Gare

Five of the nine playable races in Ashes of Creation. From left to right: Dünir female, Dünir male, Niküa male, Vek male, Ren'Kai male, Kaelar male.

Ashes of Creation offers nine playable races.

Parent race	Races
Aelan Humans	Kaelar.	Vaelune.
Dünzenkell Dwarves	Dünir.	Niküa.
Kaivek Orcs	Ren'Kai.	Vek.
Pyrian Elves	Empyrean.	Py'rai.
	Tulnar.

Verra is a world with rich and diverse cultures. Much of its important history has been dominated by the major races. Humans of the coast and plains, Orcs within the hills and the marshes, Elves in the forest and the riverlands, and the esteemed Dwarves of the mountains. The major races have held dominance through countless wars and skirmishes between the lesser races of Verra. Decades may pass between these flareups of violence. There are many minor races on Verra. Some of the minor races exist in makeshift villages or tribes if you will. Some of the major villages among the minor races are comprised primarily of the Giants, less reputable sects of Human, Gnomes, and Halflings. The Halflings are not Halflings in a traditional sense but actually half-bloods of different races. – Steven Sharif

Wandering the darker places in the world lie truly sinister abominations of creation. The great churches of civilization often dispatch heroes of the state to eliminate these threats to mortals. There currently exist four great nations on Verra. This is 25 years roughly before the fall: The Aelan Empire, Pyrian Kingdom, the Kaivek Protectorate, and the nation of the Dünzenkell. There was not always only four great nations. Long ago the races were more divided into many nations and city states. – Steven Sharif

In the 7,000 years of recorded history, wars upon wars were fought. Some for land, others for resources, many for beliefs. Royal houses stood and fell over the years. Some now long bereft of lordship. Many city states exist in Verra. Some self-governed bastions of democracy and republics alike. Others are vassal states at the behest of their benefactors. – Steven Sharif

Character/Racial benefits

Personaggio benefits in Ashes of Creation are tied to that character's background rather than their race.

We want players to have the freedom to choose the race they want to play because they're excited about it, and avoid situations where players feel forced to play a specific race because of gameplay benefits.

• Gare are not gender or class locked.
• Race likely won't affect the artisan system.
• Race does not affect a character's base stats.
  • Previously it was stated that race "seeds" a player's base stats.

Alcune delle seguenti informazioni non sono state confermate di recente dagli sviluppatori e potrebbero non essere nell'attuale roadmap di sviluppo.

• Some classes may work better with certain races but nothing is enforced.
• A player's choice of race will influence their racial augments.

Character backgrounds

Backgrounds in Ashes of Creation house character benefits that are traditionally tied to race in other games.

Backgrounds are similar to "racials" in other games. Instead of the race you choose giving certain benefits, players will select a "background." We want players to have the freedom to choose the race they want to play because they're excited about it, and avoid situations where players feel forced to play a specific race because of gameplay benefits.

• Race likely won't affect the artisan system.

One thing we've talked about in the past is replacing the racial abilities with more of a background style, where you get to select your background regardless of race; and so those two aren't tied intrinsically. – Steven Sharif

Stats in Ashes of Creation are derived from primary attributes (Constitution, Dexterity, Intelligence, Mentality, Strength, and Wisdom) via a waterfall system.

A waterfall stat is a derivative of an attribute. So, if dexterity is your attribute stat and a waterfall from dexterity is critical rate, that would be considered a waterfall stat: the critical rate.

• Primary attributes are also referred to as Core stats, Primary stats, and Base stats.

• Base stats are defined by a character's primary archetype.
  • These can be improved based on gear, tattoos, and other enhancements, such as socketed items.

• Concentration will be a primary stat for spell casters.

• There will be diminishing returns on certain stats, but there won't be hard caps.

Questa sezione contiene informazioni dai test Alpha-1. Verrà aggiornato quando saranno rese disponibili nuove informazioni.

Primary attributes in Alpha-1:

• Constitution.
• Dexterity.
• Mentality.
• Power.
• Will.
• Wisdom.

Stat adjustment (via the Tattoo system)

Tattoos in the Alpha-2 character creator (first pass).

As of right now definitively there is going to be a tattooed system which will allow certain slots for you to apply stat migration, but it's a give-and-take relationship. There will be higher quality magical tattoos that can be applied to the character in order to adjust stats. – Steven Sharif

Tattoos in Ashes of Creation refers to.

• Decals applied through the character creator.
  • The developers are considering whether to allow custom tattoos to be uploaded by users.

• Cosmetic items that allow players to customize their character in-game.
  • These might be "sleeves" applied to different parts of the body.
  • It may also be possible to create whole body sleeves.

• Tattoos that can be applied to a character to adjust their stats.
  • These will have slots to allow stats to be migrated with a give-and-take relationship.
  • Higher quality magical tattoos can be applied to adjust stats.
    • They may also provide stat augments or other boosts.

Tattoos can be removed.

Nameplate

Questa traduzione potrebbe essere obsoleta

Una targetta del personaggio viene mostrata sopra la testa.

• Questa può contenere il nome, o facoltativamente anche il cognome.
• Il nome della Gilda del personaggio è posizionato affianco del nome.
• La targhetta del personaggio deteriorerà per dare un'idea di quanto danno ha ricevuto.
• Una icona indentificherà la classe del personaggio.
• Passando il mouse sulla targhetta mostrerà informazioni del personaggio come il livello, il nome della classe e la combinazione di archetipi.
• Un buff indicherà l'equipaggiamento e grado del personaggio.
• La visibilità della targhetta può essere oscurata da oggetti in gioco, come alberi; da abilità di utilità, come Camuffamento o Stealth; o attraverso l'uso di travestimenti.
• I tipi di creatura delle evocazioni dell'Evocatore appaiono nelle targhette sopra alle evocazioni. Questo non può essere cambiato dal giocatore.

Valutazione delle minacce

Questa traduzione potrebbe essere obsoleta

Hai deciso di gankare un giocatore, ma hai scoperto di esser stato tratto in una imboscata!

I giocatori avranno un buff nella loro targhetta che indica quale set d'equipaggiamento stanno indossando. Gli altri giocatori potranno vedere questo buff da lontano selezinando il giocatore.

• Questa icona indicherà il tipo di armatura (tessuto, pelle, metallo) che stanno indossando.

