Skills

Habilidades (Abilities) in Ashes of Creation are built using a custom ability system developed in-house by Intrepid Studios.

Q: There are folks wondering is there an underlying system for the skills and combat from the UE gameplay ability system or is this a proprietary solution that we've created?

A: This is our our custom ability system that's been created at Intrepid. Adam and Keenan and Mike have had a significant hand in creating that. There is functionality that we need to occur in our ability system that's not capable of being done through what's natively available through Unreal Engine; and so as a result many of our systems that we utilize in Ashes of Creation are made custom in-house in order to better facilitate our needs. – Steven Sharif

Q: Do any abilities change based on weapon choice? For example, if I have a bow a equipped will Whirlwind be different based on that?

A: No. So one thing that we've changed since Alpha-1 is we now have a dedicated ranged slot and a dedicated main-hand, off-hand for melee slots; and so if you use an ability that is utilizing your ranged slot, you will spawn that weapon as you're using the ability, and then go back to your basic weapon selection. And you can toggle back and forth between using the ranged weapon slot or the melee weapon slot for your basic weapon attacks.

Alpha-1 preview skills user interface.

This is where players allocate skill points into either their active skills, their passive abilities- which can augment their usage of weapons and armors and health regeneration and passive stats and stuff like that-- but on the weapons side of things, that's where you will spec into certain types of procs based off of weapon groupings. So we've talked a little bit about this in the past: If you have a dagger, daggers might have a chance to proc a bleed on your weapon attack and that would synergize with an active skills' ability like let's say Backstab that does additional damage if the target is under a bleed effect. Now we have said in the past that players will be able to allocate skill points into their active skills that are more geared towards either action combat or tab targeting. – Steven Sharif

Los jugadores obtienen puntos de habilidad conforme suben de nivel. Estos pueden ser usados para mejorar habilidades (subir su rango) ya sea en el árbol de habilidades activas, pasivas o de combate/armas.

• No será posible subir al máximo todas las habilidades de árbol.
• En cuanto a la progresión de habilidades, los jugadores pueden elegir entre "ir horizontal" y conseguir una serie de habilidades diferentes, o "ir vertical" con unas pocas habilidades específicas.
• Los jugadores pueden resetear y reasignar sus puntos de habilidad.
• Los aumentos no cuestan Puntos de habilidad. Anteriormente se había dicho que algunos aumentos requerirán más gasto en puntos de habilidad.

Making active skills capable of receiving additional skill point allocations and unlocking additional features so that from a player agency standpoint it's going to be up to you whether or not you want to be more diverse but less depth- wider and not taller, in some of these skill choices. Or if you want to be very very tall, that's going to be something that is up to the player in that regard. – Steven Sharif

Respeccing

Respeccing (resetting and reallocating) adventuring skills may require travelling to a specific location rather than being able to be done on-the-fly.

I am still conflicted on whether or not I want to allow respecs on-the-fly. I believe that respecing should be done at a particular location that requires a bit of transit and some strategic thinking ahead of time about the encounters that you're expecting, but respecing your class should be relatively easier obviously with that constraint of being at a particular location. – Steven Sharif

• Swapping between multiple saved specs may be able to be done after a suitable cooldown period.

• Respeccing artisan skills is going to be more difficult than respeccing adventuring skills.

Habilidades activas

Alpha-1 Tanque action bar (hotbar) early user interface design.

Los jugadores pueden peronalizar su personaje con las habilidades activas que prefieran en su barra de acción (hotbar).

• El número máximo de habilidades que un jugador puede tener en su barra de acción rondará entre los 15.20.
  • Cada arquetipo tendrá de media unas 35-40 habilidades.
• Habrá una opción de configurar varias barras de acción (hotbars) en la UI del jugador.Por ejemplo: Un guerrero será diferente de otro en función de las habilidades activas que haya elegido.

Some people like to have a very minimalistic number of hot bars. They don't need necessarily to have three, four, five hot bars that are available; but some people do like that: They want to have all their items listed on their hotbar as well as their abilities, as well as as their mounts, as well as anything that they can essentially interact with as an icon. – Steven Sharif

• Los jugadores no obtienen habilidades conforme suben de nivel, deben elegir que habilidades quieren adquirir.
• No hay libros de hechizos que requieran memorizar.

There will be multiple hot-bars that you obviously have available, because you're going to have consumables, you're going to have active skills and whatnot. But the number of active skills are not going to overwhelm necessarily the character and be irrelevant especially at certain stages. – Steven Sharif

Habilidades primarias

Preview de las hablidades principales en el Alpha-1.

