Alpha-1 early quest user interface.[1]

Questing in our world combines the best elements of traditional MMO’s as well as the introduction of our unique player driven experiences. Ashes of Creation offers area quests, public quests, and quest chains that change dynamically and in real time based on the player’s experiences and choices. Players will have the ability to directly alter world events and change the landscape through their actions, as an individual and as a community. Server quests will allow political rivals to compete for the fate of the world.[2]

Alpha-2 quest journal user interface early preview.[3]

We actually used the journal as one of our test cases for the style guide because it's a very complex screen. There's a lot of things that are going on, where we have different tiers of story arcs that might be available for players; and so we wanted to make sure the color denoted different information for them. We also have iconography to support that as well; and we have a little bit of a twist on what a traditional quest system would be like. With these story arcs we wanted to make sure that it was organized in a familiar way, but also something that supported all of the designs needs.[4]Colby Marchi

Aufträge in Ashes of Creation are divided into three main categories: Events, Commissions, and Story arc quests.[5][6][7][8]

  • 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]
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.[14]Steven Sharif

Quest givers

Maho, Streamweaver quest giver outside of the Miraleth node in Alpha-2.[17]

As opposed to what we may be used to in other MMOs where you see giant question marks or exclamation points, we've gone a little bit more subtle with the way that certain NPCs reflect their dialogue or quest availability. There's a slight shimmer that exists over the name and their color: Green represents quest logs- quest paths and then the gold represents the shops.[6]Steven Sharif

  • 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.[18]
  • Quest giver NPCs cannot be killed by players.[19][20]
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.[19]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.[21]

  • There will be subtle ways that players will acquire knowledge that something is to be done in an area.[21]

Alpha-2 work-in-progress quest dialog designed by Colby Marchi.[22]

When you're servicing multiple dialogue trees that have many different options, this approach is really conducive to keeping those options front-and-center to the player: letting them see that and navigating through the dialogue tree with a very easy to interact with quest window.[22]Steven Sharif

List of quest rewards

Quest rewards are intended to be commensurate with the difficulty of the quest.[23]

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.[23]Steven Sharif

Events

The world of Verra is a dynamic and ever-changing landscape filled with wonder, adventure, and danger. One of the many mechanics that allow us to achieve this adaptability is Events. Events are one of the primary ways that players will experience content. Events focus on delivering a reactive world that keeps players on their toes while changing up gameplay in a fun and unique way, providing challenges, and shaping the world around them. Players will encounter events throughout their entire time on Verra - from early progression to high-level dungeons and raids.[24]Peter Bisulca

Corrupted area in Alpha-1, design by Mia DelCasino.[25]

I think Ashes' whole premise is to incorporate events and changes and evolution that not only represents player activity but also incorporates random story driven interruptions to the normal flow of the world; and whether that be through blocking off specific roadways that are the lifeblood of a particular node's incoming resources, or having random raid boss appear in a zone that never traditionally they did before; and as a result it incurs a complete change of climate that's now affecting crop rotations; and only specific crop can come from that zone; and now the whole economy of the world has been thrown into chaos because no one's been able to down this boss yet, we can't get the corn we need in order to build the reagents on the alchemical side to create this craft- That's the type of domino effect system or event you want that appears in a natural non-injunction way, but it presents a problem to the players to that they have to accomplish something at least if they want to change it back to the status quo. Those I think are compelling events and those I think are ways that the world can introduce an element of randomness that reflects what we experience in the real world.[26]Steven Sharif

Events are things that happen in Ashes of Creation as the result of development in the world.[26][27] There are several different types of events that are triggered due to certain conditions (predicates) being met.[28][29][24][30] Events are scaled to fit local, regional, and global needs.[31][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.[32]
  • 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.[33][26][34][35][36]
    • 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.[37][38][39]
  • Events that are taken care of successfully have positive consequences and provide rewards based on the contribution of players during the event.[40][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.[37]Steven Sharif
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.[41]Steven Sharif
  • Events have cooldowns in addition to the predicates that are required to trigger them.[41]
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.[42]Steven Sharif
  • If events are not triggered within a certain time period, they could occur randomly.[27]
  • There may be one-off events.[32]