Puoi selezionare un giocatore. Potrai vedere che tipo di armatura possiedono basandoti sul buff che possiedono poichè le cosmetiche possono cambiare l'apparenza. Potresti avere delle silhouette differenti come risultato di ciò. – Steven Sharif

• Il bordo indicherà il livello e la qualità del set.
  • Questo indicherà anche se l'equipaggiamento è incantato, assieme agli effetti visivi associati agli oggetti incantati.
• Gli sviluppatori credono che ispezionare l'attrezzatura per ottenere una lista esatta di equipaggiamento o un punteggio dell'equipaggiamento possa portare a "comportamenti indesiderati".

Quando vedi un giocatore che si avvicina e indossano un'armatura trasformata in apparenza (transmog) non sai se quella persona ha un'alta mitigazione di danno fisico o magico e il modo in cui risolviamo questo problema è che quando selezioni un giocatore da lontano ci sarà un buff presente che potrai vedere, che indica essenzialmente quale set stanno indossando. Per i giocatori , da un punto di vista di valutazione delle minacce, è importante sapere riconoscere a cosa vanno incontro se controllano di proposito e questo sarà possibile. – Steven Sharif

Health

Questa traduzione potrebbe essere obsoleta

La salute è una stat in Ashes of Creation.

• GIocatori che non sono nello stesso party, raid, alleanza, o guilda non saranno in grado di vedere le percentuali di salute degli altri giocatori nè il valore esatto della barra di salute.
  • Questo non è implementato al momento in alfa-1.

• La targhetta giocatore di un giocatore deteriorerò per dare indicazione di quanto danno ha ricevuto.

Riguardo al vedere la salute di un'altro giocatore: come si sa la targhetta giocatore deteriorerà per dare un'idea che "hey hanno ricevuto danno e sono danneggiati in maniera significativa", ma non avrai una percentuale. Non avrai un misura su barra esatta, a meno che non sei nel loro party o raid. – Steven Sharif

Alts

Ci sarà un numero "soddisfacente" di slot personaggio disponibile per personaggi alternativi.

• Il percorso di progressione in Ashes of Creation è per personaggio.
• Sarà possibile trasferire l'equipaggiamento tra personaggi.
  • Il trasferimento di risorse e materiali a personaggi alternativi sarà possibile solo attraverso il deposito della casa del giocatore, che sarà legato alla determinata casa.
• I cosmetici possono essere riassegnati all'interno di un account, con un potenziale cooldown.
• I personaggi alternativi appartenenti ad un singolo account possono intraprendere professioni alternative.

Ci sarà un un numero soddisfacente di slot personaggio perché siamo un gioco basato su sottoscrizione. – Steven Sharif

Character slots

There will be character limits during the Alpha and Beta testing phases. These are probably going to be more relaxed than for live launch.

• Allow testing of different builds as needed.
• Provide equipment needed to test various scenarios.

There will be a "comfortable" number of character slots on launch.

Banking

Nodes advance to the first stage quickly. This enables NPC services such as vending or banking items.

• Banking between characters will likely be restricted to furniture and completed items.
• A warehouse ability may enable a player to transfer non-material goods between alternate characters. This excludes resources, materials or anything that relies on the caravan system.

Creatore del personaggio

Questa traduzione potrebbe essere obsoleta

Discussione del Pre-alpha Creatore del personaggio.

Il character creator (o schermata di modifica del personaggio) permette ai giocatori di definire l'aspetto del loro character in Ashes of Creation.

Avremo una vasta gamma di modifiche già dall'uscita.

Se dovessi fare un'analogia, userei BDO come esempio di quello che cercherà di fare la nostra Creazione Personaggio.

Sarà possibile selezionare la voce del personaggio da opzioni predefinite.

Character appearance customization

Regolazioni del volto nel creatore del personaggio nell'Alpha-2 (prima versione).

Sarà presente un'ampia possibilità di scelta nella creazione del personaggio, specialmente nel volto. Che si tratti della forma della mandibola, le guance, le orecchie, il naso, le labbra. Sapete che vogliamo offrire molteplici opzioni al giocatore di personalizzare il proprio personaggio. – Steven Sharif

Vogliamo che ci sia molta libertà per permettere alle persone di esprimere la loro identità, per giocare di ruolo come vogliono per quanto riguarda l'aspetto. Ci saranno dei parametri con i quali potrete modificare un personaggio. Vogliamo che la cultura e l'identità delle razze esista in modo da renderle facilmente identificabili rispetto ad altre culture ed altri giocatori. Per questo motivo dobbiamo avere uno spettro sul quale possano esistere. Ci saranno un sacco di pettinature e tatuaggi da provare . Sarete in grado di gestire le proporzioni del viso, delle ossa, dell'altezza, larghezza e percentuale di massa grassa. Potrete aggiungere peli corporei in diverse parti del corpo. Se vorrete avere dei peli sui piedi, potrete farlo. – Steven Sharif

L'aspetto del personaggio può essere modificato nel creatore del personaggio (CC) ed attraverso saloni/barbieri all'interno del gioco.

• I modelli dei personaggi sono realistici.
• Il giocatore vedrà un personaggio generico prima delle modifiche.
• I design dei personaggi avranno influenze di diverse culture, come quelle Europee, Africane e Asiatiche.
• Le "Loli" non saranno presenti nel gioco.
• Gli slider e altri modificatori, come le palette di colori, offriranno flessibilità nella personalizzazione ma ci saranno limiti dettati da razza, genere, e le linee guida artistiche concordate dagli sviluppatori.

Gli slider avranno dei limiti, questa era una delle grandi domande una volta iniziato il lavoro sul creatore del personaggio: quanta possibilità vuoi dare nel permettere, per esempio, di spingere il labbro in basso fino a farlo deformare, oppure spostare una guancia in modo da rendere il volto asimmetrico. Non ci sarà la possibilità di creare quel tipo di personaggio. Nonostante questo si avrà la possibilità di muovere, cambiare, ingrandire, diminuire tutte queste parti, mantenendole più ragionevoli e considerate, nello stesso senso per cui non si avrà la possibilità di cambiare l'aspetto di un nano, né del Dünir né nel Niküan, per creare qualcosa che, in mia opinione, verrebbe considerato un personaggio Loli. – Steven Sharif

• Eyes.
  • Iris.
  • Eye color.

