Aperçu de la refonte du site web de Ashes of Creation (WIP).[1]

Ashes of Creation prend place dans un cadre médiéval fantastique, mêlant imagination et graphismes de pointe. Nous remettons le mot massif au centre du "massivement multijoueur" avec des mécanismes uniques et novateurs qui donneront un sens à l'action des joueurs. Ashes of Creation intégrera les meilleurs éléments des MMORPG traditionnels avec des concepts sandbox innovants. Vous choisirez votre destin à chaque occasion. Les lignes de quêtes s'ouvriront et se fermeront en fonction des interactions des joueurs avec leur monde, car il s'agit d'un monde où les choix ont des conséquences. Des monstres errent et deviennent de plus en plus féroces à mesure que la civilisation perturbe l'ordre naturel des choses. De l'emplacement des villes à leur taille, vous déterminerez le paysage de votre monde. Il sera unique par sa culture, son écologie et son économie.[2]

Ashes of Creation est un MMORPG à venir qui se déroule dans un monde de "haute fantaisie" où les différents choix des joueurs façonnent et définissent le monde qui les entoure.[3]

Ashes of Creation à une approche unique de l'expérience MMO. La structure de notre monde est dynamique et conçue pour réagir aux actions de nos joueurs. Les cités s'élèveront et s'effondreront, leurs populations étant basées sur l'histoire du monde telle que les joueurs l'ont créée. Les quêtes se débloquent au fur et à mesure que ces populations grossissent, que leurs besoins augmentent et que des secrets soient révélés. Étant donné que l'environnement des PNJ à travers le jeu est établie en temps réel, les joueurs auront donc la possibilité de détruire ce qu'ils ont créé, ouvrant la voie à un nouveau développement, à de nouvelles populations et à un véritable changement. Les luttes et intrigues politiques joueront un rôle très important dans la structure de votre monde. L'époque des mondes statiques est révolue, le changement est là pour rester.[2]

Le nom original du projet pour Ashes of Creation était The World of Origins.[4]

Nœuds

Un Nœud Métropole lors de la pré-alpha.[5]

Les Nœuds ont un emplacement prédéfini, entourés d'une zone d'influence dans notre monde qui peuvent prendre la forme de villes de différentes tailles. Ces tailles vont d'un petit camp à une métropole étendue. La taille des villes dépend de la contribution des joueurs et de la progression du Nœud. Les joueurs ne créent pas l'empreinte d'un Nœud, mais dans cette empreinte, ils ont la possibilité de posséder des terres. Les joueurs qui font partie du gouvernement d'un Nœud spécifique auront la possibilité de modifier davantage les types de bâtiments et les services, mais la plupart du temps, un Nœud se développera le long de son propre chemin spécifique (pensez davantage à des PNJs construisant ces villes, plutôt qu’à des joueurs érigeant individuellement des bâtiments et des murs). La zone de contribution d'un Nœud est plus grande que la ville elle-même, ce qui permet aux joueurs de partir à l'aventure tout en offrant leur appui à la ville. Nous appelons la zone de contribution la "zone d'influence" du Nœud et c'est la zone où les joueurs aident à faire progresser le Nœud dans lequel ils se trouvent.[6]

Concept art d'un Nœud.[7]

Au sein de chaque serveur sont soigneusement placés des points de développement appelés Nœuds.[3]

Il y aura 103 emplacements de nœuds ordinaires lors de la sortie, en plus de 15 nœuds de châteaux (5 châteaux x 3 nœuds de châteaux chacuns)[8][9][10] pour un total de 118 nœuds.[11][12]

Les Nœuds sont le cœur du monde, ils créent le flux et le reflux de la vie. Ce sont des lieux prédéfinis, entourés d'une zone d'influence et de zones géographiques changeant au fil du temps selon la participation des joueurs. La carte du monde est divisée en plusieurs régions, chaque région contenant plusieurs Nœuds. Au fur et à mesure qu'un Nœud progresse, il influence les types de contenus en son enceinte et dans les zones environnantes. Les joueurs ne créent pas de Nœuds, mais s'ils font partie du gouvernement d'un Nœud spécifique, ils ont la possibilité d'influencer la diplomatie et de modifier les types de bâtiments/constructions ainsi que les services au sein de ce Nœud. Il y aura 103 emplacements de Nœuds au lancement, chacun ayant leur propre impact sur le récit et le développement du monde.[11] – Margaret Krohn

Avancement de Nœud

Cette traduction est peut-être obsolète
Illustration d'un Avancement de Nœud depuis l'étape sauvage (étape 0) vers l'étape Métropole (étape 6).

Les Nœuds avancent en collectant de l'expérience depuis les actions des joueurs proches. Lorsque les joueurs complètent des activités à l'intérieur d'une Zone d'Influence d'un Nœud (la zone autour du Nœud), ils contribuent cette expérience vers le développement du Nœud. L'expérience reçue par le Nœud peut être ensuite modifiée en fonction de certains événements et accomplissements. Lorsqu'un Nœud atteint l'expérience requise, il entreprend le processus d'avancement à l'étape suivante. Il existe quelques exceptions où un Nœud ne peut pas avancer même s'il a l'expérience requise - la plupart du temps, un Nœud ne peut pas avancer si ce Nœud est un Vassal d'un autre Nœud tentant d'avancer à la même étape que son Nœud parent.[15] – Margaret Krohn

Les activités des joueurs citoyens et des non-citoyens (quêtes, récolte, raids, etc.) à l'intérieur de la ZI d'un nœud participe à son avancement(progression).[3] Les Nœuds ont sept (7) étapes d'avancement, avec des paliers d'expérience pour chaque étape. Lorsqu'un Nœud atteint l'expérience requise de son étape actuelle, il avance à l'étape suivante.[11]

Étape de Nœud.[3] Nom alternatif.[16] Période pour avancer.[3] Habitation de joueur.[17]
0. Sauvage -
1. Expédition Croisée des chemins Quelques heures -
2. Campement Camp Nombreuses heures -
3. Village - Quelques jours Petites maisons
4. Ville - Nombreux jours Maisons moyennes
5. Cité - Quelques semaines Grandes maisons
6. Métropole Metro Nombreuses semaines Manoirs

La zone de développement d'un Nœud est l'endroit où la civilisation apparaîtra lorsque le Nœud avancera. Lorsque l'étape de Nœud augmente, différents bâtiments, PNJs, et services deviendront disponibles dans la zone de Développement. Plus l'étape de Nœud est élevée, plus la Zone de Développement deviendra complexe et peuplée. Les Zones de développement varient également en fonction du Type de Nœud - Economique, Militaire, Scientifique, ou Divin ; nous entrerons dans les détails sur chacun de ces Types de Nœuds dans de futures articles dans cette série.[15] – Margaret Krohn

Illustration conceptuelle. Les Nœuds à l'intérieur d'une ZI d'autres nœuds plus avancés ont leur progression bloquée par un nœud plus avancé.[18] Les ZI auront sans doute des formes irrégulières dans le jeu, les cercles représentés ici servent uniquement à illustrer l'intention.

