遊戲難度
Ashes of Creation will be on the higher side of difficulty when it comes to engagements.[1][2][3]
- Adventuring is not easy in Ashes... The intent is that encounters are difficult. The world is dangerous. It is not a cakewalk to progress within Ashes.[1] – Steven Sharif
The difficulty of PvE content, such as raids and dungeons will adapt based on the performance of the raid or group against previous bosses in that encounter.[6]
- Higher performance in earlier phases will increase the difficulty of subsequent phases of the encounter.[6]
- Certain AI behaviors might activate based on progress within an encounter.[5][7]
- Bosses and mobs will not auto-scale based on group size, but AI behaviors may dynamically adapt to the number and types of combatants in proximity to the encounter.[5][8]
- Both in Alpha-2 and when the game launches, there will be monsters whose technical level is above that of the cap; and the intent there is obviously again to provide some level of challenge that exceeds a comparable level challenge rating.{livestream|2023-11-30|1h53m50|V9F_AJl9ozY}} – Steven Sharif
- The higher the difficulty, the better the loot tables will be.[6]
- Q: How challenging will raid boss mechanics be given the given that players may need to simultaneously fight other players while also fighting the boss?
- A: It depends. The great thing about our encounter system is that it has a wide scalability from encounters that some might consider easy given their composition to encounters that some might consider impossible until they get their gear level to a certain stage. The level of interaction with other players is really predicated on the encounter itself. We may have some encounters that are in instances although the predominant portion of those will be in the open world, in which case they do have the potential being contested; and these encounters, especially the big ones that might land in contention, are giving some of the best-in-slot gear you can get in the game. So it's important that they are contested because it is a significant victory point; and one of our core pillars is risk versus reward: and the higher that risk the higher that reward should be. So those two things seem fitting and then in addition we do have the concept of winners and losers. Not everybody in Ashes of Creation is going to be a winner; and that sucks if you're not I guess, but there is opportunity for you to continue to excel and become one. But it gives much more meaning to an achievement when not everybody gets the achievement. That's our philosophy.[10] – Steven Sharif
- Q: So it's the sort of thing where it might be, we're going do a dungeon that's oops, all fire golems, so if everybody straps up with plate armor and fire resistance, you don't have to worry about the magic fire: you've got the fire resistance for. And when you start getting punched around, that's why everyone's come in with plate?
- A: The encounters design team presents a particular type of challenge rating- for those you're familiar with playing DnD or whatever, challenge rating gets informed by a few different vertical power levels, but then there's also the horizontal perspective: That is, what tools does your party have to address the challenge rating of the situation and some of the horizontal progression exists within how you kit your equipment slots. Some of those can be enhancements or stones, as you're discussing with fire resistance. Some of those are base stats that exist on a particular item, such as physical damage mitigation versus magical damage mitigation and what subtype of damage is incoming based on that. These are the ways that we emphasize that more rock-paper-scissors type of interaction with balance to where it's okay to have asymmetric imbalance if there are horizontal methods by which you achieve the challenge rating.[11] – Steven Sharif
等级调整
Levels, stats, or skills will not be scaled to allow low level players to participate in encounters with higher level players or world bosses.[12][13][14]
- Q: Will world bosses scale when it comes to player levels and is it based on players or the zone itself leveling?
