Naves

Tea transport PAX East 2018 exclusive cosmetic ship skin.

Sailing will be pretty in-depth and it's going to be based on the size of the ship that you're using. So there will be components for seamanship that other players you will need to have on board if you want to operate a vessel to the best of it's abilities: Let's say in combat or traversing just the world. – Steven Sharif

Naves are owned by the player who has the ship item in their inventory. Only that player can summon the ship.

• Ship creation is generally delegated to players. There won't be many non-player-owned ships.
  • Quest lines may have NPC driven ships.
  • NPC ships will be present on the ocean that are adversaries or monsters that will be targets for players to try to raid or hunt for treasure.

For the most part all ship creation will be delegated to the player. You have to build up a ship or find somebody who has one if you want to get across the seas. – Steven Sharif

• There won't be mechanics for players to hire NPCs to carry out tasks on ships.

• Permissions will be present to allow other players to access ship functions who are in the same party or raid, such as weapons, anchors, utility items, and the ship's helm to navigate the ship.
• Players will have quests that navigate them toward creating a personal vessel at around level 10-15.

• Player merchants will not be able to be placed on ships.

Ship classes

Alpha-1 naval concept art.

Naves are divided into classes of vessel, which relate to their size and capabilities in battle and in transportation.

Size	Type	Usage.	Crew.
Small	Personal vessels.	Solo/personal content.	1-3
Medium	Frigates.	Group content.	Group size (8)
Large	Galleons.	Raid content.	Raid size (40)

The amount of crew required in order for a ship to be effective depends on the ship's class.

• All ship classes minimally require a captain to drive the ship.

• Certain ship classes will have the ability to render Control de masas (CC) (CC) effects on other ships, such as a harpoon effects.

Ships have their own class of vessel and the class that is related to the vessel has a certain purpose both in battle, in PvE raids, in transportation. – Steven Sharif

Galleons

The Wonderwisp pre-order pack cosmetic ship skin.

Galleons (also called Capital or Raid ships.) a class of ship in Ashes of Creation.

• These are targeted at naval raid content.
• Galleons have a crew size of 40 players.

Caravanas navales

Esta traducción puede estar desactualizada.

Alpha-1 Niküa naval caravan 3D render.

Caravans are capable of transitioning from land to naval caravans. So if you start out as a land-based Caravan and you move to the coast and you want to move into the water there's gonna be a little transition period there; it's gonna be a little construction site: You're not gonna have to do anything it's just gonna be a timer right so that you can't quickly move between land and water. It's gonna be probably in the matter of a minute to two minutes. There's a little bit of vulnerability in that regard. – Steven Sharif

Las caravanas navales (barcos comerciales/barcos mercantes) son parte del contenido naval de Ashes of Creation. Las caravanas navales permiten el transporte de mercancías comerciales.

• Las caravanas navales son capaces de transformarse en caravanas terrestres y viceversa en el punto de intersección de tierra y océano.
• Estas caravanas tendrán diferentes tamaños y capacidades.
• Por defecto, las caravanas navales tienen una apariencia racial. Los jugadores podrán aplicar skins de caravana para cambiar esta apariencia.

Merchant ships

Trader ship PAX West 2017 ship skin.

Merchant ships are part of Ashes of Creation naval content.

A merchant ship interacts with a harbor in a very similar fashion to the way that Caravans interact with the caravanserai, but they have much larger capacity and they stop at other harbors in a very similar functionality to the way the caravans stop at caravanserais. Harbors have a disembarkation zone that lives near the harbor. So if you make your merchant ship to that zone as well, it will get guided into the harbor and will be safe. But when you launch that caravan from a harbor it is much like a land caravan. The only difference is that Merchant ships cannot become land caravans. They must stay as merchant ships. – Steven Sharif

• Merchant ships can only be launched and received at harbors in a similar way that land caravans can only be launched and received at a caravanserai.
  • Harbors have a disembarkation zone that merchant ships can cross to be guided into the harbor.
• Unlike naval caravans, merchant ships cannot transition into land caravans.
• Merchant ships have a much larger capacity than land caravans.

Fishing boats

Render 3D de un Bote de pesca.

Los botes de pesca en Ashes of Creation son utilizados en la pesca en aguas profundas.

Ferry services

Los jugadores pueden proporcionar servicios de transporte por agua (servicio de ferrys) pero no habrá barcos automatizados.

Summoning ships

Only the player who has the ship item in their inventory can summon that ship.

• Ships (excluding Caravanas navales) can only be summoned from a port or harbor.
• Ships may be able to be summoned in rivers (or other bodies of water) depending on the depth of the water.
• Caravanas navales are initiated when a land-based caravan intersects with an ocean.

