Terrain de chasse

You are on the prowl, and notice an unsuspecting player chopping trees. What would you do?

Terrain de chasse are open-world JcJ corruption-enabled areas that encompass most of the map.

• Hunting grounds refer to killing monsters or PNJs in the open-world.
• This also refers to contesting resources.

One of the interesting components of Ashes of Creation and our flagging system is that it presents the potential for two conflicting parties to have open conflict in the open world over pretty much anything that they may want or disagree with; and if that pertains to a hunting ground, not just the caravan or the castles or the nodes or whatever, it can exist in that area. – Steven Sharif

Outside of PvP for certain things like caravans, sieges of nodes and/or castles is that you're going to have those open-world hunting ground fights that may occur. You're going to have resources fights that may occur. You're going to have political fights that may occur between members of guilds; and we're taking the guild politics to a whole new direction in regards to playing those conflicts out. – Steven Sharif

Our PvP mechanics follow a flagging system, as well as static PvP zones at certain points of interest; fight for control over cities, castles, caravans, or hunting grounds. Our PvP is designed to offer the players a well-balanced and fair world to shape through the pen, or sword should they choose.

Nous préférons grandement nous qualifier de jeu JcX, car dans ce systèmes JcJ, JcE et artisanat sont tous interconnectés: ils sont co-dépendants l'un avec l'autre... Notre système nécessite réellement quelques co-dépendances entre ces éléments. Vous aurez besoin d'un artisan pour vous fournir les meilleurs objets. Vous aurez besoin de JcJ pour sécuriser les villes et châteaux. vous aurez besoin de JcE pour vaincre les world bosses pour les ressources d'artisanat. – Steven Sharif

Ashes of Creation est un jeu JcX. Les joueurs seront naturellement confrontés au éléments JcJ et JcE. Il est très peu probable qu'un joueur puisse se concentrer uniquement sur le JcJ ou le JcE.

• Il y aura un équilibre entre le JcJ et JcE dans Ashes of Creation.
• Certains serveurs pourront être plus orientés JcJ que d'autres.
• Il n'y aura pas de différence entre les types d'équipements JcJ et JcE .
• La progression en jeu pourra nécessiter des éléments JcE.
• Toutes les stats seront en rapport avec l'efficacité au combat du joueur en JcX.

Nous sommes très clair sur notre objectif et philosophie sur le jeu et nous comprenons que ça ne plaira peut être pas à tout le monde. Mais vous savez que c'est une relation réciproque importante entre le contenu qui est orienté JcE et celui orienté JcJ et qu'ils s'alimentent l'un l'autre. Ils sont les catalyseurs pour un changement: leur progression, leur développement. Ce sont des choses que les gens apprécient quand ils voient quelque chose de gagné et quelque chose de perdu. Cela entraine une réponse émotionnelle des joueurs: le fait qu'ils aient investis du temps pour réussir ou échouer; et le JcJ permet à cet élément d'être introduit dans la partie. Et nous sommes très clair que c'est notre objectif: cette relation entre le risque et la récompense, cette mentalité basée sur les succès. tout le monde ne sera pas un gagnant et c'est normal. – Steven Sharif

Threat assessment

You decide to gank the player, but find out that you have been ambushed!

Players will have a buff on their nameplate that indicates the gear set they are wearing. Other players will be able to see this buff by targeting that player at a distance.

• This will indicate the type of armor (cloth, leather, plate) that they are predominantly wearing.

You can target a player. You're going to see what type of armor they have based on a buff they have available to them because obviously cosmetics can change appearance. You might have different silhouettes as a result of that. – Steven Sharif

• The border will indicate the level and quality of the tier set.
  • This also indicates if the gear is enchanted, along with visual effects associated with enchanted items.
• The developers believe that inspecting gear to obtain an exact equipment list or gear score may lead to "unwelcome behavior".

When you see a player approaching you and they're wearing a transmog you don't know if that person is a high damage mitigation against physical damage or against magical damage and essentially the way we overcome that is through you being able to target a player at a distance and they will have a buff that's present on them that you will see, which indicates that essentially the piece set that they are wearing. It is important for players to be able to ascertain from a threat assessment standpoint what they're going up against if they're actively checking that, and that will be available. – Steven Sharif

Player health

Cette traduction est peut-être obsolète

La Santé est une stat dans Ashes of Creation.