- A: They will not scale based on player level, no.[12] – Steven Sharif
导师计划
There will be a mentorship program where upper-level players are able to benefit from partying and/or helping lower level players; and getting them situated in the game.[14]
- Certain node buildings and organizations offer quests that can be initiated by a mentor to assist new players. Rewards are offered to both the mentor and the mentee upon completion.[15]
- There will be activities that are present for higher level players to mentor lower level players. Let's say you have a friend who joins later on and you still want to do things with them, there will be things to do. Will he be able to enter a dungeon of your level and participate? No, because we don't want to inflate or deflate characters and manipulate that type of skill or power. We want that to be something that makes sense for them in a progression standpoint.[16] – Steven Sharif
- The mentorship program provides individual quests that can be initiated by the mentor based off of what node that they are part of. So these are like quests that are determined by either certain buildings and/or organizations or the mayor; and there are specific ones that are available for mentors to provide mentees; and they can also participate in some of those quest lines as well: Whether that be leading your mentee through a dungeon or providing a location for them to arrive with you at, or escort quests for the NPC caravans. These types of things, when done together with your mentor, will provide benefits both for the mentor and the mentee as well, so you're incentivized to participate with new players.[15] – Steven Sharif
学习曲线
Ashes of Creation will be easy to understand yet hard to master.[17]
- My stance on participation trophies is that things should be hard, people should fail, the bitter taste of defeat is what makes success that much more rewarding. Helping other players learn encounter strategy, and fine tuning their play style for high end content is an important part of eliminating participation trophy. Growing together is a good thing, and that include failing together as a means to drive for success together.[18] – Steven Sharif
Meta
A goal of Ashes of Creation is to emphasise micro metas that work for specific encounters, and de-emphasize macro metas that work for everything.[19]
- What we're doing with this approach is we're de-emphasizing a macro meta and instead emphasizing a micro meta. And the difference between the macro/micro is that on the micro level you have metas that might form based on each individual type of encounter or experience. And in those senses, yes, there's going to be a most optimal: There's going to be a best in slot. There's going to be whatever that pertains to that particular challenge rating. But there won't we there will not be an overarching meta that says from a macro level, hey, if you got this shit, you're good to go for everything. That's boring, that's unfulfilling, that is not interesting; and it is just something that that dumbifies the experience.[19] – Steven Sharif
- The effectiveness of classes, skills and gear is going to depend on the adversary or the encounter. There will be optimal builds for different challenges and difficulty ratings. This design aims to avoid any obvious meta or "cookie-cutter" builds in Ashes of Creation.[19][20]
- Different challenges are presented dynamically to players based on node progression and destruction. Situations that are based on a rock-paper-scissors design will inspire a horizontal gear chase. These dynamic challenges will change from month to month, causing a shift in demand in the economy as different builds are required by the new content.[20]
- Increasing difficulty ratings inspire more of a traditional vertical power progression that is common in other MMOs.[11][20]
- Oftentimes you just have a very vertical power scale and that determines chase, but when you have a variety of relevance across certain types of adversaries and that variety changes over time because of player activity- and then that affects the economy and the crafter system and who was producing what for what demand- and everything gets shaken up. That's a very fun environment to exist in. It presents a more dynamic situation rather than a quote-unquote cookie-cutter type selection.[20] – Steven Sharif
- The intricacies of how nodes interact with predicates in the world means that it may be possible but difficult to achieve meta server builds.[21]
- Q: Do you have any concerns on players eventually discovering a meta server build with nodes due to players heading to specific nodes and regions because they find that content more enjoyable; and if so how would you go about getting players to shift around the world to break up the meta?
- A: I think it's interesting if players have a concerted effort across a server to interact with one another, learn from their actions, mistakes, successes, and effectuate that on the server. That's interesting, but I don't believe we'll see a meta form. I think that the intricacies are too great when it comes to how predicates are formed in order to elicit world state changes.[21] – Steven Sharif
休闲 vs. 重度玩家