A "default player appearance" may be automatically applied during sieges or other large scale battles to improve client-side performance.

Character sculpting

Sculpting in the Alpha-2 character creator (first pass).

Clayton and I tag-teamed on this one. We really wanted to give players that feeling that they were grabbing and pulling and sculpting their own character; especially with more minute details. I mean, it would have been easy to give character- players 100 sliders, but it feels better to have a much more tactile response, like clicking and dragging and pulling all these points around. – Zachary Mallet

Sculpting micro adjustments with the Alpha-2 character creator (first pass).

Zach mentioned how much variation we achieve through the customization features. A lot of that is achieved through what Steven is playing with right now: with these dots that are appearing; and the reason why those are dots instead of the little plates that you see highlighted on the character is because these are actually changing the shape of the character's features altogether. Plates are used for moving things around and it sort of maps exactly to your input; and that's why that pick map or the plates feel so nice. Then you can click on those dots and drag those around and actually change the shape of a feature altogether. – Clayton Stamper

Sculpting provides the ability to customize different segments of any part of the body in the character creator.

• Plates are used for moving features around.
• Dots are use to change the shape of the character's features altogether.

Examples:

• Adjusting the length and proportions of limbs.
• Sizes of calves and thighs.
• Adjustments will allow a character to appear more feminine or masculine.

Character blending

Blending in the Alpha-2 character creator (first pass).

This is more of a large scale macro tool that you can select a couple of presets and then you can get certain features from one preset or different features from a another preset. So you place down your presets and then you can click and drag and morph between those different presets. – Zachary Mallet

Character blending allows the combination of two or more presets from the character creator. It allows users to click and drag to morph between the different presets to create customized characters without spending time adjusting each angle of every body part.

Genders

Male and female Vek character models.

There are female and male genders in Ashes of Creation.

• Gare and Classi are not gender-locked.
• Armor appearance adapts to gender.
• Costumes are not gender locked.
• There are no plans for gender neutral pronouns.
• Same-sex marriages are possible.

Animations

Alpha-2 work-in-progress combat animations and decals.

The intensity of those weapon trailings; how they scale based on the type of weapon, the level of weapon, that you have; but not just the trailing on the weapon per-se but also the ground decals. Like for this heavy weapon, that first strike you see that decal in the ground is- I love that look- and even on the backswing when I hit the ground behind me, it's causing that decal. – Steven Sharif

• Combattimento is animation-driven to ensure it is impactful and responsive.
  • Basic attack animations are triggered by the weapon combo system based on weapon type.
  • Skill animations are (generally) not impacted by the type of weapon equipped.

We really wanted to build the combat system to- like i said earlier- be as physical as possible. So we have it very animation driven. Everything is handled based on a reference of animation as opposed to nebulous timings, which allows it to feel very impactful and very responsive. – Keenan Reimer

• Gare will not have unique combat animations, but will have unique non-combat animations.

We're not going to be having I think unique combat animations. However we will have unique non-combat animations, such as your idle, your walk, your run cycle: things that the combat attacks do not have to blend back into. – Steven Sharif

Idle animations

Two-handed sword idle animation by Chris Myers.

Idle animations (non-combat idle stances) will be selectible by players in the character creator.

Part of the feedback that we got from the tank demonstration when we were holding that two-handed sword was that people would like to see variants of the types of non-combat idle stances that can be had with certain weapons; and so we decided to introduce a variant of that with having the [sword] rest on the on the shoulder; and that is something that we'll be exploring further to see just how much runway we can get out of custom and/or selective idle stances. – Steven Sharif

Aelan appearance

Jinn influenced Vaelune 3D render.

Vaelune have Jinn influence in their lineage, which manifests as an essence-like rupture in their skin after stepping through the divine gateways.

The Vaelune have an interesting lineage and there is some influence there that when the Vaelune step through the portal, some portions of their body begin to exhibit this almost essence-like rupture in the skin; and you guys are going to see some examples of that in the future; and it is a bit of some Jinn influence in their lineage as a race that sets them apart from their Kaelar counterparts. – Steven Sharif

Dünir dwarven appearance

Latest Dünir female character concept art.

The female Dünir models have received some upgrades!

• Facial hair has been portrayed on Dünir male and female characters, and Niküa male characters.
• Body hair may also be a character customization option for female Dünir.
• The developers updated the Dünir dwarves' design to have a more stout traditional fantasy appearance based on feedback from Alpha-1.
• Niküa dwarves have a "halfling" appearance.

Alcune delle seguenti informazioni non sono state confermate di recente dagli sviluppatori e potrebbero non essere nell'attuale roadmap di sviluppo.

• Facial hair is characteristic of the Dünir, not the Niküa.
• Female Dünir beards will not match that of the male. It will be more of a braided option that is not as voluminous.

Pyrian appearance

Py'rai male in-game footage.

From a character customization standpoint, these will be adjustable: Their length, their size, their width, their color, whether or not they'll have features like flowers that can bloom on the actual antlers, if they have buds, how do those antlers interact with climates as you move into them, do they bloom? – Steven Sharif

All Py'rai will have antlers, but their length, size, width, color, and other components can be adjusted via the character creator.

• The horns are a unique feature of the Py'Rai, but it may be possible to remove them.
• Py'rai will be capable of having brown skin.

Ren'Kai Appearance

Alpha-2 Ren'Kai Fighter 3D render.

Vek character model concept art.

Ren'Kai are large and 'buff' in appearance.

• They are the tallest race in Ashes of Creation.
• They are considerably taller than their human counterparts.
• Red or green skin tone is selectable via the character creator.

Vek are "goblinesque" in appearance and have a somewhat "contorted" stature.

• The Vek are taller than the Dünir but appear shorter than the Kaelar and Vaelune due to their stature.

Tulnar appearance

Tulnar character model concept art of the three base influences.

There's a number of minor races and major races that all sought refuge within the Underrealm and we talked about how this particular player character race was going to have a pretty unique approach when it comes to character customization because with that background there comes different species influence in the race itself and we want players to be able to dial up or down those influences as they see fit between the humanoid, the simian or mammalian, and the reptilian influences; and as you dial those things up, your base body- if it exceeds a certain percentage threshold- will assume the form and stance of one of three primary types of influences that exist for the Tulnar. And now what you're going to see is those three distinct influences and you can be of course a hundred percent in one if you wish and you'll be very similar to what you're going to see here from the concepts; or you can mix-and-match and you can blend between the different influences. – Steven Sharif

The Tulnar race does not have sub-types. Instead, players will be able to significantly customize the appearance of Tulnar characters based on three base influences; or blend between these different influences.

