For Alpha 2 Phase 2 there has been a lot of worries around exploiters, glint dupers, economy and experience breaking bugs and exploits. Steven and Intrepid bring down the ban hammer and a ban wave on those exploiters and this is Llewd Lloyd, Roarrior, and the chat’s response to these bans.
If you’d like to keep the following the highly ambitious game of Ashes of Creation MMORPG with diverse archetypes, 64 classes system, unique node system, into the expansive world of Verra drop a like, comment, and subscribe to the channel for Llewd Lloyd! Alpha two (2) will be launching October 25th, 2024. Check out the referral link above!

There is always going to be cheaters.
Ban these people. No mercy.
The notion that we should not ban all of them to find exploits is more hurtful in the long run.
Intrepid should be known as the no nonsense company that vaporizes you the moment cheating takes place.
Toxic chatters got a permaban while REPEAT exploiters for 5 days. 5 days is the same as no punishment at all. 5 days is a "punishment" worthy of the 1st time exploiters. This "hammer" is made of a marshmallow. It's a very bad look for Intrepid. Exploiters are free to do what they will at this point. Ashes is now officially Pay To Win since PI players have been given the green light to do what they want.
Back in the day you had hackers… You had what was referred to as the black het hackers and the white hat hackers— you hired the white hat and jailed the black hats when caught. This worked. If they cannot report and only abuse an exploit – BAN THEM — there are white hats out there doing good work. Get rid of the garbage gamers !!!
Dude… I’m right there with you.
imagine banning someone for breaking the game in an alpha test, the one time where things SHOULD be pushed to breaking points. Crazy to me how many people don't seem to understand the concept of an alpha test.
Ever now and then I check in to the Star Citizen of MMO land's news and it never fails to make me laugh.
My main response to this has been simple – throw all the repeat exploiters into PTR, whenever it's on. Full permaban from the main client, but full access to the PTR when that's operating. They get to exploit the game to the best of their abilities, but their exploits don't impact the general population that's supposed to test big scale stuff.
I think you are completely overestimating every game qa team on the planet. Competitive people find exploits, not 9-5 ers. Especially when your not incentivized to find more work for your co-workers. Human psychology actually will make you test less.. subconsciously and you cant really blame people. Exploits are always found by people with 100% incentive to cheat. If you consider yourself a tester then you have to realize server stability, aka the fun of the player base is second to the overall health of the game.. and a big part of that is how many bugs can be fixed, with arguably the worst of those bugs being exploits.
LOL permabanning in A PRE RELEASE TESTING PHASE??? Arent there like multiple resets before launch? Also they are doing the work for them… and even some exploits that would not be found by the Q&A guys… pretty disappointing to see tbh.
My guess, this is more of a message and warning. We all know that most of the people who are bad actors will not stop. Maybe for a few days or whatever short amount of time but will eventually resort to their usual bad behaviour. I think Intrepid is setting themselves up for future actions. If bad behaviour starts to arise again, I am sure it will rain a lot more perma bans. And Intrepid will say that they have warned everyone repeatedly and gave plenty of chances to change. Next time judgement day comes it will be more severe. That's what I would do.
The funny part is that the majority of those actions were probably done by people from the same 3-4 guilds
