Дома игроков

Этот перевод может быть устаревшим

Пре-альфа: Усадьба в эмпирийском стиле расположенная в наделе.

Игроки смогут исследовать и осваивать земли в любой точке мира. Станьте первопроходцем в дикой местности, постройте дом своей мечты и обрабатывайте землю, выращивая ресурсы и запасы. Или же оставайтесь с цивилизацией в безопасности - купите дом в пределах деревни и наблюдайте, как ваши инвестиции растут по мере того, как деревня превращается в город. Домовладельцы в нашей игре смогут развивать свой участок земли по своему усмотрению. Сосредоточьтесь на земледелии, животноводстве или создайте собственную кузницу. Вы сможете специализировать свой участок, чтобы максимизировать прибыль или комфорт - выбирайте с умом.

Пре-альфа: Дома игроков в стиле (людей) Эла от Michael Bacon.

Дома игроков - это принадлежащее им жильё разного типа: дома в городах, апартаменты и наделы.

Игрок может одновременно владеть не более чем одним жильем каждого типа. Дома в городах и апартаменты можно иметь по одному на сервер. Надел один на аккаунт.

Апартаменты	В интансах(локации отделённые от основного игрового мира)	На уровне деревни или выше.	50	Один на персонажа и на сервер.
Наделы	В открытом мире	На уровне деревни или выше.	Дотаточное количество места под застройку.	Один на аккаунт.
Дома в городах	Внутри узла	На уровне деревни или выше.	8	Один на персонажа и на сервер.

В: Наделы специально блокируются по одному на аккаунт?

О: Верно. – Steven Sharif

В: Если я создам персонажа на другом сервере, я смогу иметь жильё в узле или хотя бы апартаметы?

О: Правильно, да. – Steven Sharif

Benefits

Этот перевод может быть устаревшим

Дома игроков предоставляют ряд преимуществ. Каждый тип жилья предлагает различные преимущества.

• Возможность претендовать на гражданство в узле.
  • Дополнительные льготы предоставляются владельцам домов, которые также являются гражданами этого узла.
• Возможность размещать мебель и другие декоративные предметы.
  • Дома на момент покупки будут пустыми. Игрокам нужно будет разместить в них предметы мебели и декора.
  • Размер принадлежащего игроку жилья определяет, сколько предметов декора можно в нем разместить.
• Возможность размещения хранилищ для вещей.
  • Игрокам потребуется изготовить и разместить сундуки в своем жилище. Существуют ограничения на уровни сундуков, доступных в разных типах домов.
  • Различные уровни сундуков имеют разную вместимость.
• Возможность размещать производственные станки для создания мебели и других предметов
• Ценные декоративные предметы могут быть выставлены в любом месте дома
• Трофеи и награды за достижения могут быть выставлены.
• Доступ к общественной деятельности.
• Жилье может предоставлять бонусы, основанные на близости к дому.
• Игроки могут выращивать посевы на садовых участках своих жилищ.

Citizenship

Alpha-1: Регистрация гражданства

Недвижимость игрока предоставляет возможность заявить о гражданстве начиная с стадии узла — Деревня (стадия 3) или выше.

• Билеты на гражданство могут предоставлять гражданство при определённых уровнях узла. Решение об этой механике будет принято по результатам тестирования.
• Игрок может получить гражданство только во одном узле одновременно.

Вы можете объявить о гражданстве только в одном узле. К примеру, одна гильдия захочет, чтобы все её члены объявили о гражданстве в одной локации. При этом чем дольше узел будет существовать, тем больше будут награды за его захват, а некоторые системы, касающиеся развития ремёсел, реликвий(которые мы ещё не затрагивали), и другие системы будут насколько привлекательными, что с точки зрения стимулов это может заставить другие группы игроков нарушать союзы, или даже осадить город, чтобы забрать товары, которые в нём могут быть. Кроме того, у нас пока нет установленного лимита на гражданство в узле, но у нас есть мягкие лимиты. Каждый новый человек, желающий стать гражданином узла, должен заплатить сумму, которая увеличивается от количества граждан. Таким образом, существует мягкий лимит на количество граждан в узле, и может оказаться, что не все члены гильдии смогут поселиться в этой области. Таким образом, появится 2 псевдофракции внутри одной гильдии, те кто является гражданином узла, и те кто не являются. – Steven Sharif

• На одном аккаунте, на одном сервере может быть объявлено только одно гражданство. Возможно, лимит был изменён на одно гражданство на аккаунт

Ваш аккаунт привязан к одному заявленному гражданству на каждом сервере, что означает, что если у вас есть основной персонаж и два других персонажа на одном сервере, то все три персонажа будут иметь одно гражданство… Если у вас есть ещё один персонаж на другом сервере, он может иметь гражданство другого узла. – Steven Sharif

• Гражданство будет потеряно если узел будет разрушен. После чего игрок сможет стать гражданином другого узла.
• Гражданство узла не связано с членством в гильдии. Гильдии не владеют узлами.
• Игроки могут взаимодействовать с доской ратуши, что бы получить список граждан. Нажатие на гражданина показывает информацию о его: гильдии, социальной организации, религии, и его недвижимости.
• Игроку не обязательно объявлять гражданство какого либо узла. Такие игроки не должны платить налоги, но они потеряют преимущества гражданина.

