Weapon abilities

Work-in-progress Alpha-2 basic weapon attack combos.

En Ashes of Creation se emplea un sistema de combos de armas (también llamado Combo system, y habilidades de uso de armas) en lugar de la habilidad clásica de auto-ataque .

• El sistema de combos consiste en una secuencia de animaciones de combate basadas en el tipo de arma, denominada montaje de animación de combate.
  • Los combos se activan realizando ataques básicos con armas (por defecto Q o clic con el botón izquierdo del ratón).

Let's say for example you're using a two-handed warhammer or something and you have a number of weapon combos that play animation style based on how many combos deep you go into an attack with that warhammer. So the first is going to be like a forward swing. Second is going to be a back swing. The third is going to be swing down and the fourth is going to be some twirl that you do; and that's what we call the combo animation montage. – Steven Sharif

• Este sistema se integra en gran medida con los árboles de habilidades de las armas, previstos para la Alpha-2 y posteriores.

The way that the weapon skill tree works is that at different stages of that combat montage you have available procs that can occur. The first swing might be a small stagger that decreases your opponent's accuracy by 15, that could be a proc that you could that you could spec into that decrease in accuracy- might be a status condition called stagger or bewildered or whatever- and that might exist for three or four seconds. Your second option from a skill tree perspective might be on the swing back. You have some type of tapering slow effect that lasts over three seconds- some type of tapering snare; and then the third step strike down might be some potential one second stun status modifier; and each of these you can spec into additional points to increase the chance that these proc. – Steven Sharif

• Dependiendo de la habilidad de clase elegida, estos efectos tendrán efectos combinados con el montaje de combate.

Depending on what your class skill choice has been those are going to have synergy effects with the weapon skill tree. So my skill called spin-to-win might do 30 additional damage on a staggered target. So I see when my proc occurs with the stagger effect on my first swing, like for me as a player I might be only interested in landing that first swing, so every now and then I'm gonna swing once and then I'm gonna use a skill and then I'm gonna come back and swing again because that'll play my first swing montage, because it's been interrupted. So I won't move to the second one because I'm really just wanna hit that stagger effect. So that's going to be how my rotation lines up. However I might have some skill that on a stun target it might be an immediate cast and it's like some power you push or power hit; and that does- it knocks back a stun target. So if the target's stunned when this skill plays, it has an added effect of knock down and now they're gonna get knocked down for an additional two seconds. Now I might spec into that and as a result I want to finish through: swing, swing, and then knock down. So I get my chance at stunning that target with that weapon skill. – Steven Sharif

• La progresión de armas, como las bonificaciones de set, pueden cambiar el nivel en el que se producen los efectos de proc y, por tanto, permitir diferentes rotaciones de combo.

You may have items or set bonuses that change at what level those proc occurs. So I may have a full set of battle armor that changes all third hit combo procs to second hit requirements and now I have a chance not only on my second hit to land that tapering slow but I also have a chance to land my one second stun proc because I have the full set that changes my weapon progression. So that's the way itemization works with your weapon skill tree, is you can enhance when those weapon skill trees become available in your combat montage and that can be a relevant factor in how your skill rotations come to play; and mixes with your weapon attacks.

• La elección y rotación de las habilidades de las armas variará en función de si el jugador está más centrado en Pvp o en PvE.

Right now some people might just say, "I don't care at all about my weapon attacks. I'm not going to invest a lot of points into that. And if I do, it's going to be primarily PvE focused where I'm more comfortable using just swinging my weapon, and I may not use them as much in PvP. I'm just going to be focused on skill rotations." That's okay, but the reason for those skill montages- back to your question- is they have a very relevant role in when certain procs come online from a weapons skill tree perspective. – Steven Sharif

• Usar una habilidad que no sea un ataque básico reiniciará el combo por norma general.
  • Los desarrolladores están considerando la posibilidad de usar habilidades específicas sin reiniciar el sistema de combo.

It acts similar in the sense of the core loop of what an auto attack is so to speak; where typically your other skills have a cooldown period, they have a rotation or whatever: Our combo system is a repeatable skill effect that you can continually attack with but it's a little bit more involved than what a traditional auto attack is; and it has components from a from an advancement standpoint when it comes to the types of procs that your weapon can have during that combo system... It's not going to have the quick time event that you guys saw early on in PAX and gave great feedback on, but it is going to have development with regards to the power of the weapon the type of weapon you're using, the additional proc effects that you can skill into: Those types of things are going to make it a little bit more complex of a system capture. – Steven Sharif

Hay una diferencia clara entre las armas cuerpo a cuerpo y las armas a distancia.

