Player movement

Walking and running shown in pre-alpha gameplay.

• Sprinting will consume a percentage of a character's mana pool. Sprinting will not be permitted while in combat.
  • A sprinting/dash skill with a cooldown was confirmed to be part of a class kit.

I've instructed design to incorporate a mana consumption that's percentage based for sprinting. So it'll be a similar amount of time that each class, regardless of their mana values, will have in order to sprint and it will not be accessible while in a combat. – Steven Sharif

• There is a toggleable walk/run (autorun) capability.

• There is not going to be any "go to waypoint" (auto-pathing) mechanics.

• Back-peddling (walking backwards) and strafing are slower than normal movement speed.

• Double-jumping has been considered as an option for player mounts.

• Unreal Engine 5 mantling was demonstrated by the developers.

Utility skills

Alpha-2 Waldläufer Camouflage skill.

We have what are called utility skills and a lot of MMORPGS really only focus on active combat skills, but some of the favorite things that I've had as a gamer is tabletop RPGs like Pathfinder or Dungeons and Dragons, and there are skills in those games that are relevant to either your environment or the quest line; and they're a little bit sometimes "story mode". – Steven Sharif

A utility skill is a typically non-combat skill that interacts with the environment and offers counters and horizontal progression against other archetype abilities. Utility skills lend themselves toward how classes navigate and deal with hazards in the world.

When we think about utilities, some of the examples of those utilities might be a Rogue has invisibility. How do you address invisibility? Well, a Ranger might have a utility ability that spawns a Hound that trails invisible targets within an AoE radius of the Ranger and you get that location. Whereas, a Mage might have an Arcane Eye that actually reveals them to the party of the raid. Those are the types of utility skills that we want to create. They offer counters and horizontal progression against the other archetype abilities. – Steven Sharif

• Klassen will have different utility abilities, such as detecting traps and other hazards. For example: The Mage's detection spell casts light and reveals magical explosive hazards.
  • Certain classes are able to climb/parkour in certain areas. This is not a free-form ability. It will likely be restricted to certain quests, locations or objects.
  • Certain classes (such as Rogues) will have stealth abilities.

Q: What kind and how many special or unique activities can we expect classes to perform outside of combat, such as rogue's opening locks, tracking enemies as a ranger, or removing corruption from the ground as a cleric?

A: Just thirty minutes ago I was talking about those utility abilities like finding tracks, or cleansing poisons, arcane eye to reveal secret passages. The idea is how do we blend the traditional tabletop RPG role of utility and/or skill checks into the setting of a graphical MMORPG; and I think that it's both a complement of the skill kit that's available and how it interacts with the world for those curated or special designs within these locations. So to answer that question: that is intended- we've shown a little bit of that in the past and it is something that we want to make feel compelling and rewarding and viable as a use-case scenario in many different settings that you might find yourself in within the world. – Steven Sharif

• All classes will have maneuverability/traversal utility abilities.
• Utility skills exist that can help players discover hidden paths and entrances and may lead to discovering hidden quests while exploring.
• Certain objects exist in the world (such as ladders and slides) that aid player mobility.

We don't just have the approach of your class being reflected in your combat abilities but also there are utility abilities that certain classes have that other classes don't have. – Steven Sharif

Einige der folgenden Informationen wurden nicht kürzlich von den Entwicklern bestätigt und befinden sich möglicherweise nicht auf der aktuellen Entwicklungs-Roadmap.

• There will be a grappling hook utility skill or item.
• Rogues may also have a spyglass utility skill.

Collision

There are player and spell/projectile collision mechanics in Ashes of Creation.

• Inertia and momentum physics will help prevent blocking doorways/access points. This is based on a character's direction and movement speed, and can be used to push people out of the way.

• Reittiere and players cannot stop caravans and other vehicles from moving. Nothing can move or block ships.

• Specific ranged skills will have a pushback effect but this is not inherent to all ranged abilities.

