Clases

Ashes of Creation class list. Primary archetype is on the left. Secondary archetype is on the top.

• Un jugador elige su arquetipo al principio del juego.
  • Un jugador no puede cambiar su arquetipo principal.

• Los jugadores reciben puntos de habilidad a medida que levelean. Estos pueden ser usados para subir de nivel sus habilidades en su árbol de habilidades.
  • No será posible subir de nivel todas las habilidades del árbol de habilidades.

• Un jugador deberá elegir un arquetipo secundario cuando alcance nivel 25. La combinación de los arquetipos primario y secundario son conocidas como clases.
  • El segundo arquetipo no otorga habilidades adicionales.
  • El segundo arquetipo se podrá cambiar, pero no "al vuelo".

• El jugador puede entonces aumentar sus habilidades primarias con los efectos de su arquetipo secundario.
  • Cada habilidad en el árbol de habilidades tendrá diferentes opciones de aumento del árbol secundario. Este es un ejemplo de progresión horizontal.
  • Los aumentos en las habilidades principales pueden básicamente cambiar la forma en la que funcionan - adaptando lo que la habilidad hacía, para incorporar la identidad del arquetipo/clase secundaria.

Si un luchador eligiese ser mago como arquetipo secundario, el luchador se convertiría en "Spellsword". Ésta combinación crea aumentos que pueden ser aplicados en habilidades de su árbol de habilidades primario. Los luchadores tienen la habilidad Embestida que les permite embestir a sus objetivos; y una vez los alcanzan, infligirles una cierta cantidad de daño con una posibilidad de derribarlos. Un aumento en destello puede ser aplicado a la habilidad embestida, lo que teleportará al jugador al objetivo; eliminando así el tiempo de la carga de la habilidad.

La progresión de clase no tiene nada que ver con la progresión de artesanía del jugador.

Los eventos del mundo no afectan directamente a la eficacioa de la clase pero puede haber efectos secundarios en términos de disponibilidad de equipo, encantamientos o tatuajes.

Balance

Esta traducción puede estar desactualizada.

El equilibrio en Ashes of Creation está enfocado en el grupo, y no en el combate 1vs1"

• Los enfrentamientos 1 contra 1 tendrán una dinámica tipo piedra, papel y tijera, donde una clase será superior a la otra.

There will be match ups in 1v1s where one class will be superior to another; and that application should be a rock-paper-scissors dynamic. We want there to be counter-play between the different classes... Instead it's going to be a group focused balance, where as long as you have the diversity of classes present, that's going to be an equal level playing field. It's going to be very dependent on skill and strategy. – Steven Sharif

• A la hora de equilibrar las habilidades de combate entran en juego varios factores.

Balance-wise, there's a number of different interactions mechanically that you have within an ability that you can adjust in order to balance its power. The most most common ones are: Cooldown, Mana consumption, Damage done, Effect status conferred, Promotion of that effect status, Range. – Steven Sharif

• El testing de la Alpha 1 se centró en la funcionalidad principal en lugar del equilibrio de combate.
• Las pruebas en la Alpha 2 comenzarán a centrarse en el equilibrio una vez que las poblaciones y los conflictos estén funcionando y muy probados.

When we move into Alpha 2 and we have a lot of data that's supporting the use of these particular abilities in combat settings, how often they're used, how often they result in death, what the average damage done by this archetype is comparatively to other damage done by different archetypes: All of that data gets logged and all of that data gets queried in order for us to refine the abilities so that they live in the environment we want them to. Now, that's not to mean that we're going to have a perfect balance across the board between the archetypes. Again, we're taking a rock-paper-scissor approach to balance, which means that some archetypes will do better against other archetypes and vice versa; and we're also not creating an environment where we want to have 1v1 balance. We are focused around group balance. Group composition is important. – Steven Sharif

Las sesenta y cuatro (64) clases están divididas en ocho arquetipos primarios. El equilibrio de las habilidades activas solo hace referencia a estos ocho arquetipos primarios.

• Hay cuatro grupos primarios de aumentos asignados a cada arquetipo base. El equilibrio de estos aumentos hace referencia a los cuatro grupos de aumentos para cada uno de los ocho arquetipos.

Parte de la siguiente información no ha sido confirmada recientemente por los desarrolladores y es posible que no esté en la hoja de ruta de desarrollo actual.

Ciertos arquetipos secundarios son capaces de reducir las diferencias frente a sus "counters".

