Doesn't really change what I said to do tho 
If i wasnt losing €100 in fees, maybe id buy it lol
And you don’t need to be an ass
Message LieutenantToast on the sidebar

Ok, don't message her then
Keep complaining that you don't have the roles/access to alpha

Do you enjoy being toxic?
vat is rough
Fuck me for telling you how to solve the problem right 
You can use a vpn and buy from the US. I did that when I was deployed in EU
Most free trials would be enough 😉
Why the anger there Toast? Quite unbecoming
Do you know how long it takes for forum to reflect the new bundles? dont wanna submit a ticket if it just takes a day or 2
Try logging out and back in, if that doesn't fix it then message a mod or Toast
I did try it, ticket it is then
After you log out and back in, do a Ctrl+F5 to hard refresh.
If you still don't see it, please send me a DM with your forum link 😄
So far it sounds like relogging on the forums and doing a hard refresh with Ctrl+F5 has made sure the role shows up for everyone

- You are the most helpful person in just about any Discord server I belong to.
- You are always so patient and helpful here.
- Try to ignore us asshats best you can..... we suck and we know it!!!
I think I got my Discord connected.
Am I supposed to get a different client or installer from the NDA A1 I been using with you?
You definitely did get your Discord connected, let's chat in the proper places about it! 
direct me Obi-Wan-Ketoasty
Look just below the questions channel
yes you get access to all A1 tests NDA or no NDA
March 10th - June 1st are spot tests. If there is a spot test currently happening then yes you would have access
I purchased the A1, how do i organize what i need to so im ready when the time comes?

Hey ladies and gentlemen, I have also purchased the A1 package but yet to see an update on my account with the A1 role that can be followed up on with said command that was just posted above. Is there a way to ensure that I pick that forum role up?
is it just a waiting game for now? Im a bit confused by the info provided after purchase
Yeah that's basically what I just asked hah
Connect your discord with your ashes account
Might want to delete that as that's NDA

Whether a spot test is happening or not during this period is NDA
i think you have to logout then login and hit Ctrl+F5 for it to show
Thank you sir!
@maiden fable @hybrid veldt As noted, please try logging out of and back into the forums, and doing a hard refresh (Ctrl+F5), then visiting that testing category again!

Question about cosmetics did we ever get a reason to why this is a thing?https://www.reddit.com/r/AshesofCreation/comments/n2lx5s/development_update_4k_60m_raid_boss_gameplay/gwlin65/
Just 1
F

actually a great question @crystal beacon how come we cant buy multiples of one cosmetic if we want it for multiple characters
thats not what im asking at all. im asking what was the reason given behind the decision to limit/restrict cosmetics appliances?
would be better if it was how ESO did it, where we have a menu of our cosmetics that we can attach to any character at any time
@crystal beacon i know ur not but in the reddit is also talks about the fact that because their limited, why have a timer. which leads me to the question if ur gunna have a timer on tranfering cosmetics why cant i just buy multiples
Hi guys, please take this discussion down to the #aoc-discussion channel now, thanks 🙂
oh i was hoping a mod would have the answer, sorry!
Sorry, I don't have an answer to that question
My advice is to ask during the next dev livestream Q&A
Was told Cleric, Mage, and Tank earlier.

awesome thank you 😀
Any way we can check our website inventory for the 2020 Pre September statue thing yet? Not seeing it rn. No worries if not, just curious haha :)
Ranger is also in there
afaik the covid statues haven't been credited to any accounts yet, so it won't show up on the inventory.
Thank you! Last question... I promise lol: Do you know what ship type this month's cosmetic is? Looks like a small to me
💙
We don't know the answer to that, sorry
All good, thanks!
A friend of mine set up an account for ashes today and missed the spot to put in my referral code, is there a way for him to put the referral code in after he created his account?
No, once you've made an account you cannot apply a referral
oh darnit
any Mod that can help me to upgrade my forum access? Toast seems to be off 😦
Lol why is the alpha 1 $500 I’ve already spent 375 last month hahahh jeez
Then you can upgrade for 125
Login to your account and you will be able to upgrade for just the difference between the 375 and 500 (to upgrade to Alpha 1)
Ahh I see that makes sense thanks guys :))

does upgrading from voyager plus to the alpha 1 pack give you this months cosmetics?
yes
yeah was ganna say they aint in my inventory
you said give you access
you can buy them as addons
i didnt say it gave you them
oh wait i misread your question
Wut
sorry a bit tired
Go 2 bed lex

