Betas
The Beta-1 and Beta-2 testing phases of Ashes of Creation will be short.[1]
- Content wise, beta will have nearly everything release will have.[3] – Steven Sharif
- Bear McCreary's music will be unveiled in Beta-1.[4]
- Tipos de nodo will be definitive (finalized).[5]
- A first-time user experience system is expected to be implemented during the beta testing phase.[6]
- Beta testing of Ashes of Creation will be closed.[7]
Beta release schedule
Phase | Release | Estimated/Actual date |
---|---|---|
Beta | Beta-1. | To be announced.[8] |
Beta-2. | To be announced.[8] |
Beta NDA
Los lanzamientos de las Alpha-1, Alpha-2, Beta-1, Beta-2 no tenían NDA (non-disclosure agreement).[9]
- El Alpha-1 testing anterior al lanzamiento completo de la Alpha-1si que tuvo NDA.[10][11]
Fases de testeo
Fases de testeo de Ashes of Creation.
- La Alpha-0 fue solo con invitación para amigos y familiares.[13][14]
- Las Alpha-1, Alpha-2, Beta-1, and Beta-2 estuvieron disponibles durante el Kickstarter y las campañas de crowdfunding de verano campaigns.[12]
- La Alpha-1 estuvo disponible en el Intrepid pre-order pack así como en el Adventurer pre-order pack.[15][16]
- La Alpha-2 y la Beta-2 estuvieron disponibles durante PAX West 2017.[17][18]
- La Alpha-2, Beta-1, y la Beta-2 están actualmente disponibles en los Pre-order packs en la tienda de cosméticos.[19]
The game will be feature complete before Beta... Beta really is intended to identify last minute bugs to make sure that everything is ready for launch; it's important that all features are complete by Beta-1. Alpha-2 will not be feature complete at the start of Alpha-2. There are going to be updates that are going to be incorporated as part of the Alpha-2 process and there are going to be additional features that come online that get fleshed out between that time and Beta-1. There's going to be regions of the maps that aren't going to be accessible of course during Alpha-2.[2] – Steven Sharif
Pre-order packs
Pre-order packs were available from the Tienda cosmética up until they ended on January 17, 2024 at 11:00 a.m. Pacific.[20][19]
- Wayfarer pre-order pack (History).
- Expeditionary pre-order pack (History).
- Voyager pre-order pack (History).
- Voyager plus pre-order pack (History).
We offer cosmetics for players who wish to support the project early. The exclusive nature of the limited availability is something I think collectors value. If you buy cosmetics as an MMO player, I know I enjoyed if the cosmetic is rare and not every girl at the party is wearing the same dress. In addition, these cosmetics are used to populate the world through NPC variants and color/texture changes so their offering aligns with our production schedule. The good thing about these packs is they contain no P2W advantages and there is no box cost, so from a mechanics standpoint you do not need to buy them to excel in the game on launch. And also, there are comparable and subjectively more grand cosmetics achievable in game as well.[21] – Steven Sharif
Participación
- La Alpha-0 tuvo unos 2.500 participantes.[22]
- La Alpha-1 tuvo aproximadamente 9,600 participantes en Agosto de 2018.[23][24] Hubo algo más de 13k participantes en Mayo de 2021.[23] Hubo 5300 inicios de sesión únicos durante las pruebas del fin de semana de 3 días del 27 de Mayo de 2021.[23]
- Se espera que la participación tanto en las Alpha como en las Beta aumente con la venta de los packs de pre-venta.[25]
- Se espera que la Alpha-2 supere los 100.000 participantes.[26][27]
Server wipes
Los servidores de las Alpha y Beta serán reseteados antes del lanzamiento.[28]
As a general rule, if the testing phase contains the word Alpha, it is safe to assume there will likely be wipes.[31] – Steven Sharif