A partir de la 3e étape de Nœud, lorsqu'un nœud avance, il asservit les autres Nœuds proches et les transforme en vassaux. Les Nœuds vassaux sont possédés par le Nœud Parent et seront toujours au moins une étape de Nœud en dessous du Nœud Parent. Cela signifie qu'un Nœud Vassal ne peut plus grandir tant que le Nœud Parent n'a pas avancé à l'étape suivante. Les Nœuds Vassaux redistribuent le surplus d'expérience à leur Nœud Parent, et sont capables d'avoir leurs propres Vassaux, tant qu'ils se trouvent encore à l'intérieur de la Zone d'Influence de leur Nœud Parent. Ils sont dépendants du gouvernement, des alliances, guerres, taxes, et commerce de leur Nœud Parent, et peuvent recevoir des aides fédérales de leur part. Un Nœud Vassal ne peut pas déclarer la guerre à son Nœud Parent, ni à ses Vassaux. Les Citoyens Vassaux sont liés aux états diplomatiques de leur Nœud Parent.[11] – Margaret Krohn

L'avancement d'un nœud débloque son contenu unique, au prix du verrouillage de la progression d'avancement des nœuds voisins.[19]

  • Les Nœuds avancent à la première étape rapidement. Ceci permet de débloqué des services de PNJ tel que des vendeurs ou des objets de Banque.[20]
  • Plus le Nœud est avancé, plus sa ZI devient large.[5]
  • Les Nœuds moins avancés (appelés ici Nœuds vassaux) qui appartiennent à une ZI d'un Nœud plus avancé peuvent toujours gagner de l'EXP, mais resteront à une étape d'avancement plus basse que le nœud dominant.[18]
    • Le système de Vassalité débute lorsqu'un nœud atteint l'étape 3 (village), toutefois les nœuds voisins en dessous de l'étape 3 bloquent également la croissance de leurs voisins immédiats.[21]
  • Due à la manière dont l'algorythme de progression calcule l'expansion territoriale de la (ZI) lors de l'avancement d'un nœud, il existe une faible possibilité que deux nœuds à la même étape d'avancement se retrouve proche l'un de l'autre.[22]
    • L'algorythme d'expansion de territoire prend en compte la côte la plus proche, les nœuds voisins, et la carte de chaleur des joueurs des zones alentours des dernières semaines ou mois.[23]

Normalement l'algorithme qui est appliqué à l'expansion territoriale d'un nœud devrait empêcher les nœuds importants de se retrouver proche les uns des autres... Il pourrait toutefois y avoir un concours de circonstance où tous les algorythmes de progression de territoire ammènent à la situation où ces nœuds se retrouve proche les uns des autres car il existe certains pré-requis qui doivent être disponible pour satisfaire l'acquisition de nœuds vassaux ; et il est possible que deux nœuds ne se prennent pas en tant que vassaux les uns les autres et se retrouvent plutôt proches et étendent leurs territoires dans des directions opposées : Le Conte de deux Cités si on veut.[22] – Steven Sharif

  • Un Nœud ne reçoit pas d'EXP des autres nœuds à l'intérieur de sa ZI tant que ces nœuds n'ont pas atteint leurs limites.[18]
  • Les joueurs sont déplacés à l'abri s'ils intersectent avec des nouveaux objets apparaissants lors de l'avancement d'un nœud.[24]
  • Les citoyens d'un nœud peuvent contribuer à l'avancement d'autres nœuds.[25]
  • Le pourcentage exact d'avancement en obtenant des objets ou en tuant des monstres ne sera pas connu explicitement pour éviter de "jouer" avec le système.[26]

Différentes personnes ont investies différentes ressources la progression d'un nœud et il serait un peu trop "facile" s'il était possible de savoir exactement ce qui est nécessaire à ce moment-là car celà découragerais les gens de participer.[26] – Steven Sharif

Sièges de Nœuds

Sièges de Nœuds (Extraits de la Pre-alpha).[27]

Tandis que certaines zones dans le monde vont grandir, d'autres vont tomber. C'est la fondation du monde vivant, respirant qu'est Ashes of Creation, où les joueurs auront la possibilité de prendre des décisions importantes qui impacteront la longévité d'une zone qui se développera en ville, ou au contraire assiéger une ville rivale. Relevez-vous des cendres, créez le monde qui vous entoure, et faites partis de l'histoire qui se déroulera grâce à vos actions et vos décisions.[15] – Margaret Krohn

Les Sièges de Nœuds permettent aux joueurs de détruire des nœuds.[15] Cela pavera le chemin pour de nouveaux développements et accéder au contenu verrouillé dans les nœuds alentours. Grâce à cette dynamique, les conflits politiques et les intrigues jouent un rôle important dans la structure du monde.[3]

Assiéger les nœuds ne sera pas une tâche facile pour les attaquants. Les Cités et Métropoles auront un avantage défensif considérable.[3]

Si vous possédez une maison dans un nœud et que vous ne souhaitez pas la voire détruite, vous devriez défendre la ville ![28] – Steven Sharif

Les nœuds peuvent régresser en niveau basé sur l'Atrophie de Nœud.[15]

Combat

Gameplay de combat JcJ lors de l'Alpha-1 castle sieges.[29]
Combat JcE lors de l'avant-première de l'Alpha-1[30]

Le combat est le système le plus palpable du jeu. C'est la chose que vous allez expérimenter le plus souvent; et en dehors du système et des mécanismes qui vont être présentes dans l'entièreté des fonctionnalités de base du gameplay, le combat doit d'être réactif. Il ne doit pas donner un effet flottant. Il doit être ressenti comme mobile. Il faut que ce soit fluide. Il se doit de donner un sentiment de satisfaction. Le son, les effets, les animations, les types de compétences et toutes ces choses : tout cela est vraiment notre objectif pour affiner notre approche sur le combat dans Ashes of Creation.[31] – Steven Sharif

Le combat dans Ashes of Creation se concentre sur la stratégie et la tactique.[32]

  • Il s'agit du système le plus palpable du jeu. Il se doit d'être ressenti comme réactif, mobile et fluide. Il se doit de donner un sentiment de satisfaction. [31]

Nous voulons que le combat soit engageant, amusant... Actuellement nous avons débuté le sprint vers la première phase de déploiement de l'Alpha-1, donc nous nous penchons vraiment sur l'aspect action du combat et nous développons des systèmes en ce sens. La raison pour laquelle nous faisons cela c'est parce que le tab-targeting (système de ciblage automatisé par la touche tab) est depuis très longtemps un élément de base aux MMORPG, même si maintenant il y a un grand intérêt pour l'action dans les MMORPG et qu'il y a eu des titres à succès orientés vers l'action, comme TERA et BDO. Nous voulons vraiment nous plonger pleinement dans ce développement pour comprendre davantage comment fusionner le tab-targeting et l'action-combat dans un même jeu, car ce sont deux styles de jeu très différents.[33] – Steven Sharif

Un remaniment du système de combat sera déployé durant et après le test de l'Alpha-1.[34][35]

  • Les tests de l'Alpha-1 sont initialement axés sur les fonctionnalités de base plutôt que sur l'équilibrage du combat.[36].

