Spot testing happening already?

Member, Alpha One, Adventurer
it was stated several months ago by steven that spot testing would be starting within the next several months, we are now several months past this date and not a word has been said about this, even though i have seen multiple questions for the monthly live streams about this, this leads me to believe that spot testing is currently already happening probably under an NDA or it just wont happen at all given A2 is only 6 months off, my concerns are, if this has not started yet, will this be offered to everyone that purchased a 500$ + bundle to support the game or will it be offered to streamers only wich is what i would guess is happening, i think that when this starts everyone should have a equal chance of jumping into testing the game weather you bought the bundle or not

Aw man, that sucks...
(this is a joke, in the spirit of the post)
Jajaj tbh id be more than happy to judt know someone got one
That has been there since A1 ended. There aren't any spot tests happening atm, not for A1 backers, not for PI, no one.
I see, thanks for the clarification. Still no need to worry in my opinion though. Tests are bound to start again by the end of the year / beginning of 2024 if I remember the Q&A correctly. As long as they are making this game thoroughly, the final game, even if "only" released by 2026, will be worth the wait. For those who can't wait that long: There are other games coming out until then, no need to wait passively for Ashes to be released. Who knows players waiting for Ashes might find other enjoyable titles since then to bridge the waiting time.
If there are spot testing going on it will be under NDA. So if someone says there is or isn't i prob wouldn't listen to them unless it's coming from the studio.
Yep, some people absolutely got an invite. There you go, you can relax now. Everything's totally fine. Take a nice deep breath, safe in the knowledge that everything's fine.
I want to provide some clarity and perhaps assist with some misconceptions ^_^
I can assure you that we are often testing the game internally!
When it is time to bring in some extra help from outside the studio for spot tests, we will notify those people! This may be under NDA. There is a priority for testers. For example, Phoenix Initiate and Alpha One testers will likely be among the first summoned to these spot tests.
There is no announced date for the release of Alpha Two
Spot testing will not be offered only to streamers
We're working hard on getting Alpha Two ready to be played! We are eager to play Alpha Two with all of those who have Alpha Two keys as soon as it is ready ^_^
This made me chuckle
