Same Issue on the EU Side. Purchased the game on the 20th of December, first issue was the EAC 5 validation issue, second issue was an infinite loading screen during Aysnyc loading screen and now this issue - crashing after getting to character select. I have attempted every fix, file validation on steam, install reinstall, updating my system, SFC via the command line, opening ashes as an administrator, deleting Pak files, enabling ashes through the file wall. All of this and ashes keeps presenting issue after issue. To put things in perspective, I have logged "49 hours played" through steam but I haven't been able to take a single action in game. That 49 hours has been spent working through the above solutions with the launcher open. Now I understand it is an alpha two and there are going to be issues like this but as another thread said, it should a priority not just because we all paid for it but because these public domain tests are meant as a medium for feedback and appropriate feedback cannot be collected if the game is not playable. At the end of the day, releasing a product should mean even in early access it should have rudimentary functionality but it has not demonstrated that in the slightest. The player base are not developers should not be expected to perform backend diagnostics as a front-facing consumer.

The Summoner is just overall bad right now.

Hunter dies to everything, and does next to nothing in auto attacks and the special ability hits for lvl 10 initiate geared mage, rangers level.

Mystic, sure the heals are okay as a backup…. overall I use this pet the most as it wont die to cleave damage and has similar dmg output as the hunter.

Guardian… I mean for solo sure its fine to tank things while it takes me an hour to kill it.

The Summoner is horrible right now…

i dont tank with the tank pet, i tank with my character and heal myself with the pet XD. but even if you tank with the pet, it doesnt take that long to kill things. the single target dps is quite good for the character because of hex and disintigrate resets. the aoe damage is decent too, although you do more with the other pets. and yes hunter dies to everything T_T

I would generously say - > not t~oo bad … … … … but there is still Room for Improvement. 😉 😎

you dont. quests and stories are still being developed and added to the game slowly.

the fastest way to 25 is to go and kill mobs, no quests. there are some areas with a 1 time quest that you can do while you kill mobs in that area, and there are also some old random 1 time quests in town that do not give that much exp.

if you really want to do quests, do commissions and town boards.

I also had a similar experience today…. i logged out in a different zone. when i got on i was in postion 17 for like an hour i was at 1 then at position one i sat for 1.5 hours. thought it was glitched or something. restarted new queue started back at 27 not that bad right?? nope ive been waiting for about 3.5 hours now on this new queue.. currently position 8…. this is the start of a new mmo on steam so honestly. it sucks but this game is awesome so far i really like it. i feel like im getting my old school need for a mmo scratched finally! been a long time waiting for that so a few hours in queue for growing pains is not that bad. still sucks but im posting this so it gets addressed and fixed. ive been apart of mmo launches for a while so it is what it is. guys did a great job making this game so far looking forward to seeing it grow. woot woot number 7 in queue while writing this. great game so far guys

This does not fill me with excitement for the future, you have something here for sure. Not having enough servers ready for this launch is truly mind boggling. Poe 2 went down earlier today for an emergency fix although it did take longer then usual to get back up it did, also we were given multiple updates and estimates. Then i got stuck in a que of about 3700 less then a minute later i was in. Incomplete zones, broken skills/quests, shader issues etc etc totally understandable to a point. not being able to log in and link an account though…nah dude.

I wonder what the issue is for the que's The streamers get in just fine instantly.

When though? only 3 US servers? I haven't played for even 2 mins since yesterday. ONLY GOT IN TWICE and got DC'd right away.

Can you imagine how frustrating that is to a first time "player"?

This is the first impression you ONLY GET ONE CHANCE to make!!!
WHY WOULD YOU NOT HAVE MORE SERVERS OR SERVER CAPACITY/BANDWIDTH READY???

COME ON!! Get it together!!!

Staying active like this is such a strong motivation — love the dedication and energy
