Hi there! Definitely expect for your progress and characters to be wiped multiple times during Alphas and Betas, and then again prior to launch - since we'll be testing a lot of stuff with your help! I'm not quite sure where you saw that Alpha Two would last for a month (perhaps you were referring to our Alpha One phase), but as of this moment Alpha Two is planned to be our persistent test server: https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Alpha-2

Hiya friends! We'll definitely be expanding and specifying the categories here on the forums as we get closer to having you test particular themes and topics, so you can begin providing your feedback and commentary in the specific sections we designate :smiley: there have already been some great suggestions shared here and in other threads about what categories you'd like to see moving forward! <3

Hi there - if you're asking about how much gear would impact your power level in the game beyond your base abilities/stats, we've shared previously that it will have approximately a 40-50% influence on your overall power in the game: https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Gear

In terms of more specifics, if you'd like to narrow down your question a bit further you can share it in an upcoming Q&A session! Beyond that, particular details on classes and gear will continue to be shared as we progress through our testing phases.

I'm going to go ahead and close this thread out now, but please don't hesitate to reach back out if there's any way we can assist you further!

Hi there! We'll be reaching out to folks directly via email in the lead-up to their corresponding test windows to provide all the details they'll need, so make sure that the contact email on your account is up-to-date if you haven't already! It also looks like your badges and roles for your Kickstarter level might be missing from your forum account, so you can reach out to our support team directly here to get those fixed for you as well: https://ashesofcreation.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

At the moment we haven't announced any plans to remove or retire the items from the Kickstarter packs as you upgrade, but we'll definitely let you know in advance if that's the c... Read more

Hi there - while it looks like unknown might have shared some of the latest potential updates that Steven stated recently regarding the possibility of Alpha One returning in future packs above, we haven't announced anything official in terms of when, where, or how that would occur - stay tuned for more details on that front if we decide to move forward with making Alpha One available again!

I'm going to go ahead and close this thread out now, but please don't hesitate to reach back out if there's anything else we can assist you with in the meantime!

Hi there - from what you're asking, it sounds like you're wondering whether you'll be adding other players to your "friends list" based on their character or their account? As I'm not sure we've answered this quite specifically before, I'd recommend sharing it in a Q&A thread for an upcoming live stream (like this one for example) so that our dev team has a chance to review and dive in further!

I'm going to go ahead and close this thread out now, but please don't hesitate to reach back out if there's any o... Read more

Hi there friend - we did indeed announce a while back that we are working to move away from Xsolla as a payment processor, and will continue to keep you posted on that front as we move forward in the development process!

I'm going to go ahead and close this thread out now, but please don't hesitate to reach back out if there's anything else we can assist you with in the meantime!

Hi there friend - as mentioned above, our Kickstarter ended quite a while back, but you can check out some of the pre-order packs currently available in our Shop if you'd like to join in and support the development process while getting access to some early testing! You can click "View More Info" on any of those packs as well to see a full list of all the goodies they come with.

I'm going to go ahead and close this thread out now, but please don't hesitate to reach back out if there's anything else we can help you with!

Hey there friend - while I can't specifically comment on whether a particular entry would be valid or invalid (as it would be unfair if we did that for some folks and not others), as long as it was clear in your entry that your placard was visible with your name on it, you'll be all set!

I'm going to go ahead and close this thread out now, but please don't hesitate to reach back out if there's anything else we can assist you with in the meantime!

I'm about 99% sure that in some of our previous videos where we're all playing together (either water mounts, or combat, or dungeons), one or more of us has mentioned our previous experience playing GW2.

Many of us have played many many MMOs over the years, and it's awesome to see how the design and development teams are building out the world of Verra with our distinct vision based on what we've learned from our previous gaming encounters!
Comment
Some interesting ideas being brought up here, as well as thoughts around balance. Would love to hear what folks come up with as ideas for potential buildings around other races than Vaelune!

Some folks may also want to remember that we've previously discussed an attrition mechanic around racial influences on nodes, to curb the impact of one racial style dominating the landscape: https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Races#Racial_influence_on_nodes

Hi there - you can check out where we've discussed our plans regarding Steam before in our helpful knowledge base article here: https://ashesofcreation.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360034428993-Will-Ashes-of-Creation-MMORPG-be-on-Steam-

Heya friends! At the moment we currently have support on our Discord and forums for the languages and regions we plan to support in-game, which can be found in our helpful knowledge base articles below:

https://ashesofcreation.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360016194714-What-languages-will-Ashes-of-Creation-be-in-
https://ashesofcreation.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360016194674-Where-will-your-servers-be-

That being said, we know some folks have spun up some unofficial communities for other languages outside of those we currently run officially! We'll also be continuing to update the articles above as our plans may change regarding languages and regions in the lea... Read more


Glorious Ashes Community!

For this upcoming stream, we'd love to gather some questions from you to answer live! Please submit your question for our development team in the thread below, and we'll sel... Read more

Hiya! We've talked a bit before on some of our previous live streams and the like about how organizations within a node (such as the bounty hunter system) will have a progression path that you can take to both increase your abilities and potentially unlock some additional in-node benefits: https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Bounty_hunters

While those benefits could serve a practical purpose, there's always something to be said for the ability to "show off" your achievements as well in a physical sense - so I like reading more when folks share ideas for what that might look like in the context of certain systems! :smiley:
Comment
Definitely seeing a lot of great comments on both sides here for what level of "hand-holding" folks might prefer - keep those suggestions coming!

Personally I like to see a more minimal/simple UI that's intuitive to pick up without too much extra explanation; that and definitely having some "options" in place for the amount of introduction you would like to the world.

I typically go for fashion over form (gotta look good to play good, right? right???) so um...whatever set has the most skulls on it. Like lots and lots of skulls. I can think of a few from WoW in particular (mostly involving comically large pauldrons) that fit this description!

4 out of 5 solid Stevens is what I rate this



I'd give these 9 out of 10 sandals, take it or leave it.

Keep 'em coming ;)

There are certainly some interesting ideas for a lore-based approach on that front, and I love the brainstorming so far! Perhaps you younglings returning to Verra simply lack the seafaring technology to reach beyond the depths...yet ;)