Event-Typen

There are a variety of different types of events that are triggered due to certain conditions (predicates) being met.[28][29][24][30]

Monstermünzen-Events

Monster coin concept art.[24]

Let's say for example you have an event- that is the predicate for this event kicking off was that a raid boss was killed in a nearby dungeon; and it was killed for the 50th time, or it was killed by some particular storyline end or whatever the predicate system is in the world state to say "hey kick this event off". Well, when that event kicks off a number of spawners activate around the node and NPCs start moving towards a node. The node is notified, like "hey there's something happening here, you guys should put up your defenses focus on this thing"; and those with monster coins who are within the area and are not a citizen of the node or an affiliated node can choose to activate the monster coin to become one of the monster types that exist within that event; and that event has a number of targets; and let's say for this particular story arc the thing was we need to find artifacts and better weapons in order to defeat these bosses at the bottom of this dungeon; and a lot of players went through that process they found those weapons and whatnot. Well those things might be stored in three buildings that exist within the node. They might be stored within the armory; they might be stored within the barracks; and they might be stored at a workshop that has access to a workbench that they've chosen to build and that could also potentially serve as a predicate; and when you become the monster those are your three objectives; and you don't need to destroy all three. You potentially just need to destroy one, or you destroy as many as you can if it's a time selected event; and you might have targets that are NPC-related as well, such as the blacksmith that's at the workbench, or the captain of the guard who's at the barracks, or whatever who's at the armory; and you get to go in and you get to kill other players potentially during this who are helping to defend the city; and you can also make it to the objectives and potentially help in destroying the building, or killing the NPCs. That is the type of objectives that would exist within a monster coin system for an event.[53]Steven Sharif

Pre-alpha monster coin system.[54]

Sometimes the disturbed beings could take the form of packs of dire wolves, hordes of zombies roused from their graveyard, or even, rarely, an epic-tier dragon flying out of a volcano once a node reaches its maximum level. In any case, the disturbed monsters have to tackle a series of destructive objectives, which can either be handled by the AI or, more interestingly, by a player. The player in turn would attempt to complete all those actions much as in a multi-objective quest, hopefully before other players brought him or her down.[55]

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.[56][49][50]

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.[24]

Monstermünzen-Events are system spawned events.[49][57]

  • They are structured in a way to prevent groups from gaming the system.[57]
  • 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.[58]
  • Server messages appear for players in the vicinity of these dynamic events.[59]
  • 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.[53]
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.[53]Steven Sharif

Die Uralten are not going to be part of the monster coin system.[62]

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.[63]Steven Sharif

Erzählende Abenteuer

Erzählende Abenteuer will focus on gameplay that reflects the story and won't contain "filler".[8]

What you find in the Narratives category is where you’ll find most of what you might call traditional quests. Because we’re jettisoning filler, we’ll have the resources to craft a really excellent story, with gameplay that reflects the scope of that story.[8]

One of the major goals I feel like we have is to allow player decisions to have consequences and to have meaningful results from the decisions that they make, so it seems like people can really create their own stories.[64]Aimi Watanabe

The world of Verra will be the same on each server, but Nodes will develop differently. Different servers will have different narratives. Things that happen on one server may not happen on another.[65]

We want as many people as possible to experience the main server Narrative. These will branch at different scales, but largely at the personal level. Where things change is at the Node level – different parts of the story will be unlocked based on where and when Nodes grow. Unlocking a part of the story in a certain way locks out progression of the story in a different way. You’ll see different antagonists, different NPCs, and different calls to action depending on what’s happening with the server at that time.[32]

It redefines what the players will experience in an MMORPG to come into a wilderness that is devoid of really any structure outside of what the community creates themselves; and then what can be created can be changed, if they want to experience a storyline that's been seen on another server, but you're fighting a dragon because you're near a mountain and the other server's fighting a Kraken because they're near the coast and you want to fight that Kraken because of its drop table. If you want to meta it or because you just want that under your belt: to be the server first to take out that Kraken and you have yet to develop the node there, it's incumbent upon you to manifest that in the game.[67]Steven Sharif

