After the rebrand of A1P1 to APOC A1 (formerly known as A1P2) doesn't start until Q2 of next year
have 8 more months to see updates before i spend $375
Do I need to hook up my kickstarter account to the apocalypse account to access the lifetime legendary path?
That will be done by intrepid for 12/18
hmm, I have to ask when can we play the necromancer ❤
man is anyone else having weird difficulty playing? I'll get on, find a few things, and when I try to defend against another player it does jack squat. I get downed in two hits, crawl around while my health drains without a means to get back up, and then its over
is there something i'm missing here?
Servers are still up ?
yep
my armor abilities never activate, my weapon abilities dont seem to function, im apparently just cannonfodder and its a bit confusing lol
yeah i have no idea whats going on, im getting attacked by people in groups who all appear to have like full armors on
gotta say its not that fun so far lol
i thought the servers would be down by now but yeah theyre up
Has anyone else been having troubles with the patching download this weekend?
Does the Discord overlay work in game?
no
Is it normal to have hard lags when i enter a combat?
hm this past round went a little better. I'm admittedly still unsure of using the equipment
the specials for the armors and boots dont activate even when i make sure i have mana
oh ive been having a weird issue where i can't use the armor/boot special effects and seem to deal no damage
go to inventory and drag+drop them to the empty spaces above
oh wait really?
OH
wow, well i feel dumb
thank you!!
i was wondering why my teammates had armor on their bars and i had none -_-
Omg ty I feel an idiot too
thank you Miro lol, welp im queueing back up to hopefully not noob it the hell up this time
Had the same issue at beginning 😄
hehe
welp thats what alpha is for
the road isnt paved for you, you figure it out
also if anyone is on right now and sees Mihaele, thats me
well, not RIGHT now right now. I'm still 4:40 into queue
So im assuming the adventures/achievements don't unlock yet? I've gotten the 'nowhere to hide' 40/40 object destroyed multiple times but i get no Embers or XP
I am always unlucky :/ My Team is always run away from me and i have to play alone :/
is the combat system gona change or is that whats its based on?
i love the game aesthatically
but the combat feels a bit dull
it almost feels like its just testing abilities via what you equip
and yeah i can tell the game is in rough graphic mode right now and i think it will be gorgeous in the full game
i like the graphics quality BUT i don diffrent zones have very diffrent vistas and vibe
they are pretty much similar
as much as iv seen
The grid for the game will be huge. It I’ve been underground, seaside and in other places scenery changes
oh wow i havent seen that
all i saw is grassy ground a trees on horizon
i want to see more varations
desert,beach,rocky
if u know what i mean
Is apocalypse already started? if so where can I DL the client
18th
Alright, thanks! then the client will come as well?
yeah. The client will be available for all guys then. There will be an announcement i think
wheres the %appdata# folder?
Anybody else having problems with quests not updating or reading anything you do in game?
Oh ok
Thanks
Hi all, wanted to know what type of controls will be available when this comes out on Dec. 18th. Will it be traditional tab target, action or hybrid of both? I know your eventually planning and testing for the latter. Also more specifically, will run with mouse be available on the 18th? I can't do this old school WASD Fps style. Thx in advance.
Ah ok thx. thought it was already partially hybrid. Is there controller support to go with the action combat then?
jahlon, taking on that, do you know if they will launch on consoles? PS4 already has mouse and keyboard support
😦 thanks
nice, i have hope than. PS and Xbox already have keyboard support now
there should be an option on gear to equip that way wasn´t need to drag them, that would make them faster to equip
if you select them with the number they are on your actionbar, you can equip them with LMB
thus that work to equip armor?
ok, tks
@flat marsh The devs have some internal stuff that is partially hybrid, but it'll be a while before the players do hybrid testing
lol damn i got to the end of the round, lagged as three folks attacked me, and just insta died XD
Servers still up?
same
servers up sitll been Q'd for 27 minutes
I can’t log in now. I was in earlier
im queu'd
I’m in now
Just closed out the game ... we were in queue for 40 minutes and nothing.
how do i download the game ?
If you received An email instructions are there. If not then you must wait for the open beta on 12/18
i just registered
@jaunty mantle https://intrepid-patch2.azureedge.net/intrepid-launcher/InstallIntrepidLauncher.exe - but you'll only be able to do anything with the patcher if you've got access
the only email i got was to activiate my account
@jaunty mantle activate a test account or the normal website account?
i think website how do i get a test account
If you don't already have an access granting package of some kind you need to wait until open beta starts in two days
@stable plover servers still live?. Sitting in Queue now.
Yeah. Went there @glass swallow as usual. But hasn’t been updated for almost 24 hours. Was surprised to see them live still. Just wanted to confirm.
gotcha, usually its got the latest
🤘🏽
Are beta backers allowed in the test yet?
The 18th is when it's open to everyone that hasn't already been in yet.
is there a way to download the game before that date?
i see, thank you for the reply!
Does anyone know who will publishing AoC in the Oceania region?
At this time intrepid is still intending to self publish, but that may be subject to change.
are there any gameplay videos on the castle sieges and horde mode?
Thanks @simple ether and @tulip hatch. I know they mentioned that they were looking to self publish but after they changed that to my.com in europe I was getting a bit worried about servers and such. I really hope they keep the idea to have servers in the oceania region, we get so screwed over with mmos in australia with lag and such so it would be nice to be able to play one that isn't wow.
is there any load up to download the game before the 18 of dec?
@elfin stratus https://youtu.be/59ih84Xh5E8?t=124 link to the footage we have of horde mode so far
@elfin stratus https://youtu.be/cJdPEoJx5Zs this video has some BR and Siege footage mixed together
@crystal beacon Not currently
@sharp garnet a bit late to answer, but it is probably random, I'm a beta backer and got into the test since the 11th, while I assume others haven't gotten access
Best way to know if you got access to the current tests is to check your mail
Otherwise everyone will have access on the 18th
is there no healers in apocalypse at all?
There will be for siege and horde modes
Those modes will have class kits to test
awesome
i only really wanna heal/support
oh alluring i was watching u earlier
i was the fart.