you can choose any of the current cosmetics as individual items
yeah ik was hoping it'd give em for upgrading 
all good
Alpha1 Access, 2 Months Sub time and the extra embers is what you get when upgrading from 375 package
Question about weapon, will we be able to swap for any weapon any time or only the one we have equipped?
Weapon swapping in the Ashes of Creation MMORPG will be subject to a cooldown period following any damage taken or done by the player.
The cooldown will be in the range of a few seconds. For the MMORPG we want there to be some time between damage received or damage done before you can swap your weapon. It's not going to be substantial. It will may...
Thanks!
I havent had a chance to play AOC in any form seems some have.... How is the combat system feeling... I would LOVE to see AOC have a Black desert Combat feel... its early yet in the game and it doesnt look like it does proly more like WOW than BDO. But damn BDOs combat was pretty... Just the rest of the game was shit.
Can't really say aside from what's shown in the preview videos
Seems like it still has some work to do tho based on that
Ya seen some vids too seems sluggish at a glance and the character models walk funny so stiff like
That's a bunch of polish tbh. Game's in alpha. They got time to fix little stuff like stiff character models of they decide it's even a problem
Just seems with all this focus on wars n pvp that combat should fly like BDO's does
Not necessarily
Ya thats why im commenting now to hopefully get this out there i played a very little of bdo was loving the combat but my buddy was like no point aint nuttin to really do at the end of it
AOC been my long lost lustful mmo i seem to be dreaming of if they can make all the stuff they talk about happen and polish it up nice especially combat (for me)
not just press a button and firebolt
Ashes definitely isn't going for BDO style combat
ya sadly didnt seem that way
It will be a 1 button press = instant skill type of game
just once its polished it proly still be pretty overall
If anything, for the tab side of the combat you can probably expect something similar to ArcheAge
Any mod awake?
Wish they would do a shop package just for gametime and all the test faces maybe the name reservation... Wanna drop 500$ but i fear my wife will kill me before i actually get to play it lol
phases*
I believe you get name reservation no?
And you do get game time according to the package you get as well
What's up?
@stable plover Can you help me to upgrade my forum account?
I'll DM you
Perfect! ❤️
Hello does anyone knows if they’re going to release a leader of men racial skins in the future? I seen the angel and demonic racial skin sucks i missed out
All skins seen in the past are listed as exclusive and are not set to be re-released. I hope that answers your question.

Is there a list of confirmed A1 classes? The wiki mentions ranger as slotted for A1 but I haven't heard much about it, but I'm dying to try it
It goes a little outside of the scope of AoC, but do Intrepid employees get stock options or other forms of equity?
no mention here, so probably not:
A1 stock unlimited?
seems like it. The price tag seems to be the demand limiter in this case; not the supply.
Hi , how long is the A1 sale gonna be? I need time to save money
@limber spire end of June.
ok thanks
look up 😄
thank u
Where and how do I sign the NDA for A1?
If you are in A1 you will know. If you still don't. Contact a mod.
if i have a question i want answerd by the developers, where can i post this?
just like the questions they do at the end of each live stream.
You can post it on forums. Could be you get a response. They have done that a handful of times over the years. Or you post it in the monthly thread for the livestream. If it fits all the rules, like only one question instead of multiples, hasn't been asked or answered before, you might get it answered then. The Community Manager here also goes over that entire thread and either gives links to previous answers or follows up on ones that need attention. Discord it just gets lost in the scroll by.
thanks!
Do we get any e-mails or anything after upgrading to A1?
I upgraded but no email or invitations or anything
@gray cliff no email or invit right now. If you have your alpha 1 role on forums and here your good
Was about to ask that
@gray cliff you probably need to link your discord and intrepid account cause you dont have the role
Same for you @uneven rampart
Thank you!
Yw
is the login for the forums the same as the account on the main website? im having issues registering it just takes me back to the homepage
It is the same, if you keep having issues contact a Mod in here
I've successfully gotten my tag 👌
im trying to do the same but having issues - can I pm you Jackolous?
You cant log in to the forums?
Have you logged into the normal Ashes site first and tried that way
I connected my Discord account with Intrepid here
@glad thistle
will try this
well need to make sure your forum access is up and running first so lets sort that out
thanks jack
lol
i got it :3
thank you for the help, looks like I actually fudged my password at first

I couldn't quite find the post that answer this: are players allowed to stream their gameplay during Alpha 1?
tldr: Yes
Okay thanks 😂
The ones that have No NDA are the ones you're allowed to talk, stream, anything.
Maybe in the future there will be additional A1 testing phases that might be under NDA (like spot testings), we do not know yet.
But A1 should have it's NDA fully lifted, yes since that has always been the deal.
I knew what it meant, but thought it wouldn't hurt to ask anyway. Thanks 🙇
I just realised how dumb I looked just now... 😂 😅

Ok thank you so much
Youre welcome~
are the skins from the pre order packages locked to 1 character?
You can use them on all characters, but you can use Costumes on one character at a time. So you have to take it off from one to put it on another
Got it! thanks
Is there going to be an EU server on any of the A1 test or only NA? Or there is no info yet
EU and NA servers were stated to be present in Alpha 1
However we do not know if that is the case for the upcoming tests, Intrepid will provide more information to their testers via the test channels and forums
If you are a tester it is best to utilize the test questions channels for questions related to the test since some are under NDA and can not be answered here
Roger that my apologies

