Glorious Alpha Two Testers!

Alpha Two Realms are now unlocked for Phase II testing!

For our initial launch, testing will begin on Friday, December 20, 2024, at 10 AM Pacific and continue uninterrupted until Monday, January 6, 2025, at 10 AM Pacific. After January 6th, we’ll transition to a schedule of five-day-per-week access for the remainder of Phase II.

You can download the game launcher here and we encourage you to join us on our for the most up to date testing news.

Inform your testers once they join the game.

For those who don't closely follow the game, I believe it's important to clearly communicate the game's phases within the interface. This could be done through notifications when logging into your character or when launching the game, clearly indicating Phase 1, Phase 2, and Phase 3 during the testing periods.

This way, players will have a better understanding of the current state of the game and what to expect with future phases, enhancing their overall experience. Clear communication about the phases can help keep the community informed and engaged

    I think they may be going for “let the stupid fail.” Can’t bother to learn about the game or understand what the test is all about after a number of videos on the subject, then I don’t think Intrepid needs them. Much like OG. No hand holding. No guides. You figure it out as you go, make friends and learn from one another. You know, like the real world.

    If only the real world worked the way you describe. I haven't learnt anything from friends except the phrase 'Google is your best friend'.

    "No hand holding" doesn't apply here. Not everyone is watching videos. And putting a simple notification when you log in is not difficult and may show some good results.
    You and the others were explained in videos and in numerous forum posts what to expect, why the rest of the crowd shouldn't get educated?

    I think it's a good idea.

    It kind of does apply here.

    People that can deal with no hand holding are clearly Intrepids target audience.

    It stands to reason then that people that can work shit our for themselves are the ones they most want feedback from.

    I mean, the information is out there, it isn't hard to find. There are those that have the information and so clearly don't need hand holding, and those that can't or won't find the information and so clearly do need it.

    There are plenty of other guilds if your own refuses to help you. :)

    Looks like you misread the post. The request is for Phase info visible on the launcher somewhere for easy reference, not for game guides.

    It's a good idea for clearer communication