@tranquil torrent yea! but the Castle Siege and Horde modes won't be available on Dec 18th. so you'll have to wait a bit to play a healer
thats fine
Lmao
do u know if i'll be able to unlock the cosmetics through siege/horde?
Hmm i can't recall the specifics right now
But i believe that was the intention
hope so, i dont do well in BR lol
That was one of the main reasons for having it be across the other modes
But we'll have to wait for more info as we get closer to those modes being added
Hey guys ! I got an invite yet i cant seem to be able to connect on the launcher :( it says unrecognized tester email :( ive been so eager to play since the game was announced.Id be grateful if someone could help me connect or send me the correct authorization id need :D
anyone have fps drops when use the aim of the bow?
@simple ether yes im using same email,the one im using to connect on Ashes website
@simple ether. Well it says no instruction at all,it just says that Apocalypse will be playable on the 18th
Oh i dont have early access like you guys ?
Dammit ive been looking forward to this game,anyway i could play early ? Really active player here
^
Ahh aight then...and will it be one day only ?
i know, im in the same boat haha
otherwise, the most you can get is alpha 2 access. costs about $275 or s/t
nah, Dec 18th is open to everyone for ever
but people with earlier access will be able to test the NEW modes out early
For Apocalypse only right ? Not the real game ?
only Apoc. real game isn;t even close to ready to test
Br ?
battle royale
Apoc will have another 2 modes (Castle Siege and Horde) which will be playable later. however, people with earlier access will be able to test those way in advance
then a while after that, people with earlier access will be able to test the MMO alpha early too
Aight guys well thanks alot,gimme a headsup if you get any invite key ;) my buddies already paid for alpha year ago im eager to join them
im going to bed now, so 1 day man, 1 day
gn!
pce
Gn ! Cya guys
two questions. what time of day on the 18th will the download be available for apocalypse? also, will alpha 2 and the betas for the mmo be under NDA?
oh cool
i purchased the voyager pack and wanted to make sure i can share stuff of it when it becomes available
Has there been any mention about any enhancing systems to upgrade weapons and armor when the game is out? Many other mmos i have played have had them
@rich pecan yes. both horizontal and vertical progression systems are planned. however they'd like to avoid BDO levels of RNG so we'll see just how it works later down the line.
Ty exactly what i wanted to hear. I have raged so many times over the enhancing system in bdo @proven arrow
When exactly is apocalypse going live and will we be able to download it in advance, i thought someone said somewhere that we might be able to, ty if anyone knows
DEC 18th is the OPEN BETA launch of APOCALYPSE @feral ermine
do you happen to know what time of day it'll be O_o
Any suggestion why i can't change mause sensitivity Y?
@grave cypress try going down instead of up. it's reversed. i made that mistake
we'll try
Sorry to ask (maybe) stupid question: Is there any possibility to download AoC acopalypse yet? Or how does that even work when it comes (tomorrow)? There is only registeration button, but I have already registered long time ago and I can even login in apocalypse site, but cant find any download button yet... So, how & when I can download the apocalypse? Is there any help / introduction for that?
check your email bro
@grave cypress i have nothing about apocalypse in my email
but you propably have email from interpid studios there a link for downland
Ok, so I have to create interpid account ?
ye
ok... cool, I'll try that one. Thx
😃
@grave cypress It says I dont have valid email? So is it still for those who have bought some package?
noo
A
what time does open beta get released?
when i can start download apocalypse client?
When its ready
We don't have specific release time yet, only some time one the 18th. Keep checking your mails and #news
They're gonna tell you, when they're ready^^
@vapid glade I never asked a question I was responding to @umbral stratus question
has anyone else got this error while trying to create account in interpid webiste: "Unrecognized tester email"
anyone else having issues with the patcher not downloading?
are server up
#web-maintenance Servers are down for 8 hours, but launcher can still be downloaded
I tried to read the terms of use to create my account so I can try the game and I takes me to a page that is blank with links that do nothing? I am supposed to be able to play the beta test but do not want to agree to a blank page. Help , advise, is the link too old?
Testing Credentials:
If you have not already registered a temporary test account, you must register a test account using the email address you received this email at...
Instructions on how to set up your temporary testing account:
How to Register:
Step 1: Visit our website here:
will the game launch from unreal engine or do we just download from web lol
havent gotten download email yet so i dont know
Likewise... Got the email 2 weekend ago saying that there'll be more email with update before the 18 but I received nothing more...
@tall cedar use another browser
has anyone else got this error while trying to create account in interpid webiste: "Unrecognized tester email"?
Sportsbet servers are down right now. Do you have an Intrepid pack?
If I already have an existing account from before will I recieve info on how to download the game and stuff or I have to make a new account specifically for the Apocalypse Beta?
If you have an account from before do nothing until told to do so.
Sure. Ty!
i still havent got my email to setup my account for the event tomorrow
from Intrepid
i got the email that said " the thing starts on the 18th" and never got anything after that
did i miss something
where do i go to download the launcher and stuff
No further email has been sent. Look for another one once they turn on the servers for the "live" event.
so they havent sent any of the dl info out yet in emails
literally this starts tomorrow
They are literally going through new builds as we type. You would just have to delete the files (pain in the ass process currently) and download the new launcher and build. Be happy you arent in the last minute testing, there are builds every few hours atm.
No i would be happy to have some instructions on an event that starts tomorrow. What time this starts ? Is this under NDA? An end time ? Anything other than " Wait for another email " which i got last week
im planning on getting a last minute email less than 24 hours before an event
ill just plan to play something else with my time
Well, it is what it is. They are busy preparing the best experience they can for you. You are most likely going to get an email when the event starts, not before. If they continue on Steven time, that may be 11:59 PST on the 18th.
@thin turret this is an open beta not a Game Launch
Well, it is free. You get what you pay for.
It’s a preview of the mechanics of the game and the scenery with added bonuses that will carry to product release in 2020
Only beta/alpha testers will download it beforehand because we are TESTING it pre open beta
It's also a standalone gamemode now @cobalt zephyr
do you know how ridiculous that is
Yes, because invites are being sent out
Then
The build is still being worked on, constantly
So no point in sending it early
When it's gonna change
Yes I know this thank you
Yep, I did say that, but I have no more inside knowledge than you other than that I have been around with all previous phases of testing. That is what I am going off of.
