What is Ashes of Creation?
Ashes of Creation is a unique take on the MMO experience. Our world structure is dynamic and built to react to the actions of our players. Cities will rise and fall, their populations based on the history of the world as the players create it. Quests will unlock as these populations gather, their needs grow, and secrets are unlocked. As the world’s NPC structure is established in real time, players will have the ability to destroy what they’ve created, paving the way for new development, new populations, and real change. Political strife and intrigue will play a very real role in the structure of your world. Gone are the days of static worlds, change is here to stay.
Risk Vs Reward
All across Verra, you have the opportunity to experience massive warfare, participate in epic trade caravans, and gather valuable components to craft exquisite items. Not only will your fellow players be your adversaries; the creatures of the land and the very environment itself will pose a constant and fresh challenge. Will you siege castles to become royalty, defeat other guilds to showcase your prowess, shape the marketplace by being a successful trader, or earn renown by developing your artisan crafting skills? This is your story, you tell us!

First!
Let's GOOOOOOO NEW VIDEO!
HE'S BACK!
I AM BACK! Trying to look at this realistically and when I think Alpha 2 will launch. Could it be in the summer of 2023 or maybe in the fall? GOD, I hope so. What do you think? Let me know in the comments =)
Right now I'm 50/50 on whether we'll see Alpha II this year or not. If you go back and listen to the live streams from mid 2019 to mid 2020 its a reminder that there a lot of things they mentioned they were working on and that they were planning to reveal in the coming months that we just never saw. Not sure why that is but clearly there are a lot of systems that I think are further ahead than we realize. I do think that they feel the need to make sure Alpha II is fairly polished. Let's be real…look at how people reacted to one kinda sub-par live stream, and that was after, as you said, they had killed it the entire year of 2022. All that said if we do see Alpha II sometime this year my guess would be sometime in the September – November range.
Hill, is that you?
Loved that you're back to making content, good to have more videos from solid CC's. I don't think your argument of them showing off lower level characters is quite as indicative as you think. Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on how you look at it) with how much emphasis Steven has put on the "exploration" of an MMO I doubt we'll see anything. Like I'd be very surprised to get a dev video of the augment systems. Idk the whole "saving the mystery of an MMO" is really biting them in the ass here. I do think they are much further along then they show off, but I think we'll see more in the coming months. Glad you're back Vlhandus
This is the first game where i've really seeked out the community around this game. More lurking than anything, but it's been interesting//fun. Great video!
I've been thinking early 2024 for awhile. I feel like one more solid year of work and showcases and it will be a very solid persistent alpha 2 like they need considering they may not even start their own marketing until beta phases etc.
they caint even give us a proper answer on what the cosmetic houses and ships are going to go on and yall except a alpha 2 this year listen i been backing since the Kickstarter but be realistic please lol at this point I doubt they even have end game ability's made period plain and simple for one a tank at level 15 should have a bare minimum 3-5 defensive ability's and 3 group ability's at this point the game should have been out or at least almost done its been 5.5 years they had a smaller team when they annouced they wanted to release in 2022 at this point aoc is looking like the best looking game to never be released
Welcome back Vlhadus! And thanks for the shoutout as well! I tend to think there is a lot left to do as well. I think the next few months might give a better picture with the dungeon and world boss. Especially the level of that content when we see it.
Welcome back Vlhadus and great video! I’m hoping we can see A2 in the summer but I could see that it could take more time than that. Let’s hope not.
We’ll at least the ashes livestreams can only go up from here…
If I had to guess as to their schedule release, I'm thinking non-NDA spot testing for A1 players by the end of the year and alpha 2 late 2024. Great down to earth video. Always appreciate your takes.
no way its gonna happen this yr, they just had a transition to UE5 last yr they only been on UE5 for a yr. Yes UE5 increase productivity but they still have to transfer rework asset from previous engine, we'll be lucky to have it at 2024.
Good to have you back man!
Well, they could say, "guys we're like 30% there", or they could wait for another six months with nothing happening so people would figure it out on their own.