Factions

Cette traduction est peut-être obsolète

Il n'y a pas de factions prédéfinies dans Ashes of Creation.[37]

Nous offrons au joueur ces événements de friction légère et ensuite cela détermine qui sont vos amis et vos ennemis.[38] – Steven Sharif

Parce que nous ne sommes pas basés sur des factions, vous voulez accorder à l'utilisateur la possibilité de faire des choses qui sont soit « mauvaises » soit « bonnes », donc il doit y avoir une pléthore de choix du côté maléfique auxquels participer.[39] – Steven Sharif

Open world

Alpha-1 open world dungeon entrance.[40]

80% of the content that will exist in Ashes of Creation is open-world and there's a specific reason for that. So because of the way that friendships and or enemies are forged in the game and people have the opportunity to create their own friends or foes. We want that to play out from a contesting standpoint as well. So a lot of these hunting grounds or raid bosses that people are going to have opportunities to kill, they're going to be essentially contested potentially by your your enemies that you've created in the game or you can work together to create alliances in order to defend those contested zones.[41] – Steven Sharif

Ashes of Creation will be a seamless open-world experience.[42]

  • No loading time or loading screens between regions.[42]

There will be an approximately 80/20 split between open world vs instanced encounters.[43][44][41][45][46]

  • Around 80% of the content is open-world, where healthy competition is an instigator for player friction; for potential cooperation; for the ability to yield alliances; and the political theater that comes with it. This is an intended part of the PvX design of Ashes of Creation.[43][47][44]
In situations where we want to contain a particular type of raid, we will utilize instancing; and that can protect certain engagements with certain bosses. But that's really more on the 20% of the scenarios will have instancing protection like that. Around 80% of the content is open-world, where competition is- healthy competition is an instigator for soft player friction; for potential cooperation; for the ability to yield alliances; and the political theater that comes with it. So that's an intended part of the PvX design of Ashes. It's a core philosophical point. And just to be clear, that is not for everyone. We are not trying to make a product that appeals to every MMO gamer. That's impossible; and so we've been very upfront and forthright with what we are trying to accomplish and what our core pillars of philosophical design are.[44] – Steven Sharif
  • Castle and node sieges may contain instanced locations where specific groups can participate in certain objective-based waypoints.[48]
  • Donjons and raids will maintain an open world feel while also capitalizing on the benefits of instanced mechanics.[49] Instancing is only going to happen in certain dungeons where the desire is to have greater narrative appeal.[44][50] Outside of these and arenas there will not be too much instancing anywhere else.[42]
There will be some open dungeons that have bosses at the end of the dungeons. There will be some open dungeons that just have a multitude of dungeon bosses, not necessarily world raids or something; and there will be lots of different rooms and they'll be progressive in the sense that in the earlier parts of the dungeon they'll be lower level and then at the later parts of the dungeons deeper down they'll be higher level and more difficult; and that creates again I think an ecosystem of where players across a multitude of levels have an opportunity to coexist within certain areas of the world; and that's good from a social dynamic. It's good from a recruitment dynamic. It's good from just a liveliness and relevance of particular areas. So that you don't end up with these locations that once you pass a certain level like it's empty.[51] – Steven Sharif
We're probably going to do instancing only in certain dungeons and in arenas. You probably won't see instancing too much anywhere else. What you see is gonna be what you get.[42] – Jeffrey Bard

The PvP flagging and corruption system is in place to safeguard against griefing without limiting opportunities for open conflict.[53][44][54]

  • Healthy competition is seen as an instigator for player friction; for potential cooperation; for the ability to yield alliances; and the political theater that comes with it. This is an intended part of the PvX design of Ashes of Creation.[53][44]
  • This friction presents an opportunity to engage in the political aspects of the game, which is the lifeblood of what keeps players interested and invested in the game.[53][44][51]
Q: When you reach the bosses in [open world] dungeons can you be jumped?
A: For the most part if there are bosses at the end of dungeons, it is possible for you to get jumped.[51] – Steven Sharif
Q: In an open world dungeon, what prevents others from just waiting until you're at the boss and then killing you and taking your boss's loot? What prevents mega guilds from just owning an area and preventing you from accessing or enjoying it?
A: In a majority of cases, we do not want to prevent another group from engaging potentially in PvP. We disincentivize it by creating safeguards within the flagging system that make that decision very concerning for the people that might go corrupt; and if you're in the large enough group of numbers I doubt you're going to experience that unless there's some rivalry between guilds. In which case there's apparatuses like Guild Wars that are more opt-in. You can drop guild tag if you want. But anyways, the competitive nature of this environment is a PvX element.[44] – Steven Sharif

JcE

Alpha-1 Elder Dragon of the Tundra raid boss.[55]

The environment in Ashes of Creation is a visually stunning realm, with fantastical beasts and creations designed to both inspire awe and instill fear. The world is harsh and unforgiving, presenting a clear and present danger to the players. Dungeons, demons and dragons, oh MY! Our unique and adaptive AI means that an encounter with similar creatures will yield a completely different experience to adapt to as a player. Keeping you on your toes for constantly changing responses from your adversary. The world awaits its heroes.[56]

Elder Dragon of the Wood raid boss gameplay.[57]

Whenever you have a player versus environment setting you don't want a stagnant overly repetitive because its lackluster. It does not have that a component that engages.[58] – Steven Sharif

The Node system facilitates the generation of new JcE content such as Quêtes, Donjons, Raids and Pièces de Monstres.[59]

There is going to be a lot of PvE content for all portions of the playerbase... Part of that risk versus reward: Your risk is your time you're putting in to having a chance at getting the reward and successfully completing; and that should feel good based on how much time you devote. Now I know that there's a spectrum of casual and hard-core players in the time there, what we can do, but that's why we have many different content paths that play towards how you affect the world around you.[60] – Steven Sharif

JcE content adapts to the development of the world to avoid repetition.[58]

JcJ

info-orange.pngCertaines des informations suivantes n'ont pas été récemment confirmées par les développeurs et peuvent ne pas figurer sur la feuille de route de développement actuelle.
Gameplay de combats JcJ dans un siège de château de l'Alpha-1.[29]
Combats JcJ autour d'une caravane en monde ouvert dans l'Alpha-1.[61]

Le combat entre joueurs dans Ashes of Creation est à la fois vaste et intime. Il couvre de nombreux aspects du jeu lui-même. Des grandes batailles politiques tenues dans les champs de vastes châteaux, aux conflits en monde ouvert menés pour la fierté des Chefs de Guilde. Un joueur peut choisir de participer au destin du monde en influençant le cours de la bataille avec ses prouesses au combat. Nos mécaniques PvP suivent un système de marquage, ainsi que des zones PvP statiques à certains points d'intérêt ; combattez pour le contrôle de villes, châteaux, caravanes ou terrains de chasse. Notre PvP est conçu pour offrir aux joueurs un monde bien équilibré et équitable à façonner par la plume, ou l'épée s'ils le choisissent.[56]

Le JcJ est le catalyseur du changement dans Ashes of Creation.[62] Le combat JCJ (combat joueur contre joueur) est destiné à être significatif, allant des batailles de caravanes à de vastes conflits en monde ouvert menés pour la fierté des Rois et Reines.[59]

Puisque les joueurs sont motivés par différentes choses, parce qu'ils veulent quelque chose du jeu que d'autres joueurs ne veulent pas, cela va causer des conflits. Différents joueurs vont vouloir différentes expériences et le conflit entre eux créera quelque chose de plus grand et meilleur. De la lutte naît la renaissance et c'est un symbole central, un thème central qui se produit tout au long du jeu.[28] – Jeffrey Bard
  • La majorité des joueurs feront l'expérience du JcJ à travers des champs de bataille basés sur des objectifs avec participation volontaire. Ce sont des rencontres à haut risque et à haute récompense qui n'utilisent pas le système de corruption.[63][64][65][66]

En voici quelques exemples :

Juste parce que notre système de marquage donne de la corruption aux PK, cela ne signifie pas que le PvP ne se produira pas. Il y a plein de raisons pour que le PvP ait lieu en monde ouvert.[67] – Steven Sharif
Q: Avez-vous envisagé une zone/aire PvP à haut enjeu de perte de butin dans le monde de Verra ?
A: Nous ne l'avons pas fait ; et la raison en est que nos systèmes PvP actuels permettent déjà un risque matériel essentiellement soit à travers le système de marquage soit à travers d'autres systèmes PvP basés sur des événements avec participation volontaire.[77] – Steven Sharif

Les archétypes tels que Tank et barde sont viables dans le JcJ grâce à la philosophie de conception "pierre-papier-ciseaux", où chaque classe est naturellement forte contre certaines compositions de compétences.[78]

Equipement

Cette traduction est peut-être obsolète

Il pourra y avoir de l'équipement lié (BoE ou BoP) mais ça sera plutôt l'exception que la règle, puisque ça n'encourage pas les objectifs pour l'économie.[79]

A lot of what we experienced in games that usually come before us is that many things are account bound and they're soulbound to your character... Instead very little here is character bound. Very very little. The vast majority of gear- yes you will get quest related gear as rewards- but it won't be let's say one set in one dungeon and you must run the dungeon over and over. Instead we want to really emphasize the reliance on the economy and crafters and gatherers and processors to support a majority of the gear structure in-game, combined with that of world raid bosses and dungeon bosses; not a repetitive quest line through a single dungeon.[81] – Steven Sharif

Armes and armor are not race locked, but armor will take on a racial appearance.[84][85]

Weapon types

Different weapon types offer different passive skills and proc effects from their weapon skill tree as well as different waterfall stats.[87]

The following weapon types are not equippable by players in the MMO.

