questions

[quartz glade]

is there a page for ashes on twitch ? there should be

[restive crag]

there is

just search

Ashes of creation

lol

[high spade]

no ip block

[tawdry swallow]

Yay good to hear

[quartz glade]

I meant a section to see all the streamers not ashes account

[tranquil willow]

There will be a category, yes

[restive crag]

Thats exactly what I meant

[high spade]

it already has 10k+ viewers

[tacit orbit]

Hype

[odd skiff]

Theres going to be alot more

[solar arrow]

Hey guys I linked up my account and discord but still can't seem to find the download could someone help me please

[pallid basalt]

asmon will bring more than 100k+ viewers

[fallow veldt]

yeah lmao

asmon

[stable plover]

AoC won't be doing region locks themselves as a country, it's possible some countries governments might disagree.
For some price harmonized srevers, say a theoretical Brazil server, paying the reduced price for that server only lets you play there. (but people in Brazil could pay more to play on US servers if they wanted).

[tawdry forum]

Asmon is at 105k so far

[fallow veldt]

i really like that idea, thats great

[tawdry swallow]

well that might not be great for me. My government can be a pain in the ass when it comes to these stuff, but lets say World of Warcraft and BDO work fine here, is it a fair assumption to say AOC would work fine too? The games that didnt work were Lost Ark and Tera

[tacit orbit]

Here before people ask how to join a server

[glossy sierra]

how to pick server

[stable plover]

I don't know enough about your government to answer that.

[glossy sierra]

:^)

[stable plover]

Next to launch game button on launcher is pull out server select

[glossy sierra]

❤️

[tawdry swallow]

I dont expect you too, but if Ashes follows the same server format as WoW OR BDO then it is safe to assume it will work fine as well

[stable plover]

AoC is running its servers through Amazon Web Services if that helps answer your question.

[lavish pasture]

I launched and made a character but when I hit play nothing happens. Are servers down?

[stable plover]

The servers at least aren't entirely up yet

[lavish pasture]

Alright thank you 🙂

[grim hollow]

\play button broken ?

[lavish pasture]

Servers aren't completely up yet

[crystal beacon]

ok yeah same here just wanted to check

[coral sorrel]

AWS is great 👀

[tawdry swallow]

I believe AWS is available in my country so it is safe to assume it will be okay. Thanks for the reply.

[abstract trellis]

alpha 1 = 45k viewers , emmm isn't that illegal 😂

[dapper chasm]

Why should it be? 🤔

[safe wigeon]

So I bought the alpha one testifng but iu cant find the download link does the package not count the preview as alpha 1?

[lament timber]

if people can watch some sauced tart in a bikini sleeping in a baby pool we can watch some loading screens

[stable ledge]

NDA is lifted, yes? streaming is acceptable, yes?

[lament timber]

yes

[fallow veldt]

yes.

[stable ledge]

nice

[plucky pawn]

@lavish pasture @grim hollow @crystal beacon make sure you're asking down in our special channels!

[abstract trellis]

too much 😂 gz aoc

[stable plover]

@tropic grail Follow the directions above from modbot to link your discord and Intrepid accounts

[open sierra]

@obsidian knoll GJ all of u nice !!

[crystal beacon]

Where can I find a timeline/calendar of what happens after the Alpha 1 weekend?

[torpid spindle]

seems alot of people are having sound issues with streaming, whats working for people

[faint lake]

Well played @idle siren !

[celest valve]

I've never played an Alpha/Beta before and so this question might be mega dumb. Do you get to keep the character you make if you like him/her? Or do characters get deleted once the game actually launches?

[weak nacelle]

I have disconnected and reconnected from the forum, verified my Role as Alpha 1 tester, disconnected and reconnected my discord accounts and I am unable to view the testing channels and get the latest download for the launcher. @plucky pawn

[torpid spindle]

you will have a new charecter, and servers wipe alot during alpha/ betas

[dreamy nexus]

any info on release date?

[plucky pawn]

make sure you've connected your Intrepid account to the right Discord account. you can go through the connection process again, and when the Discord prompt comes up hit "Not you?" to make sure you're logged into the right Discord account

[dreamy nexus]

rough date

[plucky pawn]

characters and progress will be wiped many times during testing!

[plucky pawn]

we haven't shared anything on our release plans at this time

[celest valve]

Goootcha. Thanks! 😆

[ripe helm]

I am getting an error logging in to the forums

[weak nacelle]

@plucky pawn I just reconnected my discord again, triple checked it and am still unable to see the newest link for the launcher downloader. I am unsure what i should do next. I have access to the forum and the orange banner information and have followed the instructions to the T at least 3 times.

[plucky pawn]

what's the error?

[plucky pawn]

you have the roles, you are good to go

[weak nacelle]

Thank you!!!

[ripe helm]

Something went wrong, but we will fix that soon.

[plucky pawn]

please make sure you've set a forum display name, and that your email is verified

[plucky pawn]

I've tagged you in the right spot for where to get more info

[abstract trellis]

willl there be sieges in alpha1 ?

[upper tulip]

where do i sign up for the siege?

[thorny warren]

When i just upgraded my pack to the alpha 1 access pack, can i access the preview this weekend too?

[stable plover]

yes

[stable plover]

Follow those steps^ if you should have a1 access

[thorny warren]

thanks a bunch

[rotund flume]

looking at streams right now, everyone is doing quests. As someone who doesn't like theme park mmo's, can I just ignore the quests and focus on the sandbox stuff or will the game be more grindy if I do so?

[stable plover]

The quests are completely ignoreable if you want

[abstract trellis]

do we get sieges on alpha1 ?

[austere rain]

Can't believe I'm seeing AWS discussions outside of work 🤣

[stable plover]

Yes, they won't be constantly running and ppl will need to get into guild groups for them.

[abstract trellis]

ty

[glossy sierra]

is there a way to sheath my weapon manually after combat instead of waiting?

[plucky pawn]

not at this time! also probably faster to get more help down in our specific alpha channels 😄

[glossy sierra]

thank you ❤️

[warped mirage]

Anyone has issue with login in into website?

[tiny vine]

So if i buy the adventurer pre-order package i get to play throughout alpha 1?

[warped mirage]

Getting Something went wrong, but we will fix that soon. error all over again, even with reseted password and stuff.

[wintry shell]

is the character collision a design choice or something that could be fixed?

[knotty ibex]

if i purchased the $375 version of the game, should i be seeing my role as "member" and not Alpha One access?

[plucky pawn]

logging into the forums? make sure you've got a forum display name set, and your email is verified!

[plucky pawn]

correct!

[crystal flax]

@knotty ibex $375 doesn't have A1

[plucky pawn]

not all of the elements of collision, such as momentum/inertia are in quite yet

[tiny vine]

Awesome! thank you for your awesome work hero!

[plucky pawn]

that's correct, the Voyager Pre-Order Pack doesn't include Alpha One

[knotty ibex]

oh? which version of the game does?

[valid girder]

which classes available rn?

[plucky pawn]

the Adventurer Pre-Order Pack includes Alpha One access 😄

[plucky pawn]

tank, cleric, and mage!

[valid girder]

thanks! Do we have any information about classes in Beta 1?

[abstract mountain]

Hi is there any way to move the keybind from the autoatack to one of the normal attacks?

Visually I mean, just the icon itself

[plucky pawn]

not at this time!

[pastel comet]

Hello, I got alpha2 founder package on sep2020. But its now showing on my purchase history

Is that normal?

