אלפא-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

A large percentage of Ashes of Creation's game systems are expected to be in place for אלפא-2.[2]

אלפא-1 and אלפא-2 testers may be invited to participate in spot testing prior to the Alpha-2 release.[31]

אלפא-2 is known as the persistent alpha.[32][33]

אלפא מתמשך

אלפא-2 is known as the persistent alpha.[32][33] Persistent means that the Alpha-2 servers will be kept up all day and night until launch.[32]

Alpha-2 will remain even post launch as our public test server.[36]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.[35]Steven Sharif

Alpha-2 server wipes

Alpha and Beta servers will be wiped prior to launch.[37]

As a general rule, if the testing phase contains the word Alpha, it is safe to assume there will likely be wipes.[35]Steven Sharif

Alpha testing system requirements

Alpha-1 stress testing, March 17, 2021.[40]

Funny story; So yesterday as we are stress/density testing with our NDA testers, I accidentally summoned 5k bears around our few hundred players. But hey, it didn’t crash! Can you spot Lt. Toast here?[40]Steven Sharif

These are fully operational NPCs. They have behavior trees, they have AI blackboards; you know they are functioning as an NPC would; and to my surprise, to everyone's surprise actually, the server handled it quite well: 5000 entities all within a very dense area.[41]Steven Sharif

Ashes of Creation alpha testing minimum system specification.[42] These system specs have not changed for Unreal Engine 5.[43][44]

Tulnar race

The Tulnar race will be in place before אלפא-2. Concepts and early works are expected at that time.[15]

Naval schedule

Naval content will be present in אלפא-2.[46][2]

Artisan classes timeline

שיעורי אומן (איסוף, עיבוד, יצירה) will come online fully in אלפא-2 and the Betas.[48][22]

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 kind of 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.[22]Steven Sharif

Alpha-2 NDA

אלפא-1, אלפא-2, בטא-1, בטא-2 releases are not covered by NDA (non-disclosure agreement).[50]

Testing phases

Ashes of Creation testing phases.

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.[34]Steven Sharif