All good bro, literally nothing we can do, everyone who isn't a tester will download at the same time
You're not special
@thin turret that is your Choice but please be Kind to those of us who stick it out no reason to be bitter
im saying its insane to send people emails to download a patch after an event has started
You had an email informing you of the Open Beta's start, that's your email.
All right, lets move it down to Discussion. Lets keep this one free of rants and bitches and get back to typing the same answer over and over.
If you already have the launcher it will auto update unless told otherwise.
I DONT HAVE THE LAUNCHER
literally i have nothing im trying to get info
no email...no launcher
WE KNOW, you arent intended to atm, unless you are a package holder
The instruction is for those with an account on the website already is wait for further instruction.
Bye, have a nice day.
are the servers gonna be up 24/7 for the open beta ?
as far as we know
noice
Please keep it polite and take this to #aoc-discussion
so server its live 24/7 18.12
Is there any counter till the launch of the game ? Or any download link so we wont be losing time tomorrow ?
That is the hope. No guarantee if you look at their statements carefully. People love to take a "We hope to do this......." and then turn it into "See, see, they said it would be that......"
They dont know when it will be ready. They have announced no time beyond a general Dec 18th. Could be all the way up until 11:59pm PST. Stay tuned.
Thanks mate you rock ! Have a fantastic day ^_^
So should I install the launcher or wait? om confused to what is the better
Me personally, I would wait. They will just have another build tomorrow, which may require a reinstall or could be just an update.
@ruby swift Oki thx ill wait
Morning Jahlon, time for me to tag out. It got hairy in here an hour or so ago. But our new My.com overlords put the problem kiddies to bed without dinner. L8r.
lol
When is the free server stress test? The one opened up to all players, even those without keys
18th
Is it for the br or the mmo?
They said something that "Stuff u unlock in BR will be there for mmorpg" what that means ?
Damn was hoping it was for the mmo lmao
Which includes the br to start then siege and finally horde mode
The br looks slow as hell, I wanted to test the mmo
br?
Battle Royale
The mmorpg alpha 1 is only for A1 testers which will be in Q2 of 2019
thanks
Oh gotcha
how long is the beta?
Not slow, but 5-10 minute Qs can make for slow downtime.
cool, looks like i could play AOC a while longer
Oh it’s becoming free for good?
The BR open beta starts tomorrow?
stress test sounded a bit short
I don’t think they need to stress test the servers for the br
Only 100 people at a time
ehm 5-10 mins queue is because game is only for backers till now I think. Tomorrow everyone can join ...
I’m sure the Qs will drastically improve on the 18th @signal pawn
If i purchase the 375 package will i get access to all the upcoming tests?
@empty girder ofc I know that but ppl here say ooh much Q's etc :/
Lol. Only because it has been slow. I’ll be glad for one to have quicker Qs. Without exp and progression, the lobby can be a little boring.
got anyone on a EU server? ;)
@simple ether Do you know if its possible for me to get into a1
I wish there was a pack to ensure your a tester for the Mmorpg part of the game but i am sure fmthats comming
Queue time should die down tomorrow with the free release, so that shouldn’t be a problem...the only thing for me is if this br mode is fun...I’ve watched videos and it just seems clunky
As I understand only if you were a kickstarted
BR is going to be awesome no matter what ppl say, Its going to be awesome for us since we can have a taste of the class, weapons etc, Its a BR based on MMORPG style which alreay makes it fun as hell and competitive and as far as developers are concerned they will have a huge amount of information to work on class,skill mechanics bugs on chars etc
Oh ok i must have misread it
i hope ppl play on EU .. i only got a place on US Servers and you dont want to play with that lagg
@simple ether Oh ok rip. Thanks anyway 😃
ofc but just saying if you are glad to just que shortly. iam glad to play the game like it should be and finaly really feel the combat and not teleporting
Any Patchnotes aviable?
I can't wait for the OBT tomorrow. Going to be nice to have some shorter queue times.
and I won't have to fight the same 3 to 4 squads when it comes down to the end xD
Hello everyone, just to clear up my confusion does the siege and horde mode start tomorrow?
No, just the BR
😦
Do we know if that is coming in the next month or so? I love the look of the siege mode.
Siege is supposed to go into early testing by the end of this month, but that's only for A1 people at first
Ok, thank you
@simple ether is this like a jahlon ama right now? 😝. But we’re getting the 4 partial classes for siege when it starts testing in a1 right?
ask me anything
^^
has the 4 classes been confirmed?
@winged sparrow that name
damn no rogue 
No
guess i'm playing mage
I think those classes can compile the data needed without people playing out the game before it’s even released
yea, I think melee combat is the biggest issue right now
is there an ETA on beta?
tomorrow, specifically the time
okay but I mean the time
okay cool
mmorpg is q2
Yea it probably will be mid to late evening eastern based off previous times but it’s their first go so expect delays and fixes
you could add beta 1 and 2 between Q3 and launch (which is before "2020")
fixed
well then you could also add the horde mode in march
Is the apocalypse coming out at 18th in the EU time or NA time?
<@&257269635559194625>
All times should be assumed to be based around their time
Client downloading is already available ?
Yes
Most likely PST time
what's the download link?
i see
will they at least ping on discord? haha
it's okay, it's okay
i understand
When can we expect to start the download for the open event at the 19th December? And are there any information about how we link our existing account to the event?
The accounts will be linked on the backend by intrepid
When the beta be open, we can stream it?
Yes, no NDA
Nice
So out of curiosity (mainly because I REALLY wanna check the game out lol) do you happen to know when emails will be sent out with instructions how to download?
trying to get to much hype for the game but really looking forward to a new game
What do i need to do to be ready for the beta release tomorrow
Play lots of Fortnite
are the server fpr apocalypse up?
Will we be able to play with friends in the open beta or is it a solo mode only?
