Hi fellow Thang’ers,

Later this week we’ll fire up the servers for public use for the 2nd Alpha Launch.

When?

Live: Friday April 7th, 2pm CEST

Close: Monday April 10th, 7pm CEST

A few pointers on what to expect:

  • When you are going to play, run your Launcher in administrator mode 
  • This time, we won’t be leveling you all up through the GM command and you will start with your characters wiped (no items and level 1)
  • The goal is to simulate a real gaming experience
  • We will run an event/ contest and reward people for different achievements (e.g. highest level gains X for Open Beta and/ or refine item X to +X and gain X for Open Beta)

We would like to achieve the following:

  • Learn more about:
  • Game Stability
  • Server load & how this impacts performance (this will determine how many servers we will launch with and where)
  • Gaming Experience
  • How does it feel? Play around with the different resolutions (also check out the higher ones) and tell us how it goes
  • Play solo, in parties, do bosses
  • Bugs
  • Whenever your client crashes, there is an auto bug tool that captures the bug. Ensure to press ‘Send’ and it will be send to us automatically
  • We patched many exploits and have systems in place to monitor the game. If you find bugs that would potentially benefit you in the Open Beta, make sure to report them so we A) get faster to the official Open Beta and B) you don’t get banned.
  • Anything else

All Alpha feedback & findings can be submitted in the Discord ‘alpha-feedback’ channel:

Alongside these Alpha learnings, we want to HEAR from you regarding character, monster and item balancing. Let us know your thoughts in the respective ‘Balancing channels’. Many people reached out to us but we want you to also have an open discussion with each other.

See you in game!