• Simian (or mammalian).
• Bestial/feline.
• Reptilian.

Gare are primarily humanoid in appearance.

• There are feline and bestial components that can be scaled up when creating a Tulnar character but Tulnar do not equal furries.
• Catgirl and Loli Tulnar are not able to be created.

Tulnar do not equal furries, but there are definitely some bestial components that you can scale up when you're creating your Tulnar character, so you could max that setting I guess. Whether or not that would give you what you would think of as a furry, I guess it's going to be up to your interpretation of what a Furry is. – Steven Sharif

• The Tulnar do not have avian characteristics. The sentient avian races (such as the Sladeborne) did not take refuge in the Sottorealtà.

Q: Will character creator allow us to make Tulnar that might look somewhat like Kobolds from Pathfinder or DnD?

A: I wouldn't say exactly, but there's definitely elements of Kobolds that you could incorporate in a character creator with the Tulnar, yes. – Steven Sharif

Alcune delle seguenti informazioni non sono state confermate di recente dagli sviluppatori e potrebbero non essere nell'attuale roadmap di sviluppo.

• Mammalian Tulnar may have snout features, fur and inverted knees.
• Reptilian Tulnar may have more circular eyes and head shape, and scaly skin.

Character naming

Personaggios will have a first-name and an optional surname (last name).

• Character names are unique per server.
  • Character name changes will be possible during server merges.

• There is a minimum length of three for a character name.
• Special characters, including apostrophes and hyphens, are currently not allowed in character names.

Currently we don't allow special characters in character names (including apostrophes and/or hyphens). It's possible this changes in the future. – Ry Schueller

Character names will appear on the character sheet and optionally on the character website page.

• In-game a character's name is displayed above their head. This can be the first or last name.

Name reservations

Name reservations were rewards for backing at the Pioneer level and higher and were previously available through the Voyager plus pre-order pack.

• Accounts will have name reservation tokens, that entitle its holder to reserve a name on a specific server when the reservation time comes.

Name reservation availability

Alcune delle seguenti informazioni non sono state confermate di recente dagli sviluppatori e potrebbero non essere nell'attuale roadmap di sviluppo.

Name reservations were slated to begin during Alpha-1.

Guild name

Name of Guild displayed next to character name.

Friends list

A character may add another character to their friends list.

• In the future there may be a web-based or launcher-based capability to add an account as a friend, but this is not definite.

Families

Families are a means to relate up to nine characters.

• Family sizes are normally limited to eight characters.
  • Marriage increases family size by one to allow player housing permissions to be shared.
  • This size increase only applies if the family's head is married.
• A character may only belong to one family at a time.
• Leaving one family and joining another family will have a cooldown period in the order of days.

• There are costs associated with family creation and maintenance.
  • Some costs are shared among the family members and other costs are specific to the family head.

• Freeholds are intended to work with the family system.

There's not going to be a ton of ton of parcels all over the world- that might not be feasible for every player to get one; but... if you can be a family member and you have a whole family owning a freehold together, it'll allow many more players to see the system and partake in it. – Kory Rice

• Players can charge for access to their family via player-to-player trading, but there won't be game mechanics or UI systems around this.

• The family system is not a core pillar of the game and will be changed based on testing and feedback.

Family summon

Skill	Icon	Origin	Description
Family summon		[[]]	Long duration cast (30 seconds to a minute) with an approximate 30 minute cooldown that slowly summons each of your family members to your location (up to eight members). Players cannot be summoned in the following cases: While in combat, if they are corrupted, or if they are engaged in an event, such as node wars, guild wars, sieges, arenas or participation in the caravan system. If they have mats, gatherables or certs in their inventory. This will be tested in Alpha-2.

Gear

Alpha-2 Fighter character sheet UI.

We wanted to create something that would handle a couple of different roles, with obviously your equipment slots for what we call a "paper doll", which is that display of your character. Eventually it won't just be a image of your character, we hope to have the 3D character and be able to rotate around, look at what you're wearing. And then we wanted to support a couple of different features here, with some base stats; the equipment, which will show what equipment you have available to quick swap, so you don't have to have your inventory and the screen open; detailed stats for those people who want to get into all of the details; and then of course gear sets. So this is going to be able to swap to your sets of gear quickly; and being able to save different loadouts. – Colby Marchi

There are multiple gear slots in Ashes of Creation.

• 3 Back slots.
  • 1 Ranged slot.
  • 1 Cloak/cape slot.
  • 1 Backpack slot.

• 3 Belt slots.
  • 1 Mainhand slot equips a player's primary weapon.
  • 1 Offhand slot can equip shields, spell focuses, sigils, and dual weapons.
  • 1 Potion/Pouch/Scroll slot.

• 8 Armatura slots.
  • 1 Helmet slot.
  • 1 Shoulder slot.
  • 1 Chest slot.
  • 1 Wrist slot.
  • 1 Glove slot.
  • 1 Waist slot.
  • 1 Leggings slot.
  • 1 Boot slot.
• 5 Jewelry slots.
  • 2 Accessory slots.
  • 1 Necklace slot.
  • 2 Ring slots.
• 3 Artisan gear slots.
• 1 Artisan tool slot is used to equip gathering tools.
• There may be a specific slot for musical instruments, but this has not been finalized yet.

• Previously it was stated there were 16 gear slots.

• Gear is not subject to inventory weight limits.

Gear sets

2nd Sword Division non-cosmetic gear set 3D renders. 3D model by Keith Kovach.

Not all armor sets will be the cookie cutter set. They will have the influences from the crafter available in it, if it's a crafted set. – Steven Sharif

Equipping the Titanbark gear set in Alpha-2.

We're going relatively traditional in the gear access points by being driven by level tier that players will have access to. So as you advance in your adventuring class you will begin to unlock the ability to equip gear of a higher level. – Steven Sharif

Gear sets (also known as tier sets) are a part of Ashes of Creation.

• In general, higher tier gear will be from gear sets.

