• Embers were able to be be used in Ashes of Creation Apocalypse to purchase unique cosmetics or to purchase the Legendary adventure path.

• • Adventure paths in Ashes of Creation Apocalypse, allowed players to earn embers just for playing. Those embers will carry over into the MMORPG.

• Once used, embers cannot be refunded or exchanged for different items.

Alpha-2 looting UI preview.

In the group loot obviously there's a lot of functionality here that parties have the ability to customize. There can be loot master, there can be round-robin, there can be need/greed/pass that's applied on a per rarity basis depending on the party's choices. – Steven Sharif

Alpha-2 vote to change loot allocation method UI.

Ashes of Creation intends to use traditional loot rules, selected by the party or raid leader.

• Group loot rules are defined on a per-rarity basis.
• A majority of party members must vote to approve any changes to group loot allocation changes.
• The developers are considering using a double-tap interaction to loot all containers within a close proximity radius.
• There won't be auto-looting pets.
• It will be possible to kick a player from a party prior to them acquiring loot.

Yes, technically it would be possible for you to kick a player prior to acquiring loot. However, again because we are a game that relies on social interactions, there are reputations to be had; and if you acquire a reputation as a raid leader, or as a party leader, of doing something dirty like that, then it's unlikely you'll be able to Garner the support of future party members and/or raids to lead efforts against these raid bosses. – Steven Sharif

Free-for-all.

• Whoever is first to loot gets the loot.

Lootmaster.

• A master looter (or lootmaster) is a player designated by the party leader to decide how loot is distributed in a dungeon or raid party.

Round-robin.

• With round-robin looting, party members take turns looting.

Need or greed.

• This is a traditional need before greed system based on dice rolls.
• Since there is very little gear binding in Ashes of Creation, it's left to the party to deal with players who excessively roll Need on loot.

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

Bidding system.

• Intrepid are investigating a potential bidding system, which allows players to bid on items instead of rolling for them.
  • The highest bidder wins the item.
  • The gold then goes into a pool that is split among the rest of the party members.

Subscription payment

Intrepid Bucks earned through the Referral program can be used to reduce subscription costs (to zero).

• In-game currency will not be able to be used to purchase subscription time. This may change in the future.

We want to make sure that there's no "interactability" between any type of pay-to-win scenario where our players can exchange those in-game types of currencies to pay for subscriptions. – Steven Sharif

Item rendering

Items that are dragged out of a player's inventory are destroyed.

• Allowing player-dropped items (such as Снаряжение and Currency) to exist in the world is likely not going to be allowed.

Game masters

Game masters (GMs) will be present and active on Ashes of Creation servers.

On the customer service side, we do plan to have in game GMs. We do plan to service people in the best way possible. And we will grow our service team as much as we need as our player base grows. – Margaret Krohn

The direction that I'm taking Intrepid as a company in is that a significant portion of the revenue created by the game goes into not only creating additional content and updates for the game but also goes into I think caretaking, as I like to call it; and that caretaking is multiple things: It's having active and present GM's on servers. It's having a an interacting community team that is always present and on-call for participating in forum discussions and streams and updates. – Steven Sharif

• There will be a standard escalation system, where different actions are taken based on the seriousness of each infraction. Actions could range anywhere from being stripped (of the illegitimate items or currency) to being banned for a period of time, or being permanently banned.

Following a standard approach to an escalation system where certain infractions are immediate and automatic bans and some infractions provide a path forward where action is taken that might ban the account or strip the account or provide some chat bans or the ability to play over a week or so... If you buy gold and depending on the seriousness of the infraction you could go anywhere from being stripped and to being banned for a period of time to being permanently banned. – Steven Sharif

• Botters, cheaters, gold sellers, and RMTers, will face harsh penalties from the GM and community teams.

When a player takes their play experience to the point of harassing another player, and doing so on a repetitive basis, in order to diminish their play experience, it is a ticketable offense. If you are following around a streamer or you're following around a player and your intent is to keep them from playing the game or to force them to quit, that is a dirty player mindset. It's a bad player mindset. It's a griefer's mindset. It's not something that's desired in the ecosphere in the community of Ashes of Creation. And as a result, it is a serviceable customer service situation. That is where warnings are given and actions can be taken against the account holder of an individual whose sole purpose is to disrupt and affect negatively the gameplay experience of the game. – Steven Sharif

• Players that work outside of the game design to grief or harass other players are actionable by customer services.
  • For example, using abilities to repeatedly draw aggro from another player who is engaging with monsters is an actionable customer service ticket.

I believe that so far in development we have demonstrated the level of customer service and community engagement that will be on display after our live launch. You are right however in saying that many of these problems that can arise on the fringe of certain systems will require an active GM support team available to address problems that the user base encounters

• The volunteer moderator program will continue (post-launch).

Системы безопасности

Этот перевод может быть устаревшим

Начиная с альфы-0 для противодействия читерам, эксплойтам, ботам, продаже золота, дупликации предметов и других явлений, влияющих на экономику, в игре будут присутствовать системы безопасности.

• Эти системы собирают данные игроков и помечают ненормальную активность для проверки. В комбинации с функциями сообщений игроками о нарушениях, они в реальном времени генерируют heatmap, обращающую внимание на необычное поведение.

Мы ведь уже встроили в игру с самого начала по сути поведенческие метрики. Итак, в игре, когда игрок делает обычные вещи и получает обычное золото, это все хорошо, но если в учетной записи игрока начинают появляться идентификаторы предметов, которые выходят за рамки нормы, например; большое количество золото или важные легендарные предметы, что он делает в бэкэнде, он этим помечает учетную запись для просмотра, чтобы мы могли посмотреть, откуда взялся этот предмет. Это исходит от известного продавца золота, или от помеченного бота, или от кого-то еще; а потом мы исследуем. Таким образом, мы будем очень жестко относиться к способностям игроков разрушать системы естественной экономики с помощью RMT или ботов. – Steven Sharif

• Игроки, пойманные за использованием читов, будут заблокированы.
