Guild leaders
Leaders of guilds that occupy guild castles are referred to as Könige und Königinnen (also referred to as Lords).[2][3]
- A King or Queen may also be elected mayor of one node.[4]
- Lords of castles and Bürgermeister unlock special high-effect abilities with long cooldowns that can be used during sieges or events.[2][5]
- Mayors and lords of castles have spells they can use on the battlefield with high effect and long cooldowns for their teams.[2]
Guild leadership tools
The developers are considering a number of leadership tools for guilds:[6][7][8]
- Recruitment tools.[7][8]
- Management tools.[7][8]
- Delegation tools.[7][8]
- Motivational systems.[7][8]
- Communication tools.[7][8]
- Roster.[7][8]
- Standard guild ranks (such as Guild leader and officers).[10]
- Custom rank names.[10]
- A list of available permissions per rank/role.[10]
- Departments/micro-structures (such as battallions) within the guild structure with an associated leader.[11][10]
- Freehold permissions may be associated with these micro-structures.[11]
- The idea behind guild permissions for freeholds, is that within guilds there will be micro-structures of battallions etc. If we end up allowing guild permissions for freeholds it will likely only apply to the other members within the guild's micro-structure.[11] – Steven Sharif
- Audit logs may be available to guild leaders and officers.[12]
- Guild stats.[13]
- Information about guild membership, such as archetype and class makeup will be made available.[13]
- Access to guild stats is subject a permissions structure.[13]
- For me personally, being a guild leader of a very large guild in the past, these types of administrative functions are life savers for guild leaders... Guild leaders are a very important part of the community for MMORPGs in general and the reason for that is- think of it like a queen on the board- "I bring order to chaos". To a degree, guild leaders are that order to the chaos. They help organize- they do so through lieutenants- they delegate responsibilities. There are good leaders, there are bad leaders, but essentially it's a highly social environment and if you can find a good guild and that guild is augmented with complimentary services from the company, from the game itself, it just makes that life easier and allows them to execute better. So in my opinion that is an important aspect.[9] – Steven Sharif
- Guild management tools are expected to be available at the start of Alpha-2.[6]
Gildenvorteile
Gildenvorteile, die von den Entwicklern in Betracht gezogen werden:[7]
- Ausrüstungsverbesserungen.[14]
- Passive Fähigkeiten.[7]
- Abenteuer.[7]
- Gildenhallen.[7]
- Gildenfestungen.[7]
- Gildenaktivitäten.[7]
- Gildenname wird neben dem Charakternamen angezeigt.[15]
- Gilden Wappenröcke.[15]
- Gilden Reittiere.[15]
- Gilden Umhänge.[15]
- Gilden Barden.[15]
Undermounts
DerGildenleiter einer Burg kann Gildenoffizieren wärend einer Burgbelagerung den Einsatz fliegender undermounts (z.B wyrmlings) gewähren.[17][18][19][20]
- Diese können nur gewährt werden, wenn die Burg Node vor der Belagerung erreicht wurde.[20]
- Node A gewährt 1 Undermount, Node B gewährt 2 Undermounts und Node C gewährt 2 Undermounts.[21]
- Dieses System kann während der Tests geändert werden.[21]
Wenn man Burgbesitzer ist, kann mein seinen Offizieren Kleine Wyrmlinge schenken, diese können auch herumfliegen.[18] – Steven Sharif
