- Hey everyone!
I'm not as far a long as other content creators, but I have been covering Ashes of Creation since 2022, and it's exciting to be on the verge of taking the next step in this game, so I wanted to talk about what is happening the next few months and what it means for the amazing Ashes of Creation community going forward.

Can’t wait to see Steven on VoV! Glad you confirmed it in this video for all of us.
@@TheCopiumClinic 😂
When is YOUR turn to interview someone from Intrepid?
I'm sure Margaret would be game, or perhaps you can get Proxy Kevin O.O
@@Penumbra-AoC good question.
Lazy Peon was my introduction to Ashes as well.
I even used his code :)
Just remember to always do BIG DAMAGE...
@@Penumbra-AoCsame!
whenever I'm introducing a friend to ashes the first 2 things i do is send them that peon vid and that asmongold interview. something about those videos just spoke to my soul.
Yeah that asmongold interview was so good. it really sold me. I wonder who is going to be sold by the next interview
Looking forward to seeing Tulnar, rest of the land maps, all class combos, and Pirate stuff.
I try not to keep up with this game because of the fact that it makes we want to play it too badly. Hopefully we're closer than we think to that becoming reality.
Completely understandable
One of the things i'm curious about the closer i get to alpha 2, is how many of the people i see in the community will i be seeing on the server I'm in. If there are up 30-50 thousand people on NA servers, doesn't sound too unreasonable for it to be split between 2-3 servers. Would love to see the different content creators that I watched over the last 2 years, having their guilds and individual impact on the server. Hyped to be able to interact and compete with people.
@@YullishPelor same. Very excited to see a lot of the same people I've been talking to for years
They already had 200k A2 testers and wanted at least 100k more, so 300k planned for... That's 6 server clusters, at least, if they hit target of 50k accounts and 10k playing per server. "Just for A2" ... should be interesting.
OMG this area, UI, icons, action bars, minimap, health bar... are so clean and niceeeeee... I hope they have a great and healthy in-game economic system, please don't make gathering resources easy to get that became less valuable, and don't make unnecessary glow on armor or weapons too much, it looks less exclusive, except for skins... just make it simple but looks very exclusive
We will be looking back at the good Ole days before this game blew up 😄. We know who the OGs are
@@Crash1991. is this the good ol days? 😢
Haha the good old days might be Alpha 2, but definitely not now, and even if its A2, i hope its the latest stages of A2 :D But my guess is the good old days will be the first few years of the launch game
And if there's any doubt who the OGs are they'll have the cosmetics
So true
It isn't a game...it is a paid alpha test...it will become a game when it is even close to finished, which might be 2030 or so.
i got onto Ashes of Creation at the kick starter, i liked alpha 1 but alpha 2 i that i really been waiting for i can't wait.
I did too. I am sad for some of the things that seem to be cut, but I am still pretty optimistic.
back in 1987 isthereno1else pretended to be me and robbed an ice cream store in boise, idaho and i just need his viewers to know that
lmao exactly what you said about lazy peons video and then steven talking to asmon while driving to vegas. i saw that stream. Steven definitely got all the right attention then.
been looking for a Fantasy MMO every since EverQuest. would love to see the good old days again when there were role specifics and no one person can do everything. been keeping and eye on AoC and Pantheon RoF . but i dont think Pantheon has the graphics for "modern" MMO. so it is up to AoC. really liking the Summoner. P2W is my 1 deal breaker. so keeping my fingers crossed.
I'm viewing alpha 2 as a launch for this game. I never did before. I feel like it was the announcement they are re opening the key sales.
I'm not there but I get that. Opening of the keys almost feels like it. I'm just excited to test and provide input, as well as share w the community
The time is now.
Thank you for the video! How can I join Alpha Two? Am I late?
@@FLath. they will announce the keys and the price here in the future. When they do I'll do a video talking about it. You haven't missed anything
@@isth3reno1else Thank you so much!!
when can we play it already. The hype was for so long its gonna die soon. Let us test beta or something
If they reopen alpha 2 and its 60$ to get a key hell I might just get one
Hype hype hype . Let’s go VoV
Keep up the positive content! Thank you
You're welcome!
