Version vom 3. März 2024, 20:32 Uhr
Aufträge in Ashes of Creation are divided into three main categories: Events, Commissions, and Story arc quests.[5][6][7][8]
- All three categories of quests will be available from a variety of local, hidden and discovered sources, such as commissions boards and NPC quest givers.[5][9]
- The various questing systems are intended to direct player activity toward content that affects the development of the world.[10]
- Nodes act as a hub; and one of the ways they direct player traffic is obviously through the commissions, the buy orders, things that essentially are supplying that demand of activity or action from the player; and then what the players choose to do is essentially the agency that's provided in helping to dictate how the world state will change.[10] – Steven Sharif
- Every type of quest can be shared with other players in the same party. This may be tuned based on Alpha-2 testing.[11][12]
- Story arc quests and events can be shared within a raid group.[13]
- Other types of quests, or commissions, if allowed within a raid group, may be selectively distributed with members of that raid.[13] For example: kill objectives may be shared, but drop objectives may go to the first member looting the drop.[14]
- If we do allow progression within narrative systems like a quest or commission, I think that's going to be distributed based on the number of raid or party participants. So, killing a particular monster is not going to get everybody a check mark on their progress towards killing 20. It's going to be one person's going to get that progression; and then it'll continue to the next person and so on and so forth. If we're talking about some questlines, like story arcs or events that have phases, or that have overall participation by many members then that progress can be shared at a party raid level. So there's different settings depending on what objective there is within a quest. Some of them will share, some of them will be distributed.[13] – Steven Sharif
- Certain quests, such as story arc quests, may not be able to be turned in after a node has advanced or has been destroyed.[15]
- Dialog choices within the quest UI are intended to affect gameplay, such as unlocking side quests and storylines.[16]
- Q: Will dialogue choices have any impact on the quests in regards to how NPCs respond to you or the overall outcome of that quest, or is it more just a role-playing perspective without any major impact?
- A: No. The dialogue choices are intended to provide an impact, both with the response of the NPC, it might also serve as predicates for other systems. If there are certain paths chosen within the dialogue tree it might unlock different side arcs and story lines that other players may not experience. The dialogue trees are not meaningless. They're meant to provide gameplay related context.[16] – Steven Sharif
List of quests
Quest givers
- Quest giver NPCs in Ashes of Creation have subtle indicators rather than obvious question marks or exclamation marks. Quest givers are identified by a green shimmer on their nameplates.[6]
- Not every quest/quest-giver will originate from within a node.[20]
- Quest giver NPCs cannot be killed by players.[21][22]
- When there is an ability to kill a NPC, there should be a good reason for killing that NPC; and denying content to other players is not necessarily a good reason. So, the quest givers themselves are not killable.[21] – Steven Sharif
Quest-Marker
There are not going to be obvious quest markers, such as question marks and exclamation marks telling players where to turn.[23]
- There will be subtle ways that players will acquire knowledge that something is to be done in an area.[23]
List of quest givers
List of quest rewards
Quest rewards are intended to be commensurate with the difficulty of the quest.[25]
- Scarcity is obviously what can drive the excitement or the dopamine response when that success is had. If something is easily attained then the importance of attaining it is obviously diminished... There will be very rare drop-table items; and we want to ensure that that scarcity is preserved so the importance of attaining the thing feels good.[25] – Steven Sharif
Handlungsstränge
Handlungsstränge werden durch verschiedene Arten von Spieleraktivitäten auf jedem Server freigeschaltet.[30][28][27][31]
- Regionale Aktivität Aktivität.[32][34]
- In jeder Phase, in der sich eine Node entwickelt, werden Erzählungen und Handlungsstränge freigeschaltet, die Spawn-Population in der Umgebung wird verändert, welche Bosse existieren, es werden Ereignisse ausgelöst, bei denen legendäre Drachen die Stadt angreifen können. Es geht im Grunde darum, die Geschichte des Servers basierend auf den Aktionen und der Entschlossenheit der Spieler zu schreiben. Es kann also sein, dass ihr einen Monat zuvor einen Dungeon erleben werdet und im nächsten Monat eine völlig andere Geschichte mit Bezug zu diesem Ort habt, weil sich entweder geopolitisch oder vom Standpunkt der Node aus etwas geändert hat.[31] – Steven Sharif
- Persönliche oder klassenbasierte Aktivität.[35][36][37][38][32][33][39][34]
