Your UI relating info to the player needs work.

Courage/Momentum being around the player class icon on the health bar is a neat little thing. Took me 10 HOURS to figure it out though.

For sure, that level of polish and first time user experience will not be in phase 1. But we have plans for it to get some love in phase 2 and 3. Great feedback πŸ’ͺ

Thank you for the feedback my friend <3

We are currently working with our partners at Cloudflare and GCP to employ mitigation strategies. These strategies may result in some users attempting to authenticate into the game client receiving a 'You are banned' message from Cloudflare. This is temporary as we begin to identify and isolate ranges of IPs that are part of the attack. This along with our web and core services team are responding to the attack and will keep testers updated on discord.

Our road tech is quite complicated, as it provides buffs, upgrades visually as nodes develop and can spawn emergently when trading between nodes starts to happen. Right now there are some bugs we will be fixing with them this week.

A sister this time, but very happy to play and even get to help a little with wacking some bugs! I love Alpha's and Betas which are interactive like this and with so many devs and mods that are responsive; it means you see active changes and improvements. Exciting!

Thank you sister!

Our graphics engineers are on the crashes currently. We had 7900 crashes in the 24 hours of opening the servers. We collect the logs and are working to develop fixes. Ty for enduring the testing pain πŸ™

I do not believe we ever said "all" alpha one users would be invited in August. We will be expanding invites to all A1 testers ahead of A2 starting Oct 25th.

Why has no open test been planned yet to stress test systems like nodes against zergs and large co ordinated communities? Both betas are supposedly going to be closed tests too which sounds like a bad idea to leave for launch.

We have been stress testing these systems.

Asking for clarification, does "New Phase 2 keys will consist of week long testing (5 days at a time) beginning December 20th." mean we can expect the 2 days downtime to be Wed/Thurs?

Thanks

That is currently the plan but subject to change.

Earlier on the stream with the demonstration of Server Meshing, you said that all Alpha 1 players will be invited to the spot tests of Alpha 2 in August. Is this still the case?

We have so far invited over 3k Alpha One testers into our spot testing.

Steven, just out of curiosity, would there be any cosmetics we would be able to buy during the Alpha testing or will the cosmetic shop not be available?

It may be possible that during later stages of the Alpha testing, we may want to begin testing the cosmetic marketplace in preparation for launch.

Will purchasable cosmetics be on sale during Alpha 2?

That is not currently planned. However, it may be possible that during later stages of the Alpha testing, we may want to begin testing the cosmetic marketplace in preparation for launch.

Great to see that the new A2 keyholders will have access to the beta servers aswell!

Will there be a way of gifting a key to someone else? Would like to purchase a phase 2 key to my brother for Christmas but it feels off to either give him cash and say "this is for the Ashes of Creation alpha 2" or set an account without him knowing.

I know this might be such a niche "problem" that it isnt worth dealing with, but would be nice to have a way to generate actual keys and a way for someone to redeem said key.

That is not yet a feature we will be supporting in the near future. Sorry my friend.

There absolutely will be. We will conduct giveaways and lotteries when the time is right.

And thank you my friend.

  2. Will there be a certain amount of alpha 2 keys released? First in best dressed...

Thankyou.

  1. Unknown yet, but subject also to demand for those regions.
  2. There are some limited supplies for these phases, but we will give notice for if and when that is reached.