Ok tyty
Trying to order a package from store but payment via credit card does not seem to work. Is this a known issue?
It may be being blocked by your bank, that has been the case for folks having that issue
i am not getting a decline, it just goes to a blank browser window
Try using a different browser/incognito mode
that worked 🙂

if i buy the $75 pack and next month want to buy the $150 do i pay $150-$75 for it?
Yes, you just add up to it

Ok, i check this discord once of two weeks..Any release date yet? 👀
No
Atm the only dates theyre providing are test dates/upcoming dates
we have dates for a few Alpha test sessions only
Come back in 2 years instead
Oh! Ho ho ho! ..2 years lol
Probably 3
i wouldnt say 3
Ahh..that hurts waiting impatiently
I think alpha 2 will come out a year from now and beta testing will be shortish
If the guild limit is 300, can a guild leader make three guilds and ally them to make a 900 member guild using their alt characters?
i through they augment to 100 from 50 the maximum guild member ?
You can have 4 guilds in an alliance (so 1200 total)
I don't think there is anything that would prevent that, unless you have to be online as the guild leader when the alliance is being formed 
ok

Will there be more AMA with Steven?
There may be but until its announced we dont know when the next one will be
That's under NDA
If I were to upgrade from a Kickstarter Founder pack to the Braver of Worlds pack at this point in time, would I still receive the lifetime subscription?
Yes
Wait can you still get a kickstarter backer tier.
If you bought in to KS already during the backing time, you can still upgrade any time.
But if you didnt you cant? I just started following this game in april for context
Correct. You need to have paid into Kickstarter while the Kickstarter was active.
Thanks
All Purchased Cosmetics will be accessible during A1 testing?
nor should it be the focus of anyone buying this test
Good morning all. What was the name of the software/tool that they upgraded from 4.25 to 4.26 recently? I'm blanking on it
Unreal Engine I think
Unreal yep
Fuppo
Yeah that's it. I'm asking because a recommendation was shared in a stream that Steven should be using UE Spectator Mode to film clips to be much more viewer friendly such as the dragon fight last stream. What would be the best method to get that recommendation to him? Through Toast?
You could make a forum post.
i think you can just pm him lol
toast and margaret are most likely to see your recommendation
Do we know if the A1 will be launched through a browser or a program?
And will we create a game account or login with our intrepid account?
How long will the A1 stay in store cuz i wanna buy it and help but i dont really like the cosmetics so i would gamble and hope i like next months more
June 30th
It will be an application (program). And most likely you will login with the same credentials as the Intrepid website
Thank you very much 😄
Will we be allowed to Pre download the application before the Preview next friday?
Node Blog 3/4... Any info on these long lost treasure troves?
Is there a time info about when the Alpha-1 preview starts on May 14th?
Any information related to testing will be provided to the testers in their designated testing channels/forums and emailed
Questions related to testing should be asked in the testing section if you are a tester as a lot of information currently is under NDA
What happens if some break the NDA ? i saw alot on Games before Launch alot wouldnt care if being under NDA
Depends on the severity, but could end in revoking and banning the offender
Revoking keys
they could simply make a alt account doesnt solve anything
If they had NDA info they paid $500. So they’d be out $500 lol
Correct worst case scenario you lose your entire game account.
You would have to purchase Alpha 1 again if they want access to that again
For those of us who have bought the newly rereleased alpha 1 packs, when can we expect to receive our key as well as be able to download the client so we are ready for testing?

I bought the Alpha 2 pack back in August 2020, can I ask about the play times and any limitations compared to the Alpha 1 pack currently on sale?
There is no key to receive, access is directly tied to your account
follow the steps provided by the bot to get access to the testing channels and more info
Alpha 2 has no known ETA atm, it will remain on sale until further notice.
A2 will be persistent testing unlike A1 which will be sporadic
is there a limitation on the time available online? Like a certain amount of times allowed to be played in Alpha 1?
No its based on when and how long the servers are online since its not persistent testing in Alpha 1
A1 servers will go online whenever Intrepid needs testing done so it wont always be up is basically it for limitations for testing periods
Will you be able to choose on which server you test the alpha1 (EU/US)?
Likely yes
How long is the alpha 1 sale going for?
Lasts till june 30th
Ok bet
So if I get a package and it says I get x embers, can that be used to buy cosmetics during development or can it only be spent when the game launches...
Only once game launches
No, name reservations have not been announced
Ew they use xsolla lol.
I hate that company so much
is next months alpha testing gonna be NDA as well?
no NDA
Non NDA content will be streamed starting May 14th
quick question. When I try to link my discord with the AoC account it keeps saying I need to verify my account, But it is already verified. Anyone having this issue as well?