Races

Eight of the nine races in Ashes of Creation.[112]

Ashes of Creation offre 9 races jouables.[113]

Parent race Races
Aela Humans Kaelar.[113] Vaelune.[113]
Dünzenkell Dwarves Dünir.[113] Niküa.[113]
Kaivek Orcs Ren'Kai.[113] Vek.[113]
Pyrian Elves Empyrean.[113] Py'Rai.[113]
Tulnar.[114]

Verra est un monde aux cultures riches et diverses. Une grande partie de son histoire importante a été dominée par les races principales. Les Humains de la côte et des plaines, les Orcs dans les collines et les marais, les Elfes de la forêt et des rivières, et les estimés Nains des montagnes. Les grandes races ont dominé à travers d'innombrables guerres et escarmouches entre les races mineures de Verra. Des décennies peuvent s'écouler entre ces flambées de violence. Il existe de nombreuses races mineures sur Verra. Certaines races mineures existent dans des villages ou des tribus de fortune, si vous voulez. Certains des principaux villages parmi les races mineures sont composés principalement de géants, de sectes moins réputées d'Humains, de Gnomes et d’Halfelins. Les Halfelins ne sont pas des Halfelins au sens traditionnel mais en fait des sang-mêlés de races différentes..[115] – Steven Sharif

Errant dans les endroits les plus sombres du monde se trouvent de véritables abominations sinistres de la création. Les grandes églises de civilisation envoient souvent des héros de l'État pour éliminer ces menaces contre les mortels. Il existe actuellement quatre grandes nations sur Verra. C'est 25 ans à peu près avant la chute: l'Empire Aelan, le Royaume Pyrian, le Protectorat Kaivek et la nation de Dünzenkell. Il n'y a pas toujours eu seulement quatre grandes nations. Il y a longtemps, les races étaient davantage divisées en plusieurs nations et cités-états.[116] – Steven Sharif

Au cours des 7 000 ans d'histoire attestée, des guerres après guerres ont été menées. Certaines pour la terre, d'autres pour les ressources, beaucoup pour les croyances. Les maisons royales se sont levées et sont tombées au fil des ans. Certaines sont désormais dépourvues de seigneurie. De nombreuses cités-États existent à Verra. Certaines semblables à des bastions autogérés de la démocratie et des républiques. D'autres sont des États vassaux à l'ordre de leurs bienfaiteurs.[117] – Steven Sharif

Religions

Religious temple in a Métropole node.[5]

Il y a six religions principales ainsi qu'une religion de l'Underrealm.[118][119]

  • La religion est envisagée comme étant une source de motivation et non d'esthétique.[120]
  • Choisir une religion permet au joueur de suivre un chemin lumineux ou sombre.[121]

Nous parlons ici d'un panthéon, pas nécessairement de religions distinctes. Il y a toutes sortes de ramifications sur qui est le meilleur dieu, ou quel est le dieu qui vous correspond le mieux.[121] – Jeffrey Bard

Histoire et traditions

Ashes of Creation logo.[125]

Ashes of Creation is a direct reference to the storyline. Without giving too much away, the phoenix is going to be a persistent symbol throughout the first phase of the storyline, and the world that the players will be inhabiting is a long-lost world that has suffered devastating calamity.[126] – Jeffrey Bard

The Phoenix is the celestial avatar of the Goddess of creation. Her sacrifice protected the people of Verra during the apocalypse.[127] – Steven Sharif

There are different parts to the Histoire et traditions in Ashes of Creation.[128]

It is about mythology and discovering what truths mythologies are talking about and finding out what really happened on this world so long ago; and that's part of that discovery process; and we want people to feel that throughout the game, not just in terms of lore but in terms of the world itself.[129] – Jeffrey Bard

Arcs Narratifs drive one or more storyline quests within the game.[130][131][132][133][128] Story arcs branch into different stories with multiple possible endings depending on the quest objectives that players complete during each chapter.[130][131][133]

We're keeping lore very close to the chest and the reason for that is because it is very rich. It is diverse. It will have applications outside of just the MMORPG. We intend to take it much further, but I want it to be something that the players get to reveal themselves, that's not just handed to them and then the experience is lost. They should feel when they're experiencing this that it relates to them on a personal level.[134] – Steven Sharif

Piliers de conception

The design of Ashes of Creation adheres to five main pillars.[135]

  1. Histoire engageante et immersive
  2. Monde réactif
  3. Interaction joueur
  4. Agence de joueur
  5. Risk vs reward

In designing Ashes of Creation, we adhere every detail to five main pillars: Engaging and Immersive Story, a Reactive World, Player Interaction, Player Agency, and Risk vs Reward. Even in the environment, everything you as the player do will tie into these pillars, while everything your guild does, everything your server does will ultimately keep the world fresh, ever-changing, and most importantly... exciting.[135]

Inspiration

Cette traduction est peut-être obsolète

Ashes of Creation puise son inspiration dans plusieurs MMORPGS.[136]

Lorsque l'on s'interroge sur ce qui a été fait avant, on regarde toujours qui a fait quoi le mieux et on essaie de s'en inspirer: Faire avancer le genre; mettre les choses au goût du jour.[136] – Jeffrey Bard

Open development

Intrepid Studios has embraced an open (transparent) development approach, rather than sharing information through carefully curated press releases and announcements.[137]

Player feedback is important, however the identity and the vision of the game is not up for discussion; and so when we talk about the core systems and tenets and philosophies behind what the game that we're trying to make is, we believe that the game we are trying to make resonates with a large enough section of the MMORPG player base that it is a sustainable and profitable venture for us to create that core game. Now, the ancillary systems that live around the core philosophy of Ashes of Creation, or the subtleties and what we need to do in order to make a particular system or feature better... that we want to collect player feedback.[139] – Steven Sharif
  • Some game aspects will be more polished than others before they are presented.[142]
The delicate blend between a transparent development process, but also understanding that [the] majority of your player audience will not grasp, or will not take into context, what a work in progress looks like. So certain things we have to polish to the point where they're presentable; where they can be understood- again in its own context without my verbal support or Margaret's verbal support.[142] – Steven Sharif
I think that we live in an age where it's easy to be transparent if you're not trying to hide something. The downside is if you're showing something that's not a completed or finished product, it is incumbent upon the viewer to understand that fact.[137] – Steven Sharif
  • The purpose of transparent development is to enable participation and feedback from the community without the need to purchase access.[143]
The whole purpose of our development process being transparent being open is that you don't have to buy a package actually to participate. You can be a voice from the community. You can observe people playing. You can give your experiences and feedback.[143] – Steven Sharif
I don't answer to a board. I don't answer to a publisher. We answer to our players; and we try to be as transparent as possible with showing our progress; and showing it in a timely manner.[144] – Steven Sharif
  • Certain aspects of the game will not be revealed early to avoid spoilers.[145][146]
There are obviously going to be some aspects of the development that we will not reveal, like lore and some system mechanics in order not to spoil the game for release.[145] – Steven Sharif