[full badger]

@pastel comet please check your profile inventory https://support.ashesofcreation.com/hc/en-us/articles/360034774733-Where-do-I-view-my-Kickstarter-and-other-purchased-items-

[past pawn]

Alpha 1 weekend is just this weekend for now yes?

[full badger]

correct

[past pawn]

Ok thought so. It’s my busy weekend with work lol

Usually how it goes for me, rip

[deep pawn]

Lol, it's alright. It will be month long soon

[pastel comet]

@full badger my inventory is empty

[full badger]

If you're sure you're on the correct account, please submit a support ticket then

[still helm]

what if a new player joins the game 6 months in and a huge metropolis has been established near the starter zone, wouldn't it be difficult for the new player to find low level mobs to kill without having to travel past high level ones to get to low level ones?

[full badger]

There will still be low level mobs around a metropolis @still helm

[pastel comet]

In order to open support ticket

[still helm]

oh okay cool

i thought every mob upgrades with the node as well

[crystal flax]

@pastel comet You tagged the wrong "wandering" double check before you send anything to anyone

[full badger]

I assume you mean me Boxr?

[pastel comet]

Yes

[unique ice]

How long will alpha one testing be?

[full badger]

You shouldn't need to send me any personal information, just follow the link in the bot message

[full badger]

The current preview is until Sunday

[unique ice]

Thank you!

[random basin]

If anyone knows, is our username that we log in with shown anywhere in game, or is it completely separate?

[full badger]

Your login credentials aren't shared with other users. The character name you choose is different

[random basin]

Awesome, thank you!

[knotty ibex]

im all connected and still cant find the option to download the game some how. am i missing a step? discord etc. all linked with Alpha One, Adventurer

[stable plover]

I'll tag you elsewhere

[ripe hornet]

The launcher is trying to update, but it's really not doing anything, I got lucky at one point and says I got 25% progress done but it's been stuck there for over an hour. I've even restarted my computer for no results. Is this possibly just a server issue?

Ok so how do I go about getting Alpha one in my roles on the forums? I have a kickstarter from like 3 years ago on my account

[crystal beacon]

Will character equipment screen feature a Paper doll or a 3d model of our character instead of just the... art that currently is present?

[plucky pawn]

follow the steps above!

[ripe hornet]

Honestly the instructions do not say how to rectify an issue if you have no access to the Alpha one forums, it just says how to confirm you have it. Anyways, I have submitted a request and I'll leave it at that.

[magic shale]

@ripe hornet Out of curiosity, did you have Alpha 1 in your 'inventory' on your dashboard account page?

[ripe hornet]

I guess not but I have had access to the Alpha's up to now and it was the reason I bought this package was to get into the alpha's.

[plucky pawn]

please DM me a link to your forum profile

[magic shale]

ah, yeah i looked i only have alpha 2 so i thought that might be it.

[ripe hornet]

I spent $500 on a package ages ago to get into these alphas....

[onyx moss]

how to i download if i just got alpha 1?

[trim gyro]

any tips on why Launch Game is greyed out in my launcher after i relogged?

[plucky pawn]

first, follow the steps above to get all connected up and get help in the right place 😄

[trim gyro]

waaaaaay too lazy

[plucky pawn]

in the meantime though, close out of your launcher and close any other launcher processes you have in Task Manager

[stable plover]

Follow the steps above to link your intrepid and discord

[cosmic otter]

Hello, I purchased the package however when I enter the alpha 1 key to download it says key not found. I have connected the intrepid and discord. Am I missing something on this? Thank you

[waxen prism]

hey guys! anyone know of a streamer who's playing a cleric elf on alpha rn?

[onyx moss]

i linked discord, but now im stuck?

[plucky pawn]

you don't need to enter any key, the access is already on your account

it also looks like you haven't connected to the right Discord account

[plucky pawn]

stuck in what way?

[austere vault]

I was just wondering regarding mounts. How extensive is the customization? For example, if this mount has some crazy horns, can I customize those to be for example shorter or longer? Can I make it looks more devilish? Can I change the length of the mane and tail of my horse, etc

[onyx moss]

how to i move on? like to download client.

i might have found it.

[plucky pawn]

I tagged you in the right place with more info 😄

[cosmic otter]

Yes how do I also download client lol

[plucky pawn]

you did not connect the proper Discord account to your Intrepid account

go back through the process, and when you get the Discord prompt, hit "Not you?" and make sure you've logged in with the right Discord account

once you've done that I can help you in the right section 😄

[vernal river]

I have a question but not about the alpha.... but my english isnt the best dont know how to put it ;D

[modest hinge]

Are the preorder bonus's going to be available to everyone, or is it just because it's in alpha? Saw Asmon on two preorder pack mounts which he bought for 500 gold from the mount store, wondering if its going to be that way on release

[vague brook]

hello 🙂 i just upgraded my package and now would like to download the client... but i am not able to find this here... i connected my intrepid and discord account... but i do not find the right section... or maybe i am just blind 🙂

[plucky pawn]

there are mounts temporarily available in game for folks to purchase that are the pre-order items - this is not what it will look like at launch

[modest hinge]

Okay, thanks for the fast reply! 🙂

[plucky pawn]

I've tagged you in the right place to get more help!

[cosmic otter]

Okay, I have connected the intrepid and discord properly this time lol

[vernal river]

So i used a Two-Factor Code for my ashes acc on the Homepage... but i got a new phone i copied everything from the old to the new one but somehow he didnt copied the damn google autenticator and my old phone is now resetet... how im gonna log in now @ the HP ?

[charred nebula]

[full scroll]

Are there no abilities yet created for the Rogue class? I seem to see most of the classes, but there's barely any info on rogues.

[lucid pawn]

[woven vale]

no

[lucid pawn]

when i try to log in it tells me the servers are down

[dusty pier]

[frank hatch]

[stable plover]

Try changing your server from pull down menu next to launch game

[violet fox]

I just tried to reset the game and now it says it is under maintenance 😦

[lucid pawn]

it wont let me log in i cant change the server

[violet fox]

the error is coming up at the enter username and password screen

ok i just spammed the launch button and then it just worked

[lucid pawn]

it worked for me as well

[frank hatch]

I just closed and reopened the launcher and it's working for me

[violet fox]

Nice! Good stuff!

[cinder imp]

anyone know how to dismount

[calm rover]

How do you even get a mount?

[marble helm]

Stuck here when I clicked the email that said download...

[cinder imp]

stablemaster in towns

[plucky pawn]

friends please make sure you're asking Alpha-related questions in our specific channels to do so

[ashen fossil]

Are any of the listed servers valid for testing?

[crystal beacon]

Is there a way to check what names have been reserved?

[crystal flax]

Reservations haven't happened yet

[woven vale]

Reservations haven't happened.

[crystal beacon]

So names in the current alpha one wont be kept until name reservations start?...when will name reservations start?

[woven vale]

Your characters won't exist on release.

Name reservations are only for release.

[crystal beacon]

Cool, thanks

[tender hearth]

Ashes of Creation 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.

[cosmic vigil]

Has the timeline for alpha 2 been updated?

[crystal beacon]

I'm getting an error when I try to install the client but it doesn't seem to tell me anything about why I got the error

[woven vale]

Nope

[crystal beacon]

Tried repairing just in case, but still getting this error

When can we get the ashes of creation OST? I am really enjoying the background music

I will tag you down in the right channels to get help

[potent stream]

Hi, I bought a Braver of Worlds summer pre-order pack but it is not applied on my forums account. Can someone help with this issue, please?

[bitter robin]

Can we also do Guild Name reservations?

