Grundbesitz
Grundbesitz are sizable player housing plots that can be situated in baronies within the Einflussbereich (ZOI) of a Dorf (Stufe 3) or higher node, including the ZOI of any of its vassal nodes.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]
- Freehold estates may be purchased from other players,[12] or can be obtained via deeds from completing a quest and winning an auction.[4][5][6][13][7][8][14][10]
- Freehold ownership, whether purchased from players or via a freehold auction, requires the purchaser to have completed a freehold quest, which has a level requirement of 50.[15][16][4][17]
- The seller decides if their freehold should be auctioned or sold directly to other players.[18]
- Some freehold auctions will require node-type-specific bound currencies, others will auction for gold.[19][20][21] This is intended to cater to players with different playstyles, who are progressing through alternate systems.[19][21]
- The idea is that we're not reserving freeholds for the top 10 percent of levelers, we're reserving freeholds for the top 10 percent across the multiple different play paths that exist within the game; and this spreads out that ownership across different playstyles.[19] – Steven Sharif
- Housing takes several forms in the world of Verra. However, Freeholds are the highest tier of player housing available. Acquiring a Freehold is a major accomplishment, and it will take a large amount of effort and strategy to get a Freehold of your own. Since there is a limited amount of space available to place Freeholds in each node’s region, these are symbols of prestige for those who are able to acquire and maintain their Freeholds.[4]
- Freeholds are approximately 1.5 acres in size, or roughly 100m x 60m.[5]
- The footprint of a freehold does not change with node progression.[23]
- Previously it was stated that freeholds were half an acre in size.[24]
- The developers are expecting the number of freehold plots on each server to be in "the low thousands" depending on world state.[4][25][26][27]
- The number of Freeholds on a server will vary on a number of factors, such as how player actions advance nodes. At the moment we are targeting the low thousands for Freeholds on a server, but as we continue to test these systems during Alpha Two, we anticipate making adjustments.[4]
- Freeholds are subject to node taxes.[28]
- Freehold tax is calculated based on the number of permits issued for buildings on a freehold.[28]
- Freehold buildings that require permits will have additional upkeep costs.[4]
- Blueprints are required for the construction of the freehold buildings that are used to process resources into crafting materials.[29][30][31][32][33]
- The best processing can only be carried out on freeholds, so obtaining a freehold will require a large amount of effort.[34]
- If a player wants to achieve a freehold they can achieve the freehold, however the amount of effort resources and time that's required in order to achieve that freehold is a large amount. It is something that is a monumental achievement for you to to get that freehold; and the reason why is because freeholds tie in very heavily to the processing artisanship aspect. Some processing can be done in nodes, but the best processing is done on freeholds; and we want to make sure that there's a little bit of a throttle or gate on the amount of effort that's necessary to achieve that influence over the processing market.[34] – Steven Sharif
- Inns and other player housing options are available that are easier to obtain for players who do not need the benefits of a freehold.[29]
- Just because the freehold is very difficult to attain doesn't mean that you don't have a space for housing and furniture that you can achieve through our apartment system or an inn or the static in-node housing. Those are alternate methods as well but they do not have that aspect of the best processing is done on the freehold.[29] – Steven Sharif
- Freeholds are intended to work with the family system.[35]
- The spread of corruption in the world does not impact the freehold system.[37]
- Players are not able to adjust the terrain of their freeholds. Sloped terrain will result in stilts beneath placeable structures (to keep them level).[38]
- Expansions and upgrades become available as node progression allows.[24]
Freehold placement
Freehold plots require a bound deed (permit/certificate) from the parent Dorf (Stufe 3) or higher node in order to place the plot.[4][13][7][8][14][10]
- Freehold deeds are obtained through completion of a Lord's quest to ascertain worthiness for lordship over an estate.[39][6][13][7][8][14][10]