• Player collision inherently limits the number of individuals that can be affected by AoE skills.

• Not all projectiles can be body-blocked.

Not all projectiles can be body-blocked. Some potentially can, but there will be certain abilities and effects, like a shield wall, that can that can be brought up and that will obscure line-of-sight to the target as well; and it will restrict some of those attacks from occurring. – Steven Sharif

Mobilität

Revamped Alpha-1 Magier Fireball ability.

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. – Tradd Thompson

• The revamped combat system features split-body animations, where the character's upper body can be locked by weapon attack animations while the lower body is free to continue moving.

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. – 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.
  • Movement speed can decrease significantly depending on the type of ability.
  • Weapon weight can also affect mobility.
  • Fähigkeiten with the greatest power may require the caster to remain stationary while channeling them. This is a risk vs. reward mechanic.

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. – Steven Sharif

• Ranged archetypes will have gap openers to counter gap closers from archetypes like the Kämpfer.

That's the cat-and-mouse of these abilities. Like we've seen with the Ranger, they have a backflip, they have their Airdrop [sic] ability. The Mage has teleportation. There are going to be abilities that are tit-for-tat; and managing the resource of those abilities and the timing of when you use them to either correlate to your opponent's use of those things, or to save them for yourself when you want to get away, that's part of what makes the engagements dynamic and different each time. – Steven Sharif

• Unreal Engine 5 has enabled improved forms of locomotion, such as crouching, tilting and mantling.
  • Crouching may or may not be in the game.

• The ability to prone is not be in the game.

• Moving backward will likely not affect block and parry.

• Player movement speed during combat is balanced for both PvE and PvP.

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. – Steven Sharif

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

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. – 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. – Steven Sharif

Ausweichen

Ausweichen 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.

• Ausweichen 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

Armor characteristics

Kaelar armor.

Ihr werdet nicht für jede Begegnung, der ihr begegnen könntet, eine Rüstung bekommen, die situationsbedingt relevant ist – das ist verrückt – und deshalb müsst ihr es schaffen, Sets zu erwerben, die für die Situation relevant sind Arten von Begegnungen, denen ihr euch stellen möchtet. – Steven Sharif

Rüstungseigenschaften werden im Allgemeinen durch den "Typ" der Rüstung bestimmt. (leicht, mittel, schwer).

• Stat Werte werden überwiegend gleich sein, können aber möglicherweise von Handwerkern angepasst werden, die mit dieser Art von Rüstung vertraut sind.
  • Physische Verteidigungsminderung.
  • Abschwächung der magischen Verteidigung.

• Die Statistikwerte für Rüstungen können sowohl Schadensverursachungs- als auch Schadensminderungsstatistiken umfassen. {livestream|2022-03-31|1h17m32|J_1q7Djv-Lw}}

Bestimmte Rüstungstypen werden bestimmte Arten von vorherrschenden Statwerten haben. Es wird also bestimmte Wasserfallstats und/oder bestimmte primäre Attribute geben, die für bestimmte Rüstungstypen verfügbar sind; und wenn ihr dann eine haben möchtet, die nicht mehr oft erhältlich ist – diese werden selten zu bekommen sein – müsst ihr die Dienste eines Handwerkers in Anspruch nehmen, der in dieser bestimmten Art von Rüstung sehr fähig ist, um die nicht traditionelle Rüstung zu erhalten Stats und/oder Wasserfälle verfügbar. Es gibt also immer noch die Möglichkeit, alles darauf zu bekommen, aber sie werden für bestimmte Arten von Stats und Wasserfällen stärker vorbestimmt sein – Steven Sharif

• Set Boni werden Trägern von ausschließlich einer Rüstungsart gewährt, zum Beispiel: ganz aus Stoff, oder alles aus Platten.