Безопасность дома

Этот перевод может быть устаревшим

Система допусков позволит владельцу предоставлять доступ к отдельным частям своего дома.

• Возможность открыть дверь и войти в дом.
• Доступ к посевам.
• Возможность складировать и изымать предметы из хранилища.
• Разрешение использовать мебель или мастерские.

У имущества может быть только один владелец.

• Брак увеличивает размер семьи на единицу, позволяя поделиться доступом к дому.
• Для имитации совладения можно использовать списки доступа.
• Налоги можно платить по «джентльменскому соглашению».
• Мэры могут использовать казённые средства для найма НИПов-наёмников для защиты узлов во время осад.

Система будет основываться на том, что у такого имущества… вообще у любого имущества — один владелец, но, само собой, это не помешает игрокам взаимодействовать и объединять свои ресурсы для получения определённых игровых достижений. – Steven Sharif

Player housing/safe zones

Этот перевод может быть устаревшим

• Игроки не могут участвовать в PvP, находясь внутри (на территории) надела (кроме случаев успешной осады узла).
• Игрока нельзя атаковать или ограбить, пока он находится в своём киоске в границах узла.

Апартаменты

Этот перевод может быть устаревшим

Жилой комплекс Pre-alpha в центре узлемегаполиса.

Квартиры — это только внутренние (экземплярные) пространства внутри узла , которые предлагают некоторые функции жилья. Первые 50 квартир будут доступны для покупки, когда узел перейдет в деревню (этап 3). Дополнительные многоквартирные дома могут быть построены в городе (этап 4), если мэр решит их построить и если для этого есть свободный участок.

• Количество доступных квартир увеличивается как нормальная часть продвижения узла.
• Ранее было заявлено, что квартиры будут доступны в городе (этап 4) или выше.

Мэр может дополнительно строить многоквартирные дома, когда узел достигает стадии 4 на одном из строительных участков в узле, наряду с городами, получающими дополнительное статическое жилье и квартиры по умолчанию, как нормальная часть процесса выравнивания. – Steven Sharif

Наделы

Freehold in Alpha-1.

Three main purposes that freeholds provide are allowing players an opportunity to express themselves in a highly customizable fashion. So these are plots of lands that you have access to. You can build different types of buildings on. You can create housing and place furniture; and you can grow livestock and you can just own this piece of land. And one unique thing about allowing the players express themselves through this manner in Ashes of Creation is that it's in the open-world, so it's not an instance or a phase location that you are customizing. You're actually leaving a mark on the world that's representative of you as a player, as a character. Something you can you can roleplay. But importantly enough, when it comes to the economy, freeholds also provide the highest level of processing that's available; and processing is one of three primary branches that exist within the artisanship system. Processing is the intermediary step between what you gather in the wild and what you eventually craft via recipes. The the other primary purpose of freeholds is that they allow you to offer certain types of business services, because we don't just want to make freeholds delegated to the individual owner. We want it to have capabilities to interact with other players as they're walking past your freehold- as they're going to these hunting grounds and participating in quests or events that might be existing around; and that means that location matters for the freehold, because it's important to the business. – Steven Sharif

Alpha-2 freehold walkthrough.

We got some sheep; we got some cows and pigs; and we got some chickens back there; and we have a lot of space for different farmables. So we have a wheat here, corn, and then tomatoes over there as well. – John Collins

Наделы are sizable player housing plots that can be situated in baronies within the Зона влияния (ZOI) of a Деревня (стадия 3) or higher node, including the ZOI of any of its vassal nodes.

• Freehold estates may be purchased from other players, or can be obtained via deeds obtained by completing a quest and winning an auction.
  • Freehold ownership, whether purchased from players or via a freehold auction, requires the purchaser to have completed a freehold quest, which has a level requirement of 50.
  • The seller decides if their freehold should be auctioned or sold directly to other players.
  • Some freehold auctions will require node-type-specific bound currencies, others will auction for gold. This is intended to cater to players with different playstyles, who are progressing through alternate systems.

The idea is that we're not reserving freeholds for the top 10 percent of levelers, we're reserving freeholds for the top 10 percent across the multiple different play paths that exist within the game; and this spreads out that ownership across different playstyles. – Steven Sharif

• Freehold ownership is limited to one per account.

