"We will open the servers again for focused stress testing on the weekend of the 11th of January 2019, and will provide access during each weekend thereafter, leading up to the official release of Apocalypse in February. "

when is the beta 2 mmorpg release date

edgy basin

There is no specific date, it depends on how development go

cobalt zephyr
#

@simple ether for alpha 1?

wooden vessel
#

will castle siege be out on APOC release in feb?

#

@simple ether

junior ore
#

Unknown

#

I would suspect if we get it in alpha in next few weeks it has a high chance

#

But it will go open beta when is feels it’s ready, and the servers are ready

keen raft
#

<@&257269635559194625> I just don't understand where the beta backing and alpha backing play over into apocalypse anymore, its no longer clear. We were told beta/alpha would have access before general public to apocalypse- I have beta preorder pack and that never happened before and it doesn't look like its happening now. I see a lot of talk floating around about early access to apocalypse and the mmorpg. But i am assuming now it is only the mmorpg? Would love some clarification on what pre purchasing got us in apocalypse.

#

@simple ether I have to applaud intrepid for their funding strategy. The promise to A1 of 30 day early access would entice people to purchase those packs. Same with early beta access. I think the ambiguity extends from apocalypse vs the mmorpg. I have a corporate finance and MBA background and own over 15 distinct companies. The funding strategy is genius to effectively generate more funds via a limited release of apocalypse with the ember system activated under the implied understanding that it would appear as though the apocalypse would be a continually available sub-game used for testing server stability and combat for the mmo. The issue here is I don't really know what i'm getting exactly as benefits as a consumer anymore- its blurry- needs to have clear deliverables as it translates between apocalypse and the mmorpg. If nothing else, I am hoping that the additional raised capital will facilitate further corporate resources that will be used efficiently to finally take down the giant games like WoW that are short-term investment sighted and are stagnating the industry. We'll see! Here's to optimism!

#

@keen raft more of a discussion than a question! #aoc-discussion is where the cool kids discuss Ashes

junior ore
#

Apoc is bonus that was never listed

scarlet moth
#

I agree. We were sold keys unwhittingly.

#

And now I get an error 500 at launch. This sux. ⛔

#

Please know these bitches are genuine.

#

Legit bro.

keen raft
#

I guess what’s confusing me is that players I talk to on discord are saying they are beta backers and got access weeks ago . But they must have gotten a beta 0 invite key instead of 1 or 2 . @simple ether I agree they should just take it down and fix it . I just would have liked some further clarification on the apocalypse piece . Anyways this is discussion now - my first post was a question. For clarity - it’s been answered .

#

When it’s mentioned that “ backers have access to beta early etc “ it’s somewhat misleading because it is the beta test . But you think someone who backs a beta 1 / 2 would then have access . Etc .

#

See that’s what I mean @simple ether I have beta 1 backers access . And I never got any early access before the 18th of December .

scarlet moth
#

Yup. Ran every suggestion from my end to fix. I am not an IT person but a backer and potential customer. Here to help but can't. Stuck in gaming Hell unable to log on.

keen raft
#

So when do I get access again as beta 1 ? Or should I have access now ?

#

I never got a email with early access @simple ether before the 18th . This is what im talking about . So I was bugged ?

scarlet moth
#

Nope. Reflecting why I couldn't play through the X mas holiday. They'll fix it - YOU THINK!

#

Royalty Backer not on a list. How motivating. Wait my turn.

edgy basin
#

Both of you have submitted tickets right?

scarlet moth
#

Yup.

edgy basin
#

If you are sure that whatever you have purchased should have given you something you did not get

#

then ofc you have made tickets with the relevant information?

scarlet moth
#

Ahhh .... Money back guarentee.?.

keen raft
#

@idle siren can you please have someone look into why I would not be on the backer list with pre purchase in the above case . And @edgy basin I submitted a ticket last week because I never got my free unlocked leg path and before had purchased it for a ember reimbursement - got my confirmation email but no response from anyone .

scarlet moth
#

@edgy basin get my $2500 back.

keen raft
#

@simple ether my code literally shows in my account and transaction history . under the username baliso . Not sure what happened .

edgy basin
#

What I'm trying to say is that if you have a serious problem, go through the ticket channels, cause the discord is mostly regular people helping other regular people

scarlet moth
#

I understand the situation. Just fix it, BUT WILL YOU?

edgy basin
#

I don't think you understand 😄

keen raft
#

@simple ether I already have a ticket for something else submitted dealing with embers that’s been pending for days. I’m sure they are slammed but not sure how they are prioritizing tickets . I suppose I’ll send in a ticket for this as well. Too bad I didn’t know it was a bug - could have been playing for weeks earlier . Sad day .

I think there's a lot of misunderstandings going around. I am a fan boy.

Demand what you pay for, but also know what you pay for

Money isn't love but it puts food on the table?

<@&257269635559194625> I submitted a support ticket on 12/22 to retrieve my old account with my packages. I've tried a few other contact methods to no avail. I still haven't been contacted back or had any help regarding this issue.

junior ore
#

All functions are not up on the site it’s probably an auto message if even one piece is failing

silent lantern
#

It's left up as a message for all the people who don't see some of their information. Just chill and wait. The entire reason why they shut Apoc for now is because they want to fix the bugs with the game and with the new website system. It takes time.

@simple ether Do you think they're going to add a toggle sprint option into ashes, and maybe an autorun too? I love this game but holding the shift key the entire time I play is killing my pinkie and I can only play an hour at a time before I get cramps.

Thank Jahlon

#

Also i re-read the email and it does say any password recovery sent a ticket as their website is down

@simple ether "If the database is corrupted, that pretty much stops all work" only true if they had one copy only. I trust they would have backups or made backups of the database along the journey.