Gildenentwicklung
Gildenentwicklung findet durch Teilnahme an verschiedenen Systemen statt.[22]
- Aufträge.[22][23]
- Nodes.[22]
- Soziale Organisationen.[22]
- Herstellen von gewissen Gegenständen.[23]
- Events.[23]
Passive Fähigkeiten und Erweiterungen werden durch Gildenentwicklung freigeschaltet.[22][24]
- Passive Fähigkeiten erhöhen gewisse Statuspunkte die sich auf den Kampf eines Gildenmitglieds auswirken, oder auf anderen Aspekten der Gilde, wie zum Beispiel der Wirtschaft.[22]
- Erweiterungen sind erst bei grösserem Gildenfortschritt verfügbar.[22]
- Gildenmitglieder müssen nicht Bürger desselben Knotenpunktes sein, um von passiven Fähigkeiten und Ergänzungen zu profitieren.[25]
Gildengrösse kann gegen Gildenentwicklung eingetauscht werden.[22][26]
- Je grösser die Anzahl an Gildenmitgliedern, desto weniger Auswahlmöglichkeiten für Fähigkeiten stehen der Gilde zur Verfügung.[27]
- Gildenallianzen können eine grosse Rolle darin spielen, grössere "Gilden" zu gründen.[26]
Wenn die Gilde aufsteigst, erhältst du diese Punkte, die entweder für die Erweiterung der Gildenmitgliederzahl oder für die Hinzufügung bestimmter passiver Fähigkeiten verwendet werden können, die die Gildenmitglieder durch ihre Mitgliedschaft in der Gilde erlangen können. Du wirst auch sehen, wie die Gilde durch verschiedene Arten von Quest-, Beteiligungs-, Node- und Organisationssystemen aufsteigen und wie diese Quests in die Welt eingebunden werden. Du wirst möglicherweise auch sehen, dass einige Erweiterungsfähigkeiten auf den oberen Rängen der Gildenebene für bestimmte Mitglieder mit der Klassifizierung „Offizier“ oder „Ritter“ freigeschaltet werden und Zugriff auf diese verschiedenen Arten von Erweiterungsfähigkeiten haben, die möglicherweise freigeschaltet werden, wenn du dorthin gehst entlang der nicht expansiven Mitgliedsspur; Die Idee dabei ist, diese Vorteile auch kleineren Gruppen anzubieten.[22] – Steven Sharif
Es wird nicht immer ein Kampf sein. Ihr könntet eine Gilde mit wirtschaftlichem Fokus gründen. Ihr könnt eine handelsorientierte Gilde haben; Und es gibt alle möglichen Dinge, die ihr zusammenstellen könnt, um eurer Gilde eine eigene Identität zu verleihen.[22] – Jeffrey Bard
Ausrüstungsverbesserungen
Ausrüstungsverbesserungen (Kraftsteine/Runen) können an Waffen angebracht werden, um der Waffe Elementar- oder Energieschaden zu verleihen.[28][29]
We are very likely going to have a rune system and then we'll have the ability to sort of enchant weapons outside of that too... That's not always going to be like a vertical progression... Some of it's going to be giving up something to get something else; so maybe I do less physical damage but more magical damage, that thing.[29] – Jeffrey Bard
- Fortschritt in verschiedenen PvP Systemen, kann man Verzauberungssteine erhalten, welche temporäre PvP-Vorteile verleihen. (Sockelsystem).[14] Performance is measured over six month PvP seasons.[30]
It's not as though you're going to necessarily acquire these once and then you're set for your PvP enchantments, but instead you'll have to continually perform month after month in order to keep having those slotted enchantments.[14] – Steven Sharif
Gildenmitgliedschaft
Ein Charakter kann nur einer Gilde zugehören.[31]
- Alts desselben Accounts können verschiedenen Gilden beitreten.
- Intrigen, Spionage und Informationsgewinnung sind legitime Aspekte dieses Spiels.