Si elijes uno de los ocho arquetipos secundario, sea cual sea, vas a recibir una selección de aumentos que se relacionan con algunas de las ideas principales de esa clase. Ya sabes, como un tanque se centra en controlar el campo de batalla, en sobrevivir. El mago trata de infligir daño y usar los elementos y habilidades en área. El pícaro se centrará en el sigilo y el daño crítico. Por lo tanto esos aumentos van a jugar con esas identidades. – Steven Sharif

La idea detrás de este sistema, es que estás tratando de bordear la línea de esos aumentos en tu rol, ¿Verdad?. Tenemos la clásica santísima trinidad que está presente en los diseños de las clases para los MMOs y, a menudo, no se desvían en absoluto de ella o bien se desvían completamente. El aumento sirve para ofrecer un equilibrio mediante el cual mantienes la apariencia de ese sistema mientras ofreces la oportunidad de personalizar tu experiencia de juego hacia uno de los otros lados del triángulo.. – Steven Sharif

Las habilidades primarias (habilidades de clase) están basadas en el arquetipo del jugador. Los jugadores pueden personalizar sus habilidades primarias con el aumento de un arquetipo secundario

The design behind augments is to not just change the flavor so that it reflects the secondary archetype, but it also fundamentally changes the core components of a skill. – Steven Sharif

• Cada arquetipo secundario ofrece cuatro escuelas de aumento diferentes. Cada escuela de aumentos afecta a las habilidades primarias de un arquetipo de forma distinta.
  • Por ejemplo: Un Mago ofrece aumentos de teletransportación y escuelas elementales. Estos aumentos afectarán las habilidades primarias de un Luchador de forma distinta que a las de un Clérigo.
  • Cada aumento tiene un requisito de nivel.
    • Los aumentos no tienen un coste en puntos de habilidad. Anteriormente se había afirmado que ciertos aumentos requerirán más puntos de habilidad que otros.

There's going to be a certain threshold at which you can no longer augment your active abilities based on the decisions you've augmented previous abilities, so you'll have to pick and choose which ones you want to apply the augments towards. – Steven Sharif

• Elegir el mismo arquetipo primario y secundario aumenta el enfoque en ese arquetipo.

• Los aumentos a las habilidades primarias cambiarán fundamentalmente la forma en la que funciona dicha habilidad: Adaptará aquello que la habilidad hacía para incorporar la identidad del arquetipo secundario.
  • El sistema de progresión para los aumentos es muy similar al sistema de progresión de clases.

• Para cambiar los aumentos de tus habilidades, deberás ir a un NPC en un nodo de nivel Aldea o mayor.
• Algunos colores y efectos especiales|FX pueden cambiar dependiendo de los aumentos elegidos.
  • Las habilidades activas pueden verse completamente diferentes después de que se les ha aplicado un aumento.

• Fuera de las habilidades específicas de cada clase puede haber un subconjunto de habilidades universales, como Bloqueo activo y Esquivar.

Se espera que las habilidades primarias en el Alpha-2 sean muy diferentes a las del Alpha-1.

The ability list in Alpha One is nowhere near what the ability list will be, especially from like a level/progression standpoint. So you can expect it to be incredibly different. – Steven Sharif

Aumentos de clase

A player may choose a secondary archetype when they reach level 25. Each secondary archetype offers four different schools of augmentation. Each augment school affects a primary archetype's skills in different ways.

• For example: A Mago offers Teleportation and elemental schools of augments. These augments will affect a Fighter's primary skills differently than a Cleric's.

When you reach the class phase, which is around level 25 and you introduce that secondary archetype selection to create your one of 64 classes, then you'll have a number of augments that you'll be able to apply on a per-ability basis; and your core ability kit comes from your primary archetype selection; and those augments will change the look and feel of those abilities; and some will have the affect to create more darker thematic aspects to it. Or just generally different aesthetics to the abilities that represent the secondary [archetype] selection. – Steven Sharif

• The player can then augment their primary skills with effects from their secondary archetype.

The intent behind the augment system is not to provide new active abilities. They're intended to augment existing active abilities that are provided through your primary archetype; and so your secondary archetype selection completes your class selection, of which there's 64 types and you get augment skills that can apply certain attributes and mechanics to your existing active skills. So, if you have certain abilities, like a backstab as a Rogue primary archetype, and you take that healer secondary archetype selection, now the properties of your backstab will still remain the same as an active ability, however it might include things like life steal, or it might include things like susceptible weakness to the target, and reduces their healing because the definition of what those augments are intended to provide based on the archetype selected for the augments is within the schools of magic that live for that archetype: so a Cleric is about balancing life and death and the control of those types of hit points. – Steven Sharif

• Each skill in the primary tree will have several augment options from the secondary tree. This is an example of horizontal progression.
  • The progression system for augments is very similar to the class progression system.

• Each augmentation has a level requirement.

• Augments to primary skills can fundamentally change the way the ability works - adapting what the ability once did to incorporate the identity of the secondary archetype/class.

• Augments do not cost skill points. It was previously stated that certain augments will have more expense required on the skill point side.

There's going to be a certain threshold at which you can no longer augment your active abilities based on the decisions you've augmented previous abilities, so you'll have to pick and choose which ones you want to apply the augments towards. – Steven Sharif

• Choosing the same primary and secondary archetype increases focus on that archetype.

• Secondary archetype augments allow different aesthetics to apply to primary abilities that reflect the secondary archetype selection.
  • Some spell colors and general FX change based on augments.
  • Active skills could look totally different after an augment gets applied.

