Logs de combate

Hay logs del combate en Ashes of Creation.

We will be providing combat data for individual players in their chat window, that players can filter and analyze for themselves. The goal is to mitigate and make the practice less prevalent through the ease that DPS meters provide. Also to place actionable enforcement for players who attempt to circumvent the decision by use of 3rd party programs, for which we will be monitoring. – Steven Sharif

Addons

Los addons y los medidores de DPS y amenaza no se permitirán.

My decision is not to allow DPS meters nor add-ons. I feel we have adequate measures in place to prevent a majority of potential third party trackers. I know this subject has passionate voices on both sides and I respect the various opinions and positions many of you have expressed. – Steven Sharif

• Los desarrolladores no quieren que se necesiten addons/mods para disfrutar del juego.
• Los desarrolladores creen que los medidores de DPS (parsers) pueden causar toxicidad y otros comportamientos negativos

What role DPS meters provide in online communities that I've noticed in the past my experiences: they can be a bit toxic, they can be a bit exclusionary; and that's why we don't want the DPS meters. – Steven Sharif

• Los medidores de amenaza tampoco estarán presentes en el juego. En su lugar, habrá indicadores visuales de amenaza.

Meters in my opinion are a removal from the game immersion; and what I mean by that isn't necessarily even the fact that having the meter takes you out of the game per-se, but it is- there's a lot of diegetic approach that you can take that doesn't rely on UI elements like a meter to indicate how you should do a thing; and when you're not utilizing those types of meters you can do different types of strategies and encounter design. You can have things that can be more subtle and aren't going to be immediately given away by a meter indicating something; and that's the type of gameplay that we think that I believe we want to emphasize; and for that reason, we're not going to be including threat meters. What we will be including however are animation indicators. We're going to be including ability indicators to show the tank "hey I might be losing aggro here." I'm observing in the world these immersive elements that are not tied to any specific type of UI, but indicate to me that this monster might be moving off to attack somebody else in a very immediate future; and now I should be using the abilities that I'm saving to regain that aggro, or to lock them down with a taunt or something. That to me is a bit more representative of the type of gameplay we want to to bring in our encounter design. – Steven Sharif

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.

• Habrá integraciones disponibles para servicios de transmisión como Twitch y algunos otros servicios, pero no es algo que se ofrecerá a través de una API por el momento.
• El diseño de la API del juego aún está bajo consideración.

Data mining

The developers are intending to implement measures to mitigate data mining where possible.

Q: Will some technology be utilized to delay data mining, for example holding assets/data on the servers instead of clients and only streaming it to the clients on demand.

A: Within our architectures there are some plans for us to mitigate as much as possible the data mining to a degree. But, ultimately there's just going to be some amount of information that's not possible to be kept from data mining. – Steven Sharif

Macros

The issue with macros is that from an anti cheat metric perspective it's difficult to define what a macro is against a script. And in order to catch all scripts sometimes you have to prevent the macro usage. So really that's a that's a data issue. If we allow for macros then we lose our ability to precisely ban script users, botters. – Steven Sharif