Housing takes several forms in the world of Verra. However, Freeholds are the highest tier of player housing available. Acquiring a Freehold is a major accomplishment, and it will take a large amount of effort and strategy to get a Freehold of your own. Since there is a limited amount of space available to place Freeholds in each node’s region, these are symbols of prestige for those who are able to acquire and maintain their Freeholds.

• Freeholds are approximately 1.5 acres in size, or roughly 100m x 60m.
  • The footprint of a freehold does not change with node progression.
  • Previously it was stated that freeholds were half an acre in size.

• The developers are expecting the number of freehold plots on each server to be in "the low thousands" depending on world state.

The number of Freeholds on a server will vary on a number of factors, such as how player actions advance nodes. At the moment we are targeting the low thousands for Freeholds on a server, but as we continue to test these systems during Alpha Two, we anticipate making adjustments.

• Freehold are subject to node taxes.
  • Freehold tax is calculated based on the number of permits issued for buildings on a freehold.
  • Freehold buildings that require permits will have additional upkeep costs.

• Blueprints are required for the construction of the freehold buildings that are used to process resources into processed goods.
  • The best processing can only be carried out on freeholds, so obtaining a freehold will require a large amount of effort.

  If a player wants to achieve a freehold they can achieve the freehold, however the amount of effort resources and time that's required in order to achieve that freehold is a large amount. It is something that is a monumental achievement for you to to get that freehold; and the reason why is because freeholds tie in very heavily to the processing artisanship aspect. Some processing can be done in nodes, but the best processing is done on freeholds; and we want to make sure that there's a little bit of a throttle or gate on the amount of effort that's necessary to achieve that influence over the processing market. – Steven Sharif

  • Inns and other player housing options are available that are easier to obtain for players who do not need the benefits of a freehold.

  Just because the freehold is very difficult to attain doesn't mean that you don't have a space for housing and furniture that you can achieve through our apartment system or an inn or the static in-node housing. Those are alternate methods as well but they do not have that aspect of the best processing is done on the freehold. – Steven Sharif

• Freeholds are intended to work with the family system.

• Events do not target personal belongings such as freeholds.

• The spread of corruption in the world does not impact the freehold system.

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

• Expansions and upgrades become available as node progression allows.

Freehold placement

Alpha-2 freehold placement.

There'll be a variety of predetermined parcels of land in each node's zone of influence; and once players acquire their freehold permit they'll be able to lay claim to any available parcel in the issuing node's region so- and by region we mean... the total combined territory of a node and all of its vassal nodes. So, if you acquire a freehold permit in the metropolis of a huge region, almost 20% of the map, you'll be able to lay a claim to an available parcel anywhere within that region. So it gives you a lot of freedom if you're able to acquire the permit from a metropolis. – John Collins

Freehold plots require a bound deed (permit/certificate) from the parent Деревня (стадия 3) or higher node in order to place the plot.

• Freehold deeds are obtained through completion of a Lord's quest to ascertain worthiness for lordship over an estate.
  • The freehold quest's level requirement is 50. The level requirement is subject to change based on testing.
  • There will be more deeds than estates.

That was for a time a lively debate on our design team about whether or not there should be a level gate essentially from even preventing the potential for ownership. The reason why I chose to keep it at level 50 for now is because there are alternate systems that provide access at lower levels through permission setting. So it's one thing to own the home, it's is another thing to access the contents and to continue progression. Let's say, in the processing profession, you might want to gain mastery in: that mastery process leaves the nodes at around level 30 in the leveling experience for a processing profession; and so one of the debates on the design team was whether or not we should reduce the level requirement down to level 30 so that there's a seamless transition from node-based processing progression and the Freehold capability of progression. – Steven Sharif

• Deeds may only be used to place a freehold if the deed holder successfully wins a freehold auction for an estate.
  • Citizens and non-citizens can bid on estates.
  • Bidding for estates within predetermined baronies was not mentioned previously.

You're going to see a little bit of change and this is one of the first ones: that these are predetermined locations that exist around the node or under its vassal structure that you will have the ability to bid on; and to give you a sense there, this allows us to customize a bit of those predetermined parcels, like a Sherwood Forest type of example. – Steven Sharif

• A deed holder who has won an estate auction may then claim the estate from within a barony in that node's ZOI, including the ZOI of any of its vassal nodes. Placement of the plot is enabled by using the deed item in a player's inventory to get a top-down view of the estate, then selecting the desired location for the plot.
  • Players can manipulate the orientation of their freehold plot.
  • Successful placement of a deed gives the player access to their empty freehold plot and shed.

