Not trying to be a buzzkill, but I know it's gonna come up here soon. This is a dedicated Q&A channel so plz bring all discussions to #general-discussion or #aoc-discussion 
But please, ask more questions if you think of any!!!
Yes mum
From what I saw, they turned off the SEA servers and never turned them back on and didn't give the reason in any news channel. So there was pretty much no SEA server.
Sometimes it is true. I know that feel.
Those are Kickstarter ones so yeah, definitely not
so I followed these instructions, and the accounts seem to be properly connected but my forum account doesn't have the Alpha 1 role is there any additional steps beyond linking the discord account?
Your a Braver of Worlds and those instructions are really with the Adventurer A1 peeps in mind. You should be all set
ooo
sweet thanks =)
How do we reserve our name for getting the Alpha One pack/get our key? Also very excited to test the game.
there is some things in the shop that I purchased previously and do in fact show up in my account inventory, but in the store page they don't show as already owned. is that normal?
Name reservation hasn't happened yet
What day should we expect a broadcast to the public as to when the servers will go live on the 14th? I would be sad if I missed the start of the streams

@crystal beaconFollow those^ steps, towards A1 access, name reservations won't be starting for a while
I know you canโt change your main class after selected, but will you be able to flip between secondary classes?
Theoretically at an NPC in nodes of at least level 3, there might be an additional cool down for the switch.
and there is going to be a cost associated with it may be gold or time sink
Ahhh ok so there is going to be some barrier to changing, not just open a tab and change it whenever/wherever. Thatโs probably best. Thanks for the answer
.
I don't know if this was addressed or not but
Is there a chance that with future expansions,etc we get another base arquetype,etc
its possible WAY WAY WAY down the line
@fresh scaffold this is all we've been told about expansions so far
Thanks for the info 
So I'd like to buy that pack soon to get into alpha, but what if I'm not too particular with this current cosmetic set?
Is there a way to get into alpha but get a different cosmetic later?
June 9th will be new set with alpha access but then u miss may test and first 8 days of June
and u might not like that set either
The other alternative is/was to already have had a pack (with different cosmetics) that your upgrading.
This is a rather specific question but it always bugged the back of my mind. What's stopping a sly craftsman from stealing your hard work? As in, you give him the resources and everything, and once he crafts your amazing legendary sword, he just runs off.
There are no gameplay systems to stop that. The only thing stopping it is player reputation
If a crafter starts scamming people they will very quickly be known by everyone on their server and nobody will talk to them
@full badgerThere's an escrow system https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Crafting#Escrow_system You put the resources/money in (option for them to provide mats), they do the craft, at the end you get the item and they get the money
Nice!
that'll come in handy.

Are player levels hidden from each other?
Dont know about levels, but health will be blurred and have different esthetics on it regarding if that player is low-high grade
No, you will be able to tell a players level, not their exact health remaining as mentioned above.
Thank you
Does anyone know how many character slots are planned? I read somewhere that on release it will be a "comfortable amount". Just wondering if I will be able to make at least one of each of the 8 main classes
The "comfortable amount" quote on the wiki is the latest information. Until they say otherwise, that is the amount.
<@&542101075579240448> Dear Moderators, if im a streamer on twitch as a partner and i want to try the alpha tests, is there any chance to get it? And who should i contact with in the first place?
Hi there. We're just in the process of revamping the official content creator program, which you'll be able to apply for soon. Stay tuned for more information.
WoW! Thanks ๐ โค๏ธ
If u want to participate in the Alpha u can also just buy the Adventurer Pack for A1 or the Voyager(+) Pack for A2.
correct. the only pack that offers Alpha 1 access is the Adventurer pack. The voyager + pack gives access to alpha 2 onwards

Hey guys, I just bought Alpha 1 but when I try to go to the forums I get this Whoops!
Request server says: (code: invalid_grant)
@kindred hawkwhich section of the forums are you trying to access?
That sounds like an API error.
@kindred hawk Use this link https://forums.ashesofcreation.com/
okay I got it all working thank you very much!
will A1 testers get an email or something to let us know when we can pre download the client ? ๐

done, thanks ๐
Will the WoW Classic TBC Release have any consequences for the Alpha 1 schedule?
No. Blizzards release windows have no impact on testing here.
why would you think wow will impact aoc alpha?
cuz content creators
will most likely want to play both
so its kind of a rip to be honest
Some companies adjust release times for when they think they'll have the most activity. So if blizz releases TBC, it might mean less notice and community intereaction.
to delay a alpha 1 phase because of content creators ? ๐
Now with Ashes, being a MMO aimed at people who are unhappy with the current model of mmos, its not a likely outcome, but given company history, I see why the question exist.
exposure from content creators is a very big deal for a game release.
but its not a release
No but it is the first actual time where the full community will get exposed to the current state of the game
non NDA that is
since what the devs decide to show on streams is a very curated experience
I think the main point of the question has been answered, might be better to move the rest to #general-discussion
that said, I agree with @quaint coral regarding the fact that it most likely won't have a massive impact on the alpha
alongside with the fact that the alpha was planned way before Blizzard randomly decided to release TBC so soon.

Howdy all; super common question, if we got the Alpha 1 access, how would we download that? Would this occur closer to next week?

Test related questions from testers should be asked in the designated testing channel
emails will be sent out before the test but exact timeframe is unknown at this time
Will we ever see a combat like the ones where Shroud play AoC: Apocalypse? I heard from steven there was copying of codes involved but on certain aspects of game.
Btw, this is the link of apoc video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vzIBfdzVQg
You won't see combat exactly like that, as Apocalypse was purely action combat, whereas the mmorpg is a hybrid system. @hallow dove
!wiki combat
Combat in Ashes of Creation is focused on strategy and tactics.
Combat is the most tactile system in the game. It needs to feel responsive, mobile and fluid. It needs to give a feeling of satisfaction. We want combat to be engaging, fun... Right now we've begun the sprint toward Alpha-1 first phase deployment, so we're really looking into the acti...
I wish it was close to this, but I guess I'll just wait for the revamp. That's all that matters to me at this point. Thank you for answering wandering mist ๐
Asmongold already mentioned that it sucks for him having to choose between both games and that it's highly unlikely that he'll play the alpha then.
so?
why do people care so much about what a streamer does? or feel the urge to play with them?
@wintry quiver let's take this down to #aoc-discussion please guys, and leave this channel open for questions and answers
The conversation continued in #aoc-discussion. This channel is only for Q&A regarding AoC
This topic haas been asked to be continued in the discussion channels and not the question channel
np 

i have purchased alpha 1, linked my discord and intrepid accounts and i dont not have access to the alpha 1 channels, what further steps do i need to take or do i just wait? i also have the role on the forums.
It should happen automatically. Please double check you linked the correct accounts. If you are sure you have, please try logging out of discord and back in again
Make sure you linked the correct discord. Many people have accidentally made a different discord with their browser
logging out and back into discord fixed it, thank you very much!
@light comet The CC program was just announced!!!
oo
they just havnt updated the bot yet
I'm super glad the CC program also includes smaller peeps
\o/
For sure. It was one of the big pieces of feedback we got from the previous Content Creators. ๐
I had a couple meetings and listened to everyone's concerns and thoughts.
listen to people. a DEV? wow
Wow! it's such an honor to get a reply with someone as amazing as Margaret.
Question though, would I still be considered if I'm an up-and-coming content creator? Like, I want to create content and all, but I haven't gotten around to making any since I don't want to do content based on speculation and such, I want to make content based on facts and such.
We are looking for quality of content, so if you have no content to showcase, it might be a hard sell for us. 
Hope that makes sense. ๐
Totally understandable! Maybe later down the line when I've got some content down first, but even so, always worth a shot.

