Восемь архетипов в Ashes of Creation.[1]

Почему я остановился на этих восьми архетипах? Я чувствовал, что они воплощают равновесие между собой: боевым искусством и тайными искусствами. Я чувствовал, что это, как правило, основные классовые идентичности, которые существовали в MMORPG с точки зрения фэнтези с течением времени. Я имею в виду, что у каждого из них есть свой сегмент игроков, который интересует людей. Призыватели и саппорты, бард и целитель, и маг: все это тайные элементы, которые, я думаю, воплощают в себе многое из того, что мы можем сделать из активного способность точки зрения, к которой люди традиционно привыкли. Разбойник, рейнджер, истребитель, танк: я думаю, они представляют собой все боевые элементы боевых классов, которые игрокам нравится видеть в фэнтезийных играх.[2]Steven Sharif

В начале игры игроки смогут выбрать один из восьми архетипов, которые определяют роль персонажа.[3][4]

Мы очень близки к "святой троице" классов. Я думаю, что первичный и вторичный архетипы и их комбинации, создающие те самые 64 разных класса, нужны нам, чтобы в некотором роде размыть границы в этой стандартной троице. Также я считаю, что то, как мы разрабатываем классы, станет тем самым видом взаимодействия под названием "камень-ножницы-бумага", особенно при балансировке их вокруг взаимодействия группы против группы, или взаимодействия внутри группы; и использование системы аугментов позволит игрокам в своём роде выйти за пределы привычных определений в другую область.[5]Steven Sharif

Bard

Бард - это архетип в Ashes of Creation.[9]

Воистину умножитель силы, бард сплетает песни о славе и завоеваниях, вдохновляя своих товарищей на еще большие свершения. Бард знает тайные и могущественные слова, способен наговорить страшные кошмары или убедить врагов стать друзьями.

Барды - это роль поддержки, которая делает партию лучше в целом.[10]

Барды предназначены для усиления возможностей партии или рейда в рамках своего класса. Это усиление предназначено не только для DPS, но и для поддержки, для лечения, для получения урона, для передвижения. Бардов часто изображают как музыкальный класс, и хотя они могут быть таковыми, многие применения Бардов могут заключаться в том, чтобы просто рассказывать истории. Рассказ истории будет тематическим компонентом того, как Бард взаимодействует с партией. И эта история будет улучшать способности игрока. Это очень похоже на усиление баффов в партии, но вы не будете воспринимать его как "бафф-бота", с которым вы могли сталкиваться в предыдущих играх, где они хороши только для своих баффов, а затем вы выгоняете их из партии, и они сидят в углу и возвращаются через 30 минут. Эти баффы будут связаны с тем, как они действуют.[11]Steven Sharif

Bard skills/abilities

Bards вступают в combat со способностями разных направлений, не только баффами.[12]

  • Барды будут владеть широким спектром способностей на выбор, например wordsmithing, acting, и musical aspects.[13]
    • Барды могут играть на разнообразных музыкальных инструментах, таких как флейта и волынка.[14][15]
  • Барды будут иметь целенаправленные или случайно срабатывающие способности исцеления в гораздо меньше степени чем Clerics.[16]
  • Барды не будут "простаивать". Это роль social spaces внутри nodes.[12]
  • Барды будут иметь набор utility вне боя, как и все остальные classes.[17]

В других играх барды предполагают относительно пассивное направление игры и это не то направление, с которым мы согласны. Мы хотим что бы каждым классом было весело играть. Мы хотим что бы все классы были жизнеспособны. Мы хотим что бы каждый чувствовал что он что-то делает: Что бы каждый момент игры на том или ином классе был веселым; В общем много подобного будет базироваться вокруг комбинаций, на быстрых взаимодействиях ваших членов группы и моба или игрока с которым вы сражаетесь. Будет много передвижений во время боя с фронта в тыл что бы, например, кому-то помочь, убедиться что все получают необходимую помощь; А так же что ты активен в своей роли. Что ты не просто сидишь где-то на фоне пассивно играя на флейте не получая никакого веселья.[18]Jeffrey Bard

Барды могут выбирать баффы, которые поддерживают tanking, evasion, DPS и healing abilities в их направлении.[19]

  • Некоторые баффы завязаны на том, как бард отыгрывает в бою: Если бард попадает skill shot по цели, союзники на некотором расстоянии могут получить временный бафф, относящийся к способности, которую бард использовал.[11]

Давайте представим бард использует оружие, достает меч и... выполняет что-нибудь похожее на атаку гладиатора и это классно выглядит, это воодушевляет его друзей вокруг что бы повысить их множитель критического урона и теперь они наносят дополнительный урон в течении следующих 10 или 8 секунд. В общем ты должен оставаться активным, ты будешь следить за своей позицией, позицией своей команды относительно тебя для того что бы действительно дать своей группе всё на что способен.[11]Steven Sharif

Cleric

Cleric является одним из архетипов в Ashes of Creation.[9]