- That was for a time a lively debate on our design team about whether or not there should be a level gate essentially from even preventing the potential for ownership. The reason why I chose to keep it at level 50 for now is because there are alternate systems that provide access at lower levels through permission setting. So it's one thing to own the home, it's is another thing to access the contents and to continue progression. Let's say, in the processing profession, you might want to gain mastery in: that mastery process leaves the nodes at around level 30 in the leveling experience for a processing profession; and so one of the debates on the design team was whether or not we should reduce the level requirement down to level 30 so that there's a seamless transition from node-based processing progression and the Freehold capability of progression.[15] – Steven Sharif
- Deeds may only be used to place a freehold if the deed holder successfully wins a freehold auction for an estate.[4][41]
- You're going to see a little bit of change and this is one of the first ones: that these are predetermined locations that exist around the node or under its vassal structure that you will have the ability to bid on; and to give you a sense there, this allows us to customize a bit of those predetermined parcels, like a Sherwood Forest type of example.[6] – Steven Sharif
- A deed holder who has won an estate auction may then claim the estate from within a barony in that node's ZOI, including the ZOI of any of its vassal nodes. Placement of the plot is enabled by using the deed item in a player's inventory to get a top-down view of the estate, then selecting the desired location for the plot.[4][41]
- It'll basically be an item in your bag; and once you get to your parcel, you claim that piece of land and then once it's claimed you'll be able to use the item to go into top-down view and layout actually exactly where your freehold will go on that parcel of land. You'll have a lot of freedom, so a lot that will be going through looking at your whole area of land you now own claim to and then deciding where the best spot to put your freehold in there would be.[41] – Kory Rice
- Freehold plots must not be placed in close proximity to any of the following:[4][45][5][41][6][7][8][9][10]
- Collections of freeholds placed in close proximity are still considered part of their parent node and do not become a separate node, other than via roleplay.[53]
- Adjacent freeholds do not share any bonuses with their neighbors, but guild halls owned by partron guilds may confer benefits to surrounding freeholds.[54][49]
Baronies
Baronies are large designated swaths of land in the ZOI of a Dorf (Stufe 3) or above node, including the ZOI of any of its vassal nodes.[4][45][5][6][7][8]
- Baronies contain parcels of land, called estates, that are reserved specifically for the freehold and guild hall systems.[4]
- A barony can only have a single guild hall.[4] The number of baronies that can have an active guild hall is determined by the node's stage.[55][56]
- Guild halls are not able to impose any taxes on freeholds within a barony.[57]
- Guild halls owned by partron guilds may have the ability to confer benefits to surrounding estates by speccing into passives in their guild skill tree and carrying out a lengthy quest line.[54]
- Each zone of influence in the world has designated large swaths of land that act as these parcels that can be catered to specific points of interest or thematically relevant; and you might want to bid on that almost county-sized area, where you then get to place your freehold. And once you have bid on that area at the node, then you can acquire the freehold plot and you go out into that zone- that section that you have bid on and acquired, and you place your freehold footprint, which previously we had set the freehold size to about a half an acre; however recently that's changed, well not recently a while ago that changed, to be one and a half acres or roughly 100 by 60.[5] – Steven Sharif
- Players obtain freehold deeds by completing a quest then winning a freehold auction at the parent node. These deeds enable the player to claim a freehold plot in a specific estate.[4][5][6][13][7][8][14][10]
- Imagine the parcel as more like a county that exists around the node; and so if you have a node in the center and you have its zone of influence around it, that's a mass group of land. And then, if you were to take a county line marker and create counties around essentially the node, that is what you would be bidding on. And then once you've achieved the parcel's certificate for that county, then you go out with your... footprint of your freehold, and you get to place the freehold within that county wherever you want- that's not obstructed by some other, road, or POI, or very large feature terrain.[45] – Steven Sharif