Hello everybody! Make sure you read the Pinned messages, by clicking on the "pin" icon on the top right of discord!
It has all the answers to the most frequently asked questions, and likely has an answer to your question as well! If this does not answer your question, feel free to ask it here thumbsup

royal ice
#

@simple ether Then you need to ask why the delay with the script. Unless the script near took in consideration special characters. That would cause issues.

Is Apocalypse supposed to be very laggy? I barely kept 60fps and dipped sub 60 when scoping with a bow/using spells at the lowest settings 1440p with RX 580 8gb and i7 2600k@4.5ghz

The game has not been optimized yet. That is part of the testing

lament laurel
#

I’m late to the party. I donated on kick starter awhile back but nearly forgot about ashes because of my busy life. What stage is ashes in. I did the pioneer ( 100$ beta 1 phase ) donation, I’m guessing I’ll be waiting a bit longer to play?

dusk mesa
#

Intrepid / Voyager plus backers, did you get your ember and name reservation?

ruby swift
#

@dusk mesa Embers will be assigned to your account once the migration has been fixed. Name reservation wont be even touched upon till around the middle of 2019 from the last information given.

#

@lament laurel B1 for the mmo has been estimated for Q4 2019 and will be relatively short. Apocalypse which is a testing phase program is meant to be available for free to anyone will return early next year. The current phase of the MMO testing action combat and server architecture and load while they work on integrating core systems for the mmo A1 phase meant to start early/Q2 2019.

So do we really think we’ll get an update today about castle sieges? I love that Intrepid is giving us actual dates instead of “we’ll update soon”.

Good finally, can you show me the pack in the inventory?

You can log in your phone and screenshot but ok... so no embers, can you just check whether Name Reservation is in your inventory? That's all i need to know, thanks.

It should be in "other" category

Check please

Hello I want to download Apocalypse next days to test how it works with my current network, how much space on disk I need to install Apocalypse?

junior ore
#

At least 25-30gb. Last it was about 18gb but leave room, and it won’t be up until at least Jan 11 for the weekend anyways

wise cedar
#

And when official game release need to download again that much GBs?

#

Or just install something like a patch in the same game?

#

Ohh I see, then Apocalypse is on the same MMORPG?

junior ore
#

I would say expect the game to be significantly more, probably pushin 50gb unless some insane optimization is done But that’s based of other mmos and UE4 games

#

^^

#

Apoc = BR, castle siege, horde. When they all come out

wise cedar
#

Ohh I see now

Thank you so much for the info ^^

#

no after Update i become "User not found"

stable plover
#

@scarlet moth Error 500 happens when the server is down. See #news

scarlet moth
#

Tried leeches?

#

So the thought with error 500 is, we were caught in the US Server West when it went down.

#

We had to delete all AOC and download

#

but I only know FORTRAN. I'm not a coder.

#

Soooo .... because we are stuck in a downloaded server inop. The system doesn't know you're in hell.

#

That's from an Ausie source...

#

I know sir. This is an after action review.

#

Will there be ranking system in the game similar to the BDO one?

true jewel
#

What does it mean when it says beta authentication failed?

#

err, beta credentials not valid

dusk mesa
#

Steven said it depends on if we want it or not, but most people seem to hate it for foolish reasons like "It's not the MMO" "We don't need another fortnite"

#

@true jewel Servers closed.

junior ore
#

2/3 of apoc will be in the mmo

#

Steven statement you quoted was only in regards to br

true jewel
#

そうですか。When will the servers be back up? I didn't see a new pin in the server status page

dusk mesa
#

Yes it was only for the BR, but I enjoyed the BR because it contain things that won't be in the MMO like unlimited ranged, it's unique and different experience than the MMO.

#

@true jewel 11 Jan

true jewel
#

Thank you very much.

junior ore
#

Eh we don’t officially know about range in the mmo it’s safe to assume it won’t be, but why not put a free aim bow on long cd that can hit far... part of hybrid they could use

ruby swift
#

We do know. Think it was the Krojak stream where Steven stated that the ranges were for testing only and would not be like that in the MMO.

versed lotus
#

@radiant wave There was a greyed out Leaderboards Button on APOC, so possibly.

uncut salmon
#

Is there any way to become a tester? Do any of the supporter tiers give you access to the game right now?

fading latch
#

@uncut salmon earliest test available now is for Alpha 2 once a preorder pack is bought. All other open testing (such as the opem beta BR) will still be a thing in the future for other possible modes/features.

junior quarry
#

so how long ittakes now to get our account ? those who didnt got it back ?

wicked pier
#

Aye guys o/
So I read the FAQ

Players can customize their combat experience to focus on tab targeted skills, action targeted skills, or a mix of both.

Does that mean I'd essentially miss out on skills if I'd only go for action targeted skills?

Like I said I came from BDO and while the rng ruined it for me the combat system was amazing.

Are the action target skills comparable to bdo or something completely different?

#

I see.
Thanks :)
I got so used to the non tab target system that it will be hard to go back.

Heya, I already own the game and I'm looking to buy the cosmetics yet I only see the bundles sadface What do?

Thanks!

mystic raptor
#

I bought the main pack, and its showing that I don't have access to frostguard cloak and nyth

#

any ideas?

lean merlin
#

wait for a week or two

mystic raptor
#

mk, just don't want to miss out. Hoping this is a bug and not some transaction issue

lean merlin
#

its certainly a bug

#

if it should be in the pack

mystic raptor
#

yeah it was the 375$ one or how ever much the final one costs

#

says i only got 2800 embers too XD

lean merlin
#

then its a bug

mystic raptor
#

so i bought the 150$ one back in the summer and to get legendary when APoC came out recently I upgraded to voyager then I saw the frozen glade and upgraded for the third and final time.

