Karawanen facilitate the transfer of goods for players wishing to turn a profit.[2]

Das Karawanen-System ist ein PvP-System in der offenen Welt, das sich um Chancen und Risiken dreht. Karawanen erleichtern den Warentransfer für Spieler, die mit Gütern Gewinn erzielen möchten.[2]

  • Karawanen können nur von Knotenpunkten mit (mindestens) Dorf-Stufe versandt, und in Empfang genommen werden.[5]
  • Karawanen können Güter von mehreren Spielern transportieren.[6]

Karawanen-Typen

Es gibt verschiedene Arten von Karawanen in Ashes of Creation.[9][10]

Das Karawanen-System ist ein weiter, sehr großer Teil des Kontenpunkt-Systems. Sie haben den größten Einfluss auf die Aktivität der Wirtschaft und es gibt eine Reihe an verschiedene Arten von Karawanen.[10]Jeffrey Bard

Mayoral caravans

Mayoral caravans (also referred to as Trade caravans) are launched by Bürgermeister to obtain needed resources from other nodes.[11][12][10]

  • Players can participate in helping to defend the caravan if they wish.[12]
Mayors who need certain resources that either they don't have enough of, or that they're prospectively investing in: they will initiate a mayor request, and any node that sees that request on the mayoral caravan drop-down menu will have an opportunity to attempt to fulfill the trade request. In order to fulfill a trade request, a node must have a certain level of relationship with that requesting node. At a minimum it has to be a trade agreement relationship; and then there's a limited number of those trade relationships that you can have; and that scales up to eventually alliance perspective. And then, once the node requesting mayor accepts a potential fill order, then a system spawned caravan is generated and the transit is completed. Players can participate in helping to defend that or not.[12]Steven Sharif

Quest driven caravans

System driven caravans (also referred to as Quest driven caravans) are system spawned caravans that are used for trade routes between nodes.[12][10][9]

  • These are initiated by players with a diverse choice of routes and launch windows, making them difficult to zerg.[14]
  • Initiating a caravan from one node to another will create a PvP objective that players will need to defend while it moves along its chosen route to the selected destination.[2]
  • Roads will upgrade as nodes advance. Different roads will dictate the speed and type of caravan required (off road vs on road).[15]
The caravan system is designed to be initiated by the player. Which means, information of the caravans launch time and route, should be a closely guarded secret. Routes will also be diverse, and the world is large, so it might behoove you to scout the route ahead before a launch. Fast travel in our game is also limited, which means unless the guild had knowledge of your plans before hand, it is likely that they will be unable to organize and travel to a location. As far as mass guilds securing trade routes, there is always a bigger fish in the pond. Also caravans will have limitations on carrying capacity and launch windows that will segment mulitiple caravans by several minutes, which would space out the caravans, making it difficult to "zerg" a defense.[14]Steven Sharif

Self-directed caravans

Caravan speed is affected by caravan components and the type of roading.[16]

There'll be different variants of each of the components, with the wheels for example, would have variants that will excel perhaps at off-road over on-road and vice versa. So right now we have caravans that are set up more for the on-road portion, but you will travel faster over roads, but that obviously comes with the increased risk of running into other players or monsters that are blocking the road.[16]Chris Justo

Personal caravans of different tiers deployed outside the Winstead node in Alpha-2. 3D models by Hal Anderson.[17]

Personal caravans (also referred to as Self-directed/player-driven caravans) are utilized by players to transport cargo across Verra. These are land-based and water-based (raft caravans) that a single player drives and directs.[18][19][20][21][22][9]

  • Caravan drivers receive a significant defensive buff while they are driving a caravan. This reduces CC effects and increases damage mitigation significantly.[27]
  • The caravan owner is able to grant permissions to allow other players to drive their caravans. If these permissions are not activated by the owner then anyone can drive their caravans. If the caravan driver is killed or otherwise removed from the caravan then any player will be able to drive the caravan for a period of 15 to 20 minutes before the caravan despawns and becomes a wreckage.[27]
    • A caravan will persist in the world for a period of 5 to 10 minutes from the time its owner logs out or is disconnected from the server.[28]
  • Caravans have collision, so other players could jump on the caravan while it is being driven.[27]
    • Players or mounts trying to block caravans will be pushed out of the way.[29][30]