- Placement of the freehold plot is enabled by using an unplaced freehold deed item from the player's inventory to get a top-down view of the estate, then selecting the desired location for the plot.[4][41]
- There is a minimum distance between Baronies in addition to the minimum distance between freehold plots.[49]
- Baronies don't impose any appearance restrictions on freehold buildings.[58]
Freehold auctions
A node's freehold estates (parcels of land) become available to be bid for at auction on a regular cadence.[4][59]
- Bidding on an Estate is done through an auction system. Nodes have a limited number of Freehold Deeds available based on that node’s level. A player may only bid on an Estate if they own an unplaced Freehold Deed. Once you have successfully acquired your Estate, the next step is choosing a location within that Estate to lay down your Freehold Deed’s footprint.[4]
- Some estates will require node-type-specific bound currencies, others will auction for gold.[19][20][21]
- This is intended to cater to players with different playstyles, who are progressing through alternate systems.[19][21]
- Node-type-specific currencies will be tested during Alpha-2.[21]
- The most common denominator of availability for freeholds through the auction is going to be through gold. However, there will be a sub select of freehold options that are available in each node, based on the node type, that will correspond to one of those bound currencies in addition to gold. So what we do there is we spread out the availability of freeholds to different playstyles and different focuses so the player that might rush to level 50- they might have an advantage when bidding on gold-based freeholds, but they may not have the advantage of the Favor player or the Honor player, who is going to be progressing within those playstyles.[19] – Steven Sharif
- The cadence of freehold auctions is system-driven and can't be affected by mayors or other players.[60]
- Estates will also be recycled as a result of node sieges and atrophy.[59]
- The intent of the auction system is to provide players a non-land rush type system. Auctions will be held for each parcel that allows families to pool together their resources to acquire a deed, and gives some prep time to individuals to prepare their resources to bid as well.[61] – Steven Sharif
Freehold benefits
Grundbesitz offer the following benefits in addition to other player housing benefits.[7]
- The larger the homestead, the more floors it will have and the more furniture can be placed on the freehold.[4][7]
- Certain furniture may only be able to be placed outside.[7]
- Freehold businesses allow the freehold owner (and authorized individuals) to sell items, consumables and services to players.[62][7][63]
- Freeholds are the only place that master and grandmaster processing is available.[64][7]
- Players can craft up to journeyman level on freeholds.[64][7]
- Lower tier gathering can be done on freehold plots.[65]
Gebäude auf dem Grundbesitz
Gebäude auf dem Grundbesitz that can be placed on a freehold plot serve three main purposes.[4][7][67][11][68]
Freehold buildings require blueprints and materials to construct.[4][14]
- Sheds are present on empty freehold plots to provide storage for materials needed to construct freehold buildings.[44]
- Some freehold buildings have multiple tiers, with different footprint sizes.[7][23]
- Upgrading a tier will not change the size of the building in terms of footprint, but may increase in height.[23]
- Basements in freehold buildings are to be decided.[70]
Freehold taxes are calculated based on the number of permits issued for buildings on a freehold.[4][71][72][28][73]
- Buildings that require permits will have additional upkeep costs.[4]
Freehold building architecture is based on the blueprint for the building.[7][74]
- Freehold skins are applied to blueprints matching the type of building: housing, artisanship, and business.[4][7][75][76][74][77]
- The freehold building blueprints must be obtained in-game first before the cosmetic can be applied.[74][77][76]
- Players are not locked to the racial appearance of a freehold building blueprint.[78]
- The way we look at it is the freehold is your space so we want you to be able to make it look the way you want it to.[74] – Jeffrey Bard
Freehold building placement
Gebäude auf dem Grundbesitz and other items/props can be placed on freehold plots (by the land owner).[67][80][24][11][68]