You can summon your ships up but you'll need to summon them from land, which means that if something happens to your armada out at sea you won't have backups to just summon immediately in the middle of the fight... They'll have to do so from shore somewhere from some port or harbor. – Steven Sharif

Ship building

Naval concept art.

Ships are going to also have classes. Those classes are going to dictate the type of of attachments that can be applied and in what quantity. A military vessel type may have more capacity for weapon based attachments. A transport ship might have more capacity for defensive based attachments. And then you'll have more versatile ships that can share across those types. So in that sense you are constructing a componentized ship for the types of activities you intend to do: Are you a raider? Are you a mover of goods? Are you an adventurer? These types of things are going to inform your decision of what the attachments you're going to have in those three categories. – Steven Sharif

Ship building can be carried out by any player in possession of the right components, recipes, and an advanced enough node with a harbor.

• Various professions can craft ship components. These components can be sold to other players.
  • Previously it was stated that players utilize the ship components that are crafted by ship builders.

Ships are built in adherence to a recipe. That recipe requires components. Those components adhere to different crafting professions that require a player to intersect and/or craft or purchase those components from the different professions and then once they have those accumulated they can do the construction process through the recipe system at a harbor. – Steven Sharif

• Ships may only be crafted or upgraded in harbor ship workstations that are unlocked by the advancement of coastal nodes.

• Players can choose which "joints" get populated with either offensive weaponry, defensive, or utility attachments they want on their ship prior to construction completion. The types of attachments that are available are dictated by the ship's class.
  • Movement, Durability, Speed, Turn rate, Hit points, Defensive and Damage abilities.
  • Weapon slots.
  • Aesthetic customization.

There are absolutely attachments that can apply to the ship and some of those are decorative in nature. There are also slots that have utility aspects to them as well but are also decorative. – Steven Sharif

• Ships will likely not have closed spaces or internal compartments such as Captain's quarters.

We are trying to stay away from internal compartments within the ships because that presents a whole different type of user interface and flow that can be a bit cumbersome and problematic, especially in combat and in closed spaces. So we're trying to stay away from that under deck aspect and keep things all on deck for better readability on the player side. – Steven Sharif

Ship repair

Naves may be repaired but it will be a lengthier process than in other games.

• Once repaired, ships can only be launched from land.

Harbors

Alpha-1 harbor early preview concept.

Harbors that are located in specific areas around the world along the coast and those are points of interest that get adopted by a node when they reach certain levels in proximity to that harbor, or if the node gets vasseled by a parent or sovereign node in relationship to their vassal owning that harbor. – Steven Sharif

Harbors are points of interest that appear in proximity to coastal nodes. Harbors have a significant amount of influence over the waters.

• The first coastal node to reach Aldea (escenario 3) will take control of its closest harbor.

• Harbors have a disembarkation zone that merchant ships can cross to be guided into the harbor.
  • Merchant ships can only be launched and received at harbors in a similar way that land caravans can only be launched and received at a caravanserai.

• Harbors will grant quests that are related to naval content.

• Naves may only be crafted or upgraded in harbor ship workstations that are unlocked by the advancement of coastal nodes.

• Nodos costeros are not directly siegeable by sea. Instead, harbors offer objective-based naval gameplay during node sieges.

Naming ships

Naves will be able to be named.

• Ship names may potentially appear on the ship's hull or as floating text above the ship.

Emblems

Banner 3D renders.

The user interface will allow emblems, logos and symbols to be designed in-game.

• Guild emblems.
  • Flags.
  • Sala del gremio.
  • Mount barding.
• Naves
  • Sails.
  • Emblems may potentially appear on a ship's hull as a decal, along with the ship name.
• Personaje
  • Escudos.
  • Cloaks.
  • Armadura attachments.

• Emblem editor functionality is tentatively planned for Alpha-2.

Combate naval

Alpha-2 Negalith naval raid boss.

This is one of the Alpha-2 raid bosses that are going to be in the ocean. That'll be interesting when you come across that, what might happen. Good luck. We should have added a scale there because yeah, it's a big boy. The number of ships needed for that one's going to be a lot. – Steven Sharif

Combate naval involves different types of Naves with varying capabilities, armaments and roles to play out on the high seas. There will be a balance and counterbalance between ships from Pvp and PvE perspectives.

• PvP Naval is between ships.
• Naval PvE includes open sea raids and sea-based bosses.
• Certain ship classes and components may support ramming of other vessels or raid bosses.
• Ship weapons can damage both players and structures.
  • Damage done by ship weapons such as potion launchers will generate threat.
  • Characters can also use ranged skills during naval combat. Taunts and other threat generation skills can be utilised for tanking at sea.
• Coastal points of interest, such as harbors, offer objective-based naval gameplay during node sieges.
• There is a castle located on an island that is only able to be affected by naval combat.

