Corruption
Corruption in Ashes of Creation refers to:
- 玩家腐化 gained through the PvP flagging system.[2]
- Corruption tarnishes the character’s spiritual essence. Their ability to utilize the Verra’s magic found within them is diminished.[3] – Steven Sharif
- Corrupted Essence is the negative aspect of The Essence, spread by The Ancients during the Apocalypse (世界觀).[4][5] This form of corruption is present in Corrupted areas/zones that evolve with node progression.[6][7][8]
- Corruption is a representation of The Ancients' magic: The Ancients hatred. The Ancients desire to strike back at the creation of what their the gods who banished them to the void have tried to accomplish on Verra. And so corruption is this influence of The Essence that permeates around locations in the world and tries to pervert what that creation really is.[9] – Steven Sharif
A great calamity
Ashes of Creation Apocalypse lore
This lobby area where you see players load into- this is unfinished- but this will be one of the capital cities that you are about to enter through the great divine gateways... You're trying to flee; and in this particular game mode you are a part of some unlucky few who didn't quite make it out. And unfortunately after entering the great divine gateway fell back to the planet.[10] – Steven Sharif
Ashes of Creation Apocalypse lore takes place during the exodus from Verra.[10][11][12]
- Some unlucky citizens didn't quite make it through the gateways in time and fell back to the planet to fight for survival.[10] This underpins the battle royale mode.[11]
- Certain citizens are fighting for control over Castles that they believe to be last bastions of defense against the forces of corruption. This underpins the castle siege mode.[11]
- The last stand against the forces of corruption takes place in the horde mode.[11]
Initially you're playing the Battle Royale you're a part of the last group of survivors to try to leave Verra. And as you're leaving you get cut off. The slipstream ends and you start falling back to the planet. Now the activities that occur and the fighting amongst yourselves is a result of the influence of corruption: Corrupting your soul basically; and as we move into the Castle Siege mode that's where you see the survivors now trying to seek refuge in some of the last defendable bastions of of society. So you're fighting over those for your families and your friends to get into that keep to try to ride out the storm so to say; and that's what the Castle Siege is predicated on. Then moving into the Hordes is this is now the final showdown. How long can you last? And that's the narrative behind Apocalypse as a whole.[13] – Steven Sharif
Ashes of Creation Apocalypse lore is split into chapters.[13]
- Chapter 1 is called The Exodus. It takes part in the initial stages of the fall and sets the scene for upcoming chapters.[13]
What happened before you came back? What did your ancestors have to go through? What did these civilizations have to endure? ... You get to experience the world of Ashes of Creation. You get to take a peek under the hood of the art assets and the style that that art will be when you play the game; and at the same time while you're doing all of that and we're hitting the servers with as many people as possible, we are continuing production and implementing new art; and we are updating those those chapters of this story; and that's what each season so speak is called for us is a chapter. In fact the first chapter of Apocalypse will be titled the Exodus. So chapter one is the Exodus and players will have an opportunity to earn unique rewards in each chapter. So that chapter's period of time is roughly ten weeks- between eight and twelve. We'll see how those go, but right now it's set for ten weeks; and every ten weeks you're going to see an introduction of new content.[13] – Steven Sharif

玩家腐化
累積腐化時，你有機會失去完整的道具、武器、護甲之類難以入手的物品。另外，為了防止玩家創建一個 PvP 專用角色，擊殺愈多玩家，將會累積愈多腐化，PvP 能力亦會愈低。若你在野外擊殺了大概二十個玩家... 你將再無法進行 PvP，你將需要做點事來移除腐化。另一方面是，擊殺等級遠低於你的非戰鬥員玩家時，你將會獲得較多腐化，以致於你不會想擊殺一名等級一的玩家。[16] – Steven Sharif
戰鬥員 (紫色) 玩家進行 PvP 擊殺非戰鬥員 (綠色) 玩家時，會被標記成腐化 (紅色)。[2]
- 沒有風險之下獲得的獎勵都是毫無意義的... 腐化一詞只是用來代表風險。[19] – Steven Sharif
- 因為只有是隊友才能看見對方的生命值，你將不能準確預測多少傷害會擊殺目標玩家，這便是另一個增加風險的因素。[20] – Steven Sharif
- 腐化值伴隨着腐化懲罰。[21] 腐化值愈高：
- 連續擊殺十名玩家時，你或會開始感到技能的效果大大減弱。在能夠實際測試這個設計和相關設定前，我不想提供任何實際數字或曲線，避免玩家進行推論演算。可是能力減弱背後的目的不是要限制玩家遊戲的樂趣，而是將「互相讓步」和「風險與回報」融入遊戲：不斷累積腐化的風險不僅是掉落裝備和受到更嚴重的死亡懲罰，更是會漸漸失去進行 PvP 的能力。[24] – Steven Sharif
- 累積愈多腐化，PvP 能力減弱效果愈大，且最終將會失去所有裝備，PvP 能力亦會大大減低。[26] – Steven Sharif
- 腐化效果將會顯示在角色身上。[27]
- 非戰鬥員即使攻擊腐化玩家，也不會被標記成戰鬥員。[28]
- 腐化玩家身處的位置將會顯示在]的地圖上。[17][2]
- 腐化玩家擊殺賞金獵人時，將不會增加腐化值。[29][30]
- 與賞金獵人戰鬥時，腐化玩家將不受戰鬥懲罰影響。[29]
- 腐化玩家將無法進行交易、以及存放物品到公共倉庫。[31]
移除腐化
移除腐化的主要方法是死亡。要移除所有腐化效果，可能需要死亡數次。[33][28]
- 死亡將移除大部分腐化值。[34]
- 獲得經驗值將也可以減少腐化值。[33]
- 在你移除腐化時嘗試捕捉你，這為賞金獵人帶來一個有趣的體驗。[33] – Steven Sharif
- 腐化玩家或可以透過任務來減少玩家擊殺數，讓此後可以累積較少腐化值。[35][34]
- 身處軍戰節點時能減少腐化時間。[37]
賞金獵人地圖
腐化值高的玩家將會顯示在世界及小地圖。這些玩家的位置會由階段 4 (市鎮) 或以上的軍事節點 NPC 標記，然後提供給擁有賞金獵人稱號的玩家。[38] 這些位置的準確性取決於玩家的賞金獵人等級。[39]
酒館是發布懸賞令的地方之一。隨着玩家腐化值增加，酒館會發布懸賞令，緝拿或指示在特定地區掃蕩腐化玩家，從而在世界地圖上建立興趣點。[40]
