Kicker starter backer gets screwed
Back in 2017 when kickstarter was active a 100$ backer got phase two beta but now you can buy with the same $ alpha? If this is the case why not give all kickstarters $100 or more alpha test as well considering backers help push the game forward. Just seems unfair that for $100 backer gets beta and $100 from store gets alpha.

Re: Where is the progress
No idea. Certainly does seem like alot of pre A1 stuff was scrapped but there was an engine change. Did that have something to do with it? No idea.
But I think it's disingenuous to say there's been no progress. I would say that animations and skills have progressed massively in that time, and quest lines (even if they are placeholder)
Ui looks alot better and the world seems to run alot smoother than back then.
Environmental things like insects flying around and the night sky box have definitely improved the ambience and the alpha 2 has more details in the biomes than alpha 1.
We've also seen the caravan system actually moving and events tied to it.
I'm probably missing a dozen things. Yeah, I understand progress feeling slow, but I certainly wouldn't say that there hasn't been any.

Re: Where is the progress
Why has basically everything including an entire zone been scrapped since A1 ?
Development.
I heard that for Example in the Past - > there were like a 100 Nodes or more planned. But then Sir Steven and/or his mighty Crew decided to shrink it down to like 85 Nodes at Maximum,
so that Players don't right away run into another Node after Two or Three Minutes after leaving their own Node's City Gates.
Plus might be just me -> but i like the "new"/current Worldmap of Verra far more than the One from before.
"Plus",
you must take into Consideration that everything before and even after the "World Remake" of the World of Verra, is just a Placeholder for the later things in the same Places - which are all supposed to work.
And one more Reason above all - > it seems all those Years until the likes of May 2024 or maybe even now,
there was a new Engine/Possibility/Server-Tech being developed - > so that Hundreds* of People shall be able to run around in like the same Node, Place, whatever You call it,
without the Game turning into a horrible Lag-of-Death Frame-Festival and/or without countless People getting disconnected, because the known/older MMO-Engines are just not cutting it with certain, high Player Numbers.
Jepp. The Progress apparently takes it's sweet, sweet time. While i can fully understand how annoying this is, i also would like to get a bit more Information to keep People up to Date.
But Funfact :
i think we will all be far more up to date from the likes of November 7th or 8th and so on.
Damn. I want to see a Node-Siege Presentation sooooooooooooooo bad.

Re: Where is the progress
This is the bad side of things with post like these, people that dont understand development and have no clue how things work. Saying game builds are lies and some other random bs and spreading misinformation lmao.
I've said it before ill say it again you make some toxic threads.
if you're such an expert how about instead of calling people sad you enlighten them
100% agree, if they release literally anything that contradicts what I have said I'll be the first to apologise and admit I'm wrong and shout this till the cows come home, but as of right now everything I have said is facts, yes I don't know everything about game development, but it doesn't take an Einstein to see what is happening here
By the way I don't think this game is a scam, I believe Steven set off with great intentions and as a person I find him quite charming, but I also believe somewhere between A1 and now something has happened and I believe we have the right to ask why, by the way whoever asks these questions gets flamed I'm use to it and expect it but if you want. A good MMO as everyone claims, someone needs to start asking these tough questions 8 years in

Re: Where is the progress
Obviously we have different opinions on the development of this game, let's keep it civil
We don't though.
I know it's probably not very clear, but I support your position on this matter entirely, just not your approach.
I too, would like 'Classic' Ashes of Creation and literally every day I wonder nostalgically what happened to it.
I just think this thread is really, really unlikely to help in any way.

I bought Alpha 2 package for $375. Haven't bought any additional cosmetics because I don't really care about it
