Persistent alpha

Alpha-2 is known as the persistent alpha.[2][3] Persistent means that the Alpha-2 servers will be kept up all day and night until launch.[14][2]

  • There will be downtime for patches.[14][15]
  • Alpha-2 servers will become the public test servers (PTS) post-launch that are used to test patches and updates.[18][16][2]
Alpha-2 will remain even post launch as our public test server.[18]Steven Sharif
The ultimate goal for A2 is to be persistent and the PTS, but before we get that far there's gonna be some wipes I would expect.[16]Steven Sharif

Alpha-2 server wipes

Alpha and Beta servers will be wiped prior to launch.[17]

As a general rule, if the testing phase contains the word Alpha, it is safe to assume there will likely be wipes.[16]Steven Sharif

Alpha testing system requirements

Alpha-1 stress testing, March 17, 2021.[21]

Funny story; So yesterday as we are stress/density testing with our NDA testers, I accidentally summoned 5k bears around our few hundred players. But hey, it didn’t crash! Can you spot Lt. Toast here?[21]Steven Sharif

These are fully operational NPCs. They have behavior trees, they have AI blackboards; you know they are functioning as an NPC would; and to my surprise, to everyone's surprise actually, the server handled it quite well: 5000 entities all within a very dense area.[22]Steven Sharif

Artisan classes timeline

匠人職業 (採集加工製造) 將於 Alpha-2 及其後 Betas 測試全面實裝。[30][6]

In Alpha One the core basics of what crafting represents as a gameplay loop that is represented. So that means that there are gatherables out there. You will have to have tools in order to service those gatherables. There will be processing that's necessary; and then there's crafting stations that are available and can be constructed by the players. This is in Alpha One. You have to collect the recipes, you have to collect the materials, and you have to refine the materials; and then you have to create the reagents and then use those to kind of create the final crafting component of that you're trying to create. So that in and of itself is present, but it is a very very small piece of really what will be the larger crafting puzzle for Alpha 2 and betas.[30]Steven Sharif

Crafting honestly will not come online in any sense of its true form until Alpha-2. Alpha-1 has essentially what are intended to be the core gameplay loop of crafting, meaning the collection of materials, the translation of those materials into processed goods, and the use of those processed goods into item acquisition. That's the core gameplay loop that is currently present in Alpha-1. But those are mostly facilitated kind of piggy backing the merchant systems right now and not actually using the real crafting system; and that's because crafting hasn't been completed in a form that can be implemented in Alpha-1, but will be for Alpha-2. What's present in Alpha-1 doesn't even really scratch the surface for crafting.[6]Steven Sharif
