Hey there! It looks like a few folks got you some helpful answers above in terms of places we may have already covered some of these topics, and I'd recommend sharing any of your follow-up questions that weren't answered in an upcoming live stream Q&A thread like this one!

As "Question" post types are only enabled in our Support & FAQ forums so that folks can mark when their question is answered, that is likely why if you selected "Ask A Question" it defaulted to this section :smiley: Since ... Read more

Hi there! Throughout our test phases, you can probably expect to see multiple wipes of characters and content, as we continue to roll out new features for testing. At the moment, we haven't announced any plans for you to be able to carry over those types of designs, but you can always keep an eye out for upcoming blog posts on those features for more details as we get closer to having you help us test them!

Hey there!

Hi there! As I don't believe this is a topic we've covered quite specifically before, it may be something you'd like to ask in a Q&A thread for an upcoming live stream! As it stands at the moment, each Intrepid account has its own subscription that you'll use to log in and play.

Hi there! Catching up here and trying to answer a few of your different questions/topics that came up in this thread:

1. Your username is just your login username, and won't necessarily be your character name in-game! Some folks who have early Kickstarter packages or some of the higher-tier packages from our shop have "Name Reservation" included as a perk, which will allow them to reserve an in-game name earlier than others. Other than that, you will likely be creating your character name once you log in and play!

2. In terms of forum categories, at the moment we currently are featuring a few generic topics (such as our General Discussion), and will be splitting those out into more specific categories as we get into having you test our in-game systems, so you can provid... Read more

Hi there! While at the moment we have yet to show off any scythes or scythe-like weapons, I definitely recommend keeping an eye on our social channels and news page as we release more details on classes, weapons, and the like in the lead-up to having you help us test them!

Hi there - as some folks above have suggested, getting involved in a guild that shares your priorities or staying active in your local node could be good ways to help build that sense of community you were looking for!

Hi there - sounds like someone above got you some helpful answers, and in addition, being the first to "tag" will come into play on what percentage damage you need to win out: https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Looting#Loot_tagging

We'll be continuing to share more details on these systems as we get closer to have you helping us test them, so be sure to keep an eye out for future blogs and/or videos on these topics! In the meantime, if there were any more specific questions on crafting you had that weren't covered by the wiki above, I'd recommend bringing them to an upcoming live stream Q&A session so our team can dive in further.

Hi there! As Alluring mentioned above, the lifetime subscription does not currently show up as a separate item in your inventory. However, you should indeed see "Alpha 1" listed as its own separate item - I also note that it appears your forum roles and badges may not have updated accordingly, so please go ahead and reach out to our support team here so we can assist you further: https://ashesofcreation.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
