Security –
We’ve taken several steps to address the repeated DDOS probes and malicious actors in game. And while we understand there will always be unfortunate occurances of hacking/DDOS attacks on games in general for the remainder of eternity, we hope those people doing this would engage with us on these issues and help us refine Ashes into the best possible game for a genre we share love for. We’d ask those people to please not disrupt the testing with these types of attacks and instead, bring these security concerns to us directly. We are afterall, gamers, looking to create and play an MMO to make us proud – Steven

Additionally, I forgot to mention… We had to wipe your progress. I am sorry for this, and while we try our best not to do this, sometimes a change/fix requires cleaning up the persistence in our database. This can happen in Alpha, though we try to avoid it.

Please F in chat, in honor of your previous character souls that were harvested for the Alpha Gods

To be clear, our desire is not to wipe at all for Alpha One month long test. And hopefully we will not have to again

  1. This is what you get when you let coders write patch notes or when you just use the commit messages from source control. Intrepid needs to hire someone to write their patch notes. Overall, though, this is a great development because it gives some metric on the amount of work that they are putting into the builds. Great work on getting this out so fast!

  2. The things I miss the most in the game right now are mob loottables with crafting. Grinding just doesnt feel good right now without it. But I guess thats alpa two+ stuff. 🙂

  3. Question about group exp, is there a level cap for exp share? Example if a lvl 15 is out killing high tier stuff and your lvl 1 would you still get the same exp share as you would if you were also lvl 15? If so powerleveling will be a thing and probably needs a bit of balancing. Especially if there is no distance limiter