- Es ist möglich, dass sich einige Handlungsstränge auf einen dunkleren/bösen Weg beziehen, wenn ein Charakter die wünscht.[40]
- Sogar spielergesteuerte Mechaniken werden weiterhin Story-Komponenten haben. Es wird einen Grund geben, warum der vom Spieler gesteuerte Mechaniker verfügbar ist oder vom Spieler benötigt wird; Jedes System, das geschaffen wird, berührt also eine Geschichte.[39] – Steven Sharif
- Wenn zu viele andere große Handlungsstränge gleichzeitig in derselben Zone stattfinden, muss ein Handlungsstrang möglicherweise warten, bis er an der Reihe ist, selbst wenn die Bedingungen für die Freischaltung stimmen. [30]
- Handlungsstränge steuern eine oder mehrere Storyquests im Spiel.[41][42][43][44][34]
- Handlungsstränge können sich in verschiedene Geschichten mit mehreren möglichen Enden verzweigen, abhängig von den Questzielen, die die Spieler in jedem Kapitel erfüllen.[41][42]
- ie Entwickler werden versuchen sicherzustellen, dass die Handlungsstränge in zukünftigen Erweiterungen nabhängig von den unterschiedlichen möglichen Ergebnissen auf bestehenden Handlungssträngen aufbauen. [41]
- Handlungsstränge können World Events auslösen.[45]
- Es wird eine Vielzahl verschiedener Arten von Handlungsbogeninhalten in unterschiedlichen Maßstäben und mit unterschiedlichen Abklingzeiten geben, um den unterschiedlichen Spielertypen im Spiel gerecht zu werden. [46]
- Wir müssen so viele Inhalte in unterschiedlichen Maßstäben bereitstellen, dass es weder lohnenswert noch wirtschaftlich ist, jeden einzelnen Handlungsstrang auf der Welt zu kontrollieren. Einige davon werden in Größe und Produktionswert kleiner sein und sich daher schneller bewegen und kürzere Abklingzeiten haben, bevor sie wieder eingeführt werden.[46] – Skott B
- Korrupte Ressourcen sind Variationen von Ressourcen die nur in korrupten Gebieten oder während bestimmter Handlungsstränge verfügbar sind .[47][48][49][46]
Bestimmte Story Arcs können über das Bulletin Board System freigeschaltet werden. Für den Zugriff auf Storyquests müssen bestimmte Anforderungen erfüllt sein. [50]
- Bürgermeister benötigen bestimmte Ressourcen.[50]
- Innerhalb einer Node sind Gebäude erforderlich. .[50]
- Sozialorganisationaufgaben müssen erledigt werden.[50]
Story arc chapters
Each chapter (phase) in a story arc can cause changes across the entire server, such as environments, monsters, NPCs, Aufträge, and pathways.[43][29][32][33][34]
- Players can progress a chapter by completing story arc quests within the timeframe that each chapter is active.[43]
- Phase timers are shown (in the quest UI) to indicate how much real-world time is available to complete the quests in each phase.[42]
- If the player completes all quests in a particular chapter, they will need to wait until the next chapter to obtain further quests.[51]
- Story arcs can branch into different stories with multiple possible endings depending on the quest objectives that players complete during each chapter.[41][42]
- It's not just a matter of completing the laundry list of things that the NPC has you do, but you pick from a whole bunch of objectives, many of them optional. Some of them, if not most of them, hidden when you first undertake the quest. So go dig up a guide, or blaze your own trail, or whatever; but depending on which objectives you complete, those are the things that help the server aggregate what is going to happen in later phases of the story arc. And that's across all of the players participating during that time frame: what objectives they decide to complete.[42] – Skott B
- Story arcs can last for days, which reduces pressure to log in daily to remain competitive.[52]
- Story arcs normally progress according to the passage of real-time, which is clearly indicated in your quest journals. Even if a zerg guild throws all their resources at a story arc, they can't lock anyone out of participating by doing all the participation on their own. You'll have the time indicated in your quest journal to finish the content available in that chapter.[46] – Skott B
- Most story arcs will repeat with a cooldown, but major story arcs will only occur one-time: These can be replayed, but in a non-interactive way where any choices made do not impact the world.[52][53]
- The cooldowns between arcs repeating will also be quite long- proportional to the length of the chapters, but we're still in pursuit of the right numbers there. You can't do the individual quests again until the entire arc restarts.[51] – Skott B
Story arc quests
Story arc quests (Storyline quests/Narrative quests) contain objectives for each chapter of a story arc.[41][42][43][44][34][8]
- Players can progress each chapter by completing story arc quests within the timeframe that each chapter is active.[43]
- Story arcs can branch into different stories with multiple possible endings depending on the quest objectives that players complete during each chapter.[41][42][44]
- You can't really farm the quests in any meaningful way, because once you've done the quests in a chapter, that's it until the next chapter. Whether 1000 people participate or 10, the chapters will stay active for the same length of time, and as long as you participate in the clearly-marked time frame in your quest journal, you're good. The only thing that a concentrated effort can help with is influencing the narrative paths through the arcs.[51] – Skott B
