Ashes of Creation‘s Alpha Two realms just received a new update on February 6, 2025, bringing a mix of bug fixes, gameplay tweaks, and quality-of-life improvements.
One of the standout changes is the fix to Cleric abilities; Divine Power will no longer be removed when toggling Divine Infusion, and healing spells can finally crit like they are supposed to. Guild systems have also been adjusted, making it easier to level up and reducing the Glint cost for guild commodities, which should make progression feel much better.
For PvP fans, Corrupted players will now respawn farther away from important areas like Lionhold and Samia’s Hope, giving others a bit of breathing room. Also, the notorious NPC out-of-combat regen has been temporarily removed!