- Freehold building permits to allow for a specific number and type of buildings to be placed on the freehold plot must be acquired from the node where the freehold deed was obtained.[4][71][72][28][81][73]
- Freehold taxes are calculated based on the number of permits issued for buildings on a freehold.[4][72][28][73]
- Currently freeholds have a combined maximum total of six artisan and business buildings that can be placed in addition to a homestead.[4][82]
- On a Freehold you can have your house, and up to six additional buildings. The additional buildings can be artisan and/or business buildings. Larger buildings may take up more room, reducing the total number of buildings that can be built on a single Freehold.[4]
- Space that is not used for freehold buildings can be utilized for other purposes, such as livestock and crop placements.[81]
- Players can manipulate the orientation of freehold buildings and items being placed on their freehold plot.[43]
- There may be a grid-based system that freehold owners can use to place items/props and buildings on their freehold plot.[80]
- Targeting dummies are planned as placeable props with functional mechanics.[83]
- Players are not able to adjust the terrain of their freeholds. Sloped terrain will result in stilts beneath placeable structures (to keep them level).[38]
Naming buildings
Gebäude will be able to be named. The custom name will appear as floating text when it is targeted.[84]
Freehold building skins
Themenbezogene Freehold-Skins wurden als Kickstarter und Sommer-Crowdfunding Belohnungen angeboten und werden über den Kosmetikladen verkauft. [.[85][86]
- Gebäude, Schiffs, Karawanen und Reittier Kosmetik erfordern zuerst einen Gegenstand im Spiel, um die Kosmetik aufzutragen. [77][76]
Ich hatte neulich ein Treffen mit dem Designteam (da sie an weiteren Details für das Freehold-System arbeiten), um bei der Klärung einiger Antworten auf die Fragen zu helfen, die ihr alle gestellt habt, und sie werden mir Informationen schicken. Sobald ich diese erhalten habe, werde ich an einem Inhaltsupdate arbeiten, um diese Informationen widerzuspiegeln, und in Zukunft werden wir diese Details zu jedem einzelnen kosmetischen Gegenstand bereitstellen. Die Aktualisierung aller früheren Gegenstände, um mehr Klarheit darüber zu schaffen, auf welchen Arten von Gegenständen im Spiel Sie die Kosmetika platzieren können, wird einige Zeit in Anspruch nehmen, sobald dieser Prozess beginnt. Bitte lassen Sie uns also wissen, wie wir von gegenwärtigen zu früheren Gegenständen beginnen und deren Informationen aktualisieren.[87] – Margaret Krohn
List of freehold building skins
Berufe auf dem Grundbesitz
- Artisan buildings on freeholds enable placement of processing and crafting stations.[67][34]
- Business buildings on freeholds allow freehold owners to provide services to other players.[7]
Processing stations
Processing stations are workstations that are used to process raw materials into processed goods (crafting materials) at nodes or on freeholds.[4][90][67][34][31]
- Artisan buildings are required to be placed on freehold (and node) plots to unlock placement of processing stations.[4][7][69]
- Each processing profession has four processing stations that unlock as players progress through their artisan building tech trees.[82][64][7]
- Each processing profession will have four stations; and the stations will come online as you progress through the profession. Each one of those stations will make goods that are immediately useful to the economy, to crafters, to other processors; and each processing station will build on itself and into the other stations.[91] – Kory Rice
- Master and grandmaster processing can only take place on freeholds.[7][92]
- Processing as it stands for Alpha-2's implementation is that there is a certain amount of prep work that's required first for the industry-specific component, which is the building. That prep work might be finding a certain amount of lumber to light the fire in kiln or whatever, to a certain temperature in order for you to process a certain grade of ore; and that grade of ore being malleable then into an ingot; and that produces that ingot so-to-speak. Now, in that process there's a gathering component, there's a preparatory phase, there is a time-related component.[30] – Steven Sharif
- Processing stations have queue slots that allow jobs to be queued at that station.[94] Processing jobs are processed sequentially for all players in freeholds. Processing jobs in nodes are processed sequentially per player, but concurrently with other player's jobs.[95]
- Q: Can you provide more details in regards to the design philosophy behind why it's a queue system for freeholds but not for nodes?