• Les joueurs qui ne sont pas dans le même groupe ou raid ne pourront pas voir le pourcentage de santé d'un autre joueur ou la valeur exacte de sa barre de vie.
• La plaque de nom d'un joueur va se détériorer pour donner une indication de la quantité de dommages qu'il a subie.

Pour ce qui est de voir la santé des autres joueurs : comme vous le savez, leur plaque de nom va se détériorer ou vous donner une indication du type "Eh, ils ont subi des dommages, ils sont sérieusement blessés", mais vous n'obtiendrez pas un pourcentage. Vous n'obtiendrez pas de valeur exacte, sauf si vous êtes dans leur groupe ou leur raid. – Steven Sharif

Tables de Butin

Alpha-2 Pillage UI.

• Monstres drop glint, Articles, and crafting materials in preference to gold.
  • Glint is not bound to a specific region and can be also dropped by players on death as stolen glint, based on applicable death penalties.
  • The rarity of glint increases with the mob's level.
  • Loot tables are disabled for player controlled monsters.
  • There is a small RNG chance of looting rare and legendary items or crafting materials from mobs based on the level, status and type of mob. This also applies to harvesting resources with a gathering profession.
  • Experience debt decreases the drop rate percentages from monsters.

• Loot (loot tables) from world bosses or dungeon bosses has a small RNG chance of dropping gear (completed items).
  • There is a much higher chance that materials and unique recipes are dropped that can be used to craft items of equitable value.
  • Legendary equipment is only dropped by Legendary world bosses.

• Statistiques on dropped items will vary based on the rarity of the item.

• Loot tables will likely not be affected by weather conditions. This was previously listed as a possible effect.

• There won't be specific loot drops for artisans. Previously it was stated that master gatherers may have the ability to "spoil" a boss' loot.

Q: Can only one gathering artisan harvest resources from a single boss, or can multiple different artisans harvest different parts from a boss for different resources? For example, a lumberjack gets a special wood from Tumock's tree weapon, while a herbalist gathers the flowers from that same tree.

A: We don't have the concept of harvesting from bosses. NPCs follow a reward table format, where those reward tables are global. They're not unique to particular players. So, once the NPC is vanquished, you have access to the loot container that is its corpse; and it has a static value of either materials or items that get dropped; and whatever the party loot settings are that you might be a part of, or if you're a solo player you will be able to recover those things.

Hunting certificates

Glint in a player's inventory in Alpha-2.

You're hovering over an item we call Glint. [It] comes in a few different rarities. It was formerly known as the monster certificates but we have rebranded them. – Chris Justo

Glint rarities in Alpha-2.

Glint (previously known as Hunting certificates and Monster certificates) is a bound currency that drops from mobs and players, and is offered as a reward for completing certain quests, events, and achievements. Glint is intended to be the primary method for generating gold in the Ashes of Creation economy.

Glint serves a very integral role in the economy within Ashes of Creation. It is a material substance that is acquired through various means, but primarily hunting different antagonists within the world; and it is the physical form of Essence within the beasts of Verra. So when you acquire this it is bound to your character, and that is a very important component of the economic systems here because glint will be used to pay for certain services, such as taxation for buildings that you have, or citizenship dues that are necessary. – Steven Sharif

• Glint is not localized to specific regions. Previously it was stated that glint was specific to an economic region.

• The rarity of glint increases with the mob's level.

• Glint occupies space within the spatial inventory system and must be transported via crates when in large quantities.

• Glint can be sold directly to commodities vendors at hunting lodges within nodes to "make some quick money".

• Glint may be traded with commodities vendors for player commodities. These commodities can then be transported to other nodes (via caravan or merchant ship) where they can be traded for gold. The gold value is based on the demand for the commodity at the destination node (over the last seven days) as well as its distance from the originating node.