- These quests stages can be failed. The ability to retry a failed quest depends on Node-Entwicklung.[44]
- There will be many different quests that actually have stages of the storyline; and these stages can actually be failed. You can actually fail a storyline; which sucks when you think about it, but at the same time that risk makes your investment that much more important.[44] – Steven Sharif
- Quests may differ based on the stages of nearby nodes, seasonal influences, and events such as world bosses.[54]
- Quests involving citizens from multiple nodes are unlocked based on the alliances and other relationships between the nodes and their progression.[55]
Events
Events are things that happen in Ashes of Creation as the result of development in the world.[58][59] There are several different types of events that are triggered due to certain conditions (predicates) being met.[45][60][56][61] Events are scaled to fit local, regional, and global needs.[62][8]
- Events... can be local, regional or global, and consist of boons or banes. They’re triggered based on a lot of different variables, and some may be one-off Events that occur once, and never again. If an Event is handled successfully, then something good happens to the local, regional, or global area. If it fails, then something bad befalls the local, regional or global area. They’ll relate to the overall Narrative, but don’t fall into its overall structure (for the most part). These are the things that will be written into history, and we imagine that as time grows, each server’s history will diverge more and more.[63]
- Some events incorporate random story-driven interruptions to the normal flow of the world, such as blocking off specific roadways, having a random raid boss or mobs appear unexpectedly in a zone. Some may lead to wider consequences, such as climate change, plagues, volcanic eruptions, forest fires, or other natural disasters.[64][58][65][66][67]
- There are events that lead to the spreading of corruption that players will have to fight back against. When these events occur players will need to participate to keep the intrusion on the material plane back.[68][69][70]
- Events that are taken care of successfully have positive consequences and provide rewards based on the contribution of players during the event.[71][8]
- There are certain effects that can happen in a world that does not have a proper response from the player population and that's the whole idea behind these events that can happen; that feel like these are natural world progression events if corruption starts to show itself as a response- as a push back to the player's development of nodes in the world itself.[68] – Steven Sharif
- Events that reach a fail condition can have negative consequences.[72][68][8]
- There is the ability to fail. I know that is a strange concept for a lot of us nowadays playing more modern games, but there is absolutely a way to fail.[72] – Steven Sharif
- Events have cooldowns in addition to the predicates that are required to trigger them.[72]
- Events absolutely do have cooldowns that cannot be forced to spawn repeatedly over and over again. Those cooldowns are not just something that's based on a timer, they're also predicated on certain actions occurring within the world.[73] – Steven Sharif
- If events are not triggered within a certain time period, they could occur randomly.[59]
- Some events will only be available while story arcs are in certain chapters.[51]
- There may be one-off events.[63]
- Events do not directly impact class effectiveness but there may be ancillary effects in terms of availability of equipment, enchantments or tattoos.[74]
Event-Typen
There are a variety of different types of events that are triggered due to certain conditions (predicates) being met.[45][60][56][61]
- Calendar events.[56][76][77]
- Caravan events.[78][58]
- Monstermünzen-Events.[56][79][80]
- Narrative events.[56][81][61][8]
- Node attacks.[56][79][68]
- POI events.[56][81]
- PvP events.[56][81][82]
- World events.[45][56][61]
Monstermünzen-Events
Monstermünzen enable players to play as monsters within the monster coin event system. This ranges from playing as a horde of zombies, to becoming a massive dragon.[86][79][80]
- During a Monster Coin Event, players will be able to activate Monster Coins, allowing them to become monsters and wreak havoc! These Events can be triggered in a variety of different ways, and in some cases they may even provide cosmetic rewards.[56]
Monstermünzen-Events are system spawned events.[79][87]
- They are structured in a way to prevent groups from gaming the system.[87]
- Monster coin events are triggered by activity in the world, such as node advancement, defeating a boss or constructing certain types of buildings within a node.[88]
- Server messages appear for players in the vicinity of these dynamic events.[89]