Q: How often will armor be part of an entire armor set with other cosmetically matching pieces versus unique armor pieces that don't match or go along with anything else in the game?

A: There is a balance of both set pieces and non-set pieces and usually you're going to see at higher grades within a tier are going to be more predominantly set driven; and the lower interstitial power levels of the gear for that tier are the potentially bespoke pieces; and obviously those pieces are catered around a number of different interactions, such as ones you get from quests, ones that you get from drops, ones that you can craft, ones that you get from legendary bosses, ones that you get from guild-oriented tasks, or in-game favor and unique currencies. So there's different types of acquisition models and each of them has a spattering of either bespoke pieces or set-oriented pieces; and there are even varying levels of set pieces as well. So you might have a full eight piece set, or a three-piece set, or a five piece set, depending on where it lives within the tier. – Steven Sharif

• Players gain bonuses depending on the number and tier of pieces they have equipped.

• Racial appearance of gear sets is tied to the character model of that race.

• It will be possible to store and swap gear loadouts with a single button press when out of combat.

• Approximately 49 unique gear sets were obtainable in Alpha-1 from crafting, quests, drops and exploration. These were unique sets with different stats, but some may be similar in appearance.

Alcune delle seguenti informazioni non sono state confermate di recente dagli sviluppatori e potrebbero non essere nell'attuale roadmap di sviluppo.

• There are passive abilities that can be chosen to become more adept with certain set types.
• There will be viable non-set builds.

Best-in-slot items

What is considered best-in-slot is based on a character's role and the type of encounter they are facing.

• The goal is to not have overarching best-in-slot items that are meta for all situations.

• Crafted items are best-in-slot in Ashes of Creation. Previously it was stated that crafted items will be on-par with best-in-slot items.

• Instanced content will contain scripted and difficult boss fights that drop gear, but the gear drops will not be best-in-slot. These can only be found in the open world.

Gear appearance

Alpha-1 female plate armor 3D render.

We want to be realistic with the application of particular types of armor, such as plate armor. In this regard for the different sexes there's a fine line that has to be drawn between accentuating the form of the sex as well as making it somewhat realistic and actually applicable to the environment. – Steven Sharif

• Gear is intended to be realistic in appearance.

• There will not be "oversized" weapons.

• Armor will not be overly sexual in appearance.

  I'm more of the mind that it wouldn't really serve a purpose to have bikini plate armor, just in like reality, if you're going to have armor, it should be protective. I think from a fashion statement is enjoyable for some people, but it's a an immersive issue. – Steven Sharif

  • Some armor and costumes will be more revealing than others, but there will not be nudity in the game.

  There might be sliders, but there are not gonna be naked sliders. – Steven Sharif

• Armatura will take on a racial appearance. Armi will scale in size based on race.

Each race is getting its custom geo pieces, which then will share thematic components such as color palette, attachments, design filigree. Those types of things will get shared across the geo but generally you're going to see unique races with unique geo. – Steven Sharif

• The appearance of crafted gear is influenced by its rarity.
  • Particle effects are used to denote the importance and rarity of some weapons.

• Crafters are able to influence what their crafted items look like.

• Cosmetici can be used by all races but there may be slight variations to make them work with the body builds of each race.

• Dye cosmetics can be used to change gear colors.

• Helmet display can be toggled on and off.

• Hair will likely be masked if helmet display is toggled on.

• Armi are able to be sheathed.

Appearance slots/Transmogs

Alpha-2 plate armor set 3D renders. 3D model by Jan-Allen Cauton.

Gear will have appearance slots (Transmutation/Transmog/cosmetic slots) that are used to copy the appearance of an item (in some cases).

• There are rules when applying cosmetics to specific items, unlike costumes, which don't have level restrictions.
• Cosmetic slots can be toggled on or off on their character by the player.
• A "default player appearance" may be automatically applied during sieges or other large scale battles to improve client-side performance.

Cosmetics, whether purchased from the shop or earned in game, are an important component of MMORPGS I personally enjoy; and there's a lot of collectors out there who spend a great deal of time either in-game achieving these things or spend money purchasing them from the cosmetic only marketplace; and we don't want to demean or reduce that achievement or that expenditure. So it's going to be situational where the default appearance will be applied and can be activated. – Steven Sharif

Attachments

Attachments are able to be unlocked as flair pieces to armor to create a customizable look.

• There will be hundreds of attachments available ranging from a small clasp to the front plate of a breast plate.

Gear appearance priority

Players can set the appearance priority for the items they wish to show in their Back and Belt slots.

• Only one item can show at a time, and that is determined by player choice.

• Some ranged or melee abilities require a specific weapon to be equipped. Weapons that are equipped in the character's ranged or offhand slots will automatically swap in and out as required by the skill.
  • Players may toggle back and forth between using their ranged and melee slot for basic weapon attacks.

• Armi are able to be sheathed.

• Idle animations will be selectible by players in the character creator.

Progressione

Progressione occurs through a variety of pathways.

• The objective is to provide both vertical and horizontal progression.

Having the ability to gain power at a sacrifice... That's a way to reach a horizontal type of progression. It may not be entirely, because there could potentially be a meta if balancing isn't done correctly; but the objective there is to make sure we have both vertical and horizontal progression in the game. – Steven Sharif

• Different progression pathways are designed to suit different playstyles.

Multiple playstyles should be relevant and viable. Additionally, you have a spread between casual players and hard-core players; and most of us exist somewhere on that spectrum. The progression path in a society or religion is more conducive to the time we have to play. Whereas, someone else may be playing several hours a day, and they have a better opportunity for the raid/level progression that might require some more dedication. So we want to have these different progression paths available to accommodate the different times in our lives that we have to play the game. And all of those types of progressions will make us relevant in some way shape or form to the general world. – Steven Sharif

• Progression pathways in Ashes of Creation are per-character.

The way that Ashes is constructed is there are multiple paths of progression from a from a PvX perspective, a wide net perspective that players have interest in; and you're not going to be able to become the master of everything. So you're going to have to pick and choose, but even picking and choosing that gives you a place within that aspect of the world at a place that's going to be something that you can build up a reputation around. – Steven Sharif

• The ratio that various progression systems influence player power will evolve over time. In the early game adventuring level may be the dominant influence on player power. Gear may become more influential on player power closer toward endgame.