• Changing skill augmentations will require visiting a NPC in a Aldea node or higher.

Habilidades de arma

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 skill trees

Weapon skill trees unlock passive skills, proc effects, and status conditions based on a player's experience with each weapon type. These do not unlock skills that are usable on a player's action bar.

• Bow skill tree
• Greatsword skill tree
• Wand skill tree

Ataques básicos

Alpha-2 Wand basic weapon attack.

Los ataques básicos para el arma equipada se activan pulsando Q o haciendo clic con el botón izquierdo del ratón (el jugador puede cambiar asignación de teclas).

• Los jugadores pueden seleccionar qué arma quieren emplear como arma principal para los ataques básicos.
• Diferentes tipos de armas tienen diferentes ataques básicos.
• Las armas con ataques de proyectiles son capaces de "disparar a ciegas" sin tener un objetivo seleccionado.
  • Si el jugador está en el modo de action combat y su retícula está sobre un objetivo, podrá realizar un soft lock en ese objetivo, haciendo que los proyectiles se dirijan a los objetivos que estén dentro del rango/ángulo correcto.

When you have your weapon and you utilize a basic attack, you can blind fire that weapon, if it has a projectile associated with it, without having to have a target. In addition, if your reticle in action camera mode is over a target, you will have a soft target lock and projectiles will home to that target if within the right angle of direction. – Steven Sharif

• Las secuencias de ataques básicos activan el montaje de animación de combate según el tipo de arma.
  • Usar una habilidad que no sea un ataque básico reiniciará por norma general el sistema de combo de las armas.
• Los desarrolladores están considerando el uso de consumibles/buffs que apliquen ciertos efectos temporales a las armas básicas.

Ataques básico	Icono	Habilidad Base
Greatsword basic attack		-
Longbow basic attack		A slower, powerful, longer range basic ranged attack. Tapping the basic attack button will shoot normally. Holding the basic attack button will charge the shot (and root the player) to cause added damage.
Shortbow basic attack		A fast, low power, short range basic ranged attack. Holding down the basic attack button will repeatedly fire.
Wand basic attack		-

Habilidades pasivas

Esta traducción puede estar desactualizada.

Las habilidades pasivas se usan para aumentar el uso de armas, armaduras, regeneración de salud, y estadísticas pasivas.

• Las habilidades pasivas se pueden subir de nivel asignando puntos de habilidad en la interfaz de habilidades .
• Las habilidades pasivas permiten a los jugadores perfeccionar el dominio de un arma.

All these passive abilities: mana regen, attack damage, critical hit damage, health regeneration, defense mitigation, maximum health: A lot of different changes from the passive side of things and these are based on what archetype you've chosen. – Steven Sharif

Habilidades de combate

La idea para el combate es que las habilidades tengan su correspondiente contrapartida.

• El objetivo es que haya animaciones especiales para parar, bloquear y esquivar..

They can be a challenge to implement sort of really reliably so you might not see them on every evasion or every block, but we do want that stuff to show up. – Jeffrey Bard

Control de masas (CC)

Las habilidades de control de masas (CC/mezzing) incluyen enraizar, atrapar, aturdir, dormir y ralentizar.

• Habrá reducción de los efectos de aturdimiento, sueño y ralentización para evitar el bloqueo por aturdimiento.
  • La reducción de los efectos de CC aún no se implementaron en las pruebas de la Alfa-1.

Diminishing returns in regards to crowd control and conditions like stun and sleep and slows and that thing: Yes we will have absolutely diminishing returns. I think it's a necessary component to balance out classes that have high control ability. – Steven Sharif

• Estos ataques no serán como las habilidades tab-target. Esto es así para evitar combos desequilibrados con habilidades de apuntado (action combat).

• Los CCs duros son aturdimiento, derribos, dormir, parálisis, algunos enraizamientos, algunos silencios.
  • Estos CCs duros pueden incluirse en las habilidades orientadas al "action combat" ya que son ataques más complicados de realizar.

We're trying to stay away from hard locks as much as we possibly can. We want to have the system be very play, counter-play, counter-counter-play feel. – Jeffrey Bard

• Los CCs suaves están incluídos en los hablidades tab-target.

• Los efectos de CC no se aplican a los jugadores no combatientes(verdes). El objetivo de una habilidad de CC debe estar marcado (flagged) para sufrir los efectos de CC. Esto impide, por ejemplo, que los jugadores que inicien el combate PVP con ataques que aturden a jugadores no combatienes durante un pull.

• Algunas habilidades de CC pueden desmontar un jugador que vaya en una montura. En estos casos la montura permanecerá con su propia reserva de salud y otras estadísticas.
  • Durante la Alpha-1 las monturas no se separaban del jugador.

There's also going to be effects that just stun the mount or stun you on the mount. – Steven Sharif

• Las invocaciones del invocador podrán usar CCs.

Esta sección contiene información de las primeras fases de prueba. Se actualizará tan pronto como haya nueva información disponible.