- The player will have a number of potential objectives they can choose to attack during the event. This may include node buildings, points-of-interest, dungeon, NPC, or other open-world objective.[83]
- When you're playing as a as a monster from the monster coin use as part of an NPC event that might be targeting a node, or other some other open-world objective or POI, or dungeon, you get to participate as a monster and your focus is completing objectives that have already been prescribed as part of the event.[83] – Steven Sharif
- Drop tables are disabled for player controlled monsters.[90]
- Monster coins only allow a character to participate in events on their own server.[91]
- NPC hate lists do not affect monster coin events.[83]
Die Uralten are not going to be part of the monster coin system.[92]
- Traditionally, the Ancients are not going to be part of the Monster Coin system. These are the primary antagonists of the story. From a lore perspective, and one of the reasons why they're not a part of the Monster Coin system, is because their souls have really developed almost to the point of perfection in manipulating the Essence for more corrupt uses. They haven't quite gotten there, and who knows if they ever will, but that attunes them out of the possibility: The reason why the monster coin system is possible with other creatures.[93] – Steven Sharif
Side quests
Side quests are quests with a variety of objectives that can pop-up while adventuring in the world.[95][94]
- Side quests give a variety of rewards and can lead into larger quest chains.[96][94]
- Some side quests can be hidden.[94]
- Side quests- these are a variety of quests with a variety of objectives that exist in the actual world itself: so they can be hidden in various ways; and so during your adventures, you want to pay attention around you cuz one might pop up on your map and if you're lucky you might notice it and be able to obtain it and it might lead into a really big quest chain.[94] – Tony Garcia
- Side quests will spawn based on player activity and world states in a similar manner to commissions.[95][96]
- Just like any of our spawning systems, like with what Tyler is getting at with the commission board, they all are reading world states to determine what is allowed to spawn and where it should spawn and things like that. So, different side quests can appear depending on the world state.[96] – Skott B
- Side quests are completed by turning the quest in to the designated quest giver NPC.[97]
Commissions
Commissions (previously called Tasks) are simple types of system-generated quests with singular objectives that enable characters and nodes to gain XP.[95][5][99][100][101][102][103][104]
- Commissions are posted on commission boards in nodes, which refresh approximately every 30 minutes (subject to change based on Alpha-2 testing). Everybody in the node can see and access the commissions relevant to their level and node reputation.[105][95][10][106][5]
- Everyone sees the same commissions relevant to their level range. Some commissions you see are more rare than others and will require sufficient reputation within the node in order to accept.[105] – Steven Sharif
- Commissions fall into categories based on node type, buildings constructed, social organizations, religions, and node policies.[107]
- Node commissions have dedicated commission slots that are categorized by such things as; node type, buildings constructed, social org, religion and policy.[107] – Steven Sharif
- Commissions are assigned rarities, which scale the rewards for their completion. More developed nodes will offer rarer commissions that are available to players with sufficient node reputation.[105][95][5]
- The rewards basically grow quite a lot depending on the rarity of the commission that gets dealt; and these get dealt for everybody... You can improve your chances of getting rare commissions for your node depending on how you develop your node.[5] – Skott B
- Commissions respond to (and can influence) different conditions in the world, such as weather, time of day, story arcs, and events. Commissions (along with other Node systems) attempt to lead players into areas where relevant content can be found.[10][106]
- Every 30 minutes or so the board will refresh. The server will query a bunch of different information about the world; and this is from ranging from story arcs that are active, story arcs that have been completed, weather, time of day- a whole bunch of different range of factors. The board will attempt to deliver commissions that are relevant to these areas and they will try to lead you into areas where more content can be found.[106] – Tyler Carroll
- Player characters may only have 20 active commissions at one time (subject to change based on Alpha-2 testing). This does not include other quest types, such as side quests, or story arc quests.[108]
- The types of commissions available in a node will be representative of the identity of that node, such as its social organizations, religious organizations, and node policies.[109]
- Q: Will commissions include tasks or quests that are reflective of the node type that they are issued in, or the nodes affiliation with a specific social organizations?