Мир полон опасностей, Клерик никогда не нуждался в друзьях. Они могут защищать своих союзников разными способами, а при необходимости и вовсе убивать других. Владея самой сущностью жизненной силы, они могут чувствовать сломанные и испорченные... Нити этой сущности соединяют все и каждого. Жрецы обнаруживают, что особенно настроены на нити, которые направляют жизненную и побуждающую энергию. Укрепляя эти усики нить, они могут исцелять и даже воскрешать раненых. Разрывая их, они могут красть энергию у своих врагов, обращая силы врагов против них самих в бешеном пылу битвы.[22]

Fighter

Fighter is an archetype in Ashes of Creation.[9]

The fighter is an expert in physical combat. A master of many weapons, this warrior strikes fear into the heart of his foes.[9]

The fighter is really a mobile physical DPS. So they're able to traverse the battlefield. They're able to close the gap quickly. They're able to deal damage from a physical perspective... The fighter is in your face. You try to get away from me I'm going to close that gap. I'm going to deal this burst damage to you and it really doesn't matter if I'm behind you or if you're bleeding or if I've snared you per-se. I am there. I am in your face. I'm doing this damage.[52]Steven Sharif

We want them to be masters of different weapons. We want them to be able to be versatile in whether or not they want to be a ranged fighter or melee one. It's going to be up to the player.[55]Steven Sharif

Mage

Mage Archetype. Alpha-1 Снимок экрана. Автор изображения: User:Asenscient
Alpha-1 preview Mage.[56]

Mages tend to have the most direct relationship with essence compared to others, and they manage that bond with a singular will. Passive essence is converted into useful forms and patterns under their direction, which can then take the shape of nearly anything imaginable! Mages can bend space, summon light, or set the very air ablaze – applying force in all its rawness, or in any shade of their elemental fury.[56]

Mage is an archetype in Ashes of Creation.[56][9]

Imagination. Destruction. Power. Mages cause devastation across large areas, and can apply elemental energies to break through any defense. While masters of mass chaos, Mages are also adept at focusing in on the foes at hand.[56]

As Verra brims with high magic, no party would be complete without a Mage. These masters of the arcane bring terrible elements to bear in devastating spells. If reality needs changing in some fashion, ask a Mage to help.[56]

As a Mage’s connection to essence develops further, their power will continue to grow, unfold, and take shape.[56]

Ranger

Ranger is an archetype in Ashes of Creation.[9]

The rogue is master of opportunity, using skill, positioning, and the environment to dish out frightening amounts of damage. In their downtime, they provide solid utility, helping their friends navigate dangers otherwise unseen.

Rogue is an archetype in Ashes of Creation.[9]

The rogue is more physical disable oriented: Applying bleeds or snares or having precision damage that's situational. Being stealthy. That's kind of how I view the rogue role... The rogue's like you don't see me, I'm coming in and boom I stab you in the back and I do extra damage because of it. Now you're bleeding and you're trying to snare away and walking away, and that's kind of a rogue in my opinion.[52]Steven Sharif

Rogue classes

Clase Primario Secundario

Rogue skills/abilities

All classes are capable adventurers, but rogues excel at delving the deepest dungeons and finding the most hidden of treasures.[91]

  • Rogues will have utility skills that enable them to discover hidden doors, traps and additional treasures.[92]
  • These will be randomly spawned throughout different times of the day to ensure that encounters are not the same each time.[92]

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 you know 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.[92]Steven Sharif

Summoner

Summoner symbol.[95]

The summoner is never alone. Two hands are good, but in the summoner's opinion, four hands are always better. With the right tool for every job, there's no situation they can't handle.

Summoner is an archetype in Ashes of Creation.[9]

Q: Summoner has been said to fill in the gaps in a party's role composition. What exactly does that mean in practice? Are they capable of speccing to be pure DPS, pure heals, or pure tank? Or instead are they supposed to be doing all three at a lesser level as needed?
A: It depends on the summon that they bring out. They will have a variety of summon options and they will have supporting abilities that enhance the role of that particular summon, or that can hybridize the role of that summon based on the ability they cast on the summon or support by attacking- by casting on the target either. So is something that is flexible based on the summoner; and then when you choose a secondary archetype as your total class, that- as a primary summoner- that will influence which category your summons perform best as a role. So if you go with a secondary archetype for your class selection that's more DPS oriented this summons from a role category perspective will be a DPS summons. You'll still have the flexibility, but it won't be as strong as if you had chosen a support or a tank roll and the summon benefits you would have as a result of those secondary choices.[96]Steven Sharif

Summoner skills/abilities

The summoner uses many abilities that channel through their summon (also referred to as class skill pets). The summoner is essentially playing through their summon.[97]

You gain your summons from your summoner class as an active skill and then skills can be further developed with points.[98]Steven Sharif
  • Summoners can summon up to three Summons.[99]
  • Abilities from the summon appear on the summoner's hotbar.[97]
  • Summoner has control over their summon, unless the summon is under ancillary effects.[100][97]
Summons adhere to the owner’s commands, unless otherwise under ancillary effects.[100]Steven Sharif
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.[105]Steven Sharif
  • Summons will exist until another summon is cast, the summon is killed, or the summoner logs off.[102]
  • Summoners will likely not be able to fuse with their summons (eidolons).[106]
  • Summons can be leveled through the application of skill points to their active skill.[98]
  • Summons will be able to use crowd control (CC).[107]
  • Summoners may be able to name their summons, but will not be able to change their creature type, which is part of the nameplate above the summon.[108]
  • Summons follow the same PvP flagging rules as players and share the player's flag status.[109][110]
Summons follow the same flagging rules as players, if your summon pks someone, you gain corruption[109]Steven Sharif