It'll basically be an item in your bag; and once you get to your parcel, you claim that piece of land and then once it's claimed you'll be able to use the item to go into top-down view and layout actually exactly where your freehold will go on that parcel of land. You'll have a lot of freedom, so a lot that will be going through looking at your whole area of land you now own claim to and then deciding where the best spot to put your freehold in there would be. – Kory Rice

• Freehold plots must not be placed in close proximity to any of the following:
  • Pathing routes (Roadways).
  • Dungeons and other points of interest (POIs) regardless of advancement.
  • Event spawn areas.
  • At least ~100m from other freehold plots.
    • Previously this was stated to be ~150m from other freehold plots.
  • Hard terrain features, such as mountainsides or cliffs.

• The more advanced a node is, the more freeholds can be built within its ZOI.
  • Ample space will be available to place freeholds in the ZOI of a village node.

• Collections of freeholds placed in close proximity are still considered part of their parent node and do not become a separate node, other than via roleplay.

• Adjacent freeholds do not share any bonuses with their neighbors, but guild halls owned by partron guilds may confer benefits to surrounding freeholds.

Freehold buildings

Freehold building types.

After you build your house, you can build other buildings on your Freehold. Each building needs the blueprint to start the process. If you have a cosmetic skin you want to use on a building, this is used after placing the blueprint. Once this has been placed, the building will be shown in a non-functional, construction state. Players will need to provide the required materials needed to complete the building construction, for each building on their Freehold. No Freehold has room for every possible option, so players will need to choose how to develop their Freehold by choosing to build specific artisan buildings, business buildings, and creating room for livestock and crops.

Freehold buildings that can be placed on a freehold plot serve three main purposes.

• Homesteads.
• Artisan buildings.
• Business buildings.

Freehold buildings require blueprints and materials to construct.

• Sheds are present on empty freehold plots to provide storage for materials needed to construct freehold buildings.
• Some freehold buildings have multiple tiers, with different footprint sizes.
• Upgrading a tier will not change the size of the building in terms of footprint, but may increase in height.
• Basements in freehold buildings are to be decided.

Freehold taxes are calculated based on the number of permits issued for buildings on a freehold.

• Buildings that require permits will have additional upkeep costs.

Freehold building architecture is based on the blueprint for the building.

• Freehold skins are applied to blueprints matching the type of building: housing, artisanship, and business.
  • The vast majority of cosmetic freehold skins are used for the homestead.
• The freehold building blueprints must be obtained in-game first before the cosmetic can be applied.
• Players are not locked to the racial appearance of a freehold building blueprint.

The way we look at it is the freehold is your space so we want you to be able to make it look the way you want it to. – Jeffrey Bard

Freehold building placement

Alpha-2 freehold concept.

On the left we have some farmable animals- some livestock here in pens; and then we have in the middle there's a bunch of crop rows of farmable crops the players can have; and then there's a couple different examples of different freehold buildings you could have on your freehold: one of which is the house on the right and then some other freehold buildings as well, like it looks like there's a mill in the back there as well. – Kory Rice

Freehold buildings and other items/props can be placed on freehold plots (by the land owner).

• The homestead is the first building that must be constructed on a freehold.

• A permitting system allows for a specific number of different types of buildings that can be placed on the freehold plot must be acquired from the node where the freehold deed was obtained.
  • Freehold taxes are calculated based on the number of permits issued for buildings on a freehold.

• Currently freeholds have a combined maximum total of six artisan and business buildings that can be placed in addition to a homestead.
  • The number and type of buildings that can be placed on the freehold and the way these buildings get placed are subject to change based on testing and iteration during Alpha-2.

On a Freehold you can have your house, and up to six additional buildings. The additional buildings can be artisan and/or business buildings. Larger buildings may take up more room, reducing the total number of buildings that can be built on a single Freehold.

• Space that is not used for freehold buildings can be utilized for other purposes, such as livestock and crop placements.

• Players can manipulate the orientation of freehold buildings and items being placed on their freehold plot.

• There may be a grid-based system that freehold owners can use to place items/props and buildings on their freehold plot.

• Targeting dummies are planned as placeable props with functional mechanics.

Freehold benefits

Homestead size dictates how much furniture can be placed on a freehold.

Наделы offer the following benefits in addition to other player housing benefits.

• The larger the homestead, the more floors it will have and the more furniture can be placed on the freehold.
  • Certain furniture may only be able to be placed outside.
• Freehold businesses allow the freehold owner (and authorized individuals) to sell items, consumables and services to players.
• Freeholds are the only place that master and grandmaster processing is available.
• Players can craft up to journeyman level on freeholds.
• Lower tier gathering can be done on freehold plots.

Freehold security

Этот перевод может быть устаревшим

В обычных обстоятельствах игроки не смогут ничего украсть с надела.

• В результате успешной осады узла, на территории которого находится надел, хранящиеся на наделе предметы могут стать доступными для разграбления.

Игроки не могут участвовать в PvP, находясь внутри (на территории) надела (кроме случаев успешной осады узла).

• На территории надела или узла могут инициироваться дуэли, поскольку они считаются обособленными событиями, на участие в которых соглашаются обе стороны, и на дуэли не распространяется система PvP-меток.