Hi guys i was reading the wiki to learn more about the game but something disturbed me. I was thinking this game was a classic mmorpg but i've saw that you can drop your gear if you die when corrupted? So this game is closer from Albion or WoW? Im a little bit lost :/
Seriously what do iu have to do to get set up for tomorrow? Where will the download be
@dry peak You only become corrupted if you engage in PvP and kill a non combatant player, but yes you will have a chance to drop gear
@rich pecan You can queue with 3 other friends in the squad mode
@ripe timber We're all waiting for further instructions from Intrepid
Most likely updates tomorrow
@dry peak If you only participate in consensual PvP (like castle sieges, caravan attacks, guild vs guild fights, other flagged players) you won't become corrupt and it's only corrupt players that can drop gear - all players can drop a portion of their raw materials though
Will the servers be open 24/7 or will they only be open on set dates and times
Ok ty both of you and for the overall game is it closer from a classic WoW or Albion?
I'd personally expect close to 24/7, but with a lot of maintenance downtime
Ok thanks. Im to hyped
@dry peak I don't really know much about Albion myself -- Archage is usually the thing AoC gets compared to the most
I believe WoW is often called a theme park MMO, and Ashes aimed to be sandbox if I'm not mistaken
Ok thanks again
AoC has self described as a Themebox - Steven: 'In order for sandbox mechanics to mean something, there must be curated content to accompany the player’s choices. Which means, as the developers, we must create that Themebox style content but for every possible path the community may take.'
Let when some says End game Steven doesn't say anything about raiding or anything of the Like. so to put it simplly is AOC theme park or Sandbox that needs define right now. even if it's both you need to add enjoyable contain to all parts of the game.
ok
I'd like to know that if npc difficulties scale to node level but there is a limit on the number of max nodes, does this mean as players cap will these limited areas become over populated?
Depends, each node will attract different types of players based on what they offer
Economic nodes will attract traders
Military nodes will attract mercenaries etc.
However since the housing you can obtain in each node is limited, it's not possible for everyone to squeeze into one node
Players will be forced to compete and develop their own nodes to ensure a functioning economy and hate cycle
The hate cycle contributes towards the rise and fall of nodes, which results in the world changing
anyone having problems downloaded the new patch it gets stuck and says that another install is happening and wount install?
Thanks for the reply, will be a very interesting mechanic to discover
Is there any chance we can get an OCE/SEA test server? Even if its run from some backyard shed using rubberbands to hold it together? I really want to help test, it was the main reason i backed $640 AUD on this game was because of the promise of servers for our side of the planet but having to deal with the ping is insane, I and many other players would really like this, and it will also help grow the community here. Alot of the reason SEA/OCE players stick to the same dogteir mmos is because we are stuck behind 200ms walls on games like BDO and ESO etc.
ill try that
Hit it with a hammer if nothing else works
Not much they can do right now when they barely have NA and EU servers
Yes but they HAVE them
Yes and it would take a long time to get over there for you
Are they looking? Have they looked? Any transparency on this would be greatly appreciated by our player base
Source please
Stevens mouth
On another note, will a dl for the client be available on the website tomorrow? Or will it be emailed?
n
Appreciate it @simple ether
o
-Sigh one can hope
I can not find information for a TEST server for OCE/SEA the only in concrete is that there will be one at some point presumably for launch, This i already know however my questions stay unanswered
I think that unless they can out source it like EU and Russia chances of a local test server is slim
But who knows
dear god dont work with mail.ru.....
pffff
gonna hang myself
this game just ended for me
lol
Oh the salt lul
Unless a source from the devs is found, none of the sea/oce community will be very happy with an answer.
i say this everytime this issue is brought up, they have no control over the game!
There is no need to be childish about it
People have paid alot of money for something that can't experience on the same level as the rest of the world
^
R I p
No but it is part of the testing phase which is what we wish to help with, however we are hinded because of were we live
Dear creators of this GODLIKE MMORPG,
NOT just me, ALL of us are sad, that the LIFETIME pack is not longer available. PLEASE MAKE IT AGAIN SOMETIME ❤ Even if IT WONT BE CHEAP 😂 (Even if this pack is gone forever, we will still play it like mad so. Doesn't matter at all.)
I think all that @simple ether is saying is the majority of EU would probably prefer to wait for a self published game than rely on my.com servers, in that Sense you're lucky
tomorrow the 18th of december will we be able to stream the game cuz I will be streaming the game the whole time its up
thank you 😃
can i play the game now since i did not pack the packets
I've contacted ashes support to attempt to get an answer
I've been waiting for AoC to start steaming but the BR will do lul
Thank you @simple ether for your help tonight/day
ok
Im going to bed as its 2am ^^
everyone should recieve something to preload the game right before tomorrow?
@simple ether Yeah, forgot to say Thnx for the heads up. Bye bye LT sub.
oh okay
Missing a few hours makes no difference in the long run either 🤷
well I thought it said we will recieve instructions before the 18ths on how to set the game
That was for people with an Intrepid account (on their main site)
where can i download it id we getting told yes we can download? on the main site?
are we able to link our stream here if people wanted to watch or is that against the rules?
@simple ether I just need 1 more little info, IF you can give the answer. Until when will be the NAME RESERVATION possible to buy ?
unknown, it might disappear when alpha 2 disappears
ok 😃
Do we have a release time for tomorrow yet? 😃
alrigh thanks bud you are very helpful
@simple ether ah okay thx you
are we going to be useing our main accounts for open beta tomrorow or still useing the accounts we made last week?
in queue since 21 min squad .... i canceled
#web-maintenance @lofty verge
@simple ether you‘ve the patience of a saint
@simple ether I'm sorry. There is a lot of words addressed to CIS players. May i know which countries exactly are on the list? I want to know also. What gonna happen with all my bonuses from kickstarter... mounts, pets, game time... (especially game time)? It will be added to mail.ru/my.com accounts? Shall i have different accounts for those? How "creators" gonna separate us, since Stephen said there will be no IP block? Or does this mail.ru (burn you in hell!), my.com means localizations only? I have a lot of questions about this. But i'm totally confused, shocked, stunned, disappointed to focus my mind. I had bad experience with NCSoft and Blade and Soul. So i prefer to know now.
Hey, I'm trying to log on the Intrepid Studio launcher witch my AoC Logs from their website but I still get the wrong pw/user error (Already tried twice to re-download it but doesn't work), Any idea why ? thx
from the main website? Or the credentials you made for the testing? (presuming you have a qualifying pre-order package)
So, here is the answer, I have no pre-order package yet, just wanted to get ready for the open test, thx guys, have a nice one ; )
@simple ether you’re like a bot today
Went to unlock some Legendary Path stuff.
