Intrasid Studios spent a two-hour stream on which she shared the details of the next stage of alpha testing MMORPG ASHES OF CREATION. The developers said that the third phase of Alpha 2 starts on August 4, 2025, and on July 1 a public test server will be opened for all owners of alpha enters. Servers will work in 24/7 format to August 3 inclusive.
One of the main innovations will be the second starting zone of The Anvils, the birthplace of mountain gnomes Dunzenkell. The location includes eight dungeons, 28 tasks and 15 events, as well as interesting plot points related to abandoned forges. Players will be able to start traveling directly from the bowels of the mountain.
Two new races will also become available: Py’rai forest elves, previously hidden in the forests, and Nicua is the matriarchal branch of Dvorfov, which has settled on volcanic coasts. In addition, the updates will affect the design of the Dünir faction and the appearance system systems.
A large renewal of economics and craft will appear in Phase 3: now each level of the profession will have three categories of equipment, where basic things are created quickly and simply, and rare efforts require efforts. The “Crates” system is introduced, which can be transported between nodes and used for construction. The boxes will be visible to other players and may become a goal for PVP.
In this phase, the fourth level of development of nodes will also appear, allowing to build full -fledged cities. Instead of the usual step, the “city” of the next will become the “metropolis” to make each increase in the level more significant.
Guilds will receive a new pumping system, storage of objects and materials, a journal of activity and the ability to participate in weekly missions. The PVP system will be supplemented by the Dynamic Lawless Pois mechanics-zones that temporarily become PVP-territory with a high shot and experience. In addition, punishment for attacks on low -level players and immunity to control for peaceful players have been enhanced.
Recall that you can get access to alpha through the purchase of Alpha 2 set from $ 100, which includes access to future beta tests, a month of game subscription and in-game currency.
