Version vom 2. August 2019, 04:26 Uhr
Gilden participate in Burgbelagerungen in an effort to capture and occupy one of the five guild castles in Ashes of Creation.[3]
- 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.[7][8][9][10]
- There will be systems that mimic some of the mechanics of sieges, but there won't be practice sieges.[11]
- 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.[12]
- 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.[17] – Steven Sharif
A guild that captures a castle will own that castle for a month before it is sieged again.[18][19]
- 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.[18] – 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.[18][19]
- 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.[18][19]
- Depending on how well the guild defends their castle nodes results in better defenses for the castle.[19][20]
- 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.[21]
- When castles change hands (following a siege), some taxes stay with the castle and some stay with the guild.[22]
- 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.[19] – Steven Sharif
Gildenschlösser
Five guild castles exist in Ashes of Creation.[25][24][3]
- 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.[25][26][27][28]
- 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.[25] – Steven Sharif
- Burgbelagerungen occur in the open world but may become instanced based on testing.[13]
- There is one castle located on an island that is able to be affected by naval combat.[29][30]
- 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.[31][19]
- 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.[24]
Burgen-Nodes
Gildenburgen haben drei benachbarte Knotenpunkte in unmittelbarer Nähe.[3][21]
- Burg-Knotenpunkte existieren außerhalb des Knotenpunkt-Systems. Sie sind unabhängig von allem, was außerhalb passiert; wie z. B. Knotenpunkte, die andere Knotenpunkte am Wachstum hindern.[21]
- Burg-Knotenpunkte haben keine Staatsbürgerschaft, Einflusszonen, Grundbesitze (Freeholds), Knotenpunkt-Regierungen, oder soziale Organisationen.[35]
- Burg-Knotenpunkte können sich nicht über Stufe 3 (Dorf) hinweg entwickeln.[21]
- Burg-Knotenpunkte sind immer Militär-Knotenpunkte.[3]
- Zu Beginn jeder Herrschaftszeit sind die Burg-Knotenpunkte unwirtlich.[19]
- Die Gilde muss die umliegenden Knotenpunkte entwicklen, um die Verteidigung der Burg zu verbessern.[3]
- Für eine einzelne Gilde wird es möglich, aber sehr schwierig sein, die umliegenden Knotenpunkte vollständig zu entwickeln. Sie werden wahrscheinlich Unterstützung von der breiteren Gemeinschaft benötigen.[36]
Burg-Knotenpunkte steigen durch Aufträge auf, die von der besetzenden Gilde oder Allianz durchgeführt werden.[21]
- Verglichen mit regulären Knotenpunkten, ist das Leveln von Burg-Knotenpunkten ein beschleunigter Prozess.[19]
- In den Wochen vor einer Burgbelagerung werden Karawanen verwendet, um Vorräte zu transportieren.[37]
- Das Abschließen dieser Quests entsperrt nützliche Dienstleistungen und Funktionen für die besetzende Gilde und deren Verbündeten, und verstärkt zusätzlich die Verteidigung der Burg.
- Rivalisierende Gilden sollten Nachschubs-Karawanen zerstören, um das Aufsteigen der Burg und den umliegenden Knotenpunkten zu verhindern.
Sollten sie es in den drei vorangegangenen Wochen nicht schaffen, das Level der Burg zu erhöhen oder die Quests abzuschließen, wird die Burg einen Nachteil haben.[21] – Steven Sharif
Als Mitglied der besetzenden Gilde wirst du automatisch zur Garnison der Burg-Knotenpunkten und der Burg selbst.[3]
- Ausschließlich die Mitglieder der besetzenden Gilde sind Bürger dieses Knotenpunktes.[20]
- Diese Staatsbürgerschaft unterscheidet sich von der normalen Knotenpunkt-Staatsbürgerschaft. Burg-Knotenpunkte funktionieren anders als normale Knotenpunkte.
