Ashes of Creation has the traditional trinity of 坦克, DPS (damage dealers) and Support (healer or non-healer) roles.[1][2][3]
- We have our eight base archetypes; and the trinity is a pretty strong influence with regards to the eight base classes. However the area in which we actually begin to play with that line between the trinity is in the secondary classes that you can pick. That's where we begin to blend those spaces and allow people a little bit of influence over their role and whether or not they fit perfectly within a particular category within the trinity.[4] – Steven Sharif
- Although traditional roles are present, players should not feel branded by their primary archetype.[2][3]
- Skill augments available through the class system allow characters to be personalized outside of their primary role.[2][3][4]
- Players can also double down on their archetype choice to strengthen their primary role.[2][3]
平衡
- Balancing in Ashes of Creation is group focused not based on 1v1 combat.[5][6][7]
- 1v1 matchups will have a rock-paper-scissors dynamic, where one class will be superior to another.[5][7]
- There will be match ups in 1v1s where one class will be superior to another; and that application should be a rock-paper-scissors dynamic. We want there to be counter-play between the different classes... Instead it's going to be a group focused balance, where as long as you have the diversity of classes present, that's going to be an equal level playing field. It's going to be very dependent on skill and strategy.[7] – Steven Sharif
- Balance-wise, there's a number of different interactions mechanically that you have within an ability that you can adjust in order to balance its power. The most most common ones are: Cooldown, Mana consumption, Damage done, Effect status conferred, Promotion of that effect status, Range.[8] – Steven Sharif
- Alpha-1 testing was focused on core functionality rather than combat balance.[9]
- Alpha-2 testing will begin to focus on balancing once populations and encounters have been put in place and are deep in testing.[5][10]
- When we move into Alpha 2 and we have a lot of data that's supporting the use of these particular abilities in combat settings, how often they're used, how often they result in death, what the average damage done by this archetype is comparatively to other damage done by different archetypes: All of that data gets logged and all of that data gets queried in order for us to refine the abilities so that they live in the environment we want them to. Now, that's not to mean that we're going to have a perfect balance across the board between the archetypes. Again, we're taking a rock-paper-scissor approach to balance, which means that some archetypes will do better against other archetypes and vice versa; and we're also not creating an environment where we want to have 1v1 balance. We are focused around group balance. Group composition is important.[5] – Steven Sharif
- The sixty four (64) classes are partitioned into eight primary archetypes. Balancing of active skills only relates to these eight primary archetypes.[6][11]
- Certain secondary archetypes are capable of "bridging the gap" between their counterpart.[16]
- Even though augments do radically change the way your active skills provide you abilities, there's still a primary focus on the base archetype itself and not the 64 whole classes.[6] – Steven Sharif
- Certain archetypes are capable of moving the gap between their counterpart per-se. If I am a Tank archetype and a Mage is my counter, I can take a Mage secondary and bridge the divide slightly; and then move my identity that direction ever so slightly.[16] – Steven Sharif
