Alpha-1 preview Sorrow's Hunger world boss in the Underrealm.[1]
The general philosophy is that respawns will be variable. We don't want to have set specific times in which respawns will occur, so that they can be camped and farmed. But there'll be variable location respawns as well as variable time respawns. And then that provides opportunities for different parties to engage at different times and locations.[3] – Steven Sharif
  • Some world bosses will have stages of progression, such as defeating acolytes, then lieutenants, then generals, then the world boss itself.[8]
    • At each stage there is increasing difficulty. This may be parsed out into different time periods and be behind a wall of development.[8]
  • A single digit percentage of the population will be capable of defeating certain content.[8]
  • There will be ancillary effects that happen as a result of downing certain world bosses.[9]
  • 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.[11][12][13][14][15]

Avant-première du boss de donjon "Pyroclastic Wyrm" pendant l'Alpha-1 .[16]
Un lieutenant des "The Ancients" en rendu 3D.[17]

Ces deux modèles particuliers, avec l'alpha un, ils seront animés et présents en tant qu'adversaires dans certains des emplacements de donjon dans Ashes of Creation.[18] – Steven Sharif

Les bosses appartiennent aux types suivants, avec des niveaux de difficultés et des tableaux de butin croissants, nécessitant un plus grand nombre de joueurs pour être tuer selon le niveau de difficulté.[7]

Certains bosses et rencontres comporteront des bandes sonores originales spécifiques composées par Bear McCreary.[19]

When a server downs a legendary boss, I want it to cost time, resources, dedication; and when you do that I want everyone to benefit from it.[20] – Steven Sharif

Contenu adaptatif

Des nouveaux points d'intérêt (tel que des donjons et des Bosses d'extérieur) apparaissent à mesure que les Nœuds avancent.[21] Le contenu s'adapte au développement de la zone dans lequel il se trouve.[22]

  • Les Populations changeront.[22]
  • La difficulté du contenu changera.[22]
  • Le contenu lui-même peut être complètement différent, selon ce qui est développé et comment.[22]
  • Différents types d'adversaires avec différentes histoires.[22]
  • Certains donjons ne se déverrouilleront que si les nœuds sont développés jusqu'à certaines étapes.[23]
  • Les objectifs d'histoires pour les joueurs à l'intérieur d'un donjon dépendront des chemins narratifs choisis à travers le système de nœud.[23]
  • Les Tables de butins dans les zones et dans les donjons seront liées à la progression dans certaines zones.[23]

Certains donjons et autres points d'intérêt sur la carte vont être affectés par le développement des nœuds sur le serveur. Certains donjons ne seront déverrouillés que si les nœuds sont développés jusqu'à certaines étapes. Les objectifs d'histoires pour les joueurs à l'intérieur d'un donjon dépendront des chemins narratifs choisis à travers le système de nœud. Les Tables de butins dans les zones et dans les donjons seront liées à la progression dans certaines zones. Par exemple, admettons que les humains aient développé un nœud dans la Région A, et une histoire s'est ouverte et dirige les joueurs pour qu'ils inspectent les ruines (donjon) d'une zone proche. Et admettons que ce nœud se soit développé en tant que nœud scientifique (artisanat)… Eh bien avant que ce nœud ait été développé, ce donjon était accessible… Mais maintenant le donjon a propagé des nouveaux objets et monstres qui incluent des tables de butin qui répondront à des besoins d'artisanat grâce au développement de ce nœud scientifique. Et peut être qu'un nouveau boss apparaîtra dans différentes pièces du donjon qui inclura des différents départs de quêtes et d'aventures, comme un objet mystérieux avec une histoire propre qui ne peut être avancée que si un nœud s'est développé jusqu'au statut de métropole dans certaines régions, à travers la planète. Notre système est tellement vaste, quand il s'agit d'interconnectivité et de la manière dont le monde réagit aux joueurs.[23]

Artificial intelligence

Le boss Jermaine Torment of Illwind.[24]

Vous pouvez voir comment nous utilisons certaines des différentes pièces d'armure - vous avez probablement vu certaines de ces pièces sur différentes tenues, comme cette cape de Corvid Castigator que Toast porte qui est aussi sur ce monstre.[24] – Margaret Krohn

Ashes of Creation utilise une intelligence artificielle(IA) évolutive, ce qui signifie que des rencontres différentes pourront se produire avec des créatures similaires, ce qui donnera lieu à des expériences différentes pour le joueur.[25]