Hey guys. Do there's islands to explore if we sail? (like BDo)

I sent you info if you scroll up lol
Do we know if healers will be pure heal (like gw2) or weave dps rotations too (like wow/ff14)?
We don't know. We've only seen 3 classes, and only lvl 1-10 abilities so far
Healers can spec into damage as well
Sweet, thanks y'all ๐
So I made my account and got in for alpha one, do you guys know if the name I chose will be the same as my in server name?
It will not be. You can make multiple characters in game with whatever name you want. Not related to AoC Website
I hope I interpreted your questions correctly
@near tusk You can also link your Discord to your account to get into NDA testing channels in Discord following these steps

I'm confused on how pet cosmetic skins that are being sold line up with the idea that pets will have different abilities/advantages. Look at the mount for this month for example... I can't exactly put that skin on any old mount can I? That doesn't really make sense. If I have a rhino how can I then turn it into a flying magic sea otter?
you cant. you can only put skins on things that you earn in game that match the type of skin
Ah okay, so I would have to acquire that sea otter type creature first, then that skin goes on top of it?
i.e. that is a water mount cosmetic skin, so you'd only be able to apply it to water mounts
yes
!wiki skins
Pets, Mounts, Costumes, Armor, Buildings and Accessories sold in the cosmetic store are skins.
Skins are cosmetic items that do not grant the user any benefit.
Skins are only be able to be applied to things that have already been earned, crafted or found within Ashes of Creation. Mount skins require a specific type of mount to have been achieved i...
How many subscribers in YouTube you need to have to be content creator?
Intrepid don't care about how many subscribers you have, only in the quality and nature of your content
My content is high quality. 100% Ashes of Creation content. 0 Followers currently. No irl video, or sound feeds. 100% all natural AoC.
Imagine that.. No content to show. Must mean some thing.
no content means not a content creator
I dont have any, just asking when i make one to apply as soon as i get a decent amount.
I wasn't actually planning on being a 'content creator.' Having a tag over my head doesn't mean much to me, personally.
i have some content although its all Conquerors Blade based haha
It's about quality of content, so once you have some content you're happy with, apply!
Alright
even tho i am currently not a known content creator, will i be allowed to stream/make videos on the alpha since i have access to them?
Yup ๐
perfect thanks
Just not until NDA is lifted on May 14th
yes ofc i was talking about on friday
DM me your stream/youtube and I'll tune in!
I submit an application. While I have not fully dedicated my time to AoC yet I put a lot of time/effort into Classic Wow/TBC. Getting back into streaming/youtube more and might start focusing some time towards AoC
I am a paid writer for Wowhead and the wow community so my focus has been with them recently, would this help with my chances at all for AoC?
Sounds awesome! This is the questions channel though. If you want to have a discussion about this, feel free to post this in #aoc-discussion
Make sure when you apply to link to those articles. Content doesn't mean just streaming.
After I finished posting that I realized it didn't sound much like a question but It was originally meant to be haha. Was more or less going along the lines of would it be helpful for me since I have that previously work in my name.
Feel free to put it in your cc application - it's up to Intrepid to decide if it is useful
It can't hurt imo! Good luck ๐
Added it in, will just have to wait and see
Is there a place on the website / forum to reserve my name or is that done ingame at some point?
!wiki name reservations
Name reservations were rewards for backing at the Pioneer level and higher and are currently available through the Voyager plus pre-order pack and Adventurer pre-order pack.
Accounts will have name reservation tokens, that entitle its holder to reserve a name on a specific server when the reservation time comes.
Thankyou โค๏ธ
i am trying to make a signature on the forums.
How do i upload my picture i want to use? or how do i make a url to it ?
c:
you need to upload it somewhere and then add the URL
easiest way is to post the picture on a discord channel and then click on "open original" - that will generate a URL for the image
@junior sky yeah i get that, but how do i know what the url is?
@full badger okay thanks
What Wandering Mist said c: it's just the website to the picture you uploaded
yeah just didn't know how to upload it to somewhere they could read it, never tought of the discord way.
tried to my onedrive but it was ofcause privat so nothing happened. so yeah again thanks to @full badger
A pair of questions:
- Is there an archetype combination that would resemble the playstyle of an Overlord from L2? (Especially the tankiness combined with aoe-debuff aspect)
- How is mana economy for caster and non-caster classes gonna work in the game? Will you need to sit often, occasionally or will you be able just keep grinding / killing a boss with 100% uptime?
Answering your first question, there is not a lot of information regarding class combinations yet. They will be available during Alpha 2 but until then we don't know what each class combination can/will do. However, based on the name it would probably be a Necromancer or Shadow Lord c:
I'll have to look up the mana thing on the wiki. Give me a minute!!
I mean just looking through the information what's available I'm guessing Siren would be similar, but a more concrete answer would be nice
I don't really find anything regarding the mana either. I can imagine it being similar to WoW with items to fill up mana but all I found on the wiki was "Mana is a stat in Ashes of Creation" xd
So how does one get their alpha 1 access? I bought the adventurer's pack, have not received an email or anything of the sort, I thought there were forums and discord channels and whatnot?

will we be able to pet our pets and mounts in the game?
Hi, my intrepid account confirms that my discord and account is connected already, however, the channel isnt showing up - are there any known issues about this?>
You may be connected to the wrong account
Please dm for more info
I had the same problem, Sometimes discord auto-generates a new account for you when you link the accounts, that was the answer, make sure the numbers match up.
all fixed, thanks alluring