Habilidades	Icono	Rango 1	Rango 2	Rango 3

Movilidad

Revamped Alpha-1 Mago Fireball ability.

The general approach that we're taking based on a lot of feedback and just good combat design in general. You know philosophy is that we want to give more agency in the hands of the player and the antithesis of that is locking the player down for really long amounts of time. The sort of concept behind that is like you could make an animation effects as glorious looking as possible but if it's taking away control of the player, none of that really matters. Especially the 100th or thousandth time you're using the spell you're tired of that happening you don't feel powerful: You feel the opposite of powerful. So we're trying to like give a lot of control back to the player while they're using these abilities so they can still control their movements, they can react simultaneously while they're taking actions; and we just want to get overall more of a fluid flow, I guess, of combat. And that's the general design philosophy we're using to approach the overhaul. – Tradd Thompson

• El sistema de combate renovado incluye animaciones por partes del cuerpo, en las que la parte superior del personaje puede quedar bloqueada por las animaciones de ataque con armas, mientras que la parte inferior puede seguir moviéndose libremente.
  • La movilidad viene determinada por el peso del arma utilizada.
• La mayoría de las habilidades en Ashes of Creation se pueden lanzar mientras el personaje se mueve. Algunas habilidades pueden ralentizar al personaje durante el lanzamiento, pero sólo en contadas ocasiones el jugador quedará inmovilizado..
  • Las habilidades con mayor poder pueden requerir que el lanzador permanezca inmóvil mientras las canaliza. Esta es una mecánica de riesgo contra recompensa.

Most abilities you'll find in Ashes of Creation are capable of being cast while moving. Some of those abilities might slow your movement during the cast, but you can continue to move. Very rarely, and depending on obviously the importance of the ability or the power level of that ability, you might be rooted in place. So, for example, the AoE ability [Chains of Restraint] has a lot going on. It has damage ticking over time, it is an area of effect, it also has a status condition application; and in those instances the player character gets rooted. – Steven Sharif

• Unreal Engine 5 ha permitido mejorar las formas de movimiento, como agacharse, inclinarse y agacharse.
  • Agacharse puede o no estar en el juego.
• La habilidad de tumbarse no estará en el juego.
• Moverse hacia atrás probablemente no afecte al bloqueo ni a la parada .
• La velocidad de movimiento del jugador durante el combate está balanceada tanto para PvE como para Pvp.

There's a balance in the game design between your movement speed on attack and the movement speed of your opponent. When you have a game that is both PvE centric as well as PvP centric, you have to make sure that combat is blended for both approaches; and we can always run into problems where, if you're significantly hampered in your movement speed, that has an effect on how we expect player versus player engagements to interact; and we don't want to restrict a player's ability to be mobile if they're the target of an attack. And as a result of that we need to make sure that we don't restrict the movement abilities of the player who is doing the attacking as well. So we want it to be relatively free for you to stay with each other. Your opponents move around the battlefield together and if we're hampering you on the attack action, we have to then implement some type of snare, or slow, or cc effect essentially on your opposing target; and that's not the approach we want to take for for PvP. – Steven Sharif

Q: If a ranger is super mobile, what are the melee's options in order to catch them?

A: Different class kits will provide different gap closers. They'll provide different mobility skills. They'll have lockdowns. They'll have chains to pull back. They'll have a lot of different things in the rotation. That's part of what an MMORPG experience is. You're not just restricted to three or six skills, you have a rotational suite; and depending on the type of challenges you face is going to help determine which of those rotations you spec into from your skill tree. – Steven Sharif

Esquivando

Esta traducción puede estar desactualizada.

Esquivando in Alpha-1 early combat.

Another thing that's important about these action combats is the ability to dodge and moving out of the way of certain skill shots. – Steven Sharif

Los movimientos de evasión como esquivar y moverse, estarán presentes en el combate de Ashes of Creation combat.

• Los desarrolladores están considerando incluir la esquiva en un subconjunto de habilidades universales que se apliquen a todas las clases.
  • Anteriormente, las habilidades de esquiva como rodar se incluían en los conjuntos de habilidades de acción de classes ágiles como el pícaro o el Guerrero.
  • Los desarrolladores probarán el uso de mecánicas de energía independientes para las habilidades universales en el Alpha-2.

• La esquiva no empleará I-frames (invincibility frames), pero puede afectar a las estadísticas de precisión y mitigación cuando se utilice.
  • Anteriormente se afirmó que el combate híbrido podría contar con auténticas habilidades de evasión relacionadas con el combate orientado a la acción y también con I-frames que se aplicarían en el "tab target".

So you see an animation windup that's a telegraph on what's coming; and then you have response actions that you can take as a result of that in order to dodge, weave, move, do whatever. It is both a combination of what your rotation is but also how you have reaction abilities ready to go that you save for certain circumstances that are important. – Steven Sharif

Bloqueo activo

Tanque active blocking with a Shield in Alpha-2.

