https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Arenas @shy chasm

3 man 5 man and possibly 20man is mentioned too here

[shy chasm]

Ah 5 man and possibly 20 man, that might be what I'm curious about then

yeah, one of the things I always enjoy doing is farming some resource while just waiting on my pvp queues in other mmos, I'm mostly wondering about instant gratification queued pvp rather than the multi-day wait for pre-registration haha

[graceful nimbus]

just farm some players open world instead of resources

[shy chasm]

I fully plan to, though it might end up leaving me the bounty hunter's farmee rather than the farmer

[tawdry bloom]

this says this everytime i log in?

anyone know why

i cant download anything

[craggy shoal]

I just want to know about the games fishing systems

[fallow veldt]

how to get hacked 101

[opal breach]

that's tease

[tawdry bloom]

okay

mb

[fallow veldt]

shows his username and the length of his password (which wasnt long at all)
rip account of anyone takes the time to crack it

[fast stirrup]

Is it just me or does it take a long time to download AoC? I have been trying to download since Sunday and still have no luck. Am I not doing something right?

thanks

[summer cosmos]

what time does the alpha go live this weekend?

[sage pendant]

Hey guys, i bought some preorder packs (long ago), and i can see them in my inventory, and i know for a fact that at least one of them came with some alpha or beta keys. However i cant see any alpha or beta keys in inventory. I checked everywhere on website etc but i cant find a way to check what i actually have access to or how to activate it. Can you please help me figure this out?

For example, one of things in my inventory is "Intrepid pre-order pack", which im 99% sure came with some keys (either alpha or beta, or both).

But i cant open it or check it in any way

Every item in my inventory is just "name / tracking number / date added"

I bought it in 2019, so i dont know. It doesnt let you see details of your purchase

hang on lemme see if i can find original email maybe

[plucky pawn]

you can also view Order History as well

if you had the Intrepid Pre-Order Pack, you should also see the Inventory items for testing accordingly

[sage pendant]

I bought $500 pack in 2018

[plucky pawn]

if you don't, please reach out to our support team so they can assist you further!

[stable plover]

"Intrepid pre-order pack" is an A1 pack but was sold from 2017-2018

[plucky pawn]

either way, you should be able to follow these steps in the meantime to see test information 😄

[sage pendant]

My forum role just lists "member"

Yeah i tried that Lieutenant

My role just lists "member"

[plucky pawn]

what happens if you log out and back in again?

[sage pendant]

I was logged out

i logged in first time in years

well maybe not years

but like at least 6+ months

[plucky pawn]

okay, perhaps there might be something missing on your account, so next step would definitely be contacting support at the link above!

[sage pendant]

Allright. How long is the response tiume? I dont want to miss this weekend's event

[plucky pawn]

it can depend based on queue length, but right now our team knows folks are working to get in for testing so they're doing their best to expedite those tickets 😄

[sage pendant]

Allright thanks. I just submitted a ticket. However when i tried to login on the support website (after submitting ticket) it tells me "Invalid authenticity token"?

i received confirmation in email that my ticket went through, but i guess i submitted it as a guest - because your support.ashesofcreation.com website doesnt let me login. I can however login fine to forums & main website

it asks for email though

uh, no

Oh

Okay

The website's design kinda implies you need to login, like you do on forum/main website

Ah well

I submitted my ticket so lets wait and see what happens

thanks

[worn wagon]

You can login, but it's a different account than your normal IS account iirc. Try resetting your password or create a new account on the support website.

[mighty stratus]

Possible I'm patching incorrectly? sitting at 26% after 45 min

[crystal beacon]

Hi, will there be a stream from the dev team on july 9th ?

[plucky pawn]

you are prompted for this either way, the login for agents is noted as "i am an agent" at the bottom 😉

[fair minnow]

Hi I'm sorry if this has been asked before but I've heard that this Saturday the 14th the game is coming out, but looking at the roadmap this appears to just be another phase of alpha testing? Will this phase be open to general audiences or only those who preordered at the highest tier? Are there key giveaways or somewhere I should monitor for a chance to play on Saturday?

[plucky pawn]

you don't need to log into the support site in order to submit a ticket, you can submit it as a guest. and yes, for the time being it is a different/separate account than your main Intrepid account

[plucky pawn]

we haven't announced any upcoming streams at this time!

[plucky pawn]

this Saturday is the 10th, and it's part of our Alpha One Preview weekend! it's open to anyone who had the Alpha One perk included in their pre-order pack or Kickstarter/summer pack. there are no key giveaways running at this time!

[fair minnow]

You're right I can't do dates lol thanks for the information

[simple pecan]

Anybody else find that General Discussion vanishes sometimes?

[plucky pawn]

you've collapsed the section, open it out!

the little carat at the top shows me it's closed and not expanded

which means it will hide any channels without new messages

[simple pecan]

Oof. How did I miss that. Thank you, Toast! How on Earth are you so omnipresent anyway?

[plucky pawn]

I collapse all my sections so I only see the latest messages 😉

[rugged knoll]

is the items in the shop unique items being created monthly with no future ways to obtain?

or are they already created and being offered for sale

thats alot of work for something never coming back right?

[dark jungle]

they are using the models to populate in-game NPCs

[rugged knoll]

gotcha, thanks peeps

[primal cloud]

Prolly a dumb question, I have all the alpha/beta keys, when does Alpha 1 start?

[plucky pawn]

you can participate in ongoing testing as well 😄 just follow the steps below

[primal cloud]

Legend, thank you @plucky pawn

[opal breach]

how do Referrals work

[signal inlet]

If someone makes an account with your code you get 15% of what ever they spend

[opal breach]

how do use intrepid bucks work

[signal inlet]

You can either use them to buy Embers or game time or cash it out

[sacred axle]

Hi, do we have any indicator what so ever that we'll get content creator access before A1 this/next week? I'm going to play whether I have to pay or not but I'd at least try to save the extra $250 XD

[sacred axle]

Ah I didn't realize it was completely on hold I thought they just needed extra help. Got it thanks. 💸 💸

[shrewd goblet]

Do archwizards and/or battle mages have the ability to fly or float briefly?

[brisk cape]

not at the moment. Currently in the alpha there are only 3 classes. Mage Tank and Cleric. Right now i haven’t seen any levitate ability

[shrewd goblet]

Thankyou for your response

[crystal beacon]

july 9 right alpha

[spiral imp]

The big question is what time on the 9th and 14th will we be able to start?

[upper tulip]

^

[deep pawn]

They will let us know

Nothing is set yet

[cloud creek]

are there gonna be others ways to enter the alpha than paying or being a creator? like an raffle or a contest?

[full badger]

Intrepid sometimes do giveaways for keys, but only on very special occasions, such as the Gourd competition last October. There are no plans for any kind of giveaways right now

[white sundial]

Ever since it was mentioned that mounts will be seperate from the player model and you'll be able to have it out or following around you, I can't stop thinking about this one question: Will we be able to talk to and interact with certain NPCs on horseback?
I remember having this Skyrim mod that allowed you to do that and it added so much immersion for me.
Slowly trotting up to an NPC and having them look up at a knight on his steed is just so cool to me.

[spiral pine]

While you can its a tad buggy in the alpha

[rotund edge]

Will I be able to smack a dragon cosmetic on any gliding mount, or is cosmetic skins limited to the "species" that you have unlocked?

[grim breach]

It's the latter.

[grim breach]

However, there are some Tier 3 (flying) mount skins that can be applied to Tier 2 mounts of the same type as well. They won't fly, only glide. They also will be much, much smaller than the Tier 3 version of the mount.

[rotund edge]

Don't mean to be rude, but do you have a source on it so I can do some reading too?

[tepid crest]

Hey guys! Does anyone know how exactly the archetype/class system gonna work? I know that it’s going to be 8 types, and you will choose a main one and a secondary one so there will be 64 different “classes” but how are they gonna divide the abilities? If I choose a tank and mage, will I get both abilites of the archetype? Is there any source I can read about, or is that an unrevealed thing yet?