Storage

Lagerpunkte gibt es in Lagerhäusern innerhalb von Nodes und in Truhen die in Grundbesitz und statischen in-node Häusern plaziert werden können.[32][33]

Caravan inventory

Alpha-2 materials inventory user interface.[34]

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[35]Steven Sharif

Inventar capacity has quantity (stacking) limits based on the type of item.[36][37] Rucksäcke offer varying stack sizes and/or spatial inventory shapes that are optimized for carrying different items.[38][39]

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.[43]Steven Sharif
All those materials actually sorted nicely in the appropriate bags based on your stack sizes.[34]Alex Khudoliy
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.[43]Steven Sharif
  • Inventory capacity is subject to quantity rather than weight limits.[36]
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.[36]Steven Sharif
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.[51]Steven Sharif
  • Inventories will be able to be sorted.[35]
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.[42]Steven Sharif

  • Maultiere can carry roughly 10 times more than backpacks. Caravans can carry roughly 10 times more than mules.[52]

Komponenten für Karawanen

Zertifikate, um eine Karawane zu erstellen, werden von bestimmten NPCs innerhalb einer Node, oder an gewissen Sehenswürdigkeiten ausgestellt. Diese Zertifikate enthalten mehrere Komponenten:[55]

Karawanen-Komponenten von Handwerkern haben Stats, die von dem Können des jeweiligen Fachhandwerkers bestimmt werden.[55]

Initiating caravans

Caravan initiation in Ashes of Creation may refer to:

Bürgermeister

Depiction of a mayor.[59]

Mayors have a unique ability to elicit change within the node proper, either through the destruction of certain buildings that have been constructed previously, because there's a limited number of slots that buildings can be constructed within, or the kickoff of additional projects, or the certain types of policies that can be enacted, like... the changing of a tax rate. They all have a unified source of energy requirement and the energy requirement is a mandate.[60]Steven Sharif

Bürgermeister are chosen through different election methods according to the node's type.[61][62]

  • Previous mayors won't have any special system driven bonuses to help them get reelected.[65]
  • Players will be able to view a historical listing of mayors of a node.[67]

Karawanen-PvP

Karawanen erzeugen eine offene PvP-Zone, welche Spieler für den Kampf markiert (lila).[69]

  • Durch eine Benutzeroberfläche können Spieler auswählen, ob sie die Karawane angreifen, verteidigen oder ignorieren möchten.[70][71]
  • Um eine Karawane erfolgreich anzugreifen, wird eine Gruppe benötigt.[4][53]
  • Die Karawane bleibt für einen Zeitraum von 5 bis 10 Minuten in der Welt, sollte sich ihr Besitzer abmelden oder die Verbindung zum Server trennen.[28]

Handwerkliche Lieferkette

AshesOfCreation Screenshot 009.jpg

Artisans within Ashes of Creation must choose a path in their artisan skill tree. This inter-dependency establishes a supply chain from raw materials to finished product.[72][73] Each stage of the chain may require caravans to transport goods from one artisan to another.[74]

  1. Obtaining raw materials:[75]
  2. Refining the raw materials with the Verarbeitung profession.[73]
  3. Handwerkskunst the finished product using its crafting recipe.[73]

As a crafter you're going to want to know where certain recipes can be fulfilled; which nodes have the capability of creating what you've processed material that you've gathered for; and then you're going to want to plan out your route to either transit the goods there or make sure that you're situated in the area so that you can go out collect and build in that area as well. So there's a lot of planning that's going to be necessary.[78]Steven Sharif

Handelsschiffe

Alpha-2 raft caravan in the Riverlands biome.[79]

Caravans are capable of transitioning from land to raft caravans. So if you start out as a land-based Caravan and you move to the coast and you want to move into the water there's gonna be a little transition period there; it's gonna be a little construction site: You're not gonna have to do anything it's just gonna be a timer right so that you can't quickly move between land and water. It's gonna be probably in the matter of a minute to two minutes. There's a little bit of vulnerability in that regard.[22]Steven Sharif

Raft caravans (also referred to as Naval caravans) allow the transportation of cargo over the water.[80][81][23][26]