The shield version would probably be better but you'd still be able to parry or whatnot with a two-handed weapon, or even maybe a dual wield. – Tradd Thompson

Clérigo active blocking with a Shield in Alpha-2.

El bloqueo activo es una habilidad universal que pueden utilizar todas las clases.

• El bloqueo activo estará presente en la Alpha-2.
  • Los desarrolladores probarán el uso de mecánicas de energía independientes para las habilidades universales en la Alpha-2, como el mana y la estamina.

Active blocking might be an ability that- it's universal, of course it's universal- but it might be consuming mana; and you'll be able to adjust that mana consumption based off of your passive spec into your skill trees. In addition, it might also consume stamina, where that's something we're going to be testing as part of Alpha-2. – Steven Sharif

• Los escudos on mejores para el bloqueo activo, pero cualquier arma cuerpo a cuerpo también se puede utilizar para bloquear con una mitigación menor.

Q: How are you designing encounters around active blocking? Will it be situational use, or would I expect to be laying on my block keybind for most of the fight to prevent getting deleted by bosses?

A: It depends really on the type of adversary you're facing. Some of them are going to have indicators or tells that a big attack is coming. It's an animation wind up where you'll have an opportunity to use active block in very unique situations that are based on timing and additional mitigation for those incoming one-off attacks. In other occasions you'll be able to use it off of rotational cooldowns, or if you're waiting for a particular ability or you're during the use of your Aegis. There's different situations for when active block is a relevant use-case. – Steven Sharif

• Anteriormente, los desarrolladores no habían completado los detalles de los sistemas de bloqueo activo y se decantaban por una mitigación del daño universal más tradicional orientada a los buff para el MMO, además de considerar la interacción entre el bloqueo basado en acciones y una estadística de bloqueo pasivo.
  • El escudo del Paladin's Might en Ashes of Creation Apocalypse tenía su propia casilla de impacto y puntos de vida (PV), que podían bloquear proyectiles de forma activa.

Generación de agro/amenaza

Esta traducción puede estar desactualizada.

La Amenaza (Aggro/Hate) se genera en función del daño infligido, la curación realizada, y los modificadores de ciertas habilidades.

• En PvE, el agro contra personajes jugadores se basa en una tabla de odio.
• En Pvp, el aggro puede forzar el cambio de objetivo al tanque. Durante las pruebas se pedirán opiniones al respecto.

If we think about PVP settings and the role of taunt or hate, a lot of times for tanks in the MMOs that I've played- where you have a PvE and PvP scenario- those types of hate generation abilities don't really have cross application into the PVP realm; and that can feel bad, because typically a tank build-out can be delegated around how I generate hate; and if it has no cross application into PvP then effectively you're creating a class composition that just is not relevant in half of the game, or in that area of the game. So when we talk about how we're going to apply hate to player targets or taunt to player targets, sometimes that can move into the realm of target switching, or the ability to demand that target on the tank in a PvP scenario as well. That's something that we need to get player feedback on, because there's a lot of strong emotions around that type of mechanic. I for one am a big proponent of that. I think it's interesting. I think that it plays into the role of the tank and that it it hits a class fantasy that most tank players want to feel. And I think however on the flip side of that, it is a source of control; and anytime you're under the effects of some source of control, it's going to be a feel bad moment for the target that's being controlled. So that's why I think it generates a lot of feelings on both sides of the aisle. – Steven Sharif

• "Detargeting" es el acto de eliminar el odio/amenaza/aggro de un enemigo.
• Habrá una habilidad de provocar disponible en niveles más altos de lo que se ha visto hasta ahora en el Alpha-2.
  • En las pruebas de la Alpha-0 había una habilidad de taunt de un solo objetivo, llamada odio.

Q: There were a lot of concerns about threat [in the Alpha-2 Tank preview video]. A lot of people didn't understand how holding threat works, because you weren't holding threat at some point.

A: It's important to remember that these previews are done at a very low-level, so these are low-level skills and abilities that the archetypes have available to them; and so because of that, some of the functionality from these abilities they don't necessarily perform as well as you would want them to in a later stage of the game for that role. Now also keep in mind that balance is a perspective that needs to be incorporated also. So, threat is generated based off of a few factors: It's based off of damage done, it's based off of healing done, it's based off of threat generation modifiers that are on abilities. Now the tank in this situation I believe has two abilities that are going to generate additional threat. They have the slicing- the number two ability; and then they also have the shout ability. Both of those are creating additional threat. But with that being said, we need to tune probably those abilities up a little bit to contend with the DPS that's coming both from the ranger and with the heals that are coming out of the cleric. – Steven Sharif

Habilidad	Icono	Rango 1	Rango 2	Rango 3

AoE skills

AoE skills will have some form of diminishing returns that will be tuned based on testing and player feedback during Alpha-2.

• Player collision inherently limits the number of individuals that can be affected by AoE skills.