По задумке, надел представляет собой безопасную область, если только город не будет разрушен в результате осады. Если город разрушен, надел можно грабить, и он превращается в PvP-зону. – Steven Sharif

• В результате успешной осады узла становятся доступными для найма НИПы-стражники, охраняющие наделы. В игру не планируется добавлять НИПов-стражников, которые присутствовали бы на наделе постоянно.

В: Мы обсуждали в чате, сможет ли игрок быть в безопасности, находясь в своём доме или вообще на наделе и не быть убитым другими игроками?

О: Я думаю, первоначальное тестирование будет учитывать территорию надела игрока, а затем мы примем во внимание показатели, полученные в результате тестирования. – Steven Sharif

Разрешение украшать надел будет только у его собственника.

• Ранее говорилось, что другим игрокам также можно будет дать право заниматься украшением дома без возможности забрать оттуда что-то себе.

Static housing

Purchasing in-node housing in an Alpha-1 village node.

Static housing provides non-instanced player accommodation within a node, also known as in-node housing.

• Players are able to purchase small one room houses (cottages) starting at the Деревня (стадия 3).
  • There will be 8 cottages available for purchase at the village stage.
  • The amount of static housing increases as a normal part of node advancement.
• The architecture of static housing is predetermined by the racial influence of the node's layout and style.
• Taverns and Player shops are not tied to in-node housing.

Static housing benefits

Static housing amenities in an Alpha-1 village node.

Static housing offers the following benefits in addition to other player housing benefits.

• Small garden sections for farming special types of crops.
• Crafting benches.

Static housing development

Static housing furnishings and home decorations in an Alpha-1 village node.

If the node advances players can essentially select an option on their house as they own it that they want it to upgrade to the next stage if the node advances or they can select an option not to upgrade it. So you as the node levels and larger homes become available, the town stage introduces additional medium types housing, the city stage introduces large sized homes, and in the metropolis stage introduces my mansion size houses each of which contain specific... allowances and allotments for different types of furnishings that have gameplay implications. – Steven Sharif

In-node housing can scale in size with the advancement of its parent node. This may be toggled on or off by the player.

• The Деревня stage offers small housing types.
• The Посёлок stage introduces medium housing types.
• The Город stage introduces large sized homes.
• The Метрополис stage introduces mansion size houses.

If you choose to keep the same size then the next stage will have an occupied small home. So for instance if at stage three there are 8 small home and you own 1, then at stage 4 there are 10 new small homes of which x are owned by previous owners, and 10 new medium homes of which x are owned by upgraded small home owners. – Steven Sharif

New property becomes available at each stage of advancement, but it will be more akin to what was available at the previous stage.

• Only the houses that existed at the Деревня stage will become main street mansions at the Метрополис stage.

Housing destructibility

Destructible castle.

You could be more precision oriented in the decision to attack a city. Let's say it's a rival node that's trying to reach a node stage five or something and you want to disable their ability for the religious system to progress so you target the temple during the attack, or you want to disable their scholars academy from reaching a higher level so that your nodes can; or you want to disable multiple buildings that allow for experience and quests to be undertaken by its citizenship, which prevents them from keeping up in pace of experience gained with your node. These can be more precision oriented and don't have to effectualize an actual takeover of the node. – Steven Sharif

Node buildings (including player housing) have hit points and can be damaged or destroyed by different systems.

• NPC-driven events that are a response to story arcs or node atrophy.
• Осады узлов and node wars.
  • Attackers may not be capable of destroying a node during a siege. Instead they may carry out precision attacks to disable specific service-oriented buildings within the node. These buildings can be targeted with siege weapons and bombs.
• Hazardous events such as tornadoes or hurricanes.
• Mayors have the ability to demolish constructed node buildings. This will have a node mandate cost and will require player buy-in via a vote.

Mayors will also have the ability, if they want, to demolish constructed buildings. So if they if they so choose they can destroy a building if they don't think it's needed anymore. But this will have mandate cost and a player buy-in votes. So we want to make sure that [the] mayor can't just go and blow up the whole node if they're trying to grief or something. So this is very important and impactful decision. – John Collins

If building maintenance is not paid, or a building is damaged as the result of an event or siege, the building will enter a state of disarray. Any Неигровые персонажи or services offered by that building will not be available until the building is repaired.

• Players must contribute materials to repair disarrayed buildings and restore them to an operational state.

If a node siege is successful, or if buildings otherwise take significant damage, they are destroyed and appear as rubble on the plot they occupied.

• Node governments must clear any rubble on plots before any buildings can be reconstructed. Any prerequisites for the building reconstruction must be satisfied beforehand.

