Alpha 0 players, what will you focus on doing?

in Ashes Of Creation General Discussion
This is an important testing phase that will give the devs important information on what our preferences are. If you have a key, what will you do to make Ashes a better game for all players? (This can be closed once A0 starts)

    There seems to be this rampant delusion that people are going to be running around doing what they want during these initial testing phases. For those that have keys, specific goals of what they are looking to test have been mailed out. It is not a persistent alpha where people are going to be logging on whenever they like, and meeting up with guildies to run dungeons or such. No confirmation on anything beyond this initial 3 day run. You could very well see them do this one, then nothing for two months (not probable, kills hype). Before I break some NDA that I haven't signed yet, will leave that there.

    Bug fixing, and enjoying the environment the Devs have created for us. I want to help them as much as possible.

    Do what they ask, test what they want testing, try and break things and give constructive feedback.

    My main focus will be on finding the best grind spots so when launch comes I can find the most efficient way to level to end game. =D

    Well the first thing you need to test if you can successfully login to the server.

    Whilst I trust we have very capable developers.. my first test will be of the movement as games made with UE4 tend to feel floaty and unresponsive.

    This is probably down to the base code of UE4 and I'm sure they've already changed this a long time ago, however it is something I'm unfortunately paranoid about and will not be satisfied until I've felt it for myself.

    Apart from that, anything the devs tell us we need to test and I also will attempt to break stuff! =)

    I'm going to do exactly what the e-mail told me to do.

    Alpha 0 testers should know what to do. I don't want to say much, but instructions have been clear.

    The given purpose for Alpha Zero are relatively broad and translate well to simply playing the game. I will just do that, play, explore and feel out what there is to feel out and give appropriate feedback.
    In essence I will try to break the game wherever possible :3
    I do have a keen interest in the base combat experience with this timing attack tho, so i will probably use a lot of time with it.

    Despite my itch to be a rebel, I will be following the instructions that have been given. Happy Alpha Zero Everyone, Great time ahead and hope I see some of you in there.

    Mainly testing whatever is needed at the time, if nothing is requested, then off I go to do whatever feels right.

    Yeah, I got an email with the testing goals and a lot more info. And then the Time Slot Survey which I responded to... but nothing since then. I'm hoping for more so I can actually check out the NDA, download the game, stuff like that... and that email didn't tell me how to do that.  :)

    Groovy. I keep checking but nada. I have this nagging feeling I'll be chosen for the first round on Friday and won't even have the game downloaded until it's over.   Paranoia!

    Step 5. Submit bug reports.
    Step 6. Submit suggestions and wish lists.
    Step 7. Dance like no one is watching. :)