Battles at sea will be epic. They will have some supreme rewards and/or losses if the battle succeeds or fails. – Steven Sharif

• Naval combat allows ships to be hijacked, destroyed and looted, but it doesn't allow the attackers to permanently keep the ships.

Q: Will there be a way to produce enough experience for a node for those who want to spend the majority of their time on the open seas?

A: The open seas have have a good amount of content; and that content when completed will give its contribution to a nearby node; and that is something that people who live on the sea, or desire to live on the sea, will be able to um contribute in a way. – Steven Sharif

PvP Naval

Esta traducción puede estar desactualizada.

Los operarios de la plataforma de armamento de un barco pueden iniciar el PvP naval contra otra nave en los tres siguientes casos.

Another important change that has occurred is the open seas is now an automatic flagged location. So when you move off of land we have a flagging system that protects and the open seas are international waters where you need to be careful; and there is a lot of opportunity at Sea; and because there's a lot of opportunity that's unique to that content- that's unique to that sea: that's treasure finding; that's NPCs; that's a lot of different stuff there needs to be risk associated with opportunity. – Steven Sharif

• Cuando los barcos se mueven a una zona de mar abierto (aguas abiertas/océano profundo). Esto marcará a los jugadores como combatientes (morado). Los personajes Corruptos (rojos) permanecerán rojos mientras esténe n mar abierto.
  • Los jugadores que entren en una zona de mar abierto serán notificados por la UI con antelación.
  • Las zonas de mar abierto tienen mejores recursos y en mayor abundancia para compensar el nivel de riesgo añadido.

We have a very intuitive UI that that as you approach the border between open sea and coastal area you are notified of that. You are warned ahead of time. There's a countdown when approaching. We interpolate the distance travel and speed you're moving and you get to see "I'm entering open waters"; and when you do you have this big trophy call out on screen that says "You have entered the open sea. Territory fraught." – Steven Sharif

• Como resultado de eventos (como guerras de gremio de nodo) entre las partes implicadas.
• Como resultado del PvP de mundo abierto, empleando el sistema de flagueo y corrupción.

Ship weapons

Ship weapons are used for both naval PvP and PvE.

• There will be projectile-based weapons that require leading the target and predicting the movement of the opponent.

• There are faster projectile weapons that have shorter flight times and thus require less prediction, such as harpoons, which impacts a target within within one or two seconds.

• Lanzadores de pociones are used in place of canons on ships. These fire slower projectiles that can take upwards of three to five seconds to impact, depending on the angle of the firing.

Armas de fuego y pólvora

The Gilded Galleon pre-order pack cosmetic ship skin.

The potion launcher idea will be incorporated as part of how cannons operate on ships; and these will be very large potion launchers obviously. The storage of this ammunitions are going to be very important as well... It's not going to be the same potion every time. You can equip the cannon with different types of potions that have different types of effects from a munitions standpoint; and I think that's going to provide a very cool gameplay because as you see the different color of the trail that's coming out of the potion launched, you'll be aware of what your adversary is using and how that affects your ship; and you'll be able to counter based on maneuverability, based on whatever you want to counter that with. I think that's going to present a very interesting dynamic to the attacks with these ships. – Steven Sharif

Las armas de fuego (pólvora negra) no estarán presentes en Ashes of Creation.

• Los barcos emplearán una versión más grande del lanzador de pociones en lugar de cañones. Estos cañones podrán ser equipados con diferentes pociones que tendrán diferentes efectos.

I previously said there was not going to be gunpowder in Ashes. What there will be is something very similar to gunpowder but has a more arcane nature to it. It's not necessarily going to be explainable through the conventional means of chemistry, metallurgy, and physics and what not, but rather the Essence is the core component of many types of magic, one of which is obviously going to be evocation type magic; and that evocation can have some explosive tendencies. – Steven Sharif

El armamento como los lanzadores de pociones, armas de asedio y las armas utilizadas en el combate naval están basadas en las artes arcanas .

• Los elementos (magia de evocación).
• El uso del fulgor y la oscuridad.

As we said in the past, were not really about that black powder life. Instead it's really going to be focused on the arcane arts: The elements; the use of radiance and darkness; and then those being employed in larger weaponry, such as the type of siege weaponry between ship battles as well as those and sieges. A potion launcher is an example of the arcane energies that can be mastered in order to facilitate these highly destructive alchemical blends that can be created. – Steven Sharif

Ship status effects

Naves will have status effects based on the weapon types attacking the ship or the encounters that the ship is facing.