Q: Could you explain in detail what you mean by 50% of player power when talking about gear influence on player power?

A: That's just a general allocation of what players can expect to pursue when enhancing their player character power. Now obviously, the distribution and ratio of those types of influences, whether it be itemization, whether it be level, whether it be, augments choices, and/or skill tree choices: those influences and ratios change through the leveling curve. So, at lower levels your character level is going to be more influential over character power than itemization will be, but at endgame or higher levels, or at the end of the adventuring level progression, that's when itemization really gets an emphasis for its ratio of player power. – Steven Sharif

• Repetition will not be part of progression in Ashes of Creation.

The game hosts a wide array of progression paths, and some of those paths will grant additional paths to augmenting your threat generation. This can be in the form of enchantments and stats ... and even in the form of augments granted from societies and religions. Gear and skills choice are also a big component. – Steven Sharif

Character level

Alpha-1 early iteration of the level-up effect by Jim Sanders.

One of the cool abilities we all love seeing and gives us a major dopamine response is when our character levels up. – Steven Sharif

Livellamento won't follow a traditional linear path, although classic mechanics for leveling exist.

Leveling: the act of of going out and adventuring, of killing monsters, and combat in general is the most tactile and moment-to-moment type of gameplay that you're going to experience in Ashes of Creation; and I think at every step of the way in that adventure it should be fun, and it should be something that you enjoy doing, and it should be something that's rewarding, and it should be something that teaches you more about the immersive world that you're in and allows you to follow a compelling storyline. – Steven Sharif

• Players will have the option to rush their vertical progression to level cap or spend time building infrastructure through horizontal progression.

• Experience (XP) is gained through a variety of vertical and horizontal progression paths, such as Pvp, PvE, Esplorazione, Raccolta/Elaborazione/Crafting, Events/Missioni, Grinding mobs.
  • XP will be awarded for participating in objective-based PvP on a diminishing returns basis.

• A character's level is visible to other players.

• Some levels may offer more rewards than others.

I think you can emphasize some levels more than others and that's a great way to do progression. But I think ultimately that you should see a reward for your progress or effort spent. – Steven Sharif

• There will not be level boosts or auto-leveling (AFK leveling).

As part of our ideals as a game we're not going to give boosts away. We're not going to auto-level up a character. You have to spend time acclimating yourself to what this game is, to what the world that you're part of is; and that's an investment- a time investment; and that plays towards our ideas of risk-versus-reward; and I've always said our game's not going to be for everybody and that's okay. – Steven Sharif

• There won't be any damage dampening due to differences in levels in either Pvp or PvE.

If I have a skill that does a thousand damage to a target of equal level I don't want my skill to do zero damage to a target that's five levels above me. – Steven Sharif

• A player could in theory level to max level at a single node, providing that node was at a high-enough stage, but it would not be the most effective means of leveling.

Level cap

The level cap at launch is expected to be level 50.

• On release the developers anticipate max level should be attainable in approximately 45 days if playing 4-6 hours per day.
• The developers estimate that players will reach level cap before a quarter of nodes reach Village (fase 3).
• Alpha-1 had progression to level 15.
• Alpha-2 expects progression to level 30 (subject to change). Previously this was stated to be level 35.

Lower level characters will have usefulness in mass combat (such as Assedi al nodo) that is not directly dependent on their level, such as manning siege weapons, helping repair fortifications, bringing proximity-based buffs to key positions, using stealth or scaling walls. These types of things are relevant to the tide of battle and do not require the player to be max-level or have high combat stats.

The idea is not to be a game where somebody can essentially no life for a week and be max level. The idea is to incorporate some significant chunk of time but still respect the casual player, because the way we respect the casual player is not everything is driven in our game through the adventuring progression line. Not everything is driven through your class level per-se. There's a lot of different progression paths that are available and make you relevant within certain systems and mechanics within the game; and some of those paths are more casual friendly and some of those paths are more hardcore friendly. So with regards to the adventuring class, the idea is to make sure that investment needs to be pretty significant and that the reward then is respective of that investment. – Steven Sharif

End game

Questa traduzione potrebbe essere obsoleta

Non ci sarà un tipico end-game in Ashes of Creation.

Parte dell'esperienza con i Nodi è che non c'è un vero end-game, poichè il mondo cambia costantemente ogni giorno. Il mese uno sarà veramente diverso dal mese due; e questo vale per i livelli 50 come per i livelli 1. – Jeffrey Bard

Class progression

Come un giocatore progresses con il suo archetype primario (classe primaria), avranno l'opportunità di scegliere un archetipo secondario per augment le loro abilità primarie con gli effetti dell'archetipo secondario (classe secondaria). La combinazione di archetipi primari and secondari è riferita come una Class.

Se un Fighter scegliesse il Mage come archetipo secondario, il combattente diventerebbe uno Spellsword. Questa combinazione sblocca augments che possono essere applicati alle abilità nel loro skill tree primario. I combattenti hanno una abilità Rush che gli permette di scagliarsi contro un bersaglio; ed una volta raggiunto, infliggere del danno con una possibiltà di atterarlo. Un potenziamento Mage's escape può essere applicato all'abilità di carica, che può ora teletrasportare il giocatore verso il bersaglio; eliminando quindi il tempo di carica richiesto per l'abilità.

Ogni abilità nel primary tree avrà diverse opzioni di augment dall'albero secondario. Questo è un esempio di horizontal progression.

I giocatori ricevono skill points quando level. Questi possono essere usati per potenziare le abilità all'interno del loro albero.

• Non sarà possibile potenziare al massimo tutte le abilità di un albero.

Artisan progression

Questa traduzione potrebbe essere obsoleta

I giocatori dovranno scegliere, per ogni personaggio, una carriera nell'albero delle abilità dell'artigianato. All'interno di ognuna delle tre classi madri (Raccolta, Elaborazione e Crafting) sono presenti diverse professioni. Un personaggio può arrivare ad un livello di maestria in soltanto una di queste tre classi principali.

• È possibile padroneggiare più professioni (non tutte) all'interno di una singola classe madre, ma sarà un'impresa lunga che necessiterà molte risorse.
  • Un giocatore può diventare esperto una professione soltanto se ha raggiunto il livello massimo della classe madre.
  • Basandosi sul testing, potrebbe essere deciso di limitare i certificati di padroneggiamento ad un numero limitato.