We have a few ideas on how we want to approach AoEs. There's a vein of thought that is regarding diminishing returns [on] maximum number of targets. I'm not a huge fan of that. There is a diminishing return as it applies to damage conveyed. There is just the fact that we're a collision-based game and there's a limited number of bodies that can be located in a particular choke point, or in proximity. There's still things that we're testing especially as part of Alpha 2 that we'll likely be testing and want to get player feedback on as it relates to curbing the AoE approach of most raid comps; and a lot of different games have done a lot of different things to achieve that. We're going to be testing a lot of these different directions and finding which works best for Ashes. – Steven Sharif

Targeted skills

Targeted skills require either a soft or hard locked target.

• Soft locking is when the reticle moves over a valid target while in action mode. The targeting plate will appear slightly grayed out to indicate that this is a soft-lock target. If the reticle moves away from the target or the target moves away from the reticle, the target is lost..
• Hard locking is when the player uses right-mouse on a soft-locked target in action mode, or when the player selects a valid target in tab mode. The targeting plate will not be grayed-out to indicate that a hard-lock target is selected. Unlike soft locking, if the target moves out of the reticle, the target is not lost. Tab will still cycle between hard-locked targets in action mode based on proximity priority.
• Targeted skills will be greyed out if the target is not within a valid range.
• The developers will be testing additional targeting methods, such as target-of-target as well as separate friendly and enemy targets, most likely during Alpha-2.

Indirect fire skills

Alpha-2 Chain Lightning arcing around an environmental obstacle.

Indirect fire skills are targeted skills where the projectiles may path around obstructions that are not in line-of-sight, so long as the maximum distance travelled for the skill is not exceeded.

• This is a prototype concept that is subject to testing and balancing.
• A limited number of these may exist throughout different class kits.

Some abilities might have indirect fire. So, if you have let's say a Archer or Ranger who has the ability to select a Mage as their secondary class; and they might want to augment a Snipe ability in order to go around a corner like an Arcane Archer might have... Some abilities might not care about that line-of-sight. They might care the distance to the target around the corner, or the path that it's taking; and if it's outside that path is too long it might not be able to reach them of course. – Steven Sharif

Skill	Icon	Origin	Description
Chain Lightning		Mago	Release a powerful streak of lightning that hits your primary target and then chains outward to up to 5 nearby enemies from that target, dealing (175%🢆) lightning damage to each. Applies 20 stacks of Shocked to targets with Volatile.
Headshot		Ranger	Deals 175% physical damage to target enemy.

Templated skills

Templated skills allow blind firing (free aim) without a target while in action mode. If a player moves into the path of the attack they can be struck.

One of the differences between tab and action combat mode is you can launch projectiles in action combat mode as a blind fire option, and if a target or if something moves in the way between the time of that projectile launching and impacting either its max distance, or a piece of terrain, or another target, it's possible that players might move into that projectile. – Steven Sharif

• Not all projectiles can be body-blocked.

• Some templated skills may have template indicators, but in general will require the player to assess the correct range for the skill.

If it is a templated ability, which means it's skill-based to use, you'll need to get a feel for those distances; and that's some skill-based learning where you get an idea for what those distances are. Some of those will have template indicators but they'll be very in-world and immersive. We're not utilizing more UI-centric looking indicators, but generally the AoE templates are meant to be skill-based. – Steven Sharif

• Basic weapon attacks from projectile weapons are capable of blind firing without having a target.

Q: Why did you move away from arrows being projectiles?

A: We are still using projectiles, but we are using a locking mechanism in tab-targeting for those projectiles to home to the target should you have a valid angle in that perspective. The action side of that is that you can blind-fire projectiles. – Steven Sharif

  • Los bardos pueden elegir activar buffs que aumentan las habilidades de tanqueo, evasión, DPS y curación abilities en su área de proximidad.
  • Algunos buffs están relacionados con el rendimiento del bardo en combate: Si un bardo lanza un ataque de habilidad contra un objetivo, los aliados que se encuentren dentro de un cierto rango pueden recibir un buff temporal relacionado con la habilidad utilizada por el bardo.
  • Los bardos pueden ofrecer curación basada en proximidad o probabilidad, pero en mucho menor nivel que los clérigos.

Let's say the Bard is using a weapon, has a sword out and... does some gladiatorial looking performance attack and it looks so great. It inspires his friends around him to increase their multiplier on critical damage, and now they deal additional damage against targets for the next 10 seconds or 8 seconds. So, you're going to need to be active. You're going to worry about your position, the relation of the position of your party members to you in order to accentuate really what you offer the party. – Steven Sharif

• Los bardos tendrán un amplio abanico de habilidades entre las que elegir, como la oratoria, la interpretación y la música.
  • Los bardos podrán tocar instrumentos musicales, como flautas y gaitas.

• Se pretende que los bardos no se limiten al apoyo. Serán una "persona para todo", incluyendo habilidades de combate ofensivas y defensivas además de habilidades de apoyo y buffs.
  • Ciertas habilidades de Bardo de nivel superior utilizarán plantillas de terreno basadas en la proximidad que requerirán que el grupo o la banda se muevan dentro (y fuera) de las formaciones indicadas por la plantilla para obtener beneficios o buffs

Based on proximity, based on your mobility and placement within the battle you're going to have more significance. So it's going to be to a degree a tactical type scenario for those non-healing support classes to be cognizant of. You know, where on the battlefield they need to be positioned in connection with the group that they're trying to augment or support; and so that gives a little bit more tactical sense to these non-healing support classes that's more relevant to them than other classes per-se. – 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.