Ship destructibility

Ship destruction at sea will leave its crew stranded, since ships (excluding Caravanas navales) may only be summoned from a port or harbor.

• There is no "recall" (fast-travel) option to return to shore, however death by drowning will respawn the player on shore but will incur experience debt (and other death penalties).

We don't have a recall... There is consequence for you losing the means of your mobility and if you lost the means of that mobility then those consequences are it's going to take you longer to get to where you need to go, or you're going to have to suffer some experience debt. – Steven Sharif

• Dynamic destructibility of ships is under consideration.

I mean traditionally if we did not use dynamic destruction, that what we would use is decals to simulate damage on the ship based on an overall hit point value. At certain hit point values we would swap out the mesh to show a more destructive state potentially; and that and at that point for a user in regards to immersion both are very similar from the immersion factor right? – Steven Sharif

Secuestrar barcos

Ciertos barcos pueden ser secuestrados, destruidos y saqueados, pero los barcos no pueden ser capturados permantentemente

• Las caravanas navales no pueden ser secuestradas. La carga en un barco comercial será similar a las caravanas en las que el barco debe ser destruido para poder hacerse con el botón de los restos.

Mariner classes

Las clases de marinero (también denominadas artesanía de barcos, habilidades de marinero o naútica) poseen diferentes árboles de habilidades similares a los árboles de habilidades de las clases de artesanías. A medida que un jugador gana experiencia en este tipo de habilidades, se vuelve más hábil en su uso.

• Uso de diferentes accesorios, como la artillería.
• Pilotaje de un barco.
• Navegación del barco.
• Usar los componentes del barco, como enrollar las velas.
• Reparación del barco, como la velocidad y cantidad de salud restaurada.
• Habilidades defensivas.
• Habilidades basadas en la utilidad.

The benefits of having Mariner expertise is not just related to activities you can do on the ships, but will also incorporate skills that become available when you're piloting ships as well. There's a few things that Mariner classes provide: interaction with attachments on the ship, driving the ship itself, utilizing the ship's components—like furling the sails or not—as well as repairing ships when damage is taken—the speed at which you can do it, the health you regenerate when you do it. – Steven Sharif

Ship navigation

Ship navigation is enhanced by navigational instruments, such as spyglasses, that can be equipped on certain ship classes. These will give an "overview radar perspective" of the area surrounding the ship, with range based on the ship's class and the type of instrument.

• The render distance of other ships on the water will vary based on the class of the ship and the type of of navigational instruments being used.
• Other types of tools are available to allow ships to detect movement under the water, such as aquatic mounts.
• Players will need to take wind direction (and strength) into consideration when navigating the open waters.

Viento

High winds, rain, and snow - our dynamic weather system has you covered!

El viento influirá en la velocidad y la dirección a la que viajen los barcos en mar abierto (zonas no costeras del mapa).

• Los jugadores tendrán que tener en cuenta la dirección (y la fuerza) del viento cuando naveguen por mar abierto.

Wind is an important component of the open sea- quote-unquote open seas- so that's all non-coastal areas; and that open sea, based on those the composition of wind and the open sea, will influence the speed directionally that a boat is traveling in, and how that speed gets influenced by the winds. That can be an important strategic component when discussing timing for trade runs, or timing for what your location is in relationship to your target out at the open sea; and it just creates a little bit more fluid and dynamic experience when you're at sea that. Like you're not in this cove and you always know how you're going to interact with the open water; and the speed that you have, so you can predict accurately what your intercept rate or distance will look like. If that is a variable and that variable changes, then you have to adapt your strategies for that variable; and I think that is very healthy and keeps things fresh from a perspective of a cat-and-mouse game that usually occurs between ships in the open waters. – Steven Sharif

Naval content

Alpha-1 naval concept art.

Snapchat Sneakpeak, 2017-11-9.

Naval content refers to content above and below the sea.

• Monturas acuáticas.
• Nodos costeros.
• Fortresses.
• Harbors.
• Island chains.
• Caravanas navales.
• Naval NPCs.
• PvP Naval.
• Misiones.
• Incursiones.
• Naves.
• Rutas comerciales.
• Caza de tesoros.
• Mazmorras submarinas.

Enhanced naval content was unlocked as part of the $1,500,000 Kickstarter stretch goal.

There will not initially be naval content (such as a Dark Lake) in the Reino subterráneo (Underrealm), but this may be something that gets added in future expansions.

There won't be class abilities that are specific to naval content, but some utility skills (such as underwater breathing) may be of some benefit.