- Eine Gilde hat nur einen Gildenanführer.[32]
- Der Anführer einer Gilde kann geändert werden. Was passiert, wenn ein Gildenanführer die Gilde im Stich lässt, ist bisher ungewiss.[33]
- Gildenanführer können den Gildenmitgliedern Auszahlungen erteilen.[34]
Guild invites
Characters may be invited to join a guild from anywhere on Verra.[35]
- Invites can be done through the guild UI.[35]
- There will also be a guild invite chat command.[35]
Server reservations
Server reservations allow guild members as well as unaffiliated players to reserve character slots on a server starting in the Beta testing stages of the game.[36]
This would likely be utilized more so by guilds than that would be solo or unaffiliated players; and I believe that the solo player they may have friends that they want to play with. That's fine, they can also still with those friends do the reservation system, but the player who is just joining the game fresh and doesn't have a community that they're part of, I don't think they really mind in that regard and will not utilize that system.[36] – Steven Sharif
Gildenhallen
Gildenhallen dienen als Anlaufstelle für eine Gilde und bieten eine Vielzahl von Vorteilen und Anpassungsoptionen. [38]
- Gildenhallen können auf Gildengrundstücken oder innerhalb von nodes platziert werden.[39][40][41]
- In-Node-Gildenhallen können nur von Patron-Gilden dieser Node beansprucht werden. Diese haben andere Vergünstigungen und Vorteile als Hallen auf Eigentumsgrundstücken. [41]
- Wenn eine Gilde ein bestimmtes Level erreicht, erhält ihr Gildenmeister ein Gildeneigentumszertifikat, um die Platzierung einer Gildenhalle zu ermöglichen.[39]
- Gildenhallen sind Ziele in Gildenkriegen. .[42]
- Gildenhallen können nur durch eine erfolgreiche Nodebelagerung zerstört werden. Dies steht im Gegensatz zu Gildenfestungen, die in einem Gildenkrieg belagert werden können. [39][42][43]
- Eine Gildenhalle beherbergt nur eine einzige Gilde.[44]
Gildenhallen sind der ultimative Ausdruck der Macht einer Gilde! In Ashes dienen diese Strukturen als Brennpunkte für eine Gilde und bieten allen Gilden, die sie errichten, eine ganze Reihe von Vorteilen sowie Anpassungsoptionen.[38]
Guild freeholds
Sobald eine Gilde ein bestimmtes Level erreicht, erhält der Gildenmeister ein Gilden-Grundbesitz-Zertifikat, welches ihm die Platzierung einer Gildenhalle ermöglicht.[39]
Vorteile
Gildenhallen unlock actions a guild can perform within a node.[45]
- Allow guilds to participate in the shareholder system.[45]
Gildenschlösser
Five guild castles exist in Ashes of Creation.[48][47][49]
- Each of the five castles has its own static layout. Castle siege defenses include deploying traps and blockades within the castle, as well as hiring mercenary NPCs to defend specific locations.[48][50][51][52]
- While the hard structural environment is static and not able to be- you're not building a castle if you own a castle, you're inheriting a historic ruined castle that is representative of the past because it has some tie-in to specific types of powers that we haven't gotten into from a lore perspective yet but we haven't expressed to the community. That's something that we're going to leave for the community to find out when they play. But when you place mercenaries and you place those blockades and you place those traps, that affects the level design of the castle according to the strategy you might use to defend it.[48] – Steven Sharif
- Burgbelagerungen occur in the open world but may become instanced based on testing.[53]
- There is one castle located on an island that is able to be affected by naval combat.[57][58]
- Castles will initially be occupied by an NPC adversary. These are the primary antagonists in the storyline. Gilden have a period of time to level up in order to siege these castles.[59][60]
- These Castles are occupied when players arrive on Verra, and their current inhabitants will have to be removed before any player can claim them. Castles will be dangerous and high-level raid zones until they can be cleared, and the first group of players to do so will gain the Castle as their reward.[47]
Vorteile
Gildenschlösser provide benefits and trophies for guilds that capture and control them.[46][63]
- These benefits increase the longer a guild holds its castle.[46]
There are levers and dials that are present to both the owners of Castles as well as the elected officials of Nodes that during their administration they have the ability to impact and influence the region around them.[64] – Steven Sharif
Guild castles exert a King or Queen's presence over nodes within their region.[46][64][65]
- Levy taxes for the purposes of defense (additional to taxes already imposed by node governments).[46][65]
- Activate events and abilities that benefit node citizens under their rule.[46][65]
- Establish special relationships with Bürgermeister to help build up the three dedicated castle nodes.[46]
- Unlock additional types of buildings in nodes.[65]
- Exert control and pressure over one of the five economic regions.[46]
Burgbelagerungen
Gilden participate in Burgbelagerungen in an effort to capture and occupy one of the five guild castles in Ashes of Creation.[49]
- The minimum goal is for 250x250 players to be on a single battlefield. It is hoped that this can be increased to 500x500 over time.[71][72][73][74]
