Die Beta-1 und Beta-2 Testphasen von Ashes of Creation werden kurz sein.[1]

The game should be pretty much done (at beta stage) and final polish and stuff like that being put in. We don't want people to get totally burnt out on the game before we actually release. So once we get to the beta phases it should be short and sweet.[1]Jeffrey Bard

Beta NDA

Alpha-1, Alpha-2, Beta-1, Beta-2 releases are not covered by NDA (non-disclosure agreement).[6]

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.[10]Steven Sharif

Testing phases

Ashes of Creation testing phases.

Ashes of Creation's core game systems are expected to be in place at the start of Alpha-2.[21][22] By the end of Alpha-2, the game is expected to be feature complete, but it will not be content complete until launch.[23][24]

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.[24]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.[23]Steven Sharif
  • The developers will not necessarily announce NDA testing periods.[10]

Vorbestellerpakete

Vorbestellerpakete sind im Shop erhältlich.[19]

Wir bieten Kosmetika für Spieler an, die das Projekt frühzeitig unterstützen möchten. Der exklusive Charakter der begrenzten Verfügbarkeit ist etwas, was meiner Meinung nach Sammler schätzen. Wenn Sie als MMO-Spieler Kosmetik kaufen, weiß ich, dass ich es genossen habe, wenn die Kosmetik selten ist und nicht jedes Mädchen auf der Party das gleiche Kleid trägt. Darüber hinaus werden diese Kosmetika verwendet, um die Welt durch NPC-Varianten und Farb-/Texturänderungen zu bevölkern, sodass ihr Angebot mit unserem Produktionsplan übereinstimmt. Das Gute an diesen Paketen ist, dass sie keine P2W-Vorteile enthalten und keine Boxkosten anfallen, sodass Sie sie aus mechanischer Sicht nicht kaufen müssen, um beim Start im Spiel zu glänzen. Und auch im Spiel sind vergleichbare und subjektiv großartigere Kosmetika erreichbar.[29]Steven Sharif

Beteiligung

  • Alpha-0 had over 2,500 participants.[30]

Server wipes

Alpha and Beta servers will be wiped prior to launch.[28]

As a general rule, if the testing phase contains the word Alpha, it is safe to assume there will likely be wipes.[38]Steven Sharif