I dont trust a Streamer that says they get hyped over open world pvp. They usually take a ton of precautions to not get stream-sniped because NOBODY LIKES GETTING GANKED REPEATEDLY. Which will happen in any game with full open world pvp. It always does.
I streamed solo pvp on eso for years where I got stream sniped all of the time. It was my favorite thing to do in the game.
You can believe what you want but I have actual years of playing outnumbered pvp on stream where this happens lol
@@isth3reno1else Well, you are one-in-a-million, my friend.
@cmike123 they have a anti gank mechanic aka if your corrupted a lot you will be risking alot
@@Lsano32 They say that, but they also say they want people/guilds/groups ganking for frictional purposes. Steven is very excited about it.
@@cmike123 btw if gank a low level your corruption is going to be very high than a at level one and the risk is very high like your are putting your gear on the line yes if you group gank it might be a thing but if another group steams roll you and there’s pvp damping but most of this is about the red players if your a purple player who loves to pvp it won’t effect you at all and it’s like 4 times worse to die as a red
Why is there baked in Subtitles? So messy if you need other subtitles as a non native English speaker.
Our time is now! Well.... almost 🤣🤣
We're (almost) there!
Come on A2!
The only real thing I wish they would change is no PVP in cities and no PVP on a freehold. I know this may sound low key, but in cities there's really no point...nothing your fighting over same as freeholds. You can't look anything in the freehold if you kill the owner. I think that just opens the door to asshattery...just my OP.....don't get me wrong I LOVE pvp and want it everywhere else, just those two spots don't really make sense. To be clear that is PVP in a city when there is no war NO seige going on..
I go back and forth on it. I definitely see that perspective but then on the other end, as long as then corruption system is punishing you won't see much anyway.
This, I think, is where the corruption system is really going hurt someone trying to PvP.
@TheToledoTrumpton why are you wanting to kill someone in a city? Or better yet their home? You can't loot their house or anything???
@@JohnAPrescott Well exactly, but creating a haven for the enemy, so they can gank people and then take refuge, (and potentially sell or bank their loot, and/or escape), is actually creating a bigger problem.
If they get killed, they lose their loot, probably get ported back to their home node, and suffer corruption that means that anything they want to do for a while is going to be either harder or impossible. Why provide undesirables with a better option?
Asmongold needs to react to copium clinic .
Alpha 2 on Steam?
i dont think so no
I’d love it if they partnered with Steam/valve.
*triggered by incorrect auto-generated subs*
Here for a non-narc opinion for a change
Hey, different opinions are good!
Is this game better than eso for pvp?
In a few months I'll have a better answer, but right now I don't know. I like the idea that pvp in ashes is rewarding
Better is subject but assuming they achieve their vision there will be a lot more incentive to pvp in Ashes. Unlike most MMOs Ashes will actually have benefits for open world pvp.
@@nordy259 thanks for this reply 🙏
Hype and mmo's are always a bad combo lol.
FR though what's the surprise 🤓
😏
So, there is no actual information or dates apha 2? The devs just keep saying "soon"?
We get the date in late july
@@isth3reno1else That's a no. Well, it seems nothing really changed over years - game is still a fake
That settles it then
Is this game ever going to to come out???? Lol so many videos and still nothing 😂😂😂😂
😏
I am just confused how/why the betas will be active at the same time as the persistant alpha 2 phase. With my past experiences, they were separate.
Alpha 2 will permanently transform into beta 1 and 2 was always my understanding. As in, everything is gonna be the same, but at some point the open test is not gonna be called alpha 2 but instead beta 1.
AoC seems to be following a more conventional IT methodology for Testing. So, You normally have 4 complete "Systems".