Set it to Level 7 and clicked unlock as I had enough embers.
Looks like it just kept buying level 1 for 20 embers over and over again
Is that gonna get fixed and can I get my embers back?
Ballin
You dont pick a level either, you should just buy it and that's it
@simple ether give me a few days to make 4000 accounts to sub to you 😂
I'm level 2 currently
any word yet on which account we'll need or any of that?
I'm trying to figure out what the intended functionality was supposed to and if this is a bug or not
So here's a question, for certain backers who get the free in-game currency, if you spend it in Apoc, will you not have it available for launch?
ok thanks @simple ether
kk so it's for sure broken then
lol those tricky f****ers
Indeed, if they put a skin in the BR shop that I like I will buy it to carry it over to the MMO 
we will also find out how much different amounts of Embers are worth tomorrow 
since diff packs = diff amount of Embers 
Hopefully the servers go up soon.
I would assume to avoid confusion the pre purchase packs would be for the mmo
I wish that were the case
^
Which means all pack holders will get their Embers tomorrow based on their pack's Ember value
Yea and the path i get and purchasing additional embers too but the the in game currency for your pack i wouldn’t expect to be available yet anyways i thought that was the original question
There is no "Currency" except Embers tied to the account itself 
I highly doubt it, @boreal abyss the embers that came with ur pack will prob be available when the game itself launches
@boreal abyss I said currency as I wasn't sure if Embers were it
Trying to break this whole thing down to see if they're trying to rip us off. People who backed were originally going to receive embers @ launch for MMO.
Now we have Apoc/BR and I feel like Intrpid is trying to get us to spend said free Embers on Apoc/BR stuff instead of on the MMO, to hopefully sucker people into spending more real money upon release...
Embers should be their universal currency, yes for mmo and br, but the allotted amount given with your pre purchase and backer tiers will most likely not be available until full mmo release unless we get out of game currency shop ie website purchasing, however will the purchasing currency for the br be account bound for the mmo, i would assume as long as br beta uses actual accounts
or at least that's my uninformed knee-jerk impression...
Is there a Preload for apocalyps?
I stand corrected, did not know of "Intrepid Bucks" 
thats the refer a friend currency
ie Real Money...
ah that one
then I was right 
Embers can be used in Ashes of Creation Apocalypse 
"Embers are obtained by purchasing Pre-Order Pack"
well yeah, but the question/issue is, the current amount of embers currently in players wallet (I have 199) the balance from the pack purchase or something else?
@boreal abyss still not 100% true
u dont know if they will be given at the time of APOC launch, my guess is no
but lets solve this issue RN
Is there a Proload for tomorrow?
@cerulean lake you have none in your wallet atm, if your talking what you saw in game for the previous test? Those were all test embers as well
@idle siren the Embers obtained in the Pre-Order packs on the website are those going ot be given to buyers in the APOC testing or is that for MMO release? There is alot of concern regarding this! Cheers!
I'm guessing the fact that I can't log in to the launcher is down to the servers still being down? and the fact that Apocalypse isn't before tomorrow?
I am fairly certain Steven mentioned some stream that one can use them in APOC
ty Jahlon
@junior ore this would have been last week
@cerulean lake yes that’s not a true “live beta+” server those are all tests
@simple ether you're not wrong, but we're excited 😉
@junior ore which is why I'm curious about where those embers were coming from. IF they were freebie test embers, cool. If they were MY embers from the Kickstarter, not cool.
no such thing as a wrong launcher, their new one updates to the newest available build now no need to worry
They were tests
k
@cerulean lake they are freebies cuz that isnt ur account
cool cool cool
BR cosmetics will be bought with embers correct?
Yes
if so awesome i have $100 worth of those coming in my pack
Unless they change the name for some odd reason that is there in game currency as of this moment for both apoc and mmo
yup
i've buy the 75$ pack and i can't log in the launcher, nor did i receive a mail except the invoice ... 😢
yeah but it's been 5 day xD
75$ pack only gives u the right to play the game at launch maybe beta.. And the open test coming tommorow
Any one have a problem with levels after patch? I know is still alpha testing ground but is possible to have backed up lvl? Yesterday I have lvl 6 and today like you see on the screen lvl 4.
Could you even level up yesterday? I know the daily challenges weren't working
@native osprey Yes, same problem. Progress is going to get wiped.
so where do i get the launcher so i can play tomorrow?
#apocalypse_test_help_faq check link there @orchid orchid
I love how tommorow is open beta launch and I still havent got anything on my email
ty
Am I alone in this?
nope
nope. try schedualing a Twitch stream around this
@royal fossil Nope I don`t recive any exp yesterday I obtain it before. @primal trail I know its going wiped but its strange its only 2 lvl was wiped not a whole progression.
@native osprey I see what you are talking about now. I just logged in and I was level 4 yesterday, and now I am level 3.
I've found this link but no idea if the open beta will be on it : https://intrepid-patch2.azureedge.net/intrepid-launcher/InstallIntrepidLauncher.exe
Theres no point installing an outdated launcher since on APOC release you will get a new one anyway. Same with patch
calling it now..tomorrow is going to be shit show
yea iam wondering the same there should be a pre-download period in future tests, to not overload the service when everyone jumps in the same time
unless that was intended for testing
The entire point of testing is to see if servers survive...
@sweet elk i got it now thanks again
with open beta you got to set strict rules on the server queues, you will get massive requests unlike closed alpha and another closed tests
are servers even up?
no
when will they be up actually now that i think about it
over 9 hours ago they said 8 hours.. sooooo
hmm
oh really?
thought it was done, ready for full release!
it's cool let them sort out mistakes now rather on release
I think what everyone needs to remember is 12/18 is an open beta, issues and confusion are not going to be unrealistic.
Hey everyone
o/
to get to play in right away rather than wait for download to finish specially if the game files are too big (slow internet users mainly)
Well, let's keep the discussions for #aoc-discussion and #general-discussion 😄
Has the beta emails went out yet?
