News & Announcements / Game status & Random battles 1 PvP video
« on: September 13, 2014, 05:25:41 PM »
Hello everyone!

It's now been a week since the game launch, and we have to admit that we're facing more bugs than we expected. However, we're working very hard to fix them and give you the most stable and comfortable experience as soon as possible. We apologize to all the people we couldn't help both in-game and on our forums, we're a small team and we do everything we can with our available means and time.

Despite all the issues currently affecting the game, the community has answered to the release with great enthusiasm and we thank you for all the kind words and encouragements we've received from many of you already. It's a pleasure to make a game for people like you guys! A big thanks to all our wiki editors too, and to everyone reporting bugs and abuses as soon as they found them. Finally, thanks to everyone playing the game fairly and trying to help the new players. Please continue doing everything you can to assist them, as everyone has something to gain out of such productive cooperation.

For the next couple of days, we'll keep focusing on killing as many bugs as we can and improve some of the mechanics that work worse than expected. We'll also bring the tutorial back and reopen dungeons. You can also expect the team recruitment to reopen soon.

EDIT: forgot to mention that we also added a Donation button on top right of the main website page. For people wanting to help us, have a look there.

To conclude, here's a little PvP video recorded by developers the 9th september. That's one of the first (if not the first) big battles on the game.

I'll even dare to stick this thread since we're here talking about one of the first and probably the most famous artist that ever illustrated the FOnline universe and experience: Cryofluid.

Through his website, you'll have the occasion to discover a lot of unique wastelandish creations, pictures, movies and more, related to Fallout or other universes. References are legions in his creations. Be sure to check every corner of the picture... literally!

« on: September 06, 2014, 11:39:06 PM »
Hello guys!

I would like to know if the Polish section needs a moderator, and in that case, who would assume that role? I don't know if there are conflicts between people inside Polish community and so if someone in particular should/shouldn't be chosen as moderator. Don't hesitate to contact me about it, thanks!

Hello everyone!

Here is the link to client 1.0. The online server will be opened in approximately 2 hours.

Ask around in the Technical Center if you encounter issues to run the client, and we'll do our best to help you. Don't forget to provide screenshots and explain your issue, and of course paste the content of your FOnline.log.

We'll update this thread when the server is ready to go.
EDIT: server is online!

See you all pretty soon in Arizona!

Roleplay Activities / Roleplay activities - explanations
« on: August 31, 2014, 04:39:50 PM »
Hello Wastelanders!

This section is dedicated to players wishing to do roleplay or start a roleplay-related activity in the game. While there are currently no mechanics covering those gameplays, that doesn't mean you can't do something on your own already. We plan to introduce some dedicated systems in the future, for example to help you manage bounty contracts, but that's gonna be for later versions of the game.

Meanwhile, if you want to establish your merchant company, or start some activity as mercenary, here is the place to announce it to the community.

We'll closely watch this section and remove the unnecessary flame. Please behave.

  • Only one thread per platoon/player!
  • Clearly mention the name of your platoon/character in the thread title.
  • Don't forget to mention which faction your platoon/character belongs to.
  • Please keep propaganda and sensitive debates into the political section. If you're tempted to post a screenshot full of your enemies' dead bodies, do it in the Accomplishments section.
We will be extremely severe with people willingly taunting or posting bullshit, so behave please.

News & Announcements / Ashes of Phoenix Release date
« on: August 28, 2014, 12:06:28 PM »
Hello everyone!

Development on Ashes of Phoenix has been really intense during this summer, and thanks to your support and feedback, we've been able to bring multiple improvements to the game. Now, it is time for the launch.

Friday the 5th of September, the public server will be officially open for everyone. That means you'll be free to download the game client and jump into Arizona with all of us and start the adventure!

In a couple of days, game rules will be posted on our forums and the installation procedure page will be updated. We'll post an announcement about it before launch day so you can perform the game installation already if you wish. The exact hour of the launch and some other details will be given at the same time.