What's the max level for alpha 1 atm, 15?
15 yes
I wonder if that'll go up with the month long test. Iirc all of the tests so far have been a week at a time or spot testing.
Dont see why the level needs to be increased for testing. Considering the classes wont be in alpha 1
Yup
You mean sub classes?
Yes
That's 25 so could go up to 24 before that.
Why though
I mean if the content isn't there then okay
No. Not all arch types are going to be in either. This was gone over in a stream at one point.
That's what I mean i dont think there is any
Just made me wonder bc of the month long test.
That's quite some time to test. So wasn't sure how much content there will be
There will most likely be more alpha 1 test just none announced
They went over some of the content last stream
so from may 14th hopefully we all get new ashes content on youtube and streams?
yes
Why the level matters a bit, It's easier to make the placement of the mobs more natural compared to what actual launch would be like. Intrepid intends to do a mix of mobs of all levels for zones as opposed to having a 1-5 zone, 6-10 zone, 11-15, 16-20 etc
Just seems like alpha 2 test thing. Figured this test was mostly to find as many bugs as possible and to make sure everything works as intended
'Works as intended' includes things like mobs 10 levels above the player not elaborately hunting them from distant areas of the map
^An actual problem in one of the A0 builds
I am a fan of that "Feature"
Also, is the NDA still going to be there for June, or is that the portion that will have the NDA lifted?
No NDA in June for the testing in June -- Past test sessions with NDAs on their video still can't have that released
They also want to make the experience somewhat enjoyable for the players. And since there will be no visual NDA, the whole world will be watching, so a good experience is important
i see that we can link account to discord, how can i go about that?

was pretty straight forward, got it working. ty
Is there any directory with all the gear currently designed for AoC? A friend really likes the Steelreef Pauldron, but is concerned because they'd want the rest of their gear to somewhat match it
The wiki is probably the best source, right?
https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Armor#Armor_cosmetics I don't think that's actually all of it, might have to go through the individual media files on the wiki, but should be most of it
Wish there was an easy way to click next on each photo instead of having to go back each time
Thanks!
Is there a shop bug? I can't buy the alpha access
If you're still having issues use a different browser/incognito
Should we report shop bugs to a mod? I just had a new one no one has mentioned here before.
Oh, interesting. I got to the pay now screen just to test if the shop was working for the A1 pack, then I clicked the X to close the pay now page and I get a text from my CC asking if I just used my CC meaning the site though I clicked Pay Now.
That's concerning
That's a separate bug from the one I was referring to lol
You can mention them here
Report it to us
Either way we'll make sure it finds its way to intrepid
Hmmm
I'll just ping toast so she can look at that
Might ask you for more info if its something they're unaware of
@LieutenantToast#1337
The other bug I had was, after getting to the pay now screen ($350 to upgrade to A1) I closed this screen, deleted A1 from my cart, added the $5 accessory to my cart, and clicked checkout again as I wanted to purchase it and the total price displayed still reflected the A1 pack of $350. If I wasn't paying close attention, I may've accidentally clicked Pay Now
After closing out and retrying it reflects $5
@plucky pawn
Yes please send me a DM with any Shop issues you may be experiencing and specifics, so I can pass any bug reports on to the team!
Sent. I received a third bug in the process of this all. Without me even clicking "Pay Now" it randomly gave me a receipt for the same accessory I already own charging my card a second time without me even adding it to my cart.
OH it was your DM I just closed cuz I was trying to close the one I just answered right below it 😅 pls ping me again!
Now that I got the alpha1 upgrade, how do I get the alpha1 role assigned in this discord?

When is the NDA alpha testing?
You won't know because it is under NDA
the next alpha testing phase will not have NDA

Players receive skill points as they level. These can be used to level up skills (increase their rank) within their active, passive or combat/weapon skill trees.
It will not be possible to max all skills in a skill tree.
In terms of skill progression, players can choose to go "wide" and get a number of different abilities, or go "deep" into a few...

Will cosmetic system be something similar like Guild Wars 2? Changing colors of armour with dyes you find?
i wish i knew about this game when they had the assassin rogue outfit 😢
There are still some pretty cool obtainable assassin outfits in game like these ones
@plucky pawn Regarding the Bugs I DM'ed you earlier, since I never authorized a transaction, will I need to contact support for a refund? I remember hearing you only have 1 refund and I don't want to waste it on something I didn't authorize
refunds are normally handled by customer services
toast is the CM not helpdesk
but she sometimes helps out
Hey, I am from SA and I was wondering if the servers EU servers would be okay for me to still play effectively! as I really would like to support the game for early access.
Yupyup our CS team would be able to tell you if it authorized that transaction successfully, and next steps to take if a refund was necessary 
there is no region locking so you can play on NA or EU servers from anywhere in alpha-1
so between now and launch ifa new cosmetic outfit comes out but you already hae a package can u buy it by itself?
correct
No region locking as long as you aren't under the price harmonization rules
But then again you said Alpha 1
yeah since there is no sub price in alpha 1 theres no price harmonization
only harmonization is steven and margaret singing show tunes
Okay ty!
Who can buy what and the individual prices.
how long does on have to waite to see the info about A1 i click the links and it says i dont have permission
Try relogging
did that even trying on different computer and nothing
try holding control and f5
did all that and nothing
Incognito mode for the last attempt after that if the issue persists dm Lieutenant Toast
Best to provide your forum profile link when you dm her
did that too

Is there a better way to get help with account recovery than the website? I have been trying since February and the “support desk” has been absolutely atrocious
Only Intrepid's official support can help with account recovery (besides the automated system)
Pretty frustrating that they cannot seem to respond, and when they do its “try the recovery link” which does not send me anything
Again.. they do not respond for weeks.. and continually send the account recovery link.. which does not generate a password reset email
Hence my problem since February
Are you sure you have the right email and username?
Yes
Same one on the email I still have from 2018, and that they send me the monthly email updates
There's not much we can do to help you, unfortunately 😦 I'd recommend trying to DM either LieutenantToast or Margaret Krohn as they are the only ones that might be able to help you further

yes!

