    @F1zbanImagine you want a wedding cake.
    you are the first person to cut and try with your wife. (that's alpha 1) but before that the confectioners had to make the soil, try it, refine it, as well as the cream and everything else ... They talk with family , friends and more what shoud be the taste and design (that's the alpha 0)

    Well, i imagined backers are that family. Instead they throw out keys to random draws and pumpkin carving contests.

  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    Hi guys, i'm late but all of the key have been sent?
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    An email has been sent detailing when they will send the actual key and the steps needed to be taken to access Alpha 0. Check your spam, promotions, and other folders if you do not see it in your main email location. If you received the email, then all you have to do is wait till you get the next one and follow the instructions.

    All of the first emails have been sent out, so if you don't have yours or haven't been able to find it, you need to open a ticket with support or contact a mod like @Belewyn. And on another note, make sure you are asking about Alpha 0 keys, there are a few people on Discord who are saying "I bought BoW, where is my key?"

    @Belewyn
    I thought I heard a rumor after the Week 40 Drawings that there would be one last opportunity to gain access to the Alpha 0 testing... is this true?  If it is, did I miss it already?

    Thank you for all of your hard work answering and re-answering questions Belewyn!
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    Heya, yes there is another event planned as well as if you look at the new packages on the store there is new alpha 0 entries earned towards drawings of keys. more info on that will come in a press release that is anticipated to drop soon

    Around the 13th was being kicked around Discord yesterday.
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    If you have an Alpha0 key, is this only for one event or do you have access to all proceeding Alpha0 events?

    @Belewyn the only event is that the chance is higher when a package was bought, or will there be another event in the near future?
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    Like you guys, us MODs are also in a wait and see capacity. We have not yet heard what the event will be, when it will be, when it will be announced.
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    Does this mean A0 actually starts later then 15.12.?

    Since we didn't even get the surveys yet.
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    At some time, somewhere, something will be announced. maybe, probably it could even be happing right now

    I bought a summer crowd funding package that said I would get access to the earliest access of the game and now I find out that isn't true...
    • Invite to Closed Alpha - Phase 1 (Earliest Access to Ashes!)
    Belewyn just explained everything and I want to thank her for taking the time because she is awesome :)

    I understand what Alpha Zero is about but I still feel like it should've said (
    Earliest Purchasable Access to Ashes) instead since I just found out I won't have access to the actual earliest version.

    @TurboBlimp

    Alpha Zero :: Alpha Phase 1 ::  Alpha Phase 2 :: Beta Phase 1 :: Beta Phase 2
    • These are all considered completely different things
    Alpha Zero is only obtainable via Random Draw & Hand-Selected by the Devs

    More importantly,
    Alpha Zero is considered to be the " Final PRE-Alpha " Phase 
    ( please correct me if I'm wrong )

    in a way, Pre-Alpha is to test what sorts of ideas, functionality and other concepts that the Dev team have created - but in order to have a more accurate Test, they need Players to Participate. 

    The biggest difference is that Alpha Phase 1 will be the Equivalent to other MMOs' version of the word ... " Alpha " 
    (hence the word " Zero " , in the phrase " Alpha Zero " )

    And honestly, so far ... Ashes of Creation's PAX Pre-Alpha was fairly good - especially since it was (supposedly) made in the 90 Days after KickStarter ( right ? )

    More importantly, some PAX Testers thought it was a finished game :o
    ... some great feedback on a ... " Pre-Pre Alpha " imo  :D

    ( EDIT: probably the best FeedBack ever ?!?? )
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    @Eragle, yes you are correct. Alpha-0 is a pre-alpha testing phase for Intrepid to gather early data on the networking, backend and other core systems :)