[plucky pawn]

please DM me a link to your forum profile

[bitter robin]

Also, is the referral key locked right now? It won't generate a code. Is that because the game hasn't fully launched yet?

[plucky pawn]

you should be able to generate one referral key. if not, please reach out to our support team directly

[craggy gate]

My biggest thing is wondering, can I just craft from level 1 and do nothing else. Like I'd want to open up a shop and just make items for players without having to quest or grind on mobs.

[tacit prairie]

How do you leave party?

[bitter robin]

A couple refreshes did the trick!

[wet dome]

how do you Establish a crossroads

[crystal beacon]

are ranger classes going to be available during alpha?

[stuck panther]

How do I get help from a GM to get me back on top of the world when the unstuck command is not working?

[plucky pawn]

shout in /global for help, also please ask in our Alpha channels!

[stuck panther]

I did

[cyan crystal]

Will there be a option to set group rules like ( cant leave group/raid while incombat) or (can leave whenever) ?

[remote osprey]

Is someone from Intrepid like babysitting Asmongold on stream or something? 😄 Cuz I've seen global announcements answer his questions from time to time

[tight gale]

Yeah. 😉

[cyan crystal]

Yeah i think thats the overlord god Steven to

[tight gale]

We are assisting a few folks.

[remote osprey]

so cool not for those doing the babysitting I guess though

[tight gale]

It's fun for us to see folks in our game! 🤗

[deep pawn]

❤️

Does Asmon have a flying mount?

[cyan crystal]

Can he get one for testing purposes

[burnt wren]

Can you buy gametime with Embers? considering buying a pre-order pack, but not usually interrested in cosmetics, if I could use the value in embers for gametime, then it is much more valuable in my eyes

[cyan crystal]

Whos the person on the flying mount on asmongolds stream?

[rapid lichen]

What is the turnaround on alpha testing? If i were to upgrade now, would I be able to install it once my discord account is connected? or is there a wait process

[stable plover]

can start installing once discord is connected - it's a mainly automated process as long as nothing goes wrong

[rapid lichen]

okay tyvm

[stable plover]

Embers can't buy gametime, only cosmetic stuff

[glad thistle]

is the alpha 1 map going to the final world map?

[stable plover]

final world map will be about 5x bigger, and there will be adjustments to existing A1 map, but basically

[glad thistle]

oh sweet thanks~

that sounds awesome

[crystal beacon]

is it the same launcher as the pre-alpha?

[stable plover]

If you have a launcher older than a month you should basically definitely uninstall everything and do a fresh install

[crystal beacon]

okay

[regal juniper]

Will there be class related traps/explosives? Predator for example, perhaps setting mines or a net

[stable plover]

Ranger had traps last we saw

[regal juniper]

On the wiki i saw a bear trap?

[upbeat blaze]

are there servers which are only pve?

or do they simply not have it active atm

[tight gale]

Not currently. All servers are PvX.

We may disabled PvP on servers for a short period of time, depending on what we are testing.

[proud parrot]

Hello, excuse me, a friend ask for my referral code but in my intrepid account i don't see it, there is a blank

Will you be able to fish from boats?

[heavy vigil]

quick question: is buying one of the pre-launch packages that includes an alpha key the only method to get onto the alpha or are keys being given out in a lottery system as well?

[plucky pawn]

that's the only way for the time being! there are no giveaways currently active for Alpha keys

[edgy pendant]

Thank you i had to submit an email to support because i don't have the long number unfortunately

[thick snow]

is there somewhere I can see the features present in this alpha vs. what's planned for future versions?

like a roadmap or something

[uneven galleon]

i have a question not sure if there's an answer but is there an edgier pre order bundle coming in the next few months been saving up but the past few ones i haven't been interested in im hoping something like the march 2020 bundle will show up

[plucky pawn]

kk, they'll be able to help ya out!

[stable plover]

The wiki has a list of when some things are supposed to come online, like https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Alpha-2 lists things expected for A2 - Some of the timeline quotes might be from quite a while ago.

[plucky pawn]

we typically debut the next set the day before they swap over, so keep an eye out for upcoming sets you may like a bit better!

[violet axle]

sry if i missed this but i cant figure out how to download the game :/ purchased the pre order but im lost

[plucky pawn]

follow the steps above to get more info here on Discord!

[violet axle]

[feral salmon]

Just curious, what’s the download size of the current alpha one preview?

[pearl robin]

[humble trout]

they are up

[violet axle]

one more question, the summer purchases i made last year, i have never been able to redeem them. will i have everything already in game? or is it the (redeem a key) not working

[stable plover]

If your missing something from your account inventory you should fill out a support ticket

[crystal beacon]

[worn wagon]

yes

[broken island]

I am having issues logging in on the forums page. Every time i click on the sign in button all i get is a white screen.

[plucky pawn]

what happens if you try another browser?

[plucky pawn]

yep!

[pearl robin]

it tells me servers are currently down 😦

[plucky pawn]

if you purchased last summer, no need to redeem anything - they're already on your account!

[broken island]

I am not sure, i was just about to try that.

[plucky pawn]

just tagged you in the right place for more troubleshooting 😄

[plucky pawn]

you can check what's in your inventory by following these steps: https://support.ashesofcreation.com/hc/en-us/articles/360034774733-Where-do-I-view-my-Kickstarter-and-other-purchased-items-

thank you 🙂

[broken island]

Do you know if there is a preferred browser to use?

[plucky pawn]

it works okay for me in Chrome! if you get a chance, pls DM me the issue you're having more specifically

[weary pendant]

I click the link to go to support.ashesofcreation.com and I get a white screen which says enter email address to complete your profile. I do that then it asks for my PW and says invalid. I already have my account, it migrated it from the old system to new. Nothing is working not sure what to do at this point. I am a Braver of Worlds backer fyi. That is not showing up in my profile either. There is no option if you forget PW. says Your email address matches an existing profile. Please enter your PW so we can link your profiles.

[rigid rose]

are you using your forum profile name for your username?

[weary pendant]

Yes

[spiral jay]

it was emailed out, it's on the forums, and here on Discord!

Hey there. It's been awhile since I've looked at this game as it's been on the back burner while I have been playing other games. I'm a backer from the kick starter but I don't seem to have an account any more is there someone who can help me with this?

[plucky pawn]

Did you ever redeem your Kickstarter code on an Intrepid account?

[rain tartan]

hi, i buy the pack U$ 500,00 but i cant download the game

how i can make the download? where is the launcher?

[heavy lagoon]

Check the info above

From ModBot

[plucky pawn]

follow the steps in the ModBot message above to get connected and see more info!

[sleek sky]

is there going to be any giveaways?

[bright grail]

I do not think so?

it has been a few years

and I've looked through all my emails and see nothing about a code

[sleek sky]

go it thanks

[heavy lagoon]

Did you get in during kickstarter?

[plucky pawn]

it would have been an email from Kickstarter back in 2017 I believe, for your code - do you know if you ever redeemed it on an Intrepid account?

[rain tartan]

estou em um loop infinito. faço login, sigo os passos, tento me registrar no forum. sou redirecionado pra outra pagina. que nao reconhece minha senha e login.

[bright grail]

what would have been the sender of the email? kickstarter intrepid or ashes of creation?

[plucky pawn]

you need to set your forum display name - follow these steps: https://support.ashesofcreation.com/hc/en-us/articles/360034793413-How-do-I-change-my-forum-display-name-

[rain tartan]

As you can see I'm already logged in to the site

[plucky pawn]

yes, go to your profile settings, and insert a forum display name and save it

[rain tartan]

ok

[plucky pawn]

for Kickstarter stuff I believe it would have also come from intrepidstudios

if you have any issues finding it, you can reach out to our support team

[bright grail]

ok I did I password reset and apparently my account was in the old system and its letting me migrate it

[rain tartan]

Margaret, thank you.