Is there a way to confirm that I entered someone's referral already? Pretty sure I did for my Voyager Plus but I want to make sure before I buy the Alpha 1?

For some odd reason, whenever I try to connect my Discord account to stuff, some impostor takes precedence, lol
I may need to send out assassins
no, there is another Rhoklaw with a different #
and discord keeps linking to them instead of me
even though I'm logged into my account
thats not possible unless you know their password
well, it is possible, because its happened twice now
some Rhoklaw#1362 keeps getting my discord link requests, lol
is that supposed to be me?
prolly best to contact customer support id say
cause if I view my profile through my name link, it shows Rhoklaw#3395, lol
It's a problem with Discord, not AoC
and I just submitted a ticket
if you go here, which account do you see? https://discord.com/channels/@me
of which account
where does it say?
click the icon at the bottom
ok
at the bottom
Rhoklaw#3395
quick fix change name then link . hard fix log out of discord on your browser and relog with your account if the problem persist contact support.
sounds like youre logged in to the other rhoklaw on browser
weird
since the discord linking system goes through whatever account you are logged into on your browser account
so maybe Google Chrome has the other Rhoklaw info and it's messing with my Discord account
just not entirely sure how that other info got into my Google Chrome
its not that deep
just make sure your browser discord is signed into the same account as your discord app discord
I did manage to correctly link my Discord account the 2nd time because it has a link that says "Not you?" which I clicked on to relog into Discord
yeah just make sure both accounts browser/application are the same if they arent then change that :) anyways glad you got it under control now
I think following the "Not You?" link may have fixed it, because I disconnected my accounts and when I went to connect them again, the correct Rhoklaw was the first to popup
Yup, that prompt is included to make sure that you're logged into the proper Discord account on your browser first 😄
A good way to doublecheck also is to make sure the profile picture matches up!
yep, seems to be all good now, I hope, lol
just not sure how it got switched in the first place
I have upgraded my account to Braver of Worlds, what do I need to do as far as downloading the launcher and stuff for alpha 1? I have not received any emails or seen any links for it or anything

so when you bought the pre order package was you supposed to be sent a alpha 1 key of some kind or will they be sent out over time? since i do have the alpha 1 access on discord / forums and everything is in my account inventory on the website and all
Let's take that question to an NDA area
Np
I am curious about that as well since I am considering buying the $500 pack and would like to know if that means we can start testing right away?
Nope, only during testing dates
!wiki alpha 1
Alpha-1 is a testing release of the Ashes of Creation MMORPG. Alpha-1 will test:
Hybrid action/tab combat. Progression to level 15. This was previously stated to be level 20. 4 playable races. Cleric, Fighter, Mage, Ranger, and Tank archetypes. The Bard, Rogue, and Summoner archetypes will follow later in development. Secondary archetypes will no...
Hey, i just took a look into the shop and saw that i have to pay 125$ for alpha one. But i bought the 430$ bundle wasnt it that we just have to pay the difference up to the 500?
that is probably due to taxes of your country
Is there an alpha 1 section in discord? I have connected my forum account with my discord account.
yes
Oh i dont know i bought that a long Time ago and my Order history says 430
what is the name of the pack?
btw does this apply to the website purchases ?
Wait ill take a look
thats from kickstarter not from the pre order packs
Yes i know
It doesn't count towards store purchases, no
but does it apply to the packs on the website
The refund all backers promise was KS specific

It dosnt tell but it was one with a snow house and a skyrim looking armor

can you show a pic of the pack?

not the account info
May 14th-21st for start of no NDA
okay that was dec 2019
that was a voyager + pre order pack
us price was $375
if you paid 430 its probably including some local tax
Oh wow i payed a lot of taxes than LOL
maybe check your xolla emails if you still have them
@plucky pawn Oh, I see the problem now. The online discord version wasn't the same as my desktop application username
I clicked "not you?"
and logged in again
So the Alpha one will also cost me even more than 125$ than ... -.-
Yup, that'll do it!
you have to add your taxes onto the amounts shown in the store
intrepid just publishes a price $375 then xsolla adds local taxes if applicable
Mean! 😂 but ok now i can go ahead and buy it because I know the price is correct.
Hi, am watching the most recent Dev Update and one of the Q&A questions caught my attention. Are characters bound to a specific server? I can see how it would make sense with how important the map is to progress and development of a character.
Yes
Thankyou!
You cannot swap servers as the servers will all have unique economy's amongst other things
Ya, I thought that would be the case
With the name reservation how exactly does that work I mean with the wipes and such for testing? Does the character stay you just have to repack everything else?
The name reservation is to reserve a name for a character on a live server, not for testing characters 😄 those will get wiped many times as you've noted.
Gotcha so I just have to be first on live day @plucky pawn thank you ma'am for the quick response! One more question how soon do we get the emails for alpha 1 if we just purchase yesterday
We'll be sending you more emails on how to reserve your name as it gets closer to when you'll need to redeem that perk, so you know when you need to do that

Do we know what the max level will be in the final game?

there are no dates known right for alpha 2? i have plenty of time to buy a pack...

