    What were some of the main driving factors behind the month long delay? Expected release was Q3

    (alternate question: What is the biggest upcoming change to A2?)

    Hello!

    Do you guys have plans to add some type of damage meter or metric? Almost like how the addon Details works in world of warcraft? It would be nice to see which spells are contributing most to your damage output. The same idea could be applied to healing as well.

    During Alpha 2, bugs and exploits will be very common. Is there any level of abuse of bugs/exploits in-game that could lead to any sort of punishment? e.g. Corruption bug, so an entire guild spawn kills people in a town for days.

    What updates will receive the highest priority during alpha 2? Besides bug fixes and stability, what will you and the team be focusing on?

    Hi, regarding game translation. Are we going to have the game fully translated to other languages (like spanish) during alpha 2? If it's not at the start, is it going to be fully translated from one patch to another? Or are we going to see only some translations and progressively you'll be adding more? Will the community be able to help with those translations?

    Are you able to give some information on the Summoner/Rogue time frame and when they will be dropping in Alpha 2? You've said they won't be available at launch, can we expect a similar time frame as the other classes, a couple months? They happen to be my two favourite classes

    Will the user interface be aesthetically changed during A2, or is it considered to be complete design-wise and only missing in functionality?

    I know it will be somewhat customizable, but to what extent?

    I've seen the "magic power" scaling in the UI, is that taking inspiration from League of Legends and can we expect that same or similar ideas in future UI?
    I've always thought LoL had uniquely readable stats which made picking items/understanding spells (and their power) much easier.

    Will the monthly streams keep the same format of revealing information on new features or change to a different, A2 focused, approach?

    How often can we expect large (testing) events during Alpha 2? Can we expect to be decently involved in some of the new showcases or testing grounds for (for example) monthly streams?

    How do you feel about the current iteration of character stats and attributes in the game? Do you expect it to change significantly with time or do you think it’s a solid foundation build on top of?

    Do you plan to make specific elemental attributes and defenses a significant factor in gear choices, contributing to a rock-paper-scissors combat dynamic in terms of elements, or will they be more of a secondary, personal flair in your overall design?

    Last time Steven talked about family summons in 2022, he said they still needed to prototype them in design and then potentially test them in A2. Are family summons still in or were they removed for being too strong in light of the game design's reliance on travel time?

    Having duels available to players really helps us push the envelope when it comes to PvP, since we can practice against each other without suffering XP debt. Is dueling planned to be available at the start of Alpha 2, or quickly after?

    What does “We will share more information about Alpha 2 sales reopening in the August 16th livestream” actually mean? Is this confirmation sales will 100% be reopening, or does it merely mean information will be given regarding how it may reopen under certain Circumstances?

    My friend has Cancer and i want to give him hope by talking about Ashes and our plans but we are late to the Project and don’t want to get his expectations too strong if the opportunity won’t be there.

    A response to this question would be greatly appreciated, right now All I want is my friend to survive Cancer and for us to have something fun to keep him going.

    Thank you so much for your time!

    Are the ashes apocalypse cosmetics making a comeback at any time or are they going to be exclusive to that play window ? ( their wasn’t a lot of people relatively speaking who played it - let alone capped the prog path trees for rewards ) would be cool if they remained exclusive.

    Will we see racial leveling (highest contributing race to level has their architecture, npcs, quests represented) of the nodes in alpha 2 ?

    Are you considering adding additional archetypes beyond the initial 8 in the future? I'd like to see the addition of '"laborers" and "academics" because archetypes based less on combat and more on professions could be interesting for some playstyles.

    Are we going to be able to create unlimited content once we have access to Alpha 2, both streaming the game, creating guides, videos and publishing whatever we want everywhere?

  • Snekkers Member, Alpha Two

    Currently character models don't really match the quality of what we saw in character creator or even the quality of environment. What is your stance about that topic? Can we expect some major changes like with lighting?

    What are some Alpha2 specific events that the team is particularly excited to experiment with? Do you have a siege planned already that you can talk about?