Handlungsstränge

Frühe Alpha-2 Vorschau der Story Arc UI.[68]

Handlungsstränge sind wie eine vorgefertigte Tabletop-Kampagne. Sie enthalten alle NPCs, Quests und Monster – alles, was Sie für eine coole Fantasy-Geschichte benötigen. Sie werden nicht prozedural generiert ... Wir schreiben alle Dialoge und wir konstruieren alle Erzählimpulse und alles in der Art, aber sie werden dynamisch in die Welt gelangen, je nachdem, in welchem ​​Zustand sich die Welt gerade befindet; wie Spieler bestimmte Knotenpunkte aufgebaut haben, welche Rassen verschiedene Knotenpunkte kontrollieren. Wir planen, darüber hinaus viele verschiedene Dinge einzubauen, aber wir haben in diesem Spiel keine Quest-Hubs oder ähnliches, da die Spieler alle Städte aufbauen. Deshalb mussten wir ein System entwickeln, das beobachtet, was die Spieler tun, und Inhalte in die Welt einbringen kann, die für das, was sie tun, sinnvoll sind.[69]Skott B

The Blood Still Due Der Story Arc wird im The Tower of Carphin freigeschaltet.[70]

Wenn Handlungsstränge online gehen, verändern sie die Umgebung stark. Sie aktualisieren, welche Monster es auf der Welt gibt. Sie erstellen Quest-NPCs ... und dann können sich neue Wege durch die Umgebung eröffnen.[71]Skott B

Handlungsstränge werden durch verschiedene Arten von Spieleraktivitäten auf jedem Server freigeschaltet.[72][70][69][73]

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.[73]Steven Sharif
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.[81]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. [72]
  • Handlungsstränge steuern eine oder mehrere Storyquests im Spiel.[83][84][85][86][76]
    • Handlungsstränge können sich in verschiedene Geschichten mit mehreren möglichen Enden verzweigen, abhängig von den Questzielen, die die Spieler in jedem Kapitel erfüllen.[83][84]
    • ie Entwickler werden versuchen sicherzustellen, dass die Handlungsstränge in zukünftigen Erweiterungen nabhängig von den unterschiedlichen möglichen Ergebnissen auf bestehenden Handlungssträngen aufbauen. [83]
  • 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. [87]
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.[87]Skott B
info-orange.pngEinige der folgenden Informationen wurden nicht kürzlich von den Entwicklern bestätigt und befinden sich möglicherweise nicht auf der aktuellen Entwicklungs-Roadmap.

Bestimmte Story Arcs können über das Bulletin Board System freigeschaltet werden. Für den Zugriff auf Storyquests müssen bestimmte Anforderungen erfüllt sein. [91]

Storyline quests

Story arc quests (Storyline quests/Narrative quests) contain objectives for each chapter of a story arc.[83][84][85][86][76][8]

  • Players can progress each chapter by completing story arc quests within the timeframe that each chapter is active.[85]
    • Phase timers are shown (in the quest UI) to indicate how much real-world time is available to complete the quests in each phase.[84]
    • If the player completes all quests in a particular chapter, they will need to wait until the next chapter to obtain further quests.[43]
  • Story arcs can branch into different stories with multiple possible endings depending on the quest objectives that players complete during each chapter.[83][84][86]
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.[43]Skott B
  • These quests stages can be failed. The ability to retry a failed quest depends on Node-Entwicklung.[86]
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.[86]Steven Sharif

Epic/legendary quests

Episch and Legendary quests affect the narrative of the game.[7] These quests will unlock gated content.[94]

Server Geschichte

info-orange.pngEinige der folgenden Informationen wurden nicht kürzlich von den Entwicklern bestätigt und befinden sich möglicherweise nicht auf der aktuellen Entwicklungs-Roadmap.