I was wondering if they mentioned how many characters we can create during the alpha one.
not an exact amount but a comfortable number, and probably more than what you can create post launch
so plenty
At what time does the non-NDA alpha begin on the 14th? Or is that info not publicly available?
Is apocalypse coming back?
nope
Apoc may return after Alpha 1
does the developement team plan to add more archetypes to the game after Ashes of Creation is fully completed and finished? What other archetypes would you guys like to see/ What would you plan to implement into the game?
(note that this is 100% speculatory and curiosity, and I would much rather have a balanced, well functioning class system then to just add more archetypes into the game)
The thing is...if you add a new archetype you need to add like 9 different classes, so it is a lot of work
Perhaps you'd like to see what the devs have talked about in their expansion plans https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Expansions
thx!
it would increase the amount of class combinations from 64 to 81
it would be a lot XD
hey, i have Alpha 1 access and i have been informed that their is a discord for people with Alpha 1 access? Is this true?

how do i connect my forum account to my discord? i cant find the button
ty
np :)
its unreasonable to expect to be accepted into the content creator program with a very small following right?
they are looking for quality over quantity
so basically you need to make lore or hype videos to be accepted?
no
how would i make quality content without playing the game
you need to make quality content
just telling you the criteria

By making content for a different game in the mean time.
Oh so it works if its just content quality
not ashes content quality
cool then ill probably apply
Has there been any further clarification on Intrepidโs stance regarding cosmetics being a source for reskins in base game?(theyve mentioned that it allows them to make reskins for NPCโs and world building purposes) To clarify further, does that mean that we could see achievable, ingame reskins for players?
https://www.reddit.com/r/AshesofCreation/comments/m5x48s/megathread_cosmetics_discussion/ this reddit thread has the latest responses from Steven on the matter
@sinful wigeon steven said in a livestream some years ago that you won't have to wait long for your mana, because this is player inconvinience and outdated.
Cam corrupted players enter cities?
Yes, but they will be attacked by the city guards
Does military nodes provide any accommodation for corrupted players?
Not that I'm aware of, no

Question: I noticed many people have [Tags] before their names, what does it indicate on this discord? :3
Yep, the [] are guild tags, and since mods can't join any guilds, we use it to denote the region we cover
Ahhhh gotcha much thanketh
mods secretly have a guild that rules all
What can i do to play the game?
the only option im seeing is getting phase 2 which i dont understand.
You can purchase an Adventurer pack and join the Alpha 1 preview test on May 14.
The game is currently in an Alpha 1 state, people who buy Alpha 1 packs are expected to report bugs and give feedback. The game is far from polished, if you expect to play the game and enjoy, please wait until release.
where can i buy that?
The only pack that gives access to alpha 1 is the adventurer pack
O O F my heart, my soul, my wallet
Wayfarer give you access to Beta 2
There is no ETA for Betas right now (or even Alpha 2)
So i must sit down and wait. Welp GG lol
Thank you so much for answering my question, i appreciate you guys and your time.
You're welcome ๐
500$ worth it 1000% btw
So this is a weapon type question; I've become curious while reading over various weapon articles on the wiki. I know dual wielding will be a thing, and daggers are a common choice for such, so the question is this; will there be models in game that appear as Kama, or small hand scythes and sickles in the dagger class of weapons?
Well Sickles aren't inherently Russian alone, they were used all over for agriculture. And kama were used by ninjas and assassins in Japanese lore.
How does the referral stuff work? Do i have to refer just one person and get the 15% in Ember for my next purchase? I am confused
at what time on may 14, will the NDA be lifted?
Whenever the servers go up, I believe you still won't be able to talk about the previous tests that were NDA, only the test that begins on the 14th
When you refer someone you'll get 15% of the money they spend on the game as money you can spend on ashes for subscription/cash shop currency/etc
https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Referral_program I think the Referral program is explained pretty well over there
uff, that totally makes sense ๐ Thanks a lot โค๏ธ
Anytime 
I have asked that question myself a couple times. No response yet. Iโm assuming theyโll announce their plans in #news at least a few days before the 14th.
Was my answer removed?
I received a message from a ModBot about privacy update at the same time so I'm confused
Your answer was removed. No politics allowed.
@vapid veldt ๐ 
pvpppppppppppppppp
I understand, although the mere mention of the name of an ideology isn't necessarily stating an opinion on it, it was just a sickle joke..
Some people find certain words and cringe. Is what it is.
Probably a dumb question, but is the alpha one test going on now? I checked the website yesterday but completely forgot.
Check the below image
Not yet
Thanks yall
Not sure if there is an answer to this yet, but as someone who usually plays lizardmen/dragonborn in various games, will it be possible to toggle off the tail in char creation for the Tulnar?
We don't really have any details on the Tulnar rn. We do know that they plan to have a very in depth character creator though
!wiki tulnar
Tulnar is a playable race in Ashes of Creation. The Tulnar fled to the Underrealm to escape the Corruption that befell Verra.
The Tulnar is a combination of four major races and many minor races that were left behind on Verra after the apocalypse. This was previously stated to be three different races.
Tulnar stands for "the forgotten".
Tulnar are...
Well I know that much already ๐ was hoping there was some mention of the options...hopefully tail toggle will exist
I'd imagine it would if there's gonna be in-depth customization
You can ask that on the Q&A for the next livestream!
When is the next one and also where do I post the question? ๐
They are always the last Friday of the month at 11am PST. The Q&A forum thread opens up about a week prior and is announced in #news
So around 5/21-5/22 the Q&A forum thread will be available
Ah awesome ๐
Do we know what happens after June 30th? Like, is that the end of A1 and next is A2? Asking cuz i want to make an informed choice as to whether or not i upgrade my account to A1 from A2.
There are no confirmed dates, but unlikely that june 30th will be the end of A1
Pretty much a 0% chance that A2 will be any time close to June
Unless you count June 2022
so that would mean that the chances of A1 being much longer than June 1st - June 30th are pretty high?
Pretty much 100%
We already know that A1 will be longer than that, we just don't know the dates for after that
It is just speculation, but most people feel that there will be future A1 tests
We do?
It was even hinted at A1 lasting for the entirety of 2021, but that is discussion I guess
Staff have said before, both Steven when he has done interviews such as his ones with Jahlon, and Toast has occasionally mentioned it
That's an old image from when the A1 dates were April - May, but you can just replace the April - May with June - July and it'll be the same
Great information, thanks every1, i'll need to afk for a while though, gonna read through what u type when i get back. Again, many thanks
Seems the wiki contradicts itself on crafting:
Gathering is a parent artisan path, along with processing and crafting. Within each of the three parent paths lies different professions. You may only ever master one parent path. But you may spend time mastering each profession within the parent artisan path.[17] โ Steven Sharif (THIS IMPLIES THAT YOU CAN MASTER ALL SKILL TREES WITHIN A TREE)
It is possible to master multiple professions (but not all) within this mastered artisan class.[5][2][6]
So which one is it?
The second one
Last we heard you can't master every artisan class within a tree
just a few
Cheers talents