The multiple progression paths in Ashes of Creation are designed to suit different playstyles and offer different "lanes" for players depending on the time they have available to play.[22][23][24][25]
- Some progression paths will be more immediately achievable, which are more suited to casual players.[23]
- Triggered events such as cravans and sieges will allow casual players to participate in impactful events without significant time investment.[26]
- Lower level characters will have usefulness in mass combat that does not depend on their level, such as manning siege weapons, helping repair fortifications, bringing proximity-based buffs to key positions, using stealth or scaling walls. These types of things are relevant to the tide of battle and do not require the player to be max-level or have high combat stats.[27]
- There are events that are happening in the world in the game that you won't need to be a hardcore player to impact and join. For example, the triggered events from the PvE standpoint against the cities; the trades of the caravans; those natural battlegrounds that exist; the castle sieges you can login for. There is a lot of systems that are at play where a person can simply log in, participate, have fun, be impactful and then log out.[26] – Steven Sharif
- Other progression paths will require a significant time investment, which casual players will take longer to achieve than hardcore players.[23]
- The contribution of a large mass of casual players working together may have a greater impact on node progression than hardcore players. Hardcore players may be able to progress into to late-game content faster than casual players, but may lack the numbers to influence the nodes in those locations as quickly as the larger population of casual players.[23]
- Traditionally in MMORPGs you're going to see a larger population of casual players than you do of hardcore players; and that's just the way the cookie crumbles from a population standpoint. And because of that and the way that nodes collect experience and advance as a result of player activity, those casual players will actually have more impact on node progression than the hardcore players will: at least as I predict, because of the sheer quantity disproportionate between the two different groups of people... You may see in Ashes the smaller hardcore group of players progress further into the late-game content, right. But they don't have the numbers to influence the nodes in those locations as quickly as the more casual... larger population has near the outskirts.[23] – Steven Sharif
目标玩家
The developers want Ashes of Creation to appeal to both younger and older generations of MMO gamers.[28]
- I think our target demographic, obviously we have a very high graphic fidelity in the game that's attractive to younger players, but at the same time we have a very roleplay game orientation - a a play back to that pen-and-paper Dungeons & Dragons feel that perhaps younger generations may not know but is very near and dear to the hearts of older gamers. So I think we have a broad appeal from a demographic standpoint.[28] – Steven Sharif
玩家种类
Ashes of Creation will cater for a variety of player types from Raiders or PvPers to Role players and Crafters.[29]
- The most compelling design argument for how those different sects of gamers interact with each other is dependant from the design standpoint of interdependencies in the systems. So, for example if as a Raider or as a PvPer you're looking for the best gear, you're going to devote your time towards leveling up and going out and participating in the things you enjoy like pvping, perhaps going for caravans or sieging cities and castles and all that type stuff. If you want the best gear, you're going to have to rely on a person who's devoted their time towards crafting potentially; and they may not be a PvPer but they have a place in your wheelhouse because you need their services. And then that crafter is going to need a person who is either a gatherer or plays the economy as a merchant in the nodes with the auction houses that are regionalized. They're going to have to work with a person who specializes in trade that takes caravans with either mercenary groups or other guilds that are PvPers between the nodes to get the resources they need. Building dependencies on different groups or factions of players that exist within a large world like this MMORPG is what solidifies the bonds that allow for them to exist either harmoniously, or at least in a way that they know you need those types of players.[29] – Steven Sharif
战斗
Ashes of Creation 的战斗着重策略和战术。[33]
- 战斗是游戏与玩家最有联系的系统。战斗必须是即时、灵活、以及流畅,还有带给玩家满足感。[32]
我们希望战斗富有代入感、而且有趣...现在我们已加快步伐,进行 Alpha -1 初阶段开发,因此现时的焦点是放在无锁定目标战斗模式,同时建立相关系统。我们这样做是因为多年来MMORPG都采用Tap键目标锁定模式,尽管现时动作MMORPG兴起,亦有一些成功的无锁定动作游戏,例如TERA和黑色沙漠。因为Tap键锁定和无锁定战斗是两种完全不同的游戏模式,我们希望能透过深入这方面的开发,让我们更了解如何把两者融合在同一游戏里。[34] – Steven Sharif
重制后的战斗系统将在 Alpha-1 测试期间内推出。[35][36]
战斗记录
There are combat logs in Ashes of Creation.[38]
We will be providing combat data for individual players in their chat window, that players can filter and analyze for themselves. The goal is to mitigate and make the practice less prevalent through the ease that DPS meters provide. Also to place actionable enforcement for players who attempt to circumvent the decision by use of 3rd party programs, for which we will be monitoring.[18] – Steven Sharif
