Fast travel is limited in Ashes of Creation. None of these fast travel methods allow transportation of gatherables or materials.[1][2]

There is very little teleportation in the world. Some of that does get unlocked through metropolises of a certain type. Additionally there are mounts that are faster travel and there are services that are fast travel between nodes.[3]Steven Sharif

Faster travel in Ashes of Creation refers to the use of player ridden mounts and flying automated creatures that connect certain nodes.[7]

Family summon

Family summon Long duration cast (30 seconds to a minute) with an approximate 30 minute cooldown that slowly summons each of your family members to your location (up to eight members).[11][12] Players cannot be summoned in the following cases:
This will be tested in Alpha-2.[15]

So why is travel important? We've talked about this in the past, the reasons why. We've all existed in games where teleportation is very easy to use and sometimes that can be a detriment because you may have activities like a caravan run that's happening and one person sees you from a certain guild and they do the raid callout to their guild "everyone open your portals and come here within a split second and we're going to just mob this group". No, well instead that opportunity doesn't exist. If you want to provoke or to gank an operation of another guild, you need to have foreknowledge. You need to prepare. You need to place your forces around that area; and that is an important aspect. In addition, it makes that travel meaningful. If you are having to spend time to move to a location, you're going to think about what can I do along the way? Why am I moving to that location? How is it more beneficial for me to be in that location versus where I am now? This is also in association with the fact that you are a citizen of a particular node and that node needs your assistance within its vicinity; and if you want to move outside of that vicinity there should be a really good reason for that and there's lots of great reasons for it.[16]Steven Sharif

Tipo de viaje Corriendo.[17] En montura.[17]
De un extremo a otro de un nodo de Metropolis (fase 6) 2.83 minutos 1.67 minutos
Desde el centro de un nodo hasta el centro de su nodo vecino 5 minutos 3.5 minutos
De los puntos más septentrionales a los más meridionales de un continente 75 minutos 50 minutos

Faster travel

Faster travel in Ashes of Creation refers to the use of player ridden mounts and automated creatures that connect certain nodes.[18][19][5][7]

There will be connection points between certain nodes via the use of like flying automated creatures that you can use.[7]Steven Sharif

Scientific node superpower

Los nodos científicos que han alcanzado la fase de metropolis desbloquean el super-poder de Teletransporte.[9]

  • Los ciudadanos de un nodo científico en fase metrópolis pueden teleportarse entre metrópolis y cualquiera de sus nodos vasallos sin importar la fase de este nodo vasallo, siempre que no se encuentre en guerra.
  • Los ciudadanos de los nodos vasallos pueden teleportarse hasta la metrópolis y volver.
  • Si hay varias metrópolis científicas, un dirigible ofrecerá transporte rápido entre esas metrópolis científicas para todos los ciudadanos de esos nodos y sus nodos vasallos siempre y cuando las metrópolis no esté en guerra.

This will allow Citizens and Vassals of Scientific Metropolises to do things more quickly than others, as fast travel is limited in the world of Ashes of Creation. They’ll be able to exchange goods and information with ease and get to locations in the world at a quicker speed in order to gather crafting materials to create recipes, as well as participate in limited-time events.[9]

Public transportation

There are multiple types of public transportation services where players can go AFK and be driven somewhere.[6][8]

One of the nodes has the idea of an airship that can go from node to node and I'm certain that we will have harbors that do similar things with other node types... It might be something that could be player-driven... We're sure to have a taxi system where you load up a couple people and you drive them somewhere while you AFK.[6]Jeffrey Bard

Movimiento del jugador

  • Esprintar consumirá un porcentaje de la reserva de maná del personaje. No se podrá esprintar en combate.[21]
    • Se ha confirmado que una habilidad de correr/esprintar con tiempo de reutilización será parte de un kit de clase.[22]
I've instructed design to incorporate a mana consumption that's percentage based for sprinting. So it'll be a similar amount of time that each class, regardless of their mana values, will have in order to sprint and it will not be accessible while in a combat.[21]Steven Sharif
  • Existe la posibilidad de caminar o correr ("autorun").[23]
  • No habrá ninguna mecánica de "ir a un punto" ("auto-pathing").[3]
  • El desplazamiento hacia atrás y el avance en diagonal son más lentos que la velocidad de movimiento normal.[24]

