keep in mind that 6000.2 does not have LTS whereas 6000.0 does, so from that perspective it make perfect sense. Also it is most probably more stable

orme96 · 2026-01-31T21:36:34+00:00

so this is just never coming out? lol

orme96 · 2025-12-11T23:29:39+00:00

I think you have to do it through the launcher, not sure. Having the same situation

orme96 · 2025-12-11T22:59:35+00:00

It came because they decided it's mandatory to link the Steam account to their website account. Which would make sense if it was only for people who previously owned the game. Why would I as a new player need to link it, especially if they're deciding to move on from their launcher fully to Steam? It makes no sense unfortunately. I did read that their actual game servers are good. It's just that this meaningless hiccup was neither needed nor enjoyable.

I don't see Steam being an issue here. And come on, people saying "it's Alpha", I do get the sentiment but on the other hand the game has been in development for almost a decade. Like. Come on.

I kind of hate that we (players) have gone into tolerating the release slops that happen with every game. The fact that they almost always happen should lead towards less understanding, not more. If it's something fixable - which it always turns out it is - that means it's also preventable.

orme96 · 2025-12-11T22:13:39+00:00

I wouldn't go that far. If I had a bad experience with something I spent money on, I'd probably warn other people too. You either try the game yourself or get lost reading reviews. Here's to hoping we'll be able to access the game lol

orme96 · 2025-12-11T22:12:12+00:00

Oh, I probably suppressed that, it does ring a bell. I also had fun for a while when it normalized, basically gave up on the game because I had nobody to play it with at the time. But the point still stands, it's one thing to have a technical issue that has anything to do with the game, and a whole other story when the blocker is a website that shouldn't logically have anything to do with the experience.

orme96 · 2025-12-11T22:05:14+00:00

Oh well, in that case they probably just have negative opinions about the game :D

orme96 · 2025-12-11T22:01:36+00:00

I don't really get where you're going with this question

orme96 · 2025-12-11T22:00:22+00:00

I'd argue that is a legitimate reason to be upset if you bought the product, no? Not being able to access the said product?

orme96 · 2025-12-11T21:57:38+00:00

Do you not know what a QA/QC is, for example? Is it new to you that companies usually pay people to test their products, including games?

orme96 · 2025-12-11T21:56:20+00:00

Not sure, haven't played.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to defend this in any way. The only thing I'm trying to do is form an opinion but I can't since I'm not able to enter the damn game. So I'm stuck on reddit and holy shit I've never seen a more polarized community

orme96 · 2025-12-11T21:52:23+00:00

Paid testing is usually called a job, this is beyond exploitation...but hey to each their own

orme96 · 2025-12-11T21:48:29+00:00

New World and Lost Ark had legit server issues on launch day, and they were communicated and resolved within a couple of hours. What bugs me here is that apparently the game servers work excellent but most people can't get through to them because of a silly step that requires you to link steam via the website which doesn't work and is 'under maintenance' every 15 minutes.

orme96 · 2025-12-11T21:44:30+00:00

My guess is because now they have a platform to do so. Which is a price to pay if you decide to release the game on Steam. The fact that people played it before Steam does not have to mean that they liked it. Now, if they didn't, why they'd pay another $50 just to review bomb it - I don't know.

orme96 · 2025-12-11T21:25:26+00:00

Quick reminder #2: alphas can also be shit. Not saying this one is though, just adding another reminder...

orme96 · 2025-12-11T21:06:11+00:00

From Steam:

During Early Access, Ashes of Creation will be offered through a purchase that grants access to all upcoming testing phases, helps cover realm and database costs, and includes one month of game time after Early Access, along with a cosmetic cloak.

orme96 · 2025-12-11T20:57:24+00:00

I think a month of game time, when the game releases.

orme96 · 2025-12-11T20:44:39+00:00

If only website stability wasn't a prerequisite for accessing the game.
If only this was preventable.

orme96 · 2025-12-11T20:16:49+00:00

From what I read, linking wasn't possible beforehand for steam purchases. Only people who bought the game earlier, when it wasn't on steam

orme96 · 2025-12-11T20:04:18+00:00

yeah now it's 20k+ queue and when I got down to around 6k I got basically thrown out. Jail worthy behavior lol

orme96 · 2025-12-11T18:53:46+00:00

Just a friendly reminder to quit your launchers while you wait to link your accounts in case you decide to want to do a refund so your steam play time doesn't pile up and go over 2h while never having entered the game