游戏平衡
The way that the systems are being designed from a balancing standpoint we're taking into account how we would like the nodes to change per-se how often and we've designed attrition systems for certain cultures that may have more dominance over others. These are things that in Alpha and Beta we will be testing and watching and making sure that our objective is achieved from a gameplay standpoint and if it's not we'll come back and recalculate.[39] – Steven Sharif
职业平衡
- Balancing in Ashes of Creation is group focused not based on 1v1 combat.[40][41][42]
- 1v1 matchups will have a rock-paper-scissors dynamic, where one class will be superior to another.[40][42]
- 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.[42] – 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.[43] – Steven Sharif
- Alpha-1 testing was focused on core functionality rather than combat balance.[37]
- Alpha-2 testing will begin to focus on balancing once populations and encounters have been put in place and are deep in testing.[40][2]
- 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.[40] – Steven Sharif
- The sixty four (64) classes are partitioned into eight primary archetypes. Balancing of active skills only relates to these eight primary archetypes.[41][44]
- Certain secondary archetypes are capable of "bridging the gap" between their counterpart.[49]
- 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.[41] – 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.[49] – Steven Sharif
攻城战平衡
There are points of balance that we want to incorporate, such as the defense mechanisms that the defenders have, the types of buffs that are acquired through completing killing the bosses, or capturing control points, the stages before a siege when it comes to those node progressions in the preceding weeks: Those are all going to be balanced considering all things being equal between the two sides. But obviously we're not going to control the state of gear acquisition that one side might have as an advantage over the other. There might be a much better geared team over there. There might be a much better coordinated team. There might be a higher number of individuals who are part of the attacking or the defense. Those are components that we aren't necessarily going to put on railroads so-to-speak. But the aspects of design that we can talk about like the hit point health of a particular wall or door, or mercenaries that can be hired; what's their cost, what's their damage output: Those are things yes we're going to balance. But obviously anything that's player dependent or that has player interaction and activity and determination you can't always balance; and you don't want to balance. Those aspects you leave those to the players.[50] – Steven Sharif
角色威力膨胀
The developers intend to limit power creep via item sinks, the lack of gear binding, and the absence of pay-to-win or pay-to-convenience in Ashes of Creation.[51]
成长
成长 occurs through a variety of pathways.[22][25]
- The objective is to provide both vertical and horizontal progression.[52][53][54][55]
- Having the ability to gain power at a sacrifice... That's a way to reach a horizontal type of progression. It may not be entirely, because there could potentially be a meta if balancing isn't done correctly; but the objective there is to make sure we have both vertical and horizontal progression in the game.[54] – Steven Sharif
- Different progression pathways are designed to suit different playstyles.[22][23][24][25]
- Multiple playstyles should be relevant and viable. Additionally, you have a spread between casual players and hard-core players; and most of us exist somewhere on that spectrum. The progression path in a society or religion is more conducive to the time we have to play. Whereas, someone else may be playing several hours a day, and they have a better opportunity for the raid/level progression that might require some more dedication. So we want to have these different progression paths available to accommodate the different times in our lives that we have to play the game. And all of those types of progressions will make us relevant in some way shape or form to the general world.[24] – Steven Sharif
- Progression pathways in Ashes of Creation are per-character.[56]
- The way that Ashes is constructed is there are multiple paths of progression from a from a PvX perspective, a wide net perspective that players have interest in; and you're not going to be able to become the master of everything. So you're going to have to pick and choose, but even picking and choosing that gives you a place within that aspect of the world at a place that's going to be something that you can build up a reputation around.[22] – Steven Sharif
- The ratio that various progression systems influence player power will evolve over time. In the early game adventuring level may be the dominant influence on player power. 装备 may become more influential on player power closer toward endgame.[57]
- Q: Could you explain in detail what you mean by 50% of player power when talking about gear influence on player power?