I managed to login to the forum, but I still can't understand how to download the launcher

[warped lintel]

Im downloading the newest build on the launcher client! How long did it take everyone to download the game? I am averaging around 35 mb/s

[rain tartan]

Margaret, thank you.

I managed to login to the forum, but I still can't understand how to download the launcher

[rain tartan]

Margaret, thank you.

I managed to login to the forum, but I still can't understand how to download the launcher

there is an orange banner at the top with more info

I've done this. and already connected my discord as you can see. But no link to Launcher has come yet.

I've tagged you in the right place to get more info 😄 also you'll likely want to remove that screenshot as it includes some of your personal account info

[rain tartan]

[bright grail]

ok it said the migration worked. but the login screen it brought me to won't let me log in o.o

[rain tartan]

Sorry, now that I understand you had something set for me. I removed the images immediately without noticing it.

How do I download Launcher?

[plucky pawn]

I tagged you again with the info in the right place!

[rain tartan]

I'll send you the image again, since once I've removed the image I can't see the markup you made in the disagreement.

please check back for me.

I have to translate what you write and it takes a while. forgiveness.

@pallid wolf Hi friend. Please follow the instructions below to link your accounts and get the extra channels for the test so we can help you more

Hey, its Alpha 1

[alpine ridge]

Are there support on here, or is email/zendesk the way to go for missing purchases?

[plucky pawn]

please open a CS ticket at the link above!

[alpine ridge]

Already done, it's just been a while so I wondered! I'm sure you guys are swamped tho, nbd

[plucky pawn]

yup the team is working as fast as they can to get through tickets, we've definitely got a higher volume than usual due to testing!

[ashen dew]

Where can I find the install for the most updated launcher? Haven't logged in since 2018, I already bought the adventurer pack and transferred my account to the new website

[golden glacier]

Is there an issue with the Kat server? Stuck on the loading screen after hitting play

Sorry, not Kal. Nimaneer server

[full badger]

No reports of problems so far, try restarting both the launcher and client

[jade talon]

Is the 2-3 year release estimate purely community speculation or something the company has suggested?

[plucky pawn]

we haven't released any official timelines or dates at this time

[jade talon]

Thank you very much for the quick reply!

[dusty cloud]

Si I followed the instruction here: https://support.ashesofcreation.com/hc/en-us/articles/1500009851702 but I can't manage to make it work. I just want to download the game.

[full badger]

@dusty cloud are you able to login to the forums?

[dusty cloud]

yes

[full badger]

Ok, please try logging out of the forums, refresh (ctrl F5) and then log back in

(I assume you have an alpha 1 pack)

[dusty cloud]

Oh yeah it worked. thanks.

[full badger]

👍

[dusty cloud]

Well, it's not my night hahaha. I guess I'll play tomorrow.

[full badger]

@dusty cloud the team is investigating

[frank coral]

wheres the alpha schedule

are we supposed to be playing rn?

ty

[full badger]

@frank coral yes, the alpha preview is this weekend!

[plucky hazel]

My launcher is saying the servers are down.

[frank coral]

my ;auncher says survers are down as well

wow i should elarn how to spell

[crystal beacon]

Same

There was an issue but it should be resolved. Close all the launcher tasks and try again

[wispy ocean]

Hey all, can someone hit me with a timestamp on the asmongold allcraft discussion?

[full badger]

#community-media message

[wispy ocean]

perfect, thanks!

[glacial epoch]

dang it i've been trying to update this all day and now it won't let me log into the launcher anymore 😦

[full badger]

@glacial epoch please follow the instructions linked below to connect your accounts and get up to date info

There is currently an issue with the launcher, the team is investigating

[cedar herald]

Is there going to be a wipe after each alpha and beta until launch or will there be a carry over at some point?

[full badger]

You can expect there to be regular server wipes throughout the testing phases

[spiral cape]

Any info on if next months per order packs expeditionary level will have both the beta 1 and 2 keys like this month?

[plucky pawn]

we haven't announced any changes to the contents of those packs at this time!

[spiral cape]

Oke thanks 🙂

[winter ibex]

Anyone else finding it impossible to update the launcher? I've been trying all day and it always loses connection. My internet is connected perfectly otherwise so kinda bummed

[full badger]

Do you use a VPN or anti-virus that could be stopping the launcher?

[dusk flare]

@winter ibex i had an issue, but i uninstalled and started from scratch instead of updating and it was much quicker. but that's just what worked for me.

[fast owl]

So is there a ETA for beta access

Bc 75$ order says i get access to beta access

[fluid needle]

only dates we have are alpha 1

[fast owl]

[fluid needle]

!a1

[fast owl]

So beta is far off?

[fluid needle]

yes

[fast owl]

i wish i knew before i purchased

[fluid needle]

minimum estimate is around 2-3 years

[fast owl]

there goes 75$...

Is there a way to refund?

[fluid needle]

you should be able to get a refund

[fast owl]

where

[full badger]

https://support.ashesofcreation.com/hc/en-us/articles/360018517854-What-is-the-refund-policy-

[fast owl]

is the ticket Login seperate from the login on the preorder webiste/

cause im using the same info and its not logging me in

[plucky pawn]

yes, it's different, but no need to log in to submit a ticket

you can submit one as a guest from the button in the top right

[fast owl]

So would it be the 1st or 3rd

[west pond]

3rd

[plucky pawn]

3rd, and then you can select refund after that

[fast owl]

where do i get order#

is it website or email

[plucky pawn]

it would have been included in the email receipt you received

[fast owl]

Is it User:

its like a mix of letters and numbers

theres no order# area

Oh transaction number

[plucky pawn]

that's the one!

[fast owl]

[hollow sierra]

I'm having an issue with one of my characters being stuck and not being able to move even when I use the unstuck command. Is there any one that may be able to help me

[full badger]

try relogging

[hollow sierra]

already did and tried resigning in 2 times

its character specific

created a new char on same server and can move fine

[full badger]

Also, you should link your accounts to discord to get more help for the tests

[simple pecan]

Toast, it's 9:00 p.m. PST. You're off the clock! Take a break!

[plucky pawn]

your character might be stuck in a bad state, can try pinging in /global for help from a GM but if relogging both launcher and client don't work, fresh character may be the best option

[plucky pawn]

I'm on party duty til 2AM 😄

@plucky pawn Having XP Debt take forever to work off when quest mobs are bugged is a bit raw end of the deal especially if quest mob is at 0HP and doesnt die 🙂

been trying to work off 43% XP debt for a long while now

[plucky pawn]

XP Debt should be disabled for this test - please let us know what you did to accumulate it, as that's a bug!

is this Jermaine by chance?

[marsh lynx]

Indeed

im down from 43% debt to 30% debt, and not an ounce of XP gained

[plucky pawn]

kk yup team is tracking down a wily XP debt bug with that now, ty!

[marsh lynx]

thanks...trying my best to level but debt is quite pesky

I turned in another 8k XP quest and just disappeared in ether, i figure its some bug between debt and gain

[vale osprey]

this game should of told u to need to pay 375 bucks for the alpha game

[marsh lynx]

It did 🙂

Id also suggest that that crafting a sword / crafting a wand quest at starting zone award more xp...65xp reawrd is a disheartening for amount of time spent tracking down lumber @plucky pawn

@vale osprey nobody is forcing you to buy into Ashes right now. If you believe it's not worth it, request a refund and wait for the proper time 🙂

[simple pecan]

As a quick note, the game doesn't cost hundreds. It's the alpha access, game time, cosmetics, embers, etc that you pay for. You can come back at release to pay only a small subscription.

it like a wow clone anyways

Is there plans to change the Adventure cosmetics before the end of Alpha1?