got it, Thank you so much!
why i can't find this packages? https://ashesofcreation.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360026015734-What-is-included-with-my-Kickstarter-Summer-Package-
Those are Kickstarter packages. Those haven't been available for purchase in years
If you were a previous kickstarter backer, you can still upgrade to a higher tier package.
aaah okรฉ
So it is for all of those individuals
i am not sadly
Neither am I ๐ข
how much did there get from the kickstarter
its not in the grand scale of mmo funding
You can upgrade to a higher kickstarter tier if you had one of these packs? Thought you could only upgrade to the regular packages like everyone else.
Hi guys, just a friendly reminder that this channel is for questions and answers, not discussions. Thanks
If you were a KS backer, you can upgrade to any previously offered KS pack
I was answering someone else's question
and i asked some questions
For Ashes, it has the actions have consequences, which is really cool. But I have a question about whatโs going to stop people from Griefing? Is there anything thatโs going to prevent people from not just choosing the destruction part of Ashes instead of the creating
The corruption system is the primary tool to deter griefing
!wiki corruption
Corruption in Ashes of Creation refers to:
Player corruption gained through the PvP flagging system.
The negative aspect of The Essence, spread by The Ancients during the Apocalypse (Lore). Corrupted areas/zones that evolve with node progression. Corruption tarnishes the characterโs spiritual essence. Their ability to utilize the Verraโs magic fo...
How can i get to play the upcoming testing ?
By purchasing the Adventurer Pack on the AoC Store
You'll have to buy into it on the AoC Store page. Currently its $500 base if you have not purchased any previous packs
if i buy a recent 500$ pack can i change it for one of the previous one?
You cannot
thanks
If you mean for the last months cosmetics, that would be a no ๐ฆ
๐ฆ
Alpha 1 will be on sale until 30 June, so you can wait until 8 June for the new cosmetic pack
I have a question, is it open world pvp or toggle on and off pvp
You do have to toggle to attack players though, but you can always be attacked.
So its gonna be like bdo solo players dont stand a chance
Well it's supposed to be a group focused MMO
Being killed without flagging gives the person who kills you negative effects though
They become weaker, and can lose gear on death. If they kill enough players, they won't even be able to walk into a city without being attacked by the guards
Ahhh ok. Well what if ur a solo player. Is this game even worth getting?
Not 100% sure how it will play out as a solo player - but they are building this game to heavily focus around social interactions with others. There will be a lot of content that won't be solo-able.
If you don't like playing with others, it's a tough sell. If you just don't know anyone yet, you'll meet people in game and will most definitely find a group
I dont mind playing with ppl i just know ppl who play solo
And plus i lm always a tank or healer lol
Are all classes available in tge alpha or no idea? Thinking about buying to pkay the 1 week alpha since im off work cuz of surgery
No
Mage, Cleric, and Tank are guaranteed for that week. Ranger and Fighter are coming during A1, but we don't know when. Rogue, Bard, and Summoner come in A2
If you want to never interact with other people at anytime in an mmo, Ashes isnโt for you. You can go solo guild-less. BUT Youโll need to interact with many people daily though and actively work with them to do things, youโll need a friends list.
Gotcha
@near stump will there be anything to do ingame content wise or no idea
For the week
Yes there will be lots
!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, Mage and Tank archetypes first then Fighter and Ranger. The Bard, Rogue, and Summoner archetypes will follow later in development. Secondary archet...
"9 node locations"
"Over 200 quests"
"approx 10% of artisan system"
"castle sieges and casltes"
"Guilds"
These are the highlights of the "content"
@unreal sail
Approximately 49 unique gear sets.[8]
Approximately 6 or 7 dungeons with one almost raid-level difficulty.[31]
Two world bosses requiring party-sized groups.[31]
One true 40 person raid boss.[31]
That as well
When will the nda get lifted?
May 14 for 1 week ; June 1 for 1 month
So ppl can stream it?
yup
only on those dates
if theres spot test outside of those dates they are most likely nda
so be carefull with that
@near stump will there pvp in alpha or no
Yes
yes there will be. there even will be some testing for sieges
Dumb question, but if you bought into Founder's Pack, where do you find information on how you get to play A1?

The Founders pack didn't include A1 access
Ah yes, Founder only included A2 and the Betas. You can upgrade to Braver of Worlds for Alpha 1
Sorry, the pack I bought specifically says A1, so its not Founders Pack
Full disclosure, I got a little drunk last night and just sent it on the Adventure Pre-Order Package.
Thanks for the link though, I'll follow that.
So just follow the steps from ModBot above ๐
In the January Q&A Jeff mentioned how guilds might be able to select a โraceโ. Can anyone elaborate on that topic?
1:15:46 is when the question is brought up about Changing your race.
The info provided in those streams is all we know for the most part. Asking someone else to elaborate is just asking for their opinion on how they interpret it.
After listening to it myself, the info they gave wasn't much. They'll likely clarify more when the systems become more developed in game.
Community reaction to that was largely negative. I doubt it will be a thing. But who knows. No solid info yet.
Do Alpha-1 Players get anything exclusive for playing in Alpha-1?
One message removed from a suspended account.
outside of the package you purchased, not that we are aware of
Adventurer forum title ig
There is always a possibility to be rewarded for testing
Alpha 0 testers received a little trinket for their freehold and Apoc testers were rewarded by being able to use the cosmetics they unlocked there in the MMORPG
Anyone knows if the Boundless Basin freehold is already available in the upcoming alpha? I would love to see it ingame first before I spend money on it ๐
Dude pvping with unbalanced unpolished classes xD that will be so funny