Declaring a castle siege
Gilden are able to sign up to either siege or defend a castle over a week long declaration period.[38][21]
- Once a guild registers for the siege a scroll creation quest is initiated that guild members may participate in, and it becomes possible to lay the declaration scroll down as soon as the quest is completed.[39]
- Multiple guilds may register to attack and the first to complete the scroll and lay down the declaration may begin to have their members register to attack (there will be a cap).[39]
- The siege scroll deployment is a 5 min rooted cast that alerts the region at the cast initiation and names the caster that must be the guild leader.[39][40]
- If the guild leader is killed, the casting is interrupted.[41] The scroll will remain until it is recast. It will disappear if it is not cast within the declaration period.[42]
- The scroll may only be placed in a ring around the castle.[43] The quality of the scroll determines the proximity to the castle.[44]
- Players don't need to be in the guild that owns a castle in order to sign up for the defense of the castle.[21]
- The guild leader that owns the castle is able to approve guilds that have applied to defend at the castle.[21]
- Following declaration, the defender has a week grace period to approve defenders, hire mercenary NPCs and set up defensible positions.[38][21]
Ankündigungen/Benachrichtigungen
There will be local, regional, or global (server-wide) announcements/notifications of important events.[47][48]
- Burgbelagerungen.[48]
- Node-Belagerungen.[48]
- Legendary world boss spawns.[48]
- Mob attacks and Monster coin events.[49][50][51]
- Dungeon opportunities.[51]
Event notifications will utilize different methods depending on the stage (scope and level) of the event.[47]
- Local events
- Local events (such as caravan PvP)[52][53][54] may prompt players via the UI asking if they wish to participate or not.[47]
- Other local events may offer audible or visual cues without any UI notifications.[47]
- Local events that have not been addressed may start to expand regionally or even globally.[47]
- One important thing to note about events in general is notifications are sent to the players. Players can opt into these events in a similar way that you would into a quest. You're going to be presented with a 'would you like to participate' but they might not always be that way. You might hear trees falling in the forest and that may be an audio cue to tell you something's happening over there. It's out of the ordinary. This is not normally an audio cue that I hear in this area and i'm gonna go investigate that thing. So it might not just be always that UI window represented with a 'participate or not' but I'm going to go investigate and in that sense it could be stage driven. So you might have the more local stage where it is just the visual or audio cues and you get to go participate in that stage; and then when it advances, or if you don't answer the problem in time, then it starts to expand regionally and then it might send out particular notifications to either citizens of the node from which it falls under its purview or even broader than that. It could be global driven events and then it could have things that are are visual cues that are really big like a giant blizzard that's affecting the zone, because the event hasn't been addressed; and that can affect the crop rotations or it can affect passages and roads and how caravans move. There's a lot that the predicate system informs to the event system and then the event system reacts to those types of predicates.[47] – Steven Sharif
- Node-based events
- Certain node-based events will be broadcast to node citizens,[47][51] others, such as caravans, will not be announced and will instead rely on player word-of-mouth.[48]
- Entwicklung der Node notifications will be broadcast depending on the node's stage.[55]
- New citizens of a node may be announced in a dedicated node citizen chat channel.[56]
- Election notices will be mailed to the accounts of citizens.[56]
- Whether it be like a siege or a triggered event against a city or like a unique dungeon opportunity... those types of things are going to involve notifications. Especially to the citizens of the city; where you'll be informed of an impending event. Basically it will give you time.[51] – Steven Sharif
Castle siege objectives
- Burgen will initially be occupied by an NPC adversary. Gilden have a period of time to level up in order to siege these castles.[31][19]