#

So it may be a bit confusing

#

which I have not received those embers

#

just 25$worth

#

hmmm

junior ore
#

thats probably back logged

mystic raptor
#

alrighty thanks for the info

junior ore
#

i have none

#

if nothing else screenshot or save all transactions and support once they state everything should be fine

lean merlin
#

ok i did not know that you bought it back then

#

i thought you bought the winter pack from the beginning

mystic raptor
#

gotchya, whole upgrade process was a bit confusing

#

I'll just wait for check and then get the stuff next week if its still available, which it looks like it will be up a bit longer based on news

"So we will spend January making sure that Sieges are ready for showtime. This means that Alpha and Beta backers for the MMO can expect to see some testing near the end of January."

What does this exactly mean now? Will alpha and beta backers from the MMO be able 2 test castle siege at the end of january? i thought only alpha1 backers get entrance first?

small pecan
#

It’ll probably happen similar to the BR where they open up play testing to larger and larger brackets, except expedited

#

Which is probably because the mode needs twice as many players as the BR

ruby swift
#

They will have plenty of testers in any bracket they choose.

So shopping cart is messed up, it either times out or when it is purchased the shop will remove everything from the cart

When in doubt always read #news first. Web Accounts: We have been working to resolve the migration issues with accounts for the website, these issues may take until the end of next week to resolve, and we will be extending the December cosmetics to allow players ample time to access those if they cannot currently. Username recovery and password recovery options are being worked on and we will send out an email when those are complete.
Forums: The forums will be up and running next week, and should contain the previous postings/threads.

mystic raptor
#

Yeah mate I read that, this is a different bug has nothing to do with migration.

crystal beacon
#

Hey, will the "stamina" system be a thing in the actual MMORPG ? I just remember how super annoying it was/is in ESO and I hope its not gonna make it to the mmorpg

mystic raptor
#

If it’s like battle royale running won’t take stamina but jumping and certain attacks will.

fiery oar
#

Any toughts on what the END game will be for PvE?

#

So there wont be any raids?

#

Or any type of pve in instance

#

That sounds like an interesting concept

#

Also will the game have sharding?

crystal beacon
#

actually thats a generic sandbox concept that already failed in every sandbox mmorpg. I hope they are planning more content then "just" node and node wars

junior ore
#

caravans, castle sieges, gvg, territorys, leveling node which is pve content , fully open world pvp minimal safezones, l

crystal beacon
#

caravans, castle sieges, gvg and terrirotys is pvp content. node lvling and open world bosses is pve content

junior ore
#

no

crystal beacon
#

yes

junior ore
#

everything there is pvp except the specific one i listed as pve

crystal beacon
#

unless castle sieges is for you the horde mode

#

horde mode is probably pve content

#

you sure?

#

I think I got some monster coins from the Kickstarter thing

#

ah ok

junior ore
#

horde is the test version to feed info for the mmo

ruby swift
#

Horde is more about spawn generation and AI going wonky. Monster coin events will be very similar to Horde mode, but with the added bonus of player controlled monsters depending on coin level.

#

@crystal beacon The reason they are going with the node stuff and more sandboxxy is because they understand there will always be a percentage of content whores who burn through it all in under a week and then bitch "there is nothing to do!" This way there will be light content gaps for those that try to burn.

crystal beacon
#

Yea I know that, but the problem is not really that this is a sanbox or not I see the actual problem that the game dont have any real pve content. And dont understand me wrong, Im a main pvp player but I learn my lesson already more then twice that the MMORPG Genre have lot more pve players then pvp

#

But making an pvp game doesnt mean that this is bad, its just that they are running it as a P2P

#

and I think this will end up same like Tera was

#

1 year P2P and then switching back to free 2 play because Tera doesnt had any content back then

ruby swift
#

Where did you get that there is no pve content. We have an overarching main storyline that will take you all over Verra confirmed. A whole mess of side storylines confirmed. And their take on dailies, call tasks. Open world and Instanced dungeons that spawn based on node type and location, all sorts of stuff that is outside of the pvp box.

crystal beacon
#

Instanced dungeons confirmed? I though they sauid only open world?

ruby swift
#

No, mostly open world, there will be instanced dungeons and raids.

crystal beacon
#

And PvEler wont like that open world pve content when they can be ganked by a guild

#

Yea I know that

ruby swift
#

Sorry, the forums are down right now or @simple ether or myself could direct you to the threads that answer all these questions already.

crystal beacon
#

What I want to say is, that I dont think a Game which is more focused on PvP then PvE will be doing well as P2P model and im scared that they will change it after 1 year

#

and my lifetime abo wont be worth much

ruby swift
#

And we are coming back at you with there is no focus on one over the other. This is a misconception people are getting from the BR and action combat being one of the first visible tests.

crystal beacon
#

to be honest, I hope you guys are right but I personaly I think, from the experience I made that an mmorpg which is not a themepark wont be doing well as a p2p

#

the problem with sanbox games is, that they are building the game to be a selfrunner and dont updating the game with big content patches

#

or those patches just need really long and the ppl just leaving.

ruby swift
#

That is why the official faq they call themselves a themebox. It is a wait and see. I think they are going about it the right way by getting pvp related issues out of the way first. Every other game that either added it as an afterthought or tried to separate the systems as to gear and loot has failed miserably. We all hope for this to be the one.

crystal beacon
#

Youre right, we can just wait and see

ruby swift
#

As for content drops, they have said that they are shooting for small monthly and larger quarterly. Not bug fixes and such, but actual content.

#

Since they are not monetizing DLC, they have no pressure to make big grandiose things that take a year so people have to wait through droughts

crystal beacon
#

really? wait where do you have that all? I think I saw the most streams

ruby swift
#

@simple ether may have his quotebin active. Mine is on forums or I would link them.

