Alpha Two Roadmap Showcase and AMA Livestream - 11AM PT Friday, August 16, 2024
Steven Sharif (Creative Director), and Margaret Krohn (Director of Communications) discussed the future of Alpha Two and answered many questions from the community! The New Alpha 2 Bundles go on sale Wednesday August 21st, we have adjusted these based on community feedback, please read the pinned message.
My friends, we have heard the feedback regarding the new key packs, and we have made adjustments to address the concerns. First, the keys grant access to all Beta phases. Additionally, the keys provide a month of sub time and $15 in embers (cosmetic shop currency, no p2w or p2conviencence). We have also planned giveaways during the different phases. It is important to note, Alpha 2 will last at a minimum a year, potentially longer depending on iteration time necessary. These keys are intended to support the costs associated with running the alpha server for that time. The keys are not intended to be sold to people looking to play a game, but rather to support our development and help bring to life the vision of Ashes, with an opportunity to help inform that vision as passionate and invested testers. - Steven