Entführung von Schiffen

Certain ships can be hijacked, destroyed and looted, but the ships themselves cannot be permanently captured.[84][85]

Caravan skins

Karawanen-Skins ("Verschönere meine Karawane") können durch den Echtgeld-Shop (Kosmetik-Shop) erworben werden.[86]

  • Der Skin verändert das Aussehen eines Reittiers und einer Karawane, die miteinander verbunden sind.[87][88]
  • Die Reittier- und Karawanen-Teile eines Skins können nicht separat voneinander verwendet werden.[87][88]

You'll need your own creature and caravan hooked up to each other, and then the caravan cosmetic skin goes over all of them to make it look like what's pictured. you're not able to split out separately that caravan mount skin, hence why you'd want the separate mount skin if you wanted to ride it independently.[87]Sarah Flanagan

List of caravan skins

Zergs

For every play, there should be a counterplay. We often see Castle Sieges turn into zerg-fests, which really doesn’t capture the epic, back-and-forth battles we wish to see in Ashes of Creation. One of our key pillars is that Choice Matters[89], and that applies to tactics and strategy as well. A well-formulated battle plan should win out over stat sheets and bodies. Zergs will generally be difficult to pull off, and will be eminently counterable through siege weapons, traps, and other battlefield tricks.[90]

Zergs are empowered by fast-travel. Meaningful travel times are intended to prevent zerg play from being so much of an influence.[91]

Encounters are designed to have meaning in terms of how boss skills and abilities relate to group compositions, tactics and strategies. Zerging is not experiencing content.[92] There are different ways to make a fight more difficult for larger sized groups without relying solely on stat buffs or making the boss a "damage sponge".[93]

  • Raid and dungeon bosses have specific mechanics and abilities that players need to learn and react to.[93] Zergs that are not aware of these mechanics or react to them appropriately will be wiped.[92]
  • There may be environmental hazards and AoE effects that cause more damage based on the number of players present.[93]
  • There is a give-and-take for guilds that want to see a larger number of members as opposed to a more focused group that may be a part of an alliance.[94]

We're very cognizant of the fact that we don't want to see zerging be a mechanic that's utilized by guilds to accomplish content or just to steamroll over sieges... There are specific mechanics that we are working on that will be seen through the testing phases that relate to a degree of understanding of certain systems that can't just be overrun with numbers.[94]Steven Sharif

Mechanics that encourage political intrigue will play a role in destabilizing zergs.[95]

The best way that I found in games I played previously to take down a zerg is to cause drama from within... It's that conflict inside of the politicking that happens in that big organization. If we provide opportunities for division to occur then it also provides stability to keep a server healthy away from that zerg mentality also... If we approach the castle siege and we've destroyed the walls and we're in the throne room and we're about to cast on the penultimate thing and I at this time am just so excited from what's happening that I'm like "screw it I'm gonna go for it". It's gonna be mine. I'm gonna take the taxes for the next month. I'm gonna take all the gear from the castle. I'm gonna take everything... We want that political intrigue to be present in the game.[95]Steven Sharif

Objective-based game play helps to balance the zerg mentality.[96]

I always feel that if you balance based on groups that in your balance focus is to incorporate features that play well from a player versus player perspective as well as a player versus environment perspective: Having support classes, having DPS and tanks that can obstruct movement and/or create bottlenecks on the field and stuff like that. I think a well-rounded raid it will perform better against a non well-rounded raid, however then you incorporate the second aspect of numbers; and that's where again mobility, organization, leadership tactics. Having objectives in gameplay that make those important helps to balance the zerg mentality that a lot of guilds can tend to have.[96]Steven Sharif

Instanzierung doesn't play a major role in limiting zergs, due to 80% of content in Ashes of Creation being open-world.[97]

  • There may be instanced locations within castle and node sieges where specific groups can participate in certain objective-based waypoints.[97]

Zerging is always a problem in a lot of these MMORPGs where you really can't control the number of participants in certain open-world systems; and in that sense instancing is a great tool that designers can sometimes use to curate a particular number of participants that you want. But the predominant amount of content within Ashes of Creation, over 80% of which is is open-world content, so instancing is very limited.[97]Steven Sharif