Ranged weapons

Alpha-2 bows 3D renders.

A character may equip up to two hand weapons and also wear a ranged weapon on their back.

• Characters performing ranged abilities will switch to the ranged weapon, then can switch back to the melee weapon and shield or two-handed melee weapon.
• There will be a setting to determine if the ranged weapon or main/offhand is the primary weapon to use for Q or left-mouse-button basic attacks.
• Rangers do not have a minimum distance requirement for using their ranged weapons. Previously rangers were intended to have a minimum distance requirement.
  • Instead of a minimum range requirement, certain Ranger skills, such as Thundering Shot, currently have variable effects conferred at different ranges.
• Some Habilidades del ranger require a bow to be equipped.

Melee weapons

Low-level shield, one-handed mace, and two-handed staff 3D renders from Alpha-2.

You can see by the quality of these types of weapons: these are relatively lower level. These are some of the earliest types of weapons and or gear that you can acquire within Ashes of Creation. – Steven Sharif

Melee weapons and abilities have a maximum range of effect.

• There are two melee weapon slots: One on each side of a character's belt.

Progresión de armas

Esta traducción puede estar desactualizada.

In-game achievable sword and polearm 3D renders.

Power creep is a balance issue... When it comes to gear progression specifically, the idea is to create an open market that is not heavily dependent on soulbound items; and having many item sinks and gold sinks within that economy that allows for the potential degradation and loss of assets within that closed economy; and not introduce items from the market that companies put in from a pay-to-win perspective or from a pay-to-convenience perspective that undermines the economy that players have built. That is a huge mistake that companies have made in the past and that lends to the imbalancing of what designers maybe have actually balanced well. – Steven Sharif

Las armas tienen su propio progreso.

• Cada tipo de arma tiene su propio árbol de habilidades que ofrece habilidades pasivas y procs así como efectos de estado.
• El sistema combinado de las armas determinan los efectos especiales que se activan en función de la progresión del arma.
• Procs de efectos secundarios basados en los tipos de encantamientos.
• Se pueden aplicar mejoras de equipos (piedras de poder) para añadir daño de tipo elemental o de energía.
• Las armas duales tendrán su propia progresión según el tipo de arma.
• El "dominio" de las armas (basado en el uso continuado de la misma) no es una característica planificada.

Q: Are weapons balanced towards a proficiency system (i.e. the longer I use a sword, the better my damage will be), or will it be a normal RPG stat system with no long-term scaling?

A: We will not be using a proficiency system as described, but players will have passives available in their skill tree that will increase effectiveness of certain weapons. Becoming a master of swords will be something that is possible, just not in that particular manner. – Sarah Flanagan

Ashes of Creation is all about providing many progression paths... The reason why we don't like the term endgame is because with the amount of progression that's available with the amount of diversity and player agency that impacts the world... We want the weapon system [to] add an element of that as well... You can determine special effects that proc from currently the combo system; you can determine ancillary effects that proc based on enchantment types; you can power stone weapons to add different either elemental types of damage and/or energy that play rock-paper-scissor with player defenses ... and then you can skill tree out how those effects that are granted ... you can make them better you can branch them off into a different direction. – Steven Sharif

Objetos legendarios

Hay una pequeña probabilidad (RNG) de saquear objetos raros y legendarios o materiales de artesanía (crafting) de los enemigos en función del nivel, el estado y el tipo de enemigo. Esto también se aplica a la obtención de recursos con una profesión de recolección.

• Hay muchas más probabilidades de que caigan materiales y recetas únicas que puedan usarse para fabricar objetos de valor equitativo.
• El equipo legendario solo se obtiene de los jefes de mundo legendarios.
  • El equipo legendario tendrá una mejora aproximada de entre el 6 y el 12% en las estadísticas básicas, sujeta a pruebas y equilibrado..

At each stage from Gatherer to Processor to Crafter you are required to have certain prerequisites before those elite types of materials can be essentially gathered, processed, or crafted. – Steven Sharif

• Los recolectores deben tener herramientas de alta calidad para recolectar recursos raros .
• Los procesadores deben tener edificios de procesamiento de alto nivel en sus parcelas (freehold) para producir materiales raros.
• Los artesanos también deben cumplir ciertos requisitos para fabricar equipo legendario .