- A: Yes. The answer is yes. Nodes will reflect the theming that the node has and that theming can be influenced by things such as the identity of the node from a node type perspective, what social organizations, what religious organizations, even what policies the node has chosen to enact. Those will all be represented in the types of commissions that the node has to pull from; and so in that way you are solidifying the identity of that node; and again the dynamic state of the world that gets represented.[109] – Steven Sharif
- Commissions are similar to mayoral commissions but they are system-generated rather than initiated by Bürgermeister.[101]
- Mayoral commissions are specifically chosen by the mayor, which is similar to the regular commission system, but that system is more system generated.[101] – Chris Justo
Mayoral commissions
Mayoral commissions are simple types of quests with singular objectives that are able to be initiated by mayors.[110][111][113]
- Mayoral commissions cost gold from the treasury for the mayor to initiate.[110][111]
- There are a limited number of commission slots available to be set by the mayor at any one time.[101][111]
- Access to commissions is based on node type, location, building choices, and predominant node race.[110][111]
- There will be a cap to the number of commissions that can be accepted by a single player.[101]
- Completing mayoral commissions will reward the node with node commodities, node-to-node reputation, mandates, and temporary buffs to buildings or zones.[110][111]
- Players will receive experience, node reputation, node currency, and other miscellaneous rewards.[110][111][113]
- Mayoral commissions can be conducted by both citizens and non-citizens, but only citizen contribution will generate mandates for the node.[101][111]
- Mayoral commissions are similar to commissions, which are system-generated quests that enable characters and nodes to gain XP.[100][101]
- Q: Is participation always going to be greater for larger nodes by default, or can a small node with close to 100 participation still greatly benefit from them?
- A: That's gonna come down to what commissions the mayor is initiating. Level three nodes aren't going to be initiating mayoral commissions that require thousands of players to participate, because they don't have access to those; where Metropolises that have a huge citizenship base will get access to those kinds of commissions. So the rewards will be proportionate to the node level and the expected amount of citizens.[114] – Chris Justo
List of commissions
PvP quests
There will be PvP quests in Ashes of Creation.[115]
- There are quests that interact with PvP. PvP is not a secondary component of the game. PvP is an equitable component of the game. Remember we are a PvX game, which means that we emphasize both PvE quest lines and story modes and content as well as PvP. It is an intended design theory for Ashes of Creation that the world is not filled with just your friends. The world is also filled with adversaries; and because of that we will provide opportunities to encourage social friction; and that may be in the form of these PvP oriented questlines.[115] – Steven Sharif
Tägliche Quests
Tägliche Quests will not be prevalent in Ashes of Creation.[116][117]
- We don't really have dailies.[116] – Steven Sharif
- There will not be an obligation to login each day.[117][118]
- Will likely not be RNG based.[117]
- Focused around how changes in the world relate to a player's opportunities.[117]
- Location matters due to the lack of fast travel.[117]
- I don't think those will be RNG based. Those will be probably- you will see the reward structure for those types of quests. Will they be dailies? No they won't be in the sense of what we've experienced dailies in the past where you feel so obligated to log in and like you'll miss these things. It's more gonna be focused around like how the world is changing and how the changes in the world relate to your opportunities; and then if your location's gonna matter because fast travel is not a thing, where you're located at is going to determine your the risk versus reward opportunities that are present; and then depending on the time that those occur.[117] – Steven Sharif
Grinding
Repetition (Wiederholung) wird nicht Teil des Leveling-Fortschritts in Ashes of Creation sein.[119]
- Es wird keine "grindy" Aufträge geben.[119]
- Es wird keine repetitiven Quest-Linien durch einen einzigen Dungeon geben, um Ausrüstung zu erhalten.[120]
- Das Bestreben ist es, im Spiel mehr Dinge erledigen zu können, als ein Spieler Zeit hat.[119]