Nope, no date for alpha 2

Bard is an archetype in Ashes of Creation.

@carmine ridge The next alpha 1 test is scheduled for May 14th-May 21st
so Alpha-1 preview intermittent spot testing (NDA). is not accessible?
It is
I imagine the answer to this is no, But will we a1 players get any of the cosmetic's we've purchased to use IN a1?
It's unlikely, no @fading valley
Probably q1 or q2 of next year but no set date
so if you die as a non-combatant, do you have the chance to lose your equipped gear/weapons?
When a player dies they disintegrate into ash. The ashes contain any items lost by the player due to applicable death penalties. These ash piles are immediately lootable by any player. Player flagging is not triggered by looting.
A non-combatant ( green player) who dies suffers normal penalties, which include: Experience debt (negative experience)...
a thanks, i just saw the 100% death penalty and thought possessions would be part of that
A non-combattant only drop gatherables on death
wicked cool

Questions regarding the client or tests should be asked in the testing sections as much of that information is currently under NDA
thank you for the feedback lol
But getting to that section is not easy
I did not understand how to get there until you helped me
Thought the 14th may was not under NDA also
Correct it's not under NDA but currently the information we have for a lot of the client based questions are not public knowledge and should only be answered in the testing channel
(It's before the 14th right now)
ok thanks will look for the other section

Hello everyone.It's been a while since i've been here.Are there any updates about the eu servers and all that?
There will be EU servers. What more specifically are you looking for?
Hmm,the last thing i ve hear is that they will publish the game.Just want to know if there were any new updates since then.
We're approaching Alpha 1 right now. With launch still a while out. Alpha 1 will have EU servers as well. There have been a lot of updates so I would encourage you browse the wiki for anything you're curious about
If you have any more specific questions, there are plenty of people here that can help!
I will take a look.Thank you for your time.
I got an answer yesterday from mod Birdie that there won't be EU servers at Alpha 1
I know about the info in the wiki. I'm just saying what i heard about him
Mods can make mistakes too
Looking at the sources on the wiki, none of that is a solid confirmation Gezber
It's all "hopes" and "plans"
The message is from june 2020
But if they know more about it, it's probably NDA anyway
True, mods can make mistakes too 😛
But i think it's an important thing to know on what region you're playing, if i would be on NA servers, and i'm having a huge latency as an EU player, it's probably caus of that...
I don't think the wiki should list that EU will have A1 servers if it isn't confirmed
You might be right
so im about to buy beta 1 access. Could someone help me understand this part here?
2 additional months of game time, for a total of 4 months of game time ($60 Value)
What exactly does that mean^?
you get 4?
Are you upgrading from Beta 2 to Beta 1 pack?
yeah I am
OH ok that's awesome! I thought maybe they were including some additional months with beta1 pack...
Yup, every pack you upgrade to gives additional sub time and embers
and this game time will count as Sub time to the game right?
correct. for when the game releases
Do you understand how the cosmetics work when upgrading packs? You're just going to get the Geyser Glider (pet cosmetic skin) and not the Steelreef Pauldron (accessory cosmetic skin) since you already received an accessory cosmetic when you bought your initial pack
@twin garnet
This can help with that
@tranquil willow I never knew that was a thing. Thank you for this!
how long will the alpha one package be available? will it be purchasable when it starts?
Yeah that much I understand. The game clearly states that it wont be P2W but only cosmetics. It was the game time that sort of confused me for a minute.
oh yeah yeah and one last thing, if anyone knows, what can Embers get you in game?
June 30
Cosmetics haha
@idle siren Can you confirm or deny if there will be EU servers in the upcoming A1 tests? A mod and the wiki have differing information. Thank you!
@near stump they have not put out the details as of yet for the upcoming A1 test and or any changes in previous information.. all that information will be updated and available before the testing date. 🙂
One week seems a bit tight for that info since it could make or break a person's decision to buy with EU being a large customer base. He has talked about this info in the past, but his statements weren't 100% explicit.
Thank you though!
you are welcome. 
Random question. Do I have to do anything special when having the alpha 1 access. Or will I just have to wait for an email to be sent out. Sorry if this has already been answered