thanks
You might have to relog here too though
Oh wait I have A1 role just not adventurer
Yes, try relogging ๐
didnt do anything
did you log out ?
yeah then back in
๐ฎ it worked now. had to log back in and refresh the page 2 times lol
but still not on discord
might need to unlink and relink your discord for it to show up
Thanks that worked
Is there a way to secure guild names or just character names if you pre purchased Alpha?
Or is there somewhere I can check to see what guild names have been taken?
Braver of Worlds +bove packs from Kickstarter had guild name reservations
*+above
Guild name reservation was included in the Braver of Worlds pack (and above)
You will be able to reserve your character name if your pack includes it. You cannot do it right now however.
Thank you Birdie and @crystal beacon appreciate the quick replies!
You're welcome!
NDA covers all testing outside the week of 14th and month of June
i figured as much
Is there a place where I can check previous packs that were already rotated out each month?
Curious what I missed :sweat_smile:
fast and easy gallery that gets updated each month
OK rip, I missed a lot of cool stuff.
Thanks for the images tho, exactly what I wanted :D
Concerning February 2018... Does this mean I'm going to see some people riding around on stuffed teddy bears in game 
the concept is that its supposed to be an enchanted children's toy. Which could realistically exist in a high fantasy world like Verra
Haha okay I guess that makes sense
I have a question for Toast (Or someone familiar with the forums). How do you center a video in a forum post. I can get everything centered but the video.
have you tried [center][/center]?
are cleric and bards healers?
yes, clerics are main healers, bards are "off" healers
oh bet
hello i have asked a similar question before but will i be able to buy into alpha 1 with the next months cosmetics (just wanna make sure i understood correctly)
Yes
The Alpha 1 pack will be on the stores until June 30th, the cosmetics swap over on June 9th
So you could buy A1 with next months cosmetics if you wait until June 9th
if I upgrade to alpha 1 will I lose my previous cosmetics?
You keep the old cosmetics and don't get the new cosmetics from the slots that you already had (So if you had a Wayfarer pack and upgraded to A1 you'd get all the new cosmetics except this months accessory which you would keep from your old pack)
I have the voyager pack from october 2020
so the embered kit and like the fire fox mount
If you have the regular Voyager pack then you'll get the Costume, Ship/Caravan skin, and Freehold skin from the Alpha 1 pack
gotcha
You'll keep your Accessory, Pet, and Mount skin from the pack you bought
that's great ^^
I upgraded to Adventurer pack with A1 access but i didn't earn the badge on forum yet. what should i do?

Do we have a lifespan set for the Dunir?
Or just the Dunzenkell because I assume it would be the same
How will the content creator selection work? Like will it just be rng of the applications? And is there gonna be a limit to how many will be accepted?
summoners with the cleric augment, is supposely also gonna be able to do some " off healing ".
Applicants for the CC program are judged based on the quality and nature of their content. We haven't been told about any kind of limit on how many official CCs there will be.
Ty for the answer just wanted to make sure because i dont really like this months aestethic and i wont be able to buy into A1 untill after the 25th of may anyways so might aswell see what the next months pack look like
I need help, I cant change the password of my account. Appears an error
please submit a support ticket for it
Is there any info on the recommended or minimum system specifications required to play this game? Or what specs the devs are aiming for on release?
!wiki system requirements
Ashes of Creation alpha testing minimum system specification.
Operating System: Windows 10 64-Bit
Processor: Intel Core i3-2125 3.3GHz / AMD Phenom II X4 3.3GHz

Storage: 35 GB of available space
Sound Card: Di...
done ๐
thanks!
Those specs are for alpha, not release. They will 100% change before release
Does anybody know how long it approximately take to get a reply from the content creator program? They only state:
"Please note that due to high interest, processing applications may take some time."
But how long is 'some time' ๐
Is it a week, a month..? Just wondering if you even have the chance to still get access to alpha-1 as a creator or if it's mainly meant for future stuff
Some = timeinterests+(processingapplications)
As they just changed how they handle it and reopened sign up into it. I recon they will have been buried onder a wave of applications so it will probably take a bit to go through them all. No real timetable available at the time as I said they just changed the process.
!wiki pc specs
...Ashes of Creation alpha testing minimum system specification. Operating System: Windows 10 64-Bit Processor: Intel Core i3-2125 3.3GHz / AMD Phenom II...
...available in the chat window. Ashes of Creation will be released on the Windows PC platform. Console support may be added at a later point. Native Linux support...
those are the specs for a1 testing (item 1)
Is it correct that if I buy the Alpha One Pack right now that I will be able to participate in the non NDA testing in 4 days?
Also ... I stumbled across this video issuing a fair point regarding rescheduling -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQDDFCwNlKA
Now: Obviously I am not rly too worried about it, but i kinda wanna know how things are going atm considering that i am about to spend a substantial amount of money for a game I won't be able to play with friends for the foreseeable future.
Are there any official backups for buyers of the alpha? What happens if the project fails, is there any way of getting back my money?
yes if you buy the A1 pack you cam start testing as soon as the A1 tests begin
this might even be earlier than 4 days if there are spot tests
but it is guaranteed to be the case in 4 days?
How does name reservation works if you reserve a package?
Name reservations were rewards for backing at the Pioneer level and higher and are currently available through the Voyager plus pre-order pack and Adventurer pre-order pack.
Accounts will have name reservation tokens, that entitle its holder to reserve a name on a specific server when the reservation time comes.
there is nothing that is unknown to @ruby swift 
what a weird thing to say, honestly. I am about to spend a lot of money and you can not even guarantee something that is said to happen in 4 days, heck the weather forecast is more reliable than that.
Intrepid has repeatedly and often stated. If you have doubts, do not purchase.
if they fail to meet the testing date in 4 days you could ask for a refund as unknown said
alternatively dont purchase until after the tests start
that way if they are delayed you havent spent your $$ up front
Fair enough.
Considering amount of people buying in it would be wise to expect server issues
if you want my opinion as a long time A1 tester for this game, the 14th date is looking fairly solid
but yeah things change, especially this early in development
Now, how long the client stays up once they turn it on is the issue.
yeah, scuffiness is probably the only thing that can be guaranteed ๐
oh, i dont think they are for max settings, since the game resolution can go up over 5K
even my 3090 and 5950X would struggle at such high resolutions with everything maxed
omg, just bought alpha one

Hi, in regards to mounts do we know how big they'll be able to be ? For example, taming and reering something as big WOW's Brutosaur
There are extremely large multi person mounts planned that were a Kickstarter stretch goal achieved. While we have not seen anything beyond early silohuette concepts from 3-4 years back, some are the size of houses.
Multi-passenger group mounts were unlocked during the Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign.[51][52]
These mounts will be elephant sized or larger.[53]
The group mount is gonna be a very difficult mount to achieve, but once achieved it's gonna be very fun and and pivotal in gameplay. So the idea there is to have them grand.[53] โ Steven Sharif
#6 looks sick
Thanks, looking forward to hearing more about animal husbandry
Awesome!
Alright, that sounds like it would work really well for the ones that have MMOโs on there page alrdy
Where can I find media regarding Ashes? Like the logo and art? 
You can find a couple of wallpapers on the website. You can find a few more things on the wiki, like screenshots and videos. For a logo, you might have to contact LieutenantToast or MargaretKrohn though.
just to let you know ur account isnt linked yet
On the application?
on discord. If you linked your account ur discord ur roles should say adventure, member, and alpha 1. It just says member right now
Nothing about @main plaza 's questions were related to them having A1 access already
my bad it was the other guy
@errant kayak meant for him
Yea ik I have The beta not alpha as I wasnโt able to afford the alpha one rn
got it c: tankoo
Will there be special stats for different Races? Like one gives increased Bow dmg or aim or increased melee dmg?
Each race has different base stats.
Races are not gender or class locked.
Some classes may work better with certain races but nothing is enforced. A player's choice of race will influence their racial augments.
You'll have racial augments that are capable of being applied to active skills and those augments are going to be a reflection of the flav...