Der Verlauf jedes Server wird verfolgt und für Spieler in der Bibliozhrk einer Node sichtbar. [96][97]

  • Dieses Design hat sich möglicherweise geändert.[98]
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?[97]Jeffrey Bard
  • Schreiber können möglicherweise Informationen über die Ereignisse in der Welt sammeln und aufzeichnen, so ihr sie aus eurer Sicht betrachtet.[99]

Tägliche Quests

Tägliche Quests will not be prevalent in Ashes of Creation.[100][101]

We don't really have dailies.[100]Steven Sharif
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.[101]Steven Sharif

Grinding

Repetition (Wiederholung) wird nicht Teil des Leveling-Fortschritts in Ashes of Creation sein.[103]

Völker-spezifische Quests

Einige Aufträge werden in Verbindung mit dem Volk eines Spieler stehen.[105] 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.[105]

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. [105]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. [106]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.[107]

NPC Völker

NPCs werden unterschiedlich auf verschiedene Tags eines Charakters reagieren.[105]

  • Zum Beispiel, Elfen-NPCs können mit Menschen anders interagieren als mit Elfen.

Klassen-spezifische Aufträge

Es wird Klassen-spezifische Aufträge in Ashes of Creation geben.[108]

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.'[108]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.[109]Steven Sharif

Solo quests

Ashes of Creation bietet Gameplay-Optionen für Solospieler.[111]

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.[111]Steven Sharif
  • Bestimmte Questreihen und Jagdgebiete sind Einzelspielern gewidmet.[111][2]
  • Nodebürgerschafen und soziale Organisationen bieten die Möglichkeit, ohne die starken Bindungen zu interagieren, die normalerweise mit gildenorientierten Organisationen einhergehen.[111][112]
  • In größeren Konflikten gibt es Mechanismen, mit denen kleine Gruppen und Einzelspieler Einfluss auf den Kampf nehmen können.[113]
    • Dazu gehören Systeme, die sich wahrscheinlich auf Teilnehmer in Einzelgruppengröße konzentrieren, während der größere Kampf stattfindet.[113]

Voice acting

Ist es schwierig, später Sprachausgabe hinzuzufügen? Nein, das ist es definitiv nicht... Es handelt sich um eine eher kosmetische Änderung. [114]Steven Sharif
Sprachausgabe macht Spaß, ist aber nicht nur kostspielig, sondern erfordert auch viel Logistik. [118]Steven Sharif

Quest driven caravans

System driven caravans (also referred to as Quest driven caravans) are system spawned caravans that are used for trade routes between nodes.[119][120][121]

  • These are initiated by players with a diverse choice of routes and launch windows, making them difficult to zerg.[122]
  • 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).[123]
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.[122]Steven Sharif

Mayoral caravans

Mayoral caravans (also referred to as Trade caravans) are launched by Bürgermeister to obtain needed resources from other nodes.[28][119][120]

  • Players can participate in helping to defend the caravan if they wish.[119]
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.[119]Steven Sharif

Mayoral quests

Template:Mayoral quests

Escort quests

Escort quests will require different movement speeds based on the challenges being faced.[125]

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.[125]Steven Sharif

Quests and reputation

NPCs reagieren - je nach ihren Beiträgen zu der Node - unterschiedlich auf Spieler.[126]

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.[127]

Sammelquests

There will be collection quests.[128]

Sponsoring von Quests

info-orange.pngEinige der folgenden Informationen wurden nicht kürzlich von den Entwicklern bestätigt und befinden sich möglicherweise nicht auf der aktuellen Entwicklungs-Roadmap.

Players can sponsor quests on a bulletin board.[129]

Beseitigen von Spieler-Korruption

Das Hauptheilmittel für Spieler Verderbnis ist der Tod. Es ist möglich, dass das vollständige Entfernen der Verderbnis mehrere Tode benötigt.[131][132]

  • Erfahrungspunkte reduzieren die Verderbnispunkte eines Spielers auch langsam.[131]
    Dies führt zu einer lustigen Erfahrung für Kopfgeldjäger, während sie dich versuchen zu fangen während du die Verderbnis abarbeitest.[131]Steven Sharif

Adaptive Inhalte

pasted image at 2017 10 26 07 13 pm.png

Neue Points of Interest (wie z.B. Dungeon und World Bosse) spawnen, wenn sich Nodes entwicklen.[134] Dieser Content passt sich an die Entwicklung der Zone an, in der er sich befindet.[135]

