Py'rai themed divine gateway.[2]

Alpha-0 is a NDA[3] pre-alpha[4] release of Ashes of Creation.[5] This is the first of many internal tests of the networking, backend and node system.[6]

  • Establishing core technical features for the back-end solution.[7]
  • Connecting many players into a single zone with 4,000 NPCs.[7]
  • Getting good server framerate performance.[7]
  • Making the connection through the launcher end.[7]
  • Establishing the core node system collection cultural experience.[7]

This release is also known as the "friends and family alpha".[8][9]

  • Alpha-0 is the invite-only "raffle" alpha that also grants access to some media and influencers.[10]
  • Alpha-0 is a part of Pre-alpha testing.[4]

Participation

1,200 to participate in Alpha-0 over a 3 day period starting Friday 15th of December 2017.[12] Participants will receive alpha keys by email in early December.[13] The email will contain a survey link where participants can choose their preferred time slots for testing.[6]

Guidelines on what is required from Alpha-0 testers will be provided via email. The developers may also come on server to provide specific instructions.[12]

End date

Alpha-0 may end eventually... or morph into something else.[14] – Jeffrey Bard

Nœuds

Alpha-0 Empyrean village node.[15]

The alpha-0 map is divided into three Nœuds, each with a ZI.[5]

  • Only one node will be capable of reaching the Village stage.

World size

480 km2 (kilomètres carrés) est la taille du monde approximative au lancement.[16] Ceci comprend le contenu aquatique et terrestre.[17]

  • Les zones aquatiques sont considérées comme des zones jouables, mais la part exacte de zones terrestres versus aquatiques n'est pas connue pour le moment.[18]

Je ne connais pas la part exacte de terre versus eau, mais l'eau est également un environnement jouable et il y aura du contenu...[18] – Steven Sharif

480 km²; ce qui est plutôt vaste comparé à d'autres MMORPGs. Ceci dit, ça n'inclut pas les espaces superposés : c'est-à-dire l'Underrealm et la partie du monde qu'il recouvre, ce qui devrait facilement prendre environ une centaine de km² supplémentaire, j'imagine.[19] – Steven Sharif

  • Il est attendu qu'un joueur sur sa mounture puisse traverser la totalité de la carte en quelques heures.[20]

Starting area

In Alpha-0, players started at an Empyrean divine gateway.[25]

Environnements

Cette traduction est peut-être obsolète
Rivière passant par le milieu de la carte dans l'Alpha-0.[26]
Biome de Plaines inondables dans l'Alpha-0 .[27]
Biome de forêt dans l'Alpha-0.[28]

Il existe quatre environnements de surface (climats/biomes) dans Alpha-0.[26]

Alpha-0 Underrealm preview by Trystan Snodgrass.[29]

L'Alpha-0 a un environnement souterrain bio-luminescent.[30]

L'un des aspects majeurs du jeu de couleurs sera de permettre la distinction entre les différentes zones souterraines et les régions existante dans le monde: l'influence de leurs couleurs les démarquent des autres régions. [31] – Steven Sharif

Classes, races and genders

Il n'y aura pas d'écran de création de personnage dans l'Alpha-0, mais il y aura quelques options que les joueurs pourront choisir.[33]

Progression

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

  • Leveling will be from level 1 to level 10.[37]
  • New equipment will drop.
  • There will be a tier-based skill progression where players can apply points into individual skills.

Artisan

gathering and crafting was originally intended to be in Alpha-0,[5] but due to time constraints these were not included in the initial testing phase.[38]

Combat

Le système d'utilisation d'arme (combo de précision/réflexe) est présent en Alpha-0 mais reste toujours différent de ce qui a été montré au PAX West 2017.[39] De par les contraintes de temps pour l'Alpha 0, la portée de réussite de ce système a été élargie et les éléments de l'interface utilisateur (IU) ont été désactivés. L'idée est donc de continuer à développer ce système vers quelque chose de plus divertissant avec une direction plus engageante basée sur les retours de la communauté .[40]

  • Beaucoup d'animations actuelles sont sur leur première itération, et seront rendues plus consistantes au fil du développement.[41]

Nous voulons que le combat soit engageant, amusant. De ce que vous expérimentez dans notre pre-alpha nous n'avons honnêtement pas passé beaucoup de temps sur le système de combat. La majeure partie de cette pre-alpha a été investie dans la mise au point de fonctionnalités techniques primordiales pour nos propres solutions de back-end (partie serveur) pour créer un MMO avec Unreal.[42] – Steven Sharif

Calendrier de publication

Alpha Two is coming in Q3 2024! We have not announced specific dates or testing schedules for Alpha Two, Beta One, or Beta Two yet.[48]

Spot testing has begun, some limited NDA'd testers are participating in spot tests and December will see more, including some major headless client testing. Also those of you that still have the A1 launcher may see an update in the next couple weeks.[50] – Steven Sharif
The NDA spot testing that will be before Alpha-2: We will have first one with our PI members, then we'll have some with our Alpha-1 users, and then our Alpha-2 users; and of course Alpha-2 will not be NDA, but that spot testing will be NDA.[51] – Margaret Krohn

NDA

L'accord de confidentialité (NDA) de l'Alpha-0 restreint le partage d'éléments visuels de la phase de test de l'Alpha-0.