Hello, I have a question about the ref link, I gave the link to a friend and the 15% is not deducted from the payment. The balancing of the purchase price would be the full price, from when will the 15% be calculated? It's $ 250 on the side, will the 15% be charged in Ember? greetings
It's 15% of the money that your friend pays in (not counting any tax/vat). Your friend won't see this on their side. So say they pay 100$, you get 15$ in Intrepid Bucks (not Embers, the Intrepid bucks are spendable on more stuff like subtime/cash withdrawals after launch). If your friend is paying part of their sub with Intrepid bucks you don't get a portion of that. See https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Referral_program for more details.
I might be able to find something trhough digging the forums, but with the awesome community there is for this game, I figured it would be alright to ask quickly here. ๐
As a EU based player, aiming to purchase and playtest the Alpha 1 Preview and Regular Alpha one, should I simply just buy the pack from the Ashesofcreation website, and be good to go. Or are the extra steps I need to take to aquire and access the game, as a EU based player?
@placid swift yup you would just get from the web store
Does Intrepid have any assets for Content Creators?
CCs will get asset assistance and they will be provided high res images from any updates for their use
@stable plover Thatยดs all what i want ๐ many thanks!
Thank you ๐, I wasnโt sure if that was the most recent or if it had been updated or if there was any better sources
Linked my discord with aoc account and still can't see a1 channels
Send haaalllllppp

Try logging out of discord and logging back in.
Also make sure you connected the right discord account.
Did you log out and log back in? Make sure you see the proper roles via forums too.
Also make sure you hard refresh.
Regarding Content Creator program have they said what platform they will respond to us on? Forums?
I don't think Intrepid have said how they'll respond to the CC apps. (I'm assuming that's the question).
Yep that's what I'm wondering and it does look that way - thanks ๐ ๐
We will reply to you on the contact email connected with your Intrepid account ๐ that's why we ask you to provide your forum profile link!
If you're still having issues with this, please feel free to DM me and I can assist you further!

I'm going to wait until tonight when I'm home on desktop to make sure I didn't mess anything up
If I'm still having the issue tomorrow I will let you know.
(Insert funny office gif here)
Gotcha thanks - Very eager to hear back ^
damnit gifs aint workin lol

Are there any plans or concepts for allowing customization of ability colors/appearances? For example, if I wanted to make a pure fire mage could I make all of my abilities look fiery?
Ashes of Creation hosts a wide array of progression paths that offer augments to a character's primary skills.
The progression system for augments is very similar to the class progression system.
The Kickstarter backers got a VFX pack that will let them change the appearance of some of their abilities, but we haven't heard of anything like that for regular people yet
What is the live version cosmetics release plan? new cosmetics after each maintenance? 1 out of 2 maintenance? one time a month? at new content release?
when do we get to reserve names?
when do you think that we will get beta 1
We haven't been given a timeline for anything after Alpha 1 yet.
!wiki name reservation
Name reservations were rewards for backing at the Pioneer level and higher and are currently available through the Voyager plus pre-order pack and Adventurer pre-order pack.
Accounts will have name reservation tokens, that entitle its holder to reserve a name on a specific server when the reservation time comes.
Short answer, we don't know yet
I think we will hear more of a timeline after this alpha 1 test and seeing how the servers stand and core systems
We don't know what Intrepid will do for cosmetics upon release yet. It could look very similar to what we have now, or vastly different

We've run into a problem and are unable to handle this request right now.

can embers be used to buy monthly subscription?
No, Embers are only to make in game cosmetic store purchases (not purchases from website/preorder packs)
Are you able to log into your ashes account normally?

@rancid smelt might seem like a basic question but have you registered your account to the forums yet? (Not everyone thinks of the basics after all)
yeah that's where its getting stuck i think
it asks me if i want to use my ashes account to log in to the forums then when i click "yes" it gives the error
If you have the alpha one pack -- where do we access the launcher download?
If you have linked your accounts and can see the available channels, the process is pinned there.

Thanks, early for me, knew I had that command wrong.
Would we be hearing back in regards to the Content Creator program before the May 14th alpha 1?
If i bought the new 500$ pack, would i have access to the NDA alpha of this month?
Yes
yes
news looking spicey
NDA
Nda
oh NDA
Still NDA
thought it was of
Less not go
So people who bought the Alpha-1 pack the last days, will they still be able to play at May 14th (with NDA) or only from July 9?
welp was looking forward to seeing content this weekend
How is the combat system going? Anything final about it or is it still in heavy development?
ahh i c they made it a 2 month NDA instead
Yes they can play in any upcoming test, NDA or not
with a 1 week no NDA
Heavy development
They're currently about to go through combat revamps
yup
!a1faq @crystal beacon we updated the FAQ at the bottom of this article to clarify what testing the Adventurer Pack would have access to!

yes

Hi I'm having issues logging into the ashes of creation website. I've reset my password multiple times and have access to both my email, username and previous passwords but no matter what, when trying to login I get the following message 'Invalid input parameters'
You'll need to fill out a support ticket
Modbot, plz T_T
To clarify, are you trying to log in with your username, or your email address?
Hey toast, I've just now noticed that I have been using my email instead of username. Very silly of me as I'm using NordPass to auto fill and it appears to have saved only my email and not username for the auto fill
I'm actually having difficulty finding where I connect my discord to my forums account. Is there a good link to that?
Will the A1 packs remain on the storefront until July in order to facilitate additional testers being able to access the test environment?

Correct, the banner at the top says "for all Alpha One testers and Official Content Creators", which would include you! We also updated the FAQ link I just shared above your comment with that info ๐
You the real MVP
Heard and read. Thanks!
So if I get the Alpha 1 now can I start playing or do I have to wait till the 14th?
14th
Will I be able to play after August 13th?
People with A1 access can play when the servers are up (which is not always) but there is a known session from the 14-16
So basically its pulling it up to see if the servers are down or up?
In test sessions that happen after then, we currently only have dates out to August 13th
People with access to the NDA info know if the servers are down or up without doing that.
So alpha 1 servers are only open when they want to test something?
Another delay?? Are you joking me?
Yes, they're joking you in particular
Very serious, much delay https://ashesofcreation.com/news/2021-05-10-alpha-one-schedule-update
I mean I much rather them have a delay then it be like Classic where you spend an hour or more waiting to get in due to server crash due to massive influx of players.
much delay indeed, this is getting old
I mean, they literally had people begging to get in to Alpha 1 to get in to it. So their numbers they planned on went up.
They want to make sure the servers handle it so the May 14th is still going. Its not a delay, the only thing that got delayed is the no NDA.
obbviously that cant be the reason for the delay?
@stable plover any info if CCs will get access on the 14th still?
Imagine you got 500 people playing, then 1500 people ask to join. Its a big jump.
Let's keep this channel for questions folks, and bring discussion on further down 
Testing periods may be delayed or suspended, and do not represent the final game. Do not purchase Alpha One access if you are looking to play a finished game - testing will require your feedback and patience
That one is a question for Intrepid
Is there a place to read up the NDA in detail?
Toast? ๐
sure its been asked a million times. but when we buy the alpha, how do we access it etc? if someone could direct me to a channel or something that explains it that would be awesome
Not sure if anyone has responded to you on this yet but Iโm watching a Twitch streamer named Paradox gaming network and he answered a question on this and said it might be in 2022
What is CC?
Content Creator
They already stated that the alpha 1 server has a cap of 1500 people. Doesnt matter if there is 10.000 or 50.000, its just a matter of more servers