[plucky pawn]

yes, this set will rotate out on August 4th, as noted in the post here: #news message

[desert ivy]

You should share some then

[plucky pawn]

sir this channel is for questions only

[desert ivy]

[worthy vapor]

Anyway to select one, I've been waiting for the right one that matches "me" unfortunately the one that did I missed

[full badger]

Once the cosmetics rotate out, they don't ever return, sorry.

[plucky pawn]

once they're gone from the shop they're gone for good!

[naive sable]

Will the game get wiped before july 14

or will it continue

[faint lake]

It will wipe after this weekend for the July 14th Alpha Playthough month

Then it will wipe again once the Alpha month is over

[west ridge]

Ik how you feel. I missed the frog mount/caravan and frog pet. BUT have faith they will bring another cosmetic pack with a frog, they already did 2. What’s one more

[faint lake]

Basically expect lots of wipes during testing whether that be Alphas or Betas 😄

[slate palm]

Is there some kind of unstuck command?

[faint lake]

cntr T

[slate palm]

Ah nice, ty

Is there any info on when to expect rogue skills?

what's the issue you're having in particular? your roles look correct here!

[acoustic spade]

Im trying to craft my first wand but i keep losing most my resource progression for some reason, does dying drop materials?

[crystal beacon]

@plucky pawn Hi, ty! I'm not seeing anything related to the launcher nor an email for it in my dashboard/account area.

[faint lake]

Yes, if you die you lose a % of gathered materials. Completed gear however will not drop as long as you are not corrupt

[plucky pawn]

just tagged you in the right place to get more info

[faint lake]

(Although im not sure if the material loss is in Alpha atm)

[sullen bay]

(Thought it was better to ask here) with the release of A1 is there now a definitive release schedule for A2 through beta? Or is it still a more fluid schedule depending upon testing results?

[plucky pawn]

yep, dying drops a portion of your inventory

[plucky pawn]

we haven't announced any dates other than our upcoming testing yet!

[frank knot]

any ideas on how to force myself out of combat mode?

[acoustic spade]

thank you, ill play a little more safe

[sullen bay]

@plucky pawn thanks!!

[plucky pawn]

relog

[upbeat galleon]

Are you able to get a refund on the 500$ if you are unable to play the game on your machine?

[plucky pawn]

what's the issue you're having in particular, perhaps we can help solve it for ya?

[upbeat galleon]

I haven't purchased yet. But my laptop isn't the most powerful. My thought is if the game is less-optimized to the point where I can't test, if I can refund and purchase a lower package for a future test build that I might have better luck with

Just that 500$ is a lot to commit if I don't have an option in the worst case scenario

[plucky pawn]

you can get an idea for how you may be able to test based on our current recommendations here: https://support.ashesofcreation.com/hc/en-us/articles/360048506033-What-are-the-minimum-requirements-for-Alpha-

as it stands using any portion of your pack (including test access) means it can't be refunded, though I would always recommend reaching out to our support team so they can assist you further 😄

[dusty verge]

i was just about to ask the download size and u answered that with that link! 🙂 ty

[velvet prawn]

so how to play the game once you bought the 500$ pack?

[desert ivy]

Do that

You'll get access to the Alpha 1 channels on Discord, can find the launcher download there

[sullen bay]

I know that Intrpud have been continously hiring more staff and developers over the past like 6 months, will this have a "noticable" impact on the launch date? (Sorry of this is a dumb question?

Intrepid**

[stable plover]

There's not any sort of officially announced Launch date from Intrepid so even if it does affect the launch date (and hiring or lack thereof would) we won't really know much of the details

[sullen bay]

@stable plover thanks for clearing that up!

[velvet prawn]

@desert ivyty

[acoustic spade]

is there anyway to track a certain resource in the world, i dont really find much walking around looking

[stable plover]

I think resources do show up on minimap but not particularly noticeable, I think winstead node / close to spawn tend to have the most clustered trees, big sea area has most fishing nodes

[sharp linden]

Is there an invert mouse option or work around? I'm freaking out because I assumed this wouldn't be an issue. Even if it is added later, I just bought the alpha @ 500 for nothing.....

[plucky pawn]

not at this moment, unless there's one you may be able to adjust in your mouse software!

[sharp linden]

yikes, now for the scary refund battle

[west ridge]

Don’t think you can refund it tho

And you shouldn’t, it’s good game so far for alpha1

[sharp linden]

I get that, I want to love it, but there must be an exception when it's unplayable to some. No invert for me is like a car without a steering wheel.

[west ridge]

Yeah but it clearly stated donot buy if you want to play. Buy if you want to test

[sharp linden]

I want to test it, but I cant

[west ridge]

Try adjusting it in your mouse software like toast suggested

[cosmic fjord]

hello, i purchased the voyager pack a while back, and cant participate in this alpha1 😦 is it eligible for alpha 2 or something? i remember it said i will be able to play some alpha testing...

sorry for the waste of time
but thanks for helping
have a nice day 🙂

If i have purchased a pack, should it be showing it on my account dashboard? I backed the game back in kickstarter and played some of the AOC battle royal they released before it was out for free. I just can't see anything on my account details.

[faint lake]

If you are a kick-starter backer you should have access to Alpha 1

Follow these steps to link your account

[mild schooner]

I don't think i do. I backed with the 150 dollar founder pack which had alpha 2 access i believe.

[plucky pawn]

you should be able to follow the steps here to see what's in your inventory: https://support.ashesofcreation.com/hc/en-us/articles/360034774733-Where-do-I-view-my-Kickstarter-and-other-purchased-items-

[mild schooner]

Sweeping Arrowhead Sweeping Arrowhead Bundle Sweeping Arrowhead Crashing Waves Crashing Waves Bundle Crashing Waves is what i see. should there be something to the effect of founder pack? I filtered through Old emails and foundthe kickstarter code and tried to redeem it just i incase i ihadn't already. But then i remembered im pretty sure i would have had to redeem it to play the initial battle royal game.

[crystal beacon]

but can i see them as images somewhere as well? i can just see the names of the packages but not the skins they belong to

[plucky pawn]

you would not have had to redeem it in order to play battle royale - so it sounds like you may not have redeemd it yet

[mild schooner]

Hmm. well i tried to redeem it and it says it couldn't find the code. Sounds like something i'll have to open a ticket for 🙂

[plucky pawn]

this isn't available in your inventory quite yet, but is planned for future iterations of the site!

[plucky pawn]

yupyup, our support team would be able to better help!

[crystal beacon]

ok ty 🙂

where can i get the client?

i dont seem to figure out

can you DM me a screenshot of the error you're getting please?

just wanted to double check i think i found this list from google 😄

did you follow the steps above in order?

here i'll share them again

[fading needle]

thanks sorry to be a pain

[plucky pawn]

@solemn gorge check out the steps above!

[west ridge]

Damnnn toast working hard with all the new ppl hopping into alpha1 cus of the streamers

[fallow veldt]

kinda sad to see that people spend the 500$ just to play the alpha

[cyan crystal]

How many Na/european/asia ect servers will each region have at launch? Will they have “pvp” “rp” ?

[fallow veldt]

pretty sure there wont be pvp and rp dedicated servers

only one server type

i think?