1. You have a "Development system where the programmers test their own code as they write it.
2. This is then promoted to a technical "Integration Test Area, for the developers to test their stuff together.
3. This is then promoted to a "User Test Area", in gaming terms, a PTR.
4. Then this is promoted to the production Area.
Loosely speaking, the test phases equate to the setting up of the test Areas/Systems. Alpha1 is the Development area, Alpha 2 is the creation of the Integration test Area. Beta1 is the creation and test for the PTR, and Beta2 is the test of the Production Area(s). The game slowly makes its way up the 4 areas in releases/patches, and gets fully tested on the way up.
My thought is that because of the size/scope of the game, the A2/Integration testers may need more than the internal Testers, to make sure that they can keep the Beta testers busy, and there isn't a bottleneck in integration testing. The earlier in the process you catch a bug the easier it is to fix, because there are less likely to be dependencies. The Integration area tends to test you haven't broken something else rather than testing whether the change/feature itself works. The Area itself is always there even after go live, so it isn't a big deal.
I've been of the assumption that betas 1 and 2 will be on what the live servers will be, and alpha 2 will shift to their pts platform. I'm not a tech guy though so I could be way off
@@isth3reno1else the point is that the testing you do in the functional process sense, for "Beta 1" testing, you have to do from then on for every bug fix, patch and release. At the start of Beta 2, the Beta 2 test Area will just be an exact clone of Beta 1, but as soon as they make the first fix, the change will be put into Beta 1 first for at least a cursory test, before they risk bringing down the Beta 2 and delaying things. If they are using the Beta 1 system to do Beta 2, where are they going to do that check? A testing phase is cyclic, not linear.
That makes sense, thank you
Paid Alpha ffs 🤣
Wait till you hear about how much you needed to pay to be in A1 or in their closed tester circle(it's over 500!) personaly I wasn't gonna get A2 because 250 is just stupid to pay for any game, but if the reopened key sales are priced reasonably I might get in.
Gotta love those early access/Kickstarter scammers
@@HalIOfFamer they say the price will be around 50 dollars + - for only alpha 2 key.
@@HalIOfFamer At least 250 was kinda resembling a supporter pack. Just cashing in on A2 access alone is fucking scummy as hell. Sorry but that's just enough to put me off this game forever.
@@KachZz What else were they suppose to do? The people involved with designing the things for the packs are probably busy implementing that pack stuff into the game on NPCs(since that's part of what those packs did). Them getting server meshed figured out was NOT a guarantee and so now that they have/are, they need more players. They need them for testing, period.
They can't charge 250 for a key and sub time, or a key and embers, I don't think they're gonna sell the amount of keys they need that way. They could just give them out for free, would you rather that?
No controller support in 2024 is an automatic 3/10.
@@nokkprime It's a pc game in alpha with no intentions to go to console. I'm sure people will set up a way to run it on controller though like they always do
@@isth3reno1else doesn't change the fact they limit themselves in terms of number of players, and accessibility. 3/10 game lol
@@nokkprimeit's so whining console plebs like you don't spoil the fun for pc master racers.
@@nokkprime you are wrong
@@dl3472 YOU are wrong.
No, none of this is fun. How is waiting copious amounts of time or interviews "fun"? It is literally no different than it has been this whole time already, dawg.
@@nervosadustbolt9642 alpha 2 is fun, dawg
@@isth3reno1else you got some real partiers in your chat.
They are going to take all the money they can from copium lords and leave it in alpha state for ever. Will be so fun to see those poor scammed bastards complaining and realising what this really is
Man how miserable do you guys have to be to hate watch a video of a game your so sure is a scam and then leave a hate comment. Guess what happens if I the game is a huge scam and I lose the money I paid for alpha 2…. Not much it’s just money. Bet I’ll have fun in the Alpha while your still hate watching videos.
@user-ov5rb7hn4p Your life is so pathetic, LOL. Your comments prove my point. Move on with your life, kiddo. It's not our fault you're poor!
Not to be a downer but I still suspect Alpha will be it.
We will see!
@@isth3reno1else Honestly, I hope not but you know I'm more of a pessimist on game developers and vapourware.
Pretty surprised they actually made it from devs talking and forum posts to something that looks like a game
