Animation canceling

Interruption d'animation will not be a combat mechanic in Ashes of Creation.

• Players will be able to cancel channeled abilities.

Esquiver

Esquiver in Alpha-1 early combat.

Another thing that's important about these action combats is the ability to dodge and moving out of the way of certain skill shots. – Steven Sharif

Evasion moves such as dodging and weaving will be present in Ashes of Creation combat.

• Esquiver is a universal skill that is able to be unlocked by all archetypes.
  • Dodge rolling type skills were previously housed in the action skill sets of agile classes such as Rogues or Fighters.

• Dodging will not use I-frames (invincibility frames), but it may affect accuracy and mitigation stats when used.
  • Previously it was stated that hybrid combat will likely have true evasion skills relating to action-oriented combat and also have I-frames that apply to tab targeting.

So you see an animation windup that's a telegraph on what's coming; and then you have response actions that you can take as a result of that in order to dodge, weave, move, do whatever. It is both a combination of what your rotation is but also how you have reaction abilities ready to go that you save for certain circumstances that are important. – Steven Sharif

Blocage actif

Cette traduction est peut-être obsolète

Le bouclier Paladin's Might dans Ashes of Creation Apocalypse posséde sa propre hitbox et point de vie (PV). Il peut bloquer les projectiles.

• Les développeurs n'ont pas encore décidé si le blocage actif sera intégré dans le MMO. Ils se dirigent pour le moment vers un système plus traditionnel basé sur la mitigation de dégâts à l'aide de buff mais tout en considérant l’interaction entre le positionnement du blocage avec un blocage passif provenant du système de stat en cascande

Dans APOC quand nous avions la posture active du bouclier- cela était un blocage actif du bouclier basé sur un système de combat d'action; et quand nous avons collecté les données du concept sur son efficacité et sa précision durant son utilisation par les joueurs, nous avons remarquées que cela n'était pas très élevés; et c'est préoccupant au moins quant à la mise en place d'un blocage par bouclier exclusivement actif par opposition à l'activation d'un buff qui donne un pourcentage de blocage universel aux dommages reçues- et en lien avec les stats- c'est vraiment quelque chose sur laquelle on tente d'intégrer dans le système de combat hybride – Steven Sharif

C'est quelque chose dont nous réfléchissons de manière récurrente et que nous testons activement dans notre système hybride et vous nous connaissez quand il s'agit de quelque chose que nous prenons en considération. Bien sûr nous voulons une partie action qui puisse interagir avec le système de stat par cascade; et vous savez que ça sonne comme un oxymore d'un point de vue action et ciblé, mais ce n'est pas nécessairement le cas. Il peut y avoir une partie action- par exemple si vous utilisez votre posture de bouclier et que vous interceptez correctement un projectile ou une compétence provenant d'un arc frontal, vous allez mitiger 80% des dégâts ou appliquer 80% de la défense physique du bouclier; et s'il provient d'une zone en dehors de cet arc frontal vous allez avoir un bonus moins élevé; et c'est essentiellement ce qui se passerait si l'on prenait en compte par exemple la valeur de la défense physique de votre bouclier, vous l'appliquez comme un facteur de mitigation des dégâts reçus, mais en plus vous ajoutez les stats en cascade à ce système responsable de la mitigation des dégâts du bouclier ou du taux de blocage; et peut-être vous savez que la compétence principal indique 80% de mitigation des dégâts provenant d'un arc frontal qui peut atteindre 87% grâce à vos stats essentiellement; et si cela n'est pas dans cet arc frontal, alors il s'abaissera à une valeur de 50% d'efficacité- voire 40% ou quelque chose comme ça. Donc ça vous donne une idée de qu'est ce qui est utilisé pour déterminer ces compétences et comment ils intéragissent d'un point de vue action. – Steven Sharif

Interruptions

Abilities with a cast bar can be interrupted during the cast.

• There are abilities to counter interrupts.
• Some interrupts are better than others.

Cette section contient des informations sur les tests Alpha-1. Il sera mis à jour lorsque de nouvelles informations seront disponibles.

Skill	Icon	Origin	Description
Bulwark		Tank	Bash enemies in front of you twice. The second attack temporarily increases block chance. You must have a shield equipped to block.

Durée pour tuer

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.

Le MMORPG Ashes of Creation aura une durée pour tuer quelqu'un d'environ 30 secondes à 1 minute.

• La durée pour tuer dans le mode de test Ashes of Creation Apocalypse battle royale est adapté dans le cadre de bataille royale traditionnel.
• La durée pour tuer dans Ashes of Creation Apocalypse castle sieges sera légèrement plus longue que dans le battle royale.
• Les développeurs ne veulent pas de one-shots dans le MMORPG final.

Dans le MMORPG nous ne voulons vraiment pas de one-shots. La durée pour tuer quelqu'un doit relever de la stratégie et de la tactique. – Steven Sharif

Inspection de l'équipement / Évaluation de la menace

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

Contrôle de foule

Contrôle de foule (CC/mezzing) abilities include root, snare, stun, sleep and slow.

• CC effects do not apply to Non-combatant (green) players. 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.

• Melee archetypes will offer various mobility and CC counters against ranged archetypes, such as the Ranger.

• Some crowd-control abilities can dismount a mounted player. In that case the mount would persist with its own health pool and other stats.
  • In Alpha-1 testing mounts were not separate from the player.

There's also going to be effects that just stun the mount or stun you on the mount. – Steven Sharif

• Summoner's summons will be able to use crowd control.

• All archetypes will have their own versions of CC breaks.

• There will be diminishing returns on stuns, sleep and slows so as to avoid stun locking.
  • Diminishing returns on CC effects have not yet been implemented in Alpha-1 testing.

Diminishing returns in regards to crowd control and conditions like stun and sleep and slows and that thing: Yes we will have absolutely diminishing returns. I think it's a necessary component to balance out classes that have high control ability. – Steven Sharif

• Hard CC's are stuns, knock downs, sleeps, paralysis, some roots, some silences.
  • Hard CCs may be housed in action oriented skills because they are skill shots that are more difficult to land.

• Lockdowns won't likely be tab-targeted skills. This is to avoid imbalanced combos with skill shot (action targeted) abilities.

We're trying to stay away from hard locks as much as we possibly can. We want to have the system be very play, counter-play, counter-counter-play feel. – Jeffrey Bard

• Soft CC's are in the tab-targeted abilities.

Postures de combat

The use of weapon stances in game is likely.

RNG

RNG elements pertain to combat relating to stats such as Critical hit, Evasion, Blocking chance.

• RNG plays a role in both JcJ or JcE.
• Action combat is far less dependent on RNG.

RNG is always going to play a role in Ashes of Creation whether that be in PvP or PvE, but one way to mitigate that is through the action system. The action system is going to be far less sort of dependent on those dice rolls and there'll be far more in your own hands. They won't ever completely eliminate that but it's a way for us to sort of reward skilled play versus sort of tactical strategies type play. – Jeffrey Bard