  Buildings also live within a prerequisite system. So in order to build down the tech tree of what these buildings provide, as the node grows larger to access stronger building types, you may get a kink in that chain if it's destroyed and you'll have to stand that back up in order to support the service again. – Steven Sharif

• If the node is destroyed by a node siege, the debris field will contain spoils that are lootable by attackers or defenders.
  • Дома игроков that is destroyed during a node siege can no longer be sold. Furnishing and decorations are retained and can be placed again later.

Static housing destructibility

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

Following a node siege, static housing will be scaled back or destroyed based on the advancement of the node.

• If the housing was purchased at a higher advancement than the node currently is then it will be destroyed, otherwise the housing will be scaled back.

Apartment destructibility

Этот перевод может быть устаревшим

Квартиры могут быть разрушены в следующих случаях:

• Если их здание было разрушено во время осада узла, даже если осада не была успешной.
• Если мэр построил дополнительные многоквартирные дома в городе (этап 4) или выше, а уровень узла упал ниже этой стадии.
• Если мэр решит снести многоквартирные дома, все предметы и планировки будут отправлены владельцу по почте.

Freehold destructibility

Наделы may be attacked by any player for a period of two hours following a successful siege against its parent node. Freeholds can also be lost by foreclosure for not paying property taxes or other fees.

• Players and their allies may defend their freehold for this period of time.
• Structures and guards may be obtained to defend freeholds during this period.

When it comes to losing Freeholds like this, one person’s loss is another person’s gain. While there aren’t enough Freeholds in the world for everyone to have one at the same time, this cycle of players losing Freeholds creates opportunities for other players to acquire one.

After the two hour period of open combat following a successful node siege, any remaining freeholds will exist under a grace period for roughly 1 week where another node may take over the zone of influence of the freehold.

• The freehold owner will be required to undertake a quest process to have their freehold adopted by a new node if one exists.
• At the end of the grace period, if the freehold does not reside within the ZOI of a Деревня (стадия 3) node or above, it will be destroyed.
  • Materials and resources (including livestock) are able to be pillaged. It has not been decided which players get to loot the freehold during this period.

If a siege is successful, then the Node is brought down to Level 0, and anyone who was a citizen of that Node is no longer a citizen. Freeholds within the Zone of Influence are subject to a period of vulnerability. These Freeholds can be destroyed by other players during a period of roughly 2 hours after a successful siege. Destroyed Freeholds are subject to material loss, and blueprints for them are mailed to the player to utilize for future placement in order to allow the player to keep their Freehold’s layout and structure. Once the vulnerability period is complete, any remaining Freeholds will exist under a grace period for roughly 1 week where another Node may take over the Zone of Influence of the Freehold. – Margaret Krohn

Q: How many times a year do you suspect that most players will be moving residence based on nodes being eliminated from sieges?

A: There are a lot of variables that influence that answer. I'm not sure I can give an average, but what I would say is that depending on the political dynamic of a server: if a server tends to have more combat and/or sieges against nodes, that is going to increase the amount of opportunity for freeholds to be removed from the world and then replaced. I'm not sure I have an average. what I will say is that it is very important to remember that Ashes is not a PvP game and it is not a PvE game. It is a PvX game and that has a very specific meaning. It means that as these systems are developed as they are designed and they are integrated with each other: they are done so from a competitive viewpoint and how that system relates to both PvE and PvP. Freeholds are one of those systems very much so and it's because of the cyclical nature that we're attempting to achieve with the development of nodes and the destruction of nodes, the world is a rapidly and dynamically changing place really. So it's intended to be something that is constantly recycling and is leaking out different types of content and new content that revitalizes the player interest and stimulates new points of conflict or cooperation. – Steven Sharif

Player housing designs and decorations are retained and can be placed again later if the housing is destroyed during a node siege.

• Blueprints for homestead, business, and artisan freehold buildings, including progression and upgrades, are returned to the player.
• A possible design idea is for items such as furnishings to be boxed in crates that are accessible inside the new home.

Real estate

Players buy the deeds for housing from the node itself, or may buy and sell properties from other players.

• The developers are considering an auction-based method for listing new properties that become available for purchase when a node advances. Currently freeholds may be acquired via auction.
  • A grace period will occur before the housing becomes available for auction.
  • Bids will then be accepted starting at a minimum reserve value that is based on the number of citizens in that node.
  • At the end of the auction, the highest bidder will win the house.

• Housing will have a base price that scales with the number of citizens in the node.
  • There is no cap on the price of player-originated housing sales.
  • In-node housing will be at a premium, and is expected to be hotly contested.
  • The more apartments that have been purchased in a node, the higher the price scales.

• Дома игроков that is destroyed during a node siege can no longer be sold.

• Freehold plots may be purchased from and sold to other players, or can be obtained via deeds issued by a Деревня (стадия 3) or higher node.
  • The seller may decide if their freehold should be auctioned or sold directly to other players.
  • Previously it was stated that freeholds may not be sold to other players.
  • Players cannot be denied from buying a freehold.