😄
are servers up? been in queue like 10+ mins, idk if thats normal
login servers are Game Servers are not
ty
is the email list made for siege testing or if i purchase the pack soon would i be on it without having to send a ticket?
alright xD thanks
nah, im getting A2 bundle, i wasnt here for kickstarter so never got the chance
found out about the game like a week after kickstarter lol
ah i thought it was a2 and a1 backers, so just a1? alrighty
ah okk makes sense, then not worried anymore. thanks 😃
Im sure this has been asked a ton, but where is nodes 3? The devs said they had someone working on it a while back and I just didnt know if it took a very long time or what.
@delicate oyster 
been that for over a year
xD
most likely coming when they have a bit more spare time on their hands
which they dont right now
@delicate oyster thats become a meme at this point, but it is coming they say
I see, that makes sense

Id rather them perfect things like that then worry about media
Was just wondering
How much do I have to pay in order to get in early for castle siege? I thought I read somewhere that backers will get access before open beta testers, is this true?
Ah I see , thanks Jahlon
Im late to the party now I have to wait outside 😂👍🏻
Also @simple ether did you find the BR to be fun? Watched some of your vids interested on your opinion.
👍🏻
how big is the battle royale in size of GB
16~
any news on when we will be able to download it
nope

Tomorrow ™
Just aim 18th december at evening (PST)
@nova abyss
They have some fixes to create and i guess they want as less bugs as possible for f2p players
thnx
jahlon if you haven't got anything usefull to add to the answer of my question don't respond...
His answer is accurate, as we don't know 
servers up? just got my new rtx 2070 wanna check ashes out !! 😛
not yet
i see thanks 😃
Any news on the BR mode ? :/
lol BR
i think they should give us something diffrent than BR like the game for example
let us start in the first zone do a few things
instead of BR
okay so I have an account but cant find where to donwload the game :/
Because you can't
@heady river This is for them to figure out bugs and test the perfomance, so they can fix it, before the tests for the MMO-Part starts. It is for us a great thing to test the game out even though there are no classes right now but that will change with castle siege
there is no way to download the patcher at least so I wont lose time when the servers are going up ?
Exactly you have to wait a mystic mail
If u want to play the MMO-Part u should have purchased an Alpha 1 or 2 Package for early access. (Q2 and Q3 as far as i remember)
@nova abyss but isnt it better to show how the game starts by that u can figure out buggs aswell
For me, i give them the time they need. And i am happy with such Mods. I dont need the full MMO so early if they are at a point, where it still needs to get tested by the devs.
You would be disappointed if u would have a game full of bugs or just with an empty world and less quests. This MMO is different to the usual content MMO´s like WoW or GW2
Apocalypse is just a thing too, to give their community something they can waste time with and to show them the graphics and movement etc.
i really thing the BR does help with the combat system and see how that works
but the most important is the real game experiance
its way better for the cummonity to start the game test stuff
then do BR which will be irrelevant
I can just say: Have patience. Because these mods will be part of the MMO too as far as i know.
I am happy with what i got
it has nothing with patience i was just saying if we get to test the real game instead of BR would be better
MY opinion
Its 2 seperate things ... since the game wants 1 more year till release and backers can test it etc, the BR mode is something else ... Its not that because the BR mode is released the game goes back in develpment ... the MMO is to come in one year and backers will be able to test it later that will happen 100% even if the BR mode comes out or not ... dont get confused ppl
well alot of people are not happy with the combat
just saying
and ul tel me its in alpha
yeah i know
but im just saying
paying money before the game realeses nice
if there was a real experiance to the game i would
so 150 doesnt give legendary in siege/horde?
i want ashes of creation to be the best MMO
dont get me wrong
everything i see about it gets me hyped
Guys lets not discuss here. People have questions here like @tranquil torrent 😄
i bought the $150 pack yesterday, just wanna know what im missing out on
thought that'd give access to siege when it comes out
@tranquil torrent you get access to all 3 game modes regardless of which pack u buy
i mean the legendary like quests
you purchase gives accessto Beta 1, All A1 Backers get Legendary Quests free forever
All testers with an account that have been playing get the first month free
is there anyway to get that A1 now?
thne anyone else has to ay the sub
not unless u are a kickstarter backer or summer backer
damn, i didnt even know about it back then lol
So is steven actually gay?
yes
I'm having a hard time finding this. If I am a Kickstarter Backer with the Warrior Of Old title, will I have access to the Legendary Path always?
No, I believe you'll only get the first "chapter" free
I thought it was A1 getting it lifetime only?
So Warrior of Old is not considered an Alpha 1 backer for it's tier?
no
@crystal flax you are correct
Warrior was only ever A2, not A1
Is there a link to currently what they consider each tier to be at? I thought they had changed the classification system at some point.
I just looked at the original KS, Braver is when you got A1 and Warrior was the step below that
i registrated a while ago is the open beta for people who bought like tier 1 ?
The open beta is for literally everyone
are the instruction emails out yet ? kinda dont wanne miss the change to play it haha
Not yet
Not yet, but you likely won't get anything til tomorrow
Possibly later tonight, but nothing yet
Well the Warrior of Old gave the invite to closed Alpha 2 testing, which was included in the Founder pack. I thought that since they changed the way they handled things with Apocalypse, they no longer had a closed Alpha 2 test (consistent alpha). Anyone know what each tier currently gives? In the game lobby it says Alpha Test December 17th, 2018. Does that not grant me Legendary Path tomorrow once it opens? I'm confused AF lol.
you can still upgrade your kickstarter tier
You will have the first chapter of it, like I originally said
But lifetime Legendary is for A1 only
You were probably confusing A2 for A1 phase 2
A2 is still a thing, what used to be A1 phase one is now apocalypse, and A1P2 is just A1
Hope that clarifies 
So if I have access to Apocalypse currently which you said is Alpha 1, does that not grant me the legendary path?
I've been having access to plah
Play*
You will have the first phase of the Legendary path for free
Right but I'm talking about permanently lol. I'm just not understanding why as a $200 backer I'm not gaining access to it lol
Because you aren't an A1 backer, that was $500+
The game was opened up to more but those remain the same
btw what is there tap targeting the the open beta tomorrow?
or is it only action combat?