- The key to not making it a "zerg fest" is by emphasizing the the strategic relevance of those objectives and then catering objectives to group play versus raid play. So you have a spreading of different types of objectives where only a group can compete for it, versus a raid at the choke point. Having that distribution, it makes it so that smaller guilds have a vital role to play and can perform in environments where numbers are not always the deciding factor.[17] – Steven Sharif
- Castles that are occupied by guilds have the following objectives.[17]
- Attackers capture waypoints/control points in the castle's architecture to diminish their respawn timer and increase the respawn timer of the defenders.[21]
- Defenders can counter-play by attacking the siege headquarters of the attackers to diminish their declaration flags and increase their respawn timers.[21]
- Legendary NPCs will be present as commanders that act like mini raid bosses within the defending and attacking armies. Killing these provides added benefits, such as certain types of drops that grant battlefield benefits to either side.[21]
- The ultimate objective for the defenders is to survive during the timed period of the siege, which is approximately 90 minutes in its first iteration.[21]
- If the attackers reach the inner keep of the castle, a guild leader (or one other delegated officer) must cast a 3 to 5 minute cast at a specific channel point in order to seal ownership of the castle.[17][21] It may be possible for defenders to decide on the location where the channel point is located.[17]
- There's an opportunity there for perhaps backstabbing in the throne room where one guild is like yeah we agreed to get to this area but we had a change of heart in the middle of the battle.[57] – Steven Sharif
Siege alliances
When a siege begins, temporary alliances are formed among attackers and defenders.[58]
- For node sieges, citizens of the node or provincial nodes being attacked are automatically registered as defenders.[59]
- There are many reasons to participate as an ally in the attack or defence of other nodes.[60]
- Titles.
- Items.
- Materials.
- Money.
- Social bonds.
Many incentives exist that can benefit your node and yourself personally by participating in the attack or defense of cities. These range from titles, to items, to materials, to money. Additionally, aiding others may help you strengthen bonds when your assets are threatened.[60] – Steven Sharif
Siege mechanics
A siege occurs over several phases.[61]
- Certain siege mechanics may be gated for specific size groups during sieges.[62]
- There will not be a deserter debuff for leaving a siege before it is complete.[63]
- More will be revealed in an upcoming blog entry.[61]
Siege weapons
Siege weapons and siege vehicles are able to be utilized during sieges.[25]
- Siege equipment is able to be crafted or purchased from NPCs. Crafting will require materials, recipes and craftsmanship.[66][32]
- Part of this endeavor of sieging a player-held location (or non-player-held location) is time to prepare; and that includes gathering and crafting these mega weapons or collecting the resources: Whether it be gold or specific quest items to purchase from NPCs.[32] – Steven Sharif
- There will be ways to repair destructible structures (such as walls and gates) and also repair (or re-craft) siege weapons that were damaged during sieges.[67]
- Anything that you want to bring into existence in the world is going to be built by players: Whether that is Schiffe, Siege engines, Waffen, Rüstung, etc.[68] – Jeffrey Bard
Siege PvP
Sieges don't use the PvP flagging system.[69]
Bestrafungen für den Tod do not apply to objective-based events (such as caravans, guild wars, and node sieges).[70]
Siege NPCs
Siege NPCs, NPC-Wachen, and mercenary NPCs serve as defense points during sieges and other events.[71][72]
- Only combat NPCs are killable during a siege. Non-combat NPCs, such as merchants, will despawn and will respawn if the siege is unsuccessful.[71][73]
- Upgrades to the node's Kasernen may allow a garrison of siege NPCs to be spawned in the event of an attack.[71]
- Mercenary NPCs can be hired in advance.[71] They are intended to be a significant presence but not the main line of defense in a siege.[74]
Drachen
Drachen sind epische fliegende Reittiere mit starken Kampffähigkeiten wie AoE-Atemangriffen, vorbeifliegenden Sturzflugangriffen und anderen Attacken.[75][76]
- Drachen haben PvP -Fähigkeiten in Bezug auf Burgbelagerungen und Node-Belagerungen.[76]