Payment model

Box cost

Cette traduction est peut-être obsolète

Il n'y a rien à payer d'avance pour accéder à Ashes of Creation.[147]

Subscription model

Game time was previously purchasable in Packs de précommande.[148][149]

This allows us to avoid the pay to win mentality many free-to-play games employ, as well as maintain a steady flow of new content for all our players.[150]

Ashes of Creation (the MMORPG) is a subscription-only game with no box cost.[150]

Certain regions will have "harmonized" subscription prices that better reflect their local economies. Harmonized regions will be segregated from other regions.[153] – Ry Schueller
  • Subscriptions will begin at launch or, subject to change, a user may be able to choose to activate their subscription to start at a particular point in time.[159]
I think a sub cost provides both the barrier of entry to prevent, some not all, but mitigate some gold selling bots and whatnot because there's a cost associated with playing the game, but it's also not too high that it gets on the greedy side or prevents a lot of players from participating and trying the game; and then if the game is good then people will continue to subscribe and that subscription provides funding and revenue for the developers to continue a significant content creation and expansion rollout for the game.[161] – Steven Sharif
There is no P2W in Apocalypse or the MMORPG![163]

Expansions

DLC expansions (post-launch releases) are planned on a monthly, quarterly, or six-monthly basis.[164][165]

  • New content will primarily be introduced through the node system. The goal is for existing content to remain relevant alongside the new content.[169]
  • Expansions provide an opportunity for the developers to evaluate ways to unlock content that was not readily experienced by players in the previous release.[170]
Each inflection point, which is those updates as expansions... you get to go back reevaluate. Hey, it seems like 89% of the servers out there never opened this door. Well, maybe the predicates were too granular. Maybe they were too focused. Maybe there's a reason why that didn't happen? Let's expand on that for the next expansion so that this content has an opportunity to come out and see the light of day.[170] – Steven Sharif

Pay to win

Ashes of Creation will not be pay to win.[171][161][172]

Ashes of Creation will not be pay to win, that is our pledge to the community. One of the core principles we set forth with Ashes of Creation is a very strong desire to maintain the game's even playing field.[172]
A lot of developers and companies have come along in the past- and I've been hit by this too- and they've said we're not going to have pay-to-win and then boom they roll out some pay-to-win. We have consistently said we won't be pay-to-win and in the pre-orders that we provide and even in the Kickstarter there were absolutely zero pay-to-win components whatsoever. So not only will we talk the talk but we will walk the walk as well.[161] – Steven Sharif
Because we are a non-box purchase game, meaning there is no box price to play Ashes of Creation, it is only a subscription; and that's beneficial because it reduces the barrier of entry and we want a high population obviously; but at the same time one of the ways we augment the revenue flows to sustain constant updates and new chapter releases and additional content within the game is through a cosmetic-only marketplace; and that means absolutely no pay-to-win whatsoever; and that will be adhered to forever.[171] – Steven Sharif

Inventaire slots, RNG loot boxes and XP potions are considered pay-to-win.[173][174][175][176]

We will not use a loot box system for cosmetics either. We currently have a cosmetic store that offers limited time, limited quantity items to help sustain game development. These items are purely decorative and do not offer any in-game benefits.[173]
My definition of pay-to-win is really anything that affects the in-game economy, the in-game action pool, your abilities and/or skills... In my opinion the inventory slots and the XP potions would be considered pay-to-win.[175] – Steven Sharif
  • Items sold in the store that are also obtainable through gameplay are still considered pay-to-win.[180]
It undermines an achievement when you remove the need to achieve it.[180] – Steven Sharif
Q: Will there be RNG boxes?
A: I dislike RNG. Archeage made me loath rng monetization gimmicks.[176] – Steven Sharif

Cosmetic store (micro transactions)

Ashes of Creation cosmetic store.[181]

There is going to be legendary cosmetics that can be earned and achieved in the game through the game systems, but that's going to take a significant amount of effort and work; and those cosmetics are going to be on-par with the cosmetics offered in the marketplace... What that does is it provides additional revenue to the company so that we can continue to fund the development of content as well and bridge the divide that not having a box cost would have and not having any pay-to-win mechanics whatsoever.[161] – Steven Sharif

The Magasin cosmétique enables players to purchase Cosmétiques for use in Ashes of Creation.[182] The cosmetic store offers limited time, limited quantity items to help sustain game development.[183]

Nothing in our shop will ever be pay to win as we believe this practice greatly hurts the MMORPG genre.[184]

  • Cash shop cosmetics will offer a diverse selection of unique looks.[185]

I want to incentivize purchase in the cosmetic shop for sustainability of what expansions we have intended, since we are not a box cost. I want to incentivize purchase by offering limited items: limited time, limited quantity, so you have confidence that when you purchase them, they won't be offered later on in some other way.[183] – Steven Sharif

I don't want cosmetic items that can be purchased from the market to be transferable... because it is in a way a transfer of money for potentially something in-game.[187] – Steven Sharif

Alts

End-game

Ashes of Creation will not have a typical end-game where content is essentially static and repetitive. Instead, max-level characters will be able to engage with many different gameplay loops that open up based on how the world progresses over time.[190][191]

Endgame to me communicates static. It is static structure. Okay, you've entered this loop, now and this is your end-game loop that you will repeat over and over. Whereas instead, the approach for Ashes is you have now reached a point where all of these loops are relevant; and the loops are present to you depending on how the community engages the world. And it's up to you to identify the most promising loops because you have a finite amount of time and resources in which you can engage with them. And that's then where strategy becomes a part of the picture: How will I choose to engage with these loops to maximize my return, or to maximize the specific benefit I wish to bring in individual, group, myself, or guild.[190] – Steven Sharif
Part of the whole experience with nodes is that there is no real end-game, in that the world is constantly shifting every day. Month one is going to be really different from month two; and that's for the level 50s and level 1s.[191] – Jeffrey Bard

ESRB rating

ESRB T rating.
Dead bodies in a Pre-alpha raid encounter.[192]

The aim is for Ashes of Creation to have a T for Teen rating, but it may end up having a M for Mature rating.[193]

  • There may be an option to turn off blood and gore in the game.[194]
  • There probably won't be swearing in quests.[195]

The antagonists in this game are definitely dark... We're not going grimdark at all, but there are parts of it that get that way.[195] – Jeffrey Bard

Game difficulty

Ashes of Creation will be on the higher side of difficulty when it comes to engagements.[196][197][198]

Adventuring is not easy in Ashes... The intent is that encounters are difficult. The world is dangerous. It is not a cakewalk to progress within Ashes.[196] – Steven Sharif

Learning curve

Ashes of Creation will be easy to understand yet hard to master.[199]

My stance on participation trophies is that things should be hard, people should fail, the bitter taste of defeat is what makes success that much more rewarding. Helping other players learn encounter strategy, and fine tuning their play style for high end content is an important part of eliminating participation trophy. Growing together is a good thing, and that include failing together as a means to drive for success together.[200] – Steven Sharif

Target demographic

The developers want Ashes of Creation to appeal to both younger and older generations of MMO gamers.[201]