Even though augments do radically change the way your active skills provide you abilities, there's still a primary focus on the base archetype itself and not the 64 whole classes. – Steven Sharif

Certain archetypes are capable of moving the gap between their counterpart per-se. If I am a Tank archetype and a Mage is my counter, I can take a Mage secondary and bridge the divide slightly; and then move my identity that direction ever so slightly. – Steven Sharif

Habilidades de clase

Alpha-1 preview primary skills.

If from the eight archetypes whatever you choose as your secondary, you're going to receive a choice of augments that relate to some core ideal of that class. You know like a tank is about controlling the battlefield, is about surviving. The mage is about dealing damage and elements and ability in AoEs. The rogue is going to be about stealth and critical damage. So those augments are going to to play towards those identities. – Steven Sharif

The idea behind the system is that you're skirting the line through these augmentations of your role, right. We have the traditional holy trinity that's present in class designs for MMOs and it's often that those either are not deviated at all or completely deviated from entirely. The augment is to offer a balance between that where you still maintain the semblance of that trinity system while offering the opportunity to customize your play experience towards one of the other angles in the triangle. – Steven Sharif

Habilidades primarias (class abilities) are based on a player's archetype.

• A player may choose a secondary archetype when they reach level 25. The player can then augment their primary skills with effects from their secondary archetype.

• Outside of class-specific skills there may be a subset of universal skills, such as active block and dodge.
• Class skills are not affected by the type of weapon that is equipped.

• Habilidades primarias in Alpha-2 are expected to be very different to those in Alpha-1.

Las invocaciones de grupo son activadas por un líder de grupo con esa habilidad en su kit de clase junto con componentes adicionales de otras clases que formen parte del grupo.

Parte de la siguiente información no ha sido confirmada recientemente por los desarrolladores y es posible que no esté en la hoja de ruta de desarrollo actual.

Hasta ocho jugadores con el mismo arquetipo primario pueden unirse para crear invocaciones de asedio durante un asedio.

• Los jugadores deberán estar en el mismo grupo o raid.

These are the types of systems that we want to put in place where groups of a single primary archetype can come together to summon these types of effects that play off of what the identity of that archetype is. – Steven Sharif

Cambio de arquetipos

Primario

The primary archetype (of a class) cannot be changed.

When players choose their primary class, it’s not just dictating how the next several hundred hours of gameplay will go... It’s only the primary class that cannot be changed. And hey, that’s what alts are for!

Secundario

Secondary archetype of a class may be changed, but not "on-the-fly".

• This may be done through a quest system.
• Players will likely need to speak to a NPC in a Aldea node or above to enable them to change their secondary archetype and skill augments.

The secondary class choice, which comes after some time getting used to the world of Verra, will be more fluid. If you choose the Fighter and the Rogue to make a Shadowblade, but eventually want to try your hand at Summoning to make a Bladecaller, you’ll be able to do so.

We don't want you to be able to change your secondary class or the augments you have applied out in the open. We want you to have to make a conscious choice somewhere at a NPC. The level of node necessary for that particular NPC to be available will likely be either at the Village stage or above. So, if you are far out in the wilderness exploring – and we have no instant teleportation in the world – you need to be conscientious of what your choices are; and not be able to change them on-the-fly. – Steven Sharif

Pruebas de clase

There will not be a class trial system in Ashes of Creation.

Habilidades raciales

Esta traducción puede estar desactualizada.

Cada raza tiene estadísticas base diferentes

• Las razas no tienen bloqueos de género ni de clase.
• Algunas clases podrían funcionar mejor con ciertas razas, pero nada es obligatorio.

La raza elegida por un jugador influirá en sus habilidades raciales.

You'll have racial augments that are capable of being applied to active skills and those augments are going to be a reflection of the flavor of that specific race. In addition, races will have differing degrees of stats and our game in our class system relies on certain stats to achieve different metrics in the game when it comes to damage, defense, and landing rates and all that stuff. – Steven Sharif

Aumento de estadísticas

Parte de la siguiente información no ha sido confirmada recientemente por los desarrolladores y es posible que no esté en la hoja de ruta de desarrollo actual.

El aumento de estadísticas lleva el siguiente orden.

1. La raza proporciona las estadísticas base de un jugador.
2. El arquetipo primario aumenta las estadísticas base.
3. El arquetipo secundario (clase) no hace que las estadísticas aumenten. Esto es un repaso de la declaración anterior.