Es wird bestimmte Arten von Setboni geben, die für bestimmte vollständige Sets oder Teilsets von Rüstungstypen gewährt werden. Es wird eine ähnliche Funktion geben, wie Schaden gemildert wird, basierend auf der Art der Rüstung, die Sie tragen, und wie sich dies auf physischen oder magischen eingehenden Schaden bezieht. Das ist also etwas, das man im Hinterkopf behalten sollte. Es wird situativ sein, welcher Art von gegnerischem Feind ich gegenüberstehe und welche Rüstung am besten dagegen geeignet ist, um den Schaden zu mindern – Steven Sharif

• Die „Art“ der Rüstung (Stoff, Leder, Platte) die ein Charakter überwiegend trägt, ist auf seinem Namensschild ersichtlich.
  • Es wird Stärken und Schwächen für Rüstungssets geben, die Gegner beispielsweise mit Ausrüstungsverbesserungen ausnutzen können.

Ihr werdet bestimmte Stärken und Schwächen von Rüstungssets haben und diese können von euren Gegnern angepasst werden. Zum Beispiel könnte ich eine Art von elementaren Verbesserungen an meiner Waffe anbringen, die meinen ausgehenden Schaden horizontal ändert und die sich basierend auf dem Gegner auf meinen Zielgegner widerspiegelt und welche Art von Rüstung euch zur Verfügung steht, um dem entgegenzuwirken – Steven Sharif

• Die Wahl des Gegenstands kann sich möglicherweise auf universelle Fertigkeiten wie Ausweichen, Parieren, und aktives Blocken auswirken .

Wir spielen ein bisschen mit der Idee dieser universellen Fähigkeiten wie Ausweichen, Parieren, Blocken, aktives Blocken und solche Sachen; und Fortschritt in diesen Bereichen. Ich denke, es spricht einiges dafür, die Auswahl der Items auch als Teil dieses Systems zu integrieren; und wie es dieses System beeinflussen könnte. Das ist etwas, von dem ich denke, dass es hier kurz nach dem Design in der Pitch-Phase auftauchen wird, wenn wir diese universellen Fähigkeiten implementieren. Sie können also in Zukunft nach weiteren Informationen darüber Ausschau halten. – Steven Sharif

Inventory (weight)

Alpha-2 materials inventory user interface.

Inventory for A2 will exist in two categories, spatial and non-spatial. The spatial inventory system will only exist for materials and gatherables. The non-spatial system will be the normal single slot inventory that is used for all completed items IE gear, consumables etc.. The spatial system is intended to provide limitation and progression when everything in the open world is gatherable, requiring players to strategize which things they choose to gather or not. These spatial inventories will be shaped in various ways that make the bag types more conducive for certain types of gatherables allowing players to specialize their capacity. Auto sort is a feature – Steven Sharif

Inventar capacity has quantity (stacking) limits based on the type of item. Rucksäcke offer varying stack sizes and/or spatial inventory shapes that are optimized for carrying different items.

• A player's inventory has sections for different types of items. Quest items for example will not fill a player's regular inventory capacity.
  • Materials and resource bags have spatial ("Tetris" style) slots for items with different shapes and sizes.
  • The spatial inventory system is intended to mitigate the potential for players to diminish land management scores by stripping resources from particular zones as well as provide a challenging gameplay layer for players.

Inventory is split into two separate management systems. The first is your non-material, non-gatherable slots. Those are your standard single slot, not-space-constrained system that's a standard inventory: you just have a single slot, and you can pull completed items and/or consumables and quest items or whatever into that slot. And then, when you're talking about materials, specifically processed goods and gatherables: those exist within the Tetris type uh inventory system. – Steven Sharif

• Gegenstände are placed into the most suitable inventory slots by default.

All those materials actually sorted nicely in the appropriate bags based on your stack sizes. – Alex Khudoliy

• There will be a healthy number of slots for gear in a player's inventory.
  • Completed item inventory slots are not space constrained (by the tetris system).
  • Completed items, such as gear are also not subject to weight limits.
  • Gear loadouts can be swapped using a hotkey when out of combat.