#

And there are a couple crazy few of us that have compiled it all and can quote most of it back from memory with the relevant links. Right now I am a bit handicapped, but the quotes are out there.

Responses to tickets are sent and are typically less than 1 week in timing. If you are having challenges receiving responses you may want to ensure that you've added the appropriate email addresses to your list of known contacts. Often times these emails are filtered or even blocked by spam filters. Please also note that it is currently the Holidays here and that many of the team do partake in those.

i keep getting a patcher system error, the procedure described in the FAQ doesn't seem to be working

#

how do i get the patcher to work ?

#

The patcher being excited is a known issue where there are multiple processes open from either intrepid or the launcher itself. Try closing all AoC related processes in the task manager (or restart your pc) to fix that.
The other issue I have not yet seen and can best be posted in #alpha_bugcrash_reports

#

@crystal beacon that's just me running the patcher from command prompt to see if anything changes. as for your suggestion, I closed all the additional instances of AoC but when i restart the launcher the problem is still there

crystal beacon
#

Is there any information on when (and if) the EU Servers will be exclusively available trough my.com in APOC?

#

Just wondering because the first testing week i played with the Intrepid-Launcher and therefore with my Intrepid Account. Because my.com-Launcher wasn't available then. Just dicovered that my.com has a different launcher on their website now. If the EU Servers will be only available through the my.com launcher then my progress will probably be lost? Or will the Account migration to my.com be first?

boreal granite
#

Additional question, why is a seperate ompany handling EU to begin with? Does my.com own Intrepid?

west solstice
#

Mainly laws I would say.
IS is self publishing in NA, but it seemed like it's too hard to do that themselves here in europe due to laws and legal stuff. (and maybe maybe My.com gives good monies)

#

and no My.com does not own Intrepid Studios

boreal granite
#

Both versions NA & EU will be retain feature and support parity though?

west solstice
#

The game itself will be the same, yes. But European Accounts (and their support) will be handled by My.com

boreal granite
#

Urggh, and the Russian version is being handled by an email provider? Why is there no mention of this shared publishing on the official website?

modest basalt
#

Question, I know it's a long shot but going to ask anyway. Does anyone know if they their is any plains on add this game to other systems besides PC?

boreal granite
#

The website only mentions PC for the time being @modest basalt

modest basalt
#

Thanks @boreal granite

boreal granite
#

But then it seems like the website is missing crucial information anyway

crystal beacon
#

@boreal granite my.com just provides servers and accounts for EU and has no control over anything i the game. And since my.com is mail.ru in russia mail.ru is providing servers in russia.

boreal granite
#

Had there not been any problems with the account management on the official website, I would of bought it from there, then presumably unable to play in EU, if this Third Party is handling EU players. Where is an FYI "If you're in EU, please go here"

west solstice
#

Right now you can still buy the game on the NA website. (even tho it might not be working to due #news ) and you can migrate your account to EU My.com later on.
You also can check aoc.my.com

crystal beacon
#

@boreal granite currently you can buy from either Intrepid or my.com. doesn't matter because accounts can be migrated to my.com at some time

west solstice
#

for EU info

boreal granite
#

I'd prefer it just be under the same company really

ruby swift
crystal beacon
#

But back to my question: Any information on when the EU Servers in Apocalypse will by only available through my.com?+

ruby swift
#

Nope, that information has not been released beyond SOONtm

crystal beacon
#

Hmm ok then its probably better to start playing with the my.com Launcher starting on the 11th? Because i don't want to lose the progress and i doubt that the account migration to my.com will be ready so soon

west solstice
#

The Account migration process will be ready before the release of the MMORPG tho, so that's just in time

boreal granite
#

Great, so I'll be giving all my personal information to a Russian P2W publisher with a dodgy reputation.... thanks

west solstice
#

But whatever you wish, really

boreal granite
#

#ExitStageLeft

west solstice
#

Cya in a bit 😃

ruby swift
#

Must be Russian...cause that would be the only reason to play on Mail.ru. And there is always the option of playing on Intrepid servers, you do have a choice.

west solstice
#

Honestly, you throw your data and information away by using Amazon. Things could be worse than a european publisher

boreal granite
#

I trust Amazon more than I would Russia

#

I mean, question?

hardy halo
#

I have a question. How concerned is everyone with the mesh of “tab” and “action” combat. I for one enjoy the skill involved in an action combat MMO but if given the option to use tab or action tab targeting is obviously optimal. Am I misunderstanding how this will work in ashes? Will you be given the option or will only certain abilities be tab targeting?

modest sierra
#

Up to 75% of either and 25% of the other

#

Not much on how they work together yet

junior ore
#

Tbh it’s good, action combat normally brings a lot more skill set and skill cap with it. also it separates people outside of just cd and skill rotations, but imho the biggest issue with action combat games tends to be the lack of support classes due to the inability to tab friendlys, which tends to lead to either rng heals that don’t hit who you want or support classes that do hit everything and everyone and being bustedly op cough final fantasy cough the tab will allow a bit more precision in true support (not just heals) while also retaining the skill cap off action attacking

#

This is assuming it’s going to in some fashion be as such

Will there be capabilities to run a bandit gang of sorts? I'd kinda consider playing criminal if they have it.

crystal beacon
#

Sorry, I'm still a little new to ashes of creation so I have a few questions if anyone can fill me in..

