Ashes Of Creation Alpha 2 First Impressions (Phase 1)

So Ashes Of Creation’s Alpha 2 Phase 1 has recently released and I finally had the chance to play the game again 3 years after the Alpha 1.

In that time Ashes has had multiple NDA tests but I haven’t attended any of them despite having access because they usually take place when I’m sleeping and I wanted to be able to give a genuine first impressions to the devs for when the NDA drops so that’s exactly what this video is.
A genuine first impression from someone who wants Ashes of Creation to succeed.
This game is obviously in an Alpha state and the devs have said multiple times that this specific phase isn’t really something people should buy into to play, but instead to test.
The following footage is from the second weekend of Alpha 2 phase 1 testing as my internet was down for the first weekend.

What do you think of the latest Ashes Of Creation now that Alpha 2 Phase 1 is here and there's no NDA? are you optimistic for the future of this MMORPG? do you like the combat? let me know in the comments below!

Ashes Of Creation MMO Description

Ashes Of Creation is a colossal MMORPG attempting to provide fans of PVP, PVE and Roleplay an everchanging world and the ultimate MMO experience, the game will have the following:

9 different playable races both with male and female options.
1200 square kilometer world size at launch, 85 Nodes in the world, EVERY Resource you see is gatherable just like in New World.
Fully open world game where you can go from one size of the map to the other no loading screens.
Dungeons, Raids, World Bosses, Open World PVP with a criminal system, Caravan PVP, castle sieges, node sieges, arenas, duels, guild wars, crafting and artisan system, monster coin events, political system, citizenship, player run shops, taverns with parlor games, top tier character customization, transmog cosmetic collection, 64 different class combinations, 3 different forms of player housing both open world and instanced, achievements, leaderboards, gathering, questing, hybrid combat system, player driven economy with localized storage, pets, massive guild system with guild halls, both land and water mounts and 18 different biomes in the world.

Ashes started development back in 2016 in Unreal Engine 4 however at the end of 2021 upgraded its engine to Unreal 5 to make use of the latest advancements in gaming tech such as nanite, lumen and a more efficient development pipeline, In terms of funding the game was successfully kickstarted in 2017 however the vast majority of the games funding comes from creative director Steven Sharif, a successful entrepreneur who like most of us has been a lifelong MMO fan that was unhappy with the current state of the MMORPG genre, Ashes Of Creation is fully funded to completion and despite offering paid access to Alpha and Beta tests is not reliant on these funds to finish development.

This game will have zero pay to win, a cosmetic only cash shop with no convenience items and a $15 per month subscription fee business model with no box cost.

A sand park MMO is basically a hybrid of theme park and sandbox, there’s a lot of player driven content however there’s also developer curated scripted encounters such as raids and dungeons…This is the category of MMO that Ashes Of Creation falls into and personally It’s my favorite type of MMORPG.
