Pre-order-packs with Alpha-2 access are ending

September 2023 will be the final pre-order packs for Ashes of Creation.[38]

Why are the pre-order packs ending?
Our pre-order packs were intended to be a way for players to support the project by providing an opportunity to collect exclusive cosmetic appearances that are used in creating the world of Verra, while respecting our commitment to zero-tolerance pay-to-win whatsoever. As we draw closer to our Alpha Two and Beta testing periods, we want to ensure a glorious experience for our players who have signed up to help make Ashes of Creation the MMORPG it deserves to be. To that end, we have decided to discontinue the packs until such time as our internal and/or external testing supports the admission of additional testers. We will continue to update our community when more ways become available to access Alpha Two or Beta testing through our communication channels.[39]
When will the final pre-order packs end?
The final Pre-Order Packs will end on January 17, 2024 at 11:00 a.m. Pacific in order to ensure everyone has enough time and notice with regards to the final Pre-Order Packs’ availability.[39]
Does this include the Beta-1 and Beta-2 pre-order packages as well?
Yes. While we anticipate we will reopen the ability to purchase Beta packages in the future, these options will not adopt the same format of regularly recurring monthly exclusive cosmetics as our existing Pre-Order Packages currently offer.[39]
If I do not get a pre-order pack, does that mean I will not be able to join Alpha-2, Beta-1, or Beta-2 in the future?
Not necessarily. We will continue to engage with our community and content creators to offer various giveaways that players will have an opportunity to participate in. After our internal and/or external testing satisfies the admission of additional testers, we may provide alternate methods of purchasing access into testing periods.[39]
When the pre-order packs end, will there be other items on the Ashes of Creation shop?
We may provide cosmetic items and merchandise in the shop at a future date.[39]
I purchased a previous pre-order pack, but I like The Unseen Order cosmetics better. Can I switch out my cosmetics for these?
Previously purchased cosmetics may not be exchanged, though we do provide a 90-day return policy. If you own an existing Pre-Order Pack, you may also purchase individual cosmetics offered in the current pack a-la-cart.[39]
Can I upgrade my pre-order pack after sales for the pre-order packs end?
Yes. You will continue to have the option to upgrade your Pre-Order Pack to a higher-tier package after sales of Pre-Order Packs end. If you upgrade, it will not give you the cosmetic items of the same type (Accessory, Pet, Mount, etc.) that came with the previous pack you purchased. Only the additional cosmetic items from the upgrade to The Unseen Order Pre-Order Pack will be granted.[39]
Can I purchase add-on cosmetics from The Unseen Order after pre-order packs are removed from the shop?
Yes. You will continue to have the option to purchase add-on cosmetics from The Unseen Order, based on what your Pre-Order Package level gives you access to.[39]
How long will I be able to upgrade my pre-order pack or purchase The Unseen Order add-on cosmetics?
We don’t have a date to share for this yet, but we’ll give everyone plenty of notice before ending the ability for them to upgrade their Pre-Order Packs or purchase add-on cosmetics from The Unseen Order.[39]
What about upgrading Kickstarter packages? When do those end?
You will still be able to upgrade Kickstarter and Summer Backer Packages. We’ll give plenty of notice before ending the ability for people to upgrade their packs.[39]

Alpha persistente

Esta traducción puede estar desactualizada.

Se sabe que la Alpha-2 será persistente.[32][33] Esto significa que los servidores de la Alpha-2 estarán siempre disponibles hasta el día del lanzamiento.[32]

  • Habrá tiempos sin disponibilidad para parchear[40]
  • Puede haber reseteos de personaje y de testeo.[41][32]
  • Los servidores de la Alpha-2 pasarán a ser los servidores de testeo públicos (PTS) después del lanzamiento que serán usados para probar parches y nuevas actualizaciones.[41][32]

Alpha-2 will remain even post launch as our public test server.[42] – Steven Sharif

The ultimate goal for A2 is to be persistent and the PTS, but before we get that far there's gonna be some wipes I would expect.[41] – Steven Sharif

Reseteos de los servidores del Alpha-2

Los servidores de las Alpha y Beta serán reseteados antes del lanzamiento.[43]

  • Los servidores podrán ser reseteados antes de testeos individuales.[44][45][41]

As a general rule, if the testing phase contains the word Alpha, it is safe to assume there will likely be wipes.[41] – Steven Sharif

Requisitos del sistema para la Alpha

Alpha-1 stress testing, March 17, 2021.[46]

Funny story; So yesterday as we are stress/density testing with our NDA testers, I accidentally summoned 5k bears around our few hundred players. But hey, it didn’t crash! Can you spot Lt. Toast here?[46] – Steven Sharif

These are fully operational NPCs. They have behavior trees, they have AI blackboards; they are functioning as an NPC would; and to my surprise, to everyone's surprise actually, the server handled it quite well: 5000 entities all within a very dense area.[47] – Steven Sharif

Alpha-1 naval concept art.[51]

Habrá contenido naval en la Alpha-2.[52][2]

Clases de artesanía

Esta traducción puede estar desactualizada.

Las clases de artesanía (Recolección, Procesado, Elaboración (Crafting)) estarán disponible en su totalidad durante el Alpha-2 y las Betas.[54][22]

Crafting honestly will not come online in any sense of its true form until Alpha-2. Alpha-1 has essentially what are intended to be the core gameplay loop of crafting, meaning the collection of materials, the translation of those materials into processed goods, and the use of those processed goods into item acquisition. That's the core gameplay loop that is currently present in Alpha-1. But those are mostly facilitated piggy backing the merchant systems right now and not actually using the real crafting system; and that's because crafting hasn't been completed in a form that can be implemented in Alpha-1, but will be for Alpha-2. What's present in Alpha-1 doesn't even really scratch the surface for crafting.[22] – Steven Sharif

NDA del Alpha-2

Esta traducción puede estar desactualizada.

Los lanzamientos de las Alpha-1, Alpha-2, Beta-1, Beta-2 no tenían NDA (non-disclosure agreement).[56]

Fases de testeo

Alpha and beta key concept art.[65]

Fases de testeo de Ashes of Creation.

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.[40] – Steven Sharif
