Sistema de combos de las armas

Esta traducción puede estar desactualizada.

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

Progresión de armas

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

Árbol de habilidades de las armas

Basic weapon attack livestream teaser.

Part of the plan with each of these weapons is they'll each have a unique skill tree associated with them to differentiate them, not only in terms of feel, but also in terms of mechanics. And an important thing that we really want to capture in Ashes is the important ability basically so the player can build their character how they want; and that extends beyond just their classkits. So for example, if I'm the ranger I can spec into my shortbow or I can spec into my longbow; and those will be two very different builds for example made specialized or have have a part of its tree that specializes and bleeds that might synergize with specific ranger abilities that the longbow might not necessarily synergize with. Their weapon choice will play into what abilities the archetype is specializing in. – Tradd Thompson

Las habilidades de arma otorgan habilidades pasivas y efectos de probabilidad (procs) así como otros efectos de estado en lugar de habilidades que se puedan usar en la barra de acción de un jugador. Cuantos más puntos de habilidad se asignen al árbol del arma, mayor será la afinidad del jugador con ese arma. Esto influye directamente en aspectos como la cantidad de ataques, su velocidad así como el aumento de "procs" al realizar ataques básicos con ese arma. Estos "procs" pueden ofrecer cierta sinergia con las habilidades activas del jugador. Esta sinergia también se aplica a las habilidades activas de otros personajes.

• El sistema combinado de armas determina los efectos especiales que se activan como "procs" en función de la progresión del arma.

Our approach is not going to be providing skills through weapons. It's going to be providing skills through classes. – Steven Sharif

• Los jugadores se pueden especializar en ciertas habilidades de armas dentro de su arbol de habilidades de armas (también denominado habilidades de combate, y árbol de combate) en función de sus tipos de armas preferidas así como el nivel de esas armas.

Let's say a dagger has some slashing effects that bleed the target or that cripple the target... Every time you attack you have a chance to proc that effect. That effect then can synergize with what your active skills tree has available to it. So let's say your backstab deals 30 additional damage to a bleeding target. If you attack with your main weapon first and the target gets the bleed proc off and you do your backstab skill then you're synergizing your effects. – Steven Sharif

Let's say backstab that you can apply to deals damage to the target and it'll have a conditional modifier on that damage if you're behind the target, and it'll have a conditional modifier deal additional 50 damage if the target is under a bleed effect. So you want to synergize essentially your weapon proc conditions with your active skills so that you're timing your certain active skills appropriately with the status conditions that the target has taken. – Steven Sharif

• La progresión de ciertas armas como los conjuntos con bonificadores pueden cambiar el nivel en el que los "procs" se disparan.
• Estos "procs" pueden reducir o resetear el cooldown de otras habilidades en la barra de acción del jugador.

Weapon use combo system status

The weapon combo system plays heavily into the weapon skill trees, which are planned for Alpha-2 and beyond.

• The weapon use ability that was originally shown at PAX West 2017 was reduced to a basic form in Alpha-0. The new combo system will not have the quicktime event that was seen in PAX West 2017.
• A revised weapon combo system was present in Alpha-1. This was referred to as Combo system, Combat skills, and Combat tree.