[grim breach]

Oh, no. Don't worry. Your skepticism is justified. I've gotten a bit lazy to include the source these days.

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Cosmetics#Mount_skins

[rotund edge]

Cheers mate!

That does restore some hope for me, that we can differentiate between Tier 2 and Tier 3

[fallow veldt]

i looked through it, and it only seems to talk about certain mount skins being applicable to certain tiers of mounts. it doesnt talk about race at all.

i could still apply my sick dragon skin to a griffon mount as long as the tier is right

which

well

sucks

[rotund edge]

Yeah, basically removes every bit of visual progression

[fallow veldt]

yeah

[rotund edge]

They could have made it so you needed to unlock a dragon, then you could slap a dragon skin on

[fallow veldt]

rip visual progression with all these cosmetics

[rotund edge]

Indeed. Still hoping that they have a change of heart with the mounts, because that is bollocks.

[fallow veldt]

pretty sure the community voted for cosmetics being a thing too..

fucking awful

[tranquil willow]

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Classes < this is a good page that explain how it will work.
Basically, you choose your archetype at the character creation and stick with it throughout. When you choose your secondary (I think it was level 25) you get to apply augments of that archetype to your own (not new abilities), so you change the ones you already get as whatever your primary archetype is

[severe lily]

just hope they make lots of good skins for things in game and not in the store

if there is a balance in the fashion i dont mind that mutch.

[fallow veldt]

well with these insane monthly packages, that thousands of people have bought

you can expect people to be running around with all kinds of crazy outfits from day 1

[severe lily]

haha yea

[fallow veldt]

sad

[severe lily]

hope you have to get to a high level to put them on

like

level one death knight?

lol

[tepid crest]

@tranquil willow thank you very much! Helps alot!

[tranquil willow]

You can put on cosmetics from level 1

[severe lily]

just that some skins are so godly

gonna bug me x)

[fallow veldt]

maybe theyll have an option to disable cosmetics being shown on your screen? i would really like that

[severe lily]

that would ruin the point of them tho

[fallow veldt]

well no

[severe lily]

dont think so really

[fallow veldt]

its optional

most people would still have it on

just for the people who dont like it

[severe lily]

well thing is

somone gets the fashion to flaunt the bling

[fallow veldt]

well too bad lmao

[severe lily]

to remove them from showing would be a kick to the balls

[tranquil willow]

they said there won't be

[severe lily]

any word on the potion launchers ?

[grim breach]

The latest word is that it might not make it into the game. Except for usage on ships instead of cannons. (?)

[severe lily]

aiit

thank you

was wondering about the ships as well

[grim breach]

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Potion_launchers

[surreal merlin]

I know this is one of the Most asked questions but: at the state right now. When do you think is the release? Can it be next year?

[tight socket]

couple years at least. it wont be released next year

[nimble grove]

How many archetypes are they planning to have at release?

[grim breach]

We're barely going into Alpha 1 this Friday for NDA to finally drop.

[fluid needle]

8

tank, fighter, cleric, mage, summoner, bard, ranger, rogue

[worldly rain]

!alpha1

[fluid needle]

technically it's a 'preview' for alpha 1

[nimble grove]

How many races?

[fluid needle]

i personally am very hopeful for an early 2023 release

5 total, each with 2 subraces

[worldly rain]

Hey guys, I just got the Alpha 1, what do I need to do next?

[fluid needle]

humans, dwarves, elves, orcs, tulnar

!a1

[nimble grove]

Now the most important question ever.....

[grim breach]

!a1info

Boob slider?

[worldly rain]

haha thank you so much

[grim breach]

Yes

[fluid needle]

let's just say they want a detailed and... inclusive customiser 😉

we need dong size sliders. muh immuhsion.

[nimble grove]

As god intended it

[grim breach]

They want character customisation to be very... Customisable? Dunno the word.

[opal breach]

when does final A1 end

[wicked forge]

Hey guys, is A1 gona start tomorrow?

[grim breach]

No one knows.

[grim breach]

Friday. From the looks of it, there will be no delays.

They have made announcements on their social media accounts as well.

Steven will also be making an appearance in AllCraft tomorrow, so they're going full force on it.

[wicked forge]

allcraft?

[grim breach]

Unless the plan is to announce the delay during AllCraft...

[nimble grove]

Damn asmon gonna have fun chatting with him

[grim breach]

https://twitter.com/AllcraftShow

[wicked forge]

oh thats prob today eh

cant wait tbh, really looking forward to try the game

[spiral pine]

A1 is not an open alpha

[grim breach]

If you already have A1 access, you can join in the test. Testing have been happening for the last few months already.

[wicked forge]

really? where to i access that?

[upper sierra]

Hey all, I see that you guys plan to support OCE. Will OCE servers be live during the next testing sets?

[grim breach]

You need to buy the $500 package from the shop.

[wicked forge]

I have that tbh, got that like last yr

I just dont see where I can find t he instructions on how to access testing

[grim breach]

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Alpha-1#Alpha-1_servers

No plans for OCE in Alpha 1 yet.

[upper sierra]

Alright, thank you for the reply. :)

[grim breach]

Do you see Alpha 1 in your Inventory? If not, you did not buy the $500 package. There were no packs that include Alpha 1 from August 2018 to April 2021.

If you bought a preorder pack, it should be either Intrepid Pack or Adventurer Pack. Those are the only two preorder packs that have A1 access.

You might also have it if you won an A1 key during their giveaways previously.

[wicked forge]

yep i just went to it, it says "Alpha 1" on my inventory

[spiral pine]

Follow that then

[wicked forge]

ok thnx

[fallow veldt]

the game just now arrived in its first playable alpha test phase

after over 4 years of development

and people expect the game to be out in under 2 years

ok

[fluid needle]

game has been developed as an mmo for only 2 and is ramping up in production speed

[fallow veldt]

for only 2? lol

[fluid needle]

if you dont have a question lets move this to #aoc-discussion

[fallow veldt]

fuck off

[formal atlas]

4-5 years ago they said they are ramping up production to their mmo game to 100 employees

5 years later they are yet to be 100 employees

[deep pawn]

No one thinks there's more to this game than what is currently in alpha 1?

There's plenty more but they need to debug the base first before adding more of the code.

[formal atlas]

Doesnt change the fact that they are not halfway done and Its been 5 years now

[deep pawn]

Don't worry the rest of it should be done in half that... I hope

[slim kettle]

ESO took seven years

[plucky saddle]

They arent even halfway done?

How can they not be halfway done when they initially had the release planned for 2019 (according to google)

[slim kettle]

ESO wasnt made by a small indie company

[spiral pine]

The dude is dead set hes right

There is no reason to talk to him

[sage pendant]

Quick question - ive seen conflicting info in different posts. This weekend's preview alpha, is there or is there not nda? Are we allowed to, say, stream it? talk about it?

I've seen posts say both that there's no nda and that there's verbal nda

[fluid needle]

steven (ceo and creative director) was less experienced with development times and thought 2019 would be a realistic release date. evidently it wasn't

[rotund edge]

Verbal NDA is removed, we are allowed to talk about anything

visual NDA is lifted on July9th

9th**

[fluid needle]

july 9th*

[sage pendant]

Ok so when streamers are going to be playing it, that means they just got specific permission to do so. General public cant stream only talk about. Correct?

Yeah see

now you're confusing me again

First you say verbal nda

then image says no nda

[rotund edge]

It is not removed retroactively, as far as I know, so you may not show old content from before the NDA was dropped

[fluid needle]

anyone can stream on july 9th bar any delays

[rotund edge]

brainfart

[sage pendant]

Ok. So no NDA on weekend

right?

[fluid needle]

yes

[sage pendant]

Thanks!