Summoners summon different summons, depending on the class and augments they choose.[101][111]

  • Animals.[111]
  • Spirits.[111][112]
  • Zombies, skeletons and other undead creatures.[102][112]
  • Corpses (potentially).[111]
  • Some summoners may summon multiple things.[111]
  • Other summoners may only summon one powerful thing.[111]
  • Certain summoners may only be able to summon effects and/or temporary energies.[111]

Augments from a secondary archetype can be applied to a summons.[113]

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.[113]Steven Sharif

Tank

Alpha-2 Tank preview gameplay.{[114]

As the heart of any good unit, a Tank knows their duty and strength lie at the front lines of the fray. All around them, the battle ebbs and flows with the steady beating of that heart. While some may channel essence to create fire or summon ethereal beings, Tanks manipulate essence to gird their bodies and reshape the battlefield. Against an unstoppable force, the Tank becomes an immovable object, with essence binding them to the earth. Tanks can pull at the threads of an opponent’s mind, manipulating their emotions and goading them into devastating tactical mistakes.[115]

Tank Archetype. Alpha-1 Снимок экрана. Автор изображения: User:Asenscient

Tank is an archetype in Ashes of Creation.[9]

Ashes of Creation tank will be a pretty classic one: One that tank players are familiar with; and I think that's what people want. We don't need to necessarily redefine what the tank is, but I think we can improve it. There's some things that obviously- you'll have your expected mechanics like threat management and generation, mitigation, control, battlefield control, CC effects; but then we'd also like to see more direct ways of protecting your party members too- exploring, like Aegis, that's just scratching the surface of that kind of thing; but being able to actually actively take damage for your allies, that isn't just manipulating the AI is another thing about tanks that I think a lot of people deal with other games, is they're they're pretty bad in PvP, like when threat is removed from the equation, what am I doing as a tank when players just ignore me? And so we want to offer more direct mechanics that cause even players- or encourage players to attack the tank to make it so that the tank can't protect their allies against you.[116]Tradd Thompson

All classes with Tank as primary archetype will be viable for tanking upper-end raids, dungeons and world bosses.[117][118]

Q: When it comes to tanking, will it be primarily the tank archetypes that will be able to tank, or can other people tank?
A: Other people can tank. It really depends on the setting. If we're talking high-end raiding or dungeoneering and playing in these areas that require a main tank, that role and responsibility lies to the Tank archetype. Now tank archetypes can obviously take secondary archetype selections and they can hybridize across different roles. That'll give them a bit of horizontal utility or horizontal progression to the augment system; and the best tanks are going to be the tanks that double down in that role.[117]Steven Sharif
  • The developers are considering formation-based mechanics that grant effects such as damage mitigation based on positioning of party members.[119]
Also formation-based type effects. For example, there's a really cool skill that we just began working on for the tank, where you have a vector required for players to be within behind that tank that mitigates damage incoming from a different direction. So there's directional-based type situations that require location of players in your party to be cognizant of those locations.[119]Steven Sharif
  • Tanks in general will have some control over encounters but will likely not have total control.[120]
Q: Tanks need to do two things: Mitigate damage and hold aggro. How will tank weapons, shields, and armor balance these two dynamics compared to other gear sets?
A: I think it does so in a few ways. I mean, obviously stack composition and your itemization choices are important. Making sure you're driving up your constitution-based stat allocation through selection of certain set bonuses and/or stat modifiers. But in addition, a big portion of that is not just through itemization, but also through your skill tree selections; and they don't have to be diametrically opposed. The ability to garner additional threat is predicated on your rotational selection and and how you are leveraging certain types of set bonuses that are catered towards that role specifically. So some set bonuses will have specific, very targeted benefits like additional threat generation. But in addition, if you're going to mitigate damage, you need to make sure you're focusing on your health pool: how much health pool do you have available to you? What type of damage are you mitigating- because we have different types of damage mitigation from magic to physical; and that's predicated on who your opponent is, where your adversary lives. Both of those are viable selection or viable strategies.[121]Steven Sharif
Q: What steps are being taken or considered to make the tank archetype viable in PvP engagements?
A: It's important to note that in a lot of MMOs that probably many of us have played. PVP can feel like a slapped on design consideration; and our approach is very holistic in the sense that we take into account the fact this is a PvX game. So when we're designing the class kits, we are making sure that mechanics and designs are targeting applicability both in PvE settings as well as PvP settings. That's very important. There are also special mechanics, like how threat is used in PvP, how taunts are used in PvP. Those things I think require testing, but we have some ideas that will make them relevant so that you don't have abilities that have no relevancy in PvE or PVP, but have some cross application.[123]Steven Sharif