We're establishing a real estate market that players can invest in and then sell within the in-game economy, but also they are a resource that's subject to removal through the sieging system as well, so there's a bit of risk implied there but the idea is that this is something for players to strive for. – Steven Sharif

• Housing ownership can default back to the node if the owner fails to pay their property taxes. A balance and penalties will be charged to the new purchaser of the home in the manner of a "foreclosure process".
• Players will not be able to exceed their allotment of housing in the game.

• Rental and leasing concepts are under consideration.

Taxes

When a node reaches stage 3 (Деревня) and a player run government has formed, all player housing will pay taxes.

• A player's tax charge will be determined by the number of structures built on their plot.
• Freehold taxes are calculated based on the number of permits issued for buildings on a freehold.
  • Buildings that require permits will have additional upkeep costs.

Maintaining businesses requires licensing and payments to the node your Freehold is associated with. This permitting system allows for a certain number of buildings to be constructed on a Freehold. Permits can be obtained from the same node the Freehold was certified from, and buildings that require permits will have an additional upkeep cost.

• Housing foreclosures result from failing to pay property taxes or other fees.

Housing foreclosures

Housing foreclosures result from failing to pay property taxes or other fees.

• Non-payment of taxes will put the housing into a default status. The player will have a period of time to settle the debt before the housing is foreclosed.

• The developers are considering allowing pre-payment of housing taxes and/or allowing auto deduction of tax from a designated location, such as their personal inventory or warehouse.

• Materials and resources (such as livestock) that were stored on foreclosed freeholds will be included in the auction for the deed to that freehold. Stored and placed props, such as furniture will be returned to the previous owner.

If you don’t pay taxes and other fines, your Freehold property will be foreclosed. When a Freehold is foreclosed on, stored and placed props like furniture are returned to the previous owner. Materials that were stored on a Freehold will be included in the auction for the Deed to that Freehold.

• Non-payment of the game subscription will also result in loss of player housing.

Inns

Alpha-0 Эмпирийцы village stage inn by Michael Bacon.

Inns/public houses are default service buildings that come pre-built with nodes.. Inns are also present in starting areas and as business buildings on freeholds.

Inns are something that are also available even around the starting areas before you have an opportunity to go out into the node zones... It provides players with additional storage, they have some limited furniture application that are on a per-room basis depending on the type of room you rent at an inn. – Steven Sharif

• Inns offer instanced rental accommodation, storage, and limited amounts of furniture.
• The primary tenant of the inn can invite party members into the instance and set access permissions for family members.
• Inns are intended to be the most accessible form of player housing.

Tavern rooms

Owners of taverns are able to rent out rooms. The quantity and quality of rooms scales with the level of the tavern.

• Bedrooms.
• Parlor games.
• Battle map rooms.

Housing decoration

Alpha-1 housing decorations.

Alpha-2 freehold homestead with furnishing and decorations.

Players may decorate their player housing and other types of buildings.

• Houses will be empty when purchased.
  • Players may be able to upgrade to pre-furnished sets when they purchase their home.
  • Pre-furnished sets will be almost entirely visual and aesthetic. Only items crafted by the Carpentry profession will have in-game functionality.

• Players may place furniture, artwork/paintings and other decor items in their player housing.
  • Items may only be placed in locations that are suitable for that item. For example: Statues, may only be placed in exterior locations (of Наделы and Static housing).

• Each size, grade, and type of player-owned housing determines the number and type of items that can be placed in it. For example: You can place only the best furniture in mansion grade in-node housing.
  • Building skins may change the shape of a homestead but the space available for furnishings should remain consistent.

  When it comes to if you put a cosmetic house on top of your normal house, those cosmetics should be similar in size. The shape will change, so maybe the room layout will be different, but it'll still be like a one-story building. – Margaret Krohn

• Characters will be able to interact with furniture items such as sit in chairs and lay in beds.
• Players will not be able to alter structural aspects such as windows and walls.
• There may be decor items that are representative of unique weapons that are available in the game.

Quality furniture can be crafted in-game based on the skill of the craftsperson and availability of recipes, components and workbenches suitable to craft them.

• Furnishing items with in-game functionality will be restricted entirely to those created by the Carpentry profession.

Your ability to craft more luxurious furniture comes with how much of a master craftsman you've become in the furnishing profession... This isn't like , I want my house to look good, I got to fork over 50 bucks in cosmetics... Players can craft in-game based on their dedication and focus in that aspect the artisan tree. – Steven Sharif

• Prized items such as achievements and trophies may be displayed.

Housing designs/blueprints

Player housing designs and decorations are retained and can be placed again later if the housing is destroyed during a node siege.

• Blueprints for homestead, business, and artisan freehold buildings, including progression and upgrades, are returned to the player.
• A possible design idea is for items such as furnishings to be boxed in crates that are accessible inside the new home.