  1. So testing begins 11th of January and the game's official release is February?
  2. Is there anything else I need to know about to play? Money for example or is the game 100% free to play and money is not required apart from in-game purchases.
modest sierra
#

yes

#

it'll be open to all on the weekends

stable plover
#

@crystal beacon 1. Testing resumes on Jan 11th, Apocalypse's release is in February, not the MMO - Apocalypse consists of Battle Royale, Castle Siege, and Horde modes - I don't think the February release is meant to include at least horde mode (which we're expecting the testing for to start at the end of March)
2. Apocalypse is F2P, you can play it without putting in any money at all and earn cosmetics/embers that could carry over to the MMO. There are various purchases you could make for individual cosmetics / the Apocalypse legendary path for 10$ US for about 10 weeks it unlocks a lot more earnable cosmetics. The MMO itself has no box cost / no DLC costs, has a 15$ a month subscription, and has a cosmetic only cash shop (a boat in a pre-order package is for example a boat skin, you still need to collect the materials like lumber to build the boat at a shipyard, there are different classifications of boats and you need to match the skin to an appropriate ship) - There are various pre-order pack bundles available that offer Alpha 2 - Beta 2 access for the MMO (Alpha 2 starts in Q3 of next year)

crystal beacon

Oh thank you for that

#

I have a better understanding. I appreciate the detailed explanation.

cobalt zephyr

silk oracle
#

did they say wether the full release will be a full download or will it be possible to stream it like in some other mmo´s ?

ruby swift
#

I think I understand what he is asking, maybe. Some games upon release allow you to download a core portion to get you in the game, and then you can be playing in a limited fashion while the rest of the game downloads in the background. And we have no information on whether that would occur here.

silk oracle
#

@ruby swift thx

#

wat

#

no

#

thats not it

#

in some games like Everquest 2 the game downloads in the background while youre already playing

ruby swift
#

Also the games that do it have dedicated server farms. Most new companies use cloud services for their infrastructure now. It all depends on how their setup with AWS (current hosts) works. Whether they need to apply a full update with their client offline for everyone to download. Lots of technical details we just don't have access to. It will become clearer later.

Braver of Worlds have been able to test for a while now
The Ashes Apocalypse testing platform is free to play for everyone but Alpha 1 package holders get to test the different apocalypse modes before they are released for public testing.
the game is currently down until the 11th and will resumed for weekend testing sessions

Was there supposed to be an email or something about it? I never heard anything.

You should be able to I think, but right now everything is pretty thoroughly broken. For example, the only thing in my store is Kickstarter/Summer upgrade packages... some of which I've already bought.

LOL, I tried testing one time, and it was terrible, I just want my money back but I know that wont happen ... they have made this a PVP game and basically decieved everyone not interested in PVP

#

I got in, and it seems to not associate kickstarter at all

still wyvern
#

@compact steeple Eh, right now, they're testing combat mechanics hence BR and upcoming Castle Siege. We had PvE in Alpha 0. We'll be getting PvE testing few months down the road for Horde mode. It's just that they want to ensure combat is working.

#

And right now, they've ran into migration issues, and are working on getting them sorted out as soon as possible. We can expect an update tomorrow, or a day after depending on their side. I'd suggest sending in customer support ticket just in case.

crystal beacon
#

AoC will not be a PVP game. It will be an MMO. They have released a different experience for now named "Apocalpyse" to test a multitude of things (pinned by Alluring in this channel) which will only aid the development on the MMO that is scheduled to come out before 2020

#

And as Deadmansprice noted, it will not just be a BR experience, that's just the first part. They will also include a PvE mode for all the non backers in Apocalypse with the Horde mode.

dusk mesa
#

@compact steeple Why are you still saying "they turned it into a PVP game" after you mentioned yourself that it is just for testing?
Also, you can ask for refund if you want. I did once.

<@&257269635559194625> With the changes to the website/store front. I can no longer find a way to purchase just the cosmetics for month. Only the packages with game time+cosmetics are available. As I do not need any of those, is there any way to get just the cosmetics as we could with the old website?

proven arrow
#

@stable tapir once the website is fixed we'll be able to buy the addons for this month, they also will be extending them so we have ample time to purchase.

flint barn
#

I recently (on the 14th of December) purchased the Arctic Prowler as well as the Frostguard Cloak off of the cosmetic shop on the site. I did this before the website migration took place and I've been looking through my purchase history on my profile, but the items are not showing up. I dunno if it's worth noting, but I did use PayPal for the first time to buy those items (all my other transactions have been through my debit card). Are there anyone aware of whether this is normal or not, or whether I should contact support?

charred orchid
#

@flint barn Account migration is still in place, so I think you should wait and see if the items get linked to your account when it ends. If they don't, then submit a support ticket.

fickle kite
#

Linux support?

@fickle kite Wiki says it "may be possible in future", but I'm pretty sure it won't right at launch

#

So guys, quick question, because i recently found out about aoc and was like many immediately interested and hooked so i was thinking about buying the Wayfarer pack but from what i’ve read on discord the servers are down atm, so my question was that if i buy the pack now would i encounter any problems or would it just be delayed?

tulip hatch
#

The game that is down is Apocalypse which is free to play so owning the pack won't affect you playing the game once it's available
The mmo testing phases are expected to begin in Q2 with the alpha 1 test

#

As for when you should buy the pack I'd wait till intrepid updates us on the status of the website just to be safe

vocal patio
#

@crystal beacon actually the way I read it, AoC will be a PvP focused MMO with certain PvE elements.

modest sierra
#

I think you switched pvp and pve

cedar talon
#

yeah you read that wrong

fathom egret
#

AOC will be a PvX MMO where both PvE and PvP will play major roles in the world. PvE will build up, PvP will tear down , and thus the world is constantly changing. Having one without the other would cause the game to become stagnate which is not the intended goal. PvE activities will sometimes overlap with PvP activities (such as the caravan system) and PvP activities will sometimes overlap with PvE (such as building up the nodes surrounding a castle).

keen raft
#

@simple ether is the intent for apocalypse to continue running parallel to ashes mmorpg once development has concluded- or are they planning on shutting down apocalypse , perhaps integrating that pvp gameplay into the mmorpg to consolite the player base into one game / one server? Or am i making the correct assumption in assuming its still relatively unknown since its a ways out?

cobalt zephyr
#

@keen raft not to answer out of turn. But as I understand things apocalypse will be persistent with embers and skins won there carrying Into the mmo for players who decide to play the mmo

keen raft
#

Sure its stand alone now, but has integration components, is the intent to keep it running even after the mmorpg has released?