- There will be systems that mimic some of the mechanics of sieges, but there won't be practice sieges.[75]
- There may be instanced locations within otherwise open-world castle and node sieges, where specific groups can participate in small, short duration objective-based battles that will affect the overall outcome of the siege.[76]
- I love castle-based gameplay. I love trophies. I like rewarding risk a lot; and for me it's very difficult to imagine a MMO that I would want to play where there is not competition of strategic prowess that determines the outcome of these types of events and there is not a meaningful reward both mechanically and from just a bragging rights perspective that players can aim for and try to achieve. I think that it brings a lot to the game when it comes to motivations, to excel, to level, to gain power, to engage those different progression loops when there is an ultimate goal or trophy that is not static and doesn't exist forever once you achieve it, but that you must constantly perform in order to maintain; and that's really the purpose of these castles.[77] – Steven Sharif
A guild that captures a castle will own that castle for a month before it is sieged again.[78][60]
- Each week leading up to the siege week... is a week that's dedicated to one of the three castle dedicated nodes. So around the castle there are three nodes. They represent week, one, two, and three; and then the fourth week is the siege against the castle. Those can only be elevated up to stage three. We've discussed this in the past and there's definitely information out there on the community ran wiki.[78] – Steven Sharif
- In the first three weeks that a guild occupies a castle they will need to level up each of their castle nodes to Dorf stage through questing.[78][60]
- The fourth week is declaration week, where other guilds have the opportunity to lay down their declaration flag or to sign up as a defender of the castle.[78][60]
- Depending on how well the guild defends their castle nodes results in better defenses for the castle.[60][79]
- Different siege weaponry will grant the attackers the ability to destroy walls, doors and sections of the castle in order to gain access to the inner keep area.[80]
- When castles change hands (following a siege), some taxes stay with the castle and some stay with the guild.[81]
- There will be benefits to attracting people... even if they're not in your guild or alliance – a feudal like system, where you can attract other players who are just independent of this whole politic. They will have things to do there - benefits to receive - and there will be a reciprocal relationship between who you can attract, what they do for you; and how that benefits you and them.[60] – Steven Sharif
Alpha-1 castle sieges
Alpha-1 castle sieges are based on Ashes of Creation Apocalypse castle sieges.[85][56]
- Players will be able to join guilds. These guilds can register for the siege events.[83]
- Castle siege events will be 100v100 battles that occur daily and will last for three hours.[83]
- Attackers will start on the opposite end of the map (from the defenders).[83]
- Attackers will be able to use trebuchets to drive to and assault the castle.[83]
- When the attackers have breached the castle they will be able to channel a cast on the relic in the throne room to try to capture the castle from the defenders.[83]
- The victors of castle sieges will receive benefits, such as cloaks, flying mounts for guild leaders and potentially also for guild officers.[83]
- Alpha-1 castle sieges are in a separate zone that is accessible via a NPC teleporter.[54][55][53]
- Currently the siege zone is actually in the open world, but separated by mountains and off in the sea a bit. There is actually no instancing in A1, although the siege zone will only be accessible in A1 through a registration NPC teleporter.[54] – Steven Sharif
- This zone includes the following raid bosses.[85]
- These bosses will also appear in the open-world (outside the siege zone) with slightly different mechanics.[55]
- The opposing team is notified when these raid bosses are being attacked.[85]
- Teams who get the last hit on these bosses will receive buffs that will help them in the siege battle.[85]
Last year, I spoke of attempting to incorporate sieges into the Alpha One experience. This has obviously been a goal of mine because it provides considerable data and a consistent event within the world that players can participate in to help stress test the deployment. Well, I am happy to say that it is appearing more and more likely by the day! Initial implementation of the Apocalypse siege code has been migrated into the Alpha One client, and we should begin internal testing next month. I will caveat this expectation with the fact that we are cutting it a bit close from an internal QA standpoint, but I have some confidence that the system will be online and capable of inclusion for the Alpha One test in the month of June. The siege component will obviously not be representative of what the siege system will be at launch, or even in Alpha Two.[56] – Steven Sharif
- Destructible structures (such as walls and gates) are present in Alpha-1 castle sieges.[86]
- The ability to repair structures (and siege weapons) is a long term design goal that will not be present during Alpha-1.[86]