This version 1.0 is just the beginning of the Ashes of Phoenix journey though. We have plans for the future weeks and months, and you can expect the game to evolve regularly. We'll talk about this in more detail in a few weeks. You can also expect us to ask your opinions about features of the game, both existing ones and new ones that we plan to introduce. Thanks to those discussions, we hope to develop a better game that corresponds to your desires, and also give you a clearer picture of our vision for Ashes of Phoenix in the future. This game is about combat, exploration, survival and politics, and all those aspects have not been equally developed yet. There is much more to come!

On top of that, in order to allow everyone to take a look at raw footage straight from the battlefield, we will host a livestream on twitch.tv on August 30th, 8-10pm CET, showing live zone control in action.

We hope you'll have much fun playing AoP and we want to thank you for your support which is extremely helpful, boosting our spirit and giving us the energy we need to continue on. We hope you're as excited as we are to start plundering Phoenix with all our friends!

See you soon in Arizona!

Events & Politics / Events and Politics - explanations. Beware trolls!
« on: August 10, 2014, 08:53:18 PM »
Welcome! This section is dedicated to Events and Politics, two important matters in the Arizonian Wasteland.

We encourage players to organize in-game events. PvP Tournaments, inter-faction big battles, hunts in Phoenix, whatever you can come up with that's fun and interesting.
We will do our best to help the community organize events. If you need our assistance, send us some PM (with something concrete or we won't pay attention) or open a thread.




Do not hesitate to discuss about in-game matters and political affairs in this section.
Discussing conflicts can often be a way to find compromises and understand each other better. Don't forget that this is just a video game.

Beware trolls! Flaming, trolling and speaking bullshit to taunt your opponents won't be tolerated more here than anywhere else on this forum. Please behave.

If you hate someone, hate him in PM's or even better, smash him in-game. We will pay attention about what's been said in this section, and might take in-game actions if we need to.

20
Welcome! This section is dedicated to Challenges and Accomplishments.

Challenges are the occasion for us to ask our community to show their skills in particular conditions. Every month or so, you'll be asked to fulfill a task in-game, and provide a proof, through some video footage or sometimes screenshots, depending on the task. There are various types of tasks we could ask, for example your best sneak action, your best kill streak, your highest damage, your best combat move or your biggest random encounter fight.
  • No one has any obligation to participate, of course. It's just some way to share your best moments with the community and play along other people doing the same.
  • There will be limited amount of time to fulfill the challenge. You'll have the occasion to compare your skills with other players, in-game when accomplishing the challenge against opponents or simply by sharing your videos, and we think it could be fun in such a context.
  • Depending on the task, we'll set a simple set of rules in a new dedicated thread so that anyone can participate in good conditions.
  • At the end of the challenge time, we'll ask everyone to vote for the best videos/screens shared by participants, or we might vote ourselves on our side, we'll see.
  • The best/3 best players (or groups) will be rewarded with great item packs and/or skins. You definitely won't play for nothing! (and for those that will most probably ask: yes, a few Advanced Power Armors might be given at such occasions.)

Bringing roleplay and provoking funny moments is always a plus. We count on you to make us dream! ;)

Links to challenges threads will be gathered right here when we start.

Challenges



Whatever the challenge we propose, you can also always show your in-game accomplishments and performances in this forum section. It's always nice to see what's going on in the Wasteland, with videos, screens, texts or even soundtracks. A great text report can be really enjoyable!

  • We will certainly reward the most original and interesting accomplishments posted in this section, and we'll always remain transparent on that subject by making announcements if we do so.
  • Remember that your accomplishments have to be in direct relation with the game. Fan art, for example, as cool as it is and as much as we like it, is not the kind of stuff to be posted in this section, except if it illustrates something concrete that happened in-game.

Links to the most interesting accomplishment threads will be gathered right here.
