Complete-newcomer suggestions?

I realize what I'm asking here won't really be answerable until well into alpha 2 or perhaps the AMA later this month, but I've been following AOC's development for years now and I really want to start to dive into the game, even if not accessible to me to playtest right now.

I want to do all my research on everything I can since the last mmo I played was guild wars 2. AOC evidently seems like a MUCH more involved mmo with crazy amounts of nitpicking detail within the games systems and such- it's very overwhelming to me and i'm not sure where to start, I've seen most of the 'hype' videos and small infodumps about it but a majority of AOC videos on YT right now are kind of just opinionated dumps on what they 'suspect' to be coming in alpha 2/ beta 1.

Hope this made sense, I'd appreciate any tips for coming into this completely from scratch.

Thanks!

    https://ashesofcreation.wiki/ is your best bet. they do a good job of keeping it updated with anything the dev team say or release. So you can get a good idea for each system and the dev's intent there.

    I've only watched the abridged version of this video, but it was fairly full of good info so I imagine the longer one has about everything you could want to know: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMAZdKzVr2s

    I'd say that for now, anyone who wants to get into this game or know if they want to get into this game should start here.



    Anything that makes you curious, in this stream, any question you find yourself thinking about, go to the Wiki. If it isn't in this stream, it's probably not finalized enough yet for you to know.

    If the ideas described and the gameplay seen in that video looks fun, I think just 'imagining what you'd like to see based on it' would guide you to the important parts of the Wiki.

    If you've already watched this one, then unfortunately I can't really be any help, but I wish you luck.