- A: That's just a general allocation of what players can expect to pursue when enhancing their player character power. Now obviously, the distribution and ratio of those types of influences, whether it be itemization, whether it be level, whether it be, augments choices, and/or skill tree choices: those influences and ratios change through the leveling curve. So, at lower levels your character level is going to be more influential over character power than itemization will be, but at endgame or higher levels, or at the end of the adventuring level progression, that's when itemization really gets an emphasis for its ratio of player power.[57] – Steven Sharif
- Repetition will not be part of progression in Ashes of Creation.[58]
- The game hosts a wide array of progression paths, and some of those paths will grant additional paths to augmenting your threat generation. This can be in the form of enchantments and stats ... and even in the form of augments granted from societies and religions. Gear and skills choice are also a big component.[59] – Steven Sharif
水准 won't follow a traditional linear path, although classic mechanics for leveling exist.[53][61]
- Leveling: the act of of going out and adventuring, of killing monsters, and combat in general is the most tactile and moment-to-moment type of gameplay that you're going to experience in Ashes of Creation; and I think at every step of the way in that adventure it should be fun, and it should be something that you enjoy doing, and it should be something that's rewarding, and it should be something that teaches you more about the immersive world that you're in and allows you to follow a compelling storyline.[62] – Steven Sharif
- Players will have the option to rush their vertical progression to level cap or spend time building infrastructure through horizontal progression.[52][53][54][55]
- Experience (XP) is gained through a variety of vertical and horizontal progression paths, such as PvP, PvE, 探索, 采集/加工/制造, Events/任务, Grinding mobs.[63][53][64][65]
- XP will be awarded for participating in objective-based PvP on a diminishing returns basis.[64]
- A character's level is visible to other players.[66]
- Some levels may offer more rewards than others.[67]
- I think you can emphasize some levels more than others and that's a great way to do progression. But I think ultimately that you should see a reward for your progress or effort spent.[67] – Steven Sharif
- There will not be level boosts or auto-leveling (AFK leveling).[68][69]
- As part of our ideals as a game we're not going to give boosts away. We're not going to auto-level up a character. You have to spend time acclimating yourself to what this game is, to what the world that you're part of is; and that's an investment- a time investment; and that plays towards our ideas of risk-versus-reward; and I've always said our game's not going to be for everybody and that's okay.[68] – Steven Sharif
- If I have a skill that does a thousand damage to a target of equal level I don't want my skill to do zero damage to a target that's five levels above me.[70] – Steven Sharif
- A player could in theory level to max level at a single node, providing that node was at a high-enough stage, but it would not be the most effective means of leveling.[71]
End game
Ashes of Creation 将不会有一般的 end-game 阶段。[14]
整个节点体验的一部分是,由于世界每天都不断改变,游戏不是有真正的 eng-game 阶段。游戏开始第二个月将比第一个月非常不同,这是老玩家和新玩家同时经历的体验。[14] – Jeffrey Bard
我们希望这是个充满活力的游戏,即是所有内容永远都不会过时。我们尽可能让升级过程的体验和 end game 体验相同。我们认为为了让玩家在游戏不同阶段都可以得到最大的乐趣,升级过程的体验至关重要。[72] – Sarah Flanagan
等级上限
开发者预料玩家需要花费约45天,每天玩4-6小时才能达到满等 [74][75]
- Lower level characters will have usefulness in mass combat (such as 节点战) that is not directly dependent on their level, such as manning siege weapons, helping repair fortifications, bringing proximity-based buffs to key positions, using stealth or scaling walls. These types of things are relevant to the tide of battle and do not require the player to be max-level or have high combat stats.[27]
The idea is not to be a game where somebody can essentially no life for a week and be max level. The idea is to incorporate some significant chunk of time but still respect the casual player, because the way we respect the casual player is not everything is driven in our game through the adventuring progression line. Not everything is driven through your class level per-se. There's a lot of different progression paths that are available and make you relevant within certain systems and mechanics within the game; and some of those paths are more casual friendly and some of those paths are more hardcore friendly. So with regards to the adventuring class, the idea is to make sure that investment needs to be pretty significant and that the reward then is respective of that investment.[74] – Steven Sharif