• Glint will drop as stolen glint on a character's death, based on applicable death penalties. Glint taken from caravan wreckages is also classed as stolen. Stolen glint is not bound and may be redeemed for less than its original value at black market locations.

• Glint may be used to pay housing taxes and citizen dues.

• Glint can be stored within node warehouses.

• Glint is not intended as crafting materials.

• Glint is a substance that embodies the Essence of the beasts of Verra.

Marquage de joueur

The open world JcJ flagging system is designed to deter people from griefing other players without limiting opportunities for open conflict.

We do incentivize players to fight back, or to participate in PvP through the flagging system, but not to PK. Not to go corrupt. – Steven Sharif

• Players can participate in open world PvP with one another without having to resort to murder.
  • Players will gank other players, but the intention is for Ashes of Creation to not be a "gank box".
• The penalties are intended to be severe enough to deter any type of spawn camping.
• Summons follow the same PvP flagging rules as players and share the player's flag status.
• Articles are not provided to players until crafting or gathering interactions are complete. Players interrupted before completion will not lose these items or resources.

There are three levels of flagging for world PvP in Ashes of Creation.

• Non-combatant (green)
  • All players start as non-combatants.
  • Non-forced attacks, including AoE and status effects, will not hit non-combatant players.
  • Green players killed by mobs (the mob deals the killing blow) do not flag attacking players as corrupt, but since the exact health of another player is not known (outside of the same party, raid, alliance, or guild), attackers run the risk of killing the player and becoming corrupt.
  • Player abilities with CC effects do not apply to non-combatants. The target of a CC ability must be flagged in order to suffer the CC effects. This prevents players from opening attacks that stun non-combatant players during a pull for example.
  • Non-combatants will not be flagged for looting bodies.
  • Players will be able to opt-in (via a checkbox) to allow their beneficial spells, or non-beneficial AoEs to hit combatants.

If you have that check-box for flagging with your AOEs and heals available then you will flag. If you do not have that box checked then on completion of the skill it will not flag you because the check was made at the start that there was a flagged party member; and then he will not he or she will not receive the beneficial effect as a result or the damage, if it's an offensive spell. – Steven Sharif

• Combatant (purple)
  • Players are flagged as combatants if they attack another (non-corrupted) player when carrying out a forced attack. If the attacked player fights back, they are also flagged as combatants, otherwise the attacked player will remain flagged as a non-combatant.
    • This also applies to attacks made by combat pets, summons, or any other player-controlled entities.
  • Non-combatants entering an open world battleground (PvP event) are automatically flagged as combatants and remain flagged for a period of time after leaving that battleground.
  • Non-combatants who heal, buff, or otherwise interact with combatants or corrupted players will be flagged as combatants.
  • Players can kill combatants without repercussions, and are encouraged to do so, since dying while a combatant has reduced death penalties.
  • Players are not able to manually set their flagging status to combatant.
  • Players remain flagged for a period of 90 seconds following their most recent attack on a non-combatant or another combatant.
  • Players cannot log out while flagged as combatants.

You're not going to see griefing in the game very often; and that's because our flagging system. The corruption mechanics are based around disincentivizing a griefer or PKer but still offering the opportunity, should the occasion arise, where the benefits outweigh the risk, you have the ability to do so. If you gain corruption, which is killing a non-combatant - a player who is not fighting back basically - if you gain that corruption, your world has changed. It is not going to be a very beneficial place to be and you have the potential of losing your gear. Your combat efficacy decreases based on the amount of corruption you accrue. It is a comfortable balance between player agency and grief and basically removing player agency for other players. – Steven Sharif

• Corrupted (red)
  • If a combatant player, or their summon, kills a non-combatant player, including any of their controlled entities, such as their battle pet, mount, or summon, the player's character will be flagged as corrupted.
    • Corruption gained for killing controlled entities is a lower value than killing the players.
  • A character's PK value increases with each non-combatant player killed over the lifetime of that character.
  • The wider the level disparity between the players, and the higher the attacker's PK value, the more corruption score they gain.
  • A character's corruption score multiplies their death penalties and reveals a their location to bounty hunters.
  • If a non-combatant attacks a corrupt player, the non-combatant will not flag as a combatant.
  • Corrupted players may kill bounty hunters without acquiring additional corruption score.
  • There is a 60 second timer to logout while corrupt. Force-disconnecting the client during the cooldown will leave the character in-game.