- A: On the freehold, processing can achieve the highest levels of processing. That's where the highest levels of processing occur. Nodes can only go up to a certain level of processing. Now we want to be able to throttle the amount of resources that can be processed at any given time in response to the fluctuation and flows of the economy. So, we want to make sure that the economy is a bigger ship when turning than being able to immediately start processing everything at once and get new resources out as the flow of supply and demand changes within the world. And because- again that's at the highest levels of processing; and you're sharing the available queues that exist at those stations. It's going to take time and it's going to take a long time for the higher level materials.[96] – Steven Sharif
- There will also be time-related and gameplay elements that require the player to interact with processing stations.[94] These elements act to throttle the introduction of processed materials from raw gatherables into the economy.[30]
- There's also possibilities that the machine you're using itself has some type of gameplay layer- should the kiln get overheated, and you have to throw some water on it or something. There are elements there in that process that we want to mimic this gameplay opportunity for players to interact; and not just be a time-sink. But time-sink is also a component of it as well, because that's the throttle for the introduction of processed materials from raw gatherables into the economy.[30] – Steven Sharif
- Processing times, yields, queue times, and job sizes can increase based on node progression, service building upgrades, node policies, and relics.[97][94][31]
- That's going to be very important as you get to very late game processed materials that are required. Because some of these things might have days to process within a station, but if you have spent the time and done the work to advance that processing station you could cut that down considerably, perhaps even greater than 50 percent; and that's going to have a significant impact on your ability to either control markets or to create goods.[31] – Steven Sharif
- Processing stations are distinct from crafting workstations that are used to craft finished goods.[92][90]
- The developers are considering a decay system for processing stations similar to item decay for gear.[72]
- Q: Do processing stations wear out over time? Do they have to be repaired?
- A: That's something that we're still discussing internally. It is coded in such a way where it's an easy variable for us to change that. There are material components that are necessary to feed the machines to keep them up and running, or it could be based on how you interact with the fuel components. If you overheat- overcharge with fuel, that can create like a system degrade similar to your armor decay, which then you have to feed materials in order to rebuild maintenance-wise. Right now it is not implemented. With that in mind, the only maintenance required is going to be through taxation. And depending on the number of permits that you have placed on the freehold will increase the amount of taxes that are necessary to be paid for the freehold.[72] – Steven Sharif
Entwicklung des Grundbesitzes
Durch denEntwicklung des Grundbesitzes werden neue Boni, Fähigkeiten und Möglichkeiten für freeholds freigeschaltet.[98]
- Gebäude auf dem Grundbesitz können je nach Nutzungsdauer und Produktivität des Eigentums aufgewertet werden. [98]
- Wir möchten, dass es in vielen Systemen einen Fortschritt gibt, und ein Teil des Freehold-Fortschritts besteht darin, dass, wenn ihr diese Basisgebäude errichtet, je länger und produktiver ihr mit diesem Freehold seid und mit diesem Freehold existiert, desto mehr Möglichkeiten haben, diese Gebäude aufzusteigen und Neues anzubieten Boni, neue Fähigkeiten, neue Fähigkeiten; Und schon allein das Überleben in dieser Welt ist eine Leistung für sich, daher wird sie dadurch belohnt, dass man Fortschritte in diesen Dingen ermöglicht.[98] – Steven Sharif
Unternehmensketten
Ich sehe keinen Grund, weshalb du deinen Namen nicht an jemanden lizenzieren könntest, der ebenfalls einen Freehold und ein Gasthaus hat, um mit ihm dann zusammenzuarbeiten.[99] – Jeffrey Bard
Tavernen
Je länger eine Taverne in Betrieb ist und je mehr Gäste bedient werden, desto schneller steigt eine Taverne auf.[100][101]
- Q: Welche Vorteile erhalten Spieler, wenn sie die Rolle eines Tavernenbesitzers übernehmen?