The amount of effort needed and interdependencies across the different types of players – between raiders and PvPers and crafters and even role players and the taverns and businesses: the processors and gatherers – all of those systems will likely have a component that lends toward creating or crafting that legendary item... We want to stay away from the highly RNGd system, and instead take our multiple progression paths that we are offering the players and put the construction components for achieving these legendary items within them so it encourages communities to work together because it's going to be difficult for just one person by themselves to gather everything. Not to say that they couldn't in an economic sense, by buying those components, that's possible. But achieving them from a time investment standpoint we want it to be considerably less RNG focussed. – Steven Sharif

Algunos objetos legendarios pueden estar limitados a uno por servidor en todo momento.

• Si el personaje del jugador abandona el servidor, el objeto volverá a estar disponible para su adquisición a través de cualquier medio por el que se adquirió anteriormente.

There are absolutely legendary items and they're not items that are attained easily nor are they granted out in a volume. There might even be items that are single items that will exist on the server at any given time.

Un arma legendaria se distingue facilmente por su estética visual.

It will be a very ornate and detailed weapon, more so than any other weapon or piece of equipment in the game. It will also include some awesome looking effects that won't too gaudy, they won't be too bright and shiny so that it doesn't look good, but they will be subtle and people will notice it and know wow that guy has this weapon. – Steven Sharif

Los objetos legendarios no están diseñados para ser temporales.

• Una excepción destacable son las monturas reales.

The fact there is only one of them... or very very few of them depending on what it is. I think that in and of itself is a balance component right and you need to make sure that the players who are striving for those legendary things and who are devoting the time energy, resources in order to achieve them are accurately rewarded... We do not intend on having legendary items that are temporary. – Steven Sharif

El descubrimiento de objetos legendarios desbloqueará más capítulos del Lore.

Gear sets

2nd Sword Division non-cosmetic gear set 3D renders. 3D model by Keith Kovach.

Not all armor sets will be the cookie cutter set. They will have the influences from the crafter available in it, if it's a crafted set. – Steven Sharif

Equipping the Titanbark gear set in Alpha-2.

We're going relatively traditional in the gear access points by being driven by level tier that players will have access to. So as you advance in your adventuring class you will begin to unlock the ability to equip gear of a higher level. – Steven Sharif

Gear sets (also known as tier sets) are a part of Ashes of Creation.

• In general, higher tier gear will be from gear sets.

Q: How often will armor be part of an entire armor set with other cosmetically matching pieces versus unique armor pieces that don't match or go along with anything else in the game?

A: There is a balance of both set pieces and non-set pieces and usually you're going to see at higher grades within a tier are going to be more predominantly set driven; and the lower interstitial power levels of the gear for that tier are the potentially bespoke pieces; and obviously those pieces are catered around a number of different interactions, such as ones you get from quests, ones that you get from drops, ones that you can craft, ones that you get from legendary bosses, ones that you get from guild-oriented tasks, or in-game favor and unique currencies. So there's different types of acquisition models and each of them has a spattering of either bespoke pieces or set-oriented pieces; and there are even varying levels of set pieces as well. So you might have a full eight piece set, or a three-piece set, or a five piece set, depending on where it lives within the tier. – Steven Sharif

• Players gain bonuses depending on the number and tier of pieces they have equipped.

• Apariencia racial of gear sets is tied to the character model of that race.

• It will be possible to store and swap gear loadouts with a single button press when out of combat.

• Approximately 49 unique gear sets were obtainable in Alpha-1 from crafting, quests, drops and exploration. These were unique sets with different stats, but some may be similar in appearance.

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.

• There are passive abilities that can be chosen to become more adept with certain set types.
• There will be viable non-set builds.

Best in slot weapons

Esta traducción puede estar desactualizada.

• Los objetos crafteados estarán a la altura de los objetos BiS (best-in-slot)) (de drops).
• Lo que se considera como BiS dependerá del rol del personaje y del tipo enemigos a los que se enfrente.
• El contenido instanciado incluirá combates con jefes difíciles y con mecánicas que soltarán equipo, pero este equipo no será BiS. Este solo podrá ser encontrado en el mundo abierto.