I see no reason for them to worry as it was told multiple times they got entire development cycle covered money-wise and has no needs in additional funding.
For my part, I hope that Alpha 2 will be released when Steven and Intrepid Team really feel that they really have things well done and a well structured development base to keep improving, that for me is the most important thing that Intrepid has very good development foundations to stand on to keep improving towards the future.
But on the other hand I have a lot of fear, because I know that from 2024 the bar of hate, doubts and despair by many people who follow AoC will be in red numbers, probably 2024 to 2025 will be a difficult year for AoC.
Great video! But the only thing I have to say is that intrepid have said that they only wanna show us the bare bones of features so that we can figure a lot of for ourselves, but I can understand this perspective
My new prediction is March 26, 2024.
That will be the 20th Anniversary of my being clean and sober from EverQuest.
I am looking forward to listening to your interview with Bazgrim.
Good point about mentioning that A2 will go to lvl 35.
They have to get the spell effects, Animation right. Those effects were giving me a headache.
Talking about the biomes here, I personally would not like to see it till release, like I dont want want to receive a present then get told what it is exactly, a point of a mmo is discovery aswell, you dont have to see every single zone and mob, id rather that be a surprise.
I’m thinking it’ll be 2024/2025 – not too far away 🤞
I think maximum alpha 2 late 2023
With the biome thing if i was the devs i too would only show off one biome during showcases gameplay. I would want to keep the other biomes a secret outside of biome showcase. As a player i dont want everything spoiled for me before i can even play the game. so keep showing off riverlands for ur content for showcases but keep the other biomes a secret outside of the showcase to show them off and leave the content hidden till players get access.
Naval we wont see at start of alpha 2 imo
There base line from what i see needed for alpha 2 is, Nodes, Crafting/gathering, Combat, Tank/Cleric/Mage/Ranger/fighter finished till 35, Caravans i think thats there core loop requirments and a coupe biomes for playing in which riverlands and desert atm as stated in an earlier livestream but that can change
until we see the core loop stuff we wont see alpha 2
The in house tools they've developed will exponentially speed up development. I think alpha 2 end of year tbh. Beta/release 2025
The biggest challenge is world building and the systems as mentioned.
I'm going to try and build a house this year to keep from thinking about it.
The game won't launch this year for sure, it will be the a2
Omg thia game is coming out for a decade now
The community shouldn't be on their ass about the live streams. Not many, if any, developers don't even bother with this level of connection. The community should stop wanting more and more and just be content with the level of connection that is being given. I get that as a community we should push devs to be the best, but come on, let's be really, they've done a lot.
I think the alpha 2 announcement will come after all the archetype announcements. They said alpha 2 will be released when all the systems are operational, whether they are polished to the degree the community wants them to be is probably not going to happen. Alpha 1 = stress test. 2 = system test. Beta = polish. They also probably want to release alpha 2 not during the busier times of the year, so maybe a summer release or a holiday-ish release of 2023.
Alpha 2 is a tricky spot. with it being a consistent alpha until launch they can release updates along the way. However they will need multiple classes, specs, etc available for those 100,000 players to do and test. So I can see them wanting as good of a Alpha 2 they can offer at launch. There is hype… but if it flops word will spread like wildfire… even if it is an alpha test phase. What I wish they would do is maybe do quarterly updates instead of monthly, so that they can stay focused and have more time for quality streams. I was expecting summer of 2023 or early winter. See what happens
Still better at updates than star citizen
People need to chill lol. It'll come. People should realize the more people push them the higher chance they will could rush it. I don't think they will still but like bro if they do and its because people are impatient
The copiun addict in me says August this year. Steven said they were awaiting content and feel good about the systems in a live stream. If they keep pace as they have, my copium guess is 1 archetype a month+ world boss then July is revealed for August.
Realistically I can see them pushing after the holidays and hit a Q1 2024 to make sure and give room for delay.
Yes more cosmetics to buy!
Nah, we would have got the A2 by now if they didn't triple the world size, and underworld size.
If you want to know how much of the game is done, go count NPC Cosmetics packs, then place them in the world.