Der Drache wird im PvP eine Menge Fähigkeiten haben. Dies ist in erster Linie sein Zweck, denn er bezieht sich auf Castle und Node Belagerungen, in denen sich die Spieler befinden. Wir möchten, dass Drachen weitreichende Auswirkungen auf Spielerraids haben.[76] – Steven Sharif
Undermounts
DerGildenleiter einer Burg kann Gildenoffizieren wärend einer Burgbelagerung den Einsatz fliegender undermounts (z.B wyrmlings) gewähren.[78][79][80][81]
- Diese können nur gewährt werden, wenn die Burg Node vor der Belagerung erreicht wurde.[81]
- Node A gewährt 1 Undermount, Node B gewährt 2 Undermounts und Node C gewährt 2 Undermounts.[82]
- Dieses System kann während der Tests geändert werden.[82]
Wenn man Burgbesitzer ist, kann mein seinen Offizieren Kleine Wyrmlinge schenken, diese können auch herumfliegen.[79] – Steven Sharif
Zergs
Zergs are empowered by fast-travel. Meaningful travel times are intended to prevent zerg play from being so much of an influence.[84]
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.[85] 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".[86]
- Raid and dungeon bosses have specific mechanics and abilities that players need to learn and react to.[86] Zergs that are not aware of these mechanics or react to them appropriately will be wiped.[85]
- There may be environmental hazards and AoE effects that cause more damage based on the number of players present.[86]
- 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.[87]
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.[87] – Steven Sharif
Mechanics that encourage political intrigue will play a role in destabilizing zergs.[88]
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.[88] – Steven Sharif
Objective-based game play helps to balance the zerg mentality.[89]
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.[89] – Steven Sharif
Instanzierung doesn't play a major role in limiting zergs, due to 80% of content in Ashes of Creation being open-world.[12]
- There may be instanced locations within castle and node sieges where specific groups can participate in certain objective-based waypoints.[12]
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.[12] – Steven Sharif
Belagerungsfähigkeiten
Acht Spieler desselben primären Archetyps können sich zusammenschließen, um während einer Belagerung monumentale Effekte zu erzielen.[90]
- Die Klassen müssen sich in der gleichen Gruppe oder Schlachtzug befinden.[90]
These are the types of systems that we want to put in place where groups of a single primary archetype can come together to summon these types of effects that play off of what the identity of that archetype is.[90] – Steven Sharif
Beschwörer
Summoners can collaborate together during sieges to summon larger creatures, such as Golems.[91][92][93]
- We do have the concept of siege summons being a thing with multiple summoners being required in order to create that siege summon. In those situations your character becomes the summon. So you don't have an AI that takes over your previous character but instead the recipient of those additional spell effects becomes the actual summon itself.[91] – Steven Sharif
- The target of the group summon becomes the summon itself.[91][93]
- Previously it was stated that the party-leader becomes the summon.[92]
- A siege summon will have an incremental size based on the number of summoners participating in that summon activity, with a maximum of eight.[94]
- The number of summoners participating in the summon will determine its overall size.[94]
- All summoners must be in the same party and the party leader must be a summoner.[92]
Tank
- If eight Tank archetypes each use one of their summon wall abilities it might construct a larger wall that can divide two raids in a moment; and would require damage and block skills and abilities for a momentary lapse of battle between those two raids.[96] – Steven Sharif
Siege aftermath
Rubble will be visible for a period of time following a successful castle siege. This will likely persist until the incumbent guild develops the first defensive node.[97]
Zerstörbare Umgebung
Zerstörbare Umgebung wird ein Kernelement dessen sein, wie Spieler mit der Welt interagieren werden. Sowohl in Ashes of Creation Apocalypse als auch in dem Ashes of Creation MMORPG.[101]
We want destruction to be a very core element of how players make their way through the world.[101] – Steven Sharif
- Möglicherweise schaffen es Angreifer nicht eine Node während ihrer Belagerung zu zerstören. Stattdessen führen sie vielleicht gezielte Angriffe durch, um spezielle Service-Gebäude in der Node außer Betrieb zu setzen. Diese Gebäude können mit Belagerungswaffen und Bomben angegriffen werden.[102]