[plucky pawn]

we haven't announced server number specifics, and all servers will have the same ruleset!

[flat apex]

Is silk in the game currently?if so where can it be found? @plucky pawn

[plucky pawn]

just tagged ya down in the alpha sections

[mental cliff]

Does the 75 dollar package get you access to the alpha?

[tranquil willow]

No, you need the 500 one

[mental cliff]

Ah okay! :)

[night furnace]

I am planning to get the game right now but I have a one question does BETA have full wipe too?

[ruby swift]

Yes, all phases have multiple wipes.

And there will be a final wipe before launch.

[night furnace]

I see.

[ruby swift]

No p2w ever. And early access is p2w.

[grim shard]

[thorny idol]

Any news on when they'll invite content creators to the alpha?

I don't think I've heard any news on when the program will start

since the NDA is already down

[tight gale]

Latest info on Content Creator Program is here: https://forums.ashesofcreation.com/discussion/comment/299596/#Comment_299596

We have not flagged folks as official Content Creators yet. 😉

[thorny idol]

Hey Margaret, thanks, I'll read that up immediately 🙂

Do you guys have an automatic filter/way to look at the submissions from say average viewers/size

otherwise, I imagine going through 10k+ submissions one by one would take forever

[tight gale]

We will give everyone equal love. 🧡

So yes, we will be taking our time to look at every submission because it is not about numbers - it's about quality.

[thorny idol]

Alright, thanks 🙂

I guess I'll just have to wait then

I'd love to pay for the alpha, but can't justify 500 if it's not my main game that I'm streaming

[west ridge]

I would pay 500$ but my brain is so big I decided to get alpha2 and just use the rest of the money on cosmetics for each month if they’re good

[tight gale]

Let's keep discussion / chat in other channels and leave this open for questions. 😉

[west ridge]

Are all archetypes being shown before alpha1 ends?

[tight gale]

Nope. Alpha One will showcase Tank, Cleric and Mage Archetypes.

[west ridge]

What about alpha2?

Or is it not decided yet

[tight gale]

We have not announced everything that will be in Alpha Two, but when we do, you'll be sure we'll post it to our official news channels as per usual. 😉

[burnt mist]

So before I forget to ask this; For the Bow combat style will there be some kind of ammo system implemented that we have to keep watch on, or will we have arrow "types" to pick from? Such as Barbed Arrows that apply a bleed effect, poison arrows, paralysis arrows, incendiary arrows, and more things of the like? Or will those be tied to weapon skills to activate?

[ruby swift]

No ammo is planned

All archetypes abilities use mana.

[west ridge]

Do they plan on changing that? Tank using mana doesnt really make sense

[ruby swift]

No, so far they have announced no intention for other resource pools like stamina. There is a quote as to why. Give me a sec and I will try to find it for you.

Here you go.

Is the alpha running 24 hours this weekend? Or does it have start and stop times?

[tight gale]

Hehe. Never lonely in an MMO.

🤗

[north tide]

Will we be able to choose surnames for our characters? (:

[deep pawn]

Yes

[tight gale]

We will have more customization for the UI as we get further along with our development.

[pale aspen]

@tight gale That's nice to hear! :)
I really need my HP at the bottom center to focus on

[deep pawn]

Questions only mah duudes, that's a topic I'd love for us to discuss in #aoc-discussion

[slow fiber]

When the game launches, will it be on Steam?

[deep pawn]

Nope

[tight gale]

We do not currently have plans to be on Steam.

[worthy olive]

Will the game have an in depth story line like FFXIV does?

[open crag]

Anyone know a streamer that reads quests?

[mental cliff]

Esfand

Rich Campbell, Asmongold

[west ridge]

Asmongold

[cinder light]

how long will the alpha be up ?

[west ridge]

jully 11th

[cinder light]

ah i see

[prisma gyro]

I have a question, when the player siethe / unsiethe their weapons, are they visible?

[grim breach]

Soon

[prisma gyro]

I saw yesterday that after combat the player did not have weapons

[grim breach]

Or later. We don't know when but that's the plan.

[prisma gyro]

That's good

[grim breach]

It's not the priority right now, that's all.

[tight gale]

Not a way to do that currently. 🤗

[prisma gyro]

Ok I'm curious to see the final product, because in the streaming yesterday I saw a lot of problems, I wish the best for that game

[tight gale]

Yeah, the game is not done homie. We are just heading into Alpha One. hehe.

[twilit karma]

Will the actual alpha one have more content than the preview weekend?

[tight gale]

Alpha One is not about content, so there won't be too many changes from the preview.

[twilit karma]

thanks was wondering

[tight gale]

NP!

[sick ore]

does anyone know, how to get silk and hardened leather ingame?

[ornate canopy]

Should being in a raid prevent quest kill progression?

[tight gale]

It shouldn't, but if it is - please report it as a bug.

[tight gale]

Those are both not in-game at the moment.

[sick ore]

ok, thank you.

[ornate canopy]

np thanks!

[kind oasis]

What would be the main focus of testing for alpha 2?

[marble basin]

That depends on the outcome of alpha 1

[thorny idol]

is it possible to buy the alpha 1 for someone?

No gifting at the moment.

its fixed but thanks

[frozen saddle]

i cant see that chat

[open crag]

Nvm found him lol XD

[deep pawn]

You need to set your role on the discord by linking accounts

[pulsar wharf]

The map is great, I spotted several sites for a good placement for freeholds. I wonder if a single freehold will be owned by one person or can it be owned by one family?

[tight gale]

Single person.

[frozen saddle]

the character that i have made today will i keep it till next testing period ?

[tranquil willow]

Character wipes are very common, so probably not.

[frozen saddle]

okey

[tight gale]

It will get wiped most likely.

[lunar vessel]

!a2info

[tight gale]

Info on Alpha 2 has not been released yet homie. Let us get through ALpha One first. 😉

[green quail]

how do i get into alpha if i purchased the correct package? its a bit confusing for me

[severe lily]

would it be possible to ever see a Druid class in Ashes? :3

asking for furry friend

[sly monolith]

we need a video channel for posting vids

[past lantern]

If I have already bought into alpha 2, is there a discount to get into alpha one?

[lunar vessel]

Is there a expected release date, or that info isn't public

[tight gale]

We have not announced a release date yet.

When it's ready. 😉

[lunar vessel]

Assumed so

[hollow flint]

am to stupid to look all over forums and stuff to find a date for giveaways

and how to enter

[tight gale]

We have not announced any giveaways.

You can keep an eye on our official news and social if we ever do any.

[hollow flint]

so there is no other way to get a key except giving 500$

[tight gale]

Currently, you can only purchase an Adventurer Pre-Order Package to gain access.

[hollow flint]

thanks for the info very kind of you 🙂

[past lantern]

Or if I buy the alpha one can I give the alpha 2 key I already bought to a friend atleast?

[wheat dock]

So i tried to log in into my account and i need to write "2-Factor Authorization Code" but its not getting sent to my email? please dont tell me its another code i had to save

[opal breach]

pre-order pack items are tied to account

[past lantern]

Is there a discount to get alpha one if I already have alpha 2 then?

[grim breach]

Yes

You only pay the difference

You don't pay the full price

[past lantern]

kk can you link it to me by anychance the page?

[grim breach]

If you have Voyager Plus (375), you only need to pay 125 USD to upgrade to Adventurer

[past lantern]

thanks!

[tranquil oak]

Name Reservation will be active much later I assume, right? Only asking because some names will probably get reserved quickly.

