Alpha-0 has a bio-luminescent Subreino environment.[19]

One of the important aspects of color play is going to be the distinguishing factor between different Underrealms and the regions that exist in the world: Their color influences set them apart from different regions.[20] – Steven Sharif

There won't be an active character creation screen in Alpha-0, but there will be several options for players to choose from.[5]

Alpha-0 progression

Players will experience some degree of progression in Alpha-0.[5]

  • Nivelación will be from level 1 to 10.[25]
  • New equipment will drop.
  • There will be a tier-based skill progression where players can apply points into individual skills.

Alpha-0 artisan classes

Reunión and crafting was originally intended to be in Alpha-0,[5] but due to time constraints these were not included.[26]

Alpha-0 combat

The weapon use ability (precision combo/quicktime event) system is in Alpha-0 but it is a different iteration to what was shown at PAX West 2017.[27] Due to time constraints leading up to Alpha 0, the success range of this system was widened and the UI component was disabled. The plan moving forward is to continue to evolve the system in a fun and more engaging direction based on community feedback.[28]

  • Many animations at the moment are first pass, and will be further fleshed out as development continues.[29]

We want combat to be engaging, fun. What you're seeing in our pre-alpha we honestly have not spent a lot of time on combat. Most of this pre-alpha has been spent on establishing core technical features for our proprietary back-end solutions for making a MMO in Unreal.[7] – Steven Sharif

Alpha-0 weapon use ability

A revised weapon use combo system may be present in Alpha-1.[30]

The weapon use ability that was originally shown at PAX West 2017 was reduced to a basic form in Alpha-0.[31]

It's got a little bit of a cadence to it: you can tap, you can generate focus; and so from here we'll look at ways in the future to take that and make it more interesting and more fun and more engaging.[31] – Akil Hooper

World size

480 km2 (square kilometers) is the approximate world size at launch.[37]

  • An additional 100 km2 may be taken up by the Subreino.[38]
  • It is anticipated that a mounted player can traverse the entire map in a matter of hours.[39]

480 square kilometers; which is which is pretty large comparatively to other MMORPGs out there. Now that does not include the lapped spaces: So that is the Underrealm and the portion of the world that it encompasses, which could probably easily take up an additional hundredish square kilometers I would imagine.[38] – Steven Sharif

Alpha-0 NDA

The Alpha-0 NDA restricts the sharing of visual elements from Alpha-0 testing.[44][3]

Alpha-0 key raffles

When getting real-time feedback, we want a wide sample of opinions from people that cannot afford to spend four or five hundred dollars on the Braver of Worlds, to the people that can... We want to get a wide, diverse audience from a purchase standpoint, even people that aren't even invested in the game at all, that's why we raffle out to registered users, or just on stream..[48] – Steven Sharif

Alpha-0 end date

Alpha-0 may end eventually... or morph into something else.[49] – Jeffrey Bard

Alpha-0 security systems

Security systems will be in place to combat cheating, exploiting, botting, gold selling, item duplication and other things that affect the economy starting from Alpha-0.[50][51][52]

  • These systems collect user data and flag abnormal activities for inspection. This combined with player reporting functions generates a live "heat map" that draws attention to unusual behavior.[52]
  • Players caught cheating will be banned.[52]

Alpha-0 graphics system

Alpha-0 will utilize DirectX 11 or DirectX 12.[53]

UE4 allows us to do from a graphical fidelity standpoint is create a beautiful world on the front end.[54]
