公會戰

公會戰 are objective-based PvP events between guilds.

• 公會戰 can be declared at any time, but the objectives will only spawn during server prime-time.
  • Players can kill each other at any time during the war (not only during server prime-time).

• Guild war objectives are intended to dynamically spawn based on various conditions that exist within each guild.

• Guild wars are not permanent. Definitive victory/surrender conditions exist that are based on the level of the warring guilds and the assets that those guilds have.

• Guild wars operate outside the PvP flagging system.
  • Death penalties (mostly) do not apply to objective-based events, such as guild wars.

• Guild wars are considered a core system of Alpha-2.

Q: How do you plan on keeping wars fresh long term? Typically in other games wars become one dimensional in terms of strategy. Will intrepid be looking at map changes every few years, or will you give guilds / node mayors the ability to customize the layout or objectives of the battlefield?

A: Our guild wars have objective-based gameplay that spawn in the world based on several different factors and predicates that might exist. Some of those predicates might be where is your guild a patron guild of? Does your guild have a guild hall? What node is your guild leader and/or officers a citizen of? What was your last completed raid boss? All of those can serve as predicates to then spawn a certain objective within the world that players have to either engage with in a number of different manners. Either they can be kill objectives, they can be control objectives, they can be capture and move objectives. They could be a caravan caravan summons that need to take supplies from those objectives. The idea is to incorporate all of these other ancillary systems that exist within the game in some way shape or form- tie it into the guild war, because we've created those systems for a reason. We want players to engage with those systems, so why not hook those systems into the guild war format? And I think that that creates a very dynamic setting where it is not just about killing and logging out, but rather strategy in both your resource placement, how you respond, and when you respond, the composition of your raid/group teams. Those types of things play a role now in the outcome of those guild wars and I think they keep it fresh because it'll be different per war. – Steven Sharif

以下某些信息最近尚未得到开发人员的确认，可能不在当前的开发路线图上。

• Guilds may war multiple guilds/alliances at a time.

Guild alliances

Guild leaders can create an alliance at a later stage in guild progression by completing a quest.

• Once created, the leader can invite up to three other guilds to this alliance, but this is subject to change.

• A guild may only be a member of one alliance.

• There is no member cap in an alliance, only a maximum of four guilds.

Will the largest guilds segment off into different chapters of their guild that are part of small guilds? Absolutely that will happen; and the way that we combat the efficacy of doing that always is through how we design our encounters and our events to incorporate the use-case of where smaller guilds and their passive abilities are necessary to overcome certain challenge ratings. Will it always be most beneficial for larger guilds to do that? No, not always. It depends on what they're encountering, but you absolutely will see some guilds leveraging that for sure. – Steven Sharif

• Guild leaders will be able to pool resources into a guild alliance bank.

You can only invite a number of guilds to the alliance before you must form a new alliance; and then those alliance can have a de facto friendship but they won't have any game component of connection. What the alliance system would allow is pooling of resources into by guild leaders into an alliance guild alliance bank. Will allow certain participation in different quest lines. It will allow common area chat for members and it will allow affiliations and gear that can be attained as well. – Steven Sharif

• There will be alliance specific quest lines.

• Alliance members will share a common chat channel.

• Alliances will have affiliations and gear that can be attained.

• Guilds may enter into trade agreements.

We have a specific system that relates to being able to invite another guild into an alliance that sets a flag on those characters with regards to being able to combat them, being able to share a chat system with them, being able to participate in specific types of quests and/or alliance warehouses and guild homes; with regards to the relationship of castle sieges and participating in node warfare and node activities. If you're not in an alliance with someone, you're in a neutral state so to speak. You can have trade agreements between different guilds and then you can also have Guild Wars which shows a state of war between you guys. I think that's the baseline of how we're going to develop interaction between guilds. – Steven Sharif

• Due to the lack of fast travel, guilds will need to plan to have people in the right place at the right time. 同盟 with other guilds will help enable that.

Ashes of Creation may have specific content that revolves around 同盟.

• 成長 pathways within alliances.
• 行会 sharing common services with alliance members.
• Node alliances.