[fallow veldt]

correct

oh

didnt see you already got an answer

oops

[sage pendant]

Can i use same launcher for spot-alpha testing and weekend testing? (obviously updating it when needed - i mean, do i need separate installs for it or something?)

Also, for someone who hasnt participated in spot testing previously - are there any significant differences between current alpha spot-testing and preview weekend? In terms of contents/systems/etc. I.e. stuff that is available currently but wont be available in preview etc

And one more - is there any way to set resoltution above 1080p? Its rather blurry on my large monitor

[spiral pine]

Ask in the NDA channel

[rotund edge]

We don't know for sure, but it is very likely it is the same launcher and that nothing have changed.

I doubt there will be any significant changes

[sage pendant]

Oh yeah im not in NDA channel. My bad, i thought i was

[rotund edge]

current build just had a lot of changes, so I don't think there will come a bunch more

[rotund edge]

doesn

't matter, verbal NDA is lifted

[sage pendant]

Cool cool. Any suggestions about resolution? Is 1080p the hard cap atm?

i know alpha and all that, just wondering

[rotund edge]

Yeah you can play with higher resolution and I would personally recommed it

[spiral pine]

We are always reffered to the NDA channel when talking about that stuff though

[sage pendant]

I dont have any options above 1080p though

[rotund edge]

two seconds

[sage pendant]

I think i fixed it

[rotund edge]

I am currently running in 4k, you should be able to

[sage pendant]

Seems like it really doesnt like me having CINTIQ connected

which is a drawing tablet

when i disconnected it, 4k showed up in settings

Whats the bug report channel?

[spiral pine]

You do it ingame

[sage pendant]

no discord?

[spiral pine]

Not anymore

[sage pendant]

So how would you report "my game doesnt start" bug? :p

[rotund edge]

That is in Discord

[spiral pine]

Forums i guess

[sage pendant]

Ah well

cheers for your help

[spiral pine]

Dunno the link for nda forums though

[sage pendant]

Are classes set? Meaning once you start as Cleric you are forever cleric right?

[full badger]

Yes @sage pendant

[sage pendant]

cool

[full badger]

Please use the forums for that kind of thing, thanks

[spiral pine]

Also it sounds like It treated the tablet as your main monitor

[sage pendant]

I have tablet set to mirror my main monitor. Which makes no issues for any other games or software

[spiral pine]

Might have to change it for this

[sage pendant]

the only other game that had this issue before was Xcom Chimera Squad, which was why i decided to test if same thing would fix it

Id rather it was fixed ingame, because as i said, other games do not cause this

so yea ill try to reprot it

[spiral pine]

Ye ofcourse

But its not likely it will be fixed so soon

[grim breach]

You can change your secondary archetype but not your primary archetype. In AoC terms, you can change your Class (which only happens once you have your secondary archetype unlocked).

Putting this here for your reference.

[sage pendant]

So as a Tank i can swap between being Argent/Knight/Warden/etc depending on my preference (i.e. do dungeon as Argent, then swap to Paladin for questing, etc), but i can never become, say, a Cultist

correct?

[rotund edge]

Yup, that is the gist of it!

[sage pendant]

Cheers

[full badger]

@sage pendantYes, although it should be noted that there won't be "on-the-fly" switching like you see in WoW or FFXIV. You can switch secondary classes but it will be a lot longer process to do

[sage pendant]

Fair enough, plus its not set in stone etc

but the important part is that its not "permament", thats what i wanted to find out

[royal belfry]

Are there going to be any plans or thoughts in regard to characters being able to moved from one server to another on launch? Or once made, its locked in there and will need to make a fresh one if switching servers?

[fluid needle]

initially you will be locked into your server

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Servers#Server_transfers

[fathom shell]

Is there any i can do to speed up the reinstallation downloads. It takes so long that by time it finishes the servers are locked. I have yet to be able to enjoy testing phase at all.

[spiral pine]

its also up to your cpu and harddrive speed

[fallow veldt]

very fucking unlikely

[spiral pine]

well i guess you dont know how it works

[lean current]

think of decompression

[humble trout]

yeah harddrive speed

im hard capped by my writing speed when downloading any game

dogshit harddrive

[novel bridge]

Is there a specific time that the Alpha One Preview starts tomorrow?

[grim breach]

11:59pm July 9th (joking)

[novel bridge]

[grim breach]

Oh wait this is #questions , I thought I was in #aoc-discussion or #general-discussion. My bad

[novel bridge]

i like the edits 😄

[fallow veldt]

if your internet is faster then your harddrive writing speed then you a) wouldnt be complaining about the download being slow (in his case) or b) your harddrive is fucking broken

so yes, its very fucking unlikely that thats the issue.

[spring dagger]

places to watch ashes tomorrow when the nda is lifted?

[spiral pine]

the usual places that stream/post gameplay

[spring dagger]

also does anyone know the specific time it's lifted and if streamers have access to this version of the alpha

[upper tulip]

Where is the download link for the launcher?

[worn wagon]

no specific time known atm ; everyone will have access to the same version

[spring dagger]

thanks

[worn wagon]

@upper tulip

[upper tulip]

thank you!

[crystal beacon]

Any news as to when dual wield will / might come to the testplay?

.... yes but you still have weapons don't you? You don't fight barehanded do ya?

[worn shale]

it will setill be the same base 3 classes for the pretest weekend?

[lament timber]

I just upgraded to the adventurer pack, can I download the client somewhere? I can't find any info on it

[spiral pine]

follow that

[lament timber]

thanks!

[lavish zealot]

I'm about to upgrade for A1 access, was curious if we knew what time everything started tomorrow? Checked the bot post but don't see anything specifically about times. Thanks!

[worn shale]

Welcome to A1

[lavish zealot]

thats unfortunate, thanks.

[lament timber]

the servers are up right now I believe

[main shadow]

how many people are scheduled for A1 testing?

[spiral pine]

one server is up

[lavish zealot]

So if I bought A1 I could theoretically get in right now, but I cant show anything because of NDA (of course)

@lament timber

[lament timber]

well they are coming down in 25 min RIP

[lavish zealot]

oh well, tomorrow maybe. I'm just looking for when they are going live. I got furloughed from my job yesterday and had some serious family stuff come up, just wanna drown out the weekend in a new experience.

[lament timber]

I could see that my man a nice break from reality can be pretty theraputic

[fallow veldt]

the A1 is for testing

you wont get much fun gameplay out of it if thats what youre expecting

[lament timber]

yeah its mainly for helping them find bugs or giving them data to use

[lavish zealot]

I've done tons of Alpha testing over the last decade for games, I am very aware of what I will be diving into.

Happy to help, I do hate the pricetag that comes with it, but I believe in this project.

[fluid needle]

as do i friend, as do i

[crystal beacon]

I believe the price tag includes 11 months free subscription and a lot of embers for cosmetics

[heavy lagoon]

Does anyone know if Intrepid Studios has in-house counsel? Or do they just have a private firm on retainer? I see their job postings, but never see one in any type of legal department.

Ah, damn.

Lucky bastard

I wonder if he/she is only for intellectual property though since that is their important matter

Ah, they're covered then :(

I bet its a sweet gig, though.

[vagrant geode]

so just purchased the 500$ alpha one pack.... how do i install/retrieve my key?

[plucky pawn]

follow the steps above to see all the info you need! no key required, it's automatically on your account 😄

[vagrant geode]

thanks

[worthy hull]

the Braver of Worlds is the A1 starting tomorrow?

[plucky pawn]

Braver of Worlds are also currently able to join us for spot testing, but yes!

[desert ivy]

Braver of Worlds have been testing since December

[wary jolt]

where can i download the game ?

[plucky pawn]

just tagged ya in the right place for more info 😄

At what exact time will the no nda alpha start? Like, at what time of day?

[lavish zealot]

I don't believe we know yet @flat lance

[plucky pawn]

we haven't announced an official time for that quite yet!

