The Node system facilitates the generation of new PvE content such as هلئسا, تالمعلا شحولا, تانازنزلا and تاراغلا.[1]
PvE boss mechanics
Ashes of Creation utilizes an adaptive AI, which means that different encounters with similar creatures will yield different player experiences.[2]
- Utilizing new AI technology that hasn't been seen in other MMORPG projects.[3]
ةعومجملا تايمانيد
ةعومجملا تايمانيد aim to bring players together.[5]
- One of the main philosophical pillars behind our design was that PvE must be impactful and inclusive. We want solo players, small groups and large groups to all have a home within our system.[6]
- Ashes of Creation is in development. These systems could change through playtesting and player feedback.[5]
Group sizes
Ashes of Creation is designed for solo players as well as large and small groups.[8][9][10]
- The idea behind an 8-person group is to allow us to really amplify party roles, and to create a need for each of the archetypes in every party.[5]
- تاراغلا will have 40 man groups.[11]
- Content will be tailored for 40, 16 and 8 person group sizes.[12]
- تاحاسلا will have 1 man, 3 man, 5 man and possibly 20 man Free-For-All (Deathmatch) group sizes.[13]
- راصحلا هعلق are expected to have at minimum 250x250 players to be on a single battlefield, with the possibility of increasing this to 500x500 over time.[15][16][17][18]
- The minimum goal is 500 players on a single battlefield. I think we will be able to hit 500vs500 but we shall see.[18] – Steven Sharif
Looting rules
Ashes of Creation intends to use traditional loot rules, selected by the party or raid leader.[21][22][5]
- Group loot rules are defined on a per-rarity basis.[19]
- A majority of party members must vote to approve any changes to group loot allocation changes.[20]
- The developers are considering using a double-tap interaction to loot all containers within a close proximity radius.[23]
- There won't be auto-looting pets.[24]
- It will be possible to kick a player from a party prior to them acquiring loot.[25]
- 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.[25] – Steven Sharif
- Free-for-all.[5]
- Whoever is first to loot gets the loot.[21]
- 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.[5]
- With round-robin looting, party members take turns looting.[5]
- This is a traditional need before greed system based on dice rolls.[5]
- 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.[26]
- Bidding system.[5]
- Intrepid are investigating a potential bidding system, which allows players to bid on items instead of rolling for them.[5]
Party roles
Ashes of Creation has the traditional trinity of Tank, DPS (damage dealers) and Support (healer or non-healer) roles.[27][5][28]
- We have our eight base archetypes; and the trinity is a pretty strong influence with regards to the eight base classes. However the area in which we actually begin to play with that line between the trinity is in the secondary classes that you can pick. That's where we begin to blend those spaces and allow people a little bit of influence over their role and whether or not they fit perfectly within a particular category within the trinity.[29] – Steven Sharif
- Although traditional roles are present, players should not feel branded by their primary archetype.[5][28]
- Skill augments available through the class system allow characters to be personalized outside of their primary role.[5][28][29]
- Players can also double down on their archetype choice to strengthen their primary role.[5][28]
PvX
Ashes of Creation is a PvX game. Players will naturally encounter both pvP and PvE elements.[32][31][33][34] It is unlikely that a player could purely focus on just pvP or just PvE.[31][30][33][34]
- Ashes is a PvX game; and so in that regard, your ability to wholesale disconnect from the PvP elements of the game are likely not going to be entirely successful. Now, does that mean that you can reduce your exposure to PvP? A hundred percent; and there are multiple play paths and progression points that players can elect instead to be more PvE focused, but by the sheer nature of risk-versus-reward, and risk including not being able to predict how other players might impact your gameplay, that is an element of the innate risk that exists in the multiplayer environment of a PvX setting. So, not everybody is going to like that and we accept that; and we're not trying to build a game that everybody is going to like, because everybody it's doing that is not going to be successful, because there're just people with different interests; and you know we accept that and we're very on the nose about what we're trying to achieve. The idea is not to create a gank fest, is not to create a grief fest. That is not what PvX is; and so because of that we have certain mechanisms and systems that govern the way players engage in PvP and the majority of those are opt-in, but there is always that element of risk that's governed by the flagging system. And so, if you're interested in that I would take a look at the Wiki and look up what flagging is, and look up what corruption is. My experience tells me- and my expectations of the system are that they will signal significantly reduce a player's exposure to non-consensual PvP, but that risk is always going to be present to some degree.[32] – Steven Sharif
- A defining principle of Ashes of Creation as a PvX game is that PvE builds the world, and pvP changes the world.[35]
- Around 80% of the content is open-world, where healthy competition is an instigator for player friction; for potential cooperation; for the ability to yield alliances; and the political theater that comes with it. This is an intended part of the PvX game design.[36][37][38][39][40]
- There won't be separate PvE and PvP servers but some servers may be more PvP focused than others.[32][33][41]
- We're very clear with our objective and philosophy on the game and we understand that they may not appeal to everybody. But it is an important reciprocal relationship between the content that's related to PvE and the content that's related to PvP and they feed off of each other. They're catalysts for change: Their progression, their development. It's things that people can value when they see something earned and they see something lost. That elicits an emotional response from the player: That they've invested time in to either succeed or fail; and PvP allows for that element to be introduced into gameplay. And we're very clear that is our objective: That risk versus reward relationship, that achievement-based mentality. Not everybody's going to be a winner and that's okay.[40] – Steven Sharif
- There will not be different PvP and PvE gear types.[43]