Zergs

For every play, there should be a counterplay. We often see Castle Sieges turn into zerg-fests, which really doesn’t capture the epic, back-and-forth battles we wish to see in Ashes of Creation. One of our key pillars is that Choice Matters[27], and that applies to tactics and strategy as well. A well-formulated battle plan should win out over stat sheets and bodies. Zergs will generally be difficult to pull off, and will be eminently counterable through siege weapons, traps, and other battlefield tricks.[28]

Los Zergs están fortalecidas por el viaje rápido. Los tiempos de viajes tan signficativos evita que el juego de zerg sea una gran influencia.[29]

Los encuentros se diseñan para tener significado en términos de jefes, habilidades y la aptitud relacionada con las composiciones, tácticas y estrategias del grupo. El Zerging no experimenta este contenido.[30] Hay diferentes maneras de hacer que una pelea sea más difícil para que grupos más grandes, sin depender únicamente de los potenciadores de estadísticas o hacer que el jefe sea una "esponja de daño".[31]

  • Los jefes de raids y mazmorras tienen mecánicas y habilidades específicas que los jugadores deben aprender y reaccionar.[31] Los Zergs que no sean conscientes de estas mecánicas o que no reaccionen a ellas como es debido, serán eliminados.[30]
  • Puede haber peligros ambientales y efectos de AoE que causen más daño según la cantidad de jugadores presentes.[31]
  • Hay un toma y daca para los gremios que quieren ver una mayor cantidad de miembros en lugar de un grupo más reducido y enfocado que puede ser parte de una alianza.[32]

We're very cognizant of the fact that we don't want to see zerging be a mechanic that's utilized by guilds to accomplish content or just to steamroll over sieges... There are specific mechanics that we are working on that will be seen through the testing phases that relate to a degree of understanding of certain systems that can't just be overrun with numbers.[32]Steven Sharif

Las mecánicas que fomentan la intriga política desempeñarán un papel en la desestabilización de los zergs.[33]

The best way that I found in games I played previously to take down a zerg is to cause drama from within... It's that conflict inside of the politicking that happens in that big organization. If we provide opportunities for division to occur then it also provides stability to keep a server healthy away from that zerg mentality also... If we approach the castle siege and we've destroyed the walls and we're in the throne room and we're about to cast on the penultimate thing and I at this time am just so excited from what's happening that I'm like "screw it I'm gonna go for it". It's gonna be mine. I'm gonna take the taxes for the next month. I'm gonna take all the gear from the castle. I'm gonna take everything... We want that political intrigue to be present in the game.[33]Steven Sharif

El juego basado en objetivos ayuda a equilibrar la mentalidad de zerg.[34]

I always feel that if you balance based on groups that in your balance focus is to incorporate features that play well from a player versus player perspective as well as a player versus environment perspective: Having support classes, having DPS and tanks that can obstruct movement and/or create bottlenecks on the field and stuff like that. I think a well-rounded raid it will perform better against a non well-rounded raid, however then you incorporate the second aspect of numbers; and that's where again mobility, organization, leadership tactics. Having objectives in gameplay that make those important helps to balance the zerg mentality that a lot of guilds can tend to have.[34]Steven Sharif

Las zonas instanciadas no juegan un papel importante en la limitación de zergs, debido a que el 80% del contenido en Ashes of Creation es mundo abierto.[35]

  • Puede haber zonas instanciadas dentro de asedios a castillos y nodos donde grupos en particular pueden participar en ciertos puntos de referencia basados en objetivos.[35]

Zerging is always a problem in a lot of these MMORPGs where you really can't control the number of participants in certain open-world systems; and in that sense instancing is a great tool that designers can sometimes use to curate a particular number of participants that you want. But the predominant amount of content within Ashes of Creation, over 80% of which is is open-world content, so instancing is very limited.[35]Steven Sharif