[flat lance]

Thank you :D

[flat lance]

but is it not already tomorrow?

[lavish zealot]

hey @plucky pawn, I followed the instructions on the page, but my A1 Role hasn't updated yet, how much time should I give it before I reach out to support?

[plucky pawn]

yep it's tomorrow!

[plucky pawn]

did you log out and back in on the forums, then hit ctrl+F5?

[lavish zealot]

i did not hit ctrl+F5

Yes, I just did that, no update.

[plucky pawn]

which pre-order pack do you have?

[coral eagle]

Anyone able to give me concrete evidence of the restrictions on Multiboxing please. I seen a poll up ages ago I'm not to sure if that was it ,thanks in advance

[lavish zealot]

Adventurer :), Like i said, I just upgraded like 10 minutes ago. I'll give it about 30 minutes before I reach out, was just curious how long it can take.

[flat lance]

Is there a specific place where I can praise the people working on this game?

[plucky pawn]

you can share your love in our discussion channels or on the forums our team appreciates it!

[open sierra]

what happend with cute waves on the beaches i dont see them in latest gameplays ?

[marble escarp]

We get Frognar yet? (The best Tulnar customization options)

[abstract trellis]

is NDA already off ?

[desert ivy]

No

[sleek tiger]

what will the price be for the subscription? Thx in advance for the answer

[abstract trellis]

15$

[spiral pine]

15 dollaroos american

[sleek tiger]

and in €?

[onyx knoll]

there hasn't been any price harmonization yet so we don't know for sure

[abstract trellis]

per month , im sure we gonna get some bundles like buy 9 months get 3 free?!

[onyx knoll]

but if you look at WoW's monthly sub in your country it might give you an idea of what to expect

[sleek tiger]

If its 15€ that a insta buy LOL

thx guys ❤️

[abstract trellis]

its per month not one time buy

[sleek tiger]

yeah I know

[abstract trellis]

cool

[turbid crypt]

if I upgrade to adventurer, do I still have access to alpha one? or is it too late

[onyx knoll]

Yes, alpha 1 access will be available until august 13th

once alpha 1 access is removed, you won't be able to upgrade to the pack at all anymore

[abstract trellis]

but lower packs will have upgrade available into higher ones ?

[plucky pawn]

yes, the only thing that changes on August 13 is the removal of the Adventurer Pack

[sleek tiger]

is there any release date for ashes? like in terms of year

[signal gull]

5 heats

Years*

[heavy lagoon]

If we have access to say Alpha 1, is there also access to Apha 2, Beta 1, and Beta 2? And if so, does that apply across the board? Or is it you just have access for that 1 Alpha or Beta period?

[desert ivy]

If you have access to A1 you have access to all future testing phases

[desert ivy]

No. Most community members speculate 2-3 years but that's pure guess work.

[heavy lagoon]

Does that same principle apply to like, I have A2 access. That includes subsequent access to B1 and B2 as well right? Or is it just for A1 players?

[desert ivy]

Yes, it applies to every pack

If you have A2 you have access to B1 and B2 too.
If you have B1 you have B2 as well

[sleek tiger]

thank you

[heavy lagoon]

Awesome! Thanks man.

[abstract trellis]

are we going to have options to transfer our chars from a server to some other ? even EU - NA ?

[onyx knoll]

not at launch

MAYBE eventually once some server population drop too low they'll offer it to some people with heavy restrictions

[grizzled kelp]

Have the Character name reservations started yet?

[heavy lagoon]

Na, not yet

[crystal beacon]

cat girls?

[onyx knoll]

Not in AoC, no

[unkempt lintel]

Hello, how do i get roles applied to me that reflect my package purchase?

[jagged sable]

thank the gods

[silver beacon]

Possibly with the underground race, I forget their name

[onyx knoll]

Currently the only roles we assign are for alpha 1 packs

[ruby swift]

Tulnar

[silver beacon]

That's the one

Yeah they seem flexible in their customization from what I heard so you could make a catgirl

[unkempt lintel]

@onyx knoll That's why i'm asking, i own the adventurer pack.

[slender venture]

if the underground race is a catgirl race, i will be laughing

[silver beacon]

It's a flexible race

[onyx knoll]

There currently isn't a lot of information on Tulnar, however the way they have been described to us, it doesn't sound like you'll be able to make the classic FFXIV-style catgirl

But we'll have to wait to know for sure until they release more on them

[delicate summit]

Someone knows what time is the alpha tomorrow?

[crystal beacon]

we dont have any channel for portuguese?

[onyx knoll]

There hasn't been an official time given

[silver beacon]

Tulnar are at least partially anthro

[onyx knoll]

Currently the only supported languages are english, french, russian and german

[lofty ore]

Is there any news about the content creator program and who will be selected or is that something they have planned later?

[plucky pawn]

you can also see the latest we've shared on the CC program here: https://forums.ashesofcreation.com/discussion/comment/299596/#Comment_299596

[onyx knoll]

Yes, however the classic "cat-girl" is basically a human with car ears and a tail, and they've described Tulnar more as Worgen or Hrothgar

[wind moon]

so to enter in this alpha one is the $500 pack right? Or I can not enter with that?

[unkempt lintel]

There we go, i did all the steps. Testing for roles now.

[woven vale]

500 for A1

[unkempt lintel]

It worked, thank you very much!

[night fox]

Am I able to download the game now or do I have to wait until the servers are online? I downloaded the launcher but can't download anything.

[lofty ore]

Thank you @plucky pawn

[wind moon]

@woven vale Thanks, and what time does the alpha start?

[woven vale]

Tomorrow for a brief period, than a whole month later'

Gosh darn it I don't know the command

[silver beacon]

Yes but according to the info we have we'll be able to adjust animal traits individually, potentially allowing for something close to a typical catgirl

[plucky pawn]

just tagged you in the right place for an answer 😄

[twilit pumice]

Does anyone know when the official retail version will launch?

[plucky pawn]

we haven't announced a release date at this time!

[woven vale]

Not anytime soon. Expect 2-3 years (community guesstimation).

[onyx knoll]

We'll have to wait and see

[twilit pumice]

yeah i figured. Was just curious

[twilit pumice]

thanks!

[wind moon]

@woven vale Thanks you but I mean, schedule, GMT, PT, etc

[woven vale]

Not announced.

Hey, what time do the server go online tomorrow ?

[hearty socket]

it seems like migration to a new website has screwed up my account. I tried changing my password but no matter what l do it wont update the password on the new website or old website. I was wondering who l could contact for help

[dreamy bone]

I cant find a difitive answer If this game will come to console or be pc only.
Is there any plan for it to come to console as square enix have shown in 2014 with pc and ps4 comparability in game it can be done with mouse and keyboard comparability and controller, and for both to work in raids and parties and not effect the over all gameplay, especially if this games road map is still 3 years in the making

[loud siren]

i just got alpha 1. where do i find a key?

Hiya, will there be an opportunity to preload before the servers go live for alpha one tomorrow?

[plucky pawn]

we'll email you and notify you here on Discord when you can log in and download!

[fallow veldt]

servers are already live though, no? isnt just the visual nda being lifted?

[round tusk]

Cool. See you folks there tomorrow then.

[plucky pawn]

folks have been joining us for ongoing spot testing, yup - and indeed, it's the visual NDA that's lifted!

[crystal beacon]

what time will the server open tomorrow?

[rigid fossil]

don't know yet, they're working on fixing some bugs from last night's test, so whenever the patch is finished and ready to go

[crystal beacon]

nice, ty

Is there an estimated timeframe for the servers to go live tomorrow?

[dark jungle]

not yet afaik

[mental ledge]

i just bought the adventerer package, but i don't have the alpha one role and it doesn't show up on my orders

[full badger]

@mental ledge please follow the instructions above to link your accounts

[mental ledge]

I have done that, does it take some time after purchase perhaps?

