Уклонение

Уклонение 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

Evasion moves such as dodging and weaving will be present in Ashes of Creation combat.

• The developers are considering the inclusion of dodging in a subset of universal skills that apply to all classes.
  • Dodge rolling type skills were previously housed in the action skill sets of agile classes such as Rogues or Fighters.
  • The developers will be testing the use of separate energy mechanics for universal skills in Alpha-2.

• Dodging will not use I-frames (invincibility frames), but it may affect accuracy and mitigation stats when used.
  • Previously it was stated that hybrid combat will likely have true evasion skills relating to action-oriented combat and also have I-frames that apply to tab targeting.

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

Active blocking

Клерик, использующий активное блокирование щитом в Alpha-2.

Мы играемся с идеей дать всем универсальную механику блокирования, при которой щит, скорее всего, будет лучше всего, но игрок сможет парировать и двуручным оружием и с оружием в каждой руке. – Tradd Thompson

Активное блокирование присутствовало в Alpha-2. Щиты лучше подходят для активного блокирования, но для парирования атак подойдёт любое оружие ближнего боя.

• Разработчики размышляют о добавлении активного блокирования в набор универсальных навыков, которыми могут пользоваться все классы.
  • Разработчики будут тестировать использование отдельных механик энергии для универсальных навыков в Alpha-2.
• Ранее, когда разработчиками не были завершены механики активного блокирования, они склонялись к использованию традиционного ориентированного на баффы снижения урона как в большинстве ММО, а также рассматривали возможность взаимодействия между активным блокированием и пассивной характеристикой блокирования.
• У щита «Paladin's Might» в Ashes of Creation Apocalypse был собственный хитбокс и очки здоровья, им можно было активно блокировать снаряды.

Interrupts

Abilities with a cast bar can be interrupted during the cast.

• There are abilities to counter interrupts.
• Some interrupts are better than others.

Skill	Icon	Origin	Description
Bulwark		Tank	Bash enemies in front of you twice. The second attack temporarily increases block chance. You must have a shield equipped to block.

Время на убийство

PvP-сражения за караваны in Alpha-2.

Generally when it comes to finger in the wind we're around where we want to be for TTK and that's probably on the bit faster side of TTK for MMOs that we're accustomed to, but we're a PvX game. – Steven Sharif

Время на убийство (TTK) in Ashes of Creation will be a little bit faster than most MMOs.

• Previously it was stated that the TTK was expected to be around 30 seconds to a minute.
• The developers do not want one-shots in the final MMORPG.
• Average non-elite mob time-to-kill for a solo player is intended to be around 6 seconds.

In the MMORPG we really don't want to see any one-shots. The time-to-kill needs to be strategic and tactical. – Steven Sharif

Gear inspection/ Threat assessment

Этот перевод может быть устаревшим

На табличке с именем игрока будет отображаться иконка, показывающая надетый на нём комплект брони. Другие игроки смогут издалека увидеть эту иконку, выбрав игрока в качестве цели.

• На ней будет отображаться тип брони (ткань, кожа, латы), которой на игроке больше.

Можно выбрать игрока в качестве цели. Тип брони, который на нём надет, будет отображён на иконке рядом с именем, потому что, само собой, косметические предметы могут менять внешний вид брони. В результате могут меняться их силуэты. – Steven Sharif

• Рамка иконки будет показывать уровень и качество комплекта брони.
  • Также будет отображаться наличие усиливающих чар на снаряжении, помимо визуальных эффектов на зачарованных предметах.
• Разработчики считают, что если дать возможность игрокам осматривать снаряжение других игроков, это приведёт к «неприветливому поведению».

Когда вы видите, как к вам приближается другой игрок, внешний вид которого изменён в косметическом магазине, вам не сразу понятно, какой на нём комплект предметов — для снижения магического или физического урона, поэтому, по сути, чтобы убрать этот фактор, мы добавим возможность, при выборе этого игрока в качестве цели, уже издалека увидеть иконку, отображающую, какой на нём надет комплект предметов. Игрокам важно, с точки зрения оценки угрозы, исходящей от других игроков, понимать, с чем они имеют дело, если они активно проверяют это, и такая возможность будет присутствовать. – Steven Sharif

Crowd control

Crowd control (CC/mezzing) abilities include root, snare, stun, sleep and slow.

• All archetypes will have their own versions of CC breaks.

• CC effects do not apply to Non-combatant (green) players. The target of a CC ability must be flagged in order to suffer the CC effects. This prevents players from opening attacks that stun non-combatant players during a pull for example.

• Melee archetypes will offer various mobility and CC counters against ranged archetypes, such as the Ranger.

• Some crowd-control abilities can dismount a mounted player. In that case the mount would persist with its own health pool and other stats.
  • In Alpha-1 testing mounts were not separate from the player.

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

• Summoner's summons will be able to use crowd control.

Некоторая из приведенной ниже информации не была подтверждена разработчиками и может не входить в текущую дорожную карту разработки.

• There will be diminishing returns on stuns, sleep and slows so as to avoid stun locking.
  • Diminishing returns on CC effects have not yet been implemented in Alpha-1 testing.

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

• Hard CC's are stuns, knock downs, sleeps, paralysis, some roots, some silences.
  • Hard CCs may be housed in action oriented skills because they are skill shots that are more difficult to land.

• Lockdowns won't likely be tab-targeted skills. This is to avoid imbalanced combos with skill shot (action targeted) abilities.

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

• Soft CC's are in the tab-targeted abilities.

Combat stances

The use of weapon stances in game is likely.

RNG

RNG elements pertain to combat relating to stats such as Critical hit, Evasion, Blocking chance.

• RNG plays a role in both PvP or PvE.
• Action combat is far less dependent on RNG.

RNG is always going to play a role in Ashes of Creation whether that be in PvP or PvE, but one way to mitigate that is through the action system. The action system is going to be far less sort of dependent on those dice rolls and there'll be far more in your own hands. They won't ever completely eliminate that but it's a way for us to sort of reward skilled play versus sort of tactical strategies type play. – Jeffrey Bard