  • Die Population wird sich verändern.[135]
  • Die Schwierigkeit des Contents wird sich ändern.[135]
  • Der Content ändert sich vielleicht Grundlegend, abhängig davon, was sich wie entwickelt.[135]
  • Verschiedene Arten von Antagonisten mit verschiedenen Storylines.[135]
  • Manche Dungeons werden nur freigeschaltet, wenn sich Nodes zu einer bestimmten Stufe entwickeln.[8]
  • Die Ziele einer Storyline innerhalb von Dungeons hängen davon ab, welche Story Arcs durch das Node System gewählt wurden.[8]
  • Drop Tables in Gebieten und Dungeons werden in die Fortschritt von bestimmten Gebieten eingebunden sein.[8]

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 scientific 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.[8]

Zonen und Entwicklung

Dungeon, Schlachtzüge, Weltbosse, Mobs, Aufträge, Events, Ressorcen, Storys und andere Inhalte innerhalb der ZOI einer Node haben eine unterschiedliche Level-Reihe; wird aber mit det Weiterentwicklung dieser Node und seinem rassischen Einfluss skalieren.[136][137][138]

  • Teile der Spawn-Tabellen (für Mobs und Ressourcen) sind statisch und andere Teile sind dynamisch und passen sich der Knotenentwicklung an. [139]
Wir haben keine reine Level-25-Zone. Stattdessen könnte es in dieser Zone einige Kreaturen der Stufe 10 in der Nähe der Straße, einige Kreaturen der Stufe 20 tief im Wald und einige Kreaturen der Stufe 30 oben auf dem Berg geben. Diese Verhältnisse ändern sich abhängig von der Node, die euch informieren, und werden im Allgemeinen gefährlicher, wenn die Node wächst. Diese ganze Zivilisation zieht die Aufmerksamkeit von Dingen auf sich, die nicht sein sollten. Dies bedeutet keineswegs, dass Wildnisgebiete sicher sind. Einige mögen sicherer sein, aber alle bergen Gefahren, vor denen selbst der erfahrenste Reisende auf der Hut sein muss.[32]Steven Sharif

Überlieferungen

Ashes of Creation logo.[140]

Ashes of Creation ist ein direkter Bezug zur Handlung. Ohne zu viel zu verraten, wird der Phönix in der ersten Phase der Handlung ein dauerhaftes Symbol sein, und die Welt, in der die Spieler leben werden, ist eine lange verlorene Welt, die verheerende Katastrophen erlitten hat.[141]Jeffrey Bard

Der Phönix ist der himmlische Avatar der Göttin der Schöpfung. Ihr Opfer schützte die Menschen von Verra während der Apokalypse.[142]Steven Sharif

Es gibt verschiedene Teile der Geschichte in Ashes of Creation.[76]

Es geht um Mythologie und darum, herauszufinden, über welche Wahrheiten Mythologien sprechen, und herauszufinden, was vor so langer Zeit wirklich auf dieser Welt passiert ist; und das ist Teil dieses Entdeckungsprozesses; Und wir möchten, dass die Spieler dies im gesamten Spiel spüren, nicht nur in Bezug auf die Hintergrundgeschichte, sondern auch in Bezug auf die Welt selbst. [143]Jeffrey Bard

Handlungsstränge steuern eine oder mehrere Storyquests im Spiel.[83][84][85][86][76] Handlungsstränge verzweigen sich in verschiedene Geschichten mit mehreren möglichen Enden, abhängig von den Questzielen, die die Spieler in jedem Kapitel erfüllen.[83][84][86]

Wir legen großen Wert auf die Überlieferungen, und der Grund dafür ist, dass sie sehr reichhaltig sind. Es ist vielfältig. Es wird Anwendungen außerhalb des MMORPGs geben. Wir beabsichtigen, es noch weiter voranzutreiben, aber ich möchte, dass es etwas ist, bei dem sich die Spieler offenbaren können, das ihnen nicht einfach ausgehändigt wird und dann das Erlebnis verloren geht. Wenn sie dies erleben, sollen sie das Gefühl haben, dass es sie auf einer persönlichen Ebene betrifft.[145]Steven Sharif