• Inventory capacity will be relatively limited for new characters. Additional capacity may be increased by obtaining higher quality backpacks from crafters.

We want to have very unique progression when it comes to the construction of resource bags; and those resource bags will have certain benefits, like increasing stack size count of particular types of resources; or of having a additional delay time necessary to interface with with your corpse, should a player try to take the resources you might have dropped in PvP; or having passive benefits and unique structures of spacing that makes it more a better bag for wood gathering because woods are three-by-one; or a better bag for mining because mining is always two-by-two. The idea is to make your intent as a gatherer when you go out into the wild specific right not just that you're going out into the wild and gathering everything you can because it's there; and that's what we don't have like a labor system that limits it. We have a space constraint system so when you leave your node and you go out into the wild you need to be conscientious of what you're choosing to interact with and take resources for, because you have a limited space constraint to that degree. – Steven Sharif

• Inventory capacity is subject to quantity rather than weight limits.

In my opinion, and this is of course subjective, but weight management is not a compelling mechanic for players to have to deal with in an MMO setting. – Steven Sharif

• Players will have the ability to search for items they have stored in various locations (such as personal storage and node warehouses).

We want you to know where the things are; and then the meaningful aspect of that thing is traveling to those locations to access some of those things, particularly as it relates to materials and raw gatherables. – Steven Sharif

• Inventories will be able to be sorted.

Q: Why did you go for a spatial inventory system for resources?

A: There's a number of different methods that we can use in an effort to mitigate, or again throttle, the amount of success that players can have in any one trip out in the world. Now, we're using a combination of three things: We are using progression gating through your profession level; so you need to have a certain level to access certain resources. We are utilizing the spatial inventory space as a limitation on how much things you can gather before you need to go back to town. And then lastly we have a tool predicate where you need to have a tool that is relevant for the resource you're gathering; and those tools have a decay value after each use. Weight is obviously an approach that we could take if we wanted to limit. However, the spatial system works in concert with a number of other types of systems. For example, we want to have itemization drop on death specifically as it relates to material items; and we want there to be an additional layer above just weight that introduces complexity; and where there is complexity there is choice and there is strategy and there is planning required on behalf of the player in order to set themselves up for the best possible success in certain situations. – Steven Sharif

Einige der folgenden Informationen wurden nicht kürzlich von den Entwicklern bestätigt und befinden sich möglicherweise nicht auf der aktuellen Entwicklungs-Roadmap.

• Maultiere can carry roughly 10 times more than backpacks. Caravans can carry roughly 10 times more than mules.

• Inventar expansion and weight management training certificates are available in the Galleria at Großstadt stage economic nodes.

Alpha-1 swimming.

Der Zugang zu Unterwasser-Inhalten soll einfach sein.

• Charaktere können ihre Fähigkeiten unter Wasser verwenden.

Public transportation

There are multiple types of public transportation services where players can go AFK and be driven somewhere.

• Players can visit a node building and pay a fee to be driven via road to another node on their land mount of choice.
  • The node building can be upgraded to become a flight path, which allows longer direct connections to other nodes within a specific region that also have a flight path.

• Luftschiffe between metropolises. This was previously stated to be between scientific metropolises.
• It is possible that some public transportation services could be player-driven.

One of the nodes has the idea of an airship that can go from node to node and I'm certain that we will have harbors that do similar things with other node types... It might be something that could be player-driven... We're sure to have a taxi system where you load up a couple people and you drive them somewhere while you AFK. – Jeffrey Bard

Summoning mounts

Diese Übersetzung ist möglicherweise veraltet

Summoning a mount in Alpha-1.

We want to make sure that it's not cumbersome to quickly mount a steed and start moving... Steeds play a very important role in mobility. – Steven Sharif

Reittiere sind items die Spieler tragen und dann aktivieren, um das Reittier in der Nähe zu beschwören .