Different races have different stat compositions. Those stats can be important, but we also don't want them to dictate any meta for what classes are best used with different races. – Steven Sharif

La elección de una profesión no afecta a las estadísticas de un jugador.

El equipo tiene aproximadamente un 40-50% de influencia en el poder total de un jugador en el juego.

Roles

Esta traducción puede estar desactualizada.

Ashes of Creation utiliza el tradicional sistema de la trinidad con los roles de Tanque, DPS y Soporte.

• Aunque los papeles tradicionales están presentes, los jugadores no deberían sentirse encasillados por su arquetipo primario.
• Los aumentos de habilidad disponibles a través del sistema de clases permitirán a los jugadores personalizar su estilo de juego fuera de su rol primario.
• Los jugadores que elijan en mismo arquetipo dos veces, fortalecerán su rol primario.

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. – Steven Sharif

Armas y armaduras

Las armas y armaduras no estan limitadas por tu clase, pero ciertas clases son mas eficientes con ciertos tipos de armas o armaduras. Ciertas habilidades requieren que ciertos objetos estén equipados.

• Armas a distancia.
• Escudos.
• Armas a dos manos.

Las armas están diseñadas para ser "agnósticas" de cierta manera, en el sentido que el jugador puede hallar la forma en la que un arma sea utilizada por diferentes clases. No sólo el pícaro será capaz de usar dagas. Porque si aplicas este tipo de restricciones, se hace más difícil que la economía tenga una buena sostentabilidad a través del mercado de objetos. – Steven Sharif

P: Habíamos declarado que íbamos a permitir que las personas usaran cualquier combinación de clases, que serían ambos arquetipos juntos, pudiendo usar cualquier arma. ¿Vemos problemas que podrían ocurrir con eso, por ejemplo, como un bow tank (tanque que use un arco), un orb tank (tanque que usa un orbe) o cosas similares- habrá alguna extrañeza allí, o hay problemas que primero están previendo en el futuro?

R: Estamos dando mucha flexibilidad a los artesanos en nuestro juego. Ayudan a definir el bloque de estadísticas que tiene un objeto, arma o equipo en particular; y ese bloque de estadísticas puede ser relevante para cualquier combinación de clase o arquetipo en particular. Entonces, en ese sentido, la idea es no ver ninguna extrañeza allí o no ver ningún elemento que disuada a una persona de esa perspectiva de personalización. – Steven Sharif

PvX

Esta traducción puede estar desactualizada.

We like to really refer to ourselves as a PvX game, because in those systems of PvP, PvE, crafting they're all intertwined: They're interdependent on each other... Our system of development really requires some interdependence there between those things. You're going to need a crafter to give you the best items. You're going to need PvPers to secure cities and castles. You're gonna need PvErs to take down those world bosses for those materials to craft. – Steven Sharif

Ashes is a comprehensive game. It is not a PvP focused or a PvE focused, it is a comprehensive PvX game and as a result these systems are all interconnected and have to coexist with one another with certain types of mechanisms that can provide that give and take, that push and shove. – Steven Sharif

Ashes of Creation es un juego PvX.Los jugadores se encontrarán con elementos tanto de Pvp como de PvE. Es poco probable que un jugador pueda enfocarse solamente en Pvp o solamente en PvE.

• Hay un equilibrio entre Pvp y PvE en Ashes of Creation.
• Todas las estadísticas relacionadas con la efectividad en el combate en PvX.* Algunos servidores podrían estar más enfocados al Pvp que otros.
• No habrá servidores de PvE y Pvp pero algunos servidores estarán más enfocados al PVP.
• No habrá distinción entre el equipo de Pvp y el de PvE .
• La progresión del juego podría requerir elementos de PvE.

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. – Steven Sharif

Alpha-0

Alpha-0, ropas de civil por Keith Kovach.

No había pantalla funcional de creación de personaje durante el Alpha-0, pero había varias opciones para que los jugadores escogieran:

• Cuatro arquetipos disponibles: Clérigo, Mago, Ranger y Tanque.
  • Los otros cuatro arquetipos están planeados para el Alpha-1.
• Dos razas disponibles: Kaelar y Empyrean.
• Selección de género.

Alpha-1

Alpha-1 Teaser.