I think our target demographic, obviously we have a very high graphic fidelity in the game that's attractive to younger players, but at the same time we have a very roleplay game orientation - a a play back to that pen-and-paper Dungeons & Dragons feel that perhaps younger generations may not know but is very near and dear to the hearts of older gamers. So I think we have a broad appeal from a demographic standpoint.[201] – Steven Sharif

Player types

Ashes of Creation will cater for a variety of player types from Raiders or PvPers to Role players and Crafters.[202]

The most compelling design argument for how those different sects of gamers interact with each other is dependant from the design standpoint of interdependencies in the systems. So, for example if as a Raider or as a PvPer you're looking for the best gear, you're going to devote your time towards leveling up and going out and participating in the things you enjoy like pvping, perhaps going for caravans or sieging cities and castles and all that type stuff. If you want the best gear, you're going to have to rely on a person who's devoted their time towards crafting potentially; and they may not be a PvPer but they have a place in your wheelhouse because you need their services. And then that crafter is going to need a person who is either a gatherer or plays the economy as a merchant in the nodes with the auction houses that are regionalized. They're going to have to work with a person who specializes in trade that takes caravans with either mercenary groups or other guilds that are PvPers between the nodes to get the resources they need. Building dependencies on different groups or factions of players that exist within a large world like this MMORPG is what solidifies the bonds that allow for them to exist either harmoniously, or at least in a way that they know you need those types of players.[202] – Steven Sharif

Casual vs. hardcore players

Cette traduction est peut-être obsolète

Les joueurs casuals auront un impact car tout ce qu'ils feront sera nécessaire et bénéfique.[203]

Il y aura des événements dans le monde du jeu sur lesquels les joueurs peuvent avoir un impact et auxquels ils peuvent participer sans être joueurs hardcore. Par exemple, les événements PVE d'attaques de villes; les échanges entre caravanes; ce genre d'événements existent naturellement; comme les sièges de forteresses. Il y a plusieurs systèmes permettant aux joueurs de simplement se connecter, participer, s'amuser, avoir de l'impact et se déconnecter.[203] – Steven Sharif

Mentor program

info-orange.pngCertaines des informations suivantes n'ont pas été récemment confirmées par les développeurs et peuvent ne pas figurer sur la feuille de route de développement actuelle.

There will be a mentorship program where upper-level players are able to benefit from partying and/or helping lower level players; and getting them situated in the game.[191]

There will be activities that are present for higher level players to mentor lower level players. Let's say you have a friend who joins later on and you still want to do things with them, there will be things to do. Will he be able to enter a dungeon of your level and participate? No, because we don't want to inflate or deflate characters and manipulate that type of skill or power. We want that to be something that makes sense for them in a progression standpoint.[205] – Steven Sharif
The mentorship program provides individual quests that can be initiated by the mentor based off of what node that they are part of. So these are like quests that are determined by either certain buildings and/or organizations or the mayor; and there are specific ones that are available for mentors to provide mentees; and they can also participate in some of those quest lines as well: Whether that be leading your mentee through a dungeon or providing a location for them to arrive with you at, or escort quests for the NPC caravans. These types of things, when done together with your mentor, will provide benefits both for the mentor and the mentee as well, so you're incentivized to participate with new players.[204] – Steven Sharif

Equilibre du jeu

The way that the systems are being designed from a balancing standpoint we're taking into account how we would like the nodes to change per-se how often and we've designed attrition systems for certain cultures that may have more dominance over others. These are things that in Alpha and Beta we will be testing and watching and making sure that our objective is achieved from a gameplay standpoint and if it's not we'll come back and recalculate.[206] – Steven Sharif

Class balance

Cette traduction est peut-être obsolète

Les soixante-quatre (64) classes sont décomposées en 8 principaux archétypes. L'équilibrage des compétences actives ne concerne que ces 8 archétypes primaires.[207][208]

  • Il existe 4 principaux groupes d'améliorations assignés à chaque archétype de base. L'équilibrage des améliorations concerne les groupes de chacun des 8 archétypes primaires.[208]

Même si les améliorations changent radicalement les capacités de vos compétences actives, l'accent est toujours mis sur l'archétype de base lui-même et non sur les 64 classes entières.[207] – Steven Sharif

Nous ne parlons pas vraiment de 64 vraies classes, nous parlons de huit classes avec 64 variantes...Il n'y a pas autant de variance entre les 64 classes qu'on pourrait s'y attendre. Ce n'est pas comme s'il y avait 64 versions différentes de... classes radicalement différentes.[207] – Jeffrey Bard

L'équilibrage dans Ashes of Creation est axé sur le jeu en groupe et non sur le combat à 1 contre 1.[207][209]

Il y aura des affrontements à 1 contre 1 où une classe sera supérieure à une autre; et cela prendra la forme d'une dynamique de pierre-papier-ciseaux. Nous voulons qu'il y ait des contres-jeu entre les différentes classes... Au lieu de cela, ce sera un équilibre axé sur le groupe, où tant que la diversité des classes est présente, ce sera un terrain de jeu égal. Cela dépendra beaucoup des compétences et de la stratégie.[209] – Steven Sharif

Certains archétypes secondaires sont capables de "combler le fossé" entre leur homologue.[210]

Certains archétypes sont capables de réduire l'écart entre leur homologue. Si je suis un archétype de Tank et qu'un Mage est mon contre, je peux prendre un secondaire Mage et en quelque sorte combler légèrement le fossé; et ensuite mouvoir mon identité très légèrement dans cette direction.[210] – Steven Sharif

Le test de l'Alpha-1 se concentre initialement sur les fonctionnalités de base plutôt que sur l'équilibrage des combats.[36]

Localization/Translation

Ashes of Creation is aiming to be available in the following languages: English, French, German, Russian, Italian, Polish, Spanish, and Portuguese.[211][212][213][214]

The current plan is for Ashes of Creation to be available in the following languages: English, French, German, Russian, Italian, Polish, Spanish, and Portuguese. Although this may not be the final list of languages we support, we are still looking at which other languages into which the game may be translated.[211]

info-orange.pngCertaines des informations suivantes n'ont pas été récemment confirmées par les développeurs et peuvent ne pas figurer sur la feuille de route de développement actuelle.

Serveurs won't be language locked.[213]

  • There may be separate servers in the EU region based on language type.[212]

Platforms

Ashes of Creation will be released on the Windows PC platform.[217][218]

Q: Will the upgrade to UE5 affect the supported systems? A lot of people are like linux question mark.[217]
A: It's something that we'll evaluate in the future. I haven't ruled it out necessarily- would see how much work it would take to do that, but really like less than one percent of the player base is using Linux.[217] – Steven Sharif

Performance

Performance optimization when rendering 1300 simulated actors utilizing merged materials and meshes in Unreal Engine 5 Nanite.[220] This test was confirmed post-stream to be running on a RTX 3070.[221]

What you're seeing here showcases the new modular appearance component which can combine any set of meshes and materials into a single mesh and single material at run-time. What you're looking at is over 1300 different entities, different actors. These are simulated players essentially. Previously you saw the example they were just standing still. There was no animation, there was no effects, there was no environment and it was a thousand. This is thirteen hundred playing animations, playing effects, plus the environment which is Nanite in this example. So what you're seeing is all of these players moving around and doing something and you're seeing the frame rate at about 30 on Clayton's rig.[222] – Steven Sharif

Here you see that the FPS in the top right corner is like seven or eight on average, so not too good from a rendering perspective... So by merging now you can see that the same thousand players who are wearing the same armors as previously are actually having a 300 percent increase- 300 to 400 increase- in the performance of the of the FPS. So it went from 7 to about 21 on average and that is a significant optimization point that obviously this is just the beginning of the optimization efforts.[223] – Steven Sharif