[grim breach]

@past lantern Go to the Shop and you'll see "Upgrade to XXX" packages.

[past lantern]

bought it, thank you again!

[undone vapor]

If you upgrade does it take a minute to be able to download? I just upgraded to adventurer as well.

[grim breach]

Correct. Probably closer to launch. You reserve name only on one server, not the for every server. Name Reservations also gives priority to highest backer to the lowest PO pack that have it.

[grim breach]

Depends on your internet speed and the servers.

[real yew]

Why am i walking slow? I only have 10 shards in my backpack

[tranquil willow]

It is probably a bug, since there is no wight limit as far as I know

[real yew]

hmm ok

[tranquil willow]

Try to report it

[tight gale]

It's a bug. Report it and either you have to die or restart to fix it. hugs

[untold dawn]

a relog worked for me

[calm geyser]

You may have clicked the period key "."

[real yew]

I checked the period "." key, that makes me even slower. I'll relog, its probably a bug.

[tight gale]

Yeah, it's a bug I have seen a few folks encounter - if you can report what you were doing when it happened, that would be helpful for our team. 🤗

[spring dew]

So i logged in and fell through the map and am stuck under there running around. How do I get out?

[real yew]

@tight gale ok thank you!

[tight gale]

NP!

[tight gale]

ctrl+t

[spring dew]

It just moved me a little bit but still under the map

[tight gale]

Move around a bit and try it a few times.

[spring dew]

TY!

[tight gale]

Guessing it worked?

hehe.

[indigo bolt]

How to party up guys?

[tight gale]

Go up to someone, select them and right click - Invite to Party. 🙂

[past pawn]

I wish it was that easy in real life

Instead...it's sooooo socially awkward inviting parents who you don't even know half of their names, to a kids birthday party that is in the same Jiu Jitsu class as theirs

[tight gale]

Please keep this channel for questions - feel free to chat about this in #general-discussion 😉

[dusty cloud]

how do you mount? do I need to redeem my mount somewhere?

[tight gale]

Head to a level 2 node, find the stablemaster and purchase one. You will need gold to do so.

Then right click it in your inventory. "H" to dismount.

[dusty cloud]

Oh! thanks

[tight gale]

NP!

[crystal beacon]

i have a question to the cosmetics, will we be able to colour them or are those colours fixed?

[slow dagger]

Question about future. We will be able to have multiple characters on multiple servers right? Also, will we be able to move a character from 1 server to another?

[tight gale]

Yes, you can have multiple characters on a server.

Currently, we do not plan to allow server transfers to begin with - we want to assess the impact this might have on housing and other systems closer to launch.

[wicked granite]

Is there a way to unstuck a character that fell through the map ?

[hazy orbit]

can anyone help me download the game, i've purchased a wayfairer pack

[still wyvern]

If you want to download and play now in Alpha 1, you need to upgrade to Adventurer Pre-Order package

Otherwise, if you are happy to wait, you will be able to get into Beta Two testing phase.

[hazy orbit]

is that on july 14?

[tight gale]

@hazy orbit I sent you the info in the DM you sent me.

[hazy orbit]

ok ty

not cheap these upgrades lol

[fallow veldt]

wait bounty hunters will only be unlocked if a military node reaches metropolis stage?

wtf

[worn wagon]

no, at lv 4 of a military node

[fallow veldt]

wiki says otherwise

wait

nvm

[rich sphinx]

Will there be any differences in game from the Alpha preview thats happening right now and the Alpha that begins on July 14th?

[slow dagger]

Is there a timeline for betas yet and potential full release? I'm assuming full release would be atleast a full year away, but do we have any actual guesses on approx timing

[still wyvern]

None yet.

We have timeline for Alpha One

For more details.

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Release_schedule

[marsh trout]

Is anyone else having problems running this game?. I have an AMD Radeon 5700xt and the Alpha will max my graphics out and put the temp over 90c instantly then my graphics throttles and I get very low fps. This happens on all settings no performance difference between low and ultra.

[tight gale]

You can submit a support ticket (tech issue one) and they will assist you in order to delve deeper into what the issue could be.

[little zenith]

Where can I find the dates for the beta testing?

[worn wagon]

There are none yet

[little zenith]

Alrighty. Thanks

[tight gale]

People who have Alpha One Access have the information in the private forums. 😉

[humble trout]

dont htink they have beta info

[tight gale]

We have not announced beta dates yet. 🙂

[modern geyser]

is there a rough idea on when alpha 2 will be?

[marsh trout]

Thanks Margaret

[tight gale]

We have not provided that info yet. 😉

Let us get through Alpha One first homie. hehe

[stark wyvern]

It's Alpha Summer. Let's all just bask in the AoC pouring down on us from devs, streamers, etc.

Side note, is the playable area in game an actual part of the map? Or is it just a testing environment that won't be in the released version?

[tawdry swallow]

Is intrepid planning on a 2022 full release?

[pastel terrace]

i mean 2023 ll be good)

[stable plover]

Intrepid hasn't announced a release timeframe, most ppl in the community would think 2022 is too soon

[vital gate]

Holiday 22 seems kinda realistic imo

[tawdry swallow]

There was a time when it was meant to be a 2020 release hahahahaha. Good times. Well, from what I have seen from the Alpha so far, this game and intrepid have earned all the time they need. I am fully invested now.

[vital gate]

23 is a good safety net tho

[fluid barn]

I would love to see the beta stage at that time.

[vital gate]

That’s what I was thinking

Then q2-3 release 23

[pastel terrace]

at 22 it ll be cyberpunk ) no need to rush. Interpid really have earned all the time. just earn more

[limpid girder]

I would guess 2 to 3 years

[deep pawn]

And then you can get the download from the nda channel u can't currently see

[drifting iris]

Hi @idle siren, just one question that I can’t answer and none except you can.
Have you ever played Ragnarok online ? (The old one) if no - please check the characters and what system was used in this game I bet you’d like it, and might be will use something for AoC.

If yes, then the question is: what do you think about their style of hardcore character upgrades (skill points) and even stats usages.

Like you can create more your way related character not like everyone else. (Even if some kind of meta is in place)

Thx.

[tight gale]

Hey bud! If you have feedback regarding certain skills and stats, toss those on the forums! 🙂

[drifting iris]

So no chance that it would be checked here by him?

[tight gale]

He's super busy! So was just giving you a suggestion on how to get your feedback heard! 🤗

[drifting iris]

Thx

[molten jackal]

I'm trying to remember if my Founder's purchase from the Kickstarter had Alpha One Access or not, and I can't seem to find the info that would tell me. I log into my account and my Order History doesn't say anything outside of how much I spent, the date, and it just says "Originator: idc"

[spiral pine]

check your inventory

[molten jackal]

cool. TY @spiral pine It shows Alpha 2 and Beta 1.

[spiral pine]

👍

[still helm]

i understand that the UI that the game currently has is placeholder, but does anyone know what style the aim is? is it going to be a traditional and simplistic design like the ones we usually see in mmos? im only asking because ever since New World came out i liked playing with the idea that i'd get to experience that sort of modern (and kind of addictive) UI structure in a much more promising game like AoC

[glass sun]

I have a question regarding the corruption flowchart. If the player is already corrupted and a Non-combatant decides to attack him, shouldn't the Non-combatant be flagged as a combatant? Otherwise the Corrupted player will be forced to increase his Corruption in self-defence? 🤔

[deep pawn]

That's the price they pay for murdering innocents.