L'estrazione è una classe madre dell'artigianato, come la lavorazione e la produzione. All'interno di ognuna sono presenti diverse professioni. Potrai padroneggiare soltanto una di queste classi madre; ma potrai utilizzare il tuo tempo per padroneggiare ogni singola professione all'interno della classe. – Steven Sharif

Diventare un Produttore professionista, o un Lavoratore o un Estrattore dovrebbe essere un significativo investimento di tempo e risorse; per questo motivo dovrebbe anche essere qualcosa che una volta raggiunto è come se le persone nel server sappiano chi sei. – Steven Sharif

La progressione dell'artigianato all'intero dell'albero delle abilità avviene basandosi sull'esperienza (ripetizione di incarichi) e sul raggiungimento di determinati obiettivi all'interno di una specialità.

• I giocatori possono dedicarsi a qualsiasi professione come novizi prima di deciderne una specifica.
• Scegliere un percorso specifico all'interno dell'albero delle abilità permette al giocatore di specializzarsi in determinate aree. Questo incoraggia l'interazione tra giocatori, arricchendo l'esperienza nell'artigianato.

• Il raggiungere un livello di maestria non riguarda soltanto la creazione di oggetti; garantisce molti privilegi, tra cui titoli, accesso ad oggetti, sconti, e missioni.

I giocatori avranno l'opportunità di dilettarsi in qualsiasi professione ad un livello principiante e questo gli darà la possibilità di capire cosa riguarda una determinata professione e di poi scegliere che direzione vogliono prendere per padroneggiarne una in particolare. – Steven Sharif

Quando ci riferiamo al non essere esperto di tutto non significa che non sarai professionista nella tua delle tre classi di artigianato, che sono, come sapete, produzione, lavorazione ed estrazione. Sarai professionista di una di queste, ma non delle altre due. – Steven Sharif

Religion progression

There are player progression paths within a religion.

• Players may follow only one religion at a time.
• Religious progression is based on quests that are only offered to followers of that religion.
• Religions have a ranking system based on a player's performance in these quests and the number of quests completed.
• Changing religion will cause loss of progress in a player's previous religion.

It depends on their dedication to the religion itself; their performance when it comes to certain religion's religious objectives; their contribution to the development of that religion within the world. There's a lot of different markers that we use at each stage to determine how they progress within the religion. – Steven Sharif

Naval progression

Mariner classes (also referred to as boatsmanship classes, boatsman skills or seamanship) contain different skill trees arranged in a similar manner to Classi artigiane. As a player gains experience in these different skills they become more adept at using them.

• Interaction with attachments, such as gunnery.
• Piloting/driving the ship.
• Ship navigation.
• Utilizing ship components, such as furling the sails.
• Ship repair, such as the speed and amount of health restored.
• Defensive skills.
• Utility based skills.

The benefits of having Mariner expertise is not just related to activities you can do on the ships, but will also incorporate skills that become available when you're piloting ships as well. There's a few things that Mariner classes provide: interaction with attachments on the ship, driving the ship itself, utilizing the ship's components—like furling the sails or not—as well as repairing ships when damage is taken—the speed at which you can do it, the health you regenerate when you do it. – Steven Sharif

Guild progression

Guild perks UI. Alpha-1 immagine dello schermo. Credito immagine: Guild:Overlord

As you're leveling up the guild and you're getting these points to either allocate towards expanding the guilds member count or allocate towards adding certain passive abilities that your guild members can gain by being guild members. You're also going to see as you're leveling up the guild through different type of quest-based, participation-based, node-based, organization-based systems and ways that those quests hook into the world. You're also going to see perhaps some augment abilities at the upper tiers of the guild levels become unlocked for certain members that have a classification of officer or knight, will have access to those different types of augment abilities that might get unlocked should you go down the non expansive member lane; and the idea there is to offer these benefits to smaller groups. – Steven Sharif

Guild progression occurs through participation in different systems.

• Missioni.
• Nodi.
• Organizzazioni sociali.
• Crafting certain items.
• Events.

Guild progression grants skill points that the guild can allocate to unlock aspects of their skill tree, such as passive skills, augments and membership count.

• Passive abilities increase certain stats relating to a guild member's ability to perform in combat or in other aspects of the guild, such as the economy.
• Ottimizzazioni may apply at the upper tiers of guild progression.
  • This applies to guilds that have opted for the non-expansive member route.
  • It benefits guild members with a classification of officer or knight.
• Guild members do not need to be citizens of the same node in order to benefit from passive skills and augments.
• Guild size can be traded off for guild progression.
  • The higher the guild's member cap, the fewer available skill options will be available to that guild.
  • Guild alliances may be a key part in creating a larger "guild".
• Guild Halls can be unlocked at a certain stage of guild advancement.
• Guilds cannot respec their skill points once allocated. This is subject to testing.

It's not always going to be combat. You could have an economic focus guild. You could have a trade oriented guild; and there's all sorts of things that you can put together and give your guild its own identity. – Jeffrey Bard

Social organization progression

Social organization progression is achieved through accomplishing tasks or quests within that social organization.

• Some progression is static, but more competitive achievements will be seasonal, based on a ladder system.

Alcune delle seguenti informazioni non sono state confermate di recente dagli sviluppatori e potrebbero non essere nell'attuale roadmap di sviluppo.

There are hierarchical paths pertaining to specific questlines for the organization's thematic. These quests will either be cooperative with or adversarial against other nodes based on their mutual war status.

• Sabotage.
• Espionage.
• Intrigue.

- For example, a Thieves' guild may have objectives and quests toward securing a particular item to enable players to advance within the organization.

Social organizations are going to have questlines that players participate in which some will include sabotage, espionage, intrigue... While it's not necessarily player versus player in the combat sense, it is player versus player in pitting communities in those organizations against each other in a competitive atmosphere, where only some things can be accomplished by certain communities; and not everybody can succeed at a particular task. So, I think that that's a unique way to involve meaningful conflict that doesn't necessarily have to relate to PvP, because obviously we have a lot of PvP systems in the game and and there are many ways for players to participate in player versus player combat; but we also want to make sure that from a progression standpoint, from a system standpoint there are going to be abilities of individuals to follow these questlines, these tasks that will pit organizations against each other, specifically from an organizational standpoint. – Steven Sharif

Character rewards

Personaggios will receive rewards on their in-game birthday.