#

@cobalt zephyr i get that part for sure, i know that piece crosses over and skins/embers. But i'm wondering if they will shut it down on launch of the mmo to force that player base into the mmo and incorporate apocalypse into the game.

#

@simple ether ah ok, so it is possible 30 weeks post feb launch they may not continue it if not viable or if the strategy changes.

#

Okay, sounds good. Yes , aware of how sieges work with nodes etc. Just didnt know if they were planning on doing apocalypse style maybe

#

instanced pvp in the mmorpg and shutting down the apoc to shift player base.

#

Sounds good. good to know. thanks.

hey guys. I was "scouting" AoC for a long time but kinda lost it amidst many things. Looked back into it and I see that My.com will publish the game in EU. Have devs talked about that? I might be wrong but that seems like a huge mistake. Is there anything I can read about it?

@hard karma they have talked about it. i'll see if i can find it somewhere.

#

@shut mantle I agree, but i think a lot of us thought end of business week was implied since a lot seems to fall with them on the friday! I know @simple ether had been mentioning friday to a lot of people in the question forum, I suspected it would be if not a full update on Friday at least a break of silence. I'm sure they're working hard on a solution. Didn't think a one line update would be out of the question though even if the solution isn't available yet.

shut mantle
#

My guess is they are waiting for the new spokeswoman to take control of that on Monday

keen raft
#

@shut mantle Perhaps, but if they wait until monday they will effectively break the promise of a update by end of week. That would be a bad PR move . Early in the development of a game, deliverables /promises mean a lot. They need to maintain the faith of the consumer base. Do you think maybe she'd just make the announcement sunday instead? I wouldnt be surprised , or I would think Steven would sunday if she wasnt ready until monday to at least break silence before end of week .

#

@shut mantle Something is happening with the account migration today though- all my purchased items have been 'removed now' from my account it seems and are possible 'in transit' , my apocalypse earned rewards are still showing.

Hello, I see that the combat style at videos of the Alpha on pve is different to apocalypse combat style. Wich will be the final combat style for the game when it finally release ? I ask because I like most apocalypse's combat style for both pve and pvp

small pecan
#

Trix, the combat in the MMO will be more like the combat seen in the MMO footage. however, heavy action combat elements will be incorporated into the combat from Apocalypse

#

and the action ability range will be in line with normal MMO ability ranges

#

of course, it's all in pre-alpha.so it'll be much more polished!

tulip hatch
#

The plan is to make a hybrid combat system that incorporates both action and tab target
We have a while before seeing that system come into play

wise cedar
#

Ohh that sounds good

#

I don't like much tab target combat system, but sure will be action combat when doing pvp right ?

tulip hatch
#

You will be able to choose skills that are action based but you can't go 100% action

proven arrow
#

75% either direction

#

you will be forced into "some" of each

Ohh now I'm curious about how it will be xD

Crazy well, noooow you wait until the system is implemented for testing
A slow tortuous wait

wise cedar

Yeah hahaha 😄

tidal scroll
#

Is the Combat in Apocalypse the same as the actual game?

hidden crane
#

@tidal scroll No. The final game will have a mix of action and tab targetting.

#

Last year in the Alpha 0 test, we tested out the tab target combat for the MMORPG

#

With apocalypse and the BR we tested the action combat side of things

#

the final MMORPG will have a mix of both Tab and Action resulting in a new hybrid combat system for the MMORPG

#

You'll have the choice to use whichever combat system and its pertaining skills to suit your playstyle

empty fjord
#

but.. you can't go 100% of either

vocal patio
#

Nope.

crystal beacon
#

Well, it will be interesting to see which one is actually superior or has advantages over the other. It would for example be a incredible advantage to be able to chose tab targeting for ranged weapons over real aim

muted lichen
#

yeah, but theres gonna be pros that take action combat to the next lvl

#

so it should be fun with everybody playing differently

#

I personally prefer to tab target as I've mainly played WoW all my life, but I'll probably swap the options every now and then to spice things up

Can anyone buy cosmetics seperated from the packages on the website ?

crystal beacon

No matter how pro your aim is, a 100% hit Chance will always take the top spot

edgy basin

If you are pro enough to have say 80% accuracy

#

and the action damages 200 vs the tab damaging 100

#

that persons best choice, if the target is above 100 hp, is the action

teal junco
#

@lyric osprey I've been trying to find it too. I really want the ones from this month but I can't find the location to buy just the cosmetics. Only bundles that include access.

flint sable
#

@teal junco you need to purchase one of the packs before you are able to buy the cosmetics individually. They are tiered so the base back will only have the cloak in it while the highest one has everything in it

#

once you have purchased a package you are able to purchase any of the following months cosmetic associated with that tier by itself

#

@flint sable I already own a braver of worlds pack from kickstarter. I've been able to see the individual cosmetics on the previous website. Just not the new one.

Why buy into a gane for over 500 bucks without checking stuff out first???

elder terrace
#

It's mostly for cosmetics and being able to help support fund a game before it's initial release.
It's optional, too.

I chose the biggest option because there are tons of people who are working incredibly hard behind the game.