План и стиль узла

Расовая архитектура одного и того же узла этапа «деревня» (этап 3) на разных серверах. Влияние гномов Дюнир (вверху). Влияние людей Кэлар (внизу). Alpha-1 Не-NDA Снимок экрана.

План и архитектура в пределах каждой зоны развития узла определяются расой, оказавшей большее влияние. К примеру, для узла, находящегося на 3 этапе развития, на которое больше всего повлияла раса Пи'Рай, станет Пи'Райской деревней с Пи'Райской архитектурой. Большая часть неигровых персонажей будут эльфами Пи'Рай, предлагающими задания с Пи'Райской сюжетной линией. – Margaret Krohn

Очки опыта узла, привнесённые каждым персонажем, помечаются идентификатором расы и не только. При развитии узла, раса, привнёсшая большее количество очков опыта узла, определяет его стиль и культуру. Изменения стиля и культуры могут происходить на каждом этапе развития узла. К примеру, если узел достигает 2 этапа - привал - и 51% очков опыта было привнесено персонажами расы Рен'Кай, то он станет Рен'Кайским узлом 2 этапа. Если тот же узел достигнет 3 этапа - деревня - но 62% очков опыта привнесли Пи'Райцы, то он станет Пи'Райским узлом 3 этапа. Культурное влияние не будет ограничиваться только внешним видом и изменениями сюжетной линии - доминирующая культура в пределах зоны влияния узла будет иметь определённые бонусы. – Margaret Krohn

Расположение и стиль узлов определяются несколькими факторами:

• Окружающая среда (биом) и расположение узла.

  Способ построения системы узлов заключается в том, что они могут существовать в 18 биомах, но в то же время должны отражать культурное влияние этих культур, которые по своей сути являются частью определенного биома. – Steven Sharif

  • Узлы адаптируют локальную топографию в соответствии с эстетическими и механическими требованиями узла.

В настоящее время система платформы настроена таким образом, что она способна регулировать топографию профиля узла независимо от окружающей местности. Таким образом, причина этого в том, что мы хотим иметь гибкость в представлении схемы узла и того, как он по существу, как с эстетической точки зрения, так и с механической точки зрения с осадами узла - как он построен, и эта конструкция должна иметь возможность принимать разные типы рельефа. Так что это не должно зависеть от окружающего пространства. Это не значит, что окружающая территория не будет иметь никакого влияния. Так, например... мы немного экспериментируем с технологией платформы и размещаем узел на склоне горы, или на краю обрыва, или на чем-то, откуда открывается прекрасный вид. Естественно, мы будем это тестировать по мере того, как идёт работа над инструментарием узлов и над тем, как работает эта система платформы, но идея состоит в том, чтобы узел не зависел от окружающего ландшафта. – Steven Sharif

• Тип узла.

Что-то определяется областью, в которой они находятся. Что-то определяется типом узла. Что-то определяется расой, развивавшей узел; а всё остальное определяет мэр. – Jeffrey Bard

• Раса, которая внесла наибольший вклад в развитие узла, изменит расовый вид его зданий и НИПов.
  • Родительские расы не сочетают в себе культурные влияния. Например, Пи'Райцы и Эмпирийцы считаются разными культурами. Их родительская раса, Пирийцы, больше не существуют.
  • Изменение стиля и культуры происходит на каждом этапе.
  • Это относится ко всем узлам, включая замковые узлы.

Все узлы, независимо от того, связаны ли они с замком или связаны с обычной структурой узла, имеют культурное влияние, которое распространяется на строящиеся здания и NPC. – Steven Sharif

• Остальное определяется мэром узла.
  • В узле сможет завершиться несколько строительных проектов в рамках месячного срока правления мэра.

В: Сколько, вы бы сказали, в среднем игрокам потребуется времени, чтобы заполнить или застроить узел с первого до финального этапа — «метрополис»?

О: Прокачать узел до определённого уровня — один момент. А вот развить узел — совсем другой; поэтому предугадать среднюю продолжительность сложно, потому что в игру вступает сразу много переменных. Играет роль количество граждан, привлечённых узлом; какую деятельность осуществляют на его территории игроки на основе таких вещей как коэффициент налогообложения или выбранная специализация узла, а также выбранных для строительства зданий. Всё это оказывает влияние на «среднее время застройки» конкретного узла. Поэтому сложно сказать, какое время в среднем потребуется, когда на это влияет столько переменных. Но идея состоит в том, что если имеется определённый проект, который игроки хотят развить на основании того, на каком уровне находится узел, они могут завершить несколько таких проектов в рамках одного срока правления мэра, а его срок правления — один месяц. – Steven Sharif

Player housing grace period

If a player's subscription runs out, there will be a grace period before player housing is lost.