[full badger]

It can do.

[outer salmon]

is there an estimated realease?

[foggy inlet]

When it says NoNDA tomorrow, does that mean that streaming and content creating can go live?

[full badger]

There is no official date for the release. Community estimates are 2-3 years away

[full badger]

Once the nda is lifted you can stream and record gameplay as much as you like 🙂

[foggy inlet]

Cool, was scouring the forums for any info on when and I just saw the image. Wanted to make sure. Ill keep an eye out for when its announced that its lifted!

Ok thank you for your time 😛

[restive crag]

So... how long until we can see gameplay from the Alpha without NDA?

Or rather. Do we have the time when NDA will be lifted

[full badger]

As soon as the nda is lifted and the tests are happening, there will likely be lots of people streaming the game. The nda is due to be lifted tomorrow (9th July)

[half beacon]

I did all of that still not working

[full badger]

Please double check you are linking the current discord accounts (check the #ID being linked) - sometimes discord creates a new account for you instead of using your original account

so i got it linked, now what

[humble trout]

seems like u got roles

[full badger]

Answered in the testing channels 🙂

[tulip hatch]

Now you have roles that provide access to the testing channels

[primal cloud]

What roles should we see on our profile on the Forums if we have Alpha and Beta keys?

Literally 1 minute after I posted this question, my profile updated from just having “Member” role to “Alpha One” and “Adventurer”, please disregard my question 🙂

[stable plover]

"Alpha One" for people with A1 access is the only one that does anything atm. In general people will also have their package name.

[primal cloud]

@stable plover thanks for the info 😉

Where can I find a link to an update launcher download ?

[sharp oriole]

so when this game gonna be finished?

[desert ivy]

No official date. Community members usually speculate 2-3 years

but that's mostly just guessing

[sharp oriole]

how does one play it now?

[sour plaza]

To play alpha 1 you need to buy the alpha one pack.

[north briar]

Are login credentials the same as for the intrepid website & do I need to find a key and enter it anywhere?

[dark jungle]

credentials are the same as the official website

you dont need a key

[agile nymph]

i was thinking about upgrading to alpha 1 do you think its worth? the stuff ive seen looks amazing. i just dont know

[spiral pine]

If you dont know

Dont

[stable plover]

If you want to buy into A1 it's mainly about wanting to be actively personally involved in the development process. Interact with the devs some, relatively tight knit testing community. My general recommendation is for most people to wait for A2 (more convenient testing times since it's not 24/7 until then, more content, less bugs). If you have a ton of money lying around and want an unusual experience go for it. You could always wait to see people streaming tomorrow at least.

[mild star]

I bought into a1 and wanted to know how I would Install when I can. I've gotten an email asking if I will be participating but don't know if there's anything else I need to do or visit so that I can download.

[spark cove]

A1 is an hell of experience and i like it.

[stable plover]

You were tagged elsewhere

[north briar]

Likewise for me Greypelt. I bought A1 a few days (upgraded from Voyager) but have not received the email he mentioned.

[agile nymph]

ok ill most likely get it

[stable plover]

You were tagged elsewhere

[tight gale]

Be sure to check your junk/spam folder - sometimes our emails go there. (If you can, add @obsidian knoll.com to your safe list. :P)

[plucky pawn]

folks may have upgraded after our most recent email went out though 😄

in which case, Discord/forums are your best bet for latest info!

[tight gale]

Ja, followed up with the link. 😉

[stable plover]

The email shouldn't be required for anyone that upgraded after they went out.

If my Intrepid account and discord are already linked do I need to worry about the email?

Nope

what timezone does NDA get lifted for? like its the 9th, but the 9th for which timezone

Pst

But realistic Steven time. They have set a time but servers might not go up exactly then. There are always unexpected issues.

[desert ivy]

11am PST

[crystal beacon]

Hi so im an old backer but I dont have any badges or access on my forum account to the Alpha 1?

[plucky pawn]

what backer level do you have?

[stable plover]

Note that the NDA removal isn't retroactive for footage from previous tests, so it's mainly when the servers go up tomorrow

[crystal beacon]

It's been like four years since I bought it but I bought the access into Alpha 1 testing

Not sure which level that's called, I paid $375

[dark jungle]

thats alpha 2

not alpha 1

[plucky pawn]

that would not have included Alpha One access 😄

[crystal beacon]

Now it is?

[dark jungle]

alpha 1 packs are $500+

[crystal beacon]

I specifically bought into A1

as a founder

[dark jungle]

when?

[plucky pawn]

you can see what pack you have and what testing access you have in your inventory by following the steps here: https://support.ashesofcreation.com/hc/en-us/articles/360034774733-Where-do-I-view-my-Kickstarter-and-other-purchased-items-

[dark jungle]

all the kickstarter and summer packs are listed there

[plucky pawn]

I would recommend checking your inventory first at the link above, and letting us know which pack it is you've got!

then we can help pinpoint which access you have 😄

[dark jungle]

yeah $375 is alpha 2

[empty rune]

when does the servers go online?

[dark jungle]

founder is alpha 2 as well

tonights test or tomorrows?

tonight they are on soon

tomorrow they go on at 11am PDT

[crystal beacon]

Okay yeah I see thanks

[analog ibex]

$375 was most likely the early bird for braver of worlds that will gain you alpha 1. Unless you didn't pay it in USD

You can usually confirm what you have on the ashes of creation website, under Accounts

[stable plover]

(400$ was the lowest early bird BoW went, so you'd be looking for a currency worth more than USD)

[dark jungle]

^^

i was just typing what greypelt said

[crystal beacon]

Well I'm just saying what my account on Intrepid says I paid haha

I use AUD

[dark jungle]

then you got an even lower pack

[crystal beacon]

I paid $375 USD

[dark jungle]

toast gave you the link to check your purchase history

it will say in there

exactly what packs you have

[analog ibex]

Yeah that's usually the easiest way to know exactly what you have

[dark jungle]

also if you got a lower pack you can still upgrade to get alpha 1 access for the difference in price

[analog ibex]

If it says anything that says Braver of Worlds, that's when you sigh in relief that you have alpha 1 access

[crystal beacon]

Yeah I only checked dashboard lol, voyager :(

thanks for the help

i thought i had the A1 pack xd

[dark jungle]

you can upgrade from voyager to adventurer for the difference in price if you really wanted a1 access

[analog ibex]

4 years ago you bought a pre order?! D:

[dark jungle]

that is poss

pre-orders started in 2017

[analog ibex]

Oh well haha $375 for braver of worlds does sound a little good to be true now that I think about it, unless it was a thing for the earliest of early birds

[astral anchor]

do the different packs give an equal amount of gametime for the price of the pack or is it mostly just cosmetic/alpha access

[dark jungle]

different game time in each pack

the amount is listed in the pack

[analog ibex]

The kickstarter packs each have different game time and amount of in game currency

[astral anchor]

but like per the $ ur spending on the pack

so like would it be similar to that amount of gametime when the game comes out

or is most of the cost just supporting it early

[dark jungle]

the game time is listed so you can divide the amount you paid by the game time to see what the cost is

[analog ibex]

It's for when the game comes out

[astral anchor]

how much is the game sub gonna be

when it comes out

[dark jungle]

$14.99

[astral anchor]

ah ok

[chrome prism]

Does anyone know if I can put a guild recruitment in my native language? It's not listed in the ones currently supported

Only supported language guild recruitment on this server please - I don't think https://www.reddit.com/r/AshesRecruitment/ has language restrictions

[chrome prism]

Alright thanks

[stable agate]

At what time is the Alpha w no NDA pushed out? excited to watch the game more than from the dev updates.

[stable plover]

11 AM PST 7/9

[rancid grove]

im curious to see some live game play as well, was interested with Pantheon and then found out AoC later, now i have no interest with Pantheon rofl

[empty rune]

so in about 8 hours time?