Völker-spezifische Quests
Einige Aufträge werden in Verbindung mit dem Volk eines Spieler stehen.[121] Verschiedene Quests werden in Verbindung damit stehen welches Volk am meisten zu einer Node beigetragen hat. Dies wird keine Inhalte ausschließen, sondern den Quests mehr Würze verleihen.[121]
Es könnten sogar verschiedene Questverzeichnisse geben, die für bestimmte Völker existieren, und auch wenn ihr euch eine Quest teilt, um einen Boss zu töten, werde ich, wenn du ein Mensch bist und ich ein Elf bin, möglicherweise einen anderen Handlungsbogen haben, der in eine andere Richtung führt als bei dir, auch wenn wir dieselbe Quest angenommen haben; und das kann sich darauf beziehen, welches Volk am meisten zu einer Node beigetragen hat, so das verschiedene Handlungsbögen für Kulturen freischaltet werden, die sich die gemeinsame Kultur einer Nodes teilen - nicht, dass das Inhalte ausschließt, aber es gibt eine Tendenz in eine andere Richtung vor, so dass nicht alles so aus einem Guss ist. [121] – Steven Sharif
Das eigene Volk spielt eine Rolle, für den Verlauf der Geschichte und auch das Volk am meisten beigetragen hat zur Entwicklung einer Node. Wenn du als Niküa in einer Niküa-Node bist, die auch überwiegend von Niküa bewohnt wird, wirst du als Teil des Niküa-Volkes bestimmte Dienstleistung und Funktionen nutzen können, auf die andere Völker keinen Zugriff haben… Sie haben vielleicht alternative Questlinien, aber keine besonderen. Diese einzelnen Niküa-Quests werden sich dann auf die Meta-Erzählung beziehen, die in der Spielwelt vorhanden ist, und sie werden anfangen, einen Teil dieser Meta-Erzählung zu lenken; und das wird für eure Volk von Vorteil sein, denn es wird bestimmte Inhalte für euer Volk freischalten, die andere Völker noch nicht freigeschaltet haben. Es gibt also einen Ansporn, sich in dieser Richtung zu verbessern, um den Fortschritt einer dominanten Rasse zu bremsen. [122] – Steven Sharif
Aufträge, die Rasse spezifisch, Titel spezifisch oder Gilde spezifisch sind, werden wahrscheinlich weniger als 10% der Gesamtzahl der Quests ausmachen. 90% der Quests können von allen gespielt werden.[123]
NPC Völker
NPCs werden unterschiedlich auf verschiedene Tags eines Charakters reagieren.[121]
Klassen-spezifische Aufträge
Es wird Klassen-spezifische Aufträge in Ashes of Creation geben.[124]
There's going to be a lot of shared quests but there's also going to be class-specific quests; and the reason for that is that some classes are better at others than doing certain things and that'll play itself out through the general community quests. That's fine, but there are certain periods from a designer's perspective where you want to make an encounter be the antithesis of what a player is good at. It also gives them perspective because we have a more fluid class combination system where you can play the line in your traditional role by adding a secondary class that's different from your primary classes role. The benefit of having these class-specific quests early on especially in an archetype is that you can come to a determination and have greater experience for the things you're not good at. So you know how to progress your class in the future with the things you have access to that are different from what you're good at.'[124] – Steven Sharif
Diese Aufträge werden durch die Auswahl der primären und sekundären Archetypen im Laufe des Klassenfortschritts beeinflusst.
So you want to give them storyline that's relevant and make sense for them to their class progression. If I'm a fighter I should be going to a barracks and learning from this dude early on. Later on if I want to take on that mage secondary and I'm more arcane in the things I do, or more based in the essence, then yeah it makes sense for my also again for a catered quest to me that lets me focus on that route in the narrative.[125] – Steven Sharif
Solo quests
Ashes of Creation bietet Gameplay-Optionen für Solospieler.[127]
- Für Solospieler, denen es nicht wirklich wichtig ist, eine Community zum Spielen zu finden, die sie aber haben wollen, wenn sie sie brauchen, wird es aus Dialogperspektive viele Möglichkeiten geben, Chat-Optionen im Spiel; Sie können als Teil von Staatsbürgerschaften beitreten: Es gibt dort viele Pseudofraktionen – soziale Organisationen, die ihnen Zugang zu anderen Spielern verschaffen, ohne die starken Bindungen, die normalerweise mit gildenorientierten Organisationen einhergehen; und ich denke, dass das ein angenehmer Mittelweg zwischen den beiden ist.[127] – Steven Sharif
- Bestimmte Questreihen und Jagdgebiete sind Einzelspielern gewidmet.[127][2]
