Backed in 2017, haven't taken a single look at it (no testing), no videos, nothing. Today will be the first time seeing anything related to this.

After pledging in the Kickstarter and watching things grow ever since I'm so excited to be able to help test in Alpha 2.

as a guide - totally useless; but as a promotional video to get people excited - pretty good!

[Dragnoon]

This guide hypes me even more for this game! I hope every person who is a part of Interpid Studio is as excited as me or even more! Wish you guys all the best!

[kasnz]

This is looking great! Can't wait to get involved!

One thing aside from character movement that I wish Intrepid to work on would be boss interactivity. I'm not expecting Monster Hunter level of epicness, but at least some visible terrain damage/player collision knockback and stomp damage would be greatly appreciated. And for the love of god, please don't let the boss spin around its axis while changing targets, like there's no tomorrow (and physics).

One of the high polished feature in WoW since vanilla was walking animation, which was amazing smooth. I haven't seen the same level of polish in any other MMO, which i think is a huge part, because you are seeing you and other people walking all the time. And i hope it will be polished in this game, because its hard to watch it rn.

I’m noticing that your weapon doesn’t show when you’re mounted. Is this a feature that you will add? I feel like 30-40% of traveling from point a to point B in any mmo is gonna be on a mount. So it super immersion breaking and kinda of bummer to grind a legendary weapon and have it disappear when your get on you mount. Can you have a toggle on and off for this feature to also keep that players who don’t wanna see their weapons happy too.

Can't wait to play! Been waiting for years

[aockrewshi]

As someone who has been following the project since 2017, its kinda wild to see how far you guys have come
Cant wait for A2 :)

[Nyce-Gaming]

[RufyTheDemon]

[Lanfearr]

I remember this music at the end from the Ashes of Creation Apocalypse, sounds quite nice. Can't wait for Alpha 2!

[TexasRed]

Preordered years ago and only half way kept up with development, I need a real guide lol so hyped

[ezenkrul]

Definitely looking forward to hopping in..but won't be making it until November. <3

[Stlit]

To be serious in terms of really looking forward to this game, VFX should be much more advanced than it is now, or very many people won't

[AverageYTer]

The community has reached a point where we are complaining that this video is titled “guide” rather than “intro” to A2.

One thing I’m learning is that people will just always complain..

[Audio_Otaku]

:45 homie pulling up to the city with that "I gatta go poop so bad" strut.

[word_dog]

I wonder how they'll deal with all the alpha testers who are expecting a good game, who will then realize the alpha isn't fun... because it's an alpha.

[Yushaodo]

The word cyclops is an ancient noun for "colossus"

And later a reference to a one eyed giant race of humans
(And also a one eyed fish)

But root word is
Cy = Denote
Clops = Hoove banging noise

So if you stuck to your logic of what a cyclops is, you arise to a "Noisy Hoove Denote"
Or
Cyclops root word meaning = a symbol of loudness

So a combination of all meanings is ...

A single colossal symbol of loudness akin to a horse running on rocks