They also are giving everyone the first legendary path free anyways, so it kinda defeats the purpose
@ancient aurora Only action
Apocalypse is only action combat
if only we had a timer for Apocalypse :/
what exactly is the apocalypse? A ground for the developers to check how the pvp is working?
Apocalypse's primary purpose is a testing ground for action combat
Battle royal
along with back end testing and having a place to allocate data for back end systems and server stability
just wanted to check is the 16gb update to the current test client the one for the open testing starting tomorrow or would i be better to uninstall my test client and wait till tomorrow to dl from the open test client link provided ?
Probably not
@onyx surge wait for the email with instruction
@cobalt zephyr thank you 😄 saves me a night DL for poss no reason 😃
Unfortunately thats a question only a dev can properly answer
and it depends on the test client
if youre instructed to do a fresh install then do that but for now wait for additional instructions
More than likely they have changed since last update and may even be a completely different build than test server previously was
Hey guys is there a preload for tomorrow?
No
Sad :/
no information at this time but most likely not
[subject to change depending on later updates from devs]
can you pay your monthly subscription with in-game gold ?
And is there a time when the open beta begins?
we haVENT even played on the new build yet lol
that is not an intended feature
@wanton thunder
@flat sigil no time has been provided yet
@flat sigil all we know is the 18th
No set time it’s not a released game so they’re doing it as they see it’s ready to go we’re here for testing not for a finished product even upon tomorrows release, so be patient, and you will most likely be notified when it’s live as well as watch for discussion channels getting blown up with bugs and reports, it’s very indicative of live servers
@tulip hatch thanks 😃
The download will be on their website, wont it?
unknown
unsure
btw, I just refered a friend of mine to register and I gave him this link
but now I saw
is there a difference? I mean, if he registered through my 1st link do I still get 15% of this purchases?
When did you acquire the first link?
15 minutes ago
You can check how many referrals you have
how?
Somewhere under your account 1sec let me find exact path
dont tell me i am redownloading the whole **** for the 3rd time in 3 days ?!?
@onyx surge That's from the E-mail I got, so I would suggest not to DL
@ancient aurora https://www.ashesofcreation.com/refer/?tab=referrals make sure you’re logged in
That’s the exact link on their webpage to check your referrals
@low geyser yeah just gona delete everything and wait till the open links out so that I dont have any issues with left over files etc
As of this moment it is better to not download ahead of time assuming any previous minor issues can arise it’s easier to fresh install when server goes live especially if it’s a slightly different build than the test server was or is
the game is going to fully launch in 2019 but around what time?
🙏🏻 As a reminder to our newcomers please do not post your referral links here
before 2020 is the desire
unknown release date atm
@tulip hatch sorry I am gonna delete them now
however its subject to change depending on how development progresses
already dealt with its fine
any info on siege?
like, when alpha players will get access, and when the regular peasants like me will be abl;e to play?
when is beta 1 stage going to come?
for the BR? tomorrow.
I am thinking of buying that pack for beta 1 & 2 access
in the beta you will be able to level up your characters, nodes, and do all the other aspects of the game right?
MMO Beta isnt expected until mid 2019 at best
are server gonna be up today
so wwill apocalypse be available right up until mmo release?
@solid silo hard to tell
@tranquil torrent it will be a standalone release, from what we know it will eprsist after launmch
ah i thought it would like, fuse with the mmo lol
two seperate titles
^
sharing the same universe
no. it is and always will be separate.
They don’t but what you win there will carry over to the mmo
For the battle royale mode will I be able to play with friends?
yes 3
Yes
squad mode
Boo yah
Also do we know when Castle Sieges will be implemented for non backers or do we not know yet? Sad I couldnt back it but eh, is what it is
non a1 backeres will be able to play 1 month after a1 testers test it
Gotcha
Greetings
and salutations
hi, when is the BR mode up?
Tomorrow at some point
roughly 4 hours ago 
@crystal beacon wait so in less than 4 hours Apocalypse will be open for EU ?
soo since I am in EU that means I can go to sleep right ? I got more than 7 hours ?
Minimum more than likely
Normal that I did not receive the apoc open beta link yet?
I wouldn’t expect midnight their time release i would expect early morning to noon ish when everyone is on hand for issues
Beta today , right?
Alpha was mostly afternoon their time for the big chunks
12/18 west coast na release unless they say otherwise @runic arrow
Right now it's 2:34 PM on the 17th for Intrepid
will it be available in eu at the same time?
@crystal flax when are they opening beta? at 00:00 their time?
is their any way to download the client for the game in preperation for tomarow?
No word yet
@foggy ibex no, it will be the 19th
@crystal flax is your profile picture of an anime?
Nah, friend of mine drew it for me, though I guess it's in that style
tell your friend he/she is simply amazing!
@foggy ibex they usually patch at 3pm to 6pm PST - 0am the next day in eu, depending on your time zone.
ok i gotta wait then 😦
so it will probably the 19th
i am stillv ery confused on how to join the open beta? what sposificly do i need to download, or we will find out tomarow
yep. i break up from school on the 19th so gonna play alot anyway
oky doky, tyvm
Hi, do we know what time Apoc will be live for plebs like me who aren't backers
Intrepid instaled new technology in this patch ?
I didn't need to log in after it kicked me out to get log in by launcher before I even try to write my password.
Is the bet still on for tomorrow?
when will server be up 24/7
What is the over/under on how many times people are going to ask about downloading today?
~10000
So what time tomarrow does Apo start?
are we there yet?
@sour valley no word as of yet
Ty
༼ つ ◕◕ ༽つGIB ASHES OF CREATION APOCALYPSE BETA つ ◕◕ ༽つ
Essentially this discord in a nutshell for now lol
The white box is misleading. It says "not before...not today" but nothing on if you are delaying beta to a different date. I for one scheduled time off of work to help test the beta. So information on a push back would be helpful as I cancel my day off. I assume several others are in the same boat as me.
dont bother asking any questions here it will only lead to someone being snarky
@calm plover so much of that basically
@calm plover first off bad idea to take time off work especially since its going into Open Beta, which basically means always on... (hopefully)
@digital yacht it's always important to be part of any mmo beta test and getting in early can help change/improve the game. Worth it in my book
Took time off to beta eso was well worth it on first day. Not my first rodeo
#web-maintenance new update on today’s alpha testing. No news on open beta release yet
so many think thits game its battle royale when its mmorpg
Apocalypse is battle royal AoC is mmo 😊
yes when they see it on stream they think its only Apocalypse battle royal
are servers up?
