Alpha 1 test began in July and ended earlier in August, it was successful and players are even more hyped for Ashes of Creation. The team will continue to introduce their new members in the next months.
They also shared a Development Update video on their official Youtube channel, talking about studio, design, and engineering update, character art update, and at the end of the video there’s a Q&A as well.
We’ve collected some of the most interesting questions-answers from their Q&A section:
Q: Is Alpha 2 still planned to be persistent (up 24/7) until launch?
A: We haven’t announced any changes to our plans for Alpha Two persistence!
Q: With dungeons/raids being open world will there be multiple things to do during a boss fight? example: while the main raid group fights the boss a secondary group has to cover their backs by fighting off a hoard of monsters that initiates during the fight.
A: There will be many things to keep an eye out for during boss fights – for example, during Alpha One testing we saw several bosses that featured multiple phases/adds, as well as having to deal with other open world players who may want to come steal your glory 😉
Q: Question to the devs: Any chance of being able to level up/get gear doing PvP content?
A: As open world PvP content will be far and wide, there will be many opportunities for advancement and gear by participating in PvP activities.
Ashes of Creation will be a unique PVE/PVP MMORPG, where everything is permanently impacted by your actions. It has an open, dynamic world -everything you create or build remains in everyone’s reality. Each player has the power to change the gameplay – cities will rise and fall, quests and secrets will unlock – Gone are the days of static worlds; change is here to stay!