This is a guess from someone who doesn't work for Intrepid Studios. I have my own guesses and hopes as does everyone else, but this is not official so please keep that in mind. Thank you though!
The new image we shared showed that the upcoming tests will all be available for all Alpha One testers and Content Creators ๐ that being said, due to the sheer volume of applications it may take a bit for us to process our new CCs!
We haven't given any official dates/timelines beyond the ones related to our Alpha One testing ๐
Hey @plucky pawn ^^
Do you have an estimate for when CC applicants can expect a verdict?
thanks Toast โค๏ธ
what are "em's"
Dang, so the alpha preview is under NDA again? ๐ฆ
As I just noted, due to the sheer volume of applications it may take us a bit to get through them all!
I'm not sure I understand what you're asking? 
Aight ^^
Thanks Toast
on my account it says i have 2750 ems
Hello, i sent a message earlier about not being able to log in to the forums
Embers!
Embers! Those are currency that can be used in the in-game shop, on cosmetic items.
Please feel free to send me a DM with the error message you're receiving, and I'll review when I get a chance!
ah, my pre-order said 25 embers and somehow i have 2750?
I sent you one earlier, just making sure you got it
You received $25 worth of Embers, which shakes out to a bit more than 2500 Embers due to bonuses ๐
Ah okay, I will get to it when I get the chance then! I have many messages to catch up on from over the weekend ๐
ok thank you!
I just bought the alpha 1, now what?

ty
is it possible to get into the alpha one?
If you buy the adventurer upgrade yes.
how much?
$500. If you already have a different pack then you pay the difference.
holy fuck
you can check here and see what the different packages offer. But yeah I don't recommend it just to play the game. You're paying a premium to support the development and be a part of that journey.
do you get free months when the game launches?
yeah you get cosmetics, in game cosmetic currency, game time. Tons of stuff
All of the packs currently available in our shop provide some amount of subscription time, yes - it's spelled out under "More Info" on each pack ๐
Are they refunding upgraded packages?
do they ever do sales?
Lol
yes on boxing day ;P
boxing day?
They haven't so far
just kidding no sales bro the price is already a sale ๐
Yes
hmm
So they're not refunding after the delay announcement?
Thanks for the clarification @onyx knoll
For the revised schedule the spot testing from may 14th to july 9 is it the entire time or just a week here and there?
According to the letter: "If you are already a member of the Alpha One testing group, you will still be testing on May 14, but this testing will remain under NDA. Additionally, during the month of June there will be spot/stress testing that you will have an opportunity to participate in."
Spot testing usually implies short periods scattered as needed
that's why i was confused heh, and the people who have alpha 1 packages are they already included or do we need to apply for a testing group and where?
If you have an alpha 1 access then you'll need to link your discord account to your Intrepid forum account, you can do this by following those steps;

ah thank you!
The upcoming NDA alpha which is almost 2 months long... Is there only a wipe at the end? So can you play with the same characters for 2 months, or will there be also wipes in between?
Expect lots of wipes for anything other than the specifically time framed periods of not being wiped during that test.
hello, I'm very new to the alpha one. I have no clue as to what to do now that I'm here. is there something to download or install to prepare for the testing? sry if the answer is obvious ๐
!download
Bob, welcome
hmm
sec
guess it should command something ๐
think that only works in NDA channels
Wrong channel boyos
I'll go check
Head on over to the NDA channels if you have already linked your Discord and the Forums. you can use that command over there
how do we get access to it
did
oh have to link my discord to the forums
ah yes link discord first
yep, you will get instructions in your email.
thnx my dudes
yes it only works in the nda
I bought 500$ but still my profile in forum member and also here. What I have to do ?
tldr in adventurer pack its like paying ahead of time for 11 months of ingame time and a ton of ingame money
thanks
but with the added benefit of early access and free cosmetics
Roles Member, Alpha One, Adventurer
this is what i see
not sure where to link my discord

There was no announced change in the date Adventurer Packs will be sold until, correct? I'd imagine it will change since there will be no non NDA gameplay before June 30th.
No, they are talking about will the sales be extended. Which there is an answer for. But not sure if it is public or not. @plucky pawn Has it been made?
Some people like to see what they're buying
the FAQ at the end of that article has been updated with the date adjustments 
Thank you!
The Adventurer Pre-order Package will be available for purchase from May 5, 2021 at 11:00 a.m. Pacific until August 13, 2021 at 11:00 a.m. Pacific. (Note that the Brine and Bounties cosmetic items within the package will swap over on June 9, 2021 at 11:00 a.m. Pacific to the new cosmetic items.)
If I record stuff from the time period where the game is under NDA but release the content once the NDA is lifted is that okay?$
No
If you end up having a package, make sure to read the TOS and NDA terms carefully so you don't break them.
How long will a 1v1 PvP battle typically take?
42
That is a very open and flexible answer. Since they are not balancing for 1v1 but instead group content. Some classes will always "own" others, and conversely be vulnerable. They want the TTK to be around 30s to 1 min though. And no mezzer meta or stun, backstab, stun, backstab, dead.
That's great! I always like it when it doesn't take 5 seconds to kill/get killed
same
That has been the stated goal. Testing, your mileage may vary.
I know that cosmetic packs will never be repeated, but will there be options later down the road to expand the ones that were released. For example I have the Embers pack from Sept 2020, and it does not have a Caravan skin, will I ever be able to have a matching Caravan skin
No, the current testing phase requires the 500$ pack
Oh, i getcha, then yes, you'll need to link your forum account with your discord one first tho