Sorry, just to be clear with the white box. There has been no emails saying you are accepted to the beta at all, correct? We will all get emails with client downloads etc at the same time? Created a 2nd account through the register link just in case, as mine is from 2017 and have received 0 info on teh beta.
Just making sure I haven't missed something, been waiting 14 months for this hah
To play the game at all.
Account is Badss on the forum.
The Beta is for all registered users on the 18th additional information will be provided when its ready
And thank you for the info, regardless of the..extra ;p
Roger that. Ty
Ya, @solid silo I've been warning people that the current news feed will be for a mini game that is nothing like the game
Dont want people scared off >.>
So fortuitous the beta lands on my birthday. Taking the whole day off! Hope it actually gets to launch.
Can someone explain the open beta? i’ve registered but not able to play because i wasn’t selected? Thought it was an open beta
Thought it launched today though...
Dec 18. USA pst
Oh i’m a day early.... why does my phone say the 18tg right now lol
what time zone u in
Western
You're a time travel.
West Coast, we’ll as long as i didn’t miss it.
Time is but an illusion, one you have bent to your will
yup
tomorrow
anyone know how long they intend on making this beta last?
It looks like they haven't updated the web page yet, which was hoped for yesterday, Don't be surprised if that pushes back apoc open, accounts are to be linked
i have a real question. are our testing accounts for tomorrow going to be separate from the accounts we've been testing with these last few days?
@queen holly Thank you
Apocalypse when?
@glass furnace I can understand your confusion, the original testing emails said the credentials were temporary and we would need new ones for launch. That changed to them just wiping all progress and keeping them.
@ebon spruce 18th originally. We'll have to see
@ebon spruce By 11:59pm PST on the 18th. It is currently 4pm PST on the 17th. Chill out.
Oh ok sorry
dw his panties got a bit twisted
Might want to edit that last word out
even tho I do partly agree
And since the majority of comments and questions seem to be from time travelers whose machines have malfunctioned, I am going with them having acquired their Tardis used.
Hi guys! anyone received beta keys yet? thanks in advance
😂
Thank you for your inquiry Liam, scroll up.
I'm hoping it's a troll
oh haha it wasnt but i guess ill just be off for tonight then 😛 ty
when apocalypse goes out to the public, where and how can I download it?
The announcement will explain how to download it, no stress.
Thank you very much :3
You'll find out tomorrow
im having a watch party for the testing. i dont know what you should bring, what time it starts, if it will even happen , i cant give you directions to get here, im not sure what we will do but please dont plan anything else for that 24 hours just in case
thanks yall for understanding

test up yet?
Check #web-maintenance
I downloaded the launcher and whatnot, I went to register with Intrepid, it says "unrecognized tester email"
where is the launcher
I am registered with Ashes, and keep getting this message with Intrepid. :/
You need to make a separate testing account.
If you were invited to the stress tests, you'd have received an email with instructions
ah
What time tomorrow is the beta supposed to release?
I am sure you'll receive instructions on how to download and install everything and make an account tomorrow
we're not sure at what time you can expect anything tomorrow
^
Got ya
They operate in PST, so technically it's tomorrow
If you're in EUR it will probably be in the evening/night if I had to guess
Thats good,i sleep during the day since i work third shift 😂
👍 💤
anyone have any idea what time it will be up tomorrow ?
will the download be on the main site/store page?
Most likely within an hour, possibly longer.
@glass furnace oh is it gonna be today ?
@lament bough We don't know how the download will be distributed. The previous one was distributed via email.
ty
@cold spire Sorry, I thought you were talking about the stress test. The open Beta will be some time tomorrow. We're not sure when.
oh ok thank you, so the stress test is gonna be today ?
Technically later today if you're in EU
Stress testing has been occurring the last few days for certain invitees
damn i wanted to get there 😦
Well, all of our quest progress is supposedly getting reset, so we're all going to start fresh tomorrow for the open beta
no yeah i meant to try out and try to give feedback
i know everything is getting reset :p but im so excited for tomorrow still
since ive played a lot of mmos i tried so hard to get in the testers sending emails 😦 just unlucky 😭
I think the stress test was randomly selected from people who bought at least Beta 1. but, tbh, apocalypse is not an MMORPG at all, it's a battle royal being used to test its action combat system
so you're really not seeing much of the actual game, other than the art (which is stunning), and a precursor of the action combat
I like how we can earn in game perks for the MMO
And be able to buy the legends pass to help at a smaller scale
does anyone know when apocalypse is out for everyone?
tomorrow
What time?
yea its already 18th for me so what time?
18th PST time
no1 knows eact time
u will see a ping or get an email when time comes
kk tnx
How do I get the apoc tester role?
What a solid piece of Info
Can someone explain this to me?
Why do they look so different
I'd play one but not the other..
Quick question: Does anyone know if Apoc will support groups? Can't find that bit of info anywhere.
They gonna shoot over an email when it's live?
@crystal beacon just right off, i see massive stream compression, more on one than the other. Time of day is different. Area of the map is different. UI is different, but we all know that's a WIP. One is mostly in shadow and the other is not. I mean, that's just at first glance though...
one of them looks like it plays like warframe the other like wow
different strokes...don't like? you don't have to play. easy enough.
what are you talking about
I'm asking why they are so different, don't have to be bitchy.
B
not being bitchy. People have differing tastes. These are from the same map. I'd like to get my hands on it first hand...just to see the real look and feel without all the compression
they look entirely different.
yup, there's more atmospherics in the Apoc demo looks like. Dirrefernt time of day too.
?????????????
exactly. enjoy, kind sir
try adjusting brightness in general
I'm talking mechanics
looks like the screen is dimmed down a bit too
i do:) it's what i do for a living:)
oh, your question is on gameplay?
ah! easy answer...see Peanuts post