- A: Sie werden mit den Kreationen auffallen, weil dies den Charakteren angezeigt wird, die diese Dinge konsumieren. Darüber hinaus können sie abhängig von der Anzahl der Kunden, die bedient werden, bestimmte Arten von Einzelpostenprämien erhalten. Sie können auch wirtschaftliche Belohnungen erhalten, beispielsweise Gold aus dem Gasthaus, in dem die Waren verkauft werden. Und dann können bestimmte Arten von Rezepten und/oder Anbietern freischaltet werden, basierend auf der Reputationsstufe, die in dieser bestimmten Node aufgebaut wurde[100] – Steven Sharif
- Tavernen verfügen über Technologiebäume die es dem Tavernenbesitzer ermöglichen, bestimmte Boni und Dienstleistungen des Unternehmens zu spezialisieren und zu verbessern. [102][101]
- Möglicherweise gibt es Aufträge die nur in Tavernen im Besitz des Spielers gesammelt werden können.[101]
Freehold farms
Freehold farms are workstation plots available for farming crops and livestock on freeholds.[105][105][106][107][24][108][109]
- Sammeln and processing professions such as hunting, taming, and animal husbandry can benefit from having room for animals on a freehold.[4]
- Freehold permissions can be granted to allow other players to harvest resources on a freehold farm.[4]
- If farming and raising animals is important to you, then know that having room for this on your Freehold is a balancing act. Since Freeholds have space constraints, players will need to make choices about how much room they want to set aside for buildings, and where they want to do things like crop placement and rotation, and where to put livestock animals.[4]
- Artisan freehold features are also affected by adjacent terrain features. For example: building next to a river provides a nearby source of clean freshwater, and will have a positive effect on crops.[110]
Fisheries
A fishery is a farmable workstation that can be placed on a freehold plot. A fishery allows gathering of fish that are unique to the fishery blueprint.[104]
Freehold security
Ein Rechte-System wird dem Eigentümer ermöglichen Zugriff auf bestimmte Bereiche ihres Heims zu vergeben.[111][112][113]
- Die Erlaubnis die Türe zu öffnen und das Heim zu betreten.[112][113]
- Zugang zu Pflanzen.[112]
- Die Möglichkeit Items in das Lager zu legen oder heraus zu nehmen.[112][114][115]
- Erlaubnis zu dekorieren, jedoch nicht etwas aus dem Haus zu entfernen.[112]
- Die Immobilie hat immer nur einen Eigentümer.[111]
- Bürgermeister haben die Möglichkeit aus der Stadtkasse NPC Söldner anzuheuern um ihre Node während einer Belagerung zu verteidigen.[117]
It'll be a single owner based system for those types of properties- for properties in general, but it doesn't prevent players obviously from collaborating and pooling resources in order to achieve certain achievements in the game.[111] – Steven Sharif
Freehold owners are able to set permissions that grant access to their artisan and business buildings' services.[4][118][35][119][7]
- Freehold ownership is designated by one account only and then the family system is the system that facilitates multiple accounts having permission basis within that freehold.[120] – Steven Sharif
- Freehold permissions are intended to work with the family and guild systems.[4][118][35]
- It is still not determined if freehold permissions will be able to be granted to individuals outside those social structures.[118]
- Freehold permissions may only apply to battalions/micro-structures within a guild.[121]
- Interaction with the guild system will be tested in Alpha-2.[122]
- This includes permission to enter the homestead, interact with furniture, access storage, interact with crafting or processing stations, and harvest resources.[4]
- Permissions to help manage your home are handled through affiliations like your Guild and family system. When setting permissions for your Freehold to do things like enter the house, interact with furniture, access Freehold storage, interact with crafting and processing stations, and harvesting gatherables on a Freehold, you can set if your Guild or family members should be able to do these things.[4]
- Permission to decorate a freehold is restricted to the owner of the freehold.[123] Previously it was stated that permission to decorate but not take anything from the house would be able to be assigned to other players.[112]
- Family members may be granted permission to apply their cosmetic skins to freehold buildings.[12]
Players cannot steal from a freehold under normal circumstances.[4][124][125][126]
- Items stored in a freehold become lootable after a successful siege against their parent node.[127][4][126] It has not been decided which players get to loot the debris field during this period.[127]