• Daily rewards are not currently on the roadmap.

Daily login rewards are something we really have to think about in terms of what we want to offer... We want the game itself to offer enough reward to log in daily rather than trying to make it an explicit like gamified reward. – Jeffrey Bard

Successi

Successi record things of note that happen in Ashes of Creation.

• Server first achievements, such as significant boss kills.
• Guild achievements, such as guild hall ownership.
• Certain titles will unlock special abilities or stats during sieges and events.
• There will be a mix of character-based and account-based achievements.
• There may be visible items on a character that relate to Titles or Successi.
• Players will be able to view a historical listing of mayors of a node.

The achievement System should record things of note so that people are able to etch their name, or their guild, in the history of the server; and mayorship would be one of those things. – Steven Sharif

Alcune delle seguenti informazioni non sono state confermate di recente dagli sviluppatori e potrebbero non essere nell'attuale roadmap di sviluppo.

• Some achievements will be tracked across multiple servers, not just for guilds or groups.

It redefines what the players will experience in an MMORPG to come into a wilderness that is devoid of really any structure outside of what the community creates themselves; and then what can be created can be changed, if they want to experience a storyline that's been seen on another server, but you're fighting a dragon because you're near a mountain and the other server's fighting a Kraken because they're near the coast and you want to fight that Kraken because of its drop table. If you want to meta it or because you just want that under your belt: to be the server first to take out that Kraken and you have yet to develop the node there, it's incumbent upon you to manifest that in the game. – Steven Sharif

Titles

Titles are unlocked by achievements in aspects of the game.

• Organizzazioni sociali.
• Religioni.
  • Priests.
  • Bishops.
  • Acolytes.
• Gilde.
  • Guild leaders.
  • Guild officers.
  • Knights.
• Castelli della Gilda.
  • King or Queen.
• Node governments.
  • Mayor.
  • Priests, bishops or acolytes in certain temples.
  • Patron guild leader.
  • Chief bounty hunter.
• Assedi al nodo / Events
  • Certain titles will unlock special abilities or stats during sieges and events.

There's social organizations, there's religions, there's Mayor, there's Kings and Queens, there's Guild Leaders, there's Guild officers: All of those can incorporate particular types of titles that grant you access to certain things; and that's part of our risk versus reward. That's part of our not everybody gets a trophy. These are achievements that we want you to strive for and there's plenty of those types of achievements within the game because there's lots of nodes and there's lots of different pseudo factions that exist that you get to identify and say "Oh I'd like to do that particular thing very well and better than others." And you can strive to do so. – Steven Sharif

Metrics

Ashes of Creation gathers tracking data to facilitate achievements, titles and other accolades on a server.

• Number of successful siege defenses.
• Number of successful siege assaults.
• Number of Pvp kills.
• Number of Pvp deaths.
• Raid participation points.
• Number of firsts.

Visibility of those types of things on the server help to promote a competitive atmosphere. If there is an attainable impression that you can work towards, so that others know your success, you have more drive to succeed. – Steven Sharif

Account management

Ashes of Creation web site design preview (WIP).

The account management page is used to assign or reassign cosmetics to characters within an account.

• Cosmetics can be reassigned to other characters (alts), but can only be active on one character at a time.

• There will likely be a cooldown for reassigning cosmetics between characters.

Player to player trading

Alpha-2 player trading UI.

Alpha-2 trade request UI.

There is player-to-player trading in Ashes of Creation.

Q: Will Ashes of Creation have player-to-player trading? Will there be anything stopping me from gifting a friend that's fresh to the game a bunch of in-game money to help them get on their feet quickly?

A: There won't be anything to stop you from doing that. – Steven Sharif

• Player to player trading, interacting with vendors or NPCs, and the ability to access storage is disabled for corrupted players.

• Security systems are in place to combat RMT and other forms of cheating.

The nature of player to player trading already introduces that in an open economy game... that is why we have measures to attempt and heat flag suspicious transactions, active gms and other honeypot systems/agents that will be active in discovering those types of cheaters. – Steven Sharif

Mobile/web companion app

Alcune delle seguenti informazioni non sono state confermate di recente dagli sviluppatori e potrebbero non essere nell'attuale roadmap di sviluppo.

A companion app (mobile app/web interface) allows players who are not logged into the game to have authority over certain services and mechanics. Some functionality may come post-launch.

• Crop rotations.
• Giocatore bancarelle (Kiosks).
• Mayoral duties.
• Pay taxes.
• Fishing (potentially).
• Giochi di società (Tavern games).
• World event notifications.
• Node citizenship notifications.
• Player housing notifications.
• Guild leadership tools such as calendar notifications is a possible feature.

Specific dates that you can have running as reminders in your guild UI, this will also be something that I would like to be available on the mobile companion app as well. So essentially you can receive notifications via a calendar update on guild events that the leaders or the officers have the ability to pin within the game will also give you notifications on the mobile app as well. That's my intention at least. – Steven Sharif

Some of it may come post-launch... but we do want people to interact with the game on their phones when they're away from the computer; and we're going to do as much as we can to make that cool. – Jeffrey Bard

Character page

There is no planned in-game functionality to leave personal notes regarding player characters.

We don't plan to have in-game tools to provide that tracking. Instead you will be expected to track that yourselves. – Steven Sharif

Alcune delle seguenti informazioni non sono state confermate di recente dagli sviluppatori e potrebbero non essere nell'attuale roadmap di sviluppo.

A character sheet will be available closer to live launch that shows the following:

• What a character looks like.
• Successi and server firsts.
• Info on a player's class.
• Character's back story via journal entries (that are shared publicly by the player).
• Traits can be applied that describe a character's history.

You will have a unique homepage for each character and that homepage will be able to be customized by the user to display unique information. It will have a small out-of-game RPG component where you can construct background and traits and stuff like that. – Steven Sharif

The character page will be accessible in game by opening a browser through the UI.

That's part of the character sheet desire for us which hopefully will be accessible in game as well by opening a browser through our UI where you can get back history of a character that that character has input themselves into journal entries that they may choose to share with others... For role play perspective we want people to be in depth with their characters. – Steven Sharif

The player can manage what info is shown on the character page.