• Reittiere können im Allgemeinen während des Kampfes in der offenen Welt Welt beschworen werden.
  • In bestimmten Dungeon, Instanzen oder anderen Räumen, in denen das Beschwören von Reittieren nicht erlaubt ist, kann es Ausnahmen davon geben.

Ein Reittier kann ein Initiationsfahrzeug sein; es kann ein Fluchtfahrzeug sein; es kann ein Nutzfahrzeug sein; es kann Traversal sein. – Steven Sharif

• Reittiere aus der Zucht werden über ein Item beschworen, der in einem Stall erhältlich ist.

Reittiere werden Gegenstände sein, die du auf deinem Charakter tragen und aktivieren kannst, um das Reittier vor dir oder in deiner Nähe zu beschwören; wo du dann auf dem Reittier reiten kannst. – Steven Sharif

• Ein Spieler kann absteigen und sein Reittier folgt ihm.
  • In aktuellen Alpha-1-Tests sind Reittiere nicht vom Spieler getrennt, aber in Zukunft werden Reittiere es sein.

Im Moment haben wir das Reittier nicht vom Spieler per se getrennt. Automatisch steibst du auf das Reittier auf, wenn du es in der Alpha beschwörst. Aber in Zukunft wirst du es beschwören können und musst nicht automatisch aufsteigen. Es wird einfach neben dir stehen, es wird dir auf deinen Weg folgen und du kann aufsitzen wann immer du möchtest. – Steven Sharif

• Wenn du die Beschwörung des Reittiers umkehrst, kehrt der Gegenstand zurück in das Inventar des Spielers.

Schnellreise

Diese Übersetzung ist möglicherweise veraltet

Schnellreisen ist beschränkt in Ashes of Creation.

• Reittiere bieten schnellere Fortbewegung.
• Es gibt nur sehr wenig Teleportation in der Welt.
  • Wissenschaftliche Metropolen bieten Schnellreise zu Nodes innerhalb ihrer Einflusszone.
• Es gibt keine "zum Wegpunkt gehen" (automatische Wegfindung) Mechaniken.

There is very little teleportation in the world. Some of that does get unlocked through metropolises of a certain type. Additionally there are mounts that are faster travel and there are services that are fast travel between nodes. – Steven Sharif

Schnelleres Reisen

Schnelleres Reisen in Ashes of Creation refers to the use of player ridden mounts and automated creatures that connect certain nodes.

• Public transportation via system driven land mounts or flying mounts.
• There is not going to be any "go to waypoint" (auto-pathing) mechanics (outside of these mechanics).

There will be connection points between certain nodes via the use of like flying automated creatures that you can use. – Steven Sharif

Estimated travel times

So why is travel important? We've talked about this in the past, the reasons why. We've all existed in games where teleportation is very easy to use and sometimes that can be a detriment because you may have activities like a caravan run that's happening and one person sees you from a certain guild and they do the raid callout to their guild "everyone open your portals and come here within a split second and we're going to just mob this group". No, well instead that opportunity doesn't exist. If you want to provoke or to gank an operation of another guild, you need to have foreknowledge. You need to prepare. You need to place your forces around that area; and that is an important aspect. In addition, it makes that travel meaningful. If you are having to spend time to move to a location, you're going to think about what can I do along the way? Why am I moving to that location? How is it more beneficial for me to be in that location versus where I am now? This is also in association with the fact that you are a citizen of a particular node and that node needs your assistance within its vicinity; and if you want to move outside of that vicinity there should be a really good reason for that and there's lots of great reasons for it. – Steven Sharif

Travel objective	Running.	Mounted.
From one end of a Metropole (Stufe 6) node to the other	2.83 minutes	1.67 minutes
From the center of a node to the center of its direct neighbor	5 minutes	3.5 minutes
From the northernmost to southernmost points of a continent	75 minutes	50 minutes