Ashes of Creation was performing at 50-60 FPS on a 1080 Ti during early Alpha-1 testing.[224]

  • A "default player appearance" may be automatically applied during sieges or other large scale battles to improve client-side performance.[228][229][227]
I think you guys will agree with me here that effects now are, as opposed to where they were in Alpha-1, we've taken into account what people's feedback were, although it was always the case we were going to address them; and we've implemented them in such a way where they're more conducive to large player battles.[225] – Steven Sharif

Unreal Engine 4

Unreal Engine 5 walkthrough.[230]

Lumen has done a great job in really bringing to to life this area. As you can see, there's light bouncing off of the surfaces and casting into the rest of the cave... I love how you can also see the detail in the costume and the cloth that we have now.[230] – Steven Sharif

unreal-engine-logo.png

Unreal Engine 5 is the graphical engine for Ashes of Creation.[230][231] The game was originally developed in Unreal Engine 4.[232] Migrating to UE5 early is expected to save time the long run compared to upgrading closer to release, or post-release.[233][234]

What it provides in my opinion as person who enjoys PvP is it adds additional dynamics to what is possible from your opponent or from yourself. You know, if there is a ledge and jumping off that ledge is going to deal a lot of damage to me when I hit the ground and that puts me at a significant disadvantage, maybe I have an option to jump off the ledge at a point where I can mantle onto the side of a cliff or something. Now the give and take there is I won't be able to use my skills while I'm mantled. I won't be able to react easily, but I didn't have to take the fall damage per-se. Or if there's an obstruction and I'm going to take a significant reduction in speed so that I can crouch and make it past that, and now I have a effective line of sight has been obstructed as a result of that decision. I think it adds interesting elements to the battlefield and the key here is going to be making sure that it's not cumbersome- that it doesn't feel opposite of the flow of combat.[237] – Steven Sharif
Lumen is going to greatly improve the visual fidelity and performance of the game with the reduced work and effort that's required by the art team, making Ashes of Creation much more beautiful than in UE4.[239] – Steven Sharif
Nanite brings us really an entirely new approach to rendering and art workflows. Now we can render more actors with extremely high detail while eliminating the need to bake out normal map textures. For artists essentially what this means is that they can import high quality sculpted meshes directly into Unreal 5 without really having to reduce the poly count, making the workflow more efficient while simultaneously improving the quality of the art.[242] – Steven Sharif
  • Features (such as World partitions and One file per actor) make it much easier for multiple developers to work together.[233]
    • World partitions also enable Unreal Engine 5 maps to exceed the map size constraints of UE4 (~20 kilometers squared).[233]
Q: How does this upgrade to UE5 affect the Ashes of Creation release timeline?[233]
A: While UE4 is a great engine, there are certain focuses and technological endeavors that Epic is doing on UE5 that won't necessarily be supported by UE4; and we want to make sure given the lifespan of Ashes and how long we intend this MMO to last, that when we made this decision early on during the development process that we weren't going to exacerbate the amount of effort it would take to move over later in the lifespan or after launch.[233] – Steven Sharif
  • As of January 24, 2022 all teams have moved over to Unreal Engine 5.[246]
    • The developers were able to transition to Unreal Engine 5.1.1 in February 2023 as part of milestone 4.[247][248][249]
    • The upgrade to Unreal Engine 5.2 was completed. The developers expect to start upgrading to 5.3 around the end of 2023.[250][251]
    • At some point the developers intend to stop updating Unreal Engine until post-launch. This decision will be based on careful consideration of potential delays and other risks.[252]
Q: What is your stance in regards to focusing on delivering an MVP versus continuously upgrading your tools and engine to deliver a better product with new tech, even if that results in delays or additional years of development like UE 5.2, maybe 5.3 etc?
A: Our technical teams, especially our network team, our ICS teams, our gameplay engineering teams, they convene and weigh when our next update should be on the engine side: What new technologies might bring benefit overall. My perspective on how we balance the need for integration of new technology versus the responsibility we have in a timely manner to provide testing sessions that get us closer to the launch date; that's a delicate balance. I would say generally our disposition is not to incorporate new technologies that yield some significant amount of delay on the development side. We very much take the perspective that we're capable of adjusting and/or integrating those new technologies post-milestone, post-launch if necessary. At some point we'll stop updating the Unreal Engine in development until launch. That point hasn't come yet, but of course the larger the project grows and on the more custom we make the engine for our back-end needs; and for whatever else merge conflicts can occur- those mergers can become big and painful; and the update process gets more painful. So to answer your question shortly, we have a team that evaluates what direction we need to take there; and at the top of my mind is always, let's not incorporate delays as a result of leveraging new technologies.[252] – Steven Sharif

Serveurs

The world will be the same on each server, but Nœuds will develop differently. Different servers will have different narratives. Things that happen on one server may not happen on another.[253][254][255]

To answer your question about "what stops all servers from from progressing the same nodes," the answer to that question is "other players." Certain content is locked behind different nodes that develop. If we assume that at some point all of the information regarding node progression is available, not all players on a server may agree on what content they want access to, or that they want other players to have access to. Even if a certain perks from node progression are considered "best value" to players trying to solve a node meta, that doesn't mean all players on a server benefit from that in the same way. Because of this, some players make act against your best interests, because it isn't their best interest. Nodes define (and redefine) the world around you, influence points of interest, world quest lines, story arcs, drop tables, resource pools, and even spawn tables for NPCs and bosses. The cycle of nodes leveling and triggering events is something we expect to see play out in a variety of different ways, across different servers, based on how players choose to play Ashes of Creation.[253] – Ry Schueller
  • There will be a multitude of servers located throughout the various regions of the world.[257]
    • Server selection will show the region where the server is located and/or the ping to that server.[257]
With regards to live launch when the server's go live, you'll be selecting a server to play on; and that will be your character's home; and that server you'll be aware of where that server is located usually by either a ping or a region that's notated on next to the server.[257] – Steven Sharif

Regions

Ashes of Creation will launch with the following server regions:[260][261]

At this stage we do not have numbers on how many different servers will exist for different regions. We've said in the past 8-10,000 concurrent users per server is what we'd like to aim for. Obviously, the number of servers that exist in a region are going to be dependent on the population that's playing.[268] – Steven Sharif

Other server regions will be considered based on interest.[262][261]

  • South America is under consideration due to traffic from that region.[269]

Once we get closer to launch we'll update this information, which may include additional regions.[262]

Certain regions will have "harmonized" subscription prices that better reflect their local economies. These regions will be segregated from other regions.[154]

  • Players will be able to make characters on any server they wish. There will be no region locking (outside of harmonized regions).[155]

Folks have always been able to make characters on any server they wish. We are not region locking anyone.[155] – Margaret Krohn

Server population

Des limites de population seront appliquées pour chaque serveur.[270]

  • Environ 8 à 10 000 utilisateurs simultanés par serveur sont anticipés.[268][271][272] Ceci représente environ 50 000 comptes enregistrés par serveur.[273]
  • Les développeurs entendent gérer de manière prudente les populations des serveurs pour éviter d'avoir à les fusionner.[23] Il pourra y avoir des files d'attente pour entrer dans les serveurs à population élevée, mais l'objectif est d'éviter les files d'attente excessivement longues.[273]

Cela fait partie de l'équation que de surveiller en fait, pour s'assurer qu'on ne surpeuple pas la sélection de serveur, mais en même temps faire en sorte qu'il n'y ait pas un système de file d'attente qui soit si long que ça pénalise la volonté des joueurs de jouer simultanément, pour ainsi dire. C'est un numéro d'équilibre difficile.[273] – Steven Sharif