#

And while I only paid a small fee, just knowing it's going towards development and supporting the team, makes me feel really good about my decision.

Its a game I want to see take off and if that means giving the devs money while I wait to play, so be it. It's part of the process.

I've been playing MMORPGs for 15+ years and this is a new twist on a dying genre. This game is probably one of the last MMORPGs I'll ever play. Spending 500$ to see it take off while the 'getting is good' is not a big deal.

Have we seen any gameplay that is not within the "apoc-world"? Cheers

tulip hatch
#

Alpha 0 had gameplay prior to the apoc world

crystal beacon

Sure there is. It's called receipts.

#

so wait, I'm sorry for asking redundant questions, but will castle seige be available to beta testers at first or no

tulip hatch
#

Thats alright, initially its supposed to be Alpha 1 testers only but that may change depending on developer decisions

#

Now to be clear, when you say beta testers are you referring to individuals who purchased the packages with beta 1 and 2 access or the free to play beta testers? @winter canyon

crystal beacon
#

So how Kickstarter can upgrade badges now?

#

the shop shows still standard packages

tulip hatch
#

The site is still being worked on with a new dev team to assist in the repairs, some people can see the upgrade options and some cant.
For now you just have to wait until the devs provide an update on the website status

crystal beacon
#

also hope they allow us to change Email Address

#

because it shows my old on the left, but the new one on the right

tulip hatch
#

Thats odd, well the option will be available once the systems are working properly

cobalt zephyr
#

@crystal beacon I have the same issue

winter canyon
#

@tulip hatch free to play

tulip hatch
#

Alright then no you wont be able to access the Siege modes until after closed testing has taken place once the devs feel its stable enough itll be available for public testing
this cycle will repeat for horde mode as well

winter canyon
#

got it, thanks for the info

tulip hatch
#

blobheart youre welcome have a nice day

winter canyon
#

you too

cinder ridge
#

can't buy individual cosmetics for this month, what do?

tulip hatch
#

The website is being worked on, the cosmetics are being extended until website issues are resolved so theyre accessible to everyone!

#

So worry not friend you wont miss out

cinder ridge
#

thanks @tulip hatch ❤

balmy wagon
#

a question, is it true that my.com will pubish the game? or are them just rumors?

rare scroll
#

it's a fact

#

they will publish it in europe, not in the states

#

but as the game will not be region locked, you can still play on american servers

balmy wagon
#

so at the moment a states' server isn't confirmed?

rare scroll
#

What he said 😉

balmy wagon
#

ty u both!
(PD: thanks god, i don't trust my.com no more after RO xD)

rare scroll
#

I'll try it for at least a month... if it doesn't deliver, then I'll go overseas

#

a VPN would then perhaps be interesting... depends on the ping of the East Coast servers

stone cobalt
#

What's the status of the Forums?

jagged tide
#

is the game up right now?

still wyvern
#

@stone cobalt The forums are still down. They're still working on data migration.
@jagged tide the game's not up until 11th. Refer to #news for more details.

jagged tide
#

thank you very much. i just lost in all this infos 😃

Can we get some more consistency in the marketing medium channel used for communication ? @tight gale waiting all week post Stevens last news update and then when it came ( on Sunday not end of week ) I had to dig for it . Why would we have a bunch of news update s in news then random updates we wait on all week in the discussion tab not even pinned - should we expect more consistency ? See example

#

Don’t want to have to dig for updates in the future . 😃

crystal flax
#

It actually is pinned though

keen raft
#

Is it pinned now ? To discussion?

crystal flax
#

I remember yesterday people being told to look at pins for the update

keen raft
#

Ah well at least it appears to be pinned now . Even still , why discussion ? When everything has gone through news channel - and the latest piece on news says “ update by end of week “ and then there’s no update there . It just doesn’t make sense .

stray current
#

And Sunday is within the week. Monday is the start of the week.

keen raft
#

Told by who to look at pins ? From other discord users ? Or the devs /CM somewhere and I can’t find it ?

crystal flax
#

Other users after the fact, whenever anyone asked about an update

keen raft
#

Yes . Exactly lol

#

That’s silly . The communication should be directly below the latest news as the next update . I shouldn’t have to “ dig “ .

tulip hatch
#

blobpeek we always encourage people to check pinned messages for any information

#

These updates aren't always in news as they more often than not sent after someone asks steven a question in the normal channels

keen raft
#

@tulip hatch and that’s fair . But when the main dev updates are all in news and then a random post in discussion gets pinned in response it just makes it harder to follow and doesn’t really make sense from a marketing consistency stance for communication to the player base . If I scroll through news I should see all the latest news updates as they roll out . That post was definitely news it was the update that’s not even debatable .

#

@tulip hatch that’s the challenge with one off responses . I enjoy Stevens communication . But official communications should be posted consistently when they are directly related to news in the community to the player base .

tulip hatch
#

😄 i understand that, we'll be working with Maggie to organize and streamline updates more clearly but it'll take some time, so bear with us while we figure things out!

keen raft
#

I suppose I just find value in having the news communication from official devs all together . Maybe I’m alone on that . Lol

#

For sure . Sounds good 😃

@crystal beacon it was a question

strong nexus
#

my user and password for the alpha would nto work for the last one any ideas? i have emailed intrepid several times (5 to be exact ) and hanve messaged mods here with no responce, payed 500$$$ for the alpha and not getting help> can anyone help me here

crystal flax
#

The game's not up right now

strong nexus
#

when it was i couldnt use it in december.

#

was wanting to know why or if it was brok

crystal flax
#

When did you try? Because it was taken down towards the end of December

strong nexus
#

in december

#

the 12th

#

i believe it was the 12th

crystal flax
#

Were you using your normal website account or did you create an account like emails at the time instructed you to do?