I want to purchase a Voyager Pack to help support, maybe even the new Adventurer Pack, but I am a lover of just about every month's pre-order skins/mounts/etc. and dont want to miss out on anything.
My question: Are previous/future pre-order pack cosmetics going to be available post-launch? Can those who have already purchased a package get the cosmetics for months AFTER their purchase?
Previous cosmetics wont come back. You can always purchase future cosmetics individually if you get the pre order packs
That graphic shows you which Pack gets you which cosmetic options
Awesome, thanks, ive never seen that graphic before! Huge help.
With the announcement of TBC classic during an alpha 1 test period, do you think the date for the alpha 1 should be pushed back a month from June to July to avoid competing with TBC? or do you think it just doesnt matter that much since it is just an alpha test
no i don't think it should be. i think it would hurt the image if they delay the game for no real reason, other than getting more views on twitch
also, since wow and aoc target different demographics, i don't think there would be a lot of crossing between those viewers
it's a shame for me, since i wanna play tbc and watch aoc alpha tho lol

are we allowed to stream this one on twitch? 😮
Yes, there are non NDA tests ahead
Im gonna be playing the alpha 1 mwuahaha. Also I stopped playing wow a very long time ago
oh man poggers
No. It's only alpha 1, there's no need to push it back to accommodate WoW
It should definitely not be pushed back. Alpha's are for testing and there will be plenty of us to test.
Was just curious because I was watching an Asmon stream and they were discussing it. It seems very.... odd that Blizzard is releasing TBC extremely quick and during AoC testing times. If im going full tinfoil I would say Blizz is trying to make sure they shadow any promising competition they see considering the hype around Ashes
but more realistically its just Blizzards awful management
id say you are just tinfoil and this is for question, please take discussion in #aoc-discussion
I doubt it. There's no reason for Blizzard to try and overshadow Ashes Alpha 1. If anything, they would want more people to see it as Alpha 1 is meant to be incredibly barebones. Most people don't understand what Alpha 1 is, they think it's like a Korean Alpha where the game is done and it's just marketing, so when they see Ashes alpha 1 a lot of people will be disappointed because it isn't anywhere close to complete
The main reason Blizzard is releasing TBC this early is because 9.1 is super delayed and they need to keep the subs going for Q2.

Even I would be able to understand that 😋
so is the full game going to be a battle royale?
No, it will be a MMORPG
right okay
just lookin at the Apocolypse and their reviews thinking that its the actual game release
yeah ik thats what i mean is it going to be the full game as it was part of the testing phase
they may bring apocalypse back as a stand alone game
but it was never intended to be the mmo
the mmo is not a battle royale
alpha 1 is the mmo not apocalypse
Are the sales for Alpha One down already?
Alpha 1 sales will be up until June 30th
Weird. I'm in the shop but can't see them. I purchased a pack already and wanted to upgrade to get into this one
OH nevermind I'm dumb :v
It blended in with the other stuff haha
if you have a pack you will only see upgrades and individual cosmetic purchases
yup that was it

Will do! Thanks!

Aaaand done!
Will there be no Asian servers?
The world will be the same on each server, but Nodes will develop differently. Different servers will have different narratives. Things that happen on one server may not happen on another.
Servers will be named after the champions of the great battles that led up to the fall of Verra. There will be a multitude of servers located throughout the var...
not for A1 then
ok
Sorry 😦
If we are taking part in the May 14th - 21st test, are we able to Live Stream it? Or are we under NDA?
No NDA for that test. You may stream it
Awesome, Thank you!
Anything you learn before May 14th is under NDA however
Understood.
Are there any stress tests planned for non alpha users?
No
Not at the moment. If there are in the future, you will get an email if you have a key that warrants this
For the general public?
There has been no plans made for an open beta test or stress test
Good one
Will there be any way to know what the current XP is of the node?
Has malestones cap node progresion?
What is "malestones"
They have showed a placeholder UI for this, I'll try to find it
Here it is
You will be able to access this info from your Node
Sorry milestones
Node progression is only limited if there is a parent node a single level above the node in question.
No number to next progression because they don't want people on the mind set of " we need to kill exactly 25448 goblins to level up the node".
ok but just to make sure, grinding on the goblins is the way to go right???
my role still says member even though I purchased access to alpha one how can i get that changed

Muhahah Maggie spam teaches you things
At least up to level 3 nodes, and probably very heavily involved after that, some particular resources (lumber, stone, etc.) might be required up in the higher levels (I think the quotes we have from Intrepid could be interpreted either way on that).
have they revamped the content creator process yet or is that still under construction?
Still under construction last they said
why does this current preorder pack offer alpha 1 acces when others only offered alpha 2?
Because they only just recently re-opened A1 sales
for the Brine armor: is the cape animated? and is it seperate from the chest peice?
so its just tough luck if u dont like this months pack but liked the others more
If you already had the highest tier pack, there's an upgrade option just to get A1
(and a few other things I should clarify that)
If you didn't get the packs then and immediately want A1, yes. You can upgrade an old pack by paying the difference in price, keeping the cosmetics the old pack had
We are normally only shown the concept art
but since i did buy the biggest pack last time this one is the same price but if i wanna get a1 i gotta pay 125 extra
Packages containing A1 have always been $500 (with the exception of some early bird KS ones)
the one i own was heat and harmony one the biggest one pretty sure that was 500 aswell but only a2
If you're referring to the Voyager Plus pack, that was $375, VAT might have made it higher for you
ooooooooooohhhhhh ok that might add up now that u mention that then
Vat always fucks with people
do we have a date on alpha 2 then :p?
no
We do not. A1 might have test sessions after June 30th, June 30th is just as far out as dates are announced.
Hi there my friend who was at my place today and its his birthday on 12 may, so i bought him a pledge package and used my referal code but we both have not received the aurora cl witch is now and june. Is there some wait time?