There's been no mentions of things along those line, so maybe eventually in the in-game shop or as in-game achievable, but no guarantees
how do i get alpha one listed in my roles?
By following the steps listed above ๐
๐
Hello, for some reason discord wont even let me write in the general discussion area, I just joined but aye my question too you is, if I buy AoC Friday will that let me have a standing in the alpha testing Friday?
!alpha
If I refund do I get banned or account deleted or any of that? Heard of a lot of companies doing that so I'd like to know.
probably note worthy that i tried 3 times now and the 2 attempts to link my accounts on mobile both failed but as soon as i was at home and on my pc doing the exact same steps the third time it worked no problem whatsoever..... possibly a coincidence, possibly an issue? Either way i'm all set up so crisis averted 
Glad you got it working either way!
If you go through the refund process using our support ticket system, you will just have the corresponding package removed from your account accordingly.
The Purchased Asset has not been consumed or used in any way, manner or form prior to the issuance of any refund. Furthermore, and by no means a limitation of the foregoing, any โEmber Packagesโ purchased as a Purchased Asset may not be refunded or subject to a pro-rated or partial refund if all or any portion of the Ember Package is used prior to the issuance of a refund.
If we buy into the available $125 Alpha One today, do we still get access to the NDA Weekend of testing this weekend?
Yes, once you obtain Alpha-1 access you can learn how to access everything under NDA through the necessary channels.
Just finished all that, looking ship-shape. Thank you!
No problem, any other questions you may have feel free to ask in here or if its private you can DM one of the mods or submit CS tickets ๐
I don't know how many times this question has been asked/answered. But can i buy into the Alpha one? i finally have money on hand, and want nothing more than to support this game! please let me know
Yes. Check out the news-aoc channel.
is there anything specific i have to do after buying the Adventurer package ? or do i just wait for announcement with a aoc alpha download link ?

No date

Community estimate is a couple years still
i wish it won't be long
Yeah same ๐ฆ
damn
haha, watch blizzard move TBC to july now
I apologize if this was already answered, I wonder if I can still get a refund for the Alpha 1 package if, for example, I tried testing it for few hours or minutes but lost interest to do more testing or had technical issue preventing me from testing it further. I did not buy it yet, just want to know how refund policy applies for such case.
not sure, but i bet you can email AoC for support about that
it's best to do it early in testing though.
And I would use the reason "you thought you had time to play but something came up"
Refund policy is 90 days upon purchase
So just make sure you put in your refund before the 90 days are up
Yea I know it's 90 days, I was just wondering if I can still get refund within those 90 days even if I participate in upcoming Alpha 1 spot testing.
Yea, I should probably e-mail them.

i dont know if this apply
to alpha
because you technically used the alpha key
But its better to email them
or dm toast
Yes thats a question better suited for Intrepid
alright some trying to make i can get into the aplha one..... i bought it months ago... same account but wont let get in the forums??
i bought 375
what server regions would be available in the alpha 1 testing phase? Just major regions like EU/NA?
ah, nevermind. Just found the answer.
375 one is not alpha 1
Alpha costs 500 total
You can upgrade to get alpha 1
Make sure you read the more info on the packages to see what they contain
do we know if classes will be race locked? (for example "renkai's cant be rogues etc.) ?
no
no we dont know?
no they arent race locked
oh lol, thank you โค๏ธ
@dark jungle need anyone else to help with the wiki? I have tons of free time lol
I bought Adventurer pack. How do I sign up for the alpha one? Iโve been reading fir about an hour canโt figure it out lol

Dope thank you kind sir!
Can I apply for a job wink wink nudge nudge
Okie dokie
Well I dont have experience in unreal so as much as I want to work there I donโt have the qualifications
There are other non-developer positions as well. You might have the skills in those positions.
Fair
I got a notice to play on May 14th thru May 21st which I did RSVP saying I would like to play in that test group. It looks like these dates have been changed as of today. How can I tell if I am still in the group to be able to test starting May 14th thru May 16th? Also, I have seen no email information on how to actually download the game to be able to test. Was this going to be in an email or is there a link or am I just missing something?
Awesome. Any help is greatly appreciated. Drop on by to the wiki discord. There's a bunch of info over there 
I'm gonna answer this somewhere else.
I already linked my discord and intrepid accounts from the BOT explained above, but im still confused how to download/access alpha one once may 14th happens. Do i need to download it? if so where?
Gonna answer that somewhere else too
probably best to ask in the NDA channels, since alpha 1 is still under nda
How long does it take to get accepted or denied to the content creator program? I applied a few days ago and havenโt gotten an email back yet.
They just opened the program a few days ago so everyone will be applying now. It will take a bit of time to get through them all. You'll receive an email when they make a decision though!
I don't know, I don't think anyone has been accepted yet, you'll receive an email either accepting/rejecting the application so you'll get notified either way.
Thanks! ๐
I just watched MK on her stream. They received, as you would expect, a huge amount of applications for the CC program. It will take some time before they sort through them all, but they plan to let people know either way if they are accepted or not, and if they are not accepted, advice how to do better.
Thanks for the replies! ๐
Hello, I got the Adventure pack yesterday so I can be in the Alpha coming up but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do now. Will be getting an email in a few days?

Perfect, Thank you
Thanks! Just joined :)
why does email say 14-16 may?
Any hypothetical testing dates prior to july 9th are under nda
So should probably not be talked about
Would it be possible to get the refund after participating in the test of May 14th?
Anyone know how long the adventurer package will last for in the store
when are they droping keys for the test? i upgraded to the alpha 1 key havent received anything
I don't have a solid answer for that but would likely say no. I'll double check for you though
You don't get a key, a1 access is tied to your account
I would also say no, because in the updated 90 days refund terms they say:
"The Purchased Asset has not been consumed or used in any way, manner or form prior to the issuance of any refund."
So if you would test the game on May 14th, you would've used the product in any way...
@forest pike Please refer to the following article https://ashesofcreation.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360018517854-What-is-the-refund-policy-
Hey! just wondering, at what point of the testing will artisan skills be testable? and will they be testing them seperately? like having gatherables first, then procsseing followed by crafting?
Also, will there be PvE sieges? for starters there will be corrupted antients that orcupy the castles at the start of the server which essentially will be raids. But will they ever come back to try and reclaim them?
Also, could be cool with events that some void stuff spawns and take over an area and start to develop their own nodes and eventually have an npc city that just want to conquor everything from the players.
Hello guys, know when open game?
@coarse iron Mate its a good 3-4 years before full release we are still A1.
oh ok ty i w8 then heeh
By all means mate But don't join the train to late ๐
I have bought the Alpha 1 access, how will I have access to it Friday?
First step is to get your Intrepid account linked w/ the Discord so you can get access to the NDA channels. As for the actual download it should be emailed to you when the time comes
How do I link them?

I wouldn't count on it as one of the terms of getting a refund is to have not used the product
@cyan compass I got an email that Margaret sent and I did it through that. Basically click on the link. Log into your Intrepid acc and hit the button link with discord account. The authorize and your good!