  • Utilisation d'une nouvelle technologie d'IA qui n'a pas encore été vue dans d'autres projets de MMORPG.[26]
  • Les boss sont scriptés et prennent des décisions de manière dynamique pendant les combats de boss.[27]
  • Les développeurs ont évoqué la possibilité que des PNJ effectue des "actions d'inactivité" pour rendre le monde plus vivant, mais cela n'a pas été confirmé.[28]
  • Certains comportements de l'IA peuvent s'activer en fonction de la progression du joueur lors d'une rencontre.[29]
    • La fréquence des attaques d'AoE sera plus élevée en fonction du nombre de joueurs participants.[29]
    • Déblocage de la rage ainsi que des effets de régénération et de buffs.[29]
    • Ajout de monstres et de classes de monstres.[29]
  • Les PNJ lors de certaines rencontres peuvent être conscients de leur environnement local et peuvent se mettre à l'abri derrière des obstacles, par exemple. Mais cela ne sera pas très répandu dans les conceptions générales de l'IA.[30]

Il existe des systèmes d'intelligence artificielle qui ne sont pas liés au contrôle des PNJ.[31]

Il existe d'autre types d'IA qui ne sont pas nécessairement liés au contrôle des PNJ. Il y a des IA concernant le développement des frontières des nœuds, dans la direction et aussi les décisions qui sont prises sur les nœuds inférieurs à asservir en tant qu'États vassaux. Il y a une IA qui s'occupe un peu du marché boursier qui sera présent dans l'économie. Il y a des systèmes d'IA qui vont être annoncés et qui sont je pense assez innovants en ce qui concerne le genre des MMORPG et qui vont rendre le système d'événements déclenchés très intéressant, je pense ; et cela concerne la façon dont les nœuds se développent et l'environnement réagit à ce développement en faisant apparaître ces événements déclenchés, comme une horde de zombies qui attaque une ville ou un boss de raid légendaire qui sort de la montagne. Je pense qu'il y a beaucoup d'opportunités pour que certaines des innovations dans le secteur de l'IA du développement de jeux vidéos se retrouvent dans Ashes.[31] – Steven Sharif

Zergs

For every play, there should be a counterplay. We often see Castle Sieges turn into zerg-fests, which really doesn’t capture the epic, back-and-forth battles we wish to see in Ashes of Creation. One of our key pillars is that Choice Matters[32], and that applies to tactics and strategy as well. A well-formulated battle plan should win out over stat sheets and bodies. Zergs will generally be difficult to pull off, and will be eminently counterable through siege weapons, traps, and other battlefield tricks.[33]

Zergs are empowered by fast-travel. Meaningful travel times are intended to prevent zerg play from being so much of an influence.[34]

Encounters are designed to have meaning in terms of how boss skills and abilities relate to group compositions, tactics and strategies. Zerging is not experiencing content.[35] There are different ways to make a fight more difficult for larger sized groups without relying solely on stat buffs or making the boss a "damage sponge".[36]

  • Raid and dungeon bosses have specific mechanics and abilities that players need to learn and react to.[36] Zergs that are not aware of these mechanics or react to them appropriately will be wiped.[35]
  • There may be environmental hazards and AoE effects that cause more damage based on the number of players present.[36]
  • There is a give-and-take for guilds that want to see a larger number of members as opposed to a more focused group that may be a part of an alliance.[37]

We're very cognizant of the fact that we don't want to see zerging be a mechanic that's utilized by guilds to accomplish content or just to steamroll over sieges... There are specific mechanics that we are working on that will be seen through the testing phases that relate to a degree of understanding of certain systems that can't just be overrun with numbers.[37] – Steven Sharif

Mechanics that encourage political intrigue will play a role in destabilizing zergs.[38]

The best way that I found in games I played previously to take down a zerg is to cause drama from within... It's that conflict inside of the politicking that happens in that big organization. If we provide opportunities for division to occur then it also provides stability to keep a server healthy away from that zerg mentality also... If we approach the castle siege and we've destroyed the walls and we're in the throne room and we're about to cast on the penultimate thing and I at this time am just so excited from what's happening that I'm like "screw it I'm gonna go for it". It's gonna be mine. I'm gonna take the taxes for the next month. I'm gonna take all the gear from the castle. I'm gonna take everything... We want that political intrigue to be present in the game.[38] – Steven Sharif

Objective-based game play helps to balance the zerg mentality.[39]

I always feel that if you balance based on groups that in your balance focus is to incorporate features that play well from a player versus player perspective as well as a player versus environment perspective: Having support classes, having DPS and tanks that can obstruct movement and/or create bottlenecks on the field and stuff like that. I think a well-rounded raid it will perform better against a non well-rounded raid, however then you incorporate the second aspect of numbers; and that's where again mobility, organization, leadership tactics. Having objectives in gameplay that make those important helps to balance the zerg mentality that a lot of guilds can tend to have.[39] – Steven Sharif

Instanciation doesn't play a major role in limiting zergs, due to 80% of content in Ashes of Creation being open-world.[40]