[stable plover]

about 15? (ppl will be by in a moment to check my math ^-^)

[stable agate]

15 hours.

[rancid grove]

awesome

[empty rune]

oh yea

cool

[ancient merlin]

wait the Alpha One starts 7/9? i thought it was on 7/14. i am new to this discord, didnt realize i had to join it. How do i DL the client to be ready?

[tight gale]

7/9 is our Alpha One Preview Weekend. 😉

Alpha One starts 7/14. 🤗

[sacred bloom]

Is there rough estimate for the start time

[ancient merlin]

nice, i feel better now lol:)

[stable plover]

11am PST

[sacred bloom]

thanks

[ancient merlin]

thanks for the process share! i have Voyager Pre-Order:( Thought that was alpha one, see ya on alpha 2!

[final pollen]

How long till visual NDA lifts ?

[stable plover]

about 14.6 hours

[final pollen]

ight

[stable plover]

Note that the visual NDA release isn't retroactive for old footage, only good for footage from tomorrow-Sunday's test (So if there's a delay in servers coming up, won't see much besides the launcher)

[final pollen]

ahh ok

[west ridge]

I hope the bald man streams it

[heavy lagoon]

Does the NDA release allow for retroactive oral communication?

Like discussing of pre-NDA stuff in a stream or discord?

[gritty marten]

(I'm assuming that since the verbal NDA was lifted before, you should be fine if it's not visual.)

[plucky pawn]

the verbal NDA for our current spot testing has been lifted for a while

[round tusk]

So I just noticed that I'm able to DL the game now, will this same build work for alpha one?

[plucky pawn]

just tagged ya in the right place for help

[faint lake]

Can we get some sort of timer for when the servers are live during this 3 day weekend test? Maybe on the website? Or do we just spam refresh on Twitch till we see streams of Ashes :x

[scenic dirge]

Greetings. When will it be allowed/authorized to broadcast/live the game? Day and hour. I want to continue respecting the terms of the NDA and I would like an answer that would give me security in being able to open my live on youtube and show everyone this dream coming true.

[velvet spear]

Should be tomorrow 11am PST when the next test starts but I'm gonna ping @plucky pawn just for confirmation

[faint lake]

I do believe they mentioned 11am PST during AllCraft... but regardless since this isn't a persistent test, would be great if we had advance notice so we can plan around it!

[wraith stump]

I was able logged into the game. Is tomorrow going to be different than what is running now?

[plucky pawn]

as of now testers have been told the plan is to start at 11AM Pacific tomorrow 😄

[plucky pawn]

please follow the steps above to get your Discord and Intrepid accounts connected, so I can help answer ya in the right spot!

[desert ivy]

No, the build will basically be the same

maybe with some additional bug fixes

[wraith stump]

Need to fiddle with the controls. Not digging the default settings

[harsh moon]

When the visual NDA lifts does that mean as a content creator/alpha 1 tester you can only share content from this point on and not any screenshots etc prior to the visual NDA restriction?

[plucky pawn]

that is correct - you should not have been taking screenshots/videos at all during the NDA test period

[west ridge]

Yes

[harsh moon]

Thanks for the quick reply! 👍

[stable plover]

Also note that the NDA visual drop is only from July 9-11th and Juiy 14th-August 13th currently, specifically there might be a test(s) under visual NDA July 12-13th (footage from the 9th-11th could still be played after those dates)

[harsh moon]

Understood, just wanted official confirmation as a couple of guild members thought otherwise 👍
You know how some people can be, they will battle you over their own personal opinion until the end of time unless you have official proof, yet they won't go out and find that proof themselves lol

[tacit orbit]

Toast is great

[wraith stump]

I have connected my accounts

[plucky pawn]

hmm it doesn't look like you have based on your roles here!

[wraith stump]

it's the only dicord accout I have and when i use the link is shows i'm linked

[plucky pawn]

when you're on the connection screen, does the profile picture match the profile picture on your current Discord account?

[wraith stump]

no. so how to I unlink what ever account it is

[plucky pawn]

there should be a disconnect button when you're logged in and see them connected

[wraith stump]

how is that?

[plucky pawn]

then when you go to connect again, hit the "Not You?" option on the Discord prompt, and make sure you've logged in with the correct Discord account

[wraith stump]

It matched not. thanks and sorry

[lone magnet]

When NDA lifted

[plucky pawn]

when servers go live for the Preview Weekend at 11AM Pacific tomorrow

[sacred bloom]

Is there any difference game play wise between the preview and main alpha

Just whatever changes are in the latest patch. Overall it should be relatively the same

Hi.. is this game only for NA/EU/OCE? I’m from Malaysia, not sure if I can play?

Waiting release

[compact hemlock]

when will the servers for alpha be up?

[slim kettle]

6 messages up

[primal cloud]

4am Australian Eastern Standard Time Saturday

[grim hollow]

Can be updated the old launcher/client....or need to remove everything to install fresh?

[primal cloud]

@grim hollow says in the FAQ's that yes, you should uninstall the old one and install the new one

[pallid wolf]

so in 10 hours servers be turn on?

so is that to play or just make charas ready to play?

[primal cloud]

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/images/2/2e/map2.jpg

Is it possible to find the alpha one map on this map?

@deep pawn yeah I've seen the wiki page I'm just trying to determine exactly where it is

[final ocean]

do node experience diminish over time if nobody perform any activity in that node?

[velvet spear]

Yes it does

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Nodes#Node_atrophy

[final ocean]

great thks a lot

[tropic yew]

How can i get alpha access? :c

[velvet spear]

https://ashesofcreation.com/shop/60e5ec7e3e6fd10120253979

[tropic yew]

500$?!

[velvet spear]

Yep

[tropic yew]

Jaix

[grim breach]

Only if you have Alpha 1 access. Anyone who have Alpha 1 access have been doing testing for the past few months.

[pallid wolf]

i just started now

[grim breach]

If you have bought the Adventurer package, you need to setup your account properly.

[final ocean]

Am I correct saying that if a node nearby mine vassals my node, I will never have any option to refuse/fight/overpass this node that grew faster than mine in the first place?

[tropic yew]

500 bucks is kinda jaix, i mean thats quite an commitment for taking a curious glance, guess waiting it is :/

Thanks for the quick answer tho :)

[pallid wolf]

i payed the $500

[grim breach]

Yes so follow the steps above.

https://support.ashesofcreation.com/hc/en-us/articles/1500009851702

[tropic yew]

Im to poor to afford that but j hope you will have fun!

[velvet spear]

It's priced at $500 specifically to deter people from jumping in for a curious glance. Intrepid 100% supports anyone's decision to wait until later in development when the price is cheaper or until launch when you can play for $15

[velvet spear]

Correct

[final ocean]

thks for answers

[grim breach]

The only way to fight them is to renounce your citizenship from your node and declare a siege on your parent node. Note that it's individuals who declare sieges onto a Node, not another Node.

[velvet spear]

NDA lifts tomorrow so the AoC channel on Twitch is going to be bursting, make sure to check it out

[pallid wolf]

i ready to go just finding out what happingthanx all

interesting, eager to see if there will be a lot of rebellions

[tropic yew]

Id be all in for throughout gametesting and even commit hard work finding Bugs, giving feedback - if there was an immediate option to become game tester i'd.
I love game design and discussing concepts wholeheartedly.
But this is strictly and entry barrier for me which is not measured by passion but rather my wallet.
I didnt want to start up a political discussion tho, thanks again for your help.

[velvet spear]

[summer flame]

A2 gonna be lit though.

[grim breach]

Maybe look for QA job openings for Intrepid and you'll have your chance to get paid to test their game. :jeffWut:

[tropic yew]

Theres nothing like that from what ive found on their website. 🤷
Would be a job offering id take any day 😂

[glossy sierra]

Are you prepared to jump into every nook of the map over and over and over

[velvet spear]

My first day of testing I made a Dwarf specifically to try and get through the map and onto the volcano

[glossy sierra]

ayyyy

[granite trout]

Will the volcano erupt.