• Los bardos no serán la clase de los "tiempos muertos". Este es el papel de los espacios sociales dentro de los nodos.
• Los bardos tendrán "habiliaddes de utilidad" fuera del combate, como el resto de clases.
  • Recuperar PX durante el descanso no será una de estas habilidades del bardo.

In other games, Bards tend to be a relatively passive way of playing and that's really not the direction that we want to go with it. We want every class to be fun to play. We want every class to be viable. We want you to feel like you are doing something: That your moment-to-moment gameplay is fun; so a lot of that stuff is going to be based on combos, on reactive interactions between your party members and the mob that you're fighting, or the player character that you're fighting. There's going to be a lot of movement from the front lines to the back lines to help out and make sure that everybody is supported in the way that they're doing it; and that you are also being active in what you're doing. You're not just sitting in the back passively playing a lute and not having any fun. – Jeffrey Bard

Habilidades de clérigo

Los Clérigos tienen control sobre la vida y estarán relacionadas con sus habilidades de apoyo, que a su vez se relacionan con la corrupción.

Queremos que sean maestros de distintas armas. Queremos que sean versátiles, ya quieran ser luchadores a rango o cuerpo a cuerpo. Eso dependerá del jugador. – Steven Sharif

Habilidades del pícaro

Esta traducción puede estar desactualizada.

Todas las clases hacen aventureros competentes, pero los pícaros sobresalen en explorar las partes más profundas de las mazmorras y encontrar los tesoros más escondidos.

• Los pícaros tendrán habilidades de apoyo que les permitirán encontrar puertas ocultas, trampas y tesoros adicionales.
• Estas puertas aparecerán de forma aleatoria y en distintas horas del día para asegurarse de que estos encuentros no sean los mismos cada vez.

If you're in a party and you have a Rogue that's available, they'll be able to use that utility skill to discover these random doors that might exist in a dungeon. Now the way we make it so that it's not essentially the same door every time and it's just a first time thing and every time thereafter where that door's at, is these locations are randomly spawned throughout different times of the day so they'll change essentially as you go into a dungeon at different times. So it'll be important and relevant for parties to make sure that they have a diversity of archetypes available to them. And in particular for the rogues case because they can find those hidden type doors and then have access to different types of loot tables based off of that. – Steven Sharif

Habilidad	Icono	Rango 1	Rango 2	Rango 3
Stealth		This does not render a player completely invisible. Instead, there will be indicators that can help players "feel out" where stealthed individuals may be.

Habilidades del invocador

El invocador usa muchas de sus habilidades a través de sus invocaciones (también conocidas como habilidades de clase de mascotas). En esencia, el invocador juega a través de sus invocaciones.

You gain your summons from your summoner class as an active skill and then skills can be further developed with points. – Steven Sharif

• Los invocadores pueden realizar hasta tres invocaciones.
• Las habilidades de invocación aparecen en la barra del invocador.
• El invocador tiene control sobre su invocación, a no ser que esta se encuentra bajo algún tipo de efecto secundario.

Summons adhere to the owner’s commands, unless otherwise under ancillary effects. – Steven Sharif

• Los invocadores pueden realizar invocación de tanque, DPS o de soporte.
  • La elección de un arquetipo secundario impactará en el [[Roles|rol] óptimo de la invocación.
• Las invocaciones de los invocadores no son equivalente a las mascotas de combate.
  • Las invocaciones de los invocadores añadirán al poder invocador, al contrario de lo que ocurre con las mascotas de combate, que toman una parte del poder del jugador.

The Summoner archetype does not have that portion of power taken away when they summon their pet. That's part of their... power is their summon. – Steven Sharif

• Una invocación permanecerá activa hasta que el invocador genere una nueva, la invocación muera o el invocador la retire.
• Los invocadores no serán capaces de fusionarse con sus invocaciones (eidolons).
• Las invocaciones pueden subir de nivel mediante el uso de puntos de habilidad en sus habilidades activas.
• Las invocaciones podrán utilizar habilidades de control de masas (CC).
• Los Invocadores serán capaces de nombrar sus invocaciones, pero no podrán cambiar el tipo de criatura, que es parte de la placa del nombre encima de la invocación.

• Las invocaciones están sujetas al mismo sistema de estado de PVP que los jugadores, y compartiran el mismo estado que el invocador..

Summons follow the same flagging rules as players, if your summon pks someone, you gain corruption – Steven Sharif

Los invocadores pueden invocar distintas invocaciones, dependiendo de la clase y los aumentos que elijan.

