Mobs
There will be a mix of different monsters and difficulty levels throughout the world that are tied to the development of nearby nodes. As nodes advance, mobs will present new and increasing dangers that players can participate in.[4]
- In the world naturally there will be locations that are going to have a mix of different levels of monsters and difficulty levels; and then those spawn tables relate to the development of nearby nodes. So as nodes develop they'll be changing the spawn tables around them to reflect their further development in the world, presenting new and more difficult dangers that the players can participate in.[4] – Steven Sharif
- Not all creatures are immediately hostile to players.[5][6] Some creatures may hunt other creatures.[7]
- We've talked about this a little bit in the past when talking about taming and/or certain types of like creature gatherable resources there are herds that exist out there. There are big game that exist out there, where they're not going to aggro and attack you per-se. Also lower level monsters and certain type of like social monsters may not attack you off the bat.[6] – Steven Sharif
- There will be flying mobs, but not in terms of requiring a flying mount to engage them.[8]
- We will have flying monsters but essentially what that means is there's going to be rotations either in the behavior tree that might make them inaccessible to targets, or they might do some like swooping attacks; they might come and land on the ground and fight you. But generally monsters are going to be accessible from on the ground, so we're not creating content for the limited number of individuals who are going to have access to a flying mount.[8] – Steven Sharif
- Certain world bosses and elite monsters will path/roam throughout the world.[9][1] Other mobs will have leashes that will cause the mob to reset if it moves too far from its point of origin.[10]
- Leashes are relevant. There's other gameplay implications that happen when you're able to actually move populations around. We don't want to really give that to the players perspective.[10] – Steven Sharif
- In general, mobs will not leave footprints or cause screen-shake; but larger monsters and bosses may do.[12][13] Screen shake will be customizable in user interface settings.[12][14][15]
- There is something to be had there about those types of screen-shake effects. We want them to be present when we're emphasizing certain things, but we don't want them to be a nuisance, or annoying, or too plentiful; and having screen-shake apply to every step would probably be too abundant. Will players have control over those on-screen type effects? Yeah I think so. I think that's something we want to provision as a customizable option for players to be able to turn off, because it can be somewhat nauseating for certain groups of people and a distraction from what's happening in the world.[12] – Steven Sharif
- Average non-elite mob time-to-kill for a solo player is intended to be around 6 seconds.[16]
- Certain bosses and creatures will have voice lines along with other audio cues.[17]
Künstliche Intelligenz
Ashes of Creation utilizes an adaptive artificial intelligence (AI), meaning different encounters with similar mobs and bosses will yield different player experiences.[19][20]
- Some NPC AI behaviors may be randomly selected at the time of initial engagement causing them to make decisions dynamically during an encounter.[19][21][22][23]
- Higher frequency of AoE attacks depending on how many players are participating.[21]
- Unlock rage, recovery effects and buffs.[24][21]
- Supporting other monster types or classes nearby.[24]
- Additional adds and add classes.[21]
- Some NPCs may attempt to seek cover behind obstacles during encounters.[25]
- NPCs performing "idle actions" to make the world seem more alive has been discussed by the developers but is not confirmed.[26]
- Part of the NPC encounter design is not always going to be the same behavior tree. There will be purposefully behaviors that exist for the boss that are rolled at the time of the initial engagement; and so that is in an effort to keep things emergent, to keep things different, to try to not keep a static monotonous engagement idea.[19] – Steven Sharif
There are AI systems that don't relate to controlling NPCs.[27]
- There are some additional AI parameters that are set that don't relate necessarily to controlling NPCs. There are AIs with regards to the development of the borders for nodes in the direction and also the decisions that are made of which lower nodes to enslave as vassal states. There's AI that relates to a little bit of the stock market that's going to be present in the economy. There's some AI systems that are going to be announced also that are pretty innovative I think with regards to the MMORPG genre and that's going to make the triggered event system very interesting I think; and that's with regards to how nodes develop and the environment reacts to that development by spawning these triggered events of a horde of zombies attacking a city or a legendary raid boss coming out of the mountain. I think there's a lot of opportunity for some of the innovations that's been in the AI sector of game development too to come out in Ashes.[27] – Steven Sharif
Adaptive Inhalte
Neue Points of Interest (wie z.B. Dungeon und World Bosse) spawnen, wenn sich Nodes entwicklen.[28] Dieser Content passt sich an die Entwicklung der Zone an, in der er sich befindet.[29]
- Die Population wird sich verändern.[29]
- Die Schwierigkeit des Contents wird sich ändern.[29]