[velvet spear]

It's actively erupting at all times. Whether or not we ever see a proper event around it during testing is unknown.

[granite trout]

That would definitely be cool though to see an event like that

[tropic yew]

Ye, ive been walljumping and walkijh in vanilla wow all day 😂

[granite trout]

Where it is creating and different types of lava monsters

[dark jungle]

11am pacific time

[granite trout]

Once we hit level 15. Are we able to pic our second class

[pallid wolf]

only lvl 1 to 10 playable now ?

[velvet spear]

2025

[granite trout]

Cool

[velvet spear]

I think it's 15? But if it is 10 it makes no difference gameplay wise atm

[full badger]

The max level in the tests right now is 15

[granite trout]

Or second class is available in the testing

[velvet spear]

There are no secondary Archetypes yet. Only 3 base classes Tank, Cleric, Mage

[full badger]

Secondary classes won't be implemented until Alpha 2 at the earliest.

[granite trout]

Ok

[full badger]

Also just for clarification @velvet spear @granite trout the secondary class becomes available at level 25, not 20

[pallid wolf]

i just cant wait to do this

[granite trout]

[quartz glade]

Is there a countdown when the alpha will start ?

[full badger]

No command for it afaik, but the time is 11am pst @quartz glade

[pallid wolf]

someone start one then

i in australia

[granite trout]

You guys don't have a game room in discord

[dapper chasm]

What do u mean?

[rocky finch]

are caravans in the alpha 1?

[full badger]

I believe so, but can't remember 100% @rocky finch

[opal breach]

if i use a cosmetic on something & that thing get destroyed will the cosmetic be lost?
also will there be a collection system for claiming multiple cosmetics, so if i do loose something i can claim another

[deep pawn]

I don't think you would lose cosmetics

[pallid wolf]

i dont think u can claim now thats on release

[opal breach]

that be relief not just cuz i want to use shaded duckling on everything

[opal breach]

i wasn't meaning now

[dark jungle]

cosmetics are bound to your account, not to the item. if the item is lost or if you choose to move the cosmetic to another item/character you may do so from your account management page (at launch).

[opal breach]

thx i was worried, am i able claim multiple for example using shaded duckling on every pet

[full badger]

Each Cosmetic can only be placed on one item at a time @opal breach

[opal breach]

i understand makes feel more rare

[austere dragon]

I have a question. Is it still not fixed, that you have to have Windows in EN version??

[full badger]

I don't know if that issue has been fixed. Nobody I've seen has reported it in a while

[austere dragon]

I cant install it because of that propably

[full badger]

Looks like it yes. Please try changing the windows language

[deep pawn]

delete pic until nda is lifted

U can put it in the nda channel

[scenic dirge]

Hi All!!! how can i confirm if My "connect your Discord and Intrepid accounts" ??

i made the process, but i dont know if all its OK

[spiral pine]

You have the roles

[scenic dirge]

thx Arc but i dont see nothing changed 🙂

[full badger]

@austere dragon He wasn't wrong in what he said. I didn't realise we were in the non-nda questions channel. But yeah, the visual nda isn't lifted until 11am pst today 🙂

[scenic dirge]

but if you Say, its ok for me

[spiral pine]

Click on your profile here and you will see your roles

[full badger]

I pinged you in the nda testing channels, do you not see them @scenic dirge ?

[scenic dirge]

nop

just one blue sign MEMBER

[full badger]

Ok. Please try logging out of discord and logging back in again

[scenic dirge]

ok

im back, and NOW all its OK, THX for Help

Alpha One / Adventure / Member = is this? all its ok now?

[torpid hill]

When this game will launch? Curious

[scenic dirge]

if YES TY again

[spiral pine]

Yes thats correct

[spiral pine]

When its ready

[full badger]

We have no official release date for it yet. Community estimates are 2-3 years away

[torpid hill]

👍

[burnt mist]

So when during alpha 1 can we expect to see the fighter and ranger classes added? Will they be in for this weekend or will we see them at some point during the month long test?

[spiral pine]

Probably sometime after the month long test

[full badger]

The ranger archetype is the next one to be added, but it got delayed because Intrepid wanted to get the base combat right before adding more archetypes to the game @burnt mist

[burnt mist]

Understood

[cinder kindle]

How many hours till nda lift?

[marble basin]

4.40 ish?

[deep pawn]

Ye

[celest moat]

so today is the "alpha 1 preview weekend" start with no nda, right? so will there be any streams?

[opal breach]

streamers who have alpha will

[sudden hollow]

So I just got access to Alpha 1 but I am struggling to figure out how to download the game. Working in a little bit and was hoping to have it downloading while I worked so I could get going afterwards. There was mention of a channel in discord for that but I am not seeing anything. Any suggestions?

[lean current]

I don't have A1, so I don't have own experience, but from what I read here, you need to connect your discord account to your intrepid account

then you get the channel with instructions on how to download

[floral lodge]

how long is the wait time on a ticket on the site?

[celest moat]

soo in how many hours does the alpha 1 preview weekend begins?

[velvet spear]

Gonna vary today b/c of the A1 test and NDA lift. What's the issue?

[floral lodge]

request for A1

[velvet spear]

As in you just purchased the key and need to set up your account?

[floral lodge]

yea bought it months ago but havent setted up my account

[dapper chasm]

months ago, there wasnt an alpha 1 package

[floral lodge]

hmm pretty sure i saw A1 listed in the one i bought in march

[velvet spear]

You can check the Intrepid store to know for sure what you have

[dapper chasm]

how is ur package named?
Since im too lazy to look if they started the a1 sales in march or april...

[floral lodge]

not sure where to check tbh

Voyager Plus Pre-Order Pack

is listed in inventory

ah did they add another one later?

[velvet spear]

That's the $375 A2 key.

[floral lodge]

ah alright il upgrade then

[velvet spear]

Yea, today's the A1 test which is $500, but you'd only have to pay the difference

[floral lodge]

noticed there's an option

[velvet spear]

Yep, once you've purchased it go through the steps listed above and we'll see you in the testing channels!

[floral lodge]

thanks!

[sturdy topaz]

Do we have to pay to try the alpha? (Sorry don't have much info about it)

[tight socket]

yeah its $500

[sturdy topaz]

Oh alright thank you

[tight socket]

no problem 🙂

[remote osprey]

What time does it start? The NDA drop

[dapper chasm]

11 AM PST

[remote osprey]

So 4h from now?

[sly monolith]

people allowed to stream alpha?

[spiral pine]

Yes

[fallow veldt]

i somehow remember someone saying that the cosmetic cash shop wasnt in stevens plans but that the community wanted it and asked for it

is that true?

[spiral pine]

No

[deep pawn]

Someone had corrected that other someone shortly after

[fallow veldt]

hmm

[loud sun]

Just to be sure. The test today through Sunday has no NDA right?

[fallow veldt]

pretty sure the cosmetic cash shop is peoples' biggest concern with this game atm

[fallow veldt]

yes

[loud sun]

Thanks

[quartz atlas]

What's the NDA look like for this Alpha Testing?

[fallow veldt]

starting today, in 4h, there will be no more nda

[quartz atlas]

so what you're saying is it's going to be a long night lol

[spiral pine]

There will be no more NDA for the set days

Not No NDA period

[worthy salmon]

has it been confirmed if you can level up doing stuff except pve? for example if you want to be a crafter or pvper only and stuff like that

[mystic mango]

Wait is the NDA lifted today?

[full badger]

yes, at 11am pst today

[mystic mango]

Oh cool

Is it visual as well as verbal?

