Hail and well met glorious Ashes of Creation testers. My name is Sean Farrens. I am the manager of quality assurance on Ashes of Creation and on behalf of the Ashes QA team I would like to extend a deep and heartfelt thank you to everyone who participated in testing Ashes of Creation during the weekend of May 14 through May 16th for our Alpha 1 build. In spite of instability and uncertainty you have all proven to be invaluable in regards to your feedback and bug reports; and for that I cannot express my gratitude enough. As many of you know, developing an MMORPG is an epic endeavor that is filled with trials and tribulations that no other game will ever encounter; and your illustrated dedication has proven to our team that we are on a high road to the best MMORPG gaming experience to date. During this most recent testing period we received over 2,600 bug reports, which have been an absolute boon to our testing process. We review each report individually and I continue to be impressed with how detailed and helpful each of these reports has been. Like seriously you guys give repro steps and everything. Super duper handy. I greatly look forward to your feedback in the future and hope you enjoy our content so far, so thank you so much everybody.[1] – Sean Farrens

While we will have specific spot tests for certain systems as we develop them post the Alpha one month, it should be expected and understood that after this Alpha one month there will be probably a significant amount of downtime where there won't be spot testing as we break apart a lot of systems, take what we learned from alpha one month and implement and iterate upon those learnings. So there's gonna be several months probably worth of significant downtime where there will not be access to spot testing, where we are going to go in and really rejigger a lot of systems[2] – Steven Sharif

The term "alpha" is a tricky one, and it typically has 2 meanings in gaming. The development meaning for alpha is a point in the process where we are ready to test the fundamental systems in their core form, without polish and without much of the content. Then, there is the external or "marketing" term for alpha. This is typically applied to Eastern-ported MMORPGs, when in fact that is a completed game being localized for a region, and not really indicative of a true development alpha. As you may know by now, game development has many stages - from the initial tech demos to the pre-production and pre-alpha states, then on to the alphas and betas and eventually launch.[9] – Steven Sharif

I want to make emphatically clear, our alphas and betas are true development alphas and betas, and some have said I am crazy to allow these phases to be seen without an NDA…maybe I am crazy? lol… But I am trusting the community of gamers out there to get a glimpse into the process, and understand the long road ahead for what will eventually be worth the wait. Given time and talent, amazing things can happen, so make sure you help us in communicating that we are in open development which means people get to see the bare bones before the meat. And look, I know people see our 4K footage and say, "This looks better than most released games!", but trust me when I say, you ain't seen nothin’ yet.[9] – Steven Sharif

Renovación del combate

Alpha-1 split-body melee weapon combat sneak peek.[18]

I can move while swinging on this guy. I can back up then continue to attack him. Just have complete control over my character while attacking.[18] – Steven Sharif

Durante y después de las pruebas del Alfa-1 se lanzará un sistema de combate renovado en función de los comentarios de los jugadores.[19][20][21]

El sistema de combate renovado incluirá animaciones de cuerpo dividido, donde la parte superior del cuerpo del personaje puede ser bloqueada por animaciones de ataques con armas, mientras que la parte inferior del cuerpo puede seguir moviéndose libremente..[18][26][27]

You'll be able to move forward while swinging your weapon; and this will allow you complete control over your weapon attacks for melee.[18] – Steven Sharif

El combate en la Alfa-1 se centró en la funcionalidad básica más que en el equilibrio.[27] El combate en la Alfa-2 incluirá arquetipos, un número importante de habilidades de soporte, aumentos, combate de cuerpo dividido, ataques con armas, y muchos elementos adicionales, entre otras cosas.[28]

  • Los cambios que permiten que las habilidades de plantilla se apliquen a posiciones tridimensionales en el aire o en el agua serán prototipados y podrían incluirse en la Alfa-2.[29]

Alpha-1 availability

Pre-order pack upgrades are possible for current pack holders for the difference in price.[30][31][32] Upgrades to Kickstarter and El verano de la financiación packs are also available in the store for the difference in package price.[33]

Alpha-1 participation

Alpha-1 testing was available to the following participants:

There were approximately 9,600 participants in Alpha-1 testing as of August, 2018.[37][38]

  • As of May 31, 2021, just under 5k additional participants have been added since Alpha-1 sales resumed. Less refunds and unclaimed codes, leaves a total of slightly over 13k testers.[37]
  • The weekend test of May 27, 2021 saw 5,300 unique logins over the 3 day period.[37]

There were roughly 9600 if I recall A1 participants prior to my closing the preorder packs in 2018. Since opening them up again there have been just under 5k additional participants added. And prolly around 300 refunds give or take. Of the roughly 14,000 a1 testers, there are still about 1k unredeemed ks codes which leaves a little over 13k testers? The weekend test saw 5300 unique logins over the 3-day period. And I think discord flags stand around 4k roughly?[37] – Steven Sharif

Alpha-1 servers

Alpha-1 servers were provisioned in the following regions.[39]

Alpha-1 servers will support 1,500 concurrently connected users per server.[41][42][43]

Alpha-1 NDA

Los lanzamientos de las Alpha-1, Alpha-2, Beta-1, Beta-2 no tenían NDA (non-disclosure agreement).[44]

Requisitos del sistema para la Alpha

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

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 testing zone

Map of Alpha-1 testing zone.[49][50] Credito de imagen: Axiom: Angelcry

The Alpha One map including nodes, dungeons, quest givers, POI, teleporters, and camps will be explorable! Note that this is only a small portion of the world of Verra.[51]

Alpha-1 testing tropical zone featuring a war beast and a tribe of pigmy goblins.[52]

This is a rather large tropical area; and what we use some of the creatures for is establishing character for different parts of this tropical place. So that even though it's the same biome, it feels different when you are going from place to place based on what's there and how those things are interacting with the environment.[53] – Jeffrey Bard

Las pruebas de la Alfa-1 tuvieron lugar en una zona al noroeste del mapa del mundo.[54] Esta zona tiene muchas islas y un área continental.[55]