[desert ivy]

I don't think they've stated what the "style" would be, but this is what we know so far
https://ashesofcreation.wiki/User_interface

[white parcel]

As I haven't followed the development super closely: has there been discussion having the mobs feature ARPG-like (e.g. POE) variance in their statistics and abilities, especially when scaled by the associated node? Many times MMO mobs tend to feel very bland loot sacks.

[prime shale]

This may be a stupid question but will servers be up everyday at 11am PDT?

[deep pawn]

Servers are currently down for maintenance but otherwise should be up 24/7 from 9th to 11th, and then again from the 14th to August 13th

[lethal nebula]

Will the current server names be persistent through all the testing phases up to full release or are the names of the servers subject to change?

[deep pawn]

Don't worry they won't be bland by the time the betas role in

[deep pawn]

Dunno bout this one, I'm guessing yes throughout testing for convenience, not sure about launch.
@tight gale

[tight gale]

Names are subject to change, and we will definitely be adding even more servers. 😉

[amber wadi]

@tight gale can i have the info how to fix launcher pls ? it close while i try to dl new patch

[tight gale]

Make sure to ask questions in the Alpha One section. 🙂 I'll send it to ya.

[crystal beacon]

That is how the system is intended to work as of now and makes sense, If you are corrupted from a lot of PvP and a non-combatant decides to kill you there are no down sides for them, only the corrupted individual seeing as they will lose a lot of things (XP, Gear, Etc.) As well as have a skill/stat dampener on while corrupted that will increase with the amount of corruption

[thick plover]

How many days till full wipe?

[deep pawn]

1

[full badger]

answered in the testing channels

[thick plover]

Ok so i can chill and just test stuff

[deep pawn]

Yepp

[marsh trout]

!download

[full badger]

That command only works in the testing channels

[hazy orbit]

does the alpha start on july 14?

[full badger]

@hazy orbit the monthly long alpha 1 test does, yes (see link above)

[hazy orbit]

oh ok so thats why it says i dont have permission im guessing

[full badger]

What pre-order pack do you have?

[hazy orbit]

wayfar pack

[full badger]

Ahh ok. That gives you access to the Beta tests, which are quite a ways away.

If you want to get involved in the current tests, you can upgrade to the Adventurer pack through the store

[hazy orbit]

oh i see ok

am i seeing right 425$ for upgrade lol

[full badger]

That's correct

The base price of the alpha 1 pack is $500, so you pay the difference when upgrading

[hazy orbit]

oh ok

bit pricey i find but i dont make the prices

[fallow veldt]

well youre not supposed to buy it just to play the alpha. its to support the devs and a reward for the people who support the project.

[hazy orbit]

true

[full badger]

The pre-order packs contain far more than just the testing access (click the more info button on the store to see the breakdown). Of course, it's up to you whether you think it's worth investing or not

[pseudo bramble]

Is Beta 1 likely to occur before the end of the year? Or is there going to be a big gap between Alpha and Beta?

[full badger]

Beta definitely won't happen this year

We have alpha 1 tests, then after that comes alpha 2

[hazy orbit]

ok

[full badger]

Then the beta tests

[crystal beacon]

Can we maybe get data how many ppl was on lunch yesterday at all servers? Would be very interesting

[full badger]

We haven't got exact numbers, but it's in the region of thousands of alpha 1 testers @crystal beacon

[sullen bay]

Will there be "updates" in the Alpha, such as more archs and more "content" as the month goes on? I guess what I'm asking is if the Alpha will be static or will it be fluid with things being added in over time?

[twin pelican]

I think this preview alpha is only 3
Days no?

[sullen bay]

Oh yea I wasn't talking about this weekend, I think the full Alpha starts on the 14th

[desert ivy]

There will be a bit of updating in the month long test, but I don't think we'll get more archetypes

They apparently want to get the combat in a better spot before working on the archetypes

[tight gale]

There will not be more content.

We will update to fix bugs though. 🙂

[sullen bay]

@desert ivy thanks dude with all the craziness going on kinda forgot what they were specifically focusing on

@tight gale thanks for the update!

[desert ivy]

They might add some stuff, Steven said the other day that it's possible they add Bows during week 2 ish of the month long test

But he also said that it wasn't a promise and probably wouldn't happen

[weary frigate]

So this may have been asked and is not an alpha question per say i'm just asking it in case i forget to in the future. So we already know that different religions which has different skill augments, along with other systems having different augment rewards. Will we know ahead of time (like ok stage 4 in this religion will give me this tank augment and I want it cause i'm a paladin) what augments we can get or will it be a blind pick? I figured since the game changes so much with the node system it would be impossible to know and almost be spoilery. At the same time it would suck to pick something and spend a month leveling it only to find out thatt the augment you wanted was in another tree/ group/ religion.

[abstract trellis]

usually mmos give u everything u need to know , but on the other hand it might be more fun to explore ourselves

[fallow veldt]

"usually mmos give u everything u need to know"

lol

hilarious

[weary frigate]

yeah i wouldnt want the mystery stomped out but at the same time.. sucks to waste time investment.. id be happy with either way I'm just wondering if they have a current vision for it yet

[near rune]

Hello, I wanna ask a question about one of the starting race in AoC, just carious about the appearance of them, and how my character could possible look. Will the Tulnar race receive something similar to, for example, Argonians from TES or Kobolds from DnD? Yes, I fully known Steven mentioned it long ago before and I read the information in the official AoC wiki about they'r outdated and new concepts. In the old concept(2017) there is probably something similar to lizards/scaly's race that I mentioned, but with the new one (2018) its really hard to say, and tbh it looks like more just a normal 4 or 8 races, but with additional elements from different types of animal. Steven once answered the similar question and said there will be something like kobolds from dnd, so thats why I'm carious. And just wanna make clear, I'm not into fur races and other stuff like that, but full scaly races with lizard faces just looks fucking bad ass. Really can only hope so it will be something like that, instead of just weird looking weeb cat/bunny girls or horn(y) boys.

[full badger]

We don't have a lot of details on how the Tulnar will look right now. Stay tuned in the future for more info on this @near rune

[twin pelican]

I was also wondering if ashes would implement or consider implementing controller support? I know ff14 has amazing controller support and it’d be dope to see in ashes for the people that prefer to play on a gamepad.

[near rune]

@full badger thank you very much for your answer, really appreciate that. So does it mean, the new(2018) concept is still not clear vision of the Tulnar appearence and it could change in the future?

[full badger]

Correct

[near rune]

Thanks a lot again, I will stay tuned for more information about that :)

[gray widget]

When do name reservations come?

[full badger]

We don't have a date for when they start just yet @gray widget

[modern finch]

late to the party. we are now allowed to stream AoC, correct?

[full badger]

yes

[modern finch]

thanks!

[solar arrow]

How do you level up a node? I see Illwind for example on the map but nothing is there when I walk to the icon so I guess I need to level it up some how first. (Resna)

[stable plover]

Can Stream AoC from yesterday/today/tommorows test and the upcoming month long test; no streaming/sharing images from older stuff

[stable plover]

Most basic form, kill a lot of mobs relatively close to the desired node to level (everywhere on the map contributes to some node). The other catch is it needs to be done before the adjacent nodes have already leveled or they can lock it out.

[solar arrow]

ahhh I see! Thank you so much. Is there any way to see if the other ones have been leveled up?

[stable plover]

If your not on for the broadcast msg of when they level, only way to tell is asking/reading other people talking about it leveling (per server) or going there in person. (Currently in the alpha)

[solar arrow]

Okay thank you for your help ^^

[valid girder]

is there a daggers/dual wield in alpha-1? because in wiki says there will be daggers/dual wield in alpha-1.