- Node-Gebäude (inklusive Player Housing) haben Lebenspunkte und können während Belagerungen beschädigt werden. Wenn Gebäude mehr als ungefähr 25% Schaden nehmen, sind jegliche NPCs oder Services von diesem Gebäude nicht verfügbar, bis dieser Schaden repariert wurde.[103]
- Wenn die Node eine Belagerung überstehen sollte, müssen die Einwohner die nötigen Ressourcen beschaffen um beschädigte Infrastruktur wieder aufzubauen und zu reparieren.[103][104]
- Große und weiter fortgeschrittene Gebäufe benätigen mehr Ressourcen um diese zu reparieren. In-Node Housing wird vermutlich die geringste Menge an Ressourcen für die Reparatur benötigen.[105]
- Spielerbehausungen, die während einer Belagerung zerstört wurden, können nicht mehr verkauft werden.[106]
- Einrichtung und Dekorationen werden erhalten und können später wieder platziert werden.[106][107][108]
You could be more precision oriented in the decision to attack a city. Let's say it's a rival node that's trying to reach a node stage five or something and you want to disable their ability for the religious system to progress so you target the temple during the attack, or you want to disable their scholars academy from reaching a higher level so that your nodes can; or you want to disable multiple buildings that allow for experience and quests to be undertaken by its citizenship, which prevents them from keeping up in pace of experience gained with your node. These can be more precision oriented and don't have to effectualize an actual takeover of the node.[102] – Steven Sharif
Ashes of Creation Apocalypse castle sieges
Ashes of Creation Apocalypse castle sieges are a planned Ashes of Creation Apocalypse testing mode that aims to test castle siege mechanics.[112]
- Takes place in and around large destructible castles.[113]
- Matches are expected to last thirty to thirty-five minutes. This duration can be modified by control points captured during the match.[114]
- There will be 200 players in a match (100 v 100).[115][112]
- Invite up to 20 guildmates to a match.[113]
- Klassen-Kits come into play during the testing of Ashes of Creation Apocalypse castle sieges.[116]
- The ability to host a session and challenge an opponent or guild may be present post-launch of castle siege mode.[117]
The Castle Siege mode is another example of a playable slice of the MMORPG that Apocalypse is providing early testing for. While it’s a somewhat smaller scale experience than the one you’ll have in the MMO, the overall flow of taking and defending a castle will remain similar. There’s some additional systems you’ll see in the final product, like the influence of Nodes over the available defensive emplacements, the crafting and deploying of custom siege weapons, and the summoning of siege monsters. These are all things that we’ll be adding on top of this mode upon our release of Ashes of Creation.[114] – Margaret Krohn
A potential Alpha-1 implementation of Burgbelagerungen in the MMORPG is based on Ashes of Creation Apocalypse castle sieges.[16]
Ashes of Creation Apocalypse castle siege maps
Ashes of Creation Apocalypse castle sieges take place on a 1km2 (one square kilometer) map.[114]
Five castles are intended for the Ashes of Creation MMORPG. It's likely that eventually there will also be five castle maps on Ashes of Creation Apocalypse castle sieges.[119]
- Initially two castle maps are planned for Ashes of Creation Apocalypse castle sieges.[120][114]
On January 11, 2019, we showcased our sneak peek of two siege map designs coming to Ashes of Creation Apocalypse soon - Castle Korgan previously owned by the Aelan humans and Castle Milnar constructed by the great Dünzenkell dwarves. These great castles of Verra were the cornerstone of defense for the Empires that owned them. Once home to legendary battles that turned the tides of power and influence on Verra. Now abandoned by the great powers that have fled Verra through the Divine Gateways, these great pillars of civilization are battlefields in the Apocalypse.[114] – Margaret Krohn
Ashes of Creation Apocalypse castle siege mechanics
Ashes of Creation Apocalypse castle sieges will be objective-based.[112]
A player elects to be either an attacker or defender.[119][114]
- The matchmaker will attempt to assign a player their selected side (referred to as role in the article) but it may allocate another side so as to shorten queue times.[114]
- Once in the match, a player's side will not change.[114]
Players select one of the six classes prior to battle.[119]
- Players can see the numbers of players in their raid who have selected each class.[123]