#

Because that was during a time when you were supposed to make a new sort of account purely for testing, which would only be used for a short time

crystal beacon
#

Anyone able to explain what the compendiums are?

#

I'd go for the real world definition but the real world seems to be dellusional sometimes

stable plover
#

@crystal beacon A compendium is a collection/set of things - I'm not sure about the context of your question

crystal flax
#

One of the items on the website mentions a compendium, I believe it's something to do with the Legendary path

stable plover
#

I assume Compendium in that case describes the legendary path as a collection

crystal beacon
#

Yeah, the season 1 item in some of our profiles - any chance you can get a 100% verification on that @stable plover?

crystal flax
#

The first season of Apoc is called "The Exodus" so I think it's a pretty safe bet, but yea 100% confirmation would be needed otherwise

trim forum
#

does any tier of backer get lifetime legendary path? or is the first "season" the most that any backer tier gets?

crystal flax
#

I believe any A1 backer tier got lifetime, but I can't remember for certain, it was said on one of the recent livestreams if you're able to go back and look

ruby swift
#

A1 get APOC legendary lifetime. A2 and below get first season for free.

trim forum
#

nice, thanks for the info

crystal beacon
#

Where can we expose our suggestions?

stable plover
#

Depends a bit on what sort of suggestion you have. For game design suggestions I would usually have recommended the game design section of the forums, which are currently down. For a large well constructed post the AoC reddit wouldn't be bad in the meantime. Ashes Discussion is a good placed for it to go if you have some sort of suggestion that you want people to talk about (assuming the suggestion is Ashes related, Community discussion would probably be reasonable if it's not Ashes related). If your suggestion is something like 'You guys should fix bug x by doing y' it probably goes in bugcrash reports with hopefully a bit more detail.

When will alpha 2 be out? Roughly

ruby swift
#

The estimate given several times is Q3 2019

silent lantern
#

@keen raft I didn't know Sunday was NOT the end of the week... Wait, it actually is WaitWat
I think that is about the first time that they do an update on a not news channel. I guess people do really pay more attention to the bad stuff rather than the good. Even if Steven did post an update in #news there will still be people wondering where the update is.

silent lantern
#

@strong nexus During December there were a lot of issues with the game and many people weren't able to play it. There isn't really a Blizzard level support team (i think it is 1 guy or something like that) and there was a backlog of 9k tickets last time i submitted. It takes time to go through all of them.
Patience.

cosmic yew
#

do I need to buy the wayfarer pre order to start playing

empty fjord
#

currently nobody is able to play, on the 11th and forward every weekend they will be doing limited testing of apocalypse, Alpha and Beta testers might or might not get invited depending on how many people they need. @cosmic yew

cosmic yew

oh, gotcha.

Does anyone else have extra embers on their account?

more than 2 account still no key nice

true delta
#

hey, im going through the AmA atm but due to time zones I couldn't ask my question

#

did anyone ask why they chose to release apoc as a standalone product? also how much resources are expected to be funneled there as it needs balancing and such to be an actual product by itself

#

considering the mmo will have gear and other variables balancing should be different from the mmo to apoc

heady quartz
#

She will be back 10:30 PST for more questions

true delta
#

thank you, i will hopefully get to ask my question

crystal flax
#

Roughly 8 hours

true delta
#

Yeah, I found the conversion

#

I just was asleep last night

#

I'm in Bulgaria so I'ts gonna be 8:30 PM for me, and last night's AmA was after midnight I think and I was sound asleep by then

silent lantern
#

Watch the last 2 or 3 streams and you will get your answer or just watch a youtube recap video @true delta

hidden crane
#

@true delta They've answered your question already, initially the testing was for a small amount of users.
Having Apocalypse as a standalone provides the devs with numerous benefits ranging from allowing better testing, more data etc. to working as a marketing strategy. Battle Royale players that normally wouldnt touch an MMORPG might find interest in trying out AoC because of Apocalypse and the way they are connected.

#

Regarding the second half of your question, Steven confirmed during one of the streams that a small part of the team will be working on Apocalypse.

true delta
#

I see that's good to know. It will continue to stay as a standalone product after the MMOs release, correct?

hidden crane
#

That is what they currently intend to do, correct.

proven arrow
#

Think hearthstone for blizzard

#

Instead of comparing to fortnite as many do

true delta
#

I'm not comparing to FN at all, I don't mind the standalone product. I was only curious about the manpower required to support it since if you want people to actually like it you need to either set stats to what you're balancing in the MMO as a baseline for the BR so everyone is equal and you can kill two birds with one stone, or completely rebalance it separately

hidden crane
#

As Intrepid have stated a few times already, everything in the BR is basically MMORPG assets that are modular (meaning they can be tweaked/adjusted depending on the game mode/game type)

true delta
#

No, no I was talking about numbers.

hidden crane
#

Getting to that

true delta
#

ah sorry :d

hidden crane
#

For example, let's take the shortbow in the BR. All the skins/variants are present in the MMORPG, it'll have its own unique stats etc that will require balancing/tweaking over time.

#

However in the actual BR itself, the shortbow simply functions as a weapon skin which deals a flat amount of damage (depending on whether you land a headshot or not)

true delta
#

Oh, so they're not balancing it the way I thought :D It is just a legit weapon in the BR

#

Oh well that makes the workload much lower, indeed

hidden crane
#

So with UE4, they have the ability to develop assets that are used for both Apoc and AoC, with their own unique stats/numbers. Meaning they're two completely different games.

#

Since they're modular, they're able to swap and move things around with ease

true delta
#

Yeah, that's the beauty of software development :D

#

That makes perfect sense to be honest

#

if they do indeed follow through with that it should honestly help with the mmo development