It's important to note that the idea is going to be that, unless a player is in your party, alliance, guild, or raid that you will not have definitive knowledge of their exact hit point values. So when you do something that's sketchy like that, where you want to bring them close to death and let a monster finish him off, you are taking the risk of overhitting and actually gaining the corruption. – Steven Sharif

• Objective-based PvP events do not use the flagging system.
  • A player may not flag on members of the same party, raid, guild or alliance.

Corruption de joueur

Corrupted player in the Alpha-1 preview.

When you gain that corruption you have the potential of losing your completed items, your weapon, your armor, stuff that is very difficult to achieve; and then the other aspect of that is, that in order to deter basically players taking alternate characters and saying this is my PK alt, the more players you kill, the more corruption you gain, the higher your combat efficacy in PVP diminishes. If you're out there and you killed 20 players... you will not be able to perform in PVP any longer. You will need to take that character and go work off that corruption. The other aspect of corruption is that if you kill another player, who is a non-combatant and the level disparity between you and that player is great, you will gain a higher amount of corruption from that single kill. To the point where you should not be killing a level one character. – Steven Sharif

If a combatant (purple) character, or their summon, kills a non-combatant (green) character, or any of their controlled entities, in Open-world PvP, they will be flagged as corrupted (red). Corruption gained for killing controlled entities is a lower value than killing players. Player corruption has been referred to as a status condition.

There is no incentive to go corrupt... There's zero incentive for a player to go red. It actually gives you negatives for doing that- very significant downsides. – Steven Sharif

• The goal of the corruption system is to keep risk alive while significantly curtailing or deterring the ability for players to grief other players.

It is my expectation that the system will perform very well in keeping risk alive, but significantly curtailing or deterring the ability for players to grief. – Steven Sharif

• A player's corruption score (corruption value) increases with each non-combatant player killed. Corruption score has a scaling impact on the efficacy of a character's skills in JcJ combat. The higher the corruption score:
  • The more skill and stat dampening applies until the corrupt player ultimately becomes ineffective at combat. This dampening only affects JcJ combat.

  The more corruption you gain, the less effective you become in PvP and there's going to be a certain period at which point you have gained enough corruption that you're going to be gearless and you're also going to have a massive reduction in your PvP efficacy. – Steven Sharif

  • The higher chance of dropping of carried raw materials and gear (Armes and Armure) when the corrupted player dies.

  If you go on a murder spree and you have 10 pks under your belt then you might start feeling a significant dampening to your skill effects against other players. I don't want to give necessarily a number or curve for players to extrapolate prior to us having the ability to actually test these ideas and where those numbers are going to lie; but I would say what is the intent behind that dampening: The intent isn't to limit the fun of the player, the intent is to provide a give-and-take or a risk-versus-reward; and the risk of continuing down the road of accruing corruption is not only the loss of your gear and amplified death effects but also your ability to perform in that activity. – Steven Sharif

  • Corruption penalties occur as the corruption is gained.

Reward without risk is meaningless... Corruption is just another word for risk. – Steven Sharif

• The wider the level disparity between the players, and the higher the attacker's PK value, the more corruption they gain.

Corruption value from PK'ing a non-combatant is based on level disparity along with the PKer's cumulative PK value. – Steven Sharif

• Corrupt players suffer death penalties at four times the rate of a non-combatant.
  • Death penalties for corrupt players apply in every location, including naval PvP zones.

You can't necessarily time perfectly the damage or understand even the health of the player. Unless you were in their party you cannot see an opponent's health as well, so that's another component that adds risk.. – Steven Sharif

• Corrupted players remain corrupted when they enter naval PvP zones.

• Corrupted players can be attacked regardless of other affiliations. This is something that will be tested during Alpha-2.
  • If a non-combatant attacks a corrupt player, the non-combatant will not flag as a combatant.
  • Non-combatants who heal, buff, or otherwise assist combatants or corrupted players will be flagged as combatants.