Server history

We have learned a lot from our partnership with MY.GAMES, and we wish our friends there all the best as we have mutually decided to part ways. Looking ahead, we’re excited to announce that Intrepid Studios will be opening European offices in Amsterdam to help support our publishing operations in the EU/CIS regions. We have recently posted open positions for our new EU offices, and look forward to hiring the best and brightest in true Intrepid fashion.[283] – Steven Sharif

The Ashes of Creation MMORPG will not be published on the Steam platform.[284]

Esports

Esports in Ashes of Creation.[286]

Esports is not the main focus of Ashes of Creation, but the game may move in that direction if the gameplay is compelling, competitive, and fun.[287][288]

What I would say as an MMO player is Esports tends to miss out on a core element that's unique to MMORPGs, which is progression; and it's difficult to represent that progression in the traditional Esports format that we see with other games and genres today. However, what I will say is that I have participated in some MMOs that have stood up cross-server competitions and I've really personally enjoyed those types of cross-server competitions where you bring the best that those individual servers have to offer with regards to groups, or teams, or constant parties as we like to call them; and you allow them to compete in an arena format, or in a castle siege format. Like that is super cool. I love that server versus server type of competition and I think that's where there is a potential to do something interesting with regards to Esports and the MMORPG genre.[287] – Steven Sharif

Voice acting

  • Narrated quest lines are not currently planned for launch.[289] It has been stated that adding voice acting into the game at a later point will be a fairly cosmetic change.[289]
Is it difficult to add voice acting later? No, it's definitely not... It's a fairly cosmetic change.[289] – Steven Sharif
  • The use of AI voice acting is under consideration.[292][293]
I think that some of the technology and the advancements that we've seen, not just within the gaming industry but a broad scope of AI influence, is something that we are keeping a close eye on and we have some plans to investigate and inspect a few of the designs and approaches that we've taken, particularly as it relates I think to this question and AI voiceover potential to influence our narrative loops and how players interact with general AI dialogue; and there is an opportunity there, but it's not one that we have fully explored yet, although it is on the docket for the first part of next year for us to analyze what potential exists from a leveraging standpoint for this new tech; and I would say, stay tuned next year as we give updates. You'll likely see some things, perhaps even in Alpha-2 that could relate to that, we'll see. But, it is something we are aware of and we are keeping close tabs on how to integrate and leverage as part of Ashes.[292] – Steven Sharif

Security systems

Security systems will be in place to combat cheating, exploiting, botting, gold selling/real money transactions (RMT), item duplication and other things that affect the economy starting from Alpha-0.[294][295][296][297][298][299][300]

  • A broad spectrum of approaches are going to be utilized in order to try to protect the integrity of the game once it launches. Testing of these systems will begin leading up towards Alpha-2.[295]
Security is always at the top of any concern when you have a closed system like an MMO is... We've seen a lot of MMO is launch without security in place and the economy gets ruined as a result thereafter. And every band-aid that's slapped on top of that wound is just making things worse. And so part of why you take the time in order to ensure that things are done correctly is also the security component of things; and that's where testing with a live audience is a bit different also than testing with a Q&A audience as well, because you're going to get those bad actors- and we call them bad actors because ultimately they're attempting to destroy the fun for others... So what we've done is we've hired some security experts who've worked on massive other MMOs like World of Warcraft and other games, and they bring with them lot of experience; and we're going to be testing that in leading up towards Alpha-2. It's a very important part of Alpha-2. It's not something that we really addressed with Alpha-1 because again, that was a much more barebones functional testing experience. We did see some issues during Alpha-1 and we made it important for Alpha-2 to test those systems. We have a broad spectrum of approaches that we're going to be utilizing in order to try to protect the integrity of the game once it launches.[295] – Steven Sharif
  • These systems collect user data and flag abnormal activities for investigation. This combined with player reporting functions generates a live "heat map" that draws attention to unusual behavior.[294][296][297][300]
We do have already built into the game on the outset is essentially behavioral metrics. So in the game, as a player does normal things and they acquire normal gold, that's all good and well, but if there starts to be item IDs that appear on the player account that are out of the norm, like either a large amount of gold, or significant legendary items, what it does in the back-end it flags the account for view so that we can take a look at where did this item come from. Is it coming from a known gold seller or a flagged bot, or whatever; and then we investigate. So we're going to be pretty hard on the ability for players to subvert the natural economy systems by RMT or botting.[297] – Steven Sharif
  • Botters, cheaters, gold sellers, and RMTers, will face severe penalties from the active GM/community team.[294][301][302][300]
It's important to note that there is a sanctity that must be protected within the game from RMTing; and let me just go into a little diatribe about this: But in games that I've played where the company or the publisher does not enforce rules, it becomes the standard that you buy gold if you want to be competitive. If you want to compete at the top tier levels in certain games, and everyone's buying gold, you almost either have to buy the gold or you're just not going to be able to compete with those people and that's a really shitty feeling to have. Excuse my French, I apologize. That is sucky; and in order for that not to be the case it is the responsibility of the publisher or the developers both to make sure that we have stringent practices from a CS- from a customer customer service perspective- to enforce our rules and to make sure that players are aware if they partake in this there is a huge risk in doing so. It's not going to be a slap on the hand. It's not going to be a "we told you once, we told you twice, we told you three, four, five six times okay. We're just taking some gold away", that thing. We have got to ensure that it is feared to do those things because that ashes has active GMS, it has active customer service, it has an active community team.[302] – Steven Sharif

Two-factor authentication

Token-based two-factor authentication (2FA) was expected to be in place for Alpha-1.[303]

Addons/mods

Cette traduction est peut-être obsolète

En général, les addons ne seront pas autorisés.[304]

  • Les développeurs ne veulent pas que les addons/mods soient nécessaire pour vivre une bonne expérience de jeu.[305]
  • Les développeurs pensent que les DPS Meters peuvent avoir des effets négatifs.[304]
  • Le design de l'API du jeu est toujours en développement.[307]
    • Il y aura des outils disponible pour le streaming notamment pour Twitch et quelques autres services, mais ces outils ne seront pas accessibles depuis un API.[308]

nous voulons rendre l'UI et la représentation des données customisables, mais nous ne voulons pas rendre le jeu moddable pour l'instant. Nous changerons peut-être d'avis, mais ce n'est pas prévu à la sortie.[308] – Steven Sharif

Nous voulons que le studio puisse offrir le plus possible par lui-même... Nous ne voulons pas d'addons.[305] – Steven Sharif

Franchise

Rogue Pre-alpha preview.

Ashes of Creation will be a franchise.[388]

Q: Given that you said that these story arcs are a module that get placed into the world, do you plan to sell or release your Ashes of Creation themed TTRPG module for other DMs to use?
A: There's a lot of things I want to do when we launch Ashes. One is, of course, a module that's set in the world of Ashes of Creation. Yes, I would love to release a throwback to the original campaign. It's very different from where Ashes of Creation is today. But I think it's- there's a lot of overlap between gamers who enjoy tabletop RPGs and MMOs and one of the benefits of telling a story through different venues, mediums and systems is that you reach a broader audience, because not all of us like the same things; and I think the story of Ashes is a rich one. And because of that, telling it through multiple mediums is definitely a desire. From a board game perspective, I'm a huge board game nerd. I love playing board games. A lot of us at the office do. I would love to tell the story of Ashes through a board game as well. I would love to tell the story of Ashes through a RTS. I would love to tell it through film and television. There's a lot of ways I think that the story can be told. It doesn't all have to be focused around the return to Verra. There's a lot of different opportunities across the many thousands of years of timeline that Verra's existed that we can tell the story and even other aspects of that.[390] – Steven Sharif