- Nodebürgerschafen und soziale Organisationen bieten die Möglichkeit, ohne die starken Bindungen zu interagieren, die normalerweise mit gildenorientierten Organisationen einhergehen.[127][128]
- In größeren Konflikten gibt es Mechanismen, mit denen kleine Gruppen und Einzelspieler Einfluss auf den Kampf nehmen können.[129]
- Dazu gehören Systeme, die sich wahrscheinlich auf Teilnehmer in Einzelgruppengröße konzentrieren, während der größere Kampf stattfindet.[129]
Epic/legendary quests
Episch and Legendary quests affect the narrative of the game.[7] These quests will unlock gated content.[130]
Server Geschichte
Der Verlauf jedes Server wird verfolgt und für Spieler in der Bibliozhrk einer Node sichtbar. [132][133]
- Dieses Design hat sich möglicherweise geändert.[134]
- Wir werden die Geschichte der Welt im Auge behalten, damit wir den Menschen die Geschichte bis zum heutigen Tag erzählen können. Ein ganz neuer Spieler, der nach sechs Monaten bei uns einsteigt, kann einen Blick auf jeden Server werfen, was jeder Server gemacht hat und wie jeder Server die Handlung angegangen ist; und sie können selbst entscheiden, welcher Gemeinschaft sie beitreten möchten; An welcher Version der Welt wollen sie teilnehmen?[133] – Jeffrey Bard
- Schreiber können möglicherweise Informationen über die Ereignisse in der Welt sammeln und aufzeichnen, so ihr sie aus eurer Sicht betrachtet.[135]
Voice acting
- NPCs erhalten gesprochene Audio- Begrüßungen.[136][137]
- Die Veröffentlichung erzählter Questreihen ist derzeit nicht geplant. [136] Es wurde erklärt, dass das spätere Hinzufügen von Sprachausgabe zum Spiel eine eher kosmetische Änderung sein wird. [136]
- Bestimmte Bosse und kreaturen verfügen neben anderen Audiohinweisen über Sprachzeilen. [138]
- KI-Sprachausgabe ist derzeit nicht geplant. [139]
- Ist es schwierig, später Sprachausgabe hinzuzufügen? Nein, das ist es definitiv nicht... Es handelt sich um eine eher kosmetische Änderung. [136] – Steven Sharif
- Sprachausgabe macht Spaß, ist aber nicht nur kostspielig, sondern erfordert auch viel Logistik. [140] – Steven Sharif
System driven caravans
System driven caravans (also referred to as Quest driven caravans) are system spawned caravans that are used for trade routes between nodes.[141][142][143]
- These are initiated by players with a diverse choice of routes and launch windows, making them difficult to zerg.[144]
- 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).[145]
- 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.[144] – Steven Sharif
Mayoral caravans
Mayoral caravans (also referred to as Trade caravans) are launched by Bürgermeister to obtain needed resources from other nodes.[45][141][142]
- Nodes answering these resource requests must have a trade agreement or alliance with the requesting node.[141][142][146]
- Once the requesting mayor accepts a fill order from another node, a system driven caravan is spawned to transit the goods.[141][142]
- Players can participate in helping to defend the caravan if they wish.[141]
- Trade caravans can initiate world events.[45]
- 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.[141] – Steven Sharif
Escort quests
Escort quests will require different movement speeds based on the challenges being faced.[147]
There are going to be different speeds that are going to be utilized. So you might be walking through one area and then they might start running and you might have to keep up and that might be time for certain ambushes that are intended along the design path. If you don't address that ambush in a quick manner your escortee has already started running off to the next thing and now he's getting ambushed by the next thing.[147] – Steven Sharif
Quests and reputation
NPCs reagieren - je nach ihren Beiträgen zu der Node - unterschiedlich auf Spieler.[148]
Steht ein Spieler auf der Hassliste eines NPCs, wird jeder Spieler, der diesen Spieler heilt, bufft oder anderweitig unterstützt, ebenfalls der Hassliste des NPCs hinzugefügt.[149]
Sammelquests
There will be collection quests.[150]
Sponsoring von Quests
Players can sponsor quests on a bulletin board.[151]
Beseitigen von Spieler-Korruption
Das Hauptheilmittel für Spieler Verderbnis ist der Tod. Es ist möglich, dass das vollständige Entfernen der Verderbnis mehrere Tode benötigt.[153][154]
- Erfahrungspunkte reduzieren die Verderbnispunkte eines Spielers auch langsam.[153]
- Dies führt zu einer lustigen Erfahrung für Kopfgeldjäger, während sie dich versuchen zu fangen während du die Verderbnis abarbeitest.[153] – Steven Sharif
- Verderbnisdauer ist in Militärknotenpunkten reduziert.[155]