- Der Content ändert sich vielleicht Grundlegend, abhängig davon, was sich wie entwickelt.[29]
- Verschiedene Arten von Antagonisten mit verschiedenen Storylines.[29]
- Manche Dungeons werden nur freigeschaltet, wenn sich Nodes zu einer bestimmten Stufe entwickeln.[30]
- Die Ziele einer Storyline innerhalb von Dungeons hängen davon ab, welche Story Arcs durch das Node System gewählt wurden.[30]
- Drop Tables in Gebieten und Dungeons werden in die Fortschritt von bestimmten Gebieten eingebunden sein.[30]
Certain dungeons and other points of interest across the map will all be affected by the server’s node development. Some dungeons will only be unlocked if nodes are developed to certain stages. The storyline objectives for players inside dungeons will also be dependent on the story arc paths chosen through the node system. The drop tables in area and dungeons will also be tied into the progression of certain areas. For example, let’s say that the humans have developed a node in Region A, and a storyline has opened up that leads players to inspect the ruins (dungeon) of a nearby area. And let’s say that this node was developed in a scientific (crafting) zone… Well before the node developed, this dungeon was accessible… But now the dungeon has propagated new monster assets that include a drop table catering to a crafting emphasis because of the development of that academic node. And perhaps, a new boss appears in different rooms of the dungeon that includes different adventure quest starts, like a mysterious item with a storyline that can only be progressed if a node develops to the metropolis stage in a certain region, across the world. Our system is so vast, when it comes to interconnectivity and how the world reacts to the players.[30]
Plündern
Ashes of Creation intends to use traditional loot rules, selected by the party or raid leader.[33][34][35]
- Group loot rules are defined on a per-rarity basis.[31]
- A majority of party members must vote to approve any changes to group loot allocation changes.[32]
- The developers are considering using a double-tap interaction to loot all containers within a close proximity radius.[36]
- There won't be auto-looting pets.[37]
- It will be possible to kick a player from a party prior to them acquiring loot.[38]
- Yes, technically it would be possible for you to kick a player prior to acquiring loot. However, again because we are a game that relies on social interactions, there are reputations to be had; and if you acquire a reputation as a raid leader, or as a party leader, of doing something dirty like that, then it's unlikely you'll be able to Garner the support of future party members and/or raids to lead efforts against these raid bosses.[38] – Steven Sharif
- Free-for-all.[35]
- Whoever is first to loot gets the loot.[33]
- A master looter (or lootmaster) is a player designated by the party leader to decide how loot is distributed in a dungeon or raid party.[35]
- With round-robin looting, party members take turns looting.[35]
- This is a traditional need before greed system based on dice rolls.[35]
- Since there is very little gear binding in Ashes of Creation, it's left to the party to deal with players who excessively roll Need on loot.[39]
- Bidding system.[35]
- Intrepid are investigating a potential bidding system, which allows players to bid on items instead of rolling for them.[35]
Beute-Tabellen
- Mobs drop glint, Gegenstände, and crafting materials in preference to gold.[40][41]
- Glint is not bound to a specific region and can be also dropped by players on death as stolen glint, based on applicable death penalties.[42][43][44][45][40][46]
- The rarity of glint increases with the mob's level.[47]
- Loot tables are disabled for player controlled monsters.[48]
- There is a small RNG chance of looting rare and legendary items or crafting materials from mobs based on the level, status and type of mob. This also applies to harvesting resources with a gathering profession.[49]
- Experience debt decreases the drop rate percentages from monsters.[50]
- Loot (loot tables) from world bosses or dungeon bosses has a small RNG chance of dropping gear (completed items).[51][52]
- There is a much higher chance that materials and unique recipes are dropped that can be used to craft items of equitable value.[51][53][54]
- Legendary equipment is only dropped by Legendary world bosses.[55]
- Loot tables will likely not be affected by weather conditions.[57] This was previously listed as a possible effect.[58]
- There won't be specific loot drops for artisans.[59] Previously it was stated that master gatherers may have the ability to "spoil" a boss' loot.[60]
- Q: Can only one gathering artisan harvest resources from a single boss, or can multiple different artisans harvest different parts from a boss for different resources? For example, a lumberjack gets a special wood from Tumock's tree weapon, while a herbalist gathers the flowers from that same tree.
- A: We don't have the concept of harvesting from bosses. NPCs follow a reward table format, where those reward tables are global. They're not unique to particular players. So, once the NPC is vanquished, you have access to the loot container that is its corpse; and it has a static value of either materials or items that get dropped; and whatever the party loot settings are that you might be a part of, or if you're a solo player you will be able to recover those things.[59]
Telegraphen
In specific circumstances there will be telegraphs (tells) to communicate something that's happening.[61]
- Animation tells.
- Templates.
