Alpha-2 - Interface utilisateur du système création de personnages (première itération).[1]

L'alpha 2 a pour objectif d'intégrer une très grande partie des mécanismes du jeu : un très très grand pourcentage.[2] – Steven Sharif

Alpha-2 - Introduction du système de création de personnages (première itération).[3]

Un large pourcentage des systèmes de jeu devrait être en place pour l'Alpha 2 de Ashes of Creation.[2]

  • Monde de jeu
    • La Carte de l'Alpha 2 sera d'une taille approximative de 220 km2.[4]
      L'Alpha 2 va probablement représenter environ la moitié de l'espace mondial disponible dans le cadre des tests. Je dirais un peu plus de 220 kilomètres carrés de monde à explorer pour les joueurs, ce qui représente une partie assez complète du jeu.[4] – Steven Sharif
    • Climate system.[2]

Les testeurs de l'Alpha 1 et l'Alpha 2 peuvent être invités à participer à des tests ponctuels avant le début de l'Alpha 2 persistante.[24]

L'Alpha 2 sera normalement une alpha persistante.[25][26]

Alpha-2 is known as the persistent alpha.[25][26] Persistent means that the Alpha-2 servers will be kept up all day and night until launch.[27][25]

  • There will be downtime for patches.[27][28]
  • Alpha-2 servers will become the public test servers (PTS) post-launch that are used to test patches and updates.[31][29][25]
Alpha-2 will remain even post launch as our public test server.[31] – 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.[29] – Steven Sharif

Tulnar race

The Tulnar race is expected to be in place for Alpha-2.[10]

Naval schedule

Alpha-1 naval concept art.[41]

Naval content will be introduced into Alpha-2 as an update.[42][43][2]

Naval will be an Alpha-2 in the sense that at after we launch Alpha-2, at some point in Alpha-2, naval will be implemented as an update; and that naval will be the ability to acquire components, construct those components, acquire recipes, construct certain types of ships, navigate those ships on the water, and engage in certain ship-to-ship interactions and ship-to-player interactions and ship-to-content interactions. Now, it won't be the aspect of that, meaning all ships won't be present: all types of those ships, all attachments of those ships. And it will be maybe a little bit janky to start because it's going to be an alpha version of it. But the intent there is to provide the loop where players get to go and interact with content in the ocean. That won't be at the start of Alpha-2, but it will be in Alpha-2.[42] – Steven Sharif

Emblem, logo and symbol editor

Banner rendus 3D.[46]

The user interface will allow emblems, logos and symbols to be designed in-game.[47][48][23]

Q: Do nodes provide their citizens some kind of clothes or ornaments, capes, tabards, or something that they can basically represent their node?
A: I mean technically the node does have a sigil or insignia and there will be certain armors that you can customize insignia and/or symbols on, so yes you could probably achieve that.[49] – Steven Sharif

Alpha-2 NDA

Alpha-1, Alpha-2, Beta-1, Beta-2 releases are not covered by NDA (non-disclosure agreement).[53]

We may not always announce when the NDA testing is, because we're not definitive how that testing is going to influence the future testing schedule; and we don't want to set the wrong expectation from a broader audience perspective on what they should be expecting with regards to testing.[33] – Steven Sharif

Early access

Alpha and beta key concept art.[56]

Ashes of Creation testing phases.

Ashes of Creation's core game systems are expected to be in place at the start of Alpha-2.[66][2] By the end of Alpha-2, the game is expected to be feature complete, but it will not be content complete until launch.[27][28]

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.[28] – Steven Sharif
Alpha-2 is intended to exist up until launch. There's going to be different testing periods that we will be releasing either new content locations or zones or systems that we want to have players focus in on. In those situations, if we're having participation drought because of the length of Alpha-2, we can set them up in a more focused setting. We can even incentivize that. We can offer unique testing to potentially new testers as well.[27] – Steven Sharif
  • The developers will not necessarily announce NDA testing periods.[33]

Packs de précommande

Packs de précommande were available from the Magasin cosmétique up until they ended on January 17, 2024 at 11:00 a.m. Pacific.[63][64]

We offer cosmetics for players who wish to support the project early. The exclusive nature of the limited availability is something I think collectors value. If you buy cosmetics as an MMO player, I know I enjoyed if the cosmetic is rare and not every girl at the party is wearing the same dress. In addition, these cosmetics are used to populate the world through NPC variants and color/texture changes so their offering aligns with our production schedule. The good thing about these packs is they contain no P2W advantages and there is no box cost, so from a mechanics standpoint you do not need to buy them to excel in the game on launch. And also, there are comparable and subjectively more grand cosmetics achievable in game as well.[67] – Steven Sharif

Participation

  • Alpha-0 had over 2,500 participants.[68]
  • Alpha-1 testing had approximately 9,600 participants as of August, 2018.[69][70] There were slightly over 13k participants as of May 31, 2021.[69] There were 5,300 unique logins during the 3 day weekend test of May 27, 2021.[69]

Server wipes

Alpha and Beta servers will be wiped prior to launch.[30]

As a general rule, if the testing phase contains the word Alpha, it is safe to assume there will likely be wipes.[29] – Steven Sharif