- Players will have a limited amount of time to lock in their class choice. If they miss the window, the least selected class choice will be automatically chosen for them.[114]
- There is no limit to the number of a specific class that may be on a team, however the developers note that composition will be important from a strategic perspective.[114]
- Classes cannot be swapped during a match, but this may change based on testing.[114]
There will be a timeframe for preparation where attackers and defenders take positions and prepare weaponry.[119]
- Siege weaponry will include ballistas, trebuchets, battering rams and potentially traps and "powder keg" type weapons.[119]
When you join into the castle siege in Apocalypse you're going to be able to select one of six classes. Right and upon selecting those classes then you're going to be placed on your starting side, whether it be the attacker or defenders; and then you're going to be able to start preparations. It's gonna be a little bit of a loading time where you have selected those classes. You're going to take positions perhaps and whatnot; and there are siege weaponry that's going to be present there as you see here some ballistas, some trebuchets, a battering ram and maybe some traps and some powder keg stuff available to destroy some things.[119] – Steven Sharif
Attacking team
In the first phase of battle the attackers attempt to penetrate the walls and gates to gain access to the inside of the castle.[119][124]
- Siege weapons available to the attacking side include Trebuchets and Battering Rams.[114]
There will be a variety of siege weapons available to the Attacking side including Trebuchets and Battering Rams. Trebuchets’ range will be long enough to reach the enemy ballistas from their initial placement points. These placement points will be out of player character’s weapon range from the castle walls, but within ballista range, and scattered on the battlefield.[114] – Margaret Krohn
Once inside the castle, the attackers need to hold objectives.[119]
- There are objectives within the castle, such as killing guard captains.[112]
- Attackers must destroy key strategic objectives to swing the battle in their favor.[113]
- Defenders must protect key strategic objectives to maintain advantage.[113]
- Holding capture points increase or decrease the duration of the map, change the opposing side's respawn times and give buffs to the side that holds them.[119][112]
- Players can also respawn on capture points that they hold.[119]
The ultimate objective of the attackers is to reach the center keep of the castle to channel on the final relic that's present in order to achieve victory.[124]
Defending team
The defenders are attempting to hold out as long as possible, but they can also rush the field to the enemy encampment or headquarters to attempt to damage their ability to siege.[124]
- Attempt to take out attacker's siege weapons.[124]
- Attempt to capture attacker's control points to increase their spawn time and decrease the total match time.[124]
If a Defender captures an Attacker’s Control Point, the total match time decreases, the Attacker Teams’ respawn time increases, and it also provides a temporary morale buff to the entire Defender’s side. Defenders will also be able to teleport to any Control Points that have been taken.[114] – Margaret Krohn
Siege weapons available to the defending side include Ballistas and Traps.[114]
Ballistas will have fixed positions on castle towers. Traps will be placeable items that the Defending Team can use to damage and crowd control their enemies. Note that these items are destructible by the Attacking Team.[114] – Margaret Krohn
Respawning
Players have infinite lives in castle siege mode.[114]
- Upon death, players join a respawn queue shared with their teammates.[114]
Ashes of Creation Apocalypse siege equipment
Ashes of Creation Apocalypse siege equipment includes ballistas, trebuchets, battering rams and potentially traps and "powder keg" type weapons.[119]
- Siege weapons available to the attacking side include Trebuchets and Battering Rams.[114]
- Siege weapons available to the defending side include Ballistas and Traps.[114]
- Siege weapons are deployable and piloted by players.[113]
With regards to alpha one phase one however in the castle siege system... what will happen is static siege equipment that's placed in the map for the attackers to utilize that will present at focal points of PvP in the match where defenders will know where to target a specific area on the field in order to attack. [66] – Steven Sharif