[full badger]

the combat levelling is separate from the crafting levelling, so you can be a master craftsman at combat level 1 (in theory)

[worthy salmon]

ah ok

[full badger]

the entire nda will be lifted. You can stream, record, talk about it, etc. all you like 🙂

[worthy salmon]

oh cool!

[mystic mango]

Will people be able to upload pre-recorded footage?

Like stuff they recorded under the nda

[worthy salmon]

is the combat level including pve and pvp exp or are those different too

[full badger]

No, the nda will still be in place for any tests before today @mystic mango

[full badger]

I don't know if you get exp for pvp'ing. @simple ether any ideas?

[worthy salmon]

thats one aspect i loved from warhammer online, you could level up doing only pvp if you wanted to including getting loot

[rocky finch]

that would be nice, in Archeage you get 10k exp for kills in war zones, it was pretty nice

[turbid crypt]

What's the difference between the alpha one preview weekend, and the alpha one testing?

[opal breach]

is there a mod i could pm

[full badger]

I'm available now if you like

[full badger]

the length of time mostly.

[turbid crypt]

@full badger so do people with alpha one access get to start later today? or july 14th

[full badger]

Anyone with alpha 1 access can start today

[turbid crypt]

so exciting 🙂 ty

[fallow veldt]

do we know of any major difference between A1 starting on the 14th and the current preview?

i'd assume theres a big difference, seeing as a preview is.. well.. a preview.

[spiral pine]

there is no big difference

[somber comet]

Were can I download the game. I have alpha 1 access.

[spiral pine]

follow that

[dapper chasm]

It shouldnt even been possible to show 'old' records, since it was prohibited to record or make screenshots while testing with NDA.

[somber comet]

Yeah I tried I suck with thi sstuff lol

I'll look again

Nice got it now. Thank you.

[fiery horizon]

Hello glorious players ! Anyone knows will there be only Lyneth for Alpha ?
any EU servers maybe ?

[main hull]

yesterday there was one eu server

[fiery horizon]

Really ?

nice

I saw only Lyneth all day long tbh

[flat lance]

At what time today does the no nda alpha start?

[dark jungle]

11am pacific

[flat lance]

Ty

[solid geode]

Any idea if the longform podcast from yesterday will be made available for people who couldn't watch it live or is that more on Asmongold's end?

[dark jungle]

its asmon's call when or if he does that

[solid geode]

Got it, thanks!

[tranquil willow]

You can watch the VOD on his twitch channel

[worthy salmon]

@solid geode you can watch the vod

[tranquil willow]

I got the link if you want

[acoustic pecan]

Upgraded to A1 access yesterday, but forum doesn't have A1 listed on my roles... just something that takes some time, or do I need to do something else to activate A1 status?

[worthy salmon]

@solid geode https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1080410941?filter=archives&sort=time starts at about 05:20:00

[spiral pine]

follow that

[acoustic pecan]

I did

that's why I posted my question lol

[tranquil willow]

In that case, contact a moderator

[spiral pine]

are you sure you followed it to a T

[acoustic pecan]

thanks @tranquil willow

[plucky pawn]

Make sure you've logged out and back in on the forums specifically

[acoustic pecan]

did that

[plucky pawn]

And then Ctrl + F5

You can DM me your forum profile link

[acoustic pecan]

kk let me run through it one more time just to make sure I didn't fat finger anything

[upbeat ibex]

I keep having this error when patching the last launcher, did reinstall it like 10 times already always the same issue

[worthy salmon]

@plucky pawn hello, no one here knew an answer to my question but maybe you know. is it possible to level up your combat level by doing pvp only if you want to like in warhammer online/ archage?

[dark jungle]

nda hasnt dropped yet

[upbeat ibex]

sry mb

[worthy salmon]

nda drops in less than 3 hours if my calculations are correct with the timezsones

[cloud falcon]

2 hours 40 minutes

[amber wadi]

Do you guys after loggin in the launcher, while trying to update,your launcher close instantly ?

[spiral pine]

yes

its a bug

[amber wadi]

ok so it not just me, i will wait for something to fix it then thank you

[spiral pine]

a reinstall fixes it

[amber wadi]

oh xD ok imma try then ^^

[plucky pawn]

There is no XP for PvP in current testing - whether there will be later on is likely a good question for our team during an upcoming live stream!

[rustic finch]

yo how do i get access to this preview weekend? or is it for streamers only?

[worthy salmon]

alright, being able to level up doing pvp was one of my favorite things in warhammer online! i hope it gets added in one form or another. where would be the best place to put a suggestion/question regarding this feature for the devs to consider it?

[full badger]

you can gain access by buying the adventurer pre-order pack in the intrepid store

[rustic finch]

thanks

i upgraded to adventurer

where do i actually download the game now

[deep pawn]

You probably would be able to gain xp when you bounty hunt corrupted players.

The Forum would be the best place for suggestions

[rustic finch]

do i have to wait for the servers to go up before i can start downloading?

[amber wadi]

[meager nexus]

how can i activate my alpha 1 key/link my discord to my intrepid account

[spiral pine]

Right above you have the steps

[plucky pawn]

no need to activate any key, it's already on the account - and just follow the steps above!

[meager nexus]

lmao i just noticed sorry, thx

[crystal beacon]

I think ive done all that, just dont know what to do now that everything is connected

never mind I used my brain LUL

[spiral pine]

[solid geode]

@worthy salmon Thank you! Appreciate you linking that vod

[rich mango]

Just bought the $500 bundle, I can see it in my Order History / Inventory, but I don't have the "Alpha One" role on the forum which apparently is needed for alpha one access (which is the reason I bought it). I made a support ticket, but is there anything else I can do to speed up the process ? Thx in advance 🙂

[plucky pawn]

@rich mango follow all the steps above exactly in order, no support ticket needed

[rich mango]

It stops at step 2. I've been through that list already, but thx tho. I cant see the role on the forum. I logged out, even restarted the PC and cleared chrome cache @plucky pawn

[lofty seal]

Is it normal ?

[dark jungle]

nda hasnt dropped yet

[plucky pawn]

did you log out and in on the forums?

[plucky pawn]

you should not be posting/sharing any screenshots yet. please ask for help down in the correct channels!

[rich mango]

@plucky pawn yup. both the site and the forum. just did on the forum again but to no avail 😦

[plucky pawn]

please DM me a link to your forum profile

[rich mango]

ohh, now it shows lol

sry for taking ur time. i did the ctrl + f5 on the site, but apparently not on the forum

thx 🙂

[reef imp]

Is there a know problem for downloading the game? Because mine keeps freezing?

[slim sundial]

Will the NDA be completely lifted once the servers are up today?

[deep pawn]

Yep

[icy depot]

what does NDA mean

[tranquil willow]

Non-disclosure Agreement

[lean rapids]

Nda will only be lifted on non NDA things

That does not mean you can share footage of older tests

[icy depot]

thx

[desert ivy]

[plucky pawn]

please make sure you're posting in the right places!

[tight charm]

oh my bad where is the right place ?

[rigid fossil]

#spot-testing-questions

[plucky mauve]

Servers not up yet

[tight charm]

okay thanks

[hushed pike]

when there will be no nda

[rigid bobcat]

What’s NDA and non NDA??? Does it mean I can play the game while it’s still being developed???

[mossy kraken]

NDA means you can play the game but you can't record the game and display it to the public

the verbal NDA got dropped meaning you can talk about it

[rigid bobcat]

Oh ight thx

[dapper thistle]

any idea when the visual NDA will be lifted and the streams start?

[spiral pine]

in 20 min

[dapper thistle]

swear...

jeeeeeesssh

bout to pop open a can of ice cream and chill to shreds

[granite trout]

So at 2:00 we can record content gameplay that we do

[ivory oak]

oops...

[full badger]

Once the servers go live, yes

[tawdry swallow]

I have a question, will AOC be region locked? I am in Africa and I usually join EU servers in most games, I just want to make sure it isn't region locked like Lost Ark, cause that would be a bummer
