Alpha 2 impressions from a guild member

Hey everybody I am hellfiregungnir in game. I play on the server Arioch with the guild. This is what I think about alpha 2, and a little big about the guild from my view.

Firstly, about the guild, Irkallu. I have been in this guild for several years now and its been a fun time - I have met some really nice/fun people in here and I hope I can be a part of this guild for many more years. Even some people who I play different games with as well. 

I feel like I have my own spot in the guild, and try to speak with everybody so everybody knows me. I know everybody, mostly because I have ADHD, so I can be a bit... lets say hyper and loud. Also, when I joined i didn't have access to alpha, 1 but did have alpha 2 access because of a bundle I bought - so I am now happy playing in alpha 2, discovering bugs and just having a good time with my guild mates. 

About the alpha

First, the alpha is a alpha. Its absolutely not perfect - there have been funny bugs (swimming under the world) and not so fun bugs (like stuff just randomly being deleted from storage).

I have been mostly been gathering in the alpha (level 25 mining and mostly 2 levels in everything) and so far it's been fun, even though it's so dangerous. Mostly because some mobs are in the middle of the road, aand can one shot you if you are a low level.

For one, there are rock elementals near Miraleth that two-shot me at level 10 and almost 2000 HP. I know it's not a lot, but if you walk there at level 5... well rip. Then there are the wolves... those annoying little shits! It's better now, but at first they would chase you across the map like some kind of blood hound with you in its eyes.

Crafting

The crafting also gets kinda more complicated when you can mine the tier 2 materials, because for a slate armour mold you need:

So I am afraid, and excited about the upper tier crafting. 

Community

The community in the Arioch server is one of the least toxic there I have seen in a MMO so far (even if i haven't played that much MMOs). It's very welcoming, chill and everybody helps each other,. Even the mayors work together to make sure no node makes the same building (like 2 times woodcutting and that kinda stuff). There is also the server discord were people just talk about everything, even in the week (when the servers are down in the phase 1). They talk about special node chats for the work orders, commissions and more.

War

Everybody is trying their best to try out systems, like that node war between Miraleth and Winstead that went haywire because of a bug. It lasted for i think 2-3 weekends? I am not even sure if its resolved at the moment XD

At the time that war started I wasn't level 10 (you need level 10 for citizenship) so I couldn't join. 

I decided to go for citizenship in Miraleth after the war is resolved, but because I don't know if its resolved I am still without citizenship. But, I stlil try to help the node with materials and stuff. I also remember doing some mining when I saw something is chat that a French guild took a part of the map and claimed it - some people were screaming and calling for blood, so I think that French guild got steamrolled by a lot of people from the server. I was also in VC with 2 others from the guild at that time, so we had a good laugh about that. But thats everything I know from that event XD

Overall

Overall, the alpha 2 phase 1 has been a fun time for me with laughing and raging at some bugs, and then wanting to report them but forgetting it. I feel like the devs really care for the game, and I am still going to support the game through the whole development. I am gonna try to remember to report the bugs! I am also looking forward to phase 2, looking for more bugs with new systems, maybe new people joining the guild... and to the good times that are to come. 

This is what i think of the alpha 2, and somethings that I find interesting, together with the fun things.

Also gratz if you did read this all you deserve a cookie :D
