Alpha 1 access might open again if the servers are able to handle it. So who knows, you might get lucky.
You think you have it bad. I'm so old, I may die before launch day, I've started eating better and taking walks around the block to increase my chances of making it.
The next generation will eat the fruits that you worked for, soldier.
Yea learn from this guy. He's been here for 3 years now.
Go watch Boston Legal, Lie to me, The Boys, Rome, Penny Dreadful, The Office, Anohana, Clannad, Ef a tale of memories and melodies, Code Geass, Steins Gate, Sword of The Stranger - and read Name of the wind, play some Pillars of Eternity, Baldur's Gate 2, and Tyranny, if you do all that, or have done it - I could come up with some lower tier suggestions. Or with specific genres in mind, custom tailor a list lol, but just saying
I have a low time requirement job, so I've had to become a grand master of filling time with entertainment, so I can almost always find something to do/watch/read, etc. There are more games now than ever, it tends just to be a matter of finding them. That which has the greatest chance of holding long term interest though and passing the most time is for me at least(multiplayer competitive games), I have about 3000 hours in PUBG, although I would say they ruined it beyond playability now with some of the most recent changes, so I have discarded that - and another 2400 hours in CS:Source, 700 or so in Global Offensive, trying to intermittently passing the time with MTG Arena, Team fight tactics, I empathize but yeah, gotta just find some stuff, and start tackling it - and as you do that - time will pass(faster than one might hope), it's such a finite thing.
Good luck!
What a legend.
Im tired of league, I think its time for some Badurs Gate 2 action.
How many centuries have you been waiting? Just passing time trying to take over the world while waiting must be so tedious.
I didn't know I was waiting for ashes, specifically, but I was waiting for this vision.
2 years ?!? That's wishful thinking.
It's more likely 3 years before it's polished enough and launched than 2, count 4 years if they struggle on certain aspects or are unlucky enough to find themselves with a major setback.
Especially since Mr Sharif said himself he knows that MMO's only get one chance at launch i expect them to delay it as long as necessary.
There's singleplayer games with less ambitious goals (and often much larger teams) that have longer development cycles then what AoC would have in 2 years (+current 3).
Heck this game wants to launch with 8 archetypes for a total of 64 classes, just implementing the spells, passives, all different animations and effect ect and balancing it all is a humongous task that is being underestimated.
And that's not even including other combat aspects like aggro management and stealth (+detection) systems that will probably keep having to get adjusted until their PvE encounters are finished.
So get settled in, we all still got a very long time to go before we can dive in.
Look we're august 2020, in 5 months it's 2021... i think with some steady progress it's going to fall at the cusp of Q1 to Q2 2023 launch.
BUT I HOPE I'M WRONG.
I'm exaaactly at the same point, since TheLazyPeon's vid I watched more than 12 hours of streams and vids about the game and don't even mention looking through wiki and forums xD.
(Sadly, I can't afford buying the Alpha 2 box)
Hype burnout is a real thing, but I don't think it's going to happen to this game if they deliver on a fair amount of their promises.

Lol I'm the same as you. I will gladly show my support through the years for this game, even if it is years. For me I just play Overwatch, something to increase my mechanical skill in the years to come.
I'm trying to see if my now-6 year old computer can hold out for a few more years, so I can buy a new computer right before Ashes launch. I bought my current computer right before Wildstar to play that game, and we all know how well that turned out ...
thanks, I was wondering when the game might come out and knew 2 years was hopeful

I know the feeling, and I've been here since the kickstarter. I took a break until the Peon and Asmongold explosion. Now all I can think about at work is Ashes.
It's healthy...
...really
I'm so excited for this game I cant even tell you but at the same time I don't want this game to come out before 2023 because I want it to be as perfect as it could be!
Also this if you can effort it, helps you with the waiting problem and supports the game at the same time.
Yes. That's a problem. Find satisfaction in something worthy of your admiration. 'Games ain't it.'
You and me both brother. I got alpha 2, and have set aside money for alpha 1 should it become available again.
I just don't see anything else in the future I want to play. It's like every system in this game is a system I have been asking for for years, and every other game is "Streamlining" the game into the ground.
This is my personal feedback, shared to help the game thrive in its niche.
I'm preparing for the "remember when everyone were hyped about aoc?" memes
It's easier to think the game would flop rather then live in endless expectation ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Playing wow classic now, just to see content i missed back in the days, but it doesn't really satisfy me that much after i found AoC.
Trying to be optimistic and think we might get it at the end of next year, since it already looks better than many MMOs did at launch.
Keep in mind i said optimistic, not necessarrily realistic