- Only players given permission to do so will be able to do things like access your Freehold storage, and harvest crops and animals on your Freehold. These permissions are capable of being individually assigned per interaction. Note that if the node associated with your Freehold is successfully destroyed during a siege event, attackers will be able to assault Freeholds, and have a chance to pillage them for their resources.[4]
Players cannot PvP while inside the footprint of a freehold homestead even if the doors are unlocked.[4][128] This does not apply for a period of two hours following a successful siege against its parent node.[129][130][131][132]
- Your home building is safe from PvP. While on the footprint of your home, you can not be harmed by damage from other players.[4]
- NPC-Wachen may be available for hire to defend freeholds after a successful node siege.[132] NPC guards that permanently exist on a freehold are not a planned feature.[133]
- Duelle may be initiated within a freehold or node as they are considered self-contained events that are opt-in by all parties, and do not fall under the player flagging system.[134]
Freehold destructibility
Grundbesitz may be attacked by any player for a period of two hours following a successful siege against its parent node.[129][130][131][132] Freeholds can also be lost by foreclosure for not paying property taxes or other fees.[4]
- Players and their allies may defend their freehold for this period of time.[132]
- Structures and guards may be obtained to defend freeholds during this period.[132]
- When it comes to losing Freeholds like this, one person’s loss is another person’s gain. While there aren’t enough Freeholds in the world for everyone to have one at the same time, this cycle of players losing Freeholds creates opportunities for other players to acquire one.[4]
After the two hour period of open combat following a successful node siege, any remaining freeholds will exist under a grace period for roughly 1 week where another node may take over the zone of influence of the freehold.[130][131]
- The freehold owner will be required to undertake a quest process to have their freehold adopted by a new node if one exists.[130]
- At the end of the grace period, if the freehold does not reside within the ZOI of a Dorf (Stufe 3) node or above, it will be destroyed.[4][131][130][135]
- If a siege is successful, then the Node is brought down to Level 0, and anyone who was a citizen of that Node is no longer a citizen. Freeholds within the Zone of Influence are subject to a period of vulnerability. These Freeholds can be destroyed by other players during a period of roughly 2 hours after a successful siege. Destroyed Freeholds are subject to material loss, and blueprints for them are mailed to the player to utilize for future placement in order to allow the player to keep their Freehold’s layout and structure. Once the vulnerability period is complete, any remaining Freeholds will exist under a grace period for roughly 1 week where another Node may take over the Zone of Influence of the Freehold.[131] – Margaret Krohn
- Q: How many times a year do you suspect that most players will be moving residence based on nodes being eliminated from sieges?
- A: There are a lot of variables that influence that answer. I'm not sure I can give an average, but what I would say is that depending on the political dynamic of a server: if a server tends to have more combat and/or sieges against nodes, that is going to increase the amount of opportunity for freeholds to be removed from the world and then replaced. I'm not sure I have an average. what I will say is that it is very important to remember that Ashes is not a PvP game and it is not a PvE game. It is a PvX game and that has a very specific meaning. It means that as these systems are developed as they are designed and they are integrated with each other: they are done so from a competitive viewpoint and how that system relates to both PvE and PvP. Freeholds are one of those systems very much so and it's because of the cyclical nature that we're attempting to achieve with the development of nodes and the destruction of nodes, the world is a rapidly and dynamically changing place really. So it's intended to be something that is constantly recycling and is leaking out different types of content and new content that revitalizes the player interest and stimulates new points of conflict or cooperation.[136] – Steven Sharif
Housing designs
Player housing designs and decorations are retained and can be placed again later if the housing is destroyed during a node siege.[4][137][138]
- Blueprints for homestead, business, and artisan freehold buildings, including progression and upgrades, are returned to the player.[4][131][137][138]
- A possible design idea is for items such as furnishings to be boxed in crates that are accessible inside the new home.[139]
Guild freeholds
Sobald eine Gilde ein bestimmtes Level erreicht, erhält der Gildenmeister ein Gilden-Grundbesitz-Zertifikat, welches ihm die Platzierung einer Gildenhalle ermöglicht.[140]