Content that revolves around alliances specifically and progression within the development of that alliance; and the ability to share some common services between guilds that are part of that alliance. I think that additionally allowing alliances to toggle certain relationships with nodes as an interaction is beneficial. That's going to provide an interesting dynamic for players who are either members of the particular node that has the relationship established or members of the Alliance. So I think that obviously building systems is is about creating the channels by which these players can form bonds and the more layers you have around those channels of bonding between the different guilds or players, the more sustainable that relationship. – Steven Sharif

野外 PvP 標記系統旨在阻止玩家惡意騷擾他人。

• 野外 PvP 將不僅是單純偷襲謀殺其他玩家。
  • 玩家無疑會進行偷襲，但 Ashes of Creation 的目的是不要讓遊戲只剩下偷襲。
• 腐化懲罰的嚴厲程度將能足以阻止一切死守復活點的行為。

Ashes of Creation 的 野外 PvP 標記有三級。

• 非戰鬥員 (綠色)
  • 所有玩家一開始都是非戰鬥員。
  • 非強制攻擊 ( 如範圍技能) 將不會命中非戰鬥員玩家。
  • 若綠色玩家被怪物擊殺 (致命一擊由怪物造成)，曾對該玩家造成傷害的玩家不會被標記成腐化。不過由於攻擊者不會看到目標的生命值 (隊伍、團隊、同盟、公會成員除外)，因此攻擊他人將代表有機會擊死目標，並變成腐化。

這個設計的重點是，除了你的隊伍、同盟、公會或團隊成員外，你都不能準確掌握對方的生命值。因此如果你想要陰險地攻擊其他玩家至接近死亡，然後讓怪物尾刀的話，你就有機會造成過量傷害，並變成腐化。 – Steven Sharif

• 戰鬥員 (紫色)
  • 非戰鬥員進入開放世界戰場時，會自動被標記成戰鬥員。標記在離開戰場後仍會持續一定時間。
  • 強制攻擊其他玩家時，會被標記成戰鬥員。被攻擊的玩家還擊時，也會被標記成戰鬥員，否則會維持非戰鬥員身分。
  • 非戰鬥員以補血、施加增益效果等方式與戰鬥員牽連時，會被標記成戰鬥員。
  • 非戰鬥員利用戰鬥寵物 (或其他由玩家操控的) 攻擊其他玩家時，會被標記成戰鬥員。
  • 非戰鬥員不會因拾取玩家屍體而被標記。
  • 由於戰鬥員的死亡懲罰較低，擊殺戰鬥員不會有後果，且鼓勵玩家這樣做。
  • 玩家不能手動將自己標記成戰鬥員。
  • 攻擊非戰鬥員或其他戰鬥員時，玩家會被標記 90 秒。
  • 戰鬥員將不能登出遊戲。

• 腐化 (紅色)
  • 戰鬥員擊殺非戰鬥員時，會被標記成腐化。
  • 腐化玩家的死亡懲罰會以倍數增加，其位置也會被賞金獵人掌握。
  • 腐化值會隨着擊殺非戰鬥員增加。
  • 非戰鬥員攻擊腐化玩家時，不會被標記成戰鬥員。
  • 腐化玩家擊殺賞金獵人時，腐化值不會增加。
  • 腐化玩家登出遊戲的所需時間為 60 秒。

玩家不能攻擊同一隊伍、團隊、公會、同盟的成員。

• 透過設定，玩家可以自行選擇影響對象為友方或非友方的範圍技能能否命中被標記的玩家。有勾選設定時，範圍恢復或傷害技能將影響被標記的玩家。沒有勾選設定時，範圍技能將不影響被標記的玩家，讓施法者不會一同被標記 (若尚未被標記）。

If you have that check-box for flagging with your AOEs and heals available then you will flag. If you do not have that box checked then on completion of the skill it will not flag you because the check was made at the start that there was a flagged party member; and then he will not he or she will not receive the beneficial effect as a result or the damage, if it's an offensive spell. – Steven Sharif

標記系統不適用於戰爭、商隊、公會戰。

You're not going to see griefing in the game very often; and that's because our flagging system. The corruption mechanics are based around disincentivizing a griefer or PKer but still offering the opportunity, should the occasion arise, where the benefits outweigh the risk, you have the ability to do so. If you gain corruption, which is killing a non-combatant - a player who is not fighting back basically - if you gain that corruption, your world has changed. It is not going to be a very beneficial place to be and you have the potential of losing your gear. Your combat efficacy decreases based on the amount of corruption you accrue. It is a comfortable balance between player agency and grief and basically removing player agency for other players. – Steven Sharif
