Es wird einige Animationen geben, die bestimmten Völker und Klassen einen besonderen Flair verleihen, aber im Allgemeinen werden die Animationen so oft wie möglich wiederverwendet, um die Entwicklungszeit zu verkürzen..[1]

We will have things that are known as sort of like racial abilities which will key into the class that you've chosen and those will almost certainly have animations that are one-offs that are associated with that class. They'll help you get some more like Ren'Kai flavor or some more Empyrean flavor but we have to reuse animations as much as possible in order to get to the finish line here so it'd be a super nice thing to do but probably not in the cards.[1]Jeffrey Bard

Idle animations

Idle animations (non-combat idle stances) will be selectible by players in the character creator.[3]

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.[3]Steven Sharif

Animation abbrechen

Animation abbrechen will not be a combat mechanic in Ashes of Creation.[4][5]

Root motion

Revamped Alpha-1 Magier Fireball ability.[6][7]

The general approach that we're taking based on a lot of feedback and just good combat design in general. You know philosophy is that we want to give more agency in the hands of the player and the antithesis of that is locking the player down for really long amounts of time. The sort of concept behind that is like you could make an animation effects as glorious looking as possible but if it's taking away control of the player, none of that really matters. Especially the 100th or thousandth time you're using the spell you're tired of that happening you don't feel powerful: You feel the opposite of powerful. So we're trying to like give a lot of control back to the player while they're using these abilities so they can still control their movements, they can react simultaneously while they're taking actions; and we just want to get overall more of a fluid flow, I guess, of combat. And that's the general design philosophy we're using to approach the overhaul.[6]Tradd Thompson

A lot of abilities you have the capability of moving while casting. It's going to decrease your movement speed significantly or depending on the type of ability. We do reserve the cost- and that's really what it is when you tie ability usage to mobility- we do reserve the cost of requiring the character to remain stationary on some big effect type abilities.[8]Steven Sharif
  • Most abilities in Ashes of Creation are capable of being cast while moving. Some abilities may slow the caster down during the cast, but only rarely will the player be rooted in place.[8][13]
Most abilities you'll find in Ashes of Creation are capable of being cast while moving. Some of those abilities might slow your movement during the cast, but you can continue to move. Very rarely, and depending on obviously the importance of the ability or the power level of that ability, you might be rooted in place. So, for example, the AoE ability [Chains of Restraint] has a lot going on. It has damage ticking over time, it is an area of effect, it also has a status condition application; and in those instances the player character gets rooted.[13]Steven Sharif
  • Unreal Engine 5 has enabled improved forms of locomotion, such as crouching, tilting and mantling.[16][17]
    • Crouching may or may not be in the game.[18][19]
  • The ability to prone is not be in the game.[18][19]
There's a balance in the game design between your movement speed on attack and the movement speed of your opponent. When you have a game that is both PvE centric as well as PvP centric, you have to make sure that combat is blended for both approaches; and we can always run into problems where, if you're significantly hampered in your movement speed, that has an effect on how we expect player versus player engagements to interact; and we don't want to restrict a player's ability to be mobile if they're the target of an attack. And as a result of that we need to make sure that we don't restrict the movement abilities of the player who is doing the attacking as well. So we want it to be relatively free for you to stay with each other. Your opponents move around the battlefield together and if we're hampering you on the attack action, we have to then implement some type of snare, or slow, or cc effect essentially on your opposing target; and that's not the approach we want to take for for PvP.[21]Steven Sharif
If we're talking about Fighter, they're going to have a lot of heavy gap closers. They can probably be a little bit more liberal in the use of their gap closers because they have so many of them, versus let's say a Ranger that needs to choose when to use their escape abilities, because they have fewer of them. The same would be true for a melee character like a rogue. Their approach vector is going to be more stealth-driven than it would be perhaps let's say from a gap-closer perspective.[22]Steven Sharif
Q: If a ranger is super mobile, what are the melee's options in order to catch them?
A: Different class kits will provide different gap closers. They'll provide different mobility skills. They'll have lockdowns. They'll have chains to pull back. They'll have a lot of different things in the rotation. That's part of what an MMORPG experience is. You're not just restricted to three or six skills, you have a rotational suite; and depending on the type of challenges you face is going to help determine which of those rotations you spec into from your skill tree.[23]Steven Sharif

Skill Icon Base skill
Air Strike Air Strike New.png Leap a great distance forward and into the air while firing three projectiles in a line along the path, each dealing area damage and rooting targets hit for 3 seconds. Rotation control is enabled during cast.[24] The root effect is nature based.[25]
Blink Blink.png Instantly teleport a set distance in the direction you are moving.[26][27]
Call of the Wild Call of the Wild Icon.png Remove all movement impairing effects and increase movement speed by 20% for 8 seconds. Snares and Roots effects applied to the caster are ignored.[28]
Caravan Trail Speed Bonus Trail Speed Bonus.png Minor speed boost for travelling on a simple trail.[29]
Rush rush icon.png Rush toward a target; and upon reaching the target, deal an amount damage with a chance to knock the target down.[30]
Speed Boost Speed Boost.png Gives the caravan a temporary speed boost.[31]
Wings of Salvation Wings of Salvation.png Sprout phoenix-like wings and leap to target ally, then grant a small amount of temporary health to that target on arrival.[32][33] An ally is defined as any non-combatant player or non-mob NPC.[34]

Weapon weights

Das Waffengewichts bezieht sich darauf, wie sich die Masse einer Waffe auf ihre Leistung im Kampf auswirkt. [9]

There is a balance between player motion and agency as we call it and weapon weightedness- that almost locked-in-place rooted position- the heavier the weapon is, the more restrictions you want to place on that player agency to showcase the rooted effect: That weight- that heavyweight aspect; and so what we've done by presenting you guys with both the dual daggers and the two-handed weapon is we've shown the range between that complete player agency: a player agency in the light weapon attacks that's the dual daggers, and the maximum range of of rootedness or weightedness that's present on the two-handed weapon; and that's the spectrum in which our basic melee combat will exist within. So if there are medium weapon groups that exist in-between there, it's going to be somewhere in between that spectrum.[36]Steven Sharif

Soziale Animationen

Es gibt interaktive soziale Animationen und Emotes.[39]

Einige Animationen sind vereinbarte Emotes, die ihr mit anderen Characteren initiieren könnt.[42]

Q:Können wir auf Tischen tanzen?
A: Technisch gesehen sind die Tische in der Welt, also ja...[43]Steven Sharif

Es können Emotes mit Reittieren und Haustieren verbunden sein, z. B. Streicheln, Umarmen oder Spielen mit ihnen.[44]

In Alpha eins habt ihr vielleicht einige der Animationen auf dem Reiter eines Pferdes gesehen, dass ihr absteigt und die Seite des Halses tätscheltet, oder würdet diese streicheln; aber das wären eine separate Aktion, die ihr möglicherweise nur als zusätzliche Emotes ausführen könnt, die jedoch mit einem Reittier oder Haustier verbunden sind, das ihr aktiv habt. [44]Steven Sharif

Water animations

Der Zugang zu Unterwasser-Inhalten soll einfach sein.[46]