Underrealm freeholds
Ressourcen will be different in the Unterreich, including unique species of fish.[141][142][143]
- This will affect professions such as fishing, farming, and animal husbandry.[141][143]
- Since players may only have one Freehold, they must choose their Artisan specializations accordingly if they wish to place it in the Underrealm.[143]
Housingarten
Spielerbehausungen | Art. | Verfügbartkeit. | Limit. |
---|---|---|---|
Apartments | Instanziert.[11] | Dorf Stufe und höher.[144] | Eines pro Server.[22] |
Grundbesitz | Open World.[11] | Dorf Stufe und höher.[11] | Einer pro Account.[22] |
Statische Behausungen | In-Node.[11] | Dorf Stufe und höher.[11] | Eine per Server.[22] |
Immobilien
Spieler kaufen die Rechte für Spielerbehausungen direkt von der Node.[145] Spieler können Immobilien auch mit anderen Spielern handeln.[11]
- Behausungen werden einen Grundpreis haben, der mit der Anzahl der Bürger in der Node skaliert.[146]
- In-Node Behausungen werden teuer und vermutlich sehr umkämpft sein.[11]
- Je mehr Apartments in einer Node gekauft wurden, desto höher skaliert der Preis.[147]
- Die entwickler wägen eine auktionsbasierte Methode ab, um neue Immobilien zum Verkauf zu stellen, wenn eine Node sich entwickelt.[148]
- Statische Behausungen und Apartments können von anderen Spielern gelistet und verkauft werden.[149][150]
- Es gibt keine Höchstgrenze für wie viel der Verkauf eines Gebäudes von Spielern einbringen kann.[151]
- Spielerbehausungen, die während einer Nodebelagerung zerstört werden, können nicht mehr verkauft werden.[152]
- Grundbesitz kann nicht an andere Spieler verkauft werden.[149] Das kann sich möglicherweise im Verlauf der Testphase noch ändern.[153]
There's no cap essentially in player originated sales. Those are determined essentially by supply and demand as it is within the game and there's no artificial barrier to how high that demand can go.[151] – Steven Sharif
- Der Hausbesitz kann wieder an die Node zurückgehen, wenn der Besitzer es versäumt seine Gebäude-Steuern zu zahlen. Die Steuerschulden und Strafgebühren werden dem neuen Besitzer im Rahmen einer Zwangsvollstreckung in Rechnung gestellt.[146]
- Spieler werden das Limit für die Anzahl ihrer Spielerbehausungen nicht überschreiten können.[154]
This will allow players to transfer real property goods. This includes ... static housing, this includes apartments that they may own; and they can sell those because those will have a limited and finite quantity.[154] – Steven Sharif
Miete- und Leasingkonzepte befinden sich aktuell in der Begutachtungsphase.[154]
Some concepts that we have is going to be rental or leases that could be had allowing players to lease a property for a period of time where they will have control rights over utilizing storage based on the area, controlling the furniture or access point; all that stuff.[154] – Steven Sharif
Housing taxes
When a node reaches stage 3 (Dorf) and a player run government has formed, all player housing will pay taxes.[155]
- A player's tax charge will be determined by the number of structures built on their plot.[28][73]
- Freehold taxes are calculated based on the number of permits issued for buildings on a freehold.[4][71][72][28][73]
- Buildings that require permits will have additional upkeep costs.[4]
- Maintaining businesses requires licensing and payments to the node your Freehold is associated with. This permitting system allows for a certain number of buildings to be constructed on a Freehold. Permits can be obtained from the same node the Freehold was certified from, and buildings that require permits will have an additional upkeep cost.[4]
- Housing foreclosures result from failing to pay property taxes or other fees.[4]
Housing foreclosures
Housing foreclosures result from failing to pay property taxes or other fees.[156][4]
- Non-payment of taxes will put the housing into a default status. The player will have a period of time to settle the debt before the housing is foreclosed.[156]
- The developers are considering allowing pre-payment of housing taxes and/or allowing auto deduction of tax from a designated location, such as their personal inventory or warehouse.[157]
- Materialien and resources (such as livestock) that were stored on foreclosed freeholds will be included in the auction for the deed to that freehold. Stored and placed props, such as furniture will be returned to the previous owner.[4]
- If you don’t pay taxes and other fines, your Freehold property will be foreclosed. When a Freehold is foreclosed on, stored and placed props like furniture are returned to the previous owner. Materials that were stored on a Freehold will be included in the auction for the Deed to that Freehold.[4]
- Non-payment of the game subscription will also result in loss of player housing.[158]
