Glorious Alpha Two Testers!

Alpha Two Phase III testing has begun! During this phase, our realms will be open every day, and we'll only have downtime for updates and maintenance. We'll keep everyone up-to-date about downtimes in Discord.

If you have Alpha Two, you can download the game launcher here, and we encourage you to join us on our Official Discord Server for the most up to date testing news.

What is there to test?

Hi,

I don't want to hate or be negative. Steven said many times it will be a true alpha, but I'm not sure what I should test?

The gathering and crafting is tested within a few hours, the impression that the current quests are not enough also quite fast, grinding the biggest part of the game right now is pointless to test. For nodes you have to be involved in the community and/ or guild. On what should I give any feedback? I feel like there is simply not enough to test, especially after phase one there are just minor changes, while we are in a phase of the development where mayor changes should happen regularly.

    They have rebalances the economy, changed crafting, added new ways to level, class balance has been updated, new starting area. You put that all together, we testing the games launch and how it plays out. My hope they got it right this time. Cuse im notni. The mood to do this again.

    The new starting area is empty and obviously far from finished. What is there to test?

    You don't have to to every single step to test something.

    There is going to be many, many more resets.
    This A2 has really only just started.

    crafting,
    gathering,
    pvp,
    leveling progression,
    class design,
    bug reporting,
    balance reporting,
    caravans,
    node progression,
    caravans,
    guild progression,
    the countless mobs ai behavior,
    freeholds? maybe?...

    basically everything you can do can be tested, I think their focus right now is crafting/gathering progression though. avoid anvils for starting, start in riverlands or you'll be stunted with oddities.

    To me it just feels like they’re going backwards

    Not if they keep their word. Phase 3 should have no wipes. Unless something goes horribly wrong, we should have these chars till at least beta.

    There has been allot of progress and changes. Crafting alone needs balancing. Gear drop as well as that has changed. These two things alone are not balanced properly will make many problems.