• A corrupt player’s location is revealed to bounty hunters on their world map.

• Corrupted players may kill bounty hunters without acquiring additional corruption score.
  • Corrupted player's combat penalties do not apply when battling bounty hunters.

• Player to player trading, interacting with vendors or PNJs, and the ability to access storage is disabled for corrupted players.
  • Previously it was stated that corrupted players could not store items in public warehouses but could utilize private storage within their freehold.
  • Corrupted players will still be able to enter and leave their freehold buildings but may not deposit or withdraw items from storage.

• There is a 60 second timer to logout while corrupt. Force-disconnecting the client during the cooldown will leave the character in-game.

Q: Will there be any large-scale consequences when many players in a group guild region religion etc become corrupted frequently or for an extended period of time?

A: There are not group dynamics or mechanics that revolve around mass murdering people in the world. The corruption system is intended to deter mass murdering, not to provide incentives by which players can go out and gain corruption. – Steven Sharif

Q: If my guild has no one corrupted and your guild is like always killing people and always corrupted, will your guild have repercussions because they're corrupted versus my guild?

A: No I don't think so either. And the reason why is we want to deter it, but we don't want to make the system meaningless; and if the deterrent becomes too heavy-handed then it's a system without a purpose. And I think that the intent behind the corruption is that like during a rise in passion and like anger and whatever you want to make this decision and do something and you'll suffer the repercussions later. But if those repercussions are just overwhelmingly bad and even anti-social in the sense that like your guild is like hey man you went corrupted and this gives us like corruption points on the guild, and like you're out of here, then people just aren't going to choose to use it; and then at which point might as well just take it out. So I think there's a healthy balance between the type of deterrent used. – Steven Sharif

• Players do not lose gold upon death, no matter their corruption level.
• Player corruption is different to the corruption found in corrupted areas.

Certaines 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.

• Corruption has a visible effect on a player’s appearance.

Removing corruption

Cette traduction est peut-être obsolète

Concept art de cimetière par Tad Ehrlich.

Le principal moyen de retirer la corruption est par la mort. De multiples morts peuvent être nécessaires pour ôter toute la corruption.

• Mourir retire une part significative du score de corruption du joueur.
• Gagner de l'expérience réduira également lentement le score de corruption du joueur.

  Cela crée une expérience plutôt amusante pour les chasseurs de primes qui tentent de vous capturer tandis que vous être en train de la perdre. – Steven Sharif

• Une quête peut être utilisée pour réduire le compte de player kill (PK) d'un joueur corrompu, afin qu'il accumule moins de corruption dans le futur.
  • Il s'agit d'un changement de design d'un quête religieuse utilisée pour réduire directement le score de corruption.
• La durée de la corruption est réduite dans les noeuds militaires.

Mort du joueur

Alpha-2 Mort du joueur and resurrection during the Beneath the Stone Shadows event.

Alpha-2 Mort du joueur UI.

When a player dies they disintegrate into ash. The ashes contain any items lost by the player due to applicable death penalties.

• These ash piles are immediately lootable by any player.

• Marquage de joueur is not triggered by looting.

• Certain bags may have reduced JcJ looting times.

It might even be the case that their particular bag space doesn't have available location for a three-by-one log; and you're a lumberjack and they see you just chopping down these trees and you're like, there's no point in me engaging with this person, because I have nothing to gain due to my capacity. – Steven Sharif

• There will be a period of time following a player's death before their mule despawns. Other players must kill that player's mule to be able to loot it.
  • If the mule dies its corpse will contain the same percentage of lootable items according to the player's death penalties.

• Players do not lose gold upon death, no matter their corruption level.

• Glint looted from a dead character by any other player, regardless of affiliation, becomes stolen glint. Character's who loot their own bodies will recover their glint in its non-stolen state.

• Death by falling is possible.
  • Fall damage that occurs while mounted will be first applied to the mount; and if the mount dies as a result, then the remaining damage may overflow onto the player, but this will be determined based on testing.

• Death by drowning is possible.
  • Players that drown will respawn on shore.
