Class weapons and armor

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

Equipo óptimo (Best in slot)

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.

Gear binding

Pueden darse casos en donde el equipo se ligue al jugador (BoE or BoP) pero serán contadas excepciones, ya que esto no facilita los objetivos respecto a la economía.

• Muy poco equipo estará ligado a la cuenta o al alma en Ashes of Creation.
  • La economía del juego se basa en la elaboración y degradación de los objetos.
• El equipo se puede obtener mediante elaboración, recoleción y procesado además de en jefes de raids y mazmorras.

A lot of what we experienced in games that usually come before us is that many things are account bound and they're soulbound to your character... Instead very little here is character bound. Very very little. The vast majority of gear- yes you will get quest related gear as rewards- but it won't be let's say one set in one dungeon and you must run the dungeon over and over. Instead we want to really emphasize the reliance on the economy and crafters and gatherers and processors to support a majority of the gear structure in-game, combined with that of world raid bosses and dungeon bosses; not a repetitive quest line through a single dungeon. – Steven Sharif

Crafted gear

Elaboración (Crafting) UI. Alpha-1 captura de pantalla. Credito de imagen: Guild:Overlord

Crafted items (also referred to as Completed items, Finished goods, or Final products) are items produced by crafter artisans using crafting stations.

• Completed items can be accessed by players in warehouses at any node regardless of citizenship or housing ownership.
• Crafted gear is considered best-in-slot in Ashes of Creation.
  • Previously it was stated that crafted items will be on-par with boss dropped items.
  • Crafters will be able to assign different skills/abilities and stats on gear.
    • Master crafters will be able to influence several (but not all) stats on their crafted items.

Crafted gear in the game is the best gear... One thing that I'm not a fan of is that you develop a crafting system in a game and you've spent a lot of time making this from a material and resource perspective. All the tables that you can receive, all the connectivity in the economy and how crafting is associated with the game; and then you undermine the crafting entirely by presenting a separate route of gear acquisition that is on-par with the crafting efforts. So here you have these people who are acquiring all of the resources getting, all the recipes, leveling up their professions and then everything they make is less or equal to anything you could just have chosen the easier path of and gone down the questing and received the best gear. So what we do focus on is that crafters make the best shit. Excuse me, the best things. – Steven Sharif

• The rarity of crafted items will be commensurate with the effort required to gather, process and craft the items.
  • Stats on crafted items will vary based on the item's rarity.
  • Apariencia del equipo is influenced by the rarity of the crafted item.

That plays into our crafting system in and of itself. The idea is for those stats to be variables that can be dictated based on the mastery level of the particular crafter; and the higher they become a master of those professions, whether it be for armor or for weapons or for accessories, they're going to have some agency and put their mark on essentially what items they're introducing into the economy. – Steven Sharif

• Crafters are able to influence what their crafted items will look like.
  • At the moment, harnessing corruption to warp items into demonic or decayed things is not on the cards.
  • A crafter's name is embedded in the items they craft.

We believe that every item that exists in the world should in some way reflect its creator. As such, there will be extreme versatility in our crafting system – giving crafters the ability to create unique items that represent their strengths and weaknesses.

Item creation suite

An "item creation suite" that allows crafters to create unique appearances for items has been discussed as a future possibility.

Gear inspection/ Threat assessment

You decide to gank the player, but find out that you have been ambushed!

Los jugadores tendrán un indicador en su placa de nombre que indicará el equipo que llevan. Los demás jugadores podrán ver este indicador si apuntan al jugador a distancia.

• Esto indicará el tipo de armadura (tela, cuero, placas) que llevan principalmente.

You can target a player. You're going to see what type of armor they have based on a buff they have available to them because obviously cosmetics can change appearance. You might have different silhouettes as a result of that. – Steven Sharif

• El borde indicará el nivel y la calidad del set.
  • También indica si el equipo está encantado, junto con los efectos visuales asociados a los objetos encantados.
• Los desarrolladores creen que inspeccionar el equipo para obtener una lista exacta de equipo o la puntuación del mismo puede dar lugar a "comportamientos no deseados".

When you see a player approaching you and they're wearing a transmog you don't know if that person is a high damage mitigation against physical damage or against magical damage and essentially the way we overcome that is through you being able to target a player at a distance and they will have a buff that's present on them that you will see, which indicates that essentially the piece set that they are wearing. It is important for players to be able to ascertain from a threat assessment standpoint what they're going up against if they're actively checking that, and that will be available. – Steven Sharif