This is a true development alpha. This is not a marketing alpha; and what that means is as you know part of the process here in developing Ashes of Creation is being open with that development so you guys can see that progress; and it is a double-edged sword. There are going to be a spectrum of people that exists who are very involved with the game's development and those who are just completely at an arm's length away in understanding the process; and they may look at alpha one- the people who don't really understand the development process or haven't been a part of it- they may look at it and they may think oh you know this is trash, looks like trash, you know whatever it's the end-product. But at the end of the day what's important for us and what yields the best possible product is for us to include as much as possible the community in that development process with no NDA so that you guys give valuable feedback; and as we go through the iterative process in further defining the game and fleshing out that content were doing so with the player in mind and their voice in our ear. That is I think one of the key distinguishing factors between our development and many developments that you guys may have seen in the past. – Steven Sharif

Alpha-1 preview ancients mobs.

What this experience for Alpha one is going to be- that month-long experience- it is not intended to be a content experience... It is not intended to be a game experience. It is not intended to be a fully-fledged content experience. So keep that in mind. – Steven Sharif

Alpha-1 PvE combat.

Alpha-1 was a testing release of the Ashes of Creation MMORPG.

• World
  • The Alpha-1 map (Alpha island) consists of a mainland area and several islands. This was approximately 70 km² of playable area.
  • Alpha-1 takes place in the north west part of the map.

• Personaje
  • Progresión to level 15.

    The composition of class skills or archetype skills has to tread a fine line between two roads: One we wanted to be representative of skills not just that would traditionally be found 1 through 15 but we're actually introducing some skills that might be found later, because we want to test those particular ideas and how the skill functions. – Steven Sharif

  • Creador de personajes (basic).

• Arquetipos
  • Clérigo, Mago and Tanque archetypes.
  • Ranger may be added later in Alpha-1.
  • Luchador, Bardo, Pícaro, and Invocador archetypes will follow in later in development (after Alpha-1).
  • Secondary archetypes will not be present in Alpha-1. These are planned for Alpha-2.

• Razas
  • 4 playable races Kaelar, Vaelune, Dünir, Empyrean.

    A lot of times people ask well why haven't we seen the other races and stuff? We want to establish the quality bar and process with these races first and then when we move into further content production for the other races we have have those pipelines in place and we have the processes in place and we know how to approach them.

• Combate
  • Hybrid action/tab combat.
  • Revamped combat systems will be rolled out during and post Alpha-1 testing.

The weapon attack is an important component of the combat system, so we want to make sure that as we're doing this combat revamp that we are essentially taking into consideration player feedback and sentiment about how they want a reactive and more mobile weapon attack system. – Steven Sharif

• Nodos
  • Avance del nodo to Aldea (fase 3).
  • There are 9 node locations in Alpha-1.
  • Normally there would be 18-20 nodes in the same area.
  • A basic vassal system is in place.
  • The node ZOI's is larger than the final map.
  • Node locations are subject to change prior to Beta-1.

• Economía
  • The economy present in Alpha-1 is not reflective of the final state of the game.
  • Merchant systems and player to player trading.

    We have an economy but it's not really going to be reflective of the final how the economy is going to work. It'll work for alpha one and there'll be plenty of things to trade and buy and exchange, but it's not going to be really super representative what the final state is. So keep that in mind as well it's a stubbed-in system. It's not a complete or really finalized system at all. – Jeffrey Bard

  • Approximately 10 percent of the artisan system.
    • The core basics of the artisan gameplay loop is facilitated via the merchant (NPC) system.
  • Recolección, Procesado, Elaboración (Crafting) is expected to come online in Alpha-2 and the Betas.
  • Previously this was targeted for Alpha-1.

    What's present in Alpha-1 doesn't even really scratch the surface for crafting. – Steven Sharif

• Equipo
  • Approximately 49 unique gear sets.
  • These are unique sets with different stats, but some may be similar in appearance.
  • Daggers (Dual weapons).

• PvE
  • Approximately 6 or 7 dungeons with one almost raid-level difficulty.
  • Two world bosses requiring party-sized groups.
  • One true 40 person raid boss.
  • Over 200 quests.
  • Questing is placeholder until Alpha-2.

• Gremios.
  • Alpha-1 castle sieges and Castles are in a zone accessible via a NPC teleporter.
  • This zone includes three Elder dragon raid bosses.
  • These bosses also appear in the open world (outside the siege zone) with slightly different mechanics.

• Naval content
• Naves for "island hopping".
  • Temporary teleportation points are present in early tests until ships are introduced later in the alpha testing.

• Other
  • There is no instancing in Alpha-1.
• UI and tutorial systems are placeholders until Alpha-2.