Bien sûr vous pouvez parler de L'A0, mais pas de visuels [89] – Steven Sharif

Nous avons évidemment prévus plusieurs Alphas. De même que des invitations pour Amis/Famille. Les gagnants des Clés de l'Alpha auront accès à nos Early Alphas, qui seront sur invitation seulement. Ils seront sous accord de confidentialité (NDA) pour ces alphas. Nos packs de financement participatif inclueront l'accès à une alpha persistante, séparée et qui arrivera plus tard que l'alpha envers laquelle nos tirages hebdomadaire permettent déjà l'accès. [3] – Steven Sharif

Easter eggs

There may or may not be a pair of sandals; if found will grant you some major boon or benefit... You might need a utility skill to find them.[90][91]

Security systems

Security systems will be in place to combat cheating, exploiting, botting, gold selling/real money transactions (RMT), item duplication and other things that affect the economy starting from Alpha-0.[92][93][94][95][96][97][98]

  • A broad spectrum of approaches are going to be utilized in order to try to protect the integrity of the game once it launches. Testing of these systems will begin leading up towards Alpha-2.[93]
Security is always at the top of any concern when you have a closed system like an MMO is... We've seen a lot of MMO is launch without security in place and the economy gets ruined as a result thereafter. And every band-aid that's slapped on top of that wound is just making things worse. And so part of why you take the time in order to ensure that things are done correctly is also the security component of things; and that's where testing with a live audience is a bit different also than testing with a Q&A audience as well, because you're going to get those bad actors- and we call them bad actors because ultimately they're attempting to destroy the fun for others... So what we've done is we've hired some security experts who've worked on massive other MMOs like World of Warcraft and other games, and they bring with them lot of experience; and we're going to be testing that in leading up towards Alpha-2. It's a very important part of Alpha-2. It's not something that we really addressed with Alpha-1 because again, that was a much more barebones functional testing experience. We did see some issues during Alpha-1 and we made it important for Alpha-2 to test those systems. We have a broad spectrum of approaches that we're going to be utilizing in order to try to protect the integrity of the game once it launches.[93] – Steven Sharif
  • These systems collect user data and flag abnormal activities for investigation. This combined with player reporting functions generates a live "heat map" that draws attention to unusual behavior.[92][94][95][98]
We do have already built into the game on the outset is essentially behavioral metrics. So in the game, as a player does normal things and they acquire normal gold, that's all good and well, but if there starts to be item IDs that appear on the player account that are out of the norm, like either a large amount of gold, or significant legendary items, what it does in the back-end it flags the account for view so that we can take a look at where did this item come from. Is it coming from a known gold seller or a flagged bot, or whatever; and then we investigate. So we're going to be pretty hard on the ability for players to subvert the natural economy systems by RMT or botting.[95] – Steven Sharif
  • Botters, cheaters, gold sellers, and RMTers, will face severe penalties from the active GM/community team.[92][99][100][98]
It's important to note that there is a sanctity that must be protected within the game from RMTing; and let me just go into a little diatribe about this: But in games that I've played where the company or the publisher does not enforce rules, it becomes the standard that you buy gold if you want to be competitive. If you want to compete at the top tier levels in certain games, and everyone's buying gold, you almost either have to buy the gold or you're just not going to be able to compete with those people and that's a really shitty feeling to have. Excuse my French, I apologize. That is sucky; and in order for that not to be the case it is the responsibility of the publisher or the developers both to make sure that we have stringent practices from a CS- from a customer customer service perspective- to enforce our rules and to make sure that players are aware if they partake in this there is a huge risk in doing so. It's not going to be a slap on the hand. It's not going to be a "we told you once, we told you twice, we told you three, four, five six times okay. We're just taking some gold away", that thing. We have got to ensure that it is feared to do those things because that ashes has active GMS, it has active customer service, it has an active community team.[100] – Steven Sharif

Graphics system

Alpha-0 will utilize DirectX 11 or DirectX 12.[101]

UE4 allows us to do from a graphical fidelity standpoint is create a beautiful world on the front end.[102]
