden crane Just posted the listings for you 💁🏾
@west pilot Intrepid stopped selling A1 a few months ago is probably what your seeing