练等
Repetition will not be part of progression in Ashes of Creation.[76]
- There will be no "grindy" quests.[76]
- There will not be repetitive quest lines through a single dungeon to obtain gear.[77]
- The aspiration is to have more things to do in the game than a player has time to do.[76]
挂机升级
在Ashes of Creation中不会有AFK 练级.[69]
我们希望这个游戏能被玩起来。如果有一些事情你可以不玩游戏,但仍能取得进展,我们就做错了.[69] – Jeffrey Bard
职业成长
若一名斗士选择法师为副原型,其将变成 Spellsword. 组合原型后,玩家可以将主技能树的技能增强。斗士的冲锋能让他们冲向敌人,对其造成伤害并有机会击倒敌人。而法师的逃脱增强可以应用于冲锋,让冲锋变成将玩家传送到目标的位置,移除了本来向敌人冲锋所需的时间。[78]
世界事件不会直接影响职业的效能,但将可能有一些附带影响,例如装备、附魔和纹身的供应。[20]
区域与发展
地下城, 大型副本, 世界头目, Mobs, 任务, Events, 资源, Narratives and other content within a node's ZOI will have a diverse level range; but will scale with the advancement of that node and its racial influence.[86][87][88]
- Portions of the spawn tables (for mobs and resources) are static and other portions are dynamic and adapt to node development.[89]
- We don’t have a strictly level 25 zone. Instead, that zone might have some level 10 creatures near the road, some level 20 creatures deep in the forest, and some level 30 creatures up the mountain. These ratios will change based on the Nodes that inform them, becoming generally more dangerous as the Node grows. All this civilization attracts the attention of Things-That-Should-Not-Be. This does not mean that wilderness areas are safe, by any means. Some may be safe-er, but all will have dangers that even the most experienced traveler needs to watch out for.[90] – Steven Sharif
Game design
传统上为人熟悉的 MMO 设计有两种不同游戏循环:“主题乐园”和“沙盒”。现时大多数的 MMO 都属于“主题乐园”– 这种游戏会引导玩家沿着特定路线游玩,一如既往的任务枢纽之间会设有一个个景点,但甚少会出现分岔路,令玩家几乎没有自由成长的空间。近来新上市的 MMO 有的采取沙盒模式,尽管沙盒有极高的自由度,但是由于游戏世界内没有预设的内容,也没有人为的开发,很多玩家会感到意犹未尽,简单来说就像只有一大堆“沙”。很多玩家因此经常陷入两难,要不选择重复性高的主题乐园,不然就是荒无人烟的沙盒,而 Ashes of Creation 的节点系统正是将这两者连接的桥梁。[91]
为了让沙盒的机制变得有意义,游戏里必须有精心策划的内容来伴随玩家的决择。意思就是,作为游戏开发,我们必须创造“主题盒”式内容,应对玩家所选的每一条游玩路线。[92] – Steven Sharif
设计概念
Ashes of Creation 的设计遵循五大概念支柱。[93]
Ashes of Creation 每项设计都遵循五大支柱:引人入胜及亲历其境的故事、动态的世界、玩家互动、玩家主导及风险与回报。玩家在游戏里的所有活动都与这些概念有关联,公会所有的活动、服务器整体的活动都能让世界变得有新鲜感、常变、以及最重要的是...刺激。[93]
插件/模组
Addons, DPS meters, and threat meters will not be supported.[94][95][96][97]
- My decision is not to allow DPS meters nor add-ons. I feel we have adequate measures in place to prevent a majority of potential third party trackers. I know this subject has passionate voices on both sides and I respect the various opinions and positions many of you have expressed.[96] – Steven Sharif
- The developers do not want addons/mods to be necessary to experience the game.[98]
- The developers believe that DPS meters (parsers) can cause toxicity and other negative behaviors.[95][99][97]
- What role DPS meters provide in online communities that I've noticed in the past my experiences: they can be a bit toxic, they can be a bit exclusionary; and that's why we don't want the DPS meters.[95] – Steven Sharif
- Threat meters will also not be present in the game. There will instead be visual in-game cues to indicate threat.[95]
- Meters in my opinion are a removal from the game immersion; and what I mean by that isn't necessarily even the fact that having the meter takes you out of the game per-se, but it is- there's a lot of diegetic approach that you can take that doesn't rely on UI elements like a meter to indicate how you should do a thing; and when you're not utilizing those types of meters you can do different types of strategies and encounter design. You can have things that can be more subtle and aren't going to be immediately given away by a meter indicating something; and that's the type of gameplay that we think that I believe we want to emphasize; and for that reason, we're not going to be including threat meters. What we will be including however are animation indicators. We're going to be including ability indicators to show the tank "hey I might be losing aggro here." I'm observing in the world these immersive elements that are not tied to any specific type of UI, but indicate to me that this monster might be moving off to attack somebody else in a very immediate future; and now I should be using the abilities that I'm saving to regain that aggro, or to lock them down with a taunt or something. That to me is a bit more representative of the type of gameplay we want to to bring in our encounter design.[95] – Steven Sharif
- There will be integrations available for streaming services such as Twitch and a few other services, but it's not something that will be exposed through an API just yet.[100]
- The design of the game API is still under consideration.[101]
