Приморский концепт из преальфы.

В игре будут узлы вдоль берега и на островах.

• Для этих узлов будут созданы специальные усиления и способности, услуги и цепочки заданий, связанные с водой и морем.
• Прибрежные узлы меняют таблицы появления близлежащего водного контента и могут вызвать специальные события.
• В портах прибрежных узлов будут начинаться цепочки заданий, связанные с океаном и ближайшими островами.
• Будет иметься возможность осадить прибрежный город с моря.

Цепочки островов являются частью морского контента Ashes of Creation.

Harbors

Alpha-1 harbor early preview concept.

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

Harbors are initially dilapidated points of interest that appear in coastal areas. Harbors have a significant amount of influence over the waters.

Harbors are where ships get built and launched and harbors are essentially dilapidated points of interest that progress when a node nearby, coastal or not, adopts that point of interest or that harbor. Then the node can contribute towards building up the harbor; and players who may not be citizens of that node can still go to that harbor and access its services. – Steven Sharif

• A nearby node, coastal or not, will adopt the harbor point of interest and will contribute to its progression.
  • Ship building, ship upgrades, and other services offered by the harbor can be utilized by citizens and non-citizens of the node.
  • Previously it was stated that harbors would be controlled by a nearby Деревня (стадия 3) (or higher) coastal node. It was also stated that ship workstations are only unlocked by the advancement of that coastal node.

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

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

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

Ship building

Naval concept art.

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

Ship building can be carried out by any player in possession of the right components, recipes, and an advanced enough node, coastal or not, with a harbor.

• Various professions can craft ship components. These components can be sold to other players.

• Ships may only be crafted or upgraded in harbor ship workstations that are unlocked by the advancement of nearby nodes. Previously this was stated to be coastal nodes.

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

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

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

Summoning ships

Корабли (excluding raft caravans) can only be summoned from a port or harbor.

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

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

Rivers can only be used by caravan rafts. Ships that are intended for the ocean cannot travel upstream in a river. It is too shallow. – Steven Sharif

• Rivers can only be used by raft caravans. Previously it was stated that ships may be able to be summoned in rivers (or other bodies of water) depending on the depth of the water.

• Raft caravans are capable of transitioning to and from land caravans at the point of intersection of land and water.

Raft caravans

Alpha-2 raft caravan in the Riverlands biome.

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

Raft caravans (also referred to as Naval caravans) allow the transportation of cargo over the water.

• Unlike merchant ships, raft caravans are capable of transitioning to and from land caravans at the point of intersection of land and water.
  • Raft caravans may only be used in rivers.
• Currently the stats of the raft are informed by the components of the caravan. This may be changed based on testing.
• By default, raft caravans have a racial appearance. Players will be able to apply caravan skins to change this appearance.

Naval NPCs

Naval NPCs exist in and around the oceans.

• Sailing Неигровые персонажи.
• Fortresses.
• Frigates or galleon ships.
• Raid bosses.
• Quest givers.
• General sea-based NPCs.

There's an NPC structure that exists out in the oceans. These take the form of sailing NPCs, fortresses, whether that be large frigate or galleon based ships, and they take the form of raid bosses. They take the form of general sea-based NPCs. There's treasures that you can find on land and explore out at sea, as obviously one of the missions is why you would be going out to sea. There's escort missions that you can participate in... Some of those are straightforward and interact but with an NPC to receive a quest for; and some of those have to be discovered at sea. So these are all things that are make that type of area in an MMO exciting. You don't just want to have water for water's sake. You want to have water because it's a different experience from a content perspective than what's on land; and in order to be a different experience you have to have that content. – Steven Sharif

Naval content

Snapchat Sneakpeak, 2017-11-9.

Naval content refers to content above and below the sea.

• Водные ездовые животные.
• Прибрежные узлы.
• Fortresses.
• Harbors.
• Island chains.
• Raft caravans.
• Naval NPCs.
• PvP в море.
• Quests.
• Raids.
• Корабли.
• Trade routes.
• Охота за сокровищами.
• Underwater dungeons.

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

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

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