Alpha-2
Version vom 2. Oktober 2022, 19:42 Uhr von Wikiadmin (Diskussion | Beiträge) (Text replacement - "Early access" to "Testing phases")
Alpha-2 character creator user interface (first pass).[1]
Alpha-2 is intending to be obviously a very large chunk of the game's mechanics: a very very big percentage of it.[2] – Steven Sharif
Ein Großteil der geplanten Spielsysteme in Ashes of Creation soll in der Alpha-2 verfügbar sein.[2]
- Welt
- Die Alpha-2-Weltkarte wird ca. 220 km2 groß sein.[4]
- Alpha-2 is going to be probably about half of the world space available as part of the testing. I would say just over 220 square kilometers of world for players to explore, which is a pretty comprehensive portion of the game.[4] – Steven Sharif
- Jahreszeiten und Klima.[5][2]
- Events.[6]
- Aufträge.[7][8]

Alpha-1 und Alpha-2-Tester können vor der Veröffentlichung der Alpha-2 zu Spottests eingeladen werden.[28]
Alpha-2 ist als die dauerhafte Alpha bekannt.[29][30]
Alpha-2 availability
| Phase | Release | Estimated/Actual date |
|---|---|---|
| Alpha-2 | Alpha-2 spot testing (NDA).[31][32][33][34] | November 2023.[35] |
| Alpha-2 (No NDA).[31][33][29][30] | Q3 2024.[36][31][37] |
Dauerhafte Alpha
"Dauerhaft" bedeutet, dass die Alpha 2-Server Tag und Nacht bis zum Launch online sind.[29]
- Es kann zur Löschung von Charakteren kommen (Wipes).[38][29]
- Es kann zu Löschungen des gesamten erreichten Fortschritts kommen (Wipes).[38][29]
- Die Server der Alpha 2 werden nach der Veröffentlichung zu den öffentlichen Testservern (PTS).[38][29]
- Genutzt, um Patches und Updates zu testen.
- Beta-1 und Beta-2 werden wahrscheinlich nicht dauerhaft sein.[29]
Das ultimative Ziel für die Alpha 2 ist es, dauerhaft zu sein und anschließend zu den PTS zu werden. Bevor es soweit ist, rechne ich aber noch mit einigen Wipes.[38] – Steven Sharif
Alpha-2 server wipes
Alpha and Beta servers will be wiped prior to launch.[39]
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
Alpha testing system requirements
Alpha-1 stress testing, March 17, 2021.[42]
Lustige Geschichte; Als wir gestern mit unseren NDA-Testern Stress-/Dichtetests durchführten, habe ich versehentlich 5.000 Bären um unsere paar hundert Spieler herbeigerufen. Aber hey, es ist nicht abgestürzt! Könnt ihr Lt. Toast hier entdecken?[42] – Steven Sharif
Dies sind voll funktionsfähige NPCs. Sie haben Verhaltensbäume, sie haben KI-Tafeln; sie funktionieren wie ein NPC; Und zu meiner Überraschung, eigentlich zur Überraschung aller, hat der Server das recht gut gemeistert: 5000 Entitäten, alle in einem sehr dichten Gebiet.[43] – Steven Sharif

Tulnar race
The Tulnar race is expected to be in place for Alpha-2.[14]
- Konzeptkunst was released July, 2022.[47]
- 3D models may be released in 2023.[48]
Zeitplan für See-Inhalte
See-Inhalte will be introduced into Alpha-2 as an update.[50][51][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.[50] – Steven Sharif
- Seeschlachten.[2]
- Naval raid bosses.[51]
- Three ship classes will be present in Alpha-2.[2][19]
Artisan classes timeline
Handwerksklassen (Sammeln, Verarbeitung, Handwerkskunst) is expected to come online fully in Alpha-2 and the Betas.[54][20]
- Approximately 10 percent of the artisan system was online in Alpha-1.[55][54][20]
- Crafting honestly will not come online in any sense of its true form until Alpha-2. Alpha-1 has essentially what are intended to be the core gameplay loop of crafting, meaning the collection of materials, the translation of those materials into processed goods, and the use of those processed goods into item acquisition. That's the core gameplay loop that is currently present in Alpha-1. But those are mostly facilitated piggy backing the merchant systems right now and not actually using the real crafting system; and that's because crafting hasn't been completed in a form that can be implemented in Alpha-1, but will be for Alpha-2. What's present in Alpha-1 doesn't even really scratch the surface for crafting.[20] – Steven Sharif
Alpha-2 NDA
Alpha-1, Alpha-2, Beta-1, Beta-2 releases are not covered by NDA (non-disclosure agreement).[56]
- Alpha-2 testing prior to the full release of Alpha-2 will be under NDA.[31]
- Alpha-1 testing prior to the full release of Alpha-1 was covered by NDA.[57][58]
- The developers will not necessarily announce when NDA testing starts.[32]
- 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.[32] – Steven Sharif
Beteiligung
- Alpha-0 had over 2,500 participants.[59]
- Alpha-1 testing had approximately 9,600 participants as of August, 2018.[60][61] There were slightly over 13k participants as of May 31, 2021.[60] There were 5,300 unique logins during the 3 day weekend test of May 27, 2021.[60]
- Alpha and Beta participation is expected to grow with the sale of pre-order packs.[62]
- Alpha-2 is expected to have over 100,000 participants.[63][64]

Ashes of Creation's core game systems are expected to be in place at the start of Alpha-2.[75][2] By the end of Alpha-2, the game is expected to be feature complete, but it will not be content complete until launch.[76][77]
- Alpha-1 and Alpha-2 testers may be invited to participate in spot testing prior to the Alpha-2 release.[33][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.[77] – 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.[76] – Steven Sharif
