Kings and Queens
Leaders of guilds that occupy guild castles are referred to as Kings and Queens.[2]
- A King or Queen may also be elected mayor of one node.[3]
Guild leadership tools
The developers are considering a number of leadership tools for guilds:[5][6][7]
- Recruitment tools.[6][7]
- Management tools.[6][7]
- Delegation tools.[6][7]
- Motivational systems.[6][7]
- Communication tools.[6][7]
- Roster.[6][7]
- Standard guild ranks (such as Guild leader and officers).[9]
- Custom rank names.[9]
- A list of available permissions per rank/role.[9]
- Departments/micro-structures (such as battallions) within the guild structure with an associated leader.[10][9]
- Freehold permissions may be associated with these micro-structures.[10]
- The idea behind guild permissions for freeholds, is that within guilds there will be micro-structures of battallions etc. If we end up allowing guild permissions for freeholds it will likely only apply to the other members within the guild's micro-structure.[10] – Steven Sharif
- Audit logs may be available to guild leaders and officers.[11]
- Guild stats.[12]
- Information about guild membership, such as archetype and class makeup will be made available.[12]
- Access to guild stats is subject a permissions structure.[12]
- For me personally, being a guild leader of a very large guild in the past, these types of administrative functions are life savers for guild leaders... Guild leaders are a very important part of the community for MMORPGs in general and the reason for that is- think of it like a queen on the board- "I bring order to chaos". To a degree, guild leaders are that order to the chaos. They help organize- they do so through lieutenants- they delegate responsibilities. There are good leaders, there are bad leaders, but essentially it's a highly social environment and if you can find a good guild and that guild is augmented with complimentary services from the company, from the game itself, it just makes that life easier and allows them to execute better. So in my opinion that is an important aspect.[8] – Steven Sharif
- Guild management tools are expected to be available at the start of Alpha-2.[5]
公会城堡
Five guild castles exist in Ashes of Creation.[15][14][16]
- Each of the five castles has its own static layout. Castle siege defenses include deploying traps and blockades within the castle, as well as hiring mercenary NPCs to defend specific locations.[15][17][18][19]
- While the hard structural environment is static and not able to be- you're not building a castle if you own a castle, you're inheriting a historic ruined castle that is representative of the past because it has some tie-in to specific types of powers that we haven't gotten into from a lore perspective yet but we haven't expressed to the community. That's something that we're going to leave for the community to find out when they play. But when you place mercenaries and you place those blockades and you place those traps, that affects the level design of the castle according to the strategy you might use to defend it.[15] – Steven Sharif
- 攻城戰 occur in the open world but may become instanced based on testing.[20]
- There is one castle located on an island that is able to be affected by naval combat.[24][25]
- Castles will initially be occupied by an NPC adversary. These are the primary antagonists in the storyline. 行会 have a period of time to level up in order to siege these castles.[26][27]
- These Castles are occupied when players arrive on Verra, and their current inhabitants will have to be removed before any player can claim them. Castles will be dangerous and high-level raid zones until they can be cleared, and the first group of players to do so will gain the Castle as their reward.[14]
Benefits of guild castles
公会城堡 provide benefits and trophies for guilds that capture and control them.[13][30]
- These benefits increase the longer a guild holds its castle.[13]
There are levers and dials that are present to both the owners of Castles as well as the elected officials of Nodes that during their administration they have the ability to impact and influence the region around them.[31] – Steven Sharif
Guild castles exert a King or Queen's presence over nodes within their region.[13][31][32]
- Levy taxes for the purposes of defense (additional to taxes already imposed by node governments).[13][32]
- Activate events and abilities that benefit node citizens under their rule.[13][32]
- Establish special relationships with 市長 to help build up the three dedicated castle nodes.[13]
- Unlock additional types of buildings in nodes.[32]
- Exert control and pressure over one of the five economic regions.[13]
Royal mounts
飛行坐騎是第三階級[34]的坐騎,可以通過成為大都市據點的領主或公會城堡的國王和王后獲得。亦可以透過擊殺傳說級世界王後掉落的蛋後孵化所得。[35][36]
- 如果是通過世界王掉落而得到,坐騎將會有15-30天的生命期限(包括上線和下線時間),[35] 期限過後坐騎就會消失。[36][37]
- 每個伺服同時只可能存在10-20隻飛行坐騎,這取決於傳說級世界王的重生時間。[38][41]
- 飛行坐騎體積比滑翔坐騎(第二階級坐騎)大3到4倍。[34]
Generally flying is not something that we're going to be doing in this game and there's a lot of reasons for that: Some of it is economic, some of it is ... you create this really great looking world and we don't want you flying over all the time.[2] – Jeffrey Bard
At any given point in time you're gonna see anywhere from 10 to maybe at max I would say around 20 based off of the legendary world boss timers. Probably 20 people who have flying abilities.[38] – Steven Sharif
Dragons are a class of these royal mounts. You can get different types of royal mounts. They don't have to be dragons. They could be some other type of legendary mythical creature... It will be an epic looking large-scale creature and people will notice you and it while you are approaching.[36] – Steven Sharif
Undermounts
The guild leader of a castle can grant the use of flying undermounts (such as wyrmlings) to guild officers during a castle siege.[44][45][46][47]
- These may only be granted if the castle nodes are successfully established prior to the siege.[47]
- Node A grants 1 undermount, Node B grants 2 undermounts, and Node C grants 2 undermounts.[48]
- This system is subject to change during testing.[48]
Little wyrmlings that you can grant to officers if you're a castle owner, and they can fly around too.[45] – Steven Sharif