• Animales.
• Espíritus.
• Zombies, esqueletos y otras criaturas no-muertas.
• Cadáveres (potencialmente).
• Algunos invocadores pueden hacer varias invocaciones a la vez.
• Otros invocadores solo podrán llamar una invocación, pero muy poderosa.
• Ciertos invocadores podrían solo invocar efectos y/o energías temporales.

Los aumentos de un arquetipo secundario pueden ser aplicados a las invocaciones.

For example: If your summon had a sweeping attack with a claw, or had the ability to bite an opponent, or rush an opponent; and you took teleportation, you could rush them similar to how I've given an example with the tank: Teleporting to a target instead. Or, its claws could combust on impact on a target dealing some burn damage that persists. Or... let's say your summon traditionally was some type of bear or bear cat, you could apply an elemental augment and now it could be a transparent flaming bioluminescent cat; and its damage would be fire based. So, that's how we want to influence the active skills with how augments apply; and that's how it would apply with Summoners. – Steven Sharif

Habilidades del tanque

Tanks will not be forced to have a shield but it will definitely be a viable option. – Jeffrey Bard

Habilidades de asedio

War Beast 3D render. 3D model by Jessica Jennings.

Las invocaciones de grupo son activadas por un líder de grupo con esa habilidad en su kit de clase junto con componentes adicionales de otras clases que formen parte del grupo.

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.

Hasta ocho jugadores con el mismo arquetipo primario pueden unirse para crear invocaciones de asedio durante un asedio.

• Los jugadores deberán estar en el mismo grupo o raid.

These are the types of systems that we want to put in place where groups of a single primary archetype can come together to summon these types of effects that play off of what the identity of that archetype is. – Steven Sharif

Invocador

Summoners can collaborate together during sieges to summon larger creatures, such as Golems.

We do have the concept of siege summons being a thing with multiple summoners being required in order to create that siege summon. In those situations your character becomes the summon. So you don't have an AI that takes over your previous character but instead the recipient of those additional spell effects becomes the actual summon itself. – Steven Sharif

• The target of the group summon becomes the summon itself.
  • Previously it was stated that the party-leader becomes the summon.

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.

• A siege summon will have an incremental size based on the number of summoners participating in that summon activity, with a maximum of eight.
• The number of summoners participating in the summon will determine its overall size.
• All summoners must be in the same party and the party leader must be a summoner.
  • The party leader initiates the summon and then takes control of it.
  • Once summoned, the party leader cannot be changed.
  • If the party disbands, the summon ends. There will be a grace period to handle disconnects.
  • The party may also contain non-Summoners.

Tanque

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.

Pre-alpha castle siege combat featuring a Tanque siege ability.

If eight Tank archetypes each use one of their summon wall abilities it might construct a larger wall that can divide two raids in a moment; and would require damage and block skills and abilities for a momentary lapse of battle between those two raids. – Steven Sharif

Habilidades de utilidad

Pre-alpha rogue climbing a Metropolis wall.

We have what are called utility skills and a lot of MMORPGS really only focus on active combat skills, but some of the favorite things that I've had as a gamer is tabletop RPGs like Pathfinder or Dungeons and Dragons, and there are skills in those games that are relevant to either your environment or the quest line; and they're a little bit sometimes "story mode". – Steven Sharif

Una habilidad de utilidad es una habilidad no relacionada con el combate que interactúa con el entorno.Las habilidades de utilidad se adaptan a la forma en que las clases interactúan y se enfrentan a los peligros del mundo..

• Las clases tendrán diferentes habilidades de utilidad, como detectar trampas y otros peligros. Por ejemplo: El hechizo de detección del mago lanza luz y revela peligros explosivos mágicos.
  • Ciertas clases son capaces de escalar/hacer parkour en ciertas áreas. Esta no es una habilidad libre. Probablemente estará restringida a ciertas misiones, localizaciones y objetos.
  • Ciertas clases (como los pícaros) tendrán habilidades de sigilo.

Q: What kind and how many special or unique activities can we expect classes to perform outside of combat, such as rogue's opening locks, tracking enemies as a ranger, or removing corruption from the ground as a cleric?

A: Just thirty minutes ago I was talking about those utility abilities like finding tracks, or cleansing poisons, arcane eye to reveal secret passages. The idea is how do we blend the traditional tabletop RPG role of utility and/or skill checks into the setting of a graphical MMORPG; and I think that it's both a complement of the skill kit that's available and how it interacts with the world for those curated or special designs within these locations. So to answer that question: that is intended- we've shown a little bit of that in the past and it is something that we want to make feel compelling and rewarding and viable as a use-case scenario in many different settings that you might find yourself in within the world. – Steven Sharif

• Todas las clases tendrán habilidades de utilidad de conducción y navegación.
• Existen habilidades de utilidad que pueden ayudar a los jugadores a descubrir caminos y entradas ocultas y que pueden llevar a descubrir misiones ocultas mientras exploran.
• Existen ciertos objetos en el mundo (como escaleras y toboganes) que ayudan a la movilidad del jugador..

We don't just have the approach of your class being reflected in your combat abilities but also there are utility abilities that certain classes have that other classes don't have. – Steven Sharif