@abstract bolt you will want to follow these instruction.
Oh if it is a regular package as well that is not A1 then you would want to Ctrl+F5 as well possibly and sometimes it takes a few minutes to update.
Also logging out and back in.
Ok thx
yup if you do not see after a bit please let us know and will try to help out more
Ill check again later

Thanks alot😘
u r very welcome!
where do i submit questions for QnA ?
@sly oriole the Q&A questions are usually collected starting one week before the livestream which is generally on the last friday each month
there will be a post in the #news when the thread goes live
Hey. I'm aware that for the May 14th testing for alpha one will not have EU servers (at least what the wiki says).
Will it be possible to switch servers after the wipe and such for June 1st alpha one?
Well you won't have your character from the May test, so you'll just need to select the EU server when it goes live
oh ok thank u
Testing is wiped between each phase so you'll lose your character on the NA server anyway
Yeah I know but I was thinking my account would stay in NA
That's what I was talking about
No. You'll be able to move between servers freely
Gotcha
You can make characters in multiple servers in multiple regions on the same wipe. There’s no restriction to a single server.
I was following the directions on the Alpha One Testing, and seeing what my Roles were on my Profile. It doesn't say I own Alpha One but I preordered it in July of 2020.
and what pack did you buy?
how do I link my Ashes account to Discord?

wheres the Orange banner?
at the top of link in step 3 😄
at the top of link in step 3 😄
Mmmm how long would it take for me to get the ALpha 1 role was hoping I could link discord and that to get the role since I bought the A1 pack
The linking for me was near instant, but I would recommend shutting down discord completely and rebooting it once the linking has been done
Please make sure you've followed all of the steps in order, step 1 is important to seeing your role update!
(on the forums, that is)
Yea nah im a member still
oh ok
well better find that then But yea did the full restart thing a few times and yea nah not there
You need to log out of and back into the forums directly first. You can do so from the cog wheel in the top right corner.
Yea nah still member
Hit Ctrl+F5. I see your roles have updated.
perv
Easy enough to guess 😉
Op there we go
Yup, all of those instructions were contained in Step 1 above 😄

Will name selections during Alpha 1 be the name selection you have for good or is that later in the future?
name reservations wont happen till way later into the testings
@torpid tangle ty
Is anyone on Alpha 1 playing from Australia?
Possibly. Servers likely won't be located in OCE for Alpha 1 though
Yeah thats why Im asking, because I want to know how bad the ping is, I dont wanna spend my money if i cant even play it
But when i play on wow NA servers the ping isnt that bad at all
No one would know that yet. Alpha 1 non NDA doesnt start until May 14th
what does that mean?
I'll let a mod take over @stable plover
Non-disclosure agreement, the Australian people can't currently tell you their ping
I suppose you could ask someone about how their experience with ping was in a test session from like a year ago....
But, surely they can tell me if it's playable from Australia?
The NDA prevents people from talking about anything in-game. The NDA lifts in 7 days, so you could ask the OCE guilds then
We only know what the employees of the company disclose to us
I used to play Apoc the BR with my friend from NZ and he played on like 200 ms
I'd say safe to guess the ping being between 200-350ms from anywhere in Aus
350 seems extreme
When the NDA gets lifted, people can talk about the test that takes plays on May 14, not previous tests that were under NDA
Northern Australian internet often gets routed through the southern states, so I've experienced 350ms a lot unfortunately hehe
Without yet being able to test, i'd assume equivalent to GW2 for australians.
But I guess you can ask Punthulhu about his latency during Apoc
Ouch
Apoc had SEA servers that worked fine, just had no pop due to most aussies crying about small matches and going to NA
We'll see it in just over a week so I'd recommend patience over guessing
I think they said OCE on launch awhile back so that's awesome at least.
Yup! OCE servers will be available upon launch
Located in Australia most likely
Yeah OCE isn't big enough for a limited and secluded player base to play with each other.
But if it's opened to everyone, then it'll be healthy.
by everyone i mean public access for OCE in general
It will have when the game releases, just most aussies and players in general weren't interested in APOC
And rather the mmo
We're all here for the MMO not br
I personally hateeeeeeeee battle royales, so i chose not to play in it.
I believe i did have access.
Well there ya go
i just played it like hide and seek while testing for bugs