  • There may be instanced locations within castle and node sieges where specific groups can participate in certain objective-based waypoints.[40]

Zerging is always a problem in a lot of these MMORPGs where you really can't control the number of participants in certain open-world systems; and in that sense instancing is a great tool that designers can sometimes use to curate a particular number of participants that you want. But the predominant amount of content within Ashes of Creation, over 80% of which is is open-world content, so instancing is very limited.[40] – Steven Sharif

Pièces de Monstres

Monster coin concept art.[41]

Let's say for example you have an event- that is the predicate for this event kicking off was that a raid boss was killed in a nearby dungeon; and it was killed for the 50th time, or it was killed by some particular storyline end or whatever the predicate system is in the world state to say "hey kick this event off". Well, when that event kicks off a number of spawners activate around the node and NPCs start moving towards a node. The node is notified, like "hey there's something happening here, you guys should put up your defenses focus on this thing"; and those with monster coins who are within the area and are not a citizen of the node or an affiliated node can choose to activate the monster coin to become one of the monster types that exist within that event; and that event has a number of targets; and let's say for this particular story arc the thing was we need to find artifacts and better weapons in order to defeat these bosses at the bottom of this dungeon; and a lot of players went through that process they found those weapons and whatnot. Well those things might be stored in three buildings that exist within the node. They might be stored within the armory; they might be stored within the barracks; and they might be stored at a workshop that has access to a workbench that they've chosen to build and that could also potentially serve as a predicate; and when you become the monster those are your three objectives; and you don't need to destroy all three. You potentially just need to destroy one, or you destroy as many as you can if it's a time selected event; and you might have targets that are NPC-related as well, such as the blacksmith that's at the workbench, or the captain of the guard who's at the barracks, or whatever who's at the armory; and you get to go in and you get to kill other players potentially during this who are helping to defend the city; and you can also make it to the objectives and potentially help in destroying the building, or killing the NPCs. That is the type of objectives that would exist within a monster coin system for an event.[42] – Steven Sharif

Pre-alpha monster coin system.[43]

Sometimes the disturbed beings could take the form of packs of dire wolves, hordes of zombies roused from their graveyard, or even, rarely, an epic-tier dragon flying out of a volcano once a node reaches its maximum level. In any case, the disturbed monsters have to tackle a series of destructive objectives, which can either be handled by the AI or, more interestingly, by a player. The player in turn would attempt to complete all those actions much as in a multi-objective quest, hopefully before other players brought him or her down.[44]

Pièces de Monstres enable players to play as monsters within the monster coin event system. This ranges from playing as a horde of zombies, to becoming a massive dragon.[45][46][47]

During a Monster Coin Event, players will be able to activate Monster Coins, allowing them to become monsters and wreak havoc! These Events can be triggered in a variety of different ways, and in some cases they may even provide cosmetic rewards.[41]

Monster coin events are system spawned events.[46][48]

  • They are structured in a way to prevent groups from gaming the system.[48]
  • Monster coin events are triggered by activity in the world, such as node advancement, defeating a boss or constructing certain types of buildings within a node.[49]
  • Server messages appear for players in the vicinity of these dynamic events.[50]
  • The player will have a number of potential objectives they can choose to attack during the event. This may include node buildings, points-of-interest, dungeon, NPC, or other open-world objective.[42]
When you're playing as a as a monster from the monster coin use as part of an NPC event that might be targeting a node, or other some other open-world objective or POI, or dungeon, you get to participate as a monster and your focus is completing objectives that have already been prescribed as part of the event.[42] – Steven Sharif

The Ancients are not going to be part of the monster coin system.[53]

Traditionally, the Ancients are not going to be part of the Monster Coin system. These are the primary antagonists of the story. From a lore perspective, and one of the reasons why they're not a part of the Monster Coin system, is because their souls have really developed almost to the point of perfection in manipulating the Essence for more corrupt uses. They haven't quite gotten there, and who knows if they ever will, but that attunes them out of the possibility: The reason why the monster coin system is possible with other creatures.[54] – Steven Sharif

Impact on nodes

Monster coin events (Bosses) cannot destroy or delevel nodes.[55] They can disable certain buildings, services and PNJs within a node.[56][50] Sièges de Nœuds are the chief mechanic for destroying nodes.[55]

For example, if the service building that got disabled was a blacksmith's building that housed a workbench, which was the only workbench in the region capable of crafting a t5 (or tier 5), or high-tier quality equipment, then of course that would have ramifications economically, as those pieces of equipment that are already readily available would raise in prices; and because there would be a issue within the supply chain of those items being introduced into the economy, you would potentially have some supply and demand changes economically and that could span regions: that could be global even.[59] – Steven Sharif
