Alpha-0 is a NDA[3] pre-alpha[4] release of Ashes of Creation.[5] This is the first of many internal tests of the networking, backend and node system.[6]

  • Establishing core technical features for the back-end solution.[7]
  • Connecting many players into a single zone with 4,000 NPCs.[7]

  • Making the connection through the launcher end.[7]

Alpha-0 has a bio-luminescent Underrealm environment.[19]

One of the important aspects of color play is going to be the distinguishing factor between different Underrealms and the regions that exist in the world: Their color influences set them apart from different regions.[20] – Стивен Шариф

There won't be an active character creation screen in Alpha-0, but there will be several options for players to choose from.[5]

[23]

Alpha-0 progression

Players will experience some degree of progression in Alpha-0.[5]

  • Leveling will be from level 1 to 10.[25]
  • New equipment will drop.
  • There will be a tier-based skill progression where players can apply points into individual skills.

Alpha-0 artisan classes

Gathering and crafting was originally intended to be in Alpha-0,[5] but due to time constraints these were not included.[26]

Alpha-0 combat

The weapon use ability (precision combo/quicktime event) system is in Alpha-0 but it is a different iteration to what was shown at PAX West 2017.[27] Due to time constraints leading up to Alpha 0, the success range of this system was widened and the UI component was disabled. The plan moving forward is to continue to evolve the system in a fun and more engaging direction based on community feedback.[28]

  • Many animations at the moment are first pass, and will be further fleshed out as development continues.[29]

We want combat to be engaging, fun. What you're seeing in our pre-alpha we honestly have not spent a lot of time on combat. Most of this pre-alpha has been spent on establishing core technical features for our proprietary back-end solutions for making a MMO in Unreal.[7] – Стивен Шариф

Alpha-0 weapon use ability

A revised weapon use combo system may be present in Alpha-1.[30]

The weapon use ability that was originally shown at PAX West 2017 was reduced to a basic form in Alpha-0.[31]

It's got a little bit of a cadence to it: you can tap, you can generate focus; and so from here we'll look at ways in the future to take that and make it more interesting and more fun and more engaging.[31] – Akil Hooper

World size

480 km2 (square kilometers) is the approximate world size at launch.[37]

480 square kilometers; which is which is pretty large comparatively to other MMORPGs out there. Now that does not include the lapped spaces: So that is the Underrealm and the portion of the world that it encompasses, which could probably easily take up an additional hundredish square kilometers I would imagine.[38] – Стивен Шариф

Alpha-0 key raffles

When getting real-time feedback, we want a wide sample of opinions from people that cannot afford to spend four or five hundred dollars on the Braver of Worlds, to the people that can... We want to get a wide, diverse audience from a purchase standpoint, even people that aren't even invested in the game at all, that's why we raffle out to registered users, or just on stream..[48] – Стивен Шариф

Alpha-0 end date

Alpha-0 may end eventually... or morph into something else.[49] – Джеффри Бард

Alpha-0 security systems

Системы безопасности будут пристуствовать для противодействия читерам, эксплойтам, ботам, продаже золота, дубликации предметов и других явлений влияющих на экономику начиная с Alpha-0.[50][51][52]
